On our paths to purpose, we all meet with barriers that make us wonder if we'll ever find what we are meant to do or how we will do it. Today, Kevin talks with his good friend, Dr. Michael Hudson, about many types of barriers and how they both have overcome them. They also share the things they learned and how you can apply it in your everyday life.

Live events are a hassle. You've got to quit your daily routines, take time off from busy lives, pay for travel, lodging, and the event itself. But here's the truth. If you're a thought leader, you probably aren't attending, or holding, enough live events. What are the pros and cons, and how can you get the most out of live events?

Last week we talked about was how to share your content. This week, we dig into something deeper, more subjective. Is your content truly ready to share? Have you allowed it to gestate and grow? Michael talks about how to create amazing content, and more importantly, when it will be ready to share.

We all hit a point in our careers and dreams when we realize we need to adjust our strategy. Sometimes it's a sudden realization, sometimes it's because of failure, and other times, it's because we sat down and talked with other people. Is it time for you to take stock of what you're doing and consider a pivot of your own? How much could it increase YOUR income and impact?

Podcasts are hot right now. There are so many people wondering whether they should podcast, especially when it’s an excellent platform to reach your audience in a different way. But is podcasting right for you? Today, Michael talks through the pros and cons of podcasting and asks some very specific questions to help you decide.

Michael welcomes his dear friend, Kevin Monroe, and they engage in a revealing conversation about how they both have transitioned from six-figure consulting gigs to full time purpose consultants. Each brings a unique insight into how they're making it work, and how you can, too. Are you ready to make the same leap?

You might be your own worst enemy when it comes to getting and keeping clients. Chances are if you're doing one of these 5 things, you probably don't even realize it, so you'll repeat the mistakes over and over again. It's a provocative thing to suggest. You might even be offended, but it's time to ask some hard questions about why you're not getting, or keeping, clients. We'll also talk about how to address those problems.

Do you ever feel disconnected, like you're getting too little from the energy you pour into your work? Maybe you're approaching freelancing the wrong way. If you've listened to the podcast, you know by now that we aren't fans of 'drive-by impact' and chasing customers, living gig to gig. If you want another way to use your creativity and have stability and deep meaning in your work, this episode is for you.

When you sit down to plan your resolutions for the new year, what's your mindset? Are you focused on a 'to-do' list of things to check off for the year, or are you planning with the intention of creating not just the best year of your life, but also the best decade?

In event thinking, the client identifies the problem, finds an expert, and invites them to come and speak or consult. But what if the client doesn't understand the problem? In engagement thinking, the client identifies the problem, reaches out to you, and you conduct a pre-planning process. You assess where things are and what the real problem is. Then you're able to deliver support that will make a real change.
