In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Nathan Sosa dive into a recent Tax Court case that's turning heads in the tax community. They break down how a taxpayer's DIY tax returns spiraled into a full-blown IRS audit, with the IRS reconstructing income through bank deposits, uncovering significant underreported receipts, and disallowing deductions when documentation couldn't be produced, including depreciation tied to rental properties. But the wildest part? The defense relied on AI-generated, hallucinated Tax Court case citations that didn't actually exist. It's an expensive lesson in why AI isn't ready to be your CPA and why “close enough” recordkeeping can get you crushed when the IRS starts asking questions. If you're investing in real estate, running a business, or leaning on AI for tax answers, this episode is a must-listen on why bookkeeping, documentation, and competent representation matter more than ever.

If you've ever felt like you no longer recognize yourself after being cheated on, this episode is for you. We dive into the neuroscience of betrayal trauma to explain why logic often fails when your survival program takes over. We explore the three main parts of this biological response: The Amygdala: Your internal "smoke detector" that becomes hyper-sensitive to every perceived threat. The Prefrontal Cortex: The "CEO" of your brain that gets locked out of the building when the alarm goes off. The Hippocampus: The "filing clerk" that drops the files, making past trauma feel like it's happening right now. Understanding these biological shifts is the first step toward stopping the self-judgment and finding your way back to safety. Ready to rebuild your sense of reality and find safety again? I work directly with clients to help them regulate their nervous systems and move forward.

Not following up because you don't want to be annoying? In this episode, I unpack the uncomfortable truth about why most business owners avoid follow-up… and how that single habit is quietly capping their income.If sales feels awkward, desperate, or “not your thing,” this is going to challenge you.Because what if the problem isn't confidence?What if it's leadership?In this episode we talk about:• The subtle lie that keeps you from following up• Why “If they wanted it, they would buy” is dangerous thinking• The difference between service and desperation• The used car salesman mistake (and how not to be that person)• The two components every follow-up system must include• Why silence doesn't mean no• How avoidance creates feast-and-famine cyclesA question for you:If someone walked into a Michelin Star restaurant and the waiter never came back because they didn't want to be annoying… would that be good service?Or neglect?That reframe changes everything.Follow-up isn't chasing.It's guiding. It's holding the frame. It's setting expectations. It's leadership.And without it, you are handing control of your cash flow to other people's inboxes.If you've ever:• Sent one email and hoped for the best• Avoided following up because it felt uncomfortable• Wondered why sales feel inconsistent• Hit an income ceiling you can't seem to breakThis episode is for you.

In this Live in the Tribe session, I dive into some real-world questions around diet soda and muscle growth, water intake, and the truth about peptides. I break down whether crushing multiple diet sodas a day is actually hurting your gains (and what it really says about your nutrition setup), why I don't count coffee or tea toward water intake, and why hydration is one of the most overlooked performance tools in fat loss and muscle building.We also get into the controversial stuff: peptides, hormone optimization, big pharma, and my honest take on earning the right to even consider those tools.

LDS Mission Podcast Episode 242: How to Know If You're Making Progress is all about answering a question I hear all the time from missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms: How do I know if the internal work I'm doing is actually working? When growth is emotional, mental, and spiritual—like confidence, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, or self-trust—it can feel invisible. In this episode, I talk about why progress isn't about making fear or insecurity disappear, but about changing your relationship with it. I share a powerful reframe that applies on the mission, after the mission, and throughout life: progress is not the absence of fear—it's how you respond when fear shows up. I walk you through four clear indicators of internal progress, including having less self-judgment and more compassion, increased willingness to feel emotions, faster emotional recovery time, and the ability to interrupt old mental patterns before they spiral. These tools help you measure real growth when goals aren't easily trackable. If you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or worried that you "should be further along by now," LDS Mission Podcast Episode 242: How to Know If You're Making Progress will help you recognize the meaningful internal shifts you may be overlooking and trust the work you're doing—even when growth feels slow or unseen. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

I had a realisation a few years ago that stopped me in my tracks.I was spending my entire week growing my clients' businesses.And mine was staying exactly the same.No leads. No pipeline. No sales that weren't referrals.I was delivering my best to my clients …Pushing my own marketing block back to deliver client projects. Saying yes to inconvenient, disruptive meeting times, Pretzeling my calendar around everyone else's priorities.I called it being professional. Having integrity.But truthfully, it was more than that.It was people-pleasing. And if I'm honest — enjoying feeling needed.But it cost me.I was exhausted. Snappy. Constantly stressed about money, despite being “busy.”And then one day it hit me:No one was coming, and nothing was going to change if I didn't change it. If my business was going to grow, I had to lead it.Your clients will always need you. Your team will always need you. But your agency needs you too — not just as the doer, but as the CEO.That realisation changed everything.I started implementing boundaries around my systems. I restructured our offers. Our team. Our marketing.If you're honest, you probably know what you should be doing for your business.But client work feels louder. More urgent. More justified.So marketing gets postponed - not because it's unimportant, but because it's invisible… until it's a problem.That's exactly what I talk about in the latest episode.If this feels familiar, this one's for you.Want More?DM "CEO" on Instagram: @annelisewornDownload the 6-Figure Freelancer Guide: https://a.anneliseworn.com/6ffBook a Free Strategy Call: anneliseworn.com/consult

In Episode 235, Love's Pure Light, I'm sharing the Christmas message that has been resting on my heart this year—one centered on light, love, Jesus Christ, hope, burdens made light, and the unique divine light within you. As I've rehearsed with Millennial Choirs and Orchestras this season, one lyric from Silent Night has stayed with me: "Son of God, love's pure light." This episode explores what that really means for missionaries, returned missionaries, and families navigating the highs and lows of December. We'll talk about light as a noun, light as an adjective, and light as a verb, and how Christ's light continues to guide, lift, and illuminate our personal paths. I also dive into how your own divine light—your gifts, traits, personality, and spiritual DNA—are meant to shine, not shrink. Christmas can be heavy. Expectations run high. Darkness feels real. But the beauty of Christ's birth is that His light not only fills the world, it fills you. We explore how to receive His light, share it, lighten burdens (your own and others'), reconnect with joy, and allow yourself to shine in the unique way Heavenly Parents designed you to shine. My hope is that this episode gives you a moment of peace, clarity, and warmth during the holiday rush. Whether you're navigating missionary work, coming home from the mission, preparing to leave, or holding down the fort as a missionary mama — may you feel loved, lifted, and lit from within by love's pure light.

What if you could start a profitable podcast and personal brand before you ever quit your 9–5?In this inspiring episode of the Second Act Success podcast, Shannon Russell talks with Francesca (Fran) Stone, founder of 9 to 5 Mom with a Pod—a podcast and consulting platform that helps mom content creators launch personal brands and grow with purpose.Fran shares how her winding career path—from talent agent to paralegal—gave her the business, sales, and people skills she now uses as a full-time entrepreneur. After becoming a mom, she realized her demanding legal career no longer fit the life she wanted, so she started her podcast as a side hustle, monetized it through consulting and affiliates (not sponsorships!), and eventually quit her job to work for herself… all while caring for her toddler at home.If you're a mom who dreams of starting a podcast, growing a brand, or leaving your 9–5 to work online, this conversation will show you what's possible—without a massive audience or going viral.Key Takeaways:Every job prepares you for entrepreneurship How Fran's past roles in admin, accounts receivable, talent representation, and law all gave her skills she now uses in branding, sales, and running her business.Building a business while still in your 9–5 How she tested her idea, validated demand, and stacked part-time income before quitting her job, plus what she put in place financially to make the leap.Running a business with a toddler at home Real talk on routines, support from her husband, working in focused 20-minute pockets, and swapping scroll time for CEO time.You don't need to go viral to make money Fran proves you can monetize with around 2,000 followers if you have a strong brand, clear offers, and a nurtured audience.SHOW NOTES:https://secondactsuccess.co/227Connect with Francheska Stone:https://9to5momwithapod.com/https://9to5momwithapod.com/podcast-episodes/Tell us what you think and what you want to hear on the podcast!You are listening to the Top 2% globally ranked podcast Second Act Success!CONTACT Shannon and share your feedback about what you'd like to hear on the podcast! https://secondactsuccess.co/contact Book a FREE Strategy Call with host and business coach Shannon Russell - https://www.calendly.com/second-act-success/coaching-strategyWork with Shannonhttps://secondactsuccess.co/coaching FREE Resourceshttps://secondactsuccess.co/resources READ Shannon's Book - Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life https://startyoursecondact.com.

In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Nathan Sosa sit down with cost segregation expert Edward Griffith to break down what investors really need to know about cost segs—why engineering-driven, in-person studies deliver superior results, and how relying on cheap or software-only reports can quietly cost investors tens of thousands and increase audit risk. You'll learn: - What a cost segregation study actually is, why it matters, and which properties generate the biggest ROI - Why in-person, engineering-driven cost segregation consistently produces higher ROI and stronger IRS defensibility than software-only reports - How the timing of a study (including pre- and post-renovation) affects your tax strategy and bonus depreciation opportunities - What the full cost seg process looks like from start to finish, and how to ensure deductions actually show up on your tax return To become a client, request a consultation from Hall CPA, PLLC at go.therealestatecpa.com/3KSEev6 Subscribe to REI Daily & Enter to Win a FREE Strategy Call: go.therealestatecpa.com/41JuQBX Get the Year-End Tax Checklist: go.therealestatecpa.com/4pj63id The Tax Smart Real Estate Investors podcast is for general information purposes only and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal, or accounting advice.

How long? What have you tried?”)Booking visit 1 and visit 2 on the first callThe triple-confirmation system with a forced-choice text2️⃣ Kept Appointment Percentage (KAP)The systems that keep patients consistent:Custom-fit schedulingMini re-reports with x-ray visualsWeekly compliance reportsFull appointment mapping on day twoCompassionate leadership that resets commitment3️⃣ The Re-Exam Index (REX)How to stop patients from quitting before their first re-exam:Table talk that forecasts the next milestoneLeading patients through “the mode” when pain fadesPractical scheduling that prevents patients from falling behindBuilding team leadership through the DCCA book clubThese three systems plug the biggest leaks and turn happy patients into long-term patients.

In Episode 233 – Not So Happy Mission Memories, I'm diving into a topic I know so many missionaries and returned missionaries quietly carry: the moments from the mission that didn't feel joyful, spiritual, or "life-changing" in the way we were told they would. In this episode, I talk openly about disappointment, unmet expectations, mission culture, emotional complexity, grief, and the real challenges that come when people—including mission presidents, companions, district leaders, roommates, or members—don't show up the way we hoped they would. I also share more about the new article I wrote for the Church and why this emotional work matters so deeply, especially with the recent age-change for sister missionaries. I walk you through five gentle but powerful themes for healing: finding safe support, grieving unmet expectations, exploring your inner narrative, understanding others through compassion, and offering yourself the same gentleness that the Savior offers you. Together, we'll talk about reframing your mission experience, processing emotions instead of avoiding them, navigating disappointment, creating new meaning, and how faith, agency, and emotional resilience help you move forward with confidence. Healing doesn't mean condoning what happened—it means reclaiming your power, your peace, and your future. Whether you're freshly returned, years post-mission, preparing to leave, or supporting someone who served, this episode will help you feel seen, validated, understood, and reminded that transformation often comes through the messiest parts of our story. You are not behind. You're not broken. And you're never alone as you sort through your not-so-happy mission memories. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
