Podcasts about helped

Ask David, #491, featuring our beloved Dr. Matthew May. Can Introverts be helped? How can we enhance our happiness? What's the best movie to watch if your father rejected you? How can I identify my feelings? The answers to the first two questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Today's Questions Anonymous asks: Can an introvert become more extroverted? Or are these personality traits "fixed" and unchanging? Seve asks: I know that TEAM can be super helpful for negative thoughts and feelings, but what are the best tools to enhance happiness and become the person we want to be? I have a patient whose father rejected her when she was young. What would be a good movie that I could recommend for her? Anonymous asks: I don't know how to identify my feelings. Can you help?   Today's Answers Question #1 Anonymous asks: Can an introvert become more extroverted? Or are these personality traits "fixed" and unchanging? Dear Dr. Burns, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to ask you a question regarding personality traits. Some articles suggest that introversion and extraversion are relatively stable characteristics—meaning that an introverted person cannot truly become more extroverted, and vice versa (or at least not to a great extent). They also propose that introverts tend to lose energy in social situations and recharge when alone, whereas extroverts gain energy from social interaction. I'm very curious to know your thoughts on this topic. Do you believe an introverted person can become more extroverted? And in your view, is an introvert's need for solitude more of a true "need" or a "want"? Thank you very much for your time and for the inspiration your work has provided to so many of us. Warm regards, Anonymous David's reply If you like, I can make this an Ask David question for an upcoming podcast! It's a cool question and raises many questions: Do "personalities" even "exist?" Is this like the question, "Do we have a self?" It also focuses on the issue of whether we can change and grow, or whether there is some invisible barrier beyond which we can grow any further, due to some inherent "limit" due to our "personality type." Best, david   Question #2 Dr. Dear David: I know first-hand how helpful TEAM CBT can be to address negative thoughts and emotions but our path to a happier life and to the person we want to be never really ends.  Are there any other tools that Dr. David may have come across and can suggest for someone's growth? Thank you, Steve David's Answer Great question, and I'll give you a (hopefully) great answer on the podcast! But here's the quickie answer. Focus on one specific moment when you'd like to be feeling happier, or when you need help on become the person you want to be, and then use a Daily Mood Log, Habit / Addiction Log (HAL), or Relationship Journal, depending on what's needed. This is the exact same fractal concept we use in all of TEAM CBT! Warmly, david   Question #3 Hi podcast crew: I have a patient whose father rejected her when she was young. What would be a really good movie to recommend do her? David's Answer Sadly, I lost my notes from this podcast, but in general David and Matt found this question somewhat offensive, as it suggests you can chase a problem (father rejected me) with a method, in this case recommending a good movie. We, instead, would recommend TEAM CBT, which is real therapy, and not gimmicks. Movies can be rewarding, but that's not the same as effective therapy! Rhonda asked David and Matt what was wrong with recommending a movie in the same way we recommend books for clients to read.   Have a listen to hear their response.   Question #4 Anonymous asks: I don't know how to identify my feelings. Can you help? David's Answer Rhonda said one of her clients could not identify their feelings, unless they have the Feelings Chart in front of them.   David thought that anyone could identify their feelings and explained. One simple way is to identify a specific moment when you were upset and wanting help. Think about what was going on, who wee you with, where were you, etc. Then review the Feeling Words charts, which I will link to, to see how many, and which ones, resonate with how you were feeling at that time, or how you may still be feeling. Feeling Words Chart with Five Secrets, v 2 Another way is to draw a Stick Figure of yourself, and put a bubble above its head. Then imagine the Stick Figure is upset and put the Stick Figure's negative thoughts and feelings in the bubble. They don't have to be your feelings and thoughts, just make some up. Do it now—on paper! DON'T just think about it. That never works! Have you done it yet? No? That's what I suspected. If you ever DO want the answer to your question, so the stick figure on paper and then write me back. Thanks! Finally, you can listen to the podcast on "I Feel" Statements, and spend one week telling five people a day how you feel, using words from the Feeling Words Chart. For example, when checking groceries you could tell the clerk, "I'm feeling happy because we have such beautiful weather today." Or, "I'm feeling really frustrated with politics this morning!" Or whatever.  Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David

Episode Overview In this powerful episode of the Agent to CEO Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Chad Smith for a deep conversation on leadership, faith, discipline, and building a real estate business that actually lasts. Chad shares his incredible journey—from chasing a music career and hitting rock bottom at 23, to rebuilding his life through faith, mentorship, and personal responsibility. He walks through how foundational principles—not tactics—became the key to scaling a $100M+ real estate team, leading hundreds of agents, and maintaining a 20+ year commitment to faith, family, and purpose. This is not a "hacks and scripts" conversation. This is about priority structure, uncommon honor, servant leadership, and what it truly takes to win long-term. If you want seven-figure success without sacrificing what matters most, this episode will challenge and sharpen you. Chad's Origin Story: From Rock Bottom to Real Estate Leadership Walking away from a soccer scholarship to pursue music Playing the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood at 20 years old Facing rejection and spiraling into rock bottom by age 23 The life-changing influence of his uncle and exposure to Rich Dad, Poor Dad Discovering a new framework for life through faith and the "Man of Honor" message Committing to a priority structure that changed everything Chad made a declaration early: He would never become a "shooting star" again. The Priority Structure That Changed His Life Chad breaks down the foundation that drives every decision he makes: Faith Marriage Children Excellence in business to serve others Rather than building business at the expense of family, Chad built leadership capacity so he wouldn't have to choose between success and presence. He hasn't worked nights or weekends since 2009—and his production scaled because of it, not in spite of it. Uncommon Honor: The Core Value That Scales Culture Chad introduces the concept of Uncommon Honor, a leadership philosophy that drives his team culture. What it means: Honor those who showed you the way Honor your peers Honor those who can't "help" you Tell the truth—even when it's uncomfortable Protect the environment at all costs "If at any point I'm unwilling to say what needs to be said, that's the moment the environment begins to die." This is servant leadership without weakness. Truth with courage. Culture without compromise. The Leadership Shift: From Competitor to Capacity Builder Chad shares a powerful mindset shift: If you're threatened by your team's greatness, you'll never scale. He lives by this commitment: "I'm not afraid of you being great." Key leadership insights: Every dream is a dream inside a dream The moment a leader becomes a limiting factor to talent is the moment the relationship ends Competition is rooted in scarcity True growth comes from competing against your own potential This is the shift from ego-driven leadership to legacy-driven leadership. Building a $100M+ Team Without Losing Alignment Chad details how he: Went from individual agent of the year to scaling leadership capacity Helped grow a Keller Williams office to one of the most profitable in the world Sold 371 homes in a 12-month period with a lean, disciplined team Built core values intentionally—not aspirationally Created "The Real Solution" coaching community rooted in long-term principles His focus isn't hype. It's systems, discipline, daily consistency, and alignment. The Real Solution vs. The Easy Button Chad challenges the modern "magic bullet" mentality. In a world obsessed with shortcuts, he built growth through: Daily consistency (260+ live leadership sessions per year) Clear values Intentional mentorship Long-term commitment "You either train the algorithm, or the algorithm trains you." This is about discipline over distraction. Foundation over flash. Books & Influences Mentioned Rich Dad, Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki The Success System That Never Fails – W. Clement Stone Wooten on Leadership – John Wooden John Maxwell leadership books Resources & Connect with Chad Instagram: @ChadSmithRealSolution Website: TheRealSolution.com Team: DFW Real Estate Team Final Takeaway This episode isn't about better scripts. It's about better structure. If you want to scale your real estate business without sacrificing your marriage, your kids, or your integrity, you must: Get your priority structure right Lead with uncommon honor Refuse to compete from scarcity Never become a limiting factor to your team Commit to consistency over hype Seven-figure success doesn't start with tactics. It starts with thinking like a CEO—and leading like a servant.

Todd Zeile joins the show to reflect on one of the most emotional moments in New York sports history — the Mets' return to Shea Stadium after 9/11. From the silent bus ride over the George Washington Bridge… to the first sporting event back in NYC… to the decision to defy MLB and wear NYPD and FDNY hats… Todd shares powerful behind-the-scenes memories of how baseball became part of the healing process. He also discusses his upcoming documentary project on how baseball changed America following 9/11, and why the events of 2001 remain the most meaningful part of his legacy.

Do you have beliefs that are holding you back that (no matter what you try), they continue to have a stronghold on you?In this week's episode of the God Pod, Leanne Ellington shares her personal journey of transforming beliefs through the unique intersection of where "faith meets science"...and where "science meets faith", as we start to unravel how faith and science intersect in transforming your deepest-held beliefs about yourself. She shares a unique process to transform your own beliefs, but also takes you on a deeply introspective voyage, and candidly discusses her transition from attempting to change her beliefs purely through scientific and emotional tools...to inviting God into the conversation. She shares her initial struggles with self-worth and the fear of "being alone the rest of her life", and details how she crafted new beliefs that resonated with her core self and how she "backed them up" with carefully-chosen scripture. Leanne's journey from skepticism to faith, from doubt to trust, ultimately culminated in a profound transformation, including the unexpected and beautiful development of a loving relationship, and this episode invites you to explore your own beliefs and see where "faith meets science" can help you reshape your own self-perceptions.

Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin M. Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt.

In this video, we're talking about how Logan Paul may have just painted himself into a corner in his defamation case against Coffeezilla. Paul is seeking discovery from third party Don Holland (the class representative in the CryptoZoo class action case), and now, in order to get what he wants from Holland, he's going to need to help prove Coffeezilla's point in arguing that the two lawsuits should be tried in the same venue.

He followed this with an episode of his podcast, Impaulsive, where he repeated the same threat. He has since taken down both videos and reached out to Coffeezilla to inform him that he's no longer pursuing litigation--but he still may have opened himself up to liability along the way, nonetheless. ------------------- To Become a Member of Byte Club, you can pick between YT or Patreon: YT Members: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvDEmKLft6F2MxhuNUMwag/join Patreon: https://patreon.com/legalbytes -------------------- Follow me here!

The battles are coming thick and fast because this is the end of the seventh decade of the 19th Century - the British have just been defeated at the Battle of Hlobane mountain on the 28th March. There's been so much skop skiet and Donner it's time to reflect on matters further south west Before we buzz back to Zululand next episode. n the Transvaal, resistance to British rule was slowly setting, like mortar hardening between stones, the scattered grievances of the Boers beginning to cohere into something firmer, more deliberate. Far to the west, Kimberley glittered with a different intensity - fortunes were rising from the dust, deals were struck in the heat and noise, and the great hole in the earth swallowed men and money alike. Yet beneath the clangour of picks and the shimmer of diamonds, another current was moving. For even as the town prospered, a sequence of personal tragedies was about to cast a longer shadow over Kimberley shaping not only its mood but the hardening temper of one of its most ambitious young men. Cecil John Rhodes would endure a series of personal blows in the years ahead. These losses did not soften him. If anything, they seemed to harden an already melancholic temperament. One by one, the setbacks accumulated, and the young speculator who often appeared distant in manner would, in time, come to embody the ruthless vanity and moral ambiguity that marked the diamond fields and the empire they fed. The string of tragedies began with his brother Herbert. It was he who had come to South Africa first and started the Cotton farm at Richmond near Pietermaritzburg. And It was he who had impulsively upped and off to Kimberley to look for diamonds. Once these had been unearthed and he'd convinced young Cecil to join him — he upped and off once more to the eastern Transvaal, where gold had been discovered. After a while he tired of that life and began gun running from Delagoa Bay to amaPedi people, then roved about into northern Mozambique and what is Malawi today. He hunted the next gold find everywhere he went, a mad Victorian searching for his personal treasure. Cecil John Rhodes watched and took his own notes. He was already thirsting for power, and now he realised there were two routes. From Barney Barnato he learned the value of politics, and from JB Robinson he came to understand the uses of Journalism. Rhodes wanted something much bigger, and that was a seat in the Cape Parliament. He ran for representative of a rural territory, Barklay West which was a mistake. When he appeared at a meeting one of the local boers told him off “In the first place, you are too young, in the second, you look so damnably like an Englishman…” Rhodes, unlike certain modern politicians, listened. First stage of campaign complete, time for second stage. And here it may surprise many listeners, but he turned to black South Africans because at this time in our history, blacks could vote in the Cape. All they had to do was show they had enough cash, the Cape qualified franchise. Every voter had to show either 25 pounds of land or more in value or prove they received at least 50 pounds a year in income. After disbursing black workers with an unknown sum of money, 250 turned up to vote for Rhodes on election day and largely because of this support, he won. It is truly amazing that Cecil John Rhodes won his seat in the Cape Parliament because of black voters, and would go on to hold that seat in periods of triumph, disgrace and depression, until the day he died.

What if success isn't about pushing harder but allowing yourself to be pulled toward your purpose? In this episode, Seth Streeter shares how he helps people navigate major life transitions and discover their inspired life purpose as co-founder of Mission Wealth, a wealth management firm he started 25 years ago that now manages $14 billion in assets for 4,600 families across 34 US locations. Seth has been a financial advisor for 34 years, specializing in guiding clients through major life events while helping them live more fulfilling lives through assessments across 12 dimensions of wealth. After going through divorce and the financial crisis, Seth realized he was achieving traditional success but wasn't fulfilled, leading him to spend an introspective year attending retreats, meditating, and traveling to India. In the last eight years, Seth has led purpose-driven retreats for over 2,000 people, including nine-day retreats in Bhutan where leaders trek in the Himalayas and stay with monks. Seth spoke at Davos with Deepak Chopra on conscious leadership and leads the purpose community for YPO. Seth reveals the relationship that transformed his life: Joe Bosco, owner of an Italian restaurant in Fort Collins, Colorado where Seth worked as a dishwasher through high school. When Seth was looking at colleges and his parents wanted him to attend Colorado State, Joe Bosco said "you should check out Santa Barbara, California" because he went there for horse shows. Seth had never heard of Santa Barbara but applied to UCSB because of Joe Bosco and spent 27 years there, founding Mission Wealth, having his children, serving on 10 nonprofit boards, starting sustainable future.org, and doing a TED Talk, all because Joe Bosco suggested he check out UC Santa Barbara. Seth also credits Chip Conley, founder of MEA, as a mentor who showed him how to move from his head to his heart.   [00:03:40] Led Two Nine-Day Purpose Retreats in Bhutan In Asia for most of the trip Had 25 leaders in each group trekking in Himalayas Stayed overnight at monasteries, lived with monks Contemplated purpose individually, within companies, within world at large [00:04:40] Mission Wealth: 25 Years and $14 Billion Co-founded Mission Wealth 25 years ago Independent registered investment advisory firm 34 locations across US, manages just under $14 billion in assets About 4,600 families, team of 200 advisors and professionals [00:05:20] Started Leading Retreats Eight Years Ago In last eight years started leading retreats and coaching For different companies, leaders, different groups of people Takes paid time off to do it, spends vacations leading retreats About 2,000 people have gone through in-person programs [00:06:00] The 13 Inches From Head to Heart Great quote: "furthest distance many travel in lifetime are 13 inches from head to heart" As financial guy, had heart in what he did, loved helping people solve problems This work feels more intimate, more meaningful Really helping people give themselves permission to be best version of who they want to be [00:08:00] Started in Financial Services Right Out of College Right out of college, needed a job Was in student government at UC Santa Barbara, thought he'd be entrepreneur Dad was in government, mom was teacher, brother was police officer Family said "you need a job with benefits, security, and paycheck" [00:09:00] Went Through His Own Tough Journey Went through divorce, financial crisis, bumps in life Realized success script needed to be rewritten Was working hard but wasn't fulfilled, wasn't content Achieving success in traditional way materially but didn't feel fulfilled [00:09:20] The Introspective Year That Changed Everything Decided to do whole introspective year Went to retreats, read self-help books, listened to podcasts Got into meditation, went to India, did all these "woo" things That year opened up whole new framework for living [00:10:20] Push Energy vs Pull Energy As entrepreneur, had lot of push energy: building vision, growing team, charging hill Used that in Ironman, marathons, running nonprofits After personal reflection, started to adopt pull energy approach More of allowance, trusting doors close and open for reason [00:11:20] Speaking at Davos With Deepak Chopra Was asked to speak at panel in Malibu with five people Woman from Finland asked if he'd been to Davos, offered to get him in Three months before event, confirmed: Thursday with Deepak Chopra on Conscious Leadership in Era of AI Couldn't have pushed way into that opportunity, was being open and available [00:14:40] 12 Dimensions of Wealth Talk about wealth not just in financial sense but across 12 dimensions Impact families are having, quality of relationships, physical health, intellectual growth Seeing families grow true wealth feels very rewarding Lead purpose community for all of YPO [00:15:00] The Success Script and Grind Mentality Lot of people followed success script, did what they were taught Worked hard in school, career, moved through ranks or started company Rinsed and repeated grind mentality to get ahead Now 40, 50, or 60 saying "is this all there is?"

Alex Crowther, founder of Pain Coach Academy, a training and mentoring organisation that helps people living with chronic or complex pain, as well as those who have gone through deep personal challenges, to calm their nervous systems, retrain their brains, and rediscover their capacity to heal.Through evidence based neuroscience, emotional regulation, behavior change, and a compassionate, hope filled approach to transformation, Alex guides future Certified Pain Coaches to blend science with humanity in a way that creates real change in their clients' lives.Now, Alex's journey of losing everything he thought defined him and rebuilding from chronic pain demonstrates how suffering can become the doorway to purpose, service, and a movement that is redefining how the world understands pain.And while he leads what he describes as both a miracle and a marathon, he continues to show that purpose is always more powerful than pain.Here's where to find more:paincoachacademy.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068063355401https://www.linkedin.com/company/pain-coach-academy________________________________________________Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!We're Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we're here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business.

After the recession upended her architecture career, building a tiny house on wheels helped Macy Miller recover financially and dramatically lower her housing costs. She shares what that decision has opened up for her family—more freedom, more flexibility, and a life that better fits their values—and why similar options could matter for many others. When her small home in a central Boise neighborhood drew attention at city hall, Macy stayed in the conversation, helping the city pilot and eventually change its rules to make room for legal tiny houses.

On the Golden Age of Orthodontics, hosts Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein welcome Dr. Kristen Knecht to discuss how to revolutionize practice efficiency through indirect bonding. Dr. Knecht shares how her Houston startup practice grew 40-50% annually, forcing critical decisions about patient care delivery. Rather than hiring more staff, she redesigned her clinical orthodontics workflow with KLOwen custom brackets. The results were dramatic: reduced appointment scheduling burdens, eliminated bracket placement bottlenecks, and cut average case length by 40%. Learn her strategies for successful staff training, managing lab fees, and why partial technology adoption fails.What you will Learn in this Episode:How implementing indirect bonding completely transformed Dr. Knecht's practice efficiency by freeing up hours of doctor time and reducing emergency appointments through superior bracket placement accuracy and isolation protocols.Why partial adoption of custom bracket systems fails and how Dr. Knecht's all-in approach with KLOwen enabled her team to master bonding technique, eliminate pan and repo appointments, and achieve consistent results across all cases.Strategic timing for practice management changes, including how Dr. Knecht planned her technology rollout during slower seasons to ensure successful staff training and avoid the common pitfalls that derail orthodontic practice growth.Subscribe to the Golden Age of Orthodontics and our sister podcast, Practice Talk, hosted by Lacie Ellis, wherever you listen to stay updated on orthodontic innovation and real-world practice strategies.

If you're tired of stitching together a pricey, time-sucking podcast stack, you'll love this. Nathan Gwilliam is a serial entrepreneur whose latest exit was Adoption.com. After hosting 350+ episodes on digital monetization, he found the typical toolkit fragmented and costly—around two grand a month—and built PodUp, an AI-powered, single-login platform with 50+ integrated tools to create, grow, and monetize. For time-strapped teams, he also started PodAllies, a done-for-you agency that handles production and marketing once you hit stop. Today, Nathan shares how to go from fragmented to frictionless—and scale your show at a fraction of the cost.Nathan Gwilliam is a serial entrepreneur who has created and sold 3 digital ventures. His most recent exit was Adoption.com, which was the world's most-visited adoption site. After selling Adoption.com Nathan started hosting a podcast about digital monetization, where he published more than 350 episodes. After a few months of publishing audio, video, biogs, social, a website and a newsletter for his show, Nathan realized he was doing it the hard way. Nathan needed more than 30 different technologies that cost nearly $2,000 per month. Those technologies were missing a lot of the functionality he needed, and they had very little integration. He felt like he was duct-taping them together. And, they took way too much time and effort. Even after recording and editing the content, Nathan still had to pay someone 4 hours per day to syndicate the content. Nathan realized the need to solve this problem by creating the all-in-one podcasting platform. So, Nathan began building his fourth venture, PodUp, the ultimate podcasting platform with 50+ tools for creating, growing and monetizing a podcast venture... powered by Al. These tools are integrated, have one username and password, and are available for a small fraction of the price of licensing all the technologies individually.Many businesses and entrepreneurs want a podcast to build thought leadership, credibility and reach, but they don't feel they have time. To solve this problem, PodUp runs a podcasting agency named PodAllies that provides done-for-you podcast production and marketing services. PodAllies clients can record their episodes, and then PodAllies can do essentially everything else for them. In addition to Nathan's ventures, he's also consulted for numerous companies. For example: • He increased revenue by $5 million for a Facebook app in just 12 months. • Developed and launched the social strategy for a media company that grew social follows from less than 100k to 130 million+. This became the most engaging social channels of any publisher in the world at that time with 40 million+ monthly comments, likes, and shares (source: Unmetric). • Created a network of sites and social channels which reached 280 million monthly uniques. • Launched a YouTube channel in four languages that received 1.7 million video views in the first 2 months. • Helped grow Azul airlines' social follows from 5k to 1.6 million in 12 months and created a travel social network for them. Azul became the fastest-growing airline ever in those early days and had a successful IPO. • Created a language-learning platform that reached close to a million fans. Nathan has won numerous awards, such as: • Awarded "Best of the Decade" by the BYU Center for Entrepreneurship&. Technology. • Awarded the US Congress "Angel in Adoption". • Won two different business plan competitions. • Inducted into the "Adoption Hall of Fame".Contact Details:Email: nathan@gwilliam.com Business: PodUpWebsite: https://podup.com/ Social Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathangwilliam Remember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

FREE 6 Steps to Kickstart Your Retirement Transformation https://bit.ly/3HFivoy There is a moment in retirement that no one warns you about. The meetings end, the calendar clears, the noise stops, and instead of relief you feel a quiet question rise up: What am I here for now? After walking away from a long career at 60, that question caught me off guard. For most of my life, purpose felt obvious. Get educated, build a career, raise a family, save for retirement. But retirement does not automatically hand you a new purpose. You have to create it. In this episode, I share how I found not just a new purpose but a calling, and we explore why purpose matters more than ever after your career ends, what it really looks like at this stage of life, why we are uniquely equipped for it as we age, and how to discover it by looking at where your experience meets someone else's need. We also walk through practical questions to help you uncover your own next chapter. #retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK!

What role does chess play in our lives? That's a recurring question on Perpetual Chess, and one that author Katie Kormanik explores in her new, personal memoir, Adventures of a Chess Girl. A former top scholastic player, Katie looks back at the competitive years of her early 20s and reflects on how chess became a refuge during a stressful and uncertain time. The game allowed her to travel widely and immerse herself in an eclectic social circle of strong players from around the world. Although Katie ultimately stepped away from competition, she still loves chess, and now fondly revisits those formative memories. We also discuss her experience self-publishing the book, as well as our thoughts on the new Queen of Chess documentary on Netflix.  Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com.

Getting press can feel like a lucky break until you hear how Annabel Love and her co-founder built a repeatable strategy behind it. In this episode of Dear FoundHer, Annabel shares how a dorm room hair-straightener hack became Nori, an eight-figure, profitable brand now sold nationwide at Target. This is a must-listen for women founders who want a clearer playbook for building visibility, earning trust, and turning attention into revenue.Annabel walks Lindsay through the early, scrappy days of the company, including customer discovery in the real world, focus groups, and building a product with zero hardware background. You'll hear what it took to go from idea to manufacturing, then into a go-to-market plan that included Meta ads, influencer partnerships, and getting press that actually moved product. Annabel breaks down how they approached press opportunities like Oprah's Favorite Things and The Today Show, plus how they repurposed those wins across paid ads, their website, and customer acquisition.This conversation also covers growing an audience before launch, choosing the right agency partners, and why a lean team can be an advantage when managing rapid growth. Annabel shares how Nori expanded from DTC into retailers like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Target, and what changed operationally once mass retail entered the picture. If you are one of the many female entrepreneurs trying to scale without burning cash or building a bloated org chart, you will walk away with concrete lessons you can apply right away.Episode Breakdown:00:01 Nori Founder Story: From Dorm Room Idea to Eight-Figure Brand03:24 Launching a Hardware Startup Without Engineering Experience07:05 Customer Research and Product Validation Strategy09:32 Direct-to-Consumer Go-To-Market Plan11:54 Meta Ads, Influencer Marketing, and Getting Press13:52 Retail Expansion: Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Target16:10 Fundraising and Profitability in a Consumer Brand22:18 Scaling to $20 Million With a Lean Team28:46 The Today Show Impact on Sales Growth31:14 Advice for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Annabel Love:Follow Annabel Love on InstagramFollow Nori on InstagramSubscribe to The Foundher Files: http://foundherfiles.substack.comFollow Dear FoundHer... on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/dearfoundherPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Xi Van Fleet grew up in China during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. She was too young to be a real revolutionary Red Guard, but old enough to observe the astonishing scenes of violence and ideological fervor around her during those terrible years.I sat down with her to discuss her new book, “Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat.”She says she felt compelled to write this book to help Americans understand the true nature of communism. Over the past hundred years or so, the United States has made one grave mistake after another because of this major blind spot, she says.In our deep-dive interview, Van Fleet takes me on a tour of China's history starting in the late 19th century and explains how America—over and over again—made decisions that helped the Chinese Communist Party: first to gain influence, then to defeat the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek, and eventually to rescue the CCP from certain collapse in the 1970s.By visiting Beijing and re-opening US-China relations at a time when China's economy was in shambles, President Richard Nixon effectively “saved the CCP from the ruins,” she says.The history of how the United States helped the CCP survive is “hidden history,” as she calls it, one that is not taught in the schools and not discussed publicly: “A lot of people want to hide it. But in order for us to understand, we have to learn this very, very important piece of history that my book is all about.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Netflix shouldn't have survived.In 1997, Blockbuster owned home entertainment—9,000 stores, a business fueled by late fees, and a brand that felt untouchable. Netflix was a scrappy DVD-by-mail experiment that almost sold itself off to stay alive.So how did Netflix win?In this conversation, Reed Hastings breaks down the behind-the-scenes decisions that helped the business thrive: the uncomfortable leadership choices, the culture blueprint that surprised corporate America, and a near-catastrophic misstep that could have blown the whole thing up.Reed also talks about what shaped him long before Netflix: being a late-bloomer, teaching in the Peace Corps, learning humility from a former boss, and the painful management mistakes he made while building his first company.This is a masterclass in: challenging the status quo, choosing a culture on purpose, and making big bets without pretending you're always right.What you'll learn: Why Netflix's early “obvious” advantages weren't enough—and how close it came to dyingThe leadership lesson Reed learned from a CEO who was admirable… but strategically wrongWhy Reed says the best companies are like championship sports teams: if you can't perform at peak, leaveThe “keeper test” and how it changed corporate cultureThe Qwikster fiasco: what went wrong, and how Netflix moved to prevent future misstepsBuilding a House of Cards: How Netflix made the leap to original contentReed on the media landscape: The remote-control moment of truth, rival streamers, and the rise of AITimestamps:00:08:06 — “I was a late bloomer.” Reed on why no one saw greatness coming00:09:30 — Peace Corps in Swaziland, and the moment he nearly quit00:11:23 — An unforgettable lesson learned from the CEO who washed Reed's coffee cups00:14:39 — Building his first company in a cold cabin—no internet, just obsession and proof of concept00:16:48 — Reed's early struggles as a manager: “Too busy chopping wood to sharpen the axe.”00:24:11 — Blockbuster's late-fee pain and an early bet on DVDs00:44:47 — The dot-com crash… and the $50M LVMH round that saved Netflix (barely)00:47:12 — A possible Blockbuster buyout: “We probably would've taken any offer.”00:56:18 — The Netflix culture deck: “We're not a family,” and why that shook people up01:05:07 — The Qwikster crisis, and the backlash that humbled Reed01:19:33 — The competition: Netflix is just
