Season 14, Episode 382 reviews chapters 4–7 of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, showing how autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, imagination, and organized planning transform inner belief into consistent sales results. This episode explains practical steps to program confidence, build authority, paint future outcomes for buyers, and design repeatable sales systems that create certainty and close deals more naturally. Today EP 382 PART 2 of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales Series, we will cover: ✔ Chapter 4: Autosuggestion: How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results  Sales Application (Practical Use) Pre-call priming: Speak your outcome out loud before every call (“I bring clarity and certainty to this conversation.”) Language audit: Eliminate soft phrases (“I think,” “hopefully,” “maybe”) from your sales vocabulary. Repetition builds belief: Read your sales goals twice daily as if already achieved. Emotion matters: Read goals with feeling—belief is emotional, not intellectual. Interrupt negative mindsets: Replace “They won't buy” with “I help people make confident decisions.” Consistency over intensity: Daily repetition beats occasional motivation. Key Insight: Belief is built deliberately, not accidentally. ✔ Chapter 5: Specialized Knowledge: From Information to Authority  5 Sales Application Tips Organize your expertise into simple frameworks buyers can easily follow. Know their world better than they do—pain points, language, pressures, timing. Stop overloading: Say less, but say it with authority. Borrow brilliance: Use mentors, subject experts, and masterminds to extend your knowledge. Teach while you sell: Authority grows when you help buyers understand, not when you impress them. Key Insight: You are not selling information. You are selling guidance. ✔ Chapter 6: Imagination: Where Sales Innovation Is Born 7 Sales Application Tips Paint the “after” picture: Describe life, work, or outcomes post-solution. Use sensory language: Help them see, feel, and experience the result. Rehearse success aloud: Walk the buyer through implementation as if it's already happening. Normalize the decision: Familiarity reduces fear and resistance. Tell transformation stories: Stories activate imagination faster than facts. Slow the moment down: Imagination needs space—don't rush the close. Anchor certainty visually: “Imagine six months from now…” becomes a mental commitment. Key Insight: People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. ✔ Chapter 7: Organized Planning: Putting Desire Into Action 6 Sales Application Tips Create a repeatable sales process you trust and follow consistently. Plan the work—then work the plan, even when results lag. Refine the plan, not the goal when setbacks occur. Prepare for objections before they arise—confidence comes from readiness. Track behaviors, not just outcomes (calls, follow-ups, conversations). Use structure to eliminate emotion-based decisions during the sales cycle. Key Insight: A plan creates certainty. Certainty creates momentum. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 382, we continue with PART 2 of our Review of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i]. Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched our year. Over a 6-part series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that my mentor, Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with our life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—PART 2 of our Study of Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. Each of the 10 chapters explains how to further improve our inner state, and then we walk through how to make this change occur in our outer world, connecting each principal for the salesperson. And just a reminder that you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens   Chapter IV: Autosuggestion The Inner Script Behind Every Sales Call Core Idea: Your subconscious mind is always selling—either for you or against you. Sales Application: Language patterns that leak doubt Why we program confidence before the call Why tone matters more than technique Listener Takeaway: The buyer responds to your energy, not your words. Chapter IV — Autosuggestion How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results Autosuggestion is the bridge between what you think and what you experience. I first learned this concept while working with Bob Proctor in the seminar industry, and it fundamentally changed the way I understand my own personal results—both in life and in sales. At its core, autosuggestion is about creating order in the mind, (first) so your inner script consistently produces your outer results. The visual model that explains this in one simple view is the stickperson diagram, originally developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1934. You'll see this image in the show notes, labeled A, B, and C. Here is what this diagram means. The Three Parts of the Mind IMAGE IDEA: From Dr. Thurman Fleet 1937 with his idea of Concept Therapy. A — Conscious Mind (Thinking Mind) This is the part of your mind you use when you are actively thinking: reading studying learning solving problems consciously making decisions This is where logic lives. B — Non-Conscious Mind (Emotional Mind) This is the most powerful part of the mind—and the most misunderstood. The non-conscious mind: accepts whatever enters it does not judge truth from falsehood operates primarily through repetition and emotion This is why: who you surround yourself with matters what you listen to matters what you repeatedly tell yourself matters Your non-conscious mind becomes the program that runs your behavior. C — Body The body is the instrument of the mind. Your body inherits what your mind expresses: thoughts affect emotions emotions affect physiology physiology affects behavior and results This is why mindset impacts: health energy confidence performance And why our thoughts, feelings and actions ultimately determine our results. They create our conditions, our circumstances and our environment. Why Autosuggestion Matters (Real Life Example) Because I learned this before I had children, I became extremely intentional about what was playing in the background of our home. News, negativity, and fear-based messaging go straight into the non-conscious mind—especially when the mind is in a submissive state, such as: early childhood (when your mind is wide open) right before sleep also while eating when relaxed or emotionally open This state of mind doesn't just affect children. It affects adults too. What we repeatedly hear becomes how we feel—and eventually how we act. This is why autosuggestion is not wishful thinking. It is mental conditioning. Autosuggestion and Alignment (Praxis) When your thoughts, feelings and emotions are aligned, you enter a state called praxis—the point where belief and behavior match. How do we enter this state? By: writing your goals reading them aloud repeating them twice daily you gradually impress belief onto the non-conscious mind. Over time: belief strengthens faith develops behavior shifts automatically Eventually, you don't have to force confidence. It becomes natural. Beyond the Five Senses: The Higher Faculties Before moving into Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge, it's important to introduce one of the most overlooked ideas Napoleon Hill emphasized: It's the 6 higher faculties of the mind. If you revisit Episode #67[ii], I explain how living only through our five senses can limit results. Our five senses are connected to the conscious mind. But beyond them lie six higher faculties, including: imagination intuition perception will reason memory Hill believed intuition and imagination were so powerful that he devoted entire chapters to them. These faculties allow us to: access deeper insight perceive what others miss gain a competitive advantage Intuition: A Sales Superpower If I had to choose three higher faculties most useful in sales for us to develop, they would be: intuition perception will Let's focus on intuition. Intuition is the mental tool that allows you to feel truth: a gut sense an inner knowing a subtle emotional signal It develops with practice—and trust. Putting Intuition Into Action (Sales) When you're presenting to someone, intuition answers questions like: Are they engaged, but holding a question? Do they need more information—or less? Is it time to continue… or time to ask for the decision? Highly intuitive sales professionals can sense: certainty hesitation trust resistance —even without being in the same room with this person. Sales at Its Highest Level This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” When intuition is developed, you know: when certainty has been transferred when the buyer is ready when the close is natural Eventually, as your higher faculties become conditioned through autosuggestion, you access them automatically—without effort or overthinking. Closing Thought — Chapter IV: Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is not about forcing belief. It's about training alignment. When your thoughts, emotions, and actions match: confidence becomes automatic intuition sharpens results follow naturally Your inner script always becomes your outer results. And that's why autosuggestion is not optional. It's foundational. Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Why Authority Always Outsells Enthusiasm Core Idea: Knowledge only becomes power when it's organized and applied. Sales Application: Moving from “presenter” to trusted expert Leading the conversation instead of reacting Why winging it destroys certainty Listener Takeaway: Mastery creates calm authority. Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge Why Expertise—Not Information—Creates Sales Success To further refine what we want to achieve, Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich introduces a critical distinction: not all knowledge is created equally. Napoleon Hill explains that it is specialized knowledge—not general knowledge—that separates you from everyone else and makes you valuable. Knowledge alone, Hill reminds us, is only potential power. “Knowledge (general or specialized) must be organized and intelligently directed, and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” (Chapter V, p. 79, TAGR) In other words: Information does nothing on its own. Application is everything. Why This Matters (Education vs. Application) This becomes clear when we think about formal education. Much of what we learn in school is general knowledge—useful only if we apply it in a specific way. Hill calls this the missing link in education: “The failure of educational institutions is that it fails to teach students HOW TO ORGANIZE AND USE KNOWLEDGE after they acquire it.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) This insight alone explains why so many intelligent people struggle to produce results—especially in sales. They know a lot, but they haven't organized that knowledge into a repeatable system of action. Henry Ford and the Myth of ‘Not Being Educated' Henry Ford is Hill's perfect example. Ford famously said he had a row of buttons on his desk—buttons he could press to access any knowledge he needed. He didn't need to personally possess all information. He needed to know: where to get it who to ask how to apply it Hill wrote: “Any person is educated who knows where to get knowledge when needed, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 81, TAGR) Through his Master Mind, Ford had access to all the specialized knowledge required to become one of the wealthiest men in America. This is a critical lesson for sales professionals: You do not need to know everything. You need to know what matters most, and how to apply it. Why Some Ideas Succeed and Others Don't This principle explains why some books—and businesses—succeed at extraordinary levels while others, though insightful, fall short. Take Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Its impact wasn't just the ideas—it was the framework. Covey gave readers clear steps for how to apply each habit in real life. Contrast that with Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. An incredible book, (I love this book- I own it-and it's on my bookshelf). It's rich in insight—but for many readers, it's difficult to apply without additional guidance or structure. The difference is not wisdom. It's organized, specialized knowledge. “Knowledge is not power until it is organized into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) What ‘Educated' Really Means Hill reminds us that education does not mean memorization or credentials. The word educate comes from the Latin educo, meaning: to draw out to develop from within An educated person is not someone with the most information—but someone who has developed the faculties of their mind to acquire, apply, and direct knowledge effectively. This is where Specialized Knowledge intersects with: imagination intuition perception will —faculties we explored earlier in the series. Chapter V Specialized Knowledge Applied to Sales In sales, Specialized Knowledge looks like this: Knowing your customer's world, not just your product Understanding patterns in their world that match with yours, not scripts that lack meaning Being able to simplify complexity for the buyer Organizing your knowledge into a repeatable sales process This is what creates authority. When something comes naturally to you—but amazes others—you are operating in specialized knowledge. That's where confidence comes from. That's where trust is built. That's where sales success compounds. How to Use Specialized Knowledge to Reach New Heights (Sales Tips) 1. Identify What You Do Naturally Well Ask yourself: What do people come to me for? What feels obvious to me but confusing to others? That's your starting point for specialization. 2. Organize Your Knowledge into a Framework Turn what you know into: a process a checklist a conversation flow Frameworks build confidence—for you and the buyer where you can point to them clearly where they are in the process, showing them how to move to where they want to go. 3. Learn Continuously—but Selectively Don't collect information. Acquire purposeful knowledge aligned to your goal. Ask: Does this help me serve better? Does this help my buyer decide? 4. Use a Master Mind No top performer succeeds alone. Surround yourself with: mentors peers coaches Borrow knowledge, insight, and certainty with every action that you take. 5. Apply, Review, Refine Specialized knowledge compounds only when used. Apply what you learn. Review results. Refine your approach. This is how expertise is built. Final Insight — Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Sales success does not come from knowing more. It comes from knowing what matters, organizing it into action, and applying it consistently. When Specialized Knowledge is combined with Imagination, it creates something powerful: A unique and successful business. And this brings us naturally to the next chapters—where imagination, planning, and decision transform knowledge into results. Chapter VI: Imagination Selling the Future Before the Close                  Core Idea: People buy future identity, not features. Sales Application: Painting the “after” state Emotional buy-in before logical justification Don't quit when you are at “3 Feet from Gold” (Chapter 1, TAGR, Page 5). Listener Takeaway People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. And it is the salesperson's role to activate the buyer's imagination—to help them see themselves on the other side of the decision. This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” Imagination is what creates that certainty. Before a buyer can feel certain, they must first imagine the outcome: life after their problem is solved success after the decision is made themselves operating at a higher level When imagination is engaged, certainty follows. And when certainty is present, the decision becomes natural. Can you see how all of these success principles tie into each other? Like the colors of the rainbow. Chapter VI: Imagination Review of Chapter VI — Our Imagination “Imagination is everything,” according to American author and radio speaker Earl Nightingale, who devoted much of his work to human character development, motivation, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Every great invention is created in two places: first in the mind of the inventor, and then in the physical world when the idea is brought into form. Our lives reflect how effectively we use our imagination. When we reach a plateau of success, it is not effort alone that takes us to the next level—it is imagination. Imagination allows us to see beyond our current circumstances and envision what is possible next. This is why creating a crystal-clear vision is so important. When we write and read our vision twice a day, we intentionally activate our imagination. Writing and reading that vision in detail stimulates recognition centers in the brain. What may initially feel unrealistic or even like a “pipe dream” begins to feel familiar. Over time, the brain accepts it as something possible—something achievable. Eventually, what once felt distant becomes something you can see yourself doing. And then, one day, what you imagined becomes your reality. When you look at the world through this lens, it's remarkable to consider how much has changed in just the last 50 years—and how quickly that pace is accelerating. These new innovations began in someone's mind first. The most recent leap forward is with artificial intelligence, but it follows the same pattern as every major breakthrough before it. Someone first imagined a world where: Amazon would dominate retail while owning almost no physical stores Uber would transform transportation while owning almost no cars Facebook would scale globally while creating no content Airbnb would become a hospitality giant while owning no real estate Netflix would redefine entertainment without being a TV channel Bitcoin would create value without physical coins Each of these began as an idea before evidence—a vision before execution. The same principle applies to our goals, our careers, and our success. Everything we create begins with imagination. When imagination is paired with belief, intention, and action, it becomes a powerful force that shapes not only individual outcomes, but the direction of the world itself.   Closing Thought — Chapter VI Imagination is not fantasy. It is the starting point of all progress. What you are able to imagine clearly today is what you are capable of creating tomorrow. How to Use Imagination for Sales Success Turning Possibility into Certainty 1. Understand the Role of Imagination in Sales Imagination is not fantasy. In sales, imagination is pre-decision certainty. Before a buyer can decide, they must first: see a different future feel themselves in it believe it is attainable Your job as the salesperson is to guide that mental rehearsal. People don't buy products. They buy the future version of themselves (with the certainty that you paint for them). 2. Imagine the Outcome Before the Buyer Does Top sales professionals do not start with features. They start with vision. Before the call, ask yourself: Who does my buyer become after the purchase? What changes in their day-to-day life? What problem is no longer taking up mental space? How you can support and guide them in this process. If you cannot imagine the outcome clearly, your buyer won't either.

In this New Year's solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan kicks off 2026 with a high-energy blueprint for business coaches determined to make this their best year yet. Karl offers sharp insights on building unstoppable momentum, creating impactful routines, mastering the power of execution over ideas, and developing unshakable resilience, along with a deep dive on AI, stock market bubbles, and actionable strategies to future-proof your coaching business. Key Topics Covered New Year, New Execution (Not New Year, New You) Karl dismantles the myth that a successful year just "happens," emphasizing the need for daily discipline and consistency. He shares why meaningful change is a product of relentless execution, not inspiration or wishful thinking. Maximizing Impact and Reach Expanding your influence means helping hundreds of people, not just your client list. Karl challenges coaches to launch podcasts, webinars, and value-packed emails, but stresses starting immediately, rather than waiting for the perfect plan. From Studying to Training Karl distinguishes between passively consuming knowledge (studying) and active skill-building (training), arguing that mastery comes from thousands of purposeful reps, not just time spent learning. Resilience, Mindset & Not Getting Offended He suggests that letting go of being easily offended is a powerful way to regain control, both in personal and business interactions, fostering stronger confidence and leadership. Goal Setting Versus Desire Management Karl breaks down why our goals and actual desires often conflict, providing concrete examples, then showing how new goals demand reshaped desires and crystal-clear "whys." Elite Leadership & Creating Space for Success The best leaders subtract drama, friction, and obstacles to create a fertile ground for others' success. Karl likens this to both sports coaching and business, advocating for an environment that evolves followers into leaders. The Dangers of Satisfaction: Staying Hungry Karl details the "crocodile after a meal" syndrome, how complacency kills momentum, and highlights stories of world-class athletes who maintain edge and discipline even after major wins. Planning & Execution: The Eisenhower and Munger Lessons He revisits classic advice: "The magic is not in the plan, but in the planning," borrowing from both Eisenhower and Charlie Munger's inversion principle to stress learning from failure as much as from chasing success. AI, Stock Markets, and Contrarian Thinking Answering questions about AI stock bubbles, Karl draws parallels with sports betting spreads and offers lessons from expert traders: when everyone thinks the same, the edge is lost. He advocates humility, diversification, dollar-cost averaging, and the importance of relevant financial literacy for coaches and their clients. Notable Quotes "New Year, New You is not a thing. Expecting next year to change without effort is like going to the marina and looking for an airplane to land." "I don't care about your ideas; I care about your execution. Your consistency and your discipline are mission-critical." "Stop getting offended. The good news? You'll stop being controlled." "Great leaders don't create followers, they create other leaders." "You can get lucky and make it. You can't get lucky and keep it." "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." "I want to know where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there." (Charlie Munger) Actionable Takeaways • Start Now: Don't wait for the perfect moment or plan, your first email, podcast, or event is the hardest. Get it out, then iterate. • Measure Reps, Not Time: True mastery comes from consistent, purposeful practice (training), not just learning or clocking hours. • Get Out and Connect: Calendarize face-to-face time and community-building; loneliness erodes long-term success and well-being. • Shift from Busywork to Impact: Educate your list, serve generously in your free content, and only sell after delivering real value. • Build Resilience: Remind yourself that negative feedback or setbacks aren't personal, focus on execution and staying "hungry." • Set Monster Goals, Then Cut Ruthlessly: Aim high, then eliminate 80% of distractions and low-value activities to focus on what really moves the needle. • Use Inversion for Insight: When setting goals (or helping clients set them), ask: "How do I guarantee failure?" Then avoid those pitfalls. • Be Financially Literate for Clients: Understand core investing concepts (diversification, market math, dollar-cost averaging) so you can intelligently field client questions about wealth-building.

Most New Year's resolutions fail by February.   Not because people lack ambition, but because resolutions are emotional promises rather than execution systems.   In this short five-minute episode, I reframe New Year's resolutions into something far more effective for business acquisition success. Affirmations that shape identity. Execution commitments that force action. Goals that become inevitable outcomes. This episode is for serious acquisition-minded entrepreneurs who are done preparing and ready to execute in 2026.   I walk through a simple, disciplined framework used by my most successful mentees and end with a practical exercise you can complete in one sitting.   To Your Success,   Bruce

Most men are chasing social clout when what they really need is social gravity. Clout is borrowed power. It only works as long as people are paying attention and deciding you matter. Gravity is owned power. It comes from discipline, energy, and presence, and it grows whether anyone is watching or not. In this episode, I break down why clout makes you fragile and why gravity is the kind of power you actually want. Show Notes: [02:34]#1 Clout requires attention.  [05:26]#2 Clout is borrowed, while gravity is owned. [09:09]#3 Clout is surface level stuff.  [13:05] Recap Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com 

After the Minneapolis Meltdown The Detroit Lions walked out of Minneapolis with bruises and questions. The Minnesota Vikings exposed protection issues, timing issues, and game-management issues. It was hard to watch. On the latest episode of The Grey Area, the conversation turned fast from pain to purpose. This is the last week of the season. The Bears are next. The focus is whether anything learned in that loss will shape what happens now. Dan Campbell's words mattered. Right after the game he said the Lions “gotta make changes.” No hedging. No deflection. His Monday tone was calmer, but the message stood. Change is coming, and he has to be the agent of it. That echoes his raw line after the NFC title loss two seasons ago about “that might have been our shot.” Seasons in the NFL are fragile. Windows swing fast. What happens next decides whether that old line is a footnote or a warning. There was no comfort in the tape. Execution sagged. Play calling sputtered. The Vikings dictated terms. That adds weight to Week 18. Not for stats. For choices. Campbell's Crossroads: Play, Rest, or Recalibrate Grey wrestles with the final-week question. To play or not to play. The roster is banged up. The rhythm is off. The instinct to chase numbers gives way to a need to reset habits. The staff has to decide who benefits from snaps and who needs a seat. No simple answer, but clarity is required. Campbell already pushed past the usual coach-speak about “on to the next one.” He went straight to overhaul talk, with a game still left. That tells you where his head is. Numbers over narratives took a back seat. This week the lesson is bigger than the box score. The Lions need a cleaner plan and a cleaner identity before Chicago. That is the work. Fix the Offensive Line, Fix the Offense The priority is clear. The offensive line is job one. Find a center. Stack guard depth. Solve tackle. You can do that in one offseason. Other teams have done it with castoffs. If Brad Holmes and Campbell hit on those spots, a lot of what failed in Minnesota vanishes. Protection stabilizes the pass game. The run game breathes. Play calling opens up. Defense needs help too. All three levels. But without the line, you get what you just saw. The blueprint is attainable. The roster core can support quick repair. The front office has to execute. Temperature Check: Fans, Accountability, and the Bears Ahead Fans are angry. They should be. The team has traded on two years of success. Prices went up. Expectations followed. Then came the worst Lions performance in years, by execution and by design. That stings. The enemies list segment landed hard because accountability matters right now. Giving in to lesser angels is easy. The smarter move is to demand concrete fixes. The Detroit Lions still control their response. Beat the Bears with purpose. Then attack the line, the depth, and the defensive holes. Campbell opened the door to change. Now he has to walk through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqWARwBd_E #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minneapolismeltdown #minnesotavikings #protectionissues #game-managementissues #dancampbell #week18 #chicagobears #playorrest #offensivelineoverhaul #findacenter Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph is joined by her close friend and collaborator Callan Faulkner (@callanfaulkner) for a raw, expansive conversation about quantum friendships, environment, and why the people you surround yourself with determine everything — your income, growth speed, confidence, and identity. Steph opens with a passionate reminder that your environment dictates your results. She explains why tolerating relationships that don't want to see you win blocks higher-level friendships, opportunities, and timelines — and why proximity to obsessed, growth-minded people can collapse years of effort into months. Callan shares the story of how their friendship began, tracing it back to a single mastermind room in early 2023 and the seemingly small decisions that led to rapid, compounding growth. Together, they break down how consistent idea-sharing, feedback loops, and mutual risk-taking accelerated both of their businesses — from early-stage offers to seven-figure launches in under two years. Throughout the episode, they explore the concept of collaboration over competition, dismantling scarcity thinking around shared markets, teams, and resources. Steph and Callan highlight how generosity, trust, and radical giving create ecosystems where everyone wins — and why holding back due to past burns or fear only blocks future alignment and abundance. The conversation expands into powerful real-world examples of how cold DMs sparked life-changing relationships, partnerships, speaking opportunities, clients, and even romantic connection. Steph reframes outreach as "invoicing the creator" — giving without attachment to outcome — and explains why the ripple effects are often far bigger than the original ask. This episode is a permission slip to raise your standards, put yourself in uncomfortable rooms, reach out boldly, and stop underestimating how good life and business can actually get. 00:00 Introduction & Why Environment Dictates Everything 03:10 Quantum Friendships vs. Comfortable Relationships 07:45 How Steph and Callan Met (And Why Rooms Matter) 12:40 Early Businesses, Zero Infrastructure, and Fast Feedback Loops 18:30 Collapsing Time Through Shared Testing and Execution 24:55 From First Big Launches to Multi-Million Dollar Seasons 30:40 Collaboration Over Competition (Why Scarcity Isn't Real) 36:20 Radical Giving, Trust, and Invoicing the Creator 42:15 Cold DMs That Changed Everything (Business, Stages, Life) 49:30 When Fear, Burnout, and Old Stories Block Alignment 55:10 Why You Have to Give Everything to Create Real Impact 1:01:20 Finding (or Creating) Your Quantum Room 1:07:45 Final Reflections on Standards, Environment, and Expansion This conversation is really about being intentional — with your environment, your standards, and the rooms you choose to be in.

Super Performance   From Firefighting to Super Performance: How Systems Free You From…   Most owners secretly know the truth: their business only runs well when they're watching. The minute they step away, problems surface, customers get frustrated, and the "superhero" has to swoop back in. In this Richer Soul episode, operations coach and author George Pesansky shares how to escape that trap by building systems that work without you — so your business performs at a high level and your life gets a lot richer in the process.   Key Insights:  Vision, Strategy, and Execution must align because most businesses fail not from lack of effort, but from excelling at only two of the three while true profit and scale happen when all three work together.  The "golden hour" reveals your best systems, and instead of constantly fixing what's broken, real growth comes from identifying when work flows smoothly and replicating those conditions across the day. The Dunning–Kruger Effect explains why leaders get blindsided, as overconfidence on "Mount Stupid" often hides gaps in operations, people, or finance until painful failure forces real learning. Superhero employees are a warning sign, not a strength, because when a business depends on one person to fix everything, it signals fragile systems, hidden waste, and serious key-person risk. Money is stored time, not success, and many leaders stay trapped in the prison of expectations by chasing revenue instead of using profit to reclaim freedom, focus, and a life outside the business. Failing faster accelerates growth, because waiting for certainty keeps owners stuck in broken processes and bad decisions that intentional learning and rapid experimentation would quickly replace.   Money Learning from George: George reframes money as nothing more than "an equivalent for time," a tool meant to buy back space for rest, creativity, and meaningful living—not fuel an endless treadmill of effort. He warns that many owners chase revenue that actually costs them time and increases friction, while true profit comes from building systems that give you your life back. His core message is simple: use money to create freedom, not pressure, and focus on investments that return time, clarity, and peace rather than more stress.   Key Takeaway: High performance isn't about working harder; it's about building systems that turn your best moments into your normal day. When you understand the real root causes of success, stop relying on superheroes, and use money to buy back time, your business stops owning you — and starts serving the life you actually want.   Bio: George Pesansky is a seasoned expert in operational excellence, with a career spanning over three decades in leadership, executive coaching, and performance optimization. His passion lies in empowering individuals and organizations to reach their full potential through clarity, focus, and actionable strategies. George's commitment to improving outcomes and his strategic, action-oriented mindset have made him a sought-after consultant and thought leader in the field. His work continues to inspire and guide those seeking to elevate their performance and achieve superperformance in their personal and professional lives. George is also the founder of Capacity2Care, a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging superperformers to donate their talent, not just their time, to create better outcomes in their communities by driving deliberate improvement in charities.   Links: www.myblendedlearning.com    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deliberateimprovement/   If you're ready to move from firefighting to true super performance in your business — with clear numbers, better systems, and more time for the rest of your life — let's talk.

In this episode, I break down the five ways men rank each other the moment they walk into a room. Men are always sizing each other up, not with words, but through instincts, presence, and results. There is a silent hierarchy everywhere men gather, from the locker room to the boardroom, and it forms fast. Your words don't define your rank, they only amplify what people already feel about you. I explain the five signals every man reads, whether he realizes it or not. Show Notes: [03:44]#1 Physical capability.

Reid Carter concludes the Aileen Wuornos special with the betrayal that sealed her fate. January 1991: Police offered Tyria Moore full immunity to testify against Aileen—she took it immediately. Recorded eleven phone calls manipulating Aileen to confess. January 1992: Trial for Richard Mallory's murder. Jury never heard he was convicted rapist. Guilty verdict in two hours. Six death sentences total. Death row: mental deterioration, paranoid delusions, demanding execution. October 9, 2002: Florida executed her at forty-six. Final words were gibberish about Jesus and Independence Day. America created Aileen Wuornos, then killed her for being broken.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

THE EXECUTION MISTAKE Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero ordered the execution of five high-ranking Romancitizens allied with Catiline without a trial, believing them to be traitors who forfeited citizenship. This decision, made despite Julius Caesar's suggestion of life imprisonment, became a major political error. Cicero's gloating and refusal to grant due process alienated the public and powerful figures, turning him into a target for the populist movement and threatening his future career. NUMBER 4 1889 CICERO, CATILINE

In this episode, I break down how to make yourself gravitational. Being gravitational means you stop chasing people, opportunities, and attention, and you start pulling them toward you. This isn't about what you do, it's about who you become and the energy you carry. When your internal signal is strong, things move toward you without effort. I explain what real gravitation looks like and how to build it the right way. Show Notes: [02:53]#1 Build internal weight.

PREVIEW Guest: Emma Southon. Southon details the execution of Opia, a Vestal Virgin sacrificed in 483 BCE to appease the gods after disastrous omens.

This is part two of my series on the superpower of detachment, so make sure you listen to part one first. In this episode, I explain how detachment helps you play the game strategically instead of emotionally. Detachment doesn't mean you don't care—it means your identity and self-worth aren't tied to the outcome. When you're detached, you keep your energy, control the frame, and stay steady under pressure. That's how you become calm, dangerous, and unshakable in business and in life. Show Notes: [01:04]#1 Detachment keeps you playing the game strategically rather than emotionally. [08:57]#2 Detachment does not mean not caring.  [13:37]#3 Detachment is the ultimate flex.

This is part one of a two-part series on the superpower of detachment. Detachment is not indifference—it's control. I explain why weak men attach themselves to people, outcomes, and validation they don't control, and why that drains their power. Powerful men attach to process and principle, not results, because those are the only things you truly control. In this episode, I break down how detachment helps you stay calm, respected, and effective in business, relationships, and pressure. Show Notes: [03:38]#1 Detachment gives you power in every situation. [13:55]#2 Being emotionally reactive makes you easily controllable. [21:04]#3 Detachment protects you from manipulation.

This is part three and the conclusion of my series on what makes a man low value. In this episode, I talk about over-explaining yourself, lacking presence, and chasing things you should be attracting. Low value men justify, disappear in rooms, and run after people and opportunities. High value men lead, are felt even when they're not there, and let the right things come toward them. I break down why presence and energy matter more than words. Show Notes: [01:17]#7 Over explaining yourself.  [06:22]#8 Absence of presence.  [11:05]#9 You chase what you should be attracted to.

In this special Christmas-themed episode of the Leadership Blueprints podcast, host BJ Kraemer draws on some of his favorite classic Christmas films to explore the art and science of leading oneself and others. Ebenezer Scrooge sparks a conversation around awareness and change, while Kevin McAllister offers a surprising lens on ownership and responsibility. A nod to It's a Wonderful Life serves as a quiet reminder of the power of relationships. The episode also explores what it means to help others grow into the roles they're called to step into, and concludes with Clark Griswold as a timely reflection on how unchecked vision can impact those around us. Join BJ for another episode filled with valuable leadership insights! Happy Holidays! Key Points From This Episode:The leadership lesson from Ebenezer Scrooge: transformation after self-awareness.How Kevin McAllister shows that ownership drives creativity.It's a Wonderful Life: “No man is a failure who has friends.”Leadership is about cultivating potential by giving people the opportunity to grow into who the role requires them to become.The lesson from Clark Griswald: vision without awareness can exhaust everyone around you. Quotes:“Transformation is possible, but like I've talked about before, only after self-awareness.” — BJ Kraemer “When people truly own outcomes, they rise faster than we expect.” — BJ Kraemer “[George Bailey] teaches us that the most meaningful impact is often invisible when you're living through it.” — BJ Kraemer “Good intentions don't excuse poor awareness.” — BJ Kraemer “I talk a lot about the first step in leadership is leading yourself first, and the first step in leading yourself first is getting clear on who you are, who you aren't, what your strengths are, what they're not. And I think the lesson we can all take away from Scrooge McDuck is results without humanity create financial success, but no relationship success and no legacy.” — BJ Kraemer Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Mickey's Christmas Carol (Disney+)A Christmas CarolHome AloneHome Alone 2It's a Wonderful Life (Apple TV)The Santa Clause (Disney+)National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Netflix)Leadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ records live—driving, thinking, and telling the truth that most leaders avoid.Organizations are moving faster than ever. AI, constant output pressure, endless meetings, board demands, and nonstop execution have created a dangerous gap: almost no one is actually thinking strategically anymore.Not the middle managers.Not individual contributors.And, surprisingly, not always the C-suite either.AJ breaks down why modern companies are operationally busy but strategically fragile—and why relying on the CEO, CFO, or COO alone to “own strategy” is no longer enough. When everyone is reacting, firefighting, and chasing velocity, alignment quietly collapses.His answer? A bold one:By 2026, every serious organization should have a dedicated Strategy Office—a cross-functional team embedded across product, sales, HR, marketing, and partnerships. Not to create decks. Not to chase buzzwords. But to think, unblock, pressure-test, bridge gaps, and ensure the business is actually moving in the right direction—not just moving fast.This episode is part reflection, part call to action, and part warning: Execution without strategy is just motion.If you're a leader feeling the speed, the fatigue, and the misalignment—this one's for you.

This is part two of my series on what makes a man low value. In this episode, I break down how comfort, lack of structure, and avoiding conflict keep men stuck. Low value men choose being liked over getting things done, and that choice shows up in their habits, their standards, and the people they keep around. High value men do hard things, follow systems, and say what needs to be said, even when it costs them approval. I explain why these signals matter and how people can feel your value the moment you walk into a room. Show Notes: [01:17]#4 Letting comfort run your show. [12:13]#5 No systems.

In this episode, I break down what makes a man low value and why this is a warning, not an insult. There are more ways to fail than to succeed, and most men end up low value simply by drifting and not being intentional. This isn't about money, looks, or followers—it's about your energy, discipline, and standards. Low value men chase, overexplain, and move without direction, often without even realizing it. I'm laying this out so you can check yourself, build awareness, and make sure you don't slide into habits that hold you back. Show Notes: [07:27]#1 Seeking validation instead of giving direction. [13:06]#2 Low value men do not enforce boundaries on themselves nor on others.  [22:17]#3 Low value Men spend their energy explaining why they are not winning.

Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Post Game Show: A December Fight at Ford Field Everything on the Line for the Lions in Week 16 The Detroit Lions entered Week 16 of the NFL season with no margin for error, hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field in a game that carried unmistakable playoff urgency. December football rarely offers subtlety, and this match-up fit the bill. The Lions needed a complete performance, while the Steelers arrived with their own postseason hopes hinging on discipline, defense, and physical execution. On our post game show, the focus turns to how Detroit handled the moment. Did the Lions play free and aggressive, or did the weight of the situation show early? Ford Field has been a fortress at times this season, and the atmosphere reflected what was at stake. We will break down how the Lions responded to that energy and whether it translated into clean execution on the field. One of the defining storylines heading into the game was how Detroit would deal with Pittsburgh's identity. The Steelers are built around defense, pressure, and forcing mistakes. That puts immediate emphasis on Jared Goff's decision making, the offensive line's communication, and Detroit's ability to stay ahead of the chains. Whether the Lions leaned on the run game or trusted the passing attack to move the ball will be a central part of the discussion. Key Talking Points from Lions vs Steelers Tonight's Detroit Lions post game show will cover the most important themes from this late season clash: Quarterback composure: Goff has been at his best when playing within rhythm and avoiding turnovers. We will evaluate how he handled Pittsburgh's pressure packages and disguised coverages. Defensive toughness: The Steelers rarely beat themselves. Did Detroit's defense create negative plays, win on early downs, and force Pittsburgh into uncomfortable situations? Physicality and field position: Games like this often come down to hidden yards. We will examine special teams, punt coverage, and how both teams managed field position. Coaching decisions under pressure: Late season games test a staff's nerve. We will discuss fourth down choices, clock management, and red zone strategy. Execution in critical moments: Third downs, short yardage, and turnovers tend to decide games with playoff implications. Detroit's performance in these moments will be a major focus. Listener Calls and Detroit Lions Reaction The heart of the post game show is always the fans, and tonight will be no different. We will open the phone lines and take listener calls to capture the full Detroit Lions reaction to a game that could define the season. Were fans encouraged by the Lions' resolve? Did this performance reflect a team ready for January football, or were there missed opportunities that loom large? December games against teams like Pittsburgh reveal who you are. They expose flaws, reward toughness, and leave no room for excuses. Regardless of the final score, this match-up provides a clear snapshot of where the Lions stand as the playoff picture tightens. Join us for the Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Post Game Show as we break down every critical moment, analyze what it means for the Lions' postseason push, and hear directly from the fans who live every snap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBL6E5p4akI Get yourself a Classic Detroit t-shirt here!

Are legacy intermodal systems holding your operation back, and how long can the industry keep duct-taping technology together before it costs real market share? In today's episode, Alyssa Norcross from Revenova breaks down why intermodal freight still leans on AS/400 legacy systems that work but don't integrate, forcing teams to juggle multiple platforms, spreadsheets, and manual processes just to move freight.  We dig into how fragmented tools create inefficiencies, data risks, and slow response times, why AI-driven automation inside a unified TMS is the real path forward for intermodal logistics, how Revenova is embedding automation to streamline tendering, rate management, load building, and visibility, while railroads step up real-time shipment tracking through APIs to meet rising shipper expectations shaped by the Amazon effect, the multi-modal cost comparison tools that will let shippers transparently weigh intermodal, truckload, and LTL options, and why operational execution, visibility, and reliability are now just as important as price in today's freight market!  

Unconscious bias is part of being human, and pretending it doesn't exist is a waste of time. You can't train it out of people, and you can't erase it from yourself—it's how we recognize patterns and survive. The real mistake is trying to eliminate bias instead of understanding it. In this episode, I explain why bias is hardwired and how you can flip it to work for you instead of letting it work against you. Show Notes: [05:25]#1 Bias is not evil, it's efficiency.  [10:47]#2 All human beings make instant judgments.  [18:39]#3 Your own biases may expose your weaknesses.  [21:02] Recap Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com 

In this episode, I talk about the idea of the avoidance list and why success is more about what you don't do than what you do. This comes from a story in the book The Third Door and a strategy often linked to Warren Buffett, even though he didn't actually create it. The idea is simple: pick your top five goals and avoid the other twenty, not because they're bad, but because they distract you. Focus is limited, and trying to do everything weakens your results. I will explain why a “not-to-do” list might be more powerful than any to-do list. Show Notes: [03:53]#1 Most people fail through too much addition, not through subtraction.  [10:25]#2 True power is in restraint, not commitment.  [15:19]#3 Discipline creates presence.  [18:04] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1193: Focus: The Force Multiplier Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com 

Most entrepreneurs make things harder than they need to be. They chase new tools, new hacks, and new ideas, thinking that will fix their inconsistency. It won't. Real success comes from doing the same boring habits every day while everyone else is chasing shiny information.  In this episode, I explain why moving the same way every day matters more than moving fast, and how a steady rhythm creates real results. Show Notes: [03:00]#1 Do things at the same time every time. [12:23]#2 Schedule your day.  [16:25]#3 Repetition is reputation.

People talk about humility like it's a virtue, but most of what we call “humility” is really a costume. I grew up in a world where we're told to dim our light so others don't feel threatened, but that's not real humility—that's fear. Real humility is control, not pretending to be small. Fake humility is a performance people use to look safe or agreeable, and it keeps them from stepping into real power.  In this episode, I break down the difference and explain why shrinking yourself will never get you the results you want. Show Notes: [03:52]#1 True humility has been hijacked.  [17:31]#2 True humility is a form of control, not a form of denial.  [25:30]#3 Power is not interested in pretending.

The state of Georgia has just suspended the execution of 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys scheduled for this Wednesday. Because two members of its pardons and parole board have alleged conflicts of interest, the clemency hearing scheduled for today has now been “postponed until further notice.” Humphreys had already made headlines earlier for his exorbitant and jaw dropping last meal request which you have to hear to believe. Finally, as Florida continues its record setting year of executions, its last lethal injection is set for Thursday, just as new research shows public opposition for the death penalty is at its highest level in nearly 50 years.
