As leaders, many of us are constantly juggling competing priorities, overflowing inboxes, and days that feel fuller than ever. It is easy to believe that adding more tasks, more tools, and more effort is the answer. But what if true productivity comes from doing less? In this episode of the Limitless Leaders Podcast, I sit [...]
Self-care isn't always about adding more to your skin care routine or journaling regimen; often, it starts with doing less. It's a simple, therapeutic reframe: what if the best thing you can do for your well-being, or your finances, is take something off your plate? If you're craving a low-maintenance life that actually supports your mental and financial health, this is your invitation to try a new and much gentler approach. In this episode, financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin explores self-care by subtraction. She shares how simplifying your money life can ease burnout, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with what actually matters.READ THIS INSTEADhttps://www.mindmoneybalance.com/blogandvideos/financial-self-care-by-subtraction
This week on Table Talk, Pastors Kyle Gatlin and Nick Shepherd discuss the concept of addition by subtraction as the final step in their series on going deeper with God. They argue that to truly grow spiritually, one must often remove things like distractions, time-consuming commitments, or unhealthy habits to create the necessary space for a deeper relationship with Jesus.The Pastors also explore the internal barriers of ego, pride, and people-pleasing. They examine how pride acts as a blinder to spiritual maturity and suggest that true depth requires the humility to admit when we are wrong. Finally, they tackle the danger of seeking approval from others, warning that while the church should value people over programs, the need to please everyone can ultimately hinder one's ability to be a true servant of Christ.HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
What happens when you stop trying so hard and learn to find power through subtraction rather than addition? Wing Chun training in a Hong Kong living room involves hours of standing still with no sparring, forcing practitioners to confront inner demons and abandon Western goal-seeking mentality. "I'll tell you, Craig, this was the hardest thing at that time that I had to go through, both physically and mentally, because […] it's just so difficult, you know, standing still there, not moving. It's just so difficult! All these inner demons start to come up. You start thinking, and you know, there's nowhere to hide." ~ Nima King (5:17) Nima King describes his journey from training as a teenaged bouncer in Sydney, to becoming a student of Grandmaster Chu in Hong Kong, where his expectations of intense sparring and rooftop battles were replaced by hours of standing practice in a small living room. The training focused on empty hand forms rather than fighting techniques, creating a physically and mentally challenging experience where inner demons surfaced and there was nowhere to hide. Grandmaster Chu provided hands-on guidance through tactile cues, manipulating posture and stance to help students release tension points gradually rather than through sudden breakthrough moments. The practice required abandoning the Western mindset of conceptualization and goal-seeking in favor of embodied experience, with Nima's teacher eventually banning him from asking questions to force this transition. The conversation explores how martial arts principles apply to modern life, including parenting and professional goals. Nima discusses the challenge of not trying too hard despite his natural inclination toward the mentality of pushing through pain and injury. The practice teaches that letting go of control represents a powerful act rather than laziness or apathy, and that vulnerability challenges conventional masculine ideals of strength through aggression. Grandmaster Chu exemplified this power through humility, always bowing lower and greeting students with warmth rather than displays of dominance. The art becomes about subtraction rather than accumulation, finding ways to achieve goals with less effort by allowing things to happen rather than forcing them. Takeaways Art of subtraction — The practice centers on removing tension and thinking rather than accumulating more techniques and knowledge. Embodied learning versus intellectual understanding — True martial arts mastery requires moving beyond conceptualization and goal-seeking to direct physical experience. Standing practice — Hours of stationary training in Wing Chun forms create confrontation with inner demons and reveal hidden tension points. Power through vulnerability — Real strength comes from humility and openness rather than aggression and displays of dominance. Letting go of control — Releasing the illusion of control represents a powerful and necessary practice in both martial arts and daily life. Western versus Eastern training approaches — The goal-oriented Western mindset conflicts with traditional Chinese martial arts teaching methods that resist curriculum and structure. Tactile teaching methods — Hands-on guidance through physical manipulation of posture and stance provides direct transmission of knowledge beyond verbal instruction. Marathon not sprint mentality — Sustainable practice requires wisdom about energy management and avoiding burnout despite natural inclinations to go all in. Teacher-student dynamics — A master may ban questions entirely to force students beyond intellectual grasping toward direct experience. Applying practice to parenting — Martial arts lessons about letting go transfer to raising children, finding balance between freedom and structure. Humble mastery — Grandmaster Chu demonstrated true power through kindness, bowing lower than students, and warmth rather than displays of superiority. Not trying too hard — Finding ways to achieve goals with less effort by allowing rather than forcing outcomes. Resources Mindful Wing Chun — Nima King's online training platform offering comprehensive instruction in the Wing Chun system as taught by Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin, featuring hundreds of hours of instructional videos focused on internal power development and mindful practice. Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin — Nima's Wing Chun teacher in Hong Kong, trained in traditional methods and taught in his living room. Grandmaster Jim Fung — Grandmaster Chu's student, who taught Wing Chun to thousands of students across Australia, under whom Nima began training at age 14.

Ever look at your to-do list and think, 'Cool, I'll just clone myself and maybe then I'll get it all done'? Yeah. Same. But here's the truth — overwhelm isn't a sign you're doing too little. It's a sign you're doing too much of the wrong stuff. Let's fix that. Feeling buried under your to-do list? You're not alone — but you don't have to live there. In this high-impact episode, April breaks down five simple, tactical moves that shift you from chaos to clarity. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or juggling it all, this episode will help you reclaim control, eliminate noise, and focus on what actually matters. Because you don't need more time — you need fewer distractions disguised as priorities. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ The 4-Step PivotMe Process Ask: Does this need to be done? Does it need to be done by me? If not, delegate, delay, or delete. Then check for OPP (Other People's Priorities), pick your one move that moves the needle, and execute with focus. 2️⃣ The Eisenhower Matrix Separate urgent from important: Urgent + important → Do now. Important + not urgent → Schedule. Urgent + not important → Delegate. Neither → Delete. 3️⃣ The 10X Filter Ask: "If I were operating at my 10X goal, would I be doing this?" Your next level requires next-level decisions. 4️⃣ The Pivot Pause Step away, breathe, and ask, "What actually needs to happen next?" Stillness creates clarity. 5️⃣ Time Blocking with Themes Batch your focus. Example: Monday: Strategy Tuesday: Clients Wednesday: Content Thursday: Networking Friday: Financials Context-switching drains energy — batching restores it. Bonus: Write your Stop-Doing List. Subtraction equals freedom. Quotes "Not every fire deserves your water." "You win the day by finishing, not by juggling." "You can't 10X your life doing the same things you did at 2X." "Stillness creates clarity — not chaos." Action Steps ✅ Run your to-do list through the 4-Step PivotMe Filter. ✅ Create your own Eisenhower Matrix and start deleting what doesn't matter. ✅ Ask the 10X question before saying yes. ✅ Schedule your Pivot Pause — don't wait for burnout to do it. ✅ Build a Time-Blocked Week that aligns with your future self. When you're overwhelmed, stop reacting and start pivoting. You don't need more caffeine — you need more clarity. One focus, one day, one pivot at a time.
Government shutdowns? Market shake-ups? Forget the panic. Meg and Chari talk about the real flex: letting go of what doesn't serve you. Because freedom doesn't come from adding more; it starts when you finally subtract.

When I was a kid, I said things like, “I won't forget,” or “When I'm a dad, I won't get mad.” Or…”I'm bored.”But as you get older, and life puts you in various, unforeseen situations, it's easy to get blindsided and react in a way you hoped you wouldn't.I think about this a lot when I consider what's changed between turn 20 and turn 40. And there's a common theme that has cropped up: pruning.Letting go of what doesn't work. Of where you used to spend your energy. About making more space in your life for the things that matter.And I thought that there was no better person to bring on to talk about this than my friend, fellow freelancer, and fellow father, Austin L. Church. He's a deep thinker, committed family man, and wants to help people.Looking to prune what's stealing your energy? Take the Business Overwhelm Diagnostic.Top TakeawaysFluff vs. value in business books — many books stretch one idea into 300 pages, but the best insights are usually old, durable ideas worth revisiting.Growth by subtraction — focus and pruning beat doing “all the things.” Fractured attention leads to mediocre results.Attention as water — what you focus on grows. Stop “watering” indignation and instead nurture gratitude, creativity, and presence.Values over virality — not all success is worth emulating. If someone's optimizing for attention or wealth at all costs, that doesn't mean you should.Parenting parallels — kids remember how you respond more than what you say. Choosing patience, presence, and love shapes both them and you.“These are the good old days” — a simple mindset shift that makes it easier to stay present with family and avoid regrets later.LinksAustin's post on pruningAustin L.

In this episode of Convergence.fm, Ashok Sivanand sits down with Farhan Thawar, Head of Engineering at Shopify, to go behind the scenes of how Shopify not only keeps pace with rapid change but leads it. The discussion explores how Shopify became one of the first platforms to allow merchants to sell products directly inside ChatGPT, why that move challenges Amazon's dominance, and what it takes to build a company that learns faster than it fails. Farhan explains the systems that make being first repeatable rather than accidental, including Shopify's internal LLM proxy, MCP servers, experimentation culture, and democratized tooling. If you are a CEO, COO, or CTO looking to scale through culture, systems, and intentional technology adoption, this episode shows what it looks like to operate with conviction and long-term relevance. Key Topics and Moments: Shopify and OpenAI's commerce integration. The same day OpenAI enabled in-chat shopping, Shopify merchants were already live. Farhan explains what it takes for a company of Shopify's size to move with that kind of speed Competing with Amazon through culture, not size. Shopify has 3,000 engineers compared to Amazon's 35,000+, yet continues to outpace bigger players by focusing on coherence, focus, and empowered execution rather than bureaucracy and scale. The meaning behind Tobi Lütke's April AI memo. Farhan discusses how Shopify operationalized its “AI is non-optional” stance, what baseline expectations look like, and how performance is evaluated in an AI-native organization. AI reflexivity and the “three buckets.” Farhan explains how teams are taught to recognize “AI not allowed,” “AI optional,” and “AI mandatory” problems so that employees develop instinct for when to reach for AI — and when to pick up the screwdriver. The risk of ‘vibe coding' and why hand tools still matter. Farhan shares lessons from real incidents inside and outside Shopify, like the Cloudflare outage caused by unreviewed AI-generated code, and how engineering leaders teach judgment, not just prompting. The LLM Proxy and MCP Servers. Inside look at how Shopify democratized AI across departments by building an internal platform that connects all major models and corporate data sources, enabling every employee to build workflows and ask intelligent questions — not just engineers. AI budgeting vs. SaaS budgeting. Farhan explains why AI usage isn't treated like traditional SaaS spend and how Shopify encourages heavy experimentation by rewarding impact rather than punishing token consumption. Experimentation as a system. How teams are encouraged to show work at 20%, not 80%, and why the speed of learning, not perfection, is the true productivity metric. Subtraction as leadership. Farhan shares how founders and executives must delete outdated processes, rules, and layers of bureaucracy to make room for new ideas — why process should only exist if it makes something possible or 10x better. Hiring and growing AI-native talent. Why Shopify doubled down on internships, hiring 1,000 interns this year and next, and how younger engineers push full-timers to stay current by being born AI-native “centaurs.” Responsibility versus accountability. Why leaders can delegate tasks but not responsibility, and how to stay in the work without disempowering the team. Certainty as intolerance. Farhan's reflection on why overconfidence kills creativity, and how leaders can replace fixed beliefs with wayfinding, curiosity, and adaptive decision-making. Rapid-fire reflections for CEOs. Ashok and Farhan close with lessons on showing unfinished work, modeling curiosity, and removing friction as a cultural operating system. Who Should Listen: Mid-market CEOs, COOs, and CTOs building adaptable organizations that can scale. Leaders focused on culture and transformation, not just technology adoption. Operators who want to apply product thinking and modern software practices to traditional industries. Notable Quotes: “We have a baseline expectation of using AI. If you have two people, one using AI and one not, they will both be evaluated the same.” – Farhan Thawar on AI usage expectations “We don't like waste, but we don't have limits. If you believe in your workflow, use the best model for your problem solving.” – Farhan Thawar on AI token cost and consumption “You can now buy directly in chat from Shopify merchants. That is a major shift in how people discover and buy online.” – Ashok Sivanand on Shopify launching all their merchants on ChatGPT's Shop feature on the very day it was launched Related Reading and References: Shopify Blog: Shopify and OpenAI bring commerce to ChatGPT (official announcement) - https://www.shopify.com/news/shopify-open-ai-commerce?podconvergence Reuters: OpenAI partners with Shopify, Stripe, and others to expand ChatGPT integrations - https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/openai-partners-with-etsy-shopify-chatgpt-checkout-2025-09-29/?podconvergence TechCrunch: Inside Tobi Lütke's AI Memo and Shopify's Cultural Shift - https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/07/shopify-ceo-tells-teams-to-consider-using-ai-before-growing-headcount/?podconvergence Farhan's opinions about token consumption - https://x.com/fnthawar/status/1930367595670274058 Farhan's article about “looking stupid”- https://medium.com/helpful-com/why-looking-stupid-is-my-superpower-2ee3fe00a748?podconvergence The Convergence.fm first episode with Farhan in 2024 - https://convergence.fm/episode/from-code-to-culture-how-shopify-thrives-under-farhan-thawars-thought-leadership The Convergence.fm Episode about Tobi Lütke's leaked AI memo mandate, and our 6 takeaways - https://convergence.fm/episode/shopifys-leaked-ai-mandate-explained-6-takeaways-for-your-product-team Tobi's memo Tweet - https://x.com/tobi/status/1909231499448401946 Unreasonable Hospitality (book) - https://www.amazon.com/Unreasonable-Hospitality-Remarkable-Giving-People/dp/0593418573 Farhan's Twitter (public handle) - https://x.com/fnthawar Reflection and Action Steps: Start with your mission.

Consider introducing internal forums or “thinking clubs” that encourage curiosity and reflection across your team.

Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns and Rewiring Your Brain for Success Rewire Your Brain: Adele Spraggon on Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns Like many of you, I've seen firsthand how money stories and old habits can run our lives without us even realizing it. I work with business owners every day who want more profit, more freedom, but they're trapped in repeating cycles—just like I've been in my own journey. Our guest today, Adele Spraggon, is an award-winning author, international speaker, and behavioral change expert. In her book Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment, Adele reveals how the brain runs on hidden patterns that keep us stuck—and more importantly, how to rewire them for freedom and success. This isn't about willpower or positive thinking. It's about giving your brain the tools to let go of what no longer serves you, and allowing new patterns to emerge that fit the life you actually want. 5 Key Insights from Adele Spraggon: We Live by Patterns, Not Choices. Most of what we call “decisions” are actually neural pathways our brain built in the past. We're on autopilot more than we realize. Reflection: Which area of your life feels stuck on repeat Change Happens by Subtraction, Not Addition. Instead of piling on more strategies, affirmations, or tools, Adele teaches that true freedom comes by removing unhelpful patterns. Reflection: What would shift if you stopped adding solutions and simply let go of the root problem? The Body Holds the Truth. While the mind replays the past and projects the future, the body is always in the present. By tuning into sensations and emotions, we discover the real issues beneath the surface. Reflection: What is your body telling you about the problems you keep circling? Surrender is Not Weakness. Letting go isn't giving up—it's becoming a witness to what's actually happening inside. From that space, old patterns naturally dissolve. Reflection: Where in your life are you resisting instead of surrendering? Identity is Fluid, Not Fixed. We're not one static self. We're shape-shifters, capable of adopting new identities as we rewire our brains. Change is easier than we think—once we know how. Reflection: Who could you become if you stopped clinging to outdated labels? Money Learnings: Adele grew up in a home where money was either abundant or scarce, with nothing in between. That volatility shaped her early patterns around spending and saving—habits that drained her account as quickly as money came in. Her story is a reminder: your financial results often mirror the unconscious money patterns you inherited. Until you rewire them, the cycle continues. Key Takeaway: True empowerment doesn't come from forcing yourself to be different. It comes from recognizing the brain patterns that no longer serve you and giving yourself permission to let them go. About Adele Spraggon: Adele Spraggon is an award-winning author, international speaker, and trainer recognized for her expertise in behavioral change. She has been awarded the 2020 Woman of Inspiration Award and is the author of Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment. With a master's degree in humanities, a lifetime of teaching, and a deep study of neuroscience and psychology, Adele helps people across the globe break free from hidden mental patterns and step into lives of freedom, peace, and purpose. Through her work, Adele has empowered thousands to rewrite their inner programming, overcome self-sabotage, and unlock the adaptability that makes change not only possible, but natural.

What would it mean to live a regret-free life, starting today? In this “Best of MKM” episode from 2022, I sit down with Jordan Grumet, a hospice doctor and author of Taking Stock, to explore how confronting death can help us live more intentionally. Jordan shares powerful stories from his hospice work, the deep regrets he's heard at the end of life, and how we can avoid them by embracing purpose, identity, and connection now. We discuss the trap of chasing net worth and job titles, the tension between FIRE and YOLO, and practical frameworks to align your money with what truly matters. Whether you're striving toward financial independence or simply seeking more meaning in your day-to-day, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and act with intention. If you've ever felt stuck on autopilot, this conversation with Jordan Grumet is a wake-up call to reassess your priorities and build a life with fewer regrets.

Rakesh Kilaru is a partner at Wilkinson Stekloff, a litigation boutique. In this episode we discuss these frame-shifting principles:- Be a trial generalist, not a subject-matter silo. Position the firm (and yourself) as first resort for trials across domains, so calls keep coming even as subject areas cycle.- Choose environments that improve decisions. A fixed-fee model (no billables) removes distortions, encourages collaboration, and lets teams right-size effort to outcomes. - Working with other firms and against elite opponents creates a constant idea pipeline.- People + process first. Map the real stakeholders, build trust on both sides, and make sure everyone who needs a say is actually in the loop before deciding

From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body.

In this episode, I share about one of the loneliest and weirdest seasons I've walked through in recent years—the strange territory of being nobody where you used to be somebody. It's been over a year since I stepped away from church staff, and I'm only now finding words for this peculiar experience.When you transition away from ministry leadership, you don't just leave a job—you lose your immediate answer to who you are and what you do. You enter an awkward no man's land where you're still supposed to show up every week because it's "church family," but your role and relationships have fundamentally changed in ways nobody really prepared you for.I talk honestly about the identity earthquake that happens when your name is no longer attached to a spiritual job description, the grief of going from essential to optional, and why learning to be a normal person is harder than it looks. I also share about the unexpected freedom I've discovered in functional obscurity and why I now pray for this gift for all my ministry friends.This episode is for anyone navigating the awkward dance of staying put when everything has changed, for those wondering if they've made a terrible mistake or discovered a beautiful freedom, and for ministry leaders who need to know they're not crazy for feeling what they're feeling during transition seasons.Sometimes the most profound spiritual formation happens not through addition but through subtraction—and sometimes God reveals who we are not by giving us more responsibility but by taking away what we thought defined us.

Why do we instinctively add more—but rarely consider taking things away? In this episode, Leidy Klotz joins us to explore the hidden power of subtraction and why our brains are wired to overlook it.
