“ The name isliterally like an address. It has nothing to do with the results you're delivering. Focusing on messaging is definitely more important than just the name.” -Holly Chantal

What’s in a name? This week, I am joined by Holly Chantal, a Business Integrator and Brand Strategist. You may remember Holly from Episode 059 where we talked about business experiments. And today, I’m excited to have her talk about that one thing that gets us pulling our hairs out for- brand naming. Of course, we want a name that can do the marketing for us and can represent exactly what we stand for. But sometimes, our brain just isn’t excreting enough creative juices for that. It’s about time to take that pressure off of our shoulders and learn from an expert. Today, Holly comes to the rescue with her signature brand naming methodology, Trailblazing Trifecta. She also gives valuable pointers on determining when is the right time to start thinking about your brand name, what makes a good brand name, and whether you have a good brand message that speaks well to your tribe. To better understand these concepts, Julie Galvin, a Decision-Making Strategist joins our forum and Holly walks her through her naming methodology live.

“Everything that happens is positive. If something looks bad at the moment, it's how we perceive it and how we roll with it, that’s a true sign of our mastery or lack of it.” -Kenton David Bell

This week, our theme is about transformation in action with Transformational Coach Kenton David Bell. Kenton is an expert in helping his clients identify practical applications to the complex concepts that baffle their minds. Thus, propelling them forward to the reality that they want. At times, we find ourselves in constant warfare against uncertainty and fear. And this conversation is empowering as we learn that struggles are optional, and we don't have to add them to our bag of experiences if we don't want to.

Maybe you still remember those days when you were sitting in science class and listening to what seemed like an unending lecture about time and space, power and force, and energy fields. And until now, you still can't figure out how that can help you be successful in life and your business. Today, Kenton teaches how these scientific jargons can shift our reality. He also talks about how to merge the mind with consciousness, break the 'traffic' with the energy of compassion, reframe our life to where we want to be, envision with intention, and so much more!

We are the creators of our own experiences! Click the link below and learn practical steps you can take to be a master of manifestation:

Commitment is bigger than a choice or a decision. There is an energy that happens when we get committed to a thing that dials in.” -Wendy Hart

In this episode, I speak with Wendy Hart, Founder of Wendy Hart Coaching. Wendy helps her clients find clarity and wisdom to make decisions they can be proud of. As entrepreneurs, we make decision after decision every day to keep our business running and stable, and that is, apart from decisions we also have to make in our personal lives. As we spend more of our mental powers, our decision-making capacity depletes. At the end of the day, it’s not only our body that gets worn out but also our mind. As a result, we end up making reckless decisions or just doing nothing at all- either way, we are stuck. Poor decisions basically stem from having decision fatigue. Today, Wendy and I talk about how to make intelligent decisions easier. Wendy shares why strategizing is not needed in accessing our deepest needs, how we can build trust in the decisions we make, the 3 steps in effective decision-making, why commitment is a must, why we get stuck, and the 7 questions that can help us gain clarity. If you’re an entrepreneur looking for the fastest way to gain clarity, or just wanting to be better in your decision-making ability, this episode is definitely a must-listen-to!

“As long as you don't claim your gift, you can continue to let somebody else be the leader of your life.” -Cori Willis

In this episode, I sit with Cori Willis, the author of Gifted for Greatness. Cori helps her clients find and monetize their unique gifts. Cori and I discuss why sometimes, we feel like there's a big hole in our lives. We know we should be doing something different, but that picture is either vague or scary. The question of purpose and feeling of emptiness keep plaguing our hearts. And as much as we would want to pivot and move towards the things that make us happy, certain factors stop us from taking risks or changing course. The good news is that we do not have to tear our entire life down to find that gift. Today, Cori shares what a gift is and her unique approach to finding it. She talks about how deviating away from our gift manifests in different ways, why we should embrace our quirkiness, how to build our intellectual property, and why we should be more aware of the data points in our life. We have been programmed to follow the traditional path, but not anymore! We hold the responsibility to reevaluate our life path and direct how our story is supposed to be.

The only person who can tell if you're doing good is yourself. If you're ready to stop playing "good girl/boy" and following what others want instead of your own, click the link below to learn how you can show up with your unique gift and get paid to do what you love:

“Clarity is the answer to all decision-making questions. How and what you're creating is an expression of who you are.” -Julie Gallivan

In this episode, we are having a magnified view of decision-making with Decision-Making Strategist and Clarity Coach Julie Gallivan. Julie describes decision-making as our silent partner. Most of the time, we make decisions without being mindful of it. Simple tasks such as deciding on what to eat, what to wear, where to buy certain things, and everything we do throughout the day requires decision-making. However, there are also compound problems where we need to use our mental faculties to the full. But, with the hustle, fear, and confusion that arise with these dilemmas, decision-making becomes the hardest thing in the world. We even intentionally distract ourselves only to get away with it. Until then, do we realize that we've never truly paid attention to how we've been making decisions all along. Of course, we can't keep putting-off these issues. As they pile up, we find ourselves more overwhelmed and more frustrated. Worst, we attempt to duplicate what others do, deceiving ourselves that we'll attain the same level of success they hold by doing so. We never want to find ourselves in that situation ever! So today, Julie reminds us of that one critical element that we often forget about decision-making: clarity. Julie talks about the role of our vision and identity in the choices we make. She also talks about how our resources, challenges, and patterns affect our judgments. Most importantly, Julie explains how we can structure our decision-making process, so we can take practical steps towards success.

“Relationship is the foundation of all stories that are told. If you can't find a relationship, you're probably not telling a story.” -Chip Brewer

Storytelling is as old as human history, and knowing this reminds us that this ancient art still runs in our blood. This week, I am thrilled to speak with improv speaker, author, and storyteller Chip Brewer. Chip has been performing improvs for more than 20 years now and is passionate about teaching his secrets to those who want to get better at this craft.

Storytelling is the heart of marketing. Without stories, no business will exist. And it’s not because companies have to keep their customers entertained, but because behind every sale is a story that resonates with a customer’s unique experience. Yet, some may argue that storytelling is not a language they can speak well. Indeed, some people are more linguistically sharp than others, but as entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, and leaders always on the stage, storytelling is a highway to reach your vision.

In this episode, Chip discusses big topics such as teamwork, storytelling, and stagecraft. He shares how man’s desire and innate ability to tell and listen to stories can help promote your brand and establish a solid connection to others. Learn the fundamentals, key elements, structure, and rules of storytelling and improv. As a treat, Chip also shares some exercises and games to help you hone your storytelling skills.

Description:

“I believe the idea of the velocity of money. If you want to sit and meditate on your idea for six months, that's not helping anybody. We need to get the idea out into the world and start helping people.” -Cody Burch

Wouldn’t it be nice if product launches make your life easy rather than stressful? This week, Cody Burch drops by the KPKG stage to share his marketing expertise. Cody is the Founder of Funnels and Ads Mastery (FAM), an online community for entrepreneurs who want to level up their marketing skills. Cody helps his clients reclaim their freedom while moving towards their goals fast and simple.

As exciting as it sounds, launching a product is complicated and stressful, from conceptualizing to the actual launch day. Not to mention the elaborate work and the expenses you have to put into it. And sometimes, while the intent is to help others, the launch still fails. Therefore, it’s not surprising that many entrepreneurs get overwhelmed and devastated beyond imagination. But what if you can eliminate the majority of the launch process and go straight to finding potential customers and earning money?

In this episode, Cody introduces us to the launch method of your dreams- the Laid Back Launch. It is literally what it says. Cody discusses how the Laid Back Launch can help you navigate through the world of launches so you can go out and start helping people the soonest possible. He also drops practical steps you can take before you throw your funding and create deliverables. Cody also shares how to engage your customers, why feedbacks are crucial to the success of your launch, and when to level up your game.

“It builds trust for people to see an entire human being in terms of coaching and in that particular industry.”-Kate Pintor

In this episode, I sat down for an intriguing interview with Kate Pintor, Marketing Synthesist, and TikTok Expert. Kate helps her clients build strong leadership and work culture that thrives. Kate and I talk about all things TikTok and why entrepreneurs should start considering this platform as an innovative business strategy. This conversation resonates a lot with me, not only because it made the headlines lately, which makes it all the more intriguing, but also because as entrepreneurs, we are always looking for ways to authentically build a connection with the people we serve. And TikTok is apparently moving forward to serve that very purpose. While TikTok swiftly invades the social media space, others remain skeptical about it. Today, Kate talks about why entrepreneurs hesitate to utilize TikTok for their marketing and how to turn those hesitations into motivations instead. Kate also shares important points to remember when creating your content, delivering value, knowing the avatar you’re speaking to, building trust, and so much more! TikTok can be a great platform to get rid of all those boring, mechanical marketing that people don’t buy anymore. If you think that you’re not the quirky, video-creating, dancy-type entrepreneur, click the link below and hear Kate’s tips and strategies on how to get started with your first-ever TikTok story:

“Your world is full of everyone else trying to be someone else. Just be you. Don't be afraid to magnify that piece of you that's uniquely you because it can take you to some incredibly extraordinary places.” -Jesse Brisendine

We have another incredible guest this week: Jesse Brisendine, host of A Handful of Hope Podcast and creator of Zero Limits Coaching. Jesse helps his clients weave together success and fulfillment, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Maybe you still remember when you were in school analyzing The Great Gatsby or memorizing all the tricky math equations. After spending all those years, it’s funny how we barely remember anything at all. What’s not laughable is, how after graduation, we have to throw those concepts away and start learning how life works. Now, the hard work of unlearning some of the things we were programmed to believe and discovering who we are and what we want begins.

In this episode, we learn how to avoid default drift patterns and empower ourselves. Jesse focuses on two things of which ironically, act as our superpower and archenemy at the same time: our thoughts and our emotions. While growing up, we learned that we must take control of our situation, which is mission impossible in itself (unless we are agent 007!). Rather than taking over the things we have little or no control over, Jesse shares how we can show accountability in the emotions resulting from those circumstances. He also talks about how we can extract a part of our pain and use it to create a picture of our vision and purpose in life. We want to live a meaningful life and be able to teach our children how to do the same. With that, you may be interested in Jesse’s advice on how to be an active observer and participant in your kid’s life.

“Success consciousness is the consciousness of being when you know that you're a miracle incarnate.” -Sarah Negus

For this week’s treat, Sarah Negus, “The Modern Day Shaman”, joins us all the way from London. Sarah’s expertise is on helping her clients identify their challenges, explore what is holding them back, and uncover communication patterns. I am excited about this conversation because as entrepreneurs, we often go through stagnant moments, whether in our business or professional lives. And in this remarkable time that we are in right now, it is crucially vital that we lean in towards the spiritual aspect of our entrepreneurial journey. Our day-to-day hustles have drowned our opportunity to flourish as spiritual beings and frankly, that is the most significant piece in fulfilling our purpose and satisfying our passion.

Sarah talks mainly about weaving in spiritual practices in our endeavors. Along with that, we also learn about what would happen if we kept ignoring our calling, what is involved in reinventing ourself, what shamanism and psychosynthesis are, how to lay down judgment and cultivate faith for the unseeable, what it means to think on your foot, and how to honor lived experiences.
