    Encore Meet Ryan Blair: From Gang Member to Multimillionaire and Beyond!
    Jul 31 2024
    This episode is a bit of memory lane for me personally. I first met Ryan when he became the CEO of a nutritional direct sales company called Visalus and he and his team, Blake Mallen and Nic Sanicola. They were one of the first people to offer to me to speak on stage to a huge crowd and even introduce my SpinGym - it was 2005. Now 17 years later, Ryan has been a best selling author and exited that company for over $725 million. It was spectacular to witness the journey and on this show we reunite for the first time in over a decade. Ryan is a candid, wildly centered businessman with amazing stories of a humble beginning, time in a Los Angeles Gang and now his newest venture called AlterCall. He will share with us -What was it like to have the fastest growing company on the New York Stock Exchange? -What’s your definition of being a great leader? -Why are you passionate about healing? -How did your son's autism play a role in your healing journey -What were the first few days, or months of the healing journey like when it felt like your world was collapsing? -How important is a morning routine and what does your consist of? -How can we learn to focus better in a world that can be noisy and filled with distractions? -What is the importance of breath-work? Is there a right way to do the technique? and more! Don't miss this show

    Encore Having a DREAM LIFE with Oprah's Former Producer, Sheri Salata
    Jul 10 2024
    For over two decades, Salata really did seem to have it all. Even so, when she stepped down from her role in 2016, she described her life as a full-blown catastrophe and embarked on a personal reckoning after spending years putting her own needs, health, and dreams on the back burner. As she began her journey of self-reflection and awakening, she imagined her future epitaph: “Sheri Salata. She had a great job. For a long time.” It’s one of the many powerful moments in the book where Salata writes about the truth staring her in the face: “I’ve had a dream-come-true career but not a dream-come-true life,” and commits to living differently. Today, she is the co-host of the popular podcast, The Sheri + Nancy Show, cofounder of thepillarlife.com, and describes her life as one guided by joy, happiness, and radical self-care. Along the way, she also learned powerful lessons that apply to any leader that wants more. We are blessed to have a one on one in-depth sit down about how important it is to self love, self purpose and truly identifying what's most important in your life. Don't Miss THIS SHOW!
