I'm sitting down with Alicia Sanchez, founder of Felicita & Faustina studio shop, marketing expert with 20+ years in the game (American Express, ESPN, Klaviyo — the girl's got credentials), and now a full-time entrepreneur living her best life in Southern Spain with her wife and six-year-old daughter. She bought a house. In cash. For under $70K. And she wants you to know it's more doable than you think.We get into the real — not the Instagram-filtered version. The financial planning, the digital nomad visa process, what attorneys actually cost (hint: not $10K), the tax reality, and why the thing that changed her life the most wasn't the house or the visa.

Episode Overview Burnout is pushing executives to rethink their careers. But most make one critical mistake: they try to escape too fast. In this episode, Michael D. Levitt speaks with Matt Raad, digital investor and co-founder of eBusiness Institute, about how corporate professionals can transition into digital assets and online businesses without risking their income. This is not about quitting your job. It is about building a second engine of income and optionality. Why Burnout Is Driving the Shift to Digital Assets Burnout is no longer isolated. It is systemic. Key pattern: Mid to senior leaders in large organizations are experiencing sustained overload Pandemic-era changes accelerated fatigue and disengagement High earners are seeking control, not just income The result: Leaders are looking for exit options that do not create financial instability. The Core Strategy: Build Before You Exit Matt outlines a disciplined transition model: Maintain your corporate income Build a digital asset over 2 to 3 years Replace income gradually Exit only when the asset is stable This avoids: Financial pressure Poor decision-making Reactive career moves This is a structured transition, not an escape plan. What Is a Digital Asset Business? A digital asset is a business that can operate with minimal physical infrastructure. Examples: Content-based websites Online courses Affiliate and SEO-driven platforms Acquired online businesses Key characteristics: Scalable Transferable Lower operating costs Location independent This aligns directly with a leadership operating system: build systems that run without constant intervention. The Financial Advantage: Low-Cost Entry, High Leverage Traditional businesses require: Large capital investments Physical locations Staffing overhead Digital businesses: Can start under $10K to $20K Require fewer fixed costs Allow testing before scaling This reduces risk and increases strategic flexibility. The Critical Mistake: Skipping Foundations AI is accelerating business creation. But it is also creating a false sense of competence. Matt emphasizes: AI tools can build faster But they cannot replace business fundamentals Without understanding: Market demand Customer acquisition Conversion systems …AI amplifies bad strategy. AI as a Force Multiplier, Not a Shortcut Tools like CoWork are changing the game: Faster business setup Automated workflows Scalable content creation But the advantage goes to those who: Understand business models Apply AI strategically Build systems, not hacks AI reduces friction. It does not replace leadership. New Opportunity: Digital Advisors for Traditional Businesses One overlooked opportunity: Corporate professionals can become: Digital transformation advisors Online growth strategists AI integration consultants For: Brick-and-mortar businesses Local service providers Traditional industries This creates: Immediate income potential Skill development Entry into digital business ecosystems The Leadership Shift: From Operator to Asset Builder This conversation highlights a deeper shift: Traditional career path: Climb the ladder Increase compensation Increase dependency New model: Build assets Create optionality Reduce dependency This is not entrepreneurship for its own sake. It is control over time, income, and direction. Key Takeaways Do not quit your job to escape burnout Build a digital asset while maintaining income Focus on fundamentals before leveraging AI Use low-cost business models to test and learn Think like an asset builder, not just an employee Action Steps Assess your burnout level Is it role-based or system-based? Identify a digital asset model Content, course, acquisition, or advisory Allocate weekly build time Consistency over intensity Learn core business fundamentals Traffic, conversion, monetization Use AI to accelerate execution Not to replace thinking Guest Links Website: https://ebusinessinstitute.com.au Podcast: Digital Investors LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-raad/

In this episode, Sarah Lynn Thomas joins us from Portugal, reflecting on a whirlwind few weeks running retreats across Costa Rica, Mexico, and Europe, and offering rare insight into the world of Behold Retreats—a unique organisation specialising in plant medicine ceremonies. With a Western background in finance and crypto, Sarah Lynn Thomas brings both analytical rigour and deep personal experience to her work, championing ayahuasca, bufo, and psilocybin as powerful catalysts not just for healing trauma and mental health, but for unlocking personal expansion and self-awareness. The conversation traverses the intricate legal and ethical landscape of plant medicine, delving into why Behold operates in countries like Costa Rica, Mexico, and Portugal, and how the nuances of legality and regulation influence both access and the preservation of traditional practice. Sarah articulates what truly sets Behold apart: a devotion to the integration process—holding participants through the intensity of ceremony, ensuring that transformative insights take root long after they leave the retreat centre. Listeners are invited behind the curtain to explore the realities of facilitating healing in a global context—from fostering sustainable practices and community alliances to the rigorous screening necessary for safeguarding both individuals and groups. The episode moves beyond stereotypes, shining a light on the practicalities and paradoxes of consciousness work, from managing vulnerability as a leader to the evolving interplay between sovereignty, support, and collaboration. Whether you're curious about the intersection of ancient plant wisdom and modern wellbeing, re-evaluating your own relationship with personal growth, or simply seeking a candid dialogue about leadership, accountability, and transformation, this conversation with Sarah Lynn Thomas offers a thoughtful, grounded, and refreshingly human perspective.

Nancy O'Connor is building a comedy career the old-fashioned way. By bombing, writing, trying again, living with her 91-year-old great aunt, and realizing almost everything in life can become material if you are paying attention. In this episode of Design Of, Nancy talks about growing up in a big Irish Catholic family where getting heard at the dinner table was basically a competitive sport. She shares how her dad's full-body laugh shaped her sense of humor, why open mics are both terrifying and useful, and how living with her great aunt has become part roommate story, part sitcom, part writing lab. It's funny, but there's something real underneath it. Nancy is not pretending the path is clear. She is working it out in real time. Corporate jobs, comedy classes, silent open mics, family stories, dating in New York, and a 90+ year-old roommate who may or may not be the best unpaid writing partner in Brooklyn. And if nothing else, here's your takeaway: + Pay attention to your life. That's the material. + Even the weird parts. Especially the weird parts. + Because if Nancy can turn living with a 91-year-old roommate and arguing at the dinner table into a comedy career… you're probably sitting on something too. + You just have to be willing to write it down. In This Episode, We Explore + What it takes to build a stand-up career one open mic at a time + How growing up in a big family teaches you timing, volume, and survival + Why bombing is awful, helpful, and somehow part of the job + How Nancy's dad became both comedy influence and recurring material + Why the best stories usually come from real life, not perfect conditions + How to keep going when the room is silent and karaoke is apparently next Key Takeaways + A loud dinner table can be better training than a classroom + Sometimes the safest career path is the one that feels least alive + Your family may be your first audience and your most dangerous source material + Good comedy starts with paying attention + Bombing does not mean stop. It means rewrite About Nancy: Nancy O'Connor is a New York City-based stand-up comedian who is building her career through writing, performing, producing shows, and finding material in the everyday moments most people miss. Her comedy draws from family, dating, Catholic guilt, corporate life, and the strange gift of living with her 91-year-old great aunt. She has also been featured in Artists of New York in an episode titled “Comedy Over Corporate.”

You ever wake up, look at your calendar, and feel that sinking feeling in your gut? That dread knowing you've got a call with someone you just... don't vibe with? Yeah. I've been there. And it took me longer than I'd like to admit realizing that feeling meant I hired wrong. Here's the thing nobody tells you when you're building a business. You can have the best funnel, the cleanest offer, the most dialed-in content, and still feel completely miserable if you're surrounded by the wrong people. That's what this episode is all about. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down what I call the Beer Test. It's the single most important filter I run every potential hire, client, and mastermind member through. It's simple, it's maybe a little silly, but I promise you it works. And if you've ever made a bad hire, or you're terrified of making one, this is the episode you need to hear. The core idea is this. If I couldn't sit around a campfire, crack open a beer, and genuinely enjoy an hour of uninterrupted conversation with this person, I'm not bringing them into my world. No resume, no portfolio, no fancy credentials are going to override that gut check. Skills can be trained. Character can't. I get real in this episode about the mistakes I made early on in the Happy Hustle. I was working with people who were perfectly qualified on paper but had nothing in common with me or the culture I was building. Corporate grinders who wanted a business, clients I had zero connection with. The conversations were flat. The energy was off. And it dragged everything down. The moment I started filtering for personality first and skills second, everything shifted. There are also some cold hard numbers in here that'll wake you up fast. According to the US Department of Labor, one bad hire can cost you 30% of that person's first year salary. At the executive level, we're talking up to $240,000 in lost productivity, churn, and opportunity cost. That's real money walking out the door because you skipped the right filter. Most entrepreneurs spend more time picking out a truck than they do choosing a teammate. That stops now. The other thing I want you to think about is contagion. One person with bad energy, bad habits, or a bad attitude doesn't just underperform. They drag the whole team down with them. Late on tasks, missing meetings, not following through. It spreads. And by the time you realize what's happening, the damage is done. The Beer Test is my answer to all of that. It's not about whether someone's a perfect culture fit on paper. It's about whether I genuinely enjoy their company. Whether they've got their own perspective, bring real energy, and are the kind of person I'd actually want to spend time with. Because I do spend time with them. A lot of it. And life's too short to spend it working with people who drain you. So if you want to build a business you actually look forward to running, one where you open your calendar and get excited about who you're talking to that day, this one's for you.

We also sit down with Invesco's Hemant Baijal to discuss the global macro backdrop, the US dollar, and where he sees opportunities across rates, foreign currencies, and emerging markets.

Markets were driven by headlines from the Trump–Xi summit in Beijing, where progress on trade and a surprise easing of US chip export restrictions to major Chinese tech firms lifted sentiment, particularly in technology. European equities closed higher and US indices reached fresh record highs, supported by strong earnings from Cisco, although gains in Asia faded as rising Treasury yields and renewed rate hike expectations weighed on sentiment. Corporate news was mixed, while Crypto-related stocks rallied following regulatory progress. Commodities showed divergence, with oil edging higher and metals softer. Overnight, Asian equities declined broadly, led by a sharp sell-off in South Korea.

In this episode, CII General Counsel Jeff Mahoney sits down with Edward Rock, the Martin Lipton Professor of Law, and Director of the Institute for Corporate Governance & Finance, at the NYU School of Law. Professor Rock is the co-author of a recent research paper entitled "The New Political Economy of Delaware Corporate Lawmaking." The paper discusses how changes in the capital and legal markets, particularly the rise of dual-class controlled companies, are reshaping the state's lawmaking process. To address these changes, the authors propose replacing the current “Corporation Law Council” with a legislatively created “Corporation Law Commission” that prioritizes the creation of a balanced and technically excellent corporate law over making changes that serve immediate client interests.

Blake Schofield works with successful leaders and founders who feel drained, unfulfilled, and like their success doesn't feel the way it should—even though everything looks right on paper.   After 18 years as a top-performing Fortune 500 executive—including turning around a $130M business at Target from –25% sales to positive growth for the first time in over a decade, delivering $7.5M in profit over plan, and building a new division at Stitch Fix to a 75,000-person waitlist in 11 months—she realized something most high performers don't see:   They're not actually solving the root problem—and it's not because something is wrong with them. So they change jobs, start new businesses, go to therapy, hire coaches, or push through… but nothing actually fixes it. Because the issue isn't effort or capability.   Episode Summary:   Blake Schofield spent 18 years climbing the corporate ladder at Fortune 500 companies — leading turnarounds, scaling new divisions, and delivering results most executives only dream of. But behind the impressive résumé was a pattern she couldn't shake: six to nine months of excitement with every new role, followed by burnout, drain, and the nagging feeling that something was still missing.   What she discovered in the years that followed changed everything. The problem wasn't the jobs, the bosses, or the industry — it was misalignment. And after investing over half a million dollars and tens of thousands of hours into understanding why traditional approaches fall short, she developed a framework around three core areas of misalignment that keep talented people stuck.   Key Takeaways:   - Changing jobs doesn't fix misalignment - Your natural wiring is unique - Most of our beliefs were formed before age 7 - Environment matters more than we think - Asking for help is a strength - Trust the unsettled feeling   Episode Chapters:   [00:00:00] — Cold Open: The Power of Beliefs  [00:00:48] — What You'll Learn Today [00:01:08] — Welcome & Guest Introduction [00:02:22] — Blake's Story: From Psychology to Corporate to Burnout [00:05:03] — The Breaking Point at Stitch Fix [00:07:30] — The Misalignment Framework: Why the Same Cycles Keep Repeating [00:10:41] — Misalignment #1: How You're Naturally Wired to Thrive [00:14:59] — Misalignment #2: Beliefs and Conditioning [00:17:37] — Shining the Mirror: Blake's Coaching Philosophy [00:19:11] — Misalignment #3: Environment [00:20:53] — Who Blake Works With [00:21:20] — What Inspires Blake [00:23:31] — Blake's Podcast: Impact with Ease [00:25:39] — The Entrepreneurship Wake-Up Call [00:29:35] — Final Takeaways from Blake [00:30:52] — Outro & Show Close

In this powerful episode of The Inventive Journey, Devin Miller sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and emotional intelligence expert Christopher Salem to discuss a journey filled with chaos, reinvention, business success, addiction recovery, and transformational leadership lessons.Christopher Salem's story is anything but traditional.From struggling with direction in college to navigating toxic corporate environments, Salem openly shares the highs and lows that shaped his entrepreneurial path. After attending Arizona State University and entering the aerospace industry through Sikorsky Aircraft, he quickly discovered that many corporate workplaces in the late 80s and early 90s operated through fear, micromanagement, and aggressive leadership.One unforgettable moment involved Salem physically confronting a supervisor after relentless pressure and toxic management tactics pushed him past his breaking point. Surprisingly, rather than being terminated, he was promoted—revealing just how normalized unhealthy leadership culture had become during that era.But external success masked deeper internal struggles.Salem discusses battling addiction, sabotaging personal relationships, and repeatedly rebuilding his professional life while privately struggling emotionally. Through sales roles, media businesses, startup investments, aviation ventures, and entrepreneurship, he consistently found opportunities to succeed professionally while simultaneously confronting unresolved emotional pain.Everything changed following the death of his father.In one deeply emotional conversation during his father's final days, Salem realized that blaming others for his circumstances would never create lasting change. That realization became the catalyst for his recovery and personal transformation.Instead of living reactively, he committed himself to emotional intelligence, communication mastery, accountability, and intentional growth.Those lessons ultimately became the foundation for his consulting and coaching business.Today, Christopher Salem helps organizations improve communication, leadership development, customer engagement, emotional intelligence, psychologically safe workplace culture, stakeholder alignment, and business growth strategies. He also teaches professionals how to use speaking opportunities as a platform to grow influence and authority.Throughout this conversation, Salem and Devin Miller discuss:• Toxic workplace cultures and leadership failures• Emotional intelligence in entrepreneurship• Addiction recovery and personal accountability• Startup investing lessons and due diligence mistakes• Building and selling successful businesses• Communication strategies for leadership and sales• Why entrepreneurs must validate market demand• How emotionally intelligent leadership improves retention and performance• Using speaking and storytelling to grow business influenceThis episode offers valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, executives, startup founders, sales leaders, and anyone seeking to improve communication and leadership effectiveness.Christopher Salem's journey proves that reinvention is possible—even after emotional breakdowns, business failures, addiction struggles, and toxic environments.Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs begin when you stop blaming circumstances and start understanding yourself.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

What happens when big business runs healthcare and clinicians are pushed out of decision-making? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Harry Severance shares decades of clinical and educational experience to diagnose the root causes of our workforce crisis: moral injury, profit-over-patient priorities, and the exodus of burned-out physicians and nurses. Dr. Severance and Dr. Austin explore multi-tiered healthcare solutions, the unsustainability of the current U.S. system, barriers like the Stark Law, the growing unionization movement, and practical paths for clinicians to reclaim agency, both top-down (seats at the C-suite table) and bottom-up (advocacy and collective action). You'll hear how they: Examine the shift from patient-centered care to corporate metrics and its devastating impact on clinician wellbeing and patient outcomes Discuss alarming statistics: more physicians leaving than entering the U.S., projected shortages, and unpayable medical bills driving bankruptcies Challenge the status quo on single-payer vs. hybrid systems and the need for baseline healthcare access for all citizens Address apathy vs. agency and the power of persistence, political involvement, and community action Emphasize the timeless wisdom of “never give up”  even when the system feels overwhelmingly broken If you're feeling the weight of a corporate-dominated healthcare system or searching for ways to drive meaningful change, this episode delivers both hard truths and hopeful calls to action. About the Guest: “You can't always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes you just might find you get what you need.” - Dr. Harry Severance Dr. Harry Severance is an Assistant Adjunct Professor at Duke University with decades of clinical experience in emergency and acute care medicine. A passionate change-maker and workforce advocate, he has counseled countless physicians and clinicians navigating burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Severance writes and speaks on healthcare system reform, clinician wellbeing, and the urgent need to return clinical voices to healthcare leadership.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhen did lying stop being political spin… and start becoming America's operating system?In this episode, I dive into the growing normalization of misinformation, manufactured outrage, and the dangerous idea that facts no longer matter if your political tribe approves of the story. From Trump's latest claims involving Iran to the broader culture of “just believe whatever the leader says,” this episode asks a very uncomfortable question:What happens when reality itself becomes negotiable?I also get brutally personal about something I know will make some people angry. I explain why I can no longer tolerate hardcore Trump supporters in my personal life even friends, family members, or relationships. Not because of “different opinions,” but because I believe we've crossed into something far darker involving cruelty, extremism, propaganda, and the abandonment of basic moral reasoning.And then… we get to the statue.Donald Trump unveiling a 22-foot monument to himself at Mar-A-Lago might be one of the most absurdly on-brand political moments in modern American history. I break down the ego, the spectacle, the dictator-style imagery, and why this whole thing feels less like democracy and more like a reality show slowly mutating into a monarchy with gold trim.This episode is angry, sarcastic, darkly funny, and completely unfiltered.Welcome back to A World Gone Mad.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe sometimes got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

2026 Federal Budget - CGT Discount Replaced, Negative Gearing Curtailed, and Discretionary Trusts Hit with Minimum Tax Late on Budget night Toby Eggleston, Ryan Leslie and Nick Heggart discuss Treasurer Chalmers' budget, focused on reshaping personal tax, especially capital gains and discretionary trusts, under “intergenerational equity.” Corporate measures are smaller, including re-announced non-resident CGT changes with intended retrospectivity to 2006 and limited transitional relief for renewables to 30 June 2030, expanded VCLP/ESVCLP investment caps, and R&D offset tweaks forecast to reduce tax by $1.5b. Small business changes include making the instant asset write-off permanent, a refundable loss offset for startups from 1 July 2028, and a permanent loss carry-back for companies under $1b turnover.

Mining Stock Daily's Ian Wagner speaks with Silver 47 CEO Galen McNamara for a corporate introduction to the company's U.S.-focused silver development portfolio. McNamara outlines Silver 47's three core projects: Red Mountain in Alaska, Hughes in Nevada, and Mogollon in New Mexico, which together host nearly 250 million silver-equivalent ounces. The conversation covers the company's goal of aggressively growing its resource base toward a billion ounces, backed by roughly $50 million in treasury. McNamara also discusses the 2026 drill plans at Red Mountain and Hughes, the newly staked Kennedy exploration project in Nevada, and silver's role as a critical mineral.

Mining Stock Daily's Ian Wagner speaks with Aftermath Silver Executive Chair and Founder Michael Williams about the company's Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in southeastern Peru. Williams explains how the deposit's value shifts depending on whether manganese is processed in China or into a higher-value U.S. supply chain, where the company has held discussions with federal agencies. The conversation covers the move directly from resource to pre-feasibility study, upcoming metallurgical work, copper exploration targets, and plans to drill the Challacollo silver project in Chile. Williams also discusses Eric Sprott's support, potential U.S. uplisting, and Peru's mining jurisdiction.

hii jomies!this is our ill-fated "fail episode." last year eric and i spent literally five hours on a sunday trying to film an episode about work resentment and burnout and every single take just sucked. we tried THREE times and failed every single time.but we had some really good nuggets in there so we chopped it up and pulled out the best parts for you guys. it's kind of a hodgepodge of segments but honestly some of my fave convos came out of it! we talk about someone reaching out to me asking for advice on whistleblowing, dealing with power tripping managers, the weird guilt of going independent, and why we push ourselves so damn hard when we could actually just chill.this episode is proof that not every recording session is a banger and sometimes you just gotta take the L and move on. but also!! the conversations were still valuable and i didn't want them to just... rot. thank u for listening and for being part of this community, it means everything to uslove,chlo & eric

Last year, Oregon lawmakers passed one of the toughest corporate medicine laws in the nation and a recent court case put this law to the test. SB 951 limits corporate influence in medical decisions and was at the center of a courtroom battle between Apollo MD, Peacehealth and local physicians in Eugene. The issue came up when Peacehealth announced it would not renew its contract with Eugene Emergency Physicians and instead would instead contract with Georgia-based Apollo MD. The case took a turn when it was announced that a tentative agreement between EEP and Peacehealth was made.

She joins us to share more on what agreement was made and what this court battle says about Oregon’s corporate medicine law.   

Two hundred and fifty years ago, before a single battle of the Revolutionary War had been won, a group of men from vastly different denominations sat down together and did something that would set the tone for everything that followed — they prayed. Congregationalists, Anglicans, Quakers, Baptists, Lutherans, and more, setting aside every theological difference to seek God together for the future of a nation not yet born. They opened that first Continental Congress with the reading of Psalm 35, crying out to God as their shield, their armor, and their salvation. It was an act of unity that history has rarely matched. On this National Day of Prayer, we are invited into that same spirit — not as a political act, but as a profoundly spiritual one. The divisions in our nation run deep, and the temptation to pray only within the walls of our own traditions is real. But the founders understood something we must recover: that corporate prayer, offered in humility and unity, moves the hand of God in ways that individual effort never can. The same God who heard the prayers of those early colonists and brought a nation through impossible odds is still listening today. He is still moved by repentance. He is still responsive to humility. And He is still able to do far more than we can ask or imagine — if His people will simply set aside what divides them and call out to Him together. Interested in creating something new with us!?

Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, 'I am your salvation.'" — Psalm 35:1-3 Ponder Today America's founders understood that physical battles are ultimately won or lost in the spiritual realm — their commitment to corporate prayer was not ceremonial, it was foundational. Unity in prayer does not require uniformity in doctrine — the founders set aside significant denominational differences to pray together for a shared purpose, and God honored it. National repentance is not just a historical concept — the story of Nineveh reminds us that God is always ready to relent when His people genuinely humble themselves and turn back to Him. The Great Awakenings in American history did not begin with political movements — they began with prayer, and there is no reason to believe that pattern has changed. Corporate prayer is one of the most powerful forces available to the Church — when believers across denominational lines join in one accord, the watching world sees the love of God at work in a way nothing else can replicate. Today's Prayer Dear Father, as our nation marks this significant anniversary, lead us by Your Holy Spirit to set aside our differences and join together in prayer for our country. Give us wisdom and insight into the needs of our nation and our leaders. Soften the hearts of our citizens to respond to a call for repentance, and draw us to humble ourselves before You, to seek Your face, and to turn from our wicked ways. Strengthen our faith to believe in the power of prayer and to cry out for another Great Awakening in America. We ask for miracles in our nation and in the lives of those who lead us.
