In this episode, I found another badass mom/woman who had overcome the adversity of loss to spark her passion and purpose in life!

Crystalyn Aucoin is a jewelry designer from New Orleans, Louisiana and the mom of a football-loving boy named Winston. After a decade in the jewelry industry, selling top name brands, she decided to create her own jewelry line based on a need she saw in the market for casual fine jewelry and a mission she felt was bigger than herself. Crystalyn Aucoin Jewelry launched in October of 2018.
A jewelry line was not always part of Crystalyn's vision however, a major life-altering event changed the course of her journey and her outlook forever.
In 2016, she became a widow when her 38-year-old husband Ryan passed away from cancer. His battle included an initial diagnosis of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma NOS and later Acute Myeloid Leukemia. His life, his encouraging words, and his death ultimately
opened her eyes to unapologetically living her purpose. She now navigates life with a heightened sense of gratitude and intention while encouraging others to do the same.
The mission behind Crystalyn Aucoin Jewelry is to empower women to get excited
about life and celebrate it with meaningful jewelry.
In 2021, Crystalyn discovered her passion for speaking. She now speaks on a variety of topics including Designing a Life You Love, Designing a Business You Love, and Driving Sales through Connection.
In 2022, Crystalyn was a candidate for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the year campaign where her and her team raised money in honor of her late-husband. She also allocates a percentage of sales and in-kind donations to local cancer-related non-profit organizations as well as, finds peace in helping families who are experiencing the burden of cancer with her annual butterfly release celebrating Ryan’s birthday.

"Choosing to merge my love for jewelry and my passion to help others has been the catalyst for, not only my healing, but my growth."-Crystalyn Aucoin

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Greg Birch who I've gotten to know through @aretesyndicate His mantra is "Be the difference, redefine excellence!” He lives it and it shows through his journey as an entrepreneur. We discuss discipline, hard work, being of service to others and how we continue to pay our dues in the 75 hard challenge!

Greg is a Tennessee native, raised by military parents that had an early desire to serve others. After college Greg commissioned into the US Army as an Armor officer and spent 11 years serving his country. He deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq, led Soldiers in combat and was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his actions overseas.

Greg’s time, experience and training in the military gave him the foundation that Delta Financial is built upon. He believes that leadership and building a winning culture of discipline and selfless service is the crux of any great organization. For over 4 years, Greg learned the insurance industry, gained the skills to become a record breaking producer, and infused his leadership style into the teams and agents that have come to follow him. Greg's determination to become the best and serve others to reach those same top levels are what set Delta Financial apart from other organizations in the insurance industry.

“Everything in this business comes down to discipline, hard work and service to others. If you can maintain those three with a positive attitude you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams, and help others do the same along your journey.

Part 2 of my epic conversation with retired Navy Seal and Best Selling Author of the Attributes book, Rich Diviney.  We delve into topics from elemental human performance, the writing process of his book, how he plans on writing a second book which we are extremely excited about, identity and how it evolves, and parenting. Through our discussion I discovered he and I like the same legendary band!  Can you guess who it might be and how this band's music ties in with "precision aggression: the ability to be hyper aggressive but hyper focused  in high stress Navy Seal situations."

Do you have what it takes to succeed in any situation? According to a retired commander who ran training for Navy SEALs, true optimal performance goes beyond just skill. It's all about THE ATTRIBUTES.

"Diviney's incredible book explains why some people thrive--even when things get hard."--Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit

During his twenty years as a Navy officer and SEAL, Rich Diviney was intimately involved in a specialized SEAL selection process, which whittled a group of hundreds of extraordinary candidates down to a handful of the most elite performers. Diviney was often surprised by which candidates washed out and which succeeded. Some could have all the right skills and still fail, while others he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: Who would succeed in one of the world's toughest military assignments?

It is similarly hard to predict success in the real world.

It happens often enough that underdog students accomplish exceptional achievements while highly skilled, motivated employees fail to meet expectations. Dark-horse companies pull away from the pack while dream teams flush with talent and capital go under. In working with and selecting top special operators for decades, Diviney saw that beneath obvious skills are hidden drivers of performance, surprising core attributes--including cunning, adaptability, courage, even narcissism--that determine how resilient or perseverant we are, how situationally aware and how conscientious. These attributes explain how we perform as individuals and as part of a team. The same methodology that Diviney used in the military can be applied by anyone in their personal and professional lives, and understanding these attributes can allow readers and their teams to perform optimally, at any time, in any situation.

Diviney defines the core attributes in fresh and practical ways and shares stories from the military, business, sports, relationships, and even parenting to show how understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can create optimal performance in all areas of your life.

I'm excited to finally release Part 1 of my interview with Rich Diviney @rich_diviney He is the best selling author of "The Attributes." This book resonated with me and my staff! It was a pleasure having him speak to my executive team and having him on my show!

Rich Diviney is a bestselling author, leadership and human performance expert, and retired Navy SEAL commander. During his career in the US Military, spanning more than twenty years, Rich has completed more than thirteen deployments overseas.

As the officer tasked with training others for specialized command, Diviney was intimately involved in an extremely specialized SEAL selection process, paring down a group of exceptional candidates to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. He also spearheaded the creation of a directorate, employing a strong emphasis on physical, mental, and emotional discipline to optimize the team’s performance. Diviney led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.

Since retiring from the Navy, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant at the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. In 2020, Diviney founded The Attributes Inc., where he currently serves as the corporation’s CEO.

Currently, Rich speaks and consults on leadership strategies, assessment and selection processes, and optimal performance techniques. He has worked with thousands of businesses, athletic organizations, and military leaders. His past clients include American Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, Pegasystems, Zoom, and Deloitte.
