    Break Your Money Story

    Today on Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Ben Millan, Owner of Serenity Retirement and Retirement Planning Specialist, whose journey into the financial industry wasn't inspired by wealth—it was inspired by love. Growing up, Ben watched his father work hard while struggling financially. Instead of allowing that experience to define his future, he made a decision that would shape the rest of his life: he would break the cycle. What began as a desire to protect his parents and provide a different future for his own family became a lifelong mission to help others build financial confidence, security, and a lasting legacy. Throughout our conversation, Ben shares why success begins long before your bank account changes. It begins with changing the story you tell yourself, embracing new possibilities, and having the courage to become someone your past never prepared you to be. In This Episode, We Discuss Break Your Money Story The circumstances you were born into may influence your relationship with money, but they don't have to define your future. Ben shares how watching his father struggle financially became the catalyst, not the excuse, for creating a different life for himself and his family. Your greatest challenges can become the foundation for your greatest purpose. Change Your Mindset Before You Change Your Finances Financial success isn't simply about earning more money—it's about believing you're capable of creating a different future. Ben introduces the concept of your "financial thermostat" and explains why lasting success begins by raising your expectations of what's possible before your income ever changes. Build a Legacy—Not Just a Career Everything changed when Ben stopped thinking of himself as someone working in a business and started leading one. That shift in perspective transformed his work from a career into a legacy, one designed to create generational opportunity for his children and positively impact the families he serves. Growth Requires Openness, Curiosity, and the Willingness to Evolve Whether it's embracing new technology, learning from mentors, or challenging long-held beliefs, Ben believes the greatest opportunities belong to those who remain open to change. The people who continue learning are the ones who continue growing. Failure Isn't the Opposite of Success—It's Part of the Journey The most successful people aren't the ones who avoid failure; they're the ones who refuse to let failure stop them. Ben shares why persistence, discipline, and relentless commitment ultimately matter more than talent, and how every setback becomes preparation for what's next. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may shape our story, but they don't have to determine the ending. The moment we become aware of the beliefs we've inherited and are willing to question them is the moment we begin writing a new chapter. With openness, curiosity, and the courage to grow, we can transform our experiences into purpose, create new possibilities for ourselves, and build a legacy that changes the future for the generations that follow. Carry This Forward Notice What story have you been telling yourself that it's time to rewrite? Reflect What beliefs have you inherited that continue to shape that story? Act What's one courageous step you can take this week to begin writing your next chapter?

    Owning Your Story and Breaking Barriers in Media with Erin Saxton

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Guest Name, Erin Saxton, Emmy-nominated TV producer and PR and Media expert of The Erin Network. She candidly shares how lifelong self-discovery, resilience, and curiosity have shaped her story, offering practical lessons on valuing yourself and finding purpose through life's challenges. In today's episode, we discuss: Audit the influences in your upbringing. Notice which family members shaped your habits and values, both the qualities you wanted to emulate and those you didn't. Use this pattern recognition to build intentional behaviors in your own life, learning from their successes and missteps so you can consciously choose what to pass on or set aside. Challenge limiting beliefs about self-worth. Recognize where early experiences, like being judged for your appearance, may have shaped your self-image. By bringing these narratives to the surface, you can break free from their grip and learn to value yourself beyond external validation, allowing for greater confidence in all facets of life. Transform challenges into motivation. When faced with setbacks or fears, treat them as personal dares to grow. This mindset reframes difficult experiences into purposeful action, inspiring resilience and driving you to break through barriers rather than remain stuck. Find the angle that makes your story stand out. If you want to get noticed—whether in business or life—don't just follow the crowd. Shift your perspective ever slightly to uncover what makes you unique. This "one degree" of difference is what creates opportunities, gets you seen, and ensures you're not lost in a sea of sameness. Keep moving forward, no matter what. Embrace resilience as a daily mantra: even on tough days, prioritize action over inertia. This practice maintains momentum, builds emotional strength, and models for others that persistence is often the key differentiator in long-term success.   Guest Bio: Erin Saxton is a four-time Emmy-nominated television producer, PR strategist, and founder of eleven Communications, The Erin Network, and Erin on Demand.

    Stefoni Rossiter - Still Becoming ~ More Living with Openness, curiosity, and possibility

    Rather than answers, this celebrates curiosity and openness. It affirms that becoming isn't about arriving, it's about staying awake to possibility. Core question: What does "more" mean to you now, and how will you make room for it? Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Stefoni Rossiter, retired educator, caregiver, and creative spirit. She shares how this season of transition has opened the door to deeper self-trust, creativity, and a more compassionate way of becoming. In today's episode, we discuss: Pay attention to what has always drawn you in. The things we were naturally curious about early in life often still point toward what matters most to us now. Looking back can help you notice patterns you may have overlooked and reconnect with parts of yourself that are still waiting to be used. Creativity does not have an expiration date. Whether it is sketching, journaling, cooking, gardening, writing, or building something with your hands, trying something new can open up a different kind of confidence. You do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Your role can change without your value changing. A transition like retirement, caregiving, or a career shift can leave you wondering who you are without your old responsibilities. Identity can expand, and a new season does not erase the impact of the one before it. Self-care can be practical and personal. It does not have to look fancy to matter. For Stefoni, routines, movement, reading, gardening, and creative time all help her stay grounded, and that is a good reminder that self-care works best when it actually fits your life. You do not have to do it perfectly to do it well. Stefoni's willingness to try, fail, adjust, and keep going is part of what makes her story so relatable. That same mindset can help anyone loosen their grip on perfection and make room for growth.   RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Stefoni Rossiter is a veteran theater arts performer, director, and choreographer with over 50 years of experience.   Retiring from full-time teaching in 2024, she now teaches middle school theater arts part-time at a local charter school.   Awards: Parent of the Year, Autism Society Ventura, California, Mayor's Award for Arts Educator of the Year 6 Teachers of the semester awards Teacher of the year Inducted into the Hall of Fame  Since retirement, Stefoni has learned to fill her days with self-care, which includes incorporating daily creativity.

    Still Becoming: Beyond Achievement: What Happens When Success Stops Being The Point with Stephanie Baker

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Stephanie Baker, Chief Experience Officer and artist. She highlights her journey of moving beyond achievement, sharing how embracing vulnerability, creativity, and leading with empathy has redefined what true success means, for herself, her teams, and those she mentors. In today's episode, we discuss: Reimagine your definition of success. Step back from titles and checkboxes. Ask yourself whether your work aligns with your core values and your true impact. When your work is a reflection of who you are, fulfillment finds you, not the other way around. Lead with empathy and inclusion. Performance isn't just about KPIs; it's about how people feel in your presence. When you foster empathy, inclusion, and psychological safety, you build teams that are resilient, innovative, and engaged at every level. Make becoming a lifelong pursuit. You don't have to have it all figured out. The most effective, impactful leaders are those who stay open to growth and keep redefining who they are—at work and in life. Protect your energy unapologetically. Learn to say "no"—and realize that it's a complete sentence. Being deliberate with your time and focus allows you to say "yes" to what truly matters and show up at your best. Give yourself permission to explore new interests. Try picking up something new—painting, mentoring, creating. You never know which hidden strengths or sources of joy are waiting for you. (Check out her paintings in the show notes. She is GIFTED!)   RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Stephanie Baker is a Senior operations executive with 20+ years of experience driving enterprise performance and operational excellence. A trusted partner to CEOs and Boards, I specialize in aligning people, processes, and technology to deliver exceptional outcomes for customers and employees. Recognized for building inclusive, engaged teams and leading transformational change with clarity and purpose.

    Still Becoming, Untapped Courage: The Bravery Required To Choose More, With Elizabeth Haggerty

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Elizabeth Haggerty,  EVP Customer Solutions, America's Division, CRH. She highlights how navigating life's and career pivots, unexpected business challenges, and a life-changing health diagnosis led her to discover untapped reserves of courage and resilience, offering real-life strategies to thrive through uncertainty and continual growth. In today's episode, we discuss: Adopt the "one foot in, one foot out" approach. When considering a new role or industry, bring core skills you already have while stretching into new territory, so you're growing without completely untethering yourself. Let your setbacks refine, not define, you. When a business is sold, or a role ends abruptly, even through being fired, treat it as a painful but powerful pivot point, not a verdict on your worth or future potential. Integrate joy and self-care into your life. Make space for passions, hobbies, and relationships outside of work. These experiences not only enhance your overall well-being but also give you energy and perspective to face professional challenges with renewed spirit. Redefine your identity beyond job titles. Reflect on how external achievements and positions have shaped your sense of self. Shift your focus from titles to your skill sets, values, and unique contributions. This empowers you to navigate transitions and derive fulfillment from multiple aspects of life. Release the need to do everything alone. Accept that asking for help is a sign of wisdom, not weakness. Rely on your team's expertise and focus on asking insightful questions. This collaborative approach strengthens outcomes and develops your leadership. Guest Bio: Elizabeth Haggerty is a high-impact executive with over a 35-year history of driving growth and profitability in the building products industry.   Starting in the HVAC industry leading global product and channel P&Ls before transitioning to the industrial material products space where she has led large P&L businesses and key customer growth strategies.   Liz has experience in green fielding businesses as well as leading turn arounds and corporate carve-outs.   All of this done through building and developing high performing teams and investing in leadership development.  She has a bachelor's and master's degree in metallurgical engineering and an MBA.  Elizabeth has been recognized by:  Glass Magazine as one of the industry's Most Influential People,  Engineered Systems Magazine as 20 Women to Watch  HVAC and by Industry Week for women in manufacturing.   She was also recognized by the Manufacturing Institute a Women in Manufacturing Step Ahead Honoree in 2021.

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with  Melissa Muir, acclaimed jewelry artist and teacher. She highlights how embracing life's unexpected pivot points opens new paths for creativity, personal growth, and transformation. In today's episode, we discuss: Honor your pivot points. Notice the moments whernt feels like a dead end. What would be different if you chose to see it as a time to redesign? Use every closed door or "mistake" as information for your next step. Allow creativity to be learned. Release the belief that you're "not creative" and give yourself permission to practice, experiment, and grow your skills one imperfect attempt at a time. Come home to your own truth. Gently question inherited beliefs, rules, and expectations so you can build a true relationship with yourself, the divine, and others that feels loving, spacious, and genuinely your. Choose communities that help you flourish. Intentionally seek out people who are curious, creative, and kind, knowing that "creativity breeds creativity" and you don't have to do it alone. Talk gently to your younger self. Revisit the bullied, lonely, or hurting version of you and let them know what's coming, so you can release old pain and stand more fully in who you are now.

    Still Becoming: Embracing the Lifelong Evolution of Success and Meaning

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with you as I launch the new "Still Becoming" series. I highlight how the journey of growth and self-discovery continues long after success is achieved, inviting you to explore the moments of untapped courage, unexpected opportunities, and personal evolution that unfold beyond traditional milestones. In today's episode, we discuss: Explore life beyond achievement. Reflect on the moment when hitting goals and earning recognition stopped answering everything, and consider whether it's time to redesign what success looks like for you now. Listen for your quiet evolution. Notice the subtle inner shifts, new perspectives, expanded freedom, unexpected gentleness with yourself, that change how you see your work, your impact, and what's truly possible. Let the unexpected become a doorway. Revisit the chapters you never planned, a random elevator conversation, a surprise opportunity, a path you "stumbled into", that you now wouldn't give back for anything. Tap your untapped courage. Acknowledge the deeper reservoir of bravery it takes to step away from predictability, trust your inner knowing, and say yes when your path is no longer obvious or linear. Choose meaning over momentum. Ask where you're sprinting on autopilot and where you're ready to consciously trade speed for impact, alignment, and the kind of contribution that actually matters to you. Define what "more" means for you now. Let go of one-size-fits-all ambitions and get curious about your current version of "more" in this season—more joy, more presence, more service, more creativity—and honor that as valid and enough.

    Do you have your own back this year?

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I dive into exploring a simple but often overlooked question: Have you set yourself up for success, or expecting yourself to "just make it happen"? This conversation isn't about fixing what you've done in the past or pushing harder in the year ahead. It's about approaching your goals with greater clarity, compassion, and intention—so what matters most has a real chance to take root. In this episode, I reflect on: What it truly means to set yourself up for success Not through pressure or perfection, but through thoughtful preparation that builds confidence and capacity over time. How to reverse-engineer what you want to experience, create, or achieve Looking at daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly rhythms that support growth in a way that's sustainable and realistic. Why warming up matters, on and off the field Using a pole-vaulting metaphor to explore how gradual expansion and attention to form prepare you for new levels of leadership and impact. The value of pausing to distinguish desire from obligation Gently asking whether a goal truly reflects what you want now—or whether it's something you've been carrying out of habit or expectation. At its heart, this episode is an invitation to replace self-demand with self-leadership, and to remember that professional success and personal fulfillment are not competing goals. They are meant to grow together. If you're looking to begin 2026 with greater clarity, alignment, and momentum, so better prepare yourself for celebrations at the end of the year, rather than disappointment with a list of things you did not accomplish. This podcast episode is for you.
