What if you're not stuck… you've just mastered your current level?In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason your income keeps landing at the same number and it's probably not what you think. It's not about working harder, chasing more leads, or adding another strategy. Most agents hit an income ceiling because their operating system hasn't evolved with their growth.I see this pattern with new agents, top producers, and even seven-figure businesses. The hustle that got you here won't take you to the next level. And if you feel like you're doing more but earning the same… this conversation is going to challenge how you look at your business structure, capacity, and leverage.If you've ever felt plateaued, restless, or like you're pushing against an invisible ceiling, this episode is for you.Things I Cover In This EpisodeWhy repeating income numbers is a structure problem not a motivation problemThe difference between hustle-driven growth vs system-driven capacityThe simple formula: Leads × Conversion × Capacity = IncomeWhere most agents unknowingly create their own income ceilingThe hidden role your operating system plays in scaling beyond six and seven figuresHow decision fatigue and fragile systems limit your growthThe three real ways to create income jumps without burning outWhy high-level agents focus on capacity first, not just volumeIf this episode made you realize you've outgrown your current structure, it might be time to upgrade your operating system. Inside my virtual and in-person workshops, we don't just talk strategy, we install the systems and structure that raise your income ceiling.Head to letsplaybigger.com to learn more about upcoming workshops and coaching programs.And if this episode hit home for you, share it with a friend and tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq.

In this episode of Brews and Business, the hosts reflect on what the podcast has meant to them—both personally and professionally and dive into the real, unfiltered realities of business ownership. They talk about missing the rhythm of consistent conversations with like-minded entrepreneurs, how podcasting sharpened their communication and interviewing skills, and why being on camera helped them gain confidence when connecting with high-level professionals. The conversation also explores the mindset shift that comes with business ownership, setting boundaries with clients, and why many entrepreneurs feel “officially unemployable.” The episode wraps with an honest discussion about economic uncertainty, industry stagnation, and how rapid change especially after the COVID has impacted service-based businesses. From four-day work weeks to weathering slowdowns, this episode is about finding rhythm, protecting mental health, and staying grounded when the business world feels unpredictable. Key Notes / TakeawaysPodcasting created consistency, rhythm, and meaningful conversations outside the daily grindHosting a podcast improves communication, curiosity, interviewing, and sales skillsBeing on camera builds confidence and reduces intimidation when networkingHigh-level professionals are “just people too,” making connection easierBusiness ownership creates a fundamentally different mindset than employmentMany owners feel tempted to clock in, clock out, and let problems be “not my problem”Financial freedom allows flexibility and future career shiftsSetting boundaries is essential—even if it costs clientsA four-day work week (or closed Fridays) significantly improves mental healthDigital businesses often face unrealistic 24/7 client expectationsNot every fire needs to be put out immediately—some resolve themselvesEconomic stagnation is harder than clear downturns because it stalls decision-makingMarketing and landscaping are often cut first during tight economic timesCOVID created a temporary boom in home-based industries, followed by a correctionToo much change too fast prevents businesses from finding a new rhythmEpisode Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Reflecting on the PodcastWhy the rhythm of consistent conversations was missed04:30 – What Podcasting Teaches YouCommunication, curiosity, interviewing, and confidence growth10:15 – Networking Without IntimidationRealizing industry leaders are just people15:40 – “Officially Unemployable” MindsetWhy business owners think differently than employees21:10 – The Allure of Clocking In and OutWhy owners sometimes want fewer responsibilities26:30 – Financial Freedom & Career FlexibilityRethinking lifelong careers and future business ideas33:45 – Setting Boundaries with ClientsWhy saying no matters more than saying yes39:20 – The Four-Day Work Week ExperimentMental health, team morale, and closing on Fridays46:10 – Losing Clients by Creating BoundariesWhy it's sometimes necessary—and worth it52:30 – Fires That Can WaitLetting problems resolve themselves57:40 – Business Stagnation & Economic UncertaintyWhy not knowing is worse than knowing things are bad1:04:15 – Industries Hit First in Tough TimesMarketing, landscaping, and service-based businesses1:10:00 – Post-COVID Business RealityFrom boom to crunch and finding a new normal1:15:30 – Too Much Change, Too FastWhy businesses need time to reset and find rhythmBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support.

At VEST, we talk a lot about careers, money, and women's economic mobility. But here's the truth: you can't fully talk about women building power without talking about the systems that taught us what we're allowed to want—and what we should quietly accept.For many of us, that system was religion.In this episode of the VEST Podcast, Erika sits down with Reverend Lori Walke for an honest, grounded conversation about what happens when faith becomes complicated, especially for women who grew up inside religious institutions that preached love, but practiced control.What we talk about in this episodeHow women learn “their place” and how to unlearn itSeparating the message from the messengersDeconstruction without losing yourselfReligious trauma is real and you have permission to leaveWhen religion becomes a political weaponHow women stay engaged without burning outWhy this matters for women's careers and economic mobilityDeconstructing harmful spiritual narratives isn't a side quest. It's part of building a life where women can earn, lead, rest, belong, and thrive, without shrinking.For our guest full bio and show notes (including book recommendations) click here.

Stepping into your first leadership role can feel overwhelming, and navigating autism services as a parent can feel even harder, even when you're already in the field.In this episode, I sat down with Rayni McMahon for a powerful conversation about leadership, advocacy, and what happens when your professional world and personal life collide. We talked about what it really feels like to move from clinician to administrator, why so many professionals feel unprepared for leadership roles, and the one thing that can make that transition feel more manageable. Rayni shared practical, honest insights about mentorship, managing people, setting boundaries, and learning to lead with both confidence and compassion.We also spent time talking about advocacy from a deeply personal lens. Rayni opened up about her experience as a BCBA navigating the system as a parent of an autistic child and how being “in the know” did not make accessing services easier. Her perspective highlights just how complex and exhausting the system can be, even for professionals, and why empathy, persistence, and advocacy matter so much for families.This conversation is thoughtful, relatable, and full of takeaways for anyone who is stepping into leadership, supporting teams, or advocating for children and families within our field.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How to navigate the transition from clinician to leader without burning outWhy mentorship and leadership support are critical in growing organizationsThe realities of advocating for autism services, even as a professionalLessons on balancing leadership, boundaries, and empathyMentioned In This Episode:Virtue Healthcare ConsultingRayni Brindley McMahon on LinkedInEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Parenting pressure can feel exhausting even when nothing is “wrong.” This episode explores the hidden roles parents step into, why they create strain, and how identity-level recalibration allows you to release responsibility without losing authority.Many parents feel exhausted without being able to point to a clear reason why.They're still showing up.Still caring deeply.Still doing what needs to be done.And yet, something feels heavy.In this Tuesday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides listeners through the Release stage of identity-level recalibration — the moment when we begin to loosen the roles we've been carrying out of habit, not necessity.These roles often formed during seasons when stability, safety, or emotional regulation depended on us stepping in. They were not mistakes. They were intelligent responses to real needs. But what once protected something important can quietly become exhausting when it's no longer required in the same way.This episode is an invitation to understand — without shame — the over-functioning parental roles many high-capacity humans step into, and how releasing them does not mean losing authority, care, or connection.In this episode, you'll explore:Why parenting exhaustion often comes from roles, not effortHow over-functioning develops as a protective response, not a flawWhat happens in the nervous system when responsibility never clocks outWhy releasing a role does not mean disengaging or becoming less capableHow presence often becomes steadier — not weaker — when pressure easesJulie weaves together relational insight, nervous system awareness, and identity-level reframing to show why this work is not about doing less — but about releasing what no longer belongs.This is not mindset work.It's not a productivity adjustment.And it's not another parenting strategy.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) addresses the root — allowing pressure to release so clarity, authority, and ease can return naturally.This episode prioritizes orientation over urgency, understanding before action, and companionship over correction.Today's Micro RecalibrationFinish this sentence gently, without fixing or justifying:“One role I keep stepping into with my child that feels heavy is…”Awareness is enough for today.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Why Simple Scales (And Complexity Is Costing You More Than You Think)One of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs plateau is because their business has become too complex. Too many offers. Too many audiences. Too many moving parts pulling their focus in different directions.And complexity doesn't scale.Simple scales.If you want to scale your revenue, your impact, your freedom, the answer isn't doing more.It's focusing on doing less, but better.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The missing link between being stuck at six figures and scaling to seven in a way that actually feels sustainableThe 5 Ps of an Unshakable Model and how simplifying each one helps you reduce friction, sharpen focus, and build momentum without burning yourself outWhy adding more offers, audiences, or strategies often slows growth instead of accelerating itNext Steps:If you're listening to this and you're tired of guessing your way to the next level, I created a roadmap that shows you exactly how to scale to consistent hundred-thousand-dollar months with more freedom and far less stress.This is the operating system behind sustainable growth, the same structure I teach my clients to help them step out of the weeds and actually enjoy their business again.If you want it, DM me “ROADMAP” on Instagram and I'll send it to you.Explore more to help you build unshakable:Check out free trainings and tools hereConnect with Kathryn on InstagramWhere we can Connect:Follow the Podcast Follow The Unshakable Company on InstagramFollow The Unshakable Company on FacebookEnjoying the Podcast?Are you following Building Unshakable?

In this episode, I'm joined by Sydney Park — a 21-year-old ultrarunner who ran her 100-mile debut in under 20 hours, stacks 100-mile weeks, and is fully committed to chasing a professional career in ultrarunning.What makes Sydney special isn't just her results — it's how she trains and how she thinks.We talk about how she went from not even knowing what an ultramarathon was at 18… to racing sub-20 at Javelina, winning ultras, surviving backyard races, and building a level of consistency most runners struggle to find.We dive into:How she structures 100-mile weeks without burning outWhy running easy actually matters more than people thinkHow she uses doubles to increase volume safelyThe strength training staples that have kept her nearly injury-freeWhy flexibility beats rigid discipline in long-term trainingThe mental framework she uses when races get hardHow chasing a big goal changed her confidence and identityWhy keeping promises to yourself is the real key to consistencyThis episode is for runners who want to:Train smarter, not just harderBuild consistency without obsession or burnoutThink bigger about what's possible in the sportStop underestimating themselvesIf you're chasing big goals — or afraid to even say them out loud — this conversation will change how you approach your training.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

If you have ever said to yourself, "I know what to do, I just cant stay consistent", this episode is for you.Most people don't struggle because of lack of discipline or motivation. They struggle because they've broken trust with themselves, again and again. They start, stop, reset and repeat...over and over. And, it feels like cycle they just can't break. Sound like you? Good! Because, it sounded like me, too.In this episode, we break down why consistency is not a motivation problem, but an identity issue. And how building simple, trustworthy structure changes everything.I share:Why motivation ALWAYS runs outWhy consistency comes before disciplineWhy broken promises lead to lack of confidenceHow to build a lifestyle that works even when life isn't perfectIf you are tired of starting over and ready to stop doing this alone, youve come to the right place!Video of the podcast is available on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/qZOWVd6MW9UIf you would like to join many others in, The Consistency Lab, click the link belowhttps://stan.store/aaronsimpsonofficial

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't discipline, motivation, or opportunity — but the belief system you've been living on since childhood? In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense breaks down how our earliest experiences — family dynamics, school labels, trauma, comparison, and survival — quietly shape the script we live our lives by. And if that script is wrong, everything built on top of it will eventually crack.This conversation is raw, reflective, and foundational. It's about identity. It's about resilience. And it's about rebuilding your life on something stronger than opinions, labels, or survival instincts.If you've ever felt like:You're doing “all the right things” but still feel behindYou're fighting invisible battles no one seesYou've outgrown who you were, but don't fully know who you are becomingThis episode is for you.How childhood experiences silently shape adult belief systemsWhy comparing yourself to others creates self-sabotageThe danger of believing you are “less than”Why motivation fails without a solid foundationHow faith reframes identity, resilience, and purposeWhat it actually means to rebuild your life from the inside outWhy you don't need a new personality — you need a new scriptWhat do I believe about myself — and who taught me that?This episode also speaks directly to those wrestling with faith, doubt, and exhaustion. If you're tired of chasing meaning, validation, or identity outside yourself — this is an invitation to examine what you're standing on.Instagram (Personal): https://instagram.com/kingno_Instagram (Podcast): https://instagram.com/mindbullypodcastListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1l0FZP7IfsKKT19tSICklXListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-bully/id1586471094If this episode helped you:Leave a rating & reviewShare it with someone who's questioning their identitySubscribe so you don't miss what's coming nextYour support helps this message reach the people who need it most.

Send us a textIn this episode of Concrete Genius Pod, Sauce Mackenzie goes all the way in—no fluff, no tap dancing.We talk about sexual discipline and power, and why Black men in high-visibility positions can't afford sloppy boundaries. From the Michigan coaching situation to the way scandals get handled differently depending on who you are, we break down the real-world consequences of impulse, ego, and “I'm untouchable” thinking.Then we shift to the NFL and media narratives—why a white quarterback's frustration gets framed as “honest” and “human,” while a Black quarterback saying the same thing gets labeled “ungrateful.” We also talk relationships, access, audacity, and why understanding the rules is more important than being emotional about them.If you're trying to build wealth, protect your name, and move smarter in a world that doesn't grade everybody equally—this one's for you.

Nigel Best doesn't have time for your bullshit. He's too busy welding gates, rotating cattle, building spiral staircases, and conducting “illicit beef transactions” in Craigslist parking lots.Missouri woodworker and regenerative rancher Nigel Best joins Jason and Nate to talk about what it actually takes to make a living on the land—without going broke, without selling your soul, and without waiting for Washington to save you.In this episode:Why coming up hard isn't a strategy (but flat tires and crooked fingers are part of the deal)The truth about rotational grazing: genius in wet years, dumbass in droughtsHow to raise beef when customers complain about prices and the president says you're greedyThe case for land value tax as the only moral tax (and why nobody's entitled to your heartbeats)Why the informal economy beats W-2 farms and digital surveillance every timeMeat packer monopolies vs. the last stand of independent ranchersTwo competing theories of change: political antitrust warfare or agorist opt-outWhy every kid should work construction with crotchety old men before graduating high schoolFair warning: Nigel solves exactly zero problems in this episode. What he does offer is three decades of hard-won wisdom from someone who's actually been “out there in the rain at midnight with their hand up a cow.” No Instagram-perfect farm content. No verbatim regurgitation of regenerative ag books. Just the unvarnished reality of feeding yourself, your family, and your neighbors in a system designed to extract value from everyone who touches it.If you're tired of influencers peddling theories and want to hear from someone who's actually dragging their knuckles through it, this one's for you.Guest: Nigel Best (@NigelBest5)Hosts: Jason & NateTopics: Regenerative Agriculture, Land Tax, Agorism, Beef Industry, Rural Economics, Informal Markets
In this solo episode, I'm talking about one of the most underrated success metrics in business and marketing - consistency.I just got back from speaking at the American Bridal Consultants Association's World of Wedding Events in New Orleans, and I left so inspired by the community of wedding professionals who've been showing up for decades. It reminded me how powerful consistency really is - whether it's showing up for your audience, your clients, or yourself.I'm pulling back the curtain on how staying consistent with this podcast helped it become an industry-recognized resource (even when it wasn't perfect), and how you can apply that same mindset to your social media and business.If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or keeping up with your content, this episode is your reminder that showing up (even imperfectly!) is what leads to success.

This conversation hit deep.I invited Annie Gichuru onto Entrepreneur School because her AI Bias Guide stopped me in my tracks. Annie is a leading Racial Equity Coach & Consultant, and she's one of the contributors inside my Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle.We went way beyond “AI tips.” Annie opened my eyes to the invisible gaps in our businesses when we believe kindness equals inclusion—and why AI is never neutral. From filters that don't recognize darker skin to community platforms that flag “foreign” names as spam, bias shows up in ways you may not even see.This episode is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to build more intentionally inclusive brands—because as Annie says, the goal isn't perfection, it's reducing harm.We unpack:Why “AI isn't neutral”—and how data, algorithms and human inputs all carry biasThe difference between not intentionally excluding and intentionally includingReal examples of tech bias that impact people every dayHow to prompt AI through your values, not just your voiceA simple self-audit that reveals who you're serving—and who you might be leaving outWhy reducing harm (not aiming for perfect) is the most powerful commitment you can make Guest Links & BioMeet Annie Gichuru Annie Gichuru is a leading Racial Equity Coach & Consultant for online entrepreneurs.

Have you ever felt like you're the only one facing challenges while everyone else has it all together? Maybe you've also experienced the opposite–people overlook your struggles due to your success.Here's the reality: everyone struggles–even the most capable, successful people. When we're in the thick of it, it's easy to feel isolated, judged, and wonder if we're the only one who has to overcome challenges. This podcast is about understanding what it really means to master life–it's not about checking boxes, but learning to lean into self-connection as we face the challenges of life that come our way.In this episode, I talk about this topic with one of my good friends and colleagues, Kris Jones. You've probably heard Kris on the podcast before–she is a copywriter who specializes in story brand copy, and she is a brilliant businesswoman. Alongside that success, just like all of us, there have been some significant challenges in Kris's life. Today, Kris Jones shares her story of navigating challenges with her son, handling judgment from others, balancing her thriving business with her personal life, and ultimately finding strength and joy in the midst of it all.We often compare our internal experiences–the emotions, the struggles, the despair–with what we see on the exterior of someone else's life. But comparison never gives the full story. We all face challenges that others may not see, just as we're often blind to the hardships among others' achievements. No one is exempt from having to overcome challenges—you are not alone. Let's dive into learning how to face life challenges with honesty, resilience, and connection to ourselves.What you'll learn:The importance of self-connection and working with your own nervous system when facing life challengesWhy it's human to feel sadness and grief when facing judgment from othersHow to navigate business success and personal challenges without burning outWhy you don't need to feel guilty about finding a creative escape during difficult timesThe key to staying the course and not giving up when you face challenges in lifeYou can read the full show notes here.About Kris Jones:Most coaches don't have a marketing problem—they have a messaging problem. Your dream clients are likely visiting your website and quietly clicking away, not because your offer isn't valuable, but because your story isn't clear. After 23 years crafting stories for brands like Nike and Adidas, Kris Jones discovered a game-changing truth: a single, well-told story can replace all your marketing and double your revenue. As a hand-selected mentee of StoryBrand's Donald Miller and founder of Red Door Stories, she's helped hundreds of coaches transform their websites into 24/7 client-attracting machines. Marketing overwhelm ends when you tell the right story. Let Kris show you how.Website: https://www.reddoorstories.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddoordesign/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/reddoorportland/?fref=tsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reddoordesigns/YouTube:
