What’s Your LID?

Friday Oct 28, 2022

Friday Oct 28, 2022

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to welcome you to the first episode of The ITfactor Show! This show is about helping you identify your ITfactor, extracting it, and living it so you can step into your genius and move your business and life further. 

That said, we’re going to dive into our very first episode, which is about The Law of the Lid. You may have heard of it in business and leadership but what I found is that our lives are actually full of lids. They’re like invisible barriers that we put on ourselves when we’ve reached a level of success. We stop working hard. We stop striving, and eventually, our life begins to decline.

The Law of the Lid is based on the idea that we don’t have to limit ourselves. If you want to move further in life, then you need to remove the lid before you go any further down the path toward success. And that's what this episode is all about - finding ways that you can break through these lids so that your life can take off and soar! 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The lids in your life and how to get rid of them.
  • How to improve your systems for next-level success.
  • How to eliminate chaos and limiting beliefs.
  • The power of proximity.
  • Slowing down to speed up. 
  • Why you should be challenging yourself every day.
  • Habits of the Top 1%.
  • The value of receiving feedback.
  • Great leaders aren’t self-made.
  • Increasing your focus.

Doug Bopst - From Felon To Finding Fitness To Becoming FREE

Wednesday Aug 31, 2022

Wednesday Aug 31, 2022

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Its Emily Show! 

Every now and again, you hear a story that shakes you to the core. It’s exactly what I felt when I met Doug Bopst. He went from being completely at rock bottom, having been a convicted felon and struggling with drug addiction to now being a world-leading fitness coach, author of three books, host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast, and mentor to many others who are trying to overcome adversity in their own lives.

Doug used his time away as an opportunity to reconnect with himself. Through this process, he began to see himself as more than just a felon but someone who had the potential to become great at anything he chose to pursue. His mission is to help others see the light at the end of the tunnel and overcome their own adversity so they can be happy and live their best lives possible.

Not only does Doug share his story with raw honesty, but he also shares how we can all use adversity in our lives as a tool for growth rather than a reason for us to give up or accept defeat. We explore the importance of focusing on small steps, giving yourself grace when things get tough, and how to build the confidence and resilience needed to come out stronger and better from the challenges you face. Let’s dive in.

Also in this episode:

  • How Doug’s cellmate, Eric, helped save him. 
  • How your story can help others see the world differently.
  • Using pain as a positive force in your life.
  • Reconnecting with yourself and being intentional about it.
  • Giving yourself a second chance is the best way to pay it forward.
  • Why you need to surround yourself with people with common futures, not a common past. 
  • The three words that we should all strive to live by.
  • What is faith?
  • Message to parents with children battling addiction. 
  • How focusing on small steps and easy wins leads to big things. 
  • The three A’s to remember when going through a hard time.
