Episode Summary: As part of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast's Summer Content Series, this episode features a replay from Molly's former podcast, Live HAPPIER Longer. Originally episode 40, this conversation highlights the extraordinary story of Pat Gallant-Charette, a world-renowned open water swimmer who didn't even start training seriously until age 58.Pat's journey is a testament to what's possible when you stop letting age define your limits. From overcoming grief to chasing world records, Pat's story is filled with resilience, purpose, and bold reinvention. If you're feeling stuck, unsure, or like your time has passed, let this episode remind you: it hasn't.Whether you're working on reducing alcohol or simply trying to live with more intention, Pat's mindset offers a powerful dose of inspiration.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Pat didn't begin serious athletic training until midlifeHow she faced fears and pursued open water swimming in her late 50sThe mental strength required to swim across oceansHow she reframed setbacks, including a near-complete Ocean's SevenWhy her journey embodies aging with optimism and purposeKey Quote:“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Pat didn't just dream it—she dove in headfirst.”Why It Matters for Alcohol Minimalists:Just like Pat challenged her assumptions about age and limits, changing your relationship with alcohol often means questioning the beliefs you've held for years. Pat's story proves that big change is possible at any age and that our greatest chapters can begin later in life. Let it inspire your own path forward—whatever that looks like.Resources & Links:Free Resources from Molly: www.mollywatts.com/resourcesInternational Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame: www.imshof.orgConnect with Molly:Instagram: @alcoholminimalistWebsite: www.mollywatts.comNext Steps:If you've been telling yourself “I can't” or “it's too late,” let this episode be your nudge to reconsider. Change doesn't have an expiration date. It starts with belief—and one small step in the right direction.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In the final part of the 2025 Market Shift Update, David Sidoni breaks down why affordability is finally improving — and why old affordability formulas don't tell the full story. Discover how falling rates and shifting rent dynamics create opportunities for first-time buyers.For five years, first-time buyers have faced brutal affordability math. Home prices skyrocketed from $315,000 in 2020 to $438,000 in 2025, far outpacing normal appreciation. But the tide is finally turning. In this episode, David Sidoni explains how flattening home prices and falling mortgage rates are reshaping the affordability index in buyers' favor.More importantly, David reveals the fatal flaw in traditional affordability formulas: they ignore rent. Rent is your biggest monthly output — and it's rising no matter what. When you factor in rent replacement, buying often makes more financial sense than continuing to rent. David shows how to use this perspective to assess your readiness and why waiting for “perfect” affordability is a losing strategy.Packed with myth-busting insights, this episode equips buyers with the clarity and tactics needed to move forward in today's shifting market.“Buying a home is not a want purchase — it's a necessity purchase. You're paying for shelter either way.”HighlightsWhy affordability has been so brutal since 2020How today's interest rate drop makes homes more affordable, even at higher pricesThe flawed formula economists use to measure affordabilityWhy factoring in rent changes the entire equationTactical steps first-time buyers can use in today's market shiftReferenced Episodes382 - Part 1: Rates383 - Part 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability279 - New Build vs Resale Houses for First Time Homebuyers350 - From ‘Years Away' to Homeowner: Your Last Lease Ever355 - Real Answers Pt 4 – Should I Rent or Buy in 2025?168 - Get Off Your Ass!Websitewww.getoffyourass.orgConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

In this episode, Lisa and Zack discuss:Understanding the difference between everyday anxiety and an anxiety disorderThe role of technology and social media in contributing to Gen Z anxietyEvidence-based treatment approaches, including exposure therapyParenting strategies to support anxious teens without reinforcing fearKey Takeaways: Anxiety can be defined as an overestimation of threat and an underestimation of one's ability to cope, and it becomes a disorder when it causes significant dysfunction in daily life.Technology use often serves as a “medication” for uncertainty, providing short-term relief but contributing to worsening anxiety, with research suggesting decreased youth alcohol use but no mental health improvement.Accommodations, such as parents completing tasks for anxious teens, can unintentionally reinforce fears; asking guiding questions helps youth build coping skills.Exposure therapy works by gradually confronting fears until they become manageable or are disproven, reducing avoidance and increasing confidence. “Fear and anxiety have an incredibly important role to play in our lives. It's not all bad. It's not a negative emotion, but it is an emotion that requires some understanding and some skill to address.” – Zack SchaferEpisode References:The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/0593655036Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke: https://www.amazon.com/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence/dp/152474672XSPACE Treatment by Dr. Eli Lebowitz: https://www.spacetreatment.net/BePresent App: https://www.bepresentapp.com/Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Zack:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mountainvalleytreatmentcenter/Website: https://mountainvalleytreatment.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-schafer-a6026b108/Fear Less Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/Email: zschafer@mountainvalleytreatment.orgConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Ricky shares a cautionary tale of a man who lost $48M due to this very mindset.Macho – "I can do it":Stemming from pride and the need to prove oneself, this attitude can lead to overreaching and taking unwise risks, even in high-stakes environments such as medicine and aviation.Impulsivity – "Do something!":Acting without thinking can be catastrophic. Ricky shares examples from flight simulation training where impulsive actions lead to disastrous results.Anti-authority – "Don't tell me what to do":Rooted in unresolved trauma and mistrust, this attitude can destroy team dynamics and leadership effectiveness if not brought under control.Resignation – "What's the use?":Often triggered before a breakthrough, resignation causes people to quit too soon. Ricky and Jason discuss how spiritual resilience is key to enduring through tough seasons.Faith + Leadership = Transformation:Ricky emphasizes that these attitudes are not just about career development but about spiritual transformation. Whether in business, ministry, or family life, unchecked attitudes can derail destiny.Application in Real Life:From Fortune 500 companies to local churches, Ricky shares how his book and workshops are helping leaders and teams identify and confront their internal blind spots before they become public failures.About the Guest:Ricky Brown is the president and founder of Speak Life Inc., a compelling speaker, former commercial pilot, and military veteran.

In this episode, Michael Blank is joined by seasoned investor Paul Moore, founder of Wellings Capital, to unpack the journey from flipping houses and chasing every real estate strategy… to raising over $200 million in capital and building a fund-based business that finally delivered real wealth. Paul shares how a single moment with a mentor forced him to stop winging it and build a true capital-raising system.They dive deep into how capital raisers can grow with or without a deal, the myths about passive income, and why commercial real estate is fundamentally different (and more powerful) than residential. This episode is a masterclass in focus, mindset shifts, and breaking through plateaus by specializing.Key Takeaways: Passive Income Is a Lie—Until You Do This: Both Paul and Michael learned the hard way that flipping houses isn't passive—and the real path to financial freedom is cash-flowing commercial assets.Focus Beats Hustle: Paul was stuck chasing inconsistent deals until he narrowed in on raising capital and built a repeatable system to attract investors.Raising Capital Is a Skill, Not a Gift: Whether you do it 1-on-1 or through content marketing, anyone can learn how to raise millions—if they follow a proven playbook.Why the "Old Boys Club" Ignores You: Breaking into commercial real estate requires more than desire—you need credibility, partners, and a real strategy to be taken seriously.Commercial Real Estate Is Based on Math, Not Hype: Unlike residential, you can force appreciation through net income. That means you have control over value.The Fund Manager Model: Paul explains how capital raisers can scale faster—and stay compliant—by launching their own funds and partnering with proven operators.Connect with Paul Moore:Website: wellingscapital.comResources: Free eBooks on multifamily, self-storage, and mobile home park investing → wellingscapital.com/resourcesBooks: Author of The Perfect Investment, Storing Up Profits, and Warren Buffett's Rules for Real Estate InvestorsSocial Media: Find Paul on LinkedIn, YouTube, or search for Paul Moore Wellings CapitalPhilanthropy: Support his anti-human trafficking work at aimfree.orgConnect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor...

After being off the sourcing radar for almost a decade, suddenly everyone is starting to talk about Pakistan.The combination of brands looking to diversify sourcing - and the benefits of having a the entire supply chain from fiber to finished garment in country - is putting a shine on Pakistan and boosting it up the sourcing tier list.But Pakistan is more than simply another one of the countries where brands used to source until other places became more attractive.  To learn more about the massive opportunities in Pakistan, I reached out to my good friend Will Bettendorf, Director South Asia and Supply Chain Marketing, at Cotton Council International.  If anyone knows the real opportunities in a country it's Will.   He's spent over two decades working hands on with most of Asia biggest mills and manufacturers .  So he not only knows Pakistan, he's able to accurately compare and contrast the county with all of the other key sourcing nations.Recently I had the opportunity to join him and his team at a CCI event in Pakistan where I was able to meet some of the industry's leading manufacturers and buying offices learn about the strategic advantages the country offers - especially as we face a more complex sourcing environment.In this podcast Will shares his views on why Pakistan is poised to be the go-to place for sustainable apparel sourcing.USEFUL LINKS:Learn more about the US Cotton Trust Protocol: https://trustuscotton.org/Learn more about US Cotton:  https://cottonusa.orgConnect with Will Bettendorf on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-bettendorf-61455a5/Visit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm
