In this conversation with reinvention coach Erin Minogue, we talk about living with integrity, helping people come home to themselves, truly challenging the "truths" we’ve been believing, and how to truly reclaim our humanity.

Erin was an educator for 20 years who found herself working 100-hour work weeks, and after a big wake up call, she realized she’d lost her humanity somewhere along the way. Now, using her unique tools and experiences,  Erin helps people recover and rediscover the truth of who they really are so they are free to go and make the contribution in the world that only they can.

She's hailing to us today from New South Wales Australia, and she’s here to encourage you to ask yourself: am I truly living the life I triumphantly signed myself up for?

After listening to this episode, ask yourself:

• If I found myself on my death bed looking back, would I be proud of the truths I was standing for?
• Where are some areas in my life where my comfort might be convincing me that it’s the only way?
•  Am I living the life I triumphantly signed myself up for?
  
  

ABOUT ERIN MINOGUE
Erin Minogue lived a life as normal and ordinary as one can be. She was a rule follower, a good girl, a do-all-the-right-things-all-the-time, people pleaser.  She followed the pre-set path.

She got the career. She got the money. She arrived at the success mark that the world defined for her and assured her was there. She climbed the ladder...

And then she fell after a completely blindsiding accident involving a family member. Life had to shake her awake. She realised she'd been living a life that wasn't hers. She'd become a body in a place.  She was cold, robotic and had long forgotten how to feel. 

Finding herself typing into google, ' How do I find my soul?' She made a promise to herself that when she found it, she would never give it up again. That decision uncovered a truth that she had never truly known before; all that we ever were and can be, and the only thing we should never lose,.... is being human. Our human. 

We were meant to stand on this earth as no one but ourselves and that is now how she helps the women she works with. Using her unique tools,  Erin helps them recover and rediscover the truth of who they really are so they are free to go and make the contribution in the world that only they can.

“You don't know the impact you could have in the world just by waking up today.”

Gary Hirsch is on the podcast today to remind us of the little ways we can make a huge impact in the world — just by being ourselves — and how approaching life with an improv mindset can transform your life in countless ways.

As a global joy artist, Gary has dedicated much of his career and life to using art to help us feel more human, while bringing more joy and less fear into the world.

As a child, Gary's father helped him to release the monsters that visited him at night – by putting a pencil in his hand and encouraging Gary to get the monsters out of his head and onto paper. His father's mantra, "If you can make it, you can make it go away" inspired him to develop Botjoy, a global art movement designed to spread joy, courage, love, and gratitude.

I personally get to enjoy seeing Gary's bot art all over Portland, and because it's adorned with phrases like "What inspires you?" and "What brings you joy?" – you know he's a guest you're going to adore as much as I do.

In this episode, you'll learn:
How to use Gary's idea of "Let go. Notice more. Use everything." to transform your day-to-day life in very practical ways.

Takeaway questions to consider for yourself:

• How can I have more of an improv mindset? How can I let go, notice more, and use everything in situations in my life?
• What is one thought I'm currently making in my head that I could also make go away? 

ABOUT GARY & THE BOTS
Gary is also a renowned visual artist, muralist, and the creator of Botjoy, an exploration of how art can be surprising, delightful, and helpful. Botjoy has evolved into a global art movement designed to spread joy, courage, love, and gratitude, one hand-painted robot at a time. Thousands of domino robots have been painted by Gary and others who have taken up his invitation to "steal his idea." 

You can find bots left randomly on streets all around the world as a gift for strangers to find, in children's hospital to help young patients feel braver, and in classes rooms and studios all over the world as other's make bots for their community. Gary's public art commissions can be found in Dallas, New Orleans, Phoenix, Madrid, London, Melbourne (Australia), and in his hometown of Portland, Oregon.

Gary is also the co-founder at On Your Feet a collision of business, art, and science that harnesses the power of experience and interactive learning to transform organizational culture and behavior. In his consulting role, Gary works (virtually and live) with fortune 500 companies such as Uber, Nike, Intel, Disney, and others.

Are you doing things that fully support your highest, most creative self?

Many people aren’t. In fact, most folks are just living life as it comes at them, instead of taking the reigns and steering our day-to-day in a way that supports our highest selves. 

In this episode, I share some thoughts on how you can begin to let go of the negative things you’re hanging onto so you can welcome in more of the bubbly, deliciousness your mind and body are craving.

When faced with unexpected unemployment at the beginning of 2020, Danielle Harmon could have sat around and whined. Instead, she decided to wine.

Today, Danielle and her husband Ken own Alzavino Wine Tavern, a thriving wine bar in the charming Delano District in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. Deciding to go all in on their dreams during a global pandemic isn't easy, and in this episode, Danielle shares the struggles she faced with honesty, vulnerability,  and a little pour of humor.

Listen to this episode to learn how to prepare yourself today for being an entrepreneur in the future, how to turn red lights into green lights, and some practical advice for living a life as resilient as her own.

Danielle is someone I've long looked up to, and as an employee at the company we worked at, I was once pretty intimidated by her. She's a no B.S. kind of gal who tells it as she sees it, and it's one of the things I love most about her. I can't wait for you to listen to this extra juicy episode. :)

Takeaway questions to consider for yourself:

• How might asking my silly question help someone else?
• What courageous thing can I do that might give someone else some courage, too?
• What if I were to do this now?

ABOUT DANIELLE AND HER WINE TAVERN
As the owners of Alzavino Wine Tavern, Danielle and her husband, Ken, get to share their passion for community, friendships, and wine. Their goal is to create something special for any wine drinker, and with sixteen different wines on tap, it's easy to find your flavor or discover something new. Outside of her role at Alzavino, you'll find Danielle encouraging others to take care of themselves both physically and mentally, spending time with her family, and taking in life to the fullest.

How often do you sit in discomfort because you’re not willing to ask for what you need?

In this episode, you'll hear all about a crappy lesson (a really crappy lesson) I learned when I chose to sit in discomfort instead of speaking up, and what you can do instead when faced with a similar situation.

Enjoy!

Takeaway questions to consider for yourself:

• When faced with a situation where I’m uncomfortable asking for something, what emotions am I feeling?
• Are there any examples I can think of where I’ve gotten into a crappy situation because I didn’t speak up and ask for something?

I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation with Matt Bragstad,  a mentor and source of inspiration during my own career transition. Matt is one of those people who lights up a room, and after every conversation I have with him, I feel like I can conquer the world. He’s had such a unique career path, having used his own strengths to traverse the structured, rigid corporate world with a seemingly magical ease. Some call him the caffeinated unicorn, and you’re about to hear why. 

Enjoy this episode, and be sure to check out the takeaways:

• Find every opportunity to overachieve.
• Find mentors - both people you like and people you don’t like.
• Be okay with making mistakes.
• Find your own secret sauce and start finding ways to share it.
• When you start to run out of gas, stop and go get inspired.
• Stop wasting your creative energy writing stories that aren’t true.
• Find people who give you energy and connect with them.

Matt’s book list:

• The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, by Don Miguel Ruiz
• StrengthsFinder 2.0, by Tom Rath
• The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson
• Leadership and Self Deception, by Arbinger Institute 
• Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool's Guide to Surviving with Grace, by Gordon MacKenzie

ABOUT MATT BRAGSTAD

Matt is a speaker, inspirator, and strategic advisor and VP at Alight WorkLife. Prior to taking on his new role, he worked as VP, head of vision and chief storyteller at Infor. Matt has used his unique blend of natural leadership, strategy, contagious energy and creativity to forge new paths in the corporate world. Matt lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his family. When he’s not busy making the corporate world awesome, he’s probably consuming a book or searching for waterfalls for his photo gallery.

Did you know that one of the most effective tools for boosting your creativity is in your feet?

And you don't even have to be any good at using it to get it to work.

Dance is a super fast way to boost your feel-good energy, taking less than 30 seconds to become effective. So whether you're about to walk into a group brainstorm, a job interview, a big meeting, or a negotiation, moving your body is the best way to get all that nervous energy unstuck and into motion, putting you in a state of mind that allows for more on-your-toes thought processing (aka creativity.)

It sounds so simple, and it is. I dance before every single podcast recording. In fact, I hadn't planned to record this episode at all, but was so fired up from my pre-recording dance sesh that I decided to share about it. Enjoy, and I hope you try it out!

Takeaway activity from this episode

• Just Dance!
  • Think of a situation or event in your life that stresses you out  (like a job interview, visit with your mother-in-law, or that awful 4 p.m. Friday meeting someone keeps putting on your calendar) 
  • Prior to showing up next time, put on a great jam and throw yourself a dance party!
  • Seriously let loose.
  • No, c’mon. Seriously LET LOOSE. Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care. Shake your hips. Jump up and down. Flail your arms. Power pose.
