Most coaching business models do not stop working because the market changes. They stop working because the identity that built them has expired. If your business feels heavier than it used to, if growth requires more effort than it should, or if you feel a quiet but persistent pull to pivot without clarity on what comes next, this episode will land deeply. In episode 472 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I explore the invisible identity factors that are currently defining your level of success. I unpack why your business model is often a mirror of who you were when you built it, how your business identity becomes an unconscious decision filter, and why many leaders stall not because they are doing something wrong, but because they have outgrown the identity they are still operating from. I talk about the business identity model trap, the subtle ways success becomes a frequency prison, and the signs you have evolved beyond the structure you are in. I also share personal examples from my own journey, including how releasing an outdated identity created space for a much more expansive version of my work and leadership. If you are feeling constrained by a business that technically works, pulled toward deeper leadership, or called to lead rather than participate, this episode will help you name what is actually happening and what your next level is asking of you.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why business models usually stall because the identity that built them has expired, not because the market failed. [03:11] How your business model becomes a mirror of who you believed yourself to be when you created it. [06:45] Why your identity can turn into a frequency prison that quietly limits growth, visibility, and expansion. [08:21] How over identifying with a role or model rewires your nervous system and locks in what you believe is possible. [11:19] The business identity shift that unlocked my ability to scale when I stopped seeing myself only as a coach. [12:59] How operating through the "online business" lens subtly restricted decisions and expansion. [15:09] The clearest signs you have outgrown your identity, including resentment, constraint, and forced growth. [18:51] Why visibility feels draining when you do not want to grow more of what you currently have. [22:02] The moment identity shifts from participation to leadership and the call to ignite something bigger. [23:30] Why identity mapping is the bridge between who you have been and who your next level requires you to be.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  FREE GUIDE & SCORECARD: Feel like the best-kept secret?

In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Green, founder of the Female Entrepreneur Association, to unpack what really goes into a successful launch in today's online business landscape. We take an honest look at her recent launches, including what worked, what didn't, and the lessons she's learned by launching again and again in a fast-moving space.We talk about the role of ads in boosting visibility and growth, why introducing paid elements earlier can strengthen a launch, and how maintaining your energy across multi-session experiences is just as important as your strategy behind the scenes. Carrie also shares how she uses urgency and scarcity without pressure, while building systems that make each launch feel more effortless over time.We also explore why testing and adapting is essential for traction, and how Carrie leans into systems and AI to simplify content creation and delivery—especially when balancing live sessions, community engagement, and personal well-being.3 Key Takeaways:1. Launch strategies are living, breathing things — not one-and-done blueprintsCarrie reminded me that no two launches are the same, and what worked last time might need tweaking next time. Staying curious, testing ideas, and adapting your approach is where real evolution happens.2. Paid elements and strategic urgency matter earlyWhen I introduce paid elements earlier in a launch — instead of waiting until the very end — it can validate demand and build momentum. Combining that with thoughtful urgency and clear deadlines helps people make decisions without feeling pressured.3. Systems and energy management are launch superpowersGetting clear on repeatable systems — from content planning to AI-assisted drafting — doesn't just make launches easier, it protects your energy. And in launch land, saving your energy = staying present with your audience.LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODEConnect with Carrie Green on Website, Instagram, FacebookConnect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list

This isn't the usual New Year's episode about planning, vision boards, and big 2026 goals. Instead, Karen looks at - what happens when you actually need to do less – and how that can be the key to building a more robust perfume or creative business that doesn't burn you out. She talks honestly about overcommitting (including with AI‑fuelled planning), why she's simplifying her offers and pressing pause on some things and how she's re‑shaping her work around the life she is actually living. If you're tired of the constant hustle but still want your business to thrive, this episode is perfect.

KEY TAKEAWAYS ●      Be honest about how much work you can handle. ●      Your creative energy naturally rises and falls. Accept that, go with the flow, and stop beating yourself up about not getting absolutely everything done. ●     Our culture says, “new year, new you,” but winter is a season of rest and introspection, so it's okay if big goals don't feel realistic right now. It´s OK to set new goals in other months too. ●     Drop things that drain you without generating true benefits. Ask yourself do I have to do this now, or is it just another shiny object or something that is fun and distracts you from doing the more boring things? ●      Don´t try to run on empty - Make time to refuel. Hobbies, time with family and friends, travel, learning new skills, exercise and other things that light you up, all top up your creative energy. BEST MOMENTS “I am planning on actually doing less this year on purpose.” “Creativity is not something that you can just like squeeze out. You have to let it flow" “Really tap into you and how you work best – that is going to keep you in this for the long-term.” EPISODE LINKS: Bulgaria Perfume Workshop: https://www.roseoverdose.com/perfume-plants-of-bulgaria  IAO Awards: https://thegoldenpears.com/home In Person Classes: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes Previous New Year episodes - https://podcasts.apple.com/mt/podcast/reflections-for-growth-learning-from-2024-to-build/id1693602939?i=1000682798977 and https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/making-the-most-of-2024/id1693602939?i=1000640841400 VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/studio-classes https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/materials-mastery Getting Started Guide: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/podcast-getting-started-guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/artisan-perfumery-mastermind  Website: https://www.karengilbert.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher, and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

In Episode 304 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Ryan Crittenden, a strength-based coach, Army veteran, and founder of XL Coaching and Development, to kick off the new year with a powerful reframe on growth, leadership, and self-belief. Ryan breaks down why coaching is not about fixing what's wrong, but about drawing out what's already there, helping people understand and use their natural strengths instead of fighting against them. Through stories from his military service and his transition into leadership coaching, Ryan explains how belonging, clarity, and self-awareness are often the missing pieces for leaders who feel stuck, burned out, or out of control.This conversation is especially timely for anyone heading into a new year feeling pressure to reinvent themselves or overhaul their entire life or business. Kelly and Ryan explore how real growth starts with one small step, not massive overcorrection, and how understanding your strengths can unlock better decision-making, stronger leadership, healthier relationships, and more sustainable success. Whether you're a founder, sales leader, entrepreneur, or emerging professional, this episode offers a grounded, practical way to reset your mindset and build the year ahead around who you actually are, not who you think you're supposed to be.Key Takeaways:1. Coaching works best when it draws out what is already inside you instead of trying to fix you.2. Great leaders create belonging in simple moments and those moments can change everything for someone.3. When life feels out of control the first move is not a massive overhaul it is one small step toward clarity.4. You do not need someone to fix you you often need someone to listen so you can think clearly again.5. Strengths based development starts with what is right with you and turns that into repeatable performance.6. CliftonStrengths reveals natural talent patterns and your job is to build them into real strengths through awareness and action.7. Knowing who you are not is just as valuable as knowing what you are good at because it helps you partner build systems or delegate.8. Most people perform better when they feel part of creating the solution so keep asking better questions instead of forcing answers.9. Big goals can overwhelm you into doing nothing so shrink the focus to the next step and let momentum do the rest.10. When teams share a common language for strengths and energy they collaborate faster trust more and stop misreading each other.2026 Title Sponsor

In this episode, Adrienne breaks down the four pathways every business can use to fund growth: debt, equity, revenue power plays, and asset leverage. She explains why under-capitalization kills more businesses than bad ideas and shares the mindset and structure required to become “fundable.”Key Takeaways: You cannot scale without funding. Capital is strategy, not luck. Debt preserves ownership; equity accelerates growth. Revenue power plays can create cash-on-demand without outside capital. Fundable companies have clean financials, predictable revenue, capable owners, and clear systems. Capital flows to companies that look prepared, not desperate.

Gary Shapiro has spent decades at the center of the global consumer technology industry, leading the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and building CES into one of the most important stages for innovation, policy, and deal-making on the planet. In this first episode of 2026, Gary joins Charlie, Rony, and Ted to preview CES, unpack the explosion of AI across every category, and deliver unusually blunt takes on tariffs, China, manufacturing, and U.S. innovation policy. He explains how CES has evolved from a TV-and-gadgets show into a global platform where boards meet, standards are set, and policymakers, chip designers, robotics firms, and health-tech startups all collide.In the News: Before Gary joins, the hosts break down Nvidia's $20 billion “not-a-deal” with Singapore's Groq, the stake in Intel, and what that combo might signal about the edge of the GPU bubble and the shift toward inference compute, x86, and U.S. industrial policy. They also dig into Netflix's acquisition of Ready Player Me and what it suggests about a Netflix metaverse and location-based entertainment strategy, plus Starlink's rapid growth and an onslaught of “AI everything” products ahead of CES.Gary walks through new features at this year's show: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI and quantum, expanded tracks on manufacturing, wearables, women's health, and accessibility, plus an AI-powered show app already fielding thousands of questions (top query: where to pick up badges). He also talks candidly about his biggest concern—that fragmented state-level AI regulation (1,200+ state bills in 2025) will crush startups while big players shrug—and why he believes federal standards via NIST are the only realistic path. The discussion ranges from AI-driven healthcare and precision agriculture to robotics, demographics, labor culture, global supply chains, and what CES might look like in 2056.5 Key Takeaways from Gary:AI is now the spine of CES. CES 2026 centers on AI as infrastructure: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI + quantum, AI training tracks for strategy, implementation, agentic AI, and AI-driven marketing, and an AI-powered app helping attendees navigate the show.Fragmented state AI laws are an existential risk for startups. Over 1,200 state AI bills in 2025—including proposals to criminalize agentic AI counseling—could create a compliance maze only large incumbents can survive, which is why Gary argues for federal standards via NIST.Wearables are becoming systems, not gadgets. Oura rings, wrist devices, body sensors, and subdermal glucose monitors are starting to be designed as interoperable families of devices, with partnerships emerging to combine data into unified health services.Robotics is breaking out of the industrial niche. CES will showcase the largest robotics presence yet, moving beyond factory arms and drones to humanoids, logistics, social companions, and applied AI systems across sectors.Tariffs, alliances, and AI will reshape manufacturing. Gary is skeptical of “Fortress USA” strategies that try to onshore everything, pointing instead to allied reshoring (Latin America, Europe, Japan, South Korea) and the long-term role of AI-powered robotics in changing labor economics and global supply chains.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show,  Ross sits down with Wil Reynolds—founder of Seer Interactive and an icon in the world of search—to explore how to play the long game in marketing, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Will doesn't hold back as he shares tactical insights into how AI is reshaping content creation, search, and discovery. From real-world applications of tools like PhantomBuster and Claude Code to personal philosophies about content, agency building, and mindset, this episode is loaded with actionable wisdom and candid perspective. Wil also opens up about what he'd do if he had to start over from scratch, the dangers of imposter syndrome, and how to use AI to interview subject matter experts in a scalable way. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Respect the Audience's Attention - Share only what you genuinely believe will teach someone something. - Use a simple gut-check: “Would I want to see this in my feed?” - Don't post to post—post to educate and create real value. 2. “Real Stuff” Builds Trust - The most resonant content is often the painful, honest, behind-the-scenes truth. - Being raw and human builds long-term sentiment—and turns strangers into future clients. - The posts that work are raw: mistakes, broken processes, real lessons. 3. Distribution Beats “Perfect Content Process” - Over-engineered content processes don't matter if nobody distributes the output. - Optimize for conversation + sharing, then adapt it for search after you know it hits. 4. Use Data + AI to Run Experiments (and Get Leverage) - Tools like PhantomBuster + Claude/Claude Code can turn LinkedIn into a research + lead engine. - Track who engages (titles, industries), then use that insight for outreach and pipeline planning. - Blend paid + organic data to spot waste/opportunity (e.g., language intent mismatches, “people also ask” signals). - The goal isn't replacing people — it's pulling real knowledge out of them faster. 5. Future-Proofing Means Adaptability - The real edge is staying unsatisfied with the status quo and constantly testing new approaches. - Leaders should make it safe to “break things” while learning—innovation is messy by nature. - Wil's focus isn't predicting 10 years out—it's preparing people now for automation shifts through skills, reps, and experimentation.

Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, we are moving beyond just being "aware" of our routines and into aligned action. In this episode, Camellia discusses how to become the conscious architect of your year by leveraging the profound connection between your words and your reality. If your life follows your words, what are you telling your future today? We dive into three core declarations for January, designed to help you pivot away from autopilot and toward a year of intentional growth and vitality. Key Takeaways & Declarations 1. The "Identity" Affirmation The Focus: Moving from who you were to who you are becoming. The Word: "I am no longer operating on autopilot. In January, I am the intentional architect of my day, and my words create a path of clarity and purpose." 2. The "Bell Pepper" Affirmation The Focus: Patience and trusting the process when the "fruit" isn't visible yet. The Word: "I trust the seeds I am planting today. Even when I cannot see the fruit, I speak life into my goals and remain consistent in my pivots, knowing my harvest is certain." 3. The "Vitality" Affirmation The Focus: Reclaiming energy and presence (inspired by our 2025 Menopause & Health series). The Word: "I honor my body's transition and strength. I possess the mental clarity to make high-level decisions, and I fuel my 'second spring' with movement, rest, and positive declaration." This Month's "Action Pivot" Don't just listen—participate! Try these two methods to lock in your new narrative: The Voice Memo Method: Record yourself speaking these three affirmations. Play them back during your morning commute or while getting ready. Hearing your own voice declare these truths is a powerful form of self-programming. The Mirror Pivot: Choose the affirmation that challenges you most. Stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eye, and say it out loud. Break the autopilot cycle by witnessing your own resolve.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: January 2, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary The first Cindy's Version episode of 2026 kicks off with reflection, perspective, and a clear-eyed look at how fundamentally global trade has changed. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Right Where You Left Me, Cindy Allen explains why many trade professionals feel stuck between old rules and a completely new enforcement reality. While the holidays brought a brief pause in activity, the underlying shifts from 2025 are still very much in motion. From tariff threats that didn't materialize, to delayed Section 232 actions, to long-awaited automation updates from CBP, Cindy walks through what changed—and what didn't—over the past two weeks. More importantly, she explains why 2025 will be remembered as a pivotal year in trade history, on par with other transformational moments like containerization, air cargo, and automated clearance. This Week in Trade • Proposed 92% antidumping duties on Italian pasta were ultimately set far lower, avoiding combined duty rates exceeding 100% • Section 232 cases on upholstered furniture and kitchen cabinets were delayed for one year • Importers planning remodels may benefit from acting within the next year • The trade community continues to wait on Supreme Court decisions related to IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl cases • Attention now shifts to when the Court returns to session CBP & Regulatory Updates • CBP announced all duty refunds will be issued electronically beginning in February • Electronic refunds become mandatory in March • CBP clarified procedures for refunds owed to brokers or third parties using Form 4811 • Industry hopes this signals a move toward fully electronic payments, including: • Protests • Post-Summary Corrections • Other remittance processes COAC Updates • COAC will meet virtually on January 14 • Previous subcommittees and workgroups were dissolved last year • Industry is watching closely for: • A new COAC structure • New workgroups or subcommittees • Applications for new COAC members closed in December • Several current members are rolling off after reaching term limits • Appointments are expected later in the year, not at the January meeting Why “Right Where You Left Me” Fits This Moment Cindy explains that while trade professionals earned every bit of their experience in 2025, the rules of engagement have changed. Enforcement is heavier, actions are more industry-specific, and governments are using every tool available—sometimes in new and unexpected ways. Formal announcements are often replaced by rumors, social media posts, or informal signals, forcing the industry to operate in a constant state of readiness. At the same time, the government expects the trade community to adapt just as aggressively—leveraging automation, data, and new technologies to meet rising compliance expectations. What was once a rigid, compartmentalized system has become layered and complex, operating simultaneously at the country, industry, company, and even product level. The challenge now is not getting stuck in the way trade “used to be,” but learning how to move forward in a system that no longer looks the same. Key Takeaways • 2025 marked a fundamental shift in how trade policy is applied and enforced • Tariffs and trade remedies are increasingly industry-, company-, and product-specific • Automation and data will play a critical role in future compliance • Informal signals now often precede formal policy announcements • Trade professionals must evolve—or risk being left behind RESOURCES & MENTIONS • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • Trade Force Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

The world says Christmas is over. The Church says it has just begun.In this homily from Fr. Dom, we step into the Octave of Christmas and confront what this season actually demands of men. This is not a victory lap. This is formation. The Church keeps Christmas alive because families are under attack, fathers are distracted, and men are being pulled away from the center where God must reign.This episode places you back in front of the manger and refuses to let you look away. The Nativity is not decoration. It is a revelation. God in the flesh lies at the center of the Holy Family, and everything else takes its proper place around Him. That order matters. When God is not in the center, families fracture. When He is, grace flows.We reflect on the shepherds who dropped everything and ran to Bethlehem in haste. No hesitation. No excuses. Simple men with simple faith who abandoned worldly concerns to worship God. Their childlike faith stands in direct opposition to the pride, arrogance, and self-sufficiency that blinds so many men today.This episode also confronts hard realities. The massacre of the Holy Innocents exposes the hatred of evil for life itself. Satan targets children and families because that is where the future is formed. That is why the Church places the Holy Family front and center during the Octave of Christmas. This is spiritual warfare, and the family is the frontline.You will hear again the powerful story of a blind woman who truly saw Christ in the manger. Her faith exposes a painful truth: many who claim sight are blind, while those who trust see clearly. The manger reveals Christ born to die, the wood of the crib pointing directly to the wood of the Cross, and ultimately to the Eucharist, where Christ feeds His people.This episode challenges men directly. Fathers are called to be righteous like Saint Joseph. Husbands are called to love sacrificially. Families are called to pray together daily. No exceptions. No excuses. The domestic church rises or falls on whether men will lead with humility, obedience, and faith.The Holy Family is not meant to discourage you. It is meant to call you higher.Push play. Kneel before the manger. Then go build a family where God reigns at the center.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode“These little hands and feet will be pierced for our transgressions.”“They dropped everything and went in haste. That is a good example for us.”“Satan wants to destroy the family. That is his number one target.”Key Takeaway for MenPut God back at the center of your home today. Pray with your wife. Pray with your children. Lead your domestic church with simple, obedient faith. If a family does not pray together, it will not stand.

What if case acceptance didn't feel like "selling" at all?

Happy New Year! This special compilation episode of Demystifying Mental Toughness brings together powerful reflections from multiple experts across sport, performance, and personal development. Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly underpins sustainable performance: self-awareness, authenticity, focus, and self-trust. A recurring theme throughout the episode is the importance of the internal narrative. The conversations we have with ourselves shape confidence, behaviour, and decision-making under pressure. Listeners are encouraged to question unhelpful self-talk, recognise vulnerability as a strength, and understand that mental toughness is not about being "bulletproof", but about knowing yourself and responding wisely. The episode also explores the value of building a support network a "board of directors" made up of real or imagined mentors who guide thinking, perspective, and behaviour. Alongside this, the myth of multitasking is challenged, reinforcing the power of focus, presence, and committing fully to the one thing that matters most. Fear, mistakes, motivation, and setbacks are reframed not as barriers, but as essential ingredients for growth. Listeners are reminded that action often comes before motivation, progress is rarely linear, and joy and creativity are vital for long-term engagement in sport and life. This episode is a timely reminder that mental toughness is human, flexible, and deeply personal and that rediscovering enjoyment, trust, and purpose is just as important as striving for results. Key Takeaways You are the thinker, not the thought, self-talk can be shaped and trained Mental toughness exists on a spectrum; sensitivity is not weakness Authenticity matters more than approval or fitting in Build a "board of directors" to guide perspective and decision-making Multitasking is a myth, focus deeply on one thing at a time Fear can be used as fuel when recognised and harnessed Motivation is cyclical; action often comes before motivation Vulnerability and self-compassion support long-term performance Mistakes and setbacks are essential for learning and growth Joy, creativity, and presence reconnect performers with why they started Connect with David Charlton ·         Sign Up To The Mental Edge ·         LinkedIn   Relevant Podcast Episodes To Improve Your Mental Toughness as Relayed in Episode 301 Ep001: Doug Strycharczyk – The Importance of Mental Toughness Ep028: Peter Clough MBE – Why is Mental Toughness Important?

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like everyone needs you all the time? You're not actually stuck, you just need a way out. Alan Briggs shares 4 practical pathways to break free and lead with clarity in 2026. Happy New Year—and welcome to Episode 500! When we started this podcast, it was just a wild idea. 500 episodes later, we're more convinced than ever: leadership doesn't have to cost you everything. You can lead well and live well. To kick off 2026, Alan tackles something most leaders are feeling but few are naming: leadership claustrophobia—that squeezed, stuck sensation where everyone needs you all the time and there's no way out. Here's the truth: You feel stuck. But you're not actually stuck. Alan walks through the four feelings that keep leaders trapped—overwhelmed, myopic, exhausted, and behind—and gives you a clear, practical pathway out of each one. This isn't theory. It's the same framework Alan uses with the leaders he coaches every day. If you're heading into 2026 saying "everyone needs me all the time," this episode is your reset. What You'll Learn The 4 Leadership Traps + Their Pathways Out: → Overwhelmed? You're lacking creativity. The pathway out is space—build gaps into your calendar so your brain can think again. → Myopic (stuck in the weeds)? You're lacking perspective. The pathway out is vantage—schedule a Think Day and lift above your leadership. → Exhausted? You're lacking freshness. The pathway out is recovery—Sabbath and vacation aren't luxuries, they're necessities. → Behind? You're lacking urgency. The pathway out is constraints—small deadlines create the momentum big goals never will. Key Takeaways "You feel stuck, but you are not actually stuck. You have options. You can change things." The shift from victim to designer: stop reacting and start creating pathways out. When clarity goes up, overwhelm goes down. Think Days: a quarterly rhythm to get above your leadership and solve the big problems you keep kicking down the road. Sabbath and vacation are always important, never urgent—you won't feel like you need them until you should have had them three months ago. Constraints create urgency. Without deadlines, we procrastinate. Without sub-goals, we drift.

Amy Simmons is the founder of Amy's Ice Creams—a beloved Austin institution with 19 locations built over 41 years—not through franchising or rapid expansion, but through deep community roots, creative culture, and an unshakeable commitment to people first.  In this conversation, Amy shares how she grew the company without franchising, avoided national rollout, and even allowed each store to operate with its own personality. We get into the role theatrical customer service plays in the brand, how open-book management teaches financial literacy and strengthens decision-making, and why staying regional became a strategic advantage. We also talk about real estate, vertical integration, and how hyper-local partnerships helped turn Amy's into a fixture of Austin rather than just another ice cream shop.  If you're interested in the kind of business that grows deeper instead of wider, Amy's story offers a very different—and very successful—approach to scale.   Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 01:10 What Makes Amy's Ice Cream Different 02:54 Small Community Gifts That Drive Big Returns 04:01 Why 350 Rotating Flavors Actually Work 08:39 Prioritizing Customer Feedback Over Sales Data 11:32 The Secret Behind Amy's #1 Top-Selling Flavor 13:52 Managing Supply Chain Shortages Without Losing Quality 15:14 The One Flavor Austin Refused to Let Her Remove 16:05 Hiring With Creativity: The Paper Bag Application 19:14 How Amy Identifies the Right People for Her Culture 21:15 The Experience Matters More Than the Ice Cream 21:47 How Showmanship Became an Amy's Trademark 24:44 The System Behind Amy's Creative Culture 27:55 The Power of Open Financials in a Small Business 33:53 The ROI of Teaching Money Skills to Employees 36:27 Why Amy Refused to Franchise or Expand Globally 46:35 Growing Deeper, Not Wider: Amy's Approach to Expansion 52:59 How Your Business Can Increase Real Estate Value 57:22 The Moat That Protects Amy's From National Chains 58:43 Advice for Entrepreneurs Facing Imposter Syndrome 1:00:00 Amy's Take on Austin's Growing Pains     Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gU5eigqFtns      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

In this engaging conversation, Michael sits down with Colin MB Cooper to explore the intersection of human behavior, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Colin shares how his lifelong curiosity for technology began at age 13 when he disassembled his father's computer, sparking a passion that now informs his work blending neuroscience and AI. Together, they reflect on decades of rapid technological change and the unique skillset Colin brings to understanding it. Declining Workforce Competencies in Younger Generations Michael and Colin discuss an emerging concern: the decline in critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity among young professionals entering the workforce. Drawing on Michael's experience hiring over a thousand employees and Colin's global hiring experience, they highlight a growing gap between what schools teach and what businesses require. Both note that increased reliance on LLMs may be accelerating this divide, raising important questions about the future of work and education. Technology Dependence and the Erosion of Critical Thinking The conversation turns to society's increasing dependence on technology. Michael shares stories from his early career teaching new hires basic computer skills and even using games like Solitaire to enhance productivity. They discuss how global internet outages could disrupt daily life and why fostering critical thinking and curiosity is essential in today's uncertain environment. AI's Rapid Integration and Its Impact on the Workforce Colin outlines the challenges organizations face as AI outpaces human adaptation. In education, technology is moving faster than teachers can adjust, and in the corporate world, AI-first strategies are leading to hiring freezes and the automation of repetitive work. He emphasizes a human-centered AI model that increases capability rather than replacing people. Real examples from healthcare and customer service highlight how AI can elevate human performance. Colin encourages listeners to upskill using free AI courses from providers like Google and OpenAI. AI's Transformational Potential in Healthcare Michael explores one of the most promising AI applications: healthcare. Drawing from his primary care leadership background, he discusses how clinicians spend excessive time on documentation rather than patient care. Colin agrees that AI could revolutionize healthcare workflows, lightening administrative burdens and improving patient outcomes, though both acknowledge the importance of safeguarding security and privacy. Technology Behaviors: From Customer Service Hacks to Alexa in Schools Michael shares a practical tip about selecting different language options to reduce customer service wait times, then recalls a story of students misusing Alexa devices to order products without permission. It's a humorous yet telling example of how quickly technology becomes woven into daily life. Generational Differences in Adapting to Technology To close the episode, Michael and Colin reflect on how older generations developed strong problem-solving skills due to limited access to support in their early tech experiences, while younger generations depend more heavily on constant connectivity. They discuss the vulnerability of this dependency, highlighted by the recent Cloudflare outage. Colin emphasizes that while technology will keep evolving, adaptability and resilience will determine how well society keeps pace. Colin invites listeners to explore more of his work on his website and continue the conversation on the future of human capability in an AI-driven world. https://colinmbcooper.com/ Welcome to this episode, where we sit down with Colin Cooper—a globally recognized high-performance business expert, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist with over two decades of experience working with clients across 38 countries and hundreds of industries.

Resilience is not just a buzzword; it is a life-changing practice rooted in the power of human connection. In 2015, the documentary Paper Tigers changed the conversation about education and childhood trauma forever, and today, those lessons are more vital than ever.

Christmas is not soft. It is not sentimental. It is a declaration of war.In this homily from Fr. Dom, he confronts the manger and exposes what most men have been taught to ignore. The Incarnation is not a cozy scene meant for nostalgia. It is God entering enemy territory. It is Christ coming to do battle for your soul.Too many men walk past the manger without stopping. We have seen it too many times. We have grown numb. But the Church places the manger front and center for a reason. If you truly see it, it should cut you to the heart and force a response.In this episode, Fr. Dom shares a true story from his first Christmas as a priest. A blind woman approaches the manger, searching not with her eyes, but with her hands. When she finds the Infant Jesus, she understands what many men miss entirely: those tiny hands and feet were born to be pierced. Born for sacrifice. Born for war.That moment exposes a hard truth. Faith is not passive. Seeing Christ demands action.We walk straight from the wood of the manger to the wood of the Cross, and then to the altar. The same Christ who lay in the hay now gives you His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. That reality changes everything, or it should.This episode forces a question that every Catholic man must answer honestly:Has Christmas actually changed you?If the Incarnation does not move you to conversion, you are missing the point. If the manger does not stir you to fight sin, lead your family, and reject the lies of the world, then you are standing still while darkness advances.Jesus did not come to make you comfortable. He came to claim you. He came to fill you with courage, peace, and resolve. And then He sends you back into the world carrying His light.Christmas is merry because Christ has already entered the fight and won. But you still have a role to play.This episode is not meant to be admired. It is meant to be lived.Push play. Let the manger break your heart. Then take Christ into battle.Referenced in This EpisodeThe Nativity and the mangerThe CrossThe EucharistThe Holy FamilyThe Holy Sacrifice of the MassPowerful Quotes from the Episode“Blessed are these little hands and feet that will be pierced for our transgressions.”“She was blind, but she could see. I could see, but I was the blind one.”“That infant in the manger may look weak, but that is a warrior.”Key Takeaway for MenStop treating Christmas like a memory and start treating it like a mission. Kneel before the manger or the Eucharist today and give Christ permission to change you. Then lead. Fight sin. Bring light into your home. If Christmas does not lead to conversion, it has been wasted.

Key Takeaways:90 days is long enough to get something done, but short enough that there's some urgency to it. The 90-day MOST stands for Mission, Objective, Strategy, and Tactics. It accounts for having an overall vision and creating simple strategies to implement each quarter. We need to have a clear vision so that we know what we're looking for. Before creating a plan, take time to create a vision board. Visualize what you want to create in your life and depict it in your vision board. Once you have a vision, determine an objective. Then, create three strategies that will serve to achieve that objective. Under each strategy, create three simple tactics. Keep it simple.  “90 days has been studied to be very effective. It's long enough to get something done. But it's short enough that you there's some urgency to it.” “We create the vision. And then from that vision, we create the plan. But we don't want to plan while creating the vision, because we wind up talking ourselves out of doing some bold things.” “We're keeping it very, very simple. The more complicated you make this, the less likely it's going to work for you. So you pick what would make this quarter be the win for you.” - Maryanne Dersch  Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode, I break down how to set yourself up for real health and fitness success in 2026. I explain why most New Year's goals fail, how to create realistic fitness and nutrition goals, and why structure, consistency, and accountability matter far more than willpower. You'll learn how to track progress properly, optimise your environment, and build habits that actually last beyond January. 

Jinky Panganiban serves as Professor of Practice at the University of Oregon's Sports Product Management Program, founder of 1969Blue Consulting, and founding member of Oregon Sports Angels. She is a former Vice President and General Manager at Nike with over 20 years of global executive experience. She led multibillion-dollar businesses across Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, and Europe. In this episode, Jinky reveals why "fitting in" kills leadership potential and how your cultural background becomes your superpower in global business. Jinky explains how the sports product industry has built intentional leadership development by translating a shared mission to fit local cultures instead of forcing one uniform way while maintaining a unified mission. She addresses the volatile state of global trade by emphasizing curiosity and critical thinking as essential skills for the next generation. Jinky argues that despite rising nationalism and tariff threats, consumers are already voting for a borderless world through their digital behavior and content consumption. In this episode, you'll discover how to leverage your cultural background as a superpower, build high-performing global teams, and lead with authenticity in an increasingly connected world.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Jinky Panganiban on Stop Fitting In https://bit.ly/TLP-492 Key Takeaways [04:09] Jinky describes how she started at Nike through a blind ad in Manila and was handpicked to help build Southeast Asia operations. [06:26] Jinky reveals how three white male mentors helped her realize her cultural background was her superpower. [09:47] Jinky explains that great leadership starts with being—knowing who you are and what you stand for—not just the doing of checking off deliverables and performance goals. [12:51] Jinky distinguishes influence from selling. [13:42] Jinky describes how SPM deliberately keeps students in the same project teams for 18 months because leadership is formed in the messy middle when deadlines are tight and not everybody agrees. [17:12] Jinky explains the collective industry commitment to raising next-generation leaders who will progress the culture. [20:32] Jinky demonstrates how global brands must translate their message locally. [25:17] Jinky shares how mentor Kate Delhagen gave her courage to leave corporate and explore angel investing. [28:58] Jinky describes her current advisory work with startup brands where she's both business advisor and biggest cheerleader, modeling what Kate did for her. [31:04] Jinky argues that despite borders and tariffs, the next generation of consumers already thinks globally through social media and digital platforms, celebrating differences rather than fearing them. [34:09] Jinky emphasizes that curiosity combined with critical thinking—vetting sources and asking why—is essential for navigating today's information-saturated world. [37:26] Jinky encourages everyone to celebrate where they've come from because there's only one of you, and you can't be more original than that—your background is your competitive advantage. [ ] And remember… "To be one, to be united, is a great thing, but to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater." – Bono Quotable Quotes "There's only one of you, so you can't be more original than that." "My cultural background and where I came from and all of my lived experience actually isn't something that I should shy away from or even be embarrassed about, but actually use it to my advantage and actually leverage it." "Great leadership starts with being. It's knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how you show up, especially when no one's watching." "We believe that leadership is formed in the messy middle. You know, when the deadlines are tight, the tempers are like rising and then not everybody's agreeing, but then you still have a deadline to hit." "Global doesn't mean uniform. The best teams share common purpose but express it in ways that feel very local." "Even if we put borders around things, the consumers will vote anyway to go beyond borders. Ideas, innovation, their talent, creativity, I don't think it carries a passport." "Human leadership never goes out of style." "Learn to lead yourself first. Build credibility, make sure that you practice empathy, and then lead through action and not titles." "If you don't know how to work in teams, you cannot work in the industry." "It's not so much exporting the culture, it's about translating it so that it works for everybody." "Cultural intelligence or cultural fluency is really critical because I've seen how that has become the one skill that could bridge global teams and communicate even beyond language." "Making sure that you find sources that are credible. Not just take things face value. Critical thinking is also something that's really important to ask the question why." "Culture, whether that's country culture or community culture, it's something to leverage, and it could always be a superpower for you." "We want to make sure that we leave this place better than we found it." Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by | www.darley.com Rafti Advisors.

In this episode of Living Off Rentals, host Kirby Atwell sits down with Stephen Arnaud, an engineer, W-2 employee, and father of three, who's intentionally building his path out of the 9-to-5 through short-term rentals. Stephen shares why, even though he enjoys his career, the demands of a W-2 job started to conflict with family life and long-term freedom. Like many high-performing professionals, he realized that traditional investing alone wasn't going to give him the flexibility he wanted anytime soon. That realization led him to short-term rentals. If you are still working a 9-to-5 but thinking seriously about building income outside of it and a pathway to financial independence, this episode offers a realistic roadmap. Listen and enjoy! Key Takeaways: [00:00] Introducing Stephen Arnaud and his background [02:21] Getting into the real estate through short-term rental [06:33] The moment he realized short-term rentals could replace earned income [09:45] How Stephen picked his market [11:59] Deciding on the properties that he purchased [13:43] Details on Stephen's first two STR properties and why he targeted larger homes [16:25] Financing with conventional loans as a W-2 investor [17:18] Using IRA funds strategically for down payments and furnishings [18:12] Stephen's perspective on retirement accounts vs. building income today [21:08] Building a reliable cleaning and support team [23:36] The biggest challenge on the flip side: Neighbors [25:30] Screening guests and avoiding party issues [28:15] Balancing a W-2 job with managing STRs during the early stages [31:38] How virtual assistants can outperform owner-operators with the right systems [34:24] Stephen's advice for people wanting to exit their 9-5 and get into short-term rentals [37:55] A real mistake with scheduling cleaners and how communication saved the situation [39:52] Outro Guest Links: Website: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1389202306719070032  Show Links: Living Off Rentals YouTube Channel – youtube.com/c/LivingOffRentals  Living Off Rentals YouTube Podcast Channel - youtube.com/c/LivingOffRentalsPodcast  Living Off Rentals Facebook Group – facebook.com/groups/livingoffrentals  Living Off Rentals Website – https://www.livingoffrentals.com/  Living Off Rentals Instagram – instagram.com/livingoffrentals  Living Off Rentals TikTok – tiktok.com/@livingoffrentals

Every January starts with fresh goals and big intentions, and then life hits, momentum fades, and by February most people are restarting again. In this New Year's Eve episode, Kelly breaks down what momentum actually is, why it matters, and how to build it in a way that lasts, not with hype or burnout, but with consistent weekly actions that compound over time. He reframes momentum as simple forward motion, the stacking of small and significant wins, and shows how consistency is what creates the “overnight success” people think is luck.Kelly then delivers a practical momentum playbook you can apply immediately: write 15 to 20 goals by hand, create an early win by finishing one task you have been avoiding, and make the Move the Needle list a weekly non negotiable. He challenges work life balance in favor of work life coherence and lays out the habits that keep momentum alive, consistency over intensity, repeatable weekly processes, fewer priorities, tracking small wins, launching early, protecting your calendar, and staying in motion while others pause, so when the year truly starts for everyone else, you are already moving.Key Takeaways: 1. Momentum is not motivation or luck, it is simple forward motion created by consistently completing the right tasks week after week. 2. Small wins matter more than big bursts of effort because progress compounds when you keep stacking completion over time. 3. Consistency will always outperform intensity because extreme effort is temporary but repeatable action builds lasting results. 4. Writing goals down by hand dramatically increases follow through and forces clarity on what actually matters. 5. Momentum accelerates when you create early wins by finishing something you have been putting off. 6. Weekly focus beats daily chaos when you commit to a Move the Needle list and prioritize only the highest impact actions. 7. Processes create momentum while random tasks drain it, because rhythm removes decision fatigue. 8. Reducing priorities increases results since momentum dies when everything feels urgent. 9. Tracking progress builds belief, and belief fuels momentum even when results are still forming. 10. The people who win long term keep moving when others pause, downshifting if needed but never fully stopping. 2026 Title Sponsor

Most people don’t fail at buying a business because they’re not smart enough.They fail because—without realizing it—they’re setting themselves up to lose before they even begin. In this solo episode of the BOB podcast, Jaryd Krause goes off-script and gets brutally honest about the real reasons people struggle to acquire online businesses, and why these same patterns show up in money, business, and life. This isn’t a tactical “how-to” episode.It’s a mindset reset. Jaryd breaks down the five biggest reasons people fail at buying a business, drawing from his own journey, his work with buyers around the world, and the patterns he sees repeatedly derail otherwise capable people. You’ll learn: Why you don’t need to know how to run or buy a business before acquiring one How “good” advice becomes dangerous when you treat general guidance as personal truth Why most people are mentally unprepared for the acquisition process—even when they have the money How impatience and unrealistic timelines quietly sabotage deals The uncomfortable truth about why wanting a business isn’t enough—and when change only happens out of necessity Jaryd also dives into cultural differences, ambition, pain as a driver of success, and why some people push through every obstacle while others stall indefinitely. This episode is raw, reflective, and unapologetically real.

What if the most important lesson of your year isn't what you accomplished, but who you became along the way? In this special year end "Best of 2025" mashup, I'm bringing together some of the most powerful conversations from the past year to help you reflect, reset, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and conviction. These moments are not just highlights. They are reminders of what actually moves the needle when it comes to faith, discipline, purpose, and becoming the best version of yourself. You'll hear from the late Judge Frank Caprio, whose wisdom and compassion remind us that character always matters more than circumstance, and from Marcus Stanley, who breaks down what it really takes to build wealth without losing your values or your soul. These conversations hit at the heart of leadership, responsibility, and what it means to win the right way. I also bring you insights from Kim Perell and Brendon Burchard, two people who understand momentum at the highest level. Kim shares the mindset shifts required to scale ideas into impact, while Brendon delivers timeless truths about consistency, energy, and showing up every day when motivation fades. This is about discipline over hype and alignment over shortcuts. You'll also hear powerful reflections from Sahil Bloom and Humble The Poet, who challenge the way we think about time, success, and inner peace. These conversations slow you down just enough to ask better questions about your life, your priorities, and who you are becoming when no one is watching. That awareness is often the missing piece between wanting more and actually living more. As we close out the year, I want this episode to serve as both a mirror and a compass. A mirror to reflect on what 2025 taught you, and a compass to help you move forward with intention. If you listen closely, you'll hear one common thread throughout every conversation. The people who win long term are the ones who decide who they are going to be before life decides for them. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Why character and compassion are non negotiables for lasting success How to build wealth and impact without compromising your values The disciplines that separate high performers from everyone else Why clarity about time and priorities changes everything How self awareness becomes the foundation for peace and fulfillment What it really means to finish a year stronger than you started it If you're ready to close this year with gratitude and step into the next one with purpose, this episode is for you. ⁠⁠

Special Guest Victoria Pelletier www.victoria-pelletier.com   Welcome back to another episode of Profits Unleashed, where I inspire coaches and consultants to use podcasting—both as guests and as hosts—to grow their business with authority, impact, and authenticity. In this episode, I'm joined by the one they call The Turnaround Queen and the CEO Whisperer, Victoria Pelletier. Victoria is a corporate executive, board director, keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, globally recognised DEI advocate, and the #1 bestselling author of The Power of Whole Human Leadership. With over 25 years of experience leading large-scale business transformations, this conversation is powerful, honest, and deeply insightful. Victoria shares her non-traditional journey into the corporate world—starting in banking while planning for law school, and quickly realising she thrived in leadership and complex environments. What stood out to me most is how clearly she articulated that transformation isn't just about fixing numbers—it's about leadership, accountability, and trust. We dive into what really holds businesses back, and time and time again, it comes down to people. Victoria doesn't shy away from the hard truths: loyalty can sometimes disguise fear of making difficult decisions, and leaders must ensure the right people are in the right roles for the current stage of the business. Culture, she reminds us, is a by-product of leadership behaviour—not a buzzword. We also explore the evolving role of AI, and I loved Victoria's grounded take. AI isn't about replacing humans—it's about elevating them. The future belongs to organisations that combine technology with human power skills like problem-solving, storytelling, and emotional intelligence. Victoria also shares how building a strong personal brand led to one of her biggest wins—being invited to open a TEDx event on resilience—proof that consistency, authenticity, and visibility truly compound over time. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, transformation, and telling the truth with integrity. Key Takeaways from This Episode I learned that real business transformation starts with leadership, not just strategy I was reminded that trust must come before truth, especially when delivering hard messages I now see AI as a tool for amplification, not replacement I believe authenticity and storytelling will matter more than ever in an AI-driven world I was inspired by how consistency in brand-building creates long-term opportunities

Episode Title: Breaking Free from Alcohol Dependency with Hamza Najam of BreatheSoberEpisode Description:In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Hamza Najam, founder and head coach of BreatheSober, as he shares his incredible journey of overcoming alcohol dependency—not through willpower alone, but through rewiring the nervous system with breathwork.Hamza opens up about how his relationship with alcohol started off manageable, then spiraled into nightly drinking, weight gain, self-loathing, and the painful cycle of trying and failing to quit. Like so many, he believed he could stop whenever he wanted… until he actually tried. That's when the real battle began.But everything changed when he discovered mindfulness and breathwork. Inspired by the science-based teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza, Hamza learned that the root of alcohol dependency isn't alcohol—it's the nervous system. Through breathwork, he was able to reset his system, rewire his subconscious mind, and finally find the peace and freedom he had been seeking.Key Takeaways from this Episode:Alcohol isn't the real problem—your nervous system is.You don't need more willpower—you need to rewire your brain.The third day of quitting alcohol is the hardest because it takes 72 hours for the body to metabolize it completely.Most people use alcohol to escape uncomfortable emotions—but healing begins when you're willing to feel them.Breathwork can give you the same “feel better” effects without the harm.You are capable of living a joyful, free, and authentic life—one breath at a time.Quote from Hamza:"Alcohol lowers your vibration and kills brain cells. Breathwork lifts your vibration and fills you with light."Connect with Hamza Najam: 

Are you doing "all the stuff" in your business—selling dozens of offers, managing endless promotions, and feeling like you're on a constant hamster wheel? It's time to stop doing a million different things and start leveraging one big thing. In this replay of the debut episode, Frank Kern shares a personal breakthrough from 2016 that transformed his business model. By digging through eight years of sales data, he discovered a "hidden jewel": a simple newsletter program he once considered a failure had actually generated nearly $3 million with minimal effort. Frank introduces the Best Payday framework, a system designed to help you identify the specific offer in your business that provides the highest net profit with the greatest personal fulfillment. Key Takeaways from This Episode: The "Hamster Wheel" Trap: Why many successful entrepreneurs feel unfulfilled despite making money, and how to break the cycle of constant product launches. Defining Your Best Payday: It isn't just about the biggest check; it's about finding the "deliverable" that hits the sweet spot of profit, ease, and personal energy. The Power of Continuity: How Frank turned a "failed" $297/month newsletter into a $522,000/month recurring revenue engine. The 6-Point Scoring System: Frank walks through the criteria to audit your own offers: Net Profit: Is the take-home pay worth the effort? Energizer Factor: Does doing the work charge your batteries or drain them? Ease of Delivery: How simple is it to fulfill the promise to the customer? Ease of Sale: Can it be sold without a high-pressure, complex pitch? Sustainability: Could you happily do this for the next 25 years? Replication/Automation: Can you bring in a team or systems to scale it?

Doors close January 1st at midnight (Pacific). Join now at nomorewasteddays.co/dryjanuary.   Episode Summary As we close out the year, this episode invites you to imagine a different version of yourself. Not a version created by doing more, pushing harder, or fixing yourself, but a version revealed when you remove the one thing that's been quietly draining your energy, confidence, and clarity. In this deeply personal episode, Sara shares: Why 2025 was one of her hardest years emotionally and mentally How anxiety resurfaced in a way that reminded her of her drinking days, and what she did instead of numbing out The story of her last New Year's Eve as a drinker, and how it set the stage for real change Why trying to “drink better” kept her stuck, and why removing alcohol closed the gap between who she was and who she wanted to be This episode introduces the idea of YOU 2.0, the version of yourself that emerges when the noise is gone. Alcohol doesn't create confidence, energy, or freedom. It blocks access to them. Key Takeaways from This Episode Reinvention does not require more habits. Sometimes the biggest upgrade comes from subtraction. Alcohol quietly erodes sleep, emotional regulation, self-trust, and momentum. The distance between your potential and your reality shrinks dramatically when alcohol is removed. You don't have to decide forever. Thirty days is enough to see what's possible. Dry January works because it gives you social permission, structure, and space to reflect. Sara also shares how her alcohol-free journey led to: Greater creativity and clarity Financial and career confidence The creation of No More Wasted Days A deeper connection to who she actually is, not who alcohol told her she was A Question to Sit With Who might you become if alcohol no longer dictated your evenings, your energy, or your emotions? What would feel possible in your life if you trusted yourself again? Join the Dry January Experience If you're curious about who YOU 2.0 might be, Dry January is a powerful and safe place to start.

A New Year, A New Financial BlueprintWhat if the new year wasn't about resolutions—but about real financial positioning?As we step into a new year, this episode challenges the idea that retirement is tied to age and introduces a smarter way to think about income, protection, and legacy. Financial strategist Shateka Husser joins the show to break down how early planning, disciplined structure, and education can help families build tax-efficient income and long-term security—starting now, not decades from now.This is a timely New Year conversation about resetting your mindset, reclaiming control of your finances, and committing to legacy building in the year ahead. If you've been relying solely on your 401k or Social Security, this conversation is a wake-up call to the "unconventional wisdom" used by the wealthy to build legacies that last.Key Takeaways[04:21] The Social Security Myth: Why relying on government systems is a risk and how to close the "60% income gap" that most W-2 employees face at retirement.[09:47] The Tax Code Trap: Understanding why traditional accounts (401k, 403b, IRA) are written for the employer, not the employee, and how to pivot to IRS Code 7702.[10:48] Be Your Own Bank: A deep dive into the Infinite Banking Concept and how permanent cash value policies allow you to "eat the cookies and still have them grow."[15:15] Living Benefits vs. Death Benefits: Why you need a policy you can use while you're alive to pay off debt and fund investments like real estate or business ventures.[20:31] The "HIT" List: The three major termites that destroy retirement: Healthcare, Inflation, and Taxes—and how to protect your portfolio against them.[28:16] Retirement is an Income, Not an Age: Why Shateka advises against quitting your job too early and how to use your 9-to-5 as a "sponsor" for your ultimate freedom.Legacy Moment TakeawaysLegacy starts with structure, not age.

What if the reason you are not living your dream has nothing to do with your ability and everything to do with a few invisible forces quietly working against you? In this mashup episode, I go deep on what I believe are the five biggest dream killers that stop people right before they break through. This is not a surface level conversation about motivation or habits. This is about the internal battles that quietly steal your future if you do not recognize them early. I sit down with Lewis Howes to unpack the real reasons talented, driven people stall out, lose momentum, or walk away from the life they were meant to live. We talk about discouragement and why it often shows up the moment you are closest to something meaningful. I explain how discouragement removes courage from your decision making and how awareness alone can strip it of its power. Lewis shares his own experiences with setbacks, self doubt, and learning to stay in belief even when results are not immediate. This is the kind of conversation that reminds you that feeling challenged does not mean you are off track. It often means you are exactly where you need to be. We also dive into doubt and delusion, two dream killers that work quietly but relentlessly. We break down how doubt is fueled by lies about your worth and ability, and how delusion distorts reality by making problems feel bigger or success feel farther away than it actually is. I share why most breakthroughs are closer than people think and how one decision, one conversation, or one moment of courage can change everything. Finally, we tackle what I believe is the most dangerous dream killer of all: delay. I explain why waiting for perfect conditions is one of the fastest ways to guarantee regret. Lewis and I talk about the cost of hesitation and why successful people move with urgency, even when they do not have every answer. If you have been telling yourself you will start someday, this episode is your wake up call. Dreams have an expiration date, and the time to act is now. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The real reason discouragement shows up right before breakthroughs How to identify and eliminate doubt before it kills your confidence Why delusion makes success feel farther away than it really is The hidden cost of delay and how waiting quietly destroys dreams Why awareness is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth How to move forward even when conditions are not perfect This episode is not just meant to inspire you. It is meant to confront you. You were not created to live small, wait forever, or doubt your worth. Recognize the dream killers, take your power back, and go all in on the life you were meant to live. ⁠⁠
