In this powerful and uplifting episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes international speaker, entrepreneur, and speaking coach Marianne Hickman. Known for her remarkable journey from food stamps in Utah to igniting stages in 17 countries, Marianne shares her authentic story of resilience, transformation, and the transformative magic of sharing your message with the world. A Journey Fueled by Hardship and Hope Marianne pulls listeners in with her unfiltered account of what life was like before her first intentional speaking opportunity. Growing up as the youngest of ten in a family of high achievers, Marianne describes the emotional and financial challenges that nearly broke her spirit—marriage and motherhood at an early age, raising five kids, concerning debt, and the humbling experience of relying on food stamps and government support. She humorously and candidly recounts driving the family's old Mazda minivan through Provo, Utah, wrestling with frustration at “doing everything right” but still struggling financially. On that pivotal drive, she describes a personal, almost confrontational conversation with God: she demanded either a box of money on her porch or proximity to someone who could teach her “the money game.” Fate complied—not with cash, but with access to mentors and examples who showed her how to turn her personal story, pain, inspiration, and lessons into sustainable, purpose-driven speaking. Discovering the Power of Storytelling Marianne's turning points didn't come in the fashion of overnight success. She opens up about her early speaking opportunities, from her church putting her on stage as a child (admitting churches “knock the stage fright right out of you”), to attending seminars as a “seminar junkie” and stumbling accidentally into her first significant co-facilitator role. She shares a vivid anecdote about a seminar where she witnessed a speaker sell out $300 worth of resources to 700 people in a single session—redefining for her the possibilities of influence from the stage. But more than money or surface-level success, Marianne found her purpose in influence that creates real change. She connects the dots between mastering communication, having a message rooted in authentic experience, and the responsibility to use that message to help others transform their lives. Overcoming Fear & Transforming Mindset A key theme throughout the episode is the fear and self-doubt that come with stepping onto a stage—physical or virtual. Marianne boldly confesses to battling “me-centered” anxieties: Am I good enough? Will I forget my content? Does my outfit look okay? But she reveals a paradigm-shifting piece of wisdom: “Stage fright is inherently selfish.” By focusing less on herself and more on serving her audience, giving value, and tuning in to their needs, her nerves are transformed into purpose. She dives deep into the importance of mindset, using humorous and relatable family anecdotes (like being head-butted by a sheep at a photo shoot) to illustrate how what's inside you gets squeezed out under pressure—onstage or off. For Marianne, developing a resilient mindset and sharing stories from a “healed scar, not an open wound,” are essential for authentic, impactful speaking. Lessons from Failure & the Power of Humor Marianne isn't shy about her early speaking “cringe moments,” sharing how watching her old keynotes taught her humility and the value of self-compassion. She stresses the importance of ongoing learning and giving oneself permission to be funny and human—citing icons like Robin Williams as examples of using humor to make difficult topics accessible and healing. Building a Signature Message—and an Income With practical steps and hard-won wisdom, Marianne walks listeners through the essentials of building a signature presentation. She describes her 10-step keynote blueprint—an adaptable framework that brings stories, lessons, and audience participation together in a way that's psychologically powerful and emotionally relevant. Marianne unpacks the different business models for speakers: the traditional stage fee route (getting paid for keynote sessions at associations or universities), and a more scalable, sustainable approach—offering resources, free tools, or courses to your audience as a seamless next step after speaking. She even shares how simple tools and free resources (like her podcast database) can organically lead to recurring revenue by fulfilling audience needs. Advice for Aspiring Speakers For anyone terrified of public speaking, Marianne's advice is refreshingly simple and actionable: Get the reps in. Start small by going live on social media for two minutes a day—practice is the only way through the fear. She assures listeners that everyone starts small, and reminds us, “Even if no one shows up, just do it anyway.” Authenticity and impact, according to Marianne, come down to personal growth and honesty. It's not about presenting a perfect, drama-free life, but about being real, vulnerable, and committed to ongoing evolution. Your message doesn't have to be traumatic or “the biggest”—it just needs to be yours, rooted in lessons learned and a desire to help others. Trends and Changes in the Speaking Industry Marianne and Wize riff on the post-COVID explosion in digital stages, especially podcasts, and the democratization (and challenges) of getting visible in an increasingly crowded market. She notes the importance of longevity—just “keeping going” in the face of comparison and distraction—as well as becoming the “purest version of yourself,” rather than trying to emulate others. Standing out means embracing your unique strengths, flaws, and quirks. What's Next? And Marianne's Final Message Marianne closes by sharing her plans for upcoming books (“Uninfluenced”), women's and couples retreats for speakers, and her ambition to put people on a million stages and help them make a billion dollars doing it. But her message for listeners—especially those who feel “too small” to get on stage—is about snuffing out the lies of self-doubt. Every voice matters, and the world needs more good people who know how to use their story for positive change. Call to Action If you're feeling the fire to get your message out or want to explore paid speaking, Marianne welcomes listeners to reach out directly for guidance, resources, or just a supportive conversation. Wize signs off with an invitation: Share this episode with someone whose story deserves the spotlight—they might be “one stage away from everything they've been dreaming of.” Key Episode Themes: Turning adversity and setbacks into platforms for success The role of mindset and self-talk in overcoming speaking anxiety The power of storytelling for influence, impact, and income Authenticity, vulnerability, and the ethics of sharing your story Building sustainable success as a speaker, onstage and off Practical first steps for aspiring speakers Navigating a changing speaking landscape post-COVID The value of individuality and consistency over comparison — For anyone feeling “stuck” and wondering if their story or voice could ever matter, this episode is a must-listen. Marianne Hickman proves that even the most unlikely beginnings can lead to stages that change not only your life, but the lives of others.

Global Outreach Director Marissa Armit reflects on entitlement—especially feeling owed a break—and how hardship draws deeper dependence on God. She urges a shift from a small, circumstantial view to God's big story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, encouraging confession and gratitude.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:3-4   If there was anyone who experienced suffering, it was the Apostle Paul. He was wrongfully accused, spent time in a Roman prison, and was even shipwrecked. Amid all these difficulties, he learned to rejoice. Paul knew that God used suffering to transform his life and faith. As a Christian, suffering and pain work for you, not against you. Suffering causes a chain reaction of spiritual growth in your life. Rejoice, knowing God is working to bring you through your most difficult situation.

The Certainty of Tribulation “In the world ye shall have tribulation…” — John 16:33 Tribulation includes: Persecution for faith (“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” — 2 Timothy 3:12). Personal hardship — sickness, loss, financial struggle, relational heartbreak. Spiritual conflict — battles with temptation, doubts, and the assaults of the enemy.

From the Great Depression to 94 Years of Wisdom: Edna's Story of Farm Life, Family, and Resilience | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description: What does nearly a century of life teach you about hardship, family, and the power of resilience? In this extraordinary episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Edna, who was born in 1931 during the Great Depression and has lived through some of the most defining moments of the 20th century. Edna takes us on a vivid journey through her childhood on a Michigan farm, memories of one-room schoolhouses, the arrival of electricity, and the everyday realities of growing up without modern conveniences. She shares powerful reflections on World War II, working through adversity, raising a family, and her long career in nursing—all told with honesty, humor, and perspective that only comes from a life well lived. From potato harvests and moonshine stories to reflections on technology and what truly matters in life, this is more than just history—it's living wisdom.

In this powerful episode, author Jack McMahon joins Amb. Elisha to share his journey of resilience, fatherhood, and the inspiration behind his thought-provoking book Atrophy and Asymptotes.   After the tragic loss of his brother during the pandemic, Jack reflects on family, the duties of fatherhood versus citizenship, and how personal struggles shaped his writing.   Jack opens up about authoritarian drift in America, how we should respond to injustice with reason over rage, and the principles we must pass on to future generations.   His book—written both as a legacy for his daughter and a call to society—challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths, draw firm lines in their values, and never lose sight of hope.   If you're looking for a conversation that blends personal storytelling, philosophy, and social insight, this episode will leave you both inspired and challenged.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where each day we journey through the pages of Scripture together. In today's episode—September 2nd, 2025—your Bible Reading Coach Hunter guides us through Ezekiel chapters 17 to 19 and Revelation chapter 7. Together, we explore the vivid riddles and prophetic songs of Ezekiel, reflecting on Israel's history, covenant, and the profound call to personal responsibility and transformation. Then, we move into Revelation, where a powerful vision unfolds: multitudes clothed in white, a symbol of those who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and now worship before God's throne. Hunter unpacks the hope within these passages, reminding us that God's love brings newness, healing, and belonging for all who turn to Him. Along the way, Hunter invites listeners from around the world to share in prayer and encouragement, and offers a thoughtful reflection on God's enduring grace—no matter what joys or challenges a new month may bring. Settle in as we read, reflect, and discover what it means to be loved and renewed by the God who is love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Who are these people dressed in white? And why does John take such care to describe them for us in Revelation 7? These are questions worth lingering with today. The scene John describes is breathtaking: a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before God's throne and before the Lamb. They are clothed in white robes, holding palm branches, and their voices ring out with one mighty shout: “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne, and from the Lamb.” But where did these people come from? The answer comes from one of the elders around the throne: “These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.” They stand where they stand—not because of what they've done to cover themselves, but because of what Christ has done for them. They once were hungry and thirsty; now they are satisfied. They knew tears and sorrow; now every tear is wiped away. They once felt exposed and alone; now they are sheltered, known, and loved. Why them? Because they were willing to let go of their old garments—their efforts to cover shame, clothe themselves in reputation or piety, or hide their brokenness. Instead, they came before God as they truly were, and the Lamb did what only he can—he washed them clean, gave them new life, and clothed them in his righteousness. All their striving was set aside. They rested in Christ's finished work. That is why they are dressed in white, and that is why they shout with joy. This is a vision of hope for us, too. Wherever we come from, whatever burdens or brokenness we may carry, the invitation is the same: to let go of hiding, to wash our lives in the grace of the Lamb, and to receive the new song of his salvation. You, too, are invited to put on these clean, white robes and stand in the joy and freedom of being fully seen, fully loved, and fully forgiven. Let us step into this new life today. Let us discard the old clothes of shame and fear, and be robed in the love and acceptance of Christ. May the song of salvation rise within us—a song strong enough to carry us through every trial, every sorrow, every joy. That's the prayer I have for my own soul today. That's the prayer I have for my family: for my wife, my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

One of the big topics they go over is the sentencing process of inmates and how it may change in the future. While Bruce and Susan acknowledge some of the flaws in the system, they do point to the silver lining of things moving in the right direction and officials being aware of their shortcomings. The next big topic explored is the concept of early release vs hardship release, and Susan explains what they mean and their differences. This week is very informative and answers a lot of listeners' questions. Please feel free to send questions to Bruce and Susan.

This week our College + Community Pastor, Gage Henry, preaches from Hebrews 12:4-13, challenging us to see God's discipline not as punishment, but as love — His intentional way of continually shaping us into radical disciples of Jesus.

Title: The Perseverance of The SaintsSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 10:32-39Episode Overview:In this sermon from Hebrews 10:32–39, we are reminded that the Christian life is both wonderful and hard—and that perseverance is essential. Using vivid illustrations like the grueling Barkley Marathons, the message calls us to look back at God's past faithfulness, look forward to the eternal reward, and keep looking to Christ in the present. Endurance isn't about white-knuckled effort, but about remembering who we are in Christ, where we're headed, and the One who sustains us along the way.Key Highlights:• Look Back Often (vv. 32–35): Remembering the early days of faith stirs passion and courage to endure trials. Hardship in obedience always brings joy, never regret.• Look Forward Always (vv. 36–39): The Christian life is a long-distance race with eternal reward—Christ Himself and life with Him forever.• The Need for Endurance: Perseverance is fueled by faith, the promise of God's Word, and the encouragement of fellow believers.• The Great Reward: We endure because Jesus is worth it. He is our better possession, our abiding joy, and our coming King.Call to Action:Take time this week to reflect on both where God has carried you and what He has promised ahead. When life feels heavy, remind yourself of the moments He has strengthened you in the past—and let that fuel fresh faith for today. Fix your eyes on Jesus, trusting that He will bring you to the finish line.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Sam Lessin is a Partner at Slow Ventures, with prior experience as Vice President of Product Management at Facebook and CEO of Drop.io. His career highlights include serving as a key executive at Facebook, leading product management efforts, and successfully co-founding Fin. His current role at Slow Ventures involves investing in innovative startups across various sectors, showcasing his expertise in entrepreneurship and venture capital. Notes: Key Learnings The 4:30 AM Advantage – Sam's father would be at his desk by 4:30 AM every day, saying, "It's easy to look smart if you have a several-hour head start on everyone else." Early work creates compounding advantages over time. Either Be Early or Be Late, Don't Be On Time – Father's wisdom about timing and seasons. Start your career super early to get ahead, or strategically wait and come in later. Timing matters more than perfect preparation. Joy as the Ultimate Competitive Advantage – "I just don't think that in the long run, angry people win." Look for joyful people in hiring and partnerships because joy is sustainable while anger burns out. Type Two Fun Builds Resilience – Type 1 fun is enjoyable while doing it (rollercoaster). Type 2 fun "completely sucks while you're doing it, but there's joy on the other side" (climbing mountains, marathons). Entrepreneurs need Type 2 fun experiences. Practice Voluntary Hardship – Sam ran a sub-3-hour marathon and got a pilot's license not for love of activities, but for "practice moments" of perseverance. Creates evidence that you can handle business adversity. Right Person, Right Opportunity, Right Time – Don't ask "is this a great person?" Ask, "Is it the right person at the right moment?" Success requires all three elements to align, not just talent. Write Publicly for Intellectual Receipts – "If you can't write the check, write me the thesis and timestamp it." Writing creates accountability, proves thinking ability, and builds reputation over time. Nobody Knows What They're Doing – Working at Bain taught Sam that even prestigious companies "have no idea what you're doing." This is liberating—you can figure it out too. Big Things Take Time (Slow Ventures Philosophy) – Most success isn't quick wins. Venmo took "so many turns of the crank." Be patient finding the right wind, then sail fast when you catch it. Embrace Being Wrong Most of the Time – Seed investing means "you're mostly wrong, you mostly lose money." Success comes from being very right occasionally, not being right consistently. The Solana 2000x Return Story – Put in $400K, returned 2000x to LPs. Success came from the intersection of thesis (looking for "Ethereum killer") and relationships (following Raj Gokal through multiple startups). Use Humor and Authenticity as Filters – Slow Ventures website looks like a law firm in tuxedos "on purpose." If you don't think it's funny, "you're not who we want to invest in." Writing Pushes Away Wrong People – "I really like to be not liked by the people I don't want to work with." Authentic writing attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones. Manufacturing Hardship for Privileged Kids – "Tiger Dad" sports culture might be a misguided attempt to create necessary adversity for wealthy children who lack natural hardships. I loved the throughline of this whole conversation being about his dad, working exceptionally hard, and having joy and excitement for the journey. Maybe it was the near-death experiences that his dad had that led to that mindset. Regardless, it's something we can all learn from. We want to be around optimistic people who have joy and love for what they're doing… Nobody knows what they're doing. We're all figuring it out as we go. You'll never learn unless you go out and do the thing. Figure it out as you go. Just get started. And iterate. Learn. Try again. And keep going. Advice from Sam – Write publicly. You don't know what you think until you get your thoughts out of your head onto the page. And if you publish them, you have a record of the journey. Also, you might attract someone to work with. That is how Jack Raines (guest on episode #539) caught Sam's attention, and now they work together. Useful Quotes: "It's easy to look smart if you have a several-hour head start on everyone else." "I just don't think that in the long run, angry people win." "Either be early or be late, don't be on time." "The right question is, is it the right person at the right moment?" "Writing is thinking. If you can't write, you can't think." "I feel like a tenured professor of capitalism—responsible to make a lot of money over the long term by being very right every once in a while with permission to be wrong all the time." "One of the most insulting things you can call someone is a market participant." "The beauty of the internet is so big. The right people find you." "Big things take time." "Life's short. Is this really what you're spending your time on?" Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Ed Latimore is a professional heavyweight boxer, best-selling author, and veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard. He earned a degree in Physics from Duquesne University. Ed has gained recognition for overcoming personal struggles with addiction and poverty. We recorded this at our 2025 Learning Leader Growth Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona. He's the author of Hard Lessons From The Hurt Business.  Notes: Key Learnings The Heaviest Weight at the Gym is the Front Door – Starting is often the hardest part. "Zero to one is the hardest part" in any endeavor. Once you begin, momentum builds, but that first step requires the most effort. How You Feel is Irrelevant – "How you feel about doing something is irrelevant. If it is vital to your success, you've gotta bump to the wall a bunch of times." Discipline isn't about motivation—it's about doing what's necessary regardless of feelings. Sobriety: The Hardest Fight – 13+ years sober, describing it as "the hardest fight I've ever had." The turning point came during basic training when he built an identity completely free of alcohol for the first time in his adult life. From Being Liked to Being Respected – "When people like you, they want to party with you... When people respect you, you start getting invited back to family events." Shifted focus from seeking approval through partying to earning respect through character. The Baby Shower Revelation – Breakthrough moment when friends showed up with gifts for his unborn child, "all because he is my human." Realized people genuinely cared about him, which became the foundation for believing he mattered. Taking Ownership vs. Playing Victim – "A judge and a jury do not care about my terrible upbringing if I commit a crime." Despite growing up next to a crack house with family addiction issues, I chose accountability over excuses. Net Positive Impact Philosophy – Goal with raising children: "Make sure they are a net positive, they make things better. At the very least, let's make sure they don't mess anything up." Everyone has an impact on the world for better or worse. Practice Until You Can't Forget – Boxing taught the overlearning principle: going beyond basic competency to automatic response. "We practice until we can't forget... Either you get it or you'll make a mistake, and you probably won't make the mistake more than twice." Tolerance for Boredom Builds Excellence – "If you can be bored, you can go really far because a lot of it is just repetition of really basic things." Elite performers master fundamentals through unglamorous repetition. Body Language Shapes Internal State – "You smile, you feel happy... puff up your chest and the testosterone flows." Physical presentation affects how you feel internally and influences others around you. Fear vs. Responsibility Evolution – Early motivation came from fear of embarrassment; current motivation comes from a sense of responsibility to others. Shift from avoiding personal failure to ensuring others are taken care of. Redefining "At Your Best" – Past definition: having enough money, time, and no worries. Current definition: "Everyone in the house is taken care of." Evolution from internal satisfaction to external impact. Strategic Hardship Introduction – For teaching children without trauma: "Introduce hardships strategically and with awareness." Like weight training—incremental challenges build strength; too much too soon causes injury. Useful Quotes: "How you feel about doing something is irrelevant. If it is vital to your success, you've gotta bump to the wall a bunch of times." "The heaviest weight at the gym is the front door." "When people like you, they want to party with you... When people respect you, you start getting invited back to family events." "You have an impact on the world, for better or worse, that makes a huge difference in allowing a person to not destroy themselves." "We practice until we can't forget." "If you can be bored, you can go really far." "I've had my ego dragged through the mud a lot." "What do you want your obituary to say? I didn't just dabble." "When you're completely selfless, then you're fearless. It's the 'what's gonna happen to me' that creates the fear." "Everyone's always either walking in love or fear." "I hope my kid remembers that I was a present happy dude." Life Lessons: Discipline Over Mood – Make decisions based on necessity, not feelings. Success comes from identifying what must be done and executing consistently. Identity Building Without Vices – Spend time in environments completely free from your struggles to build new neural pathways and self-concept. Overlearning for Mastery – Practice skills beyond basic competency until they become automatic responses under pressure. Authentic Accountability – Find mentors who "live what they're yelling at you about." Real influence comes from demonstrated behavior, not just words. Incremental Challenge Builds Resilience – Introduce difficulties gradually to build strength rather than overwhelming with too much too soon. Present Moment Parenting – Model calm behavior during stressful situations because children mirror your emotional energy. External Focus Creates Fulfillment – Shift from personal satisfaction to ensuring others are taken care of for a deeper sense of purpose. Childhood Dreams Reveal True Interests – "What did you want to do when you were 10-12?" Often reveals authentic passions before social conditioning. Breaking Generational Cycles – Consciously choose different patterns than your upbringing to create better outcomes for the next generation. Humility Through Struggle – Getting "ego dragged through the mud" builds character and perspective that success alone cannot provide. Luck Recognition Builds Gratitude – "The only difference between you and me is that I was lucky." Understanding the role of circumstances builds empathy.   Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.
