We've all been promoted to public figures. AI has taken over 90% of our tasks, thrusting us into leadership whether we're ready or not. The gatekeepers are gone. We are now the architects of our lives and the changemakers of society.


But with this promotion comes responsibility: How do we lead ourselves? How do we get discovered and build our presence? And when AI handles everything else, what do we do with what's left? How do we stay authentically human?


This podcast explores these questions through conversations with leaders, innovators, and everyday people who are navigating this shift.

We'll profile those doing it well, bring in experts to share their strategies, and uncover what it means to thrive as a public figure in this new age.


Each episode focuses on:

Leadership: What does it mean to lead when AI is your taskmaster? How do we shift from following to leading ourselves?

Influence: How do you get discovered? How do you build your presence and share your gifts with the world? The strategies that worked for celebrities now work for everyone.

Authenticity: If AI takes over 90% of our tasks, what do we do with the remaining 10%? This is where we become fully human. What matters most to you? What do you want to create, explore, or contribute?


Join us as we explore the changing role of the public figure, master the art of influence, and discover how to stay human in the age of AI.

Together, we dug into how AI has reshaped white-collar jobs since 2013 and why blue-collar skill sets will only become more valuable as automation continues to advance.


Neal and I explored the mindset shifts that leaders and professionals will need to make to thrive in an AI-driven economy, from embracing creativity and strategic thinking to cultivating self-leadership and adaptability.


We also discussed the critical role of policy and education in preparing for this transition, recognizing that policy must catch up with the pace of innovation.


This is a bold, future-focused conversation that urges listeners to embrace continuous reinvention, leverage AI as a productivity partner, and recognize that hands-on expertise will shape the next generation of wealth and influence.


Key Takeaways

  • The Creativity Premium In a world where AI handles execution, the golden ticket belongs to those who can dream up what needs executing. Strategic thinking and creative problem solving become the ultimate differentiators.
  • White Collar Extinction Event Entire industries built on processing information are about to discover they're competing against machines that never sleep, never err, and cost pennies per hour.
  • Leverage or Perish AI isn't replacing humans. It's replacing humans who don't use AI. The winners will be those who turn these tools into productivity superpowers, not those who pretend they don't exist.
  • Self Leadership Revolution Nobody's coming to save your career. The new economy rewards those who take radical ownership of their skill evolution and stop waiting for permission to reinvent themselves.
  • The Blue Collar Gold Rush Physical skills are about to become digital gold. When robots can write code but can't fix your plumbing, guess who's laughing all the way to the bank?


Chapters

00:00 The Evolution of AI: A Journey from 2013 to Now

07:16 The Impact of AI on White-Collar Jobs

14:09 Reinventing Skills in the Age of AI

21:55 Becoming Indispensable: The Human Element in AI

30:40 The Business Case for AI: Time and Efficiency

37:33 Government’s Role in the AI Revolution

44:30 The Future of Work: Blue-Collar Millionaires

With deep expertise spanning AI, emerging technologies, and systems thinking, Neal is known for his practical insight into how organizations and individuals can adapt to rapid change. A trusted advisor and mentor to founders, executives, and creators, he is passionate about empowering people to embrace new ideas, navigate disruption, and build lasting value in a shifting landscape.

]]> Positioning Is Dead. Community Is the Brand. Positioning Is Dead. Community Is the Brand. Thu, 29 May 2025 12:00:00 GMT 1:04:59 6837fac0998551779ff07477 false https://shows.acast.com/moving-beyond-acronyms-with-torund-bryhn/episodes/positioning-is-dead-community-is-the-brand 6837fac0998551779ff07477 5e8da3da5393dcf93bd5f004 positioning-is-dead-community-is-the-brand full 89 In this conversation, I sit down with Patrick Hanlon, author of Primal Branding—widely regarded as the most important book on branding ever written. Together, we explore why positioning is no longer enough, and how the brands that thrive in 2025 will be those that build community and belief—not just visibility.

Patrick shares how the Primal Code—a set of elements like creation stories, rituals, and nonbelievers—is still the most powerful blueprint for building a brand people want to follow. We dive into how AI is changing branding, the tension between performance marketing and long-term brand equity, and what it means to create authentic human connection in a data-driven world.

Takeaways

Primal Branding builds belief systems, not just marketing plans

Preference—not positioning—is what drives buying decisions

Your creation story sets emotional context and builds trust

Community is the new personal brand

AI can assist with brand audits and strategy, but can’t replace story

Branding without authenticity is forgettable

The second follower is what turns attention into momentum

Differentiation comes from meaning, not noise

Performance marketing is a sprint; branding is a marathon

Success is about becoming a magnet, not a megaphone


Chapters

46:24 – The Role of the Second Follower

52:55 – The Origins and Framework of Primal Branding

01:00:03 – Belief, Branding, and the Future with AI


Patrick Hanlon is the founder and CEO of Primal Branding, a strategic brand consultancy built around the breakthrough framework introduced in his book Primal Branding—a modern classic that’s become required reading at YouTube and a go-to playbook for marketers worldwide.

Hanlon’s core belief: brands are belief systems. In today’s world, where audiences are burned out on interruption and hype, Primal Branding offers a clear blueprint for building communities through story, meaning, and shared identity—not just pushing messages through a megaphone. His work bridges the gap between digital, social, and traditional marketing, providing the unifying theory behind content that connects and spreads.

Over the years, Patrick and his team have launched new ventures and re-engineered iconic brands across the globe. His client list includes Levi's, PepsiCo, Shopify, Fossil, Experian, PayPal, Yum!, Kraft, Bungie, Time Warner Cable, GOOD/Upworthy, Brave Software, and The United Nations.

His insights have been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, BusinessWeek Online, Inc., Entrepreneur, and NPR, and he has appeared on CNBC, Fox Business, and as a subject matter expert on branding in the documentary series The Kennedy Files.

This isn’t just about writing clean copy or managing internal newsletters—it’s about power, politics, and personal presence.

Strategic communicators are being called to step up, not blend in. In this episode, we get into the real work of influence: shaping narratives, building credibility, navigating political landmines, and becoming the kind of leader people listen to.

Key Takeaways:

  • Communication isn’t a soft skill—it’s a leadership skill.
  • Political climate shapes how and what we communicate—internally and externally.
  • Personal branding isn’t optional anymore—your name is your leverage.
  • Strategic communicators are power players, not support staff.
  • Your network is your influence amplifier—introductions build authority.
  • Legacy in comms isn’t about tenure—it’s about impact.

Soundbite:

“If you can’t communicate, you can’t lead.”

“Credibility is the ultimate currency in communication.”

“Strategic communicators are the translators of chaos.”

“We are all brands now. The only question is: are you managing yours?”

“Real influence is built behind the scenes, through connection and consistency.”

We dive into what it really means to hire in the age of AI: and why it’s not about humans vs. machines, but about hiring humans who know how to use AI.

Cailean brings a fresh and creative lens to recruiting, shaped by his years coaching Division I men’s soccer. At Design Pickle, he leads hiring across Technical, GTM, and Creative roles: and shares how their approach to “Pickle-izing” the hiring process helps protect culture, voice, and standards.

We explore why curiosity and grit matter more than traditional credentials: how AI is changing the way we think about creativity and ghostwriting: and what the future of work looks like when the human element and technology work in sync. If you're building a team, applying for roles, or navigating where you fit in the AI-powered workforce, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

Hire the human who uses AI

Never sacrifice your standards: just upgrade your tools

Pickle-izing is about cultural alignment and consistency

Curiosity, grit, and adaptability are non-negotiables

AI doesn’t replace creatives: it powers them up

In this episode, host Torund Bryhn presents the remarkable story of Işık Abla, a former would-be suicide bomber turned global minister. Işık's journey is one of astounding transformation, from her radicalized upbringing in Istanbul to becoming a beacon of hope for refugees, survivors of sex trafficking, and those seeking emotional and spiritual healing.


Listeners will hear about Işık’s early life in a violent Muslim household and the extremist beliefs that shaped her youth. She shares her escape from an abusive marriage and her subsequent involvement in "educational jihad." Her move to America marked a turning point, where she discovered a path of grace and faith that radically altered her perspective and mission.


Torund Bryhn guides the dialogue, exploring Işık's impactful work with displaced individuals, her empathetic engagement with radicals, and her compassionate approach to sensitive issues such as gender identity. Işık's story is not just about overcoming immense personal challenges but also about the power of faith, understanding, and leading by action rather than words.


This episode also gets into profound moments of personal growth and the incredible resilience that has allowed Işık Abla to inspire change across 200 countries. The conversation promises to be a testament to the courage and the relentless pursuit of purpose, offering listeners a deep and moving narrative of redemption and hope.


About the guest : 


Işık Abla aspired to be a suicide bomber at the age of twelve. Raised in Istanbul in a strict Muslim household, her life was marked by abuse and turmoil, culminating in a violent marriage that left her on the brink of despair.


Everything changed with one encounter. A single act of kindness from a stranger sparked a journey that led Işık to embrace Jesus Christ. Through faith, she found hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose, transforming her life from one of pain to one of redemption.


Today, Işık Abla Ministries is a global Christian TV broadcast and digital media ministry with a mission to bring light into darkness and set captives free in all nations, inspired by Isaiah 61:1.

Original programs in Turkish and English—later dubbed into Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu—are broadcast and streamed in over 200 countries on six continents, reaching more than 700 million people.

We talk about the importance of expressing gratitude and appreciation, why we sometimes don't take the time to show how grateful we are, and more.

When we visit different countries, we experience and see how people behave, eat, and communicate, and we get a taste of their culture. It is different when we live in those places; then we know their culture on a deeper level. It would appear that as tourists, we only get to see the tip of the iceberg. Culture is visible not only in how people dress, eat, or talk; it impacts everything, the way people do business included. That is why cross-cultural deals that ignore the influence of culture in business are doomed to fail. 


Joining me today is Brenda McGuire, CEO of WorldWide Connect, Virtual Trainer, and Speaker. She is a best-selling author, Cross-Cultural Expert, Founder of Global Gals, Global Leadership Coach, and Travel Expert. Brenda has been in 85 countries and lived in 6; she has over 25 years of international experience helping professionals succeed globally. At Global Gals, Brenda empowers and educates women to live, work, and travel the world. 


In this episode, Brenda kindly shared how she went from being a country girl from Iowa, surrounded by a sea of cornfields, to be a globetrotter. We talked about the different kinds of business approaches from different cultures and the importance of understanding those differences. Brenda also shared her view on the way cross-cultural businesses will evolve in the following years. 


Tune in and listen to Episode 38 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe and listen to Brenda's fascinating experiences around the world.


Some Questions I Ask:

  •  How did you go from local to global? (1:59)
  • You've been to 85 countries, you've lived in 6 and connected yourself in various tribes. Would you tell us a bit of that? (10:33)
  • In cross-cultural deals, would you say the most important currency is trust? (14:17)
  • We are more and more creating a global mindset. And more and more companies are looking for a person with a global mindset. Could you give your perspective on what is a global mindset? (25:48)
  • What would you think is going to happen to travel after the pandemic is over? (33:47)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • "See the World." The beginning of Brenda's journey (3:35)
  • Life is about relationships. We connect with people in the most unexpected ways (8:07)
  • Culture impacts everything. Business must learn everything from how to manage the workforce to close a deal (19:01)
  • To perform cross-cultural deals, leaders must develop a global mindset (24:43)
  • We are living the best times to do global business (32:31)

All of us are going through unprecedented transformations; the way we communicate, the way we shop and connect with others have changed. And even when we are longing for life to go back to normal, most likely, many things will not go back to the way they were before the pandemic. The same goes for companies and brands. Reality forced them to change the way they do business, and they had to adapt to people's new habits and preferences. Those who identify the best path of adapting will be the fortunate ones, the ones that will emerge victorious in the post-pandemic world. 


Almost one year after our first interview, Marc Cloosterman is with us again to talk about the future of branding in the world during and after the pandemic. Marc is the Founder and CEO of VIM Group; he is an accomplished speaker and blogger on various global platforms. He is co-chair of the Page working group on Corporate Brand, country chair of Page in Germany and The Netherlands, and ambassador of the working group on Brand Leadership of the European Association of Communication Directors. He is also the author of Future Proof Your Brand. 


In this episode, we talked about Marc's observations on what changes we can expect from consumers in the following years. Since many people have relocated during the pandemic, Marc kindly shared how he thinks cities will re-arrange after the pandemic. We also talked about the future of the real estate industry and how companies are shifting into inbound marketing. Marc shared many interesting insights about interface power and how new platforms adapt to the imminent interface changes. 


Tune in and listen to Episode 37 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe to hear Marc's masterclass about the future of branding in the forthcoming years. 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • What have you learned from working with these various corporations managing your own company in this situation? (3:39)
  • From the experience of growing your business during this time, what are the three things people needed to think about in the following months? (9:58)
  • Do you believe now that communications and PR are more critical in developing a thought leader? (21:04)
  • If you look at the whole space of video and Zoom and how brands brand themselves, what have you learned from this year? (26:06)
  • What other companies would you say did an excellent turnaround? (42:40)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Turning into more virtual connections reduced the distance between people for international companies (7:20)
  • Why companies are making considerable efforts in client retention (15:53)
  • A relatively new position is increasing its relevance, the Chief Digital Officer (25:27)
  • Pros and cons of Clubhouse and why it is so successful (29:30)
  • How the younger generations get informed and consume content (38:12)

]]> #36－Green Hornets on The Moon. The Incredible Story of George M. Low #36－Green Hornets on The Moon. The Incredible Story of George M. Low Tue, 13 Apr 2021 09:00:32 GMT 1:05:20 6074063c1d18210f7a9f0b1f false https://shows.acast.com/moving-beyond-acronyms-with-torund-bryhn/episodes/36-green-hornets-on-the-moon-the-incredible-story-of-george- 6074063c1d18210f7a9f0b1f 5e8da3da5393dcf93bd5f004 36-green-hornets-on-the-moon-the-incredible-story-of-george- with Richard Jurek full 36 The Moving Beyond Your Tribe podcast is now Public Figure Society Podcast


This episode is the second part of the three episodes series about communication and marketing on NASA and the space programs. I had a fantastic conversation with Richard Jurek about George Low, the man who wrote the report on President Kennedy's desk when the administrator was looking for a big project after the Bay of Pigs to turn things around. 


Richard, a marketing and public relations executive, is an author and space historian. He is the co-author of the critically acclaimed "Marketing the Moon: The Selling of the Apollo Lunar Program" (MIT Press, 2014) with David Meerman Scott, and a frequent article contributor to the Smithsonian's Air & Space magazine and website. He is a sought-after commentator and speaker on NASA history, especially concerning its historic public affairs efforts and pioneering brand journalism. He has appeared internationally in media outlets such as Forbes, Slate, NBC News, CBS News, Canadian Public Radio, Australian Public Radio, National Public Radio’s Market Place, BackStory with the History Guys, and The Joy Cardin Show. In addition to being a regular guest on the Science Channel’s NASA: Unexplained Files, he is also a consulting producer on the PBS/American Experience mini-series Chasing The Moon (July, 2019) by award-winning filmmaker Robert Stone. Jurek’s latest space history book is The Ultimate Engineer: The Remarkable Life of NASA’s Visionary Leader George M. Low (University of Nebraska Press, 2019).


During this amazing conversation, Richard describes NASA's engineer's fantastic job, responsible for helping the US spaceflight advance and creating a system to ensure safety and excellence during the entire program. He also talked about Low's understanding of branding and how brilliantly he cut through the noise and made his voice being heard in a place where everyone was talking at the same time. 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • Can you tell us a little bit about George and his life as a refugee during World War II? (2:15)
  • How did he come up with writing this document that inspired John F Kennedy to say "We're going to the Moon within 10 years"? (8:23)
  • If you look at the way he engaged the politicians, what have you learned from that? (35:46)
  • From the time he wrote the report to Kennedy, he's been in every central decision point in the NASA program, right?
  • What did George Low mean by saying, "Avoid the smartest person in the room fallacy"? (50:46)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The Silicon Valley people of the '50s (7:41)
  • The best writers listen before they speak and think before they write (16:21)
  • Visiting contractors at night, uninvited, and making them accountable (22:32)
  • The door that couldn't be opened and its lessons. Don't forget the user, don't forget your audience (48:35)
  • Never delegate your decision-making process (53:47)

Someone said that there are only four types of stories: the doomed city under attack, the traveling of the lost soul, the big adventure searching for a treasure, and the sacrifice of a god-like creature. Therefore, every story ever told is a different version of one of the mentioned above. If we accept this as a truth, what makes a story great is not the characters' adventures but the way they're narrated. 

That means even one of the most known stories in the modern world can captivate and steal the reader's attention.


Today, I chat with David Meerman Scott, marketing strategist, entrepreneur, investor, marketing and growth speaker, bestselling author of 12 books, including "Fanocracy," "The New Rules of Marketing & PR," and "Marketing the Moon." We had a fantastic conversation about the incredible work Public Affairs did marketing the several space programs that led American astronauts to the moon. 


In this episode, we talked about David's book Marketing the Moon. He kindly explained the central role NASA's Public Affairs office played in convincing the American people to finance the space projects. David also mentioned his experience meeting the astronauts that walked the moon surface, how he felt meeting his childhood heroes, and why they happily agreed on being interviewed by him for this book. He described the tactic used by the Public Affairs office to market the space programs, why they were so successful, and the differences between the American and Russian openness to information access. 


Tune in and listen to Episode 35 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe and learn about the fascinating story behind the Apollo program.


Some Questions I Ask:

  • How was it to meet the astronauts? Did it fulfill your childhood dream of seeing them and getting their insights? (3:31)
  • Could you tell us a little bit about the people who were setting up the moon's branding and kind of setting the stage for it? (8:48)
  • What do you think about Disney and all the other components that made the space program interesting before the first launch? (12:32)
  • What do you think about the storytelling around the branding? What were some of the things that you really thought they did effectively? (14:30)
  • What aspect of the marketing was most effective? (25:44)
  • From your perspective, what do you think we could draw from Marketing The Moon that we could take with us today? (29:29)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The spark that generated the writing of Marketing The Moon (2:53)
  • A question asked thousands of times (4:27)
  • Convincing the people to finance a space program (10:09)
  • Astronauts are heroes (14:55)
  • Pushing for live TV on the moon (19:11)
  • Kennedy's smart move with Life Magazine (21:40)
  • What organizations can learn from the Apollo program (30:32)

But once we have that figured out, we need to be brave and walk towards the tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Our faith and courage will give us the strength to put the backpack on and slog into the tunnel, and we will see the light become brighter, and we will eventually emerge on the other side, victorious. 


We must have an open mindset, never say no to new challenges, and, like in today's story, be willing to move beyond our tribes to expand our views. 


Joining me today is Patti Pao - Founder and CEO at Restorsea LLC. She has a BS in Business Administration and Management from the University of California, in Berkeley, and a Master of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School. She has vast experience in Brand Management and sales. Patti worked as Sr. Manager in Avon, Vice President Brand Manager in David's Bridal, and CEO of The Pao Principle LLC. With Restorsea, she created the first efficacious, clinically-tested, naturally-derived anti-aging skincare line, thanks to her curiosity and talent.


In this episode, we talked about when and how she decided she wasn't a good marketer, despite being a very successful one. She shared the incredible story of how a visit to a salmon hatchery in Norway ended up creating her successful skincare line. We spoke about what she learned from luxury goods and the "keep threading the needle" attitude. We also talked about how COVID affected her business and how the pandemic helped her discover she is a wartime leader. 


Tune in and listen to Episode 34 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe and hear Patti's fantastic story about how moving beyond her tribe changed her life completely.


Some Questions I Ask:

  • What took you to Norway? (2:06)
  • Sometimes we assume that you can take the same marketing formula somewhere else. Is that what you were seeing differently? (9:40)
  • You decided to change your route to market, and then your investors asked "What are you doing?" How did you resolve it? (13:09)
  • Tell us a little bit about your products. (17:57)
  • Do people at all order the retail product? Or is it mostly the dermatology project now? (25:19)
  • What do you think is next for Restorsea? (31:17)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Patti's first steps into discovering what she is good at (4:19)
  • Pros and Cons of having celebrities advertising our products (11:34)
  • A huge lesson learned about doctors and sales (14:11)
  • Finding an enzyme in Norway - the start of everything (20:21)
  • You can either sit and cry or look for a solution during a crisis (25:44)
  • Patti's life hack (35:54)

Brown full 33 The Moving Beyond Your Tribe podcast is now Public Figure Society Podcast


When we think about what society needs to thrive and evolve, we all agree on having a financially balanced, just, affordable, healthy, environmentally conscious, sustainable, and prosperous society. Yet, we live in a bipolar, fractured model, impossible to reconcile. Perhaps the words used to describe the facts force us to pick a side of the discussion. We might have to pay attention to who is speaking and their interests before choosing a side to defend. 


Today, joining me is Jared J. Brown, a government affairs consultant and former U.S. Senate aid at Senator Hatch's office. He played a primary role in the 2005 Tax Incentives Act, which promoted advanced vehicle technologies, alternative fuels for vehicles, and alt-fuel filling stations in the United States. Jared also led the 2007 tax credit for plugin and plugin/hybrid vehicles, focused on diversify transportations fuels, making them cheaper and cleaner. He also promoted laws to enhance geothermal and renewable power generation and carbon sequestration technologies. 


In this episode, we talk about the power of language and how it can either divide or help us reach our goals. We also talk about how political groups have been using language to separate American people, despite having the same goals. Jared also explains how he cut through divisive language and brought together opposing parties to enact transformative laws with massive environmental and economic impacts on the American people. 


Tune in and listen to Episode 33 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe to have a first-hand experience of the Senate dynamics and the law-making process. 



Some Questions I Ask:

  • Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got to Senator Hatch's office (1:56)
  • In policy, every political group has been using language to divide the American people, right? (10:10)
  • How do you go beyond language? Because sometimes, people say something that doesn't resonate with what they want (14:44)
  • So you would say the difference between the parties from your interpretation is that mandates are more a tactic that the democrats would use versus republicans using more of an incentive? (20:19)
  • How did you then convince people that were not on your side to come together? (33:21)
  • What did you learn from this process? (43:50)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Jared's realization about gatekeepers and policy (6:06)
  • Language creates good and bad guys (9:59)
  • The making of the 2005 Tax Incentive Act (15:09)
  • Different ways of being a policymaker (19:06)
  • The AADD principle (25:51)
  • Focusing on the coincidences rather than the differences to achieve goals (45:37)

The Warrior That Became Invincible After Surrendering To Love


We live in a society that is all about victory and success; there is no space for failure, needless to say, for surrender. We put ourselves in extreme situations seeking validation from external means, which could be a dangerous path to walk. CEOs and leaders have a hard time surrendering and expressing their weaknesses, which is essential for authentic power. 


Joining me today is Maura Barclay; she is an intuitive leadership consultant and Neuro Facilitation Practitioner. She presented her coaching programs based on intuitive empowerment for more than two decades for federal agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and the US military. She is the author of the inspiring book, Unbreakable Women, where she talks about compassionate self-defense and empowerment and explores the sour subject of violence against women with kindness and empathy.


In this episode, we talk about the endless trip for external validation, male policing, creating a safe psychological space where leaders can express their weaknesses, letting love lead us, being humbled by life, and much more. Tune in and listen to Episode 32 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe, and know the wholesome story of Maura, perhaps the closer someone can get to be a real superhero.


Some Questions I Ask:

  • Could you give us a little intro on what it is to be a soulful leader? (1:50)
  • When working with CEOs, what is the most significant barrier that they have to break through? (3:44)
  • When you say feeding the workers, it's more being provided the company's mission and the values, right? (5:39)
  • How do you feed the CEOs to be what they're supposed to be like? (8:07)
  • Who is the woman behind the soulful leader? (11:54)
  • When you work with male CEOs, is there openness for help from a woman? (22:35)
  • How do you help CEOs to open up so that they can be better leaders? (24:39)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • An ounce of CEO language is worth a pound of HR (4:06)
  • Conflicts with managers are the main reason why people leaves companies (6:25)
  • How our beliefs mine our behavior (8:56)
  • The devastating effects of male policing on male CEOs (10:25)
  • Maura's journey for validation (12:20)
  • The difference we can make when we are connected with our soul (24:50)
  • Our body is always present; it is our mind that is in the Bahamas (35:25)

My guest today is one with a very insightful set of thoughts to share.

If you’re interested in learning more, then I encourage you to tune in to Episode 28 of the Moving Beyond Your Tribe podcast! 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • Could you tell us a little bit about Vibravision? (1:39)
  • How did you persuade the Indonesian people to train someone outside of their own culture? (10:34)
  • How were you able to bridge the gap between Indonesians and Westerns in a way that alleviated existing suspicion? (11:34)
  • What did you do to become so intuitive? (15:40)
  • What does success look like in your practice & How do you approach opening the multi-sensory parts of your brain? (20:58)
  • How long did it take you to complete your training and achieve the five points of your practice? (22:32)
  • What makes someone naturally gifted in this practice? (27:26)
  • What is your relationship with the Indonesian people after adapting their culture to your own practice? (38:49)
  • What are the three things you’ve learned through immersing yourself in Indonesian culture? (42:34)
  • What is one life hack that you can share with my listeners? (46:52)


In This Episode You Will Learn:

  • Nate’s first exposure to Indonesian Martial Arts & How the experience linked to his need to serve the blind community (3:37)

Small towns are often filled with big hearts. 


Joining me on the podcast today is Sadie Swier, Community Outreach Coordinator for ‘Downtown Sioux Falls’, a non-profit focused on the economic expansion and fiscal growth of the area. Throughout the years, Sioux Falls has been home to dozens of successful community-oriented programs and events which have enriched the city and created an overwhelmingly inviting and friendly culture for all who come to visit.  


Most recently, the town has caught the attention of the multi-billion dollar company ‘Amazon’ and has been a huge selling point for organizations due to its thriving and diverse atmosphere. It’s a telling sign that by investing in small businesses and creating a sense of collaboration amongst people, we will start to see really positive results on every side and can expect to see greater and more prominent involvement from larger corporations. 


The work that Sadie and others like her are doing within Sioux Falls is so vital to keeping the passion and spirit of this community alive. Through events such as ‘Sculpture Walk’, ‘River Fest’, ‘Parade of Lights’ and so many others, the town has developed a greater appreciation for cultural and artistic endeavors and has been exposed to so many important and educational experiences.

The city of Sioux Falls has taught me so much during my time here. Joining me today to share the impact of his work as a sculptor and Founder of the ‘Sculpture Walk’, is Jim Clark! Jim spent his early years working as a banker in Sioux Falls and eventually moved into art and sculpting as a creative and whimsical outlet, bringing joy to so many living in the community. 


What was most important to Jim when sharing his creations, was the necessity he had to lift the mood of those within Sioux Falls. He believed the area was too beautiful to deprive it of public art and managed to band the town together, spearheading the campaign to elevate the already existing beauty that the town possessed.


If you’re interested to hear more about Jim’s personal backstory, as well as his commitment to the installation, the ‘Sculpture Walk’, then tune in to Episode 22 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe!

The city of Sioux Falls has taught me so much during my time here. Joining me today to share the impact of his work as a sculptor and Founder of the ‘Sculpture Walk’, is Jim Clark! Jim spent his early years working as a banker in Sioux Falls and eventually moved into art and sculpting as a creative and whimsical outlet, bringing joy to so many living in the community. 


What was most important to Jim when sharing his creations, was the necessity he had to lift the mood of those within Sioux Falls. He believed the area was too beautiful to deprive it of public art and managed to band the town together, spearheading the campaign to elevate the already existing beauty that the town possessed.


If you’re interested to hear more about Jim’s personal backstory, as well as his commitment to the installation, the ‘Sculpture Walk’, then tune in to Episode 22 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe!

The conversation around marijuana and its use within medical contexts has been ongoing for so many years now, but are we any closer to finding a middle ground? 


For many states across the US, the legalisation of medicinal and recreational cannabis has been the norm for some time, but for others it’s an ever evolving and complex issue that has landed many in some awful situations. An increasing number of unjust incarcerations have taken place as a result of racial profiling and outdated prohibition laws, making the fight for fairer practices on a Federal scale all the more important.    


In today’s episode I’m joined by Livi McKay, Co-founder at ‘Natural Alternatives Now’ and passionate Cannabis Activist! Through her own experiences with chronic seizures, Livi had to reframe the way she thought about medicinal marijuana and unlearn many of her own misconceptions surrounding the substance. We’ll be discussing how the use of medical marijuana helped her personally, the historical contexts to some of the drug’s negative connotations, and how others have responded to Livi’s story.   


To hear more, tune in to Episode 18 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe! 


Some Questions I Ask:


  • Why is the legalisation of free medical cannabis so important to you? (3:07)
  • What did alternative medicine teach you about broaching the subject with others? (7:20)
  • What has telling others about your medicinal use of cannabis taught you about communication? (9:51)
  • Could you reflect on how the vernacular surrounding marijuana has evolved? (13:12)
  • Do you think the medical marijuana industry has been successful in reframing the message surrounding the substance? (15:07)
  • What are you and your team doing to help Sean and Eboni and similar unjust cannabis cases? (20:53)
  • What is it that makes so many people want to get behind this movement? (25:35)
  • What have you learned about yourself throughout all of this? (29:53)


In This Episode You Will Learn:


  • Some background on Livi McKay & The field of Cannabis Research during Covid-19 (0:51)
  • What a ‘Grand Mal Seizure’ is (6:50)
  • What Southerners’ attitudes are towards opioids and medicinal substances (9:19)
  • The etymology of marijuana & Its historic connection to prohibition (11:15)
  • Why ‘cannabis’ is more accurate to medicinal terminology (16:02)
  • The story of Sean and Eboni Warsley & Why fair Federal Cannabis laws are so important (18:00)
  • Why the issue surrounding the legalisation of medical marijuana is such a unifier for every community (23:33)

Conversations surrounding racism and the systemic injustices that minority groups face each and every day are becoming more prevalent as the days pass. With the undeniable evidence of police brutality that has been brought to the forefront this year and in many before it, the discourse we have with each other is beginning to change, in many ways, for the better. 


Continuing on from my insightful discussion with Myrtle Jones, today I sit down with Michaëlle Gocko, an expert in the field of Strategy Marketing and Entrepreneurship and Founder of ‘Rise Up Conseils’. Through her work, she has given opportunities to French Africans across the country to carve out their own space within education and their chosen fields, bridging the gap that many people in those communities face when seeking out job prospects. 


It’s imperative that we create a dialogue around this topic, particularly as the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement has gained more and more traction over the past few months, imploring individuals to reflect and stand up for what’s right. In this episode, we will dive into these issues, as well as explore the importance of having a strong mindset and holding a willingness to listen to other’s points of view.

  • Can you recall the racism you experienced first hand in University? (4:51)
  • Could you expand on the inspiration behind ‘Rise Up Conseils’ & What the company’s work consists of? (12:52)
  • How do you incorporate hope into your mindset when you are battling racism that is systematic? (17:11)
  • What are your thoughts on how we can create an open dialogue on race and be able to participate in conversations that feel initially uncomfortable? (19:51)
  • How can we check our ego at the door when it comes to listening to each other? (28:28)
  • What words can we use to act as better bridge builders? (38:39)


In This Episode You Will Learn:

  • The culmination of ‘Rise Up Conseils’ & The contrast of that journey compared to Michaëlle’s early years in business school (6:36)
  • The multiple layers to Michaëlle’s cultural background & How that influenced the way she felt over her identity (8:55)
  • What led Michaëlle to create ‘Rise Up Conseils’ (10:07)
  • Michaëlle’s perspective on how we can bridge the gap between each other’s personal biases (24:18)
  • How the discussions around racism in the media differ within France and the U.S & What measuring our goals and taking social action looks like (31:54)

Like in any business, being a successful hairdresser entails more than just mastering the skills. It requires having great communication skills and knowing how to create meaningful relationships with your clients.


In today’s episode, I wanted to learn more about the secrets of this industry and I invited Keith Russell to share some behind-the-scene aspects of his work. I believe the way he approaches clients and keeps them loyal is the recipe for anyone’s success and his message is strong and clear when it comes to targeting the right people for his needs.


We discuss Keith’s philosophies regarding pricing, how to convince your clients what’s best for them and we also deep our toes into the importance of leaving pride aside and being humble enough to admit that every business needs help until it gets traction.


Keith believes there’s nothing social in social media, so listen to Episode 06 of Moving Beyond Acronyms, to find out how he managed to have a two-months waiting list without marketing and advertising his business online.


Some questions I ask:

  • Could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Because you’ve been a hairdresser for quite a while. (04:21)
  • What kind of women do you like working with? (12:33)
  • What’s your philosophy on the price point you set for your services? (21:03)
  • What is the concept of your business? (27:59)
  • How do you shift someone's mind if they come in with something that's just not fitting their face, not fitting their lifestyle? (38:45)
  • How do you ask for help for your business, without sounding desperate? (48:13)
  • What would be the major takeaway for someone that's starting out? (57:46)


In this episode, you will learn:

  • What it takes to be a good hairdresser, in Keith’s view. (06:46)
  • How Keith chooses his clientele and approaches them. (09:21)
  • The importance of asking your clients to refer your business, especially when you’re at the beginning. (16:55)
  • The importance of setting a standard for your business & Why giving discounts does not benefit in the long run. (18:25)
  • The reason why Keith doesn’t accept tips. (23:53)
  • Why Keith doesn’t use social media. (28:32)
  • Why Keith believes that being on platforms that offer ratings to your business is the worst thing you can do. (30:13)
  • How Keith builds new clientele. (44:14)
  • How Keith views success, in general. (60:03)

Communicating the right message for our targeted audience can be hard sometimes because more often than not it requires simplifying complex topics, in order to be understood by non-expert people. Breaking down concepts and making them accessible is one of the key tips for marketers and organizations to reach and engage their clients, thus getting better results for their business.


In today’s episode, I am joined by Zontee Hou - a passionate advisor and teacher of communications - who shares bits of her vast knowledge on how to better translate our messages with ease and bridge the gap between our company and our desired customers/clients.


Zontee is the founder of Brooklyn-based consultancy Media Volery, and head of strategy for the respected consultancy, Convince & Convert, led by Jay Baer. She brings a unique blend of strategic, academic, and practical thinking to her speaking, workshops, and consulting work. As a marketing consultant, speaker, and professor, she not only empowers her audiences and clients with actionable advice, but she also teaches them the skills they need to become effective communicators.


Listen to Episode 05 of Moving Beyond Acronyms, to learn how to make the complex accessible, how to choose the right platforms to promote your brand, and key tips on how to use content marketing to build close relationships with your audience.


Some questions I ask:

  • When you worked on some of the clients where you have made the complex accessible, have you seen resistance? And how have you taken them on that journey? (16:46)
  • Why do you think we haven’t decided on a final name for this pandemic, yet? And what do you think history’s actually going to be calling it? (26:10)
  • How do you communicate who you are and what you do to the folks you’re selling your services to? (32:49)
  • What would you say is the key thing with content marketing? (38:21)
  • When you look at all the platforms that are out there now, what do you think is the one that we should be keeping our eye on? (45:31)
  • What word, commercial or marketing campaign either influenced you or you really liked? (53:05)


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How to turn complex topics into easy-to-understand messages. (03:46)
  • The difference between simplicity and accessibility, when it comes to translating a message so that it can be understood by the targeted audience. (09:52)
  • One of the reasons why TED talks are powerful. (12:53)
  • How Zontee and the team she was part of, managed to attract the right audience to a knitting company. (18:54)
  • How bringing people together to do something, creates a sense of camaraderie that empowers people to do more. (23:20)
  • The importance of letting people see the bigger picture, when you’re trying to communicate a message. (31:15)
  • The difference between marketing and sales. (37:10)
  • Marketing is a long-term investment that requires commitment and consistency. (44:17)
  • Why Sococo is a great platform that simplifies the lives of distributed teams (50:30)

Welcome to the last part of the three-episode series on Kanab. You’ve so far joined me on a fascinating journey of discovering this amazing small town that really knows how to care for its community. In the first part of the series, I talked to Travis about the hotels he manages, how they are designed to match every personality of their visitors, and what he does to get his message out there. In the second part, Camille and Janette took us on a tour and shared with us Kanab’s Unspoiled Magic and all its hidden gems that people are so eager to find.   


With each day that goes by, I’m more and more impressed by these people and how they’ve managed to magically transform Kanab into one of the most welcoming and compassionate cities, and, at the same time maintaining their characteristic uniqueness. As my guest today mentioned several times throughout the episode, it takes a community to create magic, and the locals are the ones that make Kanab special.



In this episode, I wanted to bring into the spotlight one of the top-rated restaurants in the area – Sego Restaurant. It has some amazing, eclectic dishes and elite tastes and flavors from all over the world that really make you feel you’re in a first-class restaurant, despite their reasonable prices. The owner of Sego, Elizabeth Foster, considers that food is about connecting places, flavors, and people - and she and her husband, Shon, constantly come up with new ways to bring back beautiful memories when people taste their food.


Elizabeth joins me today to share how Sego managed to not only survive but thrive during the pandemic, and what is the main message that grew their online community through Facebook and Instagram. Listen to Episode 03 of Moving Beyond Acronyms to find out how these people create magic every step of the way. It’s not as simple as you’d say Abrakanabra, but their message is pure and people-oriented.


Some questions I ask:

  • Tell us a little bit about yourself and how did you get to Kanab? (03:34)
  • When did the restaurant business start? (06:01)
  • How did you go from Rewind Diner to such a high-end restaurant such as Sego? (07:40)
  • You have some amazing dishes. How did you come up with these? (12:13)
  • What would you say is the one word about Kanab?
  • What has surprised you most with this whole process of you engaging people through Facebook? (32:32)


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How food is meant to be an experience that ties you to memories. (09:22)
  • The reason why Sego Restaurant doesn’t have online ordering. (11:20)
  • How they have managed to thrive during COVID-19, when most of the restaurants have closed their doors. (13:30)
  • The story of “The Twister” desert – a delicious dish that brings back so many memories for the locals. (15:47)
  • How all the people in Kanab have managed to create a strong and supportive community. (17:11)
  • The impact Sego’s presence on Facebook has had on the community and on the restaurant itself & what Elizabeth focuses on when she posts. (21:59)
  • How the snowball effect of helping each other influences Kanab’s growth. (25:55)
  • The overall message that Elizabeth uses to connect with the entire community they’ve created around Sego. (30:23)

As I mentioned in the first episode, I am temporarily living in Kanab while waiting for the lockdown of COVID-19 to end. So far, I have gotten the chance to meet some wonderful people here and visit the attractions around and I totally fell in love with this little town that is one of the fastest-growing ones in the US.


Kanab really differentiates itself from all the surrounding towns in Southern Utah. It’s a town that’s eclectic, it’s got an art gallery, it’s sophisticated, and it has incredible food. When I was looking for what has really defined this town, I found three people that I think have really been the leaders in the community and have helped define Kanab’s personality.


In today’s episode, I’m talking to the first of these three people, Travis Mitchell – the founder and director of Canyons Collection, which is a collection of four different properties with four different moods: Canyons Boutique Hotel (Classic Elegance); Canyons Lodge (Rustic Chic); Quail Park Lodge (Retro Cool); The Flagstone, which is a boutique inn & suites.



Listen to Episode 02 of Moving Beyond Acronyms, to find out how Kanab has evolved in the past years since Travis moved here, why you should come and visit this wonderful city and also, what Travis does to communicate his message and his vision regarding the four properties he’s managing.


Some questions I ask:

  • Tell us a little bit about yourself, and how did you get into the hotel business? (06:07)
  • What would you say has been the success factor of actually people still coming here in the midst of COVID-19? (12:09)
  • What has surprised you about the people that come to your properties? (20:12)
  • When did you guys start thinking about the Balloon Festival, the Film Festival – and was it like a community thing or who came up with them? (25:18)
  • How did you grow the business? (27:06)
  • What have you learned from this whole experience? (30:14)
  • What’s your advice for someone that’s trying to communicate a message or something that they have in their heart? (35:48)
  • What is your favorite word? Or what is your favorite commercial? (36:54)


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How Kanab was like a few years ago. (10:00)
  • About the four properties included in the Canyons Collection. (15:14)
  • How the properties bring together people from different groups that bond and end up being friends. (16:45)
  • About the ways Kanab is being promoted, locally. (21:51)
  • A business strategy that didn’t work for Travis. (30:36)
  • How Travis managed to communicate his message and his vision to his employees. (33:35)
