Today, I'm finally diving into a topic I've wanted to share with you for ages: MONEY.  If you've cut back or said goodbye to alcohol, you're already sitting on a gold mine. The average drinker spends $3,000 to $8,000 a year on alcohol alone – and now is the perfect time to leverage that raise and make your money work smarter. In this episode, I'm sharing the foundations of financial literacy for alcohol-free women – the habits, mindsets, and investing principles that can create lasting wealth. We're talking about investing, emergency funds, high-yield savings accounts, retirement, all of it.  I'll also take you behind the scenes of my own money journey. Obviously I am not a financial advisor, but there are principles that I live by that have made my life SO much easier. When you remove alcohol, you gain energy, peace, and the power to build a legacy. If you're looking to start your own purpose-driven income stream, coaching is one of the most scalable business models out there. Enrollment is open for the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program.    IN THIS EPISODE: How ditching alcohol instantly gifts you $3,000–$8,000 a year (plus all the sneaky extra costs you're no longer burning away with every happy hour) Why even small, consistent investments made TODAY can snowball into 7-figures (and the massive wealth gap you create by starting now vs. putting it off) The investing gender gap, demystifying the stock market, and the one simple index fund strategy endorsed by history's most legendary investors The truth about hoarding cash, beating inflation, and why high-yield savings accounts are the modern woman's must-have Why investing in yourself yields the highest ROI and is the secret weapon of 88% of self-made millionaires   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED In this book I mention Die With Zero: Getting All You Can From Your Money And Your Life by Bill Perkins and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, whose research I dive into in Episode 266.  If you know you're meant to help other people change their relationship with alcohol and achieve deep healing (along with their bigger dreams), apply for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program – and get 5x certified as a world class alcohol-free empowerment coach, mindset coach, success coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner.

Many of us, myself included, focus a lot of attention on the gap between where we are and where we want to be.  And while this makes sense, it's important for us to balance our focus a bit more on where we've come from and what we've accomplished to get where we are.  On this episode, I talk about this dynamic of the “gap and the gain.”  I discuss why we tend to be much more obsessed with our gap and much less aware of our gain.  I then share some specific things we can do to balance this out in a healthy and effective way.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky The Gap and the Gain (book), by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Do you feel alone navigating the entrepreneurial journey, even in a room full of peers? This episode uncovers the power of a shared language, showing how entrepreneurs elevate their growth, tackle obstacles, and celebrate wins together. Discover how Strategic Coach's thinking tools turn isolation into collaboration, making progress possible for everyone—no matter their industry or experience. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How Strategic Coach® stands apart from other coaching companies.How thinking tools create a shared language for entrepreneurs.A simple approach for entrepreneurs to clarify their ideal role.The story of Dan building an entrepreneurial community in 1982.Why entrepreneurs tend to experience more isolation than others. Show Notes: Entrepreneurs often don't have words for their experience, and Strategic Coach provides them. A shared language empowers entrepreneurs to interpret and elevate their experiences within a supportive community. At most entrepreneurial coaching companies, every client knows that everyone else in the room is a competitor, and it makes for a toxic learning environment. Most business coaching programs actually make entrepreneurs feel more isolated, lonely, and anxious. Strategic Coach builds environments where each entrepreneur is seen as a resource rather than a rival. Strategic Coach's 250 thinking tools create a common language and provide practical frameworks for collaboration, growth, and clarity. Strategic Coach members are all making progress within the same framework. Common language shortcuts, like The 4 C's Formula®, accelerate mutual understanding and meaningful conversation. In creating his thinking tools, Dan Sullivan intentionally avoids jargon so that communication is clear, practical, and relevant to real experience. There are elements common to every entrepreneur's experience, no matter what industry they're in. Resources: Your Life As A Strategy Circle by Dan Sullivan Unique Ability® How To Harness The Power Of Negative Thinking The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Alex Raymond, founder of Amplify and creator of the Conscious Entrepreneur Summit, returns to share what's happened since he set a bold goal on stage: turning Amplify into a $3M business in two years. Inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy's “10x Is Easier Than 2x” and “The Science of Scaling,” Alex explains how “pathways thinking” has shifted his focus from incremental tasks to operating as if the goal is already achieved.   One of the biggest shifts? Writing his first book, “The Growth Department.” Alex opens up about the discipline, support, and courage it takes to codify his ideas into something meaningful, rather than just another business book. He also shares how building a mastermind after the summit has created accountability, momentum, and a community committed to thinking bigger together.   This conversation raises questions every founder faces: Are you running your business from a place of scarcity or scale? What would change if you truly operated from your goal, not just toward it?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Big Goals 01:25 Pathways Thinking and 10X Growth 02:40 Writing The Growth Department 04:27 Book Timeline and Value Creation 09:58 Delegation and Building Scalable Structures 12:56 Mastermind Group and Accountability 14:53 Using AI as a Thinking Partner 16:28 Community, Momentum, and Entrepreneur Wellbeing 20:50 Lessons from Podcasting and Entrepreneurship   Connect with Alex Raymond: Visit AMplify Connect with Alex on LinkedIn   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

In this podcast episode, Kurt Francom and Dan Duckworth discuss the importance of addressing community tragedies within Latter-day Saint congregations. They explore how leaders can create spaces for healing and connection during difficult times, emphasizing the role of vulnerability and unity in fostering a supportive church environment. Dan Duckworth speaks, teaches, and writes on leadership, power, and systemic change. His forthcoming book, The Leader in Chains (spring 2026), challenges conventional ideas and calls for a radical rethinking of leadership—and how it is developed. Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Overview Perception of Community Needs: Leaders should be attuned to the emotional climate of their congregations, recognizing when community tragedies impact members. This awareness can guide appropriate responses. Risk of Vulnerability: Addressing difficult topics in church settings can feel risky, but it is essential for fostering genuine connections and healing. Leaders should embrace this risk to create a supportive environment. Purpose of Church: The church serves not only as a place for learning doctrine but also as a community for healing and support. Engaging in open discussions about current events can strengthen faith and unity. Creating Safe Spaces: Leaders can facilitate discussions that allow members to express their feelings and experiences, promoting emotional processing and community bonding. Driving the Hope Train: Leaders should focus on instilling hope and directing conversations toward Christ's teachings, using scriptural stories to provide comfort and guidance during challenging times. Leadership Applications Fostering Open Dialogue: Leaders can initiate conversations about current events or tragedies, encouraging members to share their feelings and experiences. This can be done through structured discussions or informal check-ins. Building Trust and Safety: By consistently creating a culture of vulnerability and support, leaders can ensure that members feel safe to express their emotions and seek help when needed. Integrating Healing into Meetings: Leaders can incorporate discussions of community challenges into regular meetings, ensuring that spiritual teachings are connected to real-life experiences, thus reinforcing the church's role as a healing community.

What if your goals are too small—and your timelines too long?   In this deep-dive conversation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy (author of "The Science of Scaling" and "10x Is Easier Than 2x") challenges Ryan to rethink what it really means to scale.

As a TriDot Triathlon Coach, I've seen firsthand how predictive analytics can transform training outcomes. Today, we'll break down the development, race-specific, and taper phases of training, explore the importance of strength and mobility, and give you actionable tips for race rehearsals, race week workouts, and pacing strategies across different race distances. Let's get into it!” Training Phases with RunDot Development Phase (April) “This is where the foundation is built. The development phase focuses on aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and overall durability. RunDot uses your biometric and performance data to personalize your training load—so you're not just following a generic plan, you're following your plan. Expect to see: Zone 2 endurance runs to build aerobic efficiency. Hill repeats and strides to improve strength and form. Aerobic intervals that challenge your cardiovascular system without overloading it. This phase is also where strength and mobility work are critical. Think squats, lunges, planks, and dynamic mobility drills. These movements help prevent injury and improve your running economy.” Race-Specific Phase (Lauren) “Now we shift gears. The race-specific phase is all about sharpening your race pace and simulating race conditions. RunDot adjusts your workouts based on your predicted race performance, so you're training at the right intensity. Key workouts include: Tempo runs to dial in your race pace. Long runs with race pace segments to simulate race fatigue. Intervals that mimic the demands of your target race. This is also the time for race rehearsals. Practice everything—your gear, your nutrition, your hydration strategy. If you're racing trails, get on technical terrain. If it's a road race, practice on similar surfaces and elevation profiles.” Taper Phase (Rich) “The taper phase is where the magic happens. You're reducing volume to shed fatigue while maintaining intensity to stay sharp. RunDot's predictive engine ensures you're not tapering too much or too little. During taper: Keep intensity with short intervals and strides. Reduce volume gradually. Focus on mental preparation—visualize your race, review your pacing strategy, and trust your training.” Strength & Mobility: The Unsung Heroes (Lauren) “Strength and mobility work aren't optional—they're essential. They: Prevent overuse injuries. Improve running efficiency. Enhance power and stride mechanics. RunDot integrates strength sessions based on your recovery status and training load. So if you're feeling fatigued, it'll dial back the intensity. If you're fresh, it'll push you a bit more.” Race Week Workouts & Shakeout Runs (April) “Race week is all about staying loose and confident. Here's a sample structure: Monday–Wednesday: Easy runs with strides, light strength work. Thursday–Friday: Short intervals or race pace efforts—30 to 60 seconds. Saturday: Shakeout run—15 to 20 minutes easy with a few strides. Sunday: Race day! Shakeout runs help reduce anxiety, loosen up your muscles, and reinforce your rhythm and cadence.” Race Pacing Tips by Distance 5K - Rich Go out strong but controlled. Settle into pace by the first mile. Finish with a kick. Use strides and short intervals in taper week to stay sharp. 10K - Lauren Controlled first half, push the second half. Practice pacing in race-specific workouts. Don't go out too fast—let your fitness shine in the back half. Half Marathon - April Aim for even pacing or a slight negative split. Long runs with race pace segments are key. Fuel early and consistently. Full Marathon - Rich Start conservatively—don't chase pace early. Stay steady through the middle miles. Prepare mentally for the final 10K. Practice fueling during long runs to avoid bonking. Trail vs Road Racing - Lauren Trail: Focus on effort over pace. Practice technical terrain and elevation changes. Road: Dial in cadence and pacing. Use flat intervals to simulate race conditions. Closing Thoughts - Rich “RunDot by Predictive Fitness is a game-changer. It takes the guesswork out of training and helps you peak at the right time. Whether you're chasing a PR or finishing your first race, trust the process, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey. Get Gritty Tip: What's Your Success Criteria?  One of the biggest mindset traps athletes (and high achievers in general) fall into is measuring success by what hasn't been accomplished yet—what Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy call living in “the gap.” The way out is creating a Success Criteria List, which shifts your focus from what's missing to what's meaningful. Here's the challenge: Write down three to five criteria that define success for YOU—right now, in this season. Make them simple, tangible, and personal. For example: I'm successful when I show up consistently for my workouts. I'm successful when I recover well and prioritize sleep. I'm successful when I enjoy at least one workout each week with friends or teammates. Notice how none of these depend on a finish time or podium. Instead, they anchor you in daily wins that compound over time. When you measure against your own list, you gain confidence, resilience, and perspective—no matter what the scoreboard says. Action Item: Take five minutes today to craft your own Success Criteria List. Post it where you'll see it daily—on your fridge, in your training log, or on your phone. Each time you check off a criteria, you're stacking wins. Over time, this list becomes your proof that you're already making progress—and that you're firmly in “the gain.” TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride Speaking of putting in the work, April, this week's featured workout is the Long Ride, or Stamina Ride. This workout goes out to Caroline and Stephanie who are getting ready to do the Boulder Century on September 7th. We're rooting for you. I also did my own version of this on Monday, and drove out to Canon City, Colorado and road some incredible trails including the aptly named Shiv, Redemption. And the Great Escape trails. It was as great as a mental challenge as it was physical, which is why the Stamina Ride is so important. You'll start with a warmup: 10 minutes in Zone 2 with 3 x 30-second spinups and 3 x 1-minute efforts in Zone 4. Then the main set—3 x 12 minutes at Zone 4 with 5 minutes recovery, 1 x 10 minutes at Zone 2, and 10 x 10 minutes at Zone 3 with 2 minutes recovery. Keep all recoveries and balance of time in Zone 2. Here's the key—when you're in those longer stamina sessions, stay in your race position as if you're racing. Sit up to stretch if you need, then get back down and dial in. Keep your cadence steady: Zone 2 and 3 efforts at 90+ rpm, Zone 4 efforts at 80 rpm. And remember—aim to make the last repeat as strong as the first. What do you think about the Stamina ride, Rich? Anything else to add? What I really love about this stamina ride is how it mimics the demands of long-course racing. Those multiple 10-minute Zone 3 pushes let you sit right on that edge—where it's uncomfortable, but still sustainable—just like in a 70.3, full IRONMAN, or Century Ride. You're teaching your body and mind how to hold strong at race effort, manage the discomfort, and then back off just enough to go the distance. This one showed up for me last week, and I also have a century ride this weekend.  It's the perfect prep to build the resilience you need for long days in the saddle. Now, workouts like the Stamina Ride teach us grit, focus, and the ability to stay locked in for the long haul. But triathlon isn't just about the grind—it's also about enjoying the ride, laughing a little, and not taking ourselves too seriously. That's why we've got a fun segment lined up next!    Fun Segment: Not My Job!

Matt Miles is a Political Science professor at Brigham Young University–Idaho and a co-host of This Week in Mormons and the Latter-day Lens podcasts. Links Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Religious Identity in US Politics The Latter-day Lens podcast This Week in Mormons Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights This discussion centers on a research-backed framework for measuring religiosity, moving beyond traditional metrics to focus on the transformative effects of faith on an individual's life. Beyond the Three B's: Traditionally, religiosity has been measured by "the three B's": Behavior (what a person does), Belonging (their social connections), and Belief (their convictions). Matt Miles argues that these are insufficient measures of genuine faith. The Fourth B: Becoming: A more accurate measure is "religious becoming"—the extent to which a person has been transformed by their faith. This concept suggests that true religiosity is not just about actions but about internal change. Four Aspects of Transformation: Based on his research, Miles identified four universal traits that indicate "religious becoming": Transcendence (a connection to the divine), Humanity (love for others), Justice (a belief in fairness), and Temperance (humility). Faith and Political Tolerance: The research shows that individuals with higher scores in "religious becoming" are more politically tolerant. They are less likely to view those with opposing political views as a threat, in contrast to those whose faith is measured only by the "three B's." Challenges of Genuine Change: The episode highlights the difficulty for leaders and parents in discerning whether someone has truly been transformed by the gospel or is simply going through the motions. Leadership Applications Leaders should focus on teaching a "holistic gospel" that emphasizes the principles of "becoming," rather than just providing a checklist of behaviors. This encourages genuine internal change over external compliance. The discussion suggests that the Church is effective at teaching "transcendence" (connection to God) but could improve at teaching "humanity" (love for others) and "temperance" (humility). Leaders can apply this insight by creating more opportunities for members to serve others and develop empathy. The research on political tolerance can help leaders foster more charitable and understanding discussions within their wards and stakes, particularly on sensitive topics.

If you're an entrepreneur, you've taken complete responsibility for your financial welfare, choosing to make a living based on what makes you unique. When entrepreneurs get frustrated and start focusing on what isn't working, it means they've strayed from their uniqueness. In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explain how to recognize when this is happening and how to get back to finding business success doing what you love and are great at. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:The specific type of economic role every entrepreneur is uniquely designed to fill.The single root cause behind every problem an entrepreneur experiences.Why entrepreneurs get frustrated without knowing why.How to become hypersensitive to anything that will throw you off track. Show Notes: Your Unique Ability® is the innate talent you've been honing since birth, characterized by high energy and exceptional results. When children play, it's a way for them to discover what they're great at and love doing. Entrepreneurs create value for other people by doing what they're very good at and find easy to do. Most people don't bet their futures on the abilities that make them unique. Frustrated entrepreneurs become preoccupied with what doesn't work. The most effective way to solve problems is to strengthen what works, not to dwell on the problems themselves. Strategic Coach® helps you become an objective observer of your own performance. You're the only person you have a total lifetime responsibility for. Once you've figured yourself out, you can focus on being in great teamwork and collaboration with others. Powerful external collaborations are simply the linkage of unique capabilities between organizations to create new market value. Your role as an entrepreneur is to use what works for you to solve a "not-working" problem for someone else. Every transaction in the marketplace is ultimately about freeing someone else up to do more of what works for them. Resources: Unique Ability® The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Most law firm owners think scaling means working harder, hiring more people, or pushing through the chaos—but why does growth still feel unsustainable? They're pouring energy into complex systems, tolerating mediocrity, and wondering why progress is so slow. The truth is, they're making the same three fundamental mistakes that quietly sabotage their ability to scale.   In this second part of the series, based on The Science of Scaling by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Melissa breaks down exactly what those mistakes are and how they show up in your firm. From avoiding goal setting altogether to pursuing conflicting priorities, these errors keep you stuck in linear growth patterns. She explains the psychology behind why your brain needs clear goals, what happens when you aim too low, and why having multiple competing objectives guarantees you won't scale.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/325   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

When you think about building wealth in medicine, do you picture yourself working at one job until retirement? My guest today, Kristin Burton, proves there's a better way. She began her career like many of us, buried in student loan debt and working long hours. After paying off $161,000 in just 16 months, she realized financial freedom was about more than debt elimination. Kristin shares how she shifted her focus from paying bills to building assets, investing aggressively in her twenties, and eventually creating income streams outside of medicine. We talk about the mindset shifts healthcare professionals must make to get ahead, and Kristin also shares how she helps other PAs, NPs, and PharmDs rethink their financial journey, create sustainable wealth, and avoid burnout in medicine. If you're wondering whether it's possible to thrive in your career, grow your wealth, and still have time for family and passions, this episode is for you! “If you can create a gap between your expenses and income and then create some assets with the gap, it's almost inevitable that you're gonna end up building some wealth.” ~ Kristin Burton In This Episode:- Kristin Burton's journey of paying $161k in student debt- What steps did she take toward becoming a millionaire?- Why your income level doesn't matter in building wealth- What Kristin would do differently and her current beliefs- Biggest client "head trash": PSLF myths and the 4% 401k mindset - How do you help healthcare professionals avoid lifestyle inflation?- Kristin's book recommendations - Redefining wealth: from net worth goals to "what is enough?" - How to find out more and join Kristin's community Book Recommendations Mentioned in the Episode: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: https://a.co/d/3yayzkg 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/hlbLEbG Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/2Ol8RjwThe 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom: https://a.co/d/6SMYeNH Die With Zero by Bill Perkins: https://a.co/d/6ae8TSq Join The Millionaires in Medicine Club!Learn how to clear debt and build wealth as a PA, NP, or PharmD: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/community Connect with Kristin Burton: Website: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-burton-pac `Resources:➡️ Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://limitless-md.mn.co/➡️ Check out my programs - https://vikramraya.com/coaching/➡️ Apply to become a Limitless MD -

Are you ready to scale your law firm strategically? In this episode, Melissa kicks off a short series based on Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book The Science of Scaling. After attending Dr. Hardy's workshop, she was inspired by his fresh take on scaling and his focus on building capacity for the future. Unlike the typical "hype" around scaling, his approach emphasizes intentional, strategic moves that help law firm owners transform their businesses in a sustainable way.   Melissa discusses the real meaning of scaling: increasing results without a proportional increase in effort. She explains why law firm owners often optimize things that shouldn't even exist and the difference between linear growth and strategic scaling. By following Hardy's framework, you'll learn how to make better decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and scale your firm with intention—without unnecessary stress and burnout.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/324   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

Excellence doesn't require obsession—it requires integration. We've all heard the advice: focus on one thing, say no to everything else, single-minded purpose is the path to success. Books like Gary Keller's The One Thing and Greg McKeown's Essentialism make a powerful case for focus. But what happens when that focus becomes obsession? In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate unpacks the dark side of a single-minded pursuit—burnout, isolation, and the crushing disappointment of reaching the “top” only to find it lonely. Drawing on insights from Benjamin Hardy, research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, and real-world examples from Yo-Yo Ma to Venus Williams, Kate makes the case for a different kind of excellence. One rooted in balance, relationships, and impact. You'll learn: Why obsession is not the same as excellence. How even your biggest achievements can feel hollow without integration. The critical role relationships and contribution play in long-term fulfillment. Practical strategies for pursuing excellence without sacrificing everything else. If you've ever felt the pressure to “go all in” on one singular purpose—or if you've achieved success but still feel something's missing—this episode is for you. Tales from The Lane is the podcast for high achievers and successful creatives who want more than just accomplishments—they want a deeply fulfilling life.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 3-Step Framework That Forces Instant Focus August 22, 2025 | Episode 5165 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott breaks down why everyone's obsessed with finding their "why" when they should be focused on getting crystal clear about their "what" first. He dives into Benjamin Hardy's brilliant scaling framework that forces you to eliminate distractions and zero in on what actually matters. This isn't about setting bigger goals—it's about getting so focused that everything else falls away. Scott shares the three elements that'll get you from confused to laser-focused, plus why most people get stuck trying to hang onto comfortable stuff that's holding them back. Featured Story Scott discovered Benjamin Hardy's book "The Science of Scaling" early and immediately saw how the principles apply to everything—not just business growth. He walks through a client example where a simple question about timeline compression ("Could you do it in one year instead of three?") completely shifted the person's thinking. The real magic happens when you realize that only certain actions will get you to big goals, and you have to be willing to give up the comfortable stuff that's keeping you stuck. Important Points Clarity about your "what" is more powerful than endlessly searching for your "why." The bigger and scarier your goal (while still doable), the more excited and focused you'll become. Raising your floor means eliminating everything below your standards, even things you've done forever. Memorable Quotes "If you can't clearly define what you want, what you want to do, where you want to go, all that stuff, you can't do it." "If you want average mundane, you can do just about anything and get it. But if you want something bigger, you got to get focused." "As soon as you start getting something better, you don't care about the old stuff." Scott's Three-Step Approach Set your frame ridiculously high—pick something that scares you a little but feels doable. Compress your timeline dramatically because urgency creates momentum and forces solutions. Raise your floor by eliminating anything that won't directly get you to your big goal.

181. This episode of the Visibility Factor podcast discusses the importance of visibility in professional settings and the critical role of honest feedback in personal and career development. She shares her own journey of overcoming invisibility and emphasizes the need for leaders to provide constructive feedback to their teams. The conversation highlights the consequences of ignoring feedback and the necessity of taking action to foster growth and improvement. Barber encourages listeners to embrace feedback as a tool for change and to become stronger leaders by being transparent and proactive in their communication. Takeaways I wasn't being visible enough. All progress starts by telling the truth. If you're unwilling to hear the truth, you're stagnant. You have a choice too. You're choosing to stay stuck. Be a strong leader and share the feedback with your team. Take the feedback, do something with it. Taking new actions can change how people see you.   The article with the quotes from Dr Benjamin Hardy used in this episode: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7363917416277397504/    Thank you for listening to The Visibility Factor Podcast!    Check out my website to order my book and view the  videos/resources for The Visibility Factor book.   As always, I encourage you to reach out!

Do you strive to stand out or fit in? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller challenge the myth of equality and reveal why entrepreneurs are hardwired to pursue uniqueness. Learn how comparing yourself to others can hold you back, while focusing on being usefully different fuels impact, happiness, and growth in life and business. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Why developing uniqueness demands a fundamentally different mindset.The most effective way to immediately stand out from the crowd.How the pursuit of equality traps people in endless competition.Which path is right for entrepreneurs, and why.The costly mistake of trying to be both unique and equal. Show Notes: You can choose to be unique or equal, but never both. Entrepreneurs succeed by leaning in to their unique skills, not by blending in. The question of whether to be equal to others or to be unique often arises early in life. Focusing on being useful, not simply “fitting in,” sets you apart and attracts opportunities. Being equal and being unique represent fundamentally different psychological and emotional worlds, and your thoughts and mindset will shift depending on which you pursue. Unique individuals are self-referential, while equal-focused people constantly compare themselves to others. Someone who focuses only on uniqueness creates their own games. Anytime you create something new, it disrupts the status quo. Fairness means consistent rules, not identical outcomes for everyone. The best collaborations happen among unique individuals playing by shared rules. Entrepreneurs will only be successful to the degree that their uniqueness is seen as increasingly useful to other people. Resources: The End of Average by Todd Rose Unique Ability® Bill Of Rights Economy by Dan Sullivan The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

If you're trying to scale your real estate business and still asking “How do I do this?”, you're already falling behind. In this episode, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, author of 10X Is Easier Than 2X and The Science of Scaling, explains why success in multifamily hinges on shifting from "how" to "who." Michael and Ben dig into why most investors get stuck on the wrong path, and how committing to a bold vision — even without knowing the entire roadmap — is the real starting point. This episode is a must-listen for six-figure earners stuck in the single-family grind, trying to leap into commercial real estate and financial freedom.Key Takeaways1. Why Your 10-Year Plan Is Holding You BackMost investors set conservative goals based on their current capacity.A 10-year retirement plan with single-family homes isn't just slow — it's likely broken.Reframe your goal: what would it take to become financially free in 12 months?When the timeframe compresses, the current strategy breaks — and that's the point.2. The "Who Not How" Principle for Real Estate ScalingMultifamily investing isn't about doing more — it's about doing different.Instead of figuring out every step, ask “Who already knows how to do this?”The right team — mentors, capital partners, deal finders — collapses the learning curve.Syndication is the ultimate “who not how” structure: it's a team sport.3. The Psychology of Commitment and BeliefYou won't pursue what you don't believe is possible.Small “micro-commitments” — like booking a strategy call or analyzing your first deal — build belief.Commit to the outcome (financial freedom), not the tactic (buying rentals).Reverse-engineering from your end goal leads to radically different decisions.4. Letting Go of the Path That Got You HereYour current strategy won't get you to your next level.If you're clinging to rentals, flips, or even a high-paying job — you're on the wrong path.Letting go feels like quitting — but it's often the gateway to real progress.Ask: “What's the opportunity cost of staying stuck?”5. Dr. Hardy's Framework from The Science of ScalingIdentify your "floor" — the level where you're currently stuck — and why it's limiting.The most successful entrepreneurs redesign their systems, teams, and mindsets to scale.Scaling isn't just a process — it's a mindset of focusing on fewer things, done better.6. Multifamily as the Ideal Vehicle for ScalingSingle-family strategies are too slow, too small, and too dependent on your time.Multifamily offers higher leverage, scalable income, and team-based execution.The joint venture nature of syndication makes scaling practical, even if you're starting out.The ability to raise money or partner with operators creates fast pathways to GP status.Connect with Dr. Benjamin HardyGet your free copy of the Science of Scaling audiobook https://scaling.com/ Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTube

What if everything you believe about success is actually slowing you down? In this conversation with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, we get real about why most people aren't achieving at the level they're capable of—and how to flip that. I told Ben right at the top of the show: our last interview turned heads. The kind of feedback we got—from everyday entrepreneurs all the way up to CEOs of billion-dollar companies—was off the charts. This one picks up where we left off and goes straight into the truth about scaling your business, your mindset, and your life. Dr. Hardy breaks down why the goals you're setting might be too safe—and how that safety is the very thing killing your growth. We talk about setting what he calls “impossible goals” with unreasonable timeframes, not because they're flashy, but because they strip away every single thing that's slowing you down. “False goals create intensity,” he says, and that's where most people get stuck. The real key? Letting the future—not your past—shape your decisions today. I open up about my own realizations. I thought I was a future thinker. Turns out, I was still leaning on the past more than I realized. And if you're scaling anything beyond just yourself, that mindset's got to shift. We get into what it really takes to lead with conviction, how to simplify your systems, and why being radically honest with yourself is the start of all exponential growth. This episode isn't just theory—it's the real talk you need if you're tired of playing small. If you've been stuck in complexity, distracted by too many paths, or trying to do five things at once, this one's going to hit home. Ben says it best: “We're kept from our goal not by obstacles, but by a clear path to a lesser goal.” That'll preach. Key Takeaways: Why short timeframes eliminate all the false paths The difference between bold goals and truly impossible goals How to stop lying to yourself and simplify your system What it takes to scale beyond yourself—and why most never do How to develop unshakable conviction and operate as a signal in a noisy world Listen now, and get ready to start thinking and executing in a whole new way. — Max Out
