Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

Why You're Actually in the Math Business Frank breaks down a hard truth that most entrepreneurs avoid because it isn't "sexy": Business is a math game. Whether you are selling vitamins, courses, or cars, success comes down to understanding the multiplication of capital through the leverage of assets. Frank shares a cautionary tale of a marketing funnel that looked good on paper but failed the "math test," and explains why your focus should be on acquisition costs rather than just "pretty" sales letters. Key Takeaways 1. The "Sexy" vs. "Unsexy" Side of Business The Asset Leverage: Business is ultimately about multiplying capital by leveraging assets like ad copy, web pages, and sales systems. The Math Blind Spot: Entrepreneurs often obsess over the creative (sales letters, offers) but ignore the underlying math that determines if a business is even viable. 2. Case Study: The $500 Course Trap Frank discusses a client's plan to use direct mail to drive traffic to an online funnel: The Cost: Sending a 4-page sales letter first-class costs roughly $1.00 per piece. The Funnel Math: 1,000 letters → 500 readers → 250 website visits → 50 opt-ins. The Problem: At $20 per opt-in, the client needed a 4% conversion rate on a $500 product just to break even. Without a backend or higher price point, the business model was mathematically unsustainable. 3. The Only Equation That Matters To simplify your business, Frank recommends focusing on these core metrics: Cost Per Lead: What does it cost to get someone into your ecosystem? Cost Per Customer: How many leads does it take to get a sale? The Profit Gap: If your cost to acquire a customer is higher than your profit per customer, the business is broken—no matter how good the marketing is. 4. Beware of Small Sample Sizes Frank tells a story of a "scary month" for a radio advertiser: The Panic: The client thought the ads stopped working because sales dipped. The Reality: All top-of-funnel metrics (calls, appointments, show-up rates) remained consistent. The Lesson: With only 20 appointments a month, a small dip is statistically insignificant. Don't blow up a working system because of a "bad" month based on small numbers. Memorable Quotes "The money's not in the list. The money is in the math." "We are really in the multiplication of capital business... it's so unsexy it's hard to even say."

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.Episode Timeline: 0:02 – Mental Health and Thyroid1:25 – Hormones and Neurotransmitters2:55 – Anxiety and Hyperthyroidism4:05 – Depression and Low Thyroid5:15 – Autoimmunity and Inflammation6:45 – Neuroinflammation Explained8:10 – Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain9:36 – Stress, Trauma, and Thyroid12:40 – Nervous System Regulation14:50 – Gut Health and Mood17:30 – Nutrients and Mental Health18:47 – Medications and Mood Effects21:20 – Whole-Body Healing Approach23:40 – Key Takeaways and Next StepsIf you want to subscribe to my free Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter visithttps://savemythyroid.com/GravesNewsletter Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

At a certain stage of business growth, saying yes stops being a sign of expansion and starts becoming a liability. More opportunities do not always create more momentum. In fact, one of the hidden costs of growth is how easy it becomes to overcommit, fragment your focus, and dilute your leadership without realizing it. When opportunities look good on paper and appear to be the perfect growth step, making an aligned decision becomes more important than following a strategy. In episode 477 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I unpack why growth eventually requires a different decision-making lens. We explore the hidden cost of saying yes too often, how opportunity overload quietly erodes clarity and energy, and why more strategy is rarely the answer at higher levels of leadership. I share what discernment actually looks like in practice, how it differs from hesitation or fear, and why aligned decisions create more impact with less effort. If you are navigating more opportunities than ever but feeling less clear, less focused, or more stretched than you expected, this episode will help you understand what your next level is truly asking of you. Key Takeaways:  [00:00] Why more opportunity does not always equal better growth. [03:18] The hidden cost of saying yes too often and how it fragments momentum. [06:02] Why strategy stops working when discernment is missing. [09:41] How opportunity overload erodes clarity, energy, and leadership presence. [12:27] The difference between aligned discernment and avoidance or fear. [15:46] Why high-level growth requires fewer, cleaner decisions.

I'm talking directly to shop owners who are quietly wondering if it's time to make a big change in their role in their retail business: whether that looks like taking some things off your plate or stepping away from it completely. I'll walk you through a simple but powerful assessment I use with clients before any big decision is made. This is not about rushing to sell or making dramatic changes. It's about slowing down and understanding what's actually creating tension in your business and your role and how to intentionally fix that tension. If you've ever thought, "Am I just tired, or is it time for something different," this episode will help you gain clarity before you decide anything. By the end, you'll have a clearer framework to evaluate your role, your business, and what options may truly be available to you. (I think some of them will surprise you!) Our Key Topics Asking whether it's ownership or your current role that feels heavy Looking at pay, hours, and profitability without hustle What happens if the business depends entirely on you How changing life seasons affect business alignment (and why it's okay!) The role curiosity plays in staying or stepping away Why outside perspective matters before big decisions Key Takeaways for Retailers Feeling tired doesn't automatically mean it's time to leave. Are you proud of what you've built and curious where it can go?   Changing your role can completely change how the business feels. Is there something you'd rather be doing to support your business?   A well-designed business should support your life.   Life seasons change, and it's okay to reassess. But don't "give away the farm" or simply close your doors. I can help.   Clarity must come before any major decision. Find an advisor or coach and see what creative solutions you can reach together. "The mistake is [making big decisions] before you understand what's actually driving the tension." -Wendy Batten If you're feeling uncertain, I invite you to listen, reflect, and give yourself space to gain clarity before deciding what's next.

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin is joined by Melanie Peacock Shell to explore the deep shift from being a “therapist” to becoming a Certified Pediatric Feeding Therapist (CPFT). Melanie pulls back the curtain on the "hidden gem" of the Pediatric Feeding Hub, sharing how advanced mentorship and a community of experts can turn clinical overwhelm into streamlined, interdisciplinary success.They dive into the "gut-brain-plate" connection, discussing how gut health, sensory processing, and even sleep are the quiet drivers behind feeding challenges. If you've ever felt humbled by a complex case, this episode will show you how to lean into your community and use a holistic lens to finally see the results your families deserve.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:✔️ The CPFT Edge: How advanced certification shifts your clinical perspective and improves patient outcomes.✔️ The Gut-Brain Connection: Why understanding a child's gut health is non-negotiable for solving "sensory" feeding issues.✔️ Power in Numbers: The role of the Pediatric Feeding Hub in providing the mentorship and collaboration needed to survive private practice.✔️ The Holistic Evaluation: Integrating nutrition, sleep, and family dynamics into your therapy plan rather than just focusing on the "bite."✔️ Navigating Referrals: How to build an interdisciplinary "dream team" to support a child's developmental needs simultaneously.✔️ Overcoming the "Humble" Phase: Dealing with the realization that there is always more to learn—and why that makes you a better therapist.KEY TAKEAWAYS & SOUND BITES"This thing humbled me big time. Pursuing advanced certification isn't about knowing it all; it's about having the tools to figure out the 'why' behind the 'what'.""It all starts with nutrition. If the gut isn't happy and the child isn't sleeping, we are just spinning our wheels at the table."RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEpisode 251: You're Worth The Time and Investment with Melanie Peacock Shell, MEd, CCC-SLPWhy Feeding Therapy Needs a Whole-Body LensOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

Imagine working your entire life for a retirement you never reach. Engineering leader, Jossie Haines, shares how a family tragedy transformed her perspective on ambition, burnout, and the urgent need for human-centric leadership in the age of AI.After reaching the heights of Silicon Valley as a VP of Engineering and working on iconic products like Siri, Jossie realized that the traditional "up and to the right" career path often leads to burnout rather than fulfillment. She discusses the systemic reasons why 50% of women leave tech by age 35, how to leverage AI as a leadership tool rather than a replacement for human judgment, and why true success must be defined on your own terms.3 Key Takeaways:(1) The "Next Step" Philosophy: Avoid the paralysis of trying to map out a massive goal from A to Z. Focus exclusively on the immediate next step—whether it's a phone call or a brainstorm—to gain clarity without the overwhelm.(2) Inclusion is a Product Feature: Diverse teams aren't just a metric; they build better tech. Jossie highlights how a lack of diverse testers can lead to products (like voice assistants) that fail to recognize women's voices or various accents.(3) AI is a Change Management Challenge: Integrating AI into a team isn't just about the software; it's a leadership task. Success with AI requires human oversight to determine what "good" looks like and to ensure it solves the right problems.Connect with Jossie Haines on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jossiemann/Check out her website - https://JossieHaines.com to learn about her upcoming workshops and coaching programs.

Most parents are told ADHD lives only in the brain, but what if the real issue starts much deeper? In this episode, we explore a powerful and often overlooked driver of ADHD symptoms: mineral depletion at the cellular level. You'll hear why calm, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation are literally built from minerals and how many kids are trying to regulate big emotions while running on empty batteries. Dana Kay is joined by Caroline Alan, co-founder of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, to break down complex biology into parent-friendly language. Caroline explains how minerals fuel the mitochondria — the tiny "campfires" inside every cell — and why children who lack proper mineral support can appear anxious, wired, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, even when they eat a "healthy" diet. This conversation helps parents understand why food quality, soil depletion, filtered water, and modern stressors have created a widespread mineral gap — and what gentle, practical steps families can take to support their child's nervous system without overwhelm. If your child struggles with meltdowns, sleep issues, anxiety, or focus, this episode offers a new lens grounded in biology, not behavior.

If you're running content and ads without proof of what converts, you're gambling. Today I'm talking with Pedro Jerez, an entrepreneur and growth strategist who's led marketing for multiple 8- and 9-figure companies and spent years as a top 1% sales closer inside Tony Robbins' organization.  Pedro breaks down how a single, well-built offer can scale past 9-figures — and how to validate it in days, not months — instead of burning time and money on ideas that don't convert. We get into the biggest content mistakes entrepreneurs make, the one metric algorithms use to decide what gets distribution, and how to use organic content to pressure-test creative before you ever spend on paid. Then we go deeper — what working for Tony Robbins was really like, the inner work most founders avoid, and how to shift from just making money to building businesses that align with how you want to live and lead.

Matt Ferguson is a seasoned sales leader and coach with a global reach, having worked with clients in over seven countries. Known for his direct, story-driven teaching style, Matt focuses on sales fundamentals, leadership alignment, and the importance of clear communication. He joins the podcast to unpack the noise in modern sales, the misuse of technology, and the role of fundamentals in driving consistent success. Three Key Quotes from the Podcast with Matt Ferguson "Stories that other people go through benefit people way more, and I think that's in your head." "We all have the same problems in some way…because you're dealing with people." "You saying stuff all the time—you're almost kinda looked at as dad. Like, 'Oh, there goes dad again.'" In this lively and thoughtful conversation, Matt Ferguson and host Mike explore the true fundamentals of sales—storytelling, project management, communication, and mindset. They tackle AI tools, fake content, and the importance of real human connection in leadership and selling. The episode is packed with insights, humor, and authentic experiences. ales fundamentals, sales leadership, AI in sales, sales tools, sales communication 5 Key Takeaways and Their Catalyst Connection 1. The Right Tools Only Work When You Use Them Intentionally AI note-takers like Elephant are only helpful if you revisit and apply what they capture. Sales leaders often hoard tools without gaining insight—intent matters more than tech. Use tools like rangefinders in golf: they're useful when aligned with real awareness. Catalyst Connection: Intentional use of tools sparks clarity and momentum. 2. Fundamentals Beat Noise in Sales Fundamentals include: asking questions, storytelling, time management, and project management. The sales world is filled with "fake fundamentals" that distract from what matters. Clarity in fundamentals is what helps reps and leaders progress confidently. Catalyst Connection: Re-centering on true fundamentals activates consistent growth. 3. Communication is the Core of Everything Misalignment in teams and sales processes usually stems from poor communication. Clarify, verify, and create space for others to share—especially in leadership. Don't assume people understood what you said; ask them to reflect it back. Catalyst Connection: Clear communication removes blocks and empowers action. 4. Storytelling Makes Lessons Stick Matt brings client stories into conversation to make abstract lessons real. Stories create emotional connections and help teams remember and apply learnings. Don't hide lessons from clients—share them (respectfully) to help others grow. Catalyst Connection: Storytelling ignites empathy and shared learning. 5. Leadership Doesn't Mean Doing It Alone Leaders often believe they must solve every problem solo. Team alignment and shared ownership make challenges easier to overcome. Create space for "players-only meetings" and organic collaboration. Catalyst Connection: Asking for help or offering collaboration can be the spark that changes everything. Find Your Catalyst at findmycatalyst.com

In this episode, Geoff introduces the CRIT framework: "Context, Role, Interview, Task."

He shares his CRIT framework for turning AI into your most valuable thought partner and explains why AI isn't replacing your job. Geoff demonstrates how to collapse three months of work into 30 minutes, shares a painful leadership lesson, and breaks down why 99% of AI use cases are distractions from the 20% that actually drives results. Discover practical strategies for making faster, smarter decisions, getting AI to ask YOU the right questions instead of the other way around, and reclaiming what makes you uniquely human in an AI-driven world.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Geoff Woods on Why Most Leaders Are Using AI Wrong—and How to Fix It https://bit.ly/TLP-497 Key Takeaways [03:04] Geoff recounts pushing for a 250x revenue goal three months ago that "actually broke the team" and caused a key leader's resignation. [07:02] Geoff responds to whether "AI-enhanced" is better than "AI-driven" by saying leaders who don't use AI "are at a severe disadvantage." [10:21] Geoff explains his mindset as a family man first is rooted in "the questions you ask yourself determine your fate." [13:53] Geoff reveals the most common self-deception in leaders: "They put more focus on having the right answer than having the right question." [19:26] Geoff walks through applying the CRIT framework to Jim's niece Yvonne's question about AI for client lifecycle management. [26:31] Geoff says the missing link between reading the book and transformation is simple: "Whether they actually applied it." [28:16] Geoff explains decision-making isn't just go/no-go but asks three questions: "What's the upside? What's the downside? Am I willing to live with the downside?" [34:03] Geoff shares his controversial belief in extreme 80/20: "If it's not a 20% priority driving 80% of impact, then why are we wasting oxygen on it?" [39:17] Geoff's closing thought: "You are not what you do" and realizing this means "AI can only enhance you because it can never replace you." [42:27] And remember… "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing you can do is the wrong thing. And the worst thing you can do is nothing." – Theodore Roosevelt Quotable Quotes "I don't ask AI questions. I make AI ask me questions. That's the core difference between me and everybody else." "Most people spend their career majoring in the minors. Nobody got promoted for being the best email checker in their company." "You are not what you do. The moment you realize what you do is not who you are, you start asking better questions." "If you want to 10X your growth, you've got to stop doing 80% of what you currently do and reinvest that effort into higher capabilities." "The questions you ask yourself determine your fate. They determine how you see the world." "I believe the purpose of a goal is not to achieve a result. It's to be a compass to inform who you can become." "Throughout history, technology has made the value of certain skills skyrocket and the value of certain skills plummet." "AI is not going to take your job. But somebody who knows how to use AI as a thinking partner absolutely will."

February 2026 is a pivotal month with a major shift from the practical, grounded energy of Capricorn into the innovative, breakthrough-oriented energy of Aquarius. As we enter a powerful six-week "eclipse portal," this month offers a rare opportunity for spiritual transformation, the shedding of old identities, and significant technological or social breakthroughs.Key Takeaways and Timestamps00:00 - The Three Phases of FebruaryFebruary is defined by three distinct stages: the onset of eclipse season, a massive shift into Aquarius energy alongside the Chinese New Year, and Mercury turning retrograde to close the month.01:08 - Identifying Your Personal FocusTo understand how these energies affect you, locate the house governed by Aquarius in your birth chart. This area of your life—whether it be career, relationships, or self—will receive the most attention and potential for breakthroughs this month.02:01 - Refining Rhythms and RoutinesUntil mid-February, utilize the remaining Capricorn influence to "tune up" your daily habits. Establishing sustainable morning rhythms and circadian-aligned routines sets the foundation for the growth to come.03:31 - The Full Moon in Cancer (Feb 1st)Starting the month with a full moon in the nakshatra of Ashlesha illuminates deep emotional needs and "stuck" energies. It is a time for addressing family, home stability, and finances.05:06 - Entering the Eclipse PortalEclipse season is a six-week window (starting early February through March 18th) that acts as a transformational portal.06:01 - Critical Dates: February 17th and March 3rdThese are the most intense days of the eclipse season. Avoid major decisions, big conversations, or starting new projects on these dates, as clarity will be low and obstacles are more likely.08:03 - Chinese New Year: The Fire HorseMid-month marks the transition from Snake energy into the Fire Horse. This shift brings forward momentum and a powerful "healing" energy through the Shatabhisha nakshatra, symbolized by "100 healers".09:47 - The Ego and Identity CrisisWith Ketu in Leo, you may experience a spiritual "death" or identity crisis. This is an opportunity to release old versions of yourself—like discarding worn-out clothes—to step into a more authentic power.18:01 - Mercury Retrograde in Pisces (Feb 26th)At the end of the month, Mercury turns retrograde and becomes "debilitated" in Pisces. From February 26th to March 20th, focus on cleaning, organizing, and finishing old projects rather than launching anything new.24:45 - Jupiter Retrograde: Returning to TeachersWith Jupiter retrograde in Gemini all month, it is an ideal time to reread influential books, reconnect with old mentors, and revisit past spiritual teachings.KEYWORDSVedic astrology forecast, February 2026 astrology, eclipse season, Aquarius stellium, Mercury retrograde Pisces, Rahu Ketu, Jyotish, spiritual growth, identity shifts, Jeremy Devens, Horoscope, SiderealFREE RESOURCES at https://www.quietmindastrology.com⭐️ Free Birth Chart⭐️ Free Horoscopes⭐️ Podcast⭐️ Instagram⭐️ YouTubeWORK WITH ME⭐️ Book a Reading⭐️ Decode Your Chart⭐️ Mentorship

Private equity entered 2026 with renewed momentum following a strong rebound in 2025, marked by a 57% rise in deal value and a significant recovery in exits. Strategic buyers and secondaries helped unlock long‑delayed liquidity, while improved macro conditions and stabilized valuations strengthened underwriting confidence. With most GPs expecting increases in both acquisitions and exits over the next six months — and signalling strong conviction in the quality of 2025 vintages — the industry heads into 2026 with clearer visibility, improved fundamentals and growing optimism.

Marcus Chan is the founder of Venli Consulting Group and a top sales coach known for transforming underperforming teams into high-performing machines. With a background that spans individual sales excellence and large-scale team leadership, Marcus brings a laser focus to diagnosing the real problems behind poor sales results—and solving them with intention, systems, and deep-rooted discipline. "Are you solving a symptom or are you solving the problem?" "Preparation creates precision." "Eighty, ninety percent of people float. They just float. They're not intentional." Marcus shares how sales teams can stop fixing the wrong problems. He explains how better planning, strong systems, and smart leadership lead to real results. With a focus on doing the right work, Marcus shows how to stop floating through the day and start making real progress in sales and life. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Solve the Real Problem, Not Just the Symptoms Most teams focus on more activity, not better outcomes. Real change starts with finding the root cause, not guessing. Diagnose first—then fix the problem that matters most. 2. Most People Float—Intentionality is the Catalyst 80–90% of people "float" without a clear plan. Build routines and systems to stay focused on big goals. Being intentional helps you win the day before it starts. 3. Fixing Frontline Leadership with CHARGE Many sales managers were never taught how to lead. The CHARGE model outlines six key leadership skills: Coach, Hire, Align, Run pipeline, Grade performance, Engineer culture. Good leadership creates strong teams that perform with purpose. 4. Not Every Manager Role Fits—and That's Okay Some top reps struggle in leadership roles. Honest, safe conversations help leaders find the right fit. It's better to step back into your strength than stay stuck. 5. Build These 3 Essential Skills Emotional intelligence to understand yourself and others. Communication to lead and connect across any team. Adaptability to grow through change, not get stuck in it.

The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you).

A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On Wealth vs. Rich “Rich is good. Wealthy is better.” “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” “It’s hard to hit what you can’t see—and even harder to hit what you don’t know.” (on knowing the target) On Discipline “The key to success in growing wealth is discipline.” [ On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth. I had to let the pride go so I could grab hold of the wealth.” On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” “Your setback is not the end of the story unless you choose it to be.” On Starting Late “Anybody can become wealthy if you use these principles.” “When is the best time to plant a tree? 80 years ago.

Zach sits down with Casey and Meygan Caston, founders of Marriage365, to talk about how a marriage that nearly collapsed in year three became the foundation for a global relationship resource. Both Casey and Meygan grew up surrounded by divorce, affairs, and unresolved conflict. Determined not to repeat their parents' patterns, they entered marriage with optimism—but no tools. By year three, resentment, blame, and emotional shutdown had taken over, and Meygan found herself convinced she had made the biggest mistake of her life. What changed everything wasn't mutual effort at first—it was personal responsibility. After starting therapy alone, Meygan learned boundaries, emotional regulation, and how to take ownership of her part of the dance. Thirteen months later, her changed posture toward conflict forced a shift in the relationship dynamic, and Casey began doing his own work. Together, they share how changing one partner changes the entire system; why marriage is not about solo dancing; and how resentment—not communication—is usually the real problem couples face. Zach weaves in his own frameworks around adulthood, repair, and the “dance” of relationship, while Casey and Meygan offer practical insight from years of coaching couples in crisis. The conversation also explores forgiveness, curiosity, intentional choice, cultural myths about love, and why healthy marriages are built through habits—not hope. Key Takeaways You're not stuck – Changing yourself changes the relationship system. Marriage is a team sport – Two people dancing separately isn't partnership. Resentment breaks communication – Most “communication problems” are really unresolved hurt. Repair requires ownership – A real apology validates pain and invites rebuilding trust. Acceptance matters – Forgiveness doesn't have to be instant, but honesty does. Curiosity beats defensiveness – Looking inward is the first step toward growth. Feelings fluctuate; choices endure – Love is sustained through intentional action. Differences aren't the enemy – Harmony comes from resolving dissonance, not eliminating it. Guest Info Casey & Meygan Caston Casey and Meygan are the founders of Marriage365, a relationship coaching platform dedicated to helping couples build intentional, resilient marriages. Drawing from their own near-divorce story and years of coaching experience, they offer practical tools, habits, and frameworks for repair, communication, and connection.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tammeca Rochester. SUMMARY OF THE TAMMECA ROCHESTER INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald 1. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Spotlight Tammeca Rochester, founder and CEO of Harlem Cycle, and her journey from engineering and corporate marketing into entrepreneurship. Highlight the importance of holistic wellness, community‑based fitness, and representation within the fitness industry. Inspire entrepreneurs—especially Black women—to pursue business ownership, develop strong business plans, and stay committed to their vision despite barriers. Overall, the interview serves as both a success story and a lesson in entrepreneurship, community impact, and personal transformation. 2. Summary of Key Themes A. Re‑Defining Herself Through Education & Career Changes Tammeca explains why she pursued multiple degrees—from Spelman and Georgia Tech to NYU Stern—and how each phase of her life motivated a new direction. She began in engineering, shifted to business, and ultimately found her passion in wellness. B. The Birth of Harlem Cycle Launched out of personal stress relief and a desire for culturally inclusive fitness spaces. Indoor cycling reminded her of joyful childhood bike rides in Atlanta. She wanted a wellness space where Black people felt seen, represented, and culturally connected—something missing from other cycling studios she attended. C. Building a Community-Centered Fitness Brand Harlem Cycle blends movement, music, and culture, playing the genres she grew up with—reggae, soca, hip‑hop—and fostering a socially connected environment.She stresses that fitness isn’t just physical but also emotional and mental health. D. Entrepreneurship: The Real Story Tammeca self‑financed her business after being denied a bank loan. She built her studio while still working full‑time and caring for a young child. Her first year was grueling—waking up at 5:30am and working until after 9pm daily. She emphasizes the importance of writing a business plan, using realistic projections, and staying true to your vision. E. Mentorship, Representation, and Industry Impact Over 60% of her team began as Harlem Cycle clients she later trained to become instructors. She aims to shift the fitness industry to include more diverse voices and accessible community wellness options. She plans for expansion, opening a third Harlem Cycle location in Newark to serve another community with limited wellness options. 3. Key Takeaways 1. You can redefine yourself at any point in life. “We can always redefine ourselves at any moment in life.” 2. Wellness must address the whole person. “Fitness is not just physical… it’s emotional and mental well‑being.” 3. Create community spaces where people feel represented. Tammeca built Harlem Cycle because she felt isolated in other fitness spaces as the only person of color. She wanted a studio rooted in Black culture and community. 4. Entrepreneurship requires discipline, planning, and sacrifice. “Write out your plan… and stay true to your plan.” “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come.” 5. Community impact drives her business model. Harlem Cycle isn’t just a workout studio—it's a culturally rooted community center focused on mental, emotional, and physical health. 6. Representation & mentorship matter. “60% of my team started as clients that we trained.” 4. Memorable Quotes Here are the strongest, most quotable lines from Tammeca: On Reinvention “Each time has been a moment in life where I evolved because of a goal I personally wanted.” On Holistic Fitness “Fitness to me is all about how we take care of our bodies—not just our physical body, but our emotional well‑being, our mental well‑being.” On Creating Harlem Cycle “I didn’t want to be the only person of color in the room—again. I wanted a place where my community could be seen.” On Entrepreneurship “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come… back down those numbers by 90%.” On Community Impact “We’re changing the fitness industry… starting here in Harlem by training our clients to be part of the wellness industry.” On Cultural Integrity “We don’t care about competition here—it’s about community.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
