“We all grow tired eventually; it happens to everyone. Even the sun, at the close of the year, is no longer a morning person.”

― Joyce Rachelle

I’m so excited to be with you all once again on our weekly digital meetup… AND I’m so f-ing TIRED. It’s such a blessing to be in 2021 and back to the swing of things, but it’s also tough to manage the 0-100 pace! On this cast, it’s just you and I unpacking my hectic day that brought me to a few tears of frustration, but more importantly my 4-step process to organize the chaos and alleviate the overwhelm. I considered taking a week off of the cast, but then I knew if this is coming up in my world, someone else likely needs to hear it. I hope these 4 steps can take you back to a place of peace and create some space between you and your problems at hand. Usually the solution reveals itself if we can create that space and take a deep breath (and make a to-do list). It’s a quick one, enjoy and then get back to relaxing… man, that T&T balance never really gets any easier

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”

–Steve Maraboli

2021 is all about RESILIENCE! And there is no better person to come on the T&T mic to share her epic journey of consistent resilience than Amber Fuhrman! Amber is Attorney, practicing Criminal Defense and Immigration Law, as well as a sought-out speaker, success coach, and fellow podcaster, hosting her show,  More Than Corporate. Amber shares her journey of breaking down and breaking through and we jump right into the deep with heavy, but relevant conversation around immigration and the law. Ambers is no stranger to approaching difficult situations that often times don’t have a straight forward solution. Maintaining your cool and keeping a balanced perspective is absolutely a skill set. If you are in a space where you are seeking answers or wondering how you’re going to approach a difficult situation, this is the cast for you! Amber started from a place of avoidance because of loss and then found her way through purpose and inspiration. We can all be reminded again and again that the one thing we do have control of is our reaction. Get inspired to level up with Ambers good words. We need the varsity humans on the front lines come 2022… the training starts now. Here’s to personal responsibly in effort to inspire collective positive (worldly) growth, cheers.

Amber Fuhriman is an attorney, speaker, success architect, and podcaster. She is the Owner and Attorney at Fuhriman Law, a Law Firm she operates in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amber practices Criminal Defense and Immigration Law. She graduated from Law School in Michigan and immediately moved to Vegas to being her career.

Throughout her educational and professional career, Amber always thought there would be a moment where everything would fall into place, as she calls it, her “I’ll be happy when moment.”

When that moment never came, Amber started to realize her entire identity had been tied up in being an attorney and chasing accomplishments to fill a void that accomplishments could never fill. Amber’s road to becoming a success architect began in 2016 when she dug into personal development. Since 2016, Amber has pushed the boundaries of her self-imposed physical and mental limitations, living outside her comfort zone as much as possible and learning about how the mind works and how our limiting beliefs affect our success.

In 2020, Amber became a Certified Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a Certified Master Practitioner in Integrated Timeline Techniques. She is also a Success Mastery Academy Certified Coach. Now, in addition to practicing law, Amber is a Success Architect! She works with “serial accomplishers” like her former self to help them gain clarity what they actually want, define what their best life looks like and helps them get out of their comfort zone to achieve their dreams. Amber believes that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone physically helps challenge your mental limitations of what you can accomplish professionally. She uses her experiences with loss, grief, academic and professional success, and physical challenges including a 24 hour endurance obstacle course race to help her clients get out of their own way and achieve their highest level of success.

“Sound is what truly convinces the mind is in a place, in other words hearing is believing.”

-Jesse Schell, The Art of Game Design

I am so excited to welcome Jodi Krangle to the T&T Mic! If you listened to the very early T&T episodes, you know audio has been one of my biggest challenges. I have grown in the audio (all podcasting equipment) space, BUT Jodi is a true pro! In addition to being an audio master in all things podcasting, she has been a voice over actor since 2007 and has worked with many of the major big household brands that we use every day including Dell, BOSE, HGTV, and Kraft. Jodi shares her journey with us and an even more in-depth conversation around audio/sound and how it impacts our brains and everyday decision making (hence she is in demand for these big brands!). Hearing is often an overlooked sense as far as its impact on all the other senses. If you are in the biz you know the volume of music can impact retails sales in a retail store, certain sounds can cause negative and positive triggers, and so much more! From music to science, we cover it all on this one. And yes, Jodi’s mic sounds awesome on this cast haha, #goals ! Enjoy this conversation, an exciting new angle to consider if you are starting a biz, marketing a biz, or just want to know more about how you personally “digest” sound and audio.

Highlights:

Computers and the internet before they were a thing. Voice over acting, how to get in and how to make it. The importance of sounds and how it impacts the other senses. Marketing in 2021. Being a conscious consumer. Overcoming challenges and finding your niche path. Graceful Disruption. Club House and building community.

“Humanizing your brand is a requirement, not an option, if you want to survive in business today.”

– Pam Moore, @mktgNutz

You hear me saw this a lot, humanize the brand/company… even human. Aka let the truth and let your natural competitive edges shine! The world (consumer) wants the authentic truth, not the filtered, old school (fake) polished version we all grew up with. Even still, this is a pretty new concept, hence I was excited to welcome Todd Giannattasio to the T&T mic on the eve(ish) of his company’s 10-year anniversary. Todd is a veteran marketing expert who has been featured in Entrepreneur Mag, Forbes, and the Huff Post for his proven system to grow brands. He has been on the front lines of the trend setting tip from day 1- even being featured in Seventeen Magazine as a young boy recognized for telling the truth very early on (he shares the whole story in this convo). Todd shares his entrepreneurial journey, how he and his companies have evolved, and what he is looking forward to as an entrepreneur in the coming years.  Innovation and evolution are the names of the game and Todd has mastered both. This is an awesome convo for all business humans (entrepreneur or corporate) and for anyone questioning a better
