The 411 on Justin 👇🏼
I’m the host of the INC Magazine top rated podcast the Growth Now Movement and host of the world renowned event Growth Now Movement LIVE! But, it wasn’t always like that….
 
You see, if there was a senior superlative for Least Likely to Succeed, that would have been me. I found myself with a 1.7 GPA, while my mom was in the middle of a 20 year opioid battle and my dad was in jail. All signs pointed to no hope. Anyone would have said to me “you’ve got no shot, kid”.
 
Like most people, I thought that it was my past that defined me. Because I didn’t come from a great up bringing and didn’t have the resources so many had, that I was destined to fail. Then, at 19 years old I got introduced to personal development by a mentor of mine. I became obsessed with the idea that I have full control over the outcome of my life simply by choosing to grow. The realization that it doesn’t matter where I come, but the choices that I make today to create a better tomorrow for myself and others is all that matters, was life changing.
 
When I launched the Growth Now Movement podcast in 2016, I had no idea what it would become. Now it gets played in over 100 countries every single week, I speak all over the country on overcoming adversity, and most importantly, I’ve discovered that we all have the power to create our own happiness, to grow into the person we were meant to be, and that we can all create the life we truly desire.

When you think about money- what's the first thought that comes up? And how does your body feel when you think about it? I knew for a long time that I wanted to change my relationship with money, but I had no idea how to even approach that learning. Bringing up the topic of money, cost, price, expense- those weren't things that other people seemed to bring up at dinner. I decided to flip the script on myself- and turn the majority of my energy and attention on money about 6 years ago. I tried a number of different budgeting apps- and I didn't really like any of them! In fact, I don't like budgets at all! And is that ok?

I met Ankita through Seph Dietlin- who you all met on my podcast a few episodes ago. I love it when... my network widens and the more I put myself out there- the more I find other humans and souls who I align with! Ankita has a lovely energy, perspective and knowledge with money, business and alignment.

The 411 on Ankita:
Ankita Terrell is a business and life coach. As a 1:1 coach, she brings her experience having worked in venture capital, for start-ups and in non-profits, including having lived full time, for three years, at a meditation retreat site in the Catskills. She now helps visionary entrepreneurs build profitable, good-for-the-world and values-aligned businesses. 
She is also the co-founder of My Founder Circle, a platform for female founders looking for community, systems, and two badass coaches who have been on both sides of raising capital, as they scale their established business.

🎙️In This Episode:
I remember walking into the Northgate Mall when I was 13 with my Mom. We were there to shop around and probably give my Mom a chance to get out of the house. I very distinctly remember thinking to myself as we walked in: "I don't care who sees me here with my Mom- she's my Mom AND she's also her own person AND she's my friend!" If you're in my circle of friends/acquaintances at some point you'll most likely meet my parents because they're an integral part of my life. I have always made an effort to share and connect with my parents in a way that I know many people don't get to experience. I am grateful every day for their relentless love, playful spirits and deep desire to support me and my 3 younger brothers. They both taught me and have reiterated this since I was born: it is 100% ok to be me- and I will always be loved exactly as I am.
Today you get to meet my Mom, Mary Smith- quite well known in the Seattle, WA area as she spent 27 years working for the Seattle Public Schools. Tune in for this episode and please share this with friends and family!

✨The 411 on Mary:
I live in Edmonds, WA with my husband of 43 years, Andy. I was born in 1954 into a large Catholic family - I am #5 of 6 children. I attended Forest Ridge, a Catholic girls school from Kindergarten through 12th grade.  I graduated from the UW in 1976 with a BA in Liberal Arts. We have four grown children, three daughter-in-laws and 7 wonderful grandchildren. I worked for 27 years for Seattle Public Schools. I retired in 2019 and spend my time doing crafts and lunching with my sisters.

Did you know that I believe in Angels and I communicate with them to help guide me in my business and personal life? If not- this episode is an introduction to this part of me! I am thrilled to have Seph Dietlin, Angel Communicator, on the I love it when podcast today. My journey with religion, faith and spirituality has all happened for a very specific purpose- and I'm just beginning to realize that now. I was raised Catholic, went to a Lutheran College, dated a Nazarene, a Baptist and experienced a variety of denominations of the Christian faith. I didn't realize it at the time, but my body was trying to talk to me and share what was aligned or out of alignment. Usually I feel this in my stomach first- someone will say something and I feel my stomach drop, or occasionally my whole body will react as if it wants me to put up my hand and signal "no"!
I'm currently at a place with my beliefs that feels so much like home, and I'm just beginning to see the benefits of finally feeling aligned and free! I started paying closer attention to my body in my early 30's and finally allowed myself to explore. I gave myself permission. Give yourself permission to explore and get curious with me today 🙂

The 411 on Seph:
Seph Dietlin is a Quantum Activator.  By offering Angel Channeling, Hypnotherapy and Quantum Energy Frequency he activates others to be aligned with their codes of potential.  He is the author of the Ascension with the Angles Tarot deck, the host of the Talk To My Angels Podcast, and the founder of Earth Angels International.  wwwTalkToMyAngels.com

We are often taught to stay small, stay quiet and follow instructions. In this episode, Kate shares about her journey and path to speaking her voice and realizing her power. Kate is the host of The Creative Genius Podcast- one of the top 1.5% podcasts globally. She speaks to artists, actors, award winning musicians, TV producers, comedians, creative psychologists, writers and even an Oscar nominated film director about creativity, the creative process, limiting beliefs that keep us stuck AND the magic that can happen when we relearn how to listen to our hearts. 

Kate and I dig into meditation and manifestation- two of my favorite topics! Why is it that we continue to hold ourselves back from things that could bring us so much joy and peace? Join us in the conversation- I can't wait for you to meet her!

The 411 on Kate:
"My grade 1 teacher told me I had a terrible voice and instructed me to stand in the back and be quiet. So for most of my life I did everything I could to do just that - stay small and be quiet. Until one day during the pandemic something snapped - I finally gathered the courage to find my voice.  I set about leaving a toxic marriage. It was the bravest thing I ever had to do. And then like some huge pipe had been cleared - after nearly 20 years - I started painting again. 

Finding my voice literally saved my life. 

And I experienced so much joy that I knew I had to find a way to share it, so I launched The Creative Genius Podcast to help other people JUST LIKE YOU find their own voices, and inner Creative Geniuses  - it has quickly grown to be one of the top 1.5% of podcasts, globally.

For 15 years my work as a professional artist has been through Morning Moon Nature Jewelry which I sold in person at Granville Island Public Market

I am an artist down to the very core of my being, it is infused into every single aspect of my life. Stones, leather, textiles, eco-printing, quilting, knitting, weaving, basketry, sculpture, beadwork - something deep within me wants to, needs to experience making it all.  

Here on this website I will share with you my paintings, my jewelry, my knowledge (for example, I made you this list of my very favourite art supplies ) and my conversations with some of the brightest and most creatively free hearts & minds of our time.  

All of it is from my heart. All if it is from Love. All of it is for you.  
May it bring you joy.

What did you grow up thinking success looked like? What does it look like for you now? Is it a house, white picket fence and a vacation once per year? Michelle Spalding shares on this episode how she's helping her clients to get quiet, tune in and discover what it is that THEY truly want- versus what they've been told they're supposed to want. I met Michelle through the Real Estate Industry and was immediately drawn to her way of speaking about business, success and living outside the box. She is passionate about helping people live their best life. Tune in- and allow yourself to play outside the lines.

As a feisty little redhead, Michelle enthusiastically told everyone she would be a writer, teacher and own a business when she grew up. It wasn’t until she was in her 40’s that she realized that she was living her childhood dream.

Today, as a Business Alchemist, she passionately works with entrepreneurs, helping them to identify and transform obstacles allowing them to create the life and business of their dreams. She is the author of three books.
When she is not helping entrepreneurs, she can often be found making art with the Grand Ginger, reading a book or on an adventure in her camper.

Guess what? Today you get to hear from one of my favorite people in the world, Tom Harrison.

Tom is my partner and love in life - we met at the beginning of Covid over a Zoom call. It's a story that we'll share over time.

Today, I want to begin with Tom's story of healing and how he came to identify that he wanted to heal. If you live in the PNW - take the opportunity to visit Tom at his storefront in downtown Everett, WA on Hewitt Ave. I invite you to play.

The 411 on Tom:
Tom is the Chief Wonderful Toys Officer for MyMyToyStore, an independent e-commerce retailer and retail storefront. That was not the path he was supposed to follow.

As a child, he overcame a debilitating chronic asthmatic condition by becoming a competitive swimmer. His health improved enough for him to live an active childhood. He loved school and discovered a passion for reading, math, science, public speaking, acting, and visual arts. Tom was accepted into all 5 of the Ivies he applied to and selected Princeton University, where he was a Division 1 swimmer all four years.

After graduating, he went straight into law school in New York City to pursue his dream of becoming a prosecutor. He had to settle instead for the world of commercial litigation. He discovered a world of complicated investigations, endless rounds of evidence gathering, and legal strategies that played out like years-long chess matches. He loved it, except for the deeply toxic work environments managed by grown-up bullies allowed to act with impunity.

As with most humans, it took a close call for him to change the trajectory of his life. He survived the horror of Ground Zero on 9/11, but was left psychologically scarred by facing his imminent death. After leaving law and New York City, he tried careers in faction writing, swim coaching, marketing, and professional training, but nothing stuck.

Fortunately, his son Michael was born in 2007. It was in the early years of play with him that Tom remembered and re-learned the restorative power, deep joy, and learning possibilities in play. In 2011, he launched an experiment by buying a bunch of toys on sale and listing them on ebay. The quick and successful sales led him to grow the company from an ebay seller into a multi-platform online retailer.

In August 2021, he relocated from Denver, Colorado to Everett, Washington. A few months later, he opened a storefront in the heart of its historic downtown district. To Tom, it feels like the recapturing of a dream that he deferred for nearly 40 years. MyMyToyStore (based on his son’s nickname) is a place where people of all ages and walks of life can connect over shared pop culture, learn how to create, and feel the joy that comes from engaging in real-world play. Go visit www.mymytoystore.com to see what we have!

You're listening to I love it when... I am your host, Mo, and I'm a speaker, coach and retreat facilitator. You're in the right place if you're looking for inspiration, education and a path to find your true self. 

My intention is to bring you stories that will help you uncover the magic within so that you can truly: BE YOU.

✨ In This Episode.....One day I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a woman who was speaking about the energy of "flow". 

I was immediately captivated by her words AND her vibe. I'm always keeping an eye out for potential speakers for my retreats and events. 

I reached out to Toni and asked if she would speak in my Inner Circle- a membership for Admin in Real Estate. 

She said YES and I was thrilled. I can't wait for you to hear this episode- Toni is a force of nature and I know we'll be doing more episodes in the future together!

The 411 on Toni:
20+ years in the real estate game, and Toni Patillo is thriving more than ever! Recently awarded one of the most prestigious recognitions in her field, Toni is now an exclusive honoree of America's Top 100 Real Estate Agents.

Toni and her team at Toni Patillo & Associates have mastered the art of complex liquidations and acquisitions. They have led thousands of families and real estate professionals through lifestyle transitions and economic crises, making her the go-to broker and expert on the 50 Plus Market, Probate, Trust Sales, Bankruptcy, Divorce, Short Sales, and Pre-Foreclosure Liquidations.

For more than 11 years, Toni served as the Broker of Record for Keller Williams Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu Market Centers, where she was responsible for the oversight of over 400 sales agents.

One of the keys to her success has been her ability to recognize a golden opportunity and take inspired action. Which is why Toni made one of the most exciting decisions of her career and transitioned her real estate brand to partner with the revolutionary global brokerage, eXp Realty! As a veteran of real estate, she feels reenergized and invigorated to be a part of the future of real estate and the future of wealth creation!

Toni believes her success as an entrepreneur comes from her passion for education. Not only is she certified by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) as an expert teacher for the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation course, but she is the creator of ‘Empowered Mindset’, a powerful program that trains entrepreneurs and real estate professionals to master the craft of team building and closing deals.

Ms. Patillo resides on the Westside of Los Angeles and is actively involved with numerous philanthropic projects such as the National MS Society, Gift of Sight, and Toni’s House (a non-profit transition home for women in recovery) to name a few.

✨ In this Episode...
I was introduced to Cheri through one of my best friends, Jered Burton- who you met in episode 6. I was excited to meet Cheri because #1: I trust Jered and his perspective immensely and #2: I have an increasing interest in the health and wellness industry. The more I learn about emotions, how connected they are to your body and how that can show up in illness- the more I lean in. I am honored to have had the opportunity to interview Cheri and have her share some of her immense knowledge with us!

Cheri is the Director Professional Engagement and Nursing Excellence in a large hospital system in Seattle, Washington. She is a relatable nurse leader and educator with more than 28 years of nursing experience, with 19 of those years in direct patient care. 

Cheri created a national curriculum on Lateral Violence in Nursing for the Association for Nurses in Professional Development in 2015, served on the Academy of Medical Surgical Nursing’s Healthy Practice Environment National Task Force in 2018 and was featured in the July, 2022 Journal for Nurses in Professional Development’s “Ask a Leader” column titled “Authenticity is Integral to Effective Leadership”. In 2020, she worked as a Clinical Nurse Specialist at the epicenter of the initial U.S. outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and has many learnings to share.

Cheri has spoken extensively locally and nationally on her passion for supporting the emotional health of both patients and healthcare workers and on creating a healthy work environment in healthcare. She still prefers to speak in person but is often willing to present virtually and offers a unique approach that fosters connection. If you are interested in a presentation that will engage your healthcare audience, encourage team building, and inspire change, please reach out.

In this episode....
One day when I was the Director of Operations for a Real Estate team out of the Seattle, WA area- the Agent I worked with received an email newsletter from PRO REA Staffing and Vanessa Rosenblum. That newsletter prompted me to reach out to Vanessa- who then introduced me to Kathleen Metcalf. We met in person for the first time in Los Angeles, California for a workshop that she and Vanessa had invited me to speak at. I soon came to find out that Kathleen was someone I could trust, depend on and heal with. 
Kathleen has immense life and work experience which makes her an invaluable coach and leader. Beyond that, for me, her most valuable qualities are her presence and heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to call her my friend, colleague and fellow lightworker. 
If you're in the Real Estate world- I highly recommend reaching out to Kathleen's team and getting on their waitlist to work with them. 

The 411 on Kathleen:
Kathleen is the heart and soul of the Inspired for Results team.
Her ability to look at the big picture and lead with an open heart allows her to create a welcoming space for real estate teams to grow. 
Kathleen began her career in real estate in 2002 as an assistant for a top-producing agent in San Francisco, CA, where she also sold real estate as a licensed agent. Since then, she has founded multiple thriving businesses and has coached countless talented agents and real estate teams across the country. After ending her day at the office, Kathleen loves to cook, decorate, garden, snowshoe and give back to her community. She treasures her time with her husband, their family, and their two mischievous (and adorable) cats, Alvin and Motor.
