  • Honest to Greatness | Peter Kozodoy Ep. 95

    “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters”

    Albert Einstein

    How honest are you?

    It’s a question we probably don’t think about often. Even further, I’m willing to bet your answer might not be in line with the truth.

    That’s the funny thing about honesty… It’s hard to be truthful with others if we’re not first being truthful with ourselves.

    Imagine just for a moment, the benefits of living in brutal honesty. Waking up each morning, washing down that “tough pill” with your morning coffee. What advances would you be able to make in your business, relationships, or life?

    If you were to ask my guest today, he’d tell you honesty is the key.

    Peter Kozodoy is the author of Honest to Greatness: How Today's Greatest Leaders Use Brutal Honesty to Achieve Massive Success, an Inc. 5000 serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and business coach. Brutal honesty is how Peter rolls.

    Missing his opportunity to be an Olympic figure skater and attend Harvard University at the age of 18, Peter had to find a new grasp on life. This process would involve painful truths and self-reflection.

    Brutal honesty would end up being the tool that allowed Peter and his business partner to build an Inc. 5000 marketing agency working with Fortune 500 companies, startups & Warren Buffett.

    This simple principle, though not so easy, is what Peter applies in his coaching and leadership training to help business owners and entrepreneurs reach their maximum potential. Peter says it’s all about being honest with our community, others, and most importantly ourselves.

    Take a listen as Peter and I unpack his adventure through business, life, writing the book, and more. We unpack the truth about honesty and get real on what it takes to be successful.

    You’ll be surprised at just how dis-honest you might be…

    P.S. My "Honesty Type" is Honest Challenger

  • Unlock The Creative Within You | Bryan Smith Ep. 94

    "Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun."

    Mary Lou Cook

    Let's talk about unlocking your creativity. Ask yourself this...

    What is it that scares you the most?

    Believe it or not, most people would say public speaking. It's an interesting fear considering there is little physical harm that can come about from doing it. (Compared to fear of heights which actually comes with a certain level of danger.)

    Why are we so afraid to put ourselves out there?

    Perhaps it's because public speaking, sharing our writing, or creative work, in general, is a truly vulnerable thing. We are literally sharing what's inside us and hoping that it's well-received. What's scarier than that!?

    My guest today, Bryan Smith is a trial attorney, musician, writer, and creator of DreamPath Podcast. On his podcast, Bryan explores the artistic journeys of musicians, filmmakers, writers, painters, and creatives of all types. You can imagine the amount of vulnerability his guests share with their audience.

    Bryan and I sat down to discuss how we could apply the skills of these creatives to the real world and push past our own limiting beliefs and unlock a life worth living. We all have creatives within us. It's just a matter of getting out of our own way.

    Join Bryan and me as we discuss the origin of fear and why it's so hard to share our work with others. We also explore ways to find our voice as a creative, fully jump into our craft, and finding ways to discover our unique identity.

    Whether you're a creative or not, there is a ton of value to gain from today's episode.

  • Adjust Your Focus To Learning | Jon Shoer Ep. 93

    "FORMAL EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A LIVING; SELF-EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A FORTUNE."

    Jim Rohn

    There's a difference between schooling and education. One teaches you how to fit into a system, follow instructions, and do as you're told. The other teaches you how to be creative, innovative, and think for yourself.

    Which one would you prefer to be? Even better, which one would you prefer to hire as a manager?

    I'll give you a minute to make up your mind…

    Did you make it? Good!

    If you're reading this, I hope you picked thinking for yourself and being innovative.

    Self-education is extremely important for anyone looking to get to the next level of their career or turn their side hustle/hobby into a stream of income. If you truly want to make a living at what you do or increase your income, you're going to have to increase your skills.

    My guest today is a sponge. Jon Shoer is the Experience Manager, Concept Development at The Walt Disney Company. He took a summer trip to LA, absorbed everything he could, and turned an opportunity into an exciting career. What started out as traveling the world filming and taking pictures of celebrities, natives in Haiti, bands, models, and more has turned into a full-time job with Disney.

    I've known Jon since college. We had some great times together and have always dreamed big. I'm personally not surprised one bit by the amazing work he's been able to create and can't wait to see what he does next.

    Hop into today's episode and listen as we discuss the importance of self-education and teaching ourselves new skills. Jon shares some of his challenges as a photographer, mistakes made along the way, and key steps on how to take your craft from a hobby to a career.

    You'll be ready to pick up a camera after this one.

  • Glow Through What You're Going Through | Katie DePaola Ep. 92

    "SOME BEAUTIFUL PATHS CAN'T BE DISCOVERED WITHOUT GETTING LOST."

    Erol Ozan

    I think there's is a trap that many of us fall into and never see coming.

    We work hard through school, graduate with a degree, and if we're lucky, land a job that pays the bills. Some of you may call this life. I call it a trap.

    I call it a trap because it often locks us into an endless loop that requires more effort and little movement. We work to support a life we barely get to enjoy because of how much we work.

    The worst is when you realize you're stuck, and you don't know how to get out. I think a lot of us can resonate with that feeling. Trust me, I've been there.

    The things you enjoy doing don't seem to make you much money so you do the things you have to do while sacrificing the things you love. Even further, because we never really commit ourselves to it, we never truly know if we're missing out on something big. It's exhausting!

    The process of finding ourselves and finding our purpose is a long and frustrating journey. Sadly, it's also why so many of us are hesitant to make that jump. It's scary to jump into the unknown and blaze a new path. So we stay stuck in the loop of life, waking up and doing it all over again.

    Here's the question, though… What if the choice is made for us? What if things got so bad or got to a point where taking action and making a change is the only choice we have?

    That's what it took for me to make a change and It's also what pushed today's guest, Katie DePaola, to not only find her purpose but to help thousands of other women find theirs as well.

    Going through treatment for Lyme Disease and losing her younger brother to an accidental overdose are just two examples of the countless challenges Katie had to overcome while building her company, Inner Glow Circle from nothing to a million-dollar business.

    Her story of grit, tenacity, and persistence is sure to encourage our female and male listeners alike. You'll hear her insights on how to pay attention to the breadcrumbs of your life while searching for your purpose, how to "glow through what you're going through"(Love that), and how to find the abundance of miracles that are hidden all around us.

    Katie also shares the perfect analogy of what it's like to emerge from your storm when she recalls seeing her first ray of sunshine during her dark times:

    "THERE WERE NONE AND THEN THERE WAS SO MANY."

    Katie DePaola, when referring to her rainbows.

    Hop into this truly "No Rain… No Rainbows" story as Katie takes us from when she felt like she was living someone else's life to now gaining "Solidity of Self." (a phrase she coins in this episode) You're sure to be inspired.

  • Staying Hopeful In Times Of Fear | J. Hope Suis Ep. 91

    "HOLD FAST TO DREAMS. FOR IF DREAMS DIE, LIFE IS A BROKEN-WINGED BIRD THAT CANNOT FLY."

    Langston Hughes

    They say it's always darkest before the dawn, but they never specify how long that darkness will last.

    If you're like me, you've lost count of how many days this pandemic has impacted our lives. Though some states are slowly starting to reopen and ease up on restrictions, there are still a number of people dealing with the very real and very impactful Covid-19.

    Whether it's a friend, family member, loved one, a colleague, or ourselves it's safe to say we are in some way connected to someone who has felt the brunt of this outbreak. If the sickness itself hasn't impacted you personally, you likely know someone who is feeling the financial strain this pandemic has put on the economy. No matter how you slice it, we're all feeling the effects of the Coronavirus.

    As we battle this invisible enemy, it's easy to lose sight of hope.

    I get it. Things have changed, routines are different, and we're not sure if things will ever truly go back to "Normal." However, there is still a lot of good around us and plenty to be hopeful for.

    Don't just take my word for it. Today's guest J. Hope Suis is the founder of Hope Boulevard which is a blog and website devoted to inspiration, motivation, and relationship advice. She encourages her readers to live their best lives now and offers insight and encouragement through her blogs and social media posts. (Sound familiar)

    J. Hope also authored a book that was published in 2017 titled Mid-Life Joyride: Love in the Single Lane. She has been cited in online magazines worldwide and I was lucky enough to connect with her over email and share a conversation via Zoom.

    Take a listen as J. Hope walks us through ways we can hold on to hope during times of fear and the steps we can take to fully grasp control of our lives.

  • Discovering The Real You | Dante Duval Barfield Ep. 90

    "Identity cannot be found or fabricated but emerges from within when one has the courage to let go."

    Doug Cooper

    Negative self-talk, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs are sure to suppress the true potential that lies within us all.

    When we're young we quickly learn what the environment around us deems acceptable. Instinctually we mold our identity into what we THINK this environment would want to see. As time goes on, we forget to explore a reason why.

    When we do this, we are bound to fall into a life that is different than what we want. Notice I didn't say worse. There are a lot of people working great jobs, making good money, wondering why they still don't feel fulfilled.

    It may be because fulfillment comes from within, not without.

    My guest today, Dante Duval Barfield knows all about that pressure.

    He is a licensed professional counselor based out of the city of Philadelphia. Dante's therapy background is based on diversity, identity, and trauma. Rather than pathologies our life experience, he explores how all of our identities and past intersect within the realms of mental health.

    This is only the current chapter in a story that started with uncertainty and exploration. Growing up as an African American in Philadelphia, cue Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, attention to mental health was taboo, to say the least.

    It's a feeling I'm sure many of us can relate too. We get caught up in the aesthetics of who we think we're supposed to be and forget to explore the things we actually like. Dante accurately observes a cycle we've all likely fallen into at some point in our lives when he says:

    "I Was Hiding Who I Really Was."

    Dante Duval Barfield

    The hard part about getting out of such a confined situation is the battle that happens within. Many of us get stuck, unable to hit that reset button, fearful of what's waiting for us on the other side. This is where Dante also says we need to reframe our thinking.

    "It's not resetting. It's Upgrading"

    Dante Duval Barfield

    I like the idea of upgrading who we are rather than the thought of starting over, don't you?

    Instead of remaining paralyzed in the fear of starting over, what if we simply added to the foundation of who we've become so far? Just like the caterpillar secludes itself into darkness before emerging as a butterfly, you too are allowed to change.

    Let's call it; You 2.0

    Dante takes us to therapy in this one, and I mean that in the best way possible. Hop into the episode and join us as we discuss letting go of our trauma, being fair when we compare ourselves to others, and fully embracing and being okay with who we are!
