Limitless Life

Today's guest is a personal mentor of mine and someone that I am so deeply inspired by. You've probably heard of Lewis Howes before, but if you haven't, you need to know who this guy is! Lewis Howes is a New York Times best-selling author, a lifestyle entrepreneur and a keynote speaker. He hosts the top rated podcast, The School of Greatness, which has over 35 million downloads since it began airing in 2013! Lewis has been featured on The Ellen Show and in the New York Times, Forbes and many more places. Former President Obama even recognized Lewis as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs in the country under the age of 30. In this interview we talk about the subject of his latest book, The Mask of Masculinity, and the different masks that men wear today. We also discuss what it feels like to take off these masks and how to get men to embrace vulnerability. So whether you're a woman looking to better understand the men in your life, or a man who wants to understand the masks that hold you back, this interview is for you.

I met today's guest Chris Harder in a very unique way (you'll hear the full story in the intro!) and I have to say he is an extremely kind and generous individual. After an 11-year career as an executive and partner in the banking industry, Chris was feeling burnt out and lacking fulfillment. Since then, he's retired from banking and partnered with his wife Lori and her brand, LoriHarder.com, and Chris has now found the meaning that was missing in his previous career.

Chris is also the host of the hit podcast, For The Love of Money, which is aimed at helping people bust through their money blocks to become unapologetic about their pursuit of wealth and to show that money is a tool for good in a world with many, many needs.

In today's episode we'll be talking about money mindset blocks that keep us from reaching new levels of wealth, why our culture has a problem with generosity, how to work through financial issues with your partner and the things that Chris and Lori have done over the years to create a truly incredible relationship together!

If you're like most entrepreneurs, you're always looking for ways to take your sales, performance and income to a higher level. If you're like most people though, you find yourself falling back into your old patterns. In this episode, you'll discover exactly how your brain has been working against you and what you need to do to create lasting changing and significantly improve your performance.

Jim Fortin is a master at helping people to rewire their brains in order to get what they want out of life, and that's exactly what he's going to help you do in today's episode. If you've ever wanted to move past bad habits, negative thought patterns that keep you stuck or even a lack of success, then you'll want to hear what Jim has to say!

I'm super excited for this episode with Jordan Harbinger, a social dynamics expert who's literally teaching people how to remove the mask of shyness in order to be more outgoing, charismatic and better at communicating with others.

Jordan is the creator of the top-50 wildly popular podcast Art of Charm, which he's been hosting now for over a decade! His company holds boot camps and training sessions for companies and individuals that want to learn the elements of emotional intelligence that will help them to become more persuasive, confident and charismatic.

Today you'll learn about what Jordan was like growing up (hint: he's actually an introvert by nature and grew up being very shy!) and he'll also share the two things that keep people stuck when it comes to creating true connections. Jordan also gives us some of his best tips for how to practice confidence and charisma, including a pretty cool exercise involving a doorway and post-it notes! He even delivers a beautiful rant about how we, as a community, can begin to cure the divisiveness that's been spreading around the world and come together. This episode is both extremely practical and super inspiring and I know you're going to absolutely love Jordan's advice!

This episode is with Cheryl Hunter, who is an expert in resiliency. It is one of my all-time favorite episodes, and it moved me in an extraordinarily meaningful way…

When Cheryl was living abroad at the age of 18 she was abducted, beaten, sexually assaulted and held captive for several days. Now she's devoted her life to helping other people overcome immense challenges. She's been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Fast Company, CNN and has presented multiple TED Talks that will move you to tears.

This conversation with Cheryl is far from sad or upsetting; it's one of the most inspirational and freeing interviews that I've had on this show and I know you'll leave feeling peace and resilience too. We talk about things like how her experience shaped the rest of her life's path, as well as how finding the beauty and joy while experiencing pain will allow you to look back and feel grateful for the struggles. Cheryl also shares her resiliency framework and the key strategies that can help us overcome anything. This episode will make you laugh, tear up, find the beauty in the struggle but most of all, it'll inch you closer to who you really are.

Today's amazing guest is Dorie Clark, who's joining us to share her advice on how to start your own business. Dorie is unlike most people as she started college at age 14 and graduated at 18, and then went on to hold a bunch of different positions such as non-profit executive, political campaign spokeswoman and even documentary filmmaker!

For the past decade, Dorie's been running her own marketing and consulting business, and she's also authored several books including Stand Out (which was named the #1 leadership book of 2015 by Inc.), Reinventing You and her latest book, Entrepreneurial You.

In this conversation, Dorie and I talk about things like what it was like growing up as an LGBT person, how she reinvented herself with so many different careers and why you're probably overthinking your first business. She also reveals the steps and tactics to take if you want to start your own company!

I'm honored to share that today's guest is Deepak Chopra, who is a world-renowned spiritual leader, speaker and best-selling author! He is a pioneer in personal transformation and holistic wellbeing, and today he's coming to talk about The Law of Attraction and how our thoughts affect our reality.

Deepak is also going to be sharing about his latest book, called Home: Where Everyone Is Welcome, which is a collection of songs and poems inspired by American immigrants. Even though this interview is shorter than the usual episodes of this podcast, there's a lot to take away from this conversation!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with how much information you need to learn or have you felt unfocused and distracted in trying to achieve your goals? Are you just tired and unmotivated because of the limiting beliefs you play on repeat?

Today's guest is Jim Kwik, and he's going to teach you a new way to live your life. Jim is the founder of Kwik Learning, and he's a widely recognized expert on brain performance, accelerated learning, speed reading and memory improvement. He can literally teach you how to learn so that you can operate at your full power every single day!

As you'll learn in our interview, Jim grew up with learning challenges of his own. This propelled him to want to find a better way to live and to teach other people how to do the same. You'll hear Jim's incredible story of how he got involved with brain performance, the daily habits and routines he recommends if you want to access your full potential and the incredible way that negative self-talk affects your performance. This interview is going to fascinate, inspire and teach you how to live your best life – by creating your best brain!

Today's guest is Emily Fletcher, Founder of Ziva Meditation and one of the leading experts in meditation around the world. As a self-proclaimed recovering control freak, she spent 10 years of her life on Broadway and started using meditation as a way to heal the immense stress that she was feeling as a performer. Eventually Emily made her way to India to study meditation and has now taught it to companies like Google and Viacom, as well as to over 7,000 people around the world at conferences, her live events and through her online courses.

Emily's mission is to make meditation attractive, accessible and easy to adopt into modern life. During this hilarious and informative interview she shares her special Viva Meditation Technique and how you can do it for just a few minutes a day to feel happier, look younger and be calmer and less stressed out.

I've personally been meditating for the past couple of years and can testify to the amazing benefits it brings to my own life. Emily also has a free gift for you today, which you can download at ZivaMeditation.com/Gift. I can't wait to share this interview with you, so let's dive in!

So last week you got to hear from one of my Blog to Biz Hive students, Allie, who used her blog to launch a successful yoga business. Today's guests are Cassie and Shay, who also went through my program and ended up creating an incredible business in the process!

Cassie and Shay are best friends/business partners and founders of The Bucketlist Bombshells, which is an online educational community that teaches millennials how they can create a business that allows them to work remotely and travel the world. Their online courses teach everything from graphic design and website design to business tactics for freelancers. They've been featured in places like Forbes and Elite Daily and are currently based in beautiful Bali.

They had enrolled in my course after having a couple of unsuccessful (their word – not mine!) launches of their own online courses and they wanted to learn the tactics that can be used to have a successful launch. While I take no credit for their amazing success, you'll hear in this interview how they turned those early course launch disappointments into a thriving 6-figure business that allows them to live their purpose, every single day.
