What if the moment you tell yourself “I'm fine” is the exact moment you should be paying closer attention?Rooted in the core values of hard work, family, and emotional restraint, Emma Collyer grew up with the unspoken rule to “just get on with things.” This principle followed her well into adulthood. Raised in the UK and now residing in Canada, she learned early how to be dependable, observant, and low maintenance. The kind of person organizations love. The kind of leader who listens deeply, carries a lot, and rarely asks for help. This early belief of not causing a fuss left Emma wrestling with the tension between being a good listener and risk fading into the background vs speaking up and voicing her ideas.Her tendency to overcommit reached its breaking point during a pivotal leadership assignment. Wanting to prove herself, Emma found herself saying yes to every task. Investigations. Operational work. Emotional labor that wasn't on any job description.Then one afternoon, she broke down in the middle of a busy city center, unable to maintain the “I'm fine” façade any longer. The emotional moment prompted honest conversations with supportive colleagues and forced her to reconsider the self-imposed pressures behind her relentless hustle.Reflecting on this turning point, Emma candidly admits that old habits sometimes resurface, but now she's equipped with greater self-awareness and boundaries that keep her from sliding back into overwhelm.A large part of Emma's work today centers on helping people master difficult conversations in the workplace – the ones most people avoid – the ones about capacity, trust, feedback, and what's really happening beneath the façade of professionalism. She emphasizes the importance of using frameworks that shift the focus from accusation to collaboration, encouraging leaders to approach issues as shared challenges rather than personal failings. She understands why people disappear in meetings. Why feedback feels threatening. Why managers stop hearing the truth the higher they climb.This episode is about recognizing the quiet patterns that lead smart, well-intentioned people to override themselves and learning how to interrupt them sooner. Let's shift conversations from transactional to human, from faking it to honesty.Hype Song:Emma's hype song is “Unstoppable - R3HAB Remix” by Sia, R3HABhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0F3v8p8ZnEGtZDxNcJ5Klq?si=6cHF8iauRkWszhx3gI_mQ&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A2fmxVDpboTzLaLAfj5ZaQWResources: Emma's website: aspireexecutivecoaching.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-collyer-aspire/Instagram: https://instagram.com/aspireexecutivecoaching/Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement.

In today's episode, we talk to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey about the latest developments in his city. Donald Trump and border czar Tom Homan have said they're winding down ICE's occupation, and Frey tells us there are some positive signs in this regard. But Frey also discusses how ICE violence has been directed from the very top, shares new details about the enormous and lasting damage it did to the city, and explains how the extraordinary solidarity between ordinary people there is enabling Minneapolis to emerge from this dark period unbroken and unbowed. “The people here are tough as hell,” Frey tells us, adding that the city feels “pride” at “what we are overcoming.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

What if everything you believe about money, love, worthiness, and safety was installed in you before you ever had a say in the matter? Josh Trent, host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast and identity transformation architect, sits down with Alec Zeck for one of the most raw and real conversations he's ever had. Josh opens up about hitting rock bottom in 2014... $80,000 in debt, freshly fired, putting his mom in a mental home, and stuffing everything he owned into a duffel bag. That moment became the launchpad for over a decade of deep inner work. Josh also gets honest about his journey through pornography addiction, his experiences with plant medicine (including a brutal Ayahuasca ceremony where he screamed in a room full of strangers), and why he believes emotional epigenetics means we're not just healing for ourselves but for seven generations forward and back. This conversation covers what it actually looks like to dismantle an identity built on pain, why safety is a paradox, and how the bridge between knowing and doing is the real final frontier of human growth.   In this episode, Josh Trent uncovers: (06:30) Breaking down the old identity: the tools and practices Josh used for transformation (19:02) Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation? (34:07) Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a step-by-step breathwork walkthrough (58:45) Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches (01:11:23) Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another (01:27:05) Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast (01:41:24) Emotional epigenetics and why we unconsciously pass patterns down through generations (01:53:58) The single most powerful practice: emotional inventory Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off ⁠Shop All Products⁠ Biohacking⁠⁠⁠ ⁠❤️ WAVwatch - Now 15% off with JOSH100⁠ ⁠

The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That's not hyperbole. What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves? We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface. But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears. In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we're doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:03 Christi and Josh introduce a NEW season5:40 The mental health of Gen Z9:57 Parenting and mental health16:20 The effects of the decisions we make as parents and addressing parental fears25:30 Spiritual laws that influence our parenting31:00 Running into our fears and the hope of being a parent today35:25 Conscious and unconscious choices we make as parents40:00 How fear-based narratives influence our parenting44:34 What is God's role in how you parent? Show Notes:Ladies, sign up here for Spring Tender & Fierce Cohort! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Interested in our Spring Love Your Marriage Cohort?

"If you choose to quit and run away, you're 100% guaranteed to not get the result that you came for." In this episode, Heather shares an honest conversation about emotional endurance, how it's not the "hustle-hard, push-through" version we've been sold, and why it's important to stay with yourself when things get uncomfortable, inconvenient, or uncertain. She unpacks why reinvention often stalls out when self-abandonment is mistaken for strength, how real lightness comes from honoring capacity rather than overriding it, and what it actually means to keep going without betraying yourself. If you've ever felt torn between wanting more and feeling the weight of resistance from yourself or those around you, this episode is an invitation to redefine endurance as knowing when to lean in and when to take a damn break. What to listen for: ✨ The real reason most people aren't doing the work to reinvent themselves ✨ Heather's love letter on not abandoning yourself and creating more lightness ✨ Navigating resistance from the people around you as you go for more "You won't feel lighter or freer by forcing yourself to push harder. It doesn't come from endurance alone; it comes when you stop betraying your capacity in the name of proving you can handle more." ✨ Teaching your family and the people around you how to lead themselves ✨ Sitting with the discomfort of doing the shit that you don't want to do ✨ Why leaning into discomfort is part of what guarantees success "Become the change you want to see in the world around what you have control over. It's really hard for people to understand that concept because they self-abandon all the time." ✨ Why you need to play with identifying as somebody who isn't avoidant ✨ What do you need to do in alignment with how you want to feel? ✨ You can't give to other people while self-abandoning "Emotional endurance is looking within, leaning in when you need to be more curious, leaning out when you need a fucking break. Just don't quit." ✨ The difference between performative action and real leadership ✨ Co-creating your life with the people in it and without abandoning yourself ✨ Why emotional endurance has nothing to do with how heavy you feel *** For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

This episode offers a radically compassionate and science-backed perspective on why pain persists - and how true healing begins by understanding the mind-body connection. In this powerful episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, hosts Marnie Dachis Marmet and Stephanie May Potter sit down with psychotherapist, author, and chronic pain expert Nicole Sachs to explore the neuroscience of pain, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional repression. Nicole shares her personal story of healing from debilitating spinal pain and explains why pain is not imagined, emotional, or "all in your head" - but rather a protective response from the brain. Through deep storytelling, real-life examples, and practical tools, this conversation introduces listeners to Nicole's signature practice, JournalSpeak, and offers a hopeful, empowering roadmap for anyone living with chronic pain, anxiety, or persistent health struggles. _______________________________________ What You'll Learn in This Episode: ● Why chronic pain is a protective response from the nervous system ● The difference between acute pain and chronic pain ● Why structural findings on MRIs don't always explain ongoing pain ● How the brain chooses where pain shows up in the body ● What the "emotional reservoir" is and how it overflows ● Why pain often moves locations when the root cause isn't addressed ● How stress, trauma, and perfectionism affect the nervous system ● How journalSpeak is a powerful tool for expressing and processing emotions. ● How meditation supports nervous system regulation ● Why curiosity, compassion, and patience are essential for healing _______________________________________ Noteworthy Quotes from the Episode: ● "Pain is a protective function of the human body." - Nicole Sachs ● "The pain is not emotional - it's the result of your nervous system responding to emotion." - Nicole Sachs ● "Your nervous system is on point. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do." - Nicole Sachs ● "Life is not a choice between what hurts and what doesn't. It's a choice between what hurts and what hurts worse." - Nicole Sachs ● "You are allowed to get curious." - Nicole Sachs ● "You have so much more power over your health than you realize." - Nicole Sachs _______________________________________ Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Nicole Sachs and her approach to mind-body healing 05:12 - Discovering Dr. John Sarno and mind-body medicine 08:57 - Emotional stress and physical symptoms explained 17:06 - Structural findings vs root causes of pain 24:59 - Why lack of pain doesn't equal emotional balance 31:20 - Injuries, genetics, and the symptom imperative 37:33 - First steps for people feeling stuck in pain 40:21 - Learning, surrender, and recovery mindset 46:58 - JournalSpeak explained 59:05 - Healing results and long-term freedom from pain 01:07:59 - How to work with Nicole and free resources 01:09:55 - What the art of living well means to Nicole _______________________________________ Our Favorite Wellness Support:

Emotional regulation is one of the most important relationship skills we were never taught. In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, Susie Pettit explains why emotional regulation is the skill that makes parenting and marriage easier and why learning to stay calm when the people you love are not can change every relationship in your life. If you tend to take responsibility for other people's emotions, rush to fix feelings, or feel unsettled when your kids, partner, or loved ones are upset, this episode is for you. Susie shares how emotional regulation builds emotional safety, why fixing feelings often backfires, and how developing emotional resiliency helps you show up as a calmer parent, partner, and human. You'll learn: ⭐️ What emotional regulation actually is and why it matters in parenting, marriage, and relationships with our empty nest young adults ⭐️ How to stop outsourcing your calm to the people around you ⭐️ Why feelings need support, not solutions ⭐️ A simple framework to respond to big emotions without fixing or shutting them down ⭐️ How emotional regulation supports emotional intelligence in kids, teens, and even our underfunctioning partners or young adults Whether you're parenting young children, teenagers, adult kids, or navigating a long-term relationship, this episode will help you understand why your internal calm is the foundation for healthier, more connected relationships. If you want parenting and marriage to feel less heavy and more grounded, emotional regulation is where it starts. Thanks for listening!

You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes self-awareness helps us grow… and sometimes it quietly gives us permission to stay exactly where we are.In this episode, we talk about the subtle ways insight can turn into self-justification—whether it's personality types, triggers, habits, or even love languages—and how awareness is meant to become a starting point for transformation, not a comfortable resting place. We share stories from our own marriage about conflict avoidance, travel differences, stress habits, and learning how to let understanding lead to maturity rather than excuses.If you've ever heard the phrase, “That's just how I am,” this conversation will help reframe awareness as an invitation to grow—one small, intentional step at a time.

In this re released episode, therapist Sarah Spears explains why restriction, trauma, and unprocessed emotions drive disordered eating, and how healing requires addressing the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and soul layers of health.

Tenderoni Hotline #20: Hello, my love, and welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline. Today, I'm joined by the luminous and deeply grounded Rose Zeeland, financial planner, death doula, and a radiant graduate of the Anchored program. In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Rose shares her journey from emotional flashbacks, perfectionism, and the chronic belief that she was “broken”… to a place of embodied healing, nervous system safety, and radical self-acceptance. We talk about what it means to move beyond just talking about healing and into the felt sense of coming home to yourself. Rose opens up about learning the language of her nervous system, redefining boundaries with love, and how she stopped outsourcing her worth to others and started honoring her full humanity, on her own terms. Together, we explore healing from internalized shame, the magic of being witnessed in community, and why this work isn't about fixing what's “wrong” with us but remembering what's always been whole within us. If you've ever felt like you were the only one who couldn't figure it out, the only one “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is for you. So get cozy, press play, and come be held by this beautiful story of reclamation, resilience, and return with Rose. Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

A year ago, I stopped. I stopped doing one of the things I loved the most. I stopped because I was overwhelmed. I stopped because I was chronically burnt out. I stopped because I started doubting my purpose. It felt like a wise and mature decision at the time. Maybe it was But what I slowly began to realize was that I stopped doing the thing that, when it came to my work, was one of the most life-giving. Now, it's back. But better. For ten years, I've loved talking about the PIES because it changed my life. I was depressed. Stuck. Anxious. Overworked. My marriage was in shambles. I had no friends. I felt lost. The PIES method allowed me to focus on becoming my best physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and focusing on what I could control. Me. And it changed my focus. It changed my energy. It changed me. And over the past year, as I've finished my PhD (freaking finally!) I've realized that the PIES is even more powerful than I originally thought. We're going to be talking about confidence, clarity, influence, and how what you do impacts the way you show up to those around you... ...and we're going to be doing it together with a new podcast, new title, and new content.Same PIES. Revamped. Reimagined. Redefined. Can't wait to go along this journey with you. Stay strong, Dr. Kimberly I'm Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes.

Luke opens the conversation by sharing how true transformation begins with self awareness and emotional responsibility. He talks about how many people want motivation but only when it arrives in a comfortable, soft package. Real growth, he explains, often comes from being challenged, disrupted, and shaken out of old patterns. A major theme in this episode is the reaction people have to Luke's strong language. He addresses the backlash he receives for swearing and explains that these reactions are rarely about the words themselves. From a psychological and self awareness perspective, being triggered by language is often connected to past experiences, childhood conditioning, strict parenting, or verbal abuse in relationships. The nervous system remembers tone, emotion, and intensity more than the actual message. Luke makes it clear that he is not the trauma of anyone listening. He is not the angry parent, not the toxic partner, not the person who once spoke down to them. He is a motivational speaker and coach whose intention is to inspire, challenge, and help people wake up to their potential. He invites listeners to pause when they feel triggered and to ask themselves what memory or belief is being touched inside them. The episode explores the power of authenticity. Luke shares that he refuses to water down his personality to fit into a box that makes everyone comfortable. Confidence grows when we stop pretending and start speaking from truth. He encourages people to stop giving their power away to external judgments and to listen for the intention behind the message instead of reacting to the surface. Another powerful point is about personal responsibility. Emotional maturity means understanding that no one can make you feel something without your inner world participating. If a word or tone creates anger, that emotion already existed inside, and the moment becomes an opportunity for healing rather than blame. Luke finishes the episode with a strong message of belief. He reminds listeners that everything he creates comes from a place of love and a desire to see people rise. The goal is not to offend, but to awaken courage, confidence, and self respect in those who are ready to hear it.

Emotional flooding is inevitable; it's part of relationship. It's not about shame, but connection—providing a platform upon which real repair can flourish. – Lisa Dion In this episode, Lisa explores emotional flooding from the therapist's perspective and why finding ourselves outside our window of tolerance is not a failure—but a natural part of relational work. Through a nervous-system-informed lens, Lisa reframes emotional flooding as meaningful information rather than something to avoid or fix. When approached with curiosity, attunement, and repair, these moments of rawness can deepen authenticity, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and create powerful opportunities for healing. This conversation invites therapists to release shame, embrace humanity, and see emotional flooding as an ally in the work—both in the playroom and within themselves.

In today's episode, I sat down with Matt Salis, behavioral health researcher, writer, and co-host of the Untoxicated Podcast. Matt brings a perspective we don't talk about enough: what happens in a relationship when alcohol leaves the picture, especially around emotional safety, masculinity, intimacy, and long-term connection. Unlike my story where Ryan and I quit drinking together, Matt's journey unfolded differently. His wife, Sherri, was not the partner struggling with alcohol. When he quit, he quickly realized that sobriety was only the beginning. Rebuilding trust, repairing emotional damage, and creating safety in his marriage required years of intentional work. And we go there in this conversation. In This Episode, We Discuss:

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams sits down with high-performing automotive leader and new Dealer Synergy team member, Alyssa Bragg, to break down what truly separates average salespeople from elite earners in today's dealership environment! "Emotional intelligence is the most important part of selling anything." This conversation goes beyond basic sales tactics. It dives into the role of emotional intelligence in automotive sales, why process discipline protects gross profit, and how top performers consistently win, even in competitive markets! Alyssa shares perspective from her journey through multiple roles inside the dealership, offering insights on leadership, mindset, and building long-term success in a results-driven industry. "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too." They also explore what it really takes to stand out in automotive retail in 2026 and beyond, from understanding customer psychology to maintaining control of the sales process while still building authentic relationships! If you're a car salesperson, BDC professional, manager, or dealer looking to increase income, improve leadership, and strengthen dealership performance, this episode will challenge the way you think about selling, and what it actually means to win in automotive. Tune in and discover why emotional intelligence might be the most overlooked competitive advantage in the car business!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and fulfilling customer needs are crucial for building long-lasting relationships and boosting sales. ✅ Adhering to Processes: Following structured sales processes not only sustains high gross profits but also enhances the customer experience. ✅ Mentorship and Leadership: Having strong mentors and assuming leadership roles can significantly accelerate personal and professional growth. ✅ Finance Management: Excelling in finance requires breaking down customer barriers and presenting value-driven products effectively. ✅ Diverse Background Impact: Various personal and professional experiences enrich one's approach to sales and management, empowering success in the field.   About Alyssa Bragg Alyssa Bragg is a seasoned professional in the automotive industry with over a decade of experience.

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Millionaire Insights: Rising in the Automotive Industry One Sale at a Time Key Takeaways Embrace Emotional Intelligence: Mastering the art of emotional intelligence can transform sales experiences and lead to higher success in the automotive industry. Build Wealth Through Process and Support: Following a structured sales process and seeking mentorship paves the way for personal and financial growth. Women in Leadership: Despite being male-dominated, the automotive industry offers significant growth opportunities for women, supported by resilience and mentorship. Unlocking the Power of Emotional Intelligence in Automotive Sales In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in setting top performers apart from the rest. As LA Williams stressed in the podcast, the ability to read customers, understand their needs, and empathize with their excitement or concerns can make all the difference. Alyssa Bragg exemplifies this concept, noting, "If you have a customer that's coming in and they're having their first baby and they're all excited for it, you better get your ass up and be excited too. Like you're part of the family." This ability to identify and manage both personal emotions and the emotions of others allows salespeople to create lasting relationships with clients. It not only improves the client's experience but often leads to higher customer satisfaction and retention. Bragg underscores the importance of active listening and connecting with customers on a personal level, which are integral to effective emotional intelligence. This is what transforms a typical sales transaction into a trusted relationship, ultimately increasing sales and boosting overall dealership performance. In broader terms, adopting emotional intelligence across a dealership can change the culture and enhance team performance. It fosters a supportive environment where team members can thrive, leveraging each other's strengths and learning from shared experiences. Process, Perseverance, and Wealth-Building Strategies Bragg's journey from a BDC representative to managing a broad spectrum of automotive roles showcases the transformative power of perseverance and process adherence. This consistent application of learned procedures is fundamental in the path from ordinary salesman to an industry leader. "Follow the process that you have in place…if there's a breakdown in that process, there's going to be a breakdown in your sale," Bragg explains. A crucial aspect of building wealth in the automotive world is understanding and executing a dealership's sales process meticulously. From the initial meet and greet to a comprehensive needs analysis, every step matters. LA Williams discussed the importance of discipline, reminding listeners that the dealership environment can expose flaws just as quickly as it rewards achievements. This points to the necessity of maintaining a disciplined approach to consistently achieve sales targets and personal financial goals. Moreover, seeking mentorship and guidance from more experienced colleagues can be crucial in overcoming industry challenges. As Bragg conveys, the affirmation and coaching from her peers propelled her to realize her full potential. This aspect of shared learning and communal support is integral in cultivating a culture of growth, highlighting the significant role it plays in both individual and team success within the automotive industry. Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Automotive Leadership Although the automotive industry remains predominantly male, there are profound opportunities for women who choose to navigate its challenges with resilience and ambition. Alyssa Bragg has successfully transcended traditional barriers, moving from sales into leadership roles. Her story serves as an inspiration and a testament to overcoming skepticism through determination and skill. Bragg shares her experiences frankly, recognizing both the challenges and the burgeoning opportunities: "The instinct is…that women don't know how to sell, women don't know how to run a business. But we do. We do. And we're so hungry and so eager to learn." This hunger translates into tenacity and resilience, qualities that allow women to persevere despite the skepticism they may encounter. Moreover, Bragg emphasizes the importance of perseverance and mentorship in overcoming these barriers. She encourages women in the field to "find yourself a mentor and just keep your head up and keep moving through," which highlights the critical role that strong professional networks and mentorship can play in navigating and overcoming industry challenges. By sharing experiences and seeking guidance, women can continue to climb the ranks within this dynamic field, shaping the future of automotive leadership. The lessons from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast offer a well-rounded view of what it takes to succeed in the automotive industry. Emotional intelligence stands out as a vital skill to nurture connections with clients and colleagues alike. Bragg's advocacy for a steadfast focus on process and her testimony to the financial possibilities available to dedicated individuals exemplify the pathway to wealth and growth. Meanwhile, her tenacity as a woman navigating the male-dominated industry underscores the transformational possibilities present in embracing mentorship and resilience. These stories and strategies offer not just insights, but actionable advice for anyone wishing to excel in this vibrant industry.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Entrepreneur Wellness: Supplements, Stress, and Emotional Vitality   "Modern medicine lies to us about that. It does say that we are symptoms to be managed, not people to be healed."    In Episode 480 of Richer Soul, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of Vitality Radio, for a grounded conversation about what it really takes to rebuild health and "the promise of vitality." Jared shares how he grew up in a family health food store (working there from age 7, managing it at 15, and buying it at 22), why trust in modern medicine has eroded, and why he believes the body must be treated as a connected system, not isolated parts. The episode also dives into Jared's "Vital 5" supplement framework, the risks he associates with long-term use of PPIs like Nexium/Prilosec, and the deeper mindset work he calls "emotional vitality," including the story of his wife Jen's long journey from decades of psych meds to being off them for about six years.    7 Soul-Level Insights from Jared St. Clair: Jared learned "money up close" through entrepreneurship. He describes the up-and-down nature of entrepreneurial income, "leaner years" and "better years", and how that shaped his mindset growing up.  He took on real responsibility early and built mastery through repetition. Jared started working at 7, was helping customers by 14, managed the store at 15, hired his first employee at 16, and bought the business at 22.  Before the internet, natural health meant books + tradition, not PubMed. Jared explains that there was no internet and very little clinical study of nutraceuticals, so he learned through foundational books and lived experience.  Trust in medicine has eroded, and healthcare has become political. Jared says trust is "eroded substantially" and describes polarization after COVID, where the same intervention is perceived differently depending on who promotes it.  Treating the body like separate "parts" creates blind spots. Jared critiques fragmented care (specialists not challenging each other) and emphasizes that systems (like heart and lungs) are inseparable.  Jen's Story shows what Jared calls Emotional Vitality (supplements + diet + mindset). Jared shares that Jen had anxiety/depression since 13, was on psych meds most of her life, and after a long, cautious weaning process has been off pharma meds ~6 years and no longer deals with anxiety/depression the same way.  Start simple: "The Vital 5." Jared recommends a baseline for many adults over ~35: omega‑3s, magnesium (he favors bisglycinate for most people), a high-quality multivitamin, probiotics, and digestive enzymes.    Why This Conversation Matters A lot of people are doing "all the right things" and still feel stuck, tired, anxious, inflamed, or dependent on symptom-management strategies that never resolve the root. Jared's message is a reminder that vitality is built on foundations: digestion, nutrition, and mindset, and that the body is a connected system, not a collection of separate departments.  It's also a practical wake-up call: quality matters. If your supplement supply chain is unreliable, you can't trust your results, and Jared explains why he's cautious about where products come from.    Money Learning Jared grew up in an entrepreneurial household and learned firsthand that financial life can be cyclical. He describes feeling like his family could "figure it out," even when money was tight—and later stepped into ownership responsibility young, buying the store at 22 and building a life around serving customers over decades.    Key Takeaway You're not just a set of symptoms to manage. Jared challenges the "managed forever" mindset and shares what he believes creates real change: better inputs, better foundations, and better internal programming.    Guest Bio: Jared St. Clair Jared St. Clair is the owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of the Vitality Radio podcast. He says he started working in his family's health food store at age 7, began managing it at 15, hired his first employee at 16, and bought the store at 22. At the time of recording, he says he's 53, has owned the store for 31 years, and has worked there for 45 years.    Links Website: https://vitalitynutrition.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyVitality/  https://www.facebook.com/vitalityradio/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalitynutritionbountiful/  https://www.instagram.com/vitalityradio/   Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vitality-radio-podcast-with-jared-st-clair/id1499760048   If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start with your health—start here: Build a base: try Jared's "Vital 5" framework as a starting point, then refine based on your body and needs.  Audit digestion + inputs: if you're relying on symptom suppression (like long-term reflux meds), revisit foundations and get support before changing anything.  Track your self-talk for 7 days: Jared's advice—notice how you describe yourself, because your brain treats it as truth.    #RicherSoul #LifeBeyondMoney #Vitality #Nutrition #Supplements #GutHealth #EmotionalVitality #Mindset   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

A snowy museum visit, a restless soundscape, and a conversation that kept outshining the art on the walls—this one is about the moment when performance feels undeniably real. We dig into why sincerity and trust matter so much, how a chosen audience can change the stakes, and what happens when the right people step into a room with the right intent. When you take your crowd seriously, they rise to the occasion, and the noise—footsteps, hums, clinks—turns into texture rather than distraction.From there, we unpack the power of teams and the long game of collaboration. Keeping a core crew over years compounds trust and taste, especially in small, fragile communities where one loss can feel like a corner of the room disappears. We ask the uncomfortable question: does time served equal value? Sometimes a decade of work underwhelms; sometimes a poem drafted at 5pm pierces straight through. The difference is judgment. Artists are editors and choice-makers, and the craft is in choosing what to keep, what to cut, and when to let the gesture speak without words.We also wade into AI, authorship, and authenticity. If a machine can make the frame, who supplies the meaning? The answer lives in the curating eye: selecting, sequencing, and framing with intent. Outsourcing isn't new—pop songs and comedy thrive on writers' rooms—so we explore how juggling, magic, and movement reframe authorship and improvisation. Delay the narrative, read the room, and collapse possibilities into a single, resonant outcome. Along the way, we talk myth-making and emotional truth: the stories artists tell themselves to aim higher, and the stories audiences need to feel the aura of the work.If you care about performance that invites rather than insists, about teams that build taste over time, and about the razor's edge between process and product, you'll find plenty to chew on here. Support the show...

In this episode, we ask: Has James Bond Lost His Identity?  For over 60 years, James Bond defined cinematic cool. He was fantasy.  He was spectacle.  He was escapism.  But today, Bond bleeds. He Bond grieves.  He changes.  So what happened?  In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, we decode Bond's identity crisis. We compare classic 007 with the modern era, examining tone, realism, and serialized storytelling.  We ask whether evolution became erosion.  From the gadget-loaded spectacle of Goldfinger to the raw reinvention of Casino Royale, Bond has transformed.   The Daniel Craig era reshaped the franchise.  Emotional arcs replaced standalone missions. Continuity replaced formula. And vulnerability replaced invincibility. Was this necessary growth or a loss of identity?  We explore:  Has realism made James Bond less fun?  Is modern Bond still truly 007?  Should Bond return to standalone missions?  Did serialized storytelling weaken replay value?  What must Amazon get right next?  With Amazon MGM Studios steering the future, the stakes are enormous.  Bond stands at a crossroads between fantasy and grit. Between myth and modernity. And between timeless and timely.  As promised in NO TIME TO DIE, James Bond will return. But which version will we meet? What will his identity be?  This episode dives deep into the debate dividing generations of fans. Is Bond aspirational fantasy or grounded realism?  The martini is still shaken.  The question is whether the identity still is.  Join the conversation. The future of 007 depends on it.  Tell us what you think: Has James Bond lost his identity?  What identity would you like the new James Bond to have?  Do you think he's lost his identity?  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!     You can check out all our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

Leadership often asks us to be steady, composed, and productive, even when real emotions are moving underneath. This is an UNFILTERED compilation, in which we bring together some of the most powerful, raw and unfiltered moments from our UNFILTERED series. Across these episodes my co-host Daphna Horowitz and I very intentionally work to slow down and speak honestly about emotional truth at work. Anger. Grief. Presence. These are emotions many of us were taught to hide, especially in professional spaces. Not because they are wrong, but because they can feel inconvenient or uncomfortable. We explore anger as information that points to values, boundaries, and care. We talk about grief as something that does not end when leave ends, and why silence can feel more painful than acknowledgment. We also look at presence, because allowing emotional truth requires the willingness to stay instead of rushing past what feels hard. This is not about fixing emotions or performing leadership the right way. It is about noticing what is real, naming it with care, and choosing intention over reflex. You do not need to have all the answers. You only need the courage to stay with what is true. Key Takeaways: 02:43 – Anger as Information – Greater understanding of how anger often signals passion, values, and boundaries rather than something to suppress or feel ashamed of. 09:12 – Gender, Anger, and Perceived Competence – Clearer understanding of how cultural double standards shape whose anger is accepted, whose is questioned, and how this impacts leadership expression and self-trust.

Most leadership breakdowns are not strategic. They are emotional. In this episode of Reflect Forward, Kerry Siggins explores why emotional skill is the true foundation of modern leadership. As AI accelerates and complexity increases, leaders who cannot regulate their nervous systems, understand their emotional impact, and create psychological safety will quietly erode trust. Emotional skill is not softness. It is leadership capacity. Kerry breaks down the seven pillars of emotional skill, inspired by Zoe Kors's Radical Intimacy, and explains how they directly influence executive presence, emotional intelligence, team performance, trust, and long-term organizational success. You'll learn: • Why leadership failures are often emotional, not strategic • What intimacy really means in a leadership context • How self-awareness and discernment reduce conflict • Why emotional regulation is nervous system leadership • How responsibility for impact builds trust • Why boundaries make empathy sustainable If you want to strengthen your emotional intelligence, build high-trust teams, and lead with depth, maturity, and influence, this conversation will challenge and broaden your thinking about leadership. The future of leadership belongs to those who develop emotional skill.

In this episode of Owning Your Legacy, host Laurette Rondenet sits down with Brittani Mack, host of Tech Me As I Am, for a powerful conversation on authentic leadership, personal branding, emotional intelligence, and staying grounded in the age of AI.Brittani shares the transformational moment that shifted her life after watching The Call to Courage by Brené Brown. What began as a wake-up call about vulnerability became a deep journey into self-love, identity work, and courageous authenticity. From navigating corporate leadership and corporate culture to building meaningful client relationships, Brittani explains how doing the inner work reshaped her leadership style, her parenting, and her purpose.This episode dives into how leaders can create psychologically safe workplace cultures, why personal branding is rooted in character rather than job titles, and how neurodivergence and ADHD can be leadership strengths rather than limitations. Brittani also speaks candidly about raising four boys, supporting men's mental health, navigating modern masculinity, and breaking generational trauma through emotional awareness, vulnerability, and intentional parenting. The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the workplace, why fear around emerging technology is natural, and how human connection, emotional intelligence, and core values remain irreplaceable in an increasingly digital world. Topics covered in this episode include:✅ Authentic leadership and vulnerability in the workplace✅ Personal branding beyond your job title✅ Emotional intelligence and psychological safety at work✅ AI, fear of technology, and staying grounded in a digital world✅ Neurodivergence, ADHD, and creativity as leadership strengths✅ Raising emotionally healthy boys and supporting men's mental health✅ Breaking generational patterns through inner child work✅ Building trust, connection, and influence in corporate environments✅ Human connection as a competitive advantage in the AI eraWhether you are a corporate executive, entrepreneur, sales leader, working professional, parent, or someone navigating identity and career growth, this conversation offers practical leadership insights and mindset strategies for owning who you are — unapologetically.

If life had a “breaking point starter pack,” I checked every box this week - smoke alarms, paying $100 to break into my own car, then a full existential meltdown in my garage. So obviously, the next logical step was to sit by a dam on the lake and cry with my inner child. Some weeks don't fall apart — they crack something open. In this episode, I share a real-time story of burnout, emotional overwhelm, inner child healing, intuition, surrender, and what happens when you stop performing and start listening to what your body and heart are actually trying to say. If you've been feeling anxious, drained, stuck in survival mode, or like you can't carry the same pain into another chapter… this one is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: • Burnout and emotional overload • People-pleasing vs authentic leadership • Nervous system exhaustion and release • Inner child needs vs survival patterns • Intuition and following subtle guidance • Letting go of old pain, roles, and stories • Faith, surrender, and trusting the unknown • Why not everything that feels broken is beyond repair Quick Updates Mentioned at the Top ✨ Best of Madison nominations (Podcast + F45 Madison West) ✨ Winter Free Week at F45 Madison West — Feb 23–28 (all classes free) If This Episode Resonated… Share it with someone who might need permission to put something down.

Episode Overview: In this powerful episode, John sits down with Jimmy Nelson to unpack a critical shift happening in real estate: AI is everywhere, but emotional intelligence is the true separator. From automation overload to shiny-object syndrome, agents are drowning in technology while skipping the internal work required to build something sustainable. Jimmy shares why inconsistency isn't a discipline problem — it's a regulation problem — and how agents must master self-awareness, identity, and emotional alignment before scaling with AI. This conversation dives deep into Human Plus thinking: emotional intelligence before automation, identity before scaling, and vision before decisions. If you want to future-proof your business in an AI-driven world, this episode is a must-listen. Key Topics Covered The Fork in the Road: AI Efficiency vs Human Connection The rise of AI and what it means for real estate professionals Why technology accelerates chaos if you haven't mastered discipline The "cold automation" model vs the Ritz-Carlton-level experience Why the future belongs to professionals who combine AI efficiency with human excellence The 75% Problem in Real Estate Two years in a row, 70%+ of agents didn't sell a home Why information is no longer the value — wisdom is The thinning of the herd and the leveling up of professionalism Why buyers and sellers now believe they know more than their agent Emotional Intelligence Before AI (Human Plus Framework) Timmy introduces the Human Plus model: Self-awareness before automation Emotional regulation before scale Identity before production Operators of AI — not AI operating you If you don't know who you want to be, AI will amplify confusion instead of clarity. The "Have, Do, Be" Trap Many agents operate backward: They chase the "have" (money, closings, recognition) Without becoming the person who consistently does the work The shift: Decide who you want to be Align your actions Then the results follow Why Most Agents Set the Wrong Goals When asked how much they want to make, most agents say "$100,000." But why that number? Why not $90K? Why not $200K? What is the purpose behind the number? The key is breaking big goals down into daily behavior: Conversations per day Appointments per week Agreements per month Math doesn't lie — but identity determines execution. Inconsistency Isn't a Discipline Problem Timmy's insight: "Inconsistency isn't a discipline problem. It's a regulation problem." Agents bounce between shiny objects because: They don't trust themselves They're emotionally misaligned They're chasing relief instead of results Technology reveals discipline. It doesn't create it. AI as a Mirror, Not a Crutch AI can be powerful — if used correctly. Practical exercise discussed: Ask AI to challenge your business model Have it ask you tough questions Use voice input for honest reflection Request direct, unfiltered feedback But remember: AI will gas you up if you don't bring discernment and critical thinking. The Work-Life Blend (Not Balance) Real estate creates guilt loops: When you're home, you feel like you should be working When you're working, you feel like you should be home The solution: Long-term vision Clarity of lifestyle goals Designing a sustainable model Finding What Lights You Up Within real estate, there are countless paths: Sales Marketing Social media Systems Development Coaching Community building The question becomes: What could you do for the rest of your life — even if you weren't paid for it? Then build the business around that.

Final Takeaway AI is not your competitive advantage. Emotional intelligence is. The agents who thrive in the next decade won't just automate — they'll: Master self-awareness Align identity with action Build clarity before scale Lead with vision, not reaction As John reinforced in the episode: Vision drives decision. Decision drives action. No vision, no deal. And as Jimmy summarized: Emotional Intelligence before AI.

120. Microdosing for Midlife: Hormones, Perception, and Libido (Week 3)Exploring how menopause, perception shifts, and nervous system regulation intersect with midlife libido.Episode SummaryThis episode continues Week 3 of Microdosing for Midlife, April Pride's 12-part audio companion to her Substack series exploring microdosing through the lens of midlife transition.In this conversation, April examines one of the most quietly asked questions among women in perimenopause and menopause: can microdosing influence hormones or libido? Rather than positioning psilocybin as a hormonal intervention, she reframes the inquiry around perception, serotonin signaling, emotional regulation, and nervous system safety.The episode explores how estrogen fluctuations affect mood stability, why cortisol and stress patterns shape desire, and how subtle perceptual shifts—rather than dramatic sensations—may influence connection and intimacy. Through personal reflection and grounded science, April centers integration over hype.

Send a textMany wives built emotional walls for good reasons—hurt, betrayal, disappointment, or exhaustion. But what once felt protective can quietly block intimacy, desire, and connection.In this episode, Chelsey gently exposes the difference between biblical guarding and hardened walls, and why God never intended protection to cost you tenderness.This episode will help you understand:How guarding turns into emotional walls over timeWhy walls block intimacy even when intentions are goodThe difference between wisdom and hardeningHow God softens the heart without removing discernmentWhy intimacy requires openness—not self-protectionIf your heart feels closed, distant, or numb—even while “doing everything right”—this episode will help you return to softness without fear.

Today's daily comedy show is what happens when you give microphones to people who should probably just be texting each other.We kick things off with Olympic-level… activities. Apparently the Olympic Village ran out of condoms in three days. Three. Days. That's not an athletic achievement — that's cardio with consequences. We debate whether elite athletes should be breeding super-humans or if maybe the rest of us deserve a shot at greatness. (Spoiler: the Rizzuto bloodline is not currently favored.)Then we spiral into Olympic sports confusion. Skeleton. Luge. Two-man luge (you know the one). If you grew up in Ballwin, Missouri, how exactly do you “get into” skeleton? Is there a sign-up sheet at Schnucks? Do you just lie face-first on a sled and hope for the best? We also relive the Team USA bobsled disaster that turned into a solo survival mission mid-run. Nothing says “team sport” like accidentally ejecting half your teammates.There's also a dog that hijacked a ski slope and honestly looked more qualified than most of us. If that's not peak sports content, what are we even doing here?We also unpack the “Most Gen X Man in the World” video, which is basically a documentary about Riz. Garden hose hydration. Distrust of WiFi. Emotional suppression via grunge. If you ever microwaved a dinner and raised yourself at an abandoned mall, congratulations — you've found your people on this daily comedy show.In Crap on Celebrities, we break down Tool possibly taking over The Sphere in Vegas (yes please), Weezer turning 34 (we're not okay), Hollywood's obsession with reboots, and the FBI updating the case involving Savannah Guthrie's mother. Plus, we rank the best fictional presidents in TV and movies — and yes, President Camacho was ROBBED.We wrap with birthdays, questionable romance stats, and one of the most aggressively titled adult films of 1995. Because that's the kind of well-rounded journalism you expect from a daily comedy show broadcasting from St. Louis.If you like pop culture commentary, funny celebrity gossip, Olympic chaos, sarcastic humor, and the occasional existential crisis wrapped in Mountain Dew nostalgia, welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance enters its third week, Savannah Guthrie released another video on social media trying to appeal to the humanity of the person who took her mom. Guthrie speaks directly to the kidnapper or anyone who has information about Nancy’s whereabouts to say “we believe in the essential goodness of every human being and it’s never too late.” This, as police say the gloves recovered near Guthrie’s home appear to match those worn by the suspect and contain DNA that is now being tested.

For nearly a decade, his work has centered on helping driven, burnt-out achievers unwind the emotional and belief patterns that run their lives.Identity under pressure reveals how much of who we are was shaped long before we had a choice, with unconscious beliefs tracing back far beyond our own lived experiences. Nervous system regulation, money stories, and lineage show up as an interconnected web that influences how daily life is experienced and navigated. Addiction and self-abandonment surface as signals of deeper disconnection. Responsibility for the inner world becomes less about fixing what's wrong and more about seeing what's beneath the surface.This episode speaks to anyone sensing that forward movement isn't about more tactics, but by understanding the forces shaping personal choices, accumulated stress, and the kind of freedom that feels earned rather than chased.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:30] Breaking down the old identity: the practices Josh used for transformation[19:02] Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation?[34:07] Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a breathwork walkthrough[58:45] Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches[01:11:23] Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another[01:27:05] Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast[01:41:24] Emotional epigenetics and unconsciously passing patterns down through generations[01:53:58] The single most powerful practice: emotional inventoryRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Health Freedom for Humanity with Josh Trent | Spotify or AppleResources Mentioned:The Great Unlearn with Cal Callahan | WebsiteFearful Memories Passed Down to Mouse Descendants by Callaway E. | ArticleSelf Liberation Blueprint + The Liberated Life Tribe Free Community:The Self Liberation Blueprint is a 10-day jumpstart and free tribe access that's perfect for the person who feels stuck, and they don't know why.

People don't ask me what my standards are, they test them. In this episode, I break down how these tests are usually subconscious and not even malicious, they're just human nature. The way I respond in those small moments teaches people exactly how to treat me going forward. My standards are not what I say or post, they are what I enforce in real time. If I don't hold the line, then I don't actually have standards. Show Notes: [01:34]#1 Tests start small, but they escalate quickly and quietly. [08:26]#2 Emotional reactions signal weak points.  [12:56]#3 Withdrawal is your final test and is your strongest one.   [18:22] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making. Details live here: http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com/Mastermind  This Masterclass is the public record of standards. Private enforcement happens elsewhere.
