What if healing isn't something another person does to you? This week I'm joined by Brea Segger, retreat facilitator, writer and host of the podcast Beneath the Story. She's calling in from her family's permaculture farm on Vancouver Island, though home is mostly Costa Rica these days. Brea shares the story of leaving a corporate finance career in 2007, ending up on Zanzibar, and floating in the Indian Ocean with nothing to prove. She describes what happened when she finally stopped holding on. From there we get into the difference between effortless and easy, why trust is the prerequisite for surrender, and why the "broken to be fixed" model of healing takes people's power away. We also talk about why neither of us wants to be needed forever by a client, and how to tell when your work is draining you for the wrong reasons. In this episode: Life across Vancouver Island, Costa Rica and Sydney Why Brea moved her family to Costa Rica during COVID, and how a "six month" plan became five years Being more of you, and why authenticity is getting harder to fake The Zanzibar chapter: dial-up internet, floating in the ocean, and surrendering control "Giving up" versus "giving over" (trusting something bigger than us) Power over versus power within Why a session should leave you energised, and what it means if it doesn't The three types of people when it comes to carrying inherited emotional weight Doing what's yours to do, like the client who wanted dance, not volunteering Walking in nature without headphones (and why 1990s hip hop at the gym is fine too) Find Brea: https://www.breasegger.com/ https://www.instagram.com/breasegger/ ______ This episode is brought to you by the Clear Ground Program, a somatically informed, multimodal online and live-call program for connecting within and between your relationships, healing what holds you back, and stepping into your biggest vision, grounded and supported.

Hätte. Denn es gab technische Probleme: Mails sind nicht rausgegangen, der Link kam an vielen Stellen nicht an – und am Ende saß ich im Zoom-Raum und musste die wenigen, die es trotzdem geschafft hatten, vertrösten.Unangenehm? Ja. Aber genau deshalb nehme ich diese Folge auf.Denn Fehler sind kein Bug in der Selbstständigkeit. Sie sind Teil des Spiels. Ich habe auf den Philippinen mit Internetausfall einen Kundencall verpasst, aus Versehen eine private Story auf einem Kundenaccount gepostet und in meinem damals ersten Praktikum an einem einzigen Tag 5.000 Dollar Werbebudget verbrannt. Ich nenne es: die Kunst des Verkackens.In dieser Folge teile ich meine wichtigsten Learnings, wie du mit Fehlern umgehst – vor allem in der Zusammenarbeit mit Kunden.Das erwartet dich:Warum der Worst Case fast nie so schlimm ist, wie dein Kopf ihn gerade maltMeine 4-Schritte-Formel für ehrliche Kommunikation, wenn was schiefgehtWarum 100% Eigenverantwortung dich zu dem Dienstleister macht, dem Kunden wirklich vertrauenDie eine Frage, die ich mir bei jedem Problem stelleKleiner Reminder: Das Online-Training gibt es als Nachholtermin am 4.

In this first segment, Perry Camba traces his path — from a technical professional to a business leader. After facing major setbacks, Camba rebuilt his career through resilience, experience, and determination. This episode highlights the origins of Securage and the foundation of a business built on trust, security, and integrity.

In this episode of The Unboxable Podcast, Alena Turley speaks with Miami-based marketing strategist Sasha Awwa, who helps entrepreneurs stop wasting money by returning to marketing foundations, optimizing leaks and gaps, and navigating an increasingly noisy, AI-amplified landscape. They discuss why clarity beats cleverness (including SEO and simple messaging), why social media and standard launch formulas don't fit everyone, and how “failed” launches still produce valuable data. The conversation explores the renewed importance of trust, genuine connection, collaboration, and community-building—online and offline—alongside creative, low-budget strategies and partnerships. Sasha outlines her three-phase launch approach: foundations (goals, the four Ws, audience, landing pages, tech stack), marketing planning, and analytics/testing, and shares how she supports small businesses with end-to-end strategy. 00:00 Sacha Awwa - Marketing Magician 02:35 Navigating Marketing Noise 05:54 Formula vs. Instinct 11:28 The Butterfly Transformation Analogy 15:37 Community Over Commerce 34:47 Sacha's Three-Phase Formula 37:43 Marketing by Design ABOUT SACHA Founder of Uncomplicate It "CLARITY OVER COMPLEXITY, uncomplicating growth for Founders" Sacha spent spent 23 years inside high-performance institutions.

Born and raised in Binondo, Manila, Jan Sy grew up surrounded by the rich heritage and fading beauty of Old Manila. His passion for restoration began with something simple — a single photo of Calle Katipunero, the street that runs beside Manila City Hall. What others saw as just another weathered corner of the city, Sy saw as a chance to bring back its original charm. Armed with determination and a deep love for his city's history, Sy thoroughly cleaned and carefully restored the area. When he shared before-and-after photos, the post quickly went viral, capturing the hearts of thousands who longed to see Manila's beauty revived. This is the story of how one young man's vision turned a forgotten street into a symbol of hope — proof that even the smallest acts of care can restore not just places, but pride.

In today's episode, you'll discover: 1.    Conflict may be the doorway to the relationship you actually want. 2.    Stop outsourcing your judgment—even to really smart people. 3.    Stop making your peace dependent on someone else's cooperation. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Marc Benioff: "You must always be able to predict what's next and then have the flexibility to evolve."

Maik Pfingsten ist Business-Mentor und Podcaster. Er hilft also Freiberufler*innen dabei, erfolgreicher zu werden. Früher, vor 2010, lebte er ein "typisches" Freiberufler-Leben. Viel Reisen, viel Arbeit, viel Stress und zu wenig Zeit für sich selbst und die Familie. Selbst und ständig galt bei ihm nicht nur als Klischee. Im Sommer 2010 traf er dann eine Entscheidung, von der er hoffentlich gleich mehr erzählen wird, außerdem sprechen wir heute aber über wertebasierte Festpreise. Maik und kennen uns virtuell von LinkedIn, seit diesem Jahr aber auch persönlich vom Podcamp in Düsseldorf, wo ich mit dem nerdcafe auch Sponsor war. Podcast ist also ein Medium, das uns verbindet - daher erscheint diese Episode auch in zwei Teilen bei ihm und bei mir.

Ein Fluss voller Krokodile. Und ein Traum, den ich seit 2019 mit mir herumtrage.Vor ein paar Tagen saß ich im Safari-Auto am Ufer des Mara-Flusses – und bin in Tränen ausgebrochen. Zusammen mit unserer ganzen Gruppe.Die Great Migration ist eines der größten Naturspektakel der Welt: rund 1,5 Millionen Gnus und Zebras, die im Kreis durch die Serengeti ziehen. Irgendwann müssen sie den Mara-Fluss überqueren – das sogenannte Crossing. Genau das wollte ich seit sechs Jahren mit eigenen Augen sehen.In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit auf unsere Safari durch Tansania – vom Ngorongoro-Krater mit 25.000 Tieren bis in den Norden der Serengeti. Ganz ehrlich, wie es wirklich war: das lange Warten, die Gänsehaut und der Moment im Sonnenuntergang, in dem tausende Gnus in den Fluss stürzten.

From ₱30,000 and a borrowed pot to a full-blown franchise launch — this is the story of CK and Jackie Salva, the couple behind Abram's Cuisine in Pagsangjan, Laguna.Ten years ago, they didn't even plan to open a restaurant. They started with catering — just to save up for their wedding. But God had bigger plans.Today, Abraham's Cuisine is a landmark destination along the Pagsanjan tourism trail, known for its festive Boodle Fiesta experience and the warm, family-style dining that keeps guests coming back. And on their 10th anniversary, they're not just celebrating — they're launching a franchise.This is the kind of story that reminds us — it's never about how much you start with. It's about how much heart you bring to the table.

With over 25 years of experience, Katrena empowers entrepreneurs and leaders to master their unique Field of Excellence. Her clients range from ambitious startups to seasoned professionals, all seeking to elevate their influence and success.   As an award-winning author and TEDx speaker, Katrena's mission is to help individuals unlock their full potential and create thriving, future-proof businesses. Her innovative "Done for You Program" turns dreams into reality within 90 days, leveraging seven distinct streams of income to build a sustainable business ecosystem.   Connect with Katrena Friel:   Email: katrena@becomingtheexpert.com.au Phone: +61 412 537 053 Website: www.becomingtheexpert.com.au LinkedIn: @katrenafriel   Episode Summary:   Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Katrena Friel, a business mentor with over 25 years of coaching and leadership experience, TEDx speaker, and award-winning author, to unpack why most entrepreneurs are sitting on income streams they've never touched. Katrena shares the painful $30,000 lesson that launched her coaching career, then breaks down her framework for building seven (really eight) streams of revenue from expertise people already have — from books and speaking to training, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, consulting, and franchising. She also walks through her 90-day "done for you" program that turns an idea into a full business ecosystem, describes her ideal client, and closes with advice on thinking bigger about what a fulfilling business and life can look like.   Key Takeaways:   - Most experienced professionals already have enough knowledge to build multiple income streams — they just don't know it. - A costly mistake or bad experience can become the turning point that pushes you toward your real path. - A personal brand isn't just being an influencer — it's a business built around your expertise. - There are seven (plus a bonus eighth) income streams available to experts: book/e-book, speaking (paid and unpaid), training, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, consulting, and franchising. - Writing a book builds credibility and positions you as an expert, even if it isn't a major revenue source on its own.   Episode Chapters:   00:00 Episode teaser: 3 things you'll learn 00:47 Guest introduction: Meet Katrena Friel 01:54 Katrena's background and path from corporate 02:52 The $30,000 lesson: a bad coach and a turning point 07:00 Why entrepreneurs are leaving money on the table 08:56 Client example: building the Virtual Assistant Institute 12:22 The seven streams of income, explained 12:27 Stream 1: Book / e-book 13:41 Stream 2: Speaking (paid and non-paid) 14:30 Stream 3: Training 14:53 Streams 4–6: Coaching, mentoring, facilitating, consulting 15:48 Bonus stream 8: Franchising 16:28 The power of a side hustle (a college grad's story) 18:09 Inside the 90-day program 21:17 Two types of clients: corporate-safe vs. all-in 23:01 Sponsor break 23:44 What inspires Katrena 24:41 Who is the ideal client? 26:01 Three types of clients: done-for-you, hybrid, and DIY 27:38 Katrena's legacy and definition of freedom 28:35 What's next: the Business Mentor Institute 29:14 Where to find Katrena 29:36 Final takeaway for listeners

After years of wondering how to scale his business, Eric is launching Eric AI!  Eric is passionate about coaching and mentoring owners, solopreneurs, and professionals across the meetings and events industry. Eric AI is a business mentor platform built from Eric's experience, methodology, and decision-making process, making his mentoring available 24/7 in 77 languages. Stay tuned as he shares how the platform was created, what sets it apart from other AI tools, and how it asks thoughtful questions, offers guidance, and helps business owners move forward. Eric AI Eric AI allows you to work with Eric 24/7, in 77 languages. Built from Eric's personal knowledge, experience, methodology, and coaching style, it gives you access to his business mentoring whenever you need it. How Eric AI Was Created The platform was developed by uploading everything Eric has written, recorded, and taught throughout his career. It was then refined through an extensive onboarding process that captured how he approaches different situations, the questions he asks, the methodologies he uses, and his communication style. Authentic Human Wisdom Eric explains that the platform is designed to capture and scale authentic human wisdom. Rather than simply generating answers, it is designed to reflect Eric's own voice, methodology, and decision-making process. Finding New Clients If you want to find new clients, focus on building trust and visibility through consistent action. Reconnect with past clients, ask for referrals, and create opportunities to add value rather than relying solely on cold outreach. Be Where Your Clients Are You need to be present where your clients spend their time, both at industry events and in the digital spaces they use. Being visible, credible, and memorable makes it easier for opportunities and introductions to happen. Board Decisions If a board keeps postponing decisions, provide a clear framework that defines the options, the impact of each choice, and the cost of delaying action. Making the consequences of inaction visible helps move discussions forward. Boards should be encouraged to make their decisions by the end of the meeting, even if that decision is "no" or "not now." Setting boundaries helps to avoid endless debates. Asking the Right Questions Eric AI does more than provide answers. It guides you by asking questions that help you think through your own situation and determine the best way forward. Difficult Questions Because your conversations remain confidential, you can ask Eric AI sensitive business or workplace questions you might not want to raise with anyone else. Focus on What You Can Control When work relationships become difficult, concentrate on the things you can influence. Honest, non-confrontational conversations can help rebuild trust while allowing you to better understand the other person's perspective.

In this 100th episode of Unboxable, Somatic Therapist Aléna Turley reflects on the power of deep, body-held belief that defies logic, rational thinking, or even medical science. She shares her four-year journey to conceiving and carrying her third child—after pregnancy loss, a difficult second pregnancy, multiple miscarriages, intense life pressure, alternative support, and discouraging fertility assessments including IVF that was halted due to low eggs. Following a Whole30 wholefood reset and a move overseas to Bath, England, she conceived and experienced a largely low-intervention, empowered birth supported by a doula, midwives, and birth education, and community breastfeeding support. This episode is all about cultivating trust in the body as an intimate companion, seeking support, resting and replenishing, and learning the difference between distraction and an aligned, life-affirming path.

Are you trying to advance your career, but unsure who to ask for help? Have you ever wondered if you need a mentor, a coach, or a sponsor—and what the difference actually is? In this episode from the archive, Andy Lopata sits down with two giants of the mentoring world: Vanessa Vallely OBE (founder of WeAreTheCity) and Kerrie Dorman (founder of the Association of Business Mentors). Together, they dismantle the confusion surrounding these crucial professional relationships. Discover the "CCM" approach to support, learn the golden rule that separates a mentor from a sponsor, and find out the exact formula for asking a busy executive to mentor you (without getting a "no"). If you've ever felt stuck in your career, this episode provides the ultimate roadmap for building a "personal boardroom" that will propel you forward. What You Will Learn in This Episode: The "Been There, Done That" Rule: What is the fundamental difference between a coach (who asks questions) and a mentor (who shares scars and experience)? The Talk To vs. Talk About Rule: How to instantly distinguish between a mentor who gives you advice and a sponsor who puts their reputation on the line to get you promoted. The Myth of Age and Rank: Why you don't need to reach a specific level of seniority to deserve a mentor—and why you are actually never too old to have one. The Perfect "Ask": The specific, structured formula you must use when asking someone to be your mentor to guarantee they say "yes." The "Personal Boardroom": Why having just one mentor is a mistake, and how to build an "agile" formula of mentors, coaches, and accountability partners. Actionable Insights Structure Your "Ask": Stop asking people, "Will you be my mentor?" It's too vague and demanding. Instead, use Vanessa's formula: State why you chose them (flattery helps!), define the specific skill you want to learn, set a clear timeline (e.g., three 30-minute sessions over three months), and define what success looks like. Make it easy for them to say yes. Turn Mentors into Sponsors: A mentor talks to you; a sponsor talks about you in rooms you aren't in. To turn a mentor into a sponsor, you must demonstrate your capability so they feel confident putting their integrity on the line for you. Audit Your "Personal Boardroom": Do not rely on one person for all your professional support. Map out your current network. Do you have an accountability partner who pushes you? Do you have an industry expert who shares their scars? Do you have a coach who asks hard questions? Build a diverse "formula" of mentors to cover your blind spots.

You hired a business mentor to shortcut your path to growth.   Now you've got a generic to-do list, a sales system that makes you  feel fake, content bringing in the wrong leads, and advice that doesn't  account for the complexity of your life, your model, your clients, or  your strengths.   In this episode, Tom Foxley makes the case that most business coaching  doesn't work — not because the strategies are wrong, but because they  belong to someone else. Coaches teach what built their business. That  is almost never what will build yours.   What you're really buying from most business mentors is an illusion of  certainty. The social proof, the testimonials, the case studies — those  are the people who naturally aligned with that coach's model. For  everyone else, following the blueprint produces an imitation. A Russian  doll of someone else's business.   The real competitive advantage isn't a better system. It's deeper  self-knowledge. Knowing yourself thoroughly enough to build something  that only you could build — and that fits you so well it stops feeling  like work.   Topics covered: - Why generic business advice produces generic businesses - The illusion of certainty that most coaching is actually selling - Why copying a business model makes you an imitation of your mentor - Naval Ravikant — do what feels like play to you but looks like    work to others - Two real client examples of business owners who scrapped the    standard model and built their own - Why self-knowledge is where real business growth starts

In this highlight episode, Stacey continues her three-part series on understanding the money in your business. Building on last week’s introduction to basic budgeting, Stacey dives deeper into why every business owner needs to know exactly where their cash is—what’s coming in, what’s going out, and what’s projected over the months ahead. She shares insights from her coaching clients, many of whom feel hesitant or overwhelmed by finances, and explains how simple accountability practices can transform confidence around money. Stacey also reveals her own learning curve with business finances and why education is the key to making informed decisions. Listeners will learn how to create individual budgets for products and events, price strategically, and forecast multiple scenarios so that decisions are based on real numbers—not gut instinct. Stacey’s examples from Port Macquarie Performing Arts show how using a basic spreadsheet can help determine whether projects are profitable, sustainable, or need to pivot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many gym owners hire the wrong mentor for the wrong reasons. They pick the cheapest option or someone who “really cares.” But "cheap" doesn't mean "effective" and caring isn't enough.You need results when you invest in mentorship.Today on “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper walks you through the Mentor Match exercise, a step-by-step process for identifying exactly the right mentor for you.The exercise reveals which coaching styles have actually worked for you in the past: Some people respond to drill sergeants, while others need questioners or explainers. The key is finding the style that matches your personality.Chris also covers the three non-negotiables when choosing a mentor: They've done what you want to do, they're objective (not just supportive), and the investment is uncomfortable enough to ensure you do the work.Every coach needs a coach.

This week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm giving you the honest talk I wish someone had given me earlier. We're covering the habits that quietly hold artists back—like hiding behind tools, blaming the algorithm, or constantly switching directions before giving anything a real shot.I break down why obsessing over your weak spots can keep you from becoming known for your strengths, why marketing isn't optional if you want paid opportunities, and why someone less talented might be earning more simply because they show up consistently. We'll also talk about the discomfort of being seen online, the discipline it takes to stick with something long enough to see real progress, and how investing in quality—whether that's materials, education, or mentorship—can fast-track your growth.This episode might sting a little, but if you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building traction, it's exactly what you need.

In this episode, Adam Torres interviews Jason Moss, Business Mentor at Jason Moss, LLC. Jason shares how his early entrepreneurial journey—and a life-altering cancer diagnosis—shaped his philosophy that business is a mirror of internal growth. He explains the three dimensions of business (will, head, and heart), why strategy alone isn't enough, and how resonance-based marketing builds deeper client loyalty in the AI era. Jason's mission is to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses while becoming more aligned, fulfilled, and fully themselves in the process.

Intelligence framework he discovered and detailed in his Amazon bestseller, The Offshore Team Deathtrap. Even the smartest startup founders and mid-market executives get trapped when building offshore or nearshore teams.   Not because they're inexperienced.  Not because they chose the wrong country.  Not because they made witting mistakes. It's because they fall into what Luis calls the "Offshore Team Death Trap" - a systematic set of 7 failure points that catch intelligent executives precisely because they appear legitimate and logical. 73% of offshore and nearshore teams fail within 18 months.    Episode Benefits:  You can expect to gain actionable insights and strategies to help you avoid The Offshore Death Trap and Succeed.   This Podcast series is targeted to Business Owners and C-Suite Executives.  It reflects my 34 years as a Business Owner and subsequent years as a Business Mentor and Consultant.  It focuses on the various subjects and topics to help you run a successful profitable business.  They are approximately 15-minutes long so you can listen while commuting.      Reach out to me to be put in contact with Luis.   The Business of Business, topics are divided into 5 Categories: Management, Operations, Sales, Financial, and Personal. Support the showHelping You Run a Successful Profitable Business !

Have you ever looked at your life, your business, your relationships, your health, and thought, “Man… I'm doing a lot, but am I actually living at my highest level?”In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Rudi Riekstins, a leadership visionary, energetic mastery coach, and trusted mentor to high-performing entrepreneurs and transformational leaders. Rudi is the real deal. A husband, father, and deeply grounded human, he brings a blend of wisdom, spirituality, neuroscience, and lived experience that just hits different. This episode matters because it's not about grinding harder… it's about remembering who you actually are and learning how to create a life that is fully aligned, fully intentional, and fully YOU.We dive deep into what it really means to live a “10 out of 10 life,” where every area, from marriage to health to leadership to purpose, gets the attention it deserves. Rudi breaks down the mental, physical, and energetic bodies, the neuroscience of manifestation, and why most people unintentionally sabotage their dreams without even knowing it. And he does it all in a way that's practical, simple, and powerful as hell.Some of the biggest takeaways you'll hear are why the first 20 minutes of your day dictate your ability to lead, love, and create; how shifting your emotional state literally rewires your destiny; why giving selflessly of your insight, finances, and time accelerates abundance; how your energy influences people before your words ever reach them; and how coherence, not stress is the real superpower behind sustainable success.This conversation is an invitation to remember who the F you are, take ownership of your emotional world, and show up as the most aligned, whole, powerful version of yourself. It's about becoming the kind of person who can have the epic marriage, the thriving business, the deep peace, and the joyful life without sacrificing your soul or burning out in the process.If you're ready to elevate your leadership, expand your capacity, strengthen your relationships, tap into your deepest potential, and start living at a 10 out of 10… you're going to love this one.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Rudi remembers who you are and every day walking into a room purposefully, carefully, and calculatedly planning who do you want to be so that you have the highest potential of meeting that expectation.Connect with Rudihttps://www.facebook.com/RudiRiekstinshttps://www.instagram.com/rudiriekstins/https://www.youtube.com/@rudiriekstinshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rudi-riekstins/Find Rudi on this website: https://rudiriekstins.com Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
