KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pride and Fear are the Core Barriers: The primary reasons believers don’t share their stories boil down to pride (often disguised as false humility, e.g., "I don't have it all together") and fear (of judgment, ridicule, being called a fraud, or negative career impacts).
• Your Platform is an Altar: Instead of treating public platforms like social media as a stage for performance, view them as altars. This reframes sharing as an act of authentic, transparent offering to God, designed to point others to Him rather than to yourself.
• Success Is Obedience: True success isn't measured by worldly metrics like organizational growth or public acclaim but by simple obedience to God's specific calling. Faithfulness to the mission, even a simple one like "keeping an idea alive," is the ultimate goal.
• Embrace the Role of Story Midwife: The church has a massive opportunity to actively help people "birth" their testimonies. This requires "story midwives" who guide people through the resistance of sharing and "story shepherds" who help shape the narrative with clarity and reverence.
• Lean Into Discomfort: Conversations about faith and calling are not always comfortable. Leaning into that discomfort, asking yourself why you feel challenged, and then deciding what to do about it is a powerful catalyst for genuine spiritual growth and action.

QUOTES

• “How could I not? How could I not testify to what the Lord has done for me?”
• “The short answer to your question, it all boils down to pride or fear.”
• “Success equals obedience and obedience equals success.”
• “I don't wanna hear what you can't do... Just give us your blessing to do what we can do.”
• "If I had a chance to go back and redefine success, it would be obedience, plain and simple."
• "...the testimonies in your lives are what I'm going to use to help bring and lead people to me. And you're sitting on these testimonies. Right, wake up."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Homeschooling Builds a Strong Foundation: The primary motivation for homeschooling can be to provide an education centered on non-negotiable Christian values, ensuring that children learn to see the world through a biblical lens, a foundation often unavailable in public or even private schools.
• Flexibility Fuels Individual Passion: A homeschool environment allows for the flexibility to cater to each child's unique learning style and pace. This freedom gives them the time and space to explore interests deeply, turning hobbies like coding or sports into potential career paths and life skills.
• True Success is Earned, Not Cheated: In an age of instant answers and AI shortcuts, the most valuable success is the one that is earned through hard work and integrity. Doing things the right way, even when it’s harder, builds character and leads to a more rewarding sense of accomplishment.
• Family Collaboration Creates Stronger Bonds: Working on a significant creative project as a family, like writing a book, strengthens relationships. Navigating different opinions and creative styles through discussion and mutual respect fosters a deeper connection and produces a result that reflects the whole family.
• Putting God First Brings Order to Life: When you prioritize seeking God and His Word above all else (Matthew 6:33), everything else falls into place. This principle applies to parenting, education, and life's challenges, as God opens the right doors and provides the wisdom needed for every situation.

QUOTES

• “If Moses can go to Egypt and free a whole civilization of people, like I think I can figure out how to do numbers and letters.”
• “When you work hard for something, it's actually more rewarding than if you do it the quick way... you don't really appreciate it as much.”
• “True success comes when you give your best and you work your hardest, not when it just comes easy to you.”
• “We need to remember to take it slow and remember the Lord will guide us through, and if we're patient, then we'll eventually get to the success that He truly wants.”
• "First, seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything else will be added to you."
• “If you try to do it your way, then it's just gonna fall apart because we're not perfect, but God is perfect and his way is the best way.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Purpose is Found in Service: The path to discovering your God-given talents and achieving true fulfillment is embedded in serving others. When you use your gifts to improve the lives of others, you activate your own purpose and potential.
• Overcome the Three Inner Demons: The primary internal enemies that prevent growth are fear, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. These can be defeated through intentional practices like autosuggestion (talking to yourself with purpose) and prayer.

By watering these seeds with prayer and consistency, you can cultivate a life of limitless impact, just as one seed holds the potential for a thousand trees.
• Choose to Be a Victor, Not a Victim: Life will present challenges, but your response is your choice. By building a spiritual and mental armor through daily practice, you can shift from a victim mentality to that of a victor who overcomes any obstacle.

QUOTES

• “Everything you do when you put all yourself in it, when you do it well, somebody is always watching.”
• “The torture of being in a place or doing... some works of which you are not fulfilled, that torture is far worse than having... millions of dollars in your bank account.”
• “When you give yourself to others, God... not only gives you more of yourself, but he also shows you the life within.”
• "Those voices, I called them fear, self-doubt, and low self-esteem... and my friend believed that those are the three toughest demons that mankind deal with ever."
• "God should break me away from the mindset of limitations."

• "We’re the only species creating things that stay here long after we’re gone, disrupting ecosystems and harming other species. Nature knows how to recycle everything—why don’t we?"

• I’ve seen several people decide to turn their lives around and self-initiate getting off of the streets after their portrait was done within days. It wasn’t a question of why they did that. They told me it was because of their portrait."

• "Our purpose is to love God and to love one another as ourselves. And then our assignment is unique...based on how God has uniquely shaped us with our giftings, passion, life experience, and personality."
• "The enemy can counterfeit, but he can't create."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Targeting Senior Executives: Senior executives are significant consumers of podcasts, particularly in the business and tech categories. Creators should consider tailoring content to appeal to this demographic.

Understanding Audience Habits: Many senior executives listen to podcasts during their gym time, making health and fitness podcasts surprisingly effective for reaching this audience.

Effective Guesting Strategy: Leveraging the "content, context, audience, and reach" framework can help identify the best podcasts for guest appearances, maximizing the impact of each appearance.

Niche Focus: Smaller, niche podcasts with highly engaged audiences can sometimes offer greater ROI than larger, more general shows.

"One of the best ways to grow your own audience is to tap into other people's audiences and build a bridge from their audience back to your own content." – Trent Anderson

About Season 4 of Age of Authenticity 

Your story will make a massive impact. The mission of Season 4 is to meet and share the stories of the top 10 changemakers globally (and rising stars) to use the art of story to transcend barrier and empower 100 million people to step out of isolation and into acceptance.

With the recent launch of my book, P.R.O.F.I.T., I shared how recovering from drugs, alcohol, sex and money addiction has helped me recover in business. I've gone from being the talker, to the listener. My ego used to be my boss.

 Now I work for God.

Sometimes you get to the office and are...unmotivated. 

Well, I'd actually like to challenge that. You see, for me, it's a matter of being unclear on my priorities and what to tackle first.

I find that writing down my feelings toward my todo items and then doing a little bit of soul searching combined with determining the item's importance helps tremendously. 

What are you procrastinating on today?

More about Healing Hand: Healing Hand began as a direct result of the void for lead generation services specializing in the health and wellness industry, as well as the convoluted nature of the digital marketing industry. Healing Hand’s founder also owns a digital marketing agency called Lifestyle Marketing. 

The digital world has made marketing more accessible, but also more complicated than ever before. Business owners lose millions of dollars every day by failing to execute a strategic marketing plan that actually moves the needle. That’s why our agency decided to flip our business model to solely focus on helping health and wellness organizations grow their client base. 

Healing Hand partners with expert health and wellness professionals who specifically specialize in IV therapy, cryotherapy, acupuncture, and so much more. We use our proprietary database of the US’s top health and wellness professionals to match a field expert with an individual seeking their services. Essentially, Healing Hand is a referral company for the top wellness organizations in the US. 

We’re excited to offer you a hand in your wellness journey.

Kids like Scott weren’t supposed to make something of themselves. And on his journey, he faced tremendous — almost overwhelming — odds, including physical violence and obstacles presented by those who did not believe that he could or should succeed. But thanks to a few inspiring teachers who believed in him, a lot of hard work, and a dash of luck, Scott eventually made it to New York City, where he graduated from Columbia Law School, and where he has lived ever since. Scott’s history and triumphs against adversity led to unlikely and unexpected success as an attorney, government official, nonprofit executive, entrepreneur, and community leader in one of the toughest cities on earth. His journey has flown in the face of those who believed that individuals like him — working folks, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community — could not and should not succeed, let alone lead. 

His ability to jump over barriers, consistently perform at the the highest levels across professional sectors, and repeatedly reinvent himself have given his message genuine authority and intellectual heft. And it has given him a zealot's passion for ensuring that others never lose the internal fuel that will rocket them to ultimate levels of personal satisfaction and achievement.

In today’s world with more distractions than ever, we tend to focus on one or two of these at most, neglecting the others. But the secret sauce is to find BALANCE in all five - to fire on all five cylinders. They are equally important and so must be treated with equal attention and care.

Caleb and his wife began their married life by purchasing more than 50 books about writing. The newlyweds would often pen stories for hours at a time while serving as live-in night managers at a retirement facility. Caleb spent the next decade breaking into the traditional publishing industry. He sold 20,000 books but found himself unsatisfied with the results. 

So he took a four-year break to learn marketing secrets from a mentor who'd spent $1 billion in online ads. What good is a message, after all, if you can’t get it out to the world? Now he's helped hundreds of aspiring authors write books, build platforms, and win book contracts. Caleb believes books are the big domino that knock down all of the MASSIVE aspects of impacting souls, such as building your authority, growing your fanbase, accelerating your profits, and increasing your influence. 

Writing a book helps you do work you're passionate about and leaves a legacy that stands the test of time. The words Caleb longs to hear at the end of his life were penned hundreds of years before his birth in Numbers 14:24: "But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land." He lives in Washington State with his wife, Brittney, and enjoys visits from two mischievous mini huskies and a smiley Shiba Inu.

At nineteen, Laura founded Vision Advertising, a Massachusetts marketing firm. Over the years, the company grew to become a multi-award-winning agency with a solid reputation, millions in revenue, and national recognition. For nearly twenty years, Laura relentlessly pursued the highest of standards, defying tradition to be the first to bring many cutting-edge technologies to her clients. She is a well-known marketing thought-leader and educator in the area, responsible for educating many other marketing companies on new strategies and tools.

During her career at Vision Advertising, Laura accumulated 18 awards to include two Torch Awards from the Better Business Bureau and the Forty Under 40 Award at age twenty-three. She was frequently featured on TV and radio, most notably including multiple appearances on FOX News. Laura routinely gave speeches and led workshops for area business organizations, universities, and special interest groups like the Massachusetts Restaurant Association.

With a soft spot for ambitious college students (having been a very young entrepreneur herself), women’s issues, and animals, Laura always felt it was important to be a helper and a mentor in the community. She built many entrepreneur-education and internship programs, and became the benefactor of a handful of local organizations dedicated to women’s abuse recovery and animal rescue services.

At thirty-seven, Laura retired as active CEO of Vision Advertising, turning over the reins to her successor, maintaining ownership of the company.

Right before her retirement, Laura was exhausted and depressed. She had made the disappointing discovery that no matter how much you love something; you can still get burnt out. This inspired her to take massive, motivated action and set out on a personal research project that changed her life, and subsequently many others. Laura’s research project resulted in massive change in her own life, her energy level, physical health, emotional healing, and for the first time in years – genuine happiness. Laura sold her beloved home in Massachusetts and moved to Maui with her husband, and has been adventuring, sharing her ideas, and empowering others to find true happiness.

The astounding results of her research project resulted in findings that became “The Six Habits.” Laura had uncovered the truth of happiness and what it really is. She further uncovered what habits are required for a truly happy life, and how to master those habits. The Six Habits is a book that teaches the importance of a constructive relationship with ourselves and provides specific instructions on developing mastery. The Six Habits is available as a paperback, ebook, and audio book at thesixhabits.com.

The powerful impact of The Six Habits seen in Laura’s own life, clients, and colleagues paved the way for “The Six Habits – 90 Day Habit Mastery” program, and “The Six Habits Coaching Framework” – both available now.

Laura is a TEDx speaker and is a guest on popular podcasts including “Wings of Inspired Business” and “Soul Powered.” She is an active blogger with an engaged blogging and social platform. She is available for speeches, guest-appearances on podcasts, TV, and radio, guest-appearances in magazines and online channels.

Nick has spent more than 10 years in retail, owning customer interactions across the Western United States for Zumiez – the global leader in action sports retail. During his time in retail he recognized most brands were taking a passive role in the customer experience. Set out to change that dynamic, he joined Skullcandy in 2010 to build an active global channel strategy focused on empowering sales associates to drive retail sell through. In 2012 Nick moved to GoPro to lead global brand advocacy through experiential product education with retailers, distributors, media, athletes, creators, and end users.

Recognizing many brands were still struggling to amplify advocacy, he accepted a marketing leadership role at ExpertVoice – the world’s largest advocacy platform, where Nick was responsible for helping brands like Reebok, The North Face, Purina, Oakley, and others to create comprehensive advocacy strategies designed to increase loyalty and drive sales. Nick is a contributing author for the American Advertising Federation, Utah Business, and is featured in numerous marketing and technology publications. Nick is often on stage at conferences around the globe, sharing insights on what makes the best brands in the world.

He enjoys leading all areas of marketing including B2B and B2C as Nick believes the core of all marketing is rooted in telling authentic stories, building trust, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. Some of his specialties include: content marketing, advocacy programs, retail, demand generation, consumer acquisition, product marketing, writing, and public speaking.

Extract from Chapter 7: The Extraordinary Day. "I set aside one whole day each week for personal thinking time. Time to think, reflect and consider my next steps as a business owner, partner and father. Time dedicated to the 'great work'. I call this my ‘Extraordinary Day’.

My ‘Extraordinary Day’ is full of work that excites and challenges me. Work that drives my business forward with purpose and vigour. Work which requires me to push the limits of my imagination. One of the joys of the ‘Extraordinary Day’ is the huge variety of work it brings. Friday is my ‘Extraordinary Day’ and you will usually find me doing a combination of reviewing the growth plans for my business, brainstorming new marketing campaigns, creating content for my podcast, or simply pondering my next big step as an entrepreneur.

As an entrepreneur your creative energy is the driving force behind your business and the ‘Extraordinary Day’ frees your mind to ponder the challenges of today and the endless possibilities of tomorrow. If, like me, you love a tapas working lifestyle filled with interesting and inspiring work, then your next ‘Extraordinary Day’ won’t come around quick enough."

As humans, we are meant to be connected.

We cannot survive in isolation.

For businesses, you’re now having to figure out how to operate your teams remotely if you haven’t already done so.

Your marketing plans that involved conferences are now needing to be rethought and pivoted in new directions.

You may be having to make some difficult decisions in laying off personnel.

But I’m here to say that right now is not a time to despair because joy is on the horizon.

Hope is here. And it’s time to dream.

That’s why all next week, I’m going to be broadcasting messages of hope and perseverance.The one thing that we can do RIGHT NOW is to further human connection by sharing our stories.

The concept of profit has always been a paradox - to gain more than you give. Through a unique circumstance of events in my life, that definition has changed: the real impact happens when you give with your whole heart - a contribution that means more than money, fame, or power.

Join me on a mission to navigate the underpinnings of the business world, the real issues going on in todays world while we uncover the diamonds in the rough, the moments of clarity, and the light at the top of the hilltop.

This channel includes short films, interviews, and outpourings of creative freedom that express more to life than the pursuit of profit as we know it. It's more than business, it's Prof!t With Heart.
