This week we're diving into how to shift your mindset to set yourself up for success. Here's the thing I've learned over the years that your mindset isn't just a nice-to-have; it's the foundation for everything you're trying to build. Whether it's pushing past fear to finally launch your business, staying consistent when sales are slow, or silencing that little voice in your head saying, ‘Who are you to do this?' it all comes back to how you think and how you show up for yourself.In this episode I share:The mindset hacks I use, like reframing limiting beliefs, to conquer my goals How to break down your goals into actionable steps to avoid overwhelm My experience with imposter syndrome and how I continuously overcome itHighlights include:00:00 Intro01:00 Battling imposter syndrome04:14 Breaking free from overthinking08:05 Confidence is key14:05 Master Instagram Challenge17:50 Building mental resilience 21:28 Actionable steps to a mindset changeCheck out episode 487 of Side Hustle Pro podcast out now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTubeLinks mentioned in this episodeSide Hustle Pro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SideHustlePro Side Hustle Pro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sidehustlepro/ SHP Done Is Better Than Perfect Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naMuG3Abzmo SHP Denise Woodard Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjQqNBd8-xA Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rssAnnouncementsJoin our Facebook CommunityIf you're looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: https://sidehustlepro.co/facebookGuest Social Media InfoSide Hustle Pro – @sidehustlepro#SideHustlePro Hosted on Acast.

Your bones, brain, and muscles are having the same conversation—and nutrition is the translator. Duke orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein breaks down how midlife hormone shifts accelerate bone loss, cartilage wear, and muscle decline, and why training + food choices can improve all three at once. We cover earlier DEXA timing, the bone–brain crosstalk (osteocalcin, agility, balance), and a practical plan: progressive strength, safe impact/jump options (step drops, heel drops, rebounders), grip and toe work for fall prevention, and weighted vests/rucking basics. On the nutrition side, we get specific: prioritize protein, aim for food-first calcium, and use targeted support where appropriate—vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium glycinate, collagen, and turmeric—to lower inflammation, protect joints, and support cognition. Expect clear modifications for cranky knees/shoulders, plus why consistent movement is linked to reduced dementia risk. This episode is your integrated blueprint to build bone, protect your brain, and keep muscle on your frame—so you stay strong, steady, and independent for decades. Actionable, hopeful, and BS-free—use this episode to build stronger bones, happier joints, and real confidence for the next 20 years.Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein at https://www.instagram.com/jocelyn_wittstein_md/Her book, The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, is available at booksellers._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

How to Safely and Strategically Adopt AI in Your Organization: Expert Insights from Lexi Reese, CEO of LanaiArtificial intelligence is reshaping the modern workplace faster than any technology before it. But as companies rush to integrate AI, many leaders struggle with how to adopt it responsibly—balancing innovation, security, and ethics. In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Lexi Reese, Co-Founder and CEO of Lanai, an AI-native observability and security platform. Lexi shares practical insights on how organizations can safely manage, monitor, and scale AI adoption without compromising data integrity or trust.Leading AI Adoption ResponsiblyLexi explains that the most successful companies treat AI not just as a set of tools, but as part of their workforce—a powerful digital team member that requires oversight, structure, and accountability. She emphasizes that AI must be “hired” into an organization with defined roles, clear expectations, and measurable outcomes. Just as leaders track employee performance, they must also monitor how AI performs, adapts, and impacts real-world results.Visibility, Lexi notes, is essential for responsible AI use. Many organizations don't know which departments are using AI, how data is being handled, or where security risks exist. Lanai's technology helps leaders map and monitor AI usage across their companies—identifying risks, preventing data leaks, and ensuring compliance with privacy laws. This proactive approach transforms uncertainty into insight, allowing innovation to flourish safely.Beyond technology, Lexi encourages leaders to consider the human element of AI integration. By prioritizing education, ethical standards, and collaboration between business and compliance teams, organizations can create a culture of trust and accountability. Responsible AI adoption isn't about slowing progress—it's about making innovation sustainable, secure, and beneficial for everyone.About Lexi ReeseLexi Reese is the Co-Founder and CEO of Lanai, an AI-native observability and security platform helping organizations safely adopt and manage AI. With a background that spans leadership roles at Google, Gusto, and public service, Lexi is known for her expertise in building ethical technology systems that empower teams and protect businesses.About LanaiLanai is an AI observability and security platform designed to help organizations monitor, govern, and scale AI adoption responsibly.

This episode continues our sensory series, diving deep into the world of Sensory Sound, with actionable strategies for supporting sensitive kids wherever you go. Why Are Loud Spaces So Overwhelming? Colleen unpacks how unpredictable peaks in sound, bustling crowds, harsh lighting, and layered sensory inputs can overload sensitive nervous systems. Whether it's a mic popping at announcements, the hum of the HVAC, or the swirl of cafeteria chatter—these environments can quickly become "too much." Building a Predictable Noise Plan—Step by Step This episode is all about taking back control and creating a kind, doable plan so your kids can participate and feel safe: Recon the Space: Visit venues early, spot the quiet zones, locate exits, and identify problem areas. Create a Noise Map: Colleen shares practical tips for sketching out "green" (safe/quiet), "yellow" (watchful), and "red" (overwhelming) areas in any environment. Try the Gear: Explore sound-dampening solutions, from free options (hoodies, signals) to noise-canceling headphones and musicians' earplugs—covering several budgets. Practice Exit & Reentry: Teach simple signals, rehearse calming routines, and have a regrouping spot so kids know when and how to retreat and return. End With a Win: Celebrate every step your child takes in self-advocacy—even if it means sitting out for the day. Praise their use of the plan! Real-Life Stories & Church Success Inspired by a learner's lab member's ongoing journey, Colleen offers scripts for requesting accommodations and creative ways to normalize sensory gear. You'll also hear practical solutions for church, co op, cafeterias, and gym settings.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of sleep with our special guest, Morgan Adams—a transformative, holistic sleep coach and two-time breast cancer survivor. Morgan empowers women to conquer sleepless nights without medication, sharing her personal journey and professional expertise. In this episode, we cover: The most common reasons women struggle with sleep, especially in their late 30s to mid-60s. Why good sleep starts the moment you wake up, not just at bedtime. The critical role of circadian rhythms and how light exposure impacts your sleep quality. Actionable tips for optimizing your light environment—morning sunlight, minimizing artificial light at night, and the truth about blue blockers. How to handle waking up at 3:00 AM and what to do when you can't fall back asleep. The importance of blood sugar balance and meal timing for restful nights. The pros and cons of sleep tracking devices and why tuning into your own body matters. Top Takeaways: Prioritize early morning light exposure and get outside throughout the day. Reduce bright, artificial light in the evening—think warm bulbs, candles, and dimmers. If you wake up in the middle of the night, try techniques like the "mental walk" or "cognitive shuffle," and consider getting out of bed if you're feeling anxious. Keep your blood sugar stable with balanced meals and avoid eating too close to bedtime. Trust your body's signals—don't let wearable data override your own intuition about rest and recovery.

Pursuing Purpose: The Secret to Thriving RelationshipsApply to work with me: https://bit.ly/3HoAy5TFREE 5-Day Email Course - Get one specific, actionable shift each day that creates immediate results: https://state-shifters.webflow.io/email-courseWhat if your purpose was the key to creating a deeper, more intimate, and thriving relationship? In this episode, I share how pursuing your higher purpose not only brings more meaning to your life but also transforms your relationships. From my coaching experiences to personal lessons, you'll learn how clarity, presence, and alignment with purpose directly shape the quality of love and connection you create with your partner.In this episode, we'll cover:• Why purpose is essential to intimacy and trust• The link between fulfillment and relationship success• Overcoming resistance and distractions• How to master presence and peace in the moment• Actionable steps to pursue your higher callingThe truth: Your love thrives when you thrive.When you're disconnected from your purpose, that emptiness shows up in your relationship. You might seek validation from your partner, lose presence in intimate moments, or feel a nagging sense that something's missing. But when you're aligned with your calling and actively pursuing what matters most to you, you bring a completely different energy to your relationship.Purpose gives you the clarity to show up fully. It creates the presence that deepens intimacy. It builds the trust that comes from being a man who knows where he's going and why.This isn't about choosing between your purpose and your relationship. It's about understanding that they fuel each other. The more aligned you are with your calling, the more you have to give. The deeper your relationship becomes, the more it supports your growth.Connect with Jordan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordancandlish01/Twitter: https://x.com/JordanCandlishAbout Jordan Candlish:Jordan is a men's coach, speaker, and creator behind the Embodied Entrepreneur.

Everyone commends you for being brave when you start over. But no one tells you that your reinvention might also look… ridiculous. For our guest today, that looked like explaining to people - very seriously - that she quit her career as a lawyer… to start a podcast as a cat. Because that's the thing about starting something new: More often than not, it doesn't look polished or profound. It looks like curiosity, experimentation - and sometimes, doing something absolutely absurd, but quintessentially you. Today's guest, Iman Ibrahim, embodies that exact spirit. After nearly two decades in law, she left her career behind to rebuild from scratch - first as a coach, and then as the creator of I Am the Advocat, a podcast where a cat becomes the unlikely voice for real stories of burnout, bullying, and survival in the legal world. This episode is about what it really takes to start again, and what becomes possible when we finally stop performing who we're “supposed” to be.

This episode, hosted by Etienne Nichols, delves into the critical impact of a U.S. government shutdown on the medical device industry, specifically focusing on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Guest Michael Nilo, President and Principal Consultant of Nilo Medical Consulting Group and a former FDA Scientific Reviewer, offers an insider's perspective on which FDA functions halt and which remain active during a funding lapse. He clarifies that while the processing of new, user-fee-supported marketing applications like PMAs and 510(k)s typically stops, essential activities like active review of already-filed submissions, post-market safety surveillance, enforcement of recalls, and Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) reviews continue, drawing on existing user fee reserves.The discussion pivots to the significant slowdowns that occur, notably the suspension of non-MDUFA-goal-tied interactions, such as Q-submissions (Pre-Submissions) and most interactive reviews. For startups and small manufacturers, the halting of the crucial small business designation processing can be particularly detrimental, leading to astronomically higher user fees once the government reopens. Michael emphasizes that the industry should anticipate this political risk and plan submission timelines strategically, positioning a government shutdown as an "uncontrollable natural disaster" that requires proactive risk mitigation.Michael provides actionable advice for MedTech leaders to pivot during a shutdown. He recommends using the enforced delay to significantly improve the quality of submissions—making them easier to navigate and review once the FDA is fully operational—to gain a crucial advantage over the backlog of queued submissions. Furthermore, companies should utilize the time to focus on parallel activities such as process validation, refining quality systems, and strengthening commercial and reimbursement strategies. Michael stresses the importance of remembering the core mission: getting life-improving technologies to patients, and using any delay as an opportunity to emerge stronger and more prepared for commercial launch.Key Timestamps1:45 - The initial effects of a shutdown: What truly stops at the FDA (new submissions) versus what keeps running (existing reviews, IDEs, post-market surveillance).3:50 - Why active review of filed submissions continues—the role of the user fee "reserve."5:58 - Critical functions that stop or slow down: Pre-submissions (Q-subs), interactive reviews, new policy guidance, and routine inspections.7:25 - The major impact of halting the small business designation process on user fees for new manufacturers.8:36 - MDUFA (Medical Device User Fee Amendments) explained: How user fees fund the FDA and maintain operations during a lapse.11:51 - Direct effects on a MedTech company's runway and the loss of interactive review.13:17 - Actionable advice: Improving submission quality for easier review to mitigate the post-shutdown backlog.15:00 - Strategic pivot: Focusing on parallel work like process validation and quality system refinement.16:03 - Communicating with investors and partners: Positioning the shutdown as an uncontrollable event and shortening the commercial launch gap.18:50 - Looking ahead: Planning submissions around budget resolution deadlines to anticipate shutdown risk.20:53 - Final advice: Keeping the patient-focused mission in mind and maximizing internal...

How Business Owners Can Scale and Thrive in the Age of AI: Insights from Dan GoodsteinIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Dan Goodstein, Founder of The Business Therapist and President of IRPA AI, to explore how business owners can scale smarter and thrive amid rapid technological change. With years of experience in tech, marketing, media, and coaching, Dan offers practical advice on leveraging AI, building community, and creating systems that support sustainable growth in today's fast-paced environment.Scaling Smarter in the AI EraDan emphasizes that too many business owners are working in their businesses rather than on them. He highlights the importance of stepping back, joining peer communities, and embracing outside accountability through coaching or masterminds. These practices create space for strategy, innovation, and balance—especially critical as AI reshapes how we work.AI, he explains, is now leveling the playing field for small and midsize businesses, giving them access to tools once reserved for large corporations. From AI-driven sales assistants to automated lead generation and CRM integrations, these technologies help streamline operations, enhance personalization, and improve ROI. Dan also encourages owners to adopt a “pilot-first” approach—testing tools on a small scale before company-wide implementation to ensure measurable results.Finally, Dan shares actionable strategies for using AI in sales, from automating outreach to personalizing follow-ups, while maintaining the human connection that drives lasting relationships. His advice is clear: start small, stay consistent, and focus on impact over volume. AI isn't about replacing people—it's about empowering them to spend more time on high-value, strategic work.About Dan GoodsteinDan Goodstein is the Founder of The Business Therapist, a platform helping entrepreneurs build scalable, resilient companies through coaching, peer networks, and strategic support.

Should you include a prologue or skip it? Here's how to make the right choice for your novel.Prologues are one of the most debated topics in fiction. Some literary agents warn against them, some readers skip them altogether, and yet many of the most beloved bestselling novels begin with one. The real question is this: Does your story need a prologue, or will Chapter One carry the weight on its own?In this episode, I'm breaking down when a prologue truly adds value, when it works against you, and how to write a prologue that pulls readers in instead of pushing them away. If you've been second-guessing whether your book needs a prologue, this conversation will provide a clear way forward and the confidence to know you're making the right decision for your story.Here's what you'll hear inside the episode:[02:05] Why most prologues fall flat and the single question that tells you if yours is worth keeping.[03:30] The five types of prologues that actually work (with bestselling examples you've probably read and loved) and how to know which one, if any, your book actually needs.[08:40] Why Brandon Sanderson's prologue in The Way of Kings is a masterclass in hooking readers and setting the stage for an epic story[11:45] The three key ingredients every strong prologue requires if you want readers to become immersed from the first page and keep turning the pages.[14:50] Actionable tips to help you create intrigue, build tension, and leave readers desperate to turn the page into Chapter One.By the end of this episode, you won't be stuck second-guessing your beginning anymore. You'll know whether your novel needs a prologue or if Chapter One is the stronger start (and you'll understand why). That way, instead of circling back to rework your first pages again and again, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your story is starting exactly where it's meant to.
