From ditching processed foods and seed oils to resistance training and hydration, Mac shows how daily habits protect focus, raise resilience, and help you finish strong.If you lead a business, a nonprofit, or a church, you'll leave with a blueprint to restructure your team, a repeatable way to develop leaders, and a personal plan to sustain the energy leadership demands.

If you've ever wondered why good relationships quietly fade, this conversation will change how you lead, sell, and show up. We sit down with speaker and author Barb Betts to unpack a simple truth: relationships don't fail overnight—they drift when we stop being intentional. Starting with the inner game, Barb reframes self-doubt and imposter syndrome as signs you're stretching into growth, not proof that you're a fraud. By 85, you'll spend roughly 44 million minutes with yourself; the way you speak to you becomes the template for every other connection.We move from mindset to method with Barb's VVR factor: visibility, vulnerability, and relatability. Show up consistently, be human without oversharing, and find a real point of common ground. Then apply a Relationship Operating System that ranks your most important people, sets a contact cadence, and uses the five by five method—five genuine, no-ask messages to five people a day—to prevent drift. Barb shares a personal story of nearly losing a 24-year friendship and how simple, consistent touchpoints would have saved months of hurt.• redefining self-doubt and imposter syndrome as growth signals• VVR factor: visibility, vulnerability, relatability• preventing drift with a relationship operating system• five by five daily outreach method with no asks• ranking relationships and setting contact frequency• why everyone is in sales because sales is influence• building trust accounts and making deposits before withdrawals• making people feel known, not just counted• where AI helps and where it can't• practical tools: CRM, sheets, top 100 listSales leaders will appreciate her broader frame: sales is influence, and everyone sells. The goal isn't how many people you know; it's how many feel known by you. That shift boosts referrals, deepens trust, and turns your name on someone's phone into a call they can't wait to answer. We also get practical about tools—CRMs, Google Sheets, even AI for drafting and organizing—while drawing a hard line where tech can't replace a voice note, phone call, or handwritten card.If you're ready to stop relying on “let's get together soon” and start building relationships before you need them, this episode offers a playbook you can use today. If it resonates, follow Barb, send those five messages, and tell us who you're reconnecting with.

Coach and author Quinn Harwood joins us to unpack the Power of You, a practical path for zillennial leaders who crave meaning, impact, and confidence that lasts. We dig into his coaching fable, Growth Time, where each stop on a life journey mirrors a growth zone leaders must face, from escaping Uville's ego traps to choosing a weekly mindset that actually moves your mission.Quinn doesn't preach from the podium; he shares from the trenches. He opens up about the highs of pro basketball and the lows of losing a long-time role and walking through a painful divorce. Out of that life quake came structure, purpose, and a mantra he now coaches every week: mindset changes behavior. You'll hear how Monday Movers, his free mindset ritual, helps leaders replace doom scrolling with deliberate focus, turn confidence into a practice, and show up for hard conversations with clarity and conviction.We also explore how faith, service, and legacy shape uncommon leadership. Quinn carries his father's charge—help others help others—into every chapter of his work, translating purpose into daily habits: early training sessions to prime the mind, simple commitments that stick, and consistent shots taken when the game gets tight. If you're a mission-driven professional who wants more than metrics, this conversation offers a clear, doable roadmap to build real confidence, align ambition with values, and lead with impact.Subscribe now, share this with a friend who needs Monday momentum, and leave a quick review so more mission movers can find the show. Then tell us: what mindset will you commit to this week?
I used to go to meetings where we spent 5 minutes on sobriety and 55 minutes shooting the breeze. The truth? I liked it that way. In this video, we expose the 'Good Old Boy' network and why comfort is the enemy of real change. In this episode, Jay and Lori dive into the "soft accountability" trap that many men fall into. Jay confesses how he used to whitewash his relapses and how his accountability partners—including a church leader—failed to challenge him because they were struggling themselves. We discuss the "Good Old Boy Network" in recovery and why "nothing but grace" can actually be a form of enabling. In this video, we cover: - Why "passive accountability" is often worse than no accountability at all. - The "24-Hour Rule": Why Jay requires addicts to tell their wives about slips within 24 hours. - Why sobriety breeds sobriety and the importance of a mentor with long-term freedom. - The role of the church in addressing addiction and domestic abuse.

Slowing down is supposed to feel calming. For many women, it does the opposite.In this episode, Leah explains why rest can increase anxiety instead of relieving it, especially for women with a history of dieting, overtraining, chronic stress, or living in constant pressure.
