What if negotiation wasn't about going to combat or coming out the winner? What if, instead, it was about communication, clarity, confidence, and a little creativity?

In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Patrick Griffin, fractional CFO, negotiation expert, and the most charming finance guy you'll ever meet, to reframe how we think about negotiation. From asking for a raise to simply asking for what you need, Patrick and I talk about the hard truth behind why most of us don't get what we want: we never ask.

This conversation explores how to negotiate like a human (not a robot), why hearing "no" is actually a win, and how curiosity and a genuine smile can alter the outcome.

Whether you're chasing 223 yeses or just trying to stop settling, this one's for you!

Whether you're a leader, coach, or employee who wants to feel more fulfilled at work, Renee's insights will help you bring happiness back to the workplace.

Regardless of your gender, we've all had that moment in life...the one where we see what we think is a shining example of who we want to be. THAT GUY. You know, the one who walks into a room with quiet confidence, shows up with discipline, and somehow makes it all look easy. But what if becoming "that guy" wasn't about hype, hustle, or perfection? In this episode of No More Mondays, I talk with DJ Logory, coach, mental fitness mentor, and creator of the Be That Guy program, where he's helping young men build the habits, mindset, and emotional intelligence it takes to become their best self. From redefining confidence and courage to challenging our addiction to "mental junk food," DJ shares tools that work, whether you're 19 and figuring it out or 39 and starting over.

What if being unforgettable didn't mean being flashy, loud, or "on" all the time? In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Phil Mershon, author, speaker, musician, and creator of Unforgettable Experiences, to explore how small, intentional moments can leave the biggest mark. From saxophone solos to standout events, Phil shares how authentic connection, not performance, is the real key to making an impact that lasts. Whether you're a coach, solopreneur, or leader, this episode will help you design mini-experiences that people remember by showing up as the kind of person who's impossible to forget (no spotlight required)...just by being you!

What makes a great leader? According to Damon Lembi, it's not about being born for the role, or even being "made" for it. It's about staying in the making, showing up with curiosity, and putting in the reps to grow. In this episode of No More Mondays, Damon, CEO of Learnit, leadership speaker, and former D1 baseball player, and I explore how a Learn-It-All mindset (not a Know-It-All one) is the real secret to navigating leadership, self-doubt, and success in today's world. We talk sports, business, and the underrated skills modern leaders need to thrive. If you've ever wondered how to stay coachable, lead with confidence, or beat imposter syndrome, this conversation is your playbook.

🔥 What if your next big move didn't require burning it all down?

In this episode of No More Mondays, I chat with Brittany Rogars, speaker, founder, and unapologetic advocate for ambitious women (who might be the sparkly, pink disco-ball to my earthy, dirt-covered crunch). 🪩

From escaping survival mode to building a multi–six–figure consulting firm, Brittany shares how authenticity became her greatest asset, and how small, intentional shifts can create massive change.

If you're stuck, seeking clarity, or scared your next chapter needs to be perfect, this one's for you.

In this episode of No More Mondays, real estate investor and serial entrepreneur Navid Moosa proves you don't need perfect timing, a massive bankroll, or anyone's permission to build the life you want.

From closing $1 billion+ in real estate deals to growing a 300+ door rental portfolio—plus running taco trucks and a car dealership—Navid's journey is a masterclass in starting where you are and making bold moves with what's already in your hands.

You'll learn:

• How to build confidence under constraints

• Why bold moves don't require external validation

• What "freedom" really means (and why it's not just money)
