Episode 381 reframes Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for sales professionals, reviewing Chapters 1–3 to show how thought, desire, and faith create predictable sales results. Andrea Samadi connects these timeless principles to practical steps—how to set burning goals, build unwavering belief through repetition, and transfer certainty to buyers. Listeners will get actionable frameworks (a five-step belief plan and the six steps to impress desire) and a clear roadmap for aligning mindset with sales execution, plus a preview of the next episode continuing the series. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 381, we are connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i], where we covered the well-known book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, to make 2022 our best year ever. Today we will cover: ✔ Chapter 1: The Power of Thought: A 5 STEP Plan to Improve Sales (Outer World) by Improving Your Thoughts (Inner World) ✔ Chapter 2: Desire With a 6 STEP Plan to Achieve ANY Goal ✔ Chapter 3: Faith With 3 Ways to Build Unwavering Faith That Will Change Your Life Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched 2022. Over a 6-part podcast series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. This series will always be special for me, as I had heard that my mentor, who inspired me to study this book, Bob Proctor, became ill while I was writing the last episode in the series PART 6. He passed away before it was released, and I'll always remember this episode series, connected to the many people, globally, that he inspired through his work. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with your life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. In order for me to have gained this understanding, I have to give credit, where credit is due here. I would not have been able to cover our 2022 series without following Paul Martinelli's yearly reviews[ii] of this timeless Think and Grow Rich book that I started to follow in 2019, and continued every year until 2025 when he covered popular Science of Getting Rich book. It was through Paul's explanations, and line by line interpretations, that I finally began to not only READ this book, (from start to finish) but started to INTEGRATE the concepts into my life. I highly encourage following his work, as he continues to host many free webinars, where he gives away knowledge, with no pressure at all to purchase anything from him. I know why he does these webinars. It's not only to help others, but something magical happens when you give back to others, without expecting anything in return. When we covered this 6 PART series, back in 2022, TEACHING these concepts, it took me to another level of understanding, where I realized that this book is not meant to be read just once, but read over and over again, every year, as we all work on whatever it is we are working on, or want to master. This is a living, breathing body of knowledge and is there for all of us, year after year, as we refine our own inner mastery, and move step by step closer to our goals. Albert Einstein explained this concept well when he said that “if you can't explain it to a six-year-old you don't understand it yourself” and this is because teaching something will clearly show you where you have gaps in your own understanding. I'll never forget when I got to PART 6 of the book review, I noticed my book had no notes after around chapter 13. I began studying this book in my late 20s, and was very interested in the subconscious mind (chapter 12) but not at all interested in the brain (chapter 13) at this time, so I actually stopped reading the book here. I knew I never did finished reading this book (until I had to teach it) which explains a lot when it comes to the commitment to complete something. In order to teach something, we must first of all understand it ourselves. But when we LIVE it, and EMBODY what we are teaching (like Paul Martinelli has done) and what I am striving to do, it takes the words in each chapter to greater heights. So with gratitude to Paul Martinelli, who has created a valuable Sales Training Program, based on this timeless book, here is my attempt at covering Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, for the Sales Professional, and I couldn't have produced this episode, without Paul's teachings. Let's now look at the first 10 important chapters from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of making our 2026 our Best Year ever, as well as to connect each principal for the salesperson. And you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens Chapter I: The Power of Thought Applied to Sales Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Core Idea: Sales performance is a reflection of expectation and belief first, not effort alone. What you think and believe about your ability, your product, and your outcome directly determines how you show up—and how others respond to you. Sales Applications Your internal dialogue sets your sales ceiling “Hoping” for results programs hesitation and inconsistency Expectation + emotion = outcome Listener Takeaway You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe you can achieve. You get the sale you expect. The one you actually believe you can achieve. REVIEW OF CHAPTER I — “The Power of Thought” Edwin C. Barnes: The Man Who Thought Himself into Partnership with Thomas Edison In Chapter I of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill introduces us to Edwin C. Barnes, a man who achieved something extraordinary—not through money, connections, or credentials—but through the power of his thought. Barnes held a single, unwavering vision: to work with Thomas Edison—not for him, but with him. This was an audacious goal. Barnes did not know Edison personally. He lacked money, influence, and even the funds to comfortably pay for the train fare to New Jersey. Yet none of these obstacles altered his decision. Hill explains that Barnes did not wish for this partnership. He decided it would happen. When Edison later recalled their first meeting, he described Barnes standing before him looking like an ordinary tramp—but said there was something unmistakable in the expression of his face: “There was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Edison did not see wealth, polish, or preparation. He saw initiative, faith, and the will to win—and that was enough. Barnes brought no money to the table. No résumé. No formal value proposition. But he carried something far more powerful: a clear vision, unwavering belief, and a level of certainty that Edison could feel. Hill later writes that Barnes' “bulldog determination” and persistence with a single desire was destined to mow down all opposition and bring him the opportunity he sought. Barnes did not retreat when months passed and nothing happened. He did not say, “What's the use?” He did not downgrade his goal to something more “reasonable.” He held the vision until reality caught up with it. Why This Matters for Sales To understand why Edison trusted Barnes, we must understand something critical: Thought carries frequency. Belief has energy. Certainty is felt long before it is spoken. Edison did not evaluate Barnes based on where he was. He responded to where Barnes knew he was going. Barnes was already operating on the frequency of partnership—not employment. And Edison recognized it. “When one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.” (Chapter I, p. 3, TAGR) Barnes was ready. Putting Chapter I into Action for Sales Look at the image in the show notes illustrating levels of frequency of thought—where the physical, intellectual, and spiritual worlds intersect like the colors of a rainbow. Think of each level as a different radio station. To hear the station you want, you must tune your mind to that frequency. If you receive your 2026 sales goal and your immediate thought is: “There's no way I can do this,” then that is the frequency you are broadcasting. You are not tuned to the level where that goal exists. You cannot reach a destination using the same level of thinking that created your current results. This is why Marshall Goldsmith's principle holds true: What got you here won't get you there.[iii] The Key to Chapter I: Unwavering Belief Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “When a person really desires a thing so deeply that they are willing to stake their entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, they are sure to win.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Barnes staked his future on belief. Sales excellence requires the same commitment. A 5-Step Sales Application Framework to Apply Chapter 1 STEP 1 When your sales goal is set, ask yourself honestly: Do I believe I can achieve this? STEP 2 If belief is present, create a clear, actionable plan—and commit to following it consistently. STEP 3 If belief is not present, seek out someone who has already achieved the result. Borrow their certainty. Follow their guidance exactly. STEP 4 Once belief is established, take daily action. There is no wishing—only disciplined effort backed by belief. STEP 5 Monitor not just results, but your level of belief. When belief wavers, behavior follows suit. When behavior wavers, results disappear. Final Thought for Chapter 1 Edwin C. Barnes did not succeed because he was lucky. He succeeded because he thought differently—and held that thought long enough for reality to align with it. He jumped to an entirely new frequency with this belief. Sales mastery begins the same way. Not with tactics. Not with scripts. But with the Power of Thought Backed by Belief. Chapter II: Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results Core Idea: Desire must be emotionally charged and specific. Sales Application: Turning vague quotas into emotional targets Why clarity eliminates hesitation Selling with intention vs need Listener Takeaway: Vague goals create vague results. REVIEW OF CHAPTER II: DESIRE — The Starting Point of All Achievement Chapter II of Think and Grow Rich brings us to the engine behind every meaningful result: Desire. Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “All achievement begins with an idea.” But not every idea becomes reality. Only ideas fueled by burning desire become reality. Hill describes Edwin C. Barnes' desire as something very specific: “It was not a hope. It was not a wish. It was a pulsating desire which transcended everything else. It was definite.” (Chapter II, p. 19, TAGR) Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He did not wish it might happen someday. He expected it. At the time, there was no evidence this partnership would ever exist. Barnes and Edison were not in conversation. There were no guarantees. No proof. No visible path. And yet Barnes committed to the idea anyway. That's the nature of true desire: It moves before evidence appears. Going from where you are now to where you want to go is always a process—and at the beginning of that process, desire often feels irrational, private, even uncomfortable to say out loud. That doesn't make it wrong. It makes it powerful. Why This Matters for Sales In sales, desire drives behavior. You don't need to know how you'll hit your goal at the beginning. You only need to know what you want and why you want it. The “how” always reveals itself after this commitment. This is something my mentor Bob Proctor emphasized constantly. When I moved from Canada to the United States in 2001, I had no clear roadmap. I didn't know exactly how it would work. But I had clarity of desire—and that was enough to begin. The way was shown… Along with obstacles. Many of them. That's always how it works. Obstacles are not signs you're off track. They are part of the process. Desire and Sales Frequency What does DESIRE have to do with SALES SUCCESS? Here's the key sales translation: Hesitation does not exist at the same frequency as certainty. It's this certainty (or burning desire) that we will need. When desire is weak: You hesitate You soften your language You sell with need instead of intention When desire is strong: Clarity replaces doubt Energy becomes steady Certainty becomes transferable to those you are speaking to Ask yourself honestly: Do I have the same burning desire in my sales goals that Edison saw in Barnes' eyes? Because others can feel it—just as easily as they can feel when it's missing. Desire radiates. Hesitation leaks. And buyers will respond accordingly. Burning the Ships Hill offers one of the most powerful principles in the book in this chapter on Desire: “Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat.”(Chapter II, p. 21, TAGR) Barnes did this when he traveled to New Jersey to meet Edison. I did this when I left Toronto for the United States in 2001. There was no “going back if it didn't work.” Burning the ships forces alignment. And this connects directly to a later chapter: Decision. The Latin root of the word decision means “to cut.” When you decide, you cut off retreat. You look at your sales goal and see no acceptable outcome other than its achievement. That level of commitment changes how you show up every single day. The Six Steps to Achieve Any Goal (Chapter II) Next in this Chapter, Napoleon Hill outlines six steps designed to impress desire directly into the subconscious mind. Though written about money, (in the book) these steps apply to any goal, including sales. These are the steps I personally keep visible—and that leaders like American Businessman Grant Cardone practice daily. The Six Steps Write a clear description of what you want. You must know exactly where you're going. What is your sales goal? Decide what you're willing to give in return. There is no such thing as something for nothing. You will give up something of lower value to gain something greater. (I never understood this until I watched others with their achievements. Sometimes it's giving up time, or watching Netflix, or something like that. You give up something of a lower nature, to receive what it is that you want). Set a definite date. Desire without a timeline remains a wish. Create a clear action plan. Begin immediately—ready or not. Write the plan out in detail. Clarity strengthens commitment. Read it twice a day. As you read, see, feel, and believe yourself already in possession of the goal. (Chapter II, p. 23, TAGR) This sounds simple—but not easy. Most people won't do it consistently. That's why most people won't get these extraordinary results. Listener Takeaway Vague goals create vague results. Sales success begins the moment desire becomes: clear emotionally charged and non-negotiable Final Thought — Chapter II: Desire Desire is not motivation. It is not excitement. It is not ambition. Desire is commitment before evidence appears. When your desire is strong enough: hesitation disappears clarity sharpens certainty becomes visible And when certainty is visible, others respond to it. Sales does not reward the most talented. It rewards the most committed. Everything that follows in Think and Grow Rich rests on this foundation. If desire is weak, nothing else works. If desire is strong, the rest becomes possible. Chapter III: Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Core Idea: Faith is belief made visible through certainty. Sales Application: Why buyers borrow certainty from the salesperson Confidence vs arrogance How belief softens objections Listener Takeaway: Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you. REVIEW OF CHAPTER III: FAITH How Do We Develop Faith? Napoleon Hill defines faith clearly and practically: “Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmations or repeated instructions, through the principle of autosuggestion.” (Chapter III, p. 46, TAGR) Faith is not something you wait for. It is something you train. We develop faith by following the six steps outlined in Chapter 2 of Think and Grow Rich: writing our goals and reading them aloud every day—twice a day—until the idea moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind through autosuggestion. This is a process. If you have never read your goals out loud before, it may feel uncomfortable at first. When I started, I remember closing my office window, worried my neighbors might think I was crazy. In the beginning, the words can feel awkward and forced. But with repetition, something changes. Your words begin to flow more easily. Your tone becomes confident. And eventually, what once felt unnatural starts to feel true. Our goals begin living with and through us. Hill instructs us to read our goals: “As if you were already in possession of them.” (Chapter III, p. 48, TAGR) A simple way to do this is to begin with the statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then state your goal clearly—whether it's a sales target or any other objective you are working toward. Faith, Autosuggestion, and Something Bigger This is often the point where people bring their own beliefs into the process. If you believe—as I do—that there is something greater than yourself at work in the world, you will feel it here. Hill called it Infinite Intelligence. Others may call it God, Spirit, or Universal Intelligence. Hill wrote: “Faith is the element, the ‘chemical' which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.” (Chapter III, p. 49, TAGR) Regardless of what you call it, the experience is the same: faith grows when belief is repeatedly impressed upon the mind. And this is critical: We must have faith in our dreams, not in our doubts. Faith Applied to Sales In sales, faith shows up as certainty. Buyers do not buy certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. This is where many people get confused. Faith is not arrogance. Arrogance is loud and brittle. Faith is calm, grounded, and steady. When you believe in: yourself the value you bring and the outcome you're guiding someone toward your certainty becomes transferable. And when certainty is present, objections soften. Not because you argue them away—but because belief replaces resistance. How Faith Becomes Unwavering To build unwavering faith, Hill's principles point us to three realities: You must move through the Terror Barrier of Fear. Faith grows when your conscious and non-conscious minds begin to align. Fear appears first—but it does not get the final word. Faith strengthens through repetition. Writing and repeating your goals daily through autosuggestion gradually reshapes belief. Faith grows fastest when focused on one clear idea. Pick one goal. Take action toward it. Each step builds self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem. Over time, belief takes hold. One day, you'll look back at the early version of yourself—the one who hesitated, doubted, or felt unsure—and you'll realize how far you've come. I talk about this idea often. It's like adding red food color drops into a cup of water. In the beginning, it's hard to see any change in the color of the water. But over time, with persistent action, the glass of water eventually changes color. And you'll look back and be grateful you moved forward past fear. Listener Takeaway Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you. Final Thought — Chapter III: Faith Faith is not pretending. It is not positive thinking. And it is not blind optimism. Faith is certainty trained through repetition. When belief becomes strong enough, it changes how you speak, how you act, and how others respond to you. Sales closed do not happen at the end of the conversation. They happen the moment certainty is felt. And certainty begins inside you. REVIEW OF CHAPTERS I–III The Foundation of Sales Mastery To review and conclude this special review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of a salesperson, we covered the first three chapters of Think and Grow Rich that form a complete inner foundation. Together, they explain why sales success begins long before tactics, scripts, or strategies ever matter. Before there is action, there is belief. Before belief, there is desire. And before desire, there is thought. Napoleon Hill does not begin this book with techniques. He begins with identity and inner alignment. For sales professionals, these chapters explain why results are not random—and why performance is always an inside-out process. Chapter I — The Power of Thought Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Chapter I introduces the central premise: Thought is creative. Through the story of Edwin C. Barnes, Hill shows us that success begins when a person decides what they want and holds that thought with unwavering persistence—long before evidence appears. Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He decided it would happen. Despite having no money, no relationship, and no visible path, Barnes carried himself with such certainty that Edison felt it immediately. Edison did not respond to Barnes' circumstances—he responded to Barnes' state of mind. Sales Application: Sales performance reflects what you expect, not what you wish for. Your internal dialogue: sets your confidence level shapes your tone determines whether you lead or hesitate You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe is possible. Chapter II — Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results If thought sets direction, desire supplies the fuel. In Chapter II, Hill makes a critical distinction: Desire is not hope. It is not wishing. It is not motivation. True desire is emotionally charged, specific, and definite. Barnes' desire to work with Edison was not casual or negotiable. It was what Hill called a burning desire—so strong that Barnes was willing to stake his future on it. Sales Application: Desire determines behavior. When desire is vague: goals feel optional hesitation increases selling comes from need When desire is clear and emotionally anchored: confidence sharpens clarity replaces doubt certainty becomes visible Vague goals create vague results. Sales success accelerates the moment desire becomes non-negotiable. Chapter III — Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Chapter III explains how desire becomes believable: through faith. Hill defines faith not as blind belief, but as a trainable state of mind, developed through repetition and autosuggestion. Faith is belief made visible through certainty. By writing goals clearly and reading them aloud daily—as if already achieved—belief moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind. Over time, certainty replaces doubt. Sales Application: Buyers do not borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. Faith shows up in sales as: calm confidence (not arrogance) steady tone authority without pressure When faith is present, objections soften—not because they're argued away, but because certainty dissolves resistance. How Chapters I–III Work Together These chapters are not separate ideas. They form a sequence: Thought sets direction Desire creates commitment Faith produces certainty Without thought, there is no aim. Without desire, there is no momentum. Without faith, there is no follow-through. Sales mastery begins here—not with what you say, but with who you are being when you say it. Final Integrated Insight (Chapters I–III) Sales does not reward effort alone. It rewards clarity, commitment, and certainty. When: your thoughts are aligned your desire is definite and your faith is trained your results begin to change—often before your strategy does. Because at the highest level, sales is not a transaction. It is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty. With gratitude to close out our review of Chapters 1-3 of Think and Grow Rich dedicated to the salesperson, we bring our credit to Paul Martinelli, who has helped me to understand not only the entire book, for our first review, but to now take this book, and apply it for success in the sales industry. I hope you have enjoyed this angle of this timeless book, and we will see you in a few days for PART 2 of this review, where we will cover the next 3 chapters of Think and Grow Rich. See you soon!

We start with the breaking news that defensive line coach Deion Barnes, a PSU alum and rising star in coaching circles, is bolting for South Carolina to join Shane Beamer's staff as their new DL coach and co-defensive coordinator. Barnes, who played a key role in developing beasts like Chop Robinson and Adisa Isaac, leaves a void after just a few seasons in Happy Valley. Recruiting is heating up under Campbell! After a rocky start with decommits following the coaching change, PSU has clawed back to nine verbal commitments in the 2026 class. Can Penn State get to 15 commits? Penn State takes on Clemson, Saturday, December 27th in Yankee Stadium. A matchup everyone at the beginning of the season thought could be for a National Championship, is now set for a meaningless bowl game. How will the team prepare? Coach Terry Smith leads the team one more time as interim head coach. If you're amped for the bowl and the Campbell rebuild, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and ring the bell for instant updates!

César Hidalgo has spent years trying to answer a deceptively simple question: What is knowledge, and why is it so hard to move around?We all have this intuition that knowledge is just... information. Write it down in a book, upload it to GitHub, train an AI on it—done. But César argues that's completely wrong. Knowledge isn't a thing you can copy and paste. It's more like a living organism that needs the right environment, the right people, and constant exercise to survive.Guest: César Hidalgo, Director of the Center for Collective Learning1. Knowledge Follows Laws (Like Physics)2. You Can't Download Expertise3. Why Big Companies Fail to Adapt4. The "Infinite Alphabet" of EconomiesIf you think AI can just "copy" human knowledge, or that development is just about throwing money at poor countries, or that writing things down preserves them forever—this conversation will change your mind.

In this series of 5 podcasts, I'm going through and explaining spiritual or universal laws. There are many lists of spiritual laws and they all overlap to some degree. The list I chose had the fewest laws and therefore the deepest in my opinion, keeping in alignment with simplifying to get closer to the Truth.I'm going over Bashar's 5 fundamental laws of existence that govern reality: (1) You Always Exist (immortality of consciousness), (2) Everything is Here and Now (no real past/future), (3) All is One (oneness of consciousness), (4) What You Put Out Comes Back (reflection of your state), and (5) Everything Changes (except the first four laws, making change constant). ————————————————————You can join the conversation Live every Monday at 6 pm ET on Facebook & YouTube!

In the final message of our Foretold Christmas series, Pastor Robey shares Foretold: Peace on Earth, revealing how Jesus' arrival was never an accident. From the very beginning of Scripture, God left clues pointing to the Messiah—culminating in a star that led the world to Bethlehem. That star wasn't just a sign in the sky; it pointed to Jesus Himself, the true Light born in a manger who would change the course of history forever. This message invites us to see Christmas not as coincidence, but as God's carefully written story of peace, hope, and redemption for the world.

In Part 3 of our Foretold Christmas series, Pastor Robey explores how the story of Christmas has always pointed beyond the manger to the resurrection of Jesus.

Walking through Romans 1 and key prophetic passages, Pastor Robey reveals how the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus are inseparably connected—fueling our faith, giving hope in suffering, and calling us to trust fully in Christ this Christmas.

Josh Pais is an acclaimed Hollywood actor recognized for his dynamic performances alongside icons like Scorsese, Denzel, and Jennifer Aniston. Beyond his storied film career, Josh is the creator of the Committed Impulse method—a revolutionary approach empowering leaders and creatives to overcome fear, access their full presence, and perform at their peak. Drawing on insights from the worlds of acting and neuroscience, Josh helps people break free from mental roadblocks and ignite their aliveness, whether in the boardroom or on stage. He's also the author of Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility, distilling his life's work into practical exercises and guidance for anyone seeking greater authenticity and creative freedom. Takeaways: Transforming Fear into Fuel: Josh believes that nervousness, anxiety, and fear are natural human sensations and advocates for embracing them rather than suppressing them. By feeling these emotions fully, they can become creative or professional fuel rather than obstacles. Presence is Key: Through techniques like his “I'm back” exercise, Josh empowers people to break free from self-critical mental chatter and anchor themselves in the present moment, opening up greater creativity and impact in their work and life. Vulnerability as Power: Rather than viewing vulnerability or emotional intensity as a weakness, Josh asserts that welcoming every sensation—especially during high-stakes moments—creates genuine connection and power. Sound Bytes: “When actors step into the unknown and create in that moment, that's what engages an audience.” “Feel the charge, it's not good or bad—it's just energy. Use it as fuel for whatever you're doing.” “You have to be a little crazy to go into this and, you know, the thing with rejection is feel it like a bee sting, then clear the slate and be open for what's next.” Connect & Discover Josh: Instagram: @joshpais Facebook: @CommittedImpulse X: @JoshPais Website: Committed Impulse

The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.
Welcome to the 3rd Advent/Christmas/Holiday episode this year. It's a read of a children book again, and that book involves a time-traveling boy and his dog. They time travel, through goalposts, to the first organized football match under Football Association rules, in 1863, between Barnes and Richmond. The game was played at Barnes commons, in West London, across the river from Fulham's FCs stadium, the Craven Cottage. And the boy and his dog (Kane is his name, no relation to Harry) mess up football history while there. Or, almost.The book is by Adrian Lobley, and I don't want to give away the whole thing here - I'll read up to chapter 10. Plus: some of the best Christmas-themed stadium chants.

Peachtree Corners is changing fast—and a lot of the biggest conversations residents are having right now come down to the basics: traffic, infrastructure, and safety. In this episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with City Councilman Eric Christ—fresh off another term—to break down what's happening, why it's happening, and what it means for day-to-day life in the city.From the new “jug handle” traffic pattern at Holcomb Bridge Road and Spalding Drive to major planning around bridge replacement on East Jones Bridge, Eric pulls back the curtain on how decisions get made across city, county, and state responsibilities. The conversation expands into what's next for Technology Parkway, redevelopment at The Forum, the city's deer population report, and how Peachtree Corners is thinking about practical public safety improvements without turning it into a political shouting match.Resources:City of Peachtree Corners website: https://www.peachtreecornersga.govEric Christ contact page: https://www.peachtreecornersga.gov/directory.aspx?EID=32Eric Christ campaign site: https://www.votechrist.orgKey takeawaysHolcomb Bridge/Spalding changes are GDOT-driven (State Route 140) and designed to improve north-south throughput; left turns from Spalding are rerouted via Weatherburn Way and River Exchange.Expect a learning curve: signage improvements + GPS/map updates should reduce “habit” left turns over time.East Jones Bridge vehicle bridge replacement (early 2026 target): a 9–12 month project with an expected full road closure for ~4 months during the bridge swap, creating major detours.Pedestrian infrastructure gets folded in: the plan includes sidewalks on both sides; a newer pedestrian bridge may be relocated into the trail system; the new bridge is expected to sit higher for flood standards.Technology Parkway AV lanes are likely being rethought for a real-world test environment: AVs are faster now, and companies prefer mixed traffic; plan includes restriping, removing the “armadillos,” and adding shared-lane bike markings + a small trailhead parking area.The Forum redevelopment is a multi-year, phased evolution: Barnes & Noble moving (into the former Old Navy space), a parking deck shifting toward the Peachtree Parkway side, and residential/hotel components discussed as later phases (more like 2027–2028 timing).Deer population is a real scale issue: estimate shared in the conversation is 2,700+ deer (~193 per square mile vs ~25 in a natural setting); next step involves USDA Wildlife Services planning.Public safety discussion is framed as “service levels”: exploring options like a precinct presence, staffing visibility, and contract improvements—while acknowledging the long-term county policing framework.Timestamp:00:00 – Welcome and introduction of Eric Christ02:00 – Holcomb Bridge Road traffic changes explained12:00 – East Jones Bridge replacement plans23:00 – Autonomous vehicle lanes and Curiosity Lab updates34:00 – The Forum redevelopment and future timeline44:00 – Deer population study and wildlife management49:00 – Public safety, policing, and community concerns01:12:00 – Final thoughts and how to contact Eric Christ

The Power of Your Circle: As you evolve, so should your circle—the people around you can either lift you higher or hold you back, making it crucial to surround yourself with those who genuinely support your vision. Vulnerability is Strength: Both Isaac and Mick Hunt stress that celebrating wins and being open about struggles—especially as Black men—isn't weakness but a vital part of well-being and success. Sound Bites: “The grind don't stop—it just changes. You never truly stop working, you just shift what you're hustling for.” — Isaac Keys “Sometimes adjusting isn't enough. There are moments in life when you need to just change, because life is adjusting with you.” — Mick Hunt “When you try to let go of your past, some people want to hold on because your past benefits them—those are the people you can't be around.” — Isaac Keys Connect & Discover Isaac: Instagram: @isaackeys LinkedIn: @isaac-keys X: @isaackeys Facebook: @isaackeys Website: IsaacKeys.com Book: The Grind Don't Stop

In this deeply moving episode, host Bret Bradigan sits down with Debbie Lennon, author of Where's Tommy?: A Mother's Journey Through Her Son's Traumatic Brain Injury, a heart-wrenching, candid, and often surprising memoir about a family's decades-long struggle to find answers and justice for their son. Debbie is joined by her husband Tom and daughter-in-law Amber Lennon to share the story of their son Tommy — once a bright, charming, artistic teen, tragically changed by an undiagnosed traumatic brain injury sustained at age 16. After the accident, Tommy's life veered into homelessness, drug addiction, repeated incarceration, and serious mental-health challenges, exposing the Lennons to the stark realities and failings of the criminal justice and behavioral health systems.Despite the heartbreak, Debbie's narrative is infused with wit, humanity and hard-earned insight. Together with Tom and Amber, she reflects on nearly 40 years of advocacy, the search for answers, and what it takes to love someone who struggles against invisible wounds. Their discussion reveals not just the personal toll of brain injury but also systemic gaps in recognition, treatment, and support for survivors and families alike. Where's Tommy? is ultimately a testament to resilience, family devotion, and the fight for understanding in a world that too often overlooks those most in need.

Amina Altai is an acclaimed coach, healer, best-selling author, and purpose whisperer who has transformed burnout into brilliance and career chaos into conscious clarity. With clients ranging from executives at Google and Deloitte to leaders across industries, she's redefining what success looks like for mission-driven individuals. Amina's work centers on the intersection of body, mind, and career, and her latest book, The Ambition Trap, dives deep into healing our relationship with ambition and fostering purposeful success. Passionate about justice, equity, and helping others live into the fullness of their experience, she's a powerful advocate for breaking systemic barriers and nurturing authentic careers. Takeaways: Purposeful vs. Painful Ambition: Ambition isn't inherently bad—Amina distinguishes between painful ambition, driven by our core wounds, and purposeful ambition, which is rooted in our truth and wholeness. Interconnection of Body, Mind, and Career: True success isn't just career achievements—it's about aligning your work, values, and well-being, allowing space for cycles of growth and restoration. Zone of Genius is for Everyone: Every person has a zone of genius. When organizations and individuals tap into these innate strengths rather than focusing on relentless urgency, both burnout decreases and performance soars. Sound Bites: "Ambition is just a desire for growth or a wish for more life—and that's inherent in every living thing on the planet, from our human babies to our plant babies." “There are times in our lives where we need new roots. So it feels like a burning down, but it's actually a rebuilding.” “Success should include your body being well…that should be each of our birthrights.” Connect & Discover Amina: Website: aminaaltai.com Instagram: @aminaaltai LinkedIn: @aminaaltai Podcast: Amina Change Your Life TikTok: @theaminaaltai Book: The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living
