The Conscious PIVOT Podcast

Pivoting Into Peace, Connection & Our Gifts with Dr. Anita Sanchez

I’m blessed to know so many people who are sharing amazing gifts in the world and serving so many. Today’s guest, Dr. Anita Sanchez, is one of those people. Anita is a fellow TLC member and an inspiration to us all. She talks about her pivot story: from giving up hope after many years in corporate diversity and inclusion work, to the realization that we cannot just sit around complaining about the world. To create what we want…. we have to do MORE of it. Together, we talk about peace, connection, and the power of presence in receiving our gifts.

Shifting the “Price of Success” Paradigm with Cathy Demers

On today’s podcast, I introduce a new friend who truly embodies the meaning of a successful “PIVOT by design”: Cathy Demers, founder and CEO of BusinessSuccess.com. Cathy shares her pivot from the “pressure cooker” of a publicly traded company (that she founded and took public) to a business she loves and the blessing of being a lifestyle entrepreneur. Cathy’s struggle with a stress-based illness and the often conflicting interests of corporate life, drove her determination to conquer how to become successful in business, without paying the prices she previously paid. She too dismisses the myth of “balance”, and instead advocates for taking a longer term approach to holding a vision, redefining what success means, and then “relaxing into it”. Cathy and I also talk about success rituals and the creative tension between wanting to build something really big and exciting - and enjoying the process along the way.

Health is one of the MOST important elements of a PIVOT. And, it is one of the MOST neglected. I'm excited to introduce you to Eric Edmeades, someone from whose research, philosophy, and mission I've personally benefited. Eric and I discuss the "first principle of business": Getting your body right, what it takes to really make that happen, and the impact of, in Eric's own terms, a medical education system that doesn't focus at all on food and a food manufacturing system that doesn't focus on health. Eric credits his incredibly eclectic business successes to his own major health pivot in his early 20's and a later recognition that changed his life forever and fostered his mission to bring great health to so many others. Eric Edmeades is an internationally recognized business speaker, film producer and serial entrepreneur. Eric’s varied business background includes mobile computing, medical simulation, augmented reality gaming, 3D camera engineering and Hollywood special effects. Eric is also the founder of WildFit and the creator of both Inception Marketing™ and Business Freedom™ -- a business ownership methodology that empowers you to own a business that doesn’t own you.
