Podcasts about Level Up

We have previously discussed the law of association, and this week I want to cover all things law of assumption, and how our beliefs shape our reality. By the end of this episode I want you to take responsibility for your assumptions and actions, and recognize that true leadership and success stems from a strong belief in yourself and a clear vision for your future.

In this mini-episode, we discuss coiling, or retracting your limbs and neck. It denies access to our body's vulnerable levers and positions us to explosively generate force.Staying coiled is a smart "default" position if you're not sure what to do. But there are times when you need to uncoil, and that is when:#1: there's a productive reason to do so, and #2: you can do so safely and without giving up a lever.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!

What if everything you've been chasing has never been the problem? In this powerful episode of Level Up + Live, Sean Meyers reveals the hard truth that transformed his life as a business owner, husband, athlete, and leader: you don't rise to your goals, you fall to your standards. From building an insurance agency and earning Million-Dollar Club and President's Club recognition to running at a pace he once thought was impossible, Sean shares why success wasn't created by wishful thinking or motivation. It came from raising the standards he was willing to live by every single day. He opens up about the painful seasons of working 14-hour days, sacrificing relationships, battling stress, and believing burnout was simply part of entrepreneurship. Then everything changed. By refusing to tolerate poor habits, missed commitments, and reactive living, he discovered that small standards create massive transformations. In this episode, Sean pulls back the curtain on the non-negotiable standards that shape his marriage, health, faith, leadership, and business. From weekly coffee dates with his wife and daily prayer to leadership accountability and intentional personal growth, he shares the practical habits that changed everything. If you've been frustrated because your goals aren't becoming reality, this conversation might challenge everything you thought you knew about success. The breakthrough isn't another strategy, another book, or another productivity hack. It's raising the standard. Because what you tolerate today becomes your reality tomorrow. And the question every leader eventually has to answer is this: What standard have you lowered, and what would happen if you raised it starting today? This episode will challenge entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, and anyone who is tired of settling for potential and ready to become the person their goals require. Listen now and discover why the quality of your life will never consistently rise above the standard you accept.

Kan stress faktisk føles tryggere enn ro?I ukens episode av Level Up deler jeg en viktig erkjennelse jeg tok med meg hjem etter møter med noen av verdens største profiler innen personlig utvikling i Toronto og Los Angeles: Du kan ha bygget sterk selvtillit og likevel være styrt av indre stress, lav selvfølelse og gamle, ubevisste mønstre.Du får høre mer om:– hvorfor du kan bli avhengig av stress, travelhet og sterke følelser– hvorfor det kan være så vanskelig å slappe av, selv når du vet at du trenger ro– hvordan mønstre fra barndommen kan gjøre letthet, glede og balanse utrygt– forskjellen på selvtillit og ekte selvfølelse– hvorfor perfeksjonisme, imposter syndrome og den indre kritikeren ikke trenger å styre deg– hvordan omprogrammering av underbevisstheten kan hjelpe deg å endre gamle mønstre og stå stødigere i deg selvDette er episoden for deg som er lei av å løpe fra det ene til det andre, bruke energi på å være den du tror andre forventer og kjenne at du aldri helt klarer å lande.Del episoden med en som trenger å høre at stress, perfeksjonisme og selvkritikk ikke er personlighetstrekk. Det er mønstre som kan omprogrammeres.Her kan du se videoen fra Voices of Impact:https://youtu.be/U8KDtmzCaTI✨Fikk du ikke med deg det gratis foredraget mitt 9. juni? Fortvil ikke!

Do you feel like an imposter as a writer?You probably are. Most authors who experience imposter syndrome are imposters, but they don't have to be!As the saying goes, “There are no good writers; just bad writers who didn't quit.”Every author starts off as a bad writer. To make a living at writing you must improve through hard work, determination, and training. In this week's episode, you'll hear from Chris Fox, author of over 80 books and three million copies sold. You'll learn:Why not knowing your reader's emotional motivation is costing you salesHow word order affects your readers experienceHow Grammarly is making your writing worseHow authors accidentally protect their characters and ruin their books.If something isn't clicking with your writing, listen in or read the blog version to find out what you should be looking for and how you can fix it.Blog Link: https://www.authormedia.com/how-to-level-up-your-writing-with-chris-fox/Authormedia.social:  https://authormedia.social/c/novel-marketing/how-to-level-up-your-writing-with-chris-foxYT Link: https://youtu.be/DanstjzQs6ANovelMarketing.com/patron  Support the show

In this episode of the Untrapped Podcast, Keith Kalfas sits down with Joe Cunningham, a longtime HVAC expert, business consultant, and co-founder of Home Service Checklist. Joe explains why systems alone are not enough to grow a business—the real key is getting employees to follow them consistently. They discuss using checklists, photos, training, and AI to improve service quality, reduce callbacks, increase average tickets, and help contractors scale more profitably.   "Systems are great. Implementation and the discipline to do it is the biggest key you'll ever find." – Joe Cunningham   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why systems fail without consistent implementation   How checklists improve technician accountability and service quality   Why employees often stop following processes during busy seasons   How photos and documentation can reduce callbacks and missed opportunities   How Home Service Checklist uses AI to guide technicians   Why fewer, more profitable jobs can be better than rushing through more calls   How contractors can increase average tickets without being pushy   Why training average employees can create future rock stars   How better systems can improve reviews and customer satisfaction   Why business owners should manage exceptions instead of planning around worst-case scenarios   Key Takeaways: Systems only work when employees consistently implement them. A checklist, training program, or service process has little value if employees stop using it when the company gets busy. Business owners need accountability systems that make the correct process easier to follow and harder to ignore. The goal is not to turn every employee into the business owner. Joe explains that entrepreneurs are often unusually driven, so expecting every employee to perform exactly like the owner is unrealistic. A better goal is to take average employees and help them become 25% to 30% more effective through training, structure, and repetition. More jobs do not always mean more profit. Running fewer, more profitable calls can reduce drive time, lower overhead, and give technicians more time to identify customer needs. Increasing the value of each job can eventually allow a company to add another crew without sacrificing service quality.   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   Connect with Joe Home Service Checklist: homeservicechecklist.com Technical Arts Center: technicalartscenter.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-cunningham-82746217/   Resources and Websites:  Build Your Site: https://www.keithkalfas.com/ReBolt Call Tracking Software: https://www.keithkalfas.com/CallRail 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

You ever feel like God's been stripping things away…and you're left wondering what you did wrong? The contract falls through. A longtime friend ghosts you. That "safe" comfort zone? Gone. Your first thought?... "What the heck did I do?" But what if the loss you're experiencing isn't punishment? What if it's preparation? In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. tackles one of the hardest realities high-performing, faith-driven men face: Navigating seasons when God removes something they thought they needed. Whether it's a relationship, opportunity, job, client, or season of life, loss has a way of making us question ourselves, our future, and even our faith. But what if God isn't stripping something away because you're failing? What if He's pruning you because He wants you to become more fruitful? This episode is about one powerful truth: God doesn't multiply what you cling to. He multiplies what you surrender. And if you learn how to navigate seasons of subtraction the right way, you may discover they're actually setting the stage for your next breakthrough. In this episode, you'll hear: Why loss isn't always rejection (and is often God's process of refinement). Two personal stories from J.R.'s life that revealed where he was placing his trust. The Biblical principle of pruning and why God sometimes removes good things to prepare us for better things. What Joseph's story teaches us about divine subtraction before multiplication. The neuroscience behind the "amygdala hijack" and why setbacks often trigger emotional overreactions. The science-backed PRY Framework to help you process loss without falling apart. Why surrendering outcomes can reduce anxiety, increase resilience, and improve wellbeing. A powerful mindset shift that will help you stop seeing every setback as a sign that you've messed up. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Respond to loss with clarity instead of panic. Regulate your emotions when life blindsides you. Reframe setbacks through both a Biblical and psychological lens. Discover what God may be preparing you for (or protecting you from). Let go of control and move forward in faith. Trust that God may be setting you up for your next breakthrough. KEY QUOTES "Stillness is spiritual strength training. You can't be still with an upregulated nervous system." - J.R. "You need to start seeing things from heaven's perspective, not hell's perspective." - J.R. "God doesn't multiply what we cling to. He multiplies what we surrender." - J.R.

Burned out. Ready to quit. One bad season away from selling everything. That's exactly where Jeremy Laurence found himself. In this powerful Level Up + Live conversation, the owner of Air Woodlands reveals the truth behind the success nobody saw. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and watching stress spill into his marriage, family, and business, Jeremy admits he was ready to walk away from the company he spent years building. But what happened next changed everything. After stepping into a community of leaders and choosing growth over comfort, Jeremy experienced a transformation that reached far beyond business. From losing more than 35 pounds and rebuilding his health to developing leaders inside his company and rediscovering joy, Jeremy shares the breakthroughs that helped him go from surviving to leading with purpose. He opens up about the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, the warning signs of burnout, the power of honest conversations, and why so many business owners wait until they're completely worn out before asking for help. He also shares the lessons that changed his marriage, strengthened his faith, improved his leadership, and helped his children see a better version of their father. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader who feels tired, stressed, frustrated, or secretly wondering if it's time to give up, this episode may be exactly what you need to hear. From addiction recovery and near burnout to renewed purpose and stronger relationships, Jeremy's story proves that success isn't about working harder. It's about becoming the person you're capable of becoming. The comeback nobody saw coming started with one decision. And what Jeremy discovered might change the way you think about leadership forever.

In today's episode, we share our predictions on the fitness trends we think are on their way out before we hit 2027. We break down the rise and fall of the proclaimed social media fitness expert, why having a six pack is no longer a qualification, and why people are finally getting smarter about who they trust with their health. We also get into the shift away from overly niche women's-specific advice, from cycle syncing workouts to menopause-only programs, and why the research is starting to catch up with what good coaches already knew. We talk gym fashion and why scrunch bums might finally be heading for the bin, the growing movement away from lifting-only programs as people rediscover sport, hiking, and just moving for the joy of it, and why the obsession with sky-high protein targets is starting to lose its grip.

In this episode, Stijn sits down with Antoine, Kalungi's new CEO, for an energizing conversation about what it really takes to grow as a marketing professional in 2026. The centerpiece is Antoine's upcoming book, Level Up — a practical, story-driven guide to becoming the kind of marketer, manager, and teammate that no AI can replace.Antoine pulls from an unconventional journey — from chasing a professional soccer career to leading one of the top B2B SaaS marketing firms in the world — to show that the principles behind great teams aren't that different whether you're on a pitch or in a pipeline review.You'll hear about the frameworks that actually move the needle: situational leadership, managing up and down, self-awareness, and the Super Communicator model — a concept that bridges how you lead your team with how you get the most out of AI tools. Spoiler: the skill that saves you from a 6am angry message from an ambassador might also be the skill that saves your next campaign.Whether you're an individual contributor trying to stand out, or a marketing leader building a team that punches above its weight, this episode will leave you with new language for old challenges — and a few ideas worth acting on today.

If you tracked every prayer you've said in the last year — what would show up most? Health, money, relationships, safety? There's nothing wrong with praying for those things. But what if that's only the beginning?In week 2 of our Ephesians summer series, we look at one of the most unusual things about the Apostle Paul: what he didn't pray for. Paul was sitting in a prison cell for five years — accused of a crime he didn't commit — writing to people he loved in a city full of hostility. And instead of praying for his freedom, his safety, or their safety… he prayed something far more interesting.In this message:*Why most people's prayers are stuck at Level 1 (and what the four levels actually are) *What Paul prayed that matters so much more than health, money, or safety *The homework that will change the way you pray — starting this week *The story of Joni Eareckson Tada, who spent 50 years in a wheelchair and discovered the prayer that changed everything

In this episode of the Untrapped Podcast, Keith Kalfas sits down with Arwin Rahmatpanah, COO and co-founder of ReBolt HQ, an AI website and marketing platform built for home service pros. Keith shares his own experience using Rebolt to rebuild his outdated landscaping website into a professional, SEO-focused site that is now bringing in high-quality leads. He talks about recent jobs that came directly through the new website and how the platform has helped position his business in a more premium way online. Arwin breaks down why ReBolt was created, the problems many contractors face with slow agencies, expensive website builds, and DIY platforms, and how AI can now help business owners launch a strong online presence much faster. They also talk about local SEO, Google Business Profiles, reviews, social media posting, AI-generated blog content, call tracking, and why contractors need to stay ahead as homeowners begin using search engines and tools like ChatGPT to find local service providers.   "Success is not owned. It's leased, and rent is due every day." – Arwin Rahmatpanah   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why many home service businesses struggle with outdated websites and weak online presence How Rebolt uses AI to build SEO-optimized websites in minutes instead of weeks Why service pages, city pages, header tags, page speed, and mobile optimization matter for local rankings How Rebolt pulls real photos, reviews, and business details from Google Business Profiles and existing online assets How AI can turn job photos into social media captions and blog articles Why consistent reviews and review velocity can help businesses stay competitive on Google How call tracking and call summaries can help contractors understand and follow up with leads Why a professional website can attract more qualified customers and improve closing rates How AI tools can give small businesses more leverage without needing a full marketing agency Key Takeaways: AI can help contractors build a stronger online presence faster.. Instead of waiting weeks and spending thousands on a traditional website build, tools like ReBolt can use AI to create SEO-focused websites with service pages, city pages, reviews, real business photos, and optimized copy. Your Google Business Profile and reviews still matter a lot. Arwin explains that a strong digital presence is not just about having a nice website. Contractors also need consistent reviews, updated business information, and a healthy Google Business Profile to stay competitive in local search. AI works best when it helps business owners save time and take action. From social media posts and blog articles to review responses and call summaries, AI can remove a lot of the manual marketing work that contractors usually avoid or don't have time for.   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   Connect with Arwin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arwin-rahmatpanah/ Website: builtright.co   Resources and Websites:  Build Your Site: https://www.keithkalfas.com/ReBolt Call Tracking Software: https://www.keithkalfas.com/CallRail 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

Every time you make a real decision to change, your body has something to say about it. Not metaphorically. Physically. The cold that shows up out of nowhere. The old injury that comes back. The sciatica, the shoulder pain, the fatigue that hits right when things are starting to move. These aren't bad timing. They're the nervous system doing exactly what it was built to do: protect the identity you're leaving behind. I call it fear of moving on. Not fear of missing out. Fear of moving on. When you decide to stop tolerating what no longer works, whether that's a relationship, a habit, a version of yourself you've been defending too long, something in you resists. It's not weakness. It's biology. Your mind, body, and soul aren't always on the same page, and when they're split, the body keeps score. I developed a sinus drip right after making a major life decision. A client hit a wall, literally, and gave herself a black eye the week she committed to change. I had 16 weeks of sciatica so severe I couldn't walk or sit. None of it random. In this episode I walk through what that split actually looks like, why the symptoms show up when they do, and what to do instead of pushing through or shutting down. The answer isn't to fight it. It's to move toward it. Join the free community where we talk all about this: https://www.skool.com/massage-spa-pro  Episode Show Notes: https://kimguillory.com/podcast/body-breaks-down

What if the reason you're stuck isn't a lack of motivation... but the room you're sitting in? In this eye-opening episode of Level Up + Live, we uncover the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs, leaders, and high achievers never see coming: more information isn't the answer. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You've attended the conferences. So why does growth still feel so hard? After spending years building a successful insurance agency while quietly neglecting his health, relationships, and spiritual life, Sean shares the powerful lesson that changed everything. The breakthrough wasn't another strategy, course, or motivational speech. It was a complete shift in environment. Discover why the people around you, the conversations you engage in, and the rooms you spend time in are silently shaping your future every single day. Learn why motivation always fades, why isolation is more dangerous than most business owners realize, and how your current environment may be setting limits on your success without you even knowing it. From mastermind groups and leadership meetings to fitness communities and intentional family rhythms, you'll hear real-world examples of how strategic environments can become the launchpad for extraordinary growth. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or frustrated despite working harder than ever, this episode may completely change the way you think about personal development. The most dangerous environment isn't the worst one. It's the one you've become comfortable in. Press play and discover why you don't rise to your goals; you fall to your environment. Listen now and find out what may be holding you back from the next level of your life, business, leadership, marriage, health, and faith.

In today's episode, we discuss the booming longevity industry and ask the question, is it actually helping us, or just selling us a very expensive dream? We unpack the overwhelming noise of supplements, wearables, red light therapy, saunas, ice baths, and all the shiny wellness tools being marketed as the key to a longer, healthier life. We break down what the research actually says, who these things are genuinely useful for, and when they're simply a distraction from the basics that have always mattered most: sleep, nutrition, movement, and social connection. We also get into the role of social media in driving health misinformation, why the longevity space has become such a magnet for clickbait and clever marketing, and how to ask better questions before spending your money on the next big wellness trend.

Dan interviews John Karsant, founder of Level Up Leads, a 73-person outsourced SDR agency doing about $6.5M/year revenue, built while living abroad (Argentina, now Barcelona). John shares how he found remote work early via Craigslist, then spun out a list-building service that nearly failed due to one-off sales before pivoting into full appointment setting—eventually cold calling, which raised value, doubled average sale while keeping churn steady, and enabled $15K–$20K/month packages. He explains why radical honesty wins deals, how a strong ops leader and an in-house client dashboard improved transparency, and which metrics matter most (dial-to-connect, meetings booked, show rate, and pipeline movement). In this episode: John discusses hiring ahead of the curve How he compensates reps based on client retention The decline of email outreach John's inbound engine that drives 80–90% of leads Practical AI uses for role play training, transcript analysis, playbooks, and script generation The value of an experienced CEO coach John's approach to investing and family life Thanks to this week's sponsor Wayfront — the AI-ready operating system for productized agencies.

In this powerful Level Up conversation, Lo sits down with therapist, TED speaker, workplace wellbeing expert, and Working Well author Nidhi Tewari to unpack the hidden relationship dynamics affecting our workplaces, friendships, marriages, families, and everyday conversations.After experiencing grief and a work environment that lacked empathy and emotional safety, Nidhi began exploring what actually makes people feel seen, supported, motivated, and connected — and why so many of us are emotionally misattuned without even realizing it.Together, Lo and Nidhi dive into the science of attunement, emotional intelligence, leadership, communication, burnout, boundaries, and the subtle ways our responses can either strengthen or damage the people around us. They explore the different types of people we become when someone comes to us with a problem — the fixer, the relator, the supporter and why even well-intentioned advice can sometimes leave people feeling worse instead of better.With relatable stories, practical insight, and honest conversation, this episode challenges listeners to rethink how they show up for the people around them and themselves.Because leveling up isn't just about your body, your health, or your career.It's also about learning how to connect.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
