Executive coach and researcher Marina Morgan (Morgan Impact) joins me to explore what few founders talk about openly—entrepreneurial trauma—and how resilience, not hustle, becomes your survival skill in an age of constant disruption.Marina works with leaders to navigate emotional recovery after layoffs, bankruptcies, and burnout—real losses that rarely get social support. Together we unpack how AI, rapid change, and relentless uncertainty are reshaping not just business models, but our nervous systems.The conversation moves from neurophysiology to leadership—why trauma isn't just mental, how adaptation speed varies person to person, and why founders need to treat resilience like revenue: measurable, trackable, and intentional.TL;DR* Entrepreneurial trauma: Failure leaves real physiological marks—acknowledge them.* AI stress loop: Fast tech shifts can outpace human adaptability.* Preventive care: Sleep, nutrition, and movement fuel better decisions.* Control what's controllable: Focus energy on what you can change.* Resilience is ROI: Strong nervous systems create stronger companies.* Professional help matters: When reactions don't fit reality, therapy restores alignment.Memorable lines* “Trauma isn't just in your head—it's in your MRI.”* “AI change is faster than our ability to adapt.”* “Your physical condition is your first strategy.”* “Resilience isn't luck—it's management.”Guest: Marina Morgan — Founder, Morgan ImpactLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamorgan-sf/Website: https://themorganimpact.com/Why it mattersEntrepreneurs experience real trauma—but rarely name it. As AI accelerates change, the leaders who will thrive aren't the toughest—they're the most self-aware, regulated, and resilient.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty explores how inner change sticks when faith-driven mindset work meets neuroscience—and where ancient botanicals can (and can't) support calm focus. Dr. Laurette Willis (founder, Weight Loss Without Willpower) breaks down renewing the mind (Romans 12:2), CBT-based tools, and a quick bilateral stimulation reset for cravings. Entrepreneur Robert Lattig (Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar) shares the cultural roots and modern research interest around Sceletium (Kana) and Kava, plus ethical sourcing with Indigenous partners in South Africa. Together, they examine belief, habit loops, neuroplasticity, and practical daily rituals—without romanticizing shortcuts or ignoring safety. About the guests  : Dr. Laurette Willis — Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Christian Neuro-Coach; creator of Weight Loss Without Willpower and PraiseMoves. Focus: renewing the mind with Scripture and habit change tools. Robert Lattig — Founder, Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar; e-commerce herbal entrepreneur invested in farm-to-formula supply and cultural stewardship for Kana/Kava. Key takeaways: Renewing the mind is daily work: observe thoughts, interrupt the loop, replace with truth-based affirmations (e.g., 2 Corinthians 10:4–5; 1 Corinthians 6:12). Bilateral stimulation (simple left-right passing of an object) can help disrupt craving pathways when paired with a boundary statement. Neuroplasticity supports lasting change when beliefs, behaviors, and body cues align—awareness before action. Kana/Kava are discussed for calm focus and emotional regulation; any use should be informed, legal in your region, and medically supervised if you take prescriptions. Ethics matter: honoring plant origins means fair employment, local reinvestment, and transparent sourcing—not extraction. A sustainable ritual: combine a 2-minute thought audit, bilateral reset, and a values-aligned affirmation; if exploring botanicals, start with education and clinician guidance. How to connect with the guests:   Dr. Laurette Willis: Free mini-course — http://christianweightlosskit.com/ , free gift for listeners, "The Faith-Fueled Weight Loss Blueprint." It comes with a Downloadable Guide and Mini-Course Training video for women of faith who feel stuck in the cycle of overeating and regain.   Robert Lattig: Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar (first-time offer mentioned in episode) Educational only.

Get More Done Scripting Your Life Date: October 15, 2025 | Episode: 5204 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What if the boring, scripted life you've been avoiding is exactly what gives you freedom? Scott tackles the biggest lie we tell ourselves - that structure kills spontaneity. Spoiler: it's the opposite. From planning spontaneous Saturdays with his wife to stacking back-to-back calls at 6:45 AM, he reveals why the most exciting lives are built on predictable routines. You're already a goal-seeking machine. Time to use it right. Featured Story Scott's wife isn't spontaneous. At all. If he wants a fun Saturday, he has to announce it in advance. "Honey, we're having a spontaneous Saturday." She needs to plan for it. It sounds wacky. He fights it every step of the way. But here's the thing - she's onto something. Her scripted approach means less stress and more control. Scott learned this the hard way after years of resisting structure. Now? He knows his Monday schedule two weeks out. When the dermatologist asks what time works, his answer is simple: "Anything. I know my Monday." Important Points Your eyes are goal-seeking machines that naturally take you wherever you point your attention, which is why billion-dollar companies fight for your focus every single day. Structure doesn't kill freedom - it creates it. The minute you script your life is the minute you control it instead of letting everyone else control it for you. Process beats outcome goals every time. Focusing on daily habits and systems keeps you moving forward even when the big goal feels impossible or hits a plateau. Memorable Quotes "The minute you get some structure in your life is the minute you get all the freedom you want." "You are a goal setting machine. Whatever direction you point your attention is where you're going to go." "When I do it for myself, for what I want to do, I'll stick to it all day long." Scott's Three-Step Approach Script your day in advance. Know what you're doing and when you're doing it so you can actually control your time instead of reacting to everyone else's agenda. Focus on the process, not just the end goal. Get excited about the daily habits that move you forward rather than obsessing over the finish line that's still months away. Be flexible on your terms. Structure doesn't mean rigid - it means you know what you're doing well enough to adjust when life happens without losing control completely.

What if improving your marriage didn't require more time…but simply shifting how you use the time you already have?In today's powerful conversation, I'm joined by Micaiah Gray, host of the United Christian Marriage Podcast and coach for high-achieving Christian wives who want their marriage to feel like a true team.We're talking about how overworking or wasting time in business actually steals from your marriage—both in the quantity of time you have together and the quality of how present you are when you're with your spouse. Micaiah unpacks why knowing what it's time for (and pausing to process your emotions and shift your thoughts before they run wild) can transform not just your schedule, but also your marriage connection.If you've ever wished your time together felt more intentional, meaningful, and joy-filled, this episode will show you how small moments—like expressing gratitude—can deliver maximum impact and a high ROTI (Return on Time Invested).I have a feeling her insight on what's the most impactful choice you could make for your marriage will challenge and encourage you to take your next step today.

Let me tell you the most expensive hire you'll ever make—it's not the one with the highest salary. It's the wrong person you keep around too long. And if you think you can turn a C-player into an A-player with your already maxed-out schedule—you're living in a Disney movie, not running a business. Welcome, Pivoter! Today we're talking about A-players—why your small business can't afford not to hire them, how to attract them without corporate budgets, and why tolerating C-players is the fastest way to tank your team and your sanity. April shares a story about a client whose new hire made a $100,000 mistake—and the hard truth that followed: leadership is not optional. If you want to scale, grow, and protect your bottom line, you must learn how to identify, nurture, and protect your A-players.

Captain Preet Chandi MBE is a world record breaking explorer, former British Army officer, and physiotherapist. She served in the Royal Army Medical Corps for 16 years before embarking on groundbreaking polar expeditions. In 2022, Preet became the ninth woman in history to ski solo to the South Pole, and the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition on the continent. Less than a year later, she set out on her next adventure, breaking two Guinness World Records for the longest solo unsupported one-way ski expedition, both for a woman and overall, covering 922 miles in 70 days. She returned to Antarctica in December 2023 to set her fourth world record: the female speed record to the South Pole, completed in 31 days, 13 hours, and 19 minutes. Preet's expeditions are driven by her mission to inspire others to push boundaries. She champions the message that everyone starts somewhere, and that no matter your background or starting point in life, you are capable of breaking barriers and redefining what's possible. In 2025, she established her Community Interest Company, Adventure is Ours CIC, which supports expeditions that promote education, inspiration, climate awareness, and diversity in exploration. Through the CIC, she also delivers outreach, mentorship, and school visits to empower people of all ages. In 2022, Preet started delivered her school talks across the UK, reaching more than 18,000 students. That same year, she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Her achievements have been widely recognised: she received the ‘Inspirational' and ‘Woman of the Year' awards at the inaugural Women in Defence event in 2022, was named ‘Explorer of the Year' in 2023, and in 2025 was awarded the prestigious Geographical Award by the Royal Geographical Society.

n our conversation with Ridgeline High School volleyball coach Jaicee Roden, one principle came through loud and clear: the athletes who rise to the top are the ones who learn to eliminate distractions.Coach Roden, who has led some of Utah's most competitive volleyball programs, shared how she's seen the mental side of sports evolve in the age of constant connection. “Kids today have bigger battles with social media,” she said. “They're not always sure why they're doing what they're doing anymore.”She pointed to Dr. Craig Manning's book The Fearless Mind and its formula for high performance:Potential + Training – Distractions = Performance.“The elimination of distractions is everything,” Roden explained. “The athletes who can build a better relationship with eliminating distractions are the ones who become elite.”That's a perfect example of the E4A principle Win the Hour — the call to be intentional with our time, to focus on what matters most in the moment, and to do what needs to be done rather than be pulled away by what doesn't.Coach Roden helps her players identify their distractions — from phones and social media to something more subtle, like perfectionism or self-doubt. “We don't realize that our own hyper-criticism can be a distraction,” she said. “Good isn't bad — but good is never great. If we want to be great, we have to rise above good.”Her players use mental performance tools like Dr. Manning's High Performance Journal to stay focused on their tasks — not their ego. “Task orientation,” she explained, “is when we know our role and we complete it, no matter how we feel. Ego orientation is when we think, ‘How does this make me look?' The more we focus on the task, the more we grow.”Coach Roden's approach reminds every athlete that greatness isn't about doing more — it's about doing what matters most, free from distraction. As she said, “Perfection isn't an option, but progress is.”So, how can you “Win the Hour”? Identify your distractions. Make a plan for when you'll train, study, and rest. Focus on your tasks, not your ego. And above all — keep your eyes up to the work.####Especially for Athletes:• Website: https://e4a.org• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EspeciallyForAthletes/• X: https://x.com/E4Afamily• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/especiallyforathletes/• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmbWc7diAvstLMfjBL-bMMQJoin the conversation using #TheSportlightPodcast####Credits:Hosted by Dustin Smith & Shad MartinProduced by Shad Martin and IMAGINATE STUDIO

That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.Improving mental health care requires a fresh approach, one that goes beyond treating symptoms to address root causes. That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.One key element of their success is SohoMD's ability to identify overlooked issues in patients who are thought to be “treatment resistant.” Instead of relying solely on prescriptions, the team looks deeper to uncover problems like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid dysfunction that mimic mental health conditions. “A good portion of people thought to be treatment resistant aren't resistant at all—they just need a more thorough evaluation,” Jacques shared.The results speak for themselves. Jacques revealed that over 80% of patients in this group see significant improvements under SohoMD's care. These outcomes, combined with their emphasis on addressing both biological and psychological factors, have led to increased patient satisfaction and trust.Now, SohoMD is ready to scale its innovative model across the country. To accelerate its growth, the company is raising funds on WeFunder, inviting the public to join this mission-driven journey. Jacques emphasized the importance of aligning with investors who prioritize patient care over profit. “We wanted to invite the community to be part of this process…where the clinical goals of helping patients achieve true improvement always come first.”This episode highlights the transformative potential of holistic mental health care. By addressing root causes and involving the community in its growth, SohoMD is setting a powerful example for how health care can—and should—be done.tl;dr:SohoMD provides holistic mental health care, addressing root causes like nutrition and hormones alongside symptoms.Dr. Jacques Jospitre explained how their approach improves outcomes for “treatment resistant” patients.Over 80% of these patients see significant improvements under SohoMD's thorough care model.The company is scaling rapidly across the U.S. and raising funds via WeFunder to expand further.Jacques shared his superpower of simplifying complexity and tips for developing this critical skill.How to Develop Simplifying Complexity As a SuperpowerJacques described his superpower as the ability to simplify complex ideas and take action on them. He shared, “I think my superpower is taking things that are very complicated and simplifying them and taking action on it.” This includes connecting ideas across diverse fields like neuroscience, functional medicine, and business to build practical, effective solutions. His innate curiosity and love for learning have allowed him to integrate knowledge into SohoMD's holistic care model, creating meaningful change for patients.Illustrative Story:Jacques shared how his superpower emerged early in life through his diverse interests and connections. He reflected on his ability to build friendships across different backgrounds and perspectives, serving as a bridge between people who might not otherwise connect. This skill helped him foster collaboration and empathy—qualities he now uses to unite disciplines and create patient-centered mental health solutions at SohoMD.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Develop self-awareness through practices like meditation or journaling.Pursue diverse interests with genuine curiosity.Build empathy by forming connections with people from different backgrounds.Focus on integrating knowledge into actionable solutions.By following Jacques' example and advice, you can make simplifying complexity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this continuation of the Building Better Developers interview series, Kevin Adelsberger—owner of Adelsberger Marketing—returns to explore how businesses can refine their identity and message once the foundation is set. This episode focuses on branding and marketing fundamentals, uncovering what really drives connection, credibility, and growth. “Thinking about your brand and overall messaging is more important than color or font,” Kevin explains. “If your brand feels disconnected, no color will fix that.” The conversation moves beyond logos and design to the deeper work of communicating who you are and what you stand for—authentically and consistently. Branding: More Than Color and Fonts While many companies spend hours perfecting color palettes, Kevin challenges that mindset. He believes color psychology is largely a myth, with few industries where color directly affects success. Instead, businesses should focus on how their messaging and visuals align. Fonts, he adds, do have power. The right typeface can instantly signal tone—formal, playful, or high-tech—but only when used intentionally. “If you want to be a fun, crazy brand and your visuals feel stiff, no amount of color will fix the disconnect.” A strong brand reflects alignment: visuals, tone, and message working together to create trust and recognition. Keep Your Message Steady, but Your Website Fresh Kevin offers a balanced approach to maintaining your digital presence. Instead of obsessing over analytics or daily edits, he recommends structured consistency: Review your website monthly or quarterly for updates or broken features. Keep messaging steady, but stay alert for functionality issues like broken forms or outdated information. Focus on inbound marketing—making sure your brand is ready when customers come looking—then turn attention to outbound efforts like networking and content creation. “Most people never look at their website after it launches—that's a bigger problem than over-tweaking it.” Once your brand identity and message are established, spend more time sharing your expertise rather than endlessly adjusting pixels. Marketing Fundamentals for Beginners For entrepreneurs and small business owners who feel lost, Kevin recommends a few key resources to master branding and marketing fundamentals: Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller — Understand how clear messaging connects you with customers. EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey — Learn business and marketing principles from a leadership perspective. The Four Conversations by Blair Enns — Explore how to sell through consultative, relationship-driven discussions. Kevin also emphasizes simple, actionable steps: Define your competitive advantages and what makes you different. Create a one-liner that captures who you help and how. Avoid generic stock photos—real people and stories build trust. Feature your leadership team online; authenticity builds credibility. Learn from Competitors—Ethically Healthy competition can inspire innovation. Kevin encourages learning from peers and even collaborating with them. He participates in groups like the Bureau of Digital, a network of agency owners who share ideas without direct competition. “Artists steal,” Kevin jokes, “but the goal is to make other people's ideas better, not to copy them.” For those in established industries, he suggests finding professional or ownership groups—places where you can share, learn, and grow together. AI's Impact on Marketing and Creativity The conversation inevitably turns to artificial intelligence. Kevin views AI as both a tool and a threat—a resource that democratizes creativity while also reshaping industries. He points out the uncertainty around copyright, authenticity, and ethics, but admits that ignoring AI isn't an option. His team meets weekly to test new tools and evaluate where they can help. “We use AI to assist us, not replace us,” Kevin says. “It helps us work faster, but not everything it creates is ready for prime time.” From generating first-draft website content to creating AI voiceovers when budgets are tight, Kevin shows how these tools can fill gaps—without losing the human touch. Staying Grounded in a Changing Landscape Despite new technologies and shifting trends, Kevin's message remains timeless: strong branding is built on clarity, consistency, and authenticity. As the conversation wraps up, he reminds listeners that tools may evolve, but trust remains the core of every successful brand. “Stay human, stay honest, and keep refining your foundation.” A Little Background Kevin Adelsberger is the founder of Adelsberger Marketing, where they create work that grows their clients' businesses, in a culture that values their team and the Jackson, Tennessee, community. After founding in 2014, Kevin went on to be a co-founder of Our Jackson Home and host its podcast from 2015 to 2019.  In 2016, Kevin was recognized as an emerging leader by Leadership Jackson. Then, in 2017, Adelsberger Marketing was named the Emerging Business of the Year by the Jackson Chamber. In 2019, Adelsberger Marketing sold partial ownership to Alexander, Thompson, and Arnold, CPAs. In 2020, Union University recognized Kevin with the Distinguished Achievement in Arts and Media award.  Kevin currently serves on advisory committees for Leadership Tennessee and Jackson State Community College and is a board member for theCO in Jackson, Tennessee.  He also hosts a podcast about business in West Tennessee called 40×45.  Kevin lives in Jackson with his wife and business partner, Renae, and their two children. They are active foster parents and are involved members of First Baptist Church, Jackson. They are also some of the few to cheer on the Minnesota Vikings from below the Mason-Dixon line. #Skol Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

President Trump's so-called "100% tariffs" on China weren't some patriotic flex, they were the globalist trigger for the biggest crypto bloodbath ever, flushing $19 billion in leveraged longs down the drain while BlackRock vampires and their Mossad whales shorted the market for billions, leaving 1.6 million goyim traders ruined and suicidal in the rubble. But amid the carnage, where Bitcoin cratered 21% to $101K and altcoins got eviscerated 80-99%, J Proof stood unbreakable under my iron grip, proving it's the only fortress against these Rothschild engineered resets designed to centralize control and crush the decentralized dream for their endless fiat hell. Donald Trump waltzed into the Knesset like a whipped dog, boasting about funneling American bombs to Netanyahu's diaper army while Miriam Adelson's blood money keeps him leashed for the Greater Israel land grab. This spectacle, complete with Huckabee's "Sweet Home Jerusalem" crooning, is just the latest humiliation ritual proving Washington's a Zionist occupied hellhole, bleeding our sons for Talmudic demons hellbent on the Third Temple and Antichrist.

8 Common Sense Rules You Can't Avoid October 15, 2025 | Episode 5203 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What if life came with rules you could just accept and move on? Scott dives into eight unavoidable truths that successful people need to hear. These aren't the kind of rules you break or bend. They're the ones that make life easier once you stop fighting them. From passion to frustration to that big picture you keep losing sight of, this episode cuts through the noise. You'll walk away knowing exactly which battles aren't worth fighting. Featured Story Picture this: Scott's sitting at his favorite coffee shop on Beach Street in Daytona, enjoying a perfect latte on a beautiful day. He's done with work. Life is good. Then it hits him. He hasn't recorded the podcast yet. The very one you're listening to right now. So he hops on his motorcycle and rides all the way back home to hit record. And the irony? He's about to talk about life's unavoidable rules and the speed limits we all face. Sometimes you want to relax at a coffee shop. Sometimes life has other plans. Important Points Following your passion doesn't guarantee immediate money, but it guarantees happiness while you figure out the money part. The road ahead will get rough, then smooth, then rough again—and that's true whether you take the easy path or the hard one. You're never going to eliminate frustration, but you can choose to be frustrated and excited at the same time. Memorable Quotes "Nothing will ever happen until you move from daydreaming into daily action." "Whatever path you thought you would travel, it's going to change." "Once you understand this, here's what happens. Suddenly all this stuff just kind of takes less precedence in your life." Scott's Three-Step Approach Accept that your calling is just the first step, not the complete plan—five years from now, you'll wonder how you got there, but you'll love it. Check your speed limit regularly and pace yourself—hustle culture isn't always what it's cracked up to be, but neither is sitting around doing nothing. Focus on where you want to look instead of getting buried in daily frustrations—they're both always going to be there anyway. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I've learned—releasing control and trusting God completely.     As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we'll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead.     In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God's will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give.     Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn't clear. This isn't about giving up—it's about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.    

Acting is weird, brutal work. Fargo star William H. Macy breaks down why desperation makes great art — and how he finally learned to act at age 60.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1223What We Discuss with William H. Macy:Character is defined by action, not words or backstory. What you do reveals who you are, making desperation and relentlessness compelling on screen.The best actors are bulletproof against criticism of their craft because they commit fully to their choices without seeking approval or worrying about being flattering.William didn't truly learn to act until his 60s on Shameless. Getting his 10,000 hours taught him to drop baggage and focus only on what's essential in the moment.Really look and really listen. This simple technique transforms performances because genuine attention makes others self-conscious and creates authentic reactions.Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Happiness comes from accepting who you are and doing what you're naturally good at rather than fixing every flaw.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
