Steve Carrier spent decades lifting heavy and hated cardio for a long time. When COVID closed the gyms, he started hiking and kayaking with his wife, and after she mentioned a 5K she wanted to do, he decided to give running a try. That race never happened, but Steve fell in love with running anyway. A few months in, he found the Central Mass Striders through a Facebook group, and their Sunday long runs slowly built him from a 3.5-mile loop to a half marathon, a year full of halves, and eventually the Bay State Marathon in Lowell, Massachusetts.Training with that group brought one new longest run after another, along with a miserable 13 miles in the rain and a nerve-wracking first 20-miler. But race day was a different story, and the trouble started early. Steve talks through what kept him moving, how he felt when it was over, and why one rough day didn't take away from everything it took to get to the start line.Follow along with Steve Carrier: @scarrier1999Follow along with the show: 

Have you heard this from a client? "The other guy can do it cheaper." or "They have an all-in-one package for the venue, photographer, and planner." blah blah blah.We've all heard these types of objections from clients probably at least once in our careers, and so how do you still win over the client, even when you're NOT the cheapest option?In this live coaching call with a photographer named Rebecca, we tackle exactly how to handle these situations, what to actually say back to them, and how to attract a better client in the first place.

Aimee spent over a decade running half marathons, one a year, showing up and enjoying the distance without chasing a specific time. It started with a charity flyer that landed in her parents' mailbox when she was twenty one, tied to a disease for a cause she cares a lot about, and that was enough to get her to sign up for her first half marathon. She kept coming back to the distance year after year, watching a coworker take on marathon training and deciding early on that the full distance wasn't for her.Then her husband asked why she wasn't running a full, and a PR in Charlotte gave her the confidence to finally sign up for one. She picked her fortieth birthday as the day and chose Eugene as the race, training through the winter months to get there. Everyone warned her about the wall waiting at mile twenty, and she spent the back half of the race bracing for it to hit (spoiler! It never did)Follow along with Aimee Jones: @ayogamamaFollow along with the show:

Martin Dugard has been running since the early 1970s, but it all traces back to one moment at eleven years old, watching Frank Shorter win the 1972 Olympic marathon and being so moved he ran straight outside in his jeans for four miles. From there it was 5Ks, 10Ks, and a half marathon at White Rock in Dallas, until a marathon started to feel like the obvious next step. Martin went on to become a longtime running coach and a bestselling author, though for years his book career had nothing to do with running at all. That changed with his new book, The Long Run, which traces the sport's history from ancient Greece all the way to today's running boom.His first marathon came during his senior year of high school, squeezed into the gap between cross country and track season with barely any of the mileage a marathon really calls for. What he carried into that race, and what it left him with by the finish line, ended up shaping the way he thinks about running and coaching for decades afterward. We get into all of it, along with what pulled him back to writing about the sport after building a career writing about everything else.Follow along with Martin Dugard: @authormartindugardGet The Long Run! https://www.martindugard.com/Follow along with the show: 

Hiring help should make your business easier. But if you do it wrong, it can create more stress, more confusion, and more work. In this solo episode, I break down three mistakes I keep seeing mortgage brokers make when they hire an assistant or underwriter. These came directly from coaching conversations with brokers who are already doing good volume and trying to build more capacity without creating a mess. In This Episode, I Cover: Hiring Too Late - Why waiting until you are completely overwhelmed usually makes the hiring process harder. Confusing People Problems With Process Problems - How unclear systems can make a good hire look like the wrong hire. Not Creating Clear Ownership - Why overlapping responsibilities create unnecessary friction for both the broker and the assistant. The Daily Pipeline Review - A simple 15-minute habit that can keep files moving and prevent small issues from becoming bigger ones. How to Prioritize the Right Work - Why both you and your assistant should leave each day knowing the three most important things to get done. Hiring someone is only part of the solution. You also need clear processes, clear ownership, and a simple rhythm for keeping the work moving. — We're bringing BrokerTalks back to Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary this fall.

Jay spent years playing soccer and dabbled in other sports, but running itself was never her thing until she signed up for a local 5K in her off season as another way to move. That race quickly turned into a half marathon in DC, and crossing that finish line left her with one very unexpected thought: she could probably go further. So she set her sights on the New York City Marathon, and started to poke around charities that she could apply for and along the way found an organization that would allow her to run for her uncle. He had always been active, and Jay saw a shot at running in his honor when she applied for a charity bib with ALS United's Greater New York chapter.Training through a brutal, humid summer tested her in ways she didn't expect, and she leaned on a running buddy, a rewards system built around her favorite snacks, and a mantra she repeated when the miles got long. But nothing quite prepared her for what race day itself would throw at her. Between the nerves, the heat, and a curveball she never saw coming, Jay had to find a completely different way to get to that finish line than the one she'd trained for.Follow along with Jay Wood: @fit.w.jayyFollow along with the show:

Episode 680 Schedule a one on one free coaching call, click here or visit LoanOfficerStrategyCall.com. Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White explains why having a coach and actually using a coach effectively are two very different things. Too many loan officers spend valuable coaching time giving updates about their week instead of using that time to uncover blind spots, simplify their plan, and identify the activities that will actually create more business. Carl shares five questions every loan officer should take into their next coaching call. These questions are designed to help you identify what you may be missing, uncover the money-making activities you are avoiding, simplify what you have made too complicated, and determine exactly what you should be held accountable to before your next call. He also explains why a great coaching call should leave you with fewer things to do, not more. Instead of walking away with a long list of ideas, the goal is to identify one or two needle-bending activities that create conversations, referrals, applications, and closings. Whether you currently have a coach or are simply looking for a better way to evaluate your own business, this episode will help you ask better questions, take clearer action, and get more value from coaching.

Hunter didn't set out to become a runner. He joined his high school's cross country team on a whim (mostly because his friends were doing it) and discovered he loved being part of a group more than he loved the actual running. That pull toward community followed him through college, a couple years teaching in Korea, and eventually back to North Carolina, where a local run club led him to Ainsley's Angels. Pushing other runners through races so they could cross the finish line changed how he saw the sport entirely, and it planted the seed for chasing a marathon of his own.Hunter went into the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh without a real time goal, just a plan to find the 4:30 pace group and stick with them for as long as he could. That plan hit a snag before he even reached the start line, but he pushed on regardless.. He leaned on that same pacer to get through the miles that followed, one mile at a time, and at the end of the day ended up a marathoner. Follow along with Hunter Pardue: @runhuntrunLearn more about Ainsley's Angels: https://ainsleysangels.org/Follow along with the show:

You probably already know what you need to do. The problem is not information. It is the story underneath your actions. In this solo episode, I break down the SEAR framework: Story, Emotion, Action, Result. If you are not getting the result you want in your business, health, relationships, or money, the issue may be a disempowering belief that is quietly keeping one foot on the brake. In this episode, I cover: The SEAR Framework - How your story creates an emotion, which drives your actions and ultimately your results. Why More Tactics Are Not Always the Answer - If the underlying belief is working against you, a new strategy will only get you so far. How Disempowering Beliefs Show Up - The stories you tell yourself about money, relationships, business, or referral partners can shape how you behave. The “Foot on the Brake” Problem - You can say you want growth while unconsciously doing things that keep you stuck. How to Uncover the Story - A simple exercise can help you identify whether your current beliefs are empowering, neutral, or holding you back. If you are not getting the result you want, do not just change the action.  Start by asking what story is driving it, then replace the belief that is keeping your foot on the brake. — We're bringing BrokerTalks back to Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary this fall.

Sierra grew up in a running family and found her own love for the sport through a middle school team in Georgia. She ran through high school and rediscovered it years later during a hard stretch in college, but just as she was building back toward a half marathon, her body threw her a curveball.A case of long COVID sent her heart rate soaring to 175 just from walking, and running immediately had to take a back seat. It took her two years to feel like herself again, and by no means was that comeback easy. When she finally toed the line in Chicago, she went in with a mindset rooted in joy rather than performance, and it shaped everything about how her race day unfolded.Follow along with Sierra: @sierra.vonFollow along with the show:

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. This episode is a little different. Instead of a solo teaching episode, you're getting a real, unfiltered look inside a bonus group coaching call from Elizabeth's program, Elevate. It's an honest look at what it actually takes when you're growing your business on social media and the results aren't showing up the way you hoped.   This episode is for you if you've ever wondered whether you're the only one whose Instagram isn't converting, whether you should be leaning into long form content vs short form content, or whether it's too late to name the next chapter of your business out loud. Elizabeth walks a group of her Elevate members through a handful of simple journal prompts, and what comes up is honest, funny, and deeply relatable. You'll hear real business owners talk through new offers, fear, imposter syndrome, and the discomfort of showing up when nobody's watching yet.   Elizabeth also shares her own thirteen years of experimenting in real time, including a story about TikTok that proves persistence pays off even when the results feel invisible. If you've been waiting for permission to be new at something, to change direction, or to simply keep going, this episode is that permission.   Press play, grab a journal, and let whatever comes up for you be enough.

This one's for all my fall marathoners who are deep in training right now!! I'm pulling together my full survival guide for running your first marathon, five things I wish someone had told me before my own first one. We're talking fueling strategy (and why the back half of the race is where it really matters), why respecting your easy pace is about more than just your fitness, and why the bad runs in your training block might actually be the most useful ones you have. If you're in the thick of a block right now and need a little reset, this one's for you.Follow along with the show: 

In this episode, I sat down with Elise Kirk to explore her journey with emotional eating, a coping mechanism that reveals more about deeper unmet needs than a lack of discipline. As a mother of five, Elise candidly shared how her struggles with dysregulation affect her everyday life, leading us to uncover the wisdom hidden in her behaviors. Our conversation delved into understanding how seemingly negative habits can be symptoms of stress, social rejection, and overwhelming demands. Through our discussion, I found myself reflecting on the importance of self-compassion over self-criticism. Together, we identified practical ways Elise could start addressing her depleted energy levels, focusing on true self-care beyond the surface. This episode is not only about recognizing the roots of one's habits but also about holding space for personal growth in a way that's meaningful and realistic.

Barry Scruggs came to running with his wife after some health struggles when they decided to make change happen together. It started with a Spartan race , and that single decision opened the door to a running life neither of them expected, eventually pulling them into Charlotte's trail and ultra running community and setting Barry on the path toward his first marathon.By the time race day arrived, training wasn't the hard part. Days before the Charlotte Marathon, Barry was diagnosed with bronchitis that had turned into pneumonia, and both his doctor and his wife told him not to race. He toed the line anyway, and what followed became one of the hardest tests he's ever faced on a course. Somewhere in the miles that came next, Barry learned what his body could actually carry him through when his mind wanted to quit, a lesson he still leans on today.Follow along with Barry Scruggs and his run club on Instagram: @runbear_runnc@locolocal.runclubFollow along with the show:
