Men, the battle is here. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jared Staudt from Exodus 90 to issue a bold call: prepare for spiritual war through St. Michael's Lent, starting August 15th.Your marching orders have arrived. We dive deep into the origins and spiritual power of St. Michael's Lent, a 40-day Catholic challenge inspired by the great St. Francis of Assisi and rooted in ancient tradition. Learn why this penitential season is critical for men today, how the Exodus 90 team has structured it for modern warriors, and why discipline, order, and sacrifice are the weapons we need now more than ever.You'll learn the why behind each discipline and how each is crafted to bring order to your soul, sharpen your spiritual edge, and strengthen your mission as a man of God.We discuss:The spiritual and psychological warfare men face todayThe demonic hatred of order and how discipline drives demons outThe role of St. Michael the Archangel in exorcisms and daily spiritual combatWhy rest, leisure, and celebrating the Lord's Day are battle strategies, not indulgencesHow true fraternity unlocks spiritual breakthroughs men cannot achieve aloneChallenge Issued in this Episode: Step into the breach. Find a fraternity. Get the app. Sign up for St. Michael's Lent. Offer your disciplines for your family. Wake up at 2 a.m. and pray like the Desert Fathers. Let your body rest and your soul fight. The Church needs men who are ready. Are you one of them?Key Takeaway:Order is a weapon. Demons hate structure. Your disciplines form a spiritual perimeter. Build it. Guard it. Live it.Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:“When you wake up in the night and everyone else is asleep, you're not breaking off from work or putting your phone down — you're just entering right into prayer.”“We're not called to suffer pointlessly. Every act of self-denial must have a purpose — for God, for your wife, for your children, for your brothers.”“Saint Michael didn't negotiate with evil. He cast it out. Men today need that same fire in their hearts.”Featured Resources & Products:Exodus 90 App – https://exodus90.com --> SIGN UP TODAY!St. Michael's Lent – Begins August 15thBeer of Norcia – Brewed by Benedictine monks (mentioned by Dr. Staudt)Books by Dr. Jared Staudt:How the Eucharist Can Save CivilizationThe Primacy of GodWords Made FleshFollow Exodus 90 on all social media platforms hereSend us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Earlier this week, Indiana Governor Mike Braun fired the three alumni-elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees and installed three of his own picks.In a last-minute amendment to the state budget this session, Braun was granted control of all nine of IU's trustees by the general assembly. Previously, six were named by the governor and three were selected by alumni.One of the fired trustees, Vivian Winston, had just one month left in her term.Read more: Braun defends move on IU trustees while terminated members speak outThe move was more of what critics see as government overreach of the university.Last month, IU and other state schools closed their offices of diversity, equity and inclusion after being threatened with a loss of funding. And, due to cuts at the federal and state level, IU is looking to cut $100 million from next year's budget, while also freezing in-state tuition for the next two years.Read more: As threats to DEI grow, students, community members fear what could be lostIndiana University isn't alone among schools facing pressure from the government to eliminate anything related to DEI, curb antisemitism on campuses and protect free speech.

The leaders I work with want to be the kind of leaders who can handle complexity without defaulting to blame, shame, or shutting down.But when visibility and accountability collide with unhealed relational wounding, it doesn't matter how many books we've read or retreats we've attended; our bodies remember. And it can feel deeply uncomfortable.Discomfort is part of the gig, though. If we let it, it moves us towards being better humans to ourselves and others. True accountability may not always lead to repair and reconnection, but it is a profoundly relational and humanizing practice led by values, justice, and grace.But when discomfort turns to shame, accountability feels threatening rather than connective. And when we fear accountability and its discomfort, it causes more harm.The work of unburdening is never entirely over, but as Dr. Richard Schwartz reminded me in today's fifth anniversary conversation, the more unburdened we are, the more accountable we become. The more we desire justice. The more we want to see change. It's a powerful affirmation of what's possible when we commit to being Unburdened Leaders.Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients' parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would spontaneously experience the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts.A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.Listen to the full episode to hear:How being in Self allows us to act assertively without igniting defensivenessHow IFS can help us maintain our empathy and compassion without burning outThe challenges and risks of the rapid popularization of IFS via social mediaWhy being in Self is a continuum not a binaryWhy Dr. Schwartz has a pep talk with his parts every day, even after decades of doing the workHow he's navigating increasing media exposure while staying true to his values and IFS principlesHow Self creates a natural desire for accountability in our inner and outer worldsLearn more about Dr. Richard Schwartz:IFS InstituteLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader Email

Welcome to a very special episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show. I'm celebrating 100 episodes—100 opportunities to pull back the curtain and share the real, unfiltered truth about what it actually takes to consistently attract high-quality clients and scale a service-based business.I started this podcast because I was tired of watching smart, capable business owners get crushed by false promises, recycled marketing fluff, and outdated advice. The truth is, generating clients isn't magic. It's not guesswork. It's a system. And when you apply the right strategy with consistency, it works.In this solo episode, I'm walking you through what hasn't changed in marketing since day one, the biggest myths that are keeping online entrepreneurs stuck, and what's actually working in 2025 to grow your business online. I'm also sharing my four-step Social Media Sales Machine—the exact process I use for myself and every single client inside The BAM Agency. Plus, you'll hear how I use AI tools like ChatGPT to scale my business, streamline my day-to-day, and yes… even bleach my 12-year-old's hair pink. Let's dive in.The Truth About Getting Clients in 2025 - Key TakeawaysFoundational strategies still drive results—tools evolve, but principles stay the sameDMs are where trust is built and sales happenIn today's noisy digital world, trust is more valuable than trafficGoing viral isn't the goal—getting specific isStrategic visibility is how online coaches attract dream clients without burning outThe more dialed-in your niche, the faster your business growsAI isn't replacing you—it's your creative and strategic advantageWhat Hasn't Changed Since Episode 1People are still people. Whether you're a service-based business owner, business coach, or consultant, your clients crave real connection—not gimmicks. You don't need to show up at every event or constantly chase trends. Consistent, intentional content and real conversations online are still what build a loyal, buying audience.Highlights from Past Guest EpisodesJohn Lee Dumas reminded us that the “Riches are in the Niches.” If you're still afraid to go narrow with your offer, that fear might be the very thing holding you back.Marques Ogden taught us to walk into the storm like a bison—because real growth, especially in business, comes from embracing discomfort.Steve Cadigan gave us a look into the future of work and AI. We both agree: AI is here to amplify, not replace, your brilliance.Big Marketing Myths Keeping You Stuck“I just need to post more.” No—you need to post better. One of my clients posted daily for three years with no growth. Her message was too broad. We clarified her niche, built a clear system, and now she creates content in one hour a month—and is consistently closing clients.“I need to go viral.” Nope. You need to get your message in front of the right people. Visibility without strategy is noise.“I'll wait until things settle down.” The truth? This is the moment. The business owners who take action now are the ones who rise.Real Conversations = Real ClientsIf your content isn't leading to DMs, something's broken. Conversations are where the magic happens. I coach all my clients to use the 25-50-5 method: 25 new friend requests, 50 thoughtful feed interactions, and 5 intentional DMs every day. Be honest—Aunt Sally isn't your ideal client. Engage where it counts.Strategic Visibility Beats Endless PostingYour dream clients don't care how many posts you've scheduled—they care whether you understand their pain and can help transform it. When I appeared on Netflix, I met influencers with massive followings who weren't making money. Why? Because visibility without direction doesn't convert. You're not here for likes—you're here to...
