The wrong business partner will cost you everything. Here's how to know who to trust. Most businesses fail not because of a bad idea, bad product, or bad timing. They fail because of bad PARTNERS. People who don't share your values. People who steal. People who see you as a paycheck instead of a partner. People who make "doggy bags" to take home instead of building the table with you. In this raw conversation, Eric Thomas, CJ Quinney, Karl Phillips, and Jemal King break down the brutal truth about business partnerships - what destroys them, - what makes them work, - Why starting small is the only path to building big, - And real proof this approach works (six-figure real estate checks, zero student debt, generational wealth from $50/paycheck). This is Part 2 of our two-part series. If you missed Part 1 (Episode 528), go watch the wife haircut debate now!

If there were a magic bullet in business, we'd all be using it.And we'd all be successful.But there isn't.As pelvic rehab providers, we get frustrated when patients come in looking for the one magic pill, surgery, technique, or device that will instantly fix everything. We know better. We know outcomes are about consistency, skill, time, and effort.And then we turn around and do the exact same thing in our businesses.In this episode, we talk honestly about the ways practice owners distract themselves chasing shortcuts instead of doing the work that actually grows a business.We break down common “magic bullet” traps:Facebook or Instagram ads will fix everythingSelling a course will create passive incomeTelehealth will magically expand your reachBuying expensive equipment (Shockwave, RTUS, Emsella, red light therapy) will generate leadsRenting space from a physician who will “definitely” refer patientsGetting another certification that patients aren't asking aboutNone of these are inherently bad.But none of them are magic.At the end of the day, business success is a simple formula:Clear direction × Hard workYou have to know where you're going. You have to know what actually matters. And you have to be willing to put in the work.If you do that, you'll build something meaningful. If you keep chasing shortcuts, you'll stay stuck.This episode is tough love — but it's the kind that moves you forward.About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 800+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email (nicole@pelvicsanity.com).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!

Love and relationships are at the heart of the human experience, yet navigating them in today's world can feel confusing, disappointing, and often painful. Today's conversation explores what it means to truly lead with love and how to break free from patterns that keep us stuck.   Brandon Collingsworth is a poet, philosopher, and teacher whose work centers on the transformative power of love. We connected in Bali and immediately dove into deep conversations about Love, both universal and personal, and the complexities of the heart.   In this episode, we explore:

In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Linda Li for a raw, honest conversation about love, dating, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns. We explore why the very traits that attract us to someone often become the things that trigger us later, how unrealistic expectations sabotage long-term love, and why choosing a partner is less about finding “the one” and more about becoming the person who can sustain a healthy relationship. Linda shares insights from her experience going on 150 first dates, what dating apps really are (and aren't), and how desperation, timelines, and romantic fantasies quietly push love away. We also talk about embodiment, boundaries, masculine and feminine energy, and why building a full life first is the fastest way to attract the right partner. This episode is for anyone who: Feels stuck repeating the same dating patterns Is tired of chasing love or settling out of fear Wants a grounded, mature perspective on modern dating Is ready to choose love from wholeness, not lack If you've ever thought, “Why does this keep happening to me?” — this conversation will change how you see relationships forever.

Most people confuse a "career in real estate" with a high-stress job, but the real goal is to stop trading your time for money and start letting your properties work for you. In this episode, Kris Krohn and his leadership team reveal why being a real estate agent or landlord might actually be holding you back from true wealth. Learn the three phases of shifting from an employee mindset to a professional investor who leverages systems, teams, and "good debt" to make thousands of dollars per hour.

You understand the problem. The explanation makes sense. You even feel that brief moment of clarity. And yet, something still doesn't settle. So you keep searching, not for information, but for relief. This is about that loop, why it's so hard to stop looking for answers, and what might actually be missing when nothing seems to stick.

In this episode, Arnold shares a powerful story about bringing a friend to one of Austria's most treacherous ski runs—and the unexpected lesson that emerged when fear turned to tears at the top of the mountain. What happened on that slope reveals a truth about capability that applies to anyone feeling overwhelmed by a health journey, career challenge, or life goal.Arnold also discusses a groundbreaking study from the VITAL trial, which found that a simple, affordable daily habit slowed cellular aging by about 3 years. Plus, new research on why the speed of your body's temperature drop before bed matters more than your room temperature—and the surprising finding that small acts of kindness for others beat self-care for reducing anxiety, depression, and loneliness during stressful seasons.Tired of fitness and nutrition plans that don't work?

"Just take 400mg of vitamin B2 every day, it might be the missing piece for your migraines!" If you've been on social media lately, you've probably heard this advice. Maybe from a doctor. Maybe multiple times. Vitamin B2, CoQ10, magnesium, the miracle nutrient parade never ends. In this episode, I'm explaining about why this drives me crazy. Here's the thing: People have been getting the B2 recommendation for decades. Even conventional neurologists are recommending it now. And yet, chronic migraines keep getting worse. If you have an occasional headache and happen to have a tiny B2 deficiency, and your digestion is working perfectly, and you don't have metabolic waste buildup, sure, B2 might help. But if you have chronic migraines? It's not a B2 issue. By the time you're experiencing chronic migraines, you have blockers and deficiencies across all three principles your body needs to maintain health. You're not just missing one vitamin. It goes deeper than that. I also address the anxiety around "genetic migraines." Yes, there's a hereditary component, the ancient Greeks wrote about this. But you're not genetically doomed. You have to fall out of health first before you express those hereditary tendencies. Chasing silver bullet supplements will only frustrate you. Start addressing the root causes.

From zero to millions without capital: Why Africa's 80% self-employed economy requires a different playbook - and the mindset shift that changes everything. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, a seasoned African entrepreneur returns to shatter the Western business model myth that's keeping young Africans broke and waiting for investors who never come. After building multiple businesses across construction, agriculture, fashion retail, and real estate development, this engineering graduate reveals why copying Silicon Valley's "idea-to-investor" formula is killing African entrepreneurship. The conversation exposes a fundamental truth: while 80% of Ghanaians create their own income, young graduates are still chasing the 20% of jobs that don't exist, waiting for capital that won't come, and following business models designed for economies where 90% are employed. The guest shares his painful journey from being owed millions while owing others, to realizing that building for clients meant they owned the assets while he owned the stress. Critical revelations include: • Why "I am the capital" isn't motivational fluff but mathematical reality in African markets • The concentration of knowledge principle: How reading becomes overflow that must find expression • Why building projects for others vs. building your own changes everything about wealth creation • The African business model: Start with what you have, not what investors might give • How intellectual capital trumps financial capital in economies without structured funding • The mindset prison: Why your teacher's broke mentality is your biggest barrier to success • Why liberating African minds matters more than just creating jobs From writing life goals after National Service to reading through two years of waiting for university admission, from engineering mathematics to African consciousness, this episode traces the evolution from employee mindset to entrepreneurial thinking. The guest challenges the startup culture obsession with raising capital, revealing how his grandparents built businesses without pitch decks, how market women create empires without MBAs, and why the person asking for blocks to sell is closer to success than the graduate waiting for seed funding. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative insight: changing mindsets will transform Africa faster than building businesses, because businesses built on colonial thinking patterns will never achieve true liberation. This isn't about motivation - it's about recognizing that in economies where formal structures don't exist, your knowledge, relationships, and willingness to start are the only capital that matters.

We all carry invisible chains: beliefs like "I'm not enough," "I'm not ready," or "What if I fail?" The real cage isn't the world around us; it's the story we've been told about who we're allowed to be. Because freedom doesn't come from trying harder, proving more, or fitting into someone else's mold, it comes from letting go. In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Jennifer Pastiloff, author and speaker, whose new book Proof of Life explores the powerful act of reclaiming permission to exist fully in your own body, voice, and life. After years of self-doubt, shame, and self-abandonment, Jennifer shares how healing began with learning to speak her truth out loud. We dive into Jennifer's journey of self-discovery, which was shaped by moments of struggle, loss, and personal awakening. In this Conversation, we explore:  How to recognize your “inner asshole” and stop believing its lies Why speaking your truth out loud is where healing begins What “heart-sight” means and how to listen to it The trap of “when I get there, then I'll be happy” How making bad art can actually set you free Why finding your “I got you” people changes everything The lesson grief teaches us about living now, not later If you've ever struggled with shame or felt disconnected from yourself, this conversation is a beacon back home.

Love shows up the moment you stop chasing and finally let go. In this episode I'll share why attachment creates resistance, how childhood patterns of validation keep love “out there,” and the shift that makes you magnetic.

We all face mountains in our lives—the audacious goals, the life-changing dreams, the daunting challenges that stand between who we are and who we want to be. When the climb gets tough, the air gets thin, and our legs start to burn, the temptation to turn back is powerful. But the mountain has one, simple rule.   In a recent episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, the hosts drew inspiration from the incredible Netflix documentary 14 Peaks to deliver a masterclass on perseverance. The lesson, taken from mountaineer Nirmal Purja, is as harsh as it is true: "The mountains do not say you are black, you are white, you are weak, you are strong. It's one rule for everybody. If you give up, you die." Key Highlights from the Discussion The Mountain Doesn't Care Who You Are: Your goal is impartial. It doesn't care about your excuses, your financial status, your race, or your gender. It only responds to one thing: relentless, forward motion. When you give up on your dream, the dream dies—and a part of you dies with it. Stop Looking for the Easy Button: We live in a culture that sells the fantasy of overnight success. But as the hosts argue, there is no magic pill. Significant achievements require work, discipline, and the commitment to keep going when results are slow to appear. Take Inventory of Your Team: This was the episode's most powerful piece of actionable advice. You cannot climb your mountain alone, and not everyone can make the journey with you. At least twice a year, you must take inventory of your environment. Ask yourself: "Are the people around me supporting my climb, or are they weighing me down?" It's not about cutting people out of your life, but about strategically surrounding yourself with the "who" that can help you with the "how." Your Perseverance Blazes a Trail for Others: Your decision to keep climbing isn't just about you. When the 14 Peaks team summited K2 after everyone else had given up, they inspired 24 other climbers to reach the peak. When you refuse to quit, you create a path and show others what is possible. You Hold the Key: Ultimately, success is not determined by your circumstances. You are the only one who holds the key to your dream. The question is, are you willing to turn it by putting in the work and taking action? The Takeaway Your dream is waiting for you at the summit. The journey will be hard, and you will be tested. But the mountain's rule is the only one that matters. Take inventory of your team, embrace the work, and be relentless. Don't just climb your mountain—show others how it's done.  

Let's talk about why you keep looking for your met needs in someone or something else…Here is some nuance on the difference between being defensive and giving clarification: Defending is often a reaction rooted in fear. Clarifying is a response rooted in presence. Defending says: “You're wrong about me — and I must protect myself.” Clarifying says: “Let me share what I meant, so we can truly understand one another.” One contracts, the other expands. One builds walls, the other builds bridges. ✨ So the spiritual practice becomes: noticing when you are tempted to defend, pausing, and asking — “Can I transmute this into clarifying instead? Can I polish the window instead of raising the shield?” You are here. This is what alignment feels like. I create tools to support your Earth Journey while you awaken to your inner divinity.

Send us a textThis week on the podcast I got to talk with Catherine Marston—a mom, health coach, author, and 14-time Ironman triathlete (yes, you read that right…14!). Catherine's story is one of grief, resilience, and learning how to take small, consistent steps toward healing and strength.She shares about losing her daughter Helen, how she processed that deep grief, and the ways she found power in self-acceptance and exercise. I loved how real she was about starting small—sometimes just 10 minutes of movement—and how that shift can completely change the way we feel in our bodies and lives.We also talked about her book Finding My Stride: A Guide to Finding Power, Raising a Child with Special Needs, which offers guiding principles for parents navigating both caregiving and grief. Catherine reminds us that while there may be no “way out,” there is always a way through.Get The Special Needs Mom Survival Pack HEREConnect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/

We know why Vladimir Putin has leverage over Trump, and it's not the goddamned pee tape. Trump has survived for the last eight years--not just the Russian investigation, but his first impeachment, his second impeachment, January 6, stealing classified documents--by claiming every push for accountability was just a hoax by Hillary Clinton. Russia Russia Russia. But Putin has proof that Trump knows Hillary didn't frame him--instead, Russian spies framed her. And if he released that, it would destroy the very means by which Trump has avoided accountability for eight years.

The Cardinals are clinging to life in the Wild Card race, and we've got updates on Yadier Molina's involvement, Lars Nootbaar's bruised knee, and Nolan Arenado's shoulder recovery plan.

We break down Quinn Matthews' hot streak, Jordan Walker's encouraging offensive signs, and Kyle Leahy's potential leap forward. Then, we preview the upcoming Yankees and Marlins series, plus check in on league news as the Brewers keep rolling and the Twins' sale falls through. Have a question or comment for the show?

Are you constantly worried about what others think of you? Do you find yourself over-explaining, people-pleasing, or censoring your truth just to be accepted? In this powerful episode, we uncover the science and psychology behind the deep human need for external validation — and why chasing approval is slowly draining your confidence, clarity, and peace.  Let's Break Down: *Why your brain craves acceptance (hint: it's wired into your survival system)  *How childhood conditioning trains you to abandon yourself to be liked *The connection between people-pleasing, fawning, and nervous system dysregulation *Why rejection feels like danger (even when it's not) *The high cost of living for approval — and how to stop This episode is for anyone who feels trapped in the loop of proving, performing, and perfecting just to feel “enough.” I'll give you the insight — and the tools — to stop living for applause and start living in alignment with who you truly are.

Here's a scenario that'll hit close to home: What do you do when you were crushing your numbers just months ago, but now you can't seem to close anything and your confidence is in the gutter? That's exactly what happened to Dhruv, a business development rep from Saint Louis. After figuring out his rhythm in Q1 and hitting strong performance numbers, he found himself in a two-month slump with low attainment and shattered confidence. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. Every sales professional faces these valleys, and how you respond determines whether you bounce back stronger or spiral further down. The Confidence Crisis: When Success Breeds Complacency Dhruv's story reveals a pattern I see constantly in sales organizations. After a strong Q1, he got comfortable. His dials dropped. He thought he had it all figured out. Sound familiar? Here's the brutal truth: Success without discipline is temporary. The moment you stop following the process that got you there, you're setting yourself up for a fall. When things started going sideways in April, Dhruv did what most salespeople do—he panicked. He started questioning everything, looking for new scripts on LinkedIn, using AI to find the "perfect" approach. Everything except the one thing that would actually help: going back to basics. The Fundamentals Never Go Out of Style I told Dhruv about John Smoltz, the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who spoke at an event I attended. Smoltz explained that when baseball players get into a slump, they start changing everything—looking for magic pills, new techniques, secret solutions. But here's what champions do differently: They go back to the fundamentals. Take Kobe Bryant. Every morning at 4 AM, he'd spend three to four hours working on the same basic skills he learned as a kid. The fundamentals that made him great in the first place. The same principle applies to fanatical prospecting. When you're in a slump, you don't need new techniques—you need to execute the proven process with precision and discipline. Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals: The Confidence Builder When your confidence is shaken, outcome goals become your enemy. Focusing on "I need to close three deals this week" when you're struggling just adds pressure and anxiety. Instead, shift to process goals: How many calls will you make today? Are you using your five-step framework consistently? Are you delivering your ledge statements with conviction? Are you following up with discipline? I shared with Dhruv my own experience from when I was 24 and going through a terrible quarter. I was so down I didn't want to come to work. Here's how I climbed out: I started with 10-minute call blocks. Call for 10 minutes, then read three pages of an inspirational sales book as a reward. Rinse and repeat. Within 30 days, I was performing well. Within 90 days, I was the number one rep in my region. The key wasn't finding a secret technique. It was trusting the process in shorter, manageable increments. The Economic Reality: When Markets Tighten, Double Down Dhruv's slump coincided with companies pulling back on spending. But here's what most reps get wrong: When markets tighten, you need to make more calls, not fewer. The prospects with budget and urgency are still out there, they're just harder to find. That means more activity, not less. More discipline, not shortcuts. This is exactly what I cover in Selling in a Crisis—when economic conditions get tough, the fundamentals become even more critical. Your Confidence Comeback Action Plan If you're in a confidence slump right now, here's your roadmap back: Stop Looking for Magic Solutions Get off LinkedIn. Stop asking AI for the perfect script. The answer isn't out there—it's in the process you already know works. Break It Down When confidence is low, work in shorter blocks. Fifteen-minute call sessions with quick wins and self-recognition for executing the p...

Fifteen-minute call sessions with quick wins and self-recognition for executing the process correctly. Focus on the Process Track your activities, not just your outcomes. How many dials? How many conversations? How many discovery questions asked? Celebrate the process execution. Get Back to Your Routine Just like my golf recovery story, when things go sideways, don't change everything—get back to your proven routine and rhythm. Double Down on Activity If the market is tighter, you need more activity to find the same opportunities. More calls, more emails, more touchpoints. The Mental Game: Confidence Comes From Within Here's what I told Dhruv, and what I'm telling you: I can't give you confidence. Confidence comes from the inside, not from the outside. Yes, success builds confidence. But when you're not getting external validation, the only place confidence comes from is your commitment to the process. Every time you make that call when you don't feel like it, every time you follow the script when you want to wing it, every time you push through the discomfort—that's where real confidence is built. The Bottom Line Your slump isn't permanent. Your confidence crisis isn't career-ending. But your response determines everything. Stop looking for shortcuts. Stop changing what already worked. Trust the process that got you there in the first place, and execute it with the discipline of a champion. Remember: The fundamentals never fail—we just fail to execute them consistently. Get back to basics. Trust the process. Make the calls. That's how you build lasting confidence. That's how you turn slumps into comebacks. And that's how you develop into an elite sales professional who can weather any storm. Ready to master the fundamentals that build unshakeable confidence?

Today's poem is Stop Looking At My Last Name Like That by Michael Torres.The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Tracy K. Smith's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on May 19, 2020. In this episode, Tracy writes… “Rationally speaking, I know that another person's bigoted thinking is their problem, not mine. But it's hard to leave it at that. It's hard to accept that sometimes my race causes another person to jump to conclusions about what I know or have or deserve… and what I don't.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.
