    Growth Warrior: Aligning Personal Values with Professional Success with Lenore Kantor

    Send us a text Transformational coach Lenore Kantor takes us on a journey beyond the hamster wheel of achievement in this thought-provoking conversation about aligning our authentic selves with our professional pursuits. Drawing from her twenty-year corporate career and subsequent evolution into the founder of Growth Warrior, Lenore shares powerful insights about the trap many high achievers fall into: chasing external validation while disconnecting from their core values. "One way people can get out of alignment is they're trying to accomplish something outside of them, to make their parents happy, to compete with their friends," she explains. This pursuit often leaves successful professionals feeling empty despite checking all the conventional success boxes. What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Lenore's practical approach to creating meaningful change. She walks us through her process of helping clients recognize when they've outgrown certain beliefs, visualize new possibilities, and most importantly, create space for transformation. Her framework balances quantitative metrics with qualitative values—acknowledging that while numbers matter, relationships, connection, and alignment create true fulfillment. The discussion takes a fascinating turn when exploring how we become trapped by our own rules and assumptions. "They're covered by rules that we put in place at some point to help us stay safe," notes host Nicole, to which Lenore adds that many clients struggle to see beyond these self-imposed limitations. Through client stories and personal experiences, Lenore demonstrates how visualization exercises and gratitude practices can help break through these barriers. Ready to move beyond endless achievement without fulfillment? This episode provides both the inspiration and practical tools to align your professional path with your authentic self. Listen now to discover why creating space—physically, emotionally, and mentally—might be the first crucial step toward the meaningful success you're truly seeking.

    Reclaiming Joy: Breaking Free from Achievement Culture with Ronni

    Send us a text Nicole and Ronni explore the transformative power of reclaiming joy as our default state rather than something to chase externally. They discuss how self-awareness and conscious choice create ripple effects that positively impact every area of life. • Joy is our default state that gets blocked by various life circumstances • Self-leadership means recognizing thought patterns that no longer serve us • Making one significant change creates positive ripples across all life areas • The true self has eight core traits: calm, courageous, clarity, compassionate, curious, connected, creative • Gratitude functions as fuel that creates momentum and possibility • Pausing to replace fear-based thoughts with empowering ones breaks the cycle of stress • Boundaries are essential for creating work-life harmony Check out Ronni's community "Networking Naturally" and her free "Boundaries and Balance" masterclass to learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt.

    Weaponizing Joy: The Strategic Path to True Fulfillment with Jennifer Gomez

    Send us a text What if joy could be your most powerful weapon? Not against others, but against fear, burnout, and unfulfillment?  In this transformative conversation, Jennifer Gomez (The Joyful Strategist) reveals how weaponizing joy can become your strategic advantage in leadership and life. She shares her personal journey from external happiness to authentic inner joy after experiencing a complete life reset that forced her to examine what truly brought fulfillment. Jennifer distinguishes between happiness—a fleeting emotion tied to external circumstances—and joy—a sustainable state of peace and contentment. Positioned just below enlightenment on the emotional spectrum, joy remains curiously underexplored in psychology despite its transformative power. We explore the concept of "joy anchors"—those small moments of gratitude or contentment that can sustain us through challenging times. By intentionally creating and remembering these anchors, we train our brains to notice more positive experiences around us, creating an upward spiral of joy. For leaders especially, joy becomes a competitive advantage. How many organizations suffer from burnout, low retention, and toxic cultures because leaders operate from fear rather than joy? When we lead from authentic joy, influence becomes natural and impact more meaningful. Perhaps most revolutionary is Jennifer's challenge to flip the traditional 80/20 rule. What if we spent 80% of our energy on activities that bring joy and only 20% on those that drain us? This isn't about abandoning responsibilities but redesigning our approach to life.

    Rebuilding a Marriage While Growing a Business with Jenny Townsend

    Send us a text Every entrepreneur dreams of building a thriving business, but what happens when that success comes at the cost of your most important relationships? Jenny Townsend's powerful journey reveals exactly what's at stake when we focus solely on professional achievement while neglecting personal connections. As founder and CEO of Music Compound, Jenny built an impressive music education company with 32 team members and growing success. Yet behind the scenes, her marriage was crumbling. The wake-up call came in 2018 when she discovered her husband's affair with a coworker. Rather than simply playing victim, Jenny took a remarkable approach: she owned her contribution to the breakdown. "I had to say, 'Yes, I didn't care about our marriage. Yes, I worked until eight o'clock every night. Yes, I decided to work over spending quality time with family,'" Jenny reveals with striking candor. This accountability became the foundation for rebuilding not just her marriage but her entire approach to life and business. What makes this conversation particularly valuable for entrepreneurs is Jenny's discovery that stepping away from her business actually improved it. When she followed her mentor's advice to walk away for a month, her team stepped up in extraordinary ways. "They totally took the company from red to black. They made it from old school to new school," she explains. This counterintuitive lesson—that rest is actually an income-producing activity—transformed how she approaches leadership. Jenny shares practical wisdom for maintaining work-life balance, including the importance of clearly communicating your vision to your team, being transparent about challenges, and defining your role when transitioning between different levels of involvement in your business. She recommends all entrepreneurs periodically step away from their businesses to build team independence and gain fresh perspective. The personal crisis inspired Jenny to create "The Stroke It Guide" book and podcast, where she explores how everyone needs to feel "stroked"—loved, validated, and appreciated—whether they're your spouse, your employees, or yourself. Her ground rules for relationship repair, particularly the crucial first ste Support the show Unlock the secrets to online business success with these FREE and low-cost resources from Nicole! -Join our supportive FB Group to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and get exclusive tips and advice: https://nicoletuxbury.com/facebook -Get your copy of the Best of the Profit Machine Summit Book shipped to you to learn from 15+ experts on how to turn your online business into a Profit Machine for only $13! https://nicoletuxbury.com/profit-machine-summit-e-book/ - Get instant access to the Coaches Guide To Print on Demand Video Course + Spreadsheet for only $17: https://nicoletuxbury.com/product/coaches-guide-to-pod-with-resource-file/ Explore these amazing resources and start your journey to success today!

    Mastering SEO: How to Get Found Online Without Spending on Ads with Brandon Leibowitz

    Send us a text The mystery of SEO continues to baffle many business owners despite its incredible power to drive free, targeted traffic to websites. In this enlightening conversation with SEO expert Brandon Leibowitz, we unpack the fundamentals of search engine optimization in a way that's refreshingly accessible and immediately applicable. Brandon shares a startling revelation about how changing just one letter in your keyword strategy could potentially increase your traffic tenfold. Using the example of "personal injury lawyer" versus "personal injury lawyers," he demonstrates how simple research can dramatically impact your visibility. The conversation demystifies keyword research through free tools like Google Keyword Planner and clever tactics like analyzing competitor strategies and utilizing Google's autocomplete feature. Beyond keywords, we explore the critical role of backlinks—those digital votes of confidence from other websites that signal trustworthiness to Google. Brandon emphasizes that modern backlink building is about quality rather than quantity, and shares practical ways to acquire these valuable links through relationships and value-offering, including podcast appearances, guest blogging, and providing expert commentary. He explains why examining competitor backlinks can reveal opportunities you might otherwise miss. What about SEO in the age of AI? Despite concerns that tools like ChatGPT might make traditional SEO obsolete, Brandon explains why optimization remains crucial. As long as people are searching somewhere—whether on Google, YouTube, or through AI interfaces—there are ways to improve visibility. For those looking to optimize for AI discovery, Brandon recommends focusing on answering common questions people ask about your topics. Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or marketing professional, this conversation offers both foundational knowledge and advanced insights to help you harness the power of organic search. The most valuable takeaway? Patience. Unlike paid advertising, SEO is an investment that builds over time, rewarding those who consistently apply best practices with sustainable, free traffic that doesn't disappear when the ad budget runs out.

    Redefining Your "All": Breaking Free from Burnout with Jo Stone

    Send us a text What happens when you finally achieve everything you thought would make you happy, only to discover it's left you exhausted, guilty, and disconnected from yourself? That's exactly where Jo Stone found herself - Chief Marketing Officer for a listed company, mother of two, serving on a non-profit board, competing in triathlons, and living in the dream house she built from scratch. By all external measures, she'd succeeded brilliantly. Yet something was profoundly wrong. Jo takes us on her courageous journey of what she calls "ego death" - selling her meticulously designed dream house (with its color-coded bookshelves and carefully researched water features), quitting her executive position, and essentially blowing up the life she'd built to discover what truly mattered. Through tears and fierce self-examination, she confronted the uncomfortable truth that much of what she'd been striving for wasn't actually bringing her joy or fulfillment. Today, as founder of The Balance Institute, Jo helps ambitious women avoid the burnout path she experienced. She shares powerful insights about reconnecting with our authentic selves, practicing "micro-doses" of self-care instead of rare extravagant self-care days, and moving beyond superficial gratitude practices to genuine embodied joy. Her most liberating message? "You can have it all, but only once you work out what YOUR all is." This distinction frees us from chasing others' definitions of success and allows us to create lives that truly resonate with our deepest values. Whether you're questioning your current path, feeling the weight of achievement that doesn't satisfy, or simply seeking more authenticity in your life, Jo's story offers both validation and practical wisdom. Connect with her through her podcast "Balance and Beyond" or visit balanceinstitute.com to discover how you might redefine success on your own terms.

    Failure as Fuel: Rachel Pederson's Journey

    Send us a text Rachel Pederson's journey from welfare recipient to working with industry titans like Russell Brunson isn't your typical success story. What makes her path remarkable isn't just how far she's come, but her willingness to shine a light on her failures—both past and present. As a naturally introverted pastor's daughter raised in poverty, Rachel learned early that "survivors never quit." This mindset carried her through alcoholism, debt, and single motherhood at 21, leading to beauty school and a career as a hairstylist. But everything changed when a salon client asked about her marketing approach and unexpectedly offered her a consulting position. Within nine months of taking her business seriously, Rachel had replaced both her income and her husband's. In our conversation, Rachel courageously opens up about a recent business failure—her "90 Day Business Magic" program that collapsed under the weight of medical issues, grief, and family crises. Rather than glossing over this setback, she unpacks the valuable lessons learned: the importance of stepping back when things aren't working, creating distance for objective analysis, and sometimes having the courage to abandon ship completely. The most transformative element of Rachel's journey has been her practice of gratitude. Following a public breakdown that damaged her reputation, she rebuilt with gratitude as her foundation—starting each day appreciating her cozy bed and celebrating small wins with enthusiastic "yas!" exclamations. This seemingly simple practice has revolutionized both her business approach and life experience. What's particularly refreshing about Rachel's philosophy is her commitment to accessibility. Drawing from her experience finding designer shoes for 99 cents during her struggling days, she understands that free and affordable offerings create lasting loyalty. This belief guides her business model, where she prioritizes giving away high-quality content rather than hoarding knowledge behind paywalls. Whether you're facing burnout, questioning your business direction, or simply seeking authentic connection in your entrepreneurial journey, Rachel's insights remind us that there's always hope after failure—and sometime Support the show Unlock the secrets to online business success with these FREE and low-cost resources from Nicole! -Join our supportive FB Group to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and get exclusive tips and advice: https://nicoletuxbury.com/facebook -Get your copy of the Best of the Profit Machine Summit Book shipped to you to learn from 15+ experts on how to turn your online business into a Profit Machine for only $13! https://nicoletuxbury.com/profit-machine-summit-e-book/ - Get instant access to the Coaches Guide To Print on Demand Video Course + Spreadsheet for only $17: https://nicoletuxbury.com/product/coaches-guide-to-pod-with-resource-file/ Explore these amazing resources and start your journey to success today!
