What if the difference between being good and being truly great was simply a mindset shift?Too many entrepreneurs and business leaders play it safe—setting goals that feel achievable instead of ones that push their limits. They stay “relatable” instead of aiming to be remarkable. But according to today's guest, Jon Acuff, real breakthroughs happen when you set goals that challenge you.Jon Acuff is an INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker and the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including his most recent, All It Takes Is A Goal.In this episode, we break down why so many people settle for less than they're capable of—and how to break free from it. Jon shares how standing out beats blending in, how AI can amplify (not replace) your work, and why setting bigger, more challenging goals is the key to unlocking remarkable success. We also dive into the psychology of goal setting—why most people fail, how to tap into the right kind of motivation, and why belief follows action (not the other way around).3 of the biggest insights from Jon Acuff …#1.) Remarkability vs. Relatability—Why Playing it Safe is a MistakeMost people try to blend in, but standing out is where the real opportunity lies. Jon explains why financial advisors and business owners should focus on being remarkable rather than just relatable—because the people who get remembered are the ones who dare to be different.#2.) The Future of Content: How AI is Changing the GameAI isn't replacing creators—it's amplifying their work. Jon shares how he's leveraging AI to identify viral moments, repurpose content, and create more impact with less effort. The key? Using AI as a tool, not a crutch.#3.) Motivation vs. Belief—The Key to Achieving Big GoalsIs it motivation or belief that helps you hit your biggest goals? Jon breaks down the two types of motivation—fear-based and reward-based—and why taking action, even before you fully believe in yourself, is what truly leads to success.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/103FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a free copy of Jon's book, "All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-Step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap Into Your Massive Potential" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "103" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Is Sugar by Another Name Just as Sweet? Ali Wing and Oobli Are Fermenting Their Way to a Sweet Protein Future We all know that eating too much sugar isn't good for us, but millions of years of evolution led us to love sweet foods. After all, they provide us with a quick boost of energy needed in an ancestral environment where we were largely active throughout the day. Of course, today most people in the developed world are far from being active all day, yet we still crave sugar and eat it in an abundance far greater than what was available to our distant ancestors from whom we descend. There've been plenty of attempts to create sweetness without the negative effects that go along with eating the refined sugars we seem to love so much. From older products like aspartame to newer ones like stevia or allulose, a pot of gold awaits those who can help humanity satiate our sweet tooth without contributing to the health crises we now face. To that end, we're talking today with Oobli CEO Ali Wing about her company's efforts to commercialize the world's first sweet proteins. Yes, you read that right: sweet proteins. In 2022 Oobli closed a $25 million Series B round, bringing the company's total fundraising to date to $40 million.  So, how do they create sweet proteins? As you'll hear Ali describe in this episode, some plants naturally produce proteins that happen to be sweet as an evolutionary trick. It'd be difficult to mass produce those plants, but via microbial fermentation, Oobli has figured out how to produce the bioidentical proteins themselves.  I had the pleasure of enjoying some of Oobli's pre-market products and I certainly couldn't tell the difference myself. I was especially excited to try the company's chocolate bar which tastes as sweet as a full-sugar bar, but with 70 percent less sugar.  It's an exciting way to sweeten the food industry without turning our health sour. I think you'll enjoy hearing Ali tell you the story of how she and her team intend to make your life, and your health, a little bit sweeter. Discussed in this episode Paul recommends Sugar: A Bittersweet History by Elizabeth Abbott Ali recommends Loonshots by Safi Bahcall Ali also recommends John Doerr's books Ali mentions this study about the metabolic impacts of alt-sugars More about Ali Wing A growth CEO, Ali is best known for tackling big consumer problems, brand strategy & building high performing, agile teams. Specializing at the intersection of consumer brands, technology & healthy living, Ali's value creation track record crosses CPG, retail, technology, healthcare & biotech.  Ali is currently the CEO & Director of Oobli, Inc., a food technology company leveraging precision fermentation to disrupt sugar. Prior to Oobli, Ali served as the Chief Consumer Officer of Bright Health Group, EVP of Digital/Chief Brand Officer at Ascena Retail Group, Founder/CEO/ Chairwoman of giggle, an EIR for a variety of venture-backed consumer software & technology companies & a Corporate Securities Attorney in the Silicon Valley.  Ali launched her career at NIKE in brand leadership & strategy. In addition to her operating role at Oobli, Ali currently serves as an independent director on the boards of Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY) & Worldwide Orphans (WWO), & acts as an advisor to several growth technology companies.  Previously Ali served as an independent director for Bazaarvoice (NASDAQ: BV) until it was sold to Marlin Equity in early 2018. Ali lives in the California with her husband, has an only son in college & holds a dual JD / MBA from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.  Ali has completed Harvard Business School's 2020/2021 Corporate Governance Certificate Program & was recognized among Women's Inc Top 100 Corporate Board of Directors in 2019.

Jon Acuff is paving the way. He's paving the way for his daughters as he just co-wrote a book with them (!) and he's paving the way for us with practical, relatable information that makes our lives better.  In 2021, Jon wrote Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking and he has this way of doling out information that sticks. It slides into your brain and rolls around in there and connects with your other thoughts and helps you make more heartfelt choices. It was an honor and a hoot to get a chance to talk with Jon about parenting topics like helping kids learn their "turn down" techniques for when life has gone haywire, like giving kids time to practice skills during childhood so that they feel prepared for adulthood, like being purposeful and present with today's relationships. We also talk about legos. And queso. And skittles and failure. Jon's daughters, L.E. and McRae wrote a sequel to Soundtracks that's geared for teens called "Your New Playlist" and Jon was their editor.  As a New York Times Bestselling Author and INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker, Jon packs it the good stuff while being entertaining, witty, and memorable through and through.

Jon Acuff is an NYT Bestselling Author of 7 books and INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker. He got people to "Start," taught them how to follow through and "Finish," and is now bringing people to the realization of their personal hang-ups and overthinking. "Soundtracks" is his new book and the basis of a lot of the conversation in this episode, those being about a mentality that plays on repeat in our head adjusting how we act and perceive the world, and how to adjust those "Soundtracks" to promote a more positive and affirming reality for ourselves. Jon is just full of fun and clever ways of approaching success and personal shortcomings. He also clearly "walks the walk" referencing many of the tools discussed by literally talking about his work graphs and alluding to little notes he's written himself. It's a fun episode and it's obvious he's given real thought to what he's saying with how effortlessly it seems to roll off his tongue. Are you notorious for getting in your own way? Maybe a chronic over-thinker, yourself? This is the one for you.Youtube Link to This EpisodeJon Acuff's Website - https://acuff.me/Jon Acuff's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jonacuff/

However, even as he was earning a lot of money then, he felt that there was no sense of fulfillment in what he's doing. So in 2009, he started to look for ways not just to invest but to invest with a purpose. Then one day, he met a buyer who really wanted to purchase a property but was unable to afford it. It's a sad reality that a lot of people still don't have access to traditional mortgages. He realized that this was an opportunity for investing while helping a deserving family at the same time. That's when the concept of philanthroinvesting was born. Today, Ivan is the Founder of Equity & Help, a real estate investment company that aims to help investors achieve their financial goals while making a real difference in people's lives.

Our guest today was by his own judgment, a slow learner. It took him 19 months before he learned to walk and people kept asking his parents what was wrong with him. When he went to school at the age of 3, he spent a lot of time sitting under his desk instead of participating in class. He was very often sick, was constantly on antibiotics for terrible ear infections, and in and out of surgeries to try to fix his hearing problem. He jumped between three different schools and his parents were worried that he wasn't getting the extra attention he needed and he also wasn't making any friends. Fast forward: He's still shy today. He hates small talk. He's scared of the camera and he's scared of being on stage. Nevertheless, today he has a YouTube channel with more than 2.8 million subscribers and over 6,500 videos. Why? There seems to be two reasons: Firstly: He found out that he had a true passion for helping others, and he used this drive to do exactly that. Secondly: and this is the title of one of his Keynotes: “FEAR is NOT a Good Enough REASON to NOT TAKE ACTION!” Murray Newlands said about our guest in a Forbes article: “The only thing stronger than his friendly personality is his drive to help others meet the success that he achieved.” After reading his book “Your one word” I immediately sent him a Direct Message on LinkedIn to ask him if he would like to join us on our Podcast. His answer? Let´s do it Michael! For almost exactly 4 years we are on our “way to new work”. How can a topic that plays such an important part in our everyday life create more meaning in our lives again? How do we get people to draw strength and motivation from their daily work again? How can one succeed in living a happy, healthy, productive and fulfilling life even in such difficult times?We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! We are always concerned with the question of whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being. How can we make sure that each and everyone of us will find their inner driving force or as our guest today would call it, her or his one word?” You are at “On the Way to New Work” - today with Evan Carmichael.

In recent years, we have experienced a massive transformation in the way organizations relate to the people they serve. The focus has shifted from ownership to access, from transactions to relationships, from single payment to subscription pricing, and from one-way conversation to open dialogue. In this new Membership Economy, businesses are called on to build trusted relationships with customers in order to earn their loyalty. Robbie Baxter is the founder of Peninsula Strategies, a consulting firm that supports solopreneurs, venture-backed startups and industry leaders in developing business strategy. She has 20 years of experience working on growth initiatives with nearly 100 organizations in 20-plus industries, including ASICS, Netflix and The Wall Street Journal. Baxter is also the author of The Membership Economy: Find Your Superusers, Master the Forever Transaction, and Build Recurring Revenue, an Inc Top 5 Marketing Book of 2015, and she received her MBA from Stanford, where she serves as the Vice Chair of Stanford Women on Boards. Today, Baxter explains the Membership Economy, describing how she supports entrepreneurs and startups in building authentic relationships with their clients and customers. She shares her transition from corporate product marketing to independent consulting, discussing how being the mother of young children made it difficult for her to be an A-player in a traditional nine-to-five setting. Listen in for Baxter's insight on defining your area of expertise and learn how to choose a career path that works for your life. Key Interview Takeaways Businesses benefit from building relationships with customers. Baxter coined the term Membership Economy to represent the massive shift in how organizations relate to the people they serve, developing trust with consumers in order to win their loyalty. Independent consulting requires niching down to a specific area of expertise. Baxter fell in love with the Netflix business model and leveraged her understanding of the Membership Economy to build a successful consulting business helping entrepreneurs and startups establishing meaningful relationships with clients and customers. Integrity is key in the membership economy. Subscription businesses that don't treat their customers well will lose them. As an independent consultant doing knowledge work, it doesn't matter WHEN you work on a project, as long as you complete it on time. The flexible model affords more control over your career and may be ideal for women who are the mothers of young children.

Raise your hands if you have goals? And sometimes, way too many goals? Me too! I have MANY goals and accomplish very few of them. It can be super frustrating to keep missing the mark on your personal and professional goals in the season of raising kids. Jon Acuff to the rescue! I was so delighted to interview a New York Times bestselling author and INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker about the idea of goals.I have always been drawn to the way Jon communicates in the business space and we can learn so much from him as parents. He has the ability to make complicated topics simple. In this episode, he will motivate you to make progress in life - while giving yourself grace. He really encouraged me to realize that the distractions and busyness of our lives are stacked against us, but there is hope and ways we can combat this reality.My favorite part is when we discuss my pattern of quitting things. He gave me such great counsel on how to go after my goals in a realistic and healthy way. You'll also get a laugh out of the moment he realized his kids dropped a nap. He was furious. I can remember that moment myself. Connect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The MessCourtney DeFeoResources from today's show:Without WaveringJonAcuff.comJon's book for teens, Your New PlaylistJon's newest book, All It Takes Is a GoalJon's InstagramJon's podcast, Colleen Berry episodeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
