Shut Up And GRIND with Robert B. Foster

Joining the panel are:

Joining the show is relationship/intimacy expert, author, and podcast host Monica Tanner:

Have you ever wondered what makes the difference between those couples who absolutely LOVE to be together and the ones who merely tolerate each other in their old age? I always want to run up to the cute old couples who still hold hands while walking down the street and ask them all their secrets to relationship success. This podcast gives me the opportunity to do just that! I'm Monica Tanner, wife to a super hunky man, mom to 4 kids, weekly podcaster, and relationship and intimacy expert/enthusiast.

Joining me for a second episode is Tiffany Lindley!

I have battled with my own emotional and mental health problems. My struggles are what helped empower me with the ability to identify with other people’s pain. I am a proud person with ADHD and I didn't receive treatment until adulthood. I understand being sensitive to my environment and people's energy as an empath. I have experienced grief, exhaustion, and overwhelm. I know that people can learn from their pain in order to use it as fuel for the journey.

Through personal stories and practical advice, we hope to inspire you to embrace your unique qualities and talents, and to live a life that is true to who you are. So join us on this journey of self-discovery, and let's explore what it means to become who you were meant to be.

Meet the Panelists: Dominique Brightmon - Dom host's the Going North podcast, a top-rated self-help podcast that interviews authors from all over the world. His mantra is Advance others to advance yourself. @dombrightmon

After experiencing long-term suicidal depression as a teenager, I now live a happy and fulfilling life and mentor many others to achieve their goals. After struggling with a chronic illness for 10+ years that doctors said was incurable, I have found ways to support my body holistically and enjoy thriving health. I went from high stress and burnout in my career to making six figures and enjoying a work-life balance doing purposeful work impacting millions of patients. After facing many difficulties with racism, white supremacy, and transphobia as I grew my healing practice, I am actively speaking out against these harmful attitudes in the holistic health community.

I believe everyone is inherently unique..and those things you think are flaws, are actually your beautiful gifts.

This is exactly how I was able to heal my anxiety/depression. And now I’ve made it my mission to help other Millennials like me do the same. Why?

Because when you recognize why the hell you are the way that you are, you can begin embracing it instead of fighting it and begin conquering the freaking world.

Show up to work confident AF.

Be that shining light of your friend group again instead of the miserable one sitting in the corner.

Be able to express your wants and needs in your relationship without fear that they’ll leave.

You might be thinking, sure..maybe after years of therapy…this is way off in the future for you. But I’m about to drop a truth-bomb on you…

You can take major steps towards this way much faster and starting TODAY.

Joining me today is Author, speaker, and mentor Trish Springsteen!

So how did I get from that shy Trish who was not at all confident, who would avoid speaking, who had potential but didn’t have the confidence to fulfill that potential. I had and still have a very supportive family – who told me you can do anything you want, be anything – go for it. Those are great words – only they are just words if you don’t believe in those words and that was me – no confidence, no self-belief. It was not until I had a mentor who pushed me, challenged me,  believed in me, and helped me to believe in myself that I grew into who I am and am comfortable with who I am. That is why I love mentoring, love finding ways to make it easy for clients to find you, why I love working with introverts and those who are letting their mindset and limiting beliefs stop them from being all that they can be.

Joining the show is Certified Divorce Coach Kelli Calabrese!

After my excruciatingly painful divorce, I got certified as a Divorce Coach to get healed and help others do the same.

I founded Intentionally Fabulous and began my mission to help women going through any stages of separation and divorce go from fearful to fearlessly pursuing what sets their soul on fire.

I take a spirit, mind-body approach to help women redefine themselves to live an extraordinary bonus life filled with peace, joy, gratitude, self-love, and celebration.

My approach to healing from divorce isn’t like anything else you will find. How do I know? Because it’s the program I needed when I was where you are now, and it wasn’t anywhere to be found.

My divorce left me filled with anxiety and in a state of depression. I went looking for help but it was all so scattered it was tough to find what I really needed.

I went on a quest to learn about how to heal from what I was experiencing. The result was a path that took me from that empty place to one of joy, freedom, and peace.

That’s what I want for you. That’s what Intentionally Fabulous is all about.

Joining the show is Renia Pruchnicki, Founder of Truth Belts!

I started Truth in 2001. I made belts from my apartment in downtown Toronto.

I was determined to create a life I loved and at the same time, I wanted to do something that would make a difference to our planet.

Since I had no experience with leather, I made my belts out of what I like to call ‘Genuine Non-Leather’.

I thought it was a clever phrase and decided to stamp all of my ‘leather-look’ belts with this phrase on the back. Funny!

Renia Starting Truth Belts

Over the years, as my approach to design has developed, my personal interests and lifestyle choices have also evolved – more and more, they aligned with and reinforce the innate philosophy of Truth.

I strongly believe as a business owner I can make choices that make a difference to our planet.

Mother nature needs our help right now. Nature is here to support humans and it seems like all we have done is abuse and exploit her to fulfill our own selfish desires. Us humans are currently behaving in a way no animal would ever treat their herd, flock, pod, or swarm.

We have forgotten we are part of nature. That’s why I choose to have my products made in Canada and to use animal-friendly materials.

Joining the show with a powerful message is Danielle Matthews!

At the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”.

Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover…and she did! Through the power of what she refers to as ‘Mind Control,’ she attracted the mindset, techniques, and exact quantum healing technologies needed to fully recover. She has since built an international business, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control', and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.

Joining the show is Celeste Anderson:

My adult years were spent raising my 4 children as a single mother.  After my youngest graduated high school, I moved to San Diego to find myself again.  The sexual abuse that I suffered in my younger years had left my mental health very taxed and I found myself once again in a very dark place. I needed to heal my soul and find my path, and it was time to discover my purpose aside from being a mother/caretaker.  While in San Diego, I was introduced to the Fraternal Spiritualist Church and an amazing group of people that helped change my life and put me on a path of healing and growth.  Through my healing, I began to reawaken my gifts that had been sitting dormant. These gifts led me down my true-life path.

Joining me on the show is Dr. Katie Branter!  About what she does:

We’re passionate about becoming the most activating movement/organization dedicated to building a community of like-minded wisdom seekers, keepers and mentors to help women from all over the world rise through love.

My name is Jane Ferré and in 2017 I experienced redundancy twice in one year.

In March, I took voluntary redundancy from my role as Head of Talent for British Airways, before I was Headhunted by LEON Restaurants as their first Head of Training.

8 months later that role was made redundant and my last day was the beginning of December, “Merry Christmas”!

Did I sit on the sofa in my pyjamas binge watching Netflix, drinking red wine and eating Giant Chocolate Buttons? Of course I did, it was nearly Christmas, no one would be hiring now and I had lots of parties to go to – what was the point?

Gone was the security of having a (very good) salary land in my bank account every month.

Gone was the kudos of my job title.

Gone were my plans for a Merry Christmas (we cancelled our plans, didn’t buy any presents and stayed home).

The second time was harder than the first, I didn’t have the support network that was in place the first time. As I had only been with the business for 8 months, I was paid my notice period of one month’s salary and I had very limited savings.

When 2018 rolled around, I put down the wine, got off the sofa and dug out my notebooks that contained everything I had learned during my first redundancy. If I did not have this to fall back on, I’m not sure I would have got back on my feet so quickly.

I’ve learned a lot during this time, I have developed a range of techniques to make decisions about what was next for me, all of which I share with my clients as we work together.

In less than a year, I built a successful business and now spend my days working with my amazing clients to help them to achieve their targets. I LOVE it.

Joining the show is Vietnam veteran, Robert Toporek to share his story and the story of Milton Olive!

As a decorated Vietnam war veteran and author of this booklet “The First African American to be awarded The Medal of Honor in The Vietnam War". This ebook details the act of bravery BEYOND the CALL OF DUTY Milton Olive, only the eighth African American to receive this award did that day by jumping on a hand grenade and blowing his guts out saving the lives of four other platoon members.

After not talking about Vietnam for over 25 years I found and reached out to Olive’s father and stepmother in Chicago. I shared verbally most of what is in this booklet and promised them I would make this a national story. They gave me their blessings.

This booklet is more than about Olive, it is about the impact on his father and stepmother, it's about the impact his life and death have made on me since that day and my pledge to myself when we put his body down to carry forward his and all of my squad's heroic stories. It's about the impact this story can have on everyone.

Joining the show is author and entrepreneur Cathay Reta!

So what can I tell you about me. I have a B.A. in Music, a 37-career in adult literacy and a lifetime of co-ministry with my husband David . . . until he passed away in 2016. My rite of passage into widowhood is described in Keep Walking, Your Heart Will Catch Up.

My greatest strength and passion is writing life’s experiences and observations into relatable lessons for others. When I’m putting pen to paper — or watching a screen fill with words while clicking on a keyboard — my thoughts and ideas come together in clarity. They take formation. They tell me what I didn’t even realize I was thinking, or knowing, or seeing. Writing refreshes me, inspires me.

Hayk owns and operates a thriving insurance and construction business that he built from scratch. With the years of coaching and developing his top producing teams, he has developed great joy in coaching and consulting other business owners, professionals, aspirants and team members on replicable sales systems, processes of entrepreneurship and personal development.

Hayk brings a unique approach to the definition of success. His inspirational story of perseverance despite the immense odds, has helped him inspire others to grow and achieve the success they’ve longed for.

Hayk Tadevosyan immigrated to United States at only 13 years of age with his father, having only a few hundred US dollars in their pockets. Since it was financially impossible to bring the entire family to the United States, his mother, sister and brother had to stay in Armenia, a former Soviet Republic, resulting in a 7 year separation of the family.

While the father and son duo slept on roll up mattresses and couches in rooming houses, they often went hungry with only Hayk’s provided school lunch available, to feed them both. Hayk developed an unusual fear of new places from all the relocating they did during his childhood years. Moving from city to city, state to state to find work was unavoidable given the circumstances, as it was not an option to skip sending money to their family in Armenia.

From humble beginnings in Armenia, where he lived without the luxury of running water or electricity, often going hungry, to now a successful businessman – Hayk has been described by many as a modern example of the American dream in action.

Joining the show is David "Kutimack" Kuti!

Fitness Philosopher, BYBD

Reinvention is at the root of the Be Your Best Daily philosophy and of KUTImack.’s personal story. After more than 15 years of building a successful career as a music industry executive, KUTI desired to build a career that aligned more closely with his personal mission in life - helping others.

Spurred to action after his physically-fit father survived two near-death experiences in quick succession related to a high blood pressure incident, KUTI sought to address his own blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

KUTI personally experienced the transformative power of the right fitness and nutrition regimen and wanted to share it with others who were struggling to achieve their health and fitness-related goals.

Wanting more people to benefit from the life-changing information he was currently communicating one-on-one with clients during training sessions, KUTI began sharing his Be Your Best Daily message and program with a larger audience on social media. The philosophy that drives Be Your Best Daily (BYBD) is that positive change is possible both internally and externally at any point. KUTI has seen the immense transformative power of the BYBD philosophy in a variety of ways, including on Type II diabetic clients who are no longer reliant on insulin to control their blood sugar levels and on an HIV-positive client whose viral loads became undetectable.

His clients and audiences have affectionally dubbed KUTI the “Fitness Philosopher” for his unique ability to share straightforward, science-based fitness and nutrition expertise, paired with motivational philosophies that connect with people on a personal level.

"when I got diagnosed, I was probably in the “best shape” of my life. I was at the gym almost every day & eating a well-balanced diet. In fact, this led doctors to continually assert that I “was fine” and attribute my symptoms to my imagination or stress.

(Dear Drs. everywhere, please change “there’s nothing wrong!” to “I couldn’t find what is wrong”)

as many people know, I was diagnosed shortly thereafter with a rare brain disease. Though I’ve had treatments in the past, there is no cure. The diagnosis changed my life, and unlike some people with disabilities, you really wouldn’t know from looking at me.

I hope stories like mine raise more awareness around disabilities, and challenge how people think of individuals who live with disabilities.

Sick people deserve to pursue joy & not be held down by a narrative that society holds about what being sick is supposed to look like."

Nate and I  had had enough!

I owned my own salon and was chasing six kiddos around.

Yep! I said six.. 17 all the way to a 1 year old.

My husband Nathan was working full time in the coal mining industry, also running a pest control business his grandfather started and hauling crude oil on the weekends.

We were so tired of working and never seeing our kids, not to mention one another.

We were making great money but it was never enough.. linear income wasn’t cutting it for us.

We knew that if something didn’t change Nate was going to kill over dead.

family pic 2015

Insert that call none of us ever wanted to get.  Network Marketing.

I was polite (because it was my mother in-law and she was standing in my doorway). I honestly didn’t understand the industry at all.

I was ignorant like a lot of people.

However, when we sat down and really took a look at what was being taught, we knew this was our ticket to freedom.

I had been looking for a way of creating residual income and I found it.

I was so excited, in our first 12 hours we had our initial investment back.

In our first 6 months we made and extra twenty thousand dollars.

Things were going so well we thought we would be at the top of the company in a few short years,  boy we were dead wrong.

My  business fell apart, everyone we had enrolled quit except one personal.

I wasn’t able to duplicate what we were doing.

I went back to the beginning and started over.

Even my sponsor quit!

I had told everyone in my whole town what we were doing and there was no way I was giving up I am not a quitter!.. I may be a bit bull headed. Ha Ha!

I continued to build old school, prospecting everyone that moved and throwing whatever we could at the wall hoping someone would stick.

We created a small team that were active and growing.

I began to dig, read books, listening to audios, search online, learning from people that had what I wanted.

Guess what?

I discovered Attraction Marketing!

I get the honor of speaking with a homegrown hero, Remi Jones, today at 3pm est!

Remi Jones is a woman who has never stopped working towards achieving her dreams. She began her career in media as a television show correspondent, interviewing various talents across New York City. Today, she is the executive producer, andhost of her talk show Remi TV, which is based in Rhode Island.

‍

Her journey was not an easy one. When she began her media career, she was interviewing artists at various locations as well as at red carpet events. She was not comfortable with talking to strangers on camera at first, but she persevered and decided to step outside her comfort zone. As Remi grew more confident in her skills, she realized that she loved what she was doing.

She realized that this was something she was passionate about. Working under someone else no longer felt right for her, so she took a leap of faith and decided to start her own show, which she called Remi TV. Using what she learned from her correspondence experience, she built a show that catered to the type of stories she wanted to share and the type of shows that people wanted to watch.

La Vie means life, and life is something that should be cherished and enjoyed. I am here to guide women on a holistic journey into wellness.

Promoting physical and mental strength to allow them to experience life with resilience, mindfulness and optimism.

I will encourage them to explore and develop their emotional intelligence and elevate their well-being, all to inspire them to thrive beyond what they ever thought possible.

I want to share my story with you. I want to tell you how the decisions I made in my life have taught me how to develop a deep resilience and positive resilience, and positive outlook. I want to pass my experiences and insights on how they so that they too can achieve absolute balance throughout their body, mind, and soul.

It is essential women ensure they indulge in regular relaxing treatments for their body and resilience coaching for the mind. I will lead women on a journey of exploration to discover the hidden depths of their potential.
