Send us Fan MailOne of you wants sex. One of you doesn't. And somewhere along the way, that gap stopped being a difference and turned into a fight you keep having with your clothes on. Here's what nobody tells you: the gap was never the problem. It's the two stories you each start telling — one of you hears "you don't want me anymore," the other hears "you only want me for sex and you don't see everything I'm carrying." Both of you feel powerless. Both of you decide the other one is what's broken.This week I sit down with Tarah and EJ Kerwin — a married couple, both licensed therapists, and co-founders of Relationship Renovation. They're living proof this is survivable: two people with all the clinical tools in the world who still spent the better part of a decade finding their way back to each other after four kids in eighteen months detonated the sex life they used to have. They're not here to tell you how many times a week you should be doing it. They're here to hand you the actual way back.In this episode:Why the fight is never really about frequency — and the quality shift that changes everythingThe two stories high-desire and low-desire partners tell themselves, almost word for wordWhy the low-desire partner secretly holds all the power — and why it feels terrible, not powerfulHow to have the conversation without it turning into a fight (time, place, and the rules that keep it safe)"Safety containers" — how to rebuild touch when sex feels like too muchWhere to start tonight, and how to build back one step at a timeCome as you are, bring your partner if you've got one, and know this: there's a path back to each other if you both want it.

Send us Fan MailToday I'm joined by Aaron Johnson — public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, and touch activist whose work centers on the emotional and relational lives of Black men. Aaron is the founder of The Chronically UnderTouched Project — the CUT Project — and the director of Dark and Tender, an 18-minute documentary that follows ten Black men during a retreat on Whidbey Island, Washington. It has been called one of the most quietly revolutionary pieces of film in the healing space right now.Aaron's work begins with a simple and devastating observation: that Black men in America are among the most chronically touch-deprived people in our culture — and that this deprivation has profound consequences for mental health, emotional regulation, nervous system health, and the capacity for genuine connection and community. The CUT Project exists to change that.What we cover:The Black brute archetype — the deeply entrenched cultural narrative of Black men as dangerous, aggressive, and hypersexualized, how it has been constructed and maintained, and what it costs Black men to live inside itMaking Dark and Tender — what it took for Aaron, as both director and facilitator, to create the conditions of genuine safety that allowed ten Black men to be soft, tender, and vulnerable on camera — and why that safety was everythingThe retreat  — what actually happened in the room: men tucking each other in, holding hands, singing, walking barefoot on the earth together, and the extraordinary range of men who showed up — different ages, economic backgrounds, sexualities, and life experiencesWhy diversity within the group was essential — how having a 24-year-old and a 77-year-old, cis and queer and trans men, men from very different economic circumstances, all in the same space together was not incidental but deeply intentionalWhy this footage matters — how seeing tender Black masculinity documented and made visible begins to create an alternative to the Black brute narrative in our cultural imagination, and why representation at this level is genuinely transformativeThe ripple effects — how the film is already moving through the world, the conversations it is opening, the permission it is giving, and why Aaron believes the impact will continue to spreadListening as the first hug — Aaron's understanding of what genuine attunement and presence offer, and why being truly heard is itself a form of touchThe resonance between Aaron's work and the nervous system — what chronic touch deprivation does to a body, and what happens physiologically when that deprivation begins to be addressedWatch 9 minute preview of Dark and Tender: cutproject.org/tenderAaron's invitation: If this conversation moved you, share the film.

This week's episode is a different kind of story. Steph and her family spent Labor Day weekend at a YMCA family camp, something her husband grew up doing every year and always called one of his top childhood memories. Steph never fully understood why until she experienced it herself: no air conditioning in 100-degree heat, a drained pool, cold showers that couldn't touch the heat, and days built entirely around dining hall meals and outdoor activities.It was not her idea of a dream vacation... and that's exactly the point.In this episode, Steph shares what she took away from three days of discomfort, disconnection, and unexpected joy, and the framework she's now bringing into her business and her life:What's covered:Why Steph almost went into the weekend "taking one for the team," and the mindset shift that changed everythingThe difference between leaning in and standing on the sidelines with your arms crossed, and why that choice determines whether you actually get anything out of an experienceBonding through simplicity: what happens when cooking, cleaning, and decision fatigue disappear for three daysWhat three days with no phone service taught her about her own brainThe idea of "growing capacity," and why the conditions being hard didn't cancel out the goodCuriosity over judgment, and how pre-deciding you already know the ending (in a launch, a sales call, a project) quietly kills opportunityThe story behind the episode title: a camp program director, a locked box of marksmanship equipment, and the mantra she uses to stay calm under pressureThe Improvise, Adapt, Overcome framework, and how Steph is already using it with her own mastermind clients✨ THE 30 DAY FIRST CLIENTS FAST TRACK | $197Starts September 1, and this is the last time she's running it.Join at https://stephcrowder.com/fast✨ Sold Out Group ProgramsJoin the waitlist: https://stephcrowder.com/mastermindConnect with StephInstagram: @heystephcrowder

In this episode, Michael Blank breaks down the different paths investors can take to achieve financial freedom—and explains why multifamily real estate is only one of many options. Drawing from his own experience with house flipping and rental properties, Michael explores the pros and cons of short-term rentals, co-living, self-storage, mobile home parks, and even buying businesses. He then dives into the different ways to earn a General Partner role in a syndication, including finding deals, raising capital, funding due diligence, providing guarantees, and managing assets. Most importantly, Michael explains why investors shouldn't become too narrowly focused on one asset class or one role, and how being flexible can open the door to partnerships, opportunities, and ultimately the financial freedom they're looking for.Key TakeawaysThere Isn't Just One Path to Financial FreedomMultifamily is powerful, but investors can also build wealth through self-storage, mobile home parks, short-term rentals, businesses, and other asset classes.Choose an Investment Strategy That Matches Your GoalsFlipping and traditional rentals can generate wealth, but they can also require significant time and effort. Understanding the tradeoffs helps you choose a vehicle that actually supports the lifestyle you want.Don't Make Your Buy Box So Narrow That You Never Buy AnythingBeing open to multiple asset classes can dramatically increase deal flow and may reveal opportunities you hadn't considered.There Are Multiple Ways to Earn GP EquityFinding deals and raising capital are the two primary roles, but funding deposits, covering due diligence, signing on debt, and handling asset management can also contribute significant value to a partnership.You Don't Have to Be Great at EverythingThe strongest partnerships often combine complementary strengths—such as one partner focused on deal flow and another focused on capital raising—rather than relying on one person to do everything.Your First Deal Is About Getting Into the GPMichael encourages investors to focus less on finding the "perfect" opportunity and more on finding a way to contribute meaningful value to a deal and earn a position in the General Partnership.Connect with our Deal Maker PartnersCheck out all Partners hereAttorney - Swafford Law LLC Asset Manager - Cyndee Harding, High Caliber MultifamilyCPA - James Bohan, Stonehan AccountancyMentor - Deal Maker MentoringResourcesConnect with Michael BlankTheFreedomPodcast.com Join the Deal Maker MastermindExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsGet the Syndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session540/

Most of us can name the pattern. The same dynamic with different partners. The same feeling with a mother, a boss, a spouse. What we can't see is why it keeps happening.In front of 110 participants in Costa Rica, Dr. Zach Bush sat down with Raj for a live Love Retrieval. Underneath four decades of stories was a single architecture. The moment he could see it, it dissolved.The body knew firstBefore the first question, a sharp pain arrived in Zach's right shoulder. Stabbing around the clavicle, radiating through his neck. He'd never had it before and hasn't had it since.Then the question came, and he fell into the space. His body knew where they were going before he did.The pain was the doorway.Following the threadRaj moved him back by decades. The first story came from his twenties with startling physical detail: the Colorado air, the wind through his hair, the drive to his girlfriend's house. He wasn't recalling it. He was inside it.He hadn't been able to tell that story in five years. It was compressed too tightly to reach, and it had been disrupting his biology.Then Raj took him to four years old. Two stories surfaced together. Zach realized he wasn't looking at separate memories, but at a complex geometry holding a superstructure of dis-ease in his body.One pattern under everythingThe same felt experience with his mother, through two marriages, into every employee interaction:Nobody sees any value in the love I have to offer.Four very different experiences. One architecture.The pearlWhat made him weep was how small it was.A tiny pearl emitting blue light, exquisite, and the only thing he had. He describes holding it out and saying: This is all I have, and you keep rejecting it.He had offered it to his son, partners, company, grandmother. Every time, the hand went up.The childhood conclusion was simple: What I have is precious to me and worthless to everyone else.Then Raj asked what big Zach would say to four-year-old Zach.The answer was immediate. He knelt beside the boy, put a hand on his back, and said:This is for you.Every story he carried resolved in that sentence.Why the rejection was intelligentThe people who wouldn't take his pearl were the teachers, showing him to keep it. Everyone already holds their own. Everyone has direct access to the source. Nobody needs yours.That's why he's careful with the word trauma. It wasn't a trauma. It was an experience his soul was having, and each one was trying to show him:Don't give it away.What became possibleThe next morning he called his partner and told her he wasn't going to give her his love anymore.Her body relaxed. The whole relationship changed.It wasn't a behavior he practiced or was coached into. It became available when the structure was visible.You can't change a story you're inside of. You can only change one you can see.Also in this conversation• Why fewer than ten compressed emotional memories can shape the dis-ease of an entire life • The crystalline field and the 110 witnesses • Forgiveness that doesn't excuse anyone or release them from responsibility • Why nature stores no human story, and what that means for what we're carrying • The bigger the rejection, the more precious the pearlEXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOURSELFGet started at https://liberate.love/begin?zachThe Love Map is a 45-minute guided conversation from home.

And yet I still feel like the manager of my household, still feel more like his mum than his lover, still feel like nothing gets done unless I remind him.In this episode, I'm unpacking roommate energy, one of the quietest, most common relationship killers, and why it has nothing to do with how good your partner is.In this episode, I cover:Why "he always says yes when I ask" is masking the real issue, the invisible weight of noticing, delegating, reminding, and following up on everythingThe difference between the practical mental load and the emotional load, and why so many high-achieving, self-aware women (therapy, podcasts, attachment work, the lot) still feel stuck in the same dynamicThe "awareness trap": why understanding your patterns isn't the same as changing them, and why insight alone hasn't shifted my relationship, or maybe yoursThe uncomfortable truth that frustration isn't only directed at your partner, it's often directed at yourself, for tolerating what you said you wouldn'tWhy intimacy quietly disappears under roommate energy, and what it actually takes to get the spark, the connection, and the "life partners again" feeling backPractical permission slips: what it can look like to stop asking permission, let him figure it out, and reclaim your time and energy, starting todayWhy this work always starts with your relationship with yourself first, not with fixing him or the relationship directlyFREE LIVE WORKSHOP THIS THURSDAY!Resentful to Radiant: How to Go From Feeling Like Roommates to Feeling Like the Hottest Woman in the Room,Thursday 3rd September, 8PM UK timeI'll be sharing the 3 Cherished Woman Codes I walk every client through to help her put herself first, shift out of roommate energy, deepen connection with her partner, and start feeling cherished again.Sign up here - https://www.khorrocks.com/workshop

Gerard Hines and Chris Duff have spent nearly four decades working alongside each other, building one of Australia's most respected independent agribusinesses from a single rural store into a national business. What does it take to build an agribusiness from a handful of people into a national business, without losing the culture, relationships and local connection that made it successful in the first place?Gerard Hines and Chris Duff are the co-founders of Delta Agribusiness. Their working relationship stretches back almost 40 years, from a small rural business near Young, NSW, through the creation of Delta Agribusiness in 2006 and more than 20 acquisitions, before Delta ultimately became part of Elders.This is a conversation about much more than growth. Gerard and Chris unpack the decisions, people and principles underneath it, from backing themselves during drought, putting their own money on the line and using employee ownership to create alignment, to learning why balance sheet strength, local relationships and great people matter when building a business for the long term.Key insights from the conversation:How Gerard and Chris built a partnership spanning nearly 40 years through trust, respect and shared valuesWhy bringing independent agronomy into agricultural retail fundamentally changed their business modelThe role mentors and early equity opportunities played in shaping Delta's inclusive ownership philosophyWhat IAMA, Wesfarmers and AWB taught them about leadership, governance, systems and financial disciplineWhy Delta was founded during the middle of a severe drought and how backing themselves changed everythingThe importance of maintaining a strong balance sheet so opportunities can be seized during difficult seasonsHow focusing on people, culture and local relationships drove more than 20 successful acquisitions across AustraliaWhy equity ownership became one of Delta's greatest tools for attracting, retaining and aligning great peopleHow staying connected to customers and the frontline has remained critical, even as the business has grown nationallyThe lessons learned from succession planning, bringing in private equity, and ultimately partnering with Elders to secure Delta's next chapterChapters:00:00 Introduction to Gerard Hines and Chris Duff's Journey01:52 Early Days of Agriculture and Agronomy04:00 Founding of Delta Agribusiness and Initial Challenges08:05 The Impact of Industry Changes and Mergers11:57 Lessons Learned from Industry Challenges15:57 Growth Strategies and Private Equity Involvement20:08 Building Company Culture and Leadership25:02 Managing Growth, Succession, and Industry Dynamics31:47 The Decision to Start Delta and Early Risks36:04 Timing and Market Conditions During Launch40:03 Resilience During Droughts and Market Cycles45:07 The Role of Relationships and Trust in Business49:48 Strategic Acquisitions and Private Equity Partnerships54:58 Adapting to Industry and Market Changes59:55 Leadership, Culture, and the Future of DeltaPodcast KeywordsDelta Agribusiness, Gerard Hines, Chris Duff, Australian agribusiness, agronomy Australia, agricultural leadership, agribusiness entrepreneurship, rural business, agriculture careers, agricultural retail, private agronomy, Australian farming, business growth, mergers and acquisitions, employee ownership, business culture, drought resilience, leadership development, succession planning, Elders, regional business, entrepreneurship in agriculture

Ask a question hereWARNING: This episode is intentionally abrasive. It contains strong language, blunt opinions, and an alarming lack of patience for sales pitches disguised as education. If professional disagreement offends you, consider this your continuing education credit in hurt feelings. Not all pool industry education is created equal—and “free” education is rarely free.In this episode, Rudy examines the difference between manufacturer-funded seminars, paid independent instruction, field experience, and research-based education. A company trainer may know the product inside and out, but does that knowledge survive on a real equipment pad? A veteran may have decades of stories, but do those personal experiences have evidence behind them? And when every road in a seminar conveniently leads to the sponsor's product, did you attend a class—or a sales pitch with continuing education credits stapled to it?Rudy also addresses the criticism he received after publicly supporting Pool Brain's hiring of Erik Knight. Respecting someone does not mean agreeing with every position they hold. Professional disagreement is healthy when people show their work, provide sources, remain open to challenges, and understand the limits of their own knowledge.Before investing your money—or four hours of your life and half a turkey sandwich—research the instructor as carefully as you research the class.In This EpisodeWhy supporting an educator does not require treating everything they teach as gospelErik Knight's role in bringing LSI into the everyday pool industry conversationThe difference between disagreement and intellectual dishonestyWhy today's pool professionals may be overwhelmed by too much educationManufacturer education versus paid independent instructionWhy “free” seminars still have a cost and an agendaThe difference between product knowledge and field experienceWhy personal experience is valuable—but not automatically universal truthHow research and field experience should challenge and strengthen one anotherThe warning signs of a sales presentation disguised as educationQuestions to ask before registering for any classWhy expertise in one subject does not qualify someone to teach everythingThe value of an instructor willing to say, “I don't know”The strongest educators understand both the literature and the realities of the field. They identify whether they are presenting scientific evidence, professional judgment, product-specific training, or personal observation—and they never pretend those categories are interchangeable.A famous name only proves the marketing worked. A company title tells you who employs the speaker. A registration fee tells you what the class costs. None of those things tells you whether the instructor deserves your time.Research does.

Armin Winkler (renowned detection dog trainer, international expert) and Cameron Ford break down why current K9 certification standards don't actually validate operational readiness. They discuss why training records matter more than certifications in court, why everyone trains for the test instead of the job, and what real operational readiness actually looks like.What We Cover:Certification is department CYA, not a measure of reliabilityDetection dogs should have OPERATIONAL standards, not minimum standardsTraining records with proper documentation beat certifications in court every timeWhy observers/supervisors signing off on training matters more than a piece of paperRunning multiple dogs in same area: nasal secretions and saliva contaminate everythingThe "cheat code" dogs use when training mimics certificationHow evaluators inadvertently give away test locations through nonverbal communicationWhy environmental soundness testing is critical (traffic, noise, distractions)The difference between ORT (odor recognition test) and operational readinessLottery-based scenario testing instead of rote certification patternsHandler decision-making: the most untested aspect of any certificationWhy SEAL Teams didn't certify but had real resultsTraining for certification vs. training for the street (these are NOT the same)Real-world deployment: rain, night, roadside traffic stopsHide placement strategy: hide like a criminal, not in filing cabinetsThe handler's job: watch the DOG, not the room ("the nose nose")The avalanche dog that found both victims but failed certificationWhy handlers don't see their dogs during searches (looking for hide locations instead)Apprehension dog certification problems (false sits, stress on one-day tests)Free air sniff legality: roadside delays = searches, not free sniffsInternational perspectives: Norway military working dogs, customs operationsThe problem with "master trainer" guru cultureSupervision and training records as alternative to certificationScenario-based training in real conditions (using cooperating officers)Why some agencies (LAPD) use OJT/FTO model instead of certification gatesThe risk of certification standards creating liability instead of protectionArmin draws on decades of experience working detection dogs internationally, including military operations, customs, search and rescue, and avalanche response. He challenges the industry's comfort with certification-based standards and advocates for documentation, supervision, and scenario-based operational testing.Critical Takeaway: "If you're afraid of rewarding the wrong thing during testing, you're not ready to test. You have a bigger problem than that moment."________________________________________

He covers key topics including the difference between opportunistic selling and true brand-building, the importance of hiring top talent, Amazon's continued dominance, the challenges of omnichannel selling, cash conversion cycles, and return on invested capital. Josh also warns against comparing yourself to other brands. He closes with a bonus lesson reminding entrepreneurs that family and relationships ultimately matter more than business success.Bullet Points:Key differences between building a brand and opportunistic selling in e-commerce.Importance of hiring talented individuals for business growth and success.The dominance of Amazon in the e-commerce landscape and strategies for leveraging it.Challenges associated with building an omnichannel brand across various platforms.Significance of having a sustainable business money model, including customer retention strategies.Necessity of active management and adaptability in the fast-paced e-commerce environment.Understanding and optimizing return on invested capital (ROIC) for financial health.Dangers of comparing one's business to others and focusing on personal growth instead.Importance of cash conversion cycle in scaling an e-commerce business effectively.Emphasis on prioritizing family and relationships over business achievements for personal fulfillment.Timestamps:00:00:54 Lesson 1: Brand Building vs. Opportunistic SellingDefining the difference between building a true brand with a customer journey versus being an opportunistic arbitrage seller on Amazon.00:06:43 Lesson 2: The Best ROI is PeopleHiring talented people who are smarter than you provides the greatest return on investment and leverage in your business.00:09:21 Lesson 3: Amazon is Still KingAmazon will continue to dominate e-commerce, so entrepreneurs should lean into its strengths rather than trying to diversify away completely.00:11:42 Lesson 4: The Difficulty of Building an Omnichannel BrandBuilding a successful omnichannel brand is extremely difficult because each platform (Amazon, Shopify, TikTok) requires a completely different skillset.00:14:49 Lesson 5: The Importance of the Money ModelA business model with compounding customers, like subscriptions, is ten times easier to scale than one focused on front-end acquisition.00:18:17 Lesson 6: Active Management and Adaptability are RequiredE-commerce is not a "set it and forget it" business; it requires constant learning, adaptation, and active management to succeed.00:21:13 Lesson 7: Understanding Return on Invested CapitalKnowing your return on invested capital is a critical, yet often overlooked, metric for making smart inventory and business decisions.00:25:02 Lesson 8: Avoid Harmful ComparisonsComparing your brand to others is damaging because you don't know the financial reality or unique circumstances behind their success.00:29:39 Lesson 9: Cash Conversion Cycle is EverythingThe time it takes to get your capital back after investing in inventory is the key constraint to scaling an e-commerce business.00:35:57 Bonus Lesson: Family and Relationships Matter MostThe greatest fulfillment in life comes from family and relationships, not from the money or success achieved in business.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites"Amazon": "00:00:00""Shopify": "00:00:00""TikTok Shop": "00:00:00""FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon)": "00:10:48""AWS (Amazon Web Services)": "00:10:48""Meta (Facebook/Instagram)": "00:12:49"Podcasts and Videos"Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast": "00:00:00""Podcast on Building a Brand": "00:04:48""Podcast on Cash Conversion Cycle": "00:34:39"Summary of Lessons"Opportunistic Selling vs. Building a Brand": "00:00:54""People Over Everything": "00:07:51""Amazon's Dominance": "00:09:49""Omnichannel Challenges": "00:11:42""Compounding Customer Base": "00:15:55""Active Management": "00:19:04""Return on Invested Capital": "00:22:14""Avoiding Comparisons": "00:25:02""Cash Conversion Cycle": "00:29:39"Bonus Lesson"Family and Relationships": "00:36:32"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00 Today, I'm going to share with you the top nine vital lessons that I have learned while selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade.

And the biggest thing that I'm trying to communicate to anyone that is starting in the e-commerce space here, brand new today. So here's lesson number one. Lesson number one is defining the difference between an opportunistic e-commerce opportunity versus actually building a brand. Those are two very, very different things. And honestly, in the number of conferences that I go t...

In this first part of the final episode of this season, all appears to be despair. Sophie is missing, presumed at sea, but in reality in prison thanks to the capricious whims of her stepmother.

They cover self regulation tools like havening, co-regulation practices like the Tantra Cuddle and chakra spooning, the "bubble practice" for clearing a conversation before it starts, and why slow, non-sexual touch is often the missing bridge between conflict and intimacy. They also get into samskaras, the old wounds that get triggered mid-argument, and why naming them out loud can turn a fight into one of the most bonding conversations a couple can have.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSWhy a rupture with your partner isn't the problem, and what actually determines whether it pulls you apart or brings you closerThe self soothing touch technique that calms your nervous system before you say another wordA spooning practice that syncs your breath and your energy faster than any conversation canThe "bubble" you need to build before a hard conversation even startsWhat your partner's words might really be touching from your past, and why naming it changes everythingThe non-sexual touch practice that has to happen before you get anywhere near raptureLINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/rupture-to-repair-reconnect-after-a-fight Sexual Reflexology Online Masterclass - Join us September 2nd at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern for a live masterclass on zoom.

Before you work any harder towards your goals this fall, there's one question worth asking first: are you actually chasing what you want? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something ambitious women rarely stop to examine: the goals they're pursuing that were never really theirs to begin with. She shares why the friction you're feeling might not be a discipline problem at all.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why ambitious women are great at setting goals, but not every goal comes from a genuine desire (some come from expectations, comparison, or simply being the next logical step)Why Diane quit a commitment even though she invested money, made a plan, and had committed, and what Diane's coach asked that changed everythingThe difference between not wanting to do something and not wanting the outcome, and why that distinction matters more than you thinkWhat "should goals" actually sound like and why they feel heavy even when they sound impressiveWhy women often assume they're procrastinating when they might actually be resisting a goal that doesn't belong to themThe connection to Chasing: the spark that says "she stopped listening to me years ago", and what that means for the goals you're quietly ignoringThe client who wanted a promotion, and what doing the Wheel of Life revealed was actually underneath that goalWhy carrying the wrong goals into a busy season just creates more pressure, and why the fall is the perfect time to pause and check inThe reminder that sometimes the goal doesn't need to be dropped. It just needs to be achieved a different way (or made even bigger)The truth about friction: a goal you don't actually want will fight you every step of the way, and no amount of discipline can fix thatShe's Goaled Coaching Mastermind doors are open until September 4th at 11:59 pm Pacific.

Welcome to the first Monday Marketing Tip of the series. If you've ever asked "how do I get residents" or "how do I get good staff," Tiffany's got a reframe for you: both of those questions are really the same question. They're both marketing.In this episode, Tiffany breaks down the four audiences every senior living owner and operator is marketing to, whether they realize it or not: future staff, caregiving families, future residents, and referral sources. She walks through a real story about an executive director who turned holiday gestures into a culture staff didn't want to leave, and gives you a simple four-column exercise to run this week to define exactly why someone should choose you.What you'll learn:Why hiring and occupancy are both marketing problems, not separate departmentsHow to identify your differentiating factor for four distinct audiencesA real example of culture-building that cost almost nothing and meant everythingThe three-part messaging framework: why, execution, and what it means to themThis week's homework: the four-column exercise you can start todayTry this week: Grab a sheet of paper. Four columns: future staff, caregiving families, future residents, referral sources. List three to five reasons someone should choose you in each column, then craft your messaging around why, what you do, and what it means to them.If you want to go deeper on building out your marketing and sales process, Tiffany's Occupancy Growth Village is open for a free seven-day preview, with founder-rate access while it lasts.Take what you need, share what helps, and come back for more.Stop by The Village and say hello: https://www.skool.com/the-occupancy-growth-village-1451/aboutSend questions for Ask Me Anything episodes!Support the showLooking for a mentor to receive more tips on growing occupancy and revenue? Join the Facebook Group for FREE monthly trainings .  Click Here For FB GroupSubscribe to the Start With Occupancy YouTube channel to interact with me on weekly live chats and ask questions in real-time  Click Here For YT PageBookmark the Impact Hub website to your browser for continual updates, new resources and LIVE workshops  available to you.

What if one real estate decision changed the trajectory of an entire company?Back in 2021, the retail industry was navigating supply chain disruptions, soaring construction costs, and an uncertain recovery. Today, this conversation with Five Below Vice President of Real Estate Zach Minteer feels less like a snapshot in time and more like a masterclass in building a resilient retail business.This replay features Chris and Zach discussing one of retail's most remarkable growth stories. Before Five Below became a national retailer with thousands of locations, it was a startup learning hard lessons about growth, operations, and disciplined decision-making. Zach shares how one store in Downingtown, Pennsylvania became the turning point that helped shape the company's future.The conversation explores why Five Below intentionally slowed its expansion after growing too quickly, completely reimagined its store prototype, and took a calculated risk on a larger format that ultimately became the blueprint for the brand's explosive growth. Zach walks through the real estate strategy, landlord negotiations, site selection process, and partnership required to make that first prototype store a reality.It's also fascinating to revisit the industry's perspective on post-pandemic consumer demand, construction costs, supply chain disruptions, leasing momentum, and the rapid acceleration of omnichannel retail. Some challenges have evolved, while others remain just as relevant for retailers, owners, and investors.Beyond the market discussion, Zach shares what it was like joining Five Below as one of the company's earliest employees, helping scale the business from just a few dozen stores to a publicly traded retailer, and why preserving company culture matters as much as opening new locations.More than a time capsule, this conversation is a reminder that while retail continues to evolve, disciplined growth, strong partnerships, and thoughtful real estate decisions never go out of style.What You'll HearWhy Five Below paused its growth to build a stronger foundationThe story behind the prototype store that changed the company's futureLessons on scaling a retailer from startup to public companyHow landlords and retailers partnered through uncertain market conditionsWhy company culture becomes even more important as organizations growTimeless real estate and leadership lessons that still apply todayChapters00:00 – Welcome to Zach MintierChris welcomes the Five Below real estate leader and longtime industry friend.09:20 – Retail's post-pandemic comebackA look back at the surprisingly strong recovery, leasing activity, and consumer demand.18:30 – Construction costs and supply chain challengesWhy retailers and landlords had to collaborate to keep deals moving.27:45 – The story of Downingtown beginsHow one Pennsylvania store became a defining moment for Five Below.31:20 – Pressing pause to rethink growthWhy Five Below halted expansion, redesigned its stores, and changed course.35:30 – Negotiating the impossible dealFinding the right site, convincing leadership, and partnering with the landlord.45:30 – Opening day changes everythingThe launch of the first larger-format Five Below and the customer response.48:45 – From startup to retail powerhouseZach reflects on scaling Five Below while preserving the culture that fueled its success.51:30 – Retail wisdomFavorite retailers, grilling, Target aisles, and Chris' signature rapid-fire qu

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kristine Jensen, a psychotherapist who spent 35+ years helping clients heal shame, while carrying a deep sense of unworthiness herself. After closing her practice and moving to the California coast, she finally became her own client. What she discovered: shame is foundational, not superficial. It's not embarrassment or guilt. It's a survival mechanism rooted in childhood, where you learned to collapse, comply, and hide in order to feel safe. And it shapes everything.They explore:Shame vs. other emotions: the misunderstood feeling that keeps women small, quiet, and disempoweredSelf-soothing internal dialogue: the practice children with healthy self-esteem learn early, and what happens when you have to teach it to yourself as an adultStop telling your old story: why repeatedly reliving trauma reinforces neural pathways, and how moving toward who you're becoming shifts everythingThe work isn't about understanding what happened to you. It's about learning to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to someone you love. Building an internal vocabulary of self-encouragement. Getting tired of your old story so you can create a new one. This is how unworthiness heals.Connect with Kristine:kristine-jensen.comFacebook: facebook.com/kristinebjensenauthorLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kristine-jensen-203a09129/Get her book, Bruised Not Broken: amazon.com/Bruised-Not-Broken-Troubled-Childhood/dp/B0DZ2PZN37?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

"Food has been my hiding place and comfort for so long."That simple sentence captures the heart of Karen's story.For years, she believed weight loss meant restriction, misery, and constantly thinking about food.She'd lost weight before. But she was also, in her words, "cranky, hungry, and angry."Every diet promised big results. But . . . None of them taught her how to deal with the emotional reasons she turned to food in the first place.Everything changed when Karen stopped focusing only on the outside and started doing the work on the inside.In this conversation, she shares how changing her relationship with food—and with herself—led to sustainable weight loss that finally fits her real life.Today she's lost 25 pounds, navigated holidays, birthdays, vacations, and everyday life without regaining the weight, and found a level of freedom she never thought possible.In This Episode . . . Karen's journey from emotional eating to food freedomWhy diets kept failing despite short-term successThe emotional burden behind physical weightFeeling betrayed by the diet industryWhy exercise alone didn't lead to weight lossHow changing her mindset changed everythingThe difference between losing weight and living wellWhy sustainable weight loss shouldn't make you miserableFinding peace with food, your body, and yourselfCorey's Email Newsletter: https://LoseFatList.comANTI-DIET CLASS: https://AntiDietClass.com

Johnny Cox launched a brand new ecommerce brand and hit $70,000 in its first full month on Meta ads, and he validated the whole idea with a $2,000 test before the product physically existed. On top of that, his first brand, Gold Spartan, climbed from $840,000 to $2.3 million in a single year, with $3–4 million on track for this one.In this episode, Josh sits down with MPM client Johnny Cox, founder of Gold Spartan and Cross & Helm, to break down the exact pre-launch playbook he used to build demand, validate the product, and sell it out before making a single unit.Inside this episode:The $2,000 Meta ads test that pulled in around 2,000 leads at under $1 each, and how he knew the product would sell before he ever made oneWhy "seasoning your pixel" is a myth, and what actually makes a cold pixel convert from day oneThe 3-day "Founders Edition" presale that did $12,000 before anything shipped (planned with Alex Hormozi's offer framework)How he used AI to design the pendant, generate photorealistic mockups, and build the entire offer stackThe website "sleeper" most stores skip: pop-ups, A/B tested offers, a slide-out cart, and the free-pendant hook that pushed AOV to around $200The Klaviyo email flows quietly turning non-buyers into repeat customersWhy Cross & Helm sells "a reminder, not jewelry," and how selling identity instead of product changes everythingThe messaging shift that made his second brand easier to scale than his first, and why product choice matters more than most founders admitIf you've been grinding for years and you're stuck at $20K–$30K a month, this is the episode that shows why someone can walk in and hit six figures in 60 days.

What if the missing piece in understanding the human body was discovered by a sculptor?In this episode Joanne explores the extraordinary life and work of Kenneth Snelson, the artist whose remarkable discovery of floating compression transformed the way we understand structure, movement, and the living body.Working from curiosity rather than convention, Snelson built a simple sculpture that revealed a profound truth: living forms are not held together by stacked parts, but by a continuous relationship between tension and compression. His insight became the missing piece that helped shape modern ideas of tensegrity, fascia, and living architecture.You'll discover:Why Kenneth Snelson's X-Piece changed everythingThe difference between floating compression and tensegrityHow living bodies organise themselves differently from buildingsWhy weaving offers a powerful model for understanding fasciaHow the principles of living architecture appear throughout natureWhat Snelson's work reveals about movement, resilience, and human formWhy the patterns of physical forces matter more than isolated partsMore than the story of a sculptor, this is an invitation to see yourself differently. Kenneth Snelson's work reminds us that the human body is not a machine assembled from separate pieces, but a living, self-organising architecture whose intelligence has been quietly present all along.If this way of understanding the body resonates with you, and you'd like to explore it in depth, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley teach these principles through their online programme, Myofascial Magic in Action (MMIA). This in-depth course brings together fascia, movement, anatomy, and Sacred Geometry to help practitioners, movers, and curious learners experience the living body in an entirely new way.

You walk into a room and you know who is upset before anyone opens their mouth. You come home from a store you were only in for forty minutes and you have nothing left. Your friends bring you their pain because you are the one who can hold it, and afterward you are the one lying on the couch.If any of that sounds like your life, this conversation is for you.Lisa Campion has spent a career helping sensitive people stop drowning in what they absorb. In this episode she breaks down empath energy protection into something you can actually practice, starting today, in your car in the parking lot.We talk about what an empath really is, why the world tells sensitive kids something is wrong with them, and how the same wiring that exhausts you is the thing that makes you good at the work you were called to do.Then we go into energy vampires. The predatory ones, the victim vampires, the situational ones any of us can become when life knocks us flat. Lisa also names the part most people skip: a depleted empath who never learned to say no often becomes the biggest drain in the room.What we cover:The difference between feeling empathy and being an empath, and why the distinction changes everythingThe three fundamentals of energy hygiene: grounding, clearing, and shieldingLisa's practice before walking into a big box store, and the version you can do in a restroom in ninety secondsWhy empaths are called into hospice, teaching, nursing, and coaching, and why those fields burn them outEnergy vampires: how they hook you, why they find you, and what to do about itThe resentment inventory, a simple exercise that shows you exactly where your boundaries have failedThe empath trap: saying yes because you cannot face the other person's reactionThe first question to ask when a strong feeling hits out of nowhere: is this mine?Refilling your tank with play, creativity, nature, and source instead of pulling from other peopleAbout Lisa CampionLisa Campion is a psychic, Reiki master, and the best-selling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki, Energy Healing for Empaths, Awakening Your Psychic Abilities, and The Psychic Awakening Journal.

You've heard the myths - swinging watches, losing control, clucking like a chicken on stage. In this episode, I talk about the real story of how a session I booked purely to lose weight accidentally became the start of my entire career. I break down what hypnosis actually is, walk through the thousands of years history behind it and explain why, after seven years in this work, I've decided it's time to start training other people to do it too.In this episode, I talk about:The accidental beginning - the weight-loss session, the Princess Rebecca hypnosis track, and the moment at the Christmas table that changed everythingThe biggest myths about hypnosis - swinging watches, stage shows, losing control, and why none of it is trueSo what actually is hypnosis - the real definition.Why your clients aren't the problem - Milton Erickson's rapport insight and what it means for anyone who feels stuck on repeatWhy NLP and hypnosis have never been separate for me and what each one gives you that the other doesn'tWhy I'm training practitioners in both and why this feels like the natural next step, not a new directionConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeResources mentioned in this episode:The Subconscious Institute - Hypnotherapy Practitioner Certification waitlistMillionaire Hypnosis BundleRelated episodes you may enjoy:

Waiting to “feel ready” is one of the cleanest ways to stay stuck.Angela Shurina sits down with sales coach and author Charles Hsuan to unpack the real reason people don't change, and it has less to do with willpower than with decision mechanics. Charles shares how he left banking, stumbled into sales, and then spent years distilling what makes someone commit. Charles Hsuan never planned to end up in sales — or coaching. He studied financial management, spent years hating a banking job so much he'd wish for his car to break down so he'd have an excuse not to go in. A friend's tip led him into sales almost by accident, and a knack he didn't know he had turned into a 20+ year career, and eventually a very successful business built on one simple idea.In this episode, Charles and Angela dig into what actually drives a "yes" — and what actually makes people change instead of just thinking about it.Charles shares the 3-part formula behind every purchasing decision, the 15-minute rule that makes "1% better" concrete instead of vague, and the story of a Viking king who never knew when a ship was "good enough" to launch.What we cover:Why Charles spent his first 3 years in business "storytelling" instead of selling — and the one conversation that changed everythingThe decision formula to make anyone to finally change instead of thinking about changingThe "1 to 10" urgency question Charles asks every prospect, and why anything under an 8 is a soft no1,440 minutes in a day — how Charles turned "1% improvement" into something doable every day instead of drowning in vague self-development toolsGMO (Good enough to move on) — and the cautionary tale of the ship that sank because nobody knew when to stop buildingGrowing up with ADHD, repeating two grades, and how sport and community rebuilt his confidenceGain vs. gap: why measuring how far you've come beats measuring how far you have to goThe shift from chasing success to chasing significance — and why his book is really a letter to his sonAbout Charles HsuanCharles Hsuan knows what it's like to start with challenges and turn them into growth.Growing up with ADHD, he struggled with school but quickly discovered the power of words. During his studies in Financial Management, he realised that clear communication could influence outcomes — and it shaped his career. Today, through his Story-Selling coaching at Flying Kite, Charles helps industry experts make complicated ideas simple, so that clients instantly understand their value. More than 60% of his clients have doubled their sales, proving that even if you start off struggling, you can learn to excel — and help others see your unique selling point.Connect with Charles:Book a call: https://www.flyingkite.co.za/contactGet The Alphabet Soup of Selling: https://www.flyingkite.co.za/thealphabetsoupofsellingConnect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleshsuanText Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

For years, every time another relationship ended, I asked the same question: what is wrong with me? Why does everyone else get the ring while I get another "it's not you, it's me" text? I figured the answer was out there somewhere, in the right man, the right timing, the right effort. Then I lost my mom, and in the middle of the hardest season of my life, the question changed on its own. Not what's wrong with me, but who am I without her? That's the season that taught me self-love isn't something you do while you wait for the relationship. It IS the relationship.IN THIS EPISODE:Why "what's wrong with me" is the wrong question if you're stuck in your single season and ready to give upThe fear I felt every time I had to tell a man I wanted marriage, and why it pushed good ones away before they had a real chanceHow grief turned my search for love into a search for myself, and why that changed everythingThe 3-part self-love audit: what you're feeding yourself, what you believe about love, and whether you actually see how amazing you areTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Single Season Struggle01:22 Dating Streets Reality02:47 Media Shapes Beliefs04:50 Loss And Self Discovery06:36 Called Up Not Out07:40 Three Part Self Audit13:11 Nothing Wrong With You15:56 Invitation To Wholeness16:54 Final EncouragementGET YOUR JOURNAL PROMPTSFriend, if you've been swirling in your single season way too long for your taste and you're high-key ready to give up, but you know after the next break you'll be right back on the dating scene hoping for different results, grab the Main Character Energy Journal Prompts

The things that make you unique, profound, and magical — you're making them wrong. You're turning them into the reason you can't or shouldn't, instead of using them as leverage and owning the full range of who you are.In this episode I'm talking about the multi-dimensionality that makes you magnetic, why "who are you NOT to?" is the better question, and what happened when I stopped trying to fit myself into a box. This is about proudly bragging on yourself — not humbly, not quietly — and giving other people permission to do the same.Key Takeaways:Why we make our unique gifts wrong instead of using them as leverageThe identity conflict I had early in my career (am I a manifestation coach? A business strategist? A marketing expert?)Why "who are you NOT to?" is the question that changes everythingThe range of support you bring when you stop trying to fit into one categoryWhy proudly bragging (not humbly bragging) is a permission slip for othersThe prompt: what am I making wrong about myself that's actually so fucking right?Scaling to multiple 6-figures?

In today's episode, we have a real, unfiltered conversation about shame as a motivator, why it doesn't work long-term, and how so many of us internalized it from diet culture, old-school coaching, and even shows like The Biggest Loser. We unpack what we're seeing across social media and in our clients - women getting right up to the edge of change… and then bailing on themselves. We discuss the difference between guilt and shame, and why confusing the two can keep you stuck in the same cycles for years.We dive into why shame is a terrible long-term motivator for fat loss and healthy habits, how guilt can actually be useful, and why making a realistic plan - then simply doing it - is one of the most powerful things you can do to build self-trust. We also talk about delegation, boundaries, people-pleasing, “grace” vs. avoidance, and how small 1% changes compound into massive transformation over time.“Guilt says I did something wrong. Shame says I am wrong.”- Amy Rudolph“Two things can be true - this is what I've always done and it feels comfortable… and it's not the thing that's going to serve me.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why shame-based motivation fails long-termThe critical difference between guilt vs. shame in behavior changeHow shame destroys self-trust and locks you into a fixed identityThe “wagon wheel ruts” metaphor - why old habits feel automaticGrace vs. avoiding accountability (and how to tell the difference)Why planning ahead for events (holidays, travel, weekends, Super Bowl parties) changes everythingThe power of making a reasonable plan and actually following throughHow 1% improvements and boring basics compound into real lifestyle changeConnect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

What if the real midlife crisis isn't running out of time — it's living like you have more time than you actually do?In this episode, Laurie gets personal. She shares the story of her dad, who spent decades saying "someday when I retire" — only to die five months after his retirement at 66, having collected exactly five social security checks after a 46-year career. That story cracked everything open for her. And it's the reason so much of the work at the School of Midlife is built around one urgent question: what are you waiting for?This episode isn't about panic. It's about clarity. It's a compassionate but honest look at the habit most high-achieving women share — perpetually deferring the life they actually want — and a practical reframe for how to start living it now, not someday.Laurie also introduces one of her favorite coaching tools, the Best Life Top 100, and explains why it is fundamentally different from a bucket list — and why that distinction matters more than it might seem.What we coverWhy Laurie doesn't believe in the "midlife crisis" — and what she believes is actually happening insteadThe story of her dad: 46 years of work, five months of retirement, and the lesson that changed how she looks at everythingThe "someday when I retire" trap — and why there is always one more reason to waitWhy the conditions will never be perfect — and what happens to women who keep waiting for them to beThe south of France thought experiment: what happens when you finally get to retirement and the life you imagined doesn't feel like yoursThe women who thrive in midlife versus the women who keep living the same year on repeatThe BEST LIFE Top 100: what it is, what it isn't, and why it's not a bucket listThe difference between a list built around doing things before you die — and a list built around how you want to live while you are aliveWhy the Top 100 women actually end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write — and why that's exactly the pointThe quiet dreams versus the big bold ones — and why they belong on the same listThe question that cracks everything open: of the things on your Top 100, how many actually require you to wait?Why the direction matters more than the destination right nowThe challenge: write down one thing this week — and DM Laurie to tell her what it isQuotable moments"The real crisis in midlife isn't buying a sports car or having an affair. It's believing that you have more time than you actually do.""Dad had so many plans for retirement. Someday never came.""He worked 46 years of his life and was rewarded with five months of retirement.""There is always another reason to wait. There is always another something that comes up. Which means you keep deferring your dreams.""Life always has a way of life-ing.""The Top 100 is not about doing things before you die. It's about how you want to live while you are alive.""It's dreaming with intention. It's your living blueprint. It's your permission slip to stop waiting.""The list they end up with looks almost nothing like the list they thought they'd write.""Stop treating your best life like it's something that exists somewhere in the future, waiting for you to earn it or arrive at it or be ready for it.""The women who are the most fulfilled in midlife aren't the ones who have the most things on their list completed. They're the ones who started.""The real midlife crisis isn't running out of time. It's living like you have more time than you actually do."The challenge from this episodePick one thing you would put on your BEST LIFE Top 100 list. Something that would make you feel more alive, more aligned, more you. Write it down.

Fresh off a flight from his college teammate's wedding, voice half gone from cheering — Norense sat down to talk about a topic he doesn't cover often: love, dating, and the negative voice that convinces people they're not worthy of a relationship.This episode is part reflection, part real talk. From watching his old teammate marry his college sweetheart, to processing his own season of singleness in a new city, Norense unpacks the lie so many people quietly believe: that wanting a relationship and not having one yet means something is wrong with them — or worse, that God doesn't want it for them.He breaks down why isolation (online and in real life) is killing genuine connection, why curiosity is the antidote to assumption, and why surrendering your view of singleness to God is different from suppressing your desire for partnership altogether.In this episode:Why the lie "God just wants me to be single" is often fear wearing a spiritual costumeHow social media creates a false sense of connection — and why being an "IRL guy" changes everythingThe difference between independence and the interdependence we were actually created forWhy curiosity — not assumption — is how real relationships and community get builtHow to engage the opposite sex without jumping to emotional conclusions or running from discomfortWhy your singleness has a purpose, and how to stop confusing seasons with permanent sentencesA challenge to surrender your timeline to God's will instead of partnering your fear with the world's narrativeKey Truth: "Will you listen to those outside of you who are worried about the feeling in the now, or will you partner your will with God's will and speak the next over your now?"Key Verse: Romans 10:17 — So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.If this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps more homes and hearts find this message.

#349: In this month's solo episode, I'm kicking off our visibility series with a reframe I've been sitting with for a while — and one that's genuinely changed how I think about what it means to be seen as an ambitious woman.We've been told that visibility is the goal. Get in the room. Be everywhere. Make sure the right people see you. And I used to believe that. But after watching what happens to women who reach the top and just keep pushing more of the same, I started to think we've been chasing the wrong thing.In this episode I'm breaking down the difference between being visible and truly being seen, why they aren't the same thing, and introducing a framework that ambitious woman needs before she hits her biggest milestone. Because every peak has a ceiling, and if you don't have a plan for what comes after, the other side can be a really steep fall.What we're getting into:The real difference between visibility and being seen — and why it changes everythingThe post-peak pivot framework and why you need one before you reach the topWhy building in public has real limits — and what oversharing can cost youHow to stop giving your power away to gatekeepers and reclaim ownership of how you show upThis episode is for you if…You've been measuring your success by how many people are watching instead of whether the right people actually see you.You're chasing visibility but something about it feels hollow or exhausting.You've hit a milestone and aren't sure what the smart next move looks like.You want to stop building for the applause and start building for the long game.You're ready to make one strategic decision about how you show up — one that protects your power and moves you toward what's actually next.Sponsors:Nebula | Go to Nebula: Spiritual Guidance Space https://get.appnebula.co/AaEA/nwheasi3 and get 3 minutes for free to chat with 3 psychics matched to you.Rula | Rula makes it easier to find licensed therapists and psychiatrists who are actually in-network with your insurance.
