This is the final episode in Season 2 of the podcast. And today I’m talking about your Hero’s Journey.

The Hero's Journey is a template that helps writers create a compelling story. It was made popular by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces.

There are three high level stages to the Hero’s Journey: 1) Departure, 2) Initiation, and 3) Return. On the episode I walk through each stage and discuss how you can apply the hero’s journey to your business.

Plotting your Hero’s Journey in business can help you:

• Find the inspiration and motivation to start/keep going.
• Understand where you are right now.
• Accept and reframe obstacles in your path.
• Accelerate insights and growth.
• Know when and how to seek help.

Listen in and discover which stage you’re in and what you need to do to keep moving forward in your Hero’s Journey.

• The three stages and 12 steps in the Hero’s Journey.
• What you need to do to progress from stage to the next.
• Why we need mentors, allies, and helpers when we start out on a new adventure.
• The difference between the Hero’s Journey and the Heroine’s Journey.
• Why I resonate more with the Heroine’s Journey and where I’m focusing my personal growth.

• The Problem With Today’s Success Culture
• The Art Of Surrender And Manifestation (where my coach interviews me)
• Introvert Superpowers: Empathy
• Introvert Superpowers: Intuition

Listen in and discover how you can start practicing the art of surrender to enjoy your dream life.

• How letting go of alcohol opens up a new level of freedom and awareness in your life.

This week we explore another introvert superpower: empathy. The English word empathy was first used in 1908. It’s a translation of the German term einfühlung, which literally means “in-feeling” or “feeling into”.

Empathy is a natural human ability, yet it’s one that has largely been lost. As children, we are taught to value reasoning over feeling. We learn to suppress or deny our emotions. This reduces our ability to experience our own and other people’s feelings.

However, empathy can be a superpower – especially in business. The ability to appreciate how your clients feel about your marketing and products leads to superior customer experiences. Which in turn can generate accelerated business growth.

At the end of the day, we’re all humans sharing the same highs and lows. Understanding this and bringing it into our work will help us create a more compassionate and resilient business world.

• The surprising origins of the term “empathy”.
• Why empathy has become a lost art in the modern world.
• How to develop empathy as a superpower.
• Why it’s important to maintain boundaries while practicing empathy.
• How empathy can help you create loyal fans and a more impactful business.

On this episode I interview Tyler Davis. Tyler helps people look and feel better, move pain-free, and find motivation in life. He combines the best of physical therapy, strength and conditioning, and even mindfulness to create a unique and custom-tailored program that's right for you.

We discuss how to use exercise as a tool for self-discovery and development. We explore the link between body and mind. And how overcoming your perceived physical limitations helps you grow in all areas of your life.

Tyler’s story is inspiring. He shares how his early childhood experiences motivated him to start working out from the age of 9. Then later led to him joining the military where he discovered how to confront his limitations.

Listen in to learn how exercise can ultimately lead to a greater sense of peace and calm.

• How Tyler overcame the belief that he was not smart enough to start a business.
• Why your desire to grow needs to be stronger than your fear.

This is the second episode in a series I’m doing on introvert superpowers. Last week I explored intuition. Today we look at contemplation.

Where intuition can be fleeting, contemplation happens over an extended period. Intuition initiates and contemplation develops.

Contemplation is a way to hold an idea or concept in your awareness. It requires the left and right brain. And it happens in the present. It’s not the same as concentration, but it’s more active than meditation.

Listen to today’s episode and discover how you can develop contemplation into a superpower.

• What contemplation is and how it relates to meditation and mindfulness.
• How to use contemplation to find answers to challenging questions and develop ideas.
• Why living a contemplative life brings you more peace and calm.
• How to heal negative patterns and triggers through contemplation.
• Three exercises to help you develop your superpower of contemplation.

This is the first episode in a series I’m doing on introvert superpowers. These are natural abilities you have as an introvert. They may or may not be gifts that you’re currently aware of.

This week we’re exploring intuition. I love this superpower!

When you start listening to your intuition you learn to trust life. And when you act on intuition you unlock your greatest gifts.

As an introvert you’re naturally drawn inwards – you process the world by going within. And this is where your intuition lives… deep inside your heart.

Your intuition can speak to you in various ways. It looks different for each person and it’s something you must experience for yourself to understand.

Listen to today’s episode and discover the different ways your intuition might talk to you and how you can develop it into a superpower.

• The difference between intuition and analytical reasoning and why you want to balance the two.
• How to tell when intuition is talking to you versus fear.
• Why following your intuition will help you unlock your greatest gifts.
• Three ways your intuition can talk to you (through feelings, thoughts and symbols).
• How to develop your intuitive superpower via a daily practice.
• How to apply to join my new mastermind, Growth Circle.

On today’s episode, I share two big announcements. I also describe what I mean by The Path Of Heart.

The Path Of Heart is a different way to build a business. Most entrepreneurs push. And strive. And struggle. They chase every client and deal. They view the world as a competitive place. Where there are winners and losers.

But when you try to force results, you push away the very thing you want. When you look for friction, you find it. You may still reach the top of the mountain. But it will be at a cost – whether that’s your health, happiness, or peace of mind.

The Path Of Heart is about letting go of struggle. Showing up as your best self and trusting that the Universe will provide. It is a more easeful and joyful way to build a business.

• Two announcements:
• Business Growth Lab has a new look and a new price!
• I’m starting a new mastermind called Growth Circle. This is for heart-centered entrepreneurs who are ready to take the next steps to grow.
• How to tell the difference between what your soul and ego want.
• Why The Path Of Heart results in more joy and ease in your business.
• The three steps to building a more meaningful business from your heart.
