Have you ever wondered why some incredibly talented or gifted people continue to toil in obscurity – no matter how hard they work? How does someone (or some thing) go from being just another local legend to a one-of-a-kind nationwide hit? Is there a secret formula that you can’t quite put your finger on?

I was pondering those questions myself at a recent Blue Jays game on the day that David Price made his pitching debut before 50,000 adoring Toronto fans. The more I pondered (and the more Price racked up his 11 strikeouts) the more I wanted to know how a 7th inning ritual called “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” became a crowd source phenom 7 decades after the fact and if the same principles can be applied to any individual, company or brand serious about pursuing the art and science of reinvention.

In today’s episode of The Reinvention Chronicles you will discover an essential ingredient to achieving show-stopping success and the crucial role performed by the QUIET MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN

The first known gold rush began on January, 24, 1848.

A prospector by the name of Jim Marshall discovered gold in Coloma, California and before too long news of this find attracted more than 300,000 fortune hunters. They were called “Forty-Niners” (as in 1849) as a multitude of sailing ships and covered wagons converged in what is now known as The Golden State.

A similar gold rush is underway that is bringing game-changing prosperity to companies, communities and careers anxious to embrace treasures that are buried within.

If you are ready to dig deep into the heart of what makes your business, product, personal or professional brand special, we are Digging for Story Gold on this edition of The Reinvention Chronicles.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:

“Shallow men believe in luck or in circumstance. Strong men believe in cause and effect.”

Back in the 19th century, Emerson was viewed as a radical when America’s most influential writer dared to share his thoughts on individuality, freedom, the ability for man to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the outside world.

If Emerson were still with us today, the Sage of Concord would concur that just a few thoughtful words and the smallest of actions frequently unleash a mighty avalanche of positive results.
And if Emerson were really here and had a Facebook and Twitter account, he would likely be friends with Dan Martell.

Together, these two members of the self-reliant, bad ass brotherhood would explore at a much deeper level how “The Ripple Effect” really works in our everyday lives and why it matters to anyone who is fascinated about creating meaningful change as we isolate the cause and effect; the impact of a single conversation.

Each week, I bump into people who ask variations of the same question when it comes to video blogging or any form of social media publishing:

How much traction are you getting?
How many followers do you have?
What are the numbers saying?
What are the business results?
What about analytics and the best platforms?

Great questions to be sure, but there are better ones to be asking than those that place too much emphasis on numbers-driven data and short-term results.

Because the wrong questions allow you to miss the entire point of the exercise.

A better question might be:

Are there real people you have been able to connect with, touch and inspire or influence in a positive way?

Instead of metrics and analytics, what if we paid less attention on what we might GET from these on-line publishing efforts as opposed to what we GIVE just for the sake of giving?

What if we started wondering instead about opportunities any of us have each day to have a positive impact and make meaningful connections with other living, breathing human beings through stories and ideas we share?

What if we forgot about the many and decided to Focus on “The One” on this edition of The Reinvention Chronicles?

Heather was an active kid.

The kind of girl that most would refer to as a tomboy.

Gymnastics, t-ball, volleyball, track & field, rugby.

You name a sport – she played it.

Described as a natural athlete, Heather found it relatively easy to excel on any competitive field – without having to train very hard.

Despite her obvious talent, coaches worried that the gifted Island girl lacked the necessary work ethic to achieve greatness on a global scale.

Growing up in a small, rural town in a remote part of Eastern Canada, few people in Heather’s circle would have predicted a future filled with bright lights, big cities, world travel and Olympic-sized dreams.

And now this certified occupational therapist and three-time Olympian has embarked on an entirely new professional adventure that reveals interesting insights you can leverage to create your own “second act”.

Join us as we go 1-on-1 with two-time Olympic gold medalist Heather Moyse on this edition of The Reinvention Chronicles.
