Hey Family Brand — it's Melissa here, and I am SO excited to introduce you to today's guest, the incredible Kelly O'Neil. I have been a fan of Kelly's work for years, and I'm still processing this conversation — it was that impactful. Kelly is a strategist, a visionary, and a total powerhouse when it comes to helping people build legacy businesses without sacrificing what matters most. She's worked with Fortune 500s, celebrity entrepreneurs, and industry disruptors, and today, she's bringing that same level of insight to us as families. In this episode, we're talking about a concept I love: Epic Is the New Hustle. Kelly believes that we were never meant to burn out trying to “have it all.” Instead, we're meant to create something sustainable, purposeful, and aligned with our unique calling — and that starts at home. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to live more intentionally, this conversation will expand your vision in the best way. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Kelly shares how “life doesn't happen in a vacuum” — meaning, we can't just build businesses in isolation from our family and our values. She challenges us to define success on our terms and reminds us that hustle culture is not the only way. As women especially, we have the power to choose what our days look like, how we raise our kids, and how we lead. Kelly also talks about the importance of emotional intelligence, energetic alignment, and trusting your own wisdom. She reminds us that legacy isn't just about what we build — it's about how we live. You'll hear practical tips for getting clear on your family values, creating systems that support your lifestyle, and making space for creativity and fun again. And I'm thrilled to share that Kelly has gifted our Family Brand audience an exclusive bundle of resources to help you start living your own “epic” life today.

What happens when we stop treating communication as a soft skill and start recognizing it as the core of effective patient care? In this episode, I talk with UK-based physio and medical communication educator Ben Whybrow about why connection, tone, and storytelling matter more than ever in healthcare. Ben shares how his journey through persistent pain care and teaching at Cambridge Medical School led him to a powerful realization: if your patient doesn't feel heard, your plan won't work. We dive deep into motivational interviewing, emotional intelligence, the parallels between sales and healthcare, and why open-ended questions are the real clinical superpower. Ben also unpacks the cultural shift toward more psychologically informed care, and how students and seasoned clinicians alike can improve outcomes by asking better questions. This episode is packed with insight, perspective, and plenty of British charm.

On the eve of July 4th, co-authors Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman joined Equiano Project Head of Content Ada Akpala for an insightful conversation about blackness and race identity with noted podcaster Danielle Romero.  A native of Troy, New York, Danielle discovered one day that her putative French and Irish maternal great grandmother Lola Perot had spent all her married life passing for white in New York. In fact, Lola was born Creole (colored) in Louisiana. In a fascinating roundtable, we explore where does Romero land in our country's obsession with racial identity? What does it mean when a European American discovers the story of one's family was a racial lie? Is it possible that Romero's origin story can bring us closer to connection in our universal humanity? Is the true impact of Danielle's story not her ancestor who passed for white, but that Danielle's mixed ancestry is a lens into our racial future as Americans?  In a sense, Danielle is the tip of a spear. More and more Americans will discover they are of multiple ancestry groups over time. Come join us for an hour with a national leader in the hunt for identity sans race.    Podcast NotesDanielle Romero's Podcast, NYTNThe Equiano Project https://www.theequianoproject.com/My great grandmother hid who she was. 20 years later I understand why | Opinion, The Tennessean, Danielle RomeroRace Is Beginning to Bore Me, Winkfield Twyman, Jr. The Legacies of Black Pioneers: The Problem with Black Excellence with Ada Akpala, The Dissidents PodcastAre Light-Skinned People the White People of the Black Community? Winkfield Twyman, Jr.The Souls of Black Folk, Winkfield Twyman, Jr.This is Your Brain on AI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dissidents Podcast

You'll hear how my daughter Logan's health challenges made financial freedom not just a goal, but an urgent mission. I dive into the emotional shifts, the mindset changes, and the practical steps that helped my wife and me build a life that gives us the time and presence our family needs—right now.   If you're a parent who wants more than just a big bank account—and you're ready to start living life on your own terms today—this episode is for you. Timeline Summary: [0:00] - How fatherhood shattered my old definition of financial freedom. [2:18] - Our path from $304,000 in debt to millionaires by age 30.

We're constantly told to “do more with less” — but what if that's the wrong goal altogether?In this episode, Eric and Jonathan challenge the traditional definition of efficiency and unpack why it can be a trap for social impact organizations. From donor pressure to staff burnout, they explore how the pursuit of efficiency often undermines effectiveness — and what to prioritize instead if you're serious about sustainable, meaningful impact.➔ Why efficiency and innovation often live at opposite ends of the spectrum. ➔ How serving the process can slowly kill your mission. ➔ What to say when funders fixate on overhead (and how to shift the conversation to impact). ➔ A smarter definition of efficiency: spending time on the right work, not just more work. ➔ What systemic inefficiency looks like — and how to fix it without burning everything down.If you're feeling the pressure to cut corners, over-optimize, or stretch your team thin in the name of “efficiency,” this episode will help you step back, reframe the problem, and refocus on what actually moves the needle.Don't chase efficiency.

Her journey is defined by bold leaps, learning from failure, and empowering others to build careers with multiple streams of income and real fulfillment. On this episode we talk about: – Ilana's first entrepreneurial hustle at age four—and her early lessons in value (and parental panic) – The story behind raising $800,000 in weeks, only to be ousted by her co-founder and left with nothing – How hitting rock bottom led to a period of personal and professional crisis—and the steps she took to rebuild her momentum – The power of action over analysis: why doing—even when you don't know what to do—creates clarity and new opportunities – Redefining career success: the shift from a single-track “scripted” career to a dynamic, experimental “portfolio career” – How Ilana built Leap Academy from a small experiment into a multi-million dollar business and top-charting podcast – The importance of failure, resilience, and hunger in founders—and why she bets on entrepreneurs who've been through adversity – Frameworks for evaluating new ventures, both as a founder and investor – How Leap Academy helps mid-to-late career professionals reinvent themselves, build multiple income streams, and thrive in an ever-changing world – The future of professional education, corporate partnerships, and the rise of coaching and community-driven learning Top 3 Takeaways 1.

Portfolio Careers Are the Future: Building multiple streams of income and diverse professional experiences is the new path to wealth, fulfillment, and resilience. 3. Failure Fuels Growth: The best founders and leaders are those who've faced—and learned from—major setbacks, not just those with a string of successes. Notable Quotes – “The clarity came from the momentum, not just thinking about it or dreaming about it—the doing created the result.” – “Look at your career as a series of experiments, not a single direction for the next 20 or 30 years. That takes all the fear away.” – “The biggest cost is always the money we're not making—the cost of inaction is higher than the cost of failure.” Connect with Ilana Golan: – Website: leapacademy.com – Portfolio Careers: portfoliocareer.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.
