Caitlin Crosby started life in the spotlight, right out of the gate. Her parents met in “the industry” in Hollywood, and she grew up in front of the camera. In her teens, she began writing songs with Babyface and subsequently signed to his label, Arista Records.

But once she was out on tour… Caitlin realized she was destined for more. She didn’t care about the same things as other “normal” Hollywood girls. While they were focused on getting into the hottest club, she was dreaming about ending homelessness, participating in her church youth group, and helping people feel secure in their bodies by celebrating their flaws.

It all led to one fateful day, when a chance meeting with a young homeless couple would change everything… and lead her to start a spiritual enterprise business called The Giving Keys that would come to touch hearts across Los Angeles, and eventually the world…

… including the ultimate heart to be moved, that of Oprah Winfrey’s (!), naming Caitlin to her coveted list, her “Super Soul 100.”

Tune in for a dose of inspiration and a reminder that a life lived in service tends to be the happiest life of all.

Frank Parisi grew up in the mean streets of NYC, surviving a childhood in Little Italy around “made men” who didn’t use words to settle their arguments… they used baseball bats. Though he made it through his rough childhood alive, he wasn’t unscathed… 

He came out with two things: a high school sweetheart who would become his ride or die forever love (29 years and counting!)... and a nasty drug addiction that would almost take his life.

This story of overcoming one thing only to succumb to another seems to be a hallmark of Frank’s life. Just when he finally got his life on track, he was hit with another one-two punch: as he achieved (and began to really EMBRACE) sobriety, he started feeling… “unwell.”

Like… REALLY unwell.

A fleet of doctors couldn’t figure it out… in fact, they were milling about in his hospital room in hazmat suits, thinking it may have been… tuberculosis.

I know… tuberculosis???

Turns out it wasn’t tuburculosis… Frank’s heart was failing. Fast. And there was only one way to save him: he would need a heart transplant.

Needing an organ transplant is a weird thing, because it means that for you to live, you are waiting for someone else… to die.

Where Frank’s heart would come from would be the most intense part of his story yet… it’s almost too wild to believe.

Tune in to hear the story of a new heart that led to a new life… and a new spirit of gratitude that lit his flame so brightly, today he spends his life paying it forward… and changing the world.

Show Notes:

A big thank you to Frank for joining the podcast and sharing your inspiring story.

Jason Dennen worked in the financial industry… and if he was being honest, it was soul-crushing work. So when he discovered a love for a new hobby - skydiving, no less! - he was thrilled that he found something to help light him up again.

What he couldn’t have known was that, shortly, it would also nearly take his life when a rogue wind would blow him wildly off course, causing him to break 20 bones, live in a coma for eight days, and then remain in the hospital for over three months fighting for his life.

If the story ended there, it would be interesting enough… but alas…

What Jason did next was even more incredible.

After being told by his doctor he may never be able to walk again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon. Yup... a TRIATHLON!! Less than one year after the accident... he completed that triathlon and proved the doctor wrong. 

The long journey to recovery from the accident allowed him time to reassess the direction of his life and ask himself that critical question: "why was my life spared?" This second chance at life revealed to him a new purpose in life… and a new sense of gratitude.

From playing Annie on stages for children's theaters… to becoming a Heavy Metal radio host… to stepping into her “Fitness Barbie” era…… to becoming one of the most well-known and prolific speakers of our time… yup, it’s safe to say, Jen Gottlieb has done it ALL. And the one thing that underscores her journey… is an unquenchable desire to BE SEEN.

Jen Gottlieb had to lose it all before she could rebuild her dream life from scratch. An international speaker, powerhouse entrepreneur, and co-founder of Super Connector Media, Jen never doubted that she was meant for center stage, but she also never could have predicted the journey that an early passion for theater would take her on. From one leading role in the Broadway National Tour of The Wedding Singer to another on the hit VH1 TV series That Metal Show, Jen realized that achieving what she thought was her purpose had only left her feeling like a stranger to herself. 

Before long she knew that it was time to publicly inhabit her most challenging but fulfilling role yet on some of the world’s biggest stages: her true self.

We hear about Jen’s days as a Hooters’ girl (yup, that happened!), the harsh behind-the-scenes realities of touring a Broadway show, how daily ice baths taught her to make fear her friend, the prescient first four words her husband ever said to her, the unexpected night Jerry Seinfeld showed her the power of being seen as a beginner, and how everything had to fall apart before she could build her dream life and become the most authentic and grateful version of herself.

IN THIS EPISODE:

[01:17] Jamie introduces Jen Gottlieb.

[03:56] Jen starts to talk about her childhood & finding her purpose as an actress.

[05:57] Jen talks about working at Hooters, struggling with body image, and her eating disorder.

[10:03] Jen describes moving to NYC, manifesting her dream role, and discovering that her new lifestyle wasn’t everything she had imagined it would be. 

[18:35] Jen speaks of losing herself during the five years that she stayed on That Metal Show.

[20:56] Jen explains the beginning of becoming a personal trainer and how she truly learned discipline. 

[25:20] Jen begins to explain how she got her start as a public speaker.

[32:04] Jen talks about how she manifested/“created” her husband and ideal relationship.

[43:38] Jen describes her advice to manage fear and find the strength to take action.

[46:17] Jamie asks Jen to talk about her weekly ice plunge and why it’s an important part of her routine.

[52:03] Jen explains the intention of her Instagram “lives” every morning. 

[56:32] Jen speaks about her methods before going up on stage for her Keynote Presentations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

[18:13] Jen describes her belief that opportunities come your way when you are your most authentic self.

[32:11] Jen explains that she actualizes her desires by utilizing a vision board, shifting her beliefs, and stepping into actions that coincide with the reality of what she wants to attract to herself.  

[43:13] Jamie describes Jen’s practices for overcoming fear by asking herself how she’d want to feel after doing X thing: Regret…or Proud of Herself?
