How often have you thought, "I'm just one Voice. How can I make an impact?" Turns out, your one Voice may affect more change than you could ever imagine.

Tune in to hear Marguerite's story of growing up in a mother-and-ba...

Questioning how productive you really are while WFH? Wondering how to switch off when your work life is your home life is your work life (and repeat)?

Have a dream to share your Voice by writing and publishing a book? Wonder how to create space through a membership that makes a true impact on your niche? Today on ARRIVED., I chat with an old friend from my London days, Rachel Hills , who has done both.

Show of hands: how often have you put your needs aside to accommodate the wants of others? How often have you felt burned out, resentful, or drained because you've put yourself and your Voice last? If you're raising your hand (like I am!) you may be guilty of breaking your own boundaries. Today on ARRIVED., I chat to the queen of healthy boundary-setting, Nancy Levin , about the no. 1 myth of boundary-setting; the sneaky ways in which we sublimate our own needs to accommodate others; why NOT set...

One of the best ways to scale your business model and leverage the power your Voice (aside from podcasting!) is to create an online course.

So, how can you be one of the 3% that succeed in adding a course to their business model?

When it comes to learning a new skill and working toward your goals, do you love asking questions? Do you seek out trainers, mentors and peers to help you navigate the answers?

This week, I'm using my biggest challenge to date – puppy training! – as a metaphor for learning the answers, and mastering a skillset by the...

It's almost Thanksgiving. The time of year we're supposed to put on a stupid nubbly sweater and 'count our blessings'. But what if – like me! – you're not feeling especially grateful this year?

When it comes to finding one's voice – and feelings of arrival – what we say to ourselves (our inner voice ) is incredibly important. The word 'just' can be the most dangerous four letter word in the English language; it can act to subconsciously downplay our lifestyle – or worse – our self-esteem, especially when we use it in the context of talking about oneself and our accomplishments. Today on the show, I'm giving three examples of how we can diminish our own greatness – and our voice – with ...

How can we use this continued pandemic life as a catalyst (not an excuse!) to get back on track and back to our goals and positive routines? Find out today, on ARRIVED. This ep...

Over the course of 39 episodes of ARRIVED., I've interviewed coaches, designers, fitness instructors, tech entrepreneurs & authors to help single men bring their A-game home.

In our collective attempt to create lasting change in an unjust world – to peacefully advocate for equality – we can easily inundate ourselves and lose sight of our own daily needs – whether we're black or white. Our advocacy and activism, if left unbounded, can lead to burnout, illness and ineffectiveness. Today on the show, I share some of my early experiences, misinterpretations, and a-ha moments in educating myself on white privilege; and show you gents how you can continue to educate, be ed...

Feeling less than productive these days? It's a collective thing. The pandemic, and its aftermath, have slowed the productivity levels of virtually everyone. Instead of accepting giving ourselves a much needed break from our pre-pandemic life time management regimen, we instead are deluged with news articles, podcast episodes and our social media feeds telling us how we can learn a new language, drop those last 20 lbs or even start our dream business with all that spare time we suddenly have dur...
