The “self-made” story sounds inspiring, but it leaves out the secret that actually accelerates growth: the right people in your corner. We open up about how masterminds create 2.5x momentum by combining accountability, proximity, and perspective, and why those three forces beat lone-wolf hustling every time. From weekly wins that build confidence to simple systems that cut through scattered days, you'll hear how focused structure turns plans into results without sacrificing your life outside the business.We share a client journey that moved from doom scrolling to disciplined action using habit stacking and 90-day goals, unlocking more revenue and more family time.

These are the compounding advantages you get when you stop building in a silo and start building with a trusted circle.If you're exploring a mastermind, we also map out how to choose one that fits: a facilitator who teaches and holds you accountable, a room of like-minded entrepreneurs with complementary strengths, and a culture that prioritizes collaboration over competition.

In this week's episode, we chat with Chris Pramas of Green Ronin Publishing! We hear about adapting a series of novels as a TTRPG, implementing spaceship combat without writing a physics textbook, and the importance of considering what a fantasy city would smell like. Our conversation goes deep into the lifecycle of a tabletop game, the economics of the publishing industry, and the complications of crowdfunding. Spoilers abound for The Expanse and Broken Earth novel series.

They're the publisher behind Mutants and Masterminds and Fantasy Age as well as some very in-depth adaptations.

This year has been their 25th anniversary, so they've been doing some cool monthly specials. Also, the bankruptcy of their physical books distributor has had them in a bit of a bind over the past few months, so possibly consider helping them out?Green Ronin Publishing also has some community sites for people interested in building their own game supplements:AGE Creators Alliance is for Adventure Game Engine supplements.Chronicle System Guild is for Sword Chronicle supplements, which is the genericized version of the A Song of Ice and Fire system.Atomic Think Tank is a forum for Green Ronin TTRPGs more broadly.Chris has some great recommendations for nonfiction history:SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary BeardThe Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe by Matthew Gabriele and David M PerryReturn of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan, 1839-42 by William DalrympleWilliam Dalrymple and Anita Anand's podcast EmpireFinally, while we were putting these show notes together, we found the program for GenCon 2000, and it's an excellent examples of turn-of-the-century TTRPG graphic design. Head on over to our website to check it out.

Today is Episode 400… a milestone I never imagined when I sat at my dining room table with six children during the pandemic, simply trying to create safety and stability for kids who needed a place to learn. But 400 episodes later, I have grown. You have grown. The entire movement has grown. And in this episode, I'm sharing a full-circle moment: the official transformation from the Teacher Let Your Light Shine podcast into the new era of ReDream Education. This is not a rebrand. This is a rebirth. Over the years, many of us have walked through burnout, fear, exhausted dreams, and the longing for something more meaningful. We've outgrown systems that didn't fit us anymore. We've struggled with leaving the classroom, starting schools, raising families, and carrying visions bigger than our circumstances. And yet—just like me—so many of you have been redreaming your lives, your schools, your identities, and your purpose. In this episode, I reflect on: ⭐ The evolution I've experienced over 400 episodes Burnout, rebuilding, expansion, leadership, program redesign, and the deep internal shift that demanded a new dream. ⭐ How our community has changed You're not just teachers needing encouragement. You're founders. Innovators. Mothers and fathers creating microschools, homeschool hybrids, learning communities and learner-centered environments from the ground up. ⭐ Why ReDream Education had to be born Because the world no longer needs encouragement alone—it needs leaders, school builders, and architects of the future committed to mastery-based, personalized, flexible, human-centered learning. ⭐ How Microschool Masterminds is evolving This is now a national training ground for founders, offering: weekly coaching leadership frameworks enrollment systems financial planning curriculum decision-making multi-age learning structures personalized learning blueprints legal and operational support community building scalable school models It's everything educators search for when they're ready to step into their calling as founders. Microschool Masterminds is no longer just a program. It is a movement inside the movement. ⭐ Why today marks the official beginning of the ReDream Era Teacher Let Your Light Shine gave hope. ReDream Education builds leaders. Teacher Let Your Light Shine inspired teachers. ReDream Education equips founders. Teacher Let Your Light Shine ignited the spark. ReDream Education builds the fire. And as we step into this next chapter, I leave you with this question: What part of your life is asking to be redreamed? Because if you're listening today, your dream isn't dying— it's evolving.

Most people aren't burnt out because they're working too hard. They're burnt out because the number they're chasing has no meaning behind it. In this episode, I break down why arbitrary revenue goals will always leave you exhausted, unmotivated, and questioning what you're even doing all of this for. I share how to right size your goals using a "dream life budget" so every dollar you're chasing has a clear purpose behind it. Get ready to rethink your numbers, reconnect with your why, and set goals that actually make the journey worthwhile. HIGHLIGHTS Why chasing "logical" numbers like $1M or $10M often leads to burnout. The difference between wants and purpose-driven goals. How a dream life budget reveals what you actually need to earn. Why making more money than you need can cost you happiness. How purpose makes even the hardest days worth it. Why right sized goals create more motivation.

Adolescence is a training ground for belonging. Rosalind Wiseman (the Queen Bees and Wannabes author whose work inspired Mean Girls) names what adults forget: wanting to be part of a group isn't a character flaw, it's a deep developmental need. And the stakes aren't superficial. The way kids handle loyalty, conflict, embarrassment, betrayal, and speaking up (or staying silent) becomes muscle memory they carry into adulthood. In a world where many kids feel the “middle-class script” they were promised doesn't pay off, that longing to belong can turn into paralysis, resentment, or disengagement—and parents are left wondering when to step in, what to say, and how to be credible again. This conversation gets beautifully practical: how to respond when your child comes home with “the story” (and you weren't there), why forced kindness scripts backfire, and how real social learning happens through messy, unsupervised, multi-age play—especially outside. Wiseman makes a compelling case that overly adult-driven schedules (and even toxic youth sports) can shrink a kid's identity until it collapses under pressure, while neighborhood moments expand it: friend, helper, teammate, kid-who's-known-by-name. You'll leave with language that lowers defenses, strengthens connection, and helps your kids navigate their social world with dignity—plus a reminder that some of the best confidence-building on earth still looks like racing Big Wheels downhill and climbing trees.

I spent three and a half hours taking pro pickleball lessons and walked away realizing how many of the problems people are having in business have nothing to do with talent, luck, or effort. They come down to mindset, fundamentals, and who's pushing you to show up. In this episode, Lori and I break down 4 lessons that translate directly to business and leadership, why opportunities don't go to the hardest workers, why fundamentals always scale better than raw talent, and why staring at the scoreboard instead of working the plan is keeping so many people stuck. Get ready to be more prepared, more disciplined, and surrounded by the right people. HIGHLIGHTS Why assuming the opportunity is coming to you changes everything. The mindset shift that makes you faster to act and win. How two men in their 70s destroyed talent with fundamentals. The pickleball lesson that changed how we think about business. Why staring at the score never grows your business. Why accountability partners matter more than motivation. How the right people force you into action when you'd normally procrastinate.

Change doesn't mean you're losing. It means the game just reset. In this episode, I break down why every major shift creates massive new opportunities for the people willing to move first.

The two types of opportunity that always appear during major shifts. How AI, algorithms, and economic pressure are resetting the playing field.

It's my 48th birthday, and Lori and I are getting really honest about what actually matters as you get older. I share what I've shed this past year, how coming back from a stroke and a torn shoulder changed the way I look at my health, business, and time, and why your friendships and business community are either your greatest asset or your biggest liability. We talk about structuring your circle in thirds, why happiness comes from pursuit, and how to get yourself into rooms that match the size of your goals. Tune in and build your next chapter on purpose. HIGHLIGHTS My reflections on turning 48. How a stroke changed my brain and behavior for the better. What getting older actually gives you (hint: it's better than youth). Two pieces of advice for anyone feeling lost in their late 30s or 40s. How I intentionally build and maintain deep friendships. What I am proudest of this year and what almost broke me. The "Rule of Thirds" for curating the right business community.

How do you know if you're actually cut out to be an entrepreneur? Today, I share a moment from a conversation I overheard that perfectly revealed the difference between people who see opportunity and people who only see fear. I break down why your natural reaction to risk matters more than any business strategy, how the wrong friends can quietly chip away at your confidence, and why your environment will determine your success faster than your skill set will. Tune in to find out if you're wired for entrepreneurship and how to surround yourself with people who think the way you do, so you can actually win. HIGHLIGHTS The conversation that instantly revealed who was and wasn't meant to be an entrepreneur. Why your default reaction to opportunity tells you more than any personality test. How fear-based friends can chip away at your confidence without you even noticing. The trait entrepreneurs can't succeed without (and why skill alone isn't enough). Why being in the right room will multiply your results faster than any tactic. RESOURCES Apply for our 2026 Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind HERE!
