Brett had a drug dealer's car for 13 days. By day 11, the death threats started coming. This is the reality of building ServiceUp, the "DoorDash for auto repair." Brett literally stole DoorDash's entire playbook—city launches, three-sided marketplace, everything—but discovered even if he got 90% right, 10% of B2C customers can end you. He raised from Tiger just as the firm exploded. The DoorDash partnership that seemed like salvation turned into their worst nightmare. But then they pivoted to B2B and saw their average order value grow 5x overnight."Work-life balance is BS.

In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Susan Smetzer-Anderson sits down with J. Richard Middleton, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Worldview and Exegesis at Northeastern Seminary and Roberts Wesleyan University. With decades of scholarship spanning theology, philosophy, and cultural analysis, Middleton offers a compelling exploration of what it truly means to hold a Christian worldview—and how that concept has evolved, been misunderstood, and often distorted over time.Drawing from his seminal work The Transforming Vision (1984) and his forthcoming book Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws: The Christian Worldview in a Conflicted Age, Middleton challenges listeners to move beyond tribalism, cultural conformity, and rigid doctrinal packages. Instead, he invites us to embrace a biblically rooted, lived orientation toward the world—one that is shaped by grace, community, and spiritual formation.Topics include:The difference between worldview as a lived orientation vs. a set of ideasHow cultural norms have overtaken biblical foundations in many churchesThe role of deconstruction and reconstruction in spiritual growthWhy diversity in Scripture points to a deeper unityPractical questions to help uncover and reshape your worldviewWhether you're a student, pastor, educator, or curious seeker, this episode offers rich insights into how we see the world—and how Scripture invites us to see it differently.

What does it mean to live a life with purpose or dharma?Beyond symptom management, Ayurveda and Yoga point us toward transformation. A connection to spirit that sustains true health.In this episode, host Myra Lewin explores three foundational practices of dharmic living: yagna (sacred offering), daan (generosity and circulation), and tapas (discipline and transformation). These are daily practices that shift our intention from self-fixing to self-offering and help us let go of the idea we're broken and need to be fixed in the first place.Through personal stories and reflections, Myra shares how these practices reshape our relationship to food, resources, discipline, and devotion — opening the doorway to our eternal Self.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Ayurveda and Yoga are about transformation, not just symptom reliefHow yagna turns simple routines into sacred offeringsThe deeper meaning of daan as generosity of heart, knowledge, and presenceHow tapas strengthens your inner fire for sustainable growthWhy all three together create lasting joy, balance, and connection that help us growPerfect for anyone ready to move beyond “band-aid” approaches to healing and embrace the fullness of Ayurveda and Yoga as a path of service and spirit.Ready to bring Ayurveda into your life - and guide others do the same?Join our free wisdom session with Myra Lewin on October 1 at 8 p.m. (Bali time).You'll learn our simple framework to become an Ayurvedic Health Counselor without uprooting your life to India and explore how your healing journey can become a path of service.Thanks for tuning in to the Everyday Ayurveda and Yoga at Hale Pule podcast.

When I first started in property management, things felt very different to how they do today. You didn't really connect with the agency down the road, and you certainly didn't sit down with other property managers for a coffee and a chat. Everyone was guarding their rent rolls, and it was more about competing than sharing.The problem is, working that way can feel pretty lonely. Property management is already a tough job, and without a support network it's easy to burn out or feel like you're the only one facing certain challenges.Thankfully, we're starting to see a real shift. More and more property managers are opening up, collaborating, and building communities that make the work lighter, smarter and far more enjoyable.In this episode I chat with Corinne Forsyth, Head of Property Management at Ray White Beenleigh and Redland Bay, who has been right at the centre of this change. Starting out on the front desk at just 16, she's worked her way through just about every role in the industry. Now she leads a team of 10 and plays an active part in creating spaces for property managers to connect from local “Coffees and Conversations” meetups to a brand new industry book club. “  You can get further in life by working with people rather than constantly being pitted against each other, because that's a pretty miserable way to have a career.” - Corrine ForsythWe cover:Why collaboration over competition in property management is helping to lift industry standards and reduce burnoutHow to host a Coffees and Conversations event that brings property managers together and builds a supportive local networkThe retention benefits of encouraging your property management team to network, learn and grow outside the officeHow Corinne's experience in sales and overcoming burnout shaped her confidence and leadership in property managementWhy consistent property management training and external voices can improve your team's performance and client serviceHow the PM Book Club is creating a new space for property managers to connect, share ideas and focus on self development.Practical BDM strategies that free up time, improve data collection and drive sustainable rent roll growthWhy business owners need to see property management as the true asset of their agency and how this mindset shift can increase long term value.Kylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/

Where are you giving your power away—and how can you take it back? In this powerful solo episode, our very own Jessica Gill explores one of the most foundational themes in manifestation: maintaining self-worth in the in-between. She explores why self-doubt often shows up as the “final boss” before your next level, how the uncomfortable middle ground is actually preparing you to hold the new, and the small ways you can build confidence by showing up for yourself daily. From unblocking hidden fears of unlikability to shifting perfectionism into self-compassion, this conversation will remind you that your power and magic have been with you all along, and even the most challenging moments serve as an initiation to meet them.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips (with exercises by Jessica Gill) Coming October 21st!Pre-Order NOW Join the Pathway MembershipUse code EXPANDED for 20% off your first month!Join our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge Now Live! The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now - to get full access to our 2025 Money Challenge and join the Pathway (use code EXPANDED for 20% off first month) New to TBM?

What if the missing piece in your spiritual journey isn't more meditation apps, rituals, or retreats—but something as practical as spiritual intelligence? In this enlightening and surprisingly fun episode, Will & Karen sit down with Dr. Yosi Amram, licensed clinical psychologist, CEO leadership coach, best-selling author, and pioneering researcher in the field of spiritual intelligence. With roots in mystical Judaism, Buddhism, Kundalini Yoga, and the Diamond Approach, Yosi bridges ancient wisdom and modern science to show how spirituality can actually be lived...right here, right now. From gratitude practices that shift your heart in seconds, to reframing life's red lights as blessings in disguise, to uncovering your evolving sense of purpose, Yosi provides listeners with both timeless insight and practical tools they can start using today. Along the way, expect plenty of laughs, like what happens when Will compares spiritual bypassing to Monty Python's “it's just a flesh wound” moment, or when Karen presses Yosi on who really has the higher spiritual intelligence.

It's about small, conscious choices that deepen self-awareness, expand compassion, and connect you to a sense of purpose, while making daily life a whole lot more peaceful (and even joyful). What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat spiritual intelligence really is, and how it differs from emotional intelligence or mindfulnessThe 22 timeless spiritual qualities that traditions across the world all agree on (like gratitude, humility, and service)Practical, bite-sized ways to grow your spiritual muscles daily, without adding “3 hours of meditation” to your calendarHow suffering, trust, and purpose weave together in the journey of spiritual growthWhy our personal awakenings ripple outward into healthier relationships, workplaces, and even societiesThe inconvenient truth about spiritual growth that nobody wants to hear, but absolutely needs toResources & Links MentionedTake the Free Spiritual Intelligence Assessment: AwakeningSI.orgYosi's Award-Winning Book: Spiritually Intelligent Leadership (available on Amazon & major booksellers)Learn More About Dr. Yosi Amram: YosiAmram.netReady to Raise Your Spiritual IQ?

I didn't grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers. I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.In this episode, I'm walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I've seen take people out of business if they don't happen.And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn't realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn't hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame. But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.You'll hear me talk about:What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in businessHow shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growthWhy getting a job isn't a failure, and how I reframed safetyThe moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelingsSix shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue foreverIf you're stuck, rushing, or on the edge of burnout… this episode is your lifeline.Work with me: → Apply for private coaching.

Learn how to stay aligned without needing external validation or approval.You know you're aligned.You've done the work.But others still aren't sure.In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks one of the most emotionally charged aspects of recalibration: holding conviction when others who love you can't yet see what you see.You'll learn why waiting for consensus creates unnecessary hesitation, how your nervous system processes relational projection, and why ILR equips you to hold alignment when well-meaning people offer opinions rooted in their own calibration, not yours.Julie shares her personal story of walking through others' uncertainty while building Identity-Level Recalibration itself — and how staying anchored to vertical clarity allowed her to continue moving forward without defensiveness or guilt.In This Episode, We Cover:The emotional cost of holding alignment when others don't understand your growthWhy others' concern often reflects their nervous system safety, not your misalignmentConviction vs. compassion: why clarity must leadILR's identity-first model vs. leadership optimization or relational coachingJulie Holly's personal ILR build story — leading in the absence of external validationSting's recalibration journey (The Police to solo career)Why conviction doesn't require arrogance — but does require vertical alignmentThe danger of softening your call to maintain temporary comfortToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself:Where have I been quietly waiting for others to validate what I already know?Where have I softened my own conviction to avoid their discomfort?Reframe: Their understanding isn't required for my obedience.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

You'll hear how ILR differentiates attachment recalibration from disconnection, and why this phase is often misread as personal failure rather than identity integrity.You'll also learn how to recognize relational shifts as part of your expansion, not a sign that you're losing people or sabotaging connection.In This Episode, We Cover:How identity recalibration naturally shifts relational proximityWhy discomfort doesn't always signal relational breakdownThe nervous system process of attachment recalibrationILR differentiation: identity-rooted relational shifts vs surface-level conflict managementJulie Holly's personal story of navigating shifting relationships during growthWhy long-standing connections may feel different without any explicit conflictThe danger of self-blame and shame during identity shiftsHow understanding the recalibration process brings grace and stability to growthToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself:Where am I trying to maintain connection by downplaying who I'm becoming?Where am I feeling low-grade tension in relationships — not because of conflict, but because of growth?Reframe: Alignment creates space.

It started in a closet-sized home office, armed with nothing but a laptop, a vision, and a deep empathy for the healthcare industry—an empathy rooted in his own experiences as a patient.

Speaking from his own experiences, as well as insights and stories from his latest book, Breakup on Purpose, you'll hear why John sees breakups as not just painful endings but meaningful rites of passage that can offer space to learn and evolve. Listen and Learn:Breakups, while painful, can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth when approached with reflection and ownershipShifting how we view breakups from failures to “expired relationships” helps us embrace healing and rewrite the narrative around endingsHow to balance knowing when to work through relationship challenges versus when it's healthy to walk awayWhy breakups are a natural rite of passage and essential for personal growthWhy humility and self-reflection are essential but often difficult steps toward personal growthHealing from a breakup involves embracing the pain with compassion, finding purpose beyond the relationship, and transforming personal loss into growth and a greater meaningful journeyHow society places too much importance on romantic love as the sole source of meaning and fulfillment and elying on one romantic partner to fulfill all needs is unrealistic and sets people up for disappointmentBreakups have distinctive types that require different responses and healing strategiesHow to balance self-comfort with avoiding behaviors that hinder healing after a breakup by setting personal limits and gradually re-engaging with lifeThe importance of meaningful connection, whether through community, close relationships, or personal passions, as a vital part of recovery, especially for introvertsThe cycle of rupture and repair in relationships is essential, teaching us how to build deeper connection, resilience, and emotional safetyResources:John's Website: https://www.theangrytherapist.com/John's Books: Break Up On Purpose: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780063275331 Single On Purpose: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780062980731 Connect with John on Socials: https://www.facebook.com/john.kim.1650/https://www.linkedin.com/in/theangrytherapisthttps://www.instagram.com/theangrytherapist/Power of Discord by Ed Tronick and Claudia Gold: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780316488877 Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780807060100 About John KimJohn Kim, widely known as 'The Angry Therapist.'
