Money can sometimes feel easier to manage in your business than in your relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Ed Coambs to gently explore what happens when you bring your money skills home and begin navigating them alongside a partner. We talk about financial intimacy, emotional safety, and what it truly takes to have honest, grounded conversations when two nervous systems — and two lifelong money stories — are in the room."Financial intimacy is the experience of being able to talk openly, safely, vulnerably about your shared financial life, your money hopes, dreams, aspirations, as well as your fears, worries, and anxieties." - Ed CoambsBuilding Financial Intimacy and Healthy Money ConversationsIn a relationship, money is rarely just about numbers. It's about safety, power, vulnerability, and the stories we each carry from childhood into adulthood. In this conversation, Ed and I unpack how financial intimacy gets built — and how it quietly breaks down — through everyday conversations and unspoken dynamics.I often see couples fall into predictable roles: one partner pushes to engage with money, the other pulls away. Over time, these roles can harden into resentment or shutdown, especially when income shifts, career growth, or differing values enter the picture.Repair is possible! It begins with slowing down, naming old hurts, owning the part you've played in past conflicts, and choosing to approach money conversations with collaboration instead of defensiveness. When you tend to both the emotional and practical sides of money together, trust deepens — and conflict softens.Emotional Patterns, Relationship Shifts, and Money ConversationsMoney shows up in relationships through tone, body language, and nervous system reactions — not just spreadsheets. In this episode, we dig into what's happening underneath the surface when money becomes tense.(00:04:39) Understanding Financial Intimacy(00:06:54) Exploring Emotions Around Money(00:15:21) Couples and Evolving Money Views(00:18:32) Navigating Money Dynamics in Relationships(00:21:52) Owning Your True Feelings(00:27:40) Modeling Respect Through Conversations(00:30:11) Money and Relationships with KindnessWhat It Really Takes to Talk About Money TogetherBuilding financial intimacy means learning how to stay present when money stirs up fear, shame, or old family patterns. When you start noticing the emotional tone of your conversations — not just the content — you can begin to shift from tension into connection.When you begin speaking honestly about what money really represents for you — security, freedom, worth, control — power struggles often soften. Over time, those small moments of repair and respect not only change your relationship, they quietly shape the money story your children will inherit as well.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

In this episode of the Better at Beach podcast, Mark Burik and Brandon Joyner discuss their experiences at the Phil Dauhauser Beach Volleyball Academy, highlighting the journey of campers who evolve into coaches. They share insights on coaching philosophies, the importance of building a solid offense, and effective communication on the court. The conversation also touches on the significance of understanding personal strengths in volleyball and the need for simplicity in executing plays. The episode concludes with a call for more coaches to join their growing community and celebrate their recent milestone of 100,000 Instagram subscribers.

In this episode, Jarrod and Anita pull back the curtain on one of the most dangerous lies in modern medicine: that controlled numbers on a piece of paper equal actual health. If you're on medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, high blood sugar, or other diagnoses and your doctor says your numbers look good, this episode is going to stop you in your tracks. Because "managed" and "healthy" are not the same thing, and as a Kingdom leader with a divine assignment, you cannot afford to confuse the two.Jarrod shares the moment that broke him: sitting in a medical conference watching a healthcare provider teach other providers to stack medication on top of medication to chase symptoms, never once asking what was causing the fire in the first place. That moment changed everything!Here's what you'll discover in this episode:Why controlled numbers ≠ true health (and what it really means to be a "managed sick person")How disease starts silently, sometimes decades before you feel a single symptom (the research on children as young as four will floor you)The hay field analogy that perfectly captures everything wrong with how we approach chronic illnessAnd the good news: how to have the meals you love and achieve optimal nutritionThis episode is not anti-medicine. This is pro-you... all of you. Your calling, your legacy, your family, your full Kingdom impact. You were made for more than just pushing through or "surviving." It's time to stop managing so you can start thriving.

Because let's be honest…Every salon owner has one.Had one.Or is currently avoiding one.

For our 200th episode of Money Skills for Therapists, I invited my business besties, Tiffany McLain and Maegan Megginson, to join me for a conversation that was more honest than polished. Together, we unpacked the real seasons of entrepreneurship — the times when you feel energized, expanding, and deeply aligned… and the times when you feel tired, restless, like you're questioning everything, or quietly pulling back. If you've ever wondered whether it's normal to feel both love and resentment toward your business at different points, this conversation is for you.Navigating the Seasons of BusinessRunning a therapy-focused business isn't a constant upward climb. It has seasons of expansion, contraction, clarity, confusion. In this conversation, we let ourselves name that truth.We talked about what it feels like when you're all in — launching, creating, hiring, dreaming bigger. And we also opened up about the quieter seasons: reducing your client load, winding down programs, letting team members go, or wondering if you even want to keep doing this work in the same way.There's so much pressure in entrepreneurship to always be scaling. But sometimes wisdom looks like pulling back. Sometimes contraction isn't failure — it's integration.At the same time, building work you genuinely enjoy doesn't happen by accident. It requires noticing your energy, building systems that support you instead of draining you, and being honest about what you're doing because you want to rather than because you think you “should.”We also talked about money — because underneath many expansion or contraction decisions is a financial story. Cultural conditioning around money. Fear of losing relevance. Fantasies about quitting. Fantasies about scaling. And how helpful it is to have friends who understand the nuance of all of it.Listening to Your Season Instead of Forcing GrowthEntrepreneurship isn't just strategy — it's discernment. It's noticing whether you're in a building season or a gathering season. Whether something needs to grow… or gently end.00:04:02 Life and Business Have Seasons00:12:52 Shifting Beliefs in Business00:14:25 Creative Business as Living Practice00:24:06 Embracing Healthy Contraction00:25:14 Winding Down with Care00:32:46 Embracing Flexibility and Growth00:38:21 Slow Down, Take a Breath00:39:15 Discernment Before Building Something New00:44:36 Value of Business Besties00:46:02 Mastering Money for TherapistsLetting Your Business Evolve with YouOne thing we kept circling back to is this: your business is allowed to change as you change.There are seasons where you build aggressively, seasons where you stabilize, seasons where you question everything, and seasons where you rediscover joy.You don't have to cling to an old identity just because it once worked. You don't have to keep scaling just because you can. And you don't have to quit just because you're tired.Sometimes the most mature move is slowing down long enough to ask, “What season am I actually in?”Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Coaching is the real work of leadership once you start managing other people. In modern workplaces—especially post-pandemic and in hybrid teams—your job isn't just delivering results; it's building capability so results keep happening even when you're not in the room. This guide breaks down a Seven Step Coaching Process leaders can use to develop team members through everyday, on-the-job coaching, not just HR training programs. It's designed for busy managers in SMEs, multinationals, and fast-moving teams where skills, tools, and customer expectations change constantly. How do leaders identify coaching opportunities in day-to-day work? Coaching opportunities show up through observation, self-awareness, external feedback, changing business needs, and sudden situations. Leaders who wait for formal training cycles miss the daily moments where performance can lift quickly with small, targeted coaching. In practice, there are five classic triggers. First, you notice a gap—someone lacks a skill, hasn't been trained, or is moved into a new task with no reps. Second, the staff member flags it themselves, either because they're stuck or ambitious and want growth. Third, customers, vendors, or outsiders complain or comment, which is often the clearest real-world signal that training hasn't landed. Fourth, the business changes—new technology replaces old ways (think "Telex to email" as the metaphor), so yesterday's competencies become irrelevant. Fifth, situations force change, like promotions, role shifts, or remote work onboarding. Do now: Create a weekly "coaching log" with 5 headings (Boss, Self, Customer, Change, Situation) and write one example under each. What's a real example of a "customer complaint" coaching trigger? Customer feedback often reveals tiny skill gaps that quietly damage trust—especially in service culture. Leaders should treat complaints as coaching gold, not just quality problems. A simple example is telephone etiquette in corporate settings. In Japan, one common frustration is when staff answer the phone by stating only the company name, without their own name—creating awkwardness for the caller if they ask for someone and discover the person answering is that individual. The fix is not expensive training or a big workshop; it's a repeatable micro-skill: answer with "Company name + your name." This is the essence of practical coaching—catch a pattern, define the desired behaviour, practise it, and reinforce it until it becomes normal. This same principle applies across markets. In the US or Australia, the equivalent might be email tone, response time, or how staff handle returns. In B2B environments, it might be meeting preparation or follow-up discipline. Do now: Pick one customer friction point from the last 30 days and turn it into a 2-minute coaching drill. What should the "desired outcome" of coaching look like? Coaching only works when both people can clearly picture success and agree it matters. If the outcome is fuzzy—or owned only by the boss—it becomes compliance, not growth. A strong coaching outcome is behavioural and observable: "They can do X task independently, to Y standard, in Z timeframe." That clarity matters even more in remote or hybrid work, where leaders can't rely on informal monitoring. The outcome should also be jointly owned: the team member needs to want it, not just tolerate it. That means the leader's role is to define what good looks like, show why it matters (customer impact, team efficiency, career growth), and confirm the person buys in. In startups, outcomes often focus on speed and adaptability. In large organisations, they may be tied to compliance, brand, or consistency. Either way, "success" must be visible, measurable, and shared. Do now: Ask: "What would 'great' look like here in two weeks?" Write the answer as one sentence you both agree on. How do you establish the right attitudes for effective coaching? Coaching accelerates when the leader understands the person's motivations and role fit. Without that, even good advice lands badly—or gets ignored. Attitude isn't about pep talks; it's about context. How well you know your team determines how quickly you can judge whether you have the right people in the right roles—"the right bus and the right seats." Some people are motivated by mastery, others by recognition, autonomy, stability, or future promotion. A leader who understands this can tailor coaching so it feels supportive rather than corrective. This is especially important across cultures. In Japan, people may avoid direct self-promotion, so ambition can be hidden. In Australia or the US, staff may be more comfortable stating career goals openly. In both cases, leaders need genuine curiosity: "What do you want to get better at, and why?" Do now: In your next 1:1, ask one question: "What part of your job gives you energy, and what drains it?" Use the answer to guide coaching. What resources do managers need to provide for coaching to work? The scarcest and most valuable resource in coaching is the leader's time. If you demand performance but deny support, you're setting people up to fail. Resources can include money, equipment, training materials, access to internal experts, or backing from senior management—but the key constraint is often attention. Coaching isn't a side hobby; it's core leadership work. Many managers confuse "time efficiency" with effectiveness, rushing tasks while leaving capability undeveloped. The result is predictable: repeated mistakes, avoidable escalations, and a team that can't operate independently. In a post-pandemic world, time investment is even more critical for onboarding. New hires who joined after early 2020 often missed informal learning because there was nobody physically nearby to ask. Do now: Block 30 minutes per week for coaching, not status updates. Treat it like a leadership KPI, not optional admin. Why is coaching "job number one" for the boss? When leaders get coaching wrong, performance problems multiply—and the team becomes dependent, fragile, and reactive. When leaders coach well, talent compounds and the organisation scales. Coaching sits upstream of almost everything that matters: customer satisfaction, productivity, retention, and succession. HR can organise training, but only the direct manager can reinforce it in daily work—correcting small behaviours before they become big issues, and building confidence through repetition. The best leaders don't just solve problems; they develop problem-solvers. This is true whether you're leading a sales team, operations team, or a professional services unit. In high-change environments—new tech, new processes, new market expectations—coaching is how teams keep up without burning out. It's also how you build a leadership bench instead of becoming the bottleneck. Do now: Identify one person you're currently "rescuing" too often. Coach them on the skill that removes the dependency. Conclusion: The Coaching Process as a leadership operating system The Seven Step Coaching Process is a practical way to lead: spot opportunities, define success, align attitudes, and provide resources—starting with your time. The goal isn't to create perfect employees; it's to build capability so people can perform confidently as work evolves. If you treat coaching as a daily discipline, you'll scale your team's competence, reduce recurring issues, and strengthen results across customers, culture, and performance.

One of the most powerful (and often unspoken) ways we shape our kids' relationship with money is through our own financial values and beliefs. The way we talk about money, how we feel about money and the habits we build around money ultimately become inherited by our children.In this solo episode, I reflect on the big hand we play as parents in creating our kids' money stories. I also explore what it looks like to model healthier financial skills with intention, clarity, and compassion—and why this work is as much a gift to ourselves as it is to the next generation.Modeling Healthy Money Skills for the Next GenerationOur kids look to us for guidance. They're always watching us, listening to us and absorbing everything we say and do, and it's no different when it comes to money. We're the ones teaching them and planting those seeds—whether we mean to be or not.The way we talk about money, react to stress, or make everyday decisions becomes the foundation of their financial narrative, shaping what they believe is normal, possible, or scary. That's why it's really important to stop and think about what we want to be modeling to our kids about money.Start by getting clear on your own values around money, including:What you want your kids to emotionally associate with money (stress, confidence, neutrality, joy).The beliefs you want to model around responsibility, self-sufficiency, generosity, and justice.When you become more intentional with both your beliefs and your emotions, you create space for open conversations, skill-building, and confidence—helping your children develop a relationship with money that feels grounded, empowered, and aligned with the life you want for them.Raising Money-Aware Kids in an Intentional WayLook for moments where everyday language and emotional reactions become powerful teaching tools. You'll notice how small shifts in awareness can transform money from a source of stress or silence into something you and your kids can talk about with honesty, clarity, and care.(00:06:45) Modeling Healthy Money Habits(00:08:01) Teaching Kids to Talk About Money(00:11:16) Navigating Emotional Reactions Around FinancesBuilding a Healthier Money Story at HomeYour words, reactions, and everyday habits quietly shape the money stories your kids carry into adulthood. By getting honest with your own values around money, you can model what you actually want to pass on to them, instead of defaulting to inherited beliefs or unconscious patterns. You'll also start to notice how emotional responses like stress, avoidance, or openness become powerful teachers, often more impactful than any formal lesson.This creates space to rethink money as a tool and a form of power that can be used responsibly and in alignment with your values. Ultimately, it's about giving your kids practical skills, emotional confidence, and a healthier relationship with money than many of us were ever taught.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Staring into your fridge on repeat trying to figure out what to eat just cost you a high-value client. The mental energy you're wasting on food decisions is the same brain power you need to 10x your productivity, close deals, and scale your revenue.For busy leaders, turns out that just having recipes and "more willpower" aren't the answer. What actually works is the system that eliminates food decision fatigue altogether.I used to stand at the pantry feeling stuck while my to-do list exploded and opportunities kept slipping past. Brain fog killed my focus, afternoon crashes stole my best revenue-generating hours, and I was living for nap time instead of physically being able to fully execute on the strategies I knew would grow my business.So many things could have been skyrocketing sooner if I'd had the energy to implement. Instead, I was stuck in survival mode, showing up at half capacity while opportunities kept slipping past.The problem wasn't "needing discipline," but the constant decision-making around food that was draining my mental energy and robbing me of time!In this episode, you're getting the 7 strategic shortcuts that make whole food plant-based eating so effortless you'll never waste brain power at mealtime again. The one list that buys back hours every week. Your anchor meal you can eat on repeat without thinking. The flavor arsenal that makes healthy food taste incredible. Plus, the sauce that goes on almost anything and takes under 5 minutes to make.Implement just one strategy this week and watch what happens when you stop losing mental energy to food decisions and your body finally starts backing your vision instead of sabotaging it. This is the shift from Exhausted Entrepreneur to Limitless Leader. Welcome to Power On Plants.

Jarrod had no idea this was coming.I pulled him into a lightning round: 13 foods that are in our grocery cart on repeat, power fueling our bodies, and consistently costing us less than what we used to spend eating the old way. Cruciferous vegetables that fight cancer. Beans that reverse other “chronic” disease. Berries that slow aging. The leafy greens that protects your heart. The list just keeps going!And the thing is, this isn't some expensive, boutique health food shopping. This is real life, six people in our household, buying in bulk, eating more than we ever did before, and being freed from the things that were REALLY costing us: missing all the opportunities we wanted to take in life but couldn't because we were stuck in all the exhausting health struggles.) You'll hear exactly what we buy, why we buy it, how we use it, and the strategic thinking behind building the grocery cart that fuels your ability to make kingdom impact instead of feeding future medical bills or “managing” a growing list of symptoms. There's no fluff or “theory” here, just the exact foods sitting in our kitchen right now that keep us showing up strong for what God called us to do.So if you're done with standing in the grocery store overwhelmed and not knowing what actually works, this episode hands you the blueprint. Thirteen foods, real results. Your body, your bank account, and the people needing what you can offer are about to have something amazing to celebrate!Time to fill your cart with abundant life!

Your healthcare provider runs the tests, orders the meds, and sends you home to "manage" your condition. Meanwhile, there's something backed by reliable research that could potentially reverse it. Something simple, and nobody told you. But WHY?Not because it doesn't work. This has reversed cancers, MS, lupus, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, chronic headaches, stubborn weight, crushing fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol. The list keeps going.So why the silence? That's what we're exposing in this episode. The real reasons this stays buried. What Jarrod and I discovered at 40 that changed everything. Something natural you can start today if your body has become the bottleneck to your calling.We're handing you the truth so you can break through.What if you run out of time before you reach your full potential? What if your body steals the years you need to complete your assignment?This is THE fight of our generation. Christian leaders are linking arms, refusing to let our bodies become the weapon our enemy uses to stop us. Satan is going to hate this episode, which is the perfect reason to press play.It's time for purpose-driven leaders and Kingdom entrepreneurs to rise up and bring "His Kingdom Come" to this earth….together!

Most founders are terrified of "Red Oceans" or markets saturated with massive competitors. They think the only way to win is to find a completely untapped "Blue Ocean." In this episode of the ProductLed 100 series, Wes Bush sits down with Patrick Thompson (CEO of Clarify.ai) and Esben Friis-Jensen (Co-Founder of Userflow) to discuss why entering a crowded market is actually the smartest move a founder can make if you have the right strategy. Patrick reveals how he spent six months interviewing potential customers before writing a single line of code for Clarify, an autonomous CRM designed to disrupt the industry giants. Together with Esben, they break down the exact framework for validating problems, the power of business model disruption through pricing wars, and why "feature parity" is not the goal. Whether you are building a new startup or trying to carve out space in a competitive category, this episode offers a masterclass in customer discovery, positioning, and Go-To-Market execution. Key Highlights: 02:15 : Why Patrick spent 6 months on discovery before writing a line of code 06:53 : The "Red Ocean" Advantage: Why crowded markets are easier than Blue Oceans 10:10 : How to differentiate when features are commoditized 12:34 : Using price and ease of use as a wedge against incumbents 18:31 : The 3-Step Framework for building what people want: ICP, Channels, and Business Model 23:12 : Which acquisition channels actually work (Product Hunt vs. Founder-led Marketing) 30:04 : Why complex products still need human onboarding, even in PLG 36:49 : How to operationalize customer feedback for engineering teams Resources:

Send us a textMost of us are one decision away from giving up. We're at the breaking point, questioning if we're qualified, if our pain has purpose, if it's even worth continuing. And in that moment—when you're about to quit—everything changes. Or nothing does. It depends on what you choose next.In this life-altering episode, mental health professional Alison Lager and voice coach Matt Berthot sit down to discuss the exact moment when most people walk away from their calling. They've both been there. Alison survived her husband's suicide, childhood abuse, eating disorders, and a murder trial. Matt inherited generational trauma from his grandfather's suicide and his father's alcoholism. Both were broken. Both were about to quit. Both chose differently.And they're here to tell you: The moment you're about to quit is exactly when you must keep going.But they're not just offering motivation. They're offering a framework—one rooted in neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience—for what to do when the eclipse of despair gets too dark to see through.You'll discover:Why "God qualifies the called" means your inadequacy is the invitationHow the suicide mind works (and it's not what you think)The one skill that prevents emotional collapse: emotional sobrietyThe three-step framework that transforms your worst pain into your life's workWhy bigger growth always means bigger storms—and how to prepareThe Hadestown lesson: How to sing your sad song and still find hopeHow to practice resilience in small moments so you have it in big crisesWhat happens when you finally say yes to that small, still voice inside youWhy receiving help is harder than giving it (and why that's destroying you)The difference between reaction and response (it's a 10-second pause)This episode is for anyone standing at the edge.

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things with your messaging… yet it still isn't landing the way you know it could? You're showing up consistently. You're sharing value. You're following the strategies. But something about your message still feels off, or worse, invisible. In episode 469 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm joined by Samantha Riley, Human Design expert and business strategist, to explore why traditional messaging frameworks often fail for entrepreneurs, and how integrating your Human Design can help you express your brilliance with clarity, confidence, and resonance. Samantha and I dive into the five key Human Design elements that influence how your message is received, how you communicate most effectively, and how your natural energetic signature shapes client attraction. You'll even hear a bit about my own Human Design chart and how it's influencing my offers, brand and messaging. When you align your message with your Human Design, everything feels easier, and you stop trying to "sound like an expert" and start sounding like you. If you're ready for messaging that feels authentic, aligned, and powerfully compelling, this conversation will help you tap into a deeper level of expression and visibility. Key Takeaways: [03:12] Why so many entrepreneurs feel their message is falling flat online — and how Human Design bridges that gap. [07:45] The five Human Design elements Samantha uses to help clients refine and align their messaging. [11:10] How your Type determines the energetic tone of your messaging (and why some people are not meant to initiate). [16:30] What your Authority reveals about how you communicate decisions and guide your audience. [20:58] Why your Profile shapes the role you're designed to play in your client's transformation. [24:20] How undefined and defined Centers affect the way you communicate trust, leadership, and expertise. [29:44] Real-world examples of messaging pitfalls that happen when you operate outside your design. [33:55] The energetic shifts and aligned actions that make your message instantly more magnetic.

Head over to https://www.richmind.co/ to grab our free resources and also follow the podcast.   This episode provides a powerful and practical 3-step framework for building unstoppable habits to create your dream life. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn, Randy explains that the secret to having more is becoming more, and the key to becoming more is mastering your daily habits. He breaks down a simple yet effective system for eliminating bad habits and stacking good ones. Listeners will learn the "Zero Day Mindset" to ensure daily progress, the importance of conducting an "Environment Audit" to remove distractions and set yourself up for success, and how to create a "Reward Loop" to make new habits stick. This is a concise, no-fluff guide to transforming your life by transforming your daily actions.   Key Takeaways:   The foundation of building your dream life is mastering your daily habits. Step 1: The Zero Day Mindset. Commit to making at least some progress on your new habit every single day, no matter how small. Never let a day end at zero. Step 2: The Environment Audit. Proactively design your surroundings to make good habits easy and bad habits difficult. Remove distractions and set up visual cues for success. Step 3: The Reward Loop.

Acknowledge it, learn from it, and get right back on track without self-judgment.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the secret to building habits that actually stick?
