Podcasts about Personal development

What if the advice holding you back sounds reasonable because it matches what you already want to believe?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the way most people judge advice, especially when they are still unclear on their goals, values, standards, and current circumstances. Not all advice is useful. Some of it sounds smart, feels validating, and still moves you in the wrong direction.This conversation breaks down how to filter guidance through self-awareness, personal values, decision-making, work ethic, identity, and long-term success. You will hear why context matters, why easy answers can be dangerous, and why the right advice must match the person receiving it, not just the person giving it. If you want better outcomes, stop collecting opinions and start building the discernment to know which ones deserve your attention._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

“Send Coach John a message”Love this post that came across my “wires” today. It comes from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) and he shares this thought about the quote I will share with you as “Life's highest calling... Pick up the Trash...leave people, places, and things better than you found them! Every conversation matters. Every interaction matters. Every encounter is an opportunity to bring life, hope, and encouragement to someone else. You never know what someone is carrying, and you never know how one word, one smile, or one moment of genuine care might change their direction. Life is not only built in the big moments…it's built in the ordinary ones. So, treat every day like it matters, because somebody else's life might depend on it.”  The quote that he shared with his comments goes like this: “I'm very optimistic that every conversation, interaction, or encounter you have every day can change somebody else's life.” Just imagine for a moment, if more people took this to heart and set out throughout their day to consciously live this out.  Even in small ways, this can be a HUGE deal for others and their world. This is an awesome & powerful mindset to have throughout life. I dare you to try it.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the advice people accept without realizing the cost. Kevin shares a lesson from training with Bruce, an 80-year-old who still shows up with discipline, intensity, and a better attitude than many people half his age. Alan connects it to coaching, maturity, personal standards, and the reality that high-value people are harder to access.This episode gets into mindset, self-awareness, ownership, and the quiet danger of letting miserable people influence your future. If you want better results, you need to be more selective about whose words you let shape your thinking. Some advice is wisdom. Some of it is just defeat standing up straight._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

“Send Coach John a message”I found an amazing post with unbelievable timing. This really hit home as we just lost my uncle earlier this morning. He had a long, long life as he was in his early 90's. He fought with many different battles over the last few years - cancer and Alzheimer's to name just two of his battles. This quote hit home for me:  “The people we love and have lost don't just shape our past; they show up in how we live every day.” George Couros is the one who said this and shared it too.  George Couros (@gcouros) who had this thought about the quote:  "You don't feel sad all the time, but for the rest of your life, you are different. I can't explain it any better than that." I love this other thought he threw out there about grief: “You Don't Get Over Grief, You Become Someone New Around It.”  These thoughts here have been circling around my brain since I saw them. My aunt and my two cousins have been at my uncle's side for a few days now as the end was drawing near. This family has had their share of tragedy in their lives - but… they have always been there for each other throughout their entire lives. What a powerful lesson for all of us to learn from.  I'd like to keep on my journey of looking to get better, every single day - because of and for, the people that shaped me and came before me.  That's the best way to keep connected to others that make an impact on us. For me - it's one more balcony person not only cheering me on, but also gives me another big reason to keep working hard and doing my best in life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Why You HAVE To Be Controversial in Today's World To Get Ahead

Success is safest in disciplined hands. In this episode, Kevin and Alan examine why humility matters even more when progress starts to stack. Confidence is valuable, but it can turn into distortion when you stop paying attention to the habits, standards, and self-awareness that helped you grow in the first place. They get into personal development, self-belief, discipline, consistency, and the thin line between grounded growth and quiet arrogance.Kevin and Alan challenge the idea that humility means playing smaller. Real humility is staying honest while still aiming higher. If you are growing, winning, or stepping into a new level, this episode will help you protect your progress without getting careless. Press play before your ego starts treating momentum like a guarantee._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Send us Fan MailIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we get honest about why asking for help can feel so threatening once the guidance actually reaches us. We look at the psychology behind defensiveness, shame, fixed mindsets, and the nervous system patterns that can turn support into something that feels like an attack. If you have ever wanted change but noticed yourself shutting down when someone tried to guide you, this episode invites you to pause, question the story your mind is building, and stay open long enough to see what may be waiting on the other side. Let the truth reach you before your defenses rewrite it.Here are related episodes that build on today's conversation:#502 | The #1 Antidote to Shame - https://apple.co/3RbNBfK #423 | You're Not Responsible for Their Emotions - https://apple.co/48pPRpO Learn more about:

“Send Coach John a message”From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) came this gem on what he calls a “MindsetMonday”.  “Don't let old battles keep you from new victories.”  I've done this plenty of times. Keep re-hashing something in my head from my past that is holding me back from my current day / in the moment things I should be doing. This became clear again not because I saw this post, but actually going through it because of my recent surgery. So much stuff we tend to carry around and if you are like me, sometimes that old stuff gets in the way of doing new & great things. Something good for me to work on while I have a bit more time on my hands as I heal up.

“Send Coach John a message”I saw this post that connected directly to one of my favorite all-time shoes, Ted Lasso. This post was from one of the characters on the show, Higgins and it was one of so many life lessons shared on the show. In a conversation with another character, Roy - Higgins mentioned this to him: “Human beings are never going to be perfect, Roy. The best we can do is keep asking for help and accepting it when you can. And if you keep on doing that, you'll always be moving towards better.”  Asking for help is something that many have trouble with doing and some even have trouble giving help too.  Recently going through another operation, I've been put in the position of needing a lot of help. My wife has gone beyond “stepping up”, as she is doing everything. Today, I'm getting around better and doing a bit more for myself. This point from the show really got me thinking about not only my life right now - but also the way it should be more often. If we are looking for help (and we should be open to that), we need to be more helpful towards others. Do yourself a favor - check out the Ted Lasso show and see the awesome character development and the many life lessons that all of us can use more of.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Truth Is An Acquired Taste

What if feeling less clear is actually proof that you've outgrown what used to work?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down why progress can make clarity harder, not easier. With years of coaching, thousands of episodes, and real-world experience helping people make better decisions, they explain why growth often brings more pressure, more options, and more identity friction. The more you evolve, the more you have to decide what still fits, what needs to go, and what deserves your full focus.They talk about self-awareness, goal alignment, identity, decision-making, and why action only creates clarity when it is followed by honest reflection. If you are making progress but feel less certain, this episode will help you understand why. The next level may not require more effort. It may require more precision._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

“Send Coach John a message”What an amazing, emotional and inspiring conversation I had with another former student of mine, Eli'Ana Klemm. This was a powerful conversation all connected to her recent book, "Resilient" (click the title for the link) and the lessons she learned from extreme loss and injury when she was young. Eli'Ana shares so many lessons of life in this conversation that I know this will make a positive difference with so many people. You can connect with her on Instagram (@Beyondherblues) and there you will find other ways she shares her insights, encouragement and life enhancing ideas. She is again, another student that I've had the pleasure to work with that really makes a difference with others. She's also one that I'm very proud of and thankful for all the lessons she continues to teach me.

Being Socially Awkward Is UNACCEPTABLE As A Man

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the wrong environment can become the hidden ceiling on your growth. Goals, discipline, and ambition matter, but they are harder to sustain when the people around you make success feel unsafe. This episode challenges you to look honestly at your community, your standards, and the subtle ways old relationships can pull you back into an older version of yourself.They get into self-belief, insecurity, peer influence, emotional maturity, and why some people celebrate progress while others quietly resent it. If you want to become more consistent, confident, and capable, motivation is not enough. You need people who can handle your evolution, your standards, and your next level. Choose your circle like your future is listening._______________________Join the "Next Level Fitness Accountability Group" – Reach out to Kevin or Alan on Instagram:Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

“Send Coach John a message”For my last pre-recorded, post surgery episode (hopefully), I'm leaning on a legend.  John C. Maxwell (@TheJohnCMaxwell) is someone that has been around for a very long time. I remember for most of my life knowing who this guy is and finding my way to being connected to his teachings. This one is a gem that he shares with us today. “The only guarantee that tomorrow is going to be better than today is that you're growing right now.”  Let this clip sink in a bit. Listen to it a couple of times. In our growth during tough times, we have the choice of learning from those moments, in order for us to have a better tomorrow. This is something that I know I need to do more of - especially during my recovery from my surgery. Not easy times right now. Painful times right now. But I know I'm getting better from what I had to go through. This lesson I need to keep leaning on, stay connected to, because I know there will be other tough times to get through and to learn from as I'm going through them. You know what??  The same goes for you. The same goes for everyone. We just need to remember this for our moments of tough times so that we can grow from what we learn about going through them.  Here's to better tomorrows. Everyone around us gets better when we grow!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Most leaders think their biggest problem is hiring the right people. Bruce McLeod says the real problem is what happens after they arrive — and what quietly destroys them once they do.In this episode, Bruce shares the framework he developed after more than a decade watching rapid growth hollow out companies from the inside: burning out top talent, rewarding the wrong behaviors, and leaving entire teams operating without a shared understanding of what winning even looks like. If your company depends on one or two people to hold everything together, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, structure, and what it actually means to build something that lasts.TranscriptThe Healthy Compnay Framework

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I'm diving into a mindset that I keep seeing all over social media lately: “it's not that deep.” And honestly? I don't agree.I talk about why I think this mindset can sometimes become a way for people to emotionally check out of their own lives, avoid vulnerability, avoid failure, or stay small when things feel hard. Because the truth is… your life is that deep. Your healing is that deep. Your goals, relationships, growth, purpose, and the way you spend your time all matter.I open up about discomfort, anxiety, grad school, growth, and what it actually means to put yourself out there even when you're scared.We talk about why meaningful change requires effort, why staying comfortable can keep us stuck, and why becoming the person you want to be is supposed to ask something of you.If you've been feeling afraid to take the next step, questioning your path, or minimizing your own dreams because someone else told you it “wasn't that serious,” this episode is your reminder that your one life matters, and you deserve to fully show up for it. Get your Raising Serotonin Merch here! FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE Support the show

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the need to feel wanted meets technology designed to never say no?In this episode, we explore the sharp intersection of validation, self-worth, and AI relationships. As artificial intelligence becomes more personal, affirming, and emotionally convincing, we look at why some people become vulnerable to outsourcing connection, comfort, and worth to something that cannot truly know them.This episode is not about fearing technology. It is about recognizing the human need beneath it and choosing real connection before artificial validation becomes easier than growth. Follow the need you keep outsourcing. It may be the doorway back to yourself.Episode References:1. HER (2013) Film 2. My AI Loves Me Better Than Anyone Ever Could I Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel 3.

“Send Coach John a message”He scores again… Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) shared another gem that caught my heart and my ear.  I've heard this before, actually many times, but I needed to hear it explained this way:  “Don't be a thermometer that reflects the room. Be a thermostat that changes it. Stay grounded, set the tone & bring the energy you want others to feel. Measure the atmosphere if you must — but don't stop there. Change it.” The clip he shared was from Devante Warner (@thedevantewarner).  Love the strength and courage of being the person that brings peace into chaos. Brings faith into doubt. The more we can learn to be the thermostat in our lives, the more control we can have in situations where others are only the thermometer. Such an amazing and powerful mindset to have.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Most advisors build their business on momentum instead of intention, duct-taping it together as they go, and then wondering years later why growth feels so hard.What if the problem isn't effort? What if it's the foundation?In this solo episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I'd invest the first $100,000 if I was starting a financial advisory practice from scratch. Three investments, in order, that I believe separate the advisors who build something bigger than themselves from the ones who stay stuck grinding at a ceiling they didn't even know they built.These aren't industry secrets. They're not complicated. But the fastest-growing advisors I've coached (and I've worked with folks managing hundreds of millions) did all three on purpose, and they did them early. That's the difference.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson…#1.) The First Hire Every Advisor Should MakeMost advisors wait too long to hire an EA because they think they can't afford it. I want to flip that entirely. Every hour you spend on admin, scheduling, and paperwork is a direct tax on your revenue ceiling. A great EA creates leverage.#2.) Marketing Isn't Optional, It's the EngineI break down the mindset shift that separates advisors who consistently invest in marketing from those who treat it like an expense, and why funding a proven one-to-many system early is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make.#3.) Your Office Is Sending a Message. Is It the Right One?The environment where you meet clients isn't just a backdrop. It's a direct signal about the experience they can expect. Your space affects not just your clients' confidence in you, but your confidence in yourself.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/168FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

You also need the ability to read your emotions accurately and respond in a way that supports your long-term goals.They explore rational thinking, emotional regulation, identity, performance, and the tension between short-term comfort and long-term results.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back Steve Kahle, entrepreneur, executive, and fractional CIO, author of Leadership Recall: Harness Insights. Accelerate Innovation. LEAD WITH AUTHORITY. Steve first joined the podcast in episode 184 to discuss email overload. This time, the conversation turns to a challenge every leader faces: the forgetting curve. Research suggests we forget up to 83% of what we learn within a week, and Steve argues this is not just a learning problem, it's a leadership problem. Steve shares his CCR framework (Capture, Catalog, and Recall), along with practical tools such as the Anki flashcard app and the Email Me voice-note app, to build what he calls a learning operating system. The discussion covers how to design a recall fitness practice in as little as three minutes a day and how removing friction at every step keeps the system sustainable. If you're looking for a practical system to stop letting great insights slip away and start leading with more authority, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "I think God put in my heart to be a relentless optimizer. I like to see things work and work well." "When you really zoom out in life, those who are really successful have figured out what are the frameworks, what are the methodologies that work, and they simply apply those." "Our subconscious mind can handle about 11 million bits of data per second, but about 40 bits conscious mind." "I went all in. Christ totally transformed my heart, and I'm realizing that scripture memory is a superpower." "Time swiftly washes away the obvious." "Learning really is a privilege, and we need to be able to find time that works with our daily rhythms." "Three minutes a day is really all you need to be able to see tremendous traction on being able to recall things that matter" "Instead of 'I'm bad at remembering names,' you could, do a reframe like, 'Hey, I'm getting better at remembering people's names.'"

“Send Coach John a message”I found this amazing reminder (seems more and more amazing reminders that I am finding - messages that we all need) from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) his message about the clip from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson)  - “Achievement is what you attain or accomplish. Fulfillment is something you experience when your journey, growth & relationships align with purpose. Fulfillment comes from who you become during the journey, how you impact others & whether your life aligns with purpose & values.”  Love the reminders about the importance of the journey that we are all going through in life. The people that are on the journey with us are so valuable. Achievement is what we acquire and fulfillment is what we become. The sooner we connect with this, I feel that our lives will become more valuable, more memorable - so much more meaningful. Our journey (people, things and events) all of it molds us into who we are. The thing is - we do the same for others as well. Great stuff! Deep stuff!

Most people don't realize they have a ceiling on their success. Not a skill ceiling. A preference ceiling. Brendon Burchard calls it the complexity ceiling, and it's the invisible line where your comfort wins over your vision. The highest performers in the world share one non-negotiable: their preferences never outrank their aspirational self. They don't wait to feel ready. They generate the feeling they need and act from that place. Brendon introduces his FREE framework (Feeling, Responsibility, Expression, Expansion), a four-part system for creating your internal state on purpose, every day, regardless of what's hitting you from the outside. It's the methodology he breaks down fully in High Performance Habits. Lewis and Brendon also go deep on what happens when you succeed beyond what you believed was possible, and why that moment can trigger imposter syndrome or total emptiness if your belief never caught up to your achievement. This one is about becoming the person your future self already is. It starts with one question: does your preference win today, or does your vision?

A small town ballerina with no business background, Julia Hartz had no guarantee that Eventbrite would work. What began as a bootstrapped startup she co-founded became a 20-year journey full of challenges, including a crisis like no other: COVID, wiping out the events industry almost overnight. But each challenge sharpened her leadership skills, and Julia ultimately turned  Eventbrite into the powerhouse it is today before exiting on her own terms. In this episode, Julia shares how these moments shaped her leadership and taught her how to build, scale, and evolve a meaningful business, even when it costs you everything.
