Yes, You Can Do It All: How I Made My Dream Career a Reality
Today, I’m sharing a special episode with all of you… I got the honor to speak to students at UCSB on behalf of the alumni community, and I wanted to invite my Regardless family to join our conversation.

Got Confidence? Stepping Into Your Confidence & Personal Power to Conquer Dates, Interviews & More
POV: The waiter makes his way to you and asks, “And for you?” You have to act fast. Do you convince your best friend to go half-and-half with her entree? Do you ask the waiter which is his favorite dish? Do you say one thing, and then change your mind? Or, do you actually know what you want?
Confidence (or lack thereof) can manifest in many ways– even in something as simple as ordering food at a restaurant. There’s actually a pretty clear connection between decisiveness, ego, and confidence.
Today we’re diving into all things confidence with David Suson. As an author and keynote speaker in leadership, he specializes in helping you expose and address blind spots that are keeping you from achieving your sales, performance, and leadership goals. Tune in as he teach us the key to unlocking personal power and confidence in all areas of our lives:
⚡️What is confidence, really?
⚡The correlation between confidence, leadership, and decisiveness
⚡️Identifying your developmental “marker moments”
⚡️How your ego can prevent decisiveness
⚡️Harnessing confidence in dating, interviews, and all life settings
⚡️The power of daily affirmation practice
