Claim Your Voice Pod (formerly The VoiceOver Pod)

What if the very thing that once held you back became the foundation of your greatest success?
When Linda Fisk was growing up, she lived with a severe stutter. Standing in front of a room to speak wasn't just uncomfortable—it was terrifying. In fact, during her very first college speech, she passed out before she could even finish her opening sentence.
Today, Linda is a multi-award-winning CEO, two-time TEDx speaker, international bestselling author, university professor, and one of the world's leading voices in leadership, entrepreneurship, and women's empowerment.
So...what changed?
In this inspiring episode of Claim Your Voice, Linda shares the mindset shifts, practical tools, and unwavering perseverance that transformed fear into confidence and purpose into impact. We explore everything from overcoming glossophobia (the fear of public speaking), to creating an alter ego that helped her step onto the stage, to why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build.
Whether you're leading a company, launching a dream, or simply learning to trust your own voice again, Linda reminds us that our greatest challenges often become our greatest gifts.
 
In This Episode We Explore:
Linda's journey from a debilitating stutter to becoming an internationally recognized speaker
The surprising power of perseverance, preparation, and practice
How adopting an alter ego helped her overcome crippling stage fright
Why confidence is built through action, not perfection
The importance of creating a "power tribe" that reflects who you're becoming
The mindset shifts every entrepreneur and leader needs in today's rapidly changing world
Why lifelong learning is one of the greatest competitive advantages
The role of AI in helping entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses
How women can step into greater confidence, financial empowerment, and leadership
Why Linda believes "Your voice is a gateway to your soul."

What if you're successful... but not fully alive?
Many of us spend years checking the boxes, chasing goals, and doing everything "right," yet still feel like something is missing. We tell ourselves we're fine... until one day we realize we've been settling.
In this episode of Claim Your Voice, I sit down with author, speaker, and founder of Exquisitely Aligned, Gina Maier Vincent, to explore her powerful philosophy of Underliving—the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves while appearing successful on the outside.
From making the courageous decision to call off her wedding at 28, to becoming an advocate who helped save her husband's life through relentless determination, Gina shares how learning to trust her inner voice transformed every area of her life. Together, we explore what it means to slow down, create "white space," rediscover play, and reconnect with the life that's waiting beyond busyness.
If you've been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you've lost a little of your spark, this conversation is your invitation to pause... and ask yourself what is truly possible.
In This Episode We Explore:
What "Underliving" really means and how to recognize it in your own life
Why "fine" may be keeping you from living fully
The hidden cost of busyness and overachievement
How creating "white space" can transform your relationships, creativity, and well-being
The difference between productivity and purpose
Why discernment is more powerful than simply setting boundaries
How advocacy and speaking up can literally save lives
Reconnecting with joy through creativity, curiosity, and play
Why your voice is one of your greatest superpowers
Practical ways to feel more alive starting today
About Gina Maier Vincent
Gina Maier Vincent is the founder of Exquisitely Aligned, author, podcast and television host, keynote speaker, and creator of the emerging philosophy of Underliving. A modern observer of human behavior, Gina helps high achievers recognize where they've settled for less than what's possible and guides them back to lives filled with meaning, fulfillment, and aliveness.
Drawing from decades of experience, along with insights inspired by mentors like Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay, Gina teaches that extraordinary lives aren't built by doing more, but by becoming more aligned with who we truly are.
About the Book
Underliving: An Exquisitely Aligned Philosophy for Living Fully
In Underliving, Gina explores one of today's most important questions:
Why are so many successful people quietly experiencing a decline in aliveness?
Through personal stories, practical wisdom, and thought-provoking questions, she helps readers recognize where they've settled for "fine" and discover how to create a life that feels as extraordinary on the inside as it appears on the outside.

What if the answers you've been searching for have been quietly waiting inside you all along?
In this episode of Claim Your Voice, I sit down with the extraordinary Dr. Alisha Das, a spiritual teacher, author, ordained minister, actress, and one of the world's leading voices in angelology to explore intuition, faith, and what it really means to trust yourself.
Raised in a family rooted in science and Western medicine, Alisha shares how she learned to bridge logic with spirituality, proving that you don't have to choose between an analytical mind and a deeply intuitive heart.
We talk about her new Hay House book, Your Angelic Ancestry, the surprising relationship between science and spirituality, and why your mind is "a great servant but a terrible master."
One of the most powerful moments of our conversation was a guided experience that reminded me of something I needed to hear myself: sometimes the answers aren't found by pushing harder, they're found by becoming quiet enough to listen.
Whether you believe in angels, are curious about intuition, or simply want to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation will leave you feeling more connected, more peaceful, and more open to the wisdom already within you.
In This Episode We Explore:
Why science and spirituality don't have to compete
What "Your Angelic Ancestry" really means
Learning to trust your intuition—even when you're skeptical
The difference between angels, archangels, and spirit guides
A simple practice to quiet your mind and hear your inner wisdom
How movement, meditation, and presence help us reconnect with ourselves
The healing power of asking better questions
Why speaking your truth out loud changes everything

What if one simple word had the power to change the way we see ourselves and each other?
What better way to launch a podcast about claiming your voice than with a conversation about using it to celebrate someone else's? In this inaugural episode of Claim Your Voice, I sit down with my dear friend, award-winning athlete, sports psychologist, author, and nonprofit founder Barbara Edelston Peterson to explore the powerful concept behind her newest book, Kvell: A Word You Should Know.
Barbara is a pioneer in mountain biking, a multiple-time world champion XTERRA athlete, grandmother, speaker, and lifelong advocate for helping people live with purpose, resilience, and joy. But perhaps her greatest legacy is introducing the world to the Yiddish word kvell, a word that means to beam with pride, joy, and delight in someone else's accomplishments. Barbara believes it's far more than a word...it's a movement.
As the audiobook narrator of Kvell, I watched this message transform not only listeners but my own life. Since recording the book, I've found myself intentionally encouraging strangers, celebrating friends more openly, and even remembering to kvell over myself. The response has been incredible, proving that a few heartfelt words can create connection in a world experiencing an epidemic of loneliness.
Together, we explore why encouragement is one of the greatest gifts we can give, how shifting from judgment to celebration changes our relationships, and why using your voice to uplift someone else may be one of the most powerful ways to claim your own.
If you've ever wondered how a single compliment, a moment of recognition, or a simple "well done" can change someone's day or even their life, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
What "kvell" really means and why the world needs this word now more than ever• How encouragement creates confidence, connection, and community• Why celebrating others doesn't diminish your own success, it expands it• Practical ways to make kvelling a daily habit• The connection between claiming your voice and using it to uplift others• How Kvell has grown from a book into a worldwide movement through Kvell Dinners, Kvell Circles, and community gatherings

On this episode of Claim Your Voice, I sit down with entrepreneur, investor, author, speaker, media personality, and Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute, David Meltzer.
David's story is one of extraordinary success, devastating loss, and profound transformation. Raised by a single mother with six children, he was driven by one simple goal: to become rich enough to buy his mom a house and a car. He went on to earn his first million dollars shortly after law school, helped build billion-dollar companies, became CEO of the legendary Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency (the inspiration behind Jerry Maguire), and established himself as a leader in sports, technology, media, and entrepreneurship.
Then everything changed.
After losing more than $100 million and finding himself bankrupt, David was forced to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about success, happiness, faith, and purpose. That journey ultimately led him to a mission of empowering more than one billion people to be happy.
In our conversation, David shares why sports, business, and even social media are simply backdrops for something much bigger: learning to love what we don't like about what we love. We explore the power of gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, faith, and daily practices that create lasting success. David also explains why "too soon is a burden," why most people quit right before breakthrough, and how life experience is actually your greatest competitive advantage.
One of my favorite moments comes at the end when David shares three simple words that can change the trajectory of your life:
Ask for help.
Whether you're building a business, launching a creative career, reinventing yourself after 40, or simply trying to live with greater purpose, this episode is filled with wisdom that will help you shorten the distance between where you are and where you want to be.
In This Episode, We Explore:Why Jerry Maguire is actually a love story, not a sports movieLearning to love what you don't like about what you loveThe difference between money and happinessHow David lost over $100 million—and what he learned from rebuildingGratitude, forgiveness, and accountability as life-changing practicesWhy "too soon is a burden"The compounding effect of daily habits and consistencyWhy people over 40 may have a greater advantage than they realizeSocial media, personal branding, and building communityThe importance of faith and believing in something bigger than yourselfWhy asking for help is one of the most powerful skills you can developHow being of service creates abundance and fulfillmentConnect with David Meltzer

On this episode, I sit down with Tim Duffy—multiple Emmy®-winning producer/director and former network executive turned mindfulness teacher and coach. 
Tim Duffy is a trauma-informed mindfulness expert and executive coach who specializes in high-stress, emotionally complex environments. He’s worked with Fortune 500 executives, Olympic athletes, Michelin-starred chefs, law enforcement leaders, network presidents, and frontline mental health providers. Certified through the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and trained in trauma care through NICABM, Tim blends his background in behavioral psychology with over 10,000 hours of contemplative practice and real-world business success to create tools that are emotionally intelligent, practical, and scalable.
A two-time Emmy Award-winner and former Paramount network executive, Tim brings a rare ability to make well-being engaging, memorable, and deeply human. He helps caregivers and leaders not just reset—but rewire for joy. Tim has shaped stories across traditional TV, streaming, digital, and social, and now helps creatives and teams access presence, clarity, and flow. We dive into how authenticity wins in casting, why your first 3–5 seconds can make or break an audition, and how mindfulness transforms performance, collaboration, and leadership.
Tim takes us behind the scenes of his career—from early days at Game Show Network to launching the West Coast division at Spike TV (now Paramount Network)—sharing what buyers listen for, how he evaluates truth in a read, and when improvisation helps (and when it absolutely doesn’t). You’ll hear a hilarious and humbling story about giving notes to a powerhouse producer, plus what it took to shape narration with Emeril Lagasse in post—proof that even on-camera legends benefit from expert VO direction.
We also get practical about mindfulness for creatives: moving from “zombie mode” (lost in thought) to the mindful witness; practicing compassionate accountability; and using an attitude of allowing to free your voice, make wiser choices, and sustain your creative momentum. If you’re a working pro or just getting started, Tim’s blend of industry know-how and inner skills will help you show up real, connected, and ready.
In this episode, we explore:
The casting buyer’s ear: how to spark a “huh, interesting” in seconds
Slate or no slate? Using dynamic contrast to signal humanity fast
Smart improv: when a “freestyle” take helps, and when it hurts
Directing narration: shaping emphasis, enunciation, and emotional truth
Mindfulness for performers: escaping overthinking and dropping into flow
“Alignment” as a compass for VO careers—and why training still matters

On this podcast episode I dive deep with Wesley Stevens, the founder of Vox, Inc. Wes shares his fascinating journey from starting as an intern in the voiceover industry to becoming a highly successful agent. In this episode, explore the evolution of voiceover, the impact of technology on the industry, and what it takes to make it as a voiceover artist today. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the scene, this episode is packed with insights and advice from one of the industry's most experienced agents.
 
Wes has advocated for talent as a profession since 1994. He started in Columbus, Ohio at a small agency booking variety acts before joining Talent Group, Inc. (TGI) in Los Angeles in 1995 as an assistant. Seven years later, he acquired TGI's voice-over department and launched VOX, Inc. Wes has represented some of the biggest names in film, television, social media and music, alongside brands including Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Fox, GE, Apple, Dodge, Jaguar and Sprint. His first booking of note was placing David Hyde Pierce in "A Bugs Life," and the journey took him back to Pixar in 2009, when he placed Ed Asner in "Up." Along that road there have been many campaigns, series, films, and fond memories.
 
Having built the company off the springboard of his specialization in animation and gaming, the company’s success led to diversification into celebrity endorsements and innovative deals in hosting, podcasting, AI and other emerging media and technologies. Wes helps talented people create powerful, equitable, and long-term relationships. He thrills at the opportunity to connect the right talented people with each other.
 
Wes was born in Virginia. He is a military brat, an Eagle Scout and a graduate of the University of Virginia. Wes has run seven full marathons from Honolulu to Florence, Italy. He is very involved with Amazon Conservation Team and with Best Buddies, a global charity promoting the full integration of individuals with intellectual disabilities into mainstream society. He is passionate about creativity in all its expressions. Wes resides in Los Angeles with his husband and two pups.
