“If I move into that basement I’m never coming out.”  From growing up on the “wrong side of the tracks” to producing some of the world’s biggest events (many of which you’ve probably attended) my guest this week is proof that hard work, betting on yourself, and taking risks is the recipe for success.  Bari Baumgardner got fired and that was the nudge she needed to start her own business. She started her events company from her bedroom and always knowing she was meant for more, she took the leap and moved to New York City. That risk paid off and her business grew year after year.  She quickly became known as the go-to resource for coaches, authors, speakers, course creators, and influencers to leverage the power of a live event to deliver a "purpose-driven payday.” Today she’s worked with some of the largest names in the industry including Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Russell Brunson, Jack Canfield and more.  If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall of what it takes to produce an event with over 2.8 million people online, like the recent Art of Livin’ event with Matthew McConaughey this is it!  Full of personal lessons Bari’s learned from working with some of the world’s biggest thought leaders in the personal growth space, this episode will teach you…  ✅ How death and divorce impacted Bari’s drive to create a better future for herself   ✅ The difference between common sense and intuition and how they intersect    ✅ How to break free from your comfort zone  ✅ Dealing with negativity online  ✅ The Costco sales analogy and why selling should be easy (this is genius)  ✅ How to find your ideal client  Bari’s story is an example that it doesn’t matter where you come from, it only matters where you want to go and how much work you’re willing to put in to get there.  Thanks so much for listening and supporting this episode.

What would you do if one day the life you worked so hard to build was suddenly gone?  Well that’s exactly what happened to my guests on this week's episode of the Own YOUR Future Podcast with Chris and Lori Harder. From climbing the corporate ladder, LOSING IT ALL and then going all in on building Lori’s brand, Chris and Lori’s story is a powerful example of why starting over is actually the greatest place you can be because it’s a blank slate of POSSIBILITIES...  Today, they’re successful entrepreneurs, podcasters, authors each on their own and combined they’re the ULTIMATE POWER COUPLE who not only live and work together, but they do it with a whole lotta LOVE & RESPECT! They own several multi-million dollar businesses & give back to the community in a hugely impactful way.  And even with all that success, they still have their STRUGGLES, like we all do. In fact, Chris and Lori open up about something deeply personal they’re struggling with right now and how they’re dealing with it.  I can’t wait for you to dive into this HEARTFELT and inspirational episode! You’ll learn:  ✅The difference between a CAREER mindset vs ENTREPRENEUR mindset  ✅ What to do if the WORST CASE scenario happens (spoiler alert: you’re probably already in it)  ✅Why RECESSIONS are a great time to get started  ✅How to support yourself through FEAR when you’re just starting out  ✅Why security is just an ILLUSION and how it’s keeping you stuck  ✅How to become a POWERHOUSE salesperson (even if you hate sales!)  Make sure you stay until the end when Lori asks Dean a question that no one has ever asked him before…  This episode will TRANSFORM your mindset and have you inspired to take bold, uncomfortable action to create the life you truly desire… not the version someone else gave you.  I'd love to hear from you!

Stay focused on your goals and eliminate overwhelm with my Better Life Journal If you don’t face your problems head on, then you’ll never be able to truly ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS. That’s what I wish someone would have told me early on. Clean up your mess… your past first. Clean it up now, so you can enjoy your success.  And that was probably the biggest takeaway from my conversation with Matthew Hussey. For Matthew, he has been living with anxiety (which I can relate to) that he just accepted as that was the way it was. Then he had a lightbulb moment that changed everything for him. He was able to heal his emotional patterns and get to the root of what was really holding him back so he could enjoy the fruits of his labor.  In this Behind the Scenes episode, I’ll share with you what my mess was that was holding me back for years and how I finally cleaned up that mess so that you can do the same!  We all have something… the thoughts you have, that secret worry, that anxiety when no one is around that’s keeping you from going after the joy, happiness, success, income, impact you truly desire.  So what’s your thing?  I’ll share some questions to ask yourself so grab a notebook or journal and really take the time to be honest with yourself, dig deep because the truth is you’re going to run out of time… that’s just inevitable.  Your life is happening NOW… so confront whatever your thing is that’s holding you back today. You don’t have to wait for the perfect time, income, career, relationships, etc… before you look in the mirror and ask yourself what messes do we need to clean up?  I hope this Own YOUR Future Behind the Scenes episode from my conversation with Matthew Hussey inspires you to stop letting your past, your old stories hold you back from going after your dreams because… You never know where you can go when you don’t let your dreams get clouded by other people's limitations.  If you got something from this episode, why not share it with someone who needs it.

“When I’m honest with myself about how pathetic I am in certain areas, that’s really helpful”   That might sound harsh but it’s true. The moment you can be obsessively HONEST with yourself, that's the moment everything changes. My guest this week on the Own YOUR Future Podcast understands this on a deep level. Matthew Hussey’s journey to becoming the leading DATING EXPERT and confidence coach for women started when he was 11 years old! He read Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and it set him on a path at an early age. He realized that the things you believe about yourself or think you’re “stuck” with like anxiety, shyness, anger, being “bad” at relationships, etc – can actually be changed.  It’s those FOUNDATIONAL teachings that ultimately led to him becoming a New York Times bestselling author, international speaker, and relationship expert.  Matthew has the number one dating advice channel in the world. His YouTube videos have been viewed more than 470 million times and his content reaches over 10 million followers each week! But you’ll hear Matthew share things he’s rarely ever been asked or shared publicly – not even on his own channel! Plus we cover:  💛Why you’ll never be able to ENJOY your success if you don’t do the inner work  💛How to have more moments of PEACE 💛Why it’s ok to SETTLE  💛How to be more CONFIDENT 💛What leaves men desperately UNHAPPY and how to fix it You’re going to want to save this one to your favorites to refer back to!  Matthew is the real deal when it comes to helping you become better in your relationships and after helping so many women become more confident and find love, he’s learned a few things that we can all benefit from.
