There is no right time. We've all heard the famous "just do it" routine so many times it's become meaningless, but "just doing it" isn't enough. That's why, in the most powerful episode I've ever recorded, I'm moving you directly from doing nothing to visualizing and then accomplishing whatever dream you have.
It's time for Clara to come back to kickstart our month and year. New Year's Resolutions are being shoved down all of our throats right now, and Clara and I have very different ideas about them.

Your conclusion is one of the most important parts of your speech, second only to the introduction. If you don't nail the end, your entire presentation is now worthless. This is the time to rally people together, remind them of what you talked about, and influence them towards a positive action. So I'm breaking down how I created my best conclusion ever.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but one stands out above the rest when I think of the damage it did to my success.

I'm really sick of sources for information on business (and most other news sources, to be honest) giving a false idea that, since this famous entrepreneur has this habit, you can find success by implementing it as well. It's just not true. And while we're on the topic, I delve into the idea of procrastination through learning, and how to know when it's time to take action.
Clara is back! And this time, we're discussing the aspect of luck when it comes to success in business and life. We also veer into how this plays into burnout and how we deal with huge amounts of stress.

In January of this year, today’s guest reached the summit of the tallest mountain in Antarctica, making him one of the few people in the world who have climbed to the top of the tallest mountain on every continent. In fact, more people have orbited in space than have reached the top of the 7 summits. In addition, his Mt. Everest climb was featured on the TV show, 60 Minutes’ and in media acros...

I did something a little different today. Instead of my just talking into my mic for all of you, this time I prepared a speech. I'm passionate about a lot of things, but one of them is determination.

In this episode, I go over practical steps you can take to get out of a job you hate.
Impromptu speaking is something very misunderstood. Many people think that you have to have a natural gift if you want to be good at it, but I'm here to tell you that's wrong. I have 3 concrete steps to dominating off the cuff speaking.

So I dove into sales, learned from some mentors, and improved my sales game. I have for you today my top three ways for you to succeed at sales.

This episode looks at how we can walk through the steps to create a solid personal brand and instead improve your self-worth and confidence.
You might make the assumption that because I'm a public speaker I must be extroverted. Right? But you couldn't be more wrong. Over the years of public speaking and networking, I've built the skills I needed to overcome my comfort in being introverted by myself and talk to anyone and everyone about absalutly anyting.
Oh boy. This is a big one. Every day, college is becoming more and more debated whether it's worth the time, stress, and money.

In this episode, I break down my take on the pros and cons of each route.
I've given certain friends an ultimatum. If I ever begin needlessly complaining, they have every right to smack me across the face. Thankfully, they've never had cause to act upon my request. I know you want to move forward. I know you want to find success in some way or another. And you know what? Nothing is going to happen until you drop your complaining and excuses and you start taking action. Stop asking someone to do something and instead be that someone. I think you might be able to tell t...
