Having an open-minded perspective that expands your horizons can shift mindsets, give different perspectives, and create vast opportunities that would of otherwise not been thought about or considered.

However, what if you were able to take your lifestyle and become a nomad, exploring the world with vast opportunities to work from anywhere, and helping to see the world in a new perspective that challenges your beliefs and create long-lasting friendships and engagements to live, work, and play? Today's guest, Monica Mangelson, shares her digital nomad lifestyle and how it has fueled positively, scientific results, and a thirst-quenching lifestyle for freedom to work from anywhere. Through this interview, learn how to build sustaining opportunities to grow into new perspectives and lifestyles that would have otherwise been not attainable.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Often, your podcast host is asked why he is so open and vulnerable when sharing his story, and why it has been second nature to share it in various ways to deliver meaningful value. The biggest secret to ever opening up about your story is not just about being comfortable with your own story, but knowing that it deserves to be heard by others, regardless of the reaction that is received. Today’s episode is all about exploring how to get started on the path of not only feeling more comfortable being transparent, but why you can make a difference, even in one person’s life, because of sharing it.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Rejection is a staple of life that we must become accustomed to. By holding onto countless attempts of failure, we will never see the true versions of ourselves. How we deal with rejection, instead of dreading on it, may be easier than it seems. Today’s episode reinforces the importance of walking along the path, even if you are creating it yourself, to allow for opportunities to grow and reduce your percentage chance of rejection from occurring. It’s perfectly fine to feel dejected, but it is no longer acceptable to stay in the space of rejection forever.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Finding your purpose to accomplish what we are set out to do in our lives may be easier for some over others. Through hard work, proper education, and direction that is granted from the mentors, friends, and family, we are able to define our purpose easily. However, form some, the ways in which this direction manifests comes from unexpected twists and turns that allow us to flourish in ways that we originally thought were not possible. Today's guest, Rebecca Williamson, discusses her "career shift" from postmaster to owner of the Cambre House, which transformed her way of doing business to earn a living, but has enriched her life (& family) in many surprising ways. Her "spooky" ghost tours and offerings as a wedding venue are a tip of the iceberg to this incredible story of transformation through grief and pain, and turning it into something that was not originally the purpose she set out in life. Through careful assistance & determination, learn how this growth journey for her has helped others to push open weighted doors and give opportunities to create long-lasting memories for others, even during this Halloween season.

Once those decisions are made, how can we not be stuck in the “after effects” we typically feel? Today’s episode discussed the feelings AFTERWARDS that you may experience. This discussion is what you may not see when discussing how to resolve problems in the moment, and this frank subject will leave you more prepared for the challenging moments ahead.
