What if the thing you're missing is the very thing that could make you unstoppable? We dig into the uncomfortable truth that scarcity can be a strategic advantage and explore how to turn setbacks into a springboard for action, growth, and grit-fueled wins.Pulling from 50 Cent's The 50th Law, we break down why “every negative situation contains the possibility for something positive,” and then put it to work in real life: using a presale to validate demand and fund production, doubling down on what resonates, and showing up at crucial events even when the “Loud Proud American Express” is parked. We also face the heavy lift of legacy and loss, choosing to release the clutter of a father's lifetime of “might-need-it” gear to buy back mental space, cash flow, and momentum. Negative energy is still energy—if you move it.We get personal about the myths of readiness—building a modest home, becoming a parent later than planned, and the hard truth that the “right time” never arrives. Scarcity beats analysis paralysis because it forces decisions. Commitment sharpens focus because stakes create attention. Your energy rises to the level the moment demands. Along the way, a friend's business closure becomes both a gut check and a gratitude check: survival is progress, even when the numbers hurt.You'll leave with practical ways to act under pressure: pre-sell to test and finance, create constraints to spark creativity, trade perfection for momentum, and flip fear into fuel. If you're stuck waiting for the green light, take this as permission to go.

On today's podcast I chatted with the author of the book ‘Every Day I'm Brave', Renee Zukin. Renee talks about her life and career and in particular about the struggles of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder otherwise known as OCD. For some reason she was always fearful in her life, and when this mum of three was unravelling with malnutrition because of the irrational fear of what might be in her food, she realised that she had to seek much needed help. Eventually she was diagnosed of having OCD, and it was only with a deep understanding of this condition did she learn how to recognise and control it and begin to change her life for the better. This avid writer put pen to paper and wrote the book ‘Every Day I'm Brave' to help others who suffer from similar conditions or who are gripped by fear, preventing them from living the full lives they deserve.  Renee says the book is part memoir and in part a practical self help book, and in our conversation she talks about the debilitating effect of “fear” and how you can start to face it, one step at a time.

In this profound podcast episode, Guy chats with Etienne Peirsman, an expert in cranial sacral therapy, about his incredible journey encompassing a near-death experience and spiritual awakening. Etienne remembers battling severe health issues, including a staph infection that left most of his kidneys dead and his heart malfunctioning. Facing imminent death, he sought refuge in nature, leading to an inexplicable yet complete recovery. Etienne shares how this transformative experience guided him to the practice of cranial sacral therapy, a healing approach he now uses to help others align with their life force and heal naturally through touch and no-mind states. This episode delves deep into the power of intuition, non-mindful awareness, and how reconnecting with nature's energy can lead to profound healing and realignment. Join them as they explore the fundamentals of human existence, the impact of energetic fields on physical health, and the unlimited potential of natural healing. About Etienne: Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio during an immersive meditation and bodywork training. From this time Cranio became his life's passion. Etienne is the founder of Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacraal Therapie Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society. He produced the first ever online Cranio class, which emphasizes Stem Cells and their superstar capabilities, the Midline as a source of Clarity, and easy ways to reach a No-Mind State. Etienne's first book "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" was published by Penguin Random House and he is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral."

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with his close friend Taylor Palmer, founder of Rope Swing Moab—the crew behind the massive canyon rope swings that have become a rite of passage for We Are The They. Taylor shares how a desert hobby among buddies turned into a fully permitted operation, why Moab's arches and canyons make these swings possible, and how rigorous safety (redundant systems, load cells, and 10x margins) transforms a terrifying idea into a life-changing experience.Beyond the adrenaline, Taylor explains the deeper side of the jump: intention, breakthrough, and brotherhood. From the hard lessons of earning permits with the BLM, to stories of people leaving addictions and grief on the cliff, to his own journey from welding grind to dream job—and even a quick surf trip with his daughter—this conversation is about courage, community, and building a life that actually fits. 00:00 Introduction01:45 From Desert Hobby to Epic Canyon Swings04:00 Safety, Rigging, and the Road to Becoming Permitted10:00 Facing Fear and Finding Deeper Meaning in the Jump18:00 We Are The They Moments & Personal Breakthroughs26:00 Brotherhood, Feedback, and Growth33:00 Balancing Ambition, Family, and Fulfillment41:00 From Welding Work to Purpose and Freedom49:00 Reflections on Courage, Purpose & Next Adventures50:28 Outro

(Episode #300) There comes a moment in every transformation when control no longer works, and the only thing left to do is trust what is unfolding. In this client session, I sit with a client who is moving through deep shifts in both life and business while learning to feel safe in the uncertainty that comes with change. Together, we explore what it means to release control, listen to intuition, and allow growth to unfold in its own divine timing. Through intuitive guidance and numerology, I share insights about how creativity, leadership, and purpose are evolving within her, and how moments of fear or scarcity often appear as signs that expansion is already underway. This conversation invites you to soften into self-trust, to meet fear with compassion, and to remember that transformation is not something to force. Rather, it's something to allow. If you've been questioning your next step, feeling pressure to have it all figured out, or wondering whether you're moving fast enough, this episode is a reminder that you are exactly where you need to be.   Episode Highlights:  00:00 Balancing Business Ventures and Personal Growth 29:58 Planting and Nurturing Seeds of Change 35:15 Facing Fears and Embracing Change 38:59 Balancing Multiple Ventures 45:22 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Age Discrimination   Take my FREE quiz!

In our journey of faith, we often encounter anxiety and fear that can paralyze us. This message reminds us that anxiety is a choice, not a right. We're called to cast our cares upon God, as outlined in Philippians 4:6. The parable of the sower illustrates how worry can choke our spiritual growth, cutting us off from God's life-giving presence. But there's hope! Through praise, particularly 'tehillah' or spontaneous song, we can invite the Spirit to break through our blockades. The key is to remember our past deliverances, cling to God's word, and recognize His dominion over our lives. Just as David recalled his victory over Goliath in times of distress, we too can draw strength from our past experiences with God. This personal revival leads to a place where others in distress gather around us, seeking the hope we've found in Christ.

What If Anxiety Isn't a ‘Disorder'? | Breaking Free from OCD, Anxiety & StressIn this episode, Matt challenges the traditional view of anxiety as a disorder. Learn why resisting anxiety keeps us stuck, how acceptance transforms fear into growth, and why anxiety may be a universal human experience—not something broken within you.

(Episode #292) Your intuition is not here to erase the human experience. It is here to help you walk through it with more grace, fluidity, and empowerment. In this episode, I sit down with angelic intuitive, evidential medium, and astrologer Taylor Paige to explore what it really means to follow your intuition while staying grounded in your humanity. Taylor shares her journey from fear and disconnection to a life of service, and why choosing love over ego has been the key to her path.
