Many beauty professionals assume they need more visibility, followers, or content. In reality, growth often stalls because of weaknesses in retention, referrals, client experience, or value creation. 2. The strongest businesses create an experience worth talking about. Marketing may attract attention, but exceptional experiences create loyalty, trust, and word-of-mouth referrals. 3. Increasing retention by even a small percentage can generate thousands of dollars in additional revenue without attracting a single new client. 4. Referred clients often arrive with built-in trust because someone they already know has recommended your business. 5. Sometimes the solution isn't increasing volume, it's increasing the value you provide through better services, experiences, systems, and client outcomes. 6. Marketing doesn't fix weak systems. It magnifies them. Strong businesses focus on experience, retention, referrals, and value before scaling visibility. 7. Whether you're the Visibility Addict, Technician, Discount Queen, Busy But Broke Stylist, or Foundation Builder, identifying your patterns can help reveal your next opportunity for growth. 8. Consumers are craving authenticity, conversation, and connection. Community-based content is becoming more effective than highly polished marketing. 9. Email lists, podcasts, downloads, partnerships, and communities create long-term stability that isn't dependent on changing social media algorithms. 10.  Before investing more time into marketing, ask yourself: If 100 new clients showed up tomorrow, would your business retain them, serve them well, and turn them into advocates? 11. The fastest-growing businesses aren't trying to fix everything at once. They're identifying the next bottleneck and focusing their energy where it will create the greatest impact. 12. Growth becomes easier when you understand whether your challenge is retention, referrals, pricing, value, or visibility...and stop treating every issue like a marketing problem.

GRAMMY® Balloted Club Nouveau, Timex Social ClubGrammy Award Balloted singer and music label executive, Jay King, was elected CEO/President of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC) in June of 2019.GRAMMY® Award Balloted Jay King/Club Nouveau's music & samples have been featured in many TV & Film Soundtracks including the #1 Hit Movie "US" by Director Jordan Peele! "Jealousy" also made an appearance on the soundtrack for the film Modern Girls. "Why You Treat Me So Bad" was interpolated by the hip-hop duo Luniz, on its hit single "I Got 5 on It", and subsequently by rapper/record producer Puff Daddy on his #1 R&B single "Satisfy You".This week, I look at how a brand can stay relevant decade after decade.As a veteran mogul Jay King brings as much humility to the field as he does what has been called his genius. With three decades of continuous achievements in music, management, film/TV/radio, consulting and publishing; King has made an indelible impression. He claims Northern California in general as his hometown due to a nomadic youth spent between many of the Bay Area's cities; as well as Alaska for birthing his career. There was a deep musical undercurrent added to his early years by a clan which boasted a number of ministers, extending from his great-grandfather through a number of cousins, who all played instruments as well. His great uncle, Saunders King, a respected jazz/blues guitarist, offered the West Coast the first family hit in the 1940's—‘The S.K. Blues'—adding to the musical backdrop of King's childhood. In 1986, King starting the independent record label JAY Records to release the Timex Social Club hit ‘Rumors' and ushered in the biggest selling single of 1986 (3.5 million copies) and becoming the #1 R&B single on the Billboard Charts. With a Top 10 single on the Billboard Pop charts for over 56 weeks, King watched his life change as his music became an unprecedented hit. What he'd produced was history-making, as nobody had before taken an R&B song from an indie label to such heights. Although having independently produced, pressed and marketed his own music King was without the money to compete at radio plays and had to be creative with promoting. “There were challenges. You couldn't reach out to stores, and social media didn't exist then so you couldn't let people know with a click of a button that you had something out. You had to get out and hustle. People were making fun of me and laughing because I was out hustling records.” Bypassing traditional methods, King utilized Macola Records because of its position as an indie manufacturer with no association to a major label.Club Nouveau's music is in heavy demand commercially in movies and is sampled in many of today's artists hit makers like Ashanti, Chris Brown and many more.The group is STILL on the scene, performing hundreds of LIVE concert a year & recording NEW music!© 2026 All Rights Reserved© 2026  Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Brians Questions: Hey guys, thanks for answering all of my questions in the past. I have something a little different this time. While cutting a mortise on the router table into a leg, I accidentally touched the outside of the leg to the router bit and did some damage. I happen to have the offcut and the grain is a perfect match (see photo). What would be your process to go about repairing this so it is near invisible? My thought was to use a wheel marking guage and chisels to remove a sliver of the leg. I have no idea how to cut a perfectly matching piece from the offcut to fit into that removed material. In order for the grain to match, the repair piece can't be oversized and would have to fit perfectly. This is on the outside of the leg and will be seen. Or is that a little unreasonable and would you not match the grain perfectly? Thanks, Jeff Howdy fellas, Love the podcast, thanks for what you do.  For the sake of space and cleanliness, I've decided to get rid of my table saw.  It's an 80's era Delta Unisaw that runs great, but doesn't have any safety features and the dust collection is wanting.  Rather than upgrading, I plan to use my bandsaw + planer/jointer for ripping, tracksaw + MFT for cross cutting and router table for joinery.  The only thing I haven't quite figured out is cross cutting short pieces, anything

Stefan Gleason, President and CEO of Money Metals Exchange, joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's really inside Fort Knox - and why central banks just bought 244 tons of gold in 90 days while your dollar quietly dies in your pocket. Here's the part nobody wants audited... the US gold reserves haven't had a legitimate audit in DECADES, 83% of it isn't even pure gold, and the experts say it would take 20 years just to refine it to modern standards. So what happens if we finally open the vault... and it's empty? Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the biggest unanswered question in American finance. We walk you right up to the vault door. Stefan - a guy who runs one of the largest precious metals depositories in North America - explains why the way Washington manages your gold "wouldn't pass muster in any private depository," why the new Fed chairman quietly admitted the government plays in the gold market, and whether the most secure building in America is actually holding what they say it is. The dollar in your pocket is a political tool. They can print it, freeze it, weaponize it, and devalue it overnight by design. Gold and silver? They can't touch. So why do most Americans still own ZERO ounces of either... while central banks around the world quietly stack it by the ton? You'll hear the truth about whether it's too late to buy gold in 2026, the #1 rookie mistake that leaves beginners 50% underwater the second they buy, how to spot a rare-coin scam from a fair deal, and the surprising state-level wins happening right now while DC sleeps - 45 states now exempt gold and silver from sales tax, with Maryland and Alaska being the latest to move.

In this episode of Veteran on the Move, host Joe Crane sits down with legendary serial entrepreneur Peter Burns to discuss his incredible 50-year career spanning over 150 individual businesses. Peter shares his unconventional journey that began as an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Army, where his performance led to a selection for the prestigious West Point Preparatory School before ultimately transitioning to a UVA ROTC scholarship. Recognizing his true calling lay in business after launching a highly successful moped-rental business at just 19 years old, Peter chose to leave the military track behind—eventually going on to co-found the nation's first College of Entrepreneurship at Grand Canyon University. Now focused on giving back to the military community, Peter pulls back the curtain on how veteran founders can bypass restrictive commercial banking gridlock, protect their personal credit, and unlock vital alternative capital using his proprietary Burns Funding Method.

What separates hairstylists who burn out from those who build thriving careers for decades? In this episode, Ambrosia sits down with salon owner and hairstylist Travis Noel to explore the often-overlooked skills that create true longevity behind the chair. With more than 30 years in the industry, Travis shares powerful insights on communication, confidence, comparison, abundance mindset, mentorship, failure, and why hairstylists are actually in the people business, not the hair business. Together, they unpack why technical skills alone aren't enough, how to stop comparing yourself to other stylists, what it really takes to build confidence, and why community may be the most valuable asset a hairstylist can have. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, career direction, difficult salon environments, or simply wondered how to create a career you still love years from now, this conversation is packed with wisdom, perspective, and practical encouragement.

Hairdressers aren't in the hair business, they're in the people business. Hair is simply the vehicle through which connection, communication, and transformation happen. 2. Technical skills may get clients in your chair, but communication, emotional intelligence, and relationship-building are what create long-term success. 3. Confidence isn't something you magically achieve. It's built through experience, repetition, failure, and the willingness to keep showing up. 4. Comparison kills joy. The most successful stylists learn to replace comparison with inspiration and focus on their own unique path. 5. There is no final destination where you've "figured it all out." Even the most experienced hairstylists are still learning, evolving, and growing. 6. An abundance mindset creates opportunity. Scarcity focuses on limitations; abundance focuses on possibilities and action. 7. Success requires both boundaries and effort. While protecting your energy matters, there is no substitute for consistent hard work. 8. Failure is not proof that you're not talented, it's part of the process of becoming skilled, resilient, and confident. 9. The salon environment may not always be perfect, but learning to navigate different personalities is a valuable career and life skill. 10. Mentorship matters at every stage of your career. Even mentors need mentors. 11. Community is essential, especially in an era where many stylists work independently in salon suites. 12. The hairstyling industry is filled with people who want to help. Don't be afraid to reach out, ask questions, and seek support. 13. When people feel beautiful, they do beautiful things. The impact of a hairstylist extends far beyond the service itself. 14. True success isn't just financial. It's creating a career that allows you to experience joy, purpose, growth, and fulfillment behind the chair.

In this episode, I explore why so many massage therapists struggle with the idea of building a larger business, where those fears come from, and the hidden cost of staying small simply because growth feels uncomfortable. This isn't a conversation about getting bigger for the sake of getting bigger. It's a conversation about building a business that supports the people inside it including you. We'll get into: Why so many therapists are suspicious of successful group practices Where those beliefs come from and why they often make sense The difference between healthy discernment and self-protection Why many owners attach a moral meaning to money, growth, and success The hidden cost of staying fully booked, exhausted, and responsible for everything Why good intentions alone don't create a sustainable business What ethical profitability actually looks like in practice How profit creates more options for owners, employees, and clients Why a business that depends entirely on your hands is more fragile than it appears The deeper identity fears many therapists have around growth and leadership How to build a business that reflects your values without sacrificing your well-being If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I don't want to become that kind of owner," I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule?

In this episode, Shaelyn Elliott shares how Stretch Fairy grew from a solo massage practice into a wellness ecosystem blending massage, movement, community, and education. We talk about building a team, creating client pathways, hiring for values, and making the shift from service provider to CEO all while navigating some of the hardest seasons of life.   How free online fitness classes during COVID created a waitlist that sparked the growth of Stretch Fairy. Why Shaelyn built an ecosystem business that combines massage therapy, movement, education, and community. The client journey she uses to move clients from treatment into long-term health and wellness habits. How she hires for values, communication, and culture fit over experience alone. The systems she uses to keep her team aligned, accountable, and growing. Why she believes every practitioner should play a role in marketing and growing their own client base. How she expanded into a 2,000 sq. ft. movement studio during one of the most challenging personal seasons of her life. The mindset shifts around money, self-worth, and leadership that helped her evolve from practitioner to CEO. What she's learning now as she navigates the next stage of growth, delegation, and scaling beyond herself.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule?

Ep 252 “The Platinum Tier Potluck” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost takes aim at the absurd hyper-security culture invading everyday suburban life. This bulletin satirizes a neighborhood association that mandates premium tactical gear subscriptions for a simple community potluck, exposing how commercialized fear tries to commodify basic neighborly trust. Inspired by the transformative themes of Bullet Poof, this episode tears down the synthetic walls of manufactured paranoia and points us back to the real, grounding strength found in collaborative community spaces. Resources: Bullet Poof is a hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

Ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper… only to realize a few weeks later they were the wrong fit? The truth is, most bad hires aren't caused by hiring the wrong person; they happen because there's no hiring process behind the decision. In this episode, I break down the three hiring mistakes that quietly cost wellness business owners time, money, energy, and team culture. You'll learn how to spot red flags before they become problems, avoid making decisions from a place of desperation, and create a simple hiring framework that helps you find therapists who align with your business, not just candidates with the best resume.   We'll get into: The three hiring mistakes that lead to costly team problems Why hiring based on "good vibes" isn't enough How to evaluate hard skills, soft skills, and culture fit The interview questions that reveal what resumes can't Why coachability often matters more than experience How to trust your instincts without relying on them alone If you're growing your team or thinking about making your next hire, this episode could save you from an expensive mistake.   ---   *Brought to you by GlossGenius.*   Are you dealing with gaps in your schedule?

In this episode Betsy recounts her trip to Florida and the signs that she experienced while traveling. She explains the ‘put it down’ practice and how it can best serve us in our lives as well as how our brains notice things based on our focuses. This one is a good one if you need a reminder to take stock and choose you. Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. I recorded this yesterday, and it was amazing. You missed a really good show. My microphone wasn’t on, and I, if you are new here, I do these podcasts. I come up with an idea, and then I just talk. So the kinda cool thing is this will be a totally different show than yesterday, although the same topic. I s- I’m sticking to the same theme ’cause I do have a story that I wanna tell you, and it may be a story that you heard if you’re on my mail list. But I wanna dive in a little bit deeper, and I wanna give you some tools, as we go through this. I wanna talk a little bit about my, my trip to Florida and something very cool that happened, and I, I’m gonna call it magic. I believe that there’s magic that happens all around us, and I believe you have magic that happens all around you, too. So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it so that you can actually make your life easier and, you know, maybe a little bit more fun too. So if you’ve been here for a while, you may know that my whole dang life I’ve wanted to move to the beach, and just a few months ago I got the idea that actually there was nothing stopping me and I could do that. And so this, th- I guess it was last weekend, two weekends ago. Memorial Day was this past weekend. The weekend before, I decided I was gonna go down to Florida and I was gonna look around. You know, if you listen to the episode about how I make big decisions, I really was leaning into California, and in fact, had a trip planned for California for this week that ended up getting rerouted. But I had decided that I was also gonna check out Florida for a lot of different reasons. You know, I grew up on the East Coast. Um, my dad is on the East Coast. He, he … And I’m h- I, I was about to say he’s elderly. I guess he is. He’s 85. I guess, I guess that is elderly. It just feels weird to call him that, but he is. He’s not sick or anything. He’s b- he’s a busy dude. But you know, it just feels good to be here. My son lives here in Atlanta, and so I, I would love to be a, a drive away or a 90-minute flight instead of, like, a whole day of travel, you know? So there’s a lot of things, besides the taxes and all of those things. I don’t have a runway like a 30-year-old. I have a runway like a 55-year-old that’s been divorced a couple times, you know what I mean? So we gotta be using our brains here. So I was like, “I’m gonna just go down to Florida and I’m gonna look around.” Tampa checks a lot of boxes because there’s the big airport, it’s a city, it’s by the beach, and, like, that St. Petersburg area. I’m like, “Okay. Well, this could be a place where I could see myself.” And so I thought, “I’m gonna go down there. I’m gonna rent a car and just drive all over.” And as it ended up, somebody reached out from Instagram, and she lives there, and she was like, “I’ll show you around.” And I had, like, the best w- I had the best weekend with her. So it was like I made a really good friend while I was down there. But here’s what happened. I decided I was gonna go down Thursday night. So I was gonna be here for my coaching that I do. We have the Navigate group on Thursdays, and I n- I never miss it. Like, it is a strange, strange moment if I miss it. Um, maybe once a year I will miss. Like, I, I mean, I, this is, like, my favorite thing ever, so I never wanna not be there. So I, although I have coaches that are amazing, and they would be amazing, but I’m just like, “I wanna, I, I wanna be there.” So I’m like, “I’ll do the coaching, and then- pack up my stuff, and head to the airport. I’ll take a flight that night. I’ll land in Tampa. I’ll just get a hotel right near the airport. That’ll be easy-peasy, and then in the morning when it’s light out, I’ll begin my adventure, you know? The next day, Friday morning, was my birthday. It was my 55th birthday. And here’s the thing. I thought to myself, “You know, I wanna be by the ocean on my birthday. That sounds really fun. And, you know, why not have a little adventure?” So that Thursday morning when I was prepping for the Navigate group, I thought, “I need to go bring my cat to the kitty hotel,” right? Like, get Dean Martin situated. Then I can do my thing and head out. And when I was walking around the house, I was, you know, picking up stuff and playing with the cat and doing whatever I needed to do, and I was talking to my mother. Now, if you’re new here, my mother transitioned back when I was in high school, when I was 16. She died when I was … Transition is such a… She croaked. When I was 16 she died in a car accident, and so I’ve never… You know, I haven’t gotten a birthday present from her since I was 16. And I said out loud, “You know, I talk to you a lot, and I trust that you’re here.” But I don’t know. You know, I was kinda like in one of those, like, prove it kind of moods. So I was like, “I don’t know. I don’t know if you’re really here, but if you are, I would like a birthday present. Haven’t had a birthday present from you in a long time, and I would love a birthday present, and I would love if it was something really obvious.” Do you guys do that, too, where you’re like, “Make it a sign,” and then the sign comes, and then you’re like, “Make it a signier sign. I need it to be super signed.” So I was like, “I want a birthday present. I want it to be really obvious.” And I said out loud, “I want it to be really obvious, not like an Amazon gift card or something,” which is kind of a weird thing to say, ’cause I would happily accept an Amazon gift card. But I, you know, said it out loud, and I actually felt it when I said that. Like, it felt funny when I said it, and then I continued. I was busy, busy. I was a busy girl all day. And anyway, I get to the airport. I get settled into the Sky Club because I have a Delta corporate card. I’m about to tell you all of the things that I require to travel, but I’m also too cheap to pay for them, so I have like a million workarounds. So first of all, I got my flight for free using points. I buy a coach seat, but I am Platinum, so I always get upgraded. Why am I Platinum? It’s not because I travel all the time, but it’s because I use my Delta corporate card for everything, for all my business stuff, right? So we end up putting a lot through that, and it gets me to Platinum status, okay? The cool thing about Platinum is you get to choose, like, your present, you know what I mean? Like, you get to choose the thing that you get. And so I have chosen, and I think you have to choose for the year, and I have chosen that I would get upgraded. So I always buy a coach seat, and typically I’ll get upgraded at least to Comfort Plus. I’m a short woman, so it’s not like I need a ton of leg room, but I like … I, I, I feel like my thing is I like- space. Like I don’t like to be herded places, and I don’t wanna feel crowded or rushed. Like that really stresses me out. So I get to the airport, I go to the Sky Club, which I have access to because I have the corporate card, not ’cause I, I’m too cheap to pay for that. But I have a corporate card, and go to the Sky Club, I hang out. It’s time to board the plane, and I look and I’m still not upgraded. And I’m like, “This is really weird.” I mean, it’s a short flight, so like I can hang in coach, but I’m in the middle. And I’m always on the end. Like I, I, I know it’s only 90 minutes, but I always have to pee. Like I’m like, I g- I need to be on the end. I don’t wanna be like in the middle. Ugh. But I’m in the back of the plane. I’m like in seat 29 in the middle seat. But it’s 90 minutes. I’m like, “It’s fine.” I get on the plane. There I am, like, you know, with my shoulders in, I’m as small as I can be so that the people on either side are taking up so much room. And I’m thinking to myself like, “You know what? I hate this.” Like I just do. And it’s okay. I’ll survive, right? Like it’s, if this is the worst of my issues this weekend. But I hate it. And so then the s- airline, um, not the pilot, the flight attendant says, “You know, we’ve oversold this flight.” It was already like delayed. You know? It was like 10 minutes delayed or something. Like it was a busy and it was late, you know. And I could tell they’re tired, and they’re like, “We’ve oversold this flight, and we need somebody to get off the plane and get on a flight two hours later if somebody’s interested in doing that.” Can you ring your bell? You know? So I ring my bell. ‘Cause immediately I’m like, “I don’t even wanna be on this flight. Like, I, I would pay you to go to the next flight.” And they’re giving a $600 voucher, so I’m like, I mean, I travel enough, I have enough things planned, so I’m like, “Yeah, heck yeah, I’ll do that.” Ring my little bell, the flight attendant comes over. She says to me, like, “Do you have luggage?” I’m like, “It’s on the plane.” She’s like, “It’ll be there waiting for you.” I’m like, “That’s great. I trust, I trust.” So I get off the plane, and the people at the f- at the gate, like the f- attendants at the gate are like, “Oh, did you… Thank you for, you know, shifting and going to the later flight.” I mean, it boards in, like, an hour, so I’m like, I’ll just go back to the Sky Club, get a drink, and by the time it’s, I’m done my drink, it’ll be time to board. And nobody’s waiting for me. I’m just… I just got a hotel at the, at the airport. Do you know what I mean? So I’m like, this is no… Like, how nice for somebody else that they could get off the plane, and I am gonna get a $600 voucher. So she says, “Thank you.” I’m like, “Yep, no problem.” And then she’s like, “It won’t print.” And she keeps trying to print, print the voucher, print the voucher, and then she says to the woman next to her, “Do you know why this isn’t printing?” And she’s like, “Well, press this, you know, press that. Try it again. Can you refresh? Maybe if we…” Like, they’re, they’re, they’re going through it, you know? And like I said, it’s late. I can tell these people have had a day. Like, she’s just like, “I can’t get this to print.” So she calls, and she says, like, “It’s printing, but it’s not printing the voucher.” And she’s like, “Will you email it?” So then she looks at me, and she’s like, “Can you check your email?” I’m checking my email. I’m checking my junk. There’s nothing. She’s like, “Try to email it again. It’s not coming through.” She doesn’t have anything. They try it again. And finally she shoves a piece of paper in my hand, and was like, “Here, take this.” So I took the paper and went on my way. I got myself a drink, I sat down, and I looked down, and what did I have but a voucher for a $600 Amazon gift card. Now- Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. What is actually happening? What’s actually happening? Now, you could hear this story and be like, “Well, that was a coincidence.” Like random, like really good timing, funny timing. Or I could tell you that there’s magic, magic all around us, and it is just what we choose to believe. Everything is what we choose to believe. And both of those things are true. It could be a coincidence, could be random. It is funny timing, and it does feel magical, and that is what I would like to believe. But here’s what else is true, is that there is part of our brain that you’ve heard of called the reticular activating system, the RAS, and its job is to filter, okay? So your brain is taking in like several million pieces of information every second. And when I say your brain, I mean, like, your nervous system. So, like, you’re seeing things and hearing things and feeling things and smelling things. Like, all this stuff is coming in all at once. And you can only consciously pr- like, process 126 of those pieces of information, so that means there’s a lot of information that’s just getting lost. It stays in the back of your mind. It stays in your brain. You just aren’t consciously aware of it. So there’s like a little mailman in there that is filtering stuff. It’s taking in all the mail and looking at it and throwing you the pieces that it thinks are important. It decides what gets through to your conscious awareness and what gets tossed out as, like, background noise. So the RAS filters for what you’re focused on. I remember when I bought my car. I have a little white SUV. It’s not rare. But I bought that car and I thought, “I’ve never seen this car before. Like, this is so unique and special,” I thought. I bought it, and now sometimes I go to the grocery store and I’ll come out and there’s like four of them in a row. Like, they’re everywhere. Everybody has them. I just wasn’t looking for them before. My RAS wasn’t set to notice those. So when I asked my mom for a sign, and I said, “Make it obvious,” and when I joked about an Amazon gift card, I set my RAS to look for it. And so when it showed up, I felt something. I noticed. Someone else might have glanced at the voucher and thought, “Oh, .” Y- you know, whatever. . But I was looking for magic, and so I saw it. I felt it as proof So here’s what I’ve been thinking about since that trip. When we are sitting in the middle of hard things, you know, a hard decision. I, I was going down there to look for a place that I was gonna move to live, and I’ll give you the update on that. It’s… There’s… I, I still have questions. But when we’re in the middle of this big, hard decision, it can feel really crushing to carry it all by ourselves. You know, I was feeling that, the weight of it, the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong or miss something, the exhaustion of trying to figure out every single piece of this all on our own. And, you know, I talk a lot when I talk online, and I talk about the Navigate method, and I talk about how important it is for women to make decisions for themselves, and I believe that. I believe nobody else should make the decision for you, ’cause this is how we learn to trust ourselves. But what if we didn’t have to totally do it all on our own? What if we could hand something over, like, like, like, one little thing, and let ourselves be guided? You know, let ourselves be cared for. I, uh, this weekend or that weekend, it was last weekend it was such a lesson in allowing myself to be cared for. You know, did, did my mother give me the $600 Amazon gift card? I think so, but I think she also gave me the friend that took care of me, that took care of everything. If you follow along on Instagram, you know I got food poisoning. She took care of me. She mothered me. And I needed that so bad. And so what if we could let ourselves be guided, let ourselves be cared for, let the universe meet us part way? I’m not saying let somebody else make the decision for you, but I’m saying the decision can be easier when you’re not white-knuckling your way through it all by yourself. So here’s where I think the brain part of this gets really interesting. You know, when we grip, you know, when we’re in control mode, when we’re trying to force an outcome or manage every single variable, our nervous system is really in protection mode. And then what does my RAS do, is it starts filtering for threats, right? It starts looking for like, “Oh my God, she thinks something’s gonna go wrong. What could go wrong? What do I need to control? What am I missing? What am I not seeing? Show her the fear. Show her the unsteadiness.” Right? And when your brain is doing that, you literally can’t see the help that’s available. You can’t notice the signs. You can’t receive any new ideas or, you know, the other options and, you know, doors that you wanna be open seem closed, because your brain isn’t scanning for that stuff. Your brain is scanning for danger. It’s scanning for what could go wrong. It’s scanning for all the times you’re walking on eggshells or afraid you’re gonna make a wrong decision. But when you physically let go, when you open your hands, when you open your hands and you ask for help out loud, something shifts. I do think there’s something magical about speaking it out loud. I think when I was talking to my mom and I was doing it out loud, I could… There was something. Have you ever had that feeling where you’re like, “I feel something moving in me,” you know? And our nervous system reads that as safety, right? It stops filtering for threat- And it starts filtering for possibility when I’m speaking out loud, when I’m calm, when my hands are open. You start noticing things you couldn’t notice before, not ’cause they weren’t there, but just ’cause your brain wasn’t looking for them. Okay, so there’s another piece to this. Your brain is also a, a pattern-matching machine. Like, it’s constantly scanning for patterns. It’s constantly trying to prot- te- uh, I wanna say protect, but no, predict. I w- it’s constantly trying to predict what’s going to happen based on what’s happened before. And when you’re stuck in hard decisions, when you’re stuck in looping on the same thoughts over and over again, you’re reinforcing those same neural pathways. You’re telling your brain basically, “This is the pattern. This is what we do here.” And your brain just keeps running that pattern over and over and over again. This is how come, like, y- y- you know, your partner may stomp around the house, and you go, “Oh, my God. I know what’s gonna happen ’cause I know what happened before,” right? I, I can feel it. I know something’s gonna go sideways. And so you start walking on eggshells. You start being… You’re hypervigilant. You’re listening for w- whatever sound, rustle in the grass you need to be aware of so that you can protect yourself, right? But when you let go, when you put something down, you know, it, your brain can, can shift to something new. It’s not like you’re doing something wrong by listening to those patterns, it’s just that your brain is doing what it’s designed to do, and it’s conserving energy, right? So it’s running a program that it already knows. But when you put it down, then you create space, and in that space, you can form all new patterns. You know, new thoughts can come to you, new ideas can come through, new possibilities can show up that weren’t available when you were gripping really hard. And this is why people say things like, um, like, “I stopped trying so hard, and then it just happened. Like, I don’t know, it just happened. As soon as I let go of needing it to work out, like, it just became obvious.” And it’s not magic. Well, it’s a little magic, but it’s neuroscience. You created space, and your brain had room to find a new pattern. Okay, so here’s how we’re gonna put this into practice. I’m gonna give you something you can try this week. I call it the put it down, put it down practice, and it is designed to shift you from really gripping to having your hands open and receiving. So it’s, it moves you from that, like, control mode to open mole- mode, and then y- you, you kinda stop… You stop scanning for threat, and then you start essentially scanning for what’s available. So here’s how it works. Step one is you’re gonna name what you’re holding. So say it out loud if you can, like the decision, the outcome, the how. So I’m holding the question of whether to stay or go. I’m holding the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong. I’m holding the need to figure out how this is all gonna work before I take my first step. So just name it, whatever it is. I’m holding the overwhelm of trying to find where to live. So step two is you physically put your hands out. There is a, a, a loop between your body and your brain, and I’m gonna use my body to send alerts to my brain. I know it sounds kinda simple, but your, your body and your brain are connected. So when you open your hands, you’re signaling to your nervous system that you’re receiving. You’re not grasping, you’re available, right? Not defending anything. It’s, it’s how your nervous system reads safety, okay? So you’re gonna physically put your hands out, palms up. And then step three is you’re gonna ask out loud, “What’s the one thing I can hand over right now?” Not, “What should I do?” Or not, like, “How do I fix this?” But, “What is one thing I can hand over?” And you’re gonna ask it to the universe, or to God, or, uh, to your dead mom. Like whatever it is, whatever it is that works for you. And ask it to the part of you that already knows. It doesn’t matter who you’re asking, really. It just matters that you’re asking. And then step four is that you’re just gonna wait. Don’t answer it yourself. Don’t, like, fill that silence with your own voice. Just wait and let the answer come to you. This is such a skill to learn to just, like, wait until you feel something. So then the fifth step, I guess we’d be on step five, right? Notice what shows up in the next 24 hours, 48 hours. It might be a thought you didn’t have before, a conversation that feels different than it would have a couple days ago. You know, maybe an opportunity that opens up, you weren’t even looking for one. Maybe it’s a $600 Amazon gift card when you specifically said not that. The point is, you’re not looking for something, like, specific. You’re not looking for a specific answer. You’re looking for movement. You’re looking for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were holding on so tight, you know? I did ask my dad, I said, “What are you sending me?” ‘Cause my mom gave me a $600 gift card. “What are you gonna get me?” It was probably a joint gift, I think. So this is what happens when you’re sitting in the middle of a, a big decision. You know, trying to move to the beach, trying to make a decision about your marriage, and you’re trying to logic your way through it all alone. You keep pushing. You keep thinking. You keep trying to see around corners and, you know, predict outcomes, manage things that you can’t actually control, and then your brain keeps running the same loop, right? It keeps asking the same questions and having the same fears and patterns. So what if, what if you didn’t have to carry all that by yourself? What if you could just hand one thing over and let yourself be supported, let yourself be guided, let yourself receive help instead of white-knuckling your way through it alone? I, I don’t think the decision gets made for us, but the decision gets clearer, I think, when you stop gripping so hard. So pick something this week. Maybe it’s something easy, something that doesn’t have a lot of emotional charge to it, and do the put it down practice. Do- just try it once. See what happens. Name the thing you’re holding, open your hands, ask the question out loud, wait, and then pay attention. Because magic is all around us. It’s, it’s just what we choose to believe, and if your brain is designed to find what you’re looking for, ask it to look for help. Ask it to look for signs. Look for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were in protection mode. And I think when you can do that, that is how you live a big life. If you want help on this journey, we’ve got some spots available on the calendar this week. Um, if you are interested in the Navigate Method, or if you’re not quite there yet, you’re like, “I don’t, I don’t wanna go all in on all that,” I have a process on my website called The Bridge, and it is a truth map that will guide you to the next right thing. And then maybe at that point you’ll be ready to do some of the deeper work inside the Navigate Method. But we are here when you’re ready. Be open to it and allow us to help pick up what you’re carrying. I love you guys so much. I’ll see you next week Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.

What actually makes someone magnetic in their community for nearly 40 years in practice? In this conversation, Dr. Lona sits down with Dr. Mary Frye to unpack the mindset, conviction, and communication strategies that consistently attract new patients into chiropractic care. Dr. Mary shares how screenings, doctor reports, referral systems, and simple one-on-one conversations have allowed her to continually grow her practice without relying on expensive marketing. But underneath the tactics is a much deeper theme: when chiropractors stop making practice about themselves and fully commit to telling the truth about health and healing, people respond differently, referrals grow naturally, and practice becomes far more sustainable and joyful long term. Key Highlights 02:23 – Hear why someone 39 years into practice still wakes up passionate about chiropractic and how conviction around truth and healing continues to fuel the mission. 03:25 – Discover the story that shaped an entire philosophy on chiropractic after a father lived in a back brace for 20 years before chiropractic changed his life. 06:16 – Learn why screenings remain a favorite way to attract new patients and how one-on-one conversations create stronger trust and connection. 07:03 – Understand why most people still don't fully understand chiropractic even if they've seen a chiropractor before and how education changes patient commitment. 08:27 – Hear why staff are trained to “collect nos” during screenings and how removing fear of rejection improves confidence and conversions. 09:27 – Discover the types of community events preferred for screenings and why health-conscious environments like gyms create stronger opportunities for connection. 11:31 – Learn how faith, purpose, and detachment from outcomes reduce stress during patient conversations and help chiropractors communicate more authentically. 12:49 – Understand how turning one patient into an entire family under care creates exponential practice growth and why chiropractors must confidently invite families into care. 15:44 – Hear the “Four Card Friday” referral system and why planting seeds consistently creates long-term community impact. 18:48 – Discover the defining lesson learned in chiropractic school when a mentor taught that practice growth stops becoming difficult when chiropractors stop making it about themselves. 21:56 - Nadine Brunet from Success Partner Platinum Systems joins Dr. Chris to discuss the launch of Platinum Cloud, an AI-powered chiropractic software platform built to simplify workflows, reduce administrative tasks, and improve efficiency for practices. They explore agentic AI, integrated tools, seamless onboarding, and how Platinum Systems is helping chiropractors future-proof their clinics with smarter technology.

Most creative entrepreneurs learn how to make money, but not what to do with it next. In this episode, Ambrosia Carey breaks down the often-overlooked side of business: how to think about money after you earn it. From profit vs. revenue to lifestyle inflation, investing, and long-term financial strategy, this conversation helps hairstylists, service providers, and creative founders understand how to build real freedom, not just income. If you've ever felt financially successful on the surface but unsure how to grow, protect, or multiply your money, this episode will shift how you think about your business and your future.

Making money and building wealth are two different skills, and many creative entrepreneurs master earning without learning how to grow or protect what they make. 2. Revenue can look impressive from the outside, but true financial clarity comes from understanding profit after expenses, time, and operational costs are accounted for. 3. High-ticket services do not always equal high income when you break them down hourly and factor in product, rent, taxes, and overhead. 4. Lifestyle inflation can quietly limit financial freedom when every income increase is immediately matched with higher spending. 5. Financial growth comes from asking better questions, not just working harder...especially around how money is being used beyond day-to-day expenses. 6. Long-term wealth is often built quietly through intentional decisions like saving, investing, and diversifying income sources. 7. Money should be treated as a tool, not something reserved for "financial people," and understanding it creates more control and confidence. 8. Founders should understand basic financial buckets like cash reserves, high-yield savings, retirement accounts, and business reinvestment. 9. Strategic reinvestment is different from emotional spending disguised as business growth, and recognizing that difference is critical. 10. Diversifying income and assets reduces financial vulnerability and creates more long-term stability and flexibility. 11. Asking simple questions like "Am I paying myself properly?" or "Is my money working for me?" can shift your entire financial trajectory.   12. Financial awareness is more important than perfection, starting the conversation early leads to better decisions over time. 13. You don't need a massive financial breakthrough to build freedom: consistent, intentional decisions can create options over time. 14. True success isn't just about income, it's about having the flexibility, time, and choices to design your life on your terms.

Episode Description Shawn blew up his Europe itinerary at the last minute, but this one worked. He canceled Condor premium economy through Frankfurt and rebooked American to Athens for fewer miles, less cash and a cleaner connection. The catch was making American economy survivable, which led him to Hyatt's American Airlines status for a day benefit. Shawn and Mark talk through how the 8,000-point Hyatt redemption worked, why the Main Cabin Extra seat process was clunky, and how his account eventually showed full American Platinum status before travel. They also cover a Royal Air Maroc business class win from Casablanca to LAX, Benjy's strategy for checking AA award bookings after you book, the weird world of backup reservations, and Delta's new second checked bag benefit for eligible Amex cardholders.

Jason Steele hasn't paid for a flight or hotel in 20 years — and he has a family of five. In this episode, the credit card expert, Card Con founder, and author of Travel for Free breaks down exactly how military service members can build a sustainable points and miles strategy, avoid the money traps that sink young service members, and why the best f Spencer Reese sits down with Jason — a freelance credit card expert, founder of Card Con, and author of Travel for Free — to talk travel hacking, military credit card benefits, and building a sustainable points strategy. Topics Discussed How Jason got into Points & Miles consulting — after years of writing about award travel, people kept asking him to just tell them what to do; he turned that demand into a consulting practice What makes a great consultation client — financially responsible, pays statement balances in full, has some flexibility with cards, and is genuinely excited about travel Sustainable travel hacking over a military career — opening one card per year per spouse = up to 40 cards over a 20-year career with no annual fees and millions of points American Express and military fee waivers — Amex tends to be the most accessible issuer for young active duty members; Jason's own daughter (USAF Academy cadet) was immediately approved for the Platinum card The biggest financial mistake young service members make — buying too much car too early; the Hellcat in the parking lot vs. the Corolla driven by the commander Brokerage accounts vs. credit card rewards — a brief nod to the value of flexibility in personal finance, mirroring themes from other episodes Managing multiple credit cards — auto pay, spreadsheets, and apps like Card Pointers; focus on big-win credits first (Chase Sapphire Reserve $300 travel credit, Hilton free night certs) before chasing $7 Dunkin credits Amex Platinum airline credit hack — buy refundable Southwest tickets under $100, cancel within 24 hours; the credit triggers and the refund posts Redeeming points for others — using miles to fly family members to visit you overseas; points can be redeemed in anyone's name at no extra cost Best sweet spots mentioned — ANA (All Nippon Airways) miles for business class to Japan and Africa; United Polaris via Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer; Southwest companion pass Jason's book, Travel for Free — written for beginner to intermediate award travelers; includes personal stories, client case studies, and travel "recipes" (reusable booking frameworks for common trip types) The "how much would you travel if it were free?" question — Jason's framing for why this hobby is worth building Resources Mentioned JasonSteele.com https://jasonsteele.com— book a free 50-minute award travel consultation; link to Travel for Free Travel for Free: How to Use Points and Miles to See the World — available on Amazon Card Con https://jasonsteele.com— Jason's annual conference for credit card media professionals Card Pointers https://cardpointers.com/military— app for tracking credit card benefits and coupon book credits (military discount available) Chicago Seminars & Frequent Travel University — large conventions for award travel enthusiasts Slick Deals, Nav, SoFi — outlets where Jason currently publishes points valuations and credit card content Military Money Manual Podcast Ep. 217 — Jared Mausi flying his mom to Rome in business class using points Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

Dave's been throwing parties. Three in four days. Confirmation sponsor for a friend's son, family and friends over the next night, and then — because the universe has a sense of humor — some local gentleman decided to remodel Dave's brick mailbox. With his truck. At speed. Bricks were found over a hundred feet away. The guy left his license plate behind, which Dave is now holding like a man who accidentally picked up evidence and doesn't know what to do with it. The driver's fine. Well — he's in jail. But he's alive. Dave wants him to know that God's mercy is always ready and present, even for the man who turned a brand-new brick mailbox into gravel.Meanwhile, Adam got a new plum tree. Planted a maple. He's getting oaks for the pig pen so they'll drop acorns someday. One of his chickens died in a water barrel trap that nobody designed on purpose — the lid flipped, the chicken couldn't get out. Farm life. And then the real news: baby Mary is doing better. Haylee got to hold her. Adam held her for over three hours — only his second time since she was born in February. Three months of NICU, and the man finally got to just sit with his daughter. Praise God. Keep those prayers coming.Also — Adam's turning 40 on June 2nd. And Lady Pamela is due with their next baby on June 4th. They floated the idea of recording an episode in the delivery room. Pamela has not been consulted.This week we're sipping 13th Colony Distilleries Southern Rye Whiskey, French Oak Finish, Small Batch — 47.5% ABV. Platinum award-winning. Silky texture with hints of rye, apricot, and brown sugar. The rye's there but it doesn't overpower — still has a lot of bourbon elements to it. About forty bucks. That's a great buy.Then the conversation turns to something Adam's son Jude sparked. Jude — Adam's second oldest — just finished reading the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation, straight through. Now he's reading the Council of Trent Catechism. He's a kid. Nobody told him to do this. He just had good books lying around the house and picked them up. That's the whole point.The virtue of study — studiositas — isn't what school taught us it was. It's not cramming. It's not memorizing facts to dump after the test. Aquinas calls it a habit of the mind ordered towards truth. Classical education at its best doesn't fill your head — it forms the way you think. The more you read rightly, the more you can arrive at correct conclusions through a sound process, not just recall. Study leads to contemplation. Contemplation is rest in truth. And it's not about finishing the book. If you're reading to check the box, you've already lost the plot. Sit with it. Let yourself be carried. The intellectual life doesn't compete with the family — it serves the family.From there, Adam and Dave go back and forth on the books that actually formed them. Adam leads with Joseph Pieper's In Tune with the World — a short, devastating argument for why festivity dies when we strip the divine out of celebration. Dave counters with The Soul of the Apostolate — the book that reordered his understanding of what has to come first before any ministry means anything. Adam brings John Senior's The Restoration of Christian Culture — hard opinions, harder truths, and a quote worth sitting with: the virtue of study requires a canon, a body of great works proven across time. Without tradition to guide what's worth studying, you're just chasing novelty.Dave goes deep on Fr. Timothy Gallagher's The Discernment of Spirits — a practical walkthrough of St. Ignatius's rules that shed light on the stages of the spiritual life and how the enemy shifts tactics as you grow. Adam responds with Raymond Arroyo's biography of Mother Angelica — a story of suffering, faithfulness, and a woman who said yes without knowing where it would lead. Dave makes a case for the Psalms — Psalm 51, the De Profundis in Latin, and the realization that there's a psalm for every moment of a man's life, and he'd been skimming past them for years.Adam goes deep cut: Fr. Paul Murray's Aquinas at Prayer — a book that reoriented his understanding of St. Thomas from pure intellect to contemplative soul. Dave brings Divine Mercy in My Soul by St. Faustina — hundreds of pages of our Lord's words on mercy that are sometimes scandalously generous. Adam throws in Simon Sinek's Start with Why as the non-Catholic book that changed how he thought about business, marriage, and fatherhood. Both men land on fiction that haunts them — Adam with Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter, Dave with Candice Millard's Hero of the Empire on young Churchill. They touch on Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Gone with the Wind, the bishop chapters of Les Misérables, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, and close with John Senior's Thousand Good Books — the canon itself, the list that connects it all.They end where they always end: with Plato. They're halfway through the Republic in their great books group. David sits on the dumb couch. He knows he sits on the dumb couch. He's fine with it.Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave's brick mailbox obliterated by a truck — bricks found 100 feet away, driver in jail, license plate left behindThree parties in four days at Porter Prairie: confirmation, family gathering, and involuntary demolitionDave building a grain cradle for his scythe for the upcoming grain harvestAdam's new plum tree, maple tree, and oak trees planned for the pig penThe chicken that died in a water barrel trap nobody designed on purposeBaby Mary update — doing better, Adam held her for three hours, Haylee held her tooAdam turning 40 on June 2nd and Lady Pamela due June 4thBourbon of the week: 13th Colony Distilleries Southern Rye Whiskey, French Oak Finish, 47.5% ABVJude Minihan reading the entire Bible and now the Council of Trent Catechism — and nobody told him toWhy having good books lying around the house matters more than assigned readingThe virtue of studiositas — Aquinas on study as a habit of the mind ordered towards truthStudy isn't cramming — it's forming the way we think, not filling our headsWhy finishing the book isn't the point — sit with it, let yourself be carriedThe intellectual life doesn't compete with family — it serves the familyJoseph Pieper's In Tune with the World — why festivity dies without the divineThe Soul of the Apostolate — what has to come first before any ministry mattersJohn Senior's The Restoration of Christian Culture — hard opinions and the necessity of a canonFr.
