What happens when you're overworked, underpaid, and about to settle for even less money just to survive? In this Success Spotlight episode, I sit down with my client Jessica, an ecologist who was dangerously close to applying for jobs paying $20-30K less than her previous salary until she decided to invest in herself instead.Jessica shares her raw journey from accepting "that's just how it is" in conservation work to landing a $40K raise and moving to her dream state. We unpack the exact moment she almost said yes to a job offering significantly less money, why her brain kept telling her to "just take anything," and the specific mindset shifts that changed everything. From hating networking to landing her role through an authentic July conversation that manifested months later, Jessica's story proves what's possible when you stop fighting for your limitations.Hear how she used the cocktail party method, managed her anxiety about the future, and why she says coaching gave her more results than years of therapy. If you're exhausted from the "numbers game" and wondering if you should just settle, this episode will show you there's another way.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/episode-261

GRAB my free Golden Domino Decision Map: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QHaHAAptcIFo6UjQIuk3rr0SrKW9AxoQ1DIGxy_EN6Q/edit?usp=sharing Ready to go from 80-hour weeks to a business that runs without you? We build the systems that make it possible. BOOK a call with us: https://app.iclosed.io/e/woo/quick-fit-phone-call?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=sdr&utm_campaign=triage   In this episode, I REVEAL the Golden Domino Decision framework and show you how to AVOID the $150,000 mistake that's keeping seven-figure business owners trapped in their operations.   Most entrepreneurs generating $1M+ aren't failing from lack of effort. They're failing because they're solving problems in the wrong order - wasting time, money, and team morale on issues that don't actually move the needle.   The Golden Domino is the first, highest-leverage problem that, when solved, makes everything else easier or unnecessary. But here's the challenge: urgent tasks and exciting opportunities constantly distract you from identifying your true root issue. You end up firefighting instead of fixing the foundation.   I'll walk you through the exact Golden Domino Decision Map I use with business owners generating $1M to $10M+ in revenue to identify their one problem that, when toppled, creates a cascade of positive change across their entire operation.   Already doing $30K+/month?

Most people don't fail online because they lack strategy, they fail because they don't understand themselves. In this episode, I break down the psychology behind why some people print money online while others can barely start. If you don't have a business yet, I'll show you the exact skill hiding under your nose that people will pay you for. And if you do have a business and you're stuck at 15–30K months, I'll show you the real reason you're plateauing — and it has nothing to do with funnels or followers.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. ✨ Ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally step into the body, energy, and lifestyle you deserve?

Hans and Brian sit down with the Tax Sherpa team—Neal, Serena, and Fatma —to walk through the tax implications of options trading before it's too late to do anything about it.Most in the Remnant caucus of the Low Stress Options community haven't filed a tax return reflecting this trading activity yet. They're tracking weekly income in their spreadsheets and assume that's what they'll owe taxes on—but the brokerage statements tell a completely different story. The bottom line? If you're making real money trading options, you need actual tax strategy in place now—not in March when it's too late to make adjustments.Chapters: 00:00 - Opening segment02:20 - How options are actually taxed (short-term capital gains, rolling, assignments)06:05 - Active trader vs passive trader: do you want professional trader status?08:35 - The $3,000 capital loss limit explained (and why it's basically a slap in the face)11:05 - Offsetting gains with losses: you can deduct more than $3,000 in the current year13:45 - Tax loss harvesting and why FREC's approach is interesting15:00 - How rolling options creates separate taxable events17:05 - Why the $3,000 limit was never inflation-adjusted (it should be $25-30K today)18:15 - Gambling losses and why they only offset gambling wins20:25 - What your brokerage statement will actually show vs what the tracker shows22:40 - Real estate as a "tax sponge" for offsetting capital gains24:00 - Interest tracing: deducting policy loan interest on Schedule A26:00 - Should you use one policy exclusively for investment loans?28:25 - Why you shouldn't be doing this with TurboTax29:00 - Mortgage interest deduction limits after the Big Beautiful Bill35:20 - Using an LLC for trading: real estate, consulting, or all-in-one?37:55 - Why crypto taxes are endlessly complex (smart contracts, staking, DeFi)47:15 - Wash sale rule: does getting assigned invoke it?55:30 - The Tax Sherpa process: survey, planning, executionKey Takeaways:Options are taxed as short-term capital gains (at your ordinary income rate) in 99% of cases—each contract is a separate taxable event, so rolling creates multiple transactionsThe $3,000 capital loss limit is the NET position—you can offset unlimited gains plus an additional $3,000, then carry forward the remainder into future yearsYour brokerage tracker shows return on equity; Schwab reports each individual trade—they're answering different questions, which is why people are often pleasantly surprised at tax timeIf you're using policy loans to fund trading, you can deduct the interest on Schedule A through interest tracing—but you have to actually pay it and document the allocationProfessional trader status (mark-to-market accounting) is almost never advantageous unless trading is literally your full-time business with substantial daily activity and deductible expensesCustodial accounts for kids don't provide much tax benefit due to kiddie tax rules—and they count against the student for financial aid purposes, unlike parent-held assetsDo your tax planning NOW, not in March—once the year is over, you've lost the ability to make strategic adjustments that could save you tens of thousands of dollarsGot Questions?

We build the systems that make it possible, book a call with us: https://app.iclosed.io/e/woo/quick-fi... In this episode, I walk you through the three principles of slow productivity. The exact framework that took me from drowning in my own business to running a powerhouse team that scales without me. Here's what I've learned after working with thousands of business owners: The founders scaling fastest aren't doing more. They're doing strategically less. You'll discover why doing fewer, higher-impact tasks, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality instead of busyness creates sustainable growth. By the end, you'll understand why slowing down isn't falling behind; it's actually the only way to get ahead. If you're a 7 or 8-figure founder working 60+ hour weeks despite your "success," this framework changes everything. Your pace is unsustainable. This is how you reclaim time, restore calm, and scale without sacrificing your life. Already doing $150K in revenue?

Send us a textThe road from an Okinawan family dojo to the rocky spine of the Northeast isn't as long as it looks. Meet trail runner and former Muay Thai athlete Niko Teller, a blue-collar UPS driver who turns daily mileage, discipline, and gritty terrain into real speed. We dig into how martial arts forged his mindset, why hips are the hidden engine for climbing and descending, and how he built technical downhill confidence on the Appalachian Trail, in the Catskills, and across the White Mountains.We break down the Northeast short-trail scene—from Chocorua to the Baldface Scramble—and why these 20 to 30K courses deliver as much vert and skill demand as some ultras. Nico explains how he trains when the “mountains” are 400 feet high, stacking hill repeats, AT long runs, and gravel bike cross-training to stay durable. Then we go deep on his JFK 50 game plan: smooth execution on the AT, a mid-race shoe swap into road foam, and a 6:30–6:40 towpath pace target backed by a simple fueling strategy of 90 grams of carbs per hour with Neversecond gels and mostly water in cool temps.We also unpack the hard lessons from Run Rabbit Run 100 in Steamboat—cold, hail, and a cranky Achilles—and how finishing on a tough day built more confidence than any PR. Niko shares why jiu-jitsu keeps him humble, how coaching with Fastquatch helps working athletes find balance, and what's next: Black Canyon 100K speed, a Cocodona waitlist gamble, and winter goals on the track with a sharper mile and 5K.If you love Northeast trail running, JFK 50 strategy, technical downhill tips, or blue-collar training that actually fits a busy life, this conversation will feel like a map you can use tomorrow. Subscribe, drop a review, and share with a friend who's eyeing a fast towpath split or their first White Mountain scramble.Follow Niko on IG - @nikolassuaveFollow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod Use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

In a world of fast-advancing technology, we are told to trust in our own research. But as the crypto space matures, scams and exploits remain a constant presence. When your assets are gone, they are gone forever, with a near-zero chance of recovery. The old mantra of "Do Your Own Research" falls short against sophisticated threats like address poisoning, advanced malware, and convincing AI deepfakes. How, then, do we build a safer Web3 without sacrificing the decentralized ideals at its core?Alex Katz, CEO of the Web3 security solution Kerberus, joins us to explore this new frontier. We delve into the philosophical debate of autonomy versus protection, the push for auditing standards, and the future of wallet-native security.Chapters00:00 Android vulnerability: why mobile crypto is risky01:21 Building safer Web3 without sacrificing decentralization02:10 Crypto's Wild West: few rules, big risks03:37 Why scams continue: prosecution, standards, protection gaps05:44 Kerberus approach and results: zero user losses06:24 Coverage up to $30K and growth needs08:24 Why DYOR is insufficient for modern threats09:33 Traders' behavior, phishing risk, and automation11:25 Crypto antivirus vision and malware threats12:11 Hardware vs. hot wallets: balancing safety and speed14:41 Address poisoning, clipboard privacy, and deepfakes20:22 Autonomy vs. protection: beyond user education24:44 Wallet security should be default, like antivirus31:51 Getting grandma into Web3 safely32:29 Lightning round: tools, myths, key lessons36:04 Where to find Kerberus and closing notes

Founded in 2013, Crowd Street helped popularize online access to commercial real estate. Now CEO John Imbriglia is steering a 2.0 strategy: an institutional-grade private markets platform spanning private equity, private credit, venture capital, and CRE—with lower minimums, improved IRA flows, and heavy investment in education, diligence, and UX. John details Crowd Street's scale to date (~300K members, ~30K investors, ~$4.5B raised in CRE), the “supply–demand–loyalty” framework driving the rebuild, a new omnichannel acquisition push, and partnering with Callan (advisor to >$4T AUM institutions) to help source and select managers. We cover feeder/registered fund structures (1099s, no capital calls) that bring minimums to five figures for accredited investors, the evolving role of direct CRE deals, and how better IRA integrations reduce friction. If you want a practical roadmap to accessing institutional-style alternatives—from mid-market credit to diversified PE/VC—this one's for you.Highlights include…Crowd Street's evolution: CRE pioneer → full private-markets platformSupply–Demand–Loyalty: the 2.0 operating modelWhy education & diligence lead the funnel (with Callan as advisor)Product access: feeder/registered/interval funds, 1099s, five-figure minsKeeping direct CRE while adding PE, credit, and VC optionsOmnichannel growth: targeted campaigns in Pittsburgh & BostonBetter IRA experience via an integrated self-directed partner

Have you ever realized you were living the life someone else imagined for you?Andrew Mitch did everything right on paper. He followed the rules, earned the degrees, and chased approval until the weight of it all became too heavy to carry. When he finally walked away from the life others expected, he found the beginning of his own. What unfolded next was unexpected. A stranger at a restaurant table looked at him through tears and said, “Whatever you have, the world needs to hear it now.” That moment shifted everything. It was the reminder that his voice mattered, and that he no longer needed permission to use it. This is a story about leaving certainty for something more alive. About learning to be seen, to create honestly, and to trust that your real self is enough.Take your time with this one. It is tender and real. What You’ll Hear The quiet pressure of chasing someone else’s version of success How leaving a PhD program became an act of self-trust The beauty of being seen by a stranger who changed everything The tension between faith, identity, and authenticity Learning to stop asking for permission to create What it means to live unapologetically yourself Guest Bio From small-town Ohio to Nashville, Andrew Mitch is making waves in country-pop with raw emotion, personal truth, and storytelling. His breakout single “all in my head” went viral, crowdfunded his debut album, and earned features from CMA, CMT, GLAAD, and more. With millions of views, 30K+ followers, and praise from artists like Carly Pearce and Ingrid Andress, Andrew has since released songs like "back home boy" (featured on Nashville's very own WSMV4) and "unapologetic." He continues to prove there’s power in being unapologetically yourself. Connect with Andrew: https://www.andrewmitchmusic.com/ Listen at www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com/follow.

John Bunn recently launched his solo podcast "Shifting Focus" after years of co-hosting How to Film Weddings. Starting with over $400K in student debt, he's built a wedding business that now books $30K+ weddings and has his entire year's expenses covered by the first month. John shares the psychology behind premium pricing, why cash flow equals creative freedom, and how getting specific about your ideal client changes everything about your business. Key Takeaways When you don't need the money, you come across completely different in sales calls—clients can sense desperation vs. abundance Getting laser-focused on your ideal client (not just any client with money) is what allows you to charge premium rates Cash is oxygen for your business—sometimes picking up part-time work is the smartest move to take pressure off while you build Consistency in the right activities (not just any activities) is what creates long-term success in creative businesses About John Bunn John Bunn is a wedding industry educator and mentor who has dedicated his career to elevating professionals through practical, results-driven education. After starting his own wedding video business in 2007, Bunn went on to film and photograph over 550 weddings, gaining deep insights into what truly drives success in the industry. Since transitioning to education in 2018, Bunn has mentored and worked with tens of thousands of wedding professionals, focusing on what he calls "the things that nobody wants to talk about" — the fundamental business practices that create lasting success beyond fleeting trends. Bunn's approach is rooted in real-world experience and a belief that sustainable success comes from shifting focus to what actually matters. His passion for teaching stems from the countless success stories he's witnessed, from working mothers who've transitioned to full-time wedding businesses to professionals finally booking their dream clients. Known for his straightforward, no-nonsense approach, Bunn emphasizes that "trends come, and trends go, but those who shift their focus and put in the work are the true success stories." His mission is to help wedding professionals cut through industry noise and concentrate on the strategies that will genuinely impact their businesses and families. As both mentor and coach, Bunn brings over 15 years of hands-on wedding industry experience combined with a track record of transforming careers through focused, practical education.

The Game Change co-author is now a YouTube success, having produced what was, in my opinion, the best coverage of the 2024 election. I know of no other person better positioned to comment on what's happened in political media, with a 30K foot vantage. And so I asked him a range of stupid questions, mostly under the banner of, “What the hell is going on?” Topics include but aren't limited to!* When did the Media drift into party advocacy?* The lasting impact of the 2016 election on media* What killed the earnest practice of “both sidesism”?* Were you nervous on Election Day?* Two entertainment ecosystems, boomer and everyone else* Did the Media used to be better?* Are conservatives more open to debate right now?* News as act of curation (Twitter can spotlight racialized police killings, or it can spotlight immigrant crime)* Graham Platner's bad week and the new skeletons in candidate closets* What do you make of the male flight from the Democratic Party?* What do you make of potential senior flight from the Republican Party?* What do you make of the No Kings protests?* Why is traditional media still hard to crack for Republicans?

Speed to Lead: The $30K Mistake Killing Your Clinic Growth In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down one of the most overlooked profit leaks in cash-based practice ownership — slow lead follow-up. Learn how the average clinic loses tens of thousands each month from poor contact speed, and discover a simple system to fix it fast. Quick Ask Help us hit our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy.

Episode Summary Big picture: Most clinics lose $30K+ per month from slow follow-up and poor lead management. The data gap: The average healthcare clinic takes 2 hours and 5 minutes to respond to a lead — consumers expect 10–15 minutes. Industry average: Only 11% of people who fill out a healthcare form ever become patients. 100x advantage: Responding within 5 minutes increases your chance of conversion by 100 times. The math: Raising your contact-to-eval rate from 40% to 70% could add $30,000/month in revenue — no new ads, no new spend. Lessons & Takeaways Track everything: If you don't measure conversion from contact to eval, you're flying blind. Speed to lead: Reach out within 5–15 minutes when someone submits a form or books a call. Multi-touch follow-up: Use 5–7 touch points (calls, texts, emails) in the first 1–2 weeks. Auto + human combo: Use automated confirmations plus manual outreach to maximize connection. Text wins: Consumers are far more likely to reply to a text than a voicemail. Mindset & Motivation Serve, don't sell: Follow-up isn't pestering — it's helping people make the change they already want. Fix the leak first: Don't spend more on marketing until your conversion system works. Track the funnel: Know your contact requests, booked calls, evals, and follow-ups weekly. Pro Tips for Owners Set notifications: When a new form is submitted, get instant alerts via Slack or text. Train your admin: Give them scripts for fast responses and early scheduling. Layer automation: Confirm appointments automatically via text + email. Segment leads: Prioritize same-day outreach for hot leads; move cold leads to your newsletter. Systemize: Build a “speed to lead” SOP — who calls, who texts, and when. Notable Quotes “If you can respond within five minutes, it increases the likelihood they'll become a client by 100 times.” “Fortune is in the follow-up — and most clinics aren't following up at all.” “Nobody wants PT; they want the freedom PT gives them. Help them get it by being responsive.” Action Items Audit your lead-to-eval conversion rate. Implement instant text + email confirmation for all form submissions. Create a 5–7 touchpoint follow-up plan over two weeks. Assign ownership: Who calls, who texts, and how soon? Review results monthly — aim for 70% contact-to-eval conversion.
