Igniting Souls Podcast With Kary Oberbrunner

This is the end of the Igniting Souls Show's 7 year run (over 400 episodes). Why? I'm ending it to allow the margin needed for some exciting new things, including the new Blockchain Life Podcast. I know what you're thinking, "What does Blockchain have to do with publishing and authors?" Well, it has EVERYTHING to do with publishing, authors, coaches, entrepreneurs and speakers. The fact is that you cannot pull the Internet away from any facet of life today. Blockchain isn't just changing the rules; it's changing the game, and I want to be on the cutting edge of future thought and creativity. I also want to share my quest for knowledge on this with you. I'm not the expert on things like Blockchain, NFTs and Cryptocurrency, but I'm interviewing folks who are, and I'm inviting you to join us as we look into the future of not only publishing, but life, together.

All of us at Igniting Souls (and that includes you) have a goal to ignite 100 million souls by the year 2030. Each quarter we stop and share with each other how many souls we've ignited (people who've read our books, watched our videos, read our blogs, etc.), and we celebrate our milestones. We call it our Quarterly Ignite-a-Thon. Listen in to our most recent Ignite-a-Thon as we celebrate igniting 26,735,650 souls together, and hear some of the amazing stories from some of our igniters (people just like you), including Sara Bader Grandstaff, Author of Team Unhackable, and Dana Lyons, Author of No Longer Cinderella and Founder of the Broken But Not Alone Ministry.

If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you've achieved, then learning this easy mindset shift will set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfillment and success. Take a dive with us into Dan Sullivan's simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on "The Gap", but successful people focus on "The Gain". Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal", a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in ""the gap"". However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the gain". That is where the gap and the gain concept comes in. It was developed by legendary entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan and is based on his work with tens of thousands of successful entrepreneurs. When Dan's coaching clients periodically take stock of all that they've accomplished - both

I had the honor of interviewing one of the most amazing people on the planet today, Christopher Hallman. In the past, some people have told him to give up trying to be a speaker. Many people have only viewed him as "disabled." By "accident" I met him last month in Florida. Someone pushed his wheelchair up to the microphone during a Q and A session with hundreds of professionals in the room. He asked the global leader, "How can a young disabled man add value to other people?" It took him a long time to get the words out. But when he finished, the whole room erupted into a standing ovation.  Some people cried. All were deeply impacted. Chris' courage had transformed us in a matter of minutes. He imparted a rare boldness into each of us. Our excuses and self-limiting beliefs eroded.  After the session I found his mom and said, "Chris must speak at the Igniting Souls Conference. Please can he? Our people need his courage." When it comes to courage and conquering your fear, Chris Hallman is a true inspiration.
