What is Brain Food, Really? As an aspiring entrepreneur, if you want to use food to make yourself more productive — should you believe all the stories about “brain foods,” “superfoods,” and “energy hacks”? Or should you just eat what you know you should be eating — the food that sustains your health, your focus, and your life? It's so easy to forget the basics of healthy living when your entrepreneurial dream feels urgent. But here's the truth: You can't run your business if you don't take care of your body.

The clinical definition of shyness – typically means you have a fear of judgment or what others think. You feel awkward, nervous, or self-conscious, so you avoid social situations where you might stick out. You do not take action because you are afraid of negative feelings. Many aspiring entrepreneurs experience those feelings about their online business idea, and wonder if they will ever have the skills to achieve their dreams. In this episode, Case explains how being shy doesn't disqualify you from entrepreneurship — and how it might actually give you an advantage. Because the most successful entrepreneurs are not necessarily the loudest. To achieve your goals, you must be clear, focused and consistent with the actions that move your ideas forward — even when your heart is racing. So, if you've ever thought, you are too shy, quiet or unsure of yourself. You need to listen to this episode to understand how to overcome shyness while you build your online business, how to see your quiet nature as an asset, and how to move toward your goals — even when it feels uncomfortable. Your Action Plan:Understand Your Personal ValueKnow Your GoalPractice ExcellenceThink as a Business LeaderBuild Confidence Action-by-ActionTo have an enjoyable life  in our global, advanced tech society, you have to create value.  To have the career, finances and lifestyle, you desire you have to be on a proven path that has delivered in good times and bad.  That path is entrepreneurship.

"If you just had more money, would everything be great?"Money is a tool.  A resource.  A result. But the real key that unlocks everything needed for your fabulous life — is you. And to make YOU work, you must master yourself. Because if you can't master yourself… you can't master anything else.  When aspiring entrepreneurs start an online business, they are not rich and famous. You start with one thing in mind…freedom — time freedom, creative freedom, life freedom. And you can achieve your freedom when you stop building someone else's dream…and start building your own. That's what entrepreneurship really is. It's not just business. It's control. Control of your time, decisions and how you show up in the world. If you want to live a great life — you have to reclaim that control. In this episode, Case discusses how focusing on yourself and what you can do and contribute brings you to that control.Your Action Plan:Recognize that your entrepreneurial journey is about freedom and control. Take Action, avoid procrastinationRecast to play a new role in your own lifeAim for ownership…of your online business and your lifeGet beyond mere surviving, to creating your lifeBe Prepared, Persistent and Purposeful in Your PursuitTo have an enjoyable life in our global, advanced tech society, you have to create value.  To have the career, finances and lifestyle, you desire you have to be on a proven path that has delivered in good times and bad.  That path is entrepreneurship.

Most people think the fear of public speaking means you're not cut out for it. But that couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode of The Expert Edge, Colin gets real about one of the most universal fears out there - speaking in front of people. Whether it's a live audience, a Zoom room, or a podcast mic, that nervous energy you feel before sharing your message isn't a flaw - it's a signal.

You'll learn: Why focusing on service dissolves fear - and how shifting attention from yourself to your audience instantly builds confidence. How to be truly present - the simple grounding practice Colin uses to stay calm and connected on stage.

“Where do aspiring entrepreneurs find the inspiration to create a dream life?"Sometimes the wisdom you need is not in the latest bestseller or the hottest guru you discovered on online…sometimes the wisdom is in the lost teachings of those who came long before us.  In this episode, Case explores the work of the philosopher Elsie Lincoln Benedict. In the 1920s, Elsie Lincoln Benedict was one of the most popular self-help authors and speakers in America. She wrote books like How to Analyze People on Sight and gave lectures to packed audiences—thousands of people would gather in auditoriums just to hear her speak about personality, ambition, and the power of self-knowledge.  We still have a lot to learn from Elsie and discovering her teachings now can help you as an aspiring entrepreneur who needs motivation and inspiration to take action to create your dream life. Your Action Plan:Know yourself and align your business with your strengths.Protect and direct your energy—it's your greatest asset.Master people skills, because business is about relationships.Pursue freedom, not just money.Balance imagination with actionTo have a comfortable life in our global, advanced tech society, you have to create value.  To have the career, finances and lifestyle, you desire you have to be on a proven path that has delivered in good times and bad.  That path is entrepreneurship.

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business isn't your funnel, your offer, or even your strategy …but your brain? In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Dr. Shannon Irvine - entrepreneur, neuroscientist, coach, and author of the brand-new book The 67 Day Year. Shannon has helped thousands of business owners rewire their thinking so success isn't just possible - it's inevitable. We dive into: Why your brain is wired for safety, not success - and how to flip the switch so growth feels natural instead of threatening. How to identify and break subconscious “brake pedal” beliefs (like “I'm not enough” or “No one will buy this”) that stall your momentum. The priming process elite athletes use to train their brains for performance—and how you can apply it to launches, sales calls, and big stages. Shannon also unpacks her Mind Matrix tool and shares why rewiring your brain is the fastest way to unlock higher income, influence, and impact - without burning out or adding 27 new strategies to your plate. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” and still not getting the results you want, this episode will show you what's really going on under the hood - and how to change it.
