This podcast is all about the last 4 hours of your day, everyday.   There is so much focus on morning routines. What time you wake up, what you drink, what you journal, what workout you do, what affirmation you say.   But the truth is, your day doesn't start in the morning.  Your day starts the night before.   Most of us begin the day with good energy, good intentions, and some level of clarity. But by the end of the day, we are tired. We are mentally full. We have made hundreds of decisions. We don't have the same motivation, discipline, or emotional capacity.   And that is exactly why the last four hours matter so much.   If there is no system for the end of your day, you default to your phone, wandering around, tinkering in the kitchen, the noise, the chaos, the scrolling, and this low level stress that never really shuts off.   What if instead, you had a plan for the last four hours of your day.   The way you end your day determines how you sleep. How you sleep determines how you wake up. How you wake up determines how you show up. And how you show up determines the quality of your life.   This episode is about designing the last four hours of your day so your life feels calmer, your mornings feel clearer, your relationships feel more connected, and your body and mind actually get the recovery they need.   We are going to walk through how to build a simple last four hours plan, what it should include, and how to follow it even when you're exhausted.   Because stress is not just emotional. It's biological. And protecting your peace is not optional. It's foundational.   So let's talk about how to intentionally design the last four hours of your day and why it might be the most powerful life upgrade you haven't made yet.   Not a productivity plan. Not a hustle harder plan.   A life design plan.   A plan that supports high quality sleep. A plan that prepares tomorrow before it gets here. A plan that builds connection instead of distance. A plan that helps your nervous system come down. A plan that lets you clock out from output and clock into recovery.   Jesse Itzler says that your morning self is counting on your evening self. And I love that because it's true. Your tired self should not be running your life. Your intentional self should be protecting your future self.     ***Why the Last Four Hours Matter   • Energy and willpower are lowest at the end of the day • Without a plan, we drift • Drifting usually leads to scrolling, snacking, low level anxiety, and unfinished mental loops • The last four hours directly affect ◦ Sleep quality ◦ Emotional regulation ◦ Relationship connection ◦ How you wake up • When evenings are chaotic, mornings are reactive • When evenings are intentional, mornings are peaceful     ***The Reframe: This Is Not About Doing More   • This is not about squeezing productivity out of every minute • This is about clocking out from output and shifting into recovery • The last four hours are for ◦ Decompression ◦ Nervous system regulation ◦ Reflection ◦ Connection ◦ Preparation • Jesse Itzler teaches that planning the next day at night removes decision fatigue from the morning • Your tired self should not be making big life decisions • Your clear evening self should be protecting your future self     ***The Core Pillars of a Powerful Last Four Hours   -Preparation for Tomorrow   • Write down tomorrow's plan • Appointments, priorities, and non negotiables • Identify your top three outcomes for the next day • Decide what "a win" looks like before you go to sleep • Lay out clothes, bags, or materials when possible • Jesse Itzler's core idea: when you wake up, you should already know exactly what you're stepping into     -Body and Mind Recovery   • High quality sleep starts long before your head hits the pillow • Evenings should signal safety and shutdown to the nervous system • Examples ◦ Hot bath or shower ◦ Stretching or gentle movement ◦ Skincare or body care rituals ◦ Reading instead of scrolling ◦ Breathwork or prayer • This is where longevity, hormones, mood, and mental clarity are built • Stress is not just emotional. It is biological     -Connection and Presence   • The last four hours are prime time for relationships • Conversation without devices • Time with your kids, partner, or yourself • Unpacking the day • Celebrating wins • Laughing • Being seen and seeing others • This is where emotional safety and closeness are built     -Light Closure and Organization   • Small resets prevent big overwhelm • Ten minutes a night beats weekend purges • Examples ◦ Resetting the kitchen ◦ Tidying a room ◦ Prepping coffee ◦ Organizing a bag • Order in your environment creates order in your mind • You are either setting tomorrow up or stealing from it       ***How to Stay Consistent When You're Tired   • You will not always feel motivated • That is why you need a written plan • The plan becomes your autopilot • On hard nights ◦ Lower the bar, do not quit ◦ Shorten the routine ◦ Protect sleep first ◦ Still plan tomorrow • Consistency beats intensity • Repetition turns effort into identity   It's time to make your list!!   Remember…  ◦ The last four hours are not throwaway time ◦ They are design time ◦ They are recovery time ◦ They are relationship time ◦ They are future building time   It's such a powerful way to enjoy more fulfillment & joy in your life.   CHEERS to your best 4 hours of the day, everyday! 

Too many bright, high-achieving students hit a wall because they lack access, know-how, and the "network advantage" that makes college applications feel possible. In this episode, I talk with Zak Adams, a junior at Harvard University, about how mentorship can help high-potential, low-opportunity students pursue "dream universities" they might not otherwise consider. We discuss Project Access, an international, UK-registered charity that pairs students with mentors connected to their target universities. If you work with juniors right now, this conversation will help you see practical next steps you can take to support students who need a roadmap. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Recognize when a high-achieving student needs mentorship, not just encouragement Identify "high-potential, low-opportunity" indicators that can signal a need for added support Refer students early and plan ahead for deadlines that often arrive around September Understand why mentor matching connected to a target university can provide "network advantage" Encourage students by helping them build a plan when they don't know where to begin Show notes and resources: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e925

You all loved this conversation in the fall so we are kicking off our Wider Lens 2026 with a rerelease of this awesome interview. Jerry Flowers is bringing encouragement about the patterns of your life and posture of your heart as we talk through his new book Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be. Lean into the discomfort, create disciplines for preparedness, and surrender your need for control in order to step into your true calling as a son or daughter of the Lord Almighty. He loves you, he is for you, and we can trust him with our hearts!   Episode Highlights: Stop blaming everyone else. Take time for self reflection.  If we invite God in, He can use all seasons for our good and growth. Intimacy with the Lord allows us to grow into the people God created us to be.  Discipline and preparation go hand in hand. The more disciplined you are, the more prepared you are for what God has next.  Culture influences us to mislabel our fears, thoughts and anxieties. Make sure you are labeling them correctly.     Quotes from Today's Episode: I recognize many times, our placement in life isn't just because of problems, it's because of patterns. -Jerry Flowers Patterns reveal character. -Jerry Flowers Patterns are one of the ushers to certain seasons. -Jerry Flowers We want to blame the enemy, but we have to look at ourselves too. -Jerry Flowers Be aware of the enemy, for sure. But I think sometimes that keeps us from taking responsibility for our part. -Jerry Flowers It may not make sense right then, but later it'll make sense. -Jerry Flowers I see things that God put me through, before we got married, that helped me when I got married. -Dr. Kim We want to be whole enough where the Lord can pour into us and we can pour back out.- Jerry Flowers If you want results, you lean into discomfort.- Jerry Flowers What changed for me is realizing that my mind can lie to me. -Jerry Flowers A Wider Lens: Questions for Self Reflection Look at your daily life and identify one unhealthy pattern you've grown comfortable with. What one discipline could you start practicing to combat this pattern and prepare for what God has next? Identify an area of your life you haven't fully surrendered to the Lord. Choose a Scripture verse to meditate on as you commit to trusting Him completely.

What if wealth isn't about luck, connections, or hustle—but about how you think?   In today's episode, we unpack a fascinating story of a 17-year-old dishwasher who spent a decade working inside a high-end country club alongside ultra-wealthy members. What he learned completely dismantled common assumptions about rich people—and surprisingly, many of his lessons line up directly with Scripture.   Bob and Linda walk through 7 mindset shifts that separate people who grow wealth from those who stay stuck, and why renewing your mind around money may be the most biblical financial move you can make.   This isn't about chasing money—it's about becoming the kind of person God can trust with more.     Episode Highlights 1. Rich people aren't greedy—greed is the problem Money doesn't change your heart; it amplifies what's already there. When we believe "all rich people are greedy," we subconsciously sabotage our own growth. 2. Be cool (aka: be kind) True wealth shows up as humility and generosity toward those earlier on the path. Kindness is influence. 3. Wealthy kids inherit a mindset before they inherit money What did you inherit about money growing up? Limiting beliefs can be rewired—especially through God's Word. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." —Proverbs 23:7 (NLT) 4. You don't need school to be successful—but you do need wisdom Education matters, but obedience to God matters more. College doesn't guarantee provision—God does. 5. Stop chasing money; start creating value Money is a result, not a target. It's simply a reflection of the value you bring to others. 6. Money is a learnable skill You don't have to be "good at math" to be good with money. One book, one framework, one habit can radically change your financial future. 7. Focus on becoming who God created you to be Growth, wisdom, and Christlikeness compound over time—and so does stewardship.   Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT) Proverbs 23:7 — "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Romans 12:2 — "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." Matthew 6:26 — God's provision for the birds (and for you)   Action Item for This Week Do these three things: Identify one limiting belief you inherited about money. Find one biblical truth that directly contradicts it. Learn one practical thing about how money actually works (book, podcast, or Scripture). Small shifts in thinking can unlock massive change.   Wealth doesn't start in your bank account—it starts in your beliefs.    

In this episode, we take a leadership journey through the four essential pillars of successful organizational change: Vision, Emotional Intelligence, Decisiveness and Openness. Drawing from the recent article How to Successfully Lead Organizational Change, we explore how every leader – whether founder, C-suite executive or emerging internal change champion – can step into their role with clarity, confidence, and humanity. Expect concrete take-aways, real-world application and reflection prompts for your next big change initiative. Key Take-aways Vision is non-negotiable Change without a clear destination is like driving in the fog; your team will feel lost and unmotivated. (Breakfast Leadership Network) As the article states: “If you don't have a vision, you will also find it very difficult to motivate and lead your team.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) In practice: create a vivid picture of the “after-state” for your organization and share that widely. Emotional intelligence is the hidden accelerator Recognizing how your people are feeling—and why—is vital. (Breakfast Leadership Network) Change triggers uncertainty, fear, resistance. As the article reminds, being tuned in helps you support team members effectively. Practical tip: map out the emotional journey your team might take during the change. Pre-empt fears and build empathy early. Decisiveness keeps momentum alive In times of change, leadership vacillation kills progress. The article highlights that your team looks to you to “take the reins.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) It's not about making everything perfect—rather, about making the right call, owning it, and moving forward. Consider installing a decision framework: how will you determine when to act vs. when to pause and reflect. Openness builds trust and fuels participation Transparency matters more when things are shifting. The article says that being “open with your teams” is “especially important.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) Communicating the “why,” the “how,” and the “what's next” helps reduce fear and invites buy-in rather than resistance. Real-world practice: hold regular “change check-ins” where people can surface concerns, ask questions, and feel heard. Discussion Questions for Your Team: Reflect on a major change you led (or were part of). How clear was the vision? How did that shape the outcome? How do you as a leader stay emotionally tuned in during change—what practices help you sense team mood and response? In your experience, where do leaders most often hesitate during change? What tends to cause that hesitation and how can it be mitigated? What transparency looks like in your organization? Are you striking the right balance between “too little” and “too much” communication? Looking ahead: in your next organizational change initiative, which of these four pillars deserves most of your attention—and what will be your first action step? Action Steps for Listeners Grab a blank sheet and map your current or upcoming change initiative using the four pillars: Vision, Emotions, Decisiveness, Openness. Identify one thing you are not doing now (or could do better) in each pillar—and pick one pillar to focus on this week. Schedule a “change check-in” with your team where you openly share the vision, invite questions, and surface emotional reactions. Commit to a decision-cadence: set a fixed date (within next two weeks) when you will make a key change decision and communicate it, rather than letting it linger. Who Should Listen Founders, CEOs, senior leaders facing a significant organizational change (e.g., pivot, restructure, culture shift) HR, change-management and OD professionals charged with leading or supporting change efforts Emerging leaders looking to step into change-leadership roles and build their competence in guiding transitions Anyone interested in the human side of change—how emotions, trust and clarity influence outcomes.

Final Thought Change is inevitable—but successful change doesn't just “happen.” It is led. As the article reminds us, it takes a visible vision, emotional attunement, bold decisions and open communication. If you lean into these four pillars, you'll lead not just a transition, but a transformation.

“Buyers want a machine, a sales machine, not a mystery. If the sales machine only works because of the founder, it’s not that valuable. It’s actually quite risky.” Chris Spratling, founder of Chalkhill Blue Limited and author of The Exit Roadmap, shared this on a recent episode of the Sales Gravy podcast. He works with business owners preparing to sell their companies, helping them get operations, finances, and sales engines ready for new ownership. That insight cuts straight to the reason so many founder-led businesses hit a ceiling they can't break through.  If you are a founder who still carries most of the revenue, or you have a founder-led sales team that depends on you to close critical deals, this is bigger than exit planning. It determines whether your business can grow beyond your personal capacity. The Golden Handcuffs Problem You built the business. You know the product better than anyone. You can sell it without thinking. That is exactly where the risk starts. When major clients only trust you, when your sales process lives in your head, when new reps struggle to replicate what comes naturally to you, you aren't running a sales operation. You are running a one-person engine with a support team around it. Spratling calls this the “golden handcuffs.” It looks like success from the outside, but underneath, it creates dependency. Every time you step in to save a deal, you reinforce the idea that the business only works when you are involved. Most founders focus on how this affects valuation at exit. Fewer recognize the more immediate cost. That dependency limits how fast the company can grow right now. Where Founder-Led Sales Breaks Down The transition from founder-led sales to a functioning team is where momentum often stalls. You hire your first salesperson. They do well. Then a second. Then a third. Suddenly, deals slow down, messaging gets inconsistent, and you find yourself pulled back into conversations you thought you had delegated. They don't sell the way you do. They miss cues you catch instinctively. They hesitate where you would push forward. So you jump in, coach through objections, and close deals yourself. What feels like instinct is actually a method you developed through hundreds of conversations. The problem isn't that your team lacks talent, but that your approach has never been translated into something they can use without you standing next to them. As long as that stays true, scale will remain out of reach. Turning Intuition Into a Usable Process The hardest shift for founder-led teams is codifying what the founder does without thinking. You know which deals are worth pursuing. You know when to apply pressure and when to step back. You know how to redirect a conversation when resistance shows up. That knowledge is pattern recognition built over time, and it can be used to create a process. Start by defining how deals actually move through your pipeline. Not a generic framework pulled from a template, but the real stages your customers pass through, with clear criteria for each transition. What has to be true before a lead is qualified? What information must be present before a proposal goes out? Then look at discovery. What questions do you ask every time? What do you listen for before positioning your solution? Which objections show up consistently, and how do you respond when they do? The goal is to document the structure beneath the conversations so that someone else can navigate the same terrain with confidence. Why Your CRM Is Not Pulling Its Weight Most founder-led teams have a CRM, but they only use it to track contacts and deal size. However, a functioning, high-performing sales system treats the CRM as a learning tool. That means capturing more than surface-level data. It means recording what buyers actually say, why deals move forward, where they stall, and who influences the decision. When that information is tracked consistently, patterns become visible. You see which prospects convert fastest, which objections actually kill deals, and where momentum typically breaks down. That insight does more than improve forecasting. It gives you a concrete way to train new reps based on real deals you have closed, not abstract theory. Three Steps to Build a Sales Engine That Does Not Depend on You The objective isn't to remove yourself from sales completely. It's to make your involvement a choice rather than a requirement. Step 1: Define Clear Qualification Criteria Your team needs to know which leads are worth pursuing and which ones are a waste of time. If you’re constantly redirecting their focus, you haven’t defined “good fit” clearly enough. Get specific—industry, company size, buying triggers, decision-making structure.  Step 2: Create Documented Playbooks How do you handle discovery? What’s your approach to proposals? How do you navigate the closing process? Your team needs a framework they can adapt. Think decision trees, not scripts. “If they say X, then ask Y. If they push back on Z, here’s how to reframe it.” Step 3: Transfer Client Relationships If every major client relationship is tied to you personally, your business is fragile. Start introducing your team into those relationships now. Bring them to calls. Have them lead the follow-up. Shift trust from you as an individual to your company as a whole. What This Looks Like in Practice Record your next three sales conversations, with the customer's permission. Review them carefully. Note the questions you asked, when you asked them, and how you responded to resistance. Identify what made you confident that the opportunity was real. Turn those insights into a simple framework your team can follow. Have them use it. Watch where it works and where it breaks. Refine based on what you see. Done consistently, this process creates a system new hires can step into within months. It won't make them identical to you, but it will make them effective without constant rescue. The Real Test You will know your found-led sales team has scaled when you can step away for two weeks without monitoring email, chat messages, or “quick calls” with prospects. And when you come back, the pipeline has moved forward. If that thought terrifies you, you don't have a sales team. You have an expensive support staff for your one-person operation. Building a sales operation that runs without you isn’t about making yourself irrelevant. It’s about making your business transferable and scalable, whether you’re planning an exit in three years or just trying to grow past your own capacity right now. Because at some point, your ability to personally close deals stops being your greatest asset and starts being your biggest bottleneck. The question is whether you’ll recognize that point before it costs you the next stage of growth.

It walks through the frameworks that help teams scale without depending on a single closer.

Radical AI is building scientific superintelligence—AGI for science—through a closed-loop system that combines AI agents with fully robotic self-driving labs to accelerate materials discovery. The materials science industry has a fundamental innovation problem: discovering a single new material system takes 10-15+ years and costs north of $100 million. This economic reality has frozen innovation across aerospace, defense, semiconductors, and energy—industries still deploying materials developed 30 to 100 years ago. In this episode, Joseph Krause, Co-Founder and CEO of Radical AI, explains how his company is attacking the root causes: serial experimentation workflows, systematically lost experimental data, and the manufacturing scale-up gap. Working with the Department of Defense, Air Force Research Lab on hypersonics systems, and as an official partner to the DOE's Genesis mission, Radical AI is focused on high entropy alloys that maintain mechanical properties in extreme environments—the kind of enabling technology that unlocks entirely new product categories rather than optimizing existing ones. Topics Discussed: The structural economics preventing materials innovation: 10-15 year timelines, $100M+ discovery costs, and why companies default to decades-old materials Three fundamental process failures in scientific discovery: serial workflows that prevent parallelization, the 90%+ of experimental data that lives only in lab notebooks, and the valley of death between lab-scale discovery and manufacturing scale-up How closed-loop autonomous systems capture processing parameters during discovery—temperature ranges, pressure requirements, humidity impacts, precursor form factors—that map directly to manufacturing conditions High entropy alloys as beachhead: 10^40 possible combinations from the periodic table, requiring materials that maintain strength and corrosion resistance at 2,000-4,000°F in oxidative environments created by hypersonic flight The strategic rationale for simultaneous government and commercial GTM: government for long-shot applications like nuclear fusion and access to world-class science institutions; commercial customers in aerospace, defense, automotive, and energy for near-term product applications Why Radical AI focuses on enabling technology rather than optimization technology—solving for markets where novel materials unlock new products, not incremental margin improvements GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Engineer downstream adoption barriers into your initial system architecture: Joseph identified that customer skepticism centered on manufacturability, not discovery speed. Most prospects understood AI could accelerate experimentation but questioned whether discoveries could scale to production without restarting the entire process. Radical AI's response was architectural: their closed-loop system captures processing parameters—temperature ranges, pressures, precursor concentrations, humidity effects, form factors like powders versus pellets—during the discovery phase. This data maps directly to manufacturing conditions, eliminating the traditional restart cycle. The lesson: In deep tech, the adoption barrier isn't usually your core innovation—it's the adjacent problems customers know will surface later. Engineer those solutions into your system from day one rather than treating them as future optimization problems. Select beachheads where problem complexity matches your technical advantage: Radical AI chose high entropy alloys not because the market was largest, but because the search space is intractable for humans—10^40 possible combinations that would take millions of years to experimentally test. This creates a natural moat where their ML-driven autonomous system has exponential advantage over traditional approaches. Joseph explicitly distinguished "enabling technology" (unlocking new products) from "optimization technology" (improving margins on existing products), then targeted markets with products ready to deploy but blocked by materials constraints. The strategic insight: beachhead selection should optimize for where your technical approach has structural advantage and where success unlocks new market creation, not just better unit economics. Structure dual-track GTM to derisk technology while building commercial pipeline: Radical AI simultaneously pursues government contracts (DOD, Air Force Research Lab, DOE Genesis) and commercial customers (aerospace, defense primes, automotive, energy). This isn't market hedging—it's strategic complementarity. Government provides access to the world's most advanced scientific institutions, funding for applications with 10-20 year horizons like nuclear fusion, and willingness to bridge the valley of death that scares commercial buyers. Commercial customers provide clear near-term product applications, faster revenue cycles, and market validation. Joseph views them as converging rather than divergent, since transformative materials apply across both. The playbook: in frontier tech, government and commercial aren't either/or choices—structure them as parallel tracks that derisk each other while your technology matures. Reframe the economics of the innovation process itself: Joseph didn't pitch faster materials discovery—he reframed the entire process from serial to parallel, from data-loss to data-capture, from discovery-manufacturing gap to integrated workflow. This changes the fundamental economics: instead of 10-15 years and $100M+ per material, the conversation shifts to discovering and scaling multiple materials simultaneously with manufacturing parameters already mapped. This reframing unlocks budgets from companies that had stopped innovating because the traditional process was economically irrational. The insight: when industries have stopped innovating entirely, the problem isn't usually that existing processes are too slow—it's that the process itself is structurally broken. Identify and articulate the broken process, not just the speed/cost improvement. Lead with civilizational impact to filter for long-term aligned stakeholders: Joseph explicitly positions Radical AI as "building a company that fundamentally impacts the human race" and tells prospective talent, "if you are focused on a mission and not a job, this is the place for you." This isn't recruiting copy—it's strategic filtering. In frontier tech with 10-15 year commercialization horizons, you need customers, partners, investors, and talent who think in decades, not quarters. Mission-driven positioning attracts stakeholders aligned with category creation over optimization and filters out those seeking incremental improvements.

It is review season, and you might be finding yourself confused: you received high ratings and "exceeded expectations," yet the promotion you expected didn't happen. In this episode of the Career Growth Accelerator, I break down exactly why high performance doesn't always lead to promotion, helping you identify the structural roadblocks and strategic shifts necessary to move from senior individual contributor to staff, principal, or leadership roles,.• Understand why your performance review is never conducted in a vacuum and why your manager's peers—not just your manager—are the "voters" you need to convince with clear evidence,.• Learn why high ratings often fail to translate into a promotion if you haven't demonstrated specific impact on the company's strategic goals rather than just your own deliverables.• Discover the first major roadblock: Structural limitations where the role you want simply doesn't exist because the business context or organizational pyramid doesn't currently support it,.• Explore the concept of "Outer Layers" of scope—moving from self-focus to team-focus, and finally to business-strategy focus—to unlock the next stage of your career,,.• Identify the "indispensable trap" where performing too well at your current inner-layer responsibilities makes you terminal in your role rather than promotable.

Self-Perception and the Stories We Call "Logic" Most actors don't think they're afraid. They think they're being responsible. They say things like: It's not the right time I need to be more prepared I don't want to do it halfway I'll reach out once things settle down Those sentences sound calm. Thoughtful. Adult. They also quietly keep you from moving. Fear doesn't usually sound dramatic. It sounds reasonable. And that's why it's so effective. Why This Matters So Much Creative entrepreneurs live in nuance. Actors are trained to consider context, timing, readiness, alignment, branding, positioning. All real things. All useful skills. They also make it very easy to hide. Most of the actors I work with aren't lazy. They're functional. Busy. Productive enough to feel justified. But they're also circling the thing they actually want and never quite landing on it. That's not being stuck. That's mislabeling fear as logic. How Fear Disguises Itself Fear rarely says "don't do it." It says: Not yet Be smart Wait until you're more confident It wears a blazer. It uses full sentences. It sounds exactly like you. This isn't self-sabotage. It's self-protection. The problem isn't that you're protecting yourself. The problem is when protection quietly turns into a lifestyle. Something I Want You to Try Identify one agent, director, or producer you've labeled as "out of your league." Then ask yourself what actual evidence proves that. Most of the time, there is none. And if there's no evidence, you're not protecting yourself. You're stalling your life. Actors who move forward act before they feel ready. Ready is a choice. You belong in the room. But you still have to walk through the door. The Other Extreme The pendulum can swing the other way. Overestimation sounds like: I don't need more training My demo is fine I'll just wing it I already know what I'm doing That's just as dangerous. Overestimation blinds you to growth. And growth is essential in this industry. One extreme keeps you small. The other makes you sloppy. Both keep you stuck. What We're Aiming For The middle ground is grounded confidence. Confidence that says: I belong here And I'm still sharpening my craft That's where momentum lives. Why Reaching Out Feels So Hard When actors don't reach out, it's usually not logic. It's fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of being seen. Fear of success. But self-abandonment hurts more than rejection. When you don't give yourself a chance, you reject your future before it has a chance to recognize you. You say no to rooms that haven't even had the opportunity to say yes. A Better Question to Ask Instead of asking, "Am I good enough for that agent?" Ask: "Do my materials and brand match what that agent represents?" This isn't about worth. It's about alignment. You might not be ready for a specific agent yet, and that's okay. That doesn't mean you're not talented. It usually means your materials, brand clarity, or positioning need work. That's strategy. And strategy is learnable. The Five-Day Reset (Brief) This episode introduces a simple five-day process: Name the sentence that keeps you safe but stuck Identify where it came from Look at what it's costing you right now Take one small action that contradicts it Rewrite the sentence with honesty instead of polish Not affirmations. Not hype. Accuracy. Because honesty is more powerful than optimism. Where Confidence Actually Comes From Confidence usually shows up after action. Not before it. It's not a feeling. It's a byproduct. You don't need universal approval to move forward. You need data. Waiting until something feels perfect is a way to avoid collecting real information. And information, even uncomfortable information, is how you grow.

I genuinely love hearing where things clicked and where they still feel sticky. And if you want to know when the next class or training is coming up, keep an eye on your inbox.

Summary  A "raise" isn't just more income  it's more control. This episode breaks down how to build an income engine so your lifestyle isn't dependent on one stream of earned income. The focus is practical: stabilize cash flow, redirect leaks, and convert surplus into a repeatable system that produces results. What You'll Learn -The difference between more income and more usable income. -Why most people don't need a raise  they need an engine. -How to design a simple system that turns surplus cash into momentum. -What to measure weekly so the engine actually grows. Core Framework (simple + memorable) Find it: Identify leaks and wasted transfers (interest, taxes, fees, inefficiency). Free it: Restructure cash flow so you create surplus on purpose. Fund it: Route surplus into a controllable "engine" (liquidity + strategy). Flip it: Use that engine to create more income (assets, business growth, opportunity funding). Practical Action Steps 1.Pick one "pay raise lever" you can pull in the next 7 days: -Cut one recurring leak -Raise pricing / renegotiate a contract -Reduce debt drag (interest payments) -Build a controlled reserve you can deploy 2.Set a weekly target for: -Cash captured -Cash kept (after leaks) -Cash deployed into the engine 3.Repeat weekly until the engine becomes predictable. - Who This Is For -High earners who still feel behind -Business owners with inconsistent cash flow -Anyone trying to escape "one-income dependency"   Episode Highlights 00:00:11 - Building wealth the smart way. 00:00:28 - Money For Life process overview. 01:14:18 - Earn it: Turning income into a cash engine. 02:01:57 - Four steps: Control your finances. 03:13:41 - Product-based income paradigm. 04:26:36 - Financial planning requires finances. 06:13:41 - Earn more money through efficiency. 07:33:46 - Find and create opportunities for income. 09:17:59 - Passive and asset-based income insights. 10:56:10 - Unique ability: What comes easy to you? 12:22:32 - Finding margin for debt freedom. 13:00:37 - Shift your mindset to maximize wealth. 14:31:01 - Focus on cashflow rather than rates of return. 16:10:53 - The significance of starting lean. 18:47:21 - Challenge traditional financial paradigms. 19:28:06 - Create your own raise through side business. 20:15:05 - Importance of financial literacy and action.   Episode Resources Take your scorecard/assessment and we'll map out the fastest path to build your income engine. https://curtis-wbwb4naf.scoreapp.com   Keywords The Practical Wealth Show   Curtis May   building wealth   cash flow control   infinite banking   principles based planning   Money For Life   Jeffrey Reed   dividend-paying whole life insurance   Nelson Nash   financial chaos to control   cash flow engines   income engine   increase your income   cashflow mapping   profit first   private reserve strategy   debt paradigm   passive income   asset-based income   Government   personal economy   accurate thinking   multiple income streams   asset-based investments   tax strategies   side business ideas   freelance writing   tutoring   online business   AI integration   entrepreneurship   consulting or coaching   real estate investment   debt snowball   financial education   tax reduction tools   financial freedom   business development   financial planning   wealth legacy  

Doctronic became the first AI in the world legally licensed to practice medicine through Utah's AI Learning Lab regulatory sandbox in December 2025. In this episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Matt Pavelle, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Doctronic, to learn how he and his co-founder (a physician) launched an AI-powered primary care chatbot in September 2023, validated demand through Facebook chronic condition groups and minimal Google Ads spend, and navigated uncharted regulatory territory to offer $4 prescription renewals for chronic conditions—targeting the medication non-adherence problem that causes 125,000 preventable deaths and costs $100B annually. Topics Discussed: Why friends with excellent health insurance still couldn't get medical answers quickly Building clinical accuracy into GPT-3.5 when context windows were small and hallucinations were rampant The tactical launch: Google Ads plus Facebook chronic condition groups in September 2023 Architecting safety: RAG with tens of thousands of physician-written clinical guidelines The study: 99.2% agreement rate between AI treatment plans and human doctor reviews across 500 patients Navigating Utah's AI Learning Lab: the only regulatory sandbox that mitigated medical licensing laws Securing AI malpractice insurance through Lloyd's Market—a first in the industry The three-phase oversight model: 100% human review, then 10%, then spot checks Expansion strategy: targeting other state regulatory sandboxes and international governments GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Launch with the minimum feature set that proves your core hypothesis: Pavelle shipped Doctronic in September 2023 without user accounts—chats disappeared when closed unless users saved them manually. Within days, user requests for persistent chat history validated demand. The insight: your MVP should test one assumption, not solve every user need. If you're hesitating to launch because features are missing, ask whether those features are actually required to validate your hypothesis or just things you assume users want. Use specificity to unlock early adoption in skeptical markets: Rather than targeting "healthcare" broadly, Pavelle posted in Facebook groups for specific chronic conditions, offering a free AI backed by clinical guidelines. Half the groups banned them for commercial activity, but the other half engaged immediately. The lesson: in regulated or skeptical markets, narrow targeting with explicit safety mechanisms (clinical guidelines, physician co-founder credibility) converts better than broad positioning. Identify where your skeptics congregate and address their specific objections upfront. Design system architecture to prevent failure modes, not just tune models: Doctronic's safety architecture separates AI decision-making from prescription execution. The LLM asks questions and determines renewal safety, but deterministic code outside the AI verifies the prescription exists, checks dosage accuracy, and confirms the schedule. Even if adversarial prompting compromises the LLM, the deterministic layer prevents bad outcomes. Founders building high-stakes AI products should architect multiple independent verification layers rather than relying on prompt engineering or temperature tuning alone. Target regulatory pain points with quantified deaths and costs: Pavelle approached Utah with specific numbers: 125,000 preventable deaths annually from medication non-adherence, 30-40% caused by renewal friction, and a $100B economic burden. These statistics—combined with Utah's rural population and physician shortage—made the problem impossible to ignore. When approaching regulators, lead with mortality and cost data that make inaction untenable, not just efficiency gains or convenience improvements. Regulatory sandboxes require proof of safety methodology, not just technology demos: Utah's AI Learning Lab didn't just grant Doctronic permission—they required a three-phase oversight structure where human physicians review 100% of initial prescriptions in each medication class, then 10%, then ongoing spot checks. Pavelle also secured AI malpractice insurance through Lloyd's Market before launch. The insight: regulatory innovation offices want risk mitigation frameworks, not promises. Build and fund your oversight methodology before approaching regulators, and treat insurance underwriting as a third-party validation of your safety claims. Publish clinical validation studies before scaling—they become your regulatory and sales asset: The study showing 99.2% agreement between Doctronic's AI and human physicians across 500 patient encounters became the foundation for regulatory conversations and public trust. Founders in regulated spaces should budget for formal validation studies early—these aren't marketing expenses, they're the permission structure for everything that follows. Work backward from what regulators and enterprise buyers need to see, then design studies that generate that specific evidence. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

YOUR PERSONAL BRAND CAN LEVEL UP... START HERE: https://freebrandcall.com/mattlebris/ Robbie Bent reveals why entrepreneurial success, high performance, and constant pressure can disconnect you from the very self you're working so hard to elevate. After years of scaling a fast-growing company, Robbie found himself battling anxiety, founder stress, and emotional burnout — even while living the dream on paper. He shares how operating in "armor" — overwork, intensity, and survival mode — helped him achieve success, but left him feeling tense, overwhelmed, and internally disconnected. But here's the breakthrough: achievement didn't feel fulfilling until he stopped chasing validation and started building from purpose, creativity, and genuine connection. The real shift wasn't external success — it was learning how to feel safe, grounded, and present while still pursuing ambitious goals. Whether you're an entrepreneur, high performer, or driven professional dealing with burnout, anxiety, or success that feels empty, this conversation will help you understand the hidden mental health cost of achievement — and how to grow without losing yourself.

The $250,000 Asset Sitting in Your Clinic Right Now Most clinic owners work nonstop to bring in new patients while completely ignoring the most valuable asset they already have. Their past patients. In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Danny explains how past clients can quietly represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in recurring revenue and why most clinics never tap into it. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why recurring revenue is the most valuable dollar in your clinic How past patients can generate predictable, stable income The math behind a $250,000 recurring revenue opportunity How one clinic built a six-figure program without ads What to offer past patients so they actually come back Why Past Patients Are Your Hidden Asset Most clinics have seen hundreds or even thousands of patients over the years. Many of those patients had great outcomes, trust the providers, and would happily return if given the right reason. Yet most clinics never follow up unless someone gets injured again. The Power of Recurring Revenue Recurring revenue creates stability. It allows owners to plan staffing, manage overhead, and grow without constant stress. Unlike the referral-eval-discharge model pushed by insurance, cash-based clinics can design ongoing services that fit patient needs and provider strengths. A Real-World Example Danny shares how one clinic launched a small group training and movement program by reaching out only to past patients. The first cohort filled immediately. A second group followed shortly after. No ads. No cold outreach. That single program now generates between $200,000 and $250,000 in gross revenue for one clinic, with members staying an average of nearly three years. Why This Works Past patients already trust you They know your quality of care You understand their history and goals They are far easier to re-engage than new leads What You Can Offer Recurring services do not have to be complex. They might include: Small group training or movement classes Monthly check-ins or tune-ups Ongoing strength, mobility, or longevity programs Remote coaching or programming The key is matching what you are good at with what your patients actually want. Create the Time to Think Strategically Many owners never build these programs because they are buried in documentation and admin work. Claire helps remove that burden so you can focus on patients and business growth. Try Claire free for 7 days Next Steps Review your past patient list Identify patients who had strong outcomes Test one simple recurring offer Start with direct outreach before ads If you are working toward going full time in your own practice, PT Biz offers a free Part Time to Full Time 5-Day Challenge.

Stories run us, until we can see them. In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack how “the subconscious” is less a black box and more an ecology of repeating narratives. They move from storytelling tropes (plot armor, fish-out-of-water) into a bigger claim. Our inner villains are story structures, and healing is stewardship, not erasure. Along the way, they explore ancestral threads, family patterning, and a practical way to step out of the script mid-scene.Key TopicsWhy common storytelling tropes feel manipulative once you can “see the scaffolding”Plot armor, fish-out-of-water, and how character arcs predict what “can” happen in a storyThe idea that the subconscious is knowable, because it's made of stories, not mysteryA working hypothesis: the nine Inner Villains are nine recurring story structures in human lifeStewardship vs elimination. You don't delete the story, you change how it plays outAncestral patterning, embodiment, and what it means to carry a lineage thread without becoming itHow relationship dynamics can become “setups” that keep a villain role alive (the trash-day example)Sankhara, craving, aversion. As story addiction, not just “bad habits”Choosing an arc intentionally. Using attention as the lever for behavioral changeA simple exercise: identify what chapter you're in, then choose a different next pageNotable Moments and Quotes (short excerpts)“The subconscious is not unknowable.”“We are taught we are just the tree, not the root system.”“Trauma is not the beginning of something. It's the middle of something.”“You're not that character anymore.”“I'm sick of choosing the same page.”Practical Takeaways1) Name the script while you're in itWhen you hear yourself saying lines you've said a hundred times, pause and label it: “Oh, this is that story.”2) Swap “fixing” for “stewarding”Ask: “What would the easier version of this lesson look like?” Not “How do I eliminate this forever?”3) Find the setupIf a conflict repeats like clockwork, assume there's a hidden payoff. Example: being the savior, being righteous, being indispensable.4) Use attention as your control leverBehavior is mostly automatic. Attention is the steering wheel. Practice moving attention on purpose.5) Try the chapter exercise“This is the chapter where I'm angry.”“This is the chapter where I make a plan.”“This is the chapter where the protagonist stops performing the old role.”Suggested Listener Reflection PromptsWhat story do I keep reenacting because it gives me an identity?Where do I get to be the savior, the martyr, or the judge?What would it look like to let consequences happen without drama?If I'm not trying to “win” this scene, what choice becomes available?Which arc am I unintentionally feeding with my attention right now?MentionedDelaney Rowe (comedian, Instagram) for character trope satireGame of Thrones as an example of subverting plot armorFallout as fish-out-of-water worldbuildingThe Pitt (HBO) as fish-out-of-water workplace introductionMurder at the End of the World (Brit Marling) as a female-led “sleuth” archetypeRichard Powers, The Overstory and the root network metaphorAboriginal Australian songlines and ancestral story-carryingAinslie MacLeod (past-life framing and “you're not in that story anymore”)Drama Triangle vs Empowerment Triangle (reframing roles and choice)Listener HomeworkPick one recurring conflict this week.Name the story.Identify your role.Choose one small inversion.

Welcome back to Beat Nurse Burnout. In Part 1, we heard Ondrea Lynn's powerful testimony of trauma, spiritual searching, and finding true freedom in Jesus. Today, we're continuing the conversation — and we're going to talk about something deeply relevant to so many nurses: The connection between burnout, stress, and our bodies. If you're a nurse who has: -Gained weight during years of high stress or night shifts -Used food, alcohol, or sugar to cope after hard days -Felt disconnected from your body after pregnancy or trauma -Or wondered why willpower alone never seems to work This episode is for you. As nurses, we know this intellectually: Chronic stress → cortisol dysregulation → emotional eating → metabolic changes. But knowing the science doesn't always heal the pattern. What Ondrea discovered — and what she now teaches — is that lasting physical transformation must begin spiritually. When the nervous system calms, identity is restored, and coping shifts from survival to surrender, the body finally feels safe enough to change. Ondrea is a speaker and author of the book, ‘The Christian Women's Weight Loss Victory Plan (How to Defeat the Enemy and Transform Your Body).' Ondrea has helped thousands of women reach their personal health and wellness goals and improve their physical and nutritional health, as well as their emotional and spiritual well-being. She is a graduate of the Institute of Integrated Nutrition, affiliated with the Teachers College at Columbia University, some of her certifications include, NASM fitness trainer, behavioral change specialist, and self-sabotage coach. Her efforts in health & wellness have been featured in an article and on the cover of Woman's World Magazine. She appeared as a personal trainer on Lifetime television's Mission Makeover. Her ‘Christian Women's Weight Loss' podcast is currently ranking top 3% globally. Ondrea is passionate about helping Christian women lose weight and gain health so they can rise up in the Kingdom and take action on the assignment God has called them to do.

There are moments when the world makes something very clear. This is one of them. In this episode of The High Value Woman Playbook, Amanda Carroll runs The No Access Play—a new standard for modern dating and relationships. This episode isn't about debating politics or being “open-minded” at your own expense. It's about access—who gets it, who doesn't, and why removing access to your body, time, money, and emotional energy is one of the most powerful tools women have right now. Amanda breaks down why:• Who you date is political• Who you sleep with is political• Where you spend your money is political …and why high-value women no longer give access to men who don't protect bodily autonomy, human rights, or equality. In this episode, you'll learn:• How to spot unsafe men early—before emotional or sexual investment• Why silence, dismissal, and “both sides” thinking are disqualifiers• How women actually hold power through sex, money, and access• Why MAGA men don't make the cut• How to vet men without arguing, debating, or revealing your views• What a truly healthy, egalitarian partner looks like.Amanda also shares her personal story of surviving an abusive marriage, religious indoctrination, and financial control—and how that experience shaped the framework she now teaches women to help them choose safe, aligned partners. Featured Resource Amanda introduces her new mini course, The 4 Keys to a Healthy Partner, designed to help you:• Identify safe men• Spot empathy and emotional maturity• Avoid abusive or controlling relationships• Choose better partners—on purpose

Most swing traders struggle not because they lack setups—but because they don't know where price is likely to react.In this episode, we break down pivot levels (pivot points) and how swing traders can use them as a framework for identifying support, resistance, and high-probability decision zones on a chart.Pivot levels are not predictions.They're reference points—and when used correctly, they help traders trade with structure instead of emotion.Why Pivot Levels Matter for Swing TradingPivot points help swing traders:Identify logical entry and exit zonesDefine risk before entering a tradeAvoid chasing price in extended areasUnderstand where trends may pause, pull back, or accelerateRather than guessing where price might reverse, pivot levels provide a repeatable framework for analyzing price behavior.Join the DTA Community – Trade with Structure, Not EmotionIf you want to apply tools like pivot levels the right way—within a complete swing trading framework—the Disciplined Traders Academy (DTA) community is built for you.Inside the DTA Community, you'll get:Daily swing trade watchlistsClear trade planning frameworksRisk management educationLive market breakdownsA disciplined community focused on process, not hypeYou can join risk-free for 7 days.No pressure.

Welcome to Part 2! Goals are only as good as the systems you create to support them. Today we're diving into the HOW.Don't have your workbook?

When should you attempt to save the root filled molar that everyone else thinks is doomed? What are the key steps to safely remove, treat, and replant a tooth without causing fractures or resorption? And how do you manage patient expectations and post-op care to maximize success? In this episode, Dr. Samuel Kratchman and Dr. Shivakar join Jaz to explore intentional tooth replantation—a procedure that rarely gets the spotlight but can completely change treatment options for challenging cases. They cover everything from case selection and imaging, to managing crowns and fragile teeth, to simple tools and techniques that make this procedure predictable and accessible. They also dive into patient communication, consent, and how to include this procedure as part of your everyday dental armamentarium, giving you the confidence to consider it when the right case comes along. https://youtu.be/SjJTzbJ_AXs Watch PDP256 on YouTube Key Takeaways: Intentional replantation is a viable alternative to extraction. The success rate of intentional replantation is documented at 88-89%. Patient education is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. The periodontal ligament must be kept moist during the procedure. Imaging is essential for understanding tooth anatomy before replantation. The procedure can be performed atraumatically with proper technique. Replantation can be a last chance for teeth that are difficult to replace with implants. A mindset shift is needed in dentistry to prioritize saving natural teeth. Apical infections are often linked to the root tip and surrounding tissue. A good coronal seal is essential before any restorative work. Common complications include ankylosis and resorption. Inflammation can aid in the extraction process by serving the ligament. Post-operative care is vital for successful recovery.

When you miss a goal, it's easy to label it a character flaw. You tell yourself, "I'm just a lazy person," or "I'm just not wired for success." On this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt challenge you to stop taking your failures personally and start looking at them like a faulty machine. Welcome to The Problem Solver's Playbook. This episode is about moving from self-criticism to system audits. Whether you're struggling with fitness, finances, or the dojo, your results are a product of your systems. If a printer stops working, you don't call the engineer "trash"—you fix the printer. It's time to apply that same logic to your life. The Problem Solver's Playbook: 3 Action Steps 1. Identify the Root, Not the Symptom Stop chasing the surface-level problem and start digging for the source code of your failure. Perform a "Deep Audit": Look past the obvious result (e.g., "I missed my workout") and find the environmental trigger (e.g., "My desk was a mess, and I wasted my gym time cleaning it"). Track Repeatable Glitches: Identify patterns in your energy or environment that consistently derail you. Are you setting yourself up for success the night before? Solve for the Input: Focus on fixing the habits that lead to the problem (like overspending) rather than just stressing about the outcome (like a low bank balance). 2. Swap Judgment for Feedback Successful people view mistakes as data, not as a reflection of their worth. Kill Limiting Labels: Stop saying "I'm just that way." These labels are brakes on your progress that keep you stuck in a "mental death" where growth isn't possible. Adopt the "Feedback Loop": Reframe failure as essential data. If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't putting yourself on the line or growing to the next level. De-mystify the Obstacle: Stop assigning a "difficulty score" to your problems. Every obstacle you face has likely been overcome by someone else; look for their blueprint instead of fearing the challenge. 3. Pivot the System, Never the Goal Keep your destination locked in but be infinitely flexible with how you get there. Keep the Destination: If you're struggling to reach your "black belt," adjust your training routine or your timeframe, but don't abandon the goal itself. Leverage Micro-Versions: When momentum stalls, pivot to the smallest possible version of your goal to get a "win" back on the board and rebuild your confidence. Ask Momentum Questions: After every slip-up, ask yourself one question: "What is one small adjustment I can make to make this easier or more fluent next time?" Key Takeaway: Experience "inspirational dissatisfaction." It's okay to be frustrated with where you are, as long as that frustration fuels a system upgrade rather than a descent into procrastination.

The door might not actually be locked…Many of us feel imprisoned in our roles, held captive by the "golden handcuffs" of a salary, fear of the unknown, or simply apathy—but are the doors actually locked, or is it all in your mind?Feeling stuck doesn't always mean you have to quit; sometimes you just need to renovate the cell you are in.This week's ‘Walk & Talk' podcast episode comes to you from the Tower of London, a historic symbol of imprisonment, to discuss how to break the chains of your career and find your freedom.Key takeaways from this episode:Identify the chains: Understand if you are stuck due to genuine constraints or "invisible" fears like looking bad or losing status.Renovate your cell: You don't always have to quit to be free; job crafting and internal networking can reshape your current role into something you love.The Pilot Analogy: While hybrid work is great, being invisible can stall your career—if you want to fly the plane, you need to be in the cockpit.It's never too late: From Ray Kroc to Nokia, history is full of late bloomers and massive pivots.

Welcome to Part 4 of our 5-part mini-series, "The Ascent."It is easy to find peace when the ground is flat and the sun is shining, but life isn't always a meadow—sometimes it is a mountain. In today's session, we leave the comfort of the Open Field to face the incline, not to conquer the mountain, but to discover the strength that has been hiding in your heart all along.This guided meditation is designed to help you build resilience and navigate the "boulders" in your path—whether they are worries, fears, or difficult people. We will practice "Altitude Breathing" to oxygenate your courage and visualize a climb that shifts your perspective from the problem to the progress you have made.In this episode, we will cover:Altitude Breathing: A breathwork technique to calm panic when the path gets steep.The Boulder Visualization: Learning to navigate around obstacles rather than fighting them.The Plateau: Recognizing how far you have come.Peak Affirmations: Use these affirmations when you feel the weight of the climb:"I am stronger than the obstacles in my way." "I take life one step at a time." "I trust my ability to figure things out." "I do not fear the climb; I embrace the growth." "I am rising." Martin's 3 Caring Tips for a Happier Life: Inspired by the climber's mindset, here is how to bring this resilience into your daily routine:Lighten Your Pack: A climber never carries what they don't need. Identify one "mental weight" you are carrying—a grudge, a worry about next week, or guilt from yesterday. Visualize taking it out of your backpack and leaving it on the side of the trail.The "Look Back" Rule: We are often so focused on the summit that we forget to appreciate the altitude we've already gained. If you feel stuck, stop and write down three things you have achieved in the last year.Choose Your Route: If you hit a roadblock, don't bang your head against it. Be like water and go around. Ask yourself, "What is the other way to solve this?" There is always another path up the mountain.Ready to go deeper?

Today we’re wrapping up our One Word 2026 series with the final two invitations: enthusiastic and trusting. I wanted this whole month to feel unhurried—like space to look back on 2025 with gratitude, and then ask God, “How do You want to grow me in 2026?” And here’s what I’ve realized: enthusiasm isn’t something we manufacture by willpower. Real, lasting enthusiasm comes from being filled with God—and I love that the word itself traces back to that idea. If you’ve felt tired, distracted, discouraged, or even a little apathetic, I’m inviting you to consider what it would look like to be ardently alive, fueled by the Spirit. Then we talk about trust—because so many of us are carrying unknowns, losses, or things we can’t control. Trust is choosing to rely on God’s character when the outcome isn’t clear. We’ll look at Zacchaeus (Luke 19), the centurion (Matthew 8), and we’ll end with a reminder that God’s holiness means He is truly worthy of our trust. What We Cover: Discover what “enthusiastic” originally meant—not just high energy, but being “in God” and Spirit-filled. Identify the real enemy of enthusiasm: indifference and apathy that grows when we’re overwhelmed and disconnected from God’s strength. Learn how spiritual enthusiasm shows up in real life through Zacchaeus: curiosity, bold response, generosity, and immediate heart-change in Jesus’ presence. Understand trust as steady reliance on God’s character, not on what you can control, predict, or prove. Be invited to name your modern “chariots and horses”—the things you’re tempted to rely on for security (money, approval, control, success, relationships, etc.). See what extraordinary faith looks like in the centurion: trusting Jesus’ authority without needing visible proof. Walk away with two simple affirmations to practice daily if either word becomes your focus for 2026.

Walking into a classroom filled with visual clutter, constant noise, and lingering smells from an air fryer might leave you wondering how any student can focus—let alone those with sensory processing challenges. In this episode, Dr. Heather Kuhaneck joins school-based OT practitioners Linda Kinkade and Dana Hawkins to introduce the Classroom Sensory Environment Assessment (C-SEA), a tool designed to help teachers assess and modify their classroom environments to better support students with sensory needs.Unlike traditional assessments that focus on individual students, the C-SEA evaluates the entire classroom across five sensory domains: visual, sound, movement, touch, and smell. Dr. Kuhaneck explains how the tool provides teachers with a visual map of their classroom's sensory profile—without labeling it as "good" or "bad"—making it easier to gain buy-in for meaningful changes. Linda and Dana share real-world examples of how they've used the C-SEA to uncover hidden sensory triggers, like the surprising impact of an air fryer on student behavior.Whether you're struggling to help teachers understand sensory processing or looking for a collaborative approach to classroom modifications, this episode offers practical strategies you can implement immediately. Tune in to discover how the C-SEA can transform your practice and create more sensory-friendly learning environments for all students.Listen now to learn the following objectives:Identify the purpose of the Classroom Sensory Environment Assessment (C-SEA) and describe how it differs from student-centered sensory assessments such as the SPM-2 or Sensory Profile.Identify the five sensory domains addressed within the C-SEA and describe common classroom-based sensory considerations.Describe how the C-SEA can be used to support conversations with teachers about sensory-friendly classroom environments.Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I want to talk about something that weighs heavier than most people realize and that is the responsibility and guilt that can come with leadership advice and influence. There are moments where my mind feels full because leadership is not just about business decisions. It is about people. It is about hearing their struggles, their finances, their marriages, their health, and still being expected to show up strong. For years I tried to avoid leadership because I thought it was easier to just tell people what to do. What I learned is that real leadership is about empowering others to trust themselves and take ownership of their decisions. One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was separating advice from responsibility. When you give advice based on your experience, it comes from integrity. It comes from wanting others to avoid pain or move faster toward growth. But when someone takes that advice, the outcome is not yours to carry. If you take responsibility for their results, good or bad, you actually disempower them and yourself. I lived this lesson firsthand. After financial failures early in my life, I stopped trusting my own judgment. I leaned on Carla to make decisions and then blamed her when things did not work out. That resentment damaged trust and weakened me as a leader and as a husband. Advice only becomes toxic when it is used as a scapegoat instead of a guide. I realized that advice is information, not a guarantee. It is up to the person receiving it to make it their own and see it through. If they quit at the first obstacle, it becomes easy to call it bad advice. But most growth happens after things get uncomfortable. Everything meaningful in my life got harder before it got better. Marriage. Business. Leadership. Faith. I have given advice about quitting jobs, maxing out credit cards, betting on yourself, and rebuilding relationships. I share what I did, not what someone should do. Leaders mirror what people already feel in their heart and soul. The danger comes when someone wants the result without the responsibility of seeing the process through. Guilt can destroy momentum if you let it sit unchecked. I carried guilt for years over borrowed money, failed ventures, and hard decisions. What finally freed me was understanding that time and integrity bring everything full circle. Debts get paid. Relationships heal. Growth happens. But only if you stay in it long enough. As leaders, parents, and mentors, our job is not to control outcomes. Our job is to speak truth from experience and allow others to take ownership of their choices. And if you are on the receiving end of advice, your responsibility is not to blame but to commit and see it through. Reader reflection questions Where in your life are you blaming advice instead of owning your decision What advice have you taken but not fully committed to seeing through How would your growth change if you released guilt and focused on responsibility Notable quotes "You cannot take responsibility for the outcome of someone else's decision." "Advice is not a guarantee. It is information." "Everything meaningful gets harder before it gets better."   1.

Have you ever known exactly what you wanted to say— but your throat tightened, your chest got heavy, and you stayed silent anyway? Or noticed that no matter how much mindset work you do, you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, burnout cycles, or self-doubt? This episode is about the real reason. Not because you lack confidence. Not because you need better boundaries. But because your nervous system learned—very early—that telling the truth wasn't safe. In this conversation, we go beyond insight and into integration. You'll learn why childhood survival patterns still run your relationships, business, and boundaries—and how lasting change happens in the body, not just the mind. This is the missing link between knowing what you want… and actually living it. In this episode, you'll learn how to: ✔️ Identify the somatic root of people-pleasing, self-silencing, and fear ✔️ Understand why your body reacts before your logic does ✔️ Stop letting outdated survival patterns run your adult life ✔️ Create internal safety so boundaries feel grounded—not threatening ✔️ Step back into leadership over your life with clarity and confidence Your highest self isn't something you need to "become." She's already here—waiting for you to feel safe enough to let her 'drive the car.'   Find me here: Join The Aligned Woman: http://amandaclark.biz/aligned-woman-group-coaching Join The Aligned-Life Membership: https://the-breathwork-collective.circle.so/checkout/the-mom-life-collective Free Empower YOU Breathwork: https://breathworkcollective.myflodesk.com/empower-breathwork
