  • How to Tell Your Story with Confidence and Purpose with Sabine Kvenberg

    What if the story you have been overlooking is the very thing that could inspire, connect, and open doors for others?

    In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant talks with Sabine Kvenberg, known as the storytelling dame from Germany. Sabine shares how her background as an actress, director, teacher, and entrepreneur shaped her belief that every person has a story worth telling. She explains why stories are so powerful, the common mistakes people make when sharing them, and how to communicate in a way that truly connects with an audience.

    Sabine also introduces her concept of the invisible stage, the unseen preparation, mindset, and practice that shape the moments people do see. She shares a powerful story from her performing career that perfectly illustrates why success is rarely overnight and why the behind-the-scenes work matters so much. She also talks about her upcoming book and why leaving a legacy through your story matters.

    If you have ever thought, I do not have a story, this conversation will challenge that belief and help you see your experiences in a whole new way.

  • How Local Businesses Can Get Found in AI Search

    AI search is changing how customers find local service businesses. In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant explains why traditional search is no longer the only place business owners need to show up and how tools like ChatGPT, Siri, Alexa, and Google AI are changing local visibility.

    Lois shares why many good businesses are becoming invisible online, not because they do poor work, but because their websites, reviews, content, and business information are not structured in a way AI can easily understand.

    You’ll learn the four key signals AI looks for before recommending a business, including consistent name, address, and phone number, clear website structure, recent trust signals, and helpful content that answers real customer questions.

    Lois also introduces the Fully Booked Blueprint, a system designed to help local businesses improve AI visibility, build consistent bookings, and stop losing calls to competitors who are simply better set up online.

  • Why Women Over 50 Struggle With Weight and What Actually Helps

    What if the answer to weight gain and low energy after 50 is not eating less, but eating smarter?

    In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant talks with Dr. Ginny Trierweiler, a psychologist and health coach who helps women in their 50s and 60s learn how to eat in a way that truly supports their changing bodies. They unpack why dieting and restriction often stop working after menopause, how processed foods create more stress in the body, and why abundant nutritious foods can lead to better energy, less inflammation, and a more peaceful relationship with food.

    Dr. Ginny shares her own journey from pain, inflammation, and pre-diabetes to discovering a more sustainable and wise way to eat. She also explains how habits, identity, and even taste buds can change when women begin nourishing their bodies differently.

    If you are tired of quick fixes, confused by conflicting nutrition advice, or frustrated that what used to work no longer does, this conversation will encourage you and give you a better path forward.
