The Founderz Lounge Episode #75 with Nikki Boxler.In this episode, Don Varady and Steve Bon sit down with Nikki Boxler, founder of The Maple Farmer, to talk about the truth behind maple syrup, farm entrepreneurship, and what most people don't realize about how real maple products are made.Nikki shares her journey growing up on a dairy and maple farm in Western New York, leaving for corporate work, and eventually returning home to build her own maple syrup business. The conversation dives into how the maple industry actually works, why most “maple syrup” on store shelves isn't what people think, and what it takes to turn an agricultural passion into a real business.Along the way, they discuss farming life, branding local products, and the realities of producing something natural in a world driven by mass production.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[00:58] Nikki Boxler's Origin Story[04:19] Why Launch a Maple Spin-Off Brand[06:11] How Maple Tapping Actually Works[12:57] Growth Plans for The Maple Farmer[17:45] How Nikki Sets Pricing[20:08] Saying No to Growth Opportunities[26:15] Getting Into the Outdoors[31:29] Plans for Agritourism[34:16] Managing Tree Health and Sustainability[39:01] Where to Find NikkiKey Takeaways:  • “Most of what's labeled maple syrup in stores isn't actually maple syrup.” ~Nikki Boxler• Standardizing your product and process early can make shipping, packaging, and scaling far simpler. ~Nikki Boxler• “It means more to me to keep it this size than to grow it just to make money off of it.” ~Nikki Boxler• Selling direct to consumers allows a level of connection and trust that disappears when you hand distribution to someone else. ~Nikki Boxler• “I literally am every single touch point… from tapping the tree to packaging.” ~Nikki Boxler• Nature, craftsmanship, and story are what make small brands memorable in a world of mass-produced products. ~Don Varady• People connect more deeply with products when they know who made them and where they came from. ~Steve BonConnect with Nikki Boxler:Website: https://themaplefarmer.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaplefarmer/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@maplefarmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikki-boxler/ Connect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

In this episode, I'm joined by Simon Oslender, and I'm not exaggerating when I say his playing lit me up the first time I heard it: pure joy, but with real depth underneath. We talk about growing up in a deeply musical home, starting on drums, and the exact “big bang” moment when a John Mayall live DVD (and Tom Canning on Hammond B3) made Simon lock in on the organ for life.We get into Simon's early recording experiments, how he writes (often away from the instrument, grabbing voice memos before ideas disappear), and his relationship with theory—especially his favorite framing: theory shouldn't tell you what to do, it should explain what you're hearing. And then we go deep on the dream-team reality of All That Matters: recording with Steve Gadd and Will Lee and how that session turned into a tour, and what it takes to keep your head straight when your heroes show up fully prepared to play your music.Music from the Episode:On a Roll (Simon Oslender)In Good Hands (Simon Oslender)Cruisin' (Simon Oslender)Quite Logical (Simon Oslender)Thank you for listening.

Recently, I heard neuroscientist Emily McDonald share something that stopped me in my tracks on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast: one major reason we get stuck in procrastination is because we're “chasing cheap dopamine.”It's that quick-hit comfort—constant snacking, scrolling, or little rewards—that keeps us from doing the deeper, more nourishing things that actually leave us feeling accomplished.For me, my version of cheap dopamine was taking myself out to dinner… Even when I could've been home working on personal projects that truly matter to me—and eating just as beautifully.That's where Recipes 4 Survival continues to show up as something constant and grounding in my life. More than a job, more than a routine—it fulfills me in a way that's hard to describe until you've felt it yourself.And this dish, melted cabbage, is the perfect example.It's simple, economical, and deeply comforting—and the joy and sense of accomplishment I get from making it far exceeds anything I would've had to forage for in the bitter cold anyway.Now, don't get me wrong: I absolutely believe in treating yourself. I love dining out, and when I do, I order whatever I wouldn't make at home.But if you're thinking, “Sure, you can cook like this because you're a chef,” I promise—I can coach you in a way that makes cooking at home feel not only doable but genuinely empowering.So let's get into it.This is a fabulous one-pan dish: silky, oven-finished cabbage wedges with a bold tahini–balsamic–quince dressing. No fancy knife skills, no fuss — just a beautiful ritual you can make your own.In this episode:choosing to cook at home as an act of self-carecutting, searing, and braising cabbage wedgesbuilding a light bouillon with a little chili heatmaking a tahini–balsamic–quince dressingoven timing, glazing, and finishing uncoveredserving ideas: rice, toasted baguette, or straight from the panreflections on comfort, routine, and mindful eatingand an open question: nuclear winter vs. global warmingIf you have any questions or want more recipes and guidance, visit recipes4survival.com.MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

Leadership isn't about being liked. It's about making hard decisions, living with the consequences, and still winning. Mike Beckham, Matt Bertulli, and Jason Panzer sit down to talk honestly about what leadership really costs when the stakes are high. They dig into hiring and firing decisions, culture trade-offs, growth versus profitability, and the personal pressure that comes with running large, successful businesses. The conversation avoids motivational clichés and focuses on what actually works when real money and people are involved.  The episode moves beyond strong opinions into the results behind them, including margins, growth trade-offs, enterprise value, and scale. They explore why most people shouldn't lead, how insecurity quietly damages businesses, and why saying no is often a leader's most important job. Along the way, they challenge common leadership advice and ask uncomfortable questions about who leadership is really for. Powered ByFulfilhttps://bit.ly/3pAp2vuNorthbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Saras Analyticshttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescPostscripthttps://9ops.co/postscriptAftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Richpanelhttps://9ops.co/richpanelOperators Newsletterhttps://9operators.com/

In this episode of the Wellbeing 4 Mothers show, Dr. Dunni explores the complex emotions of guilt that many mothers experience, particularly in relation to saying yes to demands from work, family, and friends. She discusses the importance of learning to say no without guilt, emphasising that it is an act of self-love rather than selfishness. The episode provides practical strategies for setting boundaries, reframing the concept of no, and creating a 'not now' list to help mothers prioritise their well-being. Dr. Dunni encourages mothers to recognise the costs associated with always saying yes and to seek support when feeling overwhelmed.Key Takeaways- Guilt is a common emotion among mothers.- Saying yes often comes at a significant cost.- Mothers often feel pressured to be the nurturer.- A 'not now' list can help manage commitments.- Saying no does not equate to letting others down.- Seeking help is crucial when feeling overwhelmed.Book Recommendation The Joy of Missing Out – Tonya DaltonJoin the Bookclubhttps://www.drdunni.clubCONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ig- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drdunni.lifecoach/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CH- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/drdunni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HOST BIOYour host, Dr Dunni, is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

What would change if you stopped agreeing to take on everything at work? If you have perfectionist and overachiever tendencies like I do, it's possible this question has never even occurred to you. In the race to the top, it can feel like everything is urgent and our responsibility. But there's a better way. A new trend floating around social media recently caught my attention, and it's called “strategic detachment.” In this episode, I take a look at a more thoughtful approach to workload management and delegation, especially as it applies to team leaders. The professional landscape is transforming so rapidly in so many ways—this might just be the trend we need to survive 2026.Hop off the overachieving hamster wheel and onto your true career trajectory. Tune in to learn:The unintended consequences leaders create when they won't step back;What strategic detachment really means (and what it doesn't);Why you might need to examine your fear to avoid burning out.Related Links:Episode 403, How First-Time Managers Can Embrace Coaching - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode403Episode 368, What Quiet Quitting Can Help…or Hurt - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode368LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If you struggle with people-pleasing and losing yourself in relationships, this episode with Ingrid Clayton, a licensed clinical psychologist and expert in relational trauma, about her book Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, is a conversation that can help you understand and transform patterns holding you back. Exploring fawning, which is a lesser-known trauma response shaped by caretaking, appeasement, and self-abandonment, you'll learn how it often shows up as anxiety and hypervigilance. And, through personal and client stories, you'll gain insights on reclaiming authenticity, navigating backlash, and starting the process of “unfawning.”Listen and Learn:Why do some people cope with relational trauma by becoming overly accommodating or pleasing?How people-pleasing might actually be your nervous system choosing safety in ways that once protected you, but could now be quietly shaping your identity and relationships without you realizing it, and what it actually takes to reconnect with who you areHow chronic fawning can look like emotional strength on the outside while quietly disconnecting you from your own anxiety and bodyHow what looks like dishonesty can actually be a survival response that once kept you safe, and what it takes to notice when it starts keeping you stuckHow tuning into what you notice in your body can be the first uncomfortable but powerful step to breaking people-pleasing patterns and building more authentic relationshipsWhy red flags can feel like home after emotional abuse and how learning to trust your own resentment might be the first step toward building a truly safe relationshipResources:Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9798217045327 Ingrid's Website: https://www.ingridclayton.com/ Connect with Ingrid on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingridclaytonphd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IngridClaytonPhD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingridclaytonphd/ Substack: https://substack.com/@ingridclaytonphd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PvWTgJMirURfgHWj3h28g About Ingrid ClaytonDr. Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

On this episode of The Blackprint, we're revisiting powerful moments from previous conversations that unpack why saying no is one of the most important skills entrepreneurs can develop. These clips focus on discipline, credibility, and how restraint helps protect brand trust and long-term vision. Featured on this episode are Everette Taylor, Fawn Weaver, and Tunde Balogun.

Send a textWhat if the kindest thing you can do for yourself and the people you love is a clear, respectful no? We open Season Six with a candid look at boundaries, burnout, and the deeper relief that comes when you stop trying to be everywhere for everyone. One of us walks through a surprising decision to turn down a fully funded academic program—an offer that looked ideal on paper but conflicted with our family's golden years and the energy we want to protect. That story becomes the springboard for reframing no as how you protect your most meaningful yes.Across the conversation, we share the tools that make boundary setting less scary and far more practical. You'll learn body-first cues that flag overcommitment before your calendar does, the pause phrases that buy you time (“I need to check my calendar”), and simple scripts for a no-yes response that keeps relationships warm without sacrificing your bandwidth. We dig into people pleasing, social pressure, and the myth that good parents sign kids up for everything. Instead, we offer a values-based approach that helps families pick fewer, better commitments so weekends feel like living, not logistics.To build confidence, we recommend micro no's—those everyday moments at checkout counters and casual asks where you can practice declining kindly. We also explore focused generosity: choosing where to give and serve on purpose, so your yes remains meaningful. With the new year ahead, we talk about using clear goals to streamline decisions, aligning choices with what matters most, and letting go of perfection in favor of steady practice. If your life feels stretched thin, this conversation is your permission slip to set boundaries, protect your peace, and show up fully where it counts.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a boundary boost, and leave a quick review to help others find us. Your support keeps the conversation going.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a topic that sits at the heart of our mission: teacher well-being. We're unpacking the everyday challenges teachers face, like juggling too many tasks, feeling pressure to “do it all,” and navigating leadership expectations, while also offering practical, empowering strategies to help you protect your energy, set boundaries, and find your own rhythm.We talk honestly about breaking free from the “busy culture,” why multitasking is not your friend, and how small moments of joy can truly be game-changers in a teacher's week.Key Takeaways:You don't need to do it allBoundaries aren't selfish; they're essential for long-term impact.A notepad, a pause, or even a walk can help clear the clutter.Modelling wellbeing helps your students thrive too.Saying no today doesn't mean saying no forever.Whether you're just starting out or deep into your teaching journey, this episode is your friendly reminder that your wellbeing matters, and you're allowed to take care of it. Let's work smarter, not harder, and build a teaching life that brings joy, balance, and longevity.Rainbows ahead,Alisha and AshleighResources mentioned in this episode:Episode 44: A conversation about Teacher Wellbeing with Amy GreenEpisode 106: Real Teacher Wellbeing with Daniela FaleckiTeacher Self-care JournalAPPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY  | AMAZONLet's hear from you!

Seeker: When I Finally Stopped Saying No Brother Barry has had many labels in his life. Son. Jamaican. New Yorker. Navy man. Husband. Dad.  Minister of the Gospel. Host of Face the Truth. But if there's one label that changed everything else. it's seeker. This is the story most people don’t know about Brother Barry… the journey of a seeker who was looking for truth in all the wrong places, until God led him to the one place he did his best to avoid.

Thirty-five years later, Brother Barry still tears up thinking about that first Bible study, the night he couldn’t sleep because he thought: could this be it? After years of a chaotic childhood, unstable homes, and churches that left him more confused than when he walked in, God led him right to the door he’d been passing every single day. But what he didn’t know was that his story was just beginning. Because God had a calling waiting for him that would blow up every plan he had for his young life. Now, if Brother Barry’s story spoke to you, or if you know someone who’s in the middle of their own secret journey, share this with them.

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

What is discernment? Come Bible Study WITH ME through Nehemiah 6 and ask all the questions! Don't forget to grab your copy of MORE THAN GIVING SOMETHING UP: A 21-Day Guide to Biblical Fasting and Walking With God

Are you living like you don't need God? Many people today believe they can do it all myself, thinking they don't need religion or any higher power to guide their lives. But what happens when we keep saying no to God and try to do what you want without His direction? In this powerful message, we explore the consequences of rejecting God's ways through the shocking story of the Philistines who captured the Ark of the Covenant and faced God's judgment. Discover how their god Dagon couldn't stand before the one true God, and learn from the demon possessed man in Mark 5 who experienced complete transformation when he finally said yes to Jesus. This message will challenge you to examine your daily choices and understand that every decision to say yes to God leads to purpose, peace, hope, and eternal life. Whether you think you don't need God or you're struggling with surrender, this teaching reveals why saying yes to the Lord is always the best decision you can make.

Simplifying EdTech for Teachers & Amplifying Learning for Students Bonus episode recorded live at TCEARecorded live at TCEA, this bonus episode of My EdTech Life cuts through the EdTech noise to focus on what actually works in classrooms. Joined by Elaina Kloecker and Spencer Wright, Dr. Fonz unpacks why ease of use, strong pedagogy, and teacher agency matter more than shiny tools and usage minutes.This conversation tackles real questions educators are asking right now: When does technology truly support learning? When does it get in the way? And how do we make sure teachers stay at the center of instruction while students stay engaged, thinking, and communicating?No hype. No buzzwords. Just honest insights from educators in the trenches.

This week, James and Will are joined by Scottish ex-pro turned team manager, commentator and pundit, Brian Smith.Brian cut his teeth in the 1980s at the school of cycling hardknocks, ACBB – Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt – in Paris, whose alumni include Jacques Anquetil, Stephen Roche and Pippa York, before turning pro with the legendary British Banana team in 1991. Three successful seasons followed including his first British national road race title, which led to Brian catching the eye of the Motorola team bosses. He signed for the American outfit in 1994, and went on to race alongside Lance Armstrong, Andy Hampsten and Phil Anderson. Brian won his second British national road race title that same year, but as we discuss in our chat, despite such success he found himself disillusioned and on the outside of a sport he loved as cycling embroiled itself in its darkest doping years – something Brian wanted no part of. He hung up his racing wheels in 1996 but returned to the pro-peloton in 2011 as directeur sportif for Endura Racing, where he stayed as it evolved into MTN-Qhubeka then Dimension Data, before retiring in 2014.Today, Brian can be found with a microphone in hand as a commentator and pundit for Eurosport, and among other parts of that job, Brian discusses his love of commentating and watching the lesser-known Tour of Hellas, a five-stage race around Greece which this year takes place between 6th and 10th of May, so keep an eye out for that one.There are probably few people with as much experience across the last four decades of cycling as Brian, and certainly few people who talk so candidly about everything from being invited into 'the program' by Lance Armstrong, to having a snake thrown into his shower by Shane Sutton. So get the kettle, pin back your lugholes and listen to this one.Interview begins at 3.44------------------The Tour of Hellas in Greece is a five stage race taking place from 6th - 10th May 2026.

Cue the rewind sound because this episode takes us straight into the vault of unfiltered memories, irrational fears, intrusive thoughts, and one very real phobia that lives rent-free in Megan's brain.   In this laugh-out-loud flashback episode of Got HER Back, the girls spiral (in the best way) through childhood trauma, snake encounters, rat-infested patios, sensory issues, anxiety spirals, and the deeply serious topic of white condiments.   This episode is raw, ridiculous, and relatable in a way only Got HER Back can deliver because sometimes healing looks like laughing until you cry and sometimes it looks like saying no to white stuff forever.   You've got her back.

Welcome to another episode of How I Grew This podcast from our partner Branch – mobile attribution platform and app analytics solutions for enterprises. It covers building a sustainable agency through values-driven leadership and specialist focus. In this episode, hosts Amanda and Adam speak with Mick Rigby, founder and CEO of Yodel Mobile, about his 20-year journey building a specialist mobile app marketing agency. From launching just before the iPhone's debut to being recently acquired by NP Digital, Mick shares insights on sustainable growth, maintaining company values, and adapting to industry changes. Links and Resources: Mick Rigby on LinkedIn Yodel Mobile  website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Today's topics include: Saying “no” is a strategic advantage in app growth because focus and discipline create stronger long-term outcomes than chasing every opportunity. Yodel Mobile succeeded by committing early to being a specialist app marketing agency rather than a generalist digital services provider. Sustainable growth comes from cash-flow discipline, profitability, and resisting the pressure to scale faster than the business can support. Retaining talent and building a strong internal culture is a more durable competitive advantage than rapid hiring or aggressive expansion. AI will improve efficiency and data analysis in app marketing, but human skills like judgment, empathy, and strategy will matter even more. Quotes from Mick Rigby: “I think there's something really powerful in the ability to say no” “AI, the robots… there is so much that they're good at, but they are and they will continue to lack the human element.” ““I'm a great believer in you either have to be a specialist or a generalist."

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into the modern debate over side hustles — are they still the key to building wealth, or has the hustle culture gone too far? Travis shares how he's shifted from saying yes to everything to learning how powerful “no” can be, especially when focusing on what truly moves the needle. The conversation touches on money, fulfillment, and finding purpose both in and outside of work — with plenty of laughs along the way. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis stopped saying yes to every opportunity The truth about side hustles in 2026 — overhyped or necessary? How to build wealth and fulfillment without burnout When to trade free time for extra income (and when not to) The real difference between financial need and purposeful work Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Side hustles matter when they create freedom — not just when they create dollars.2.  Urgency drives progress. The future version of you is counting on what you do today.3.  Fulfillment beats hours worked; purpose counts more than overtime.

So why do some people execute and others stay stuck?In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the real separator: standards and identity. Goals aren't enough—because identity is built through repeated beingness, and every action you take is a vote for the person you're becoming.We'll cover how to stop relying on motivation and willpower, how to replace 50 rules with one anchor question (“What would a wise man do?”), why the hardest “no” is family and friends who want access to the old you, and how every “yes” you say can drain your energy through context switching and lost focus.If you've been chasing multiple opportunities, restarting plans, or feeling scattered, this episode is your reset: say no, finish the plan, build the identity, and make your results inevitable.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

What if self-abandonment isn't a personal flaw—but a survival strategy you once needed, and no longer have to carry?In this episode, I'm joined by Rocio Aquino and Angel Orengo, co-authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses and founders of For the Highest Good, an initiative devoted to expanding human consciousness through storytelling, healing tools, and community.Based in Los Angeles, Rocio and Angel bring a rare blend of lived experience, emotional intelligence, and spiritual psychology to their work. Through media, public speaking, and live events, they guide women, especially those who have learned to over-give or disconnect from themselves, back to authenticity, inner authority, and alignment with their highest good.At the heart of our conversation is The Orchid, a transformational novel following seven women from different backgrounds who gather at a retreat in Northern California. Each woman embodies a distinct struggle with identity, self-trust, and emotional survival, offering readers (and listeners) mirrors for their own patterns of self-abandonment.Together, we explore how storytelling can be a powerful healing modality—one that moves beyond intellectual insight and into the body, where real change begins.The hidden cycle of self-abandonment and how women begin to recognize when they've learned to leave themselves to stay connected to othersForgiveness as a nervous-system process, not a bypass—why true forgiveness requires safety, presence, and self-honestyThe pathway from thought → emotion → body, and how unexamined beliefs become stored tension, disconnection, or collapseWhat it means to truly hold space—for yourself and for others—without fixing, rescuing, or self-betrayalThe five transformational lessons of The Orchid—Awareness, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Acceptance, and Intention—and how they can be practiced in everyday lifeThe challenges faced by the seven women in the story, and how each character reflects common patterns women carry around worth, voice, boundaries, and belongingWhy storytelling bypasses overthinking and creates emotional safety, allowing women to reconnect with inner truth and intuitionThis episode is an invitation for the woman who is capable, self-aware, and exhausted from holding it all together to soften, listen inward, and begin choosing herself without guilt.

You're already walking the floor. Now it might carry you. We welcome back longtime friend of the podcast John Wilson of Sunrise Dental Lab, returning for the first time since 2021—and this time as a fellow podcaster himself. What starts as a warm reunion quickly turns into a deep, honest conversation about passion, purpose, integrity, and what it really takes to survive (and stay sane) in today's dental lab world. John reflects on the evolution of his lab, sharing why he made the intentional decision not to chase endless growth, but instead to protect his team, his values, and his love for the craft. He talks candidly about “yesterday thinking,” adapting to digital dentistry without abandoning fundamentals, and why aligning with the right clients—not just more clients—changed everything. The discussion dives into what true lab–doctor partnerships look like, why trust is earned (not given), and how saying “no” can sometimes be the most powerful business decision you make. John also explains why single units matter just as much as full-arch cases, how education keeps technicians relevant, and why racing to the bottom on price is a losing game. Later, the conversation turns personal as John shares the inspiration behind his new solo podcast, Margins & Meaning—a storytelling-driven project created to document his journey, connect with technicians who feel alone, and leave something meaningful behind for the next generation. He opens up about legacy, creativity, fear, change, and why being heard matters just as much as having something to say.

Martin Freeman is one of the most sought-after actors of his generation. Whether it's Tim in The Office, John - the mild-mannered porn actor in Love Actually, Watson in Sherlock, Bilbo in The Hobbit, the stressed parent in Breeders, the Liverpudlian cop with personal problems in The Responder and Everett K. Ross in Marvel Cinematic Universe smash hits Captain America and Black Panther - Freeman is a star, and to date has won two Emmys and a BAFTA. In this episode, Martin reflects on his childhood as the youngest of five (comparatively modest when you consider his mother was one of fourteen!) as well as the lasting impact of losing his father at ten years old. We talk about parenting, the people who've inspired him (hello, Michael Caine), the future of AI from a technophobe's perspective, his unease with fame and the quieter failures that sit behind public success. Plus: strap yourself in for much hilarity. I don't think I can remember a guest who made me laugh QUITE this much. Martin can next be seen as the determined Superintendent Battle in Netflix's new Agatha Christie adaptation, Seven Dials. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Dealing with Fame and Anxiety 05:12 The Everyman Label 07:35 Exploring Anger and Authenticity 16:28 Academic Struggles and Early Acting 20:33 Personal Reflections and Family 28:08 Comparing to Heroes 32:15 The Office and Sherlock 40:29 Technology Struggles 44:20 AI Concerns 47:47 Meeting Michael Caine
