Candice Lee MacAulay is a Creativity Facilitator whose life and work are guided by four pillars: get it done, resolve to complete whatever you've started, bring high intensity to everything you do and don't be afraid to try then try then try again. Does her motto sound exhausting? Can you guess her four GRIT words? Candice slowed down long enough to share some insights and practical strategies that have helped her to stay motivated and accomplish her goals whether the focus is on writing, producing music, shifting mindsets, choosing wellness or inspiring other Creatives personally and professionally.

Masterpiece Mario is a self-professed people pleaser, a proud information hoarder and a gifted Yoga Teacher even though he swore he’d never become a Yoga Teacher! In a record-setting 15 minutes, Mario opens up about his ongoing struggles with anxious thoughts and how his GRIT helps him tune them out. Being a “Yes” for himself has always been a challenge while being a “Yes” for others is a deeply-rooted calling in spite of the costs. In this incredibly introspective conversation, Mario shares his mindset and his messages to himself. It will be over before you know it!

In this extraordinary episode, Lena L takes us on a deep dive into the world of mental preparation that allows her to show up and stand tall in the face of challenges. For Lena, literally standing on a bed of nails is the most effective way to remind herself that her GRIT is all she needs when it’s time to navigate obstacles beyond the Sadhu board.

Once the shock wears off, listeners will appreciate Lena’s ability to draw parallels between her experiences on the nail board and her experiences with some of the challenging situations that life has presented to her. Lena’s inspiring journey from novice to Sadhu Master reveals the incredible connection between our mental and physical states when we do hard things!

What stops YOU from stepping into possibility? What’s your biggest fear about being seen? Since 2019, Danielle Joworski has been a disruptor who is dedicated to sharing #visibilitytruths and normalizing the journey from hiding and playing small to accelerating growth and impact.

When Danielle finally put trust in herself, she shifted from a career that was the right fit because it was the logical choice to a career that is the right fit because it’s the intuitive and authentic choice (i.e., she gets to show up as her whole self every day). Danielle’s entrepreneurial journey has taken her from “I don’t know who I am” to “I have to trust that I can do this thing even though I’ve never done it before”. Her focus is on female entrepreneurs but her insights apply to anyone in the messy middle of showing up and being seen.

With her eyes set on individual transformation as the destination, Monica D reliably finds her feet and takes a stand each time she’s thrown into the proverbial fire. In this highly visual episode, she makes it clear that being shaped by fire instead of consumed by fire is all about the perspective you choose to take when you’re in the heat of challenging situations and relationships. Mentioned in this episode: The Refiner’s Fire.

How do you describe your relationship with time? Do you always lose track of it? Is there ever enough of it? Are you a hostage to it? For Deb Taylor, founder of MYndful Movement Programs, time management used to be one of her biggest obstacles.

Piers Marsden is a self-proclaimed petrol head, universal sports fan and human ice breaker whose GRIT is the driving force behind his personal and professional success. By day, he is a Management Consultant who specializes in the somber work of helping companies that are going through significant crisis. Mostly financial distress, but also reputational or some other existential issue. This line of work means Piers has to spend a substantial amount of time travelling from Canada to South Africa, far away from his wife and three children. In a powerful revelation, Piers shares that leaving is hard but coming home and reintegrating can be the biggest challenge of all. Tune in to hear how his GRIT steers him toward the proverbial checkered flag and always gets him across the finish line at home, at work or at play!

GRIT! Camera! Action!

Art Commisso readily admits that he spends a lot of time in his head and each one of his GRIT words (Gamble-Resourcefulness-Introspection-Test) offers us a chance to look through the lens he chooses when it’s time to navigate challenging situations and relationships.

Two months ago, Art decided to take the biggest risk of his life and gamble on himself. He knew in his head and in his heart that the full-time job he had at the time was impeding his ability to take what he wanted to do to the next level. In this episode, Art comes out from behind the camera to share what he’s learned while pursuing his dreams and building Brand Savage.
