    Harnessing Influence: How to Focus Your Energy for Real Change

    Are you using your energy wisely?  In this episode, we're reflecting on the impact of current events, like the recent American presidential election, and how they resonate beyond borders. It's fascinating how these events stir up a whirlwind of speculation, but let's face it, most of us don't have the power to influence the decisions made in the White House. So, why do we pour our energy into these topics? Let's chat about that! Drawing inspiration from Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," we delve into the concept of the circle of influence versus the circle of concern. Discover how focusing on what you can control can expand your influence and lead to meaningful change. Whether through local activism or gathering like-minded individuals to advocate for a cause, there are ways to make a real impact. We'll share a personal story about a community coming together to improve their neighbourhood's traffic situation—proof that collective action can lead to positive outcomes. If you're passionate about making changes, it's all about starting where you can truly make a difference and growing your circle of influence from there. As always, I'm grateful for your time and attention. If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to share it with a friend! For more episodes and resources, visit life passion and business.com. There, you'll find over 500 conversations and shortcasts filled with tools to help you progress in life. Plus, learn about focus coaching, a one-on-one process to guide you toward your goals. Thanks for tuning in! Wishing you an amazing week ahead. Until next time, all the best!

    From Radio Dreams to Reality: Steve Gamlin’s Journey of Reinvention

    Today, we're diving into a rerun from 2023 with the incredible Steve Gamlin. Steve's story is one of transformation, self-discovery, and a whole lot of laughs. Imagine having a successful 10-year radio career, only to find yourself struggling with self-image and confidence. That's where Steve found himself, and oh boy, did he turn things around! Steve reinvented his life by managing his mindset, crafting his journey, and optimizing his daily routines to build the life he truly wanted. He's an amazing storyteller, and his journey is nothing short of inspiring. But before we dive into Steve's world, this is just a quick reminder to check out the awesome resources at Life Passion and Business. We've got over 500 interviews, short casts, and focus coaching to help you find your path. Now, back to Steve. Growing up in the Northwest US with a beautiful childhood, Steve dreamed of being a radio DJ, a comedian, and a teacher. He hit the radio waves but found it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Despite achieving his childhood dreams, the journey was rocky, with a lot of life crashes and reinventions along the way. Steve's story is filled with moments of humour, like the time he challenged a thunderstorm on a golf course, leading to a life-changing conversation with a life coach. That conversation sparked his journey into motivational speaking and comedy. Today, Steve hosts the Motivational Firewood podcast, helping people create positivity through visualization and humour. His message? Success isn't about flashy cars or big houses; it's about being the best version of yourself and spreading positivity wherever you go whether it's through teaching others to visualize their goals or simply leaving a situation better than he found it, Steve's all about making a meaningful impact.     Further details about this podcast, along with my Guest’s website and social links are all available at: https://lifepassionandbusiness.com/steve-gamlin-teacher-of-people/   Life Passion & Business is dedicated to exploring what it takes to be Extraordinary, to face challenges and rejoice in the opportunities they bring, and to expand our vision into new ways of thinking and living.

    Crafting Your Own Journey: Beyond the Hero's Path

    Today, we will explore the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our lives.

They’re the essence of what we feel and do, so let's explore what makes a life truly fulfilling. The Question: Are you the hero in your own story?

It's not always about being the Jedi Knight saving the universe; sometimes, it’s about discovering what truly brings us joy and fulfilment.

    Discovering Authentic Pride: The Key to Self-Satisfaction and Success

    Today we're diving into something we all need a little more of in our lives—authentic pride. You know, that warm feeling when you achieve something meaningful, not just for the accolades, but for the personal satisfaction it brings. It's all about exploring what makes us tick and feel alive! In this episode, I reflect on a recent experience marshalling at a local 10k race. Watching those runners push through their challenges, whether sprinting to the finish or walking with determination, got me thinking about why we put ourselves out there. What magic ingredient makes us feel good about ourselves, even when things get tough? It's that sense of pride—feeling proud of our efforts and achievements, big or small. I've been reading a fascinating book by Dr. Jessica Tracy called "Pride: The Secrets of Success." It's an eye-opener on the different types of pride and how authentic pride can propel us to be our best selves. The book shares stories like that of Dean Karnazes, who rediscovered his passion for running at 30, transforming his life. It's about finding that 'thing' that makes you feel fulfilled and proud of who you are. So, what in your life gives you that feeling of accomplishment? Whether running, solving puzzles, or simply sticking to a daily ritual, what matters is how it makes you feel. It's not about boasting or comparing; it's about personal satisfaction. And if you're unsure what that is for you, maybe it's time to explore and find out.   Remember if you found this shortcast helpful, please share it with a friend.          Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life’s big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers.

    If Not Now, Then When? Is it time to choose

    This show explores a thought-provoking topic: "If not now, then when?" We all ponder this question at different points in our lives. We have dreams and ideas that seem exciting and fulfilling, but for some reason, they always seem just out of reach. Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to start something new? Maybe you're in a situation where things aren't quite right, hoping for a sign to make a change. Well, what if I told you that sometimes the sign doesn't come, and you are the one who decides when the time is right? In this episode, we're exploring how to recognize when to take action and make those dreams a reality. Whether it's a big adventure or a small goal like getting fit, it's all about setting an agenda and planning to achieve it. We'll also discuss the importance of writing down your goals—because, let's face it, if it's just in your head, it tends to stay there. I'll share some personal insights and stories, including my own journey with fitness and how I plan to tackle my goals for the coming year. Plus, I'll challenge you to write down ten things you'd like to achieve in the next ten years. It might surprise you what ends up on that list! So, are you ready to stop waiting and start doing?
