Welcome to Influenced, the show where three friends and I talk personal development, content creation and building your personal brand. Long ago, “influence” originally referred to a celestial fluid believed to flow from the stars. As this fluid reached earth, it affected the actions of the planet’s inhabitants. We chose “Influenced” because by sharing ideas in these conversations, we influence each other and hopefully, you too. In this episode I, Tom Kuegler, introduce you to the brilliant co-hosts of Influenced.. The first, Liz Huber, is a High-Performance & Productivity Coach for Entrepreneurs who want to have more time for what matters most in their business (and in their life.) With her coaching programs, books, online courses, and live workshops, she helps her clients streamline every area of their life and prioritize the right things.

On October 8th 2013, he experienced his first day clean after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction. Instead of perceiving his addiction as a failure, he embraced a second chance at life and went to university to study the complexities of human behaviour. He’s won several academic awards, including a fully-funded PHD Scholarship at Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience. He’s also working on a few books at the moment, and he’s speaking regularly now at various conferences, seminars, and events around the world.

Michael helps clients win opportunities through building the right relationships. His work regarding career advice, leadership and communication has appeared in places like Fast Co, Forbes, INC, Crunchbase, The Blog of Steven Pressfield and many more. His recent article, How to Wake Up Smiling: The 9 Decisions That Led To A Life I Love, went mega viral on Medium attracting well over 50,000 views over the span of a few days if I’m not mistaken. It was the most popular article on all of Medium at one point, which is no small feat in the least. Michael's Website: https://mikethompsonblog.com/ SEND US A VOICE MESSAGE!
