I was introduced to Sunniva by show favorite, Regan Hillyer who appeared on Episode #31, so I knew that she was going to be a great fit for the show, and she hit it out of the park (sorry, for the baseball analogy, but I still pumped about the Toronto Blue Jays postseason success). Sunniva Hold is a serial entrepreneur, property developer, coach, speaker, social media queen and author of "The Hustle Life" (a must read). She is also a self-made multi-millionaire by the age of 30, and uses her expertise to teach people around the world how to accelerate their levels of successful results and outcomes from a stockpile of experience across multiple business and wellness related disciplines. Like many of the guests of the show Sunniva broke the traditional mold of working your 9-to-5 to start what has become a real estate empire. There are so many great life lessons throughout this interview that you can apply to your life immediately. One of the most interesting stories, is how Sunniva found a way to create an in

Have you ever had a moment in your life, where you had this voice inside your head trying to guide you? You have two options - ignore and accept the outcome (and usually end up kicking yourself for 'not trusting your gut'), or embrace it and 'follow your heart'... This episode's guest has made a living from listening to these voices and helping people to communicate with spirits. When Laura first reached out to me, I was so drawn to her work. Honestly, I think everyone I know has a ghost story or two, so naturally, I had to ask about how she realized she had this skill and then more importantly when she realized the value in it - Laura's answer blew me away. Laura had known she had the ability to connect with spirits from an early age, but she feared the criticism that would come along with sharing her gift (something I think many of us relate to). Over the course of her career, she held numerous jobs, but she always felt like she had a greater calling and shortly after the financial collapse of 2008, she too

How a trip into the jungle completely changed Jacqui Greene's life "Find someone in your life that is going to keep you accountable and stop procrastinating..." There's a recurring theme amongst my show guests about taking action and when Jacqui Greene met a crossroads in her life she decided to take a trip into the jungle to find out who she really was. In her introduction, Jacqui shares what led to her decision, but more importantly how choosing to take that trip - even though it was dangerous - led to an awakening and inspired her to write her first book; "Fast Track Your Success: The 23 Fundamentals of Network Marketing" which is being followed up by "90 Days of Meditation ~ A journey of self-discovery." After realising that where I was in life, was not where I wanted to continue to be I took the steps to change my life around and I am now living the life of my dreams; helping and inspiring people to find their inner confidence, that spark inside to enable them to confidently take the steps they need to,

How to break free from the 9-to-5 and find a fulfilling career "80% of our worries will never come true - Richard Phu @UManCoaching When I was researching Richard Phu before this interview, I was instantly drawn to his content.

Richard is an International Best-Selling Author, International Speaker, Mindset Coach and Podcast Host. He helps transform Achievers who feel behind in life to become unstoppable to reach the next level. In this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast, we discuss Richard's journey of how built The Ultimate Man over a 4 year period while working in an unfulfilling corporate job.

Fortunately, Richard shares how he broke free and how finding a mentor helped him get to the next level. What you will learn in t

"You don't need permission to be who you are" - BJ Harrison When I was doing my research for this interview I wasn't really sure what to expect. The story that BJ Harrison shared with me during this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit podcast, really surprised me. It is one of the most unexpecting professions you could possibly think of when it comes to the world of online business. BJ Harrison mastered by simply taking his love for classic literature took his love for classic literature and turned it into a podcast called "Classic Tales," BJ Harrison created the "Classic Tales" podcast as a way of sharing his love for classic literature with the world - what he didn't expect was that simple decision to take action would lead to a full-time business reading for Audible! His path to success was something you would hear out of the best entrepreneurial stories (read the full story here); "I borrowed a computer from my stepbrother Dane. My good friend Dave loaned me his old recording equipment, and showed me how

"Feel the fear and do it anyways" - Joe Saul-Sehy, Host of Stacking Benjamins Podcast I have a big confession to make... Before recording this episode, I was really struggling with what was next with The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast, do I continue, do I pack it in, do I take some time off? Fortunately, I interviewed Joe Saul-Sehy, and was instantly motivated by his story. "At age 40 I sold my successful business...even though things were going really well. I was inspired by a mentor who was actually younger than me who said, "I have other mountains to climb." He then literally went and climbed Everest twice. I decided to become a school teacher, which morphed into a financial blogger, which led to the podcast. A year ago I dumped ALL the other stuff to focus on the podcast and it's been a fantastic move." What I surprised me in this interview, was the fact that Joe created another podcast with every intention to "kill it." He knew that he had no idea what he was doing when it came to launching a podcast, so i

I had an opportunity to talk with Matt McWilliams a few times before having him on the podcast, as well as participating in a number of affiliate launches for some of his clients. For those of you who don't know what an affiliate launch is, he explains it around the 5-minute mark of this episode, but for those reading, it is essentially a team of people (affiliates) who are paid a commission for promoting your product. Matt's story blew me away because the big aha moment when he knew he needed to build his own business came down to a purple sweater! Most of his life, Matt dreamed of becoming a professional golfer. Something he did accomplish, but not something someone could live on, at least not well. When he was a kid, he and his close friend Hunter, often joked about how terrible it would be to fail at professional golf and end up teaching golf lessons to elderly women wearing purple sweaters...well as you can guess by the title of this show, that day came and it set off a chain of events for Matt that turn

Normally, when I interview guests, there is a typical pattern that goes something like this; they went to school, graduated from university, realized they picked the wrong career and hate the field they are in, and then quit to pursue their passion. Today could not be further from that pattern! Today's guest opens with a story about finding love, or so she thought and being left to fend for herself and her children with absolutely nothing - literally begging for just enough money to be passed under the basement door - where she had been relegated too - just to eat. This level of pain led her to an incredibly dark place, where at times she contemplated suicide just so she and her kids wouldn't have to suffer... That pain led to one of the biggest revelations, and what is now a 6-figure business. Milena Cerin is a coach, speaker, and best-selling author. She has built her business on the ashes of personal tragedy and built a 6 figure business in 3 years. She believes living life on purpose is what brings happin

When I doing the research for this interview, I was so humbled by Jordan's story... At the age of 31, Jordan suffered from 2 strokes - 2 strokes! The same day I interviewed Jordan I was complaining about my 1 1/2 hour commute and this interview was EXACTLY what I needed to help me reset my thinking - to be grateful for the gifts I have, and the gifts I have to share with others. What was even more surprising, was how Jordan kept his focus on building his business to teach people how to play guitar... After years of being told that I could never make a living with music, I combined my passion for guitar, love of working with others into a full time career.

The very first time I had an opportunity to talk with Celeste, I was completely blown away by how positive her attitude was. For most of us, we avoid starting a business because "someone is already doing it", or "that's a crowded market"... For this episode's guest, she didn't care - she just went for it 110%! She is the youngest entrepreneur we have had on this show and at 19 years old, has already built an exploding business by sharing her passion for fitness and mindset. She didn't even think about how competitive the online health space was - she just knew that she was passionate about how health, fitness and, the right mindset changed her life and she was going to share the gift with the world. Within the first 30 seconds of the show, you will be shocked at how much wisdom she has already accumulated as an entrepreneur. What she shares in the episode is something you would expect from someone with 20+ years of experience. What you will learn in this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast: >How to ad

After having the opportunity to Interview Nick Steele about how he got out of Las Vegas and living from one payday loan to another to find happiness in his career, my mind was blown! His story could easily be made into a Hollywood Romantic Comedy or prequel to "This is 40"...(Seth Rogan as the lead obviously...) In this interview, Nick shares an incredibly intimate story about how he got his start in radio, met his future wife and how rolling the dice and submitting a resume with Superman in the background completely turned his life around. That choice led to finding real happiness, and marrying his wife and now current c0-host at 101.9 The Wolf in Sacramento.
