  • 100. MVP: How To Acknowledge We've Been Riding the Bike On Our Own & Reduce Overwhelm

    35:49
    Every time we are about to take a big step, and we question ourselves if we are on the right track or making the right choice, where does that voice come from? Is it fear of failure? Is it self-doubt, our gut waving at us, trying to stop us from making a mistake, or is it just us getting in our way? In this MVP episode, I'm joined by Sophie Weill to identify where this voice comes from, how to avoid falling into a plateau in our personal and professional growth, determine if we are making decisions out of fear or love, and identify self-doubt's red flags.Together, we discuss the importance of recognizing the authority and autonomy over our life choices and the need to stop seeing failure as an end and understand it as part of every process. We also explore the concept of externalizing authority, building external and internal self-trust mechanisms, and developing the strength to be ready to face the risk and the consequences of our actions.In This Episode:Every time we ask a question, we are making an assumptionThe baby and the cliff.

  • 99. MVP: Getting Comfortable In Our Zone of Genius To Lead With Confidence & Clarity

    39:39
    In this MVP episode, we talk about the zone of genius with Sophie Weill, Founder of the PR Agency Nude Nation Relations and host of the Active Ingredient podcast. Together, we unravel this fascinating topic. We delve into what is the zone of genius, why it is often related to the Japanese "Ikigai" concept, and what we can do to operate 100% of the time in it. We discuss what it takes to hone the skills that belong to our zone of genius, why we feel miserable when we spend too much time out of it, and why, by doing this, we end up blocking others from accessing their own. We also differentiate zone of genius from zone of excellence, analyze the "know every moving part of your company" business model, and introduce the concept of enrolling as an upgrade of the word, delegating. In This Episode:What it means to operate in our zone of geniusDoes our "original setup," or how we are hardwired, affect how we connect with our zone of geniusHow do we block others from operating in their zone of genius when we decide to work out of oursThe importance of checking in with ourselves regularlyThe differences between zone of genius and zone of excellenceWhen we feel effective and impactful yet not productive, how can we change that mentalityResources:Nude Nation Relations websiteActive Ingredient PodcastBook: Gay Hendricks - The Big LeapLinks:Business Owner Hero Type Quiz: https://lucidshiftcoaching.com/quiz/Connect with Sophie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-weill-4bb9073b/IG: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-weill-4bb9073b/https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill/?hl=esConnect with Ben:Website: https://lucidshiftcoaching.com/Lucid Shift Coaching IG: https://www.instagram.com/lucid_shift_coaching/Project Candlelight: https://airtable.com/shr5p0P2793RtRk2kThis podcast helps business owners reduce overwhelm, beat imposter syndrome, and lead with confidence and clarity by diving into practical strategies for breaking through self-imposed ceilings, tackling the fear of not being good enough or worthy enough, and overcoming the fear of failure.

    45:36
    In this MVP episode, Ben and Clayton have a conversation about mindsets, experiences, egos, and uncertainty in life. A lot of us experience adversity and multiple challenges in our everyday life. It is up to us to be resilient and look forward to a brighter tomorrow. In this episode, Ben and Clayton focus on anti-fragility, its definition, and its various concepts. In This Episode: Defining Anti-Fragility Engaging with uncertaintyFragile Mentality Ego & Metaphor Success Identity Proximal Development - The anti-fragility mindset can be described as developing a new relationship with uncertainty—one where you welcome uncertainty into life. Clayton references Jordan Peterson: with the zone of proximal development. It’s the line between order and chaos. Where you’re in the unknown and then you venture into the unknown, it completely blows you into pure chaos and disintegration. TransformationAnnihilationYou can follow Ben and Clayton on their socials:Ben: Website l IGClayton: Website | YouTube | LinkedIn l IGThis podcast helps business owners reduce overwhelm, beat imposter syndrome, and lead with confidence and clarity by diving into practical strategies for breaking through self-imposed ceilings, tackling the fear of not being good enough or worthy enough, and overcoming the fear of failure.

  • 97. MVP: Surrendering Ourselves To the River Flow of Reality: Reduce Overwhelm as a Business Owner

    35:51
    Ironically, acceptance is one of the most resisted concepts when it comes to wrapping our minds around it. It's an idea that is hard to grasp without confusing it with something else like tolerance, resignation, or agreement. In this MVP episode, Clayton and I talk about one of the radical shifts we can make to change our world: radical acceptance. We delve into why it is so hard to connect with radical acceptance and embrace it in the present moment without feeling we are losing something. Together, we uncover the several meanings we tend to attribute to acceptance that doesn't necessarily describe what it is and how it can serve us. We pay attention to the language we use to describe acceptance and get in touch with how those words land within ourselves and make us feel. We also go through some practical and philosophical ways to embrace acceptance in the present moment and learn how to be friends with the things we want to change in ourselves and the world around us. In This Episode:Some of the things acceptance is NOTIt's practice until it's not.

  • 96. MVP: Just One More Shot! I've Only Failed A Thousand Times: Overcome Failure as a Business Owner

    19:20
    Although success and failure are antonyms, in practice, they are complementary. In any endeavor, failing is the most logical way to reach success. The truth is that accomplishing something we want badly has more to do with the will to succeed than how and how many times we fail at trying. In this MVP episode, we discuss radical commitment, the only tool we need to go through, manage, and conquer anything we put our minds into. We analyze the power of radical commitment, go through the four steps to choosing it to be our opt-out to failure, and learn how to put failure in perspective and change our perceptions about it. In addition, we explore and understand why sometimes it is so hard to commit to something. In This Episode:What is radical commitment, and how can it serve us to reach our goalsWhat are the three main reasons why we have a hard time committing to somethingWould you do something knowing you'd fail a thousand times before succeeding?The importance of picturing a possible path for usBurn the ships!
