Dr. Ty Belknap ("Bellnap") went from being a homeless teenager to a techy-nerd and successful business owner. Now, with a Doctorate in Leadership and Coaching, he helps other business owners break the limiting beliefs that stop them from being successful.
He embodies the idea that your success isn't about your worth but your mindset. Ty had a moment in his life when he realized change won't happen for him until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. This realization opened his mind to realize you can be successful when you decide to be.
This mindset shift catapulted his life and career to be able to impact 1000s of lives. In today's episode, Dr. Belknap speaks of his work with homeless youth in Tacoma (where he was homeless in the 80s), his educational journey both practically and institutionally, plus he shares insights from his book.

She trains and coaches high-performing entrepreneurs and sales teams for multi-million dollar international brands. In her spare time, Merit writes and performs stand-up comedy.
In today's episode, Merit talks about the importance of Emotional Intelligence in selling and how building your sales mindset will help you become someone prospects want to select.
She shares the simple idea that when you ask people "Are you open to..." there are incredible opportunities. This is not just a simple question she asks prospects and clients but a philosophy that helped her land a spot on a Showtime comedy special. Merit lives the idea of making yourself selectable!
There are three main components to consider as you grow your sales muscle. She speaks on mindsets, mechanics, and motions (emotions).
