Permission To Win David White

Thanks Seth Godin for your amazing podcast AKIMBO, where you shared "Are You A Genius?".
We're exploring the definition of a genius. Did Babe Ruth invent the Buggy Whip? Did Meryl Streep grow Jack Pine Trees? What do all these things have to do with you and your own level of genius. HINT: It's Effort, plus Prep, plus a little good timing.
Denise Millet joins us to discuss this neat topic. (By the way #SethGodin, Denise is a HUGE fan!)

YOU have a story. YOU may want to share your story.
Kerry is away for this episode, but we've brought Holly Totten to tell us how "easy" it is to write that first story.
We really would like to hear about your story sharing struggles and successes.
Please email us to share: info@yourpermissiontowin.com
Here's what ChatGPT has to say about sharing your story:
Have you ever thought about sharing your unique and compelling story with the world? Perhaps you've experienced something extraordinary, overcome immense challenges, or learned valuable lessons that could inspire others. Whatever your story may be, I'm here to encourage you to share it with the world through writing a book.
Writing a book may seem like a daunting task, but it's a journey that can be incredibly rewarding. Not only will you have the opportunity to share your story with others, but you'll also gain a new perspective on your own experiences. Writing a book requires introspection, reflection, and vulnerability, but it can also be cathartic and healing.
Don't worry if you don't consider yourself a "writer." Writing a book is a skill that can be learned, and with the help of an experienced editor, you can craft your story into a compelling narrative that captivates readers. An editor can help you clarify your message, develop your characters, and structure your story in a way that engages readers from beginning to end.
Sharing your story through a book can also have a profound impact on others. Your experiences and insights may help someone who is going through a similar struggle or inspire someone who is looking for direction in their own life. By sharing your story, you have the power to make a difference in someone's life.
Writing a book can also open doors for you professionally. It can establish you as an expert in your field, lead to speaking engagements, and even provide additional income streams. Plus, it's a fantastic personal accomplishment that you can be proud of for the rest of your life.
If you're still unsure about whether writing a book is for you, I encourage you to give it a try. Take the first step by putting your story down on paper and see where it takes you. Remember, the world needs your unique perspective, and you never know who your story may touch.
So what are you waiting for? Start writing your book today and let your voice be heard. With the help of an editor, your story can be transformed into a powerful narrative that will leave a lasting impact on readers. I can't wait to see what you create.

DISCLAIMER: Nobody on Permission To Win is a Medical Professional. Don't listen to us... we're just recording a conversation. "You Do You, Boo!"
This episode's guest, Lela Davis, joins to discuss how to listen to your own body and how taking responsibility for your own health and wellbeing can bring quality results.
Oh... and stick around to find out who is making their own Yogurt!

What does Chat GPT have to say about Being Responsible for your health:
Taking responsibility for your own healthcare is crucial for maintaining good health and preventing illness. When you take ownership of your health, you become more aware of your body's needs and can take steps to prevent illness and manage chronic conditions.
A general practitioner (GP) is a medical doctor who provides primary care to patients. They diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses and conditions, and they can refer patients to specialists when needed. GPs rely on evidence-based medicine and prescribe medications or other treatments that have been proven to be effective through clinical trials.
On the other hand, natural or homeopathic remedies use natural substances such as plants, minerals, and vitamins to promote healing. While some natural remedies have been found to be effective for certain conditions, many have not been scientifically proven to work, and some may even be harmful.
While it is important to consult a GP for serious or chronic health conditions, taking responsibility for your own healthcare can also involve incorporating natural remedies into your overall health plan. For example, adding exercise, a healthy diet, and stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga can all help support your overall health.
By taking responsibility for your own healthcare, you become an active participant in your own health and can make informed decisions about the treatments and remedies that are best for you. You can also develop a more holistic approach to health that includes both traditional medical treatments and natural remedies, allowing you to take a more proactive role in maintaining your own health and wellbeing.

We're on a road trip... or a Hike in the woods. Well, we're not sure, but either way, we ended up having to change direction.
This isn't an episode about Life giving you Lemons, but it is a discussion with our guest, Melissa Bottorff-Arey, about making conscious decisions about which path to take when life forces you to change direction.
We have a little poetry, a little laughter, and it even gets a little deep at times. We're glad you're going on this ride with us!

"I knew what I was talking about!"
That's not really an excuse. You have to read the room, be aware of others and if they're "pickin' up what you're puttin' down".
Maybe this should have been an episode about catchy phrases instead.
Join David, Kim, and of course Kerry as they share experiences with Colo... Colloqu...
well, here, read it from the Austin Peay University handbook excerpt:
A colloquialism, sometimes referred to collectively as "colloquial language,” is a phrase that is common in everyday, unconstrained conversation, rather than in formal speech or academic writing. Dictionaries often display colloquial words and phrases with the abbreviation colloq. as an identifier. Some examples of informal colloquialisms can include words (such as “y'all” or “gonna” or “wanna”), phrases (such as “old as the hills” and “graveyard dead”), or sometimes even an entire aphorism (“There's more than one way to skin a cat” and “He needs to step up to the plate.”). You must write for clarity even while writing narrative essays so that all readers will know what you mean. Therefore, do not use slang or colloquialisms.

Who do you want to be? Are others dissatisfied with who you are? What is the difference between "feedback" and "criticism"? Have you ever cleaned the house before the cleaners arrive? And, have you ever participated in "RAGE Vacuuming"?
This is your permission to answer any of these questions, or to just listen along as we welcome our latest guest, Linda Bonny, all the way from Tasmania, in Australia.
