What if the version of success you've been chasing isn't actually yours?That's where this week's conversation begins.In the first episode of this fulfillment series, we talked about the dream of the planet – the collection of cultural expectations that quietly tells us how life is supposed to work. In the second episode, we explored what happens when friends, family, and other people in our lives have their own dreams for us.This week, we're talking about success.The challenge is that most of us inherit an idea of success long before we ever stop to ask whether it actually fits. Bigger titles, nicer houses, expensive cars – we're surrounded by examples of what a successful life is supposed to look like.But what if the things we're chasing aren't the things we actually want?In this episode, we share a handful of personal stories that highlight just how deeply these ideas show up in everyday life. We talk about why alternative lifestyles can be so difficult for people to imagine, why freedom often looks strange from the outside, and how easy it is to confuse someone else's definition of success with your own.Onward and Inward,Kent & CaananCHAPTERS:(00:00) Mind Share: Why Beef Season 2 is worth your attention(01:33) The third pillar of fulfillment: Success(04:23) Story #1: The neighborhood where everyone is their job title(07:23) Story #2: “We could never afford your lifestyle”(10:47) The real problem: Success can limit imagination(12:12) The retired traveler and the retirement script(15:00) Lack of creativity and the inability to imagine alternatives(17:07) The hidden costs of conventional success(21:00) Choice, conformity, and the daily work of staying aligned(24:22) Defining success on your own terms(27:01) Nice things, personal values, and intentional tradeoffs(28:07) Mailbag: Everyday examples of disappointing other people(29:30) Freedom, flexibility, and the reactions they provokeKEY TAKEAWAYS:Success Is Often Borrowed: Many people spend years pursuing cultural definitions of success without ever asking whether those goals genuinely align with their values, priorities, and vision for life.Every Version of Success Has Tradeoffs: A larger paycheck, prestigious title, or luxury lifestyle may provide benefits, but they also require sacrifices. Fulfillment comes from consciously choosing the tradeoffs that matter most to you.You Need Self-Knowledge to Define Success for Yourself: The cultural script is loud. Without a strong understanding of who you are and what you value, it's easy to mistake someone else's definition of success for your own.SUPPORT NO VACATION REQUIRED:If this episode resonated with you, please leave a review.

This episode of the Dan Caplis show is a thought-provoking discussion that will leave you pondering the true meaning of wealth, success, and what it means to be a good person. The conversation starts with a fascinating topic - how much money does it take to feel truly secure and happy? The speaker shares a personal anecdote about a friend who became a millionaire after selling their business, and how it didn't change their life as much as they thought it would. This leads to a broader discussion about the concept of wealth and how it affects people's lives. The episode delves into the world of politics, discussing the upcoming elections in Colorado and the importance of winning over Democrats to turn the tide in the state. The speaker shares a Gallup poll that reveals a surprising trend - fewer people are condoning pregnancy outside of marriage and the use of birth control, and even fewer are in favor of abortion. This sparks a conversation about the role of education and traditional moral values in shaping people's opinions. The discussion also touches on the topic of naming public spaces after notable individuals, with the speaker suggesting that it should be reserved for those who have made significant contributions to the community, such as Officer Eric Tally, who saved lives during a shooting in Boulder. The conversation is peppered with personal stories and anecdotes, making it an engaging and relatable listen. If you're interested in hearing more about the topics discussed in this episode, including the surprising trends in public opinion and the importance of recognizing community heroes, tune in to the full episode of the Dan Kapla show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For most of human history, stories were not primarily viewed as commercial products to be sold. Story functioned first as myth, meaning-making, entertainment, cultural memory, and a way of understanding ourselves and the world around us. But in today's marketplace-driven culture, storytelling exists almost entirely within commercial systems—something that inevitably shapes not just what we create, but how we relate to story itself. In this episode, I explore the tension between story as product and story as something deeper, older, and more archetypal. From publishing culture and content creation to commercial pressure and creative burnout, modern storytelling increasingly exists inside systems designed around visibility, productivity, and sales. And although those systems offer real opportunities for writers, they can also subtly reshape not just what we create, but our relationship to the creative process itself. Writers deserve to be supported for their work, and stories deserve to reach audiences. But it's worth examining how the modern entertainment marketplace influences our understanding of story—particularly when success metrics begin to overshadow resonance, meaning, and the deeper relationship many writers feel toward creativity itself. We explore: - Story as process vs product - Commercial storytelling vs archetypal storytelling - The commodification of story - Creative flow vs content production - The relationship between marketplace culture and creative burnout - How writers can balance commercial success with creative wholeness This episode is an invitation to reexamine what story is, what role storytellers serve in society, and how writers can remain connected to the deeper meaning of story while still navigating the realities of the marketplace.

Some inventions change the way we see the world. Others fail to meet the lofty expectations set for them. Those are the ones that make it into a traveling museum called the Museum of Failure. It recognizes products like Nintendo's early attempt at 3-D gaming and a clear soda called Crystal Pepsi. There's also the Hawaii Chair, a chair whose cushion gyrates in a way that will supposedly help you get in shape. None of those products became everyday household items, but the Museum of Failure still honors them. After all, innovation is only possible when we try things that might not work. This hour, we’re reframing failure and celebrating people who take risks. In addition to talking about the Museum of Failure, we'll hear a from panel of young people whose educational journeys didn't go the way they expected. But rather than feel like failures, they've embraced their new paths as a way to redefine success. GUESTS: Dr. Samuel West: Organizational psychologist who founded the Museum of Failure in Sweden in 2017. The museum now travels around the globe. It’s in Paris until May 17, 2026. Melina Floyd: Community organizer in Bristol Ella Nicastro: Paraprofessional at Duffy Elementary School in West Hartford. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We dig into why success feels confusing when you measure your life with someone else's ruler and why comparison makes you doubt progress that is actually meaningful. We share a practical way to define success across the key areas of your life so your goals match your values and your peace. • using a beach photo as a simple picture of what “success” can feel like • spotting borrowed or inherited definitions of success from family and culture • noticing how comparison and social media distort what success looks like • asking “Am I aligned with what I actually want?” instead of “Am I ahead?” • understanding why backgrounds and beliefs create different success standards • naming the danger of not defining success and letting the world decide • defining success in domains like marriage, parenting, work, health, mindset, faith • building boundaries by focusing on a few priority categories https://aarondegler.com/

You hit the goal. You check the box. You reach the milestone. And instead of feeling fulfilled… you're already onto the next thing. Yeah — that's the problem.  In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole sits down with Jess Ekstrom — founder, bestselling author, and reformed anxious achiever — to call out the toxic relationship so many high-achieving women have with motivation, success, and self-worth. And spoiler alert: it's not a motivation problem. It's a meaning problem. Because somewhere along the way, ambition got tangled up with anxiety, productivity got confused with purpose, and we decided we'd finally feel good enough… later. After the next goal. The next milestone. The next arbitrary number. Sound familiar? We cover: The difference between anxious ambition vs. inspired ambition How to redefine success so it actually feels like success (not just looks good on paper) The “purpose test” that will instantly expose if you're chasing approval or impact Why you keep moving the goalpost — and how it's burning you out How comparison can either crush you… or prove what's possible Because here's the uncomfortable truth: if you keep tying your worth to what's next, you will never feel like enough — no matter how much you accomplish.

Define Success or Chase It Forever   Success feels endless until you define it. In this episode, Rocky sits down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and creator of the top 1% podcast Dream Think Do, to explore why high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs struggle to articulate their dreams and how to build a business that actually fulfills you. Mitch shares the unlikely lessons from his 13-year-old self working at a bike shop in Iowa to his current work with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney. If you've hit your revenue goals but still feel empty, this conversation is for you.    Learning Insights  Success Is Closer Than You Think (But You Have to Define It). Most entrepreneurs are three feet from gold without realizing it. Define what success means to you in this current season and watch how quickly it becomes achievable.  Your Business Sequence Matters More Than Your Dream. Every successful business has a clear sequence that moves people from awareness to trust to investment. Most entrepreneurs can't articulate theirs, which is why they struggle to attract consistent clients.  Be Interested, Not Interesting. Stop trying to impress people with expertise. Start genuinely asking questions and listening. Curiosity creates connection far better than charisma ever will.  Permission Is a Self-Imposed Barrier. You don't need your boss, family, or industry to give you permission to pursue your next chapter. You just need to give it to yourself and start.  Dreams Are Season-Specific, Not Life-Long Absolutes. Just because you have a dream doesn't mean now is the right season. You can acknowledge it, prepare strategically, and wait for the right moment without guilt.    Why This Conversation Matters  This conversation matters because the majority of business owners operate from a default definition of success they never chose. They're chasing numbers inherited from their environment rather than defined by themselves. The most fulfilled entrepreneurs paused to ask: What does success actually look like for me right now? Understanding your sequence and building permission into your own narrative removes the shame from uncertainty while making your direction crystal clear.    Money Learning  Mitch's first job at 13 taught him that work equals income, and income equals freedom and choice. Later, when building his coaching business during the "sitcom life" (single income, two children, oppressive mortgage), he couldn't quit his day job. Instead, financial constraints forced him to be strategic about his sequence and message, allowing him to build a six-figure business in just five months on the side.    Key Takeaway  Define what success means to you in this season before you spend another year chasing it. Build a clear sequence that guides people from awareness to investment. Finally, give yourself permission to start your next chapter without waiting for external validation. Most entrepreneurs are closer to their goals than they realize—they just haven't named them yet.    About Mitch Matthews   Mitch Matthews is a success coach, speaker, and creator of the top 1% podcast DREAM THINK DO  where he helps high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on the planet to do.   He's worked with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney, and he's the creator of The Authority Bridge™  a proven process that helps professionals turn their experience into a coaching and speaking business they love.    Links  Website: www.MitchMatthews.com   www.MitchMatthews.com/time   Coupon Code: richersoul  Podcast: DREAM THINK DO: https://mitchmatthews.com/blog/     To join thousands who receive Mitch's weekly "4 Things" email… you can go to: MitchMatthews.com/4things     "Discover 44 Proven Ways to Find Your First Life Coaching Clients (And Keep Them Coming!)"

Somewhere along the way, women were sold a lie: competition is the price of ambition. Be faster. Be louder. Be better. And if someone else wins? You must lose. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Ruchika T. Malhotra—founder and CEO of Candour, a global inclusion strategy firm, and author of Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success—to dismantle the zero-sum mindset and replace it with something far more powerful: collaboration, abundance, and shared success. Ruchika, a former business journalist and contributor to Harvard Business Review (including co-author of one of HBR's most-read articles, Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome), brings research, global perspective, and real-world strategy to challenge how we think about workplace competition, women in leadership, and ambition. Together, they unpack: Why competition in real life rewards conformity—not excellence The difference between comparison (human) and competition (optional) How social media fuels constant, low-grade competitive anxiety What “uncompeting” looks like in promotions, leadership, and career growth How to turn envy into data instead of self-destruction Why competing with other women isn't strategy—it's conditioning Bottom line: Uncompeting isn't about lowering ambition. It's about rejecting scarcity, defining success on your own terms, and building long-game leadership rooted in integrity—not insecurity. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode of the Model FA podcast, host David DeCelle spoke with Jennifer des Groseilliers, CEO of The Mather Group, to discuss her career journey, the firm's growth strategy, and its distinct business philosophy. Jennifer detailed her transition from practicing law to becoming a financial advisor, moving through the broker-dealer world to ultimately embrace the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) structure. The conversation explored The Mather Group's holistic service platform, which includes in-house tax and investment construction, its two-part M&A integration approach, and how their core value of "Unreasonable Hospitality" drives success metrics like high client retention and referrals.In this episode: • The RIA Model is a Growth Area: Jennifer des Groseilliers' move from the broker-dealer world highlights the perceived stability and future of the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) model. • Embrace Holistic Wealth Management: The Mather Group's success with $15B in AUM/A is built on a comprehensive platform that integrates financial planning, in-house tax services, investment management, and a family office approach. This "all-in-one" model offers greater efficiency and coordination for clients. • M&A Success Hinges on Culture: For firms pursuing growth via mergers and acquisitions, the primary focus ("heavy lifting") should be on ensuring cultural alignment, not just operational synergy. • Define Success by "Unreasonable Hospitality": High client retention and referral rates can be achieved by moving beyond basic service to align a client's financial goals with their personal values, creating a truly exceptional experience. • Strategic Growth is Dual-Track: The firm demonstrates that expansion can be effectively achieved through both organic client acquisition and strategic M&A. • Team Structure and Governance Matter: Utilizing a team-based service model and having an advisory council composed of equity owners are effective mechanisms for ensuring service consistency and internal goal alignment. • Advice for Women in Finance: Aspiring women professionals should seek out firms that demonstrably align with their personal values and provide a genuinely supportive working environment.  #RIAMergers #FinancialAdvisor #WealthManagement #TheMatherGroup #ModelFA #RIAAcquisitions #FinancialPlanning #UnreasonableHospitality #BusinessStrategy #WomenInFinance #SuccessionPlanning #OrganicGrowth #TaxServices Connect with Jennifer des Groseilliers and The Mather Group: Website: TheMatherGroup.com Email: info@TheMatherGroup.com --- About the Model FA Podcast The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.

Episode Summary In this fast-paced episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what it really takes to find success as a business coach—mindset, habits, and strategy. Karl unpacks the psychology of consistently getting clients, the myths of overnight success, and how to bulletproof your business career through discipline, focus, and helping others first. Practical frameworks, lessons from millionaires, and a "moment of zen" make this episode a blueprint for leveling up your coaching or entrepreneurial journey. Key Topics Covered Mindset and The Power of Identity The hosts stress that your internal story and self-identity dramatically impact your success more than any tactic or system, urging coaches to affirm: "Getting clients is easy, getting clients is fun." Repetition and positive self-talk are powerful tools; cultivating the right mindset is foundational. Lead Generation as a Science Karl insists lead generation isn't as hard as it seems—it's a matter of discipline and consistency ("30 cold calls a day"). The game is about setting targets you can actually hit and compounding effort daily, not chasing instant results. Embracing Detours and the Reality of the Journey The path to success is never a straight line. There will always be pain, uncertainty, and constant work regardless of your level. Coaches must learn to enjoy the process, be resilient to setbacks, and stay focused on the big goal—a recurring theme throughout. Networking and Building Local Networks The richest individuals and biggest companies succeed by building invaluable networks, not just businesses. Hosting local events, forming joint ventures, and visibility in the community are vital for creating scalable opportunities. Serving First and The Right Reasons for Outreach The most effective outreach comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help, not just needing a client. Focus on delivering value—even a cold call can be transformative if the intent is service. The Compounding Advantage of Habits Consistency and focus (making daily calls, hosting regular events) lead to outcomes that compound over time—just like in the gym. Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Procrastination Coaches must address self-sabotage head-on ("The Mountain Is You" concept), replace negative flywheels with positive routines, and maintain discipline especially when motivation fades. Notable Quotes "You can't change who you are until you change who you think you are." "Lead generation is not that hard. It's more scientific than anything else you'll do in coaching." "The crazy ones make all the money." "Decide what you want, be dogmatic about your destination—and flexible about how you get there." "Build a business you could sell tomorrow, but don't want to." "Pain, uncertainty, constant work—those are the constants at every level." Actionable Takeaways Network Ruthlessly: Run weekly local events, form alliances, and put yourself "in play" to multiply your influence and authority. Serve Before You Sell: Always call or reach out with the intent to help, not just close a client; fix their real problems, not just your revenue needs. Bulletproof Your Lead Gen: Set a realistic, daily outreach target (e.g., 25-30 calls) and stick to it, especially on tough days. Progress compounds. Define Success—and Focus Relentlessly: Know exactly what you want (monthly income, number of clients, events per week) and use clear targets—don't just chase vague goals. Address Self-Sabotage Directly: Read "The Mountain Is You," reflect on your emotional flywheel, and turn self-awareness into positive habits. Face what holds you back.

Elisa Trentham is a legacy storyteller, founder of Sherwood Media, and adjunct instructor who's learned how to build a video business on her own terms. In this conversation, she shares why elevating client experience matters more than having the fanciest gear, how she's building her own distribution platform through live events, and the importance of defining success based on your values—not someone else's highlight reel. Key Takeaways Client experience is everything – From pre-production prep to the actual set, creating an elevated experience for your clients sets you apart more than your camera specs ever will. Build your own platform – Instead of relying solely on social media algorithms, create your own distribution through live events and community experiences where you control the narrative. Define success on your terms – Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. Your journey, your values, and your definition of success are what matter. Be a "heck yes" person – If you're going to say yes to something, go all in. But also give yourself permission to pivot when something's not working anymore. About Elisa Trentham Elisa is a Knoxville native, business owner, wife, and mother of three who has spent her career capturing stories that matter. Her journey began in her backyard, making movies with friends using her parents' camcorder. That passion led her to Asbury University where she earned a Media Communication degree and gained experience working broadcast at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and on film sets in Hollywood. After college, Elisa joined University of Tennessee professors as the Media Production Coordinator for an international women's empowerment program funded by the State Department. This role taught her how to tell powerful stories with a simple camera and microphone, and gave her opportunities to travel around the world. But her most meaningful projects are much more personal to her - creating a "legacy films" capturing the stories of people who have impacted her life, her grandmother, her father, and even her midwife. Through this 10-year business and storytelling journey, Elisa developed her storytelling values of honor, truth, and love. Today, Elisa continues to help individuals and organizations share their stories through her production company, bringing the same blend of technical expertise and emotional intelligence to every project, whether it's filmed in a boardroom or a living room.

Be a heck yes person. Like go in there and if you say yes, like give it your all." – Elisa Trentham "I can't let what somebody else is doing and what somebody else is defined as success for them... I gotta live this one right here." – Ryan Koral "It doesn't have to be my forever plan... there's no perfect plan you can make that's going to last for decades and decades." – Elisa Trentham Guest Links Follow Elisa Trentham on LinkedIn | Instagram  Links Find out more about the Studio Sherpas Mastermind Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Join the Studio Sherpas newsletter

For the first time, employees from as many as five generations are working side by side—each bringing distinct expectations, work habits, and communication styles. It's a dynamic that offers both opportunity and friction.In this B-Side episode, BusinessWorld talks with Acumen Strategy Consultants—VP for Organization Transformation, Cherry Tantoco-Daniels, and Consulting Project Manager & Consulting Associate, Trizia “Trish” Magalino about how companies can manage a multigenerational workforce to boost productivity and group.Interview by Beatriz CruzAudio editing by Jayson John Marinas

Every leader has an Apollo Creed.Not just in the ring…But in their head.The voice that doubts you.Mocks you.Questions your readiness.Tells you you're not built for this.In this episode of The Shadows Podcast, we launch a new chapter of the show—expanding beyond emotional intelligence into leadership, identity, and mental warfare—through one of the most iconic films of all time: Rocky (1976).This isn't about boxing.It's about learning how to train for the fight in your mind…so you're ready for the fight in real life.Because leadership isn't just strategy and skill.It's psychological endurance.It's showing up while being doubted—by others and by yourself.Using Rocky Balboa's journey, we break down three powerful Leadership Cheat Codes you can apply whether your “ring” is a workcenter, a conference room, a command office, a classroom, a gym, or your kitchen table at the end of a long day.

How do you transition from the world’s most promising talent to a triple Olympic gold medalist while balancing a Master’s? For Gabby Thomas, the path to Paris was paved with a refined commitment to her own longevity. After the intense physical toll of the Tokyo cycle and the subsequent seasons of high-stakes racing, Gabby opens up about the essential "choice to choose me"—the deliberate decision to prioritize her health, recovery, and mental wellness over the external pressure to constantly perform. This shift wasn't just about physical rest; it was about building a sustainable foundation that allowed her to walk onto the track in Paris with a sense of calm that only comes from knowing your "why." That intentionality resulted in a career-defining performance in 2024. Thomas cemented her status as the fastest woman in the world over 200 meters, taking home the individual gold in Paris along with two additional gold medals as a dominant force in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. On this week's episode, we dive into how she manages the "mental load" of being a champion, the data-driven approach she takes to her health, and why her purpose in public health remains the north star for everything she does on the track. IN THIS EPISODE The emotional high of winning individual gold in Paris Juggling Ivy League academics with elite track and field training Why she pursued a Master’s in public health and how it shapes her worldview Her "I’m choosing me first" mantra regarding health and recovery The evolution of her mental toolkit and handling Olympic-level pressure Her partnership with Amazfit and the role of data in her wellness routine Looking ahead: Goals and dreams for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Purpose and Perspective "It’s bigger than me. It’s about my purpose and what I want to show the younger generation." "Success is not defined by the speed at which you reach your goals." On Mental Health and Longevity "I'm choosing me first. Health and longevity beat pressure and headlines every time." "If you get caught up in needing to prove you belong, you've already lost the plot." On Resilience "Setbacks and rejections are all part of the journey and present valuable learning opportunities." "My bronze in Tokyo was a testament to resilience after a year of personal setbacks."

Is happiness a skill you can develop? Or is it a place you find yourself, if you're lucky? Today's podcast is a bonus episode that I've recorded, from me to you, to demonstrate that yes, happiness is about more than just chance. These special Boxing Day podcasts are becoming a bit of a tradition now (look out for one I'll be releasing on New Year's Day too). And in this one, I share five powerful ideas with you – five happiness habits that can transform your life in meaningful ways. They're all explored in much greater detail in my book Happy Mind Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways to Feel Great Every Day, which is being re-published in the UK in an exciting new format on 1 January 2026. But you can leverage your happiness levels right away by listening today. Here's a quick overview of what you'll learn: 1. Happiness is a Skill - Discover the difference between ‘junk happiness' and ‘core happiness' to feel more content, in control, and aligned with your values. 2. Define Success for Yourself - Imagine yourself on your deathbed and identify three things you'll wish you had done. What can you do now to move toward that ending? 3. Eliminate Choice - We make thousands of decisions a day, and each one drains mental energy. By creating routines and reducing choice, you can reduce that stress. 4. Make Time Stand Still - Identify ‘flow state' activities that make you lose track of time, and schedule them as investments in your happiness. 5. Seek Out Friction - If someone upsets you, ask yourself why their words affected you so much. Rewriting their story with compassion will increase your own sense of control. I hope this episode helps you and your family cultivate lasting happiness in 2026 and beyond. I explore all these ideas and many more in my newly formatted book Happy Mind Happy Life - available here as a paperback or as an audiobook, which I am narrating.

In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected epiphany I had on a Michigan highway that completely changed how I view my business—and success itself. After years of trying to follow the industry's push to “scale,” I realized I didn't actually want a scalable offer. What I truly wanted was impact, freedom, and a business built on my terms. Let's dive into why becoming a true business genius starts with defining success for yourself—not based on what coaches, consultants, or the online space say you “should” want. Whether success for you means multiple locations, a three-day-a-week schedule, a seven-figure business, or simply a steady paycheck that supports your life, I want to help you get clear on what your end goal really is. If you're ready to let go of vanity metrics, reduce the stress, and start building a business that genuinely serves you, this episode is your invitation.

  Guests: Parker and Abbi Panetti   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is the fourth and final installment of our amazing series with Parker and Abbi examining a variety of angles of college life so that you, as parents, can prepare your students for the various obstacles and opportunities awaiting them on a college campus. The question we ask and answer in this episode is “what does success look like” on a college campus? Some may think that success is getting a 4.0 GPA or landing the “right” job when you graduate…but there's more…much more to God's design for your student. Listen and learn in this great final conversation with Parker and Abbi.

This episode is for anyone staring down the end of the year wondering if they "succeeded"—comparing themselves to external markers, measuring their worth by what didn't happen, or feeling behind despite doing the work. We explore how to define success on your own terms, celebrate what actually matters, and set yourself up for meaningful progress ahead.The Big QuestionHow do I define success as I reflect on the past year and plan for the next?What We CoverGround yourself in your actual goals – Compare yourself to what you originally set out to do, not what others achieved or external markers say you should have done.Account for pivots – Document when your plans changed. Those adjustments often represent good leadership, not failure.Balance input and output goals – Focus on what you control (inputs like sending weekly newsletters) alongside desired outcomes (outputs like business growth). Input goals give you agency and realistic measures of success.Get specific with your vision – "Getting a job" isn't enough. Define the job you want, at the company you want, doing work you want to do.Give yourself grace – Sometimes success is showing up through a hard year. No one else knows the battles you fought.Key TakeawaySuccess isn't just about hitting January's goals. It's about acknowledging what shifted, celebrating the inputs you controlled, and defining what matters to you—not what external markers say should matter.Resources MentionedRuchika Malhotra, Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock SuccessResources:Navigating a big transition?

We spend a ridiculous amount of our lives at work—so why do so many people hate it? In this conversation, we go straight at the big question: how do we actually make work good? Together with Moe Carrick, culture architect, work futurist, and author of When Work Is Good, we unpack the seven human needs of work (connection, safety, contribution, growth, fair pay… the whole lineup), why “throw money at it” is a terrible engagement strategy, and what leaders and employees can both do—today—to create workplaces fit for human life. We also talk psychological safety, reality-checking pay perceptions, modeling the behavior we demand, and why exquisite self-care is a productivity tool, not a perk.  What you'll learn (and probably text to your boss

Being rich is having a high bank account balance; being wealthy is having a life rich in time, purpose, peace, and control. By making this distinction, you unlock these profound benefits:You Achieve Financial Freedom, Not Just Income:The Benefit: You shift your focus from simply earning more (the rat race) to building assets and systems that buy back your time. This is the only path to genuine Financial Freedom, where your income no longer dictates your daily schedule. You stop selling your time for money.Keywords: Financial Freedom, Passive Income, Escape the Rat Race, Sustainable Wealth.You Prioritize Peace Over Pressure:The Benefit: The pursuit of "richness" often comes with crippling stress, anxiety, and the need for external validation. When you prioritize wealth, you focus on inner clarity and peace. This mindset ensures your success is sustainable and protects you from the emotional burnout that plagues many high-earners.Keywords: Inner Peace, Wealth Mindset, Sustainable Success, Overcome Burnout.You Gain True Control and Purpose:The Benefit: Wealth is the ultimate tool for autonomy. It gives you the freedom to say 'no' to things that drain you and 'yes' to work that is meaningful and aligns with your life purpose. This focus on contribution and meaningful work is the final layer of True Wealth that no amount of money alone can buy.Keywords: Life Purpose, True Control, Personal Autonomy, Define Success.Stop letting the pursuit of money steal your happiness. It's time to define and build the wealthy life you truly deserve.

If you don't personally define success, the world will do it for you—and you may not like the outcome. In this episode, I'll share practical questions to help you clarify your values, vision, and impact so you can create a personal definition of success that actually fits your life.You Got This, Ryan

What makes a successful life? Chad reacts to poll answers on the topic and how they vary greatly between men and women on each side politically.

What does success really mean? In this episode, Drs. Milt Lowder and Drew Brannon take a deep dive into redefining success. Through a thoughtful “audit,” they pose key questions that challenge common assumptions about achievement. Instead of focusing solely on outcomes, they explore the deeper value found in the pursuit itself. Tune in to reframe your definition of success and uncover what truly makes the journey worthwhile.

On this edition of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil open up the mailbag for the first time in a long time to answer questions built around the Ducks' 2025 season and their upcoming season-opening game against Montana State this Saturday. Matt and Erik discuss what can people expect to see on Saturday and how we'd view the game in a successful light, what position group has the most to prove for Oregon week one, if the Ducks won't truly know how good they are until Week five of this season, and then our thoughts on the Oregon offense and if they're getting away from the run game or not. All that and a lot more is discussed on this edition of the Autzen Audibles Podcast!

Kristen Faulkner won two gold medals for cycling at the 2024 Olympics, less than eight years after starting riding competitively.

How much value we place on birthday wishes from friends? Do they actually matter, or is it the thought (or the public shoutout) that counts? From there, we dive into a new study revealing a generational shift in how success is defined: younger folks are prioritizing mental and physical health above wealth, status, or career, with relationships, personal growth, and flexibility ranking higher than ever before. We open up about how our priorities have shifted over time, and a common link is when our mental health wasn't in a good place, we knew we needed to make lifestyle changes and have better boundaries with work. What is with the American cultural obsession with upward mobility? We discuss a few examples of other countries where it seems like work/life balance is much healthier. This week's recommendations are Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Andrew), The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart (Laura), and Color Wow Dream Coat (Pam).  And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're inspired by that cheating CEO/HR director pair at the Coldplay concert to spill some juicy deets about cheating couples we've known who also told on themselves. From getting tagged during a night out after lying about working to backroom hookups caught on camera, we live for the tea. Social media has made it easier than ever to catch people in a lie, and we share personal stories (and a few laughs) about how the truth always seems to come out... sometimes thanks to LinkedIn, Snapchat, or a poorly timed tag.

I emphasize the significance of social media in 2024, stating that not taking it seriously means missing out on opportunities for growth and exposure. We also talk about the importance of redefining success beyond monetary gains, focusing on the joy of the process, doing what you love, and much more!
