Unlocking Identity, Mindset, and Service-Driven Growth with Paul Tembunde of Premier DestinyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Paul Tembunde, Co-founder and CEO of Premier Destiny. Drawing on over two decades of experience in the home care industry and his journey as a transformational coach, Paul shares how shifting your identity, cultivating a growth mindset, and building a service-focused business can lead to true personal and professional fulfillment. If you're looking to rediscover your purpose and align your work with your calling, this episode offers real strategies to help unlock your highest potential.Identity Shifting and the Power of Knowing Who You ArePaul emphasizes that your identity is not your job title, your past, or your current situation—it's the self-image you hold and the beliefs you carry about what's truly possible. He encourages entrepreneurs and professionals alike to regularly self-reflect, ask meaningful questions, and challenge limiting definitions of success. This process of "identity auditing" is central to Paul's coaching approach and helps uncover blind spots that often hold people back from stepping into their greatness.A strong growth mindset, according to Paul, means rejecting victimhood and embracing your power to create change. He recommends replacing limiting self-talk with empowering questions, surrounding yourself with growth-oriented people, and always staying curious. Paul also stresses the importance of identifying your "zone of genius"—the unique intersection of your passions, natural strengths, and ability to serve others. When work aligns with this zone, it becomes deeply fulfilling.As someone who built a thriving home care business with his wife, Paul shares how delegation was key to scaling. Letting go of tasks outside their core strengths allowed them to focus on strategy and growth. Today, Paul helps others enter and succeed in the booming home care industry, and continues coaching professionals through Premier Destiny. At the core of his message is this: fulfillment comes not from chasing profit, but from using your gifts in service of others.About Paul TembundePaul Tembunde is the Co-founder and CEO of Premier Destiny and a transformational coach with 23+ years in the home care industry. He helps entrepreneurs unlock their potential by guiding them through identity shifting, mindset development, and purpose-driven service.About Premier DestinyPremier Destiny is a coaching and consulting company that empowers individuals to discover their true identity, live with intention, and build purpose-driven businesses.

If/Then: Research findings to help us navigate complex issues in business, leadership, and society
This week on If/Then, we're sharing an episode of The Future of Everything, a podcast hosted by Stanford School of Engineering professor and friend of the show Russ Altman.Everyone has goals — some are monumental, others modest — but every goal matters. Szu-chi Huang, an associate professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is an expert on sustaining enthusiasm for individuals, customers, and employees across global corporations and organizations.On this episode, Huang shares what it takes to stay motivated over time — not just at the beginning of a goal, when energy runs high, or at the end, when the finish line is in sight, but through the toughest part: the middle. She explains why motivation is a dynamic process that requires different tools at different stages, and offers practical advice drawn from her research on everything from retirement savings and loyalty programs to children's health and social apps. Along the way, she and Altman explore how purpose, progress, and even a little social pressure can help us keep going — and how AI might someday coach us through.More Resources: Szu-chi Huang, faculty profile & If/Then episode Russ Altman, faculty profile The Future of EverythingIf/Then is a podcast from Stanford Graduate School of Business that examines research findings that can help us navigate the complex issues we face in business, leadership, and society.Chapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionRuss Altman introduces Szu-Chi Huang, professor of marketing at Stanford GSB.(00:03:31) Studying MotivationSzu-chi shares what led her to study motivational science(00:04:03) Defining MotivationMotivation as the drive to close the gap between current and ideal self.(00:04:57) The Science of MotivationStudying motivation through behavioral and neurological data.(00:05:48) Why It Matters in BusinessHow motivation science applies to leaders, teams, and customers.(00:06:39) Motivation FrameworkThe strategies needed in order to stay motivated over time.(00:07:42) The Mindset of MotivationThe different mindsets needed throughout the stages of motivation.(00:09:21) Motivating Kids to Choose HealthyA Collaboration with UNICEF to study what motivates children.(00:10:55) Gamified Coupons in PanamaA study using gamified coupons to influence children's food choices.(00:14:26) Loyalty Programs as MotivationHow customer reward programs act as structured goal journeys.(00:16:47) Progress Versus PurposeThe different incentives needed in each stage of loyalty programs.(00:18:29) Retirement Saving LessonsHow financial institutions apply motivational science to long-term goals.(00:21:12) Motivation in Social ContextThe role of social connections in goal pursuit and sustaining motivation.(00:26:10) Designing Apps for MotivationHow redesigning user interfaces can help users stay motivated.(00:27:20) AI as a Motivation CoachUsing AI to personalize feedback across all stages of goal pursuit.(00:30:09) Starting and Sustaining a GoalPractical strategies for launching and sustaining a goal.(00:31:57) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jess Fenton unpacks the often-misunderstood energetic patterns that emerge in spiritual businesses hovering around the $1M–$2M revenue mark. Far from being a matter of burnout, Jess reveals that what's actually happening is a dense projection field entangling the business owner with their clients, audience, and identity.Drawing parallels between business and romantic relationships, Jess explores the honeymoon period, karmic contracts, and the subtle yet powerful shift into codependency that silently kills expansion. This episode offers a wake-up call and a way through — especially if your business is starting to feel heavier, your launches aren't hitting, or your creativity has dulled.She also shares why she's opted out of the spiritual community, how projection affects your nervous system and visibility, and why overgiving is blocking the next level of wealth.Whether you're moving toward $5M+ or simply want to clear space for speed, precision, and lightness — this conversation will rewire how you hold your business and yourself.✨ In this episode, you'll learn:Why $1–$2M/year is the densest point in business energetically — and how to dissolve itThe surprising link between romantic relationships and your client relationshipsWhy Jess rejects the healing identity — and what she chooses insteadHow the coaching industry accidentally creates projection fields and resentmentThe truth about overgiving, responsibility, and martyrdom in spiritual businessHow to restructure your business to support freedom, fun, and expansive incomeThe energetic architecture behind clear launches and effortless money flow

Send us a textIn this inspiring episode of Palm Harbor Local, host Donnie Hathaway chats with Kelly Cloward, the owner of two Crumbl Cookie franchises—one right here in Palm Harbor. Kelly opens up about his unconventional path from construction management and door-to-door sales to running one of the most buzzed-about cookie shops in the country.Originally from Utah, Kelly shares how his entrepreneurial spirit was sparked by a childhood friend's business-owning family and strengthened by years of life experience, a mission abroad, and even a failed first venture in construction. That path ultimately led him and his cousin to bring Crumbl Cookies to Florida, where they've made Palm Harbor their home.In this conversation, Kelly gets real about the challenges of entrepreneurship—like quitting too soon, starting from scratch, and the trade-offs of running a franchise. He also talks about building community through business, the importance of mentorship, and why Palm Harbor quickly became the perfect place to live, raise a family, and grow his brand.What You'll Learn:Why Kelly traded a steady job in construction for the uncertain life of a franchise ownerThe pros and cons of buying into a franchise vs. starting your own businessHow a failed construction company helped prepare him for successWhat it takes to thrive in the early stages of a franchiseThe value of community, support systems, and choosing the right locationWhy Palm Harbor stood out as the ideal place for his business and familyLinks & Resources:Visit Crumbl Cookies: crumblcookies.comLearn more about Palm Harbor Local: palmharborlocal.comJoin the weekly newsletter: Sign Up HereFollow us on Instagram: @palmharborlocalStroll through the laid-back streets of the Palm Harbor community with this informative podcast, proudly brought to you by Donnie Hathaway with The Hathaway Group, your trusted guide and local expert in navigating the diverse and ever-changing property landscape of Palm Harbor.

Send us a textWe're all out here chasing leads and trying to crack the visibility code... But what if the biggest opportunity in your business is already on your books?This episode was sparked by a DM I got asking: “How do I market to my existing clients?” And honestly… what a bloody great question.Because the clients you've already got? They're the ones most likely to buy again, refer you, and sing your praises. (If you're doing it right, that is.)In this episode, I unpack why focusing on your current clients can be one of the most powerful (and underused) strategies in your marketing toolkit.Whether it's onboarding, offboarding or all those moments in between — there's gold in your client journey if you know where to look.Key Topics Covered:Why marketing to existing clients matters more than you thinkHow to map out your client journey and identify key touch pointsOnboarding strategies that build trust and loyaltyOffboarding tactics that lead to referrals and repeat businessHow to create memorable experiences with your unique brand touchWays to automate nurturing post-project or post-purchaseUsing testimonials, case studies and feedback as marketing toolsOne Key Takeaway: It's easier (and cheaper) to keep a client than win a new one. Map the client experience, find the gaps, and make marketing part of every stage of the journey.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

What if growing your property management business wasn't about more social posts or flashy ads but instead about smart video content that saves you time, positions you as the expert, and actually helps your clients?Video is no longer optional, we're living in a screen first world, where attention is short and competition is high. If you're still relying solely on proposals you're leaving trust, visibility, and leads on the table.If video content has been sitting on your “should probably do it one day” list, this episode will light the fire you need within you. I chat with Clint Ranse who is the Creative Director of My Video Producer, helping real estate agents and brands create high-impact video content that connects and converts. He's the founder of Videos of Value, a program that helps agents batch 12 months of content in just two days, and host of the Creativity That Converts podcast. With a background in special effects design for global tours and major events, Clint knows how to create unforgettable moments on stage and on screen.Most property managers are overwhelmed and under-resourced. Creating video content might sound like ‘one more thing' but Clint explains how Property Managers can use YouTube to save time, cut down repetitive questions, reduce maintenance calls, support your team and build long term relationships with investors and tenants without needing to be a YouTube pro to get started.“ I love YouTube because it catches people at a different point. It's not catching people when they're bored, sitting on their couch scrolling. It's catching people when they're actively searching. So it's bringing them to you when they're in a different phase of life. So if you are looking at sales, it's when they're searching things like downsizing their property or buying my first home. If you're looking at it on the property management side, it's creating content.” -Clint Ranse We explore:Why video is the most powerful content tool for property managers in today's screen heavy worldWhy YouTube is more than just a social platform it's a search engine, and it's where future clients are already lookingWhat kind of content actually performs and it's not the high end fancy stuff you think!How one agency used YouTube videos and QR codes to reduce incoming calls and save timeThe real benefit of creating video it's not just about getting new businessHow to batch 6 12 months of content in a single day with Clint's teamWhy now is the perfect time to get ahead before AI search models change the way people find agents onlineEasy, low-pressure ways to get started even if you hate being on cameraKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:...
