Podcasts about time freedom

You started your business for more freedom.So…why are you working more hours, answering messages on vacation, staying late for the one patient who "can only do 5pm," and feeling guilty anytime you need to change your schedule?

Welcome to Good Shift—our weekly series where I take one of my favorite entries from the Makes Sense Substack and bring it to life right here on the podcast. Today's Good Shift is about the Automatic Yes—and why learning to pause before you commit might be one of the most powerful ways to protect the life you're designing. Let's get into some Good Shift. How many times have you said “yes” before you ever stopped to ask whether you actually wanted to? Inspired by an August 26th entry from Jim Kwik's Limitless Daily, this episode explores the hidden cost of the automatic “yes”—and why every commitment misaligned with your goals, purpose, and future may actually be a “no” to the person you're becoming. We'll look at how people-pleasing, fear, habit, and conditioned reflexes can cause us to surrender our time, energy, attention, and carency before we've consciously decided where they belong. The Good Shift? You don't have to answer right away. This is where the power of “Hmmm” comes in. By creating space between the request and your response, you give yourself an opportunity to look at the decision Whole-O-Graphically. Does this choice nourish your terrain or plant another weed? Does it support the life you're designing, or quietly pull you away from it? Sometimes the most powerful “yes” you can give yourself is a well-placed “no.” In this episode, we explore how pausing before committing can help you reclaim your attention, protect your energy, consciously distribute your trust, and become the Architect of where your life goes next. Because your future isn't just shaped by what you choose to do. It's also shaped by what you finally give yourself permission to decline. Make sense?

What happens to human intelligence in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence? In this special conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned brain coach and bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore his new book, Limitless Daily, and why developing our own minds may be more important now than ever. As AI becomes faster, smarter, and more integrated into everyday life, Jim makes the case that Artificial Intelligence still depends on Human Intelligence—our ability to think critically, ask better questions, remain curious, learn faster, remember what matters, and consciously direct our attention. But becoming limitless isn't something you do once. It's something you practice daily. Jim shares the philosophy behind Limitless Daily, a book designed to give you a powerful lesson, insight, or mental reset every day of the year. Think of it as daily training for your brain—a way to intentionally win the morning before the world gets a chance to program your mind for you. JC also shares how reading Limitless Daily each morning became an unexpected companion during his cancer recovery, often delivering exactly the lesson, perspective, or question he needed that particular day. This conversation explores brain health, focus, memory, mindset, morning routines, lifelong learning, the relationship between AI and HI, and what it really means to become limitless—not by doing more, but by learning how to better use the most powerful technology you'll ever possess: Your own mind. If you've been wondering how to stay focused, capable, creative, and distinctly human in the age of AI, this conversation with Jim Kwik is one you won't want to miss.

Your brain already made up its mind about today's episode, and you haven't even heard the topic yet. That's not a guilt trip; that's neuroscience. In the next few seconds, your mind will label this video interesting or skip it, useful or not, right up your alley or not, and it will do all of that before you have any real information.

What if the hardest moments of your life aren't interruptions to the plan—but part of the blueprint? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we explore the difference between a life that simply happens to you and a life intentionally designed by you. Inspired by a recent conversation with Jack Daly and the philosophy behind his book Life by Design, Dr. JC challenges us to consider an uncomfortable question: Have you actually designed the life you're living, or have you mostly been reacting to the one you were handed? We often spend more time planning vacations, careers, and purchases than we do consciously designing our values, relationships, health, purpose, and legacy. But becoming the Architect of Your Life doesn't mean controlling everything that happens. It means deciding who you will become in response to what happens. Sometimes the greatest teachers arrive disguised as setbacks, adversity, trauma, loss, and even a life-changing diagnosis. These experiences can disrupt the life we planned while simultaneously revealing the life we actually want to live. They clarify what matters, expose what doesn't, and remind us just how precious our time really is. The Good Shift is recognizing that adversity doesn't always destroy the blueprint. Sometimes adversity gives you the blueprint. This episode invites you to reclaim the steering wheel, stop letting circumstances dictate your identity, and intentionally design the person you want to be and the life you want to live. Because if you don't consciously design your reality, there will always be people, circumstances, fears, and expectations willing to design it for you. It's time to look in the mirror, reclaim the keys of trust, and start living full out—not as the person the world expects you to be, but as the person you choose to become.

What if everything you believe about why you are 'you' is wrong? My guest today has spent his career studying the brain at Johns Hopkins — and a few years ago, he was told he had six to twelve months to live. Today, we're talking about what he's learned on both sides of that line. We're going to get into why 'nature versus nurture' is, in his words, scientifically lazy — and what's actually shaping your personality, your preferences, even who you're attracted to. We're going to talk about a discovery about sexual sensation in the body that's only a few years old. And we're going to talk about what facing death taught him about time, gratitude, and identity that no textbook ever could.

My guest today spent two decades inside Scientology — fourteen of those years inside the Sea Organization, the most demanding, most secretive inner circle the church has. She interviewed John Travolta. She watched up close how power moved around Tom Cruise. And then one day, she walked away from all of it, with nothing, and had to figure out how to become a person again. Today she's turned that story into a TikTok series that's exploded — not just with ex-Scientologists, but with anyone who's ever had to leave a system that told them who to be. We're going to talk about what it's actually like inside the Sea Org, the moment she knew she had to leave, and what nobody tells you about starting over.

Your brain already ran its program this morning — before your feet hit the floor. That's not a metaphor. Neuroscience shows your brain boots up yesterday's emotional patterns automatically, the same way an AI model repeats whatever it was trained on. So here's the real question: who's writing the code today — you, or the world? In the next few minutes, I'm going to show you why a two-word gratitude practice is the single most powerful override for your morning routine — and why it's not sentimental; it's strategic.

What if the thing that finally stopped your addiction... wasn't willpower? Today I'm sitting down with Matt Grace — a man who went from Ritalin to crystal meth to arrests and overdoses, and is now, twenty years later, the guy that Manhattan's wealthiest families call when their kid is dying from the same thing he almost died from. He's about to tell you the one thing his own parents did that kept him sick for years — and why he says addiction never lies, but families do. This is not a sanitized recovery story.

In this episode of The Prophetic Voice of Our Time, Christina Sosso continues teaching on the biblical call to make disciples of all nations—not simply by preaching, but by bringing God’s principles into the marketplace, government, business, and every area of society. She explores the biblical roles of kings, priests, and prophets, emphasizing the importance of spiritual maturity, wisdom, leadership, and understanding how God’s ways apply to real-world issues. This challenging message calls believers to stop merely criticizing the world and instead become informed, effective leaders who bring positive change through God’s wisdom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Imagine finishing your work week on Friday, flying to Nepal, summiting Mount Everest — and being back at your desk by the following Monday. Håkon and Hanne Hyttedalen are Norwegian consultants. They work full-time in corporate Oslo. And they have also won ultra trail races, run the UTMB around Mont Blanc, completed a 160-kilometer mountain race in a blizzard with a 77% DNF rate — and this May, they stood on the summit of the highest point on Earth. Together. As a married couple. Today we're getting into exactly how they do it — how they train two hours a day without burning out, what it feels like to nearly not make it off a mountain, and whether any of this is actually accessible to the rest of us.

Ninety-two percent of people who set a goal this year will abandon it before spring. Not from lack of motivation — because they tried to change what they do without deciding who they are first. Today, Dr. JC breaks down the identity-first mindset: how your habits, your routines, even how you respond to a diagnosis, are votes for who you've already decided to become. By the end of this episode, you'll stop asking what you want — and start asking who you're becoming.     ollow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy:► Makes Sense Substack - https://drjcdoornick.substack.com ► Instagram: / drjcdoornick ► Substack: / drjcdoornick ►Facebook:  / makessensepodcast ►YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

What if the freedom you've been searching for isn't found in a better planner, a more efficient morning routine, or another productivity system? In this encouraging episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel Ai Reavis explores a transformative perspective: true time freedom isn't simply about having more hours—it's about increasing your energetic availability and capacity. Drawing from personal reflection and years of supporting spiritual entrepreneurs, she offers a compassionate framework for understanding why so many purpose-driven business owners still feel exhausted, even when they're doing everything "right."Listeners will discover the difference between time management and energy management, learn how energetic availability and energetic capacity shape every client session, creative project, and business decision, and recognize the subtle signs of depletion that often go unnoticed. Michel also shares the important distinction between rest and true replenishment, offering gentle, practical ways to refill the well before burnout takes hold.Whether you're a coach, healer, astrologer, intuitive, or heart-centered entrepreneur, this episode is a loving reminder that your greatest business asset isn't your strategy or your schedule—it's your presence. By honoring your energy with the same devotion you give your clients, you can cultivate a business that feels spacious, sustainable, and deeply aligned with your purpose.Action Steps:*Track Your Energy for One WeekAt the end of each day, ask yourself:What filled me today?What drained me today?Begin noticing patterns in your work, relationships, and daily rhythms.*Schedule Replenishment FirstChoose one activity that genuinely restores your energy, whether it's time in nature, silence, creative play, movement, or quiet reflection, and place it on your calendar before your workday begins.*Honor Your Natural PaceInstead of measuring success by how much you accomplish, experiment with moving at the speed your energy allows. Notice how this affects your creativity, clarity, and overall sense of peace.*Redefine Time FreedomRather than asking, "How can I fit more into my day?" begin asking, "How can I become more fully present in the hours I already have?"Journaling Prompts:When do I feel the most energetically alive, present, and connected in my business? What conditions make that possible?What activities, relationships, or habits consistently drain my energy, and what loving boundaries or systems could help protect my capacity?If I truly believed my energy was my most valuable business asset, what would I begin doing differently this week?Share the Love:If you've ever felt like there simply aren't enough hours in the day—or enough of you to go around—this episode offers a compassionate new perspective that may completely change how you think about time, productivity, and success.Listen in, reflect on what resonates, and if this conversation encourages you, please share it with another spiritual entrepreneur who could use this reminder. Together, we can build businesses that are supported not by constant striving, but by presence, replenishment, and sustainable energy. Your review, subscription, and shares help the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs continue reaching those who need this message most.

What if the thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live… isn't your circumstances, your resources, or your talent — but one invisible enemy inside your own mind? My guest today spent thirty years broke, overlooked, and grinding before the world ever heard his name. He drove trucks. He tended bars. He wrote scripts nobody bought. And then he sat down and wrote a book that redefined how artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs think about their own psychology. Steven Pressfield has one name for what's stopping you — and once he tells you what it is, you will never unsee it. Stay with us. This one is going to hit different.

You will spend more energy this week trying to control things you have zero power over than on anything you can actually change. Zero. And it's exhausting you. There's a river that never fights the boulder in its path — it just flows around it. Today I'm showing you how to become that river. This is the Untouchable Flow — the mindset shift that took me from fearing my own diagnosis to finding more peace than I've ever had.

What would you do if you had lost everything — your home, your freedom, your will to live — and the only thing you had left was a decision? My guest today hit every one of those walls. He was homeless. He sat behind bars. He tried to end his life. And then — somehow — he went on to build an 800% sales turnaround at a dealership most people had written off, become a national speaker spotlighted on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and raise nine kids along the way. Today Glenn Lundy is going to tell us exactly what broke him, what rebuilt him, and the dead-simple morning practice he says anyone can use to stop surviving and start performing. Stay with us — because the moment he tells you what he was doing at 4 am that changed his entire life, you will not want to go back to the way you've been starting your days.   Follow Glen Lundy:  Web / https://www.800percent.life IG / @glenn_lundy Facebook For Morning Rise and Grind / https://www.facebook.com/800percent.life     Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy:► Makes Sense Substack - https://drjcdoornick.substack.com ► Instagram: / drjcdoornick ► Substack: / drjcdoornick ►Facebook:  / makessensepodcast ►YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

What if having more time isn't the same thing as feeling free? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Ann Tsung, a NASA flight surgeon, triple board-certified emergency physician, entrepreneur, and mom, to explore one of the biggest misconceptions about productivity: that if we could just free up our calendars, we'd finally feel at peace. But as Ann shares from her own sabbatical and travels abroad, time freedom isn't just about controlling your schedule. It's about transforming your relationship with time. Together, we explore: the five stages of time freedom why "fake time freedom" keeps so many high-achievers feeling stressed the difference between managing your time and managing your energy why white space on your calendar can feel surprisingly uncomfortable how outsourcing, boundaries, and nervous system regulation work together why saying "yes" to everything keeps us trapped in scarcity and how creating space for possibility often leads to the moments that matter most One of my favorite insights from this conversation is that the goal isn't simply to optimize every minute. Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen precisely because we left room for them. If you've ever wondered why a full calendar doesn't always equal a full life, this conversation offers a completely different way of thinking about success, rest, and what it really means to experience time freedom.

Great Morning, Humans, Great Morning, World. I am Dr. JC Doornick, AKA the Dragon. Welcome to the Makes Sense Podcast, and welcome to the Uprising of the sleepwalking masses. Here's a bold statement: 99% of the emotional pain you feel today isn't happening to you — it's happening to a costume you're wearing. Napoleon Hill called it indifference. I call it the Unshakable Mindset. And today, I'm going to show you the exact four-step system I am using — right now, in real time — to stay architecturally sound while the world tries to shake me. If you've ever wondered how some people seem completely unbothered while everyone else is a puppet on a string... stay with me. This one might change how you respond to everything.

What if the most transformative experiences of your life — crisis, loss, near-death — aren't things that happen TO you… But things that can permanently wake you UP? My guest today has spent two decades collecting the evidence. He's a psychology lecturer, a bestselling author in over 20 languages, and someone Eckhart Tolle called a vital voice for the shift in human consciousness. Today we're going into the psychology of awakening, why he believes the ego isn't your true self but an evolutionary accident — and why he thinks the Beatles were tapping into something most of us never access. Stay with me — this one will change how you see your own mind.   Connext With Steve Website- Books: / https://www.stevenmtaylor.com/ IG: / @stevetaylorauthor     Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy:► Makes Sense Substack - https://drjcdoornick.substack.com ► Instagram: / drjcdoornick ► Substack: / drjcdoornick ►Facebook:  / makessensepodcast ►YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

Here's something nobody tells you about a cancer diagnosis: it might be the most clarifying moment of your entire life. Studies show that up to 70% of cancer survivors report what psychologists call post-traumatic growth — not just surviving, but becoming. Today we're going somewhere most podcasts are too afraid to go. We're asking whether a terminal diagnosis could actually be a spiritual breakthrough — a forced consciousness shift that delivers the radical authenticity and flow state you've spent your whole life chasing.

What if the most powerful therapy available right now isn't in a clinic? Is it in a jungle? My guest today has sat in a ceremony with hundreds of people. He's guided them through Ayahuasca in the Amazon, through the full-force blast of 5-MeO-DMT from Bufo toad venom, through peyote, San Pedro, and mushrooms, and he has seen people fall apart and put themselves back together in a single weekend. But he's also seen how it could go wrong. And that's exactly what we need to talk about. Billy Venkatraman is a life coach, a CBT and NLP-trained practitioner, and the founder of I AM TRIBE — and he's here to give you the most honest conversation about plant medicine you've probably ever heard.

Here's a question that might sting a little — who has power over you right now? Because if you're honest... it's anyone whose approval you need. Research shows that the human brain is wired to treat social rejection the same way it treats a physical threat. Your nervous system literally cannot tell the difference. But what if the most radical act of personal power wasn't fighting harder — it was wanting less? Today we're talking about strategic indifference: the IRS Process principle that the ancient Stoics figured out thousands of years ago — and that most people will never use.

What if one unexpected event, a partnership ending, a pandemic, a health crisis, or losing a major client could completely disrupt your business? More importantly, how do you build a health coaching business that can survive every setback? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet shares the real business journey behind building a resilient Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practice. From launching a personal training studio at age 22 to navigating failed partnerships, COVID shutdowns, personal health struggles, pregnancy, and unexpected client loss, Michele explains how every challenge became an opportunity to build a stronger business. She reveals why relying on a single income source leaves many health professionals vulnerable and how creating multiple streams of income transformed her career. Michele discusses premium one-on-one coaching, scalable group programs, recurring memberships, digital products, affiliate partnerships, corporate wellness contracts, and practitioner supplement dispensaries as sustainable ways to create long-term business stability. The conversation also explores how Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Functional Lab Testing, Health Coaching, and a Root Cause Healing approach not only restored Michele's own health but also expanded her ability to help women struggling with Hormone Imbalance, Burnout, Bloating, anxiety, weight gain, and other chronic health challenges through Functional Health. Designed for aspiring FDN Practitioners, Functional Health Practitioners, wellness entrepreneurs, and health coaches, this episode provides practical insights into building a business that supports both financial growth and personal freedom. Michele explains why boundaries, recurring revenue, diversified income, and scalable offers allow practitioners to serve more people without sacrificing their own health or family life. Whether you're starting your first Health Coaching practice or looking to scale an established business, this episode delivers actionable strategies for creating a resilient, profitable, and purpose-driven business built to thrive through life's inevitable challenges.

After hearing his young children cry, "Daddy, don't leave us," Scott Curry made a decision that would eventually change not only his own future, but his life's mission. What began as a desire to create more freedom for his family led him to build a successful YouTube business and recurring membership community.

The night in the ER that changed everything. After being diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer, Dr. JC Doornick found himself overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, and an endless stream of advice from well-meaning people. But instead of asking only how to fight the cancer, he began asking a different question: What allowed it to grow in the first place? In this deeply personal episode, Dr. JC shares the story of his diagnosis for the first time and introduces a powerful mindset shift inspired by his Interface Response System (IRS): before you plant new seeds, you must first pull the weeds. Learn why healing isn't just about treatments, supplements, or new habits—it's about transforming the terrain of your mind, body, and life so that health can thrive. Whether you're facing illness, burnout, grief, or any major life challenge, this episode will help you stop chasing solutions and start creating the conditions for lasting change.

Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episodeYour podcast doesn't have a consistency problem — it has a workflow problem.If you're recording, editing, creating graphics, and uploading all in the same week on repeat, you're not just tired.

Brian Herriot, author of Time Freedom, shares how to take control of your time before retirementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If AI writes a better prompt than you can now, what are you still being paid for? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle is joined by two of his closest collaborators, Brian Piper, content and AI integration consultant and co-author of Epic Content Marketing Volume 2, and Dr. Matt Wilkinson, founder of UK agency Strivenn and author of the forthcoming Buyer in the Loop. A month earlier, the three shared a stage at Mark Schaefer's Uprising retreat, building one marketing plan together, each orchestrating their own team of AI helpers to pull it off. Their answer to the question above is discernment. The AI handles the prompting now and most of the drafting. What it can't do is know when an output is wrong, when a claim is weak, when "good enough" isn't. That judgment comes from years of doing the work, and it's the one thing you bring to the machine that the machine can't supply for itself. The same idea runs through everything else they get into: why enterprise AI rollouts keep stalling, why "saving time" never seems to free anyone up, and why the white-collar-apocalypse story makes better clickbait than it does prediction. Listen in and hear about... Why discernment, not prompting, is the skill that holds its value in the AI era What actually went into co-building a campaign live at Mark Schaefer's Uprising retreat The change-management gap behind most failed enterprise AI rollouts Why "AI will take your job" is quietly sabotaging adoption from the inside How going solo became more connected, not more lonely Notable Quotes from Brian Piper and Matt Wilkinson "I think where it really excels is when you tie in expertise, you know, and you talked about building that discernment into the prompt and into the structure of your models that you're using." - Brian Piper "We have this extra time that AI has given us. Now the really strategic part is figuring out how you're going to use that time and how you're going to spend that time in a way that benefits your organization the most or benefits your customer the most." - Brian Piper "Otherwise the world is just going to be full of AI slop. But we can really use AI to increase the way that we think, the way that we engage with the information that we have." - Matt Wilkinson "There is no incentive to work with the AI to teach the AI to take over the tasks that you're doing, because then the AI can take your job. So why are you training up your replacement?" - Matt Wilkinson "I felt lonelier working at an organization than I did now that I'm on my own." - Brian Piper Resources and Links Dan Nestle Lilypath | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Matt Wilkinson Strivenn | Website Dr. Matt Wilkinson | Website Matt Wilkinson | LinkedIn Brian Piper Brian W.

What if the wealthiest person in the room isn't the one with the biggest bank account? What if it's the one who can take a Tuesday lunch with their kid, go fly fishing mid-week, and fall asleep at night without anxiety eating them alive? Because I know people making five million a year who can't do any of that. And I know people making 120 grand who are living fuller, freer, and happier than most. So who's actually richer? In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I break down what I call the Seven Freedoms Framework, the exact philosophy I use to design my own dream reality and help others do the same. This episode isn't about telling you money is bad or that ambition is wrong. It's about getting honest with yourself on what you're actually building toward, and whether the life you're grinding for is one you'd actually want to live. Here's the big shift: most entrepreneurs think what they're chasing will give them the feeling they crave. But once the money shows up, a lot of them find out they're burnt out, stressed, disconnected from their kids, strangers to their spouse, and nowhere near as happy as they thought they'd be. The problem isn't success. It's that we've been measuring the wrong thing. Freedom, not finances, is the real metric that matters. Here are the key takeaways from this episode: Time Freedom. Can you control your calendar, or does it control you? Nearly 70% of Americans say they feel disengaged at work, and most high earners report feeling time broke even when they're cash rich. You can always make more money. You cannot make more sunsets with your kids. You cannot get back the Sunday you missed or the date night you skipped. Do an audit this week. Delete and delegate whatever is draining your energy and stealing your aliveness. Location Freedom. Environment dictates happiness more than most people realize. Are you where you want to be? I didn't want to be suffocating in a city. I wanted mountain air, rivers, nature, places where I could hunt, fish, camp, and breathe. So I built my business around that. If you can't say you're living and working where you feel most alive, that's worth paying attention to. Where you are matters. Build around it. Financial Freedom. And let me be clear, this isn't about buying Lambos. It's about recurring income, low stress, high margins, and real options. Most people wildly overestimate what they actually need to feel financially fulfilled. Reduce lifestyle inflation. Stop buying status symbols that impress others but mean nothing to you. Build income streams that give you breathing room, not just a bigger number on a screen. The goal is to work less and make more, not grind more and pray harder. Creative Freedom. The ultimate flex is waking up genuinely stoked to work. Not dragging yourself to a laptop. Not grinding through tasks you hate. Podcasting, writing, speaking, creating, those are things I love. What would you be doing if nobody judged you? That answer is probably what your soul is calling you toward. Step into that and serve people from that place. That's where your real power lives. Health Freedom. Your body is the vehicle for all of it. Nearly 80% of entrepreneurs say they're on the brink of burnout or have recently burned out. If you've got money but you're inflamed, exhausted, and disconnected, you are not free. Move your body. Get outside. Do the breath work, the sauna, the cold plunge, the things that keep you sharp and whole. Pour from your overflow, not your empty. Relationship Freedom. What's the point of building an empire if you become a stranger to your family? Most entrepreneurs I know sacrifice their marriage, miss their kids' childhood moments, lose friendships, and let go of hobbies they actually love. That's not winning. Schedule the date nights, the device-free dinners, the camping trips, the deep conversations. Studies show experiences create longer lasting happiness than any material purchase ever will. YOLO, my friend. Do the damn thing. Spiritual Freedom. This one brings it all home. Freedom from comparison. Freedom from ego. Freedom from external validation and fear. Being connected to something bigger than yourself, to God, to your divine calling, to whatever gives your life real meaning beyond the grind. Ask yourself what you're actually chasing and why. Is it aligned with who you were created to be? That's the question worth sitting with. At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder that Happy Hustlin' isn't about doing more. It's about being more intentional with what you're building, so the life you create actually feels like freedom. The wealthiest people I know aren't always the richest financially. They're the freest. And that's who I'm competing to be every single day. If you're a high achiever who's tired of grinding toward a finish line that keeps moving, and you're ready to start measuring your life by freedom instead of finances, this episode is for you.

Ericka Barnes first appeared on the Journey to Launch podcast in 2019 to share how she reached financial independence in her mid-30s. Since then, her life has looked nothing like a straight line; divorce, layoffs, a new marriage, and a second retirement later, she's back to share the full story. In this brand new episode, Ericka walks us through what she's been up to since our last conversation, from rebuilding financially after a divorce, to reaching chubby FIRE  (Financial Independence Retire Early) in 2023. The financial foundation she had built; real estate, index funds, and a prenup, turned out to be more than a wealth strategy. It was the infrastructure that protected her when life got complicated. Today, Ericka and her husband are fully work-optional, house hacking in St. Croix while splitting time between Atlanta and the US Virgin Islands. This episode is a powerful reminder that financial independence isn't just about retiring early, it's about having the stability and options to navigate whatever life brings, rebuild when necessary, and ultimately design a life on your own terms. In this episode, Ericka shares: How she rediscovered her love of creative writing and the two books she is publishing this year How a prenup protected her financially and emotionally through divorce and why every couple should consider one Why she went back to work after lean firing, what chubby FIRE actually feels like, and the key difference between the two The case for geo arbitrage in a US territory and how she and her husband bought a home in St. Croix with a built-in tenant to offset the mortgage What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Ericka's first episode on the podcast: From Making $35,000 A Year To Being A Millionaire with Ericka Grant The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins: jlcollinsnh.com Afford Anything Podcast: affordanything.com Check out the FIRE Calc Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

One of the biggest reasons people start a business…is freedom.  Freedom to: Work the hours you want  Pick your kids up from school  Travel  Control your schedule But somewhere along the way…the dream turns into a nightmare.You started the business for freedom, but... 

What happens when you stop trading endless hours for mediocre results and switch to a service that actually gives you your time back?In this student spotlight episode, I'm chatting with Natasha, a mom of two from Los Angeles who spent seven years in the online space doing branding, web design, and, most recently, Pinterest management. She was working hours upon hours for clients paying $775 to $997 a month and couldn't even see clear results from her efforts.Then she joined Conversions for Clients, landed two ad clients within two weeks at $1,000 each, and made her entire investment back before the 45-day mark.The best part? She went from not being able to track her time because she was always working to spending maybe 10 hours a month on her ad clients. Same money, fraction of the time.In this episode, we cover:Why Natasha was so frustrated with Pinterest management (and why organic services can burn you out)How she landed her first two ad clients from her existing client baseThe pricing and contract structure she used to transition clients smoothlyWhat it actually feels like to go from constant work to 10 hours a monthHer 90-day goals for phasing out Pinterest and going all in on adsWhy ads might be the perfect fit if you have both a creative and analytical brainThe unlimited opportunities available when you learn ad managementIf you're a service provider spending way too many hours on organic content and not seeing the results you want for your clients, this episode is your sign that there's a better way.Links Mentioned:Register for an upcoming workshop: brandimowles.com/100KLearn more about Conversions for Clients: conversionsforclients.comDM me on Instagram: instagram.com/brandimowlesFollow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/serve-scale-soar/id1477998650Follow Brandi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandimowlesFollow Brandi on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Brandiandcompany

Financial freedom, passive income, real estate investing, and wealth-building strategies are at the center of this powerful episode of Casa De Confidence with investor and entrepreneur Bronson Hill.Julie DeLucca-Collins sits down with Bronson to unpack the mindset, education, and investment strategies that help entrepreneurs create long-term financial freedom and time freedom.Bronson shares how he transitioned from a high-paying corporate medical sales career into alternative investing, passive income, and wealth-building through real estate, businesses, and oil and gas investments.If you've ever wondered:How do I start investing?What is passive income really?Can women entrepreneurs build wealth without working 24/7?How do I protect myself financially after divorce or starting over?…this episode is for you.

Most people spend their entire careers waiting for the day they can finally stop working. In this episode, I sit down with Brian Herriot, author, speaker, financial advisor, and entrepreneurship coach, to dig into the concept of time freedom and what it really means to build a life on your own terms. Brian spent 14 years in corporate consulting, chased the early retirement dream, and hit the $1 million savings mark right before COVID wiped out 35% of it. In that pivotal moment, his wife asked him a simple but life-changing question: "What would you do all day?" That question launched him on a completely different path, one not about accumulating enough money to stop working, but about designing flexible, intentional work that funds a life you love right now. Rather than sacrificing your best years to reach some far-off finish line, Brian makes the case that you can build toward a "free date" rather than a retirement date, a model that works for employees, entrepreneurs, and minimalists alike. In this episode, Brian shares: How the Time Freedom Formula works, balancing lifestyle expenses, investment income, and flexible work to fund your ideal year The three money personalities (money manager, money maker, money minimizer) and which one drives your path to freedom The "Look Back, Look Ahead" lifestyle design exercise that helps you build a vision for your next 10 years Why contrast,  not constant leisure,  is what makes time off feel truly meaningful What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Check out Brian's book, Time Freedom (pre-order + get a free audiobook with code JAMILA), here.
