Doug speaks with Karen Grosz, also known as the "Monday Videos Lady" for her enthusiastic weekly motivational videos. Karen shares her journey from being shy to becoming a successful team building expert and author. She also discusses the importance of goal setting, authenticity, and embracing life's opportunities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Setting and sharing goals is crucial for success. Tell individuals and groups about your goals to find support and accountability.
• Authenticity is key to personal and professional growth. Karen found more success when she embraced her natural grey hair and true self.
• Protecting and nurturing your energy is essential. Karen maintains her enthusiasm through good sleep, nutrition, and surrounding herself with positive people.
• Collaborative art can be a powerful tool for team building, fostering communication and shared pride in accomplishments.
• Changing your mindset from being miserable to cheerful can dramatically improve your life and relationships.
• It's never too late to pursue new goals or try new things. Karen did stand-up comedy for the first time recently, proving age is just a number.
• Young people often want to learn from those with experience. Don't be afraid to share your wisdom and lessons learned.
• During times of transition, we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and become the person we want to be.

BEST MOMENTS

"You only hurt yourself in the kitchen until you decide to stop hurting yourself in the kitchen."

"You have one life and you get to make the choice. And we need you there, whatever you're good at."

"Share your goal. When you figure out what it is and you really want it, you have to tell individuals and you have to tell rooms full of people because there is somebody out there who is going to help you make it come true."

"You're not too old. And it's not too late. You just have to start whatever the goal is that you want to achieve."

"When you are scared of going for your goal, when you're scared of making that choice, that change in your life, when you're scared of going from morose to the happy, you just have to remember that that thing you're scared of is not a bear. It is a cow."
