Who:  Josh Hinds - Author of It’s Your Life.  Live Big and founder of GetMotivation.com

What We Talked About:  How to overcome anything.  Josh was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome at age eight.  Tourette’s Syndrome is characterized by vocal, facial, and physical tics.  How did someone with Tourette’s go on to become a top motivational speaker.  Josh shared how using “work-arounds” can help you get past your own blocks and how you can overcome anything and achieve success.  His ideas on perfect timing will surprise you.

Why I Like Josh:  Josh embodies the “I can do it” spirit and not in a “rah rah” way.  He is quietly determined to reach his goals no matter what it takes.  He is continually stretching himself and finding ways to live bigger.  This guy is the true posterchild for the go-getter, achiever who is happy where he is and ready for more.

Great Line:   This new idea didn’t come to me, just so I could be disappointed.  (It must be meant to come to fruition.)

Who:  Dana Wilde - Author of Train Your Brain and Host of The Mind Aware Show

What This Show is About:  This week, Dana grabs from the mailbag.  In this episode, someone writes in and asks, “How do I get over my painful divorce?’”   Dana Wilde Rants!  And she also explains WHY we think you should get INTO your comfort zone and not out of it.  After so many requests for an “ask Dana” episode, we’ve decided to offer this as a regular feature.  Dana takes questions from our audience members and answers those questions by helping the listener “tell a new story.”  Each of us has a Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our brain that spends all day every day listening to what we’re thinking about and what we’re talking about. Next the RAS notices in the outside world the situations that match those thoughts and stories.  This is why if you want to change your outside world, you have to start with the inside story.
