What if the thing holding you back is not the obstacle, but your inability to identify the real constraint? In this episode, Kevin and Alan walk through why people stay stuck when they solve the wrong problem. They discuss internal and external constraints, self-awareness, discipline, environment, goal alignment, and the level of execution required for meaningful progress.After thousands of episodes and years of coaching, Kevin and Alan have seen the same pattern again and again. Most people either lack the awareness to see the real issue or the consistency to do what the goal requires. Better results start with better diagnosis. Stop guessing, find the constraint, and build your life around solving it._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

What does it really take to create millionaires?Not one. Not two. Not ten.44 millionaires in just 3 years.In this powerful episode of Inside The Vault, Ash Cash sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, marketing strategist, and transformational leader Dion Coopwood to break down the exact principles, systems, mindset shifts, and faith-driven strategies that have helped create massive success for entrepreneurs across the country.From generating multiple million-dollar days to helping people unlock their purpose and potential, Dion shares the blueprint behind building wealth, influence, impact, and legacy.Inside this episode, you'll discover:• The mindset required to build wealth consistently • How Dion helped create 44 millionaires in just 3 years • Why marketing is the lifeblood of every successful business • The role faith plays in entrepreneurship and leadership • The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to scale • Why execution beats information every single time • How to build communities that produce real results • The systems behind multiple million-dollar daysIf you're serious about creating wealth, growing your business, maximizing your gifts, and building a lasting legacy, this episode is for you.

The answer lives beneath the excuse. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan examine why real progress starts with finding the constraint, not defending the symptom. Kevin uses a simple fitness and sleep example to show how quickly the mind reaches for easy labels, while Alan connects root cause analysis to coaching, performance, money, and relationships.With thousands of episodes and years of client work behind them, they make a grounded case for deeper thinking, clearer goals, and honest self-awareness. The goal is not to overthink. It is to think accurately enough to solve the right problem. Stop negotiating with symptoms. Find the root before it grows a personality._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

In today's episode, you'll discover: Half the game on LinkedIn is reactivating your existing network and knowing how to reach them. What an introvert does differently, and why the relationship-first approach works better for introverts than the "post every day and hustle" model? The absolute minimum effective dose of things to do on LinkedIn looks like for a busy leader, and what do you cut first when life gets full? To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Jill Rowley: "Before LinkedIn and other social networks, in the sales world, ABC stood for Always Be Closing. Now it means Always Be Connecting." About Natasha Walstra: Natasha Walstra is the founder of NearPoint Strategies and creator of the REALationship Growth Method. She helps business owners and sales professionals build authentic personal brands on LinkedIn that generate real business — without cold outreach or sleazy tactics. A former VP of Sales turned entrepreneur, Natasha has grown NearPoint to over half a million in revenue in just two and a half years using her own methodology. She's especially known for helping business owners who are great at what they do but hate the idea of selling themselves.

Have you ever had intrusive thought patterns that always seem to poison your mind? Something that almost doesn't seem like “yours”? If so, you're not alone. This podcast explores how we habitually “pick up” certain thoughts from the constant stream of mental activity. This concept is similar to choosing familiar foods at a buffet. He explains that mindfulness allows one to recognize unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and habits while encouraging honesty, self-compassion, and the willingness to change course. Through developing new skills, wise reflection, and mindful intentions, we can stop identifying with unfriendly thoughts and cultivate beneficial patterns of thinking and behavior.

If you've ever wondered, "Am I doing enough to help my kids build confidence, grit, and a strong mindset?" — this episode is for you. Here's the truth: most of the "mindset coaching" your kids receive won't come from a sit-down talk… it comes from how you handle stress, setbacks, and perspective shifts in real time. (Yes, even when they roll their eyes.) In this episode, I'm breaking down: Why your kids are learning more from how you operate than what you say The simplest ways to rewire confidence at home (without turning your living room into a Tony Robbins seminar) The "excitement vs. nerves" reframe that can change performance for athletes and anxious teens The dinner-table question that builds courage (and makes failure feel safer) The mindset resources I trust most (books + coaches for athletes) Resources mentioned: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Atomic Habits The Power of One More by Ed Mylett Brian Cain (mental performance for athletes) Breanne Smedley (mental performance for female athletes)   Join the Energy Institute Today: https://info.theenergyexam.com/the-energy-institute Subscribe To My Newsletter: https://moira-kucaba.kit.com/ Learn more about MAKE Wellness Peptides:  https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=74249EEEC5 Learn more about becoming an Affiliate: https://themakeexperience.com/74249EEEC5 Follow Me On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moirakucaba/?hl=en Watch On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@moirakucaba5802 Free Resources: https://moira-kucaba.kit.com/freebielibrary

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down how self-belief shapes identity, learning, and long-term success. Kevin reflects on an old dream that once felt impossible and reveals the deeper lesson: most limits are accepted internally before reality ever tests them.They discuss fantasy, visualization, rumination, action, insecurity, and the role of better questions in real growth. Belief matters, but only when it turns into skill, consistency, and self-awareness. Belief opens the door. Skill keeps you from getting escorted out._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Send us Fan MailWhat if conscious leadership begins with the part of your life you keep trying not to own? In today's episode, we get honest about self-leadership, personal responsibility, conscious growth, and the quiet daily choices that shape who you become. Leadership is not reserved for people with titles, teams, platforms, or authority. It starts in the private moments, especially when pain, fear, old patterns, and resistance make the easier path feel reasonable.We look at what it means to lead yourself first, how unconscious patterns can keep dysfunction alive, and why one harder decision can shift the way you show up in your life, relationships, and future. Stop waiting for life to hand you authority. Become the person your next chapter can safely follow.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#510 | How to Cultivate a Conscious Leader's Mindset - https://apple.co/4uzFAPOLearn more about:

“Send Coach John a message”I found today's motivation tidbit from Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) where he reminds us about what success is really made up of.  Remember, we all have our own pieces of what success means to us.  "Success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment repeated every day." — “Jim Rohn Simple. Daily. Repeated. That's the formula.”  As I let this sink in a bit, it's easy for me to see that I have plenty to work on each and every day and I am grateful for the chance to keep getting better.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Strategy Isn't a Plan - and That Difference Could Change EverythingMost of the people I speak with on this show are smart, capable, and deeply experienced. And yet a surprising number of them are working without a clear strategy - not because they don't care about direction, but because no one ever explained what strategy actually is, and how it's different from the planning they do every single day.That's exactly what this conversation with Charlie Curzon is about.Charlie is a coach, strategist, and advisor with more than two decades of experience helping leaders, teams, and organisations think more effectively. His book, Be More Strategic: 12 Essential Practises to Build the Life and Career You Want, turns one of the most overused words in business into something genuinely teachable, practical, and personal.Three things we got into:✳️ Strategy is about choices in uncertainty - not a five-year plan. Charlie draws on Roger Martin's strategy cascade to show how winning aspiration, where to play, and how to win work together as a thinking triangle that sharpens decisions before you ever get to planning.✳️ The Strategy Mastery Framework is a four-level circular model built from years of working with real leaders in business, sport, and the military. It begins with self-awareness - because state precedes strategy - and builds through open-mindedness, strategic skills, and the ability to bring others on board.✳️ Being strategic isn't just for work. Charlie makes the case that surfacing assumptions, asking "what if," and tracking how those assumptions shift over time are daily practises that apply just as well to life as to any boardroom decision.Charlie's amplifiers:✳️ Read The Go-Giver by Bob Burg - a short, parable-style book about generosity of spirit that Charlie credits with reinforcing the relational approach behind much of his work.✳️ Track your energy, not just your time. Based on Jim Loehr's book On Form, Charlie recommends keeping a three-day energy diary - logging what gives you energy and what drains it - to uncover patterns and improve your capacity for clear thinking.✳️ Journal daily, ideally with pen and paper. Even a couple of minutes. Charlie does it twice a day and notes the growing evidence that handwriting engages the mind differently to typing. If you're ready to go deeper, try journalling through a values lens.If this conversation got you thinking about how you're making decisions - at work or in life - then I'd love it if you took a moment to follow or subscribe. That way you'll never miss an episode, and it helps me keep bringing guests like Charlie to the show.Timestamps:00:00 - Preview: the winning aspiration00:38 - Welcome and guest introduction01:49 - Charlie's world: a typical week03:12 - Strategy vs planning - what's the real difference?05:06 - Why strategy raises anxiety and planning feels safe06:54 - Roger Martin's strategy cascade: aspiration, where to play, how to win10:56 - Strategy as subtraction - ruling things out11:29 - The Game Changer Index and natural vs learned strategic thinking15:18 - The power of asking "what if?" and surfacing assumptions16:52 - The Strategy Mastery Framework explained19:33 - Level 1: self-awareness - state precedes strategy20:41 - Level 2: open-mindedness and critical thinking20:41 - Levels 3 and 4: future focus, influence, and collaboration21:51 - The testimonial story: senior leaders surprised by Level 124:03 - What separates those who thrive from those who bump along25:04 - Strategic capability under pressure27:16 - The CEO who had a strategy but didn't know it29:13 - The 12-month trap and what a longer horizon changes33:27 - Building a personal practise of strategic mastery34:45 - Living strategically - what that actually looks like36:44 - The Lego castle story: articulating a hidden aspiration38:00 - Tracking assumptions as a daily life practise40:08 - Journaling as a strategic tool41:12 - How Charlie builds his business - relationships first43:49 - Why content is for staying present, not finding strangers45:21 - Amplifier 1: The Go-Giver47:34 - Amplifier 2: On Form and managing energy not time48:08 - Amplifier 3: Journaling, values, and pen and paper49:24 - Where to find Charlie and upcoming masterclasses51:40 - Close and Bob's final CTAVisit Charlie's website. https://www.teammandarin.com/----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business BlueprintIt's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

Your brain runs a prediction machine that locks you into failure before you even try. In this episode, Tracy breaks down neuroscience research from Wendy Suzuki and Eric Kandel to reveal how basal ganglia habit loops keep you trapped in default patterns—and the exact neurological switch points where you can interrupt this script. Discover the productivity habits and mindset shifts that rewire your success blueprint. https://YourSuccessDNA.com Tracy breaks down the real neuroscience behind why personal development feels so hard — and why that difficulty has nothing to do with your discipline, your motivation, or your character. Drawing on peer-reviewed research from NYU neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki, Nobel laureate Eric Kandel, and psychiatrist Norman Doidge, Ace reveals how your brain's built-in prediction machine keeps you locked in the default version of yourself — and the precise biological mechanism that makes lasting change not just possible, but inevitable. From the basal ganglia's habit loops to CREB protein activation, dopamine as a learning signal, and the power of the five-second choice point, this episode delivers a science-backed roadmap for becoming the person your future requires.

Set to the tune ‘The Streets of Derry,' it tells of the distress the psalmist is facing, the weariness from calling out, and the request for God's face not to be hidden. The Psalm ultimately turns towards the hope that God will rebuild the broken people and that all will dwell in peace.Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionVisit the Celtic Psalms website for scores/books, mp3s, CDs, and videos for Save Me, O GodFind out more about the Habits for the Spirit course: an 8-week online course exploring habits and daily spiritual practices to promote wellbeing in body, mind, and spiritFollow Kiran's monthly reflections on Bless My FeetPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

Most coaches spend their careers shaping athletes. Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin spend theirs learning from them — and what they've found might change how you coach.Rustin and Elise write NY Times feature, The Peak for The Athletic, a section devoted to the mental side of elite sports. In this episode with JP Nerbun, they unpack what a year of "I Tried" journalism has taught them: Kobe's silence practice, Michael Phelps' freestyle journaling, Buzz Williams writing four to five letters a day, an Olympian who approaches every failure with childlike curiosity, and a reminder from David Ortiz about what it actually means to bounce back. The thread running through all of it: curiosity.For coaches who want to understand what's going on inside their athletes — and maybe inside themselves — before it becomes a problem.Chapters(00:00) Intro: JP on The Athletic's Peak(02:39) Ted Lasso's Real-Life Inspiration(07:41) Elise: D1 Swimmer to Peak Journalist(11:48) The Performance Info Gap(13:01) How The Peak Section Was Born(16:18) What The Peak Is Not(19:20) I Tried: Living Athletes' Habits(21:31) Silence, Emotions, and Journaling(23:13) How Athletes Find Their Rituals(25:41) Curiosity: The #1 Athlete Trait(26:41) Buzz Williams Letter-Writing(28:38) Gratitude and Failure With Curiosity(30:53) The Power of Saying Yes(35:59) The Pat Riley Conditioning Test(36:31) 17s Story: Hardship as ConfidenceTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."That feeling of somebody saying yes to me is so powerful.

"A million dollars a shot is my price. But I only take one a year. The rest of the time I maintain my skills." That was Francisco Scaramanga, the villain in The Man With the Golden Gun, played by the superb Christopher Lee. Who, interestingly, was a cousin of James Bond creator Ian Fleming and a regular golfing partner of his. Now, while I certainly wouldn't recommend following Scaramanga's career path, there's a valuable lesson in that line. The reason Scaramanga could ask such a high price was not because he worked all the time. It was because he spent most of his time practising, refining, and maintaining his skills so that when the moment came, he could perform at an exceptional level. And that brings us to this week's question, which is all about developing, and more importantly, maintaining, your skills at managing your work and your time.   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The COD Productivity Method  Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here   Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script |421 Hello, and welcome to episode 421 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  There's a belief, held by many, that becoming better at time management and productivity is something you learn once and then you're set.  Or all you need to do is buy the latest productivity tool and all your struggles disappear.  Hahaha, it's not quite so easy.  Theoretically, it may be possible to add a new app or use a new process for getting your work done. Unfortunately, life doesn't fit perfectly into the little boxes we create. There's always something different or new.  This is why the idea of plotting out every minute of your day on your calendar doesn't work in practice.  Simple, natural things are not always predictable. You don't know when you will need a bathroom break, or if a colleague asks you a question, or perhaps you spill your coffee all over your desk.  If any of these things happen when you have carefully mapped out every minute of your day, your day is ruined.  The missing pieces are flexibility and practice, and that is where this week's question comes in.  So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Kathy. Kathy asks, Hi Carl, I've recently taken your Time Sector System course and loved it. One thing that's worrying me, though, is that no matter how well I plan my week, by Tuesday, my whole plan is ruined. Do you have any tips on staying on plan when things become hectic? Hi Kathy, thank you for your question.  This is a common discovery. Once you know the theory, putting it into practice can show up bumps in the road that cause problems.  One of the first problems people face is changing habits. If, for instance, you've never planned a week or a day, getting into the habit of consistently doing so is hard.  After all, you've spent most of your life so far without having a plan; skipping a daily or weekly planning session isn't going to cause too many problems.  Yet when you are building your system, it's that skipping that causes a problem. The more times you don't do it, the longer it will take you to build the essential habits.  The goal is to use your new knowledge automatically. When you're processing your inbox, you instinctively know what to do. It's like there's a voice in your head asking the three questions: What is it? What do I need to do with it? When will I do it? When you start, asking these questions can be slow. You're naturally thinking too much. But when you've done it consistently for a few weeks, you think less, and you automatically move things to their rightful place.  Today, I can process an inbox of twenty items in less than 6 minutes. When I first started following this sequence of questions, though, it would easily have taken me twenty to thirty minutes. I was overthinking and learning patterns.  In one scene in The Man With the Golden Gun, Bond and Scaramanga are having lunch. The lunch begins amiably, but soon turns hostile. At one point, Bond reaches into his coat pocket to pull out his gun. The camera pans to Scaramanga, who is pointing his legendary golden gun at Bond.  The surprising thing here is that Scaramanga had to build his gun from a golden cigarette case, a lighter, a fountain pen, and a cufflink. All Bond had to do was pull his gun from his shoulder holster.  How was Scaramanga faster? Practice.  How many hours would Scaramanga have had to practice putting his gun together to get that fast?  I know, it's fiction. But the point is, you get faster the more you do something.  This is why people who continually switch apps are also consistently behind on their work. They remain stuck at being slow.  What's happening there is they have to learn new ways of getting things into their system, and then moving tasks, and learning all the new features. And that doesn't account for the time it takes to move everything over to the new app.  It's dead time. Instead, sticking with the apps you already have forces you to get better and faster at using them.  Then we come to the realisation that no two weeks are ever the same. No matter how carefully we plan something, things will inevitably go wrong.  This is where practice and experience come in.  I have a client who travels for work a lot. Sometimes he travels domestically; other times he travels internationally, often to the other side of the world, which involves 20 hours of flying time.  He found the Time Sector System worked brilliantly when he was working from his office, but it fell apart when he had to travel.  When we analysed the problem, we discovered that he was trying to run things the same way while travelling as he did at his office.  How many times have you booked a flight, found that WIFI would be available for the flight and thought, ah, I'll catch up on my email and messages when flying, only to discover that the WIFI doesn't work? Now, you could respond to your actionable emails while flying, but you won't be able to send them until you get into a WIFI zone. But that disruption to your plans can leave you feeling very frustrated.  The solution in this case was to have a travelling routine. On days when my client was travelling, he reduced his task list to the essentials. Rescheduling or postponing routine tasks  He also set up a routine for international travel, using the flight time to plan and clean things up. None of which required WIFI.  The first few times he used this new process, he found he needed to make adjustments, but after a few tries, he had it working perfectly.  And that's the key part. Build in flexibility.  In my client's case, it was not to try and follow the same system when travelling as he does when at the office.  When you plan your week, allow for the unexpected.  One way to do this is to ensure that, when you plan your week, you have time for the essential things. That would be your core work and the parts of your life you have decided are important. Time with family and friends, hobbies and exercise, for example.  Once you have those on your calendar, then really you have the beginnings of a solid plan that should be flexible enough.  Hopefully, you have already locked in your core work.  When I was a teacher, I had an hour each day protected for class preparation. I was teaching around four to five hours a day; those times were fixed each month and were non-negotiable. I had to be in the classroom teaching.  The class preparation time did change from day to day, but it was always there, and I tried to fix it around the same time each day, which made it much easier to make it a habit.  The unknowns often come from project work. Projects, by their very nature, are unique. Each one requires something different. You will find that while you may not be able to plan precisely what needs to be done at a weekly level, scheduling time to work on your projects each week will help ensure you have enough time to keep these moving forward.  If you've ever read Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, you will no doubt remember the chapter: Sharpen the Saw.  In the chapter, Stephen Covey uses the example of a wood cutter who's working so hard that they never stop to sharpen the saw. Over time, the time required to cut the tree increases, not because the woodcutter is getting weaker, but because the saw is becoming blunter.  Your time management and productivity skills operate the same way. Sometimes you have to stop and sharpen your skills.  For example, I use an iPhone, and every time Apple updates its iPhone operating system, I review my collecting methods to see if anything in the new software will make collecting faster.  For example, when Apple added the action button to their phones, it let me map that button to add tasks to my task manager's inbox. It's super fast, and after a few days it became automatic for me to tap the action button when I needed to add something.  The most productive people I know spend time improving their ability to produce. This is why athletes train, musicians practise scales, pilots rehearse procedures, and surgeons continually update their skills. The performance people see is only possible because of the preparation and practice nobody sees. This is also why the Scaramanga quote fits this question. His point was essentially the same. As he said: “The rest of the time I maintain my skills.” Scaramanga's version is darker, of course, but the principle is identical. Exceptional performance is not the result of the moment itself; it's the result of the time spent preparing for that moment. If you find that by Tuesday your plan for the week looks destroyed, allow for that when you plan your week.  One way you can do this is to plan your objectives.  What is it that you want to get accomplished next week? These could be: To finish an important proposal Get on top of your emails To clean up the garden  To exercise a minimum of four times To update your LinkedIn profile With these five objectives, you can then decide when you will do them.  One tip here is to front-load your week with these activities. This way, if you do get waylaid, there's still time to recover in the week.  This reminds me of a story from one of the world's top rugby coaches. When he joined a new team, he found that if the team got ahead early in the game, they invariably won.  However, when they went behind early on, the likelihood was they would lose.  When he analysed this, he found that the team panicked when they fell behind, dropped their plan, and spent too much of the game taking unnecessary risks to get ahead.  He reminded the team that it was an 80-minute game and that what really mattered was sticking to their plan.  Tackle aggressively, maintain their defensive line and minimise mistakes. If they stuck to that, they would likely end the game ahead.  You don't win games in the first twenty minutes. You win the game over 80 minutes. It's the same for you, Kathy; you don't win or lose the week early on. You win the week by sticking to your plan and making adjustments where necessary, without losing sight of it.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Habits - How to Upgrade Your Habits - Bishop Kevin ForemanSupport the show

The burden you avoid becomes the life you repeat. In this episode, Kevin and Alan talk about what people are really running from when success feels heavy, burnout feels normal, and escape starts looking like freedom. They get into responsibility, self-awareness, fulfillment, fear of judgment, and the danger of building a life around someone else's strategy. Because sometimes the problem is not your discipline. It is the direction you keep forcing yourself to follow. Look at the thing you keep dodging. It probably has your name on the lease._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

The most powerful longevity tool you have is not in a bottle or a needle. It's in the quality of your relationships. There's a body of data that's been saying this for decades. Yet, the wellness industry kept focusing on the other direction of wellness. Shawn knows this not only because he read it in a study but because he lived the opposite of what healthy relationships look like first and paid for it with his health. Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, the no.1 nutrition and fitness podcast in the United States, and the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter. He grew up in poverty in St. Louis, was told at 20 he had the spine of an 80-year-old, and rebuilt his health from scratch with no money, no access, and no roadmap for any of it. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Shawn makes the case that we have been optimizing the wrong thing all along. Your culture, your community, and the quality of your relationships are what the largest longevity studies keep pointing to, and almost nobody in wellness is talking about it. He also gets into why GLP-1s and peptides are a shortcut to the wrong destination, what circadian medicine is about to change, and why the healthiest thing you can do today has nothing to do with your supplement stack. If you have ever felt like your circumstances were too far gone for health to even be possible, this episode was made for you.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why better results do not fix broken systems. More money, more motivation, or a strong month can feel like progress, but if the inputs are not being tracked, the same problems eventually come back. Kevin shares a real coaching conversation about income, spending, and the blind spots that keep people stuck financially. Alan adds what he has seen after years of coaching people who say they want freedom but resist the structure needed to build it.Together, they make the case that tracking is not about restriction. It is about honesty, ownership, and performance. The result is not the solution. The system is. Track the truth before it starts tracking you._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

If you've ever ground away on a treadmill and wondered why the scale won't budge, this episode is for you. Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down one of the most persistent myths in weight loss culture: that exercise is the key to getting thinner. Decades of research say otherwise, and understanding why is one of the most liberating things you can do for your relationship with movement.In this episode you'll learn why exercise triggers metabolic compensation (your body is smarter than any fitness tracker), what Herman Pontzer's landmark research on the Hadza people of Tanzania revealed about calorie burn and physical activity, and why even marathon training rarely produces significant weight loss. You'll also learn why exercise IS one of the most powerful predictors of long-term weight maintenance once the weight is lost, and why that distinction matters enormously.Dr. Lisa also covers the surprisingly robust evidence linking regular movement to depression, anxiety, and stress relief. This includes research showing that exercise can be as effective as antidepressants and therapy for some people. She also walks through the behavioral science of actually building a habit that sticks, covering the Stages of Change, Self-Determination Theory, identity-based habits, and why motivation is the wrong thing to chase.Thanks for listening!

“I'm so passionate about creating a world where fraud is rare and trust between a member and their credit union is a given.” - Shanthi ShanmugamThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Shanthi Shanmugam, CEO of Casap. She joins me for this episode to discuss the winding path that took her from studying computer science at UC Berkeley to helping credit unions rethink one of the most stressful moments in the member experience: disputes.Throughout our conversation, Shanthi makes it evident that she is passionate about building technology that feels human. She shares stories from her time at Facebook and Robinhood, including the moment when she realized that she wanted to spend her career solving problems that genuinely matter to people. Hear how that mindset eventually led to the formation of Casap, an AI-powered platform helping credit unions reduce fraud losses, improve dispute resolution, and strengthen member trust without losing the human judgment these situations often require. We also dig into why disputes are far more than just operational headaches, with Shanthi explaining why they're “trust moments” that can determine whether a member stays loyal to their financial institution or walks away entirely.As we wrap up the episode, Shanthi talks about her love for custom suits, Bollywood dancing, Colorado Springs, and why Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People still resonates with her years after first reading it.

Exciting news - my debut book, Sticky Habits, is hitting the shelves on September 8th! We often think only a certain "habit person" can master habits, but I'm here to flip that idea on its head. Habits are here to help you, not control every second. They're meant to support pivotal parts of your day, like your morning routine or evening wind-down, so you can focus on what truly matters. Consider where a small habit might bring ease and alignment into your life. Embracing habits isn't about filling your day with robotic tasks but being real about where they can genuinely support you.

Who decided health only counts if you do all of it? Somewhere along the way, many of ladies of over 40 bought into the idea that being healthy means meal prepping every bite, never missing a workout, tracking everything, and starting over the second life gets messy. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm calling BS on that whole approach. I share how years of fitness competition prep turned me into the poster child for all-or-nothing thinking, why so many women keep bouncing between "I'll get back on track in September" and "July has to look exactly like February," and the simple question that changed everything: What can I actually keep doing? You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at my new Feet Up Summer experiment and why I believe health works better when it's built around your life instead of becoming your life. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, waiting for the perfect time, or treating yourself like a never-ending self-improvement project, this episode is for you. In this episode: • Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps you stuck • The fitness competition lesson that changed my perspective on health • The difference between habits you can survive for 30 days and habits you can sustain for 300 days • Why summer doesn't need to be a season of "falling off track" • Why one habit that sticking beats 26 habits you can't maintain You don't need another plan. You might just need habits that fit your life. Join Feet Up Summer: A free 26-day health experiment for women who are done starting over every Monday and ready to make health feel a whole lot easier. https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/feetupsummer Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitgirlmagic Tik Tok @kimbarnesjefferson Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kimjeffersoncoach/

Episode 4045: Tynan breaks down the surprisingly emotional and highly practical process behind creating lasting habits, using his lifelong struggle with tidiness as a real-time experiment. He shows how clarity, standards, triggers, and honest self-assessment can turn willpower into automatic behavior, offering a simple framework anyone can apply to build stronger discipline and a more intentional life. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://tynan.com/newhabit Quotes to ponder: “Habits are easy once you've build momentum, but these emotional tricks can help get the ball rolling.” “Adherence is more important than perfection.” “If I can't build this habit, how much can I really expect of myself?” Episode references: Naturalitea: http://naturalitea.com Learn more about your ad choices.

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Fast Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksAge Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksSubstack Article "I Stopped Fasting for a Year": https://substack.com/@drmindypelz/Carb Manager App carbmanager.com, available on iOS, Android, and webThe Movement Diet: Redefining Fitness at Every Age with Katy BowmanStudy: Prolonged Fasting, HPA Axis & Cortisol - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12736288/Study: Estrogen & Cortisol Regulation - https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/12/4457/4587523Midlife Women Fasting Trial - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65678-zStudy: Self-Selected Fasting Windows - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03375-yBEAM Minerals, use code MINDY for 20% off: https://www.beamminerals.com/?oid=4&affid=648LMNT, get a free sample pack with your order: https://bit.ly/drinklmntpelzTo view full show notes, resources mentioned, transcripts, and more, visit

Your subconscious mind is running 95% of your decisions. Your conscious mind, the part that's setting goals, making resolutions, and telling itself to do better, is only working with the remaining 5%. That gap is why knowing what you should do is never enough. Thais Gibson has spent over a decade building a framework that actually closes that gap. She is a counselor, founder of the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, and has worked with over 60,000 people through The Personal Development School. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, she breaks down why self-sabotage is not what we all think it is, how your attachment style is quietly running your relationships, and the exact process to rewire patterns you have been carrying since childhood. This is one of those conversations that will make you look at your own behavior completely differently. What's Discussed: (00:05) The real reason your conscious goals keep losing to your subconscious programming. (15:30) What your attachment style is actually telling you about your childhood. (29:00) The attachment combination most likely to end in a vicious cycle. (45:00) Why dating a secure person does not fix an insecure attachment. (58:00) That one belief that's quietly destroying your ability to connect. (1:05:00) What limerence is and why people mistake it for love. (1:15:00) The five pillars to rewire your attachment style at a subconscious level. (1:20:00) Why affirmations do not work and what to do instead. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
