Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Branson

Tom Gozney hit rock bottom with addiction at 21 and spent nearly a year in a South African rehab facility. What saved him back home wasn't a business plan - it was a brick oven he dug into his garden, because cooking pizza for his friends was the only way he could socialise without alcohol at the centre of it. He noticed something: after a few weeks, people stopped bringing beer and started bringing toppings. That shift in behaviour became the entire thesis of the brand. Fifteen years later, Gozney is valued at over $100 million, did $8.5 million in the first four hours of its Dome launch, and forged the portable pizza oven category from scratch. In this interview, Tom breaks down why he redesigned a fully tooled product weeks before shipping after watching a Steve Jobs documentary, how a synchronised Instagram launch with 30 influencers generated 27,000 signups, and the imposter syndrome that made him underprice his own ovens for years. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why he says he's selling a shift in human behaviour, not hardware or pizza • How he got his first oven sale by leaflet-dropping a restaurant with genuinely terrible branding • The £5K loan from his mum that funded the first fibreglass mould and website • Why he scrapped a fully tooled steel design weeks before shipping - and retooled it in silicone in a month • The Richard Branson exchange that put an oven on Necker Island and fuelled the Rockbox launch • The synchronised 30-influencer Instagram drop that drove 27,000 signups before a single unit shipped • How the Dome launch did $8.5M in four hours, crashed the site, and triggered death threats over a pizza oven • Why going straight to big factories doesn't work before you've proven volume - and how middlemen killed his early margins • How he rebuilt his entire supply chain by recruiting a board and COO who'd done it in outdoor grilling • Why imposter syndrome made him underprice for years - and what finally gave him conviction to charge premium If you're building a physical product brand, wrestling with manufacturing and margins you don't yet understand, or scared to price for the value you've actually built, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about brand, product obsession, and building something bigger than yourself.

Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS Shoes in 2006 after a trip to Argentina, where he saw children without shoes and built a company around giving away a pair for every pair sold. TOMS went on to donate more than 100 million pairs of shoes and became one of the most copied business models in the world. What most people don't know is what happened after he sold it, and I'm grateful that he was open to talking about that on this episode of The Learning Leader Show. Key Learnings Make your gratitude specific. Not "I'm grateful for my family." Name the exact thing. Blake's example from that morning: the photos the camp posted of his daughter laughing in the lake, and knowing his stoic kid does not smile like that unless she is genuinely happy. He kept the practice going for five years when he couldn't feel any of it. Blake could not name five things he was grateful for, and he had all the same things in his life he has now. He did it anyway. He credits it as one of the things that kept him going. Surfing is a great thinking practice. Surfing is mostly just sitting on the board. Three hours in the water, ten waves, maybe five minutes standing. The rest is paddling and sitting. That's why it works as a thinking practice. Capture the idea in the moment or lose it. Blake programmed the side button on his Apple Watch to open a voice memo. Every idea he has sitting on the board, he records. They're all waiting when he gets out. He hit every marker and still felt worthless. "I did everything, and I still, deep down in my soul, had this feeling like I'm not worthy, I'm not enough, and I never will be." The external validation was the drug. Selling TOMS cut off the supply. The thing that had been holding up his sense of self was suddenly gone. If you get there and it's empty, don't panic. Panicking is what Blake did, and having money meant he could make expensive mistakes fast. Build the dream house. Get divorced. One thing after another. The emptiness may be the point. Blake's read on it: if achievement delivered what society promises, you'd never go inward. Feeling hollow at the summit is what forces the inner work. He re-patterned the sentence he'd been telling himself since childhood. The old one was "you're not enough." He replaced it with "I am enough. I've always been enough." Twenty minutes every morning and every evening. Forty straight days. It worked, and he no longer needs to do it daily. Sometimes you just need a physical cue to catch the loop. That's the whole idea behind the bracelet he wears. Not magic. A reminder on your wrist that interrupts the thought. Give the second one away. Blake found the bracelet's real power was handing one to a friend. Now you're both wearing it, you're both in on it, and there's an unspoken agreement that neither of you has to have a bad day alone. Men are worse at building that than women are. Tell your kids they're enough, and keep telling them. They're going to get the opposite message from everywhere else, which is exactly why it has to come from you repeatedly. Blake says the relaxation you'll see in them is immediate. Be brutally honest about how hard the job is. Try to talk them out of it. Blake is the last interview in the process now. If he can lay out every negative and they still desperately want it, the commitment is real. "How many people did you convince not to take the role before you got the right person?" Most leaders slip into sales mode, talk the candidate into it, and end up talking themselves into the candidate. What he screens for during the interview process: Integrity first. If it isn't there, it surfaces fast now. Attitude second. The person who never says "that's not my job." Whether they're building a resume or joining a movement. Find the people who cover what you're bad at. Blake is a storyteller, a vision-sharer, and high energy. He is not a supply chain guy, not a finance guy, and he has trouble saying no. So he hired around it. That's what let him actually be the chief shoe giver instead of pretending to be a CEO. Don't wait for permission. Most people stand in line at the front door. Blake looks for side doors. In Argentina he had no investors and no plan, just an idea and the words One For One. Ryan's version for his kids: everyone can apply online. Drive to the restaurant and go talk to the manager instead. Having no experience was the advantage. He'd never made a shoe, so he didn't know which rules he was breaking. Same with outdoor advertising. Same with driver's ed. He learned it from Richard Branson: ask forgiveness, not permission. Nashville wouldn't allow advertising, so he sold art instead. Blake spent two years with the city council and got there by removing the ad from the ad. No price, no call to action. Just album covers on the sides of buildings, called country music art. Once one artist had one, they all wanted one. He sold the company to Clear Channel. You don't attract what you want. You attract what you are. Want honest friends, be honest. Want peace at home, bring peace. Want trust, practice it when nobody's watching. Blake applies it to customers too: sloppy companies attract sloppy customers, and that's usually the real reason the business fails. Charlie Munger got asked how to get a great wife. He said: deserve one. Be known for doing what you said you'd do. Early on Blake didn't have the skills, so he built the reputation on execution instead. Move fast, keep it simple, do it with integrity. Momentum is a form of trust. The other half of that is not overpromising. Blake's own failure mode is getting excited, feeling falsely confident, promising something big, and missing. When it happens, own it fast and be honest, and the relationship usually survives. Be careful using a general-purpose chatbot as a therapist. Blake's warning, and the reason the founders of Sonia built a purpose-built tool instead: the big consumer models are designed to make you feel good about yourself. If you need to hear something hard, that's the last thing you want. He went from skeptic to advisor in six months. Blake met the Sonia founders at a mental health conference, tried the app to be polite, and by the third session was getting insights he hadn't gotten elsewhere. He now spends five to ten hours a week helping them. His reason for loving the work: "Now I get to be the coach instead of the athlete." Stop chasing balance. Design for harmony. Blake picked this up from an executive at Cannes who said she'd given up on balance. He goes hard in phases. Full dad mode with the office waiting on emails. Then all in on a launch and missing things at home. The measure isn't evenly split day to day. It's whether, over a year, everyone in his life feels like they got what they needed to thrive. Including him. Reflection Questions What did you actually feel grateful for today? Not the category. The specific moment. What is the sentence you've been repeating to yourself since childhood, and is it true? In your last hire, how hard did you try to talk them out of it? Or did you spend the interview selling them, and then sell yourself? More Learning #598: Sam Parr - Bold. Fast. Fun.

Ilana Golan knows what it feels like to lose everything. After climbing from the Air Force to Intel to VP in a Silicon Valley startup, she thought she had made it. But when a trusted co-founder cut her out of their new business overnight, she was left with nothing. No job, no company, no income, and a shattered ego. That collapse became the turning point, forcing Ilana to ask who she was without the titles and what kind of life she truly wanted to build. In this episode, Ilana breaks down the five shifts you need to reinvent your career and the blueprint she used to bounce back from failure, build one of the fastest-growing startups, and land opportunities with leaders like Richard Branson and GaryVee.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stepped down from his position as the company's CEO to focus on other projects. He'll remain executive chairman at Amazon but now wants to dedicate more time to other projects, including his space tourism company Blue Origin.  Following that surprise announcement, British business magnate Richard Branson also declared his desire to go into space with his company Virgin Galactic. Some have labelled these developments as a new dawn for space tourism. So who's earning bragging rights in the billionaires' space race?How long has space tourism been around?

I get this all the time. DMs, emails, some version of "hey Nathan, can I pick your brain?" And I get it, the intention is good. But here is what that message actually says to the person receiving it: I want your most valuable asset, your time, and I am going to give you nothing in return. Here is the thing: I grew up in the suburbs with zero entrepreneurial connections. No successful friends, no business-owning parents, no network to speak of. Every single room I have ever been in, I built my way into from nothing. And the principle that made it possible is stupidly simple. In this episode, I share the serve first, ask later framework and walk through exactly how I used it to land interviews with Richard Branson four months into building Foundr, connect with Gary Vee, Mark Cuban, and Arianna Huffington, and build a network that has carried me through some of the hardest seasons of my career. Here's what you'll take away: Why "can I pick your brain?" is broken and what it signals to the person on the other end The one question that should drive every networking interaction: how can I genuinely help this person and expect nothing in return How framing the ask around someone's mission, not your need, is what got Richard Branson to say yes to a four month old magazine The actual playbook for building from zero: how to figure out your currency, find the right person, and reach out with a specific offer tied to what they are working on right now Why stopping putting successful people on a pedestal is the mindset shift that changes how every conversation starts Why you need both peers and mentors in your network and what each one does for you that the other cannot If you have been waiting until you have more followers, a bigger platform, or something impressive to show before reaching out to people you want to learn from, this episode will show you that you already have more to offer than you think.

What does it really take to go from broke to becoming a self-made millionaire by the age of 27?In this episode of The Raygacy Show, I sit down with internationally renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, mentor, and bestselling author John Lee.Over the last two decades, John has built multiple seven-figure businesses, generated wealth through multiple streams of income, invested in high-growth technology and Web 3.0 companies, and helped entrepreneurs, CEOs, professional athletes, and celebrities scale their businesses and grow their wealth.We dive deep into:

As part of our Best of the Known Legacy Podcast series, we're revisiting one of our most fascinating conversations—Episode 244 with Geoff Barker. Geoff spent years at the top of his profession, training world-class athletes, celebrities, and elite performers. He even found himself in the spotlight as one of Australia's iconic Gladiators. From the outside, he appeared to have everything—success, recognition, and influence. But deep inside, he knew something was still missing. In this powerful episode, Geoff shares the incredible journey that led him to walk away from everything he had built and spend seven years searching for the truth.

Are You Writing It Down? How much of your life will you actually remember? In this episode, Shaun explores the value of writing down your experiences—not because every thought needs to be profound, but because life moves quickly and memories fade. Journaling allows you to preserve the details, emotions and everyday moments that give your life color. It also gives you an opportunity to revisit former versions of yourself, recognize your growth and identify patterns you may otherwise miss. You don't need to write every day or wait until you have something important to say. Start with what happened this week, how you felt and what you would like to change. The page doesn't need you to be impressive. It only needs you to be honest. Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Are you writing it down? 01:05 – Why journaling doesn't need to be profound 02:38 – Creating a record of your life 04:24 – How quickly weeks, months and years disappear 06:13 – Writing brings color back to the past 07:54 – Meeting former versions of yourself 09:42 – Recognizing growth, repeated mistakes and personal patterns 11:21 – Why Shaun wishes he had started writing earlier 12:48 – You don't need to journal every day 13:48 – Richard Branson's lifelong habit of taking notes 14:35 – What to write when you don't know what to say 15:31 – Leaving yourself evidence of how far you've come 16:08 – Final question: Are you writing it down? Key Takeaways Journaling can simply mean documenting what is happening in your life. Writing preserves details and emotions that memory eventually loses. Old entries can reveal how much you have grown—or where you remain stuck. Repeated thoughts and feelings can help you identify patterns. You don't need to write every day for the practice to be valuable. Honesty is more important than trying to sound profound. Your journal becomes evidence of the challenges you have overcome and the progress you have made. Reflection Questions What happened in your life this week? How did you feel while it was happening? What patterns keep appearing in your relationships, work or daily routines? What are you currently hoping will change? What would a future version of you want to remember about this season? Your life is happening faster than you think. Are you writing it down? www.CallTSG.com www.BusinessFinanceAndSoul.com 

Pat Byrne explains why great businesses fail when leaders stop challenging themselves, why resilience matters more than avoiding failure, and how CityJet evolved from a small challenger airline into one of Europe's leading regional aviation operators.Pat Byrne joins Business Builders to share the story of founding CityJet, transforming it from a startup airline challenging the Dublin–London monopoly into an international aviation business that grew to operate almost 50 aircraft across Europe through innovative wet leasing partnerships with some of the world's largest airlines.Pat reflects on building and selling multiple businesses over a career spanning more than five decades, including Cornmarket and CityJet, recounts how a cold call to Richard Branson led to a partnership with Virgin, and explains why the biggest breakthroughs often come from challenging conventional thinking. He also discusses surviving constant crises in aviation, overcoming failure, building customer relationships instead of transactions, creating high-performing teams, avoiding the dangers of groupthink, and why the most successful founders never stop transforming themselves or their businesses.This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, aviation, leadership, resilience, transformation, business strategy, innovation, customer experience, scaling, organisational culture, founder mindset, sales, marketing, change management, and building businesses that can survive constant uncertainty."The real risk is not being prepared to take one."

Most people would never walk away from a secure, high-paying career.Piers Linney did exactly that.In this Founder Classic, Piers shares why he left investment banking to become an entrepreneur, how Richard Branson influenced one of the biggest decisions of his life, and why backing yourself is often the hardest—but most rewarding—decision you'll ever make

In this episode, we sit down with Garrett Gunderson, entrepreneur, financial educator, and bestselling author of Money Unmasked and Killing Sacred Cows 2.0, to challenge some of the most common beliefs about money and wealth creation… For more than 25 years, Garrett has helped business owners and entrepreneurs rethink traditional financial advice, showing them how to increase cash flow, reduce financial inefficiencies, and build lasting wealth without sacrificing the life they want to live today. Known for his unconventional approach to personal finance, Garrett encourages people to move beyond outdated financial rules by focusing on increasing their value, protecting what they earn, and making intentional financial decisions rather than relying solely on conventional investing strategies. This conversation explores: The biggest financial myths that prevent people from building wealth. Why earning more can often be more impactful than simply cutting expenses. How taxes, interest, fees, and financial inefficiencies quietly reduce long-term wealth. The importance of cash flow and financial flexibility. Garrett is the author of ten books on personal finance and entrepreneurship, and has had work published in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and more. His insights have been endorsed by leading financial and business authors, and he has shared the stage with influential speakers including the Dalai Lama, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and Robert Kiyosaki. Through his books, speaking engagements, and educational programs, Garrett continues to help individuals rethink their relationship with money and build wealth on their own terms.

How would your life change if every setback wasn't blocking your path—but redirecting it? A devastating warehouse fire. Years of uncertainty. A company that nearly didn't survive.

What if the smartest move you make with AI isn't learning it, but getting it to learn you? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, Moses Mederos and Jason Yeh take the stage together during our AI Masterclass Workshop, and they hand the room something rare, a real system you can build today instead of another theory to file away. Moses and Jason are the founders of Scaling Freedom, and between the two of them they have spent over twenty years inside large tech companies watching software promise to do everything and then quietly asking businesses to bend themselves around its limits. They started Scaling Freedom because they believe AI should do the opposite. It should adapt to you, your values, your team, and the way you already run things. Jason has two boys, Moses has three kids, and both of them built this company around one goal, helping entrepreneurs buy back time with their families instead of losing it the way their own dads did. This episode matters because most people think using AI well means learning better prompts. Moses and Jason flip that idea on its head. Their whole philosophy is stop learning AI, get AI to learn you. Jason traces the idea back to a call from his own father, still working in his seventies and asking if he should finally learn this AI thing. Jason's answer was no. Feed it your context instead. Feed it your goals, your team, your calendar, your business, and let it build around that. They walk the room through five systems every founder should have running in the background. It starts with a second brain, which sounds fancier than it is. It is just files and folders that give AI real context about your life and your business. From there it moves to a daily briefing, which they call the first real eyes light up moment for their clients. Then it scales into meeting prep, meeting follow up, and finally the holy grail, promoting your AI from executive assistant to chief of staff, capable of delegating not just to other AI agents but to your actual human team. The daily briefing gets the most airtime, and for good reason. Jason paints a picture of a guy named Marcus who wakes up at six, scrolls his phone, forgets a warm referral by nine, lets a hot lead go cold by eleven, walks into a two o'clock call unprepared, and ends the night exhausted without ever feeling present with his own kids. That is what life looks like without a system. With one, your AI is already surfacing your top three priorities before you brush your teeth, and Jason's hot tip is simple. Ask it one more question every single day. Based on everything you just told me, what is one thing you can take off my plate. That single prompt turns a passive assistant into a proactive one. They also warn against the trap of doing too much too fast. Cram every tool and integration into your daily brief on day one and it starts reading like a novel, and a novel is the fastest way to stop opening it altogether. Start lean, give it feedback, and let it grow with you. Then things get personal. Jason shares that a year and a half ago he got laid off right before Christmas after two decades in enterprise tech. Walking in the woods with his kids that same week, he realized something his corporate friends still text him about today. We are entering the age of the free agent, he says, one person, sometimes one family, building seven and eight figure companies because the tools finally exist to make that possible. He does not want to repeat his father's pattern of flying around the country and missing the moments that mattered. That is the real reason Scaling Freedom exists. I even hopped in to show the room my own daily brief, built from the collected wisdom of mentors I respect, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, John Maxwell, and Dan Martel, feeding me priorities and keeping me honest every single morning at seven. If you are running a business and still treating AI like a search engine instead of a teammate, this episode will shift how you think about it completely. Go listen to the full conversation at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/ and start building your own daily brief this week. Future you will thank you for it.

Welcome to Episode 162 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing Welcome to Episode #162 of “Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing” In this episode, I’m talking about the “Weekly Business Consistency Plan” I created with ChatGPT recently. If you email me at conniegreenhouse@yahoo.com, I am happy to send you the share link for this training. Concistency is the primary reason that people are not successful in their endeavors in just about any area you can think of. I dealt with this as well when I came online as an entrepreneur. Please email me at the address above and I will send you the link for the “Weekly Business Consistency Plan” so you may get started right away. I am sharing a live session of my “Really Simple Authority Blogging” ongoing training course with you and know you will benefit from the marketing strategies I am sharing and teaching here. Be sure to connect with me at https://ConnieRagenGreen.com or on X at https://x.com/ConnieGreen so I may serve you in the areas where my help could make a huge difference in your results. I’m going to share with you how much fun I’m having with creating simple courses using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in about 30 minutes. I know you can do the same thing. Keep it simple, and add the short course you create to a page on your existing website/blog. In this episode I’m discussing how to use keywords and search engine optimization (SEO) to grow your business. Your prospects and future clients, customers, and colleagues are waiting to connect with you, but if they can’t find you online it will never happen. Make it simple for your target audience to find you by using the keywords and phrases they are most likely to be searching for on Google, Bing, and the other search engines. The Power and Gift of Change”- We are all changing throughout each day, and I think we must embrace this change in order to grow and move forward. Changing can take many forms, and if you look back through your life you will come to understand that you are not the same person you were even a year ago. Here is a quote about this you may resonate with… “Growth lives outside the comfort zone. If it feels uncomfortable, you’re probably doing it right.” ~ Marie Forleo I believe that our businesses are based on the concept of serving others. When you start on online (or even a brick and mortar) business, your goal is to serve others with what you know and to benefit in multiple ways, including by earning an excellent income. I’m sharing several examples in this podcast about my own and experiences with clients over the years. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This morning I was reading the message written by outgoing Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. In it, he stated that his “parting prescription” for the American people is to cultivate a strong sense of community to help themselves and others. He added, “Relationships, service, and purpose are the time-tested triad of fulfillment that stands in contrast to wealth, fame, and power which define the modern-day triad of success.” Here are some other questions I want you to ask yourself: What is your commitment to yourself and to others close to you? Why are you focused on the things that are taking up your time? When will you begin to focus on goals that will allow you to create and leave a legacy? Whom do you trust to get you there? Perhaps my “Monthly Mentoring Program” is right for you. Motivation and Inspiration: What It Takes to Get Your Spark Back” During 2024 I went through a period where I wasn’t as motivated as I had been accustomed to being for many years. This gave me time to explore why I was feeling this way and to hopefully learn something that would help others. My inspiration to do all of the things I love in my business, including writing, creating, marketing, and mentoring was waning and I wasn’t sure why. Within a couple of months I was back on track and this is what I learned… Life isn’t easy, but then it isn’t supposed to be. Being challenged in so many ways on a regular basis makes us stronger and perhaps more appreciative and grateful for what we already have and what we know we can achieve if we believe in ourselves and have even one other person who knows we are special and tells us that as often as possible. Marie Forleo wrote a book titled “Everything Is Figureoutable” – https://ConnieLoves.me/FigureOutAble – Her precept is that if you’re having trouble solving a problem or reaching a dream, the problem isn’t you. It’s that you haven’t yet installed the one belief that changes everything. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com and want to hear from you on this topic, or on anything else. “Merging Your Life with Your Business” as a strategy. We aren’t creating a business we need a vacation from. Instead, we’re creating a “lifestyle by design” where we have the time and financial freedom to live in a way that few people are able to, and with choices around everything we do. If you’ve met me in person, heard me on my podcast, or read any of my books, you know that I am a very positive person. No matter what situation or circumstances arises, I truly believe there will always be a positive outcome on the horizon, and sooner rather than later. But I wasn’t always this way. This is a journey that continues… My first year online was 2006, and very quickly I connected with people I’m still part of a Mastermind with in Austin, Texas. I was invited to speak at an event there a couple of years later. It was hosted by Joe Vitale and Mendhi Audlin was also there. She shared a concept she had come up with that she calls “What If… UP!” The premise is that there is truly a silver lining in everything negative that occurs. I liken this to Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. My precept and general rule for life is that we can achieve anything we want and feel that we deserve. Others want to help us to achieve our goals, but many times we get in their way by telling ourselves stories that aren’t true. Mendhi’s precept aligns with mine, and a year or so after I first met her she published a book on this… “What If It All Goes Right?: Creating a New World of Peace, Prosperity & Possibility” by Mendhi Audlin reveals the secret to turning possibilities into a tangible reality. It works! https://ConnieLoves.me/WhatIfUp I’m discussing the importance of being willing to “Better Your Best” during this new year, as well as recommending that this be the year you finally embrace AI – Artificial Intelligence – for your business. I have been a student of and someone who uses AI almost daily since February of 2022, and I’m learning from experts Andy O”Bryan and Denise Wakeman in their ongoing AI Success Club. Asking “How Are You Defining Success?” Creating a business as an entrepreneur allows you to live a lifestyle by design, with both time freedom and financial freedom. Think about how you want to live each day and then take action to make it happen. Over the years I’ve changed many things, while others have remained the same. Instead of making changes just for the sake of change, think about what you could change up and what makes sense to remain at least mostly the same. Years ago, I used to put together my blog posts on a single topic, like copywriting or list building or creation digital products into a simple document that I referred to as a ‘Focus Guide’ and gave them away to my list and to my prospects. Each of these documents contained resources and an ‘About the Author’ page that helped me to build my credibility, visibility, and profitability. For the first time ever, I am recommending that you write a book about yourself, your niche topic, and how you serve others. I first did this in 2009 and now I have written and published twenty-eight full-length, non-fiction books on the topics of entrepreneurship, personal, development, and authorship. Life can be messy. Are their ways you can keep moving forward when your personal life is turning upside down? Yes! Finding joy in helping and serving others, as well as compartmentalizing what is currently going on in your life are just two of the ways to deal with change and situations outside of your control. I recommend that you choose two social media platforms to use for the sole purpose of helping your prospects find and connect with you online. My favorite is X – formerly known as Twitter, and I also use LinkedIn and YouTube as my favorite social media sites to grow my business. Please connect with me on these sites and let me know how I may best serve you as you build and grow your profitable business. Is your list of what you are willing to do longer than your list of what you don’t want to do? I recommend a mile-long “to-do” list and a daily schedule of no more than four things that you will work on each day in your business. Find a mentor who believes in you and get started with creating a lifestyle by design that you want and deserve. I’m recommending James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” – https://ConnieLoves.me/AtomicHabits – as a book to help you alleviate your fears. We all have hopes, dreams, goals, and fears regarding our life experiences. I have found that if we build up our confidence and have faith that everything will turn out in a way that will be beneficial to all, we can continue to move forward without negative effects. Having an online business requires confidence. These are some questions to ask yourself: Who will you serve? What are your prospects pain points? What’s your idea? How will it be created, and then delivered? How will you sell it online? Creating a simple product or online course is the beginning of living a lifestyle by design. Reach out to me any time at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you’d like to know more about getting started as an online entrepreneur. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My first online course back in 2006 was a simple one with three audio trainings and a workbook. Then, I began creating more sophisticated, but not more complicated courses. I’ve used the “Really Simple” branding for many courses at least 25 times, as well as using other terms and phrases based on the keywords I am optimizing for with each new course. Having your own online course on a topic you want to become known for will give you leverage to grow your business exponentially over time. It’s interesting to me that we as humans sometimes take things for granted that later on we know we should have appreciated in the moment. What I’m referring to here is having an online business you can run from home, or from anywhere in the world. There’s a window of opportunity that isn’t always open, and right now this window is wide open to everyone. A lot of it depends upon economic factors. I almost went back to graduate school two years ago to study economics, but decided against it because of the film and television writing I’m pursuing, but that’s a story for another time. Someone I work closely with had posted this quote from Richard Branson the other day: “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” This does NOT apply to online business, but instead refers to starting a physical, brick and mortar business. I know several people in both of my cities who borrowed against their homes, cashed out retirement savings, and sold family heirlooms to start businesses in the community, only to go bankrupt a couple of years later. What I’m saying here is that this is the time to get your online business off the ground and up and running profitably. It’s so inexpensive in comparison, and the biggest expense I incur is what I pay mentors to guide me in the right direction. Yes, I still have a mentor and recommend you do as well. This isn’t coaching, but instead a personal relationship you’ll build over time that could lead to strategic alliance partnerships and lifelong friendships. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you want to know more about mentoring with me. The four widely accepted learning modalities (or modes) are known by the acronym VARK: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic. They are sometimes inaccurately referred to as “learning styles” which implies that each learner has a “style” of learning that should be maximized in all learning situations. Focusing on consistency, productivity, and creativity makes sense for all online entrepreneurs in 2024. I’m also sharing some effective and time-proven strategies with you here that will make a difference in your business, as well as in your personal life experience. Each day I focus on writing, creating, marketing, and teaching/learning/mentoring. My writing began as short and simple blog posts and blossomed into more than twenty-five full-length books. My writing is my oeuvre, my body of work that is my legacy to family, friends, colleagues, and those who follow me. During 2023 I wrote and published more than 400 thousand words. This breaks down to one full-length book, Self-Directed: Inspire, Motivate, and Empower Yourself to the Greatness That Lies Within; the current book on marketing that is more than halfway written; 8 short reports on topics of interest to the people I work with online; one hundred thirty-eight blog posts on three different blogs I maintain; and 382 email messages to my online community. These are  practical strategies for effective time management, emphasizing the importance of creating a balance between work and personal life. Achieving work-life harmony requires effective time management strategies that allow you to balance professional and personal responsibilities. Here are some strategies to help you manage your time more efficiently: 1. Set Clear Priorities: Identify your most important tasks and priorities for both work and personal life. Focus on what truly matters and allocate time accordingly. 2. Use a Time Management System: Choose a time management system that works for you, whether it’s a digital tool like Todoist or Trello, or a physical planner. Organize tasks, set deadlines, and track your progress. Schedules vs To-Do Lists 3. Prioritize Tasks with the Eisenhower Matrix: Categorize tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. Prioritize tasks based on these categories. 4. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together and tackle them during specific time blocks. This reduces the mental load of switching between different types of activities. 5. Time Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time to different activities. This includes work tasks, personal commitments, and breaks. Stick to the schedule as much as possible. 6. Learn to Say No: Be selective about taking on new commitments. Saying no when necessary helps you avoid over-committing and allows you to focus on your existing priorities. 7. Delegate When Possible: Delegate tasks that others can handle. This applies to both professional and personal responsibilities. It’s okay to ask for help. 8. Practice the Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming. 9. Limit Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can reduce efficiency and increase stress. Complete one task before moving on to the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You’re starting a conversation with your emails, and building a relationship with your prospects, customers, and clients over time. I’ve been online as an entrepreneur, marketer, and writer since 2006, and while much has changed, I believe that more has remained the same. Here, I’m discussing how we marketed in those early days, and why email marketing still remains top of mind. Most recently, I’ve co-hosted an Advanced Email Marketing Conference with Ellen Finkelstein. In April of 2023, I hosted my latest live marketing event in Los Angeles, and more recently I’ve hosted my Santa Barbara Retreat for those I mentor and teach. But like everyone else, I began by attending live events, and eventually virtual events in order to find my voice, connect with other like-minded people, and learn more about building and growing my online business. Guerilla marketing is a way to drive publicity and, as a result, brand awareness by promoting using unconventional methods designed to evoke surprise, wonder, or shock. Guerrilla marketing is the creating use of novel or unconventional methods in order to boost sales or attract interest in a brand or business. These methods are often low- or no-cost and involve the widespread use of more personal interactions or through viral social media messaging. This marketing method has increased in popularity with the rise of ubiquitous mobile and connected technologies that can amplify messaging and focus on target groups of consumers. Some consumers may be more attracted by guerrilla marketing campaigns as they may be more interesting and daring, while others may be turned off because of the perceived “disruptive” aspects of this style of marketing.

I’ve been online since 2006 and now help others all over the world to do the same or something similar. We all have times where we are feeling a little down, lost, or confused. Life isn’t easy, and no one makes it out alive! These are my recommendations for how to get back on track and feeling more happy and optimistic about your future… Write! Whether you’re already a writer or are just beginning to think about sharing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others, writing makes sense. I write every single day and publish much of my writing as blog posts, short reports, and full-length books. Writing opens your mind to what you want in the future, by allowing you to explore the past through your memories. You can also retell and reframe your stories in a way that will serve you going forward. Start a new project! I usually create products and courses as new projects, but this can also manifest as something you build or create with your hands. I have family members on two continents that love to put together complex jigsaw puzzles. They look forward to these as a new project on a regular basis. Volunteer! Before I started my online business, I promised myself I would volunteer my time and donate money to charitable causes… as soon as I had the time and the money to do so. Once I had my own business, I realized that I had some time and a little money to do this all along. Spend time with new people! As a part of the volunteering I now do regularly, I’ve spent time with very young children, veterans, women starting over after being in a domestic violence situation, and more. This work continues to make a difference in my life. As you can see, there are many ways to get back to your “Why?” and I hope this has been helpful to you. What’s the best niche topic to cover in your blog? I know you don’t what to hear me say “It depends.” so I won’t. Lean in, and I’ll share the very best niche for you, and it’s one that is also the most profitable, will feel more like you’re just having fun, will never go out of style, and will be the one that has absolutely zero competition. Which niche topic and target audience could it possibly be? I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I learned when I began online 17 years ago that the best niche for anyone is the one that makes your heart sing and is probably a topic you take for granted. I had been teaching school for twenty years and my students were mostly Spanish and Tagalog native speakers. I told them if they wrote just a few sentences every single day – weekends, holidays, and school breaks included – their writing would improve. Those who followed my advice excelled, while those who didn’t floundered. During all those years, I seldom wrote anything unless it was required for my work as a teacher or for my part-time work in real estate. Fast forward to 2006, and I realized not only that I needed to write in order to succeed online, but also that what I’d done with my students would apply here as well. My niche for the next eighteen months was around helping others to write, publish, market, and sell eBooks. I wrote one on real estate farming – choosing and area close to home to connect with people who may need your services – as an example and sold it on my website. Back then, you had to sell eBooks on your own websites, as Amazon had not yet entered the world of self-publishing. My niche and website became “eBook writing and marketing secrets” and this topic took me to six figures. I was learning right along with the people who were learning and buying from me. I then moved that site over to https://ConnieRagenGreen.com to make a name for myself and to branch out to other topics. The bottom line is that you must begin by sharing what you already know something about and love. Blogging is the direct path to the visibility, credibility, and profitability you wish to have in your business. In my business, every idea begins as a blog post. This is where I think and research and brainstorm what’s on my mind in the very beginning. The blog post is ground zero for what could, and many times does become a product, course or program. Blog posts, while based on your idea, can be created with original content, private label (PLR) rights content, guest content, or curated content. While I immediately share my published posts on social media as “micro content” you’ll want to wait at least 24 hours before syndicating your content on Medium. I also teach this syndication strategy in my popular and ongoing Syndication Optimization training program. Next up in your content creation and content marketing strategy is a short report, which you may sell online or give away as a lead magnet. I teach all of this in my Really Simple Short Reports training. This is what we refer to as “cornerstone” content that is extremely valuable. The final step is creating “authority content” by publishing your writing as a Kindle or paperback book to increase your visibility and build your reputation as an expert on your topic. I typically discuss time management and productivity in regards to entrepreneurs, marketers, and authors, and I’ve even co-authored a bestselling book on this topic, entitled “Time Management Strategies for Entrepreneurs: How to Manage Your Time to Increase Your Bottom Line” where we outline in great details the steps you may take to reach a level of optimal productivity and time management as an entrepreneur. But what about everyone else? Doesn’t every person deserve to live the lifestyle they want and deserve, where they enjoy financial freedom and the time to enjoy every moment to the fullest? Of course they do, and that’s what I’m sharing during this podcast. When I began online as a new entrepreneur in 2006, I realized immediately I would need help with technology and graphics, as these were the areas where I had no experience or talent. I bartered for these services for the first year or so, and then began to put together a team of people to support me so my business could grow. When I look back over my lifetime, I see that I have always had a team supporting me, whether it was while I worked as a classroom teacher, or in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser. Even while I was growing up, I was surrounded by people who supported me, from family, friends and neighbors to teachers, clergy, and people in the community. Put together your team and watch your business grow exponentially! When it comes to your visibility as an entrepreneur, where may we find you to see what you’re doing? This expert status comes from your writing, videos and audios, and your social media presence on the most active platforms for your target audience. My three popular and active blogs are at ConnieRagenGreen.com, HugeProfitsTinyList.com, and at MondayMorningMellow.com. Credibility is about what you already know and what you are learning. We all started our online businesses as adults, so we brought our knowledge and experiences with us. It made sense for me to help people write, market, and publish eBooks in the beginning, because I had worked as a classroom teacher for twenty years prior to coming online, and was learning about marketing and self-publishing. Profitability means that you must ask “What’s for sale?” every day in your business. Create your own simple products and courses, recommend others with affiliate marketing, and look into buying the resale rights to sell other people’s products as your own like I continue to do in my own business. The final part of this information on your expert status as an entrepreneur includes productivity, consistency, and attention to detail. Get everything in place as quickly as possible, and your online business is sure to grow exponentially! During my first couple of years online, beginning in 2007 I connected with mentors Alex Mandossian and Raymond Aaron. When I inquired as to what they were doing together as strategic alliance partners, they gave me a brief explanation and told me that I was not yet ready to move up to this level. Over the next two years they helped me to grow and elevate my business and my mindset as an online entrepreneur so that I could connect with others in this way. Seek out the people and groups you wish to be involved with and show them that you have moved past tactics and on to strategies. It will make all the difference and as you uplevel everything you’re doing online in your business, your free time and disposable income will increase exponentially! When I work with people in my Incubator Mastermind Mentoring program, the goal is to move them into position to become a strategic alliance partner with me and others to share their message in a bigger way. WHY did you choose the career you started your working life with? WHY did you get married, have children, and move into your first home? WHY did you make the conscious decision to leave your career at some point and start your business? WHY do you want to be an author or entrepreneur, or coach? WHY do you get up every single day and do the work required to become more successful on an ongoing basis? Everyone must have a WHY and there are no right or wrong answers here. But if you find yourself unmotivated to work or if you find yourself procrastinating on projects, then it's time to re-examine the main reason for your business. Name Your Reason – or Your WHY – for Starting a Business Focusing on your WHY can help motivate you, so write down your reason for starting a business on a regular basis. Did you want to fill your free time? Did you want to earn some play money or contribute to the family finances? Did you want to pay the medical bills of an aging parent or a sick child? Did you want to pay for your child's higher education or private school tuition? In my case, my answer to “what's your why?” was always around having enough income to live life on my terms. Over time, I came to the realization that every choice I was making, and each time I could not do something that had meaning for me, was all related to me needing to earn a paycheck or a commission from the classroom teaching and real estate work I was involved with each day. I missed just about every family event, vacation, and other activities because I was working 60 or more hours a week in order to cover my bills and other expenses. I wasn't angry or resentful because I believed that I didn't deserve to have a better life during those decades. This all changed in 2005 when I began reading books and attending events based on self improvement and personal development principles. Writing these reasons down – no matter what they are because every person's WHY will be different – should help motivate you to work hard. You should feel driven to make your business a success. You should be willing to tackle things outside your comfort zone because you know the end result will help your business. If you're not feeling motivated, then you need to dig deeper. I worked closely with a woman who was struggling to make her online business become profitable, and she continued to tell me that she had no problems or struggles in her life, currently or during her younger years. Then, one day she told me about her granddaughter who had passed away at age twelve and the floodgates opened. We got to the bottom of things, she discovered her why, and her business grew by leaps and bounds, almost overnight! Be Open and Willing to Examine Your Inner Feelings Life is fluid and ever-changing so it stands to reason that your WHY would change over time as well. Even if you started your business because you didn't know what to do once your kids were in full day school, you can change that WHY to something more meaningful now. A mentor once shared with me that she started a service business because she was a single mom and needed to earn money to survive. She was responsible for lodging, food, and clothing for herself and her child. She didn't have anyone to rely on except herself. THIS is enough to make you cry and to hustle for work, knowing that if she wasn't working, she wasn't eating. What are you passionate about that will get you hustling? Are you passionate about a cause or charity that can benefit from your financial assistance? Do you need to pull yourself up out of financial despair? Don't be afraid to own that reason and fight for your business. This is how you will continue to get closer to understanding and recognizing the answer to “what's your why?” Don't be Afraid to Switch Business Gears to Discover Your “Why” One of my mentees admitted to me early on that even though she has been in a service business for over ten years, that she hadn't been motivated to create any classes or products as a source of passive income. She blamed her indecision on a lack of new ideas and a feeling and belief that everything she knew had already been said and done, but I questioned if it was because she didn't feel attached to her particular niche of online marketing. After some more discussion, she agreed and has since modified her services that align better with what she enjoys. I still suggested that she explore a deeper WHY but this is a step in the right direction. Plenty of businesses add or subtract products or services or modify their mission statement. If something about your business doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to make changes. I'm bestselling author and online entrepreneur Connie Ragen Green, and now I can confidently answer the question “What's your why?” with enthusiasm and conviction. My “why” is around the concept of helping others to achieve their goals and dreams with writing and having a profitable online business so they may follow their dreams and passions without having to do work that doesn't make their heart sing or worry about meeting all of their financial obligations with grace and ease. You can double your productivity and be success with a business, or with anything you choose to accomplish in your life, if you are willing to implement what you learn and take decisive action on a consistent basis. Many people come to me to learn how to successful and profitable as an online entrepreneur. But some of them end up saying “I already know that” and moving on to something else. I know that I am able to do more than I ever thought would be possible in my life because I am willing to learn, implement, course correct, ask questions, take massive action and keep moving forward with consistency. Others may be smarter or more knowledgeable, but if they hesitate to take action they will not achieve the results they are hoping for in their business or with anything else. As long as you are specific and intentional with what you want to achieve, you can do it all as an entrepreneur, just not all at once. And we must throw perfection out the window. I have a new saying… The more perfecter your goal, the less purfeckt your results. “Everything we do in our lives is preparing us for something that will arise in the future, even though we don’t yet know what that will be.” ~ Connie Ragen Green Our stories are the fabric of our life. A story sets you apart from everyone else, makes you unique and memorable, and is all you have when it's all said and done. When I was a young child a neighbor girl, seven or eight years old at the time, interrupted my mother in the middle of a story she was telling to ask, “Why do you have so many stories?” My mother hardly skipped a beat, informing the girl that “You'll have stories too, when you get older.” On that evening a part of me became a storyteller in training. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was telling stories about everything from what I did in school that day to what happened in the neighborhood. I wore my storyteller's hat with pride and now I see that this one aspect of my life was preparing me for what I now do in my business and derive great joy from every single day. The word “praestabilis” is from the Latin and means outstanding, excellent, and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world. It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include… Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

Speak about yourself and your topic to anyone who will listen. I began by speaking at my Rotary Club and I continue to recommend service organizations as a way to break in to speaking. Now I speak all over the world, in person and virtually on a variety of topics. Masterminding – Connecting with others for the sole purpose of reaching your full potential is crucial to life success.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:What does it actually take to set yourself and your family up for life — not just for the next few years, but for generations?In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down to talk about his brand new book Set for Life — and this one is completely different. It's not a property book. It's not just for investors. It's for anyone, at any age, who wants to take control of their money, build a plan, and stop wondering where their paycheck disappears every month.Lloyd shares the concept of the *Freedom Fund* — a simple but powerful separate savings account that becomes the engine of your financial future. He breaks down how he went from a schoolteacher with no financial goals to building a 19-property portfolio, why compound interest is the most underused wealth tool most Australians ignore, and how even a few small spending changes — like your daily coffee — can add up to thousands in your Freedom Fund each year.The episode also covers a strategy most people have never heard of. Lloyd then opens up about generational wealth, teaching his 5 and 7-year-old kids about money, and the legacy he wants to leave — including funding a school in Kenya and gathering with CEOs and business leaders at Richard Branson's Necker Island.And yes — Richard Branson bought that island for *$*180,000. It's now worth *$*100 million. There's a lesson in there for all of us.*If you've ever asked yourself:*Where does all my money actually go each month?How do I start building wealth when I feel like I'm already behind?How do I teach my kids about money before it's too late?What does real generational wealth actually look like?This is the episode for you.---⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS:*---0:00 – What inspired Lloyd to write Set for Life — his 4th book3:31 – Introducing the Freedom Fund — your separate savings account for financial freedom4:17 – How much of your salary to put in (5%, 10%, 15% — what's realistic)6:43 – How Lloyd actually learned about wealth — and the no-goal mistake he made buying his first Rockdale apartment10:41 – The Freedom Fund explained in full — how it actually works12:18 – No overseas travel until 30, no credit card until 36 — what that sacrifice built12:35 – Afterpay warning: why buy-now-pay-later is silently killing your future14:01 – Small changes add up: cutting two coffees = $70 extra in your Freedom Fund per week15:47 – Compounding growth: how your Freedom Fund turns into your first investment deposit17:57 – Generational wealth: setting your kids up to set their kids up20:30 – Compound interest: the 8th wonder of the world (and why your bank account matters)23:29 – Where to buy Set for Life (Amazon, bookshops, Kmart, airports)26:10 – Charity and philanthropy: funding a school in Kenya directly29:51 – Necker Island: what happens at the exclusive gathering of 25 world leaders31:00 – Necker Island bought for **∗∗180K—nowworth∗∗**180K — 100....---

Rebl is a community a lot like Front Row Dads, built to serve high-performing entrepreneurial men who want to be great dads. We love showcasing other groups that are doing real work for fathers, and these two are the real deal. Adam and Derek share the wild story of how a bucket-list trip to Necker Island turned into a brotherhood, a mission, and a book co-authored by Richard Branson himself. Along the way, they get into what Branson is actually like behind the scenes (humble, present, makes his own coffee), the one question he asked that changed the entire direction of their work, and the deeper conversation about self-love that every ambitious dad needs to hear. This one goes from entertaining to vulnerable fast. If you've ever struggled to slow down, forgive yourself, or believe you're doing enough as a father, this conversation will land. What you'll hear in this episode: → How Adam and Derek met and built a friendship through a shared project → The Necker Island story and how Derek signed a massive contract before he had the money or the men → What Richard Branson is really like when no one's performing → The bike crash, the chess game, the coffee, and the lessons hiding inside each one → The one question Branson asked that launched the book → How they interviewed 103 dads in 7 months to write it → The "AM I" framework: do your actions and mindset align with your intentions? → Jon's honest admission about not fully loving himself, and what it means for fatherhood → Restorative vs punitive energy and the idea of giving someone "safe passage" in your mind   Learn more about Adam, Derek, and the Rebl Dads community: rebldads.com   More From Front Row Dads:

By the end of it, each had a new offer to battle-test, and one had a website live the same day.That only happens in a room of peers.

Nvidia was tot nu toe een van de sloomste chipaandelen van het jaar. Intel, AMD, Samsung, SK Hynix en zelfs ons eigen Besi fietsten de gifgroene chipreus lachend voorbij. Maar misschien is dat nu voorbij! Het bedrijf komt met een nieuwe superchip en dat betekent - naar eigen zeggen - een heel nieuw tijdperk voor computers. Het betekent in ieder geval flinke pijn voor beleggers in Qualcomm en Intel. Iets verderop zitten beleggers in Arm, Microsoft, ServiceNow en Hewlett Packard juist feest te vieren. We bespreken waarom. Verder doet de opvolger van Warren Buffett zijn eerste overname, in een totaal andere business: huizen bouwen in de VS. We bekijken waarom Berkshire opeens 6.8 miljard dollar in een sector plempt waar het kroonjuweel van Buffett al flinke belangen in heeft. Gast Erik Mauritz heeft het te doen met Greg Abel, die moeilijk in de voetsporen van het Orakel van Omaha kan treden. Maar toch ziet hij in Berkshire Hathaway een van de betere manieren om jezelf te beschermen tegen oververhitte AI-aandelen wereldwijd.

Episode Summary In this episode, Benoy Thanjan sits down with Victoria Stulgis, President of Black Bear Energy, to explore one of the most underrated opportunities in the solar industry: commercial real estate. Black Bear Energy acts as an owner's representative for institutional property owners, helping them deploy on-site solar and battery storage across their portfolios at scale. Victoria discusses Black Bear's recently published 2025 Real Estate Solar Leaderboards Report, a first-of-its-kind dataset tracking energized on-site solar across major U.S. real estate owners and managers. The numbers are eye-opening. Prologis leads with 309 MW deployed in the U.S. alone and more than 1 GW globally. Public Storage has quietly completed more than 1,100 projects totaling 111 MW. According to Morgan Stanley, there is still 326 GW of untapped solar capacity sitting on commercial rooftops across the country. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of how large REITs and institutional landlords are approaching solar today, why most deals are front-of-meter rooftop leases, what is driving community solar adoption in Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland, and what the ITC phase-out means for lease rates and deal economics going forward. Victoria also makes the case for why battery storage is the next major frontier for commercial real estate and what it will take for the capital markets to catch up. Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, a solar development and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed more than 100 MW of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credit transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market. As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MW of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar. Victoria Stulgis Victoria Stulgis is the President of Black Bear Energy, where she oversees the company's growth and day-to-day operations following the departure of founder Drew Torbin at the end of 2025. She has been with Black Bear for more than nine years, joining in the company's early days and working her way up through client-facing roles. Before Black Bear, Victoria built her career at two nonprofits focused on market-based solutions to climate change. She started at The Carbon War Room, Sir Richard Branson's climate NGO, where she worked on decarbonizing the maritime shipping industry. After The Carbon War Room was acquired by Rocky Mountain Institute, Victoria shifted her focus to corporate virtual PPAs, working directly with Fortune 500 companies that were early adopters of large-scale clean energy procurement.

Step into a raw, profoundly inspiring conversation with Ted Ryce, celebrity trainer, health expert, and host of the Legendary Life Podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ted brings decades of experience working with high achievers, blending fitness, nervous system health, and real-life transformation into a practical and powerful approach to well-being. Take a deep breath as Ted shares the pivotal moment that shaped his entire path. At 19 years old, his 9-year-old brother was kidnapped and murdered, a traumatic event that shattered his world. It forced him to confront grief, stress, and the collapse of everything he thought his life would be. In the aftermath, he struggled to function, eventually dropping out of school and feeling lost in the weight of it all. We explore how his healing didn't begin with mindset work or therapy, but through something deceptively simple… movement. Returning to exercise became the first thread of regulation, helping him feel better emotionally, sleep more deeply, and slowly rebuild a sense of stability in his body. That experience became the foundation of his life's work, showing him that physical health is not separate from emotional healing, but deeply intertwined. I agree! Ted introduces a grounded truth about the nervous system and aging. As we get older, the body naturally shifts toward a more activated, stressed state if we do nothing to counterbalance it. The sympathetic nervous system, our fight-or-flight response, becomes more dominant, which impacts energy, recovery, and overall well-being. The antidote is not extreme effort, but consistent, intentional movement that supports regulation. We also talk about: -Why fitness is the foundation for emotional resilience and long-term healing -The role of exercise in regulating stress, sleep, and mood -The difference between looking fit and being truly healthy -Why aging requires more intention, not less, when it comes to movement -The importance of aerobic exercise for nervous system balance -How strength training protects muscle, bone density, and longevity -The truth about "age is just a number" and where that belief falls short -Why consistency matters more than intensity for sustainable results -How daily habits like walking and step count impact long-term health -The connection between body fat, stress, and metabolic health This conversation is a wake-up call and an invitation. Your body is not separate from your healing. It is the ground beneath it. When you care for your physiology, you create the stability needed to face life's inevitable challenges with more strength, presence, and grace. Ted's work reminds us that even in the face of profound loss, the body can become a doorway back to life, one breath, one step, one rep at a time.

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Joey Mure, What is the BIGGEST RISK?   Joey Mure I think the number one risk facing America right now, which me included, is the onset of AI. And I don't think people are paying attention to how quickly it is making things that were solid, confident, type ways of making money obsolete. And let me just I'll share this with you. I'm a part of a mastermind. And there was a gentleman who spoke in March, and it kind of it woke me up to this. I already knew that this was a risk, but he said something very profound. He said he's in a room of about 80 people that are highly successful, coaches, mentors, influencers, things like that, online and, you know, marketing and stuff like that. And he said, if you're not asking the question, 90 90% of you are out of business in two years. And he said because being people that have information are completely obsolete at this point, the only people who will surpass AI are actually going to be icons. These are people who you immediately associate with a product or a service, right? And he gave some examples. He was like, what's what? What is Richard Branson's brand? You know, a handful of people probably know what his actual brands are, but they they recognize who he is, because he's an icon, and AI is not going to get rid of an icon. But if you're just building, if you're just regurgitating information from one person to the world. You're You're obsolete. You have to become absolutely like somebody who people will follow. You have to become the person who's not just information, but implementation, actual results. And that's why I say, you know, Russ and I are result leaders, not just thought leaders. We do the thing that we're telling you to do, and we report on exactly what's happening, good or bad, because we want to be authentically in your corner to say, hey, you can do this. Look, we're doing it right here. This is how this works. And there is a there's going to be both a big risk with AI and a humongous opportunity. And the biggest opportunity is to become authentic and to become real, because in an age of AI, everybody's going to be searching for what is real. Everything seems fake.   https://www.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/

I've seen this pattern play out too many times… an advisor builds a successful business, hits their numbers, grows the firm, and somewhere along the way, things at home start to drift. Not because they don't care, but because no one ever showed them how to win in both places at the same time.That's what this conversation is really about. Derek Notman and Adam Holt set out to explore that exact challenge through a project called REBL Dads—a movement built around helping fathers become more intentional at home without sacrificing their ambition in business. What started as an idea turned into a mastermind on Necker Island with a group of entrepreneurial dads, and ultimately a challenge from Richard Branson: “How are you going to help more dads with this?”That question led to over 100 interviews with fathers (many from financial services) unpacking what it actually looks like to succeed in both business and life. In this episode, we break down what they learned, the patterns that showed up across those conversations, and how you can start applying those lessons right now so success at work doesn't come at the expense of everything else that matters.3 of the biggest insights from Adam Holt & Derek Notman…#1.) Success at Work Doesn't Guarantee Success at HomeA lot of advisors are winning professionally but quietly losing where it matters most. This episode exposes the real cost of that tradeoff—and why ignoring it only makes it worse over time.#2.) Intentional Presence Is the Skill Most Advisors Never LearnBeing “around” your family isn't the same as being present. The most consistent theme across 100+ interviews was how intentionality—not time—drives real connection.#3.) You Don't Need More Time, You Need Better SystemsFrom calendar discipline to environment design, the dads who got this right didn't rely on willpower. They built systems that made showing up at home automatic.
