Where do you stand in the middle of an entire generation that’s driven by career growth, life goals, and sky-high expectations? The world has projected the picture of success as a person who has built an empire, traveled the world, and conquered every single obstacle. Because of this, we start to compare and lose interest in the things that we already have. We disregard and underestimate what we’re already experts at because the achievements of others always seem to outshine yours. But getting that dream life is not easy to follow, as it would entail a job resignation and months or years of financial uncertainty. What if you can keep your job, stay happy with it, and become a thought leader at the same time? Join us as we start this season with three empowering missions for you!

Surprise! You are already an expert

After 15 years in the corporate world, our guest woke up one day feeling unfulfilled, stuck, frustrated and even guilty about her own situation. This realization came up only four months into what she had considered to be her “dream job.” She then began to meet entrepreneurs and worked in understanding their main struggle: generating sales. With her long experience in the area, she developed a solution addressing the needs of female entrepreneurs, and made the transition from being a full-time employee to a full-time business owner. She’s now a trainer and a coach who is helping entrepreneurs build their own multi-million-dollar sales organizations. This is my conversation with Ryann Dowdy. Ryann is a sales coach for female entrepreneurs. She brings her years of corporate sales leadership to coaching women in business on how to ask for what they're worth, develop pricing and packaging, and approach each sales conversation with confidence. She offers free training on sales, sales process, discovery calls, handling objections, closing, and networking. Ryann works hand in hand with female entrepreneurs to help them overcome their negative mindset around sales to bring on more clients, help more people, and make more money. These are some of the highlights of my conversation with Ryann: - How she progressively transitioned from her full-time job to starting her own business. - Why it’s important to take our time, communicate with people, make mistakes and learn while starting our own business. - Why we shouldn’t be concerned too much about the “imposter syndrome.” You can connect with Ryann here: Website: https://uncensoredconsulting.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanndowdyuncensored/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanndowdy  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanndowdyofficial/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3tfXQHWdhusdtCrEhl0yJg  Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanndowdy/  Uncensored Sales Podcast with Ryann Dowdy: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uncensored-sales-with-ryann-dowdy/id1454687278  The Passion Accomplished podcast with Alberto Sardiñas is available on www.PassionPodcast.com.

From the wrong “dream job” to entrepreneurship

What would be the top piece of advice from a serial entrepreneur and angel investor who has been involved in the development and transfer of hands of billion-dollar companies? Aside from being exceptionally successful, our guest has focused on an usually-overlooked aspect of business: the human talent. As a co-founder of several successful companies, including Lola.com, Kayak and many others, our guest shared why he considers choosing the right people as the most important business strategy. This is my conversation with the one and only, Paul English. Paul is the Founder and CTO of Lola.com, the easiest way for a business to manage their employee travel. Previously, Paul was CTO of KAYAK, a travel company he co-founded in 2004, took public in 2012, and sold to Priceline in 2013. Paul is also the founder of GetHuman, a service created to give consumers excellent customer service at any company. Paul grew up in Boston (as did his parents), his father was a pipefitter at Boston Gas Company, Paul’s first job was delivering the Boston Globe, and he went to Boston public schools until he studied music and computer science at UMASS Boston.

The billion-dollar “people” strategy with Paul English

Did you ever watch the movie Jerry Maguire? Our guest is the former CEO of Leigh Steinberg’s sports and entertainment Agency, the inspiration behind this movie. In his first week at the job, he was confronted with the responsibility of closing a $900-million deal, and he did it by following his boss’ top negotiating principles. However, he once also lost $100 million in a bankruptcy, which forced him to figure out what had made him successful in the first place. He shares with us how money can make us happy by “shopping” for the right things and how we can recover after facing major adversity. This is my conversation with best-selling author and host of the top entrepreneur podcast The Playbook, David Meltzer. David is also the Co-Founder of Sports 1 Marketing and his life mission is to empower over 1 billion people to be happy! This simple yet powerful mission has led him on an incredible journey to provide one thing…VALUE. In all his content, and communication that’s exactly what you’ll receive.

From a $100M-bankruptcy to a meaningful life with David Meltzer

“We all are billionaires.” This is one of the many powerful concepts that our guest shared with us on this episode. Originally from New York, his family migrated to San Juan, Puerto Rico when he was little, where his father later abandoned their home. He also experienced other difficult situations such as being ran over by a car, which led him to see life in a very negative way. However, our guest decided that he didn’t want to be defined by those negative situations, and progressively transformed himself to later become an internationally renowned life coach, who has appeared in media all over the world and currently coaches entrepreneurs that own multi-million dollar businesses. He’s here to share with us why we must be grateful with our lives amidst all the struggles that we face, why we should never lose faith in ourselves and trust the process, and why he sees each one of us as a billionaire. This is my conversation with best-selling author, podcaster, star maker, and TV/Radio personality, Chris Lee. Lee has been a collaborator for top latin and US television and radio networks like NBC, ABC, FOX LATINO, Noticias Telemundo, Wapa America, Venevision and Univision.

The power of trusting the process with Chris Lee

Because of a stutter problem at a young age, our guest grew up being discriminated against and decided not to use his voice, resorting to communicating using the written word. This led him to develop a deep desire to achieve perfection, which later caused self-injury when he deemed himself to be imperfect. Later in life, he finally accepted his imperfections, and turned his life around. He is here to teach us how to find our own voice, by clarifying who we are, why we are in this world and where do we go from here. This is my amazing conversation with Kary Oberbrunner. Kary is the CEO of Igniting Souls. He is an author, coach, and speaker who helps individuals and organizations clarify who they are, why they're here, and where they're going so they can become souls on fire, experience unhackability, and share their message with the world.
