“The truth that I've found with myself, but also very successful people that I've been exposed to, is the one rule they don't want us to all know. And that is they're all making it up as they go along.” Success is not a straight path. Chasing down a dream will be fraught with rejection, loss, and pain. The key to achieving success is to be resilient and creative. Continue to take steps in the dark, not knowing that the path is there. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back. And ask for help. This is the advice of two time Emmy Award–winning talk show host, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, Mario Armstrong. He risked everything to follow his passion and made a hit TV show out of creative solutions and the unwillingness to settle.  About the Guest: Mario Armstrong is an Emmy award-winning American radio and television talk show host, entrepreneur, podcaster, and public speaker.

“What it means to have a practice is that you show up tomorrow even if it didn’t work today.” That is what Seth Godin, entrepreneur, best-selling author, guru, and marketing hall of famer, has to say about The Practice, his methodology on finding your true voice. The Practice is not about making art, writing a book, or working as a manager. It is about being an artist, a writer, and a leader. What is it that separates those who have creative hobbies and those who fully embrace their creativity? It is the work and not the outcome. It is finding and listening to the uninhibited inner genius. It is being generous and it is moving forward without guarantees. And it is about giving yourself the grace and forgiveness to be unsure, to feel like an imposter, and to fail. Because once you start The Practice, it doesn’t become easier, it becomes normal.  About the Guest: Seth Godin is an author, entrepreneur and most of all, a teacher. In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world, he has written 19 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn).  By focusing on everything from effective marketing and leadership, to the spread of ideas and change, Seth has been able to motivate and inspire countless people around the world. In 2013, Seth was one of just three professionals inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame. In an astonishing turn of events, in May 2018, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame as well. He might be the only person in both. About The Practice: Seth Godin’s new book launches today, November 3rd, 2020. This elegant little book will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world. Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

Alexandra Carter, world-renowned negotiation trainer for the United Nations, award winning professor, and best selling author, is here to ask us to ask for more. She has outlined the simple and direct questions to ask to turn a “no” into a “yes”. But negotiation is not just arguing over numbers at a table. It is any conversation that steers a relationship. That could be with a boss, a partner, or a child. But the most important relationship to steer, is the one with yourself. To negotiate is to know your worth. And when you ask for more, you not only teach the other party how to value you, but how to value all of us.  About the Guest: Alexandra Carter is Director of the Mediation Clinic at Columbia Law School, where she is also an award-winning professor, and a world-renowned negotiation trainer for the United Nations. She also serves as Executive Director of Stand Up Girls, helping tween girls develop relationships for greater self-esteem and resilience. She has appeared on CBS This Morning, MSNBC’s LIVE Weekend and Hardball, Marketplace, and in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

So join the Stand Out Movement and build your own success.  About The Guest: John Walsh is an inspirational and successful executive, entrepreneur, author, husband and dad with a passion for impacting the lives of others.

Cal Fussman and host Heather Monahan talk about the power of leading with certainty and the maximization that can occur for others and therefore yourself when we act confident. Leveraging how you know you can help the world (key word is here: unapologetically KNOW) is how you can attain bigger results. Don’t play small. You are doing the world and yourself a disservice when you do. Lead with certainty and confidence and you will notice things start to change positively and powerfully.  About the Guest: Cal Fussman is someone who is always going someplace new.Young people wearing earbuds may only know of him through his podcast, Big Questions, which recently cracked the iTunes top 50 in its first week.People who recognize him in airports because of his Fedora are likely to have seen him speak at conferences and corporate events around the world over the last couple of years. Readers may know him for some time now as a New York Times best-selling author.Magazine lovers may recognize him as the writer who spent a week with Muhammad Ali for an Esquire Magazine cover story, and interviewed Mikhail Gorbachev, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Robert DeNiro and hundreds of others who’ve shaped the last half-century. Wine lovers will know him as the guy who became sommelier at Windows on the World at the top of the World Trade Center just before it was taken down on 9/11. Relatively few people got to see him as the dad on the practice football field every day from the time his son couldn’t kick an extra point through the day he won a game with a 40-yard field goal in the final moments to the day he could kick them from well beyond 50. Kids in the cul-de-sac saw him as the dad who cooked breakfast for the entire neighborhood on Sunday mornings and beamed when his toothless oldest daughter said with pride: “My dad makes pancakes from scrap!” A select few friends and relatives saw him enter Carnegie Hall to watch his youngest daughter perform with her choir.  His three kids see him as the man in the photo above his desk sparring with Julio Cesar Chavez when he was 87-0 with 75 knockouts and junior welterweight champion of the world.

We all know that on the other side of negativity is positivity…but what about what’s in between? There is a lot of popular rhetoric that suggests jumping straight into positive thinking when faced with a negative experience is the next step but the truth is that is unrealistic and idealistic thinking.

How do you identify yourself? Do you find yourself stating your profession when you introduce yourself to others or feeling defined by your job, especially when your career feels like your calling?

Renowned comedian Nikki Glaser takes us through the value of validation, her journey through getting good enough, mental health and the time it takes to earn success.  About The Guest: Nikki Glaser is one of the funniest female voices in comedy today. For over a decade at clubs across the country, and as the host of three hit podcasts, Glaser has been honing her shockingly- honest, no-holds barred style of comedy. In that time, Nikki has also executive produced and hosted two TV shows: Nikki & Sara Live for MTV (a female-driven pop culture sketch comedy show) and Not Safe with Nikki Glaser for Comedy Central (a daring comedic show that tackled taboo sexual topics). In addition to her shows, Nikki has multiple stand-up specials and late-night tv appearances in which she jokes about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world. Nikki’s past and current struggles with anorexia, depression, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up and in in-depth interviews like WTF with Marc Maron and JRE with Joe Rogan. Glaser has become a complete open book on mic - and not just for the laughs; she’s also adamant on being the voice for women that she yearned for as a young, confused, adolescent herself. You can currently find Nikki flexing her over-sharing muscle as the daily host of the (entirely female-staffed) morning radio show, You Up With Nikki Glaser on Comedy Central radio on Sirius XM.

“The little rain drops are what make the storm” in other words, the small things matter and communication is key. With the global pandemic and many states in the U.S having a “shelter in place” mandate in effect, those of us in cohabiting relationships are being challenged in a way that magnifies our short-comings and our gifts. The experience at hand, riddled with stress and pressure, serves as a magnifier of our situations and will position us so that we can no longer look away from what may not be working. However, it can also allow us to lean into our connection even deeper and allow our most human tendencies like empathy, understanding and connection lead us.  About the Guest: Since the day he was "sworn in" as an attorney in Brooklyn, New York in 2001, James J. Sexton’s skills as a trial lawyer and courtroom advocate have rapidly thrust him into the forefront of the New York State family landscape. Described by some as a "compassionate and dedicated advocate" and others as a "courtroom gunslinger" or "the sociopath you want on your side," Sexton has captured the attention of the New York legal community and the results he obtains for his clients, in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, speak for themselves.  Sexton has intentionally focused his practice on divorce and family law since his graduation Fordham Law School. In addition to his Juris Doctorate (Law Degree) he has a Master of Arts degree from New York University where he focused his graduate studies on persuasive speech and propaganda. After nearly two decades of refining his skills as a trial lawyer in the Courtrooms of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Rockland, Westchester and Orange Counties, Sexton's legal skills and confidence in the courtroom earned him his place in the top 1% of family law attorneys practicing in New York. In 2018, upon the release of his first book, Sexton added #1 bestselling author, television personality and sought-after public speaker to his resume: his penchant for verbal gymnastics and no-holds-barred approach to argument thrusting him into the national spotlight.  More From James J.
