  • Ep. 96: Getaway2Give: Transforming the Worlds of Fundraising & Vacationing | with Adam Capes

    Today our expert guest is Adam Capes, the co-founder and President of Getaway2Give. Adam is a social entrepreneur helping people create amazing vacation experiences, while changing the world of fundraising as we know it.

     

    Adam has been passionate about raising money to help people since was in first grade, when he had a backyard fair to support individuals diagnosed with Leukemia. That experience gave him a high he had never experienced before, and it inadvertently taught him that the act of giving is actually as psychologically gratifying (if not moreso) than the act of receiving.

     

    What Adam found is that one of the most effective strategies for fundraising is providing unmatched, memorable vacations. So, at Getaway2Give, they give people a white-glove concierge experience – a personal Guest Experience Manager helps plan the details, then a Destination Manager greets guests on site and makes certain everything goes as planned throughout the entire experience – in return for a charitable contribution that supports others who really need help.

     

    Although this style of fundraising has typically only been part of charity fundraisers, Getaway2Give offers packages to anyone looking to go on a great vacation, without doing all of the work that’s often involved with going out of town.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “Start with why. Figure out what your why is, what your bigger purpose is, what you’re passionate about, what drives you, and follow that. They say when the Why is strong enough, the How is easy.”

  • Ep. 95: Spiritual Fitness: Envisioning, Embodying, & Actualizing Your Perfect Day (Every Single Day) | with Patricia Moreno

    Today our expert guest is Patricia Moreno, the trailblazing founder of spiritual fitness, a methodology that borrows many of the lessons from cognitive behavioral therapy. She is leading a conversation about the importance of each and every one of us making a vow to wake up and be a positive and effective part of the raising of the consciousness of the planet.

     

    Although Patricia has achieved a very high level of success, it certainly didn’t happen overnight. Things didn’t go as well as she expected in her early career ventures, reaching a head when she started using crystal meth, and this is in large part due to the baggage she was carrying from childhood.

     

    Patricia grew up as one of the 9th of 11 children. She was raised with the idea that a woman’s self-worth and is inherently tied to her looks, and she and her seven sisters adopted the value that looking great and being thin were paramount. As a result, they inherited a lot of their mother’s fears and self-doubts.

     

    A defining moment in Patricia’s life was when, at eight years old, her mother put her on a diet. She can remember standing on a scale, with both of her parents looking down at her as if something was wrong with her and her body. “My worth was my weight, and my body was my social currency.”

     

    Then she discovered exercise. Exercise felt like a medicine that helped her break free; she felt like she could use her body, and she could activate these feelings of strength and joy. However, behind the scenes, she was getting more stressed out, more subconscious, more depressed, and her eating disorder kicked into full gear. She was considered one of the best in the fitness world, but it was unsustainable. “I was abusing every aspect of my body and mind to try and fulfill one goal.”

     

    This really came to a head after she got her dream job hosting a live workout show. About a year into the show, a producer said she had gained to much weight – and the shame spiral was beyond anything she’d ever experienced. As a result, she turned to crystal meth as her new diet.

     

    Thankfully, she had a moment of grace and clarity. “I thought, what am I doing? Here I am, someone who has so much and so much success, and now I’m going to become a drug addict? For who? And for what? Is this really the way that I want my life to go?”

     

    She realized that it wasn’t her that was broken, unable to keep off weight with just diet and exercise – the recipe was wrong.

     

    So she started working for a cause and a mission: to help people break free from this identity that our body is our social currency, and to help people achieve their goals in a more holistic and loving way. And for almost two decades now, Patricia has been spreading this message and changing lives.

     

    After years of training and studying with personal optimization experts, mindset scholars, and spiritual teachers, Patricia created her own practices to integrate spiritual fitness into the lives of hundreds of thousands worldwide. Her signature movement method, intenSati, has been changing lives for over 15 years, and this embodiment of positive states through movement is still an integral part of her work.

     

    In an effort to give everyone access to unlocking their highest potential, she created a year-long digital program that combines a powerful guided morning practice with unwavering daily accountability and consistency called Sati365. In just two years, the program has seen astounding results by simply empowering members to envision, embody, and actualize their perfect day, every single day.

     

    Patricia also has a FREE gift for the Daily Helping audience: http://patriciamoreno.com/confidence

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “You have got to prioritize your morning towards what’s most important to you. You have to create that space in your day where you actually embody the person that you truly want to be. There’s actually no other way for us to get conscious and intentional about the life we want to create without creating time in our day to actually do that consistently.”

  • Ep. 94: From Prison to Purpose: Beating Addiction & Limiting Beliefs | with Mark Crandall

    Today our expert guest is Mark Crandall, LMSW, LCDC. He is a transformational life and business coach, a workshop facilitator, a Keynote Speaker, the author of Eulogy of Childhood Memories, and the host of Purpose Chasers Podcast.

     

    Mark went from a lost boy with countless traumatic experiences to drug addiction, prison, and an undying self-hatred to building multiple six-figure coaching practices and leading life changing workshops where he empowers others to break free from their limiting beliefs towards creating the lives of their dreams.

     

    Many people who go through what Mark has gone through end up with their lives totally derailed, forever – but Mark is now out there making a difference in the world, every single day, and that isn’t because he’s special or different. It’s because he was lucky and exposed to healthy ideas, and now he wants to help others do the same.

     

    “I knew that something was wrong with me, but I didn’t understand what... and I just longed for the moment that it would all come together.”

     

    While incarcerated, Mark was scared because he knew he didn’t have the skills to actually change the way that he thought or acted. He couldn’t even stay sober inside of prison. How could he do it out in the world?

     

    The ah-ha moment came 22 months into his two-year sentence. He woke up, full of fear. He just got his acceptance letter saying he would be released, but his experience showed him that he didn’t do well in the real world. “My heart spoke to me, and my heart said... Go to the one place in the library that you’ve never been.”

     

    He didn’t know what that meant, at first, but he listened – and he ended up in the spirituality and self-help section. A book by the Dalai Lama stuck out to him, and later that day, he tried his first attempt at practicing a mindfulness technique.

     

    Mark didn’t know what he was seeking, but he found it.

     

    He also found that, “unlike drugs and alcohol, the effects of spiritual practices, the effects of transformational work, the effects of introspective work, it doesn’t wear off – and I don’t get arrested.”

     

    That isn’t to say that, immediately, his whole life changed and he suddenly loved himself. That would be a lie. But his life did start to change, bit by bit.

     

    Mark made another big step forward when he found Metta meditation, a loving-kindness meditation practice that really started to shift the way he felt about himself. “Once I learned to start to love other people and forgive other people, that’s when I started to reap the benefits of learning how to love myself and forgive myself.” Self-hatred will reap hatred, and self-compassion will reap compassion.

     

    Mark re-wrote the story of his life, and now, he dedicates his life to empowering others to accomplish the same.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “You are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are not your feelings... there is no such thing as feeling outside of attachment to thoughts. So you’re not your thoughts. You can achieve anything in this life that you put your mind to.”

  • Ep. 93: The Rise of the Youpreneur | with Chris Ducker

    Today our expert guest is Chris Ducker, a serial entrepreneur, author of the bestsellers Virtual Freedom and Rise of the Youpreneur, and the self-proclaimed 'Proudest Brit' doing business online!

     

    He's also a trusted international business mentor, keynote speaker, podcaster, blogger, and the founder of Youpreneur.com – the leading personal brand business education company in the world.

     

    I absolutely love Virtual Freedom and reading it had a profound impact on the way I run The Daily Helping. It can easily be considered the bible of remote team building, and it was written to address a glaring gap in the marketplace.

     

    Because our world changed years and years ago – we’ve been living in a virtual world for at least a decade. However, there wasn’t anything out there to help entrepreneurs understand the importance of delegation or the sheer advantage of delegating remotely. “You don’t need to hire people in your backyard to get stuff done,” Chris says. “In fact, geographic location should have absolutely nothing to do with who you are hiring.”

     

    I think a lot of us, especially entrepreneurs, understand the appeal of hiring remote teams and outsourcing work... but that doesn’t mean we all do it right. Chris identifies two cardinal errors that people make over, and over, and over again:

     

    First, they hire one person and then expect that person to do three or four people’s jobs. Chris says you have to hire for the role, not for the task. He acknowledges that this can be difficult for a small business that can’t afford three people, but ultimately, it just won’t work out. I mean you wouldn’t ask your plumber to wire your lights, would you?

     

    Second, they expect outsourcing work to be a magic pill that they take once then all of their problems go away. Your new virtual assistant won’t work perfectly from day one, there is no magic pill, and there will always be new problems. Your employee is only going to be as good as the employer, so you have to put work into training both their skillset and mindset (people tend to forget this second bit).

     

    Chris’s newest book, The Rise of the Youpreneur, was also written to fill a gap in the market: people wanted to build personal brands, but they didn’t know how. So this is the definitive guide to building the business of you, whether you’re a content creator, author, speaker, blogger, or podcaster.

     

    Anyone building a business based around themselves, their expertise, their personality, and ultimately, the people they want to serve – this book is for you.

     

    If you want to learn more about building your personal brand from Chris and his world-class panel of speakers, check out the Youpreneur Mid-Year Mastermind (May 18, 2019): youpreneur.com/mid-year-mastermind.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    Going back to Chris’s mentor, Zig Ziglar: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”

  • Ep. 92: The Difference Between Success & Fulfillment | with Dr. Nii Darko

    Today our expert guest is Dr. Nii Darko, a Board-certified General Surgeon who is pushing past the limits of the status quo. He hosts Docs Outside the Box, a podcast in which he highlights stories of doctors doing extraordinary things outside of medicine to inspire other doctors to think outside the box.

     

    Since Dr. Darko was young, he single-mindedly pursued being a doctor. Role models like Doctor Huxtable and Doogie Howser showed him a vision of the future he wanted, so he went after it.

     

    But after getting all the credentials and all the qualifications, after achieving his dream, Dr. Darko realized that he missed a lot: funerals, weddings, and ten years of his parents’ lives. He knew he was going to be a successful surgeon – but he wasn’t fulfilled.

     

    The good news, however, is that Dr. Darko had this awakening in his 30s. When you have your head down and you’re working in a demanding career, it’s easy for decades to go by and then look back with regret.

     

    So today, Dr. Darko is helping other doctors break out of this box, explore their other talents, and change the world. “And the best way I can help people see the light is not anything revolutionary, but just literally telling stories of other doctors who feel the same way or have gone through the same things.”

     

    Doctors who do medical humanitarian work in war-torn places of the world, run their own businesses, contribute to medical journalism, and so many other extraordinary things – and sharing these stories to help others see the light will be Dr. Darko’s legacy.

     

    “Doctors can do more than just help one patient at a time, in a hospital or a clinic. We can literally affect society as a whole.”

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “Just start. Whatever it is that you’re really concerned about, whatever it is that you want to do, any dream that you want to do. Oftentimes, we let fear get in the way, or we let procrastination or insecurity get in the way of us dreaming or taking that first step.

     

    “So what I say now is, whenever I get nervous about something, I acknowledge it and I just start. It doesn't matter. It doesn’t have to be perfect... If there’s something that you’ve always wanted to do, just do it!”

  • Ep. 91: The Origins of a Modern Storyteller: Creating Comics, Video Games, & New Media | with Paul Jenkins

    Today our expert guest is Paul Jenkins, a veteran of 25 years in the graphic novel, film and video game industries. Over the last two decades Paul has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of literally hundreds of world-renowned, recognizable entertainment icons. From his employment with the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to his preeminent status as an IP creator, Paul has provided entertainment to the world through hundreds of print publications, films, video games, and new media.

     

    Raised by a single mother in the West Country of the United Kingdom, Paul grew up in two worlds: going to school with the children of rich families and living on a farm in poverty. He was “a gypsy kid hidden in an affluent society,” and this paradigm has influenced a lot of his work, from the novel Curioddity to the first issue of Wolverine: Origin.

     

    And while Paul enjoys writing all of the characters he’s been able to give life to, the one he identifies most with is your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; a successful brand with a secret identity, but an identity that made him who he is.

     

    When Paul was 22, he only had about 50 quid left to his name and he heard about an opportunity to come work in America for the summer – but he never did go back to the U.K. He started working with the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he helped negotiate many of their early licensing deals.

     

    Paul worked in production for a few years before he had a chat with comics luminary Alan Moore, which inspired him to start writing. Starting with a five year stint in Hellblazer, Paul went on to write comics like Inhumans (for which he earned an Eisner Award), The Incredible Hulk, The Sentry, Wolverine, and of course Spider-Man.

     

    Then Paul set his eyes on the video game industry. Video games were seen as “dumb entertainment for dumb children,” and even the video game industry seemed to think that at times – but Paul very much disagreed. If we treat video games as an artform, they will be.

     

    Today, Paul does a little bit of everything. He still works on comics and games, but he also works across multiple media and new media, presenting stories in both new and familiar ways.

     

    Sometimes people will look at Paul and say he’s a guru, a storyteller, a writer... I could never be such a thing. And those people are wrong. “We are all storytellers. All of us are, and we all have the ability to do it. We think it’s the kind of thing that we cannot do sometimes. How could I possibly be a storyteller? But the truth is that storytelling is ingrained. It’s something that we do with our children. To a certain extent, telling a little white lie is storytelling... When you go to the end of your day and you fall asleep, you fall asleep to the story of the day.”

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “There’s often a maxim that people talk about: that writers write. The concept being that if you’re a writer, just go out and do it. Go get writing and that will make you a writer, and I cry foul on that. I don’t believe it. I think writers finish things.

     

    “If I could say anything to anyone, it would be that talent does not exist. It is simply potential. And if you add hard work to it, and a form of social maturity, that’s when you have talent.”

  • Ep. 90: Visual Intelligence & The Art of Perception | with Amy Herman

    Today our expert guest is Amy Herman, a lawyer and art historian who uses works of art to symmetrically sharpen observation, analysis, and communication skills. By showing people how to look closely at painting, sculpture, and photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to help them recognize the most pertinent and useful information, as well as biases that impede decision making.

     

    She originally developed her Art of Perception seminar in 2000 to improve medical student’s observation and communication skills with their patients, but she has since adapted the program to train a wide variety of individuals, including: the FBI, NYPD, Department of Homeland Security, Navy SEALs, Peace Corps, Georgetown University Hospital, MetLife, Johnson & Johnson, Planned Parenthood, Seventh Day Adventist Church, and New York City doormen.

     

    How do we see what matters?

     

    Amy’s catchphrase is, “How do we see what matters?”

     

    In a world where we are barraged with information, where we have a non-stop, 24-hour stream of digital information available at your fingertips, how do we separate what’s important from what’s just noise? We see so much and our brain can’t take all of that in, so how do we distill the information that we need to live our lives with purpose and do our jobs as effectively as we can?

     

    Amy suggests that it’s through the development of visual intelligence, which “means not only looking up from your screens and engaging the world around you, but filtering out a lot of that noise and a lot of that information to see what matters.”

     

    Art just happens to be the vehicle that Amy chooses to teach this because it’s a novel set of data for the people that she works with. If you’re used to running a successful business, for example, looking at works of art gives your left brain a rest, engages your right brain, and forces you to think about communicating what you see. Then, when you go back to work, you have a different template or lens through which to see business operations and communicate what you see to others.

     

    Communication is actually a significant part of this program. “Communication is a two-way street,” Amy says. “It’s not just how you say it. You have to be mindful of who’s listening to you and how your message is being heard. Because if it’s not being heard, your message doesn’t matter.”

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    “This a rule in my house and I share it with people because it’s a small thing and we can all do it: look up from your screens for 15 minutes a day. If my 16 year old can do it, I promise you can do it... Do anything. Go talk to a colleague. Go talk to your husband. Go talk to your wife. Have a glass of wine. Read a book. Make dinner. Take a walk.

     

    “And it’s not a punishment... But I believe that when we look up from our screens for 15 minutes a day, we think differently, we communicate differently, and we prioritize our lives differently.”

  • Ep. 89: 1Life Fully Lived: The Roadmap for an Abundant & Fulfilling Life | with Tim Rhode

    Today our expert guest is Tim Rhode, co-founder of both 1Life Fully Lived and GoBundance. We talk about what those organizations are, how they’re changing lives, and why Tim is inspired to help others develop their own life plan to create a world of abundance and balance.

     

    Although Tim is tremendously successful today, he had a bit of a rough start to life. A turbulent home life led to him barely graduating high school, and at 25, he was a part-time grocery clerk who had to go door-to-door painting addresses to pay the bills.

     

    He developed a poverty mindset early in life – and it wasn’t until developing an interest in real estate, and seeing how it could create new opportunities for him, that Tim started to shake that mindset.

     

    1Life Fully Lived

     

    1Life Fully Lived is a nonprofit organization started that gives people of all ages and backgrounds the tools to achieve life mastery. By leveraging the knowledge and support of their community, they provide life-planning tools and training in goal setting, finance, relationships, and wellness so that anyone can create and live their best life.

     

    All of their core teachings help people answer these critical questions:

     

    • Who the heck am I at my core?
    • What’s my dream?
    • What’s my plan? How will I fund this dream?
    • How will I be healthy in my mind, body, and spirit to pull it off?
    • And who’s in my tribe to help me achieve this magnificent life that I was blessed to live?

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

     

    Tim encourages everyone to live multiple incarnations in their life; different chapters of your life story.

     

    “If you’re 25 to 44 and you’re listening to this and you’re like, there’s something I want to do and I’m just not there yet, go towards it. Just fail forward towards that, while you’re juggling these balls.”

  • Ep. 088: Transformative Storytelling & Sexy Vulnerability | with Corey Blake

    Today our expert guest, Corey Blake, shares two unique but powerful tools for both personal and business development: storytelling and vulnerability. Corey is the Publisher of Conscious Capitalism Press and the founder & CEO of Round Table Companies, where he has spent over a decade helping business leaders use storytelling to transform themselves and their organizations.

     

    Corey spent a past life as an actor, acting in everything from commercials to movies to TV. But after he became disillusioned with acting, he started to shift to more behind-the-scenes roles and getting into the storytelling aspect of entertainment.

     

    However, he felt the need to do something a little more predictable or “normal,” so he started pursuing writing jobs. And when people started approaching him looking for help writing their books, “suddenly, this thing that was very practical became creative.” One of the first books he worked on was Robert Renteria’s From the Barrio to the Board Room, and seeing the way that book inspired people to change their lives solidified Corey’s new focus: using stories to connect people and help them reshape their own identity.

     

    Today, Corey primarily helps businesses tell their stories. “Everyone who starts or leads a business is an artist, and they’re using that business as a canvas, essentially painting a version of the world that they want to see,” Corey says. “That’s a story worth telling. That’s a story worth sharing.”

    “Leadership is a lifetime lifestyle commitment... We get the companies we deserve; businesses that we build are a reflection of who we are. If we want to have more impact in the world, we have to start with ourselves. So committing to doing our own personal work on this journey expands our capabilities, as business people, immensely, and it is a lifestyle commitment.”

  • Ep. 087: The Unshakeable Value Of Knowing Your Worth | with Byron Van Pelt

    I love today’s guest, and I know you will as well.


    Byron Van Pelt is a business strategist, coach, and consultant who focuses on helping entrepreneurs grow lucrative businesses, from a place of transparency and authenticity.


    At the age of 23, he found himself thrust into a business culture where sales strategies and tactics were manipulative, and focused on convincing customers to hand over their hard-earned money. While he was successful at it, Byron slowly found himself spiritually bankrupt.


    With the support of mentors and colleagues, he shifted direction, committed to serving from truth, owning his value to others, and with no online presence he experienced a major breakthrough in enrolling high-paying clients, which led to a $25,000 per month revenue stream. Since then, everything began to change.

     

    In today’s episode, Byron shares some absolute gems regarding connection, authenticity, and knowing your value.

     

    “If there’s anything that we didn’t get as children, what if we took that frustration and transformed it into a gift, and it became the bedrock of our message?”


    Byron’s Breakout Ideas:

    • Be in command of your value
    • Develop a strong message that speaks to your goal market
    • Find a means of marketing yourself that’s in alignment with your gifts
    • Scale your business



    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway


    “The most important thing to me is the capacity to connect.


    I think an inauthentic connection with ourselves stems from trying to prove, validate, or show that we’re capable, loved, or special. A real connection with ourselves starts with being radically authentic and radically honest, and asking, “what really drives me? What actually lights my soul on fire? What actually fires me up? What am I scared of in this moment of my life?” People can connect to us much more readily when we’re more raw and vulnerable.


    The other half of that is learning to connect with others. Learn to speak from an authentic place. Whether or not this person will help me out, or boost my status or my popularity, what is the truth that I need to deliver to this person? What is the message that they need to hear?


    Learning how to better connect with ourselves and how to better connect with others are the biggest ways we can help each other out in our lives.”
