A smart awareness strategy for child abuse prevention that starts with people who don't know what they don't know and equips them to share.

How to build a multi-interest audience that sticks with you by leading with story first, niche second. The meaning behind 2,4,5,9 as Lolita's sci-fi novel title and how she honors family through art and memory.

In this episode of Decide It's Your Turn, Christina Lecuyer dives into why waiting for “perfect” keeps you stuck—and how embracing imperfection can actually move you forward faster. She challenges the victim mentality, showing how taking radical responsibility shifts you from feeling powerless to empowered. Christina shares personal stories and practical mindset shifts to help you spot the excuses holding you back, reprogram your thoughts, and start creating real opportunities in your life. If you've ever felt like your background, circumstances, or lack of privilege are keeping you from your goals, this episode will help you see what's truly possible when you decide to take ownership of your future.

Most people wait for perfect conditions and call it “planning.” That's just stuck.  In this conversation, Mark Young, an entrepreneur, educator, author, and functional doctor, joins Jim to break the addiction to comfort, reframe failure, and get back to ownership. We hit health, wealth, and work: why public goals matter, why cashflow beats accumulation, and how to use AI as a collaborator (not a crutch). If you're serious about building your Wealth Engine, this one's about action, not consensus. What You'll Learn: Why momentum beats “getting ready to get ready”, and how to act before everything is perfect The real fear behind inaction: public failure and tying your value to others' opinions How “do hard things” compounds in health, business, and wealth—discipline creates predictable outcomes Cashflow > accumulation: stop outsourcing your financial future to Wall Street narratives How to treat AI as a collaborator to upgrade decisions in health and money (without letting your brain atrophy) Action Steps: 1. Own One Hard Thing Today Pick a single uncomfortable action (call the prospect, publish the post, book the consult). Do it before noon. Momentum is a decision. 2. Make It Public Choose one measurable goal and share it with your circle (deadline included). Public commitments kill excuses and create follow-through. 3. Shift from Accumulation to Cashflow Audit your plan: Where does monthly cashflow come from? Map one move to increase it (IBC policy design, a small real-estate cashflow play, or a skill that raises your floor). Mark Young's Final Word: “Curiosity begets curiosity. Ask better questions, do hard things, and use AI as your collaborator. The harder I worked, the luckier I got—and proximity creates opportunity.” Connect with Mark Young: Instagram: www.instagram.com/themarkyoung Website: ryzeagency.com Website II: themarkyoung.com

A Candid Conversation About the Dreams We Put on Hold   In this role-reversal episode of the Rich Mind Podcast, Greg takes the host's seat and poses a powerful question to Randy: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" This thought experiment leads to a candid exploration of Randy's lifelong passion for classic cars and racing. The conversation is a transparent look at how our deepest passions, often formed in childhood, can get buried under the responsibilities and limiting beliefs of adult life. Listeners will learn the importance of identifying their true desires, the power of taking small, tangible steps towards a dream, and why facing the fear of regret is often a more powerful motivator than the fear of failure.   Key Takeaways:   The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true passions. Your childhood dreams and passions often hold the key to what would bring you the most fulfillment in your adult life. You don't have to quit your life to pursue a passion; you can start by "dipping your toe in the water" through local clubs, volunteer opportunities, or conversations. Your existing relationships and network (a friend from a car club, a daughter's boyfriend who races) are often the doorways to your next opportunity. Limiting beliefs, such as "I need to do things on my own" or "My spouse wouldn't enjoy it," can prevent you from taking the first step. Setting an intention is a powerful first step that signals to your mind to start looking for opportunities and connections related to your goal. The fear of regret ("What if I never even try?") can be a more potent fuel for action than the fear of failure.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the most powerful question to ask yourself to uncover your hidden passions? How do you turn a lifelong passion, like classic cars, into a tangible pursuit? What are the first small steps you can take to explore a new hobby or career path? How can you leverage your existing network to open doors to new opportunities? What common limiting beliefs stop us from pursuing our dreams? Why is it important to ask yourself if you will regret not doing something? How does setting a clear intention help you recognize opportunities you previously missed? How do you balance your personal passions with family responsibilities and commitments?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge. Concepts: No-Failure Mindset, Fear of Failure, Fear of Regret, Passion Projects, Self-Doubt, Limiting Beliefs, Taking Action, Setting Intentions, Networking.

Edition No246 | 14-09-2025 - When Russian drones violate Polish airspace and NATO in Europe scrambles, what does the American president post? If you read the headlines, you may get one version of reality – that decisive action is coming, it's being planned, it's almost here. If you peel away the normalization bias and sane washing, then it's clear that nothing is happening, and nothing is likely to happen from US side that would deter Vladimir Putin. Trump will not defend you. Trump's response to the unprecedented attack on Poland, Europe and NATO, he immediately turned around and delivered an ultimatum not to Russia, but to NATO itself. We'll unpack why Donald Trump's threats and conditions land on allies—not on Moscow—whenever Europe is tested, how the media “sane-washes” the noise into a tepid bath of normal, and why Europe must plan like the cavalry isn't coming. Because it's not. “The war in Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia,” Trump posted—calling those purchases “shocking” and saying they “greatly weaken your negotiating position.” (Sky News, Sept. 13, 2025).

Unlock Your True Potential by Asking This One Question   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast poses a powerful question to kickstart your biggest goals: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" Randy and Greg use this thought experiment to dissect the self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear of judgment that paralyze us. The conversation evolves into a real-time coaching session where Greg shares his entrepreneurial dream of starting a coaching business and the internal resistance holding him back. Listeners will get a transparent look at how to identify limiting beliefs, the importance of taking small, initial steps to build momentum, and the power of aligning your actions with your authentic self to find true fulfillment.   Key Takeaways:   The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true desires. Self-doubt and limiting beliefs (e.g., "Why would someone hire me?") are the primary obstacles preventing us from taking action, not a lack of resources or skill. You don't need to know every step of the journey to begin. The first step is to simply start and trust that the right people and resources will appear. To overcome the overwhelm of a big goal, break it down into the smallest possible action you can take today. The feeling of joy and fulfillment is a strong indicator that you are on the right path and aligned with your purpose. Leveraging your innate skills (like networking and listening) can provide a unique angle for a new venture you're passionate about. Sharing your goals with a trusted inner circle can provide clarity, encouragement, and the "kick in the butt" needed to get started.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the most powerful question you can ask yourself to overcome fear and self-doubt? How do you identify the specific limiting beliefs that are holding you back? What is the first, smallest step you can take to start building a new business or pursuing a dream? How do you know if a new career path is truly aligned with your purpose? Why is it so important to have a support system or coach when chasing a big goal? How can you use free tools like AI to get started and build momentum? How do you overcome the fear of judgment from others when you start something new? What is the "ripple effect" and how can helping one person impact thousands?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Jim Rohn Concepts: No-Failure Mindset, Self-Doubt, Limiting Beliefs, Inner Critic, Imposter Syndrome, Taking Action, Momentum, Coaching, Purpose, Ripple Effect Tools: ChatGPT (AI) Key Episode Timestamps   00:00 - The Ultimate Question: What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail? 01:35 - The Core Obstacle: The Power of Self-Belief vs. Self-Doubt 04:09 - A Real-Time Example: Greg's Dream of Starting a Coaching Business 07:00 - Unpacking the "Why": Identifying the Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck 08:06 - The Solution: What is the Smallest Action You Can Take Today? 09:30 - The Feeling of Fulfillment: How You Know You're on the Right Path 16:31 - A Key Insight: How to Use Your Natural Talents (Networking) in a New Way 21:06 - The "Kick in the Butt": The Power of Encouragement and Accountability 25:11 - Getting Over the Fear of Judgment and Hitting "Record" 31:42 - The Final Challenge: What ONE Thing Will You Do Today?
