Embracing discomfort is the pathway to growth.Cozy EarthOur Cozy Earth throw blanket is obsessed over in our household and truly feels luxurious.

Stress. We all feel it in some way…big or small. And it's not that stress is actually bad. It's that under-recovered stress is potentially deadly. This week on the IMPACT SHOW, we're talking about something every single one of us deals with — stress. And not just surface-level stress. I'm talking about the kind that builds quietly over time. The kind that high performers carry. The kind that can cost you your health if you're not careful. My guest today is Derek Clark — performance coach, speaker, and founder of the Stress Recovery Game Plan. Derek's story will stop you in your tracks. In his 40s, after years of operating at a high level, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure… which led to open-heart surgery… which was followed by a cancer diagnosis. This isn't theory. This is lived experience. And what he discovered is something we ALL need to hear — stress isn't the enemy. Under-recovered stress is. This episode will challenge you, wake you up, and equip you with tools you can use immediately. In this episode, you'll hear and learn: The difference between strategic, tactical, and responsive stress — and which one is silently draining most high performers. Why "chronic stress" is really under-recovered stress — and how to start correcting it. Derek's powerful 4-step Stress Recovery Game Plan to regain balance daily. Why mindset and sleep are the two most important levers you can pull starting tonight. Practical strategies to improve recovery — from HRV awareness to breathwork to building a better pre-sleep routine. The "Flip the Coin" mindset tool to reframe setbacks and turn adversity into fuel. Some of the questions inside this week's IMPACT SHOW include: You've used the term "stress-oholic." What do you mean by that—and how did you realize you were living that way? Most people think stress is the enemy. You say stress is misunderstood. What do most of us get wrong about stress? How do you personally define stress today, and how is that definition different than the typical "stress is bad" narrative? Can you walk us through what stress is actually doing in the body—physiologically—when someone feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overdrive? At what point did you realize you didn't need more stress management… you needed a recovery strategy? Can you break down the 4 steps of the Stress Recovery Game Plan™ and what each step helps people do? What are some of the 7 recovery tactics inside the Stress Recovery Game Plan, and which ones tend to give people the fastest results early on? If someone is in a season of life where stress feels nonstop—work, family, health—what's the first "small win" you'd recommend to start regaining control? What do you say to high performers who feel like recovery is "lazy," "soft," or something they'll do later when life slows down? Here's the bottom line: you don't need less ambition. You need better recovery. If you're building something big — a business, a career, a family, a legacy — stress will be part of the equation. The key is learning how to balance it so it builds you instead of breaking you. If this episode hits home, share it with someone who needs it. Post it to your story. Text it to your business partner or spouse. And if you're serious about elevating your health and performance this year, take one action from this episode and implement it TODAY. I hope you enjoyed today's episode.  IG: @ToddDurkin @derek.r.clark FB: @ToddDurkinFQ10 #StressRecoveryGamePlan #Ep468 Derek Clark is a stress recovery expert and speaker who helps individuals regain balance, reduce health vulnerabilities, and enhance day-to-day performance. He draws on his own experience navigating two rare health conditions, challenges he attributes in part to the cumulative effects of chronic, unbalanced stress. His story of overcoming adversity led to a complete reevaluation of how we respond to stress and how we recover from it. Derek is a licensed athletic trainer and master sports performance coach with over 25 years of experience working with athletes and high performers. He is the founder of Grizz Athletic Performance and Recovery, a company focused on physical and mental development, injury rehabilitation, and sustainable recovery strategies. He also serves as the Director of Athletic Performance and Wellness at the Greater Pittsburgh Sports Complex, where he applies the same principles of stress recovery, performance enhancement, and holistic well-being with athletes, professionals, and teams. Through his Stress Recovery Game Plan™, a four-step daily framework supported by seven key tactics, Derek empowers individuals to redefine their relationship with stress and build a resilient internal environment—mentally, emotionally, and physically. His approach speaks to the everyday challenges faced by employees and leaders alike, helping them feel, perform, and live better. He believes everyone is an athlete in the game of life—and his mission is to help them recover like one.

Keith sits down with Fred Hodge Jr., owner of Clearview Washing in New Jersey—an exterior cleaning company that's been growing since 2004 and now runs up to 26 employees in peak season. Fred breaks down what actually helped him scale: lead gen, hiring, culture, and the systems that keep the business running even when he's on vacation (without the "putting out fires from the beach" vibe). They get into niche high-profit services (yes, chandelier cleaning), the KPIs that drive pricing decisions, how to raise prices without nuking your calendar, and why Fred keeps a buffalo picture behind his desk—to remind himself to run toward problems, not away from them.   "What got you there isn't the same avenue what's gonna get you to your next place." – Fred Hodge Jr.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: How Fred scaled from "Chuck in a truck" to a multi-crew operation The systems that help him step off the truck—and stay off Why bundling services dramatically raised their average ticket How to use simple KPIs (no algebra required) to make smarter pricing moves What "penny smart, dollar foolish" looks like in real business decisions How to build a team culture that retains great people   Key Takeaways: The Business: 22 Years, 26 Employees, Multiple Services. Clearview Washing offers window washing, power washing, soft washing, gutter and roof cleaning, holiday lights, shrink wrapping outdoor furniture—and even chandelier cleaning. Peak season team size hits around 26 employees, with a business mix that's roughly 70% commercial (including HOAs/condos) and 30% high-end residential. The "Chandelier Cleaning" Advantage. Fred explains why chandelier cleaning became a standout niche: most competitors avoid it due to complexity and liability. Clearview leaned in, developed the skill set and tools, and now gets inbound calls from across New Jersey—sometimes landing $8K–$10K chandelier-cleaning projects in high-end homes. Scaling Happened When Systems Got Serious. Fred credits a major turning point to implementing real operational systems (with big help from his wife, who drives processes). That included choosing a CRM (Jobber) and building workflows that reduce chaos and prevent everything from escalating to "owner-level emergencies." He even jokes their QuickBooks coach says they're "not an exterior cleaning company—they're a technology company that offers exterior cleaning."   Connect with Fred Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fredhodgejr/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freddie.hodge  Website: https://clearviewwashing.com/  Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Austin Cohen, we move beyond systems and scaling and into identity, ego, and what true impact actually looks like in 2026. We talk about endurance challenges as a leadership metaphor, why discipline unlocks creativity, and how abundance can feel deeply uncomfortable when you didn't grow up with it. Austin shares his word of the year — impact — and what it means to “contract to expand,” including shedding ego, removing tolerations, and even closing clinics that no longer align. We also dive into imposter syndrome, wealth programming, retirement freedom vs. true retirement, and the hard truth chiropractors need to hear: either accept where you are… or have the courage to level up. This one is honest, personal, and just a little spicy.Key Takeaways:You cannot expand while tolerating misalignment. Whether it's ego, underperforming systems, draining locations, or outdated identities, growth requires contraction first. Removing what no longer serves you creates space for real impact.Abundance isn't just money — it's capacity. Many high performers stall not from lack of skill, but from discomfort with receiving more time freedom, wealth, joy, or ease. Growth requires upgrading what you believe you're allowed to have.Choose your lane with courage. Either accept where you are and enjoy it fully, or decide to level up and embrace discomfort. The most draining place to live is in between.Guest Bio:Dr. Austin Cohen is an Atlanta-based chiropractor and entrepreneur best known as the founder of Corrective Chiropractic, a growing network of clinics focused on structural corrective care across multiple states. He is also the founder of L5 Marketing, a company managing Google Ads and growth systems for chiropractors nationwide, and the creator of Chiro180, a software platform designed to increase Office Visit Average (OVA) and Patient Visit Average (PVA) through data-driven care planning and spinal health scoring. Austin is passionate about systems, scalability, and building true assets in healthcare, and continues to mentor clinic owners looking to expand beyond a single location while creating lasting impact.Subscribe to Austin's weekly newsletter for chiropractorsFollow Austin on InstagramListen the The Austin Cohen Podcast on SpotifyResourcesFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | X | LinkedIn | FacebookFollow She Slays on YouTubeSign up for the Weekly Slay newsletter!Mentioned in this episode:To learn more about CLA and the INSiGHT scanner go to the link below and enter code SHESLAYS when prompted.CLALearn more about Sunlighten Saunas and get your She Slays discount by clicking the link below!She Slays Associates Job Board

Michael Tchao joins the pod to talk about how his unexpected landing on Food Network's 2026 Hot List was a true full-circle moment. He shares how teaching a total kitchen “noob” helped him find his voice as an educator, and why experimenting in public is at the heart of his content. Michael also dives into his recent trip to Japan, where he documented a family preserving a centuries-old charcoal craft that burns hotter, cleaner, and more intentionally than standard briquettes. From patience in the kiln to patience in content creation, he reflects on slowing down, focusing on quality over quantity, and building a brand rooted in curiosity, clarity, and value.

In this episode of The Dept. Omar sits down with Brian Miller to unpack what it really takes to build influence, command attention, and become unforgettable in a crowded world. Brian breaks down the psychology of communication, why most people struggle to connect, and how mastering storytelling can instantly elevate your authority in business and life. Together, they explore how to capture a room (even a small one), structure your message so people actually listen, and use curiosity as a tool to hold attention. Brian shares practical frameworks for speaking with clarity, overcoming nerves, and turning everyday conversations into powerful moments of impact. This isn't about hype or performance it's about learning how to communicate in a way that makes people lean in. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or leader who wants to grow online, close more deals, or simply be taken more seriously, this episode will show you how better communication leads to bigger opportunities.

Hoy vengo con una nueva historia de expansión espectacular

There's $1.5 trillion sitting in American foundations right now. Add in donor-advised funds and the total climbs past $1.7 trillion. Most of it isn't moving. Meanwhile, the organizations on the front lines of housing, health, democracy, and climate are being told to do more with less.In this episode, three leaders behind the Level Up campaign make the case that the 5% minimum payout rate — meant to be a floor — has become a ceiling. And they're doing something about it.Aaron Dorfman (NCRP), Jodeen Olguín-Tayler (CHANGE Philanthropy), and Amanda Andere (Neighborhood Funders Group) break down the campaign asking foundations to increase their payout to at least 8% for two years, direct funds more equitably, and prove it with their tax filings.Episode Highlights[00:00] The $1.5 trillion on the sidelines [02:03] Why 5% isn't enough for this moment [06:15] How philanthropy responded to 2025 — and where it fell short [13:50] What "give better" actually looks like [17:24] Why Minneapolis was ready [25:39] The billion-dollar imbalance between right and left [29:24] Why Level Up requires proof, not just promises [44:03] Foundations already leading the way [49:28] What you can do right nowNotable Quotes "We can't leave this capital on the sidelines." — Aaron Dorfman [02:30]"I stopped putting funding into my son's college education fund because if we don't have a world that is effectively addressing climate, racialized violence… I'm not sure my eight year old is going to have the need for a college account." — Jodeen Olguín-Tayler [04:34]"Whatever you thought you were doing during the civil rights movement — that is what you should be doing now." — Amanda Andere [51:15]Resources & Links Level Up Campaign — https://levelupphilanthropy.org/NCRP — https://ncrp.org/Neighborhood Funders Group — https://nfg.org/Listeners, now you can text us your comments or questions by clicking this link.*** If you liked this episode, please help spread the word.

HE LOST HIS JOB… ALMOST LOST HIS FAMILY… AND NOW HE'S BUILDING A KINGDOM-FOCUSED BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP.  This episode of the Level Up + Live is NOT just another “business growth” conversation. This is about pressure. This is about failure. This is about faith under fire.  Sean Meyers sits down with David Wilkinson, owner of Cornerstone Construction, and what unfolds is raw, honest, and deeply powerful. From losing his job… To shutting down his first business after cash flow collapse… To battling addiction that nearly destroyed his marriage… To rebuilding his family and leadership from the inside out… David doesn't sugarcoat a thing. He breaks down: Why most entrepreneurs confuse “entrepreneur” with isolation The brutal lesson that being good at construction ≠ knowing how to build a business The “teabag in hot water” analogy that will hit you right in the gut Why protecting your family matters more than protecting your profit And how prayer shifted from a to-do list… to a real relationship This isn't hustle culture hype. This is humility. This is healing. This is a man choosing legacy over ego. And when David shares the moment his 22-year-old son asked about joining the family business? Let's just say… you'll feel it.  If you're a business owner silently carrying pressure… If you feel successful on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside… If you're building something but afraid you might lose what matters most… This conversation is your wake-up call. Faith. Family. Leadership under pressure. Building a business without losing your soul. This is what leveling up actually looks like. Watch. Listen. Reflect. Then ask yourself: Are you building a business… or are you building a life? Be Our Guest!

Man… I am FIRED UP about this one. This week I'm taking you inside one of my favorite places to speak — chapel at Christian High School. For over a decade now, I've had the honor of pouring into these students twice a year, and every time I step on that stage, I don't take it lightly. When I was praying about the message for the start of 2026, one phrase kept coming to me: BURN THE BOATS! Not half-in. Not one foot on the dock. Not keeping an escape route "just in case." I'm talking ALL-IN!! In this episode, you're going to hear the full chapel message where I challenge these students — and YOU — to stop playing small, no living lukewarm, and stop holding on to the very things that may be keeping you from walking in deep alignment of your divine calling. Whether you're 15 or 55, the principle is the same. God doesn't call part-time followers. He calls the committed. I share the powerful story of Cortés in Year 1519 and what it really means to "Burn the Boats." I talk about adversity, obedience, fear, surrender, and how the devil does his best work right before your biggest breakthrough. And I open up about building the new IMPACT-X Performance mothership — the mess, the chaos, the construction — and how sometimes when you're under construction, it doesn't look pretty… but that doesn't mean God isn't building something great. This message isn't soft. It's not comfortable. It's a wake-up call. And the question echoes throughout the entire talk: "Are you ALL-IN… or are you ALL-OUT?" What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why God doesn't call on part-time followers The real meaning behind "Burn the Boats" How to know if you're truly ALL IN The 6 boats you may need to burn Why adversity often precedes your biggest breakthrough How to fully surrender instead of drifting through your faith The truth about obedience, courage, and stepping into your divine calling At the end of the day, this episode is about surrender. You don't drift into surrender. You choose it. You choose obedience. You choose courage. You choose to burn the boats that are holding you back. Some of you are in the middle of construction right now. It's messy. It's loud. It's uncomfortable. You may be questioning what God is doing. But pressure doesn't destroy you — it prepares you for what's next. The breaking isn't punishment — it's training. And if you'll stay obedient, if you'll stay all in, what's being built will be greater than anything you can see in the middle of the mess. So here's my challenge: Don't wait. Don't delay. Don't keep an escape route. Burn the boats. Go all-in on your faith. Go all-in on your calling. Go all-in on the man or woman God created you to be. And go create IMPACT. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If it fired you up to create more IMPACT—please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

This week, we're joined by Cal Jones! A 32-year grappling veteran with a master's in advanced coaching practice, Cal is one of the most recognized voices in the constraints-led approach (CLA) space. In this episode, Cal breaks down why the quality of your reps matters more than the quantity and how to design training that actually transfers to competition. Topics include: repetition and representation, the PVCT model (a framework for layering increasingly representative training tasks), perception-action coupling, invariants in BJJ, open mat intention, and the role of fun and confidence in long-term skill development.Follow Cal on Instagram:https://instagram.com/calwjonesConnect with Cal for consulting:https://calendly.com/calumwalkerjones/consultancyResources discussed in this episode:Ecological Dynamics in Sport Coaching: An Essential Guide, by Steve M.

If you run a home service business and want to close more jobs without sounding desperate or pushy, this episode is for you. After walking 15,000+ properties over 15 years, Keith breaks down the exact sales behaviors that consistently turn quotes into signed deals — whether it's a $500 job or a $15,000 one. No scripts. No manipulation. Just confidence, clarity, and reps. This episode is packed with real-world stories from landscaping, window cleaning, and service businesses — including close calls, funny moments, and the mindset shifts that separate stressed operators from calm closers.   "Don't talk like you want the job. Talk like the job is already happening." – Keith Kalfas   What You'll Learn in This Episode: The Assumptive Close Stop hoping you get the job. Start assuming it's already happening — from your language, to your body language, to how you move on the property. Keith explains how physically engaging with the work (yes, even grabbing a shovel) changes the customer's certainty instantly.   Sell Outcomes, Not Tasks Customers don't care about mulch depth, blade angles, or plant species. They care about one thing: "Is this going to look good?" Keith explains how certainty transfers — and why confidence sells faster than technical details. The Two-Option Close (and Why You Need a High-Ticket Offer) Give customers two clear paths: The "everything included" option The "still looks amazing" option This simple structure reframes price, increases perceived value, and often nudges clients toward higher-ticket jobs — even if they didn't expect it.   Say the Price… Then Shut Up One of the most uncomfortable — and powerful — sales moves. Keith explains why silence after the price lets the customer sell themselves… and how over-explaining kills deals.   Control the Frame If you're unsure, they feel unsure. If you're calm and certain, they relax. Keith shares how confidence is built through reps, mistakes, and surviving the hard seasons — and why customers always buy certainty.   Key Takeaways: Confidence closes more deals than technique. Sales works best when you stop trying to "perform" and start acting like the work is routine. When you assume the job is already happening, your tone relaxes, your body language settles, and you stop chasing approval. Customers pick up on that calm immediately and interpret it as experience and trustworthiness — because people don't buy perfect wording, they buy certainty. Sell the result, not the process Most customers aren't interested in how deep you dig, what tools you use, or the technical steps involved — they want to know how their place will look and feel when it's done. Speaking clearly and confidently about the outcome answers the real question in their head and reassures them that the decision is safe, which is often all they need to move forward. Your price works when you stop apologizing for it. Once you say the price, continuing to talk usually signals doubt and invites hesitation. Silence gives the customer space to process and decide without pressure, and it prevents you from negotiating against yourself. When you treat your price like a normal, everyday number, customers are far more likely to accept it as such.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

Personal growth isn't just glow-ups and manifestation wins.Sometimes… it's grief.In this episode, I talk about the hidden side of leveling up, the part no one prepares you for. The shedding. The detaching. The outgrowing. The quiet grief that comes when you're becoming a new version of yourself.If you've ever:• Outgrown friendships• Felt disconnected from your old identity• Struggled letting go of what once felt safe• Questioned yourself during an upgrade• Felt emotional while leveling upThis conversation is for you.Every time you evolve, something has to fall away. And that can feel like loss, even when it's alignment.We dive into:• Why leveling up requires identity death• The pain of detaching from old paradigms• Ego, attachment, and the fear of uncertainty• Nervous system safety during self-concept upgrades• Why grief is proof that you're expandingYou're not regressing.You're shedding.And it's safe to let go.If you're ready to embody the version of you who can hold everything you're manifesting, the Glowup Bundle was created for exactly this.These are embodied rituals that teach your body to feel safe enough to receive, regulate your nervous system, and upgrade your self-concept from the inside out.✨ Mirror work✨ Nervous system recalibration✨ Identity embodiment practicesLink --> https://stan.store/ZenbabeYou don't need to force your evolution.You just need to feel safe stepping into it.And so it is.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/zenbabe/donations

In this powerful episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with business owner and entrepreneur Shelley Guthrie for an honest conversation about faith, obedience, leadership, and the unseen journey behind long-term success. Shelley recently celebrated 23 years in business, but her story is far from a smooth path. Behind the longevity are failed ventures, financial risks, hard decisions, and seasons of uncertainty that tested her resilience and her faith. In this episode, she shares what most people never see: the setbacks, the lessons learned the hard way, and the moments where trusting God became the difference between pushing forward and giving up. Listeners will hear the powerful story of a single mother who opened her first business when her daughter was just three months old, built a company while raising three children, homeschooled during the early years, and learned how to navigate the constant tension between leadership, motherhood, and personal sacrifice. Shelley also opens up about: The reality behind business failures and how to move forward without fear Why many entrepreneurs make costly decisions before seeking guidance or prayer How a simple, honest prayer life can bring clarity and peace in leadership The importance of relationships over transactions in building long-term customer loyalty What she wishes she had done differently during the busiest seasons of her life How learning to care for herself made her a better leader and mother Beyond business, Shelley shares how mission work in Haiti transformed her perspective on success, gratitude, and service. What began as a trip to help others became a calling that has impacted her family, her business, and the lives of dozens of children. Through her salon and community support, more than $250,000 has been raised over the past 12 years to support an orphanage and create opportunities for families in need. This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about titles, recognition, or growth at any cost. It is about obedience, consistency, service, and staying aligned with the purpose you are called to live out. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, parent, or leader navigating uncertainty, pressure, or the weight of responsibility, this conversation offers both encouragement and perspective. Success is not built on perfect decisions, it is built on faith, resilience, and a willingness to grow through every season.

This week is incredibly special. My wife Melanie and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage. WOW! Twenty-five years since February 17, 2001… and 28 years since I first walked into that graduate teaching assistant meeting at San Diego State University and saw the most beautiful blonde woman with the brightest smile in the room. Little did I know…that woman would become my wife. In this episode, we take you live to Whitefish, Montana, from our Annual Retreat, where Kelli Watson interviews Melanie and me on stage about marriage, faith, parenting, business, hard seasons, deep loss, big dreams, and what it really takes to stay committed for the long haul. I'd like to share part of that interview with you as we received great feedback on it. This one is vulnerable. We talk about the wins, some losses, some wounds, and even some of the arguments. Haha. We talk about relationships, growth, the kids, the calling, and how love looks different 25 years later. If you're married, want to be married, leading a family, building a business, or walking through a tough season—this episode is for you. Check it out… What You'll Learn in This Episode: How our definition of love evolved from "what can I get?" to "how can I serve?" The best marriage advice we ever received. How to navigate tough seasons with a short memory and thick skin. What raising three athletes taught us about teamwork at home. How faith became the foundation that carried us through tragedy. Why second chances and redemption stories matter so deeply to us. The power of walks, car rides, and intentional conversation in staying connected. How to balance personal ambition with shared family goals. What it means to "divide and conquer" in certain seasons of life. Why your spouse's spirit matters more over time than physical attraction. The conversations that shaped us as young parents—and the ones shaping us now. What legacy truly means and how we want to be remembered. What do the next 25-years look like?! Haha. Here are Some of the Interview Questions from Kelli Watson: Todd & Melanie Durkin – 25 Years of Marriage Looking back on 25 years together, what's one thing that has surprised you most about marriage? Every couple goes through seasons—busy, calm, and sometimes stormy. What practices or habits have helped you stay connected through the different seasons of life? You've both supported each other through major career milestones and raising a family. How have you balanced personal dreams with shared goals? What does partnership mean to you now, compared to when you first got married? How do you handle disagreements or tough conversations? Over the years, what small, consistent actions have had the biggest impact on keeping your relationship strong? You've both spoken about faith and purpose. How has your faith influenced your marriage and the way you lead as a couple? If your younger selves could sit in the audience today, what advice would you give them about love, communication, and commitment? How has your definition of love changed from year one to year twenty-five? And finally, what's next for the two of you--as a couple, as parents, and as partners in life and impact? We've done a lot in 25-years. We walked through tragedy. We've built businesses. We've raisedthree incredible kids. We've sold a company. We're launching another. We've grown in faith. We've wrestled through conflict. And we've learned that love deepens when you serve, not when you keep score. I have fallen more in love with Melanie's spirit today than I did even 25 years ago. Her faith. Her discipline. Her heart for serving others through the Durkin Impact Foundation. Her mothering our 3-kids. I'm more convinced than ever that when your marriage is rooted in faith, purpose, love, and understanding, and good communication, it can weather anything.

In this episode, you'll learn the seven most powerful small bet situations that can instantly pressure your opponents and win more pots. By watching, you'll understand exactly when to use small bets for protection, range advantage, stack-to-pot leverage, block betting, and multi-way pressure so you can make more profitable decisions in both cash games and tournaments. 00:00 Mastering Small Bets to Punish Missed Ranges (Cash Game C-Bet Strategy) 00:48 Protection Betting: Thin Value with Medium Pairs in Tournaments 02:50 Range Advantage Boards: Small Bets When You Smash the Flop 04:30 Low Stack-to-Pot Ratio Strategy in 3-Bet and 4-Bet Pots 06:16 Out-of-Position Flop Strategy: Why Solvers Prefer Small Bets 07:18 River Block Betting: Setting Your Own Price with Medium Strength Hands 09:06 Multi-Way Pots: Shared Defense and Why Smaller Bets Work In this episode of the Level-Up podcast, we break down the seven most profitable small bet situations in No Limit Hold'em and explain how to weaponize small sizing in both cash games and tournaments. From classic continuation bet spots to advanced stack-to-pot ratio adjustments, this guide shows you how to pressure opponents efficiently without bloating the pot unnecessarily. The first key concept centers on betting small when your opponent's range is filled with missed hands. In single-raised pots—like when you raise preflop and the big blind calls—dry flops such as queen-seven-three heavily favor the preflop raiser. Because the defender's range contains many ace-high and low-equity hands, a small one-third pot c-bet frequently wins the pot immediately while risking very little. This is one of the most efficient plays in modern poker strategy. Next, we explore protection betting with medium-strength hands. In tournament scenarios with 50 big blind stacks, holding a pocket pair on a coordinated board often calls for a small turn bet. This thin value plus protection approach forces opponents with overcards into difficult decisions, either folding equity or calling while behind. When your range crushes the board—such as in three-bet pots on ace-king-jack textures—small bets at high frequency generate folds from capped ranges while maintaining balance. Similarly, in four-bet pots where the stack-to-pot ratio (SPR) is low, small bets are typically optimal because the pot is already bloated and ranges are narrow. Out of position, solvers overwhelmingly prefer small sizing as the preflop raiser. By "naming your price," you avoid giving the in-position player the advantage of dictating the pot size. This principle extends to block betting on the river, where small bets with medium-strength hands prevent facing larger bets while still extracting thin value. Finally, we examine multi-way pots. Because the burden of defense is shared, betting into multiple players already signals strength. Smaller bets often accomplish the same goal as larger ones while preserving stack depth. Mastering these seven small bet scenarios will dramatically improve your postflop strategy, increase your win rate, and help you control pot geometry across a wide variety of poker situations.

In this week's mini-episode, we discuss plus, minus, equals: a team-based training concept often attributed to UFC legend Frank Shamrock. It teaches that you get the best results when training with a combination of people who are better than you (the "pluses"), worse than you (the "minuses"), and on par with you (the "equals").Get our Intro to Mechanics audio course, normally $79, FREE:https://bjjmentalmodels.com/freeintro⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of Jiu-Jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!

As you long-term listeners may recall, our "Anything Goes" episodes are exactly what they sound like—a freewheeling, spontaneous gab-fest where practically any subject is allowed.

What if the only thing standing between you and your dream is a story you made up about how it will end? In this episode, I sit down with executive coach, bestselling author, and speaker Ryan Leak to talk about the dangerous habit of pre-calculating failure and talking ourselves out of our own potential. Ryan shares the story behind his documentary Chasing Failure, including how he convinced an NBA team to let him try out (yes, really) and what he learned when he didn't make it. We dive into why successful people are more willing to “sit in the bookstore alone,” how to stop overcomplicating your dreams, and why perfection is the fastest way to stay stuck. Get ready to stop talking yourself out of your dreams and start doing it scared. In This Episode You Will Learn Why you PRE-CALCULATE FAILURE and quit before you even start. How CHASING FAILURE can take you further than chasing success. The mindset shift that separates those who WIN from those who WON'T TRY. Why you must give your BEST to the opportunity in front of you. How to DO IT SCARED instead of waiting to feel ready. The most powerful SELF-AWARENESS question you can ask to elevate your leadership.

What if the most freeing truth about success is also the hardest one to accept? In this episode, Keith shares a message he debated releasing for over a year—because once you really hear it, you can't unhear it: Nobody actually cares if you win. Not if you build a multimillion-dollar business you love. Not if you're miserable making money you hate. Not if you sacrifice, grind, or quietly struggle behind the scenes. And strangely… that's not bad news. This episode explores why most people aren't thinking about your happiness, your success, or your suffering—and how accepting that truth can remove pressure, ego, and the constant need for validation. Keith breaks down how status, money, image, and success are often misunderstood, why financial stability still matters deeply, and how your internal compass—not applause—should guide your decisions.   "Nobody cares if you win — and that's not an insult, it's liberation." – Keith Kalfas   In This Episode, you'll hear reflections on: Why people admire success without caring about the person behind it The difference between ego that traps you and ego that keeps you moving Why being broke is far more painful than chasing a dream How money functions as safety, not meaning Why passion without stability becomes stress How listening to your internal resistance can save you years of misery The uncomfortable freedom that comes when you stop performing for others   Key Takeaways: Nobody cares if you win — and that's freeing.Most people aren't watching your effort, your sacrifice, or your inner struggle as closely as you think. They may notice results, but they're not emotionally invested in what it costs you to get there. Accepting this removes the pressure to perform, explain, or prove yourself. When you stop seeking validation from an audience that isn't really paying attention, you're free to make decisions based on what actually fits you—not what looks impressive from the outside. Money provides safety, not meaning.Financial stability creates security, options, and protection from life's inevitable emergencies, while the lack of money amplifies stress and limits choice. But money alone doesn't give direction or fulfillment. Meaning comes from doing work that aligns with your values and energy, not just your bank account. The real goal is to build enough stability to feel safe while choosing a path that doesn't quietly drain you over time. Your internal compass matters more than applause.There's an internal signal that tells you when something is right or wrong, and ignoring it—even for "smart" or socially rewarded opportunities—usually leads to resistance and burnout. People will push you toward paths that benefit them, not necessarily you, and applause can easily drown out your own instincts. Long-term peace comes from trusting that inner compass more than praise, because when the noise fades, you're the one who has to live with the choice.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources
