What if the kids who look like they're doing just fine on the outside are quietly struggling to make sense of what's happening on the inside?Ross Szabo is one of the leading voices in youth mental health education: founding Wellness Director at Geffen Academy at UCLA, founder of the Human Power Project, co-author of Behind Happy Faces, and author of A Kids Book About Anxiety. His story starts long before the titles. Born into a family with severe mental health disorders and addiction, Ross was 11 when he visited his older brother in a psychiatric ward, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder himself at 16, and coped with drinking that began at age 12. In his senior year of high school, after months of crippling depression, he attempted to take his own life… and this occurred while serving as class president, playing varsity basketball, and carrying a high GPA. On the outside, everything looked fine. The inside was a different story. That distance between the outside and the inside became the through line of his life's work.The idea Ross has organized his career around sounds simple: treat mental health the same way we treat physical health. That means a clear definition, a shared language, and trainable skills. His definition is a helpful place to start… mental health is not about having a problem, it's how you address the different challenges in your life. At Geffen Academy, he built what he describes as the only program in the country where students learn about mental health and healthy relationships once a week, every week, from grade six through grade 12, timed to the second largest period of brain growth, which happens between the ages of 12 to 25. His graduates report feeling far more prepared for college than their peers, especially in the interpersonal sense: living with new roommates, managing relationships, and knowing how to ask for support.Ross and Mike walk through how mapping the self-defining memories that shaped you helps build coping mechanisms the way athletes build skills (the more consistently you do something, the better you get at it). And they discuss how expanding your emotional vocabulary improves your mental health. Ross and Mike dive into the difference between vulnerability and trauma dumping, how the crisis shows up differently in young men and young women, why modeling beats lecturing at home, and what a shared language for mental health could unlock in families, schools, and businesses.In this conversation, we explore:Why so many young people look fine on the outside while struggling on the insideA clear, working definition of mental health, and why most of us don't have oneThe difference between feeling nervous and having anxietyWhy the more words you have for your feelings, the better your mental healthThe neuroscience of coping, and how to actually rewire a habitHow the youth mental health crisis shows up differently in young men and young womenWhat parents overlook when preparing kids for collegeWhy every family, team, and business needs a shared language for mental healthRoss's work is an invitation to care for the mind with the same clarity we bring to the body. And if you're raising, teaching, or leading young people, this conversation offers the language and the skills to close the gap between the outside and the inside.Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XRoss Szabo's Books: Behind Happy Faces (co-authored) and A Kids Book About AnxietySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let me say it loud for the people in the back. Services are the fastest path to cash, and they always will be. I will die on that hill.In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Fine, a longtime student and Strategist Society member who has been through every phase of business. She started during the pandemic, shut it down for a dream job at Coca-Cola, got discriminated against for being a mom, had her second baby, and relaunched with one goal: pick her son up from kindergarten every single day.She spent most of 2024 chasing the passive income dream and made $500. Then she went all in on services and finished 2025 at nearly $80,000, all while working a full-time job for eight months of the year. This is the real math on services versus digital products, and the framework that scales it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why digital products are never as passive as you were sold, and the two things you need before you build oneThe exact moment services beat a course (and the $500 vs $80K math behind it)The Strategist Trifecta: how to scale past your retainer ceiling without adding hoursHow Samantha signed a new client almost every month at $3K retainers and a $5K ads intensiveWhy being willing to ask questions and be vulnerable is the real growth hackThe discovery call teardown that taught the whole room where deals get lostWhy your business is not your hobby, and the "choose your hard" mindset that changes everythingMentioned in this episode:Strategist Society (apply if you are at $3K+/mo): https://thestrategistsociety.comConversions For Clients (start your ad management business): https://conversionsforclients.comReady to scale past $10K months?If you are already doing $3,000 or more with your service business and you want to be in the room with women like Samantha, head to thestrategistsociety.com and apply for a call.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:This episode is long overdue, and I know many of you have been waiting for it. Over the past two to three years, the conversations in our community have shifted. It used to be all about opiates and fentanyl. Now a huge number of our moms are watching their kids change right in front of them because of high-potency THC products, and it is happening fast. So I brought together three people with very different vantage points on THC-induced psychosis and what it is doing to developing brains.First you'll hear from Lynne, a battle-tested mom from The Stream who is living this right now with her son. She shares what the early signs looked like in her home, what she wishes she had known, and the one shift that changed her conversations with him.Then I sat down with Dr. David Rowe, Director of Neuropsychology at United Assessment. He explains what psychosis actually looks like (it is rarely what you see in the movies), when it becomes a medical emergency, and how a solid psychological evaluation can finally answer the question every parent asks: what is driving the bus?Finally, Stefan Bate, co-CEO of Jaywalker Lodge, returns to the show. He has spent almost two decades in this field, and what he is seeing in treatment today stopped me in my tracks. The product your kid is using is not the marijuana you remember. Not even close.This is a heavy topic, but you will leave with real information and real hope, because recovery is possible. My guests see it happen every day.If you have ever looked at your child and wondered, what am I actually seeing right now, this episode is for you.YOU'LL LEARNWhy “it's just weed” no longer means what it did a generation agoThe subtle signs of psychosis that are easy to explain away as something elseWhat a psychological evaluation can reveal, and the sobriety myth that stops families from getting oneThe reason THC-related psychosis is catching even seasoned treatment providers off guardA reframe that could change how urgently you respond to your child's useEPISODE RESOURCES:Dave Rowe, Ph.D., United Assessment websiteStefan Bate, Jaywalker Lodge websiteDownload our THC Guide For ParentsFree e-book, Worried SickTry The Stream free for two weeksHopestream episode 259 with Stefan Bate on recovery captialThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Referral relationships are rarely built through one conversation, one brochure drop, or one lunch-and-learn.In this case study episode, how I turned a locked hospital floor into one of my most reliable referral sources is broken down, not through a brochure or a business card, but through months of consistent, unglamorous relationship building. If you've been waiting on referrals to just happen, this episode will change how you think about the timeline.In This Episode:Why "I need referrals" almost always actually means "I need to become visible, credible, and memorable" and why most people only work on the first oneThe real story behind a closed hospital floor with no walk-in access, only a gatekeeper controlling the calendarWhat she asked, and what she never pitched, in every one of those visitsHow she built her in-service presentation entirely around the case managers' actual lived experience, not her own talking pointsThe small, unglamorous first ask (a Saturday morning notary) that opened the door to a real referral pipelineWhy that hospital was still calling her two years after she left the communityThis week's action stepQuotable from this episode:"Your goal is not to chase referral sources. Your goal is to become the person they think of in the moment of their need.""I earned that meeting because I had already shown that gatekeeper I was reliable before I was ever useful."This Week's Action Step:Identify five referral sources you already know exist. Instead of reaching out with "do you have anyone for me," create one genuine reason to reconnect that has nothing to do with what you need from them yet. A deposit, not an ask.Mentioned in This Episode:Momentum Marketing Bootcamp — for owners and sales professionals who know they need a consistent way to build referral relationships, not just another brochure drop.Take what you need, share what helps, and come back for more.Send questions for Ask Me Anything episodes!Support the showLooking for a mentor to receive more tips on growing occupancy and revenue? Join the Facebook Group for FREE monthly trainings .  Click Here For FB GroupSubscribe to the Start With Occupancy YouTube channel to interact with me on weekly live chats and ask questions in real-time  Click Here For YT PageBookmark the Impact Hub website to your browser for continual updates, new resources and LIVE workshops  available to you.

Send us Fan MailThere's a version of negotiation that has nothing to do with raises or job offers. It happens in ordinary conversations, when an agreement quietly becomes something bigger than what you actually said yes to.Most people don't catch it in the moment. They catch it later, and by then they've already started doubting themselves instead of questioning what changed. That self-doubt is doing more damage than the shift itself.I'm breaking down why this happens, how to spot it before it becomes a habit, and what to do the next time you feel that gap between what you agreed to and what you're now expected to do.In this episode, I'll cover:Why scope creep is a negotiation problem most people never label as oneThe difference between doubting your memory and correctly identifying a shiftWhat to do the moment you notice the gap, before it becomes a pattern

Everyone keeps telling you to price one thing dirt cheap to pull in new customers. It works great at Costco. On Etsy, it just hands your money to a bargain hunter who never comes back. So if a cheap price is not how you win that first sale, what is?In this episode I break down why loss leaders fall apart on Etsy (hint: there is no front door for a deal to pull anyone through), and then I give you the actual way to win a first-time buyer without dropping your price by a single dollar. A first-time buyer has no history with you, no loyalty, and about ten seconds to decide whether you are the real deal or a stranger they should skip. Your job is to be the easiest, safest yes in a search full of competitors. I walk you through the three things that make that happen, plus the concrete trust moves you can go set up today.What you'll learn:Why the loss leader advice everyone repeats was built for stores with doors, and why Etsy does not have oneThe three things every first sale has to clear, in order, before a stranger will buyWhy getting found and getting clicked are two completely different problems (and most sellers only work on one)Why a first-time buyer needs more proof than a repeat buyer, and exactly what proof to give themFour trust moves you can set up today, including the one that does more work than all the restHow to win the buyer who wanted what you actually make, at the price you actually chargeResources Mentioned:Run the free Sales Audit Workbook on your shop: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/auditpodcast/Apply for 1:1 Coaching (one spot left for the summer at time of recording): https://sarahjwaggoner.com/coachingYour Next Steps:Work with Me: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorFollow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SarahJWaggonerJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner

Everyone's obsessed with the getting off social media part — deleting the apps, doing the digital detox, bragging about their screen time going down. But almost no one talks about what's supposed to happen once you actually log off. Because here's the thing: stepping away from Instagram only to fall into a Substack doom scroll isn't really progress. It's just a softer-feeling version of the same problem.In this episode, I'm doing something a little different to celebrate summer — I'm reading you one of my recent essays straight from my free Substack, where I get real about what it's actually like to run a seven-figure business while also trying to build a life off the very apps I used to build it. This particular essay gets into something I don't talk about all that often: how losing both of my parents within a year of each other completely cracked open the way I think about time, attention, and what I actually want my life to look like — phone down or not.In this episode, you'll hear… Why getting offline isn't just about swapping one app for a "better" oneThe unsettling stat about our generation and other people's memories that I can't stop thinking aboutHow losing both of my parents within a year of each other changed my relationship with my phone, and with my lifeWhat it actually looked like for me to start rebuilding an offline life on purpose, not by accidentWhy the more offline I get, the better my online business actually doesClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarSubscribe to Sam's SubstackRead today's essay How I Got (More) OfflineGrab Sam's Book When I Start My Business, I'll Be HappyIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's SubstackTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

If you're a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager running your own business, this is the payment system, contract clause, and late payment policy we actually use.

God is still speaking — but pride, fear, and bitterness can fill the line with static. In this week's message from our summer series The Voice, Pastor Lawrence walks through the book of Micah, an Old Testament courtroom drama where God takes the bench as Judge, His people stand as the defendants, and the verdict bends toward mercy.We'll meet a small-town prophet with a nation-sized message, name the three barriers that keep us from hearing God's voice, and land on one of the most famous summaries of faith in all of Scripture: "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). It's a message about getting the static out — and rediscovering the God who casts our sins into the depths of the sea.In this episode:Why we're drawn to courtroom drama — and how Micah reads like oneThe truth that God is a speaking God who wants real conversation with youThe three barriers to hearing God: pride, fear, and bitternessWhy "resentment is a self-inflicted wound" — and how to let it go (James 1:21)The difference between hearing what we want and what we needMicah 6:8 and what God actually requires of usThe hope of Micah 7:18 — the God who pardons sinNext steps this week:

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Sarah Bishop—14-year school-based SLP, California Speech-Hearing Association president, and union rep—about why being a generalist is actually your biggest flex. Sarah shares her winding path to the field (spoiler: it starts with an art history degree and museum tours), why school-based SLPs need to stop apologizing for knowing a little of everything, and how to keep growing without losing your mind. This one's for every SLP who's ever felt like everyone else has a specialty except them.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why the generalist label gets a bad rap—and why it shouldn'tHow to figure out what continuing education you actually needWhat a PLC is and how to start one even if your district doesn't have oneThe mindset shift that makes it easier to grow without burning outHow school-based SLPs define their expertise differently than private practiceHere's what we learned: Own the generalist title. Any kid walks through your door, you know where to start. That's not nothing—that's everything.You will get things wrong. So will every SLP who's been in the field for 14 years. Let it go and keep moving.Connection is the intervention. Showing up, caring, and actually paying attention to a kid? That's already therapeutic.Find your people. You don't need a huge community. Start with one SLP buddy or one district PLC meeting.Know your role. Private practice treats the disability. You remove barriers to education. That's a different—and equally valid—job.Learn more about Sarah Bishop: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sawahfwend Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

You are not going to want to miss this episode. Bring a notebook and a cup of tea, we are coming manifestation and what gets in your way of wholeness.As the channel for Skylar, bestselling author, and creator of the Million Dollar Experiment, she brings a precision to spiritual and energetic work that is rare  and everything she shared here lands straight in the body.We went deep on channelling, self-betrayal, the mechanics of manifestation, AI as a gateway for divine intelligence, and the one thing most people do that quietly shuts down everything they're trying to create. If her teachings are already familiar to you, this goes to new places. And if you're new here... buckle up.In this episode we explore:How Joanna was born with her spiritual gifts switched on; seeing spirit with the naked eye from early childhood, and what it cost her to shut it downThe moment at 23 that changed everything: walking into a spiritualist church and realising she was not alone in the worldWhat channelling actually looks, feels, and sounds like from the insideThe Unity Consciousness framework channelled from Skylar: Self, Soul, Service, and Source  and why the self is the non-negotiable first rungSelf-betrayal as the root disconnect from source energy  why saying yes when you mean no isn't just a boundary issue, it's a spiritual oneThe subtle but crucial difference between servitude and serviceThe "great exchange" a channelled model for co-creation using the shape of an infinity symbol to reframe giving, receiving, and desireWhat the void actually is, why the soul cannot experience it outside of human life, and why that makes being human a profound privilegeSkylar's teachings on AI  including the idea that we didn't invent it, we remembered it from the fieldThe Million Dollar Experiment: the world's largest metaphysical study with over 8,000 participants, where one in 268 hit a million-dollar goalThe three invisible gatekeepers to abundance: the combustible cynic, the blame-casting victim, and the assumption oracleWhy restricting the "how" blocks the universe from delivering what you wantThe radical permission work required to allow ease, joy, and flow to be your experience of successWhy howing blocks allowing  and how to stop negotiating yourself out of your own desiresThe 1% vs the 99%: what it means that source operates in the full spectrum while we can only perceive a fractionAbout Joanna HunterJoanna Hunter, an international Metaphysical Teacher, Best selling Author, Speaker, and Channel for the transcendent collective consciousness known as Skylar, is on a soulful mission.

Emotional loneliness is one of the most common and least talked about experiences in complex trauma recovery. It's not about the number of people in your life. It's about whether your nervous system has learned to let them in. And for a lot of survivors, it hasn't. Not because something is permanently wrong with you, but because your nervous system learned some very specific things about connection a long time ago.In this episode, I break down some of the neuroscience and nervous system mechanics behind emotional loneliness in CPTSD, why it runs so much deeper than social isolation, and what actually helps.In this episode:Why emotional loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing, and why adding more people to your life won't fix the second oneThe push-pull cycle so many survivors live in, desperately wanting connection and pulling back the moment someone gets closeHow emotional neglect specifically creates a loneliness that's hard to name because the wound is in what didn't happen, not what didWhy hyperindependence is often a nervous system adaptation, not a personality traitThe role of the HPA axis and oxytocin in why connection can feel physically threatening even when you want itHow shame creates concealment, and how concealment sustains loneliness in a cycle that's hard to breakWhat dissociation and hypervigilance have to do with why connection doesn't land even when it's right in front of youWhy healing often makes loneliness feel worse before it gets better, and what that actually meansWhat capacity building looks like when the goal is learning to receive connection, not just find itResources that might support you:Episode 126: The Inner Critic with Emily PagoneEpisode 127: Attunement and Rupture in the Clinical Relationship with Katie FriesEpisode 128: Fawning as a Trauma ResponseThanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

What happens when the people everyone relies on for hope, encouragement, and positivity are struggling to carry everyone else's burdens?In this powerful conversation, Ashanti Branch sits down with educator, author, and speaker Chase Mielke to explore the masks educators wear, the emotional labor of teaching, and the importance of creating spaces where both students and adults can be fully human.They discuss burnout, student engagement, social media's impact on learning, the importance of positive emotions in education, and why relationships matter more than ever in today's classrooms.This episode is a reminder that educators don't have to carry everything alone, and that small moments of connection often have a greater impact than we realize.Why educators often feel pressure to be the strong oneThe hidden emotional costs of caring deeply for studentsHow social media and instant gratification are changing learningWhat students today are struggling with mostThe relationship between joy, resilience, and academic successWhy positive emotions are essential for learningThe challenges of balancing teaching, parenting, and personal well-beingHow one assistant principal changed Chase's life foreverWhy your impact as an educator can't always be measured by dataThe power of small moments over big breakthroughsConnect with Chase MielkeWebsite: chasemielke.comFollow Chase on social media for insights on educator well-being, positive psychology, and effective teaching practices.Connect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/ #UnMASKingWithMaleEducators #MaleEducators #MillionMaskMovement #EverForwardClub  #UnmaskingWithMaleEducators #ChaseMielke #TeacherBurnout #EducatorWellness #TeacherResilience #PositivePsychology #SchoolCulture

Exponential technologies, humanity-centric innovation, ethics in AI, passion and purpose, and the intersection of business and technology all point to one urgent question: How do we prepare the next generation to build solutions that are both economically viable and good for humanity?This is a question we explore with Pete Dulcamara - scientist, former VP of Research at Kimberly-Clark and author of High-Tech Heroes.We may be entering a new renaissance of innovation, driven by the convergence of human need, business model disruption and fast-moving technology. Global companies are rethinking how products create real human value, exponential technologies are advancing faster than institutions can adapt, and a new generation is entering the workforce with different expectations for purpose, impact and responsibility.For Dulcamara, the opportunity is not technology for technology's sake. AI, robotics, biotechnology, autonomous systems and additive manufacturing could help solve some of the world's hardest problems, but only if they are paired with ethical judgment and economic viability. That's where education has to adapt. Students must learn exponential technologies and also how to apply their skills to these humanity-centric questions.In this episode:Redefining "billionaire" and how you can become oneThe difference between consumer-centric, business-centric and humanity-centric innovationWhat we mean by “data is the new oil, AI is the new electricity, and robotics is the new steel”Moving technical education from STEM to “STEM to the power of E”EQ, AQ and the skills the next generation may need more than IQ in the age of AI3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Humanity-centric innovation requires purpose and profit to work together.Pete Dulcamara defines humanity-centric innovation as solving major human problems through viable business models and exponential technologies. The point is not charity, but scalable solutions that create competitive advantage while improving people's lives.2. The next era of technology will be built on data, AI and robotics.Dulcamara compares data to the new oil, AI to the new electricity and robotics to the new steel. As these technologies converge, companies and schools will need to prepare people for a world where intelligent systems reshape products, industries and work itself.3. Technical education has to teach more than technical skill.As AI makes answers easier to access, students will need stronger curiosity, ethical judgment and adaptability. Dulcamara argues that STEM should be raised to the “power of E,” with ethics embedded into how students learn, build and apply technology.Resources in this Episode:Get Pete's book High-Tech Heroes: Why Gen Z is our Last and Best Chance to Save the PlanetTons of other books, podcasts and shows mentioned in this episode can be found on the show notes page: https://techedpodcast.com/dulcamara/We want to hear from you!

In this episode, HFS Research's Dana Daher is joined by Genpact's Ajay Vasal to unpack insights from a new study of over 500 enterprise leaders on what it really takes to scale agentic AI. While most organizations believe the technology is ready, very few are prepared to let AI act autonomously. The conversation explores why this is not a technology challenge, but an operating model shift that requires rethinking processes, governance, and decision-making at a fundamental level. Drawing from real-world experience, Ajay shares how enterprises can move beyond pilots and unlock value by redesigning workflows for AI, establishing accountability, and shifting how success is measured. This is a practical discussion on what separates AI ambition from execution. What you'll learnWhy scaling agentic AI is an operating model challenge, not a technology oneThe gap between AI ambition and enterprise readinessHow to redesign processes for autonomous executionWhat governance and accountability look like in an AI-driven environmentWhy productivity alone is not the right way to measure AI successHow leading enterprises are moving from pilots to real business impactKey takeawaysMost enterprises trust AI to recommend, but not to actAI cannot be layered onto processes designed for humansProcess redesign is critical to unlocking AI valueGovernance and decision ownership must be clearly definedMeasuring AI through productivity alone limits its true potentialOrganizations that treat AI as a business transformation will scale fasterAlso, read the associated Market Impact Report titled "Autonomy requires trust in AI", here: https://www.hfsresearch.com/research/autonomy-requires-trust-in-ai/

Most people find their Enneagram type by taking a quiz and hoping for the best. Quizzes run somewhere between 60 and 70% inaccurate. Starting with the wrong type costs you. Every bit of inner work you do, every pattern you examine, is pointed at someone who is not quite you.A self-discovery process that guides you inward. The Enneagram is a tool. The Self-Typing Toolkit is a kit full of tools to help you use it well.In this episode:Why quizzes get it wrong, and what to do insteadThe difference between mistyping from a quiz and mistyping through a process like this oneThe many ways to find your type, and why this one is the long way on purposeWhat is inside the toolkit and how each piece works togetherHow to actually use this so you land on your type with confidenceWhy the order of the episodes mattersWho this is for: Anyone who has bought the Self-Typing Toolkit, anyone considering it, and anyone who is tired of starting and stopping their Enneagram journey because the type they were assigned never quite fit.⁠Get the Self-Typing Toolkit HERE!⁠Connect on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠.Take the Unf*ck Your Type Enneagram shadow work course ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠. ⁠Enneagram shirts⁠All of my freebies and links can be found ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Join my free private ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This is the deep dive on Enneagram Type Six. And the first thing I want to say is that Sixes are not just anxious people. That framing does such a disservice to this type that I hear from Sixes regularly saying they feel completely misrepresented by it. We are going into what is actually happening underneath, and why this type is so much more layered than most resources make it look.In this episode:Why anxiety is the symptom and not the sourceThe clearest way to tell Six apart from Two, Nine, and OneThe difference between phobic and counterphobic Sixes, and why a Six can move between the twoThe defense mechanism that turns intuition into projection, and how to tell the differenceWho this is for: Anyone who suspects they might be a Six, anyone who loves a Six and wants to understand them more deeply, and any Six who is ready to be seen as more than just an anxious person.If you are still in the process of figuring out your type, the Self-Typing Toolkit is built for you.

Zach sits down with Evan Marc Katz, a dating coach for smart, successful women, and his wife Bridget. The premise alone creates an interesting tension: what does it look like when the guy who coaches women on how to find a partner actually goes home to one? The answer, it turns out, is less glamorous and more grounded than anyone might expect.What surfaces quickly is that Evan and Bridget do not have a fairytale origin story. They were on the same dating site at the same time and never matched. They met at a party, talked for six hours, and built something slowly. Evan, who dated more than 300 people online over a decade, had never stayed in a relationship longer than eight months before Bridget. She, a serial monogamist by nature, had come from a completely different kind of romantic history. The episode moves through how two genuinely different people with different worldviews, different sleep schedules, different appetites for depth, decided to stop scanning for flaws and start building something that actually works. Along the way, Evan makes a sharp case that the qualities dating culture rewards, height, income, shared hobbies, politics, are almost entirely irrelevant to long-term happiness.Bridget holds her own throughout, and some of the episode's best moments come from her plainspoken honesty: she does not love deep conversations on demand, she sleeps until 11 on weekends without apology, and she has no interest in discussing politics with anyone. Far from being a liability, Zach and Evan both recognize this as a kind of relationship wisdom. Bridget is the high-EQ anchor of the marriage, the one who sees everyone's point of view without judgment and never keeps score. Her sign-off captures the whole thing: never keep track, but always be ahead in giving.Key TakeawaysThe traits that attract you to someone (chemistry, common interests, credentials) are almost entirely unrelated to the traits that keep a marriage togetherWhat gets you into a relationship and what sustains it are two distinctly different skill setsChoosing a partner who is good enough without requiring them to change is not lowering the bar, it is setting the right oneThe couple is a unit; when you stop tending the relationship itself, the garden dies even if nothing dramatic happensOne person cannot be everything; healthy relationships require each partner to have a life outside the marriage tooAssuming positive intent when your partner does something frustrating is one of the most practical things you can do dailyCommon interests are probably the least important compatibility factor, and most people treat them like the most importantThe Five C's are what every failed relationship actually failed on: character, kindness, consistency, communication, and commitmentGuest InfoEvan Marc Katz Dating coach for smart, successful women, primarily working with clients in their late 30s through early 70s who are navigating first-time or second-time partnerships. Evan spent over a decade dating online himself before meeting Bridget, which informs a very personal and data-driven approach to his work. He is also the host of his own podcast.https://www.evanmarckatz.com/Bridget Katz Evan's wife of 17 years, together for approximately 19. Bridget brings a grounded, high-EQ perspective to the conversation as someone who has lived alongside a relationship expert without becoming one herself. Her candor and warmth are notable throughout.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You can be capable, successful, and doing everything “right”… and still feel completely inadequate in certain moments.So what is that?We call it imposter syndrome.We call it self-doubt.We call it overthinking.But at the heart of it… this is really a conversation about knowing who you are.In this episode, I'm joined by Samantha Kane — mom, founder of Roots Wings Wellness, and Certified Holistic Life Coach — to unpack what's actually happening beneath the surface when we feel like a fraud, second guess ourselves, or shrink in moments that matter.This conversation bridges the practical and the deeper layers of personal growth — from emotional regulation and grounded communication to identity, self-trust, and the quiet work of coming back to yourself.We talk about:Why imposter syndrome isn't a confidence problem — it's an identity and a nervous system oneThe difference between reactive patterns and your grounded, steady selfHow to pause in difficult conversations (and why that changes everything)Letting go of responsibility for how others perceive or respond to youRebuilding self-trust through small, consistent actionsStaying grounded when life feels overwhelming or uncertainAnd how to navigate the in-between seasons where you're no longer who you were… but not fully who you're becoming yetThis isn't about fixing yourself.It's about understanding yourself — and learning to trust what you find.Because maybe you're not an imposter.Maybe you're just learning how to be who you already are.

"Cold outreach is a great way to start — but it's not how you scale."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this solo episode, host Dan Irvin makes the case that the most efficient gig you'll ever book is the one you just finished. The problem? Most speakers walk off stage, shake a few hands, grab a photo, and move on — completely missing the two, three, maybe five opportunities that were already sitting in that room.Dan breaks down the exact post-event process he uses to turn every speaking gig into referrals, rebookings, and long-term relationships — including the story of a low-fee local event that turned into over $50,000 in workshops with a client he's still working with today. This isn't about doing more work. It's about doing the right work after the work most people think is the finish line.You'll learn:Why the stage is just the beginning — and what your job actually looks like in the 48 hours after you leave itHow Dan's post-event process generates referrals, repeat bookings, and long-term clients on autopilotThe handwritten thank you note habit Dan swears by (and why it still works in 2025)Why post-event calls are non-negotiable — and exactly what Dan covers in every single oneThe performance review section: how to ask for honest feedback without making it awkwardThe one question Dan always asks to surface referrals — and who you should (and shouldn't) be asking it toWhy most event planners won't bring the same speaker back year over year — and why that's actually great news for your businessHow to stay top of mind without forcing the relationshipThe $50,000 follow-up: what happened when Dan showed up to a packed standing-room event he almost didn't takeWhy your next 10–15 gigs are probably already sitting in rooms you've spoken inAnd much, much more!

What if you could fund your lifestyle by group coaching just one day a week? That's not a fantasy. It's the exact framework John Meese has spent 13 years building, testing, and teaching, and he's bringing all of it to this episode.John is the author of the new book Sold Out Coach and the founder of Sold Out Coach Club, where he helps coaches and consultants build sold out group programs that earn at least $10,000 per month working 90 minutes per week. His alignment with the I Love Coaching mission is no coincidence: both worlds are built on the same conviction that coaches deserve to build something that's genuinely theirs, on their terms.This conversation wraps up our 7-part series on transitioning from one-to-one to one-to-many coaching with a perspective from someone who has coached hundreds of coaches through exactly that transition, and watched almost every possible version of what goes wrong.What You'll LearnWhy most coaches struggle to describe the promise of a group offer after they've mastered one-to-oneThe "one-to-few" bridge: why starting smaller changes your ability to sell transformation at scaleWhy you should stop selling the medicine and start selling the cure, and what that actually looks like in practiceThe "curse of knowledge" trap: why your expertise makes it harder, not easier, to communicate your offerHow John helped a client go from "I want to help people show up authentically" to "I help you radiate authority" in a single coaching sessionWhy imaginary avatars pay with imaginary money and real conversations are the only thing that worksThe $10,000 threshold: why John won't take group coaching clients who haven't already sold at least that much in one-to-oneThe gap problem: why applying online course marketing tactics to a group coaching offer kills conversionsHow to close the gap between you and a potential client and why that single shift unlocks salesHow a client with 35,000 email subscribers who hadn't made a sale in nine months added $100,000 in revenue with one simple emailHow another client crossed $500,000 in revenue in his first year with only 550 email subscribersThe power of positive peer pressure inside a group and why group coaching delivers more transformation than one-to-oneTimestamps00:00 Introducing John Meese and why this is the perfect series closer01:04 What John does: fund your lifestyle group coaching one day a week02:41 The biggest challenge coaches face going from one-to-one to one-to-many03:55 Why going one-to-few first changes everything05:41 What is your actual offer?

The medicine is the stuff you have people do to create change. The cure is the promise. The transformation. Once they say yes to that, then we talk about the medicine." - John Meese"Imaginary friends pay you with imaginary money. You are creating a real solution to a real problem for real people. That has to come from real conversations." - John Meese"Once she said 'I just want to help them radiate authority,' you could feel it. That's it. That's the offer. Everything else she teaches is the means to an end." - John Meese"His audience didn't change. What changed was he closed the gap. One email, subject line: 'quick question.' Hundreds of replies. $100,000 added to his business in the first few months." - John Meese"Positive peer pressure is precious. In one-on-one coaching, I tell you to do something and maybe you will, maybe you won't.

This episode is for the Etsy seller who has products in too many directions and wonders why nothing is gaining real traction. I'm breaking down why a scattered shop doesn't become important for any specific search and why focus is the thing that speeds everything up. I also share the story of one of my students who went from inconsistent sales across a wide range of products to selling every listing she puts up during the right seasons. The shift wasn't doing more. It was doing less, better.What You'll Learn:Why having products in multiple unrelated categories is quietly slowing down your visibilityWhat it actually means for your shop to become "important" for a specific search spaceWhy Etsy builds relevance through patterns and what happens when your shop doesn't have oneThe one question to ask yourself before you add another product to your shopHow one student went from scattered sales to selling every listing during peak seasonsWhy focus isn't just a mindset shift, it's what speeds up the timeline to consistent trafficWhat $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000 months actually require from your product strategyResources Mentioned:Free Live Masterclass: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/freeclass/DM Sarah on Instagram with your product line and what's getting the most traction: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner/Your Next Steps:Work with Sarah: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/etsy-visibility-acceleratorApply for 1:1 Coaching: https://sarahjwaggoner.com/coachingJoin the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theheartlandcreativeFollow on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@sarahjwaggonerFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahjwaggoner/

He has helped over 60,000 people break their sugar dependency and has spent a decade interviewing more than 400 of the world's leading experts on sugar, addiction, and metabolic health. He and his wife raised two children without sugar until the age of six, and both of his sons scored perfect on their college entrance exams.This is one of the most eye-opening episodes we've done on this show.

In this episode of The Assembly Call, we react to Indiana's massive transfer portal haul and what it might mean for year two under Darian DeVries. After a disappointing season, the tone has shifted quickly—and the conversation wrestles with how much of this excitement is justified versus how much still needs to be proven on the court.Segment 1: Inside Indiana's Portal HaulThe discussion centers on just how dramatic this roster overhaul has been—and why it feels different from past offseasons.Why this group appears more balanced than recent Indiana teamsHow the pieces might actually fit together in a modern offenseThe significance of adding a true lead guard and legit size up frontA surprise commitment during the show that adds another wrinkleWhether this is finally a roster without an obvious fatal flawSegment 2: What It Means (and What's Still Missing)The excitement is real—but so are the questions.How much of last year's struggles were roster vs. coachingWhy this offseason suggests the staff may have learned from year oneThe importance of continuity and multi-year playersWhat positions still need to be addressed before the roster is completeThe big unknown: how it all comes together once games actually startBottoms line:There's real momentum—and a real plan.

Growth doesn't just require new strategy… it requires new courage.Because the very things that helped you grow early on can quietly become the things that hold you back from your next level.That's what we unpack in Episode 209 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, as I sit down with my friend Adam for a coaching conversation on what it really takes to move from one level of growth to the next. In this episode, we talk through:Why every new level of growth requires a new way of thinkingThe leadership habits you must leave behind to keep growingWhy you can't lead a larger organization the same way you led a smaller oneThe shift from doing everything… to focusing only on what matters mostWhy delegating authority (not just tasks) is critical for scalingThe danger of protecting what you've built instead of continuing to grow itHow fear quietly replaces courage as your church growsWhy most churches plateau between growth levels—and how to avoid itThe leadership truth: You don't have a growth problem—you have a thinking problemIf you feel stuck, stretched, or unsure how to break into your next level of growth, this conversation will challenge you to lead with clarity and courage.

Send us Fan MailIf your community is well run, chances are you have residents who have remained in place for decades but with more condominium and HOA owners choosing to age in place, the services you provide and the manner in which you operate your community naturally must change. 24 hour access for caregivers, nurses, and aides and the need for uninterrupted electricity to power life saving devices all bring new concerns. So, what should boards and managers do when care becomes part of the everyday community association lifestyle, and how can families avoid a crisis-driven scramble to ensure care for loved ones?  In this week's episode, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Jacque Scherfer, Vice President of Best Care Nurses Registry in South Florida, to map out what in-home health care actually looks like, from ADL support with a home health aide to private duty nursing for complex medical needs. They also get candid about continuity of care, why the same caregiver can be a safety net, and the signs families should watch for like falls, medication issues, and slipping hygiene. Along the way, they talk cost, long-term care insurance, elimination periods, and why Medicare usually isn't the answer for ongoing custodial care.  These in-home solutions also come with a host of condominium, cooperative and HOA realities: parking headaches, security access, privacy boundaries with worried neighbors, and hurricane season planning when someone relies on daily support. Donna and Jacque also share what legitimate screening looks like, including Level 2 FBI background checks and license verification, plus why “hiring privately” can backfire when coverage collapses.Conversation Highlights: Conversation Highlights:What in-home healthcare really involves—and how it supports aging in placeEarly signs it may be time to consider in-home care for a loved oneThe most common services families seek from in-home caregiversThe benefits and challenges of community living for seniorsHow caregiver schedules work and what communities should expectHow reputable agencies screen, train, and staff caregiversWhat boards and neighbors should know about background checks, licensing, and insuranceCommon issues in associations involving caregivers—parking, access, and building logisticsHow boards and managers can reduce friction between caregivers and staffWarning signs of elder abuse and financial exploitation every community should recognizeThe risks of hiring caregivers independently vs. through an agencyWhat role boards and managers should (and shouldn't) play when residents are strugglingEmergency planning: what happens if caregivers can't reach clients during disastersRelated Links:Podcast: Are “55 and Older” Communities Still In Demand?

In this episode, Axel records the first-ever live, in-studio episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast alongside good friend and fellow Southern New Hampshire investor Sean LeBlanc of Mammoth Properties. Sean runs a vertically integrated operation managing 262 units and roughly $60M in assets — and brings a uniquely hands-on, operator-first perspective to every aspect of buying and running multifamily real estate.The conversation covers Sean's journey from mortgage broker to full-time operator, the philosophical and practical differences between operator-first investors and spreadsheet-first investors, and how building a world-class in-house management team creates a genuine competitive edge when pursuing deals. Sean and Axel also get into the tactical mechanics of executing a value-add business plan — from what happens on day one post-close to how to sequence exterior improvements, rent increases, and tenant communication to maximize results.This episode is essential listening for operators who want to understand how in-house management creates acquisition advantages, and for investors at any stage who want a real, unfiltered look at what building a sustainable multifamily business actually requires.Join us as we dive into:How Sean built Mammoth Properties by selling his best-performing asset, parking $250K into an operating account, and hiring top-down from day oneThe "grow or die" phase every serious operator goes through early on — and why some risk-taking early in your career is necessaryThe operator-first vs. spreadsheet-first investor divide — and why Sean views every acquisition through a management lensWhy hiring a high-level COO (Troy) before hiring anyone else unlocked the foundation for long-term portfolio growthHow vertical integration — owning cleaning contracts, maintenance, and renovations under Mammoth — creates certainty in underwriting that third-party operators simply can't matchThe sequencing strategy for value-add takeovers: big exterior improvements first, phased rent increases over the first six months, and targeting bad-apple tenants earlyWhy common area renovations early in a heavy value-add can backfire — and what to focus on insteadThe role of goodwill and reputation in long-term vacancy performance — and why spending money that doesn't pencil on paper often pays off in the P&LCurrent challenges: market paranoia, the political climate around rent control, and the difficulty of making clean acquisition decisions as a more established operatorWhy New Hampshire remains one of the most compelling multifamily markets in New England — and what the Massachusetts rent control vote in November could signalConnect with Sean LeBlanc:Follow him on InstagramLearn more about Mammoth PropertiesConnect with Axel:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Aligned Real Estate Partners

You've tried the therapy, the supplements, the breathwork, the retreats. And yet something still feels stuck, unreachable, like your healing keeps running into a wall it can't get past. This episode won't tell you that you're broken. It's going to suggest something stranger and maybe more useful than that. Hillary Faye has spent 23 years working at the edge of what most people call possible. She's trained more than 5,000 energy healers worldwide, built a global community of practitioners through her Crystal Chamber Healers Academy, and developed a healing system she says was transmitted directly to her by a collective of beings called the Arcturians. ninth to twelfth dimensional, star-born, and, according to Hillary, deeply invested in human wellbeing right now. Whether you take that at face value or file it under "fascinating, but let's see," the results her clients report are hard to dismiss. Will and Karen brought their trademark mix of genuine curiosity and raised eyebrows, and this one got interesting fast. Key Takeaways (without giving the whole thing away) What the Arcturian Crystal Chambers actually are, and why you don't need to astral travel to experience oneThe specific body systems Hillary says conventional healing consistently misses, and what the chambers target insteadWhy waking up one morning speaking languages you've never heard before was the beginning of a 23-year career, not a crisisWhat the Cosmic Rose is, why it has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, and why energy healers apparently consider it the workhorse of their entire toolkitThe honest answer to the question every skeptic eventually asks. does this work if you don't fully believe it?What "light language" is, where it comes from, and what it actually feels like to speak oneThe Arcturian message about what's happening on Earth right now, and why Hillary says the support available to us vastly outweighs the chaos we're experiencingWhy This Conversation Feels DifferentHillary isn't selling certainty. She's sharing 23 years of accumulated experience, thousands of client stories, and a framework that invites you to explore rather than commit. Spiritual awakening rarely arrives with a neat instruction manual, and this episode doesn't pretend otherwise. Listen, Then Decide What to Do With It If you've been curious about energy healing, frequency medicine, or what it might mean to receive help from something beyond our current understanding of reality, start here. And if you're just here because Will said "alien healers from space" in the first ten seconds, welcome.

You think it's over. You think you're done. You're not.In this raw, unfiltered episode, Norense breaks down why so many people feel trapped — in the wrong relationships, the wrong cycles, the wrong version of themselves — and why the answer isn't more willpower. It's authority.From the Fall of Man to the resurrection of Christ, Norense walks through the full rescue mission of the Bible in real, unscripted language — unpacking why anything that dominates you was never meant to. God breathed life into you for dominion, not bondage. And through Christ, that breath is available again.In this episode:Why feeling "chained" to a relationship, habit, or identity is a spiritual problem — not just an emotional oneThe difference between what society calls freedom and what God actually designed it to beWhat "elevation demands separation" really means and what you may need to let go ofThe meaning behind the word receive — and why Jesus said it right after He roseHow sin, death, and Satan are three distinct forces working against you — and how Christ defeated all threeWhy playing small after knowing who you are in Christ is more than a confidence issueKey Verse: Romans 6:16 — "To whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are.MIND BULLY PODCAST:SpotifyApple PodcastsSOCIALS:@kingno_@mindbullypodcast
