Have you ever felt like an underdog or have empathy for the underdog?
I do, and so does Jason Cutter, my guest on this #jammingwithjason #podcast episode.
And not only does Jason have empathy and cheer for the underdog, since he is one himself, but he also has an amazing story from being raised hating people, to be a marine biologist, to tech support, to mortgage and foreclosure business, and to now helping people with authentic persuasion.
Hear his journey to find his passion, going from underdog to expert, and there is no one right way; people sense when you are not authentic, being open, curious, creative, persistent, and authentic. I had a blast recording with Jason; you will have a blast listening.
The fact that you are reading this means there is something you need to hear in this episode.
Let’s face it, whether in sales or not, you are selling yourself every day, and you don’t have to do it like a sleazy car salesman. You can be authentic in a way that is uniquely you.
Learn more about Jason at: https://www.jasoncutter.com/ and check out his podcast “Authentic Persuasion Show” at: https://www.cutterconsultinggroup.com/podcast/ and grab one of his books like “Selling with Authentic Persuasion” through his website or Amazon.

Most people’s jobs are a pressure cooker of stress and emotions, which carries over into your personal life and performance at work.
Headaches, back pain, and trouble sleeping are probably stress-related, and you don’t even realize it. Maybe you are already ready to realize it but don’t know how to break free.
Are you feeling pressure at work and would like to create a better, healthier version of yourself that shows up differently at work and home? Then you need to listen to this episode with my friend Sasja Chomos where we discuss balancing pressure to deliver with being humane to those around us, what to do if you feel bullied at work, practices for regulating your emotions and letting off some steam, and so much more.
Sasja specialises in organizational culture, leadership coaching and development, and employee engagement. Driven by her core purpose to create conditions for individuals, teams, and organizations to excel, Sasja helps people develop the mindset and skills they need to achieve superior results.
And she has personal stories of going through these things herself, with her family and clients you need to hear, just like I do. You are not alone if you feel this way.

I had the privilege to sit down with Jay Likhoded, the CEO of Clausematch, on #jammingwithjason and talk about how he and his company are changing the world of compliance, and if that’s not your jam, don’t worry, this #podcast episode has nothing to do with compliance.
Revolutionary people who change the world learn that failure is not an option. They learn how to be resourceful, grateful, and follow their passion… which is exactly what Jay has done.
He also has a story that so many live and shows what is possible with persistence. When young, passion and dreams are put aside so we can be practical, responsible adults, find ourselves in a job or profession that doesn’t light us up and know there are ways you can positively change the world. You have an idea, share it, get excited, and then figure out how to manifest it.
The fact that you are reading this means there is something in this episode you need to hear today.
Evgeny Likhoded is the Founder and CEO of Clausematch, which helps regulated organizations to operate safely and bring compliant products to the market. Having worked with the legal and compliance professionals in financial services and energy, Evgeny sought to improve how companies can understand and meet their compliance obligations and ensure that compliance is embedded into their business. He founded Clausematch in 2012.
And here’s a link to the Forbes article Jay mentioned during the episode: https://www.forbes.com/sites/oliversmith/2018/04/23/europes-top-vc-backed-a-banker-turned-entrepreneur-who-nearly-went-bankrupt-three-times/?sh=48d668729166

Is there a little voice in your heart telling you it’s time to take a different path, but your head doesn’t want to follow?
Are you afraid to show who you are because you think you have to be tough or show up a certain way?
Do you think you are the only one putting one foot in front of the other but feel like you are tripping over your own feet?
Well, my friend, you are not alone.
I was blessed to spend time with my friend Ashanti Branch, Founder and Director of Ever Forward, on #jammingwithjason. When you listen to this episode, you will see this man’s big heart, and he is one of my heroes who is doing some amazing things to change the world positively.
This is an authentic discussion where we talk about living our purpose, taking off our masks so the world can see who we are; you can’t put a price tag on changing lives for the better, emotional maturity, providing people space to be themselves, and so much more. You will relate to Ashanti’s story, and the fact that you are reading this means there is something you need to hear in this #podcast episode.

Feed Fear a Suck It Sandwich
You probably know what a knuckle sandwich is, but what’s a suck it a sandwich? Listen and learn since there is a story behind the title, as usual.
Whether you believe it or not, much of your life is spent in fear, worry, being scared, etc… that shows up when you are triggered and move into a fight, flight, or freeze mode. Don’t believe me, but when you are angry, anxious, or avoiding… those are all rooted in fear.
What you want is usually on the other side of fear.
In this #jammingwithjason #podcast, I share some of my fears and how I was able to push through. I rode a bull, got a straight-edge razor shave from a barber, and scuba diving even when I feared drowning.
We either push through fear, or we sit on the sidelines, waiting, waiting, waiting… afraid while life passes us by.
And when you push through, you release the fear and can move on with your life. Going through can also lead to some of the most exhilarating and surreal moments of our life.
What scares you that you can push through this week?

When It’s Time to Move On
Have you ever felt like you can’t bring yourself to do something anymore?
Maybe it’s a job you dread getting up for each day and going to the office. Perhaps it’s a relationship that you get a sick feeling in your gut when you see or think of someone and want to say clear of them. Maybe you don’t find something fun anymore.
If you are like most people, you’ve experienced some of those feelings. You’ve probably asked yourself when you should stick with it since you aren’t a quitter, or do you “cut bait” and move on. I know I’ve wondered that many times during my life, and I’m sure you have.
In this #jammingwithjason #podcast episode, we jump into a bit of storytime with Jason and discuss a path with a heart, making career changes, and even pink crayons so you can see from my own experience. Of others, some of the questions you can ask yourself to know if it’s time to persevere and keep moving forward or whether it’s time to move on.
From personal experience, I can tell you that staying on a path longer than you should lead to mental and physical health issues since it can kill you.
And there is nothing wrong with you or the thing you are moving on from if you decide that’s what’s best for YOU.
Sometimes it’s just better to move on and not look back. “If I never look behind me, my troubles will be few.” Supertramp

Our most popular new years resolution won’t get solved by jumping to conclusions. Not only that… Nothing will get solved by jumping to conclusions!
Often we become so invested in our first impressions of a situation we never stop and think about what else could be going on.
In today’s episode, we discuss being curious and considering all the other options in a given situation.
