    Podcast Summary

    • Practice what you preach: Eat your own dog foodCoaches and motivational speakers should set a good example by following their own advice to build trust and maintain authenticity.

      It's essential for individuals, regardless of their role or position, to practice what they preach, also known as "eating your own dog food." This concept is particularly relevant for coaches and motivational speakers who often give advice to others. Hypocrisy in actions can undermine credibility and trust. For instance, a coach who advises waking up early and working out but doesn't follow that advice themselves is not setting a good example. This inconsistency can lead to confusion and frustration for those seeking guidance. By practicing what we preach, we build trust and demonstrate our commitment to the principles we promote. Ultimately, "eating your own dog food" is a powerful tool for maintaining authenticity and leading by example.

    • Practice what you preach for strong relationships and effective coachingConsistently practicing what we preach builds trust, credibility, and strong relationships. Lead by example to effectively coach others.

      Consistency is key in both personal and professional relationships. You must practice what you preach and do what you say you will do. This applies to coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone in a position of influence. When you fail to live up to your own words, it creates a dissonance that can negatively impact those around you, even if they may not consciously realize it. By consistently practicing what we preach, we build trust and credibility, and our actions become a powerful coaching tool for those around us. So, whether you're leading a coaching practice, raising children, or managing a team, always remember to "eat your own dog food" and lead by example. Consistency is the foundation of strong relationships and effective coaching. Additionally, the speaker mentioned upcoming announcements for potential challenges and a possible Black Friday special, so stay tuned for those updates.

    • Lead by example in authentic leadership and coachingAuthentic leaders and coaches build trust and motivate others by practicing what they preach, leading by example, and committing to personal growth.

      Authentic leadership and effective coaching require walking the talk. According to the speaker, when leading or coaching others through challenges, it's essential to practice what one preaches. By doing so, leaders and coaches build trust, credibility, and motivate others to follow their lead. The speaker shared his personal experience of participating in challenges alongside his clients, emphasizing the importance of leading by example. He also warned against dishing out advice without living it oneself, as it can come across as insincere or even dishonest. In essence, to truly make a difference in others' lives, we must first commit to making a difference in our own.

    • Embrace authenticity and self-growthAuthenticity and self-growth are vital for success and building trust. Practice what you preach and consistently strive for improvement to effectively coach and guide others.

      Authenticity and self-growth are essential for success in any capacity, whether as a coach, consultant, parent, or employee. The speaker emphasizes that the universe rewards those who are true to themselves and consistently strive for self-improvement. He encourages individuals to "eat their own dog food" and practice what they preach to others. The speaker's success in creating a podcast with over 700 episodes is a testament to his commitment to learning and growing, and he challenges others to do the same in order to effectively coach and guide others. Authenticity and self-growth are not only crucial for personal development but also for building trust and effective relationships with others.

    • Lead by example and practice what we preachAuthenticity and consistency build trust and grow a coaching business. Misalignment between words and actions can negatively impact relationships and self-worth. Healing emotional wounds and modeling healthy behavior is crucial for children and all relationships.

      Authenticity and consistency are key to building trust and growing a successful coaching business. Preaching without practicing can create a disconnect between what we say and what we do, which can negatively impact our relationships and the perception of our expertise. This dissonance can also lead to a lack of self-worth and negative self-talk. By focusing on healing our own emotional wounds and consistently practicing what we preach, we can model healthy behavior for those around us and build stronger, more authentic connections. Children, as emotional beings, are particularly attuned to this energetic disconnect and can sense when our actions don't align with our words. Therefore, it's crucial that we lead by example and do what we ask of others, both in our personal and professional lives.

    • Practice what you preachFocus on personal growth, align actions with advice given, and improve relationships through authenticity

      It's essential to practice what we preach and follow through on our own advice before giving it to others. When we fail to do so, we may feel like a fraud and experience a lack of self-worth. To grow and effectively help others, we must first focus on our own personal development and put our learning into practice. This means asking ourselves what we need to start following through on, and ensuring that our actions align with the advice we give. By "eating our own dog food," we can improve our relationships and watch our business or personal growth flourish.

    • Spread positivity and make a differenceListening to podcasts can inspire you to spread positivity and make a difference in someone's life

      There might be various reasons why someone listens to a podcast, including the possibility of winning a big cash prize. However, the host emphasized the importance of spreading positivity and making someone else's day better. The host concluded every episode with a reminder to make it a mission to improve someone's day. Overall, the podcast episode emphasized the importance of spreading positivity and the potential rewards of listening to podcasts. Tune in next week for more inspiring conversations. Remember, your actions can make a difference in someone's life. #podcast #positivity #inspiration #motivation #makeadifference.

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    Today, I'm exploring how our early experiences and surroundings shape who we become—and more importantly—how we can rewrite those scripts to create the life we truly want. Think of our minds like super-complex computers; they run on programs we pick up from childhood onward. These programs influence everything from our behaviors to how we think about ourselves and the world.

    From the moment we're born, we're soaking up information like sponges. It's fascinating to see how much of what we learn comes from observing those around us, especially during those crucial early years. I'll be sharing insights on how to uncover these subconscious programs, challenge them, and ultimately, rewrite them to align with your goals and dreams. If you're ready to take charge of your programming and steer your life in a new direction, this episode is for you!
