Kelly Thompson comes from a multi-generation military family. Although, as she describes herself, she was a shy child who nevertheless wanted to follow in her parents’ footsteps and so joined the military at the age of 17. In high school she took military courses as part of her studies.

Even with all that military background in her family and in her studies she says she always wanted to write...

I love the opportunity to have had Dr. Christin Roberson as a guest on Unstoppable Mindset. Christin, like others who we all have met, was born into a military family and spent much of her youth traveling from one place to another. Christin loved the travels and the experiences. Her youth gave her a broad view of people which helped her later as she began a career in higher education...

This past May I was invited to schedule a time to appear on a podcast entitled “A Little Less Fear”. The title intrigued me as you can imagine. As I learned about the host, Lino Martinez, I found that not only did I want to appear on his podcast but that I was certain he would be a wonderful guest here on Unstoppable Mindset. As it turned out, I will be appearing on his podcast later in August and we just today, August 2, 2023, recorded my episode with Lino, (pronounced Leeno)...

As you will hear in this episode, Kristin Smedley grew up and lived her first thirty years or so as a list-maker and planner. She literally planned everything and she was successful at it. Well, she was until literally one day everything changed. In January 2000 she gave birth to her first son, Michael. When he was eight months old she asked a nurse friend/Michael’s babysitter about the fact that Michael’s eyes seemed not to be focused when he was lying on his back...

This episode of Unstoppable Mindset has been a long time coming as when we tried to record it in June, tech issues got in the way and cut us off after ten minutes. Rick Franzo was kind enough to reschedule and now you get to hear the results. Rick never completed college and instead was drawn to a career in Radio. After five years he progressed to working in the grocery business as a buyer and also he worked in other positions...

I have been a sales professional for most all of my adult life. I love having the opportunity to discuss both sales and even more marketing. Chris Burns is an unstoppable marketing consultant by any standard. During our time he discusses marketing trends and talks with us about what works in marketing today and what does not work. As he points out, marketing is ever-changing and to be the most successful in marketing whatever you need to market you need to change as well...

As I have always told our guests, our time together is a conversation, not an interview. This was never truer than with our guest this time, Andrew Leland. Andrew grew up with what most people would call a pretty normal childhood. However, as he discovered he was encountering night blindness that gradually grew worse. Back in the 1980s and early 90s, he was not getting much support for determining what was happening with his eyes...

I met Rishika Kartik through her father while at a board meeting of the Colorado Center for the Blind. Rishika currently is a sophomore at Brown University.   As you will hear during our conversation, Rishika is extremely articulate. More importantly, she is very curious about almost everything and she loves to learn. She came by these traits honestly through the guidance of her parents...

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to meet so many interesting people who come from such a large and diverse background. Today we get to spend time with Elizabeth Louis. For much of her adult life, Elizabeth worked in the television and entertainment industry. What she didn’t realize until later was that her talents really came from coaching people. She did it as a child, and finally in 2016 she began to do it as a career by leaving all the politics and entertainment infighting behind...
