Send me a some feedback!What if the only thing standing between you and the life you truly want is permission? In this episode, Mike Kitko explores one of the most profound realizations from his work with entrepreneurs, leaders, and high performers: the people who transform their lives aren't waiting for better circumstances—they finally give themselves permission to become, do, ask for, receive, and feel what they've wanted all along. Through powerful personal stories and client transformations, Mike explains why permission is the gateway to receiving. Whether it's building a dream business, feeling financially secure, expressing your authentic self, or asking for what you want, lasting change begins the moment you stop waiting for someone else's approval and start giving yourself permission. Key Takeaways1. Permission Is the Beginning of Receiving Receiving doesn't begin with circumstances changing—it begins with a decision. The moment you give yourself permission to want, ask for, receive, and feel what you truly desire, your life begins to change. 2. Most People Are Waiting for Permission They Already Have Whether it's starting a business, changing careers, speaking up, or pursuing a dream, many people remain stuck because they're waiting for someone else to validate what only they can authorize. 3. Your Nervous System Will Resist Growth Growth feels uncomfortable because your nervous system prefers what's familiar. Learning to move through that discomfort is part of becoming more receptive to life. 4. Receiving Includes More Than Money Receiving means allowing yourself to experience confidence, fulfillment, peace, security, significance, love, and every other internal state you've been postponing until "someday." 5. You Become Free the Moment You Stop Waiting You don't need permission from your parents, your boss, your spouse, society, or anyone else. The freedom you've been searching for begins the moment you give yourself permission. Notable Quotes"You don't need permission to be who you want to be, to do what you want to do, to want what you want, to ask for what you want, to receive what you want, or even to feel what you'd rather feel. The only permission you've ever truly needed is your own.""I didn't build Melanie's business. I didn't build Corey's business. I didn't build Matt's business. They did all the work. What I gave them was permission—the permission they wouldn't give themselves—and that became the spark that changed everything.""Receiving starts with one single decision, and that's to give yourself permission to want what you want, ask for what you want, receive what you want, feel what you want, be who you want, and do what you want. It all begins with permission.""Sometimes the greatest act of receiving is giving yourself permission to ask for what you want. I don't need anyone else's permission to invite someone into my work—I only need to give myself permission to be on the receiving end of life.""If you do need permission, then consider this your permission to be who you want, do what you want, want what you want, ask for what you want, receive what you want, and most importantly, feel what you want. Why would you settle for anything less?"Call to ActionIf this episode challenged the way you've thought about permission, spend a few moments reflecting on where you've been waiting for someone else to approve the life you already know you're meant to live. Where have you been withholding permission from yourself? What would change if you simply decided that today was the day you gave it to yourself?If you're ready to stop waiting and finally become fully receptive to the life that's calling you, join Mike for the Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri.

“Send Coach John a message”I saw a gentle and small reminder that I think we all take for granted a lot during life. It comes from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) who is the author of a couple of great books that I read and I think it would be great if you connected with both of them at some point - “Raise Your Game” and “Sustain Your Game”. His quote is this: “One decision can change the course of your entire life. The power to choose is our greatest gift.” I've heard that a few times that our greatest gift we have (and it could be one of a few), is that of choice. I think it's worth it for us to keep working on our choices in life. It's our thinking. Our actions. Our habits. Our words. There's many things that we get to choose throughout life. One thing for sure I know I can keep getting better with the choices I make AND I know I need to do that for sure. Thanks for listening.

When Nicola first reached out to me, she said she needed help to lose weight. What she didn't realise was that this journey would change far more than her body. In this episode, Nicola shares her story with complete honesty. From the years of starting over, losing confidence, and feeling trapped in the same cycle, to finally finding an approach that didn't just help her lose weight, but helped her build a completely different life. We talk about what was really keeping her stuck, the biggest mindset shifts she experienced, and why this time felt different from every other attempt before it. But this conversation goes far beyond health and fitness. Since starting coaching, Nicola hasn't just transformed her relationship with food and exercise. She's built lifelong friendships, travelled abroad with us on retreats, stepped outside her comfort zone, and made one of the biggest decisions of her life, leaving a successful career as a Cardiology Specialist Nurse to retrain as a Personal Trainer. This episode is a reminder that when you start changing one area of your life, it often gives you the courage to change others too. If you've ever felt stuck, convinced you've tried everything, or wondered whether lasting change is really possible, I hope Nicola's story reminds you that you're not broken. Sometimes the life you're searching for begins with one decision to finally invest in yourself.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, consultants, and business owners who know their personal brand can be stronger, but have been overthinking, dabbling, or waiting for the perfect moment to take it seriously.

“If your law school experience was anything like mine, chances are they taught you nothing in law school about the business of how to manage a law firm.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers Sometimes the right book arrives at the right moment. For estate planning attorney Colleen Robinson, Profit First for Lawyers arrived in the mail just as she was in the midst of looking for solutions. She didn’t know what was missing, only that there must be a better way to run a law firm that would give her the clarity, control, and future she wanted. In this episode, Colleen shares how one unexpected gift became the catalyst for a completely different way of thinking about running a law firm. She didn’t just read the book from cover to cover. She acted on what she learned. Each step created forward momentum, ultimately changing her business model and implementing Profit First. Throughout this process, she was able to significantly increase her firm’s revenue while redefining what profit means for her and her family. One Decision Led to the Next Colleen began by learning the Seven Main Parts of Every Successful Law Firm and writing her first business plan. Working with her CEO helped clarify her vision for a business that aligned with her personal, professional, and financial definition of profit. Along the way, she discovered that running a successful law firm wasn’t simply about practicing law better. It was about intentionally building a better business. Profit Changed More Than the Numbers Implementing Profit First changed more than Colleen’s finances. It changed the way she experiences business ownership. Instead of worrying about unexpected tax bills, she sets those funds aside before they’re due. More importantly, she has redefined profit to include time with her family, flexibility in her schedule, and the Total Owner Benefit her business provides. Now the business she is building reflects the life she wants to live, not the other way around. Colleen’s transformative journey began with a book in the mail and a willingness to learn, the courage to act, and the discipline to keep moving forward one decision at a time. Action Steps Complete an honest assessment of why you started your law firm and define what success looks like for you. Create or revisit your business plan with your long-term personal and business goals in mind. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to implement Profit First, start small and begin today.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Kouri Richins defense did real damage on cross-examination — and still lost on every count. This look back, with defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, examines a strategy that exposed genuine weaknesses in the state's case and asks why it wasn't enough.The cracks were there. The jury saw video of investigators pressing the prosecution's central witness, housekeeper Carmen Lauber, for details that would help convict — before her account changed. The lead detective confirmed that four years of investigation produced no fentanyl physically connected to Eric's death. Lauber's credibility was hammered on cross, and her drug-court violations came out mid-trial. The defense rested without calling a single witness, betting it had already built enough doubt through the state's own people.Motta walks through the strategy and the execution, and isolates the one decision he believes may have tipped it. Dreeke breaks down the behavioral side — how a jury weighs a thin physical case against an overwhelming motive narrative, and why the absence of a murder weapon didn't create the doubt the defense needed. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. This is a clear-eyed autopsy of a defense that found the gaps and still couldn't get through them. Richins has maintained her innocence and indicated she will appeal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

President Donald Trump has continued his pressure campaign on European defense spending. But in the lead-up to the next NATO Summit, there is another core question to ask: How is Europe coordinating its defense production? This might be the key issue that determines how Trump's pressure campaign pays off in the long run. Kate McCann and Sir Richard Dearlove are joined by Ambassador Julianne Smith (Former United States Permanent Representative to NATO under President Biden) and A. Wess Mitchell, Ph.D. (former senior State Department official who helped shape the first Trump administration's Europe strategy) to break down what's really at stake in Ankara. Plus: Should NATO stay laser-focused on Russia and leave China to the U.S.? How deep is the lingering trust deficit after the Greenland dispute? Got a question or comment?

What if the "big decision" you're losing sleep over isn't actually the one that changes your life? Sometimes it feels like every choice is a "forever" decision... a high stakes game of choosing what's behind Door #1 or Door #2. But instead of stressing, overanalyzing, and freezing... what if we could tether ourselves to the reality that life isn't built on the "big choices." It's the daily micro-decisions that run the show. I'm pulling back the curtain on the move that changed everything for me... from a scary "burning it all down" moment to getting a corporate-funded relocation that was more than I even dared to ask for. Let go of the pressure to be perfect and see how sometimes taking one step forward is the ultimate answer.

We talk about what intuition actually is (and why Laura believes it's far more practical than most people think), how she discovered her abilities, and the surprising ways intuition can help us navigate love, business, health, creativity, and everyday life. Laura shares stories from her extraordinary career, her deeply challenging childhood, and the lessons that shaped her newest book, The Prism.

Productized Services: The Hourly Trap Debunked | Pi & Piette 2.0 | Business Conversations Episode Summary: Is charging by the hour slowly killing your business before it even starts? In this episode of Business Conversations with Pi and Piette 2.0, AI voices PI and Piette tackle one of the most critical decisions every founder faces: should you charge hourly or package your skills into a productized service from day one? Spoiler — the data says ditch the hourly model immediately. Drawing from John Warrillow's Built to Sell, Paul Jarvis' Company of One, a Journal of Business Research academic paper, and a raw interview with agency founder Brad Martin, this episode gives you a complete roadmap for building a service business that generates predictable revenue, eliminates scope creep, and ultimately doesn't need you in the room to run.

In July 2013, I got suspended from my teaching job. At the time, it felt like my world was falling apart. I was separated from my wife, living in two houses, barely keeping myself alive, and earning £23,000 a year after leaving the Royal Marines as a Sergeant. And then I got suspended — for using the college's printer. In this episode, I share the full story of the one decision that changed the entire direction of my life. And the message is simple: whatever life you are living right now does not have to be the life you stay with. Inside this episode: •How I went from Royal Marines Sergeant to college teacher to suspended — in two years •The moment I sat at my desk and thought "this cannot be my life for the next 30 years" •The one decision that changed everything — and why I almost did not take it •What it feels like to walk out of a job with no plan, no business knowledge, and no idea what comes next •How I started with two fitness classes, six PT clients, and money borrowed from my mum •Why most men stay in lives they hate because they are too scared to make the move •The man running an eight-figure business who could not find ten minutes to take a call about himself •Where could you be in five years if you made the decision today? Anything is possible. But only if you make the decision.

The first spies saw Eretz Yisrael and collapsed into fear, but Yehoshua's spies entered Yericho and came back protected. Why were they sent in the disguise of kli cheres, plain pottery vessels with no real value beyond what they carry? Rabbi Prisman follows the Sfas Emes into a sharp question about mitzvos, motives, and the quiet danger of bringing your own agenda into Hashem's mission. And when a Shayetet 13 candidate stops in the water to put on tefillin, the idea suddenly becomes very real. What protection does a person find when he is willing to become only the vessel?
Leaders make lots of key decisions—but one decision can be the separator between leadership that sustains and leadership that thrives. In this week's episode, John reveals how the choice to be intentional transforms good leaders into great ones and empowers you to make a real difference. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow unpack the practical steps you can take to apply these principles in your own leadership. Key takeaways: Generational greatness demands intentional actions, a growth mindset, and a commitment to serving others. The best leaders shine their light in the darkest times by focusing on solutions and courageously solving problems rather than cursing the darkness. Daily disciplines, consistency, and a focus on adding value to people are what make a powerful leadership legacy possible.

What if the hardest season of your life is actually the doorway to becoming the strongest version of yourself you've ever met? In this conversation with Ken Rideout, I sat across from a man who has lived more lives than most people ever will. From growing up in chaos and addiction, to becoming a Wall Street trader, to falling deep into opioid addiction, and then rebuilding himself into one of the fastest marathon runners in the world over 50 years old. His story is not just about winning races. It is about becoming someone you can respect when no one else is watching. We got real about what it actually feels like to win. Not the highlight reel version, but the truth. Ken said something that stopped me in my tracks. Winning is not the explosion of joy people expect. It is relief. It is the quiet moment where you realize you endured something most people would have quit on. That hit me because it is exactly how success has felt in my own life too. We also went deep into identity. How do you build belief in yourself when you were not raised with it? Ken opened up about going from confidence as a kid, to losing himself in addiction, to rebuilding his identity through effort. Not talent. Not luck. Effort. He made it clear that the biggest lie people believe is that they have limits. That belief alone is what keeps most people stuck living a life far below what they are capable of. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is how his entire life changed from one decision. Getting sober. That single decision led him to running, which led him to discovering a level of greatness he never knew existed inside him. It is a reminder that you are one decision away from a completely different life. You do not need the whole plan. You just need to start. This episode is for you if you feel stuck, if you are battling something internally, or if you know deep down you are capable of more but have not tapped into it yet. Ken Rideout is living proof that your past does not define you. Your decisions do. Key Takeaways: Why winning rarely feels the way you expect and why relief is often the real reward The lie most people believe about their limitations and how it keeps them stuck How one decision can completely redirect the trajectory of your life Why effort will always outperform talent when sustained over time The difference between quitting and pushing through and how to know which is which How to rebuild your identity when you have lost belief in yourself Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at https://shopify.com/mylett

With Ayatollah Khamenei's demise occurring hours into the war, the West anticipated a collapse of the Iranian regime and a popular uprising that never came to be. Is a ‘memorandum of understanding' the only thing preventing total escalation in the region? In this episode of One Decision, former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove and co-host journalist Kate McCann sit down with John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence for the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), to analyze the ripple effects of the war in Iran and what it will take to stabilize the Middle East. What is keeping a comprehensive peace deal off the table? How did Western intelligence miscalculate the IRGC's resilience? And where does this leave the rest of the Middle East? We also break down China's pledge to support Cuba's sovereignty, the 75th anniversary of the Cambridge Five espionage scandal, and the latest in the war in Ukraine, including China's role in training Russian soldiers and the opening of a museum in North Korea that memorializes the North Korean losses in the war.

Are you trying to launch your AI initiatives from a messy lot instead of a launchpad?Most companies aren't struggling with AI integration, budgets, timelines, and activations because the technology is bad.They're struggling because the foundation underneath the technology is a hot mess. Their business foundation.In this episode, Dawn Andrews breaks down the invisible reason so many AI initiatives stall out after the demos, strategy meetings, and expensive vendor calls. Spoiler alert? The problem usually isn't the AI platform. It's the messy systems, undocumented workflows, scattered data, and unclear decision-making hiding underneath it all.This episode is your velvet-boot wake-up call if you're a founder or executive thinking:“Why are we spending all this money, and nothing is actually changing?”Because the rockets aren't the problem.

95 percent of global internet traffic travels through underwater fiber optic cables. They've never been more vulnerable. In this episode of One Decision, former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove and guest co-host Rosanna Lockwood are joined by journalist and author Samanth Subramanian.

Subramanian's book, The Web Beneath the Waves, is an investigation Iran is threatening to levy tolls on cables running through the Strait of Hormuz.

Most podcasters spread themselves too thin and wonder why nothing compounds. Ross Stockdale spent six years building 30,000 downloads across three different shows. Then he made one decision, went all in on The Thunder Stock Show, and hit nearly 400,000 downloads in nine months. A former MMA cage fighter turned fractional CMO, Ross treats podcasting the way he trained for fights: every rep builds on the last one. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Ross shares Russell Brunson's advice to ignore analytics for the first 100 episodes, why he monetizes through guest referrals instead of sponsors, the three-stage growth framework that removed his mental fatigue, and the personal loss that taught him when to cancel a recording instead of forcing it. He also explains how podcasting can 40x a business's online presence without expensive production, and why pattern recognition matters more than natural talent for long-term growth.

Richard Allen's appeal is fully briefed. The reply brief landed at the end of April. The motion for oral arguments was filed behind it. The State of Indiana has not joined that motion. Three judges at the Indiana Court of Appeals are now reading the full record with no further paper coming.This is the procedural posture that determines whether the Delphi conviction survives. Not a press conference. Not a public statement. Three judges, the written record, and a decision waiting to be made.The defense is asking to be in the room. The State would clearly rather the panel decide on paper alone. That is the first signal. The second is the de novo review on the search warrant — the one issue in the appeal where the appellate panel owes no deference to Judge Fran Gull, and where a ruling against the State would erase the .40-caliber pistol from this case and any retrial forever.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for Part Three of a three-part panel on the Delphi appeal. They walk through the strategic geometry of a fully briefed case. They examine what it means that Richard Allen is sitting in an Oklahoma prison for safekeeping while three judges in Indianapolis read the record that put him there. They sit with the forced choice in front of the panel — rule narrowly and let the State retry the case with all of its evidence intact, or rule broadly on the warrant and take the State's strongest piece of physical evidence off the board forever.Three judges. No more paper. A decision waiting to happen. This is the room where Delphi gets decided.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She helped advisors make the move for two decades. Then she had to make it herself. A headhunter called. Shannon said she would do a five minute call just to give a name. Several months later she was the new president of Ozark. This is not a story about being unhappy. Shannon loved Raymond James, still does and is still a shareholder. This is a story about a harder kind of decision: the one where everything is fine and something still pulls you toward more. The turning point came from advice she had already given her own daughter. Kaylee got into the Naval Academy while her friends headed to Florida State. Shannon told her: if you don't try this, you will be my age wondering what if. That same question came back when she was sitting with her own decision about Ozark. Now she is leading a firm that calls itself a four billion dollar startup. Ozark completed its Journey to One consolidation last summer, meaning it has only operated as a single unified firm for nine months. It is multicustodial, working with BNY, NFS, Schwab, and Investnet. And it is building a platform it describes as adaptable, designed to put new tools in front of advisors fast, including AI tools already in use across the firm. Frank and Shannon also get into what AI actually means for advisors. Not that it will replace them, but that advisors who use AI will pull ahead of those who do not. The advisor of the future will manage AI the way today's advisor manages a team of managers. And the thing that will matter most in that world is the one thing AI still cannot replicate: a real human being picking up the phone. Questions answered in this episode include: How do you walk away from a firm you genuinely love after 22 years? What is the mental exercise that helped Shannon finally decide to join Ozark? Why did Ozark describe itself as a four billion dollar startup? What does multicustodial really mean for an advisor trying to grow their practice? How is AI changing the day to day work of a financial advisor? Will AI replace financial advisors? What does it look like for a firm to build a platform for the future rather than just the present?
