Third Chances

Did you ever feel that someone's resume is long enough for several lifetimes? I did when I first saw today's guest, Leland Duyck’s achievements – and in his 70s, he is nowhere near done yet!

His secret to this successful approach to life: When we were kids, If we wanted something, we worked for it. So when I saw something, I wasn’t afraid to try. I never had that fear of failing. If he ever ran into an issue or complained, his dad would say: “Just put your big boy's pants on and get it over with!”

It’s humbling to meet someone so incredibly successful, yet remaining a modest and generous human being. And, when you listen to his story, his life story was far from a smooth ride. But with his work ethic, faith, determination, and great dad’s lessons (he instilled discipline and toughness into his children), Leland not only survived but went to the top numerous times throughout his professional career.

This was an incredibly moving episode – and I challenge you to listen to the whole thing without reaching for a box of tissues! I had a hard time editing this episode with my eyes focused.

We spoke about

Leland Duyck is a former Orthopedic Surgical Physician Assistant, Founder/Co-Owner of a retail chain of back stores, and a Global DME/Orthopedic Sports Medicine Distribution Company for 21 years. He was also a Partner and Executive Director of Sales for 2 separate Global Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Manufacturing Facilities that were each built for 10-year stints and then sold. That is on top of his Cattle ranch that he operates alone, aside from a seasonal help he may hire for projects. At the age when others prepare for retirement, he shifted his attention to a groundbreaking technology that gave him his life back and is now a Global leader, Motivator, and Educator in the Redox Technology Field. Leland became an ASEA Triple Diamond Executive in a record 14 months. That might be the fastest achievement in the history of the company.

He has earned several awards since and entered an ASEA Millionaire Earners Club.

Tonight's interview is with a special man, Dan Doyle, one of my biggest inspirations. I'm so grateful to have the privilege to finally meet him in person last week in Dallas - and now to interview him on my upcoming podcast episode of Third Chances.

His stunning story is the main reason why I do what I do today. His determination, and open mind to try anything and not to give up, brought him literally back to life.

Imagine being an insanely successful businessman – a professional athlete, a competing bodybuilder, running and selling multiple businesses within 20 years.

Only to be brought to your knees suddenly, by completely unexpected a challenge.

Imagine doing everything right, listening to your doctors, 2 and a half years of hospital visits, only to be told to get your affairs in order!

What do you do when all else fails?

His story hits close to my heart - because as many of you know, we were in this situation with my husband, about 2.5 years ago. Tragically, we didn't find the solution fast enough, and I lost him in a short period of time. I always wonder - if I knew about this then, would this have made a difference for my husband?

Today Dan says, “I live my every day now as if it was my last one”

He was very open about his journey and we talked about:

His love (or escape) for sports, and bodybuilding, and how he ended up competing professionally

“Have you ever been called a legend? What’s a legend? It’s an ordinary person who has done extraordinary things!” Dan Doyle


Not only is he now a vital, healthy, young man, he's achieved what he would never have imagined in his wildest dreams, just a decade ago. 


Dan Doyle is
ASEA PRESIDENTIAL DIAMOND
ASEA 2018 Million Dollar Earners Club
ASEA 2017 Business Builder Award
ASEA 2017 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award
ASEA 2016 Emerging Leader of the Year

Today I have a really inspiring and uplifting conversation with Chicago native Claudia Braun, who helps women (notorical people pleasers), to finally say Unapologetically YES to themselves. What a concept! Aren't we all??

Claudia uses yoga, tapping, and other powerful tools to coach and help women overcome what stays in their way, and finally make changes in their lives that lead to healthier, happier, and more fulfilled paths.

Here are some points we talked about - and more: 

Claudia invites us to her 10-week group: Inner Circle Reconnect to Spirit, and Unapologetically Prioritize YOU 

Her gift to our audience is a free meditation for stressful times to have a clear path to move beyond their inner discord to be able to feel inner peace and flourish.

Here’s the link

I planned a different show for today but then, I had a little exchange with someone on social media. Not really a troll (as we know them) but nevertheless he got me thinking. 

What is driving people to express their enormous displeasure or disagreement with someone else, on their OWN FB platform?  Why do they have a need to challenge everything someone says as their own truth is different? Why even after multiple kind attempts to respect his opinion, he goes on and on, with the need to mock and ridicule the other opinion because just HIS opinion is the right one?
  The reason I felt compelled to address it here is that it wasn't even about my own opinion. It was about a friend's post, one I respect and admire. 

Unlike the guy who nobody knows, she has the credentials and expertise to be talking about the subject. When does different opinion stop - and disrespect begins? 

Why someone who claims to have achieved "inner peace" is compelled to argue on a public platform with no end? If he really did, I don't believe that exchange would be the same.

Yes, I got involved, in part to support my friend and her very kind and innocent post. It's a short episode, but one that's like a social experiment, addressing an exchange of opinions and how we may or may not have open minds about different perspectives of others.

I would love it if you reach out and give me your own take on this. I would love to know what you think!

    Have a great night!  

This is a short promo announcing tomorrow's episode - release at 9:00 PM EST on Wednesday.

Tonight we're talking about life without limits. What does it mean to you, what do you feel you're limited with right now, and what can we do to change that? What's holding you back the most - the health, the finances, or the most valuable real estate between your ears? What's preventing you from living your best possible life?

I'm talking about 7 human needs - we all have all those, but each of us has one much more important than another.

I talk about finding out your most important human need to understand why you do certain things, what you respond to, how you can have that pressing need met, and what drives you.
I don't want to waste another minute. Life is too precious. 

I'm inviting fellow widows to our support circle Vera's Triumph Club where we are for each other, helping every one of us not just get through the difficulties but grow into our best selves. Every month we have another lesson that helps us cope with the most present issues to move us forward. 

No one can have a better, deeper understanding about what you're going through, than another widow. No need to do it alone. Pain is inevitable, but the suffering is optional. 

Reach out and schedule a talk with me. Let's chat if we're the right crowd for you that can support you on your own journey!

Let's schedule a time to have a coffee together:


 

In today's episode meet Patricia Ann, a self-proclaimed life-adventurer who has roller-coastered through the highs and lows, even tangoing with the unexpected! From conquering challenges to facing the knockout punch of losing her husband, she's the master of bouncing back.

Patricia shares her journey from rock bottom to triumphant recovery, all sprinkled with her unique humor and wisdom. So get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions and inspiration!

This is the first but not the last time we will be getting to know Patricia Ann. I want to talk to her about her amazing numerology talent - and trust me, you would like to know as well! The way she prepared a profile on me based on my numbers was mind-boggling! It went into such detail, I have never seen anything like that.

But I will leave that for another episode in the future, today we spoke about:

Tonight’s show is special in many ways. How often do you get to talk to a member of a multi-million dollar club, that is completely open, humble, and ready to extend a helping hand to anybody? Who lives his purpose, building the legacy and impact most of us would only dream of? Ed Wiens built a global business (likely a few times), lost it all, and built again. 

I had the privilege to meet Ed Wiens a few times in person, and every time he spoke from the stage, he captivated the room.

He masters the art of influencing people with stories and good reframing. He knows it stays with the audience much better than dry facts and figures. It sure does. Every story he ever told, stuck with me. And since he’s a son of missionary parents, and he followed in their footsteps, it offers some explanation about his character and honor.

Before we started recording, I asked if there was anything off-limits – and he assured me that he was an open book. I truly appreciate it because every time I’m around him, I know I’m going to learn something valuable. I hope you will feel the same way after listening to our conversation.




We spoke about:

You see the glory, but you don’t know the story

When you go through hell, don’t stop! 

There is no comeback without a setback

Never doubt your beliefs, and never believe your doubts


The book Mr. Wiens recommended that influenced his life is now out of print but possibly you can get it on Amazon – The Ten Best-kept Secrets of Total Success
Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley

These 2 episodes were a long time coming. I realized I still owe you my own Reinvention story to share and this is the 2nd part.

If you didn't catch the beginning, please go to episode 19 first, so you get to context and full scope... What shaped my life the way it is today, and what shaped me into the woman I am today? Yes, I walked a long, long way since my life in a small village in the Czech Republic.

My parents never left the country, never saw an ocean, never owned a passport, and never saw anything else than the small neighborhood they were born in. In that sense, I guess I did better. I gained perspective, learned to live in other countries, learned new languages, experienced remarkable experiences, and achieved what would be unimaginable to them.

Each of us has plenty of defining moments throughout our lives. I call them intersections - those that require a decision about which is the right path next. Some of these decisions we may face almost daily – but a few are major, and they will shape our lives going forward.

I chose 5 major shifts that forced me to reinvent whatever I knew to be true, change a course, and adapt to the cards I was dealt with. I'm grateful for those moments now, but there were times when it was hard to imagine I would survive them.

We all come to situations when we need to remind ourselves of those strong moments in our history. Especially when facing something hard, when you feel like the world is coming down on you, you're bearing all the weight, when you can't make a decision or move on. It pays to stop, sit back, and remind yourself that YES - there were super hard moments in your life before.

And not only you survived it, but you also turned it around, and found the strength to change course. And you're likely a better person for it. It will remind you of your power and influence. That's the whole reason I do this podcast - sharing stories that turned someone's life upside down - and what seemed like an impossible obstacle turned into a great new opportunity.

Today I'm sharing the remaining 3 key moments from my life (at least so far). The last one is still the hardest to adapt. I'm being an open book - no filter, emotions and all. I hope it will serve you to remember who you once were, and what you accomplished. That should always be the only reason for looking back.

Tune in tonight, and let me know what you think. If you feel inspired, please share this episode with someone who may need to hear it! I will be really grateful if you leave a review - it helps to move this podcast up in the charts. Today's show is audio only.
