009: Bold

Host, Mike Domitrz, welcomes CAST members Rick Clemons, Jen Rulon, Jill Schiefelbein, and Darren Tipton to discuss boldness. Today’s topic was inspired by the quote by Johan Van Gogh, “Whatever you do or dream you can do. Begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.”Sharing their individual bold moments leads the group to unpack what being bold means, and possible underlying incentives for boldness. For some, weighing out worst case scenarios and fear are motivating factors to move beyond the status quo. Others find boldness an inherent quality that only needs the right catalyst to bring it out into the light.After listening to the conversation, share your bold moments on The Everyday Mindfulness Show Facebook page.Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show. Key Takeaways:[2:48] Mike asks the CAST where they first remember being bold in their lives.[7:23] How do you recognize where or when you need to be bold?[10:25] What does boldness, or to be bold, mean to each member of the group?[15:31] Is boldness an individual trait based on perception?[18:58] Boldness strategies — taking the first step.[25:22] Being authentic is the epitome of bold. Rick Clemons is the Author of Frankly My Dear I’m Gay, Host of The Coming Out Lounge podcast, certified life coach, TEDx Speaker, world record holder, and a guy who’s helped 1,000’s of people in over 50 countries across the globe come out of the closets of their lives to escape their b******t, explore their fears, and elevate their f*cking self-expression.Rickclemons.comFacebook.com/rickclemonsofficialTwitter.com/RickClemons As a health and fitness expert, Jennifer “Jen” Rulon has inspired, coached, and motivated many athletes to complete from their first sprint triathlon to numerous Ironman Triathlons.
