Learn how to tie your 2026 money goals to your values so you can stick with them all year. How can you match your 2026 money goals to what you really care about? And how do you turn those goals into a plan you'll actually follow? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss values-based money planning and goal-setting frameworks to help you build a realistic, meaningful financial plan for the new year. They begin with a discussion of centering money goals on your core values, with tips and tricks on identifying what matters most (like freedom, community, or adventure), translating those values into goals such as paying off a car loan or saving for early retirement, and aligning your saving, spending, giving and fun money with the life you actually want to live. Along the way, they share their own 2026 goals, from boosting emergency funds and increasing income to opening “fun money” and giving accounts and navigating a tough housing market and crypto temptations highlighted in NerdWallet's 2026 Financial Outlook Survey. Then, Sean and Elizabeth discuss how to move from big dreams to daily action using the SMART — and SMARTER — goal framework. They discuss how to break large goals (like maxing a Roth IRA or saving for a big event) into monthly and per-paycheck targets, how to make goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound, and how to build in personal rewards so sticking to your plan actually feels good. They also cover getting comfortable with the discomfort of change, planning for curveballs like impulse spending and surprise kid or car expenses, and using tools like high-yield savings accounts and multiple sinking funds (yes, even for summer camp) so you can absorb surprises without blowing up your 2026 money plan.

Dans cet épisode qui ouvre l'année 2026, j'aborde le développement des compétences de manière concrète, à partir d'un exemple réel : mon propre développement. L'objectif est d'inspirer les auditeurs dans leur démarche, en leur offrant un cadre transférable à leur propre réalité. J'expose l'ensemble des étapes de ma réflexion et les différents volets qui la composent : une dimension intellectuelle, où je m'appuie sur le guide For Your Improvement (FYI) pour identifier le sens politique comme compétence à développer ; une dimension relationnelle, qui m'amène à travailler en partenariat avec différentes personnes de mon milieu ; une dimension physique, introduisant un angle volontairement nouveau et divergent par l'intégration de la musculation à mon quotidien ; une dimension transformationnelle, où j'aborde mon propre stade de conscience. Je cherche à articuler ces quatre volets dans un plan de développement structuré, comprenant un objectif SMART et des activités sur mesure, alignées avec ce que je souhaite accomplir au cours de l'année. Développer ses compétences implique de sortir de sa zone de confort. C'est dans cet esprit que j'ai voulu concevoir un épisode qui aborde le développement autrement. Mon intention est de partager cette expérience de développement tout au long de l'année, dans une logique de laboratoire vivant.

Happy New Year. It's time to look back and name my top ten movies, the cream of the cinematic crop for 2025. 10) THE SECRET AGENT is an oddly structured but involving Brazilian paranoia thriller set during that country's political strife in 1977. 9) WEAPONS is an extremely original and genuinely unnerving horror chiller about 17 children who mysteriously disappear from the same grade school class. 8) IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is a harrowing, secretly filmed Iranian drama about former political prisoners who kidnap a man they believe was their tormentor. 7) THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a thoughtful philosophical and ultimately life affirming comic drama about a terminal cancer victim but told in reverse chronological order. 6) BLACK BAG is a clever and twisty drama that plays like “Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolf?” but with spies. 5) MARTY SUPREME is an offbeat character study about a brilliant but manipulative and conceited ping pong champ, set in the 1950s. 4) SENTIMENTAL VALUE is an insightful Danish drama about a filmmaker who tries to make up with his estranged daughters by making a film about his family. 3) HAMNET tells an absorbing speculative tale about William Shakespeare and his wife whose personal tragedy inspired his most acclaimed play, “Hamlet.” 2) SINNERS is a grisly vampire film that's really about racism, Jim Crow, the Blues…and much more. 1) ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a wildly entertaining thinking man's action film dealing with wannabe revolutionaries. Smart and skillfully made, it's the best film of 2025.

You're doing the work. The numbers are moving. So why does everything feel off?   We've watched this pattern play out with client after client. Smart, capable people lose confidence at the exact moment they should be trusting the process. They don't quit at the start when everything is hard. They don't quit at the finish when the results are obvious. They quit in the middle, when the work feels heavier than the reward.   This episode unpacks why that happens. We're talking about identity shifts that make progress feel threatening, why failure is feedback and not a verdict, and why the messy middle is actually where all the winning happens.   If you've ever stared at your dashboard wondering if you're doing this wrong, this one's for you.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Q_sAQveOZVg   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I just use ChatGPT to respond to an Amazon POA (plan of action) request?"

Stealing from a popular replay of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline discuss goal setting with kids. Rather than assigning goals or correcting what isn't working, this episode focuses on working with children to help them identify goals that actually feel meaningful to them. When kids have a say, they are far more likely to stay engaged and follow through.The discussion covers how parents can use what they already know about their children — their temperament, strengths, and challenges — to guide goal setting in a way that feels achievable, relevant, and motivating.Setting SMART Goals With Kids (Without Turning It Into a Battle)Step 1: Start With Reflection  Before setting any new goals, take a few minutes to reflect together. Ask:What felt easier this year than it used to?What was hard, but you stuck with it anyway?What are you proud of yourself for?Step 2: Choose One Area to Focus On Start with a conversation. Ask what they want to get better at this year. Brainstorm ideas, keeping it open and pressure-free. Keep this small. One area is enough. Step 3: Turn It Into a SMART GoalS – Specific What exactly are we working on? “What does that look like when it's happening?”M – Measurable  How will we know it's happening? “What would we see or hear if this was going well?”A – Achievable Is this realistic right now?“Does this feel doable, even on a tough day?”R – Relevant Why does this matter to you? “How will this help you at school or with friends?”T – Time-Bound What's the time frame? “Should we try this for the next two weeks or for this month?”Example :  “I will practice staying calm during homework by taking one break when I feel overwhelmed, at least three times a week for the next month.”Step 4: Create One Tiny Action StepBig goals fail when there's no plan. Ask:What's one small thing you can do when this gets hard?What's your first move?Step 5: Decide How You'll Support ThemThis is where adults shift into the consultant role. Ask:What might make this hard?How can I help when if this gets tricky?Let your child lead this decision. Step 6: Track Effort, Not PerfectionCheck in once a week (with curiosity rather than reminders or lectures). Focus on:What workedWhat felt hardWhat you'd tweakCelebrate effort, even when the outcome isn't perfect.Write the SMART goal on a card or sticky note and keep it visible!Resources:Goal setting blog: https://korupsychology.ca/setting-goals/Overpowering Emotions Podcast (Episode 99 – goal setting)Problem-solving skills: https://korupsychology.ca/develop-problem-solving-skills/Making informed decisions: Send us a textEnjoying the show?

AI is changing how companies grow, how leaders lead, and how strategy gets executed. In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, Carl J Cox sits down with Klee Kleber, co-founder and partner at Build Group, to discuss what leaders need to understand right now. Klee shares why expertise is becoming a commodity, why implementation is still the biggest challenge, and how operator-led strategy creates real value. They cover how AI is reshaping product development, go-to-market strategy, and leadership, along with why human judgment, trust, and execution still matter. This episode is a clear look at what is changing and what is not. Listen in, then take action. Strategy only works when it gets implemented.  

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Randie Ward pulls back the curtain on one of the most frustrating barriers in GovCon: finding the right person to talk to. From leveraging tools like ZoomInfo and federal data sources to dissecting agency budgets and understanding why program managers are intentionally harder to find, this episode shows how winning contractors turn research into access. Eric also explains why relationship-building isn't about one email or one call—it's about consistent, informed follow-ups that position you as prepared, professional, and serious long before an RFP is released. Key Takeaways Finding the right contact is often harder than identifying the opportunity Agency budgets reveal priorities before solicitations exist Relationships are built through persistence, not one-time outreach If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: https://www.encore-funding.com/

Let me start with a disclaimer—this isn't a political editorial. It's a conversation about ideas. Lessons from business, design, culture, and philosophy that might help us grow—individually and collectively. And if you disagree, email me at ConvoByDesign@Outlook.com. I welcome the debate. As this year closes, I'm feeling a mix of frustration and optimism. This moment feels chaotic—as does most of life lately—which is why I often end the show with, “rise above the chaos.” We can't eliminate it, but we can manage what's within our control. The Stoics told us that long ago: focus on what you can control, release what you can't, act with virtue, and let obstacles sharpen resilience. This essay is about taking back even a small amount of control through the work we do and the spaces we shape. The Problem with Trend-Driven Design This year, phrases and hashtags flew faster than ever—Quiet Luxury, Brat Green, Fridgescaping, Millennial Grey. Much like the “big, beautiful bill” language we've all heard tossed around in political discourse, design's buzzwords can distract from what actually matters. They generate attention, not meaning. They look good on social media, not necessarily in the lived experience of a home, workplace, or public square. So instead of centering our design conversations around fleeting edits, let's pivot toward the global innovations that are transforming the built world in ways that truly matter. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Real Innovation Worth Talking About Across the globe, designers, architects, and researchers are developing ideas that transcend buzz. These are the concepts with longevity—the ones shaping smart, resilient, human-centered spaces: Biophilic Design, rooted in the work of Edward O. Wilson, Erich Fromm, and Japanese shinrin-yoku, continues to reframe our relationship with nature. Net-Zero Architecture, pioneered in Canada, Germany, and Australia, redefines building performance through projects like Seattle's Bullitt Center and Colorado's RMI Innovation Center. Smart Homes and Invisible Tech, building on early Asian innovation, hiding circuitry and functionality behind seamless design powered by Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems. Prefab and Modular Construction, originally exemplified by structures like the Crystal Palace and the Sydney Opera House, now reimagined by firms such as Plant Prefab. Passive House Design, born in Germany but rapidly shaping U.S. projects in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. And the list goes on: Self-Healing Concrete by Hendrik Marius Jonkers Guggenheim Abu Dhabi by Frank Gehry Bët-bi Museum in Senegal by Mariam Issoufou Powerhouse Parramatta in Australia Pujiang Viewing Platform in China by MVRDV Landscape and biophilic approaches—Wabi-Sabi gardening, edimental gardens, climate-adaptive landscapes, and indoor biophilia—are redefining how we engage with natural systems in daily life. Even infrastructure has become a site of innovation: CopenHill/Amager Bakke, Denmark's waste-to-energy plant with a ski slope Urban Sequoias by SOM—skyscrapers designed as carbon sinks 3D-printed timber in Germany, Finland, and France This is the work that deserves our attention—not the color of the week on TikTok. Rethinking the Shelter Space For years I described architecture as a language, design as a dialect, and landscape as the narrative. Mies van der Rohe famously introduced the concept of architecture as language. It caught on, and then the bandwagon effect took over. But today, the metaphor feels insufficient—especially for the shelter space, where people spend their lives, raise families, work, heal, and age. The shelter space isn't like a retail store or restaurant, where design is often intended for those who pass through briefly while the people who labor there navigate the leftover space. The shelter space must serve those who inhabit it deeply and continuously. And that shifts the conversation. Design begins with the usual questions—purpose, function, users, goals, budget. But these questions don't define design. They only outline it. There is no universal purpose of architecture or design, no single philosophy, no singular “right” answer. The shelter space varies as widely as the people living within it. So instead of treating architecture and design as technical processes, we should approach them philosophically. A Philosophical Framework for Design Stoicism offers clarity: Accept that budget overruns and changes will occur. Respect the expertise of the designer you hired. Invest in authenticity rather than dupes. Create environments that support health—clean air, clean water, noise reduction, resilience. Utilitarianism reminds us that choices have consequences. If the design decisions you make are based on influencer content instead of expertise, the result is no surprise. And now, a new framework is emerging that could transform our shared spaces entirely. Sensorial Urbanism: Designing the City We Actually Feel One of the most compelling movements emerging globally is Sensorial Urbanism—a shift from focusing on how the city looks to how it feels. It's neuroscience, phenomenology, and inclusive design rolled into a multi-sensory toolkit. Five Key Sensory Principles Soundscaping Water features masking traffic. Acoustic pavilions. Designed sound gardens. Paris' Le Cylindre Sonore. Soundscape parks in Barcelona and Berlin. Smellscaping Native flowers, herbs, and aromatic trees restoring identity—especially critical after disasters like wildfires. Kate McLean's smellwalks map a city's olfactory signature. Tactile Design Materials that invite touch and respond to temperature—stone, wood, water—connecting inhabitants to place. Visual Quietness Reducing signage and visual clutter, as seen in Drachten, Netherlands, creates calmer, more intuitive environments. Multisensory Inclusivity Design that accommodates neurodiversity, PTSD, aging, and accessibility through tactile paving, sound buffers, and scent markers. Why It Matters Because cities didn't always feel this overwhelming. Because design wasn't always rushed. Because quality of life shouldn't be compromised for aesthetics. Sensorial Urbanism reconnects us with spaces that are restorative, intuitive, and emotionally resonant. A city is not just a picture—it is an experience. The Takeaway for 2026 Rising Above the Chaos: Lessons from 2025 for a Smarter 2026 HED (3-sentence summary): As 2025 closes, the design and architecture world has experienced unprecedented chaos and rapid trend cycles. In this episode, Soundman reflects on lessons from business, culture, and global innovation, emphasizing resilience, purposeful design, and human-centered spaces. From Stoic philosophy to sensorial urbanism, this conversation offers guidance for navigating the next year with clarity and intentionality. DEK (Expanded description): Twenty twenty-five tested the design industry's patience, creativity, and adaptability. In this reflective episode, we explore the pitfalls of trend-driven design, the enduring value of service, and the innovations shaping architecture globally — from net-zero buildings to multisensory urbanism. With examples ranging from TimberTech decking to Pacific Sales' trade programs, we examine how designers can reclaim control, prioritize meaningful work, and create spaces that heal, inspire, and endure. A philosophical lens, practical insights, and actionable guidance make this a must-listen for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Outline of Show Topics: Introduction & Context Reflection on the chaotic year of 2025 in design and architecture. Disclaimer: this is a philosophical conversation, not a political editorial. Invitation for audience engagement via email. Trends vs. Meaningful Design Critique of buzzwords like “quiet luxury” and “millennial gray bookshelf wealth.” Emphasis on global innovation over social media-driven trends. The gap between American design influence and international innovation. Global Innovations in Architecture & Design Biophilic design and its philosophical roots. Net-zero buildings: Bullitt Center (Seattle), RMI Innovation Center (Colorado). Smart homes, modular construction, and passive house adoption in the U.S. vs. abroad. Focus on Service & Professional Support Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home: Pro Rewards program and exceptional service. TimberTech: innovation in sustainable synthetic decking. Importance of performance, durability, and client-focused solutions. Philosophical Approach to Design Architecture as experience, not just a visual language. Stoicism, utilitarianism, and mindfulness applied to design. Sensorial urbanism: engaging all five senses in public and private spaces. Emerging Global Examples of Innovation Self-healing concrete (Henrik Marius Junkers), Copenhill (Denmark). 3D printed timber in Germany, Finland, France. Climate-adaptive landscapes, Wabi-sabi gardening, inclusive urban design. Moving Beyond Social Media Trends Rejecting influencer-driven design priorities. Returning to performance, resilience, and quality of life. Practical guidance for designers in all regions, including overlooked U.S. markets.

Most exercise and fitness plans fail the moment real life gets in the way, but training around how the body is built to move creates strength that holds up no matter how busy the gym or unpredictable your schedule becomes.   Better results in training do not come from more complicated programs or chasing the perfect lifting routine. They come from understanding how the body is meant to move and training those patterns with consistency. When squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, carrying, rotating, and absorbing force become the focus, workouts stop feeling fragile and start working in the context of real life.   The perspective here is long-term. Smart lifting and strength work support bone health, muscle mass, energy, and the ability to respond when life demands quick or unexpected movement. What gets lost when those capacities are no longer trained? What quietly fades when movement becomes narrow or cautious?   The takeaway is steady and practical. When plans fall apart, the answer is not starting over or doing more. It is returning to the fundamentals and letting them guide your choices. That shift turns training into something you can sustain across seasons, schedules, and decades.   Quotes “I want to help you not become one of those numbers of the statistics where you start something and you fall off the wagon just a few weeks into the new year.” (01:55 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Continue to live a healthy, active life, regardless of how old you are and as you age, continue to be that way.”  (02:59 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Focus on the movement pattern, not on the exact exercise.” (17:16 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You can easily replace a squat with a leg press, a leg press with a squat. You can do the same movement a different way because exercises are just ways that you accomplish movement patterns, not the other way around.” (17:28 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We definitely think more about the movement patterns as it relates to the function of our own bodies and being able to continue to move and do things for years and years in the future.” (17:43 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20     Connect with Physio Room: Visit the Physio Room Website Follow Physio Room on Instagram Follow Physio Room on Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

There's something I find deeply fascinating—and honestly, troubling—about how many people are willing to cut corners when they think no one will notice. It happens in all parts of life. High school. College. Work. Startups. Even in world-class labs or engineering teams.And yet, we rarely talk about it.We praise outcomes. We reward success. But the process? The part where character gets built? That part gets ignored—until it breaks.Let me give you a small example. It's kind of funny, but it's revealing.When you come over to our house, it looks clean. Tidy. Calm. You'd probably think, “Wow, what a well-kept home!” But what you don't see is what happens about thirty minutes before guests arrive—my wife panic-cleans like a maniac. Clutter shoved in closets. Dishes stacked in the oven. Stuff under the bed. The appearance is polished, but the reality? It's barely held together.That's not a critique of her. We all do it. It's a microcosm of something much bigger.We perform for the visible. We hide the rest.And the more I've thought about this—from studying learning and failure for the past twenty years—the more I see how dangerous this habit is. Because once you start focusing only on the outcome, and not how you got there, shortcuts become acceptable. And eventually, they become expected.I remember being in engineering school, looking at massive technical projects and thinking, “How did these things actually get built?” Then I remembered how many people I saw copying homework or sneaking past accountability. Smart, kind people—still cutting corners if it meant less work.That moment sticks with me: sitting down in an exam, watching as people quietly passed around old test answers. No one said anything. But everyone knew. And I remember the tension in my chest—like, am I the only one seeing this?And let's be honest: given the same circumstances, I might've done the same. It's not just about others. I've taken shortcuts too. I've done things I'm not proud of. And I still wrestle with those moments, the decisions I wish I'd made differently.That's the hard part.It's not just the failure. It's the after—the voice that whispers, “Why did I do that?” The guilt that doesn't go away. The self-respect that erodes quietly.And that's why I think character—real, internal character—is still one of the most important things we can teach and practice. Especially now.Because the truth is, most of life is invisible to others.The real stuff happens in the spaces no one sees. The code you don't copy. The email you choose not to send. The feedback you give even when it's uncomfortable. The extra 10% you put in—not because someone will reward you, but because you'll know if you didn't.And yes, it's hard. Especially when you don't get credit. When someone who cuts corners gets ahead. When the outcome looks the same on the outside, but you know the effort wasn't equal.But over time? That's where trust is built. That's where excellence is forged.My parents—especially my dad—instilled that in me. Do a good job, even when no one's watching. It sounds simple, but it's a hard thing to live by. Especially in a world that values speed, shortcuts, and “good enough.”I know some people might roll their eyes at this. It sounds like old-school advice. But when I think about the future—about artificial intelligence, innovation, engineering, startups—what worries me most isn't just the tech. It's the human part.It's what happens when we stop practicing integrity. When we stop building the habits that hold things together when no one's looking.Because eventually, someone's life depends on that bridge. That code. That system.Eventually, you have to live with what you did when no one was watching.And maybe even harder: you have to forgive yourself for the times you didn't live up to it.

Send us a textThis episode of The Anthony Amen Show breaks down why most people fail before the New Year even begins — and how to fix it for good.Anthony explains why traditional New Year's resolutions don't work, and why motivation-based goal setting almost always leads to burnout, frustration, and quitting. Instead of vague promises like “lose weight” or “make more money,” he walks through a practical, numbers-based framework that turns big goals into realistic, achievable actions.The conversation dives into SMART goals, prioritization, and why breaking goals down by month, week, and even hour removes overwhelm and decision paralysis. Using real-world business and fitness examples, Anthony shows how massive goals — like building a million-dollar business — become attainable when you focus on systems, vehicles, and consistent execution instead of hype.This episode also challenges how people approach New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, explaining why starting exhausted, hungover, and unfocused sets you up for failure — and how changing that single habit can shift the entire year ahead.This episode is for:• Anyone tired of failing New Year's resolutions• Entrepreneurs who want clarity instead of chaos• Fitness professionals and business owners who want real growth• People who want structure, not motivationIf you want to start the year with clarity, discipline, and a plan that actually compounds, this episode will change how you approach the next 12 months.Subscribe to The Anthony Amen Show for grounded conversations on fitness, business, leadership, and life.Share this episode with someone serious about making this year different.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

Welp, it's almost 2026! Today we're breaking down how to set New Year's goals that actually stick, without pressure, guilt, or perfectionism. Just clarity, compassion, and small steps forward.Let's jump in!Step 1: WHAT MAKES A GOAL SMARTSMART goals are:• Specific• Measurable• Achievable• Relevant• Time‑boundMost goals fail because they're too vague. “Get healthier,” “be more confident,” “save money” — great intentions, zero clarity. SMART goals give you a roadmap instead of a wish.Step 2: THE KINDER APPROACHBefore you set any goal, ask yourself:• Does this goal come from pressure or from purpose?• Does it make my life heavier or lighter?• Is this something I want, or something I think I should want?When your goals come from self‑compassion, they last longer.Step 3: QUICK SMART GOAL EXAMPLESLet's take “I want to get healthier.”SMART version:“For the next 30 days, I'll walk 10 minutes a day to boost my energy.”Or “I want to be more confident.”SMART version:“Every Monday, I'll write down one thing I did well that week.”Small. Clear. Doable.Step 4: MICRO‑GOALSMicro‑goals are tiny actions that build momentum:• Drink one extra glass of water• Read for five minutes• Clean one drawer• Spend 10 minutes on a creative projectThese small wins build trust with yourself — and trust fuels consistency.Step 5: ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAMEAccountability doesn't have to feel like judgment. It can be supportive:• Share your goal with someone who roots for you• Track progress visually• Celebrate tiny wins, you can do this by tracking what you are doing, whether with an app or journal etc• Adjust the goal when life changes, life is what happens on the way to your plans, so learn to pivot! you only fail when you quit, so don't...Accountability should feel like partnership, not pressure.As you step into the new year, remember: you don't need a new version of yourself — just a clearer, kinder plan for the version you already are. If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting goals too. And if you're working on your own SMART goals, I'd love to hear them. See you next time!TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn't pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time? Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet's acting as elite—possibly among the year's best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don't enjoy the story? Next up is Anaconda, a comedic adventure starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Andy appreciates the cast, the shorter runtime, and a handful of funny moments—but says the script, humor, and pacing fall short. His final score: 1.5 stars for quality, calling it watchable but forgettable. Which movie divides audiences the most? Which one sounds like a total miss—or a guilty curiosity? Andy breaks it down so you don't waste your movie night. Marty Supreme - Review begins at 17:39 * ⭐ Quality: ⭐⭐½ (Andy's personal take: ⭐½) *

What happens after the deal closes is the question too few founders ask. In this conversation on Your N.E.X.T., Jerome Myers sits down again with Dr. Michelle Fritsch to explore why even highly successful founders feel lost, disconnected, or unprepared after exiting their businesses. Together, they unpack the often-ignored realities of post-exit life—identity loss, health decline, strained relationships, and the myth that money alone creates fulfillment. The conversation also introduces the thinking behind the Exit Ready Summit, a boardroom-style experience designed to help founders prepare not just financially, but personally, relationally, and purposefully for life beyond the business. [00:00 – 07:00] | The Question Founders Avoid Most founders ask when to exit, not who they'll be afterExits are transformational portals, not just transactions Identity loss is the biggest blind spot in exit planning [07:01 – 14:00] | Why Health Is the First Domino Burnout is often a biological warning, not a mindset failure Chronic stress erodes decision-making long before exits occur Founders often sacrifice sleep, recovery, and relationships to “push through” [14:01 – 21:00] | The Myth That Money Fixes Everything Financial readiness does not replace identity or purposeWealth without structure can magnify loneliness and confusion Time and talent atrophy without intentional direction [21:01 – 28:00] | The Identity Vacuum After the Exit Many founders experience cognitive fog and loss of relevance Structure disappears overnight, leaving emotional free-fall Divorce and relationship breakdowns often spike post-exit [28:01 – 35:00] | Why Purpose Cannot Be an Afterthought Exiting from a business is not the same as exiting to something meaningful Lack of purpose leads to isolation, depression, and disengagement Relationships that once defined daily life often disappear post-exit [35:01 – 42:00] | Who the Exit Ready Summit Is—and Is Not—For Designed for founders who want clarity, not just liquidity Not for those unwilling to be vulnerable or self-reflective Small, boardroom setting enables real conversations Key Quotes “Relevance is one of the first things founders quietly grieve after they exit.” - Dr. Michelle Fritsch Burnout is not a mindset problem.

Generous is a character quality. And like integrity, it's a character quality that you choose. You're not born with it. You have to say, I am a generous person." - Dave RamseyDave Ramsey calls his 26-year-old self an "arrogant little twerp," and he means it. With 24 years of real estate experience and a college degree backing him, he genuinely believed the rules didn't apply to him. The debt that crushed other people? He was too smart for that. The pride before the fall? That was for regular folks. He would have been the guy trashing himself today, convinced that slow wealth building was for people who just didn't get it. Then his nothing-down real estate empire collapsed, and the guy who thought he was untouchable learned the hardest lesson of his life. What makes this conversation so gripping is watching Dave recognize exactly who he was, that person you feel like you need to shower after being around, the one so focused on me, me, me, me, me that he couldn't see the cliff ahead.But here's what shifted everything. Dave made a decision that generosity wasn't going to be about actions anymore. It was going to be his character, like integrity, something he chose to become rather than something he occasionally did. He started leaving outlandish tips, picking up bills for people in military fatigues, opening doors, tithing 10% to his church. Not because he had to, but because generous people are highly attractive, seldom depressed, and operate from abundance instead of scarcity. When you're drowning in financial stress, you become a navel gazer, turning inward, obsessing over protecting what little you have. Dave's saying the way out isn't to grip tighter. It's to open your hand and choose to be someone different, regardless of what's in your bank account. That decision to shift from selfish to selfless changes how you show up, how people experience you, and ultimately, how wealth flows into your life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
