Your Health Journey Shouldn't Feel Like a Dead End. After years of struggling with her own health, and finding little to no real answer, our founder, Alenka, made a life-changing decision: she would stop waiting and start searching. She dove deep into research. She explored countless treatments, therapies, and healing modalities. Some helped. Some didn't, at least not at the right time. But through that journey, she uncovered two powerful truths: 1. Finding the right help shouldn't depend on "who you know." Too many people are left stuck, overwhelmed, and without direction simply because they don't have access to the right connections. 2. The best healers aren't always the most visible. There are incredible, passionate holistic providers who truly care, but many didn't enter this field to master marketing, social media, or business systems. As a result, they remain hidden from the very people who need them most. And that's where everything changed. ✨ That's how SAHA was born. A bridge between people searching for answers and the experts who can help them find them. Using our custom matchmaking system, we connect you with trusted, aligned health professionals, so you can stop guessing and start healing. SAHA is built to: Meet you exactly where you are in your journey Support those who feel like they've "tried everything" Empower you to take control of your health with confidence Because the right support can change everything. And your healing journey deserves the right connection. https://sahacollective.com/

Ambition can either drive you toward God's purpose—or quietly pull your heart away from it. But the wrong kind of ambition can quietly pull your heart away from God. In a culture that constantly tells us to achieve more, build more, and prove more, it's easy to confuse calling with striving. The Bible doesn't condemn ambition—but it does warn us about the danger of selfish ambition. In this episode, Christine Caine explores the powerful difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition, revealing how our motivations shape our leadership, our relationships, and our spiritual health. If you've ever wrestled with questions like: • Am I pursuing purpose—or just proving myself? • Is my drive coming from calling or insecurity? • How do I lead and succeed without losing my soul? This message will help you realign your ambition with the heart of God. ✨ What you'll learn: • The biblical difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition • How insecurity can quietly fuel unhealthy striving • Why true success in God's Kingdom is measured by love, not achievement • How to pursue your calling while staying rooted in humility and identity in Christ

A Quick Notes to Listeners: Before this week’s episode, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: How do I manage parents (without losing my patience) who come to conversations with the assumption that educators cannot be trusted? Listen in to hear their response! Meet John Spencer: Dr. John Spencer is a former middle school teacher and current college professor who is passionate about seeing students reach their creative potential. He is the author of the bestselling books Launch, Empower, and Vintage Innovation, and The A.I. Roadmap. In 2013, he spoke at the White House, sharing a vision for how to empower students to be future-ready through deeper learning and creativity. In this episode of Principal Matters, Dr. Jen Schwanke and Dr. John Spencer engage in a fascinating, wide-ranging conversation that touches on nearly every critical aspect of modern education. While anchored in the core practices of effective teaching and leadership, their discussion also dives deep into a rich array of interconnected topics. They explore the nuances of AI in schools—from its impact on academic integrity and educational technology to its potential to unlock student agency and creativity. The conversation also weaves in the essential human elements of education, examining the roles of emotional intelligence, practical teacher training, and meaningful professional development. This episode is guaranteed to be entertaining and insightful, but more than anything, it will be inspiring. To begin, Dr. Spencer details his compelling professional journey, tracing his path from a dedicated middle school teacher to his current multifaceted roles as an educational consultant, keynote speaker, accomplished author, and university professor. Drawing from his extensive experience teaching and supporting preservice teachers, John discusses the critical skills that new educators must possess to be successful. He offers invaluable, practical insights specifically tailored for principals and school leaders who are responsible for mentoring and guiding these new members of the profession. From there, Jen and John dive deep into the prevalent misconceptions surrounding artificial intelligence in education. They specifically address the inherent risks and flawed logic that come with an over-emphasis on trying to “catch” students who might be “cheating” with AI tools. Instead of a punitive approach, John stresses the fundamental importance of fostering creativity and enhancing student agency. He persuasively argues that AI should be viewed as a powerful tool that can assist with, and even amplify, both of these critical educational goals. To that end, he emphasizes the urgent need for educators to proactively adapt to new and emerging technologies. However, he cautions that this adaptation must be balanced with a steadfast commitment to maintaining emotional intelligence and intentionally fostering genuine joy within the classroom environment. The wide-ranging conversation also touches on the broader challenges that modern educators face today, while concluding on a hopeful note about the profound promise of innovation in the teaching profession.

Support is one of those words that sounds simple until you really look at it.In this podcast episode, we explore what support actually means in real life. Not the ideal version. The lived version. The one where you step in because it feels easier, or because you care, or because you're used to being the responsible one.We share how helping can sometimes cross into over-functioning, how resentment can build quietly when support isn't asked for, and why stepping back can feel uncomfortable, especially if being needed has always been part of your identity.This conversation moves between leadership and family life, because the patterns often follow us from one space to another. And sometimes the most supportive thing we can do isn't to fix, but to listen, pause, and trust someone else's capacity to do it.As you listen, you might ask yourself:When do I step in too quickly?And what would change if I just paused?If this conversation resonates, consider following the podcast and sharing this episode with someone who carries a lot for others.Building Better Relationships at Home and Work is intended for reflection and personal growth.

What experiences or patterns in your leadership and coaching work prompted you to write Coaching for (a) Change? What problem were you seeing leaders struggle with most?From Manager to CoachYou talk about the need for leaders to shift from “manager” to “coach.” What does that shift really mean in day-to-day leadership—and why does the old command-and-control model fall short?Ultra Leadership vs. Traditional LeadershipYou distinguish between traditional leadership and what you call Ultra Leadership. How are they different, and what behaviors separate leaders who engage and empower people from those who unintentionally shut them down?The Power of Coaching (and the Misconceptions)Many leaders say they don't have time to coach—or that coaching is soft or optional. Why is coaching actually a critical leadership skill today, and what are the biggest misconceptions leaders have about it?The GR8 Coaching FrameworkLet's get practical. Walk us through the GR8 Coaching questions. How do these questions help leaders kick the “expert problem-solver” habit and activate ownership, accountability, and change?For leaders listening right now who want to start coaching for change—but don't know where to begin—what's one question they can ask this week that would immediately shift how their people show up?Thanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee — fueling creative conversations everywhere.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're trying to step into something new while holding onto old patterns, this message is for you. Jesus taught in Matthew 9 that new wine requires new wineskins — because you cannot carry what God is doing next with the structures that supported yesterday. And many of us feel stretched not because God is absent, but because He is inviting us to release what was in order to receive what is. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks why seasons of transition feel uncomfortable, why old systems eventually crack, and what it truly means to surrender familiar patterns so you can walk fully into God's purposes. If you're navigating: • A season of spiritual growth • Leadership in a shifting culture • Personal transition or life change • Faith when the old ways no longer work This biblical teaching will help you discern what God is doing — and give you the courage to let go of what cannot carry you forward. ✨ What you'll learn: • Why old structures cannot sustain a fresh move of God • The difference between chasing the “next” thing and discerning the “new” thing • How to build spiritual resilience in seasons of change • Why surrender is the key to stepping into the future God has prepared

Tim Nagy of Samsara talks about tech & AI: what workers really think; agility; retaining talent; & shifting from reactive to predictive road safety & logistics.    IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [02.41] An introduction to Tim, his role as a sales engineer, and a reminder of how Samsara helps their customers. "You get two different kinds of engineers: the kind who don't really want to be out in the field talking to customers, they do the coding and product development. And then you get my team, who love to be out there. We get to see a lot of different tech, and a lot of different businesses!" [04.34] The biggest conversations happening at Manifest 2026, are about the impact of AI across the industry. "There's a lot of talk about the impact of AI on supply chain and operations." [06.59] How Samsara can monitor real-time issues, from weather to driver behavior, to help businesses shift from reactive to predictive road safety and logistics. "Our job is to prevent accidents before they happen and AI, tech in general, is making that possible now. We're able to detect when a driver is becoming drowsy… and tell the driver to pull over." [09.56] Samsara's recent advert at the Super Bowl, and their first celebrity coaching avatar. [11.42] How Samsara see workers thinking about technology and AI, and a real-world example of driver feedback on Samsara solutions. [14.33] How technology and AI can help businesses attract and retain talent, and Samsara's success with the gamification of driver safety. "Driver churn is a big issue, it's hard to keep people employed and happy in a role that can be physically challenging and difficult… When you make their lives easier, it makes the world of difference." [17.41] The continuing problem of data siloes, how Samsara are helping bridge the gap, and why that's so important. "Companies have data in many different systems – even in physical operations, it's not uncommon for us to speak to people who have more than 10 systems just for transportation. And when data exists in different environments, it's almost impossible to make any correlations between it – even with AI." [22.01] Why unification is so important, and how siloes prevent the success of new technology projects. [23.31] The role of technology in supply chain agility. [25.56] From routing efficiency to idling reduction, how sustainable decisions can also be leveraged for cost savings. "A big part of environmental responsibility comes from using fuel efficiently, but right now it's surprising how many vehicles are still idling in supply chain fleets… If you take control of idling you can really drive down cost, and help the environment." [28.48] The big challenges and opportunities for Samsara customers and the industry over the next year.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Samsara's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Episode 11 of the "Lead with Empower" podcast, features Zachary Morello and Dan Jaskot from Empower Leadership discussing the challenge of efficiently and effectively splitting large groups into smaller working groups. This is a common challenge for teachers, corporate leaders, and others who run programs or activities. The speakers emphasize that the reason for splitting groups, especially with youth, is to help students get out of their social comfort zones, strengthen the community, and build skills necessary for the future when they will inevitably have to work with new people. This practice helps them to be more comfortable being uncomfortable, a skill needed for future transitions like college or the workforce. The methodology for splitting groups should also be situational; for activities involving sensitive discussion topics, it might be better to keep friends together with people they trust. However, in most other programs, especially with students who are already with their peer groups in school, the goal is often to separate the groups to encourage new skill development. Here are some tactics discussed for splitting groups: ● Verbal Numbering (One, Two, One, Two): The "old school" method of numbering off is deemed inefficient and often leads to confusion and restarts. ● Bring Them Together to Split Them Up: This tactic involves asking a group to pair up (or form small groups), allowing them to naturally choose their friends first, and then using a quick method to separate the groups. ● Elbow Connection: Partners stand with connected elbows, and a leader separates them by asking those with a free right hand to go one way, and those with a free left hand to go another. This process can be very fast. ● Closest/Furthest Birthday: Partners separate based on whose birthday is closest or furthest from the current date. ● Other Partner/Group Separation Methods: Other ways to split pairs or groups include using alphabetical order (first or last name), height, or the number of siblings. ● "Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert" Grouping: To split a group into four, people are asked to form groups of four (again, often by default with friends) and then designate one person as the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert person (based on personal eating habits); each category then forms a new, separate team. This adds a fun element and humanizes the leader. ● "Silent Lineup" by Birthday: The entire group is instructed to silently line up in order of their birthday, from January 1st to December 31st, communicating only nonverbally. The line can then be split in half to form two teams. This tactic keeps the group on their toes and allows the leader to gather "intel" on potential group dynamics or leaders. ● Dynamic Duo Name/Unique Handshake: For staff or corporate groups, pairs are asked to come up with a "dynamic duo" name or a unique handshake before being split into teams. ● Flipping the Script: Once the group expects to be split up after forming small groups, a leader can surprise them by announcing that they will work with their self-selected group (bring them together to keep them together). This prevents participants from deliberately partnering with people they dislike just to get separated. ● For older groups (college, professional, and sports), it is important for the leader to know their people and intentionally create teams with a mix of strengths, such as combining analytical, thoughtful individuals with those who are quick to take action. Giving adults a first activity with their self-selected or department-based teams can highlight inefficiencies, which the subsequent mixed groups can then correct.

The Lead with Empower Podcast is back! Join Empower Leadership's Assistant General Manager, Zack Morello, and President, Dan Jaskot, for a variety of topics all focused on empowering and inspiring 1 Million Individuals to become positive leaders in their communities. This "experiential essentials" podcast is created by team building practitioners for individuals and teams hoping to strengthen their culture, empower individuals to become leaders, and foster a greater sense of collaboration between team members. Episode 10 of the "Lead with Empower" podcast, features the hosts, Zachary and Dan from Empower Leadership, discussing the common challenge of gaining and maintaining attention from a group, titled, "Why won't they listen to me?". The speaker's note that this is a problem regardless of a leader's experience level, applying to professions such as teaching, coaching, and corporate leadership. Wasting time trying to get a group's attention can impact efficiency, especially in situations with limited time, such as at an event or during a sports practice. They explore different methodologies for gaining attention: ● Authoritative Demand: Historically, an old-school approach involved being louder and demanding respect simply by being the adult in front of the group, sometimes involving threats like a consequence if participants talked. However, this methodology may be becoming less effective. ● Simple, Spreading Action: An example is shared of a facilitator, Dr. Teddy France, who started snapping his fingers, leading others to follow, and eventually gaining the attention of a large group without saying a single word. This highlights the method of starting something simple and allowing it to flow into others. ● Focusing on the Positive: Instead of drawing attention to those not participating, the method involves focusing on and celebrating the few who are doing the right thing, which encourages others to follow. This is based on the idea that people want positive reinforcement. ● Involving the Outlier in the Solution: When dealing with individuals who are distracting the group, instead of punishing them (like yelling, getting mad, or removing them), the approach is to positively separate them by asking them to help. This involves them in the solution and leverages their strength of being comfortable being noticed. ● Building Rapport: Establishing rapport through small talk and getting to know individuals before starting can help you gain respect and attention from the group when you do begin. ● Clear Standards and Consistency: Regardless of the tool or tactic used, it needs to be clearly stated and shown, setting expectations for the group. Being consistent with the standard—such as waiting for compliance—is particularly important with youth. The most common tactic the speakers use is verbal-call-and-response: "If you can hear my voice, clap your hands one time". They set the standard that they aim for two claps or less, linking efficiency to having more time for "fun stuff". Other attention-getting tactics include: ● Nonverbal symbols, like a hand raise. ● Verbal call-and-response, such as one organization's staff saying, "Hey, Slade," and the students responding, "Hey, what?". ● In the corporate world, methods include assigning tasks during a meeting to keep everyone engaged and ensuring the content is concise and pertains directly to the group.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Lavar Thomas. Motivational speaker, author, Peace Corps alumnus, leadership coach, and founder of Empower for Greatness. Lavar’s mission is to help people transform “from the inside out” so they can live with greater intention and purpose. The conversation explores Lavar’s upbringing in Brownsville, Brooklyn; his life-changing Peace Corps service in Rwanda; his understanding of faith, purpose, failure, and leadership; and how he built international development programs such as Leaders of the Free World, which exposes young Black men to global travel and leadership experiences. He discusses how stepping outside his comfort zone—from traveling abroad for the first time to navigating Rwanda after only knowing it through “Hotel Rwanda”—opened his worldview, deepened his empathy, and developed his leadership style. Lavar explains how a major project failure in the Peace Corps forced him to redefine success beyond titles, money, or recognition. This experience ultimately inspired his book, The Other Side of Letting Go. He also shares how he balances a federal government job with building his speaking and training company. The interview concludes with a powerful discussion on purpose, reinvention, leadership, and the role travel plays in expanding one’s mindset—especially for communities that are historically underrepresented in global spaces. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Lavar’s transformative journey from Brooklyn to global leadership. Rushion showcases how Lavar’s experiences shaped his philosophy and mission. 2. To educate listeners about purpose‑driven living and leadership Lavar explains why purpose—not money—is the “real currency,” and how aligning with purpose drives impact. 3. To inspire people to step beyond their comfort zones The interview emphasizes how discomfort and uncertainty can spark growth. 4. To reveal the value of international exposure for Black men Through Leaders of the Free World, Lavar advocates for global experiences that shift identity and opportunity. 5. To discuss resilience, reinvention, and personal development From project failures to the death of his father, Lavar shows how adversity can reshape purpose and leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Faith requires action Lavar describes faith as taking steps without knowing the outcome—“believing in the future before it becomes reality.” 2. Growth happens outside the comfort zone Comfort zones feel safe, but they also create limits; stepping beyond them leads to self‑awareness and transformation. 3. The Peace Corps experience was life‑changing Rwanda taught him service, humility, language, cultural understanding, and the power of community trust. 4. Failure can be an important redirection When his library project collapsed, Lavar learned to detach from ego and redefine success through impact, not image. 5. Purpose is the real currency Operating in purpose helps you add value, understand your worth, and ultimately generate income more meaningfully. 6. Leadership includes being willing to pivot He shifted from a failed library project to impactful malnutrition programs, partnering with USAID to train families. 7. Personal setbacks can sharpen identity and mission His father’s death led him to pause graduate school, attend therapy, and rebuild himself—learning leadership through vulnerability. 8. Global exposure changes lives Leaders of the Free World gives young Black men access to international travel, allowing them to reimagine their potential. NOTABLE QUOTES On faith “Faith is taking steps without even knowing the outcome… believing in the future I see in my mind before I see it in reality.” On stepping outside comfort zones “Every time I step beyond that line, I grew… I realized new possibilities for myself.” On failure “Failure is life redirecting you.” (Recalling Oprah’s teaching). On purpose “Purpose is the real currency.” On redefining success “I had to learn how to redefine success for myself—not in the glamor of a project, but the impact I was having.” On reinvention after loss “I had to step away and rebuild LaVar… focusing on my family taught me so much about leadership.” On travel and identity “Something shifts in them when they return. They see their lives differently and their community differently.” #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Considering Leaving: A survey of 18- to 60-year-old Americans found that about one in eight married men (roughly 12-13%) have thought about leaving their spouse in the past year.• Emotional Disengagement: Evidence suggests 77% of men have engaged in some form of emotional affair (which can be a symptom or cause of being checked out).• Generational Differences: Research shows that 29% of younger men (ages 18 to 34) view having a successful marriage as "one of the most important things" in their life, compared to 39% of women in the same age group. According to the Pew Research Center, the Institute of Family Studies, and Psychology Today. My name is Eric MacDougall. I've walked the tricky path from the "Roommate Stalemate" with my wife to rediscovering the spark through vibrant communication and deep intimacy. After over two decades with my wife and raising two fantastic kids, I've tackled the challenges of lost passion and emotional disconnection firsthand. As the founder and lead coach at EMCS Inc., I empower growth-minded individuals and couples to build thriving, connected relationships. My approach combines practical tools and personal growth strategies tailored to the desires and needs expressed by my clients. After overcoming my own disconnection cycle, I am now driven to help intentional family men win at marriage the same way they win at business and ensure that the best years of their relationships are ahead of them. As a Master Relationship Coach, I focus on empowering men like you to become healthy, masculine leaders in your marriage. Stop approaching conversations in a way that pushes your partner further away. Instead, choose the courage to step into your power and revive the spark in your Relationship by learning new skills to lead your marriage in communication and intimacy. If you are struggling with a lack of passion, feeling distant, or just missing the fun, flirtatious marriage you once had, know it doesn't need to continue this way.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2.

Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
