Mic Drop Moments

🎤Craig at (03:38) - In the beginning I’m trying to make a name for myself and make an impact most importantly. At first it was tough to get big names. But you stay persistent. You always back it up with good content. You gotta have good content. That’s a good full time job in itself. So a couple of celebrities said yes then all of a sudden another one said yes. Now it’s a cool thing to be on the show. Now they are reaching out to us for exposure. So It goes just to show you how much can change in just a year’s time if you stick to the vision and you commit.

🎤Craig at (05:08) - My top three guests that I wanted to have on the show. I didn't give myself a time frame because I understand things take time. Ultimately I wanted to have The Rock, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ed Mylett on. And we crossed off the list by the way.

🎤Craig at (08:40) - Confidence is a skill that can be developed and when you start to feel confident, you start to feel worthy. So I always like to say this to the audience and to a lot of my clients whenever they feel like that. I say three words “Why not you?”

🎤Craig at (13:45) - You’re never gonna regret showing up and not performing your best but you will absolutely regret not showing up. Taking messy action is good as long as you take action in the first place.

🎤Mark at (14:08) - Nobody is going to take action on you if you are not going to take action on yourself.

🎤Trevor at (14:40) - There is no such thing as perfect. Stop trying to reach perfection. There is no perfect y’all. Look at this. We spend thousands of dollars on all this stuff and still mistakes happen. So quit expecting it to be perfect and just take action like you’re talking about. It’s not gonna be perfect ever.

🎤Craig at (16:28) - We have control of how we want to choose our thinking. Positive thoughts, empowering thoughts. This creates brand new unbelievable abundant beliefs and essentially that creates whole new results and a whole new life for ourselves. So that is what I mean by inner experience. The inner work creates the outer work.

When the pandemic happened, Craig left his lucrative & stable job on Wall Street and went all in with his passion and purpose to help people revamp their mindset & alter their perspective.

Mic Drop Moments

🎤Craig at (03:46) - When you perform a kind act, or you step out of your comfort zone and do something that cultivates kindness, you actually release serotonin, which is the natural chemical in your body to produce bliss and happiness. But here is the kicker. The person doing the kind act releases the serotonin and also the person receiving it does as well. So you kill two in one stone.

🎤Foster at (06:04) - Attitude determines altitude.

🎤Craig at (09:32) - Thoughts are random, thinking is not.

🎤Craig at (15:05) - My biggest fear was not taking that shot and going back to something that did not make me happy.

Mic Drop Moments

🎤Heather at (04:10) - The most successful people in the world getting fired was the pivotal moment in their life. So what I’m gonna say to you, if you haven’t been fired, get yourself fired.

🎤Heather at (09:54) - if I wasn’t in the market, in meetings face to face with my team, I wouldn’t get the same response. I started sending out cardboard cutouts of myself only to make them laugh and to make them remember “ Hey, I’m here with you. I might not be in the building today, but I’m here with you in spirit.”

🎤Heather at (11:20) - Show up as yourself. I don’t get caught up in this well so-and-so is not gonna like you then that’s not my person, that's not my job.

🎤Heather at (11:52) - Somewhere there is a room where there is a chair available for you to sit where they are cheering. They are going to be excited to have you there. They are going to say “Turn up your light. Bring your crazy antics. We are your people.” So find your people, show up as you.

🎤Heather at (12:50) - The worst villain that you’re ever going to encounter is the one that lies between your own two ears.

🎤Heather at (14:55) - Take action immediately. I was fired, I distilled the belief and I said “Okay, I need an action step.” Boom! I’m gonna go to social media and I’m gonna post - I have just been fired. If I have ever helped you at all in the past 14 years, I need to hear from you now.

🎤Heather at (15:56) - Never ask people who haven’t been where you are going for directions and that step three.

🎤Heather at (16:55) - The only way to truly extinguish shame is to shine a light on it. The minute you do that, you are not held back by shame anymore. You claim the shame, instead of allowing the shame to claim you.

🎤Mark at (17:25) - So many of us get wrapped in our work identity that we forget about or we fail to be able to recognize who we really are. And who we really are is who we are to the people that matter most to us.

🎤Heather at (20:18) - You could be the most generous person in the world, the nicest person in the world but there is a thing about being taken advantage of. There is a thing called not having boundaries. Putting yourself first and creating boundaries and holding them is a nice thing to do for you.
