"One of the bigger things for myself is more or less the imposter syndrome Where it's a difficult thing to overcome, But then once you're in these groups, We're all there, We're all thinking the same thing. But also opening myself up to other opportunities that are out there outside of what I do from a day-to-day thing, working with other entrepreneurs or helping them out."

Welcome back to Million Dollar Relationship Podcast with Kevin Thompson. Today we are joined by Garrett Gunderson. Garrett shares his wonderful relationship with people especially with Patrick Gentempo as he shared how Patrick changed the course of his life.

Most people know Garrett as the long-haired, bearded money guy. The financial disruptor. The author. The speaker. The guy who teaches people about the money myths that rob them of their financial future. That hasn't changed. His mission remains. But one thing has changed. His approach.

A few years ago, he leaned into a passion of his and took to the stage at a local comedy club to perform a set about what he knew most – money. He noticed something interesting – he was actually somewhat funny (his wife's exact words). But more importantly, it struck a chord with the crowd. He'd heard that we remember things best when we are either scared or when we laugh. So Garrett figured, rather than scaring people into listening to him – tempting as it was – he'd help them laugh into a new perspective on money. Comedy is an effective tool to help us be present and a quick way to connect. He dedicated himself to the craft. he studied, rehearsed, and performed. And now, he's bringing it to the world.

[00:00 - 08:59] Garrett Gunderson Shares How His Transition From Finance to Comedy Has Shifted Things for Him

[09:00 - 15:41] Inspiring Moments and How he Get started with Comedy

• Garrett shares that the conversations he has when he leaves the stage are 10 times more conversations. And people remember the experience and how they felt.
• Garrett explains that when he is on stage he is in a moment of flow with his audience, where a thought from his head creates a spontaneous reaction from them where they're now totally present.
• He points out that people are not worried about what happened yesterday. They're not thinking about the future just at the moment they're totally present and connected, which is one of the most amazing gifts that human beings can have

[15:41 - 23:06] Garrett Gunderson Shares How Patrick Gentempo Has Impacted His Life

• Patrick and Garrett met in 2008 and their relationship has had a significant impact on both of their lives.
• Patrick has helped Garrett get clients, learn new skills, and become more successful.

Welcome Back to Million Dollar Relationship! Our guest today is Blake Schofield

Blake spent years telling herself she should "just be happy" or "Suck it up" because she was successful & had a comfortable lifestyle. She worried that making a change would be risky or selfish. Compromising out of fear or not knowing if the change she was seeking would actually make her happy or what the future would be. She came home drained at the end of the day, too tired to really be present with her family because she was thinking about everything she hadn't gotten to yet or the emails & projects waiting for her. She spent years telling herself she should be happy, trying to convince herself that she made a great income, was successful, & THAT WAS ENOUGH. But deep down, she knew it wasn't.

Blake's journey has led her to discover that coaching is the solution for helping professionals find fulfillment in their careers. So Blake has always had a love for business and leadership. When she was 10 years old, she read about successful entrepreneurs and how they built their businesses. This planted the seed for what would become her passion in life - helping other people achieve their dreams.

Key Highlights:

[00:00 - 09:02] Opening Segment

• Blake Schofield is a mom of three kids, a former retail executive, and CEO of the bridge to fulfillment.
• Blake transitioned careers three times before finding success as an entrepreneur.
• Blake started her own business five years ago after leaving corporate America.

[09:02 - 20:47] How This Person Changed the Course of Your Life

• Blake had a significant impact on other people's lives, including changing the course of their businesses
• She credits this to a relationship he stepped into with Nick Peterson, which was full of ambiguity and risk
• Despite her trepidation, Blake decided to go for it and is now grateful for the opportunity."
