From Struggle To StrategyClifton Sellers' journey is a masterclass in resilience. From battling addiction and personal loss to building a thriving ghostwriting agency, his story is one of radical transformation. In this episode of Just Keep Learning, Clifton opens up about his darkest chapters, and how he used writing, therapy, and entrepreneurship to rewrite his life.We explore how he went from surviving trauma to helping others share their stories, and what it truly means to move from inspiration to execution.Writing As A LifelineClifton first found healing through journaling raw, unfiltered pages that helped him make sense of the chaos. Over time, writing became more than just self-expression. It became a service. He started helping others put their stories into words, and soon realized he had a gift not just for writing, but for understanding people.This evolved into a full-time ghostwriting business that empowers entrepreneurs to use storytelling as both strategy and therapy.Ghostwriting, Branding, and Agency BuildingToday, Clifton runs a successful ghostwriting agency, helping thought leaders turn their ideas into books, speeches, and brand-defining narratives. But it didn't start with a polished business plan. It started with asking one question: How can I serve with what I've been through?We break down how Clifton built his agency step by step, from DM outreach and landing his first clients, to scaling with systems and team building. He shares the real behind-the-scenes of what it takes to turn a personal skill into a sustainable business.Mental Health, Masculinity, and MeaningThis episode goes far beyond content strategy. Clifton speaks candidly about addiction, grief, fatherhood, and the pressure men face to "have it all together." We discuss the importance of therapy, the healing power of honest conversations, and why vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.His story reminds us that the path to success isn't linear and that our greatest pain can become our greatest platform.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsAuthenticity always beats polishYour story matters, no matter how messy it isDon't wait until it's perfect. Just start where you areWriting is a service. Help others express what they can'tEntrepreneurship starts with solving one real problem, for one person.Mental health is non-negotiable. Prioritize healing as much as hustle Memorable Quotes“You don't have to be healed to help.”“Writing is a mirror. The more honest you are, the more powerful it becomes.”“I didn't build a brand. I built a life that felt like me, and the brand followed.”“If you show up with service first, you'll always have a seat at the table.”Final Advice For CreatorsTurn your mess into your message. Someone out there needs to hear it. You don't have to be an expert, you just have to be honest. And if you don't know where to start? Write. It all starts with the pen, or pencil on the page.Guest BioClifton Sellers is a ghostwriter, storyteller, and founder of a growing agency that helps entrepreneurs turn their life experiences into powerful personal brands. After overcoming addiction, loss, and self-doubt, Clifton used writing to rebuild his life and now helps others do the same. He specializes in helping creatives and business leaders clarify their voice, craft their message, and publish work that inspires and converts.CHECK OUT THE JKL STORE FOR HELP MAKING YOUR BOOK, PODCAST AND BUSINESS DREAMS COME TRUE!FOLLOW JustinInstagram – @JustKeepLearning.CaYouTube –@justkeeplearningpodcastTwitter – @JustinNolan_JKLTiktok – @justkeeplearning.caPinterest – JustKeepLearningcaFacebook – JustKeepLearningLinkedIn – Justin I'm so happy you found this podcast.

In September 2024, I went in for my annual physical and everything seemed "fine". I had no aches or pains to complain of, yes, my clothes fit tighter than they had a year ago but I'm also on the verge of menopause. My body has changed and I didn't have any issues with that.However, all was not as it appeared. For the first time ever, I had elevated blood markers in EIGHT categories: liver enzymes (liver disease concern), all the cholesterols (heart disease concerns), hemoglobin A1C (diabetes concern), APOEB (cardiovascular disease). It was a serious wake-up call.My cholesterol has been inching up every year of perimenopause, so that wasn't completely unexpected, but I realized that it was pulling the rest of my good health along for the ride, so I decided to focus on the cholesterol and the A1C and hope the other things came down with it.ONE YEAR LATER...all but one of the markers is in a healthy zone and I weigh ten pounds less.In this episode, I talk about the small daily changes that have had an outsize impact for me!!! (I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. This is just my experience.)Next EpisodesNov 13, 2025: Interview with Flow Expert Diane AllenNov 20, 2025: A Chat with My FriendsNov 27, 2025: Planning for Holiday Leftovers (rebroadcast)Resources:-Get Organized 2026 https://tinyURL.com/getorganized2026 (watch the podcast for a special code for 25% off)-Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BYWDreams.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-My books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://TinyURL.com/BYWDbooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Community Is The Future: How To Win Without AlgorithmsGina Bianchini believes the future belongs to people who know how to bring people together. In this episode of Just Keep Learning, we dive deep into the power of digital communities, how to build a thriving membership business, and why creators should stop chasing followers and start creating spaces for transformation.As the founder of Mighty Networks, Gina has helped thousands of entrepreneurs—from yoga teachers to career coaches—build their own communities that are more than just audiences. She explains how anyone can turn their passion into a business by creating a community around purpose, identity, and results.From Silicon Valley To Mighty MovementsGina started her career in Silicon Valley during the early days of social media. But after co-founding Ning, she realized the real value wasn't in broadcasting, it was in belonging. That led her to launch Mighty Networks, a platform focused on giving creators the tools to build high-impact, high-value communities and online courses all in one place.We talk about her journey, the difference between superficial engagement and meaningful transformation, and why she believes the next wave of the internet is community-first, not content-first.Monetization Through CommunitySo many creators are told they need to go viral, build a huge following, and then maybe—just maybe—monetize with ads or sponsors. Gina offers a better path.She explains how to build a business that makes money by solving real problems for a specific group of people. Through memberships, courses, events, and community experiences, creators can start earning much earlier and more sustainably—without relying on algorithms or reach.Community Design & Business StrategyGina introduces the three key elements of Community Design:A clear purpose that aligns with transformationA specific identity that members aspire toA structured path that delivers resultsShe shares how to structure your community for engagement, scale your value, and guide your members through a journey that actually improves their lives.We also touch on mindset shifts, including why creators need to think like entrepreneurs, how to manage imposter syndrome, and the importance of leading with curiosity.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsBuild for belonging, not just attentionMonetization is about results, not reachStart small, but start with transformationSoft skills like storytelling, facilitation, and empathy are your superpowersThe platform you use should amplify your purpose, not distract from itDon't be afraid to niche down, because specificity scales Memorable Quotes“The future belongs to people who know how to bring people together.”“You don't need a million followers, you need a hundred people on a mission.”“Community is not about content. It's about transformation.”“Stop building funnels. Start building results.”Final Advice For CreatorsChoose your niche, find your purpose, and start building something real for real people.Your job isn't to entertain the algorithm—it's to lead a transformation. When you do that, everything else—income, impact, growth—will follow.Guest BioGina Bianchini is the founder and CEO of Mighty Networks, a platform that helps creators, coaches, and entrepreneurs build digital communities, memberships, and courses. A Silicon Valley veteran and co-founder of Ning, Gina's mission is to help people create meaningful movements online by bringing people together with purpose. She's a leading voice in the community-building space and a champion of independent creators everywhere.CHECK OUT THE JKL STORE FOR HELP MAKING YOUR BOOK, PODCAST AND BUSINESS DREAMS COME TRUE!FOLLOW JustinInstagram – @JustKeepLearning.CaYouTube –@justkeeplearningpodcastTwitter – @JustinNolan_JKLTiktok – @justkeeplearning.caPinterest – JustKeepLearningcaFacebook – JustKeepLearningLinkedIn – Justin I'm so happy you found this podcast.

This episode originally aired on April 5, 2021 (Episode 240), and I'm bringing it back because so many of you said it gave you the clarity you didn't know you needed. If you're feeling stuck in your career or wondering whether there's something more fulfilling out there for you, this conversation is worth revisiting. So many people come to me at a professional crossroads. On paper, things look fine — good job, steady paycheck — but inside, they're wrestling with harder questions: Is this what I'm meant to be doing? Where's the meaning? And what would it actually look like to feel passionate about my work? Finding your passion isn't about flipping a switch. It's about understanding how you got here, untangling what's yours from what you were told to want, and designing a career that aligns with who you are now. In this episode, we're talking about how to get unstuck, how to reflect with purpose, and how to move forward, even when it feels like there are a thousand possible directions and no clear right answer. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Getting Unstuck When You Have Too Many Options 05:12 Career Crossroads: How to Navigate Paralysis and Indecision 11:08 Life Design vs. Job Search: Shifting How We Think About Career 18:39 Finding Your Passion by Reflecting on the Past 27:26 The “Quarter-Life” Crossroads: Making Sense of How You Got Here 30:12 Burnout or Misalignment? How to Tell the Difference 34:45 The 10-Year Vision Exercise That Brings Long-Term Clarity 36:44 Why Big Career Decisions Shouldn't Happen During Burnout We cover how early life influences, past roles, and even burnout shape your career path, often without you realizing it. And we'll help you figure out whether you need a new job or a new perspective on the one you already have. What if you stopped pushing through and started getting curious? What would it feel like to move toward a career that fits you, not just the version of you who started years ago? If you're feeling ready to find your passion and design a career that actually fits, I'd love to support you as you start taking clear, doable steps. Through my Career Clarity Intensive, you can have clarity and confidence about the right next step for you, how to grow professionally and attain what you really want, and actualize the fullness of your potential in your career! The first step: join me for a free coaching call to design your next chapter. Here's the link to register. And if you want to keep this conversation going beyond the podcast, come find me on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. I'm always sharing tools and insights to help you build a life and career that reflect your values and your worth. And if something from this episode sparked something for you, I'd love to hear how you're making sense of your path. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

From Adversity to OptimismAlin Dragu grew up in a chaotic household, one of seven kids in a Romanian immigrant family trying to make it in America. The odds weren't in his favor, but instead of letting that define him, he built a life anchored in optimism, storytelling, and helping others.In this episode of Just Keep Learning, we dive into the mindset shifts that changed Alin's life, how he navigated difficult conversations, and why he believes daily writing is the most powerful tool for personal growth and career clarity.Teaching Life Design Through Soft SkillsIf Alin were to build a school for his younger self, the curriculum wouldn't start with accounting or marketing. It would begin with soft skills, especially optimism.We talk about the power of surrounding yourself with positive people, how to attract more good into your life, and why emotional resilience matters more than any hard skill. Alin shares how gratitude and optimism helped him design a life filled with purpose, creativity, and love.The Jonah On Your BoatOne of the most memorable moments in this episode is Alin's retelling of the Jonah story, a metaphor (and true story) he uses to explain the importance of removing negativity from your life. Whether it's a toxic friend, a pessimistic coworker, or even your own mindset, sometimes you need to “throw Jonah off the boat” to restore peace and progress.This story is a powerful lens for reevaluating your relationships and creating boundaries with people who drain your energy.Building A Business Around WritingAlin didn't start out knowing he'd become a copywriter. He tried photography, video, logos, and websites before realizing writing was his true “unfair advantage” (the thing that felt like play but created real results.)He now writes emails daily to his growing list, teaches others how to find their voice, and takes on client work that aligns with his values. His success came not from forcing a niche, but from following what lit him up and staying consistent.Storytelling, Copywriting, and Content StrategyAlin breaks down two of his favorite storytelling tricks. These approaches remove stiffness and help you write like a real human being, something Alin believes is essential whether you're writing emails, sales pages, or social posts.The Coffee Test: How would you tell this story to a friend over coffee?The Two-Wine Test: What would you say if you were two glasses of wine deep?Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsWith all this stuff, just be more humanFind your unfair advantage (talent + joy)You are the average of who you give your attention toWrite daily to your audience, build momentum, clarity and connectionDon't be afraid to “throw Jonah off the boat” and curate your communityYou don't need permission to be multi-passionate, be you, but build businessDifficult conversations are hard, but they're never as bad as you think, and they're worth itIt doesn't have to be perfect—just personal, helpful, and honest. That's how you build trust. That's how you build a life.Stop waiting to be ready. Write the email. Tell the story. Share the thing. Every day.Memorable Quotes“Find the good, and the good will find you.”“You are the captain of your boat. And some people are bringing the storm with them.”“If you document your journey, you'll never run out of content. And someone will always thank you for it.”“Your unfair advantage is the thing that feels like play but works like leverage.”Guest BioAlin Dragu is a copywriter (aka the “copygoat”), storyteller, and marketer who helps creators build real businesses through powerful writing. With a background in marketing and ministry, he blends personal stories with copy strategies that actually convert. He's known for his optimistic energy, punchy storytelling, and a commitment to help people write in their truest voice, every single day. CHECK OUT THE JKL STORE FOR HELP MAKING YOUR BOOK, PODCAST AND BUSINESS DREAMS COME TRUE!FOLLOW JustinInstagram – @JustKeepLearning.CaYouTube –@justkeeplearningpodcastTwitter – @JustinNolan_JKLTiktok – @justkeeplearning.caPinterest – JustKeepLearningcaFacebook – JustKeepLearningLinkedIn – Justin I'm so happy you found this podcast.

Die stärkste Kraft in dir: Dein Selbstbild Tony Robbins sagt: „Die stärkste Kraft in der menschlichen Persönlichkeit ist das Bedürfnis beständig zu bleiben, in der Art und Weise, wie wir uns selbst definieren.“ Doch was bedeutet das eigentlich für eine berufliche Veränderung?

Jeff Lerner went from a jazz musician to generating over $100 million in online sales. After multiple failed ventures and $500,000 in debt, he discovered digital business, paid off his debt in 18 months, and built multiple 8-figure companies, twice landing on the Inc. 5000. His journey inspired him to educate others, leading to the creation of ENTRE Institute, one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial education platforms with over 250,000 students, and Entresoft, a top small business software suite. Jeff is the author of Unlock Your Potential (Penguin Random House, 2022), a Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestseller, and the host of Unlock Your Potential, a top 1.5% global podcast featuring leading entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders. His message revolves around the "3 Ps of Success"—Physical, Personal, and Professional—helping people reshape their lives through entrepreneurship. A sought-after speaker and content creator, Jeff continues to expand his reach through speaking engagements, media appearances, and digital content. He is a devoted husband and father of four, crediting much of his success to his marriage. Despite his busy schedule, he still plays the piano for an hour daily.   During the show we discussed: From jazz musician to 8-figure entrepreneur Overcoming $500K in debt and rebuilding success Myths and misconceptions about making money online The creation of the “Life Design” philosophy Why ENTRE Institute achieves 63X higher success rates The “3 Ps of Success” framework for a balanced life Breaking self-limiting beliefs to unlock potential Resources: https://designyourlife.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@lifedesignwithjefflerner

In this episode of Just Keep Learning, Josh Spector joins Justin Nolan to talk about simplifying content creation, building an audience around your ideas, and turning your expertise into income. Whether you're just starting out or already building a creative business, Josh offers clear, practical insights that cut through the noise.From Comedy Clubs To Content StrategyJosh didn't set out to become a marketing expert. He started in the world of entertainment—working in comedy clubs, managing talent, and learning how to engage audiences. That hands-on experience led him to roles in digital strategy, where he helped brands and creators grow their platforms using content and community.Now, he runs multiple newsletters, consults creators and businesses, and continues to teach people how to grow an audience of buyers—not just followers.Focus On The Right PeopleOne of Josh's core principles is this: Stop chasing everyone. Start speaking to someone.He encourages creators to focus on their “ideal person”—a concept that goes beyond basic demographics and gets into mindset, problems, and dreams. Josh explains how this single shift can improve your writing, positioning, products, and overall business growth.The Simplest Funnel You'll Ever SeeJosh breaks down a content strategy that works for solo creators who don't want to spend every minute online. His system revolves around:Attracting the right people through value-driven contentOffering simple products or services that help those peopleRepeating what works while staying true to your voiceForget fancy funnels and endless ads. Josh proves that consistency, clarity, and simplicity still work.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsWrite for one person. Always.Your content should be useful, entertaining, or both.Don't overcomplicate your offers. Make them easy to say yes to.Focus on transformation: What change are you helping people make?You don't need a huge audience. You need the right audience.Memorable Quotes“Your goal isn't to go viral. Your goal is to become valuable.”“The people who pay attention are telling you what they want—if you're listening.”“You can't scale chaos. So get clear, get simple, and then grow.”Final Advice For CreatorsDon't try to be everywhere. Don't try to do everything. Find the overlap between what you're great at, what your audience needs, and what you enjoy—and build from there.Connect With Josh Spectorjoshspector.comFor The Interested newsletterPodcast: I Want To KnowTwitter/X: @jspectorGuest BioJosh Spector is a content strategist, writer, and consultant who helps creative entrepreneurs grow their audience and income.

From psychologist to business strategist — Gail Golden shares her journey of curating life and leadership, helping overwhelmed leaders focus on what truly matters while scaling businesses with clarity and purpose. In this episode of the She Leads podcast, host Adrienne welcomes Gail Golden, a seasoned coach, psychologist, and author of Curating Your Life. Drawing from her experience supporting executives and entrepreneurs, Gail introduces her framework for designing life as a personal exhibit — prioritizing what's essential, discarding distractions, and embracing “good enough” in areas outside one's true passions. Gail reflects on her leap into entrepreneurship during the 2009 financial crisis, sharing lessons on adaptability, competitive positioning, and evolving strategies from startup survival to million-dollar growth. She underscores the importance of delegation, reminding leaders to focus only on what only they can do — whether in business or in personal roles like parenting and caregiving. The conversation also explores the hidden costs of over-responsiveness, the mental barriers that hold leaders back, and the dangers of comparing private struggles to others' public appearances. Gail highlights the power of self-awareness, managing inner critics, and working with a coach who blends business expertise with psychological insight. With warmth and wisdom, Gail invites listeners to re-curate their lives as priorities shift, embrace meaningful relationships, and find strength in conscious choices. Hopefully, her insights will leave you inspired to design the next chapter of your life with intention and courage. Ready to rethink how you're curating your own life and leadership? Tune in to be inspired by Gail Golden's story and practical framework for success! Chapters

Meet Baiba Wisse, a multi-passionate creative from Raleigh, North Carolina, who spent a decade in global talent acquisition before life handed her a plot twist: a layoff. While she was still working in recruiting, Baiba discovered her favorite part of the job wasn't the spreadsheets or the scheduling, it was the human connection. She loved coaching candidates, hearing their career stories, and helping people see their own potential.That passion inspired her to start her own podcast, The Career in Technicolor, where she interviews people about their career journeys in living color. But when the layoff hit, she found herself in that all-too-familiar “what now?” moment.Instead of sitting still (because that's not her style), Baiba leaned into her creative energy, painting, cooking, cleaning, and trying new things. She also followed her curiosity into movement and stress relief, recently earning her Tai Chi instructor certification. Now, she's on a mission to bring Tai Chi into corporate settings, helping teams manage stress, move more, and age well.I met Baiba early in my own podcasting journey, and we've been swapping ideas and cheering each other on ever since. She's been a generous supporter, a creative sounding board, and now I'm flipping the mic so you can hear her story.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Baiba turned a layoff into an opportunity to explore new passions Why coaching and human connection were the most rewarding parts of her recruiting career The creative outlets that kept her moving forward during a career pivot How Tai Chi can help reduce stress and support well-being in and out of the workplace The joy (and challenges) of podcasting about other people's career journeysConnect with BaibaConnect with Baiba on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bwisse/ Listen to The Career in TechnicolorApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-in-technicolor/id1584835608Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/034sss7E8ncD5RewpqkwZJ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolor/  Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

Excellence doesn't require obsession—it requires integration. We've all heard the advice: focus on one thing, say no to everything else, single-minded purpose is the path to success. Books like Gary Keller's The One Thing and Greg McKeown's Essentialism make a powerful case for focus. But what happens when that focus becomes obsession? In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate unpacks the dark side of a single-minded pursuit—burnout, isolation, and the crushing disappointment of reaching the “top” only to find it lonely. Drawing on insights from Benjamin Hardy, research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, and real-world examples from Yo-Yo Ma to Venus Williams, Kate makes the case for a different kind of excellence. One rooted in balance, relationships, and impact. You'll learn: Why obsession is not the same as excellence. How even your biggest achievements can feel hollow without integration. The critical role relationships and contribution play in long-term fulfillment. Practical strategies for pursuing excellence without sacrificing everything else. If you've ever felt the pressure to “go all in” on one singular purpose—or if you've achieved success but still feel something's missing—this episode is for you. Tales from The Lane is the podcast for high achievers and successful creatives who want more than just accomplishments—they want a deeply fulfilling life.

The life you've been dreaming of, the reality you've been hoping for, the existence you've been working toward, isn't something you need to create in the future, but something you can step into right now. The distance between your current experience and your ultimate reality isn't measured in years or effort, but simply in the willingness to shift your consciousness from one dimensional frequency to another. In this episode you will live a complete day in your ultimate reality. Not as someone observing from the outside, but as someone inhabiting that reality from the inside. You're going to wake up, move through an entire day, and go to sleep as the version of yourself who has everything they've ever wanted. This is reality rehearsal. This is your nervous system learning what it feels like to operate from fulfillment rather than lack, from abundance rather than scarcity, from joy rather than struggle. The reason this activation is so powerful is that your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between a vividly experienced inner reality and an actual outer experience. When you fully immerse yourself in the feeling of living your ultimate life, your nervous system begins to operate from that frequency. Your energy field begins to broadcast that signature. Your consciousness begins to attract experiences that match that vibration.

Send us a textOkay so… you know how you sometimes hear someone drop a sentence like, “Oh, I can't make it that week; I'll be racing horses across Mongolia,” and you're like WAIT WHAT NOW? That's basically been me for years every time my friend Callie King casually mentions her life.So in this episode, I finally scratch that itch and go full nosy bitch mode. Because Callie is one of those people who lives so boldly and so intentionally that you kinda want to hate her, except she's also really chill and generous and has zero ego about it. Like, this woman has lived in a Chevy Tracker with her dog, owns multiple income properties, built an adobe house in Mexico by hand, and manifested a partner straight off her dream board. And she makes it all look effortless.But here's the thing. None of this happened because she was born rich or “just lucky.” It's mindset. It's values. It's choosing freedom over fear, again and again and again.We talk about how to make bold, “unreasonable” choices even when your bank account says nope, how to check yourself when you're operating from hustle-and-grind scarcity mode, and what it actually means to create a life that feels like yours.This episode is a wake-up call, but like, the loving kind. The kind with pancakes and a puppy and a side of "You're capable of so much more than this."What's Inside:How Callie built a wildly unconventional life (without a trust fund or tech-bro energy)Why your mindset around money might be what's actually keeping you stuckThe difference between taking action from fear vs. fun (and why it matters)What it really looks like to manifest a partner (hint: she didn't just light a candle and hope)So, yeah. If you've been dreaming about selling everything, living in a treehouse, or just getting the hell out of a life that no longer fits, this might be the episode you didn't know you needed.Spoiler alert: You don't need a five-year plan. You just need to start.Mentioned In This Episode:HorseClass on FacebookHorseClass on InstagramCallie on InstagramByron Katie's “The Work”Dr. Joe DispenzaOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

"Chase passion, not pension" - but how do you actually figure out what you love?Robin Speculand nailed this. At 34, he was making VP money at Citibank — but still didn't know what his "passion" was.So he did something most of us never do: He stepped off the treadmill and took time to reflect.On a beach, he asked himself: What have I truly enjoyed?What gave me energy? What problems do I see that others miss?That's when it clicked. Every company had a strategy. But 9 out of 10 failed at implementation. Nobody was solving this. It was a blue ocean.His passion wasn't "helping people" or "being a founder." It was this specific, unsexy problem everyone ignored.

I've been thinking a lot about prioritizing lately, mostly because I've been shifting the way I prioritize things in my life the last few months. My priorities desperately needed to change so that work wasn't always #1, and I wasn't always chasing an endless to-do list of busywork.Because “when you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don't just get more done, you get the right things done. And that's the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one.” - Greg McKeown.So today's quickie reveals how to break free from the cult of busyness and master the art of prioritization using productivity minimalism principles inspired by Greg McKeown best-selling book, Essentialism. We dive into why you're focusing on urgent tasks instead of important priorities, along with actionable strategies to create a more meaningful, intentional life. I break down The Law of Inverse Prioritization, which explains why the most important things in life (health, relationships, personal growth) often get neglected while urgent but meaningless tasks consume all of our time and energy.Tune in to hear:Productivity minimalism strategies for focusing on high-impact activitiesThe difference between urgent and importantTime management tricks through intentional prioritizationWork-life balance and escaping the busyness addiction cycleMy priorities in this season of life (Burnout prevention, relationships, writing and health)Time blocking techniques for non-negotiable important activities3 key questions for your prioritization and decision-making frameworkOrganizing your life around purpose and impactResources mentioned:Greg McKeown's Instagram videoGreg's book and academy on EssentialismFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Come meet Vince and the SPF Team at his Live Mastermind Event, July 18-19. Tickets are selling fast. Click below to learn more:https://events.vincegabriele.com/july2025 In this episode of Business Secrets for Gym Owners, Vince shares a powerful, real-time example of leveraging joint ventures to grow a gym business. He walks through a coaching session with a new gym owner launching from his garage to his first gym location, tapping into a golden partnership opportunity with his wife's dance studio. Vince breaks down the email campaign he personally wrote for this joint venture, highlighting the storytelling, offer structure, and copywriting nuances that make it effective. He also dives into using ChatGPT to generate hyperlocal joint venture lists, emphasizing that while ads are great, nothing beats the power of strategic alliances. The episode wraps up with a passionate pitch for the upcoming July Mastermind event and a heartfelt message about personal growth, mindset, and building a business that creates freedom. 5 Key Points:The Power of Hyperlocal Joint Ventures:Vince showcases a live example of partnering with a dance school (owned by the gym owner's wife) to drive pre-sale signups, proving that trusted community relationships can outperform cold ads.Crafting Irresistible Offers Through Storytelling:He shares the exact email he wrote in the wife's voice, using humor, relatability, and scarcity to make the offer compelling (75% discount for the dance school's parents).ChatGPT as a Business Development Tool:Vince gives his exact ChatGPT prompt to generate a highly targeted list of potential joint venture partners, making the once tedious "angel list" process much faster and more productive.Strategic Partnerships Trump Paid Ads Alone:While paid ads are useful, Vince drives home that joint ventures often bring in higher-quality leads, better conversion rates, and stronger community ties.It's About More Than Just Business Growth:The episode closes with a heartfelt reminder that gym ownership is about creating a better life—more freedom, more involvement with family, and becoming the best version of yourself, not just stacking cash. Come meet Vince and the SPF Team at his Live Mastermind Event, July 18-19.

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity.
