Episode #84: From $100K in Debt to C-Suite: Shira Miller on Reinventing Remarkable   Shira Miller lost everything in the Great Recession: fancy office, six-figure debt, and her health. Then she stopped apologizing for it. Now she's a C-suite exec, keynote speaker, and author obsessed with one idea: the “remarkable” is already in you, buried under exhaustion and 80,000 daily thoughts (most of them negative). This episode is equal parts science, strategy, and donuts. Come for the comeback story; stay for the cognitive reframing.   In this episode, we cover:   (3:00) Are you really having fun in life? (9:00) A dirty little secret about Dunkin' Donuts.  (12:00) Activate the remarkable! (17:00) Why a reverse bucket list is more rewarding than a typical bucket list.  (22:00) Finding the most resistance when searching for remarkability.  (26:00) Reevaluating the connotation of the word failure.  (30:00) What’s next for Shira?
