I recently attended a meeting of the “Disruptive Thinkers’ in San Diego.  The speaker at the regular Monday evening event was an author by the name of Neil Senturia.  I really did not know what to think, but I was in for a pleasant surprise.  Not only was Neil entertaining, funny and witty but his message was meaningful and dead on the money!.

If you are an entrepreneur or social entrepreneur then you are going to want to listen to my interview with Neil Senturia about his book entitled ” I’m There For You, Baby-The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Galaxy”.  This book is comprised of a series of rules that Neil has developed over the years, as a result of being an amazingly successful entrepreneur himself.

Let me share a couple of the rules with you to see if you agree:

Rule #1: Return every email and every phone call.”

Rule #2: Networking is a profession. Become professional at it.”

Rule #3: You must go to every meeting and every event; in particular, the ones you know for sure will be a total waste of time.”  

It really doen’t matter if you agree or disagree with Neil’s rules or not, the book is a must read for anyone who runs their own business or is about to venture out into any entrepreneur activity.  Please take a few minutes and listen to our interview I think you will find our dialogue inspiring and the content very useful.

I had a very serendipitous event occur to me about a month ago.  I was setting in a local coffee house and saw a man reading “Through God’s Eyes”.  I was so taken by the title I asked him where he got the book and if he knew anything about the author.  He mentioned that the author was a fellow devotee of Self Realization Fellowship, and would I like to meet him.  The rest is history, I called Phil Bolsta and we instantly connected and I asked him to be a guest on Inside Personal Growth.

Phil’s new book “Through God’s Eyes-Finding Peace and Purpose in a Troubled World” is a work of art as far as I am concerned.  It took Phil over 14 years to compile the quotes that he has so carefully organized into sections in the book.  Included with the quotes are Phil’s own comments and food for though as you read, contemplate and meditate on the amazing compilation of quotes.  You can pick up “Through God’s Eyes” anywhere and be inspired. This is not a book you have to read page by page to get the meaning from its content.

I know you are going to enjoy my interview with Phil as we discuss many of the sections of “Through God’s Eyes”.  If you are seeking deeper spiritual understanding and connection then this is the book for you.  You don’t have to be a theologian to read and reap the rewards of “Through God’s Eyes”, just relax and enjoy the quotes and the inspiring food for thought that Phil has incorporated into every quote.

I have always embraced graphic facilitation and mind mapping as a way to better visualize and capture my thoughts.

In my interview with master graphic facilitator and innovator David Sibbet we discuss the benefits of utilizing these special tools to help us understand, and visualize our project , visions and dreams.

His new book entitled “Visual Leaders” provides the reader with a better understanding of the advantages of being a visual leader, and overview of the many tools available and the insight to lead an organization through change and transformation with greater buy-in from the teams and employees for sustainable results.

We all make commitments to change, improve and make our life better, the real question we should ask is how can we sustain and create the new behavior necessary for lasting change?

In my interview with Dr. Joe Dispenza a best selling author of “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself”. Dr. Dispenza and I speak about the brain science of creating lasting change and he talks about how to make it stick.

Dr. Dispenza says that once you understand the dynamics of how your brain works and some simple processes that are easy to follow, you can retrain your brain—and keep those resolutions. Lasting change is not a dream; it can be achieved employing strategies that can be learned and are repeatable.
