JD completed the Epic Deca, which is 10 Ironman triathlons in 10 days across all six Hawaiian islands, and became one of three people in the world to ever finish it. He sold his house to fund it. He came home to a storage unit because he couldn't afford anywhere else to live. And he says the hardest part wasn't the race itself. JD is a military veteran, an engineer, a certified naturopathic practitioner, and an endurance athlete who has spent his life learning how to build the kind of mental fortitude that carries you through not just extreme physical challenges but the everyday ones that most of us are quietly battling. Depression doesn't leave after you climb the mountain, he says. It's how you cope with it that changes your life.  We get into how he prepared for the Epic Deca, why discipline is something earned through structure and systems rather than something you're given, how he breaks down terrifying goals into something actually executable, and what sustainable performance really means when you're also a father who wants to be able to run around at the park with his son. We also talk about writing his book, Hunger for More in Life, and one particular message he received from a reader that made every bit of it worth it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What an Ironman endurance race entails, and what multiplying it by 10 across six Hawaiian islands looks like Why discipline is a byproduct of structure, not a personality trait you either have or don't The difference between motivation and discipline, and when to use each one What sustainable performance actually means, and why longevity is built in the connections you make along the way Why your goal probably isn't big enough if it doesn't scare you, and how to break it down so you can actually move How he applied the same engineering method he used to train for the Epic Deca to writing a book The reader message that made him understand why he wrote it   Find JD at HungryWarriorAcademy.com Book: Hunger for More in Life, available on Amazon Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman *****If you don't have control over your thoughts, then you don't have control over your feelingsDr Richard Bander founder of NLP     2. His Grace Overcomes Your Weakness When you feel inadequate, scripture teaches that your insufficiency is actually the canvas for God's power. Paul asked God to take away a deep struggle, but God answered:   "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9   "there's a well-known story, often told about…" Ignacy Jan Paderewski — the famous Polish concert pianist. A little boy who just started taking piano lessons is taken to his concert by his mother… he sneaks up on stage and begins to play chopsticks… the crowd aghast - But Paderewski sneaks up behind him and says keep playing and then weaves a beautiful song behind it.    THE INSIGHT - YOU GOTTA BE WILLING TO GET UP AND PLAY.

Adam helped a client regain their confidence and self-belief in competing at the highest level in Jiu Jitsu and to be willing to leave the comfort zone of predictable opponents to compete at a higher level.

The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman It is easy to feel inadequate when we measure ourselves by our own strengths, skills, lifestyle or limitations. The Bible directly tackles this feeling by shifting the focus from our own sufficiency to Christ's completeness in us.   Scripture never promises that we will be enough on our own, but it repeatedly promises that Christ in us makes us more than enough.   The Bible expresses this truth across four primary themes:   1. You Are "More Than Conquerors" "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." — Romans 8:37   The Greek word used here is hupernikaō, which literally translates to “super-overcomers"   We win in the end… Heaven, eternity with God.     THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM **You might secretly think - yeah but I want to be superabundant NOW -  There is nothing wrong with that… but also realize it does not make you happy. REFRIGERATOR BOX     2 Peter 1:3 — God's divine power has granted us everything required for life and godliness. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. From epithumeo; a longing (especially for what is forbidden) -- concupiscence, desire, lust (after). epithymía (from 1909 /epí, "focused on" and 2372 /thymós, "passionate desire") – properly, passion built on strong feelings (urges). These can be positive or negative, depending on whether the desire is inspired by faith (God's inbirthed persuasion)   *****If you don't have control over your thoughts, then you don't have control over your feelingsDr Richard Bander founder of NLP

What if recovery is not just about addiction, but about the patterns, roles, and coping habits that keep high-achieving women disconnected from themselves?In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon sits down with Jeanne Foot, Founder and CEO of The Recovery Concierge. With lived experience, credentials as an International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor, and training in hypnotherapy, NLP, and somatic work, Jeanne brings a grounded and compassionate lens to recovery, resilience, and sustainable change.Jeanne reframes recovery as something every human can relate to, from people pleasing and overgiving to overworking, numbing out, and abandoning personal needs in the name of productivity. She explains why emotional sobriety is not about never being triggered, but about having the tools to stay connected to yourself when life feels demanding.Listeners will walk away with a practical understanding of nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and why slowing down can actually help leaders move forward with more clarity and strength.Timestamps:(01:49) - (05:41) - Why recovery applies to everyday life, people pleasing, boundaries, and overgiving(05:42) - (10:41) - Childhood roles, attachment, authenticity, and why old patterns show up in adult leadership(10:42) - (16:54) - Overworking, busyness, digital overload, and socially acceptable ways entrepreneurs numb out(16:55) - (24:51) - Emotional sobriety, HALT, decision fatigue, and learning to manage your state(24:52) - (32:33) - Why slowing down helps you move faster and how to stop powering through depletion(32:34) - (40:22) - Nervous system regulation, breathwork, self-awareness, and treating yourself with compassionResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastFree resources from The Recovery Concierge: https://therecoveryconcierge.com/Connect with Jeanne Foot:Learn more about Jeanne: https://therecoveryconcierge.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therecoveryconcierge/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therecovery_concierge/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanne-foot-the-recovery-concierge/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naturally-high/id1585263254Email: info@therecoveryconcierge.comJeanne Foot is the Founder and CEO of The Recovery Concierge, a holistic support service for individuals and families navigating mental health, addiction recovery, trauma healing, and peak performance.

On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince wraps up his conversation with Heidi Heron, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner with 25+ years of experience, with a discussion about changing what we coin ·unresourceful· money habits; chronic overspending which is often driven by unconscious needs like control, safety, and power, as well the opposite pattern of being extremely frugal, often rooted in fear and a lack of safety. Heidi suggests practical next steps: get clear on what you want, examine what money and spending mean to you, and defines values for different types of money (today, future, business, fun) Learn more at heidiherron.com, including 1:1 work, NLP training, and her book, The Wizard of Cause. 01:00 Money as Energy Setup 01:32 Retail Therapy Overspending 05:41 Rewiring the Dopamine Loop 07:51 Breaking the Spending Circuit 09:14 The Miser Money Fear 11:23 A Father's Money Shift 16:03 Mindset Steps to Change 19:35 Money Buckets and Values 23:10 Resources and Wrap Up Key Links: https://www.heidiheron.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.heidiheron/ https://www.facebook.com/DrHeidiHeron https://www.youtube.com/c/nlpwithdrheidi https://www.linkedin.com/in/drheidiheron/ Contact the Host - vince@thecfoathome.com Want to be a guest on CFO at Home?

Your brain runs a persuasion campaign on you every single day — manufacturing certainty, defending beliefs that stopped being true years ago, and keeping you loyal to a version of yourself you never actually chose. Owen Fitzpatrick has spent 25+ years studying how minds get changed — as a filmmaker, an NLP co-author with Dr. Richard Bandler, a persuasion consultant for companies like Google and Coca-Cola, and a researcher who has traveled to North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan to study propaganda at its most extreme. But after all that, he says the most powerful propaganda machine he's ever encountered wasn't out there — it was inside his own head. He calls it "inner propaganda," and in this episode, he shows you how to catch it running in yours.

In this episode, Marsha shares a recent experience that became a powerful real-time lesson in boundaries, emotional regulation, and subconscious patterns.After a misrepresentation involving her professional identity triggered a strong emotional response, Marsha found herself face-to-face with old patterns that could have easily taken over the moment. Instead of bypassing what she was feeling or reacting from the trigger, she used the very tools she teaches to regulate, create space, and choose how she wanted to respond.Marsha explores the difference between validating your emotions and allowing them to drive your behaviour, why certain situations can activate much older stories, and what it looks like to hold a boundary while remaining grounded in who you are today.This episode is a reminder that doing the work doesn't mean you stop getting triggered. The work shows up in what you're able to do next — how quickly you recognize the pattern, regulate yourself, communicate clearly, and choose a response that reflects who you are becoming.Chapters:[03:11] - Navigating Misunderstandings and Boundaries in NLP[05:20] - Understanding Emotional Responses[11:15] - Retaining Personal Power Through Self-Reflection[12:53] - Embracing Personal Power and GrowthMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterOUTSPOKEN QUIZ: https://nlp.marshavanw.com/LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-inOUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlpUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowOUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.comTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

What if the company quietly making OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta's models smarter was founded in India?Turing is one of the companies shaping how AI is advancing. It started in 2018 as a talent platform that found the top 1% of the world's engineers, became a unicorn in 2021, and then made a bet almost nobody understood at the time. In early 2022, long before ChatGPT existed, Turing began helping OpenAI improve its models by feeding human expertise directly into training. Today its network of more than four million vetted engineers and domain experts powers the post-training and evaluation work behind the frontier labs, and the company crossed roughly 300 million dollars in revenue while staying profitable, at a 2.2 billion dollar valuation.Vijay Krishnan is the co-founder and CTO. He was an NLP researcher at Stanford back when almost no one believed that predicting the next word could ever turn into reasoning, and he explains why running a modern model company without human-in-the-loop data is like entering a race with three tyres instead of four. He walks through how a model is actually taught to use software like Salesforce, why coding became the beachhead for every lab, and what changed for Turing the moment Scale AI was absorbed into Meta.The conversation then turns to the question every founder is now asked in the room. What is your moat against Claude? Vijay's answer is to go deeper than the frontier labs can reach, into the outcome you own and the context that lives inside an enterprise.If you are excited about how AI actually gets built, who really trains the models, and how to build a company that survives the labs, this episode is for you.00:00 - Trailer02:20 - The Indian company quietly behind OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic04:50 - How Turing went from a talent platform to a unicorn to an AI research partner08:20 - The bet nobody understood11:50 - Why a model company without human data is "racing on three tyres"15:50 - Why coding became the beachhead for every frontier lab19:50 - What changed for Turing the day Meta bought Scale AI23:50 - "What is your moat against Claude?"29:50 - Will AI create more lawyers, not fewer?34:50 - The teams where engineers haven't written code in six months39:50 - 16% of the Philippines' GDP is under threat from AI?43:50 - How you actually teach a model to use Salesforce49:50 - How robots are taught real-world work54:50 - Why million-dollar researcher packages are breaking startup hiring59:50 - The one kind of AI company that gets stronger as the models improve1:04:50 - Product vs. services, and the trap that quietly kills AI startups-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

I'm Still Finding My Way – Why You Don't Need Your Old Self Back Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I just want the old me back"? I know I have. I've heard it from hundreds of clients too. It sounds comforting because we believe our old self represents certainty, confidence and stability. But what if that's not really what we're looking for? In this deeper dive I explore an idea that completely changed the way I see personal development. Instead of chasing an old version of ourselves—or even trying to discover some perfect "real me"—perhaps we're simply finding our way. Because your way changes as you change. I'll share part of my own journey through depression, identity and the work I've been doing around my North Star. Together we'll explore why identity isn't somewhere you arrive, but something that keeps unfolding, and I'll guide you through a simple reflective process to help you reconnect with the qualities that have always been part of you. If you've ever felt lost, uncertain or caught between who you were and who you're becoming, I hope this episode helps you realise that maybe you haven't lost your way at all. In this episode you'll discover: Why wanting your "old self" back may be keeping you stuck. The difference between identity and the qualities that never leave you. A simple "Museum of Selves" exercise to reflect on every version of your life. Why your future isn't about becoming someone different, but continuing to unfold. Practical journal questions to help you take your next small step. Remember... You're not going backwards. You're still finding your way. And your way changes as you change. If this episode resonates, please share it with someone who needs to hear it: https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/486-im-still-finding-my-way/ and if you'd like me to explore a particular challenge, email me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com. Oh! And there's a video of me recording this. It's rough and ready because that's all it needs to be https://youtu.be/hWcLgtawcp0 Until next time... Have more fun than you can stand. Shine Brightly

Imagine going alcohol-free in a country where wine is heritage, champagne is identity, and the only framework anyone has ever offered you is either you're an alcoholic or you're fine. That's the world Lorraine was living in when she started her Dry January four years ago in Paris, and decided this time to actually ask herself why she was drinking rather than just white-knuckling a month off. What she found on the other side of that question completely changed her life, and now she's building something that didn't exist in France even two years ago: a real alcohol-free movement, with a daily flood of LinkedIn haters to prove it's working. We go deep into: the French moderation myth, the idea that sophisticated social drinking is somehow different from the drinking culture everywhere else, and why the real question to ask yourself has never been "do I have a problem" but "is this bringing me closer to the life I actually want to build?" We also talk about how Lorraine built her alter ego, Lolita, as a way to step into audacity when fear and self-doubt were still running the show, and why that concept is one of the most powerful tools for anyone trying to grow into a version of themselves they haven't fully met yet.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Why France has one of the most entrenched drinking cultures in the world and what makes it so hard to question The binary trap: either you're an alcoholic or you have no problem, and why the gray zone is where most people actually live What it felt like to go to parties sober in Paris and observe human behavior around alcohol for the first time The Matrix concept Lorraine shares with her clients and how to use it to step outside the cultural programming The neuroscience: cortisol spikes, amygdala activation, and why the day after drinking keeps you stuck in autopilot mode How she built her alter ego Lolita to launch her business when she still didn't fully believe she could The alcohol-free movement emerging in France right now, and why she keeps posting through the haters   Find Lorraine on Instagram: @thefrenchsober  Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

After a decade running Diamond Club Matchmaking for high-achieving men and women, Faye shares the biggest patterns she's seen, from women with unrealistic "checklists" around age and height, to the personal journey that inspired her book, Seduce Like a Goddess.Timestamps:00:00 — Intro: Meet Jacqueline Faye, "The Fairy Matchmaker" 02:00 — How Faye Got Into Matchmaking (From Actress to NLP Coach) 04:30 — Why She Started Diamond Club Matchmaking 06:15 — What Faye Noticed First: Entitled vs. Underprepared Women 09:00 — Are Women Really Looking for Love or a Feeling? 11:00 — The Problem With Rigid Dating "Checklists" (Age, Height, etc.) 13:30 — Faye's Personal Story: Becoming the Breadwinner & Losing Her Feminine Energy 17:00 — Taking Phone Calls While Giving Birth (The Hustle Culture Trap) 19:30 — How Her Marriage Changed When Roles Shifted 22:00 — Reclaiming Feminine Energy in Business and Life 24:30 — The Chronic Pain Story: Masculine Energy & the Body 26:30 — Letting Him Lead: Practical Examples 29:00 — What Men Actually Want: Affection AND Appreciation 31:30 — Why Saying "Thank You" After a Date Still Matters 34:00 — Behind the Book: "Seduce Like a Goddess" & the Secret Spell Concept 36:30 — Manifestation, Mantras, and Getting "Lit Up From the Inside" 39:00 — Client Story: Throwing Out the "Tall, Handsome" Checklist 42:00 — Biological Age vs. Chronological Age in Dating 45:00 — Healthy Love Is Created, Not Found (Attachment Styles) 47:30 — Faye's Story: Letting Go of Timelines Around Having Kids 50:00 — Why Desperation Energy Repels Men 52:00 — What Keeps Long-Term Couples in Love (Date Nights, Effort, Spice) 55:00 — Chemistry vs. Compatibility Explained 58:00 — Advice for Singles: Ask Questions, Don't Just Talk About Yourself 1:00:30 — Advice for Married Women: Reigniting the Spark 1:02:30 — Miss Charlene's Trench Coat Story 1:04:00 — Where to Find Faye + Get the Book 1:05:30 — Closing Thoughts: Step Into Your Goddess FrequencyFaye opens up about her own shift from operating in "masculine hustle energy" as a CEO and breadwinner to reclaiming her feminine energy, and how that shift changed her marriage, her business, and even a year-long chronic pain issue she believes was tied to the imbalance. The conversation covers what most women misunderstand about men (hint: it's not just affection they crave, it's appreciation), the difference between chemistry and compatibility, why throwing out rigid dating "timelines" often leads to exactly what you were chasing, and practical advice for both single and married women on reigniting attraction, receiving instead of over-giving, and staying open to partners who don't match a mental checklist.This episode blends real client stories, personal vulnerability, and practical dating advice for women looking to shift from chasing love to naturally attracting it.

Most speakers assume their audience is persuadable by good evidence. Psychologist Owen Fitzpatrick, who trained under NLP co-creator Richard Bandler and has travelled to over a hundred countries, including North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran, studying how belief actually forms, argues that's backwards. People believe what feels right, fits their identity, and keeps them inside their tribe. Evidence comes after, as justification.Owen built his reputation on charisma work (his book The Charismatic Edge argued charisma is an impression you create, not something you're born with) before moving into belief and propaganda with his new book Inner Propaganda, out 4 August. In this conversation, he lays out his DELP model (an expansion of Aristotle's ethos, logos, pathos to include demos — understanding your specific audience), explains why intelligent, critical-thinking people are often the most convincing propagandists to themselves, and draws a sharp line between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda that every speaker standing on a stage should sit with.We also get into why spontaneous, unscripted delivery reads as more truthful than polished delivery (with Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" as the example), and why AI's tendency to flatter you is quietly making this problem worse, not better.In this episode:Why charisma is built, not innate, and why it matters more now than when Owen wrote The Charismatic Edge in 2013The DELP model: demos, ethos, logos, pathosWhy perceived authenticity beats actual authenticity, and why spontaneity reads as truthWhy critical thinking doesn't protect you from bad beliefs (argumentation vs investigation)Motivated reasoning, naive realism, and sacred values: why smart people hold ridiculous beliefsThe difference between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda, and why every speaker is, to a degree, a propagandistOwen's practical tools: the belief audit, the feels right/fits in/makes sense framework, and E-Prime languageConnect with Owen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/owenfitzp/The book and the special workshop are available at https://innerpropaganda.com, and you can discover more about Owen and his work at https://owenfitzpatrick.comFAQWhat is Owen Fitzpatrick's DELP model?The DELP model is Owen Fitzpatrick's expansion of Aristotle's rhetorical triad of ethos, logos and pathos. Owen adds demos, the requirement to understand the specific audience being addressed, alongside ethos (credibility and positioning), logos (logical structure and evidence) and pathos (emotional impact).What is Owen Fitzpatrick's book Inner Propaganda about?Inner Propaganda is Owen Fitzpatrick's book, to be released on 4th of August 2026, about how individuals generate their own propaganda internally through feelings, self-narratives and motivated reasoning. It argues that people convince themselves of beliefs the same way state propaganda convinces populations, through internal versions of state media, indoctrination and truth engineering.What is the difference between persuasion, manipulation and propaganda, according to Owen Fitzpatrick?Persuasion is the ethical attempt to change beliefs, attitudes or behaviour while genuinely caring about what the other person wants. Manipulation uses deception and serves only the persuader's own interests. Propaganda combines both, using every available tool of persuasion and manipulation to construct an entire reality for the audience.Why doesn't critical thinking protect people from believing false things?According to Owen Fitzpatrick, critical thinking and intelligence make people better at constructing airtight arguments (argumentation) rather than at genuinely investigating what is true (investigation). Motivated reasoning, a concept from psychologist Ziva Kunda, refers to people reasoning toward conclusions they already want to be true.What is naive realism?Naive realism is the belief that one's own perception of reality is objectively accurate and shared by anyone reasonable. Owen Fitzpatrick argues this prevents people from applying the same critical scrutiny to their own beliefs that they readily apply to beliefs they disagree with.What is E-Prime language and why does Owen Fitzpatrick use it?E-Prime is a form of English that eliminates the verb "to be," originally developed by David Bourland based on Alfred Korzybski's work on language and semantics. Owen Fitzpatrick uses it as a belief-flexibility tool: replacing "this is true" with "this seems true to me" builds in the possibility of revision.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI detectors, one of my personal favorite subjects to rant about. But Katie, before I foam at the mouth for 30 minutes, let’s have you foam at the mouth about it. Katie Robbert: It’s such an interesting topic and obviously very polarizing right now. AI detectors in a nutshell are meant to help someone determine whether or not AI was used in any kind of writing. Now our good friend Anne Hanley pointed out, oh sure. So these AI detectors that were trained on human authors’ writings without their consent are now meant to tell these people that they didn’t write the things that the model was trained on. I’m paraphrasing, but it was basically that was the gist. And last week when we published the weekly Inbox Insights newsletter, we had a reader provide some very unpleasant feedback. This reader felt, in their opinion, that they had determined that the post I had written about “if you don’t know what AI can do, just ask it” was completely written by AI and that I should be fired. That I was lying about the use of AI in terms of it wrote it for me, that it was AI slop, that this person was going to write their own blog post about how I, the CEO of a company called Trust Insights, can’t be trusted. So that was the feedback this person had for my contribution to the newsletter last week. This week, if you subscribe to Inbox Insights, I fully disclose my use of AI in writing the newsletter and writing in general. I’m going to give you a spoiler because there’s no secret. I write the newsletter myself. I then use various AI tools to hopefully clean it up. Because the feedback I got when I was in college in my creative writing class is that I write the way that I talk. And it’s kind of a stream of consciousness. Now, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten a little bit more concise and articulate, but that doesn’t mean my writing has. And so it still kind of comes out as a stream of consciousness, which I think for any writer that’s doing draft one is you just get it out. It’s why it’s called the ugly first draft, and then some people… I used to have John, our head of business development and our partner, read through and edit my posts for me. This was prior to having tools like Hemingway or AI editors. I had a human editing it. Now John’s busy making sales. He’s still happy to edit my posts, but it’s not the best use of his time. And so now I use a tool called Hemingway, which a lot of people use. Hemingway has a lot of really great features for grammar and sentence structure. I’m not trained, and I don’t have a degree in writing or English. My grammar is really bad sometimes. Sometimes I overuse passive voice. Sometimes my sentences aren’t structured well. It’s helpful to have a tool that can clean up the thing without losing the intent and sentiment of the writing. I also use our Ask the ICP skills in our cloud environment to make sure that the post that I’m writing resonates with our audience. Because if it doesn’t, why am I writing it? So I use those various tools. So the point of the newsletter this week that I dive into is, yes, I use AI to supplement and clean up my writing. No, AI does not write for me. I’ve got 10 fingers, one with a bandage, so it goes a little slower. And I type with my thumbs, typing very slowly. So sometimes I use an audio recording of me speaking something. Chris, this is something you do. But, yes, I painfully type all of my newsletters very slowly. And then AI helps me clean them up to be more concise. I don’t think that’s an uncommon practice, especially among people. This is true of, I think, Ann even posted in her newsletter this past week. Christopher S. Penn: Week. Katie Robbert: Total anarchy if you’re not subscribed. How she uses AI with her writing as well. And she said she gives it explicit instructions: read through it, review it, don’t edit anything, tell me what the edits are supposed to be. So she’s also someone who we know and love, who is a very fantastic writer, finding ways to use these tools to help enhance the writing. It can be cost prohibitive to have a human editor on your team. You may not have access to a copywriter, or you may not have a team of people who are really great at editing. There’s a lot of… So AI can fill that role for you. I’ll say it like this: I wrote the newsletter. AI helped me edit it, so it was coherent. So unfortunately for this reader, I will not be firing myself. I would appreciate you not trying to destroy my credibility, but should you choose to do so, we will deal with it at that time. Christopher S. Penn: I’m surprised you didn’t bring this up because this is the heart of the matter to me. If we think about these AI detectors, why are you using them? Why do you care? What is the purpose of an AI detector by the 5P Framework by Trust Insights? Of course. Katie Robbert: Well, the five P’s are in this week’s newsletter, so you can certainly get your healthy dose of the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. But you’re absolutely right, Chris, and that’s a miss on my part because I am human and not a sentient machine. I missed the mark on calling out that the 5P Framework by Trust Insights is a great place to start. Why are you using these AI tools? So, for me, my purpose is to edit the grammar and spelling of my content so that it’s coherent. I’m also checking with our ICP to make sure it resonates with the people I’m writing it for. But our ICP is the people part of it that really matters, because I’m not writing it for myself. I’m writing from my experience and my expertise, but I’m writing it for… For our ICP so that they get something educational out of it. I outlined my process in this week’s newsletter of how and when I use the tools and platforms. It depends. I might write it in a document, I might create an audio file, and then I’ll bring it into the large language model. I might use Hemingway. I definitely use the skills that we’ve created. And then the performance is, do I have a piece of content that I wrote and AI helped me edit that gets people to respond to the newsletter? Christopher S. Penn: It is the 5P Framework. From the perspective of the people who are using or advocating for AI detectors, what is their purpose? Because this is where I have the biggest problem I see. Yeah, no, no. From the AI detector perspective, what is your purpose in the case of this particular reader? Is your purpose just that you have a burr up your ass and you need to yell at somebody? Like, okay, you don’t need an AI detector for that. You can be a jackass. Regardless, in the case of its use in academia, the purpose is very often for academic integrity, which makes these tools very dangerous because of their false positive rate. Pangram, which is the tool that Substack most famously just implemented, has a false positive rate of 0.02 percent. If you fed every college student’s papers in America to it and said, run disciplinary proceedings, you would flag 200,000 students a year with false accusations. In the corporate world, if you’re using these tools to enforce contracts, again, that false positive rate—particularly for business-related content, which is what a lot of these tools have been trained on—is going to have a fairly high false positive rate. So the first thing people need to be very clear about is why are you using an AI detector? And is your purpose a good use of the technology? Spoiler, there really isn’t a great use of the technology for AI detection. And we’ll talk about why the technology itself is so flawed on this week’s live stream, which you can tune into Thursdays at 1 PM Eastern Time at TrustInsights.ai YouTube. But going back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights, my biggest issue with these tools is that very often the purpose people are using them for is deeply flawed. Katie Robbert: And that, you can sort of generalize and say that, well, people don’t want AI-written content. They want content written by a human. So you could say that’s the purpose. So if this particular reader decided, I don’t want AI-written content, but this content is written by AI, this particular reader could have just moved along. But they decided to try and pick a fight. By the way, screenshots last forever. And it was a very unprofessional feedback session from this person, just as an FYI. And you know, if this person decided, okay, I feel like this is written by AI, let me put it through the detector and determine if this is written by AI. They could have just said, you know what? I don’t care for this. I don’t want this. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s what I always come back to is like, if you don’t want this, great, here’s the door. It’s like if people complain, oh, well, you didn’t write this fiction novel the way I wanted, well, then write your own damn novel. Right? No one’s stopping you from writing the novel you want to read. If you didn’t like the way I did it, go write your own and you’ll probably use AI to do it. This was the rather harsh commentary I had about Substack. Things like, we don’t really care if it’s human-written or AI-written. We care if it’s worth reading, right? If you’re publishing something that’s worth reading, there’s one Substack I subscribe to that is 100 percent AI-written. No editing passes. It is 100 percent Claude. You know it’s Claude because of Claude’s particular mechanisms. And I don’t care because the information is genuinely useful. I read it and go, I learned something. I don’t care who wrote it. I learned something. Katie Robbert: But that’s you and I, and I don’t disagree. People should be looking at it from that lens. But a lot of the general population is still stuck in the, AI is bad. It’s very black and white. Humans are good, AI is bad, don’t give me AI-written content. And so that’s still the challenge that we’re trying to overcome in the conversation that we’re trying to change. And so if their purpose is, was it written by AI, yes or no, then that’s what we have to work with, because that’s their purpose, not ours. Our opinion of their purpose is very similar to this reader’s opinion of my use of AI. As the old saying goes, opinions are like… well, you can fill in the blanks if, I won’t say it on the podcast. It’s very rude. But the point being is that you do need to figure out why you care if it was written by AI or not. And then you can go ahead and determine, was it high quality? Did I learn something? Was it useful? And then go back to the purpose, like, does it matter if it was written by AI? Now it brings up the bigger conversation, which Chris and I have talked about: AI disclosures and why those are important. And so in your newsletter, you do a very good job every week of disclosing. Here’s how much of this is AI. Here’s how I used AI. And I want to say thank you to the person who called me out because it reminded me this is a good opportunity to start doing my own AI disclosures so that hopefully we don’t continue to find ourselves in the situation of being called names. Christopher S. Penn: And so you cannot rely on them. I will give you a very solid example this week in my personal newsletter. I said, It’s 90 percent written by human. There’s 10 percent written by Claude. And I mark the section: This is what Claude said. And then just for giggles, I put it through the detector. And it said, Congratulations, it’s 100 percent human. I’m like, well, you clearly missed the part where I labeled it this is AI. So anyway, just more ranting about the tooling. The disclosures are important. And I do understand from some perspectives. There are some folks who correctly say they have problems with the ethics of AI companies or the environmental impact of AI. Totally get that, totally fair, completely reasonable. But again, it goes back to what you were saying, which is if we label it—which we all, everyone should be doing—and you are still mad, go read something that isn’t. There is an infinite amount of content out there that’s video or audio. Where I do have a problem and I think is very relevant to the conversation on the topic of AI detection is when it is not labeled or when it is intended to deceive. There is no shortage, for example right now on Instagram and TikTok, of various politicians making faked videos and photos. And thankfully they’re not doing it very well. But, okay, clearly that’s not a… that doesn’t work. But they are. The intent is to deceive. So if we go back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights, their purpose is deception, right? And therein lies one of the valid reasons to want to use AI detectors to say, is this entity or person attempting to deceive me? Katie Robbert: I’m going to be, I’m going to challenge you on that for a second. Okay, so let’s say I’m a politician and I’m going to use AI. I can almost guarantee I’m not going to state that my purpose is deception. I’m going to state that my purpose is engagement, my purpose is attention. My purpose is oh gosh, anything probably except deception. So it’s interesting because like we can say as an outside observer, well, they’re trying to deceive us. They’re going to say with that lack of self-awareness, this is the way that I saw this thing happen. So, you know, I’m using the tools to reenact it or recreate the way that I see this. So it’s really an educational tool or whatever. So I do feel like it’s interesting that we’re saying their purpose is deception. They’re saying, no, that was never my purpose. Why would I ever want to deceive you? I’m totally honest. I’m showing you what’s possible. I’m showing you the way that I see things. Christopher S. Penn: And this gets us into the extremely deep and sticky morass known as AI ethics, which is again going back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. What is the purpose and is the purpose that you think you have aligned with the audience and the goals you’re trying to achieve? Because yes, attention can be a goal, but what’s the purpose behind that attention? Is it to garner more votes? Is it to beat the social media algorithms that are gatekeeping various viewpoints? What is the purpose of creating something that you know is not real? Katie Robbert: You are giving these fictional politicians a lot of credit for that deep thinking and self-awareness, but it does. You brought up AI ethics and Inbox Insights in the same issue this week coming up, where I talk about my process for using AI tools in my writing. You conclude a four-part series on responsible AI using our RAFT framework, and part four being transparency, which is really timely for what we’re talking about. One of the things that you bring up in that four-part series, and it’s brought up in a few of the different issues, is so companies whose mission statement is, and I’m paraphrasing—I apologize, Chris—something along the lines of companies who state out that they’re going to do bad things and they also are doing them, are technically following their own code of ethics. And so it’s the “do as I say, not as I do” or no, it’s the “here’s what: you do what you say and you say what you do, right?” So they do that. So therefore they are following a code of ethics. And that’s where, again, it gets really tricky. But I want to bring that up. Because responsible AI is not black and white. Ethics is not black and white. Christopher S. Penn: So no, and the reason for that is because ethics and morals are often conflated. They are different; they are completely different philosophical disciplines. But in the utilitarian ethics that a lot of the business world works on, “I do what I say and I say what I do” are essentially sort of the heart of that. So going back to the purpose of things like AI detectors, if you say this is real and it’s fake, that is unethical. If you say this is fake and it’s fake, that is ethical, right? It may or may not be moral. That is a different question because morals are based on the culture of the person and the culture that it occurs in. But from an ethics perspective, if I say this is fake and this is fake, I am behaving in an ethical manner. And so where this loops back around is to say, on the part of publishers and creators, we have an ethical obligation to be transparent and disclose. And on the part of AI detectors and the people using them, you have an obligation to be clear about what your purpose is. If your purpose is you just want to feel morally superior to someone else and you say that’s fine, you’re, I think you’re a jerk, but at least it’s clear. If you say that you’re trying to preserve the environment or what have you, but you really just want to feel morally superior, that is itself unethical because you’re not doing as you say and you’re not saying what you do. And so it is incumbent upon everybody using these tools in whatever capacity to disclose why you’re doing it and disclose how the results are going to be used. This is especially true for academia, for law, and for contracts. You have to be clear and say, we are using these tools for this purpose. And here is how we will measure the success of these tools. The performance, the fifth P in the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. You have to declare that, and if you don’t, yourself may have an ethics problem. Katie Robbert: I recently submitted an academic paper, and it was very clear in the instructions that I had to do a very large AI disclosure section on how AI was used to assemble the paper. And in that paper, if I recall correctly, I used AI to do the deep research. I then culled through the deep research to find the relevant parts for writing the paper for which I had a hypothesis. I drafted the paper. I used AI to help me clean up the paper and make it a more coherent story. And then I had to create two images, a graph and another supplemental image, and disclose what parts I used AI on. Here’s the question, though. So back to where we started, what do you do in the situation where you, the human, created the thing the detectors say, no, you didn’t? It’s AI and everybody believes the machines and not you. Like that’s not a matter of ethics anymore. That’s your reputation. Christopher S. Penn: And therein lies the problem with a lot of these detectors. The detectors are pattern matching. And again, we’ll talk about the mathematics of it this week on the live stream. But fundamentally, they’re looking at probabilities. And so if what you are creating, which academic papers in particular have a very specific kind of language to them that is highly formulaic, a pattern matching system—even if it’s 100 percent human-written—is still likely to pick it up. The example I often give is there’s a quote from Star Wars, from The Empire Strikes Back, where Yoda says, “For 800 years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained.” Right? That’s Yoda. If you… if Yoda was to dictate that and then AI was to clean up the grammar, it would say, “I have trained Jedi for 800 years. I will keep my own council on who is to be trained.” Exact same words. AI’s just rearranging the word sequence, which dramatically changes the probabilities. And that second quote, which is still substantially the same as the first one, but with a different word order, will be flagged as AI or more likely be flagged as AI. Because in the process of editing, AI assembles things to the highest level of probability. And so for anybody, if you were doing that—as we often recommend—taking your phone out, doing a voice memo, and then having AI transcribe it and rearrange it, unless you know how to prompt it to preserve your word order, it’s going to change the language and it’s going to get flagged by AI. Even though you have proof from the voice memo itself that what you created was original. So a big part of what creators may want to think about, and this is the prescriptive part, is that I’ve actually talked about this with our friend Carrie Gorgon, who’s a lawyer. You may want to have a system where you preserve or even publish the work product that led to the final work product. I have done this with several of my books now where I publish the absolutely awful-to-listen-to voice recordings, like as I’m driving down the road. And you know, that’s usually in the deluxe edition, if you want to hear me yelling at people in traffic like, get out of the way, jackass. As part of the recordings, you can. But it also provides that provenance and lineage to say, here’s what the final product was manipulated by AI. Yes, here’s the original work product that proves that it’s a human original. Katie Robbert: But I think that also goes back to again, where we started. And you know, the commentary we referenced from Ann is that these tools are word prediction machines that have been trained on human words. We are the ones who taught it. Here are the predictable patterns that we use when we write and when we speak. Therefore, these machines, well or not well, are mimicking the way that we talk and the way that we write. Therefore, those AI detectors are detecting patterns that we taught as humans on our writing. Like it’s very… I feel like you go round and round forever. But the point being is that these tools are dangerous and can be very damaging if used incorrectly, which most people… Are using them incorrectly because they have the wrong purpose. Right? So if their purpose is to, I am angry and want to lash out at the world and I want to tear someone down today, congratulations. You are accomplishing your purpose with your performance. If your purpose, yeah, if your purpose is to like really just understand, then you know it’s going to be a while before these tools get more sophisticated. They’re not very good. Christopher S. Penn: No. And they never will because they’re always going to be reactive to whatever the latest models are capable of doing. It’s interesting. This actually inspires me as part of our upcoming AI for Writers course that we’re assembling for the Trust Insights Academy. But also maybe something that we should include is a skill that can assist people in creating stuff that sounds more like their human version. There are deterministic measures to do that, and maybe we’ll talk about that a little bit on the live stream as well. But if you’ve got some thoughts about AI detectors and their use or misuse, and you want to share them or your own experiences of dealing with them, post in our Free Slack Group.

Most people think subconscious reprogramming starts with a dramatic breakthrough. Mine started with the colour yellow.When I was 21 I was in the pits. Bottom of my list stage school, being told I was too fat, dating boys who wrecked my mental health, and on antidepressants. Then a coach gave me one strange instruction. Notice the colour yellow. She never told me why. Within days I saw yellow everywhere, and something in me started to shift.I had no clue that one sentence would send me down a rabbit hole of subconscious mind work, NLP and hypnotherapy, or that it would become my career for nearly 8 years. Today, I'm taking you through the 3 moments that made me absolutely obsessed with subconscious reprogramming. Now, let me take you back.Topics covered on Subconscious Reprogramming:The biggest shift in your subconscious reprogramming might come from something as ordinary as a colourHow these NLP techniques completely changed the way I read human behaviourWhy two people can live the exact same moment and walk away with opposite memories of itWhat my clients say to me after a session that I could never sell you on, no matter how good my marketing isConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeThe Subconscious Institute

Most coaches don't struggle because they lack knowledge or passion. They struggle because they never build a sales system that consistently brings in high-quality clients. Instead, they bounce from one marketing tactic to the next, hoping the latest strategy will finally unlock predictable growth.The reality is that there are only a handful of coaching business models that have repeatedly proven they can scale to $50,000 a month and beyond. Once you understand how these funnels work, you can stop chasing shiny objects and start improving a system that delivers results month after month.In this episode, we'll break down three of the most effective coaching funnels, explain how each one works, and help you decide which is the best fit for your business.Useful Episode ResourcesFREE list of the top 10 books to improve your email marketingIf you want to write better emails, come up with better content, and move your readers to click and buy, here's how.

This episode of CFO at Home is part 1 of Vince·s conversation with Heidi Heron, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner with 25+ years of experience, about how the ·language of the mind· creates patterns of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors·and how those patterns can be changed through root-cause work. Heidi connects NLP to money issues that commonly come up in her work, like worthiness, lack and limitation, and relationship dynamics around finances. She shares examples of a successful day trader who couldn·t keep money due to an unconscious childhood message, and a woman who shifted a belief that money is hard to get after tracing it back to an overheard conversation. Heidi also explains what she means by ·money as energy,· describing how gratitude for both paying and receiving money helped transform her own relationship with it.

Abhinav Jindal is a Director in his family's hospitality group in India, which owns the Jim Corbett Marriott Resort & Spa, and the founder of Cydir, a coaching practice for second-generation entrepreneurs. He joined the family business in 2017 straight out of university, took over a 43-room resort with more than 70 staff, and went on to grow sales by around 30% and help bring a new flagship property online, now one of the highest-rated resorts in the group's Marriott portfolio. A certified NLP master practitioner, Abhinav works with next-generation leaders to resolve the emotional patterns, guilt, identity, and approval-seeking, that governance structures alone can't fix. He is known for arguing that most family business conflict is not about strategy or money, but about who people believe they are.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, Jonathan Goldhill is joined by Abhinav Jindal, Director in his family's hospitality group in India and founder of the coaching practice Cydir, to explore why family business succession so often fails even when the governance is done right.Abhinav challenges the idea that org charts, buy-sell agreements, and succession structures are enough. He argues they collapse when the emotions underneath go unresolved, and traces his own path from a father's blunt challenge about whether he could land a job, to running a resort at 19, to realizing his hunger for achievement was really a hunger for fulfilment.The conversation dives into the two-way authority a founder must give up, why "he doesn't listen to me" is usually not about the parent, the guilt and identity crises that quietly trap next-generation leaders, and how emotional patterns formed in childhood run a business decades later.Whether you're a founder, successor, or next-generation leader, this episode offers a candid look at the inner work that structure alone can't replace.KEY TAKEAWAYSAbhinav argues that governance structures fail when emotions go unaddressed. Org charts and buy-sell agreements matter, but they won't hold if the family has never had the conversation underneath them.For founders, the business is not part of their identity, it is their identity. Handing over control is not a risk calculation but the loss of a sense of self, which is why the surface argument is never the real one.Succession stalls on emotion, not strategy. Two people can both know a decision is right and still refuse to agree, because the real conflict is about being heard, not about the business.QUOTES"When our emotions are not resolved, those governance structures won't hold in place.""For most people the business does not become a part of their identity, but their identity itself.""If not for this business, who will I be now?""The biggest one is guilt. Guilt of not doing enough."Connect and learn more about Abhinav Jindal.https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhinavjindal47/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

The fastest way to kill creative flow is to turn art into an identity you have to defend. Nathan sits down with special guest host Michael Gazzo (@Michaelvgazzo), a coach, rebirth breathwork facilitator, master NLP practitioner, and platinum-selling music producer, to talk about what happens when external success still leaves you empty and what it takes to create from a more honest place.We trace Michael's path from childhood music obsession to major-label moments, touring, and high-pressure industry wins and then into the quieter work of rebuilding from the inside. Along the way, we unpack why curiosity and play create the “happy accidents” that make work feel alive, and why creative block often isn't a lack of talent but a nervous system and heart issue. If you've felt stuck in perfectionism, overthinking, or the need to make something that “works,” this conversation offers a different frame: become a better receiver first.We also get practical. We talk breathwork as a tool for regulation and deeper emotional release, how to redirect spiraling thoughts without bypassing your real feelings, and how journaling can become a direct dialogue with the work itself. Finally, we break down intention setting, focusing on a cleaner why, avoiding negative motivators that burn out fast, and serving the art instead of using the art to chase approval.If this resonates, subscribe for more conversations on creativity and the inner life, share this with a friend who's blocked, and leave a review so more artists can find the show.Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast   @tynathanclark   @nathanterborgWatch the Video Episode on Youtube or Spotify,https://www.youtube.com/@JustMakeArtPodcastSend us a message - we would love to hear from you!

Send us Fan Mail⚔️ What if success isn't about finding yourself… but creating yourself?In this powerful episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with executive coach, martial artist, NLP expert, and Swords of Illumination author David C. Olcott for a deep conversation on identity, subconscious programming, presence, fulfillment, leadership, and what it truly means to live with purpose.From growing up in the Florida Keys and diving at age 12 to working in politics, luxury real estate, and alongside Tony Robbins, David shares how life experiences shaped his philosophy around congruence, intentionality, and self-mastery.The conversation explores why many successful people still feel empty, how subconscious beliefs shape our lives, the danger of living from ego, and why being fully present may be the greatest competitive advantage in business and life.

It's our first in-studio podcast! Be sure to watch the version on the Euphoric youtube channel.  Jessa Frances De La Rosa accidentally became one of the first alcohol-free beverage consultants in the country, helped launch one of the first non-alcoholic bottle shops in the South, and built an entire career out of weaving together things that didn't obviously belong together, until they did. She's also a trauma-informed memoir writing coach, a shadow work practitioner, and someone whose story involves a divorce after 14 years, three kids, prior military service, a master's degree in creative writing in Scotland, the pandemic shutting everything down while she was across the ocean for the first time away from her children, and eventually painting a wall on Task Rabbit that led to the job that changed her life.  We talk about what the alcohol-free beverage world actually looks like now versus what it looked like when both of us first started paying attention to it, what shadow work actually is and why Carl Jung's most famous line might be the most important sentence you've ever read, why memoir writing is the rawest form of shadow work there is, and why awareness alone doesn't create change, community does. We also get into writing, because Jessa helps women write memoirs and I'm in the middle of writing my second book, and there's a conversation in here about resistance, accountability, and what it actually takes to write the thing your soul is calling you to write that I think every aspiring author in this community needs to hear.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What an alcohol-free beverage consultant actually is and how Jessa invented the role from scratch What walking into a non-alcoholic bottle shop in Charleston looked like when it first opened, and what it tells us about how far we still have to go with education Why mocktails with a bunch of sugar and a paper umbrella are missing the point entirely Carl Jung's famous line on the unconscious and why it applies directly to every complicated relationship with alcohol What shadow work actually is, the difference between awareness and integration, and why awareness alone can actually make things worse temporarily Why memoir writing takes you deeper than journaling ever could, and what it means to write as the child, the adult, and the witness simultaneously The childhood associations we form around alcohol before we ever take a single sip Rapid fire: the best alcohol-free drink she's ever tasted, the one book every aspiring memoir writer should read, and what her shadow would be in one word   Find Jessa at jessafrancis on Instagram, thecaimcircle.com, or getuntoxicated.com Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Send us Fan MailYour healing might not be stuck. Your programming might be loyal. We sit down with Marvin L. Wilkerson, a spiritual astrologer, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and author of *Soul Fusion Healing: Integrating Mind, Body, and Soul*, to talk about the hidden patterns that shape how we love, react, cope, and even hurt. If you've ever felt like you “know better” but still repeat the same cycle, Marvin explains why the subconscious mind can keep running an old script long after the conscious mind has moved on.We dig into somatic healing and the mind body connection, including how stress signals travel through the gut brain and vagus nerve, why symptoms can carry emotional meaning, and why labels can become identity traps. Marvin breaks down a key idea for mindset and wellness: the subconscious doesn't process negatives the way we think it does, so common self-talk can accidentally reinforce the very problem we're trying to escape. That's where hypnosis and neurological programming come in, helping bypass resistance and create new neural pathways that feel easier and more aligned.From there, we explore soul fragmentation, epigenetics, and ancestral emotional programming, plus how spiritual astrology can be used as a tool for awareness instead of a limitation. Marvin also shares a practical NLP exercise, the Circle of Excellence, to rebuild self-worth using real moments of success you've lived, not affirmations you don't believe yet.If you're ready to stop outsourcing your power and start testing truth in your own gut, press play.

Most of us don't just need to know our patterns. We need to break them.Annabel Wilson joins Matt for a conversation on the inner architecture of conscious leadership: why the root of misalignment lives in the subconscious, how a "science meets soul" approach reaches it, and what changes when you stop managing symptoms and start recalibrating at the source. Along the way they get into stress as the hidden root of dis-ease, the difference between comfort and growth, and what it takes to lead from overflow instead of scarcity.Annabel is the founder of Boundless Living Academy, an AI-powered transformational well-being platform for purpose-driven leaders, and an ICF PCC, psychology-based, Master Life and NLP-certified coach with 19 years of inner work and 25 years in global business.If it speaks to you, follow The Alchemist Archive and share it forward.

"The assumption of swift trust is really useful."Teams don't always need years to build trust—they need the right conditions to build it quickly. As a Stanford professor and expert in organizational design, Melissa Valentine studies how communication, team structure, and emerging technologies help people collaborate more effectively. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Valentine joins Matt Abrahams to explore how leaders can foster swift trust, adapt communication as teams move from brainstorming to execution, and use storytelling to drive meaningful change. Together, they share practical strategies for building stronger teams and navigating collaboration in an AI-enabled workplace.Key Takeaways:Build trust from the start. High-performing teams assume competence, communicate openly, and address miscommunication quickly.Adapt your communication to the task. Encourage diverse thinking during brainstorming, then align your language as the team moves toward execution.Activity:Practice swift trust. In your next project with a new colleague or team, begin by assuming competence and shared intent. Delegate one meaningful responsibility early, communicate clear expectations, and reflect afterward on how starting from trust influenced the team's collaboration and results.Episode Reference Links:Melissa ValentineMelissa's Book: Flash TeamsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkEp.268 Going Viral: How To Balance Authenticity and Spectacle Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:57) - What Makes a Flash Team?
