What happens when clients see your pet care business as interchangeable with everyone else? In this episode, we break down the commodity trap and why it's not a pricing problem—it's a positioning problem. We walk through the client, financial, and operational red flags that quietly signal your business is stuck competing on price. We explain why being more trained, more insured, and more professional often hurts more when the market doesn't reward it. Finally, we share a practical framework for moving from commodity to chosen by selling outcomes, making your process visible, and building a business designed for the right clients. Main topics: Defining the commodity trap Client pricing behavior signals Margin and burnout cycles Operational warning signs Moving from commodity to chosen Main takeaway: "If the only question a client ever asks you is how much you charge, that's not a pricing problem—it's a positioning problem." That single question can quietly reveal whether your business is being treated as interchangeable. When pet care becomes a commodity, price becomes the deciding factor, margins shrink, and burnout follows. Being better, more trained, or more professional doesn't automatically protect you if clients can't see the difference. Escaping the commodity trap starts by changing what you sell—from tasks to outcomes—and making your process visible. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Glynis's journey is one of the most intense and transformative we've ever shared. She began using drugs at a painfully young age, smoking crack by 12, moving through juvie, and growing up as a ward of the state. By 18 she was stripping to survive, drifting from Massachusetts to Texas in the hope that a new place might quiet her addiction. Instead, she spent years in Dallas working as a prostitute and becoming deeply enmeshed the world of solicitation.Everything changed when she was arrested while smuggling people across the border between Mexico and California. That prison sentence became the turning point she never saw coming. Glynis got sober, stayed sober, and rebuilt her life from the foundation up.Today she has six years clean and is opening her own treatment center Peak Path Health in the Hollywood Hills, determined to give others the safety and support she never had.This episode is a powerful conversation about resilience, redemption, and the belief that no one is too far gone to find a new path.Check out Worthy Wellness CenterConnect with Glynis on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the traditional idea of work-life balance is holding so many people back from real self-improvement. They reveal how the wrong mental map can derail your decision-making, weaken your consistency, and limit your growth long before you realize it. Instead of chasing balance, you'll learn the performance-driven frame high achievers use to make progress across health, wealth, and love without burning out or drifting off course. This is a direct, practical look at personal development for people who want results, not clichés. Listen now, rethink your framework, and step into the version of yourself you've been avoiding._______________________Learn more about:The “Next Level Hope Foundation” creates meaningful experiences for kids growing up without a father figure and builds a positive, supportive community around them.To support this event, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/5c6abcf7fJoin our private Facebook community, “Next Level Nation,” to grow alongside people who are committed to improvement. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

Zita Cobb grew up on Fogo Island, a remote fishing community off the coast of Newfoundland that operated for centuries without cash. Her childhood was shaped by a deep sense of place, the collapse of the inshore fishery, and a belief that communities survive through mutual care. When she left to study business, and later helped build JDS Uniphase into one of the most successful high-tech companies of its era, she carried those ideas with her. The rise and fall of the telecom bubble gave her a front-row view into what happens when profit and speed outrun purpose, sending her searching for a different model of development.In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I sit down with Zita to talk about that journey and the philosophy that guides her work today. We discuss why she believes business is a tool for solving real problems and how communities can reclaim agency by understanding their own assets. Zita explains how Shorefast grew into a holistic set of enterprises on Fogo Island, including the Fogo Island Inn, which reinvests all surpluses into local culture and economic development. We talk about how communities can build their own pathways to development and why Zita believes lasting change begins close to home.—Brought to you by: ⁠Framer⁠: Build better sites, faster at ⁠https://www.framer.com/design⁠ Use code "ERIC"—Where to find Zita Cobb:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zita-cobb• Website: https://shorefast.org —Where to find Eric:• Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericries.carrd.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ —In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:15) How her father nudged her to leave Fogo Island(04:46) What life was like growing up on Fogo Island(08:37) A short history of Fogo Island(11:15) Leaving home to recover from tuberculosis(13:15) The experience of leaving for university(15:04) Early challenges at university(16:17) What education looked like on Fogo Island(18:01) How adapting to modern life shaped Zita's systems thinking(20:24) Zita's travels and early roles at Texaco and Shell(22:30) How Zita got into tech (24:05) How Zita learned that technical possibility alone is not enough(26:57) Joining JDS and taking it public (30:54) The rise and fall of the telecom bubble (34:08) Why taking JDS public felt like a mistake and what she learned about putting profit first(38:52) Zita's father's legacy (41:45) Why Zita spent five years sailing after ending her tech career(44:47) Zita's work distributing radios in Rwanda (46:32) Why she went back to Fogo Island to spark economic development (49:26) The beginnings of Shorefast(53:11) How the ownership model protects Shorefast's mission from the pitfalls of money(56:29) An overview of Fogo Island Inn and how its local-first mission spread (1:03:32) Why Shorefast chose the harder path and paid deep attention to details(1:08:18) What community means(1:12:09) How Shorefast Institute models a new approach to investing for development(1:16:53) Learnings from The Third Pillar (1:18:05) Why Shorefast created the economic nutrition label —You can find episode references at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Production and marketing by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pen Name⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Eric may be an investor in the companies discussed.

Brian From moves from heartwarming viral stories and frigid-weather musings to deeper reflections on habits, comparison, and the spiritual “ice” that keeps us from seeing clearly. He wrestles with cultural debates—from extravagant church Christmas productions to surprising zoo controversies—while continually inviting listeners back to the hope, clarity, and stability found in Jesus, our firm foundation. As Christmas approaches, Brian urges us to shed the weights that entangle, embrace our God-given callings, and remember that even amid rubble, Christ holds every story together.

Mike “C‑Roc” sits down with Shane Ramer for a raw and deeply honest conversation about addiction, chaos, identity, and the spiritual awakening that changed his life. Shane opens up about growing up in a volatile home, discovering alcohol at 14, and using escapism as his default coping mechanism well into adulthood—until a breaking point forced him to confront the man he was becoming. He shares his journey of rebuilding his marriage, learning to communicate without substances, and becoming a father who leads with love instead of avoidance. Together, Shane and Mike "C‑Roc" explore the seductive cycle of chaos, the dangers of numbing emotions, the difference between religion and a true relationship with God, and why sobriety is ultimately about connection—with yourself, your family, and something higher. This episode is a compelling reminder that real transformation begins with brutal honesty, deep self-love, and the courage to choose a better path.Website-https://www.thatsoberguy.com/ Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/thatsoberguypodcast/https://www.youtube.com/thatsoberguypodcast

Have you ever looked at the life you're presenting to the world and thought… “This isn't actually me”? So many of us move through life wearing masks - hiding our sensitivities, our complexity, our neurodivergence, or simply the parts of ourselves we fear won't be accepted. Today's guest, Alina Bellchambers, knows this journey intimately. Alina grew up inside her family's bookstore, spending her childhood immersed in other worlds - worldbuilding, psychology and fantasy becoming early languages she now weaves into her writing. Today, she's the author of two highly acclaimed romantasy psychological thrillers: The Order of Masks - a high-stakes tale of deception, power, and identity and The Weight of Crowns - a darkly seductive exploration of destiny, desire and the cost of becoming who you truly are. And this conversation goes exactly there - into identity, masking, authenticity, self-acceptance, and what it really takes to stop shaping yourself to keep others comfortable. I adored this conversation because Alina speaks so openly about unmasking, self-acceptance and the freedom that comes when you allow yourself to be fully you. These themes are so deeply tied to my work as a mindset coach - helping people peel back the layers of who they thought they needed to be and reconnect with who they truly are. Key Episode Takeaways: Why fantasy (and especially romantasy) offers such powerful escapism and how Alina uses her psychology background to create rich, layered characters and psychologically tense storylines What “masking” really means, how it shows up for women, and why so many are misdiagnosed or misunderstood The role of autism and neurodivergence in identity formation and self-acceptance and why letting go of others' expectations is the most liberating thing you'll ever do The reality of becoming an author - the discipline and the magic of creative flow What happens when you stop shrinking, stop performing, and start choosing authenticity About the Guest: Alina Bellchambers grew up in her family's bookstore and spent her childhood immersed in fantastical worlds. Today, she channels that lifelong love of storytelling into writing romantic fantasy and psychologically rich thrillers featuring fierce female protagonists, morally grey characters, intoxicating magic and seductive court politics. She is the author of two acclaimed romantasy novels - The Order of Masks and The Weight of Crowns. Alongside her writing career, Alina is also an actor, model and public speaker. She holds a degree in psychology and writes from her forty-acre hobby farm in the picturesque Adelaide Hills of South Australia. When she's not typing away in her study (with a cup of tea always nearby), Alina enjoys creative arts, hiking with her feisty dog Scamp, and connecting with her readers on social media at @alinabellwrites.

In this powerful conversation, Tia Levings shares the harrowing true story behind her memoir A Well-Trained Wife—how she was groomed in a fundamentalist evangelical church, survived church-sanctioned domestic abuse, and made a midnight escape from a violent marriage. Joined by Amy Hawk and Pat Kahnke, Tia describes how Bill Gothard's teachings, Doug Wilson's Christian patriarchy movement, and the toxic promises of evangelical purity culture shaped her life. From megachurch culture to cult-like control, she unpacks the spiritual manipulation that left her without a sense of self—and the long journey of reclaiming her voice. If you've experienced religious trauma, domestic violence, or the disillusionment of high-control Christianity, this interview offers both a mirror and a lifeline.

In this episode (Part 24), we dive into one of the most dramatic and painful chapters in early Letter-day Saint history: Liberty Jail. Joseph Smith was arrested on December 1, 1838 and eventually taken to Liberty Jail. Today we will cover his imprisonment, the chaotic legal proceedings that followed, and the eventual “escape” that allowed him to reunite with his family as the Saints resettled in Quincy, Illinois. We explore how internal conflicts, political pressures, treason charges, and widespread anti-Mormon hostility shaped Joseph's experience –and how his letters from Liberty Jail become some of the most cherished passages in Latter-day Saint scripture. We discuss betrayal, leadership crises, the brutality of Missouri's expulsion, and the Saints' struggle to survive amidst violence, sickness, and dislocation. This chapter also raises hard questions:Was Joseph Smith's trial fair?What role did dissenting church leaders play?How much of the Liberty Jail narrative has been “whitewashed”?What does Joseph Smith's behavior tell us about his character?We conclude by following Joseph's escape, his emotionally charged reunion with the Saints in Illinois, and the lasting trauma and financial strain the Missouri experience left behind.

Escaping the New Age Trap & Seeking Authenticity with Laura Shamanic Self This episode dives into a hard, unvarnished conversation about spiritual authenticity, deception, and the traps people fall into when they first break away from organized religion or mainstream narratives. Ryan opens by reflecting on how questioning everything can be liberating but also destabilizing, especially when old belief systems collapse and the alternatives—New Age teachings, "gurus," channelers, star-seed mythologies, and spiritual authority figures—often carry their own hidden agendas. He emphasizes his commitment to staying open, critical, and self-interrogating, even when perspectives clash, and he acknowledges that not every spiritual experience or teacher is fraudulent—there are glimpses of genuine love, beauty, and authenticity worth fighting for. Laura, founder of Shamanic Self, joins the show to break down her journey out of the New Age movement and explain why she believes much of it is a sophisticated trap. She discusses how people awakening to deeper truths often get funneled directly into another belief system that feeds their ego, siphons their energy, and pushes them toward external entities, "guides," and false cosmologies rather than their own inner knowing. Laura describes the years she spent following prominent New Age figures, the moment her life collapsed under their guidance, and how that crisis ultimately became her exit ramp. She outlines her current approach to intuitive work, one built on inner discernment, rejecting external "guides," and avoiding anything she sees as astral interference or AI-like deception. The conversation goes deep into metaphysics, soul contracts, resets, the nature of consciousness, why certain public spiritual figures may be controlled opposition, and how to navigate a world distorted by misinformation and hijacked belief systems. Despite clear disagreements, both maintain a grounded respect for one another's perspectives. The episode ends with a shared commitment to seeking truth, staying sovereign, and not surrendering personal power to any system claiming to have all the answers. WEBSITE: https://www.shamanicself.com/ ---------------- Takeaways include" Many people escaping religion fall directly into another trap—the New Age—because it appears liberating while quietly redirecting power away from the individual. Authentic spiritual insight requires discipline, inner work, and the ability to distinguish intuition from astral manipulation or external influence. Not all "gurus," psychics, or channelers are malicious, but many deliver harmful guidance, feed ego, or operate as controlled narratives. Sovereignty comes from grounding in personal intuition, not outsourcing authority to entities, guides, movements, or ideologies. Even within a world filled with deception, personal experiences of love, beauty, and genuine connection remain proof that not everything is corrupted—and those glimpses are worth defending. ---------------- Shamanic Self, spiritual authenticity, New Age deception, inner sovereignty, discernment, shamanic practice, matrix reality, astral interference, soul contracts, awakening, controlled opposition

In this episode of the Anchored Podcast by Classic Learning Test, Jeremy Wayne Tate sits down with 98‑year‑old Blouke Carus to share an unforgettable story of childhood under Nazi Germany, escape to the United States, and a life shaped by liberal arts education. Carus reflects on what it was like to grow up under totalitarianism, the moment his family fled, and how coming back to America formed his understanding of freedom, responsibility, and the human person.​Drawing on decades as a leader in publishing and education, Carus explains why studying the great books, history, and philosophy gave him resilience, moral clarity, and a sense of purpose that ideology could never supply. This conversation is ideal for students, parents, teachers, and school leaders seeking an alternative to purely technocratic education and looking to recover a deeply human vision of learning.​Listeners will hear about:Life as a child in Nazi Germany and the dangers of propaganda and dehumanizationHis escape back to the United States and the gratitude that shaped his vocationHow a liberal arts education informed his career, leadership, and family lifeWhy reading the great books is essential for forming free and virtuous citizens todayIf you care about classical education, the future of American schools, or how to form the next generation against totalitarian thinking, this episode is for you.

We talk about collaboration, but our brains often treat work like a win-lose game. In this episode, I break down Zero-Sum Bias, the belief that someone else's win automatically means your loss, where it comes from, how it quietly shapes team dynamics, and what you can do to build more win-win outcomes at work.What if your brain has been keeping score at work this whole time? And the game it thinks you're playing doesn't actually exist?We repeat lines like, “If a stakeholder wins, designers lose,” or “If the PM wins, users lose,” so often that they start to feel like facts. In this episode of the Cognition Catalog, we unpack Zero-Sum Bias, the belief that someone else's gain must come at your expense, and how that thinking quietly turns collaboration into a contest.I walk through where this bias comes from, starting with early economic and game theory models like zero-sum games, where wins and losses truly do net out to zero, and how that maps onto our evolutionary history of genuine scarcity. Food, safety, and resources really were limited, so one person's gain often did mean someone else's loss. The problem is that our brains still carry that wiring into modern workplaces that are full of shared goals, interdependence, and cross-functional teams.From design vs. product vs. engineering “tensions” to resourcing, prioritization, and recognition, I break down how zero-sum thinking shows up in everyday UX work—and what changes when you stop assuming only one side can win. We'll talk about practical ways to spot the bias, shift toward non-zero-sum thinking, and design team habits that reward collaboration over quiet competition.If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “If they win, I lose,” this episode will help you reset the scoreboard and build healthier ways of working together.Topics:• 02:08 Debunking Zero Sum Thinking• 03:13 Origins and Evolution of Zero Sum Bias• 04:09 Impact of Zero Sum Bias on Teams• 06:18 Strategies to Combat Zero-Sum BiasTo explore more about the Naive Cynicism, don't miss the full article @ ⁠⁠cognitioncatalog.com⁠⁠—Thanks for listening!

“Stress is growth. It's the driver of evolution itself. Stress is what creates everything. We need to reframe the very meaning of stress so that we don't fear it.” —Tammy AllenSome days, life feels like one long sprint where stress keeps piling up faster than clarity. There are moments when the world pushes harder than expected, and it becomes tempting to believe the pressure means something is wrong. It may be worth considering that stress could be pointing toward growth instead of defeat.Tammy Allen brings decades of real-life experience to this idea, shaped by a childhood marked by responsibility, a violent early relationship she escaped, and a lifetime of reinvention that led to her work on stress, intuition, and resilience. Her journey fuels her mission to help others turn survival mode into grounded confidence.Press play for an honest, energizing look at stress that leaves room for hope, humor, and real change.Topics covered:• Childhood patterns that shape adult stress responses• Surviving trauma and learning strategic calm• The survival response and how to redirect it• Declarations and tools that retrain thinking• Building doubtless confidence through action• Why intuition becomes louder in stillness• Stress during world chaos and staying in personal coherence• Creativity, problem solving, and finding the third option• The Great Stress Reset and practical resets for daily lifeConnect with Heather: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebook YouTubeEpisode Highlights:01:34 Redefining Aging and “The Juice of Life” Philosophy 07:00 Escaping an Abusive Relationship and Learning Survival Strategy 14:00 Why Stress Exists and How to Reframe It20:09 Why Creativity Peaks at 9 AM and Capturing Ideas Fast27:45 Turning Stress Into Doubtless Confidence31:58 Breaking the “Poor Me” Cycle37:40 Taking Action Strategically: Influence vs Control43:30 Collective Growth Resources:

Growing up in the Fraternal Society of St. Peter meant living under strict rules, complete isolation, and predetermined life paths. At 12 years old, she was told her only options were marriage or becoming a nun. The breaking point came when her parents blamed her for a sexual assault and prioritized their image over her safety. After carefully planning her escape, she rebuilt her life through physical distance, healthy relationships, and reconnecting with cut-off family members. Pastor Plek ends this episode with a bold call to follow Jesus.Text your questions to us at 737-231-0605 or visit pastorplek.com.

In a culture that trains children to perform their lives instead of live them, Sharon Hodde Miller returns to explore why so many young people feel fragile, insecure, and exhausted and why the solution isn't more confidence, but a bigger purpose. Drawing from Free of Me and her new devotional Gazing at God, Sharon explains the overlooked root of modern insecurity: we've taught kids to evaluate their worth through constant self-focus, endless mirrors, and the metrics of the attention economy. Together, Sharon and Ginny uncover how shrinking our children's purpose down to “finding themselves” has left them anxious, isolated, and unsure of who they are apart from an audience. This conversation offers a hopeful, deeply practical way forward. Sharon shares how hiddenness, beauty, and turning our gaze toward God free us from the heaviness of self-preoccupation and how parents can help kids grow up rooted in something far larger than likes, identity quests, or online performance. From navigating rejection to reimagining purpose, this episode invites families to step out of the spotlight, rediscover joy, and remember that the healthiest life isn't the one constantly seen…but the one securely grounded in love, calling, and connection.

High performers often don't realize how performance pressure shapes their identity until success stops feeling like success. In this episode, Julie Holly helps you release the quiet drive to earn worth through achievement and return to identity-led belonging.High performers rarely see performance pressure as a problem — it feels like responsibility, excellence, or simply “how life works.” But when success feels good while slowly disconnecting you from yourself, you're not dealing with burnout. You're experiencing identity misalignment — the quiet gap between who you are and who you've learned to be.In this episode, Julie names how high-capacity humans begin tying worth to outcomes. Not from insecurity, but because achievement brought affirmation, opportunity, and belonging. Over time, success becomes identity, creating emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue, spiritual depletion, and role confusion that no mindset tactic can solve.Through attachment science, performance psychology, and lived experience, Julie reveals why you keep pushing even when success stops feeling like success — and offers a compassionate path back to the self beneath the striving.Here, you'll understand why the Identity-Level Recalibration Pathway (ILR) isn't another strategy or habit stack. It is the root-level realignment that makes every other tool effective again, restoring presence, belonging, and worth that doesn't depend on production.What You'll LearnWhy achievement feels like the “right” thing even when it drains youHow identity misalignment quietly forms beneath successThe difference between ambition and the internalized pressure to performWhy high performers drift into spiritual exhaustion and emotional numbnessHow role conditioning and early success experiences shaped your identityThe first step to reclaiming the truest version of yourselfWhy ILR offers the psychological and spiritual realignment your system is cravingToday's Micro RecalibrationYou don't have to earn belonging — you get to embody it.Team Recalibration PromptOffer your team this identity-first reflection:“What would it look like for us to work from belonging instead of performance this week?”This simple question softens urgency, restores clarity, and reshapes culture.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Have you ever chased success, only to realize it didn't give you the freedom or fulfillment you hoped for? In this transformative episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Mark Rampolla - founder of ZICO Coconut Water, co-founder of Groundforce Capital, and author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom: 7 Steps to Living Beyond Limits. Mark shares a refreshingly honest look at building ZICO from his garage into a global brand which he sold to Coca-Cola for $200 million (before buying it back a few years later) - and the unexpected discovery that financial success alone doesn't guarantee meaning or joy. Together, Nicole and Mark dive into why entrepreneurs become trapped in the pursuit of more, how the success industry subtly shapes our definitions of achievement, and the practical steps to experiencing internal freedom and fulfillment—right now. If you've ever wondered why your wins still feel incomplete, this conversation offers a roadmap for shifting your mindset, avoiding burnout, and leading from a place of clarity and purpose. You'll also hear what investors truly look for in founders and why personal transformation is the hidden engine behind sustainable business growth, even in seasons of loss. What We Discuss in This Episode What does real success look like, and how does your definition evolve as you grow? Why do entrepreneurs remain stuck in the cycle of chasing more, and how does the success industry reinforce it? How can you prevent burnout and create genuine satisfaction while building your business? What are Mark's seven steps to entrepreneurial freedom and fulfillment? How does self-awareness open the door for personal and team transformation? Which inner habits and tools help you navigate challenges and create lasting freedom? What do top investors like Mark value in founders beyond revenue and metrics? How did losing his home in the Palisades wildfire reshape his perspective on what truly matters? Why is self-reflection essential for both business success and personal joy? How can you begin practicing fulfillment, peace, and purpose in your business today? Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 - Why Success Doesn't Equal Fulfillment 04:50 - Be Honest with Yourself 08:12 - How the Success Industry Creates Burnout 09:58 - Success Through Fulfillment and Presence 15:39 - Personal Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs 17:44 - Shared Freedom and Self-Reflection 20:28 - Escaping the More Mindset 23:32 - Creating Challenges After Retirement 26:18 - Choosing Passion and Purpose 30:59 - Investor Insights: What Founders Must Know 32:54 - How to Lead with Purpose & Clarity 36:25 - Life Lessons from Losing Everything in a Fire 39:50 – Finding Freedom Within 10 Key Takeaways for Finding Freedom & Fulfillment Beyond Money 1. External success doesn't equal inner fulfillment. Financial wins feel good—but they rarely create the deep satisfaction we're truly seeking. 2. The success industry profits from your sense of not enough. Entrepreneurs are constantly sold the belief that the next achievement will finally make them happy. 3. Personal growth is the real engine of business growth. Your company can only expand to the level of your own self-awareness and development. 4. Fulfillment is available in the present moment. Freedom isn't something you achieve later - it's something you cultivate now. 5. Self-awareness creates genuine confidence. Seeing your strengths clearly - and owning your blind spots - accelerates your leadership. 6. Your limiting beliefs are not reality. Challenging your assumptions opens the door to new possibilities and breakthroughs. 7. Burnout undermines your whole ecosystem. Your team and your company feel the impact when you're depleted - renewal is non-negotiable. 8. Coachability and humility matter more than ego. Investors and partners look for leaders who are curious, adaptable, and willing to grow. 9. Loss can become a doorway to freedom. Releasing attachments to things reveals deeper sources of peace and inner security. 10. Lasting success is built on inner transformation. When you evolve on the inside, your relationships, leadership, and business naturally elevate. Favorite Quotes Your business can't grow if you don't. If I can build safety and security within me, without the house—that is liberating and powerful. What annoys us in another is a reflection of what's going on in us. Join Nicole Jansen for this powerful, eye-opening conversation with Mark Rampolla. Discover how to cultivate genuine freedom, fulfillment, and purpose - starting today - from the inside out.
