SEASON FINALE. Today's call to action: LISTEN. Not to me. Today, I'm passing the microphone to my best friend of 15+ years, my big sister, my SOUL sister, Danni Starr. She's an author, advocate, activist, a die-hard lover of Prince and Fred Rogers and a badass mama of two. She's also unapologetically, wholeheartedly and proactively anti-racist. I learn something new from her every single time we speak.

Danni loves herself unconditionally today, but it wasn't always that way.. You'll hear her read her essay "#BlackGirlMagic" from her 2017 book, Empathy and Eyebrows. She talks about the challenges against her worth, internal oppression and self-hate from growing up in a world that taught her to dislike herself. She talks about #BlackLivesMatter and white privilege. 

Listen closely.

I'm sharing the first impression "big picture" you NEED to understand and the FIVE elements every social media profile MUST have in this quick solo podcast. It doesn't matter if you're on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook or TikTok, each tip will somehow apply to your online brand (perhaps even the one you show up as in real life).

Raise your hand if you've made at least one fall-on-your-face mistake in quarantine? (Both hands raised over here.) Don't let the screwup keep you from continuing to show up. Don't wait for your people to reach out to you when you can very well reach out to them too and first. 

Today we're talking about how to keep fire-fighting through this on-going struggle. (Spoiler alert: As a leader, you're probably gonna mess up and misstep, probably more than once, if you haven't yet.) As it turns out, some of us, even the best of us, aren't as good at adapting to change as we thought. Also, it's exhausting.

Our brilliant guest Charles Eide, a powerhouse of LIVE events and production, opens up about some of the difficult moments when he was freaking out and even *gasp* wrong, but also how he managed to reset the foundation of his leadership and take a firm grasp on his business to find growth and grace during a time when his industry was hit the hardest. 

Charles Eide is the CEO of EideCom, an events and media production company known for creating one-of-a-kind experiences for audiences everywhere.

We'd hoped to be able to host our first-ever THOUGHT LEADERSHIP PANEL at our Minneapolis office... Obviously, we couldn't make that happen, given everything going on in the world.

But, in some ways, that worked in our favor, giving us the chance to connect with leaders (who also happen to be MB clients) from all over the country and in a super casual setting.

Minnesota's Kris Lindahl of Kris Lindahl Real Estate, Tennessee's Gary Ashton of The Ashton Real Estate Group of REMAX Advantage and Florida's DJ Della Salla of the DJ and Lindsey "Move to 904" Real Estate Team all showed up to share personal stories, practical advice and mindset-moving tips.

These guys are not only masters of real estate, but MASTERS OF LEADERSHIP (the way it should be). While many business leaders have disappeared or feel stuck in paralysis, Kris, Gary and DJ are putting themselves out there in their communities, making MAJOR moves for their people and leaning on each other for support.

Perhaps it's time you start scaling your business from WITHIN. As doers, we're programmed to believe that the solution is rooted in external achievement, when sometimes the best solve is some reprogramming internally. And what more perfect timing than when much of our world is on pause and we're forced to practice some form of isolation.

Meredith Neumann has the background of a licensed marriage and family therapist, but now, as the Founder of Scaling Within, she's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and business leaders identify and overcome some of life and work's biggest barriers, access your mind's toolbox and turn challenges into opportunities for more success. She brings a deep understanding of brain neurology, individual wiring and SUPER practical tools that you'll want to write down and begin practicing right away.

Have you listened to your body lately? We're so concerned about what's happening outside of our bodies, especially with rising concerns about COVID-19 and social distancing, yet so many of us aren't even giving a second thought about what we're putting INSIDE our bodies -- especially when food can very much be something we do have control over in this new world of uncertainty.

On this episode of the Call to Action podcast, I share my own experience with the autoimmune disease that forever shifted my mindset around food from one of beauty and "thinness" to one of energy and healing. I sit down with my friend Chef Jason Wrobel, who went from the Grill Master at Wendy's to a plant-based vegan wellness mogul, and offers tangible ways for how you can begin strengthening your health, both physically and even emotionally and spiritually, by making more mindful decisions. 

Chef Jason Wrobel is a coach, speaker, podcaster, and the author of cookbook and lifestyle guide, Eaternity. As the first plant-based chef with a primetime television series, his groundbreaking show “How to Live to 100” taught millions of people how to prepare delicious, organic, healthy meals at home. A dedicated practitioner of yoga, pilates, weight training and meditation for over a decade, he infuses his events, videos and teachings with a relentless drive to grow and the loving spirit that gets you there.
