    2025/10/10

We were musical entrepreneurs" True opportunity arrives only when hard work meets truth. This episode explores how perseverance, humility, and self-awareness fuel long-term success. The principles shared here reveal that greatness isn’t built overnight—it’s crafted through patience, persistence, and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths about where you are and where you’re going.

  • EP718: Tiffani Brown – Heart Centered Law
    2025/10/07
    “I go after a lot of things as an entrepreneur. Probably 90% of the things may not happen on the timeline that I expect. But you better believe for that 10%, I’m gonna show up with the best attitude and energy that I have. Because I’m not gonna let the other 90% take away from my shine.” The legal system wasn’t built for the human heart—but Tiffani Brown is changing that. Through her vision of human-centered law, she’s redefining what justice, service, and integrity look like in a world where entrepreneurs crave both success and soul. Her message is simple yet profound: law should protect people’s dreams, not bury them in paperwork. Tiffani’s journey from big law to heart-driven entrepreneurship is a story of freedom and purpose. By paying off her $220,000 debt, walking away from corporate law, and creating My Legal Wellness, she turned her profession into a mission. She believes communities thrive when law is accessible, transparent, and grounded in compassion. Her philosophy blends strategy, spirituality, and courage—the same traits that led her to the Transformational Leadership Council and inspired her movement for ethical entrepreneurship. Tiffani is a globally traveled attorney and visionary founder of MyLegalWellness.com, where she helps business owners navigate the law with clarity and heart. Her work bridges the gap between legal practice and human purpose—proving that leadership rooted in empathy can change industries from the inside out. Expert action steps: 1. Go upstream – When something stops working, don’t force it. Seek a higher path or new opportunity instead of staying stuck downstream. 2. Maintain a spirit of expectation – Stay open to possibility and say yes to opportunities that align with your purpose. 3. Control your attitude – Your energy and presence are your greatest powers; guard them fiercely and use them intentionally.

    “Successful people are decisive people.”

    Every opportunity carries a hidden clock. Wait too long and the door closes—but act with speed and the world opens up in ways you can’t predict. The people who rise fastest aren’t the ones who wait for certainty, they’re the ones who move when others stall.

  • EP714: Eduardo Placer - Everything Is Storytelling
    2025/09/23
    “The opportunity to witness somebody else’s humanity through the noise, to see human being to human being in all the ways that we are similar and in all the ways that we are different.” Storytelling is more than performance—it’s the lifeblood of communication. The ability to translate complex ideas into human connection turns fear into freedom and nervousness into aliveness. Whether in business, politics, or personal growth, stories aren’t just about information; they’re about service, specificity, and sparking curiosity in others. Eduardo shares how his own journey—from childhood show-and-tell to 15 years on stage, to coaching leaders around the world—shaped his philosophy. He explains how to turn anxiety into energy, why your anchor story is your most powerful tool, and how the art of empathy makes public speaking transformative. He insists that preparation is as much physical and emotional as it is intellectual, ensuring audiences don’t just hear you but feel you. Eduardo Placer is the founder of Fearless Communicators, a global coaching company made up of stage-trained storytellers who teach thought leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs to speak with candor, presence, and power. His clients include UN diplomats, presidential candidates, and social-impact entrepreneurs, and his team is built entirely of professional actors. Eduardo’s mission is simple: empower people to speak the truth as themselves, without masks, and to make the biggest difference possible. Expert action steps: 1. Prioritize connection over perfection—skip memorizing; serve the audience instead of impressing. 2. Warm up before speaking—treat it like an athletic event, with breath and body preparation. 3. Develop an anchor story—know it in 30-second, 3-minute, and 5-minute versions for any situation.

  • EP712: Dave Buck - How My Mentor Invented The Coaching Industry
    2025/09/16
    “World power is infinitely better than willpower.” At the heart of every business breakthrough is the ability to turn hidden potential into repeatable skills. Freedom, friendship, and purpose aren’t things you stumble upon; they’re capabilities you can practice until they become second nature. When fundamentals like belonging, influence, and co-creation are mastered, advanced business skills—marketing, sales, partnerships, leadership—become natural extensions rather than uphill battles. Dave Buck shares how persistence turned him from eager student to the right-hand man of Thomas Leonard, the father of professional life coaching. He unpacks the origins of the industry, the lessons of human connection, and the coaching methods that evolved from trial, error, and challenge. His journey proves that sometimes you don’t just choose a dream—the dream chooses you. Buck is CEO of CoachVille and a pioneer who has spent 30 years shaping the profession of life coaching. As a mentee and daily collaborator of Thomas Leonard, he helped codify modern coaching methods and today leads programs like Get Your Power Back, designed to restore human connection as the foundation for business and leadership transformation. Expert action steps: Shift from being task-oriented to mastery-oriented: focus on skills, not just tasks. Treat fear as a teacher, not an enemy: decode what it’s trying to keep you safe from. Leverage world power over willpower: design environments where growth becomes natural.
