Podcasts about Simplicity

Most founders want a hack. Most apps promise a shortcut.But the fundamentals haven't changed in 300,000 years: sleep deeply, hydrate, eat real food, and lift heavy things.This episode dismantles the fantasy that “more tech = more health,” exposes why busy executives burn out even with expensive tools, and reframes fitness as relationship-based, not software-based.We dig into why high achievers chase optimization instead of consistency, how food processing quietly wrecks your hormones, and why proactivity beats the doctor's-warning-reactivity most men experience at 55.No aesthetic fluff. No app worship.Just the truth: your body runs on basics—and basics need a human.TL;DR* Health ≠ apps. The industry sells tools; humans want results.* AI can scale, but it can't notice when your voice sounds off at 7am.* Proactivity > reactivity. Don't wait for arrhythmia to start caring.* The “3–4 hour rule”: If you can't give your body 3–4 hours a week, you're lying about priorities.* Food processing is a hidden health killer: cheap ≠ harmless.* Fitness works best when integrated into life—not scheduled around it.Memorable Lines* “Nobody cares about tools. They care if they look better naked.”* “AI can give you a program. It can't give you empathy.”* “If you're too busy to walk, but never too busy to scroll, you're not busy—your priorities are.”* “You are what you eat… and what what-you-eat has eaten.”GuestCameron Harris — Founder, Truth FitnessCoaches entrepreneurs and senior executives who want results without gimmicks—and who need a human who actually notices the small things apps never can.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camtruth/Website: https://truthfitness.co.uk/Why This MattersIf you're a founder or operator, your health is your leverage.A bigger house, nicer car, or faster software means nothing if chronic fatigue or preventable illness takes you out of the game.Strong leaders build routines around sleep, nutrition, movement, and recovery—not around convenience.Design for the long arc:Simple habits. Real food. Human coaching. Consistency over optimization.That's what keeps you productive at 45… and still mobile at 70.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

In this conversation, Dr. Katharina Reinecke explores the intersection of technology and culture, discussing how cultural assumptions shape the design and functionality of technology. She delves into the implications of self-driving cars, the importance of understanding diverse user experiences, and the challenges posed by a predominantly Western perspective in technology development. The discussion highlights the need for greater cultural sensitivity in technology design and the potential consequences of ignoring these differences.Takeaways Technology is not culturally neutral; it reflects the values of its creators. Self-driving cars are based on American commuting assumptions. Cultural differences significantly impact user experience and technology design. Efficiency in technology can undermine social interactions and relationships. WEIRD populations dominate technology research, leading to biased outcomes. Universal design principles often fail when applied globally. Stack Exchange exemplifies individualistic design, contrasting with collectivist values. AI systems must be designed with cultural sensitivity to avoid reinforcing biases.Chapters 00:00 Understanding Digital Culture Shock 03:53 The Challenges of Autonomous Vehicles 06:21 Cultural Assumptions in Technology 08:37 The Impact of AI and Data Bias 10:32 Efficiency vs. Social Interaction in Design 12:14 The Concept of 'Weird' Populations 14:24 Cultural Values in Digital Platforms 21:53 The Simplicity of Design and Its Cultural Impact 22:51 Efficiency vs. Community: The Stack Exchange Debate 25:41 Adapting Global Platforms to Local Norms 31:52 The Implications of AI and Digital Infrastructure 34:34 Recognizing Cultural Bias in Technology Design 37:42 Technology as CultureFollow Katharina on Twitter, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and find her new book here.You can find Lab in the Wild on Twitter and BlueskySubscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

Building a strong company starts with strategic foundations for business growth. In Part 1 of our interview with Charly Leetham, we explore how clarity, customer understanding, and simple systems help businesses grow with confidence. Her insights show how the right strategic groundwork leads to long-term success. About Charly Leetham Charly Leetham brings more than 40 years of hands-on experience in building practical, reliable systems for small businesses. She earned her amateur radio license at 13, became an electronic engineer by 21, and completed her MBA while working full-time and raising two young children. Her career has spanned technical support, sales, project management, and client services, giving her a deep understanding of both technology and people. After running multiple franchises and overcoming a major business setback, she founded Ask Charly Leetham—now a long-standing digital services company supporting clients across Australia, the U.S., and beyond. Known for her clear, no-nonsense approach, Charly specializes in turning complex tech into simple, workable solutions. She also hosts Rise and Shine – Your Business Tech Boost, offering practical guidance to business owners who want answers they can trust. Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website Strategic Business Foundations Start With the Right Questions Charly opened the conversation with a key insight: you cannot build a strong business without asking strong questions. These questions shape your strategic business foundations and guide the decisions that follow. "Before you build, you must know what you're building and why." – Charly Leetham Too many business owners rush into action without defining their audience or validating the problem they're trying to solve. Charly recommends asking: Who is the ideal customer? What problem are we solving? Why does this solution matter? How will we measure success? These questions are simple, yet they prevent misalignment and wasted effort. Understanding Your Customer Is Key to Strategic Business Foundations Charly highlighted that meaningful customer insight is essential. Many entrepreneurs claim to understand their customers, but they rely on assumptions rather than evidence. This weakens their strategic business foundations and often leads to products that miss the mark. She encourages leaders to: Listen actively Observe behavior, not just opinions Identify real pain points Understand motivation and constraints "Your customers will tell you what they need—if you give them space to speak." This approach ensures your solution fits the customer's world—not just your idea of it. Simplicity Strengthens Strategic Business Foundations One of Charly's most powerful insights is the importance of simplicity. Many founders believe complexity signals value, but Charly argues that clarity creates far stronger strategic business foundations. She recommends: Stripping out non-essential features Using simple, direct language Focusing on the core value Removing any friction that confuses customers "If your customer can't understand what you do, they won't buy from you." Simplicity improves messaging, operations, and customer experience. Systems and Processes Anchor Your Strategic Business Foundations According to Charly, strong systems are not optional—they're essential. Businesses often wait too long to document processes or create workflows. This delay weakens their strategic business foundations and makes growth harder. Systems help businesses: Deliver consistently Delegate confidently Provide predictable customer experiences Avoid repeated mistakes Scale with stability Templates, automations, and repeatable processes transform chaos into structure. Final Thoughts: Building Strategic Business Foundations That Last Part 1 of our interview with Charly Leetham offers a powerful reminder: success begins with strategic business foundations. When you ask the right questions, understand your customers, simplify your offerings, and build systems early, you create a business that can grow with confidence and purpose. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore how automation, alignment, and intentional tools help businesses expand on these foundations and operate more efficiently.

In this episode, Eric Malzone talks with Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi (formerly Beachbody), about his remarkable path in transforming home fitness over the past quarter-century. Carl's story begins as a direct marketing expert who created 8 Minute Abs before building what would become one of the most extensive collections of fitness and nutrition programs available—featuring legendary workouts like P90X and Insanity from elite Super Trainers. The conversation covers BODi's transformation from a company focused on physical appearance to one championing healthspan and longevity. Carl discusses creating Shakeology®, which pioneered the superfood protein shake category, and how he developed one of the first social-influencer and affiliate networks in the fitness space. They dig into why the industry needs to serve everyday people seeking better health rather than just fitness enthusiasts, why genuine approaches work better than influencer marketing, and how keeping things simple opens fitness to more people. Key Takeaways

From Philadelphia roots to Louisiana leaps, and now leading at Lithia Springs High School, Coach Jones' journey is one of mentorship, simplicity, and culture-building. Guided by the lessons of Coach Al, Kyle has poured his life into developing athletes while keeping the focus on what truly matters — relationships, culture, and grace.In this episode:

"People aren't broken," she told me. "Our job is not to fix them. It's to hold them whole and complete." On this episode of On the Brink, I had the privilege of speaking with a remarkable woman whose life journey embodies resilience, reinvention, and the profound power of choosing joy. Nicki Keohohou—bestselling author, award-winning entrepreneur, global speaker, and founder of Coach School—joined me from her home in Hawaii to reflect on the experiences that shaped her, the wisdom she teaches, and the mindset shifts we all need in today's uncertain world. Nicki's path wasn't linear. She began as a teacher helping children build self-esteem and confidence. She later moved into her family's business, then into the world of direct selling, where she discovered her love for helping people grow. That passion evolved into founding the Direct Selling Women's Alliance and ultimately creating Coach School—programs that train leaders, educators, executives, and couples to coach through empathy, inquiry, and empowerment rather than advice-giving. What unifies Nicki's story is a belief that has guided her since childhood: life is abundant, people are capable, and every moment contains a choice. Watch our Podcast here on YouTube: The Power of Coaching: Asking Instead of Telling Nicki admits she wasn't a natural coach at first. Like many leaders, she began by telling people what to do. But she soon realized that the most powerful breakthroughs happen when people discover their own answers. She teaches coaching not just to executives, but to educators, medical professionals, sales teams—and even couples—because the skill of asking empowering questions transforms how people think, communicate, and relate. Her philosophy is simple: When people find their own solutions, they own them. And when they own them, they act. Why We're All Struggling Right Now Nicki works around the world, and she sees what many of us feel: people are more anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain than ever. The economy, politics, global tensions, and constant disruption amplify our sense of helplessness. Her response? A model she teaches called "the bagel." The outer ring—the disempowerment zone—contains everything we cannot control (other people's opinions, world events, the economy, traffic, the past). The center—the empowerment zone—holds what we can control (our thoughts, our choices, our words, our actions, the meaning we assign to events). Most people live on the outer ring. Nicki helps them move to the center. How to Shift Your Mindset (Even in Hard Times) Many of Nicki's insights come from deeply personal experiences—including a devastating fall in Dubai that led to multiple surgeries, months of rehabilitation, and time spent in a nursing home. Instead of asking "Why me?" she asked: "What can I do with this situation?" She coached the staff. She uplifted patients. She even unknowingly taught a woman through the wall who listened to every class and filled an entire notebook with lessons. Her message is clear: You may not choose what happens to you, but you always choose how you respond. Key Takeaways from Nicki Keohohou 1. Happiness is a choice—and a practice. You can always look for what's wrong or what's right. Your mind will believe whichever story you tell it. 2. What you feed your mind at night shapes your next day. Avoid violent TV, tense news, or negative scrolling before bed. Instead ask: What is the best thing that happened today? What am I grateful for? 3. Self-coaching questions can instantly shift your emotional state. Try: How would I prefer to feel right now? What's the opposite of this thought? What do I actually have control over in this moment? 4. Joy compounds when shared. A smile, a kind comment, or a small gesture changes not just someone else's day—it elevates your own. 5. Simplicity reduces stress. Choose calm over drama. Choose presence over pressure. Choose perspective over frustration. Actionable Advice You Can Use Today 1. Start your morning with intention. Ask: What am I excited about today? Whose life can I make better today? 2. Create an accomplishment list—not a to-do list. Shift from obligation to opportunity. 3. Practice the "bagel model." Whenever stress rises, pause and ask: Is this in the empowerment zone? Or the disempowerment zone? If you can't control it—redirect your energy. 4. Adopt the "rain mindset." Instead of "Ugh, it's raining," try: "The rain is feeding my flowers." Reframe, and your brain will follow. 5. Give gratitude away freely. Say thank you. Compliment someone. Share something small. Science tells us that gratitude boosts the giver's happiness even more than the receiver's. Final Thoughts Nicki's story is a radiant reminder that your reality is shaped by the narrative you choose. You can choose joy. You can choose possibility. You can choose to smile at strangers and uplift the people around you. And you can choose to rewrite your story—every morning and every night. As she told me, "Bring joy and give joy. It doesn't cost anything."

As we begin our new series, Pastor Loïs looks at the first Spiritual Discipline of Simplicity. In his message, he looks at Matthew 6:19-33 where Jesus discusses the danger of any attempt of pursuing both God and money. Based on this, Pastor Loïs encourages us to ask “Which treasure?,” “Which vision?,” and “Which master?” directs our hearts. “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (v. 21) The divine solution to the human problem of duplicity is simplicity. Let's "practice saying no to something material for the sake of increasing contentment in God." -Featuring Loïs Renaud

Christanity is not complicated.  It is really simple.  We were lost without Jesus.  We were not doing a great job at life and loving people.  Jesus came, paid the price for our sin, and didn't give us what we did deserve (judgement and separation from Him) and gave us what we didn't deserve (grace and mercy).  Our only action is to submit to Him and allow Him to change us from the inside out.  Done!  Divine simplicity.

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES DOWNLOAD SERMON SUMMARY   SERMON SUMMARY (by OpenAI) Ministry in the Margins: How Small Acts Have Eternal Impact By Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'   1. Introduction: Jesus will separate those who served from those who did not. Dr. Hudson opens with Matthew 25, where Jesus describes the Son of Man returning in glory, separating people like a shepherd divides sheep and goats. This passage reveals how God evaluates lives—not by spectacle or prominence, but by compassionate actions taken toward “the least of these.” Jesus lists personal, human-scale acts: Feeding the hungry Giving drink to the thirsty Welcoming the stranger Clothing the naked Visiting the sick Ministering to the imprisoned The righteous are surprised—they don't remember doing these things for Jesus. But He replies: “Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” This text reveals Christ's heart for people and His identification with the marginalized. 2. Two Levels of Ministry: Macro & Micro Dr. Hudson explains that Jesus operated at two simultaneous levels: A. Macro (Big Picture) The “40,000-foot view” God enthroned in heaven Christ coming in glory with angels The sweeping rule of God over all creation Jesus doing “big things”—miracles, world-changing acts This is the majestic, transcendent dimension of Christ's ministry. B. Micro (Personal & Individual) Jesus noticing one hungry person One thirsty person One stranger One sick or imprisoned person One woman touching His garment One boy with a small lunch The same King who rules the universe also sees individual people in need. "Jesus sees you right where you are.” Christ never stops seeing the person while seeing the big picture. The Problem With People Who Only See Macro Some people only want big, impressive ministry. They become “legends in their own minds.” But without micro-vision—tenderness, compassion, awareness—you cannot truly minister to people.   3. What God Actually Pays Attention To Dr. Hudson stresses that we live in a culture fascinated by entertainment, showmanship, and spectacle. But: God is not impressed with big platforms or big productions. God does not measure greatness the way people do. God pays attention to people and their conditions, especially those who are suffering. Illustration: Prison Ministry Prison ministry strips away props, technology, and fanfare. You can't take your laptop, phone, Apple Watch, or screens. You go in with: A Bible A simple watch Glasses A few notes And Jesus in your heart This is micro-level ministry—core, simple, compassionate. God pays attention to that. 4. A Big God Who Sees and Uses Small Things A. God Sees Small Things Luke 12:6–7 – God cares about sparrows and numbers every hair on your head. Jesus regularly highlights small acts of faith, not big personalities. B. God Uses Small Things Biblical examples: A boy's small lunch (loaves & fishes) Rahab's small but courageous lie to protect the spies David's sling and five smooth stones Samson's donkey's jawbone The woman's touch of Jesus' garment Gideon's 300 soldiers A man loaning Jesus his donkey All small acts. All with massive impact. C. God Uses Simple Things Especially in ministry to the marginalized—juvenile centers, prisons, people at the margins of society. Simplicity reveals Christ most clearly.   5. Ministry in the Margins: The Meaning of “Margins” The sermon uses the metaphor of a book: The text is the main content—where “most people” live. The margin is outside the center—where people feel unseen, unwelcome, or displaced. Some people live in the margins because: Society pushes them there They don't fit expected norms They experience hardship, injustice, or lack They aren't embraced by the “main text” Jesus, however, identifies with people in the margins. He says: “I was hungry… I was thirsty… I was a stranger…” He does not say “they were hungry.” Jesus dignifies the marginalized by identifying with them personally. Christ's Identification With the Marginalized Jesus Himself: Was never literally sick or imprisoned Was never homeless in the modern sense But He chooses to identify with those who are. Why? Because if you are trapped in the same condition yourself, you cannot lift someone else out. He identifies so He can elevate. 6. The Problem in American Christianity Dr. Hudson warns against a version of Christianity obsessed with: Power Privilege Proximity to the wealthy Cultural influence Celebrity preachers “Macro-only ministry” The Gospel calls us back to the heart of Christ—a heart that sees the hungry, thirsty, undocumented, imprisoned, and sick. As his grandfather preached: “You got what you wanted, but lost what you had.” 7. Macro & Micro Together in Scripture Examples: Proverbs 16:9 Macro: A man plans his way Micro: The Lord directs his steps James 2:14 Macro: Faith Micro: Works Both are required. 8. Sheep vs. Goats: A Call to Be a Sheep A. Sheep Characteristics Gentle Stay close together Easily follow the shepherd Respect boundaries Stay where God places them Ready to inherit the kingdom because they've been walking with the King B. Goat Characteristics Wander into danger Break boundaries Independent Do their own thing Resist leadership Not oriented to the flock Self-willed This explains the behavior of many people. C. Why Sheep Inherit the Kingdom Not because God “picked” them that day, but because: They were already aligned with Christ Their lives consistently reflected His compassion Their hearts were shaped by love, not self-service “Be a sheep and not a goat.” 9. Final Exhortation: God's Kingdom Is Love in Action Jesus separates people not by: Religion Church attendance Public image Size of ministry Amount of Bible knowledge But by compassion expressed toward others. Two realities: The unrighteous (goats) face judgment for indifference and self-service. The righteous (sheep) inherit the kingdom because they carry the King's heart. “Faith works through love.” — Galatians 5:6   10. Closing Prayer Themes Gratitude for the Word Correction and reorientation of our attitudes Desire to reflect the compassion of Christ Awareness that God sees even sparrows—and certainly sees us Thankfulness for people who care and serve quietly A commitment to be sheep, not goats A call to draw close to Jesus and His heart for the marginalized One-Sentence Summary This sermon teaches that while God is great and majestic (macro), He pays the closest attention to small, compassionate acts done for people in the margins (micro), and those who consistently walk in such compassion—His “sheep”—are the ones who inherit His kingdom.

Introduction: If you gained everything the world had to offer — comfort, success, wealth, fame — would it satisfy your soul?Solomon did just that. And his conclusion? “It was meaningless.” This raises a serious question: What good is more, if it doesn't lead to something eternal? Problem Statement: We're conditioned to chase more — more income, more upgrades, more lifestyle. But “more” without mission leads to spiritual emptiness. Without purpose, prosperity becomes vanity. God offers us something better: purposeful prosperity, rooted in contentment and eternal impact. Main Points: Success Without Purpose Feeds Emptiness– Ecclesiastes 2:11 – “All of it was meaningless…”– The pursuit of more doesn't fill the soul. Purpose Transforms Possessions into Mission– 1 Timothy 6:18–19 – “Be rich in good deeds… lay up treasure for the coming age.”– Prosperity is meant to be invested in what lasts. Contentment Creates Freedom to Give– Philippians 4:12 – “I have learned the secret of being content…”– Content people give more joyfully and purposefully. Life Applications: Re-evaluate what “more” means in your life.Does it mean mission or just maintenance? Create financial and emotional margin.Simplicity creates space to give, love, and serve. Practice daily gratitude and generosity.They go hand in hand. Reflection Questions: What “more” are you chasing, and why? How does contentment affect your giving habits? Where can your prosperity make an eternal difference Conclusion: More will never be enough if your soul is disconnected from purpose. But when you pursue God's mission with what you've been given, you'll find that “enough” becomes more than enough. Prayer: God of wisdom and abundance, teach us to define success by Your standards, not the world's. Break our addiction to accumulation. Help us see the joy of simplicity and the beauty of contentment. Let our resources serve Your mission and not our egos. Shape our hearts for eternity, and align our lives with Your purpose. Amen.

In this episode of Rational Reminder, Ben Felix, Cameron Passmore, and Ben Wilson return with a classic AMA format—answering listener questions that dig deep into the behavioral and evidence-based foundations of sensible investing. From lump-sum investing to the psychology of advice, the trio blend data, humor, and clear thinking to demystify complex financial ideas. They discuss the behavioral logic behind dollar-cost averaging, why mutual funds might actually be more tax-efficient than ETFs in Canada, and whether technology could ever truly replace human financial advisors. Plus, they share their biggest investing mistakes (yes, Bitcoin makes an appearance), dissect the rise of "buffered" ETFs, and explain why chasing complexity usually costs investors more than it helps. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:05) Introduction – The first episode featuring all three hosts together: Ben Felix, Cameron Passmore, and Ben Wilson. (0:44) OneDigital update: expanding evidence-based advice across Canada with new PWL partners in Halifax. (2:36) The mission in motion – bringing the "markets work and planning matters" philosophy to more Canadians. (5:29) "Finding and funding a good life" – how PWL integrates wellness and happiness into financial planning. (6:16) AMA Question 1: Lump-sum vs. dollar-cost averaging — why lump-sum wins 65% of the time. (10:05) Base rates, behavioral regret, and the real role of an advisor. (12:22) The 2020 PWL paper results and how behavioral hedging fits in. (16:10) If dollar-cost averaging feels safer, maybe your portfolio is too aggressive. (18:08) AMA Question 2: Advice for smaller portfolios — how technology, AI, and fee-only planners can fill the gap. (21:01) Can AI really replace advisors? Cameron's Waymo analogy sparks debate. (23:33) AMA Question 3: Mutual funds vs. ETFs — why in Canada, mutual funds may actually be more tax-efficient. (30:00) The Capital Gains Refund Mechanism (CGRM) explained — and why it matters. (34:31) Dimensional's Canadian funds vs. Vanguard ETFs — tax distribution data that surprises most investors. (37:40) AMA Question 4: Are discount bonds priced for tax efficiency? The evidence says no—discount bonds still win. (42:23) AMA Question 5: Biggest investment mistakes — from Bitcoin regrets to house-buying reflections. (48:15) AMA Question 6: Buffered ETFs — comfort, complexity, and why simple portfolios outperform. (53:45) Simplicity as a superpower — why "markets work" is still the most radical idea in finance. (55:27) AMA Question 7: Updating the RR model portfolio — why there's no "optimal" portfolio and simplicity wins again. (58:31) After show: Reviews, humor, and a reminder about "No Net Worth November." (1:04:15) Life offline — Cameron's reflections on quitting social media and finding clarity.

Even high-net-worth retirees can fall into the trap of financial complexity, with multiple accounts, different advisors, and no clear strategy. In this episode, Joe Curry explains why simplifying your financial life can create more control, smarter tax planning, and greater peace of mind. Learn how coordination, clarity, and a single cohesive plan can strengthen your retirement income strategy.   Key Takeaways Complexity creates confusion and missed opportunities. When investments are scattered across institutions, it's hard to see the big picture — leading to inefficiency and inaction. Diversification isn't about having money with many advisors. Real diversification happens when your investments are coordinated under one structured portfolio that works in harmony. Simplification unlocks smarter tax planning. With a unified view, you can coordinate RRSP, TFSA, and non-registered withdrawals to minimize lifetime taxes and avoid OAS clawbacks. A coordinated plan gives you clarity and confidence. Seeing your full financial picture in one place makes it easier to make decisions and understand how each dollar supports your goals. An advisor helps you stay simple and strategic. A great advisor continually reviews, rebalances, and coordinates your plan — keeping things clear, efficient, and aligned with your life.   Resources YRPS Ep # 134 – Smart Tax Strategies for More Efficient Retirement Planning A previous episode of YRPS that touches on how to build a tax-efficient retirement income plan Book a Call with Matthews + Associates   Thank you for listening!

Dani Dufresne is an Emmy-winning producer and founder of The Aux Co, bringing over a decade of experience cleaning up creative disasters for major brands. In this episode, we explore why beautiful, expensive productions often deliver empty results and how production expertise at the beginning—not the end—of creative development changes everything.Dani's journey from film school to becoming a fractional executive producer reveals a fundamental flaw in how agencies and brands approach creative: they develop the idea first, then figure out how to produce it. This backwards process leads to blown budgets, compromised creative, and campaigns that look stunning but deliver nothing.The Movie Poster Test: If you can't explain your brand message in one sentence, your creative has already failedWhy agencies fail: The fatal flaw of developing creative without production expertise in the roomAI's brutal exposure: How artificial intelligence revealed $25 million in wasted programmatic ad spend from Q2 aloneCommunity vs influencers: Why borrowing audiences through influencer marketing is dying, and authentic community building is the futureThe burnout trap: How being the "problem solver" trains clients to only call you when things breakCinematic storytelling trends: The rise of MOS (music-only) filmmaking and why vintage/Y2K aesthetics signal authenticityFractional production model: How The Aux Co embeds expertise into agency teams without the overheadSimplicity wins: Why attention spans demand one-sentence messaging, not 50-page decksTimestamps:00:00 – Film school journey & production company origins02:47 – Transition from film editing to production work03:32 – Discovering producer role through problem-solving06:24 – Film development to advertising pivot07:36 – Agency vs production company dynamics08:36 – Founding The Aux Co as fractional production team10:50 – Building trust through small wins approach11:32 – Early involvement prevents costly mistakes13:11 – Results-focused creative evaluation14:40 – Longer-form branded entertainment opportunity15:54 – Community building over influencer borrowing17:52 – AI enabling real human connection work18:24 – Programmatic ad waste analysis ($25M Q2)19:28 – Vintage/Y2K aesthetic as authenticity signal21:01 – AI for rapid ideation & creative iteration22:43 – Cinematic storytelling & MOS filmmaking trend26:28 – Simplicity as ultimate creative power29:41 – Attention span decline requiring simple messaging31:33 – Evolution of director vs agency creative roles34:22 – Fractional executive producer model breakdown37:12 – Managing burnout & client selectivity38:23 – Letting go of problem-only clients40:56 – Partner dynamics & production software ventureWe explore the dramatic shift from influencer marketing to community building, the role AI plays in exposing waste and enabling genuine human connection, and why the most powerful creative ideas pass the "movie poster test"—explainable in a single sentence.If your brand message takes more than one sentence to explain, you don't have a creative problem—you have a clarity problem. The best ideas are simple enough to fit on a movie poster, powerful enough to drive results, and honest enough to build real community. Stop developing creative in a vacuum and bring production expertise to the table from day one.Enjoyed this episode? Subscribe to Drop The Mic and leave a review!

The sacred exists not in elaborate structures but in the simple, authentic presence that connects us to the God who dwells in living stones rather than buildings.

In this week's episode of The Power Lounge, host Amy Vaughan welcomes Ilise Benun, acclaimed business coach, author, and founder of Marketing-Mentor.com, for a candid conversation about money, mindset, and marketing for creative professionals. Together they explore why so many talented freelancers and solopreneurs fall into the exhausting cycle of undercharging and overdelivering, and what it truly takes to build a business that reflects both your skill and your value.Ilise shares decades of wisdom on how to reframe pricing from a matter of self-worth to one of clear strategy and confident communication. She offers practical advice on having better money conversations, identifying ideal clients, and setting prices that feel fair to both sides. The discussion is packed with insight, from her signature “$500, $5,000, or $50,000” approach to budget talks, to the mindset shifts needed to escape desperation pricing and cultivate lasting client relationships.Amy and Ilise also dig into the art of consistent marketing, emphasizing that real success comes from showing up regularly and authentically. They discuss the power of simplicity, how to market yourself without making it about you, and why even small, steady efforts can transform your business over time. Whether you're a creative struggling to charge what you're worth or a seasoned professional ready to attract higher-value clients, this episode will challenge how you think about money and remind you that confidence, clarity, and communication are your strongest assets.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Welcome00:29 – Meet Ilise Benun: Guest Introduction01:22 – Ilise's Background & Podcast01:49 – Episode Overview: Pricing, Mindset, and Marketing02:28 – The “Spooky” Topic: Money03:53 – Why Creative Professionals Undervalue Their Work05:21 – The Power of Mindset in Pricing06:02 – Pricing Problems Need Marketing Solutions07:24 – Attracting the Right Clients & Using AI10:10 – Real-World Pricing Stories11:08 – The Importance of the Money Conversation12:31 – Mindset Shifts for Discussing Budgets13:44 – Avoiding Desperation Pricing15:10 – Transparency and Building Client Partnerships16:16 – Value-Based vs. Hourly Pricing17:32 – Common Marketing Mistakes19:58 – The Simplicity of Effective Marketing21:30 – Raising Rates & Upgrading Clients24:28 – Marketing Yourself vs. Marketing a Product27:30 – Power Round & Final AdviceQuotes:“There's this people-pleasing thing we tend to do, especially as women, and it gets all tied up in our so-called self-worth — which doesn't really belong in business. You have to take yourself out of it and look at your pricing objectively. Like I always say, ‘Like me a little less and pay me a little more.'” - Ilise Benun“Awareness is the key. Listen to that internal voice, notice the tone, and remember — just because you think it doesn't make it true. But if you believe in it long enough, you can think it into being true.” - Amy VaughanKey Takeaways:Pricing isn't about self-worth — it's about strategy.Mindset is built on your inner dialogue.Marketing solves pricing problems.Have the money conversation early.Stop people-pleasing your way into poverty.Price communicates value. Low rates often repel serious clients.Consistency beats complexity. Small marketing actions build stronger pipelines.Raise rates through conversation, not confrontation.Let go to level up. You can't grow while holding onto every client.Marketing isn't about you — it's about them. The best promotion focuses on solving your clients' problems, not bragSupport the show

Ever end your day feeling like you should've done more? Like no matter how much you check off your list, there's still this nagging sense that you didn't move the needle enough? Yeah, I've been there. That's the “more disease” that insatiable thirst for more money, more progress, more success, more everything. In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down a stupid-simple system that's helped me and countless entrepreneurs reclaim focus, peace, and productivity without the burnout. Every morning, I grab my journal and write down three things, my Key Three MVTs that, if accomplished, make the day a win. That's it. No complicated apps. No 50-item to-do list. Just three high-impact actions that move the needle in business and life.These tasks fall into the three pillars of business: marketing, sales, and fulfillment. One task per pillar. For example:Something that helps attract new clients (marketing)Something that generates revenue (sales)Something that delivers or improves your service (fulfillment)And here's the kicker, when you nail those three, you can end your day guilt-free. You win the day. You rest easy knowing you moved your mission forward without getting lost in the chaos.Here are a few lessons you'll take away from this episode:Simplicity wins. You don't need 50 priorities; you need clarity on three that matter most.The “more disease” keeps you in a loop of never feeling satisfied — the cure is focus and intention.Pen and paper > productivity apps. There's something deeply satisfying about physically checking off what you've accomplished.Your MVTs should align with your unique genius and the outcomes that create freedom, not just busywork.Working smarter beats working more. Three powerful tasks done daily add up to massive long-term results.The Key Three MVTs system has been a game-changer in my own life. It's how I've been able to run a thriving lifestyle business, work around 20 hours a week, and still enjoy my three freedoms — creative, time, and financial. Because at the end of the day, hustle doesn't have to mean harder. It can mean happier.So, if you're tired of feeling behind, give the key 3 MVTs a shot tomorrow morning. Write them down. Crush them. And celebrate the small wins that lead to big transformation.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
