The Innovative Mindset

A mini rant on one tiny shift that can change everything.

How can you find out the work your deepest self really wants to be doing? This episode offers ideas on how to figure it out and start moving towards it.

Two things you can do to ease the holiday season

The holiday season is supposed to be about fun, friends, and family. But often it's fatiguing, fast, and frantic.

Here are two things you can do to make the holiday season more pleasant and easier to handle. They're simple and basic and they'll work.

If you're enjoying the show, please consider leaving a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. It would mean the world to me.

OK, let's get to it!

Get Your Stuff Done!

My sixth book comes out this week!

In today's episode, I explore the power of 3 and celebrate the upcoming release of my latest book. It's more a journal and project planner than a book per se. It's my system on how to get your stuff done. I developed it so I could be more productive in my hyper-stimulated world. Then, I tested it with 30 volunteers who helped me improve it. And then, I did a six-month mastermind to iron out the last kinks. The result is the Get Your Stuff Done Journal and Project Planner.

It comes out sometime this week. I'll post a link in the https://IzoldaT.com/GYSD/ page when the book is ready. In the meantime, here's the cover. I love how it evokes that feeling of achievement. It's not through luck. It's through diligence, work, and focus. But you still get to the top of the mountain. And that's the best feeling!

Comedian Chris Griggs

Chris joins me to talk comedy and teaching the next generation of stand-up comics.

This was an exciting and inspiring conversation. Listen to Chris' thoughts on what it takes to succeed as a stand-up comic, how to teach stand-up, and his own journey as a performer.

Find Chris.

Encouraging Courage Through Stand-up Comedy

Welcome to the last week of student interviews from the Intro to Stand-up Comedy class I took at the People's Improv Theater in New York City, NY. 

These three delightful comedians shared their journeys, fears, wins, and processes in getting to the stage. Plus, they kindly shared some of their sets so you can hear them directly!

One of the things I've loved about this series is that several of the people came back multiple times so you can hear their process as they develop and grow. It will inspire you and make you laugh.

Next week, I'll have the pleasure of welcoming comedian Chris Griggs to the show to talk performing and teaching stand-up comedy. But for now, enjoy Kyriaki, Tom, and Molly's thoughts and experiences.

How the Big Show Went, part 1

We did it! We had our big stand-up comedy class show. To commemorate the event, the fab class agreed to give you a taste of their sets.

So, take a listen as this episode's four guests give you their immediate reactions to how things went. And as a bonus, you'll get to hear snippets of their stand-up sets.

And next week, you'll hear from even more people. Remember some of these folks aren't performers. But they jumped in and gave it all they had. Listen in to hear how they dealt with nervousness, public speaking, and sharing what they think is funny to an audience.
