Unbecoming With Phoebe Mroczek

Some of the most difficult moments in life can also become the most beautiful. Our guest, Raj Jana, was living an ordinary life when he received the devastating news that would change his life forever. Since that time, he built and scaled his company from $0 to 6-figures per month in the first 12 months, while growing the company 400-800% in top-line revenue every year. Not only that, but he has created a podcast and built a community around helping people stay grounded through weekly tips, insights, stories and habits. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live a life of curiosity, purpose and intentionality. And if you’ve ever been told to “follow your passion,” you’ll want to tune in to hear why Raj finds that advice ineffective and misleading.   For more with Raj about building a successful, sustainable business with actionable tips about what metrics to track, what is working NOW, how to avoid the most common video mistakes and MORE, listen to our After Hours segment with Raj: www.unbeco

We spend most of our time on the wrong things. Sure, it's important to have the right strategy for your business - to get the right messaging to deliver the right product to the right audience. However, what most people don't talk about is taking the right action. In this episode, I share with you a personal story about what it means to take bold action in hopes that it inspires you to do the same. More often than not, the biggest transformation comes NOT in the outcome of the action but rather in the decision - the decision to do whatever it takes because your dreams are worth pushing past the short-lived discomfort.   **Links Mentioned** To access your FREE Episode Integration Guide, visit www.unbecomingpodcast.com/92 To vote for our SXSW panel before August 23, please visit www.unbecomingpodcast.com/south    

While some people view their name in lights, crowds cheering and taking the stage as the ultimate goal or dream life, our guest today has a different take on the whole thing. Jon Vroman, award-winning speaker, #1 bestselling author of The Front Row Factor, podcast host and founder of The Front Row Foundation, has set out on a mission to inspire others to Live Life In The Front Row™ by teaching the art of moment making. In this episode, we discuss what subtle but significant shift he recently made that has impacted every area of his life and how you can do the same. He opens up about his closest relationships and the ONE question to ask that will help you cultivate deeper friendships with a higher level of integrity. Settling in life is one of the most dangerous default settings you can select. That's why Jon shares why and HOW to be more intentional about the actions, habits, communication and relationships we create.   * All the tips, tools, recommendations and resources for this episode can be found at www.

Rarely do I feel the need to call people out, but I simply couldn't help myself. This episode is dedicated to the gentleman who recently asked to pick my brain... I am a firm believer in asking for what you want and creating opportunities by building meaningful relationships. (In fact, I recorded an entire episode about it - check out episode #75.) But I think we've gotten a little carried away. This week, we're dissecting a question I get asked regularly: "Can I pick your brain?" In this episode, we talk about why you and I have accepted those invitations in the past, what it says about us + them and what you can do instead to achieve the same result. It shouldn't need to be said, but here we are. If ya don't know, now ya know. And ultimately, if you're looking to get ahead in business, this is an episode you don't want to miss.   *LINKS MENTIONED* Click here to vote for Phoebe's SXSW Panel: unbecomingpodcast.com/south Click here to book in for YOUR 10-min call: unbecomingpodcast.com/ten

In this episode of Unbecoming, I talk to adventurer extraordinaire, Alastair Humphreys, who has walked across southern India, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, run six marathons through the Sahara desert, completed a crossing of Iceland, busked through Spain and participated in an expedition in the Arctic, close to the magnetic North Pole. So what happens when the ultimate adventurer is tired of seeking the next bigger, better thing? What does he do when he’s ticked all the big things off his bucket list? Falls behind on his book-a-year commitment after 11 years? Or wants to settle down and raise a family? Find out on this episode.   This is one of the most exhilarating interviews to date.

In this segment, you'll learn how a diverse career can actually help you be more strategic, creative and successful. Q2: "When you are so inspired and confident that you feel yourself being pulled in several directions; What is a solid way to streamline and/or consolidate those aspirations, goals and business ideas?" As someone with a lot of ideas, I know what it feels like to want to do it all at once but actually either stalling or treading water. I broke down the exact process I used to help me become more clear and focused.

If you’ve fallen off the wagon, feel stuck, directionless or dissatisfied with your current progress or momentum, this episode is for you. Around this time, most people start reevaluating their progress or taking inventory on their goals. What I keep hearing from Unbecoming community members or peers is that they are less than pleased. If you're feeling like you're not on track, you’ve fallen off the wagon or are bumping up against resistance, I can appreciate the associated feelings of disappointment, frustration and confusion.

If that’s what you're after, listen up!

If you have ever felt frustrated by your lack of motivation towards a specific project or action, this episode is for you. On one hand, we hear a lot of talk about inspiration and motivation, or that we need to just "push through." On the other, we hear about the ominous "limiting beliefs" that keep us playing small. Limiting beliefs are not a new concept. In fact, most people attribute their lack of success and fulfillment to one key word, phrase, pattern or belief and constantly search for the right tool, coach or program to eliminate it. Well, what if I told you that it's impossible to eliminate or remove that block or belief forever? That is what Mark Crandall, LMSW, LCDC, is here to do. Mark is a therapist, transformational life and business coach, keynote speaker, author of Embrace Your Past Win Your Future and the host of Purpose Chasers Podcast. In this episode, Mark shares his belief is that we don't actually need more motivation and reveals what happens when you get out of the scarcity mindset and c

What happens after a big victory in your business or life? (Or when you hit record numbers on the podcast?!)

They say the only thing that is constant is change. A lot of things in our lives change constantly – things like relationships, career, goals, and even family. Along with those changes, our self-image or identity can also shift. Anthony Trucks is a serial entrepreneur with one serious superpower – the power to navigate life’s shifts, good and bad, with grace and optimism. He joins us to talk about the identity shifts he had to make that brought him from former foster child to pro athlete to now one of the most highly regarded speakers and trainers in his industry.
