Roll With The Punches

When you see the title Legless & Blind, I will forgive you for assuming I have a couple of rollicking piss-heads behind the mic with me...

But alas, the title is literal.

I have two of the most fun, quick-witted and inspiring legends I've met joining me for a candid banter about life sans 98% vision, two lower limbs, a number of fingers, toes and a little bit of nose.

They make up for all that and more with incredible substance and personality... I'm stalking them until they tell their friend that I'm their friend too (shhh, don't tell them, that would be awkward)

Enjoy.

Brandon Steiner is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur whom I adored shooting the breeze with today. 

Brandon is a sports marketer, the founder and former CEO of Steiner Sports now owned by Fanatics and is currently the founder and CEO of CollectibleXchange and The Steiner Agency. Combining his passion for business and sports he's winning the game of life AND business time and time again.  

We talk about business, life, entrepreneurship, what it takes and how to win at life.  

I love his values and philosophies and I took a lot out of this chat, I hope you legends do too.

Personally I don't much l love the term narcissist, as I think it tends to get bandied around a bit too much as a blanket term... However, today we are having a banter about the undesirable creatures with someone who is somewhat of a expert when it comes to handling toxic personalities.
Most of us either know someone or are someone who has had dealings with a person who is somewhat narcissistic and with that being the case we are well aware of the emotional turmoil that can be unleashed as a result.  My guest today has found herself helping people across the globe when it comes to negotiations and disputes, whether it be personal/romantic relationships, family or business.
Rebecca Zung is one of the Top 1% of attorneys in the U.S., having been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a "Best Lawyer in America". Rebecca is the author of the bestselling books, Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win (foreword by Robert Shapiro) and Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom, and today she is unpacking some of her wisdom.

I love these episodes where I get to riff with my good pal Harps about... well, half the time we haven't a clue where it might go.

Today we talk about some of the lessons learned from diving head first into unchartered territories of a business, we talk about self-awareness and drawing a line between that and self-loathing.  Is there a time we should quit?  And if so, when?  Vicarious trauma, internal and external wealth or lack thereof and a few other random yet insightful tales.

Enjoy!

Imagine getting the opportunity of a lifetime to perform your craft on America's Got Talent.  A world of opportunity... skills you've honed for years about to be witness by millions.

And within moments... you've basically turned the entire audience and judging panel against you. Like thousands of faces expressing complete and utter disdain for you and your act. 

When I watched Alex Hooper's 2018 audition for America's Got Talent I personally felt naked and exposed with empathy for what that harrowing experience must have felt like. (To be honest I also kind of wondered what sort of a person Alex was and if perhaps he was just a bit of an asshole at heart) Turns out he is not.  I love him and found him to be a deep thinking, empathic and insightful human and I'm pleased my curiosity led me to reaching out to ask him in person... in front of you guys!

Enjoy... and check out his YouTube 2018 audition like the other 4 million humans have!

You know what I love... Real talk with real people who aren't afraid to share a tale or two about their life. 

Tracy Bartram is one such human and it sure was a pleasure to have a banter with her on today's show. A straight shooter and an open book, Tracy shares some of her trials and tribulations throughout life.  From juggling a high profile career in radio and television whilst simultaneously managing alcohol & drug addiction and the repercussions of growing up amidst the trauma and dysfunction of an alcoholic family.

Numerology, inner-child work, 12 step programs, laughter, creativity & healing... it's a life long process and we're all doing the work.

Tracy took her mental health 'Quaddie' of adult ADHD, depression, anxiety and addiction, flipped it the bird and came out on top, laughing... Dunno about you but I'm sure looking forward to seeing Tracy's 'Laughaholics' podcast hit the airwaves soon.

See what I did there...  No doubt that I love a witty pun!  

Yemi Penn is undoubtedly a remarkable woman.  I knew moments into this chat that she was going to be sharing some special stuff.

Yemi is a British born Nigerian residing in Sydney Australia.  An engineer, an entrepreneur, a mindset coach, a trauma thought-leader, an author and a mini series documentary producer.

There were SO many avenues we could have taken when speaking to Yemi on this episode... building business, personal transformation, healing trauma and exploring culture to name a few.  As usual, I cover as much as I can squeeze out of an hour of conversation and we touch on most of these things.

If you feel at times like you didn't get the memo on this thing called life or you don't like that damn memo...  you're going to love this ep.

Half podcast, half therapy at times as we share and explore ideas and experiences.  Yet another podcasting sister in my RWTP family that's for sure!

David Razowsky is a effervescent ball of personality AND just so happens to be one of the top Improv Coaches in the world.  If you're anything like me you'll be googling 'what the hell is improv'.  It's acting..  improvisation (obviously).

We talk about like on and off the stage, we talk about the twists and turns of life and what whisks us away and lands us where we land.  I ended up loving the idea of improv acting and see it as an insightful platform from which to view ones self, much like the boxing ring was for me.

Dave teaches me what makes a good improv performer, how many Laura's he dated and how be knows me (which happed to be a story all the way from 1960's)

Enjoy!

After 26 years as a finance broker Tom threw in the towel on harbouring stress, anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia and wraps his arms (or mind) around meditation. He’s now a well respected meditation teacher, a coach, speaker, author of 6 books and founder of the app The Portal as you will hear today.
Tom pulls no punches when it comes to the power of meditation and he sure nudged me to get real with my meditation efforts. Another guru pointing me in the right direction in this wild ride that is the life I live.
