John R Miles: Passion Struck - Unlock Your Purpose and Ignite Your Most Intentional Life
This week I chat with John Miles; keynote speaker, author, combat veteran, and host of the #1 ranked alternative health podcast, Passion Struck! John shares his origin story - from Naval Academy graduate and military officer to Fortune 50 CIO and "recovering senior executive." Despite reaching high levels of career success, John realized that he nearly lost his sense of purpose. This was the spark that set him on a journey to finding his TRUE passion. John explains the meaning behind Passion Struck - it's not a single destination but an ongoing way of life focused on fulfilling your highest potential and serving others. He shares research showing 76% of people at the end of life say their biggest regret was not becoming their ideal self, essentially leading an unlived life. The key to being Passion Struck: tuning into your inner voice and intrinsic motivations instead of societal expectations or others' definitions of success. John profiles luminaries he researched (Oprah, Derek Jeter, Bono, etc.) who created lives aligned with their purpose by pursuing their dreams relentlessly.

Travis Davenport: The Rise of Human-Centered Leadership
Our guest today is Travis Davenport, founder of Wolf & Iron, a company that helps CEOs and entrepreneurs build thriving cultures and workplaces centered around personal values. Travis discusses the importance of belonging to a "wolf pack" community that inspires and challenges you, while also developing close "iron sharpens iron" relationships that push you to grow. He talks about the difference between "hard skills" and "human skills," arguing that human skills like coaching, mentoring, and inspiring employees are becoming increasingly critical for company culture and retention. Travis explains how the nature of work is evolving - younger generations don't want bosses that command them; they want leaders who empower them as partners in the company mission. With more options available thanks to the internet and remote work, employees are seeking meaning and purpose from their jobs, not just a paycheck. Companies that tap into this desire through strong human-centered leadership stand to gain dedicated, mission-driven team members.

My Top 10 Benefits of Podcasting
Howdy, fellow podcast junkies! Whether you're already hooked like me or thinking about starting your own show, this episode is a must-listen! Let's dive into my top 10 benefits of podcasting! First and foremost, podcasting is an amazing way to serve others. By sharing your knowledge and experiences, you can provide valuable information and entertainment to your listeners. It's a platform where you can truly make a positive impact on people's lives. One of the greatest perks of podcasting is the opportunity to grow a strong network. Through interviews, collaborations, and connecting with fellow podcasters, you can expand your reach and build meaningful relationships with like-minded individuals. Podcasting also offers incredible opportunities for learning and personal growth. As you research for your episodes, interview experts, and engage with your audience, you'll constantly be expanding your knowledge and skills. Another benefit of podcasting is brand exposure. By consistently delivering top-notch content, you can establish yourself as an authority in your niche and increase your visibility. This can open doors to exciting opportunities like speaking engagements, partnerships, and media features. Podcasting also provides an abundance of social content. From episode snippets to behind-the-scenes footage, you'll have plenty of material to share on social media. This keeps your audience engaged and allows you to showcase your personality and expertise in different formats. Speaking of engagement, podcasting creates an awesome community. Your listeners become part of a loyal fan base that eagerly awaits each new episode. This sense of community fosters deeper connections and allows for meaningful interactions with your audience. Furthermore, podcasting attracts an informed audience. Unlike other content forms, podcast listeners are highly engaged and attentive. They actively seek out podcasts on topics they're genuinely interested in, making them a valuable audience for any podcaster. Now, let's talk about monetization. Podcasting offers various opportunities to generate income, such as sponsorships, advertising, or even creating premium content for your most dedicated fans. With a growing audience and strategic partnerships, you can turn your passion into a profitable venture. Last but certainly not least, let's not forget the fun factor! Podcasting is an enjoyable and creative outlet where you can freely express yourself. It allows you to connect with fascinating individuals, explore exciting topics, and share your unique voice with the world. So there you have it – my top 10 benefits of podcasting! Whether you're motivated by serving others, building a strong network, or simply having fun, podcasting has something to offer for everyone.

How Is Building a Business Like Baking a Cake?!

How Is Building a Business Like Baking a Cake?!
When I first started my business, I followed the "ready, fire, aim" approach which caused much more harm than good. While taking action is critical, being strategic before launching would have saved me time, money, and headaches. If I could do it again, I would have treated starting a business more like baking a cake - following the precise recipe and steps in the correct order. I made many mistakes by winging it instead of aiming first. My goal now is to help others avoid those pitfalls so they can efficiently build thriving companies!

Sound of Freedom REVIEW & FACTS about Human Trafficking
07/17/2023
Sound of Freedom REVIEW & FACTS about Human Trafficking
After seeing the Sound of Freedom, I was inspired to create this episode and shed light on an important topic that needs more awareness - human trafficking and especially child sex trafficking and exploitation. It's important that we no longer avoid these uncomfortable conversations so we can become educated and take action to help those in need. This has been dismissed for too long…there are 1.2 million CHILDREN trafficked each year…we can no longer sit silently and allow this to be buried under less important news stories & issues. The movie itself is incredibly well done, with great acting and cinematography, it’s no surprise that it’s been dominating at the box office. It's based on a true story about Tim Ballard, a former special agent for the Department of Homeland Security who worked to combat internet crimes against children. The film follows his work in Operation Underground Railroad to bring down human traffickers and rescue children from their grasp. The battle cry in the film will certainly stick with you long after you watch this movie…God's children are not for sale! Here are some resources to learn more: Connect with Mike:
