After finding her lifeless body in the bedroom of her apartment, police immediately zeroed in on Alonza as their prime suspect. With the circumstantial evidence piling up against Alonza, investigators were stunned when a crucial piece of evidence excluded him from the crime scene.

Separating who you are from what you achieve can feel liberating, allowing you to find worth in simply being rather than constantly doing. Gratitude plays a powerful role in shifting focus from what's lacking to what's already present, helping to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth. A positive mindset doesn't mean ignoring hardships but approaching them with the belief that they're temporary and surmountable. Cody Askins is a successful insurance industry leader and entrepreneur. Despite facing personal and professional challenges early in his career, Cody has built a thriving business and developed a passion for mentoring and supporting other insurance agents. Today, Cody shares his life's story, from working through illness as a 16-year-old to achieving financial success in the insurance industry. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “Financial services have more millionaires than any other industry in the world, and insurance is a part of financial services. So if it's going to be tough and the toughest, it might as well be the most financially rewarding.” – Cody Askins “When I start off with gratitude, it's really hard not to smile and be unhappy when you're thinking about all the amazing things happening in your life and how grateful you are for those things.” – Cody Askins “Step one of success is showing up, especially when you don't want to.” – Cody Askins “No matter what someone is going through, if they want to do the right thing, stay connected, and work through it, they can.” – Cody Askins “There's this superpower of self-awareness and self-confidence, and when you have that, people understand they can trust and rely upon you.” – Matt Beaudreau Takeaways: Develop a mindset of gratitude and positivity, even in the face of adversity. Start your day by reflecting on what you're thankful for to maintain motivation and resilience. Embrace rejection and setbacks as opportunities for growth and improvement. View "no's" as feedback to become better, not personal failures. Surround yourself with mentors and a support system that will challenge you and hold you accountable to your goals. Use the wisdom and experience of those who have walked the path before you. Consistently take small, positive actions towards your objectives, rather than relying on big, one-time breakthroughs. Compound your efforts over time to achieve lasting success. Prioritize integrity and doing the right thing, even when it's difficult. Maintain your principles and values as the foundation for your personal and professional life. Conclusion: Pursuing a resilient mindset begins with small, consistent practices like journaling, mindfulness, or taking a moment to appreciate life's small wins. These simple actions gradually build the clarity and strength needed to face challenges with a calm and focused approach. Over time, they shape how we respond to obstacles, helping us navigate them with greater ease and confidence. This effort to nurture positivity and awareness ultimately empowers us to handle life's ups and downs more effectively.

Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ben Askins joins Ash and Kane to discuss how he created and sold a luxury digital marketing agency and his journey to becoming a viral content creator with 1.5 million followers in just 18 months. He shares insights and experiences regarding content creation, tackling topics from the challenges of handling viral growth to the effects of social media on politics. He also gives his perspectives on business, management, and the future of green technology. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a luxury brand requires a different approach as direct outreach doesn't work; instead, focus on inbound marketing and making brands want to approach you. Content creators can get locked into their audience's expectations, forcing them to maintain certain viewpoints even if their actual opinions evolve. Personal branding should be broader than your business niche. Ben's content about management helps his green tech company by opening doors through his influence. The most relatable content often performs best, so stories about common workplace frustrations resonate more than extreme scenarios. Growing a successful content following doesn't require fancy production. Ben's simple setup of talking to a camera against a blank wall generated 750 million views! When starting a business young, many will be patronising until you hit a tipping point, then they'll claim your success was obvious or lucky. Social media has completely changed the way we consume information, Ben's content sometimes gets more views than traditional news outlets, proving the shift in media influence. BEST MOMENTS "We were very good at hiring good people to kinda help us out as we knew nothing we couldn't kid ourselves we could do it on our own” "There is a snobbery to luxury, and what I mean by that is you can't show you're too keen." "I get branded like a career expert and HR expert. I'm not that. I just a lot of all the knowledge I have is on a sort of practical level." "I think content creators sit between... celebrities and in the sense of like, I think content creators people feel a more of a personal connection to in a lot of ways." "Either at some point as a country we're either going to be selling the tech or purchasing it. That's just a fact." "I love that about social, the fact that people can monetise things they absolutely love. I think that's got to be good for the world and society in general."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/askinsben/ Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?
