The Daily Helping

Today our expert guest is Carey Smolensky, a dynamic businessman, event producer, entertainer, entrepreneur, and the author of Living Life with Passion and Helping Others.

Carey began his family of companies four decades ago, while in high school, and is constantly challenging himself to make a difference in the lives of others. Carey truly lives this every day, and he’s clearly role modeling that value for his children.

In 1998, on the way home from a Chicago Bulls game, Carey and his family drove through an area of the city where people less fortunate were living. From that moment, his children stepped up to help.

What started with getting some friends together to make sandwiches and collect clothing grew into an annual event: A Warmer Winter. On the third Saturday in December, volunteers “caravan into the city of Chicago seeking out the homeless population, and distribute food, clothing, basic essentials, and, just as important, HUGS!”

A Passionate Journey

Carey wrote his book, Living Life with Passion and Helping Others, because he realized that his powerful journey is of no use to anyone else – unless it’s shared. “My book is my vehicle to share my journey, share my experiences, and inspire other people to look at life in a different lens, to make ripples that go further beyond their immediate circle.”

The Passion Summit is the evolution of the book, bringing his message about living life with passion and helping others to life in a two-day experience. Carey is drawing on his decades of experience creating events to design an experience unlike anything else he’s ever done.

In addition to motivating and inspiring the people who attend, Carey aims to create a global community of like-minded people who want to support each other and give back as a tribe. As a result, summit participants will be able to join an annual Giving Back Trip. This year, they will travel to Puerto Rico to assist in reconstruction efforts.

Care is also generous enough to offer Daily Helping listeners a $350 discount on tickets to the conference by using the code DAILYHELPING when you register.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Whatever you want to do in life, do it now. 50% of people live their lives thinking they’re too young to do something. The other 50% think they’re too old to do something. What ends up happening is they live their lives in quiet desperation, and at the end of the day, the one thing you don’t want to have is regret… It’s not a question of not having time to do it. It’s a question of not making time to do it.”

Today our expert guest is Dave Sanderson, the last passenger to leave US Airways Flight 1549 after it crashed into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009 – an event that became known as “The Miracle on the Hudson.”

Dave wasn’t even supposed to be on US Airways Flight 1549. He was scheduled to come back at a 5 PM flight on the 15th, but his business trip ended early so he traded a first class seat for a spot in the back of an earlier flight. “I took an earlier flight just to get home early and be with my family.”

He boarded the plane, walked to the back, and fell into his routine. Then, about 60 seconds after taking off, Dave heard a pair of explosions – birds flew into two engines of the plane, simultaneously.

A few minutes later, after barely clearing the George Washington Bridge, the pilot came over the loudspeaker and said his famous words: “This is your captain. Brace for impact.”

As the plane filled with water, Dave knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be. Dave braved the frigid waters to help other passengers, all of whom made it off the plane, and he emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing.

Dave has been spreading his message and encouraging others through interviews, speaking engagements, and his book, Moments Matter: How One Defining Moment Can Create a Lifetime of Purpose.

Dave is also generous enough to offer Daily Helping listeners a sneak peak at his upcoming course, “Overcoming Adversity in Challenging Times.” Just Text “BRACE4IMPACT” to 797979 to access this gift.

Today our expert guest is Thomas G. Fiffer, the Senior Editor of Ethics at The Good Men Project, where his articles have received more than five million views (and articles he’s edited have received more than 15 million views). He is a professional writer, speaker, and storyteller with a focus on diagnosing and healing dysfunctional relationships.

Thomas is also a frequent contributor to Weston Magazine, a professional book editor and ghostwriter, and the author of two books on relationships – Why It Can't Work: Detaching From Dysfunctional Relationships to Make Room for True Love and What Is Love? A Guide for the Perplexed to Matters of the Heart.

Thomas has an impressive writing career, pursuing his dream to create works as impactful as the literature he voraciously consumed as a child. However, there was also a time when Thomas put his dreams on hold.

He got a job in publishing out of college, fearing that he would not be able to make a career out of writing but still wanting to remain close to it – and, for Thomas, this was a frustrating business.

Thomas transitioned to a database publishing company responsible for creating directories of contact information for leaders. He planned to do it for a few years, learn the business side of the industry, make some money, and then get out… but he ended up working there for 20 years.

And after 20 years, as the whole publishing industry started to decline, he was let go. This was the perfect opportunity to pursue his dreams of writing, and it just so happened that an editorial position at The Good Men Project opened up, where he had been contributing for about a year.

This is also when Thomas started finding his niche in the relationship space, mining his own experiences in a dysfunctional relationship to help others. He started to solidify his voice with a blog post titled “Situational Dysfunction,” in which he touches on the nagging, subconscious feeling that something is just “off” in a relationship.

So what makes a relationship dysfunctional?

Dysfunctional relationships are characterized by fighting, dismissal, emotional withholding, abuse, or other unhealthy dynamics. Things like this happen occasionally in many relationships, and that’s fine – but when there is a consistent pattern of dysfunction, that is a problem.

And what can you do when you become aware of a dysfunctional relationship?

• First, try to evaluate your own contribution to the dynamic. Are you triggering it in some way? Are any of your actions, even unwittingly or unknowingly, setting off this cycle of abuse? Are you triggering that conflict (knowingly or unknowingly) because you get something out of it? To break the cycle, you have to understand what’s triggering it.

• We can’t necessarily diagnose or solve a problem immediately after a conflict because our brains get flooded or overloaded, and we are incapable of handling the situation in any logical way. You cannot engage in a conflict when someone feels flooded because it will play out the same way over and over again.

• You need to put your own oxygen mask on first; start looking at and fixing your own healthy behaviors first, as opposed to trying to fix (or blame) your partner. Your partner will either start to gravitate towards this healthier way of engaging, or they won’t – if they can’t (or won’t) overcome the pattern of dysfunction, you will have to make a decision about whether you want to stay in that or leave.

Today our expert guest is Sterling McDavid. Inspired by her time volunteering with UNICEF in 2013, Sterling left a career as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs to become an entrepreneur and focus on social good and design. Sterling is now CEO & Founder of The Starling Project, a charitable home candle line that helps provide solar energy to impoverished communities around the world.

Sterling first volunteered for a two-week trip to Vietnam. As soon as she got back, she put in her two weeks’ notice. “I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do, but I knew that I had to take the leap now.”

While volunteering, she saw solar technology being used in ways that she did not know was possible, like a solar panel powering the distribution of clean water. She was fascinated by this, so she pursued a job with the architecture firm Projectiles in Paris, France, where she was then exposed to the world of fragrance.

These two experiences catalyzed a new idea: light for light. What if every one of these boutique, relatively expensive candles helped provide clean energy for someone in need?

The first initiative that The Starling Project funded with UNICEF was for a small community in Chad. They had to trek three to five miles in one direction to get water, and the water wasn’t even necessarily clean (which led to preventable diseases in children, like cholera, and stole a lot of valuable time).

They installed solar panels to power pipes that pump clean water directly to the center of the community, and it’s been a game changer for the people who live there: no one is spending the bulk of their day retrieving water, fewer children are sick, students can spend more time in school, and parents can spend more time working.

In creating The Starling Project, Sterling wanted to demonstrate the impact that just one person can make. It may feel intimidating, but a single person can move the needle.

In less than two years, The Starling Project has donated more than $150,000 to UNICEF and impacted the lives of over 5,000 people, and they’re currently in the middle of another project in Rwandan hospitals that will affect tens of thousands of people.

And today, you can head over to starlingproject.org/shop and purchase a candle that will, guaranteed, improve at least one other person’s life.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

Sterling always goes back to the same Ghandi quote: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

“I believe that it’s possible. If you envision the change, go for it,” she says. “You can be the person to make a difference and make a change in this world. At the end of the day, when you leave this world, it’s important to be able to know that I helped change people’s lives, and that it’s actually possible to do.

Today our expert guest is Andy Janning, a speaker, visual storyteller, and the author of Heroes, Villains, and Drunk Old Men: A Love Story for Real Life. Andy describes himself as “the most accidental of entrepreneurs,” and he’s had a lot of success over the past six years, but prior to that, he spent over two decades in corporate America.

When Andy left his corporate job, he started to blend his passion for talent development with his passion for stories, visual storytelling in particular. And in the process, Andy has created a unique model of talent development that helps people live out their best story and serve others.

Heroes, Villains, and Drunk Old Men isn’t your typical nonfiction book for working adults – there is a narrative thread running throughout, enhanced by Andy’s knack for visual storytelling.

And although Andy’s name is on the front cover, he is not the star of this particular story; “I am blessed to know an amazing number of everyday heroes, and they are the people that I want to lift up.” The end result is intimate and powerful, and the lessons it has to offer were tested in the real world by these real people.

Andy is the first person to tell you that none of the stories or people in his book are perfect, however. It is designed to help people take inventory of their own scars and blemishes, appreciate where they came from, and have a better sense of where their life is currently aiming them.

“Failure is a great teacher, but success is a great wind in our sails – and I want to capture both of those.”

Andy also identifies eight questions that every hero should answer in the process of transforming. They are designed to short circuit our pattern and habit to forget, and help us see the nuance and richness in our stories

1. What do you really want?
2. Who is going to be your mentor?
3. How are you going to fail?
4. How are you going to succeed?
5. What are you going to fight for and against?
6. What will victory (or success) look like?
7. What are you going to give away?
8. Where are you going to go next?

You can (and probably should) ask these questions at any point in your life, and they will help you cross the right finish line for the right reasons. (In 8 Questions for Every Hero: The Story of Your Journey, these questions are expanded on and accompanied by the gorgeous art of acclaimed illustrator Jingo de la Rosa.)

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“If you don’t want to be the villain in your own story, have someone in your life who will hold you accountable, knows you better than yourself, and can pull the good things out of you… And you need to mentor others. If you’re under mentorship, and you mentor others, that’s what creates a real sense of community.

“Heroes know that they’re trying to create more heroes – villains are trying to create more followers. When you create more heroes, you create community, but when you create more followers, you just create a cult. And this world has enough of that.”

Today our expert guest is Clarissa Silva, a Behavioral Scientist, Researcher, and Relationship Coach with 17 years of experience in mental health, behavioral science, and public health. Using research and data-driven techniques, she helps provide evidence-based solutions to relationship-based problems, for both organizations and individuals.

Clarissa also writes a very tongue-in-cheek relationship wellness blog, “YOU’RE JUST A DUMBASS,” to help people select and maintain healthy relationships (and avoid suboptimal ones). “I really wanted to remove the clinical barriers and provide any reader with true, public science.”

I love this approach to relationships because a lot of people don’t think about relationships in terms of optimal vs. suboptimal. We often get caught up labeling different behaviors as negative or positive, but it’s all so personal and subjective – what’s optimal for one couple may be suboptimal for another.

The Dating Paradox

We’re in an interesting era of dating: in just one generation, we shifted from young people reluctantly using online dating to young people almost exclusively using online dating.

Because our data and understanding of online dating is still so young, Clarissa works to better understand dating behavioral trends and its impact on self-esteem, self-awareness, and decision-making.

“The current dating market is creating what I call The Dating Paradox: it’s giving off the illusion of many choices, while making it harder to find viable options.” There’s also an illusion of more social engagement and social capital, while simultaneously masking one’s true persona.

We end up treating people like items on our social media streams. The first shiny object is what we stop at, and then we move onto the next shiny object. But that person – that shiny object – is still waiting to have their outcome fulfilled; they were looking for a date with a decent person!

The Happiness Hypothesis

Clarissa was curious about what impact these behaviors have on dating, so she conducted in-depth interviews with men and women ranging from ages 28 to 73, which she published as The Happiness Hypothesis Study.

There were quite a number of interesting findings:

• People dating online make decisions about whether or not to date someone in less time (just a few seconds), and use fewer elements of data to determine their selection.
• Because we’re interfacing digitally more than personally, it becomes easier to emotionally manipulate others or project an overly-positive persona. “I call this Vanity Validation – you’re seeking validation through electronic likes instead of life”
• 80% reported it being easier to ghost, bench, gaslight or breadcrumb because of the lack of communication and face-to-face interaction – and 80% of millennials reported having experienced ghosting, benching, gaslighting or breadcrumbing firsthand.
• 60% of people using social media, who are also active online dating users, reported that social media impacted their self-esteem in a negative way.
• 50% of people using social media, who are also in relationships, reported social media having negative effects on their relationship.
• 80% of people reported that it was easier to deceive others through their social posting.

So in light of these findings, are we living through the lens of social media instead of life? Or are we looking through the lens of life and trying to streamline it differently for social media?

Either way, the intersection of social media and relationships is having internal effects on our self-esteem, self-awareness, and decision-making.

Now Clarissa is turning her findings into tools (called Your Happiness Hypothesis: Your Personal Love Algorithm) that you can use to take a more data-driven approach to dating. There is simply so much useful data – so much – that individuals can mine from their online dating experiences.

The first Happiness Hypothesis tool is “How to Spot Red Flags,” which you can learn more about on clarissasilva.com.

Today our expert guest is Alexis Farah, Founder of RandomActsofLipstick.com. Her goal is to raise awareness about beauty brands, influencers, and organizations working tirelessly to make the world a more beautiful place, while also sharing tangible steps for how you can get involved.

“Simply put, we want to change the world one lipstick at a time.”

You may be surprised to discover that I absolutely love her unique approach to transforming our world through random acts of kindness, making it more beautiful both literally and figuratively.

Alexis originally founded Random Acts of Lipstick because she saw a hole in the market. No one was curating content to raise awareness about the brands that are truly trying to make a difference; organizations with things like community outreach programs, significant donations, or a culture of volunteering.

The average person isn’t necessarily aware of which organizations are giving back, and which products they can buy that will actually produce a positive impact on the world – but they should be, and Alexis is leading the awareness vanguard!

These are some of the brands, organizations, and individuals that are most meaningful to Alexis:

• Credo curates safe and healthy cosmetics on their online boutique and in their physical stores, and they donate 1% of every purchase to Lipstick Angels.
• Golden Door is a spa with a skincare product line, and they donate 100% of the proceeds from their skincare products to children’s charities.
• Thrive Causemetics has a one for one model, so they will donate one of every product that is purchased to a woman undergoing cancer treatment or domestic violence.
• PHLUR is a high-end fragrance company that does a lot to ensure their practices are eco-friendly, and they are recognized by 1% For The Planet because they donate 1% of their annual net revenue worldwide.
• Bren Gomez, founder of Beauty Piñata, is sending care packages to strangers in need.
• Elan Bongiorno, makeup artist for Eva Longoria, is partnering with the Beauty Bus Foundation.
• John Paul Mitchell Systems has a culture of giving, supporting 150 different charities.

Did Alexis inspire you to give back as much as she inspired me? If so, consider donating to one of Alexis’ favorite charities:

• New Alternatives for Children - nackidscan.org - NAC operates in NYC, founded on the belief that every child deserves a safe, nurturing home and a bright future.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“It is so important to find a cause that you feel passionate about because that’s what will get you excited about doing it, and probably help you commit to the program long-term… A lot of people are intimidated by finding the organizations that are a fit with them, but there are so many nonprofits now that really let you customize a volunteer opportunity, donation opportunity, or a way you can get your whole company to do a day of volunteer work."

“I encourage you to get on Google and see what kind of larger nonprofits offer customized experiences, because there is something for everybody."

“If we all do our part to make the world a better place… well, gosh, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Today our expert guest is the awesome and inspirational Sean Douglas, a U.S. Air Force veteran, Master Resilience Implementer, TEDx speaker, international radio show host, performance enhancement specialist, and the author of Decisions: The Power To Overcome Self-Defeating Behaviors.

Sean teaches others mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual resiliency skills that empower them to withstand, recover, and grow through life’s changing demands. In the process, Sean equips people with the tools they need to live EPIC lives, and leaves them better equipped to manage change effectively.

Today, Sean is successful and fulfilled – but getting there was a difficult and decades-long journey.

Growing up in Detroit, Sean lived in 11 different houses and attended eight different schools. It wasn’t a good way to grow up, and he tried to suppress the problems with alcohol – which, ultimately, only lead to more problems.

Eventually, Sean had all but given up. He had a bottle of whiskey and a handgun – and then he received a call.

Ten years ago, Sean went to see a chaplain and gave himself one more chance. This time, things started to change because he found something he had been missing: a purpose.

Sean’s purpose is to share his experience as a suicide survivor globally, so that he can inspire others to hope, succeed, and grow, even through the worst seasons of their life.

To do that, Sean believes you need three tools:

1. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. #CountingBlessings
2. Create values-based goals. Sean calls this “Living Your Brand.”
3. Develop a personal board of directors. “If every major company has board meetings to talk about growth and sales, why are we not doing that for our life?”

Sean expands on these tools, and his story, in his book. If you want more guidance and inspiration, I highly recommend picking up a copy.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“You have the power to turn the page and write a new chapter. You have the brain power. You have the internal motivation, Whether you believe it or not, you have the internal motivation, passion, and purpose to say, ‘This is not how my story ends.’ Everybody has that ability, whether you believe it or not.

“I’m telling you that you do because I was on the floor, with a gun in my hand, ready to end my life. Ten years later, my dream came true of having my own TEDxTalk. It’s not going to happen overnight, but you have the power to turn the chapter and write a new one. Just turn the page.”

Today our expert guest is Karen Briscoe, the creator of the 5 Minute Success concept, which she generously shares with others through her books, speaking engagements, and podcast.

The concept, inspired by ideas from Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning, is simple: if you read Real Estate Success in 5 Minutes a Day for five minutes every morning, and apply one concept every day, you will build a habit that slowly transforms your behaviors and business results.

However, Success in 5 Minutes a Day isn’t just another business book, and it doesn’t just apply to real estate. Anyone in business, especially entrepreneurs, can leverage this book to build a habit that sets them up for success.

“My mission is to help women achieve a higher level of success. When I was an at-home mother, I felt like I was still missing something. As I have achieved success I have much greater self-confidence and the means to do things that our family wasn’t in a position to do before. I see that when women achieve a higher level of success, everyone else’s lives around them improve… You have so much to offer, and you can start today! Then you too can achieve a higher level of success.”

Today our expert guest is Jon Berghoff, a world-renowned experiential trainer and Co-Founder of the Flourishing Leadership Institute. I had the pleasure of meeting Jon at the Best Year Ever Blueprint Event – which he hosts with his close friend Hal Elrod, creator of The Miracle Morning – and I’m extremely grateful because both Jon and Hal have been influential in my own transformation.

Jon is featured in many episodes of the Achieve Your Goals Podcast (including this excellent episode on achieving your goals in 2018, which I highly recommend checking out), but in this conversation Jon shares his journey, and the many unexpected turns he took along the way, in a way that you’ve never heard before.

Many of us are familiar with Jon’s work at Vitamix (managing U.S. sales during their growth from $40 million to $175 million) and what he’s doing today with the Flourishing Leadership Institute, so we go back to find out what made him who he is today.

One of the most eye-opening parts of this conversation is when Jon shares his personal strategy for attracting and cultivating relationships with the mentors that he has had.

Cultivating mentors is something that we all need to actually take some ownership over, instead of just hoping that one stumbles into our lives – so we have to proactively create the conditions that will allow, and encourage, mentorship.

Jon’s formula can be broken down to three simple questions that you have to ask yourself:

1. What mission am I on?
2. What purpose is driving me?
3. Who are the individuals that are ahead of me?

Finding a mentor isn’t all about you and what you get out of it – when you can align your mission with your mentor’s mission, and use your skills to further that mission, “it’s amazing what can happen.”

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“I think it would be an encouragement, an encouragement for people to find a way to push pause. And when I say find a way to push pause, this comes from system science... if you push pause on a machine in what’s called a simple system, it stops working. What we know about a human system, or an individual, is when we push pause, it actually starts working.”

"I’d encourage everybody to push pause, with the hope that in that space maybe you can become open to seeing things differently, open to appreciating people in a different way, and then ultimately open to the possibility and the potential that each of us can actually shape the future as it emerges. So, that would be my encouragement. Push Pause.”
