The Art of Likability

I'm happy to welcome David Gardner from the Big Jump Podcast and ColorJar Brand Consulting and Design onto the show!

David also happens to be a 6'9" former professional basketball player.

This episode is all about reinvention and renewal. We must know how to reinvent ourselves too in a time when it's common for people to have 10 jobs over a lifetime (and that number is climbing)!

Come make the Big Jump with David Gardner and me on the latest, freshest episode of the Art of Likability!

I wanted to update you on what's been going down in my head and join you to take part in answering this important question "What am I creating?"

I want you to know I'm thinking about how to best serve you, the listener. So your feedback is super important. Please send me an email at [email protected] with your thoughts from this podcast.

Super important for the future of this programming.

You. Are. Awesome!

Today on the Art of Likability, I'm overjoyed to have minister Darryl Strawberry on the show. A former MLB All-Star and World Series Champion, but his career wasn't just glamour. He could step up to the plate against an 95 mph fastball, but taking on his addiction demons was something else entirely.

This is Darryl's story of his rebirth from supremely talented yet immature athlete to a grown man of God, spreading the good word on beating back addiction.

Remember: You Are Awesome!

Ever wish you had 500,000 Instagram followers, or dreaming that you were richer?

We tend to focus on what we lack rather than what we have.

The inherent value of what you have is immense.  In the latest episode of the Art of Likability, we realize that you're probably richer than you're letting on!

Remember: You Are Awesome!

Social media is always new and exciting.

Instagram, Twitter, etc give you so much optionality: there's the small chance that an A-lister could retweet you, or that an industry leader might share your content.

But there's an even better resource staring you in the face. In this episode, we discuss: Your Network.

Please let me know what you think of this episode and remember to like and subscribe!  This helps us to grow our audience and message.

In this episode of the Art of Likability, we talk about one question that helps you to connect with someone and get a little bit of their perspective!

"What's one takeaway you got from the experience?"

Here's one takeaway I got from a friend: a quick tip on what contributes to joint pain and how to avoid it!

How did I learn this? I eat my own cooking and used the question in this podcast!

Have yourself some of this cooking and remember: YOU ARE AWESOME!

Failure happens, and it's something we learn to deal with as we go up and down on the rollercoaster of life. If you listen to the Art of Likability, you're the kind of person who's already heard the idea that failures are teaching experiences.

We're not here to reiterate that idea. This episode of the Art of Likability focuses on the language you use with failure, specifically the one thing you should never say about failure.

Let's jump in, and remember: You Are Awesome!

"How did you get over your fears?"

This is one question I often get, in one form or another. Fear is always there. Most people's first reaction with fear is to control it, to deny its existence outright.

In this episode of the Art of Likability, we move beyond the first reaction to a more seasoned reaction with fear: working with it, instead of trying to wrestle with it.

Check out the seasoning in this "seasoned reaction" and pair that with YOUR AWESOMESAUCE!
