E28 Expressing Ourselves in the World
“As you proceed through life, following your own path, birds will shit on you. Don't bother to brush it off. Getting a comedic view of your situation gives you spiritual distance. Having a sense of humor saves you.”― Joseph Campbell
The Fool in each of us sees through and deflates our sense of self-importance, bringing us down to earth. The Fool part of our psyche takes away any sense that we control our fate and takes us beyond a heroic stance toward life. The Fool accepts all parts of our inner psyche and savors the beauty and joy of each unique and different moment and individual.
Rulers and Magicians work hard to redeem and heal the planet. Sages struggle and strive to maintain truth. Only the Fool simply trusts the moment and savors life in its fullness, without judgment, appreciating not only life’s joys but also its sorrows.
The Fool then has the openness and the creativity of the Innocent without the Innocents need for denial and protection.
The Fool’s recognition and acceptance of human fallibility is to motivate laughter - not judgment, despair or even social activism.
When the Fool is in our lives, we know joy because we are released from all the collective “should’s” to really live.
When we let go of the Ego and the need to be important, we can open up to joy. This state is not the end of the journey. It continues throughout our lives. But it does change the quality of the journey. Once we have moved beyond heroism, into the dance, we experience much less suffering.
The Fool, then, is the Archetype that connects us to instinctual life and helps us experience greater joy.

Donna Kunde is one of IBGR's founders and started her career in radio at WNTW on it's Sales 2020 Show. In her role as EVP Supply Management she is responsible for day-to-day station operations and the quality of programming - both show topics and OnAir Talent.
She is an internationally recognized Business Coach and Trainer bringing 20+ years’ experience in military leadership. Donna has been a serial entrepreneur for the last 25 years owning a range of businesses experiencing the unique challenges solopreneurs face with small business growth.
In addition to her entrepreneurial background, Donna brings 35 years of academic and applied cognitive and behavioral science experience to the IBGR Network. Her specialty is helping organizations navigate through change, challenge and tragedy. The combination of her intensive study of the mind, plus practical applications in human potential, Donna provides a unique perspective on leadership, personal growth, sales, communication, and team building.
A high point of Donna's training career happened when she accompanied Dr. John C. Maxwell and his team on a country transformation mission. At the request of the Costa Rican government, the Maxwell team successfully trained 15,000 Round Table facilitators in three days, resulting in a 2% transformation of that nation and projected to reach another 60,000 Costa Ricans the following week. Her trademark energetic communication style and teaching skills have earned her a reputation as a highly effective speaker and respected facilitator.
Londina Cruz is an International Trainer, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker with the John Maxwell Team and a Strategic Coach with Anthony Robbins. Londina is a part of Global Transformation with the John Maxwell Foundation, training thousands of leaders in Paraguay and Costa Rica to help transform the values and culture of these nations.
She has spent more than 25 years studying, coaching and consulting in personal mastery and human performance techniques. These techniques include emotional and social intelligence trainings that elevate individuals, leaders and their organizations to excel well beyond current standards – offering a dynamic competitive advantage.
Londina has taken a situation that would devastate most individuals, being hit by a drunk driver, and has turned it into her life force. In this accident, Londina sustained a traumatic head injury, broken back and broken neck. The doctors gave her little hope of a normal life. She has now turned this challenge into an extraordinary life of empowering others to turn their fears into freedom and reach their potential.
Mastering her limiting beliefs and overcoming all that doctors had told her, Londina has thrived physically as well.
She has become a Triathlete (competing in a Half-Ironman and medaling in numerous other triathlons), a two-time marathon runner (Nike Women’s in San Francisco and the Marine Corps in Washington), and a cyclist.
She has released 100 lbs. by taking control of her thoughts instead of allowing thoughts to control her.
She knows what it takes to take you and your team from where you are to where you want to be.
