Is magnetism a quality that you're born with, or can it be learned? Why is it that there are some people that seem to be magnetic, relatable, and truly authentic, so that when they show up on camera, create videos, or content on the Internet, no matter what it is they say, they draw an audience? We’re answering these questions and more in this installment of the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series! Today's guest, Alex Paulos, is my “secret weapon” that I’ve hired and used myself several times in my own company, and he’s so good that I have him at all of my events to work with my clients...

I was absolutely blown away after my personal session with today's guest, Tom Matte, and I just knew I had to bring his gift to you here on the podcast. Tom possesses a unique ability he calls Upsight Vision, which is the power to see translucent images that radiate from you, literally revealing the unconscious thoughts and next-level insights buried beneath the surface. I requested he ask zero questions, and over Zoom, the things he shared with me were unbelievably spot on! Today, we dive deep into how these incredible gifts came to him, the connection between childhood trauma and...

Are you still arguing for your limitations while wondering why your growth has stalled? After a much-needed break to celebrate our wedding and recharge on our honeymoon, Jenni and I are back behind the mic to get real about the massive shifts happening in our industry! We’ve seen more disruption in the last 12 months than in the past two decades combined, and a "wait and see" approach is no longer an option.
In this episode, we unpack the mental shifts required to actually thrive in this new climate. We talk about why your true desires are actually a map to your purpose, how to stop self-sabotaging with goals that don't line up with your actions, and why you have to clean up the mental "mud" if you want to keep the results you're after.
It is time to reclaim your agency and stop letting your brain’s old predictions dictate what’s possible for you, because the world needs your unique frequency now more than ever.
