Brad Stulberg experienced a severe mental health crisis in his early 30s, battling OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and suicidal ideation while outwardly succeeding as a performance coach. This disconnect between his external achievements and internal struggles pushed him to reevaluate how he defined success and excellence. Through therapy, psychiatry, and extensive research, he developed six principles of groundedness to support sustainable success during both good and difficult times. In this episode, Brad explains how groundedness can reduce burnout and promote long-term mental health, wellness, and performance.

On today's episode, we welcome Genevieve Dolan, Founder & CEO of Golden Child Beauty — the modern skincare brand built around balance, simplicity, and supporting skin through real life.Genevieve's path to building Golden Child Beauty was shaped by years of navigating cystic acne, prescription treatments, and extremes that often left her skin — and confidence — worse off. Instead of launching an overwhelming routine, she chose a radically restrained approach: a simple system designed to calm, hydrate, and support the skin barrier, while working alongside stress, seasonal changes, and even dermatologist-prescribed treatments.In this episode, Genevieve shares why doing less can actually create better results, how emotional trust plays a role in skincare, and what it takes to build products people rely on — not just physically, but emotionally. We talk about restraint in a hype-driven industry, transparency, product compatibility, and how to scale a brand without losing its intention. A thoughtful conversation for founders, operators, and anyone rethinking how skincare — and self-care — can feel more supportive and human. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

I'm saying the quiet part out loud: if you don't build your sales muscle, growth stalls - no matter how talented you are. In this episode, Julia Arpag, CEO and Founder of Aligned Recruitment, shares with me how she went from five weeks postpartum and laid off to building a seven-figure tech recruitment firm by treating selling as service, investing early in mentorship, and using LinkedIn + networking like a real funnel.Julia's journey began in August 2023 when she was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. What could have been a destabilizing moment became the catalyst for something extraordinary. While briefly accepting a W-2 role, she started selling for a friend's startup recruitment venture on the side. Within months, she closed three retainer clients. That early traction forced a pivotal decision: continue playing it safe, or step fully into entrepreneurship despite fears around sales, taxes, and “not knowing enough.” She chose the leap. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, Julia invested her earliest earnings into mentorship by hiring an executive coach who had sold a recruitment agency for $28 million, a LinkedIn writing coach, and systems experts. Inspired by Carol Dweck's Mindset and the philosophy of “Who Not How,” she built her sales muscle, reframed selling as service, and adopted a growth mindset that became foundational to Aligned Recruitment's rapid success. She reminds us that for women entrepreneurs especially, seeking support is often the difference between staying small and scaling meaningfully. We also explored Julia's tactical wisdom as a recruiter, including why job seekers should treat their search like a sales funnel, how to optimize LinkedIn to be discovered, and why networking consistently outperforms cold online applications. At a deeper level, Julia challenges the idea that business success must come at the cost of personal well-being. Her philosophy is clear: build a business around your life, not the other way around. This conversation is a powerful reminder for all of us that profitability, purpose, and peace can coexist. Tune in to hear my conversation with Julia Arpag and how she is redefining what it looks like for women to lead, sell, and scale without losing themselves in the process. Chapters: 01:12

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to create an internship program? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Adam Rossen - a lawyer who founded his firm in 2008—shares the 15-year journey of developing a robust law firm internship program. The episode highlights lessons learned, the importance of mentorship, community impact, and practical advice for building effective internship programs, especially in the legal field. Having a solid internship program can really make your law firm stand out and be something to use to attract and retain new talent. Adam speaks to some of the key things to have when formalizing a program. One thing to incorporate is speakers. This will create a real world experience for interns who can learn from the best. Adam had some judges speak to his summer interns this past year. Another component is having a summer book club which makes the program more formal and curriculum based. His students read a book on the federal criminal justice system, written by a judge.Adam and Tyson chat about how to recruit for an internship program. One thing a firm can do is create some marketing materials to promote the firm. If you have a good relationship with colleges and universities in your city, you can connect with them to help promote the program to their students. Something to consider, which is something Adam has done in his firm, is connect with criminal justice organizations to help recruit individuals who don't have a background in law to intern at the firm. These can be individuals who are looking for a change in career or who have been in contact with the law and want to work in the field.Listen in to learn more about creating a robust internship program!4:04 Growth and Speaking to Students10:18 Formalizing A Program14:06 Program Structure & Recruitment 17:28 Advice for Starting an Internship Program20:27 Long-Term Impact & Networking Connect with Adam:Website  Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

True sacrifice involves letting go of distractions and negative influences, rather than letting go of the people or things you truly care about. Our personal stories — both the ones we share and those we keep to ourselves — play a crucial role in shaping our leadership.   Establishing boundaries and being ruthless in your priorities, even if it means stepping outside your comfort zone or distancing yourself from loved ones, is essential for determining your success.    Remember, who you were yesterday doesn't dictate who you need to be to fully embrace life and take action toward your biggest dreams.   In this episode, you'll discover the power of sharing your story, even while you're still living it. You'll learn that releasing what doesn't serve you makes room for gratitude, and that sacrifice isn't about what you lose — it's about filtering out the noise.   Jess Dewell chats with Benny Mobley, a Legacy Coach, about the importance of reclaiming your authority through small, consistent daily efforts. They explore how to overcome limiting beliefs and embrace authenticity to build the resilience needed to thrive as an entrepreneur.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the "Growth Framework Reset" approach. This will help you keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Thais Gibson for a clear, compassionate conversation about attachment theory and how it shapes the way you love, communicate, and relate in every area of life. We break down what attachment really is — the subconscious “rules” you learned about love and safety — and how it shows up in friendships, romantic relationships, and even family dynamics. Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant), what drives each pattern, and how childhood experiences and repeated emotional conditioning shape your nervous system. We also explore how attachment can shift in adulthood, and why your conscious mind alone can't out-will old subconscious habits. Thais shares practical tools for healing, including nervous system regulation, boundary building, and rewiring your beliefs through consistent emotional practice. Whether you relate to anxious attachment, avoidant patterns, or you're seeking a more secure way of relating, this episode offers insightful, actionable guidance for building healthier relationships and deeper self-awareness.

If your business falls apart when you leave for vacation, congrats. You built a trap, not a company. This episode isn't another cheerleading session for overworked founders. Jake Isaacs joins Matt and Luigi to rip into why most entrepreneurs are exhausted, isolated, and low-key addicted to chaos.  From building real communities to training kids for capitalism early, Jake lays out how Gathering the Kings is more than a buzzword mastermind; it's a system for staying sane.  

Send us a textAI is everywhere. Subscriptions are everywhere. And somehow, everyone feels more tired than helped. In this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into the very real rise of AI fatigue and subscription fatigue—and why tools that promise speed and leverage often end up doing the opposite. Businesses keep layering on AI features, dashboards, and monthly tools, assuming more capability automatically means more value. Spoiler: it doesn't.We unpack how companies unintentionally train customers to cancel by over-selling potential and under-delivering practical outcomes. When software value lives in theory instead of day-to-day use, it's always the first line item to get cut. We talk about why underused tools feel expensive no matter the price, how AI has become a checkbox instead of a strategy, and why “just add AI” is not a business model.This conversation goes beyond tech trends and into real business strategy. If you're building products, pricing subscriptions, or running a company that relies on recurring revenue, this episode breaks down what real value actually feels like to customers—and how clarity, simplicity, and outcomes beat novelty every time. We also connect the dots between tool overload, decision fatigue, and why leadership teams are quietly overwhelmed even while spending more than ever on software.If you've ever looked at your stack and thought, “We should be getting way more out of this,” or wondered why customers churn even when your product is objectively powerful, this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home.Grab a drink, listen in, and if you enjoy the conversation, help keep the podcast going—visit https://mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer

Aujourd'hui, on se retrouve pour une nouvelle leçon du mercredi, un format dans lequel j'accompagne l'un ou l'une d'entre vous sur une question très concrète de démarrage entrepreneurial.Dans cet épisode je reçois Roxane Gentile, qui se lance pour la 1ère fois dans l'entrepreneuriat avec un projet ambitieux : une application de revente de cosmétiques de seconde main, pensée spécifiquement pour les contraintes de la beauté (traçabilité, hygiène, sécurité).Roxane a déjà fait énormément de choses : une équipe engagée, une version bêta imminente, une vision claire. Mais une question centrale la travaille : comment bien commencer quand on n'a ni réseau, ni codes, ni moyens importants ? Comment trouver les bons mentors, savoir quand lever des fonds et surtout, comment entrer dans l'univers des startups sans se perdre ?Dans cette leçon, je partage avec elle une conviction forte et des conseils très pragmatiques : le réseau ne précède pas toujours la réussite, l'exécution compte plus que le jargon, et c'est souvent le contact avec les premiers clients qui ouvre les bonnes portes.Une leçon de bon sens, d'état d'esprit et d'action pour toutes celles et ceux qui démarrent de 0 et veulent avancer sans se tromper de combat.Bonne écoute ✨CHAPITRAGE 00:00 – Introduction et contexte du projet02:00 – Présentation de Roxane et de l'application de seconde main beauté05:30 – Le mythe du réseau : pourquoi il ne faut pas se tromper de priorité09:30 – Exécution, produit et clients : ce qui fait vraiment la différence14:00 – Business plan, budget et bon sens quand on démarre sans moyens19:30 – Lancer imparfaitement, apprendre vite et durer dans le temps#LeçonDuMercredi #Entrepreneuriat #Startup #CréerSonEntreprise #LancerUnProjet #BusinessPlan #PremiersClients #MindsetEntrepreneur #SecondeMain #BeautéResponsable #PaulineLaigneau #PodcastBusinessNotes et références de l'épisode Pour retrouver le replay du Grand Live : Les nouveaux codes des réseaux sociaux en 2026Sur Demian.education Pour retrouver la formation “Energie Reset : Alimentation, sport, sommeil, apparence, clarté mentale”Sur Demian.education Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Entrepreneur, author, and former telecom executive Roy Osing joins me to talk about what it really means to survive getting the s**t kicked out of you—and why meaningful differentiation is the only durable way back.Most business conversations focus on growth tactics or recovery platitudes. This episode doesn't. Roy and I walk through the reality of being demoted, sidelined, and underestimated—then rebuilding leverage not through ego or exits, but through performance, patience, and strategic clarity.Roy shares how he helped grow an early-stage data and internet company to over a billion dollars in revenue, not by following playbooks, but by rejecting them. We break down why “blue ocean” thinking fails in the real world, how copying successful companies turns you into a commodity, and why differentiation only matters if customers actually care.The conversation moves from corporate power dynamics to entrepreneurship, where Roy dismantles the myth that success comes from speed, scale, or selling quickly. Instead, he argues for building an “only” value proposition—one that satisfies customer cravings, not abstract needs—and for staying in the fight long enough to earn trust, credibility, and leverage.This isn't a story about avoiding failure. It's about what to do after you hit the wall: when titles disappear, leverage evaporates, and the only thing left is how you perform when no one owes you anything.The lesson isn't bravado or revenge.It's humility, focus, and building something that can't be copied.TL;DR* Everyone who builds something meaningful gets knocked down eventually* Differentiation only works if customers actually care about it* Copying winners turns businesses into commodities with shrinking margins* “Blue oceans” are academic fantasies without practical execution* Real leverage comes from performance after setbacks, not ego or exits* Customers buy based on emotional cravings, not rational needs* Being “different” without value is just narcissism* The goal isn't to stand out—it's to be the only one who does what you doMemorable Lines* “Be different or be dead.”* “Copying success is a form of insanity.”* “What you think of yourself doesn't matter—what customers crave does.”* “If you stay after the demotion, you earn leverage through performance.”* “Differentiation without value is just narcissism.”GuestRoy Osing — Entrepreneur, author, and former telecom executiveAuthor of Be Different or Be Dead and six other books on practical business differentiation. Former senior executive who helped scale a data and internet company to over $1B in revenue, now advising leaders on building category-of-one strategies.

Many entrepreneurs are technically “in business” but still trapped working for a relentless, 24/7 boss: themselves. In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Jessica Christy unpack what it takes to build a true entrepreneurial company instead. Hear how a painful team exodus became Jessica's biggest growth catalyst and how clear core values, better leadership, and greater control over your life create a company you never want to retire from. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Jessica's original “entrepreneurial moment” while she was still working for someone else.How her medical aesthetics company, Beauty Culture, helps clients far beyond surface-level appearance.What makes her company stand out in a crowded, diluted industry.How to build the confidence to step into big, scary opportunities.What Jessica has gained since joining Strategic Coach®. Show Notes: Most entrepreneurs aren't running true companies yet; they've simply created a demanding job where they work for themselves. When you're self‑employed, your “boss” follows you everywhere—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—and is often tougher than any previous employer. Being your own boss doesn't automatically make you a good boss, especially for your team or for your future self. The Four Freedoms at the heart of entrepreneurial motivation are freedom of time, money, relationship, and purpose, and true entrepreneurial companies are built to expand all four. If you've designed a life and business you truly love, the desire to retire largely disappears because work is an expression of your purpose.​When entrepreneurs get together, the most valuable conversations are about how they transformed failures and crises into breakthroughs, not just about their wins.​The more you learn as an entrepreneur, the more aware you become of how much you don't know, which keeps you curious, humble, and growth oriented. People rarely leave “bad jobs” so much as they leave a lack of leadership; team members crave clear vision, accountability, and support from their boss. Strong core values act as the navigating compass for your entire company, guiding who you hire, fire, promote, and partner with. Resources: The 4 Freedoms That Motivate Successful Entrepreneurs The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

On Jesse's 13th AMA episode, he steps back from tactics and returns to first principles, answering listener questions that cut to the core of what financial planning actually is—and what it is not. He begins by dismantling the common assumption that a portfolio and a financial plan are interchangeable, explaining why investing is only one component of a much broader process that aligns cash flow, risk, taxes, goals, and life transitions across decades. From there, Jesse walks listeners through his end-to-end financial planning framework, starting with values and goal clarification, moving through balance sheets, cash flow, taxes, insurance, and estate planning, and ending with implementation and ongoing iteration as life evolves. Using the example of young adults in their 20s, he highlights where early financial energy is best spent: awareness of spending, intentional goal-setting, early investing for learning and compounding, and developing human capital through career growth. The episode closes with a thoughtful response to a fellow planner's question about client inertia, blending behavioral finance and lived experience to explain why busy, successful people often delay planning—and how patience, education, structure, and progress over perfection can create momentum without coercion. Throughout, Jesse reinforces a central theme: real financial planning is not about perfect portfolios, but about creating clarity, flexibility, and forward motion in an uncertain and deeply human life. Key Takeaways: • A portfolio and a financial plan are not the same thing. Investing is only one component of comprehensive financial planning. • Your financial plan must align money with goals, values, and life realities. • Financial plans must evolve as careers, families, and health change. • Career growth can compound more powerfully than portfolio tweaks. • Client inertia is usually about time, emotion, or uncertainty—not laziness. • The ultimate goal of planning is clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind. Progress does not have to be linear or immediate to be meaningful.

An outdated theme (e.g., last updated in August 2025 when we're in 2026) can cost you visibility because the algorithm may perceive your site as less maintained and current.Q3: What is Theme Liquid in Shopify?A: Theme Liquid is Shopify's templating language that allows you to customize code within the closed-source platform. It's where you would add custom elements like pop-ups, tracking codes, or other modifications that aren't available through standard theme settings.Q4: Do I need to create a sitemap for my Shopify store?A: No. Shopify automatically generates and maintains your sitemap as soon as you publish pages, products, collections, and posts. This is a major advantage over WordPress, where you need to install and configure sitemap plugins and ensure there are no conflicts.Q5: What's the difference between Google Search Console and Google Analytics?A: Google Search Console is for submitting your sitemap and monitoring how search engines crawl and index your site, while Google Analytics tracks visitor behavior and traffic sources. Both are important, but they serve different purposes. You must submit your sitemap to Search Console for proper SEO.Q6: How do I fix the Wix tag indexing problem?A: Go to your Wix dashboard, click Settings (bottom left corner), navigate to SEO Settings, find the Blog Tags section, and disable the "no index" robots.txt setting that's enabled by default. This allows your blog tags to be indexed by search engines.Q7: Why should I update my footer copyright year?A: The footer copyright year (e.g., "© 2026") is on-page text that AI and search engines scan. An outdated year (like "© 2023") signals that your site may not be actively maintained, even if you've updated content elsewhere. It's a simple but important ranking signal.Q8: How should I structure product URLs for better SEO?A: Use strategic placement of descriptive words and numbers. For example, "red-roses-12-piece" is better than "12-piece-red-roses" because users scanning search results will see "red roses" first, then the number variants (6, 12, 36), creating pattern disruption that draws attention and improves pre-purchase clicks.Q9: What is Open Graph (OG) and why does it matter?A: Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on social media, messaging apps, and other platforms. When you send a link via WhatsApp or iMessage and see a preview with title and image, that's Open Graph data. Properly configured OG tags ensure your content looks professional when shared.Q10: Should I choose Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress for my business?A: Choose Shopify if you're running a product-based e-commerce store and need robust selling features. Choose Squarespace if you need a quick, aesthetically pleasing site for content, portfolios, or small-scale selling. Choose WordPress if you need maximum customization, flexibility, and control (open-source), but be prepared for more technical management.Q11: What is NAP and why is it important?A: NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. For websites, "address" includes your domain (www address). Consistent NAP information across your website and online directories is crucial for local SEO and helps search engines verify your business legitimacy.Q12: Can I get a free website audit from Favour?A: Yes! Favour offers surface-level website audits to help identify issues like broken links, slow pages, and basic SEO problems.
