“Send Coach John a message”I found something that I needed - it comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it's from James Clear on the antidote to anxiety:  “Working on a problem reduces fear of it.  It's hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it - even if the progress is imperfect and slow.  Action relieves anxiety.”  This directly ties into something that I learned a long time ago from the awesome book “The Magic of Thinking Big” (but I still am trying to improve on), that Action Cures Fear!  Imperfect action towards accomplishing something is still WAY BETTER than no action at all. Even if we are taking steps backwards, we are still learning.  I'm finding a ton of “advice” lately that I certainly need to pay attention to.  It's amazing the number of clues that are out there for all of us. When I think about it, there is no possible way that we will ever run out of these clues.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

It's a pleasure to have him, and as you'd expect/demand, so much ground gets covered. Silence and not stressing it, a Humble Pie album of all things, podcasting with John Robins, the nuance of performance environments and the beauty of old venues, the weird and not awesome world of early morning comedy gigs, performing standup in Welsh, opportunity and being bold, the long and surprising road to the Albert Hall, football, technology adjusted ambition, the Cymru Connection (and the New York Times discovering it), and other favourite podcasts.

Description: Key Takeaways: Build a Self-Reliant Business: Strong businesses are less dependent on outside systems. Becoming more self-reliant helps improve stability and resilience during unexpected challenges. Invest in Energy Independence: Adding energy solutions like solar panels can reduce electricity costs and protect a business from power outages or rising energy prices. Diversify Your Income: Relying on just one source of income or one supplier increases risk. Having multiple revenue and resource streams helps a business stay competitive. Turn Savings Into Growth: Lowering energy costs can free up money to invest back into the business, creating new opportunities for long-term growth. Use Energy Wisely: Working with the power grid while also building your own energy capacity can create a more reliable and cost-effective energy strategy.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Building Business Independence Like a Sovereign Nation 2:41 Diversifying Business Strategies for Global Success 4:55 Achieving Grid Independence for Energy Security and Flexibility 6:59 Achieving Financial Independence Through Energy Self-Sufficiency 11:01 Improving Balance Sheets Through Smart Money Moves  Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

In this episode of Resilience Unravelled, Dr Russell Thackeray speaks with Veronica Mason, a Sydney-based coach, speaker, and neurotech founder who lives near Bondi Beach and describes the area's intentional, health-conscious community. Mason shares her half-Australian, half-Mauritian upbringing and how feeling different helped her later embrace her identity, including as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, emphasising trusted relationships and advocacy through The Pinnacle Foundation supporting LGBTQIA+ students' education. She recounts a devastating accident at 23 that broke her back in six places, left her unsure if she would walk again, and ended her dream of becoming an international diplomat, requiring her to rebuild her identity and life through physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual recovery. She credits mindset, nutrition, exercise, and personal development resources (Sean Stephenson's The Model Health Project and The Magic of Thinking Big) for post-traumatic growth, graduating from law with honours, working in technology law, and shifting into coaching focused on nervous system regulation, subconscious blockers, and a “self MBA” approach.00:00 Welcome And Reset00:29 Life In Bondi02:18 Background And Identity04:13 Fitting In And Drive06:09 LGBTQ Resilience09:00 Back Injury Turning Point13:06 Mindset And Meaning14:38 Tools Books And Biohacks15:45 Coaching And Self MBA17:42 Connect And Final ThoughtYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this empowering episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Speaker A welcomes Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs from Huddle for Success, a dynamic duo with over 70 years of combined experience in business coaching, high-performance strategies, and entrepreneurial mentorship. Their mission? To help professionals and entrepreneurs break through plateaus, rewire their mindset, and craft extraordinary results, both in business and in life. Mark Bruce, who achieved financial independence by the age of 36 via real estate and franchising, and Duane Gibbs, a veteran coach who has spent three decades guiding leaders to smash limiting beliefs, offer a practical, motivating roadmap for anyone ready to reinvent themselves or uplevel their goals. What You'll Discover in This Episode The Power of Mindset From the start, Speaker A delves into Mark's unique journey—launching his first business at 26 and semi-retiring by 36. Mark credits his success to a foundation laid by his father, a lifelong sports coach, and the consistent influence of entrepreneurial mentors throughout his upbringing (01:42). He highlights how early exposure to personal development books like Think and Grow Rich and The Magic of Thinking Big fostered a can-do attitude and goal-oriented mindset, further amplified by the support and drive of his equally motivated wife (02:45). Duane follows up with insights from 30 years of coaching high performers, revealing that the greatest mental barrier is often a sense of urgency—"time is running out"—and the desire for true choice and autonomy in one's later career years (04:46). He points out that, for many, wealth and success are more about flexibility, fulfillment, and creating time, not just accumulating dollars. Why Success Is a Team Sport Mark and Duane passionately discuss their use of sports language—huddle, playbook—and why these metaphors are so vital. Drawing parallels between athletic and business performance, Mark stresses that, much like in sports, success is never a solo endeavor. Even "individual" athletes have an ecosystem of coaches, trainers, and supporters; similarly, entrepreneurs and professionals benefit immensely from mastermind groups and collaborative teams (05:42; 12:43). Duane relates the explosion in mastermind groups and collaborative spaces post-pandemic to the reality that collective brainstorming and problem-solving outperform even the most talented lone star. If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room (17:44). Both guests highlight the crucial need for nurturing relationships, building networks, and never stopping learning from others. Mastering Belief and Overcoming Setbacks Drawing from Napoleon Hill's core lesson that “belief is everything,” Duane and Mark detail their process for helping clients conquer self-doubt and limiting beliefs (06:53). By peeling back the layers, they help clients discover root pain points—which might stem from childhood programming or past failures—and then implement practical strategies to rewire for growth. They candidly share early mistakes that became life-changing lessons (such as Mark's hard-won education in real estate cycles and Duane's experience learning to separate emotion from investing), demonstrating that every setback is a seed for wisdom—if you're willing to reflect and adapt (08:44; 10:29). The Truth About Real Wealth One of the episode's standout segments tackles the misconceptions around wealth (23:43). For Duane and Mark, true wealth isn't tied to a dollar amount. Instead, "money is a result, not a cause." They urge listeners to define wealth based on what they want to experience—whether that's more time, freedom, or the ability to take care of their loved ones. Real financial independence, they argue, comes from clarifying your personal “why,” tolerating the right level of investing risk, and building a life where work, relationships, health, and meaning are all in harmony. Goal Setting and the Power of Rituals Why do so many people set goals and never reach them? The duo breaks down common pitfalls—like setting uninspiring goals or focusing on what you think you can easily accomplish instead of aiming at big, “hairy, audacious goals” that truly ignite desire (21:13). They share techniques from Think and Grow Rich and modern coaching, such as daily affirmations, gratitude journaling, and visualizing your day each morning, to wire the subconscious for higher achievement (26:07). Reinvention at Any Age A recurring theme is that it's never too late to reinvent yourself (30:38). Both Mark and Duane share relatable, vulnerable stories—stepping out of comfort zones, leaving lucrative careers, or launching new ventures later in life. Their message: If you listen to the inner call, silence the doubting “voice on your shoulder,” and take action before you feel ready, you'll discover new levels of fulfillment and possibility. Audience Q&A: Investing for the Next Generation The live element of the podcast shines when a listener's question sparks a deep dive into wealth-building options for kids and grandkids. Mark and Duane offer specific, educational advice on using tools like Coverdell accounts, buying mortgage notes, and even exploring Bitcoin as long-term, diversified investments (39:04). Their transparency about risk, timeline, and the power of research is invaluable for anyone seeking to make smarter choices for family legacies. What Does “You Were Born Rich” Really Mean? For Mark and Duane, being "born rich" isn't about trust funds—it's about innate potential. Each of us is born with more talent and ability than we'll ever fully use; the key is to recognize, develop, and deploy those gifts to lead a fulfilling life. As they quote, “Your gift to God should be to make the most of your talent and ability in your lifetime” (48:06). Relationships, Health, and Purpose: The Real Wealth Scorecard As the conversation rounds out, the importance of balancing all aspects of life comes into focus. Mark and Duane introduce their ten-part personal growth scorecard—assessing career, relationships, health, spirituality, and more—to help clients and listeners see where they're thriving and where they need support (49:43). Actionable Mindset Shifts for the Year Ahead The episode closes with concrete mindset shifts: practice daily gratitude, be willing to change and grow, never forget where you came from, and embrace the journey with humility (56:33). If you do, say Mark and Duane, you'll naturally align your life toward growth, fulfillment, and authentic wealth. Who Should Listen This episode is a must for: Entrepreneurs, professionals, or anyone who feels "stuck" and wants to break plateaus Athletes or former athletes eager to translate their competitive mindset into business or personal success Listeners who want to redefine wealth, set meaningful goals that stick, or create a purpose-driven life Anyone curious about mastermind groups, daily rituals for success, or practical investing advice for themselves and their families Resources and How to Connect Download the free Playbook for Life and book a complimentary 45-minute "huddle session" with Mark and Duane at huddleforsuccess.com (59:05) Explore additional resources, coaching programs, and mastermind opportunities Find inspiration no matter your starting point, background, or age Tune in and learn how to build your ultimate playbook for life—where mindset, collaborative strategy, and small daily wins compound into a fulfilling legacy.

It's not, 'I'll get around to it someday.' It's critical." "Marketing is getting your message out. It's a promotion. It's getting your message out in front of people with the intention of attracting them to you." "If it's not relevant, your message will be ignored." "If you're all prospecting, it's tiring. It's a grind. But as you market your product, service, or brand better, you start to attract people to you, and you catch them later on in the process." "Most people don't have the patience to pay themselves first, make their savings automatic, and let it build over time. That takes a unique, disciplined mindset, but it's extremely powerful when you do." "When you learn how money really works, it sometimes sheds light on what you were or weren't taught when you were younger." "Sometimes we don't have the vision yet. Sometimes we're not clear on it, and creating that vision can be a process." "Everyone in an organization, whether you're in sales, marketing, customer service, a clerk, or whatever, should know who the customer is. We should all know our value, and we should all know how to talk about it." "You get clarity through imperfect action. You start heading in a direction you think is right, make some mistakes along the way, and make adjustments. That's when clarity starts to come." "Just about everybody trying to produce any kind of result, it boils down to confidence. Because if you don't have that, you won't get to the next stage." "You don't want just word of mouth. You want to get connected with people. So use the word that represents that." "The hidden heists are the limiting beliefs and mistaken assumptions we all have around money. There's a lot of money story going on for us." "If you're stuck somewhere, the first place to go isn't necessarily strategy or tactics.

What you allow into your mind every day is shaping your confidence, your courage, and your capacity to dream bigger, whether you realize it or not. In this episode, I dive into Chapter 7 of The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz and explore the concept of your mental diet; the thoughts, conversations, media, and environments you consume daily. Just like your physical diet impacts your body, your mental diet directly influences your belief in what's possible for your life. Hear about the importance of creating psychological sunshine outside of your work: seeking inspiration, protecting your energy, and being intentional about who and what you give your attention to. I also share why avoiding chronic naysayers isn't about arrogance or avoidance, it's about guarding your belief long enough for it to grow. This episode is an invitation to audit what's feeding your mind, challenge the limits you've accepted, and recommit to the idea that your life expands in proportion to your belief.

What if the reason you haven't created the life you know you're capable of has nothing to do with discipline, intelligence, or motivation — and everything to do with what your brain believes is "realistic" for you?   In this episode, we're diving deep into the neuroscience behind possibility, belief, and why so many high-achieving women stay stuck repeating the same year over and over — even when they want more.   You'll learn how your brain forms a possibility map that quietly dictates what you pursue, what feels safe, and what you automatically rule out. We'll unpack why "realistic goals" often keep you small, how your fear center and filtering system work against big visions, and why thinking bigger is actually easier — and more motivating — for your brain than thinking small.   This conversation will challenge you to re-evaluate the goals you've set for 2026 and ask the question most people avoid: Is this actually big enough to require a new version of me?   If you're ready to stop playing within the limits of your past and start expanding what feels possible for your future, this episode will completely change the way you think about goals, growth, and what you're capable of creating next.

Welcome to another episode of HALO Talks! Host Pete Moore sits down with branding expert and MonoGram Group founder Scott Markman for a wide-ranging conversation on private equity, marketing, and the art of standing out in a competitive landscape. From Scott's early days building powerhouse brands in PE—like Antares Capital—to the inside stories and lessons learned from working with over 100 PE firms, you'll get a front-row seat to how branding and storytelling have evolved in finance and beyond. Pete and Scott riff on everything from the importance of humanizing private equity to the bold branding of consumer favorites like Liquid Death. You'll hear candid insights on how to keep brand integrity alive, the power of team sports mentality in business, and the struggle to get new industry terms—like "HALO"—to catch on. It's definitely a no-holes-barred, no-nonsense chat guaranteed to inspire anyone growing their business, building a brand, or navigating the always frothy private equity world. Listen now for some straight talk, a few laughs, and real advice you can use! Regarding how to stand out in private equity, Markman states, "Just get something that you believe in that is true, that is understandable, that you can rent, repeat 100,000 times. And if you can do that, you're going to be way ahead of anybody else because the bar is set in private equity very low." Key themes discussed Branding strategies for private equity firms. Humanizing and differentiating in competitive markets. The importance of storytelling in marketing. Leveraging brand equity and reputation management. Risk-taking and thinking big in brand building (e.g. Liquid Death.) Optimizing portfolio company operations and collaboration. Building and scaling industry categories, like HALO. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Brand Differentiation in Private Equity Matters: Scott emphasized that PE firms often focus too much on facts, figures, and professional credentials, but overlook the human and brand elements that truly set them apart. Building trust and emotional connection with company owners and deal partners is a core differentiator in a market that's becoming increasingly commoditized. 2. The Power of Storytelling and Consistency: Markman stressed that defining a clear, consistent message and sticking with it is critical. He compared this to the power of Starbucks' branding, noting that the companies that repeat and reinforce their message, vision, and values win in the long haul. 3. Thinking Big in Branding Works: The two also discussed the branding of Liquid Death and how audacious, risk-taking approaches can differentiate brands in even the most commoditized of categories (like bottled water!) Scott praised the boldness of such campaigns and pointed out that creative, gutsy execution can sometimes pay off big! 4. PE Firms Undervalue Internal Collaboration Across Portfolio Companies: Scott and Pete also observed that many PE firms miss out on synergies by not sharing best practices, vendors, or marketing expertise across portfolio companies. While some firms coordinate shared services, most still operate in silos, missing out on substantial value creation. 5. Branding the HALO Sector—A Movement in Progress: Pete shifted to the effort to brand "HALO" (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoors) as its own sector, rather than lumping it under generic terms like "wellness" or the word-salad that often results when people try to describe the space. He shared his long-term vision to make "HALO" the go-to term in industry circles, highlighting the uphill journey from grassroots advocacy to a recognized category and the importance of relentless, repetitive communication to achieve that.

Imagine a small town where neighbors gather for every celebration, and people stay remarkably healthy simply because they're deeply connected. Research shows that meaningful relationships—not achievement, diet, or even exercise—are the strongest predictor of long-term health and happiness, while loneliness can be as harmful as smoking two packs a day. Our social bonds influence gene expression, lowering stress and inflammation and activating the body's natural healing pathways. By prioritizing kindness, investing in uplifting relationships, and creating simple moments of togetherness, we tap into one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. And the hopeful truth is that building just a few authentic connections can change your life in profound, measurable ways. In this episode, I discuss, along with Radha Agrawal and Jeff Rosenthal, why deep, authentic connection is one of the most powerful determinants of our physical health, happiness, and longevity. Radha Agrawal is the co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early-morning dance and wellness movement. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of a new book called Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. Jeff is the Co-Founder of Summit, a cutting-edge organization best known for hosting global ideas, festivals and events, and is the co-owner, principal designer, and developer of Summit Powder Mountain and Powder Mountain ski resort in Eden, Utah.
