Life's New Normal Podcast With Host Long Jump Silver Medalist John Register

Have you ever sat down next to someone at an event and found out they were the rock star of that event? Such was the case of me meeting Tarran Deane, CEO of Corporate Cinderalla Leadership Development Company. What captivated me was not the polish of her presentation, but rather the manner by which she presented. Her spirit lept across the audience. Though Tarran unpacks how this Corporate Cinderella came into being during our interview, the real nuggest are her business growth journey to coaching C-Suite executives to consulting champions. Discover her carpash. Yes, that's right carpash (trust me I had no idea.) Discover how passion for horses, or rather horse power as she and her husband ride Ducati motorcycles and channel that energy to challenge CEO's to take more risk. And, discover, how she contiues to keep her faith at the forefront of it all as she unpacks her values. The interview was so good, I just allowed the call to continue for 55 minutes. Trust me the time will sail by! So strap in for anot

I heard Kirk Samuels speak for the first time at a Toastmasters District competition. I could not believe he was on stage being vulnerable with a topic around ography. I began questioning if I could ever be that vulnerable on the areas in which I struggle in life?  The amazing take-a-way was that his solutions were not like anything i have heard before. In fact you might be surprised as some of his answers. He is both pragmatic and practicle.  Today, I interview Kirk and we discuss the outcomes of in a way that invites people to see the struggles in their own life. I took away so many nuggets from this conversation and I am certain you will too.  Kirk has a book launch on February the 10th for, "For Your Eyes Only: The Inside Scoop about Men, , and Marriage," and it will take place in Parker, CO at the Vehicle Vault.  Unlike other book lauches, Kirk has decided to get some of the best speakers in Colorado and allow them to pour in to the lives of the attendees. He is not even promoting the book. If you ar

I started my new year off right. I spoke for Smile Brands Inc. Annual Leadership Conference on a Saturday morning in Dallas, Tx. and was so fired up after hearing CEO Steve Bilt fire up his team, I became nervous on how I build on his passion, enthusiasm and energy.  Steve's lessons learned on turning a company around is not amazing. The amazing part are his words are more than words. His words are a call to action. I mean when was the last time you saw your CEO not speak what the culture should be, but model the culture 365. If you are a CEO when was the last time you modeled the culture to ensure all the employees new you were 100% invested in the company success. In this episode of Life's New Normal Steve talks about his formula for connecting with people and helping them move forward in their passion and purpose. You will hear him discuss what he missed when he was not CEO for about two years and you will find his similarities to other industries (including the world of sports) fascinating. Finally, he

My guest this week is Nina Lee is the co-owner and General Manager of 503W, an award-winning restaurant, and bar in Colorado Springs specializing in uniquely handcrafted food and drinks using fresh, natural and local ingredients. It is locally-minded and locally owned. I met Nina, a very articulate, driven and direction focused individual who has a passion for bringing more culture to Colorado Springs, at a local Toastmaster club event. I was taken aback by her storytelling and her ability to craft a message that kept the entire club spellbound. She had call outs and slow reveals. She had callbacks and surprises around every weave of her 4-6 minute introduction speech. I had to learn more about her so I could learn to tell a better story! Today, we explore what makes her tick as well as what drives her. Then we shift gears into what comes next in her life.  This young lady is on the move and I hope you enjoy this wonderful interview with Nina Lee.

Today I have the distinct pleasure of interview my colleague and friend Mona Patel for the second time. She just found out she is has made the top ten finalists in CNN's prestigious Heroes Award show, which will air on the same channel on December 17th at 6:00pm. On a spring day in 1990, Mona Patel was walking to class at Cal Poly University when a drunken driver slammed into her. She was 17. Weeks later, when Patel got out of the ICU, she underwent her first amputation. It was the start of seven years' worth of surgeries in attempts to salvage the rest of her leg. But along the way, as Patel continued to struggle physically with her disability, she also struggled to find a support group for amputees. In 1997, with the prospect of another amputation, Patel made a promise. "I vowed that once I got back on my feet, I would start one," she said. Today, Patel's nonprofit, the San Antonio Amputee Foundation, aims to help amputees rebuild their lives. The group offers peer support, education and recreation opp

The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. This year's theme is "Inclusion Drives Innovation." The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month traces back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month. "Americans of all abilities must have access to good, safe jobs," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. "Smart employers know that including different perspectives in problem-solving situations leads to better solutions. Hiring employees with diverse abilities strengthens their business, i

To say Dawnna St Louis’ life started off rocky would be an understatement. But instead of letting these challenges hinder her success, they are a core part of what’s fueled her to become a top-selling author, wealthy entrepreneur, coach to top performing sales pros and business leaders, and keynote speaker to the likes of Microsoft, US Federal Courts, Merck, and many others. In a recent interview, Dawnna recalled living in her car as a teenage girl. “If my life was handed to me on a silver platter, I wouldn’t be as driven.  I wouldn’t be as hungry to discover my purpose,” she said. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, the author of books such as “YOLO -You Only Live Once… so LIVE” and “6ix Million Dollar Strategies of the Kick Ass Entrepreneur” turned her early life setbacks into a springboard for growth. I caught up with Dawnna St. Louis for an hour! I mean she gave me a full hour. Which means she just gave you a full hour. I full hour of business acumen.
