We unpack the strategic thinking, the data, and even the unexpected tech issues that led to this major pivot in his business. I also explore the launch of his new AI Business Society membership and what it means both for him and the wider membership industry. If you're at a crossroads with your own membership, you'll find plenty of actionable insights and thought-provoking guidance in our conversation.In this episode:What were the main factors and turning points that led Michael Stelzner to sunset the Social Media Marketing Society after ten years?How did market changes and the rise of AI influence the strategic pivot towards launching the AI Business Society?What was the process and communication strategy for closing down an established membership, and how were existing members supported during the transition?What lessons has Michael learned from running multiple memberships, and how is he approaching the new landscape in the world of online communities and AI?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"that idea of pivoting, even just a small amount can be daunting. But some of the lessons and some of the things that you've done in terms of maintaining that long term vision, looking for those overlaps and not rushing it, not just cutting everything off and considering it as an entirely new business.""I'm militant about saying no to anything that's not in alignment to my mission because I can't do it all. And those who do it all end up failing.""We at Social Media Examiner believe very strongly to do fewer things well is better than doing lots of things poorly."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

In this deeply informative solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski guides listeners through a comprehensive exploration of mitochondrial function and its profound connection to aging and longevity. Kicking off with a brief reflection on recent guest episodes and a teaser about an upcoming podcast rebrand, Mike then dives into a newly released scientific article from Cell Communication and Signaling titled “Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Regulation of Aging and Aging-Related Diseases.”   Mike reads and unpacks dense but crucial sections from the paper, including:   The Structure and Function of MitochondriaHe outlines the intricacies of the electron transport chain, supercomplexes, and mitochondrial DNA, emphasizing their roles in energy production, oxidative stress, and aging. Key Cellular Processes Affected by MitochondriaTopics covered include metabolic regulation, calcium and ROS homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy, tying them all back to aging and degenerative diseases. Modulating Mitochondrial Function to Slow AgingMike highlights emerging research on mitochondrial nutrients (like CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, carnitine), lifestyle interventions (exercise, diet, intermittent fasting), and breakthrough therapies such as mitochondrial transfer and replacement therapies.     He also introduces BioLight's new supplement, BioBlue Fountain of Youth, emphasizing its inclusion of methylene blue or leucomethylene blue, urolithin A, adaptogenic mushrooms, shilajit, and PQQ—all aimed at mitochondrial optimization.   The episode wraps with a powerful message: movement is medicine. Exercise remains the most accessible and potent strategy to boost mitochondrial health naturally.

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I dive into the controversial world of scarcity marketing, especially as it relates to memberships.I unpack why the “closed door” model and pressure tactics aren't the magic bullet many gurus claim—and how they can actually do more harm than good to your membership business.Instead, I share a more sustainable approach focused on trust, value, and genuine urgency.If you're tired of being told you “must” use countdown timers and manufactured FOMO, this one's for you!In this episode:Do you really need scarcity tactics—like limited-time enrollment—to grow a successful membership?What are the risks and downsides of relying on pressure and artificial urgency to sell memberships?How can you create genuine urgency that leads to better, more engaged long-term members?What marketing strategies actually work best for building a thriving, sustainable membership business?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"The urgency to join your membership shouldn't come from some arbitrary deadline or some daft countdown timer. It should come from your product. The urgency should come from having a compelling product that people just have to have. From the fact that what you offer helps people solve a real problem.""But if your entire sales strategy hinges on act now or else, then you're not giving people time to actually evaluate, trust, and commit.""Quite often, marketing tactics that apply pressure, that manipulate your potential members with false scarcity or leaning too heavily on scarcity quite often will convert very well in the short term. You will see a big influx of members during your limited open period if you have a closed door membership."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

Last week to book a 1-1 reading with me for this season at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingIt's July 2025, and we are officially at the midpoint of the year. This is the time to pause, reflect, and realign with your deeper truth and long-term vision. In this episode, I go deep into the energy of the July transits—from Neptune and Saturn turning retrograde in Pisces, to the fiery Full Moon in Sagittarius, to the more grounded shift of Mars into Virgo at the end of the month.This is also a powerful time to get clarity on what's next for you. That's why I'm offering Mid-Year Clarity Readings again—something I only do once a year. Last year they sold out, so if you're feeling called to make a shift, get your chart read, or understand your timing more deeply, go to ⁠quietmindastrology.com/readings⁠ to book before this offer expires on Monday July 7th. We cover all 10 major transits this month, including:July 2: Calendar midpoint of the year—ideal for stillness, journaling, and reflection.July 5: Neptune retrograde begins in Uttara Bhadrapada—spiritual reflection, compassion, or escapism?July 10: Full Moon in Purva Ashadha, Sagittarius—nurturing joy, truth, and adventure.July 13: Saturn retrograde in Pisces—revisiting boundaries, managing fear, and reestablishing practices.July 16: Sun in Cancer—emotional leadership, nurturing, sensitivity, and boundaries.July 18: Mercury retrograde in Cancer—sentimental reflection, emotional conversations, and miscommunication.July 21: Moon exalted in Taurus—emotional nourishment, connection, and resistance to change.July 24: New Moon in Pushya—emotional intention setting, deep healing, and aligning with how you want to feel.July 26: Venus enters Gemini—playfulness, creativity, distraction, and vata management.July 28: Mars enters Virgo—taking grounded, practical action with disciplined focus.I also dive into how Mars and Ketu in Leo have created intense energy that's finally resolving by the end of the month.Key takeaways:— Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu are setting the themes of your life—check the archives for deep dives on each.— Neptune retrograde through the end of the year invites you to discern illusion from intuition.— Saturn retrograde reminds you to refine your emotional regulation, commitments, and boundaries.— Mercury retrograde in Cancer is great for reviewing old journals, healing conversations, and sentimental memories.— Venus in Gemini can bring joyful creativity—but also overwhelm. Focus your attention wisely.— Mars in Virgo is the real reset point—time to organize, prioritize and take action.5 Key Quotes from the Episode:“The sun standing still at the solstice reminds us to pause and realign. Take five minutes of stillness. That alone can be powerful.”“Neptune retrograde is less about escape and more about returning to spiritual clarity. What illusions are you ready to shed?”“You don't need to do all 15 things on your to-do list—just do the most important one, with full focus.”“The emotional scale is one of the most helpful tools I've found. Anger can actually be progress if you've been stuck in depression.”“What you really want isn't the thing—it's the feeling. The more you nurture that feeling now, the more you align with it.”–Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver's role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they're overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn't processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.”   “Mold and Lyme don't just infect—they distort your body's frequency. That's why they're so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode 01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion 02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights 03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking 04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues 05:34 – Red Light's Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits 06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology 08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites 10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions 13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health 15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices 18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market 21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing 24:21 – BioLight's Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products 27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health 31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections 36:50 – Light Therapy's Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health 39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function 43:40 – Gut Health's Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues 47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health 51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate's Impact 54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut 58:58 – Glyphosate's Effect on Copper and Joint Health 01:03:54 – Magnetism's Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health 01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism 01:10:12 – Magnetic Sleep Pads for Regeneration and Health 01:14:15 – Environmental Toxins: EMF and Glyphosate Challenges 01:17:20 – Mitochondrial Function as Key to Immune Health 01:20:02 – Compounding Benefits of Daily Health Practices 01:21:34 – Future Discussion: Lymphatic System and TCM - Where to learn more from and about Dr. Chris Motley:   DoctorMotley.com Instagram Ancient Health Podcast - Optimizing oral health may be the most efficient way to achieve systemic wellness...SAVE 20% this week only on BioLight Oral Care devices!   For the next week, get 20% off all the Illume, Guardian & Guardian+ oral devices!Code: MotleypodcastDiscount is valid through 7/2, midnight, PSTShop Oral Care by clicking here! - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendations: Water products: Water & Wellness Grounding products: Earthing.com EMF-mitigating products: Somavedic Blue light-blocking glasses: Ra Optics - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Website Instagram Facebook

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of legacy pricing for membership businesses—a practice I've long advocated, but one that can pose major challenges as your membership grows and evolves. I discuss the benefits and pitfalls of letting members lock in their original pricing, explore when legacy pricing stops serving your business, and outline strategies for dealing with long-term members who are paying far less than new signups. If your membership has gone through significant changes over the years, this episode will help you navigate the often-tricky conversation around updating your pricing structure while staying fair to your most loyal members.In this episode:What is legacy pricing, and why has it traditionally been seen as a best practice for member retention and conversions?When does legacy pricing begin to work against you and your membership business, rather than for you?How can you fairly and effectively address the issue of long-term members paying outdated rates, especially when your offering has fundamentally changed?What are the practical options and communication strategies for transitioning legacy members to new pricing, and how can you do this while maintaining trust and goodwill?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"The fact that I would lose out on that legacy pricing, the fact that if I left and then came back in the future would mean I'd be paying a lot more. That can be enough of an incentive for me to not cancel, for me to leave my membership active for a month or two, even if I'm real busy, in order to hold on to that really advantageous, really attractive legacy pricing.""So instead of going from $20 a month to $80 a month, you maybe go $20 to $50 a month, and they're locked in at that rate. So you acknowledge their loyalty by giving them still a significant discount, but you also acknowledge the fact that the product has changed, and you're taking care of them essentially by saying, you know, what you're paying for now, this is a total different product.""You can take the original offer as a basic tier whereby what people get at that level more closely resembles what was originally offered at the time those members signed up."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

It's a tool."Discover how your story, your time, and your faith can shape someone else's future. Mentoring is one of the most lasting legacies you can leave.

Are you struggling to create the perfect offer for corporate clients before you even start selling? In today's episode I'm sharing the 5 important things to remember when creating an offer to sell to corporate clients so that you don't waste your time perfecting your offers, creating fancy sales pages, or posting endlessly on social media.  The real key to landing corporate deals is focusing on lead generation and your sales call skills. Corporates buy transformation—not the prettiest PDF or the catchiest program name. Take action, have real conversations, and tailor your solutions to what companies actually want.  Here's some of the things that really matter: Start your sales process FIRST—talk to real corporate decision makers, find out what they actually need, and build your offer with them.

So I need to wait and figure out what my offer is gonna be before I can start my sales process." 00:04:3600:04:51 The Importance of Targeted Lead Generation in B2B Sales: "But what happens if we don't start a sales process, meaning if we don't target a particular industry, meaning if we don't do appropriate lead generation to generate qualified leads who actually are interested in our area of specialism and who hold the budget to pay us." 00:13:5200:14:14 Why Your Offer Isn't Selling "If you haven't gotten all of the results that you wanted in the first half of this year, it's really important to understand why. And if that is, you've been spending lots and lots of time on creating offers and then feeling like it's really hard to sell them and you don't have anyone to sell them to, this is your problem." 00:38:0900:38:27 The Real Reason Your Offer Wasn't accepted "A lot of the time, in fact, in over 90% of occasions, price isn't the reason that companies didn't go with your offer. A lot of the time, it is about the diagnostic skill you have on the sales call and whether you presented the solution that met the need and got the buyer required to actually go ahead with it." 00:40:3700:40:38   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join the waitlist for the Converting Corporates Event 2026! https://smartleaderssell.vipmembervault.com/cc2026waitlist Sign up to the Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-email-outreach-conversion-course/   If you want to track your sales and set targets, check out my sales tracking spreadsheet  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/sales-tracker-spreadsheet/   Watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process! https://www.loom.com/share/a2de63c2c7354a7a86335b79ef94497e?sid=60cdc100-9f2b-49b5-a5db-aee7de17596d   If you're looking to get the best support in selling your services to corporate organisations, not to mention email templates and proposal outlines so that you really can convert at much higher rates and sell your services more successfully then Join The C Suite ® now. https://sellingtocorporate.com/the-c-suite-self-study/   Take the Selling to Corporate ® offer quiz and find out what the best offer is that you could sell to corporate.  https://app.quizitri.com/render/9987a008-7a0c-452e-ba02-06f10318d66c   Sign up for the webinar on Five Simple Steps to Landing Corporate Clients. https://sellingtocorporate.com/webinar-registration/   Top 5 Business Development Questions: If you're looking to convert more business development calls into sales?

What are values really - and how do you know if you’re living in alignment with them? In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Emily Musgrove (aka Dr. Em from The Imperfects) to explore how we get stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, and living on autopilot - and how to reconnect with the things that matter most. Dr. Emily Musgrove is a clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and the Resident Psychologist on Australia’s top mental health podcast, The Imperfects. In this conversation, we delve into how to recognise when you're out of sync with your values, why it's challenging to break free from people-pleasing habits, and what it truly means to say no without guilt. Dr. Em shares: How to tell if you’re living out of alignment with your values Why “health” isn’t actually a value (and what to focus on instead) The 80th birthday party exercise: a tool for reflecting on what really matters The ACT Bullseye: a practical tool for assessing how you’re living Dr. Em’s “corridor meditation” (and why she does it in the hallway) The phrase that helps Dr. Em create distance from negative thoughts Why people-pleasing is so common - and how to break the pattern Key Quotes “Values are like heading west - you never get there. It’s an ongoing direction to return to.” “The question is: What is this yes for?” “I’m noticing I’m having the thought that I’m a failure. That tiny shift creates space.” Connect with Dr. Em on Instagram, LinkedIn and her website. Check out her new book Unstuck. My latest book The Health Habit is out now.

Organizations love to optimize—but often forget what, or who, they're optimizing for. When teams are built around internal structures rather than customer outcomes, even the best strategies become slow to adapt.Author and data analyst Neil Hoyne and Pini Yakuel explore how behavioral rigidity, not technical limitations, holds most companies back. Drawing from principles in Neil Hoyne's book, Converted, they argue for a shift toward systems that favor adaptability, exploration, and proximity to the customer. Because in a world shaped by AI, the real competitive edge is not just speed—it's staying meaningfully connected to the people you serve.Key TakeawaysWhen roles become identities, organizations lose flexibility. Over-specialization makes it harder for teams to respond to evolving customer needs.Behavioral defaults—not tech—often slow teams down. Loyalty to familiar workflows or team structures can block innovation, even when tools are available.AI works best when aligned with real customer strategy. It's not a shortcut or a strategy in itself—it's a multiplier for what actually matters.Customer-centricity requires outcome-driven teams. Structuring around internal functions, rather than external impact, leads to misaligned incentives.Small shifts in ownership create big changes in experience. Empowering teams to work across silos—even partially—brings them closer to the customer, and closer to results.Key Quotes[00:13:50] “Marketing teams don't just bake bread—they are bread. It's not just what they do; it's who they've become. So when the shift happens—when the customer wants cupcakes instead—they miss it entirely. Because they weren't watching the customer. They were defending the bread.” – Neil Hoyne[00:21:13] “If your strategy is ‘use AI better than the competition,' you don't have a strategy.” – Neil Hoyne[00:25:46] “Accelerate what already works. Tactics are multipliers, not miracles.” – Pini[00:46:47] “Positionless isn't binary. Can you let a team own 10% of something, start to finish?” – Pini Yakuel[00:51:39] “We've gone too far into specialization. It's time to bring back the craftsman.” – Neil HoyneAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingRead Converted by Neil HoyneCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I dive into one of the most common questions I get from soon-to-be membership site owners: how big does your audience actually need to be before launching your membership? I get real about the numbers, explain why your email list is so much more important than your social media following, and break down how engagement and quality matter far more than pure quantity. If you've ever wondered if you're “ready” to launch or what you should focus on before taking the leap, this episode is here to give you clarity.In this episode:What's the recommended size for your email list before it makes sense to launch a membership?Why is the quality and engagement level of your audience more important than just having a big subscriber list?Why shouldn't you rely on social media followers when measuring your potential audience?What specific steps can you take if you don't yet have a large, engaged email list and want to launch a membership in the future?Tune in to get practical, honest advice that will set you up for membership success!Key Quotes & Takeaways:"a list of 300 highly engaged, relevant, interested people beats a list of 3,000 who don't even remember who you are when you pop up in their inbox and they have no idea why they're on your list in the first place.""You can only create a solution in the form of a membership if you understand the problems that membership will solve.""Focus more on email subscribers than the vanity metrics of social media. Don't just play the numbers game. Make sure you're attracting the right kind of people and ignore all that nonsense gimmicky advice..."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

So much of how we spend our time is shaped by invisible rules we never agreed to. From how often you check email to how long you take to reply, these “time rules” run in the background - until you stop to question them. In part two of this conversation, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau joins me to talk about how to break free from these hidden rules and why living well beats chasing productivity hacks any day. Chris shares the question that helps him reset when he feels stuck, the “eighth day of the week” exercise that can change how you use your time, and his take on why the system or app you use doesn’t really matter. In this episode, Chris and I talk about: The “eighth day of the week” exercise for making time for what matters How to spot the hidden “time rules” running your life The 40-minute reflection rule that helps Chris stay on track Why Chris believes the greatest productivity hack is to love what you do How to decide what really matters—day by day, moment by moment Key Quotes: “I thought I was getting better at the wrong things.” “The greatest productivity hack is to love what you do.” “How valuable were my last 40 minutes?” “Did today matter?” Connect with Chris on Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn and his website, Listen to his podcast Side Hustle School, and check out his latest book Time Anxiety.

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I welcome back Robbie Kellman Baxter, author of "The Membership Economy," to explore how the world of memberships and subscriptions has transformed over the past decade. We dive into the shifts brought by the boom during COVID, the increasing demands for meaningful value, the impact of AI, and what the future holds for membership businesses. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned membership owner, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking strategy for thriving in an ever-changing environment.In this episode:What are the most significant shifts membership business owners need to understand in 2025 compared to previous years?How have automation and AI impacted membership models, and what balance should be struck between leveraging technology and maintaining a human touch?What can membership site owners do to stay relevant and valuable to their members in an increasingly crowded and competitive landscape?How can you future-proof your membership business for the next five to ten years in a world where subscription fatigue and global changes are a reality?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"a lot of people who launched memberships, maybe especially in that go go period from, let's call it, 2019 to 2022, suddenly got a rude awakening and realized, you know, I actually have to engage people once I bring them in. I have to have an offering, that justifies a forever transaction more scientific in the way that I run my business.""This is a time to take a step back, and say, what are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? What would we and this is, I think, the money question. What would we be doing differently if we were starting today?""And they say our existing members love us, but we're having trouble acquiring new members. And that is a signal that your offering is no longer competitive, no longer relevant. That should be a huge wake up call to you.""I think organizations that can continue to focus on aligning the member outcome, desired outcome with the way they package their value are the ones that are gonna do well."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

Power of Imagination PodcastHost: Mr 2020Date & Time: 31 May 2025, 10:02 AM (Melbourne, Australia)Four map pins to mark the importance of this moment.“What pisses me off? Just about everything. But it doesn't last long.”Reality check: we all have control issues, and denial just proves it.Example: you can find a story to be angry about anything—traffic, coffee temperature, cold feet—if you choose to.Key point: Anything can piss you off if you tell yourself the right story.State matters more than story. The state you live in determines what you hear and how you respond.Three magical states to master:Ownership – What if you truly owned your day?Accomplishment – What if you ended every day with a win that matters?Satisfiable – What if you could be satisfied and still enjoy more?Ownership: Most people don't believe they can own their day, so they don't even try.“JosephGoddardToTheMax.com” is your tool to own every moment.Accomplishment: Daily wins fuel confidence.You “kick ass” when you have clear wins each day.Satisfiable: Learning to be truly satisfied while still hungry for growth.“I'm satisfiable” means you can enjoy what you have and still want more.If you're not experiencing those three states, you end up chasing happiness—which always feels one step away.Clarity vs. Confusion:“Confusion always comes before a new level of clarity.”Educational turbulence is part of rising into the sunshine.“Have you ever let someone tell you how to do your job—when they've never done it?”Opinions are like… well, you know.Different people in different states will react differently to the same message.Imagine Ownership:Picture yourself owning every minute.Imagine Accomplishment:Feel the satisfaction of winning today.Imagine Being Satisfiable:Know you're content and still open to more.Top Secret Nuclear Arsenal: “Blessing Blaster” is how you stop chasing blessings and become the blessing.Neville Goddard's Insight:“When you imagine lovingly for another, your own cross is lifted.”Took me 25 years to fully understand why.Morning Routine:JosephGoddardToTheMax: Own your day, feel accomplished, be satisfiable.Be the Blessing:On your walk, imagine blessings for everyone you pass or anyone who pops into your mind.This practice sets the tone: you give blessings before you ever speak.After a one-on-one session, I felt energized.In that state, I went on my morning walk imagining blessings for my clients, my wife, the people at the pool.Result: Everyone I interacted with felt that positive energy—and it circled back to bless me.Recap: Master Ownership, Accomplishment, and Satisfiable to stop chasing happiness.Be the blessing first, and you'll stop seeking blessings.If this episode helped you, reach out—love to hear from you.For more goodies: scoot over to NevilleGoddardStore.com and see what you can add to your game.Key Quotes to Remember“Anything can piss me off if I tell myself the right story.”“Ownership, Accomplishment, Satisfiable—master these and you'll never chase happiness again.”“When you imagine lovingly for another, your own cross is lifted.”Next Steps for ListenersOwn Your Day: Write down one specific win you'll achieve today.Feel Accomplished: At day's end, identify that win and celebrate it.Be Satisfiable: Practice gratitude for what you have while staying open to more.Bless Someone: Before you speak, imagine a genuine blessing for at least one person.That's it. Keep it simple—start your morning with JosephGoddardToTheMax.com, imagine being the blessing, and watch how your life shifts. Have a great day.—Mr 2020

Ready to rethink your sales strategy? In this episode of Selling to Corporate, I sat down with Kirsty Smith, founder of Natural Rays, a well-being consultancy specialising in menstrual and menopausal health in the workplace to hear how she switched from exhausting social media marketing to impactful B2B sales.  Kirsty reveals how focusing on corporate clients transformed her business, boosted her confidence, and gave her more freedom—without the burnout of the Instagram algorithm.This episode is packed full of practical wisdom for anyone considering – or already navigating – the transition from selling to individuals to targeting organisations. Jess and Kirsty dig into the nuances of social media marketing, the realities of supporting women's health at work, why B2B sales can offer more stability and impact, and how finding the right sales process can revolutionise your business (and mindset).  If you want to make your expertise go further, have stronger boundaries, and actually enjoy selling, this conversation is packed with insights you don't want to miss.  Learn how organisations supporting menstrual and menopausal health see significant ROI—not only does it affect over half the workforce directly, but it also impacts colleagues and families. Kirsty highlights the importance of shifting conversations from personal discomfort to broader workplace support, positioning this work within diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Kirsty describes her transition from selling B2C to selling to B2B, identifying social media marketing as significantly exhausting compared to the clearer strategies and boundaries she's now able to set with B2B clients. She notes that B2B sales allow for more direct and open budget conversations, leading to greater confidence and more sustainable business practices. Kirsty shares how joining The C Suite ® provided her with a streamlined, metrics-driven sales process that replaced the unpredictable nature of B2C marketing. She also emphasizes the motivation and practical insights gained from being part of a supportive peer community, which helps her refine and optimize her business continuously.   In this episode I'm sharing; Supporting women's health at work is not just about inclusion – it's key to business ROI and wellbeing for all. Transitioning to B2B offers scale, higher impact, and the chance to build stronger business boundaries. Ditching algorithm-dependence for a proven sales process brings confidence, consistency, and (best of all) mental space. Community matters – being surrounded by others on the same journey keeps you inspired, grounded, and proactive. If you're on the fence about investing in your business development skills, consider the long-term impact and support you'll gain.   Key Quotes; The Ripple Effect of Struggles at Work: "It's not just the direct ROI in terms of the person that's experiencing the symptoms. It's like, who are the people around them that are also being impacted by that person experiencing the symptoms." 00:05:1200:05:24 Social Media Fatigue: "That's why I've wanted to kind of move away from marketing solely on social media because it doesn't make me feel good. When I show up there, it takes away from you know, it takes my brainpower away from other things, which is another reason why when I came into the c suite and I knew what I needed to do, I jumped into it and I followed it." 00:24:3200:25:32 Work and Wellbeing in the Modern Era: "We cannot look away from the fact that our employment, how we work, where we work, has an impact on our health." 00:10:3700:10:47 Setting Boundaries in Business: "Oh, we don't pay for that. And I've said, oh, I don't actually do that for free." 00:17:0300:17:08 The Power of Consistency in Business Development: "So what I loved about the process that you talk us through in The C Suite ® is that, you know, there are many different ways to do business development, but you pick the one that you want to and you follow it through.

In this kickoff episode of Decoded, Phillip Jackson sits down with Pini Yakuel to explore the concept of "positionless marketing" — a radical rethinking of how marketing teams operate in an AI-powered world. Drawing inspiration from the evolution of positionless basketball, Pini argues that marketing, like sports, is evolving toward roles defined by agility and capability, not titles or silos. The conversation weaves through leadership, startup culture, and how Optimove is enabling marketers to work faster, smarter, and more autonomously.Key TakeawaysPositionless marketing is a mindset — It's about autonomy, adaptability, and eliminating bottlenecks, not just rearranging the org chart.Modern teams thrive when roles are fluid — Inspired by positionless basketball, today's marketers succeed through cross-functionality and creative flexibility, not rigid specialization.Gen AI is the new creative exoskeleton — Like an Iron Man suit, AI tools enhance marketers' abilities, enabling faster, smarter, and more creative execution.Speed is the native language of startups — Startups operate positionlessly by necessity, while legacy orgs must dismantle silos and empower self-service to keep up.Positionless isn't chaos—it's craftsmanship — The best managers focus less on blocking and tackling, and more on elevating outcomes by distributing capability and unlocking human potential at scale.Key Quotes[00:12:25] “Let's look at the Renaissance man... the celebration of the wide gamut of human talent — that's what this could be.” – Pini[00:24:53] “It's not that departments will disappear. It's that the type of work they do will start to change.” – Pini[00:26:23] “Almost every person in our exec team started their job at Optimove by writing SQL.” – Pini[00:30:12] “A team should be small enough to be fed by two pizzas — and fully autonomous.” – Pini (on the Bezos principle)[00:34:07] “You're already positionless — that's why you get to focus on what actually matters: the work.” – Pini, on Phillip's agile team setupAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Summary In this insightful episode, Marc Schein interviews Snehal Antani, the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, about his entrepreneurial journey, the evolution of his company, and the future of cybersecurity. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai grew from a handful of engineers working in a basement to a cutting-edge firm revolutionizing autonomous penetration testing. He walks listeners through the different startup phases, emphasizing how critical it is to develop a repeatable sales process, retain customers, and build operational excellence at scale. Snehal discusses the complex challenge of preserving organizational culture during rapid growth, highlighting mistakes made during their first hyper-growth phase and the importance of investing in strong, well-indoctrinated management. He explains how a thoughtful approach to onboarding managers as cultural ambassadors ultimately led to a more stable, scalable team. He offers a candid perspective on venture funding—detailing both the pitfalls of dealing with inexperienced investors and the value of bringing on seasoned operators as board mentors. Snehal uses his experience with crises, including the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the loss of his father, to underline the importance of developing "muscle memory" within leadership teams. He compares this to special operations units, where preparation and planning allow for excellence under pressure. The episode shifts into technical terrain with a compelling explanation of autonomous penetration testing. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai developed a system capable of autonomously discovering vulnerabilities and compromising environments without human input—essentially transforming cyber warfare into an algorithmic domain. He compares pen testing to chess, where well-defined opening and closing moves are followed by dynamic midgames. Finally, Snehal forecasts a future in which cyberattacks will be AI-powered and nearly instantaneous. He warns that most current defensive tools are designed for human-centered responses, which will soon be obsolete. As evidence, he cites Horizon3.ai's autonomous agent compromising a bank in under five minutes—twice as fast as the previous year. He predicts the first deepseek-enabled cyberattack within 90 days, calling it a wake-up call for the industry. Key Points Startup Phases: Snehal outlines the four key startup phases: building value, repeatable sales, scaling operations, and achieving operational excellence. Culture During Hypergrowth: The key to scaling culture is hiring the right management and giving them time to assimilate before they scale their teams. Autonomous Pen Testing: Horizon3.ai's agent can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities without human involvement. Crisis Leadership: True leadership is tested during crises; muscle memory and planning are essential for executive teams. AI-Powered Cyber Threats: Snehal predicts that the next wave of cyberattacks will be powered by open-weight AI models capable of adaptive exploitation. Key Quotes "You want to build that muscle memory as a CEO as early as possible… so you can stack excellence upon excellence." "PowerPoint is cheap. YouTube videos are cheap. Let our results do the talking." "My primary competitor is mediocre consultants." "Every defensive tool in the market today is designed for humans at the center—and every one of them will be rendered obsolete." "The future of cyber warfare will be algorithms versus algorithms, and humans by exception." About Our Guest Snehal Antani is the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, a pioneering cybersecurity company that leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously conduct penetration testing. Before founding Horizon3, Snehal served as the first Chief Technology Officer for the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), where he was instrumental in leading initiatives in data analytics, cloud/edge computing,

In this powerful and heart-expanding conversation, I'm joined by my new friend, Debbie Lynn Grace—intuitive mentor, energy expert, and founder of Sensitive Living Magazine. We dive deep into what it truly means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), how to embrace this trait as a superpower, and how to access higher vibrational states to move through life with greater clarity, peace, and purpose.  Whether you've been told you're “too sensitive,” feel easily drained by your environment, or just sense that you're wired differently, this episode will help you see those traits not as liabilities—but as divine gifts.  We also explore how trauma, especially betrayal, impacts highly sensitive people more intensely, and what it looks like to rise from that pain into the most empowered version of yourself. 

You've tried the meditations. You've done the breathwork. You've read every self-help book you could find. So why do you still feel stuck?In this episode, Dr. David Snyder isn't holding back. He tackles real questions from real people about ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, healing, and personal growth—and offers some surprising, practical answers that don't involve years of therapy or expensive programs.This isn't about vague affirmations or spiritual fluff. Dr. David talks about:· Why your body is often running the show (and how to take back control)· How your breathing and posture might be the key to managing ADHD symptoms· What to do when traditional healing methods don't work· The wild (but real) ways energy spinning and image cycling can heal pain· How “lucky people” think and act differently—and how you can become one of themIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting the results you want… this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.Dr. David's advice is raw, unconventional, and deeply practical. He's not here to coddle you—he's here to wake you up to what's possible when you finally learn to reprogram the subconscious patterns running your life.Key Quotes:"Every single event, every single attribute or perceived deficiency in your mind and body can be looked at in a positive light or negative light, and the meaning you assign to it will determine the life directions you take.""Nothing in life is wasted. Every training you've ever gone to, every lesson you've ever had, even every bad thing that's ever happened to you, is a resource.""Your body's always listening. So it's really important to monitor not just your thoughts, but the words you speak, and how you speak them."Key Takeaways:Reclaim your focus through your body. If you struggle with ADHD or mental fog, don't start with your mind—start with your posture and breathing. Straighten your spine, breathe deeper, and get physically active. Your body leads; your mind follows.Stop treating symptoms. Ask better questions. Whether it's emotional pain, trauma, or energy blocks—ask yourself: “What's the root of this? What unresolved moment or belief is feeding this pattern?” Go beyond temporary fixes. Seek the source.Reframe resistance into choice. When facing opposition (in yourself or others), ask: “If I were to do this for my own reasons, what might they be?” This turns defiance into personal ownership.Episode Timeline:0:00:02 - Intro and announcer's introduction 0:00:26 - David Snyder begins discussing fighting, influence, and ADHD management • Talks about physical approaches to managing ADHD• Discusses posture, breathing, and reframing techniques0:05:04 - Begins addressing various audience questions • Discusses energy sensitivity• Talks about sleep apnea solutions• Explores chakra cleansing and energy healing techniques0:14:25 - Deeper discussion on spiritual concepts • Explains manifestation and connection to source• Discusses how quickly things manifest as a measure of spiritual connection0:24:26 - Provides advice on psychic abilities and Qigong • Recommends practices for developing intuition• Discusses healing modalities0:40:08 - Explores characteristics of lucky people • Explains how lucky people think and act• Discusses manifestation techniques0:48:25 - Talks about image cycling and manifestation • Provides guidance on how to use manifestation techniques• Discusses working with his associates and referrals0:56:45 - Closing remarks • Provides final thoughts and community supportTo learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

If your to-do list is full but your energy is gone, this episode is for you. In this special crossover episode from the This Is Work podcast, I sat down with Shelley Johnson to talk about energy, deep work, and why true productivity has more to do with cold water and Kindles than hustle and hacks. I also share what’s working (and what’s not) as I write my fifth book on burnout and depletion, including the habits I’ve doubled down on, and the ones I’ve thrown out. In this episode Shelley and I talk about: The counterintuitive productivity hack I use daily How I re-work book concepts while walking and talking to ChatGPT The “hall pass” rule that makes new habits actually stick Why minimum effort often leads to maximum energy Key Quotes: “So much advice out there is completely unattainable. I’m interested in what gives us energy that’s actually doable for real people.” “It’s not about doing more. It’s about being smart with the time and energy we do have.” “If we don’t track where our time is going, we’ll keep spending our energy on the wrong things.” “Just splashing cold water on your face can be enough to reset. You don’t need to jump into an ice bath.” Connect with Shelley via LinkedIn, or through Boldside’s Instagram and website.

We chat about his fast rise to the ATP top 70, what it really takes to make the jump from juniors to the pros, and how Futures helped build his resilience and confidence. Luca opens up about the pressure of expectations, how he's managing a ranking drop, and why balancing university studies with tennis keeps him grounded. There's loads of insight here into how belief, hard work, and enjoying the game really shape a career.

Today I'm sharing why updating your B2B sales process is crucial right now. The market is rapidly changing—referrals aren't enough anymore, and only a best-practice, proactive sales approach will help you land those high-value corporate clients. I'm talking about the importance of reviewing your metrics, getting honest about what you want from your business, and why taking action before the summer slowdown is essential. If you want sustainable, predictable results in 2025 and beyond, now's the time to make those smart changes. If you're a coach, consultant, trainer, or service provider selling to companies, you need to harness best practices—nothing “sleazy or gross”—and create a predictable, sustainable revenue stream, no matter what's happening in the consumer market. Tune in for honest advice, market insights, and your nudge to step things up! In this episode I'm sharing; The B2B market is changing—fast. Are you updating your sales process to match? Why midyear is a pivotal time to review your pipeline. Sales slowdowns are coming: If you don't close opportunities before mid-July, expect long delays due to summer decision-maker holidays. The B2B opportunity is bigger, but only for the prepared. Is your sales process designed for today's reality—or stuck in 2015? Why referrals are no longer sufficient in B2B. Cold -> Closed - specifically created for this market to fast-track your outreach, objections and closing before the summer slowdown. Best-practice, proactive sales processes are more important than ever, especially as referrals dry up.   Key Quotes; The Shifting Coaching Market: "And over the last few months, I've been talking quite openly on the podcast about how the business to consumer market has really shifted. And in some cases, the bottom is completely falling out of it." 00:03:1500:03:27 Entrepreneurial Focus Shifts in a Changing Market: “I very consciously moved my business to be focused on maximum revenue generation from corporate clients. And that's been really fun and really interesting.” 00:15:5300:15:54 Why Reviewing Your Numbers Feels Different This Year: "So for some people, you might be reviewing your numbers in June thinking, actually, this has been my best year to date. You know? Actually, this has been the year where I've made the most revenue, where I've set the best boundaries in my business, where I have, you know, worked on things that were actually meaningful to me, and impactful to organisations that I work with." 00:27:3500:28:44 Boosting B2B Sales This Season "If you want to spend the next six weeks building out your B2B sales for the next ninety days so that you are actually getting better outreach results, higher response rates, more calls being booked with you, more proposals going out of the door before the summer hits, then you need to go ahead and check out the Cold -> Closed link again. "00:44:3600:45:03 The Reality of Wanting High-Paying Clients Quote: "If you're somebody who's saying, yes. I absolutely want companies to pay me £5,000, 10 thousand pounds, 20 thousand pounds, 50 thousand pounds per engagement, but you are not willing to put in the time that it takes to do proactive outreach to book sales calls that are going to be worth tens of thousands of pounds, then you need to take a real look at whether you are saying you want something, but you're not indicating that you are willing to do the work or invest the time, energy, and money required to get that result." 00:27:3500:28:44   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Click here for Cold -> Closed.

You’re not lazy. You’re just out of capacity — and no amount of to-do lists can fix that. So what do you do when your brain is fried, your calendar is full, and you're still trying to show up for the people (and priorities) that matter most? Neuroscientist Ariel Garten has been there. As the co-founder of Muse, the brain-sensing headband used by over 500,000 people and backed by 200+ clinical studies, she’s learned how to work with her brain, not against it — using real-time feedback, five-minute resets, and a deeply human understanding of what it means to do less, better. In this episode, Ariel and I talk about: How she uses Muse to train her brain across focus, emotion regulation, and sleep The five-minute session she does daily to “work out” her prefrontal cortex What happens after meditation that makes the biggest difference Her go-to system for catching herself when she’s stressed, triggered, or procrastinating If you’ve been trying to push through the overwhelm, this conversation is a powerful reminder that focus, calm, and clarity aren’t things you force - they’re things you can train. Key Quotes: “What you have to do is recognise that it’s ok to have limitation and it's ok to only do so much in a day.” “Forcing yourself to do something that you're not good at, trains you to just do it better each and every time.” “My bad habits became my triggers for better habits — but only once I noticed them.” Connect with Ariel via LinkedIn, Instagram, and X (Twitter).
