This week we are bringing you a throwback episode! This is one of our first episodes from last year. 

What do you do when you face a situation that challenges your emotions? It’s easy to get stuck in a rut over it. You might be tempted to just ignore the issue and hope it magically resolves, in your life and in your head, all on its own. You might develop a negative mindset about it, blame others, or start building anger and resentment. 

These examples are unhealthy coping mechanisms that are easy to automatically turn to when you’re faced with difficult or hurtful dilemmas. However, wishing it away or getting angry won’t help you get to a resolution - not a positive resolution anyway.

So if your negative default settings won’t help, then what can you do to move through life’s tough times in a more positive way that actually helps you grow through the process?

You need to reframe life’s challenges! You are in control of how you think and the lens you view the world through. There is opportunity in every challenge if you make a conscious decision to look for it and embrace it. Resisting only leads to more chaos and an unsettled mind.

Listen to 5 ways you can reframe life’s challenges for a more positive outcome!

How are you communicating your authentic self to others?

Mark Metry is on Amazon Prime's TV Docuseries "The Social Movement" season 2 attempting to solve some of the world's biggest problems. Mark is also the Host of the Global Top 100 podcast called Humans 2.0 featured by Forbes, NASDAQ, and Yahoo Finance as the "Top 21 Growing Podcasts you must listen to in 2019."

In this episode, Mark explains the value of negative information – it can keep us alive. Our brains will go throughout our lives and pick up negative thoughts and ideas. Then, our minds will begin to tell them as if they are ours. In 2016, Mark set out to create the 2.0 version of himself. After a walk around the city, Mark realized he was overweight and needed to do something about it. So, Mark Googled how to lose weight and which diets he needed to follow. The health and wellness industry affects everyone, there is a lot of power with how companies' market and leverage what they have. The journey to weight loss just confused him even more. Eventually, Mark decided to eat natural foods and avoid chemicals. 

Stay tuned as Mark uncovers the lessons he learned from his podcast, Human 2.0. Now that he has success, Mark looks to bring other people that same feeling. Success is all relative; as we climb the ladder of success, it gives us meaning in our journey. Also, Mark reveals the inspiration behind his book, Screw Being Shy.

How do you master your mindset?

 Jen Groover has been tagged by SUCCESS MAGAZINE as a “One-Woman Brand,” a “Creativity and Innovation Guru” and a leading “Serial Entrepreneur” by Entrepreneur Magazine and ranked #8 by SAP in the Top 51 Influencers of Human Potential.  Jen Groover’s name has become synonymous with innovation, entrepreneurship, evolution and human potential.  She was recently nominated for “Motivational Speaker of the Year for 2019” from Speakercon.  As well as “Woman of the Year” by PhillyMan Magazine.

In this episode, Jen dives deep into her story and the importance of mindset. We can view every situation in a way that will harm us or let us grow. Once we understand the idea that we have control over our mindset, then we need to understand how to take control of our mindset. People grow up without ever knowing that they are in control of their minds. We can always think about how we can view something differently. There are exercises to train our brains to think positively and consciously. 

Stay tuned as Jen explains why we need to back up our complaints with solutions, and Jen describes the inspiration behind The MORE Method.

What makes you unique? 

Adam Mendler is the Chief Executive Officer of The Veloz Group, where he co-founded and oversees ventures across a wide variety of industries: Beverly Hills Chairs, a leading office furniture e-tailer; Custom Tobacco, a one-of-a-kind cigar customization e-commerce platform; and Veloz Solutions, a technology consulting and software development practice. Adam remains active in each portfolio company, providing strategic guidance and support. Adam also provides business thought leadership as a speaker to businesses, universities and non-profit organizations; as the host of the leadership and personal / professional development podcast Thirty Minute Mentors; as an expert regularly cited in national media outlets; and as an advisor, consultant, coach and board member.

In this episode, Adam speaks about how he was so busy counting his money; he didn’t realize the issues in his businesses. Adam and his business partner have ten different ideas, and they wanted to execute all of them. However, they burnt through all of their money and had their backs up against the wall. If Adam and his business partner were going to continue as entrepreneurs, they needed to focus and stop what they were doing. You can’t successfully start ten businesses at the same time. The biggest mistake they made was not having the focus. When you’re a bootstrap business, you need money coming in regularly. They were so busy and distracted that they lost sight of working on the cash flow businesses. 

Today we are talking to a female entrepreneur and self proclaimed lifestyle curator who has built her empire around travel.

She is also a founding member of The Hive Society, an influential community of content creators. She has been featured on Fox Business, Cheddar News, The Huffington Post, and Trip Advisor (just to name a few). 

We are excited to be talking with Amy West on the show today!
