The Daily Helping

Jesse Todisco, better known as Jesse Tee, is the founder of 46 & 2 Wealth Partners and his business ethos is rooted in showing others how to become free and create happy wealth. He’s also the host of The Jesse Tee Show, a mindset-focused podcast that teaches anyone hunting greatness in business, health, wellness, and relationships the secrets to success.

Jesse grew up in a life filled with adversity—food scarcity, a narcissistic mom, a drug-addict father, and an overall lack of money—he learned to hustle early on in life. Through this upbringing of scarcity, he wanted to create prosperity. He managed to do that, all without sacrificing his values.

If you’re trying to get started creating a new life for yourself you need three things:

• Love
• Gratitude
• Presence

We’re not taught to love ourselves or to show love for ourselves, and self-love is a requirement for safety. And if you can be grateful for something every day and lean into it as a practice, it will change your life. Even if it doesn’t feel like you have anything to be grateful for, you’re here today, and that can be a great place to start. And lastly, being present in the moment. It reduces anxiety and allows you to experience life as it’s happening.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Love yourself like your life depends on it. If you knew that you could live the life that you want to live, impact other people, be impacted by other people, have a beautiful journey on this earth, and live life fully, just by being powerfully present, grateful, and loving yourself, that’s the magic.”

Joanne Pasternack is a dynamic and visionary philanthropic impact strategist who over the past two decades has galvanized community engagement with internationally-recognized brands including the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers, City of Mountainview, and the Special Olympics. As the President and Chief Impact Officer of Oliver+Rose, she works with professional athletes, legends, entertainers, philanthropists, corporate executives, and high-net-worth individuals who amplify their impact to inspire change.

After a few years in city government, where Joanne saw the connective power of community engagement, she took an opportunity to join the San Francisco 49ers where she built out their community relations department. She realized there’s no better place or platform to make a difference than sports.

One thing that Joanne stresses to athletes—as well as everyone else—is that you are a role model whether you want to be or not. People are watching what you are doing, and they will replicate what you are doing. That’s a tremendous amount of power to wield, and we all need to be willing to wield it responsibly.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“When I was growing up, the thing that I hated most about myself is the exact thing that makes me memorable, unique, and stand out in a crowd. And it’s so interesting because as a middle school girl you’re so self-conscious. You walk around going like I don’t look like everybody, I don’t sound like everybody, there’s something different about me. And when you lean into that, that’s exactly the thing that will make you who you’re meant to be.”

Jason Marc Campbell is the author of Selling with Love: Earn with Integrity and Expand Your Impact. He’s on a mission to inspire small business owners with sales reluctance to embrace it as a beautiful activity that transforms lives. As the host of the Selling With Love podcast he’s interviewed over 300 people and reached millions in the process. His mission is all about teaching companies to care more.

When Jason thought about the contributions he wanted to make in the world, one that seemed both impactful and possible was to help create a world where people aren’t taken advantage of by marketers and snake oil salesmen. But we can’t just get rid of sales altogether—whether you like it or not, you’re going to find yourself in the sales process throughout your life.

If you’re looking to sell a product, you can’t start with a love of the idea. So many people fall in love with their product that they lose sight of what they’re hoping the product actually does. Jason Marc Campbell describes the five loves, in order:

• Love your impact
• Love your client
• Love the product
• Love the process of selling
• Love the self

Some people love the process of selling but they don’t care about anything else—those are the sleazy salesmen that make your skin crawl when you think about selling. When you’re selling, you can show up with love or you can show up with fear.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Be more caring about how you buy and how you expect to be treated when you buy. Make decisions and ask questions in a purchase process, especially if it’s a big purchase. If a sales person comes to you, try to see how you can use the model I teach about sales on how to buy. Get an understanding of things like ‘Why are you in sales? Why do you think this company is the best thing? What difference do you think it makes in my life? How much do you understand me and my needs? What is the product? Is it the best in the marketplace? Would you refer it to your friends and family?’ Can we be a bit more leveled up and experienced in the way that we buy, so that the market responds and the companies will start to realize that ‘Hey, we need to change the way we do our culture in sales to demand more to a better client.’ And that way we’re going to see a lot less douchebag practices and marketing practices be actually succeeding.”

Virginia Salas Kastilio is a New Earth ecosystems builder, blockchain advisor, and serial entrepreneur who was named one of Inc. Magazine’s “Top 27 Women to Change the World.” She’s also an internationally-acclaimed speaker, marketer, activist, the founder of Humans I Trust and the co-founder of The Human Trust Foundation. She’s a crypto and NFT innovator who believes in using the blockchain for good.

Virginia was massively successful while working for Apple and later Oracle, which is where she had her entrepreneurial awakening. Before launching another product into the world, though, she spent a year traveling the world and researching happiness to find out what we really needed. Through her research, she learned:

• The key to happiness is gratitude.
• Our thoughts and our mindset create our life.
• We are deeply disconnected and it is robbing us of happiness.

Knowing how important trust is to our overall happiness, Virginia is building what she calls “the trust ecosystem.” It is a global ecosystem of nonprofit organizations and businesses that are coming together to build a better Earth and have regeneration built into their business models.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Really allow yourself to tune into your alignment. No matter where you currently are at your level of success, if you’ve had billion-dollar exits, if you’re just starting out, if you just bought a new website that you’re excited about, just really allowing yourself to orientate to what is my biggest “yes” and what is the life that I want to live, what does my every day want to be and is this really in alignment with my highest calling and what I truly desire and love, or does this feel like it’s going to be profitable or other people said that this is a good business model? So at any time we can reset and realign and just trust yourself in that alignment that, when you do focus on what you really and truly care about, it’s just going to fall into place so effortlessly.”

Megan Reuwen is a seasoned entrepreneur who has built and led a team of women that have achieved over $13 million in annual sales. She’s been a top earner, top sales leader, and top recruiter in the direct sales industry, and has mentored and coached individuals to work from home and achieve six-figure incomes.

Megan is a mother of four, with three of her children being special needs or medically complex. Fifteen years age Megan was a hair stylist. She chose to run a salon out of her home in order to be present for her son, and that led to her second career of coaching women to work from home.

One of Megan’s superpowers is helping people see who they are clearly so they can apply their gifts and see success. When you know what your strengths are and lean into them, your weaknesses become less important because they tend to improve in time. If you don’t know what your gifts are, you can start by taking personality tests like the Enneagram or the StrengthsFinder test, which will give you verbiage to explain who you are. You can also tap into who you are when you explore and define what your values are.

Ken Kladouris is an esteemed and well-known wealth advisor and a leader internationally known in the self-mastery movement. He recently developed a system—Stillness to Success—to help people who are truly ready to make changes in their lives cut the noise, find their stillness, and create the success they want.

He reached a point in his life where he achieved everything he thought he’d wanted in life but was feeling completely unfulfilled. Then suddenly while on vacation, Ken had a moment of pureness where all of his beliefs of what he could achieve washed away, and he realized that he could accomplish so much more. It was the stillness that woke him up. Once he returned from vacation to the real world, he sought out how to return to that place of stillness on demand.

To start tuning out the noise, you can change your relationship with the way that you hear and interpret them. Most of what you believe you have to do is because of a conversation that’s occurring in your head—and meditation allows you to eavesdrop on that conversation.

If you’re struggling to get into meditation, start first with just practicing focused and present attention. Whether you’re going for a walk or doing dishes, the act of bringing your attention to the present moment will allow you to start building up mental fortitude and push out unwanted noise.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“I believe, no matter your circumstance or what you’re going through, if you find your stillness you can change your life for the better. And I truly think that, at the end of the day, that’s what it is. Just find your stillness and everything else will work out.”

Dr. Bill Dorfman is a celebrity cosmetic dentist, which sounds odd, but he’s had an unparalleled career when it comes to the practice of dentistry. He’s transformed the smiles of celebrities such as Katy Perry, Usher, Anthony Hopkins, Fergie, Hugh Jackman, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Longoria, and more. He’s been featured regularly on Extreme Makeover and The Doctors, as well as appearing on Larry King, Oprah, Access Hollywood, E!, Extra, and Entertainment Tonight.

At three years old, a young Bill fell and knocked out all of his baby teeth. It was visiting their family dentist and learning what they had to do to fix him up that made him want to become a dentist. Most kids probably would’ve been traumatized by the whole event, but it left him fascinated and wanting to fix people the same way.

In addition to his dentistry practice and TV appearances, Dr. Dorfman does a number of things—including running the Leadership Excellence Accelerating Potential (LEAP) Foundation. The LEAP foundation is a foundation that focuses on guiding youth onto the right path in life, whether that be in academic, professional, or personal endeavors. In working with so many kids and mentors, Dr. Dorfman has learned two important lessons: One, that one of the best ways to find success is to look at what’s working for others and do it better. And two, that there’s no real “secret” to success that doesn’t involve working hard.

“I grew up with eight grandparents—that’s a whole different story. And one of my grandparents, my Grandma Dorthy, was the sweetest, sweetest thing. And I could never figure out what her religion was, cause we have a lot of them floating around. And so one day I just asked her, and she said ‘Dahling, it’s just three words: just be kind.’ And that’s it. If everybody in the world would just follow Grandma Dorthy’s religion, we would live in such a beautiful world.”

Matthew Dicks is a best-selling novelist, nationally recognized storyteller, and the author of Someday is Today as well as nine other books. He’s also an award-winning elementary school teacher. He teaches storytelling and communication at universities, corporate workshops, organizations, and within communities. He’s won multiple Moth GrandSLAM story competitions and, together with his wife, created the organization Speak Up to help others share their stories.

After talks, Matthew would always get people asking him how he does everything that he does. Invariably, he doesn’t have time to answer that question to the level of detail it deserves—how he constructed his life to get everything that he wants to accomplish done while also being the kind of person he wants to be in all areas of life. Rather than answering that question during a talk, he decided to answer it in a book, Someday is Today.

When people make decisions, they are either only thinking of the moment they are in and not future ramifications, or, even worse, not consciously making a decision at all. And this results in people not ultimately achieving the dreams and results they desire. Matthew's theory, when making decisions, is not to rely on what he wants to do in that moment, but on what his future self would have wanted him to have done.

If you’re looking to make “someday” today, here are some tips Matthew has for making the most of the time you have. First, don’t assume you need large chunks of time to achieve your goals. You can write a book one sentence at a time, you don’t need an hour of time sitting at Starbucks. And second, take a look at your sleep habits. It’s important to get enough sleep, but how much of your sleep is actually sleep? Does it take you an hour to wind down and fall asleep? Do you hit snooze or stay in bed for 30 minutes after you wake up? Dialing in your sleep habits and getting good, restful sleep will help you feel better throughout the day and rescue so much unused time.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“People need to afford themselves the right to think about themselves. I think we spend an enormous amount of time in our lives thinking about our spouses and partners and children and colleagues and customers and parents and neighbors. Most of us really spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about other people and we almost never think of ourselves. Thinking of yourself in terms of, sit down on the couch and ask yourself: ‘Who am I? How did I end up here? Where am I going? How am I feeling? What is the thing that I want to say to people tomorrow?’ I don’t think we do that very often. And so I’m always telling people, spend ten minutes every single day, tell your children to go outside, tell your partner to go sit in the car, tell your cats to be gone, and just sit down and ask yourself ‘Who am I and what am I doing and where do I want to go and what do I want to say next to someone I love?’ I think that when we do that we find stories that we don’t know we have, stories that have been hiding, and we start to see patterns in our lives that we didn’t know existed, we can take credit for things that we’ve been ignoring, we can see problems that we have that perhaps we haven’t noticed, all of those things. I think if we all spent a little more time being a little more self-centered, frankly, just a little bit, like in a positive way, think we would lead better lives and I think we would head in directions that make us happier.”

He’s developed new software languages, online marketplaces, new authentication systems, and tracked criminals and terrorists on the dark web—and that only scratches the surface of the many accomplishments he’s had over his career.

He came to find that there are several skills beyond the ones specific to your job that you need to master in order to have a successful career. Some of those skills include:

• Leadership
• Networking
• Negotiating
• Communication
• Ethics
• Clear direction
• Working effectively

Whether you are working at a company at the top or bottom of the ladder, or whether you’re an entrepreneur running your own business, these skills will help you on your way. If you want to work on these things, you can create a career toolkit development guide to build peer learning groups and help develop these skills.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“It can seem intimidating to say ‘how am I gonna become a great leader, a great networker, a great negotiator.’ But as we saw with that negotiating example, it’s not about being the best in the world, it’s just about getting a little bit better. And if you can get that few percent better in each of these skills, you’re going to have a fantastic, successful career. So don’t be intimidated, start today, and just focus on getting a little bit better.”

Jim Gale is a four-time All-American and National Championship wrestler who created a mortgage company that reached 1.3 billion in sales in only three years. This allowed Jim to retire early and live one of his life goals: He bought a boat, lived on the ocean for a year, and moved to Costa Rica to build eco-villages. It was there that he discovered permaculture, and this life-changing experience led him to realize that he needed to bring this to every household in the world. He started Food Forest Abundance to do just that.

Jim had never been one to set goals, but when his wrestling coach in high school gave him an ultimatum—write out your goals and hand them to me by Friday or you won’t wrestle—he knew he had to do it. But during that process, something in him changed, and he set some outlandish goals. And yet, by setting out to be the kind of person who embodies those goals, he was able to achieve them.

When his two daughters were born, Jim began to think more long-term and he looked at what he thought the world would look like for his children and grandchildren. It was then that he learned about permaculture and became certain that we are destroying our planet with our current food infrastructure. And he realized that the best path forward was to bring permaculture into everyone’s homes.

We all have the ability to take control of our own food, whether we have a huge yard or live in a tiny apartment. You may not be able to fully sustain yourself, but you can grow your own food in a gallon bucket of soil and start the process of gaining food independence.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

The future of humanity starts in your mind, in your heart, and in your hands. It’s not somebody else’s job to save my life, right? It’s my duty—and it’s a joyful duty—to affect how I respond to the world in these crises that are upon us. And how do I do that best? It’s by a lot of meditation, a lot of prayer, a lot of silent time with an intention of asking for guidance, and then, from some magical place, the ideas come. And when they’re inspired ideas, they motivate. Follow your bliss, as Joseph Campbell said, and use inspired action and start becoming self-reliant, and then teach our friends and family and our neighbors and our community how we do it because it’s joyful. And that, my friends, is the solution right there.
