In this powerful Momentum Friday episode, John explains how so many of us do. we continuously react to what others are throwing our way, instead of being intentional with our passion. John gives a historical example of a famous American who was leading the pinball life and how he went on to not only discover but live his passion. John breaks down the pinball life concept and provides actionable advice on how to avoid living one. Enjoy!!!  What You Will Learn On The Show

• What makes successful entrepreneurs according to Jim McKelvey
• Story of a young man who goes from poverty to national hero
• John introduces the pinball life concept
• How to avoid living life without intentionality
• Saying yes to the most critical mission in life

Quotes from John R. Miles "You see, a vision is like a porous bucket. And that's why we need to repeat it continuously until it's known by heart and becomes part of our personal character or organizational culture. That is why it is so critical that you get away from living this pinball life and that you start creating a vision for the future that you would like to attain." "Prepare and your chance will come to take your vision for the future and make it a reality. When you say no to 100 other missions, you say yes to the most crucial one there is. And that is exactly the reason I created Passion Struck. To become the catalyst that helps you who are struggling to understand how do you take this idea and take it to action. We can help you with that. We can become that catalyst that helps you take action on your ideas." "Why would you want to live your life like a pinball machine without intentionality and with constant distraction?" "Because by leading a pinball life, we're not creating new innovation. And we're not really practicing vital leadership either. We are living a life that is necessary, but not strategic, valuable, but not value-added. Its indifference or apathy at its pinnacle."

Quotes From Dave Snowden "The role of the leader is coordination, not decision making. And people keep getting that wrong. A good leader never makes a decision, they coordinate people."   "These days nobody should be allowed into any engineering software role without training in ethics because the implications of what we're doing in technology are really scary. And I think the trouble with Facebook, I think less Apple with the Apple vs Facebook confrontation is really interesting. Facebook, has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."   "Knowledge management is interesting, that moment is coming back into play. It is like knowledge management goes through this cycle of being fashionable."   "So this cult of the individual leader, I think is actually deeply worrying because what you get is either a rigid process or this inspirational leader. And that's actually really bad science because most of the time leadership can be distributed." "Facebook has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."    --- Follow Dave Snowden here:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-snowden-2a93b/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/snowded   Website: https://www.cognitive-edge.com/   Managing complexity in times of crisis Field Guide: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC123629   --Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast   -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.

In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses 5 ways you can apply the law of attraction to create success in your life. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message! Did you know that all molecules, whether they are living or not, vibrate at a specific frequency? Sound, light, physical objects, plants, animals, colors, thoughts, and emotions can carry, transmit, and absorb vibrational energy. This energy can be harnessed and used to benefit your life through the Law of Attraction. Your emotions, thoughts, and feelings also have vibrational energy. When you experience something positive, your physical body vibrates and radiates vibrational energy at a higher level. As we see in quantum physics, like attracts like, so when you vibrate at a higher frequency, you are opening yourself up to attracting more high-vibrational positivity into your life. Learn how you too can apply the law of attraction to fast-track your journey to becoming passion-struck. Enjoy!! Quotes from the show about how you can apply the law of attraction "If you are experiencing negativity in your life and constant thoughts of negativity, then what the universe is going to give you is more negativity." "When you can master the law of attraction. You can utilize your memories, your thoughts, your actions, your mindset to take on those things in your life that you would like to achieve." "The law of attraction says that you will attract those things in your life that match your values and your emotional state." "When your mind is on fixed mindset, negative outcomes, doom, and gloom, what do you think you're going to get in your life? -- more and more of the same." -Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.

Today’s show is a very personal one about applying the power of choice in your life. Choices occur in our life every day, both unknowingly and knowingly. These can range from simple decisions like purchasing groceries or gas to the heavier ones about friends, influences, and beliefs. One thing is true for everyone: we all have the power of choice. It’s a critical part of our self-development and every one of the choices we make shape our experiences and brings you to where you are in your life.  John uses his own personal journey to highlight the importance of choices and how they can influence your passion journey. Can you expect to achieve your biggest goals and live the life of your dreams without making intentional choices? Back in the day, when John transitioned from military life to civilian life, he went on to make massive strides in corporate America. And before he was 40, he was the Chief Information Officer of a Fortune 50 company. But all his material success did not bring him fulfillment because he was not truly passionate about his chosen profession. Whether it is not your professional life or your personal life, job, or relationship, listening to today’s show will inspire you to face your insecurities and take the harder right. Learn how John chucked his seven-figure job to follow his passion for creating the Passion Struck brand. Enjoy! Quotes “Making a choice might be the most difficult thing to do. But without work, nothing happens.” “You are, so passion struck by what you are doing that you are willing to risk it all to go after it." “Until you start taking the step, embracing the sharp edge, and doing something every day that scares you, nothing is going to change."

On today’s show, we interview Director, Digital Standards Office, Technology and Business Transformation, Advanced Education and Skills Training, Sid Tobias who shares with us his distilled wisdom on agile workflow and digital leadership. He mentors new digital teams with the BCDevExchange and teaches digital leadership to executives.  Before this, Sid has served for 25 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.  We start this show with Sid sharing a life-changing incident that sparked his interest in agile methodology.  In 2002, when Sid was stationed aboard a Canadian destroyer in the Persian Gulf near Afghanistan, Canadians' training exercise was wrongly deciphered as a threat by an American F-16 bomber. The F-16 pilot decided to retaliate, and many innocent lives were lost in the aftermath. The Canadian and American leaders were quick to take responsibility and collaborated closely to ensure there was no repeat of such unfortunate incidents. This incident was also the pivot point that made Sid go agile. “How can leaders develop and introduce work procedures that create bigger and more frequent success opportunities across the board?” wondered Sid. You will learn the importance of being a true “Servant Leader” or Leader Gardener” who can recognize the weakest signals from team employees to result in a truly collaborative approach.  As a public safety transformational specialist, Sid emphasizes the importance of a team-driven work approach. We also compare and contrast the waterfall approach to the agile approach. And reveal how a shift towards agile can help organizations fail cheap and pivot quickly. You will also learn how the agile methodology allows the government to rope in private sector enterprises for top-secret projects.  Enjoy! Question That I Ask In Today’s Show

• Why did you decide to get educated in the Agile Methodology?
• What are some of the major obstacles in the digital transformation drive?
• From your time in the military, what is the most important leadership lesson that you learned?
• What are the three words that describe being a Canadian?

  What You Will Learn In This Show

• An agile vs. Waterfall approach
• How going agile can allow you to fail cheap and pivot quickly
• Giving up the command-and-control management style and being a “Leader Gardener” to your people instead
• How going agile can help ensure the success of public-private partnerships
• And so much more…

Ever wondered what sets successful entrepreneurs apart? And how they manage to overcome business and mental health challenges as they go about chasing their big goals? In today’s show, we interview FuzziBunz founder and Shark Tank participant, Tereson Dupuy shares with her distilled wisdom on entrepreneurship, persistence, and mental health. She discusses how Shark Tank changed her life.  Growing up in New Orleans, Tereson was always driven and keen to make her own mark. But, unfortunately for her, she had to deal with severe trauma issues in her childhood years.  Being an adopted child and having a serial killer as a next-door neighbor compounded her mental health issues, and Tereson ended up a full-blown alcoholic by the time she was 14.  Tereson got her big idea for FuzziBunz when she could not find good and affordable diapers for her autistic son, who was prone to skin rashes. While her sewing skills came in handy, Tereson went ahead with her business even though she had no prior experience with production or branding. FuzziBunz was a huge hit as the product filled a market gap while addressing some big pain points. Even though Tereson tasted commercial success, she found it difficult to draw boundaries and fend off those eager to take advantage of her. She talks about how other companies blatantly copied her product design. And, how after 12 years of running her business successfully, she started facing heated competition from her Chinese counterparts. “Tereson, the problem is you.” At this juncture, Tereson got an opportunity to appear on Shark Tank. The sharks were brutal in their assessment and concluded that the biggest problem with Tereson’s business was Tereson herself. Six months after appearing on Shark Tank, Tereson exited her business completely. And then she started working on setting her life back in order. Tereson was on the verge of launching another retail product. But then covid struck. And then, tragically, her son died from suicide.  Currently, Tereson has decided to put entrepreneurship in the backseat as she has gotten a dream opportunity to help out women in India. She is in a happy space as she savors the opportunity to work with some incredible people. As a huge proponent of mental well-being, she talks about “exorcising” your ego and stepping into the spiritual. You will learn why you need to let go and surrender to be at peace with yourself. Enjoy! Questions That I Ask On This Show                                                                                                                                                                                               

• What was life like for you when you were growing up?
• What made you get on Shark Tank?

On today’s show, we interview Chef Sharon Guerin, who shares with us her life story about how she became an executive chef. And how she applied the Personal Agility methodology to unlock her hidden potential and take control of her life. Sharon has been cooking since the age of nine, and she always harbored this secret desire to be a chef and have her own cooking show. But then life happened. At one point in time, Sharon was a single mother, working five jobs, struggling to take care of her five kids.  In November 2017, at the age of 54, she decided to leap of faith, and she quit her job as the staffing director of a health care agency. As fate would have it, a chance encounter with Maria Maratelli opened up a world of opportunity for Sharon. They got talking, and Sharon confided in her aspirations to start her YouTube cooking channel. Three days hence, as promised, Maria went over to Sharon’s house to help shoot her first-ever YouTube video.    The rest, as they say, is history. “How did things start falling in place all of a sudden for Sharon?” you may ask. Sharon’s success is no fluke.  Rather, it is the result of taking some very intentional steps and using personal agility. You will learn how having Maria as a coach helped Sharon let go of the long-held beliefs that held her back.  Though extremely tough, you will also learn the importance of making your near and dear ones behave responsibly and with accountability. And last but not least, John and Sharon emphasize how having your own tribe, your own mentors, can help you tide over some of the most trying times. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

• My life story and how I evolved into the culinary queen
• Using the Agility methodology to unlock your hidden potential

What would you do if you are at the crossroads of your life where you have the option of taking the harder right or, the easier wrong? On today’s show, John shares a deeply personal story where he chose the more difficult, harder path at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. Additionally, you will learn the Three Things that will help you to make similarly difficult decisions. Back in military school, John found himself in the midst of a high-profile cheating scandal.  The answers for the Naval Academy electrical engineering exam were leaked. This impacted hundreds of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. John was a member of the brigade honor committee when this took place and tells his very personal story about what happened. When the Superintendent mishandled the crisis, it launched an investigation by the Baltimore Sun and the Navy Inspector General.  John was called upon by the Secretary of Navy and even had legal reps defending his innocence when the Superindent tried to make him the scapegoat.  And so, at this point, John had the option of caving in or doing what was ethically and morally correct.  John decided to take the harder right, even at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. History is replete with examples of stellar individuals who always chose the harder right – even in the face of utmost adversity. John gives the example of Gandhi, who spearheaded India’s freedom struggle.  This timid and seemingly “unremarkable” man fought racial injustice in South Africa before helming the Quit India Movement that forced the British out of India.  Gandhi could NOT have freed millions of people from colonialism and oppression without taking the harder path, again and again.  On today’s show, you will learn the Three Things to help you do the right thing. You will learn that - 

• It is NOT about your ego – rather it is about integrity and making decisions that you know in your heart are the right ones.
• It is NOT a decision that you make in haste – think about the long-term repercussions and how your decision affects those around you. 

Tune in for some inspiration! What You Will Learn In This Show

• How to take the harder, right
• The three things to help you make the right decision
• How to prepare yourself for the aftermath after making a difficult decision
• And so much more…

Giles first came in touch with John when they joined forces to help Lowe’s recover from the worst cybersecurity attack in the history of the retail industry. You will learn how John, Giles, and the entire IT department at Lowe’s worked in a collaborative manner to create a new state-of-the-art command center. In this segment of the show, you will get some important lessons in execution, empowerment, and creating a long-term vision.  In 2013, Giles moved on to another iconic company, Dell. Here, Giles shares how working at Dell was a totally different experience compared to the more structured operations at Lowe’s.  While Giles was employed at Dell, the company grew at a blistering pace via the acquisitions route as it evolved from a hardware company to a software and services company. You will get a peek into the acquisition’s playbook used by large organizations and learn how they overcome their cultural differences upon assimilation. Feeling the need to make a bigger impact, Giles left Dell to work in a smaller organization, Acelity. When Giles joined, his team was in complete shambles, and morale was at an all-time low. You will learn how Giles helped create his team’s new identity using an honest, no-bullshit, and refreshingly fresh approach. Having retired from professional life, Giles has found his passion once again as he spends his day’s rowing and blogging. Questions That I Ask In This Show

• Could you share your experience at Lowe’s and how you helped deal with the largest cybersecurity hack in the history of the retail industry?
• What were some of the cultural differences between Lowe’s and Dell?

The purpose of today's show is to bring awareness to pancreatic cancer survival. In today’s show, John interviews Sindy Hooper about overcoming pancreatic cancer survivor and competing as an Ironman Triathlete. Sindy shares with us her incredible story of grit, hope, and finding success in extreme adversity.  Back in 2013, things could not have been better for Sindy. She was leading a happy existence with her physician husband at their countryside home. Sindy had just turned 50 and was in the best shape of her life. A huge fitness enthusiast, Sindy was training for Ironman Canada when she felt a few sharp abdominal and back pains. Further investigations revealed that she had pancreatic cancer – a disease with an average life expectancy of just 6 months.  After going through Whipple surgery where “they removed her gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, bottom third of stomach and half the pancreas,” Sindy went through 18 rounds of IV chemo, 28 days of radiation, and a month of oral chemo. While she was going through her treatment, she decided to do what any rational person would. Sindy decided to participate in Ironman Canada!  The Ironman features a 3.9 km swim,180 km bike ride, and then a 42 km marathon, to put things in perspective. So, in August 2013, Sindy became the only pancreatic cancer survivor to finish an Ironman. In the process, she also raised thousands of dollars and gave hope to millions worldwide. How do you retain a positive mindset even when your future looks bleak, and all odds are stacked against you? Tune in and get inspired!

• How Sindy survived pancreatic cancer – one of the deadliest forms of the disease with a less than 5% survival rate
• How she finished the Ironman while I was undergoing chemotherapy
• How she retained a positive mindset even when all odds were stacked against me
• What she recommends to other growth seekers in how to take control of their lives
• And so much more…

Questions that I Ask In This Show

• What was your life like before the cancer diagnosis?
• Can you explain how they performed the Whipple surgery on you?
• Can you share how you completed Ironman Canada while you were undergoing chemotherapy?
• Do you think there can be a success without adversity?
• What advice do you have for overcoming adversity?
• How do you deal with negative emotions?
• How is your life different now compared to how it was before you started your journey?

In today’s momentum Friday show, John unpacks the “visionary arsonist” concept. So often in our lives, you aim to reach the stars but often you end up burning down your own dreams and preventing yourself from achieving your main goal. As entrepreneurs, we love to innovate. And, we are constantly enamored by every shiny new object that crosses our path. We hate the status quo. And exploring the new and the unknown gives us an adrenaline rush that we find irresistible. However, more often than not, these “shiny new objects” send us on a wild goose chase that only results in loss of time & productivity, and even failure. John shares his many experiences from corporate America to better explain his “visionary arsonist” concept. So, if this is something that resonates with you, and you find yourself lacking conviction and prioritization, tuning in today will particularly help you out. Enjoy!   What You Will Learn in This Show

• What does it mean to be a visionary arsonist?
• How to keep your focus and avoid being swayed by every shiny, new object
• How to build conviction and prioritize wisely
• And so much more…

In today’s Passion Struck ™ podcast episode, John interviews his long-term friend and navy veteran Master Chief Tuck Williams who shares his wisdom on keeping your focus, conflict resolution, and managing change. Tuck joined the Navy in 1989 and recently retired after 30 years in service. Of these 30 years, Tuck spent 12 at sea. He has served in far-flung places like Spain and Japan and has been decorated with numerous service medals.  You will learn how to overcome some of the biggest challenges that are impeding your progress. Tuck shares some of the most important lessons learned in his three-decade-long service, from steering clear of distractions to swift conflict resolution. Finding the right mentors also helped Tuck immensely along the way. When he was just 19, he was drafted to Japan. An unsure and slightly out-of-sorts, Tuck, fortunately, found a great mentor to lean on who helped him settle down. Be it the military or corporate America; the only constant is change. And if you run away from change, you are committing hara-kiri as eventually your enemy or your competition will end up having a leg up on you. But, how can you prevent conflict and chaos in a dynamic environment? What all can you do to show up a responsible, caring, and thoughtful leader? Other topics discussed in today’s show include keeping your emotions in check at the workplace, tips for handling toxic people, and the importance of making good choices. Enjoy!

Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity. In today’s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management – which was then an unknown field with very few experts. Maria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise.  So, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase. This win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules.  After some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria’s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India. Agile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out.  Enjoy! Questions That I Ask In This Show

• How do you transition from the insurance industry to agile management consultancy?
• Can you recall your AH-HA moment?
• How did you overcome your fears and doubts when you were starting?
• What do you do to stay on top of the market?
• Do you recall your first big success? What did it feel like?
• How have you applied your agile methodology to your personal life?
• How did you make a name for yourself as a DJ?
• Why did I see you wearing a T-Rex Costume?

What You Will Learn In This Show

• How I started my own agile management consultancy
• How to overcome some of the biggest entrepreneurial challenges
• How to build your personal brand in the consultancy space
• How finding your own niche can drive profitability and growth.
• How to apply agile methodology to your personal life

What is the one thing that Matthew McConoughey taught me which had a profound impact on my life? It’s the importance of showing up. Matthew was a regular at our weekly congregation in Austin. He would show up unfailingly with his entire family, bring along his co-stars, and even mix freely with everyone.  This had a huge impact on my son, who was facing a particularly tough time in middle school then. Matthew also made me realize that I need to be more present for my family, irrespective of my busy professional life. In today’s show, I reveal the three things that you can do so that you can show up every single day. If you feel that you need to set your priorities right and have been unfair to your loved ones, listening to today’s show will particularly help you out. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

• Three Ways you can show up every single day.
• How to make a contract with yourself and hold yourself accountable
• How to manage your time in the most judicious manner
• And so much more…

In today’s show, we interview Digital Marketing Specialist and Instagram Expert David Dang, who shares his distilled wisdom on the secret to building a magnetic brand.  You will learn how he discovered his superpower, which has helped him evolve into one of the most sought-after Instagram experts today. In 2006, when David moved to Canada from Vietnam, he did not speak a single English word. Over the years, he overcame this handicap by listening to audiobooks. This is what stoked his passion for personal development and business.   David was quick to realize that he was not cut out of corporate America. And while he was keen on starting his business, he had to find something that did not require a huge capital investment. And this is when he stumbled onto online business. When David graduated with his marketing degree, he already had a flourishing eCommerce business. However, he did not monetize his Instagram for the first two years.  In this period, David shared helpful and valuable content that made him magnetic to his ideal clients.  You will learn the importance of discovering your WHY and picking your career path for the right reasons.  If you view your career as a means to an end, you will find yourself low on drive and passion sooner or later. However, if you have the right mindset and are enjoying every minute of it, you will surely find the success that you rightly deserve. Tune in for some golden nuggets!

Ever wondered how successful business leaders constantly re-invent themselves? And, how they emerge even stronger after every crisis? Today's episode will discuss just that and the key to becoming a successful entrepreneur.  In today’s show, we have Hugh Campbell, a five-time serial entrepreneur and founder, AC4S Technologies, who shares his wisdom on growth, innovation, and integrity. You will learn how Hugh went from being a West Point graduate to successfully running a half-a-billion-dollar business. After graduating from Military Academy at West Point, Hugh worked at a data-communications company, Intermedia Communications, for a bit. He soon found VC backing and ventured out on his own with Accelacom, Inc. – a high-speed internet company. This business really took off, and ironically, Hugh became a victim of his own success. Eager to cash out, the VCs sold off the business in bits and pieces, and Hugh was forced to reinvent himself yet again.  Wanting great autonomy after this bittersweet experience, Hugh founded the cloud-solution company AC4S technologies. In this segment of the show, you will learn the importance of looking forward, taking calculated risks, and surrounding yourself with trusted advisors. Particularly, Hugh talks about the watershed moment in his career after which AC4S Technologies really took off. We also have a heartfelt discussion on the importance of integrity. Regarding the recent cheating scandal at West Point, both Hugh and John share their thoughts on conducting your personal and professional life with the utmost integrity.  As the CEO of the Council of Tampa Bay, Hugh also shares how he is helping create a safe space for CEOs to share their challenges and struggles with their like-minded counterparts.  Towards the end, we have some excellent advice for young people on the cusp of their professional life. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

• The importance of conducting yourself with the utmost integrity

• The importance of taking calculated risks for catapulting ahead of the competition

In today’s show, we have a chat with human building coach, Mac Brazina who shares her thoughts on cultivating mental toughness, self-care, and women’s empowerment. When Mac first started Human Builder, she was focusing solely on physical training. However, she soon found her true calling, which was helping her clients cultivate a stellar mindset.  Be it the boxing ring, business, or life in general; you will learn that your biggest competition is with yourself.  John reveals the mosquito principle from his Passion Struck Framework at this juncture and shares how you swat out the people, habits, and influences that are holding you back. The comfort of a safety net, mounting anxiety, and the resulting negative self-talk pull us down and prevents us from leading a purpose-filled life. In today’s show, Mac encourages one and all to have an open discussion on mental wellness.  We share some great self-care tips so that you forge ahead instead of internalizing your pain. Enjoy! Some of the Questions that I Ask In This Show

• How did you find and unlock your hidden potential?
• How did you develop the right mindset to excel at a daunting sport like boxing?
• How do you train your clients and help them build a tough mindset?

• How did you become interested in the brain’s impact on human performance?
