    When It Worked Podcast Jeopardy - Jennifer Johnson, Dr. Shanea Clancy

    About Jennifer JohnsonHi, I’m Jennifer Johnson, and I am a wife, mother of two, and a Registered Nurse in Ontario, Canada. I have spent the last sixteen years of my career in the emergency room of big and small hospitals all over Northern and Southern Ontario. I have personally been a part of all the heartbreak, drama, bullying, life to death moments, and then also trying to cope in the ER during an ongoing pandemic. My debut book- Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity and Survive Your Career is finally here and it's my rally cry to all the other nurses struggling through this pandemic and finding that they are losing their love of nursing. They (as well as I) are burnt out and depressed and feeling hopeless. The love, caring, and camaraderie of nursing have changed for all of us, and the expectation that we continue to show up to a job that puts our lives on the line is new to us, and we are not doing well. I wanted to put this book out there to let nurses know they are not alone. Bringing back the love of nursing is possible. Now more than ever, we need to support and help raise each other.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-johnson-bscn-rnhttps://www.rxforgrowth.com/---------------------------------------------------------About Dr. Shanea ClancyFrom witnessing insurmountable trauma to rewiring my brain through intentional transformation and approaches to life, my journey defies the traditional path of a surthriver.A forensic nurse turned mindset strategist who thrives on empowering audiences to shift from survival mode to their peak performance potential.Why? Because I know what it's like to be in the trenches of life, feeling lost, overwhelmed, unworthy, and completely alone. Even while surrounded by those who mean the most.I've sat with stories most people run from. All while my passion, purpose, and identity unwillingly stripped from me. After years of slowly rebuilding a future from scratch, once afforded a second-chance, my passion & hearts mission is to teach leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers how to lead with emotional intelligence, dismantle limiting beliefs, and build resilient & confident teams by getting in the trenches alongside them. Why? Because, I also know what the power of belief, hope, mentorship, and unconditional love does to ones soul. I'm living proof that our pasts and mishaps do not dictate our future.Whether we're talking trauma-informed care, mental health, mindset mastery, or moral injury, I'm not just sharing theory and expert insights. I'm also sharing my heart & soul with the tools and critical keys of transformation that changed the entire trajectory of life as I once knew it.https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanea-clancyhttp://www.shaneaclancy.com/-------------------------------------------------When It Worked Podcast

    When It Worked Podcast JEOPARDY - Marnie Wills, Miriam Schulman, Ursula Mentjes

    About Marnie WillsFor years, I was the entrepreneur who outsourced anything remotely technical. As the founder of SportyMinis (an early years physical education business) and an health and fitness business called SportsFit, I built successful companies despite—not because of—technology. I was convinced that tech just wasn't my thing, and frankly, I was okay with that.Then February 2023 happened. On a recommendation, I reluctantly tried Jasper AI for some ad copy. What I expected was rubbish copy, super generic and cost an arm and a leg. Instead, it was completely different—cheap as chips and I actually loved going back and forth chatting with Jasper about what I wanted. It really was a moment of clarity. For the first time, I didn't need to be technical to leverage powerful technology. I was thriving with confidence and felt so productive.https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnie-wills-entrepreneur/https://businesswithaistrategist.com/---------------------------------About Miriam SchulmanMiriam Schulman | Artpreneur Coach | Creative Flow Catalyst | Spiritual TechnologistMiriam Schulman is a creative entrepreneur, best-selling author, and soulful business mentor whose work lives at the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, and authentic expression. She helps artists and creators escape the “starving artist” trap by combining practical marketing strategy with spiritual alignment—and now, intelligent automation.She’s the author of "Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity" (HarperCollins Leadership - now in it's third printing with over 417 reviews), and host of "The Inspiration Place Podcast", ranked in the top 0.5% of all shows globally. Through her coaching programs and online training, Schulman has helped thousands of creatives build profitable businesses without sacrificing their joy, identity, or artistic integrity.https://www.linkedin.com/in/schulmanart/https://schulmanart.com/----------------------------------About Ursula MentjesUrsula Mentjes is a sales and mindset expert who knows firsthand what it takes to break through revenue plateaus. Early in her career, she struggled to hit her first six figures, battling the same limiting beliefs that hold many entrepreneurs back—believing she had to work harder to deserve success, that big money was only for "other people," and that she simply wasn’t wired for exponential growth. But when she discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and began shifting her beliefs, everything changed. She went from struggling to scaling, eventually creating $100,000 months and teaching others to do the same.Today, as the founder of Ursula Inc., a five-time bestselling author, and a sought-after speaker, she has helped thousands of business owners double or triple their revenue while working less. She combines her expertise in sales strategy and mindset transformation to help entrepreneurs collapse time, increase sales, and create financial freedom.https://www.linkedin.com/in/ursulaincorporatedhttps://www.ursulainc.co/------------------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

    When It Worked Podcast JEOPARDY - Deborah Coviello, Ruth Van Vierzen, Josh Fuhr

    About Deborah CovielloI see you. I see you staring out the window wondering how you are going to meet this challenge. Take a deep breath, and consider the big picture. CLARITY AMIDST CHAOS HELPS US AVOID CRISIS. “Chasing Results.” Sounds stressful, right? It is! The State of Chaos within your organization often has a lot to do with misalignment of priorities: are you pursuing short term results or long term peace of mind? Kind words from a client: “Deb is the quintessential CEO Whisperer. More than a f/COO, Deb has been a rock which I can lean on and confide in.” LIFT, LIGHT, LEAD I wrote “The CEO’s Compass: Your Guide to Get Back on Track” to lift up CEO's by exploring their Hero’s Journey through the unknown, guiding them to their own Peace of Mind. The journey continues with my follow-up, “The NEW CEO Playbook: Stop Chasing Results and Start Pursuing Peace of Mind,” which addresses the mindset, behaviors and changes needed for any leader seeking satisfaction in their journey. This volume is both for the C-Suiter ensuring their legacy by establishing a “Lift, Light, Lead” environment- and for the rising leader pursuing their seat at the table.https://linkedin.com/in/deborahacoviello/https://dropinceo.com/----------------------------------About Ruth Van VierzenWhether your guests are start-ups or experienced business owners, I can deliver valuable content during an interview. In my Fractional Sales Consulting work, I primarily work with C-Suite executives in B2B industrial companies. However, my 30 years in sales has covered many types of B2B and B2C sales. In addition to sales, I have worked in business development, small business start-up consulting and operations management. Given the broad range of business and sales topics I can speak on, you are welcome to propose topics of interest, or we can have a pre-interview discussion so you can gauge my ability to speak on particular topics. I have something I call RAP 3X™ Satisfaction. This forms the basis of what I commit to providing for you as a host, and your audience. (You can see the visual at this link: https://revsquared.com/business-speaking). https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthvanvierzen/https://revsquared.com/----------------------------------About Josh FuhrImagine a life where you’ve conquered the entrepreneurial grind, faced a global shutdown, and emerged with a new mission—only to chase it from an RV parked near a herd of bison in Yellowstone. That’s Josh Fuhr’s story, a rollercoaster of ambition, reinvention, and a passion for empowering others through stock trading. Today, as the voice behind the Portfolio Consultant Substack newsletter, he’s turning his hard-won expertise into a lifeline for investors craving financial success without the Wall Street hustle.Josh's journey kicked off with a bang—he graduated with high honors from university, racking up academic awards that showcased his drive and intellect. But he didn’t stop at the diploma. In his final year, he founded a healthcare supply chain consulting business, growing it to 47 employees and $7 million in revenue. The accolades piled up—features in business publications, plus awards from the United Nations and the White House—until COVID hit, forcing the company to close. That could’ve been the end, but for Josh, it was a second chance.https://portfolioconsultant.substack.com/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

    When It Worked Podcast JEOPARDY - Paul Flowers Jr, Dustin Hoog

    About Paul H. Flowers Jr.The Story of Paul H. Flowers Jr. — A Leader Built by Life, Ready to Ignite Your AudienceBefore Paul H. Flowers Jr. ever built companies, led national sales teams, or launched transformational initiatives across the insurance and financial worlds — he built people.Raised with the values of leadership, resilience, and faith, Paul didn’t just learn how to succeed in business; he learned how to succeed in life. Early in his career, he found himself managing teams, solving complex problems, and mentoring others who would go on to create legacies of their own. Paul became the leader people turned to when the stakes were high — not because he sought the spotlight, but because he earned their trust.Over the years, Paul’s entrepreneurial spirit ignited. He founded Superior Insurance Advisors and the nonprofit Life Health and Legal Education Partners to bridge the dangerous gaps he saw between everyday families and critical knowledge about healthcare, financial literacy, and legal rights. His mission is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: education and empowerment can change lives — and generations.https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulhflowersjr/http://www.paul.health/----------------------------------About Dustin HoogFrom Burned-Out Agent to Wealth Builder — Why I’m on a Mission to Help REALTORS Create FreedomFor years, I played the game most REALTORS know all too well — chasing commission checks, grinding out every deal, and telling myself I was “building something.” But behind the scenes, I was trapped. Trapped in a business that only paid me when I was hustling nonstop. And worse, I didn’t own anything that created real wealth or freedom.Then I flipped my first house. That one deal changed everything. I realized that I could build wealth through real estate investing — not just sales. From there, I went all in. I started flipping homes, buying rentals, and creating income streams that worked even when I didn’t. And guess what? I didn’t have to stop being a REALTOR to do it.http://www.dustinhoog.com/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast
