Life coach Mel Robbins is a straight talker. She tells you exactly what you need to do, so you start achieving what you want. Every Thursday she shares five things: inspiring people to follow, TED talks she's watching, and people she's interviewing. Recent topics include why you might feel stuck in your life, why consistency is key, and how to outsmart your self-doubt. If you want to learn a specific skill, Robbins is great at identifying people who you can learn from.
