  1. PERMISSION TO GLOW with KC Carter

    PERMISSION TO GLOW with KC Carter

    I first met Kristoffer "KC" Carter at Camp GLP, a weekend long adult camp, founded by the fantastic Jonathan Fields.  It was an incredible weekend of yoga and fitness, creative and career workshops, insightful speakers, and also... just a shit ton of fun!  And keeping the container for all of this to occur was this incredibly energetic and engaging guy, and I couldn't stop thinking "I not only want whatever that guy's got, but also DO what he DOES!"   Well it turns out, what KC has "got", and what he "does", are a lot of things.  A yogi and meditation teacher, musician, mentor, and family man,  he manages to bridge the worlds of spirituality and business in fun and inventive ways.  As a corporate coach, his company  This Epic Life  offers executives the tools to live as fully and exceptionally as possible, and his new book, "Permission to Glow: A spiritual guide to epic leadership",  invites us all to courageously do the same.  KC is someone I admire in his ability to bring all parts of himself, to everything he does. And he does it all while embracing his light (and his dark), in a continuous quest, maybe the noblest and highest quest for us all:  A life of integrity, integration, and inspiration.   I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.  Inward and Upward, Christian Correa @connectingwithchristian

    THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT with Stephanie Koch

    With extensive experience in the corporate world, non profits, and community development, Stephanie Koch took on the CEO role at The Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City positioned to make powerful, lasting change.   From partnerships with Apple, a state of the art STEAM program, and helping develop and lead what she calls the "dream team" of educators, counselors, and staff,  she's offering Atlantic City's youth the tools training, and inspiration to create bold, bright futures.  In this episode we chat about many things, including: The importance of scheduling, old cell phones, the challenges our youth face today (and what we can do to help),  the MANY roles a CEO has to play, and how a normal service call lead to a powerful partnership.  Hope you enjoy!

  3. THE QUEEN OF COMMUNITY with Nefertiti Hathaway

    THE QUEEN OF COMMUNITY with Nefertiti Hathaway

    Nefertiti Hathaway  is as confident as she is charismatic.  And she uses those attributes to lead, engage, and inspire her community to look beyond themselves, and towards others, to create not only true community, but true change.  Her Organization, Ubuntu The Community , creates and executes events that bring people together in a myriad of ways.  From a Juneteenth cookout, to community kickball tournaments, various youth excursions and immersions, etc.,  her goal is to foster a spirit of connection and collaboration for all involved, leading us together toward a more empowered, positive world.    I hope you enjoy, and feel free to reach out with any ideas/ guests you'd like to hear on the show.    Inward and upward,  Christian Correa @connectingwithchristian

  4. THE ART OF BUSINESS with Beau Ridge

    THE ART OF BUSINESS with Beau Ridge

    Whether it's his highly successful Photography Business, the mentoring program "The Art Of Six Figures", that he cofounded,  or his lifelong love of martial arts, Beau Ridge does everything with a commitment, courage, and candor that is truly inspiring.   Things like "discipline" and "Integrity" aren't just buzzwords for him, they're actually the foundation on which his success lies.  He believes there's no "magic formula" to doing well, but merely a few tried and true principles and practices that can be used across our lives, our communities, and companies, to a build stronger, more successful society.

  5. THE CONNECTION ECONOMY with Jon Henderson

    THE CONNECTION ECONOMY with Jon Henderson

    Jon Henderson is no stranger to our motto,  "A Call To Connect".  He's been loudly, unapologetically making that call for over two decades, bringing thousands of people together at a time, from all walks of life, for events that range from craft beer and music festivals, tattoo conventions, a summer seafood fest, and even a halloween themed, lakeside fright fest! And he does it all with a small, family owned and operated production company, Good Time Tricycle , and a fiercely loyal group of partners, staff, volunteers, and fans.    His insistence on integrity, ingenuity, and harnessing the power of community were a perfect fit for "The Mighty Middle", so I was excited to dive in with him, and share his well earned insights with all of you. Hope you enjoy! Inward and Upward,  Christian Correa @connectingwithchristian

    COOL, CALM AND CONNECTED with Keith Thurston

    Keith Thurston drips with a quiet charisma that makes you want to know more.  And once you do, you'll find out that to him, relationships are everything, honesty is a non negotiable, and gratitude is the key a life well lived.  This mindset allows him to move in many circles, build broad coalitions, and makes him the perfect fit for his role in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Delta Airlines, a company on the frontlines of creating real, sustainable equality in the corporate world.  Connect with us:  @themightymiddlepodcast (https://linktr.ee/TheMightyMiddle ) @connectingwithchristian @keithft Inward and upward,  Christian Correa

  7. REDEMPTION SONG with Brittney Kozek

    07/26/2021

    REDEMPTION SONG with Brittney Kozek

    At 17, Brittney Kozek got to live out what many would consider a dream.  Discovered by a successful music producer, she was plucked form a small NJ town, and whisked off to Los Angeles, California, for what she hoped would be her shot at the big time.  But it never happened.  This episode is Brittney's sharing of that story, one she's kept secret for most of her adult life.  Listen along to the meteoric rise, the equally fast fall, and how she's picked up the pieces, built something better, and returned for a second chance.

  8. NEVER TOO LATE with Matt Smith

    NEVER TOO LATE with Matt Smith

    Matt Smith is a long time friend. And in that time, I've been constantly amazed at the way he carries himself with such courage, candor, and confidence.   So it was great (and comforting!) to hear that these attributes are not just some god given gift, but simply the result of intentional thoughts and actions, ones he freely shares with us this week!  As always, connect with me @connectingwithchristian, our guest @whizkey_richard, and all the other episode of @themightymiddlepodcast.
