    How to Get Seen, Be Trusted, and Get Paid for What You Know with Christine Blosdale
    Apr 8 2026
    If you want to grow as a successful thought leader, people need to see and trust you if you want to become profitable. I discuss how to move along that spectrum with my guest, Christine Blosdale. Christine is The Expert Authority Coach™ who helps entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and thought leaders get seen, trusted, and paid for what they already know. She’s an award-winning media personality and five-time #1 bestselling author with over 25 years expertise in broadcasting, branding, and business growth. We dive into topics including: The origin of imposter syndrome and how it creeps into your life.How to get over imposter syndrome.Examples of the negative stories you tell yourself and how to overcome them.What you need to do to start “being seen”Why if you’re not seen and heard, you’re not hired.How to pick the right kind of content to create to get yourself seen.Why owning your authentic personality your key to success and how to own it.How to craft your “signature story”.How to successfully go from being seen to being trusted.Strategies to author and promote your own book.The importance of taking things in small steps.Tips for successful first-time client meetings.How to gain the trust of potential clients.The biggest marketing mistake thought leaders make and how to avoid it.How to move from being trusted to getting paid without being pushy about it.How to “magnetize” yourself and bring the right people into your world.Examples of how to shift the energy that you’re giving off.The one thing, above all else, that you need to do to be seen, trusted and paid. …and other golden nuggets of advice! Christine’s Journey Christine has had many, many years of entrepreneurship experience and coaching experience with her clients from all around the world. She has found that there is a particular way of expanding your expert authority so that people get to see you, get to hear you, and ultimately get to trust you, which is the most important thing if you’re an entrepreneur. Christine has been working on that formula for several decades. A while back she worked in a major radio station in Los Angeles. She was a host and a producer, so she got to know what people want. Christine raised a lot of money online, about 1.5 million a year, for a nonprofit radio station. It’s about knowing what people want and what they need and then delivering it to them is something that Christine has homed in over the years. When she worked for America Online it was during the days when there was no TikTok, there was no YouTube, there was none of that. It was just pure communication through written columns and other written content. Christine has honed her skills over the years and she’s happy to be here to tell my wonderful listeners and viewers what we can do to expand our expert authority. Dealing with and Working Through “Imposter Syndrome” When Christine works with clients, they address the “Imposter Syndrome” issue right away. A lot of people experience imposter syndrome and it affects some people more than others. For some people it’s with them all the time in everything they do. For others, they’re fine until they’re asked to stretch themselves. In other words, to do something that they haven’t done before, or do something that’s a little scary and out of their comfort zone. Maybe it’s being asked to speak in front of a crowd. If that person has never done that before, imposter syndrome can creep up. What that is, is basically a fear of being found out of not being an expert. It’s a fear of what other people are going think about you and what people will say about you. Who Faces Imposter Syndrome the Most? It’s a comparison mindset that comes with questions like “Who am I to be speaking to these people? There must be people that are better experts in this field or more credible in this field.” Here’s the thing: It mostly happens to overachievers. For example it happens to therapists who have years and years of study and all the certifications and the qualifications and the experience BUT they’re stepping into a new realm like speaking. Overachievers tend to suffer from imposter syndrome more than your average person who’s just going through life trying new things all the time. Imposter syndrome can really stop people in their tracks. It’s a shame because a lot of people who can be helped by you, who can be impacted by your coaching, by your consulting and such, they don’t get that help if you allow the imposter syndrome to hold you back. Christine tries to get rid of that right away with her clients. There’s a couple ways that she goes about that. We’ll get to that in a minute. For now let’s ask and answer… Why Does Imposter Syndrome Affect Over Achievers More Than Others? It’s because the overachiever actually has more to lose, or they think that they have more to lose. It’s because whatever it is that they approach in life, they ...

  • How to Design Your Ideal Life by Creating Fulfillment and Impact with Mo Salami

    How to Design Your Ideal Life by Creating Fulfillment and Impact with Mo Salami
    Mar 25 2026
    Designing and living your ideal life is possible IF you have the right strategies. A big part of that is creating fulfillment in your own life while positively impacting the world around you. In this episode I discuss how to do just that with my guest, Mo Salami. Mo is a High-Performance Coach and International Keynote Speaker. He speaks multiple languages, fluent in English, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Mo is a former Senior Mentor for World Class Peak Performance Guru Tony Robbins. Whilst part of his California-based team, Mo generated tens of millions of dollars in sales for Tony Robbins’ events worldwide. Mo has done over 20,000 hours of 1:1 consulting; including consulting with over 8,000 business owners doing a million dollars a year in revenue or more. We dive into topics including: The three-prong approach of designing your ideal life.How to move towards the result that you want even before you see the result you want.How to know what opportunities to take advantage of and what to say no to.How to train today for who you will become tomorrow.How to blend fulfillment and financial success.When the tough times hit how to keep on keepin’ on mentally and otherwise.The “Three R’s” to reset your mindset.The 60-second, three-part strategy to get into a high-performance zone.The one thing, above all else, that you need to do to design your ideal life. …and other golden nuggets of advice! Mo’s Origin Story Mo came from a whole other world. The turning point for Mo came from seeing a sign and before we get to the sign, he’ll give this some context. Mo is from a family where having a degree is just the holy grail, if you will, of success and preferably a degree in the sciences. Mo got his first degree when he was 20 years old; he completed a whole college degree. The first one. That was the only definition of success he had at that point. Looking back he realizes how naive he was. He ended up getting three degrees and started his career in the medical field. He bought a nice house in a nice neighborhood, got a nice car, all that great stuff. The challenge was his nice six figure salary came with 16 hour work days. Mo had no free time, no “me time”, and that was his life. But luckily he was successful. When he got to the end of each year his year was just a blur of 16-hour shifts. Mo was a bit confused and unsure of his life choices because success didn’t feel like he thought it would. Then one day he was in a bookstore in Central London and saw a sign and the sign said “How to be Successful”. It turns out the sign was an ad for a book called “The Success Principles by Jack Canfield”. Mo grabbed hold of the book and started reading it right then and there. With time, a very short amount of time, he read every single book listed in the back of the “The Success Principles”. A Fork in the Road The fork in the road Mo encountered was, does he stick to his path of apparent success that he was already on? Or does he pursue this new definition of success that he had just discovered? Mo chose the latter. He traveled to Europe, USA, Canada, Asia, wherever, to learn from the best success teachers he could find. Whatever the cost, whatever the distance, he decided he was going to be there. Very soon he got a measure of expertise in online business, sales and marketing, personal development, and public speaking. He even went to work for Tony Robbins for eight years as a Senior Mentor. In that role he helped a lot of very high achievers and aspiring high achievers to get to that very next level as well. Mo’s role as a Senior Mentor was also a sales role. Because of that he had the opportunity to put all the learning he had about sales into practice. One of the highlights was making a million dollars in sales in a 90-day period. That meant he had thousands of opportunities to help people get to the next level. What he discovered was apparent success is when somebody else decides what success means for you; whereas actual success is success that you decide on your own terms. It’s just as simple as that. What he does today is help people get to their own purpose driven success. Mo calls it “Lifestyle Design”. You can also call it your own purpose-driven success. That’s for your own impact on the world and your own fulfillment as you define it. Using that to impact the world through your online business. Fulfillment being personal development, coaching, and using those to get to design the exact lifestyle that you want. The Pivot That Made All The Difference Mo says the pivot was instantaneous there. He didn’t even think about it. It was just an instantaneous pivot and, and what had helped him was, or, or should I say the, well, the pivot was instant. It was literally that sign. Mo discovered this whole other world that he knew nothing about. That pivot was instant. He looked at the front of the book (The Success Principles by Jack Canfield). He had a look at...

  • How to Turn Obstacles into Opportunities with Lasada Pippen

    How to Turn Obstacles into Opportunities with Lasada Pippen
    Feb 26 2026
    In this episode we’re discussing how to turn obstacles into opportunities with my guest, Lasada Pippin. Lasada was raised in an underserved community as a young African American and defied the odds to build a successful career in engineering and become a first-generation college graduate. His journey reflects the resilience and determination that now fuel his mission as an inspirational speaker. Lasada’s signature keynote series, “Say It Better: Communicate with Clarity & Lead with Confidence” draws directly from that path: Empowering corporate professionals, educators, and youth to overcome obstacles and pursue meaningful growth. With a message rooted in grit, reinvention, and purpose, he equips audiences with practical strategies to lead with intention, rise stronger, and climb higher. We dive into topics including: How to make and support your decision to “burn the boats”How to successfully step into the new space that you’re striving towards.The importance of finding the finish line and keeping your eyes on it at all times.What you need to do to build momentum to get to the finish line.What to do to stay once you’ve “burned the boats’ and successfully gotten to your island of success.The role of self-confidence in turning obstacles into opportunities.Why it’s of the utmost importance to move towards something that you’re truly passionate about.How to take action in “the moment of now” one small step at a time.How to keep on keepin’ on after the initial excitement of your journey fades.The reason you must really know and understand your “Why” on your journey.How to get strategic about your goals instead of just riding high on excitement and love.The power of starting with the end in mind.The three questions you need to ask yourself and answer to turn obstacles into opportunities.Why your journey never ends, it just evolves over time.The importance of celebrating your small wins.The importance of having a way to measure your progress and how to create it.The one thing, above all else, that you need to do to turn obstacles into opportunities. …and more golden nuggets of advice! Starting to Turn Obstacles Into Opportunities Lasada grew up in an underserved community with low resources and not having a whole lot. He feels like during his entire life that he’s had to turn obstacles into opportunities. There was always some type of roadblock, there was always some type of challenge. Lasada has a background in engineering and technology where he spent his professional time for a decade. Even making the shift from engineering and technology into the keynote and motivational speaking space was an obstacle. Lasada had to see the opportunity inside of that transitional moment if he wanted to get past that obstacle. An obstacle can be anything. It can be fear, it can be anxiety, it can be procrastination, it can be self-doubt, it can be a lack of self-confidence. There are so many obstacles that we don’t realize are obstacles because they’re wrapped in a different type of clothing. Because of that there are so many obstacles that we need to identify, and that’s the only way that we can turn them into opportunities. For Lasada it was getting over the fear, embracing it, learning how to coexist with it, and building up his self-confidence. He needed to develop the confidence that he could make each leap and go forward and operate in the space of keynote and motivational speaking that he operates in today. A Lifelong Journey Turning obstacles into opportunities has been a lifelong journey for Lasada. He said that it doesn’t have to be a life altering, such as super darkness, but let’s just say “dark times”. When you hit the dark times, you hit obstacles. It’s then that you really need to see and focus on the opportunities. A Decision to Create Opportunities When Lasada was getting ready to leave corporate, he was faced with a decision. His contract had ended, and so he had the opportunity to renew his contract. He could stay there and prolong the contract and continue being in a place that included a great income and great people. Nothing was “wrong”. OR he could take a leap of faith and go after what he really wanted to do, what he really loved, and what he really desired. He said a lot of times you are so blinded by what’s good that it blinds you from getting to what’s great. If you are blinded by darkness in your life, it’s oftentimes going to be hard to see that light. You have to shift that perspective. You have to change the way you see it. You must look at it like as an obstacle, but at the same time realize there’s also an opportunity naturally baked into every obstacle. If you adopt a mentality that for every problem there is a solution, whether you have the solution at that time or not, that’s a whole different story. You can adopt a mentality that within every problem that you face, there’s also a solution. So Lasada did a ...
