June 29, 2015 Ep83: An Introduction to Mind Hacking with Sir John Hargrave
Before I started The Introvert Entrepreneur, I called my coaching business “Intentional Talk.” It was my way of saying “empowering language” which is basically about choosing our words – especially in our self-talk – carefully. So instead of “I should” we say “I want” or instead of “I’m no good at that,” we say “I’m learning to become better.” Our words have power, and nowhere is that more true than the words that originate in our minds.

In this episode, we dive a bit deeper into how to shift the way we think and the words we use to talk about our situation and ourselves. Our expert is Sir John Hargrave, CEO of Media Shower, the world's premiere content marketing company. His new book "Mind Hacking: How to Change Your Mind for Good in 21 Days," about how to reprogram your mind and change your life, is available from Simon and Schuster's Gallery Books in January 2016 or as a preview ebook at www.mindhacki.ng.

June 08, 2015 Ep82: Playing to Your Introvert Strengths with Casey Lightbody
If you've been a listener or blog reader for a while, you might know that I'm not a fan of all this "step outside your comfort zone" stuff. At least, here's what I'm not a fan of: shaming our comfort zones and acting as if they are hotbeds of laziness and stagnation. So that's why I love this conversation with Casey Lightbody of Cloud Marketing Services and the Empowered Women Revolution. She talks about our comfort zone as a place to operate out of, to let our strengths become even stronger. We also touch on the power of developing your personal brand, letting go of perfectionism, and how she sees herself as moving from being more extroverted to being more introverted.
Casey Lightbody supports women with small voices but big dreams to
step up and fulfill their extraordinary potential. She is the founder of the
Empowered Women Revolution, an organization whose mission is to help sensitive
and quiet women find their voices, rock their businesses, and love their lives.

May 29, 2015 Ep81: The Power of Perserverance: A Conversation with Pat Willmot of Great Pretenders
It’s not every day I get to
talk to the leader of a company that has a growing global presence and is in
the midst of lots of organizational change. So when Pat Willmot reached out to
me about Great Pretenders, I was immediately interested in her story.
We talk
about the evolution of her journey with Great Pretenders, what it was like in
those early years when they had big dreams and little experience, and how
they've grown into a company that serves customers worldwide. And of course, we
spend some time talking about what role introversion has played in Pat's
professional life.
Patricia Willmot is
currently the president and CEO of Great Pretenders, an award-winning
children's costume organization. Great Pretenders was started in 1989 and is an
umbrella of Creative Education, an organization that is committed to promoting
child education and development through pretend play.

May 06, 2015 Ep80: Yes, And and Beyond: A Conversation with Improv Pioneer Bob Kulhan
Stand up in front of a group. No
script. No prep. No rules. This is improv in a way. Its not quite as scary
as that, even though that set-up is likely to send many an introvert
running in the opposite direction. And in fact, what looks like a completely
spontaneous improv situation actually DOES have rules, and there are ways to
prepare yourself. Sure, theres no script, but life doesnt have a script, so
who needs one?
Ive spoken several times over the
years about the power of improv and how it can be a transformative tool for
introverts. In this episode, I talk to one of the first people to put the
principles of improv together with the world of business.
Bob Kulhan is an Adjunct Professor of
Business Administration for The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University as
well as an Adjunct Professor of Business for Columbia Business School, Columbia
University. He also is the CEO of Business Improvisations. BI is a world-class leader in
developing experiential learning programs for businesses.
Bob and I start by defining improv (it might not be what you think!), then talk about how it has grown to be an exciting alternative to traditional professional development offerings. He also offers some basic improv principles you can use to make networking more enjoyable, as well as tips for getting yourself off the mental hamster wheel.

April 15, 2015 Ep79: Keys to a Successful Product Launch with Betsy Talbot
How does a solitude-loving introvert launch a new product? And what if that product is in a new-to-her category that requires vulnerability and high creativity?
That's the place Betsy Talbot found herself when she accepted the challenge to write her first romance novel. She committed to not only writing the first novel, but quickly found that she had a series on her hands! I met Betsy about five years
ago, just before she left Seattle with her husband to embark on a world
traveling adventure. Even though our introduction was brief, I was instantly
inspired by her energy and go-for-it attitude. So it’s with great pleasure that I
welcome her to the podcast for a conversation about the latest twist in her
entrepreneurial journey.
Betsy Talbot is a 40-something
traveler and author. When she’s not traveling or penning books about love,
adventure, and self-discovery, she is hiking, learning flamenco dancing, and
drinking wine in a tiny whitewashed village in Spain.
Betsy is the coauthor of four books
with her husband Warren Talbot, and they also co-hosts of the popular weekly
podcast, Married with Luggage. (side note: I interviewed Betsy and Warren
together in 2014 – look for episode 66 on my website).
Her latest project is The Late
Bloomers Series, a 5-book romance series about women in their 40s. Because
women with experience make the best characters…in life and on the page.

March 13, 2015 Ep78: How to Procrastinate on Purpose with Rory Vaden
If there’s one thing I hear over and over again from my clients, it’s
that they want to overcome procrastination. The web is overflowing with
posts, podcasts and X-step programs to fix the procrastination epidemic
that's running rampant.
But what if the answer wasn't to "fix"
it, but to find a way to shift our relationship with it? My guest is
Self-Discipline Strategist Rory Vaden. His book Take the Stairs
is a #1 Wall St Journal, #1 USA Today, and #2 New York Times
bestseller. As an award-winning entrepreneur and business leader, Rory
co-founded Southwestern Consulting™ and
is founder of The Center for the Study of Self-Discipline (CSSD). His
latest book is called Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to
Multiply Your Time.
Rory
is the world’s leader on defining the psychology around modern-day
procrastination, called Priority Dilution™ - in fact, he coined the
term. He speaks and consults on how to say no to the things that don’t
matter, and yes to the things that do.Rory and I talk about the secrets
of time multipliers, getting over introvert overthinking, and making
friends with procrastination once and for all.
