הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיWelcome to the first episode of 2025! As I reflect on the start of this new year, I opted to share some personal insights and lessons that have already shaped my journey. The year began unexpectedly - I came down with an illness that forced me to slow down. Instead of powering through, as I might have done in the past, I chose to prioritize rest and recovery. It was a different way to start the year, but it felt right. That decision to pause was a reminder that showing up authentically means honoring where I am in the moment. Looking back on the end of 2024, I’m struck by how different it felt compared to 2023. Last year, I embraced acceptance and presence, enjoying quality time with family and celebrating my birthday with lifelong friends. It set the tone for entering 2025 with clarity and a renewed sense of alignment. One big commitment I’ve made this year is starting the 75 Hard Challenge - a 75-day journey focused on mental toughness and discipline. From daily workouts and following a strict diet to reading nonfiction and drinking a gallon of water each day, this challenge aligns perfectly with my theme for 2025: Be Bold . For me, being bold means leaning into resistance, trusting the process, and making courageous decisions, whether that’s in my business, family life, or personal growth. Boldness isn’t just about taking risks—it’s about showing up intentionally and staying true to yourself. Let’s make 2025 a year of alignment, growth, and bold action.

He also delves into renewal, encouraging listeners to let go of what no longer serves them and create space for rest, creativity, and connection.

As Dustin begins his story, he shares a recent leadership win: speaking to high school seniors in a program called CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities), where he highlighted the importance of storytelling, adaptability, and how embracing uncertainty can lead to growth. How does storytelling create connection and trust in leadership and marketing? Why can embracing uncertainty and taking “non-permanent” steps be transformational?

What were some of the unexpected lessons learned from pivoting during COVID and leveraging podcast guesting to scale businesses? Dustin’s story is a fantastic example of self-leadership and the power of saying “yes” to opportunities, even when they’re outside your comfort zone. So as you listen, be thinking…What are the key values driving your own leadership? How can leaning into curiosity, adaptability, and community help you expand your impact?

In this episode, Evan shares how valuable it is to “just show up” as a leader and business owner. He explains how celebrating the little wins along the way is as powerful, if not more powerful than waiting for some big event to occur. Evan not only talks about but demonstrates what vulnerability looks like in leadership and the significant impact it can have on those you lead. Why is the need for instant gratification so common these days and how does that play into one’s leadership journey and that of building a business? How does identifying team members’ level of “skill” and “will” help with understanding how to get the best out of your people? What does “hiring for mindset, teach for skillset” mean and how can that be incorporated into getting the right people on the bus and building a strong company culture? Is a fixed mindset a life sentence or can people learn/be taught how to adopt a growth mindset? Why was the option of entrepreneurship so attractive and what did you realize right away? How important is it to seek support early on and to surround yourself with the proper network? What’s the difference between working “in your business” vs. working “on your business?” Why would someone wait to call themselves an entrepreneur or even a CEO? How can insisting on doing it all on your own ultimately hold you back from greater success in your business? When and where are generalists and specialists valuable? What can personal challenges or events in our life teach us about leadership and business if we’re willing to be vulnerable and reflect? Evan demonstrates why he, his business, his teams and his clients all thrive as part of Red Banyan in his light, fun and open way of communicating. Enjoy the episode!

Merlin, P.A., where he represents clients in divorces through the Collaborative Process. In this episode, Bob gives a detailed and inspiring explanation of exactly what the Collaborative Practice is, how it works and why it’s such a valuable approach to divorce and other (often legal) matters. Bob shares what it was like to be a hard-nosed litigator for so much of his legal career and how he then came to learn of the Collaborative Process. He explains how he learned more about it, incorporated it into his own practice and how he would ultimately transition to exclusively handling matters for clients through the Collaborative approach. Where and with whom did the Collaborative Practice originate? How long has this practice/approach been around? Why is it seen by many as a better approach to litigation? What are the personal and professional implications of incorporating this practice into how you serve clients? Is this a formally recognized approach to resolving divorces and other disputes? Is the Collaborative Approach limited to only divorce/family law? How did self-leadership play a role in exploring this new and alternative approach to how you’ve practiced law for so long? What compelled you to no longer litigate and only work with clients in the Collaborative way? Why might other attorneys or professionals be hesitant about incorporating this approach into their regular practice/workflow? What skills are necessary and/or developed when this Collaborative Process is adopted/incorporated? Is this process right for everyone facing divorce or other disputes? Why is language so important as part of this Process? You will have these and so many other questions answered as you learn about this fascinating, refreshing and effective approach to an area of law that has been handled in such a way for so long. Bob is experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about this work and, as he shares, “if he can do it, so can you!”. Enjoy the episode!

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיRob Cressy is an AI & Self Development Coach, Entrepreneur, Podcast Host, Speaker and the Co-founder of the Unlimited Coach community. Rob and Hakim have run in similar circles for some time now and really connected when they attended a virtual conference for a coaching community, where they each helped elevate the virtual space for those not attending the London event in-person. From there, their connection grew and Hakim ended up engaging Rob in podcast coaching in order to launch Access Your Leadership. From there, they met up in Santa Monica and have become close friends and co-creators, meeting up often in-person since they both reside in Florida. In this episode, Hakim welcomes Rob onto the podcast to commemorate and celebrate the podcast’s one-year anniversary. Together, they talk about the journey of even getting to the place of being “ready” to launch a podcast and then what self-leadership was required to actually execute on that desire. Rob talks about his own journey and the various challenges and obstacles he’s encountered along the way and how he helps others better understand themselves to navigate those more effectively. Hakim and Rob talk about the level of responsibility and ownership we can create in our own lives, careers and creation journeys. How does control play into self-leadership? What does it take to take action despite limiting beliefs, apprehension and a lack of knowledge of the steps to get where you’re going? Why is energy so important when you’re sharing yourself online? How is just noticing what’s alive in you enough to create content and impact? What’s the difference between 0 and 1? Are you a passive observer or active participant in your leadership and life? What does it mean to feel like a sports car stuck in the garage and what’s your role to play? How important is momentum and putting in the reps when it comes to starting something new? Rob and Hakim discuss these questions and more as coaches, fathers, husbands, friends and creators. Enjoy the episode and here’s to another year of podcasting!

1 Creation Vacation: The Space Where 'The Work' Gets Done 14:32

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיA lot has happened since my last published episode, which I did with my father. Unfortunately, days after publishing that episode, my father was admitted to the hospital and ended up being there for 2 weeks. I am happy to report that he got some good medical attention and has been home now for a few weeks regaining his strength and getting himself back on track. Additionally, my 93 year old grandmother was experiencing some issues related to her assisted living situation, which the whole family responded to in a beautiful way to resolve. She remains in her beautiful apt and is doing well. Not that this wasn’t enough to keep my mind and heart busy, but I had a number of speaking engagements and had a trip planned to Chicago for some business and networking meetings. It was an incredible trip and I’ll even have one of my new friends on the podcast as a guest here shortly. Upon returning from Chicago for the surprise my wife had waiting for me, I was back at the airport for a surprise trip to Boston to meet one of my best friends for a Pearl Jam concert at Fenway Park. While I was tired from my previous trip and it was all a bit unexpected, it was an amazing surprise and I felt so loved to be gifted that! This is much of the reason why I took a bit of a break with the podcast and also why my Creation Vacation with Rob Cressy ended up being so perfectly timed. We had a full day in Key Largo/Islamorada, Florida talking about business, coaching, life, family and how each of us shows up in each of those areas of our lives. It was intense and confronting while also being very loving and supportive. We shattered self-imposed ceilings and created so many new possibilities for what we do in our businesses and how we do it. I left that day feeling inspired, energized and motivated to be fearless in my asks, to not limit myself and who I’m being each and every day and to take bold action in my business and with my clients. That all would not have been possible without creating the space and the container for those conversations to emerge. And this is my encouragement to you…where are you holding yourself back? Where are you playing small? Where might you be living in a place of limited possibilities? And most importantly, who are you able to surround yourself with and be in conversation with who can call these things (and you) out on these things? Finding time to take a “creation vacation” from your every day is a necessary part of growing and expanding who you are as a leader, business owner and human being. So…who’s that person for you? How do you create that time for yourself?
