Taking the Red Pill of Personal FinanceHave you ever felt like you're playing a game where the rules are hidden, the goalposts are moving, and the referee is an algorithm you can't talk to? Welcome to the world of modern lending. Many investors think a "good" FICO score is the golden ticket to funding, but the reality is much more complex. On this episode of The Note Closers Show, we are joined by the "Morpheus" of the credit world, Merrill Chandler from GetFundable.com. Merrill has spent over 30 years deconstructing the "Black Box" of banking to reveal that what we've been told about credit repair is often a lie. If you're tired of hitting a ceiling with your capital and want to understand how the world's largest banks actually "grade" your financial profile, this episode is your red pill moment.The Blueprint for Absolute FundabilityThe Fallacy of Credit Repair vs. Fundability: Most people focus on credit repair—deleting negative items to boost a three-digit score. However, Merrill explains that banks don't just look at your score; they look at "fundability." You can have an 800 score and still be denied because your "internal behavioral data" suggests you are a high-risk borrower. Fundability is about aligning your financial behavior with the specific algorithms (like FICO 10T and FICO 40) that banks use to automate approvals.Cracking the "Black Box" of Tier 1 Banks: Large institutions like Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America use sophisticated Artificial Intelligence to evaluate borrowers. This AI analyzes up to 40 different data points—not just your payment history. These points include how often you use your credit, the types of accounts you hold, and even how your name and address appear across various databases. If your data is "noisy" or inconsistent, the algorithm flags you as a risk, regardless of your score.The Shift to Trended Data (FICO 10T): We are currently seeing a massive shift in the lending industry toward "Trended Data." While older models took a snapshot of your credit at a single moment, the new FICO 10T model looks back at 24 to 30 months of historical behavior. It tracks whether you are "transacting" (paying off balances monthly) or "revolving" (carrying debt). Banks are now prioritizing "transactors" and punishing those who carry balances, even if they make their payments on time.Optimizing Your "Financial Digital Silhouette": Every time you interact with a bank, you leave a digital footprint. To get the massive credit lines needed for real estate investing, you must curate this silhouette. This involves cleaning up your "LexusNexus" and "SageStream" reports, ensuring your identity is synchronized across all bureaus, and strategically managing your credit utilization. Merrill emphasizes that "optimizing" your profile is about speaking the bank's language so the computer says "Yes" before a human even looks at the application.Strategic Mapping for 7-Figure Capacity: Building a million-dollar credit capacity isn't an overnight process; it's a strategic climb. Merrill discusses the importance of having a "Credit Bible"—a structured path that moves you from personal credit strength into high-limit business lines. By following a proven sequence of "borrower behaviors," investors can move from being "credit-seeking" (which scares banks) to "fundable" (which makes banks compete for your business).Stop Guessing, Start Getting FundedThe days of "faking it until you make it" with a high credit score are over. As Merrill shared today, the money is out there—trillions of dollars are waiting for borrowers who know how to present themselves correctly to the algorithms. Don't let a "noisy" profile or a misunderstanding of trended data stand between you and your next big deal. Head over to Merrill360.com to take the first step toward total financial transparency. It's time to stop being a "borrower" and start being "fundable." Watch the Original Video HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!

What you'll learn in this episode: How to turn rental properties into lasting generational wealth Why being “successfully unemployed” starts with changing your mindset The truth about passive income (and how to actually achieve it) How to find the right markets and the right teams Creative ways to fund your deals — from private money to credit lines Why treating real estate like a business is the real key to freedom

Brandon Cobb thought he had it figured out. Dream job in medical device sales. Stability. Income. A clear path forward. Then one meeting at Starbucks changed everything. He got fired on the spot and realized something most people never want to admit. You can do everything right and still have zero control.   That moment forced a shift. Not just into real estate, but into a completely different way of thinking.   In this episode, we break down how Brandon went from flipping houses and chasing deals to structuring large scale land development projects with national builders. The kind of deals most investors never even consider.   We get into why doing more deals is not the answer, why margins shrink when strategies get crowded, and how experienced investors position themselves for bigger opportunities with less competition.   If you are already in real estate and want to scale, this is the conversation that changes how you think about the game.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan discuss the latest on the Cavaliers. The regular season is winding down, and the Cavs appear headed for the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The guys debate what exactly should be the expectations in the postseason. Is a conference finals appearance enough? Coach Kenny Atkinson ripped his team's defensive effort after a narrow win over the Magic -- is he feeling pressure? All that and more!

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19–20 NLT) A Christian father who was terminally ill called his three sons to his bedside. To his two sons who were believers, he said, “Goodbye, my sons. I will see you in the morning.” Turning to his third son, he simply and sadly said, “Goodbye, my son.” The young man was deeply disturbed. He said, “Father, why is it you said to my brothers, ‘I will see you in the morning,’ and you only said to me, ‘Goodbye, my son’? Why didn’t you say you would see me in the morning, too?” His father replied, “Son, you have never asked Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. And that is what breaks my heart the most. I will never see you again.” That son began to ask his father how he could be saved, how he could see his father again. His father told him how. The son prayed and received Christ into his life. Then his father said, “Now our family will be together in eternity.” That can happen for everyone who has put their faith in Christ. It will be a great reunion one day in the future. But what does the unbeliever have to look forward to? Judgment after death and a miserable, empty life on earth. There might be some fun in sin—for a while. But payday comes. The hard truth about eternal life is found in the apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death” (NLT). That’s why believers are called to share the gospel far and wide, as the Christian father in the story did with his son. In what’s known as the Great Commission, Jesus gave His followers these instructions: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20 NLT). Eternal life is the hope believers cling to when the things of this life start to overwhelm us. There’s a reason that John 3:16 is perhaps the best-known passage in all of Scripture. Jesus’ words to Nicodemus still resonate powerfully today: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (NLT). If you do not commit your life to Christ, ultimately you will look back on your life and realize that you wasted it. But don’t wait until the end of your life to figure that out. Figure it out now.

HEADLESS HUMANS in tanks for experiments and transplant organs: this is our future if a new biotech startup is successful.  R3 Bio claims this is an ethical alternative to animal testing and could provide a source of needed organs for transplants. We see it as a horrific degradation of what it means to be human—bearing the image of God, His moral agents on Earth.  Further, it's driven by the transhumanist goal of achieving immortality without God, which means without having to change how we think or act towards our fellow humans.  Frankly, that sounds like Hell on Earth.  We also discuss Melania Trump's gathering of first spouses from around the world, including Bridget, Macron of France, Sarah Netanyahu of Israel, and Olena Zelenska of Ukraine. The featured speaker was a cyborg named Figure 3, an AI powered robot built by the company we mentioned last week, Figure. There are prophetic implications to this development, as Sharon pointed out the connection between this story, the story last week about experiments with human “brainoids,” and the prophecy of Daniel chapter 2 about the mingling of iron with clay.  In short, we are moving into a new future, that most of us aren't aware of, much less prepared for. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

Producer Andrew Parrella Claims His Own Gothic WorldIn this follow-up session, Jennie Nash checks in with producer-turned-novelist Andrew Parrella, who returns to the “hot seat” with a major breakthrough. After a week of “staring at the screen and walking the dog,” Andrew realizes he has been “writing small” to keep the project manageable. By leaning too heavily on the existing framework of Bram Stoker's Dracula, he was inadvertently stifling his own creativity. He decides to “embrace the big,” shifting the story from a cautious tribute into a standalone Historical Gothic Mystery. This evolution includes a high-stakes world-building choice: making vampires a known, though unaccepted, part of the public consciousness in 1920s London, adding a layer of modern resonance and social tension to the atmosphere of dread.The duo also digs into the “glaring holes” that surface when a writer decides to expand their narrative scope. Andrew identifies a need for deeper research into the Suffragette movement to ensure his protagonist's familial history feels integrated rather than “tacked on.” By connecting the mystery of the protagonist's mother to historical activism, Andrew finds a way to ground the supernatural elements in a more 3D reality. As they grapple with the structural puzzle of Point of View—weighing the benefits of including voices from the past versus staying close to the present—Jennie challenges Andrew to choose the perspective that best amplifies the protagonist's transformation and the secrets hidden within a mysterious Gladstone bag.Visit Andrew on the web: https://www.andrewparrella.comListen to the first session with Andrew:#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

This is a hot seat coaching episode where we work through a real writing challenge in real time.Today I'm talking again with Andrew Perella, the hashtag am writing podcast producer who stepped out from behind the mic to work on his novel. He completed our winter blueprint challenge and is now working on blueprint revisions, which is such an important stage in the writing process, digging into what you really want the book to be, what you really wanna say.And Andrew's told me he just had a revelation, which I'm dying to hear about. But um, before we get to that. Um, when we're talking here today, the first episode where we did hot seat coaching launched out into the world, and I wanted to ask how [00:01:00] you're feeling about that.Andrew: Um, it feels a little weird. Um, you know, I'm used to being behind the mic.I'm used to, um, helping obviously produce a lot of audio over the years and, and, and helped get a lot of podcast episodes out into the world. It's strange to. Kind of be featured in a podcast episode. Um, that is a new experience for me. Um, uh, you know, when we recorded it, it was just you and I talking, but now it's like out in the world and, uh, and, and people can listen, um, and, uh, and, and, and judge, um, which of course they're welcome to do.Uh, but uh, but yeah, so it's a little, it's a little weird, but it's fun. It's fun.Jennie: Yeah, that's, that's you, you hit the nail on the head, the, the judge part. As soon as you put anything into the world, you put yourself up for judgment. And what we're doing here in these sessions is, is really, in some ways so intimate because we're getting to watch [00:02:00] somebody's thinking as it's unfolding, as it's progressing before they know what they want it to be.And we're watching someone hopefully, um. You know, hone in on their, their voice, their story, their point, their whole thing. And it's, um, it's really special to get to see it unfold, I think. Um, so thank you for. Putting yourself out there.Andrew: I'm, I'm happy to do it. This is, this has been a really value, this is a really valuable exercise for me personally.So, uh, happy to, happy to share that with folks.Jennie: So what happened last time was you left with some, uh, homework, which you did. Mm-hmm. And what was interesting from my point of view was when I. Looked at what you did. My first thought was, well, he didn't do very much. And I, I sort of thought, uh, okay, that's funny.Andrew: I kind of felt the same way.Jennie: Oh, that's really funny. But then when I read it, it was like, oh no, you worked out a [00:03:00] lot of things that we had been circling around. And primarily the, um, I would say the. Personal familial history of abriana and her connection to this famous vampire hunter. So that all got really sorted.Um, but the, the one that really made me chuckle was you have this beautiful description of your ideal reader in the blueprint, and it, it's probably. I don't know, it might be 500 words. It's, it's like, you know, this ideal reader really well, and I can tell that you actually really love this ideal reader and want to I do, I do.Yeah. It's really sort of beautiful, um, the specificity of, of who she is, but you added like three lines to the end of that. That was part of what you, what you did. And, um, [00:04:00] one of those lines was. In response to something we talked about, which was, does your ideal reader, are they familiar with Dracula? And you said, now, no.So that was really interesting to me. Do you wanna talk a little bit how you landed on that? Because I, I do think it might impact the genre.Andrew: Uh, yeah, I agree. And I, I saw your note about the genre too, which, which, um, I'm, I'd be eager to talk more about, but yeah, I mean, as, as I was thinking about this, I say I feel like I didn't do much.I spend a lot of time staring at the screen, uh, over the last couple of weeks and like. Walking my dog and thinking about these questions that you were posing. I feel like I spent hours doing it and like it, like, and, and like the words on the page since we last spoke, don't, I don't know, have reflect like the number of, the number of new words on the page.Don't reflect that. But I spent, I spent a lot of time thinking about, about that question and [00:05:00] some of the other questions that, that you posed. And I think for a long time I wanted to presume a familiarity with Stoker's Dracula, um, because it made my job easier. And, and so I think I, I kind of had to come to terms with the fact that though it is a popular book, not everybody has read it.And while many people, because it's a popular book, many people have some. Passing knowledge about the structure, about the plot, about some of the characters maybe, but they won't know. They won't know the level of detail that I do having read it many times. And so I need to create, I need to expand the world.I need to create my own world. I can't just live in Stoker's world. I need to create my own world. These characters, while they have the same names as the characters in in Stoker's novel. They are, they become different characters in my world, the [00:06:00] world I'm creating. And so I need to, I need to kind of accept that.And so it doesn't matter if you've read Dracula before you pick up this book, and these, these characters have a rich backstory that I will allude to. And if you've read Dracula, you might pick up on some extra, some extra bits, but this is still going to be a cohesive, discreet novel that you'll be able to enjoy.Regardless of, uh, whether you've read the, the, the original or not.Jennie: Okay. That's huge. Is that the revelation or is there something else?Andrew: No, that is notJennie: theAndrew: revelation.Jennie: Okay. So we'll get, wow, okay. We'll get to that in a minute. But that, the reason I said it impacts the genre is that you said your ideal right reader wouldn't describe herself as a horror fan and that her.Most, she's, she loves this, um, period of time. She loves London. Um, you know, there's a lot of things that [00:07:00] connect her to this story, but not horror. And so my thought was, should, should it still be classified as horror? Uh, there are lots of other ways to classify it, you know, historic, um, a historic thriller, a historic mystery.You know, gothic could be in there, but what, what are your thoughts at this point about that?Andrew: Yeah, and I, I, I think we've, we've, we've used the term horror when we talk about it, but when I, when I, when I did the blueprint challenge, I think I did kind of identify more like historical gothic as the genre.And, and, and as, as you say in one of your notes, this is feeling more like a mystery, a murder mystery than it is horror. Like, I feel like the horror genre leans into the gore, and I don't know that that's where. My book lives, I think, I think the gothic kind of sense of imminent doom, pervading, you know, every page is definitely something I wanna lead into.So, so I think gothic is, is [00:08:00] relevant, historic, gothic, and ultimately it is a murder mystery. And so who, and so, and so solving that mystery is the protagonist's kind of ultimate mission.Jennie: Right. So the, the sort of moodiness of the world and, and something, yeah. The dread, uh, that's out there. Right. Um, which fits really nicely, uh, with what you're doing.Okay. So what's the revelation?Andrew: So it came from the question that you asked me last or two weeks ago now. Um, and one that I've been asking myself, which is. Are vampires part of the public consciousness in this world that I'm building. And for a long time I've been saying, no, no, no, no. They're not part, they're still, they're still a secret society.They're still a secret community. They're still a secret species. They're, they're, and nobody knows about them. And, and anyone who talks about vampires is seen as being a [00:09:00] lunatic. Um. And I was realizing, and, and as you probably saw in the, in, in the, in the document, I was, I, I was trying to explore both, both possibilities.There's a possibility where, where the public understands vampire exists and then there's a, a, a possibility where that it doesn't, where they don't understand they exist. And I've been leaning towards maintaining the secrecy of vampires among the public. And I think the reason I've been doing that, it ties back, ties into what we were just talking about in that I was, I saw that creating like a whole vampire society that, uh, that human, that human society has been interacting with for a number of years, it felt like a distraction from the primary.From the primary plot, but I've been struggling because it does offer some really nice motivation for my murderer.Jennie: Yeah. [00:10:00]Andrew: SoJennie: you've been flip flopping back and forth in your mind.Andrew: I've been flip flopping back and forth in my mind until last night. And I was, I was reading, I was reading some of your comments, uh, on my document and I was like, why am I stuck on this?Why am I hung up on this? Why can't I make a decision about this? Um, and it's because. I was writing small, I was trying to keep it, you know, this is something I could manage. Like I was trying to keep it, I was trying to keep it like manageable. I was trying to keep it, I, I don't know. I was trying to give my, I was trying to like pen myself in, I guess, and lean.More heavily on the work of Stoker. And it's like he's already done his work. He's already So the, so the, the, the, the revelation I said he's already done his work. He's already created his book. Mine is a different book. Mine is, is, uh, a different [00:11:00] world and like. As we have been saying, I need to write big, so I need to embrace the big.And so that gonna, that's gonna mean creating more characters. That's going to mean creating, uh, more exposition. That's going to mean creating, um, more interactions between these communities. Creating a lot more than I had initially been thinking about. I feel like my original idea was a nice idea. You know, I'm, and I'm using air quotes with a nice idea, but like, I feel like this is now.Becoming a novel by, by choosing to, by choosing to go big here.Jennie: Well, you're, you make me like actually wanna cry because of happiness, because you've obviously been listening to the right. Big episodes and Yes. That whole um, thing and winter blueprint, um, listening to me hammer away at. Uh, [00:12:00] that this is all we have.This is all a writer has, is what is in their heart and mind mm-hmm. And comes from their experiences and interests. And it is so crazy how we shy away from that. We tamp it down, we hide from it, all the things because it's, it's terrifying in many ways. And for you to just get that and in both. The conversations we've had this morning already, like, like the, um, you were afraid.Yeah. Afraid of your own creation, which is actually very sort of, I guess that's more, um, well, more Frankenstein, more Frankenstein than Dracula, but, but you know, it is like the monster of our own creation. Mm-hmm. You know, like, oh, I wanna write this book. There's a kind of dread in just even saying that.Yeah. And then, oh, I [00:13:00] wanna write this book andRight.Jennie: And that question of am I up to it? Am I capable of, it lies at the heart of. So many problems that we make for ourselves because, you know, we tell ourselves, no, I couldn't do that or that Yeah, that's too, I just, I, you know, that's for somebody else, or I, I'll keep it small, I'll keep it mm-hmm.Attached to this other, I'll keep it easy. That was what mm-hmm. You know, and, and what you're saying is, okay, now I'm gonna. I'm gonna write the book I wanna write.Andrew: Yeah.Jennie: Oh man, that's so big. So that,Andrew: yeah, that was my, that was my big revelation last night as I was, ‘cause I still didn't have an answer for you on that question as late as last night.And I was like, I don't know what to say. And then I was like, why is this heart so hard for me? And so that was, that was, that was really nice to kind of make that, find that understanding and that gave me peace and like. I started, I started just throwing words on the page [00:14:00] last night about what that meant.Um, what that will mean for the story, what that will mean for the, for the characters. So,Jennie: well, I'm gonna write down this question ‘cause I wanna, I wanna explore that more. Why is this so hard for me? That's such a good question because what I was doing last night after I wrote that note to you was I did a whole pro con thing.You know, pro, um, the vampires are here and present and known, or, you know, be, they're not like, you know? Mm-hmm. Or even c nobody knows if they're real or, you know, like I was trying to parse out what do I have to do to guide Andrew toward. A decision. So I was thinking more what's gonna prompt your brain to decide, and your question, why is this so hard for [00:15:00] me is really what the right question is instead of the pro con list.So that is brilliant. Um, I'm, I'm writing down so good. Um.Andrew: Well, thank you for pushing me.Jennie: Oh, well that's my job. So, um, it's fun. I mean, it's fun. And what's interesting, particularly with this project is as we know, I don't know Dracula, I don't read a lot of horror. And so I'm, I am, I am reacting to you more than this story, you know?So that was, that was why, how am I gonna get Andrew to. Figure this out. I have absolutely no, you know, opinion or, or you know, um, any reason why we choose one or the other. Uh, sure. You know, it's really what you want. So once you decide that, then does that help with. Other open questions? [00:16:00] Does it sort of have a domino effect in your mind on some of the other things?Andrew: I think it, yeah, it, yeah, I think it's gonna affect, I mean, it's gonna affect, so it's gonna affect the whole tenor of the book. Um, I think it, it's, it's going to change the motivations of so many other characters. It's going to change. The relationship between, um, uh, between all of the characters. Um, it's going to change the politics of the moment inside this world.Um, and it's going to kind of raise the stakes, uh, a little bit more. And I think in, in, in another way, it's going to make it resonate more with a modern audience. Um,Jennie: Ooh. Say more. Why do you think that?Andrew: Well, I think, uh, I think. Just because the vampires are no longer a secret, uh, society, just because they are, um, part of the public zeitgeist, that doesn't mean they are accepted by the public.Um, and so there's going to be [00:17:00] misunderstanding and fear, um, and uh, and violence all around this, uh, group of individuals, which I think. Again, as I, as I said, resonates with, with, with modern, with a modern audience.Jennie: Wow. That's, that's awesome. Um, so I'm also curious, one of the questions I had, you did some work around a Brianna's mother whomm-hmm.Jennie: Died in childbirth, giving birth to her. Mm-hmm. And, um. She was involved in this whole previous generation's relationship to the vampire hunting andmm-hmm.Jennie: Um, all of that. And it, it's been a little vague. Um, we've talked about it a little, but it sounds like that is becoming more of a connection for, for two things, both for a [00:18:00] Adrianna's motivation, um.To, to solve these murders, but also her connection to the suffragette movement, which prior to this draft, I kept feeling a little bit like it was shoehorned in there, likemm-hmm.Jennie: Oh, there's this vampire story and it's London and it's at this time, and there's this young woman in suffragette. You know, and, and now that small change really locks the, the suffragette movement into Aub Brianna's world and life.Um, so what do you now know about the mother that feels new or, um, that you've pinned down more because of these thoughts?Andrew: I'm still fleshing that out. But let me, let me say, one of the reasons I think that the suffragette movement element of the book feels a little tacked on is I have not [00:19:00] yet done my research there.And so it's like, that's a really, that's a, that's a glaring, that's a glaring hole right now that I need to fill with more research. I've been doing a lot of vampire research now. Um, and, but I need to switch. I need to switch tax and start and start doing more, uh, suffrage, uh, research. Um, but that said, yeah, I think.A Brianna's mother, Mina, um, was involved briefly in the suffrage movement because she dies or does she? And um, and, and I think she continues, she continues to play a role in the suffrage suffrage movement. What. What I've been grappling with now is how much of that does abriana know how much of that has her father told her?And I could see that being another point of contention between the two of them. If she discovers later that this was [00:20:00] another, another piece of information that was, that was hidden from her. And so,Jennie: Ooh, that's so good. It's so good. This, this young, yeah, this young woman. All these things stacked up against her that she, yeah.Sort of knows about or maybe suspects. Um, right. So you're right. The work is, there's always in any story who, the question of who knows what, when. Mm-hmm. I mean, particularly in a mystery or thriller, obviously.Andrew: Right.Jennie: Yeah. But who knows what, when, you know, can. Change who you choose to be your narrator. Who, who has right point of view, um, who gets point of view in the story.Uh, you know, do we go to a chapter in somebody's point of view? You know, all of those, all of those questions hang on. This idea of who knows what went. So, you as the author, are the first person that has to know. Everything. Right. And [00:21:00] then choose to, you know, how like, like putting little breadcrumbs or, you know, planting little seeds, ummm-hmm.Jennie: That you have to manage that material. Um, so that's a big question. And here's a question. Do you think you need those answers before you can pin the whole story down, or do you feel like. You can pin the plot down and that that is, gives more texture, more, more to a Adriana's motivation. Maybe it'll move certain scenes about her discovery of certain things, but do you, what do you feel about that research?Andrew: About the suffrage research they needJennie: to do? Yeah, yeah,Andrew: yeah. I think it's going to get, I think it's gonna open avenues for me. To identify what Mina's role was, what her mother, what, what breanna's mother's role was in the suffrage suffragette movement. [00:22:00] Who some of the players were, who some of the, some of the larger names, the, some of the larger, um, protesters and advocates for it were.Because the, you know, being a historical novel, I do want to incorporate some historical figures, which I, I think, um, is always a kind of a fun element of, of, of a novel. And so being able to incorporate some of that, I think will lay out a lot of avenues for a Brianna's story arc.Jennie: So I just wanna point out for our listeners that what is happening here, um, is that every question we ask or we pose.Is work, right? So some of it is, you know, work of walking the dog and thinking and saying, well, I don't know. Or Why don't I now? Or why is this hard for me? Or, uh, or, you know, all of that. And then now we're talking about. This question is work, um, figuring out research and, you know, at every turn it's, [00:23:00] when you do the thing that you wanna do, when you really lean into that, it, it gets harder.I mean, you're making it harder for yourself. So,yeah,Jennie: I just wanna point that out. ‘cause it, it's so interesting here as this is unfolding, um, that, that, that is just a, a truth. And the other thing I wanna point out is. Where this story started is where every story starts, which is you have this idea, it's a really cool idea.You have this sense of a plot. And, and in some ways, that very central idea of the plot is never gonna change. No matter what you do to this book, it's, it's a, mm-hmm. It's a murder, you know, there's murders and this young woman's gonna solve it, so. Mm-hmm. Like, that plot's not changing, but the, where it started was.These kind of card work cutout characters, kind of placeholder characters. And if you leave it at that, you can see where that would go, you know? Mm-hmm. It's like, [00:24:00] oh, mother died in childbirth. Of course child's motivated to, you know, something. Um, or Oh, distant and emotional dad, you know, you sort of start, start there.But now by understanding. The whole life that her mother lived and the whole role that she played, and is she even dead or not? You know, like huge, huge questions. Yeah. Make the mother a fully fleshed out 3D character. You know, that's where you're gonna go. And then you can see how that will make a Brianna.A more fully fleshed out 3D character. So instead of, instead of the tropes or the expected things, there's gonna be these nuances to it andmm-hmm.Jennie: Um, specific things. And then your question of what, how much does she know and, and what does she find out? [00:25:00] Um, there's gonna be plot points that come from that.Right. You know? Uh, do you have a sense. At this point, are there letters, are there diaries? Is there a friend who hasn't spoken? Like is there some source of information in your mind that Abriana might encounter?Andrew: Yes. And I think, and, and I think there are a couple of different sources. I think, I think her mother Mina will have had diaries, um, and potentially letters.I think also Van Helsing will also certainly have papers. Um. And letters. Um, and, uh, there's a, there's a, there's a prop. He, when he dies, he bequeaths to abriana his Gladstone bag. Um, and I think there's going to be some sort of revelatory piece of information in the Gladstone bag, and I haven't figured [00:26:00] out what that piece of information is.So,Jennie: is that black bag that doctors hadAndrew: that doctors carry around? Yeah. That the old time, that old, that old timey doctors carry?Jennie: Yeah. Why was it ca called that?Andrew: You know, that's a good, that's a good question. I don't know where, uh, what the etymology for, for, for the Gladstone bag is. I don't know why that is.Jennie: Interesting. So that's like a toolbox basically. Yeah. It's filled, filled with things and,Outro: yeah. Yeah.Jennie: Uh, that's cool. That's cool. Um, that, I love that. So this is a silly thing. I was so confused. And I know you told me this, um, but that there's a character, John Seward, who's a character from Dracula. Mm-hmm.And Abriana refers to him as her uncle, but he's not her uncle. Correct. But the reason I continue to be confused is that her dad's name is also JohnAndrew: Jonathan. Yeah.Jennie: Jonathan.Andrew: Yeah.Jennie: Does it have to [00:27:00] be or is that just like, oh, Jennie, come on. Surely the reader can handle a John and a Jonathan.Andrew: Well, I mean, no, that's a legitimate question because, um, can they, um, especially if we've got two characters named Abraham and Abriana, right?And so like, and so now I, I, I've been struggling with that too. I think I've been, I've been trying to carry forward some of, some of the characters from Dracula. I think I like the character of Seward because he is a protege of Van Helsing, but perhaps the protege bit is important and not the actual name of the person.So maybe it's another character that I've, that I'm introducing here who was a protege of Van Helsing.Jennie: Oh. But see, I think that's where you get into. So your ideal reader you've established may not know Dracula right. Inside and out. Right. But you will have a lot [00:28:00] of readers who do.Yes.Jennie: And there is a world of people who really love this stuff and who really.Right. You know, and if you were to change an actual charactermm-hmm.Jennie: And give it, give him a different name or a different whatever, people will come after you.Yeah. People will be obsessed.Jennie: And that's fine. Right. Butyeah.Jennie: Is, is that one of the things that could be in the book that those readers. That would delight those readers.Andrew: Right. I like, I feel like there are a lot of ways I can leave Easter eggs for Dracula fans.Jennie: Yeah.Andrew: Um, that aren't, that aren't germane to understanding the plot of the motivations of the characters, but that, like a Dracula fan will appreciate, oh, I see what you did there. That was a nice touch. Um,Jennie: and soAndrew: I,Jennie: oh, I think they, they're gonna love that andAndrew: Yeah.Yeah.Jennie: You know, there's also then. This is just where my brain goes in terms of marketing. There's also then a whole [00:29:00] thing of, you know, a connection to a literary, uh, to literature readers, which could potentially be students and scholars and, you know, that sort of thing. Yeah.Andrew: Yeah.Jennie: So I don't, I don't think you should so quickly dismiss.John Stewart, but it's a Adrianna's father being named Jonathan, I was wondering about.Andrew: Mm-hmm. Okay.Jennie: And, and you do not have to care that Jennie can't keep him straight. Uh, I'm, I'm 62. My brain doesn't work the same way it used to, but I can't tell you the number of times. I'm like, wait. Was that like I wasAndrew: right.Jennie: Really snagging on that. So, um, just a point of information.Andrew: Gotcha, gotcha. No, it's worth thinking about though. It's worth thinking about. But I, I had a, I had a question for you.Jennie: Yeah.Andrew: If now is an appropriate time to ask it.Jennie: Ask it. [00:30:00] Yeah.Andrew: I've been, I've been spending a lot of brain power on the question of POV.Jennie: Yeah,Andrew: and I've been go like, and going back and forth about whether this is going to be a single POV, uh, and Abriana is, Abriana is our narrator, or if it's more third person omniscient, or maybe this is a dual POV. And I think most recently I've been thinking this is a dual POV between Abriana and her namesake Van Helsing, and like.Which is also create some time traveling, uh, mechanisms because we'll be, we'll be talk, he'll be talking about his experiences, uh, before Abriana was born and as she, as she's a child, and she'll be talking about her experiences as a young woman. And so, but now as we're talking about a Adrianna's mother, I'm more, I'm wondering like, do I want the dual POV to between, between Abriana and her mother?Um. What question should I [00:31:00] be considering to help me make that decision?Jennie: Uh, well this is a huge question, Andrew. Um, there, I feel like you just named so many excellent structural ways forward, right? And the question of what do you ask yourself? You're asking such good questions, like what do you ask yourself to make that decision?And. I'm gonna, my answer's gonna be something really unsatisfying in many ways because it's, you gotta go back to your why, why are you writing the story? Mm-hmm. Okay. Why does it matter to you? Mm-hmm. What is your point? Who do you, who do you want to speak to? Uh, those fundamental questions are going to inform the POV because if you, well, I know you originally had an idea about the brother.Um, her brother being a narrator, and you didn't mention him this time, you mentioned No, [00:32:00] the mom. So a story in which the mom and daughter are narrating and the mom and they're never going to meet.Mm-hmm.Jennie: Those two people in, I don't think, well, no, that's not true. Uh, uh, an unden person could meet a, a human walking the earth, um, right.Andrew: And that may be, that may be part of the climax.Jennie: Yeah. SoAndrew: of the novel. ButJennie: that, um, that a mother daughter who, who don't think that they can, maybe the daughter doesn't think that they will ever meet, you know, that's a real particular. Kind of a story. Mm-hmm. So I do think, going back to your why, why do I care about this?Why, you know, I, I asked you in our, our initial conversation, you know, you're, you're a man. You're writing about [00:33:00] suffragettes, you're writing about a woman protagonist, a young woman, protagonist, and you talked a lot about your sister.Mm-hmm.Jennie: Understanding those motivations and interests and passions because that mother-daughter story will carry a certain kind of weight.The, if we think of the, the Van Haling being a narrator, that taps into what we were talking about before. How connected is your story to that lineage ofright,Jennie: of that one. ‘cause now you're. Not only having Bram Stoker's character, you're giving that character a POV voice. Mm-hmm. Which is another level of connection to that mm-hmm.Literary lineage. Mm-hmm. Um, so that would take it in a different, you can see how that would take it in a really different direction. So POV is, [00:34:00] you know, in some stories it's quite. Instant. Um, you just sort of know, um, in other stories it's not, and this one, it, it is not. Um mm-hmm. I think it's, it's clear Abriana is your protagonist.It's her our core following. Mm-hmm. It's her. Transformation. We're interested in her, uh, solving the murder, her understanding her legacy, her coming into her own power. Those are the things we want to see resolved. Um, so whether or not she is a POV though, because there's a, then there's, there's third person.Mm-hmm. I mean, third person has different, you know, there's different permutations of it. There's third person close mm-hmm. Which is sort of functions in some ways, like first person, because in third person close, you don't go into anybody else's head. Mm-hmm. Um, I, I sometimes don't understand why, [00:35:00] why that is even a choice.Then I read books that do it, that work beautifully, and it's like, oh, okay. You know? So, uh, you know, everything can be a choice, but, um, you know, so we know that she's at the center. So then the question I'm circling around to answering your question, how do you help yourself solve this? What other voices would amplify?Mm-hmm.Jennie: Her transformation, that's really what it is, is it's her story. You know, the, the mother, POV would take it in one direction. Van Helsing would take it in a different mm-hmm. Uh, third person where we're,I don't know, a third person narrator that goes back in time feels odd to me.Andrew: Okay.Jennie: I think if it's, and I'm just talking out loud here. I think if it's third person, it, it, we could go into all the heads of everybody. Walking the earth [00:36:00] right now. But I feel like if you go into someone you can see I'm betraying my not understanding Vampire vampires very well.They never die, right?Andrew: Yes. They're undead.Jennie: They never die. So. Okay, so I think, ignore what I just said, A third person, omniscient narrator, could go into their heads as well. Um, right. And go back in time as well. But your time travel, like, like actually having that, that's a really different story, so.Mm-hmm.Jennie: Um, how you're going to answer is you're gonna sit with that question of what is gonna make a adrianna's story resonate the most at that end, right? What, mm-hmm. What knowing is going to, to amplify that the most. And then the second thing to ask yourself, and you might need to do a little more work, uh, in order to answer [00:37:00] this once you get the inside outline done.Looking at the key scenes. Yeah, you may just see, oh, there is no way that this is gonna work in a certain POV, or I have to have this other POVI can't convey. I can't go to that scene. I have to go to that scene. Or alternatively a scene that you can't go to. Then you think, alright, how will I get this?Into How do I convey this? I'm thinking of that. Um. You know, there's so many, uh, there's so many, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? I'm thinking of JK Rowling and Harry Potter and all the things that she did, you know, the mirror Yeah. That shows Harry or his parents and the pen sea that, you know, gets the memories outta somebody's head.Like all these, um mm-hmm. Mechanical ways Yeah. Of show, showing us what happened.Yeah. [00:38:00]Jennie: Back, back in the day. You know, that's a particularly kind of story with particularly kind of magic. But there, there, you don't know. You might have this, they're devices.Yeah,Jennie: that's the word I was looking for. Devices, yes.That you might have one or two scenes, it's like, do I need a whole POV just to convey these scenes or is there another way I could get this information in? So it's two parts, it's both. Um, I would say heart a heart. A heart-centered thing. What, what do I want? What will amplify my why and my point the most?What, what I think would be interesting and fun to write the question of, um, then Helsing, do I want to embrace that? Mm-hmm. For some reason I'm thinking of that, um, novel, um, the Hillary Clinton alternative history novel. Um. Called Rodham, uh oh, by, [00:39:00] is it Curtis Sittenfeld, I think. Um, Rodham, but so courageous and daring.She, yeah, she imagines, um, what would have happened had, had Hillary not married Bill, and it follows the, their lives and their meeting and their love story and all this whole thing, which he just chooses not to marry him. And, you know, like. That's a certain kind of bravery as an author to, to take that sort of a character.And you'd be, you'd be doing that. So do you, do I wanna do that? So it's all those hard questions and then there's plot questions, so Right. I'm gonna say that for the next, your next bit of homework. Mm-hmm. Um. Is to, I would go to the inside outline and start trying to pin this plot down and noodling around with it.And we know that it's going to change based on your research. Mm-hmm. Based on the fact that it always changes. [00:40:00] Um, but just noodle around with it and try it from different POVs. See, see what happens. You know? Take, take the, um, this is the reason, by the way, listeners, why I insist that the insight outline at the beginning is only three pages because Andrew can do one that is a Briana's, POV only.What does that look like? Uh, AA and her mom, what does that look like? Abriana and um. Van health sink, what does that look like? Uh, third person, what does that look like? You could do four, three page outlines and it's not gonna kill you. Right. Right. You could just to sort of get a feel for it, and I promise you mm-hmm.That what's gonna happen is one of ‘em is gonna feel more alive.Andrew: Right.Jennie: So that's the sortAndrew: of, okay,Jennie: unsatisfying [00:41:00] answer is one of them is gonna feel more alive. So you're gonna start with your why. Start with your point. Try to sit with that, then try those things on. One of them's gonna feel more alive.Okay.Andrew: So you're not just gonna tell me which POVs to use then?Jennie: No, it'sAndrew: not. That's not how thisJennie: works. I know, it's such a bummer. Um. I mean, it's such a, such an important question and people often skim past it, butAndrew: mm-hmm.Jennie: You know, take, I think it's the time, like dig, dig into the outline with the intention mm-hmm.Of landing on POV. How about, how about that for your homework?Andrew: Okay. That sounds good. That sounds good. I can do that.Jennie: Okay. Well, I can't wait to hear how it goes. And for our listeners. Until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters.Outro: The hashtag am [00:42:00] Writing podcast is produced by Andrew Perilla.

Send us Fan MailExplore Kana's transformative experiences with Mary Magdalene, her spiritual journey, and the healing power of love. Discover why these insights matter.In a recent conversation, Kana shared her profound connection to Mary Magdalene, a figure often shrouded in mystery but deeply impactful for many. This post delves into Kana's spiritual journey, the significance of Mary Magdalene, and the healing energy she embodies.## Understanding Mary Magdalene: More Than a Figure of the PastKana begins by emphasizing that Mary Magdalene was a real person, not just a mystical figure. During her trips to the south of France, where Mary Magdalene is said to have lived, Kana felt a deep connection to her energy. She recounts a private tour guided by a specialist in Mary Magdalene's history, leading her to a cave known as Gorge de Galimus. As she climbed, Kana experienced energetic shifts, feeling the vibrations increase with every step. This wasn't just a physical journey; it was a spiritual awakening.  Energetic Experience- **Why This Matters:** Understanding Mary Magdalene's historical context helps validate the experiences of those who connect with her energy today.- **How She Experienced It:** As Kana climbed the mountain, she felt the shifts in energy, leading to tears of remembrance when she reached the cave. She describes this as a moment of recognizing her past with Mary Magdalene, confirming her existence and teachings.Love: The Core Teaching of Mary MagdaleneKana emphasizes that love is central to Mary Magdalene's teachings. She recalls moments in the cave where she felt unconditional love radiating from Mary Magdalene. This love, she believes, is what makes a difference in our lives.Why Love Matters: Love is transformative and healing. Kana encourages her listeners to cultivate love in their lives, as it is essential for spiritual growth.- **How to Cultivate This Love:** Engage in practices that promote self-love and connection to others. This could include meditation, self-reflection, or connecting with nature.- **Example from Transcript:** "Her love was, she was an avatar. She was clearly an avatar." Kana's experience in the cave reaffirmed the importance of love in healing. Healing Through Experience- **Why This Journey Matters:** Many people carry trauma that affects their ability to connect with themselves and others. Kana's story serves as a beacon of hope.- **How She Healed:** Through various healing modalities, Kana learned to release anger and trauma, ultimately connecting with her higher self. She emphasizes the importance of finding the right healer and sticking with them to facilitate lasting change.Kana's experiences with Mary Magdalene and her journey of healing serve as powerful reminders of the importance of love and personal connection in our lives. She encourages anyone seeking to reconnect with their spiritual selves to engage in practices that promote love and healing. If you feel called to explore these sacred sites or connect with Mary Magdalene's energy, take that leap. Your journey could lead to profound discoveries and healing.

AI NEWS: Anthropic's Claude is slowly boiling OpenClaw & OpenAI one feature at a time. They just shipped automode, computer control, phone access, and a ton more.   This week, we breakdown all the biggest news on AI agents like how. Claude can now operate your entire computer from your phone, Claude Code automode can runs fully autonomous, and it's now accessible via Telegram and Discord.  We dig into why this matters for OpenClaw, the open vs closed AI debate heating up, Karpathy using OpenClaw to control his home gadgets… and, oh yeah, OpenAI just shut down Sora. Plus Seedance 2.0 finally drops (sort of), Figure's robot sorting is getting insane, Figure CEO Brett Adcock launches Hark with a team from Apple and Meta, Jonathan Mann's WAMP.LAND, and we debut SLOPWATCH 2026 to talk about what's happening on Fruit Love Island.  Also, we gave our AI a lunch break.

Her first big Amazon win should have ended when the pandemic did. Instead, it sparked a bold pivot, lean launches, AI image hacks, and a $1M fashion brand scaling fast now.

Doc Danny breaks down the difference between a profitable and unprofitable $1M cash-based PT clinic. He explains why top-line revenue is not enough, how provider efficiency changes margins, and what patterns show up in the strongest cash practices at this stage. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why two $1M clinics can leave owners in completely different financial positions How owner's discretionary income matters more than gross revenue The staffing and visit benchmarks behind a profitable $1M clinic How small group training and recurring revenue improve margins Why provider efficiency is one of the biggest difference-makers at scale How recurring revenue reduces mental load, marketing pressure, and burnout Why financial intelligence is often a bigger bottleneck than new patients Key Takeaway A $1M cash-based clinic is not automatically a good business. What matters is how much revenue actually passes through to the owner and whether the clinic is structured efficiently enough to stay profitable, stable, and sustainable. Technology Spotlight Clinicians hate spending extra time writing notes.

In this episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, I sit down with Christopher Seminatore. U.S. Navy Veteran and founder of GetGeofencing.com to break down precision marketing, location-based advertising, and how he bootstrapped a 7-figure agency without outside funding. Christopher shares how his military experience shaped his approach to entrepreneurship, risk, and execution. We unpack what geofencing actually is, how it works, and why location-based targeting is becoming one of the most effective forms of digital advertising.  Instead of broad, spray-and-pray marketing, Christopher focuses on precision drawing digital boundaries around physical locations and delivering ads directly to devices within those zones.  We also discuss: • Transitioning from military service to entrepreneurship • Bootstrapping without investors • How geofencing marketing works in simple terms • Precision targeting vs traditional digital ads • Building recurring revenue • Competitor targeting strategies • Remote-first business systems • Discipline and long-term execution Christopher proves you don't need venture capital to scale. You need clarity, systems, and consistent follow-through. If you're a founder, marketer, or v Veteran entrepreneur serious about monetizing attention with precision, this episode delivers practical insight.  Military Creator Con I'm a featured speaker at Military Creator Con, where veterans, creators, and entrepreneurs come together to turn content and audience into opportunity.

Houlie Duque — the founder and CEO of HomeschoolToGo, the only personalized and fully bilingual education program in the world, combining project-based learning, and parent-coaching to unlock each child's full potential.With over a decade of experience teaching and designing curricula, Houlie built HomeschoolToGo because she believes every child learns differently — and deserves a system that adapts to them, not the other way around.Extended Bio:Houlie Duque is the Founder and CEO of HomeschoolToGo, a groundbreaking personalized education platform serving families across the Americas. With over a decade of experience as an educator, curriculum designer, and parent-coach, Houlie has become a leading voice in the movement toward child-centered, flexible, and emotionally intelligent learning.Her journey began after years of witnessing the same painful patterns in families:• Children who were bright but became anxious, unmotivated, or “lost” in overcrowded classrooms• Parents who felt frustrated, guilty, or overwhelmed because their child wasn't getting the attention or support they needed• Students labeled as “behind,” “distracted,” or “problematic” or even too advanced, when, in reality, they simply learned differently• Families who wanted to help their kids thrive, but didn't know where to start or what alternatives truly workedHoulie created HomeschoolToGo to offer what so many parents were searching for but couldn't find:a structured, high-quality education that adapts to the child instead of forcing the child to adapt to the system.The platform combines Montessori, Waldorf, Project-Based Learning, Cambridge rigor, and bilingual instruction—all wrapped in a coaching model that guides parents step by step. Her mission is to make personalized learning accessible, simple, and deeply supportive for families trying to navigate an educational landscape that no longer fits the needs of modern learners.Today, Houlie and her team support families across multiple countries, helping children rediscover confidence, curiosity, and joy in learning—while giving parents the tools to create calm, connected, and purposeful home environments.Whether she's speaking about emotional regulation, academic mastery, parental burnout, or building future-ready students, Houlie is known for her balanced, practical approach that empowers parents rather than overwhelms them.In this episode, Houlie dives into how personalized education is transforming student outcomes, what parents are getting wrong (and right) about homeschooling, and why the future of success belongs to children whose education honors their unique wiring and potential.If you're curious on how you could be raising your child to reach their full potential, check out this FREE Masterclass : "How to Offer High Quality Education to Your Child in under 10h of Homeschooling per Week"Visit Houlie Duque's Website: www.homeschooltogo.orgCheck out Houlie's FREE Masterclass: "How to Offer High Quality Education to Your Child in under 10h of Homeschooling per Week" - https://courses.homeschooltogo.org/freemasterclass-registration

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Spencer Humiston. (https://BowTiedLimeBoss).I'm sitting down with Spencer, a former lawyer who escaped the grind in Alaska to build an 8-figure entrepreneurial empire centered on experiential businesses. We dive into the wild logistics of Night Lights, a sky lantern festival that pulls in over 100,000 attendees and can generate a staggering $2.5 million in a single weekend.Spencer gets incredibly candid about why he views entrepreneurship as 99% problem solving, how he manages the legal liability of "flaming garbage," and why on-site parking is actually the "make or break" factor for any public event. We also explore his latest ventures in digital marketing, ticketing platforms, and why he believes the traditional music festival model is broken.Questions This Episode Answers:How do you transition from a professional career like law into a high-scale experiential business?What are the critical logistics and safety protocols required to run a massive sky lantern festival?Why is on-site parking considered the biggest choke point for events-based businesses?How can entrepreneurs use dynamic pricing to drive 50% of their ticket sales in the final month?What does the team structure and net margin look like for a business generating $5 million in top-line revenue?Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 Highlights & Introduction01:00 Founding Nightlights01:20 Challenges and Misunderstandings01:55 Expanding Ventures02:27 Event Logistics and Revenue03:34 Country Music Festival Collaboration06:26 Launching Great Crowd09:27 Sky Lanterns in America11:52 Logistics and Legalities14:57 Parking and Venue Challenges21:52 The Lantern Crew: Who They Are and What They Do22:45 Ticket Pricing and Sales Strategy23:25 The Backend Team and Operations24:58 Marketing and Revenue Challenges25:52 Event Logistics and Risks30:41 Music Festivals and New Ventures33:53 The Anti-Conference Concept38:13 Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

In this episode, I address a growing trend I've been seeing among therapists—trying to interpret, analyze, and "figure out" what a child's play means. I understand the desire to make sense of themes, especially when we're trying to communicate progress to parents. But in child-centered play therapy, that instinct can actually pull us away from what matters most. When we start making assumptions or drawing conclusions, we move out of the present moment and into our heads, which takes us out of true engagement with the child. I explain why it is not our job to interpret or assign meaning to a child's play, and how doing so can lead us down inaccurate or unnecessary paths. Instead, our role is to stay grounded in what we know—what the child is doing, saying, and feeling—and remain fully adherent to the model. CCPT works because of the relationship and the process, not because we understand every detail of what's happening. This episode is a reminder to release the pressure to figure it all out and to trust that fidelity to the model is enough. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, originally broadcast in November 2022, I'm talking about what happens when we shift from the "what" to the "how" with getting your consulting business to seven figures and maybe even eight figures. I'll talk all about how to accomplish the milestones you set for your business and how to create the action plan to get there. Tune in to this episode to learn more!   Key Takeaways:  Setting micro goals and milestones along the journey of your business can be a great way to help you eventually achieve your destination.  The "what" can be easy to identify, but it's the "how" that generally is harder to accomplish.  Finding motivation and changing your mindset can help to accomplish your goals.  Quotes:  "I always want my clients to have a revenue goal in mind, but it's more important to me that we turn that goal into a sheet of micro goals or milestones." – Jessica Fearnley "One thing I have really learned in recent years is that we need the "what" to be expansive and to be able to expand to its true dimensions before we even make a start on the "how"." – Jessica Fearnley Useful Links:  Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Jessica's LinkedIn Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Find out more about the Business Growth Intensive

My Guest: Scott Galloway is the New York Times bestselling author of books including The Four, The Algebra of Happiness, Post Corona, Adrift, and The Algebra of Wealth.  Notes: Key Learnings Routine speeds up time, novelty slows it down. If you want life to go fast, just spend it alone and have a routine and never bust out of that routine. What makes life interesting is diversity in people, because people are complicated, and relationships are complicated. Lean into your emotions to slow time down. If you see something that moves you, stop, think about it, ask yourself why it moves you, and try to cement that moment in your brain. Otherwise, you're not sleepwalking through life; you're sleep sprinting. "The greatest wasted resource in history is good intentions that don't get articulated." No matter how famous someone is, they love affirmation as much as anybody else. Good thoughts that don't get articulated are wasted. Absorb when you're upset and lean into emotions, good and bad. This sort of marks the day and slows things down. Otherwise, if you get up every morning, do the same thing, eat the same thing, have the same relationship, the week's just gonna go really fast. Reverse engineer your success to things that aren't your fault. What are the things that played a role in your success that you had no control over? Your luck, your good fortune. For Scott: big government, assisted lunch, Pell Grants, University of California, technology financed by middle-class taxpayers, DARPA, the internet, deep pools of capital, and acceptance of failure. His mom told him he had value every day. Scott's mom, every day, implicitly and explicitly, told him and communicated to him that he had value. That builds a basic confidence that manifests in different ways: the confidence to fail, approach strangers, believe you're worthy of love, that you'll add value to a company, and that you can ask for tens of millions of dollars from someone. When good things happened, he used to call his mom. Whether it was getting a bonus at Morgan Stanley or striking up a conversation with a woman at Starbucks and getting her number, Scott used to call his mom. Your parents can bask in your victory, and you can brag to your parents, and it's okay. If there's no one there with you, it's like it didn't happen. Scott travels for business and stays at really nice hotels, and inevitably gets upgraded to the penthouse or the George V in Paris when he's alone. But if there's no one there with you, it's like it didn't happen. Celebrate victories, tell people how much they mean to you. You have to call your friends, celebrate their victories, celebrate your own, and tell people how much they mean to you. Every day, no matter what, tell your kids you're proud of them and love them. No matter how much Scott's kids piss him off, at some point, he finds a way to say, "I'm proud of you, and I love you immensely. You know that, right?" He hopes they have that same kind of base or pillar of confidence he had his whole life. Having someone tell you they believe in you every day works. You don't have to be a baller or successful. Just having someone in your life and every day telling them they mean a lot to you, they can't help but not believe you after a while. Being a leader isn't about being the smartest person in the room. Scott used to think being a leader was being the smartest person in the room, and he had trouble, especially with other men, thinking if he acknowledged someone else was doing a good job, somehow that made him less impressive. You have so much currency as a founder or manager. If you're in a management or leadership role, much less a founder, you have so much currency to pull someone into a conference room and say, "You were outstanding in that meeting" or "I just read this, and I love this paragraph. God, where did you come up with this idea?" You literally see these people just light up. "If you're thinking it, say it." The instant you're thinking something positive about somebody, just tell them, text them, call them. Don't wait. We have a tendency to think other people are telepathic, that they must sense we think they're wonderful. No, they don't sense it. Articulate it. When you're on your deathbed, you're not gonna think "I gave too much praise at work and told too many people how much they meant to me." Young people need watering. If you don't give young people feedback and praise when they deserve it, it's like having a ton of capital and not spending it. Especially with young people, they need watering. Feedback is incredible compensation. Whenever someone does something good, Scott tries to remind himself via email. Then, when he does their review at the end of the year, it's like, " Wow, this dude is paying attention. That is a form of compensation. Give thoughtful reviews that show you understand them. Tell them what they need to develop to get to the next level. Pay for the courses they need. They're a single mom who needs flexibility and wants to make more money. That's compensation. "Become a clip machine." Certain people are clip machines: James Clear, Morgan Housel, Kat Cole, Scott Galloway. These are people who communicate ideas in ways that are instantly shareable and memorable. For leaders, becoming an effective communicator isn't optional anymore. You need to be able to inspire and move people. The ability to write well is the stem of storytelling. It forces you to manage your thoughts and think things through. It's difficult to be a great storyteller if you can't write at a competent level. Rank yourself across every medium and go deep on one. Look at every medium (texting, LinkedIn, short form video, TikTok, long form writing, speaking), rank yourself, listen to yourself, decide what your specialty is, and then go very deep into one. Figure out your medium and commit to being in the top 1%. Challenge yourself to be in the top 10% within a year, the top 1% within three years. Identify which medium you have skills in, then challenge yourself. If you're in the top 6,000 podcasts out of 600,000 that put out content every week, you're in the top 1%. "Social media may make you want to shower after you use it, but it's frightening how powerful it is." In terms of economic power and influence, it's frightening how powerful social media is right now. If you're a young person and you want to be influential or economically secure, you need to master it. Storytelling is the enduring skill to give your kids. Scott's core competence is storytelling. His superpower is attracting and retaining people who help leverage his skills. The most radical act in a capitalist society is not participation. Scott started Resist and Unsubscribe because action absorbs anxiety. He was sick of being virtuous and courageous on a keyboard or a mic and wanted to do something. "Ready, fire, fucking aim on this thing called life." Scott wants to dance like no one is watching. He's gonna be dead soon, and it's all going really fast. He doesn't want to look back and think about losing sponsors or what people thought was stupid. He wants to think, "Right on, I tried to do something." He wants to be that guy who was unafraid, who showed up with a carpool to try and make a difference. Your spending or lack thereof is a weapon hiding in plain sight. The government most quickly responded six years ago during COVID, not because tens of thousands of people were dying, but because the GDP crashed 31%. The president backs away from plans when the bond market or stock market goes down. Even a gnat on an elephant matters. Even if it's just a gnat on an elephant, enough gnats will take down an elephant. If you have economic security and people who love you unconditionally, you have an obligation to speak out. Sam Harris has this great saying: if you have economic security and people who love you unconditionally, then you have an obligation to speak out and speak your mind, because most people don't have that luxury. Do what makes you feel good about yourself. It's not easy being mediocre-looking; it takes real effort. Scott grew up very skinny with bad acne and thinks maybe he's a little too focused or self-conscious about his looks. America is ageist, and looks matter. New York is the ultimate tip of the spear for a capitalist society, and it's optimized for two people: hot women and rich guys. For everyone else, it's a soul-crushing experience. We can talk about the way the world should be and the way the world is. That's the way the world is. Start working out. Scott coaches young men: start working out. It's good for your head. It shows women and employers you're in shape, not just because it looks good (which it does), but because it reflects how you show up, that you have discipline, that you can commit to something. The rule of threes puts you in the top 5% of attractiveness. If you work out three times a week or more, if you spend at least 30 hours a week working outside of the house, and put yourself in the company of strangers (church group, nonprofits, sports league), just by doing those three things, you put yourself in the top 5% of attractiveness of young males. Anyone who's had great yeses has had a shit ton of no's. If you can be in the top 5% and learn how to mourn and move on from rejection, at some point, you'll be voluntarily celibate, which is awesome. There were hundreds of no's for you to get to a top podcast. You get used to no. No one has the right to a living or to reproduce. If you want to score above your class economically or romantically, get out a big spoon and get ready to eat shit. It's what everyone of us has done. "I'm constantly worried about my boys now." Scott didn't worry about his kids when they were little unless they were sick - they were safe and home. Now he's worried about them all the time: are they doing okay at school? Is the quiet one okay? His champagne toast moment would be celebrating his son's first year of college going well - having fun, a good friend group, a couple of dates, football games, and gearing up for sophomore year. Reflection Questions What things played a role in your success that you had no control over? Your luck, your good fortune. How does reverse engineering to those things change your perspective? Who in your life needs to hear that you're proud of them and that they mean a lot to you? When's the last time you actually said it? Rank yourself across every medium you participate in (texting, LinkedIn, video, writing, speaking). What's your specialty? Are you willing to commit to being in the top 1% of that medium within three years?

The best eCommerce opportunity is the one most sellers avoid…In this episode of the High Voltage Business Builders podcast, we break down how Ashley turned a highly regulated scar care product into a premium eCommerce brand that scaled past $730,000 in first-year sales.The episode also covers the dangers of the Amazon “mosh pit,” why the 5x5 playbook creates a more stable path to growth, and how Ashley used premium packaging, strategic pricing, and a hybrid shipping model to scale without losing margin. Neil explains why regulatory friction can become a competitive advantage, and how recurring revenue through Subscribe & Save transformed the business into a more predictable and valuable asset. In This Episode, We Cover✅ Most Amazon Sellers Start in the Wrong PlaceThis is the “mosh pit” problem; Sellers chase cheap, saturated products with thin margins and no real competitive advantage. ✅ The Green Light Process for Choosing Profitable ProductsThe episode breaks down the Green Light spreadsheet and why the business requires a strict minimum of $12 net profit per unit. Ashley's scar tape idea worked because it solved a real problem and passed the numbers test before scale ever started.✅ How Compliance Became a Barrier to EntryAshley's product was a 510(k)-exempt medical device, which meant documentation, lot tracking, and quality management systems. Instead of avoiding that complexity, she leaned into it and used regulation to keep cheap competitors out of the market.✅ The 5x5 Playbook for Building a Real BrandInstead of relying on one viral product, the episode explains the logic behind building five related products that each generate steady daily sales. Ashley followed the principle with unusual restraint by focusing on one hero product first before expanding vertically.

Building a successful career in the corporate world and reaching the pinnacle isn't easy. Walking away from that success, with four kids and looming college bills, to bet on yourself is even harder. Most people never make that leap. Fewer still build companies that exit for eight or nine figures while pursuing a life of freedom, faith, and long-term impact. That's exactly what today's guest did.After two decades at UnitedHealthcare, Scott Lingle made a pivot into entrepreneurship later in life, launched multiple healthcare tech companies, and had two exits — including one for nine figures in 2024. But what makes Scott's story compelling isn't just the financial outcome. It's how he built businesses that didn't depend on him, positioning him to shift from wealth creation to legacy and impact.In our conversation, we dive into his pivot toward impact, from launching High School Hustle to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, and how his faith was a compass that shaped his decisions along the way.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The leadership decision that allowed him to scale without sacrificing his time and sanity.✅ How finding a way to replace yourself as the top salesperson leads to exponential business growth and unlocks financial freedom.✅ Why Scott believes that using the 3% rule to invest in your personal development is the best money you'll ever spend.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/282Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

"If you can own that you are the issue, then you can own that you have ownership over your calendar. You're just getting in your own way, and you're letting your brain win." In this episode, Heather digs into the reality that burnout doesn't happen overnight. It builds over the years through the emotional weight we carry (often not even our own), the expectations we place on ourselves, and the subtle ways we abandon our own needs to keep everything else running. Heather explores why so many women find themselves stuck in cycles of exhaustion, over-responsibility, and emotional labor, and why true recovery from burnout requires changing yourself, not just rest. From learning how to manage your nervous system and energy levels, to developing deeper discernment about what belongs on your calendar and what doesn't, this conversation unpacks the hidden patterns that keep us operating in survival mode. Because until you're willing to look in the mirror and decide you can't keep living the same way, nothing truly shifts, and eventually, something in your life will demand that you finally pay attention. What to listen for: ✨ The reason why women take on and carry other people's emotional weight ✨ You can't recover from burnout and then reenter your life without actually changing ✨ Until you learn to manage your energy and resistance, you'll continue hiding out "Until you're willing to look in the mirror and to be like, I can't live like this anymore, nothing will change. It will manifest itself through your marriage, in a child's behavior, your career, your bank account, or your body. One of those things will get so big that you can't avoid it anymore. But the symptoms were there, probably about 10 years before." ✨ Taking ownership of our nervous system and a big lesson in burnout from the gym ✨ Understanding contrast and capacity and how to manage your energy levels ✨ Navigating through transition and deeply owning the season or phase you're in "I put my soul on the calendar. I have discernment because I've built up the skill and the muscle to listen to myself and know what feels good and what doesn't. But for whatever reason in the season of my life, there's this new level of discernment and agency that I need to take on." ✨ What it really looks like to own your calendar and experience time freedom ✨ Understanding your unique needs and protecting yourself from energetic debt ✨ The importance of not allowing yourself to get into a survival or crisis state "I just refuse to let myself get into a survival or crisis state. I'll challenge myself, sprint, and lean in, but I am not going to burn myself out for ego and pride. I just won't do it. I want to live a meaningful, healthy, vibrant life because that's to me is what my soul craves." ✨ What it looks like to live a mother-led, energy-led life that fulfills you ✨ If you can't connect with yourself, you won't feel connected with anyone else ✨ Removing all the challenges that are taking your energy from what matters *** We live in a culture that rewards fixing, striving, and holding everything together, yet the truthfeeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.
