Is it too much to ask that every customer also has a personal connection to the brand? Jacquie doesn't think so, and I dare you to listen to this episode and then second guess whether she's going to take over the entire world…

This is an all-time favourite episode because it speaks right to the heart of anyone with a big dream and a go-getter attitude. I have pulled so much inspiration from Jacquie K's perspective on everything from personal branding, to comparison, to continuing to seek out education long after you become an "expert," and owning your imperfections in a way that pushes you forward instead of holding you back.

If I could describe her in one single emoji, it would be a lighting bolt. It is a true gift that her insight can be shared in this format, and it brings me peace knowing you will be truly empowered after listening.

It's 30 days worth of celebrity gossip in a single episode and that should be all the info you'll need to hit play. Someone pour the tea because we're talking big news including a Hollywood proposal, a photoshop scandal, a slanderous documentary, an alleged affair between bandmates, PLUS — someone got a hamster and it was trending on twitter for 3 days.

It's everything you need if what you need happens to be a laugh and a reference to a very minor character in Bring It On.

Social media is a killer tool, especially when you're using it to grow your online business and brand. But what happens when you start seeing those red notification bubbles as a measure of your self-worth?

In this ep I'm talking about what's at risk when we allow ourselves to be measured by the arbitrary metrics (like a follower count!), specifically how it leads us to feel lonely, unsuccessful, unworthy, and depressed.

But not to worry! I've got 10 STRATEGIES that will help pull you away from the hypnotizing blue light and find more value and self-worth outside of the screen!

After a textbook pregnancy that ended with a dramatic rush to the hospital just in time for the delivery, Evelyn Joy entered the world and joined our family. The rush of adrenaline and excitement would quickly turn to quiet, as this became the moment that Scott and Rebecca Hurren would discover that their beautiful daughter was showing signs of Down Syndrome.

Looking back to that day in 2012 we now know it was the beginning of an entirely different path, one that couldn't be planned, envisioned, or controlled. On the day of this episode's release, we are celebrating World Down Syndrome Day, and I could think of no better opportunity for my brother, Scott Hurren, to share their story that started with discovery and continues today with gratitude and eternal optimism.

Call it a curveball, or call it an opportunity for a greater love — either way Scott and Rebecca were handpicked for this life, and they're seizing every single moment along the way.

Shannon Kennedy, principle planner at Kennedy Event Planning, believes that the universe has a sense of humour. Every few years, it seems, she is tested. When one piece of the puzzle clicks together, another turns to ashes, creating the constant ebb and flow that ultimately became the foundation for the strong and determined woman she is today.

After a life-altering breakup with $65 in her bank account, Shannon was forced to rebuild her life and find herself in the process. In this episode she shares the raw and real story of how owning a business is a lot like having a long term relationship. She reminds us that success looks different at various stages of adulthood, and only by testing yourself can you grow and evolve into the person you were truly meant to be.

Perseverance. Dedication. Strength.

These are the qualities that best describe a Senior Accounting Manager who bravely set out to use the free app called "One Second Every Day" to document his ordinary life. Was it simply a series of spreadsheets and coffee cups? Or did Ryan Kelly seize the opportunity and discover that his life, in fact, was full of beauty and meaning…?

It's somewhere between those two extremes, but you can have a look for yourself: https://vimeo.com/322024409
