Want to connect with people in a better way? Our cognitive biases (mental blockages) can distort our understanding about a situation, a circumstance, or a person. We see the world that comes from our understanding of life, our filters in our brain that guide our understanding. One filter that can make a huge difference in our understanding, is our experiences of life, Pain and Pleasure. This one filter alone can create mental blockages that can prevent us from seeing the reality or having clarity. If you knew better, what would you choose? How would you connect with someone, if you had better clarity? #connection #connections #connectbetter #effortless #genuine #genuineconnections #mentalblock #mentalblocks #cognitivebehaviouraltherapy #cognitivepsychology #cognitivedevelopment #ｓｉｎｇｌｅ #single #singleguy #singlegirls #singlewomen #singleman #singlemum #singledad #singlemomlife #singledadlife #divorceddad #divorcedmom https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPKmTpvDah/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A “Resume’s” Value?

 This is not a blog about how to write a top-notch resume.  I am probably the last person to ask and there are professionals out there that put together some incredibly ones from what I’ve seen.  These days, I’ve notice kids coming out of college putting their resume or skillsets, in form of video or vlog and sending it over to prospective employers. My oldest daughter, a senior in high school, has her YouTube channel up and going for college scouts.  I myself created a YouTube channel as well, not to share my expertise on writing resumes 😊, but to share the podcast and other videos we plan on producing in the future.  Things have definitely changed over the years; therefore, we have to change and adapt.

 I understand the purpose of resumes.  I get it and we must understand, from a piece of paper, what a person’s background, experience, and expertise may be prior to getting to know them further and potentially investing in them.  As a business, a school, a sports team, etc., there is that investment. In life, that is what we do, we invest in one another to help us become who we want to become. Do we truly understand someone though from that piece of paper, or video?  No, right! Those tools get us in the door and then it is up to us to shine and tell our story.  How often or the “right one’s” passed over because of a resume?

As I said, this isn’t about the purpose of a resume. It is more about building our skills and talents go get us closer to who we want to become.  The resume piece was sparked by a thought that I heard from Tom Bilyeu during his podcast recently.

 “You don’t learn new skill to build a resume. You do it to get you closer to the person you want to become.”        

 Pause for effect.  I am confident in saying that there is a lot of stuff that most of us could, maybe even should, put on our resumes’ but we don’t.  My personal opinion, and maybe I am very wrong, but I am not sure people care too much about a blog or podcast I started when going in to interview for a job.  I might be naïve, but I would think the only reason they would have an interest to ensure I am not a crazy person (something that should again be validate by meeting face to face 😊)!  We tend to want to “build our resume” to prove to others, not even ourselves in some cases, that we are worthy.  That could be worth of a job, of a partner, worthy of being a parent, or of status.   What a piece of paper says should be the last of our concerns.  Again, I get it, we need to get our foot in the door. However, if we are on a path of building skillsets and treasures to become the person we are truly meant to be, won’t that position, career, job, thing that we are supposed to do – present itself? Well, that can be a little hocus pocus, unicorn, and rainbow stuff, but there is some truth to it.  Going back to a prior post, we can’t just sit on our butts and “hope” or wish it to happen, we must put in the work.  

 If that work is helping us develop new skills, talents, and expertise; if that work is pushing us beyond our comfort levels and helping us grow and learn, isn’t it safe to think that we are headed in a good direction? We are going to get punched in the face many times along that journey but if our efforts are closely in line with our passion, aka - who we want to become, are we toeing the right line? I believe we are.

 Our value doesn’t come from something that is listed on a piece of paper or published in a video.  Unfortunately however, we must use those tools to get us in the door. To get that introduction or to get us that five minutes of time with the person that is supposed to be the gatekeeper to our future.  I understand that process and the world we live in; I just don’t like that process any more.  Actually, I never did.  Not talking about the resume process here……………………………

  Talking about how we can pass judgement on each other without ever sitting down and genuinely getting to understand each other’s story.

Exploring the Field of Dreams with Ben Orlando

Today, we are lucky to have Ben Orlando on the podcast! Ben Orlando is a Therapist, a Podcaster, an Educator, a Writer, and an incredible human being. He received his MFA in Creative Writing from Eastern Washington University and his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pittsburgh.

Using podcasts as the medium to express his creativity, Ben Orlando started a podcast called “History Repeating Itself.” In it, he and his co-host, Michelle, uncover the connections between the past and the present, making predictions based on historical patterns and cultural trends.

However, he rediscovered his buried passion for baseball when he started reading fiction novels about it over the summer. Ben traveled back to the good old days of collecting baseball cards and hanging baseball posters on the walls. This led him to create another podcast called “Midnight Library of Baseball.”

As a sport-thusiast, I have been binge-listening and enjoying the calm, chill vibe of his show. Whether you play baseball, are an avid fan, or have a curious itch about this sport, this is the perfect podcast for you! 

In this The Ripple Effect Podcast episode, Ben and I took the plunge into the world of baseball by discussing “Field of Dreams,” a 1989 movie based on the novel Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella. The story follows Ray, an Iowa farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his cornfield after hearing a voice say, “If you build it, he will come.” This leads to the emergence of legendary baseball players' ghosts to play the game.

As Ben and I went deep into the “Field of Dreams” rabbit hole, we conversed about family, relationships, and the importance of connecting with your own feelings.

This is something you shouldn't miss!

We search for love in the most unusual places. When in fact, we don't have to search that far. All we need to do is to reconnect with the love that's already inside of us.

Prepare for an awakening that starts from within with our special guest - Christin Collins.

Christin Collins is the author of two incredible books, "Her Phoenix Rising" and "be. love." Aside from being an author, Christin Collins is a Keynote Speaker, TEDx Speaker, Philanthropist, and a Global Thought Leader. 

Despite being a former healthcare executive, Christin went through a life-changing health scare that gave way to a shift in her perspective. She had a lot of realizations from this experience and is not afraid to share it with the world.

Christin and I dived into the process of making her newly-released book called "be. love." 

As soon as I had my hands on a copy of this book, I couldn't put it down! I loved it even more when I learned how much work and thought process had been poured into this masterpiece. I'm telling you, it has a deeper meaning than you think.

There's Truth in Advertising

When you doubt whatever you do and put it out there for the world to know, those doubts are self-fulfilling prophecies. Do you know why? Because there is truth in advertising. What you sell to yourself and the world, that's what they'll buy and believe.

Some people call it "manifestation," and others call it the "Law of Attraction," but it all boils down to the idea that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. I agree with that.

Not everything is set in stone, but it influences how you act and how others perceive you.

This topic is inspired by someone I know from a while back and reconnected with recently. Who would've thought that a conversation over caramel macchiato would change someone's life? 

This episode is brimming with true-to-life stories that demonstrate the power of your thoughts and words. Watch out for these stories! I won't go into too much detail here. Relax, grab a cup of coffee, and listen to the full episode.

I still can't believe we're now on the 9th season of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Whether you're new to this channel or a proud Rippler since day one, I can't thank you enough for being here. This is not false advertising! I truly am grateful.

Applying Liquid to Walls with Entrepreneur Maggie Kuyper

Our special guest today will make you rethink what women can do and achieve in a male-dominated field, specifically in the construction space. She will surely hook you with her witty responses, empower you with her strong personality, and inspire you with her relatable story.

Ladies and gentlement, meet Maggie Kuyper, the co-founder of Harpeth Painting LLC, a construction business in Nashville, Tennessee. It hasn’t been an easy climb to success. While significant progress has been made over the past few decades, women continue to face challenges that hinder their full participation. Maggie unapologetically unveils the truth about unfair stereotypes and the adversities women face in male-centered industries.

Maggie had been an educator for ten years before bravely venturing into the world of business with her husband and their hard-earned savings.

We got the opportunity to listen to Maggie’s story today because she was connected to me by her dad, Dr. Jeff Cornwall. He is an entrepreneurial mastermind and passionate educator. In case you didn’t know, I also got to interview Jeff in a recent Inspired Speaker Series video in The Pond. It was a conversation filled with wisdom about the ins and outs of the business field. He let that entrepreneurial mind shine through! 

For women out there who are having second thoughts about bringing their business ideas to life, this episode will give you the empowerment that you need.

This series is presented by Ripple Central (www.ripplecentral.com) and Owner Insite (www.owner-insite.com).
