Stop lying to yourself about how hard you're working. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the "squadron" delusion. You think you have a massive network until you're forced to put pen to paper. If it isn't written down, it doesn't exist. I'm showing you why your memory is your business's biggest bottleneck and how my "Rule of 10" will save you from the sting of rejection.What You Will Master: * The Reality Check: Why a physical prospecting list is the only way to face the facts of your business. * The Rule of 10: How to build a selling framework that survives inevitable "No's." * Low-Stakes Testing: Why your friends and family are the ultimate lab for your next big idea. * The Discipline Gap: Moving from "half-hazard" activity to tactical, daily outreach.I'm also opening doors for my January 2026, 10-day intensive training. This isn't a generic video course—it's tailor-made, tactical, and direct.Send me a WhatsApp message on 08064662140 for more details on the course.Don't miss out on future episodes—Subscribe to the podcast today!

This talk/meditation invites you to access inner wisdom through sleep and the liminal spaces between waking and sleeping. In many ancient traditions, monks, yogis, and shamans dreamed worlds into being. These dreamed realms, called Pure Lands, Buddha Fields, and Fields of Spirit, exist outside of ordinary time and can be visited in meditation and dreams. They are, in essence, the Kingdom of God within you. This practice invites you to set an intention to visit these realms in dreams, releasing any expectations, and preparing the mind and body for deep, restful sleep. The meditation guides you into state of deep coherence and surrender. Relax and enjoy.Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

And thus we come once again to a moment of pause in our madcap readings, as winter's chill settles over the land (in this bit of the world, anyway).

The usual episode data, some reflections on accomplishments from 2025, and fervent plans for Season Five(!) make up the core of our discussion, but as with all things of the Dreaming, you never quite know where the discussion will lead you...

Nick and Mark discuss that, and how the course will prepare for the big hitters, will the course be changed to accommodate them?Keith has written it to mention that Bill Dunk, who Dunk's Island at Royal Melbourne is named after, recently had a birthday and he felt Bill should be acknowledged. Nick and Mark agree and decide to reach out to Bill to get him on the show next year. Mark has a great story about Bill winning a small tournament and the speech he gave. Ryan went to The Australian Open at Royal Melbourne and was blown away by the course - but is torn, because he'd love to play it, or one of the other big sandbelt courses, and wants to know is there any way that a normal golfer can get on these courses?A comment on St Andrews Beach from someone who loves it and challenges Nick and Marks comments about it - presumably their comments about its Top 100 worthiness.

Dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable are not easy in the world we currently live in. Our society has built systems that erode the individual and collective spaces that hold these generative processes. This is a powerful time of year to begin to reclaim the space of pausing in the darkness to be with yourself, dream new possibilities, and lay the foundation for what you want to create in the world. In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share insights and tips on the power of dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable as we head into a new year. Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Embracing end of year energy (darknessThe importance of pausing and why it's hardUnderstanding intentions and creating accountabilityYou don't have to be perfect, just present Have thoughts or questions about this episode?

In this episode of Leading Yourself, I sit down with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro, DEI officer and author of Dreaming in Color, to explore what allyship looks like in real life—not in theory.Erin shares how her journey began with a simple virtual book club that evolved into deeper conversations about racism, empathy, and understanding after the murder of George Floyd. We talk about the power of curiosity, the courage it takes to connect across cultures, and how diversifying what we read, watch, and listen to can completely shift our perspective.You'll hear practical steps for becoming a more intentional ally, why examining your consumption habits matters, and how Erin's Instagram community, Let's Read Diversely, is helping people broaden their lens through literature.This is a conversation about listening differently, learning with humility, and choosing connection in a world that often feels divided.Grab a copy of Erin's book here: https://amzn.to/3YhJC1nConnect with Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreamingincolorthebook/

Artist and legendary street artist Robbie Conal talks about: His family history, including his two activist-and-politically inclined parents, his background in fighting the power; moving up to Los Osos (in San Luis Obispo County) as a permanent residence (back after the 2008 crash), but keeping a small place in L.A.; what he misses about not being in the city (he's lived in NYC and SF as well as L.A.); his first big moment with public art, through postering, which was born out of caricature paintings he was making of Ronald Reagan's cabinet, which he dubbed 'Men with No Lips,' and alighted through a large postering campaign just as Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, was opening to the public in 1986; how he's Shepard Fairey's OG, and how he was an influence on him as a future street artist (though Fairey said, "I can do that" quite confidently); his personal mantra:  "apply what you do best to what you care about most," which in his case his drawing and talking smack (does best) and American democracy (cares about most); how, to make his work quicker to keep his work temporal, he switched from oil painting to charcoal and then to acrylic with oil accents; how all his friends who have his art (mostly of terrible characters) have them in their toilets; and his most popular work, "Watching, Waiting and Dreaming," a triptych of Gandhi, the Dahli Lama and Martin Luther King. This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of the conversation, available to Patreon supporters, we talk about: How he's sustained himself financially over the decades outside of sales of his work, from teaching to receiving donations to his postering campaigns to lots of (young) volunteers; what he thinks about street art, and mural art, today, and the distinction between graffiti, street art and poster art, and how his reputation saved him from competing street artists when he was postering; our different respective takes on street art, and how Leon Trotsky taught him that everything is political, and street art is inherently political; what he's learned from terrible jobs: mainly, you can't make good art, let alone great art, in your spare time, while holding down a full-time job (and doing the work on the side); the most commonly asked questions he's received about postering (how many times have you been arrested?); how part of your mission as a poster is muscling up for the consequences; and what the best thing is to say to the judge when you're asked why you did it. And for the final 15 minutes of our talk, he covers the breadth of logistics related to putting up posters in public/on the street, which he refers to as 'acts of civil disobedience.'

Most conversations about relationships focus on how to fix things,how to communicate better, repair conflict, or understand each other more deeply.All of that is important…but if we stay only in the pastor only in the problems of the present,we miss one of the most beautiful parts of being in relationship:Dreaming together.This applies to every relationship — not just romantic ones.Your spouse, your parent, your best friend, your sibling, even a colleague you feel close to.Relationships aren't just about surviving or managing life together anymore.In our modern world, we don't relate because we need someone.We relate because we want to build something meaningful together.And when we never dream together, we slowly lose sight of the future we're trying to create.In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I introduce a new monthly segment I'm calling a RelationTIP, a small but powerful practice you can bring into your relationships right away.This month's RelationTIP is simple, heart-opening, and surprisingly connecting:Dream together -> through vision boarding.Not as a rigid “goal-setting exercise,”but as a playful, intuitive way to discover what your heart is cravingand what your loved one's heart is craving too.Sometimes, your dreams will surprise you.Sometimes, the act of dreaming together is the deeper gift —because it shifts your focus from “fixing the past”to “building something meaningful for the future.”And your relationship grows simply from that process.In this episode:01:14 — Why recording this podcast is the highlight of my week01:47 — What I mean by a “RelationTIP”02:38 — Today's RelationTIP: Dream together03:14 — Why we have relationships in the modern world05:00 — Vision boarding as a tool for connection08:39 — My recent experience with vision boarding (and what surprised me)12:37 — Allowing yourself to dream in all your relationshipsTry one change this week:Choose someone you love — your partner, your mom, your best friend — and spend 15 minutes vision boarding together.No overthinking.No analyzing.Just clip whatever speaks to you.Then look at what you each created.You might discover something new about each other…and about yourself.Your relationship will deepen simply because you dreamed together.

    I have a special treat for everyone with this new mix. It's a guest mix from friend of Low Light Mixes, Andy McNeill. Andy records as Maple Mountain Sunburst and has created two previous mixes for LLM and they are both excellent. You can find them here: http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-moon-full-of-stars-and-astral-cars-by.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2025/01/we-did-it-again-by-andy-mcneillmaple.html Andy has a new album out, under his own name, that is a little different from his other recordings. That new album is the inspiration for this new mix which is really something special. I'll let Andy tell you about it: "Mallets, gongs, tintinnabulations, things that go ping. Here we have a mix of percolating exotica to float away on for an hour. I've included three tracks from a recent collaboration with percussionist and fellow composer Bill Brennan. Our album Dreaming In Gamelan blends West Javanese gamelan traditions with contemporary ambient electronics. Recorded with traditional hand-forged bronze instruments, the tracks were then augmented and treated in the studio. Also joining us was the brilliant electric violinist and sonic explorer Hugh Marsh. The album was mixed for immersive Dolby Atmos by Ron Searles (Atmos version available on Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon)." https://lnk.to/dreamingingamelan https://brennanmcneill.bandcamp.com/album/dreaming-in-gamelan   Thanks to Andy for curating and mixing this great collection tracks.

We know you've been thinking about it. Dreaming about it. Talking to your spouse, friends, and family about it. Take our advice: don't do it…yet. Obviously, we're talking about the one thing every real estate investor is after: quitting your job. It's the goal of every rental property owner to have enough real estate cash flow to pay for your life, tell your boss it's over, and walk out the door, fading away into the sunset. But quitting your job for rentals could add years to your financial freedom timeline, limit your ability to scale your real estate portfolio, and force you back into the job market when things get tough. Today, we brought on someone who's proof that keeping your job makes you richer (quicker) in real estate. Paul Novak has worked full-time for 20 years. At record speed, he acquired eight rentals in just five years. And guess what? In five more years, he could be financially independent and retire early, IF he keeps his job and invests. The best part? Paul has unlocked secret, low-interest loans that W-2 workers have easy access to but rarely know about, helping him supercharge his rental portfolio.  If you really want to quit, do it. But if you actually want to get wealthy with real estate, listen to this episode.  In This Episode We Cover How Paul scaled to eight rental units while working a full-time schedule  The secret loan to fund your real estate deals that W-2 workers have easy access to  Why you'll retire much sooner if you keep your W-2 job vs. quitting  Should you work in the real estate industry if you don't like your job? The benefits of going full-time into real estate (only quit if these are worth it) And So Much More!

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today I'm joined by my friend and returning guest George Wiseman, who last appeared in Episode 141 sharing his extraordinary origin story. This time, we take a more advanced dive into hydrogen medicine—specifically the differences between molecular hydrogen (H₂) and Brown's Gas, a unique blend containing hydrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and an electron-rich plasma known as EEW (electronically expanded water).George breaks down how Brown's Gas delivers not only molecular hydrogen but also bioavailable electrons—fuel your body uses to stop oxidative cascades, rebuild tissue, and restore cellular communication. We talk about why H₂ alone doesn't always create a perceptible effect, why Brown's Gas often does, and how these modalities play distinct roles in the ecosystem of healing tools. He shares incredible user stories—from carpal tunnel relief in minutes to a young woman who beat metastasized cancer using Brown's Gas as part of an integrative healing plan.We also explore the new micro-bubbler attachment that infuses bathwater with micro- and nano-bubbles, dramatically increasing gas absorption and accelerating skin repair. Then George reveals the next frontier: a forthcoming AquaCure add-on that allows users to make their own deuterium-depleted water, a therapy shown to support mitochondrial function and metabolic repair.This conversation is equal parts science, innovation, and lived experience—another perspective-shifting journey with one of the most generous inventors in wellness tech. Episode Highlights [00:00] – Hydrogen research overview: inflammation, oxidative stress, and why H₂ is having a moment[02:22] – The AquaCure's unheard-of one-year money-back guarantee[03:38] – Welcoming George back + reflections on the “Beautifully Broken” ethos[05:26] – No device is a panacea: hydrogen as one tool in a larger healing ecosystem[07:53] – A remarkable cancer remission case and how Brown's Gas supported the process[09:16] – Why hydrogen helps nearly every condition studied (and why side effects are positive)[10:27] – What is Brown's Gas?

Building on Nick Saban's second enemy of greatness, this episode unpacks how lack of discipline quietly steals potential. We explore why small daily decisions matter more than big intentions—and how discipline becomes the bridge between who you are and who you're meant to be.You Got This, Ryan
