043 Tina Comrie | Success is NOT Achievable Without Others

Tina has made enough mistakes to warrant destroying her career 10 times over. But mistakes aren’t what limit your success, learning from mistakes is what fuels success!
 
She may have graduated as an accountant but she quickly moved into the creative, branding & publishing industry straight out of uni. It was all by chance but it’s a choice she would make every time.
 
And through out this journey, there have been times where it felt like success was just out of reach.
 
But that’s not where the story ends.
 
This conversation is about the power of learning from your mistakes instead of being ruined by them.
 
It’s about treating every challenge as an opportunity to level up.

042 André Alphonso | It’s never too late to be Successful

At age 42, Andre was on the operating table for a routine check up and, in an instant, the room became a chaotic emergency scene. He was told, while conscious, that he probably won’t survive.
 
Andre grew up privileged until 12 years old, then faced intense racism throughout highschool, then went on to have a high flying “successful” career before unexpectedly losing his marriage and his relationship with 3 children for years. He made the changes he needed in his own life and his mindset to become the amazing mentor, coach, educator and leader that he is today.
 
This conversation shows that no matter what your age is, young or old, it’s never too late to change.
 
Andre shares how his values were set from a young age and he was unable to change them. But instead, through revealing them, he was capable of redesigning his life around how he can live in concert with those values.
 
And the results speak for themselves.
 
He’s profitable, influential & philanthropic with his time.
 
His marriage has never been better and his relationship with his kids have never been stronger.
 
This is his journey.
 
It’s a must listen!

041 Jai Kith Part 2 | The Meditation Practise That Actually Makes Your Life Better

Most people don’t improve their lives with meditation. And it’s usually due to 1 or more of 3 reasons:
 
1 Their meditation acts like an escape: “Run away from your problems by distracting yourself with your breath”
2 Their meditation only works when they are in a quiet space with no distractions
3 They have no accountability, structure or support to be consistent and see exceptional results.
 
In this conversation, Jai Kith & Harry Goldberg share the form of meditation they have been teaching to groups and individuals alike.
 
They have seen their clients experience tremendous success in their emotional wellbeing, connection with loved ones and achievements in their careers and businesses.
 
There is also a basic guided meditation for you to practise, should you choose.

040 Priya Narthakii | Values for Success in Marriage, Parenting & Business

Priya has had a pretty extraordinary life so far. And what changed her direction is raw, authentic & inspiring.
 
At age 7, she was a professional “child prodigy” Indian dance performer. She’s completed 2 degrees in 3 years, 2 masters in 1 year, deferred medical degree and studied business instead, built incredibly successful businesses, been a high flyer business consultant and then one moment changed it all.
 
Her son’s first word was not “amma” or “mama”. It was “Priya”.
 
She quit her job, pursued connection, focused on family and reconnected with spirituality.
 
But perhaps the most inspiring part of Priya’s journey today is her marriage, her relationship with her children & her childrens’ success.
 
She shares how she and her husband went from the brink of divorce to a marriage to strive for.

034 Beth Stallwood | This is How You Achieve a Joyful Life

Beth teaches, coaches, writes & speaks about how to live a joyful life.
 
Her message is worth hearing.
 
This conversation focuses on success from the perspective of how much you are enjoying your life. From a career perspective, are you feeling “Workjoy”? Or are you feeling “Workgloom”?
 
And specifically, it’s not about creating happiness in your life.
 
It’s about creating joy.
 
The small things which make life meaningful.
 
Should you work on your strengths? Should you outsource your weaknesses? Should you avoid the things you dislike doing? Should you avoid sacrifice? Should we bring our whole selves to work? When’s it time to make a change in your life?
 
These are the types of questions we explore.
 
Enjoy!
