In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson examines one of philosophy's most provocative questions: Was Seneca a hypocrite? Through the lens of Stoic philosophy and Roman history, Marcus explores the dangerous cognitive trap of hypocrisy bias and challenges listeners to examine their own inconsistencies before judging others. Episode Highlights [0:45] The Seneca Question: Was the wealthy Roman philosopher who forced loans on conquered peoples truly living by Stoic principles, or was he a hypocrite? [2:10] Understanding Hypocrisy Bias: How our tendency to judge others' inconsistencies more harshly than our own blinds us to truth and derails meaningful discussions. [6:16] The Marcus Aurelius Paradox: Even the revered philosopher-emperor struggled with anger daily and made questionable decisions like allowing his son Commodus to take power. [7:38] 30-Day Reflection Challenge: Three critical questions to examine your own hypocrisy, how you judge others, and whether imperfect messengers can still deliver truth.

Heal Yourself, Rewrite Your Family's FutureWhat if the fastest way to calm your child's anxiety is to regulate your own? We sit down with Robyn Graham—a mother, former pharmacist, and top 1% podcaster—who now serves families as a faith-based anxiety coach blending neuroscience, psychology, and Scripture. Her story threads through corporate life, a bold pivot into photography, and a clear call to help parents heal so their kids can thrive.We dig into why today's teens ride a constant dopamine roller coaster and how social media's blue light, metrics, and comparison loops fray attention and mood. Robyn lays out a simple but powerful plan to stabilize the nervous system at home: pause before reacting, step outside for five minutes of light, move your body daily, and make family meals a non-negotiable. She also draws a firm line on safety: if a child voices suicidal thoughts, therapy comes first, and medication can be a life-saving bridge. Faith and clinical care are not rivals—prayer can anchor the process while evidence-based treatment does its work.Food and light become unlikely heroes in this conversation. We explore the gut-brain axis, the impact of ultra-processed foods and dyes on mood, and how quality protein and whole foods support calmer days. Then we talk circadian cues: morning sunlight to kickstart energy, evening light to cue melatonin, and practical winter routines when the sky turns gray. We close with the courage to pivot—how Robyn evolved her career without losing her core, and why organization, clear messaging, and SEO updates matter when purpose shifts.If you're a parent who wants fewer meltdowns, better sleep, and a stronger bond with your kids, this episode offers clear tools and grounded hope.

Mindset is not about positive thinking — it is about courageous reflection, honest reframing, and intentional reinvention. Simon Calderbank is the founder of Big Knows and a leadership mindset coach dedicated to helping women reflect, reframe, and reinvent their mindset for lasting personal and professional growth. Raised in a strong matriarchal household by his mum, auntie, and sister, Simon developed deep empathy and a coaching style that is both compassionate and challenging. Following a personal health scare in 2015, he shifted from business development into mindset and leadership coaching, supporting hundreds of women leaders and earning recognition on the Northern Women's Power Inaugural Advocacy List for advancing gender equality. In this episode, Simon shares his Re3 framework — Reflection, Reframe, and Reinvention — and explains why real transformation requires being comfortable with discomfort, questioning inner narratives, and taking intentional action. What you will learn from this episode: How to reinvent your mindset without abandoning who you are or conforming to leadership models that were never built for you. Why career breaks, motherhood, and life transitions do not erode capability — and how internal narratives, not skill loss, hold women back. How affirmations and self-talk directly shape confidence, decision-making, and performance — and how to use them intentionally instead of unconsciously. Topics Covered: 00:10 - Growth requires being comfortable with discomfort. 06:22 - Reflection as the starting point for mindset change. 08:57 - Reframing past experiences to unlock new perspectives. 12:18 - How self-doubt and imposter syndrome take hold — and how to release them. 15:49 - Navigating gender dynamics in male-dominated workplaces. 21:38 - Asking the hard question: "Why am I not heard?" 24:35 - Using mantras and affirmations to reshape inner dialogue. 27:30 - A hybrid coaching perspective shaped by male and female lenses. Key Takeaways: "You've got to be comfortable being uncomfortable if you want to become unstuck." — Simon Calderbank "Reframing doesn't change the past — it changes how you see it." — Simon Calderbank "Women often block their own capability after life changes, even when nothing was lost." — Simon Calderbank Ways to Connect with Simon Calderbank: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simoncalderbank/ Upcoming 5-Day Challenge: Women Who Lead: Barriers to Breakthroughs https://mindset.big-knows.co.uk/challenge-registration-page Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

For years, people have looked at my body of work and seen a lot of different podcasts, newsletters, live streams, and conversations. What they could not see was the pattern underneath it all. Today, I have clarity around and language for the system I accidentally built over the last two decades. This clarity changes how I see everything I create. In this episode, I walk through the three podcasts that are my primary focus and explain how each one plays a specific role in moving someone from discovering me for the first time, to trusting me, and then to making the decision to work with me. My Three Podcasts Podcast Answer Man The Cliff Ravenscraft Show What Are You Creating? Podcast Answer Man - The Front Door Podcast Answer Man is my top of funnel. It is where people find me because they already have a problem they want solved. They are searching: How do I start a podcast? How do I grow a podcast? How do I fix this audio issue? How do I come up with new ideas for content? How can I streamline my content creation process? That kind of search comes from someone who is already motivated to take action. Podcast Answer Man is show that is there to answer these questions and to introduce them to my world. Podcast Answer Man will feed directly into the following: My Podcasting A to Z Group Coaching Program My Paid Podcast Consulting My Digital Tutorials Affiliate Income from trusted Tool and Resource recommendations. Podcasting is a high intent market. Someone searching for answers related to podcasting is already holding a credit card emotionally, even if they have not pulled it out yet. Once they introduced to the answers I provide to their podcast related questions, they will quickly discover that I offer far more value to their entrepreneurial journey beyond just the tech. The Cliff Ravenscraft Show Builds - The Trust Builder This show isn't designed to attract cold listeners. Only one type of person searches for a show titled "The Cliff Ravenscraft Show" in a podcast directory, someone who already knows a guy named Cliff Ravenscraft exists. This podcast is my relationship engine. People who already know me through Podcast Answer Man, referrals, or social media come here to understand how I think, how I decide, and how I live inside my business. TCRS positions me as a professional business owner who specializes in business strategy and mindset, not just a technician. The Cliff Ravenscraft Show will feed directly into the following: My Business Strategy & Mindset Coaching. My Next Level Mastermind. My In Person Workshops & Events. My other Premium Offerings What Are You Creating? - My Networking Channel What Are You Creating? is my interview format podcast. Each episode features a conversation with entrepreneurs, creators, and visionaries building work aligned with their deepest passions. These stories are filled with sparks. Sparks that can ignite new possibilities for your own life and business. You may discover income streams you've never considered, ways to align your passions with your work, or fresh inspiration to start creating something of your own. Here are the main benefits of having your own interview format podcast. It creates a natural reason to reach out to people who would otherwise be difficult to connect with. A podcast invitation feels generous. It gives you instant access to people who already have earned trust and credibility with your ideal audience. It allows you to borrow relevance without pretending to be someone you are not. You show up as the curious, thoughtful host who creates space for meaningful conversation. It positions you as a peer in the room with leaders in your niche. It builds a relationship before it ever needs to become anything else. Trust grows through conversation long before there is any talk of collaboration or opportunity. It turns networking into something that feels human. Instead of collecting business cards, you are having real conversations. It opens doors to speaking, partnerships, referrals, and friendships that almost never come from cold outreach. It lets your voice and perspective be experienced in context, alongside respected people, which quietly builds confidence in you. It creates momentum. Each guest often leads to the next, expanding your network and your reach in a way that compounds over time. A major feature of this podcast is to grow my peer group, my referral network, and my reputation as someone who has meaningful conversations with interesting people doing important work. With this show, I don't focus on download counts, subscriber growth, or metrics. The primary outcome I'm looking for is the relationship I build with each guest. This allows me to show up fully present and curious, without an agenda. People can feel that. How It All Works Together Most people try to teach, tell their story, and interview guests all in one feed. I don't judge that approach, but I've found it confuses the audience and muddles the show's purpose. I separated them. Each show has one job. Podcast Answer Man answers the questions my ideal clients are actively searching for. The Cliff Ravenscraft Show helps people who have discovered me understand the depth of what I offer beyond the answers to their tech questions. What Are You Creating? helps me expand my peer group. This matches exactly how my highest-paid clients find me. Most discover me through podcasting help. They stay because they connect with how I think about business and mindset. They deepen their relationship with me through the conversations I have with my peers and the relationships I build. I accidentally built this over twenty years. Now I finally have language for it.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Denny Giamazzo, leadership and resilience speaker, veteran, and author of the new bestselling book "Wired for Action." Denny shares his powerful journey from childhood trauma and foster care to becoming an infantry sergeant and successful software sales professional. This raw conversation explores authentic leadership principles forged in combat and tested in the corporate world, emphasizing the importance of taking action, building the right network, and leading with both strength and empathy. Episode Highlights: 1:08] - Overcoming Adversity Without Special Operations Background Denny discusses why he almost didn't write his book, feeling his story wasn't "special" enough without a Green Beret or SEAL background. His mentor John Doolittle convinced him that his relatability—surviving childhood abuse, foster care, and combat—makes his message even more powerful for everyday people facing their own battles. [10:05] - The Leadership Lesson That Changed Everything Fresh into a leadership role before deploying to Afghanistan, Denny shares his critical mistake of leading without empathy. He reveals the turning point when he learned that demanding respect doesn't work—you have to earn it by showing your team you genuinely care about them while maintaining high standards. [34:22] - Nearly Dying Before Deployment Denny recounts the harrowing story of almost dying twice during surgery from an infected wisdom tooth extraction at the end of basic training. This medical emergency kept him from deploying to Iraq but gave him time to earn his sergeant stripes ahead of peers who did deploy. [50:03] - The Power of Strategic Networking Denny explains why he turned down multiple introductions to Nick Lavery before finally meeting him in person at a speaking event. He emphasizes that networking isn't about kicking down doors or DMing everyone—it's about being strategic, adding value, and doing it the right way. Denny Giamazzo is a leadership, resilience, and business engagement speaker, bestselling author, and U.S. Army veteran (11 Bravo Infantry). Born two months premature and raised in foster care after experiencing childhood abuse and losing his mother to AIDS, Denny defied statistical odds to serve his country and build a successful career in software sales at companies like Oracle and Workday. He co-hosts the "Be the Standard" podcast and is a key member of Nick Lavery's Forge community. His new book "Wired for Action" is currently #1 in the military category on Amazon.

In dieser Folge des Limitbrecher Podcasts teile ich einige harte Wahrheiten über das vergangene Jahr, die dich vielleicht berühren und zum Nachdenken bringen. Ich lade dich ein, ehrlich zu dir selbst zu sein und zu reflektieren, wo du in deinem Leben vielleicht abgewartet, gehofft oder dich abgelenkt hast, anstatt aktiv zu gestalten. Oft lassen wir uns von äußeren Umständen treiben, statt unsere eigene Gestalterkraft zu erkennen und bewusst zu nutzen. Das ist eine unbequeme Wahrheit, die viele von uns betrifft – und ich selbst habe sie auch erlebt. Ich spreche darüber, wie sehr wir uns täglich ablenken lassen, sei es durch Social Media, Beruf oder andere äußere Einflüsse, um inneren Schmerz zu betäuben. Doch nur wenn wir lernen, bei uns selbst anzukommen, uns zu spüren und den eigenen Gefühlen ehrlich zu begegnen, können wir echte Veränderung schaffen. Wir müssen uns wieder bewusst Zeit nehmen, präsent zu sein, in Begegnungen aufmerksam zuzuhören und die wirklich wichtigen Dinge in unserem Leben nicht von Dringlichkeiten überlagern zu lassen. Mindsetcoaching spielt hierbei eine zentrale Rolle, weil wir durch bewusste Reflexion, Selbstverantwortung und Selbstfürsorge unsere innere Lebensqualität nachhaltig steigern können. Ich thematisiere auch, wie oft wir funktionieren, eine Maske tragen und uns an äußeren Statussymbolen orientieren, anstatt authentisch und echt zu leben. Die Wahrheit ist, dass Besitz, Status oder Position uns langfristig nicht glücklich machen – es kommt darauf an, wer wir ohne all das sind. In dieser Podcast-Folge geht es darum, diese unbequemen Wahrheiten zu erkennen, anzunehmen und Schritt für Schritt zu verändern. Wenn du bereit bist, deine Limits bewusst zu brechen, deine Präsenz zu erhöhen und ehrlich zu dir selbst zu sein, dann ist diese Folge genau für dich. Lass uns gemeinsam reflektieren, was wirklich zählt und welche Entscheidungen dein Leben nachhaltig beeinflussen können.

Work-life balance is a myth. Burnout is everywhere. And most leaders are lying to themselves about what it takes to win.In today's Spartan Leadership episode, Josh Kosnick sits down with JM Ryerson — Leadership & Performance Coach, bestselling author, and founder of Let's Go Win — for a candid conversation on authenticity, mindset, culture, and the realities of high-performance living.With over 20 years building elite sales teams and coaching top CEOs, JM breaks down:
In dieser Folge des Limitbrecher Podcasts teile ich mit dir, warum Unklarheit so oft dazu führt, dass wir innerlich ausgebremst werden und wertvolle Energie verlieren. In den letzten Wochen habe ich in meinen Seminaren wieder sehr deutlich erlebt, wie viele Menschen erst durch bewusstes Hinschauen erkennen, welche Energiekiller sie im Alltag wirklich schwächen. Genau darum geht es in dieser Ausgabe: um Klarheit, Selbstreflexion und bewusstes inneres Aufräumen. Ich nehme dich mit hinein in Gedanken, Beispiele und Fragen, die dir helfen können, deinen eigenen Nebel zu lichten. Denn erst wenn ich mir darüber bewusst werde, wie ich Situationen bewerte, was mir wichtig ist und wie ich meinen Weg gestalten will, beginne ich wieder echte Energie aufzubauen. Diese persönliche Ausrichtung ist für mich ein zentraler Bestandteil meines Mindsetcoachings. Und gerade im Mindsetcoaching erlebe ich immer wieder, wie kraftvoll es ist, Klarheit in den Bereichen Gesundheit, Beziehung, Finanzen, Beruf und persönliche Entwicklung zu schaffen. Ich lade dich ein, dir selbst ehrliche Fragen zu stellen: Was bedeutet Gesundheit für mich? Welche Beziehungen möchte ich leben? Warum gehe ich beruflich genau diesen Weg? Welche Erfahrungen möchte ich in meinem Leben noch machen? Wenn ich mir diese Antworten schenke, beginne ich automatisch, meine persönliche Energie zu stärken und mein Potenzial besser zu nutzen. Diese Podcast-Folge soll dir Inspiration geben, dich motivieren und dich dabei unterstützen, Schritt für Schritt bewusster, klarer und kraftvoller zu leben. Klarheit ist kein Ziel, sondern ein Prozess – aber ein Prozess, der dein inneres Leuchten wieder deutlich sichtbarer macht.
In this episode, Coach K dives deep into the psychology behind why some habits “stick” and others fizzle out. She explains that lasting change rarely comes from raw motivation alone — instead, it's built through small, manageable routines that accumulate over time into real behavioral transformation.Coach K shares personal stories of overcoming insecurity and stress, framing how mindset shifts and self-awareness laid the groundwork for her success. She emphasizes that creating habits isn't just about productivity: it's about self-regulation, managing mental energy, and reducing anxiety. By consistently showing up — even when motivation is low — small wins build up willpower and momentum.The discussion also covers the importance of viewing time and energy differently: instead of seeing free time as wasted or unstructured, Coach K helps redefine breaks and downtime as restorative and necessary components of a sustainable workflow. She encourages listeners to think long-term: habits, not “go big or go home” bursts, are the backbone of lasting change.Finally, Coach K presents her philosophy as a kind of “psychology meets habit engineering” approach. It's not just about doing more — it's about designing an environment, a schedule, and a mindset that support steady progress. For anyone feeling stuck in chaos or burnout, the lesson is simple but powerful: start small, build consistency, and let habits quietly reshape your life over time.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

How does Ben Crowe get elite athletes to the top of their game? What he asks footballers, surfers and tennis players to do seems counter intuitive, and a lot of the work happens off the field. (R)Ben Crowe is a mindset coach who has worked with elite athletes like surfer Steph Gilmore, tennis superstar Ash Barty, and the Richmond Football Club.But Ben's method of coaching seems counter-intuitive.Rather than telling these athletes they're the best, he encourages them to own their flaws, make sense of their life stories off the field, prioritising vulnerability and human connection, so they can take both wins and losses in their stride.

I believe the difference between living within limits and unlocking your true potential comes down to one thing: mindset. In this video, I explore the intersection of probability and possibility, showing how your perspective can shift what feels impossible into achievable results. You'll discover practical strategies to overcome fear, build confidence, and create positive habits that support personal growth and success.From real-life stories of resilience to proven mindset coaching strategies, I'll share how you can reprogram limiting beliefs and start living with purpose and intention. Too often, we live inside probabilities, statistics that keep us safe, but the real breakthroughs come when we embrace possibilities. If you're ready for personal transformation, confidence building, and a mindset reset, this episode will help you step into your full potential.Whether you're focused on career growth, self-discipline, or simply becoming your best self, these lessons will help you unlock the resilience and clarity needed to succeed. Remember, probabilities may keep you comfortable, but possibilities are where growth and fulfillment live. Watch until the end for mindset strategies you can apply today to elevate your personal and professional life.Key Takeaways ✅ Possibility begins where probability ends ✅ Most people stay stuck in limits that don't exist ✅ A bold mindset opens doors to healing, growth, and success ✅ Personal stories can ignite massive inner change ✅ Resilience is a choice, not a trait ✅ Growth means rejecting the status quo ✅ Believing in yourself is the foundation of possibility ✅ Your life can exceed logic when you shift your mindset
Send us a textEver notice how the same habits that stabilize recovery also stabilize your pipeline? We dig into the leadership mindset that sits beneath selling, sobriety, and self-mastery, and why the strongest credibility comes from consistency, not a job title. From the first minute, we challenge the blame game and replace it with ownership—controlling the process in sales and our actions in life—so results stop being random and start being repeatable.We unpack emotional sobriety as a competitive edge: the ability to stay calm when deals wobble, to pause instead of panic, and to meet objections with curiosity. That shift turns pressure into empathy and fear into trust. Along the way, we show how feedback and humility create an ongoing growth loop. Coachability beats charisma, and pride isolates; the people who keep winning ask what could I have done better even when they win, then translate that insight into the next call, the next meeting, the next day sober.You'll hear practical standards you can apply right now: prepare before you perform, track your reps, and model the behavior you want from your team. We talk about moving from achievement to contribution—service in recovery and value in sales—and how alignment with your values attracts the right clients, mentors, and opportunities. Titles don't lead; predictable integrity does. When you lead yourself first, you build a life and a business that others can trust.If this resonated, share it with someone who needs a reset.
