What does it take to walk away from something you've trained for your entire life… and then find your way back — stronger, wiser, and with a whole new purpose?In this two-part conversation, we sit down with world-record-holding swimmer Andy Donaldson.

Then he left the sport entirely — went to work as an accountant, burned out, and eventually found himself guiding volcano tours in Nicaragua during the pandemic. Somewhere along the way, he started swimming again —, just for himself.That path led to an unexpected win at the legendary Rottnest Channel Swim… and the beginning of one of the most astonishing comebacks in open water history.

What if growing your property management business wasn't about more social posts or flashy ads but instead about smart video content that saves you time, positions you as the expert, and actually helps your clients?Video is no longer optional, we're living in a screen first world, where attention is short and competition is high. If you're still relying solely on proposals you're leaving trust, visibility, and leads on the table.If video content has been sitting on your “should probably do it one day” list, this episode will light the fire you need within you. I chat with Clint Ranse who is the Creative Director of My Video Producer, helping real estate agents and brands create high-impact video content that connects and converts. He's the founder of Videos of Value, a program that helps agents batch 12 months of content in just two days, and host of the Creativity That Converts podcast. With a background in special effects design for global tours and major events, Clint knows how to create unforgettable moments on stage and on screen.Most property managers are overwhelmed and under-resourced. Creating video content might sound like ‘one more thing' but Clint explains how Property Managers can use YouTube to save time, cut down repetitive questions, reduce maintenance calls, support your team and build long term relationships with investors and tenants without needing to be a YouTube pro to get started.“ I love YouTube because it catches people at a different point. It's not catching people when they're bored, sitting on their couch scrolling. It's catching people when they're actively searching. So it's bringing them to you when they're in a different phase of life. So if you are looking at sales, it's when they're searching things like downsizing their property or buying my first home. If you're looking at it on the property management side, it's creating content.” -Clint Ranse We explore:Why video is the most powerful content tool for property managers in today's screen heavy worldWhy YouTube is more than just a social platform it's a search engine, and it's where future clients are already lookingWhat kind of content actually performs and it's not the high end fancy stuff you think!How one agency used YouTube videos and QR codes to reduce incoming calls and save timeThe real benefit of creating video it's not just about getting new businessHow to batch 6 12 months of content in a single day with Clint's teamWhy now is the perfect time to get ahead before AI search models change the way people find agents onlineEasy, low-pressure ways to get started even if you hate being on cameraKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:...

Episode Summary:Today I sit down with Emma Tynan, an Irish psychotherapist who specializes in medical trauma and chronic illness, bringing both professional expertise from over a decade as a nurse and personal understanding from her own chronic health journey. We explore the often-overlooked micro-traumas of chronic illness—how the real devastation often hits not during the big diagnosis moment, but in quiet daily realizations like the day you can't hold a spoon or write in a journal the way you used to.In this episode, we discuss:Why the recovery period after treatment can actually be the hardest timeThe unique challenges of having symptoms without a diagnosisHow to work with "different versions of yourself" each day using Emma's "money in your purse" approach to energy managementWhy our goals often need to shift from doing more to doing lessHow family and friends can unintentionally add to trauma through well-meaning but invalidating responsesEmma offers practical guidance for both those living with chronic illness and the people who want to support them, emphasizing that there's no universal experience of illness and the most powerful thing we can offer is simply asking and listening rather than assuming we know what someone needs.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET EMMA: WebsiteSIGN UP FOR OUR NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→Nervous System-Informed Care for Living With A Chronic Illness

Most investors chase yield. But what if the very models they rely on — from dividend screens to the 4% rule — are fundamentally broken?In this episode, we're joined by Ryan Krueger, co-founder of Freedom Day Solutions and manager of the MBOX ETF, to explore the overlooked truths of dividend investing. Ryan breaks down the importance of dividend growth over yield, why most dividend strategies ignore free cash flow, and how a disciplined sell process separates long-term success from failure. He also explains the concept of “Freedom Day” — a reimagined approach to retirement that's built on income, not asset totals.Whether you're a dividend investor, financial advisor, or retiree planning for long-term income, this conversation offers a fresh, practical framework you won't hear elsewhere.We discuss:Why dividend growth beats high yield over timeThe flaws in the 4% withdrawal ruleHow yield-on-cost changes investor behaviorRed flags hidden inside popular dividend ETFsHow “Freedom Day” redefines retirement planningRyan's quant + discretionary investment processThe underrated power of sell disciplineWhy “never add to losers” might boost your returns

They unpack the cultural forces distorting our view of aging and offer a holistic, inclusive alternative grounded in the 6 Pillars of Aging Well: movement, nutrition, body composition, sleep hygiene, social connection, and spiritual well-being.This conversation covers:Why aging is not a problem to fix—but a season to embraceThe risks of labeling aging as a diseaseHow to cultivate strength, resilience, and purpose over timeThe difference between lifespan and healthspanHow to live better, not just longerThe power of small, sustainable lifestyle changesWhat it means to be pro-living in a world obsessed with performanceIf you're looking for an authentic, compassionate, and research-informed guide to aging well—one that values connection, meaning, and humanity over metrics and gimmicks—this episode is for you.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and....The Aging Well Podcast merchandise | Show how you are aging well | Use the promo code AGING WELL for free shipping on orders over $75 | https://theagingwellpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/promo/AGINGWELLRebalance Health | products created by hormone health experts to lower cortisol, improve sleep, and minimize the impact of stress on the body and mind | https://rebalancehealth.com/AgingWellThrive25—Your personal longevity advisor | https://www.thrive25.com/early-access?via=william-jeffrey Memory Lane TV | the first therapeutic streaming platform for people living with dementia — designed to replace overstimulating television with multisensory, evidence-based media that soothes, orients, and restores | for 30% off the annual subscription visit https://www.memory-lane.tv/?rfsn=8714090.a500b0Fusionary Formulas | Combining Ayurvedic wisdom with Western science for optimal health support. | 15% off Code: AGINGWELL | https://fusionaryformulas.com/Jigsaw Health | Trusted supplements. “It's fun to feel good.” | Click the following link for 10% off: https://www.jigsawhealth.com/?rfsn=8710089.1dddcf3&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8710089.1dddcf3Auro Wellness | Glutaryl—Antioxidant spray that delivers high doses of glutathione (“Master Antioxidant”) | 10% off Code: AGINGWELL at https://aurowellness.com/?ref=1957Dr Lewis Nutrition | Fight neurodegeneration and cognitive decline with Daily Brain Care by Dr Lewis Nutrition—a proven daily formula designed to protect and restore brain function. | 10% off code: AGINGWELL or use the link: https://drlewisnutrition.com/AGINGWELLTruDiagnostic—Your source for epigenetic testing | 12% off Code: AGEWELL or use the link: https://shop.trudiagnostic.com/discount/AGEWELL *We receive commission on these purchases.

In this week's episode, Trump delays the TikTok ban for the third time—because procrastination is the new policy—and Twitter's old sign finds new purpose as desert firewood. Tesla continues its streak of “hold my beer” engineering by blowing past a school bus in FSD tests, then mysteriously dumps Cybertrucks in Jersey parking lots while prepping a July 4th factory nap. Meanwhile, Elon's xAI is incinerating a billion bucks a month and allegedly poisoning Memphis, OpenAI and Microsoft are beefing over who's the bigger megalomaniac, and Sam Altman thinks your power bill should fund his robot overlords.In other signs of the apocalypse: Amazon is gleefully replacing workers with AI, Microsoft finally admits it might've wasted billions chasing Skynet, and Wikipedia's editors say no thanks to dumbed-down AI summaries. Studies warn ChatGPT may be turning your brain into smooth pudding, while swearing data reveals the internet prefers the F-word with regional flair. A broke crypto TikToker gets released because he's too poor to ransom, and bankruptcies spike across the Bay as tech jobs vanish like investor confidence.Media Candy brings a buffet from Inside Out to Murderbot to Stick, and Liam Neeson somehow makes the Naked Gun reboot look awesome; Apple tunes CarPlay to fit your weird dashboard, Trump sells a gold Android that's tackier than his ties, and Dave goes full retro with Open EMU 2 and FPGA gaming; plus: Dr. Demento retires, Disneyland hits your screen, and we swear this isn't all a fever dream.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

You'd think a founder who's already exited TWO companies, has partnerships with global giants like Siemens, and technology tracking 10 MILLION medical samples would have investors lined up around the block.You'd be wrong.In today's episode, I break down exactly what went wrong in Javier Cuello's pitch for H+Trace—his medical traceability platform that's solving a $500M problem in healthcare.His hook? Brilliant. "Every day in the U.S., the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashes from preventable medical errors."His credibility? Unquestionable.His results? Radio silence from investors.Here's the thing: Having the right ingredients doesn't guarantee the right recipe. Even the most accomplished founders can miss the mark when it comes to communicating their value.I walk you through the exact 2-minute framework that transforms technical brilliance into investor magnetism—and reveal the specific mistakes that cost Javier the attention his breakthrough solution deserves.This isn't just another pitch critique. It's a masterclass in why the best product doesn't always win, but the best COMMUNICATED product does.Listen now on Provider's Edge (link in bio)

Send me any questions hereMost people think confidence is something you're either born with or not. But in this episode, I break down why that's completely wrong. Confidence is a skill, one built through consistent action, not wishful thinking. I dive into the psychology of overthinking, why social anxiety persists, and how small, intentional steps can rewire your brain to feel more at ease in any room.We dive into the silent epidemic of avoidance, how we retreat from the very moments that could build us. I break down the link between self-trust and confidence, why trying to be liked by everyone is a trap, and the simple truth that you can't get good at something you never do.You'll also hear about why being curious matters more than being clever, how to stop obsessing over what people think, and why small daily challenges can radically change how you show up in the world.This episode is for anyone who's tired of feeling stuck socially, and is ready to take back control.Expect to Learn:Why overthinking kills social presenceThe power of rewarding effort over outcomeHow to rebuild self-trust, one conversation at a timeThe real reason “being yourself” worksWhy confidence is built, not foundIf you've ever felt like you're living life on the sidelines, this conversation is your permission slip to step in.
