“What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create.”

-Buddha

Genuine and sustainable (POSITIVE) impact, shall that please be the goal for everyone in this world for come 2021!?! Today I sit down with entrepreneur and author, Andrew Kap. We discuss many things that most of us have contemplated in 2020- what am I doing? Am I happy? What do I really want? Where can I improve in my life? Etc. The upside of 2020 is that we have had this time to contemplate these things… while uncomfortable, it’s a real awakening that life is short, time is finite, and we should be doing what we authentically want to be doing. If we are individually more satisfied, happier, collectively the world will be as well. The law of attraction is REAL. Meaning, if you get your mind right, your intentions and goals clear, the things you oh so desire will come to fruition via your own attraction. Andrew’s book, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need to Read”, gets right to it. Andrew shares his journey, his “why”, and his own clear minded goals with the base point genuine and sustainable impact- for the long term. Andrew’s goals, 1 million books sold, 1 million YouTube subscribers, are the vehicles that allow him to share his gospel on how to create the life you want to be living, one thought at a time. His message is to the point… no need to watch hours of The Secret… it’s all right here, in concise, actionable steps. #streamlineprocess #yourwelcome . Enjoy and keep a look out for Andrew’s next moves, he is shaking thing up for the better! Cheers!

Andre Kap:

Andrew Kap holds one goal above all others through his various projects: Genuine and Sustainable Impact. He often focuses on topics that many find overwhelming, and he then condenses them into actionable, more consumable content. His latest offering, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” offers readers a never-before-seen understanding of then topic — that no other “LOA” book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of finally addressing WHY people who get excited about trying it still can’t manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day. The book has enjoyed continued success, including hundreds of 5-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it. Andrew is currently based in New York, where he publishes new content daily.

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let out true selves be seen.”  

-Brene Brown

Getting BACK to our authentic selves! If you haven’t had to check in with yourself and ask yourself why you got stated in something? What you wanted to do as a kid? Where is the passion that you once had for that one thing?… then you probably should. We all lose our “why” at one point in the game. Meaning, that we had goals and agendas and hopes and dreams AND then life happens. You take the job to pay for the family, you move to marry the one true love, you sacrifice some piece of your authenticity along the way because you think that you have to. That is when you start to feel out of alignment and something just isn’t right. From there, everything shifts. Like athletes, as soon as you’re injured, it throws everything else off as well. Not all is a loss however, we just need to consistently check back in and be honest with ourselves so we can show up honest in the world. You can sacrifice for things AND keep your true, authentic core values at the forefront of your life, you just need to be intentional and aware. The only way to reach self-actualization aka completely at peace and happy with ourselves is to live an authentic life. Today I welcome Steve Kolander to the T&T mic- he is the perfect person to share an incredible example of living intentionally and athletically. Steve shares his journey as a creative, a store teller, entering the music business chasing a dream only to lose his voice literally while battling cancer to literally regaining it through healing, but FINDING it through his son. Steve chases the dream, does the responsible life thing, and now is doing both… as we all can. Now is the time to dive back into what we actually want to be doing, one of the few things we can control. The world will be a better place if we all made ourselves happier, authentically, first… then we can get to everything else:)

Highlights

Questioning a better way. Breakdown, breakthrough. Chasing the dream, losing it, getting back to it- all things right on time. Experience and the share shifting of our wants, needs goals, dreams. Turmeric and tequila. Health, wealth, and true happiness. The music business then and now. Getting back to who we were when we were kids. Famous people, influencers, real heroes. Building a life over building a living. Knowing it’s 2020 and anything is possible.

Steve Kolander:

Steve Kolander (born November 15, 1961, in Lake Charles, Louisiana) is an American country music artist. He debuted in 1994 with the release of his self-titled album on River North Records. It produced two singles on the Hot Country Songs charts. A second album for River North, Pieces of a Puzzle, was released in 1996, followed by the independently released Light to Dark in 2007.

Sticky Story Inc, Steve Kolander’s Creative Agency:

One day, tens of thousands of years ago, man saw a reflection of himself in a lake and pronounced, “I am.” In the very next moment he realized, “And one day I will not be.” And from that moment on, man has created a story about why he is here and what his purpose is in life. 

Businesses are actually no different. What is our identity and why do we exist in this world? We need to know why we exist so we can share that core value with others. And when our audience recognizes that they share the same core belief, a relationship is born. And that is how our businesses grow in customers and revenue. It’s that simple. Or is it?

Watch the videos to see how the core belief is the subtext to each brand story.

Badassery, yes, it’s actually a word and the formal definition is: behavior, characteristics, or actions regarded as formidably impressive. Aka bad ass. Today I welcome Jen Josey to the T&T mic and we cover a lot! Jen started her journey in teaching only to realize that she didn’t like children. Minor detail:). She jumped to the corporate ship just long enough to realize that also was not a fit, so she jumped again. This time to real estate, eventually starting 2 companies, one investing group, both led by the end game of all-around POSITIVE IMPACT. You can do business and do good in the world at the same time… who knew?! Jen shares her trails, tribulations, and successes. She is a true student of the life game and NEVER stops learning. She has taken big risks and received even bigger rewards because of it. She discusses the importance of support in your life, DOGS, and caring about other people. This is an awesome cast for anyone wanting to add more heart into their business and make the world a better place and own your own badassery along the way. Listen in, if you can handle it:) Thanks Jen, you’re an inspiration to varsity humans everywhere. Cheers!

Jen Josey:

My first passion in life was teaching middle school music.  I did this for 16 years until I woke up one day and realized I hated children.  I wanted out so desperately that I chose an equally abusive industry and became a health insurance agent.  I quickly climbed the corporate ladder for the next 5 years only to find I was halfway up the wrong ladder. 

Forty(ish) and unhappy in my work life, I knew I needed a change.

In April of 2017, my husband and I took a leap of faith and began Jolific Homes, our real estate investment business.  We had amazing coaches along the way.  I was able to quit Corporate America by the end of that year.  My husband and I then created Jolific Properties as we built our rental portfolio.  Most recently, we opened our own brokerage, The Acorn Agency which is an investor-friendly agency for realtors.

I met amazing people throughout my journey with specific talents who taught me how to improve certain aspects of our business.  As my knowledge from experiences grew, I found my passion reignite when I too, shared my talents.  I wanted to create a platform where investors could share these superpowers within a network, sprinkled with a little bit of accountability, thus building confidence and credibility.  I still have MUCH to learn so I created REIGN: Real Estate Investor Growth Network.  It’s a Virtual Mastermind with an interactive format because one person is never as smart as all the people in the room…or Zoom call…in our case.

Josh Cary:

Co-Founder of PodMAX, Host of The Hidden Entrepreneur Show and On Air Brands LIVE!

Business coach, podcast host, speaker, digital media and creative consultant, and entrepreneur.

Josh Cary spent 40 years in hiding! That’s right. He was hiding every aspect of himself and showing up with a ‘mask’ on in all areas of life trying to gain the approval of everyone else.

At 19, he changed his name and entered into, what would become, a 15-year career as a professional actor and filmmaker. The applause and external accolades didn’t completely heal his feelings of anxiety and insecurities and he found himself more isolated than ever.

Today, Josh is the co-founder of PodMAX (an On Air Brands company), a podcast production and media company that provides training and events catered to entrepreneurs who have a meaningful message to share.

Josh is also an accomplished podcast host of two shows with over 200 combined episodes and he’s a business coach to entrepreneurs who are ready, willing, and able to say “F That NOISE!”

Today, Josh Cary is a podcast host and business coach to entrepreneurs who are ready, willing, and able to say “F That NOISE!”

“F That NOISE” in their head that’s been acting as the comfortable excuse for remaining where they are.

As a digital media and creative consultant, Josh has the uncanny ability to bring the human side out of each person. Whether it’s as a guest on his show or working directly together, you quickly feel consumed by his unique natural energy, bright outlook and creative mind.

He is also a proud father and credits his adoring two young children with helping him to turn things around and embrace the mortality of life.

Josh helps his clients ‘unmask’ themselves by leading them through poignant, important, and direct questions. This approach results in a profound and honest experience that reveals aspects, desires, and philosophies within you that have been dormant for years.

On his podcast, The Hidden Entrepreneur, Josh speaks with successful entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners who were also once in the darkest of hiding places so you may rediscover your world, connect beautifully with others, and excel in all you set out to do. The podcast has been downloaded in dozens of countries.

Josh can discuss:

F That Noise! The 5-step process to unmasking yourself and no longer fearing YOU. It’s much more than just an exclamation. It became the 5-part detailed process (N.O.I.S.E.) for allowing himself to accept the fear and finally adjust the score (Fear: Zero. You: Won.)

Get Ready, Willing, and Able: In order to make any move in life, you must be ready, willing and able to do so.  We typically know what we want, but then subconsciously prevent our achievement by allowing one of these three modes to get in the way.  Josh unravels each part in such a way that allows you to be victorious.

Accept the Awkward. Finding the comfortability within the awkward. We are all awkward in our unique and brilliant ways. This is what makes us human. Too often, we will choose to shy away from that feeling and instead alter it to give in to our fear.

Finding Your Voice. Deep down, you already know what you want to be doing. You don’t need permission. You need action. No matter your age, life is almost over. That’s the greatest news you’ll hear all day!
