Scott Gussin grew up in New York, lost his mother at seven years old in a moment that changed the direction of everything that followed, fell into selling weed and hash and LSD coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, and eventually built one of the most specific and most audacious international drug smuggling operations available — bringing hash from Morocco to the United States across a career that spanned thirty years before it finally ended. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #drugsmugglers #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Buy Scott's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Gus-All-Years-Combined-Samson/dp/B0H34MTKSV _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Roadblock with hash on board 00:37 Guest intro: Scott's story 00:57 Growing up in Portchester 01:21 Losing his mom at 7 03:37 A parade of housekeepers 06:59 The housekeepers get weird 08:03 Getting into weed at 15 10:42 Meeting Reuben and the LSD 13:58 Hash vs. weed explained 17:28 Pricing the product 20:00 Spotting 'heads' back then 22:45 Only two straight jobs 25:05 The ignorant law enforcement 26:18 Cops don't recognize hash 27:25 A trippy traffic stop 32:26 Acid buddy becomes a JW 37:23 After high school 38:18 Dodging the Vietnam draft 40:56 College for connections 44:40 Hitching with a pound of weed 46:16 The business mindset 47:42 Leaving college for California 48:09 Meeting Cassidy and the Morocco plan 50:47 The cocaine trip that wasn't 54:30 Selling the boat, new plan 57:03 Bringing Stella along 58:59 Buying the VW bus 01:01:39 Buying hash on the mountain 01:05:28 Driving with 44 pounds 01:07:09 Coming upon a roadblock 01:10:47 Getting past the roadblock 01:13:52 Setting up at the beach house 01:16:34 Building the secret stash bed 01:18:57 A month in Morocco 01:20:00 The sign to leave 01:22:45 The Moroccan customs search 01:27:20 The ferry and the dolphins 01:28:24 Easy entry into Spain 01:32:40 Cassidy's anger and laughter 01:33:46 Shipping the bus to Montreal 01:35:28 Swapping the bed in Canada 01:37:53 Crossing into the US with the bed 01:39:13 Selling the hash, big profits 01:43:36 Trust in the old days 01:44:29 Bust risks in Spain and Morocco 01:46:19 The failed second attempt 01:49:01 The near-disastrous boat trip 01:54:15 How long did the career last? 01:54:55 Back to New York, then Arizona 01:59:32 The Laguna Beach connection 02:02:20 Cowboy Neil's operation 02:04:41 The North County partnership 02:07:12 Weighing and distributing 02:09:00 The two-year plan 02:10:16 Thai stick and new markets 02:14:19 The big deal in Laguna 02:17:20 The gift suitcase 02:18:51 The DEA roadblock 02:21:17 Three hours of interrogation 02:25:00 The search comes up empty 02:27:24 Scared straight by the DEA 02:29:04 Overall earnings and taxes 02:32:59 The DEA's advice: leave California 02:36:41 Moving to Florida and new businesses 02:38:00 The mistake that ended it all _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

This week's episode of The Alex McFarland Show was recorded live at the Equip Retreat in Laguna Beach, Florida. Alex is joined by Carl Kerby—founder of Reasons for Hope, bestselling author, and longtime colleague in Christian apologetics—for a conversation about the heart behind the Equip Retreat and the urgent need to reach the next generation with the truth of the Gospel. Together, they discuss the challenges and opportunities of ministering to young people in America, why biblical apologetics is more important than ever, and how believers can effectively communicate the hope of Jesus Christ to a generation searching for truth and authenticity.Scriptures:2 Timothy 2:2Proverbs 10:27Romans 3:23Genesis 3Romans 12Links:Alex McFarlandThe Alex McFarland ShowAsk AlexConversations That MatterMy Relationship with God Free e-bookEquip Retreat Camps United in Prayer DevotionalsSpeaking CalendarBook AlexFollow Alex on  XGive OnlineAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

What happens when trauma therapy stalls, even when you're doing everything right? In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager pulls back the curtain on how he works with clients, and why pairing two respected approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems), helps people heal faster than either one alone.Todd starts with the basics of IFS, the idea that we're all made up of different parts. Some of those parts are wounded, carrying old pain from feeling unsafe, inadequate, unlovable, or abandoned as a child. Other parts are protective, working overtime to make sure we never feel that pain again. He shares a relatable example of how someone who was abandoned might keep choosing partners who feel emotionally safe but not very stimulating, because a protective part refuses to risk abandonment again.Then he explains where EMDR fits in. EMDR helps the brain reprocess a stuck traumatic memory so the past can stay in the past instead of hijacking your reactions in the present. It works beautifully on its own, Todd says, until it doesn't. Sometimes clients go blank, dissociate, or hit a wall. That's not failure. That's a protective part saying the system isn't ready yet.This is where the combination matters. Todd describes how IFS builds the relationship first, helping you meet the protective part, understand what it's guarding, and earn its trust, so EMDR can then release what the wounded part, or exile, has been carrying. He walks through a real-world scenario from his practice with infidelity recovery, where a betrayed partner can't move past the discovery of the affair because a part of them believes letting go would mean letting their partner off the hook or treating themselves like the betrayal didn't matter.You'll hear how befriending that protective part, rather than fighting it, opens the door to processing the deeper wound, whether it's the betrayal itself or earlier abandonment it stirred up. As Todd puts it, one approach builds the relationship, the other releases the burden, and together they can help parts that have carried the same wound for decades finally put it down.If you've tried therapy and felt stuck, or you're working through trust after infidelity and wondering why the pain won't loosen its grip, this episode gives you a clear, compassionate picture of what healing can actually look like.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's carrying something heavy, and follow the show for more honest conversations about love, healing, and relationships.

Forty-four minutes into this conversation, Romi Marie looked down at the timer on her phone and read the number out loud. 4401 — the number that has followed the two of them for twenty-three years. Seconds later, James Haven said the words he had never said out loud in his life. James Haven is a writer, a director, the son of Jon Voight and the brother of Angelina Jolie. Romi Marie is an author, a coach, a mother, and a Substack bestseller — and she is the woman he married in Laguna Beach in front of his father, then lost fifteen days later when she filed for annulment citing fraud. This is the first time the two of them have ever told that story together. What they reveal is not what the headlines said. As Romi puts it, she filed because someone was lying to her about a lot of things, but mostly lying to himself. We go all the way back to May 2002 — the El Rey Theatre, the only date night she ever had with her father, and the tall man who walked over with his mother. The nickname Marcheline Bertrand gave them. The key left under the mat and the twenty years of silence that followed. What it does to a boy to be introduced at Hollywood premieres to people who never take their eyes off his father or his sister. Being locked in a closet at five years old for reaching for a dress. A father who called him sick — at their wedding table, after the wedding. And then June 5th. The day the court finalized the annulment. The same day Romi picked up the phone and called him, without knowing what day it was. This is a coming out, a reunion, and a resurrection.

Why does your child's meltdown sometimes bring out a version of you that sounds exactly like your own parent?Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager breaks down self-led parenting, a concept rooted in Internal Family Systems, and why so many parents end up reacting instead of responding when a child pushes their buttons. Todd separates the wounded, protective parts of us — the manager, who worries about looking good and getting it right, and the firefighter, who explodes or shuts down — from the calm, confident "self" that can actually hold a boundary without losing warmth.He shares two stories to make the idea concrete. The first is personal: watching his three-year-old daughter get turned away by other kids on her first day of preschool, and realizing his own strong reaction as a parent had more to do with his own childhood than with what was actually happening to her. The second involves a client whose fear around her own childhood health struggles gets triggered every time her son won't listen about food, and how naming that pattern is helping her respond to him differently.Todd's point isn't that parents need to be calm all the time or get it perfect. Self-led parenting means noticing when a part of you has taken over the moment, and coming back to yourself before you respond. That shift is what lets you set a limit without making your child feel small, and let them sit with a hard feeling without needing to fix it or shut it down right away.If you've ever said something to your kid that you swore you'd never say — and heard your own parent's voice come out of your mouth — this episode gives you a way to understand what's actually happening in that moment, and a starting point for handling it differently next time.Follow Todd Creager for more conversations on relationships, parenting, and healing the younger parts of ourselves, because raising kids well often starts with parenting the parts of us they trigger.

Why does a small comment from your spouse sometimes set off a reaction that feels way bigger than the moment calls for? Todd Creager, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience, breaks down what's actually happening when your partner triggers you.In this solo episode, Todd explains that the size of your reaction is the clue. When your heart races, your jaw tightens, and you're three steps into an argument before you've decided to have it, it's rarely the grown-up version of you responding. Todd describes a protector — the part that goes on offense with anger, blame, or distance — and an exile, an older wound in you that once felt dismissed, controlled, criticized, or abandoned. He uses a familiar example: a partner forgetting something at the grocery store, and the anger that follows feeling out of proportion to what actually happened.Todd offers a question you can ask yourself mid-fight: how old does this feeling actually feel? That question alone can change a conversation, because it helps you see you're not really fighting your spouse — you're reacting to a moment from long ago that just got pressed again. Todd is careful to note this isn't about excusing a partner's behavior, and it isn't about blaming yourself either. It's about recognizing which part of you is driving the reaction so you can respond instead of react.If you've ever wondered why you overreact to your partner, or why the same argument keeps repeating with more heat than it deserves, this episode gives you a way to slow down and understand what's underneath it.Listen to this episode to learn how recognizing your own triggers can change the way you and your partner talk to each other, and subscribe for more honest, practical guidance from Todd Creager on love, sex, and building the relationship you actually want.

When your partner shuts down in the middle of a hard conversation, it's easy to read it as punishment — as coldness, stubbornness, or not caring. What if that's almost never what's actually happening?In this episode, Todd Creager — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience — takes a closer look at stonewalling, one of the patterns John and Julie Gottman identified as a serious warning sign in relationships. Todd offers a different way to understand it, one rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the way protective parts of us learned to manage emotional danger long before our current relationship existed.He explains that stonewalling isn't cruelty. It's a manager — a protective part that decided somewhere along the way that silence was safer than speech. That part didn't develop in response to your spouse. It developed in response to what happened much earlier: a child who was dismissed when they spoke up, shamed when they were vulnerable, or simply never had anyone attuned enough to make expression feel safe.Todd walks through real examples from his practice, including the client who remembers being met with anger as a child for expressing a normal feeling — and the client who has no clear memories of meanness, only an absence of attunement. In both cases, the outcome was the same: the body learned to go quiet.The shift Todd describes — from "why are you doing this to me?" to "what does that part of you need so we can come back to each other?" — is where real repair begins. Not just of the current conflict, but of older wounds the relationship has quietly been carrying.If you or your partner stonewalls, this episode gives you a new framework for understanding what's actually happening, and a starting point for approaching it with less blame and more curiosity.Listen now — and if this work is resonating, visit toddcreager.com to learn more about individual and couples therapy, or explore his self-guided programs.

Lo shares how a frustrating 18‑month search for answers about her own depression, anxiety, and women's health issues led her to discover the “care gap” that inspired Love Wellness. Lo also opens up about life as a first-time mom, why she launched her brutally candid podcast “Tell Me I'm a Good Mom” just weeks postpartum, and her hot takes on supplements, authenticity in business and why she wishes social media would go extinct.   Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the fight you keep having with your spouse isn't really about dishes, money, or who said what last Tuesday? What if the two of you aren't even fighting each other at all?In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and relationship coach with over 30 years of experience working with couples — walks you through a framework he uses with couples every day: the three internal parts that show up in virtually every relationship conflict. Once you can see them, the whole fight starts to make sense.Todd breaks down the Firefighter — the part that attacks, raises its voice, and catalogues every grievance from the last six months. It looks strong, but it's actually operating from fear. Then there's the Manager — the part that goes quiet, pulls back, or tries to smooth everything over. From the outside it looks calm, but inside it's just trying to survive the moment. Underneath both of those protective parts lives what Todd calls the wounded or exiled part — the younger, more vulnerable self that feels unseen, unimportant, unsafe, or like it doesn't belong.Todd shares a real couple he's working with right now: a wife who grew up in a loud household where no one really listened, and a husband who was told as a child he should never have been born. Their fights look like her escalating and him withdrawing — but what's really happening is two wounded parts trying desperately to protect themselves. As Todd puts it, their protective parts are actually making things worse for each other, even when that's the last thing either of them wants.The shift happens when couples stop seeing each other as enemies and start recognizing the parts driving the conflict. That awareness — paired with compassion for your own internal experience — is what makes real repair possible.If you and your partner keep getting stuck in the same cycles, this episode gives you a clear, honest way to look at what's actually going on beneath the surface.Todd works with couples navigating communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, and long-standing patterns that feel impossible to move through.

What if the thing you've been doing to fix your relationship is actually what's keeping it stuck?Most couples hit a wall. You've read the books, planned the date nights, promised to listen better — and somehow you're still in the same spot. More exhausted, more frustrated, and further apart than before. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years working with couples — explains why trying harder rarely works, and what's actually happening beneath the surface when your best efforts fall flat.Todd introduces a way of thinking that goes deeper than most couples therapy advice: the idea that we're made up of different parts — and that the real reason relationships stall isn't lack of effort. It's that one part of you is trying to fix things while another part — a wounded, scared, or quietly resentful part — isn't on board. No amount of willpower gets through to that part.He walks through a real couple he's currently working with: a woman who never felt seen as a child and erupts when her husband gets defensive, and a husband who grew up with an aggressive father and shuts down the moment conflict starts. Neither is the villain. Both are being driven by protective parts that took shape long before they ever met.What they're learning — and what Todd wants you to take away — is the difference between a protective relationship and a self-led relationship. A self-led relationship doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from getting curious about the parts of you that keep showing up in the same painful patterns, and learning to lead from a place of clarity, compassion, and genuine connection.This episode won't hand you a quick fix. It will give you a different way of seeing yourself, your partner, and the cycle you keep getting stuck in — and that shift is where real change in a relationship actually begins.If you're in a long-term relationship and feel like you've tried everything, start here.Subscribe to Todd's podcast for honest, practical guidance on the relationship challenges that matter most.

For the past several summers, each of my four kids has been able to pick one work trip they want to join me on. They look through my speaking schedule, choose the destination, and other than the hour I'm on stage, they decide what we do together. They call it "The Daddy Trip." They think it's for them. Truthfully, it's for me. It's my excuse to spend focused, one-on-one time with each child before another year slips by. A couple summers ago, Grace picked a speaking event near Laguna Beach, California. Let me tell you about our trip.

What if the thing getting in the way of your sex life isn't a physical problem — it's a protective one?In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes a candid, grounded look at what happens when your inner critic shows up in the bedroom. Whether it sounds like Am I good enough? Is my partner enjoying this? or it shows up as numbness, avoidance, or a total loss of desire — Todd explains that these aren't failures. They're protective responses doing a job.Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd breaks down two types of protective parts that commonly interfere with sexual intimacy. The manager is the critical voice constantly scanning for what could go wrong, trying to protect you from shame, inadequacy, or humiliation. The firefighter is the part that numbs out, dissociates, or finds every possible reason to avoid sex altogether — because if you never show up, you never have to feel exposed.Both are trying to shield you from older wounds: the fear of not being good enough, the memory of embarrassment, or the quiet belief that you're somehow less than. And because desire and the inner critic can't occupy the same space at the same time, understanding what's running interference is the real starting point for change.Todd also introduces EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — as a therapeutic tool that can help people access and process the older memories keeping these protective parts on high alert. When those memories are worked through, the protective parts don't have to work as hard, and your natural desire and arousal have room to return — not through willpower, but through healing.If you've been struggling with performance anxiety, sexual avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your partner in the bedroom, this episode offers a way to approach it with curiosity rather than judgment.Todd reads and responds to every comment.

Is jealousy making you feel out of control — or controlling? Before you try to talk yourself out of it, it's worth understanding what it's actually doing for you.In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes an honest, compassionate look at jealousy — not as a character flaw or a red flag, but as a protective response rooted in older, unhealed pain. If your partner mentions a coworker and your chest tightens, or a liked photo on social media sends your mind into overdrive, this episode speaks directly to what's happening beneath that reaction.Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a framework that recognizes we all carry different "parts" of ourselves — Todd explains that jealousy is rarely about the present moment. It's a protective part standing guard over a much older wound: the early learning that love can be taken away, that you can be made to feel unimportant, invisible, or replaced.Todd walks through two specific types of protective responses that show up when jealousy hits. The first is the manager — the part that watches, checks, scans for threats, reads texts over your partner's shoulder, and keeps a quiet inventory of who they spend time with. The second is the firefighter — the part that reacts, explodes, accuses, or shuts down just to stop an unbearable feeling. Both are trying to prevent pain, even when the behaviors are causing damage.The shift Todd offers isn't about pushing jealousy away. It's about bringing curiosity and compassion toward the part of you that's scared — so you can stop reacting from fear and start communicating from your whole, settled self. When you understand that jealousy's intent is always protective, you gain options you didn't have before. You stop being run by your past and create real space for a different kind of relationship.Whether you're the one struggling with jealousy or you're on the receiving end of a partner's reactions, this episode gives you a way to see it differently — and work with it rather than against it.If this resonates with you or someone you know, share this episode. Todd reads and responds to comments, and he'd love to hear from you. If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who could benefit and leave a review.

The Wedge got so big surfers pulled out 9-foot guns—and Blair Conklin says it was some of the biggest surf he has seen there in his lifetime. In this episode of the Pinch My Salt podcast, Blair breaks down the historic Wedge swell at Newport Beach, why it may have been the biggest in over a decade, and how it compared to Hurricane Marie.Blair takes Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan inside the chaos: two waves colliding, unpredictable takeoff zones, massive shorebreak, Hawaiian chargers, Koa Rothman, a bodyboarder throwing a double backflip, and the split-second positioning needed to catch one of California's most dangerous waves.The three-time United Skim Tour World Champion and legendary Vic winner also talks about growing up skimboarding in Laguna Beach and helping push skimboarding into the viral era. The conversation gets into Tfue's skimboarding roots, Bill Bryan's influence, monkey crawling, surfers versus skimmers, why unfinished skimboard waves still count, novelty waves, wave pools, and whether skimboarding might actually be harder than surfing. This is a full breakdown of The Wedge, modern skimboarding, surf culture, and the strange world where shorebreak specialists become some of the most entertaining athletes in action sports.Blair also reveals what makes The Wedge so difficult when it gets this big, who dominated the historic swell, and why positioning at the exact point where two waves collide can be both terrifying and nearly impossible.PLUS:Laird Hamilton's legendary Malibu Pier shootTfue before he became a gaming superstarThe truth about surfers versus skimboardersWhy skimboarding clips go viralBill Bryan's influence on modern skimboardingThe monkey crawl comebackBig-wave boards at The WedgeKoa Rothman charging CaliforniaThe future of skimboarding and novelty wavesWhy skimmers apparently don't have to land anythingWas this the biggest Wedge swell since Hurricane Marie?

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JBS, FEATURING JEFF BLISS AND MICHAEL VLAHOS, 6-12-2026.1900 SAN PEDRO., CAThis dialogue features a broadcast of The John Bachelor Show hosted by John Bachelor and Jeff Bliss, focusing on various developments across the American West. The segment begins with an on-location report from Laguna Beach, where massive, record-breakinWg ocean swells have caused both excitement for surfers and recent local tragedies. Shifting to Las Vegas, the hosts discuss the cultural impact of a new In-N-Out Burger on the Strip and progress on the future Oakland A's stadium. Political analysis covers the Los Angeles mayoral runoff and the California governor's race, including allegations of voter fraud in progressive districts. The conversation concludes with a deep look at the SpaceX IPO, comparing modern private space innovation to the decline of traditional American industrial and naval shipbuilding. Throughout the exchange, the participants weigh the tension between technological advancement and the perceived erosion of national institutional strength.

The Gary & Shannon Show Hour 3 (06.12) – Gary & Shannon discuss the day’s most trending for today’s #WhatsHappening including: U.S. launching another airstrike on Iran and the text of a deal has been approved, SpaceX has begun trading, the body of the 5-year victim swept into Laguna Beach has been recovered, Pasadena Police release footage of one officer accidentally shooting another officer, and more.Gary & Shannon discuss the day’s most trending political stories in today’s #SwampWatch including: Trump says the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran, national mall vandalized with ‘8647’ markings ahead of Independence celebrations, Marjorie Taylor Green calls handling of Epstein files ‘traitorous’, and more.Gary & Shannon do the Nine News Nuggets You Need to Know (but likely missed) this week which include: a kids lemonade stand is robbed by 2 gunman, what would Jesus drink?, missed court date sparks manhunt where the suspect crams himself into an air conditioner, and a man in Florida steals a woman’s car after he crashed his own car into a tree… and drives to Chick-fil-A with the stolen car.Gary & Shannon wrap the show finishing out the News Nuggets You Need To Know (but most certainly missed) this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.10) Conway kicks off the hour with a sweet story about checking into hotels and why you should always add your name to the reservation. For Conway, one hotel moment became unforgettable when Lakers legend James Worthy shared how much Tim Conway and The Carol Burnett Show meant to him. It was a reminder that great comedy does not just make people laugh — it stays with them. Then the crew gets into a wild Southern California school prank after nearly 200 doors were glued shut at Patrick Henry High School in San Diego right as finals week ramped up. That brings back memories of prank stores, itching powder, and Conway’s brother causing chaos on school desks. Later, the hour turns serious with dangerous surf in Laguna Beach, where a mother and her two children were swept into the ocean near Treasure Island Beach. The powerful swell created dangerous conditions across Orange County beaches, with one teen girl still missing. The hour wraps with a lighter look at foreign FIFA fans discovering American culture ahead of the World Cup — from Big Gulps and Taco Bell to the ultimate American obsession: ranch dressing. Because in the U.S., we put ranch on everything. Trending Keywords: Tim Conway, Carol Burnett Show, James Worthy, Lakers, hotel story, school prank, glued doors, Patrick Henry High School, San Diego, Laguna Beach, Treasure Island Beach, dangerous surf, FIFA fans, American culture, Big Gulp, Taco Bell, ranch dressing, Conway Show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of change isn't usually knowledge or discipline. It's the lack of space. When your days are crammed with work, family needs, and nonstop distractions, transformation can feel like one more demand you can't meet. I sit down with international best-selling author and speaker Beth Wilson to talk about a different path: real personal growth that begins when you soften, create room, and let the next right step reveal itself. Beth shares lived wisdom from writing Escaping Crazy Town, including a striking Laguna Beach story where, at her lowest point, a stranger rose out of the ocean and told her she needed a hug. It sounds impossible, and that's exactly why it lands. We unpack what moments like that can do for the nervous system, the heart, and the part of you that's tired of trying to force a breakthrough. We also get practical. If you're genuinely busy, we talk micro-practices you can do in a weekday afternoon: a quick mirror check-in to remember “I'm in here,” a short walk that turns into a moving meditation, and simple ways to use nature and grounding to reset your mind. We dig into resistance, fear of the unknown, and why willingness is the threshold to spiritual change, even if you're only “willing to be willing.” If this conversation opens something in you, don't rush it.

In this episode, Christy is breaking down why creatives lose deals to cheaper, closer, or more experienced competitors - and the exact middle funnel strategy that flips that around, even when you're the most expensive option in the room.Most photographers, filmmakers, content creators, and social media managers focus almost entirely on portfolio content and conversion content. What gets skipped is the middle: the content that makes someone actually like you. And without that, even a warm inquiry turns cold the second they see your price.Christy uses a story from her stay at the Montage in Laguna Beach to unpack why luxury brands are actually the most personal brands - and how that applies directly to your marketing. The Marriott is polished and professional. The Montage knows your name. That difference is what gets clients to choose you over someone cheaper, more convenient, or more local.She also walks through the Identity Pillar Framework she teaches inside the Creativ Rise Mastermind: three specific content pillars that build the know, like, and trust factor your funnel is missing.Here's what's covered:Why the "like" factor is the most skipped piece of the marketing funnelWhat luxury brands do differently (and how to apply it to your creative business)The Identity Pillar Framework and how to pick your three pillarsWhat identity matching is and why it closes deals at higher price pointsWhere to start sharing your pillars without overhauling your whole content strategyStart building the middle of your funnel and the right clients will start choosing you - even when you're not the cheapest, closest, or most experienced option.P.S.

Fresh off the Laguna Beach reunion, I'm answering your questions and giving you the behind-the-scenes of what this experience was actually like. We get into everything—from how it really felt walking onto that reunion stage after 20+ years, to where things stand with Lauren, what was cut, what happened off-camera, and why some moments didn't feel as natural as they looked. We also shift into grief, healing, and what it's like losing someone you love. I share my experience with my brother, how grief evolves, and the perspective that's helped me find acceptance and peace.Plus, I get into balancing all of this with real life: motherhood, work, and how I make everything fit without losing what matters most.
