Most painters don't get what they want because they never actually decide what they want. They live in the "gray zone" — surviving, reacting, putting out fires — and wonder why the business keeps hitting the same ceiling.In this live coaching episode, Coach Jesse sits down with Damon, owner of On a Roll Painting, fresh off a record month: nearly $100K in April after doing $325K all of last year. On the surface it's a huge win. Underneath, there's a ceiling — a five-year vision he can picture but can't quite commit to, and the fear that shows up the moment he says it out loud.What follows is a real breakthrough, no script and no theory. Jesse walks Damon through the magic wand exercise to call out a specific number, confront the fear of success hiding behind the fear of failure, and step into the identity of the owner he's becoming — the one running a multi-million dollar business mostly hands-off, with the team, the systems, and the freedom to actually live.If you're a painting business owner stuck between survival and the vision you keep putting off, this one's for you.Inside this episode:Why getting specific beats staying "realistic"The magic wand exercise to unlock your real five-year visionFear of success vs. fear of failure, and why both keep you on the start lineHow the "$5M owner" version of you actually makes decisionsThe "on a roll" token: a simple way to interrupt stress and stay in momentumWhy your team only matches half your energy, and what that means for how you show upTrusting the next step instead of demanding the whole roadmap

I've been wanting to introduce you to these two for a while now.Chelsea and Emily are two of my favorite people on the planet. They're funny, they're real, they're the kind of women who walk into a room and make everyone feel like they belong. And the moment I started getting to know them, I felt like I'd known them my entire life.But what brought us here — to this couch, to this conversation — is their story. And it's one I think a lot of people need to hear.Both Chelsea and Emily were married to men. Both were navigating life inside a religious community. Both had kids. And both, later in life, discovered something about themselves that changed everything.They came out. And in doing so, they had to lose a lot — their marriages, their identities, their communities — to finally become who they actually were.Freedom isn't free. And this episode is proof of that.This is not just a story about sexuality. It's about what it costs to live honestly. It's about the loneliness of going through something no one around you seems to understand. It's about finding the people who have walked your same road. And it's about what you find on the other side of the hardest thing you've ever done.I walked away from this conversation different. More compassionate. More open. More convinced than ever that the path to real freedom almost always runs straight through the thing you're most afraid of.If you've ever had to lose something — or burn something down — to finally find yourself... this one is for you.We talk about:What it actually feels like to come out later in life — with kids, a marriage, and a whole identity on the lineHow your story can get told for you before you're readyThe loneliness of going through something no one around you has experiencedFinding your people — the ones who have walked your exact roadWhat it means to finally stop performing your lifeHow going through hard things makes you less judgmental and more humanRaising kids inside non-traditional families with love, safety, and zero shame"I reserve the right to change and evolve" — and why that's not weakness, it's growthThere's so much laughter in this episode. There's rawness. There are moments that gave me chills. And there are things these two said that I'm still thinking about.This is one of my favorites I've ever recorded. I think you're going to love them as much as I do.Welcome back to Heidi's Lane. ❤️Here are the key moments from the episode:00:00 Why This Episode Hits Different 03:14 How Four Strangers Became Inseparable 07:29 Chelsea's Obsession She Couldn't Explain 12:41 Losing Control of Your Own Coming Out Story 18:06 Navigating Divorce, Kids, and Each Other Simultaneously 23:28 Why Emily Kept Saying No to Everything 28:45 Hell Fast-Tracks You to Your Real Friends 34:03 Meeting Someone Who Has Lived Your Exact Life 38:51 The Treadmill Snub That Almost Ended It All 43:17 How Kids Handle Non-Traditional Families Better Than Adults 47:04 Creating a Home Other People's Kids Run To 51:02 The One Phrase That Changes How You Parent 55:30 The People Judging You Are Living It on Delay 59:57 The Airport Security Guard Who Pushed Too Far 01:04:33 The Space Between Reaction and Response 01:09:14 Why Heidi Is Launching a Women's Supplement Line Connect with Heidi:Website: https://heidipowell.net/Email: podcast@heidipowell.netInstagram: @realheidipowellFacebook: Heidi PowellYouTube: @RealHeidiPowellTrain with Heidi on her Show Up App: https://www.showupfit.app/Connect with Emily and Chelsea:Instagram: @em_moves14
What does it really take to build a successful business without losing yourself, your team, or your culture in the process?In this episode of the Better Than Best Academy, I sit down with Todd Crosey, founder of Silver Sun Consulting and a business leader with over 30 years of experience in finance, operations, leadership, and scaling companies. Todd shares how he helped grow The Cleaning Authority Fishers from around $1.8 million to over $4 million by focusing on something many businesses overlook: people.We talk about the difference between healthy growth and toxic growth, why culture is often the hidden driver of profitability, and how leaders can create workplaces where people actually care about the work they do.Todd also shares powerful lessons about:How success can expose what is really happening inside a leaderWhy toxic workplace culture destroys growthHow rewarding the right behaviors can transform a teamWhy people usually do not leave companies — they leave bad bossesHow systems can create freedom instead of more pressureWhy caring for your team can directly improve your bottom lineHow to build something meaningful without burning outIf you are a business owner, entrepreneur, leader, manager, or someone building something God placed in your heart, this conversation will challenge the way you think about success, leadership, culture, and growth.Connect with Todd Crosey:Website: https://www.silversunconsulting.comJoin the Better Than Best Academy community:https://www.skool.com/better-than-best-academy-5909/aboutSubscribe for more conversations on faith, leadership, business, purpose, and living better than best.WHO AM IHey, I'm Red Wallace, a former rapper(10 year career) current drummer turned personal development coach.

Nobody hands you a list of your core values. You have to go find them. In this episode of Move Faster, Jake shares the four core values he lives and works by — not because they looked good on a wall, but because he had to think for the first time about what actually mattered to him.He starts with competence — the one his parents drilled into him from day one — and breaks down the three-step framework he pulled from The Way to Happiness: look, learn, practice. No shortcuts. No skipping steps. Just doing the work.Then he makes the case for having fun, which sounds obvious until you watch people stress themselves into misery over things that, in his words, don't require a 911 call. From his wife's TikTok content to his brother's wedding, Jake keeps coming back to the same question: can we make this a game?From there: communication. Always more, never less. And delivered with the right tone — because how you say it matters just as much as saying it at all.And finally, the one that took the longest to learn — lead with respect and admiration. Not liking. Not agreeing. Just respect. He calls it the ultimate superpower, especially with people who've wronged you.In this episode:The 3-step framework for becoming genuinely competent at your craftWhy "have fun" is actually a serious value, not a throwaway lineHow communication creates problems — and why the only fix is more communicationThe difference between liking someone and respecting them (and why it changes everything)Why you need to know your values before you can hold anyone else to a standard

When Jenn Thatcher's son was diagnosed with a brain tumor, one of only 26 documented cases in the world, she went home and audited every "clean" product her family was using. What she found in her toothpaste and deodorant became the foundation for Zebra, a wellness brand built on custom formulations, third-party testing, and black and white ingredients.In this conversation, Jenn and I get into the science behind hydroxyapatite (and why she pulled her own approved formulation a year into development), the difference between micro and nano particles, the industry-funded studies most consumers never look at, and why heavy metals in natural toothpaste aren't the scandal the internet wants you to believe. We also talk about the realities of manufacturing a truly custom product and why Zebra makes consumer-first decisions.If you've ever been duped by a nontoxic product, this one is for you.What We Cover:Jenn's backstory: clean living since high school, her son's diagnosis, and the audit that started ZebraThe difference between micro- and nano-hydroxyapatiteWhy micro-hydroxyapatite may block your saliva's own remineralization systemNano particles and the blood-brain barrier, and why "industry-funded" mattersHow to read research: always start with the declaration of interestFluoride concerns and the pineal glandThe truth about heavy metals in natural products, and the affiliate ecosystem profiting from panicProp 65 compliance and what it actually meansPolyester floss and microplastic exposure at the gum lineHow "clean" and "natural" labels are unregulated by the FDALake dyes hidden in color index numbers (and why the Switch Natural app catches them)Carmine, "natural" pigments, and what's really in your lipstickJenn's advice for parents navigating a serious diagnosisTimestamps:00:00 — Welcome + introducing Jenn Thatcher00:30 — Jenn's son's diagnosis and the moment that changed everything05:00 — Auditing the products in her home06:30 — When hydroxyapatite started to feel off12:30 — The story behind the name "Zebra"17:30 — "There will never be a better researcher than a mother whose child was harmed by the system"20:30 — The mouthwash that almost shipped, and why she walked away23:00 — The full breakdown on micro- vs. nano-hydroxyapatite27:30 — Reading research: declaration of interest first30:30 — Fluoride and the pineal gland33:00 — Clean washing: front of label vs. back of label35:00 — Why polyester floss is a microplastic problem37:00 — Inside Zebra's testing process38:30 — Heavy metals: the real story42:00 — Why staying independent (no outside investors) matters45:30 — Lake dyes, carmine, and the lipstick problem46:30 — What's coming next from Zebra49:30 — Where to find Jenn and ZebraConnect with Jenn + Zebra:Website: yayzebra.comInstagram: @zebra.usaUse code SWITCHNATURAL for a discount on your orderConnect with Andrea + Switch Natural:App: Switch Natural (iOS + Android) https://switchnatural.onelink.me/uZpY/sw1Instagram: @switch.naturalWebsite: switchnatural.comA note on the Zebra Toothpaste and the Switch Natural App:If you scan the Zebra Toothpaste in the Switch Natural App, you'll see the ingredient "flavor" flagged. I want to be transparent about why: "flavor" can sometimes be a generic term that masks undisclosed synthetic compounds, which is why the app flags it. In this case, Jenn confirmed that the flavor used is organic and that every component is naturally derived, disclosed to her, and vetted. The app is doing its job of flagging a potentially risky ingredient, and this disclosure is the brand doing theirs. Both matter, and that nuance is something the app's automated scan can't capture on its own.Help spread the word.

The Best Kind of Faith starts with a question that gets personal fast: If your life is a commercial, what are you advertising? This message invites you to move beyond a faith that only believes and into the kind of faith that actually does what Jesus says.If your spiritual life has felt stagnant, routine, or disconnected, this message from Luke 3 will help you rediscover what real faith looks like. Through the bold words of John the Baptist, we see that the best kind of faith isn't performative, comfortable, or checkbox religion—it's active, practical, and lived out in the way you love people every day.You'll discover:Why belief is the starting line, not the finish lineHow real faith shows up in practical love and generosityWhat keeps your faith from becoming stagnant or lifelessWhy deep faith is built through deep actions, not just deep teachingThe one prayer that can change how you follow Jesus this weekThis message is for anyone who's been asking, “Why does my faith feel stuck?” or “How do I actually grow?” The answer may be simpler—and more challenging—than you think: ask God, “What should I do?” and then follow through.Because the best kind of faith is not the version that asks, “What's in it for me?” It's the kind that trusts Jesus enough to obey, even when it's uncomfortable. That's where growth happens. That's where you encounter God. And that's the kind of faith that changes the world.
Your body was never the barrier.... but the way you've been taught to think about it might be.In this chat I'm sharing something I've intentionally stayed quiet about for a long time… my body, my weight, and why I don't share the details of “how” I've lost it.Not because I'm hiding something but because I've seen how harmful that conversation can be.We live in a world that feels entitled to comment on women's bodies. To analyze them. To assign meaning to them. To decide what they say about your discipline, your success, your worth.And I'm just not open to that.This chat is a deeper, more honest look at what it actually means to navigate body changes in a very visible life… and the mindset that's allowed me to show up in every version of myself without waiting to “arrive” first.We're talking about weight loss, yes… but more importantly, we're talking about self-trust, autonomy, and what it looks like to like your body in every season. We chat about:The truth about weight loss and why almost everything “works”Why body image struggles often have nothing to do with your actual bodyThe pressure women face to look a certain way before they're taken seriouslyHow body commentary online can quickly cross the lineHow to approach your own health journey in a way that actually supports youThe mindset shift that changed how I show up in every version of my bodyIf you've been stuck in the cycle of “I'll feel confident when…” or “I'll show up when…,” I hope this chat gives you permission to do it now.Connect with Nicole:On her *new* Substack: https://nicolewaltersofficial.substack.com/On Threads: https://threads.net/nicolewaltersWATCH Tell Me More: http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeEpisode Sponsor:Try Gusto today at gusto.com/NICOLE, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An absolute must-listen if you're serious about scaling your product business profitably.While I'm on maternity leave, I'm re-airing some of the most impactful Buyerside Chat episodes, and this one dives into one of the most important (and hardest) skills you'll ever learn as a product-based business owner: the ability to edit your product line without emotion.When your business is small, creativity leads the way, and that's a beautiful thing. But when you're growing, scaling, and reinvesting back into inventory, emotion can quietly become one of your biggest profit killers.In this episode, I'm breaking down how buyers actually think when they evaluate assortments, and how you can start making decisions like a CEO instead of an artist, creator, maker or new boutique owner who's emotionally attached to every product.We talk about why having too many SKUs hurts conversion, how to identify what's driving the majority of your revenue, and how editing your collection can instantly improve cash flow, margins, and clarity - for both you and your customers.If you've ever:Felt overwhelmed by how many products you carryStruggled to let go of a once-beloved bestsellerWondered why sales feel stagnant despite adding more SKUsOr felt stuck between creativity and profitabilityThis episode will give you the framework and the confidence that you need to edit with intention.In this episode, we cover:Why editing is one of the most important buyer skills you can learnHow emotion sneaks into product decisions (and how to remove it)Why fewer choices often lead to higher conversionThe 80/20 rule and how it applies to your product lineHow to identify “dead weight” SKUs in your assortmentWhy bestsellers sometimes need to replace—not sit next to—older productsHow edited collections improve profit, clarity, and buyer confidenceWhen more SKUs make sense (and when they absolutely don't)Enjoy the chat!

In this episode of The Segment, Raghu sits down with Ross Haleliuk—Co-Founder & CEO of a stealth startup, author of Cyber for Builders, and host of Inside the Network and Venture in Security to unpack why most security failures aren't caused by a lack of tools, but by a failure to execute the fundamentals.Ross brings a pragmatic, business-first lens to cybersecurity, cutting through hype, buzzwords, and so-called “silver bullets” to focus on what actually works in the real world. Together, they explore why breaches still happen even in organizations that invest heavily in security and why that investment still matters.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why most cyber breaches still come down to security fundamentals, not next-gen toolsWhy cybersecurity has become a “market for silver bullets”—and what that means for buyers and vendorsHow misaligned incentives across engineering, IT, sales, and security undermine long-term securityWhy compliance should be treated as a baseline, not the finish lineHow to think about security ROI in a way executives actually understandHow to evaluate AI in cybersecurity without getting lost in the hypeWhy security leaders must learn to lead without authority, similar to product managersWhat gives Ross optimism about the future of cybersecurity heading into 2026
Awakening is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, Brett and Joe finally tackle the topic head-on after 150 episodes of addressing it indirectly. They explore why awakening isn't a goal in the Art of Accomplishment work, what actually happens when people wake up, and why it might be both far bigger and far smaller than you imagine.They discuss:What awakening actually is (and isn't)Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and how they differWhy making awakening a goal can slow down the processThe myth that awakening is a finish lineHow meditation can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for dissociationWhy awakened people still have daddy issuesWhat to do if awakening catches you off guardResource Mentioned:Doing Nothing by Stephen Harrison Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if building a great culture isn't about perks, personalities, or one big initiative—but about the small, intentional choices leaders make every single day?In this episode of the LeadCulture Podcast, Jenni Catron sits down with Anthony Lambatos, President of Footers Catering & Events and founder of MIBE (Make It Better Every Day), to unpack what it really takes to create a workplace where people thrive—and why culture must be treated as a daily discipline, not a one-time project.Anthony shares the behind-the-scenes story of transforming Footers from a high-stress, old-school hospitality environment into one of the most recognized “Best Places to Work” in Colorado. Along the way, he reveals the pivotal mindset shift that changed everything: realizing his job wasn't just to run events—it was to create an environment where people could do their best work and grow as humans.Together, Jenni and Anthony explore:Why serving your people first leads to better results for customers, clients, and the bottom lineHow leaders unintentionally stall culture by hoping it will “stick” without ongoing focusThe four convictions that shaped Footers' culture—and how they show up in real, practical waysWhy language, onboarding, and everyday behaviors matter more than perks or benefitsHow leaders at every level can (and must) take ownership of protecting the cultureIf you're a leader who feels the gap between the culture you want and the one you're currently experiencing, this conversation offers both clarity and hope. You don't need a complete overhaul—you need one intentional step forward.Because great cultures aren't built overnight. They're built when leaders commit to making it better every day.We need your help to get the LeadCulture podcasts in front of more leaders!

On paper, Vickie and her business partner Lisa look almost identical in Human Design: they are both 2/4 Manifesting Generators. Same Type. Same Profile. Same label.But in real life, they move through business very differently.In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie walks you through a side by side chart comparison to show you just how nuanced Human Design really is. She breaks down the differences in their channels, Centres, definition, and energy so you can stop reducing yourself to “just” your Type and Profile and start understanding how your specific design actually wants to operate.You will hear how things like a defined Root vs undefined Root, split definition vs single definition, and an undefined G Centre vs a heavily defined G Centre change the way two “identical” 2/4 Manifesting Generators experience pressure, direction, identity, pace, and partnership in business.If you have ever wondered why you do not resonate with generic Human Design Type descriptions, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “I'm a 2/4 Manifesting Generator” is just the beginning of your Human Design storyHow the 2/4 profile actually shows up in real life through community, hermitting, and long term relationshipsWhat happens when two big Manifesting Generator auras share a business and a physical spaceHow the 34–57 channel (powerful intuitive response) operates differently than the 34–20 channel of charismaThe impact of defined vs undefined Root Centres on pressure, urgency, and getting things doneHow split definition vs single definition changes the way you process, decide, and move in businessWhy an undefined G Centre questions identity and direction while a defined G Centre quietly holds the lineHow dormant gates get “lit up” in relationship and what that means for your patterns in intimacy, boundaries, and conflictPractical ways to use Human Design in partnership so you stop expecting other people to work exactly like youKey Takeaway:Two people can share the same Type and Profile and still be wired completely differently. The power of Human Design is in the nuances, not the label. When you understand your actual mechanics, you stop making yourself wrong and start building your business in a way that honours how your energy is really built to work.Links and Resources:Book a Human Design Reading with Vickie here.

Send us a textAlpha Coffee co-founder and retired Army lieutenant colonel Carl Churchill joins Joe for a candid conversation on leadership, resilience, and what it really takes to build something that lasts after the uniform comes off.After serving more than two decades in the Army, Carl found himself facing an unexpected second career shaped not by careful planning, but by crisis. In the wake of the Great Recession, he and his wife Lori cashed out their savings and took an all-in leap to build Alpha Coffee from their basement—navigating years of uncertainty, near-misses, and hard-earned lessons before the business finally found its footing. Drawing on his military background, Stoic philosophy, and a refusal to quit, Carl shares how discipline, culture, and clarity of purpose carried him through nearly a decade of struggle.In this conversation, Joe and Carl explore what leadership looks like when there's no rank to hide behind: how military lessons translate into entrepreneurship, why culture matters more than strategy, and how leaders must adapt their style as contexts and generations change. Along the way, they reflect on stress, perspective, boundaries, and the quiet confidence that comes from having faced truly hard things before.In this episode, Joe and Carl also explore:Tips for making great coffeeWhy Carl chose to walk away from promotion to keep leading people, not staffsWhat “burning the boats” looks like when your family and future are on the lineHow military hardship inoculates leaders against stress and uncertaintyWhy culture—not strategy—is the true differentiator between great and failing teamsLeading younger generations without abandoning standards or expectationsThe challenge of setting boundaries when you genuinely love your workWhether you're navigating life after military service, building something from scratch, or leading people through uncertainty, this episode offers a grounded reminder that the habits forged in discipline, humility, and persistence still matter—long after the mission changes.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.
