Send us a textReady for a filter that instantly clarifies who belongs in your life and work? We dig into the “heck yes” standard and show how it transforms clients, friendships, and collaborations by replacing half-hearted maybes with aligned, energized partners who actually move things forward. Instead of chasing bigger guest lists or bloated contact lists, we model what it looks like to curate smaller rooms where people prepare, listen, ask sharp questions, and celebrate each other's wins.I share a recent coaching story that proves engagement beats attendance. You'll hear how a highly intentional group created more value than a crowded room ever could, and why that matters for your business, your calendar, and your peace of mind. We break down the hidden costs of lukewarm relationships—missed deadlines, dampened energy, and a slow creep of doubt—and offer practical language for setting boundaries without drama. You'll learn how to spot misalignment early, say no with respect, and keep your standards high without losing your kindness.We also tackle the mindset behind curation. Scarcity urges you to hold onto every contact; abundance helps you give more, attract better fits, and trust that the right people will stay. Finally, we reframe endings with a simple lens: some relationships are for a season, some for a reason, and a rare few for a lifetime. Use that to honor what was, release what no longer serves, and make space for the connections that light you up. If you're ready to build a circle that pushes you higher, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to tell us your biggest “heck yes” from today.

On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're discussing the Law of Abundance

What does it actually take to build a healthcare company from scratch? In this episode of #TheShot, Eugene Borukhovich and Jim Joyce sit down with Daniel Kivatinos, co-founder of DrChrono, to unpack a real founder journey — from growing up in Queens with blue-collar parents to bootstrapping a healthcare startup through the 2008 crash, betting early on the iPad, and building DrChrono over 13+ years before selling in 2021. This is not a “how to get rich quick” story. It's about persistence, timing, relentless shipping, and ignoring most advice. We talked about:

While on call this week, it was interesting to see my brain go into a scarcity mindset, and it got me thinking about how scarcity can play into burnout. Come listen to what scarcity is, how it can show up in our lives, and how we can get out of scarcity and live from a place of abundance instead.For more free help from me, visit my website: coach-miles.com

Brian Miller and Rev. Dr. Brian Tracy keep the January theme rolling—escaping the tyranny of the urgent—but this episode zeroes in on leadership coaching: why leaders get stuck, what beliefs jam the gears, and how a coach helps a leader climb out of survival mode and back into purpose. It opens with some playful "Brian spelling reform" banter (the Y can repent), then turns into a surprisingly practical coaching framework for leaders who feel like every week is "sludging through the mud." Key Highlights Why leaders stall out: Many leaders know the hill they want to take… but their Monday–Friday reality feels like mud, and they can't translate vision into Tuesday afternoon. Triple-loop coaching lens: Brian frames the problem as actions → strategy → identity. Tracy agrees most leaders stay stuck at the surface level (tweaking actions) without addressing strategy or identity. Balcony view: They talk about moving leaders from minutiae to perspective using "psychological distancing" and future-oriented questions: "Where do you want this to be in 5 years?" "What would 10-years-from-now you tell you to focus on?" Unsticking the gear: Brian describes a coaching move that creates safety—"I'm not holding you to this"—to help a frozen leader name a first step and regain momentum. Beliefs that sabotage leaders: Scarcity vs. abundance (closed-handed vs. open-handed leadership) "If I'm the leader, I should know everything" (which kills curiosity and learning) "If I'm leading right, there won't be complaints" (spoiler: change creates complaints) Takeaways Coaching gives leaders a place where every sentence isn't a grenade. In leadership, words carry 10x weight; coaching offers a safe lab to think out loud without collateral damage. A good leader reviews and prunes. Tracy describes doing a regular "stop/start" review twice a year because clutter expands like glitter—once it's in the room, it's everywhere. Don't build everything around yourself. Brian reflects on leaving "holes" when he exited organizations earlier in life—and names that as a leadership mistake. Healthy leadership equips others until the organization can run without you. Empowerment is the job. Tracy grounds it in Ephesians 4: leaders equip others to do the work, not hoard the work to feel needed. Criticism isn't a sign you're failing—sometimes it's proof you're leading. If you're changing anything meaningful, pushback is part of the fee. Even Jesus had bad Yelp reviews. Memorable Lines & Moments "Survival" as a strategy is still a strategy… just a terrible one. "The more authority you give away, the more authority you have." "If I'm successful, it's not because I got the job done—it's because they got it done." Moneyball reference: "The first guy through the wall always gets beat up." (Accurate, and also why most people prefer to be the second guy.)

In this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with behavioral finance expert, financial advisor, and practicing stoic philosopher Will R. Young to explore a question most people never slow down long enough to ask: What is enough?   Drawing from Will's book The Enough Equation, the conversation moves beyond spreadsheets and market noise into the psychology behind money decisions. Together, they unpack why fear, identity, and comparison quietly shape our financial behavior, and how clarity, values, and intentional planning create real freedom. This episode is an invitation to pause, define what truly matters, and build a financial life that supports peace rather than pressure.   00:00 – Setting the Frame: Wealth, Mindset, and the Pause 05:01 – Stoicism, Behavioral Finance, and Human Blind Spots 11:31 – How Psychology Shows Up in Investing 15:31 – Fear, Scarcity, and the Illusion of Control 22:01 – The Enough Equation: Defining What Matters 30:01 – Redesigning Work, Wealth, and Relationships  

In this episode, I get on my soapbox about one of the most persistent myths in the membership world: the idea that scarcity marketing and closed-door enrollment are absolutely necessary to grow a successful membership.I break down why this notion is misleading, how it can harm your business in the long run, and why good marketing should never rely on manipulative gimmicks.I share real-world examples, challenge some of the loudest voices in the space, and lay out the facts so you can make the best decision for your membership business.In this episode:Do you really need scarcity or closed-door enrollment to sell and grow a membership?What are the long-term consequences of relying on scarcity tactics for membership sales?When (if ever) does a closed-door model actually make strategic sense for a membership business?How can you create genuine urgency and attract committed members without resorting to manipulative marketing gimmicks?Thank You For ListeningI really appreciate you choosing us and for supporting the podcast.What's your next step?If you haven't launched your membership yet, I've made my signature Membership Roadmap Course completely FREE, walking you through exactly how to get set up for success!Already have a membership and looking to grow and scale?

They're extremely helpful when it comes to reaching our audience, and I read each and every one!Key Quotes & Takeaways:"A handful of tacky Internet marketers have been pushing this narrative that you need scarcity to sell a membership and that the closed door model is the one true way.""Closed door can and does work for numerous memberships, and for many of those memberships it's absolutely the right model, based on their audience needs, based on their business structure, based on the topic they're teaching, and so on.""The overwhelming majority of successful memberships are open door and they always have been. 12,000 members in membership academy, 60,000 in SBL. Same sort of numbers with Drumeo memberships, like Digital Marketer memberships like Masterclass. These are always open doors. We get sales. We don't have to close the doors to give people a reason to join because our memberships are good enough to give people the reason to join in and of themselves.""If any part of your marketing relies on being sneaky, relies on not being found out, then you're doing it wrong. If you're misleading your audience into thinking something is scarce and trying to use that scarcity to pressure them into a buying decision that they're not ready for, but then even worse, it turns out that it's all a ruse, it's all bs, then you absolutely suck on every level imaginable."

To learn about The Freedom Project - Click here Two thinkers “arrive” right away: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Austria, philosopher of language) and Epictetus (Greek Stoic, formerly enslaved). Their combined theme becomes the episode's core message: abundance and freedom don't respond to self-improvement—they respond to present-moment participation, and the language we use either keeps us in “now” or pushes us into fear-based “later.” Wittgenstein's thread focuses on how our sentences shape our reality. He points out that many spiritual and abundance struggles are reinforced by everyday grammar: “I'm not ready,” “I'm not healed,” “I must become something else.” These are described as grammatical habits that turn life into a test to pass. Abundance (money, time, health, love) doesn't show up when we “deserve it” or “fix ourselves”—it shows up when we stop managing it with fear and engage with what's here. Epictetus brings a steady, immovable energy and reframes freedom as the absence of inner argument with life. He shares the Stoic insight that suffering isn't primarily caused by circumstances, but by the internal insistence: “This shouldn't be happening.” Freedom, he says, is not growth but subtraction—not becoming more powerful, but noticing where we've been giving power away (waiting for conditions to improve, needing certainty, money, approval) and simply stopping. The conversation then turns practical around money. The guides suggest money feels uniquely “heavy” because we use it to answer a future-based question: “Will I be okay later?” Unlike health, relationships, or time (experienced in the present), money is often used as emotional insurance—asked to provide safety, which “isn't its job.” The episode offers a language-based reframe: shift from future-security sentences to present-usefulness. A key line: stop asking money to protect you from time. They also address the belief in “sources of money” (job, investments, rentals) as a  limiter: the true source is you, via inspiration and participation. Scarcity is framed less as “not enough money” and more as fear of letting it move—guarding rather than participating. Finally, they connect abundance and freedom as essentially parallel states: both are results of alignment and present-moment engagement. Freedom is “living as cause, not effect,” and abundance is “having what you need when you need it to do what needs doing”—both emerge when we stop requiring conditions to be different before we allow peace.

Air Date: 1/14/2026 Being a bad person who doesn't care about others is helpful in one's pursuit of becoming wealthy. However, becoming wealthy is also helpful in becoming a bad person who doesn't care about others, not that anyone sets out with this as a goal but it is a natural byproduct of wealth and the normal functioning of our market economy. What this means is that the nature of money, market dynamics, and wealth to corrode morality is a systemic problem, not a collection of individual failings, and should be addressed as such.

The state of things right now isn't exactly predictable. Costs are up, people feel cautious about spending, and there's this underlying tension around money that's hard to ignore. If you're working full time and thinking about becoming a financial coach this year, or if you're already coaching and trying to figure out how to navigate 2026 without burning out, this episode is for you.The good news? Flexibility is your competitive advantage right now. When your expenses are lean and your approach is strategic, you can be generous with clients, creative with pricing, and responsive to what people actually need. This isn't about playing small or operating from fear. It's about being the kind of financial leader who can adapt without compromising impact.In this episode, we're talking about practical strategy for this season: why your full-time job might be the best business asset you have right now, how to design your coaching business around your actual life instead of an internet ideal, and what it means to maximize your three key resources (time, energy, and money) when you're already stretched thin.If you've been feeling pressure to go all in, scale up, or match someone else's version of success, this episode will help you see that steadiness is strategy. And the steadiness you create for yourself is exactly what your clients are craving from you.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupHow to Create Buy-In Training(free)Episode 138: The State of People's FinancesKey Takeaways:Flexibility is your competitive advantage. When your expenses are lean, you can offer payment plans, adjust pricing, and respond to clients' real needs without financial pressure forcing your hand.Predictable income is a business strategy, not a compromise. Your full-time job gives you something full-time entrepreneurs don't have: the ability to plan, save, and give your business time to grow without crushing pressure.Your business doesn't need to be impressive to work. What matters is whether it fits your actual life, serves your clients well, and gives you something nothing else in your life currently gives you.Scarcity motivates action. Limited availability isn't a weakness. Instead, it cuts down on client indecisiveness and makes scheduling easier for everyone involved.Focus on activities that fill a gap only your business can fill. If your full-time job is high pressure, make your business fun and relaxed. If parenting feels thankless, let client appreciation fuel you.You have to claim what you need and ask for it specifically. The hardest help to ask for is often just space, permission to focus on your business for a Saturday morning without guilt.Steadiness is what your clients are craving right now. By creating it for yourself first, you bring that same grounded energy into every coaching session.

For decades, the West has outsourced its own material production to other countries, in favor of lower costs and short-term returns over more expensive, long-duration investments like mining and manufacturing. But while this has seemed like a success on the surface, it has left us with a society based on consumption, unable to produce what we need on our own. What are the deeper costs of this long-term offshoring – including for our geopolitical, climate, and technological ambitions? In this conversation, Nate is joined by materials expert and investor Craig Tindale, who explores the profound vulnerabilities facing Western economies by what he calls "Industrialization 2.0." Craig argues that decades of central banking policies favoring consumption and short-term returns have led the West to offshore virtually all materials production and processing to China – limiting the West's ability to defend itself, as well as rebuild industrial capacity to address the growing technological needs of climate and AI. Tindale also introduces his "four clocks" framework, which describes how corporate quarterly cycles, 10-20 year climate urgency, immediate defense needs, and continuous consumption addiction  are all ticking at different speeds and pulling society in incompatible directions. Furthermore, he posits that Silicon Valley's "unspoken bet" is on human obsolescence, with capital flowing to robot owners rather than human workers. How do all of these pieces – monetary policy, critical materials, climate action, geopolitical risk, and technological displacement – fit together to create a perfect storm for humanity's future? Why might the only path to a circular economy be "through the valley of death" – forced by necessity rather than choice? And what types of practical investments and technological innovations are needed to make our societies more resilient in the face of impending geopolitical and economic turbulence? (Conversation recorded on December 10th, 2025)   About Craig Tindale: Craig Tindale is a private investor who has spent nearly four decades working in software development, business strategy, and infrastructure planning, including in leadership positions at Telstra, Oracle, and IBM. Additionally, he has direct experience working in east-to-west supply chains, including as the CEO and Asia Regional Director for DataDirect Technologies.  He's now pivoted to investing in groundbreaking ideas such as drone reforestation through Air Seed Technologies, and uses his knowledge of Chinese industrial strategy and Western tech demand to identify the choke points in Critical Metals markets. Most recently he released the white paper, Critical Materials: A Strategic Analysis, which offers a systems synthesis on how the race for rare earths and the return of material constraints is shaping geopolitical relationships.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Wölffer Estate Vineyard is an example of a legacy winery that has managed to stay culturally relevant and financially healthy through one of the most challenging periods in wine.The Hamptons-based, family-owned winery now produces roughly 250,000 cases annually and finished 2025 up single digits in both dollar sales and volume, outperforming much of the broader category. In this episode, CEO Max Rohn explains how Wölffer evolved from a local estate into a nationally recognized lifestyle brand — without outside capital, without chasing volume, and without abandoning quality.Key takeaways for drinks founders:

What did you hear about money growing up? Maybe it was "money doesn't grow on trees," or reminders to save everything for a rainy day. While often well-intentioned, these messages can quietly shape a scarcity mindset that follows us well into adulthood. In the world of entrepreneurship, that mindset can be especially limiting. It doesn't just affect how much you earn, it influences how you price your work, how you save, how you spend, and how confidently you invest in your business. Over time, it can restrict growth in ways many women don't even realize are happening.  This episode explores how early money beliefs show up in business ownership and why addressing them matters, not only for your current success but for the example you're setting for the next generation. Because the way you relate to money today has the power to shape both your business and how your children will one day view financial abundance, responsibility, and possibility.

In this solo episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph breaks down why setting bigger goals does not automatically lead to bigger results. The issue is not effort or discipline. It is whether your subconscious feels safe operating at the next level. She explains how the conscious mind sets goals, the subconscious mind protects familiarity, and how that disconnect creates self-sabotage, inconsistency, and the cycle of momentum followed by pullback. You will learn how the reticular activating system shapes what you notice, pursue, and tolerate, and why identity has to change before results do. This episode is for anyone who feels capable of more but keeps hitting the same ceiling, and is ready to stop pushing harder and start operating from a level that actually holds growth. Episode Breakdown 00:20 Conscious vs subconscious mind: why goal setting alone doesn't work 01:40 Safety, threat, and why growth feels chaotic 03:00 How expansion quietly triggers self-sabotage 04:15 The reticular activating system: your brain's filter for success 05:45 Identity before outcomes: why effort isn't the real lever 07:05 Waiting for the other shoe to drop (fear-based identity) 08:20 Intention → attention → evidence: how focus programs reality 09:35 Resistance as confirmation you're close to a quantum leap 10:55 Scarcity, attachment, and repelling what you want 11:55 "You don't get what you want, you get what you are" If you're feeling resistance or doubt right as you ask for more, that's not a sign to pull back. It's a sign your identity is being stretched to hold what's next. We'll be opening the doors to the only 90 Day Sprint we're hosting this year very soon.

What happens when you invest so deeply in your people that they could leave today and find success starting their own business?The most likely outcome: they stay and you continue growing together.But the more common path: a more transactional approach for fear they'll leave you.Jon Cheplak returns to Real Estate Team OS to explain why he thinks 90% of real estate team leaders shouldn't be team leaders and to share what the 10% have in common.Jon's been in the seat himself and he and his partners coach top-performing team leaders and operations leaders (many you've met here on the show).Scaling on principles, rather than on personality.Pouring into people without fear, limitation, or calculation.Developing people first and businesses second.Walking the talk as the key to leadership.Improving your copywriting and storytelling.Jon shares all that and more in a great conversation to set you up for a successful year ahead.Watch or listen for Jon's insights into:Why community is so desirable and powerful right nowHow principles scale and why personality doesn'tHis four core principles, his eight core values, and the difference between themThe three ways to get people to take actionThe two ways to give people attention and why fear holds team leaders back from bothWhy 90% of team leaders shouldn't be team leaders and four criteria to help you know for your yourselfTwo ways to find your operations leader and one way NOT to (spoiler: look inside your team)Why you're already a better copywriter than you think, how and why to get better at it, plus the difference between marketing and salesAt the end, learn about pitchforking manure and the risk and payoff of committing to a 375-acre ranch.Four principles Jon lives by:→ Personal responsibility, accountability, commitment, contributionEight values Jon lives by:→ Fun, love, dignity, respect, humility, vulnerability, transparency, volunteerismMentioned in this episode:→ FUBCON Session with Jon Cheplak https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/jon-cheplak-real-estate-teams-traditional-brokerages→ 084 Living in the Leads with Lauren Bowen https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/real-estate-leads-systems-tools-increase-conversion-lauren-bowen-lpt-realty→ 037 Prospecting for Listings with Greg Harrelson https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/real-estate-prospecting-listings-greg-harrelson→ 082 Making Your First Operations Hire with Camila Rivera https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/team-leader-guide-making-your-first-operations-hire-camila-rivera→ Inside Whissel Realty Group https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCJiXNo93cVqQmwl4tTOQYebBkBoL6ipzConnect with Jon Cheplak→ https://www.facebook.com/joncheplak/Connect with Real Estate Team OS→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

Send us a textGrief doesn't start with a story—it starts as a feeling that we rush to explain. From three quiet days of no notifications to a New Year's dance-floor synchronicity, we unpack how loss, sweetness, envy, and scarcity rise first, and how the mind stitches them to convenient narratives. When we flip that script and simply watch, patterns surface on their own: resistance to being seen, the tug of fantasy, the fear of not-enough. The relief isn't in fixing feelings—it's in relaxed, honest attention.We go deep on relationships as living mirrors. Instead of making a confession to the person we think caused our pain, we explore a gentler path: stop, look, listen. Choose who you're looking with—ego or Spirit—and let the next step reveal itself. Money becomes a neutral symbol, not a verdict. Scarcity loosens when trust grows. Timelines and choices feel less linear and more like threads you can stop gripping. And yes, we talk sex: why fantasy numbs presence, how grasping narrows awareness, and how real connection expands when we drop performance and return to the senses. Annoyance, “robotic” moments, missed strokes—all become invitations to laugh, breathe, and reconnect.This isn't bypass. It's practical forgiveness that you can use anywhere: at a coffee shop when the machine breaks, in bed when the mind chases an outcome, or when envy whispers that someone else got the life you wanted. We share the “succubus” dynamic that often hijacks fresh openings, and how remembering a single purpose—letting Spirit repurpose everything—keeps you anchored. The takeaway is simple and bold: every upset is a doorway. Relax, notice, forgive, and let joy return. If this lands, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review telling us which pattern you're ready to retire.Support the show

As we enter 2026, the landscape for thought leaders and entrepreneurs has fundamentally changed. In this episode, host Tiffany reveals what she calls "The Invisible Shift", a profound identity transition from being a traditional expert to becoming a true guide.She explains that in an era saturated with AI-generated content and information abundance, your audience is no longer looking for "more" information; they are looking for discernment, grounded leadership, and a clear path forward. She dives deep into why most leaders feel they are constantly outgrowing their messaging and why the secret to scaling with ease lies in branding for your future self (3–10 years out) rather than where you are today.Key TakeawaysThe Identity Shift (Expert vs. Guide):Experts explain "what" and deliver information.Guides orient the way, helping people navigate the "how" and "why" while making decisions in uncertain times.The Scarcity of 2026: While information is everywhere, there is a massive scarcity of discernment, grounded leadership, and trust. People want someone who can say, "Here is what matters now."Stop Branding for the Present: The #1 mistake entrepreneurs make is branding for their current status. This causes your brand to "lag" behind your growth. To manifest goals faster, you must brand for the leader you are becoming in 5 to 10 years.The Power of Alignment: When your brand architecture is built for expansion, you move away from constant "reinvention" and "hustle" and toward a state where your offers sell themselves because they make sense energetically and strategically.The Brand Operating System (Brand OS): Having a trademarked system allows you to evolve without burning out. It shifts you from a "reactive" state to a "leading" state.Reflective Questions for Your Brand:1. Is my brand built for where I am now or where I'm going?2. Does my messaging reflect my future vision or my past identity?3. Where am I still reacting instead of intentionally designing my brand and business?4. Am I showing up as a guide or an expert to my audience? And how can I show up more as a guide to myself?Mentioned ResourcesThe ALL NEW Brand Clarity Workshop Series: An all-new methodology and workshop designed specifically for the 2026 era of leadership.

(Part 1)

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog kick off the new year by diving deep into the psychology of compounding success, handling client loss, building an irresistible brand, and the surprising power of stopping your worst habits before adding new ones. Packed with frameworks, mindsets, and strategies for scaling coaching businesses, this conversation sets a foundation for meaningful, profitable growth in 2026 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Compounding Karl Bryan explains how real progress in both business and personal growth follows a compounding curve—boring and slow for most of the journey, before results skyrocket. He compares doubling a penny every day to the patient grind of building new habits, networking, and acquiring skills. Managing Client Loss & Turning Pain into Fuel Drawing from personal experience, Karl reframes lost clients as vital awakenings for a coach's development, not failures. He likens the evolution to relationships, urging coaches to "build into someone no client would want to leave," reject desperation, and approach setbacks as chances to upgrade purpose and mastery. Status, Energy, and Luxury Branding in Coaching Karl discusses how "vibe" and energy—like a seasoned waiter in a top restaurant—create attraction and authority in client relationships. Coaches who hold themselves with confidence (not arrogance) and employ purposeful energy are respected, sought after, and able to retain clients long-term. Exclusivity, Scarcity & Storytelling Luxury brands like Gucci and Ferrari don't just charge more—they mean more. Karl reveals how controlled scarcity, storytelling, and identity shift the coaching value proposition from transactional to transformational. Rather than being "liked by everyone," coaches and clients win by being respected and building a brand people want to join. Zen Master Insights for Happiness & Productivity Karl shares Arthur Brooks' 4 rules for happiness and adds his own: "learning." He warns about the "death loop" of social media comparison, the dangers of technical work without meaning, and the need for deeper faith, family, genuine friendships, and personal growth. The Power of Eliminating Worst Habits First Instead of piling on new habits, Karl encourages coaches to ruthlessly cut out the most sabotaging activities—doom scrolling, excessive TV, video games, etc.—and channel freed-up energy into productive tasks. Focus is achieved more through removing distractions than forcing attention. Notable Quotes "The problem with compounding is it's not till day 25 that there's any excitement. The numbers are tiny and lame till everything takes off." "[When you lose a client], it's not the time to cry in your Cheerios—It's an awakening more than anything else." "Neediness is your enemy. Walk in like you own the place, not like you want to buy it." "Luxury branding isn't about charging more—it's about meaning more." "Focus is eliminating distractions more than it is focusing. No is a decision, yes is a responsibility." "Comparison is the thief of joy. Social media... is a death loop for happiness." Actionable Takeaways Play the Long Game With Compounding: Stick with new disciplines far past the "boring" stage; results will spike after consistency and patience. Transform Setbacks Into Upgrades: When clients leave, treat it as a wake-up call to elevate skills, boundaries, and purpose—don't focus on loss, focus on mastery. Embodied Confidence Wins Clients: Present yourself with purposeful energy and professional vibe—confidence, not arrogance, is magnetic to prospects. Engineer Scarcity & Story: Position your coaching as exclusive; tell a bigger brand story that clients aspire to join. Scarcity creates clarity and demand. Eliminate (Not Add) For Focus: List your worst habits and cut one immediately. Use freed-up time for learning, networking, or strategic work. Protect Your Mindset: Consciously avoid social media comparison and schedule time for real relationships, faith, and continual self-education.

The Autonomic Nervous System: Your Body's Survival Command CenterSherry revisits the autonomic nervous system — the unconscious system running everything behind the scenes: thoughts, emotions, behavior, hormones, digestion, metabolism.When life feels overwhelming or unsafe, this system shifts into protection mode (fight-or-flight, sympathetic state). This state isn't bad or broken — it's brilliant, designed to help you survive real danger. The problem? It was meant to last minutes or hours, not weeks, months, or years.2. Why Protection Mode Slows MetabolismWhen your body senses danger, survival comes first, not weight release. It adapts by slowing metabolism, conserving energy, increasing cravings, and prioritizing fat storage.If you struggle with constant hunger, sugar cravings, binge eating, or dopamine-seeking behaviors, remember: your body is not failing — it's doing exactly what it was designed to do.3. Cortisol: The “Keep You Alive” HormoneCortisol, released from the adrenal glands in protection mode, keeps blood sugar available, provides instant energy, and ensures survival.Cortisol pulls glucose into the bloodstream, increases cravings for quick energy, triggers binge responses, and makes you feel like a bottomless pit. In modern life, we stress, sit, and scroll instead of running or climbing. That unused blood sugar circulates, creating hormonal consequences.4. Insulin: The Storage HormoneWhen blood sugar stays high, insulin steps in to store glucose as glycogen, protect tissues, and convert excess sugar into body fat once storage is full.When insulin is high, your body cannot access stored fat. This is why weight release stalls and dieting feels futile. Repeated cortisol + insulin spikes can lead to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroid symptoms, or adrenal fatigue. Sherry reminds us: these conditions are results, not starting points.5. Why Dieting Doesn't Fix the Root ProblemTrying to “just stop sugar” while cortisol is high is like trying to stop your body from healing a cut. Logic cannot override biology. Elevated cortisol keeps cravings, binge urges, and food obsession active. That's why Make Peace With Food starts with regulating the nervous system, not controlling food.6. Scarcity Mindset = Protection ModeScarcity mindset is protection mode. Any “not enough” thought — not enough time, sleep, money, progress, worth — keeps cortisol elevated. Success doesn't eliminate scarcity because it's fear-based. Fear biologically signals danger.7. Fear Creates ChemistryEvery thought creates chemistry: Scarcity → fear → protection mode → cortisol → cravings + storage. This is why people can know what to do, want change, yet still feel stuck. Biology always overrides willpower.TakeawaysYour body is protective, not failing.Cortisol and insulin are survival hormones.Chronic stress locks the body into storage mode.Dieting cannot fix a dysregulated nervous system.Scarcity mindset keeps you in protection mode.Journal PromptsWhere do I live in “not enough”?What fears keep my body in protection mode?How does my body protect me through food?What would safety feel like in my body today?What small shift could move me from scarcity to trust?Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

In this solo episode of Can't Be Contained, Samantha Skelly dives into money magnetism and the identity-level shifts that transform how women experience wealth, receiving, and self-worth. Recorded live at Women & Wealth, this session explores the real roots of scarcity—inherited money stories, nervous system dysregulation, and what Samantha calls "competing agreements" that quietly block expansion. Rather than pushing harder or fixing surface-level mindset issues, Samantha invites listeners to look at how safety, regulation, and language shape their relationship with money. In this episode, Samantha covers: ➤ How unconscious money stories keep women stuck in scarcity and over-efforting ➤ What "competing agreements" are and how they sabotage growth ➤ Why nervous system regulation is essential for sustainable wealth ➤ The language and identity shifts that change how money responds ➤ Practical exercises to rewrite money stories and expand the capacity to receive This episode is an invitation to release outdated money stories and step into a more regulated, aligned relationship with wealth — one rooted in clarity, safety, and self-trust.  

What if money isn't responding to how hard you work—but how safe you feel receiving it? In this episode, we're diving into the energetics of money—how subconscious beliefs, nervous system patterns, self-worth, and identity all shape your ability to create, hold, and receive abundance. This conversation goes far beyond strategy. We're unpacking the invisible forces that actually have more influence over your financial reality—and why shifting from scarcity into overflow begins internally, not externally. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but money still feels heavy, inconsistent, or stressful, this episode will change the way you see wealth. And if this conversation resonates, my guest in today's episode, Caz and I are bringing this work even deeper in the new year with our upcoming 30 Day Abundance Reset—a grounded, embodied experience designed to help you rewrite your relationship with money from the inside out.   Guest Links: Caz Makepeace: @‌ytravelblog Website: https://www.ytravelblog.com/   Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_exploreaee

Donors can smell desperation a mile away.My client, who runs a nonprofit with a massive heart and a solid mission, used to approach donor meetings from a place of fear.“What if they say no?” “Am I asking for too much?” “What if I seem like a burden?”That is the voice of scarcity.

Because it is when you're coming from that space.If you're running a nonprofit, raising money for a project, or trying to fund your dream, this mindset is sabotaging you before you even open your mouth.Today I'll show you how to flip the script, how to move from survival-based pitching to powerful, integrity-based enrollment that actually works.Download Our Free Guide to Free Instant Reset: A Simple Hack to Getting Unstuck and Into Actionhttps://beunmessablewith.com/instant-reset/Connect With JosselyneWebsite: beunmessablewith.comInstagram: @beunmessablewith

SHOW NOTES:In this episode, Matt Zaun sits down with Ryan Hogan, Founder & CEO of Talent Harbor, to unpack what actually works in recruiting top sales talent today. They dig into why “keep it simple” beats complex hiring funnels, how to design a value ladder that moves buyers forward, and where AI helps (and hurts) in the hiring process. Ryan also shares the gritty lessons that shaped him (from bankruptcies to billion-dollar beliefs) and the leadership habits he brought home from the Navy.In this episode, they cover:✅ Value ladder & micro-commitments — the psychology of getting small “yeses,” including Ryan's Hunt A Killer application flow that primed buyers before any purchase.✅ Authentic scarcity — how to use real capacity limits (e.g., only onboarding 3–4 clients/week) to increase conversion without breaking trust.✅ AI in recruiting (the truth) — great for assessments and repurposing insights; poor at relationship-building with A-players who won't talk to a bot first.✅ Hiring veterans — look for resilience + self-awareness; ask how they learned, trained, failed, and translated that into civilian impact....and much more!BIOS:Ryan Hogan is the Founder & CEO of Talent Harbor, specializing in flat-rate, expert sales recruiting.

Scarcity is not accidental—it is engineered. From Venezuela to Texas, corporate extraction enriches elites while communities suffer. Progressives now have both the moral clarity and political opening to fight back. Arturo Dominguez discusses. #PDRK

Every Christmas season, A Christmas Carol returns to our screens and pages as a story of generosity, redemption, and hope. But beneath the familiar narrative, Charles Dickens was also making a powerful argument—one that challenges how society views the poor, children, and human worth itself.In today's Christmas episode of Faith & Finance, we sat down with Jerry Bowyer, our resident economist and president of Bowyer Research, to explore the deeper economic and theological message Dickens embedded in this classic tale.The Meaning Behind “Surplus Population”One of the most disturbing lines in A Christmas Carol comes from Ebenezer Scrooge, who suggests that the poor might be better off dying to reduce the “surplus population.”Jerry explained that this phrase wasn't casual or poetic—it was loaded with meaning in Dickens' day. It reflected the influence of Thomas Malthus, an economist whose ideas shaped early 19th-century thinking. Malthus believed population growth would always outpace food and resources, making widespread poverty inevitable. His conclusion? Society should discourage the poor from having children.Dickens deliberately places this language in the mouth of his villain. Scrooge isn't just cruel—he's the embodiment of a philosophy that treats people as economic problems rather than human beings made in God's image.Jerry noted that Dickens was, in effect, writing A Christmas Carol as a rebuttal to Malthus.By the time Dickens wrote the story, Britain was entering what economists now call the Great Takeoff—a period of unprecedented growth in productivity, trade, and human flourishing. Malthus had predicted catastrophe just before abundance exploded.Dickens highlights this abundance through scenes overflowing with food, trade goods, and celebration. The message is clear: people don't merely consume resources—they create them.Scarcity, Trauma, and Scrooge's PastDickens doesn't excuse Scrooge's cruelty, but he does explain it. Through the Ghost of Christmas Past, we see a lonely boy shaped by hunger, cold, and deprivation.Jerry pointed out that Scrooge's scarcity mindset is rooted in trauma. His fear of lack leads him to believe that God—if He exists at all—is stingy. That fear shapes his economics, his relationships, and his resistance to generosity.The turning point comes when Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Present. When told the spirit has over 1,800 brothers—each representing a Christmas—Scrooge responds, “What a large family to provide for.”It's another glimpse of his scarcity thinking. And it draws sharp rebuke.Jerry emphasized that Dickens is confronting the idea that more people mean less provision. In contrast, Scripture reveals a God who is generous, creative, and abundant—and who commands humanity to fill the earth, not fear it.No One Is DisposableBy the end of the story, Scrooge is transformed. He becomes generous, relational, and deeply concerned for others—especially children like Tiny Tim.Jerry observed that in a Malthusian worldview, Tiny Tim is expendable. But Dickens—and the gospel—say otherwise. There are no surplus people.Even Jesus Himself, Jerry noted, would have been classified as “surplus population” by such a system—born poor, dependent, and unwanted by the powerful.The language may have changed, but the ideas persist. Whenever society treats children as burdens, the poor as problems, or human life as expendable in the name of efficiency or sustainability, we are hearing echoes of Scrooge before his redemption.Dickens reminds us that economics is always moral—and theology always shapes how we view people.Watching With New EyesAs Jerry put it, A Christmas Carol isn't just a holiday story. It's a challenge to scarcity, fear, and dehumanization—and an invitation to generosity rooted in trust.As families watch this story together, it becomes a powerful opportunity to talk with our children about God's abundance, human dignity, and what it truly means to love our neighbor.Because the real miracle of Christmas isn't simply changed behavior—it's a changed heart.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a substantial amount of savings sitting in the bank and want to protect it from inflation.
