• Dr Jody Carrington: Breaking the Loneliness Epidemic-The Power of Being Seen & Heard

  Dr. Jody Carrington is a renowned psychologist, best-selling author, and global keynote speaker known for shaking up boardrooms, classrooms, and living rooms with her powerful message that real human connection is our ultimate superpower. Hailing from Viking, Alberta, Dr. Jody draws on her rich background—from working with trauma survivors and her experience in Canada’s national police force, to leading transformative conversations on mental health and leadership. Her relatable, insightful approach cuts through the noise, helping individuals and organizations rediscover the importance of authentic interaction in an increasingly disconnected and tech-driven world.   Takeaways: ·        Connection is a Biological Need: We are neurobiologically wired for connection, and no matter how advanced AI becomes, authentic human relationships can never be automated or replaced. ·        Privilege and Purpose: Dr. Jody’s journey has taught her the power and responsibility that comes with privilege, and she’s on a mission to use her voice to foster inclusivity, compassion, and genuine connection—especially in a world grappling with loneliness and division. ·        Rest Fuels Leadership: True emotional intelligence and effective leadership require rest and self-care; when we neglect our own well-being, we lose access to our best selves and our capacity to authentically connect with others.    Sound Bites: ·        "We will never automate relationship, no matter how good we get at AI." ·        "The only AI that’s going to matter in the next generation is authentic interaction." ·        "You can’t give away something you’ve never received, which is why EQ is a privilege."   Quote by Mick: “How do you make this not about you in that moment? How doesJody evolve or respond to this moment?”   Connect & Discover Dr Jody: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjodycarrington/?hl=en Website: https://www.drjodycarrington.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drjodycarrington Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjodycarrington/ Podcast: Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington TikTok: @drjodycarrington Book: Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World   🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥   Mick Hunt’s brand-new book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership, is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers.   👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million    FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: Mick UnpluggedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/  YouTube: @MickUnpluggedPodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: MickHuntOfficial

• Dr. Haley Perlus: Turning Pressure Into Power

  Dr. Haley Perlus is a renowned mental performance coach, author, and speaker who has made her mark as both an alpine ski prodigy and a “Performance Whisperer” for Fortune 500 leaders, Olympians, and everyday high achievers. With a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she draws from her own athletic journey and her deep belief in human potential to help individuals master their mental game, transform pressure into power, and achieve their personal gold standards. Dr. Haley is the author of Personal Podium,creator of the #MentalToughnessMoments series, and a passionate advocate for self-belief, personal growth, and mental wellness. Takeaways: Mental toughness is a skill, not a trait—it can be developed by focusing on motivation, confidence, focus, and anxiety control, making it accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Preparation trumps natural talent or pressure—the best performers build on their strengths and prepare thoroughly, enabling them to confidently “want the ball” during high-stakes moments. Grace isn’t an excuse for inaction—you should give yourself compassion on tough days, but never let yourself off the hook completely. Doing something, even if it’s not your best, is always better than doing nothing.  Sound Bites: “I do believe people can grow. I do believe people can change. I do believe we have more control than we give ourselves credit for.” “Goals are great for vision, but standards are what you control and uphold daily—they become your benchmark for mental toughness.” “Winners want the ball because they’re willing to risk, to grow, to challenge themselves, and to see what they’re truly made of.” Quote by Mick: “You don’t rise to the occasion, you rise to your level of preparation.

An advocate for payingit forward and empowering others, he recently released his book Who Better Than You? The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big, sharing leadership lessons and the mindset that fueled his incredible journey from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Hollywood’s elite.    Takeaways: ·       Your Obligation Is Bigger Than Yourself – Will believes in using his privileged position to give back, not just to his family but also to his community. True legacy, he shares, is built through positively impacting others, not just personal accomplishments. ·       Success Requires Action, Not Just Passion – Will didn’t wait for the “perfect passion” to strike.

Too many of us do that now. I went and did something I did well—and found my passion within it." "Success is a bottom line business. At the end of the day, you’ll be judged by if you delivered or not." "Healthy arrogance is understanding you can make any room better while bringing everyone up—not tearing anyone down."    Quote by Mick: "Some days I do. Right. Some days I don't.

• Mick Unplugged Trailer

  Everyone talks about why. But the truth is—leaders don’t rise because of their why… they rise because of their BECAUSE. This trailer kicks off a new chapter of Mick Unplugged—where we go deeper than inspiration and get to the fire that actually fuels people. I asked high performers, visionaries, and difference-makers one question:“What’s your BECAUSE?” What you’ll hear is not polished. It’s not packaged. It’s the real reason they refused to quit. If you’ve been coasting on purpose statements and catchy quotes, this will wake you up. This isn’t self-help. This is self-honor. Press play. Then ask yourself:What’s your BECAUSE?
