Tyler Foley joins Kim to talk about how to speak in any situation, whether it be a boardroom, a networking meeting, to a client. He gives many tips that are going to be useful, no matter where you are speaking. Sean Tyler Foley (or STF as he's affectionately known) loves helping people find their voice so they can get their message out to the world. It is the focus of his book, "The Power to Speak Naked", and it’s what truly makes him feel alive. As a performer, speaker, and a general seeker of attention, he knows how hard it can be to get in front of an audience. Facilitating that, even in the smallest way for others, is what he was put on this earth to do. STF is a husband, father, son, and performer, in that order. Some days he feels like he has dabbled in every industry on the planet, from oil and gas, to aviation, to film and television, but that diverse experience is what has made him so versatile! Regardless of the industry or the titles he has held, what they all had in common was promoting and encouraging people to be heard and understood. The skills and resources he has garnered along the way have enabled him to become an entertaining professional speaker and a knowledgeable trainer, who aspires others to reach for their dreams. www.SeanTylerFoley.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Struczewski (stru - chess - key) is a productivity trainer and joins Kim to share with you how to be more productive both personally and professionally. Hey there! I'm Mark Struczewski ~ Mister Productivity. Born and raised in North Chili, New York (a western suburb of Rochester), I moved to Houston, Texas, in July 1997 (no more snow, YAY!). My obsession is to help YOU become a more productive version of yourself. It all started when I was fired! Back in July 2005, I was fired from my job at a local hospital. To be honest, I didn't like what I was doing. It was a drag. So, when I was terminated, I became an entrepreneur. My first step into this new world was as a professional wedding and portrait photographer. While that endeavor didn't end well, one good thing came out of it: my love for public speaking (which is odd as I never liked giving oral presentations in school or college). I left photography behind and began to create topics to speak about. I'm embarrassed to admit that the first one was titled From Hopeless to Hopeful (please don't ask!). Result? Fail! Then I came up with How to Overcome Roadblocks on Your Path to Success. (Note to self: if you're not successful, don't create a talk about how to be successful!) Result? Fail! At this point, I was at my wit's end. I knew I wanted to speak, to teach...but in what? And then it happened...! I was on the phone with my coach and was not having a good day. They asked what was going on, and I told them I couldn't figure out what I want to speak on. That's when they said, "why don't you talk about productivity?" I remember saying, "I don't know where that came from...but why would you say that?" "You are one of the most productive people I know. You need to share that with the world." And that's how I got here. www.misterproductivity.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the second part of this two-part series, Ryan and Kim talk about how to grow your business intentionally and successfully. In this episode, they cover why you need to grow yourself to grow your company and figuring successful habits, and what are the essential tasks to do in a day. Ryan is a High-Performance Coach, Author, and Speaker who guides people to reach their full potential in their lives, businesses, and teams through my proven method of intentional growth. As a former ESPN Academic All-American, he decided to channel his competitiveness from baseball to business by founding a startup company in Silicon Valley. After a few years of iterations and modest growth, he became a statistic when he had to shut down the company. As he reflected on that experience, he realized that in the same way he developed himself as an athlete–to be a high performer on the baseball field, he must apply that same method to become a high performer in business. Unfortunately, it took a failed business to figure that out. From that experience, he developed a formula for growth called the Intentional Growth Model™️. Around that same time, He was asked to be a founding team member of a tech startup company again. He applied all that he learned from my previous experience to help make this company a success. Over 7 years, they intentionally built the company from just an idea into a successful, venture-backed brand with Fortune 500 clients. Taking what he learned about high-performance intentional growth, he wrote a book based upon the growth formula and now gets to coach people on how to reach their full potential to teams, businesses, and people across the Country. www.TheIntentionalDay.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
