In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Petar Lackovic, founder of The Sales Institute of Australia. Petar shares his remarkable journey from sleeping on a couch to running a lean, 7-figure profit business that helps entrepreneurs master sales and pricing with confidence. He reveals how 85% of clients in his Convert Club raise prices and boost conversion rates within just weeks and months. Petar opens up about his early struggles, leadership lessons, and how simplifying sales systems transformed his business growth. Tune in to learn practical, real-world lessons from a real and down to earth entrepreneur who's worn every hat on his journey Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Petar Lackovic, the toughest part of growing a small business is getting out of your own way. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly block their own progress by being stubborn, not acting quick enough, overthinking, or avoiding new learnings needed to succeed. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness – identifying weaknesses, gaining new skills, and focusing on the “best next step.” Petar believes true growth happens when business owners let go of ego, stay adaptable, and take consistent, forward-moving action. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Petar Lackovic says the business book that helped him the most in his early days is      “The E-Myth” by Michael E. Gerber, as it completely changed how he viewed entrepreneurship. The book taught him the power of creating systems and processes so a business can operate independently of its owner. It helped him shift his mindset from working in the business to working on it, allowing for sustainable growth and long-term success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends learning from podcasts and resources that focus on sales mastery and business growth. He's featured on shows like Super Obvious with James Tuckerman and Inspiring Business for Good, where he shares insights on converting leads, mastering sales language, and understanding the stages of entrepreneurship. For structured learning, his Reverse Selling Method™ Cheat Sheet and his Reverse Selling Method™ Short Course is available through his Globally award winning program CONVERT Club™ and offers practical frameworks to help business owners boost conversions, increase speed of sale, raise prices confidently (charging your true worth), and build strong, repeatable sales systems. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends the Reverse Selling Method™ as the most powerful tool to grow a small business's revenue and cashflow. This framework helps business owners transform how they sell by shifting from chasing clients to attracting them through trust and clarity. It focuses on lowering buyer resistance, framing conversations around customer needs, being seen as the prize in the sales conversation and having customers buying from you instead of you feeling you're selling to them by creating a repeatable, scalable sales system that drives consistent results. By mastering this method, entrepreneurs can boost conversions, increase prices confidently, and build long-term customer relationships without relying on pushy sales tactics. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Petar Lackovic says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple: keep moving forward. He believes success isn't about having all the answers from the start but about taking consistent steps, learning, and adapting along the way. Even when things feel uncertain or difficult, progress - no matter how small - builds momentum and clarity. His message is that everything works out if you stay focused, keep learning/outgrowing yourself, and never stop moving forward.

Have you ever felt like you were finally okay—only to be blindsided by a wave of emotion you didn't see coming? In this episode of Pursue Your Spark, “When Childhood Trauma Reawakens: Stacey Hettes on Healing After Midlife,” I sit down with Dr. Stacey Hettes, scientist, college professor, and author of Dispatches from the Couch, to explore how deeply buried childhood trauma can resurface in midlife—and how we begin to heal truly. We dig into the ACEs framework (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how Dr. Hettes used it to make sense of emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and her own journey through PTSD. With her background in neuroscience, she explains how trauma physically rewires the brain—especially the amygdala and hippocampus—and how therapy helped her retrain those fear-based circuits over time. This conversation challenges the idea that healing is quick or clean. We unpack what it means to "fawn" as a trauma response, why shame keeps us silent, and why therapy isn't about being fixed—it's about being seen. Dr. Hettes also shares how one triggering moment in adulthood cracked open decades of buried fear, and how that pain became a catalyst for growth. More than anything, she reminds us that healing begins not when we ask what happened to me, but what did it do to me—and what do I do next? ✨ This is one of a collection of tools to spark your own healing journey. Tune in now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen—and share this with someone who needs to know they're not alone.

This episode features Chapter 4 of my new book, Before the Couch—specifically Tip #3: “You Can’t Do It!” Before the Couch is now available on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. It’s not another “try harder” marriage book—the kind you’ve probably already read if your marriage has been struggling. And honestly, how’s that worked out so far? This book takes a different approach—one that has already helped many Christian couples who were on the brink of calling a divorce lawyer. You might be wondering, “Why another marriage book?” Fair question. The truth is, most of us have been asking the wrong question about marriage. In Before the Couch, I help couples wrestle with a better one—an approach that opens doors where nothing else has worked. This week’s episode features the chapter titled “Your Relationship Is Only Mostly Dead.” (Yes, think Princess Bride.) You can listen right now on both the podcast and YouTube.

Warum gehen viele Männer erst zum Arzt, wenn sie Blut spucken? Viele halten ihre Gesundheit für selbstverständlich – bis der Körper streikt.Peter Großmann, TV-Moderator und selbst über 60, zeigt Dir die 5 Hebel, mit denen Du fit bleibst – ohne Dein ganzes Leben der Fitness unterzuordnen. Du erfährst, wie Du dranbleibst, auch wenn die Couch ruft, der Stress steigt und die Zeit knapp ist.____________*WERBUNG: Infos zum Werbepartner dieser Folge und allen weiteren Werbepartnern findest Du hier.____________Du kennst ihn vielleicht aus dem ARD-Morgenmagazin – Peter Großmann, das Gesicht des Sports im deutschen Fernsehen. Aber was ihn für dieses Gespräch besonders wertvoll macht: Er hat selbst die 60 geknackt und weiß aus eigener Erfahrung, wovon er spricht.Genau das macht ihn so glaubwürdig, wenn er über Männergesundheit spricht. Über das Bauchfett, das plötzlich bleibt. Über Muskelmasse, die schwindet, und Testosteron, das im Laufe der Zeit weniger wird. Und über die vielen kleinen Ausreden, mit denen wir Männer uns häufig selbst sabotieren, ohne es überhaupt zu merken, und um die wir uns oft erst kümmern, wenn es schon zu spät ist.

This is one of the realest conversations on how to turn information into transformation. If you've ever been afraid of credit or stuck trying to build your business from scratch—this episode will shift your mindset forever.

Thanks for the great feedback from the last show on Chapter 2 of my newest book, Before the Couch. It is available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. It is not meant to take the same approach as so many other books that, if you are a struggling marriage, you;’ve probably tried. And how’s that going for you. The approach in Before the Couch has helped lots of Christian couples that came to be ready to call a divorce lawyer. Now, you might be asking, “Why another marriage book?” That’s fair. The truth is, most of us have been asking the wrong question. In Before the Couch, I invite couples to wrestle with a better question—one that opens doors where nothing else has worked. This week, you’ll hear the chapter titled “Your Relationship Is Only Mostly Dead.” Remember Princess Bride”? This show is available now on both the podcast and YouTube.

Read transcriptGather around power-level enthusiasts and tournament fighters, because this week on Play Comics we're charging up our ki and diving headfirst into the legendary slugfest that is Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for PS2 and GameCube. That's right, we're looking at the 2002 fighting game that asked the burning question “What if we took the first three arcs of Dragon Ball Z and squeezed them into a button-mashing experience that makes even the most patient Z-Fighter want to go Super Saiyan with frustration?” Developed by Dimps and published by Infogrames (back when they still existed and weren't just a nostalgic memory floating in gaming's hyperbolic time chamber), this cel-shaded beatdown promised to let players experience everything from Raditz's surprise family reunion to Cell's perfectionist power trip. What it delivered was a fighting system so basic that even Yamcha could probably figure it out, paired with enough beam struggles to make your thumbs file for workers' compensation. Joining us for this Saiyan-sized discussion is the one and only Doc Issues from Capes on the Couch, because when you need someone to analyze the psychological implications of repeatedly punching people until they explode into light particles you call a professional. Together we'll explore how this game managed to compress roughly 100 episodes of screaming, power-ups, and “next time on Dragon Ball Z” frustrating end caps into a tournament format that somehow made sense. So grab your orange gi, practice your best Kamehameha stance, and prepare for an episode that's over 9000 times more entertaining than waiting five episodes for Goku to finish charging his spirit bomb. Will this manga-to-game adaptation achieve its final form? Or will it get sent to Other World faster than you can say “Kakarot”? Time to find out if this Z-Fighter deserves a senzu bean or a one-way ticket to Snake Way! Learn such things as: What happens when you try to balance Goku's overwhelming power level against characters who can barely survive a Saibaman encounter? Is there a psychological explanation for why watching grown men scream for five minutes while powering up never gets old? What's the secret to making players care about story mode when everyone already knows Goku's going to win everything anyway? And so much more!

In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Nadine Macaluso—therapist, author, and trauma bond expert—to explore the insidious dynamics of trauma bonded relationships. Nadine bravely shares her own experience as the ex-wife of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” shedding light on the coercion, manipulation, and psychological warfare that define these toxic partnerships. But more than just surviving, Nadine walks us through what it truly takes to heal, reclaim your identity, and find peace on the other side. We unpack what trauma bonding really means (and what it doesn't), the behavioral patterns that make these relationships so hard to leave, and why traditional labels like “codependency” often miss the mark.  Episode Highlights:[0:26] - Welcoming Dr. Nadine Macaluso and the powerful topic of trauma bonding [2:46] - Defining trauma bonds: the toxic dance of power imbalance and intermittent reinforcement [4:32] - The difference between conflict in healthy relationships and trauma bonds [6:18] - Why “narcissistic abuse” doesn't cover the full picture [8:48] - How trauma bonds begin with charm, love bombing, and hidden pathology [9:37] - The damaging effects of victim-blaming language in therapy and society [11:54] - Living with public exposure and reclaiming her story after The Wolf of Wall Street [14:08] - The viral TikTok that launched Nadine's healing advocacy online [17:32] - Coercion disguised as love: fast-tracked marriage, children, and control [18:37] - Why trauma bonds are so hard to break: fear, shame, confusion, and dependency [21:33] - Nadine's healing roadmap: education, stabilization, and rediscovery of self [27:36] - What life feels like after leaving a trauma bond: freedom, peace, and autonomy [29:42] - Learning to trust your intuition again and spotting red flags early [30:24] - Can women be the pathological partner? The gendered nature of coercive control [32:50] - Process addictions and their devastating impact on self-worth [33:09] - Cognitive dissonance: the mental glue of trauma bonded relationships [34:45] - Realizing there was only ever one person in the relationship—the manipulator [36:24] - How to access Nadine's book, community, and incredible healing resources Links & ResourcesDownload the First Chapter of Dr. Nadine Macalso's book Run Like Hell for Free: https://heal.drnae.com/podcast-book-giveaway Join Dr. Nadine Macaluso's trauma bond recovery course: https://course.drnae.com/trauma-bond-recovery-course-c If today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

Welcome back for Season 9 of Edge of the Couch! And hello to those of you who might be just starting your grad programs and finding us for the first time. When we were in school, professors kept bringing up their concern that there was oversaturation in the field. So, we discuss this question: Is it true that there are too many therapists? That question feels even more pressing now than when we first started the podcast five years ago, as the landscape of the field has shifted dramatically. In this episode, we explore why the number of therapists and the number of good therapists aren't the same thing, and why thoughtful gatekeeping plays an essential role in upholding the standards of the profession. This is a spicy one!

I’m taking a quick pause in our current series to share some exciting news: my brand-new book for struggling Christian couples, Before the Couch, launches October 1st on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. Over the next three episodes, you’ll actually hear three of the most practical and encouraging chapters from the book—right here on the show. My prayer is that this becomes a trusted resource for churches and couples everywhere. Now, you might be asking, “Why another marriage book?” That’s fair. The truth is, most of us have been asking the wrong question. In Before the Couch, I invite couples to wrestle with a better question—one that opens doors where nothing else has worked. This week, you’ll hear the chapter titled “Stop It!” It’s available now on both the podcast and YouTube.

I'm not sure about you but the heaviness of the world right now has me needing more time for calm and reflection and planning… and in that process of really prioritizing this… I realized the importance of a personal fortress.     A space where you can retreat and be alone and do whatever you need to do to reset your mind, revisit your priorities and how you spend your time and mental energy… all of it.    I wanted to do a podcast episode on this topic because I think changing our environment changes our headspace and in this way it can be so fulfilling.    Today we are diving into planning more peace and calm and clarity in our lives through slowing everything down and spending time in a place that is special to you.         Ideas of what this could look like!    Home gym Bathtub Desk or writing nook Couch by a window Large closet or wardrobe corner Backyard garden Front porch or balcony Comfy chair with a blanket Yoga mat corner Bed with soft lighting Garage gym or workshop Attic or loft space Basement reading nook Hammock Fireplace area   In this episode, we'll explore inspiring ideas and perspectives from thought leaders on how to build your own personal sanctuary and use it to find calm, focus on priorities and recenter.     We cover…    Why having a personal “fortress” matters in a noisy, stressful world How stepping away creates peace, clarity, and calm The holistic benefits of slowing down: mental, emotional, physical, and relational Avoiding burnout through daily renewal (“sharpening the saw”) Why everyone needs to recharge, introverts and extroverts alike Creative ideas for personal sanctuaries (bath, desk, couch, garden, home gym, and more) How to design your space: calming atmosphere, personalization, clutter-free environment Ways to recharge in your fortress: stillness, journaling, prayer, meditation, yoga, breathwork The importance of unplugging completely Guarding this time fiercely and saying no without guilt How your fortress becomes a secret superpower, helping you return to life refreshed and energized   Over time, this refuge becomes your secret superpower.    It allows you to meet life's challenges with a calmer mind and a fuller heart, because you know you have a safe place to restore yourself.   So design your spaces, embrace the quiet, and enjoy the process of recharging.

This is the 400th episode of Selling the Couch! It is truly surreal to think back to 2015 and the show's humble beginnings; reaching this milestone is beyond anything I ever dreamed of 10 years ago. I want to use this milestone to reflect on a few meaningful thoughts about staying the course to reap the quiet rewards. What does it mean to choose depth over scale and to build intentionally and slowly when the world often tells us to go fast? The truth in this concept of depth over scale is the most impactful lesson I've learned on this journey. In this episode, I'm focusing on 3 reflections that I hope encourage you, especially if you are in a season of slow growth. You'll Learn:My experience: Feeling behind when everyone else seemed to be scaling faster: “Am I doing this wrong?”What clicked for me: “Speed makes noise, but depth builds roots.”3 Quiet-Builder truths for longevity and depth:Slow growth is often the healthiest growth.We often think reputation comes from a single moment, but it comes from quiet consistency.Depth protects your nervous system. (“There is a cost for going fast. Depth is kinder.”)A business should give you life—not drain you.Want to know more about being a Quiet Builder?

Hey there, friends! In this episode, we sit down with our fabulous returning guest, Dr. Juliana Hauser, to talk about her powerful new book, A New Position on Sex. Trust us when we say, this conversation is one you do not want to miss. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your sexual self, stuck in old beliefs, or just plain exhausted, Dr. Juliana offers an entirely new—and deeply empowering—way to approach sexuality in midlife.We dig into everything from sensuality and sexual agency to what it means to feel vibrant, connected, and alive again—on your own terms. You'll hear real talk (and plenty of laughs) about shame, societal expectations, pleasure beyond the bedroom, and why embracing your sexuality is not about performing for others.

In this episode, Panos answers some of your most common and practical dog training questions: "What should I do if an off-leash dog approaches us on a walk?" We'll cover how to advocate for your dog, maintain safe space, tools to have on hand like a spare leash, the importance of situational awareness, and even what to do if things escalate into a bite. "How do you keep your dog healthy and shiny like Chilli?" We'll talk about the role of diet quality, supplements such as Canineceuticals, regular exercise, and grooming routines that keep dogs looking and feeling their best. "Is it okay to let my dog sleep on the couch?" It comes down to your choice, but I'll break down factors like teaching “on/off” commands, respecting household rules, hygiene considerations, and whether your dog's behaviour is under control.   Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> Luke @ www.instagram.com/itslukebadman >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

What happens when the person who usually has the answers finds himself sitting in the unknown? In this deeply personal episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Tony Overbay shares his raw, honest experience of losing his mother - not as a clinician offering guidance, but as a son navigating grief for the first time. Tony opens with a touching story about his mom's lifelong belief that he was a "real doctor," leading to an unexpectedly profound moment in the ICU. He then sits down with Q&A Files co-host Trisha Jamison for an unfiltered conversation about what it's really like when the helper becomes the one who needs help. This isn't a clinical discussion about the stages of grief - it's a human exploration of sitting bedside for four days, the humor that emerges in dark moments, the spiritual experiences you hope for but might not get, and why "let me know if you need anything" might not be as helpful as we think. Whether you're processing your own loss, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about what happens when life flips the script on a mental health professional, this conversation offers something real. It's messy, it's honest, and it's ultimately about being human enough to sit with the questions when you don't have all the answers. Topics covered: Grief processing, end-of-life care, family dynamics, therapeutic insights, humor as coping mechanism, supporting others in loss, acceptance and commitment therapy in practice. Content note: This episode contains frank discussions about death, dying, and the physical aspects of end-of-life care. 00:00 Introduction and Announcements 02:25 Personal Loss: The Passing of My Mom 03:44 Understanding the Role of a Therapist 06:05 A Story of Misunderstanding: My Mom Thought I Was a Doctor 15:10 A Therapist's Perspective on Grief 17:58 Conversation with Tricia Jameson: Grief and Grace 34:30 Exploring the Nature of Memory 35:54 Humor as a Coping Mechanism 38:59 Seeking Spiritual Experiences 42:07 Navigating Grief and Loss 48:26 Reflecting on Personal Growth 52:01 Supporting Others Through Grief 58:49 Concluding Thoughts and Farewell Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

Send us a textWhen a fellow firefighter confessed suicidal thoughts to Adam Neff one night at the firehouse, it changed everything. Despite his decades of experience handling emergencies, Adam found himself unprepared for this particular crisis. That moment became the catalyst for his remarkable transition from assistant chief of operations to licensed professional counselor specializing in first responder mental health.During our conversation, Adam reveals the profound disconnect between traditional therapeutic approaches and the needs of emergency responders. Drawing from his 38 years in the fire service and his clinical training, he illuminates why cultural competency isn't just helpful – it's essential for effective mental health care in this population. His colorful anecdotes highlight how clinicians who can't navigate firehouse humor, understand departmental hierarchies, or recognize the language of the profession will struggle to build trust with these clients.Adam's approach bridges these worlds perfectly. He describes teaching somatic awareness – helping responders recognize when their "check engine light" is signaling emotional distress – in a way that resonates with tactical professionals. His strict confidentiality boundaries protect the vulnerability of clients who may work alongside referral sources, while his fourth-floor perspective training (offered free to departments nationwide) makes mental health concepts accessible to those who've traditionally avoided seeking help.Perhaps most powerfully, Adam challenges the myth that because firefighters work in teams and talk around the kitchen table, they're naturally more connected to their emotions. The reality is more complex – these heroes need therapists who understand when to push, when to use humor, and when to simply sit in the discomfort together. His insight that "unexpressed expectations is premeditated resentment" captures the importance of directness in this work.Whether you're a first responder struggling with your mental health, a clinician wanting to better serve this population, or someone who cares about the wellbeing of our emergency services personnel, this episode provides invaluable perspective on what healing looks like when the rescuer becomes the one in need of rescue.Adam can be reached on his website at www.agoodspacetherapy.comAdam also founded and continues to coordinate the Springfield Area Memorial Stair Climb- http://springfieldmemorialstairclimb.org/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
