SummaryThe authority paradox is the more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Proving credibility often involves teaching as much as possible and listing certifications, but this can be distracting and overwhelming for the audience. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Instead of teaching all the details, focus on shifting belief patterns. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients. Using client stories and strategizing what to teach can inspire action and create credibility.

Today on the show we have Bill Matthews. Bill is a coach for men who are experiencing roadblocks in their lives. They think that it is too late for them to live in alignment with the way that they truly wanted and truly sought after when they were younger.
Together we are going to co-create a story that smashes this limiting belief and expresses the deep passion and power that Bill works with within the stories that we all tell ourselves about ourselves. This is a magical episode. 

In This Episode: It is not too late to move forward and begin to take your mental health, physical health, and spiritual health seriously. 
It is not all those things that make you happy. It is the connection with people.  Being needed, being wanted, being loved, and loving others is true happiness. 
We are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves. Ask yourself if the story you are telling yourself is true or not and how can we begin to recreate that story?  
And so much more!!!

Today on the show we have Mike Zeller. I am excited to share Mike with you for most of the episodes. Recently we have been crafting origin stories with my guests and today we are going to do something a little different but equally powerful. 
Today with Mike we are going to be developing a proprietary process that encapsulates many unique faucets of transformation that he brings to rewire your mind. He has a very powerful story that has inspired this journey and an equally powerful system to facilitate this. 

In This Episode: A proprietary process is one of the most powerful and desirable ways to make an expert with a really unique solution stand out and be one of a kind. 
We all act according to our identity. If you want to redevelop yourself into the highest level state you might have to reprogram and rewire your identity.
Your next level is right around the corner and it usually is going to involve your identity being rewired because your identity precedes your destiny. 
And so much more!!!

Today on the show we have Suzanne Taylor-King. On the episode today we are going to explore the word Eudaimonia, an ancient stoic term that has profound implications for your modern-day life. We are going to hear a story of a profound turning point led by some sleazy sales that led to an incredible decision in her life. 

In This Episode: Know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, your vulnerabilities, your content, and how you want to serve your clients really clearly. 
Help more people get what they want and you will get what you want. It is about their journey and getting them where they want to be.  
Changing someone’s way of thinking about something is so much more powerful than me teaching them how to do something. 
And so much more!!!

In This Episode: The core motivation behind somebody is what gets them fired up to do what they are going to do. 
Your choices change your future. You can see your destiny in the past.
