Igniting Souls Podcast With Kary Oberbrunner

The Elixir Project Book came out three years ago and it was a big dream of mind to get it on the big screen. A few months ago, Sophie, an amazing screenwriter, reached out to me and wanted to write the screenplay. She delivered the screen play recently, and I was blown away. We are making final edits and have a timeline set. We have some famous screen readers that are planning to read it, and we'll be shopping it around in March. She had an idea to have the tribe be in the movie. What do you think? Do you want to be in the movie? I'll keep you posted over the next few months.

Twice in the last two weeks, someone has come up to me and told me I blew it. I am so glad they told me because I can only fix what I know is wrong. Within 15 minutes of me finding out, both situations were fixed. I prefer that to sweeping it under the rug or building it up and blowing. I'm learning just like you.

The other day I was doing a job interview as we're adding folks to our staff. The interview was going well then she started asking me questions. I asked my associate Abigail to tell her my weaknesses and blind spots, and Abigail shared them. Find out what she said. Be secure enough to know you can get better. https://www.yoursecretname.com

Kanye West has been making news lately with his new album. I like it. I think this album took a lot of courage. In the last few months we've seen big Christian leaders fall and we've seen celebrities that we think are far from God have a spiritual awakening. I find the faith I hear in Kanye's songs more of a pure type of faith. It's refreshing and exciting. Following God just makes sense. None of us is beyond Go'd saving grace .

We live in an online world where everything is digital. But there's just something about meeting face-to-face. You pick up on things that you don't pick up on when you're on Zoom — eye contact, appearance, body language. I know there's a cost to fly across the country, but it can be worth it. Use the most intense form of connection you can. Don't put people on the back burner. To find out more, join us at Igniting Souls Conference 2020 at https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

What's preventing you from sharing your message? Every year after our conference I get this cold sore. I don't stop doing video because of it. I've had amazing chats with people this week, regardless of the cold sore. The video is not about you. When you create content, you are helping other people. Don't let your insecurities prevent you from sharing your message. If I wouldn't have done those videos when I have a cold sore, I would have prevented life change in others. It's time for you to step on a bigger stage.

Should you ever do a beta launch for your course? This is a common question. My answer is no. We only do beta launch courses because of low self confidence — because we're scared to launch a course and charge people money for it because we don't think it's good enough. If you beta launch, you will attract people who aren't vested. Their hearts are not in it. So there won't be any transformation. It's a cycle that's not helpful. Instead, when the course doesn't perform like you want it to, own it and fix it. Over deliver. We have over 15 products that are crushing it and none of them have ever been beta launched.  For more on how to charge what you're worth, go to https://www.dayjobtodreamjob.com and get your free book and masterclass.

Usually I'm the guy that tells my students to go for it and take risks and action. Today, I was blown away by an email I received. I entered my three-year-old Elixir Project book in a contest for young adult authors. And I Won! It goes to prove that sometimes you have to do the things that you tell others to do.  To check out Elixir Project, get your free book at https://elixirprojectbook.com/

The other day I got an email that said, "Stop the spammy sales techniques." They were concerned because we say there are a limited number of seats on our webinars. I set up a Facebook Live for our tribe and addressed it head on. The loyalty in the tribe exploded. When situations come up, real leaders don't ignore it.

I find a weird satisfaction in raking leaves. After going, going and going the last few weeks, I needed a time to reset. Sometimes we think every day needs to be this massive achievement. Sometimes the mundane is good for our bodies and our brains. It's a great way to reset.  I don't work out every day or read my Bible every day. After years of ritualism, instead I need rhythms. 

Often times I say when you prepare for the moment, the moment is prepared for you. Life has a way of revealing what is inside us through trials and tribulations. But if you do the deep work, you will be prepared. 

I'm standing outside of one of the most famous places where dreams come true. I often tell people they need to wake up in order to dream. A lot of us are sleep walking through life. They're stuck in a system and are lulled to sleep.  People are going to try to squash you and your dreams but we all have a dream planted inside of us. It's time to wake up and dream.

I'm at the Igniting Souls Conference, and I asked the crowd to speak words of life to one another. I see people in tears because it's been so long since they've heard these things. There are two times when people speak words of life to other people: when they're dead or when they're retiring. But you can't do much with those words at those times. I challenge you to speak words of life to someone else.

I am here with my friend Helen, an award-winning author of the book The Red Road Home. She's from Israel. Hear her experience speaking at the Igniting Souls Conference. The magic of this conference is the people.  You need to speak to your audience and don't worry about those who don't get you. If you do that, you'll the people right in front of you.

We are getting ready to start our work out before the Igniting Souls Conference. Why? Because we can all grow through pain. Don't be afraid of pain.

The Igniting Souls Conference is going on right now, and I'm in my hotel room. I'm prepping for this afternoon. That's how much I trust the team.It's easy to think that everything rises and falls on you. If it does, you don't know how to grow your team very well and you're not going to be able to make an impact.

Your conference will never outperform you team.You need to get your team together early to go over everything so there are no surprises.

I see a trend on social media where you can tell someone is emotionally hungry. When you feel hungry in life, rather than expressing those needs, cook for someone else. Don't ask others to feed you. Dig deep and give what you have and you will be filled. Find out more at https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

I'm going through the final preparations for Igniting Souls Conference. I don't like meetings. But if we know what we want the outcome to be, it's different. Don't have a meeting if there's not a clear win. When you meet, walk or stand. It tends to shorten the meeting. Join us for the 2020 Igniting Souls Conference.
