Success doesn't come from flashy moments. It comes from showing up—every day—long after most people quit. In this episode, Trent sits down with Tyler Morris—entrepreneur, investor, and what Trent calls a professional grinder. Tyler didn't come from privilege or shortcuts. He grew up in a small town, learned early how to work without recognition, and built his career by outworking, outlasting, and out-learning the competition. After a successful eight-figure exit, Tyler didn't slow down—because grinding isn't a phase, it's who he is. Together, Trent and Tyler unpack: Why being underestimated can be a competitive advantage The difference between grinding and burning out Why alignment beats talent every time How delegation separates small business owners from real operators Why adding value to others is often the fastest way out of a personal or professional low point This is a masterclass in discipline, humility, and long-term thinking. Key Themes & Lessons Winners don't wait for perfect conditions—they prepare Confidence comes from preparation, not ego Teams win championships, not individuals The grind never ends—you just get better at it When you're down, go help someone else Resources Mentioned M2 Digital Marketing Group – Website strategy & growth-focused digital marketing Concept: Minders, Finders, and Grinders (knowing your lane) Athletic mindset applied to entrepreneurship Long-game execution over short-term wins Connect with Tyler Here - https://calendly.com/tylermorris22/schedule_conversation If this episode challenged you, don't keep it to yourself.
On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate gives his farewell as the host of Michigan Wild moving forward.

He plans on still doing content and some guest co-hosting in the upcoming weeks and months and encourages anyone to follow along on social media to see the direction he ends up going. It's fitting that for the farewell episode Nate has the opportunity to record once again with Robert McIntyre after a successful late season hunt.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of Finally the Big Show – Step 7: The Hidden Need, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most paradoxical moves in EFT: helping clients access and ask for their deepest attachment needs. They explore why secure attachment is all about needs, yet why going for need too early is a clinical trap that invites blame, reactivity, and the negative cycle to take over. Using rich metaphors—from ER triage to math progression to “ESPN tickers from hell”—they walk you through how to seed need from the very beginning, how to recognize when couples are truly ready (double greens), and how to move from hypothetical “someday” needs to live, in‑the‑room Step 7 enactments. Episode Highlights - Why “need” is both central and dangerous - Secure attachment = meeting needs through responsiveness and caregiving. - But in Stage 1, asking “What do you need?” usually invites blame and negative model of other (“I need my partner to do their work”). - The developmental order: don't jump to trigonometry - Needs work in Step 7 is like trig/calculus; Stage 1 work is basic math. - You can't skip the progression: tracking the cycle, working blocks, primary emotion, softening/acceptance, then deepest need. - Seeding need long before Step 7 - Use language like, “This is what your heart needed here…” throughout Stage 1. - By the time you explicitly go for need, it should have been seeded dozens of times. - Double green lights and safety conditions - Only consider Step 7 when both partners are “double green”: open, present, non‑reactive. - This is the one place Ryan will not enact into a block; the caregiving response must be highly likely to land. - Pre‑7: loading reluctance to reach - Use a “7A / pre‑seven” move: enact the fear of reaching (“In this place I feel so gross, I don't deserve comfort”). - This both crystallizes the sufferer's dilemma and awakens the caregiver to what's really at stake. - How to actually load the need - James' path: - Strong use of self (embody and mirror pain). - Slow, detailed evoking in the body (“Where do you feel this right now?”). - Gentle curiosity: “If we could listen to that part of you, what would it cry out for right here, right now?” - Ryan's path: - Use guided hypotheticals (e.g., next Tuesday in the kitchen after a bad day). - Ask, “Your partner really sees you in that place and comes to you—what would they say or do that would ease this pain?” - Then re‑enter the present so it becomes an in‑the‑room enactment, not just a fantasy. - From hypothetical to live Step 7 enactment - The key is reentry: “Can we let that need be here now, in your body, in this room? Could you turn and ask your partner for that right now?” - If it stays hypothetical (“It would be nice if someday you could…”), it's not Step 7.Using attachment history as a compass - Draw on earlier assessment work: - Who felt safe? - How did people respond when you were in pain? - What would you say now to the younger you who was hurting? - Those answers often preview the exact Step 7 need (e.g., “You're okay, buddy, just like you are”). - Normalizing “I don't know” and therapist awkwardness - “I don't know what I need” is not a block; it's exactly where years of defense have left them. - Therapists don't have to be smooth; they have to be slow, thoughtful, and present. - A caregiver saying, “I don't know what to say, but I'm here,” can be a beautiful A.R.E. response. - Training and community notes - Core Skills 3 & 4 in Huntington, WV (Jan 15–17, 2026). - Externship in Virginia Beach, VA (Sept 15–18, 2026) with repeaters at 50% off.

What happens when everything is working… but something feels quietly off at home? This episode speaks to a reality many entrepreneurs live but rarely name. You're building, growing, succeeding — and yet the connection in your closest relationship feels thinner, quieter, less alive than it used to. Not because of conflict. Not because anyone did anything wrong. But because success subtly reshapes how your nervous system, attention, and presence operate. In this deeply grounding conversation, Yvonne Trost explores how entrepreneurship can unintentionally create emotional distance — even in loving, committed partnerships — and what actually restores closeness without sacrificing ambition. You'll learn: Why high performers don't lose love — they lose available attention How emotional distance often shows up as silence, not conflict Why "ambition vs intimacy" is a false choice The specific conversations that rebuild emotional safety and closeness A simple, proven weekly check-in used by high-level couples to prevent drift before resentment forms This isn't about working less, wanting less, or fixing your partner. It's about learning how to stay emotionally reachable while your life expands. If you've ever thought, "Nothing is wrong… so why do I feel disconnected?" — this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you a practical way to come back to each other. Because success doesn't have to take you away from love. With the right awareness, it can actually bring you closer.
John is joined by Jennifer Prosek, Founder and Managing Partner of Prosek Partners, one of the world's leading integrated marketing and communications firms. They discuss effective reputation and crisis management in high-stakes corporate and financial legal matters. Success in such matters often depends on maintaining a disciplined alignment between legal and communications teams. Despite today's fast-paced media environment, both teams must develop a strategic plan and resist the pressure to react impulsively. Saying less can often be more effective, as premature or excessive public comments may create lasting reputational harm, even when the legal outcomes are ultimately favorable.The output of large language models bearing on reputation can be shaped by proactively feeding the digital landscape, especially large language model AI systems, with positive, relevant content, particularly third-party media coverage. By doing so, companies can shape the narrative these systems generate. While influencing large language models is not fully understood, the importance of establishing ongoing, high-quality positive public engagement is clear.In one case, Bridgewater's controversial hedge fund culture was proactively reframed into a compelling public story. Rather than hiding or ignoring critical media narratives, the firm opted to control and shape its own messaging, resulting in a broader cultural conversation and the creation of a best-selling book. This example demonstrates how taking the “front foot” in communications may often transform perception and build long-term reputational value. To “nail the narrative,” communications teams must distill a company's essence into a concise and compelling story that resonates with customers, investors, and the media. Differentiating oneself from competitors, even if polarizing, is essential in today's crowded communications landscape.Finally, John and Jennifer discuss entrepreneurship, including the value of taking initiative, the power of simply asking for what you want, and the importance of connection and authentic human relationships in business.

Most people don't fail because they lack talent, intelligence, or opportunity. They fail because no one around them tells the truth. In this episode of the Secret to Success, Eric Thomas, CJ, and Karl break down why success becomes dangerous when accountability disappears—and why many people collapse after they start winning. This conversation hits hard: Why discipline alone eventually fails How “yes-men” quietly sabotage your future The role appetite plays in self-destruction Why unchecked power and money expose character How to build a circle that protects your purpose, not your ego This isn't about cutting people off out of pride. It's about protecting your life, your family, and your future. If no one in your life can correct you, challenge you, or stop you when you're wrong—you're not free. You're exposed.
Dave Ramsey breaks down why most people don't actually have goals—they have wishes.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
“How to be more confident” is one of the most common things people tell me they want, and also one of the most misunderstood. If you've ever thought, “I'll finally feel confident once I calm my anxiety, stop second-guessing myself, or stop worrying about what other people think,” this conversation offers a very different starting point. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Dr. Aziz Gazipura to talk about confidence as something deeper than appearances or bravado. I'm revisiting this episode on why confidence is really about your relationship with yourself, how social anxiety and people-pleasing quietly erode self-trust, and why trying to look confident often leaves people feeling more anxious and disconnected. We also talk about the inner critic as a misguided safety system, how avoidance keeps anxiety alive, and why confidence grows through practice, self-compassion, and supported risk-taking rather than positive thinking alone. If you struggle with social anxiety, harsh self-talk, or the habit of saying yes when you mean no, this conversation offers a steadier, more realistic way forward. As you listen, I'd invite you to reflect on this: Where in your life have you been trying to feel confident without being on your own side? And what might shift if confidence started with how you treat yourself when things feel uncomfortable or imperfect?

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with James Davies about how to evolve your style when your team, culture, or market changes. James Davies is the Chief Executive Officer of Kinetic Data, a Minneapolis-based software company focused on empowering organizations to deliver unified digital experiences across complex technology ecosystems. With over a decade at Kinetic, James has helped evolve the company from its workflow roots into a leader in digital experience platforms serving both enterprise and government sectors. Before assuming the CEO role, James served in multiple operational and leadership capacities, shaping the company's growth strategy, culture, and partner ecosystem. Under his leadership, Kinetic Data reorganized around four key pillars—Growth, Product, Success, and Operations—creating an agile, scalable structure designed to drive collaboration and efficiency. James is known for his transparent and people-first leadership style, often communicating directly with employees through his “Friday Thoughts” updates—open reflections on company direction, lessons learned, and team progress. His approach blends operational discipline with an emphasis on empowerment and trust, traits that have earned him recognition for cultivating both performance and authenticity inside growing tech organizations An advocate for sustainable growth and innovation, James is passionate about bridging the gap between legacy systems and modern experiences—particularly within government and large-scale enterprises. He also champions the “low-code revolution,” believing that empowering small teams to build and adapt workflows quickly is key to organizational agility. A graduate of James Madison University, James credits his alma mater with shaping his collaborative, team-first mindset. Outside of work, he's known for drawing leadership parallels to his love of restoring classic Toyota Land Cruisers—symbols, to him, of durability, reliability, and purpose-driven engineering.

Financial planning is built on assumptions — about markets, inflation, longevity, human behaviour, and even the questions clients bring into the room. In this episode, Ben and Braden welcome a diverse panel that originally came together at the FP Canada Conference to explore how those assumptions influence planning outcomes in practice. Joining them are Adam Chapman, a retirement-focused planner who helps clients turn their money into memories; Joe Nunes, an actuary with decades of pension and longevity experience; and Aaron Theilade, Director of Continuing Education at FP Canada. Together, the panel unpacks how to make assumptions credible, how to stress-test them, how to navigate client bias, and how planners can blend math with humanity to create better client outcomes. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:04) Why this episode: recreating a conference panel on planning assumptions. (0:01:03) Braden on the panel's value for planners and DIY investors. (0:02:32) Meet the guests: Adam, Joe, Aaron, and Braden. (0:06:04) Assumptions matter: directional accuracy > prediction. (0:07:47) Actuarial view: start with inflation, bond yields, and risk capacity. (0:09:38) Engineering mindset: plan for expected and unexpected outcomes. (0:13:21) Client pushback: longevity surprises and hidden assumptions. (0:16:59) Asset allocation: strategic, goal-based, informed by behaviour. (0:20:57) Software limits: life is too variable for perfect modeling. (0:22:01) Behaviour gap: retirees spend less over time despite inflation. (0:25:18) Software guides; planners interpret and humanize outputs. (0:28:48) Use assumptions based on the specific question (e.g., withdrawals). (0:30:31) Always ask: "Why are we modeling this?" (0:34:15) Handling bias: reframe assumptions to reveal inconsistencies. (0:38:19) Assumptions evolve: returns, spending, and research all change. (0:42:38) Longevity beliefs: explore "why," not just the data. (0:50:38) Core truth: every plan is wrong — planning is iterative. (0:52:20) When to update: depends on age, goals, and material changes. (0:57:23) PWL approach: twice-yearly updates + adjustments during extremes. (1:00:03) Tips: focus on behaviour, communication, goals, and integration. (1:10:02) Success: relationships, impact, freedom, and sharing knowledge.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana sits down with Lauren Falesnik, founder of Gilly Guys, a kids' clothing brand born from a simple mom problem: finding jeans her toddler would actually wear. Lauren shares how she went from stay-at-home mom to entrepreneur without sacrificing her presence with her kids, proving that you don't have to choose between motherhood and building something meaningful. From sourcing denim in her basement to launching a thriving business in 2024, Lauren gets honest about the tears, the late nights, and the conversations she had to have with her kids about Mommy's work. She reveals how she manages routine, guilt, and growth while expecting baby number three, and why moms already have every skill they need to build a business. You don't need the perfect time or a flawless plan, you just need to solve a problem you care about and trust that you'll figure it out along the way.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros examine how leaders and high performers decide what they are willing to see and what they prefer to avoid.

The emphasis is not on mindset slogans or motivation, but on awareness, discipline, and long-term consistency. Listen carefully.

Through relatable examples, such as decluttering physical and mental spaces, Dr. Christine Li encourages listeners to start the new year with a transformational attitude, actionable steps, and a focus on lasting, meaningful change.TIMESTAMPS:[00:02:29] Dr. Christine Li explains that we overlay personal beliefs and stories onto our goals, which can cause us to forget what we truly want to achieve.[00:04:37] Small changes made in a single day can lead to giant possibilities of transformation, according to Dr. Christine Li.[00:06:12] Sharing her own experience with decluttering, Dr. Christine Li reveals how even committed minds can face resistance from their own brains.[00:09:43] Overriding your brain's tendency to favor the status quo by consistently choosing happiness and your chosen goal is a powerful strategy for transformation.[00:11:15] Dr. Christine Li emphasizes the importance of consistency, encouraging listeners to check in with themselves daily to stay grounded and true to their goals.[00:15:16] Affirming self-support and intuitive decision-making, Dr. Christine Li reads an inspiring declaration on choosing confidence, passion, and direction in the new year.To get the free download that accompanies this episode, go to:https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/reflectionTo sign up for the Waitlist for the Simply Productive Program, go to https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/SPFor more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit: https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comGain Access to Dr. Christine Li's Free Resource Library -- 12 downloadable tools and templates to help you bypass the impulse to procrastinate: https://procrastinationcoach.mykajabi.com/freelibraryTo work with Dr. Li on a weekly basis in her coaching and accountability program, register for The Success Lab here: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com/labConnect with Dr. Christine LiWebsite: https://www.procrastinationcoach.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@procrastinationcoachThe Success Lab: https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/labSimply Productive: https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/SP
Why Does Success Feel So Hard (When You're Good at Your Job)? You're successful. You're respected. So why does work feel heavier, more exhausting, and less fulfilling than it should? Burnout in capable professionals rarely comes from failure. It comes from years of being the person who steps in, figures it out, and carries more than their share. In this episode, Blake explores why high performers feel exhausted even when they're doing everything "right". You'll hear why common fixes like rest, boundaries, or a new role rarely create lasting change, and you'll learn what actually does. Episode Highlights When Success Starts Feeling Heavy [01:00] - A client who did everything right but felt exhausted [02:15] - "I keep over-giving and I don't know how to stop" [03:20] - When caring deeply still leaves you drained How Being Capable Becomes Costly [04:10] - The ability that made you successful started costing you [05:30] - When success strategies quietly turn into stress patterns Why Change Doesn't Stick [06:45] - Changing environments but finding the same cycles [08:20] - Root patterns driven by the subconscious What Actually Creates Sustainable Success [09:45] - How to change the patterns keeping you stuck [10:50] - Success doesn't have to require self-sacrifice Powerful Quotes "This isn't the kind of burnout where you hate your job. It's the kind where you care deeply and you're still drained." -Blake Schofield "Over-responsibility and hyper-performance aren't personality traits. They're actually ways of living that you learned how to do in order to adapt." -Blake Schofield "This is not a willpower problem. It's not a discipline problem. And it's not a capability problem. It's a root pattern problem." -Blake Schofield "Success does not have to feel this hard. And nothing's wrong with you. You're not lazy or ungrateful and you're not failing. You're just operating from a pattern that's outlived its usefulness." -Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

What happens when the very idea of "success" you've chased your whole life suddenly disappears? Maybe you're standing at a career crossroads and wondering, "Who am I if I'm not climbing the next mountain?" The pressure to "level up" can be exhausting. If you're feeling that nudge to redefine success and finally build a life that feels like yours, this episode is for you. Meet Kevin Lingg, founder of Loaded Dough Cookie Co. After more than 20 years in leadership roles, Kevin's life and career took an unexpected turn. He lost his job. And like many of us, he thought the next step was to find another one, a bigger role, a new challenge, another title. Underneath that drive was a lot of ego. At the time, Kevin had a cookie business, a small, joyful side venture he couldn't imagine turning into his next chapter. It felt too small. But eventually, he let go of what success was supposed to look like and started asking a different question — What if smaller could actually mean freer? Kevin shares what he's learned about redefining identity, letting go of ego to embrace a more fulfilling path, and applying decades of leadership lessons when you are your own team of one. We're not romanticizing loss or glossing over real fears about money, ego, and uncertainty. We're exploring what it means to redefine success on your own terms, without burning the boats or taking risks that don't fit your wiring. Chapter Highlights (00:00) What happens when everything you've built your identity around suddenly disappears? (03:50) How we get caught in the trap of leveling up and achieving "more" (05:51) How smart money moves create future options (10:22) Turning "just a fun project" into a sustainable business without all the pressure (20:10) The mindset shift Kevin made about his own value (21:36) Kevin's step-by-step, low-risk approach to creating a business that fit his life (26:16) What to do when you're feeling the nudge to leave your corporate role Connect with Kevin Lingg https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinlingg/ https://loadeddough.com/ About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.

It’s Time to Redefine Success for You and Your People In the high-stakes game of business, we are often obsessed with the scoreboard—profit margins, market share, and rankings. But the greatest mentor of all time, Coach John Wooden, taught us that true success isn't merely about winning; it is about the peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable. Too many leaders today are burning out chasing the “win” while losing the heart of their team. It is time to redefine what it means to lead. This week on A New Direction, I am sitting down with the man recognized as “America's Breakthrough Coach,” Brian Biro. We are discussing his book, Beyond Success, and the profound lessons he learned directly from his mentor, John Wooden. Brian doesn’t just theorize about culture; he shows you how to build it. We are going to explore how to apply Wooden's timeless principles to the modern workplace, shifting your team from a group of employees to a collective of high-performers who genuinely care about the mission and each other. This conversation is vital for every leader, entrepreneur, and coach who wants to build a legacy that lasts. We will dive into how to foster a spirit of “industriousness and enthusiasm” in your organization and how to break through the fear that stifles innovation. Brian is going to share the secrets of how to lead with love and discipline simultaneously, creating an environment where success is the natural by-product of character. This is about taking your business from transactional to transformational. This is your opportunity to learn the blueprint for greatness from a man who learned from the master himself. Bring your notebook and your team—this is the kind of wisdom that changes trajectories. If you cannot join the livestream, make sure to subscribe and download the podcast later. Don't settle for being a boss; tune in and learn how to become a leader who goes beyond success. Brian Biro‘s book, “Beyond Success: – The 15 Secrets to Effective Leadership and Life Based on Legendary Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success” is a timeless and outstanding read! The stories and practical applications are just as relevant today as they were when John Wooden coached his last year in the mid-seventies. In today’s world we are so focused on the results we are employing strategies at the sacrifice of human fundamentals that either burn our people out or burn us out. Let’s be honest all business is about people. Not just the people we sell to, but the people who do the selling, who handle the paperwork, who mop the floor. All of business is people, and if we are not handling our people well. We have already lost. The fact is all success is going to start with the number one person we need to develop first. And that is us. Sadly, in today’s world we are so concerned with our reputation and what other’s think we are less focused on developing our character. But it is from our character that will drive our enthusiasm, beliefs, and vision. Without fully developed character or vision is nothing more than words on the wall. Empty and meaningless. Beyond Success is truly a refreshing read, that gets grounded into the basics of who we are, getting the most out of the people around us, and building the right blocks so that what naturally flows is competitive greatness.

What if the very traits you've been told to soften, like being collaborative or agreeable, are actually essential to your success, not obstacles to it? In this episode of Finding Brave, we explore why so many professionals, especially women, feel trapped between being liked and being respected, and what it really takes to be both. In this episode, Kathy Caprino speaks with Alison Fragale, an organizational psychologist, professor at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, and bestselling author of Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve. Drawing on her extensive research on status, power, negotiation, and influence, Alison helps individuals understand how respect is formed and how it can be intentionally built without compromising your authenticity. In our conversation, Alison breaks down the two core dimensions that shape how others evaluate and perceive us: warmth and competence. She explains how our behaviors signal, or fail to signal, competence, how feedback like "you're too nice" is often misunderstood, and why pulling back on warmth is rarely the right answer. Through powerful examples from her research, consulting career, and personal experience, she reveals how small behavioral shifts can dramatically change how others perceive your authority and credibility. This episode offers practical, science-backed insight for anyone navigating leadership, visibility, or influence at work. If you have ever felt misunderstood or unsure of how to show up fully and effectively while being your true self, this conversation will give you a new lens and and transformative ways forward. Key Highlights From This Episode: Introducing Alison Fragale and her research on status, power, and influence. [01:00] Lessons from Alison's early consulting career at McKinsey and how career dissatisfaction can drive self-awareness and meaningful change. [04:44] The science behind status, why respect matters, and the "likeable badass" framework. [12:51] Understanding the two key ways people evaluate others: warmth and competence. [14:35] How gender bias shapes status and perception in the workplace. [17:26] Ways that feedback like "you're too nice" often miss the point, what it's actually communicating, and how to signal capability without sacrificing warmth or authenticity. [21:28] Why asking for advice, not feedback, leads to clearer insight and stronger allies. [25:37] Alison's personal story about self-deprecation and learning from direct feedback.

And what that means is: your status is an opinion in other people's minds. But it turns out to be a really important opinion for our own happiness and for our career success." — Alison Fragale [0:13:11] "The two things we pay attention to are: do you care, and are you capable?" — Alison Fragale [0:14:49] "When a man and a woman walk into a situation, if everything else about them is equal, there's a very high likelihood that the audience is going to immediately give more status to the man than the woman." — Alison Fragale [0:20:06] "I'm not going to pull back on being nice, but I am going to show you that I know what I'm doing. You can rely on me. I'm results-oriented, I'm capable." — Alison Fragale [0:22:35] "Smiling is a warm behavior, apologizing is a warm behavior, giving somebody a compliment is a warm behavior, putting yourself down is actually a warm behavior, because it shows you're humble. But some of these behaviors are better than others at showing how capable you are." — Alison Fragale [0:24:10] Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!
