Tried It All? How One Veteran Found His Path by Figuring It Out Along the Way What if the biggest barrier to entrepreneurial success isn't having a perfect plan, but being paralyzed by trying to find one? In this episode of Engineer Your Success, Dr. James Bryant talks with Matt Thompson, Navy veteran, management consultant, and franchise owner, about the power of taking action without having all the answers. From missing out on the Naval Academy to opening a men's grooming franchise, Matt shares why "figuring it out along the way" often beats waiting for the perfect opportunity. You'll discover why communication with your spouse is the most overlooked aspect of entrepreneurship, how to pivot when reality doesn't match expectations, and what it really means to "just do it" in business. Whether you're considering a career change or exploring franchise ownership, this episode will help you move from analysis to action. Key Moments in the Episode 00:00 – The Cost of Poor Communication: Matt's biggest regret about starting his franchise and the hidden burden on spouses 02:10 – From Naval Academy Rejection to 20-Year Career: How being a "first alternate" led to an unexpected path of continuous growth 03:32 – The Chemistry Degree He Never Used: Why trying multiple paths until something fits is better than forcing the wrong one 04:43 – Accidental Entrepreneur: From retirement planning to owning a training company—how opportunities reveal themselves 05:42 – Hammer & Nails Franchise Discovery: Why his wife's "no food" rule led to the men's grooming industry 07:25 – Surprising Customer Insights: The unexpected demographics embracing men's self-care and manicures 08:35 – Marketing Reality Check: Why explaining your business concept to every potential customer is harder than expected 12:37 – Three Pieces of Franchise Advice: Just do it, ask for help, and talk to anyone who's done it before 15:25 – The Communication Lesson: What Matt wishes he knew about preparing his wife for the stress and uncertainty 18:50 – Role Reversal Interview: Matt turns the tables and interviews Dr. Bryant about entrepreneurial lessons 23:09 – Defining Success: How winning at work and home changes as life circumstances evolve Key Insights & Takeaways Don't wait for the perfect plan—start moving forward and pivot as needed The biggest entrepreneurial challenge is often communication with your spouse, not business strategy Be willing to "figure it out" rather than having all the answers upfront Most business people are eager to help and share their experiences if you approach them relationally Success definitions must evolve with your life circumstances and family needs

If you've ever felt successful on the outside but misaligned on the inside, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the truth about what happens when your strategy outpaces your sovereignty, and how I reclaimed my business, message, and leadership by choosing alignment over adrenaline. We'll dive into the identity recalibration that allowed me to stop abandoning myself inside my own success, how I restructured my business to support my nervous system (not just revenue goals), and why letting go—not doing more—is often the missing piece. I'll walk you through how I simplified everything, honored my energy, and began creating content that doesn't just perform, but resonates deeply.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Josh Patten, a seasoned leader with a diverse background, including a long tenure at Aetna and a deep experience in crisis leadership. We dive into the tension that many leaders face—the difference between leading authentically and being influenced by external expectations. Josh shares his struggles with leadership, the pressure to perform, and how he's navigating the gap between his core values and the demands of his role.The Tension of LeadershipJosh opens up about the struggles of leadership, particularly in high-pressure situations like layoffs and turnarounds. As someone who's often been in a crisis leadership role, Josh reflects on how he's consistently been able to lead others, but in doing so, he has lost track of leading himself. His candidness about feeling disconnected from his values provides a real, relatable moment for anyone in a leadership role who's ever felt the weight of leading others at the cost of themselves.The Disconnect Between Who We Are and What We DoJosh talks about the disconnect he feels between his core self—someone who thrives in vision, creativity, and inspiration—and the daily demands of his leadership position. Even though Josh is where he wanted to be five years ago, he finds himself exhausted and unfulfilled because of the gap between who he is and what he does every day. This reflects a struggle that many leaders face—being stuck in a position where they're thriving externally but feeling drained and unfulfilled internally.Struggling with the Need for MoreEven though Josh acknowledges the successes he's achieved, he constantly wrestles with the idea of wanting more. More impact. More growth. More engagement. He talks about the tension between feeling content with what he has and recognizing there is more he could do. This conflict of always striving for more while trying to appreciate the present moment is something that many leaders struggle with.Leadership and Personal GrowthJosh shares an important lesson: leadership isn't just about managing systems and teams—it's about knowing who you are and where you want to go. Being clear on your values and communicating those values to your team is essential for authentic leadership. Josh's personal story illustrates how his self-awareness and emotional intelligence have guided his journey, but also how challenging it can be to lead from a place of authenticity when there's external pressure to conform.The Struggle to Stay True to YourselfAs Josh reflects on the personal and professional tensions in his life, he shares that part of his struggle comes from wanting to be both a high-energy visionary and a calm, centred leader. This duality often leaves him feeling inadequate, as he tries to fit himself into roles that he believes others need him to fill. However, Josh ultimately realises that the key to overcoming this tension is not trying to change who he is, but to embrace his true self and lead authentically, even when it feels uncomfortable.The Importance of Healthy ConflictThroughout the conversation, Josh emphasises the importance of healthy conflict and being willing to rock the boat. He shares that his most effective leadership moments come when he leans into his natural ability to challenge the status quo. However, he also realises that, in corporate settings, this kind of leadership is often misunderstood as combative. The key takeaway here is that healthy conflict, when done with clarity and respect, can drive clarity and success within a team.Leading from Your Own ValuesIn the end, Josh and I reflect on how the best leaders are those who know their own values and are unafraid to lead from that place of authenticity. Josh's journey serves as a reminder that leaders need to focus not just on their external accomplishments, but also on how they show up authentically, making decisions aligned with their core values. Leadership isn't about being someone else—it's about owning who you are and leading others to do the same.Challenge for LeadersJosh's story is a powerful reminder for leaders to ask themselves: Am I leading authentically, or am I trying to fit into someone else's mould of what leadership should look like? Leaders must lean into their own strengths and values and trust that doing so will help create the type of leadership that attracts the right people and creates lasting impact.Resources Mentioned:Follow Josh on Instagram: @JoshPattenCoachJoin my free Leadership Training: Join me for a leadership session this month.

In this transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe and co-host Craig Andrews welcome Peter Teuscher, an international entrepreneur, senior corporate executive, transformational coach, and passionate advocate for soulful leadership. Across a deeply engaging conversation, Peter shares the twists and lessons of his journey from building businesses in Canada to coaching executives and leading workshops around the globe. Purpose, Happiness, and Leadership in the Modern World Right from the start, Peter unpacks the single biggest lesson drawn from his years in corporate and entrepreneurial environments: the indispensable role of purpose in work and life. He shares candid reflections about how a sense of meaning—knowing your “why”—is more fundamental than any promotion or paycheck. Peter drives home the point that true fulfillment stems not just from external success, but from the alignment between daily work and deeper values. In a world obsessed with positive change, Peter urges listeners to look inward, saying positive change is best measured by your sense of fulfillment and the value you bring to others, rather than just meeting surface-level goals. Through relatable anecdotes and stories from his global travels, he reveals how cultural differences impact leadership—contrasting Asia's hierarchical structures with North America's flatter, entrepreneurial approaches—and what it truly takes to build trust and earn respect as a leader in any environment. Curiosity, Resilience, and Reinvention Curiosity, according to Peter, has been a driving force at every stage of his journey. He recounts the leap of faith it took to leave a thriving Canadian business and embrace new challenges in Europe's corporate world—underscoring that real growth often demands stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. One of the most relatable segments comes when Peter and Craig explore the “myth of the slimy salesperson.” Drawing from decades of sales experience, Peter dismantles the outdated view that sales is about persuasion or manipulation. Modern selling, he insists, is rooted in service: “How can I add value? How can I be of help?” This mindset shift is essential not only for sales pros, but for coaches, content creators, and anyone learning to value their unique contributions in business. Confidence and “knowing your worth” are recurring themes, especially for new entrepreneurs struggling to price their services or articulate their value. Peter shares his early struggles with setting rates and how underpricing or giving work away for free diminished client commitment. Ultimately, he reveals, people won't value what you don't value yourself. Balancing Strategy with Intuition When the discussion turns to coaching leaders, Peter dives deep into the art of balancing rigorous strategy with a healthy dose of intuition. He explains that strategic models are merely guidelines—adaptability, presence, and gut instinct matter just as much, especially in unfamiliar or rapidly changing contexts. Peter encourages leaders to cultivate self-awareness, listen for feedback, and not become rigidly attached to any particular plan. Unlearning Corporate Habits: The Coach's Mindset Among the most striking insights is Peter's account of transitioning from corporate leadership, where giving answers is often the expectation, to coaching, where the art lies in asking the right questions. The shift from “solving problems” for others to empowering them to find their own answers is at the heart of his approach, and one of the main reasons he believes in the transformational power of good coaching. On Failure, Vulnerability, and Growth Both Peter and Wize share honest accounts of professional and personal “failures”—or as they reframe them, crucial learning moments. From significant business losses in Canada to questioning his own purpose later in life, Peter emphasizes that it's not the setbacks themselves, but the bounce-back and lessons learned, that shape who we become. He even describes hosting “failure nights,” encouraging leaders to openly discuss mistakes in order to build resilience and foster innovation. Vulnerability, according to Peter, doesn't undermine authority—it establishes trust. He outlines how admitting mistakes, showing your human side, and being authentic at work are key to building respect and inspiring others, far more than projecting invulnerability ever could. The Power of Personal Practice Listeners are also treated to Peter's personal daily practices—especially his quarter-century commitment to meditation and grounding morning rituals. These, he says, keep him connected to his purpose and ensure he approaches each day with clarity and intention. Defining Success and a Message for Future Changemakers Success, for Peter, is not defined by material achievements, but by continual growth and happiness. He leaves the audience with a resonant piece of advice: before trying to lift up others, first develop your own potential and sense of fulfillment. Only then can you truly inspire and help those around you. Episode Highlights: The critical importance of knowing your “why” How cultural differences shape leadership and trust Redefining sales from persuasion to service and value How to price yourself confidently as a coach, consultant, or creator The skill sets and mindset shifts needed to thrive in entrepreneurship vs. corporate life Vulnerability as an essential leadership quality Why authentic communication and deep listening are hallmarks of great leaders The transformative role of meditation and self-awareness practices About the Guest Peter Teuscher is a sought-after coach, facilitator, and the author of “Rethinking Happiness.” He works with leaders and teams worldwide, helping them overcome self-imposed barriers and step into more impactful, purpose-driven roles.

What does it mean to call something “Christian music”? Nick Barré has spent decades in the music industry—from working at EMI with early Switchfoot to managing major names like Casting Crowns, KB, Brandon Heath, and more. In this 200th episode of The Biblical Mind, he joins Dru Johnson to reflect on the Christian music label, the tension between calling and category, and how artists navigate faith and fame. Nick argues that labeling music—or restaurants or plumbers—as “Christian” may do more harm than good. He shares why genre categories are a business necessity but spiritually unhelpful, and why the most important questions artists must answer are about calling, audience, and identity—not chart placement. From spiritual burnout to public affirmation, from the temptations of platform to the dangers of envy, Nick shares pastoral, industry-hardened wisdom on how to guide artists into longevity and spiritual wholeness. He even offers advice for aspiring Christian musicians—and what it really means to “show, not tell” when pursuing a creative calling.
