It's been five years since I first called myself a minimalist. A lot has changed since then: my work, my family, and how I see the world. In this episode, I reflect on why I still choose minimalism, even when life gets messy, why it remains one of the most powerful tools I have to keep things simple, and how one simple question continues to keep me grounded in what matters most.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

Send us a textIn this week's episode we discussed how consumer culture, emotional attachment, and clever marketing have led to a nation buried in stuff. Americans are surrounded by more possessions than ever before, from overstuffed closets to overflowing storage units. We talk about clutter, psychology, and minimalism to uncover why we keep accumulating—and what it might take to finally let go.Our Links:Retrospect
I'm back with Hannah Brown to talk about enoughness. How the personal development space wants people to always feel behind, like there's more to optimize and improve on instead of helping people be at peace with their quircks and flaws and not view life as a relentless pursuit of constant improvement. We also tie this into consumerism and how it's rooted in the same mindset of 'lack' and 'once I own this thing, then I'll feel happy' and how that cycle keeps us similarly trapped in never feeling like we are enough or have enough.

David, Jono and I talk about what it means to be a sellout in the modern era. If that term even exists anymore in our fields. David is a magic the gathering player and a poet, and Jono is a singer/songwriter. All of us look at the term quite differently, because of our backgrounds but also because Jono is a bit younger than David and I.
What if the most toxic thing in your home isn't a chemical—but a mindset? Clean living advocate and first-time author Lindsay Dahl returns to unpack the nuanced middle ground of wellness, environmental health, and personal agency. Together, we explore the emotional toll of trying to “do it all right,” the dangers of black-and-white thinking in the age of social media, and why real change takes both individual action and systemic accountability. We talk spatulas and seed oils, fast fashion and flame retardants, fear and freedom—and why being a pragmatist in today's digital landscape is both radical and necessary. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture or simply want to think more critically about what's in your home and how it gets there, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a call to thoughtful action. 0:00 | Framing the Problem with Balance 2:20 | Education, Policy, and the Role of Media 5:40 | Health vs. Science: A Cultural Disconnect 8:06 | Control, Consumerism, and Systemic Change 11:25 | Fast Fashion as a Microcosm 14:12 | Inside “Cleaning House”: Book Preview 18:41 | The Cost of Speaking Up 23:38 | Reclaiming Community and Dialogue 26:25 | Closing and Call to Action Find Lindsay: lindsaydahl.com instagram.com/lindsay_dahl linkedin.com/in/lindsay-dahl-3617076 Pre-order Lindsay's book "Cleaning House: The Fight to Rid Our Homes of Toxic Chemicals" almost anywhere books are sold, releases 8/5/25 Find Stacy: realeverything.com instagram.com/realstacytoth missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Girls, it's our time to take over sports! In this episode, I dive into the power females have over sports leagues from viewership to the spending power and sponsorships we bring in from a consumer psychology standpoint. I use Formula 1, my sport of choice, as an example for how females have changed the landscape for the sport and sport revenue. It is beyond something as simple as jersey sales like Taylor Swift did for Travis Kelce because there is more to this than copying and pasting fandoms to a league when you want longevity of female viewership and spending power in your sport. It's a science, a formula if you will.

Healing your inner child is one thing but giving in to every trending collectible might be saying more than you think, because the truth is, it is affecting your spending! This episode is not to deprive you of the fun, but to help you understand how these trendy (and sometimes irresistible) collectibles have hidden consequences and smart ways of luring you in.
In this episode of the Shine Brighter Together podcast, Monique Melton dives into a conversation many folks are unsure how to start—talking with children about money, overconsumption, and the values we want them to hold. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone with kids in your life, Monique invites you to consider how your own early experiences with money might still shape your habits today—and how that impacts the children watching and learning from you. From doing a personal inventory to noticing how kids respond to money conversations, Monique offers approachable ways to talk about needs vs. wants, build healthier attitudes about consumerism, and teach values like contentment, resource-sharing, and thoughtful spending. She also explores the importance of raising children with values that don't rely on constant buying, especially in a world designed to promote consumption at every turn. Tune in to learn how to make space for these meaningful conversations in everyday moments, and hear why being different from the status quo isn't a bad thing—it's often where real growth begins.
Jesse explores the value of financial priorities and the balance between spending and saving with guests Diania Merriam, Justin Peters, Bill Yount, Jeremy Schneider, Doc G, and Joe Saul-Sehy. Diania highlights the “iceberg principle” of stealth wealth—how true wealth is often what you don't see, like deferred purchases and unspent money. Justin shares a personal story about the cost and memories of boat ownership, emphasizing the lesson to buy utility and rent luxury. Bill discusses the different seasons of life in relation to frugality and spending, while Jeremy reflects on ingrained money habits persisting despite sudden wealth. Doc G and Joe Saul-Sehy add their unique perspectives on personal finance and the emotional relationship with money. Together, they unpack how financial decisions shape our lives, the importance of aligning spending with values, and the lessons learned from both scrimping and splurging. Key Takeaways: • Financial freedom doesn't always come with a clear sense of how to enjoy money meaningfully. • Renting luxury experiences can be more satisfying and economical than owning them. • Time, health, and family often become more valuable than money as people grow older. • Community and shared experiences often bring more satisfaction than expensive possessions. Lifestyle upgrades need to be aligned with personal values to feel meaningful. • Former spendthrifts can struggle just as much with letting go of financial vigilance. • Understanding your money story is key to shifting your habits and mindset with intention. Even the financially savvy can be blindsided by lifestyle creep and emotional spending.

Join Jacki and Marissa as they celebrate another favorite Ghouls streaming service: Shudder. This all horror channel has been a JG staple for years, and it brings together the best older horror classics as well as the best in indie and Shudder produced horror. Specifically, they ghouls tackle the 2023 Shudder Original The Sacrifice Game. A surprisingly fun play on home invastion and demon possession films. They also talk Mandy, a 2018 Shudder darling. Marissa gushes over the trippy artistry of the film while Jacki celebrates both the softer side of Nic Cage as well as his unhinged crazy side. And while Jacki criticizes the influencer, capitalism driven cults of consumption that define modern America Marissa sadly misses the point and ironically begs those very same companies for sponsorship (But seriously...

The principal focus of this podcast episode revolves around the contentious issue of whether Christians should financially support organizations that may be deemed heretical through normal commerce. We engage in a profound exploration of the implications of patronizing entities such as Angel Studios, which is affiliated with Mormonism, and how this intersects with the consumption of music produced by groups like Bethel or Hillsong, known for their controversial theological positions. Throughout our discussion, we emphasize the necessity of approaching these matters with discernment and a clear understanding of the potential theological ramifications of our choices. We also reflect on the broader cultural context in which Christians navigate these decisions, considering the challenges of living in a world where nearly all forms of entertainment and media may inadvertently support contrary beliefs. Ultimately, we aim to equip our listeners with a framework for making informed decisions that align with their faith and convictions.Takeaways: The Christian podcast community engages in theological discussions with an emphasis on love and charity, despite differing beliefs. The central topic of the episode revolves around whether Christians should support potentially heretical organizations through commerce. Angel Studios, which is Mormon-affiliated, raises the question of whether Christians should financially support their films and music. There is a tension between enjoying content produced by heretical groups and the potential consequences of endorsing their teachings. Critical thinking is essential when consuming media; discerning the theological implications of songs and movies is important. Music from organizations like Bethel or Hillsong, while popular, may carry problematic theological messages that warrant caution in church settings.
Could Hispanic spirituality be the gift your parish needs? In this episode, I sit down with Deacon Gregorio Elizalde, who leads Hispanic Ministry for the Archdiocese of Omaha. We talk about what really makes Hispanic ministry tick—and spoiler alert—it's not just about translating resources into Spanish. It's about receiving culture, building trust, and forming real relationships. Deacon Gregorio shares powerful insights into how many Hispanic Catholics show up with this deep, family-rooted faith that's joyful, sacrificial, and incredibly contagious. There's a deep sense of devotion, hospitality, and joy, even in the midst of hardship in Hispanic Catholic communities. And honestly, their ability to evangelize through relationships, through retreats, through just showing up with love—that's a gift we desperately need in the Church today. If you're leading in a parish, or just want to understand how to better welcome and walk with our Hispanic brothers and sisters, this conversation will open your eyes and maybe even shift your heart.

Today's episode, “De-Influenced: The Power of Minimalism in a World of Exhausting Consumerism,” with host, Lindsey Maestas, and author and mom-of-four Julia Ubbenga, invites listeners to consider the freedom found in having less stuff. They talk about the temptation of Influencer hauls, consumer culture, how clothes in your closet can suck joy and peace from you, and so much more. Julia shares how her family gave away 75% of their belongings in pursuit of a simpler, more intentional life. We discuss her book, Rich in What Matters, which walks through the process of simplifying not just your physical space, but also your soul, mind, and relationships. Julia speaks to the cultural overwhelm of “more, more, more,” and how minimalism has reoriented her faith, motherhood, and marriage. We also give practical tips for simplifying daily life as busy moms, the mental load of parenting, and how saying no to excess has helped her say yes to what truly matters. The abundant life Jesus promises often begins with subtraction. Whether you're drowning in toys, trapped in comparison on Instagram, or just craving more peace in your home and marriage, this episode will remind you that less really can be more.
Rival Worldviews (Part 3) - Consumerism, Expressive Individualism, and Tribalism by Taylors FBC
On today's Sustainability In Your Ear, meet Brenna Simmons-St. Onge, a systems strategist, regenerative futurist, and founder of B the Light Consulting, as we explore her family's extraordinary three-year journey around the world. The Regenerative World Quest isn't your typical travel adventure; it's a deliberate mission to identify, amplify, and help replicate Earth's most promising regenerative communities and projects. From Costa Rica to South Africa, she and her family engage with leaders, learn from Indigenous knowledge holders, and discover models that regenerate land, restore community agency, and reconnect people to purpose. Brenna's aim is to demonstrate how regeneration—not just mitigation—can serve as our organizing principle for addressing the climate crisis.Rather than extracting experiences as tourists, Brenna and her family integrate into the places they visit, contributing through forms of meaningful exchange. Her key insight is that true abundance comes from within—our creativity, generosity, and the love we share with others and the planet. Thee regenerative communities she's visited focus on building a prosperity based on relationships, ecological health, and community resilience rather than accumulating material possessions. The Regenerative World Quest will culminate in a documentary series and practical playbook that others can use to live more lightly on the planet, thinking seven generations ahead following Indigenous traditions. To follow Brenna's journey and learn from the regenerative communities she discovers, visit https://bthelightconsulting.com/ or follow her on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Guest: Pamela James, CEO & Founder of Paloma St. JamesIt's no mystery that industrialization has a negative impact on the environment; however, an unexpected contributor is the fashion industry.

Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.

The conversation explores how dentists should evaluate partnerships, the impact of consumerism on practices, challenges facing solo practitioners, and the importance of strong leadership in navigating the evolving dental industry TAKEAWAYS LightWave is America's only Dental Leadership Organization (DLO). Labor inflation has significantly impacted the dental industry. Dentistry is resilient and can withstand economic fluctuations. The importance of understanding earn-outs and financial risks in DSO agreements. Stability in the market is becoming increasingly important for investors.

In this episode of the Cars and Kicks Show, hosts Jacques, Erik, and Nick explore various themes surrounding sneakers and cars, including the legacy of the Air Jordan, the authenticity in storytelling, and the recent rebranding efforts by Jaguar. They also discuss the acquisition of Foot Locker by Dick's Sporting Goods and the implications of such corporate moves on the sneaker culture. The conversation is lively, with personal anecdotes and insights into the evolving landscape of both industries, culminating in a surprise guest appearance!Chapters00:00 Creative Beginnings and Sneaker Culture02:57 The Importance of Authenticity in Storytelling05:51 Jaguar's Rebranding Journey12:02 The Impact of Rebranding in the Automotive Industry17:59 Sneaker Pricing Trends and Market Dynamics27:20 The Price of Nostalgia30:12 The Impact of Nostalgia on Value33:35 Authenticity and Personal Connections39:43 Consumerism vs. Nostalgia46:49 The Foot Locker and Dick's Sporting Goods AcquisitionAll of the links you need: https://www.carsxkicks.comThe Cars and Kicks Show is hosted by:Jacques Slade is a multifaceted creator that explores the world of footwear and sports through the lens of culture.

In this sermon, we explore the reality that Christians are called to bear one another's burdens in such a way that we are participating in one another's sanctification.As disciples of Jesus who are filled with the Spirit, Christians are called to bear one another's burdens. But what exactly does that mean? And why, a few verses later, does Scripture exhort us that "each will have to bear his own load" (Galatians 6:5)? Series Description: Clericalism & Consumerism are two ever-present dangers for the church. Clericalism over-emphasizes the role of priests, bishops, and pastors, leaving ministry to “the professionals.” Consumerism causes us to relate to the church as a vendor of goods & services. To counteract these tendencies, we need to understand the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to live out the call to "welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you."Throughout his ministry, Jesus Christ welcomed both outsiders and insiders, both the tax collector and the religious scribe. His ministry broke down social, political, and economic barriers. And because Jesus is our Great High Priest, his followers, who have received the welcome of Christ, are called to embody the same welcome and hospitality. Preaching Series Summary: Clericalism & Consumerism are two ever-present dangers for the church. Clericalism over-emphasizes the role of priests, bishops, and pastors, leaving ministry to “the professionals.” Consumerism causes us to relate to the church as a vendor of goods & services. To counteract these tendencies, we need to understand the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

The CPGGUYS are joined in this episode by Shaan Modi, from New Jersey. Shaan is still in high school but was spotted by us at CAGNY (the annual consumer analysts gathering with senior CPG brand leaders) down in Florida in February. We observed him attend several sessions, and we quite surprised to see someone from Gen Z in this conference. We asked him what he thought, and his answers both intrigued and challenged our own biases of how he saw the notion of a 'brand'. We decided to bring him on the pod, he agreed, here is the episode. Enjoy the listen to what Gen Z thinks of the many brands we have spent decades building.Here's what we asked Shaan : Personal Experience & Perspective : What inspired you, as an 18-year-old, to attend CAGNY 2025, and how did you prepare to get the most out of it? Were there any moments during the conference that shifted your opinion about a brand or product?Health & Wellness Trends :Do you think the current “better-for-you” trends reflect authentic health concerns among Gen Z—or are they still mostly marketing tactics?Marketing Strategy : Which brand do you think best understands Gen Z in terms of digital-first marketing, and what made it stand out? How important is authenticity in influencer marketing to you and your peers? What makes something feel “forced” versus genuine?Innovation & Missed Opportunities : You pointed out how companies missed TikTok trends—why do you think they're slow to adapt, even when the data is right there? Do you think there's a risk in brands trying too hard to be trendy or viral? What's the right balance?If you could advise General Mills on a single product innovation to better appeal to Gen Z, what would it be?Product Development & Personalization : How important is personalization in food products for Gen Z? Would you actually use something like a custom snack box?Cultural & Social Relevance : What's one cultural or social movement you feel CPG brands are completely missing out on when it comes to Gen Z? Which viral food trend do you think has the most untapped brand potential right now?Vision for the Future : If you were to attend CAGNY 2030, what changes or evolutions would you hope to see in how brands engage with your generation?Personal Experience & Perspective?

In this week's episode of The Fierce Factor, I'm unpacking one of the most important conversations I've had in a long time—how to lead, build, and sustain a thriving aesthetic or wellness business in the midst of a rapidly shifting economy. Fresh off our annual ALT Experience, I've been reflecting on what it really means to be a female founder today. When I asked a room of powerhouse women how many of them had a grandmother who built a million-dollar business, not a single hand went up. That moment reminded me: we're not just building businesses—we're building a legacy. In this episode, I'm sharing the truth about what I'm seeing across the industry right now—hesitation, fear, slower consumer decision-making, and increased competition. But I'm also sharing what I believe are the three most important strategies every founder needs to implement right now: Leaning into strategic advisory and support—because navigating uncertainty is not a solo sport Getting honest about who your A-players are and doubling down on profitable team structure Elevating your messaging to magnetize and retain high-value, recession-resistant clients If you're feeling the pressure of growth in today's climate, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through exactly how I'm thinking about the economy, how I'm advising our clients to prepare for what's ahead, and what it takes to stay in the game and come out stronger. And if you're ready to get serious about your next level, join me for the Spring cohort of Confidence to Scale. It starts May 6th—learn more at klcconsultants.com/scale.
