Episode 298 features Jake Karls, co founder and chief rainmaker of Mid Day Squares, breaking down how a kitchen table idea turned into a multimillion dollar brand by winning attention the hard way, through relentless storytelling and real human connection. He explains why attention is one of the most valuable assets in business, why you cannot buy trust with generic marketing, and why your story is the one advantage competitors cannot copy, if you are willing to share the good and the ugly.The conversation also goes deep on the cost of building at full speed. Jake opens up about burnout in a way most founders never do, from chronic fatigue and brain fog to spiraling anxiety and feeling completely out of control, and how stepping away, therapy, and real recovery practices helped him rebuild. It is a powerful reminder that growth is a long game, and the strongest leaders are the ones who protect their health while they keep showing up.Key Takeaways: 1. Attention is one of the most valuable assets now, and you have to earn it, not just pay for it. 2. People do not connect to product claims, they connect to emotion, meaning, and a story that feels real. 3. Your story is the one advantage competitors cannot copy, so treat it like an asset and share it on purpose. 4. Trust is built by showing the good and the ugly, not by trying to look perfect. 5. Impostor syndrome gets louder when you perform for approval instead of showing up as yourself. 6. Comparison is only useful if it inspires you, otherwise it quietly poisons your energy and progress. 7. Overworking for too long is not toughness, stepping back can be the move that lets you go ten steps forward. 8. Therapy is not a crisis move, it is leadership work that strengthens communication, perspective, and resilience. 9. Your business cannot be your identity, because that pressure will break you when life hits. 10. Surround yourself with real people who want you to win, and talk about the hard stuff before it turns into chaos.

The world's changing faster than ever, and predicting what's next is tougher than it used to be. But some entrepreneurial truths hold steady. Dan Sullivan and Steven Krein explore how staying ambitious, embracing fresh possibilities, and surrounding yourself with the right people lets you keep setting bigger goals no matter what the future brings.Show Notes: New technologies unlock new entrepreneurial capabilities, giving you more ways to grow. Economic policy shifts, like recent tariffs, signal consumption is now more important than production in the U.S. The U.S. is the greatest consumer economy in the history of the world. Over just the last six months, the strength of your consumer base became the new measure of future success. Predicting the future based only on past trends is getting harder, as possibilities matter more now than probabilities. Rapid change means it's a whole new game; fresh opportunities are opening up for the next decade and beyond. Retiring can create social friction because if you're working and your friends aren't, you have less in common to discuss. Ambition is the opposite of envy. Surround yourself with other ambitious thinkers; your environment shapes how far you'll go.​ Resources: Always More Ambitious by Dan Sullivan Ambition Scorecard by Dan Sullivan Unique Ability® The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn Bill Of Rights Economy by Dan Sullivan

As we approach 2026, it's a wonderful opportunity to do some spiritual cleansing. This process is particularly important if you consider certain people around you as family (even within the church community), and you are having some strange encounters. It's crucial to recognize that negative influences can exist even in the most sacred spaces. We often nurture a soft spot for family members who may harbor bad intentions toward us, but remember: love and support can coexist with healthy boundaries and distance. While it's essential to offer a helping hand, it's equally important to safeguard your well-being. Surround yourself with positivity and relationships that uplift you! Embrace this journey with hope and insight, knowing that growth often comes from navigating these challenges. Let's move forward with love and spiritual strength!   Check out this message, sign up for a session, and read Luke Chapter 6. Just as the Pharisees observed Jesus, remember that others might be watching you, so stay strong and positive!   Website: http://seriouslyfocusedjohnnie.com/ ✓Store: https://teespring.com/stores/seriously-focused-johnnie ✓Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s.f.johnnie/ ✓YouTube  Seriously Focused Johnnie   ✓For suggested topics, put in the subject box “Topic…,” and the email address is  sfj.peace@gmail.com   ✓My intended goal is to educate and bring people closer to God.

We live in an age overflowing with advice — from social media gurus to professional consultants, from friends to influencers. But not all counsel is created equal. In this episode, we revisit one of the most sobering leadership stories in Scripture: David's flight from Absalom and the competing counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai.Through this story, we learn three timeless lessons:Discern the source — Wisdom isn't about eloquence; it's about godliness.Surround yourself with truth-tellers — Seek counsel from those who fear God more than they fear offending you.Trust God's sovereignty — Even when advice goes wrong, God's purposes remain right.This 10–12 minute reflection will encourage you to think deeply about the voices shaping your decisions — and remind you that God is still directing your path, even through the noise.Referenced Song: “Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right” – Sovereign Grace MusicKeywords: wisdom, discernment, leadership, advice, sovereignty, counselYou can order the devotionals at https://amzn.to/4h8zFe6 or https://wisdomcalling.orgFollow us on Instagram: @wisdomcallingnow

How can you accelerate your path to CEO?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Dr. Rahesha Amon, CEO of City Teaching Alliance. With 25+ years of leadership experience, Rahesha has been a teacher, coach, principal, and senior executive at NYC DOE before stepping into her current role.   A proud Black woman and fourth-generation New Yorker, Rahesha never dreamed of being a CEO—she once wanted to act, then pursued pre-med. But her all-girls school experience, community encouragement, and resilience helped her find her voice and chart her own leadership path.   She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Own your identity. Authenticity is power. •Trust the process. Successes and failures both teach. •Keep building your toolkit. Seek experiences that stretch you. •Find your board of directors. Surround yourself with mentors and advocates. •Believe in yourself. Look to the light and draw strength from those who came before you. Rahesha's story shows that with identity, faith, and community, we can accelerate our own path to CEO.   Get full show notes and more information here:https://analizawolf.com/episode-116-accelerate-your-path-to-ceo-with-dr-rahesha-amon-ceo-of-city-teaching-alliance

What if the key to unlocking these capabilities lies not in another sales workshop, but in a pair of running shoes or a set of gym weights? On this episode of the Sales Reinvented podcast, I talk with Randy Neufeld, President and GM at Kubota Thunder Bay, who shares how his journey from sluggish and overweight to fit and focused transformed not just his health, but his entire sales career. Outline of This Episode [00:00] The role of fitness in building strong customer relationships and leading high-performing teams. [04:50] Consistency and planning ahead are key to effective workouts. [08:24] Change poor lifestyle choices by opting for healthier options. [12:06] Persevere through setbacks; results will gain recognition. [13:51] How exercise led to improved business opportunities for Randy. The Overlooked Link Between Fitness and Sales Success Randy pulls no punches: physical fitness isn't just about looking good, but about being sharp, energized, and ready to deliver at your best. When you're physically fit and mentally fit, you're sharper, you're more alert, you have more energy. This heightened focus and self-confidence radiate during customer interactions. First impressions count, and a salesperson exuding vitality and positivity is inevitably more compelling. Habits That Fire Up Your Day How does a busy sales leader incorporate fitness into a jam-packed routine? According to Randy, it's ruthless consistency. His formula is simple yet effective. He starts every day with an early-morning workout at a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) gym, before most people have even hit the snooze button. This non-negotiable morning ritual, coupled with a healthy breakfast, ensures he arrives at work already energized and in the right mental space. Randy recommends:  Scheduling your workouts for times least likely to be disrupted, for most, that's early morning. Making your fitness routine non-negotiable, just like an important meeting. Planning your workouts in advance, so you don't waste mental energy debating whether or what to do. Sales is notorious for high stress and burnout rates. Randy credits his morning exercise for making him more relaxed and less susceptible to stress during the workday. A lot of stress is caused by people being rushed, whereas when your blood's flowing and you've had a good meal, you're coming to work ready to go. It's a simple formula: controlled mornings equal calmer, more productive days. Tackling Common Roadblocks Many sales professionals struggle with two core lifestyle challenges: inconsistent exercise and poor eating habits. You need to protect your workout time from life's interruptions, don't accept your own excuses, and treat your workouts as you would any professional obligation. Perhaps the most inspiring part of Randy's story is the tangible effect his lifestyle change had on his career trajectory. Losing weight, eating better, and adopting regular exercise led to a more positive outlook, which in turn "opened doors" in his professional life. He transitioned into a new career, enjoyed new opportunities, and ultimately bought into a business, all steps he attributes, at least in part, to the confidence and drive fueled by fitness. Surround yourself with like-minded people, celebrate small wins, and focus on the next milestone, not just the mountain ahead. In sales (and in life), physical fitness isn't optional self-care; it's a critical lever for sustained performance and professional pride.

Ever feel like you're building in a vacuum while the people closest to you don't quite understand what you do? We dig into why environment outperforms motivation and how carefully choosing your “power five” can change the trajectory of your business. Rather than grinding harder alone, we map out how to engineer a circle that elevates your beliefs, sharpens accountability, and gives you the shared energy that makes hard goals feel doable.We break down the law of averages in practical terms and explore the three big transfers that happen in any group: beliefs, accountability, and momentum. You'll hear the roles to include—an encourager who keeps your courage intact, a collaborator who shares tactics and opens doors, and an expander who sits a few steps ahead and normalizes your next level. Instead of chasing status, we show why complementary strengths matter more: email strategy from one person, YouTube growth from another, keyword research from a third, podcast audience building from a fourth. That mix becomes a composite mentor, and it beats any single playbook.Isolation has hidden costs: dwindling inspiration, slower feedback, and missed opportunities. We share how to avoid the isolation loop, why no one scales alone, and how to leverage second‑degree networks for partnerships, list growth, and faster iteration across any niche. If you've been thinking, “No one gets my business,” this conversation gives you a blueprint to find the right rooms and make progress feel inevitable.If you want structured accountability and a curated circle that pushes you forward, apply to our mastermind and let's take your business to the next level.

Whitney shares how she left a stable engineering career in D.C., bought a one-way ticket to Bali, and discovered her freedom—and her purpose—through crypto. We dive deep into what it takes to invest with conviction, build true financial literacy, and lead from curiosity rather than fear.Whitney's story is about trusting your gut, learning through discomfort, and building a life fully aligned with who you are. From turning $25K into half a million to creating an international movement for women in crypto, she proves that the real ROI comes from being two feet in on your path.Key Takeaways:- Curiosity creates conviction. Every powerful decision starts with asking better questions.- Freedom requires financial literacy. Investing isn't just about money—it's about alignment and self-trust.- Noise is the enemy. Focus on the 5% of information that truly matters and block out distractions.- Conviction over convenience. Do the research, build belief, and commit to your plan.- Discipline drives wealth. Consistency and self-control are the real edge in volatile markets.- Community multiplies growth. Surround yourself with people playing full out—it accelerates your learning curve.- Be of service. True wealth comes from contribution, not just accumulation.Final thought:Whether it's crypto, business, or personal growth, the biggest rewards come when you stop dipping your toes and step in fully. Curiosity will open the door—but conviction keeps you in the game.

Send us a textThe wellness world is louder than ever—trends, shortcuts, and conflicting advice everywhere you turn. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with author and health coach Jen Trepik to cut through the noise and get back to what actually works. At Redefine Fitness, we always say fitness is medicine, and this conversation gives you the blueprint for building a body that performs the way you want it to—long term.We kick things off with a simple question: What does “worked” mean to you? If your goals are better energy, deeper sleep, pain-free movement, or strength that carries you through life, then the method matters as much as the outcome. That's where most people get stuck. Short-term tactics look impressive, but long-term systems actually transform you.Together, we break down the biggest myths that keep people spinning:Calories aren't equal when your biology is running the show.Protein's thermic effect changes metabolism more than people think.Fiber and the gut-brain connection shift cravings without relying on “discipline.”Quick fixes like GLP-1s come with real trade-offs people rarely talk about.Eating out vs. cooking isn't just about calories—it's about control and consistency.Variety still matters for micronutrients, resilience, and recovery.Jen lays out a biostack—nutrition, movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and connection—that mirrors the exact foundation we use at Redefine Fitness in Stony Brook and Mount Sinai. When these six pillars work together, every small habit you love finally has leverage.We also dig into the identity side of change. Community shapes who you become. Surround yourself with people who normalize the habits you want, and progress accelerates. Build simple plates around protein, produce, and quality fats. Anchor your mornings. Protect your sleep window. Stack repeatable wins even on chaotic days.If you feel stuck between fatigue and fads, this episode is your permission to ignore the noise, choose your trade-offs intentionally, and let your body's feedback drive your next step. That's how lasting health is built—inside the gym and outside it.Grab Jen's book Uncomplicating Wellness, listen to her podcast Salad with a Side of Fries, and then come join us on the journey.

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

Here's a question that hits closer to home than most sales reps want to admit: What do you do when you've been away from prospecting for a while and suddenly the call reluctance feels brand new again? That's the situation Dwayne Malmberg from Sugar Land, Texas found himself in. He'd been crushing it in inside sales and appointment setting since the 90s. He was good at it. Really good. But after taking just over two years away from the phones, a new opportunity came along and suddenly he was facing something he didn't expect. The call reluctance. The trepidation. The mental resistance to picking up that phone and dialing invisible strangers. If you've ever taken time away from prospecting and felt that same knot in your stomach when it's time to get back on the phones, you're not alone. And more importantly, there's a systematic way to rebuild that muscle and get back to crushing it. The Raw Truth About Cold Calling Fear Let's get brutally honest: Cold calling creates emotional angst. Period. I've made tens of thousands of cold calls. I make them with my clients during training sessions. I'll make them tomorrow morning. And I still feel that trepidation on the first couple of calls of the day. It's just human. It's natural. It never completely goes away. Think about it like jumping out of an airplane. A few years ago, I got the chance to jump with the United States Army Golden Knights. I was terrified. My heart was pounding. A sergeant even asked if I was okay because apparently I looked frightened. When we got strapped in, I turned to the Golden Knight I was jumping with and asked, "Do you ever get scared?" His answer was revealing: "Yeah, of course I do. My heart's beating a little bit because it's an airplane and I don't know what's going to happen. But I've done it so many times and I've got a routine." That's the key. The routine. The process. The mental preparation that gets you past the fear and into action. The Big Pull: Why You Need Something Worth Fighting For Here's the problem with facing fear: If you don't have something pulling you forward that's bigger than the discomfort you're feeling right now, you'll procrastinate forever. The discipline to run a prospecting block and do your prospecting is the discipline to sacrifice what you want now for what you want most. So before you even think about picking up the phone, sit down and write out what you want. Why are you doing this? What's the goal? Is it a paycheck? A promotion? Financial freedom? Providing for your family? That's your big pull. That's what you focus on when you start your day, not whatever might happen on the call. Because when you're thinking about something as scary as facing rejection, if you don't have a big pull driving you, you'll end up avoiding the work that matters most. For Dwayne, part of his why was clear: He's a caregiver for his disabled wife and needs the flexibility to work from home while still providing for his family. That's a powerful pull. That's something worth pushing through fear for. Building the Muscle: You Can't Bench Press 250 on Day One Let's say you were a bodybuilder in your 30s. You were strong, lifting heavy, crushing it in the gym. Then life happened. Kids came along. Your career took off. You quit working out. Now you decide it's time to get back in shape. What happens if you walk into the gym and try to bench press 250 pounds on day one? You're going to hurt yourself. Maybe badly. The same principle applies to prospecting after time away. You already know how to do it. You've got the muscle memory. Everything inside you is saying, "I got this." But you can't expect to jump back in at the same intensity level you had before. You have to rebuild the muscle gradually. Start with the equivalent of those 20-pound dumbbells and work your way back up. The High-Intensity Sprint Strategy When I found myself in a similar situation years ago, uncomfortable and fearful about making calls, I developed a strategy that I now call high-intensity prospecting sprints. Here's how it works: Break your prospecting into very small, short blocks. Sometimes just five minutes. Make five calls in five minutes. Or ten minutes. Or fifteen minutes. The key is this: Make it so small and manageable that your brain can't talk you out of it. If I tell you to make cold calls all day long, that feels overwhelming. But if I ask you to knock out just five calls, you can do that. Then here's the critical part: Follow each sprint with something inspiring. Read a chapter from Fanatical Prospecting. Listen to a segment of your favorite sales podcast. Watch a training video. Put good stuff in your ears and in front of your eyes that builds your courage and strengthens your heart. Then do another sprint. More inspiration. Another sprint. Repeat. What happens is two things: First, by actually doing it instead of thinking about it, you get better at doing it. You get what I call sales endorphins. You feel good about yourself because you realize, "Hey, I can do this. Everything's okay." Second, by backing up each sprint with inspirational content, you're feeding your mindset. You're building back that mental muscle alongside the practical muscle. The Time Management Factor for Busy Sales Professionals If you're like Dwayne and have a lot of responsibilities outside of sales, time management becomes critical. You can't afford to waste time or dilute your prospecting efforts. The solution is ruthless prioritization and time blocking. Start your day with your most important, highest priority sales activity. Get your prospecting done first thing in the morning when your willpower is strongest and your emotional energy is highest. Here's why this matters: When you've got a lot going on and you're also doing the hardest job in sales (making outbound calls), by the time you get later into your day, you're worn out. Your willpower is depleted. It's going to be exponentially harder to find the motivation to interrupt strangers. But first thing in the morning? You're fresh. You're ready. You can knock out that prospecting block and then ride that momentum through the rest of your day. Block your calendar in core chunks for everything you need to do. If you have an appointment at 3 PM that'll take three hours, fine. But that first hour of your day? That's sacred prospecting time. Nothing else touches it. The Mindset Foundation: Feed Your Mind Daily The first section of Fanatical Prospecting focuses on mindset because that's where everything begins. If your mindset isn't right, technique doesn't matter. Scripts don't matter. Nothing matters because you won't execute. Feed your mind daily with content that builds you up. Listen to a sales podcast three days a week. Read sales books. Watch training videos. Surround yourself with messages that reinforce the behaviors you want to develop. When you're in a situation where you feel fear or emotional angst, putting good stuff in your ears and eyes has a tendency to make your heart stronger and build your courage. This isn't fluffy motivation. This is practical psychology. You're literally rewiring your brain to associate prospecting with positive emotions instead of fear and anxiety. The Bottom Line Getting back in the prospecting game after time away isn't about summoning superhuman courage or pretending the fear doesn't exist. It's about acknowledging the fear, building a routine to work through it, and gradually rebuilding the muscle you once had. You already know how to do this. You've done it before. You just need to give yourself permission to start small, build consistently, and focus on progress over perfection. Start with your why. Build your prospecting sprints. Front-load your day. Feed your mind with the right content. And remember: The first call is always the hardest because you're lifting that 10,000-pound weight. But once you make it, the momentum starts building. You've got this. Now go pick up the phone and prove it to yourself. Want to learn how to leverage LinkedIn to fill your pipeline and never run out of opportunities?

Hello IMPACT SHOW passengers, this is your captain speaking —Todd Durkin, coming to you LIVE from 35,000 feet altitude somewhere between San Diego and Whitefish, Montana!  This one's different as I could not contain my excitement enroute to Montana for our annual Mountain Retreat. I just HAD to hit record because my mind was in major FLOW mode and the lessons were downloading!  This episode is all about MINDSET — how to stay calm in chaos, find clarity in the climb, and keep your faith strong even when life gets turbulent. Because just like flying, life doesn't always give you smooth air. But you can always control your response, your attitude, and your altitude.  Here's What You'll Learn in Episode 453: 1. You Can't Control the Turbulence — But You CAN Control Your Response. Life's gonna shake you. Business dips, plans get flipped, curveballs come outta nowhere. But high performers? They don't panic — we breathe, we stay calm, and we trust our training. I share exactly what happened on my flight this past week and how to navigate life's storms with poise, peace, and purpose. 2. High Altitude = High Awareness. When you rise above the weeds, you see the big picture. Up here, the clarity is unreal. I talk about how to "get above the noise" so you can see your mission, your purpose, and your life from a higher perspective — because clarity doesn't come in chaos; it comes in stillness. And you can't see the vision when you're stuck on the runway. 3. Pre-Flight Rituals = Peak Performance Habits. Every pilot has a pre-flight checklist — and you need one too. I walk you through my own daily ritual: movement, gratitude, journaling, & prayer. These habits anchor me, fuel me, and set the tone for the day. Because I'm telling you — when you win the morning…you win the day; and when you win the day(s)…you ultimately win the weeks, months, quarters, and year(s). 4. Your Final Destination Is Determined by Your Dreams. We all need more "blue-sky" time. We all need more "white-space" in our daily rituals. It's powerful to have some built-in, regular time to write, think, dream, and ultimately do. That's why I'm also firing off 10 powerful questions to get you dreaming again — your Big 5 for Life, your Big 5 for 2026, and what God is whispering in this season. Don't drift. Don't settle. And now is a GREAT time of the year to start 'dreaming.' 5. Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude. You cannot fly high if you're surrounded by people who live low. Protect your energy. Fuel your mind with gratitude and growth. Surround yourself with people who elevate, inspire, and challenge you. Because the higher you go, the thinner the air — and the fewer the distractions. Key Takeaways: Mindset determines your mission. You can't control the turbulence, but you can control your response. Calm is a superpower. Gratitude is rocket fuel. Dream boldly. Live purposefully. Fly with faith. The world needs your energy, faith, and fire — at full altitude. My friends — life's going to have turbulence. We are going to have seasons where life is "bumpy" to say the least. It's important during those times to stay calm; Stay grateful; Stay focused; and stay tapped-in. Keep your seatbelt fastened, your faith strong, and your mindset sky-high. It's time for take-off…it's time for IGNITION!

Let's be real: sometimes, being told to “just be grateful” when things are hard feels… gross. We get it. Gratitude can be helpful, but not when it's used to slap a smiley face sticker over real pain.In this episode, Allie and Ellen talk about what taking a descriptive approach to gratitude looks like. It's the kind that helps you carry the hard stuff, not erase it. Allie shares what she's learned while recovering from a serious fall (and yes, her therapist will be proud of this one), and Ellen dives into why “good vibes only” doesn't help us or our clients.Whether you're a pet parent knee-deep in the messy middle or a pro helping others through it, this episode is your reminder that you can say “this sucks”… and still find the tiny glimmers along the way.TLDL (too long, didn't listen):1️⃣ Gratitude isn't pretending it's all fine – You can acknowledge hardship and find small things to appreciate; both can be true.2️⃣ Little glimmers matter – Whether it's a client breakthrough, a funny pet moment, or a small win, collecting and revisiting these moments helps you stay grounded when things get tough.3️⃣ Build your support system – Surround yourself with people who help you see the light when you're ready and know when to just sit with you in the dark.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

This episode of Hot Breath! dives deep into the DIY spirit of comedy with punk-rock veteran turned stand-up, Joe Sib. From fronting bands and opening for Metallica to touring with Jim Breuer, Joe breaks down how a lifelong performer reinvents himself in the most brutally honest art form of stand-up.He and Joel riff on everything from bombing in front of Metallica fans to finding authenticity on stage, why comics can't “fake the funny,” and how comedy's new punk rock era (YouTube, self-releasing specials, podcasting) gives comics more freedom than ever.If you're a comedian trying to balance the grind, stay authentic, and not lose your mind in the process then Joe's stories and lessons are pure rocket fuel.Connect with Joe here: https://www.joesib.com/Join our Patreon: http://patreon.com/hotbreathpodTop 10 Takeaways from Joe Sib:Host often — it's the fastest way to get multiple reps and real crowd interaction in one night.Listen to your audience — the laughter (or silence) tells you exactly what to fix.Film every set — you can't improve what you don't watch.Write from truth — audiences can spot fake stories instantly.DIY your career — start your own show, mic, or podcast instead of waiting for permission.Keep a “bomb journal” — track what failed, why, and how you'll adjust.Surround yourself with better comics — iron sharpens iron.Find joy in the grind — comedy rewards the ones who keep showing up.Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1Check out our classes and workshops here: https://hotbreathmedia.com
