Dr. Neeta Bhushan on Surviving Domestic Violence & Much More 0
Oct 30, 2019
Dr. Neeta Bhushan is a former cosmetic dentist turned best-selling author, international speaker, social entrepreneur, advocate of emotional health, and leadership coach.
 
She helps entrepreneurs own their story, create their message in the form of books to chart their next big chapter.
 
She conducts Book To Bestseller workshops, and optimizes businesses to scale their message, their business, and their impact.
Despite having met Neeta a few times, I had no idea what her back story was until this interview—in short, how she was orphaned t a young age, survived an abusive marriage of domestic violence, faced homelessness and essentially defines gritting out of the dark. (Her book is called Emotional Grit, natch.)

Melyna Harrison on Building a 7-Figure Biz After Losing Everything 0
Oct 23, 2019
Melyna Harrison is a 7 Figure Entrepreneur and a business coach. While that's amazing, the craziest part of her story is where she was able to build that from.
 
See, she and her husband were doing just fine—his business was moving along, they had a couple kids—when, out of nowhere, they lost everything.
 
She realized she could feel sorry for herself or she could do something.
 
She chose the latter.
 
That led to her becoming a network marketing leader, with 300,000 people under her.
 
Yes, 300,000.
 
How did she do that—while continuing to be a wife and mother (they now have four kids in all)?
 
Hear all about that—and about why she chooses to tell people about her life's darker sides—in this episode.

Nick Sonnenberg on How ADD Helped Lead Him to Success 0
Oct 16, 2019
Nick Sonnenberg is a serial entrepreneur, business efficiency consultant, Inc. columnist and author of the book Idea to Execution. He is the founder and CEO of Leverage and Efficient Frontier Solutions, as well as co-founder of the Bullseye Mastermind Group. And he's worked with every big business name in the book, from Tony Robbins to Jay Abraham.
 
He's also always seemed, to me, to be the ultimate example of someone who's 100% "together," whatever that's come to mean today. He's also always seemed, to use another word that can conjure up a variety of concepts, "fancy." So I was very surprised to hear that he's the first person in his family to go to college and that he struggled in school with ADD.
 
In this conversation, he talked about how it was that very struggle that led to his success. Listen to hear us chat about mentors, books and more.

Hal Elrod on Cheerfully Accepting the News He'd Never Walk Again 0
Oct 9, 2019
After surviving multiple near-death experiences and impacting millions of lives through his books, Hal Elrod is on a mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one person at a time.
 
As the bestselling author of one of the highest-rated books in the world, The Miracle Morning, and his newest book, The Miracle Equation, he is doing exactly that.
 
He is also perhaps the kindest person I have ever met. I learned this when I met him at a college speaking event over a decade ago and it was reinforced during my process of working on The Miracle Morning for Addiction Recovery with him.
 
In this episode, he shares multiple gems—including how doctors thought he must have been in denial when he cheerfully accepted the news that he'd never walk again, what the word "acceptance" really means and how a lesson he learned in sales training has changed his entire outlook on life...among many other things.

He's also overcome circumstances that would have destroyed most, including a childhood of constant moving and foster homes. But it was during this childhood, where he was left on his own to take care of himself, that he learned computers...which led him to where he is now: as one of the world's leading experts on Search Engine Optimization.
 
In this episode, we discussed resilience, Tony Robbins, proposing in a hot air balloon...and much, much more.
