If you've ever wondered why it's easier to order groceries on your phone than to legally cut hair, start a home business, or switch careers, this episode explains exactly what's gone wrong.America's labor policies are stuck in the past—designed for a 1930s economy that no longer exists. Meanwhile, workers have moved on. They want flexibility. They want choice. They want opportunity. And increasingly, government is standing in the way.My guest is Austen Bannan, Workforce Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity and one of the sharpest voices making the case for worker freedom over bureaucratic control. Austen works at the intersection of labor policy, occupational licensing, and education reform—where outdated rules quietly crush opportunity for millions of Americans.This is a conversation about why empowering workers—not protecting systems—is essential if we actually want people to prosper.

Survival Mode, Travel Bans & Safe Prosperous Cities by That KEVIN Show

In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm sitting down with my friend Laura Belgray — OG in the online business world, Queen of storytelling, founder of Talking Shrimp, and author of Tough Titties — for a conversation that covers a lot of ground (on purpose!)Yes, we talk about email marketing — why your email list still matters, why emails don't have to be boring or “salesy,” and how selling to your list can feel normal, relational, and very human. But I also wanted to give Laura the space to really share how she built her Passionate & Prosperous life and business.We get the inside scoop on Laura's business evolution: what it was like in the early days of the online business space, figuring things out as she went, creating offers by listening closely to what people were responding to, and building a business by taking action, trusting her instincts, and being unapologetically herself.We also talk a lot about writing and storytelling and Laura shares her perspective on finding your voice, showing the journey as it unfolds, and why your emails (and content overall) get to sound like a real person wrote them. Frequency, consistency, trust, connection — it's all part of the same ecosystem.If you care about building a business around what you're actually good at, creating opportunities instead of waiting for permission, and leaning into relationships as a growth strategy, you'll get a lot out of this one.In this episode, we talk about:Laura's business evolution and what it really looked like to build as she wentThe early days of online business (and learning by doing)Why email lists are still one of the most valuable assets you haveSelling to your email list without making it weirdStorytelling, voice, and being unapologetically yourself in your writingHow consistency and frequency build familiarity and trustCreating offers by paying attention to real audience responseIn classic Passionate & Prosperous style, this episode is a reminder that there's no formula for building a great business — it's built by showing up, experimenting, trusting and being willing to take action before you know “how” it's all going to turn out!Join Laura in NYC for her Bingeworthy Live Writing Retreat March 22 and 23, 2026!You can also connect with Laura through her website and on Instagram.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here.

I spent this past morning thinking about 2025 and how to move through 2026. From it I have a bunch or questions and reflections I performed which I felt were helpful. In today's episode I discuss them in 5 sections: the zoomer-outer, the gooder, the less than idealer, the limiter & the futurer. I think adding the “er” to everything makes them legit. Grab a coffer along with a pen & paper or your phone and follow along.Hopefully this sets you up for a great year!This episodes featured Pup is Scarlett .

Let me start with a disclaimer—this isn't a political editorial. It's a conversation about ideas. Lessons from business, design, culture, and philosophy that might help us grow—individually and collectively. And if you disagree, email me at ConvoByDesign@Outlook.com. I welcome the debate. As this year closes, I'm feeling a mix of frustration and optimism. This moment feels chaotic—as does most of life lately—which is why I often end the show with, “rise above the chaos.” We can't eliminate it, but we can manage what's within our control. The Stoics told us that long ago: focus on what you can control, release what you can't, act with virtue, and let obstacles sharpen resilience. This essay is about taking back even a small amount of control through the work we do and the spaces we shape. The Problem with Trend-Driven Design This year, phrases and hashtags flew faster than ever—Quiet Luxury, Brat Green, Fridgescaping, Millennial Grey. Much like the “big, beautiful bill” language we've all heard tossed around in political discourse, design's buzzwords can distract from what actually matters. They generate attention, not meaning. They look good on social media, not necessarily in the lived experience of a home, workplace, or public square. So instead of centering our design conversations around fleeting edits, let's pivot toward the global innovations that are transforming the built world in ways that truly matter. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Real Innovation Worth Talking About Across the globe, designers, architects, and researchers are developing ideas that transcend buzz. These are the concepts with longevity—the ones shaping smart, resilient, human-centered spaces: Biophilic Design, rooted in the work of Edward O. Wilson, Erich Fromm, and Japanese shinrin-yoku, continues to reframe our relationship with nature. Net-Zero Architecture, pioneered in Canada, Germany, and Australia, redefines building performance through projects like Seattle's Bullitt Center and Colorado's RMI Innovation Center. Smart Homes and Invisible Tech, building on early Asian innovation, hiding circuitry and functionality behind seamless design powered by Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems. Prefab and Modular Construction, originally exemplified by structures like the Crystal Palace and the Sydney Opera House, now reimagined by firms such as Plant Prefab. Passive House Design, born in Germany but rapidly shaping U.S. projects in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. And the list goes on: Self-Healing Concrete by Hendrik Marius Jonkers Guggenheim Abu Dhabi by Frank Gehry Bët-bi Museum in Senegal by Mariam Issoufou Powerhouse Parramatta in Australia Pujiang Viewing Platform in China by MVRDV Landscape and biophilic approaches—Wabi-Sabi gardening, edimental gardens, climate-adaptive landscapes, and indoor biophilia—are redefining how we engage with natural systems in daily life. Even infrastructure has become a site of innovation: CopenHill/Amager Bakke, Denmark's waste-to-energy plant with a ski slope Urban Sequoias by SOM—skyscrapers designed as carbon sinks 3D-printed timber in Germany, Finland, and France This is the work that deserves our attention—not the color of the week on TikTok. Rethinking the Shelter Space For years I described architecture as a language, design as a dialect, and landscape as the narrative. Mies van der Rohe famously introduced the concept of architecture as language. It caught on, and then the bandwagon effect took over. But today, the metaphor feels insufficient—especially for the shelter space, where people spend their lives, raise families, work, heal, and age. The shelter space isn't like a retail store or restaurant, where design is often intended for those who pass through briefly while the people who labor there navigate the leftover space. The shelter space must serve those who inhabit it deeply and continuously. And that shifts the conversation. Design begins with the usual questions—purpose, function, users, goals, budget. But these questions don't define design. They only outline it. There is no universal purpose of architecture or design, no single philosophy, no singular “right” answer. The shelter space varies as widely as the people living within it. So instead of treating architecture and design as technical processes, we should approach them philosophically. A Philosophical Framework for Design Stoicism offers clarity: Accept that budget overruns and changes will occur. Respect the expertise of the designer you hired. Invest in authenticity rather than dupes. Create environments that support health—clean air, clean water, noise reduction, resilience. Utilitarianism reminds us that choices have consequences. If the design decisions you make are based on influencer content instead of expertise, the result is no surprise. And now, a new framework is emerging that could transform our shared spaces entirely. Sensorial Urbanism: Designing the City We Actually Feel One of the most compelling movements emerging globally is Sensorial Urbanism—a shift from focusing on how the city looks to how it feels. It's neuroscience, phenomenology, and inclusive design rolled into a multi-sensory toolkit. Five Key Sensory Principles Soundscaping Water features masking traffic. Acoustic pavilions. Designed sound gardens. Paris' Le Cylindre Sonore. Soundscape parks in Barcelona and Berlin. Smellscaping Native flowers, herbs, and aromatic trees restoring identity—especially critical after disasters like wildfires. Kate McLean's smellwalks map a city's olfactory signature. Tactile Design Materials that invite touch and respond to temperature—stone, wood, water—connecting inhabitants to place. Visual Quietness Reducing signage and visual clutter, as seen in Drachten, Netherlands, creates calmer, more intuitive environments. Multisensory Inclusivity Design that accommodates neurodiversity, PTSD, aging, and accessibility through tactile paving, sound buffers, and scent markers. Why It Matters Because cities didn't always feel this overwhelming. Because design wasn't always rushed. Because quality of life shouldn't be compromised for aesthetics. Sensorial Urbanism reconnects us with spaces that are restorative, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. A city is not just a picture—it is an experience. The Takeaway for 2026 Rising Above the Chaos: Lessons from 2025 for a Smarter 2026 HED (3-sentence summary): As 2025 closes, the design and architecture world has experienced unprecedented chaos and rapid trend cycles. In this episode, Soundman reflects on lessons from business, culture, and global innovation, emphasizing resilience, purposeful design, and human-centered spaces. From Stoic philosophy to sensorial urbanism, this conversation offers guidance for navigating the next year with clarity and intentionality. DEK (Expanded description): Twenty twenty-five tested the design industry's patience, creativity, and adaptability. In this reflective episode, we explore the pitfalls of trend-driven design, the enduring value of service, and the innovations shaping architecture globally — from net-zero buildings to multisensory urbanism. With examples ranging from TimberTech decking to Pacific Sales' trade programs, we examine how designers can reclaim control, prioritize meaningful work, and create spaces that heal, inspire, and endure. A philosophical lens, practical insights, and actionable guidance make this a must-listen for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Outline of Show Topics: Introduction & Context Reflection on the chaotic year of 2025 in design and architecture. Disclaimer: this is a philosophical conversation, not a political editorial. Invitation for audience engagement via email. Trends vs. Meaningful Design Critique of buzzwords like “quiet luxury” and “millennial gray bookshelf wealth.” Emphasis on global innovation over social media-driven trends. The gap between American design influence and international innovation. Global Innovations in Architecture & Design Biophilic design and its philosophical roots. Net-zero buildings: Bullitt Center (Seattle), RMI Innovation Center (Colorado). Smart homes, modular construction, and passive house adoption in the U.S. vs. abroad. Focus on Service & Professional Support Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home: Pro Rewards program and exceptional service. TimberTech: innovation in sustainable synthetic decking. Importance of performance, durability, and client-focused solutions. Philosophical Approach to Design Architecture as experience, not just a visual language. Stoicism, utilitarianism, and mindfulness applied to design. Sensorial urbanism: engaging all five senses in public and private spaces. Emerging Global Examples of Innovation Self-healing concrete (Henrik Marius Junkers), Copenhill (Denmark). 3D printed timber in Germany, Finland, France. Climate-adaptive landscapes, Wabi-sabi gardening, inclusive urban design. Moving Beyond Social Media Trends Rejecting influencer-driven design priorities. Returning to performance, resilience, and quality of life. Practical guidance for designers in all regions, including overlooked U.S. markets. Closing Reflections & New Year Outlook Encouragement to rise above chaos and focus on what can be controlled. Goals for 2026: intentional, human-centered, and innovative design.

New @greenpillnet pod out today!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Scott Kacos and family. Thank you so much for partnering with us on Project23. We cannot do this without you. This is for you today. Our text today is Judges 18:7-10. Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. And when they came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, "What do you report?" They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, to enter in and possess the land. As soon as you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is spacious, for God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."— Judges 18:7-10 The Danite scouts find Laish—a city that looks perfect. Peaceful. Prosperous. Secure. Everything their own land was not. And they instantly assume, "God has given it into our hands." But notice—there's no record of prayer, no word from the Lord, and no evidence of obedience in the moments leading up to this. They mistake opportunity for confirmation. They see abundance and assume it's God's blessing. But it's fake faith—faith built on feelings, not on truth. This is how counterfeit obedience works. It looks spiritual, it sounds hopeful, but it's driven by convenience and comfort, not conviction. Remember, the Danites didn't want to fight the Amorites for the land God gave them in Joshua 19. They wanted the easy win, and this was it. Easy victories frequently lead to empty lives. We do the same when we chase the "Laish" in front of us: The job that pays more but pulls us from church. The relationship that feels good but bends God's truth.| The comfort that whispers, "This has to be right, it's working." But not everything that looks right is righteous. Sometimes what looks like God's favor is just avoidance in disguise. When our faith loses its fight, it starts settling for false flags. And the Danites here traded commands for the convenient conquest—and then called it compliance. Real faith does not do this. It never chases comfort; it counts on God even when the command is challenging. ASK THIS: Where have you confused convenience with God's calling? What's your "Laish"—the easy path that tempts you to compromise? Have you been mistaking peace for permission? How can you return to the ground God actually called you to claim? DO THIS: Identify one area where comfort has replaced conviction. Choose faithfulness over feelings this week—even if it costs you ease. PRAY THIS: Lord, forgive me for chasing comfort and calling it faith. Teach me to obey You when the way is hard and to trust You when the road isn't easy. Give me real faith—not imitation peace. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Trust In God."

I am reading the Christmas story from my family's Bible dated in the 1700's. I read the Christmas story from Luke 1:26-2:40 and Matthew 1:18-2:23. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas season and a Happy, Prosperous and Joyful New Year!  Many Blessings  Nancy

VENEZUELA'S TRAGIC DECLINE FROM PROSPERITY TO AUTHORITARIANISM Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. Historical imagery reveals Venezuela's transformation from a prosperous, modern nation in the 1950s to a ruined state today. Deep inequality and corruption in the pre-Chavez era alienated the poor, allowing Hugo Chavez to capitalize on their frustration and dismantle the free market system, leading to the current crisis. NUMBER 6 1948 CARACAS

This narrative gives us a profound spiritual lesson about how God uses persecution and trials to fulfill His purposes for spreading the Gospel.

As we move toward the end of the year, many of us are in reflection and vision mode—looking back at what 2025 has been and thinking ahead to what we want 2026 to look and feel like in our businesses and lives. In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most important (and often misunderstood) pieces of that conversation: content creation.I break down what “content” really is for a transformational, service-based business—not just posts on social media, not just a reel here and there—and why, going into 2026, you're going to need content that is deeper, more intentional, and more aligned with your genius than ever before. We look at content as the foundation of your marketing, business strategy, and client attraction, and get honest about the kind of content you actually need if you want to grow a sustainable, prosperous coaching business.I also talk about the difference between paying for leads with ads and building your business through organic visibility, and why—even if you love the idea of “using other people's audiences”—you still need your own thought leadership, frameworks, and offers to stand on.You'll hear me connect this to my Yellow Brick Road client attraction system (ATTRACT–SERVE–CONVERT) and to my Genius Edge framework, because at the end of the day, everything from your offers to your workshops, talks, podcast, and live events is content. If you want 2026 to be different from 2025 in terms of revenue, reach, and impact, you're going to have to create different content to get you there.In this episode, we explore:The difference between paid lead generation (ads) and organic visibility—and what that actually looks like in a coaching / service-based businessWhy reels and social media posts alone are not a content or client attraction strategy, especially if you sell higher-ticket, high-touch servicesHow to think about offers as content, and why your offer needs to be a sexy, transformational journey (not just a list of sessions or modules)The role of high-value, longer-form content—talks, workshops, masterclasses, podcasts, live events—in building authority, trust, and real relationships with your ideal clientsHow your content strategy supports my Yellow Brick Road framework (ATTRACT–SERVE–CONVERT) at every step of your client pathway, from first touch to “yes”A simple reverse-engineering process to look at what you want in 2026 (income, visibility, lifestyle, impact) and identify the content you'll need to create to make it possibleWhy 2026 will require you to “up-level” both your content game and your delivery skills—and how this connects to Your Genius Edge and my upcoming Serve & Deliver programThis episode is here to help you see your business through the lens of content: your offers, your message, your visibility, your thought leadership, your live experiences, and the way you invite people into your world. If you're dreaming bigger for 2026, this conversation will help you get honest about what you'll need to create—and how to start mapping that out now.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

We're celebrating a major milestone on Passionate & Prosperous: 200 episodes and 4 years of conversations about what it really means to build a transformational, service-based business and a purposeful, prosperous life.I started this show during the pandemic, at a moment when everything in the world felt uncertain and unstable. And as I reflect back on these four years—through all the shifts in the industry, the economy, technology, visibility, marketing, and our personal lives—what stands out the most is how the core principles I believed on day one have remained completely true today.The ideas I've always taught about service, connection, leadership, visibility, mastery, and the long game of building a meaningful business have not changed. They aren't tied to trends or algorithms. They are timeless foundations of sustainable, prosperous entrepreneurship—the kind that holds steady no matter what's happening in the world around us. These philosophies are as relevant now, heading into 2026, as they were when this show began in 2020.To honor this milestone, I'm sharing 10 things I still believe deeply about business and service—concepts that have shaped this show from the beginning, supported my clients across every stage of growth, and continue to guide what it looks like to build a business that lasts. These aren't tied to strategies or seasons; they're the perspectives and principles that actually matter when you're creating a sustainable, human-centered business that thrives through change.In this milestone episode, we explore:The enduring principles of transformational entrepreneurship that remain constant even as the world shiftsWhat continues to matter most in service, visibility, connection, relationship-building, and client attractionHow to stay grounded, focused, and resilient within a fast-moving, often noisy online landscapeWhy foundational philosophies always outlast tactics, trends, and algorithm-driven strategiesHow these 10 things have guided the show from its beginnings during the pandemic through every stage of evolutionThe mindset, energy, and leadership needed for long-term sustainability, growth, and prosperityWhat it really means to build a business anchored in mastery, purpose, values, and human transformationEpisode 200 is both a celebration of how far we've come and a reaffirmation of the deeper principles behind building a Passionate & Prosperous business. These ideas have carried this show—and this community—through four years of change, and they continue to point us toward what's possible now, in 2026, and for many years to come.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

After wrapping Passionate & Prosperous LIVE 2025—our fourth annual event—I realized something that every entrepreneur and high achiever needs to hear: basking and celebrating aren't luxuries, they're strategy.This week's episode of Passionate & Prosperous is about the part of entrepreneurship that doesn't get talked about enough—the space after the big thing. The launch, the event, the win. The part where you stop, breathe, and let yourself feel what you created before rushing into what's next.Because when you give yourself time to celebrate and integrate your accomplishments, you're not losing momentum—you're actually building it. Reflection and celebration are how you leverage your results into confidence, creativity, and sustainable business growth.In this episode, I'm sharing my reflections from this year's event and what it taught me about:Why basking and celebrating are essential to long-term successHow to reframe stress as evidence of expansion rather than something to fixThe importance of creating space for recovery, reflection, and integration in businessWhy celebration and self-care are both leadership and growth strategiesHow to build a business model that honors your energy, not just your ambitionWhether you've just come off a big launch, hosted an event, or reached a personal milestone, this episode will remind you that integration is momentum—and that every accomplishment deserves to be received, celebrated, and remembered.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

1. The Prosperous Mariner Community of Marblehead and its Revolutionary Leadership Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Marblehead was the second-largest port city in Massachusetts and a thriving cosmopolitan community, with a population estimated at about 5,000. Its economy relied heavily on fishing, specifically codfish from the Grand Banks, which were salted and traded globally via a massive merchant fleet. This commerce fostered some of the wealthiest men in the colonies. Key leaders included Jeremiah Lee, a man of enormous wealth and influence, and John Glover, a scrappy, stocky, red-haired self-made man who started as a cobbler and built a successful fleet of ships. These men, along with Elbridge Gerry, were prominent members of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, sitting on crucial committees of supply and safety. They leveraged their trade routes to bring in vital resources, such as gunpowder and cannon, securing Spain as the colonies' "first foreign aid" in 1774. Glover led the Marblehead Regiment, which was notably diverse, including African Americans like Caesar Glover and Romeo, who sailed and fought together.

When most of us start our coaching or service-based business, we're fired up to help people—not thinking about branding, messaging, or how to stand out online. But the truth is, you are a personal brand (whether you realize it or not) and the way you show up is shaping how people decide to work with you.In this week's episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm talking with my friend Kristin Lawton—the marketing mixologist behind District Brand Bar and a sponsor of Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!—about what it really means to build a brand that's 100% YOU (without flashy gimmicks or cookie-cutter formulas).Kristin has 20+ years in brand strategy and marketing, and she's the creator of the Signature Brand Dossier. She blends creativity, clarity, and a dash of AI to help solopreneurs and small business owners craft brands that are unforgettable.You'll hear us get real about:Why “brand” no longer just means logos, fonts and colors—and what it actually is in 2025 for coaches and experts.How to weave your lived experience, passions, and quirks into your business so you naturally stand out.Why values, trust, and customer experience are part of your brand (and how misalignment erodes credibility fast).How Kristin uses AI + her proprietary process to uncover your “signature brand” so marketing feels authentic, empowering, and human.The truth about social media and “being private in public”—and why sharing glimpses of your real life builds connection.Why creating unique, authentic offers and engaging with your audience is the key to building a strong community.Kristin also shares the story behind District Brand Bar, her “brand cocktail” approach, and the choose-your-own-adventure email experience she built so you can start exploring your own signature style. We dive into how branding intersects with trust, authenticity, and delivering on your promises—because your brand isn't just what people see on the outside, it's the experience they have with you every step of the way.Curious what your signature brand marketing style is?

Building a successful coaching business takes more than certifications, social media posts, or the “perfect” funnel. It takes confidence, resilience, and a willingness to face the messy truth of what it really means to be a coach and entrepreneur.In this week's episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm joined by Carey Peters—six-time founder, multi-million-dollar business builder, and co-founder of the Health Coach Institute—for a deep dive into the realities of coaching, entrepreneurship, and the mindset shifts that new (and experienced) coaches need to succeed.Carey shares openly about the fears and doubts she faced early on, and gives us a glimpse into how she didn't begin as the master coach who would go on to certify thousands of health and life coaches—but built her confidence, expertise, and businesses step by step. Together, we dig into the real journey—because building confidence in your coaching, your business, and yourself doesn't happen overnight. It happens in the mess.We talk about:✨ Why information isn't transformation—and what actually makes coaching valuable✨ The visibility fears every coach faces (yes, even seasoned performers)✨ Why niche is non-negotiable (and why it evolves over time)✨ The messy but necessary “testing” phase of business growth✨ The difference between investing in your skills vs. investing in your business✨ How to know when resistance is fear—and when it's misalignment✨ Why conversations—not funnels—are still the foundation of a thriving coaching business✨ The six things Carey believes every coach must master to succeed now and in the futureThis episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part masterclass in what it really takes to grow a coaching business that lasts.If you've ever thought, “Am I cut out for this?” or worried you're somehow behind, you need this episode. It's going to remind you that you're not broken, you're not late, and you're not alone. You're simply in the process of building the confidence and resilience that every successful coach before you has had to build, too.You can connect with Carey on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

In this solo episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm breaking down the three biggest problems I hear from coaches, creatives, and service-based experts that keep them from growing (and making money) in their business:

JANATYN SAYEH. Israel Amplifies Anti-Regime Messaging in Iran Amidst Shadow War and Rearmament Concerns. Iran anticipates war as Israel targets nuclear sites and supports the Iranian opposition, projecting a prosperous post-regime future. Tehran now sees Israel, not US, as the primary regime-change threat. China provides economic support, but Iran's proxies face rearmament challenges. Uncertainty on Iran's nuclear material and enrichment capacity fuels potential Israeli attacks. 1850 TEHRAN

You can't keep charging by the hour if you want to grow your service provider business. It's time to package up your skills into high-ticket offers that show off your expertise and the transformation you bring to the table. I know raising your rates can feel scary, and sometimes it's hard to even put into words the real value of what you do. I want you to step into those bigger offers with confidence, stop playing small, and get paid for the true impact you deliver!I'm joined by Stacey Brass-Russell, a Transformational Business and Life Coach who has helped hundreds of coaches, experts, and service providers build profitable, values-driven businesses.

In this episode, host Paul Jamison breaks down Chapter 7 of his book Level Up Your Money, sharing personal stories, biblical insights, and practical steps to transform a poverty mindset into one of prosperity for lasting financial success.

What if the very thing holding your business back isn't strategy or followers—but the fear of being seen? In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Stacey Brass-Russell—Broadway performer turned transformational business coach and host of Passionate & Prosperous. With a career spanning show business, yoga, and entrepreneurship, Stacey has mastered the art of showing up unapologetically and teaching others how to do the same.We dig into what it really takes to sell without feeling salesy, why confidence is a muscle you can build, and how to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. If you've ever hesitated to press “send” on that pitch, this conversation is your permission slip to shine.How Do You Sell Without Feeling “Salesy”?Stacey breaks down the difference between bro-marketer tactics and authentic selling. Instead of cold DMs and pushy tactics, she shares how to build real relationships and show up in service of your audience—so selling feels natural, not cringe.What If You're Afraid of Rejection?Rejection isn't just part of the game—it's proof you're actually playing. Stacey explains why she encourages her clients to collect rejections as a measure of progress and why your job isn't to convince everyone, but to find the right ones.The One Habit That Builds Confidence in BusinessConfidence doesn't just show up. Stacey reveals the daily mindset practices—affirmations, reframing, and radical permission—that fuel resilience and visibility.Personal Outreach: The Most Overlooked Sales StrategyForget obsessing over Instagram. Stacey makes the case for direct, human connection as the #1 activity that moves the needle in your business.Why Nobody's Thinking About You (and That's a Good Thing)One of Stacey's most freeing insights: people aren't scrutinizing your every move. In fact, most of the time, they're not thinking about you at all. That's why volume and consistency in outreach, pitching, and posting matter more than perfection.✅ Final Takeaway: You don't need to master every marketing hack or wait for the perfect pitch. What you need is:A daily practice that builds confidence and resilienceThe courage to connect directly with peopleThe willingness to be visible, imperfectlyWhen you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start leading with service, you'll unlock the kind of authentic visibility that grows your business.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – If the United States falls, it will not be from foreign conquest or economic miscalculation, but because we abandoned those principles. The choice is between a managed decline into global serfdom or a rebirth of self-government built on liberty. The first step is honesty about Social Security, about immigration, and about the future we want to build...
