On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve talks with attorney Ronald W. Chapman II, who shares his powerful journey from the battlefield to the courtroom. A former Marine Corps JAG officer, Ronald opens up about how his military service shaped not just his legal skill set but also his mindset. The idea of not using the law as a shield became a defining part of his growth as a leader. His transition from a highly structured military environment to the unpredictable world of private practice taught him that true impact comes from embracing purpose, taking ownership, and leading with vision. Ronald's journey didn't start in a courtroom—it began with a decision sparked by 9/11. While studying law, he felt the pull to serve. His Marine Corps recruiter advised him to finish law school and return as an officer, and that is what he did. That moment changed everything for Ronald. His legal career is rooted in precision, principle, and purpose. He began by investigating battlefield decisions in Afghanistan. Later, he defended healthcare professionals in high-stakes litigation. Leaving the military brought a new challenge: adjusting to civilian legal practice. No one prepares you for that transition, and Ronald had to find his own way. He joined his father's law firm and quickly became a key part of its growth and direction. His background in philosophy helped him shift from pure strategy to powerful storytelling. In the courtroom, he created space where empathy meets advocacy. Today, Ronald plays a major role in a multi-state law firm, and his approach stands out in the legal field. He focuses his time where it matters most and delegates everything he can. He also notes that listening to what others were saying—and doing what they didn't want to—led him to specialize in healthcare defense. Choosing an area of law others avoid gave him a strategic edge and helped the firm grow. This episode isn't just about firm growth—it's about identity. Ronald talks candidly about the emotional weight of litigation, the mental shift from technician to visionary, and the power of mindfulness. He credits creative outlets like working out and writing to help him stay grounded, and emphasizes that strong leadership requires knowing when to step back—not just push harder. Ronald's story challenges legal professionals to stop using the law as a shield, to lead with courage, embrace the human side of practice, and build something sustainable. This conversation is a reminder that your story, your mission, and your mindset matter just as much as your legal skills. In this episode, you will hear: Ronald Chapman's transition from a Marine Corps JAG officer to playing a key role in a multi-state law firm Aligning personal mission with professional vision and the importance of niching in legal practice Challenges and strategies in managing a healthcare-focused law practice Lessons on delegation, innovation, and leadership drawn from military experience The role of strategic connections and niche focus in expanding legal influence Humanizing legal defense and the significance of personal narratives in court Balancing leadership responsibilities with self-care and personal well-being Stay Connected & Show Your Support: Never miss an episode—subscribe to Great Practice, Great Life!  ⭐Like what you hear?

So pumped to share with you this episode!Something that comes up all the time is how do you actually inject more of you into your brand without oversharing, cringing, or turning into a full-time content creator?In this episode, I'm talking about the real reason people connect with your brand, and guess what, it's you!

No pressure, no forced vulnerability, just some really simple ways to bring warmth, energy, and your personality into your content (without sharing what you ate for lunch).I'll cover:Why “being personal” doesn't mean oversharingThe difference between private and performative (and how to stay grounded in what feels good)5 simple ways to show more of you in your brand, even if you're introvertedWhy your values, voice, and behind-the-scenes thinking are way more powerful than you realiseHow to share stories that stick, without turning your content into a confessionalThis one's your gentle nudge (or not so gentle) to stop hiding behind your brand and start showing up in it.

Have you ever paused and really asked yourself, Who am I?  I don't mean what you do for a living. Or what others expect of you. I mean the real you. The version of you that shows up when no one's watching. The one that doesn't pretend, doesn't shrink, and doesn't perform.  Most of my clients come to me thinking they'll finally feel like themselves once they hit a certain milestone.  It could be after tax season is over, or when their bank account hits a certain number, or when their business “finally calms down.” But what if the path to becoming your true self doesn't come after the chaos settles? What if it begins right in the middle of the mess?  Let's talk about what it really means to give yourself the gift of being yourself, and why it might be the most powerful thing you ever do.  Let's dive in… I'm inviting you to sign up for the free private podcast where I do a deeper dive into this topic on the Mastering Your Mindset Moments podcast for high-stress professionals: https://www.financialadventure.com/private Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit and Clarity Session, where we'll work together to create a clear and focused plan for you to move forward so you'll immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You'll have the opportunity to see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

What if your greatest growth in retirement didn't come from doing more—but from finally sitting with who you are? Throughout this discussion, we explore the concept of the “shadow self”—the parts of yourself that you may avoid, hide, or ignore—and how bringing light to these areas can lead to true peace and deeper connection in the second half of life.  In this episode, we discuss:  How unresolved emotional patterns can impact health, relationships, and joy Why it's important to take inventory of the roles you've been praised for How to leverage retirement as a mirror and own where you're out of alignment Today's article is from our very own blog post which you can find here. Listen in as Founder and CEO of Howard Bailey Financial, Casey Weade is joined by Les McDaniel to explore how embracing your “shadow self” can lead to deeper peace and fulfillment in retirement.  Show Notes: HowardBailey.com/509

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, “No one can know I'm struggling with this”? I've been there. But this thought might be one of the most dangerous beliefs you can carry as a coach. It's normal to think you can't show vulnerability, but what I've learned over time is that transparency doesn't make us less of a coach. It makes us more human and more relatable to our clients.   In this episode, I dive into why trying to hide our fails from our clients only isolates us, increases pressure, and ultimately weakens our ability to serve them. I'll also share how my own struggles with transparency have shaped my approach to coaching, and how embracing vulnerability has created deeper connections with my clients. Perfection is a myth, and it's time we start normalizing the messy parts of coaching and business.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/245

There's a more direct way to create the effect you want with your style than strategically planning it. (Spoiler: it involves being yourself.) In this episode, I share how a realtor instantly read my personality type from a simple outfit, and what that taught me about why conventional styling wisdom gets it backwards. We explore how DISC types could dress strategically, but discover a more direct path to the same outcome. The most effective way to communicate through personality and style is simply to stop hiding who you actually are. Download my Guide to Design Psychology.

I have a confession to make. For the longest time, I've been hiding behind my business. I know this might sound odd coming from someone who records podcasts, runs awesome events and has been in the business game for years. But here's the thing—I'm not a fan of being the centre of attention. My business became my shield, and I let it do all the talking while I stayed safely in the background. In this episode, I'm sharing about the recent heart-to-heart I had with my podcast producer that made me realise just how much I'd been hiding my true self from my audience. The irony wasn't lost on me—my work is all about connection, yet I'd been disconnecting from the very people I'm meant to serve out of fear of being truly seen.We'll explore the "trust recession" we're in, where trust levels have nosedived, and how hiding behind our screens or microphones makes this disconnect worse. I share my ongoing struggle with showing up authentically without oversharing, questioning whether I'm serving my audience or just my own ego. You'll discover why treating business development like a checklist routine misses genuine connection opportunities, and how staying invisible creates a vicious cycle where people can't trust what they can't see. I encourage you to ask yourself what the real cost of not showing up is, and I talk about what it means to me and my business.On the bright side of it all is this: if an introvert like me can push past the natural inclination to hide and show up consistently, anyone can do it. This is your permission slip to step out in whatever way works for you, build trust through authentic visibility and choose vibrant growth over stagnation. I'd love to hear what you think. Share this with your business mates who could use a nudge to show up more consistently. Let's do this together!Emma McQueen:WebsiteFor a copy of Emma's book, 'Go-getter: Raise your mojo, shift your mindset and thrive' – https://emmamcqueen.com.au/want-more/emmas-book/

Stop Hiding - Lee Adair by Amarillo Church of Christ Sermons

This Father's Day, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a soul-shaking, Spirit-filled word that cuts through shame, silence, and struggle with a blazing invitation: Stop Hiding Hope. Whether you had the blessing of a godly father—or carry the scars of absence, pain, or brokenness—this message reminds us that we all share a perfect Heavenly Father. One who protects, provides, and calls us His own. But this message goes deeper. It's not just about who your Father is... it's about what He's done for you—and why it's time to TELL IT. Are you in the test of your life? Has your joy, peace, marriage, or purpose been under fire? Pastor Travis prophetically declares that your test is the evidence of a coming testimony. It's not just a story—it's spiritual warfare. Your testimony is a weapon. It's a prophecy. It's the power of salvation for someone else. From the ashes of Job to the shout of the woman at the well, the Bible echoes with one truth: what God did for you, He wants to do through you. Your story is more than pain survived—it's hope revealed. But it only works if you stop hiding hope. It's time to go public with your story. Let your scars preach. Let your survival speak. Let your breakthrough roar louder than your breakdown. Because hell doesn't fear your church attendance—it fears your testimony.

In this Episode, I'm breaking down why overthinking, spiraling, and staying stuck in “healing loops” is often just a form of fear… and how true transformation begins the moment you declare what's already yours. How to Manifest by Embodying Your Next-Level Identity Now

What happens when your nervous system resets everything—your identity, your voice, your business? In this week's episode of Raving Coaches, I sat down with Michelle Holling-Brooks, founder of Unbridled Change, whose journey through a near-death coma and complete memory loss led her to rebuild her life (and eventually her coaching practice) from the ground up. We talk about how horses became her first teachers in healing, and how intuition, energy, and presence have become the foundation of her work with clients today. Michelle shares how she went from hiding behind what she calls her “science shield” to creating a powerful framework called The Bridge of Connection. She now helps clients move from fear into love—by befriending their nervous system, their inner critic, and every part of themselves they've been told to suppress. This one is for every coach who knows they're still only showing 50% of what they're capable of.

Frankie Russo is coming at you with fire, with inspiration, and with a powerful message about why your five-year-old self might hold the key to building better relationships.

In this follow-up episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back guest Barb Betts for a deeper dive into a powerful idea: the confidence to build a thriving law practice begins with embracing your authentic self. For lawyers, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a strategic advantage that drives client trust, firm growth, and personal satisfaction. Barb shares her powerful concept of “17 moments”—life-changing events like teenage pregnancy and severe hair loss—that taught her to stop hiding and stand in her truth. These moments are critical for attorneys, revealing the resilience and identity needed to navigate complex legal challenges. By reflecting on your own “17 moments,” you can show up as a confident expert, not a performer, in client meetings and courtrooms. Barb offers practical strategies for building a law firm with confidence: Price with Confidence: Stop people-pleasing and charge what your expertise is worth. Barb explains how underpricing stems from self-doubt, a common trap for solo attorneys. Be the Expert, Not a Performer: Clients hire you to solve problems they can't, from divorces to business disputes. Authenticity builds trust and fosters loyal client relationships. Embrace Self-Doubt: Imposter syndrome signals growth. Use it to refine your approach and strengthen your practice. Align Practice with Purpose: Authenticity creates a rewarding practice and a balanced life, fulfilling the Great Practice, Great Life ethos. This episode offers actionable insights to overcome self-doubt, stand firm in your value, and build a thriving practice. Tune in to learn how building a law firm with confidence transforms your client relationships, pricing strategy, and life. In this episode: Exploring authenticity as a pathway to genuine success in life and law with Barb Betts The power of “17 moments” that shape professional and personal identities Embracing vulnerability and self-awareness to enhance client relationships and personal fulfillment Differentiating between being an expert and a performer in the legal profession, and the impact on client relationships Navigating pricing strategies, avoiding people-pleasing, and standing firm in your value Using emotional intelligence and honest communication to build client trust Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself playing a grown-up version of hide and seek with God? In this raw and powerful episode, barber and TikTok influencer Dallas Noel opens her heart about the journey from spiritual hiding to authentic faith.Dallas takes us through her childhood marked by maternal abandonment and paternal abuse, sharing how these experiences distorted her view of God as someone to fear rather than trust. Her rebellious teenage years eventually led her father to drop her at her biological mother's doorstep in Spokane, Washington – a place where both her greatest struggles and most profound transformation would unfold.What sets this conversation apart is Dallas's refreshing honesty about mental health struggles within faith communities. "Mental health is a big deal," she emphasizes, "and it is a hidden thing. People don't want to talk about it." Her breakthrough came not through simple prayers but through a desperate cry to God after waking up unable to recognize herself in the mirror. The divine response she received – "Your drinking isn't the problem; your problems are the problems" – sparked a sobriety journey approaching three years.Now running Surrendered Studios on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where God specifically directed her, Dallas uses her barbering skills and a social media platform with over 130,000 followers to minister to hurting people. Her ministry philosophy is beautifully simple: "We are not just giving free haircuts and then saying good luck with your life. We are called to walk beside people who are still hurting, because I've been there."Whether you're battling addiction, questioning your faith, or simply feeling like you need to hide parts of yourself from God, Dallas's story reminds us that true transformation begins with radical honesty. As host Ron Myers reminds us, "He knows what you're going through. He's got his arms open. Just walk into his arms."Ready to quit playing hide and seek with God? Listen now and discover how coming out of hiding might be your first step toward authentic healing.If you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

In this episode, Debbie Millman shares how to begin—even when you feel unready, unqualified, or full of doubt. Debbie is a designer, author, educator, and host of the pioneering podcast Design Matters. She's also the chair of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts and editorial director at Print magazine. We talk about the creative risks Debbie took later in life, why fear and shame shaped her early path, and how she found fulfillment by making deeply personal work—without waiting for permission. From the grief of losing family to the joy of marrying at 57, this is a raw, powerful conversation about love, legacy, and the courage to start—even if you feel like a mess. Some highlights we explore: The myth of readiness – Why waiting to feel “good enough” keeps us stuck in place. Failures that shaped the path – From rejected applications to bad jobs, how struggle created space for clarity. Creating without permission – Why Debbie's most meaningful work began when she stopped waiting to be chosen. Enjoy!  

If you've been hurt by others SO many times that you can't face conflicts, disappointments and sad moments, – that's what I call playing small. And it stops you from being able to heal or change. Life involves friction. Facing it is how we grow. I played small for most of my life -- and maybe you have too. In this video -- part of a multi-part series -- I show you what I looked like when I played small (and what caused that), and what I look like now.
