You look around and you see people doing some pretty amazing things in the world. Whether it’s business accomplishments or changing the world for the better, things that seem impossible. Mick Ebeling is certainly one of those guys. It makes me wonder, is doing the impossible relegated to a chosen few? Or are any of us capable of doing what currently seems impossible, and if so, what stops us from breaking through believing that nothing is impossible. A recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the year Award, and listed as one of the most influential creative people by The Creativity 50’s, Mick Ebeling has sparked a movement of pragmatic, inspirational, innovation. As a career producer and filmmaker, he harvests the power of technology and story, to change the world. Mick founded “Not Impossible”, a multiple award winning social innovation lab and production company on the premise that nothing is impossible.This unconventional approach brought to life highly acclaimed initiatives.

In the couple days leading up to Christmas Day here in the United States, we have something very special for you. This time of year conjures up all sorts of feelings. Tradition, family and friends gathering, surprise and delight, and of course, gratitude and giving. This special episode of Creative Warriors is a gift within a gift within a gift. This past Sunday, while hanging out in an outdoor market here in Miami, I met these two exceptional guys, brothers, doing something amazing in the world, and I knew right away I had to have them on for this special Christmas Eve day episode.

Being a creative warrior and an entrepreneur takes bravery. If you weren’t courageous you wouldn’t have taken the leap to where you are today. But courage is also an ongoing action. To live our best lives we need to be always challenging and pushing at our comfort zone. Margie Warrell is the author of Brave, Stop Playing Safe, and Find Your Courage, as well as a speaker and entrepreneur. She’s talking with me about what it means to be brave every single day. Bravery isn’t always about jumping out of an airplane! Instead, Margie’s explaining how to interrogate you assumptions about reality and pay attention to what’s amplifying your fear. We’re also getting into being vulnerable, owning your own influence, and Margie’s 10 Day Train the Brave Challenge. BRAVEHEART WARRIOR “If you didn’t have to prove yourself to anybody, what would you do?- Margie Warrell Highlights - Unless we’re willing to be brave and take risks we’ll never have peace within ourselves. Risk is taking emotional and personal leaps. Bei

Encouraging someone when they've hit a wall and are frustrated is, of course, a good thing. Reminding them that it's "always darkest before the dawn" and "change is right around the corner" is also helpful. But there are times these encouraging words just aren't enough. When someone is brutally honest and says, "I know. But I've been here so many times." They are tired of the cycle. We all know that cycle. We hit a wall, we pick ourselves up, only to find ourselves at that same frustrating point later on. In this episode, I offer a strategy on how to break through the breakthrough problem once and for all. The Talking Stick is in your hands now. Let us hear from you.

As creative warriors, our challenges in staying focused are well documented. We chase a lot of squirrels as we like to say. So what’s the difference then, between being focused, and being fully engaged? And how can we, with practice, train our minds to be our most productive? Let’s find out! Thomas M. Sterner is the author of “Fully Engaged” and “The Practicing Mind”. He is accomplished as a musician, composer, and technician in various fields of music; as a recording and audio engineer; and in athletic pursuits from archery to golf. He speaks around the world on developing focus and discipline and lives in beautiful Wilmington, Delaware. WARRIOR of The Present Moment “Focus is a result of being fully engaged” -Thomas Sterner Highlights - Being fully engaged is being completely absorbed in the moment When you are fully engaged, your thinking thins out. The number of thoughts your mind produces are reduced Reactive mode is one of disempowerment Being fully engaged takes a lot of practice, with the consc

Ask almost anyone what their greatest obstacle is, and they are likely to say themselves. What we can learn, and you can learn to do so in this episode, is to get to yes within yourself. To let go of the inner battle, look at your most worthy opponent in the eye, which is yourself, and negotiate a win/win deal. William Ury is the co-founder of Harvard’s program on negotiation. He’s one of the world’s best known and most influential experts on negotiation. He is the co-author of “Getting to Yes,” the best selling negotiation book in the world, and has taught negotiations to tens of thousands of people around the world. He has served as a mediator in conflicts ranging from boardroom battles, to labor strikes, and from family feuds, to civil wars. His newest book is “Getting to Yes with Yourself and Other Worthy Opponents.”   WARRIOR of Spirit “Use fear as your greatest teacher” -William Ury Highlights - If you’re afraid of something it might be a clue that that’s the direction you need to go in The most di

I was asked recently what I thought the #1 thing was that people needed to know that would make the biggest difference in their business and life. That's no easy question to answer! It was a case of knowing the answer but not having the words to describe it. I've given it a lot of thought so that I could not only answer the question but actually offer you something to do with it. An understanding of the concept and ideas on how to make something of it. So here it is. What I believe is the #1 thing that will make a difference in your business and life. The Talking Stick is in your hands now. Let us hear from you.

Do you know that feeling when you hear something exactly when you needed to hear it? Feels great, right? While it often feels like a coincidence, doesn't it make you wonder if it is? I'm a believer in collective consciousness-- that there is a constant stream of consciousness. That usually, our thoughts are not unique and it may be that we are picking up on the collective. The benefit to you as an entrepreneur in knowing this is, imagine how great you can make people feel if you show up in their lives with your marketing ideas and with your meaningful message at just the right time. By listening, you can show exceptional timing. The Talking Stick is in your hands now. Let us hear from you.

We usually refer to the cost of doing business as time and money spent. As creative warriors, since it is often our own talent and skills that we derive our income from, we need to consider the other costs of doing business. The real costs of business, such as the energy spent, time wasted, and the ways we hold ourselves back dealing with our own conflicted thoughts. I ask you to consider what might be the business benefits for you in making peace with your mind. Today we have the amazing Mark Coleman joining us to discuss the negative impacts of self criticism, and how thinking positively can better our health, our attitudes, and our overall mindfulness.

Newton's law of motion says that something in motion stays in motion. Using that theory, I stress the importance of taking advantage of this busy time of year to plan out next year. I offer you my top 7 habits to bring the current year to a close. You'll see that this is the perfect time to plan out next year so that you can hit the ground running. If you wait until after the New Year, you may lose weeks, maybe even months before you get up and going. No need for that! You have too much to accomplish!

We hear a lot about both hustle, as well as the balanced life these days, and it can be difficult to understand how the two work together. If we are supposed to be hustling, is it even possible to lead a balanced life? Which of the two should we be striving for? Today we have the incredible Neil Patel on Creative Warriors to talk about his new book, “Hustle.” This book takes a deep dive into what it means to hustle, why it is valuable and even essential to success, why creativity is such a vital ingredient in hustle, and even where hustle fits into a balanced life. Neil Patel is the co-founder of Crazy Egg and Hello Bar. He helps companies like Amazon, NBC, GM, HP and Viacom grow their revenue.

He was recognized by president Obama as as a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 30, and one of the

Hard work doesn’t have to be a struggle. Pouring your energy into a project isn’t the same experience as struggling, although it can feel like you can’t have one without the other. The truth is, it’s when we’re not fully focused on what we’re doing that the struggle comes in – we start to worry or listen to our negative assumptions, and stop being present in the current moment.   Our expert guest, Roger Housden, is here to talk about what it means to struggle and how we can release ourselves from it by welcoming our own reality and addressing our assumptions.Struggle is an internal challenge that will cause us pain if we don’t work through it. Roger Housden is an author, a speaker, and a writer. He has published more than 27 books and has had work appear in Oprah Magazine, the New York Times, and the LA Times. His most recent book is Dropping the Struggle, 7 Way to Love the Life You Have. He currently runs writing workshops online and in person, with a focus on personal discovery and exploration. WARRIOR

You know jet lag, right? Your body needs time to catch up to the time difference. In this episode, I discuss the lag time between being ready for the results you want and the results showing up. Whether its changes in your business or personal growth, it can be very frustrating when you're all ready but the world doesn't seem to recognize that yet. It's like heading out on a 3 hour road trip that now seems like it takes all day. Similarly, you've done all the right things and are ready to receive the success you deserve.
