Sanyika “the Firestarter” Street helps men build profitable service-based businesses. He’s also a keynote speaker and the host of Going All-In, A Podcast for Men. While he was trying to find his voice, Sanyika decided to stop speaking and start listening, and that’s when everything changed. The most powerful thing he began to hear was what was going on beneath the surface, especially the narratives and stories men tell themselves. Many people were trying to build successful businesses on the surface level, but under the surface, there was a great deal of what Sanyika refers to as the three “Uns”: feeling unlovable, unworthy, and misunderstood.

Sanyika and I talk about standing firmly in the role God calls them into and what men can do to stop sending that call to voicemail. Because of the culture we live in, many of us would rather be informed than transformed. We discuss how our childhood experiences impact us, and Sanyika shares his own stories about navigating core wounds. Our conversation also includes how women can get closer to the men in their lives through vulnerability, parenting your parents, being a chain breaker, and how we can grow through discomfort.

What’s Inside:

• Why men need to stop sending God’s call to voicemail.
• How to navigate core wounds and transmute the energy.
• How to grow through discomfort.

Shaahin Cheyene is the CEO and chairman of a brain nutrition startup called Accelerated Intelligence. He’s also the president and founder of Podcast Cola, an award-winning entrepreneur, writer, filmmaker, and public speaker. We kick off our discussion with why Shaahin loves Bob Marley and how music brings people from all walks of life together. We also talk about Shaahin’s journey as a serial entrepreneur, which began at a very young age. He shares insights into how hunger was a main driver of his success and why he believes that kind of hunger can’t be taught. 

Shaahin talks about why failure isn’t a bad thing and shares lessons he learned through practicing jiu jitsu. As an entrepreneur, you can’t always go for the win right away.

Shaahin shares how he helps people create Amazon businesses and the differences between those who succeed and those who don’t. We talk about Shaahin’s book Billion, his struggles with impostor syndrome, and how he built his Herbal Ecstasy empire. Shaahin also talks about his non-negotiables in his routines, the people he meets, and how he deals with relationships.

In this follow up conversation with author and empowerment strategist JJ Flizanes, we continue our dialogue around living out our purpose and owning our power. JJ and I start by discussing a quote from author Marianne Williamson that she included in her book. The quote speaks to our deepest fears of being powerful beyond measure. Playing small puts ourselves and others at a disadvantage because when we shine, we give permission for others to do so as well. Being who you are is exactly who you need to be, and JJ touches on how this authenticity is essential for leadership.  

Sometimes trauma impacts a person’s ability to live out their purpose. JJ and I discuss her perspectives on grieving, victim mentality, and lessons learned through life experiences. JJ believes those who have been impacted by hardships and trauma can use the wisdom they have gained to help others. She also touches on the power of forgiveness and keeping your heart open. JJ and I also talk about trying on different belief systems, the transformational power of changing your perspective, and how coaches and managers can “be on purpose.”
 

What’s Inside:

• JJ’s views on forgiveness and how we choose our life lessons.
• How changing your perspective can transform your life.
• Tips for coaches and professionals on how to “be on purpose”.

Zach Hoffman is an award-winning author, transformation coach, and founder of an organization called SWALeadership. My conversation with Zach dives into servant leadership and how his life experiences lead him to make that a focus. As an American football player in Europe, Zach was looked up to by many, especially youth. He realized that sports were his platform to reach people, not his purpose. Zach believes that if you want to earn the respect of others and have them feel you as a person, you have to make it about them, not you. We also talk about emotional intelligence and why it’s a key component of leadership. Being genuine and vulnerable goes a long way in terms of inspiring others and being a good mentor.

When Zach set out to write his book, he originally intended for his organization name to stand for Swiss Army Leadership, however he changed his mind while going through the publishing process. Due to copywriting issues, he was looking for another name that would fit both his core message and his journey as a former athlete. He then came up with Sensible Worldwide Adaptable Leadership. Zach learned that effective leadership requires you to embrace globalization and intercultural competence. Being able to adjust like a Swiss Army knife to your environment and an ever-changing world is critical for modern day leaders.

What’s Inside:

• The importance of servant leadership and what it means. 
• Why street smarts and book smarts go hand in hand in effective leadership.
• Why it’s important to get into the trenches with your clients as a coach.
• How to deal with ageism in coaching and business.
• The difference between real and fraudulent leadership.

Julie Hruska is a high-performance strategist and a certified performance coach. She also has a master’s degree and is the owner of the company Powerful Leaders. Julie specializes in guiding people into a life they love through the development of high-performance habits in the areas of career, relationships, health, and finances. Julie also works closely with companies and corporations to develop high-performance cultures where employees are motivated and engaged. Julie and I discuss boundaries and why they’re so important in our personal and professional lives and Julie shares how her own journey shaped her path.

Julie grew up with a strict mother who often broke her spirit, both physically and emotionally. This created an energy of fear that made her doubt her worth and have poor boundaries with others. She had an awakening in her early thirties that made her realize she was living a life that wasn’t hers. Julie also realized that much of what she went through when she was younger was due to a lack of boundaries. Her faith is what ultimately pulled her through some tough life changes and helped her keep going down the path even when she couldn’t fully see it. Establishing strong boundaries is an ongoing journey in life, and Julie shares five ways to make sure your boundaries are bulletproof.

How Julie’s journey shaped who she is today.

In this episode you will hear:

• How Julie’s journey shaped who she is today.
• Julie’s awakening and how she broke generational cycles within her own family.
• The importance of boundaries and how to set them.

In Part One of this conversation with Joy Donnell, we went deep. Joy’s perspective truly helps people think beyond the surface level, which continues here in Part Two. In her book, “Beyond Brand”, Joy discusses changing narratives with the use of media. Here, she shares the moments that led to her getting to into media. Joy is dedicated to doing things differently while honoring her lineage. Questioning the origins of stories is a big theme within Joy’s book. After hitting a physical wall of burnout from overworking, Joy was forced to take a time out and question her own journey and purpose. She realized then that she wanted to live a creative life and tap into it as part of her self-care and healing.

When we begin with the end in mind, we can tap into what’s underneath so many of the stories and narratives we’re fed. If you’re a storyteller, it’s your job to uncover what’s beneath the surface. Self-compassion is the key when honoring your needs to rest and take care of yourself. Early in her career, Joy didn’t have the self-compassion she has today and didn’t honor her body and its needs. She shares her routines and how she makes sure it’s a number one priority.
 

What’s Inside:

• How Joy decided to use media to make an impact.
• Joy’s wake up call to honoring her purpose and creativity.
• How Joy balances self-care and rest with hustling and working
