The History of Our Show:
Our radio show started out as a business show in January of 2009, called Ask Dr. Mac. It was on LA Talk Radio. I called it Ask Dr. Mac because that was the name of my latest business novel. The idea was to provide advice and coaching via our guests to employees and employers around the country, just as the book does.
About 4-months into the show, Steve suggested we change the name from Ask Dr. Mac to Leading From Within. He was inspired by Karen Storsteen, one of our long-time guests, who gave him a psychic reading after one of our shows. In that reading, Karen told Steve that personal empowerment was a direction he should explore. That moment had a powerful impact on Steve. At the same time, we also had realized that our numbers/phone calls for the show seemed to increase when we had guests with inspirational stories, compared to our business experts. Plus, we had more fun on these type of shows. Needless to say, I was open to exploring the name change some more with Steve.
Prior to doing the radio show together, Steve and I met at one of my Leading From Within workshops. I had been using the name “Leading From Within” for about 12 years in association with the 3-day workshop that I have been facilitating. That’s how this website was initially born. The workshop itself has changed lives and transformed people since its inception in 1997 (I’ve done 28 workshops since then). So when Steve brought up the change in names, I knew immediately that he was right. And because I had so much passion for the Leading From Within program, it was an easy change for me.
Since we’ve changed the name of the show (about a year ago), we’ve been on a continuous high. We moved to Castle Rock Radio where we are a part of a professional community and have upgraded to an actual studio with producers, commercials, etc. We are bringing in big-name New York Times bestselling authors and speakers on our shows now and are even partnering with some of these guests in their programs (i.e. Janet Attwood & Debra Poneman’s Destiny Now workshop). But it doesn’t stop there. Our Leading From Within workshop is thriving and Steve and I have plans to take across the country. Finally, we are putting together a Colorado Speaker Series that we will host featuring some of the top name speakers in Colorado coming together in the fall for a day-long event.
All in all, we have been blessed by this evolving experience and want to thank all of you for your help and support.
