Today's devotion in prayer is centered on this topic that everything in your life is going to be okay. How can I say that confidently? Because the Word of God declares this in second Corinthians chapter one, verse ten. We've been discussing how to get through trials, how to overcome trials and suffering. And in our first lesson, we went over that God permit trials and suffering in your life. That simply means that God allowed these things to happen. Now why would God allow them to happen? The Bible says so that you can comfort others. God will comfort you in the midst of trials so that you may know how to comfort others. And in our last episode, we talked about that God not only permit trials to happen in your life, but he also empowers us to bear trials. God will bring us to the end of ourselves so that we can bear trials..............

As athletes, we all know what pre-race anxiety feels like. The difference between elite athletes and those still finding their stride isn't that they don't experience nervousness—they feel it just as much as we do. But they've learned to frame it differently. Coach Steve Magness says it best: "Elite athletes don't feel less anxiety before competition. They feel the same tight chest, sweaty palms, racing heart, and butterflies that the rest of us do. The difference? They've trained themselves to interpret those sensations differently." This shift—from seeing nervousness as a threat to seeing it as a challenge—is where the magic happens. Research shows that high performers don't experience less stress—they just frame it better. Rather than trying to eliminate that anxious feeling, they embrace it, knowing it's a sign that they're ready to rise. Nerves aren't the enemy. In fact, they're your body's way of saying, “You care. Something meaningful is about to happen.” So, instead of running from it, lean into it. Understand that those nerves are helping you prepare, keeping you sharp, and sharpening your focus. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of strength. We can often think that nervousness means something is wrong or that we're not prepared enough. But the reality is, it means you do care. It means your mind and body are ready for the challenge ahead. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves, it's to work with them. See them as fuel, not fear. Feel them, acknowledge them, and let them guide you forward. When you feel those pre-race jitters, remind yourself: You're about to do something meaningful. Action item: Next time those race-day nerves hit, don't push them away. Instead, breathe into them. Let them be the signal that you're ready for the challenge. Harness that energy to fuel your focus, and remember, those butterflies are pushing you toward greatness. Ready to learn how to channel that energy?  Clear the Mechanism and Rise Above Nervousness before a race can feel overwhelming. But how do you take that energy and channel it into focus instead of letting it distract you? The answer lies in a simple but powerful mindset technique from For the Love of the Game, where Kevin Costner's character, a seasoned pitcher, uses the phrase “Clear the mechanism.” This technique isn't just for baseball—it's something every triathlete can use. When the nerves start to flood your mind, and you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by the noise, distractions, and pressure, the key is to clear the mechanism. When you clear the mechanism, you're intentionally blocking out everything that isn't directly related to the task at hand. It's like hitting the reset button, shifting your focus from the fear and doubt to the one thing you can control: your next move. Whether it's your swim stroke, your pedal cadence, or your run stride, you zoom in on that one thing and let everything else fade away. Coach Steve Magness reminds us that nerves aren't the enemy—they're a sign that you care, that your body is getting ready. But we can use those nerves to fuel us, not flood us. And just like the pitcher who needs to block out the crowd, the score, and the noise, as a triathlete, you can clear out the mental clutter and focus on what's in front of you. Here's how to apply it: When the nerves hit, take a deep breath, and clear the mechanism. Shut down the distractions, the what-ifs, and the self-doubt. Focus on your next step—the one thing you can control right now. Maybe it's your breath, your form, or the rhythm of your movement. Acknowledge the nerves, then let them guide you forward, not pull you under. By clearing your mental space, you give yourself permission to focus on the task, to be fully present, and to perform at your best. It's not about eliminating the nerves; it's about making them work for you instead of against you.     Action item: Before your next race or workout, practice clearing the mechanism. When you feel overwhelmed, mentally shut out everything except for the next task at hand. Clear the mechanism, focus on your breath, and take control of the moment. You've trained for this. Let the nerves fuel your focus and guide you to greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Strength Recovery Week Training - Strength Strength training is a crucial yet often overlooked component of triathlon preparation. Exercises like reverse lunges, single-leg deadlifts, and quadruped band kickbacks help build unilateral strength and stability, which are essential for efficient running and injury prevention. Core-focused movements such as plank reaches, V-ups, and half-kneeling rotations enhance balance, posture, and power transfer across all three disciplines. Functional exercises like burpees and cross-pull lawnmowers improve overall athleticism, coordination, and cardiovascular resilience. Together, these movements not only boost muscular endurance and joint integrity but also help triathletes maintain form under fatigue, reduce injury risk, and ultimately perform more consistently across swim, bike, and run segments.   Rotate 1-3x through the following exercises doing 10-20 repetitions or 30 to 60 sec efforts of each.   Reverse Lunge Single Leg Deadlifts Half-Kneeling Rotation Plank Reaches Cross Pulls Lawnmower Burpees V Ups One leg Quadruped Band Kickbacks     Fun Segment: Trail Fail or Win!   It's time for Trail Fail or Trail Win! — the game where we throw out some wild off-road triathlon scenarios, and Rich and I decide: was this a total disaster… or a sneaky success in disguise? Some of these could be race-ending nightmares—or just epic stories waiting to happen. Let's find out!   Scenario 1: The Wild Animal Detour Mid-race, a deer darts across the trail and you crash while trying to avoid it. You roll into the bushes, get back on your feet, and still finish 3rd in your age group—leaves and twigs in your helmet included.   Scenario 2: The Wrong-Turn Bonus Miles You miss a poorly marked turn on the trail run, add nearly 1.5 miles to your race, and come in well over your expected time. But… you didn't quit and still finished smiling.     Scenario 3: The Creek Shoe Sacrifice You nail the bike leg and enter the run feeling great… until you sink into a muddy creek crossing and one of your shoes stays behind. You finish the run with one barefoot foot.     Scenario 4: Transition Tent Tantrum Your gear bag somehow ends up in someone else's spot. You panic, yell a few expletives, throw your hands up—and then remember your gear is on the other side of the rack. You recover… barely.     Scenario 5: The Mid-Race Snack Catastrophe You reach for your trail mix on the bike—your new homemade “clean fuel”—and spill it all over your top tube. The rest of the ride, you're being followed by bees. You still PR the course! So whether you're dodging wildlife, losing shoes in creeks, or baiting bees with your snacks, remember—off-road triathlon isn't just a race. It's an adventure. Keep sending us your crazy scenarios, or better yet—live them. And we'll see you next time on Trail Fail or Win!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

---------------------- SHOW NOTES ----------------------  Episode Number: 395 Episode Title: Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works   Here's what nobody wants to admit about goal setting - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. While the "gurus" are screaming at you to set bigger, bolder goals, some of the most successful people I know have thrown traditional goal-setting out the window completely. In this episode, we're diving into both sides of this heated debate so you can finally figure out what actually works for YOUR personality and situation.   Podcast Highlights: [01:07] The truth about why most people's goals fail [01:55] Benefits of goal setting [03:54] Sarah's simple savings strategy that actually worked (and why) [04:23] Goal setting setbacks nobody talks about - stress, tunnel vision, and ethical shortcuts [05:18] Why goals might be killing your natural motivation and joy [07:08] Pascale's take on goal setting [07:32] How to know whether goal setting is right for you or not.

The Truth About What Works   This episode tackles the controversial question that divides productivity experts everywhere: Are goals essential for success or holding you back? We explore the compelling arguments for goal-setting (direction, motivation, performance) and the surprising case against them (stress, tunnel vision, reduced enjoyment). Most importantly, you'll discover how to determine which approach aligns with your unique personality and life season. Table of Contents Arguments For Goal Setting Arguments Against Goal Setting  The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Finding Your Natural Rhythm Conclusion Arguments For Goal Setting Here's where goal-setting shines - and why millions swear by it. Goals give you crystal-clear direction when everything else feels chaotic. They help you prioritize what matters instead of spinning your wheels on busy work that gets you nowhere. Plus, there's real research backing this up - people who set specific, challenging goals consistently outperform those who just "wing it." Take Sarah's vacation savings example: she wanted that family trip abroad but had zero funds. By setting a monthly savings target, she could track progress, adjust when needed, and make her dream happen through small, consistent actions. Arguments Against Goal Setting But here's the flip side that'll make you think twice. Goals can become stress monsters that eat away your self-esteem when you don't hit those targets. Worse yet, they can push you toward unethical shortcuts or risky behaviour to check that box. Ever notice how something you used to love doing becomes a total chore once you turn it into a goal? That's your intrinsic motivation getting crushed. And here's the kicker - focusing too hard on end results makes you miss the daily habits and systems that drive success. Plus, tunnel vision from rigid goals can blind you to incredible opportunities right in front of your face. The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Look, I love the clarity that comes from setting goals. But here's where most people get stuck - they set goals with good intentions and hope for the best. Without supportive systems like task management tools, accountability partners, or rock-solid daily habits, you're setting yourself up to drift and lose momentum. One mentor perfectly said, "You need a compass - because without it, any road will get you to your destination." But your compass doesn't need to be a traditional goal. It could be a vision, a feeling, a core value, or a natural rhythm that guides your decisions. Finding Your Natural Rhythm Whether you set goals or not depends entirely on your personality, life experience, and what season you're in right now. Some people flourish with structure and clear targets. Others bloom when they have the freedom to flow and adapt. The key is honouring what aligns with who you are, not what some expert says you "should" do. Ask yourself this week: "What do I need more of right now - clarity and structure, or freedom through flow?" Whatever answer comes up, trust it. You know what you need better than anyone else.   Conclusion The goal-setting debate isn't about finding the "right" answer but finding YOUR answer. Whether you thrive on structured objectives or prefer intuitive flow, the most important thing is choosing an approach that energizes rather than drains you. Remember, the journey toward what you want is often just as transformative as getting there. Trust your instincts, honour your natural rhythms, and permit yourself to succeed in whatever feels most authentic.   ………………………...

Justin Burns is a digital entrepreneur, sales expert, and founder of Maestro, a platform empowering creators to monetize digital products, courses, and memberships. After transitioning from a sales career to online business in 2008, Justin has sold digital products to over 30,000 customers worldwide. He helps entrepreneurs create “digital real estate” by building scalable, location-independent businesses that generate income through education and online communities.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Justin's success was built on sales mastery, perseverance, and seizing digital opportunities before they were mainstream. Digital products offer an opportunity to create income through memberships, courses, and online summits without geographical limits. Most people delay launching products while waiting for perfection — pre-launch validation is the key. Success comes from solving real problems, not from chasing money or hype. Meditation, affirmations, and mindset reprogramming play a crucial role in his long-term growth.     Topics From Sales Hustler to Digital Entrepreneur Justin started in sales at Best Buy, discovered his skillset, and later became the top salesperson at a major cell phone company. Fired from his job unexpectedly — but that opened the door to his digital business journey. A chance meeting led him to the world of digital products in 2008, before online courses became mainstream. The Power of Digital Real Estate In 2008, Justin learned people were selling digital products globally, even as most people were unaware of this growing market. Attended one of his first webinars and saw $30,000 made in an hour, which shifted his entire paradigm. Realized that failure and setbacks created momentum that allowed him to thrive in the digital space. Launching Products by Pre-Selling Teaches entrepreneurs to launch products before creating them—using simple landing pages, ads, and early buyers to validate ideas. Encourages creators to focus on the buyer's “DNA pattern”—if a few strangers buy, thousands more likely will too. Uses online summits with guest speakers as a powerful lead generation strategy for memberships and coaching programs. Shifting Mindset Through Reprogramming Early limiting beliefs around money and success were replaced with custom affirmations and daily repetition. Recorded himself reading affirmations and replayed them daily during walks to rewire his subconscious. Attributes much of his success to inner work combined with digital skill-building. Maestro and Helping Others Build Digital Empires Through Maestro, Justin helps creators build courses, memberships, and recurring revenue streams. Simplifies the tech barriers many creators face while empowering them to monetize their expertise or curate others'.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? Angela Williams Gorrell joins Mark Labberton to discuss her latest book, Braving Difficult Decisions. With poignant storytelling and theological depth, Gorrell shares how this book was born out of personal crucibles and a yearning to make sense of liminal, paralyzing spaces we all encounter—individually and communally. Together they explore how discernment is not just about decision-making but also about cultivating a life of wisdom, attentiveness, and spiritual depth. Rooted in Christian tradition yet capacious across communities and contexts, Gorrell invites listeners to slow down, ask deeper questions, and consider the spiritual, emotional, and communal terrain that shapes every meaningful decision. Episode Highlights “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “This journey is about an inward journey that says, how do I look at the state of my own soul?” “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good.” “What if the best idea isn't the good idea? And what if the data can't tell us that?” “Lady Wisdom invites us to dine—to sit at a table with God and others, and not rush the meal.” Helpful Links and Resources Braving Difficult Decisions, by Angela Williams Gorrell The Gravity of Joy, by Angela Williams Gorrell Life Worth Living course at Yale www.angelagorrell.com @angelagorrell on Instagram Show Notes The “liminal space” of facing a difficult decision, arriving at a crossroads Defining discernment as “a practice, not a single moment of choice” The book stems from her decision to leave a tenured-track faculty position, and a painful personal choice about marriage Perpetua and Felicity—early Christian martyrs Individual discernment and soul work Life Worth Living at Yale “Can I be suffering and my life still be good?” The deeply heartbreaking experience of grappling with the question of divorce “I really struggled to find a book that was like, you can be deeply Christian, deeply spiritual, and make this very difficult choice.” “You have to put them in your own heart and soul. You have to grapple with these ideas, and then you write them.” Should we avoid difficult decisions? Discerning, then acting “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “I wanted to write a book that spoke to that liminal space where we feel paralyzed.” “Good decisions don't always feel good—they might still break your heart” Discusses difference between chronic pain and acute pain in decision-making Discernment helps identify not just what is “right,” but what leads toward peace Michaela O'Donnell and chronic pain Discernment is about “looking at the state of your own soul and becoming a steward of it” “This story that God is nurturing in the world—that story doesn't hinge on like this decision in your life.” Self-examination, and feeling alone in the decision Community-based decision-making “There are all these false binaries.” “What baggage do you have from the past? And how do you make sure that you're not seeing the present moment through the past?” Being as gracious as possible “ What is a way that we can create space to really hear from God?—to hear from each other, and to move forward in a way that we're doing change together and not to each other.” “They need to figure out something together that matters deeply.” The book offers a pathway for congregations and organizations discerning together “How do we do change with people?” Encourages communities to take time, name past wounds, and define who makes decisions Identifies the importance of setting clear expectations, timelines, and spiritual framing “Listening to everyone takes time, but it leads to deeper collective ownership.” Invites communities to ask: What values do we want to embody in this moment? “Sometimes the most valuable part of the process is the slowness.” Wisdom, complexity, and culture Decision-making in our polarized society must account for nuance, empathy, and complexity “What if the data tells us one thing, but the Spirit tells us something else?” Resist “data-driven” decisions as totalizing; discernment includes emotion, history, and spirituality. “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good, you know? Sometimes a life worth living is not about pursuing happiness.” “Lady Wisdom invites us to come and to dine at her house and to sit at a table together.” Names systemic fatigue: “Organizations optimize while their people starve.” Decision-making is affected by race, gender, trauma, context—“there is no one-size-fits-all path” Discernment as a practice, not a moment Braving Difficult Decisions includes exercises and frameworks, such as the “iceberg model” “Most big questions are like an iceberg. There's all this ice beneath the surface that you don't see. That's really the stuff that people are grappling with.” Encourages ongoing wisdom practices: surrender, self-reflection, value-alignment The book is not just a guide for one hard moment, but a long-term companion Ideal for pastors, therapists, educators, spiritual directors, and leaders About Angela Williams Gorrell Rev.

Ricardo reminds us that generosity is one of our defining characteristics as Christians.  Giving is an act of service and a barometer of the health of our faith. To illuminate his point, Ricardo appeals to many stories in the Bible from manna falling off the sky in Exodus to the generosity of the widow offering her last two coins.  Enjoy this week's sermon. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 9:10-13: God provides resources to increase generosity, meeting needs and glorifying Him  Luke 16:10: Be faithful with little to be faithful with much  Luke 21:1-4: The widow's offering shows faith in God's provision, even when giving everything. Matthew 14 & 15: The feeding miracles demonstrate God's super-abundance. 1 Timothy 6:17-19: The rich should trust God, be rich in good works, and be generous. Matthew 5:40-42: Encourages extreme generosity. 1 John 3:16-19: Love is shown through action, specifically generosity. Exodus 3:21-22, 11:2, 12:35-36: God's abundance transformed the enslaved Israelites into wealthy people. Exodus 25:1-8: The Israelites, recently freed slaves, had the means to provide wealth, a direct result of God's provision. Exodus 36:3-7: The Israelites gave more than enough for the Tabernacle, demonstrating their overflowing generosity after experiencing God's abundance. 1 Chronicles 29:10-18: David's prayer acknowledges that everything comes from God, reinforcing that generosity is giving back what was first given.

Initial Thoughts and Observations Gratitude for the opportunity to preach. Acknowledges the challenges of preaching, but emphasizes that "the good times carries us through the hard times and the bad times." Humorous observation about Duke being "short in training" to become a song leader. Compares Duke to his father. Jokes about Duke finding a lady in a few years. Encourages joy and laughter in faith, contrasting it with the somber demeanor sometimes seen in Christians. "So many times, the Christians look like they're going to a funeral all the time. They ain't got a smile on their face. They ain't happy in their heart." Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:24-30 (Parable of the Tares) The parable describes a field where an enemy sows tares (weeds) among the wheat. Servants ask if they should remove the tares, but the master says no, to avoid uprooting the wheat as well. The tares and wheat are allowed to grow together until the harvest, when the tares are gathered and burned, and the wheat is gathered into the barn. Prayer Asks for guidance and direction in preaching. Prays for those with sin in their hearts or who have backslidden to return to God. Additional Thoughts and Encouragement Excitement about sharing thoughts received from God. Emphasis on focusing on God and tuning into Him. "Hey, I'm pretty excited. There's a Lord of you out there listening to me out of tune. I'm what you need, brother. We need to focus on me." Stresses the importance of loving one's neighbor and brother. Acknowledges personal experience with backsliding and growing cold with God. Explanation of Tares (Darnel Grass) Darnel grass imitates wheat but produces no seed and has no value. The message is that God wants you. God's Purpose in Difficult Situations Even in jobs we dislike, God has us there as a witness. The remedy is not to pull them up. Understanding the Difference Between Wheat and Tares Farmers who sow seeds regularly can distinguish between wheat and tares. The Bible will preach to the world. During harvest, tares will be gathered. God's Knowledge and Judgment God sees your heart, knows your sin, guilt, and shame. "You got everybody fooled but you ain't never gonna fool God who sees your heart he knows your sin he knows your guilt and he knows your shame." Explanation of Matthew 13:36-43 Jesus explains the parable of the tares to His disciples. The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. Pranks and Iniquity Recalls playing pranks in the past, such as egging car windows and toilet papering houses. Stopped when they realized it could lead to jail time. In Jesus' time, enemies would sow tares in a person's field as a prank. Those who do iniquity will be cast into a furnace of fire. The righteous will shine forth as the sun. Living a Life That Reflects God How you live your life shows every day. If you cuss around the boys, God knows your heart. God knows everything good and bad and is searching your heart. "He's got you under magnifying glass and He's searching your heart." The Parable of the Tares in the Wind God has us in this world for His glory. It's all about Him and the tares. Transformation Through God Wheat and tares will remain what they are when they grow up. God can change a tare into wheat at any point, even near death. "God, but God, but God, He can change a tare anywhere from His birth until it's almost dead, into a wheat. Only God, only God can do that."

June is ushering in a powerful energetic portal, accelerating and magnifying time in ways that challenge our typical perception. This month invites you to go within and ask: "What is the energy teaching me right now?" With Saturn in Aries until the fall, we're in a crucial "dress rehearsal" for a new phase of personal identity, courage, sovereignty, self-expression, and our will to live. If you feel a spark but are unsure how to act, slow down. Stillness is where the answers lie. As the Summer Solstice approaches, harness the vibrant energy of the sun to cleanse, clear, and illuminate your inner world. Consider the liberating prayer: "God, relieve me of the bondage of self." This "bondage of self" is where fear and outdated patterns keep us small and limited. The 6 and 9 energy in June is potent, subtle, and can be manipulative if not approached consciously. It’s potent because it connects you to your deepest, soulful truth—the insights you share with no one else. This combination highlights themes of wisdom and service. Prioritize being of service to yourself so you can truly serve others. The 6 and 9 is an intuitive starting point for attuning to higher energetic frequencies, requiring deep listening and discernment through experience and awareness. Throughout June, pay close attention to your energetic frequency. Pay attention to how spaces and people impact your energy. Notice what weighs you down and actively detoxify it so you can live more freely, happily, and easily. Key Dates in June: June 6th: Venus Enters Taurus – Amplifies connection to the material world and sensual pleasures. A wonderful time to engage all your senses and embrace pleasurable experiences. June 8th: Mercury Enters Cancer – Fosters emotional intelligence and intuitive presence. Cultivate stillness to allow intuition to guide you. June 9th: Jupiter in Cancer – Offers expansive opportunities for intuitive development and self-care. Re-evaluate your self-care needs now and bravely honor them. June 11th: Full Moon in Sagittarius (3:44 AM ET) – Expands our sense of self, soul, faith, and personal meaning. Celebrate joy and release outdated beliefs that limit your perspective. June 17th: Mars Enters Virgo – Focuses on daily routines and wellness. An ideal time to start a new health routine or organize your surroundings, with an emphasis on quality. June 20th: Summer Solstice / Sun Enters Cancer – An energetic gateway to set intentions aligned with intuition, wisdom, femininity, and creativity. Honor this new season with a personal ritual. June 25th: New Moon in Cancer (6:31 AM ET) – Signals a powerful emergence and rebirth on a soul level, deeply connected to hearth, home, and family. Ask your soul what truly feeds and nurtures you. June 26th: Mercury Enters Leo – Encourages connection, joy, laughter, and playfulness. A resurgence of your inner child and a demonstration of your evolved meaning and destiny.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the pros and cons of evergreen vs. live launched courses for online business owners. She shares her personal experience, industry benchmarks, and tips for choosing the best strategy for your course business—along with ideas for hybrid approaches that blend the best of both worlds. Key Topics Covered: What is Evergreen vs. Live Launch? Evergreen programs are always available and rely on automated marketing, with the goal of creating consistent, scalable revenue. Live launches are time-bound events with open/close cart periods, featuring high-energy events like webinars or challenges that drive urgency. Pros & Cons of Live Launches Pros: Electric, high-energy atmosphere that boosts conversion. Easier to create urgency (FOMO) and momentum. Great for building community and getting real-time feedback. Higher conversion rates (e.g., 30% for webinars). Ideal for validating new offers. Cons: Time-consuming and emotionally intense. Peaks and valleys in revenue can make forecasting critical. Risk of burnout if launching too often. Requires constant creativity to keep launches fresh. Pros & Cons of Evergreen Pros: Potential for more freedom and consistent, scalable income. Better suited for those who prefer steady, predictable workflows. Excellent for content marketing, SEO, and paid ads. Great once offers are validated and funnels are optimized. Cons: Lower urgency and typically lower conversion rates (often 3–5%). Heavier upfront tech setup and ongoing optimization required. Can feel less connected to your audience without live interaction. Trickier to know exactly where conversions are stalling. Tips & Recommendations Start with live launches to validate offers and really get to know your audience. Move into evergreen after getting a proven program and well-optimized funnel. Consider a hybrid approach: run evergreen all year but add 1–2 live launches or live webinars annually to infuse energy and boost conversions. Know yourself: If you thrive on energy and creativity, live launching may suit you. If you want more consistent, mathematical growth, evergreen could be your path. Tina's Experience & Advice Tina personally prefers a combination—live launches for excitement, validation, and community; evergreen for ongoing sales and freedom. She highlights the importance of revenue forecasting, creative launches, and making sure your system fits your personality and business goals. Encourages early-stage entrepreneurs to embrace frequent live launches for faster growth and refinement. Common Mistakes to Avoid Relying purely on “build it and they will come” for evergreens—marketing is still 80% of the work. Going evergreen before your offer is validated with real students. You don't have to choose just one strategy—curate the combination of live launches and evergreen funnels that aligns with your goals, capacity, and personality for sustainable course business growth.   Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder   Resources Mentioned: Platforms for automating evergreen funnels (Deadline Funnel) Advertising channels: Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube

Athena Brownson is a former professional skier turned top-performing real estate agent, investor, and developer based in Denver, Colorado. After a career-ending battle with Lyme disease, she reinvented herself through real estate—combining her background in interior design and her passion for people into a thriving business. Athena is known for helping clients build long-term financial wellness through homeownership and strategic real estate investing, and she's especially focused on education, resilience, and relationship-driven service.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Athena began investing by house-hacking her primary residences, using a “live in it, then rent it” model to build her portfolio. She transitioned from interior design to real estate after recognizing her entrepreneurial spirit and desire for scalable impact. Investors must plan for CapEx reserves, property management, and insurance complications—especially in regulated markets like Denver. Building the right team is critical; your broker should be your connector to vetted contractors, lenders, and legal resources. Resilience—built through adversity and chronic illness—is the core of Athena's mindset and professional approach.     Topics From Ski Slopes to Showings Grew up in Breckenridge and became a pro skier by 15, competing for over a decade. Following multiple injuries and health challenges, transitioned to interior design, then real estate. Initially skeptical of real estate, she found mentorship and reframed her perception of agents through relationship-driven models. How She Built Her Real Estate Portfolio Started by purchasing homes, living in them, and turning them into rentals after two years. Leveraged Denver's strong appreciation to build long-term wealth without chasing high cash flow. Encourages clients to follow a similar path using primary residences as investment stepping stones. Investor vs. Homeowner Mentality Homeowners often buy emotionally; investors must approach with a long-term, data-driven mindset. Good investor agents should provide data on appreciation, vacancy, rental income, and CapEx projections. Understanding local laws, tenant rights, and insurance challenges is crucial for profitable investing. Why the Right Team Matters Your agent should introduce you to reliable property managers, lenders, contractors, and insurance brokers. Denver is a highly regulated market—landlord-tenant law varies even by neighborhood. Without the right team, investors risk costly missteps, code violations, and legal exposure. Resilience Through Adversity Diagnosed with Lyme disease, Athena rebuilt her career by focusing on real estate as her purpose and outlet. Her story highlights how clarity of mission and community service can create fulfillment and long-term success.
