This episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle features Alex Quin and Gina Ulmos, media personality, journalist, podcast host, and author of Mis 200 Citas. Gina reflects on her decades-long career across television, Univision, and radio, and how an unexpected career transition gave her the opportunity to reinvent herself as an author. She shares how nearly 200 real dating experiences after a 16-year marriage, combined with lessons from therapists, psychologists, love coaches, and her own interviews, ultimately inspired her book.Alex and Gina dive into modern dating, Bumble, first-date expectations, red flags, personal safety, scams, self-worth, and how social media has changed the way relationships begin. They also discuss Gina's experiences interviewing major figures like Cristiano Ronaldo, how her journalism background helps her read and vet people, and why cultural compatibility and life experience matter in relationships. Ultimately, the conversation goes beyond dating to explore reinvention, embracing uncomfortable change, and why it's never too late to start a new chapter in your career or personal life.Episode Outline:[00:00] Meet Gina Ulmos and the story behind Mis 200 Citas[04:25] Leaving radio and turning life experiences into a book[09:00] 200 dates, Bumble, rejection, and finding love online[13:30] First-date expectations, money, boundaries, and red flags[18:20] Dating safety and protecting yourself when meeting strangers[23:30] How Alex met his wife and Instagram vs. dating apps[28:25] Self-worth, childhood patterns, and choosing better partners[35:05] Interviewing Cristiano Ronaldo and using journalism skills in dating[39:00] Vetting dates, background checks, scams, and trusting your instincts[41:05] Cultural compatibility, travel, relationships, and Mexico[46:05] Career reinvention, losing your safety net, and embracing change[49:00] Why it's never too late to find love[50:52] Closing thoughts and outroWisdom Nuggets:Don't Ignore the Red Flags Because You Like the Person: Attraction can make people justify behavior they would immediately recognize as problematic in someone else. Pay attention to inconsistencies, pressure, dishonesty, and actions that don't match someone's words.Treat Dating Like an Interview: Gina learned from a love coach to think about dating similarly to filling an important position. Would you keep interviewing someone who consistently shows up late, lies, acts inconsistently, or doesn't share your values? Chemistry shouldn't eliminate standards.Self-Worth Changes Who You Choose: The relationships we pursue can reflect how we see ourselves. Understanding childhood experiences, emotional patterns, boundaries, and what you're actually searching for can help prevent repeating the same relationships with different people.Losing Your Safety Net Can Create Your Next Chapter: Leaving a stable media career was uncomfortable for Gina, but it also created the time and urgency that helped her finally write her book. Sometimes the change you didn't ask for becomes the push you needed.You Either Win or You Learn: Not every relationship, career move, or chapter will work out the way you expected. That doesn't automatically make it wasted time. Experiences can become lessons that prepare you to make better decisions moving forward.It's Never Too Late to Find Love: Gina's own family gives her a unique perspective on modern dating across generations. Her mother encouraged her to date, Gina found her favorite person through Bumble, and her daughter also found a relationship through the platform.Power Quotes“You're not gonna land a good job, a good relationship if you don't have self-worth.” - Alex Quin“Changes are good.

I was looking through my interview file the other day and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I realised that I had somehow forgotten to publish this interview with Cally Beaton which we recorded last year. I mean I LOVED this interview. It inspired me so much and as we did it I was thinking about how much she was going to inspire you as well.Anyway, I'm so very glad that I did find it and that you're getting the chance to listen to this brilliant comedian and author. When we recorded she was promoting her truly brilliant book Namaste Motherf**kers which is now celebrating its 1st birthday. If you haven't read it you simply must.During the episode Cally talks about how she made the life changing decision to become a comedian at 45 (Joan Rivers told her that she should be one!!) and how she radically reinvented herself in midlife. This is exactly what SO many of us need to hear and I just know that Cally will show you that we're only just getting started, whatever our age!!

Nothing Has Been Wasted: It's Never Too Late to Become More | Deborah Andress What if not a single chapter of your life has been wasted? In Episode 25 of The Motivatarian Exchange, Dionne Woods sits down with Deborah Watson Andress, founder of The Tattered Artist, for an inspiring conversation about creativity, faith, resilience, family, legacy, and continuing to become at every age. Now in her 70s, Deborah has a message she especially wants women over 55 to hear: God has not wasted a single chapter of your story. From her home studio in South Alabama, Deborah creates mixed-media art inspired by the waterways, countryside, wildflowers, everyday people, and ordinary beauty around her. Using worn papers, bits of fabric, texture, and story, her work reflects what she believes about life itself: beauty can grow from the tattered places. And Deborah knows something about those places. After more than 20 surgeries throughout her life—including three in the past year and a half—she refuses to allow hardship to define her. She's still creating, dreaming, leading, learning, speaking, traveling, and finding plenty of reasons to have fun. In this episode, we talk about: Why your hardships don't define you Finding purpose and possibility after 55 Believing that no part of your story has been wasted Creativity and faith through difficult seasons Learning to believe in yourself Using your voice later in life Choosing kindness and compassion Social media as another form of creative expression Creating family traditions and leaving a meaningful legacy Why life is too short not to have fun Family and legacy are at the heart of Deborah's story. For 14 years, she has hosted Nana's Camp for her grandchildren, intentionally creating traditions and memories through art, scavenger hunts, talent shows, and time together. Even physical setbacks haven't stopped her from showing up. And she's far from finished. Deborah is stepping further into writing, speaking, leadership, workshops, and her new role as a curator for The Turquoise Iris Journal. I often tease Deborah that I want to be her when I grow up. Because this conversation isn't really about getting older. It's about becoming more fully yourself because you've lived long enough to understand what matters. If you're wondering whether it's too late to begin again, use your voice, pursue your creativity, or discover a new purpose for your life, this episode is for you. You are not finished. And your tattered places aren't wasted. About Deborah Watson Andress Deborah Watson Andress is the founder of The Tattered Artist, where she encourages women—especially those over 55—to believe God has not wasted a single chapter of their story. Through mixed-media art, writing, speaking, leadership, and storytelling, she encourages women to value the lives they've already lived and courageously step into what's next.

George Wright III explains that while visibility and attention matter in an attention economy, trust is the real currency and the goal for founders building long-term reputation. He argues authority compounds over time through repeated proof—valuable content, consistent messaging, conversations, and client results—unlike ads that stop working when spending stops. Popularity and follower counts don't equal credibility; trust is built through consistency and being known for solving a meaningful problem for a specific audience. Authority bridges the gap between being seen and being chosen, creating opportunities like referrals, partnerships, and speaking. Wright emphasizes reputation as a durable business asset that shortens sales cycles, boosts marketing effectiveness, and attracts talent, and he challenges listeners to identify one problem they want to be known for and demonstrate expertise around it this week.00:00 Think Beyond Campaigns00:46 Trust Is Currency01:33 Show Format Overview02:23 Authority Compounds04:27 Consistency Builds Trust05:48 Awareness vs Authority07:05 Be Known for Problems08:22 Proof Over Claims09:01 Reputation as Asset10:58 Weekly ChallengeThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

George Wright III interviews real estate investor and Lifetime Cashflow Academy founder Rod Khleif, who recounts immigrating from the Netherlands, rising from poverty, and learning that mindset drives 80–90% of success. Khleif describes owning thousands of houses and apartment units, then losing $50 million in the 2008 crash despite a 30% loan-to-value, and recovering by treating failures as “seminars” and not tying identity to any “vehicle” like real estate or business. He shares daily “I am” identity statements, goal setting as life design, and principles of decision, first action, strengths-based teamwork, peer groups, and focus (noting many top performers meditate). He discusses current opportunities amid fear, cautions for passive investing, promotes resources at Rod's Links, and explains his fulfillment-focused foundation, including feeding over 160,000 children and other local giving initiatives.00:00 Meet Rod Khleif01:38 From Immigrant to Real Estate03:02 Mindset Makes Millions03:57 2008 Crash and Recovery05:42 Vehicle Not Identity06:48 Daily Identity Habits08:42 Shift to Multifamily10:50 Opportunity in Fear11:51 Cashflow Academy Mission13:07 Asset Classes and Advice13:32 Guidance for Uncertainty14:05 Free Resources Plug14:20 Why Goals Matter15:04 Vision Board Planner15:59 Goal Setting Steps16:45 Decide Then Act17:28 Strengths And Peer Group18:22 Focus And Meditation19:46 Mastermind Room Strategy20:54 Giving Back Foundation23:31 Achievement Vs Fulfillment24:34 Where To Connect25:03 Final TakeawaysThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

George Wright III explains why many successful founders still feel burned out and restless: achievement without purpose feels empty. He argues entrepreneurs often start with a desire for freedom and impact but drift into performance, revenue obsession, and comparison, letting the business become the master instead of the servant. Burnout isn't a required price of success; founders should build systems, leaders, and processes that return time and control. Purpose provides resilience during setbacks by giving challenges context, while fulfillment comes from living aligned with values rather than external milestones. Wright urges listeners to assess whether their business supports their health, relationships, integrity, and quality of life, and to spend 10 minutes asking why they started, whether current living reflects priorities, and where their path leads in five years.00:00 Burnout After Success01:43 Freedom vs Performance Trap02:49 Business Should Serve Life04:04 Purpose Fuels Resilience05:19 Achievement vs Fulfillment06:32 Values as Decision Filter07:44 10 Minute Purpose Check08:27 Wrap Up and Next StepsThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

In today's episode George Wright III argues that the economy profits from distractions and that entrepreneurs face constant pulls from notifications, people, meetings, and opportunities, making focus essential. George shares that your future is determined more by what you ignore than what you pursue. Attention, more than time, is the most valuable asset because scattered attention wastes available time and breaks momentum, creating hidden opportunity costs. Focus requires intentional elimination rather than better time management, requiring fewer priorities, saying no—even to good opportunities that don't align—and protecting what matters. Consistent concentrated effort compounds over days, weeks, and months into exponential results, so you are challenged to identify one key priority and eliminate distractions to protect it.00:00 Distraction Economy00:55 Show Format Overview01:35 Ignore to Win01:55 Attention Is Everything03:09 Hidden Cost of Interruptions04:22 Eliminate Not Organize06:07 Saying No to Good07:43 Focus Compounds Results09:51 Weekly Focus ChallengeThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Many of us have felt stuck professionally, like we've lost our spark, or are too old to follow our dreams. Entrepreneur David Thurston's new memoir, The Spiral Staircase: Why I Stepped Off a Rocket Ship to Build a Cathedral, is filled with insight and advice to help you get back on track. Jill sat down with Thurston, where he provided lessons from his own career journey. Thurston built a hair color brand called Pulp Riot from scratch, scaled it globally, and sold it to L'Oréal for nearly $100 million, all in under two years. But then, at the peak of success, he walked away, took a year off, and asked himself: What kind of company, and what kind of life, do I really want to build? Four years later, David and Alexis bootstrapped a new hair color brand, Danger Jones, which is taking on the industry's largest color houses by focusing on the professional artist community rather than traditional corporate marketing. The conservation is an honest look at what it takes to create something new, take on the biggest players in the industry, and create “work-life fusion” – not necessarily “work-life balance.” And why all the money in the world doesn't buy happiness. Jill Wagner (@jillrwagner) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. She's the Managing Editor of Mo News. Jill previously worked as a correspondent for CBS News, Cheddar News, and News 12. She also co-founded the Need2Know newsletter, and has made it a goal to drop a Seinfeld reference into every Mo News podcast.
Christine Hobson retired at 60. Two days later, she ran her first marathon.She has run more than 100 since. Every continent. A world record in Antarctica. And when she describes it, she does not lead with the marathons. She leads with what the first one taught her: she had been underestimating herself the whole time.That is the topic this week.We do this as humans. We try something, it does not go well, and we file it away as evidence. Enough of those and we start building a case against ourselves. I hear it constantly when I suggest pickleball to somebody. I'm too old. I'm too out of shape. I'm too late. Fill in the blank.There is a second story in the episode that lands the same point from a different angle. A woman on a date says, almost by accident, that in another universe she would be a stand-up comedian. She had never said it out loud before. Her date asks the obvious question back: why not in this universe? She gave him the list of reasons. He kept peeling them back. She became a stand-up comedian.So here is the pickleball version. You have a picture of yourself out on the court. The player who sees the game better, who puts the ball where they meant to put it, who feels good walking on. If that player is a 3.5 and you are a 2.5, there is nothing structural stopping you. Not tomorrow. Maybe not in six months. But in eighteen months, with a clear plan and a clear sense of what you are working on, absolutely.To be sure, some things really do impede you. Bad information impedes you. Bad guidance impedes you. Coming at the game from a purely technical angle, where you need to know the exact paddle angle and exactly where each toe points, impedes you, because that is not how the brain learns to play. Those are real.Everything else on your list, you put there.And to be clear, none of this is a directive. Nobody needs to reach a level. If you are happy playing exactly the way you play now, that is a fine place to be. But if there is a version of you out ahead that you actually want, do not be the one blocking the path.**The riff: two ways to handle adversity**Missing a shot is an adverse event. Small on the scale of adversity, but real inside the game.First situation. My partner and I are stacked. The return of serve comes back hard, with spin, into the far corner. He has to cover a lot of ground and hit a very difficult backhand. He catches the top of the net. Good effort, hard shot, no issue.He apologizes. I tell him there is nothing to apologize for, that it was a great return and a tough ask from that position, and that I am not upset. He apologizes again. Then he says it: I shouldn't miss that.He processed it the same way today that he processed it a few years ago. It is a loop, and it costs him something every time.Second situation. Last game of the day, court one, score somewhere in the fours, evenly matched. My focus wandered off. I do not know where it went, but it left. I missed a few shots I do not normally miss.I could have hunkered down and demanded that focus come back. But there is no switch to flip. Ebbs and flows in attention are the most natural thing in the world. They happen to full-time professional athletes in every sport.So I told my partner: pick me up, I'll be back in a few minutes. And I was. We lost that game, but we tightened it up and made it competitive down the stretch.Same category of event. Two very different relationships with it. The second one gives you a calmer mind, and a calmer mind sees the court better and hits the next ball better. That is not a soft benefit. That is the mechanism.**Extra coaching tip**Notice who your partner is apologizing to. When a player says sorry after a difficult miss, they are usually not apologizing to you. They are apologizing to the version of themselves who was supposed to make that shot. That is why reassurance from you does not land. You cannot answer an expectation you did not set.What you can do is name the difficulty of the shot out loud, once, and then move on to the next point with your own body language completely neutral. You are not arguing with their standard. You are just declining to feed it.Be well,Tony

Mark J. Silverman on Leadership Capacity, Triggers, and Resilience Under PressureGeorge Wright III interviews executive coach and author Mark J. Silverman about why leadership breakdowns are often “capacity problems” driven by stress and unresolved childhood overlays in relationships. Silverman shares his journey from alcoholism and addiction to sobriety in 1989, later business success, midlife panic, depression, and rebuilding through endurance goals, therapy, journaling, and self-help—leading him into coaching. He explains allostatic load and how overwhelmed leaders lose composure despite knowing the material, then outlines practical foundations (sleep, food, downtime, family, contemplation) plus his framework from The Rising Leader Handbook: leading up, across, down, and self. He describes building capacity by repeatedly facing discomfort without overreacting, and flags warning signs like autocratic behavior, low curiosity, blaming, and resentment—prompting leaders to ask where they failed to set boundaries, ask for needs, or create clear agreements. He emphasizes preparation over prediction in an uncertain world, accepting unfairness, “working the problem,” and putting yourself on the list; contact is markjsilverman.com.00:00 Childhood Boss Overlay00:15 Welcome and Guest Intro01:35 From Addiction to Success03:05 Midlife Crash and Healing05:17 Finding Coaching Purpose06:52 Leadership Capacity Explained07:21 Allostatic Load Basics10:37 Four Leadership Arenas12:07 Triggers and Trusted Advisor14:52 Building Capacity Practice16:51 Early Stress Warning Signs19:25 Leading Through Uncertainty23:12 Put Yourself First ClosingThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

George Wright III explains that businesses grow faster when they build authority before spending on marketing, because marketing only amplifies existing positioning while authority earns trust. He argues founders often think more ads or content will fix slow sales, but unclear messaging and weak positioning are simply exposed by increased attention. Authority is created through credibility and consistent thought leadership—podcasts, newsletters, videos, books, speaking, referrals—and it shortens sales cycles, increases referrals, supports higher pricing, and makes marketing more effective. He urges entrepreneurs to build owned media assets (email list, website, community, long-form content) rather than relying on rented platforms with changing algorithms. The takeaway is to invest less in buying attention and more in earning trust by building an authority asset this week, then let marketing amplify it.00:00 Marketing vs Authority00:42 Show Format and Focus01:23 Marketing Amplifies Positioning03:01 Authority Builds Trust04:39 Own Your Media Assets06:15 Authority Compounds Over Time07:54 Visibility Without Trust09:36 Build One Authority Asset10:42 Wrap Up and ResourcesThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Build a Legacy, Not Just a Business with Cory ProcterGeorge Wright III interviews Cory Procter, founder of ProCapital Wealth Management, author of Built Not Broke, and former NFL player, about helping entrepreneurs convert business success into long-term, intentional wealth and legacy. Procter shares how his family's bankruptcy after a lawsuit and his own NFL experience shaped his focus on protecting assets and creating financial runway. They discuss why founders often miss financial freedom by staying trapped inside day-to-day operations and failing to take revenue off the table, diversify, and address blind spots like asset titling, maintaining an updated balance sheet, and properly integrating estate documents with how assets are titled and beneficed to avoid probate and unintended disinheritance. Procter emphasizes systematic distributions, risk reduction against litigation or law changes, and acting now to protect family and business, and he shares where to find him and his book.00:00 Protect Your Equity00:45 Welcome And Guest Intro02:20 Cory NFL To Wealth05:51 Why Founders Miss Freedom08:35 Asset Titling Basics11:35 Estate Plan Pitfalls13:11 Intentional Wealth Mindset15:47 Systematic Distributions19:29 Why Write Built Not Broke21:05 Masterminds And Legacy23:02 Where To Connect24:26 Final Call To ActionThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

The conversation focused on the real struggles many women over 45 face when contemplating a new beginning. It's easy to let fear—of being “too old,” of failure, of others' opinions—hold you back from reinventing your life and pursuing your true passions. But a key theme that emerged was this: the cost of waiting is greater than the risk of starting, and regret lasts much longer than any fear you feel today. Top Takeaways for Women Over 45 Ready for a Fresh Start: Waiting Creates Regret. Every day spent waiting for the “right time” results in missed opportunities and years of wondering “what if.” Take Action First, Confidence Will Follow. The discussion explored how confidence isn't a prerequisite—it grows after you take that first brave step toward change. It's Never Too Late for Reinvention. Whether you dream of starting a business, going back to school, traveling, writing a book, or rediscovering your own joy—your next chapter is ready to be written. To all women 45+, if you're uncertain, stuck, or scared it's too late: trust that small steps today lead to transformation tomorrow. Don't let fear make your decisions; your best years, passions, and possibilities are waiting. Ready to rediscover yourself? Start your journey with She Shift—a community empowering women in midlife to take back their story, reignite their passion, and rise to what's next.
George Wright III argues that what holds many businesses back is not marketing or sales but unclear thinking, which creates overwhelm through too many options and decisions. He introduces a new weekly rhythm for The Daily Mastermind: “Think Better” Mondays focused on the inner game and who you need to become, Wednesdays on building your business, Fridays on leadership and lifestyle, and conversations with entrepreneurs and experts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He challenges the myth that more information leads to better decisions, noting that information creates options and complexity, while clarity comes from deciding what matters most. Procrastination is framed as uncertainty, and clarity is said to come through action and choosing the next answer, not perfect certainty. He emphasizes that confusion is more expensive than failure, encourages focusing on two or three needle-moving priorities tied to vision and purpose, and closes with a reflection question plus an invitation to join The Prosperity Report newsletter at dailymastermind.com.00:00 Clarity Starts Here00:51 New Weekly Rhythm01:48 Information Overload Myth03:13 Decisions Create Momentum04:03 Confusion Costs More04:56 Ask What Matters Most05:45 Vision Filters Priorities06:43 Work Harder Won't Help07:44 Daily Clarity Challenge08:10 Newsletter And SignoffThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

It is a privilege to welcome Hilary Roberts to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Hilary is a singer-songwriter who is a phoenix rising from the ashes. After suffering many years of trauma and abuse, Hilary made the decision that she could no longer deal with those demons alone. On May 9, 1997, she reached out to a mentor who offered her solutions and a way of life to help her recover one day at a time. She has been sober ever since. Hilary is not only a trauma survivor but also survived open-heart surgery after being diagnosed with a very rare congenital heart defect, to which she was only given a 50% chance of success.After the surgery, she lost her voice but eventually got it back after a year and a half. All these situations led her to focus on a life of giving back and spreading the message of hope wherever she goes. She now dedicates her life and talents to making a positive impact on society through her music. Her goal with her music is to be a beacon of hope and empowerment to all.In 2018, she released her debut single “There For You” under her self-owned label, Red Songbird, which charted No.10 on the Billboard Dance-Club Chart. She followed up that chart-topping single with a second one, an upbeat rendition of Soul II Soul's “Back to Life,” which spent 13 weeks on the Top 50 chart before claiming No.1 in 2019. She also released “Fight to the Other Side,” which was dedicated to her beautiful friend who was there for her during the depths of her deepest pain. Following her chart-topping success, she released her single, “Good Man,” which is all about celebrating men who make a positive difference in our lives.On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Hilary Roberts spoke about starting the Red Songbird Foundation and her latest single, “Never Too Late,” which she co-wrote with the iconic Justin Tranter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Many of us have felt stuck professionally, like we've lost our spark, or are too old to follow our dreams. Entrepreneur David Thurston's new memoir, The Spiral Staircase: Why I Stepped Off a Rocket Ship to Build a Cathedral, is filled with insight and advice to help you get back on track. Jill sat down with Thurston, where he provided lessons from his own career journey. Thurston built a hair color brand called Pulp Riot from scratch, scaled it globally, and sold it to L'Oréal for nearly $100 million, all in under two years. But then, at the peak of success, he walked away, took a year off, and asked himself: What kind of company, and what kind of life, do I really want to build? Four years later, David and Alexis bootstrapped a new hair color brand, Danger Jones, which is taking on the industry's largest color houses by focusing on the professional artist community rather than traditional corporate marketing. The conservation is an honest look at what it takes to create something new, take on the biggest players in the industry, and create “work-life fusion” – not necessarily “work-life balance.” And why all the money in the world doesn't buy happiness.

In this episode of Voices of Student Success, Inside Higher Ed's podcast series exploring what really shapes students' experiences, Terah Crews, chief executive officer of ReUp Education, joins IHE's student success reporter, Joshua Bay. While many students stop out before earning a credential, often they plan to return. Yet reenrolling can prove just as challenging as enrolling in the first place. As colleges look to reenroll adults with some college but no credential, they are rethinking how they support students whose educational journeys aren't linear. They discuss why students stop out, what motivates them to return, the barriers colleges still place in their way and what it will take to build institutions that truly serve today's adult learners.

Host George Wright III interviews Brad Kugler, founder of DirectMail2.0 and a marketing strategist with more than 35 years of experience, about why direct mail is becoming a competitive advantage again in an increasingly crowded digital marketplace. Brad explains how successful businesses combine traditional marketing with modern technologies such as digital tracking, AI, call attribution, retargeting, and competitive intelligence rather than relying on a single marketing channel. Together they discuss why entrepreneurs often fail to recognize market shifts until it's too late, how attention has become today's most valuable marketing asset, and why integrating high-touch experiences with high-tech analytics creates stronger customer engagement. Brad also shares practical advice on building a balanced marketing strategy, embracing innovation without abandoning proven fundamentals, and using AI to improve decision-making instead of replacing it.Episode Timestamps01:05 How Brad Built a Career in Direct Mail04:30 Why Direct Mail Is Becoming Relevant Again07:21 Cutting Through Digital Noise08:06 Customers Aren't Leaving—Markets Are Changing09:11 Why Entrepreneurs Miss Market Shifts12:39 Speed vs. Strategy in Modern Marketing14:45 Building a Predictable Marketing System15:31 Using AI to Improve Marketing Intelligence18:44 How AI Finds Hidden Business Trends20:08 Why Experience Still Matters21:04 Advice for Businesses Rethinking Their Marketing22:42 Where to Learn More About DirectMail2.023:12 George's Final TakeawaysThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Y'all, I need you to hear this today: the belief that "it's too late for me" is not a fact, it's a thought you've been watering for years, and today we're ripping it out at the root. In this episode I'm walking you through the exact belief systems that keep so many of you stuck in relationships that go nowhere, the scarcity stories, the "I'm too broken," the "the good ones are gone", and I'm showing you how those thoughts became beliefs in the first place. Plus I'm sharing the story of my client who came to me in her 50s after an avoidant discard, convinced she'd never be loved well. One month into our work together, she told me she has hope again. If that doesn't give you goosebumps, I don't know what will.Inside the Episode:The "leaf on the stream" exercise to catch the beliefs quietly running your love lifeWhy real change doesn't have to take years, and what actually speeds it upDiane's story: from "is it too late for me?" to "I feel new"If you're ready to start excavating the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, my Identity Reset mini-course is exactly where to begin.

George Wright III interviews attorney, former COO, and entrepreneur Drea Lynn, author of Smart Quit: Cash In, Clock Out, about why leaving a career for entrepreneurship requires strategy rather than impulse. Drawing from her own experience of giving months' notice only to be told her last day would be that Friday, Drea explains how she "quit wrong" so others don't have to. She introduces her four-phase Smart Quit framework—Prepare, Position, Pivot, and Profit—showing why mindset, financial planning, market validation, and relationship management are critical before leaving a job. The conversation explores how current employment can become a launchpad by building skills, systems, mentors, and professional relationships instead of simply collecting a paycheck. Drea also discusses identifying personal insecurities that affect leadership, testing business ideas before making the leap, leaving an employer with integrity, and defining success beyond income. She concludes by encouraging aspiring entrepreneurs to build businesses that support the life they actually want, rather than chasing entrepreneurship without a plan.Episode Timestamps:00:30 The Story Behind "I Quit Wrong" 01:46 Drea Lynn's Entrepreneurial Journey 03:10 The Mistake That Changed Everything 05:30 Would She Have Quit Anyway? 07:15 What Smart Quit Really Means 09:20 Turning Your Job Into An Asset 11:30 The Four-Phase Smart Quit Framework 12:05 Prepare: Building The Right Mindset 16:00 Position: Test Before You Leap 18:30 Passion, Market Fit And Validation 20:20 Using Your Current Job As A Launchpad 22:45 Pivot: Leaving The Right Way 26:50 Profit: Designing Success On Your Terms 29:00 Building A Profitable Business Foundation 31:10 Resources And Next Steps 32:10 Final Advice: Just Keep GoingThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! 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? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Helen Lo is the founder of Lo & Sons, the cult-favorite travel bag brand that basically invented the stylish carry-on for working women.Helen started the company at 65 years old, after she had already retired. She was born into a privileged family in China that lost it all when her father died. She grew up in poverty, went to boarding school at seven, and promised herself she would never be poor again. She earned a PhD while raising babies, spent decades moving city to city for her husband's career, reinventing herself every single time. And when she finally said "I'm done," she couldn't find a travel bag that actually worked for women. So she recruited her two sons and flew to a factory in China with zero fashion or manufacturing experience. Nine prototypes later, she had the bag that built the business. Today, Lo & Sons is in its sixteenth year, still family run, built without a dollar of outside funding.In this episode, Helen breaks down exactly how she went from idea to real business, how she validated the concept before spending a dime, how one phone call to a friend of a friend unlocked their first factory, and how they caught the early Facebook wave and one blog feature that changed the trajectory of the brand. She also gets really honest about what it costs to build a business with your own children, why she stepped down as CEO of her own company, the trade show flop that taught them everything, and the mistakes that slowed them down, like hiring too fast and pivoting too slow. Helen is proof that you don't need investors, industry experience, or perfect timing, just a real problem, the willingness to learn, and the courage to start. If you've been telling yourself it's too late or that this chapter of your life is already written, this is the conversation you need to hear.In this episode, we'll talk to Helen about:* Why getting out of your comfort zone starts with an inner calling. [02:37]* Growing up in poverty after losing everything and developing determination. [04:56]* Generosity as her guiding principles in life and business. [05:55]* Why an abundance mindset creates unexpected opportunities. [07:59]* Putting her career on hold while supporting her husband's path and raising a family. [09:21]* The biggest career lesson she learned from earning a PhD. [10:41]* How a frustrating travel problem inspired the idea for a better bag. [12:41]* How a lifelong curiosity fueled her entrepreneurial mindset. [17:48]* Validating the business idea by talking to the right target customer. [20:01]* Building the company alongside her sons and defining their roles. [21:00]* Finding the first factory and learning product development from scratch. [24:48]* The design feedback that transformed the original bag into the OG. [26:37]* Refining every detail through customer feedback and multiple prototypes. [30:37]* Why trade shows failed and social media became the brand's breakthrough. [33:04]* How partnering with the right influencer became a major turning point for the brand. [34:45]* Navigating today's changing marketing landscape. [37:06]* The challenges of building a business alongside family. [39:27]* Why stepping down as CEO was the right decision. [41:30]* Why pivoting quickly and hiring intentionally are essential for long-term growth. [44:37]* Why she wanted to be a mom again instead of her sons' boss. [46:15]* Why persistence matters, but knowing when to pivot matters more.
