How to deal with the fear of rejection and judgment? Entrepreneur and host of Executives After Hours Podcast, James Kelley, visits "Magnificent Time" to share his best insights on the subject.

You're overwhelmed, and always feel like you have to be “on." Simplicity Circle Founder Milana Leshinsky fell into the trap of wanting to do it all to achieve the perfect idea of "success." She published her first print book, “Coaching Millions”, hosted the world’s very first telesummit, created Recurring Revenue Revolution live event, developed nearly 30 business courses, started and sold a software company, and co-founded JV Insider Circle.

Dave hosts the "Misfit Entrepreneur" podcast, a show devoted to giving the audience insights from the world's top entrepreneurs with a focus on their non-traditional methods for achieving success, their Misfit side.
