In a competitive fundraising environment, traction is everything. Investors want to see proof that people care about what you're building, and few signals are stronger than an active, engaged community. When customers gather around your product, share ideas, support each other, and drive word-of-mouth growth, you're not just building a loyal user base. You're creating an ecosystem.  And that makes your startup far more attractive to investors. A well-built community is proof of demand, trust, and staying power, three things investors look for before they write a check.  It shows that people aren't just buying your product. They believe in your mission, engage with your brand, and want to be part of what you're building. In this episode of Seed Money, we're joined by Ash Lennar, founder of Odd Circles, a cutting-edge platform that helps startups and brands build high-impact communities at scale.  Odd Circles has powered more than 300 communities worldwide, including one used by none other than Seth Godin. Ash shares how founders can use community as both a growth engine and a credibility signal, especially when fundraising isn't going to plan. Topics Covered: How Odd Circles grew to power over 300 real-world meetups The biggest mistakes founders make when pitching to investors Why bootstrapping might beat fundraising in a competitive market How to build a community even if your product isn't “community-based” What consumer brands, SaaS startups, and even food companies can learn from Ash's approach Leveraging community to generate revenue and investor traction How to grow community engagement beyond social media noise   Guest Bio Ash Lonare is a speaker, the Founder and CEO of Odd Circles, and host of The Founders Podcast. Odd Circles streamlines community and event management with world-class support, making it easier for you to monetize your events with direct payouts at a fraction of the cost. Connect with Ash on LinkedIn.      About Your Host Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

Episode 1696: James Altucher lays out a raw and honest look at what it truly means to be an entrepreneur, not when you have a business card or a dream, but when you've navigated failure, reinvented yourself, and found a way to earn back trust and money. His insights cut through the glamorized startup myths, offering a reality check that's both sobering and empowering for anyone on the entrepreneurial path. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jamesaltucher.com/blog/you-can-call-yourself-an-entrepreneur-when/ Quotes to ponder: "You're not an entrepreneur when you have an idea. You're not an entrepreneur when you have a business card." "You're an entrepreneur when you make a sale. When you build something valuable." "Every time I failed, I had to reinvent myself. And it was always painful."

We're back! After more than a year away from the mic, Habit Masters returns with an unscripted, heart-led conversation about what really drives us. In this comeback episode, Jeff and Sheldon talk about overcoming fear, embracing selfless love, and why the shift from survival mode to meaningful contribution is the real path to becoming your best self.Inspired by a Seth Godin post on “Generosity Fear,” we explore how love—not fear—is the key to lasting transformation. We also dig into self-care, spiritual insights, and why it's okay to embrace imperfect progress. Stick around for story time at the end, where we relive some epic wipeouts on longboards and hoverboards (because growth sometimes hurts—literally).

In this quick episode, I share what has been going on with the podcast and why I haven't been uploading. The truth is, that I am taking a step back from the show. I explain why and what comes next. Part of the episode is me reading off a post that I wrote, which you can read below. ------ I think it's time to let go of my podcast. Episode 1 of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast aired on 3/16/2016. Nearly 450 episodes later, I think it might be time to let it go. When I began the show, podcasting wasn't cool. This was before Huberman Lab and Diary of a CEO. This is before every influencer had their own podcast. I certainly wasn't one of the first podcasts, but I was in the cohort of podcasters that were influenced by Pat Flynn, Cliff Ravenscraft, and Daniel J. Lewis. Podcasts were the up and coming way to generate an audience and scale your craft. For me, this was a way to bring mental health content to the masses. In 2014, I released my first book, Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety. I wrote this during my pre-doctoral internship at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. The book was written and published in a matter of a couple weeks, driven by my frustrations with the mental health field following my wife's hospitalization (more about that in my TedX talk). Since the market was not yet saturated with potty-mouth self-help books, it was a hit and quickly became my primary source of income. With the popularity of the book came emails and direct messages asking me questions. As someone who was working toward becoming licensed as a psychologist, it was important that I didn't give out direct advice to people in a private forum unless I had an established care relationship with the person. That's when I realized I could make my childhood dreams of having a newspaper advice column come true by starting a podcast. Truthfully, this was not my first foray into podcasting. I tried to start a podcast about the 90s with my friends called The Good Old Days, but that failed to launch. Then I had a podcast that ran for a good while called The Voices Among Us, in which I interviewed unhoused people on the street about their lives. Those experiences meant that I had the tools and knowledge necessary to launch the Hardcore Self Help Podcast. And man, has it been great. I have had the opportunity to answer questions about anxiety, relationships, sexuality, school, neuroscience, medications, abusive families, PTSD, depression, bipolar, autism, mushrooms, ketamine, queerness, blackness, multiculturalism, gender identity and so much more. I've been able have great conversations with Seth Godin, Dr. Andrea Letamendi, Kati Morton, Gary Bishop, Dr. Anna Yusim, Tiffany Jenkins, Jenn Harris, Dr. Patrick McGrath, Tony Weaver Jr., Dr. Judy Ho, Dr. David Burns, and many others. And yet, as the years of the podcast march on, the interest is waning. I will always have pride for being something of an O.G. in the mental health podcasting space, but as my wife said recently, it's important to make room for other voices and to not force something that isn't working. I wouldn't say the podcast isn't working, but it certainly isn't what it once was. At one point in time, I was getting enough listens to garner thousands per month in advertising revenue. These days, I'm lucky if an episode hits 5,000 listens in a month. To be clear, that is still a substantial amount, but for the hours that I put into the podcast, the decline in listenership over time becomes hard to justify at a certain point. Here's a graph from my podcast hosting platform so you can see what I mean:  I worry a bit about coming off as ungrateful or just chasing numbers. Hopefully it's clear that I am immensely proud of what I've been able to do with the podcast and so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have a platform like this. I have a folder in my email with feedback from people that I have answered questions for, and trust me when I say there is no better pick-me-up on a rainy day than reading through some of them. However, ultimately, I need to figure out the best path forward for myself, for my career, and for my family. Unfortunately, a lot of that comes down to income right now. I need to make more money. While I get many benefits from continuing the podcast, it is no longer lucrative, and it takes up a great deal of time and mental space to maintain. As someone who always has my hands in many pies, I need to take a step back every so often to re-evaluate my priorities. To weigh the pros and cons of each facet of my career and life and determine where I should be increasing or decreasing my focus. Between my clinical work as a neuropsychologist and therapist, podcasting, writing books, giving professional talks, and being a presence for my family and loved ones, there isn't an obvious answer. But there is one that I am begrudgingly starting to admit to myself. I haven't even made an actual change yet, and I am already starting the grieving process. This project has been so incredibly important to me and central to my life. It's like letting go of a child. In fact, as I'm writing this, my 10-year-old just came in and told me that he doesn't want me to quit. Sigh… these choices are never easy. I should know – once upon a time, I wasn't known as Duff The Psych, I was known as the ASMRtist, Justawhisperingguy. And just like there are some OGs out there who have stuck around since my first ASMR videos, there will be OGs who are still with me a decade from now that started following me from my first podcast episodes. So, all of this begs the question: What now? I don't think I am going to be cutting off the podcast cold turkey. For one, I don't have any interest in getting rid of the entire back catalogue, so I'm not going to suddenly stop paying for my podcast host. I also may occasionally come back to post something on the podcast feed if I record an interview or have the bug to make some content. My Youtube channel will continue to be the primary platform where I release longform content. But it's time to take a big step back. It's time to find another avenue to continue building and engaging with my audience. It's time to put some effort into marketing my next book. It's time to stop stressing out because the kids are taking a long time to go to sleep or are being too loud so I can't record. It's time to take a deep breath and step off into the next stage of my life and career. Whatever the hell that may turn out to be.   Love, Robert

Rachel Hollis's career wasn't an overnight success.

In this candid, unscripted "snack episode," Tracy is interviewed by Miranda, our Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International and the Thriving Practice Community. Tracy shares her practical planning process for helping healthcare practice owners transform their ideas into achievable quarterly goals. She explains how to plan effectively even during uncertainty and maintain enthusiasm while building a practice vision despite challenges.  Key Takeaways:  Tracy's planning process starts with clarity - connecting the what, why, and how of your goals  Emotional connection to goals makes it easier to put in the necessary effort  Beginning with clarity increases speed rather than haste  Break down long-term goals by working backward - from 12 months to 9, 6, 3 months, then to weekly and daily tasks  Breaking goals into smaller chunks prevents feeling overwhelmed  Celebrate daily accomplishments with a "ta-da list" to maintain positive energy and momentum  Look for subtle wins: improved feelings, better sleep, increased energy at work  Lack of patience is a major challenge for healthcare entrepreneurs who want solutions immediately  The importance of "slowing down to speed up" - surrendering to the process brings clarity  Finding your practice's unique edge goes beyond clinical expertise to what makes you stand out in a competitive market  Notable Quotes:  "When we're emotionally connected to a goal, then it's easier for us...to put in the effort and the labor that's required to make something come to fruition."  "Clarity actually helps us increase speed rather than like haste."  "Sometimes when we have big goals, it can feel so overwhelming that we don't even start."  "My coach who trained me taught me about the ta-da list at the end of each day, which is...don't diminish progress."  "When we use this beautiful tool called surrender and we trust the process, that slowing down brings us that clarity that helps us then move forward with more speed."  "What makes you stand out so that you don't feel like it's about competition...Seth Godin calls it Purple Cow. Right? Like, what is it about your practice that makes you unique? And it can't just be your clinical expertise. It's not enough."  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International. A graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design with expertise in writing and creative storytelling, Miranda brings her skills in operations, public relations, and communication strategies to the Thriving Practice community.

Jerry's foundational equation for leadership success: practical skills + radical self-inquiry + shared experiences = enhanced leadership and resilience3. Why teams most often fail (hint: it's not lack of talent or strategy)4. How busyness often masks deeper issues of self-worth5. Why a “growth mindset” can be problematic6.

Hello to you longtime storytelling galpal Michelle in Victoria, BC, Canada! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The other day Michelle alerted me to a post in Seth's Blog, a long, long, long-running publication by Seth Godin, author and strategist. A protest or a project?Protests let off steam. They organize people who might not show up by creating a moment in time where there's enough opportunity and social pressure that they participate.A protest sends a message.But almost every time, the very things that made a protest appealing mean that it fails to change much. That's because protests are momentary, temporary and urgent. The status quo is good at surviving protests. That's why it's still the status quo.The alternative is a project. A project begins with a protest that ends with, “we'll be back tomorrow, and we're bringing our friends.”A project is impatiently persistent. It plays a longer game, one that can outlast the status quo.A project identifies the system and brings a systematic approach to changing that system.Projects can seem boring when seen with a stopwatch, but they're powerful when measured with a calendar.Story Prompt: What happens next when the protest is over and you come back with your friends to unbalance the status quo? Write that story! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Threadless - the online artist community and design marketplace - is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Founder and CEO Jake Nickell joins me for char dogs at Poochie’s (a favorite for hot dog fans north of the city) and talks about the company’s history, his leadership role, and why he celebrates the weird designs. Discussed in this episode: Starting Threadless with $1000 and an idea Jake’s comfort in being a leader, and his leadership style Big mistakes (or, more euphemistically, learning opportunities) along the way Why Threadless’s success required marketing legend Seth Godin to be fired The value of remote/hybrid work Jake’s thoughts on AI, relative to the business of Threadless Growth plans for the next 5 years The impact of tariffs on business I say it early on in the interview, but Jake is not your typical CEO. He’s literally a dude you’d want to eat a hot dog with … who just happens to run one of the coolest, most influential, online businesses of the past 25 years. ## Car Con Carne sponsored by Easy Automation: easy-automation.net Transform your living space with cutting-edge home automation.

This week, Jen and Pete noodle on the notion of an ever-changing "who's it for", and the many different elements that go into thinking about your audience. (Hello, listeners!)Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:Why might the audience and/or intended purpose of a project change over time?How can being in an audience encourage a beginner's mindset, in addition to a growth mindset?How might you think about the psychographics of your audience, as opposed to demographics?To hear all episodes and read full transcripts, visit The Long and The Short Of It website: https://thelongandtheshortpodcast.com/.You can subscribe to our Box O' Goodies here (https://thelongandtheshortpodcast.com/) and receive a weekly email full of book and podcast recommendations, quotes, videos, and other interesting things that Jen and Pete are noodling on. To get in touch, send an email to: hello@thelongandtheshortpodcast.com.Learn more about Pete's work here (https://humanperiscope.com/) and Jen's work here (https://jenwaldman.com/).

In this minisode, I talk about how we can shift negative self-talk by learning to "talk to our brains" with kindness and humor. I share a story I saw online about someone who named her brain "Becky" and tells it, “We're not doing this today,” when negativity creeps in. It reminded me how we can reset our thoughts at any time.I explore the idea that thoughts often aren't based in the present moment, unlike real experiences—like the feeling of snow and sun on your face. I also touch on the importance of speaking kindly to ourselves and introduce the 5-to-1 praise-to-criticism ratio as a way to reframe our inner dialogue.I share a story about my daughter struggling with snowboarding, her own negative self-talk surfacing, and how I had to meet her with empathy. That experience reminded me to focus on what really matters—and to return to what brings us joy. For me, that's horses. They connect me to my truth.I wrap up by reflecting on Seth Godin's book This is Strategy: Make Better Plans, and how, like city roads that stay the same while buildings change, our mental "roads" are deeply ingrained. But we have the power to reroute our thoughts and clear our inner traffic. It all comes back to connection—between people, through adventure, and by speaking our truth.✨ It's not too late! ✨ You can still join the Courageous Women Rise Summit and catch my powerful conversation with the incredible Donna McGowan. We dive deep into courage, resilience, and what it really means to rise as women in today's world.

In this Book Club episode, we discuss Seth Godin's This Is Strategy, a nontraditional (and very bitty!) book with 297 mini-lessons on business and planning. We explore big themes like systems, games, time, and empathy—and how they shape strategy. It's a deep dive into what strategy actually means, with insights for marketers, business owners, and anyone navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.MAKING GOOD SHOW NOTES:https://makinggoodpodcast.com/294CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM:https://instagram.com/laurentildenGET 100 MARKETING PROMPTS (free!):https://makinggoodpodcast.com/100promptsGet your free training: Marketing 101 Video Training + Workbook.
