Have you ever chased success, only to realize it didn't give you the freedom or fulfillment you hoped for? In this transformative episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Mark Rampolla - founder of ZICO Coconut Water, co-founder of Groundforce Capital, and author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom: 7 Steps to Living Beyond Limits. Mark shares a refreshingly honest look at building ZICO from his garage into a global brand which he sold to Coca-Cola for $200 million (before buying it back a few years later) - and the unexpected discovery that financial success alone doesn't guarantee meaning or joy. Together, Nicole and Mark dive into why entrepreneurs become trapped in the pursuit of more, how the success industry subtly shapes our definitions of achievement, and the practical steps to experiencing internal freedom and fulfillment—right now. If you've ever wondered why your wins still feel incomplete, this conversation offers a roadmap for shifting your mindset, avoiding burnout, and leading from a place of clarity and purpose. You'll also hear what investors truly look for in founders and why personal transformation is the hidden engine behind sustainable business growth, even in seasons of loss. What We Discuss in This Episode What does real success look like, and how does your definition evolve as you grow? Why do entrepreneurs remain stuck in the cycle of chasing more, and how does the success industry reinforce it? How can you prevent burnout and create genuine satisfaction while building your business? What are Mark's seven steps to entrepreneurial freedom and fulfillment? How does self-awareness open the door for personal and team transformation? Which inner habits and tools help you navigate challenges and create lasting freedom? What do top investors like Mark value in founders beyond revenue and metrics? How did losing his home in the Palisades wildfire reshape his perspective on what truly matters? Why is self-reflection essential for both business success and personal joy? How can you begin practicing fulfillment, peace, and purpose in your business today? Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 - Why Success Doesn't Equal Fulfillment 04:50 - Be Honest with Yourself 08:12 - How the Success Industry Creates Burnout 09:58 - Success Through Fulfillment and Presence 15:39 - Personal Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs 17:44 - Shared Freedom and Self-Reflection 20:28 - Escaping the More Mindset 23:32 - Creating Challenges After Retirement 26:18 - Choosing Passion and Purpose 30:59 - Investor Insights: What Founders Must Know 32:54 - How to Lead with Purpose & Clarity 36:25 - Life Lessons from Losing Everything in a Fire 39:50 – Finding Freedom Within 10 Key Takeaways for Finding Freedom & Fulfillment Beyond Money 1. External success doesn't equal inner fulfillment. Financial wins feel good—but they rarely create the deep satisfaction we're truly seeking. 2. The success industry profits from your sense of not enough. Entrepreneurs are constantly sold the belief that the next achievement will finally make them happy. 3. Personal growth is the real engine of business growth. Your company can only expand to the level of your own self-awareness and development. 4. Fulfillment is available in the present moment. Freedom isn't something you achieve later - it's something you cultivate now. 5. Self-awareness creates genuine confidence. Seeing your strengths clearly - and owning your blind spots - accelerates your leadership. 6. Your limiting beliefs are not reality. Challenging your assumptions opens the door to new possibilities and breakthroughs. 7. Burnout undermines your whole ecosystem. Your team and your company feel the impact when you're depleted - renewal is non-negotiable. 8. Coachability and humility matter more than ego. Investors and partners look for leaders who are curious, adaptable, and willing to grow. 9. Loss can become a doorway to freedom. Releasing attachments to things reveals deeper sources of peace and inner security. 10. Lasting success is built on inner transformation. When you evolve on the inside, your relationships, leadership, and business naturally elevate. Favorite Quotes Your business can't grow if you don't. If I can build safety and security within me, without the house—that is liberating and powerful. What annoys us in another is a reflection of what's going on in us.

den gamla berlocken med fin gravyr, en gåva som gått i arv genom generationer.En: There, on a small silver tray, lay the necklace - the old locket with fine engraving, a gift passed down through generations.Sv: Linnea log av lättnad och tårar glittrade i hennes ögon.En: Linnea smiled in relief, and tears glittered in her eyes.Sv: "Tack", viskade hon och kunde knappt tro sin tur.En: "Thank you," she whispered, hardly believing her luck.Sv: Oskar gav henne en liten klapp på axeln.En: Oskar gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder.Sv: De återvände hem, halsbandet tryggt i Linneas hand.En: They returned home, the necklace safely in Linnea's hand.Sv: Familjen, nu församlade i vardagsrummet under den stora julgranen, tog emot dem med öppen famn och skratt.En: The family, now gathered in the living room under the large Christmas tree, welcomed them with open arms and laughter.Sv: Traditionerna kunde nu fortsätta, och Linnea kände en värme inom sig, inte bara av glädje över att ha återfått den klenod hon så kärleksfullt vårdade, utan också tack vare Oskars ovärderliga hjälp.En: The traditions could now continue, and Linnea felt a warmth within her, not just from the joy of having recovered the heirloom she cherished so dearly, but also thanks to Oskar's invaluable help.Sv: Genom allt hade Linnea lärt sig att lita på andras perspektiv.En: Through it all, Linnea had learned to trust others' perspectives.Sv: Hon insåg att Oskars blick för detaljer hade varit avgörande.En: She realized that Oskar's eye for details had been crucial.Sv: Det var en lärdom hon bar med sig när familjens julsånger fyllde rummet med harmoni och förväntan inför högtiden som kom.En: It was a lesson she carried with her as the family's Christmas songs filled the room with harmony and anticipation for the upcoming holiday.

A little over 400 years ago, a small group of Pilgrims made the hazardous journey across the Atlantic. After a challenging first year, in the fall of 1621, the survivors and the indigenous people shared three days of feasting, games, and exercises. After the first year, what remained was a small group of 50 people: 22 men, four married women, and 25 children and teenagers. Soon their celebration became an annual tradition for Americans. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln officially named the last Thursday of November a national holiday. Believe it or not, this history has some critical economic lessons for today.

Send us a textWhat a lovely story Ethan shares.  I think one thing that came out of this that really moved me was his being there and listening to a friend who had bulimia before he even knew how to help.  The big thing!  He listened even if he wasn't quite sure what to do.  He was present even if he didn't know what to do.  That speaks volumes to who he is.Ethan, himself, struggled with a concussion during COVID, and his pain and suffering were eventually released through his own experience with hypnotherapy, which inspired him to help others and become a Board Certified Hypnotherapist.What he describes as a "radical shift" in his life, he has been helping people implement changes.  He kindly speaks to the fact that everything has a reason in all aspects of life - be it addictions, emotions, need for comfort and security, fear of saying goodbye to the "security blanket" that is not serving you well.I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope you, as a listener, enjoy the message Ethan shares as well.  You can reach Ethan at the links below.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanreishypnotherapy/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethanreishypnotherapy/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ethanreishypnotherapyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ethanreishypnotherapyWebsite: https://ethanreishypnotherapy.com/Blog: https://ethanreishypnotherapy.com/blogOnline Store: https://ethanreishypnosis.gumroad.com/?_gl=1*1c4okwr*_ga*MjA1Mjc2MTk5MC4xNjgwODc3ODcw*_ga_6LJN6D94N6*MTY4MDg5NzUxOS4yLjEuMTY4MDg5ODU4Mi4wLjAuMA..BE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

This week we walked through the story of Joseph and uncovered something surprising: our biggest battle isn't unforgiveness toward others—it's the fear that we're still unforgiven. Joseph's response to his brothers shows what a life looks like when grace finally sinks in. What changes when you actually believe God isn't holding anything against you?

Message from Cam Potts on November 23, 2025

Legacy isn't built in moments of intensity, but through a lifetime of consistent Godly habits—just as Daniel demonstrated through years of faithful prayer. Pastor Wayne unpacks powerful lessons from Daniel's life, revealing how daily devotion and unwavering faith can impact generations. What daily spiritual habits are you cultivating in your life right now?"Your greatest legacy is your consistency, not your moments of intensity." - Pastor Wayne

Nehemiah doesn't end with “happily ever after.” But it serves as a warning to be aware of spiritual drift, and a invitation to draw near to Jesus, the only One who can bring lasting reform.

Contentment is one of the hardest lessons to learn—whether you’re a child circling toys in a catalog or an adult eyeing upgrades and “just one more thing” that promises satisfaction. Philippians 4:12 pulls us back to center, reminding us that peace doesn’t rise and fall with our circumstances. Paul learned to be steady in seasons of plenty and seasons of lack because his confidence was rooted in Christ, not conditions. When we anchor our joy in the unchanging character of God, we discover the quiet strength that carries us through both abundance and need. Highlights Contentment and happiness aren’t the same—one depends on circumstances, the other doesn’t. Paul learned contentment through every season: need, abundance, hunger, and fullness. Lasting peace is found in Christ, not in possessions, upgrades, or life improvements. Our hearts easily drift toward “more,” making contentment a daily, intentional choice. Philippians 4:13 reveals the true secret: Christ’s strength empowers us to be faithful in any situation. Even Paul, writing from captivity and suffering, modeled unwavering trust in God. Want and plenty both test our faith—but both can draw us closer to God when we rely on Him. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Faithful in Plenty, Faithful in Want By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” - Philippians 4:12 NIV “Give me! It’s my turn to look!” my youngest daughter screamed as she ripped the latest Christmas catalog out of my middle daughter’s hands. We’d received four toy books this week, the glossy pages filled with the latest gadgets, and my daughters were eager to circle the items they’d had their eyes on all year and add a few more things to their lists.“I think I will hold onto this,” I said as I tucked the book underneath my arm. “You girls already have so much, how could you possibly find anything else you want?” My daughters turned to each other in an unspoken agreement that their mother was, in fact, crazy. They could never have “enough,” there was always something more to bring them greater joy. It is my responsibility as a parent to teach my girls about contentment, gratitude for what they have, and the dangers of placing our happiness in things. Don’t worry, I did address the heart issue with my littles. However, at thirty years their senior, I still struggle with the same things. No, it’s not the lure of a new doll that promises to boost my morale; instead, it’s looking forward to a raise, taking a trip, or upgrading the kitchen appliances. How often do I struggle to be faithful in plenty and faithful in want? Sadly, it is still a struggle. Paul, in his letter to the Christians at Philippi, encourages them to be content and faithful to what God has called them to, in all circumstances. Notice that Paul, in our key verse, uses the word content and not happy. Often, we use those words interchangeably, and while they are similar, they have slightly different meanings. Happiness, a state of euphoria, is dependent on circumstances, while contentment is a state of peace or satisfaction independent of circumstances. Paul desired that his ancient readers and today’s believers understand that peace and joy aren’t rooted in our circumstances but in our relationship with Christ. Therefore, contentment and choosing to be faithful to God’s purpose are daily choices. Often, my feelings dictate my soul's contentment. Paul understood this struggle. The verse following Paul’s “secret,” to contentment, tells us how he was able to, even in the worst of circumstances, he can stay faithful ( remember, Paul is writing this letter from house arrest, and was beaten, flogged, and severely injured for the gospel). Philippians 4:13 tells us, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Paul kept his faith even in the most dire of circumstances because God was with him, strengthened him, and gave him peace and joy through the work of the Holy Spirit in Paul’s life. The key to lasting happiness and peace isn’t found in a temporary world but in an everlasting God. Paul understood how easily we get discouraged, allowing the disappointments of this world to overcome us, rob us of our peace, steal our joy, and undermine our faith. But in our weakest moments, we must cry out to God, asking Him to give us the strength to “count it all joy” (James 1:2-4). Once my girls had settled down, I brought out the magazine and shared with them that I, too, can get sidetracked and distracted by all the shiny things this world offers. It’s not wrong to want a new pair of shoes, or a new game, or even to have a toy chest overflowing with playthings. However, we must guard our hearts against the proclivity to find contentment in our circumstances, cash flow, or STUFF. The “not-so secret” to be faithful in plenty and little, is to place our trust in the One Who is the Provider of it all. Intersecting Faith & Life: Next time you are tempted to measure your happiness by the temporary, take a minute to meditate on our key verse. Commit the verse to memory, or write it down on a sticky note as a reminder that we can find contentment in Christ, not our circumstances.Further Reading:James 1:2-8 A Prayer to Enjoy Each Season Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Is It Lasting?

Send us a textWhat if lasting change isn't about willpower, but capacity? We sit down with holistic health counselor and behavior change expert Hadlee Garrison, MPH, to unpack how small, elastic habits and nervous system regulation outperform detoxes, rigid plans, and the all-or-nothing mindset. Hadley blends evidence-based behavior science with Ayurveda, food psychology, and circadian rhythm tools to help people rebuild energy, settle their bodies, and shift identity from perfectionist hustle to sustainable self-trust.We trace Hadlee's personal journey from knowing the research to living the extremes—crash dieting, overtraining, and spiraling into shame—before discovering why those strategies backfire. You'll learn how “everything counts” reframes progress, how to use pinnacle/middle/baseline goals so you never start over, and how removing moral labels from food, movement, and rest creates space for honest feedback. We also dive into somatic practices—like self-touch and daily self-massage—that calm the nervous system and make room for better choices, even on tough days.The conversation turns deeply human as we explore shame, self-forgiveness, and intuition. When shame is met with neutrality, your inner voice gets louder and kinder, making the gray zone not just tolerable but productive. From there, identity-based habits become automatic, freeing your mind for what matters: relationships, purpose, and joy. If you've tried hacks and stalled, this is a practical, compassionate roadmap for rebuilding capacity and letting small wins add up to a life that fits. Listen, try one tiny action today, and tell us what you'll count as a win.

Worksheet: Hope Building BlueprintWhat do you do when your hope tank is completely empty? When you're going through the motions of recovery but deep down don't believe things will ever really get better?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind tackle one of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of lasting recovery: hope. But this isn't a conversation about wishful thinking or waiting for motivation to magically strike. Instead, they dive into the practical science of hope and show you exactly how to cultivate it, even when you're starting from bare ground.Many people in recovery struggle with a toxic sense of hopelessness—that gray, heavy belief that the future will just repeat the past. It's the voice that whispers, "Lasting recovery is for other people, not me. I'm too broken. I've failed too many times." This feeling drains motivation and makes recovery feel like an exhausting chore rather than an opportunity for a better life.Here's the good news: positive psychology research shows that hope isn't just a feeling you have to wait for. It's actually a trainable cognitive skill you can build, just like going to the gym and strengthening a muscle.Duane and Eric break down Dr. C.R. Snyder's groundbreaking Hope Theory, which identifies two essential components of hope: pathway thinking (the belief that you can find routes to your goals—the "how to" part) and agency thinking (the belief in your own ability to use those paths—the "I can do this" part). When you feel hopeless, it's usually because you've lost one or both of these elements.The episode gets wonderfully practical with two concrete action steps you can start using today:Action Step #1: Set One Hopeful, Achievable Goal - Choose one small, realistic, and measurable goal you can work on this month (or even just today). Not something vague like "be happier" or "fix my life," but something specific like "spend 10 minutes outside three times this week" or "make one phone call to a supportive friend." Writing it down literally creates a pathway forward in your brain.Action Step #2: Visualize Your Success - Take 2-3 minutes to close your eyes and vividly imagine yourself achieving that goal. Don't just see it—feel it. Imagine the pride, relief, and satisfaction of crossing it off your list. This isn't just positive thinking fluff—it's neuroscience. Elite Olympic athletes use this exact technique to improve their performance, and research shows visualization can be as beneficial as additional physical training.The hosts explain that this process directly builds self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to succeed. Hope isn't just believing things can get better; it's taking small steps that create evidence they ARE getting better.Throughout the episode, Duane and Eric's compassionate approach shines through. They acknowledge that both pathway thinking and agency thinking can be incredibly difficult to access in recovery, but they offer genuine encouragement that these skills can be developed over time.To support your journey, they've created a free Hope Building Blueprint worksheet—a simple one-page guide to help you define your hopeful goal, brainstorm the pathway to get there, and list your motivation and visualization strategies.If you're struggling with hopelessness in recovery, this episode offers both the science and the practical tools to start building hope today.

Most people make their hardest decisions using distorted data, unchecked assumptions, and emotions that feel real but rarely reflect reality. In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why truth is the single most important variable in long-term success, and why avoiding it quietly destroys goals, relationships, and identity. You'll learn how inaccurate self-perception forms blind spots, how conditioning shapes your judgment without permission, and why honest feedback is a skill, not a feeling. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been avoiding.Learn more about:Join our Next Level University Monthly Masterclass, "The Top 5 Fundamentals of Business You Must Understand to Be Successful Long-Term."

You've identified the problem. You understand the instinct gap. Now it's time to fix it.In the first two episodes of this series, we talked about why financial content isn't creating change and introduced the conative mind, the missing piece that explains why people don't take action even when they know what to do. We showed you how your natural way of taking action as a financial professional is likely very different from your clients' instincts, and how that mismatch creates friction.Today, we're giving you the solution. A three-step framework you can apply right away to your content, your coaching, and your conversations.This is the Action-Ready Framework, and it's designed to bridge the instinct gap by flipping the starting point. Instead of coaching from your instincts, you match theirs. And when you do, everything shifts.Clients feel seen and understood. They take action confidently. They ask more questions and engage more deeply. They convert and stick around because they're getting real results.In this episode, we walk through each step of the framework with practical examples you can use immediately. We show you what happens when your coaching matches your clients' natural way of taking action. And we bring it all back to what this series has been about from the start: buy-in.Because the best strategy isn't the one that looks best on paper. It's the one your client will stick with because they believe in it. Buy-in is the real metric of success.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupRegister for How to Create Buy-In: Designing Financial Experiences That StickKey Takeaways:Start with "just enough to start" and layer in complexity. Instead of giving clients everything they need to know upfront, give them the most relevant information only and build in detail slowly as they need it.Focus on phases or outcomes, not every step. Clients need to see where they're headed, but they don't need every micro-task spelled out in advance. Leave room for feedback, flexibility, and iteration. Frame your guidance as one possible starting point and openly invite clients to modify it to fit their reality. Something not working isn't a mistake, it's valuable input.Your new motto is "less, simpler, sooner." Where your instinct might be to give more detail, more structure, more preparation, what actually gets most people moving is less, simpler, sooner.When clients feel seen and understood, they take action confidently. Honoring their instincts doesn't diminish your expertise—it amplifies it.Buy-in is the real metric of success. The more bought in someone is, the more creative they are when things get tough, the faster they take action, and the longer they stick with it.The best strategy is the one that creates the most buy-in for the client. Financial calculators don't account for buy-in, but buy-in is what determines whether clients actually execute the plan.

Key Takeaways:Supporters engage for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, each bringing unique value. Instead of expecting long-term loyalty from everyone, recognize the natural ebb and flow. Gratitude for every contribution keeps the relationship healthy and grounded.Tourists, seasonal residents, and townies each play a meaningful role in the ecosystem. One-time donors bring energy, visibility, and new connections when they matter most. Long-term supporters reveal themselves through aligned values and deeper engagement.Lasting relationships grow through purpose, connection, and involvement beyond giving. Inviting donors into stories, conversations, or behind-the-scenes roles builds ownership. When people feel seen and included, loyalty naturally strengthens and expands.Not every donor will stay forever, and that is part of a healthy pipeline. Letting go with appreciation frees energy to invest in aligned relationships. Focusing on shared values ensures every interaction remains meaningful and mutual. “Our job is to give them meaningful experience while they're with us and release them with gratitude when they're ready to go.” “Every donor plays a role in your ecosystem. You know, tourists bring energy and visibility, townies bring depth and sustainability, and there's space in between them, where just the relationships involved.” “Relationship first, money will follow that. Build belonging, not just giving.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things—mindset work, journaling, tapping, meditating, planning—but something still feels off, this episode explains why. It's not because you're stuck. It's because your subconscious doesn't yet recognize the version of you you're stepping into. Until you shift your identity, the nervous system won't fully allow lasting change. In this episode, Penny reveals what is happening underneath the surface of stalled progress and the deeper pattern that keeps you circling the same outcomes. You'll learn why you feel internal resistance, why your efforts feel mismatched with your results, and how to shift your identity so change becomes natural instead of forced.   What You'll Learn About Shifting Your Identity 1. Why change triggers subconscious resistance Your nervous system prioritizes familiarity over goals. This explains why momentum collapses even when you know what you want. 2. Why mindset work eventually plateaus Mindset tools can help, but they can only layer new thoughts on top of old identity-level programming. 3. What your "identity blueprint" is and how it forms Penny explains how your subconscious stores identity, how it shapes perception, and why behavior can't override it. 4. How the Identity Matrix method shifts your identity One recalibration can change the way you think, feel, respond, and make decisions. 5. Why techniques, scripts, and strategies don't create transformation Most hypnosis and coaching programs focus on tools rather than the internal structure that actually creates change. 6. How identity creates quantum leaps Big breakthroughs happen when your subconscious finally agrees with the identity you're stepping into. 7. Client examples of identity-level shifts Hear how a client tripled her revenue, dissolved imposter syndrome, and expanded her leadership capacity after shifting identity.   Why Shifting Your Identity Matters When you shift your identity, you change: - How you interpret stress - How your nervous system responds - What your brain filters in and out - The opportunities you notice - The boundaries you hold - The habits you naturally embody - The level of ease you experience Transformation becomes a process of alignment rather than effort. You stop forcing outcomes and start becoming the person who naturally creates them. Shifting your identity isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming congruent with who you already are underneath old conditioning. Episode Highlights - How the reticular activating system actually works - Why identity shifts make habits and follow-through feel natural - What subconscious safety has to do with goal achievement - Why emotional patterns repeat - Why willpower cannot create a new life - How identity-level shifts create long-term results - Why techniques never outperform identity work   If You Want to Shift Your Identity Catalyst Recalibrated begins December 1st.
