Winning is all about setting and achieving goals that align with your personal values. This week, host Mackenzie Kilshaw has invited a renowned personal human potential coach, Kamini Wood, to shed light on how understanding oneself on a deeper level can lead to living up to one's full potential. Kamini provides thought-provoking insights on setting meaningful goals based on personal values and needs, steering clear of arbitrary goal-setting, and the importance of self-awareness in this process. 

Have you ever found yourself stuck while working towards a goal? Kamini navigates us through this common challenge, encouraging us to reconnect with ourselves and take meaningful actions. We also answer the often-unaddressed question: Is it okay to pivot or change goals? Spoiler alert - it’s a part of the learning and growth process. Kamini also shares her perspective on attaching bonuses or rewards to goals, but remember, they must align with our values!

We conclude our enlightening session with Kamini by discussing the importance of celebrating victories, big or small, and practicing self-compassion when we fail to reach our goals. We also tackle the significance of outsourcing tasks that are not your forte and how it can lead to growth and success in the long haul. Kamini leaves us with a powerful message - the ultimate goal for any entrepreneur should stem from their deeper "why". Join us for this inspiring episode and learn how to set meaningful goals and unlock your full potential in your business journey.

Have you ever navigated through an unforeseen life-altering event and emerged stronger? Join us as we chat with AJ Amyx, a top coach at Social Glow, who has indeed turned adversity into resilience. AJ started his journey as a successful musician, however, his life took a sudden turn when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. This experience not only reshaped AJ's perspective about life but also influenced his shift from a performance-based identity to a value-based one.

AJ's story is not just about surviving life's unexpected changes, but about thriving amidst them. He candidly discusses his transformation, his fears, and the profound impact of his wife's diagnosis on their relationship. AJ also shares his views on the often misunderstood concept of success. To him, success is less about the accolades and more about making an impact. Through his metaphor of life as a river, AJ highlights the importance of constant evolution, integrity, and unconditional love. 

In a thought-provoking discourse, AJ dissects the story of Jesus in the desert, and how it relates to managing our inner critic. He delivers invaluable insights on how to befriend this critic and use it as a catalyst for growth. Wrapping up, he shares how discerning our desires can lead us to our true selves, a lesson he believes would have greatly altered his life, had he known it earlier. If you're seeking a new perspective on success, personal growth and the strength to brave life's storms, this episode is for you.

How does a traditional landscaper metamorphose into a tech entrepreneur? Our latest episode unpacks this fascinating transformation with Bryan Clayton, co-founder and CEO of GreenPal - a digital platform that bridges the gap between homeowners and local lawn care professionals. Starting with just 20 users, Bryan has grown the platform to a staggering 300,000 active users, and his journey is a captivating tale of innovation, persistence, and customer-focused growth.
