Awaken The Awesome

It's been a long time Tribe, and I hope you will forgive this necessary hiatus as I have had to handle some personal matters and take some needed time off the radar. Excited to be back in the lab, ready to bring you yet another powerful conversation with another Awesome guest. With a noticeably infectious energy and an explosive appetite to connect with his fellow human being, I could not help but just LOVE Robert Wise since our first conversation. Robert is one of those chaps that is SO full of genuine love, care and empathy, you can't it help but just be humbled and ready to reciprocate. Robert is the Founder and President of Robert Wise Coaching. As a high performing Sales & Mentor Coach, specializing Executive Coaching, Team Coaching, Sales Training and Company Wellness Workshops, he helps businesses (no matter how big or small) figure out the shortcomings of their current process and create a pragmatic action plan to help them achieve their goal...

  Today's episode is another one of those exceptional conversations where the guest and their amazing insight force me to sit down and take notes. Samantha Kris is an international success coach, as well as a successful author and speaker. By her own account, she thrives in helping others take action. It’s what has powered her business, her book , her incredible TEDx talk , her proprietary goal setting methodology, and every opportunity that followed. Indeed, her REAL Goals™ method of goal setting earned her five promotions in five years, enabled her to double her income in that time, and propelled her into the life of an entrepreneur. With so many achievements, one can certainly agree that her approach and ability to help people and projects realize their full potential has shaped her into a true agent for change. Samantha is also the founder of the Bossing Up movement , a community that empowers each other to harness their hunger for more and create opportunities for themselves ...

Do you truly know the price of Success?  I want you to take a second to ponder on that one...You don't have to give me an answer...but I do expect you to at the very least think about it as we welcome my next guest who, as you'll soon get to hear, has in more ways than one not only paid the price but eventually, after some soul-searching and eventual clarity, decided to say "Enough" and call it a day. As a producer, songwriter, keyboard virtuoso and well-rounded musical talent, Karlo Vieux is a founding member of the iconic, chart-topping Haitian Kompa band CARIMI who, along with fellow founders & bandmates Richard Cavé and Michael Guirand, burst onto the scene with a fresh, innovative sound that shook the airwaves to their core. Whether you were a seasoned or passive Kompa listener back in the day, you had to admit it: there was a new player in town. With Karlo having penned and produced...

I have always been quite outspoken about my dedication to encourage a better conversation among Men in regards to their identity and purpose as I believe there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of both communication and mental health.  So when I got acquainted with my next guest and his similar efforts, it was only natural to extend an invitation to be a guest on the podcast. Coach Michael Taylor is an entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker and radio and TV  show host who has dedicated his life to empowering men and women to reach their full potential by transforming their lives from the inside out. He knows first hand how to overcome adversity and build a rewarding and fulfilling life and he is sharing his knowledge and wisdom with others to support them in creating the life of their dreams.   He is the President & CEO of Creation Publishing Group - a company that specializes in ...

When you have the opportunity to come across someone who knows more than you do and who's willing to share their knowledge with you, take my advice and just remember to do these two very simple things : Shut Up & Listen. Otherwise, you will most likely miss out on some pretty amazing piece of truth and valuable information which, in all honesty, could definitely change your life.  This next conversation was no different. Benoit Chalifoux is a highly sought-after international speaker with well over 500 conferences(and counting) given to various companies of all sizes spread across North America, Africa and Europe.     He serves as Deputy Director of International Affairs at the School of Management of the University of Quebec in Montreal(ESG UQAM). As a seasoned Lecturer, his expertise covers a vast array of noteworthy topics ranging from Entrepreneurship, to Business Development and Cros...

To say that my next guest, Max De La Cruz , and I hit it off from Day 1 is an understatement. You guys know this: save for the initial introduction and booking process leading to recording day, the conversations I have the honour of sharing on this podcast are oftentimes the first interaction I have with the guest, .  While I will admit there is some level of risk involved in such a process, I can tell you for a fact that there's a huge and resounding takeaway when you get to connect with someone who, in all honesty, truly happens to be on the same wavelength as you on so many levels. To keep things simple, let's draw up a checklist so you can see what I mean... Dedicated Father - check Loving Husband - check Fun-loving playfulness - check Content creator & vlogger - check Ferocious Entrepreneur - check Author - well, that's still an item I need to knock off my personal bucket list but you guys ...

Who you choose to allow into your circle has a direct, undeniable impact on your overall process, mindset, and energy. This is still a work in progress for me as I learn to navigate around the habits, processes, and people that are instrumental to this overall mission.  In that regard, it is definitely a blessing when you can surround yourself with like-minded, talented individuals the likes of my next guest who never fail to lead by example on their own path towards achieving greatness through undeniable skill and consistent effort.  I've known Richard Lecoin for a well over 20+ yrs and even though I have yet to follow-up on my word and make it down to his sunny neck of the woods, his kindness and warm-hearted nature have made it so he doesn't hold it against me. An amazing photographer, his body work has been featured in many well-known publications, with a client-list that keeps stre...

© Ludmillo Pierre (https://www.ludmillopierre.com/) - All Rights Reserved Entrepreneurship has its ups and downs, and among the latter is the isolation. The fact that you put in so many insane hours can get maddening at times. So when someone out there in The Universe drops a comment...sends a DM...an email...or shares a review...Believe me - a guy is quite appreciative. This is, in a nutshell, how I met and got to connect with my next guest, Erika Darbouze , and felt quite taken with her journey both as an Entrepreneur and business-owner. You guys probably think I'm joking when I tell you this but I truly do read all of your comments. And it's throughout our various exchanges, when I came to embrace a fellow achiever's Awesome journey as something that I personally considered near and dear to my heart, that I thought : "Why not have her on the podcast as well...?" ...

I've often mentioned on and off the air how these conversations are born just as much from my curiosity to get to see the world from guests' perspective as they are from my willingness to learn a thing or two from their impactful experience. This conversation was no different. I've wanted to have Vincent Gutta on the program for some time now. With over a decade of expertise as High-Level Real Estate Broker, Vincent has the kind of energy that is impossible to ignore.  Always a kind smile, always the impeccable gentleman, truly laser-focused on his goals and ferociously dedicated to serving his clients' needs...Vince is a true champion as example of living one's best Life...and he does it, as you'll soon find out...by simply and consistently saying Yes! This was quite the heartfelt conversation, filled with touching insights, practical tips and even some fun routines which you'll d...

When you see people you respect and admire accomplish great things while living their purpose along the way, it matters that you not only let them know but to also genuinely celebrate these accomplishments along with them. It is admittedly amazing to witness all the great new things my next guest has been up to since her last appearance on the podcast. On this energy-filled episode, we take the time to not only catch up, but also cover a variety of topics ranging from the power of affirmation to the importance of prioritizing one's self...something she's more than qualified to speak on. As a Certified Life Coach , Speaker, Dance Instructor, Podcaster , Activist, Wife and Mother, Emmanuelle Georges is an example of what powerful ambition and purpose-driven action can lead to. Emmy is a woman of tremendous energy and kindness and it was thrill to have her back on on the program. You can connect with Emmanuelle via her Instagram pa...

© Chris Romain (IG: @chrisromain) All Rights Reserved One of the truest and most amazing things about this journey is the incredible conversations and wonderful insights I get to experience from these awesome people who accept my invitation to sit down and share their story and time. Most often, these people are genuinely new to my circle and these recordings are often the first interactions we get to have with each other. But, on some instances, some of these amazing guests are people whose work I've been a fan of for a really long time. And it's a pretty awesome treat when they say "Yes" to be on the program. A wildly inspired Photographer, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist... Christopher Durst has had an incredible impact on me over the years. Through what I can only describe as a sense purpose and drive, Christopher's message of overall body of work expresses a perspective that has always resonated with me over the years.
