You're praying, working, helping others, checking the boxes—doing good things.But deep down… it still feels like it's never enough.Because the world (and sometimes even your own heart) keeps whispering, “Do more.”But what if rest isn't weakness? What if leisure is holy?In this episode, we talk about what Pope Leo XIV just reminded the world when he left Rome for his summer retreat house—a powerful and much-needed witness that even the Pope needs time to step back. We unpack the Catholic understanding of leisure, why it matters, and how rest is a form of trust in God, not laziness.This episode is your permission slip to slow down—and your challenge to see rest as worship.

What if the key to growing your business isn't working harder, but building smarter systems that do the heavy lifting for you? In this episode, Karl Staib reveals how proactive communication systems can save you hours each week while preventing costly problems before they spiral out of control. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or leading a team, these practical strategies will help you stop chasing information and start creating magnetic systems that your team actually wants to use. Key Highlights from the Show 1. The Power of Proactive Communication Systems Karl emphasizes that the #1 strategy for business growth is creating proactive communication rather than reactive follow-ups. Instead of constantly chasing down information from employees or contractors, establish systems where updates come to you automatically. This simple shift saves time, reduces stress, and creates consistency across your operations. 2. The Friday Morning Update System Implement a simple but powerful system: have team members send you updates every Friday morning by 10 AM covering what's working well, what's not working, and what they're doing to improve situations. The key is responding back consistently to close the feedback loop and show you value their input. 3. Connected Systems Drive Business Success All business systems should connect and communicate with each other. When sales, operations, and customer service work in silos, problems compound. Bill shares examples from nursing homes where connecting clinical, admissions, and financial systems dramatically improved overall performance by helping each department understand their impact on the whole. 4. Building "Magnetic" Systems People Want to Use The most effective systems are ones that employees are naturally drawn to use because they see clear value. Focus on creating systems that make people's jobs easier and help them succeed, rather than systems that feel like additional burdens. When people understand how their work connects to company success, they become more engaged. 5. The Appreciation Gap Solution Address the massive appreciation gap in business: Only 15% of employees feel appreciated, while 85% of leaders think they give enough appreciation. That's a huge gap! You can learn about my system to solve this issue and how you can apply it to your leadership style. You can get the Quick-start Ai Operations Guided and customized Chat GPT to help you integrate AI into your operations (as well as other systems guides). As always, if you have any questions or want to submit a guest for the podcast that you think would be amazing, just reach out to me on the Dig to Fly website, and I'll do my best to get them on.

Alex Greene speaks with Bonnie Pariser, a TRE provider and yoga therapist who runs Yoga Loca studio in Frenchtown, New Jersey. Bonnie shares how she transformed her yoga therapy practice by integrating TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) with traditional yoga approaches. Her unique journey from fashion design to embodiment work led her to discover that tremoring can dramatically improve outcomes for clients with chronic tension, anxiety, and trauma.Bonnie explains how tremoring prepares the nervous system for yoga practices, especially for clients who are too activated to benefit from conventional stretching or meditation. She uses the Ayurvedic dosha framework to understand different nervous system states: vata (anxiety/bracing), pitta (hypervigilance), and kapha (shutdown).

You've got the habit trackers. The gym plan. The prayer routine.You're “doing all the right things.”But underneath it all… you're exhausted.In this episode, we talk about how self-improvement can quietly turn into self-punishment—and why God is inviting you to live at His pace, not the world's pressure. If your spiritual life feels more like a checklist than a relationship, this one's for you.We explore how hustle culture creeps into our faith, how to recognize the difference between discipline and shame, and how to rediscover peace in God's presence, not your performance.

Across every chapter, Waverly models what it means to coach with both love and logic—bringing clear frameworks to messy human dreams.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Book Smarts to Business Savvy“Entrepreneurship is a process—whether you're 20 or 50.”At Booth, Waverly coached a wildly diverse mix: undergrads with unchecked imagination, MBAs with ideas but risk aversion, and execs who played it too safe. Her role? Adjusting the dials between wild dreams and grounded strategy—always pushing people to think just a little bigger (or a little sharper).Love for the Logical Skeptics“If you, the entrepreneur, don't believe you're building a $50M company, why should the investor?”Her job wasn't to sugarcoat—it was to stretch minds. She shares how she helped overly rational MBAs move from “safe” ideas to bold, fundable visions—and overly optimistic young founders get real about execution. Her coaching mantra? Meet them where they are—and nudge from there.The Muffin That Grew a Billion Dollars“This could be the Betty Crocker of the 21st century.”A standout case: Simple Mills founder Caitlin Smith. What began as a gluten-free side hustle turned into a billion-dollar brand—thanks in part to Waverly's nudge to imagine bigger. It's a masterclass in how one coach reframed a story and sparked a scale-worthy vision.Coaching in the Wild“I'm an English-to-English translator.”Post-Booth, Waverly now works with a broader crowd: from seasoned pros to small business owners without MBAs. Her key lesson? Listen deeply, strip away jargon, and tailor advice to meet people where they are—because real coaching starts with trust, not templates.Can AI Be Your Coach? Nope.“If marriage is ‘til death do us part, investment is ‘til exit do us part.”Waverly doesn't see AI as competition—yet. A pitch deck might be AI-generated, but building investor trust, interpreting nuance, and navigating founder doubt? That's strictly human territory. Coaching is about relationships, not just logic—and for that, love still wins._______________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Waverly Deutsch --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Most founders think they're "doing PLG” simply by launching a free trial. They add a signup form, make pricing transparent, and let people try the product for free. Then they wonder why it's not working. But you've only scratched the surface. In this episode, Wes reveals why most PLG attempts fail using a perfect analogy - the "We repair what your husband fixed” marketing campaign. Just like that leaky faucet that got worse after a DIY attempt, most founders unknowingly break their growth engine by doing surface-level PLG without building the foundation underneath.

In Part Two, Brian opens up about what it really cost him to tell the truth inside a political system built on avoidance.

In Part One, Brian walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped his path—from coming out as a college athlete to confronting power structures as a civil rights lawyer. He shares how being raised by military parents shaped his moral compass, how football taught him about leadership under pressure, and why he believes his queerness has made him a better, sharper advocate. This is the story of a public servant forged in fire—and not afraid to stay loud.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Day Job and the Gay Job“There was work I did to earn a living. And work I did to sleep at night.”Brian's legal path wasn't linear—it was moral. Disability law by day, LGBTQ+ advocacy by choice. The real career came when he fused both.Feminist Lawyer at Age 12“I told people I wanted to be a feminist lawyer… before I even knew what that fully meant.”His mother's defiance of gender roles shaped more than his politics. It gave him a framework for justice—before he ever came out.Raised by a Combat Nurse with a Crew Cut“She probably got accused of being a lesbian once a week in the military. It didn't harden her—it strengthened her.”Growing up with two military parents meant discipline and love. But it was his mother's quiet power that taught him to be an upstander, not a bystander.Coming Out—and Coming Into Power“My teammates waited until they knew I'd be safe to ask me if I was gay.”Brian's coming out wasn't loud—it was supported. That emotional safety net shaped how he now builds space for others.From Closet to Capitol“Eight months before I took office, I knew I was the only out person in the room. But I also knew I wasn't the only one.”Brian didn't just fight for LGBTQ+ rights—he stood up for racial justice, reproductive rights, and equality as a full strategy. Being gay got him elected. Being an ally kept him effective._______________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Brian Sims --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Part Two, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the myth that leadership is just for those with formal authority. He unpacks the idea of “leadership by choice,” reflects on the rise of remote work, and shares practical advice for building influence, trust, and connection—especially when you're not in the same room. With insights from decades of coaching and his own mistakes, Kevin makes a compelling case: the future of work belongs to people who choose to lead, wherever they are.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Leadership Isn't a Title“You don't need a position to lead. You just need to make the choice.”Why influence, not authority, defines real leadership.From Compliance to Commitment“Command and control can get people to do the work. But it won't make them care.”How great leaders inspire action—not just obedience.Remote Work Is Here to Stay“Hybrid is the reality. The leaders who adapt will win.”Why resisting change isn't a strategy—and what to do instead.Trust Can Travel“Distance doesn't have to mean disconnection.”Building rapport, connection, and shared purpose in remote teams.Be a Student of Your Own Leadership“Every leader needs a development plan—just like athletes have coaches.”Why leadership is a daily practice, not a fixed identity.____________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Kevin Eikenberry>>>Your $79 free gift is here for you to accept -- not a scam, it's a personal gift from Kevin to you. --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Part One, Kevin shares the personal and professional journey that shaped his leadership philosophy—from farm life to corporate training to becoming a global thought leader. He explains why leadership isn't about innate traits or job titles, but about everyday choices. Drawing from his early career, client work, and lessons from home, Kevin lays out why leading by default isn't enough—and how you can start leading by design.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From the Farm to the Front of the Room“I didn't grow up thinking I'd teach leadership. But I grew up watching it.”How growing up on a farm quietly planted the seeds of leadership.Default Mode Isn't Leadership“Too many people lead by accident. They react. They wing it. And it shows.”Why awareness and intention are the real foundations of influence.Leadership Is Learned, Not Born“No one gets promoted and magically becomes a leader.”The myth of the ‘natural leader'—and why it holds people back.Everyday Moments Matter Most“Leadership shows up in the way you write an email, run a meeting, or give feedback.”The seemingly small actions that build—or break—trust.The First Step Is a Mirror“If you want to lead others, you have to lead yourself first.”Why self-awareness is the starting point of every leadership journey.____________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Kevin Eikenberry --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Part Two, Adaira Landry goes beyond storytelling and gets strategic—explaining how to stop saying yes to everything, avoid burnout, and take back control of your time. She shares how the original title of her book almost became Chisel, why Micro Skills isn't meant to be read cover to cover, and what FOMO vs. JOMO really means in your career.This episode is a mindset shift for anyone who's overcommitted, overextended, or overdue for some clarity. Her message is simple but powerful: just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Book Almost Had Another Name“We wanted to call it Chisel. But it didn't land the way we hoped. Micro Skills captured it better—it's about precise, meaningful action.”Ambition Without Boundaries Isn't Sustainable“I used to say yes to everything. Then I realized—none of it was helping me grow upward. It was just clutter.”Say No to Say Yes“JOMO—the joy of missing out—is real. You don't need to chase every opportunity. You need to choose the right ones.”The Burnout Trap“If you're always working horizontally, you never move vertically. That's not growth. That's noise.”Fast Impact, Not Magic“You don't need a new degree or a big life change. You just need to start—small, now, and with purpose.”_____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Adaira Landry MD --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Before she became a physician, educator, and mentor to hundreds, Adaira Landry felt out of place in nearly every professional room she entered. In Part One, she opens up about entering college at 16, watching a man collapse on campus, and how that moment -- and a painful accident -- pulled her toward medicine. She reflects on growing up without access to mentors, and why that made her even more intentional about creating useful, inclusive career tools later on. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what shaped the voice behind Micro Skills.Key Highlights of Our Interview:When Life Said “Step In”“He collapsed right outside my class. And I just walked toward him. I didn't know what I was doing—but I knew I had to do something.”The moment on campus that first pulled her toward medicine.Burned and Alone“I remember laying on the floor thinking—this isn't how it's supposed to be. I couldn't even call for help.”A personal injury that left her with pain—and perspective.No One Called It Mentorship“We never used that word growing up. It wasn't until grad school that someone even explained what a mentor really does.”Why finding guidance felt so unfamiliar at first.The Confidence Gap“I had to teach myself to stop over-explaining—to just say the thing.”On growing into her voice in high-pressure environments.Why Micro Skills Mattered“I was tired of career advice that was abstract. I wanted to write something people could actually use Monday morning.”The motivation behind a book built for practicality, not prestige._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Adaira Landry MD --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Part Two, Resa gets tactical. She explains why Micro Skills begins with time, trust, and self-care—because none of the communication tricks matter if you're running on empty. She unpacks workplace blind spots that slow careers down, shares why she wrote this book for more than just doctors, and explains why clarity, not complexity, wins in high-stakes situations. Also: BCC etiquette, post-traumatic growth, and the exact moment she realized the workplace comes with an unwritten playbook—and how she set out to write it.This is about what really sustains you: self-respect, situational fluency, and knowing what's worth your time.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Workplace Doesn't Come with a Playbook“I didn't get the playbook—so I wrote one.”Why Micro Skills is the field guide she wishes she had years ago.Why the Book Starts with Time“Time can only be spent. You can't save it. You can't refund it.”What trauma bays taught her about urgency, and how it applies to every job.Letters of Recommendation and Hidden Rules“No one told me how the game worked. That one insight saved me years of inefficiency.”The invisible workplace norms that trip people up—and how to name them.Rest Is Strategy, Not a Luxury“If you're not well, nothing else works. We call that micro skill #1.”Why self-care opens the book—and isn't just about bubble baths.Intentional Email Etiquette“BCC isn't sneaky—it's smart. You're protecting privacy and reducing clutter.”How respect shows up in the smallest digital behaviors.Practicing Under Pressure“People think it's all adrenaline. But real calm comes from preparation.”What she teaches students who want to stay grounded in chaos._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Resa Lewiss MD --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In Part One, Dr. Resa Lewiss reflects on the experiences that led her to emergency medicine, from early memories of gender inequity at the dinner table to the interdisciplinary studies that shaped her worldview. She shares why she chose a career in high-pressure medicine, how a love of procedures led her to ultrasound, and why teaching globally changed how she practices and leads.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Medicine Was a Calling, Not a Family Trade“I didn't grow up around doctors. But from early on, medicine was in my bones.”Resa explains how her internal pull toward healthcare was stronger than any external influence.The First Fight for Fairness“My dad said, ‘Girls, clear the table.' I said, ‘What about the boys?'”She recalls early moments that sparked her refusal to accept unequal expectations.Finding Her Fit in Emergency Medicine“Once I rotated in emergency, I thought—this is it. This is where I belong.”Resa describes the moment she discovered the dynamic, procedure-driven specialty she'd been looking for.The Power of a Liberal Arts Education“My literature and sociology classes made me a better doctor. They taught me empathy.”She shares how studying beyond science helped her connect more deeply with patients.Teaching Around the World“When I went to India, Rwanda, Jordan—these were not lectures. These were collaborations.”Why global teaching in ultrasound expanded her understanding of medicine and leadership._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Resa Lewiss MD --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Episode Summary:Hey everyone! Today, I want to talk about something simple but powerful: every decision we make is either out of love or fear. That's it—there's no middle ground. I break down how this mindset can help you understand why you're making the choices you do and how to shift from scarcity to abundance, from fear to love, especially in business and life.Key Highlights:1. Decisions Come From Love or Fear:I explain how every decision we make boils down to these two emotions. Are you choosing something because you truly love it, or because you're trying to avoid pain or lack?2. The Power of Self-Awareness:I challenge you to ask yourself if your decisions come from childhood trauma, a need for acceptance, or from genuine passion and care.3. Love vs. Lack: We've forgotten what love really means—not just romantic love but love for ourselves and others. Making decisions from love means acting from a place of abundance, not scarcity.Final Thought:Next time you face a decision, big or small, ask yourself: Am I choosing this out of love or fear? That simple question can change everything.
Confess. Pray. Promise to change.Then… fall again. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same sins, this episode is for you. We dig into the real reason willpower alone doesn't work—and why God isn't just interested in fixing your behavior, but healing your heart at the root. You're not weak—you're wounded. And until we let God into those deeper places, we'll stay stuck in the same cycle of sin, shame, and self-reliance. This is a call to stop managing sin and start inviting Christ to transform it from the inside out.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! In this episode, Erin Bradley and I dig into what it really means to keep your light ignited as an entrepreneur. We talk about burnout, the feast-or-famine cycle, and how I learned the hard way that success isn't just about grinding harder—it's about aligning your passion with your purpose. We also get into why systems and scaling are key to maintaining momentum, and how boredom might be your signal to evolve or delegate. Plus, the infamous “7-year itch” and what it means for your business journey.Key Highlights:1. The Light Within: The struggle with burnout and limiting beliefs, and why keeping that internal spark alive is crucial to attracting opportunities instead of chasing them.2. Feast or Famine Rollercoaster:We talk about the common cycles in industries like mortgage and real estate, and why having systems in place helps you push through even when your motivation dips.3. Boredom as a Signal:Boredom isn't just about disliking your work — it can mean you're ready to delegate or pivot. I reflect on how important it is to keep evolving.4. The 7-Year Itch:We discuss how roughly every seven years, entrepreneurs face a crossroads where passion fades, and how recognizing this can help you make smarter decisions for your business and wellbeing.Final ThoughtBurnout is real, but so is the power to reignite your fire. Keep your light on, embrace change, and build a business and life that excite you every day.
