    #22 GameChanging Guests - Kevin Palmieri (US) - Changing the Game of self-development

    "I had it all and yet I was extremely unhappy"    In this episode I'm talking to GameChanger Kevin Palmieri, CFO, founder and co-host of Next Level Podcast Solutions.    Kevin talks about something a lot of us entrepreneurs recognise: functionally everything was fine, but he was also aware of the fact that he knew he wanted to live differently.    "I was more fulfilled when I was broke" As many personal entrepreneurial stories, Kevin's story involves a tremendous pain as well. Growing up without a father, his live was marked already from a young age.  Although he had many successes personally and professionally, one day, he found himself having suicidal thoughts. Eventually he turned those around in a powerful Next Level University and set up a foundation that helps children without fathers.    Today he helps many people to create a better and happier life, to become a better person and partner and all with three key elements: consistency, confidence and overcoming limiting beliefs.    Listen or watch this inspiring episode and don't hesitate to reach out to either one of us when you seek support.    PODCAST VIDEO: www.myrtescheffer.com/gamechangers-united-podcast/kevin-palmieri WEBSITE KEVIN: www.nextleveluniverse.com   ABOUT THIS PODCAST   Being a GameChanger is amazing.

    #21 GameChanging Guests: John Follis - Digital Marketing GameChanger on Madison Avenue (NYC) in 70's/80's

    In this episode I’m interviewing another amazing GameChanger: John Follis. It's so great to talk to a fellow Marketeer about the craft (because that's what's Marketing is!), his experiences in NYC and his current contribution to the world. Anyone who’s worked on Mad Ave a week has a story. John spent 3 decades there — first, getting fired. Then, getting famous. Selected one of Mad Ave’s “12 Best” by The NY Ad Club John has been an ADWEEK columnist and featured speaker at venues including The World Business Academy and Yale. His agency, Follis DeVito Verdi, was one of New York’s most awarded. John also has the unique honor of being acknowledged at both The White House and The UN for his effective public service work. He’s also been fired 4 times and been told he has no talent. John: "I began on Madison Ave with the top agencies in the US on accounts like VW, Pizza Hut and Coke. That led to the co-founding of my own agency, Follis&Verdi, which became one of the most awarded creative agencies in the country. As the media and marketing landscape changed, so did my business. In '04, I created one of the first online consultancies, "Follis Marketing Therapy", which enabled business owners across the US to work with me directly on their marketing and creative issues. In '06, I hosted and produced the first marketing podcast; "The Marketing Show with John Follis" which continued for 7 years. In 2013, to meet the demand for the exploding digital video market, we added "Big Idea Video" which offers businesses a variety of high-impact web video content including animated "explainer videos". Currently, that work is featured on Vimeo, LinkedIn, and 4 YouTube Channels." Additional career highlights include: • Being selected one of "New York's 12 Best" by The New York Ad Club. • Being honored at The White House for a national public service campaign that I spearheaded. • Receiving the first ever United Nations Public Service Award at The UN. • Being invited to speak at venues including The World Business Academy and Yale University. • Winning over 3 dozen major ad awards including Clio Awards. • Having my successful ad work featured in a Prentice-Hall marketing textbook. • Having my successful ad work taught as a case study in The Harvard Business Review. • Being invited to write for ADWEEK and Small Biz Trends. • Being published in a pop-culture anthology with internationally known writers including Stephen King. • Writing, directing and producing a film that won a Hollywood International Documentary Film award. . . . Listen to his inspiring story and valuable tips and tricks to challenge yourself to look at Marketing differently. Every single day we have a choice on how we show up in our lives and our business. How do you make the right choices and how can you create a sustainable approach and strategies for yourself?

    #20 Waarom het (er)kennen van je identiteit zo cruciaal is om succesvol te ondernemen - Interview door Tineke Zwart

    In deze aflevering word ik geïnterviewd door Tineke Zwart over Identiteit als basis voor een succesvol leven en bedrijf.   Tineke was het afgelopen jaar niet alleen mijn Business coach, maar ik heb ook voor haar een hele transformerende IdentiteitsReis voor High-End Ondernemers ontworpen waardoor ze haar hele bedrijf heeft omgegooid. Hoe?    Je hoort het in de podcast!   "In deze podcast spreek ik één van mijn 1-op-1 klanten Myrte Scheffer.    Myrte heeft, na een opeenstapeling van verdrietige verliezen, op een bepaald moment in 2020 besloten om haar leven en bedrijf volledig om te gooien. Maar hoe wist ze nog niet. Het werd uiteindelijk een reis naar London waar ze getraind werd als Public Speaker, vervolgens een “rouwreis” door heel Spanje, ze reed haar motor naar Barcelona, ze werkte voor een organisatie die gratis onderwijs verzorgd voor kinderen in een lokale community in Tanzania, ze deed haar eerste sprekersklus op international vrouwendag in Parijs dit jaar en ze reisde afgelopen zomer 2 maanden naar Bali waar ze in samenwerking met een hoge priester een spirituele reis heeft gemaakt.  Dit noemt ze haar Identiteitsreis en die heeft ervoor gezorgd dat ze nu echt leeft en onderneemt vanuit haar diepste kern met haar bedrijf GameChangers United.  Onlangs heb ik zelf ook een 4 uur durende identiteitsreis bij Myrte geboekt en sindsdien stroomt het veel meer in mijn bedrijf. In deze podcast spreken we elkaar over onze reis en waarom het stuk identiteit zo cruciaal is." We delen ook een nieuwtje: op 23 januari vindt de eerste editie van "Glitter. Glamour. GameChangers" plaats. Een uniek online MasterMind dag waarin ik je samen met Tineke en nog een andere top notch spreekster (Chloë Bisson) meeneem in hoe jij identiteit kunt inzetten en transformeren tot je grootste professionele kracht. >> Jij kunt nu één van de 50 spots bemachtigen: https://myrtescheffer.com/glitter-glamour-gamechangers/ Zien we je op 23 januari 2023?

    #18 (IN DUTCH) Speciaal interview met mijn opa (90) - een echte GameChanger net na de oorlog in de klompenfabriek, waar zijn innovaties voor revoluties zorgden!

    In deze bijzondere aflevering interview ik mijn opa van 90, een echte GameChanger die net na de Tweede Wereldoorlog voor veel innovaties heeft gezorgd bij, wat uitgroeide tot, de grootste klompenfabriek van Nederland, het huidige Gevavi.    Zet de NL ondertiteling aan voor extra ondersteuning mocht het dialect teveel worden ;)   Met zijn ideeën heeft hij veel nieuwe dingen bedacht zoals de stempel voor de figuren op de klompen zoals we ze nu kennen, het ontwikkelen van een methode om beschadigde klompen toch te kunnen verkopen en het samenvoegen van twee afval materialen waardoor een nieuwe lijm ontstond (circulair!).   Zo op het oog lijken deze zaken nu heel vanzelfsprekend, maar in die tijd, midden jaren 50, zorgden deze innovaties voor een revolutie in de Nederlandse klompenindustrie en tot op de dag van vandaag worden ze gebruikt in de processen en productie. Door zijn werk en ideeën, werden niet alleen processen versneld, maar er werden ook volledige werkzaamheden geautomatiseerd. Hierdoor werd enorm bezuinigd op materiaal- en personele kosten, werd de verkoop en productie verhoogd en hierdoor dus significant meer omzet gedraaid in een booming markt: heel Nederland liep op dat moment op klompen.    Zijn verhaal wilde ik altijd al een keer vastleggen. Het is zo inspirerend om te horen hoe hij dat vroeger heeft gedaan en ervaren en ook pijnlijk omdat hij nooit echt de erkenning heeft gekregen voor zijn werk. Dat ligt ook deels aan hemzelf en hier heeft hij tot op de dag van vandaag nog wel eens moeite mee: was hij maar meer voor zichzelf opgekomen. Had hij maar het lef gehad om écht voor zichzelf te beginnen. Maar dat kon niet in die jaren en vooral niet met 4 jonge kinderen.    We spreken kort over zijn leven in de oorlog (en hier gaan we nog een keer een aparte aflevering voor opnemen), zijn gezin van herkomst en natuurlijk over zijn werk in de klompenfabriek. Hij heeft nooit de kans gekregen op onderwijs, want zijn 4 volledig dove broers/zusjes moesten een vak leren en hierdoor was er voor de andere 10(!) kinderen geen geld voor scholing.    Toch heeft een echte GameChanger zijn talent niet op school geleerd, het zit in je.   En het gaat er ook nooit meer uit. "Als ik nu in de schuur kom, heb ik nog zoveel ideeën en dan denk ik: zal ik toch nog een keer voor mezelf beginnen..."    Deze man.    Voor mij de grondlegger van GameChangers United.   Je kunt de video ook bekijken op YouTube: https://youtu.be/gF2QJ0FsUjs www.myrtescheffer.com/gamechangers-united-podcast/gerard-scheffer

    #17 GameChanging Guests: Loïs Hollis - Changing the Game of Shame Guilt after her Near Dead Experience at 55, all due to an extremely abusive childhood

    In this episode I'm interviewing the amazing Loïs Hollis (78!) who is determined to teach us about the Shame Guilt energy and how to get rid of it. Every person fills in a selection form upfront to identify if we are the right fit to do this interview. Her first sentence was so powerful:  "I was dying at 55 and now rollerblading with my grandson at 78."    Her life story begins 78 years ago in the States where she experienced a childhood of excessive abuse. At the age of 55 she almost died due to the wide range of consequences because of this abuse. "My childhood was extremely abusive. I endured head traumas, broken ribs, skull, jaws, and neck that resulted in a Near Death Experience. My life was continued but I had the residue of emotional and physical abuse, 30 years of migraine headache, scoliosis, leaky heart valve, dyslexia and irlen syndrome to name a few."    She survived the NDE at 55, married the one doctor who managed to give her back her life (who wouldn't!) and today she is on a mission to change the game for many people who are stuck in a prison of Shame and Guilt.   "My legacy is to be the one who exposed the destructive shame guilt influence deliberately placed upon humanity. Individuals can now be naturally empowered because no one is educated or controlled to be a victim."     Loïs explains what the Shame Guilt energy does, how it is present in even the smallest thoughts we have during the day, why it's also then very destructive for us and most importantly: how to get rid of it.   During this interview I'm sharing one of my biggest trauma's that I had suppressed for 23 years - without consciously knowing I did. But I always felt this Shame Guilt energy around, however, I didn't know it was this energy. We can carry this with us for so many years and it's suppressing a to of the power that we posses.   Today Loïs is helping people all over the world as a Shame Guilt Educator, counsellor and filmmaker. Listen or watch this GameChanging interview with this extraordinary woman and stay tuned for a follow up in the GameChangers United Community.   WEBSITE LOÏS: https://www.loishollis.com and https://imgoodfilm.com/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loishollis/ ABOUT THIS PODCAST Being a GameChanger is amazing.
