#170 Daniel Costa Gil - Against all odds: A tale of loss, love, and Resilience 1:51:46

1 year之前1:51:46

1:51:46

In this profoundly moving episode of The Unconventionalists podcast, Mark Leruste sits down with Daniel Costa Gil, a man whose life story embodies the very essence of human resilience and hope. Born as the youngest of four brothers in South Africa, our guest this week is the sole survivor of a family that faced an unimaginable cascade of tragedies. From the heart-wrenching loss of his parents and siblings to facing life's harshest challenges alone, his journey is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. In an intimate conversation, Daniel shares for the first time the harrowing details of his childhood - marked by the sudden loss of his father, a renowned psychologist, to suicide and the devastating struggles of his mother, a dedicated doctor who through a series of tragic events, found herself in a situation that led her to her darkest hour. The episode takes a deep dive into the fateful day that changed everything, when a crisis led to an unimaginable family tragedy that would forever change the course of Daniel's life. Yet, amidst this backdrop of sorrow and loss, Daniel's story is not one of despair. It's a narrative of incredible strength, love, and an unyielding belief in the possibility of a brighter tomorrow. He opens up about the challenges of overcoming the complex emotions surrounding his mother's actions on November 13th, 1998, and the heartbreak of losing his last remaining brother during the global pandemic. His message is clear and powerful: Life happens for us, not to us. In this episode, Daniel eloquently shares how he transformed his pain into his purpose, helping others navigate their journeys of grief, guilt and shame into transforming into their authentic self and expression. When shit hits the fan and your world turns upside down, Daniel is the man you call. Join us for a life-changing episode that's more than just a story - it's an exploration of the depths of grief and the heights of human resilience. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is a light of hope that never goes out. Daniel Costa Gil ( www.danielcostgil.com ) is a graduate of my Own Your Story programme.

#169 Donald Miller - How a Fatherless Boy Built a $15M Empire & Transformed His Life Story 53:08

1 year之前53:08

53:08

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of The Unconventionalists podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to bring you an exclusive interview with the incredible Donald Miller, CEO of Business Made Simple and StoryBrand, and the author of 13 transformative books. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Don on the eve of Thanks Giving and dive into the myriad of questions I had about his various books. From asking about his memoirs such as Blue Like Jazz (that stayed a New York Times Bestseller for 40 weeks) to some of my favourite business books he wrote like "Hero on a Mission", "Building a StoryBrand" or "Marketing Made Simple", we talked about what it takes to build a successful business and create a meaningful life. If you've never heard about Don before today, you're going to love his story: A fatherless boy from southern Texas raised by a struggling single mother, who grew up poor standing in line for government cheese and who through a series of events and guidance ends up writing books and manages to go from being an author with a virtual assistant to running a $15m company with 40 employees impacting hundreds of thousands of lives. You wouldn’t know by looking at him but Don also used to weigh 387lbs (175.5kgs) and lost 200lbs (90.7kgs)! Which is an incredible feat. When screenwriters wanted to turn his breakout book Blue Like Jazz into a film they realised they needed to edit his life to make it more interesting. That’s when Don realised that we can all have a more meaningful and fulfilling life by being intentional to treat our lives like a compelling story. Don’s super power is to take complex concepts or ideas and to explain them in a really simple way, be it religion, life or business. Alex Hormozi is a fan and so am I. From Don's backstory to his thoughts on what it takes to build a successful business and create a life of meaning to what is desperately missing in the narative to resolve the Israel - Palestine conflict, this episode is going to blow your mind. I genuinely can't wait for you to listen to this episode! 🙏 SPONSORS This week’s episode of The Unconventionalists podcast was brought to you by: Storycast: www.storycast.co - Learn how to turn your story into a powerful asset that gets noticed Donald Miller’s website: https://www.donaldmiller.com Business Made Simple - businessmadesimple.com Twitter - twitter.com/donaldmiller Instagram - instagram.com/donaldmiller Facebook - facebook.com/donaldmillerwords David Gentiles’s Obituary : https://eu.statesman.com/story/news/2012/09/23/beliefs-big-and-small-paint-picture-of-pastors-life/9886546007/ GET IN TOUCH WITH MARK Website: www.markleruste.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/markleruste YouTube: www.youtube.com/markleruste Facebook: www.facebook.com/markleruste Twitter: www.twitter.com/markleruste LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/markleruste…

This meant that people sometimes bought 10, 20 or 30 copies at a time. Which may have contributed to Amazon UK panicking and thinking the increase in purchases were down to bots trying to bring the website down... Also, Mark mentioned "Ben Keene" attending his official book launch, but he actually meant "Ben Coomber"! The correct link to Ben Coomber's new book is included in the show notes above.…

#162 How to become indistractable and finally reach your goals with Nir Eyal 54:27

3 years之前54:27

54:27

In this week's episode of The Unconventionalists podcast, I sit down with Nir Eyal, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of "Hooked" and "Indistractable”, investor, consultant and public speaker to find out the number one reason why people don’t achieve their goals and what we can do to become hyper focused and indistractable. It’s a powerful conversation that I hope will be as much of a game changer to you as it was to me. Nir’s book “Indistractable”is one of my favourite books I read in 2021 and I just knew I had to get him on the podcast to better understand what truly drives us to do what we do. As you will hear in our conversation, it turns out that 90% of the problem with distraction has nothing to do with technology or external factors, it has everything to do with our internal triggers. Plato, the Greek philosopher was complaining about distraction 2,500 years ago! That’s why Nir believes that conventional advice towards becoming less distracted is silly. Instead of focusing on trying to get rid of our smart phones we must first learn how to manage our internal triggers that drive our behaviour. That’s right, most distractions begin from within. Nir argues that it’s our desire to escape discomfort, or as he calls them internal triggers, be it boredom, loneliness, fatigue, uncertainty, stress or anxiety, this is why we’re looking for escape. Whether it’s too much news, too much booze or too much Facebook we’re going to look for distraction if we don’t know how to deal with those integral triggers. “The only way to handle distraction is to learn how to handle pain.” Nir Eyal My favourite takeaway was that time management is actually pain management and that self-compassion may be the most underrated hack to productivity. Who knew that trying to stop the urge to do something was the very reason why we end up doing the very thing we don’t want to do (I know, very meta!). This is a juicy conversation you won’t want to miss as we also dive deeper into Nir’s process to write binge-worthy books that people can’t stop talking about. As always I can’t wait to hear what you got out of today’s conversation, so please get in touch and let me know! Be true, be brave, be kind and let it rip. Mark IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN The number one reason why people don’t achieve their goals (this will blow your mind) Why technology may not be the problem to our inability to focus (hello 2,500 year old problem) Why self-compassion is the ultimate productivity hack Understanding the root cause vs the proxy cause of our behaviour (and why it matters) And how to differentiate the voice of doubt (i.e. impostor syndrome) with the voice of reason (healthy self-awareness) THIS WEEK'S EPISODE WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Become The Spotlight ( www.becomethespotlight.com ): Discover your Profile Score and improve your ability to impact the world with your message SHOWNOTES www.theunconventionalists.com/episode/162…

#159 How to stop procrastinating and start inspiring with Georgina Vestey 46:37

3 years之前46:37

46:37

In 1976 the film Rocky was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won three, including best picture, making its writer and lead role, Sylvester Stallone, a star. It also went on to become the highest-grossing movie of the year. Now there's a reason why Rocky stole the show...we LOVE a good story! Especially a story involving an underdog who against all odds finds a way to win the day. Who despite all their fears, doubts and everyone second guessing them along the way, manages to push through adversity, overcome challenges and come out swinging, punching way above their weight. Georgie, just like Rocky, was an underdog. As a one woman-band independent podcaster, Georgie Vestey had little to no chance to get nominated let alone win the most prestigious podcasting award in the country. And yet, Georgie's podcast " Dead Honest " ended up being nominated for "Best Interview Podcast" at the British Podcast Awards 2021 and was up against media juggernauts including Channel 4 and The Guardian, all fighting for gold. Well, just like Rocky, Georgie shocked the world and came out with her hand raised. But she didn't stop there... Today Georgie was announced as the winner of a prestigous European Lovie Awards, a ceremony celebrating the best of European internet, which is a pretty big deal. The crazy thing is, Georgie almost never pressed published on her podcast. This is the story of how a perfectionist procrastinator became an award-winning podcaster and inspired thousands of independent podcasts to keep fighting the good fight. No matter what your goals are, I hope that you get inspired by my conversation with Georgie to get started on your journey to impact too. I can't wait to hear what you got out of it over on social media @markleruste or over on www.theunconventionalists.com ! Be brave, be true, be kind and let it rip.

Emily Gindlesparger is the Head of Book Coaching at Scribe Media who over the last 12 months has been supporting me on and off with my emotional struggle of writing my book via a group coaching programme. As a ghost-writer, book coach and currently writing her memoire, Emily is uniquely positioned to unpack the emotional yo-yo journey of writing a book and what to do about it. "So often when I see authors grapple with the question of, 'I don’t know what book to write?' the real thing that is going on is, 'I have many books that I can write and I’m afraid of all of them, and I’m especially afraid of making the decision as to which one to pursue now'. Because it shuts down all the possibility of the others. - Emily Gindlesparger This is one of my favourite conversations to date as we go deep into the relationship to shame, trauma and overcoming self doubt. Whether you're looking to write your book or not you will get a TON of value out of my powerful conversation with Emily.

#147 The role of soul in business with Duke Stump 1:04:20

4 years之前1:04:20

Duke Stump's goal is to obsolete Harvard Business School. As an economics major playing hockey at Vermont University who loved philosophy and nature, Duke was learning all about business. But at the same time he's watching Ben & Jerry's down the road dismantle everything he's learning in the classroom about what it means to be in business. Through compassion, vulnerability, courage and honesty, Duke believes in challenging the status quo and daring to play in completely different jet streams. Today, Duke loves building bonfires with soul: powerful, emotionally charged brands that stand for something meaningful in the world. Recently cited by Forbes as one of the top 50 Game-Changing CMO’s, Duke has spent the last 30+ years helping to build iconic global brands (NIKE, Seventh Generation, lululemon). In addition, he has served in BOD and mentor roles with The Biomimicry Institute, 21c Hotels, Unreasonable Group, Healthy Child Healthy World and Love Your Brain. A lover of nature, slow food, horsemanship and yoga, Duke and his family live on a small ranch in idyllic Ojai, CA along with horses, dogs, cats and chickens. This is a powerful conversation about embracing change, the unknown and being open to what may be. Especially when it's scary.

#146 Why we need to build a more equal world for all with Vanessa Belleau 1:04:54

4 years之前1:04:54

1:04:54

When George Floyd was killed in 8min and 46 seconds on May 25th, 2020 by a Minneapolis police officer in the middle of the streets, which was captured on camera by bystanders, the world broke out with shock and anger. What followed was a social media storm to attempt to raise awareness yet again on the historical and systematic racism across not just America, but across the world. While well-intended individuals and businesses decided to post a black image on their social media feeds in protest and use hashtags to raise awareness, much more was needed to address the bigger issue at heart. Someone decided to continue to focus on solutions by providing even more support and direction to people and companies. Her name is Vanessa Belleau. Vanessa Belleau, a French Caribbean native who has called London her home for the past sixteen years, is the Founder of High Fifteen ltd, delivering future-proofing Insights and diverse strategies to businesses along with executive coaching to individuals. Thanks to her honest & vulnerable approach, joyful nature and her "#TeamTooMuch" personality, Vanessa is an in-demand Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging consultant for SMEs and major brands such as Levi's, LVMH Group and Gymshark. So when I had an opportunity to sit down with Vanessa to talk about race and why we can all do a little bit better to narrow the equality gap, I was both moved and touched by her personal stories and grateful for her insights and tips on how to navigate the conversation about race. As always, if you enjoyed today's episode please share it with one friend or colleague who needs to hear this conversation. Alone we may struggle but together we can change the world. And as always it starts with having the conversations we need to have and act with intent to create a more equal world for all.

#145 The real reason you haven't written that book yet with Tucker Max 1:28:59

1:28:59

*Deep breath* This special episode of The Unconventionalists podcast with Tucker Max, 4x New York Times Bestselling Author and Co-Founder of Scribe Media who has sold over 4 million copies of his books, is by far the most vulnerable and raw episode I've released to date. As you will see, sh*t got deep, real fast. The interviewer became the interviewee as Tucker coached and helped me realise just how much some of my childhood trauma has been getting in the way of me writing me next non-fiction book. It's raw, it's uncomfortable and yet I know this is the kind of conversations that made me want to start The Unconventionalists podcast back in 2015. We talked about what you can do to get over your limiting beliefs and why the very reason you're struggling with writing your book is the very reason why you need to write that book. We also talked about how every single author you know struggles with the same doubts and insecurities as you do. It's a universal experience of being human. Trust me, if you've been thinking of writing a book but are currently stuck or procrastinating with no end in sight, this episode is for you. In this episode you will learn why writing a book is not about knowing the ins and outs of how to actually write a book, but rather, why it's about facing your feelings and emotions that every author dreads to face. But as Joseph Campbell once said, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” Tucker even shares his own personal journey and what has helped him to date get over some of his childhood trauma as well as read parts of his personal journal on what he sees for 2021. ⚠️ Warning: this episode contains descriptions of sexual violence and strong language that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion advised as not suitable for children. I really can't wait to read your comments on this powerful conversation and more importantly, learn what you're taking away and will implement to transform your life and business. If you found this conversation helpful, please share it with one friend who needs to hear this to move forward with their book (or creative project). Thank you and here's to being willing to be vulnerable in public.
