Success Freaks

Helping Others be Awesome

TOSOL #44 – Fair Weather, Foul Weather – Guest Starring: Danielle Banks

by

Looking for someone to give you that “Pep Talk” to help you trudge on – even when you’re discouraged?  Really?!  Then, WOW, do we have a show for you!  The Weather Channel’s own Danielle Banks joins Mordant & McFall in this riveting hour that kept everyone, including our hosts, mesmerized.

Danielle shares her journey—from interning for a country radio station, reading the news and horoscopes, to becoming a reporter for a small TV station in VA, and on down the tangled highway to where she is now, working on Weather Channel.  Listen as Danielle talks about the good times, the bad, and the defining moment that gave her a new perspective on life.  Strength and courage help us get through the struggles if we just “stay true to ourselves and do the right thing.”

“I’m honored to have the chance to tell people not to give up.  I’ve worked with (and for) some pretty mean-spirited people in this business.  They tried to pull me down and, in the end, they didn’t.  I tell people to stay true to themselves and do the right thing.  Undermining and revenge only works in the movies.  Never burn your bridges….you never know who you will work with again in this business down the line.  In the end, I still believe hard work and patience pays off…although I’m still working on that patience thing!”  Wise words from our guest star, Danielle Banks.

TOSOL #43 – Yesterday You Said Tomorrow

by

What’s it called?  That thing that you do when faced with a task that you really don’t want to do.  When you really need to have that serious talk with a friend, but you put it off.  You want to begin that exercise program, begin that novel, go on a cruise, visit another country, or begin working towards that new career you’ve always wanted.  You always say, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”  What is the word for it?  That’s right, procrastination.  Procrastination must be the simplest and most popular form of self-sabotage known to man.  It keeps us from becoming what we most want to be and, if you think about it, it poisons our dreams.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall tackle a subject we would all like to put off until another day.  With the help of the “Success Freaks” segment, discover why you put some things off as well as ways to overcome these self-imposed procrastinating tendencies.

TOSOL #41 – Make It Happen

by

Everyone has dreams, but often it’s a struggle to achieve them.  Bringing those dreams to fruition takes the courage to believe in yourself, the drive to move forward against the odds, and the ability to seize opportunities as they come your way.

Positive energy sparks contagious enthusiasm in the studio, spills into the chat room, and touches everyone that lends an ear to listen.  Mordant & McFall discuss events in their lives that have motivated them to take Life by the reins and make their dreams a reality.  With the help of this episode’s caller, LaLa Zigfreid, you’ll be inspired to dig deep within yourself and tap that inner strength we all possess to “Make It Happen.”

We all have dreams, but we do not always know how to go about attaining those dreams.  Where do you start?  What do you do?  Who can you count on to help you get where you want to be?  If you want your dreams to become reality, it’s up to you to grab life by the reins and “Make it Happen.”

This episode, the incomparable Rhonni DuBose (aka RhonniRocks) shares her advice—using her own life as example.  In an hour that goes by way too quickly, Rhonni lends insight into her traveling lifestyle, what got her “on the road,” her apprentice beginnings, and her work ethics on her journey to being the “Blissciplined serial entrepreneur…Raw food novice/Culinary savant…Traveler” that she is known as today.

TOSOL #39 – Discovering Plan B

by

 

Benjamin Franklin said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”  The only thing you can truly count on is, at some point, life is going to throw a hiccup into your normal routine that threatens to ruin your day and/or stop you in your tracks.  How will you handle it?  You can panic or…you can use the time to discover your own Plan B.

In a mad-capped hour of pure-adrenaline A.D.D. overload, Mordant & McFall discuss their recent “life hiccups,” share how they overcame said obstacles as well as the things they learned about themselves along the way, all the while bouncing through talk about friends’ new businesses, William Shatner, Glee, “Squirrel Boy,” babies, storms, Instagram, Get Glue, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, exchanging gifts, and anything else that pops into their “amusement-park-ride” brains.  Keep up if you can.  (Ten points for Gryffindor if you can say all that in one breath.)

This month’s Success Freaks segment, Uncovering Your Special Talent, rounds out the hour by letting you figure out what brings you the greatest joy at work and leads you to that success you’ve always dreamed of.

TOSOL #38 – Seizing Opportunity (Guest Starring: Jef “D’Angelo Tortuga” Hall)

by

Life drops all kinds of opportunities in your path.  Sometimes these opportunities are totally different from anything you’ve ever done or dreamed of doing before.  What do YOU do?  Do you stick with the “tried and true”?  Or…do you believe in yourself enough to think outside of your comfort zone and take that chance?

Conversation between Mordant, McFall, caller Shadoe42, and in-studio audience members Jef Hall and Dave Esparza explore these questions and more.

TOSOL #37 – Planting It Forward

by

In tonight’s episode, Mordant & McFall share their views on investing in your own future.  “It’s not just chasing your dreams.  You have to put effort into all aspects of your life so you can reap the rewards…or achieve success.”  Helping others can help you get where you want to be as long as you remember not to spread yourself too thin by taking on more than you can handle.

Talk turns to finding balance in all that you do, having the support of others, being part of a great team, investing in what you believe in, and being able to give, or give back, to those that have helped you along the way.

TOSOL #36 – Cancer & Comedy ~TOSOL AZ Meetup 2012~

by

In this episode of The Other Side of LIVE!, Mordant & McFall guide their listeners through the Darker Side of Chasing Your Dreams—facing devastating road blocks while never giving up.  No matter how many times Life throws you enough curve balls to knock you down…but not out.

[powerpress]

Welcome to the first ever TOSOL MeetUp—held at the Gangplank Studios in Chandler, AZ.  This show, broadcast in front of a LIVE studio audience of five women (and one dog…a real four-legged dog), leaves Mordant “swimming in the estrogen pool” and McFall falling in love with the idea of his own Charlie’s Angels every time the ladies speak in unison.

Safely ensconced in the Bear’s Den in Monticello, GA, McFall discusses his struggles of the day, which leads the studio audience to the unexpected subject of Conquering Cancer.  Strong women with strong words of encouragement show that they can outlive any obstacle…and do so with courage, style, & grace.

In the second half of the show, special Guest Louie Skaradek of The London Broil Show and the Almost Homeless Comedy Tour calls in to impart tips on “Failing Forward” from his own point of view and share his personal experiences as a “stand-up-comic-in-the-making.”  His success is proof that hard work and perseverance can take you anywhere you want to go.
