Field Guide To Awesome
Hosted by Trina Serrecchia · EN
From broke and under-employed to 6-figures+ powered by “day-dreams” and grit, I gave it all up to travel the world solo for 6-months. When I returned home, I balanced the “art of doing nothing” and writing for 8 months.
I took one last consulting contract, just to see if I could. I aced it but realized it just wasn’t for me. I knew I was meant to do more, to make a bigger impact.
With over 20+ years as a serial entrepreneur, I’ve learned from the masters in B2B copywriting, online marketing, online memberships, and coaching.
I’m a transformational coach, speaker, and multi-passionate Renaissance Chick devoted to creating the Field Guide To Awesome. I believe that by creating and harnessing inspiration and pouring it into your business, it creates wealth and a massive positive impact on your life, and the world around you.
Field Guide To Awesome is for Heart-centered & Socially-Conscious Entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals, and consultants like you, who want to transform their J.O.B. into inspired work that feeds their souls, fills their pockets, and fully serves their clients. Together, all of us are multipliers of massive positive impact. I talk to experts about their business success stories and pay close attention to their failures. We talk about the mindset tips, tricks, and strategies that help you overcome failure, and create an inspired, profitable, and impact-driven business on your own terms. I deep-dive into how inspired entrepreneurs overcame major business challenges using mindset shifts, and how they are positively impacting the lives of their clients and community.

Was where we continued the energetic perspective series with the level two perspective, specifically how to recognize when your fiery attitude will burn you and how to shift it into a fiery passion that can sustain you.It was all about how level, two perspective, energy potential shows up in your day to day experience when you're under stress, along with the advantages and disadvantages, every level has them. We explored several strategies you can use to reduce your time being stuck here and access higher levels of energy, just like we're doing with level three.All right. So if you missed it, go ahead and check out episode 88. This week, we are continuing the series and diving into level three,this episode is for you. If you are feeling you should be further along than you are by now. Likely you are deep into strategizing tolerating and dealing with minor frustrations that are holding you back [00:02:00] from making the kind of progress that feels deeply satisfying.And that's why we're talking about the level three perspective. What it looks like, what it feels like in everyday life and in business and the advantages and disadvantages as well as some, as well as some strategies that can help you expand into the higher levels of energy and using level three as a resource state to keep your momentum going.level three energy is the energy of coping. With the core thought of I win you win two and that's okay. But I win first. Let's do a quick review of the levels so far, it helps to put things in perspective.Level one, energy was all about stagnation and being the victim of life. And now when I say victim, it means that life is happening at you. The shift from level one to level two comes from the fiery need for change ignites within. . [00:03:00] So that firey need for change burns and pushes you into the next level.Shifting from level two to level three, which is what we're talking about today happens when you start to take ownership of your own emotions, your own thoughts and your own life experience. Just as a reminder, we as humans go up and down through these levels of energy throughout the day. So no one is always a level one, no one is always a level two, no one is always a level three or any other level.It depends on how we respond to life events and stressors. So how long we spend in each of those levels can change depending on how resilient we are. And so an example of that is say, you wake up feeling great it's gonna be a great day. It's gonna be a great day.Right. But then you spill coffee on your white shirt. Oh, coffee on my white shirt. Oh, this is terrible. It's stained. It's ruined forever. [00:04:00] And what am I gonna wear now? Okay. And so that's just an example of how you can go from feeling great from one of the higher levels of energy to level two or level one.Okay. So how long you spend there, this depends on how resilient you are. We all experience these every day. But with level three, things start to feel much better. Level three begins the anabolic energy in the scale of levels of energy and anabolic energy is the kind of energy that builds you up that helps you grow all right levels.One and two were catabolic where they broke you. Okay. You had energy, you got things done, especially in level two, but it was the kind of energy that wouldn't sllow you last in the long term, because it would burn you out. Okay. Anabolic energy helps you build and grow [00:05:00] and it feels good. Okay. At this level, people tend to take responsibility for their thoughts, emotions, actions.They know that what they think and feel is really up to them. And nobody else you can't make me feel a certain way unless I give you permission. I think that's an Eleanor Roosevelt bastardization quote I ruined her quote, but no one can make me feel any way that I don't desire to feel. Okay. The focus of level three is on winning through achieving your goals.And meeting your own agenda first cause you got business to do and you gotta reach those goals. You win first, but if other people win as a result, that's great. Okay. But it's your goals first? Okay, and this isn't good or bad. It's just [00:06:00] an attitude. It's just where your focus is at that moment. Okay.And so level three energy also has a lot of coping going on. All right. Coping in this context is to deal with an attempt to overcome problems and difficulties, because we see a lot of problems and difficulties, a lot of hurdles to jump in level three energy. Judging is judging things as good or bad black or white.Discernment is the awareness of the situation without a story attached. You'll notice as we move up through the levels of energy that Discernment increases as we go up through the levels of energy and judgment decreases. In level one and two, there was a lot of judgment as good or bad. Coping at this level occurs because the person still has some judging going on.All right. We are judging creatures, but in level three, there's still a little bit of judging going on. There's a problem. [00:07:00] How can I fix it? We're problem focused. Dealing with little hurdles. It's like watching your feet as you walk instead of gazing ahead as you walk and think of that too. If if you are a driver, if you drive, you don't look at, as you're driving the road just a few feet ahead, you look out into the distance.Okay. And so in level three, we're still looking at the mid-distance. We're not looking out far enough. Okay. And the difference between this and winning at level two is that the intention of those operating from level three perspective is to have the other person win as well. But again, only after securing the win for themselves first.In other words, the intention of level three is I win. And hopefully you win too, but either way I win primary goal. And I've said that a couple of times, but that is the primary thought. People who...

Last episode, we [00:01:00] began the energetic perspective series, starting with level one perspective. I spoke about how to recognize and clear out the subtle forces that are holding you back from the momentum and fulfillment. That was meant for you. It was all about how level one perspective, energy potential shows up.Along with its advantages and disadvantages, every level has them. Then we explored several strategies you can use to reduce your time being stuck here and access higher levels of energy. If you missed it make sure to go back and check it out because this week we are continuing the series and diving into level twowelcome everybody. Welcome. Welcome. Today I'm talking about how to recognize when your fiery attitude will burn you and how to shift it into a fiery passion that can sustain. Let's jump in. Welcome to the energetic perspective series. Each [00:02:00] episode in the series will be focused on one aspect of each of the seven levels of perspective and intention.Each of these seven levels determine our experience and the outcomes we get, as we move through the day. Welcome to level two energy, which is all about the fighter and I win. You lose thinking we're gonna be looking at what level two looks and feels like and how it may show up in your life and business experience, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of level two energy and perspective.Again, every level has advantages and disadvantages. The characteristics I'm about to discuss often do not feel good and few, like to see them in themselves. I know I don't. All right. So remember, as we go through what this level, two perspective energy looks like and feels like some of the characteristics may resonate and others may not.So [00:03:00] disregard the characteristics that don't resonate and make note of the ones that do. Okay. Cause remember awareness creates choice. And when we have choices, we can choose to shift our perspective consistently and increase our capacity to access the higher levels of energy. And at the end, I'm going to wrap it up by sharing with you some strategies you can use to shift to a higher level of energy.So prepare yourself for some suck. Alright. But don't worry. There are things that you can do to shift. All right. So for real, for real, oh, let's dive in level one. Energy was all about the stagnation and feeling. The effect of life being the victim of life, things that happen at you. All right. And so there's still a bit of this in level two.The shift from level one to level two comes when the discomfort of staying where you are, is [00:04:00] more painful than making a move to change it. It's kind of like the poker in the butt. All right. It's as if a fire was lit inside you at first, that fire is a thing that grows on its own into a conflagration.When that anger is not directed, it can be destructive. In other words, catabolic. So level two is still considered catabolic. However, when you have access to higher levels of perspective, it can be used as a tool, but its results and effect are very different from what you're going to hear about today.We're gonna talk more about that when we explore the higher levels of more anabolic energy. All right, right now, the characteristics that you're gonna be hearing about is when somebody is really stuck in level two, it's the predominant energy of not only in the workplace, but life in general. Okay.Level two. Energy is characterized by conflict, internal or external. And the core [00:05:00] emotion here is, is anger. All right. There's a lot of anger inside and this energy contains thinking of. Agonism struggle. Resistance, blame, frustration, defiance. All right. So from a level two perspective, everything tends to be viewed as black or white, right.Or wrong, good or bad. All right. These judgments result, and it's not, your judgment is bad. It's judging things as black and white, good or bad. All right. These judgements result in limited options since the full scope of available possibilities is not apparent. You just can't see them with that kind of thinking to the person operating with this level of energy.They often manage and operate by force control or coercion. They may appear to be very confident. All right. Always thinking that their way is the right way they can get caught up in focusing on what's wrong. What's broken and potentially who or what is to blame. And while initial [00:06:00] results may look successful, this way of leading others and organizations will ultimately fail.It's not sustainable. All right. The effort expended to live and act in constant catabolic energy will train them and those around them to. Just fight and struggle. All right. So one of the things that I wanted to mention also is that with this level of energy it, Let's put it this way. There are strong forceful leaders out there who are very successful even while working with this level two energy. They get things done. They can have terrific business success. For a time. This level of energy is not sustainable in the long run. And being seen as a strong leader can seem really admirable.All right. Yet the characteristics of anger, forcefulness, [00:07:00] dictatorial, leadership, it can leak through and damage not only your business, but also your health and your relationships. All right. So this is part of why this is so important.I just wanted to get that in there cuz I know we, we see many leaders out in the world, entrepreneurial business, world leaders who, who lead by this level two energy. And you know, they make money, they have success, but they don't feel that success. Right. They don't feel it. And the people that they lead certainly don't feel that success.Let's dive back in to the pool. With this level two energy people can be angry and they blame themselves and, and others for their lives, the past for any negative thoughts and emotions. So there's a lot of blame that happens in level two. Blame is also apparent in level one, but in level two, I mean, it's, it's an angry blame.<p...

Last week I spoke [00:01:00] about the seven different perspectives of lying that we all experience at some point or another. including How we recognize them in ourselves. And the worst type of lie that we need to recognize as soon as possible and stop it before it causes any more damage.So if you missed it, go back and check it out.But don't go yet, folks.This week we are. Diving in to the energetic perspective series.Each episode in the series will be focused on one aspect of the seven levels of perspective. Why is this important? You were about to find out this is going to be awesome.Well, this first level is not so awesome. But we need to recognize. Figure out what it looks like, [00:02:00] and I'm going to also be sharing with you some strategies on how to get past it. All right. My name is Trina and I am a success and self-mastery coach. And today we are going to be talking about level one, victim energy, and the perspective of "I lose". What a fun way to start an episode. Right. No one likes to be a victim, nor do they like to feel or think of themselves as one. I know I don't. I know you don't - being a victim Isn't fun. Right? So who is this for? This is for you because there are times in your life when you will experience some of what I talk about here.All right. [00:03:00] So have you ever been stuck in a pattern where you felt like you had no choice or stuck in a situation where. Well, maybe not you, maybe you don't recognize it as being stuck, but where you're doing mostly well or heck doing fantastic. Right? You still have some work to do. All right. Because serial success makers who are mostly working in their know and flow. But still know that there's something more for them. All right. They can struggle to integrate this into their lives or those of you who are working towards something that seems to take a step back for every step forward you take. All right. It's like the goalpost is moving and Hey, even if you know exactly what you [00:04:00] need to do, but it's either not catching on or it's exhausting.It's exhausting. You all out of proportion to the perceived tax. All right. You likely have the subtle influences of this energy that prevent you from accessing opportunities that are right in front of you. I swear. These opportunities are right in front of you. You just can't see them yet. Okay. And Hey human.Yeah. You, you have experienced this kind of low energetic state that I'm talking about, even if it's a small. All right. And we're going to talk really briefly, a little later on today about how even like a small bit of this energy can pull you out of alignment and the hide major growth from you. Okay.And so. I'm going to be talking about this victim energy, as well as it's also known as level [00:05:00] one perspective, how it will show up for you, how to recognize it and how to stop being at the effect of it. And break the cycle. So you can clear out the subtle forces that are holding you back from the momentum, the fulfillment, and happiness, that was meant for you. All right. So some things to keep in mind that it's not an all or nothing state, you could be regularly operating a successful business, building strong, compassionate relationships, leading like a boss and still into intuitively innovating solutions. But even a little bit of this energy's perspective can limit the health, happiness, wealth, and fulfillment that is possible for you.And this perspective, isn't always obvious. If you're really stuck in it, it is pretty obvious. But if it's just a little bit in your energy and it's just a little [00:06:00] bit in there, it's easy to miss it and put the onus on something else. So for example, it's easy to look at a person or a situation that's vexing you and putting the onus on them.If only the situation was different or the person was different. Life would be easier, right. This, there wouldn't be a problem. All right. So I'll be sharing some of the things that might be subtle influences that are pulling you out of alignment. And again, what I'm going to share with youin this episode, at least these are things that aren't fun to look at. But I want you to keep in mind that none of them are good or bad. They all have advantages and disadvantages. All right. It's all in the perspective of how you look at them. And I'm [00:07:00] also not talking about blowing sunshine up your butt or guests, you, or gaslighting yourself because there are legitimate benefits to some of these.I mean, we wouldn't do anything if it didn't benefit us in some way, even if it's not in the. That we desire to go. All right. It's serving us in some way also. Remember, it's not what you say or do, but it's your intention behind what you say or do that matters. Okay. Okay. So before we jump into the icy dark depths of level, one perspective, let's talk a little bit about what energy leadership.Okay. Energy leadership was developed by Bruce D. Schneider. He's a renowned coach and founder of my Alma mater IPEC Institute for professional excellence in coaching and Luke Iorio who's the president [00:08:00] of iPEC described energy leadership like this. All right. As individuals, we view the world through filters based on our experiences, our values, our assumptions, and our perspectives.And those filters will either limit what we see, like tunnel vision or expand what we see, oh, like a prison. And all of that together will impact how we perceive and what we think about our circumstances. Whatever those circumstances are. And this in turn impacts how we show up in different situations.Okay. So the energy leadership index assessment, there's also an assessment by the way. So as I go through this, you can recognize, or not things that you experienced in your life and in your business. But there ...

When you perceive somebody telling you lies, it feels like everybody lies to me.The truth is hidden to me.. And when you, now, when I say the word you, I mean, you, me, everyone, when we're at this perspective, at this level of perspective, this is what tends to be there. All right. So when we tell lies, we tell lies from the space of, I don't know, Or I'm afraid for others to find out. And there's a lot of guilt and shame there.All right. Not me. Who did this? Not me, not me. All right. So it's a source of conflict and self-defense and cowering. All right. We've all had this. And so that's when we're at the effect of it. [00:04:00] And we'll talk a little bit more later if we have time about how we can use this level as a power. All right. Instead of just a perspective.All right. So the second level lies, elicit. anger, outrage. It's a source of conflict. So we're level one. We were avoiding conflict with level two. It's a place of conflict we're settling in. It's "I win, or no one wins.". I win. Forget about all y'all all right. So the perspective at level two, when they perceive someone is lying, whether it's true or not, it feels as if they just don't want me to know how to get ahead, they can do it. They just don't want. So that's if the person at level two is working with a team, you know, when they say, oh, I [00:05:00] can't do it. Yeah. They can do it. They just don't want to. All right. How dare they lie to me? So oftentimes the response when told lies is outrage and. Force conflict and the person tends to feel threatened.All right. There's a sense of deep betrayal. I'm not mocking anything because this is what a person who is reacting from this perspective is feeling. And I CA I can hear someone out there. I'm not saying that you, I'm not saying that's me saying, not me. I'm never that way. We all have an aspect of this in ourselves someplace, even if it's very tiny.All right. So when they tell lies, there's a sense of subterfuge to get ahead. Like I'm not going to tell them this so that I can get ahead. All right. [00:06:00] So the idea at level two is. You don't, I'm going to win heck with y'all.And oh, level three, things are getting a little bit better. All right. But there's still a perspective of lying at level three, the lies at level three, this is a space of tolerating making do, making some progress, things are doing okay. But there's a lot of tolerating, less than ideal. And a lot of managing people and manipulating people. All right. And so at level three, lies tend to be used to manage a person or a situation. There there's no, or very little, if any Malignancy in there, there, it's just, they're lying just to manage, to get things, to go their way.All right. And so our response when a person at this level is feeling that they're being lied to is a deep sense of disappointment and a loss of [00:07:00] trust. All right. When a person at this level is in this perspective, experiencing telling a lie it's as if they don't need to know they as the other person outside of the person at this level, don't need to know, but I got to tell him something, right. They don't need to know the truth, but I need to tell them something just to get them to participate or to leave me alone. Often little white lies.And honestly, I think the little white lies that's prevalent almost every day. There was some research out there that spoke to the fact that in any conversation, a person tells two or three lies, little tiny, tiny lies, even. All right. Lies of omission tend to be a little more prevalent here.What people don't know won't hurt them. [00:08:00] Right. And more silence instead of having to tell a lie silent. Starts here and just to hold the peace and the silence isn't to make anybody else feel better or to hurt anybody or to suffer, but it just holds the peace.At the level four perspective of lies, there's a deep desire to shield someone from pain, from sadness, from shame, from disappointment. All right. So if somebody is telling a person a lie, who's at level four and the person at level four, at that perspective perceived it as a lie. There's a sense of concern. All right. There's a sense of concern.What if the person who is lying to me? What if they're lie causes them more pain or sickness or hardship. All right. There's concern for the other person who may be [00:09:00] telling the lie than the person who is perceiving the lie. It's worry about the other person or about other people. There's upset and worry about how the lie would affect another person or group.All right. If you notice at the perspective of level four, there's no personal concern about how it might affect them. It's more about how it might a...

Or getting irritated at minor mistakes, whether made by you or someone on your team, a client or a vendor. Or Either dreading conversations or experiencing miscommunications or getting frustrated with team members for not delivering to your expectation.

And does require us to put in the effort. And we can't control anything outside of our own selves. But you don't have to feel like you're tolerating less than ideal and suffering through the process. There is a way to shift your own mental, emotional, and physical experience that can improve your results in your [00:03:00] business, get you better results from your team and give you a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneurial leader. I'm Sharing a simple 30-Second method. To increase your EQ to shift your mind, body and emotions so that you can start catching your mental, emotional, physical stress reaction either before it starts or before you get too deep into it.If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out.but don't go yet, folks.This week, I'm sharing a little story about how travel has transformed my entrepreneurial journey. As well as informed my resilience and self mastery coaching practice. I can't wait to share this with you. So stay tuned. It's coming up.[00:03:42] Trina: Hey, Hey everybody. I'm going to share a personal story with you. Have you ever gotten asked a question and then think at first you got nothing only to realize that there's so much [00:04:00] that it all wants to come out all at the same time. Recently, I was asked about a personal and or professional story that helped me stand where I am today at first.Yeah. Hi, drew a blank. There are so many moments. I remember that have formed me into who I am and inform me and drive my purpose. And I am overflowing with stories. So it's hard for me to pick out one single story, but one of the overarching stories of my life is my love of travel. Travel is for me, not just going on vacation, it's not a vacation.It's not getting away from it all. It's not escaping from my day to day reality. To me travel is learning to be wherever I am. [00:05:00] It's immersing myself in being fully awake, aware, alive. It's learning that I'm safe wherever I am upon a re-entry quote, unquote, returning home to my normal life. I bring more and more of that into my daily experience.I become more aware of my conditioned responses. Awareness increases the opportunity to choose how I want to show up differently when we're home. It's so easy to get lost in our default mode. Default mode is that state of being that is deep into autopilot and autopilot is grrreat for flying.It's not so great for living a fulfilled and purposeful life. There was a day back in 1994, many moons ago. When I realized I'd been lost in my own personal autopilot, it felt like I was merely [00:06:00] surviving, traveling through a dark, foggy tunnel. When I looked backwards and looked forwards again, everything looked the same.Gray washed out. No inspiration. I realized I didn't feel alive. It was at that moment, I knew something had to change and it had to be big. It had to be drastic. I hadn't heard the acronym BHAG yet, even though it was coined a couple of years earlier, but I had just had a glimpse of my first big, hairy, audacious goal.I decided to backpack around great Britain for a couple of months. And this was way before I had access to the internet, mobile phones, digital cameras. All I had was a travel book called let's go great Britain, fabulous book, fabulous travel series. I planned for six months and I saved up enough to cover my [00:07:00] rent and car payments while I was gone.And after buying my round trip ticket and my, Euro rail pass, I had $33 a day. I could spend on food, lodging and transportation. And at the time in pounds, it was 22 pounds a day. Not a lot of money. All while I planned and prepared, I told my family work mates and friends about what I was going to do. No one, one person, only one friend believed me.No one else did family would laugh at me and tell me I wasn't going to go. That it was ridiculous. I remember looking at them with my head cocked to the side. Like a confused puppy and saying, don't you see every thing that I'm doing to get ready, look at all the things that I'm doing to prepare.They continued to not believe [00:08:00] me up until the day I had to catch my flight from Boston to Heathrow. And I insisted that I needed a ride to the airport. My grandmother dropped me off at the bus station with a worried look and told me to give her a call.If she needed to pick me up right back up, it was two months before I returned home and we saw each other again. It took a while years maybe before I understood what I was doing was so far beyond what those around me could imagine as possible that they couldn't see what was happening right in front of them.And this was my first long-term solo travel experience. And I was hooked!. Again, and again, over the decades, I'd pack a bag, a small bag and travel for a month, two months or six months solo with a vague plan, my heart full of adventure, curiosity and [00:09:00] thrilled by the unknown. The more I flung myself into the unknown, the safer I'd feel I was building evidence that no matter what situation ...

It's an absolute pleasure to have you on my show,[00:02:57] Leslie: Trina. I am so excited to be [00:03:00] here. I always loved the conversations that we get to have.[00:03:04] Trina: Well, we had wonderful conversations back in the summer of 2021 when we did the coaching business summit. And I absolutely loved what you shared there and I can't wait to continue our conversation.[00:03:20] Leslie: This is going to be so muchfun.[00:03:22] Trina: It is.Yeah.So Leslie, for those of my audience who don't know you very well yet, can you share just really quickly where you started from and how you got to where you are now?[00:03:36] Leslie: Perfect. Thank you very much, Trina. I really, again, I really appreciate the great conversation that we're going to have today. I know, I know that it's going to be great.[00:03:45] Where Leslie Started[00:03:45] Leslie: Really where I started from is being, given an opportunity that I. I said yes to not really knowing what I was getting myself into and, Allowing myself to [00:04:00] really get consumed by the position that I was in.And that really led to my own coaching experience with in my own mentoring experience. And that is having someone support me through, through those roles. And, you know, be being in that first time leadership like a greater leadership role versus some of these. Smaller ones that I've had really, really pushed me into a lot of discomforts.And it's one thing that I really needed to really get a hold of. Cause it almost broke me to where I was, had a really, really difficult time. But what that led to was really the passion for me. And my coaching is to reach back to that earlier version of myself, just to be able to give somebody a hand.So that's why I helped support new and emerging leaders with, solidifying their leadership foundation. So it's really. Mix of that life coaching, that leadership coaching all rolled into one that I can, [00:05:00] that I can really help that, that new and emerging leader that up and coming set up coming leader.[00:05:05] Trina: I love that. It's so important. We all want to be leaders, you know, we all envision what it's like to be a leader and we all are leaders in some way or another in our lives.But when it comes to stepping into big leadership, whether that's leadership of your own company as an entrepreneur or leadership in another business, you know how to do your job, and that's why you got elevated, but do you know how to lead. That's you know, and you may know how to lead, but if you have doubts about it, If you have your own stresses and anxieties, you're p...

I am so excited about our conversation.[00:03:11] Sarah: I am so glad to be here. This has been like anticipation galore. I've been bingeing every episode and they are so good. So thank you for this honor.[00:03:21] Trina: And this one is going to be one of the best. Oh, so it is, so it is so motive to be, so Sarah, I elevated you to my audience before we started.But give us a couple of minutes and tell us a little bit about where you started from the very beginning, because again, you've had this television career, which has been just amazing and you know, you didn't just like wake up one morning and say, I'm going to do that.[00:03:57] Sarah: No I didn't. [00:04:00] Yeah, that was a far off possibility.So way back, little girl, little town in Minnesota, you know, my mom owned the gift and floral shop down on main street. So we were literally like public facing customer service, like little ones from the time I could reach the cash register. It was, how may I help you today? What, what can I help you find?Right. So my mom instilled that really, you know, sense of public relations before I knew what that was. And no TV was not on my radar. I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then I figured out, you have to like see hurt animals that didn't compute. Right. But my first taste into broadcasting came when my friend got a gig as a radio DJ and like, oh my goodness, we were, we were young.We were 15. And they were like 10 year old radio DJ. Yeah. So right. This is, you know, this is what in the nineties and this [00:05:00] radio stations, like we need people to work weekends. Nobody wants to, none of the grownups wanted to work Saturdays. So they figured out this my friend, Matt, he did a pretty good job.He showed up for work and had a great experience. And they were like, do you have any friends like you? And he said, well, my friend Sarah is pretty great. And so he and I were radio DJs way back then. And then the TV station in town, which was an affiliate for the Minneapolis stations, like a little tiny satellite station.They were like, you guys are using teenagers and they're working out. And so pretty soon I got hired at the TV station and I was behind the scenes, you know, running cameras. Putting the cassette or like the VHS tapes in the back room. And I got to see all of the inner workings of what TV news was all about.And I made friends with the anchors and they were my first mentors. And so not knowing anything. I was like, well, how do you do this? And they're like, well, you go to school for journalism. I'm like, tell me more. And so I, I [00:06:00] met a couple of them and one of them, I really appreciated. The school I ended up graduating from.She's like, well, I went to Drake, it was great. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to go to Drake. And my parents were like, right. I was the first one to graduate from four year college and my whole, both sides of my family. And and away we went and Drake set me up beautifully for a life in TV news. And so I got to go all over the country and Fargo, North Dakota and free.And as if I didn't have a Northern accent enough, I went to Fargo and then I went to Missouri and that's where I met my husband. We would be co-anchors and then literally like fell in love and the rest is history. So he and I then moved to Wisconsin and we were co-anchors for nea...

Scavella. .[00:02:21] Interview Start[00:02:21] 1 Koni Scavella: Becoming the Difference-Maker, Reverse engineering her success and Niching profitably[00:02:21] Trina: Hi Koni. Thank you so much for joining me today.[00:02:24] Koni: Oh, it is my pleasure. I'm so happy to be here.[00:02:28] Trina: I'm thrilled to have you now, Koni, would you share with my audience a little bit? I introduced you before we started. But would you tell us a little story about like where you started to, where you are now?[00:02:42] Koni: Absolutely. So my journey started far, far, far away in a land called Germany. And so actually that's where I'm from my mother's German Austrian. My father is Italian, Puerto Rican, and I come out like this. So, [00:03:00] it was perfect. I had a wonderful childhood. Bucollic beginnings. And then it all came to a screeching halt when we came to America. And the reason I bring this up is, you know, I don't want to go back to the, you know, the cradle days, but it's important because when I came to America, that's when everything changed.[00:03:18] Trina: How old were you when you came to America?[00:03:23] Koni: That's going to be another point. I'm a little challenged by that. Believe it or not still is because I had a near-death experience, which I lost a lot of memory, a lot of concepts of time. So I have no concept of time. And so people would say, well, how old were you then? And what were you doing in 1990? And where were you there? And I have zero ability to gauge that to a timeframe. But I would say somewhere around nine or 10 or something like that. And, but it was so different. Right. And when I came to America, I had [00:04:00] no idea that I was different. In Europe everything looked the same. There was no biases.It wasn't about how much money do you have? Where do you come from? You know, who were your parents? We didn't have any of that. And if we did, my mother did a great job of not letting us know. So when we came to America, I was completely different. Right. I looked different. In the suburbs we lived in, everybody was blonde, blue eyes, thin lipped and, and little tiny little people.And here I am, five, nine, you know, dark hair, thick eyebrows, full lips of, and really long thick hair. And I was completely an outcast. And of course I sounded funny because I still had an accent. So you know how kids are very cruel growing up before there was a name for it, there was bullying. And so I was.The tail end of that, the harsh end of that. And [00:05:00] it was really hard. And then I finally kept coming to my mom. I mean, the beat ups were terrible. And I said, you know, we gotta do something here to stop this. And so I was tutored how to speak English without an accent. I speak five languages, but then my mother did something brilliant and she said, Koni, you're always going to be different.And your difference is the differenceMaker.. And so that was my rock. That's what I leaned on. And that was sort of my own name. I call him an auto responder. I'd always play that automatically. If somebody said something to me and that became a theme for me. And so going into school, I was different.I started studying, okay, well, who are the different people and how do you not have disharmony by being different? How do you have to blend in? So very early age, I became a student of human behavior. And so I realized [00:06:00] to be popular means you're safe. So we thought, okay, I'll be popular. So it became popular.And that lasted for a while. It's like imposter syndrome in high school.[00:06:11] Tr...
