Today we discuss embracing transparency and keys to exponential growth and living our fullest life.

 

My first guest, Paul Pagnato, is an author, a top advisor with more than 27 years of industry leadership, and Founder at PagnatoKarp, a top family office and private wealth management firm with over $9.5 billion assets under management. He joins me today to discuss turning challenges into opportunities, the secrets to exponential growth, and the six T’s to transparency that help individuals and businesses improve well-being and prosperity.

My second guest, Kimberly Faith, is a systems thinking expert, futurist, thought leader, and the author of an award-winning book that inspires women to free themselves from the universal mindsets standing in the way of their ultimate success. She joins me today to share how we can step out of our sense of “smallness,” release universal mindsets that are standing in our way, discover our personal power, and live our lives to the fullest.

 

We Discuss:

  • The transparency wave and revolution that’s followed the communication and digital waves
  • The six components of exponential transparency – Six steps that lead to consumer trust
  • Why companies that figure out how to take transparency to a whole new level thrive
  • Embracing personal transparency and what actions we can take to inspire growth
  • Innovation and experimentation, and why success is failure turned inside out
  • Looking deeper to uncover if we are in alignment with our subconscious programming
  • What makes people stay stuck in their “smallness” rather than owning their personal power
  • Why a glass ceiling can be a mirror that allows us to redefine our narrative on new terms
  • How we can dive into our subconscious and start to erase the beliefs that are holding us back

 

“When we are able to be honest and transparent with ourselves, then we can really breakthrough. But, it takes courage.”  –  Paul Pagnato

“No one wakes up one day and says, “I think I’m going to be a victim.” What happens is, it slowly erodes into your life where with each decision, and each day, you begin to feel like you have a little bit less power. When victimhood slips in, it steals our energy, it steals our joy, and it steals our courage.”  –  Kimberly Faith
