EP20 -Josh Carey - PodMax (podcasting Authority)

Josh Cary spent 40 years in hiding! That’s right. He was hiding every aspect of himself and showing up with a ‘mask’ on in all areas of life trying to gain the approval of everyone else. At 19, he changed his name and entered into, what would become, a 15-year career as a professional actor and filmmaker. The applause and external accolades didn’t completely heal his feelings of anxiety and insecurities and he found himself more isolated than ever. Today, Josh is the co-founder of PodMAX (an On Air Brands company), a podcast production and media company that provides training and events catered to entrepreneurs who have a meaningful message to share

EP18 -Michael kalisperas -Unleash Your Inner Spartan

About the book

I want to share with you that sometimes, it’s okay to feel weak, it’s okay to feel sad, it’s okay to cry, it’s okay when some days are better than others. More importantly to help you understand that there will be slow days, days when you may not be as motivated to do all you can do for your disabled loved one. I need you to understand that it’s okay to feel that way sometimes, it doesn’t mean you don’t love them enough or you are a bad parent, it just shows that you are human, and it’s okay to be “human” sometimes.

The aim of this book is to help you to see laughter in the midst of the overwhelming pain and chaos, and to come out of such situations, scarred but victorious, branded indeed but with new layers of faith, hope and love which no one can ever remove.
As you read this book, expect to experience, from the perspective of parents and siblings, the true effects that being disabled can have on both the affected ones and their care-givers. Prepare yourselves to read with great emotion the unabashed pages of Elenas’ diary and from the perspective of Vasilis young siblings of living day to day in the world of disability and all that it brings to a family unit.

This book is majorly about my brave son, my little Spartan; Vasili Kalispera, the one who keeps teaching me life lessons through all of his challenges and to him, it is dedicated.

I hope you find inspiration in it, and strength to overcome all of your troubles.

- Michael V Kalisperas

EP5 -Erin Harrigan- Pursuing-Success-Gods-Way

EP5 -Erin Harrigan- Pursuing-Success-Gods-Way

The world is noisy. Everywhere we turn we see what is expected of us, including in business. Messages about powerful women entrepreneurs bombard us: Boss Babe! Supermom! Mom Boss! We are taught to envision a life of prosperity, push ourselves to succeed, do whatever it takes, and strive for recognition. Those channels promise success and prosperity, yet what happens when the promise is unfulfilled? Not because we didn’t succeed, but in the midst of our success. When I found myself hitting this successful-yet-something-was-missing wall, I was left feeling like there must be something wrong with me. Was I not focused enough? Did I not want “it” badly enough? Was I not willing to work hard enough? Was I not cut out to be an entrepreneur? These lies are just what the enemy wants us to believe, as he seeks to distract us from God’s purpose by planting seeds of discouragement, doubt, and discontent in our minds. When some major setbacks led me to seek answers, I encountered Jesus. And that changed everything I knew about business. As you work to build a thriving business, do any of these sound familiar?  -I know I need to get back to prayer, but I hit the ground running every morning. I’m feeling lost. -I’m chasing the money but losing fulfillment...what do I do? -I want to keep Christ in the forefront of my business, but it’s challenging to tune out the world’s drive and strive mantra! If any of those thoughts resonate with you, this book is your roadmap for pursuing success God’s way! This is a great starting point for those new to bridging their faith and business, making God their business partner and learning to hustle with heart (and as a resource for our ongoing growth along the way!) I wrote this book to bring hope to women who desire to make an impact for God’s glory but aren’t sure if it’s possible (or even appropriate) to bridge faith and business. God gave us businesses to live out His purpose for us and to steward wisely. The only way to do this is with Him at the center, and that’s how we pursue success His way.

EP1 -Dawn Marcotte-Success Guaranteed 9 Lies Online Entrepreneurs Need to Know

Success Guaranteed 9 Lies Online Entrepreneurs Need to Know - The internet is the single best way for someone who doesn't have any business experience to create financial freedom.  It doesn't matter if you have health issues, young children to care for, no background in business, no college education, or no experience. The internet is the great equalizer.   But there are lies in the industry of building an online business that make us feel like failures. Marketing tactics that constantly highlight how well others are doing, when we are still struggling to find our first client. Unrealistic expectations of how fast our business will grow, even though we can’t seem to get a process that has worked for others to work for us. These are just some of the things new entrepreneurs struggle with the first year in business. It can feel so overwhelming, stressful and discouraging that many people just give up. This book addresses 9 of those lies and shares the wisdom and experience of more than 20 entrepreneurs who are living their dream today. We share insights and practical tips on how to overcome the mindsets these lies can create.   If you want to learn how to overcome the lies that cause so many entrepreneurs give up before they build their financial freedom then this book is a must read one for you.
