In this energetic episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dig deep into the mindsets, frameworks, and daily practices that separate the world's best coaches and entrepreneurs from the rest. Through rapid-fire "word association," Karl reveals actionable insights for productivity, building a powerful personal brand, becoming an ideal mentor, and thinking like legends such as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerburg. Whether you're wondering why most coaches fail or how to stop making unforced errors, this episode is stacked with real-world advice for coaches ready to upgrade their business and impact. Key Topics Covered The To-Do List Trap and Productivity Hacks Karl explains why most people never complete their to-do list and how focusing on just three critical tasks each day—especially before 10 AM—can 10x productivity and happiness. He urges coaches to build "done lists," embrace the 80/20 rule, and set high-leverage priorities. Amateur vs. Pro: The Mindset Shift Karl breaks down how professionals obsess over what could go wrong, practice to improve (not just to practice), and invest in personal development as the ultimate asset—channeling wisdom from Warren Buffett to Tom Brady. Rules of Business and Coaching From Warren Buffett's investing rules to Karl's "two rules of business" (get clients, keep clients), the hosts link real-world examples to a simple guiding framework. Coaches are reminded that keeping clients is even more vital than getting them. The Ideal Mentor Karl introduces three coach archetypes—Hider, Winger, and Installer. The most successful mentors don't just pile on tasks but help clients cut through noise and focus on what not to do, providing systems, accountability, and transformation over mere motivation. Learning from the Great Entrepreneurs Insights from Bezos, Musk, and others show that solving bigger problems, operating as if you're always 30 days from going out of business, and having a compelling North Star all lead to outsized success. Avoiding Unforced Errors Business is a game of minimizing mistakes, from "stupid taxes" to client audits using the 80/20 rule. Whether in the Super Bowl or business, those who avoid unforced errors typically win. Why Most Coaches Fail Instead of acting with conviction and serving business owners directly, many coaches waste productivity hanging out with other coaches, lack clarity, or never truly commit. The Power of a North Star and Personal Brand From Elon Musk's Mars mission to Gary Vee's obsession with attention, a powerful vision attracts results. Karl discusses practical personal branding in the social media era and why "who knows you" outweighs "who you know." Notable Quotes "Remember, a real mentor can tell you what NOT to do." "Amateurs talk, pros listen. Amateurs want to make it, pros want to keep it." "If you really want to feel productive… create a 'done list' versus a to-do list and get your top three done by 10am." "If you can't make fast buying decisions, you won't attract people who make fast buying decisions." "You don't need more motivation. What you need is less options." Actionable Takeaways Network where your clients are: Spend 80% of your outreach time in the spaces business owners frequent, not just talking shop with other coaches. Prioritize and narrow your focus: Each day, pick your top three high-leverage actions before adding anything else. Success compounds through focus and execution. Think in mental models: Apply the 80/20 rule, "what could go wrong?", and profit-driven frameworks to decision-making and client strategy. Build your personal brand deliberately: It's not just what you know or who you know, it's who knows you. Be visible, use social media strategically, and craft a clear message. Become an Installer, not a Winger: Develop systems your clients can implement and show them where to look, not what to see. Hold yourself and others accountable for action. Imitate the greats with your North Star: State your dream and mission boldly. Big claims lead to big impact, clarity, and opportunities. Minimize unforced errors: Audit your client list for profitability, avoid busywork, and learn from athletes: controlling mistakes wins championships (and businesses).

2 Peter 1:1-11 (ESV)Andrew, Isack, and Edwin discuss God's grace to give us all we need to partake in His divine nature. We don't do it by following Satan's advice to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We do it by actually knowing Jesus Christ.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.    Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

In this episode, Travis and Eric dive deep into the minds of today's top business influencers and creators — Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex Hormozi, Naval Ravikant, and Sharran Srivatsaa. Eric shares his take on what makes each one powerful, influential, and sometimes… a little overrated. With humor, hot takes, and honest reflection, this episode uncovers the truth behind influencer hype and what actually creates long-term business success. On this episode we talk about: Which business influencers truly earn their hype Why copying creators like Alex Hormozi misses the real point The underrated genius of Sharran Srivatsaa How context matters when following Gary Vee's advice The psychology behind imitation, credibility, and influence Top 3 Takeaways Imitating someone's style—like Alex Hormozi's yellow-text captions—won't make you successful. Imitate their work ethic and strategy instead. Gary Vee's “hustle” mindset only works if you understand the deeper message of self-awareness and finding what you love. True influence doesn't come from virality. It comes from credibility, consistent value, and playing the long game. Notable Quotes “Copying someone's font or video format doesn't build authority—it's the thousand hours of mastery behind it that matter.” “It's dangerous to take any advice out of context, especially if you haven't done the real work behind the scenes.” “When Alex Hormozi came on the scene, it wasn't luck. It was a grenade of credibility, volume, and great content all hitting at once.” Connect with Travis Chappell: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell • Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell • Other (Website): https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level — the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Series: The Long Work of New Creation - Week 3

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, Tyler Clark and Coleman Ayers sit down with Joerik Michiels for a wide-ranging conversation on coaching, entrepreneurship, learning, and personal evolution.Joerik shares his journey from building one of the first player development academies in Belgium to eventually walking away from multiple businesses in pursuit of freedom, alignment, and life quality. The conversation moves fluidly between gratitude practices, cultural differences in ambition, ego versus confidence in coaching, and what truly defines a great coach at different levels of the game.From practice design and skill acquisition to consistency, impostor syndrome, and becoming a “chef” rather than a “cook” as a coach, this episode offers deep insights for coaches who want to grow—not just technically, but as humans.

It began with a nightmare she never fully forgot — a man stepping out from behind a sheer closet curtain, silent and watching. Even after she woke, the feeling stayed. The sense that something hadn't left with the dream. As the years passed and the houses changed, the experiences followed in pieces. Footsteps that sounded exactly like someone familiar. A shadow moving calmly through a hallway. Objects shifting just enough to be noticed. Sounds that made sense until they didn't. Nothing announced itself. Nothing demanded attention. And for a long time, she convinced herself it was the houses — old wiring, thin walls, stress, imagination. Until something crossed a line. What unsettled her most wasn't fear, but recognition. The way the presence seemed to imitate instead of threaten. The way it watched without revealing intent. The way it appeared wherever she tried to start over. #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #ShadowFigure #HauntedHomes #RealHaunting #Unexplained #ParanormalPodcast #SupernaturalEncounters #CreepingFear #TrueParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

Read OnlineAs they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Matthew 17:9a & 10The final book of the Old Testament, written by the prophet Malachi around the fifth century BC, contains a prophecy that Elijah would return to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah (see Malachi 3:23–24). The scribes used this prophecy to argue that Jesus could not be the Messiah since Elijah had not yet returned, at least not in the way they expected. This argument caused confusion in the minds of Jesus' Apostles.Just before the event in today's Gospel passage, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain where He was transfigured before them, giving them a glimpse of His heavenly glory. This experience strengthened their conviction that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. However, as they descended the mountain, they asked Jesus about Malachi's prophecy, seeking to understand how Jesus could be the Messiah if Elijah had not yet come. Jesus clarified this for them: “‘I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him…' Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist” (Matthew 17:12–13).As we grow in our faith and become convinced of Jesus' identity as the Messiah, we might also encounter what appear to be contradictions. For example, faith and science sometimes seem to conflict, even though they are ultimately harmonious. The existence of human suffering and injustice can challenge our understanding of an all-powerful, all-loving God. Moral questions can arise when we encounter differing opinions, and various other experiences might seem difficult to reconcile with the Word of God.If you find yourself facing such challenges, take inspiration from Peter, James, and John. Allow your faith to deepen through moments of prayer and personal encounters with God. Then, do not shy away from questions that arise in your mind. If something seems contradictory to your faith, seek understanding. Turn to our Lord in prayer, study the teachings of the Church, read the writings of the saints, and trust that God's Wisdom is perfect. It will clarify every apparent contradiction and dispel all confusion. Reflect today on the example of these three Apostles seeking clarity from Jesus. They asked their question with faith, not with skepticism. They did not doubt but sought understanding. Imitate them with every question that arises in your mind so that you may find interior peace and become a beacon of wisdom to others.Lord of true Wisdom, You are Truth Itself. As I grow in my faith and as my faith is challenged in daily life, help me never to doubt but to seek You all the more. Grant me the gifts of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge so that I may become ever more fervent in following You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 350, “Who Do You Imitate?” Kim discusses the importance of being very careful in choosing who you imitate. Kim shared the sentiment of a song written about 20 years ago that showed what it might look like when someone imitates another's not so honorable behaviors, but also how the imitation of healthy behaviors might look. Be careful who you imitate, making sure to live a life that points any who choose to follow you to Christ and Christlikeness.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 28:1-4, with 2 and 3 as the focal verses:   2 Instead, he followed the example of the kings of Israel. He cast metal images for the worship of Baal. 3 He offered sacrifices in the valley of Ben-Hinnom, even sacrificing his own sons in the fire. In this way, he followed the detestable practices of the pagan nations the Lord had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians to imitate him as he imitated Christ. Is your current Christ walk so that you would be willing to tell someone to imitate you? If not, what needs to change?     Additional Resources and Scriptures:  1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

In this inspiring message, Ps Kenneth shares about the true heart of discipleship — the call to say, “Follow me, as I follow Christ.”  Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11:1, he reminds us that being a disciple isn't just about learning; it's about leading by example.Many believers, pastors, and churches hesitate to ask others to follow them, fearing pride or misunderstanding. But the essence of making disciples is living a life so anchored in Christ that others can confidently follow your example as you follow Him.

IPS DEPROGRAM 10/21 “PSYOPS IMITATE NETFLIX”

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions, running on a treadmill of obligations that leaves you feeling drained? What if the "checklist" of a good life is actually causing you to miss out on the point of life itself? There is a deep, lasting nourishment that your career, achievements, and bank account can never provide. This message is an invitation to discover the one thing you were designed for—a life of true satisfaction and joy, not just duty.

We all experience the daily tension between showing compassion and standing up for what's right. Often, it feels like we have to choose one over the other, leaving us feeling fake or conflicted. But what if the way of Jesus isn't an "either/or" but a "both/and"? This message explores a powerful, 2,000-year-old conversation that offers a simple, practical way to live with both genuine compassion and strong conviction.

There has been an increase in emotional distress across our world over the last decade. As Christians, we often ignore these darker emotions instead of expressing them, but what if the feelings we have are actually an invitation from God to deepen our faith? Join us this fall as we explore our emotional life together.  This week, Pastor Karla discusses how envy destroys relationships. If we can learn to celebrate with others, God restores us with joy.  Passage: Genesis 37; Romans 12:15 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

Imitate and Support those who are doing what's good.

We live in a world allergic to correction. Say something is wrong and you're judgmental; call someone higher and you're labeled toxic. But the Kingdom of God calls us to something better—correction that restores, not crushes.Paul shows that godly correction isn't condemnation—it's love that warns, invites, and walks beside. The goal isn't shame that destroys, but discomfort that redirects. Like a loving father, Paul calls his spiritual children back to joy: “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.” Correction that heals always reminds us who we are—beloved sons and daughters who reflect Jesus in both word and deed.Real transformation doesn't come from talk, but from power—the Spirit's power alive in us. The Kingdom doesn't move through empty words or defensive pride, but through humble imitation of Christ. When we receive correction in grace, we make space for resurrection power. And when we offer correction in love, we help others find their way home to joy.Godly Correction... Ensures there is love within the relationship Affirms the love within the relationship Does not Destroy Someone's Identity, but affirms identity in Christ Provides Direct Correction instead of coddling to the point of avoiding correction Calls to one's side - Uses "we" language Sounds like, "We are not people who do _______.  We are people who do ________. Godly correction doesn't shrink us—it strengthens us. It's the Spirit's way of saying, “This is who we are. Let's walk back together.

Children naturally imitate those they love and trust. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember how they learn by watching, copying, and repeating what they see. In the same way, God calls His children to imitate Him—to reflect His love, compassion, and holiness in our daily lives. Emily Rose Massey reminds us that just as parents model godly character for their children, we are called to model our lives after Christ. Jesus’ life was the ultimate picture of selfless love—He “gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Imitating Him means walking in humility, extending grace to others, and choosing love even when it costs us something. Imitating Christ also means learning from the examples of faithful believers who have gone before us—like Paul, who urged the early Church to follow his example as he followed Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). Paul’s life was marked by joy in suffering and unwavering trust in God. He modeled what it looks like to prioritize God’s glory over comfort and ease. As we spend time in God’s Word, abide in His presence, and walk alongside other believers, we are shaped into His likeness little by little. This lifelong process of imitation transforms us from the inside out, teaching us to love sacrificially and live for the glory of God rather than for ourselves. Today's Bible Reading: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." – Ephesians 5:1-2, ESV Key Takeaways We are called to imitate God by walking in love, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for us. True imitation begins with abiding in Christ and being transformed by His Spirit. Surround yourself with mentors and believers who model Christlike living. Every act of selfless love becomes a fragrant offering of worship to God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, thank You for saving me and calling me to walk in Your love. Help me to imitate Christ in every area of my life—my words, actions, and thoughts. Strengthen me to live with humility, grace, and boldness for Your glory. Surround me with believers who encourage me to walk faithfully and remind me to fix my eyes on Jesus, the perfect example of love and obedience. In His name I pray, Amen.

Mary welcomes Alexis Hermes to the podcast to talk about her book, "You Can, Through Christ". In this installment of SUFTT we look at discipleship, what it is and what it isn't. Primarily, it needs to be based on truth, and it needs to be relational, and reproduce itself. In these days of online church, and devices that prevent us from truly engaging with those around us, what does that look like? Or rather, what should it look like? Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations. That is truly a tall order, implying the gospel plus living it out, and how best to do that. It's not just for pastors or theologians, it is for all of us. But first, internal transformation is required, so that we are equipped to point people to the truth, sound doctrine, and how the body works together. We talk about several chapter themes in her book, and how each one presents a challenge to godly living. A full hour of conversation on how to pass the faith along. Can we say as Paul said, "Imitate me"?   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Sermon by Clair Sams How To Imitate Christ www.ihconvention.com

"If I cannot witness where I am comfortable, why would god call me to where I am unconfortable?" Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?
