In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Heather and Don Van Boerum — a Utah couple whose ordinary trip to Costco became a moment that divided their lives into before and after — for an honest conversation about trauma, faith, marriage, and what it means to find joy on the other side of the unthinkable.Heather opens up about losing both legs below the knee in a parking lot accident just days before Christmas, navigating 14-plus hours of surgery, and the quiet spiritual premonition she'd had only a week before it happened. Don, a trauma surgeon who has spent his career walking into the worst moments of strangers' lives, reflects on what it was like to jump into the back of an ambulance and realize it was his wife — and the dark night he spent wandering back to the Costco parking lot wondering if they'd made the wrong call.The conversation explores the thin line between survival and loss, the choice to compete instead of collapse, the son who wrote a forgiveness card to the driver before his mom had even thought to be angry, and the kind of joy that can only be found on the other side of deep suffering. Heather and Don talk about what presence actually means, how tragedy clarified their marriage, and why four and a half years later, neither of them would trade what this experience has given them.This episode is a powerful listen for anyone navigating hardship, anyone who's ever questioned whether faith holds up under real pressure, and anyone who needs a reminder that the richest lives are rarely the ones that went according to plan.00:00 — Introduction & How They Met11:00 — Life Before the Accident11:54 — Just a Normal Day16:18 — The Moment of Impact22:32 — Don Hears It Happen25:06 — "We Have Her Limbs"33:30 — The Surgery That Lasted Until Christmas Eve36:22 — "This Is My Wife, Let's Get Going"47:42 — Choosing to Win49:44 — The Christmas Eve Surgery57:54 — "Will You Make Up My Difference?"01:03:10 — The Card01:13:00 — Beauty From Ashes01:18:23 — What We Know Now01:26:38 — Happy vs. Joy Hosted on Acast.

Rebuilding Life After Stroke: Why You Can’t Go Back – And Why That’s the Point There’s a moment in stroke recovery that almost every survivor reaches. You look at the person you used to be. Your job, your relationships, your body, your identity, and you realise something that nobody prepared you for: you can’t get that person back. The question is what you do next. Greg Graham knows this moment intimately. An AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation), a rare tangle of blood vessels in the brain, changed the course of his life in an instant. What followed wasn’t just physical recovery. It was the hardest work of rebuilding everything from the ground up. What an AVM Stroke Takes From You An arteriovenous malformation stroke happens when a cluster of abnormal blood vessels ruptures in the brain. Unlike ischaemic strokes caused by a clot, AVM strokes involve bleeding into the brain. The consequences depend heavily on where the bleed occurs, and for Greg, the impact was severe. In the immediate aftermath, Greg found himself isolated. Six weeks of recovery largely alone. Relationships fractured under the weight of what had happened. The losses were not just physical; they were existential. The life he had built, piece by piece, was no longer available to him. “I’ve lost everything. I don’t see a way forward.” This is the thought that lives underneath so much of early stroke recovery. It’s not self-pity. It’s the honest reckoning that comes when the gap between who you were and who you now are becomes impossible to ignore. Why “Getting Back to Normal” Is the Wrong Goal The dominant narrative around stroke recovery in hospitals, in rehabilitation settings, in well-meaning conversations with family is built around return. Return to work. Return to independence. Return to your life. But for many survivors, this framing creates a wall they can never climb. The person they’re trying to return to doesn’t exist anymore. The brain has changed. The body has changed. The world has shifted in ways that can’t be reversed. Greg’s insight, hard-won through the kind of experience that can’t be faked, is that rebuilding life after a stroke isn’t about restoration. It’s about construction. Not returning to a previous blueprint, but laying new foundations with the materials you actually have. What Rebuilding Actually Looks Like Rebuilding after a stroke is rarely dramatic. It’s the accumulation of small decisions made under enormous pressure. It’s choosing to engage with rehabilitation when nothing in your body wants to cooperate. It’s finding a reason to get out of bed when the reasons that used to work have stopped working. For Greg, the path through began with a fundamental shift in framing. Instead of measuring recovery by what had been lost, he began to ask a different question: what is actually possible from here? That question is deceptively simple. But it’s the foundation on which real recovery is built. Because once you stop trying to recreate the past, you free up everything you have to build something new. The Identity Question Nobody Asks One of the least-discussed dimensions of stroke recovery is identity. Who are you now? Not in a philosophical sense, in a practical, daily, operational sense. If your work defined you, and stroke took your ability to do that work, who are you on a Tuesday morning? Greg’s experience speaks directly to this. The construction of a new identity after a stroke doesn’t happen overnight. It isn’t a single breakthrough moment. It’s a slow, deliberate process of discovering what you still are and what you’re becoming. This is why Greg Graham calls himself the AVM Superhero. Not because recovery was easy, but because naming what you’ve survived and choosing to carry it with you rather than hiding from it is itself a form of strength. Listen to the Full Conversation Episode 405 of the Recovery After Stroke podcast is available on all major platforms. Greg’s story is one that will resonate with anyone who has faced the impossible question of rebuilding when going back is not an option.

What if the darkest chapter of your life turned out to be the very thing that saved it? Sean Clayton is a serial entrepreneur, marketing expert, and founder of Myosin and Mindful Ventures. He has helped bring nine brands to exit totaling over a billion dollars through direct-to-consumer marketing. Today, he is building AI-first marketing products, investing in over 30 companies, and teaching people how to unlock their highest self through integrated spirituality and radical inner work. In this conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius and Sean dig into one of the most remarkable origin stories you'll hear on this show. Sean opens up about childhood sexual abuse and the deep wounds it left behind, the people-pleasing and affirmation-seeking patterns it created, and the moment he tried to end his life before everything fell apart. He shares how a federal conviction and nearly three years behind bars paradoxically became the turning point that broke a cycle that could have killed him, and how he rebuilt his life from the ground up, starting at a car dealership in a halfway house with $200 in ads and a hunger to prove the world wrong. Sean also shares the spiritual framework he now teaches through the Miracle Academy, including how to get in communion with your inner child, why everything happening outside of you is simply a feedback loop of your internal world, how to recognize and create from life's patterns, and what it truly means to stop efforting through life and start walking in greatness.

What happens when a multimillion-dollar photography business goes to near-zero almost overnight during the pandemic? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki unpack the hard reset that forced a shift from chasing revenue to building a truly profitable, scalable business.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki discuss: Scott's journey from photographer to entrepreneur and business advisor What it's like to lose a successful business overnight during the pandemic The difference between chasing revenue and building a profitable company Why do many entrepreneurs ignore financial leaks in their business How mindset shifts and coaching help you rebuild and refocus   Key Takeaways: Revenue growth alone doesn't equal success; profitability is what sustains a business. The pandemic exposed weaknesses in many business models, forcing leaders to rethink scalability and resilience. Entrepreneurs often overlook hidden financial leaks that quietly erode profitability. A shift in mindset, from operator to strategic business owner, is critical for long-term growth. Coaching and outside perspective can accelerate clarity and help leaders pivot more effectively.   "We're all looking for revenue, revenue generating, getting leads and getting customers and funnels and getting—but what about the cash in your business that's probably going out the door that you don't even know?” — Scott Proposki   About Scott Proposki: Scott Proposki is a photographer, entrepreneur, and author with 27 years behind the camera, capturing stories for National Geographic, the White House, Microsoft, HBO, and top global brands. In 2019, he released Camera Focus to help creatives with ADHD harness their strengths. He never expected the book to save him when the pandemic wiped out his business in a week. After three years of silence, depression, and rebuilding, its principles helped him reinvent himself and create the Camera Focus Method™, a system empowering photographers to build confident, resilient businesses. Today, Scott's mission is bigger than photography.   Connect with Scott Proposki:   Website: www.scottproposki.com Email: scott@scottproposki.com Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Scott-Proposki/author/B07SD2KV79 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottproposki/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/111333847127347 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/photographybusinessmadesimple       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The system was not built for women raising capital, so Melissa Wallace built a new way forward. Melissa is the founder of Fierce Foundry, the first femtech venture studio in the United States. Long before she was reshaping how female founder funding works, she was sorting babysitting money into labeled envelopes and selling handmade greeting cards door-to-door with her dad's old briefcase. The instinct to build was always there, even before she had the language for it. With host Syama Bunten, Melissa shares the personal story behind the mission. She talks about a marriage in her twenties that ended with her ex-husband emptying her bank accounts after she asked for space, and a divorce process where she was willing to give up everything just to walk away clean. She shares how she went on to build a marketing agency, learned to lead instead of carrying every task herself, and kept seeing the same funding gap show up for women in health tech. Investors wanted proof of customers. Founders needed help getting customers. Too many had no early capital to make either happen. That loop is what Fierce Foundry was built to break. As a venture studio for women, it acts as a co-founder from day one, not a short-term program with a graduation date. It brings early capital, skilled operators, and support from idea through exit. This conversation offers a clearer path for any founder trying to understand how to raise pre-seed funding without relying on the usual gatekeepers. Women raising capital in femtech startups should not have to prove they belong before they even get started. Melissa is building the infrastructure to help more women build, fund, and scale what the world has been missing. If this conversation moved you, keep it going.

You will hear how she rebuilt her career from scratch, learned to use her gifts in the marketplace with faith the size of a mustard seed, and now coaches others to move from job to joy. Key Discussion Points Brenda's background in HR across Puerto Rico and the US, and the 24/7 international role that drained her health, marriage, and family The difference between religious routine and a personal relationship with Jesus, and what shifted for Brenda during her lowest season How one conversation and one business card opened the door to 15 years of teaching graduate students in HR Faith in action explained through the mustard seed principle from Matthew 17:20 Seeing every obstacle as a gift of opportunity and building an attitude of gratitude The "JOY" framework Brenda uses in coaching: Jesus Over Your work life, Unity, Optimism, Obedience Why your identity is not your job title, compensation, or what society says you should be Matthew 7:7-8 and Jeremiah 29:11-13 as anchors for seeking God with your whole heart Matthew 6:6 and the hidden place principle, doing excellent work when no one is watching Joseph's pit-to-palace story as a model for your current season, whatever it looks like Practical ways to serve others in the marketplace beyond tithing or church volunteering Why saying "yes, here I am" matters more than having every answer figured out Brenda's story is a reminder that you do not need a platform, a title, or perfect circumstances to live out your faith at work. You need obedience, a mustard seed of trust, and the willingness to serve the people in front of you today. Whether you are in a pit season like Joseph, rebuilding after loss like Brenda, or quietly doing excellent work in a hidden place, God sees you and has a plan to reward you in public at the right time.  Connect with Brenda at brendasoto.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendasotocoach/ and join the free Follower of One virtual community to keep walking this out with other believers in the marketplace. *Connect With Follower Of One* Join us over in our Online Community(http://community.followerofone.org) *Get social with us* https://www.facebook.com/followerofone  https://instagram.com/followerofone1 https://twitter.com/followerofone1  https://www.linkedin.com/company/follower-of-one  https://plinkhq.com/i/1482955686  ====

Just days before her 37th birthday, her family's logistics company suddenly closed, leaving her without the career path she had spent nearly two decades building. What followed was a period of grief, uncertainty, and deep reflection about self-worth, purpose, and what comes next.Sarah talks about the emotional reality of starting over and the messy middle that many women experience when life does not go according to plan.

In this episode, I sit down with Doug Smith — award-winning author of The Path of Rocks and Thorns, policy expert, trauma-informed leadership coach, adjunct professor, and a man who spent six years in a Texas prison cell for four counts of robbery committed in the grip of crack cocaine addiction. This is not a redemption story wrapped in a tidy bow. It's a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about what happens when a man loses everything — and what he discovers about leadership, recovery, and fatherhood in the process. Doug walks us through what crack addiction actually feels like — the all-encompassing high and the equal and opposite fall — and what it took to rebuild a life after prison, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis, years of therapy, and a spiritual practice pieced together inside a Texas prison cell. He also shares the extraordinary leadership work he did while incarcerated, helping build a sexual assault prevention program that led to a dramatic increase in reporting and prosecution inside Texas prisons — work that continues to have an impact to this day. But the heart of this conversation is fatherhood. Doug's daughter was five when he went in. She was almost eleven when he came home. He shares the terrifying day he was released, the first reunion with his daughter, and how they reconnected through play and letters rather than words. And then he shares the hardest part — what happened when his book came out and his daughter's buried anger finally surfaced, and the hike where he sat in that anger with her without defending himself. Larry meets him there with his own story of a father who left twice — and the dinner conversation twenty years ago where forgiveness finally had room to breathe.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Introducing Doug Smith — author, policy expert, trauma-informed coach, and formerly incarcerated for four counts of robbery [1:23] What prison was actually like — more boring than people imagine, and unexpectedly clarifying [2:31] The decline into crack addiction — what the high feels like and what the low does to your soul [5:14] The black spot on the soul — how crack takes you lower with every use and never lets you climb back up [6:50] What withdrawal from crack cocaine actually does to your brain and body [9:04] How Doug recalibrated inside prison — exercise, meditation, spiritual practice, and learning to feel good without drugs for the first time in his adult life [11:18] His mental health diagnosis — bipolar disorder, personality disorder, and how he eventually moved past treating a label [13:21] Who Doug is today — policy expert, adjunct professor at UT Austin, trauma-informed leadership coach, and author [15:28] What leadership actually means — it's not a business term, it's the relationship between the results you're creating and your contribution to them [16:18] The sexual assault prevention program Doug built inside a Texas prison — and the dramatic results it produced [22:47] How sexual assault in prison is always about power — and why staff are often the perpetrators [23:16] How old his daughter was when he went in — and his daily prayer to get home while she was still a child [24:51] The terrifying day he was released — why his brain wouldn't accept it as real [26:05] Flying down the stairs to hold his daughter — and sitting with her while she wept [26:49] How they reconnected on day one — spreading out her letters and going through them together [27:13] Larry's midroll reflection: you're home, but are you really there? [29:14] How his daughter responded after the initial reunion — the games, the capybara play, and Riley the racing rat [32:07] The years of building trust — and how his daughter's anger didn't surface until the book came out [33:10] His daughter's reaction to the book: everyone's celebrating his story, but nobody asked what she went through [34:48] The hike where everything came out — and how Doug received her anger without defending himself [37:14] How his daughter had organized her life around his incarceration — volunteering with kids of incarcerated parents, camp counseling, and a college essay that got her into UT Austin in three weeks [39:51] The unresolved trauma that was still there beneath the resilience — and what it took for her to finally be angry [40:17] Larry shares his own story — a father who left twice and the dinner conversation that changed everything [43:44] Larry's dad's ownership, humility, and apology — and how seeing a human being allowed forgiveness to begin [45:33] What Doug's relationship with his daughter looks like now — rebuilding on new terms as adults [47:41] His daughter's powerful message: I needed the encouragement before. Don't tie my worth to my grades. [48:13] The richer conversations that come when the old context for a relationship is gone [51:16] Larry's reflection: without the mess there is no message — and what Doug's story means to the men listening [52:18] The Dante's Inferno metaphor from Doug's prison book club — you have to go all the way through to climb back up   Five Key Takeaways Losing everything can be unexpectedly clarifying. When the things that were making your life miserable are stripped away, you get to learn who you are without them — and that can be the beginning of something real. Leadership is not a business concept. It's the relationship between the results you're creating in the world and your contribution to those results. Everyone is always leading something. You can be home and still not be present. A lot of men are physically in the house but emotionally absent — and their kids feel it. No prison cell required. Resilience and unresolved trauma can coexist. Doug's daughter organized her whole life around his incarceration before she ever allowed herself to be angry about it. Healing isn't linear and it isn't always visible. You have to go all the way through it. You can't go around pain, grief, or hard emotions. Like Dante — you have to travel through the deepest part before you can climb again.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance & Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/mastermind The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com The Path of Rocks and Thorns by Doug Smith: Available on Amazon Doug Smith's website: https://the-degree.com Email Doug directly: doug@the-degree.com Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1464): https://thedadedge.com/1464   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: you have to go all the way through it. Doug Smith didn't get to skip the hard parts. He had to travel all the way through addiction, incarceration, and the anger of a daughter he had failed — before he could climb back up. And what he built on the other side of that is extraordinary: a career dedicated to the exact people he used to be, and a relationship with his daughter being rebuilt on honest, adult terms. The mess became the message. It always does. If this episode hit you where it needed to, share it with a man who is in the middle of his own darkest season and needs to know there's a way through. Go out and live legendary.

For a chaotic Tuesday episode filled with tangents about music, meetings, and listener feedback. The tone shifts when Dave reads a detailed email from a listener addicted to 7-OH, a potent kratom extract sold in gas stations. What starts as a mild experiment quickly escalates into full dependence, with increasing tolerance, daily use in the hundreds of milligrams, financial strain, secrecy, and failed attempts to quit—even with Suboxone. Dave and Doug react with concern, noting the growing number of similar stories and questioning how such substances are widely available. They emphasize treatment, honesty, and community support, while pushing back against stigma—highlighting that addiction can take many forms, regardless of the substance.

In today's episode, I sit down with Andrew Wilson to talk about faith, gratitude, frequency, and the long road back after losing everything. I share how my mom and my wife helped me stay grounded when I went bankrupt after losing over $100 million, and how that season reshaped my values, my daily practices, and my purpose. We talk about the difference between discipline and devotion, the power of surrounding yourself with the right people and ideas, and why kindness, accountability, and intention matter in business, family, and life. It's a conversation about rebuilding from pain and creating a legacy that lives through others.

Jonathan Parsons grew up in a good family but fell into addiction at a young age, a path that nearly cost him everything before he got sober at just 21 years old. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jonathan shares how he stayed clean for seven years and built a life as a paramedic and firefighter, only for the trauma and stress of the job to pull him back into addiction. What followed was a rapid downward spiral — losing his career, his business, and his relationships, and ultimately landing in jail multiple times. Jonathan opens up about the mental toll of being a first responder, how relapse can happen even after years of sobriety, and what it took to hit rock bottom and start fighting his way back. _____________________________________________ #AddictionRecovery #Relapse #Paramedic #EMT #FirstResponder #MentalHealth #TrueStory #recoveryjourney _____________________________________________ Connect with Jonathon Parsons: Tiktok & Instagram: Jonnie_parsons_official Jonnie Parsons on Facebook _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Rock Bottom That Changed Everything 00:43 Early Life & Family Background 01:59 Growing Up Too Fast 03:05 First Exposure to Drugs & Sports Life 04:47 High School, Partying & Slipping Into Addiction 06:00 Dropping Out & Losing Control 08:35 First Arrest & Run-Ins With Police 10:27 The First Attempt at Getting Clean 11:57 Getting Sober & Starting Over 12:50 Becoming a Firefighter & Living a Double Life 14:38 Trauma on the Job & Relapsing 17:27 Losing Everything & Hitting Bottom Again 19:59 Helping People While Fighting Addiction 22:19 The Dark Reality of Being a Paramedic 25:22 Becoming a Father During Addiction 26:05 Losing the Business, Getting Locked Up 31:31 Inside Jail & The Wake-Up Call 35:35 Life After Jail & A Second Chance 40:00 Relationship Problems, Relapse & Final Turning Point 44:00 Marriage, Rebuilding & Turning Life Around 47:01 Staying Sober, Family Life & Giving Back 50:43 Sharing His Story & Finding Purpose 52:14 Triggers, Alcohol & Staying Clean 54:12 “Am I Still an Addict?” 55:35 Talking Openly About Addiction 57:12 Making Amends & Accepting the Past 58:33 Advice to His Younger Self 59:24 Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, I join the Behavior Bitches podcast to share the moment my greatest fear came true and how it ultimately reshaped my life. After losing more than $100 million and going bankrupt, I had to confront the ego, habits, and beliefs that led me there. I talk about the lesson my mom taught me in that painful moment, why receiving is just as important as giving, and how community and shared values create real opportunity. We also discuss why surrounding yourself with the right people matters, the danger of doing business with “dicks,” and how responding to fear with humility, gratitude, and accountability can completely change your trajectory.

In this master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with multifamily real estate legend Rod Khleif for a conversation that goes way beyond apartments and straight into the mindset required to build, lose, and rebuild real wealth. Rod is the host of the Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing podcast, a longtime multifamily investor, and a coach whose students collectively own hundreds of thousands of units. We use his story to unpack what really separates people who stay stuck from people who create momentum in real estate and business.     Rod shares how he went from a poor Dutch immigrant kid in Denver, to making over $100,000 in real estate by his third year, to building a massive portfolio, losing roughly $50 million in the 2008 crash, and rebuilding again through mindset, focus, and action. We talk about goal setting, decisions, fear, limiting beliefs, job insecurity, focus, peer groups, gratitude, and why your business should be your vehicle, not your identity.    If you are stuck in a W-2, afraid to start, recovering from a setback, or trying to level up in multifamily investing, this episode will hit you right between the eyes in the best way.    Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:10 Who is Rod Khleif? 02:38 Rod's background: poor immigrant to real estate investor 04:09 Early real estate success and the mindset turning point 05:08 Building massive wealth then losing $50 million 06:07 How your goals will shape your success 07:43 Why it's important for you to make a real decision, not a half-decision 08:16 The real risk: W-2 jobs vs real estate 10:30 How to get past your fear 12:55 The first step matters more than seeing the whole staircase 14:08 Fear regret more than failure 15:01 The truth about your limiting beliefs 16:47 Rebuilding after the 2008 crash 19:38 Why focus is your power in real estate 21:35 Play to your strengths and partner for your weaknesses 23:23 Multifamily and senior housing investments 26:06 How to connect with Rod and learn about multifamily 27:04 How your peer group can influence your success in business 28:43 Using gratitude as a wealth-building tool 30:40 Smart Real Estate Coach resources   Quotables   "It starts with goals.

Entrepreneur and leadership pioneer Robert White joins me to unpack what happens when success doesn't just slow down—it collapses all at once.Most business conversations celebrate scale, status, and wins.This episode goes in the opposite direction.Robert White built one of the largest leadership training companies in the world, with operations across Asia and the U.S. He had the house, the jet, the global footprint, and what looked like complete freedom.Then, in a 90-day span, it unraveled.His top leadership team walked out overnight—taking people, clients, and intellectual property with them.At the same time, his marriage ended.The result: a $30M loss, a damaged reputation, and a complete reset.This conversation isn't about the mechanics of rebuilding.It's about what breaks internally—and what has to change to come back stronger.We explore the hidden cost of success, the danger of tying identity to status, and why even those who teach personal responsibility can fall into victimhood when everything falls apart.One turning point changed everything:Not blame. Not strategy.But a single question—“Would it be useful to take 100% responsibility for all of this?”From there, the conversation shifts into something deeper:What it actually means to take ownership.Why letting go of identity can be more painful than losing money.And how rebuilding starts with who you are being—not just what you are doing.This is a candid look at loss, ego, recovery, and the discipline of reclaiming control when everything familiar disappears.TL;DR* Massive success can hide fragile foundations* Collapse often happens faster than expected* Victimhood can exist even in high performers* Personal responsibility is a practical tool—not a philosophy* Identity loss is often harder than financial loss* Recovery starts with “being,” not just “doing”Memorable Lines* “Would it be useful to take 100% responsibility for all of this?”* “When you own it, you get your power back.”* “Success built on identity can collapse with it.”* “You can be a more sophisticated version of a victim.”* “Who you are being matters more than what you are doing.”GuestRobert White — Entrepreneur, leadership trainer, and founder in the human potential spaceBuilt one of the largest leadership training organizations globally, with decades of international experience across the U.S. and Asia.Why This MattersSuccess isn't stability—it's often leverage built on invisible dependencies.Teams leave. Relationships end. Markets shift.And when they do, what's left isn't your strategy—it's your identity.For founders, operators, and executives, this episode reframes collapse as something deeper than failure.It's a forced separation from who you thought you were.The real advantage isn't avoiding the fall.It's rebuilding without clinging to what no longer serves you.

Her entrepreneurial path was guided by creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to follow intuition even when it meant taking risks others would not. But success did not come without challenges.After years of building her company, Katrina experienced profound personal and professional setbacks and ultimately lost control of the business she created. Rather than giving up, she chose to rebuild. Now, as the founder of Violet Flame Chocolate, Katrina is creating a new vision for chocolate. Her new venture blends luxury craftsmanship, ritual, and creativity while encouraging people to reconnect with their inner voice and imagination.This conversation explores entrepreneurship, resilience, intuition, and the power of starting again.

In this episode, Seth sits down with Peter Goldstein, CEO of a Nasdaq-listed SPAC, to break down the real difference between going public through a SPAC versus a traditional IPO. They dive into what most founders misunderstand about valuation, why certainty matters more than speed in today's capital markets, and what truly happens after the bell rings.Peter also shares his personal journey from early success and building a broker-dealer, to losing everything in 2008, and rebuilding with a sharper focus on governance, discipline, and long-term sustainability. This conversation is a masterclass for entrepreneurs and CEOs considering the public markets not just about getting listed, but about building a durable company that can survive and thrive once it is.Seth's CompaniesVstock Transfer – https://www.vstocktransfer.com/Share Media – https://www.sharemedia.co/Listen to the ShowApple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seth-farbman-on-podcast-from-startup-to-stock-exchange/id1356667808Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/54i7xkWaAALAFrUvk4WZcNConnect with SethLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethfarbman/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/sethfarbmanstockTikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@sethfarbmanTwitter (X) – https://x.com/sethfarbman1About the ShowFrom Startup to Stock Exchange, hosted by entrepreneur and investor Seth Farbman, spotlights the journey of founders and CEOs as they scale their companies from early ideas to public markets.

Dr. Felecia Froe guested on the Planet Wealth podcast, hosted by Mary Kathryn Johnson, for a powerful conversation about investing through fear, rebuilding after loss, and creating financial freedom with purpose.   She shares her journey from board-certified urologist to social impact real estate investor, including losing everything in 2008 and choosing to start again anyway. Dr. Froe explains how she evaluates risk using the "worst case scenario" test, why fear never fully disappears, and why financial independence gives women the power to walk away from anything that isn't in their best interest. From sober living homes to grocery stores in food deserts, this episode highlights how money can create both personal freedom and meaningful community impact.   00:00 – From Surgeon to Investor: The Voice That Wouldn't Go Away 04:46 – Losing Everything in 2008 — and Starting Again 09:46 – Identity, Fear & Refusing to Stay Stuck 16:31 – Investing Through Fear: The Worst Case Scenario Test 22:11 – Money Working for You vs. You Working for Money 28:46 – Social Impact Investing: Turning Profit Into Purpose 34:01 – The One Rule for Investors

Speaker, author, and entrepreneur Danny Brassell joins me to unpack what happens when collapse isn't theoretical — it's personal.Most conversations about success start at the breakthrough. This one starts at the bottom.After falling victim to a real estate scam that wiped him out financially, Danny had two options: define himself by the loss or rebuild from it. What followed wasn't a cinematic overnight comeback. It was constraint, recalibration, and a deliberate decision not to declare bankruptcy — paired with an aggressive income target that forced reinvention.During one of the worst economic downturns in modern history, Danny built a speaking business that not only restored stability but opened entirely new doors — eventually leading to coaching high-performing entrepreneurs and executives.But this episode isn't just about financial recovery.It's about identity.We explore what failure does to ego, how embarrassment can paralyze growth, why traditional “safe” career paths quietly manufacture risk aversion, and why studying biographies reveals patterns most people overlook.We also get honest about tradeoffs — money versus meaning, ambition versus family, hyper-growth versus presence — and the uncomfortable truth that success always extracts a price.This isn't a highlight reel conversation.It's about grit, humility, pattern recognition, and the discipline of getting up again.The lesson isn't blind optimism.It's resilience anchored to clarity and action.TL;DRReputation can collapse overnight. Character compounds over time.Failure builds empathy and pattern recognition.Safe career paths often breed hidden fragility.Success always carries tradeoffs.Study the dark chapters of biographies, not just the victories.Income targets create forced innovation.You don't rebuild by feeling motivated — you rebuild by executing weekly.Vulnerability creates connection; polished perfection creates distance.Memorable Lines“It's not about avoiding the hit — it's about getting back up.”“Success leaves clues, but so does failure.”“You fall down seven times, you get up eight.”“Money isn't everything — but pretending it doesn't matter is naive.”“If you close the show, you deny the world your gift.”“Safe careers can quietly make you risk-averse.”“Enjoying the journey usually happens in hindsight.”GuestDanny Brassell — Speaker, author, and storytelling coachFormer journalist and educator turned high-performance communication coach working with entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations worldwide.

After losing everything in the 2008 crash and nearly walking away from real estate altogether, Damon rebuilt from the ground up and went on to generate $30 million in assignment fees in 2025. In this episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Damon breaks down the hard lessons, painful mistakes, and disciplined execution that turned long-term persistence into market dominance. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What really happens when a wholesaler stays in one market long enough to master it. ✅ Why consistency beats luck in wholesale real estate and entrepreneurship. ✅ How Damon rebuilt after losing everything and nearly quitting. ✅ The mindset required to scale assignment fees into eight figures. ✅ Why most real estate investors fail before the breakthrough arrives. ✅ The systems and behaviors that create sustainable deal flow. If you're a real estate wholesaler, investor, or entrepreneur trying to break through your next ceiling — whether that's your first big year or your biggest year yet — this episode will reset how you think about scale, patience, and long-term opportunity. Damon's journey proves that the real edge in wholesale real estate isn't chasing the next shiny strategy, but staying long enough to win. Watch the full episode to understand how endurance, repetition, and market mastery can completely change your business.

When Jenn Lyon was offered the role of cheer coach Courteney on NBC's mockumentary series, “Stumble,” (new episodes Fridays at 8:30/7:30c & streaming the next day on Peacock) it was almost too good to be true. Jenn was obsessed with the Netflix “Cheer” documentary upon which “Stumble” is based, and she had been a JV cheerleader herself back in the day. Jenn is hilarious and talks to me about her roots in sketch comedy; her favorite mockumentary shows and movies; the perils of clip-on bangs, and her delusions of grandeur before making it big in showbiz. 00:00 Beanies, Clip-On Bangs & Suffering 01:40 Mockumentaries & Christopher Guest Obsession 03:00 JV Cheer in North Carolina (Barely Survived) 04:55 What Stumble Is Really About 06:30 Hidden Jokes & Easter Eggs on Set 08:10 Improvising vs Scripted Comedy 09:45 Working with Taran Killam 14:30 Larry David on Broadway 16:50 Stunt Doubles & “Stunt Triples” 19:10 Moving to NYC with Delusional Confidence 21:15 Getting Beat Up as a Moose 23:00 Early YouTube Comedy Days 27:45 True Crime, Dateline & Cult Podcasts 32:50 Losing Everything in the Fire 36:30 Dreaming of Being Murdered on Law & Order This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Amigo the Devil joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for an honest conversation about grief, coincidence, creativity, and what happens when life resets you overnight. This episode starts with Andy and Nick setting the scene, then Danny opens up about losing his home in a fire, what it meant to him, and the strange twist that he was recording a different song as it was happening. They talk about the shock of having no warning, the whiplash of going on tour while still processing it, and the painful irony of realizing how many lyrics in his catalog reference fire. Danny also breaks down his songwriting process, including the "blank white room" mental space he uses to clear out noise and find intention before purpose. The conversation drifts into being present, chasing the next thing, living in the dark long enough for your eyes to adjust, and learning to save a little kindness for yourself. It is heavy, it is funny in the way only real friends can be funny, and it is one of the most vulnerable episodes we have ever recorded. Trigger warning: discussion of house fire, loss, and trauma.
