We search for love in the most unusual places. When in fact, we don't have to search that far. All we need to do is to reconnect with the love that's already inside of us.
Prepare for an awakening that starts from within with our special guest - Christin Collins.
Christin Collins is the author of two incredible books, "Her Phoenix Rising" and "be. love." Aside from being an author, Christin Collins is a Keynote Speaker, TEDx Speaker, Philanthropist, and a Global Thought Leader.

As soon as I had my hands on a copy of this book, I couldn't put it down! I loved it even more when I learned how much work and thought process had been poured into this masterpiece. I'm telling you, it has a deeper meaning than you think.

When you doubt whatever you do and put it out there for the world to know, those doubts are self-fulfilling prophecies. Do you know why? Because there is truth in advertising. What you sell to yourself and the world, that's what they'll buy and believe.
Some people call it "manifestation," and others call it the "Law of Attraction," but it all boils down to the idea that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. I agree with that.
Not everything is set in stone, but it influences how you act and how others perceive you.
This topic is inspired by someone I know from a while back and reconnected with recently. Who would've thought that a conversation over caramel macchiato would change someone's life?
This episode is brimming with true-to-life stories that demonstrate the power of your thoughts and words. Watch out for these stories! I won't go into too much detail here. Relax, grab a cup of coffee, and listen to the full episode.
I still can't believe we're now on the 9th season of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Whether you're new to this channel or a proud Rippler since day one, I can't thank you enough for being here. This is not false advertising! I truly am grateful.

Our special guest today will make you rethink what women can do and achieve in a male-dominated field, specifically in the construction space. She will surely hook you with her witty responses, empower you with her strong personality, and inspire you with her relatable story.
Ladies and gentlement, meet Maggie Kuyper, the co-founder of Harpeth Painting LLC, a construction business in Nashville, Tennessee. It hasnât been an easy climb to success. While significant progress has been made over the past few decades, women continue to face challenges that hinder their full participation. Maggie unapologetically unveils the truth about unfair stereotypes and the adversities women face in male-centered industries.
Maggie had been an educator for ten years before bravely venturing into the world of business with her husband and their hard-earned savings.
We got the opportunity to listen to Maggieâs story today because she was connected to me by her dad, Dr. Jeff Cornwall. He is an entrepreneurial mastermind and passionate educator. In case you didnât know, I also got to interview Jeff in a recent Inspired Speaker Series video in The Pond. It was a conversation filled with wisdom about the ins and outs of the business field. He let that entrepreneurial mind shine through!
For women out there who are having second thoughts about bringing their business ideas to life, this episode will give you the empowerment that you need.

When there are too many tabs or applications opened, a computer tends to hang. Just like computers, your brain experiences the same thing. Cognitive overload or info paralysis happens when you take in too much information than your brain can handle. In todayâs media circus, your brain works double-time to separate whatâs important from unimportant, the facts from fiction.
Fake news runs rampant in social media, especially now that the elections are dwindling. It would help to be extra vigilant about the information you see and believe in. You need to be aware of suspicious accounts spreading misinformation and trolling. You should seek facts from reliable sources only.
We are all in luck because today, we have Chuck Salter, the President and CEO at The News Literacy Project as our special guest for The Ripple Effect Podcast!
The News Literacy Project or NLP is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 that aims to teach media literacy to the next generation, so they can go out into the world as well-informed, critical thinkers. The NLP not only helps students but also educators.
With years of experience working in the education sector and fighting for a future founded on facts, Chuck Salter touched on various important topics about disinformation and news literacy. Growing up in a family with a military background, his parents instilled the sense of being of service to people. Chuck took those values as he grew up and made it his lifeâs mission to combat the spread of fake and biased information.
A special thanks to Lorenza Muñoz for this Ripple! I really enjoyed this interview and conversation. Iâm talking to an EXPERT here!
Iâm looking forward to more positive Ripples in the future. Lorenza Muñoz has been a guest speaker on The Ripple Effect Podcast a few months ago, and that episode was amazing! If you still havenât watched it, itâs time: https://youtu.be/Ui19m7oTEqM

In this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, Steve dives into the importance of embracing imperfection and understanding that sometimes, "good enough" is exactly what you need to make progress. We often get caught up in the pursuit of perfection, letting fear of not being flawless hold us back. But Steve reminds us that waiting for everything to be perfect can stall our momentum. Instead, focusing on making steady progress, even when things arenât perfect, can create powerful ripples in your life and the lives of others. Remember, it's not about getting everything right; it's about moving forward.

I'm not in Disneyland right now, but asking about the process of bringing Disney attractions to life takes my adrenaline rush sky high. Getting an idea of how the magic happens makes it even more magical!
Today's special guest for The Ripple Effect Podcast is Former Walt Disney ImagineerâBrian Collins. You might be wondering, "What's an Imagineer? Is that even a word?"
Walt Disney Imagineers bring the words "imagination" and "engineering" together. They are teams with a range of expertise responsible for the design, creation, and construction of Disney theme parks, cruises, and attractions worldwide.
When you visit Walt Disney attractions at a young age, you probably won't wonder how these theme parks come to life. Itâs simply magic! They just leave you with this glazed look of amazement. But today, Brian Collins will share his colorful journey working with Disney and give us a glimpse of the creative processes and hard work behind Walt Disney attractions. Spoiler alert: Itâs not easy.
After his impressive work at Disney, Brian Collins embarked on new adventures as a passionate Instructor at the University of Central Florida, became the Founder of The Brainstorm Institute, and Co-Founder and President of the EnsĆ Education Institute. Among his long list of mind-blowing accomplishments, Brian is also a successful keynote speaker and a master storyteller.

Steve talks Star Wars, connection points and just how different the universe might have been had he been the Chosen One and asked to sit next to The Emperor AKA George Lucas. This fun solo (as in Han) episode is like an exploration of the cave on The Dagoba System (Yoda's swampy home) except it's scarier. Because you look into the deep crevices of Steve's Star Wars influenced mind and that is way scarier than facing Darth Vader.

I was so honored to interview former L.A. Times reporter and Amazon MGM executive Lorenza Muñoz in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Lorenza is an incredible entrepreneur on a mission to create connection, community and collaboration together to create even bigger Ripples in the world.
Connecting as human beings is in our evolutionary nature. It is fundamental to our human experience and essential for flourishing. Obviously, this is not news. Communities throughout history have gathered around fires, told stories, bonded, reflected on spiritual needsâtogether.
But these societal norms have slowly been eroding for a variety of reasons. Community seemed like it was much easier to find only a few decades ago, whether it was through religious institutions or neighborhood gatherings or long held traditions. The lingering trauma of COVID isolation we all experienced, the distraction of social media that seeks to replace in person connection with a virtual one have made the need for connection urgent. As human beings, we need to socialize in order to understand our connection to the world around us.
The premise behind Artemis Muse Productions is threefold:
âąBring back the concept of communityâlive and in person.
âąCatalyze groups and individuals around issues, themes, art or ideas through vibrant gatherings and discussions.
âąAdvance company or individual business initiatives and ideas through curated gatherings.
Artemis Muse is a connector-catalyst, ready to spread ideas, to create experiences that light up our emotional, artistic needs and to instigate change.
INSPIRATION:
Salons: Back in the 17th and 18th Century, Salons were held (mostly led by women) in Paris and other European cities to discuss ideas, science and politics. These women were friends with the artists and writers and intellectuals. Some were patrons of the arts. But mostly, they provided exposure to artists and thinkers and served as catalysts for some of the radical ideas that led to the Enlightenment.
Harlem Renaissance: The cradle of Black intellectual and artistic thought. A movement that continues to reverberate today with its thought leaders like Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston and others blazing a path for Black influence, thought and art. Georgia Douglas Johnson, a poet and writer who hosted the S Street Salon in Washington DC, was particularly influential. Her Saturday Nighters were legendary gatherings where womenâs rights were discussed, anti-lynching action was hatched and literary minds expanded in a supportive, safe environment.
Mexico City: My personal inspiration came through osmosis. Within my own family, there were salons hosted by my Great Aunt (affectionately called Toe). She was a maverick for her time and place, deciding not to marry and instead to follow her own career path in Mexican society. For nearly two decades, Toe held court in her beautiful apartment overlooking Mexico City with writers, intellectuals, bankers, artists and thought leaders. My grandmother also developed and cultivated community. For nearly 70 years, she was at the center of a group of women (jokingly) called âLas Intocables,â or âThe Untouchables.â They were a fearsome group of 12 or so women who were best friends and saw each other through life and all of its changes, rituals, happy moments and tragedies. They were also the group to know for any woman hoping to enter into the tight knit world of Cuernavaca, a city about 1 hour south of Mexico City that became a weekend destination and globally renown resort town.
I learned about community through my family, but I began to nurture and lead community gatherings professionally during my time as the head of member relations and awards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. When I arrived in 2015, my mandate was to create outreach and opportunities for the members to feel more connected to each other and the institution. We needed to find ways to open up the membership to more women and underrepresented groups who, historically, had not been invited. We needed to create events and gatherings that brought together our members several times a yearânot just through the Oscars. We were successful in creating the first ever annual gathering of female members in Los Angeles, New York, London and other citiesâcomplete with a grant award for female filmmakers. We ushered in a new era of inclusivity, with the organizationâs Board of Governors becoming more diverse in gender, race and ethnicity than ever beforeânearly 50% female by 2020 compared to less than 10% in 2015 among many other accomplishments. It was at the Academy that I realized that no matter how rich or how famous you might be, a sense of belonging, of feeling seen and valued, is essential for any human being.

After watching and listening to Molly Carroll's TEDx Talk, I instantly felt that she is one of a kind. I'm repeatedly screaming in my head, "She's a Rippler!"

She's kind enough to share a glimpse of her life to provide an authentic view of how she stepped through these hurdles through human connections. That's why finally having Molly Carroll as a special guest for The Ripple Effect Podcast is such a BIG deal to me.
If this is your first time hearing about Molly, let me give you a little background of her awe-inspiring work.

In 2021, she launched a podcast called Cracking Open, with topics revolving around stories of inspiring people around the globe and how a "cracking open" moment changed their lives forever. Despite having a lot on her plate, she still manages to take on the role of a caring mom to her kids.

You may recognize Melissa Knowles from her time on The Morning Express with Robin Meade on HLN, or her many times anchoring for CNN. Or maybe, you remember her from the Live Free or Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis. She stole the show on that one, in my opinion.
I have been a fan of Melissa Knowles for as long as she's been gracing our television and movie screens. Maybe it's her incredibly positive energy or her amazing sense of humor that first got my attention. But it is her good heart and her amazing soul which just radiates from her that kept me watching.

As she graces our Instagram and TikTok feeds (follow her @knowlesitall) feeds, she is a shining example of someone who goes out of her way to create a positive Ripple in the world. She's honest. She's direct. She's funny as Hell. And she will probably make you wish you had worked out just a little bit harder (Soul Cycle, can you just make my girl your spokesmodel already?) and had that extra something something of whatever she takes in the morning to vibrate at some high level.
I am deeply honored she agreed to come on The Ripple Effect Podcast. I am a huge fan not because she's famous but because she is a good person and a Rippler through and through. I could not wait to have this conversation with her.
