Wendy brings her expertise on color trends, revealing that deep jewel tones like hunter green and Bordeaux are making a comeback. She argues that while many have overdone the '50 shades of gray' look, it's time to embrace vibrant hues that reflect our personalities and lifestyles. The conversation moves beyond color palettes to practical tips on choosing the right sheens and finishes, emphasizing that the way a paint looks can dramatically shift based on the lighting and the surfaces being painted.

    Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt calmer, more energised, or strangely unsettled, without being able to explain why? What if the colours surrounding you right now aren’t just decoration, but a silent language speaking directly to your nervous system, shaping how you feel, what you choose, and even how you behave? In this eye-opening episode, we decode the hidden world of colour psychology and reveal something most people never consider: colour isn’t just something you see. It’s something you feel. While we spend hours choosing what to wear, what to paint our walls, and what brands to trust, we rarely stop to ask why certain shades pull us in and others push us away. The answer lies in your brain, and once you understand it, you’ll never look at colour the same way again. This episode reveals four transformative insights about how colour quietly architects your emotional world and how to use that knowledge to your advantage. The Hidden Language of Hues: Every colour you encounter is whispering directly to your nervous system. Neuroscience shows that when light hits your eyes, it sends signals straight to the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that governs emotion, energy, and even hormones. Bright yellows and oranges activate dopamine and serotonin, your brain’s happiness chemicals. Soft blues and greens lower cortisol, helping you relax and focus. That calm you feel in your doctor’s waiting room? That’s blue doing its job. The hunger that hits you in a fast-food restaurant? That’s red and yellow working in tandem. Your environment is constantly priming your mood, and colour is the quiet architect of your entire emotional landscape. The question is: are you choosing your palette, or is it choosing you? Red, the Power and the Passion: Red is primal. It’s the colour of fire, blood, and survival, and it grabs your focus faster than any other hue. That’s why it dominates stop signs, sale banners, and even lipstick. It signals energy, urgency, and desire. In marketing, red is known to increase heart rate and stimulate action. Think of fast-food logos with their bold reds paired with yellow, designed to make you hungry and decisive. But red isn’t just a tool for advertisers. In your personal world, it can be a powerful ally when used intentionally. A touch of red in your workspace can fuel motivation. Red in your wardrobe can help you exude confidence and passion. The key is remembering that red is powerful, and a little goes a long way. Blue and Green, Calm, Trust, and Growth: If red is fire, blue is water. Blue evokes trust, stability, and calm, which is exactly why it dominates the corporate world. From tech companies to healthcare brands, blue says “you can trust me.” It slows the heart rate, clears the mind, and invites focus. Then there’s green, the colour of life itself. It represents balance, renewal, and growth. Studies show that even brief exposure to green, like plants or nature scenes, can lower stress and enhance creativity. If you want peace in your bedroom, think ocean. If you want productivity in your office, think forest. These aren’t just aesthetic choices. They’re neurological ones. The Surprising Influence on Your Decisions: Colour doesn’t just influence how you feel. It shapes what you choose. Marketers have known this for decades. The colour of a “Buy Now” button can increase clicks by 30%. Restaurants use warm tones to make you order faster, while luxury brands use black, gold, and deep navy to evoke sophistication and control. Even social media platforms deploy colour psychology, with blue encouraging trust and engagement, red grabbing attention, and green signalling success. But here’s the empowering part: you can use this same psychology consciously. Want to feel confident during a presentation? Wear navy or emerald. Need focus while studying? Surround yourself with cool tones that calm the nervous system. When you understand colour, you stop being influenced by it unconsciously and start using it to design your emotional reality. This isn’t just an episode about colour. It’s an invitation to stop reacting to your environment and start creating it. What if your mood wasn’t random? What if the colours in your life were shaping your energy, your focus, and your happiness every single day? Science tells us they are. And the beauty is that you can choose your palette. Start small. Add a plant to your desk. Paint one wall a colour that lifts your mood. Wear a shade that makes you feel unstoppable. Then notice what shifts. Because every hue has a heartbeat, and once you start listening, your world begins to change from the inside out. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

    Finding a balance between career and creativity. Have you ever built a "successful" career only to realize it was draining the very creativity you intended to nurture? Artist Emily-Jane Sarroff spent a decade navigating the worlds of architecture and high-level business consulting before realizing that her most important work was the art she made for herself. Emily-Jane shares her journey of deconstructing the "societal programming" that linked her worth to her career and explains why she recently pivoted to real estate to provide her nervous system the safety it needed to create again.In this episode, we discuss:The "Disappointment" Narrative: How the internal pressure to succeed led Emily-Jane away from her creative roots after high school.The Architecture Trap: Why a "creative" degree can sometimes feel more technical than expressive, and the brave decision to "leap" away from a career that wasn't fuelling her soul.Choosing Self over Scale: Why Emily-Jane closed a successful, six-figure business to stop "proving herself" and start living from a heart space.“Weird and Woo Woo” Art: A look into Emily-Jane's spiritual, abstract style and why she prioritizes creating for her own healing and expression rather than for commissions.Practical Creativity: How to set up a permanent art space (even in a garage corner!) and the importance of scheduling “buffer zones” to transition your brain from logical work to creative flow.You might also like:Rediscovering the Inner Artist with Kerry LyonsPeonies, Paint and Personal Growth with Sally Jean FoxSociety, Stereotypes and Sparkle with Jessie ElliottClick here to buy Samantha EJ Button's poetry collection Not Wholesome Content I would love some financial support to help me to keep making this podcast.

    On this episode of Home in Progress, Dan Hansen sits down with Ginger Herman of Suprins Group at Five Star Real Estate Leaders for a timely 2026 West Michigan real estate update — plus a behind-the-scenes look at Ginger's own ski chalet renovation.Ginger explains that as winter fades, Michigan's spring market is heating up. Inventory remains tight but is improving, particularly in the $350,000–$400,000 range. Bidding wars are still happening, though not as frenzied as previous years. Mortgage rates have eased compared to last year, hovering in the high-5% to low-6% range, while home prices continue their steady climb.For sellers preparing to list, Ginger emphasizes the fundamentals: deep cleaning, decluttering, and addressing small deferred repairs. Strategic prep depends on your pricing goals and neighborhood comparables — but presentation still matters.In the second half of the episode, Ginger shares the story of purchasing and refreshing a fully furnished 1970s ski chalet rental — complete with orange accents and dated finishes. Instead of gutting the character, she leaned into it. Keeping the black trim and wood floors, she updated the space with Benjamin Moore Ballet White and Sweet Rosie Brown, using Scuff-X for durability in a high-traffic rental. With guidance from a color specialist and expert advice on finishes for tall, light-filled walls, the chalet now feels fresh while honoring its roots.A practical market update and a real-world paint transformation — all in one conversation.EPISODE TIMELINE00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:24 Winter Walk Mirror Moment03:32 Spring Market Warming Up05:09 Inventory and Buyer Segments07:00 Mortgage Rates and Pricing08:44 Offers and Timing Strategy11:03 Seller Prep and Touchups13:23 Deep Clean and Declutter18:14 Contact Info and Break19:19 Ski Chalet Project Begins20:15 Buying the Chalet Fast20:57 Renovation Plans and Style21:57 Seventies Decor Tour23:15 Renovation Vision24:26 Color Plan With Hailey27:18 Neutrals Versus Cabin Dark28:51 Bathroom Color Pop29:34 Paint Finish And Scuff X32:06 Why Experts Matter33:49 Wrap Up And Furnishings34:33 Rentals And Repeat Guests35:56 Consultations And Store Help38:27 Company Experience And Thanks39:17 Contact Info And Sign Off

    In Part 3 of The Lonely Artist series, we talk about something practical — but deeply emotional. Do you even have a place to paint? What if your “studio” is the corner of the laundry room? What if your supplies are tucked away in a closet and hard to reach? What if you feel isolated not just emotionally — but physically? In this episode, we explore: • Feeling stifled when you don't have a dedicated art space • Painting in shared or temporary environments • The emotional weight of not having room for your creativity • Creating a portable or flexible home studio • Overcoming the belief that you “can't really be an artist” • Giving yourself permission to claim space — even if it's small Being an artist doesn't require a perfect studio. It requires intention. Sometimes it begins at the kitchen table. Sometimes in the laundry room. Sometimes in a quiet corner no one else notices. But the act of making space — physically and emotionally — is where identity begins. If you've ever felt like you don't quite have room to be an artist, this conversation is for you. Online courses

    Welcome to the conversation with Aida Smith!Learn more about Aida Smith:WEBSITE | INSTAGRAMMany artists assume that building serious skills requires huge blocks of free time.Aida Smith proves otherwise.With a full-time career, a long commute, and a firmly established professional identity outside the art world, she has built a meaningful and increasingly confident painting practice over the past five years.In this conversation, we talk about what it really takes to grow as a painter while working full-time, the color mixing breakthrough that changed everything for her, and how rethinking failure allowed her to keep showing up.If you've ever said, “I just don't have enough time,” this episode will challenge that belief in a practical way.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How Smith  structured her painting practice around a full-time jobWhy commute time and lunch breaks can meaningfully build skillThe color mixing shift that transformed her confidenceA simple way to adjust color using red, yellow, or blueHow to think about failure in a way that keeps you showing upWhy simplifying shapes strengthens a paintingHow she decides whether to keep a painting or wipe it downWhy she paints with solvent-free oils and questions traditional rulesBuilding Skill in Real LifeSmith did not grow up identifying as an artist. Painting was not her childhood identity.Her entry point was photography. Painting returned later, first as a stress reliever during a demanding job, and eventually as something she chose to take seriously.She paints and draws at night. On weekends. During commutes. During lunch breaks.And she is clear about something many artists resist hearing:Skill takes longer than you hope.Growth happened over years of sketchbooks. Years of mixing colors poorly before it clicked. Years of showing up even when the work felt frustrating.This is not a story about finding more time. It is about using the time that already exists.Extended Cut Bonus [Patreon]In this bonus episode, Smith explains how shifting to a very limited palette transformed her color mixing and brought instant harmony to her work. She shares the exact colors she relies on, why she prioritizes value over perfect color matches, and how a simple “mother color” keeps everything cohesive.Get practical tips sent straight to your inbox.

    home profit Make Your Home Work Harder (Profit + Remodel Strategy) | Episode 589 Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's 39 degrees, and today we're talking about making your home work harder. This one's twofold. Part one: remodeling strategically in a broken housing market.Part two: turning your house from a pure expense into something that actually produces. The housing market sucks right now. That's just reality. But that doesn't mean you're powerless. The Housing Market Is Skewed — Use That Starter homes are struggling. Lower-tier houses are sitting. But higher-end houses? Selling like crazy. Million-dollar homes are moving because people with that kind of money don't care about rates the same way. That skews the data. People see $400k homes selling and assume everything is hot — but that doesn't help someone trying to get into their first house. If you're buying right now, one strategy is simple: buy under your ceiling. Know your range. Don't stretch yourself to death. Look at homes that need a little TLC. Cosmetic stuff. Cabinets. Paint. Fixtures. Appliances. Flooring. Those are solvable. Over time, you remodel intelligently and build equity yourself. If you're already in a house, the same concept applies. Pick one room at a time. Kitchen. Bathroom. Flooring. Do it in phases. At the end? You either: Have a fully remodeled home you love Or you sell at a higher value and move up But your strategy matters. If your goal is resale, you remodel based on trends — not your personal taste. Sage green cabinets? Trendy. I hate them. Doesn't matter. If the goal is ROI, you follow market taste. Black kitchens? Also trendy. Not my thing. If it's your forever home? Then build for you. Two totally different goals. Yard = Wasted Opportunity Most people see yard work as a chore. Leaves? Trash.Rainwater runoff? Waste.Space? Decorative. Wrong mindset. Leaves are free compost input. Not just your leaves — your neighbors' leaves too. Compost them down and: Stop buying compost Sell compost Sell compost tea Turn a waste stream into revenue You're literally converting trash into product. That's how you make a home work harder. Gardening Isn't Just Food — It's Leverage Growing your own vegetables reduces grocery bills. But microgreens? That's a business. The profit margins on microgreens are insane if you run it correctly. Small greenhouse. Controlled setup. Scalable. You need to run the numbers. But the ceiling is there. Even if you don't sell: Growing salads = not buying salads Growing vegetables = not buying vegetables Saving seeds = compounding future production If you're watering plants with rainwater you collected off your own roof, from seeds you saved from food you grew? You're basically printing your own money at that point. Water Runoff Is Money Going Down the Drain Rain barrels and cisterns are underrated. Every time it rains, your roof is producing water. Most people just let it run off. Collect it. Use it for: Gardening Lawn irrigation Emergency supply Water bills are going up. Ours doubled recently. It's still affordable, but it won't always be. Reducing dependency now is smart. Indoor Production: Mushrooms and Niche Products Growing mushrooms indoors is exploding. Lion's Mane. Reishi. Specialty varieties. The science on mushroom benefits is still unfolding, but the demand is real — and they're expensive to buy retail. If you're already spending money on them, growing them yourself cuts cost massively. Get good at it? Sell excess. There are tons of small indoor side hustles you can start from your home. Some are simple. Some are more technical. The common thread: Reduce retail markup. If you can make something yourself that normally carries huge markup — that's leverage. There's nothing wrong with profit. But there is a line between fair markup and straight-up exploitation. If you can eliminate the middle layer, your cost drops dramatically. That's power. Remodel vs Production — Pick Your Angle Your home can: Build equity through smart remodeling Reduce expenses through production Generate income through niche products Or do all three Most people treat their house as: Mortgage.Utilities.Expense. That's it. But if you treat it like a tool — like an asset that works — it changes the math. Final Thoughts The housing market might be rough. Interest rates might suck. Starter homes might be overpriced. But you still control: What you buy How you improve it What you produce from it What you stop paying retail for Make your home work harder.

    Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Dan Coyle is a New York Times bestselling author who's spent the last two decades studying what makes great teams great. He wrote The Talent Code, The Culture Code, and now Flourish—books that have shaped how millions of people think about skill development, team culture, and meaningful connection. He works with the Cleveland Guardians as a special advisor on culture and performance. We recorded this one together in Cleveland. Notes: Find your yellow doors. Most of us go through life looking for green doors (clearly open paths) and red doors (obviously closed paths). But yellow doors are different. They're out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new. That's where life actually happens. We think life is a straight line from A to B to C, but it's not. Life isn't a game... It's complex, living, shifting. Yellow doors are opportunities to create meaningful connections and explore new paths. "Life deepens when we become aware of the yellow doors, the ones we glimpse out of the corner of our eye." The craft journey always involves getting simpler. Simple is not easy. The great ones have their craft to where there's a simplicity to it. In this world of clutter and noise, it's easy to want to compete with energy and speed, but the stuff that really resonates is quieter and simpler. Be a beginner again in something. With climbing, Dan's at the very bottom of the craft mountain. With writing, he's somewhere in the middle. It's fun to have a couple of zones in your life where you're a beginner. It's liberating, but it also develops empathy. Some stuff looks very simple, but isn't. Every good story has three elements. There's some desire (I want to get somewhere), there's some obstacle (this thing standing in my way), and there's some transformation on that journey. Teaching teaches you. Coaching Zoe's writing team helped Dan, and then Zoe ended up coaching Dan. It was never "let me transmit all my wisdom to my daughter." It was a rich two-way dialogue that helped both of them. Suffering together is powerful. Doing hard things together with other people, untangling things together (literally and figuratively), and being vulnerable together. That's culture code stuff. Whether it's skiing with your kids, seeing them fall and get back up, or being trapped underground like the Chilean miners. Behind every individual success is a community. Dan dedicates all his books to his wife, Jenny (except one). Growing up, he had this idea of individual success, individual greatness. But when you scratch one of those individual stories, what's revealed is a community of people. Jenny is the ecosystem that lets Dan do what he does. Going from writing project to writing project, hoping stuff works out, exploring... it's not efficient. It's not getting on the train to work and coming home at five o'clock. It's "I think I need to go to Russia" or "I need to dig into this." She's been more than a partner, an incredible teammate.  Great organizations aren't machines; they're rivers. The old model of leadership is the pilot of the boat, the person flipping levers who has all the answers. That's how most of us grew up thinking about leaders. But Indiana football, the SEALs, Pixar... when you get close to these organizations, they're not functioning like machines. Machines are controlled from the outside and produce predictable results. These organizations are more like energy channels that are exploring. They're like rivers. How do you make a river flow? Give it a horizon to flow toward (where are we going?), set up river banks (where we're not gonna go), but inside that space create energy and agency. Questions do that. Leaders who are good at lobbing questions in and then closing their mouth... that's the most powerful skill. Great teams have peer leaders who sacrifice. Since Indiana football's fresh in our minds... Peer leaders who sacrifice for the team are really big. Fernando Mendoza got smoked, battered, hammered, and he kept going without complaint. In his interview afterward, he talks about his teammates. That's the DNA of great teams. Adversity reveals everything. The litmus test: in moments of terrible adversity, what's the instinct? Are we turning toward each other or away from each other? You could see it in that game. The contrast between the two teams. When things went bad, they responded very differently. The coach isn't as important as you think. Coaches can create the conditions for the team to emerge, but great teams sometimes pit themselves against the coach. The US Olympic hockey team of 1980 would be an example. They came together against Herb Brooks. So coaching sets the tone, but it's not as big a part of DNA as people think. Curiosity keeps great teams from drinking their own Kool-Aid. The teams that consistently succeed don't get gassed up on their own stuff. They don't believe in their success. They're not buying into "now I'm at the top of the mountain, everything's fine." They get curious about that next mountain, curious about each other, curious about the situation. They're willing to let go of stuff that didn't work. Honor the departed. When someone gets traded in pro sports, it's like death. Their locker's empty like a gravestone. What the coach at OKC does: on the day after somebody gets traded, he spends a minute of practice expressing his appreciation for that person who's gone. How simple and human is that? How powerful? What makes people flourish is community. It's not a bunch of individuals that are individually together. Can they connect? Can they love their neighbor and support their neighbor? That's magical when it happens. The Chilean miners created civilization through rituals. 33 men, 2,000 feet underground, trapped for 69 days. The first couple hours went as bad as it could. People eating all the food, scrambling, yelling. Then they circled up and paused. The boss took off his helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees. We're all one here." Their attention shifted from terror and survival to the larger connection they had with each other. They self-organized. Built sleeping areas, rationed food, created games with limited light. Each meal they'd share a flake of tuna at the same time. When they got contact with the surface, they sang the Chilean national anthem together. They created a little model civilization that functioned incredibly well. Stopping and looking creates community. What let the miners flourish wasn't information or analysis. It was letting go. Having this moment of meaning, creating presence. All the groups Dan visited had this ability in all the busyness to stop and ask: What are we really about? What matters here? What is our community? Why are we here? What is bigger than us that we're connected to? They grounded themselves in those moments over and over. Getting smart only gets you so far. There's a myth in our culture that individuals can flourish. You see someone successful and think "that individual's flourishing." But underneath them, invisibly, they're part of a larger community. We only become our best through other people. We have a pronoun problem: I, me, when actually it's we and us. Self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement. Ask energizing questions. "What's energizing you right now?" is a great question. "What do you want more of?" "What do you want to do differently?" (not "what are you doing poorly"). "Paint a picture five years from now, things go great, give me an average Tuesday." What you're trying to do is get people out of their narrow boredom, let go a little, surrender a little, open up and point out things in the corner of their eye. When things go rough, go help somebody. Craig Counsell on how to bounce back when you're having a bad day: "I try to go help somebody." That's it. Create presence conditions. The ski trips, the long drives, the shared meals, no phones. Schedule them. This is how connection happens, whether it's with your family or your people at work. Leaders who sustain excellence are intensely curious. Dan walked into the Guardians office expecting to pepper them with questions. The opposite happened. Jay, Chris, and Josh kept asking him question after question, wanting to learn. Leaders who sustain excellence have this desire to learn, improve, get better. Ask better questions. Actually listen. Ask follow-up questions. Curiosity is also the ultimate way to show love. Reflection Questions Dan says yellow doors are "out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new." What's one yellow door you've been walking past lately? What's stopping you from opening it this week?The Chilean miners' boss took off his white helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees." Think about a moment of adversity your team is facing right now. Are you turning toward each other or away? What's one specific action you could take this week to help your team turn toward each other? Dan emphasizes we have a "pronoun problem" (I, me vs. we, us) and that "self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement." Who are the 2-3 people you could invite into your growth journey right now? What would it look like to pursue excellence together instead of alone?
