Dr. Jane and I talk about how she became a minister in an AME church, her chaos to clarity experience and more!!!   Key Takeaways: “We should all continue to evolve.” Many people come into spiritual communities for all kinds of reasons and most of the time it’s not for seeking a spiritual path. Branding yourself is important because people decide within the 1st 2 minutes of an interview or an audition if they want to work with you. “We can only live in the moment.” “We have no control over other people’s perceptions of us.” Operate by attraction and not promotion. Wisdom resides in the now. Age doesn’t define your level of contribution to society.   Dr. Jane’s Site: https://www.janegalloway.com/     Pre-Order a copy of the above book, “Chaos to Clarity” Here: https://sacredstoriespublishing.com/#!/chaos-to-clarity   The opening t

Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.   Today's featured award-winning author is community activist and small group facilitator, Nelson Brown. Nelson and I talk about his upcoming book projects, dealing with negative feedback and more!   Key Takeaways: Network as much as you possibly can with others.    Appreciate your small accomplishments.   Poetry can take you into another universe.   Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.   When you are going through depressing times and don’t accept professional help, you are doing yourself and your loved ones a disservice.   Not everyone will understand your vision.   There is nothing wrong with going to therapy to talk about your issues.   Successful people don’t have time for criticizing others and spreading negativity.   Nelson's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Us-Our-Reality-1/dp/1718751907    The opening track is titled, "Im

“Action leads to action.” - John Willkom   Today's featured bestselling author is a business leader and former Division 1 basketball player at Marquette University, John Willkom. John and I talk about his book, his basketball camp "Playmakers Basketball" and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: The best part about sharing an intimate story in written form is the reaction you get from total strangers.   A lot of young people are looking for mentors and a lot of adults are looking to share their wisdom.   Fear will not paralyze you if you take action.   Authorship is a journey and will test your skillset.   Take pride in what you produce. Especially when you enhance it after receiving constructive feedback.   You don’t have to wait to share your gift.   Have a vision for your life paired with a strong belief that it will happen.   Stay connected to your passion.   John's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Warrior-Drive-Discipline-Will-ebook/dp/B07HXSB2YC

Think of self-love as an action. “You are 100% worth it.”   Rachel's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Life-Lose-Weight-ebook/dp/B07CSYNVJP/ref=zg_bs_8917486011_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8Z54SPDENNFTKMJEAGMG   Rachel's Site: http://yourmindbodyjoy.com/     The opening track is titled "Kyotoelectric" by Project R (AKA Rukunetsu).
