Rise and Win - Cory Carlson pt 2

Rise and Win 

Cory Carlson pt 2

We all think we know what “winning in life” means. Right? I mean, we see successful people delivering key note speeches and earning thousands of dollars. They then sell their books or coaching programs and earn even more. They get on a plane and head off to the next key note or to a business meeting where they close a deal for millions of dollars before taking the next trip to wherever and do it all over again.

To all appearances, it seems like they have it all. The fancy house, the new car in the driveway every year or so. Travel, travel, travel.

We envy them and wish we could be like them.

But is that truly success?

If you check on many of these people, they may be on their second or even third marriage. They may have faced bankruptcy at least once, if not several times.

Sometime, they wish they could “be like you!”

My guest today used to chase those dreams. In fact, he lived what appeared to be a very successful life. Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory Carlson amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But, at the same time, he saw brokenness. He saw work without purpose, strained marriages and absentee parents.

He noticed that business leaders were especially suffering, not living life to its fullest.

But, when he discovered coaching, it helped him to become a better leader, a better husband and a better father. He then left his successful career to begin helping other leaders achieve a healthier work-life balance focused on God and family as well as career aspirations.

Cory is the author of two amazing book, “Win at Home First” and his most recent book, “Rise and Go.”

This is the conclusion of a great, two part interview!

You are also an author. Your book, “Win at Home First” was your first book. Tell as a bit about this book and why you wrote it…

Why do you think it is important for business leaders to “Win at Home First?”

Your most recent book is “Rise and Go.” This book is more of a “motivator” of sorts to handle the tough times when things are not going so well, to “Rise and Go” forward and, basically, to  keep pushing for the victory.

Why did you write this book, “Rise and Go” and publish at this time in your life and career?

Tell us about the “Rise and Go Manifesto.”  What is that?

You share that people should “mark and remember” moments when God has provided for you.  Can you explain the importance of this and how you use it in your book?

Tell us about your podcast, the “Rise and Go Podcast.”

Cory, this has been so interesting. I know there are some listeners out there that want to know how they can obtain a copy of your books. Are they available on Amazon?

If someone has a question or would like more information on your coaching programs or have you to come speak at a meeting, conference, etc., how can they get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, even if you are not a high level executive, the information contained in Cory Carlson’s books, “Win at Home First” and “Rise and Go” will definitely provide you with information you can use in your daily walk in life. No matter your career, you can always improve. But you do not want to be successful in business and forsake your family or your relationship with God.

In Mark 8:36, Jesus asks, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose your own soul?”

Don’t be that type of person. Achieve that “work-life” balance. Start today, by going down into the show notes and getting in touch with Cory Carlson. And, while you’re in the show notes, click the links right there, right now, to order one or both of his books, “Win at Home First” and “Rise and Go.”

Don’t wait until later!  You know as well as I do that the devil would love for you “wait until later” to do anything that may benefit you and draw you closer to God and to your family.

Don’t listen to the voice of the devil! Listen to the Holy Spirit prompting you, right now, to drop down into the show notes and order these books today. Right now. Amen!

Cory, thank you so much for coming on the program today. I do appreciate it, brother!

Folks, that’s all the time we have for today. For Cory Carlson and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
