how to be a better person

Have you ever found yourself at rock bottom, wondering how to climb back up?

 I'm Brandon Caldwell, your host for The Successful Degenerate Podcast, and I've been there. I'll be sharing my raw and real journey from hopeful college graduate to homeless drug addict in Mesa, Arizona, to serving time in prison, and then transforming my life. My story is one of redemption and resilience, and I believe it can inspire and empower you, particularly if you're battling with your adversities, such as legal issues, personal struggles, financial hardships or societal prejudices.

Throughout this podcast, I'll also introduce you to business and thought leaders from a variety of industries who've hit their own lows and risen again. Their narratives will be a source of inspiration and guidance. Together, we'll redefine what success truly means and how to attain it, despite the challenges we face. Let's create a community where we share, inspire, and uplift each other, shattering stereotypes and embracing our vulnerabilities. Let's transform our lives, one authentic story at a time. I promise you, it's possible to rewrite your script of success, no matter how the odds are stacked against you. Join me in this journey of transformation.

The Successful Degenerate is produced by Brandon Caldwell and Eric Smith from Abuveground.

There are no people on this planet who are the same, so the greatest thing you can do is listen to their stories because that's where the magic is. So I want to ask you to think about a time where you judged somebody negatively. Go back and reevaluate that experience. How would you handle that situation differently with the knowledge you have today?

Neelam Patel is on the show today! She’s a former and longtime tech executive who left the industry in her late 40’s and became a published author/poet and public speaker. Her specialty is embracing the “messiness of the middle”, which we, of course, talk a lot about. If you’re ready to embrace the danger of vulnerability, befriend your rage, and follow your curiosity, this episode is for you! The name of her book is “Burning it Down: Dancing in the Rubble” and it’s emotional and touching and as I read it, I felt SEEN. You’ll also hear me recite one of her poems in my stuffy, snotty voice as I begin to recover from Covid. Enjoy!

The end of The Lowly SDR Podcast as you know it...

2021 was... well 2021. I'm sure just like a lot of you, I was met with huge obstacles, loss, and challenges. With all those L's... I saw some W's too.

Abuveground hit revenue goals I never thought possible. I learned and improved on skills like SEO, Website Development, Video Editing & Videography.

Honestly, 2021 was shaping out to be an amazing year in the beginning. I even was releasing podcasts. Working on other podcasts I was excited to show all of you. Doing a ton of interviews. I was in love. My business was booming and then boom.

IT ALL CAME CRASHING DOWN.

I lost one of my best friends (James Watts RIP), had to walk away from a bad relationship, and lost a ton of business... all in about 1-2 months.

It was rough. I became very unstable mentally. and got very physically ill.

This is the thing though. I've been through some $*!t in my life.

Oct 25th 2021 marked my 5 years clean from painkillers and when you've seen rock bottom... There's only one direction to go, and that's up.

The Lowly SDR and Abuveground are the embodiment of this sentiment. 

"Wipe the dust off your shirt when you stumble or get down. Gotta keep it moving til your head is Abuveground"

I'm done crying and feeling sorry for myself. It's time to get to work. I'm starting fresh. New approach to the show. New topics. New guests. Bringing back fan favorites. All that good stuff!

I want to talk about life outside of sales and still give you valuable advice on how to be a better salesperson / professional.

Season 3 is here and I'm feeling great about it. How about you?

Need help marketing your business?

Today's podcast is our Level Up (previously called Solo) segment, where we bring you actionable advice and tips to apply in your own life. We want the podcast to not only inspire you but to motivate you to take action.

The topic today will focus on four traits and qualities that can help you become a high-value person. A high-value person is someone others aspire to be. They're the ones who value themselves highly without being self-centered. This type of person knows their self-worth, exhibits certain high-value traits, and sets high standards for others in their lives.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Doing your best to keep your word
- Being unreliable devalues you
- Being in control of your emotions
- Who are the people you aspire to be? What kind of qualities do they exhibit?
- Breaking down why men want to be James Bond
- Having purpose and drive
- Having money doesn't always mean you are high-value

Sovereignty, what does that mean, and how can we embody this practice in our every day lives? We talk about body awareness and how we can feel more of our sovereign selves in our physical bodies and how we can consciously access our personal empowerment. Our bodies are AMAZING vehicles that give us indicators as to what is going on internally. As we learn to be embodied, and listen to our physical vessel, we become powerful in consciously shifting energy, aligning with the timeline we choose to live, and project our creative energy out into the world to powerfully create our lived daily experience.
Inanda gets vulnerable and shares her very recent and current situation working through some health issues as she learns to tune in to her body and find the balance of expert medical advice, as well as her own internal truth. Her process of healing is ongoing, and she is learning to listen to her body, loving the process, learning to be rooted and resourced from source as she navigates her own sovereignty.
We talk about different ways to be embodied and learn to listen to the deep messages from the wisdom of our bodies. Our ability to heal our own bodies is a process of learning to trust ourselves, listening to our innate inner wisdom and taking action from that place of truth. This is sovereignty in practice.
Sovereignty is an embodied practice of both the Divine Feminine; trust, surrender, intuition, inner guidance with the Divine Masculine; heart-centered right action, alignment, integrity. Learning how to find the play between the two is the dance between being rooted and connected with a letting go and trusting the process as it shows up in our lives and trusting ourselves to navigate from our own internal compass.

Our ask: If you believe that everything is for a greater understanding and experience of who you are, and nothing you do truly matters, what would you do different in your life today? As you grow, I grow. As we grow, 'god' grows.
