Takeaways – A podcast about learning from the wisdom of others
Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. Kevin Higgins, All Things Brokerage Kevin Higgins, SIOR is a top producer's top producer! Weeks before we recorded this episode he and his business partner became the first Vice Chairmans with CBRE Las Vegas. That is the highest title a broker can receive at CBRE worldwide based on production and experience. Kevin began his career in 1985 with Coldwell Banker before opening the first Voit Real Estate office in 2002. Kevin was at Voit for 12 years, became the Executive Vice President, and was the number one producer for 11 out of those 12 years. Kevin moved to CBRE and became the number one producer in all of CBRE Las Vegas and a top 10 producer in all of CBRE nationwide. Kevin has won numerous awards, and his credentials are stacked, but his credentials only tell us part of the story of who Kevin is. You Get Out What You Put In Originally from Chicago, Kevin is the 5th of 10 children. His parents moved out west to chase the warm weather. Kevin credits his parents as the most influential factor in his success. “My parents raised 10 kids, and everyone had to do their part. Everyone had a job at home, and everyone had a responsibility.” Since he was eleven, Kevin had a job. He learned that it's up to you to make your world. Don't wait for someone else to make it for you. Despite his parents' plans, Kevin didn't become a doctor or FBI agent. However, becoming a high achiever was always a part of his foundation. SIOR & NAIOP SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office Realtors) is a place where brokers come together to have an audience with the developers, contractors, lenders, etc., in commercial real estate. Kevin served as the chapter president in 2004 and 2009, and his team has won the coveted Southern Nevada Industrial Broker or Brokerage Team of the Year 13 times and was the Southern Nevada Top Producer Industrial Specialist from 2017 through 2022. In fact, my first time meeting Kevin was at an SIOR lunch. But that isn't the only connection we have. Kevin served as the NAIOP Southern Nevada President in 2003. I served as Chapter President in 2022. Getting to know the larger developers, architects, and engineers is important in Kevin's opinion. NAIOP Southern Nevada helped facilitate those connections. As Kevin would put it, “the relationship… the more connectivity we have within our industry, the better we are as brokers.” Takeaways From This Episode Other Key Takeaways in this episode include: Don't expect success to be given to you just because you showed up – it takes more than that. Be the best you can – no sense in doing something half baked. In the commercial real estate world, lone wolf brokers have become teams and generalists have become specialists.

The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
The life you want may not be blocked by a lack of knowledge. It may be waiting for your nervous system to feel safe enough to receive it.In this expansive conversation, Elaine welcomes Sam Kukathas, creator of Neuro-Resonance Optimisation™ and founder of Soul Purpose Leaders, to explore how sound, consciousness, words, and nervous system coherence can help release inherited patterns and reconnect you with the wholeness of who you truly are. Sam shares the deeply personal turning point that moved him from more than two decades in philosophy and legal scholarship into energy work, sound transmission, and his soul's mission.You'll discover why even highly successful people can remain constrained by unintegrated fear, how the body reveals what is ready to be witnessed, and a simple process for sensing your capacity to receive what you intend to create. This episode invites you to stop treating healing as another task to complete and begin experiencing it as a practice of presence, self-trust, and continual recalibration.Topics Covered0:00 When the nervous system carries the weight of the past2:45 Why sound and resonance can shift your experience6:42 Intention: Using focused sound to support coherence8:19 From grief and rock bottom to a new life mission13:04 Abundance as freedom and the wholeness of who you are15:48 What visionary leaders carry beneath success17:44 How sound, words, and energetic transmission work together20:25 Why the right word can change what you receive24:40 Alignment may change the goal you thought you wanted29:27 A practical process for revealing what is holding you back33:40 Resonance OS and the power of conscious co-creation38:37 Freedom as a practice of continual remembranceKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)Your nervous system may be protecting an earlier version of you even when your present life is safe and successful.Abundance is more than money; it is freedom, wholeness, and connection with the Divine intelligence within you.The body, recurring thoughts, and emotionally charged words can reveal what is asking to be witnessed and integrated.Alignment can dissolve the need to strive, prove, or pursue a goal that no longer reflects your soul's direction.Resonance is not a destination. It is a practice of returning to remembrance and receiving at deeper levels.Step-by-Step Process SharedSam's Resonance and Self-Witnessing PracticeName what you want to create → Connect with the desire or vision that wants to emerge.Sense your capacity to receive it → Notice whether your whole system feels like a yes or whether something pulls back.Locate the resistance → Feel where it appears in the body or identify the recurring thoughts, fears, and concerns.Write and speak the words → Witness the pattern and listen for emotional charge or language that feels inherited or out of character.Meet the part with presence → Ask what this part wanted to experience or did not receive, then welcome the inner conversation without judgment.Listen closely to the episode for Sam's lived examples and his reminder to let each step be its own gift rather than another item on a to-do list.Questions Answered in This EpisodeCould unresolved emotional patterns be limiting your ability to receive what you consciously desire?What turned Sam's path from philosophy and legal scholarship toward healing through sound and resonance?How can you identify the fears, thoughts, or bodily tension connected to a vision you want to create?How does Sam define abundance, freedom, and connection with the wholeness of who we are?What simple practice can help you witness yourself without judgment and rebuild trust with your nervous system?Pull Quotes (1–3)“Abundance is connecting with the wholeness of who we are and allowing infinite intelligence to wake up to itself.”“Self-love is being willing to be present for yourself so your nervous system can trust you again.”“The greatest gift you could give is to experience who you truly are for yourself.”Free Gift Experience Resonance OS: Visit ResonanceOS.io to experience a free transmission and begin dissolving what has been keeping you from embodying the abundance you already know is yours.Share what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.https://resonanceos.iohttps://www.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click Share My Thoughts and complete the form to receive your guide automatically.Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeResonance OS — Free transmission and conscious technology platform: https://resonanceos.ioSoul Purpose Leaders — Sam's work with visionary founders, investors, and changemakers: https://soulpurposeleaders.com/Neuro-Resonance Optimisation™ — Sam's sound-based approach to nervous system and cellular coherence.The Abundance Journey episode video: https://youtu.be/yp9GtepyGGoThe Abundance Journey podcast episode: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/559f7a98-7c90-4420-91d8-6ff6c95f03cb/About the GuestSam Kukathas is the creator of Neuro-Resonance Optimisation™ (NRO) and the founder of Soul Purpose Leaders. He works privately with a small number of visionary founders, investors, and changemakers, supporting them to collapse the time between their vision and its real-world embodiment. Using his voice, Sam channels specific sound frequencies intended to support nervous system and cellular-level coherence.After more than 20 years as a philosopher and legal scholar, a personal rock bottom in 2017 led Sam through personal development, energy healing, and a guided experience that clarified his mission.

The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
The guidance you've been searching for may have been with you all along. The real challenge is learning how to recognize Divine wisdom beneath fear, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right.In this joyful conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes author, spiritual instructor, angel communicator, and modern mystic Ann Albers to explore the powerful connection between self-love and Divine guidance. Ann shares the extraordinary path that took her from engineering to more than 30 years of communicating with angels, along with the simple principle she uses to evaluate guidance: does it genuinely resonate?You'll discover why self-love is not about being positive all the time, how self-acceptance helps you naturally rise into greater alignment, and why relaxing your mental grip makes it easier to receive the next inspired impulse. Ann also shares a practical way to tune into the vibration of love before asking for guidance, plus remarkable stories about manifestation, trust, grief, joy, and letting The Divine handle the HOW.Topics Covered (add timestamps if available)• 0:00 How do you know whether you're receiving Divine guidance or listening to fear?• 2:40 Connecting with The Divine through breath, Intention, and shared energy• 8:02 From engineer to angel communicator: Ann's unexpected spiritual path• 11:34 The simplest test for guidance: Does it resonate?• 13:28 Why Ann defines abundance as happiness• 16:52 Why “you cannot listen when you're talking” applies to your busy mind• 18:46 Intention, Grateful Curiosity, and Celebrating in Advance• 19:57 Ann's remarkable $44,152 manifestation story• 22:11 Why we make Divine co-creation harder than it needs to be• 24:41 Self-acceptance as the foundation of self-love• 26:39 What self-love really means when you're sad, angry, grieving, or struggling• 30:33 Trusting that life can ultimately work on your behalf• 31:27 Why Divine guidance arrives “now, now, now” instead of as a five-year plan• 34:35 Two practical steps to receive clearer guidance• 37:16 Ann's free weekly Messages from Ann & the Angels• 39:53 Ann's simplest invitation: Find something you love and do it• 42:25 Playfully trusting The Divine in ordinary life• 46:45 The incomprehensible amount of love available to youYouTube tip: These timestamps can double as Chapters.Key Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)• You are the ultimate authority in your own life. Even spiritual guidance should resonate, feel inspiring, or feel naturally right to you.• Self-love begins with self-acceptance. You do not have to deny sadness, anger, grief, or frustration in order to be spiritual or receive guidance.• When you have done what you know to do, stop mentally spinning and “delegate up.” A relaxed mind has more room to receive a new thought, signal, or impulse.• Love, joy, appreciation, and kindness help tune you to the frequency on which Divine guidance is easier to perceive.• Guidance is often immediate and organic. The next right step may seem completely unrelated to the solution your mind is trying to manufacture.• Grateful Curiosity turns your relationship with The Divine into a playful partnership instead of a problem-solving struggle.• There is more love and support available to you than you can comprehend — and the more you receive, the more there is to receive.Step-by-Step Process SharedAnn's “Get in the Vibration of Love” Guidance Practice1. Accept yourself exactly where you are. → Acknowledge what you are feeling without judgment. Self-acceptance is already an act of love.2. Temporarily set the problem aside. → Stop trying to force the answer so your mind has room to listen.3. Think of someone or something you genuinely love or appreciate. → Choose anything that naturally opens your heart.4. Feel the love in your body. → Relive why you love that person, animal, memory, experience, or even a favorite treat.5. Let go of the object and stay with the feeling. → Rest in the vibration of love itself.6. Ask your question and notice what comes first. → Trust the first feeling, thought, image, or inner impulse that arises.Listen to the episode for Ann's lived examples of using these principles with manifestation, grief, decisions, money, unexpected problems, and everyday spiritual guidance.Questions Answered in This Episode• How can I tell the difference between fear, mental noise, and genuine Divine guidance?• What caused Ann Albers to leave engineering and begin communicating with angels professionally?• What does abundance mean when you begin with spiritual alignment instead of external circumstances?• Why is self-acceptance so important when I want my outer life to change?• How can I hear guidance more clearly when I'm worried, grieving, angry, or overwhelmed?• Why does trying harder sometimes make spiritual guidance harder to receive?• What can I do right now to tune into the vibration of love before asking for direction?• How can I make my relationship with The Divine more playful, trusting, and practical?Pull Quotes“You're the authority in your own life.” — Ann Albers“Self-love is truly accepting that you're a Divine being, no matter what's going on at the surface.” — Ann Albers“Get in the vibration of love first.” — Ann AlbersFree GiftFree weekly newsletter from Ann & the Angels — Messages from Ann & the Angels offers inspiration, channeled angelic wisdom, personal stories, and practical tips to help you deepen your connection with spirit and apply spiritual principles in everyday life.• https://www.visionsofheaven.comShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.https://www.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click on the Share My Thoughts button.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin M. Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Gene Zannetti talks with Purdue wrestler Joey Blaze about the mindset shift from freshman year, where he put unneeded pressure on himself as a higher-ranking recruit, to reframing wrestling as something he gets to do rather than has to do, staying level-headed after big wins to avoid the high that leads to the very next loss, how shifting his match evaluation from win or lose to did I do the right things keeps him from going too high or too low, what he says to reset mid-match when things go wrong, and his advice to young wrestlers that being a good person in all areas of life takes the stress off wrestling and lets you actually enjoy it.Sponsored by Young LeeTimestamps:3:08 - Freshman year overthought things as a higher-ranking recruit4:29 - Shifted to gratitude: I get to do this, not I have to do this6:09 - Learned to stay level-headed after big wins to avoid the next low7:52 - Evaluates matches on did I do the right things, not win or lose9:00 - Pre-match routine: remind yourself how awesome this is, then go through the checklist11:37 - Mid-match reset: if he can score seven points fast, so can I14:01 - Marcus as the ultra-competitor big brother — healthy rivalry that fueled both of them22:11 - Advice to young wrestlers: be a good human and wrestling takes care of itself
What happens when you already know so much about yourself… but you're still living inside the same patterns?You've done therapy. Read the books. Learned your Human Design. You understand your childhood wounds, your limiting beliefs, your attachment style. You know you need better boundaries, more self-trust, less overthinking, more capacity to receive.And yet somehow, you keep getting pulled back into the same ways of being.In this episode, I'm breaking down the piece I think so much of personal development misses: the difference between knowing about yourself and actually living what you know.We'll talk about why so many of the seemingly separate things you're working on may actually be symptoms of the same underlying pattern—overfunctioning—and why awareness of that pattern is only the beginning.I'm also sharing the methodology I use with my clients to turn insight into actual change: small real-life experiments, gathering new evidence, expanding nervous system capacity, and slowly making a different way of living feel safe enough to become your new normal.Because at some point, you have to stop reading the manual and get in the car (this will make more sense when you listen

The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
What if the greatest challenge of artificial intelligence isn't artificial intelligence at all—but forgetting what makes us deeply, beautifully human?We have more access to information and technology than ever before, yet so many people feel lonely, anxious, disconnected, and unseen. In this powerful solo episode, Elaine Starling explores why the connection we're longing for isn't created by exchanging more information. It begins by becoming more present, intentional, compassionate, and available to one another.Drawing on neuroscience, the ACE Study, HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences), oxytocin, and co-regulation, Elaine reveals why caring relationships can influence our nervous systems, support healing, and strengthen our capacity to thrive.She also shares the deeper purpose behind the practice that begins every episode of The Abundance Journey: The Abundance Resonance—an intentional practice of aligning our breath, awareness, Intention, and partnership with The Divine to establish a shared vibration of abundance before we engage in conversation.Because the conversation is not the transformation. The transformation begins the moment we intentionally become present together.You'll discover how your presence can become one of the greatest gifts you offer another person—and how every interaction can become an opportunity to express love, compassion, connection, and abundance.Topics CoveredNote: Add final timestamps from the edited episode for YouTube Chapters.Why more information isn't solving our hunger for connectionWhat neuroscience reveals about caring relationships and healingACE vs. HOPE: Why adversity doesn't have to determine your futureHow oxytocin, safety, belonging, and connection affect the nervous systemWhat co-regulation teaches us about the energy we bring into a roomWhy technology connects information—but people connect heartsThe question that can transform your relationship with yourselfHow The Abundance Resonance became part of The Abundance JourneyWhy Elaine begins every episode with breath, Intention, and 78 seconds of silenceHow The Abundance Resonance reflects the Five Powers of AbundanceWhy who you choose to BE matters more than what you choose to sayHow one conscious interaction can ripple through families, communities, and consciousnessKey Takeaways — Skimmable Wins
Sleep Anxiety and OCD: How Carly Broke the Hypnic Jerk Loop and Learned to Trust Her Body AgainIf bedtime fills you with dread, if you've started dreading the sunset, or if hypnic jerks have turned falling asleep into a nightly battle, this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Carly, a member of the Restored Minds community, to talk honestly about what it's like to live inside a sleep anxiety loop, and what actually got her out of it.Carly walks through her own descent into relentless hypnic jerks, the compulsions she didn't even realize were compulsions (bedtime routines built on fear, checking the clock, seeking reassurance from her husband), and the belief that was quietly running the whole show: that a bad night of sleep meant a ruined day. This isn't a sleep hygiene episode. It's a conversation about fear, control, and what it actually means to trust your body to do what it already knows how to do.
What if every door that ever opened for you started with a message you almost didn't send? In this episode, Susanne Sandler, SVP and GM of Fintech at Mews, a $2.5 billion global hotel technology company, shares how a bold application as a college sophomore led her into the office of the CFO of Merrill Lynch, and how a cold message to a keynote speaker years later led to six years working alongside the future CEO of Booking Holdings. Susanne runs the fintech division at Mews, which accounts for 75% of company revenue. But the principles that drive how she leads trace back to two men who saw her potential before she did, and to one simple belief: you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. [00:03:48] What She Does and Who She Serves SVP and GM of Fintech at Mews, a $2.5 billion global vertical SaaS company Mews calls itself the operating system for modern hotels Runs the fintech business, which is about 75% of company revenue [00:04:30] Who Mews Serves Serves everything from small mom and pop hotels to large global chains Partnerships with Best Western, Choice, and the Asian American Hotel Owners Association AHOA members make up about 60% of US hotels [00:05:30] What Inspires Her Travel is where people have their most memorable experiences Most people name a trip when asked about their best moments of the year Mews removes the manual work so hotels can focus on the guest experience [00:06:48] How She Got Here Started her career in financial services and investing in financial companies Won her undergraduate business plan competition and launched a tech startup in New York The last 12 to 13 years have been focused on travel tech and fintech Says she feels lucky every day doing work that combines both passions [00:08:17] Client Impact: The Multi-Currency Win Launched a product letting hotels offer FX services to guests Guests can lock in their price in their own currency Hotels now earn markup revenue that previously went to banks and card networks Some hotels cover the full cost of all their Mews services from this product alone [00:10:52] AI at Mews: Thoughtful, Not Trendy Building a semantic data layer combining guest, property, and payments data The goal is better insights and experiences, not just cutting headcount Early results from the approach have been incredible [00:12:11] The Vision for Fintech at Mews Wants to build a holistic financial suite for hotels Expanding beyond payments into accounts, loans, and supplier payments Everything is deeply embedded and connected to hotel data [00:13:27] Why Hospitality Is Underserved Hotels have seasonal cash flow that banks struggle to understand Mews holds all bookings data plus a revenue management system That gives a full forward-looking picture of the business Underwriting becomes far easier than a bank reading old financial statements [00:15:08] The First Relationship That Changed Everything Saw an internship posting at NYU Stern for the CFO of Merrill Lynch Assumed it couldn't be the real CFO; applied anyway Walked in thinking worst case she meets someone impressive, best case she gets the job A short-term role became over two years with growing hours and responsibility [00:17:54] What She Learned from Him Finding people who believe in you and see your potential is everything Learned resilience by working under constant high-pressure stakes He was precise and held her fully accountable for her numbers People still compliment her composure; she credits that early training [00:20:24] Treating Every Human with Respect Watched him treat the person cleaning his office the same as a head of state He did it because it was right, not for gain That taught her the kind of person she wanted to become as she grew senior [00:21:31] How He Set Her Up After College He opened doors to meetings with teams across Merrill Lynch She still had to prove herself and work the grueling hours Landed a role investing in equity, debt, and early fintech companies That first role set the tone for the next 20 years [00:25:02] What Makes Mentorship Actually Work Both sides have to invest in the relationship Assigned mentorships often fail; organic ones tend to succeed Nobody owes you anything; it is all give and take [00:26:13] The Second Relationship: Glenn Fogel Saw Glenn deliver a keynote at a conference in 2013 and was blown away He told the story of rebuilding Priceline after the dot-com crash The company is now Booking Holdings with a $135 billion market cap [00:28:18] The Cold Message That Changed Her Career Reached out just to tell him the presentation was incredible He responded, they talked, and he ended up hiring her She worked with him and his team for over six years [00:29:08] What She Learned from Glenn Got a front row seat as he became CEO of Booking Holdings in 2017 Was handed some of the most critical projects for the business Learned what leadership looks like at the highest level Left only because she had learned enough to run a company at IAC [00:31:26] You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take For every story that worked, there are hundreds that went nowhere She repeats the Gretzky line whenever imposter syndrome shows up There is almost no downside to taking the shot [00:33:10] Why Glenn Still Makes Time Even as a global CEO, he finds time for people who reach out He has never become overconfident or self-important He continues supporting people who did right by him Relationships become exponentially more valuable as both people grow KEY QUOTES "Finding those people who believe in you and see potential in you, I would say, is so important." - Susanne Sandler "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I say that to myself a lot when I'm like, well, what's the point?" - Susanne Sandler "That's how we all give back, and that's how we all create this great karma in the world and support each other." - Susanne Sandler CONNECT WITH SUSANNE SANDLER Website: https://www.mews.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susannegreenfield Thanks for tuning in!

The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
Modern life tells us that the answer to overwhelm is greater efficiency, better systems, and more effort. Yet the deeper solution may be the opposite: returning to the present moment so we can respond with clarity rather than being swept away by constant motion.In this episode, Elaine Starling speaks with Chris Bath, author of A to Zen, about bridging high achievement with inner peace. Drawing on a physics education at Oxford, a successful career in finance and healthcare leadership, and more than two decades of yoga and mindfulness practice, Chris translates timeless spiritual principles into 26 memorable concepts, practical exercises, and affirmations for everyday life.You will discover how to balance gratitude for the past and trust in the future while living fully now, why abundance is a lens of possibility rather than a shortcut to material gain, and how small practices involving breath, attention, surrender, kindness, and choice can reconnect you with your agency, wisdom, and authentic self.Topics Covered0:00 Why doing more cannot solve the exhaustion created by constant doing3:05 The Abundance Resonance: breath, Intention, and 78 seconds of energetic alignment8:44 Why Chris created A to Zen as a bridge between timeless wisdom and a busy modern life12:02 How noticing your breath flips the switch from mental pressure to embodied presence13:56 A grounded definition of abundance based on possibility, optimism, hope, and shared potential17:01 The state of Zen: remaining open and engaged without grasping, comparison, or judgment19:13 Why moving out of alignment is part of spiritual growth—not evidence that you have failed22:02 Agency, attention, and balancing the past, present, and future25:54 The internal commitment that helped Chris move from corporate leadership into soul expression27:39 How simple practices and affirmations make profound spiritual concepts tangible31:44 Chris's free gift: the “A is for Abundance” chapter from A to ZenKey Takeaways
Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández joins Rio Ferdinand to relive one of football's most remarkable careers, opening up on the dressing rooms that shaped him and the biggest names he played alongside.You'll see Chicharito like never before as he passionately explains why Cristiano Ronaldo was "never arrogant", revealing what the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was really like behind closed doors at Real Madrid and why the Portuguese icon's relentless mentality is so often misunderstood.The former United favourite also breaks down the movement that made him one of Europe's deadliest penalty-box strikers, analysing the famous Bolton goal that Rio still calls one of the greatest examples of striker movement he's ever seen. He explains why Erling Haaland can become an even more complete forward, compares Harry Kane to Karim Benzema and names the current striker he'd most like to play alongside.There's also a fascinating insight into Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, why adapting to the club's culture mattered more than proving yourself immediately, the standards set by Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney, plus why Michael Carrick deserves far more credit for restoring Manchester United's identity.Chicharito also reflects on life at Real Madrid alongside Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Luka Modrić and Sergio Ramos, discusses why Gareth Bale remains one of football's most underrated superstars and reveals the five-a-side team he'd pick from the incredible players he shared a dressing room with.00:00 - Introduction & Cristiano Ronaldo's Mentality01:38 - Chicharito on His Playing Style & Movement02:32 - Adapting to Man Utd alongside Rooney, Giggs & Nani04:39 - Is Movement Instinctive or Learned?06:22 - Dissecting the Iconic Goal vs. Bolton (Movement Analysis)10:23 - Reading Teammate Body Language & Quick Attacks12:59 - Advice for New Transfers Entering Big Clubs15:43 - Manchester United Standards & Earning Respect18:40 - Family Legacy & Tough Love from His Father20:00 - Dressing Room Culture & Learning from Paul Scholes24:15 - Winning Player of the Year in His Debut Season26:08 - The Post-Ferguson Shift & Leaving Old Trafford30:32 - Manchester United vs. Real Madrid: Cultural Differences34:58 - What Cristiano Ronaldo Was Really Like Behind the Scenes40:52 - Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema & The Modern #949:54 - Picking His Ultimate Strike Partner & 5-a-Side Team#Chicharito #RioFerdinand #CristianoRonaldo #ManUtd #RealMadrid #MUFC #HalaMadrid #PremierLeague #ChampionsLeague #Ronaldo #CR7 #ErlingHaaland #HarryKane #KarimBenzema #GarethBale #LukaModric #PaulScholes #WayneRooney #MichaelCarrick #StrikerMovement #FootballAnalysis #StrikerMindset #Goalscorers #FootballTactics #FootballDressingRoom #5aSide #SirAlexFerguson #FootballPodcast #FootballInterview #ManUtdLegends #RealMadridCF #WomensFootball #FarahReacts #FarahMeets #PodcastHighlightSubscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WERio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.comRio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeetsRio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficialRio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Kevin and Alan explore how small errors in thinking can create major setbacks in your health, relationships, goals, and personal growth. They break down why effort without clear measurement often leads to frustration, why incomplete information produces incomplete results, and how learned helplessness can convince you to stop trying before you have found the right approach. You will also hear why strong goal setting, self-awareness, and honest feedback are essential for building long-term consistency. Progress is not about trying harder at the same strategy. It is about identifying the missing variable, improving your decision-making, and developing the skills your next level requires. Do not leave with a better excuse.

Do you ever feel guilty no matter what you choose? You're at work thinking you should be home. You're home thinking about work. You grow your firm, but somehow the success doesn't feel the way you expected it would. Attorney Jennifer Felten knows that feeling well. When Jennifer first joined Atticus, her law firm was struggling. Years later, she has a team of nearly 30 people and has grown her revenue by more than 500%. But one of the biggest breakthroughs she experienced wasn't about marketing, hiring, or systems. It was realizing how much guilt was driving the decisions she made every day. In this conversation, Jennifer and Steve Riley talk about the expectations we put on ourselves, why guilt can quietly limit both your life and your business, and how learning to pause instead of automatically saying "yes" changed the way Jennifer leads her firm. If you've ever ended the day wondering why you still feel behind, even though you've accomplished a lot, this episode will probably feel familiar. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: Why guilt follows so many attorneys, at work and at home How guilt can quietly hold back your firm's growth A different way to think about your calendar and your priorities Why "no" is sometimes the best answer for you and your clients One simple question to ask before saying "yes" ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Hey friend — if you're planning a pool day and want to bring something better than boxed rosé (but still chill and easy), this episode's for you. We're big fans of low-drama, high-fun batched drinks: think margaritas and mojitos as the MVPs. They're simple to scale, super tweakable, and they won't leave you with a sad, flat, sugary mess after a few hours in the sun. Quick PSA: don't bring Long Island iced tea to the heat. Also, please don't do blue motherfuckers. Learned that the hard way — way too much alcohol with way too much artificial sugar and a color that makes you question life choices. If you're making something for a group, pick something that stays pleasant in a pitcher. Real talk on batched cocktails: start simple. Margaritas are the perfect base — tequila, lime, and a touch of agave. Mojitos are great too, just keep the soda separate so it stays fizzy when you serve. For fruit-forward sweetness, use ripe fruit (watermelon, strawberries, peaches) and muddle it in the pitcher for natural flavor instead of dumping in extra sugar. Sugar + sun = rough morning, so let the fruit do the work. Want to get fancy? Try spicy margaritas with jalapeño, or play with citrus like blood orange or a lemon-lime-orange blend. If you want bubbles, batch the base and top each poured drink with Prosecco or soda — don't pre-mix the fizz. Also, remember large-batch ratios sometimes need a little tweaking from your single-drink recipe, so taste and adjust before you serve. Another favorite hack: make a few different lemonades (spicy watermelon lemonade, triple-citrus lemonade, ginger-peach lemonade) and let folks pick their liquor — rum, vodka, tequila, gin — so people can control strength and sweetness. It's great for guests who don't drink much; they still get a delicious refresher without the buzz. Bottom line: keep it fresh, keep it simple, and don't over-sweeten. If you try one of these batched ideas (or invent your own twist), tell us how it went — we love hearing your variations. Hit us up at truecrimesagainstwine@gmail.com or on Instagram.

Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved. Pooling Resources for Wealth Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs. Amazon DSP Opportunity Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations. Construction Business Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Abundance Journey: Accelerating Revenue With An Abundance Mindset
What if aging gracefully has nothing to do with looking younger—and everything to do with learning how to hold more love? In this deeply moving solo episode, Elaine Starling challenges one of society's biggest myths about aging and reveals why our later years are often our greatest opportunity for spiritual expansion.Drawing on neuroscience, aging research, and a touching story about a friend walking beside his wife during the final chapter of her earthly journey, Elaine explores how life's transitions expand our capacity for wisdom, compassion, and Divine partnership. Instead of seeing emotional intensity as weakness, she invites us to recognize it as evidence that our hearts are growing strong enough to hold life's deepest experiences.You'll discover why remaining connected to yourself, your breath, and The Divine may be the greatest gift you can offer both yourself and those you love—and why your life experience has never been more valuable than it is today.Topics Covered0:00 What aging gracefully really means8:40 The surprising research on emotional wisdom as we age14:30 Why emotional overwhelm is often emotional significance20:15 The story of Michael: love, grief, and misunderstanding29:30 Learning to witness instead of trying to fix35:45 How to lovingly hold yourself through uncertainty41:15 Notice Your Breath: a simple practice to regulate your nervous system48:00 Why human wisdom is becoming more valuable in the age of AI54:30 Your greatest contribution may be your presenceKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)
What if the smartest way to fix teacher retirement is not patching the broken 403(b) machine, but quietly building an exit ramp to something better? In this bonus conversation, Bill, Jackie, and Dan Otter keep pulling the thread on the teacher-retirement mess and land on a surprisingly practical answer: the 457(b) may be the cleaner, simpler, more flexible plan that schools should be leaning into. Dan also highlights the new audio series Learned by Being Burned, Carl Fisch's 50-state teacher-retirement books, and several states that are getting it right. They end with a reminder that fixing a broken system starts with people who care enough to push back. This episode covers: Why auto-enrollment and employer matches are still rare in most teacher 403(b) plans How multi-vendor 403(b)s make even simple plan improvements harder than they should be The difference between individual and group 403(b) contracts, and why that matters How state-run 457 plans can simplify choices and lower costs for educators The role of unions, districts, and state policy in either helping or hurting teachers Real examples of school districts and states that are getting retirement plans right How teachers can organize coworkers, use advocacy tools, and pressure districts or states to improve plans . === SUPPORT THE SHOW ===

What if the most dangerous thing in a teacher's retirement plan isn't market volatility, it's the nice guy with free sandwiches and a terrible annuity contract? Jackie and Bill are joined by Dan Otter and Scott Dauenhauer of 403bwise, the duo who have spent decades exposing how badly K-12 educators get treated in the 403(b) world. What starts as a conversation about confusing vendor lists and a messy system, quickly turns into something bigger. This episode covers Why the K-12 403(b) system is fundamentally broken for many educators How Dan and Scott came together through the early 403bwise movement Why sales reps were able to roam campuses and sell high-cost products to teachers How 403(b)s became a multi-vendor mess while 401(k)s evolved under stronger fiduciary oversight Why newer teacher pension tiers are weaker and make supplemental retirement saving more important How bad 403(b) vendors can cost teachers hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career Why the 457(b) is increasingly the better option for many educators How state-run 457(b) plans can offer lower fees, simpler choices, and more retirement flexibility How teachers and school employees can advocate for better plans in their own districts . === SUPPORT THE SHOW ===
What happens when your team stops trying - not because they can't, but because they've decided it won't matter anyway? Alex Dorr, CEO and host of the Reality-Based Leadership Podcast, unpacks the psychological phenomenon behind stalled accountability: learned helplessness. It's the belief that your actions no longer shape your outcomes. It's contagious. And it's often hiding in plain sight, disguised as "that's just how things are here." Alex walks through two classic experiments to show how deeply this pattern gets wired in, then turns the mirror on himself with a personal story about a phantom leg cramp that limited him for six years. From there, he offers three practical techniques leaders can use immediately: naming excuses and asking "what else could we try," swapping victim-questions for ownership-questions, and reframing impossible goals into small, doable next steps. Learned helplessness isn't a character flaw. It's a habit. And habits can be broken. Listen in, then go work on it with your team this week. Episode Highlights 00:02:27 What learned helplessness actually is 00:04:02 The flea experiment 00:06:38 The five monkeys experiment 00:08:27 Phrases that signal learned helplessness 00:10:03 Alex's personal story: the lunges that haunted him 00:14:04 Technique 1: name the excuse, ask what else 00:15:08 Technique 2: swap why and who for what and how 00:17:41 Technique 3: thinking inside-the-box
Feeling stuck often isn't about motivation, it's about a psychological pattern called learned helplessness. In this episode, Josh, Alessandra and Joelle break down the science of decision-making and control, and why the small choices you make every day matter more than the big ones you keep putting off. You'll learn: Why the amygdala plays a key role in feeling helpless, and how it can be rewired The "rule of two" for building habits that actually stick Why your first step in any transformation matters more than your tenth How to fall in love with the process instead of chasing the outcome Simple tools and challenges to build accountability with the people around you Backed by science and grounded in real stories, this episode gives you a practical starting point for building consistency, one small decision at a time. If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start building momentum, this episode is your first step.
