Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Phelps

Todd Stiefler, VP of Enterprise and Public Sector at WHOOP, joins Dr. Arun Seraphin at Emerging Tech Horizons to explain how a consumer fitness wearable became a force readiness tool, and what's still standing in the way of adoption at scale. Learn more about WHOOP here: https://www.whoop.com/us/en/Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more: LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0 Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3 Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8 And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1 #ETI #EmergingTech #WearableTech

Michael Phelps Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Michael Phelps has had a relatively low profile in the past few days, but the ripples of his legacy are everywhere, and they are biographically significant. Across social media, new viral clips on Instagram and TikTok are reintroducing him to a younger audience, framing him not just as the man with 23 Olympic gold medals but as a long term cultural benchmark. One recent reel from the account athletexblueprint on Instagram calls Phelps a warrior of the water and the most decorated Olympian ever, then pivots to his second act as a leading voice on mental health and performance, underscoring how his post pool identity is increasingly central to how the public now understands him. Another widely shared clip stresses that Phelps has spoken openly about depression and the emotional crash that followed the highs of Olympic glory, reinforcing his emerging role as a case study in the difference between achievement and fulfillment. Business wise, Phelps remains deeply associated with wellness, mental health advocacy, and high performance lifestyle branding. Recent content amplifying his work with mental health campaigns and youth sports development emphasizes that his long term business value is as a trusted narrator of the athlete experience, not merely a pitchman. While there are no credible reports in the last few days of new product launches or major corporate deals, sports business outlets continue to reference him as the gold standard for Olympic era endorsement longevity, which hints that any future partnership he signs will be treated as big news. Media chatter in the last 24 to 48 hours has also leaned on Phelps as the go to reference point for greatness as we approach another Olympic cycle. Sports talk segments and highlight packages have been resurfacing his Beijing and London races, using him as the comparison every new phenom has to live up to. That constant replay quietly updates his biography: he is now firmly in the rare space where his name functions as an adjective for dominance. As for fresh, hard news headlines about Phelps personally in the past day, there have been no verified reports of major new public appearances, controversies, or announcements from reputable outlets such as ESPN, NBC Sports, or the BBC. Any social media rumors about surprise comebacks, new reality shows, or dramatic personal twists remain unconfirmed and should be treated as pure speculation unless and until validated by a mainstream news organization or by Phelps himself.

Dr Kris Heap shares an awesome story explaining how Michael Phelps used mental imagery to overcome disaster in the pool and win gold!

Introduction: Do I Have the Will to Go On? Do I even have the will to go on with this episode? Well, hey there, welcome back. Do I even have the will to go on with this episode? Um, I do, but I also have something better. The Willpower Battery: Why “Raw Dogging” Change Fails Let’s talk about that. If you’ve read my book Because… First of all, thank you. But if you haven’t, let me give you a refresher on something that’s really important. If you’ve ever tried to lose weight or make a change in your life and you’ve ever just tried to raw dog it, meaning you think, okay, I’m just going to use sheer force of will to do this. I’m going to stop eating so much, I’m going to shove myself into the gym, I’m going to change jobs, I’m going to be more tolerant with this, that, and the other thing. And you’re like, hey, it works. But you’re also like, oh my god, I’m running out of… energy. Because willpower is a battery with finite energy. Well, fine, you say. I’m just going to increase that battery, right? Like you said Mark, if you repeat something, you can increase it. So I’ll just keep using more and more and more willpower. Burning Out: The Hidden Danger of Relying Solely on Willpower Well, that can create a really dangerous situation, first of all. So if you decided to go the pure willpower route, you would be doing what a lot of people do in their situations that they’re not happy with. They just say, I’m just going to focus harder and harder and harder. But the problem is if the problem or the change is something that requires an inordinate amount of energy, in other words, a huge amount of energy that perhaps you hadn’t planned on or even if you had planned on it, it’s a huge amount of energy that you simply may not have because you’re busy dealing with all the other things in your life. But let’s just say you do it. You put all this effort into making this change and it’s working and that sort of delights you. But you’re like… I’m burning out, I have nothing left for me and my family, I’m crabby now, it’s starting to change me in ways that I don’t like, I’m starting to compensate for it, and so forth. Monsters and Unicorns: The Subconscious Forces Controlling Your Habits See, everything that I’m describing are things that happen under the understanding of Because, the monsters and the unicorns. And what you’re simply doing is ignoring the monsters and unicorns in place. Well Mark, what should I do? you ask perhaps. Well, that’s look to the monsters and unicorns first. And that’s what I do. And that’s what I do when someone works with me. It doesn’t mean we don’t use willpower, we use willpower in everything, it takes willpower to make a decision to go against your monsters and unicorns. If you say, look, I certainly enjoy eating, and I enjoy lots of eating, and I enjoy multiple eating sessions and and all that stuff, it takes willpower to say, oh, I want to give up that pleasure, I want to give up that comfort, right? Well, now you’re going against your unicorn. Diagnosing Your Coping Mechanisms: Are You Protecting Yourself From Pain? Well, instead of taking it that way, you’re kind of doing it backwards. What you should be doing is examining the unicorn itself. Are you really deriving that much pleasure, or are you deriving pleasure from something else? Is it a certain avoidance that allows you to have the pleasure? Or maybe by eating a lot and too much and often and too fast and so and so forth… you’re being forced to do that because you have a monster that is protecting you from pain. Maybe you believe that if you do all these things, these unhealthy eating habits, it will actually protect you from pain, even though it’s going to make you live shorter and make your life less happy. The “Aha” Moment: Triggering Lasting Psychological Change And as soon as you have that realization, as soon as that hits home, now your monsters and unicorns have literally just altered in your system. Just that one sentence I just said. If you’re like, well yeah, oh, wait a second. That’s when change happens. That’s when change happens in people, that’s when change happens in coaching. Because if you don’t do that, then it’s just cheerleading. Whether it’s you cheerleading yourself or someone else is being paid to cheerlead you. And I will tell you, I don’t get paid to cheerlead. I don’t want to get paid to cheerlead. I want to get paid to diagnose, to guide, and to help. Self-Examination and the Unseen Programs Running Your Life So this was a fast one. We’re not even at five minutes and I already switched to the portion of the episode in which I say, okay, now we recognize this, what do we do? Boom, already gave you that. Now, does everyone who is wildly successful or really successful at something go through this? Well, typically they’re not even aware of their monsters and unicorns, typically they just work. In fact, as I use in the case of Michael Phelps, he had both a monster and a unicorn for staying in the pool. He didn’t decide that, he didn’t consciously go, I would like to stay in this pool because it helps me with my ADHD. He just noticed that being in the pool helped him with his ADHD. And the same thing happens in your life. We typically don’t do a lot of self-examination. Well, most people don’t. I do that all the time, which is why I come up with this, but… you typically don’t do that, you go through life with all these programs running and you think, okay, well I I don’t know, look, I don’t know, and we have control mechanisms in place, we have safeties in our psyche that prevent us typically from pulling apart the cover and poking around in all the wires and gears and things. Understandably so, just like in a car, has a hood, it has caps, and has protective seals on lots of things, so does your psyche, for good reasons. And sometimes it’s not for such good reasons. You have childhood trauma or other kinds of trauma, you may have a protective shield around it because you’re not dealing with it. I don’t want to go there. Right? You have something that’s happened to you and you’re just not going there, which is why you don’t see the psychologist that people tell you to see. Or why you don’t even talk about something. Oh, that’s off limits with Bill. Don’t even go there. Right? Moving Beyond Cheerleading: Why You Need a Safe System for Transformation We all know we’ve encountered people like this. We all know we are people like this. If you work with a psychologist or a coach that has a system in place and puts you in a special place that allows you to feel comfortable enough to talk through things. And just being comfortable and talking about things isn’t enough, you have to have a system in place. You can’t just be brought bare in front of a stranger and talk about your hopes, dreams, aspirations, and everything that hurts you. That’s going to hurt. And that’s going to be difficult. So you need to have something in place. You need to know, you need to tell yourself, hey, we’re going to be looking under this cover, but we’re going to do it gently, we’re going to do it with care and respect for ourselves. Next Steps: Explore the Podcast Catalog and the ‘Because’ Framework Your first step in that, frankly, is to listen to podcast episodes like this. And I present my entire catalog of 300 plus episodes. And yes, I’ll stop saying that when we get to 400 plus episodes. But listen through them, listen through them in the 10 or 15 minutes it takes you to listen to them while you’re doing a chore, while you’re in the car… and just think. Think in the safety of your own mental space. And then when you want to learn more, pick up a copy of Because. It’s not that expensive, it’s a short read, but it is packed with information and citations from other books, medical journals, and things like that. And you can always go down your own rabbit holes to make sure that I’m telling you what I say I’m telling you. Finding Your Monsters and Unicorns But I’ll tell you, the moment you discover a monster or a unicorn in place and you go, oh… wait a second. He doesn’t belong there. Sure, he has a useful function, but not there… that’s going to be your aha moment. And all of a sudden, you’ll want to know more, and all of a sudden you’ll want to find all the monsters and unicorns you can. And if you want my help, all you have to do is reach out. You can go on my Calendly, which is a hard word to say, and schedule a 15-minute free appointment and we can have a nice chat about it and see if we’re a fit. And if not, just read some more books and do your due diligence. Conclusion and Resources Wow, this was fun. Thanks for listening as always.

Michael Phelps Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Michael Phelps may be long retired from competition, but over the past few days his name has still been moving through sports, business, and pop culture in ways that quietly add to his long-term legend. There have been no major breaking news stories about Phelps himself making headlines for controversy or a dramatic new venture, but his presence continues to loom large across multiple arenas, which is its own kind of biographical significance. On social media, short-form video continues to repackage his legacy for a new generation. A recent YouTube Short credited to broc.obros on Instagram labels Michael Phelps as, quote, the greatest Olympic athlete ever, tracing the arc from hyperactive boy to 28-time Olympic medalist. That kind of bite-size hero story keeps reinforcing the Phelps mythology for younger fans who never watched Beijing or London live. In broader sports commentary, his name is still shorthand for impossible dominance. A Divine Sport, in a new feature on figure skater Amber Glenn, quotes her comparing Phelps to athletes who are just built different, invoking him as the gold standard for physical and mental separation from the field. That kind of casual comparison, dropped into current interviews, shows how Phelps has become a permanent reference point in elite sports culture. On the business and performance side, Phelps's role as a benchmark client for high-end sports technology is also back in the conversation. In a recent profile-style interview with Whoop founder Will Ahmed, the CEO highlights that the screenless wearable has been embraced by some of the world's top athletes, explicitly naming Michael Phelps alongside LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo. The piece notes Whoop's new Series G funding and multibillion-dollar valuation, and while Phelps is not the headline, his ongoing association with a premier performance brand deepens his post-swimming identity as a data-driven, high-performance ambassador rather than just a retired swimmer. Meanwhile, Olympic media channels are once again resurfacing his greatest hits. The official Olympic YouTube channel has re-promoted footage of his first Olympic run in Sydney 2000, introducing a teenage Phelps to today's algorithm-driven audience and subtly refreshing the early chapters of his biography just as we move toward another Olympic cycle. There have been no credible reports in the past 24 hours of major new personal announcements, scandals, or business launches involving Michael Phelps. Any rumors beyond this, including speculative chatter on fan forums or unverified social posts, remain unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation, not fact. That's the latest on Michael Phelps for this episode of Michael Phelps Biography Flash. Thank you for listening, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update on Michael Phelps.

Juancho Sánchez Ocaña ha realizado un recorrido histórico por la evolución de los Juegos Olímpicos, desde sus orígenes en la Antigua Grecia en el año 780 a.C. hasta la actualidad.Los juegos antiguos, celebrados durante un milenio en honor a Zeus, exigían requisitos estrictos: los atletas debían ser hombres libres, hablar griego y competir desnudos en disciplinas como el atletismo, la lucha o el brutal "pancracio". Durante su celebración, imperaba la tregua sagrada, que detenía las guerras para garantizar el paso seguro de los deportistas hacia Olimpia.Tras su desaparición en el siglo IV d.C. y un paréntesis de 1.600 años, el barón de Coubertin impulsó el renacimiento de los juegos modernos en 1896. La crónica destaca hitos como el desafío de Jesse Owens en el Berlín nazi de 1936, la única sede española en Barcelona 92 y la consolidación de leyendas como el nadador Michael Phelps o los españoles Saúl Craviotto y Teresa Perales.Actualmente, el olimpismo se ha transformado en un fenómeno masivo que integra 30 deportes y más de 13.000 participantes, superando boicots y crisis para mantenerse como el mayor símbolo de unidad entre los pueblos

Je me suis rendue au Mans pour rencontrer Willy Mangin, entraîneur sportif et diététicien. Ayant moi-même été sportive de niveau national en judo et en roller acrobatique dans mes jeunes années, et tentant désormais de me maintenir en forme de manière plus qu'amatrice, j'avais beaucoup de questions à lui poser.Est-ce que les arts martiaux c'est du pipeau irlandais à la sauce orientale ? Sont-ils vraiment utiles pour se défendre en cas d'agression ? Peut-on pratiquer sérieusement le tai-chi sans croire au ch'i ?Michael Phelps a-t-il gagné les 200 m papillon aux Jeux olympiques de Rio grâce à l'application de ventouses sur son dos ? Novak Djokovic a-t-il raison de croire aux énergies ? Pourquoi Zinedine Zidane met-il toujours sa chaussette gauche en premier ? Je voulais aussi savoir : comment faire pour améliorer la performance ? Les compléments alimentaires (créatine, protéine, magnésium ou oméga-3) sont-ils utiles ? Peut-on être végétarien et sportif accompli ? Avoir des courbatures est-il un passage obligé ?Être accroché à ses statistiques de VO2 max est-il utile, ou même souhaitable ?Et puis : quels sont les bénéfices réels de la pratique sportive et quand peut-elle devenir néfaste ? Quels sont les secrets d'une bonne préparation mentale ? Comment enrayer les discriminations dans les milieux sportifs ? Quelle est la différence entre un bon entraîneur et un mauvais entraîneur ?Bref, j'ai occupé le terrain, et comme Willy Mangin est bavard, très bavard, on a papoté et bu du thé dans son salon pendant une journée entière.

Nicole Phelps shares her experience being pregnant while her partner, Michael Phelps, was training for the Olympics. She hired a doula and prepared to possibly give birth without Michael there. A few weeks before her due date, Nicole started experiencing extreme itchiness, especially on the palms of her hands, and was tested for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP). However, she went into labor before the results came back. Michael made it just in time, and her son, Boomer, was born healthy. The test result came back positive and she knew she'd have to be on the lookout for another ICP diagnosis with future pregnancies. On this episode, she also shares her second pregnancy and birth story and how her doctor monitored her for ICP leading up to her son Beckett's birth. Nicole wanted to share her story to raise awareness about ICP so other women can be on the lookout for the symptoms. Links: Airdoctorpro.com code BIRTHHOUR for up to $300 off!

The most successful leaders, coaches, and teams in history share one counterintuitive secret: their main focus wasn't winning. And yet… they won more than everyone else.  My guest, Don Yaeger, learned this lesson from his mentor: legendary college basketball coach John Wooden. Don is one of my favorite master storytellers, a top business leadership coach, author of 44 books, 13 of them New York Times bestsellers, and a former Associate Editor at Sports Illustrated. Don has worked alongside the greatest athletes of our generation: Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Michael Phelps. But no relationship shaped him more than the 12 years he spent as Coach Wooden's mentee. Whether or not you're a sports fan, I promise you: the lessons Don shares are as universal as it gets. We explore what it really means to win in business and in life. The greatest leaders in history already figured this out. The question is why the rest of us aren't following their lead. In this episode you'll learn:  ➡️ Why the winningest coach in college basketball history never talked about winning (and what he focused on instead) ➡️ The Bill Walton story that reveals how great leaders hold standards without exceptions (even for their best people)  ➡️ How one conversation with John Wooden transformed Don's marriage & the weekly habit he's kept for 16+ years  ➡️ What Delta CEO Ed Bastian's "virtuous cycle" can teach any leader about putting people before results  ➡️ What a great mentor actually look like and how to know when you've found one If you've ever chased the short-term win at the cost of the long game… this episode is the reset you didn't know you needed.  This… is A Bit of Optimism. + + + Join Don for a live Q&A on Leaderful on April 27th at 12pm ET: https://leaderful.simonsinek.com/browse/events/OMNjQIJ19cDDjjYRFbIge  Join the Leaderful app!

Send us Fan MailSome Olympic controversies are loud for a week. Others echo for decades and make you question the whole idea of “the best athlete wins.” We sit down with pizza and a drink and build a Top 10 list of controversial United States Olympic moments, counting down the stories that still spark arguments at bars, in comment sections, and in living rooms during every Games.We hit the headline-makers, like Ryan Lochte's 2016 scandal, and the unforgettable Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan saga tied to the road to Lillehammer. Then we get into the moments that split public opinion right down the middle: Simone Biles stepping back in 2021 to protect her mental health, and Sha'Carri Richardson's marijuana ban, which opens up a real conversation about Olympic drug rules, federal vs state legality, and what “fairness” is actually supposed to mean.From there, we roll through judging and scoring chaos across eras, including Jordan Chiles and the podium-whiplash of a late inquiry, Marion Jones and the lasting stain of doping, the infamous 1972 USA vs USSR basketball finish, and why razor-thin timing debates like Michael Phelps' 2008 butterfly can still feel unsettled. We also talk about why judged sports like boxing can become lightning rods, with Roy Jones Jr's 1988 decision as the ultimate example of how a medal can be taken without ever being physically lost.If you like sports history, Olympic scandals, and honest debate, hit play, then subscribe and share this with a friend who loves the Games.

Our pal Dave Sheinin covered the whole wide world of sports for The Washington Post for three decades and made his first post-exit interview with Nestor a classic, discussing his best journeys to Jamaica and China with Usain Bolt and a life spent near the pool of Michael Phelps. And then there were all of the World Series games and baseball insider tales. The post Former Washington Post sportswriter Dave Sheinin returns to discuss sports journalism and Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Send us Fan MailThe Olympic moments we never forget are rarely just about the score. They are about nerves, timing, pressure, and the weird way one perfect run or one impossible upset can turn into a lifelong memory you can replay on demand.We're back with one of our favorite formats: a Top 10 countdown of the most iconic U.S. Olympic moments in history. We go sport by sport and era by era, from Mary Lou Retton's trailblazing gymnastics gold to Simone Biles' dominance, from Florence Griffith Joyner's still-unbroken sprint records to Michael Phelps rewriting what “greatest swimming performance” even means. We also dig into track and field greatness like Alison Felix and Carl Lewis, then step into Olympic history with Jesse Owens in Berlin and why that moment still carries weight far beyond medals.Of course, we argue about the order, because you can't talk Olympics without debate. We break down why the Miracle on Ice remains the gold standard for underdog stories, then hit honorable mentions like Kerri Strug's 1996 vault and Muhammad Ali lighting the Atlanta torch. Matt also brings in winter Olympic takes, including a heartfelt nod to Mikaela Shiffrin, plus a very opinionated skiing vs snowboarding etiquette segment that every mountain regular will recognize.We also share a quick community “winner of the week” story that hits the same theme of people showing up for each other, and we spotlight Buddy from Detroit Dog Rescue who needs a home.

Dr. Joi Edwards is a physical therapist with nearly 20 years of experience specializing in orthopedic injuries and a licensed massage therapist who bridges the gap between clinical assessment and intuitive soft-tissue work. She joins Whitney on The Thinking Practitioner to dive deep into the world of cupping therapy—exploring the physiological mechanisms, the various types of tools, and why this ancient modality is about much more than just leaving red marks on the skin. Joi's fascination with cupping began in the clinic when she discovered the modality "pre-Michael Phelps" and noticed an immediate 15-degree increase in her own shoulder's range of motion after experimenting with the cups. Her journey was further shaped by international patients who shared how their families had used cupping for generations to treat everything from systemic colds to localized chronic pain. This episode is an exploration of how decompression—rather than the compression typically associated with massage—can restore tissue mechanics and stimulate a nervous system response that even the most skilled manual techniques sometimes can't replicate. ✨ Topics discussed include: Whitney and Joi walk through the different categories of cupping, the science of tissue decompression, and how to safely integrate cups into a clinical practice. Joi's transition from physical therapy to massage therapy—and why she felt compelled to integrate the two. The history of cupping: from hollowed-out animal horns used for "snake bites" to modern medical-grade silicone. Wet cupping (Hijama) vs. Dry cupping: understanding the scope of practice and the cultural significance of bloodletting. The physics of the "Pinch Grip" and "Donut Drop": how different application methods change the treatment. Decompression vs. Compression: how cups create space in the soft tissue to allow for better "glide and slide". What's in a circle? Capillary dilation and interstitial seepage vs. the misconception of traumatic bruising. The importance of assessment: why you shouldn't just "put a cup on it" without evaluating the person in front of you. Clinical techniques: "Popcorning," gliding, and the "Monkey Bar" technique for spinal decompression. Hygiene and maintenance: the specific protocols for sanitizing medical-grade silicone. ✨ Resources: Owlchemy Education: https://owlchemyeducation.com  Connect with Dr. Joi Edwards on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok: @owlchemymassage

We are time-traveling back to 1934 to celebrate Baseball in Baltimore! Wait. Baltimore! Hometown of Spiro Agnew, Michael Phelps, and Spankrock. The place where Edgar Allen Poe disembarked a train and then died. Wait, stop — you don't get to intro with this cute cultural smattering, "next we'll visit Cleveland, Dreeeew Carey!" Cards out, I wanted to have a baseball game presented to an audience and have it be a historical setting. As if we were standing in the venue, time traveling dudes… and ladies. But I didn't want the insane challenge of a baseball radio broadcast set in a historically accurate saloon. Vintage fans carrying on in historically accurate ways would be an extreme challenge and so I chose the 1934 All Star Game (in a wealthy person bar). Time travel? Baltimore? Baseball? Did the Orioles even exist at this point?Ok so there was a minor league Orioles— oh! they had this pitcher Lefty Grove. A Marylander, (minor league) Oriole, Future Hall of Famer… Lefty was traded for an outfield fence in Martinsburg. Lefty Grove was very much a way I could have tied Baltimore to the 1934 All Star Game… if he was in that All Star game. ****. Lefty Grove was an All Star in '33, '35, '36, '37, '38, '39.  I tried to find the 1933 All Star Game broadcast — a game which native son Babe Ruth clobbered a two run shot and Lefty Grove secured the save. That totally would have strengthened my case for presenting the All Star Game in Charm City...And I failed to find it in full.So… 1934! Baltimore! Look I promise I found us a neat place to listen to the game. Behold, the structurally beautiful Hotel Rennert, one of the city's early skyline darlings (now a parking lot). It was the place for area titans to smoke cigars and bro it up the super formal way dudes did back then.Digging into the hotel's history turned out to be as complicated as I should have anticipated. The Hotel Rennert's fine dining reputation rested on chefs like Henry Cummings, a formerly enslaved man who moved to Baltimore and became a fixture as chef and caterer. He was an “expert in the preparation of terrapin… and all kinds of rare games in famous old Maryland style.”I found some Hotel Rennert menus (lunch and dinner) with plans to make a lazy inflationary joke (¢15 lobster?!) until I read on the back: “…From the very inception of the hostelry in 1885 it has employed only colored chefs and colored waiters." And being way out of my depth, I wondered how to digest that. Everything has been silly and light so far.  Do I ignore and move on? So Old Line Plate, a blog of Maryland culinary history, helped shed some light on why a place like Hotel Rennert might advertise its employment practices on the menu. Old Line Plate cites Afro-American's December 1915 edition: “The French chef has been tried in the south, but, except in a few rare instances, they have failed to satisfy the peculiar demands of the southern epicure or even of the tourist who, coming south, expects dishes peculiarly southern... The demand for capable colored cooks is greater than the supply." Smithsonian Magazine detailed how American recipes in the 1800s shifted from “puddings, pies, and roasted meats” to include dishes like “pepper pot, okra stew, gumbo, and jambalaya” as African foodways were woven into American cuisine.Was this about serving better food, or were there broader forces at play? This is 1934—thirteen years before Jackie Robinson. We will only hear the All Stars that were allowed to play (IE: no Willie Wells, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson). Tom Manning, Ford Bond and Graham McNamee had the call for NBC. McName got his start in radio announcing by walking into a radio station and asking if anyone needed an opera singer.

I recently had a long conversation with a very successful professional. He's 58 years old. Highly educated. Respected in his field. Financially sophisticated — in fact, his job depends on understanding money. If you looked at his résumé, you would assume he was completely set for life. He wasn't. A couple of bad investments. Some concentration risk. A few decisions that looked reasonable at the time. And suddenly he's essentially back at ground zero — trying to start a new business at 58. This story is far more common than people realize. The Dangerous Assumption is that many successful professionals assume they'll be fine. Doctors. Lawyers. Executives. Entrepreneurs. They make high incomes. They understand finance. They know about markets and interest rates and diversification. They focus on their career. They focus on income. They even focus on investing. What they don't focus on is their own financial future with the same intensity they focus on their profession. There's a difference. Being financially literate is not the same thing as being financially intentional. Especially when you assume you always have more time. The Good News at 58 is that he still has time. A lot of time. For entrepreneurs especially, it doesn't take 25 years to rebuild. It can take five. There's a quote often attributed to Bill Gates: “Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in five.” That quote is brutally accurate. In one year, starting a business feels overwhelming. Progress feels slow. Revenue is inconsistent. Doubt creeps in. But five years? Five years of focused effort, smart strategy, capital discipline, and experience compounded? That can change your entire financial trajectory. I've Seen This Movie Before. I have a very good friend who was worth over $40 million in his early 30s during the real estate boom. Then 2008 happened. The real estate debacle didn't just dent him — it wiped him out. For years, he struggled. Pride gone. Lifestyle reset. Just trying to survive. Most people would have mentally retired at that point. They would have blamed the market, blamed the system, blamed bad luck. But about six or seven years ago, he found his rhythm again. New strategy. New focus. New discipline. Today, he's worth over $60 million. I get that's not normal. But it proves something important. It Doesn't Take a Lifetime. The examples I just gave are extreme. Most people don't lose $40 million. Most people aren't rebuilding at 58. But the principle is universal: It doesn't take a lifetime to secure your future. It takes a focused season. A defined period where you are intensely clear about your objective. A stretch where: • You work harder than you're comfortable with • You manage risk better than you used to • You stop assuming income equals security • You align your decisions with a specific financial target for the future There's another quote I love: “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” Luck isn't random. It compounds around preparation, visibility, and persistence. When you are laser-focused on a financial goal, you start seeing opportunities others miss. You make better introductions. You ask sharper questions. You move faster when something makes sense. And over time, it looks like “luck.” The story of the 58-year-old professional isn't a warning about markets. It's a warning about complacency. Success in your profession does not automatically translate into security in your future. Income is not wealth. Financial literacy is not financial strategy. And intelligence does not eliminate risk. But here's the good news. If you're in your 40s or 50s and feel behind — you're not done. If you made a bad investment — you're not finished. If you took a hit — that's not your final chapter. You may just be at the beginning of your five-year season. The key is focus. Direct yourself to a destination you can visualize. That's the only way you will get there. Because in the end, securing your future rarely requires a lifetime of perfection. It requires a concentrated period of intensity. And the sooner you decide to enter that season — the sooner your next five years will start compounding in your favor.

Now, as for today’s show, I had a, uh, a long conversation with a very successful professional, recently 58, highly educated, respected, financially sophisticated, in fact, in the money business. Uh, and if you look at his resume, you would assume he was completely set for life, but he wasn’t. A couple of bad investments, some concentration risk. A few decisions that looked reasonable at the time, and suddenly he’s back pretty much to ground zero trying to figure out what to do, and he’s thinking about starting a new business or maybe buying a business. Well, that got me thinking because the reality is this story is far more common than people realize, and I actually hear it fair amount. Right? Many successful professionals assume they’re gonna be fine. Doctors, lawyers, executives, entrepreneurs, making high incomes. Maybe they understand finance, they know about markets, interest rates and diversification in theory. But here’s the trap. You focus on your career. You focus on income. What they don’t focus on is their own financial future with the same intensity. They focus on the profession, and that’s. The difference, right? The issue is that being financially literate is not the same thing as being financially intentional. Now, I actually hate that word because it’s a very, uh, uh, neo agey word intentional. But in this case, I will use it because that it’s very, it’s very appropriate. But here’s the good news, even at 58, right, you still have time. You have a lot of time for, especially for entrepreneurs, it doesn’t take 25 years to rebuild. It can take five. And there’s this quote, um, it’s often attributed to Bill Gates, who, who’s been in the news lately for a lot of other stuff, but this is a good quote. He says, most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in five. And that quote is so true. I will, it’s incredibly powerful and it’s very, very useful to think about and. Put in the back of your mind because in a year, like you’re saying, you’re starting a business, it’s gonna feel overwhelming. You may lose money, you know, slow progress, revenue, inconsistent five years, you know, with focused effort and you know, good strategy and discipline. The financial trajectory of your life could completely change over that five years. In fact, I will say that with my first business that I ever started, that is absolutely what happened. I was just pretty much outta residency, didn’t have any money, and within five years I was rocking and rolling. You know, it was a, it was, you know, it wasn’t worth, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars. But I, I, I was, I was doing way better. If you look over five years, it’s an incredible trajectory. And it’s not just me. I mean, there’s guys who’ve done it more extreme ways. I talk about this friend, a lot of times he was worth like 30 or $40 million in his early thirties, and then 2008 happened. It didn’t just kinda dent him, it wiped him out, and for years he struggled. Lifestyle kind of reset a little bit, just trying to survive. You know, there’s this saying in business that the key to su success in business is to stick around long enough until you get lucky again. Well, sometimes that’s true. And a lot of people might have, uh, kind of mentally retired at that point. But the reality is he stuck with it. He rebuilt about six or seven years. He was kind of sideways, then another six or seven years, new focus, new discipline, and today worth 60 million bucks. Now, that’s not normal, right? But it does provide, uh, it does, it does kind of provide an important point. It doesn’t take a lifetime always. Now most people don’t lose $40 million, and most people aren’t rebuilding necessarily from zero at 58, but the principle really is universal. It doesn’t take a lifetime to secure your future. It takes a focus season to find period where you’re intensely clear about your objective. It’s a stretch where you work harder than you’re comfortable with, and maybe it’s not fun to do that in your fifties or sixties. You manage risk better than you used to. You stop assuming income equals security. You align your decisions with a specific financial target. You know what, there’s a another line I love, another quote, and I don’t know where this one comes. I, I, I think it was some hockey coach of mine way back. It’s that the harder you work, the luckier you get. The thing is that luck isn’t random, right? It compounds. Around preparation and visibility and persistence. And when you’re laser focused on a financial goal, you’re gonna start seeing opportunities that are out there that others might miss. You’re gonna make, you know, better introductions, ask sharp questions. You move faster when something makes sense, and over time it starts to look like luck. I think the real lesson, um, about the situation that people get into, like this person I was talking about is. That it, it’s not a warning about markets per se, although markets have a lot to do with it. It’s a warning about complacency. You know, success in your profession does not automatically translate into security in your future. You know, income as you know, is not really wealth and financial literacy is not financial strategy. Although literacy is really, really important. You gotta have a strategy. And you can be really, really smart and not eliminate, you know, or mitigate risk enough. So if you’re in your forties or fifties and feel behind, you’re not done. Okay? You made a bad investment, you’re not finished. If you took a hit, I’ve taken plenty of heads, especially the last few years. It’s not your final chapter. You may just be looking at the beginning of your next five year season. And the key is focus clear goals, define targets, discipline, action. The sooner you decide to enter that season, the sooner your next five years will start compounding in your favor. Man, I gotta tell you, this is a, an ongoing story I hear a lot about, so again, think about that Bill Gates quote, you, you know, people tend to way overestimate what they can do in a year. Grossly underestimate what they could do in five. Anyway. There’s no one who knows this better than my guest on this week’s Wealth Formula podcast. Rod Cleef. Many of you already know him. We’ll have that conversation right after these messages. Wealth Formula banking is an ingenious concept powered by whole life insurance, but instead of acting just as a safety net, the strategy supercharges your investments. First, you create a personal financial reservoir that grows at a compounding interest rate much higher than any bank savings account as your money accumulates. You borrow from your own bank to invest in other cash flowing investments. Here’s the key. Even though you’ve borrowed money at a simple interest rate, your insurance company keeps paying you compound interest on that money even though you’ve borrowed it. At result, you make money in two places at the same time. That’s why your investment. Get supercharged. This isn’t a new technique. It’s a refined strategy used by some of the wealthiest families in history, and it uses century old rock solid insurance companies as its backbone. Turbocharge your investments.

He’s a real estate investor, author, and mentor with decades of experience in multifamily investing. Uh, he’s built and sold hundreds of millions, uh, in, in apartment assets and teaches thousands of investors through coaching masterclasses and his life. Uh, lifetime Cash Flow Academy. Uh, rod, how you doing? Good, brother. Good to see you, my friend. Let’s review, but you know a little bit about you, your background. Sure. You know, uh, sure. We have an interesting story. Okay, well I’m a Dutch immigrant, you know, think wooden shoes and windmills. I immigrated to this country, uh, when I was six years old with my brother Albert, my mother’s cia. Um, and we ended up in Denver, Colorado. Uh, struggled initially. Really struggled actually. And, and I remember, uh, wearing hand me down clothes all the way through junior high school until I finally lied about my age when I was 14 ’cause I was tall and said I was 15 so I could flip burgers at Burger King. You know, and I’m sure you’ve got listeners that had it harder than I did, but I knew I wanted more. And luckily my mom had an incredible work ethic and so she babysat kids so we’d have enough money to eat. And with her babysitting money, she was an entrepreneur and invested in real estate. Um, and her first real estate acquisition was the house right across the street from us. When I was 14, she paid about $30,000. And then when I was 17, she told me she’d made $20,000 in her sleep. It had gone up in value. And I’m like, what? Forget college. I’m getting into real estate. So I. Went and got my real estate broker’s license right when I turned 18, which you could do back then with education. Now they got, they got smart you, they need some, you need some experience. But, uh, I was a broker. I was smart enough to go work for a broker. But, um, you know, my first year in real estate I made about eight grand. My second year, maybe 10 grand, but my third year I made over a hundred thousand dollars, which back in 1980 was some pretty decent money. And so what happened between year two and year three? Uh, the 10 x my income was what? What happens? I met a, a guy, he was a broker. I was working for actually, it taught me about the importance of mindset and psychology and how really 80 to 90% of your success in anything is just that your mindset and psychology. So fast forward to today, I’ve, I’ve owned over 2000 houses that I’ve rented long term. I own thousands of apartments now, and I’m also buying senior housing now, which I’m excited about. And you know, in 2006, my net worth went up $17 million while I slept. And you might say, wow. I said, wow, I got a head so big I could barely fit it through a door. And I thought I was a real estate God. And you know, when that happens, God of the universe will give you a nice little SmackDown. Well, that was 2008. I conservatively lost $50 million in 2008 and nine. What I’m known for talking about on my podcast, which I’m blessed to say at this point’s, the largest, uh, commercial real estate podcast really in the world at this point is, and, and the reason being is I spend time talking about mindset. You know, people don’t remember what you said, but they remember how you make him feel. And I do little clips every week called Own Your Power, their motivational clips. And, and I think that’s the reason it’s been so well received. But, uh, you know, I’m known for talking about the. Mindset it took to have 50 million to lose in the first place. And you know, maybe more importantly, the mindset it took to recover from losing it. But, uh, you know, I’d love to, we can chat about that if you like, or I’d love to talk about the state. Yeah. Whatever you It’s a, it’s, I think it’s appropriate to talk about that right now, rod. I mean, I think Okay. You know, in this, in this market with what we had, you know, um, you know, there’s been a, there’s been a lot of pain in multifamily and Yeah. You know, it’s, you know, you and I have talked about this before where. Part of success is, is trying to recognize particular situations. Um, you know, you talk about Warren Buffet and how Warren Buffet says be greedy, when others are fearful and all that, that’s great, but it’s really hard to do. Right? And so help us understand like, sure. You know, uh, how, how do you, how do you do that? Sure. How did you go and how bad did it get? Well, I lost 50 million. I lost $50 million, so it got pretty freaking bad. Okay. I call ’em seminars. That was an expensive seminar. Yeah. Yeah. And very little, uh, so it was, it was ugly. It was ugly, but. It was, it’s, I, I’ll be, I’ll be candid. The strategies I’ll share very briefly here, the strategies, I’ll share the same strategies you would use to get started. Okay. You know, if, if you know you need to do something, and we talked about this, uh, uh, before we started recording, you know, the. With ai, a lot of jobs are going away. You know, if you heard of Elon Musk on, on Joe Rogan’s last epi episode, or the last interview he did with Joe Rogan, you know, he said any job in front of a computer is pretty much gonna be gone like lightning, like a year or two. I mean that fast. It’s crazy. And so, you know, and even, you know, surgeons are, are, are, are gonna be replaced by robotics and, and on and on and you know, and I think there’s gonna be it professionals, uh, you know, there’s gonna be a lot of. Pain for the people that don’t proactively, you know, reinvent themselves, start thinking about what they’re gonna do to reinvent themselves. Maybe it’s an ai, maybe you’ll learn ai, but, but you better think about it now or if you’re in one of these positions. So when the shoe drops, you’re ready because. Uh, there’s a lot of opportunity. I mean, there’s 10,000 people a day turning 65 in this country. You could buy businesses, um, you know, uh, I’m in, I’m, I’m excited about senior housing. They need beds, you know, and, and there’s a huge shortage of beds, but, so there’s a lot of opportunity, but you better pick something if you’re in one of these fields and get busy starting to study it and learn it, and do it on the side so that when the shoe drops, you’re ready. That’s, I don’t wanna scare you, but I just wanna open your eyes. To that fact. But so how, how I recovered from losing $50 million again, is the same strategy I would tell you to use to get started. And it’s first thing, it starts with goals. You gotta figure out what it is you want. ’cause how do you get anything if you don’t know what it is? Because with the goals you create a burning desire or a hunger and you’ve gotta have that to push through fear and limiting beliefs and so on and so forth. And, um. You know, I, I, that’s, if you come to one of my bootcamps, I do a virtual bootcamp every couple of months. It’s two days. I don’t sell anything there. And I’ll tell you later how you can come for 47 bucks. So it’s no excuse. But, but the first thing we do is goal setting on steroids, uh, because you’ve got, again, you’ve gotta create that hunger. Now, I’ll, I’ll say this to you, if you have no interest in, in, uh, learning what I teach. At my link tree, I did my goal setting workshop. It’s an hour. There’s a guide you can download if you go to rodslinks.com or text the word links if you’re driving, uh, to 7, 2, 3, 4, 5 at the bottom. My, is my goal setting workshop. And you know, here’s the thing, buck, people spend more time planning a freaking birthday party than they do designing their lives. Doing your goals is designing your life. So you know, if, if, uh, if you haven’t done ’em in a while, go to Rods, links, go at the bottom. There’s my workshop, there’s a guide. You can download ’em. Not gonna try to sell you anything. Spend an hour with me. Have your spouse do it. Have your kids do it if they’re over 10 years old, and design their lives. So again, it starts with goals. So that’s the first thing I did was reassociate with my goals. Then the second piece is you gotta make a decision. And I don’t mean dip your toe in the water. I don’t mean one foot in, one foot out. I mean, you decide it’s done. Okay. The Latin root for the word decision means to cut off. If you’re gonna attack the island, you burn your ships ’cause you’re taking their ships home. That’s a decision. And, and that’s what I did. I said, okay, enough, quit feeling sorry for yourself. Pick yourself up and go make something happen. And that’s, that’s what I did back then when I lost everything. But it’s the same thing again. If you’re, if you’re in a job and you’re. You’re just not where you want to be. So we make that decision and then you gotta take the first step, uh, you know, buck. And that’s, that’s pretty much it. You know, Dr. Martin Luther King said, you take that first step in faith, the next step will be revealed. And you know, LA Sue said the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But, you know, in our business and, and, and the investors that we deal with and, and the, you know. Uh, active investors and, and, and passive both, as many of ’em are very analytical and you know who you are. If that’s you and I love you, you’re some of the most successful students that I have and successful people in our businesses. However, I also know how you have to check off every single box before you make a move, and you can’t do that here. Okay? You’ve got to, you’ve got to recognize that you’ve gotta have enough faith. To get started, you know, you can go all the way across the United States at night with your headlight only seeing 50 feet in front of you. And, you know, you can make it, you know, other people have done it before you, you know, there’s a, there’s a, there’s a, a road. And, uh, it’s the same way. You may have some obstacles, but, uh, it’s the same way with this business or really any business. But you, you, you’ve got to take that first step. And, you know, a, a lot of people fear failure, and I’m gonna tell you, don’t fear failure. Fear being in the same place you are right now, a year or two from now, unless you absolutely freak. Love where you are right now. Fear, fear, regret. That’s what I would fear if I were you. I, I, there was this nurse in Australia, a hospice nurse, uh, and her name was Bronny Ware. She asked patients when, who were about to die, if they had any regrets, and she wrote a book about it as a national bestseller. Something like The Five Regrets of Dying. You know what the number on regret was? It was Living the, not Living the Life I could have lived living someone else’s life, not doing what I know. I’m capable of fear that don’t fear failure, you know? Well, the next piece is fear and limiting beliefs. So fear, you know, every successful person have has fear. Now we, we, we, entrepreneurs call it stress, but it’s fear. And, you know, action mitigates fear. You wanna mitigate fear, take action. Go do something. If I’m, if I’m laying in bed at night, it’s three in the clock in the freaking morning and something stresses me out again, stress is fear. That’s what we achievers call stress. Uh, it’s fear. Uh, and, and, um. If something wakes me up and I’m stressed about it, I literally will get outta bed and just go write down some notes. I used to have a pen with an electrical pen that drove my ex-wife crazy and I’d, I’d write notes sometimes fill up pages of notes in bed so that I’m taking some action so I can go back to sleep. So there’s a, there’s a very simple example of it, but anytime that I am fearful about something, I take massive action towards it. Just, just taking steps, doing things. That will mitigate it. And it’s just how it works. So, I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s as simple as that buck. I mean, you just have to do some things. Towards that fear now. Now, the other thing is, if you don’t take action, the fear expands. So that’s the, uh, uh, that’s the antithesis there. So, so you, you need to take action because that’ll, that’ll mitigate it. The, the next piece really is limiting beliefs. You know, when I immigrated this country, I didn’t speak English. I got thrown into school, found out what bullies were for the first time. So I got my butt kicked occasionally, hadn’t learned how to fight back, and then my mom, this is the prop, sent me to school in these wooden shoes. And these are the actual wooden shoes. We found them. When we put her in senior house, senior living in, and these leather shorts, the Germans wear for October Fest, I had to wear that to school. And of course that was crack cocaine for the fricking bully. So I got my ass kicked again. And don’t wooden shoes, rod Or, or those, yeah. Yeah. Wooden shoes. Wooden shoes. Yeah. These are from Holland, man. That’s where I was born. Yeah. My mom. Proud Dutch woman. Yeah. This is, they’re wood. They’re real wood. The farmers still wear these things, uh, ’cause they’re good to go through mud, but they’re crack cocaine for bullies. Okay? And so, yeah, you know, uh, I, I, I got my butt kicked again and, and I came up with this belief system that I wasn’t good enough. I used to ask myself, how can I show them I’m good enough? And a lot of people have these limiting belief systems. I’m not good enough. I’m not courageous enough. I’m not strong enough. I’m not old enough. I’m not young enough. Here’s the thing to remember. There’s a reason the acronym for Belief Systems is BS because 99% of them are bs, but we believe they’re real. I mean, I used to be afraid to raise my hand in front of 10 kids in a classroom, and because of fear of rejection, now I speak in front of thousands of people a year, usually in flip-flops. Okay, so you know, you can mitigate this. So if you’re aware of one of these. Limiting beliefs, BS belief systems, drag it out into the daylight. Look at it with your adult rational mind. You’ll recognize that it’s BS and it will dissipate. But you gotta, you gotta think about it consciously and it’ll, it’ll go away. Um, the, the next piece is focus. Um, you know, focus really is power and whatever we focus on gets bigger, both positive or negative. Okay? So it’s very important that you focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. I’ll get, people call me and say, how do I get outta my student loan debt? I’m like, wrong question. How do you make so much money? The debt’s irrelevant, is the question you need to be asking. They asked Mother Theresa if she was anti-war. She said, no, I’m pro peace. I mean, you get it, right? And, and so, and in fact, I’ll give you another example. So I, I, my podcast is over, I believe, over 30 million downloads, which doesn’t sound like a lot in our social media world, but in, in the podcasting space, it’s not bad. But I listened to two podcasts, Joe Rogan and Tim Ferris. I try to get both sides of the aisle. I’m definitely on, on one side. Uh, but, but, um. They get, and the reason I bring that up is they get about 30 million a week, you know, but that big podcast. But, but, um, on, on Tim Ferriss’ show, he interviews the best of the best in the world. You know, the best athletes like Michael Phelps, NFL players and NFL players, NBA players, actors like Hugh Jackman, ed Norton, Jamie Fox, Arnold billionaires like Ray Dalio, heads of the biggest companies on the planet like Zuckerberg. And he deconstructs their success. It’s very intelligent conversation. I mean, I, I love listening to it. I started to hear a pattern, uh, they almost all meditate. What does meditation enhance? Focus, right? So focus is a really important piece of, of, of success. And just a couple more. One is playing, the next one is playing to your strengths. You know, when, when you, when you go to reinvent yourself or if you’re struggling, you know, or, or gonna start something. Play to your strengths and hire a align or partner for your weaknesses. Like in our world, you know, there’s lots of different hats you can wear. It’s a team sport. You could be the person that finds the deals and analyzes them. If you’re analytical, you could be the mouthpiece like me or you, and you’re, you know, raising money, talking to brokers and, and getting the word out. You could be the. You know, the um, asset manager, if you’ve got some project management experience, construction experience, there’s lots of different hats you can wear, but you wanna play to your strengths. Your strengths are your greatest assets. Don’t try to maximize your fears. You’re gonna get much further. Like I said, if you hire aligner partner for your weaknesses, you know, some of the most successful. Um, partnerships I see in the business are an analytical, introverted person with an extroverted, outgoing person. I mean, that’s a match made in heaven in our business. ’cause our business is primarily empirical. You ask the right questions, uh, and, and you get the numbers right. You know, it’s kind of hard to make a big mistake. Um, and so. You know, just make sure you’re playing to your strengths and when you’re playing to your strengths, you’re gonna have passion and passion’s required to influence people. Right? ’cause you love what you do, so you’re passionate about it. So again, real heavy duty argument to play to your strengths. Yeah, I think the last piece, the last piece is, is peer group. Um, you know, who you hang out with is who you become. You’ve heard it, you’ve heard it before. So if you’re gonna get into something, get around people that are doing it. Like my Warrior Coaching program, I’m, I’m gonna brag. I, I, like I said, they own 300,000 multifamily units that we know of. I’m, I, it’s, we’re counting, uh, we know it’s close to 300,000. We’re at like 275,000 or something. I know there’s a lot we’re missing. And, you know, tons of senior housing, tons of self storage, tons of industrial flex space, um, retail mixed use, you name it. Uh, mobile home parks, and. Almost all of those deals were done between warriors, between my students. So you know, ha, who you hang out with is who you become. You know, if you show me your three best friends, I’ll show you who you are in your relationships, your happiness, your health, and definitely your finances. But see, so many people default to a peer group they went to school with or they work with, and those people with their own fears or limiting beliefs might hold you back, you know, afraid of losing you, afraid of feeling less than if you succeed. And sometimes it’s family. I’m gonna tell you, love your family, but proactively choose your peers. Right? You know, and when I was losing everything in 2008 and oh nine, I was in Tony Robbins Platinum Partnership and there were people there that were killing it in that crash, uh, you know, thriving. And they’re like, get up, you puss. 50 million Schmill. Go make something happen. That’s who you wanna be around, not only while you’re building, but certainly when the proverbial stuff hits the fan, right? Uh, so anyway. I, that those are, those are some of the big pieces. Yeah. Well, that, I mean, that’s, let, let’s talk a little bit about the, the business that you’re in. Um, you know, you’re, you’re heavily involved with real estate. Obviously these, uh, mindset things are a great place to start. Now you go out there, let’s talk about where the market actually is and what you’re seeing in this market right now. Does your represent opportunity to you? There’s a ton of opportunity because there’s a ton of people in trouble, sadly. Right. Okay. A lot, a lot of people got adjustable bridge debt. You know, these rates have gone through the moon. I’ll give you a small example. We were looking at a small asset in San Antonio where I’ve got some assets and I. And there, the lender reserve payment that this guy had to pay to prepare for a refinance went from 8,000 a month to 80,000 a month. Do you think that’s painful? Right. And you know, and, and when you’ve got a multi tens of millions of dollar loan on a property and the interest rates adjust several points, you’re done. And, and so that’s just on the interest rate piece. Uh, mentioning my SEC attorney had six foreclosures in one day, apartment complexes, uh, clients, new clients that came to him, he told me like three weeks ago. So who knows how many since then. But you know, there’s a lot of deals and trouble and it’s sad. It’s very sad. But, uh, that’s just one piece is the loans. Uh, the expenses have gone through the thick and roof. I mean, I’ve got maintenance supervisor that’s making $40 an hour at this point, which is crazy. Uh, you know, I, I teach at my bootcamps. Uh, I used to teach a 50% expense ratio. That’s what you want to have. Now I teach 60% ’cause they’ve gone up that much. And so, you know, there’s a lot of pain in the market. But with crisis comes opportunity. There’s incredible deals. I’ve got a a, a 200 unit asset in San Antonio. Um. That is on a lake, and right next door is a 300 unit, 300 plus unit asset. Um, it’s sold the 300 units sold for 43 million in 21 or 22. It’s, it’s with the bank, it’s down to 28 million now. And I’m not even interested unless it gets to 24, unless the rates drop significantly. And so 43 to 24. So that’s what’s out there right now. And di I think you just bought a, a deal at like a 40% discount, didn’t you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And here’s the thing, which is what I wanted to get into as well, and I I just bring, bring people’s attention to it, is that these times in history don’t happen that frequently. Right? Right. And it, and it’s interesting what the, the last multiple, uh, opportunities we’ve, we’ve, we’ve capitalized on, they have been all these situations where it’s a debt problem, right? It’s, it’s an asset that’s performing fine. But someone’s got a month, uh, to go and they just need to get out. They’re gonna lose all their equity, their debts due. Um, yeah, their debts do, there’s like this, this wall of debt, like, I think it’s like a trillion dollars of debt due by the end of this year. So what we’re seeing is, you know, the last several opportunities, 30 to 40% discounts on basis, uh, compared to just two or three years ago. And I think the challenges for investors is that like. In the background, those of us who’ve been through the pain are still feeling the pain and you feel very gun shy about it, right? Yeah. Yeah. Um, and you also start thinking, well, 30 to 40% discounts. Uh, you know, this, this is, this sounds very scary, but in, in reality, I, I’m trying to get people to understand that, that those discounts only last for so long, right? I mean, that if you look at like the, the debt. That’s out there. Most of that really bad debt washes away at the end of this year. At 2026. Yeah. After that, like those 30 to 40% discounts that like people are hearing so often, they’re not gonna be there anymore. No, that’s, and what I, and what I hate to see is people wait two or three years from now and all of a sudden there’s a frothy market and everybody’s jumping on the bwa. ’cause that’s what they always do. That’s not, you wanna be a net seller in that market. That’s right. And, and you know, it’s like you mentioned Warren Buffet’s famous quote, be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when they’re greedy. And, and so right now they’re fearful, which is making harder to raise money. And I’m, I’m having the same conversations. It’s like, Hey, if there was ever a time, it’s right now and now. Now the key, now the key. Differentiator or key factor is it’s all about cash flow. You know, like I said, that that deal at 43 is down to 28. 28 still doesn’t make sense for me. So it’s all about cash flow. And so, you know, I wrote a bestselling book. I’ll brag about, hang on, I’ll show it here. It’s called How to Create Lifetime Cash Flow through Multifamily Properties. The reason I bring this up is the subtitle is The New Rules of Real Estate Investing IE The new rules is it’s all about cash flow. I don’t, you know, I can brag about what you, you know, the discounts you can buy a property for, but it, it’s all about the numbers. It’s got a pencil, it, so cash flow is king. Um, so would you agree with that? Oh, a hundred percent. No. The interesting thing is though, that like, that’s a, that’s actually in real estate. That’s a principle I think a lot of people had, and I think what ends up happening is when the market gets frothy, you kind of skip that step, right? Because then what you’re, then what happens is that the market becomes so competitive that you’re trying to project, okay, I can get this from here to here and I can make it cash flow pretty quickly. And that’s when it gets dangerous, right? Yeah, yeah. Because listen, when Mark, when, when, when rates were, were as low as they were, you could do that. Now what? As soon as they started accelerating, well then you just got behind and, and you, you couldn’t catch up. And that’s kind of what happened. No, that’s it. And the expenses. Yeah. Yeah. They, the business about this market though, and maybe you can get some perspective on this, is what happens. You’ve experienced multiple real estate cycles and one of the opportunities that real estate investors have had throughout the decades is investing in a market where interest rates start to fall. What happens? Well, what happens is, is, is, is, is values As values go up, you know, and here’s the other thing, you know, uh, uh, with inflation, inflation’s not going away. And when you buy a property, the debt’s locked unless you do the adjustable rate thing. But if, if you get a normal, a normal mortgage. The, the rent, the debt is locked, but your, your interest, your rents are gonna continue to climb here. They’re going up, they’re gonna keep going up. And, you know, and, and of course the value of, of what we do is based on a multiple of the net income, the NOI, the net operating income. So any increase of the rents is gonna go to the bottom line. And, and so your values are gonna go up. So again, incredible opportunity to get into this real estate now. With the debasement of the US currency, with with, with all the money they’re printing and everything else, you’re, you’re seeing incredible rises in, in hard assets like gold, silver, of course, we saw a crash in Bitcoin ’cause it’s ethereal, it’s air, but, but real estate, uh, is, is you look at it over, over, you know, 50 years and, and it only goes one direction. It has some dips, but it continues to go one direction. And, and so, you know, I, I love real estate. I always have and. And, and always will. And so, you know, that’s why I teach it, you know, I do, I teach multi and I now teach multiple asset classes. I just taught multifamily for a long time, but now I teach pretty much every asset class and I’m, yeah. So what’s, uh, housing too? Yeah. Tell us a little bit about senior housing and um, yeah, what you’re doing there. I, I, I’ve only purchased one assisted living facility so far, but my students, my God, I can’t even count how many assisted living facilities and memory care units they have. But I, I’m, I’m gearing up. I have a whole team doing it. Uh, we’re cold calling and, and, and the, the, the out, the goal is. Is, uh, uh, 12 units in the next 18, I’m sorry, 12 separate facilities in the next 18 months. And we’re growing up to do that. Uh, we’ve got a ton of interest. And here’s the, here’s the reason why they call it the silver tsunami. There’s, there’s six, 10,000 people a day turning 65, and it goes forever. And it seems like forever. I mean like literally a over a decade and. And again, um, you know, those people. Uh, so there’s a lot of opportunity with that. There’s an opportunity to buy businesses as well. A lot of ’em wanna retire and own businesses, so there’s an opportunity there. But, but, um, in senior housing, there’s, there’s a huge shortage of beds. And, and I’m quite candidly, I’m not sure we’re gonna be able to match the need in the shortage of beds, but there’s a huge shortage of beds and, and so, um, you know, and to build new. The about the least you can build a place for is $200,000 a bed. Well, there are facilities that got crushed by COVID where you can buy. Facilities for sub a hundred dollars a bed. So there’s, there’s a, there’s an opportunity there that we’re capitalizing on. It’s very exciting. Uh, that won’t be around there a lot of, is there a lot of competition from, you know, big money institutions, that kind of thing in this space that are sort of pushing prices up? Because I would think if they would have to, yeah. Yeah. I would think they would have the same sort of thesis overall. So the larger facilities, yes. The, you know, I, I’m not doing the, the 200 bed facilities, you know, I’m in the 50 to a hundred range, you know, uh, kind of the mom and pop range as it were. Uh, and. So, at least to start, I mean, at some point I’ll compete with the larger ones, but we’re starting there and, and there’s just an incredible opportunity to, to get to, and the returns are fantastic. I mean, we’re seeing 15% cash on cash, 25% IRR, realistically not BS returns. And so, you know, it’s very exciting, honestly. And, and, and, and, and again, it’s got legs. It’s not going anywhere. It’s not like one of these things that’s cyclical. There’s, there’s the, these people are retiring. They’ve impacted everything from Pampers diapers to suburbia, and they’re gonna impact, you know, senior housing in a big way. So, um, you know, it’s, it’s that, that’s exciting. Yeah. I got crushed by that wave in 2008. I got crushed by that wave. I’m surfing this wave. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Good for you. So tell us, you know, a little bit more about how people can get involved. It sounds like you got a lot going on there. So tell us about Well, I, I, I teach, you know, I teach this stuff. I have, I’ve had, I dunno, upwards of 20,000 people attend my bootcamps by the way. Really never had a complaint except that the breaks are too short. ’cause I, I packed three days into two days, but I teach this business and soup to nuts, how to find deals, how to pick a market, how to pick a team, how to underwrite them, how to finance them, how to raise all the money for them, on and on. And so if you go to Rods. links.com. That’s my link tree. That’s where my goal setting workshop is. If you want to do your goals, do it there. But, uh, if you come to my bootcamp, that’s the first thing we do. Uh, ’cause I, I need to have you get very focused on what you want. But, um, you know, it’s two days of training. I don’t sell anything and you can come for $47. So tell me your excuse. Okay? And the bonus, the bonuses are thousands of dollars. You get my deal evaluator software, my document library. You get all this stuff. And you know, and candidly, if you come to the bootcamp and. On Monday, you decide it wasn’t worth it, you didn’t love it. I don’t mean like it, I mean, love it. I’ll give you your 47 bucks back. It’s never happened, but it’s first time for everything. So, yeah, no, I, I, I love what I do. It comes out and what I do, and I, I spend time on mindset too, because again, that’s 80 to 90% of it. That’s why my students are so freaking successful. They actually do it. Um, and so. I, I, I really love it, and that’s where I’ll continue to do it. So I’m, I’m doing one of these virtual events pretty much every month and a half. I’ve got one coming up, I don’t know when this’ll air. I’ve got one coming up in March, March 7th and eighth, and there’ll be one, you know, 60, 45, 60 days after that. So, yeah. Fantastic.

I went to my first HOA meeting… and I think I time-traveled to 1400.This week on Seven Minutes in Evan, I officially entered my mid-30s villain arc: caring about my community, arguing about fences, and almost getting nominated as HOA president against my will. We audit missing HOA money, cosplay medieval peasants, and somehow end up on Shark Week with Michael Phelps racing a CGI shark for custody of his kids.

Si quieres perder grasa corporal, es posible que hayas escuchado que necesitas crear un déficit calórico, pero ¿Qué es esto de un déficit calórico? Básicamente un déficit calórico viene a decir que necesitas darle al cuerpo menos calorías de las que necesita. Esto hace que haya 2 vías principales para generar este déficit: Comer menos y moverse más. Y precisamente este es el consejo que recibimos siempre. La pregunta es ¿Cómo lo hacemos? El ejercicio para crear un déficit calórico La forma más fácil de crear un déficit calórico no es matarse a hacer ejercicio. Yo siempre digo que el ejercicio que hagas debe usarse para construir, no para destruir. Es decir, tú vas al gimnasio no para quemar calorías, sino para fortalecer tu musculatura, ganar fuerza, ganar propiocepción, mejorar tu estabilidad… En resumen: Vas al gimnasio para tener más de algo, no para tener menos. Esto no significa que cuando vas al gimnasio a entrenar musculación no gastes calorías, claro que gastas, pero este gasto es algo incidental, no es el objetivo. No vas al gimnasio PARA quemar calorías, sino que vas al gimnasio y necesitas quemar calorías. Por tanto, la forma más fácil de generar un déficit calórico es controlar lo que comes. Esta es la vía más rápida porque NO comer 200 calorías es mucho más fácil y rápido que quemar 200 kcals, así que ante la duda , para generar un déficit calórico es mejor una caloría no consumida que una caloría gastada. Por eso defiendo tanto el tener un plan de alimentación, porque un plan de alimentación es precisamente la herramienta que te permite ponerle un techo a las calorías que consumes. Y sin este techo es prácticamente imposible crear un déficit calórico porque tú puedes comer cantidades abusivas, pero no puedes quemar cantidades abusivas, a menos que seas un Michael Phelps que se tire entrenando en una piscina 10 horas al día. Trucos para crear un déficit calórico El plan de alimentación es la herramienta número 1. Pero luego dentro del plan de alimentación, hay algunos trucos que permiten crear y ampliar ese déficit muy fácilmente. Por ejemplo, usar alimentos más ricos en proteína hace que un 15-20% de esas calorías se usen en la propia digestión y asimilación de los alimentos. Los carbohidratos serían los siguientes con un 10% más o menos y las grasas serían las últimas con un 5%. Esto no significa que la grasa engorda, pero si que es verdad que a efectos netos es mucho más calórica que la proteína o los carbohidratos. Sin contar con que cuando como un gramo de proteína eso son 4 kcals (de los cuales el 20% lo gastaré en la digestión), cuando consumo 1g de carbohidratos estoy metiendo 4 kcals (de los cuales el 10% lo usaré para la digestión) y cuando consumo 1 gramos de grasa estoy metiendo 9 kcals (de las cuales solo el 5% las gastaré en la digestión). Por eso, dietas más bajas en grasa suelen ser maneras más fáciles de crear un déficit calórico, porque simplemente si limitas las grasas y comes más proteína y carbohidratos vas a estar metiendo menos calorías en el cuerpo. Si además de esto consumes alimentos ricos en fibra y con baja densidad calórica (es decir que puedas comer mucho volumen pero que contenga pocas calorías), vas a estar saciado mucho más tiempo y te va a costar menos llevar el déficit calórico. Porque hay que dejar una cosa clara, y es que la forma más fácil de generar un déficit calórico es no comer. Si yo mañana no como nada, estoy en un déficit calórico. Pero se supone que estoy buscando crear un déficit calórico para perder grasa corporal y en un día no voy a perder una cantidad notable de grasa corporal, con lo que el déficit calórico tiene que durar varias semanas o varios meses. Y es imposible estar sin comer tantas semanas, entonces no te vale con ayunar o matarte de hambre, sino que tiene que ser algo relativamente llevadero. El hambre y el déficit calórico La sensación de hambre la vas a tener, porque hambre y déficit calórico van de la mano. Porque por definición, si un déficit calórico es consumir menos energía de la que el cuerpo necesita, cuando el cuerpo percibe eso te empieza a decir que necesita más energía ¿Y cómo te lo dice? Mediante el hambre. Pero esto está bien, tener hambre está bien. Y si quieres perder grasa corporal tienes que acostumbrarte a convivir con el hambre. Es imposible perder peso sin pasar hambre. Otra cosa es que el hambre que tengas sea algo descontrolado, pero es importante no engañarse a uno mismo ni dejarse engañar por mensajes seductores de «pierde peso sin pasar hambre», porque hambre vas a pasar. De hecho, una señal de que estás sano es que tengas hambre, porque cuando estás enfermo lo primero que pierdes es el hambre, así que deja de ver el hambre como algo malo y aprende a convivir con ella. Cambios en tu día a día para conseguir un déficit calórico Hay otros pequeños cambios que puedes hacer que a simple vista parece que no ayudan al déficit calórico pero sí que lo hacen, como es el moverte más en tu día a día. Cosas que no te suponen ningún esfuerzo como en lugar de subir en ascensor subir por las escaleras, o en lugar de ir en coche al trabajo ir andando o en lugar de aparcar el la puerta, aparcar más lejos. Ese tipo de cosas no te trastornan tu día a día pero contribuyen a ese déficit calórico. Pero de nuevo: No caigas en la trampa de subir por las escaleras en lugar de por el ascensor pensando que lo haces para gastar más calorías. Eso no es así. Si subes por las escaleras en lugar de por el ascensor es porque eres la clase de persona atlética y saludable que escoge las escaleras en lugar del ascensor. Y esto es importante porque es parte de tu identidad. Y puede que ahora mismo esa no sea tu identidad, por eso cada vez que tienes que escoger entre un ascensor y unas escaleras escoges el ascensor, pero cada vez que escojas subir por las escaleras estarás contribuyendo a convertirte en esa persona atlética y saludable. Y por eso lo haces. No lo haces para gastar más calorías. Es igual que el gimnasio, ese gasto es incidental y te va a ayudar a mantener el déficit calórico pero no debes hacerlo por eso. El sueño y el déficit calórico Si quieres mantener un déficit calórico necesitas cuidar tu descanso. Esto a priori parece que no tiene nada que ver porque dormir no afecta ni a lo que comes ni a lo que te mueves, pero en realidad si que lo hace porque el sueño es el periodo que tiene el cuerpo para repararse y si no lo cuidas y no duermes bien, el cuerpo andará falta de energía y eso significa que va a estar en modo ahorro gastando la menor cantidad de energía posible y además como estarás tan cansado no tendrás ganas de moverte ni de hacer nada. Eso sin contar que como estás tan falto de energía el cuerpo te va a mandar más señalizaciones de hambre y no hambre de cualquier cosa, porque no vas a querer comerte unos espárragos. El cuerpo te va a pedir chocolates, bollería, galletas y todo este tipo de cosas porque lo que el cuerpo busca es energía inmediata y sabe que estos alimentos le van a dar energía inmediata. Por lo que si no duermes bien: Vas a gastar menos calorías (con lo que si quieres crear un déficit calórico vas a tener que comer menos aún de lo que deberías comer), pero al mismo tiempo vas a luchar contra un hambre voraz que te va a inclinar hacia alimentos muy calóricos y poco saludables y además no vas a tener ganas de moverte ni de hacer nada. Y todo esto por no dormir bien. Así que si, el dormir si que está relacionado con el peso que pierdes o el peso que ganas, porque si lo gestionas bien puede ayudarte a crear un déficit calórico pero si lo gestionas mal puede ser una barrera insalvable para generar un déficit calórico. Y así es como se genera un déficit calórico. Entre no comer una caloría y quemar una caloría es mucho más fácil y efectivo no comer una caloría. Por lo que para crear un déficit calórico es indispensable capar de alguna forma las calorías que consumes. Esto lo puedes hacer de muchas formas y de hecho todas las dietas tienen una serie de reglas que sirven para capar esas calorías. Es decir, lo que funciona no es la dieta sino el déficit calórico. La dieta es solo una herramienta para llegar ahí. Pero personalmente en lugar de seguir una dieta para capar las calorías, yo prefiero hacerme un plan de alimentación siguiendo mis propias reglas en lugar de seguir las de nadie. Dentro de ese plan de alimentación sería interesante priorizar alimentos más proteicos y carbohidratos en lugar de grasa porque simplemente por comerlos una parte importante de sus calorías no te van a sumar. Y por supuesto priorizar alimentos poco densos en calorías, como los típicos vegetales que puedes comer mucha cantidad pero que su contenido calórico es muy pequeño y te sirven para reducir las señalizaciones de hambre. Pero que sepas que hambre vas a tener. Y vas a tener más hambre aún si no cuidas de tu descanso porque el cuerpo te hará mucho más difícil mantener el déficit calórico. Y así es como se crea un déficit calórico para perder peso. Cuida de tu cuerpo y tu cuerpo cuidará de ti Origen

What does a Formula One World Champion packing up a garage have in common with an Olympic swimmer crying into his goggles at the end of a training session? More than you might think.In this exclusive preview, Jake and Damian read two of their favourite chapters from the Micro Habits audiobook, distilling some of the most powerful lessons from six years and 400+ conversations with the world's highest performers.First, Lando Norris reveals the mindset shift that separates people who merely have a job from those who have found a calling, and the surprisingly simple reframe that can unlock it for anyone, whatever they do for a living.Then, Adam Peaty opens up about the breakdown that almost ended his Olympic dream, the ancient Greek myth that helped him find his way back, and the brutally honest advice Michael Phelps gave him in a 20-minute conversation that changed everything.These aren't dramatic, headline-grabbing moments. They're quiet, private, and almost invisible — and they're exactly the kind of micro habits that make everything else possible.Micro-Habits: Tiny Changes That Supercharge High Performance is available now.

Épisode n°504 - Le Coût Caché de "Faire ce qui doit être fait"Pendant des années, j'ai cru que la haute performance passait par une discipline de fer et une identité rigide. "Je suis le genre de personne qui fait ce qui doit être fait, peu importe comment je me sens."Michael Phelps a suivi ce système à la perfection : 5 ans sans rater un entraînement, un record de médailles d'or olympiques... et une dépression sévère avec pensées suicidaires après les Jeux.Le système qui l'a mené au sommet est le même qui l'a détruit.Dans cet épisode, je déconstruis l'idée que j'ai partagée pendant des années : Identité → Comportement → Émotion. Je vous explique pourquoi ce modèle, aussi séduisant soit-il, peut devenir une prison. Et surtout, je vous partage une autre façon de performer - depuis la joie plutôt que depuis la peur.On voit ensemble : - Pourquoi le modèle "Identité → Comportement → Émotion" a marché pour vous (et ce qu'il vous coûte aujourd'hui)- Le coût caché de la haute performance : excellence dans le faire, misère dans l'être- La vraie question : pourquoi ai-je besoin d'une identité rigide pour performer ?- Les deux façons de performer : depuis la peur (POUR prouver) vs depuis la joie (DEPUIS la sécurité)- Comment sentir le coût de votre système et faire des choix plus conscients00:00 - Introduction et contexte01:18 - La thèse de Identité-Comportement-Emotion05:38 - Nuance - L'énorme coût caché10:14 - Le vrai problème, l'autre question14:24 - La nuance n'est pas un compromis19:55 - Une invitation à la réflexion Hébergé par Acast.

Business Coaching Secrets Episode 330 Recap In this episode, Karl Bryan and Road Dog dive deep into the hidden levers behind luxury branding for coaches, the power of the "illusion of scarcity," and the real-world tactics for building an elite personal brand and momentum. They unpack why so many coaches lose the "battle within," what actually works to attract high-end clients, why quality sleep is a business advantage, and concrete ways to overcome the self-promotion struggle. Authentic, actionable, and packed with direct advice, this episode is your roadmap for moving from stuck to standout in your coaching business. Key Topics Covered Luxury Branding and the Illusion of Scarcity Karl Bryan reveals why luxury brands like Rolex, Ferrari, and Louis Vuitton succeed—it's less about their logo and more about perceived scarcity and margins. Tangible tactics for coaches to position themselves as high-value, "hard-to-get" authorities, using the example of a busy calendar and limited client spots. Overcoming the Battle Within Karl Bryan shares mindset frameworks for winning the internal struggle (imposter syndrome, lack of focus) that derails coaches. Why changing your identity—not just your thoughts—is the foundation for lasting transformation. The Science of High Performance: Sleep, Energy & Routine Game-changing advice on tracking sleep and its direct impact on business results. How routines, environment, and sleep discipline make elite performance possible for coaches and clients alike. Building a Magnetic Personal Brand Why so many coaches struggle with self-promotion and the bio trap—and the surprising truth about what really builds trust and reputation online. Step-by-step guidance on creating daily content, showing value, and leveraging both AI and authenticity. Momentum, Discipline, and Consistency How to set activity-based targets (like 25 daily reach-outs) and detach from outcomes to build real momentum. The compounding power of relentless daily action and how skipping days destroys progress—using analogies from Michael Phelps, Tom Brady, and more. Notable Quotes "If you don't believe in your coaching, you won't transfer belief. You can't transfer what you don't already own." – Karl Bryan "You don't want your marketing to be Toyota in a Ferrari world. Illusion of scarcity is a superpower." – Karl Bryan "You can do anything, but you can't do everything. Define what you want—clarity is the cure for being stuck." – Karl Bryan "Sleep is probably the greatest investment you can make—in your life, in your business, everywhere." – Karl Bryan "Trust is built in moments, not your bio. The lurkers are the ones who buy." – Karl Bryan "The only thing harder than building a brand is trying to keep this podcast under 90 minutes." – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Create Scarcity in Your Practice: Limit the number of client spots, show a full calendar, and don't always be available. Position yourself as in demand—even before you're full. Be Activity-Driven: Set daily reach-out targets (like 25 per day). Track activities, not just results, and detach from what you can't control. Invest in Sleep: Build a consistent, high-quality sleep routine. Track your sleep depth and protect your energy as fiercely as your calendar. Build Authority Through Value Moments: Focus social content on authentic "aha" moments, stories, and real solutions instead of just credentials. Leverage AI Wisely: Use tools like ChatGPT to spark and structure social content, but always infuse your unique personality and experiences. Momentum Is Everything: Don't skip days. Small actions, consistently applied, create compounding results. Discipline is the difference-maker. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value openly in your market—through events, free calls, and actionable insights—before expecting a sale. Personal Brand Focus: Don't obsess over your bio or likes; serve, post, and show your expertise. The buyers ("lurkers") are watching. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ (developed by Karl Bryan) – Demonstrates instant value and ROI to prospects. Focus.com – Coaching resources, daily emails, and events. Sleeping Tools: Oura Ring (for tracking sleep and activity). AI Content Creation: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude—leverage AI for personalized, scalable content.

Then boy oh boy do we have the hour for you. We kick it off with a Cal Ripken interview in which he tells us where he does (or does not) stand on Hillary vs Obama in 2008, then play a game of True or False with Bomani Jones. That's just the warm-up because after that, we have three of the most epic hang-ups in show history from interviews gone horribly wrong. First up is Joan Rivers, followed by Michael Phelps, and capped off with Nick Lachey.

Welcome to episode 199 and a big announcement! After nearly four years of never missing a Monday since launching in April 2022, we're taking a brief hiatus. But before we go, we're pulling back the curtain on everything: why we failed our big 2025 goal to double our podcast downloads, what we're learning about the difference between goal setting and feeling setting, and how the Odyssey Plan from Stanford's Design Lab is reshaping the next chapter of She Sells He Sells (and our lives). If you've ever wondered whether it's time to stay the course, take a calculated risk, or blow it all up and start fresh—this episode is your roadmap. Plus, Brian announces a major career change after 20 years in health tech, and we get real about midlife pivots, entrepreneurship journey, and what it means to experience failure without being a failure. Listen in to hear: Why Brian's back after his "forced vacation" from the Acorn HR team The profound message guiding our 2026 pivot: "All of us contain more liveliness than one lifetime permits" Why we failed our goal to double podcast downloads in 2025 and what we learned The Michael Phelps principle: Why people who achieve great things aren't necessarily better than you Our big announcement: Taking our first Monday break since launching and what's changing The Odyssey Plan from Stanford Design Lab explained: 3 scenarios for designing your next 5 years Scenario 1 (Status Quo), Scenario 2 (Calculated Risk), and Scenario 3 (Magic Wand)—and how to know which is right for you Brian's major career announcement leaving health tech after 20 years Why this is called "Odyssey Planning" not "Finish Line Planning" The danger of hyper-focused goal setting and why it makes you miss incredible opportunities Dave Evans' simple formula: Get curious. Talk to people. Try stuff. Tell your story. PRO TIP after listening: Try the Odyssey Plan exercise this week. Map out your three scenarios for the next 5 years, rate them on excitement level (feelings, not logistics!), and identify one small step toward the scenario that feels most alive. We're coming back in Q1 2026 with Episode 200, a fresh format, and bigger ideas. Want to help shape what's next? DM us @shesellshesellspodcast and tell us what you want more (or less) of!

Ayelet Fishbach, motivation researcher at University of Chicago, dismantles the fantasy-driven approach to New Year's resolutions and goal-setting. Drawing from data spanning multiple years, she reveals that while temporal landmarks like New Year work for initiating goals, only 20% of people still pursue them by November—the difference comes down to whether you're fantasizing or planning. Fishbach explains how fantasies (envisioning yourself already achieving the goal) actually decrease motivation to send job applications or take action, whereas concrete plans ("I will call my connections, work on my resume, here are the steps") drive execution. She introduces the critical balance between "why" questions (abstract purpose that prevents you from giving up) and "how" questions (concrete steps that enable execution), warning that goals become too abstract when they reach "I want to be happy" and too concrete when you lose sight of why you're doing them. The conversation explores Michael Phelps' visualization strategy (preparing for goggles filling with water, not just winning gold) and why optimism without planning is just delusional fantasy masquerading as motivation.
