In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, host Karl Bryan flies solo and dives into listener questions on how to break through overwhelm, stay focused while building a coaching business, and ensure long-term client retention. Karl shares real-life coaching stories, mindset strategies, and tactical frameworks—including the famous “Florida Keys” treasure analogy—to help coaches gain clarity, set bigger goals, and stop self-sabotaging. He offers advice on eliminating distractions, designing irresistible value for clients, and using powerful frameworks to multiply productivity without burning out. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Overwhelm & Getting Focused Karl tackles the all-too-common struggle of “too many things to do,” revealing how to anchor motivation in long-term, compelling goals rather than day-to-day tasks. He draws on coaching conversations and wisdom from Tony Robbins—encouraging business coaches to design a “ridiculously monstrous, compelling future” that pulls them forward. Creating Powerful Intentions & Eliminating Distractions He unpacks the importance of intentionality over mere activity. Coaches must shift from operating towards their goals to operating from their goals. The size and clarity of your objectives directly shape your daily discipline—and whether your long-term or short-term self wins the daily battles. The Florida Keys Story – Belief, Tenacity & Worthiness Karl shares the Mel Fisher treasure-hunt parable: most coaches (and business owners) ask three core questions—Is it there? Am I the one to succeed? Will it be worth it?—and only those resolutely answering “Yes” endure setbacks to ultimately win. How to Add Real Value & Extend Client Retention Instead of just “adding more” (calls, homework, videos), Karl recommends focusing on distinctions—needle-moving insights and frameworks that compound results. He explains the Jumpstart 12 system, offers call-structure hacks (including shorter, more focused sessions), and reminds coaches that keeping clients isn't about time, but about tangible profit acceleration. Mindset Mastery: Embracing Suffering & Building Wisdom Karl's Zen lesson: suffering is the path to greatness, not something to be avoided. The willingness to fail, take imperfect action, and “shed skin” is what separates high performers from those stuck on the sidelines. Notable Quotes “You don't have a client problem, you don't have a money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” “Operate from your goals, not towards your goals.” “If you have powerful goals, you will have powerful intentions.” “Focus is not focus. The way to get focused is to eliminate distractions, tasks, or even clients.” “Suffering is your path to your greatness. Diamonds are created under insane heat and pressure.” “Small hinges swing big doors—work on the needle-movers, not the busywork.” Actionable Takeaways Dream Bigger and Get Specific: Anchor yourself and your clients to a monstrous, compelling vision of the future—something worth pushing through obstacles for. Eliminate to Accelerate: Focus comes from subtracting tasks, projects, or even problematic clients. Use frameworks like the Jumpstart 12 to guide your priorities. Shorter, Smarter Calls: Switch to 30-minute sessions with supporting videos for maximum impact and efficiency—it's about insights, not meeting length. Serve Before You Sell: Embrace the mindset that your first job is to help—often before payment. This builds trust and long-term relationships. Embrace the Hard Stuff: Growth lies in suffering and setbacks. Don't fear mistakes or quitting—use those feelings to reignite your purpose and drive. Focus on Profit Acceleration: If you want to retain clients for years, make sure you aren't just coaching for the sake of it. Use proven frameworks to drive up profitability—it's the surest way to lasting relationships. Resources Mentioned Jumpstart 12: Karl's foundational coaching framework for focusing on the 12 drivers of profitability.

This week we kept shouting things like HIT ME! TWIST! GO FISH! WHAT'S A SPADE? In order to win the professional attention, and personal sympathy, of Jo Living – founder of ‘poker for business' consultancy Aces High. Having noticed that poker was less about bluff and bravado and more about strategy, empathy and teamwork, Jo realised it could be the perfect game for teaching people how to make smarter business decisions. From there she went on to run workshops teaching everything from communication and negotiation, to assertiveness and risk management, all done eye-to-eye through what she calls the ‘contact' sport of poker. It's an episode where we try very hard not to say things about ‘laying the cards on the table' (but probably won't succeed) covering everything from the real-world value of a poker face to the power of a timely pause. This episode is proudly dedicated to Adam Living.

From spotting trustworthy book influencers to discussing the true impact of genuine engagement, Michelle and Steph unpack how staying authentic can shape careers—and conversations—around books.

Trevor Noah's Born a Crime is trending, and for good reason. I'm seeing the evidence everywhere. This spring, as I ran our curriculum book choice tournament across the high school levels and hundreds of teachers weighed in, I watched it soar to the finals in BOTH the 9th/10th category and the 11th/12th category. Then, as summer began and I opened up this new podcast series, "Plan My Lesson" (which starts today, right now), I immediately received three separate requests for Born a Crime lessons. Naturally, with this book soaring in popularity but new to the scene, there isn't that much out there being shared yet. One teacher was searching for ways to get students connecting the text to the 5 key themes of the I.B. curriculum (identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organization, and sharing the planet). Another teacher was planning to use it as an anchor for a memoir class, and still another wanted to help students identity rhetorical devices inside while also developing their question-asking skills and connecting key moments in the text with argument claims. Is it possible to fulfill all these needs with one lesson? I think so. What we want is an in-depth lesson on a section of Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, with a focus on connecting its big ideas to big ideas in our world today and in students' own lives, exploring text passages carefully along the way for writer's craft moves and theme development. And of course, we want it to be engaging. And fit neatly in one class period. So today, in the first of our summer "Plan My Lesson" series of podcasts, let's dive into planning an engaging, goal-fulfilling lesson for Trevor Noah's Born a Crime. Whether or not you're teaching this book, you'll find lots of ideas for lesson planning here. After we walk through the lesson itself, we'll be talking about helpful takeaways from designing THIS lesson that you can apply to designing ANY lesson, so be sure to stay tuned to the end. I'll also be telling you how to grab all the curriculum for this lesson totally free. So let's dive in!

Patriarchy is a system that has shaped our world for thousands of years, which can make unpacking the topic feel overwhelming. Today, I offer a basic overview of patriarchy with specific examples that show how we got here and how it continues to influence us today. Awareness is the key to greater power and greater choice in your life. I hope that this episode provides you with insights and practical ways to claim both. Here's what I cover: The complexities of patriarchy beyond the idea that “men are in charge” How patriarchy was developed as a social technology in response to historical issuesLaws and political systems that were created to entrench patriarchy in societyHow to recognize patriarchy in action in today's societyThe ways patriarchy is internalized by people of all gendersHow humans created this system, so we can also choose to evolve beyond itI can't wait for you to listen!Book Recommendations for Further Reading:The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner - A comprehensive historical analysis of how patriarchal systems developed and became institutionalizedUntamed by Glennon Doyle - A powerful exploration of unlearning patriarchal conditioning and discovering your authentic selfThe Authority Gap by Mary Ann Sieghart - Examines how women are systematically undermined and taken less seriously than men across all areas of lifebell hooks: All About Love by bell hooks - Explores how patriarchal systems damage our capacity for love and authentic connectionResearch and Studies Referenced:Archaeological evidence on egalitarian pre-agricultural societies:“The Gender Equality Paradox” - https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/04/16/1717312115National Academy of Sciences research on prehistoric gender roles - https://www.nationalacademies.org/based-on-science/prehistoric-gender-rolesHow Did Patriarchy Actually Begin?Medical research gender bias:“Gender bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11441203/Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics study on pain treatment disparities - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/jlme.12040The mental load research:Arlie Hochschild's “The Second Shift” research - https://sociology.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/faculty/hochschild/pdf/SecondShift.pdfEmotional labor studies - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0003122412472680Confidence gap research:Kay & Shipman Harvard Business Review article - https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless-theyre-100-qualifiedThe Atlantic confidence gap study - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/05/the-confidence-gap/359090/Language and gender studies:Linguistic Society of America research - https://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/language-and-genderGender bias in language patterns study - https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-17914-001The Languages with Built-in SexismFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

In this episode of My Simplified Life, hosts Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith dive into their top summer reading picks while tackling a deeper conversation around authenticity in the book world. They explore how financial incentives can impact book recommendations, calling for more integrity and transparency in literary influence. Michelle and Stephanie unpack the rise of FOMO and imposter syndrome among readers and content creators, especially in a landscape where not all book lists are rooted in genuine reading experiences. This candid conversation is a reminder that real literary influence comes from actually reading and loving the books you promote—not from trends or payouts. Whether you're into thrillers, romance, or nonfiction, Michelle and Stephanie celebrate the joy of reading for yourself and the power of honest recommendations that build trust. What We're Talking About... The importance of reading the books you recommend. Financial incentives can influence book recommendations. Integrity in book promotion is crucial for lasting impact. Summer reads should evoke feelings and provide escape. Authenticity in recommendations builds trust with readers. FOMO and imposter syndrome can affect literary professionals. Not all recommendations are genuine; some are financially motivated. Readers should be aware of the motivations behind book lists. It's essential to enjoy the reading experience, regardless of genre. Diverse reading preferences are valid and should be celebrated.

Susie and Sarah are headed to a baseball game, but first Susie needs to explain the importance of safety and the precariousness of Buc Fever after a man recently fell at a game. We disuss the P Diddy sketch artist who appears to have the same talent as the recent caricaturist Sarah had, and why Sarah thinks he doesn't know how to draw people of color. We talk about the Pee Wee Herman documentary, how he came to resent the character he created, and how creativity can be a burden. Susie describes the Nathan Fielder docu-comedy series, The Rehearsal, and the way pilots could be saved through a small change in training and how the comedian is trying to save lives through updates to aviation.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/BRAINCANDY and add Essential Protein today.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah got mixed up in a felony and for a second was going to take matters into her own hands and try to apprehend the bandit because she "loves justice." Thankfully she realized Ann Taylor Loft's Loss Prevention isn't worth fighting for. Scientists turned a spider web red, and while we want to be excited we can't figure out why we should care. We discuss our least favorite creatures and we realize Susie's hatred of stink bugs is the insect equivalent of Sarah's fear of things that scurry. We learn the connection between golf courses and a neurological disease. Sarah watched a short film about people who dress up in crane costumes and dance to help the species, and she loves it so much, but Susie can't get past the documentary's name. But the real magic happened at the end of the show when Susie found out the Cheers' actor George Wendt died, and we lose our minds about the crazy coincidence of her finding out today.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comRead this week's Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/thebraincandypodcast/photograph-scandal-turning-point-how-to-be-happyConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDYFor 15% off your order and a special gift, head to https://pacagen.com/braincandyCancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Sarah had a "tick fiasco" in the wilderness, and she'll never be the same. We get some updates from Susie about Pete Rose's eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame since his death and we hear the scandal involving the Napalm Girl image we discussed recently, and how the wrong photographer may have taken credit for the last fifty years. We hear actually useful happiness tips that are more fun than the usual ones we already know. We learn about scientists who trained parrots to video call each other, and why Sarah wants to know if they were actually "talking" to each other. And we hear how the social birds were also the most likeable.

“I tell kids that books are not there to torment you. The author has to get you in the first ten pages. If they do not, they fail, because a book is like a lawnmower—you pull it, and either it starts or it doesn't start.” –Soman ChainaiSoman Chainani wants reading to feel irresistible. The bestselling author of "The School for Good and Evil," series and the recently released graphic novel, "Coven," shares how his own reading life began—powered by Anne Rice, Michael Crichton, and a complete lack of adult supervision—and how those early obsessions shaped his belief that stories should be bold, boundary-pushing, and personal.In this episode, Soman explains why middle grade books can (and should) feel dangerous, how his grandmother's glamorous storytelling shaped his imagination, and what a book needs to do in its first ten pages to hook a reader. He also unpacks the “moral grayness” that defines his favorite novels and his own writing, and makes a compelling case for why kids need more honesty, not less, in the stories we give them.Tune in for a fast-paced episode that includes Madonna, hot takes, and tips for breaking (all) the rules. ***Soman's reading challenge, Immersive, is all about getting lost in a story. The books he curated blur the line between fiction and reality, pulling the reader in so completely you forget the world around you.

Sarah is getting old all of a sudden, and she is not happy about it. She claims she has an old lady body now, and we talk about how humans age in two big bursts at 44 and 60. Sarah saw a man taking pics of young girls at the beach so we debate whether she should've confronted him. Frogs have been croaking (get it?) at alarming numbers due to storm drains, so someone created the cutest solution you ever heard of. We discuss the old classic the tortoise and the hare, and we admit that that story is a buncha b.s. Truth is, that hare is going to win 99% of the time. We talk about karma and the silly way humans think about it that is biased to their own goodness. Sarah explains why female friendships are keeping pop music afloat. We learn why humans heal so much slower than their chimpanzee relatives.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDYVisit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susie went to a Micky Dolenz of the Monkees concert, and the next day a stranger stopped her at the grocery store to make a comment about something Susie did at the show. We learn why medical professionals and workers at senior facilities are being trained to stop using "elderspeak" with their patients. They say that the baby talk and cutesy language infantilizes older folks and causes greater resistance to care and more anti-psychotic prescriptions. We discuss the Carter family documentary and hear how the stardom of their sons Aaron and Nick contributed to strife, addiction, and death in the family. We talk about a man who intentionally injected himself with snake venom and willingly let snakes bite him hundreds of times with the hope of becoming immune to their poison, and somehow, someway, he actually did it. And he might end up being responsible for creating a universal anti-venom. We debate whether the Pulitzer prize-winning photo of the Vietnam War victim "Napalm Girl," who is running naked after being burned, should be allowed on social media or if it's pornographic.LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: MAY 22nd 8PM - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/LiveListen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comBCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDY.Use code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com for 40% off best-selling sheets, pajamas, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Scientists think they might have found a planet that is "brimming with life," and we're pretty sure whoever lives there is way smarter than earthlings. We learn about a climber who had to be rescued twice in one week because he forgot his phone on the mountain. And we discuss a vintage story about a hiker who was lost and couldn't be rescued because when first responders called him he didn't pick up because he didn't recognize the number. We debate whether it was appropriate for a tennis player to tell her opponent to put on deodorant. We discuss the Oklahoma City bombing documentary, and how hearing the stories of the survivors helped portray the scope of loss. Susie is worried about a kind of hornet that is making its home in her town, and Sarah thinks they might be government drones or psyops. A town in Finland calls itself the home of Santa, but residents are fed up with all the tourists. We consider the backlash about tourism around the world and what's really driving it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyVisit https://shopbeam.com/braincandy and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.
