Pure creatives are selfish. They create art for themselves. And your potential clients don't care about your personal creativity. They care about what's in it for them. So as a creative, we can't just be selfishly isolated in our little rooms creating art for art's sake because it fulfills us. When it comes to actually being a business owner, we have to create real value for other people, which means we can't be selfish when it comes to our creativity. We have to share it with others. As it says on the wall behind me in my office, “It takes more than passion.” If you're running a freelance business, don't forget - you're running a business. And that takes entrepreneurial skills that may not come naturally for many creatives. This week's episode is about finding the sweet spot between creativity and entrepreneurship. Both the creative and the entrepreneur are essential elements of your freelance business… And there are good parts and bad parts of both. In this episode you'll discover: Balancing the creative and entrepreneurial sides of your brain What entrepreneurs understand that creatives don't Using people, processes, and systems, to create value Keeping your creative spark alive Scheduling time for creative and entrepreneurial tasks Expanding your horizons by joining communities and finding mentors For full show notes, visit ⁠https://6figurecreative.com/393⁠

How to Use Gratitude as Fuel in Your Cash-Based PT Journey Episode Overview In this episode, Danny breaks down how gratitude isn't just a feel-good idea – it's a practical performance tool for stressed-out cash-based practice owners, especially those in the early "nights-and-weekends" grind. He explains why the early stage of business is mentally brutal, how gratitude helps you zoom out, and how to use it as fuel instead of living in frustration over goals you haven't hit yet. Key Topics Covered The hardest stage of business: early Rainmaker-phase grind Why your confidence wobbles when you're part time and building on nights/weekends How to reframe "I'm not where I want to be yet" with gratitude Using your "past self" as a perspective check Why high achievers are most vulnerable to frustration and burnout Being grateful beyond revenue: health, family, and relationships Balancing ambition with contentment Gratitude as Fuel, Not Fluff Danny shares a post from PT Biz head coach, Courtney Morse, written to early-stage Rainmaker clients who feel like they're not moving fast enough: Your business might look early, messy, or slow – but you took control of your future. Most people stay stuck, complain, and never take action. You didn't. You stepped out, bet on yourself, and started building something from nothing. Gratitude isn't just a holiday feeling – it's a strategy to keep going. Reframing Your Progress One of the strongest gratitude practices Danny recommends: Imagine going back 2–10 years and telling your past self where you are today. That version of you would probably be fired up, proud, and amazed you actually took the leap. But current you might be frustrated that you haven't hit a certain revenue number yet. Gratitude helps you hold two truths at the same time: You're not where you ultimately want to be yet. You're also much further ahead than you used to be – and that's worth celebrating. High Achievers and the Gratitude Gap Danny talks about why ambitious clinicians struggle with gratitude: High achievers expect progress and often move the goalposts as soon as they hit something. They fixate on what hasn't happened yet instead of what has. This can lead to chronic frustration, even when things are objectively going well. Beyond Business Metrics Most practice owners can quote revenue and visit numbers on demand – but rarely track: Dinners or time spent with friends Moments with family they're building this whole thing for Time invested in their own health Danny challenges you to be grateful for: Your family, who supports you regardless of how the business performs Your health and ability to even take a swing at entrepreneurship The flexibility and privilege of having the option to start your own practice at all When You Miss a Goal Danny shares a story about missing a seven-figure revenue goal by ~$50k in one year and being miserable about it, until his wife reminded him: A few years prior, he would have been thrilled just to replace his $84k Army salary. In that context, "only" doing $950k in his own business is an incredible win. Perspective plus gratitude completely changes how you experience your progress. Practical Ways to Use Gratitude as a Strategy Regularly ask: "What would my past self think of my current life and business?" List non-business wins: family, health, relationships, freedom, flexibility. Use gratitude to pull yourself out of tunnel vision on a single missed number. Let gratitude energize you to build the next year, instead of beating yourself up. Big Takeaways Early-stage business is brutally stressful – especially when you're still working full time. Gratitude isn't soft; it's a mental reset button that keeps you from burning out. You can be ambitious and still deeply grateful for how far you've come. You don't have to be miserable to hit big goals.

What happens when the life you thought was secure… disappears overnight?In this powerful and deeply human episode of Shut Up and GRIND, Robert B. Foster sits down with Gail Showalter — author, educator, nonprofit founder, and relentless advocate for single mothers — to unpack what really happens after divorce, betrayal, and starting over.Gail had what many would call the dream: a marriage, three children, a family business, a beautiful home, and a promising future.Then came another woman — and everything changed.Instead of letting the pain define her, Gail leaned into vulnerability, education, and purpose. With three young children in tow, she returned to college, published her first story Baby Steps, changed careers to become a Braille teacher, and eventually founded Single Moms EmpowerEd — a nonprofit born not from strategy, but from compassion.What began as simply wanting to “give single moms a break” evolved into a powerful mission centered on education, empowerment, and personality understanding — because Gail noticed something critical:Single moms with access to education and self-awareness were far more resilient.In this episode, we talk about:

In this episode of GarageCast, we sit down with Tom Whowoll, third-generation owner of Gordy's, to explore why real-world experiences will always matter in the boating industry. From the irreplaceable thrill of being on the water to the power of experiential selling, Tom shares how Gordy's has built a legacy by creating memories—not just selling boats.Tom also recounts a remarkable personal story of resilience after a near-fatal accident on Lake Geneva, and how his passion for wind-powered sports and boating never faded. This conversation is a powerful reminder that while technology and AI can enhance the journey, nothing replaces authentic experiences, community, and the emotional connection of life on the water.

If you've been dealing with constant dizziness and brain fog and you can't figure out why you feel off, spacey, or not fully in your body, this episode is for you. Dizziness and brain fog are not just random symptoms or signs of aging – they're often your brain's way of screaming that your balance system is overloaded and undertrained. Constant dizziness and brain fog can also quietly wreck your focus, drain your energy, spike your anxiety, and sabotage how you show up at work, in the gym, and in your relationships. In this episode, you'll learn why what feels like a “mind problem” is often actually a balance problem – and how to start changing it from the ground up.Human Performance Specialist Caydrick Bloomquist breaks down the hidden role of your brain's balance network in mood, focus, stress, and sleep, and why most guys never get taught how to train it on purpose. Caydrick's work in Neuro-Functional Training and Mental Fitness shows that when you start working directly with your balance and awareness systems, you can shift how you feel faster and more powerfully than just trying to “think positive” or meditate harder. Instead of floating through your day half-present and half-dissociated, you learn how to get back in your body, stabilize your system, and actually feel like yourself again.You'll hear how balance drills and vestibular-focused work – including spinning, head movements, and targeted visual-vestibular exercises – can literally help rewire your brain. These inputs tell your nervous system, “You're safe and in control,” which can calm anxiety, clear brain fog, and reduce that ongoing dizzy, floaty feeling in a way that sitting still often can't touch. If meditation has felt too slow or frustrating for you, this conversation gives you a more active, body-based way to train awareness, presence, and emotional regulation.We also explore why your balance system is really your awareness system – constantly feeding your brain information about where you are in space. When that system is off, your brain feels unsafe and ramps up symptoms like dizziness, weird vision, brain fog, irritability, and emotional overreactions. When you tune this system up, you don't just stand steadier; you think clearer, react calmer, and sleep deeper because your brain finally trusts your body again.If you're a man who's tired of living with constant dizziness and brain fog, feeling like your brain is always half a second behind, this episode gives you a new map for what's actually going on – and a path forward. You'll walk away with a new understanding of why you feel the way you feel, plus practical ideas and a fresh respect for the “hidden hardware” driving your mood, focus, and performance.Hosted on Ausha.

You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career.

As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene.

During the holidays, true balance comes from supporting the whole person—body, mind, and emotions—rather than pushing through stress. From my perspective as a chiropractor and life coach, physical energy is protected by good posture, gentle movement, breathing, and stable nutrition; mental energy is preserved by simplifying schedules, limiting distractions, and practicing presence; and emotional energy is maintained through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful responses instead of reactions. The holidays are not about endurance or perfection, but about alignment—honoring your limits, staying grounded in daily anchors, and allowing peace, not pressure, to guide the season.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about BALANCE during the Holidays!
