The Insomnicat Show

On this episode of The Insomnicat Show, we have the pleasure of welcoming back Damon Brown, a "non-traditional entrepreneur", author and speaker, who will be talking about the resources we all have and how to figure out which one is our most dominant so we can create our world.

We'll chat about concepts like

- moving upstream and why this is so detrimental for many.

- the game plan for time and key tactics to strengthening and setting boundaries

- Energy full vs energy challenged—regardless of which we fall into how we handle this effectively

Our biggest hurdle today isn’t finding the right hack to more output, but understanding that accepting our limitations actually improves our results. The follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Bring Your Worth, Build From Now shows how each and every one of us has four different resources: focus, agility, time, and energy. We have more or less of each, depending on where we are in our lives.

Know your strengths and you’ll be able to be productive, creative, and inspired. Forever.

Like Damon Brown’s best-selling Bite-Sized Entrepreneur series, Build From Now shows you how to take the resources you have already have to help create the world you want to see.

On this episode of The Insomnicat Show we chat with Lindsay Blount, a Doctoral student at William & Mary and Assistant to the Dean. She's also a military spouse, a photographer AND writing a book about identity at its roots. She's got a story to share--

Months ago (in the midst of a pandemic) she discovered she's donor conceived and has 18 siblings-- all from DNA test result on a Saturday afternoon in May. Already in the midst of a pandemic, this was heavy news. She then figured out who the Donor is and it sent her through an identity crisis spiral. Her biodad is incredibly prominent and in the public eye in his state and he wants nothing to do with her or my siblings.

Through that, she has learned that identity is not fixed, rather it’s completely a growth mindset. As she puts it, we can literally learn through our identity, even when the roots of our ancestral tree have been unearthed and we are identity-less for a bit. Listen in to her story about the beauty of freedom from crisis on the other side of all of this and she shares her story and how she's worked through this.

This will be a very inspirational and touching episode that makes us all think about identity differently.
