Happy Friday! How in the heck is it possible that this is the FIFTIETH episode of the podcast? I am so honored and happy, and have learned and so much and grown so much in its creation. I hope that you've grown some in listening or watching, too! Please share if you have! At time of writing, I now have 12 reviews, and I am overjoyed about it! Ok, enough reminiscing, it’s time for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 50 Fearless Fridays 25: Carol's Challenge!  If you missed Monday’s post, I interviewed Carol Hampshire, who CHOOSES to SWIM IN FREEZING WATER WITH SHARKS for FUN, and helps women get suitcases of money for a living (and no, not by robbing banks - I guess she is selective in her thrill seeking)! Intrigued yet? If so, definitely go back to Monday’s post and listen to this interview! As always, I asked her to issue a challenge for my listeners and readers, so that’s what today’s all about!

I always like to share my results from the previous weeks challenges, and I am nearly caught up! 

I am still working on Neda’s Challenge (announcement coming soon!), which is going to take me several weeks, but I think it is going to pay off big!

Here's an Instagram post for Christa’s challenge from two weeks ago! 

 

For last week's #boldmovesfearlessfridays challenge, Christa challenged listeners to explore a #bucketlist with other career or life path options. Here are a few I came up with that I'd like to explore: 1. Speaking in front of large crowds, possibly at conferences. 2. Hosting mastermind retreats. 3. Being an author of a book that helps people all around the world! What's on your life path exploration bucket list?

I am in shock that this is the 49th episode. This has been such an amazing journey so far, and I have absolutely loved learning from so many incredible people! The variety in guests on this show never ceases to amaze me. This week’s guest, for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 49: Carol Hampshire, has taken bold moves to the extreme by swimming in freezing cold shark infested water! When she's not doing that, she's helping women making suitcases full of money! I really hope you enjoy Bold Moves Podcast Episode 49: Carol Hampshire!

Happy Friday! It’s time for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 48 Fearless Fridays 24: Olivia's Challenge! If you missed Monday’s post, I interviewed Olivia Charlet, who left her job jet setting between London and Paris with lots of status and prestige with no backup plan, and through a series of adventures that included starting her own niche dating events company now mentors and coaches female entrepreneurs! Intrigued yet? If so, definitely go back to Monday’s post and listen to this interview! As always, I asked her to issue a challenge for my listeners and readers, so that’s what today’s all about!

Here's an Instagram post that combines Jaimie’s and Avery's challenges! 

 

Refugio was whispering secrets into my ear while I read last night! Reading was one of the previous #BoldMovesFearlessFridays challenges, and I finally got a pic, though not with the book I read for the challenge! There's another fun one coming tomorrow, too!

We are sneaking up on 50 episodes. Can you believe it?! The variety in guests on this show never ceases to amaze me. This week's guest, for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 47: Olivia Charlet, has done some serious bold moves. In fact, this may be the bold move of many peoples' dreams, if they feel like their job is sucking their souls dry! ! I really hope you enjoy Bold Moves Podcast Episode 47: Olivia Charlet!

Happy Friday! It’s time for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 46 Fearless Fridays 23: Christa's Challenge! If you missed Monday’s post, I interviewed arguably one of the most inspiring people so far, Christa Preston! She was watching tv one night and decided to buy a one-way ticket to Africa and ended up starting a non-profit! Intrigued yet? If so, definitely go back to Monday’s post and listen to this interview! As always, I asked her to issue a challenge for my listeners and readers, so that’s what today’s all about!

I always like to share my results from the previous weeks challenges, and I am making some headway! 

I am still working on Neda’s Challenge (announcement coming soon!), which is going to take me several weeks, but I think it is going to pay off big!

I completed Derrick’s challenge, having emailed five people last week and five this week, and am waiting for more responses! Here is the list of celebrities I’ve emailed – primarily to see if I can get them on my podcast! It is tough, because I don’t follow many celebrities, but instead try to do my own thing, so it’s really hard to think of people! 

Week One, with an update: 

1. Arnold Schwarzenegger – He was my childhood crush, and has an extremely inspiring story! I have listened to him a couple time on Tim Ferriss’ podcast, so I thought I’d try him to see if I can get him to jump on the podcast! 

2. Author Lindy West, per my future sister-in-law’s suggestion, to ask her to be on my show. 

3. Elizabeth Warren, because nevertheless, she persisted. 

4. Darren Hardy, because he made quick achievement of goals a habit and a system. 

5. Bo Eason, because I LOVE his story, and would love to have him on my podcast! 

For week two: 

6. Ellen DeGeneres, because I have adored her for years and would love to have a show like hers. 

7. Oprah Winfrey, see #6, plus she has a game called "Bold Moves," and I'd love to chat with her about how great minds think alike! 

8. Jon Acuff - I love his books and his sense of humor! His team responded really quickly, too... And it gives me motivation to grow my podcast even faster, so I can have him on next Fall when he is promoting his next book! Please share it out so that I can get him on - I promise, it will be worth your time! ;) 

9. Richard Branson - A thrill-seeking successful entrepreneur seems like a perfect fit! 

10. Christene Barberich - Because I feel like having a blogger who's done incredibly well would be inspiring, plus her career path has been really interesting! 

I finished Jaimie’s weeks ago, but I need to post a picture to Instagram and use the hashtag #BoldMovesFearlessFridays – you will see that that is going to be a pattern for me! 

I am finally done with Rosanne & Madeline Stuart’s challenge! The challenge and corresponding interview have renewed the importance of the necessary attention to stopping isolation, so I think it will likely become a habit! I definitely plan to go beyond the five! I think, though, that this one does not lend itself well to a photo, so I will bypass that part!

And for Maddy’s? Done! In fact, I used this as an opportunity to ask some of my past guests to leave me reviews on iTunes. I'd love it if you did the same!  Here are my most recent reviews! 

I gotta be honest, I laughed out loud when I read Hemad's name "Persian Zach Morris!" To date, his interview remains one of my favorites, so if you are new around here,

Well, Hello! Happy Presidents Day! This weekend was fantastic, and I plan to make a blog post about it, so stay tuned for it! This week's guest did a really bold move that I think you will enjoy! I was introduced to her via Rosanne Stuart, who was my first interview of 2017 - episode 31! I don't know that I have ever heard of something so great coming from watching TV, but while she was doing just that, she felt a calling to go to Africa and serve, which led to her starting her own amazing non-profit supporting kids, families, and communities on best helping kids with disabilities! Christa is making a huge difference in Uganda, and that difference is spreading quickly throughout the world! If you need some inspiration this Monday, I don't think you will be disappointed! I really hope you enjoy Bold Moves Podcast Episode 45: Christa Preston of EmbraceKulture!

Happy Friday! It's time for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 44 Fearless Fridays 22: Daniel's Challenge! If you missed Monday's post, I interviewed Daniel Packard, a former standup comedian turned "coach of love athletes." Intrigued yet? If so, definitely go back to Monday's post and listen to his interview! As always, I asked him to issue a challenge for my readers, so that's what today's all about!

I always like to share my results from the previous weeks challenges, and I am making some headway! 

I am still working on Neda’s Challenge (announcement coming soon!), which is going to take me several weeks, but I think it is going to pay off big!

I completed half of Derrick’s challenge, and am waiting for the responses! Here is the list of celebrities I've emailed - primarily to see if I can get them on my podcast! It is tough, because I don't follow many celebrities, but instead try to do my own thing, so it's really hard to think of people! 

1. Arnold Schwarzenegger - He was my childhood crush, and has an extremely inspiring story! I have listened to him a couple time on Tim Ferriss' podcast, so I thought I'd try him to see if I can get him to jump on the podcast!

3. Elizabeth Warren, because nevertheless, she persisted. 

4. Darren Hardy, because he made quick achievement of goals a habit and a system. 

5. Bo Eason, because I LOVE his story, and would love to have him on my podcast! 

I have finally finished Jaimie’s, but I need to post a picture to Instagram and use the hashtag #BoldMovesFearlessFridays – you will see that that is going to be a pattern for me! 

Now, I also owe only 40% of Rosanne & Madeline Stuart’s challenge, though not for lack of trying! The challenge and corresponding interview have renewed the importance of the necessary attention to stopping isolation, so I assure you – it will be on my mind and I will follow through when appropriate! I think it will likely become a habit, so I go beyond the five, once I have reasonable opportunities to move forward with it! I think, though, that this one does not lend itself well to a photo, so I will bypass that part!

And for Maddy’s? Well, at time of writing, I am 10% done with it! Hopefully by the time this posts, I will be done!  

I completed Caren’s, in the way I mentioned in my last Fearless Fridays post, but instead of calling the school where I used to teach, I decided to call my old Elementary School! 

As for Phil's, I've downloaded the info and confirmed my humanity (you'll know what the means when you click the link below), and done steps 1-3, so I am well on my way! 

Don’t forget – you need this to do the challenge, and the deadline is 2/26! Tag Phil & I on social media to let us know if you completed it! 

Now it's time to do Daniel's challenge. There are a couple options, so this could come in the form of a few different posts. I am excited to see them! 

As always, I would love to see what you are doing, especially with this one, because I feel like it is so needed right now! Don’t forget to show me what you do for Bold Moves Podcast Episode 44 Fearless Fridays 22: Daniel's Challenge with the hashtag #BoldMovesFearlessFridays on Instagram or twitter! I have gotten a little out of the habit of doing it, but I need to bring it back to life, and perhaps you can help me stay accountable to it!

Happy Monday! As I am sure you know (if you didn't, and you have a sweetheart, you might be in trouble!) that tomorrow is Valentine's Day. In honor of this celebration of love holiday, I have Daniel Packard chatting with me. He calls himself "a trainer of love athletes," so I feel like that makes him a perfect fit for the podcast! He has some pretty fascinating stories, too, so I really hope you enjoy Bold Moves Podcast Episode 43: Daniel Packard!

It's time for Bold Moves Podcast 42 Fearless Fridays 21: Phil's Challenge! If you haven't already, you should go back to Monday's episode and meet Phil Gerbyshak! He was an absolute blast to talk to, and I think his advice will help you not only enjoy your life more, but also improve your online presence and career opportunities. It's win-win-win!

I always like to share my results from the previous weeks challenges, and I am making some headway! 

I have finally begun Neda’s Challenge (announcement coming soon!) and still am working on making a list for Derrick’s challenge, and I have finally finished Jaimie’s, but I need to post a picture to Instagram and use the hashtag #BoldMovesFearlessFridays - you will see that that is going to be a pattern for me! 

Now, I also owe only 40% of Rosanne & Madeline Stuart’s challenge, though not for lack of trying!

I think it will likely become a habit, so I go beyond the five, once I have reasonable opportunities to move forward with it! I think, though, that this one does not lend itself well to a photo, so I will bypass that part!

As for Avery’s challenge, I have downloaded a book* (hers, actually, see here), and read it on the airplane coming back from LA last week. I checked out a book from next week's interviewee recommendation, and have requested the first of the Go-Giver series per Phil's recommendation*. I just need to post a PICTURE of me reading and use the #BoldMovesFearlessFridays hashtag so I can be a good example myself! 

And for Maddy’s? Well, at time of writing, I don’t have it done, but could point to makeup reviews on Thumbtack! Haha. Hopefully by the time this actually posts, however, I will have amassed a few testimonials! 

I still need to do Caren's, but I have a plan fleshed out for it! I am not really pleased with the whole Betsy DeVos situation, so I thought this would be a better thing to do than complaining (though I must admit, I have complained a bit)! So, if you were interested in doing Caren's challenge and wanted a fun idea, I recommend following in this lady's lead! 

I think I will actually call the school where I used to teach! 

As always, I would love to see what you are doing, especially with this one, because I feel like it is so needed right now! Don’t forget to show me what you do for Bold Moves Podcast 42 Fearless Fridays 21: Phil's Challenge with the hashtag #BoldMovesFearlessFridays on Instagram or twitter! I have gotten a little out of the habit of doing it, but I need to bring it back to life, and perhaps you can help me stay accountable to it!

This week, I chatted with Phil Gerbyshak, who is a social media, sales, and teach expert who specializes in LinkedIn! Listen on to Bold Moves Podcast Episode 41: Phil Gerbyshak and hear about how Phil has become an expert in making money by being himself and helping others, something I aspire to myself! 

I met Phil through Berni Xiong, who you may remember from a few episodes ago. She recommended him, and since she is so fantastic, I of course jumped at the opportunity to interview someone about whom she spoke so highly! 

How awesome is Phil's logo?
