Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

Genetic resilience and the dynamics of inbreeding and diversity in dairy breeding. Dr. Maltecca (6:43)The main issues in managing genetic diversity in dairy cattle include inbreeding depression and continuing selection without exhausting the available variability in the population. These are difficult to investigate in a breeding population, as there is not a model algorithm where there is the luxury of designing an experiment. Dairy cattle closely resemble one another, so it is difficult to distinguish between the effect of selection from the effect of drift and the effect of deleterious mutation accumulation in the population. Researchers find proxies to estimate inbreeding and inbreeding depression because we don't have good estimates of dominance effects.Identifying genetic diversity within indigenous and highly commercialized breeds for improved performance and future preservation. Dr. Huson (12:24)Dr. Huson covered four steps of thinking about genetic diversity in cattle: characterization of the genetic diversity, biological understanding of why we should preserve diversity, utilizing our understanding of diversity in breeding programs, and preserving and reassessing diversity over time. Harnessing indigenous African breeds for sustainable dairy production: Opportunities for crossbreeding to accelerate genetic improvement. Dr. Mapholi (16:52)Dr. Mapholi emphasized the importance of tick and disease resistance for the sustainability of the African dairy industry. The indigenous African breeds had been overlooked due to small frame size and the perception they were not suitable for commercial farming, but they have excellent tick and disease resistance. Exotic breeds from the US and Europe struggled with the harsh environment. Crossbreeding indigenous and exotic breeds is allowing for simultaneous improvement in milk production and disease resistance. Genomics is particularly helpful to identify the best candidate breeds for crossing.Genomic- versus pedigree-based inbreeding: 2 sides of the same coin. Dr. Macciotta (24:19)It was thought that genomic selection would help in slowing the increase of inbreeding because we were looking at the DNA of the animal, not their pedigree. However, the traditional top animals were the population from which genomic selection began, and genomic selection shortens generation interval, so inbreeding continues to increase at a faster rate. Genomics offer new tools for investigating inbreeding, but there are 10-15 options to calculate inbreeding, all of which could provide a different answer. With pedigree selection, there is only one measurement of inbreeding. We are still investigating the best method for calculating inbreeding using genomic tools.Managing genetic diversity: Strategies for sustainable livestock improvement. Dr. Baes (27:53)Genomic selection has increased the speed at which animals become more related. There are negative implications of inbreeding, but today, the genetic and economic gains achieved through the current intense directional selection still far outweigh the inbreeding issues. No one knows where the edge of the cliff is, however. Dr. Baes envisions an international system one day where academia, AI companies, and producers all work together to understand and manage genetic diversity in livestock.The panelists discuss key takeaways they got from the other speakers' presentations and give perspectives on the topic of genetic diversity for their particular country and field of study.

Real estate has gone through a painful reset—higher rates, lower values, and slower deal activity have pressured fundraising, distributions, and exit timelines. But for investors who provide flexible, platform-level capital, dislocation can create attractive entry points. Meanwhile, AI and data centers are reshaping demand, housing affordability remains a structural challenge, and the office segment is still under strain.   On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with David Haltiner, Managing Director at Neuberger's Almanac Realty Investors, which is marking 30 years of company-level real estate investing. They discuss how platform recapitalizations work, where the team is leaning in across sectors, and what investors may be overlooking in today's market.       This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

Show NotesMost organizations treat cybersecurity as a technology problem. They invest in layers of defense, run phishing tests, and deploy identity and access management tools. Yet headlines about breaches keep coming. Dr. Keri Pearlson, Senior Lecturer and Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management, argues that the real opportunity lies not in more technology but in changing how people across the organization think about and value cybersecurity.In this episode of the Human-Centered Cybersecurity Series, co-hosted by Julie Haney, Computer Scientist and Lead of the Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Dr. Keri Pearlson introduces her framework for cybersecurity culture built around values, attitudes, and beliefs. Rather than simply training employees on what to do, the focus shifts to shaping why they do it. When people genuinely believe cybersecurity matters, they take action without waiting for mandates or programs to tell them how.Dr. Pearlson shares vivid examples from her research: a CISO who hired a marketing professional to run the cybersecurity culture program, a CEO who opens every all-hands meeting with a five-minute cybersecurity story, and organizations that use creative rewards like chocolate chip cookies and digital badges to reinforce positive behaviors. She also outlines a five-stage maturity model for cybersecurity culture, from ad hoc efforts all the way to a dynamic culture that self-regulates as new threats like AI-driven vulnerabilities emerge.The conversation also tackles the relationship between organizational culture and cybersecurity culture, the role of group-level accountability, and why consequences matter just as much as rewards. Dr. Pearlson makes the case that cybersecurity should move from being viewed as an infrastructure play to a strategic advantage, one that can attract customers, reduce costs, and build competitive differentiation.For any leader looking to move the needle on security culture, this episode offers a research-backed roadmap and practical steps that anyone can take starting tomorrow.HostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Guest(s)Dr. Keri Pearlson, Senior Lecturer and Principal Research Scientist at MIT Sloan School of Management | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kpearlson/Julie Haney (Co-Host), Computer Scientist and Lead, Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-haney-037449119/ResourcesLearn more about Dr. Keri Pearlson's research: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/keri-pearlsonLearn more about the NIST Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/human-centered-cybersecurityCybersecurity at MIT Sloan (CAMS): https://cams.mit.edu/The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7108625890296614912/More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast episodes | https://www.seanmartin.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqKeywordsdr. keri pearlson, julie haney, mit sloan, nist, sean martin, cybersecurity culture, security culture, values attitudes beliefs, cyber resilience, human-centered cybersecurity, security awareness, phishing, cybersecurity maturity model, security behavior, cybersecurity strategy, redefining cybersecurity, cybersecurity podcast, redefining cybersecurity podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Zach Golden walks through one of the most critical skills in federal contracting: making fast, confident bid/no-bid decisions before you waste weeks chasing the wrong opportunity. Using OpnGovIQ, Zach shows how contractors can decode an RFP in under five minutes, identify hidden requirements, and immediately spot what could prevent them from winning — especially in complex VA janitorial and medical-adjacent contracts. Zach also explains how this rapid breakdown process scales across industries, allowing contractors to review 6+ projects in a single session, plan months ahead during capture, and highlight red flags early (like hospital experience, medical waste handling, or compliance gaps). The goal is simple: move faster than competitors, avoid disqualification, and build a repeatable proposal engine that wins. Key Takeaways: OpnGovIQ helps contractors break down RFPs in 3–5 minutes for faster bid/no-bid decisions The biggest proposal killers are usually disqualifiers like missing hospital experience or compliance gaps Reviewing multiple opportunities weekly builds a pipeline — winning starts before the RFP drops If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are no longer a niche tool for ultra-wealthy donors—they're a fast-growing, fragmented ecosystem holding more than $326 billion in charitable assets and expanding at ~25–30% annually. In this episode of the Whole Whale Podcast, Mitch Stein, Head of Strategy at Chariot, breaks down what's really happening inside the DAF economy: over 1,400 DAF programs, millions of households using them, payout rates that consistently exceed private foundations, and a surge in contributions driven by appreciated stock and late-year tax planning. The takeaway for nonprofits is clear: DAFs are becoming a mainstream giving vehicle, not an edge case, and ignoring them means ignoring where a growing share of charitable dollars now live. We also dig into the friction problem—and why it matters. DAFs reduce the mental friction of giving by separating “how much to give” from “where to give,” but outdated workflows still create drop-off at the moment of donation. Chariot's role is to remove that last mile of friction through shared infrastructure like DAF Pay, making it as easy to give from a DAF as using Apple Pay. The result: higher conversion, larger gift sizes, and more money actually moving to nonprofits. For fundraisers, the message is practical and urgent—get DAF-ready, normalize DAF giving, and stop treating it like a rare edge case. The money is there. The question is whether your organization is easy to give to.

This week we replay an episode from nearly 2 years ago about an editorial commentary from multiple congenital heart surgical leaders in the US. The topic of their expert opinion piece is the concept of public reporting of results and their 'amplification' through organizations such as US News and World Report, to name one. How has the use of the database from STS been sometimes misinterpreted through public reporting or ranking systems? What was the initial intent of the STS database and how does the present usage of these data differ from the initial intent? Do STS risk adjustment models capture all aspects of risk for patients undergoing surgery and how do deficiencies in this result in unfair 'rankings' of programs? Can we 'take control' of our data and interpret it more clearly and accurately for the public and reduce misusage or misinterpretation of the data? How can public reporting result in improved outcomes? How can 'gaming' of the system be reduced? Dr. Emile Bacha, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University shares his deep insights into a complex and challenging topic.DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.03.022

As human beings, it's ever so easy to sit on the summit of high-judgement and self-righteousness on seeing another human being doing something we consider wrong. Yet, as we spend more time in meditation, reflection and awareness building, we often and generally realize we do the same thing. Fascinating, yes?Maybe it looks slightly different than the thing that we do yet the main idea here is that we too are regularly guilty of the very acts we get so troubled by. When someone else does it.By practicing the practice of seeing someone displaying one of the flaws that make us human and praying for the power to forgive them because they are “just like me”, we relax. We breathe. We ground.And then we reach the serenity that makes our days so much richer.I've created a powerful completely new online program called The Amazing Day Blueprint. It's a proven system to help you constantly make your days productive, healthy and happy in 2026. Here are the details.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookXYouTube

After losing his business in the 2008 financial collapse, Doug Thorpe didn't pivot to another startup or chase the next trend. He went bankrupt — and then built a nonprofit to help hundreds of people find jobs in one of the worst labor markets in modern history.In this episode of Second Life Leader, Doug Thorpe joins Doug Utberg to unpack what actually happens after economic collapse — personally, professionally, and psychologically. From running a mortgage-services company wiped out in a 45-day window to navigating unemployment, identity loss, and reinvention, this conversation strips away the sanitized version of resilience.This isn't motivational theater. It's a practical, honest discussion about recovery speed, burn rate, relevance, and why old playbooks fail during systemic change. The conversation expands into modern job searching, why relationships still matter more than applications, and how platforms like Reddit are quietly reshaping how people connect, hire, and rebuild outside traditional corporate channels.If you're facing layoffs, career resets, business volatility, or the uncomfortable question of “what now?”, this episode offers clarity — not comfort.What We Explore• What it actually feels like to lose everything after long-term success• Why bankruptcy doesn't end careers — denial does• How Doug built a nonprofit during peak unemployment• Why most job applications go nowhere (and what works instead)• The role of relationships versus platforms in modern hiring• Why Reddit is emerging as a raw, trust-driven alternative to LinkedIn• How anonymity changes real conversation and opportunity• Using AI to surface real-time market signals instead of chasing noise• Why reinvention is a permanent requirement, not a phaseTL;DRReinvention isn't optional in volatile economies.Bankruptcy is an event — not an identity.Burn rate determines freedom more than revenue.Applications don't get jobs — relationships do.Platforms change, but trust remains the currency.Adaptability beats stability every time.Memorable Lines“It's not the collapse that defines you — it's what you build after.”“Burn rate is destiny when markets turn.”“You don't pitch your way to trust — you earn it.”“Applications are noise; conversations are leverage.”“Reinvention isn't reactive — it's strategic.”GuestDoug ThorpeEntrepreneur, nonprofit founder, executive coach, and business advisorDoug Thorpe is a former mortgage-industry entrepreneur whose company was wiped out during the 2008 financial crash. He went on to found a nonprofit that helped hundreds of job seekers navigate unemployment and career transition during the recession. Today, Doug advises business owners and leaders on growth, reinvention, and navigating volatility without losing clarity or integrity.Why This MattersThe modern economy doesn't reward loyalty or linear careers. It rewards people who can recalibrate quickly, stay relevant, and rebuild without clinging to outdated identities.For founders, operators, executives, and job seekers navigating uncertainty, this episode reframes failure as information — not judgment. The edge isn't avoiding collapse. It's shortening the distance between setback and meaningful forward motion. This is a public episode.

Would you rather win the argument — or actually get what you want? Because those two are rarely the same thing. In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into one of the most overlooked leadership and negotiation skills: learning how to resolve issues without needing to be "right." Drawing from real-world experiences with investors and high-stakes conversations, April unpacks why ego-driven negotiations often escalate conflict instead of solving problems. She explains how shifting from proving your point to understanding the other side creates faster resolutions, stronger relationships, and better outcomes for everyone involved. This episode is a powerful reminder that successful negotiations aren't about winners and losers — they're about clarity, collaboration, and progress. What You'll Learn in This Episode How April learned to address issues in a way that made it less painful for others to be wrong The critical question you must ask yourself: Do I want to be right, or do I want this resolved? Why the phrase "Help me understand…" is one of the most effective negotiation tools you can use How seeking to understand de-escalates conflict and increases your odds of getting your desired outcome Actionable Items Before your next difficult conversation, ask yourself: Do I want to be right, or do I want this solved? Replace defensive language with curiosity by using: "Help me understand…" Focus on outcomes, not ego — resolution beats validation every time ----------------

In The Choice Season 2, Episode 4, Ashe in America and Ghost continue their in-depth analysis of The Chosen by focusing on the episode's central theme of temptation, timing, and choice. This discussion centers on Simon the Zealot's backstory, his years of preparation for violence, and the pivotal moment when he is presented with what appears to be the perfect opportunity to carry out his mission. The hosts examine how the episode juxtaposes Simon's planned assassination with the healing at the pool, highlighting the internal conflict between vengeance, identity, and redemption. They explore the introduction of Atticus as a Roman intelligence operative, the portrayal of zealotry as an organized underground force, and how showrunner choices mirror modern information warfare, narrative control, and power structures. Ashe and Ghost also discuss the episode's theological depth, including Sabbath controversy, inverted authority, and the distinction between liberation from political oppression versus liberation from sin. The conversation emphasizes how restraint, humility, and divine intervention redirect the course of events at the exact moment a different path seems justified.

In this episode,  I was lucky enough to interview Joel Reed, CEO and founder of Open Arc.Joel starts to unpack the long, nonlinear journey of building a software consulting company that's lasted more than 20 years. Joel shares how a career plateau, the 2008 financial crisis, and a humbling professional low point ultimately pushed him to start Open Arc. From working four 10-hour days to fund the business on the side, to landing their very first customer through trusted relationships, Joel reflects on how resilience, timing, and people-first decision-making shaped the company's foundation.Joel dives into how Open Arc evolved from “doing everything for everyone” to deliberately narrowing its focus, saying no, and specializing in markets where they can truly differentiate. He discusses the post-pandemic shift in lead generation, the growing importance of vertical expertise, and how Open Arc is refining its positioning by listening closely to customer pain points. Joel also shares candid advice on starting a services business today, the realities of project-based work, the role of AI in modern software development, and why building a strong team with shared values remains the most important first step—no matter the era.Learn how Joel Reed built trust, focus, and longevity in a constantly changing software market in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:Open Arc, LLChttp://www.openarc.netJoel Reed's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-reed-oa/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

In this episode of the Govcon Giants Podcast, Eric Coffie sits down with Sam Le, founder of GovCon Intelligence and former SBA procurement policy leader with 17 years in federal contracting. Together, they break down the latest turbulence surrounding the 8A Program — including SBA's massive data call, the suspension of 1,100 firms, and heightened scrutiny on sole source awards above $20M. But despite the headlines, Sam explains why this may actually be the strongest moment in 8A history: the program reached a record $26B in awards in 2025, competition is shrinking, and small businesses that stay compliant can emerge with more opportunity than ever. The conversation also challenges misconceptions around "DEI labeling," highlights the true purpose of sole source contracting, and calls for SBA to expand visibility into industries like advanced manufacturing beyond the usual IT and construction pipeline. Key Takeaways: 8A is at an all-time high ($26B in 2025) even as 1,100 firms were suspended, reducing competition for active participants. Sole source contracts make up only 2–3% of federal spending, while 96% of sole source awards go to non-8A giants like Boeing and Lockheed. The biggest advantage right now belongs to firms that stay compliant, resilient, and relationship-driven before opportunities hit the bid platforms.

Join Dr. Aziz live for a 3-day VIRTUAL event: Not Nice LIVE > Go here for details and tickets. Most people don't struggle to speak up because they lack communication skills. They struggle because crossing that line feels dangerous. In this episode, Dr. Aziz Gazipura explores why you may still feel stuck in passivity or half-assertiveness, even if you've spent years working on yourself. You understand the ideas. You know you “should” speak up. And yet, when the moment arrives, something pulls you back. Rather than offering scripts or techniques, Dr. Aziz focuses on the real breakdown point: the guilt and fear that surface just before honesty. He examines how indirectness becomes a form of self-protection, why “gentle” assertiveness often fails to create real change, and how unspoken rules about being good, kind, or acceptable quietly limit your life. This episode isn't about becoming aggressive or finding better words. It's about recognizing the internal code that says, “If I'm really honest, I'll lose everything,” and understanding why that belief continues to run your behavior unless it's directly confronted. If you already know a lot about assertiveness but haven't been able to live it consistently, this conversation names the threshold you may have been standing at for years—and what it actually takes to cross it. --------------------------------- Many people reach a point where they realize something important: being “nice” isn't working anymore. For years—sometimes decades—they believed that staying flexible, not rocking the boat, and avoiding discomfort was the right way to live. They told themselves they were being considerate, kind, easygoing. They avoided pressuring people, avoided conflict, avoided making anyone uncomfortable. And then slowly, quietly, the cost became undeniable. Resentment started to build. Anxiety didn't go away. Relationships felt draining or unsatisfying. Opportunities were missed. A subtle but persistent sense of frustration crept in—often accompanied by the feeling, “I'm not really being me.” So they arrive at an insight that feels like progress: I need to speak up for myself. And that insight is progress. But it's not the breakthrough. Because knowing that you should speak up does not automatically mean that you can—or that when you do, it will actually work. Why “Just Speak Up” Usually Fails Many people assume assertiveness is a simple behavioral skill. Learn the right words. Use the right tone. Say the thing. But assertiveness isn't primarily about what you say. It's about the inner stance you're coming from when you say it. This is where things break down. Often, people move from passivity into what looks like assertiveness on the surface—but internally, they're still trying not to upset anyone. They soften their message. They hint. They explain excessively. They bring things up indirectly, hoping the other person will “get it” without them having to actually claim what they want. So they say something like: “I just wanted to mention that you said you were going to do X, and then it didn't happen… but it's okay, I handled it.” Technically, they spoke up. Emotionally, they didn't. Nothing meaningful changes—and then comes the conclusion: “See? Speaking up doesn't work.” So they retreat back into silence, often with more resentment than before. The Passive → Gentle → Stuck Cycle This is one of the most common cycles I see: First, passivity. Then, a tentative attempt to speak up. Then, disappointment when nothing changes. Then, withdrawal. Over time, resentment accumulates—not just toward the other person, but toward yourself. Because deep down, you know you didn't fully say what was true. What's most painful isn't that the other person didn't change. It's that real contact never happened. You weren't fully there. The Real Barrier Isn't the Situation People usually have a long list of reasons why they can't be more direct: “It's my boss.” “It's my parent.” “It's my partner.” “That would be mean.” “That would be selfish.” “You can't say that in this situation.” These reasons feel convincing because they're emotionally charged. But they all point away from the real issue. The real issue isn't the circumstance. The real issue is that you're operating within a very narrow internal permission structure—one designed to protect you from something that feels catastrophic. What Are You Actually Afraid Of? Imagine being fully honest in a situation where you usually hold back. Not cruel. Not attacking. Just clear. Naming the pattern. Naming the impact. Naming what does and doesn't work for you. Most people feel immediate discomfort just imagining this. Tightness in the chest. A sinking feeling. An urge to pull back. That discomfort usually isn't about politeness. It's about fear and guilt. And underneath those emotions is a deeper belief: If I'm truly myself, I will lose everything. Lose love. Lose approval. Lose safety. Lose belonging. So your nervous system learned a rule long ago: Don't be too real. That rule doesn't disappear just because you intellectually understand assertiveness. The “Hidden Code” Running Your Life Everyone who struggles to speak up is running unconscious lines of code. They sound like: “If I ask for something, I'm selfish.” “If I make someone uncomfortable, I'm bad.” “If I say no, I'll hurt them.” “If I'm direct, I'll be rejected.” What's striking is that most people don't consciously agree with these beliefs. When you say them out loud, they sound extreme—even absurd. And yet, they quietly govern behavior. You don't need more confidence tips until you start identifying these rules. Because as long as they remain unexamined, they run the show. Why Avoidance Keeps the Fear Alive Avoidance feels safe in the short term. In the long term, it guarantees that the fear never resolves. Just like a phobia, the fear only weakens when you approach what you've been avoiding—in a structured, supported way. As long as you keep telling yourself, “I'll say it later,” or “It's not worth it,” or “They won't change anyway,” the old code stays intact. And life quietly shrinks. What Actually Creates Change Change doesn't come from more information. It comes from: Becoming conscious of the rules you're living by Questioning whether they're actually true Taking real interpersonal risks—consistently This isn't about being aggressive. It's about being real. And yes—at first, the right thing often feels wrong. Assertiveness can feel selfish. Honesty can feel dangerous. Boundaries can feel cruel. Those feelings are not signs you're doing something wrong. They're signs you're upgrading old code. A Simple Place to Start Instead of trying to “be more assertive,” start here: Notice one situation where you hold back. Notice what you feel when you imagine being direct. Ask yourself: What rule am I following right now? Just seeing it begins to loosen its grip. From there, real change becomes possible. Final Thought Knowing how to speak up isn't enough because the problem was never a lack of knowledge. The problem is fear of losing connection by being yourself. And the truth—one that must be experienced, not just understood—is this: You don't lose everything by being real. You lose everything by never being you. Until we speak again, have the courage to be who you are— and know, on a deep level, that you're awesome.
