Connie‘s motivational song lyrics today is by the ― J. Geils Band “You love her but she loves him And he loves somebody else you just can’t win And so it goes till the day you die This thing they call love it’s gonna make you cry I’ve had the blues the reds and the pinks One thing for sure (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah, yeah (Love stinks)”   Love stinks…yeah, yeah or does it?  Perhaps love stinks for you because you haven’t figured out the rules of love.  What the heck am I talking about?  Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Deborah Hardee.  Deborah has done a ton of research interviewing men and women to find out how to find the love of your life.  Does this sound to good to be true?  Then settle in as my guest Deborah, shares her lifelong experience and research to help you find your perfect partner to help you live happily ever after.

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by, ― Jonathan Groff “Just follow your joy. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it’s meant to take you .”  Don’t you just love words like, “joy,” and “happiness?”  Both are so full of energy and generate a wonderful feeling inside.  Yet, joy and happiness seem to be fleeting in our society and replaced with stress, anxiety, and burnout.  Why?  What’s going on in our society to be causing such a huge shift from words and emotions that feel so good?  Can we regain control and reignite joy and happiness?  I sure hope so! Today your host, Connie Whitman speaks with Halli Bourne. Halli is going to discuss the creativity crisis we’re witnessing in our culture, our companies and most shockingly in our children’s classrooms using her unique approach that combines teaching, meditation, yoga and coaching. Despite the endless self-help books,Ted Talks and creativity “experts,” we’re facing a marked decrease in creativity, record high levels of stress,

Connie’s Motivation quote today is by – Bill Bradley “Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal, and help one another achieve respect.” We’re faced daily with headlines or often our own encounters of disrespect in the workplace. Whether it’s the attention grabbing #MeToo stories, fearful business practices, hostility, discriminatory actions, or multi-generational conflicts, just to name a few…workplace disrespect has grown to epic proportions. These actions and behaviors impact productivity, teamwork, and overall job satisfaction. Why? And what can we do about it? Today, your host Connie Whitman, speaks with two amazing guests to help us break down this topic and review some key steps to help us sustain respect in the workplace.  My guests today are my two business partners, Al Giobbie and Cindy Rowan, from The Roundtable Group. They are going to provide some backgr

Connie’s motivational quote today is by, – Adam Carolla “The thing about a good podcast is you have to have a good host.If you don’t have a compelling host then you have nothing” Podcasts are all the rage…right?Many people prefer choosing podcasts with topics that interest them, versus other more traditional venues like the radio or TV. So why is podcasting appealing? Probably because there are so many podcasts available, on every topic you could think of.There are no limits! So why are businesses using podcasting to build their business? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Rob Greenlee.  Rob is going to help us look at the popularity of podcasting and why businesses may be using it as means of marketing and branding. Rob started a radio show in 1999 that became the first nationally syndicated radio show in the world to become a Podcast in 2004. Rob is currently the VP/Head of Partnerships at Voxnest.com and Spreaker.com. Rob is the former EVP/CTO at PodcastOne.com in Beverly Hills, CA

Connie’s Motivational quote is by ~ Dean Ornish (the author of extreme Health:  The Nutrition Connection). “Eating a vegetarian diet, walking (exercise) everyday, and meditating is considered radical.  Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg vein in your heart is considered normal and conservative.” Wow, does that nail it or what? I think most of us will usually seek the quick fix! The reality is, there is no such thing. What’s that old saying, “If it sounds to good to be true, then it is probably too good to be true.” Yet so many of us take several pills per day trying to “treat” various diseases. I love the word “treat” here.  We don’t take meds to “cure” the disease we take them to “treat” the disease.Crazy, right?  So why do we keep treating the symptoms by putting Band-Aid’s on these awful disease.  Are there really alternatives that can cure rather than treat diseases? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Dr. Vijaya Nair, MD, FAMS, MS – Founder at SoulAccess Meditation and

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ― Deep Immersion “Let us take you into a deeper experience, make a moment a lasting conveyable memory. Let us help build your tribe.”  Competition keeps us sharp and on point. Technology and social media have presented us with a plethora of new options, not only for people to find us, but to learn about us. By the same token, we can find them too. When we seek a particular type of person as a customer or a client we are engaging them to be a part of our “tribe.” We are offering a glimpse into what makes us tick, what our mission is and how we can help by what we project through our online branding, on social, and on our web site. So where does a business begin to find clarity as to what to put out on the web that will “build this tribe?”First step may be to find an expert who can help you navigate through this uncertain terrain. Today your host Connie Whitman, speaks with Joe Kashurba. Joe is the President, CEO of Kashurba Web Design Group, LLC. Joe grew the freelanc

Connie‘s Motivational quote is by ~ Theodore Roosevelt   “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”   This quote will make more sense as we discuss today’s topic… Don’t Pay For Your MBA – The Faster, Cheaper, Better Way to Get the Business Education You Need. The costs for college education and graduate school have become so expensive that kids are coming out of school will mortgage payments. You probably know a few of these broke kids. The benefit of college & grad school is that they or their parents have invested in their future…right? If that’s true then why is having a college degree not a guarantee for landing a job that allows you to earn enough to pay off the college debt? Where did we go wrong? Here’s a fun facts: In 1908 the Master of Business Administration graduate degree program was established at Harvard College to prepare students for management and leadership positions. MBA’s are still popular, yet times have changed. These credentials no longer offer a guarantee for employment

Connie’s quote is by ~ Robert Kiyosaki “The richest people in the world look for and build Networks, everyone else looks for work.” Wow, does that nail it or what? When we are in networking mode, what we really need to do is listen – how can we help that contact?  what connections can we make for them?” The funny thing, most of us are really bad at networking. Picture it. You and a couple of colleagues attend an important networking event where the big players go. You and your colleagues walk in and determined to get at least 2 new business cards…check! By the end of the evening each of you may achieve securing the two new business card acquisition but what was gained form those business cards Perhaps the more important question is, “why did you limit yourself to only two new contacts?’ Even more importantly was your and your colleague’s objective to acquire two new business cards a good strategy? The answer is probably not. A better strategy is to meet and have quality conversations with as many people as y

Connie’s Inspiring Motivational quote is by ~ Mark Twain The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time” You know the old saying, “If you can’t see it does it really exist?” Life after death is such a big and sometimes controversial topic. Just because we have not experienced death first hand, because we are alive, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true…right? There has been tons of research and papers written on this topic, yet we question it. Today my guest, Annie Mattingley, has written a book called “The After Death Chronicles.” The book begins with the story of Annie’s daughter, who had passed away, appearing to her in the early morning hours. The experience was so transformative, Annie began to share it with others and discovered she was not alone. Featuring over 80 accounts from people across the country who have received communication from deceased loved ones, this book inspires reassurance, courage, and healing. Dr. Christine Northrup read this b

Connie’s motivational quote today is by, – Cheryl Richardson “If you want to improve your life immediately, clean out a closet. Often it’s what we hold onto that holds us back.” This quote is very insightful because often what we fiercely hold onto, may be what is blocking us from the true life we dream about. It’s a blind spot…right? So I need to ask, what are you holding onto, and why, and how may it be holding you back? Really think about this for a minute. When your home or office is tidy, don’t you feel more productive? Don’t you think just a little more clearly? Don’t you feel a little calmer and respond to issues with more clarity and logic? This is such an important topic that we all have full control over. It’s a choice that we get to make and there are easy ways to remedy our clutter. So if we clear our clutter, both physically and mentally, what can we expect to happen in our lives? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Katie Tracy the Simplicity Expert® and owner of Simple Spaces Profession

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by, – Art Roy Remy “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” Love this quote.  How many of us stop just before we achieve a goal?  We feel like it will never happen, so why bother? I believe it is the Marines who say, “when you think you have no more to give, you actually have 40% more in reserves.”  I think of this mantra often, when I am ready to throw in the towel out of frustration because things don’t happen fast enough.  So I stop, regroup and push on.  The funny thing is I always have that extra 40% in reserve to complete the task I had set out to achieve. It works every time! So why do we stop short and throw in the towel so easily at times?  Well, today you are in store for a treat as your host, Connie Whitman, discusses mindset with Dr. Samantha Madhosingh.  Dr. Samantha shares some tips on how to go from defeated to success. Dr. Samantha is the founder and CEO of ElevateHER, an organization serving leaders in business and in life by providing key strategies

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by, – George S. Patton “The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.” Men and women go to war every day, many come home but many do not. Do you think we do enough for our veterans? Do we provide enough support once these hero’s come home after seeing unthinkable things? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with David M. Salkin.  David is helping to raise awareness for our military veterans in many ways. Recently he has written a book called Battle Scars, which is an inspirational story of a wounded warrior’s journey towards healing and redemption A True Renaissance Man, David is an author, gourmet chef, wine connoisseur, scuba diver, Master Graduate Gemologist, and elected local-government official for 24 years.

David has appeared as a guest speaker all over the country, including three times as a

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by, – Coach John Wooden “Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you.” Do you think athletes like Tiger Woods or Derek Jeter had coaches, throughout their careers, who argued with them and provided some real feedback to get them to the next level of their game? Even though they are considered one of the best athletes in their sport, who were born with superior talent, do you think that their coaches helped them to constantly improve as they aimed to be the very best? Are athletes any different than business owners or leaders in their field of expertise? We do not know what our blind spots are and like the quote just given, we need to surround ourselves with smart people who‘ll argue with us. My guest today is Anna Lichnowski and Anna started her entrepreneurial career at age 21. She has established and successfully grown 4 companies, profitably selling interest in 2. She is an advocate for change and helps her client face change so t

Connie‘s motivational quote for today is by ~ Vala Afshar “We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust, and care for each other.” Etiquette – in simple terms is how you conduct yourself and how you treat others.   Etiquette, manners and behavior in the workplace are a biggie. The reality is that in today’s workforce, people come from five generations and all kinds of backgrounds and perspectives. We are working together under intense pressure, avoiding saying or doing something that might annoy, offend, or alienate someone is like walking through a minefield. So how can business leaders mitigate misunderstandings and foster teamwork? How can we minimize interpersonal missteps and how important is this concept in today’s workplace? Today, your host Connie Whitman, speaks with Rosanne Thomas. Rosanne is founder and president of Protocol Advisors, Inc., specialists in providing business etiquette training to professionals at respected organizations from Tiffany & Co. t

Connie’s motivational quote today is by, – Jeremy Taylor “There is no such thing as a dream with only one meaning.” How many of us dream at night and don’t even remember them? Maybe the only dreams we do remember are the scary ones where are running from a predator or falling off a cliff. Scary stuff! Have you ever thought about what your dreams actually mean and how they may impact your waking life. This is such an interesting and cool topic to discuss! Today, your host, Connie Whitman speaks with Dr. David Low. David holds a MS & PhD in Religious Studies, is an author, former drug counselor, and Adjunct Professor of Religion, who today is primarily a dreamwork practitioner. He has new spirituality textbook called Universal Spiritual Philosophy and Practice, written in a very entertaining and comprehensive way.

Connie‘s Inspiring Motivational quote is by ~ energyhealinhomeopathy.wordpress.com “Every new day is another chance to change your life.” What an awesome thought. Each day truly is a new opportunity for whatever we choose. I guess we should choose wisely! Let’s take this one step further, what if illnesses like cancer, heart disease, mental disorders and Alzheimer’s were a choice? What if we could choose to heal them, or not have them at all? Would you be interested in learning more to take control and eliminate disease from your life? Sign me up! My guest today, Patti Conklin, believes that our words have more of an impact on our lives than we realize. They manifest within our bodies the second they are thought or spoken, storing up over a lifetime through vibrations. These words come with an emotional attachment and can create physical blockages in our energy flow, creating illness or disease. In her book, God Within: The day God’s Train Stopped, Patti describes how these buildups have occurred, what they m

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ~ Amen Amar’e @ real men movement “Lack of communication leads to a lack of trust, that leaves room for doubt.” Have you ever been in meetings or at a family event and felt that no one was listening to you? Did you ever have something really important to say and felt ignored? Why does this happen and perhaps more frequently than you would like? Are we doing something wrong or are we just missing a key piece of information that can empower us to be heard every time we speak? What if I told you there is actually a simple answer to understanding how and why you communicate the way you do and there are some relevant resource’s to help you improve communication in all areas of your life? Are you ready to uncover your true communication style, learn the strengths and challenges that come with it and how to perhaps improve how you communicate as soon as today? Today we are going to mix things up and switch roles to show you how change can be fun as we learn.  My guest today is

Connie’s Inspiring quote is by ~ Simon Sinek Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.” Deep down we all know this quote is true…right? Yet in a recent Gallop poll, 70% of Americans “hate” their job. So what are we doing wrong and why do we keep going to a job we “hate?” Most of us have bills to pay and need that steady pay check, but what if there is more? Would you go for it and live your passion, even if it’s only on a part time basis? Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Alfred Otero. We are going to hear his story about how he lives his passion by writing children’s stories, that are filled with so many of life’s lessons about adventure, fun, love, compassion, morals and so much more! Al is a Physician Assistant, by day, working in family medicine for 20 years and also spent 11 years in the Navy – active and reserve. He has always loved and been passionate about writing and finally was able to complete his first novel ca

Connie’s Inspiring Motivational quote is by ~ Brian Tracy “Just as your car runs more smoothly…when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.” Wow … Life Balance is something we’ve been talking about for years – has anyone found it? Or is it just one of those things we dream about? You probably know someone who you think may have “it” … how do they do it? Wouldn’t you love to know? So it actually is a possibility to have everything running is synch or at least heading in that direction Today we are in store for a great treat! Your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Michael Kohan. Michael is affectionately known as Mukunda and is dedicated to helping his clients and students find balance in all aspects of their lives—emotional, spiritual, mental and physical. Michael is a Certified Health Coach, Certified Life Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher and Certified Vedic Thai Yoga Body Work Practitioner who works with others to help th

Connie’s Inspiring Motivational quote is by ~ Zig Ziglar “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” We can all agree that to win we must do some type of planning. For business owners, does preparing to win include securing some form of business credit? How does a business go about arranging funding and credit to help their business thrive? Does a business earn credit the same way we do as individuals? The whole thing seems overwhelming because business have Tax ID’s not social security numbers. Is a business considered a living entity? So many questions that need clarification! We are going to sort this out with our guest, Ty Crandall. He is an internationally known speaker, author, pod show host, and business credit expert.   With over 16 years of financial experience Ty is recognized as an authority in business credit building, business credit scoring, and business credit repair.  And he’s written two  books, Perfect Credit and Business Credit Decode
