  3. 3Interview: Jesse Johnson - A Simple Path To Discovering Your "Why"Do you know your "why"? Many people struggle with getting to their "why" so they focus on what instead. Jesse Johnson believes this is harming a lot of people's careers and experiences. In this episode, Jesse and I discuss the path to discovering your "why" and the significance of knowing it. Jesse is a business leader, philanthropist, executive coach, and father of 6. He started his first job in his family's restaurant at the age of 10 and quickly pursued an athletic career. After an injury took a football scholarship away, and a devastating life event forced him to withdraw medically from his freshman year of university, Jesse decided to purchase his first company at the age of 20. Drawing from his experience and achieving 200% growth in that first year of his business, helping build markets across the west coast, and helping scale startups into the seven-figures, he carries a variety of skills into his coaching business. His unique authenticity shines through in his approach and his main goal is to help people champion the causes in their hearts and make choices that lead a whole and complete life.

  7. 7Learn The WISER Way To Listen And Watch Your Relationships SoarListening is not easy. Ask any parent, boss, or spouse and they'll confirm that one! To listen well requires work. Here's some reality about listening. We talk at a rate of 125 words per minute but can comprehend 400 words per minute. Less than 2 percent of people have had any formal education on how to listen. Images reside in your long-term memory, whereas words live in your short term memory. All this to say, we are in an uphill battle! But the WISER way to listen will help. Here it is in a nutshell. Wait for permission to speak and be okay with silence. Imagine their story, use all your senses. Summarize what has been said, when appropriate. Engage by asking questions, taking notes, making noises, and making eye contact. Review what you heard later that day so you can recall what you heard.
