In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the realities behind the trending 50-year mortgage, strategies for raising client prices, and the powerful concept of creating lasting value rather than selling on features alone. They discuss generational financial policy, entrepreneurship advice for young business owners, and how the mindset around risk, investing, and habits shapes long-term success for coaches and their clients. Key Topics Covered The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages Karl Bryan breaks down why 50-year mortgages may be psychologically appealing but are often a disaster for long-term wealth. He reveals how fiscal policies typically benefit older asset holders, not young families, and explains actionable strategies for managing mortgage debt wisely (hint: double principal payments to cut interest costs). Debt, Fiscal Policy, and Asset Ownership A candid discussion about government incentives, student loans, movement, and the marketing of debt programs. The hosts explain how national debts, stock market, and real estate policy affect everyday entrepreneurs. Dave Ramsey's Approach vs. Entrepreneurial Investing Karl Bryan shares why Dave Ramsey's advice, though solid for most, isn't tailored to business owners and can actually hinder entrepreneurial growth. Coaches need to help clients recognize where profit really comes from—often through strategic hiring rather than traditional assets. Advice for Young Entrepreneurs For a 21-year-old approaching seven figures in business, Karl shares direct "notes to his younger self": Prioritize learning and history over hype Avoid gambling culture Understand the dangers of chasing status Find mentors closest to your goals Success follows through other people—cultivate loyalty Real success takes five years—play the long game How to Raise Client Prices and Increase Profitability Karl reveals a "scaling" pricing model to onboard high-ticket clients incrementally and why innovation and value creation are the keys to charging more. He provides a three-prong value breakdown—practical, inherent, and social—and explains how to move clients from being compared "apples to apples" to "apples to oranges" in their market. Group Coaching and Retention Leverage Retaining clients and boosting perceived value through live events and group coaching is explored. Karl draws direct connections between authority, events, and pricing power. Moment of Zen Inspiration from sports, family holidays, and leadership culture. Karl shares the magic of "Mickey Points" for family bonding and how elite athletes prime themselves for risk and resilience. The lesson: unlearning old habits is often the hardest—and most valuable—growth. Notable Quotes "Owning a home is as much psychological as it is an investment—it's security for your family." — Karl Bryan "Motivation is great, but a successful life is about avoiding stupid—capitalize, underline, and italicize 'stupid'!" — Karl Bryan "Raising prices is more complicated than just slapping on 10%—innovation and adding value are the keys to creating profitable clients." — Karl Bryan "Don't ask people close to you, ask people closest to your goal. If you want a great marriage, talk to someone with a 50-year marriage." — Karl Bryan "The higher-level question is: How can we increase profits 100% and keep clients happy?" — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Be Critical of Debt Offers: Young families should double down on principal payments if stuck with a longer-term mortgage and avoid upgrading lifestyle unnecessarily. Invest in People Before Assets: Entrepreneurs get the highest ROI by investing in team and systems before stocks or real estate. Leverage Group and Live Events: Group coaching and live events increase perceived value, retention, and pricing power. Innovate to Escape Commodity Pricing: Break out from "apples to apples" pricing by amplifying practical, inherent, and social value—be different, not cheaper. Avoid Your Worst Activity: Personal and client progress accelerates by cutting the most counterproductive habits first, not just starting new ones. Play the Long Game: Real business and personal success takes at least five years—commit, persist, and learn continuously.

Jon Buscemi joins the podcast to discuss his journey from trend forecasting at DC Shoes to founding his iconic luxury sneaker brand. He shares the inside story of selling his brand to private equity and how their strategy to create an attainable luxury diffusion line was the "kiss of death", violating the rules of luxury pricing. Buscemi argues that fashion's monoculture is dead, replaced by micro-communities, and that social media has killed the discovery aspect of fashion. He details how his new members-only golf brand Redan, is built on scarcity and community, predicting that this "members-only" model is the future trend for fashion.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:03:31 - The $1000 Sneaker00:18:00 - From DC Shoes to Tribal Fashion Trends00:33:17 - Selling to Private Equity00:45:14 - Networking, Signaling, & The "Members-Only" Brand00:59:11 - Can a Monoculture Brand Still Be Built Today?Powered By:Fulfil.io.https://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.

In this conversation, you'll discover:Why your achievement addiction is actually a fear response in disguiseHow play unlocks the creative parts of yourself productivity destroysThe real reason you can't rest (and how to finally stop running) When was the last time you did something just because it was fun?Not because it would advance your career. Not because it would make you a better parent or partner. Not because it would optimize your health or expand your network. Just because it brought you joy.If you're sitting there drawing a blank, you're not alone. Most of us have turned our entire lives into one giant to-do list. We've optimized the fun right out of existence.I realized this recently when I noticed that every single thing on my calendar served a purpose. Work meetings. Kid activities. Workouts. Networking events. Even my "fun" plans were really just relationship maintenance or personal development in disguise. There was literally nothing on there that was pure play. Nothing that existed just because it lit me up inside.We've been sold this idea that adulthood means being serious. Responsible. Productive. But somewhere along the way, we confused being an adult with being joyless. In Vedic philosophy, there's this concept of lila. Divine play. The idea that creation itself is an act of joyful expression, not serious business. That the universe is literally playing itself into existence. And yet here we are, treating our one precious life like a performance review.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/427Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Carlii Lyon has spent more than two decades helping extraordinary people shape their stories, from supermodels and global entrepreneurs to bestselling authors and spiritual leaders. As a publicist, she built reputations that captured the world’s attention, but over time her work shifted from curating others’ narratives to reclaiming her own.

Through honest storytelling, Carlii invites readers to embrace visibility, imperfection and the liberation that comes with speaking our truth. This conversation is both professional and deeply personal. Carlii and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, through motherhood, reinvention and the ever-evolving landscape of womanhood. She introduced me to Dr John Demartini and Miranda Kerr when her career as a powerhouse publicist was in full swing.
