Catheryn had a prayer journal idea she literally sketched out on paper before she ever touched a design program. Here's how she went from that sketch to a successful Kickstarter — and what she learned about faith, fear, and following through. Today I am sitting down with Catheryn, founder of Heartfelt Pages and Print School alumni. In this episode of the Dream Printing Podcast, Catheryn shares the story behind A Letter to God — a lined vegan leather prayer journal built around the simple format of Dear God to In Jesus' Name, Amen — and how eight years of personal journaling became a published product. You'll hear why Catheryn chose a Kickstarter to fund her first print run (and the faith conviction behind that decision), what the difference between print on demand and working with a quality manufacturer actually felt like in her hands, and the mindset shifts she had to work through around pricing, marketing, and putting herself out there. Her reminder that faith is an action verb is one you'll want to write down. Shop A Letter to God at heartfeltpages.com About me: I am Polly Payne, the CEO and founder of Horacio Printing. I have sold more than 60,000 Dream Planners around the world along with bible studies and journals. I now help other dreamers do the same, which is why I created Print School. Have a question?

D23 2026 wasn't just about the future of the Disney Parks. Disney also unveiled a massive slate of movies, animation, television, and more—and there was so much to discuss that we're splitting our Entertainment Showcase coverage into two episodes! In Part 1, we dig into Disney's upcoming movie and animation slate, including The Simpsons Movie, Lilo & Stitch 2, The Bluey Movie, Ice Age: Boiling Point, the live-action Tangled, Oswald, Incredibles 3, Coco 2, Gatto, Ghost Market, Romy & Michele 2, Frozen 3, Zootopia 3, Hexed, and Clay. Which announcements actually got us excited? Which sequels feel justified? Which originals caught our attention? And how deep into its enormous library of characters and franchises is Disney willing to go? Along the way, we start noticing an interesting pattern: for all the talk about Disney relying on sequels and familiar IP, both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation are still putting original movies on the slate. That raises a much bigger question we'll be coming back to soon. And we're not finished with D23 yet! Part 2 continues with Marvel, Star Wars, streaming, games, and the rest of Disney's Entertainment Showcase. What are your thoughts?

Most coaches and practitioners who stall out somewhere between 8 and 12K months assume the fix is more visibility, better credentials, or harder work. The actual gap usually sits somewhere else entirely, and once you see it, the income rollercoaster starts to make a lot more sense. In this episode, I'm breaking down the single asset that separates businesses with predictable revenue from businesses that reset every month. I call it the sales bridge, and it's the connection between everything you publish and the offer you want people to buy.  I'm also walking through what happened with a client of mine, Chris, a UK nutritionist who had been in business since 2009, podcasting since 2015, and selling high ticket one-on-one with no trouble at all. His group program was a different story. Two launches, £10,000 of ad spend on the second one, refunds, and almost no profit later, he was ready to shut the whole thing down. What we changed was smaller than you'd expect, and his revenue doubled in a year when a lot of businesses were shrinking. If your income has been resetting every month no matter how much effort you pour in, this conversation will show you exactly where the leak is and what to build instead. Timeline Highlights [00:00] – The income rollercoaster: 8 to 12K months, the occasional spike, and the reset that always follows [03:25] – Why sales that run on manual effort and good timing can never compound [04:49] – The asset that sells for you every day, including the days you don't show up [05:32] – What a sales bridge is and how it links your marketing to your paid offer [07:58] – Chris's situation: ten years in business, easy high ticket sales, and a group program nobody wanted [11:35] – Why his one-on-one had demand baked in and his group program never did [12:26] – Two launches, £10,000 in ad spend, a discount strategy, and a wave of refunds [18:59] – The podcast mention that produced six sales in a week and what it proved about his audience [23:33] – The three changes we made: a hybrid offer, thesis messaging, and getting discoverable again [29:25] – Everything we deliberately left alone, including his niche, his prices, and his podcast [32:24] – The outcome: doubled revenue, 4,500 to 13,000 followers, and a four-day week [39:27] – Who the one-on-one sales and systems audit is built for Top Quotes from the Episode "If nothing connects your marketing to your offer, your income will reset every single month no matter how much effort you pour into it." "Chasing people in the DMs and spending forty-five minutes on a call explaining your offer is what happens when nothing else in your business is doing that work for you." "You want people arriving at sales conversations with one foot already in your offer, needing one last touchpoint from you to say yes." "Demand you don't have to create is the most valuable thing in your business. Chris's one-on-one had it. His group program never did." "Lowering the price is what people reach for when an offer isn't landing, and it's almost never the thing that moves it." "Your thesis is the set of beliefs that, once someone takes them on, make your offer the obvious next step for them." "Chris didn't have a traffic problem, a skill problem, or a work ethic problem. He had marketing on one side, an offer on the other, and nothing carrying people across." Links & Resources Take the "What's Your CEO Type?"

Jeff Mains sits down with Elie Bouzaglou, founder of Fish Tank, a video-first crowdfunding platform built for a generation that discovered entrepreneurship on their phone. Elie built an AI voice-call analysis tool as an internal sales tool at his web agency, only to have his team push him to bring it to market. After getting rejected by Republic, Wefunder, and every major crowdfunding platform, Elie didn't blame his product — he blamed the format. Pitch decks are boring, gatekept, and built for VCs, not consumers. His answer: a platform where founders pitch like content creators and everyday people can watch and actually invest, Shark Tank style. The conversation covers building in public, going "all in" on a risky content bet that proved his thesis before launch, why the next Mark Zuckerberg is more likely to be an ex-UGC creator than a programmer, and his "carefully reckless" framework for tackling the thing founders are most afraid of.Key Takeaways3:48 — How Elie's internal AI sales tool became a product because his team saw value he didn't.6:15 — Why the tool wasn't VC fundable, and the pivot toward crowdfunding.10:30 — The core insight: crowdfunding's real problem isn't quality, it's that discovery is boring.13:01 — Why people will binge-watch Shark Tank but can't invest in it — and how Fish Tank closes that gap.17:10 — The "pushing a car" metaphor: starting is the hardest part, momentum does the rest.19:46 — His trick for beating camera-shyness: film it and tell yourself you won't post it.28:54 — Why the next Zuckerberg probably won't be a programmer — it'll be an ex-UGC creator.36:42 — The "carefully reckless" framework: name the thing you're avoiding, write it down, do it.37:31 — The story of betting nearly his last dollar on a content shoot with a VC-turned-content-creator — and how it proved his thesis before launch.40:19 — Why investors are just people, and being seen with flaws beats not being seen at all.41:59 — On dealing with online hate: most of it comes from jealousy, not dislike.Tweetable Quotes"The worst possible case scenario is no one knows who you are. It's not bad PR — that's where you're at right now, and it can only get better." — Elie Bouzaglou"You have to be carefully reckless. What is the thing you are delaying the most? What is the thing you're most afraid of? And just do it." — Elie Bouzaglou"It's always easier to build than to start from zero." — Elie Bouzaglou"I believe the next Mark Zuckerberg will not be a programmer. He'll probably be an ex-UGC person." — Elie Bouzaglou"The greatest success is just on the other side of that fear." — Jeff Mains"When someone hates on you and takes time out of their day to comment, it's because they're jealous — not because they actually dislike what you're doing." — Elie BouzaglouSaaS Leadership LessonsShip it even if you don't see the value. Elie almost never brought his internal tool to market — his team had to convince him. Don't assume "anyone could build this" means no one wants it.Question the format, not just the product. When rejected by every platform, Elie didn't fix his pitch — he concluded the entire crowdfunding format was broken and built a new one.Momentum beats planning. His "pushing a car" philosophy: the hardest part is starting; perfect names, decks, and plans can wait.Break big fears into small, reversible actions. Film it without posting. Schedule it with the option to cancel. Small, low-stakes steps unlock big behavior changes.Distribution is a founder skill now, not a marketing afterthought. Building in public and mastering short-form content may matter more than technical pedigree for the next generation of founders.Bet asymmetrically on your scariest move. Spending nearly his last dollar on a content shoot was terrifying — but the asymmetric upside (VC access, proof of concept, investor DMs) made it the right kind of reckless.Guest Resourceselie@fishtank.vchttps://www.fishtank.vceliebouzaglou.comeliebouzaglou.com/linkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/elie-bouzaglo/https://www.instagram.com/ftnk.elieEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Jacob Paris has been a sewer, a screen printer, a graphic designer, a streamer, and now an Adobe contractor. Somehow the biggest turning point in his career wasn't a job, a client, or a big break. It was a DM.In this episode, Jacob traces his creative path from teaching himself to sew on TikTok during the 2020 lockdown, to tie-dyeing a viral Travis Scott shirt that hit nearly a million views, to running a screen-print shop in Philadelphia that printed for acts like 100 gecs, Online Ceramics, and Nine Inch Nails. He opens up about the boss who told him, on his way out the door, that "not everyone's cut out for the art world," and how that one sentence lit a fire that pushed him to freelance full-time and land clients like Microsoft, Adobe, and JBL.Then the story takes a turn nobody sees coming: a nurse named Joanna slides into his DMs, they bond over Magic: The Gathering, and nine months later Jacob is on a 13-hour flight to meet her for the first time. What started as an internet friendship turned into a relationship, a marriage, and a full relocation from Philadelphia to Calgary, Alberta, a move Jacob describes as "exclusively beneficial," despite starting completely from scratch in a new country with zero followers or credibility.We dig into what Jacob calls the "medium fish in a smaller, less crowded pond" effect: how leaving an oversaturated market like Philly for a tighter-knit, less gatekept creative scene actually accelerated his growth. And we get into the mindset that's carried him through all of it: comparison as the thief of joy, doing things first instead of best, and the belief that the fear of failure is scarier than failure itself.This one's a masterclass in staying durable, not by having it all figured out, but by staying curious, staying humble, and saying yes to the DM.Guest LinksWebsite: https://www.byjacobparis.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-paris-798547306/

Click here to get on the Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat WaitlistThis week on The Starting Messy Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I don't usually get vulnerable about — the stuff that's actually gone right for me. I'm walking you through exactly how I took my Industry Unplugged retreat from an idea in my head to (nearly) sold out in under six months, and the three things that made it happen.Here's the thing — I didn't wait until everything was perfect. I put out a waitlist before I had a venue, before I had dates, before my website was even done. And I'm breaking down why acting fast, before you talk yourself out of it, is one of the most important lessons I've learned in business.I'm also getting into something I don't always say out loud: I believe in my ability to figure things out more than I've ever believed in anything. Not because I have all the answers — I don't — but because I trust myself to handle whatever comes. That's a muscle, and I'm telling you exactly how I built it.And the third piece is the one that got me a little emotional to talk about — trust. I've spent the last decade showing up as the same person online, in the salon, and in my DMs. No performance, no bullshit. That's what filled this retreat, and it's the same thing that fills your chair.If you're a hairstylist or salon owner who's tired of white-knuckling your way through growth and wants to actually trust yourself while you build something — this episode is for you.In this episode:How I filled a waitlist before I had a single detail nailed downWhy speed beats "perfect" every timeThe self-trust work that let me believe in something before it existedHow a decade of showing up as myself built the trust that sold this out

"Instagram's not converting for me." Sound familiar?I hear this constantly. But here's the reframe I want you to take from this episode: the real issue usually isn't Instagram, it's the role you've assigned it in your overall funnel.In this episode, I'm walking through three real client stories, each one thinking Instagram was "failing" them, and how looking at their actual data and goals changed what Instagram's job was supposed to be in the first place.If you've ever felt like Instagram owes you sales just because you're showing up there, this one's for you.If you LOVED this episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @contentqueenmariah.⁠⁠⁠LEARN THE DETAILS OF A CONTENT STRATEGY WITH MY FREE AUDIO GUIDE⁠⁠⁠KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS

Instagram isn't working like it used to. Facebook reach is down. And LinkedIn just quietly became the best platform for coaches who have a clear niche and something real to say.I sit down with Nina Froriep, a LinkedIn featured Brand Builder and Content and Engagement Strategist for creators, coaches, and consultants. A recovering film producer and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Nina now helps service-based entrepreneurs grow their companies organically on LinkedIn, without bro marketing tactics, without gaming the algorithm, and without posting five times a day.In this conversation, Nina breaks down the three algorithm shifts that just changed everything on LinkedIn. Follower count no longer drives reach. Your topic fingerprint does. Over half of your content is now being shown to strangers, people who've never seen your work before. And the real game now is what happens after you post: the engagement, the comments, the DMs, the relationships.You'll also hear why AI-generated comments are starting to backfire badly, what a no bro marketing DM actually sounds like, and what happens when a coach finally gives LinkedIn a real shot.This is the episode that will change how you think about finding coaching clients.Grab the free course, Stop Guessing and Start Signing Clients, and start building a coaching business that's actually yours: https://candymotzek.lpages.co/vfo/Want to see what's actually working for coaches right now?

⚠️Trigger warning: this episode discusses rape, sexual assault, and PTSD.⚠️ What do you do when the worst thing you never expected becomes the story you were always meant to tell? Jessica shares the journey from sexual assault survivor to published author — and why healing has to include God. Today I am sitting down with Jessica, founder of Sting and Honey and author of *This Is Her: Navigating PTSD with God*. In this episode of the Dream Printing Podcast, Jessica shares her personal story of surviving sexual assault, navigating PTSD across eight years of healing, and why she wrote the faith-based resource she couldn't find anywhere else. You'll hear what Jessica learned about complex PTSD that most people don't talk about, why she believes secular therapy alone leaves a gap for Christian women, and what it actually looked like to bring this book to life after years of feeling silenced by trauma. Whether you're in the thick of healing or just starting to ask hard questions, this conversation is an honest look at what it means to navigate the unthinkable with God — not around him.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I started thinking about something that has become clearer to me the more I study, the more I put myself in different environments, and the more I reflect on my own life. There is a blueprint to success. There may be a million different ways to make a million dollars, build a business, or create the life you want, but the principles behind getting there remain very similar. There are certain actions, patterns, and ways of thinking that consistently produce results. One of the biggest principles I have learned is that you have to understand that this is all a game. And if you are going to play the game, you better understand the rules. You Are Going to Hit a Wall I tell agents this all the time. You are going to hit a wall. You can do all the right things. You can follow the same strategies as somebody producing at an elite level. You can market, follow up, make the calls, create the videos, and put in the work. And you still may not see results right away. That is where the game really begins. The worst thing you can do during that season is convince yourself that something is wrong with you. You start questioning whether you are good enough. You start comparing yourself to everyone around you. You start wondering why everybody else seems to be getting rewarded while you are doing all this work with nothing to show for it. That wall is not proof that you should stop. The wall is part of the game. If you want bigger goals, bigger opportunities, and a bigger life, you have to understand that bigger problems come attached to them. The problems are building your capacity to operate at the level you say you want. It is not just about taking action and getting a result. It is about becoming capable of continuing those actions when the results are nowhere to be found. Stop Torturing Yourself Over the Timeline Real estate is one of the easiest places to become emotionally attached to immediate results. You decide today that you are going all in. You start marketing. You begin following up. A couple weeks go by and nothing happens. Then you start questioning everything. But think about how this business actually works. Even if you meet the right client today, you still have to schedule the appointment, complete the consultation, get them qualified, find the property, negotiate the contract, and eventually close the transaction. You could easily be 60 days away from getting paid. That is if everything goes right. So why are you torturing yourself seven days into the process? Understanding the timeline allows you to stop reacting emotionally and start thinking strategically. You cannot plant the seed today and become angry tomorrow because there is no tree. You have to understand the game you chose to play. Read the Rules Before You Decide the Game Does Not Work This weekend I played Monopoly with my daughter, and I realized something funny. For years, I had been playing the game wrong. I thought you had to go around the board before buying property. I did not understand some of the auction rules. Once we actually read the instructions, the entire game changed. It became faster. It became more strategic. It became more exciting. Nothing about Monopoly changed. My understanding of the game changed. That is what happens in business. Sometimes you are frustrated because you are trying to play according to rules that do not exist. You believe success should happen faster. You believe problems mean you are failing. You believe somebody leaving means you are not good enough. Then you become emotional because reality is not matching the game you created in your head. Maybe you just need to understand the rules. The Problem Is Usually Not the Root Cause One of our agents reached out to me because a potential client he had invested significant time into decided to go somewhere else. He did the research. He contacted builders. He looked into incentives. He invested his time. Then the client disappeared. It would be easy to say the client was the problem. But that does not solve anything. If this continues happening, we have to dig deeper. Was there a consultation? Was there a commitment? Was the buyer broker agreement explained and signed? Was there a process that solidified the relationship? Or were we hoping that being available, friendly, and helpful would automatically create loyalty? That is where reflection becomes powerful. The client leaving is not necessarily the root cause. Maybe the root cause is your process. Then we can go deeper. Why did losing one client affect you so much? Maybe because that was the only opportunity in your pipeline. Why was there only one opportunity? Maybe your marketing has not been consistent. Maybe you stopped creating organic content. Maybe you stopped reaching out to your database. Maybe you stopped communicating with your past clients. Maybe conversations are happening in your DMs and never making it into Follow Up Boss. Now we are getting somewhere. The problem you see on the surface is rarely where the problem actually started. Your Current Results Were Created Earlier One of the things I am most grateful for today is the A.Z. from five years ago. I am grateful for the guy who got up and did what was required even when he did not feel like doing it. I appreciate the A.Z. from ten years ago. I appreciate the A.Z. from two years ago. I appreciate the A.Z. from six months ago. That dude was dedicated. The lifestyle I have today exists because a previous version of me made decisions that I am benefiting from now. That means we have to ask ourselves a difficult question. What is the version of you six months from now going to think about the person you are today? Will that person be grateful that you finally became consistent? Will that person be grateful that you started marketing every day? Will that person be grateful that you followed up? Will that person be grateful that you finally hired the help you needed? Or will you look backward and realize you wasted another six months doing exactly what you already knew was not working? Your future results are being created right now. Pain Is Part of the Process We spend too much time trying to avoid pain. But pain gives us information. When something does not work, there is something to learn. When you lose a client, there is something to analyze. When your pipeline is empty, there is something to correct. When your production stops growing, there is something that needs to change. The goal is not to sit inside that pain and feel sorry for yourself. The goal is to reflect. Identify the problem. Then go deeper. Find the root cause. Create a game plan. Execute. Then understand that this process is going to happen again at the next level. That is the game. The problems that once made you question everything eventually become the exact problems that built your capacity. Build the Capacity for More If you want your next deal, there is a game plan. Market consistently. Follow up with every person. Send the messages. Create the videos. Use Follow Up Boss. Stay organized. Do it every single day. Then give the process enough time to work. If you are already producing at a high level and want to double your business, your problem may be different. You may need people. You may need personnel who become an extension of you. You cannot continue taking everything on yourself and then complain that you have reached your limit. Every new level requires a new solution. And once the results start coming, do not stop doing the things that created them. That is another mistake people make. They generate leads until they become busy fulfilling on those leads. Then they stop marketing. They stop following up. They stop prospecting. Eventually the pipeline empties again. The game is building the capacity to handle all of it. The goal is to become someone who can see the problems coming and respond before they take you out of the game. At some point, you begin realizing that the difficulties you thought were against you were actually building you. So when you hit that wall, do not immediately assume something has gone wrong. Take a step back. Read the rules. Find the lesson. Identify the root cause. Create the game plan. Then get back to work. Because if you want the growth, you have to be willing to play the entire game. Reflection Questions What problem are you currently blaming on the market, a client, another person, or your circumstances instead of identifying the root cause? What is the version of you six months from now going to think about the actions you are taking today? What part of your current game plan do you already know you need to execute more consistently? Notable Quotes "The capacity is being able to navigate through the storm as no results are coming. That is a skill set in itself." "The root cause is never really the cause. It is all the things that we did or did not do." "The problems that you once thought were against you were meant to build you."

Hearing these accounts from people he trusts has only sharpened his drive to seek answers.Together we dig into the questions that keep us awake at night: Is it even possible to uncover the full truth? We explore astral projection and remote viewing, and Martinho recounts a powerful personal story of black magic — and how pure faith ultimately proved to be the cure.Tune in for an honest, wide-ranging conversation that blends lived experience, the unexplained, and the search for meaning.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

This week, we're joined by romance author Lucy Wilson-Tagoe, who longtime readers may also know by her pen name Dylan Allen, to talk writing, reinvention, and her newest release, To Catch a Sinner.And because this is What the Smut, we obviously do not stay on one topic for very long. Andddddd we may have forgot to hit the record button...Lucy takes us behind the scenes of her writing process, from plotting complicated stories in spreadsheets to leaving just enough room for the feral chaos to take over. We also talk about the characters who completely hijacked her life, the tiny character details she obsesses over, and why apparently knowing exactly how someone laughs is essential information.Then we dive into To Catch a Sinner, the first book in Lucy's new romantic suspense duet. Mary also shares why she immediately thought this story needed to become a miniseries, while Cortney patiently waits for the audiobook (its out NOW) because we all know she is our resident audio girlie. If you love romance books, romantic suspense, indie romance authors, audiobook romance, friends-to-lovers, morally gray characters, bookish podcasts, author interviews, or behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, this episode is for you.Grab your favorite snacky snack, your beverage of choice, and come hang out while we talk books, writing, side quests, gummy bears, laundry services, and all the chaos in between.And as always, slide into our DMs and tell us what you're reading, watching, or what completely unhinged thought has been living rent-free in your head this week.Lucy's IGLucy's WebsiteLucy's Books..Apply to be a Guest on our showSign up for our Substack Newsletter..Support Our Show (May Include Affiliate Links)Amazon Product Links (Books, Shows, Products mentioned)Sponsorship or Ad Affiliate InquiriesWell Read Candle Company - WhatTheSmut10 saves you $$Audible Free TrialKindle Unlimited Free Trial..Where to Find UsWe are the most active on InstagramWhatTheSmutPodcastMarySend us a voice noteWell Read Candle Co10% Off WHATTHESMUT10 Support the show

Kat is back and she is flooded with your questions from the DMs. This week, we are talking about the pain of closing one chapter to open another, regret, and moving on.

A buyer asks, "Can you do any better on the price?" Most artists feel their stomach drop — like they just lost something. I don't accept that premise. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar It's my strongly held belief that more art gets sold at a discount than at full price — especially at higher price points, especially in person. Once you know that, everything changes. You can prepare for negotiation, and you can negotiate on your terms. Last episode we covered the maths of pricing your art for Q4. This one is what happens after the price is on the wall: the rules, the tradecraft, and why the buyer who negotiates is the best thing that ever happened to you. In this episode: The premise I refuse to accept: that entering a negotiation means you're the one losing How I learned to reject a premise — the story of why I haven't been offended in decades A car dealer, a real estate agent, and Thomas Crown — why negotiating an art sale is different from every negotiation you've seen The one metric (new customers acquired per year) and the long game: you're not playing a one-shot game, and that changes everything Sun Tzu was right — the battle is won before it starts Your three rules: know your floor, have a range of pricing, and never give something up without getting something in return Why negotiation is the greatest thing that's ever happened: it signals intent My Craigslist career — over a million dollars of cars, boats, and gear, and what the "$7,500 cash, I'll pick it up today" guy taught me The serious buyer drives over to look at the car — for an artist, that's the phone call or the Zoom Get out of the DMs: every step from message to email to call to in-person gets more real The asks list: what to trade for instead of dropping your price Q4 is coming — which means sales are coming, which means negotiations are coming This week's homework: write your asks list before Q4. Know your floor on every piece and be comfortable with it. And decide right now what you'll ask for the next time someone asks you to come down. Related episodes: How to Price Your Art for Q4 — the maths this episode builds on Advanced Pricing Strategies for Artists and Photographers — the pricing opus, including the original negotiation rule Discounting Your Art or Photography.

This has been a test year in my bee yards, to see if my old treatment-free methods that worked so well for 16 years in an isolated bee yard would hold up in areas with more beekeepers. Answer: Nope. [Deep sigh and regroup. ] I now feel so lucky to have learned a hybrid system that still allows me to work on my long term project of stock selection towards mite resistance–while also utilizing organic acids for mite clean up in colonies that don't make the cut, with a requeen afterwards with the better genetics. Back on track! Thank you to queen breeders Ryan Williamson, Ang Roell, Troy Hall , James Lee and YouTube legend Bob Binnie for helping me understand a system that allows for both.

I keep getting DMs from people who want to write books, play golf, speak on stages, or chase a passion they've been sitting on for years. The one thing holding them back is the same fear every time: what if I suck? In this episode, I break down why that fear is the most expensive limiting belief you can carry. Nobody starts as a legend, and comparing your beginning to someone else's finished product is a trap I refuse to let you stay in. Key Takeaways Fear of sucking at something new is one of the most common reasons people never discover what they truly love. Nobody starts as an automatic legend. Every expert has a learning curve, and that includes the greatest who ever lived. Comparing your starting point to someone else's finished product is a mindset that will stall your growth permanently. Giving yourself permission to be bad at something is not weakness. It is the first act of real courage. The true tragedy is not sucking at something new. It is spending your whole life wondering what would have happened if you had tried. Action Steps Identify one thing you have been putting off because you are afraid of being bad at it, and take one small step into it this week. When you catch yourself comparing your beginning to someone else's peak, redirect your focus to your own progress and effort. Start a new hobby or skill with the explicit goal of being bad at it first, and track your improvement over 30 days. Notable Quote You don't suck because you started it. What sucks is if you don't.

This week, UK-based coach, Ryan Horgan, joins the pod to talk about the best ways coaches can get young players to listen and integrate the lessons they are trying to teach through a process called Ecological Dynamics.Ryan started playing tennis around age 9 and always felt he was developmentally behind his peers.

He loved the game so decided to transition into coaching.An opportunity came up for Ryan to work on the island of Cyprus where he now works at an academy training upcoming juniors.

D23 2026 delivered a mountain of Disney Parks news—but how much of it is actually coming, and how much is still blue sky? On this episode of Magic Our Way, we break down the biggest reveals from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, including the return of Figment and Dreamfinder, changes coming to Spaceship Earth, the future of Disneyland's Tomorrowland, Villains Land, Tropical Americas, Piston Peak, Monstropolis, the Expedition Everest Yeti, and more. But rather than simply running through a list of announcements, we're asking a bigger question: When should a Disney announcement become a promise? To find out, we pull the receipts from D23 2022 and 2024. What did Disney announce? What actually got built? What changed along the way? And what can projects like Avengers: Infinity Defense and the long development of King Thanos teach us about Disney's five-, ten-, and even fifteen-year planning horizon? Was Horizons 2026 filled with blue-sky ideas, or did Disney give us a glimpse at projects sitting at very different stages of development? We discuss, debate, and decide which D23 2026 announcements we'd actually bet on becoming reality. What are your thoughts? Email us at show@magicourway.com, call or text  815-MOWICAN (669-4226), or slide into our social media DMs. Every thought and opinion will forever be welcome on this Disney fan podcast.

On this episode of TMFS, Marvin sits down with credit and funding expert Zach O'Hara to break down the real playbook behind unlocking business capital, from building genuine bank relationships before ever applying to the exact way an internal score with credit unions can get you funded with a lower profile. Zach opens up about losing $14,000 to a scam mentorship as a young father, hiring his own mom for his first cleaning business booking, and the six months of grinding cold DMs that finally cracked the funding game for him. They get tactical on personal credit foundations, vertical versus horizontal loan applications, balance transfer strategies to stretch 0% interest periods, and the exact blueprint for building a 5 to 10K a month funding company from scratch. It's a masterclass in patience, strategy, and understanding that in 2026, funding isn't harder to get, it just requires a real relationship and a real plan.

SlimFast is paranoid that he's fired, and Lazlo would be slightly… disappointed if his son started a drug ring in college.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the yes you keep saying no to?This week I sit down with Janesha Moore — the Philadelphia-based creator behind The Strategic Influencer, Move Moore, and the faith-based jewelry brand The Merciful Collective. Janesha was laid off from a corporate marketing role in 2023 and used that moment to build a multi-brand business that now reaches hundreds of thousands of women. But this conversation isn't about how she built the business. It's about who she's had to become to hold it — and what it actually feels like to be in what she calls a fighting season.We get into how one yes to skydiving turned into the New York City Marathon and eventually Move Moore, why she believes God gives you assignments no one else can confirm, the “productive distractions” framework she uses to protect her focus, what her DMs have taught her about being an affiliate creator in a world that looks down on them, and the mantra she leans on every day: "I'ma cry, but I'ma continue."

The Best Personal Trainer Client Acquisition Strategies for InstagramEpisode 441 | How Personal Trainers Get Your First 5 Clients on Instagram Without Going ViralYou have been told to post for 60 days, build know-like-and-trust, make a freebie, and then DM 20 to 50 strangers a day until someone books a call. That model builds you a second job, not a business. In this episode I break down the three client acquisition strategies my clients and I actually use to get paid every day, the Conversation Starter, the Low Ticket Lead System, and the Webinar Low Ticket Funnel. No spam DMs, no high-pressure sales calls, no pretending to be someone's best friend so they'll ask about your program. You'll also get the customer-versus-client distinction that changes how you build your list, why free lead magnets stopped converting, and the exact ROAS targets to hit before you scale ad spend.What You'll Discover:The difference between a customer and a client, and why building an email list of buyers beats a list of freebie downloadersWhy no funnel will save a vague offer, and how to define the leveraged components of your premium programHow the Conversation Starter turns your content into inbound DMs from the 3% of your audience who are already ready to buyWhy 100 buyers will out-produce 800 free leads, and how low ticket offers convert at 8 to 10% versus roughly 2%How to build a low ticket front-end offer that offsets your ad spend from day oneThe webinar low ticket funnel to run if lower customer volume or ad spend makes you nervousThe 90-day focus rule and the front-end and back-end ROAS numbers to hit before scalingTimestamps00:00 — Three client acquisition strategies without pushy sales or spam DMs00:44 — Who I am and why I teach this02:19 — Customer vs. client: the distinction that changes your whole list strategy03:11 — Why I build an email list of low ticket buyers03:57 — The traditional model: 60 days of value, a freebie, and 50 DMs a day05:13 — Why that model breaks coaches (12 to 18 hour days, unpaid)06:55 — Before any funnel: your premium offer has to be dialed in07:51 — The trap of turning your in-person job into an online job08:36 — Defining the leveraged components of your offer11:38 — Real offer structure examples: onboarding, async check-ins, phased reviews12:41 — Specific problem, specific outcome, specific person14:27 — Strategy 1: The Conversation Starter14:42 — Why we've been indoctrinated to think selling harms people15:38 — Free is never free: time, energy, effort16:27 — When people pay, they pay attention17:15 — Six to 14 touch points and seven hours of consumption17:51 — The free dog food analogy18:19 — Energy exchange and emotional investment20:27 — The 3% of your audience who are already buyers21:55 — Conversion content that produces DMs22:15 — The four buyer questions you have to answer23:16 — Gating your old PDF and why speed to connection matters24:14 — Using a customized enrollment call as your Conversation Starter25:16 — Moving DMs to a call, and revenue in three to 14 days26:45 — Combining organic with $2 to $5 test ads27:08 — Strategy 2: The Low Ticket Lead System28:00 — The 10-minute workout example and the ascension point28:47 — How low ticket buyers offset your ad spend immediately30:03 — Front-end offer ideas: recipes, mobility, low back pain stretches31:36 — 800 leads for a VSL vs. 100 buyers for the same 10 clients31:57 — 2% conversion vs. 8 to 10% conversion32:22 — Why posting 5 to 10 times a day burns you out33:11 — 14,000 views vs. 148 views on identical posts33:36 — Strategy 3: The Webinar Low Ticket Funnel34:20 — Putting a low ticket offer on your webinar thank you page34:53 — How to set up your traffic campaign and what to optimize for35:30 — Pick two funnels and run them for 90 days35:41 — Front-end 1-2 ROAS, back-end 4-8 ROAS, unlimited ad budget36:02 — Tracking the metrics that actually matter37:43 — Join me live for Simple ScalingResources MentionedSimple Scaling (free live training) — How I turn $9 into consistent 50K months: https://ptprofitformula.com/simplescalingPT Profit Formula — https://ptprofitformula.comThe Offer Lab — the section of my client portal where coaches position their premium offer and build their Conversation StarterThe Implementation Hub — where the offer components, delivery structure, and metrics tracking liveTelegram — used for async client check-ins in a one-to-many way: https://telegram.orgReady for the Next Step?If you want the full system, offer positioning, the three funnels, and the metrics tracking that ties them together, the PT Profit Accelerator is where we build it with you.

I've been pretending my ManyChat is set up for about two years now.Here's my actual system: someone comments the keyword, I see it, and then I manually DM them the next day like it's 2016. So when Angelica Pompy came on the show and dropped a plot twist about ManyChat in the first ninety seconds, I was already leaning in.Angelica generates about 65% of her revenue from Instagram. She's not anti-automation. She just knows exactly where it belongs and where it quietly costs you money. She sold a $3,400 VIP day in the DMs with no sales call, no funnel, no link. Just a video message and a few voice notes back and forth. And the story she tells about the event she wanted to attend but never bought a ticket for, because the host never followed up, is the most useful thing I've heard all month about why your launches underperform.We're all so busy automating the top of the funnel that we've automated away the part where someone actually decides to buy.What you'll learn:The exact moment ManyChat stops helping and starts costing you salesWhy a $3,400 offer can close faster in the DMs than through a full email sequenceThe follow-up gap that makes you think nobody's interested when they actually wereHow Angelica labels and tracks leads in Instagram, and why that system breaks after 30 daysHer three-post rotation and why she never sells in every postWhat "success" on social actually looks like when a viral post isn't the goalCHAPTERS02:30 The ManyChat plot twist03:38 When ManyChat actually earns its place04:13 The New York event she refused to automate06:05 A $3,400 VIP day closed in the DMs06:56 The follow-up that lost her sale09:24 Labelling leads before they disappear12:11 The video message that got an instant yes17:18 Where 65% of her revenue comes from20:41 Building a lead system the algorithm can't erase27:56 The three post rotation she teaches>MEET ANGELICA

Falcon has discovered there’s serious money in children’s entertainment and, naturally, his first thought is to exploit that into a new business venture. Freshly an uncle and horrified by how catchy kids’ songs are, he’s decided to go head-to-head with The Wiggles by creating his own baby song. Unfortunately, he’s created something deeply disturbing. Apologies to your ears in advance. The boys then get real about overseas romances, before hearing from a listener whose holiday love story went south. In the DMs: the boys give career advice they’re arguably unqualified to give, unpack an unhealthy relationship with golf, and attempt the impossible task of understanding teenage boys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hilarious content creator Lindsey Fishman joins the boys to discuss why Clavicular is UNATTRACTIVE, calling a bomb threat on a frat guy

Never buy a first year car, or a last. Anna's first car was publicly humiliated in a McDonalds parking lot. Also, let's ban cyber trucks and Teslas now.  Actress Hayden Panettiere passed away yesterday. Anna watched "Heroes" super pregnant with her first born, and said that's it! I'm naming my baby after the indestructible cheerleader. Now her daughter Hayden is 17 years old!  Rest In Peace!  Matthew McConaughey got pulled over in Mexico and used JLO as his bribe money. Anna just keeps cash on her because she doesn't know JLO.  What was the sport/game apparatus that caused the most damage in school? Everyone has a story! Someone is being sued over a game of dodgeball.  Producer Justin bought two different size shirts and neither fit. Anna didn't do much but work. To say it wasn't an eventful weekend is an understatement!  Raven hasn't been back to school shopping for a long time. $863 is the average for this time of year. Raven tries to guess the price of the back-to-school products! It's 2026 and buying a new cell phone is still a whole day ordeal! Producer Sophia does her rounds and talks to strangers at the bar for this weeks Happy Hour Happenings! Men move on quicker then women. Their wife can drop dead and they'll be sliding into another girls DMs. Source? These birds.  WEIGHT CHECK IN TIME! Raven has 3 pounds to lose 12 pounds. This is the first weigh in of week 2! Can he do it?  Frank and Gina adopted a puppy three months ago, and the shelter has reached out that two of their littermates were returned. The shelter says that they would probably be better all together, and they hinted that the puppies are having severe separation anxiety, it breaks Gina's heart. She is ready to do it. He thinks she is nuts; you don't go from never having a dog to three dogs in three months! She says their puppy is always sad, maybe this will make her happy.  He's concerned about cost and cleanliness. Should they adopt the two other puppies? Mary Ann has a chance to win $1,700! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!

Well, Tom is back in the Mommy Dome for the first time since the news, and longtime friend Ryan Sickler is in the chair with him. Tom addresses the divorce head-on: why he and Christina have been recording separately for months, getting the TMZ call, and why nobody "made" Christina go first. He also opens up about the state of his DMs, which include a kindergarten teacher looking to "help each other out" and Ryan's own mother, who, Ryan promises, means Tom can get dicked down in Delaware any time. Tom then opens the show with a dude declaring that anyone who doesn't drink their coffee black is gay, which sends Tom and Ryan into the world of men fighting the internet: a guy debunking AI edits of himself kissing dudes, Daddy Lalogon begging TikTok to stop calling him daddy, and Pastor Manning back at the pulpit with a fresh "get a job" sermon (plus the Suede remix) while the guys debate how many people are actually in that church. Tom also pitches Ryan on the next dads-and-kids trip: a family resort in the Philippines where the giant Hulk statue's fully detailed dick doubles as a pool fountain, and the owner cannot stop posting slow-tilt reveals of it. Tom develops a whole theory about the man's artistic vision and wants to send a YMH field team to get more details. They also spiral into junkyard Instagram where a guy solving car problems with half-sticks of dynamite and another launching full propane tanks out of a cannon. Plus some horrible or hilarious clips and a debate about Catholicism for the ages. Enjoy!
