Madelyn Moon is an author, podcast host, retreat leader and transformational life coach. She is a guiding force for women and men who want to stop over-thinking their lives away and live with more trust, intuition and flow.

Maddy Moon was driven by perfectionist energy for most of her life, which led her down a dangerous path. Always striving to do more, be more and accomplish more, she found herself disconnected from her body with multiple disordered eating patterns, a restlessness and a lack of confidence.

Maddy has since healed her heart, spirit, body and mind and is now taking life by the reigns by leading thousands of women and men across the world through their own transformational experiences via her podcast, Mind Body Musings, her website, MaddyMoon.com, and her global retreats.

Her work and story has been featured in The Huffington Post, Teen Vogue, Nylon Magazine, The Daily Mail, Vice, Greatist, Men’s Health, PEOPLE and ABC News Nightline.

It was awesome to have Maddy on the show. We really covered a lot of ground and discussed many different topics, but our entire conversation centered around comparison and the dangers of comparing yourself to others. This is a trap that we all fall into at one time or another, but it's unhealthy, not fair to yourself, and can seriously inhibit your personal growth and progress in any area of your life. Maddy and I discuss some of the ways you can combat this...but we also talk about how you can use comparison in a healthy way that inspires and pushes you to greatness instead of keeping you from it. 

Some of the things we talk about in this episode:

  • College, is it worth it?
  • Cutting toxic people out of your life...and what do you do if it's family?
  • Maddy's personal health journey.
  • Being authentic in your business.
  • Body positivity. 
  • Comparing yourself to others.

Romacio Fulcher was a college dropout at the age of 19. By the age of 25, he was a self-made millionaire in real estate. That only took Romacio so far, he realized that although he had a steady income of $25K a month, living in California he was broke. In the last 10 years, he has made millions of dollars in the network marketing industry. Most recently, he rose to the top of his company within the first 4 months and earned over $2.3 million within his first year. Now he is on a mission to help 75 people make $10K a week.

Romacio was an absolute pleasure to have on the show. The dude is like a preacher, and his message is about some very simple systems you can implement in your life right now to propel you towards success. This is worth listening to with a pen and paper!

Here are some of the things we discussed: 

  • The Golden Question to ask in networking
  • The 3 Keys to Assured Success
  • How to have a success mindset to achieve any goal
  • The value of having a mentor and how to choose the right mentor for yourself
  • How to lead a large and diverse organization or team

Jeff leads Your Project X, a social venture dedicated to helping people (re)discover their purpose to build careers they’ll love. He has more than 18 years experience as an entrepreneur, consultant, professor and changemaker. He is the founder of five social ventures, including IBM’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consulting practice. In 2011, he developed the curriculum for the first MBA in Sustainability on the East Coast, at Bard College, where he was the Leadership professor. He was also two-time Chairman of the Carnegie New Leaders at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

Jeff’s passion has always been at the intersection of education and entrepreneurship. Prior to your Project X, he ran a career transition program for 64 New Yorkers, built global education programs including a blended learning initiative for high school dropouts in Latin America and career discovery programs for youth in Europe. He is currently piloting a 4 month multi-country internship and personalized leadership program for students in NYC and Guatemala called CAREER X. Jeff received his Masters in Cultures and Development Studies from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from The College of William and Mary in Virginia where he was an elite gymnast. As a thought leader, Jeff has been published in a half dozen major publications, including Forbes. His most recent blog posts can be found here.

I loved having Jeff on the show. He is the epitome of a Successful Dropout and is now using his experience to help other people step off the conveyor belt and explore the world of possibilities. From an unconventional 5th year in college, to moving to Boston, then Belgium, then Spain, being a strategy consultant, starting an internet company and a multitude of other projects as a social entrepreneur...Jeff has lived a life in pursuit of work he loves. Now he's helping you discover what you want to do, but more importantly, WHO you want to be. 

 

Quote: "Don't ask yourself what you want to do...ask yourself who you want to be."
