Telling your story, or think of it as getting to the heart of your message, is a critical component to create a thriving business.
Jocelyn Carbonara shares how anyone can write a book or tell a story but those who do a few specific things see more action taken from what they wrote or share.
We discuss brands, books, life and some powerful questions she asks prospective clients before she takes on a new project. One of my favorites? “How do you not want to sound?” Not a question I would have ever thought to ask myself before I started writing.

Olympic athletes win sometimes by 1/100 of a second. They rebound from what could be catastrophic and career ending injuries to come back and win Gold. Top athletes seem to be able to tune out mind chatter and keep their focus on the end game. So how can the average person do that too?
By increasing your mental endurance.
Dr. Jay Galea works with major sports teams, Olympic, collegiate and high school athletes and sports executives who are recovering from injuries or just want to take their physical and mental game to the next level. When I asked him how is the mental endurance that top athletes have to maintain different than the average person’s his answer may surprise you.
Don’t miss his answer or his tips on how you can increase your mental endurance.
This was one of the most eye-opening, perception shifting interviews I have done in a long time. I felt like my mind was blown each time Jay Galea spoke. I’ve already shifted a few mental things and have felt mentally stronger since I recorded the interview.
Jason Galea Ph.D is HeadSET Sports Head of Operations and Product Development and works to elite athletes and sports executives through sports psychology services. He is a consultant for NCAA Division-I athletic programs, US Olympic coaches, and various professional teams. He also is the Performance Consultant Director – Team Jelly Belly Racing, the San Diego Saints Hockey Director & USA Hockey C.E.P. Instructor, the Former Director of Sport Performance at Saint Katherine College and a former University athlete.

But what if that agent is the only one who was Black?
The erupting racial tensions of today mirror the volatile civil rights era in the 1960s. Edwin R. Woodriffe walked a fine line between the honor, respect, and sacrifice of his own people and the job that he loved… And both worlds came at a life-changing cost to him and to his family.
Author Lee Woodriffe was five years old when her father became the only African American FBI Special Agent to be killed in the line of duty. On January 8, 1969, an escaped fugitive robbed a Maryland bank and within just one hour, two FBI agents were dead. The event, at that time, would inspire the most massive manhunt in the history of the nation’s capital.
Lee Woodriffe shares how she was able to finally write this book, how it took a village to gather the details how the times then and now have many parallels and what it took to have her dad remembered. If you would like to purchase the book Lee shares a special offer to get an autographed hardcover copy for the same price as a paperback.
Lee Woodriffe doesn’t fit into any one kind of box. To some, the road taken to become an author makes no sense, yet makes perfect sense. Maybe that’s the classic Libra in her; always dueling sides for the most harmonious outcome. One thing is true, every road prepared her to become a novelist.
Finding her love of writing as a journalism major at Point Park University, spending hours developing her broadcasting voice at WAMO, SBN, WEEP and WDSY radio stations in Pittsburgh. Or possibly the on-air television experience she gained as a travel analyst in Washington, DC, or the decades spent honing her craft as a stage, film, and television actress. It may have been through the hard knocks experience of running a business and the discipline needed to see it grow for over 10 years. It might be all, or it may be a simpler truth: She just wanted to tell her father’s story.
Lee Woodriffe is a risk taker. She thrives on exploration and succeeding in tasks that others say are impossible. After all, what gives Lee the chops to write a book?
Maybe the same courage that has led her to sky dive, scuba dive, white water raft, jump Herkies on the skywalk at the Grand Canyon, sand dune in open buggies in the middle east or ride on an elephant’s neck in the jungles of Thailand. She does that which she thinks she can’t and makes it reality.
It all makes for a good story, and that’s how Lee wants it. She just wants to tell a story. And when it’s time to cuddle, her Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, Chili, is always close by.

Tom Antion has been making money on the Internet for over two decades creating products and websites from his hobbies and interests and other people’s interests. As he says, the money keeps rolling in even while he is sleeping. He has helped many achieve the same thing for themselves and their families.
I’ve known Tom Antion for close to a decade and referred many to him who are using his techniques to make money and make a difference with their message. He is the real deal and one of the most authenticate people I know.
On this episode Tom shares how to make your hobbies and family interests tax deductible, how to hire young savvy people to help you and the exact methods you can use to make money with knowledge you have or can readily get.
