Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

On this week's episode of Love University, we're joined by Anne Abel, acclaimed memoirist, storyteller, and TikTok inspiration, whose book High Hopes (https://tinyurl.com/3bhmfb9t) recounts one woman's unexpected reinvention. After decades of treatment-resistant depression—including psychiatric hospitalization and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)—Anne made a single, life-changing decision: she said “yes” to a solo 26-day trip to Australia to follow Bruce Springsteen on tour. That journey, at age 60, became far more than an adventure. It was the beginning of a full emotional reawakening. Here are three powerful insights from her story: The Cure to Sadness May Be as Simple as One “Yes” For much of her adult life, Anne lived behind a wall of emotional numbness. Highly educated, married, and outwardly functional, she moved through the world with deep internal pain. Therapies had come and gone. ECT helped, briefly. But nothing truly shifted—until she gave herself permission to act on something instinctual. That “yes” to a Springsteen concert tour—unreasonable, unplanned—became a way back to her authentic, powerful self. Healing Begins When You Stop Waiting to Feel Ready Anne didn't fly to Australia because she felt courageous. She did it because she knew she couldn't stay in the life she was living. Surrounded by strangers in packed Springsteen arenas, she found something she hadn't felt in years: vitality, meaning, and self-validation. The music, the lyrics, the crowd energy—they stirred emotions that had long been locked away. Bruce didn't just perform—he mirrored her back to herself. She began to feel, to connect, to hope. That alone was its own kind of healing. You Are Not Defined by Your Past—Unless You Keep Replaying It High Hopes is more than a travel memoir. It's a guide to emotional renewal, bold reinvention, and reclaiming your voice after years of silence. Anne shows that transformation doesn't require perfection—it needs permission. Through movement, music, and saying “yes” before she felt “ready,” she rewrote her narrative. Depression may have shaped her past, but it no longer had the final word. Her life began again when she stopped waiting for conditions to be perfect—and chose to live anyway. You can follow Anne's example by listening to your intuition and saying “Yes” to the calling of your soul.
“Aging with purpose means choosing gratitude, even when life is hard.” In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Robin Kencel, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, elite ballroom dancer, luxury real estate broker, and reigning Miss Connecticut Senior America. Ranked in the top 1.5% of real estate agents in the U.S., Robin shares her remarkable journey of reinvention, faith, and fearless growth—proving that midlife is not a season of slowing down, but a time of expansion and renewed purposeRobin reflects on growing up in a family-run nursing home and how early exposure to aging, service, and compassion shaped her philosophy of life. From earning degrees at Georgetown University and Kellogg School of Management to leading Fortune 100 teams, launching her own consulting firm, and ultimately pivoting into real estate, Robin emphasizes the courage it takes to evolve—and the importance of not fearing failure. She explains how being “gutsy,” planning wisely, and staying anchored in faith have guided every season of her lifeThe conversation dives deep into Robin's “Aging With Purpose” platform, including her five pillars of aging well: physical health, emotional and mental well-being, relationships, spirituality and meaning, and the often-overlooked power of quality sleep. Robin also shares how a broken foot just weeks before a major pageant became the catalyst for discovering improvisational acting — reinforcing her belief that growth begins when we step outside our comfort zones.Let's explore self-worth, resilience, feedback, and why women are never “too old” to learn new skills, pursue dreams, or redefine what's possible in midlife and beyond.Timestamps:0:00 - Guest Intro2:02 - The BraveHeart Story of Robin Kencel on being an extraordinary woman5:09 - The importance of being courageous6:37 - Why dancing is Robin's #1 life calling to joining pageant at 6012:22- Aging with purpose16:16 - How to not quit18:51 - What is self-worth?22:10 - The 5 pillars of aging well30:33 - Robin's #1 tip for midlife womenQuotations:“You can start something you're not good at — and get better.” – Robin Kencel“The only thing stopping you is yourself.” – Robin Kencel“Confidence comes from knowing your worth isn't tied to performance.” – Robin Kencel“Midlife isn't the end—it's an invitation to expand.” – Dawn Damon“Growth requires being willing to be uncomfortable.” – Robin Kencel“You don't stop because you're aging—you age because you stop.” – Robin Kencel“Faith gives me confidence because my worth is already settled.” – Robin KencelResources:

Beneath the imposing surface of his tattoo-covered frame and “Monster” alter-ego, seemingly forged through chaos and back-alley brawls, Ulysses Diaz is a man who has been shaped by failures and redemptions much more than rage. If you judged Diaz solely by his intimidating appearance and troubled past, you'd miss the journey of a survivalist who wrote his own blueprint for discipline and an unforeseen ascent in combat sports. Diaz laced up the gloves—not with dreams of belts or boxing fame, but simply as a way to stay in shape and clear his head. Needless to say, what started as a workout quickly became the best decision of his life. With coaches who didn't just train him but always checked in, held him accountable, and understood the roads he had traveled, the gym became his anchor. Uplifted by his support system and a renewed purpose, Diaz got back in the ring, after once dabbling as an amateur earlier in life, and managed to revolutionize his life through fighting.Since the moment he embarked on a professional combat sports journey in 2017, Diaz knew he'd found his second chance. Not a way out, nor some golden ticket to stardom. Instead, it was the way forward. Diaz aggressively chased any and all opportunities across boxing and MMA, also later jumping at the opportunity to take the gloves back off and make a name for himself through the growing interest of bare-knuckle promotions like BKFC and BKB. Even recently, Diaz stepped into a custom-rules bout with “Platinum” Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing, always looking for the next challenge and never one to shy away from some of the most brutal stipulations left in the sanctioned world of combat.Ulysses is also an actor who has played key roles in hit movies like Den Of Thieves, The Weapon, and Never Too Late. He is very close friends with the Super Star Artist 'Pitbull' aka Mr World Wide and was blessed to travel the world and visit many countries, while working as his personal security. But nothing has meant more to Uly than his youngest son, Junior. Even though Uly has faced some of the toughest challenges any man can experience, his most difficult battle was finding out his son was diagnosed with cancer via a bone disease. This podcast was filled with amazing stories of overcoming hardships, comical tales of travel adventures, tear jerking admissions of a fathers deepest fears, and so much more.

As tensions rise with Venezuela, President Trump said land operations could start "pretty soon." Sources tell CBS News the administration is also planning more tanker seizures. Disney announced Thursday that it would invest $1 billion in OpenAI and license more than 200 of its animated and illustrated characters to use in Sora's user-generated content. Jo Ling Kent has more. In a CBS News town hall, Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, talks about political violence in the U.S. and calls on parents to step up to their responsibilities, saying, "Do you want your kid to be a thought leader or an assassin? That's where we're at." The town hall, which airs Saturday, was moderated by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. She discusses her candid conversation with Kirk on "CBS Mornings." In the "CBS Mornings" series "Never Too Late," CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe tries sideline sports reporting.

What if the way you've been told to get fit… is exactly what's holding you back? If you're over 40 and still not where you want to be with your fitness or health, it might not be about willpower. It might be the method. This week on The Health Feast, I'm joined by Maxime Sigouin — founder of FitVegan Coaching — to unpack why so many traditional fitness plans fail us… and what actually works instead. Maxime has helped hundreds of people in their 40s, 50s, and beyond reclaim their health, reverse chronic conditions, and build sustainable strength — without chasing aesthetics or burning out. In this episode, we get into: Why most fitness advice sets people up to fail How to rebuild trust in your body after years of dieting or injury What mindset and habits actually sustain long-term change Why slowing down — even unplugging — can be a power move Maxime also shares what he believes is the single most important investment you can make in your health after 40: strength training. Not just for looks — but for confidence, function, and long-term vitality. Since we recorded, Maxime announced the release of his new book, Forever Fit — which is available for preorder now here. If you've ever felt like the quick fixes aren't working anymore… this episode offers something deeper. Live well and RAK ON, – Dr. Rak

When life feels overwhelming, the natural reaction for most people is to retreat, drift into some form of depression, and assume the pain or challenge they're experiencing is permanent. But what if the hardest season of your life could become the catalyst for your greatest transformation? Today's episode is all about accessing inner strength, gratitude, and possibility when life tries to knock you down. I'm joined by my good friend Matt Drinkhahn, author of The Eternal Optimist: It's Never Too Late and host of The Eternal Optimist Podcast. Matt is an executive coach to high-performing entrepreneurs, a devoted husband and father, and one of the most genuinely positive human beings I've ever met. But what makes his wisdom so powerful isn't that life has been easy for him—it's that he became an eternal optimist when life literally knocked him down so bad, he could barely walk for 9 months. In our conversation, Matt opens up about the most challenging period in his life when a devastating zipline accident left him in a wheelchair, virtually unable to stand up, handle chores, or provide for his family. He shares how he battled excruciating pain, which tested his marriage in addition to fears of losing his career, and the possibility he may never walk again—and the three principles he used to rebuild his life from the ground up.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Forty-Five Years Married and Afraid of Retirement: Patty's Story Patty had a life most people would admire. Forty-five years of marriage. Four children. Seven grandkids. Retirement. A kind, steady husband. From the outside, it looked like she had it all. But inside? Patty was scared. Not because she didn't love her husband. They laughed together, they got along. But underneath the "good," there was a quiet ache. A deep disconnection she didn't know how to fix. And as retirement began and the rest of life slowed down, and the thought of spending more time with her husband began to feel like a weight in her chest, she realized... she couldn't keep going like this. Love Your Husband, Even When You Don't Like Him Every few months, things would blow up. Patty and Greg would hit a wall and neither one really understood why. To make it worse, Patty carried deep embarrassment that she hadn't "figured out" marriage after four and a half decades. She'd tried to talk to friends. They were in same boat as her. She'd tried Christian counseling and received such troubling advice that Patty believes it would've led to separation—maybe even divorce—if she had followed it. Nothing was working. And it brought even more discouragement and hardness around her heart. So when Greg sent her a few Delight Your Marriage podcast episodes, suffice it to say, she felt "prickly" about it (her words!) They rubbed her the wrong way and she wasn't ready to hear it. But God was pursuing her heart. A Compassionate Clarity Call Felt Like a Breath of Fresh Air Three months later, in one of those hard "every-few-months" moments, Patty found herself on the Delight Your Marriage website. She clicked on the button for a Clarity Call—not quite knowing why. What she found on the call wasn't pressure or judgment. It was peace and grace. Someone gently saying, You're not alone. No guilt. No shame. Just a safe space to say: "I love my husband… but I don't always like him. And I don't want to keep living this way." Letting God Change Your Heart Patty shared with us that she had spent years thinking, "If he would just change, if he would be more tender… then things would change." But in the program, a shift started happening. Through practical tools, biblical truth, and the ability to ask anonymous questions, God helped Patty see that healing didn't start with changing Greg. It started with a softening in her own heart. And as she changed? Greg did, too. He noticed her gentleness. He felt her respect. And without her asking, he responded differently. Patty happily shared with us, "I'm pleasantly surprised. I can feel the way I did when we were first married." (What a celebration!) Letting Him Take the Lead Not long ago, Patty and Greg needed to have a hard conversation with their daughter and son-in-law. The old Patty would have jumped in. She would've taken over and shut down her husband to avoid conflict with the kids. But this time, she stepped back. She prayed, she supported him, and she let him lead. And the result? Peace and connection. For everyone involved. A moment of unity they never could've created in their old patterns. "I see how God is using even this to change our family legacy," she shared through tears. Love in Retirement At first, Patty wasn't sure if she belonged in the program. 1) She was older than many of the other wives in her group. 2) She'd never been in a sexless marriage—but she hadn't fully enjoyed intimacy in a long time either. But as the program went on, she found something unexpected: Healing, joy, and even desire. She found herself no longer choosing girls' shopping trips over time with Greg. She wants to be with him instead. (Yes, really!) Now, she looks forward to intimacy. And most importantly? She's renewed her intimacy with God. Because now she sees it clearly: the closeness God wants in marriage is a picture of the closeness God wants with her. Final Thoughts: It's Never Too Late for a Change of Heart Patty says she was afraid to go into retirement with things as they were. But now? She and Greg are about to take a long-awaited trip to Hawaii. And it's not just a vacation—it's a celebration. A celebration of tenderness restored. A celebration of intimacy rediscovered. A celebration of God's faithfulness to give beauty for ashes—even after 45 years. So if you feel like it's too late, rest assured, it is never too late. No matter how long it's been— God can still give you a new heart. And He delights to do it.

We are launching our In-Person Training program in churches around the country in January 2026. For more information, please visit delightyourmarriage.com/ipt. PPPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "I initially came into this program excited for the challenge, ready to work, and looking forward to change. What was quickly uncovered was that I was deeply wounded and deep down hated my husband...I wrestled with my flesh through most of the course, but then hit a breakthrough over the last few weeks...I've learned to see the blessing of God in the midst of deep struggle and trust him fully as I seek to obey him. [And] God has ignited in me a passion over the past 2 weeks to intentionally pursue my husband sexually, thanks to the Song of Solomon. God is changing my husband! He is listening to me more intentionally and with genuine interest, he's chipping in to help without asking or complaining, he is speaking words of gratitude to me, he's being more playful, he seems to be taking the lead more."

There is a message I keep getting in my DMs, and it breaks my heart every single time. It's too late for me to make friends. I'm too old. I've messed up. I missed the boat.I get why people feel this way. Societel messages lead us to believe there is a point in our lives when, if we don't have the community connections we want, then we will never have them.But if you're on the shore, watching your boat cruise away, I want to share with you a little secret: there is always another boat. The key is to stop thinking of friendship and community as something “happening” to you and instead as something you are actively building.One of the joys of being an adult is that you get to CHOOSE who you are surrounded by.

In honor of OCD Awareness Week, we are revisiting our conversation with Howie Mandel! Howie Mandel (America's Got Talent, Deal or No Deal, Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast) opens up about his struggles with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. He discusses the rituals and intrusive thoughts that force him to hit the pause button on his life, why he finally decided to seek professional treatment, and how his diagnoses have affected his lifepath. Howie explains how Candid Camera first inspired him to do comedy and recounts his first time onstage performing stand-up. He and Mayim consider the importance of living in the moment, hypervigilance as a survival mechanism, and tips on achieving success within therapy. Mayim breaks down ways to manage mental illness with meditation in another installment of Ask Mayim Anything.
