As an executive coach, I often focus on organizational leadership, but sometimes overlook the value of family-owned businesses. These businesses represent a significant portion of the global economy and are the backbone of many communities worldwide. Coaching in that space is very different from coaching in corporations. Navigating family dynamics, generational transitions, and business decisions makes the stakes incredibly high and deeply personal. Join us to hear a fresh perspective from today's guest, who is living out his dreams in the family-owned business space with a burning desire to help others rise and face their challenges. Zach Del Monaco is a dynamic entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, and growth coach who captivates audiences with his powerful story–and he's 23 years old! Known for his hit record speech, he shares his incredible journey overcoming adversity during spinal surgery, transforming the impossible into the possible. He went from living the darkest moments of his life to someone who helps others through life's challenges. Through his insights, Zach empowers others to face their challenges and achieve their own remarkable success. Show Highlights:Zach's story and how his incredible journey has unfoldedTwo options when facing a challengeTaking a bigger role in the family's commercial construction business with a vision for building the company's brand in the online worldBreaking the resistance to his vision within the complexity of a family business and putting his stake in the groundResults over the past 1.5 years since Zach's turning point in challenging his family to think differentlyZach's strategy in offering new transformational ideas for the businessDiffering communication and presentation skills are required in listening/learning, implementing/acting, and understanding others' personalities.Understanding the value of the statement, “What got you HERE won't get you THERE.”Overcoming challenges with drive and determination to find freedom ultimatelyThe addictive, fired-up feeling from sharing with others to help them overcome challengesTakeaways about honoring legacy while pushing toward changeResources:Connect with Zach Del MonacoWebsite and InstagramConnect with MegGet Meg's FREE download, Finding Your Perfect Match: A Coach's Self-Reflection Guide.Explore past episodes and other resources at www.STaRcoachshow.com.

JB Thibodeaux shares how he became the “Duplex King,” scaled pocket developments, and created a $100M+ housing portfolio through innovation and relationships.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with JB Thibodeaux, founder of JB Thibo Homes & Properties and the man known as the “Duplex King.” JB explains how growing up in construction became both an advantage and an Achilles heel — and why relying on hustle alone nearly destroyed his early real estate career.He shares the full story behind his pocket development strategy, how he scaled from flipping to building dozens of duplexes at a time, and how he created an efficient 18x67 duplex design that opened the door to $100M+ worth of sustainable housing projects.JB also breaks down his Duplex Flex Giveaway, a partnership with Prosperity Bank and the NAACP designed to help working-class individuals move from surviving to thriving. He explains why real estate is “the ultimate relationship business,” how he overcame mistakes (like buying 23 houses too fast), and why mindset and delegation drive scale more than construction skills ever could.This is a masterclass in development, mindset, and creating generational wealth.What You'll LearnWhy growing up in construction helped—and hurt—his early careerHow he went from flipping to developing high-density duplex projectsThe innovation behind his 18x67 duplex designHow to avoid overbuilding and manage engineering costsThe biggest mistakes new investors make when scalingWhy relationships matter more than tacticsHow delegation unlocked his ability to growHow the Duplex Flex Giveaway works and who it helpsA practical framework for moving from service provider to developer
Most of us don't realize how quickly the urge hits. You sit down at the DMV, nothing is happening yet, and your hand is already halfway to your pocket. Reaching for our phone has become so automatic that we barely notice it, even though it shapes much more of our behavior than we'd like to admit. In this episode, I look at that micro-moment — the half-second between feeling an urge and acting on it. Your brain wants relief from boredom or discomfort, and the phone promises it instantly. But the urge isn't the problem; what matters is the choice that comes after it. When you pause for even a few seconds, you start to notice the familiar restlessness in your body, the mental chatter, the little spike of anxiety that says, "Just check it once." And if you sit with it long enough, something interesting happens: it peaks, and then it fades. You realize you don't actually have to obey it. That's the skill. Once you see that pattern, you start to see it everywhere. The same reflex that sends your hand to your phone is the reflex that sends you to the pantry when you're stressed, to the couch when you're tired, or to Netflix when you don't want to feel something uncomfortable. A lot of what we call "discipline" comes down to this one micro-moment. The phone just happens to be the perfect training ground. Low stakes, constant reps, and hundreds of chances every day to practice not acting on an impulse. If you can sit through that tiny discomfort without reaching for a screen, you're building the same muscle you need for better nutrition, better sleep, and more consistent training. That muscle shows up at night when you feel the pull to scroll instead of winding down. It shows up in the morning when you're tempted to skip a workout. It shows up any time you feel restless, anxious or overwhelmed, and want something to distract you from the feeling. The more you practice, the more you realize that discomfort isn't danger, and you're still the one making decisions. What I love about this approach is how accessible it is. You don't need a plan, or equipment, or willpower. Just pick one situation — waiting rooms, red lights, the minutes before bed — and let the urge come and go without acting on it. Let your nervous system learn that it's safe without stimulation. When you do that, you're not just breaking a phone habit. You're retraining how you respond to cravings, stress, and fatigue across your entire life. That's the whole point of this episode: to show you how a tiny pause can become one of the most powerful tools you have for changing your behavior, strengthening your attention, and living in a way that feels more intentional and less reactive.

contra el cel d'hivern, una terra de llegendes i promeses enceses.En: The rocks stood out against the winter sky, a land of legends and burning promises.Ca: Martí, amb la seva càmera penjada al coll, es va aturar un instant per capturar aquell paisatge impressionant.En: Martí, with his camera hanging around his neck, paused for a moment to capture that impressive landscape.Ca: A la seva vora, Laia observava amb precaució el cel, notant els núvols foscos que s'apropaven lentament.En: Beside him, Laia cautiously watched the sky, noticing the dark clouds slowly approaching.Ca: "Vols seguir pujant?En: "Do you want to keep climbing?"Ca: ", va preguntar ell, els ulls brillants per l'emoció.En: he asked, his eyes shining with excitement.Ca: "No estic segura", va respondre Laia, intentant ocultar el neguit que sentia a l'estómac.En: "I'm not sure," replied Laia, trying to hide the unease she felt in her stomach.Ca: Era el dia abans de Nadal, i la idea de no tornar a temps per celebrar-ho amb la família la intranquil·litzava.En: It was the day before Christmas, and the idea of not returning in time to celebrate with family unsettled her.Ca: Martí, intrèpid, va alçar el seu braç, assenyalant una senda empinada que serpentejava entre les roques.En: Martí, undaunted, raised his arm, pointing to a steep path winding between the rocks.Ca: "Aquesta serà la foto perfecta pel meu blog", va insistir.En: "This will be the perfect photo for my blog," he insisted.Ca: Laia va sospirar i va assentir amb el cap, malgrat la inquietud que l'assaltava.En: Laia sighed and nodded, despite the anxiety attacking her.Ca: Les dues figures van seguir caminant, trepitjant la neu que començava a cobrir els camins.En: The two figures continued walking, stepping on the snow that began to cover the paths.Ca: Però el temps va canviar ràpidament.En: But the weather changed quickly.Ca: El vent es va despertar amb força, arrossegant flocs de neu al seu camí.En: The wind awoke with force, dragging snowflakes in its path.Ca: Martí no va parar de fer fotos, encantat per la grandiositat de la tempesta que s'apropava.En: Martí didn't stop taking photos, enchanted by the grandeur of the approaching storm.Ca: Però Laia, amb la seva intuïció, va saber que era moment de baixar.En: But Laia, with her intuition, knew it was time to go down.Ca: "Hem de tornar, Martí", va dir amb un to ple d'alarma.En: "We have to go back, Martí," she said with a tone full of alarm.Ca: Ell va somriure, però va veure la determinació d'ella.En: He smiled, but saw her determination.Ca: "Només una mica més i després baixem", va proposar, sempre amb un esperit aventurer.En: "Just a little more and then we'll go down," he proposed, always with an adventurous spirit.Ca: Van seguir caminant, però aviat el vent es va convertir en una broma perillosa, i la neu començava a cobrir-ho tot.En: They continued walking, but soon the wind turned into a dangerous jest, and the snow began to cover everything.Ca: Martí, convençut de conèixer millor el camí, va decidir buscar una drecera.En: Martí, convinced he knew the way better, decided to look for a shortcut.Ca: Laia, per contra, va aturar-se, atrapada entre la por i la necessitat de seguir.En: Laia, on the other hand, stopped, trapped between fear and the need to continue.Ca: Laia va respirar profundament.En: Laia took a deep breath.Ca: Va recordar els consells del seu pare sobre la muntanya i, sentint la valentia despertar-se dins seu, va dir: "No, Martí.En: She remembered her father's advice about the mountain and, feeling courage awaken inside her, said, "No, Martí.Ca: Hem de tornar pel camí segur.En: We have to return by the safe path."Ca: "Martí la va mirar, notant el canvi en ella.En: Martí looked at her, noticing the change in her.Ca: Confia en el criteri de Laia.En: He trusted Laia's judgment.Ca: Junts, van enfilar el camí conegut mentre la tempesta augmentava la seva intensitat al seu voltant.En: Together, they followed the known path as the storm increased its intensity around them.Ca: Va ser un descens difícil.En: It was a difficult descent.Ca: Laia va prendre la iniciativa, guiant cada pas amb cura.En: Laia took the lead, guiding every step carefully.Ca: Martí, admirat, va veure com la seva amiga conqueria les seves pròpies pors.En: Martí, admiring, watched as his friend conquered her own fears.Ca: Quan van arribar a baix, exhaustos però sans i estalvis, la tempesta bufava la seva fúria darrere seu.En: When they reached the bottom, exhausted but safe and sound, the storm blew its fury behind them.Ca: Era tard, pero havien derrotat la muntanya junts.En: It was late, but they had conquered the mountain together.Ca: Aquella nit, a la calor de casa, les llums del Nadal brillaven càlidament.En: That night, in the warmth of home, the Christmas lights shone warmly.Ca: Les famílies de Martí i Laia els van acollir amb abraçades i somriures.En: The families of Martí and Laia welcomed them with hugs and smiles.Ca: Martí va aprendre a respectar no només la natura sinó també la saviesa de Laia.En: Martí learned to respect not only nature but also Laia's wisdom.Ca: I ella, amb un somriure orgullós, va saber que, de vegades, les pors es podien vèncer.En: And she, with a proud smile, knew that sometimes fears could be overcome.Ca: La màgia de Montserrat havia deixat la seva empremta.En: The magic of Montserrat had left its mark.Ca: La muntanya no només havia posat a prova la seva amistat, sinó que també havia forjat noves forces a dins seu.En: The mountain had not only tested their friendship but had also forged new strengths within them.Ca: I així, entre rialles i una taula plena, van celebrar el Nadal més valorat, junts i agraïts.En: And so, amidst laughter and a full table, they celebrated the most cherished Christmas, together and grateful.

Feeling isolated as a neurodivergent man? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April talks modern masculinity for ND men with Josh Fineman, founder of Mensch—a North London community helping guys unplug from pressure and reconnect via men's circles, nature challenges, and 1:1 coaching. For autistic/ADHD young fathers (35-40s sweet spot), Josh addresses loneliness, purpose voids, and disconnection from self—blending ancient wisdom/modern tools for emotional courage and growth. Key insights: Core pressures: Ticking boxes (career/family) while losing self—loneliness from no village support. Men's circles magic: Safety (confidentiality/no fixing) + challenge (calling forward) for shared growth. Nature therapy anxiety: Grounding (feet on grass/breath), tree "waving" for ND calm. Unlocking purpose: Non-linear—trust instincts, small steps (follow curiosity, no one-fix pressure). Vulnerability wins: Brotherhood normalizes it; emerge via community, not solo. If you're an ND man battling isolation, burnout, or "proving" yourself (like Josh's zigzags to mentorship), this ep inspires action. Free call at bemoremensch.com—build your tribe!

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Lucy Biggers, a former climate activist who has undergone a remarkable transformation. Lucy shares her journey from being deeply entrenched in climate activism and suffering from climate anxiety to becoming a voice of reason who now creates content to calm people's environmental fears.We explore how documentaries like "An Inconvenient Truth" and her work at NowThis News shaped her initial worldview, and what specific moments during the COVID pandemic made her question the climate movement's demands. Lucy reveals how becoming a mother changed her perspective on the future and why she now advocates for climate realism over alarmism. We discuss the psychological appeal of climate catastrophism, the actual data on extreme weather and climate-related deaths, and how young people are being affected by environmental anxiety.This conversation examines the intersection of environmental concerns with mental health, exploring how catastrophic thinking about climate can impact life decisions about family, career, and personal wellbeing. Lucy offers a refreshing perspective on why humanity's future might be brighter than many believe, and why gratitude for human progress is essential for mental health.Lucy Biggers makes content to calm climate anxiety on her social media and is the Head of Social Media at The Free Press.

Best D Life with Daniela- Helping You Find the Bliss in Your Busy
In this episode of the Best D Life podcast, I interview self-concept coach Lani Buess about the power of identity work in personal development. Lani shares her journey overcoming social anxiety and explains how shifting self-beliefs -rather than just behaviors -leads to lasting change. We discuss overcoming imposter syndrome, building authentic confidence, and balancing internal and external validation. Lani offers practical insights and resources, and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and embrace support, reinforcing the podcast's mission of empowerment and connection.Lani Buess is a Self-Concept Coach and owns Uplevel with Lani. She works in the area of identity, or the beliefs and ideas we have about ourselves. Lots of people work in the area of behaviors - quitting smoking, losing weight, etc - but changing behavior doesn't necessarily change the way you think about yourself. She felt this was a missing gap in the personal development industry that she wanted to address. Today, she works with high-achieving executives, entrepreneurs, and sales leaders to close the identity gaps that quietly undermine decision-making, stall growth, and cost millions. This isn't therapy. It's not mindset coaching. It's identity architecture, the work that transforms hesitation into decisive leadership in the moments that define careers and shape markets. Her clients don't just perform better under pressure. They accelerate decision-making, shorten sales cycles, close bigger deals, land promotions, lead major transitions, surpass financial glass ceilings, and step into the kind of strategic influence that drives growth. That's the difference between chance outcomes and engineered success.Connect with Lani!

Stay rooted in God's Word, maintain a strong prayer life, and know the Holy Spirit for yourself. Even if you go alone, stay faithful to Jesus till the end.
