Book Title: Wild Ride: A Short History of the Opening and Closing of the Chinese Economy Author: Anne Stevenson Yang Headline: Central Government Seeks Control Amid Economic Booms and Crises After the economy grew "out of control" in the 1980s, the central government, fearing a Soviet-style breakup, implemented "golden projects" for control over customs, taxes, and information. Following the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, China recapitalized its banks by creating four asset management companies to buy bad assets, effectively injecting massive cash into the economy. This unleashed an explosion of wealth, shifting the Chinese people's aspirations toward getting rich. 1958

Does your life feel out of control? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, angry, and resentful, and no matter how hard you try to be nice, or kind, or considerate, you only end up feeling worse? Dear One, that is no accident, as you will learn in this incredible breakthrough episode podcast.  Before Lisa A. Romano was diagnosed with codependency, she lived her life prioritizing others' needs, unaware that her lack of self-awareness, her inability to put herself first, or even to have her needs recognized, was rooted in trauma and missing information. Once Lisa was diagnosed with codependency and learned from an intuitive therapist that she was the adult child of unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, and possibly even dry alcoholics, the wheels in her mind started to turn. From there, Lisa hit the books and the ground running, consuming every book and mentor she could to help her unwind her mind from self-loathing, hypervigilance, negative self-talk, insecurity, and deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. By adding new data into her data bank of self-understanding, through a ferocious and tenacious will, slowly Lisa's entire inner self-perception began to shift, and like a Rubik's cube, her life started reorganizing itself.  Lisa A. Romano is the first to tell you that healing is ugly, terrifying, and lonesome, and she will also ask that you accept the quest despite this, because it is the only way to break through the thick matrix caused by generational trauma. If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or if you were raised by toxic, narcissistic, wounded, immature, or codependent parents, or if you grew up in what seemed like a normal family but felt emotionally neglected, this podcast episode will resonate with you.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with alcoholic parents. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. You feel stuck, angry and like your life is out of control. Ache to understand yourself, and how your subconsicous mind controls your emotions, reactions, thinking, and your expectation all outside of conscious awareness.  ✨ Pro tip: Understanding how your childhood has impacted how you 'think' today, how you 'react', and what you expect to occur in your life is you activating metacognition. Childhood trauma resides at the subconscious. Lisa's methods help you breakthrough! Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, psychologist approaved, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents.

Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Aishwarya Iyer, Founder & CEO, Brightland – Aishwarya draws parallels between her personal journey as a new mother and entrepreneur, and emphasizes the importance of belief and mindfulness in the growth of and success of Brightland.

She closes with advice on avoiding comparison and noise, encouraging entrepreneurs to periodically unplug from social media to reconnect with their vision and the reasons that they launched their companies.  Brands in this episode: Brightland, Aura Bora, Tip Top Cocktails

Guest: Lulu Ge — Founder & CEO of Elix Healing (elixhealing.com), holistic health entrepreneur, Inc. Female Founder 200, and advocate for women's hormone health. From Early Hustles to Harvard Boardrooms: Lulu's first entrepreneurial spark: selling bulk Snickers bars door to door as a kid in California, learning about “arbitrage” before knowing the word. Grew up in an immigrant household that highly valued education (her parents lived through China's Cultural Revolution, when universities were closed). Corporate Climb and Burnout: After earning degrees from UC San Diego, Columbia, and Wharton, Lulu built a career in management consulting and corporate transformation—eventually managing a $350 million portfolio at Saks Fifth Avenue/Hudson's Bay. Burned out and failed by traditional healthcare for her periodic, debilitating pain (once bled through her wedding dress, missed work for hormonal issues), Lulu rediscovered her family's Traditional Chinese Medicine roots—which became a foundation for her business. The Elix Healing Story: Frustrated by a healthcare system that “medicates symptoms instead of rooting out causes,” she consulted TCM doctors and, inspired by her grandfather (a hospital director in Hunan, China), realized the potential of herbal medicine for holistic hormone support. Launched Elix (2020) as the first digital menstrual wellness platform to blend 5,000 years of TCM with clinical research, offering personalized herbal formulas and online health assessments. The assessment even includes submitting a tongue photo—used by TCM to diagnose internal health. Impact & Growth: Hundreds of clinical trials and pilot tests inform Elix's formulas; real-world results show >90% of users report symptom improvements in the first month. Expanded from remedies for period pain to support PCOS, fibroids, perimenopause, digestion, sleep, and immunity. Elix now offers virtual coaching with TCM practitioners and educational resources on their blog/social channels. Community of 100,000+ followers, recognition in Forbes, Vogue, and Inc, and cited in multiple clinical and women's wellness studies. Advice and Philosophy: Healthcare should be holistic and personal: There's no “one-size-fits-all” solution—bio-individuality matters (what works for one may worsen symptoms for another). “Periods are a report card for your health”—you shouldn't have to accept pain and exhaustion as normal. Founding Elix was about democratizing access to ancient (yet evidence-based) healing, empowering clients to be their own advocates, and rebalancing performance and self-care in the modern world. Even for those not ready to try Elix, Lulu encourages small holistic actions—like getting a few minutes of sunlight on waking, or using deep breathing and gratitude to start your day.

Her leadership has earned her numerous honors, including Iowa Master Farmer, Monsanto's Farm Mom of the Year, and induction into the FarmHer Hall of Fame.In our conversation, April shares:How she balances technology investments with a used machinery strategy.Why conservation practices have been non-negotiable on her farm.How serving in leadership roles at the state, national, and global level influences her farm decisions.What she's learned from 40 years of running a farm as both owner and operator.Why building strong marketing skills is one of the best returns on investment for any farmer.We also lighten things up with a rapid-fire “Would You Rather” segment—revealing whether April prefers harvest or planting, beef or pork, and if she'd rather talk to animals or speak every human language.Whether you're interested in leadership, conservation, technology, or marketing, this episode offers inspiration and practical takeaways from one of the most respected voices in agriculture.

Today we start a new series called Hands and Feet.  Today's message is "The Way He Grew."  We learn what the Bible says about the ways Jesus grew from baby Jesus to a fully grown adult who became our Savior.  This growth was not just physical development -- join us to see the other ways Jesus grew! 

To see whether you have a healthy, biblical view of Jesus, turn to Luke 2:52, which says He grew "in favor with God and man." Today, Sinclair Ferguson explains how this passage shows the true humanity of our incarnate Lord.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cary Carbonaro. A certified financial planner and author of Women and Wealth. 1. Guest Introduction: Cary Carbonaro Certified Financial Planner with 25+ years of experience. Leads a multimillion-dollar financial planning practice. Focuses on empowering women and increasing financial literacy. Promoting her second book: Women and Wealth. 2. Why Cary Wrote the Book To share her 25 years of experience working with women. To address the lack of female-friendly practices in the financial industry. Key stat: “By 2030, women will control two-thirds of the nation’s wealth—$30 trillion.” 4. Challenges in the Financial Industry Industry built by men, for men. Not ready for the shift in wealth ownership to women. Harvard Business Review (2009): “Financial services is the least sympathetic to women and has the most to gain if they get it right.” 5. Financial Planning Philosophy Everyone deserves a financial plan. Quote: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Financial planning includes: Risk management Cash flow Tax strategy Investments Retirement Estate planning 6. Making the Industry Female-Friendly Women often leave their financial advisors after a spouse dies (80% of the time). Reasons: lack of connection, poor communication, feeling ignored. Not a DEI issue, but a dollars and cents issue: “What other industry would ignore a $30 trillion opportunity?” 7. Stereotypes and Societal Expectations Women face pressure to look attractive in professional settings. Stereotypes persist in media and even in AI-generated images. Example: AI generated a man when asked for an image of a financial planner with long hair. 8. Cary’s Personal Journey Inspired by her father, a JPMorgan Chase executive. Grew up learning about money and finance. Built her business by focusing on women, not traditional male-dominated marketing. Quote: “Money equals power, and women need more of both.” 9. The Wealth Gap Beyond the wage gap, the wealth gap is driven by caregiving responsibilities. Termed the “good daughter/spouse penalty.” Lifetime cost to women: $1 million. 10. Call to Action Women should seek financial literacy and independence. Encourage planning before crisis hits. Quote: “Wealth gives you choices in life.”

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with Sam Parr, founder of The Hustle, My First Million, and Hampton, to break down how he built and sold one of the biggest email-based media companies in the country. Sam shares how he grew The Hustle by writing viral blog posts on Reddit and converting that traffic into email subscribers, why he focused on building reach through a newsletter when everyone else was chasing social media, and the simple revenue model that made the company so profitable before selling to HubSpot. We also dig into how he's now building Hampton, a thriving community for entrepreneurs at scale. Key Highlights: How Sam used viral blog posts on Reddit to drive traffic and convert readers into email newsletter subscribers The monetization model that turned The Hustle into a multi-million-dollar company through sponsorships and ads Why he bet on building reach through an email newsletter instead of chasing short-lived social media attention How Hampton creates curated peer groups and why operational excellence is critical to running communities at scale The pitfalls of chasing outside funding too early and how Sam thinks about businesses that compound over decades Sam's story shows that you don't need complicated models or venture capital to build something big… You need a great product, a smart distribution channel, and the discipline to keep it simple.
