You're hustling. You're working hard. You're making sales. But somehow, you're not seeing the profit you expected. Sound familiar? Today we're diving into the hidden money leaks that are quietly draining your business, and most of them have nothing to do with your P&L.I'm breaking down the five major areas where scaling businesses are burning through money: operations, team structure, offers and pricing, marketing and sales, and you. We're talking about manual processes that should be automated, paying for hours you're not using, not knowing if your packages are actually profitable, burning through leads with a 10% close rate, and saying yes to misaligned clients that take 4x longer to serve. I'm sharing why you had to burn through $90,000 in potential revenue to generate $10,000, the $50,000 client that almost slipped away because of no follow-up, and how one team member saved us years of work by finding one platform.This episode will make you uncomfortable, but it will also give you a clear roadmap to plug the leaks keeping you from scaling profitably.00:44 Introduction03:12 Understanding Operational Inefficiencies05:05 Real-Life Example: Saving Costs with Automation07:59 The Importance of Efficient Processes12:45 Defining Roles and Responsibilities with RACI15:36 The Role of Operations in Scaling Your Business21:32 Team Inefficiencies: Common Pitfalls and Solutions34:29 Evaluating Team Contributions35:49 Auditing Offers and Pricing37:54 Client Retention Strategies39:21 The Pitfalls of Overdelivery44:26 Optimizing Marketing and Sales53:38 The Cost of Misaligned ClientsTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to end with a message that isn't about hustle, resolutions, or reinventing yourself—but about finishing well. In this final episode of the year, we step into the sacred space of 2 Timothy, Paul's last letter, and explore what it means to live with boldness, obedience, and quiet endurance in a world obsessed with performance.This isn't about flashy faith or spiritual ambition. It's about faithful women who stay the course—even when it's hard, even when no one's watching, even when the applause fades.I share some personal stories about how I used to chase visibility and validation in the New Age, how I tried to gather teachers who told me what I wanted to hear, and how God lovingly disrupted all of that. Together, we'll reflect on spiritual legacy, obedience, discernment, and the quiet glory of a woman who chooses to finish the race set before her.In this episode you'll hear:Why 2 Timothy is the perfect closing message for the end of the yearThe difference between spiritual performance and spiritual enduranceWhat it means to share God's Word even if no one seems to be listeningThe dangers of “ear-tickling” messages in New Age and modern spiritualityHow to live out a legacy of quiet, generational faith like Lois and EuniceWhy finishing your race matters more than how perfectly you started itI also shared a lot of journal questions for you to work with that I hope will support you at any time of the year.Whether this year felt fruitful or like a wilderness, I pray this episode anchors you in what matters most: keeping the faith.The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

Have you ever lost everything you thought you were? Today's guest went from Division 1 soccer player to overdosing on pills, to building a $10 million supplement company, to losing it all to predatory financing, to rebuilding a seven-figure business in six months. Neal Thakkar's story is raw, real, and one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on this show.Neal is an entrepreneur performance strategist and founder of Integrity First Funding, helping entrepreneurs secure $50,000 to $250,000+ in business funding. But what makes his story so compelling isn't just what he's building now, it's everything he's survived to get here. We're talking about the painful truth of what hitting your first million actually feels like, why winning in business doesn't feel like winning at all, the hidden danger of taking extreme ownership (you're also accepting you might be irresponsible), why he gained 90 pounds as a bodybuilder to physically transform his identity after addiction, and how he went from owing $2,000 just for waking up in the morning to helping other entrepreneurs avoid the same predatory funding trap that cost him everything. Neal shares the leadership lesson most entrepreneurs miss (the difference between leading people and managing tasks), why meditation an hour a day for seven years changed everything, and why when things started going downhill again, he'd lost that practice.This episode will move you, inspire you, and force you into deep reflection about what you're really chasing and why. We're talking about ego death, identity shifts, the messy process of sitting with yourself, and why you can do anything but you can't do everything - the most painful pill for ambitious people to swallow.0:41 Introduction01:28 Neal's Background and Early Struggles02:56 The Turning Point: Overcoming Adversity04:45 The Power of Self-Reflection and Transformation12:09 Addiction and Recovery: A Personal Battle14:56 Rebuilding and Redefining Success19:09 The Role of Values and Identity in Success31:49 From Bodybuilding to Entrepreneurship41:45 The Birth of a Business: Neal's Entrepreneurial Journey42:50 Journey into the Supplement Industry43:34 The Role of Curiosity in Entrepreneurship47:58 The Reality of Winning in Business48:50 The Importance of Patience and Persistence56:31 Leadership and Management Challenges01:04:31 Transitioning to a New Venture01:07:27 Reflections and Advice for Entrepreneurs01:20:17 The Hidden Costs of AmbitionConnect with Neal: InstagramWebsite To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Avui al Bacstage ens visiten Núria Casas i Arnau Roca, una de les parelles que més triomfen a les xarxes socials de Casa Nostra. Presenten el seu últim projecte: "L'Iti, el petit Manatí", que va començar gairebé com una broma i s'ha acabat convertint en un univers de contes i joguines per als més petits

Honestly, I Think We Just Need Jesus!Acts 2:40 “And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, 'Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”I chose this episode to replay for you today for two reasons. The first is because if you are listening to this on the day I released it, then we celebrate Jesus' coming into the world in just four days, and we need Jesus more than ever! The second is because there was a loss in our family last Thursday, and so many people are hurting, and they just need Jesus right now to help them through it.  There is a song that I have heard on the radio more and more recently, and these last few days, it has been running repeatedly in my mind. I can't seem to get it out of my head. I am not sure I want to get it out of my head, as the words that are running through my head are. Honestly, I think we need Jesus by Terrian. Since I can't seem to shake this song, and then I read the verse above this morning, I think the Lord wants me to share it with you. I will place a link for the song in the show notes, as she does a much better job singing it than I do. I also love that she is young and yet can still see that we need more Jesus. I will go over the lyrics of the song with you today.The song starts with:I got a front-row seat to the madnessI pick up my phone every mornin' out of habitI've been fiendin' for the drama, yeah, I said itI'm addicted to the rush, need a medicHow many of us pick up our phones or turn on the news first thing when we wake up? How many of us want to know what is going on in the world before we even stop and spend our time with God? I use my phone for an alarm, so I would turn off my alarm, and then I would check my messages, emails, and Facebook before I would sit down with the Lord and spend time with Him. I have gotten better; now, I just check my messages, mostly to make sure my kids got home safely. Sometimes I still check my emails, but I am getting better and usually save that for later.I love how the songwriter points out that we usually pick up our phones out of habit. This isn't just the first thing in the morning. We do this all throughout the day. I bet we all spend more time than we would like on our phones. I also like how they bring our attention to the fact that we are “Fiendin' for the drama” and “addicted to the rush.” It seems we are drawn to the conflict and the drama more than the good things that are happening. I don't know if that is because we crave drama or because that is all the news tends to show us. Either way, there is good and bad going on in the world, and it is up to us to choose which we seek out and focus on.The song goes on to say:When I take a step back, I can see itAll the pain, all the fear we've been feelin'Losin' sight of the thing that we're needin'That we're needin' This is a great reminder that sometimes we need to take a step back. When we do, we see that we are focusing on all of our pain and fear that we are feeling instead of focusing on the one who can take all that pain and fear away. When we watch the news or listen to all that is going on in the world, we tend to get overwhelmed. We can also start to feel a sense of hopelessness. We can feel a sense that the world is going crazy, and there is nothing we can do about it. However, we are never hopeless because we are children of God, and we can always turn to Him, and He can save us. There is nothing too hard for God to handle.Next, the song says:Honestly, I think we just need JesusHonestly, I think we just need JesusHave we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?What used to be wrong, we say that it's rightHonestly, I think we just need Jesus This is the part that gets stuck in my head. I can't think of a truer statement. I can see how our country is falling apart because we keep removing God from more and more things. This country was founded with God. He was a part of the government; yes, Church and State were separate, and yet God and State weren't. God was invited into the Constitution; he was invited into the pledge of allegiance. He was invited into our courtrooms. God was welcome everywhere. Now, it seems He is welcome nowhere.I also love how the song says, “Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds? What used to be wrong, we say that it's right.” We have all thought this for a long time now, and it is nice to hear it in a song, so we know we aren't the only ones who think it. This world does seem to have gone mad, and it does seem like we are all losing our minds. Some of the things that seem to be ok in the world today still shock me.  I think this song points out very real and honest questions. Have we all gone mad? Have we all lost our minds? Take a good, long look in the mirrorSearch my heart and soul, make it clearerHelp me take your love, trade the bitterLeave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord I think it would be a great idea if we all stopped and took a good look in the mirror. What are we doing? Not what is the world doing, but what are we doing? Are we staying true to God in this crazy world? Are we staying above all the drama and walking in the light of Christ? Are we showing love and hope to everyone we meet? We are all called to be “little Christs” to all we meet. Are we doing so? Are we loving everyone, even those who aren't like us? Even those who aren't living their lives the way we think they should? Even those whom we don't like. God said to love our enemies. Are we doing that?The next line says, “Search my heart and soul, make it clearer.” Do we want God to search our hearts and souls? What would He find? I do like how it says to make it clearer. With all that is going on in this world, and all this world says is ok, the water we wade into can get muddy. I don't think the world makes it easy or clear how we should live our lives. We need to focus on God and ask God to help make it clear to us what He wants from us and how He wants us to live.It also says, “Help me take your love, trade the bitter. Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord.” It can be easy to become bitter. We live in a broken world, and people offend us all the time. Things aren't fair, and sometimes good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. This can make us bitter. We need God to come in and replace our bitterness with His love. We need His help to walk away from the bitter and leave it in the dust.  We've been preachin', we've been drinkin' in the vanity (in the vanity)Now it's got us questionin' our sanity (sanity)And we wonder how we get all this anxietyIt's clear to me Yep, I think we have all probably questioned our sanity at some point over the last few years. I definitely think there is a lot of vanity in this day and age as well. With everyone having phones and taking photos every moment of every day, we have become obsessed with how we look and what we have. We want to make sure our life looks as good online as everyone else's life does. This leads us to do and say things that aren't always true. We act online like our lives are perfect, and yet so many of our children and adults are hurting inside, but don't reach out and get help because everyone else seems like they are doing so well. This definitely makes us question our sanity because our lives are falling apart, and everyone else seems to have it all together. I love the line that says, “And we wonder how we get all this anxiety.” Exactly!! All of the things I just talked about, along with the news, the decline of our country, and the division in our country, we wonder why everyone is so anxious.After the song repeats the chorus about us just needing Jesus, it goes on to say:We turn away (we turn away)We're running back to you (oh-oh)Covered in grace (covered in grace)God, You can make us new (make us new) Yes! We are like a revolving door. We turn away from the Lord and then turn back to Him, then we turn away, and then we turn back. I love how the author of this song understands that even when we do this, we are covered in grace. God will always accept us back in. He is not angry with us that we have turned away. He is happy that we have turned back. God is always there with open arms, waiting for us to turn back to Him. God is the only one who can make us new. We may think we have done too much, we have really messed up this time, and there is no hope for us. There is always hope in the Lord. He can make us new, He can make our country new, He can make our world new. We just have to invite Him in and ask Him.The song ends by repeating the chorus. I will leave you with those words.Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus (we need You, oh)Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?What used to be wrong, we say that it's rightHonestly, we need, we need You, JesusOh, Jesus, Jesus, JesusWe need You, Jesus, JesusOh, JesusJesus, Jesus (we're running back)(We're running back to You) JesusWe're runnin' back to You, oh (Jesus)Yeah, Jesus, JesusMake us new Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you, and we are sorry we turned away; please help us to turn back. We are sorry our country is falling apart. Please show us how we can help to bring you back into our country. Please put in our hearts what you are calling us to do. Please help us to stop searching for the drama and start searching for you. Help us to be your love and light to others instead of spreading the drama and the worry. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Do you feel like everything needs you right now? Like you need more than one of you to get everything done? You're scrolling social media when you know what you should actually be doing, spending hours tweaking Canva graphics that don't move the needle, and letting other people's urgency dictate your entire day.Today I'm breaking down the triage system I use with all my scaling clients to help them stop living in constant firefighting mode and actually focus on what grows their business. I'm teaching you the Eisenhower Matrix, the four quadrants every task falls into, and the exact step-by-step process you can use in under 10 minutes every single day to sort your to-do list. We're talking about the common mistakes that keep you busy but not productive, why you're creating urgency in things that aren't actually urgent, and how protecting Quadrant 2 (important but not urgent tasks) is the unlock to scaling your business. I'm also calling out the uncomfortable truth: you're probably part of the problem when it comes to people putting their urgency on you, and we need to fix that.This episode is a masterclass in productivity, prioritization, and getting back in the driver's seat of your business instead of feeling like an employee to your own to-do list.00:38 Introduction01:27 Understanding the Concept of Triaging03:40 The Importance of Prioritization06:45 Common Mistakes in Business Prioritization29:47 The Eisenhower Matrix: A Solution for Prioritization37:27 Managing Urgency and Importance45:38 Brain Dump and Task Categorization50:22 Prioritizing and Delegating TasksTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Are you dealing with painful periods, missing cycles, weight gain you can't explain, anxiety that won't go away, or fertility struggles that your doctor keeps calling "unexplained"? What if I told you that being a woman is not a diagnosis, and those symptoms your doctor keeps brushing off as "normal" are actually your body trying to tell you something?Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Jessica Dupont, a naturopathic doctor and fertility expert who is completely rewriting how women understand their bodies. Jessica breaks down why we're living in a cortisol era where chronically high stress has rewired our brains to think constant overwhelm is normal. She's explaining the three major shifts that have happened in women's health over the last 10 to 15 years, why most women in their thirties who think they're in perimenopause actually just need cortisol regulation, and her revolutionary Fertility 3.0 approach that focuses on egg competence, not just egg count. We're talking about the bacteria that causes recurring miscarriages that most fertility clinics aren't even testing for, why you can improve your egg quality in as little as 90 days, and what cycle syncing actually means (spoiler: you don't need to eat specific foods on certain days).This conversation completely changed how I think about my own health. If you're a high-achieving woman who's been told your symptoms are "just stress" or "just being a woman," this episode is going to feel like the permission slip and roadmap you've been waiting for.00:41 Introduction 01:22 Meet Jessica Dupont: Naturopathic Doctor05:57 The Cortisol Era and Women's Health08:08 The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Women's Health24:11 Understanding Cortisol and Its Effects49:33 Debunking Menstrual Myths50:41 Understanding the Menstrual Cycle56:59 Fertility and Egg Quality01:04:37 Proactive Fertility Planning01:14:53 Perimenopause: What You Need to Know01:24:49 Empowering Women's HealthConnect with Jessica: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Elle ne mesure que 200 kilomètres, et pourtant, elle bouleverse le commerce mondial. Une nouvelle ligne ferroviaire est annoncée entre l'Iran et la Turquie. Les rails aux abords du lac de Van, dans l'est iranien, traverseront la frontière avec la Turquie. Les deux pays ont signé le projet la semaine dernière, le 30 novembre à Téhéran, la capitale de l'Iran. Avec ce nouveau tronçon qui ouvrira dans quatre ans, deux régions du monde pourront se rejoindre sans interruption : l'Asie et l'Europe. Les chemins de fer en Iran sont lents, les rails vieillis, mais le train reste tout de même le moyen le plus simple et le moins cher pour transporter les marchandises. C'est justement en vue d'élargir son économie que cette nouvelle ligne de 200 kilomètres Marand-Cheshmeh Soraya, entre l'Iran et la Turquie, va s'ouvrir.  L'Iran et la Turquie possèdent de nombreuses lignes de train. Le projet de traverser la frontière iranienne depuis la ville de Marand est un projet ancien. Depuis dix ans, le poids de l'embargo international visant Téhéran en raison de son projet de développement nucléaire empêche le pays de bénéficier d'investissements en infrastructures. L'accord signé à Téhéran le 30 novembre marquera le trait d'union entre Occident et Asie. Après une poignée de main, les ministres du Commerce et des Affaires étrangères turcs et iraniens se sont félicités de devenir des acteurs du transport mondial. Une stratégie de long terme  Grâce à cette nouvelle voie ferrée, la route sera directe et ininterrompue entre la Chine et l'Europe. Les Chinois ont d'ailleurs inscrit l'Iran et la Turquie dans leur mega-projet de connexions internationales « nouvelles routes de la soie »/« ceintures de la Soie ». Les trains pourront rouler sur ce nouveau passage avec 27 voitures cargo chargées de marchandises de transit. Le projet prévoit d'accroître le volume de transport. Une première étape prévoit 1 500 tonnes par mois. Si la circulation s'avère efficace, la capacité pourrait passer à 20 000 tonnes mensuelles. Le continent européen et la Chine sont deux immenses bassins de consommateurs. Ce nouvel axe ferré entre Marand (Iran) et Cheshmeh Soraya (Turquie) sera donc dédié au transport de marchandises. Aucun des deux pays n'a évoqué la possibilité d'en faire une ligne touristique pour passagers. À lire aussiNouvelles routes de la soie, 10 ans après Le rail entre lac et montagnes Ce n'est pas facile d'installer des rails dans cette région montagneuse irano-turque, entre lac et montagnes. La présence du lac de Van, à l'est de la Turquie, avec ses 120 kilomètres de long, a toujours empêché la fluidité du transport ferroviaire. Jusqu'ici, les trains étaient obligés de s'arrêter aux bords du lac. Ensuite, ils déchargeaient leurs cargaisons sur des bateaux pour pouvoir atteindre l'autre rive et continuer le chemin. Le lac de Van est le plus vaste du pays. La nouvelle ligne de train entre Marand-Cheshmeh Soraya contournera cet obstacle.  Cependant, Emile Bouvier, chercheur et auteur pour la revue Les Clés du Moyen-Orient, qui emprunte régulièrement les trains turcs et iraniens, reconnaît que construire des voies ferrées dans cette région n'est pas si facile : « Effectivement, ce projet offrira un itinéraire ininterrompu entre la Chine et l'Europe. Mais j'insiste sur le fait que ce n'est pas un projet facile à mettre en place. Je connais cette région à la frontière irano-turque, elle est traversée par des chaînes montagneuses. Il n'y est pas aisé d'installer des infrastructures. L'avantage de cette ligne de 200 kilomètres est de compléter des passages déjà équipés en réseau ferré et maritime. Ainsi, il donnera à la Chine l'accès à la mer Noire et à la mer Méditerranée. » Les travaux de la ligne Marand-Cheshmeh Soraya s'étaleront jusqu'en 2029. Le coût estimé est de 1,6 milliard de dollars.  Le rôle de la guerre en Ukraine  Depuis 2014 avec le début de l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine, la géopolitique a évolué en pénalisant la Russie. Les sanctions pétrolières décidées il y a trois ans après l'offensive massive de Moscou sur le territoire ukrainien ont bloqué les échanges commerciaux entre la Russie et les pays européens. Par conséquent, privée des routes russes, la Chine a dû s'adapter. Cette nouvelle liaison entre l'Iran et la Turquie apparaît comme un ancrage supplémentaire de la Chine au Moyen-Orient et en Europe. Certains experts comme Nicolas Monceau, spécialiste de l'Iran à l'Institut français de recherches internationales (IFRI), y voient un message envoyé au reste du monde. « L'ouverture de ce tronçon a une forte puissance symbolique. L'Iran et la Turquie s'adressent ainsi au reste du monde. Ils entendent faire partie intégrante du projet des routes ou nouvelles ceintures de la soie, lancé en 2013 par les autorités chinoises. Les lignes ferroviaires commerciales russes étant fermées, la Chine a dû se tourner vers les pays d'Asie centrale et du Moyen-Orient pour assurer ses liaisons vers l'Europe. L'Iran et la Turquie profitent de leur position centrale dans la géographie mondiale. L'Iran et la Turquie ont l'ambition de devenir des plateformes du transport international. Après les marchandises et le commerce, je parie sur une expansion plus marquée du tourisme d'affaires et de loisirs. Cette étape au Moyen-Orient constitue une réelle opportunité entre deux grandes parties du monde », développe Nicolas Monceau. Cette nouvelle liaison entre l'Iran et la Turquie aura d'autant plus de valeur qu'un autre pays, le Pakistan, s'y ajoute. L'annonce est officielle. Le Pakistan s'intéresse aux deux pays via une autre route, plus large et plus centrale : l'ancienne ligne de marchandises ITI (Istanbul-Téhéran-Islamabad). La réouverture de la ligne ITI rouvrira dans 25 jours, soit pour le 1ᵉʳ janvier 2026.

Are you attracting the wrong clients? Does your sales process feel harder than it should? Are you constantly trying to convince people to convert even though you know you're offering an incredible service?Here's what's actually happening: you're saying premium, but your pricing and packages don't feel premium. Or you're marketing luxury but delivering a mass market experience. This misalignment is creating massive friction in your business, and most entrepreneurs don't even realize it's happening.Today I'm breaking down the three brand tiers that exist in every industry: Mass Market, Premium, and Luxury. Understanding which category you're in (or want to be in) will completely change how you price, market, sell, and attract clients. I'm walking you through examples like Target versus Apple versus Chanel, McDonald's versus Starbucks versus a Michelin star restaurant, and breaking down what each tier means for your pricing strategy, marketing approach, and client experience. This isn't about one being better than the other. It's about knowing which brand you're building and making sure everything in your business actually aligns with that category.00:35 Introduction 03:21 Understanding Brand Categories and Their Impact13:18 Mass Market Brands: Characteristics and Strategies32:11 Premium Brands: Characteristics and Strategies37:52 Apple's Experience Revolution39:50 The Value of Premium Products42:00 Setting Prices as a Premium Brand43:50 Discounts and Bonuses Strategy44:57 Marketing to Premium Customers51:46 Understanding Luxury Brands54:25 The Essence of Selling LuxuryTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Have you ever thought about starting a product-based business? Maybe you've wondered what it would take to get a product into stores, scale it into a household name, or if you should add products to your existing service-based business.Today I'm sitting down with Madison Page, who has helped brands go from a few thousand dollars a month on Etsy all the way to landing in major retailers like Anthropologie. Madi breaks down the real difference between having a small business versus building an actual brand, startup costs, manufacturing versus handmade, and why some product businesses scale infinitely while others plateau.We're diving into case studies like Coach (who 4x'd their stock price in two years), Liquid Death, and Scrub Daddy. Madi also shares why she's seen clients with 100,000 followers struggle to make $3,000 a month while others with 2,500 followers consistently pull in $10,000 to $15,000 monthly. The difference?

When was the last time you actually sat down and reflected on where you're at?Not the "I'll think about it while I'm rushing through my to-do list" kind of reflection. I'm talking about actually sitting with yourself, asking the hard questions, and getting real about what's working, what's not, and where you're actually going.Today's episode is different. This is a full reflection exercise that I'm walking you through, both personally and professionally. I'm asking you the same questions I ask myself and my clients, and I'm sharing my own raw answers as we go.We're covering what made you proud this year (even if nobody noticed), where you drained yourself, what boundaries you slipped on, what surprised you about your growth, where you self-sabotaged, and what you actually want for next year. I'm also getting honest about where I overextended, under-resourced myself, and tried to pretend I wasn't human this year.Grab a journal or your notes app. You can listen and reflect as you go, or come back to this one quarterly. Either way, this is the clarity work that actually creates direction.00:46 Introduction06:03 Personal Reflection Questions14:10 Professional Reflection Questions20:49 Wins and Wake-Up Calls32:01 Facing Fears and Taking Risks33:39 Overextending and Setting Boundaries39:24 Personal Goals and Daily Life42:13 Becoming Your Future Self45:35 Sustaining Growth Without Burnout51:11 Long-Term Vision and Focus58:54 Reflection and DirectionTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we just hit 100 episodes of the Ambitious Podcast.This is not your typical episode. No guest, no strategy framework, no business breakdown. Today is just you and me, getting real about what this journey has been like. The messy parts, the vulnerable parts, the parts I was terrified to share but did anyway.We're diving into why I really started this podcast (spoiler: it was a strategic move that became so much more), what I was feeling before I hit record on episode one, the mindset shifts that completely changed me, and the moments I wanted to quit. I'm also getting honest about what ambition used to mean to me versus what it means now, the hardest decision I've ever made, and what I hope this show becomes in the next 100 episodes.If you've been here since the beginning, thank you.

Can a single sentence change the way you see the world? My guest on this episode, James Geary thinks so.Episode SummaryOn this episode, I speak with writer and journalist James, whose lifelong fascination with aphorisms — the world's shortest literary form — reveals why brevity really is the soul of wit. James explains what makes an aphorism work, shares the five laws that define them, and explores how these concise little sayings have guided human thought from ancient times to social media. We discuss:The difference between aphorisms and proverbsHow short phrases can serve as decision-making tools and emotional signpostsWhy humour and contradiction are central to wisdomHow modern culture, marketing, and even AI continue the aphoristic traditionJames's book The World in a Phrase and why he chose to update it 20 years after originally publishing itI also ask him whether my friend James Victore's phrase 'what made you weird as a kid, makes you great today' is an aphorism (spoiler alert: it is!).Guest bioJames Geary is a writer, journalist, and Deputy Curator at Harvard's Nieman Foundation for Journalism. He is the author of 'The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism' and 'Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists'.Links to topics James' book The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism (Second Edition) — University of Chicago Press page.

Ever had a brilliant idea that never made it past your brain? Or watched a dream die because someone poked too many holes in it before you even had a chance to build it?In this episode of Ambitious, George Bryant is back to teach one of the most powerful frameworks I've ever learned. This is the Dream Storming model, originally created by Walt Disney to bring Disneyland to life. We're breaking down the three core buckets (Dreamer, Builder, and Protector), the exact rules for each state, and how to recognize which bucket you naturally live in versus which one you go to when triggered.But here's where it gets really good: this framework isn't just for your business. George and I get vulnerable about how we use this in our long-distance relationship, how it's transformed the way we communicate during conflict, and why understanding someone's dominant state can completely shift the dynamic in your partnerships, friendships, and even with your kids.00:00 Introduction12:25 The Walt Disney Dream Storming Story18:09 Applying the Dream Storming Model33:50 Understanding the Dreamer Bucket34:32 Transitioning to the Builder Bucket35:04 Entering the Protector Bucket35:22 Applying the Dream Storming Process36:02 Facilitating Dream Storming with Teams36:40 The Importance of Discipline in Dream Storming45:41 Interpersonal Applications of Dream Storming50:29 The Power of Divergent Thinking53:31 Recognizing Natural and Triggered States01:05:08 Understanding the Protector Mode01:05:50 Navigating Conversations with Awareness01:12:03 Applying the Framework in Personal and Professional LifeConnect with George: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Come As You Are Series - I Have Not Come To Call The RighteousLuke 5:30-32 “But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”The theme for the devotional is “Come As You Are.” I chose this because too many of us feel we aren't worthy to come to God as we are. We think we need to get it all together before we come to God. We believe we have to clean up our lives, and then we can come to God. I can see why we might think this, as that is what society tells us. That is what it looks like on Social media. It seems like everyone else has it all together, so we need to get it together before we're ready to ask God for anything. We can't attend mass or church service because our kids don't behave, or we don't have the right clothes, or because we make bad choices.I love a song called Truth Be Told by Matthew West. Let me read you some of the lyrics because I wish we all knew the truth.Lie number one, you're supposed to have it all togetherAnd when they ask how you're doingJust smile and tell them, "Never better."Lie number 2: everybody's life is perfect except yoursSo keep your messes and your woundsAnd your secrets safe with you behind closed doorsTruth be toldThe truth is rarely told, nowI say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine, oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine, but I'm not, I'm brokenAnd when it's out of control, I say it's under control, but it's not, and you know itI don't know why it's so hard to admit itWhen being honest is the only way to fix itThere's no failure, no fallThere's no sin you don't already knowSo let the truth be told How true is this song? We think that we need to keep it all together because everyone else is keeping it all together, but that's the thing, they aren't holding it together either. We are all just pretending. I love it when it says, There is no failure, no fall, there's no sin you don't already know. Why do we think we need to keep our mess from God when He already knows about all of it? There isn't anything we can keep from Him, so why are we so ashamed to admit it? The song goes on to say…There's a sign on the door that says, "Come as you are," but I doubt it'Cause if we lived like it was true, every Sunday morning pew would be crowdedBut didn't you say the church should look more like a hospitalA safe place for the sick, the sinner, the scarred, and the prodigalsLike me. Well, truth be told, the truth is rarely told This is where Matthew West reminds us what Jesus said in the verse above. Not what the world says, but what Jesus says. Come as you are. Imagine how full churches would be if everyone knew they could truly come as they were. If we all knew that God wants us, even when we don't have the right clothes or do the wrong thing. Even when we yelled at our kids or our spouse, even when we stayed out too late drinking, God wants us just as we are. No matter what it is, you can come to the Lord. The song ends with…Can I really stand here unashamed, Knowin' that your love for me won't change?Oh God, if that's really true, then let the truth be told This is the truth that I wish everyone knew. The truth is that God loves us completely and fully before we are even born, and that love never changes. It doesn't matter what we do or even what we don't do. He still loves us the same. We can do nothing to make Him love us more or less than he already does. When we see how the world sees us, we think God is the same. We think that we're not worthy of his love until we get it all together.However, in the verse above, Jesus tells us something different. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for us while we were still sinning. If you want to know how much God loves you, it says in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Hear that again: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.This is how God demonstrates his love for us. This one statement shows us that we don't have to be perfect to come to God. Jesus didn't wait for us to have our lives together before he died on the cross for us, so why should we wait until we figure things out to come to Him?The verse above says that those who are well have no need of a physician. Those who are righteous, those who are not sinning, those who are praying perfectly, and those who are getting it all right have no need for Jesus. Jesus died for us, for you, and me, and he did it strictly because he loved us. He did it because the Lord wanted us to come to him. The Lord didn't want anything to be in between us. When Adam and Eve sinned, there had to be a separation, and God hated that. He hated that we couldn't be with him.He hated that they brought this upon themselves and wanted to redeem them. God could have done that in any number of ways, and the way he chose to do it was to become human and to take all of our sins upon himself, and when he did that, when Jesus died on the cross, the veil between us and God was broken, and that means we don't have to be perfect to come to God. We don't have to get it right before we come to God. We can come to God just as we are, and God loves us just as we are.If we look through the scriptures, we will find God repeatedly telling us that we don't have to have it all together to come to Him. He is calling us to come to Him just as we are, in our brokenness and woundedness, and He can fix us and heal us. When we look at the people that Jesus was drawn to in the Bible, it wasn't the most religious people or the people who were doing everything right. It was the tax collectors and the sinners. If Jesus can use those he chose to use in the Bible to do amazing things, then we can come to God and lay our problems at His feet, and He will help us. All He wants is for us to invite Him into our mess. Will you invite God in today? Even in the mess?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each person listening to this today. Lord, we are sorry we don't come to you more often. We are sorry we let our shame and our guilt put up a wall between us. Lord, we invite you into our mess right now. We invite you to sit with us in the mess and help us clean up our mess. Lord, we want to be with you, and we want to come to you. Please help us. Show us how you think of us instead of how the world thinks of us. Lord, we ask you to take away our shame and our guilt. We ask you to remove anything that is getting in the way of us coming to you. We love you so much, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. If this podcast has been blessing your life, would you consider sharing it with someone today? I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow.

Okayyyy I went there today.Welcome to my first ever Friday Episode!Moving forward, Wednesday Episodes will be more business strategy and Friday will be identity activation and personal growth - especially in becoming the woman God called you to be.If you've been feeling like you're showing up online but wondering if it even matters... like you're posting and posting but still kinda battling that “what am I even building?” feeling... this one's for you.This episode is not some perfectly packaged TED Talk, it's me telling the truth about building a business that actually lasts  and how God has used visibility not to stroke my ego, but to shape my character.I'm talking about:what really shifted in me 2 years & 2 months ago when someone left my life publicly without a word (and I've never told that full story on air… until now)how I've been learning that sometimes God removes what you thought you needed to reveal what you're really made ofwhy I no longer need the loudest voice in the room. I want the most grounded oneand how we confuse content with calling  and what to do about itI also talked about how our kids aren't listening to what we say, they're watching who we are. That reel hit different today and it fit perfectly.This one's honest, emotional, and might make you feel a little exposed in the best way.But if you're building something with real impact, this is your reminder that legacy often looks quiet… until the harvest comes.And yes, WealthGen is still open this week, but this isn't a pitch. This episode is a mirror. For the woman who knows she's called to more, and is finally ready to stop performing and start becoming.Why building for legacy doesn't actually require applauseWhat happened the day God removed someone I never thought I'd loseThe real reason we get addicted to being seenWhy visibility isn't the goal, but alignment isHow to use attention without needing validationAnd how to walk in obedience when it costs you approvalAnd if you know WealthGen is your next step?DM me “WEALTH” on instagram (@randacarrabba) to get in before the doors close.Or watch the masterclass replay here: www.randacarrabba.com/wealthgen-masterclass/

In this episode of Ambitious, I am joined by Tyler, a self-defense instructor and personal protection specialist with Masada Tactical. Tyler shares her incredible journey of overcoming trauma and reclaiming inner power through Israeli combat training. We discuss the profound transformation that self-defense training can bring, especially for women considered 'too much' or 'aggressive'. Tyler talks about the importance of mental toughness, confidence, and self-trust, and how learning to be both 'soft and savage' can make you feel safe and empowered. We also explore the concept of true masculine energy and the need for strong men who can hold space for a woman's highest potential. This episode will change the way you think about power, safety, and self-trust as a woman.00:52 Introduction 01:35 Meet Tyler: Self-Defense Expert02:32 The Power of Self-Defense for Women04:33 Tyler's Personal Journey and Teaching Philosophy09:31 Understanding the Mental and Physical Aspects of Self-Defense20:50 Reclaiming Power After Trauma38:38 Practical Self-Defense Tips and Techniques50:32 Cultural Assumptions and Safety Awareness51:04 Exploring Masculine and Feminine Dynamics58:39 Training and Self-Defense Techniques01:01:12 The Psychological Impact of Self-Defense Training01:08:33 Encouraging Women to Embrace Their Strength01:22:21 Practical Advice for Starting Self-DefenseResources Mentioned: ​Free videos from Masada Tactical Masada Tactical InstagramConnect with Tyler: ​Instagram​Website To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.To connect with Kate on Instagram, click ⁠HERE⁠.

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the benefits of Buddhānussati, recollecting the Buddha. This meditation object can be particular helpful if we're finding ourselves overwhelmed by emotions. Reciting "Iti pi so..." or "Buddho" loudly, and totally focussing the mind on the Buddha, can cut through strong defilements or emotional turmoil, and bring our mind back to a more wholesome state. Ajahn also answers a question on ānāpānasati (mindfulness of the breath):What to do when the breath becomes so refined that I can't feel the breath anymore in my meditation?Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#buddha #meditation #dhammatalk #emotions #mentalcrisis #buddhanussati #recollectionofbuddha

In today's episode of Ambitious, we are diving into the hard truths of what it takes to truly succeed as an entrepreneur. It's not just about having the best ideas, but about executing faster than anyone else. Selling is crucial, as without it, you only have a hobby, not a business. Consistency in the slow, boring tasks is what moves the needle. We also explore the importance of adapting to market changes, the reality of scaling revealing inefficiencies, and how your mindset as a CEO can make or break your business. Accountability is key; often, we are the bottleneck in our own businesses.

 Hello there, and Welcome to another exciting episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!  I'm your host Dr. Dawn and this is YOUR place to get the secrets behind upleveling your career without sacrificing your sanity OR your work/life balance.  If you joined us LAST week you know we tackled the sound of your voice—and how it can either project confidence or quietly chip away at it. So, THIS week, we're going even deeper. Because even if your voice is strong, the words you choose could be undermining you. Words That Undermine—And What to Say Instead I'm sorry, but| Starts with apology even when not needed | Lead with your pointJust checking| Minimizes your intent | I'd like to follow upI may be wrong…” | Signals uncertainty | Here's what I'm thinkingYou know?| A conversational filler | Use a pause insteadActually| Comes off as defensive or surprised | Here's another way to look at itI'm not an expert in this | Self-dismissal | Lead with your credentials3 Strategies You Can Use Right Away1.  Capture & Reflect Record yourself in a meeting or presentation. Listen for softeners, apologies, or filler phrases. Awareness is the first step toward shift! 2.  Practice Rewriting Rewrite an email or message using powerful language. Replace “just,” “sorry,” or “maybe” with confident alternatives. The more you practice, the easier it becomes.3.  Pause with Purpose Notice when you want to say “um” or “you know.” Pause instead. Pauses project control, confidence, and clarity. Remember, ShopTalkers: your career, your choices, your voice—and yes, even your day—are in your control, so don't forget our motto and it's this:  “If you're not having a fantastic day, you have the power to make it one!” NEW HERE?

In this episode of Ambitious, we tackle a common struggle every entrepreneur faces: how to show up and perform even when motivation is lacking. We explore the inner negotiation that happens when you just don't want to do the tasks laid out by your ambitious self and how to handle the ensuing shame spiral. I share personal experiences and strategies to push through those tough days with micro-goals and perspective shifts. Additionally, we talk about the importance of understanding your values, recognizing the impact of your energy levels, and the significance of separating your mood from your mission. Whether it's the influence of hormonal cycles, external stress, or just an off day, this episode covers how to maintain progress and commitment toward your goals while also giving yourself grace. 00:00 Introduction04:57 Navigating Motivation and Discipline08:59 Balancing Emotions and Responsibilities17:47 Aligning Actions with Values29:19 Overcoming Procrastination and Misalignment40:04 Identifying the Root of Your Lack of Motivation42:35 Strategies for Low Motivation Days44:01 Creating Momentum with Micro Goals45:48 Shifting Your Physical and Mental State52:04 Commitment to Rest and Recovery56:00 Balancing Work and Personal Life01:02:27 The Importance of Self-CommitmentTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.
