What if your 11% success rate means you're absolutely crushing it? In this episode, Paul Kirchoff shares how he helps small growth businesses and their leaders accelerate success through EPX Global, a breakthrough AI-centric acceleration platform and ecosystem. As an avid entrepreneur, investor, and global adventurer, Paul is the founder and CEO of EPX Global, where members around the world drive faster business success, max out amazing experiences, and push individual performance to new levels. Paul is also the Founder and CEO of DominoOne, an impact accelerator and crowdsourced problem-solving platform. Paul built two marketing software/agency companies and multi-billion dollar business units at Dell Computer Corporation as an early employee. He's a member of the 113-year-old Explorers Club, DJs electronic music, wrote a corporate thriller novel (giving proceeds to cancer research), and made a film about racism. Paul is developing frontier-level expertise in operationalizing artificial intelligence across the enterprise in every department. Paul reveals two relationships that transformed him in ways nobody has ever answered this question before: a Mongolian eagle hunter he met in the far eastern corner of Mongolia, an older gentleman who had zero knowledge of America, spoke no English, and lived in a yurt with horses and golden eagles as pets, teaching Paul about authentic human connection beyond labels and systems, which became the core culture he built into his technology platform where single moms are valued equally with astronauts; and a police officer who arrested him at 32 after a casual happy hour (though Paul was sober), leading to community service at a center for the deaf and blind where he spent weeks rewinding VHS tapes while listening to thought leaders teach cutting-edge SEO and digital marketing, which gave him the advanced knowledge to start his marketing agency that became successful and sold 13 years later, ultimately leading to his trip to Mongolia and the realization he needed to build EPX Global.   [00:04:00] What Paul Does at EPX Global Tech veteran CEO with many startups, sold companies, shut down companies Early employee at Dell Computer Corporation before anyone in Austin knew who Michael Dell was Built EPX Global as AI-centric ecosystem for small growth businesses and their leaders Heavy artificial intelligence expertise helping companies accelerate success, health, and experiences [00:05:00] Making Everything Go Faster Helps accelerate time to best performance unique to genetics on health side Helps companies accelerate success with AI, connections, and knowledge Makes sure people don't forget to dance under the Milky Way because life is short [00:06:00] Living in Service of Others Used to be financial goals and status symbols when younger, none of that matters now Addicted to a blank sheet of paper, gifted to solve or invent anything Respect for fellow humans (all a unit of one on their own unique journey) Living in service of others by replicating himself with technology [00:07:00] Building a Top Marketing Agency Built and sold one of top demand generation agencies in world Controlled front page of Google, Facebook called asking how they converted traffic Always on cutting edge of deploying technology in marketing (technical + psychology) [00:08:20] AI Systems for Every Business Size Wanted to build AI systems for small businesses (missing factor for 10x resources) Also doing business transformation consulting for billion-dollar companies Helping bigger companies go from where they are to AI-first operations [00:09:20] The 60% Revenue Increase Every Month Networking ecosystem connects people to solutions for health, happiness, business, capital People battling depression got connected to biohacking guys, transformed their lives One client company 60-70% higher revenue every single month with zero change to headcount [00:11:00] Being the X Factor AI systems deployed handle support, become AI salesperson, become AI marketing team Small businesses can grow beyond traditional chains with 10x resources All about being X factor in people's lives or facilitating X factor with someone else [00:14:00] The 11% Success Rate Discovery Expert guest on platform said his success rate is 14% (very successful guy) Paul did the math on his own attempts, came out to 11% success rate Entrepreneurs put enormous pressure on themselves, need different perspective [00:16:00] Trust in an AI World Real meaningful relationships becoming more and more valuable with AI Building networking assistant governed by user (uses your reasoning to find value) Human connection and that magnetic field around our hearts makes us who we are [00:19:40] When Social Media Became Entertainment Facebook, Instagram, TikTok devolved into micro entertainment channels (not networking) Feeds filled with ads and sponsored posts, no actual networking EPX Global has no ads, every connection based on merit of what you want [00:20:20] Photorealistic Fake Content AI video (Sora, Veo) can create photorealistic content that's completely fake Consumer backlash coming for authenticity in connections Business will embrace AI efficiency (hyper-efficient usually wins) [00:23:00] Two People, No Names Never anyone Paul looks up to or admires or wants to be like who affected his life Been blessed to meet incredible people (Pope, Richard Branson's Island, etc.) Two people come to mind that transformed everything Both people Paul has no idea where they are or their names [00:24:20] Far Eastern Mongolia Was entrepreneur working 14 hours a day for decade plus, one-trick pony success Knew needed to desperately change something, chose adventure Took group to far eastern corner of Mongolia to ride horses with eagle hunters Met older gentleman in yurt who had zero knowledge of America or United States [00:25:40] The Man with Golden Eagles Man spoke zero English, wore fox neck tie, had pet golden eagles (40 pounds) Paul realized this is furthest from his life as tech guy (opposite side of life) Both excited to meet each other as new friends with zero in common [00:27:00] Single Moms and Astronauts Brought that spiritualness and core value into network he built Despite super achievers (swimming oceans, skiing Everest, gold medals), none of that matters Single mom raising five good kids might be more impressive than astronaut [00:27:40] The Saturday Night Traffic Stop At 32, coming out of casual happy hour, got pulled over Told officer honestly: "I had two drinks over last hour, I'm clearly fine" Officer said he seemed like nice guy but made him do sobriety test Got arrested and taken downtown (was actually sober, officer kept saying he was nicest person) [00:28:40] Community Service for the Deaf and Blind Offered to do community service to get charge expunged Chose center for deaf and blind, job was rewinding VHS tapes in warehouse Asked supervisor if he could listen to music, supervisor said yes [00:29:20] SEO Lessons in His Ears Instead of music, put in thought leaders teaching SEO and digital marketing For weeks on end, hours a day, learning cutting-edge techniques from pioneers After that, was so advanced in knowledge that led to starting agency Agency became successful and powerful, sold it 13 years later [00:30:00] The Chain of Events If officer hadn't arrested him, wouldn't have had that learning experience Wouldn't have had confidence to start agency that got him burnt out Wouldn't have gone to Mongolia and realized need to build network [00:31:00] In the Canyon Before the Summit At the time was devastated, seemed horrible (younger without perspective) Now incredibly grateful it happened When in the canyon, you're about to go to the summit [00:32:20] When Identity Gets Wrapped Up Greatest risk to mental health is when identity tied to something other than happiness If identity wrapped up in labels (AI whisperer, top guy), devastated when things go wrong Separate identity from accomplishments to stomach any ups and downs [00:38:00] The Leader in the Back AI exercise: meditate on what you look like as future leader Paul's image: crowd moving down valley, Paul in the back (slightly bigger) Leader in back can move crowds (not showing off Maserati or boat) [00:39:00] A Multitude of Miracles However someone gets through life (good/bad parents, heartbreak, etc.) shapes them Everyone made it to this one moment in time (mathematically massive miracle) When you respect everyone like that, you operate without ability to judge or be judged [00:39:40] Operating Without Fear When you don't judge or feel judged, you operate without expectations Without expectations means without fear of future negative ramifications Can be yourself, be present, love everybody, still compete   KEY QUOTES "I did the math and my success rate is like 11%. And I feel like I'm fairly successful, right? I've learned to not really give a shit about what your definition of success is." - Paul Kirchoff "There's zero in common, zero knowledge about each other. And it was one of the most remarkable moments because it shows you this level of connection that's possible when you drop labels and systems and passports and everything else." - Paul Kirchoff "If that guy wouldn't have arrested me, I wouldn't have started an agency, wouldn't have gotten burnt out, wouldn't have gone to Mongolia, and wouldn't be on this call today." - Paul Kirchoff CONNECT WITH PAUL KIRCHOFF

Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the powerful theme of fear from a biblical perspective, specifically tailored for the unique challenges faced by single mothers. Drawing from the first day of the devotional, "Courage to Believe: 21 Day Devotional for Single Moms," we discuss how fear can impact our decisions and how to find peace by trusting in God's promises.Key Takeaways:Acknowledge Your Emotions: Recognizing and naming specific fears (scarcity, rejection, loss) can help you manage your response and create healthy distance from the emotion.Trust vs. Control: Relying on our own strength alone can lead to compromising our values; trusting God means waiting on His timing and provision.The Power of Scriptural Affirmation: Regularly speaking God's promises, such as Isaiah 41:10, can transform your mindset from one of fear to one of peace and strength.God as Your Comforter: Just as a parent comforts a child, God provides real assurance and strength, even when our circumstances feel overwhelming.Episode Breakdown:0:00 - Introduction to the Solo Mom JourneyA warm welcome to the Solo Moms community. We acknowledge the overwhelming nature of fear and introduce the purpose of today's devotional: finding courage in the midst of life's messiest emotions.1:55 - Today's Bible Verse: Isaiah 41:10A focused reading of Isaiah 41:10, highlighting God's promise to be with us, strengthen us, and uphold us with His righteous right hand.2:18 - Illustration: Fear's Impact on Our ChoicesMy personal reflection on how fear—specifically the fear of being unable to provide—can lead to making compromises we wouldn't otherwise choose. We explore the transition from self-reliance to trusting God.3:40 - Biblical Application: God's AssuranceUnderstanding why God tells us "do not be afraid." We discuss God's unique ability to see what's ahead and provide real assurance that humans alone cannot offer.4:36 - Life Application: Managing Real EmotionsA practical look at how to identify and name the specific fears we face daily. This section emphasizes that while our fears may not always be based on reality, our feelings are always real and deserve to be addressed through prayer and patience.6:14 - Self-Reflection QuestionsWhat fear weighs heaviest on me today?Which promise from Isaiah 41:10 speaks most to my current situation?6:44 - Closing PrayerA heartfelt prayer for forgiveness for moments of doubt and a request for the strength to live life fully resting on God's promises.7:14 - Recommended Reading & Daily AffirmationsReading List: Psalm 56:3, 2 Timothy 1:7, Deuteronomy 31:6, Psalm 34:4, and Joshua 1:9.Today's Affirmations: "I am not afraid; God is with me.

Außerdem geht es um ihre persönliche Depriphase, die Herausforderungen dieser Zeit und vor allem darum, wie sie es geschafft hat, ihren Glow, ihre Energie und ihr Selbstbewusstsein Schritt für Schritt zurückzuholen. Eine Folge über Wandel, Selbstbestimmung, Wachstum und die Kraft, sich immer wieder neu zu (er)finden.

Constant exhaustion, burnout, and feeling disconnected from your body aren't just “part of being a single mom.” When you're carrying everything alone, your body eventually speaks up — and this episode is about learning how to listen without shame or overwhelm.In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, hormone practitioner Chelsea McLeod shares how busy moms — especially single mothers — can restore energy, balance hormones, and stop living in survival mode. After leaving a high-pressure corporate career and healing her own gut and hormone imbalances, Chelsea now helps women address the real root causes of fatigue, cravings, poor sleep, and burnout.This conversation isn't about extreme diets, rigid routines, or doing more. It's about simple, sustainable shifts that support hormone balance — like sleep rhythms, nourishment, movement, and emotional regulation — even when life is full and unpredictable.This episode is especially for single parents who feel exhausted, burnt out, or frustrated with their bodies, and want to feel steady, energized, and more like themselves again.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why burnout in single moms is often hormonal, not personal failure• What's really causing constant exhaustion and low energy• Simple habits that support hormone balance without overwhelm• How sleep, food, and movement impact your hormones• Why emotional regulation affects cravings and weight• How consistency — not perfection — leads to healingThis episode is a reminder that you're not broken. Your body is communicating — and with the right support, energy and balance are possible again.

Shame has a way of whispering lies that make us believe we're failing our children. As single moms, we carry burdens that feel too heavy. We wonder if we're enough, if our kids deserve better, or if other families are silently judging our choices.While working on the audiobook version of my Courage to Believe Christian Devotional, Day 7 struck me in a profound way. It addresses that crushing weight of shame we often bear as solo parents, and I knew I had to share this powerful message with you.When Shame Keeps Us IsolatedIn this episode, I share Eva's story. A mom who found herself avoiding other parents just to escape the feeling of being judged. Her experience reveals how shame thrives in isolation, convincing us that we're alone in our struggles. Whether it's the sting of a failed marriage, the pressure of not measuring up at work, or that quiet voice telling us we're not enough, shame tries to define our worth.Eva's story resonates with so many of us because it captures those painful moments when we can't afford the perfect birthday gift, when we see complete families at school events, when we convince ourselves our children deserve a life we can't provide.The Unexpected Surprise God OffersBut here's what I want you to understand: God doesn't see the labels the world tries to put on us, and He doesn't agree with them. The core message of day seven reveals how God offers an unexpected surprise by wiping our slate clean.This episode gives you a sneak peek into the audiobook experience, specifically focusing on how we can address the root cause of shame instead of letting it continue to burden us.What You'll Gain From This Episode:1. Recognition of how shame operates in isolation and affects our daily interactions2. Understanding that your struggles as a single mom are not unique. You're not alone3. Insight into God's perspective on your worth beyond worldly labels4. Hope for breaking free from the cycle of shame and self-doubt5. A glimpse into the transformative message of the full 21-day devotionalIf Eva's story resonates with you, this episode offers the first step in reclaiming your light so your children can see it shine. Remember, you are not defined by your circumstances. You are seen, valued, and loved exactly as you are.Check out our Facebook group.https://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/why-shame-keeps-single-moms-hiding-and-how-god-changes-everythingThis podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Emily went from living the "picture-perfect" life with four kids and a 6,000-square-foot house to nursing her baby in a bankruptcy lawyer's office, only to discover her marriage would crumble under the weight of financial chaos years later. After bankruptcy, a divorce, and her ex-husband becoming homeless, this fierce single mom clawed her way to earning $100K annually while raising kids —completely on her own financially. In a breakthrough moment, she laid bare every bank account to her 16-year-old son, teaching him what "save your money" really means through radical transparency that brought him to tears and transformed his spending habits forever. This is the story every woman needs to hear about breaking free from financial trauma, having the hard money conversations before marriage, and building generational wealth through honest, actionable lessons—not just empty words.

Ashley Du was living on her own and working before she was 15 years old. She got married, had two kids, and got divorced before she was 21. For most, that would be a recipe for a life of struggle and problems, but Ashley turned it around and started her own childcare business in San Francisco, which she has run and grown to a lucrative business for over 13 years (expanding to a 3rd location in San Mateo in 2026)!  We had a great chat, and I am impressed by all she's accomplished and become.

The holiday season can feel particularly isolating when you're raising children alone. If you've been struggling with chronic loneliness or feeling disconnected during what's supposed to be a joyful time, this message is for you.Drawing from personal experiences of abandonment and the emotional aftermath of divorce, I share insights from day three of my Courage to Believe 21-Day Devotional for Single Moms. This isn't just about seasonal sadness. It's about understanding how past wounds of abandonment can resurface and create patterns of isolation that keep us stuck.Many of us carry deep-seated feelings from childhood abandonment, whether through death, divorce, or parents who simply weren't present. These experiences create emotional imprints that can manifest years later, especially during challenging seasons of single motherhood. The sting of divorce adds another layer, regardless of who initiated it, leaving us with feelings of failure and profound loneliness.Breaking Free from Chronic IsolationThere's a crucial difference between healthy solitude for self-care and the dangerous territory of chronic loneliness. When we start avoiding PTA meetings, steering clear of neighborhood connections, or keeping ourselves at arm's length from church groups—not because we're busy, but because we're protecting ourselves from judgment or further hurt—we've crossed into harmful isolation.This self-imposed distance can extend even to our relationship with God, especially when we feel He's abandoned us too. But what if reconnecting could be as simple as asking, "How can I reconnect with you today, Lord?"Practical Steps Toward ConnectionBuilding meaningful connections doesn't require becoming overwhelmed or overcommitted. Whether through church groups, local community organizations, or even online communities, there are ways to create bonds that honor both our need for rest and our desire for authentic relationships.What You'll Gain from This Message:Recognition of how past abandonment affects present lonelinessUnderstanding the difference between healthy solitude and harmful isolationBiblical perspective on God's promise never to leave us orphaned or comfortlessPractical approaches to rebuilding connections without overwhelming yourselfEncouragement that you are worthy of love, friendship, and communityThe scripture foundation comes from John 14:18: "I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you." This promise reminds us that even when earthly relationships fail or disappoint, our Heavenly Father remains constant and present.You deserve good friends, wise counsel, and a community that embraces and empowers you. This season of loneliness doesn't have to define your story—there's hope for connection, healing, and the courage to believe in your worth.Connect with single moms in Solo Moms Connect or Courage To Believe Devotional for Single Moms Facebook Group.Grab your copy of Courage To Believe: 21 Day Devotional for Single Mom: https://amzn.to/3Lb7AZi.
