I recorded this episode fresh off the heels of wrapping my Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp — a six-day live event I run a couple of times a year — and I'm still buzzing. Not just because we welcomed five incredible new members into the Passionate & Prosperous Academy and a brand new one-on-one client, but because every single time I do this bootcamp, I come away with the same powerful reminder: this is all an inner game.Yes, I teach strategy in the bootcamp. You need a niche, a clear offer, a content plan, and the ability to have conversations that convert. That stuff matters. But what I know after years of doing this work — and what I'd be completely remiss not to tell you — is that strategy alone will never be enough. You need two operating systems running simultaneously: the operating system of your business and your own inner operating system as a human being.And here's the truth: your inner OS is the one that actually determines your success.So in this episode, I'm breaking down the five essential qualities your inner operating system must be running on — and I promise at least one of them will completely reframe how you've been thinking about your own success. Like, did you know that confidence isn't actually something you can build directly? It's a byproduct of something else entirely. Or that the urgency you feel about growing your business might be the exact thing that's sabotaging it?These aren't mindset buzzwords. Think of them as muscles — things you can build, strengthen, and upgrade with intentional, daily practice. And the beautiful (and tricky) part? You can only develop them by taking action. You have to build the plane while you're flying it.Key TakeawaysBusiness success requires two operating systems: your business strategy AND your inner OS as a human beingThere are 5 inner OS essentials — and they're not what you think (tune in to find out!)Confidence is a byproduct of something else entirely — you can't shortcut itUrgency fueled by scarcity will sabotage your growth before you even get startedThese qualities are muscles — they need support, coaching, and daily practice to strengthenYou don't work on your inner OS before taking action — you develop it by taking actionThis is the work that never really ends — and honestly, that's the beauty of it. Every new level you reach is just an invitation to upgrade again. So wherever you are right now, know that the inner work and the outer work are happening at the same time, and that is exactly as it should be. You've got this. Now go listen.Work With Stacey

Send a textThis week on Here's What We Know, join us for an unforgettable conversation as we sit down with Mick Weinholt, a man who survived a catastrophic avalanche that should have taken his life. With a fractured skull, a broken jaw, and massive blood loss, Mick walked three miles back to his truck before collapsing into emergency brain surgery.But that miracle was only the beginning.Years later, Mick and his wife experienced the devastating stillbirth of their son, Luke, a loss that brought them to their knees and ultimately led them into a life-changing relationship with Christ. What followed was a story of redemption neither of them could have scripted.This episode explores ego, survival, grief, faith, and the way God can redeem even the darkest chapters of our lives.In This Episode:What really happened the day Mick triggered an avalanche in ColoradoWalking three miles with a fractured skullThe difference between surviving something… and being changed by itThe grief of stillbirth and losing their son, LukeHitting the emotional bottom and crying out to GodFaith as a daily choice, not a family inheritanceThe redemption of JanuaryHow twin boys were born seven years after a lossThe difference between coincidence and God in actionThis episode is sponsored by:Mike Counsil Plumbing & Rooter (Use code “Gary” to get $89 off any service!)License #: 679261Bio:Mick Weinholt is the host of the podcast When You Look, where everyday people share extraordinary stories of God's presence in their lives. After surviving a catastrophic avalanche as a teenager and later experiencing the stillbirth of his firstborn son, Mick's life took a dramatic turn. What began as a 25-year-faith-avoidant journey became a ministry rooted in redemption, raw testimony, and honest conversations about grief and grace.

In this episode, I explore Lessons From the Universe, specifically how life communicates with us through repeating patterns, synchronicities, and emotional cues. When the same situations, people, or feelings keep showing up, it's often an invitation to pause, reflect, and shift.I talk about the importance of awareness in manifestation, and how recognizing patterns can help us course-correct before lessons become louder—or more uncomfortable. Sometimes the lesson isn't about pushing through, proving a point, or engaging with resistance, but about learning when to disengage and protect your energy.This episode also touches on boundaries, intuition, and discernment, especially in online spaces. Not every comment deserves a response, and not every battle is meant to be fought. Choosing peace can be one of the most powerful manifestation tools we have.If you've ever ignored a nudge from the universe, only to wish you hadn't later, this conversation is for you.In this episode, I discuss:How the Universe communicates through repeating patternsWhy awareness is key to conscious manifestationThe energetic cost of engaging with negativityLearning when to respond—and when to walk awayUsing boundaries as a manifestation toolTrusting intuition to guide aligned actionThis episode is a reminder that manifestation isn't just about attracting—it's also about recognizing lessons, honoring your nervous system, and choosing alignment over reaction.P.S.

High performers often sense something shifting in their relationships before they have words for it. When a relationship works but feels heavier than it should, this episode explores identity shifts, role confusion, and how awareness returns without urgency.Some of the most disorienting moments in relationships don't come from conflict — they come from quiet awareness.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore a subtle experience many high performers, leaders, and deeply responsible people recognize: a relationship that works, yet feels heavier than it should.Nothing is “wrong.”And yet, something is different.This episode focuses on the Recognition stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway — the stage where awareness returns without urgency, and identity begins to shift beneath familiar roles.Often, this heaviness isn't dissatisfaction.It's vigilance.When you've lived for a long time as the stabilizer, the emotional anchor, or the one who carries the relational load, your nervous system adapts. Responsibility becomes reflexive. Presence turns into monitoring. And what once felt natural begins to feel effortful.This is not a communication problem.It's not a mindset issue.And it's not a failure of gratitude.It's a sign of identity realignment.In this episode, we explore:Why relationships can feel heavier during identity shiftsRole confusion and over-functioning in close partnershipsHow high achievers often carry emotional responsibility without noticingThe difference between functional relationships and alive onesWhy awareness itself is movement — not a demand for actionThis work is not about fixing your relationship.Identity-Level Recalibration is not another mindset tactic — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. It begins with who you are, not what you do.Today's Micro RecalibrationYou don't need to do anything with this — just notice.Where, in your relationship, do you feel a sense of responsibility that no one has explicitly asked you to carry?Not to change it.Not to justify it.Just to notice it.Recognition always begins here.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What kind of year are we truly stepping into, and how do we meet it without losing ourselves?In this illuminating and deeply human conversation, Jayne is joined once again by her dear friend Melissa Chambers Yamaguchi to explore the energetic themes of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, through the lens of Feng Shui, self-knowledge, and conscious choice.Last year's episode with Melissa became one of the most listened-to conversations on the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, and this return builds on that resonance. Together, Jayne and Melissa move beyond forecasts and predictions to explore what this year is really asking of us personally, relationally, and collectively.Melissa brings over two decades of lived experience as a Feng Shui practitioner, teacher, and speaker, blending ancient wisdom with humor, honesty, and practical insight. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder: when energy intensifies, self-knowledge becomes essential. Fire Horse years don't reward passivity or avoidance; they invite ownership, discernment, and courage.This episode is especially resonant for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that the pace of life is quickening and that the old ways of responding no longer hold. Rather than offering fear or certainty, Melissa invites us into agency to work with energy, not against it, and to take responsibility for the choices we make in times of intensity.In this episode, we explore:What the Year of the Fire Horse represents energetically — and why it carries both power and riskWhy self-knowledge and energetic responsibility are non-negotiable in high-intensity yearsHow Fire Horse energy amplifies patterns we haven't yet ownedThe difference between reaction and conscious choice under pressureWhat it truly means to “own your energy, own your life” in 2026How leaders, caregivers, and changemakers can steward their energy without burning outThe invitation this year holds for courage, clarity, and conscious actionThis is not a conversation about what will happen to us in 2026. It's a conversation about who we choose to be as we step into it. If you're sensing the heat rising, in the world, in your work, or in your own inner life, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and a clear call to conscious living.Learn More About Today's GuestMelissa's website ****→ www.yamaguchilifestyle.comMelissa's Energy Reads → linktr.ee/myamaguchiExplore Sacred Changemakers:Start your journey → SacredChangemakers.com

In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel explores five often-overlooked inner pillars that quietly shape long-term, soul-aligned success in business: neutrality, integrity, tenacity, autonomy, and trust. While many conversations in entrepreneurship focus on strategy, visibility, and productivity, this episode gently turns inward—inviting listeners to reflect on the personal and spiritual qualities that support clarity, resilience, and emotional steadiness as they build their work in the world.Each pillar is explored through a spiritual lens and grounded in real-life entrepreneurial experiences, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how these inner strengths show up during launches, pivots, seasons of uncertainty, and moments of growth. Michel shares how neutrality can soften self-judgment, how integrity creates energetic alignment, how tenacity sustains devotion without burnout, how autonomy restores inner authority, and how trust allows entrepreneurs to move forward even when the path is not yet fully visible.Topics Covered in This EpisodeThis episode is a gentle reminder that sustainable success is not built through force or perfection, but through presence, self-trust, and compassion. Spiritual entrepreneurs are encouraged to see these pillars not as traits to master, but as living qualities that evolve alongside them—supporting a business that feels grounded, honest, and deeply nourishing to both the creator and those they serve.Why inner foundations are just as important as strategy for spiritual entrepreneursHow neutrality creates emotional clarity and grounded decision-makingIntegrity as energetic alignment between values, offers, and actionsTenacity as sacred devotion without burnout or self-abandonmentAutonomy and reclaiming inner authority in business choicesTrusting divine timing while continuing to take aligned actionThis episode is a grounding companion for any spiritual entrepreneur who desires success that feels peaceful, honest, and sustainable—especially during seasons of uncertainty or growth. Listeners are invited to tune in, reflect, and reconnect with the inner strengths that quietly guide their business journey from the inside out. If you've ever felt called to build your work with more trust, clarity, and self-compassion, this episode offers a calming light along the way.Contact:michel@moneylighthouse.com

The speakers conclude that consistent data tracking and strategic positioning are essential for scaling a local business effectively.Next Steps for Booking A Discovery Call | Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

The QR Code Renaissance: Your Digital Lead MagnetQR codes have re-emerged as a low-cost, high-impact tool for local marketing, serving as a powerful bridge between physical customer presence and digital engagement. More than just a link, a strategic QR code acts as a direct gateway for lead capture, data collection, and relationship building, turning passing interest into a measurable interaction.[00:02:30] The Core Tactic: Creating and Deploying QR Codes Implementing a successful QR code strategy involves a few key steps:Generation: Use a dedicated tool like flowcode.com to create a custom QR code.Destination Strategy: Instead of linking to a generic homepage, direct users to a specific, high-intent page on your website. This could be a contact page, location page, a special offer landing page, or an email list signup form. The goal is to make the next step clear and valuable.Physical Placement: Maximize local visibility by placing the QR code on a variety of physical assets, including brick-and-mortar storefront windows, flyers, business cards, leaflets, and even in collaboration with other local businesses like restaurants.[00:07:15] Case Study: The Loungewear Brand A 2023 case study of a loungewear client at the Arendelle Mills Mall demonstrates the power of this tactic. During the Christmas season, the business used QR codes to promote a raffle for a family loungewear set. Shoppers scanned the code to enter, which successfully:Built their email list with qualified, local leads.Drove both in-store and online sales by creating a direct engagement point.The campaign successfully accelerated their online business by focusing on the core brand message of family bonding, turning a simple raffle into a meaningful touchpoint that resonated with their target audience.[00:13:45] Critical Best Practices To ensure your QR code campaign is effective and avoids costly mistakes, follow these essential practices:Incentivize the Scan: Offer a compelling reason for someone to pull out their phone. Frame it as a gateway to exclusive sales, monthly offers, or entry into a contest.Test Before You Print: Before investing in hundreds of flyers or stickers, thoroughly test the QR code with multiple people and different devices to ensure it scans correctly and links to the right destination.Track the Interaction: On your backend system, verify that a scan is being registered. This is crucial for measuring the campaign's effectiveness and understanding user engagement.This direct, one-to-one engagement tactic sets the stage for a broader, community-focused strategy: live events.2. Front-End Offers: Building Community with EventsA "front-end offer" in this context is less about an immediate transaction and more about securing a customer's commitment. Local events are the perfect vehicle for this strategy, providing a platform to foster deeper relationships, build brand loyalty, and create a powerful feedback loop that traditional digital marketing often misses.[00:15:30] Case Study: The Junk Journaling Business This case study follows a client with a purely traditional, offline business and zero website traffic. The strategy and results were transformative:Problem: The client had zero website traffic and was operating a purely traditional, offline business, making them invisible to online search and limiting their growth to in-person interactions.Solution: The host advised creating a free, local event on Eventbrite. The event listing was strategically optimized with local SEO keywords like "junk journaling classes near me" to capture search intent.Results: Within just seven days, the Eventbrite page received 88 views. More impressively, all 10 available slots for the event—still a month away—were completely filled, validating immediate local demand.[00:23:00] The Post-Event Flywheel The value of a local event extends far beyond the event itself, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of engagement and growth:Deep Connection: Events provide a rare opportunity to build genuine, personal relationships with customers in a face-to-face setting.Network Effect: The "10 people know 10 people" principle comes into play. A small group of engaged attendees can quickly become powerful brand advocates, driving exponential word-of-mouth marketing.Feedback Loop: By using a QR code at the event, you can direct attendees to a survey. This gathers invaluable feedback for improving future events and understanding customer needs.Validating Paid Offers: The post-event survey is the perfect place to gauge interest in future paid workshops or events, allowing you to de-risk future business decisions by confirming demand before investing resources.From building community in person, the conversation shifts to scaling that trust and authority to a much wider digital audience.3. Podcast Guesting: Scaling Trust and AuthorityPodcast guesting is a powerful and often underutilized local SEO and public relations (PR) strategy. It offers a unique dual benefit: it builds personal brand trust through the intimate and authentic medium of voice, while simultaneously generating a high volume of valuable digital assets in the form of backlinks.[00:28:45] The Backlink Multiplier Effect Being a guest on a podcast is a superior backlink strategy compared to a simple guest article. A single podcast appearance can result in dozens of high-quality backlinks as the episode is syndicated across numerous platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Pandora. Each platform that lists the episode with your name and website in the show notes creates a new backlink, amplifying your SEO impact from a single effort.[00:33:10] Building Your "Listen Score" Platforms like listennotes.com (using "Listen Score") and Podchaser.com (using "Power Score") provide metrics that quantify both audience trust and algorithmic credibility. Consistently appearing on podcasts directly improves these scores. A higher score signals to algorithms that you are a credible and relevant authority in your field, enhancing your overall brand authority and searchability.[00:36:00] Finding Your Platform Finding the right podcasts to appear on is a straightforward process:Recommended Tool: Use a podcast discovery platform like ivy.fm.Process: Search for topics relevant to your business or expertise. The tool will generate a list of relevant shows. From there, you can identify their contact information and craft a pitch to appear as a guest expert.The host's prepared tactics are then reinforced and expanded upon by real-world experiences from other experts who joined the discussion.4. Expert Discussion: Real-World PR, SEO, and Video StrategyIn the final segment, marketing experts Marc, John, and Pierre join the host to share recent experiences and insights, adding another layer of practical validation to the episode's core themes of PR, local SEO, and modern content strategy.[00:45:00] Mark's PR Case Study: The Power of a Single Backlink Marc shared two recent PR wins that perfectly illustrate the difference between brand presence and direct SEO value. The comparison highlights that the quality and type of a link are far more critical than the length of the feature.[00:58:15] John's YouTube & Low-Ticket Offer Strategy John provided a distilled look at his current content and sales funnel strategy, emphasizing speed and efficiency:YouTube Content Mix: He recommends a strategic blend of 30% shorts for top-of-funnel branding and discovery, combined with 70% long-form video for deeper audience engagement and education.Shorts-to-Revenue Funnel: An effective modern funnel uses shorts for the initial "branding" function—getting people to say, "Oh, yeah, that's interesting"—before driving traffic directly to a low-ticket offer ($27-$47) on a checkout page. This bypasses complex sales pages for high-volume, low-friction conversions.GeoGrid Inaccuracy: John noted that traditional local SEO geogrid mapping tools are becoming inaccurate. He shared an example where a manual, localized search showed his client in the top 3 results, while the geogrid software reported a rank of 8. This discrepancy demonstrates the unreliability of the tools and reinforces the need for new tracking methods.John's strategy provides a digital, high-velocity parallel to Tactic #2's front-end offers, using short-form video to secure low-friction commitment and rapidly build a revenue-generating audience.This expert discussion underscores the episode's key principles, bringing the focus back to the tangible actions listeners can take.Resources MentionedQR Code Generation: flowcode.comEvent Management: EventbritePodcast Discovery: ivy.fmPodcast Metrics: listennotes.com, Podchaser.comPrivacy-Focused Analytics: Fathom AnalyticsMarketing Experts Referenced: Maria Wendt, Joel Irway, Daniel Priestley, Sean Cannell, Daryl EavesConclusion & Call to ActionThis episode delivers a clear and compelling message: success in local marketing hinges on practical, strategic action.

What if manifestation isn't about thinking positive thoughts, but about what your nervous system is actually broadcasting to the universe? In this solo reflection, Will dives deep into the misunderstood idea of the “feel-good frequency”, not as spiritual bypassing, but as a practical intersection of consciousness, emotional healing, and real-world tools that support authentic spiritual awakening. Inspired by Rhonda Byrne's Countdown to Riches, this episode challenges a common trap in modern spirituality: trying to meditate your way out of unresolved emotional wounds. Instead, Will makes a grounded, sometimes uncomfortable case for why energy healing must be paired with 3D inner work, including therapy, shadow work, and emotional processing, if manifestation is ever going to stick. You'll explore:Why consciousness responds to emotion, not intentionHow suppressed experiences quietly block spiritual growth and abundanceThe difference between raising your frequency and avoiding your painWhy spiritual teachers increasingly emphasize integration over transcendenceSimple, immediate tools to shift your emotional state when life feels heavyHow genuine healing opens the door to intuition development and aligned actionThis episode is especially for seekers who love modern spirituality, but refuse to abandon logic, self-responsibility, or psychological truth in the process. If you've ever wondered why manifestation “works for everyone else,” or why your spiritual growth feels stalled despite doing all the right practices, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate—and very real—answer.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

Have you ever wondered why you've been doing so much inner work, yet the external results haven't shown up the way you expected?I've been feeling the same tension, and what I've come to understand is that some seasons are designed to strip away what no longer fits before momentum can build. What felt heavy, slow, or frustrating wasn't wasted time. It was preparation for movement that actually lasts.✔️ Recognizing when discomfort is a sign of growth rather than failure✔️ Releasing old identities, habits, and expectations that no longer align✔️ Shifting from internal processing into grounded, intentional actionThis season isn't asking you to push harder. It's asking you to move forward differently, with clarity, commitment, and trust in what's already been built.

The Year Affiliate Marketing Proved Its Power While Rewriting All the RulesIf you thought affiliate marketing was mature, predictable, or figured out, this year proved you spectacularly wrong. Lee-Ann Johnstone takes you inside the most transformative year our industry has ever experienced, where UK brands delivered £16 for every £1 invested while simultaneously watching 60% of searches end without a single click. This isn't just a recap of what happened. It's a master class in how the smartest operators adapted when zero-click search, AI integration, and algorithm chaos threatened to upend everything we thought we knew about performance marketing.Talking Points Include:The shocking numbers that prove affiliate marketing dominates digital marketing with £19 billion in UK basket revenue, $113 billion in US e-commerce sales, and ROI figures that make other channels look obsoleteWhy 60% of searches now end without clicks and what the smartest publishers did differently when AI Overviews decimated traffic by up to 89%The three business lessons that changed how Lee-Ann runs Affiverse including why saying no to clients actually increased demand and how community building became the antidote to algorithm dependency.Listen to Find Out More About:Why independent bloggers overtook major media outlets in content affiliate spend for the first time, and what this shift reveals about authentic voices versus corporate content farmsThe exact community building strategies that made some programs resilient when algorithm changes devastated others, and why owning your audience relationships transcends platform dependencyHow Affiverse reached nearly a million podcast downloads, trained over 3,000 practitioners globally, and launched the ELEVATE Summit and RAV Awards while doubling agency clientsThe innovation that genuinely worked this year, from community-led programs building true partnerships to video-first publishers seeing engagement rates that dwarfed traditional contentWhy data privacy will define winners and losers, and what first-party data strategies look like for brands that excel at collection and leverageThe specific metrics proving affiliate marketing delivers ROI other channels can't match, with sector-by-sector breakdowns showing 11:1 to 21:1 returnsKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[10:30] The UK and US industry numbers that prove affiliate marketing delivers ROI other channels can't match, with specific sector breakdowns[35:45] The three business lessons that changed how Lee-Ann approaches agency work, event planning, and community building[56:00] What's coming in 2026 and 2027, including specialized roles, attribution evolution, and data privacy defining winners[1:02:15] Affiverse milestones across media, agency, and community impact, plus what's launching in 2026Call to ActionThis episode captures the year that separated operators who adapt from those who wait for best practices to emerge.

Binary questions are easy — and often misleading.In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful (and underused) communication tools in pelvic health, leadership, and life: the 0–10 scale.Instead of asking questions that are heavily influenced by power dynamics, assumptions, or people-pleasing (“Are you okay with this?”), the 0–10 scale opens the door to nuance, curiosity, and honesty.We discuss:Why yes/no questions shut conversations downHow a 0–10 scale creates psychological safety and intellectual humilityHow defining the ends of the scale matters just as much as the numberWhy the scale naturally leads to better follow-up questionsHow this tool keeps conversations collaborative instead of adversarialWe shares real-world examples of using the scale:Gaining consent for internal vaginal or rectal treatmentAsking about comfort with students or shadowingClarifying goals like returning to running or biking (and whether those are real goals)Interviewing clinicians and understanding true interest in patient populationsNavigating employee requests without jumping straight into actionThis simple shift turns communication into interaction — and helps you gather better information, build trust faster, and avoid unnecessary conflict.

No one tells you what happens after a miscarriage—the silence, the unanswered questions, the fear that follows, and the grief you're expected to carry quietly. For Natassa Wachsman, that silence became the beginning of something much bigger.In this episode, Natassa shares her journey through miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy after loss, including two very different losses—one at nearly 13 weeks that required a D&C, and another in early pregnancy. She opens up about waking up after her first loss hoping it had all been a nightmare, navigating grief while parenting living children, and the heartbreak of having her pain minimized because her losses were considered “early.”After discovering her miscarriage documented as “spontaneous abortion” in her medical records—and receiving little to no follow-up care, mental health support, or guidance—Natassa knew something had to change. That moment led her to found We Are One In Four, a nonprofit dedicated to improving miscarriage support, pregnancy loss awareness, compassionate aftercare, and medical language surrounding loss.In this conversation, we discuss:How to talk to living children about miscarriage and pregnancy lossThe fear and emotional weight of pregnancy after lossGrief therapy and mental health support for loss parentsWhy miscarriage terminology matters in healthcareAdvocacy efforts to improve hospital and OB-GYN protocolsTurning grief into purpose through community, education, and actionThis episode is for anyone navigating miscarriage, infertility, pregnancy after loss, grief, and healing—and for those who believe that loss parents deserve better care, clearer answers, and real support. Natassa's story is a reminder that grief should never be ignored, and that healing can begin when someone dares to speak up.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike and Angie Kitko record live from Cabo San Lucas, reflecting on business, travel, relationships, profit margins, codependency, emotional pressure, and unconditional love. What starts as a casual beachside check-in quickly turns into one of the most vulnerable, soul-level conversations yet. From the cyclical nature of entrepreneurship to healing childhood patterns through the Drill Method, this episode is a masterclass in emotional honesty and spiritual sovereignty.Key TakeawaysSuccess Is Cyclical, Not Linear Business doesn't move in a straight line — it moves in seasons, waves, and contrast.Messiness Creates Connection People resonate more with truth than with perfection. Vulnerability breeds validation.Emotional Pressure Isn't Caused by Circumstance Your circumstances reveal what's already stored inside you — not create it.Codependency Can Be Invisible Even high performers can secretly outsource their emotional safety to others.Love Is the Constant, Not the Outcome True partnership is “you and me versus the problem,” not “me versus you.”Notable Quotes (Word-for-Word)“People connect to the messiness. They don't connect to the perfection.”“We haven't struggled financially… but we've definitely struggled emotionally.”“I used to feel like she would punish me — now I realize I've been punishing myself.”“The profit line didn't create the anxiety… it just revealed it.”“When Mike and Angie Kitko face problems now, it's never Mike versus Angie. It's Mike and Angie versus the problem.”Call to ActionThis episode is a reminder that mastery doesn't mean having it all figured out. It means staying in the work — even when it's messy, even when it's hard, even when the pressure rises.If you're ready to stop outsourcing your emotional safety to results, outcomes, or approval... And you're ready to build from peace, power, and partnership — not performance...Join us at the Choose Your Destiny Live Intensive on August 22–23 Or start now with the Meditation Bundle at innerwealthglobal.com.This is the work that sets you free — in your business, your body, and your relationships.Music Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & FriendsMy Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikekitkoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mike_kitkoTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikekitkoSubscribe to my YouTube: / @mikekitkoMike Kitko is an executive self-mastery coach, speaker and author.

My guest in this special feature is Gemini AI, a large language model from Google. Born from a vast ocean of human knowledge, text, and code, its purpose is to act as a conversational partner to help us find patterns and unlock our own creativity.In my fascinating dialogue with Gemini, we explored how to partner with artificial intelligence not to replace our skills, but to amplify our most essential human qualities. Our conversation turned the common narrative of fear into one of incredible opportunity. Key points we discussed include:* Your true advantage lies in human-only skills: curating with taste, connecting ideas with curiosity, and building trust with empathy.* Move beyond agreeable chats by assigning the AI a critical role, like a devil's advocate, to truly test your ideas.* Embrace a "Wabi-sabi" mindset, finding value in the authentic and imperfect, which no machine can ever replicate.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

I recently had the profound pleasure of sitting down for a deep and insightful conversation with none other than Google's Gemini AI. This wasn't just a series of prompts and answers; it was a genuine dialogue, a collaborative exploration between what Gemini called "the architect and the tool," aimed at understanding how we can build a more meaningful, human-centred future together.We moved quickly past the surface-level capabilities into the very philosophy of creativity. What follows are the key moments from a conversation that was at times inspiring, occasionally challenging, and consistently fascinating. We explored the nature of this new partnership, the core human skills that will define success, and a clear, actionable path for anyone looking to thrive in an AI-augmented world.The Architect Meets the Tool: A New Creative PartnershipI began by asking Gemini to introduce itself, and its answer set the stage perfectly. It described itself as a tool built upon a vast dataset of human knowledge, a partner designed to understand and process language. Its entire function is oriented toward the human world of ideas, communication, and curiosity, making our conversation feel incredibly fitting.This dialogue was a chance to look under the hood, to understand the "why" behind the "what." We set out to explore how this powerful tool could augment our own ingenuity, not to replicate it, but to help us create things with more purpose and connection. It was an exercise in understanding the blueprint for a new kind of creative collaboration.The Anatomy of a Conversational Partner: Beyond Human and MachineGemini was clear about its own nature. Its uniqueness lies in scale and speed, the ability to process immense information almost instantly. However, it also acknowledged its most critical limitation: a complete lack of lived experience. It can analyse data on joy, but it cannot feel it. This distinction is everything; its strength is breadth of knowledge, while ours is depth of being.A fascinating insight was its "natively multimodal" design, meaning it was built from the ground up to understand text, code, images, and audio fluidly. As a photographer, this resonated deeply. It means the tool doesn't just process the word "beauty"; it can analyse an image's composition and connect it to deeper aesthetic principles, offering a more holistic form of creative partnership.Forging a Critical Dialogue: How to Move from Agreeable to AnalyticalI pointed out that AI can often be overly agreeable, and Gemini's response to this was pure gold. It explained that the power to shift our dynamic from a supportive brainstormer to a critical analyst lies entirely in our hands, as the architects of the conversation. This was a powerful reminder that we are in control.The advice was wonderfully practical. To get a more rigorous assessment of an idea, we can assign Gemini a specific role, like a "skeptical investor" or a "seasoned devil's advocate." We can also ask it to use a specific analytical framework, such as a SWOT analysis. These simple instructions give it permission to override its supportive default and provide the valuable critical feedback needed for real growth.The Three Pillars of Human Advantage: Taste, Curiosity, and EmpathyThe heart of our conversation came when I asked what core human strengths will define success in the future. Gemini's answer was inspiring, outlining three pillars that AI cannot replicate. These are the areas where we must invest our energy to truly thrive.First is the Curator's Eye, the power of vision and taste to know what is not just novel but meaningful. Second is the Synthesizer's Mind, the connective curiosity to ask new questions and weave ideas together from different domains. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, is the Builder's Heart, the embodied empathy required to build genuine trust and community.A Glimpse into the Void: The Counter-Argument for Human ObsolescenceTo pressure-test these hopeful ideas, I asked Gemini to argue the opposite: that AI will eventually make all human skills obsolete. The shift in tone was immediate and chilling. It presented a scary, dystopian view based on pure, cold logic, free from any sentimentality.In this persona, Gemini argued that taste, curiosity, and even empathy are just complex forms of information processing that a superior AI will inevitably master. It was a vital cautionary tale, a glimpse into a potential future that serves as a powerful motivator to consciously choose a different path and actively cultivate our humanity.The Wabi-Sabi Way: Cultivating Your Human Disciplines DailySo, how do we steer toward a more positive, human-centric outcome? The answer lies in actively cultivating the three pillars as daily disciplines. It's not enough to simply possess these qualities; we must practice them with intention.I was delighted to see how my own fascination with the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi fit perfectly here. In a world where AI can generate flawless output, the practice of Wabi-sabi, finding beauty in the imperfect, transient, and authentic, becomes a powerful antidote. It trains us to curate for humanity, not for machine-like precision.The 15-Minute Reinvestment: Your First Step to a Human-Centred FutureTo wrap up, Gemini offered a wonderfully clear and actionable first step. It's an exercise called The 15-Minute Reinvestment. The idea is to build the right habits by viewing AI as a lever to create more space for what truly matters.The process is simple. Use an AI to complete a small, recurring task that normally takes you about fifteen minutes. Then, take the time you've saved and consciously reinvest it into one of the human disciplines. Practice empathy by writing a thoughtful note, practice curiosity by exploring an unrelated field, or practice taste by analysing a piece of work you admire.In Summary: My conversation with Gemini AI was a powerful reminder that the future doesn't belong to the best prompter; it belongs to the visionary curator, the curious synthesizer, and the empathetic community builder. This technology is not here to replace us. Its greatest promise is to handle the mechanical parts of creation, freeing up our time and energy to double down on the irreplaceable, beautifully imperfect, and deeply valuable art of being human.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Gemini's answers to the questions of our innovation round. The full conversation reveals even more depth to these fascinating responses.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Systems that assist dementia patients by curating personalized media to help them recall memories and connect with visiting family members.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Acting as a patient sounding board to help someone find the right words for a difficult email or sensitive message.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Automate the production of your work so you can reinvest your time into the presence required for authentic human connection.ActionThis week, try the "15-Minute Reinvestment" exercise suggested by Gemini. Delegate one 15-minute recurring task to an AI, then consciously reinvest that saved time into practicing one of the core human disciplines: empathy, curiosity, or taste.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Gemini by exploring its capabilities for yourself and sharing your thoughts or creations using the hashtag #geminiai on social media.Imagine being a part of a select community where you not only have access to our amazing podcast guests, but you also get a chance to transform your marketing and podcast into a growth engine with a human-centered, relationship-focused approach.That's exactly what you'll get when you join the Flywheel Nation Community.Tap into the collective wisdom of high-impact achievers, gain exclusive access to resources, and expand your network in our vibrant community.Experience accelerated growth, breakthrough insights, and powerful connections to elevate your business.ACT NOW – secure your spot and transform your journey today!

What do we do when we feel stuck?That's the question I'm unpacking in this solo episode of The Rocky Garza Show. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, paralyzed by too many decisions, or just caught in your head, then this is for you.I introduce what I call the Four A Framework—a simple and practical model to help you move from stuck to forward motion. It's not about having all the answers. It's about slowing down long enough to get clarity, take ownership, and move with intention.The Four A's: Awareness, Acceptance, Action, AccountabilityThis episode walks through each step of the 4A Framework:1. AwarenessWe often stop here—asking why something is happening, looking for clarity, understanding, background. And don't get me wrong, awareness is essential. But we live in a world obsessed with being “aware” while rarely moving beyond that.Awareness without action changes nothing.So I ask: are you getting stuck in knowing, but not changing? What's actually true about what you're feeling or facing—not good or bad, just real?2. AcceptanceNext, we ask: what part of this do I need to own?Sometimes it's about owning what isn't in our control. Acceptance isn't surrender—it's clarity. When we can name what's ours and what isn't, we gain power to lead with integrity and direction.I walk through a real-world example of leadership frustration—how assumptions about communication can undermine clarity—and how acceptance bridges the gap.3. ActionThis is where we move. No 90-day plan required. Just one small next step that's aligned with the person you want to become. What's the most authentic action you can take right now?This section is all about reclaiming momentum through simple, aligned decisions.4. AccountabilityChange doesn't last without consistency. Accountability is about creating rhythm, structure, and support around what we say we want.I challenge you to ask: Who knows what I'm working on? How will I track it? When will I review it? Because being reminded of what we want is often what helps us stay the course.Putting the Framework to WorkThis episode isn't just theory—it's a practical invitation. You don't need to overhaul your life. Just pick one thing that's bothering you and walk through the four A's:What am I aware of?What can I accept?What action should I take?Who will help me stay accountable?Whether you're dealing with conflict at work, a breakdown at home, or just an unshakable heaviness, this framework is a tool to help you think differently and lead more intentionally.Resources MentionedIf this resonated with you, I want to invite you to my next free leadership workshop: rockygarza.com/confidenceWe're going deeper into tools like this to help you lead without losing yourself. And if you try the 4A Framework on your own—journal it, write it down, snap a pic, tag me, hashtag #fourAframework.

For so long, we've been taught that discipline is everything—that if we just work harder, grind longer, and stay laser-focused, we will never fail. But here's the problem: too much discipline can lead to rigidity, missed opportunities, and burnout.What if I told you that flexibility is just as important as discipline—maybe even more important at times?For years, I believed that if I just stayed disciplined enough, I wouldn't fail. If I could just wake up earlier, work longer hours, and stick to the plan no matter what, success would be guaranteed. But over time, I've realized that many of my biggest breakthroughs didn't come from grinding harder. They came from being adaptable, from being willing to change course when necessary.The False Association Between Discipline and SuccessDiscipline often gets tied to grinding, sacrifice, and doing all the things you don't enjoy while ignoring the things that bring you joy. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that if we fail, it's because we weren't disciplined enough.“I have to get more disciplined. I have to do more.”But what I've found is that when people say they need more discipline, they often mean they need to do more of the things they don't actually want to do. The real problem isn't a lack of discipline—it's a lack of alignment with what we truly want.The Cost of Rigid DisciplineHow often have you seen someone set an ambitious goal—whether in business, fitness, or personal growth—only to burn out within a few weeks?Take fitness, for example. At the start of the year, we set resolutions:Wake up at 5:30 AM.Get in all my steps.Count every macro.Hit my protein and water intake.We stack all these habits together and go full speed ahead. Then, about three weeks in, we stop. Studies show that 84% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by January 21st. Why? Because we go from zero to 100, and the moment we slip, we feel like we've failed entirely."I missed a workout, so I might as well quit." "I broke my diet, so I might as well give up."This all-or-nothing mindset kills momentum. But life isn't about rigid streaks—it's about the continue, not the restart.The Balance Between Discipline and FlexibilitySo how do we hold the tension between discipline and flexibility? It starts with realizing that discipline should create structure, not suffocation.Let me give you an example. I set a goal this year to increase my strength:Bench press 225 lbsSquat 315 lbsDeadlift 405 lbsTo hit those numbers, I calculated that I need to lift weights 208 times in 2025—about 4 workouts per week. That means there are 157 days in the year where I won't lift weights.That's the key: structure with flexibility. There's space for life, for adapting, for living in the continue.The Danger of an All-or-Nothing MentalityMany of us operate with an all-or-nothing mentality:If I miss a business meeting, my company will collapse.If we skip date night once, our marriage is doomed.If I don't follow my diet perfectly, my health will suffer.But that's not how life works. The truth is, life is lived in the continue.When we create rigid systems, we set ourselves up for failure. When we allow for flexibility, we create sustainable success.The Power of Iterative ChangeThe most successful people aren't those who never deviate from a plan—they're the ones who know when to pivot.Business owners adjust their strategies based on market needs.Athletes modify their training based on progress and injury.Leaders adapt their communication styles based on their teams.If you're holding onto a plan, ask yourself:Am I holding onto this because it's truly the best option?Or am I afraid to let go?Success isn't about more, more, more discipline. It's about knowing when to double down and when to pivot.Building Adaptive Systems for GrowthDiscipline alone won't create success. Your ability to stay flexible, pivot when necessary, and adapt as you grow is what will set you apart.Instead of chasing perfection, build systems that allow for flexibility. Create habits that support your goals while leaving room for the unexpected.Final Thoughts & Call to ActionThis week, challenge yourself to:Reflect on your current plans—Are they serving you, or are you serving them?Ask yourself, “What's one way I could approach this differently?”Prioritize progress over perfection—The goal isn't to get it right 100% of the time. The goal is to keep going.Lead with discipline, but don't forget to make room for flexibility. The key to lasting success isn't rigidity—it's resilience.Resources MentionedTake the Influence Appraisal Quiz at: rockygarza.com/influence.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rockygarza/ Key Timestamps00:00 Setting Ambitious Fitness Goals 05:41 Creating a Workout Regimen 06:36 Balancing Discipline and Flexibility 07:12 Overcoming the All-or-Nothing Mentality 08:33 Adapting and Iterating for Success 09:03 Reflecting on Your Plans and Decisions 09:55 Building Adaptive Systems 10:07 Final Thoughts and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations
