What happens when a college football player gets locked up in Beijing for smoking weed and turns it into a bestselling book empire?Picture this: You're 24, fresh out of college, teaching English in Beijing when three Chinese police officers knock on your door. Within hours, you're locked in a cell with 14 Chinese men you can't communicate with, eating three bowls of soup a day with nothing but a plastic spoon. No one knows where you are. No one's coming to save you.But here's the kicker – Chancellor saw opportunity where others would see only despair.Instead of playing victim, he took accountability. Instead of making excuses, he made plans. And instead of letting this experience break him, he turned those 15 days into a #1 bestselling book that launched a publishing empire.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Chancellor breaks down:The exact moment he knew his life was about to change foreverHow football taught him the accountability that saved his sanity in prisonWhy he refuses to blame anyone but himself for his decisionsThe transition from athlete to entrepreneur that most ex-players never figure outHow he's now coaching both kids on the field AND aspiring authors to bestseller statusCONNECT WITH CHANCELLOR JACKSON:Instagram: @korlehjLinkedIn: Chancellor Jackson YouTube: @10korleh Book: Welcome to the No BS Wealth Podcast with Stoy Hall, your candid guide to financial clarity.

Send us a textIn this deeply moving interview, Jeanette shares one of the most powerful transformation stories I've ever witnessed - how healing her own childhood wounds completely freed her 7-year-old daughter's spirit in just three months.As a Mexican expatriate mom living in the Netherlands with no support system, Jeanette was trapped in an overwhelming cycle. Her daughter had begun hearing "voices" that told her not to trust her mom, to fight her brother, and that she was "silly" - the exact same critical voices Jeanette had heard as a child growing up as the third of four children with little attention and no emotional support.The little girl had become the classic "good girl" - quiet, compliant, always focusing on what was wrong instead of finding joy. She was unconsciously repeating the same wounded patterns her mother had learned.Despite trying psychologists, parenting courses, and religious guidance, nothing created lasting change until Jeanette discovered the connection between her childhood wounds and her daughter's suffering.In this raw, honest conversation, Jeanette reveals:How growing up as the third of four children with no emotional support created patterns she was unconsciously repeatingThe specific brain exercises that helped her regain control of her emotions in just one weekHow her transformation affected not just her parenting, but her work relationships and life decisionsThe moment she realized her "good girl" daughter was repeating generational patternsHer brave decision to pursue divorce and create a healthier future for her childrenWhat makes this episode particularly powerful is witnessing Jeanette's courage - someone who usually "sits in the back" stepping forward to share her story publicly for the first time.If you're feeling trapped by your circumstances, overwhelmed by your emotions, or wondering if real change is possible - Jeanette's story proves that healing can happen faster than you think, and that courage can emerge from the most difficult situations.Support the showPrefer watching this podcast on video?

Unlocking Success Through Strategy and Consistency with Jake SmolarekIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge welcomes Jake Smolarek, Life and Business Coach. With a unique background that blends gaming, coaching, and entrepreneurship, Jake helps established entrepreneurs master their time, mindset, and decision-making. In this conversation, he shares a powerful framework for staying consistent, making quicker decisions, and enjoying the entrepreneurial journey along the way.What Entrepreneurs Can Learn from Gaming and CoachingJake Smolarek draws fascinating parallels between gaming and entrepreneurship, emphasizing that both require strategy, feedback, and consistent practice. As an avid gamer, Jake believes the lessons from gaming—like handling setbacks, adapting strategies, and refining skills—can directly improve business outcomes. Mistakes aren't failures; they're feedback. And mastery? That comes from repetition.Jake's “No 0% Days” concept is at the core of his coaching philosophy. It's a mindset that encourages progress—even in the smallest steps—every single day. Whether it's sending one email, making a call, or spending five focused minutes on a goal, daily actions compound into lasting results. This approach helps entrepreneurs avoid burnout, maintain momentum, and track real progress over time.A recurring theme in Jake's work is the power of clarity and decisiveness. He stresses the importance of having a clear vision, which makes it easier to filter decisions, say no to distractions, and take fast, aligned action. Entrepreneurs often suffer from “option overload.” But with a strong vision, you can limit options, trust your instincts, and keep moving forward with confidence. This episode is a blueprint for anyone looking to lead with intention and avoid the trap of perfectionism and indecision.About Jake SmolarekJake Smolarek is a Life and Business Coach who helps high-performing entrepreneurs develop clarity, consistency, and confidence. With a background in personal development and performance coaching, Jake supports clients in aligning their daily actions with long-term vision through mindset work, decision-making frameworks, and real-world accountability systems.About JakeSmolarek.comAt JakeSmolarek.com, Jake offers personalized coaching and resources for entrepreneurs looking to take control of their time, mindset, and business growth.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt unpack a common but costly mistake nonprofits make—treating donors as checkbooks instead of partners. Sparked by recent federal funding cuts to arts organizations, this conversation challenges fundraising teams to rethink how they communicate with their most committed supporters during a crisis.Too often, when a major grant disappears or budgets fall short, nonprofits react with urgency but little strategy. A mass email plea might generate a trickle of support, but it rarely strengthens long-term donor relationships or builds confidence. Amy and Andrea argue there's a better way—one that starts by treating your top donors like trusted advisors.The episode digs into the difference between reactive fundraising and relationship-based fundraising. The key? Seeing your donors as people who want your mission to succeed and are willing to help in more ways than writing a check. Andrea shares a personal example of how a missed opportunity left her feeling like "just another wallet," and Amy discusses the psychological impact of mass appeals versus personalized outreach.You'll hear:Why most fundraising appeals fall flat after a crisis—and what to do insteadHow to engage your top donors in real conversations about strategy, not just fundingWhy even non-fundraising experts have valuable insight into program decisionsThe value of building a mental “donor committee” that you turn to regularlyHow relational fundraising mirrors real-life friendships—and why that mattersWays to make your follow-up more than a thank-you noteAmy and Andrea offer a practical framework that fundraising professionals can adopt immediately—starting with a simple mindset shift: Donors are institutional friends, not vending machines. If that sounds soft, think again. This approach can lead to larger gifts, more meaningful partnerships, and long-term campaign success.This conversation is especially timely for nonprofit leaders facing funding cuts, uncertainty, or stalled campaigns. If you're tired of short-term fixes and want to start building lasting support, this episode offers a clear path forward.To learn more about capital campaign strategy and donor engagement, visit capitalcampaignpro.com, where you'll find free resources and ways to work directly with expert advisors like Amy and Andrea.

“Client communication just doesn't cut it anymore. In 2025 we have so many generations working together, we want to rush right to the product, but we have to learn how to use these people first communication skills.”Jason Raitz is proof that success as a speaker isn't about overnight wins or waiting for an opportunity to knock—it's about grit, clarity, and a relentless focus on serving others. Starting from a childhood love of the stage (and a knack for bribing friends with cookies), Jason spent years speaking in churches and schools before finally stepping into the corporate world, but this pivot didn't come easy.For years, Jason juggled ministry with speaking gigs, sometimes feeling invisible and fighting off imposter syndrome—especially when the dream career didn't materialize quickly. The breakthrough came when he stopped trying to speak to everyone and niched down, listening deeply to the needs of his new audience: financial professionals. That decision, plus hours of research and talking with industry leaders, turned Speak with People from an idea into a respected business.Jason's message is simple but necessary: real impact happens when you communicate with people, not at them. His journey is a masterclass in perseverance—reminding us it's not about being the loudest voice in the room, but being the one willing to listen, adapt, and keep going even when it's tough.You'll learn:Running a business with a nonprofit mindsetNiching down and focusing on a specific marketDifferentiating companies from personal brandsDifficulties in breaking into the church speaking circuitHow financial necessity is a driving factor in career decisionsThe challenges of adapting messages and deliveryThe importance of being a health communicatorAdapting content creation and sales approachesAnd much, much more!“I want to teach people how to be a healthy communicator, to be able to speak from a place of health on the inside.
