What if the only thing standing between you and tripling your income… was thinking like a CEO instead of an artist? In this powerful episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella interviews beauty boss Cristal Stella, a bridal hair and makeup agency owner based in Cancun, who went from $10K months to $30K in just 30 days. But this was not luck. It was leadership, systems, team investment and CEO energy. After implementing one major mindset shift inside Pretty Rich Bosses — "Don't be an artist, be a CEO" — everything changed. Cristal stopped working in the business and started working on it. She invested in her team, raised standards, improved compensation, trained her artists, and repositioned herself as a true agency owner. The results? Cristela tripled her income and is scaling toward 400 weddings a year which earned her the financial freedom to buy a car and move her family into a new home! If you are stuck at $8K–$12K months and wondering what it takes to break through, this episode is your wake-up call.

There's a big difference between being busy and building something that lasts. Many entrepreneurs don't realize they're stuck in that gap. They're working hard, juggling responsibilities, hustling nights and weekends — but the business isn't really moving forward. In this episode of Building Better Developers, Army veteran and founder of Skillful Brands, Antwon Person, breaks down what actually creates forward momentum in a business. And it's not hype, hacks, or grinding harder. It's mindset, structure, and knowing when to leverage. The Entrepreneurial Mindset Isn't About Hustle — It's About Structure When Antwon left a 22-year military career and stepped into entrepreneurship, he brought discipline and leadership with him. What he discovered quickly, though, was that discipline alone doesn't build a company. Like many new entrepreneurs, he was busy. Very busy. But busy didn't mean structured. He realized something that most founders eventually learn the hard way: being busy in your business does not build a business. You can answer emails all day. You can tweak branding, post on social media, and chase opportunities. But without structure underneath those actions, you're just reacting — not building. That realization changed everything. Instead of chasing more tactics, he looked for clarity — and found it by connecting with someone who already had a blueprint. Momentum without structure leads to burnout. Structure without momentum leads to stagnation. The entrepreneurial mindset requires both — in the right order. Why Your First Mentor Doesn't Need to Be in Your Industry There's a common mistake new entrepreneurs make: assuming they need a mentor who does exactly what they do. Antwon disagrees — at least in the beginning. When you're building the foundation of a business, the fundamentals are universal. Every business needs clear goals, defined processes, the right mindset, and repeatable systems. At the early stage, what you need most isn't industry secrets — it's business fundamentals. He sees too many entrepreneurs jumping into advanced marketing tactics before they've validated their structure. They're polishing something that hasn't been built properly yet. It's like trying to optimize a machine that hasn't been assembled. Don't work on Phase 3 problems while you're still in Phase 1. Build proof of principle first. Everything else comes after. Once your foundation is solid and revenue is predictable, niche-specific coaching becomes powerful. But without a base, advanced tactics won't stick. The $10K Rule and the Leverage Phase One of the most practical insights from this conversation is Antwon's revenue-based approach to scaling. Up to around $10K per month, many entrepreneurs can manage operations solo — if they have structure. Beyond that point, things change. The workload compounds, communication increases, tasks multiply. Growth creates friction. That's where leverage becomes necessary. Instead of calling it "growth mode," Antwon frames it as entering the leverage phase — and that shift in language matters. Leverage means delegation, systems that support scale, clear onboarding, and defined ownership. Without it, revenue growth just creates exhaustion. With it, growth becomes sustainable. Hiring help isn't about spending money. It's about buying back focus and multiplying capacity. Why Hiring a VA Feels Hard — and How to Fix It For many entrepreneurs, hiring a virtual assistant feels overwhelming. There's hesitation: Will they understand what I need? Is it worth the cost? Will this just create more work for me? Antwon has lived through that. In the early stages, bringing on VAs felt like adding another job to his plate — confusion, repetition, miscommunication. The problem wasn't the VA. It was the lack of onboarding and structure. So he built a system. Now, every VA goes through a clear onboarding process, alignment with company mission and goals, defined task management inside tools like Monday or Asana, and screen-recorded walkthroughs for clarity. Instead of typing long explanations, he records a short screen demo showing exactly what he wants done and attaches it to the task. That single change reduced confusion dramatically. He also emphasizes ownership — VAs aren't treated like task robots, they're treated like team members. That shift alone changes performance. Stop Networking to Sell — Start Networking to Serve Too many entrepreneurs approach networking with one goal: sell. Antwon flips that completely. When he meets someone new, he focuses on learning who they are, understanding what partners they're looking for, offering value first, and leveraging connections instead of pushing services. He even shared a small but practical tactic he picked up in a free mastermind group — placing a QR code on his Zoom background so people could instantly access his information. Not a sales pitch. A friction reducer. And those small adjustments compound over time. The strongest networks aren't built on transactions. They're built on trust, value, and long-term reciprocity. Side Hustle vs. Company: The Real Mindset Shift One of the most important distinctions Antwon makes is between running a business and building a company. A business depends on you. A company operates beyond you. A business can generate income. A company can generate legacy. If your goal is supplemental income, operating as a side hustle may be fine. But if your goal is generational wealth or long-term impact, the mindset must shift. You have to design something that can function without your constant involvement — documented systems, delegated responsibilities, clear structure, leadership beyond yourself. And that shift starts internally. Because the hardest part of entrepreneurship isn't marketing or operations. It's believing you don't have to do it all yourself. The Real Blocker Is Mindset Throughout this episode, one theme keeps resurfacing: mindset is the biggest barrier. Not lack of information. Not a lack of opportunity. Mindset. Entrepreneurs stall because they listen to too many voices, hesitate to start, refuse to delegate, treat a business like a hobby, or avoid structure. Once the mindset shifts, everything else becomes simpler. Not easy — but simpler. Final Takeaway If you feel stuck in your business right now, ask yourself: Are you building something structured — or just staying busy? Have you proven your foundation? Have you entered the leverage phase? Or are you still operating like a side hustle when your goal is a company? Forward momentum doesn't come from more hustle. It comes from clarity, structure, and the willingness to step into the next phase of growth. That's the entrepreneurial mindset shift that changes everything.

What stops talented hypnotherapists from making good money?In this episode, Adam welcomes back guest hypnotist Victoria Gallagher for a direct conversation about abundance, money blocks, imposter syndrome, pricing, visibility, sales, and the mindset shifts that separate struggling therapists from thriving ones.Victoria shares how she transitioned from financial services into hypnosis, why so many practitioners stay trapped in scarcity thinking, and what really needs to change if therapists want to build a profitable practice. They also explore the overlap between hypnosis, influence, identity, nervous system regulation, and business growth.This is an episode about much more than money. It is about congruency, confidence, and becoming the kind of person who can create a bigger impact in the world.### In this episode:- Why many hypnotherapists stay stuck financially- The danger of disempowering suggestions in training- How scarcity thinking sabotages client acquisition- Why sales is not manipulation- The role of worthiness, identity, and confidence in business- Why experience matters more than endless certifications- How resentment, nervous system dysregulation, and fear of visibility block income- Victoria's framework for helping people move towards consistent 10K monthsLinks and ResourcesVictoria's Skool Community: https://hypnotist10k.comAdam Cox mentorship taster session: https://www.adamcox.co.uk/mentorship.htmlVictoria's previous episode on The HypnotistIf you enjoyed this conversation, share it with a therapist, coach, or entrepreneur who needs to think bigger about the value they create.Show NotesAdam is joined once again by Victoria Gallagher for a conversation about the real reasons many hypnotherapists struggle to make money.They explore why so many talented practitioners remain stuck in scarcity, how disempowering suggestions can shape professional identity, and why business growth is often less about strategy alone and more about subconscious beliefs around worthiness, visibility, selling, and receiving.Victoria explains how her background in financial services shaped her thinking around money, why she believes many therapists undercharge, and how unresolved emotional patterns such as fear, resentment, and self-rejection can quietly cap income.Adam and Victoria also discuss the importance of congruency: if hypnosis can change beliefs, then hypnotherapists should be able to use those same tools to transform their own results. The conversation covers client acquisition, pricing, community, identity activation, and the mindset required to create sustainable success.### Highlights- Victoria's journey from stockbroker to hypnotherapist- Why “only a few of you will make money” is a dangerous suggestion- The hidden money blocks many therapists carry- Why some practitioners hide behind more qualifications- The difference between learning hypnosis and actually doing the work- How sales and hypnosis overlap- Why therapists must stop treating marketing as something dirty- The role of community in normalising higher income- Victoria's step-by-step approach to helping entrepreneurs reach 10K months### Quote from the episode“If you can have an idea that you are meant for more, then allow yourself to do the work that helps you believe in that.”#TheHypnotist #AdamCox #VictoriaGallagher #Hypnosis #Hypnotherapy #MoneyMindset #BusinessGrowth #Mindset #Manifestation #LawOfAttraction

If you're marketing yourself as “affordable” or “budget friendly,” you may be unintentionally sabotaging your business.In this episode, Jen breaks down why positioning yourself as the cheapest option will keep you stuck working harder for less money—and what to do instead if you want to attract higher-end floral clients.Because premium clients aren't looking for the cheapest florist.They're looking for the most confident one.In This EpisodeThe “Affordable Florist” TrapJen shares a real example from a wedding Facebook group where a florist advertised herself as:“Affordable and budget-friendly” and charging wholesale pricing plus labor.This isn't a business model—it's a job.And it creates a cycle where florists stay busy but never profitable.The First Energy Shift: You Don't Need Every ClientWhen your worth is tied to volume, you'll feel pressure to book every inquiry.But successful florists know:You don't need everyone.You need the right clients.Premium clients can sense desperation.Confidence attracts better opportunities.The Power of MinimumsSetting a minimum instantly changes your positioning.Minimums:protect your timefilter inquiriessignal expertisecreate perceived valueMoving from a $5K minimum to an $8K minimum can completely change the type of client who reaches out.Upgrade Your LanguageSmall changes in language elevate your brand.Examples:Centerpieces → TablescapesDelivery fee → Logistics & installationLuxury clients respond to confident, clear communication.Stop “Walmarting” Your WeddingsIf your messaging focuses on saving money, you'll attract budget-focused clients.Instead:Show scaleShow abundanceShow design confidenceSell the experience, not the stems.Invest in the Details That Elevate Your WorkSometimes attracting higher budgets requires upgrading your tools and rentals.Examples Jen shares:ribbed votiveselevated taper candlesstatement archesSmall design upgrades can dramatically elevate how your work appears to clients.Build Relationships With the Right PlannersFull-service planners are often the gateway to higher-budget weddings.The easiest vendors to work with get referred again and again.Relationships are one of the most powerful forms of marketing.Your Money Mindset MattersIf you secretly believe flowers are too expensive, your clients will feel that.Ask yourself:Do I believe flowers are worth $10K?$30K?$50K?Your business can only grow to the level of what you believe is possible.Systems Create ConfidenceHigher-end events require systems:labor planninginstallation mechanicslogisticsteam coordinationConfidence comes from preparation.Want Help Elevating Your Business?Two ways to work with Jen:

A client spent $10K building a webinar funnel. I told her to validate the offer first—a $1K test before spending more. She couldn't. She'd already invested too much. She spent her entire savings. $25K total. Zero sales. Bankrupted the business. The leads probably would have converted eventually. She just ran out of runway before that could happen. This is the sunk cost trap. The investment becomes the reason to keep going—instead of the results. Your homework: Is there something you're holding onto because of what you've already invested—not because it's working? Ask: If I had spent $0 on this, would I start it today? Want the funnel alignment training? DM me on Instagram, mention this episode, and I'll send it free. Need someone to tell you the truth before you spend? That's Momentum. $200/month. Link is here.

From structuring offers and pricing properly, to building marketing that brings the right clients in, to learning how to confidently close higher value deals.This program has now helped 416 creative businesses, and collectively they've generated over $136M in revenue after implementing these strategies.But what makes each round powerful isn't just the frameworks. It's the people.Round 15 is already filling with an incredible group of creatives. Brand content teams stepping in to build stronger systems. Wedding photographers repositioning into higher-end markets. Creatives already doing $80K–$100K who want better leverage and scalability. And others who know their talent is there, but their business structure hasn't caught up yet.We intentionally cap each round at 35 businesses so the experience stays personal, strategic, and focused on real implementation.Once those spots are filled, applications close.If you're ready to stop operating your business on guesswork and finally build something scalable, make sure you apply before the deadline this Wednesday.→ Apply here: www.creativrise.com——Free Tools & Trainings:→ Pricing Calculator: https://www.creativrise.com/pricingcalculator→ Pitching Masterclass Course: https://www.creativrise.com/pitchingmasterclass→ Sales Call Formula Course: https://www.creativrise.com/offers/RM2ZPtZx/checkout→ Productivity Course: https://www.creativrise.com/productivity→ Money Management Training: https://www.creativrise.com/moneytraining→ Fix Your Inquiry Form: https://www.creativrise.com/inquiryform——Listen & Subscribe:→ Apple Podcasts: apple.co/creativrise→ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/creativrise——Follow Along:→ Instagram: @creativrise | @joeyspeers | @christyjspeers

What does the Winter Olympics have to do with monthly giving? More than you think. Watching Alysa Liu's gold medal performance, I couldn't stop thinking about magnetism, how some athletes make you want to cheer for them, root for them, watch them again and again. That's the energy monthly giving requires.In this episode, I explain why simply adding a “give monthly” checkbox to your donation form isn't a strategy. Recurring revenue isn't built through automation; it's built through retention, campaign energy, and relational depth. Monthly giving is the result of belonging, not billing. If your recurring program has stalled or never quite taken off, this episode will help you see what needs to happen first, and how to build a system that compounds instead of resets. Monthly giving isn't the engine; it's what happens when the engine is working.Topics:Why monthly giving is the result, not the strategyThe difference between a payment feature and a real programRetention before recurring revenueWhy trust-building must happen before asking for commitmentThe role of campaign energy in monthly giving growthBelonging vs. billing: creating identity for donorsHow to know if your nonprofit is ready to launchWhy donors are absolutely “monthly people”Subscription economy and donor behaviorHow to integrate monthly giving into your full fundraising ecosystemFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Many bioprocess automation projects fail, not because the technology is wrong, but because no one clearly defined the problem before buying the robot.In this episode, David Brühlmann sits down with Anthony Catacchio, CEO of Product Insight, to explore why rigorous system design and honest problem definition matter more than any individual technology, and how industrial robotics expertise translates directly into smarter lab automation.Highlights from the episode:Why biotech's "special case" mindset around automation is costing companies time and money — and what industrial robotics already has figured out (02:45).How Anthony's cross-industry career — from surgical devices to warehouse robotics — shaped a process-first approach to system design (05:05).The automation paradox: how to increase throughput and reduce errors without eliminating the expert human judgment your process depends on (09:13).Vision-guided robotics, AGVs, and quadrupeds: what has genuinely changed in capability and what that means for bioprocess applications (11:21).Human-bot testing: the low-cost validation method that reveals workflow flaws before a single robot is purchased (15:07).The $1M vs. $10K decision: a real case study where the right answer was walking away from automation entirely (15:54).Why talking a client out of an expensive project is sometimes the highest-value service a technical consultant can deliver (17:38).Building long-term credibility by recommending the simplest solution that actually solves the problem (19:24).Smart insight: The most expensive automation mistake happens at the whiteboard, not on the manufacturing floor. Define the problem with surgical precision before you ever evaluate a solution.In Part 2, the conversation continues with a deeper look at building automation systems that deliver practical solutions to bioprocessing challenges without overengineering.Tune in for practical strategies and honest reflections on automation, system design, and the importance of clear problem definition in biotech hardware development.Connect with Anthony Catacchio:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-catacchio-b881581bProduct Insight website: www.productinsight.comNext step:Need fast CMC guidance? → Get rapid CMC decision support hereSupport the show

If you're just getting started with e-commerce and you're wondering how to actually scale with limited cash and no audience, this episode is for you. I get asked this all the time: "Nathan, how do I get started when I only have a small budget?" Here's the truth: most founders tattoo their business idea to their arm. They fall in love with the brand, the product, the vision — and they hold on even when the unit economics don't work. But after launching Healthish to $1 million a year at close to 40% net margins, and helping thousands of DTC brands inside Foundr, I know exactly what works. In this episode, I break down the exact playbook I'd use if I were starting a brand new e-commerce business tomorrow with no audience and just a $10,000 budget. This is strategic, tactical, and based on what I've done and what I've seen work inside the Foundr ecosystem. Here's what you'll take away: Why high-margin products are non-negotiable — aim for 70-80% gross margin, lightweight, easy to ship How to allocate $2,500 to influencer seeding: gifting to 50-100 nano/micro influencers for UGC and organic reach The AI tool stack that lets you run lean: Manus, ChatGPT, Notion AI, Triple Whale, Canva Pro, and AdCreative.ai Why I'd spend $2,000 testing paid ads on warm audiences and messaging before scaling — not chasing 10x ROAS on day one How to build one strong product landing page using tools like Unbounce, ClickFunnels, or Shogun instead of a massive Shopify site The $2,000 emergency fund strategy: reserve cash for unexpected wins, scaling inventory, or paying creators who blow up If you're sitting on $10K and wondering where to start, or you've already launched but your unit economics don't work, this episode will show you the modern playbook for building a profitable DTC brand using AI, influencers, and smart budgeting.

Andrew Foxwell has been running Meta ads ever since they existed 16 years. He co-founded Foxwell Digital, built Foxwell Founders into a 550-member paid community spending half a billion dollars a month on Meta collectively, and recently stopped pulling levers entirely to focus on audits, coaching, and what's actually working in 2026.In this episode, we get into the structural shift happening inside Meta right now, from micro-targeting to creative-led everything, and what that means if you're running a brand, running an agency, or trying to stay relevant as a media buyer.We cover:Why Meta's GEM protocols are rewiring how brands need to think about organic and paid togetherThe real reason your Meta campaigns keep serving existing customers (and the creative fix)Ugly ads vs. polished brand creative — and what the data actually saysHow to set up a brand new Meta account with $5–10K and not burn itApple's ad network as the most underrated incremental channel in performance marketing right nowWhen to fire your agency — and the specific metrics that tell you it's timeAI creative workflows, custom GPTs, and how Foxwell is building tooling for the communityStraight talk from someone looking inside 20–30 ad accounts a month.

I completed the 2026 RunDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend... tackling the Moana-themed 10K AND the Tangled-themed Princess Half Marathon as part of the Beauty and the Beast Challenge! In this video I'm giving you my full, honest recap: the magical moments, the things that need improvement, and a medal reveal that did NOT disappoint.

AI For Practice Owners Webinar – Get Ahead in 2026 Before It's Too Late Join Mike Green (founder of Doctor Demographics, with over 40 years helping practice owners with location strategy, marketing, and growth analytics) in this live webinar recording as he reveals why AI is already reshaping non-clinical aspects of private practices — and why getting started now gives you a huge competitive edge. Most practice owners are still asking: "How will AI actually hit my practice?" or assuming it's years away or only for big corporate groups. Mike flips that script: AI will dramatically impact marketing, patient retention, customer service, social media, websites, admin tasks, and more — within the next 5 years (likely much sooner). Drawing parallels to the social media boom of the mid-2000s, he warns: "Second place is always the first loser." Early adopters win big with more time, higher revenue, and practices that practically run themselves — all without massive budgets. Mike is joined by two powerhouse guests: Eric Sorenson (international speaker, ex-practice owner, AI & marketing expert): Shares how AI acts as the "great equalizer" to escape the time-for-money trap, double your business, and build freedom. He highlights rapid advancements (business landscape changing dramatically in just 1–2 years), agentic AI, voice tools, NotebookLM for learning, HIPAA-compliant AI agents, and his RCCF prompting method. Grab his free prompt guide at prompts.platinpartnergroup.com. Kevin St. Clergy (author of Beyond Blind Blaming, practice coach & speaker): Dives into practical "vibe coding" wins — building custom tools via voice (e.g., a $100 assessment saving $10K/year), Manis AI for apps/websites, Claude.ai for copy/SOPs, Canva + AI for social graphics, and branding strategies that turn your website into fresh logos, posts, and plans. This session is packed with motivation, real examples, and actionable insights for dentists, physicians, and healthcare entrepreneurs ready to leverage AI for profitability, time freedom, and growth — while regulations slow clinical AI adoption.

Most physical therapy clinics market the wrong thing.They promote visits, treatments, and techniques — but patients don't actually want those things. What they want is the outcome: getting back to running, lifting, sports, or living pain-free.In this episode, Jimmy McKay and Dave Kittle explore how PT clinic owners can shift from transactional care to transformation-based care.Drawing insights from thinkers like Seth Godin, Gary Vee, Rory Sutherland, Chris Voss, and Chris Do, they explain how better positioning, marketing, and communication can turn a one-time patient into a long-term relationship.They also discuss why selling programs beats selling packages, why vanity metrics like social media views don't build clinics, and how the first phone call with a patient may determine whether they ever become a client.If you're a clinic owner trying to grow revenue, improve patient engagement, and create a stronger brand, this episode will change how you think about your business.What You'll Learn• Why patients buy outcomes — not treatments• How to position your clinic as a transformation machine• Why social media views don't equal patients• How to turn a $10K client into a $70K lifetime relationship• The difference between selling programs vs packages• Why the first phone call determines patient conversions• The importance of asking better intake questionsGuests & ResourcesDave KittleWebsite: https://conciergepainrelief.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedavekittleshow/featuredTony MaritatoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MedicareBillingSponsorsSaRA Health — https://sarahealth.comEMPOWER EMR — https://empoweremr.comU.S. Physical Therapy — https://usph.com

A weekend of sparkle, sneakers, and shared heart. Princess Half Marathon Weekend brought out everything we love about runDisney—creative costumes, cool-weather miles, and castle magic—but also the kind of community you can feel in your bones. We navigated an expo frenzy as Brooks' princess-themed shoes sent lines snaking across the building, watched Disney pivot fast to keep characters and bands on course during a misty 10K, and soaked in small moments that turned into big memories: a family's first 5K together, a triumphant TinkerBob, and the scent of BoardWalk bacon drifting through a fast, happy morning.The half marathon became a quiet masterpiece. Overcast skies, steady breezes, and a surprise wave from Cinderella, the Prince, and Fairy Godmother lifted runners through those famous Magic Kingdom miles. Near the finish, a semicircle of fairy godmothers dusted us with wishes, and the course felt less like a race and more like a rite of passage. Some of us set PRs. Others walked every step on purpose. All of us leaned on run-walk-run, hydration, and patience—the essentials Jeff Galloway taught us so many times.And then the finish line gave us a moment we'll never forget. A chair where Jeff once stood filled with Mickey gloves, ribbons, and a lone Gymboss. Pacers gathered with flags, cheering wave after wave just as Jeff would, offering thumbs-ups and “you did it” to faces still catching their breath. When the sun finally broke through, it felt like a blessing on a weekend that was both hard and healing. We also check in on races from Tel Aviv to Seattle and Atlanta, sharing wins, decade PRs, and lessons that carry beyond the parks.If you ran, cheered, or simply needed a reminder that miles can mend, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and tell us: What's your favorite Princess Weekend moment—or your best Galloway memory?

      What if the very thing holding you back isn't your body… but your fear? In this week's episode of Be a Warrior Podcast, I'm coming to you in real time  in the middle of something new, uncomfortable, and humbling. If you've been following along, you know last week I talked about life lessons from the ski slopes and how we have to stop looking down at our feet and start looking ahead at what's coming. That lesson didn't end on the mountain. It followed me straight into this week. As an above-knee amputee, I've learned that one of our earliest survival habits is looking down. When you first get your prosthesis, you watch it constantly. You can't feel your foot, so you visually confirm it's there. Every step is deliberate. Every movement is monitored. Adaptive skiing taught me the same lesson when I ski with one leg, my instinct is to look down at my ski to make sure it's under me. But when you look down, you miss what's coming at you. Hazards. Forks in the road. The bigger picture. And that's not just skiing. That's life. This week, I'm leaning into something I do every year  choosing a word that will guide me. My word for 2026 is trust. And wouldn't you know it? I was immediately handed an opportunity to live it. A prosthetics company from France, Hopper, reached out and asked me to try their running blade. Now, if you know me, you know I've used a running blade before. I even completed a 10K during my first year as an amputee adding socks mid-race as my limb volume shrank, hoping my leg would stay on. That race required grit. It required strength. But above all, it required trust. This new blade, however, is different. It required a different knee a microprocessor knee I've never used before. For six years I trusted my Ottobock C-Leg. Last September, I transitioned to the Össur Navi knee because it's waterproof  I can snorkel with it, travel with it, take it into the ocean. I love how it responds. I trust it. And now? I'm back at square one. New knee. New blade. New mechanics. New fear. New Blade- Trust the Process   Hopper Running Blade Standing between parallel bars in an office, with people watching and cameras recording, I felt that old instinct creep back in. Tight muscles. Hesitation. Looking down. Wanting to be good immediately. Wanting to “perform.” Wanting to prove. But trust doesn't grow in 30 minutes under fluorescent lights. So I brought the blade home. And here I am walking in it around my house. Stepping outside. Trying to “run,” which currently looks more like a gallop from a newborn deer. It's awkward. It's humbling. It's vulnerable. And it's exactly where growth happens. Here's what I've realized: when we don't trust, fear takes over. And fear tightens us up. We don't relax into movement. We don't open up. We don't visualize success we visualize what could go wrong. What if I fall? What if I break my wrist? What if I embarrass myself in public? I've fallen before. On sidewalks. In front of cars that didn't even stop to check on me. I've tripped on hikes. I've fallen skiing. And every single time, I learned something. Failure is feedback. On my last ski trip, I intentionally chose the harder side of the slope. Why? Because I realized if I wasn't falling, I probably wasn't pushing. I did fall exhausted from aggressive turns my muscles weren't prepared for. And that fall told me exactly what I needed to strengthen. If we never risk failure, we never gather information. And that applies far beyond prosthetics or skiing. It applies to relationships. To careers. To faith. To stepping into something new. Trust requires us to first identify what we're afraid of. For me, I had to name it: I'm afraid of falling. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. I'm afraid of injury that could set me back. Once I name the fear, I can address it. Once I address it, I can begin building trust.     That's my call to action for you this week. First: choose a word. A guiding word for your year. Maybe it's trust. Maybe it's courage. Maybe it's surrender. Maybe it's strength. But choose something intentional. Second: identify where fear is showing up in your life. Where are you tightening up? Where are you looking down instead of forward? If you're a new amputee and you're exhausted from thinking through every step — I see you. I remember the mental drain of early prosthetic use. I remember wondering if I'd ever be able to carry laundry without watching my foot. And now? I do it without thinking. But it took time. It took repetition. It took falling. It took lifting my chin. If you're not wearing your prosthesis because you don't trust it, the only way through is through. Wear it. Practice in your home. Slow your gait. Gradually lift your eyes forward. You will build that trust, one step at a time. And if your struggle isn't physical — if it's relational, emotional, spiritual — the principle is the same. Face the fear. Name it. Then take one small step toward trust. This week, I'm in the middle of it with you. Learning a new knee. Learning a new blade. Learning to open up again after five years of not truly running. I don't know yet how it will end. But I know this: I won't build trust by standing still. There is a warrior within you.

In this episode of Publish and Paid Podcast, I break down exactly how I generated $125,000 within 18 months of releasing my first book - and how that book became the foundation of a multi-million-dollar business.I share the real journey behind turning my book into an ecosystem while I was still a middle school educator - from selling memberships and publishing services to launching high-ticket offers and building recurring revenue. This wasn't luck. It was positioning, repetition, and strategic investment.In this episode, I cover:→ How I positioned my first book as a subject matter expert tool→ Why learning marketing changed everything for me→ How a free challenge evolved into recurring revenue→ The shift from book sales to publishing services→ How I created my first $5,000 package (and why it changed my life)→ Why selling one offer consistently beats launching everything at once→ The exact moment I broke past my $6K/month plateau→ How a $2,000 coaching investment helped me reach my first $10K month→ Why systems matter more than fancy platforms→ How to build an ecosystem from your bookWhether you're a coach, consultant, executive, speaker, or service provider, this episode will show you how to stop treating your book like a product - and start using it like a business asset.Takeaways:• Your book should position you as a subject matter expert• Sell one offer consistently before adding more• Recurring revenue creates stability and scale• Success leaves clues - study and apply• Invest strategically when you hit a revenue ceiling• Build systems before you build complexity• Your book is the gateway to your ecosystemSound Bites:“Your book is not the end product - it's the entry point.”“Sell one thing. Sell it consistently. Then scale.”“Success leaves clues - you just have to apply them.”“If you're stuck at a revenue threshold, you may need strategic help.”“I didn't just write a book - I built an ecosystem.”

What if the thing standing between you and your best business year has nothing to do with your strategy, your niche, or your packages?What if it's five simple daily habits that take less than an hour total, and most service providers are skipping them completely?I ran a 30-day Standards of Excellence Challenge inside Strategist Society at the start of 2026, and y'all, the results completely blew my mind. Students went from zero clients to three clients in 30 days. Others booked their first VIP days. Some revived contracts they thought were dead in the water. And all of it came from five non-negotiable daily habits.I've been doing these habits for two years. I know the Strategist Society members who do them consistently get the best results. But this was the first time we'd ever run a 30-day challenge around them, and now I'm taking you behind the scenes so you can implement them too.These are the Standards of Excellence, and today I'm breaking down all five.In this episode:The episode teaches five simple daily habits (“Standards of Excellence”) that improve mindset, consistency, and business growth.Consistent daily actions matter more than complicated strategies for building a successful business.Daily client conversations and outreach are the primary drivers of predictable revenue growth.Repeating small habits creates identity and mindset shifts that help business owners show up more confidently.Sustainable habits designed for busy service providers produce long-term momentum without burnout.Resources & Links:Ready to scale past $10K months?

In ABR Episode 439, Airey Bros Radio sits down with Devin Fahey, Head Cross Country Coach at Cerro Coso College (3C2A), after one of the most impressive first-year JUCO coaching seasons in California community college cross country.In Year 1, Fahey led Cerro Coso to program-first milestones, including their first team score, a conference podium finish, a SoCal Regional appearance, and the program's first-ever 3C2A State Championship qualifier. Devin breaks down how he built a culture of psychological safety + accountability, why “show a sign of life” was the perfect early-season standard, and what it really takes to recruit and develop athletes at the community college / junior college level.We also dig into Devin's coaching influences — including his time as a Division I athlete at the University of Houston under Steve Magness and as a coach at Gonzaga under legendary Pat Tyson — plus why Cerro Coso's high desert trails, facilities, and affordability can be a sneaky advantage for JUCO runners looking to level up.If you're a high school runner, JUCO prospect, distance coach, or someone who loves the behind-the-scenes reality of building a program from scratch, this one is packed with value.Fueled by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching

Most nonprofits think influencer partnerships mean celebrity shoutouts, paid posts, or “social media strategy.” That's not what this is.In this episode, I break down why influencer partnerships are actually about borrowed trust, not follower count. I explain why 99% of nonprofits are missing this opportunity, how to build true ambassador relationships instead of transactional posts, and why this works even if you don't have a big budget.

Kettle Chips: Cameron Healy. The Wild Bet That Made a BrandMost founders expand the “right” way: local → regional → national → international.Cameron Healy totally skipped the “national” part. When Kettle Chips was still an upstart regional brand, Cameron made a move that seems almost reckless: he launched his thick-cut, kettle-cooked chips to the United Kingdom — one of the most competitive “crisps” markets on earth — before conquering the U.S.And that wasn't his first risky move. Before Kettle, Cameron was a turban-wearing Sikh entrepreneur in 1970s Salem, Oregon, building a natural foods business…until he was abruptly fired. He started again from scratch with a $10,000 bank loan. Inspired by the extra thick, crunchy potato chips that he sampled on a trip to Hawaii, he taught himself how to fry sliced potatoes through trial-and-error. Then, just as Kettle started taking off overseas, another trip to Hawaii sparked a second act: Kona Brewing — a craft beer brand that initially lost $20K a month — for years — before Cameron was able to make it work.Meanwhile, buoyed by its UK success, Kettle chips eventually spread across the US, becoming the top-selling natural chip in the country.

I've been told to charge less so more people say yes. I've been told to just serve and the money will come. And for a while, I listened. Until I helped a client generate $80K and only got paid $3K for it. That experience changed everything for me. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason business coaches struggle to charge $10K for their services and it's not what most people think. I'm sharing the story of how I let someone anchor me to a low price, the mindset shift that had to happen, and the 5 things I believe every coach needs to do to sign their first $10K client. If you're a business coach who knows your service delivers results, but your pricing doesn't reflect that yet, this one's for you.---- Want to build a podcast that attracts high-ticket clients and grows your coaching business?
