Lyn talks to spiritual teacher and best-selling author Christy Whitman to explore the transformational journey from survival to fulfillment.  Christy shares her personal awakening from depression to spiritual clarity, unpacking how hidden, repetitive negative thoughts dictate our reality. Together, they discuss the dynamics of energy flow, providing listeners with practical, somatic tools such as head-and-neck release and visualisation exercises, to dissolve the cycles of fear, lack, worry and doubt, and ultimately tune into a sustainable energy of gratitude and abundance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Moving out of survival mode requires acknowledging that negative thoughts are not absolute truths, but rather malleable energies that we have the power to stop and transform. Our bodies possess an energetic valve at the base of the head and spine that, when consciously released, can instantly soothe the nervous system and clear stress out of the body. Authentic abundance cannot be faked with disconnected positive affirmations; instead, it is built incrementally by leaning into realistic, better-feeling thoughts that slowly positively shift our self-identity. Cultivating a constant, daily dialogue of gratitude for what is present in the "now" is the most direct pathway to matching the universal energy frequency of a consistant flow state. BEST MOMENTS "You create your own reality... You're either repelling things from you or attracting things to you based on the way you think."  "We're either thinking thoughts of what we want, which feel expansive and life-giving... or we're thinking thoughts of lack or limitation that are constrictive and restrictive."  "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, that's why today is called the present because it's a gift."  "We all think that, 'Oh, when in the future I have this, then I'll feel ...,' and we're projecting and postponing our life force energy out into the future when the only place and only time we can ever feel is in our now."

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Could some of the challenges you experience today have roots before birth? Trauma can be carried through a trauma womb during pregnancy. When a mother experiences ongoing stress, fear, or unresolved trauma, her body communicates these experiences to her developing baby. The trauma womb becomes the baby's first environment, where signals of safety or stress are received. Understanding the impact of a trauma womb can help us better understand ourselves and our healing journey.

Life Advice That Doesn't Suck  aka "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" flips the self-help script. Instead of telling you to think positive and chase happiness, Mark Manson argues that life is full of problems and always will be. The goal isn't to avoid struggle. It's to pick the struggles worth having. What you choose to care about defines who you are.Manson builds his case around a simple idea: you have a limited amount of attention, and most of us waste it on things that don't matter. Social approval, comfort, status. He pushes you to get honest about your values, because bad values produce bad problems. Choose better values, and your problems become more meaningful. It's not a feel-good read. It's a reality check.Support the show

Real Estate Expert & Best-Selling Author, Gerald Lucas discusses the pros & cons of non-conforming mortgages.

Have you ever felt like your head is a browser with 47 tabs open, none of them loading, and you can't figure out why you feel so scattered and behind even when you're working harder than ever? Yeah. This episode is going to hit you right where it counts. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with David Allen, the bestselling author of "Getting Things Done" and the creator of the GTD methodology that has genuinely changed how millions of people think about productivity. With over three million books sold across 30 plus countries, David is one of the most influential voices in personal effectiveness on the planet. He's also a husband, a dog dad, a student of Zen, a former karate black belt, a guy who had 35 jobs before the age of 35, and someone who has been living his best life in Amsterdam for the last 12 years. Oh, and he just turned 80 and still does everything he teaches. That detail alone stopped me in my tracks. What makes this episode matter is that David doesn't talk about productivity as a hustle metric. He talks about it as a path to mental freedom. From the moment he started consulting entrepreneurs and CEOs in the 80s, he noticed one universal pattern: people were trying to use their brains as their office, and it was quietly wrecking them. We talk about why ambient anxiety is the silent epidemic no one's addressing, how the modern world has multiplied the volume of inputs to an almost unbearable level, and why the most productive thing you can do has nothing to do with working harder. Here are a few powerful takeaways from this conversation: Your brain is a terrible office, and it's time to stop treating it like one. David makes it crystal clear that your mind was not built to remember, remind, prioritize, or manage the relationships between more than about four things at once. When you try to hold more than that in your head, you end up driven by whatever is latest and loudest, not by what actually matters. Getting things out of your head and into a trusted system isn't just productivity advice. It's a mental health practice. Ambient anxiety is real, and most of us are addicted to it. This one landed hard for me. David describes ambient anxiety as that low grade hum of stress that comes from unprocessed commitments. It's not the kind of overwhelm that forces action. It's the kind you just learn to live with, until you decide you don't want to anymore. Most people never get a reference point for what it actually feels like to have nothing on your mind except what you want on it. That clarity is available to you, and this episode shows you how to get there. Capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage. In that order, every time. The GTD methodology is five steps, and David walks through each one in a way that finally makes it click. The biggest mistake most people make is skipping the clarify step, collecting tasks without ever deciding what they actually mean or what the next action is. Outcome thinking plus action thinking, together, is the engine of real productivity. Miss either one, and you end up with either a dream that goes nowhere or busyness that produces nothing. Reflection isn't a luxury. It's the step that holds everything together. David recommends a thorough weekly review of all your commitments, not because it's a nice habit, but because without it your system goes stale and your trust in it collapses. When you reflect consistently, you've already done the thinking. In the moment, you just pick and shoot. That's the kind of clear, confident decision making we all want, and it starts with scheduled stillness. The two minute rule is still one of the most underrated productivity moves out there. If something takes less than two minutes, do it now. David told me he has zero backlog of two minute tasks because they're already done. Walk around your house right now and notice how many little things are nagging at you that would take under two minutes to fix. Do them. Your environment will feel completely different, and so will your head. We also get into the six horizons of thinking, how "channel creep" is quietly overwhelming your focus, what David would tell his younger self, his take on procrastinating the things you love most, and the publishing advice he wishes more aspiring authors knew before writing their first word. This episode is a reminder that happy hustling isn't about doing more. It's about being appropriately engaged with everything you've committed to, so you can actually show up fully for the things and people that matter most. If you're ready to clear the mental clutter, trust yourself more, and finally build a system that works with your brain instead of against it, this conversation is for you. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? David kept it perfectly simple, the way only someone who's spent decades thinking about this stuff can. He said it means relax, trust yourself, and have fun. That's it. Do the work, stay curious, and don't take yourself so seriously that you forget to enjoy the ride. Head over to https://caryjack.com/podcastin/ to listen to the full episode.

Lyn sits down with sex counselor Fran Frye to dismantle the common misconceptions surrounding male and female sexual desires. Drawing from her personal journey as a rape survivor turned advocate, Fran offers a profound look into the world of problematic sexual behaviours and the distinct frameworks of spontaneous desire versus responsive desire. KEY TAKEAWAYS Men more frequently experience spontaneous desire (instantly ready out of the blue), while women often experience responsive desire, which requires warmth, curiosity, and lead-up to activate. A vital piece of anatomical education is that vaginal lubrication is a natural physiological preparation for penetration, but it does not automatically mean a woman is psychologically turned on or ready for sex. To combat boredom and explore novelty safely, couples can utilise a "yes, no, maybe" list online or via social media to find creative, mutually comfortable ways to connect/ spice things up. Rather than viewing it as a mere tool for performance, men naturally seek emotional connection through their sexuality; understanding the erotic nervous system is crucial for male emotional regulation and well-being. BEST MOMENTS "We are not dildos. We aren't meant to just be erect and expected to be ready to quote-on-quote perform. There is some lead-up and connection that is required." "Women often find themselves bored in sex faster than men do... I find that it's the sex that they're having is what they're bored with." "A regulated man is safer than any weapon we sell in the name of protection, and I find that sex and regulation is very important to the betterment of men." "Communication is lubrication." ABOUT THE GUEST - Fran Frye – Sex Educator, Counsellor & Clinician Fran Frye focus's on supporting men as they unpack their sexuality within a patriarchal culture that often labels them as dangerous, defective, or emotionally closed off.

Few conversations leave you inspired to think differently about your career, leadership, and personal purpose. My discussion with Paul Comfort did exactly that. Through his own experiences and insights, Paul shared valuable lessons about discovering purpose, building meaningful relationships, and intentionally shaping a fulfilling career path.Paul Comfort is a nationally recognized transportation executive, bestselling author, keynote speaker, educator, and thought leader in public mobility and leadership development.  He is also the creator and host of the widely followed Transit Unplugged podcast and video series.  His upcoming book, Find Your X Factor: Follow Your Personal Treasure Map to Purpose, reflects many of the themes we discussed — discovering the intersection between your passions, abilities, and purpose.Throughout our discussion, several powerful ideas emerged:• How much does your very first job shape the trajectory of your career — even if you ultimately end up somewhere completely different? Paul emphasized that while your starting point may not define your destination, it often establishes the habits, skills, and mindset that influence every opportunity that follows.• What happens when your interests, passions, and natural abilities finally intersect? According to Paul, this intersection is the “sweet spot” of your best self — the place where purpose, fulfillment, and impact align. Finding that intersection is not just a career strategy; it is often the clearest path toward discovering your purpose in life.• What if your current role does not fully align with both your passions and strengths? Paul encouraged the idea that even if you cannot immediately find the perfect combination, having at least one — either meaningful interests or strong abilities — present in your work can provide fulfillment and motivation while you continue building toward something greater.• How do you actually discover who you are and what you want? Paul spoke about the importance of reflection: taking time to evaluate your experiences, recognize what you have consistently been good at, and identify the moments that energized you most. Once that intersection becomes clear, intentional action becomes the bridge between where you are and where you want to go.• Why is follow-up one of the most overlooked keys to successful networking? As Paul explained, meaningful relationships are rarely built in a single meeting. The real value of “I met a man” moments comes from intentional follow-up, continued engagement, and the creation of authentic connections over time.• And what if communication does not come naturally to you? Paul offered practical encouragement: communication is a skill that can be developed. Whether through programs like Dale Carnegie speaking courses or by intentionally studying effective communicators as role models, growth in communication and public speaking can dramatically improve leadership presence and confidence.Our conversation was a reminder that successful careers are rarely accidental. They are built through reflection, intentionality, relationships, continuous learning, and the courage to align your work with who you truly are. Paul Comfort's insights challenge us not simply to pursue careers, but to pursue purpose.  For more information about Paul and his resources, go to https://findyourxfactor.ai/.Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Oracle On Purpose, I am with Tywanah Evette, also known as Thunderbird Rising, a shaman, medium, and high priestess who helps women heal their trauma, find their purpose, and step boldly into their power. Tywanah brings a powerful question to the Oracle about visibility, partnerships, and what is truly next for her business. What comes through is layered and clear. There is a warning about one particular partnership to watch closely, a message about stop dividing who you are, and a gentle but firm pause on one big business move she was ready to launch. The Oracle does not always say yes. Sometimes the most powerful message is not yet. If you have been in that in-between space of knowing something is coming but not feeling sure about the timing, this conversation on the Oracle On Purpose podcast will land exactly where it needs to. P.S.

She works with a select group of high-level women—executives, founders, and emerging leaders—who are navigating increased visibility, influence, and responsibility. Her advisory focuses on stabilizing authority before expansion magnifies inherited patterns that subtly shape leadership, decision-making, and presence. Her work examines what most leadership models overlook: the intergenerational conditioning, subconscious imprints, and unseen dynamics that influence how authority is held, expressed, and sustained. Through more than 4,000 private advisory and transformational sessions, Thunderbird has developed a precise methodology that integrates psychological pattern mapping, lineage-informed inquiry, shamanic healing, and evidential mediumship. The result is leadership that is not performed, but structurally sound—steady under pressure, clear in direction, and fully self-led. Her clients are women whose decisions carry weight—impacting organizations, capital, culture, and legacy. The work is private, intentional, and designed for those who understand that expansion without internal alignment comes at a cost. In addition to her advisory work, she is the creator of The Seven Gates to Goddesshood Sacred Summit Series, has supported over 4,000 women globally, and has been featured on 80+ podcasts and 30+ summits. Her mission is to ensure that as women rise, they do so with authority that is embodied, sovereign, and built to hold what they are being called into.   Connect with Tywanah Evette.

Real Estate Expert & Best-Selling Author, Gerald Lucas reveals 3 things most home insurance policies don't cover.

What if the most important thing you ever built wasn't a business? What if it was a blueprint, one that defines who you are, what you stand for, and how you show up for the people who matter most? That's the question this episode dares you to answer. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing the Guest Guru Training that Rich Christiansen delivered exclusively to our Happy Hustle Club. And let me tell you, this one is too good to keep behind closed doors. Rich is a bestselling author, humanitarian, mentor, man of deep faith, husband, and father. But what sets him apart, what makes him the real deal, is how intentionally he has built his life from the inside out. His five sons each launched million-dollar businesses before the age of 19. Not because Rich handed them anything, but because he built a framework, a living, breathing family legacy system he calls Legato, that shaped them into powerful, centered, contributing men. This episode is one of those rare ones you'll want to come back to. Whether you're a husband, a father, an entrepreneur, or all three, Rich drops wisdom that will genuinely stop you mid-scroll and make you think hard about how you're spending your time, your energy, and your love. The first big takeaway is what Rich calls the 2-Minute Surrender. Most of us are walking around in limbic brain all day, stuck in a primal loop of fight or flight, triggered by every notification, every bad email, every scroll through social media. Rich breaks down a five-step sequence you can run through in under two minutes to snap out of that fog and get back into your frontal cortex, where clear, powerful decisions actually happen. The steps are simple: move your body, take three deep breaths, say a power mantra, ask your higher power for what you need, and visualize a moment or place that brings you genuine joy. That's it. Rich runs through this sequence four or five times a day, especially before big meetings or high-stakes moments, and the research backs him up. Visualization alone has been shown to be nearly as effective as physical practice. Your mind is that powerful. The second takeaway is the Values Blueprint. Rich has spent over 20 years as what he calls "the values guy," and he makes a sharp point most of us miss: we are great at defining values for our companies, we're getting better at it for our families, but very few individuals can clearly articulate their own personal value system. That gap is where the chaos lives. Rich's process walks you through identifying your core values, emotionally anchoring them with mantras and phrases that actually stick, defining what they mean in real concrete terms, and building screening questions to test whether the people in your life are genuinely in alignment with what you stand for. The whole workbook is free on his website, richchristensen.com, and I'd strongly encourage you to grab it. The third takeaway is the circles of relationship, and this one hit me like a truck. Rich breaks down the layers of connection in our lives from blood brothers, the one or two people who'd give you a kidney, to your trust network, your tribe, your community, and your contacts. Here's the part that stings: most of us are pouring our absolute best energy into the outer circle, our social media followers, our casual contacts, the people who don't even know our middle names, while we're giving the leftover, burned out, depleted version of ourselves to the people who love us most. Rich challenges us to flip that completely. Give 60 to 70 percent of your best to your inner circle. The people who'd show up at 3 in the morning. That's where real wealth lives. The fourth takeaway is the Legato rites of passage, and honestly, this part of the conversation is worth the full listen on its own. Rich designed intentional milestones for each of his five sons at ages 8, 12, 14, 16, and 18. At 12, he took each son on a three-week trip that included a deep adventure followed by serving orphaned children in Nepal, connecting them to something much bigger than themselves. At 14, each son climbed a major mountain peak to prove to himself he could do hard, genuinely hard things. At 16, each son shook Rich's hand and declared his independence, committing to never ask for financial support again, then built a business to back it up. The goal wasn't to produce rich kids. The goal was to produce sovereign men. Centered, purposeful, and powerful in their own right. The fifth takeaway is the straight truth about value alignment in business. Rich is clear: smart people who like each other but aren't values-aligned will blow up a company. Full stop. He built teams of 15 that outperformed teams of 50, not because they worked harder but because the speed of trust was so high there were no unnecessary stops, no friction, no second-guessing. Value congruency is your competitive advantage. Screen for it. Build around it. Protect it. Rich also touches on digital unplugging and the danger of technology keeping us locked in limbic brain, something we talk about a lot in the Happy Hustle world. The bottom line is this: your best thinking, your deepest relationships, and your most meaningful decisions don't happen on the screen. They happen when you're present, grounded, and actually in the room with the people who matter. If you want to live a life of real flow, not just hustle for its own sake, you need value alignment at every level: personally, in your relationships, in your business, and in how you spend your time and money. Rich has built that life, and he's generous enough to share the exact blueprint with all of us. Do yourself a favor and listen to the full episode at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/.

Sean pops by the pod to talking about his new graphic novel, "Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo"! A robot boy who's relentlessly upbeat and a grumpy old penguin should not be able to exist in the same story without everything falling apart, yet somehow it works and it's hilarious and heartfelt. Sean unpacks how his middle grade graphic novel 'Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo" went from an idea he first played with years ago to a fully built, wildly visual adventure you can actually hold in your hands.We talk about the real mechanics of the creative process: why “blank page” fear is normal, how smart constraints make writing easier, and how worldbuilding problems can become story solutions. Sean shares the key breakthrough that made the book click, letting his characters come from different worlds, plus why he chose a Jane Austen inspired setting as a mirror for the theme of partnership and teamwork. If you love graphic novels, comics, children's books, or storytelling craft, there's a lot here to steal for your own work.Sean also pulls back the curtain on how you write a graphic novel script, panel-by-panel directions, dialogue, expressions, pacing, and how much trust it takes to collaborate with an illustrator.

For many Americans James Comey remains one of the defining figures of the Trump Era. The former FBI Director fired by Trump and more recently once again drawn into public controversary amid investigations and escalating political attacks. Comey has also become a best-selling crime writer channeling decades inside the justice system into a series of legal thrillers. His latest is 'Red Verdict' which follows Deputy U.S. Attorney Nora Carleton. As she investigates the poisoning deaths of a defense industry executive in Manhattan, a murder that may connect to Russian Intelligence, espionage, and conspiracy reaching deep into American power circles.

Lyn welcomes licensed therapist and somatic trauma specialist Erika Shershun for an illuminating conversation on recovering from sexual trauma.  Drawing from her own 17-year healing journey, Erika demystifies complex concepts like Polyvagal Theory and the body's innate "freeze" response, explaining how trauma physically embeds itself in the nervous system long after the event. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trauma isn't just a mental hurdle; it's a physical state where the nervous system remains stuck in a defensive response like flight, fight, or freeze. The nervous system decides to enter a protective state (like freezing) faster than the conscious brain can think, often as a primal survival mechanism. Purely "talk therapy" often falls short because it ignores the physical patterns of constriction and numbness that trauma leaves in the body. Recovery involves learning to gently shift between nervous system states, moving away from chronic hyper-vigilance and back toward a felt sense of safety. BEST MOMENTS "The realisation came to me about 17 years into therapy. I realised just how much the trauma stays in the body until it's integrated." "Your nervous system has a wisdom. It took you to a freeze state because it knew it was your best chance of survival." "If you only work with the thoughts, the patterns of movement and constriction are still taking place in the body; you're not really integrating the trauma." "Healing is no longer getting triggered by the trauma and having the symptoms clear up that are clearly associated with it." ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn's personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace. She has a proven track record as a Love Solutions - Relationship Expert/ Trainer/ Inspirational Speaker and Best-Selling Author based upon her own vast personal research, experiential learning and training with the world's leading industry experts. Lyn makes a difference by helping you make a difference; she has a vision of contributing back on a global scale.

What if the financial advice you've been following is holding you back? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Garrett Gunderson, Wealth Liberation Expert and Best-Selling Author, who challenges traditional financial advice and explains why entrepreneurs need a fundamentally different approach to money, investing, and growth. He shares how mindset, cash flow strategy, and investing in yourself can create sustainable wealth and true financial independence. Key Takeaways:→ Scarcity thinking leads entrepreneurs to shrink rather than grow. → Traditional financial advice often conflicts with entrepreneurial success. → Financial independence comes from consistent cash flow, not just from assets. → Investing in skills and capabilities often outperforms traditional investments. → Focus drives growth, whereas diversification protects wealth. Garrett Gunderson helps entrepreneurs build wealth with less stress, without sacrifice, and without being suffocated by spreadsheets that look like they were designed by NASA. Known as “Money Jesus,” Garrett uses humor, storytelling, and practical strategy to make money actually make sense. His Amazon Prime comedy special, The American Ream, proves he can turn even the driest financial concepts into something hilarious and unforgettable while still delivering life-changing insight. He's also a rare advisor who helps entrepreneurs save on taxes and keep way more of what they earn without cutting back. Garrett started his first business at 15 and earned the SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He later entered the field of finance. He quickly realized the truth: no one teaches entrepreneurs the wealth strategies that actually work. After navigating the 2000 crash with brutal honesty, he devoted his life to studying what the wealthy really do, which led to his signature Rockefeller Method. Today, he helps entrepreneurs achieve financial freedom without sacrificing the life they're building. Connect With Garret:Website: https://garrettgunderson.com/

Yet, the world of event organization has long been plagued by inefficiencies, high costs, and a lack of diversity. That's where Ashley Wilson comes in with Conference Connect, a groundbreaking platform designed to transform the conference experience for everyone involved. Think of it as LinkedIn for speakers meets Yelp for events.During today's episode of the show, I had the privilege of learning about Ashley's vision for creating a centralized marketplace that connects speakers, event organizers, vendors, and attendees. She explained that the platform addresses two major challenges in the event space.“The audience is just a mirror of who is on stage,” Ashley shared. “If you lack diversity in your speaker lineup, you lack diversity in the audience. And that translates into a lack of opportunities for all.” Her emphasis on building more diverse and inclusive conferences highlights a profound societal need, reflecting her mission to create opportunities for underrepresented groups.Conference Connect includes features such as free profiles for speakers and event organizers, event reviews, and a ticket affiliate program that drives brand awareness and boosts ticket sales. These features aim to address the core problems Ashley herself has encountered over her career. “As a speaker who has traveled across the country, I found there was no resource that gave me confidence in booking an event,” she said.The platform also has big plans on the horizon. Ashley revealed that they're expanding their tools to assist with speaker selection and sponsorship acquisition, ensuring a seamless and efficient organizational process. She noted that Conference Connect is built on the mission of creating more accessibility and fostering community within the event space.The best part? Ashley and her team are taking things a step further by opening the doors for everyday investors to be part of their journey through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. She explained, “We feel raising on Wefunder provides an opportunity to grow and meet the needs that we're receiving daily—even as cliché as it sounds, it'll add gas to the fire.”Ashley's passion and strategic thinking are powering a movement to reshape the event industry. By addressing its inefficiencies and providing a platform to elevate diversity, Conference Connect is well-positioned to make a lasting impact.tl;dr:Ashley Wilson introduced Conference Connect, a platform for speakers, organizers, and attendees to connect.The platform aims to increase inclusivity and diversity on conference stages and among attendees.Ashley also addressed inefficiencies in the event industry, such as the ticketing process and speaker selection.Conference Connect's regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder offers investors an opportunity to support growth.Ashley's leadership stems from her superpower of finding innovative, multidimensional solutions to complex problems.How to Develop Complex Problem Solving As a SuperpowerAshley's unique superpower is the ability to take complex situations and create innovative, multidimensional solutions. “I feel that my superpower is my ability to take complex situations and look at all parts of the situation and come up with creative solutions that incorporate all of the different dimensions,” she explained in today's episode. Her mindset enables her to avoid one-dimensional, siloed approaches, ensuring that her solutions tackle multiple challenges simultaneously. This talent allows her to think holistically and develop impactful, long-term strategies in both business and personal contexts.Ashley shared an insightful example of leveraging her superpower in the context of her real estate firm. Rather than looking for wealthier tenants, her company implemented financial literacy programs for its working-class tenants. These free programs not only helped tenants make better financial decisions but also improved tenant retention and financial stability. By solving the deeper socioeconomic challenge, Ashley demonstrated how addressing root causes creates better outcomes for all involved.Actionable Tips for Developing this Superpower:Surround yourself with people who think differently and challenge your ideas.Hone your communication skills to avoid breakdowns and foster collaboration.Practice active listening to absorb and process complex information.Approach problem-solving with social responsibility in mind.Look for solutions that address interconnected issues rather than isolated symptoms.By following Ashley's example and advice, you can make complex problem solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileAshley Wilson (she/her):Founder, Conference ConnectAbout Conference Connect: ConferenceConnect.com is a digital marketplace and discovery platform designed to connect three main groups in the event industry: organizers, speakers, and attendees.Founded around 2023, the platform positions itself as a ”community-driven“ ecosystem that uses reviews and data to help users find high-quality events and talent.Website: conferenceconnect.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/people/Conference-Connect/61553408373383/Other URL: wefunder.com/conferenceconnectBiographical Information: Ashley Wilson, is the Co-Founder of Conference Connect, Founder and CEO of Bar Down Investments, LLC, Co-Founder of Apartment Addicts & Co-Founder of HouseItLook, LLC, Best Selling Author of The Only Woman in the Room, Knowledge and Inspiration from 20 Women Real Estate Investors, a regular contributor to RENT magazine and has hosted several BiggerPockets multifamily series.

Our longtime friend Mekia Troy, the AD at Georgia's Creekside High School and Best Selling Author of TEACHABLE MOMENTS is back on the podcast with some great observations from a day in her school's dining hall! This is a Toolbox EXTRA on The Educational AD Podcast!

When Dan last spoke to author Soman Chainani, the guy was riding high. His wildly popular "School for Good and Evil" series had just been turned into a movie, and he was perfectly happy to keep churning out fairy tales. But somewhere between then and now, the fairy tales stopped flowing. So instead of playing it safe, Soman wrote Young World,  a far more controversial book that he simply couldn't not write. Soman tells Dan exactly why he felt compelled to go there, and drops some spicy literary takes along the way. “Get 50% Off Monarch, the all-in-one financial tool at www.monarch.com/HAPPENS Learn more about your ad choices.

AFB, Anna, and Phred sit down with bestselling author Martin Dugard to talk about his new book The Long Run: Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter, Joan Benoit, Greta Waitz, and the Decade That Made the Marathon Cool.  The conversation explores the 1970s running boom, the influence of legends like Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and Grete Waitz, and how modern marathon science, shoes, and fueling strategies have transformed the sport—along with a few detours into ultrarunning, trail racing, and the future of endurance events. We also hit on Greece, the Royal Family, and the 1972 Olympics. If you are a runner, this book ties together all of the sport's best stories.  What was it like to work with Bill O'Reilly? Of course this being Cultra, the conversation eventually wanders into trail running and ultras. Are there too many races? Are 200-milers stealing runners from traditional 100s? And how hard is it to actually staff and direct one of these things? This is a great book, and this episode ain't too bad either.

His Sigma Force series has been called one of the “top crowd-pleasers" by the New York Times and one of the “hottest summer reads” by People Magazine. He's written more than 40 books, built entire worlds, and still approaches storytelling with the curiosity of someone just getting started.In this conversation, we explore how curiosity, research, and imagination come together, not all at once, but piece by piece, until something clicks.If you enjoy conversations about creativity, storytelling, and the human side of success, this one's worth your time.In This Episode:How bestselling authors develop story ideasWhy curiosity is the foundation of creativityThe difference between learning to write and becoming a storytellerHow reading improves writing over timeWhat makes “popcorn fiction” so powerfulThis episode is sponsored by:Sterling Oak CabinetryReed Animal HospitalBio:James Rollins is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of international thrillers, translated into more than forty languages. His Sigma series has been lauded as one of the "top crowd pleasers" (New York Times) and one of the "hottest summer reads" (People Magazine). In each novel, acclaimed for its originality, Rollins unveils unseen worlds, scientific breakthroughs, and historical secrets—and he does it all at breakneck speed and with stunning insight. Known for building high-octane adventures on a solid science foundation, Jim juxtaposes the familiar with the exotic and then turbo-charges his tales with suspense. Always mindful of history's legacy, Jim reveals how secrets, some hidden for centuries, can change the course of human events.

Damon West had it all, he was a Division I starting quarterback at North Texas, Wall Street stockbroker at UBS, a Congressional staffer who once worked for a presidential campaign. Then one hit of crystal meth in a UBS parking garage destroyed everything. Eighteen months later he was homeless, leading a burglary crew, dubbed "The Uptown Burglar" by Dallas police. A jury deliberated for 10 minutes before sentencing him to 65 years in a Texas maximum-security prison.This is the story of how he got out and how a Muslim career criminal named Muhammad in a Dallas County jail cell handed him the message that became a Wall Street Journal bestseller: "Be a coffee bean."In this episode, Damon West sits down with Chad Robichaux to walk through the entire journey: the moment meth hooked him on the first hit, the SWAT raid that "rescued" him, the brutal first two months on Building 7 with 432 lifers, the parole interview that turned on a single word, and the email he received from a victim, the fiancée of a Marine killed in Iraq, whose forgiveness set him free.If you've ever wondered whether rock bottom can become a foundation, this one is for you.GET DAMON'S BOOKS: https://damonwest.org/shop/- The Coffee Bean (with John Gordon) - Wall Street Journal bestseller, translated into 30+ languages: - Six Times in a Nickel - Damon's full memoir + life principlesSigned copies available to Patreon members, join now to enter the giveaway: https://patreon.com/TheResilientShowCONNECT WITH DAMON WESTWebsite: https://damonwest.orgGET CHAD'S NEW BOOKRiptide (Silent Horizon Series, Book 2) - pre-order now, releasing May 12: https://www.tyndale.com/p/riptide/9781496488756——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:GoldCo: https://chadlikesgold.comSmith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠SLNT: https://slnt.com------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things, checking all the boxes, growing the business, building the brand, showing up every day, and still felt like something was just off? Like there was this low hum of chaos underneath everything no matter how hard you worked? Yeah, me too. And that is exactly where this conversation starts. In this episode, I sat down with one of my favorite humans on the planet, the one and only Rich Christiansen. Rich is a globally recognized thought leader, educator, mentor, and parallel entrepreneur who has co-founded 51 businesses, 16 of which have become multi-million dollar successes, most of them built with $10,000 or less in starting capital. He has done business in over 14 countries, written multiple bestselling books, and created programs like Legato Family that have genuinely changed the trajectory of my own family's life. He is also a husband, father of five sons, a man of deep faith, and someone who walks his talk every single day. Rich has spent decades helping legacy families and high-performing entrepreneurs get out of chaos by getting clear on what they actually stand for, and that is exactly what we get into today. This episode is centered around Rich's values workbook, a practical, deeply personal framework he has been privately using in two-day intensive mentoring sessions for 15 years with some of the most successful people in the world. Now he is making it accessible to everyone, and I cannot think of a more important conversation to have right now. Because here is the truth: most of us think we know our values, but we actually do not. We have borrowed them from our business, our sports team, or our parents, and we have never stopped to do the real work of figuring out what we actually stand for. That gap is costing us peace, costing us relationships, and costing us way more than we realize. Here are the key takeaways from this episode that I think every Happy Hustler needs to sit with: The first is that identifying your real values is the foundation of everything. Rich walks through all eight components of his values workbook in this episode, and it starts with uncovering your true core values, not the ones you borrowed from somewhere else, but the ones that are genuinely yours. He uses seven generation thinking, looking back at the wisdom of your ancestors and forward to what you want to leave for your great-grandchildren, to help you find what you actually stand for. Most people skip this step entirely and wonder why they feel so scattered. The second is that your trash can values matter just as much as your core ones. Rich opens up about his own journey of identifying and eliminating guilt, shame, and scarcity from his life, values he inherited but never chose. He shares a beautiful story about his 240-pound son grabbing him by the shoulders during a game of pool after Rich muttered something self-critical, and reminding him that those are not the values they agreed to live by. That story hit me hard, and I think it will hit you too. The third is that you have to emotionalize your values or they will never stick. Rich talks about naming your values in a way that fires something up inside you. Not boring corporate words like integrity or hard work, but names like hope gripper, or work win waddle, names that carry meaning and create an inside language between the people in your world. This is how culture gets built in a family or a business, through that inside emotional connection. The fourth is that your values become the mediator in every hard conversation. Instead of pointing the finger at another person when conflict shows up, you point to the shared value and have the conversation from there. Rich calls this the ligament in the relationship, and once you hear him explain it, you will never want to have a hard conversation any other way again. The fifth is one that shook me: most of us are giving 60 to 80 percent of our best energy to the outermost circle of our lives, the contacts, the followers, the people scrolling past our posts, and only 5 to 10 percent to the blood brothers and sisters who would actually show up for us at 2 in the morning. Rich challenges you to flip that, to protect your inner circle like it is sacred, because it is. I want to leave you with something Rich said near the end of this conversation that I have not been able to stop thinking about. He talked about a billionaire who sat across from him and wept, not because of money problems or business failures, but because he had 10,000 people he could call and not one who loved his soul enough to give him a kidney without expecting something in return. That is the kind of wake-up call this episode delivers. If you have been running hard, building fast, and feeling a little hollow underneath it all, this is the episode for you. Rich is the real deal and this conversation will stick with you long after it ends. Go listen to the full episode at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/ and if this one resonated with you, share it with someone who is grinding away but has not done this inner work yet. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for someone is hand them the mirror. That is Happy Hustlin'. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? Balance doing it properly. Yeah, go get it, but doing it in a fun, playful, appropriate way. Stop the green.
