What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to ignore the experts? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kara Goldin, Founder of Hint Water and bestselling author of Undaunted, to reveal what it really takes to build a brand, a company, and a category from the ground up. From rejection and industry pushback to Goliath competitors and well-meaning “experts” who swear your idea won't work, this conversation is a blueprint for staying unshakably committed to your vision, even when no one else understands it. Here's what you'll learn: Why bold ideas are doubted before they're celebrated — and how to push forward anyway How to distinguish genuine insight from the limiting beliefs of others What it takes to stay persistent when you're creating something no one has ever done before If you want a real-world example of what unwavering commitment can create, this episode is it. ---- Show Notes: 04:32 — Why Kara says she never would have started Hint if she knew how difficult the journey would be. 06:34 — What it took to create a completely new beverage category and convince buyers it mattered. 08:57 — The moment a senior Coca-Cola executive dismissed her idea and told her Americans “love sweet.” 12:51 — How Kara learned to separate genuine expertise from limiting beliefs disguised as advice. 16:06 — What watching Ted Turner build CNN taught her about conviction and pursuing ideas others doubt. 22:01 — How giving up Diet Coke for her own health became the unexpected catalyst for creating Hint. 30:56 — How little she actually knew about the beverage industry and why that ignorance helped her innovate. 35:25 — How landing Starbucks became a breakthrough moment that suddenly reversed without warning. 39:07 — Why Kara believes dark days don't last forever and how unexpected opportunities follow adversity.

Episode Overview In this powerhouse episode, John Kitchens sits down with Oklahoma City powerhouse and brokerage owner Will Mahan for a raw, real, and revealing conversation about leadership, obsession, building culture, and the evolution every top-producing agent must go through to truly become a CEO. Will takes us through his 15-year journey—from life insurance to top-tier real estate producer, to team leader, to eXp influencer, and now the founder of a rapidly growing hybrid brokerage built around entrepreneurship, investing, and true wealth creation. He breaks down why most agents stall out, why leadership matters more than ever, and how to build a business that aligns with your strengths, your energy, and your long-term vision. If you're craving clarity on scaling, culture, leadership, and building a business that actually gives you time, money, and location freedom, this episode will hit you right between the eyes. Key Topics Covered Will's Origin Story & Early Pivots How selling life insurance built the foundation for his real estate success Why obsession—not interest—is the real separator in this industry The mentors who shaped his business mindset and leadership style The CEO Shift: From Hustling to Building a Business How Will realized "commission checks" weren't the same as "building a business" The mindset traps that hit agents once they reach $250K… $500K… and even $1M GCI Why ego is the silent killer of progress Leadership, Culture, and Obsession The difference between being interested, committed, and obsessed Why humility is the single greatest leadership trait What Will looks for in mentors and why "yes-men" are dangerous The Decision to Launch His Own Brokerage The strategic thinking behind leaving eXp How he identified a massive gap in the OKC market The rise of the Hybrid Agent and why his brokerage attracts entrepreneurs, investors, and multi-cultural talent Building a culture where agents learn flipping, BRRRR, private money, and wealth-building methods—not just how to get commissions Why Most Agents Never Grow—Even at 7 Figures The harsh truth: agents stop doing what got them to success The false comfort of leverage when you don't reallocate your time correctly How agents accidentally sabotage their growth by abandoning the fundamentals Pruning for Growth: Cutting 30% of His Brokerage Why Will intentionally reduced his agent count to increase production The dramatic results: double the transactions with fewer agents What his top 25 agents do that the others don't: They show up They take notes They stay coachable They stay consistent The Heart of the Business: People, Passion, Purpose – Why leading with energy and passion fuels culture – The fulfillment that comes from watching agents become wealthier, empowered, and confident – How to create a business that supports your life—not the other way around Resources & Mentions – The Need to Lead by Dave Berke – Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin – Agent to CEO Coaching Framework – John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway You don't build a real estate business by accident—you build it with clarity, consistency, leadership, and obsession. As Will demonstrates, the path to real freedom comes from knowing who you are, what energizes you, and building the business that aligns with that vision. "Show up with passion. Show up with energy. If you pour into your people, they'll run through a brick wall for you." – Will Mahan Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Unorthodox Ukraine Diplomacy and Geopolitical Realism — Mary Kissel — Kissel analyzes the "exceedingly odd" U.S. approach to Ukraine peace negotiations, wherein businesspeople framed initial proposals while bypassing traditional State Department channels. This transactional negotiating style concerns European allies because it appears to reward Russia and establishes an unfavorable initial bargaining position. Kissel suggests the conflict will likely persist while diplomatic discussions protract.

התוכן בנקודה העיקרית של חיוב לימוד התורה משתווים כל ישראל משא"כ באופן קיום המצוות (אין חילוק בין לימוד הדין ד"שויתי ה' לנגדי תמיד" שבתחלת שו"ע ודיני נזקי הגוף שבסוף שו"ע – ה"ז באותו כח השכל וכח הדיבור, משא"כ בקיום מצוות אלו יש חילוק מן הקצה אל הקצה). ולכן הענין דאחדות ישראל נפעל ע"י התורה. ולכן גם המעבר בין העבודה דחודש תשרי ל"ויעקב הלך לדרכו" הוא ע"י הממוצע וההכנה של שמחת תורה דוקא (ולא שמחה של מצוה שבחגה"ס), שזה פועל הענין דאחדות ישראל גם במצב של "פרידתכם". וזהו מה שעוררו ע"ד ההוספה בקביעות עתים לתורה – ללמוד ע"מ לקבל סמיכה לרבנות, "יורה יורה" ו/או "ידין ידין". ושהנהלות הישיבות והכוללים יקבעו זה כחלק מסדרי הלימוד. וגם יו"ל קובצי חידושי תורה פעמיים השנה – לקראת חה"פ ור"ה. וגם בעלי עסק יוסיפו בקביעות עתים לתורה, גם בלימוד שו"ע, ובקיום המצוות. משיחת יום א' פ' נח, אדר"ח מרחשון ה'תשל"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=22-10-2025 Synopsis Unlike with mitzvos, all Jews are equal in the core obligation to study Torah. (Whether one learns the law, “I have placed Hashem before me always” at the beginning of Shulchan Aruch or the laws of bodily damages at the end of Shulchan Aruch, he uses the same faculty of intellect and the same faculty of speech. But when it comes to keeping these mitzvos, they are extremely different). Thus, Torah expresses Jewish unity, and this is why the link and preparation between the month of Tishrei and the month when “Yaakov goes on his way” is (not the “joy of a mitzvah” of Sukkos, but ) Simchas Torah – because Torah causes the people to be united even in their “parting.” This is why there was a call to increase in fixed times for Torah study, with the goal of receiving semicha, and a call for the administrations of the yeshivos and kollelim to make this part of the study curriculum. They should also publish collections of novel Torah insights twice a year, before Pesach and before Rosh Hashanah. Businesspeople, too, should increase in their fixed times for Torah study, including study of Shulchan Aruch, as well as in their mitzvah observance.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, parashas Noach, 1st day of Rosh Chodesh MarCheshvan 5736 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=22-10-2025 לזכות יהושע אברהם בן בתשבע שי' ליום ההולדת שלו ל' תשרי - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Daily Study: We hear many stories of successful non-Christian businesspeople in the news, and every now and then, we hear about a few Christians who have achieved success in business. Why does it seem like secular people are more successful in business than Christians? Well, the reason is that they have fully committed to their worldly system of success, whereas many Christians in business are wishy-washy. They try to do business God's way mixed with worldly principles, which is a recipe for frustration and failure.

Join Dennis Peacocke as he unpacks one his more well known sayings- that is “Power is guarded by problems.” The world's approach often seeks to avoid problems, asking, “How do we get out of this?” In contrast, God encourages us to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, asking, “How can we benefit from this?” The ability to effectively problem-solve presents a unique opportunity for Christians to stand out in our attitude, approach, and success in overcoming challenges. Destiny is realized when we embrace problems as opportunities!Additional resources from GoStrategic on problem solving:Katherine Gallagher on Jurisdictional Problem Solving https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014804/episodes/17327676 An Overview of Problem Solving for Businesspeople by Dennis PeacockeCore Message Highlight: Problem Solving - GoStrategicFor more information on the ministry of GoStrategic, please visit https://www.gostrategic.org

This isn't theory. It's real-world, been-through-the-struggles, here's-what-actually-worked automation.Anna doesn't just build tools, she builds systems that learn and adapt to your personality. You'll see how she overcame common roadblocks (and not-so-common AI frustrations) using N8N, Airtable, Clay, and Claude, plus how to personalize your entire funnel so it doesn't sound like a robot wrote it.Anna is a rising star in the AI and automation space - a coach at Clay Bootcamp, an ex-project manager at Speak On Podcast, and a hands-on innovator who's turning Reddit posts, transcripts, and third-party data into fully automated content and outreach systems.
