On this week's episode, I sit down with Thomas Castelli, real estate-focused CPA and partner at Hall CPA, to dive deep into real, practical tax strategies that can save investors thousands. If you've ever wondered whether your CPA is leaving money on the table, this episode will confirm your suspicion and give you the tools to fix it. Thomas shares eye-opening stories of tax returns gone wrong, the truth behind cost segregation and depreciation, and how strategic planning done proactively can unlock massive wealth preservation. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just closing your first deal, these are the systems, mistakes, and mindset shifts that separate the average from the elite. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction 02:41 From accounting student to real estate investor to real estate CPA 04:02 Why generalist CPAs often cost investors money 05:14 The myth of “you can't take more than $25K in losses”—and how pros work around it 06:10 How depreciation offsets income and reduces your effective tax rate 07:17 The $50K case study: a CPA missed cost segregation, costing a client dearly 08:18 Advisory vs. compliance: why strategy beats paperwork 10:02 Common mistakes: missed depreciation, unreported insurance, and more 12:02 Opting out of bonus depreciation—when it helps and when it hurts 14:47 What is cost segregation? 18:12 Which items can be carved out in a cost seg: carpets, appliances, sheds & more 19:15 Should you run a cost seg if you plan to sell in 2 years? 21:36 Get in touch with Thomas and his team 22:26 Why real estate is the best long-term tax strategy in America 24:30 Tax planning isn't a luxury—it's your responsibility Quotables “Most CPAs are generalists. If they don't live in real estate, they don't know what to look for.” “Your tax return is a report card for what already happened. If you want to influence it, you have to act now.” “This is like surgery. You don't do it yourself. You call the right specialist.” Links Tax Smart Real Estate Investors Podcast https://www.therealestatecpa.com/podcasts/ Hall CPA http://smartrealestatecoach.com/hallcpa QLS Live https://qlslive.com Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast 3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD 7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod
Unlock the power of your inner voice and transform self-criticism into self-compassion as we dive deep with transformational life coach and author Sue Earhart to tackle that relentless inner critic we all face. This critical voice can sabotage confidence, relationships, and personal growth—and learn practical tools to silence it. Our inner voice shapes identity and can sabotage confidence and growth which is why we must get it right. Let's break it down… Key Points: Understanding the Inner Critic The inner critic is more than just occasional self-doubt; it's a habitual thought pattern that can significantly impact our self-perception and personal growth. According to Sue Earhart, this critic manifests in several ways: Self-Criticism: Constant negative evaluation. Playing Small: Setting limited goals due to doubt. Settling: Accepting less than what you desire. Conformity: Changing yourself to fit in at the expense of authenticity. Self-Sacrifice: Putting others' needs before your own. These patterns create barriers between who we are and our true potential. Transforming Self-Criticism Into Empowerment Sue suggests practical strategies to overcome these limiting beliefs: Recognize Habitual Patterns: Understand that these thoughts are learned habits, not reflections of your true self. Reframe Motivation Sources: Shift from using criticism as motivation to encouraging yourself through compassion. Create Positive Thought Habits: Practice real-time interventions by addressing critical thoughts as they arise rather than relying solely on affirmations. Practice Mindful Journaling (Logbook): Replace traditional task lists with a logbook highlighting both actions taken and their emotional impacts, fostering mindfulness and positive reinforcement. Value-Based Goal Setting & “I Want” Statements: Align tasks with personal values instead of external expectations or pressures—focus on intrinsic motivations over extrinsic rewards like approval or accolades. Question Negative Thoughts' Validity & Usefulness When faced with negativity ask if it's true or helpful which helps redirect focus towards productive thinking patterns instead!

Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage. Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step. What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery. Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.

In this episode, Dr. Lahana sits down with Addison, a certified hypnotherapist and business mentor who's built wild success by mastering the subconscious mind. Addison shares how she overcame fear, imposter syndrome, and limiting beliefs to scale her business to multiple six figures - using the same hypnotherapy tools she now teaches her clients. We dive deep into the subconscious, how it impacts wellness, and how hypnotherapy creates powerful transformation. Plus, Addison opens up about her health journey with colitis, her go-to wellness tools like red light therapy, her fitness routine, and the life-changing resources she swears by. This is an episode you don't want to miss! --- Addison is a certified hypnotherapist and business mentor who has created what many would call “wild” or “unrealistic” success in record time using the power of hypnotherapy. When she first started her business, Addison struggled with a deep fear of being seen, imposter syndrome, and the habit of outsourcing her power through comparison and self-doubt. But everything changed when she launched her first group coaching program and realized she needed to address the subconscious beliefs holding her back. That's when she turned to hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy involves the induction of trance—scientifically recognized as entering the theta brain wave state—where the subconscious mind becomes open to suggestion and positive change. It's often said that if someone hasn't yet reached a goal in business or life, there's likely a limiting belief standing in the way. Addison helps her clients use hypnotherapy to rewire those beliefs so they can release blocks and attract the reality they truly desire. In her first year of coaching, Addison generated over $150K, doubled that in her second year, and has helped clients go from $0 to $5K in just 10 weeks and reach their first $25K month. Her work is rooted in the integration of deep, subconscious transformation and real, aligned business strategy. --- FREE MINDSET HYPNOSIS INSTAGRAM Resources: Just the Addison Bowen Podcast Diary of the CEO podcast The Power of the Subconscious Mind - By Joesph Murphy Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself - Joe Dispenza --- Ready to work with us 1:1?

What happens when a former D1 basketball player and physical therapist trades in his scrubs for a sledgehammer? You get Kyle Aho—real estate investor, small-town renovator, and baby-making machine (he's got three kids and counting). In this episode, Kyle joins Ted and Owen to break down how he went from buying a $25K duplex in college to running a vertically integrated company with over 315 units in Northern Michigan.Kyle shares how he and his business partner Caleb built their empire in a market of just 75,000 people by focusing on the properties nobody wanted—the hoarder houses, the condemned, the ones with literal buckets of human waste in the basement (yeah, he tells that story). Learn how they scaled with flips, built in-house crews, avoided over-leveraging early on, and created an operation that offers not just housing—but opportunity.
Over the years, I've attended several bingo events. It quickly becomes clear that you have to go to them with the mindset that it's about the experience and not about winning. I'd gone to Southpoint's Extravaganza roughly six times before I finally won, splitting $25K. Which just goes to prove, if you hang in there, your day will come. That was the case for my third trip to Texas for the 2025 Bingo Palooza.
Feeling invisible is a heavy burden many carry, which means you're not alone. In today's conversation, we are delving into the profound impact of feeling unseen. Invisibility isn't just an emotion. When it lives within our emotional body, minds, and sould for long enough, it becomes ingrained into our sense of self. So, today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into transformative tools to reclaim your visibility from within. We're exploring how invisibility shapes your identity, understand its emotional weight, and learn actionable steps to reconnect with yourself. The distinction between guilt (the belief that one has done something wrong) and shame (the belief that one inherently is wrong) is crucial here. These feelings typically arise from environments or relationships where we aren't truly seen or acknowledged. Let's get right to it! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Feeling Invisible: Discusses the emotional weight of feeling unseen. Explores how invisibility affects identity and self-worth. Understanding Invisibility: Distinguishes between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad"). Encourages listeners to recognize their intrinsic value despite external perceptions. Tools for Reclaiming Visibility: Reflective Journaling Prompts: What did I feel today that no one else noticed? What truth do I wish someone had asked me about today? What part of me am I hiding? And why? Self-Affirmation Practices: Daily affirmations in front of a mirror to reinforce self-recognition and worthiness. Building Safe Connections: Identifying "spirit keepers" who genuinely see and support you. Creating a "Safe Person Map" to identify those who have made you feel known. The Ripple Effect of Connection: Encourages giving visibility to others as it fosters reciprocal energy exchange. Finding environments that reflect your true self enhances personal expansion over shrinking for acceptance. many of us grapple with the feeling of being invisible. This sensation can significantly impact our identity and self-worth, leading to a cycle of guilt and shame that is difficult to break. In a recent episode of "Get Your Life Together Girl," host Danielle Vann dives deep into this topic, offering insights and practical strategies for overcoming these feelings. Practical Exercises for Self-Reflection To combat these negative feelings, foster self-awareness: Daily Ritual Questions: What feelings went unnoticed today? What truths do you wish were asked about you? What parts of yourself are you hiding and why? These questions encourage introspection and help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves. Positive Affirmations: Standing in front of a mirror each day and affirming your worth can be transformative. Simple statements like "I am worthy" or "I deserve to be seen" reinforce self-visibility. Building Supportive Environments An essential part of reclaiming visibility involves surrounding oneself with supportive people—what Danielle calls "spirit keepers." These are individuals who genuinely acknowledge us for who we are. Creating Your Safe Person Map This tool helps identify those who make us feel known and understood: List people in your life who have shown genuine interest. Reach out regularly to maintain connections. Express gratitude towards them, reinforcing mutual support. Additionally, critically assessing your environment is vital—seek spaces that reflect back authenticity rather than stifle personal growth. Reciprocity in Relationships Visibility isn't just about being seen; it's also about seeing others: Acknowledge Others: Small gestures like thanking someone sincerely or recognizing their efforts create reciprocal visibility. Cultivate Empathy: Surround yourself with communities where empathy prevails over narcissism—a space filled with genuine care fosters individual empowerment too! Actionable Takeaways: Engage in daily reflection with journaling prompts Practice positive affirmations regularly to build internal validation. Identify safe spaces and people where genuine connection is possible; nurture these relationships actively.

Basic Mistakes in Fundraising Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In the startup world, there are mistakes founders make in their fundraisers. Avoid these basic mistakes in fundraising Raising less than $250K. In the venture world, $250K is the lowest amount of funding to raise. Below that level, it's not possible to do something meaningful with the startup. Raising funds from first-time investors. Those who have never invested in startups will require a great deal of education. The investor will need help on terms sheets, standard operating procedures, and more, taking the founder's time away from other investors. Not setting a minimum investment amount. In the angel world, $25K is a common floor for an investment. Too many investors with $5K and $10K checks can fill up the cap table. Not raising sufficient funding. The fundraising target should provide enough runway to take the company to the next level. Not performing diligence on your prospective investors. The investors will perform diligence on the startup, so the startup should do so with investors. Signing up the wrong investor can create headaches for the founder later. Avoid these mistakes in your fundraising. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please , share, and leave a review.

In this transformative conversation with Holly Copeland the concept of 'rewilding' oneself. Holly shares her journey from being an ecologist to exploring alternative healing methods after experiencing health challenges. The discussion delves into the four core principles of inner rewilding: awakening, attuning, allowing, and aligning with one's wild heart. The episode emphasizes the importance of connecting with nature, surrendering to the flow of life, and recognizing the universe's guidance in our personal journeys. In this conversation, Holly and I explore the importance of self-connection, meditation, and various healing practices. We discuss how meditation can help calm the mind and enhance self-awareness, emphasizing the significance of coherence and resonance in achieving mental clarity. The conversation also touches on alternative healing modalities, the power of breathwork, and the necessity of self-compassion in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, we highlight the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of nurturing one's own heart and spirit. Let's break it down… Key Points: Rewilding is about connecting with one's inner self and nature. Holly Copeland's journey illustrates the power of alternative healing. Awakening involves recognizing our essential beingness beyond the localized self. Attuning to the universe requires listening and being present. Surrendering to what is can lead to enlightenment and peace. The universe mirrors our path and guides us through resonance. Every day is a ceremony; morning practices set the tone for the day. Trusting the process can lead to unexpected miracles. Connection with nature is essential for healing and self-discovery. Spend a few minutes each day to list your tasks. Meditation can lead to profound insights and calmness. Having a meditation teacher can enhance your practice. Coherence between brainwaves and breath is essential for meditation. Breathwork is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system. Self-compassion is crucial for personal growth. We often forget to give ourselves the kindness we offer others. The universe reflects our inner state of being. Alternative healing practices can support overall wellness. Gratitude and connection to the Earth are vital for happiness.

Do you ever feel something but you can't put your finger on why? Do you ever react strongly to something seemingly small, only to realize it's linked to an unresolved past experience? Generally, it's an emotional response that needs to be traced back to it's root. Today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into exploring how to uncover the root causes of your emotions. Understanding the origins of your emotional triggers can bring you clarity and healing. We're breaking it all down, and I'll guide you through a powerful journaling technique to help release the emotions that no longer serve you, creating space for personal growth and peace. Let's get right to it! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Emotions are signals from our inner world, often pointing to unmet needs or unresolved conflicts. Emotional patterns are often rooted in past experiences, and understanding these can help break cycles of reactive behavior. Introspection and self-awareness are key in identifying and understanding your emotional responses. Journaling, specifically using the “Trigger and Release” method, can help uncover the root causes of emotions and allow you to let go of unhelpful patterns. Understanding the Role of Emotions Emotions guide us through life, but when unprocessed, they can take control of our reactions and relationships. Emotional triggers often stem from past events and need to be explored for healing. The Power of Introspection By tuning into our inner world and observing recurring emotional patterns, we can start identifying their root causes. Self-awareness starts with fundamental questions like: What do I want? What do I need? How do I want to feel? Emotional Triggers: What Are They? Triggers are emotional reactions tied to past events, beliefs, or unresolved experiences. Recognizing your triggers allows you to better understand why you respond the way you do. The “Trigger and Release” Journaling Method The “Trigger and Release” Journaling Method: 1. Step 1: Identify the Trigger Write down the situation that triggered a strong emotional reaction in you. Be as detailed as possible. Describe what happened, what you felt, who was involved, and where you were. The more details, the better. 2. Step 2: Explore the Emotion Dig deeper into the emotion you felt. Did you feel angry, sad, frustrated, anxious, or something else? Write about the intensity of the emotion and when you first noticed it. Did it feel familiar? Have you experienced this feeling before in similar situations? 3. Step 3: Trace It Back to the Past Try to connect the current emotional reaction to a past event or experience. Ask yourself: “When have I felt this way before?” Or, “What past experience is this reminding me of?” Often, you'll uncover that the root cause of the emotion is tied to an event or belief from your past that you haven't fully resolved. 4. Step 4: Challenge the Belief or Perception Once you've identified the root cause, challenge the belief or perception associated with the emotion. For example, if you feel unworthy after a critique at work, ask yourself: “Is this belief about myself truly accurate? Does this one instance define my worth?” Reframing these negative beliefs can help you move past them. 5. Step 5: Release and Let Go Finally, give yourself a path, create a plan for yourself. How can you release this? How can you change the reaction. Perhaps write a letter to yourself or the person involved, expressing your feelings and offering forgiveness, closure, or understanding. You don't need to send the letter—just writing it is a powerful way to release the emotion and let go of the past. Additional Exercises for Emotional Understanding: The Emotional Inventory - Track dominant emotions and identify triggers for a week. The Reflection Pause - Pause when emotions arise and reflect on their root causes. The Timeline of Events - Create a timeline of significant emotional events and reflect on their lasting impact. Takeaway: Your emotions are not enemies; they are powerful guides on your journey of self-awareness and growth. By identifying and understanding the root causes of your feelings through introspection and journaling, you can release emotional baggage and move forward with greater clarity and peace.

Ever wonder why some people crush it in sales while others barely scrape by?It's not always about having the flashiest product or the biggest ad budget. Nope. Often, it's about understanding how to price and present your offer in a way that speaks directly to the human brain.In this week's episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm diving deep into 17 psychologically backed sales and pricing strategies that can help you make more money and more impact—without ever feeling pushy or sleazy. Look—sales isn't just about making money. It's about solving problems for your dream customers. But the way you package your solution? That's where most entrepreneurs drop the ball.Pricing isn't just a number. It's a message. It's perceived value. It's how your ideal client feels about your offer.By using tested strategies from the world of psychology and real-life business (like Apple, Starbucks, and even IKEA), you can make your offers irresistible. Here are the 17 Proven Pricing Strategies: Price AnchoringLead with your most premium offer to anchor value in your buyer's mind.Example: Mention your $100K 1-on-1 offer before pitching the $25K group coaching—suddenly, that group offer looks like a steal!The Decoy EffectAdd a middle “meh” option to make your best offer shine.Example: The Economist's print-only vs. print+digital pricing made more people choose the combo, even at the same price.Contrast PricingPut high-priced items next to your core offer to make it look more affordable.Example: Rolex does this all the time—$10K watches look like a deal next to $100K ones.Charm PricingPrice ending in .99 or .97 actually sells more.Example: A $39.99 dress outsold a $40 one by 24%, even though it's just a penny difference!The Left Digit Effect$199 feels way cheaper than $200. Always think about that first number.Price FramingShow savings the smart way.Rule of thumb: If discount is under 20%, use dollars off. Over 20%? Use percentages.High-Low PricingShow the “original” higher price before the discount.Example: Was $200, now $120—bam, instant perceived deal.Goldilocks PricingOffer three tiers: good, better, best. Most buyers go for the middle.Pro Tip: Make that middle one your most profitable.Center Stage EffectPosition your most profitable option in the center of your website or pricing table. People gravitate toward the middle visually too.Pay What You Want (With a Twist)Let people name their price with a suggested amount.Example: Radiohead let fans choose what to pay for their album—and still made bank.BundlingCombine products/services for a higher perceived value.Example: Burger + fries + drink for $9.99 vs. $12 separately = feels like a win.The IKEA EffectPeople value what they help build.Let clients customize their package = more buy-in and satisfaction.Prestige PricingHigher prices signal higher status and exclusivity.Example: Tesla, Rolex, Chanel—they don't run sales. Ever. And they don't have to.Power of Storytelling in Pricing(Not officially listed, but sprinkled throughout)When you back your price with a story (your journey, client results, transformation), your offer becomes more than a product—it becomes a movement.The Power of Free (Zero Price Effect)People love free. Even when it's irrational.Example: Amazon's “Free Shipping” drove billions in extra revenue.Instead of discounting, add something FREE—like a bonus call or a surprise gift.Scarcity & Urgency (Ethical FOMO)Nobody wants to miss out.Use limited-time offers, limited spots, countdown timers—but always ethically.Example: “Only 3 VIP coaching spots left this quarter.” Simple. Powerful.Money-Back Guarantee (Risk Reversal)Remove the risk, and conversions soar.Example: “Try it for 14 days, and if you don't love it, get your money back. No hard feelings.”Sales isn't about tricking people. It's about using smart psychology to serve people better.When done right, these strategies not only boost conversions—but they build trust, deepen relationships, and make you feel proud of what you're offering.I've used these exact techniques in my business—selling biohacking programs, coaching, masterminds, and even products—and they work like magic (when done with integrity).Tune in to this episode now and learn how to skyrocket your sales using these 17 proven pricing strategies.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers (https://bioptimizers.com/happy)If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Fawning… it's a hot topic dominating social media. Yet, most do not understand what it truly means or how it impacts our lives. I sat down with Natty Lewis, a performance coach, to unravel this lesser-lmpwm survival mechanism. We also dive deep into understanding fight, flight, and freeze in relation to your nervous system, provide practical tools to help you build emotional regulation, and have an eye-opening conversation about mastering control over your emotions. Let's break it down… Key Points: The Fawn Response Discussion on the survival mechanism: The fawn response Understanding triggers, the nervous system, and automatic responses Practical insights and tools with emotional performance coach Nadi Lewis Human Behavior and Emotional Performance Natty Lewis's background in human behavior, marketing, and performance Personal journey with anxiety and research into neuroscience Insights into human behavior and performance in various fields Nervous System Response: Recognizing Patterns Explanation of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses Understanding window of tolerance and emotional reactions Common patterns in behavior and self-awareness Managing Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn Distinguishing between good and bad coping mechanisms Recognizing emotions and behavior patterns in response to stimuli Regulation and awareness: Identifying natural behaviors and triggers Emotional Awareness and Control Mechanisms Identifying physical and emotional responses to triggers Differentiating between intentional decisions and automatic responses Strategies for managing emotions: Breathwork, recognition, and sensory engagement Practical Strategies for Emotional Regulation Simple actions: Prioritizing small tasks and physical movement Stress reduction through emotional and mental regulation Importance of self-awareness and understanding personal behavior responses Practical Tools for Change Awareness & Recognition: Recognize your natural responses when stressed—are you freezing up or over-accommodating? Breathwork Techniques: Use breath control exercises tailored to fit individual needs; experiment with different methods like box breathing. Sensory Engagement & Movement: Simple actions such as writing tasks down or physically moving can help break out from a state of freeze/fawn. Feedback Utilization: Viewing feedback not as criticism but valuable information for growth. Insightful Quotes: "Making an intentional decision to care not at all about yourself and only for others is fawning." — Nadi Lewis "If you're feeling uncomfortable before doing something habitual—it's your brain signaling it's time for change." — Danielle Van Call-To-Actions: Reflect on whether you find yourself frequently trying to please everyone else while neglecting your own needs. Experiment with different types of breathwork next time you're feeling overwhelmed by stressors. Start journaling moments where you feel triggered—what was happening? How did it make you feel?

We're often bombarded with messages equating success with rapid achievement and instant gratification. Today we are diving into "slow hope," a sustainable form of hope that doesn't rush outcomes but allows time for healing and growth. Unlike traditional hope tied to quick results, slow hope builds resilience over time. Many feel hopeless amid life's challenges or cling desperately to change. Slow hope shifts this perspective by embracing patience and gradual progress. It encourages us not only to focus on end goals but also appreciate the journey itself. Slow hope isn't about instant fixes; it's about steady optimism through small steps toward big goals without burnout or frustration from unmet expectations. Embracing slow hope transforms how we handle uncertainty—building inner strength against setbacks—and fosters long-term personal growth free from constant stressors demanding quick solutions at every turn in our fast-paced world today! Let's break it down… Key Points: Understanding Slow Hope Unlike traditional hope that is tied to specific outcomes or quick resolutions—a mindset that can lead to burnout when things don't go as planned—slow hope is about fostering resilience through patience and trust in life's process. It encourages individuals not just to focus on immediate results but also on gradual progress over time. The Problem with Rapid Progress Our society's obsession with speed can create unrealistic expectations leading many people into cycles of stress or feeling inadequate when they don't achieve their goals quickly enough. By embracing slow hope instead: You release yourself from unnecessary pressures. You open up space for genuine healing. You cultivate an enduring sense of optimism even amidst uncertainty. The Concept of Hope Common perceptions of hope in moments of uncertainty Distinction between traditional hope and slow hope The introduction of 'slow hope'—a sustainable form of optimism Understanding Slow Hope Definition and characteristics of slow hope How slow hope differs from traditional hope Importance and benefits of slow hope in personal growth The Role of Slow Hope in Modern Life Challenges in modern life related to instant gratification and quick fixes The pressure of achieving rapid outcomes How slow hope provides a counterbalance to the fast-paced lifestyle Cultivating Slow Hope Step-by-step guide on how to develop a mindset of slow hope Techniques such as self-reflection, patience cultivation, and mindful progression Importance of breaking down big goals into smaller, manageable steps Embracing Uncertainty and Building Resilience Learning to embrace life's uncertainties through slow hope Building resilience by accepting life's ups and downs How a long-term perspective fosters growth and patience Changing Your Mindset with Slow Hope Shifting focus from immediate outcomes to the process of growth The impact of slow hope on reducing anxiety and stress Enhancing self-esteem and cultivating gratitude for small wins To practice slow hope: 1. Acknowledge where you are. 2. Release pressure for immediate results. 3. Break large goals into manageable steps. 4. Cultivate patience through reflection. 5. Celebrate small wins along the way. This approach reduces anxiety by focusing less on perfectionism or rapid achievements while fostering gratitude for everyday victories. The Power of Patience and Gratitude The crucial role of patience in slow hope Celebrating small victories and maintaining motivation over time Transforming daily life through the practice of gratitude The Quiet Strength of Slow Hope The quiet, persistent nature of slow hope as a force for change Understanding transformation as a journey, not a race Encouragement to embrace slow hope for personal empowerment Conclusion: By incorporating these strategies into everyday life practices consistently overtime will inevitably result increased levels satisfaction derived purely living authentically aligned values held dear personally speaking too importantly so much else besides merely achieving tangible milestones alone… Have you checked out the GYLTG Empowerment Hub on Apple?

I'm joined by Jonathan Courtney to jam on how to build an audience in 2025. We explore various tactics including finding your unique format, implementing consistent systems, and measuring progress against clear goals.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:58 - The ACP Framework04:06 - Step 1: Identify Who You're Creating For10:05 - Step 2: Find Your Format19:43 - Step 3: Build Systems That Stick24:52 - Step 4: Pick ONE Primary Goal28:08 - Where to Begin? The Reply Guy Strategy31:08 - WHY Building an Audience MattersKey Points:• ACP framework for building an audience in 2025: Audience (people passionate about your niche), Community (hardcore followers), and Product (what you sell)• The four-step playbook includes identifying your audience, finding your format, creating systems, and setting goals• Starting as a "reply guy" on platforms like X (Twitter) is recommended as a low-pressure way to begin building an audience• Building an audience serves as an "insurance policy" that provides options for future business opportunities1) The ACP Framework: Your FoundationA = Audience (people passionate about your topic)C = Community (your hardcore followers)P = Product (what you sell to them)The KEY insight: Start with audience FIRST, then community, then product.Why? Because audience-first gives you OPTIONS and CONFIDENCE when you launch.2) Step 1: Identify Who You're Creating ForDon't just create random content. Be strategic!• Focus on people interested in YOUR specific niche• Understand what they're NOT getting from others• Find your unique "sauce" (Greg gives away ALL his startup ideas)• If not getting engagement, start one level broader than your nicheExample: Jonathan's company wanted to be known for design sprints, but started with broader UX content to build audience first.3) Step 2: Find Your FormatYour format is HOW you deliver your content. This is CRUCIAL but often overlooked!• Test one format each business day• Look for formats OUTSIDE your niche (don't copy what's saturated)• Consider what's working platform-wide (short-form video in 2025)• Focus on what feels NATURAL (or you'll quit)• Test for 90 days and let data guide youRemember: Formats have lifecycles! What works today might not work in 6 months.4) Step 3: Build Systems That StickThe difference between creators who quit and those who succeed? SYSTEMS.System breakdown:• Build a "creative faucet" routine (what gets your ideas flowing?)• Create an ideas capture system (Greg uses Apple Notes)• Schedule weekly time to turn ideas into content• Be strategic with timing (post when your audience is active)5) Step 4: Pick ONE Primary GoalDon't try to do everything at once!• Choose ONE metric (100K followers? 25K email list? $1M in sales?)• Measure your formats against this goal every 90 days• Optimize for your goal, not vanity metrics• Remember: attention is SCARCE - build it as an assetThe BEST advice: Just start! Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.6) Where to Begin? The Reply Guy StrategyFeeling overwhelmed? Start as a "reply guy" on X:• Less pressure than posting on your own profile• Lets you experiment with formats• Builds connections with established creators• Gives you confidence before going solo7) WHY Building an Audience MattersAn audience is your INSURANCE POLICY:• Gives you clarity into your niche• Creates a pool of potential customers/users• Provides job opportunities during recessions• Allows you to monetize when neededNotable Quotes:"The audience first approach gives you so many options, also gives you so much confidence when you release something and people actually use it." - JC"I think the number one reason why anyone should create an audience is to have something to fall back on, period. It's like an insurance policy." - GregWant more free ideas? I collect the best ideas from the pod and give them to you for free in a database.
