Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind my decision to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after years of white-knuckling my way through menopause. Despite eating well, training hard, supplementing, and doing "all the right things," I found myself exhausted, depleted, struggling to build muscle, and feeling increasingly disconnected from the woman I knew myself to be. I also open up about the emotional crash that followed my experience on Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef—a season of intense pressure, self-reflection, and ultimately, reinvention. This isn't just a conversation about hormones. It's about what happens when we reach our breaking point and finally give ourselves permission to stop suffering in silence. In this episode, we'll discuss: • Why three doctors told me I didn't need HRT • The lab results that finally gave me answers • The signs I missed (and the ones I ignored) • The emotional aftermath of chasing big dreams • What Madonna taught me about reinvention at every age • Why midlife isn't a crisis—it's an invitation If you've ever felt dismissed, stuck, exhausted, or unsure of who you're becoming, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the breaking point isn't the end of your story. It's just the reinvention of it.

What happens when everything you've built after 18 years no longer feels aligned—and the future is a mystery? In this deeply personal solo episode of Follow Your Joy, I share the story behind my most significant reinvention in nearly two decades and the unexpected birth of my new company, Reverie + Velvet. For months, I felt caught between worlds. My intuition kept  telling me something needed to change. The coaching industry was changing in a big way. Technology and AI were disrupting how we work and connect. And despite countless pivots, new ideas, and attempts to find clarity, nothing seemed to really fit. What looked like an unraveling on the outside was actually making way for something very different. It was transformation and my "real" next identity. In this vulnerable conversation, I take you behind the scenes of a season marked by uncertainty, loss, grief, identity shifts, and the search for a more authentic way to express who I am at this stage of life. You'll hear:  • How a chance meeting at a local chamber event became the catalyst for an entirely new business • Why I reached a breaking point after years of working primarily online • The profound losses I experienced that quietly reshaped my life and perspective • What I learned about the "world between worlds" when an old identity is dissolving but the new one hasn't fully emerged • How intuition guided me when logic could not • The surprising way my entire three decade long career finally integrated into one unified mission I also share the story and meaning behind Reverie + Velvet—a creative house devoted to women artists, founders, and visionaries expanding into greater visibility, success, and self-expression. This episode is a reminder that what feels like unraveling is actually an evolution. Oftentimes the next chapter doesn't arrive when we're trying our darndest to figure things out. I believe it arrives when we stop thinking our way through it and instead listen very carefully to our intuition and our higher power, and allow life to reveal what has been waiting for us all along. For me, it was a God thing. God had been trying to show me and lead me where to land, but I was too busy in the weeds trying to figure it out! This episode isn't really about launching Reverie + Velvet, although I am very excited about this! It's about a woman who spent months searching, pivoting, grieving, questioning, praying, listening, and ultimately surrendering. It was a return to my: Creativity Entertainment roots Love of artistry A gift for storytelling A passion for visibility and personal branding The intuitive way of guiding women + men creatives even more deeply Desire for beauty, artistry, music, conversation, and meaningful connection If you're navigating uncertainty, craving reinvention, or sensing that a new chapter is calling your name, this conversation is for you. The truth is, when you follow your joy, you eventually find your way home.

Derek Champagne talks with George Barrios, former co-president of WWE, about the deal he made to reshape the global company, his public firing by Vince McMahon, the future of the sports industry, and his approach to leadership (and coping with public failure). Barrios tells his story in his new book Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt. ABOUT SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBTAt a time when leadership is under scrutiny and industries are being reshaped at breakneck speed, stories of bold decision-making and personal reinvention have never felt more essential. Readers are hungry for narratives that go beyond corporate gloss—stories that show how transformative deals actually unfold, how leaders make high-stakes decisions, and how grit still propels people to the highest levels of business. In SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE (Skyhorse Publishing; June 2, 2026), George Barrios—son of Cuban immigrants, former co-president of WWE, and architect of the largest transaction in sports history—offers exactly that kind of story. With unfiltered honesty and cinematic detail, Barrios traces his journey from a cramped Queens apartment to the boardrooms where he helped reshape a global entertainment company. Told with the humor, swagger, and introspection of a leader who has lived many careers in one lifetime, the book blends memoir and business insight to reveal how an outsider learned to trust his instincts, move decisively, and lead through uncertainty. Barrios brings readers inside the world of WWE: from his twelve-year partnership with Vince McMahon, to the media-rights revolution that redefined the company, to the personal and professional fallout of being fired in front of the entire industry. But the story reaches far beyond wrestling. It is equally a story of immigration, family resilience, cultural identity, and the relentless pursuit of upward mobility. Barrios reflects on:·       High-stakes leadership, including how he learned to take bold action despite backlash, uncertainty, and public scrutiny.·       The making of a massive sports deal, and the pressures, strategy, and behind-the-scenes dynamics that shaped an industry-defining negotiation.·       Immigrant grit and the American Dream, and how his parents' escape from Castro's Cuba shaped his path and worldview.·       Reinvention after public failure, including the firing that could have ended his career and the personal reckoning that followed.·       The cultural forces inside major entertainment companies, with unvarnished insight into ego, power, and the real cost of winning. Written with the immediacy of a ringside story and the heart of a family saga, SOMETIMES WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT is more than a business memoir. It is a testament to risk-taking, reinvention, and the belief that anyone—regardless of where they begin—can shape their own future.Order book here: https://georgebarrios.com/Business Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

The conversation delves into the mental struggles of living outside the law, the importance of honesty in storytelling, and how adversity can shape confidence and identity. Ian emphasizes that our past does not define our future and encourages listeners to embrace their own journeys of transformation. Takeaways Ian Jarvis's life story is a testament to resilience. Living as a fugitive brings constant mental strain. Reinvention requires understanding one's true self. Honesty in storytelling is crucial for authenticity. Character traits can be powerful tools if used wisely. Confidence can stem from necessity, not just self-assurance. Listening to others is key to understanding them.

Sanne shares what she learned the hard way about running on empty, why she believes the nervous system is the foundation of performance, and how she thinks entrepreneurs (and parents) can protect their energy without living under rigid “perfect routine” rules.In this episode, we talk about:- Sanne's path from fashion and the “hamster wheel” of entrepreneurship to a health crisis that forced reinvention- A simple explanation of frequency therapy and why she calls it “plug-and-play” for busy people- The difference between optimizing your health with freedom vs following strict biohacking routines that don't fit real life- Why sleep and recovery are non-negotiables for sustainable performance (and how wearables can help track progress)- Leading a global business in the AI era: faster execution, higher expectations, and the new leadership challenge of keeping quality high- Sanne's perspective on raising kids for the future: critical thinking, cultural adaptability, and learning through real-world experience- A message for entrepreneurs with an idea: test it, iterate, and stop waiting for permissionMemorable ideas to listen for:- Why “reinventing yourself every Monday” is becoming the new normal for leaders- The shift from long-term business plans to short, flexible planning cycles- The mindset of building something people don't understand yet — and staying committed anywayConnect with Sanne on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanne-kiilerich-b69417/ Connect with ANF:Practitioner education: ANF Academy —  https://anfacademy.com/ Direct-to-consumer wellness products: ANF Care —  https://anf.care/ Find a practitioner network: ANF Therapy —  https://anftherapy.com/Sports performance programs: ANF Sports Pro —  https://anfsportspro.com/ If you're a high-achieving entrepreneur who's been pushing through exhaustion, let this be your reminder: your business can't outgrow your nervous system.If you enjoyed the episode, share it with a friend who's in a reinvention season, and tag Maggie when it goes live so she can thank you and reshare.

You can be successful and still feel wasted, and that's where reinvention starts. We talk with Jay Sargent, entrepreneur, coach, speaker, and author of Shift: The Gift of Reinvention, about what it really takes to change your life when you're burned out, stuck, or quietly wondering if your best years already passed. Jay isn't selling a fantasy. He's lived the pivots, seven times, and he's honest about the fear, the grief, and the discomfort that comes with starting over. Jay breaks down the patterns behind career change and midlife reinvention: why titles don't define you, why “no small moments” can redirect your entire future, and how a simple 15-minute ask to the right people can open doors you didn't know existed. We also dig into why credentials are overrated, how real selling is just rapport and clarity, and how NLP reshaped the way Jay thinks about communication, relationships, and helping people move from hesitation to action. Then we go deeper with stories that hit you in the gut and raise your standards at the same time, including his grandmother finding love at 92 and a 90-plus-year-old who keeps a yearly growth and development budget. If you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s and you feel “too late,” this conversation offers practical steps: do a personal inventory, name what you're good at, and build a simple path from skill to business to freedom.

Elizabeth welcomes Robin Arzon - Peloton instructor, ultra-endurance athlete, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and creator of the Project Swagger podcast. Before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in wellness, Robin spent eight years as a corporate litigator in New York City, questioning whether feeling “just okay” was really the standard she wanted for her life. Robin and Elizabeth dive into the mindset shift that took her from law to fitness, how tuning into flow state helped her redesign her career, and why she chose to feel “proudly tired” instead of simply exhausted. Robin also shares the daily rituals behind her intense training schedule, from sleep optimization and recovery to the plant-based, protein-packed staples and philosophy behind her new cookbook, Eat To Hustle, and explains why movement, sleep, and fuel remain her top three non‑negotiables for thriving.

What he built on the other side of that journey is one of the most thoughtful, science-backed, and genuinely human approaches to recovery I've ever come across.Jimmie's guiding principle is simple but powerful: there are as many doorways to recovery as there are people. The moment you force everyone through the same door, you start losing them. Addiction is customized to the individual, and so recovery has to be too.We go deep on the 4 doors every person in recovery moves through, the real neuroscience behind why 30-day programs fail, what it takes to reach someone who hasn't admitted they have a problem yet, and the vision Jimmie is building toward, including a new facility in the Black Hills to serve the Lakota Nation, where the average adult male dies at 47.The people you'll hear from in this episode - Ryan, Travis, Sheldon, and Talbot - all came through Jimmie's program and now work inside it. They are proof the doors exist.In this episode, Jimmie and I break down:Why the traditional recovery system keeps cycling people through failure - and what the alternative looks likeThe 4 doors to recovery and what each one actually means in a person's lifeReal stories from men who hit every kind of rock bottom, and what finally changedWhy rock bottom is not always required, and why waiting for it is sometimes fatalThe science behind brain rewiring and why 6 to 8 months is the real minimumHow intentional stress, nature, and brotherhood are built into the treatment modelThe role of multi-generational trauma, especially in Native American communitiesWhat Jimmie is building next - the app, the Black Hills facility, and the $7 million askNote: The experiences and recovery stories shared in this episode are real accounts from individuals who went through Jimmie's program.

If you haven't listened to last week's sit-down with former NFL star Marcus Ogden yet — go do that first. This week, Julie and Mika return to unpack every layer of his extraordinary rise, fall, and second act. Marcus went from being a dominant NFL player and minority contractor holding Baltimore's top government contract — to making $8.15 an hour cleaning restrooms. This is what rock bottom really looks like, and more importantly, what the climb back up teaches us all. Jules and Mika explore how Marcus was able to share his story without emotional charge — speaking from wisdom rather than wound — and why that signals a man truly living his mission. They dig into the parallels between addiction to substances and addiction to status, success, and dopamine, asking the question: is ego just another drug? "To have an ego that big, it had to be brought down. His rock bottom was a way of showing the height of where he was — and for him to come back from that, it's almost like he is called to share this." — Mika Altidor KEY TAKEAWAYS: Ego is a dopamine loop. Marcus replaced drug and alcohol addiction with the high of being "number one" — the most successful minority contractor in Baltimore. Success without humility can be its own trap. Comeback stories are rare — and that's why they matter. Jules and Mika reflect on how few people actually return from that depth of loss. Marcus's story is a Cinderella story because the odds were against him, and he made it anyway. Rock bottom can be a reset, not an ending. For Marcus, cleaning toilets wasn't the end of his story — it was the stripping away of everything fake so the real self could rebuild. Shared vulnerability is mission work. When you've been through something extraordinary, telling the truth about it stops being personal — it becomes a calling. Marcus embodies that shift. Check your ego before the universe does. Mika shares her own moment of realizing praise was inflating her sense of self. The universe has a way of recalibrating — best to do it yourself first. ABOUT THE HOSTS: Julie Lokun (https://julielokun.com) is a life coach, author, and the visionary behind the Get Obsessed Podcast — a show dedicated to stories that unlock human potential.

What does it really take to build a business people don't just notice, but remember? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Jon Bond, co-founder of Kirshenbaum Bond and a pioneer in modern advertising, to talk about the mindset, risks, culture, and reinvention behind building one of the most influential independent agencies of its time. Jon shares what it took to grow from a scrappy startup into an iconic agency, why culture became one of their greatest advantages, and what founders today can learn from the way his team challenged norms, trusted their instincts, and evolved at every stage of growth. From finding your "tip of the spear" to building a culture people actually feel, Jon breaks down what separates brands that blend in from businesses that leave a lasting mark. Why Culture is Your Greatest Competitive Advantage At Kirshenbaum Bond, culture was one of the greatest drivers of the agency's success. It was lived, felt, and instantly recognizable. You either "got it," or you didn't. That sense of belonging created something rare: an environment where creativity could thrive because people felt accepted as they were. No split between "work self" and "real self." The result was a magnetic energy that attracted bold thinkers, fueled innovation, and built loyalty that lasted decades, even long after the agency itself evolved. Jon challenges the idea that culture can be engineered through documentation. Instead, he emphasizes that real culture starts with founders: how they show up, what they tolerate, and the energy they create. When done right, it becomes the heartbeat of the business and a powerful driver of growth. The Power of Focus, Reinvention, and the "Tip of the Spear" In a world where everyone claims to do everything, Jon makes one thing clear: the businesses that win are the ones that own a specific edge. He calls this the "tip of the spear," the one thing you do better than anyone else that opens the door. Once trust is built, everything else can follow. But without that sharp point of differentiation, you blend into the noise. Growth, however, doesn't stop there. Jon compares scaling a business to climbing levels in baseball. Each stage requires new skills, new thinking, and a willingness to reinvent. What worked before won't always get you to the next level. That mindset carries into today's landscape, where AI is reshaping the rules. While knowledge is becoming commoditized, Jon emphasizes that talent, the innate ability to think differently, create, and connect emotionally, will always be the edge. The future belongs to those who can combine human creativity with technological power. Enjoy this episode with Jon Bond… Soundbytes 06:01–06:40 "What made us really successful was a bunch of things. Most people, they were much older than us when they started an agency. They were like, 'This is how you do it, and I'm going to do that.' Right? We started an agency going, 'We don't know anything. We'll listen and ask everyone.' So if there was something we didn't know, that's what we would do. So we were actually — even though people thought we were egomaniacs — we were actually more humble. We knew what we didn't know, let me put it that way. And so then we could evolve with the world. And these other people were kind of stuck at a moment in time. We passed by all of them." 22:26–22:44 "So I always say to people, you have to find the tip of the spear. What's the thing that will get you in the door — that they have to have — that you do better than anyone else. And then the funniest thing is if you do that, and you're really good at that, they give you a bunch of other things, because they trust you." Quotes "If you have to write your core values, you don't have them." "Knowledge can be learned. Talent is the edge." "The future creative team is human plus machine." "Culture isn't what you say — it's what people feel."

Reinvention isn't aesthetic… it's uncomfortable.In this episode, I'm talking about what starting over actually looks like—the part no one shares.From the emotional weight of losing your identity… to the messy middle where nothing feels clear… to the moment you realize you have to move anyway.If you're in a season of change, uncertainty, or trying to rebuild your life, this is for you.Because reinvention isn't about having it all figured out.It's about deciding to keep going… even when you don't.BLK + WILD Podcast - Ep.6: What Reinvention Actually Looks Like (Not the Aesthetic Version)Enjoyed this episode?

It's rare in personal finance that someone comes along and doesn't just offer advice—but completely rewires how we think about money, work, and what it means to live a good life.My guest today did exactly that.Pete Adeney—better known as Mr. Money Mustache—helped ignite the FIRE movement long before it was trending on TikTok or debated on cable news. His message? Radical, at the time: Spend less, live intentionally, invest wisely—and you might just buy yourself the freedom to walk away from traditional work decades early.And here's the thing—Pete didn't just write about it. He lived it. Retiring in his early 30s, raising a family on his own terms, and building a cult-like following of readers who wanted to do the same.I've actually had a front-row seat to his journey. We first met more than a decade ago, filming in his backyard in Colorado, when his blog was just beginning to take off.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down some of the biggest lessons from his conversation with Josh Peck — actor, creator, author, and former Nickelodeon star best known for Drake & Josh. Travis dives into Josh's journey from child stardom to reinventing himself as a modern creator, including the struggles, rejection, ego death, and vulnerability that helped him stay relevant in Hollywood and online. The episode explores how authenticity, resilience, and embracing uncertainty can open the door to long-term success. On this episode we talk about: Why vulnerability and authenticity are critical for creators and entrepreneurs How ego can block growth and reinvention Josh Peck's transition from child actor to creator and Hollywood actor Why sharing your story before “making it” can create deeper impact The real meaning of money: freedom, flexibility, and options Learning to focus only on what you can control Top 3 Takeaways Vulnerability is not weakness — authenticity builds trust, connection, and longevity in both business and content creation. Reinvention requires ego death. Growth often means letting go of old identities, habits, and assumptions about yourself. Money is most valuable when it creates options and freedom, not just status or material possessions. Notable Quotes “You cannot get to the next version of yourself without shedding the prior version of yourself.” “Do the work, show up, and let the outcome be someone else's problem.” “Money is options, not things.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell  Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: Are you ready to start your own creator journey and make it big?

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Attorney Ryan is a workers' rights lawyer, former firefighter, and author of Get It in Writing: The Ultimate Guide to Your Rights at Work. Known online for his practical legal advice and relatable approach, Ryan has built a massive following by helping everyday workers understand labor laws, negotiate better outcomes, and avoid getting taken advantage of at work. In this episode, he shares hard-earned lessons from both the fire service and the courtroom, breaks down common workplace misconceptions, and explains why protecting your paycheck is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. On this episode we talk about: Why understanding labor laws is critical for building long-term wealth Common workplace violations employees don't realize are illegal How toxic work environments and bad bosses can derail your career Ryan's transition from firefighter to workers' rights attorney How social media helped Ryan grow his law practice and educate millions online Top 3 Takeaways Your paycheck is your biggest wealth-building tool, so learning how to protect it is just as important as learning how to invest. Many employees — and employers — don't fully understand labor laws, which leads to unpaid overtime, wage theft, and unhealthy work expectations. Reinvention requires humility. Ryan's success came from being willing to start over, stay curious, and continuously learn new skills. Notable Quotes “No one teaches you the rules to the most important game you'll ever play — your career.” “Hard work has no intrinsic value if it's not actually getting you where you want to go.” “Ego is your enemy.

Lauren Griewski is Managing Director and Head of Sales and Partnerships at Chase Media Solutions, connecting brands to 87 million customers. Meta. Rokt. Founder. 40 Under 40. Fabulous? Completely.

In this first episode of the new COMEBACKS series, I spoke with my longtime friend Jessica Murnane about reinvention, knowing when to move on, and why I tend to linger in the past too long. We talk about creative pivots, grief around letting go, and starting again—without forcing it. Jess shares how she's built multiple careers, moved cities, why she's not nostalgic, and the simple question she always comes back to when she's stuck: What are you waiting for? Let us know if you listen. Key Insights:  Starting something new can be the fastest way to let go of something old. Reinvention isn't always strategic—it's often a gut feeling that it's time to move on. Lingering (in careers, relationships, identities) is often about fear, not timing. Nostalgia can keep us stuck. Success isn't recognition or fame—it's often feeling financially and emotionally steady. Movement is one of the best ways to shift your mental state when stuck, even just a few minutes. Aging narratives are mostly cultural noise—you don't have to opt in. And extremely boring.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by my friend and fellow mastermind member, Rianne Klein Getlink, for a conversation about authenticity, self-expression, and the subtle ways we learn to wear masks to fit into the world around us. We talk about how conditioning, professional expectations, and social pressure can slowly disconnect us from who we naturally are, along with why the things that feel most effortless to us are often the biggest clues to our authentic selves. We also explore two Dutch words that don't have direct English translations but completely change the way we think about ease, joy, anticipation, and possibility. This episode is a reminder that reinvention is always available and that maybe the parts of yourself you've been trying to tone down are actually the parts that were meant to shine the brightest. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Many women unknowingly wear “masks” to fit in • What feels effortless may reveal your authentic self • Conditioning can disconnect us from our natural energy • Anticipation and joy are experiences worth cultivating • “Yes, and” thinking creates more creativity and possibility • Small mindset shifts can change your energy quickly • Reinvention is possible at any stage of lifeABOUT GUEST:Most of us desire to BE ourselves in every context, yet as we age we create a multitude of filters and masks between who we are and how we express ourselves. Rianne (49, The Netherlands) is on a mission to bring out all and more that what makes you YOU into the world.We're all born with an innate energy that wants to be expressed and instead of dimming your light, let's amplify all that lives in you so that we get to witness the real you and in return you feel actually seen as you.A Less Stressed Life because you get to live it as YOU.WHERE TO FIND GUEST:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riannekleingeltink/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kies.vanuit.je.krachtNUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE:

  AI is changing how we work, create, and lead. But as technology gets faster, the most valuable leadership skills may be the most human ones: creativity, judgment, authenticity, and reinvention.  In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, Susan Drumm speaks with Jason Miller about how leaders can stay relevant in an AI-driven world. Jason shares why it's risky to become too one-dimensional, how to build a unique "talent stack," and why putting your ideas into the world before you feel fully ready can become a powerful growth practice.  Together, Susan and Jason explore what it takes to break old patterns, develop a distinct point of view, and lead with more creativity and courage as the future of work continues to evolve.  Subscribe and listen on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform. 

What if your biggest competitive advantage is already sitting inside your business, untapped?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Michael Rozbruch and Isaac Park to talk about how they built AutoDrive CRM, the nation's only marketing CRM designed specifically for tax resolution professionals.Michael spent 16 years growing a tax resolution firm from a dining room table startup into a $23 million company. After exiting in 2014, he launched Roz Strategies with his wife and business partner Rosalind, and went on to coach and train over 14,000 tax professionals. But his members kept running into the same wall: they couldn't automate the follow-up the way Michael had.Isaac Park came in as a digital marketing and automation specialist and helped Michael do something remarkable,he took decades of proven IP and packaged it into a scalable platform that any tax resolution pro can use.One beta user, CPA Toph Sheldon, went from struggling to convert leads at $400K-$600K to projecting $1.8 million in 2025, without spending more on marketing. Just better follow-up.This conversation is a masterclass in mentor-to-implementer partnerships, turning intellectual property into leverage, and why the niche you ignore might be the biggest opportunity in your market.In this episode, we cover:Why the best tech partner is probably already inside your business - and how to spot themMichael's 11-touch, 180-day follow-up system that converted 67% of unconverted consultationsHow Isaac learned to listen for the outcome first and fill in the technical details secondWhy most tax pros (and professional practice owners) have a case management system, not a real marketing CRMThe difference between a yes-man and a true problem solver - and why it matters for any partnershipHow Michael and Rosalind earmark a monthly budget specifically for testing and learningWhat the AutoDrive beta rollout taught them about building scalable software from proven IPWhere Ai fits into the future of AutoDrive - and what "solo millionaires" could look like in this industryTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction: packaging decades of expertise into a scalable product02:14 - Michael's origin story: from fired on the 405 to $23M firm05:05 - Discovering the IP: how a tax resolution business became a coaching empire07:12 - Isaac joins the story: from implementation to partnership09:14 - What to look for in a tech partner (and where to find them)14:26 - Isaac's approach: submit to the authority, earn the freedom21:05 - The 11-touch, 180-day follow-up system that converts 67% of leads25:30 - Toph Sheldon: from $600K to $1.8M using AutoDrive38:01 - How to decide what to build next - and what to leave alone43:30 - Advice to their past selves: move faster, solve the big problem soonerDiscover More

What happens when a multimillion-dollar photography business goes to near-zero almost overnight during the pandemic? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki unpack the hard reset that forced a shift from chasing revenue to building a truly profitable, scalable business.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki discuss: Scott's journey from photographer to entrepreneur and business advisor What it's like to lose a successful business overnight during the pandemic The difference between chasing revenue and building a profitable company Why do many entrepreneurs ignore financial leaks in their business How mindset shifts and coaching help you rebuild and refocus   Key Takeaways: Revenue growth alone doesn't equal success; profitability is what sustains a business. The pandemic exposed weaknesses in many business models, forcing leaders to rethink scalability and resilience. Entrepreneurs often overlook hidden financial leaks that quietly erode profitability. A shift in mindset, from operator to strategic business owner, is critical for long-term growth. Coaching and outside perspective can accelerate clarity and help leaders pivot more effectively.   "We're all looking for revenue, revenue generating, getting leads and getting customers and funnels and getting—but what about the cash in your business that's probably going out the door that you don't even know?” — Scott Proposki   About Scott Proposki: Scott Proposki is a photographer, entrepreneur, and author with 27 years behind the camera, capturing stories for National Geographic, the White House, Microsoft, HBO, and top global brands. In 2019, he released Camera Focus to help creatives with ADHD harness their strengths. He never expected the book to save him when the pandemic wiped out his business in a week. After three years of silence, depression, and rebuilding, its principles helped him reinvent himself and create the Camera Focus Method™, a system empowering photographers to build confident, resilient businesses. Today, Scott's mission is bigger than photography.   Connect with Scott Proposki:   Website: www.scottproposki.com Email: scott@scottproposki.com Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Scott-Proposki/author/B07SD2KV79 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottproposki/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/111333847127347 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/photographybusinessmadesimple       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

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

Guest: Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, Founder & CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA)  From Betrayal to Breakthrough with Dr. Debi Silber  Episode Overview  What does it take to reinvent yourself — not once, but multiple times? In this warm and inspiring conversation, Dr. Debi Silber welcomes her dear friend Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, a clinical psychologist, functional medicine expert, and founder of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). Sandy launched FMCA at 65 and is now thriving in her late 70s — lifting weights, dancing ballet and tap, and training other health coaches to change lives. This episode is a masterclass in courage, identity, self-efficacy, and what becomes possible when you stop letting age (or other people's opinions) define you.  Meet Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum  Dr. Sandy Scheinbaum has worn many professional hats across five decades:  Elementary education teacher — pivoted after struggling with classroom management  Learning disabilities specialist — thrived in one-on-one settings  Independent floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange — a short-lived but clarifying experiment  Clinical and health psychologist — a long, fulfilling career specializing in chronic illness, biofeedback, and mind-body medicine  Functional medicine practitioner — added certification to deepen her clinical work  Founder & CEO of FMCA — launched at 65 to train health coaches in functional medicine and positive psychology principles    What You'll Hear in This Episode  Why failure and "career dead ends" are often the best redirects  How Sandy tuned out the naysayers — including her own husband — and launched FMCA anyway  The role courage, creativity, and community play in reinvention at any age  Why identity is not fixed — and how midlife is a profound opportunity for identity development  Sandy's daily movement routine: strength training, ballet, tap dance, yoga, and "exercise snacks"  How self-efficacy — the belief that your actions matter — is the foundation of health transformation  What happens to self-efficacy after betrayal, and how the right support can restore it  How health coaches trained in positive psychology help clients reconnect with their strengths, purpose, and possibility  The importance of The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™ in moving from stuck to transformed    Key Takeaways  Reinvention isn't a detour — it's the path.  Every career "failure" in Sandy's life led her somewhere better. What looked like a dead end was actually a redirection toward greater meaning and purpose.  Your identity is not fixed.  Just as adolescence is a critical period for identity formation, so is midlife. You can try on new identities — athlete, entrepreneur, artist — at any stage of life.  Movement is non-negotiable — but it's personal.  Sandy didn't become athletic until her 70s. She now has more muscle than she did in her 40s. The key isn't a one-size-fits-all plan — it's finding what you enjoy and making it a habit.  Self-efficacy is everything.  The belief that your choices matter — in your health, your career, your healing — is the foundation of transformation. Betrayal often shatters that belief. A skilled coach helps rebuild it.  You can't imagine where you'll end up — and that's okay.  Just as no one could have imagined cell phones or AI, you cannot predict the fullness of what's ahead. The invitation is to start anyway.  The "okay" is the most dangerous place.  When things are fine but not fulfilling, many people stay stuck. The "okay" is what keeps people from reaching for more.  Quotable Moments  "Change is possible. You're never too old. It's never too late. And reinventing yourself is good." — Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum  "When you are changing, you are mobilizing those underutilized parts of you that are tied into having greater meaning and purpose." — Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum  "I train for my future self — so I can lift groceries, put things on the shelf, get down on the floor and get back up again." — Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum  "Nothing good comes from embarrassment or shame." — Dr. Albert Ellis (cited by Dr. Scheinbaum)  "The okay is the most soul-sucking thing." — Dr. Debi Silber    About Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum  Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum is a clinical psychologist, functional medicine practitioner, and the founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). She launched FMCA at age 65 to train health coaches in the principles of functional medicine and positive psychology. FMCA is now a nationally recognized program receiving top accolades and attracting talented practitioners from around the world. Sandy is also a dancer, weightlifter, yogi, and living proof that reinvention has no expiration date.  Connect with Dr. Scheinbaum  Website: functionalmedicinecoaching.org  Instagram: @DrSandi    Connect with Dr. Debi Silber & The PBT Institute  Website: thepbtinstitute.com  Podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough  Book: UNSTUCK: The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation  Learn about Post Betrayal Syndrome® and The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™ at thepbtinstitute.com    If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that it's never too late to become who they're meant to be.
