    Are you feeling that exhaustion, that silent virus of burnout and resentment cutting through your salon? Maybe you're wondering why the joy and momentum of the pre-2020 industry seem gone, replaced by a deep, collective craving for the past? If so, then this one is for you. Today, I'm bringing you a slightly "woo-woo" mindset episode, and peeling back the layers on the Achilles heel that's crippling growth: our deep aversion to change. In this episode, I reveal a profound insight I had during my own reflection time, a real breakthrough moment for me, and I think it will be for you too. I'm challenging you with four uncomfortable, non-negotiable questions designed to snap you out of stagnation and start winning the game of change, and a whole lot more.  As you listen, I want you to remember that you can't change anybody else and the only person you can change is you! You can change your perspective, your reaction, how you show up, and change is the only way to succeed. Holding on to the past will only cripple you, your business, and your life moving forward, and I hope this one helps shift your perspective as we move into 2026.  If you need a tool to keep your numbers (and business!) organized, you'll want to check out our Wealthiest Year Yet Planner.

    THE ACTOR-EMPEROR AND THE SHIFT FROM DIGNITAS TO INTIMACY Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. In this session, set against the backdrop of a cold winter in Londinium, Gaius and Germanicus explore the evolution of the imperial persona, drawing sharp parallels between the Roman Emperor Nero and modern American figures Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. Germanicus argues that the essential skill of the modern "emperor" is the capacity to create an intimate emotional connection with the populace, a transformation that began with Teddy Roosevelt's dramatic speeches but was fully realized by Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fireside chats." While Roman emperors like Augustus relied on dignitas, stoicism, and an aura of divinity, the American tradition demands that the leader embody the "passions and authenticity of the people." Donald Trump is identified as the culmination of this trend, possessing an "intense capacity to connect emotionally," which allows him to survive overwhelming opposition, unlike Clinton, whose "genius is fled" in his later years.

    https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM704_MDM_Oct23_25.mp3   I'm laying it out straight: when you give more service, you make more money—period. Earl Nightingale nailed it, and I've seen it for decades. Sales as Service: Give More ServiceMost people think sales is pressure. I don't. Sales is service. Your income rises with the need for what you do, your ability to do it, and the difficulty in replacing you. That's the Law of Compensation at work. Decision-Making that Supports More ServiceResults follow decisive people. Leaders decide quickly, change slowly, and persist. If you're stuck in “maybe,” you're broadcasting average. Decide to give more service and raise your standard. Value Over Price: Service WinsStop training clients to focus on price. Shift their attention to outcomes, not discounts. When you give more service, you attract buyers who value results—and you build clients for life. Episode 511 – Give Full Value to Receive Full Value Episode 499 – 3 Steps to Mastering Sales Episode 343 – Earl Nightingale: The Dean of Personal Development You are successful on paper… but why doesn't it feel like freedom?In February, I'm bringing together a group of driven entrepreneurs for a 2-day business intensive where we strip away the fear, resistance, and patterns that quietly cap your growth, and get you clear on your next breakthrough. Together, we'll uncover what's been holding you back, claim the freedom you've been chasing, and walk away with the clarity and courage to lead your business — and your life — on your terms. And because business growth isn't just about mindset, Steph Tuss is teaching a special marketing session on the latest business-building tactics that are working now.

    Single-family rental investors are heading into 2026 with a more disciplined, selective mindset, according to new survey data. While investor confidence remains intact, the era of "growth at all costs" appears to be over. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest Q4 2025 LendingOne/ResiClub Single-Family Rental Investor Survey, including what it reveals about buying and selling plans, portfolio rebalancing, rising insurance costs, rent expectations, and shifting views on mortgage rates. The data points to a market driven less by speculation and more by fundamentals, cost control, and long-term strategy as investors position themselves for 2026. We look at what's driving inflation now — including food, energy, and shelter costs — and how markets reacted to the softer-than-expected data.

    Sign Up for Mostly Dry January--The DailyIn this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly tackles a common end-of-year mindset trap: the “sin and repent” cycle. It's the idea that December is for overindulgence and January is for repentance—a pattern that often reinforces all-or-nothing thinking and keeps us stuck in old drinking habits.Through personal reflections and practical coaching, Molly unpacks the power of permission-giving thoughts like “It's the holidays, I deserve this” or “I'll get back on track in January.” These seemingly harmless ideas delay change, undermine self-trust, and reinforce avoidance patterns.But there's a better way—and it starts by practicing mindful thought shifts right now, not later. With her See, Soothe, Separate, Shift method and a science-backed approach to building new thought habits, Molly shows listeners how to move through the holiday season with more clarity, agency, and peace.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the “I'll be good in January” mindset is not harmless—and how it reinforces habits you're trying to breakWhat permission-giving thoughts sound like and why they feel so rationalHow delaying behavior change until January trains your brain to avoid discomfortThe difference between self-compassion and excuse-makingHow to use the See, Soothe, Separate, Shift framework to rewire your thinking in real timeKey Quote“It's not a willpower problem—it's a pattern problem.

You can begin noticing and shifting thoughts right now—before the year ends.Ask yourself:Is this a self-compassionate thought?Or is it a permission-giving excuse?What's one small choice I can make today that aligns with who I'm becoming?Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

We discuss food as a source of comfort, as a means of coping, and how diet culture fosters shame while Scripture promotes renewal. You'll hear why healing requires more than surface-level behavior change and how faith-centered wellness brings freedom that actually lasts.We also dive into JT's “Empty Your Buckets” approach—why simplifying nutrition, renewing the mind, and aligning with your identity in Christ changes everything.

Jeff “Bronco Billy” Browning is back, and we go everywhere: Cocodona's weird and wonderful rise into a spectator cult phenomenon, the tiny weather window that makes that race possible, and what it feels like when you are having one of those perfect days in a hundred.Jeff talks about his best races ever (including a scorching San Diego 100 and a 19:33 at Wasatch), and what actually made them click, training blocks, timing, and yes, a little luck. We also get nerdy and practical with an underrated, overrated, properly rated game, covering trail super shoes (carbon on trail, and why the foam matters more), heat training, speedwork for ultra runners (hello zone 3), and why you have to practice race nutrition in training if you want race day to feel automatic.Then we time travel to the early 2000s when ultra gear was basically a fishing vest era, handheld bottles ruled, poles were not a thing, and race nutrition was gels, S-caps, and hope. Jeff shares how mentorship and group long runs shaped the scene back then, and why adventure running and storytelling still matter more than a stat on a results page.We also get into the realities of long efforts and sleep deprivation, including why Jeff would choose self-supported if he goes long again (less complaining, more problem solving). And yes, there are animal stories, including some genuinely terrifying mountain lion encounters, plus the lightning strike moment at Hardrock that led to one of the most ultrarunning reasons ever to change your earrings.To close it out, Jeff breaks down how he made hundreds work while raising a family, with a simple framework: flexible training, non-negotiable family time, and getting creative with when long runs happen. We finish with what is next, some training races, Cocodona, a Western States swing, and the itch to do more adventure style projects.Sponsors: Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS CoffeeChapters00:00 Introduction and Background05:48 Cocodona 250: Growth and Popularity08:38 Memorable Races and Personal Bests11:51 The Mental and Physical Toll of Long Distances14:44 Self-Supported vs. Supported Racing17:48 The Shift in Running Focus: Adventure vs. Competition20:55 The Importance of Storytelling in Running23:51 Training Insights: Speedwork and Nutrition28:29 Preparing for Race Day: The Importance of Training Camps30:00 Evolution of Gear: Trends from the Early 2000s33:09 Nutrition and Hydration: Lessons from the Past35:46 The Social Aspect of Ultra Running: Mentorship and Community39:43 From Hobby to Career: The Journey of an Ultra Runner42:36 Race Directing: The Challenges and Rewards45:42 Wildlife Encounters: Stories from the Trail55:18 Balancing Family Life and Ultra Running56:10 Balancing Work and Family Life59:00 Creating Quality Family Time01:02:58 Navigating Technology and Family Connections01:03:50 The Story Behind the Earrings01:10:13 Future Plans and Upcoming Races01:18:39 Introduction and Community Connection01:22:40 The Importance of Supportive Relationships01:26:49 Fostering a Positive CommunitySubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

    3525: iBanFirst and the Shift Toward Specialist Fintechs for Global Payments

    The Tech Blog Writer Podcast

    What does it really take to build a fintech company that quietly fixes one of the most frustrating problems SMEs face every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Pierre-Antoine Dusoulier, the Founder and CEO of iBanFirst, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, timing, and why cross-border payments have remained broken for so long.  Pierre-Antoine's story begins in London, where his early career as an FX trader felt like a compromise at the time, yet quietly gave him a front-row seat to inefficiencies most people accepted as normal. That experience would later shape two companies and a very clear point of view on how money should move across borders. Pierre-Antoine walks through his first venture, Combeast.com, one of France's earliest FX brokerages for retail investors, and what he learned from selling it to Saxo Bank and staying on to run Western European operations. That chapter matters, because it exposed the gap between how sophisticated FX markets really are and how poorly SMEs are served when FX and payments are bundled together inside traditional banks. Out of that frustration, IbanFirst was born in 2016 with a simple idea: treat cross-border payments as a specialist discipline, not a side feature. Today, IbanFirst serves more than 10,000 clients across Europe and processes over €2 billion in transactions every month. We dig into why growth has continued while many fintechs have slowed, from a product designed to be used daily, to proactive sales, to a new generation of CFOs and CEOs who expect the same clarity and speed at work that they get from consumer fintech tools.  Pierre-Antoine explains how real-time FX rates, payment tracking using SWIFT GPI, and multi-entity account management change the day-to-day reality for SMEs trading internationally. We also talk about Brexit, and how being rooted in continental Europe created an unexpected opening. Pierre-Antoine shares why expanding into the UK, including the acquisition of Cornhill, made sense, and why London's payments ecosystem still stands apart in scale and depth. Along the way, he is refreshingly open about the heavy investment required in compliance, trust, and regulation, and why nearly a third of IbanFirst's team focuses on operations and oversight. Looking ahead, Pierre-Antoine lays out a bold vision for the SME payments market, predicting a future where specialists replace banks in much the same way fintech reshaped consumer money transfers. As cross-border trade grows and currency volatility becomes a daily concern, his perspective raises an interesting question for anyone running an international business today:  if specialists already exist, why keep relying on systems that were never designed for how SMEs actually operate?

    Disconnected from your body in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores quantum human design for neurodivergent reconnection with Dr. Karen Parker, Human Design/Quantum Human Design expert (psychology/holistic health background, founder of Quantum Human Design™). Integrating ancient wisdom/quantum physics, Dr. Parker decodes energetic blueprints for growth—workshops/courses/consults empowering authentic purpose/societal harmony. Key insights: Body disconnection: Epidemic from kindergarten (overstim/shame, "treehouse" numbness); leads to distractions (TV/phone/food) to avoid pain. Micro-trauma: Not just big events—shaming needs (e.g., bathroom denial) teaches "unsafe to be me"; compounds to burnout (body refuses mask). Redefine value: Shift from material/numerical (money/size) to preciousness (once-in-lifetime cosmic event)—nurture self like royal gems. Quantum human design: High-frequency language rewires stories (photon storms/neurotransmitters); hero's journey (creative writing/dance) upgrades victim to victor, boosts immunity/creativity. Healing steps: Compassion without judgment ("ready for change"); rest/outdoors/body listening; frequency physics (high vibe pulls others up—influential/authentic living). ND application: Burnout from masking (exhaustion trying to fit); safe embodiment for empaths/sensitives—rewrite low-frequency trauma narratives.

    When the world's leading voice in human-centered privacy joins forces with the high-octane energy of Ash Brown, the result is an eye-opening deep dive into the digital frontier. Ash Brown welcomes Ken Griggs, the Emmy award-winning technologist and CEO of Julia Social, for a timely conversation about the UK government's proposed nationwide digital ID system and its global implications. The Big Debate: Security vs. Surveillance Ken Griggs brings decades of expertise in blockchain technology and cryptography to dissect what a centralized digital ID truly means for the average citizen. While governments pitch these systems as a convenience for accessing public services, Ken sounds the alarm on the hidden costs to personal privacy and data autonomy. In this captivating episode, Ash and Ken explore: The Centralization Trap: Why storing the identity of an entire nation in a single database creates a high-risk honey pot for hackers and state actors. The Julia Social Vision: How Ken's work with Julia Social advocates for a decentralized identity approach, where individuals—not institutions—own and control their own data. The UK Digital ID Ripple Effect: Why the global community should watch these legislative moves closely, as they could set a groundbreaking or dangerous precedent for digital rights worldwide. Turning Tech Insight into Real-World Action Ash Brown's signature Authentic Optimism keeps the conversation grounded as Ken provides actionable insights on how listeners can protect their digital footprints today. From understanding the mechanics of Not.Bot to the security power of the Chia blockchain, this interview bridges the gap between complex tech and everyday life.

    The Inner Shift That Ends the Need to Escape with Jay Stinnett | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this powerful and deeply reflective episode, longtime sober member, historian, spiritual teacher, and filmmaker Jay Stinnett shares an extraordinary journey that spans addiction, surrender, awakening, and a lifetime of conscious spiritual practice. With more than four decades of continuous sobriety, Jay recounts hitting bottom at a young age, walking into his first recovery meeting broken and desperate, and experiencing a profound inner shift that changed him on a cellular level. He explores addiction as a spiritual malady, the illusion that something outside ourselves can make us whole, and how true healing comes through rigorous honesty, amends, service, prayer, and meditation. The conversation weaves through raw personal stories of early recovery, sponsorship, marriage, grief, and loss, while also diving into the deeper spiritual roots of the recovery movement and the importance of conscious contact with a higher power. Jay also shares the remarkable story behind producing the award-winning documentary Bill W: Conscious Contact, including risking everything to tell a story he felt spiritually called to share. This episode is a moving testament to faith, resilience, creativity, and the idea that a fully lived life—no matter how painful or beautiful—is the greatest spiritual adventure of all.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

She outlines seven practical shifts leaders can implement now, from measuring success through relationships and protecting thinking time to reshaping one-to-ones, running meetings that create momentum, and bringing the right energy into every room. If burnout, low engagement, or turnover are on your radar, this conversation offers a clear, human-centered guide for strengthening culture while still delivering results. About Michelle JohnstonDr. Michelle Johnston, named a Woman of the Year, Top Ten Executive Coach, and Top 500 Business Leader, is redefining leadership through the power of connection.

    Quebec retail is outperforming expectations. Triple-A centres are running near-zero vacancy, rents are stabilizing, and consumers are spending more time in places that feel like destinations, not just shopping stops.   In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with retail real estate leader Manon Larose to break down what is actually working right now: why retail is no longer "online vs in-store," how the tenant mix is shifting toward food, fitness, beauty, and entertainment, and why mixed-use is becoming the default playbook for major sites like Carrefour Laval and Royalmount.   If you work in commercial real estate, leasing, development, or retail expansion, this is a practical look at what's driving demand and how to plan for 2026.   Topics & Timestamps

    In his final interview, Emilio Ortiz & Franco Romero delivers one of the most emotional and revealing transmission to date. We dive into the truth about 2026, the breaking of the final dimensional tethers, the Great Remembering, and why humanity is entering a period of accelerated awakening unlike anything our species has lived through. Franco explains how the Divine Child is returning as the new operating system for human consciousness, why so many people feel destabilized right now, and how the 9D architecture of reality is collapsing old identities so we can embody our 5D blueprint. We explore the spiritual, energetic, and psychological implications of the next 12–24 months, including timeline compression, DNA activation, emotional purging, and the moment he realized he could no longer continue public interviews — a moment that brought both of us to the edge.✦ Even though it's his last interview for the foreseeable future, Franco has opened the doors to his full initiatory course, The Way of the Inner Child.

    High performance often leads to pressure, bracing, and identity drift. This episode reveals how high achievers move from survival-driven excellence into grounded, high-capacity presence. Learn why reducing identity load—not adding discipline—creates real freedom.Why does high performance eventually feel like pressure instead of possibility?In this episode, Julie unpacks the identity and nervous system map behind the shift from high performer to High Capacity Human, showing why bracing becomes your default and how alignment—not more discipline—creates the internal expansion you've been craving.You'll learn how three types of load quietly accumulate beneath your success:• Cognitive Load — the tasks you track, manage, and anticipate• Emotional Load — the responsibilities you hold for others• Identity Load — the version of you that performs instead of expressesTogether, these loads create the pressure, sympathetic activation, and identity margin that make even good seasons feel heavier than they should.Julie breaks down the difference between negative drive (pressure, vigilance, survival) and positive drive (presence, grounded clarity, internal safety), offering a transformational reframe:Capacity isn't what you produce —It's who you become when your life and identity finally match.This episode helps high-capacity humans name:• why they brace even when nothing is wrong• why performance feels safer than presence• why approval, excellence, and responsibility became identity• why calm feels unfamiliar• the emotional and physiological signs of identity margin• how reducing identity load increases internal capacity• why capacity begins where bracing endsThis conversation also clarifies why mindset work and productivity tools are insufficient for true change.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) goes deeper — past habits, past hacks, past performance patterns — into the root of who you are.It's not another strategy.It's the foundational identity shift that makes every other tool effective again.Micro Recalibration (Individuals + Teams)Ask yourself:“Which version of me is carrying the most load — and which part of that load is no longer mine?”Notice:• What shifts in your posture or breath when you step into that version?• What would 2% less bracing feel like in that moment?Team Extension:“What unspoken expectations shape how we perform — and what would change if we valued presence over pressurIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

    (Episode #312) The cocoon appears when the old way of being can no longer hold who you are becoming. In this guided meditation, I invite you into the cocoon, a gentle inner space where you do not have to figure anything out. You are simply asked to arrive, soften, and allow the next version of you to take shape in its own time.  This practice creates space for old identities, habits, and ways of surviving to loosen. Inside the cocoon, your inner world reorganises naturally, guided by intuition, awareness, and the deeper intelligence that has always known the way forward. This meditation is for you if you are: • Moving through change or transition • Feeling called to slow down rather than push • Ready to release what no longer fits • Wanting to reconnect with your inner knowing Listen in a space where you feel supported and allow yourself to move at your own pace.

    AI for MSPs: Navigating Control and Accountability in Automated Services

    Thrive, a global technology outsourcing provider, is pursuing a $1 billion market position by the end of 2029, following significant revenue growth and 27 acquisitions since its inception. The company is focusing on enhancing its service offerings, particularly in managed artificial intelligence services, through a $100 million investment in its next-gen 3.0 platform. This shift raises critical questions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) regarding who controls decision-making in IT operations as AI begins to play a more active role in execution rather than merely advisory functions. The integration of AI into managed services could lead to a concentration of power upstream, potentially undermining the authority and accountability of MSPs.Recent data on IT leadership diversity reveals that representation has stagnated, with 83% of IT leaders being white and over 78% male. This lack of diversity in leadership roles can create strategic blind spots, particularly as technology evolves rapidly. The report indicates that while there has been some improvement in gender representation among larger companies, racial diversity remains largely unchanged. This stability in leadership demographics may limit the perspectives necessary for effective technology governance, especially in a landscape increasingly influenced by AI and automation.Additional developments include the launch of the HiPori Partner Program, which aims to enhance secure mobile access for resellers and MSPs, and TD Cinex's AI Game Plan Workshop designed to assist partners in implementing AI solutions for their customers. These initiatives reflect a growing trend among technology providers to standardize outcomes and streamline processes, which may inadvertently reduce the differentiation and authority of MSPs as they adopt these frameworks.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications of these developments are significant. As AI-driven execution becomes more prevalent, MSPs must redefine their responsibility and authority to avoid unpriced liabilities. The current landscape suggests that those who can clearly articulate control and accountability in automated environments will have a competitive advantage. Ignoring these shifts could lead to operational risks and customer dissatisfaction, emphasizing the need for MSPs to adapt their strategies in response to the evolving technological landscape. Three things to know today 00:00 Thrive's $1B Ambition, OpenAI Investment, and AI Automation Push Highlight a Shift in Who Controls “Good IT”05:26 Q4 2025 IT Leadership Data Confirms a Five-Year Stall in Diversity Despite Rapid Technology Change10:56 Hypori, TD Synnex, and N-able Moves Show MSPs Trading Local Control for Centralized AI and Endpoint Frameworks This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  ingocni.com/tech10   PROMO CODE: tech10https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

    PAT FLYNN: Opting Out of Learning Overload

    Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

    Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the intensity you've chased in relationships wasn't love, but dopamine?Amanda McCracken is an award winning journalist, endurance athlete, and intimacy researcher who was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, long after she had built a successful career. From the outside, her life looked accomplished and disciplined. Inside, she struggled with distraction, emotional intensity, anxiety, and a lifelong pattern of romantic fixation. In this episode, Amanda shares how ADHD showed up quietly in her life, from trichotillomania and overthinking to using extreme exercise as a form of self regulation, long before she had language for what was actually happening.The conversation centers on limerence, a psychological state of intense romantic longing marked by obsession, idealization, and emotional highs and lows. Amanda explains how limerence thrives on uncertainty, making it especially powerful for ADHD brains that crave novelty and fast dopamine. Tracy and Amanda explore how rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, and trauma can blur the line between desire and self worth, and why many women mistake intensity for connection. Amanda also shares how chasing emotionally unavailable partners became an organizing force in her life, and how that pattern kept her stuck in fantasy instead of intimacy. She also had to confront a deeper truth: real intimacy feels quieter than fantasy. Today, Amanda is married to a securely attached partner and is the author of When Longing Becomes Your Lover, a deeply personal exploration of limerence, ADHD, and what it takes to receive love instead of chasing it.Resources:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-mccracken-4716373 Website: https://www.amandajmccracken.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.mccracken.39 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
