    There's a difference between understanding a concept and embodying the truth that is encoded in that concept.Knowledge will only get you so far— that's why life long learners are often left behind by less educated action takers. What if you could weave knowledge into revenue generating implementation? What if you could move with the purpose, intention and undeniable value that produces millions?This is the exact kind of waterfall that I lead my clients to create. As they step into the waters of clarity, their crown chakra is fully immersed in white light energy that flows down through their energetic field and pools all around them into the bliss of the overflow. My clients learn to serve from this limitless resource, calling in the income and the impact that they were born to have and to hold in the empires they are building.You have already changed. You have come so far. You have built so much, learned so much, and desire so much… but without embodying truth, you will forever remain an outsider looking in, watching the beauty of the waterfall rather than becoming it.When you learn to deepen your connection to your higher self as you shed the layers of who you used to be, you can activate beyond your previous limitation. You will shed the old skin of self sabotage patterns and claim the new light of self sovereignty as you bask in the sun drenched waters of wealth and abundance. You have more capacity than you currently know… this limitless energetic field is waiting for you to rewire and rewrite your story as you transmute old trauma patterns into transformational energy that moves the masses.This is more than mentorship— it is the mirror of your future self. Once you can see who you are meant to become, your deep desire to activate what is already yours becomes the fuel for your embodiment. Together, we will birth your empire into existence.Six figure months that become cash injection six figure days faster than you ever imagined possible as we rewire your subconscious energetic alignment before applying active mindset techniques and creative development strategies.This is the power unleashed inside of UMBRELLA. We make it rain, not because we are rainmakers, but rather because we embody the self defining fact that we are the MF Storm.

    In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, Samuel sits down with Jennifer Jones, a former top Purdue Pharma rep who lived through the rise, collapse, and aftermath of one of the most controversial chapters in pharmaceutical history. Jennifer opens up about her early passion for pain management, what reps were taught, how Q12 vs Q8 dosing shaped patient experiences, and the moment Purdue shut down while she was on vacation. She shares the emotional toll of grand jury testimony, FBI investigations, and watching once-trusted leaders face prison time, while also revealing the patients and physicians who were genuinely trying to do the right thing. From navigating "pill mill" stereotypes to seeing pain doctors wrongly targeted, Jennifer gives a raw, inside look at the complexities reps faced long before the media headlines. Now a thriving medical device rep in cardiology, she talks about rebuilding her career, stepping into entrepreneurship, and rediscovering her purpose in healthcare. This is one of the most honest conversations ever recorded about pharma, pain management, and what it means to survive, grow, and lead in medical sales.   Connect with Jennifer Jones: LinkedIn Connect with Me: LinkedIn Love the show?

Chrissie reflects on her early career – from leaving school at 16 and studying couture to her time at Condé Nast – and how those experiences led her to identify a gap in the market for beautiful, high-quality basics at accessible prices. She discusses the ‘quiet luxury' design principles, attention to detail and calming, timeless aesthetic that continue to define the brand today, as well as its remarkable growth to include more than 80 stores and 2,500 employees. With Christmas approaching, Chrissie also shares how she decorates at home – from greenery and wreaths to tablescaping, playlists, cocktails and clever hosting tricks – and why thoughtful gifting (and a 15-year spreadsheet) remain her secret weapons. The conversation also touches on balancing a demanding career with family life, welcoming her daughter into the business, staying curious and ambitious in her 50s and the charitable work she champions through The King's Trust and the Change A Girl's Life campaign.Subscribe For More | http://bit.ly/2VmqduQ Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signup The White Company | https://tinyurl.com/57k375pu Hosted on Acast.

Links https://www.racetoinnovation.net/ Race to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode, Roy discusses the intersection of innovation and church leadership, emphasizing how Latter-day Saints can embrace creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to build the kingdom of God. He outlines five principles of innovation that can empower individuals and leaders within the church. Key Insights Innovation in the Church: Innovation is rooted in the ongoing restoration of the gospel, with historical examples from church leaders like Joseph Smith and President Nelson demonstrating the importance of adapting and evolving. Recognizing Potential: Leaders should actively recognize and nurture the divine potential in all members, encouraging creativity and new ideas rather than dismissing them due to comfort with the status quo. Power of Enclaves: Supportive groups or enclaves foster innovation by providing emotional and practical support, enabling individuals to take risks and share their ideas without fear of failure. Enabling Ownership: Leaders should empower members to take ownership of their ideas, allowing them to lead initiatives rather than relying solely on institutional approval. Unique Perspectives: Embracing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of members can lead to innovative solutions that enrich the church community. Accelerating Change: Leaders should focus on how to accelerate innovative ideas, ensuring that they are not just reactive but proactive in creating positive change within their congregations. Leadership Applications Encouraging Initiative: Leaders can create an environment where members feel safe to propose new ideas, such as starting a community service project or a new class, by actively listening and providing support. Building Support Networks: Forming small groups or committees within the ward can help individuals collaborate on innovative projects, leveraging their unique skills and experiences to enhance church activities. Fostering a Culture of Innovation: By promoting a mindset of continuous improvement and openness to new ideas, leaders can inspire members to contribute creatively to the church's mission, ultimately strengthening the community and its outreach efforts. 00:03:34 - Framing Innovation in Church Leadership 00:05:25 - Innovation in the Context of the Restoration 00:07:51 - Challenges of Innovation in Large Organizations 00:09:36 - Autonomy in Local Church Leadership 00:11:25 - Encouraging Local Innovation 00:12:39 - The Role of Individual Members in Innovation 00:14:31 - Importance of Innovation in Church Leadership 00:16:06 - Proactive vs. Reactive Innovation 00:18:07 - Individual Innovation and Community Impact

    Some seasons of marriage stretch you in ways you never saw coming — especially when you're doing the inner work and your partner says he wants to… but his actions don't quite match your pace. I've walked that road. I know what it feels like to carry the emotional weight of the relationship, to want growth so badly you could almost shake it into happening, and to wonder if things will ever shift.This conversation pulls back the curtain on what was actually happening inside me during those years — and how, even recently, the chaos of our renovation brought an old pattern to the surface. You'll hear why resisting life (and resisting your partner's timing) creates suffering, what changed instantly when I stopped trying to manage his healing, and the quiet kind of feminine leadership that invites a man forward instead of pushing him away.If you've been longing for more connection, more emotional honesty, or simply more ease in your marriage, this one will feel like a deep exhale.Come join me — and if this speaks to you, make sure you're subscribed and share the episode with another woman who's carrying too much on her own.–Connect with Deanna Herrin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaherrin/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

    Every entrepreneur has a moment where they look in the mirror and quietly wonder if they are fooling everyone around them. I have had that moment more times than I can count, and in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, I sit down with someone who once admitted she felt the exact same way at the height of her confidence on stage. Her name is Natalie Bevacqua, and our conversation dives deep into the parts of the entrepreneurial journey most people never talk about. If you have ever struggled with imposter syndrome, felt the urge for a midlife reinvention, or wondered whether you could start over as an introverted entrepreneur, I want you to hear this. Natalie and I go all the way back to Austin in 2005. When I first met her, she walked into every room with a level of confidence and charisma that made people lean in. I assumed she had it all figured out. What I later learned is that behind that confidence lived a woman who was just as nervous, anxious, and uncertain as the rest of us. In this interview, we revisit that moment and unpack what it means to lead while still wrestling with doubt, how to stop caring so much about what other people think, and why the messy, unpolished parts of our stories are the most relatable and powerful. Natalie Bevacqua opens up about leaving Austin, moving to a brand new city in her 50s, and starting from scratch. Imagine being a woman entrepreneur, well-established and successful, suddenly landing in a place where you know no one except your husband. At a time when many people begin settling into routine, she chose to rebuild her community, her business, and her identity from the ground up. That kind of midlife reinvention takes courage most people never access, and she walks us through exactly what that journey taught her. As we talk, she shares how her entrepreneurial path has been shaped by overcoming self-doubt, trusting herself, and learning how to build authentic connections instead of forced networking. We explore how introverts can thrive in business, how personal growth changes in our 30s, 40s, and 50s, and why entrepreneurship remains one of the greatest gifts we have. With over 25 years as an entrepreneur in the health, wellness, and beauty industry, Natalie has dedicated her career to empowering women to prioritize their well-being while creating lives of purpose and meaning. As a breast cancer and melanoma survivor, she has learned firsthand the importance of nurturing both inner and outer health. Those seasons deepened her passion for helping women build confidence, resilience, and radiant health from the inside out. Natalie hosts wellness programs, her signature Wellness Wednesday texts, and Women's Circles, all designed to help women feel supported, strong, and seen. If you are seeking wellness guidance, community, or mentorship to rediscover your own glow, she would love to connect with you. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from your purpose, I hope this interview reminds you that reinvention is possible at any age. You can start over in a new city. You can shift careers. You can take control of your future. You can grow even while scared. And a single conversation or small moment of courage can create a Ripple Effect that changes everything.

    This week, in Episode 271, we welcome another new voice to the podcast: Channon Kennedy, who takes us inside the side hustle that's become her second full-time job. Channon is the inventor and patent holder of the Morgan Square, a clever measuring tool—here's a demonstration—that's racking up awards, expanding its distribution, and carving out space for a woman founder in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This is a true bootstrap story. Channon's numbers are modest enough that she still does most of her own fulfillment at night after her day job as a banker—and she loves it. “Every time I get an order,” she says, “I feel like I'm wrapping a Christmas present. I'm just so excited that somebody wants something that I've created.” Plus: Paul Downs checks in with an update. After posting his best year ever in 2024, he was blindsided when sales suddenly stalled earlier this year, forcing him to lay off a third of his employees. Sales have since rebounded, but now he's staring at a backlog and a different dilemma: Does he hire aggressively to meet the higher demand—or play it safe until he sees how 2026 begins?
