"The same value that you get when you're using authenticity internally, in culture and leadership, is just as profound when applied externally, to sales, business development, and marketing materials."
"If you start to train your people and rewire their brain to see the value of using authenticity, it will help you both externally to stand out, and internally to improve culture and engagement."
"We focus so much on the innovation and the cool features, and then what do we do? We throw it in a brown Amazon package."
If you just have the guts and vision to be more authentic, to be bolder, to talk like a human, you would easily stand out."

1.) What most people get wrong when thinking about negotiations
2.) The one most important thing to do (or not do?) when negotiating
3.) A powerful phrase you can use to give space and levity in your conversation
4.) A mock scenario of how to approach asking for a raise or promotion
5.) What happened when she pushed her boss and boss' boss for equal pay

"I've learned more about my body and health and food than I have in the last 20 years, which, I was a healthcare executive. So that's a little bit scary, and it's also super normal."
"It's amazing how much we label preventive and how much we're missing."
"Food can either negatively impact or can help with inflammation, which helps with these aches, pains, and chronic diseases."

Curious about the kind of magic that happens when you turn 'you can't' into rocket fuel?
In this episode of Buck That! Kristine Schlichting is here to share her story because amongst the doubters chanting 'you can't,' she didn't just shrug it off – she cranked heat with a 'hell no, I’m doing this!’ instead.
Kristine is a psychologist who leads and oversees over 30 psychiatrists and other professionals in a one-of-a-kind intensive outpatient program that helps adults and adolescents with extreme mental health challenges.
She’s telling us how she did it. And it all started with someone telling her she ‘can’t’.
In this episode, you’ll hear how:
1.) Kristine’s refusal to accept limitations fueled her determination to prove naysayers wrong.
2.) Despite facing skepticism, Kristine persisted in establishing an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health, refusing to let setbacks (or side eyes) deter her pursuit of her dream.
3.) Kristine opts out of comparisonitis and leans into authenticity and action instead.

What happens when we choose authenticity over agenda?
Chaos? Panic?
Nope, just breakthroughs. (and maybe even breakdancing)
In this episode of Buck That! Erin shares a time when she went off-script at a leadership event, proving once again that when we ditch the facade and keep it 100% real, magic happens.
Here are three takeaways from this episode:
Authenticity Always Wins: When you're authentic in leadership, you’re laying the groundwork for building solid connections with your team.
Purpose Packs a Punch: When leaders understand WHY they're doing what they're doing, it helps them make decisions that drive meaningful change.
Cut the Fluff: Sometimes less really is more. By simplifying your messages, you're not just making things clearer, you're making them more impactful.

We're thrilled to present our brand-new series called "Buck That!"- a series to help you challenge conventional thinking, ignite your passion, and empower you to redefine what's possible.
Each episode is short and is focused on just ONE story of how someone bucked the norm and had great success as a result.

He also takes us through his fearless pursuit of wrestling in the Junior Olympic Trials, an experience that changed his life forever.
Dan’s stories are a powerful reminder that true greatness stems from embracing our uniqueness and fearlessly (and authentically) pursuing our dreams.

*Replay* Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Where every mistake and unfortunate event just piles up on top of one another until you're convinced the universe is conspiring against you? It can be all too easy to fall into a downward spiral of negative thinking, but Mental Toughness Coach, Chris Dorris, is here to show us there’s a different way to think.
Chris started out as a social worker in Atlantic City helping the mentally ill, drug addicted, and homeless populations upgrade their lives. This eventually led him to his true vocation- helping people close the gap between how their lives are and how they want them to be.
Chris understands that our thoughts have a lot of power. And if we're constantly telling ourselves that things are going to go wrong, guess what? They probably will.
Feeling stuck in a rut and like nothing is going your way? This episode is for you.
In this episode you’ll hear:
1.) Chris’ secret for mental toughness that's reshaped the lives of elite athletes and CEOs
2.) His journey from social worker to success coach and how he turned obstacles into opportunities
3.) Key strategies to master your mindset for breakthrough success
4.) Inspiring stories of authenticity and resilience
5.) Practical tools for mental toughness you can start applying now to transform your life

“I think we all want a little more ‘not obvious’. We all want something that we haven't heard before.”
“If you really concentrate your attention on focusing on the things that are most likely to open your perspective and you seek out those sources of information, you become better at identifying those things that will move your intellect forward.”
“Curation is the ultimate method for transforming noise into meaning.”
“I took something that would've taken me six hours as a professional who knows what I'm doing. And AI as a collaborator, allowed me to do it in 90 minutes.”
