Wrong friends can wreck your faith—sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly. In this episode of The Commitment of Faith, Pastor Roderick Webster challenges us with a simple but powerful truth from Psalm 1:1 (KJV): the blessed life depends on the path you choose—and the people you choose to walk with.Pastor Webster connects today's lack of commitment to what we see in relationships, marriages, and even in the church: many people hear God's Word, but don't respond with obedience. And our response is often shaped by our environment—especially our friends.From Judges 11:1–3, we see Jephthah's painful beginning: rejected by family, pushed out, and then surrounded by “vain men.” The wrong crowd can feel welcoming when you're hurting—but it can also pull you away from God's best.This devotion is especially for:anyone feeling pressured by friendsyoung people thinking about leaving homeparents guiding their childrenbelievers who want a stronger walk with God✅ Listen, reflect, and share this with someone who needs wisdom about their circle.Hashtags: #Psalm1 #DailyDevotion #CommitmentOfFaith #FaithWalk #WordsFromTheWord0:00 Living for Jesus (Hymn)0:34 What commitment of faith means1:07 Why commitment is rare today2:02 What you do with God's Word2:37 Every listener responds3:05 Jephthah: a hero of faith3:44 His painful beginning5:05 Cast out by family6:09 “Vain men” + wrong crowd7:20 Psalm 1:1 and the blessed path8:30 Choose your company wisely9:00 What real friends do9:28 Leaving home needs God's guidance10:11 Share this with someone10:30 Closing prayer

THE 1975 COLLAPSE AND THE WAR'S STRATEGIC FAILURE Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. Following the 1973 peace deal and US withdrawal, Congressional aid to South Vietnam plummeted, leaving the ARVN deprived of essential logistics and air support. When the NVA launched their final offensive in 1975, the US did not intervene, leading to a chaotic collapse of the South Vietnamese military and the fall of Saigon. The war concluded as a strategic failure where the US fought a political war based on the domino theory without understanding local realities, resulting in immense loss of life for little geopolitical gain. NUMBER 16 1964 SAIGON
MCNAMARA'S REDEMPTION AT THE WORLD BANK Colleague William Taubman. After leaving the Defense Department, McNamara sought redemption as President of the World Bank, shifting its focus to aiding the "poorest of the poor" and combating diseases like river blindness. He viewed this humanitarian work as an attempt to explain the lives lost in Vietnam, later admitting that the bombing campaigns he oversaw failed to break enemy morale just as they had in World War II. While he claimed ignorance regarding the toxicity of Agent Orange and struggled with family estrangement due to the war, he eventually attempted to reconcile his legacy and his relationship with his son.

Happy New Year! I'm taking a moment to look back at the last six months of 2025—what's worked, what hasn't, and what the numbers tell me about the year so far. I reflect on the journey I've been on, the adventures, the challenges, and the mindset shifts that have shaped my life. I talk about working in longer blocks, thinking in decades not years, and the balance between pushing hard and giving myself space to rest. I share what I'm learning about consistency, structure, and getting intentional with my time, energy, and goals. I also get real about needing magic, wanting change, and how to show up even when life throws curveballs. If you're looking for a little reflection, motivation, and some Tough Girl honesty, this episode is for you. Thank you for all your support!

Empowerment and Transformation: Janet Zitting's Journey from Polygamy to ManifestationIn this episode of the Samantha Parker Show, Samantha introduces Janet Zitting as part of the 'People to Watch in 2026' series. Janet shares about her upbringing in a polygamous family within a high-demand religion. With 44 siblings and four mothers, Janet discusses the complexities and challenges of her early life. She explains her journey of breaking free from the cult-like environment at the age of 19, her steps into the real world, and how she came to embrace manifestation and mindset work. Janet now helps other women understand the power of shifting perspectives for personal transformation. They explore themes of empowerment, the role of mindset in changing one's life, and the importance of finding moments of joy and beauty in everyday life.

“Losing Doe B still hurts everybody” ~ CBM Soulja CBM Soulja sits down with Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report for a powerful and emotional conversation about life, loss, and resilience. In this interview, CBM Soulja opens up about learning of Doe B's passing while he was incarcerated, the pain of losing a close friend, and the impact it had on his life and mindset. He reflects on beating two life sentences, being locked up while trying to maintain family ties, and the emotional toll of navigating those moments publicly and privately. The conversation also dives into his upbringing in Montgomery, Alabama, his early journey into music, and the deep bond he shared with Doe B — including how Doe B influenced his sound and career. CBM Soulja discusses new music, including his project Turkey Bag Muzik featuring Doe B and Lil Daddy, and speaks on how his experiences shaped the direction of the project. He also opens up about fatherhood, losing close friends, social media's impact on real relationships, and the importance of growth, accountability, and purpose.

In this Bonus Bri episode, Brian Beckner delivers a free preview of this week's Patreon-exclusive content—starting with one of the strangest and most unintentionally profound traditions in modern American sports: the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Joined by friend of the show and official Pop-Tarts Bowl Correspondent Zach Xavier, Brian breaks down the surreal pageantry, evolving lore, and outright ritual sacrifice of Pop-Tarts mascots—including toaster cremations, memorial jackets for fallen pastries, and a jacked “protein Pop-Tart” who refuses his destiny and escapes execution. But that's only the beginning. The episode takes a sharp turn into darker territory with a disturbing true story out of Austria: a mountain climber accused of manslaughter after allegedly leaving his exhausted, ill-equipped girlfriend to freeze to death near the summit of the country's highest peak. Brian unpacks the case, the prosecution's allegations, and what it says about responsibility, masculinity, and abandoning someone who trusted you with their life. Along the way, Brian riffs on: Why Pop-Tarts may be the straightest food ever invented The ethics of survival stories and cutting the rope The difference between “feeling bad” and being accountable The unspoken social contract of not leaving women vulnerable Bonnie Blue, Bali, and disrespecting national flags for clout The Monster Mash paradox (a song about a song that never existed) JonBenét Ramsey, new “evidence,” and why some mysteries never die This episode is funny, unhinged, uncomfortable, and very on-brand. Key Topics & Highlights The Pop-Tarts Bowl as the “People's National Championship” Mascot death count: now officially three Memorial ceremonies for previously toasted Pop-Tarts BYU vs. Georgia Tech (almost irrelevant, by design) Protein Pop-Tart with jacked arms escapes the toaster Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten The Austrian mountain climbing case and manslaughter charges Gross negligence vs. tragic accident Why some survival stories are defensible—and others aren't Masculinity, responsibility, and not abandoning people Bonnie Blue's Bali controversy and flag disrespect The Monster Mash as a cultural copy with no original JonBenét Ramsey updates and enduring skepticism Episode Segments / Rough Timestamps Note: Exact timestamps may vary depending on platform 00:00 – Bonus Bri intro & Patreon preview 03:00 – What exactly is the Pop-Tarts Bowl? 07:30 – Mascot lore, toaster deaths & memorial jackets 14:00 – Protein Pop-Tart escapes execution 20:00 – Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten 25:00 – Austrian mountain climber leaves girlfriend to die 38:00 – Survival ethics & masculinity 52:00 – Bonnie Blue, Bali & national disgrace 58:00 – Monster Mash theory 1:05:00 – JonBenét Ramsey updates 1:10:00 – Closing thoughts & Patreon plug Quotes from the Episode “The Pop-Tarts Bowl is the only championship with a confirmed death toll.” “Feeling bad isn't the same as doing the right thing.” “There are certain things you just don't do as a man—like leaving someone to die on a mountain.” Support the Show Bonus episodes available on Patreon:patreon.com/TheBallerLifestylePodcast Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts—it helps the show more than you think.

#192 - What I'm Carrying Into the New Year — And What I'm Finally Leaving Behind New Year's Eve has a funny way of making us feel like we should reinvent ourselves by midnight. New rules. New goals. New personality. Preferably someone who loves green juice and wakes up excited at 5 a.m. This episode is… not that. Instead, this is a pause. A breath. A moment to stand in the quiet space between what's been and what's coming—and ask a better question than “Who should I be next year?” In this reflective solo episode, I share what this past year taught me the long way around: that growth isn't about striving harder, fixing more, or optimizing your way into worthiness. The most meaningful shifts often come from removing pressure, listening to your nervous system, and letting go of identities that no longer fit. We talk about discernment over urgency, why discomfort isn't a problem to solve, how progress actually works (hint: it's not linear), and what it looks like to move into a new year lighter—not because you did more, but because you carried less. No resolutions. No hustle. No performative “new you.” Just honesty, integration, and intentions that actually make room for real life. If you've felt tired of pushing, quietly proud of how much you've grown, or like you're standing on the edge of something new—but slower and steadier than before—this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: Why striving, optimizing, and “doing more” often block real healing The difference between urgency and discernment—and why it matters How listening to your nervous system builds real trust with yourself What to keep, what to release, and what doesn't need to come with you Why intentions work better than resolutions (and how to choose yours) How progress actually unfolds—even when it feels messy or invisible Time Stamps 00:00 – Why this episode isn't about goals, resolutions, or reinvention 02:00 – The quiet space between years—and why it matters 04:00 – When striving stops working (and what actually does) 06:30 – Discernment vs. urgency: learning to pause instead of react 10:00 – What I'm intentionally carrying into the new year 12:00 – What I'm finally leaving behind (and why discomfort isn't failure) 15:00 – Intentions over resolutions—and how to choose yours 18:00 – Moving forward lighter, calmer, and more grounded Where to Find Me You can connect with me, explore programs, and see what I'm up to outside the podcast here: Website: https://lisasmithwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prettywell_podcast
Plato's cave is no longer a place of ignorance but a nervous system organized around familiarity. The chains are early attachment imprints; the shadows are trauma-bonded patterns mistaken for love. Neural biology prioritizes prediction over truth, so the brain confuses recognition with safety and repetition with intimacy. Attachment wounds project onto partners, turning chemistry into reenactment and connection into regulation. Leaving the cave is not acquiring insight but tolerating the collapse of familiar neural patterns long enough for presence to emerge. Those who see threaten the system because truth deregulates the known. Liberation in love occurs when the nervous system relinquishes pattern for presence.
In this reflective and empowering episode, Shronda Armstrong invites listeners to pause, reset, and intentionally step into 2026 by releasing what no longer serves them. Rather than chasing traditional New Year's resolutions, Shronda challenges us to embrace continuous self-improvement, self-awareness, and spiritual alignment—any day of the year.She dives into the realities of imposter syndrome, especially for women of color, the importance of walking away from toxic circles, and the necessity of developing financial maturity by knowing your worth and charging accordingly.

In this episode of the 'Talk of Iowa' book club, author Sarah McCammon and expert readers discuss 'The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church.' The book is a blend of memoir and reporting, focusing on McCammon's life growing up in an evangelical church in Missouri and attending an evangelical college before parting ways with the church as a young adult. McCammon also writes about the experiences of other so-called "exvangelicals." (This episode was originally produced April 15, 2025.)
The FDA has issued a major safety alert on andexanet alfa, used to reverse factor Xa inhibitors, after post-marketing data and the ANNEXA-I trial showed roughly double the risk of serious and fatal thromboembolic events versus usual care. Concluding that risks now outweigh benefits, U.S. sales will end, forcing hospitals to urgently reassess reversal protocols. Meanwhile, the CDC reports a sharp national rise in influenza activity, dominated by H3N2, with increasing hospitalizations and pediatric deaths; vaccination and early antiviral treatment remain strongly recommended. Finally, the FDA approved once-daily oral semaglutide 25 mg for weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction, offering efficacy comparable to injectable therapy and potentially expanding patient access when launched in 2026.
In this annual State of the Union episode, I'm sharing what's officially in and out for me in 2026 - from habits and routines to mindset shifts, consumption patterns, and how I want my life to feel going into the new year. We talk about de-centering excessive scrolling, refining consumption, prioritizing sleep and mental health, and leaning harder into hobbies, creativity, and long-form content. I also share the wellness routines, lifestyle shifts, and creators that are inspiring me right now as I move into a slower, more intentional season.This episode is less about resolutions and more about direction — what I'm choosing to give energy to, and what I'm consciously letting go of.

Send us a textA year of relentless help and louder hope. We open the doors on how the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation turned complaint campaigns into fuel, scaled a 24/7 crisis line, and put bold billboards across Los Angeles and London so Sea Org members know a safe exit exists. With Claire, Mark, Phil Jones, Matt Pesch, Amy Scobee, and mental health coordinator Jeff Beaumont, we walk through what real support looks like when disconnection has burned bridges and erased lifelines.You'll hear how law enforcement partnerships now include an anonymous reporting portal and a dedicated agency hotline, making it easier for investigators to understand Scientology's control tactics and move cases forward. We dig into the support groups led by cult-recovery therapist Rachel Bernstein, why anonymity matters for new escapees, and how a peer buddy system helps during holidays and tough nights. Then we get practical: education grants, GED pathways, and a 2026 push into vocational training so survivors can land steady work fast. Career counselors translate “Sea Org” experience into civilian resumes, replace paper systems with modern tools, and rebuild confidence step by step.We also celebrate momentum: recurring donors are up, total donations jumped, and aid requests more than doubled. Testimonials—kept anonymous to protect safety—show lives stabilized, apartments secured, classes started, and families holding onto hope despite disconnection. Along the way, we share powerful cultural moments: a teaser for Brothers Broken, which lays bare the cruelty of disconnection, and John C. Christensen's Pain to Promise, a frontline look at how help becomes a new life. The takeaway is simple and stubborn: when a high-control group tries to silence help, the answer is to grow that help, register everywhere, document everything, and keep picking up the phone.Want more people to find this work?

Are you ready to reflect honestly on your year, the wins, the hard moments, the breakthroughs, and the lessons, so you can step into 2026 with clarity, peace, and purpose? In this year‑end episode, I walk you through my 2025 review, including what I'm leaving behind, what I'm bringing forward, and the mindset shift that changed everything for me. 2025 was big. It was full. It was messy and beautiful at the same time. As we close the year, I want to invite you to a few reflection questions that will help you own your wins, honestly assess your growth, and choose what you're ready to let go of before 2026 begins. I share: My wins in business and life — including podcast visibility goals, revenue reflections, and family milestones. The hardest moment of the year and how vulnerability changed my identity.

You don't have to take everything with you into next year. You get to choose. What You'll Learn How to describe your year with honesty instead of pressure. Why acknowledging wins matters more than you think. How your identity shifts through struggle and breakthrough. The power of asking curious, open goals — instead of rigid demands.

We've had rough years before—but 2025? This one hit different. If you've been listening to us for the last six years, you know we're no strangers to hard conversations. DEI. Wellbeing. Systems that don't work the way they should. And this year pushed all of that—from the global to the deeply personal. So what did we learn when everything felt heavier than usual? Let's talk about the biggest lessons this year forced us to learn - what we're leaving behind in 2025, and what we are carrying forward, with purpose, into 2026. What to listen for: Mindsets that we're embracing: There are two things you can control, attitude and effort. Thank you, kids' basketball camp, for teaching us this one. It feels a lot more peaceful to identify and wear one identity at a time, and not feel guilty that you're not being anybody else in that moment. Even if you've got a trillion things on the go, if you need to be mom right now, be a rockstar mom; if you need to get a workout, be an amateur athlete. Some strong truthbombs amidst laughter, including this: Nobody cares. You're giving other people's opinions far more power than they actually have. Everybody's going through something. Tough doesn't look the same; have empathy. What we're bringing into 2026: Relationships and empathy.
As the calendar turns toward a new year, many grieving moms feel an unexpected weight. Moving forward can feel disloyal. Hope can feel complicated. And the quiet question rises: How do I walk into a new year when my child is no longer walking beside me? In this episode, we return to Mary one final time. Scripture tells us she treasured these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary did not move forward by forgetting what she carried. She moved forward by holding love and life together. In this episode, you'll hear: Why stepping into a new year can stir guilt after child loss How Mary teaches us to carry memory and movement together Why loving your child deeply and living forward are not opposites How faith invites you to walk gently into what comes next This conversation offers permission to grieve, remember, and continue living — all at the same time. Grief Mentor Services ✨ GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed or you're unsure how to navigate this season of grief, I would be honored to walk with you in a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session — a time of intentional listening, spiritual discernment, and compassionate mentorship to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward. In each session, I listen carefully to your story and offer personalized guidance, along with simple printables and visual tools designed to meet you right where you are.
What if the stress, chaos, and hidden workload of managing your property while living abroad could be replaced with clarity, control, and peace of mind? In this episode, I sit down with Oscar Rubio, founder and CEO of Lodgering, a SaaS platform designed to solve one of the most emotionally taxing problems in real estate and mobility: managing a home from thousands of miles away. Oscar shares the deeply personal journey that led him from overworked "one-man orchestra" to leading a scalable, global platform used by institutions, homeowners, and relocated professionals. We explore the messy realities of mobility—overbookings, lost bookings, endless emails, operational burnout, and stressful overseas incidents—and how Oscar transformed years of painful, unscalable work into a streamlined, AI-powered ecosystem designed to give every user what they truly want: safety, clarity, and peace of mind. This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and building a business that supports your life—not the other way around.

Send us a textToday's episode is part of a series called "Leaving America," about folks who have decided to move outside the country and how they did it. Our guest is Joanna Keenan. Jo and I worked together in Santa Cruz, California. We were both physician assistants in the same emergency department at the local hospital there. Eight years ago Jo and her spouse Kelly retired to Mexico. Five years ago, Joanna came out as a trans woman. We discuss our shared experience working in American healthcare, and her and Kel's decision to retire to Mexico and the logistics of that move. We also talk about her experience coming out as a trans woman in Mexico, and her and Kel's move back to the United States this year in large part because they have turned 65 and now qualify for Medicare which gives them access to better health care than what they had in Mexico.

As we close out the year, it's time to take a breath, look back at how far you and your puppy have come, and let go of the puppy training myths that made puppy behavior feel more confusing and stressful than it needed to be. This end-of-year recap is about clarity, encouragement, and dog behavior explained in a way that actually makes sense for real puppy parents. In this episode of The Well-Mannered Mutt, I'm sharing the importance of understanding puppy behavior through a kinder, more realistic lens and breaking down five common training myths we're leaving behind so you can head into the new year with confidence, clarity, and trust in positive reinforcement training. Some of the things I cover in this episode are: dog behavior explained without blame, shame, or outdated labels Why positive reinforcement training is communication, not bribery How common myths quietly interfere with how to build confidence in dogs What puppy parents are already doing right when it comes to puppy behavior Why understanding dog behavior explained through science changes everything You've done more than you realize. Your puppy has learned more than you think. When we understand dog behavior explained through kindness and science, training gets easier and relationships get stronger. By letting go of pressure, perfection, and outdated advice, you create space for calmer homes, better puppy behavior, and real progress built through positive reinforcement training. This end-of-year recap is also a reminder that learning how to build confidence in dogs starts with trust, patience, and realistic expectations, and you are already well on your way.

What happens in the mind of a narcissist when they realize they've finally lost control? In this episode, Lee Hammock (Self-Aware Narcissist) reveals the three words that strike the most fear into a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): "I am leaving."For most people, these words signify a breakup. For a narcissist, they signify the end of a power dynamic, the loss of supply, and the onset of "narcissistic injury." Lee breaks down why this specific phrase is so terrifying and how it often triggers the most desperate "Hoovering" attempts.In this episode, we explore:The Core Fear: Why the threat of abandonment is a narcissist's "kryptonite."The Power Shift: What happens to the dynamic when you stop being a source of supply.Manipulation Tactics: How narcissists use "Future Faking" and guilt to stop you from walking out the door.The "Discard" vs. Being Left: Why it's different when you choose to go first.If you are looking for the strength to leave or trying to understand why your exit triggered such a massive reaction, this episode provides the perspective you need to stay strong.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net Healing Support Group: https://mentalhealness.thinkific.com/products/communities/thementalhealers1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://mentalhealness1on1perspective.as.me/schedule/ec588030Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss
New Year's Resolutions or Intentions for the New Year...Peace will rule, get into it! End of year roundup, reflecting on next chapter of my life, I am hopeful that my ordered steps will help someone else. Truth comes in many forms. What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. An elderly woman once told a sister, "I love her, but I cannot breathe when she leaves. It is as though she blows out the candles in my house." The sister answered her with gentle truth, "Love her from a distance, for God did not ask you to sacrifice your peace to satisfy another's unrest." If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type, the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you. 3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you. Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts. 5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives. Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace. Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge. Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share a raw, unscripted talk from a private mastermind where I break down what it actually takes to level up in business and in life. This is not about tactics, funnels, or hacks. It is about the internal shifts, humility, and skill rebuilding required when the old version of you can no longer take you where you want to go. Through personal stories from wrestling, entrepreneurship, faith, and leadership, I explain why growth feels uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often the signal that you are on the right path. Rather than teaching another framework, I'm walking you through the psychological and emotional realities of moving from one level to the next, and why most people stall out when their ego refuses to let go of past success. Key Highlights: ◼️Why every new level of success requires abandoning the skill sets that previously worked ◼️How the Hero's Journey explains personal growth, plateaus, and the need to leave the “ordinary world” ◼️Why ego and attachment to past wins are often the biggest blockers to scaling ◼️The difference between technical growth and internal readiness for the next level ◼️How humility, reflection, and learning from others unlock the next phase of progress Real growth does not come from doing more of what already worked, but from being willing to relearn, rebuild, and let go of the identity tied to past achievements. This episode is a reminder that leveling up is less about external strategy and more about who you are willing to become in order to move forward. ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?
