Podcasts about journey to success

In honour of BENCHMARK FITNESS' 7th anniversary, I am re-sharing one of my favourite episodes to date, where Matt and I  share how we turned our dream of owning a gym into the thriving community that is Benchmark Fitness. We talk about the challenges we faced, like buying the gym just before the pandemic and navigating lockdowns, to how our passion for creating a space where people feel seen and supported kept us moving forward.We reflect on how having a clear vision helped us push through the toughest times. From rebranding the gym to creating a holistic wellness club with options like red light therapy, cold plunges, and member socials, every decision was made to better serve our community. We also share the sacrifices and strategic investments it took to turn our vision into reality, and why building genuine relationships was at the heart of it all.Tune in to hear more about:How having a clear vision can guide you through even the toughest challenges.The importance of investing in your community and creating a space where people feel truly connected.Why resilience and the ability to pivot are crucial for any business owner.The impact of reimagining what a gym could be by integrating wellness, recovery, and community events.How making sacrifices and strategic investments can accelerate growth.If you've got a dream that feels out of reach, I hope this inspires you to keep going!

You've heard the ClickFunnels story from Russell's side. This is the other side. Todd Dickerson is the co-founder who built ClickFunnels. He's been behind the scenes for years. This is one of the few times he's sat down to tell his story directly. In this episode, Todd and his wife Ashley sit down together for the first time on ClickFunnels Radio. They talk about what it actually took to build this company, from the early days of working for free, to the moment the database disappeared and Todd spent eight hours trying to bring it back while Russell was in London, to what it means to stay bootstrapped when private equity came knocking. Ashley also opens up about what it was like to support Todd through those early years, broke, with a young daughter at home, and a husband who believed so strongly in what he was building that she chose to believe in it too. Here is what they cover: The decision to work for equity instead of a salary, and what that actually looked like day to day The database crisis that took the platform down and what Todd learned from it Why they said no to outside investment and what drove that decision Ashley's perspective on being the spouse of an entrepreneur and what she'd tell anyone in that seat What both of them think is coming next Work in silence.

In this episode of Inspire + Move, I'm diving into one of the most important themes I'm believing more for in 2026: visibility. Whether you're a business owner, a coach, a creative, or someone with a message to share, this is your wake-up call to stop waiting for the invitation and start choosing to be seen.

He shares the highs and lows of raising $3.25 million to help build a company, the moral crossroads that pushed him to walk away from everything, and the painful but powerful realization that integrity must always lead the way.Through stories of corporate success, personal conflict, reinvention, and ultimately carving his own entrepreneurial path, Tony reveals what he's truly made of — and how purpose, character, and resilience shaped the empire he's built today.Website-tonydurso.com Social Media Links/Handles:www.facebook.com/tonysdursowww.facebook.com/dursotonyhttps://www.instagram.com/tonysdurso/www.linkedin.com/in/tonysdursowww.youtube.com/@TonyDUrso

This episode is a special one for me, and frankly, one I never thought I would be recording, because this marks my fifth anniversary of this podcast, Only Girl on the Jobsite, which just is surreal, shocking, overwhelming, and humbling, all mixed in together. To mark the occasion, I invited my 3 design school besties, my design school friends, the girls, who have walked this path alongside me in different ways; they have been my support system, and my community. And that community started way back when, in 1992, when I started at the New York School of Interior Design. And I met three of the most incredible, dynamic, magical people. Whether you're just starting out or years into your design career, this candid discussion will remind you that your journey is unique, your evolution is valuable, and community makes all the difference. Tune in for real insights, shared wisdom, and a celebration of how far we've all come.   Mentioned in this episode: In honor of celebrating our 5-year anniversary here on Only Girl On The Jobsite, if you rate and review this podcast on any platform you are listening to, screenshot your review and email it to me at hello@devignierdesign.com and I will send you a link to schedule a call with me.

Councillor Malik Sajjad of Gosnells, Western Australia, said that before the election, he had concerns that local voters might not accept him. Being in a new country, a new city, and coming from a different background, he was unsure whether people would trust him. However, Australia's multicultural society not only welcomed him but also gave him far more votes, support, and encouragement than expected—an encouragement that gave his efforts a whole new momentum. People chose him as their representative, transcending colour, race, and background. This success proves that in Australia, the true foundations are capability, intention, and a spirit of service. He further stated that this victory is not just an individual achievement, it is a community triumph. This trust, unity, and the essence of multicultural Australia serve as a shining example, showing that anyone, regardless of their background, can move forward and make new history through hard work. - مغربی آسٹریلیا کی گوسنیلز کونسل کے نومنتخب کونسلر ملک سجاد کہتے ہیں کہ انہیں الیکشن سے پہلے خدشہ تھاکہ شاید مقامی ووٹر انہیں قبول نہ کریں مگر آسٹریلیا کی ملٹی کلچرل سوسائٹی نے نہ صرف انہیں جگہ دی بلکہ توقع سے کہیں زیادہ ووٹ، حمایت اور حوصلہ بھی دیا۔ مزید جانئے اس پوڈ کاسٹ میں۔

Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen helder door het open raam in de kleine, rommelige studentenkamer.En: The sun shone brightly through the open window in the small, cluttered student room.Nl: Stapels boeken lagen verspreid over de vloer, naast laptops die nog op stand-by stonden.En: Piles of books were scattered across the floor, next to laptops that were still on standby.Nl: In deze chaos zat Lotte met haar hoofd in haar handen, omringd door aanwijzingen dat het zomerseizoen in volle gang was.En: In this chaos, Lotte sat with her head in her hands, surrounded by indications that the summer season was in full swing.Nl: De geluiden van lachende studenten buiten deden haar denken aan alle dingen die ze miste terwijl ze zich voorbereidde op haar belangrijke eindexamens.En: The sounds of laughing students outside reminded her of all the things she was missing while she prepared for her important final exams.Nl: Lotte was altijd al een harde werker geweest, maar nu voelde alles overweldigender dan ooit.En: Lotte had always been a hard worker, but now everything felt more overwhelming than ever.Nl: Ze had een beurs nodig voor het volgende semester, en zonder de beste cijfers zou dat een droom blijven.En: She needed a scholarship for the next semester, and without the best grades, that would remain a dream.Nl: Angst en twijfel maakten hun thuis in haar gedachten, waardoor ze zich nauwelijks kon concentreren.En: Fear and doubt made their home in her mind, making it difficult for her to concentrate.Nl: Elke keer dat Bram en Maarten, haar kamergenoten, met hun laptops begonnen of in lachen uitbarstten om een video, voelde ze haar hoofd zwaarder worden.En: Every time Bram and Maarten, her roommates, started up their laptops or burst out laughing at a video, she felt her head become heavier.Nl: De tijd begon te dringen.En: Time began to run short.Nl: En dus besloot ze dat er iets moest veranderen.En: And so she decided that something needed to change.Nl: "Bram, Maarten," begon ze nerveus toen ze die avond samen in de keuken zaten, "ik heb echt een stille plek nodig om te studeren."En: "Bram, Maarten," she began nervously when they sat together in the kitchen that evening, "I really need a quiet place to study."Nl: Haar woorden klonken zacht, maar ze waren gevuld met dringendheid.En: Her words sounded soft, but they were filled with urgency.Nl: Ze vertelde hen hoe ze het gevoel had dat ze verdronk in haar eigen zorgen, niet in staat om helder te denken.En: She told them how she felt as if she was drowning in her own worries, unable to think clearly.Nl: Om haar heen zaten haar vrienden stil, luierend op hun stoelen.En: Around her, her friends sat quietly, lounging in their chairs.Nl: Voor een moment was de enige geluid het zachte gezoem van de koelkast.En: For a moment, the only sound was the low hum of the refrigerator.Nl: Bram knikte uiteindelijk en Maarten keek schuldbewust.En: Bram eventually nodded, and Maarten looked apologetic.Nl: "We wisten niet dat het zo erg was," gaf Bram toe.En: "We didn't know it was this bad," admitted Bram.Nl: "We kunnen je helpen," stelde Maarten voor, "maar misschien kun je ook hulp zoeken bij anderen?"En: "We can help you," suggested Maarten, "but maybe you could also seek help from others?"Nl: Met hun aanmoediging besloot Lotte haar universiteitsadviseur te bezoeken en deel te nemen aan een studiegroep.En: With their encouragement, Lotte decided to visit her university advisor and join a study group.Nl: Die avond veranderde de sfeer in de kamer.En: That evening, the atmosphere in the room changed.Nl: Bram en Maarten maakten hun laptops dicht en verschoof hun muziek naar oortjes.En: Bram and Maarten closed their laptops and switched their music to earphones.Nl: Ze hielpen zelfs de ruimte op te ruimen en zorgden ervoor dat de zomerse geluiden van buiten gedempt werden door het het raam op een kier te zetten.En: They even helped tidy the space and ensured that the summer sounds from outside were muted by opening the window slightly.Nl: Het gaf Lotte de rust en ruimte die ze nodig had.En: It gave Lotte the peace and space she needed.Nl: Maar, nog belangrijker, ze voelde zich niet langer alleen in haar strijd.En: But, more importantly, she no longer felt alone in her struggle.Nl: Toen de dag van de examens aanbrak, was Lotte nerveus, maar ze voelde ook een kalme zekerheid.En: When exam day arrived, Lotte was nervous, but she also felt a calm certainty.Nl: Met de nieuwe studietechnieken die ze had geleerd en de steun van haar vrienden, liep ze de examenruimte binnen met hoofd omhoog.En: With the new study techniques she had learned and the support of her friends, she walked into the exam room with her head held high.Nl: De wereld leken stiller, en haar gedachten helderder.En: The world seemed quieter, and her thoughts clearer.Nl: Na de examens, op een warme middag, zat ze samen met Bram en Maarten buiten op een bankje.En: After the exams, on a warm afternoon, she sat outside on a bench with Bram and Maarten.Nl: Zij lachten om iets dat Maarten had gezegd.En: They laughed at something Maarten had said.Nl: Met de zomerwind die zachtjes speelde door haar haar, voelde Lotte zich voor het eerst in lange tijd licht en vrij.En: With the summer wind gently playing through her hair, Lotte felt light and free for the first time in a long while.Nl: Ze had iets belangrijks geleerd: het is oké om hulp te vragen, en ze had de kracht om te slagen.En: She had learned something important: it's okay to ask for help, and she had the strength to succeed.Nl: Haar gebrek aan vertrouwen maakte plaats voor nieuwe, stabiele zekerheid, en de vriendschap met haar kamergenoten was sterker dan ooit tevoren.En: Her lack of confidence gave way to newfound, stable assurance, and the friendship with her roommates was stronger than ever before.Nl: En zo ging de zomer door, met Lotte die niet alleen een beurs maar ook een vernieuwd zelfvertrouwen en diepere banden met haar vrienden had gewonnen.En: And so the summer continued, with Lotte gaining not only a scholarship but also renewed self-confidence and deeper bonds with her friends.Nl: Hun kleine, rommelige kamer was niet alleen een plek om te studeren geworden, maar een plek van verbondenheid en steun.En: Their small, cluttered room had become not just a place to study but a place of connection and support.
