episode 28

This time around I share the origin story of my musical journey in the type of detail that I never shared before. I take you one an audio audiobiography through my life in music. 

One of the biggest fears we have as women, while dating, is getting rejected by a man we really like. 

And some of the most painful rejection is getting ghosted by a man that we really could really see ourselves building a life with. 

Shruti was one of many women who became devastated after her dream man ghosted her out of nowhere. He was attractive, checked off all the boxes, and she felt a strong connection with him…and she was crushed that he would disappear from her life with no explanation. 

That all changed when she decided to choose herSELF before choosing a man. 

Join me for today’s episode as Shruti (Cuff-link from August 2022 Cohort) gives you a behind the scenes look at how she went from being desperate for marriage, depressed and crying over a man who ghosted her to becoming a fierce Queen who boldly asks for what she wants, lives how she wants, and dates WHO she wants. 

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER: . 

• How Shruti went from being adamant about dating one man at a time to dating multiple high-quality men who provide, protect and pursue her for marriage. 

• The backstory behind how Shruti was able to quadruple her income and her options in men. 

• How Shruti was able to recreate herself and design her dream love life despite having tons of insecurities about herself as a woman. 

• The importance of embracing and loving past, painful versions of you who didn’t know any better.

We dive into the amazing stories of two dog training sisters from Latin America. Vanessa and Melissa Velez are two of the most devoted trainers that you'll ever meet. Having traveled to the U.S. to further their studies in dog training, they've become the trailblazers of modern dog training in a region that is still learning the ropes. They both came into the practice so naturally having both studied and worked in different fields before realizing their passion for dog training. This, among many things, lends to their very interesting insights into the world of dog training.

Brent and I are lucky enough to call these two ladies our friends. We were also lucky enough to dive into the current state of training in Latin America. We discuss training tools and methods, difficulties that wee all experience with clients, the importance of finding the right mentor, and so much more! You'll definitely want to give this episode a listen!

This week on the Blackbar Podcast, Nick, Caleb, and Zach talk about how a good product is just as important, if not more so, than a good marketing strategy.

From men's breakfasts to Chick-fil-A sandwiches, the guys discuss how good marketing alone isn't enough to make your product successful. They also dive deeper into strategies that can help you and your organization better understand what can make your product, promotion, and ministry the best that it can be.

This book has taught some incredible things that you will just have to watch the podcast to find out. Throughout the podcast we talk about the incredible strength that appreciation has in ones life, though you might get lost in how much appreciation we have for one another, I am certain you will learn what it truly means to appreciate. So buckle in and find out what it means to "lead a life of mastery" with Michael Maher.
