You've probably heard the advice a hundred times: "just find clients with more money." Cool. Super helpful. But if that were all it took, you wouldn't still be sending $500 invoices.Here's the truth nobody talks about: the size of your paycheck has almost nothing to do with the size of the company you're working with. It has everything to do with the size of the problem you're solving.In this episode, Joey and Christy break down exactly how to make the shift from cheap clients to higher ticket clients - and the one mindset shift that unlocks scaling your creative business.Here's what they cover:Why bigger paychecks come from bigger pain points - not bigger companiesThe difference between low-stakes and high-stakes content - and how to tell which one you're being hired forHow to identify revenue-driven industries that actually have budget to spendWhy pitching outcomes instead of deliverables is the key to closing higher-ticket dealsHow to position yourself as a problem solver - not just a content creatorOnce you start chasing painful problems instead of pretty projects, everything changes - your invoices, your clients, and your confidence walking into every pitch.P.S. This is exactly the kind of strategy we build inside the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind - helping creative entrepreneurs go from low-ticket work to running full 6-figure businesses with high-value clients.Round 15 just kicked off with an incredible group of creatives already in motion.

Do you catch yourself making excuses by saying "Yeah, but..."? It's time to ditch the victim mentality and take radical ownership. About This EpisodeJoin Simon Severino as he interviews Kerry Siggins, CEO of the 100% employee-owned global powerhouse, StoneAge. Carrie shares the core philosophy behind her book, The Ownership Mindset, explaining how true leaders accept that things happen *because* of them, not to them. She also previews her upcoming book, Talk with Trust, revealing why trying to "be polite" and soften the truth is actually a toxic habit of managing other people's emotions. Learn how to deliver kind, direct feedback, and discover how to achieve ultimate life and business "coherence" by defining exactly what you are *not* available for.

Do your workouts actually need to leave you exhausted to be effective? In this episode, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness world: the idea that harder always equals better. We dive into how smart programming, appropriate intensity, and well-designed training challenges can drive real results without burning you out. We also discuss how fitness challenges should be structured to promote consistency, not punishment—and why sustainable habits matter far more than occasional extreme effort. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to train smarter long-term, understanding how to balance effort, recovery, and progression is key. Throughout the conversation, we share practical insights on training intensity, building programs that actually work, and creating a lifestyle that supports health, performance, and longevity at any stage of life. Because the goal isn't to survive your workouts. The goal is to build a system you can stick with for years. Tune in to learn how to train smarter, stay consistent, and make fitness a sustainable part of your life.

Most creatives think the answer is just working harder. More hours, more shoots, more hustle. But if your business looks the same as it did a year ago, the problem isn't your effort — it's what you're doing with it.In this episode, we're breaking down the real reason creative businesses stay stuck, and it has nothing to do with talent. We cover three shifts that actually move the needle — why you can't get consistent results from inconsistent marketing, why the old playbook stops working as the industry evolves, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make as a creative business owner.If your Feb 2026 looks a lot like your Feb 2025, this one's for you.——Want to build a 6-figure business foundation with us in just 6 weeks?Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are open… and they close this Wednesday.Round 15 starts March 15th.If your creative business still feels like you're guessing your way through pricing, offers, marketing, and sales, this is exactly what the Mastermind was built to solve.Inside the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, we work with photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and creators to install the real systems behind a six-figure creative business.

In today's Q+A, we break down practical training strategies for busy adults who want real progress without burning out. We discuss why starting with just 2–3 days per week can be more effective than chasing perfection, how tiny deposits in your health compound over time, and what actually matters when designing a sustainable program. We also dive into smart progression strategies, how to adjust your training when dealing with injuries, and why safe recovery doesn't mean stopping altogether.

Kids change everything—including your marriage. In this episode, we unpack one of the most overlooked pillars of a healthy life: your relationship with your spouse. Between children under five, demanding careers, sleep deprivation, and nonstop responsibilities, it's easy for communication to slip and connection to feel strained. We talk honestly about how parenting impacts marriage, why "spouse time" doesn't look the same in every season, and how small, intentional acts of love can make a massive difference. We dive into practical strategies for having hard conversations, adapting your expectations, prioritizing intimacy, and building communication as a skill—not something you're either "good at" or not. We also discuss how mental health and self-care directly affect relationship resilience. Because showing up well for your marriage starts with showing up well for yourself. If you're in the thick of parenting and wondering how to protect your connection in the chaos, this episode will give you practical tools—and reassurance that you're not alone. As always, change doesn't happen in one big moment. It's built in the small ways you keep showing up for each other.

Welcome to The Profit Talk! In this show, we're going to help you explore strategies to help you maximize profits in your business while scaling and creating the lifestyle that you want as an entrepreneur. I am your host, Susanne Mariga! I'm a CPA, a Fractional CFO, and a Certified Profit First Professional Mastery Level providing tax strategies to 7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs. Let's dive into strategies to maximize profits in your business!  In this episode of The Profit Talk Show, host Susanne Mariga welcomes Kevin Steuer, founder of StockTA. Kevin is an entrepreneur and technical trading educator who helps investors use algorithm driven trend analysis to make disciplined, process driven investment decisions in individual stocks and ETFs.  Together, we explore how entrepreneurs can strategically invest their Profit First cash reserves while managing risk in volatile markets. Kevin breaks down how to remove emotion from investing, build a repeatable trading process, and use technical analysis tools like trend scores, support and resistance levels, and stop losses to protect capital and reduce drawdowns.  This conversation is packed with practical strategies for business owners who want to grow wealth outside of their companies without gambling their hard earned profits.  What You'll Learn in This Episode:  ✅ What Algorithmic Technical Analysis Really Means – How price, volume, and momentum are translated into measurable signals through structured equations.  ✅ Understanding Trend Scores – How StockTA assigns numeric scores to identify bullish and bearish setups.  ✅ The Power of Confluence – Why multiple signals lining up at the same price level increases probability.  ✅ Support, Resistance, and Stop Losses – How to define exit points in advance to limit downside risk.  ✅ Avoiding Common Investor Mistakes – Why overconcentration, chasing losses, and trading without a repeatable process can destroy capital.  Memorable Quotes: 

In this Q+A episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we're answering real listener questions about some of the most common fitness frustrations—tight hamstrings, hip pain, pregnancy workouts, balancing running and lifting, and whether you can truly build muscle with just dumbbells at home. We break down why "tight" hamstrings often aren't a flexibility problem at all, how strengthening muscles in a lengthened position can improve mobility, and why hip control across multiple planes of movement matters more than endless stretching. We also dive into smart training adjustments during pregnancy, how to manage recovery when increasing intensity, and how to balance strength training with running without burning out. If you're training at home with limited equipment, feeling stuck with nagging hip or hamstring issues, or navigating fitness through a new season of life, this episode will give you practical, actionable guidance. As always, the focus is on consistency, smart progression, and building strength that supports real life—not comparing your journey to anyone else's. Because progress isn't built in one perfect workout—it's built in the ways you keep showing up.

If you're a busy parent trying to lead by example, stay consistent, and find support along the way, this conversation will resonate. As always, change isn't built in one big moment.

Most people think self-trust is something you feel once you've healed enough, regulated enough, or grown enough.It isn't.In this episode, Denise breaks down why self-trust isn't emotional — it's behavioral. It's built through follow-through, especially when discomfort shows up after the decision. She explores what steadiness looks like in leadership, relationships, and everyday life — and why not everyone will recalibrate when you stop overfunctioning.If you're tired of negotiating with what you already know, this conversation is your line in the sand.

In this Q+A episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we're tackling real-life fitness questions from busy moms and lifters trying to make progress without perfect conditions. We dive into practical macro tracking strategies for moms who don't have time to weigh every gram, how to find motivation postpartum when routines feel impossible, and simple meal ideas that make healthy eating sustainable (yes, yogurt bowls make the list). We also break down workout splits, why flexibility in your training matters more than perfection, and how small tweaks—like foot positioning on leg curls—can improve muscle activation and results. This episode is about adapting your fitness approach to your current season of life. Whether you're navigating postpartum recovery, juggling kids and career, or just trying to stay consistent without burning out, we'll help you simplify the process and focus on what actually moves the needle. As always, progress isn't built in one big moment—it's built in the small decisions you repeat consistently.

The health and fitness space is changing fast—and not all of it is for the better. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle break down the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications, the explosion of peptide marketing, and the growing influence of social media on how people make health decisions. We talk honestly about what these tools can and can't do, why quick fixes are being sold as long-term solutions, and how misinformation spreads when integrity takes a back seat to engagement. This isn't about fear or shame—it's about becoming a smarter consumer in an industry that often profits from confusion. We also introduce and reinforce the L5 Method—training, nutrition, mindset, movement, and habits—as the foundation that no medication, supplement, or trend can replace. Along the way, we discuss caffeine use, community and environment, and why foundational health practices still matter most if your goal is sustainable progress. If you've felt overwhelmed by health trends, unsure who to trust, or curious about where modern medicine fits into a healthy lifestyle, this episode will help you zoom out, think critically, and refocus on what actually moves the needle.

Most people think emotional sobriety is about feeling regulated. It isn't.In this episode, Denise G. Lee explains why emotional sobriety is a structural system—not a mood state—and how identity, boundaries, and internal authority determine whether you stay grounded or unravel under pressure.This conversation pairs with the original article, Emotional Sobriety Is a System, Not a Mood, which you can read here:

In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh Scutnik and Joelle Cavagnaro dive into practical training questions that come up all the time—but rarely get clear answers. We break down kettlebell training fundamentals, how to improve your pull-ups the right way, and why progressive overload still matters no matter where you're starting from. We also talk through how to adapt workouts to individual needs without losing effectiveness, including common mistakes people make when substituting exercises or relying too heavily on banded reps. Along the way, we share some behind-the-scenes insight into how The Fitness League app is evolving, how community feedback shapes programming decisions, and why tracking habits—not just workouts—can be a game changer for consistency. This episode is all about training with intention: understanding why you're doing what you're doing, focusing on proper form, and building strength in a way that actually carries over to real life. Whether you're working toward your first pull-up, learning kettlebells, or just trying to train smarter—not harder—this one's for you.

Cold plunges. Saunas. Vibration plates. Electrolytes. Mobility routines. Everyone has an opinion—but what actually moves the needle? In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle play a round of Smash or Pass with some of the most talked-about health and fitness trends right now. We break down what's worth your time, what's overhyped, and what depends entirely on you. Along the way, we cover the fundamentals that never go out of style—why protein matters for recovery and strength, why fiber is still wildly under-consumed, and when electrolytes actually make sense. We also talk through cold exposure, sauna use, Zone 2 cardio, mobility work, and macro tracking, with real-world context instead of blanket advice. This episode is about cutting through the noise, understanding your individual needs, and building a health approach that's effective, sustainable, and actually enjoyable. If you've ever wondered whether the latest trend is a game-changer or just good marketing—this one's for you.

If your daughter has ever said "I suck" after a game and you had no idea how to respond, this one's for you.

In today's Q+A episode, we're answering real questions from real people navigating the messy middle of fitness. From finding the right running shoes and training through injuries, to preserving muscle during fat loss and staying motivated when progress slows—this episode covers a wide range of challenges that almost everyone faces at some point. We talk about why progress often looks different for seasoned lifters, how and when to adjust your training style, and why small, realistic goals are often the missing piece for long-term consistency. We also dive into the role of nutrition during fat loss, how useful fitness trackers really are, and what to do when illness or setbacks derail your routine. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure whether you're doing the "right" thing—this episode will help you zoom out, adapt intelligently, and keep moving forward without starting over. As always, the goal isn't perfection—it's progress you can actually sustain.

Waiting to feel motivated is one of the fastest ways to stall progress. In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh and Joelle break down why showing up—even when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or off-schedule—is often the most powerful move you can make. We talk about the mindset shift behind "doing it tired," why flexibility beats perfection in every season of life, and how confidence is built through small, repeatable actions—not flawless routines. This conversation is for anyone who feels like life keeps getting in the way of their health goals and is tempted to check out entirely because they can't do things "right." We also share how the foundational principles of health don't change—only how you apply them does—and why adapting your approach is a strength, not a failure. Along the way, we introduce how The Fitness League was built to support real people navigating real life, not ideal circumstances. If you've ever felt like you're behind, burned out, or barely holding it together—this episode is your reminder that progress doesn't require perfect conditions. It just requires showing up.

The world feels loud, chaotic, and overwhelming—and a lot of people are waiting for something big to change before they feel better. In this episode of The Fitness League, we break down why that approach keeps us stuck, and why real change almost always starts with the smallest possible decisions. We unpack how tiny, repeatable choices shape behavior, identity, and eventually the culture inside your home and community. From decision fatigue and environment design to self-talk and leadership by example, this episode reframes change as something practical, controllable, and deeply impactful—even when the bigger picture feels out of reach. Rather than chasing motivation or grand gestures, we explore how designing your environment, simplifying decisions, and aligning daily actions with who you want to be can create a ripple effect far beyond just your own health. This conversation is about reclaiming agency, protecting your energy, and understanding how bettering yourself is one of the most meaningful ways to better the world around you. If you've felt helpless watching the state of the world—or frustrated that nothing seems to be working—this episode will give you a grounded, empowering place to start.
