Kiera joins the Raving Patients Podcast to talk about obtaining that CEO mindset to systematize your practice. This mindset does not mean doing it all yourself, but leaning on others to maximize their skillsets. Kiera also discusses with Dr. Len Tau how to separate yourself from having your entire identity associated with dentistry.

As she often says, we don't just understand you, we are you.   So please welcome to the Raving Patients podcast, Kiara Dent. Kiara, thank you so much for being a guest on my podcast today.   Speaker 2 (02:03) Oh, Len, thank you so much. so excited to be here. I loved our podcast we did together. I love the podcast we did in the past together. I'm super excited about Supercharge. Everybody should go. We're going to like sneak peek, be there in 2026. Like Len, huge fan of you guys. Just excited to be here with you. So thank you. Thanks for having me. And yeah, it's always a little weird and fun to hear your bio read right before you get on. So just grateful to be here and just like have a good time with you. It's always a great time when we podcast together.   Speaker 1 (02:30) Well, I'm excited to spend the next 30 minutes or so with content from you. So I always like to ⁓ start off for people that don't know who you are. I obviously read your bio. Can you just tell dentists and other people reading or listening and watching this episode how you help dental practices?   Speaker 2 (02:50) Yeah, absolutely. So with the bio you heard, I started out as a dental assistant and then went throughout and I've owned practices. My first practice I took from 500,000 to 2.4 million in nine months and opened our second location. And that was with a Midwestern grad. I worked at the dental college there. And so helping practices, what I learned was   I've been a team member, I've been in so many of the team roles. And then in addition to that, I've owned dental practices and I understand the business and I've run multimillion dollar practices and businesses. so bringing that perspective, I feel like there's the dentist perspective, there's the owner, the CEO of the practice, and then there's the team perspective. And both are necessary for practices. And so Dental A Team, say like, it stands for dentist and team. So what we really do for practices is whether it's virtual or in person, it's...   I call it the yes model line is what I like to say is number one, you as a person, we're going to focus on your vision, where you want to go as a doctor. Like what is your vision? The practice should serve your life. ⁓ because I believe that when you're supported, you're actually a better owner, a better boss, a better dentist. And then we go to E stands for earnings and profitability. We've got to make sure it's a profitable practice. And then we use those things, the vision and the numbers to then tell us what systems and team development we need to put into place. I'm really much a custom.   Let's see kind of like dentists do with patients. Like let's do a comp exam. Let's see where we're at. And then let's go for what's going to make the biggest impact with the least amount of effort. And being team members ourselves, I really think that we're able to like, Hey dentists, we want to hear your vision. We need to know where you're going and then go do your like favorite thing. It's dentistry. And then let's help your team be empowered to learn how to run the practice. So it truly is like a self-managing team, utilizing every single player in the team to their highest potential, but doing it with a ton of fun and ease. Like as a team member, I didn't want more hard work.   As an owner, do not want you to give me more homework. I'm already busy. So I feel like we really come in and bridge that gap of like where we are to where we want to go and do it in the easiest, most efficient and most fun way possible to help like team and patient experience be the top that it can be.   Speaker 1 (04:48) So I guess someone's listening to this podcast and they say, you know, want to, I want to change the culture in my practice, but I'm very much a micromanager.   So which means they're not focused on their dentistry, they're focused on managing the team. Do you help with that? Because there are so many micromanagers out there. I always wanted them for a very long time. And honestly, wasn't until I gave up that micromanaging and I just did the things I was going to do that my practice excelled. So ⁓ that's something, if someone's a micromanager, do you get them off doing that? Or how do you deal with that?   Speaker 2 (05:19) Yes, and I'm so glad you said that because I think most   Founder owners are micromanagers. think leadership we believe I I think so many there's this belief out there that we just come into this world as great leaders and we should just know it like you went to dental school you should just know how to be a leader and leadership is a journey and so for those micromanagers I think it's really fun to have the doctor and the team perspective and to be able to help both of them say like no doctor like these are the things but what I found is doctors micromanage because there's a lack of communication feedback loops so it's a lot so it's either a lack of communication and feedback   loop, a lack of knowledge, or they just like genuinely want to be a manager and they don't want to be an owner. And I'm like, great, let's just figure out what the the reasoning is. And then let's find the solution to that. So if team members have doctors that are micromanaging, first question I'm looking at is like, where's the feedback loop and what are we missing? Next is like, hey, doctor, I understand that this is where we're at. This is where I need you to be for the growth of the practice. What do you need to feel confident to be the dentist, to be the like not micromanaging like   there's a lack. And when I realize there's a lack and when teams can realize that there's a lack, like there's just something missing, we fix that, dentist is now able to be happy, team's able to flourish, everything starts to move in in a good motion. absolutely. I think being team members ourselves, we're not doctors, we're not dentists. Like, Len, I'm gonna lean on you for clinical. Like, that's not my world. I'm not here to even discuss it for one minute. But what I am here to do is to bridge that gap between doctors and teams.   Because ultimately it's same team, like everybody wants the best experience for the patient. We want the practice to flourish. So if we're all same team, let's help get people right seat, right person, help them understand what they should and could be doing. But also like office managers, there's this whole weird world for them too, where they've never been taught to be managers. They've never been taught what they should or shouldn't be doing. They've never been taught like what the difference between an office manager is and a biller and a scheduler and a treatment coordinator and how all those roles are different. And so helping people understand even what their job entails.   I think really can cut that micromanagement passion project. It's just a lack of knowledge and so teaching teams and teaching people, but we're very hands on. I really don't like fluff. That's why think when you and I get along well, I want it to be tactical. I want it to be practical and I want it to be something that's sustainable as well.   Speaker 1 (07:34) And that makes a lot of sense. And that was a great answer, by the way.   We're talking about, obviously you're very systematized. You put systems in place, the team follows, everybody knows what they're doing, runs like a well-oiled machine. Okay. And that's how my practice was when I left, when I was traveling. ⁓ I knew things, I didn't worry. I knew that things were going to be done like this. They knew the roles, team members didn't need to be scolded. They just knew what their role was in the practice. So, ⁓ I know there are things, I like a term here you use the chaos creators. So there are chaos creators in the, in the office. So what are some of these, these common chaos creators?   ⁓ that actually can be helped by putting systems in place.   Speaker 2 (08:13) Yes, and I love that you brought that up because that's the ultimate goal. That's why I wanted this to be called like the CEO mindset. Like doctors, like you should be a dentist and you should own your business. You should not be the one managing. And when you recognize that this actually can be one of the biggest chaos creators in the practice of doctors trying to be the doctor, the dentist, the CEO visionary, plus the manager, plus all the other parts of the practice. Like that is a chaos creator, not knowing right person, right? See is a massive chaos creator. Number one thing I hear every time I go into an office or I work with someone,   is it's communication. And communication is again just a system that needs to be put into place. So how do team members know? Like what is our true morning huddle? It's not a time for us just to hang out. Like why do football players huddle? Why do basketball players huddle? They huddle to win the game. So what does winning on our practice even look like? Making that very clear for our team. Other things like handoffs. That's another communication drop that's a chaos creator. What doctor says to the patient, to the hygienist, to the front office,   It's such fun. I feel like we play a game of telephone. So putting in a little simple system there where we've got a great communication handoff and a process. I know Len, you and I are very big on this case acceptance process of just really having a great clean experience for the patient. These are chaos creators. Also, team members even knowing what their job should be, understanding how they go from where they were hired to how they can get raises. Those are chaos creators. The scheduling. How do we schedule? Let's have block schedules in there. Let's have   a way that we do this in our practice. I remember when I was a scheduling coordinator, my office manager said, Kiera, do not even think about scheduling outside of the blocks until you learn why we schedule the blocks the way we do. And you're right, like when team members know the rules of the game, so much chaos gets eliminated from the practice. like quick things are have great meetings and truly great meetings. If you don't know how to run a great meeting, Traction by Gina Wickman.   It's a little bit of a dull book. However, there are so many paramount pieces in that book and great meetings could be in there. Doctors and OMS have a same page meeting where we're looking at it. Get our KPIs in place where we know where is the practice even going? What is each person's number that they can like impact and improve in the practice? Have like set job descriptions, have protocols of how we treat a patient. What's our hygiene period protocol? Let's just have like really simple systems and I'm big on I don't like to remember things.   Like I love holidays, holidays are on a cadence. So how can we actually get cadences within your practice to where things really can run on more of an autopilot rather than trying to constantly like catch all the balls and remember things? That's the chaos. The chaos comes from the like not knowing and trying to scramble and being in reactive rather than proactive modes.   Speaker 1 (10:53) But that's really good, that's really great. So another question I have for you, there are dentists who are just dentists, and I don't mean that negatively, but they go in with the expectation that they're either gonna be an associate forever, or they're just going to practice and let everybody run the practice and they're just gonna come and do the dentistry, okay? Versus having the mindset of and acting like the CEO, okay? And there's a big difference. One, I believe, has a lot more stress.   I like to talk about it because I was the CEO of the practice. I handled everything. I handled the marketing. I handled the HR. I handled all of the things that makes it different than just being a dentist and putting your hands in the mouth and treating a patient. So if someone wants to act and think like a CEO, what does it really mean to do that versus just practicing dentistry and doing the dental work?   Speaker 2 (11:51) Yes, I'm so glad you brought this up. I've been like crushing on this idea. We actually just ran a three day CEO dentist workshop. like.   obsessing on this right now because there is nothing wrong. And I think that there's a few hats that people wear. I wear a consultant hat. I also wear a CEO hat. And they're actually and I think about big companies like let's look at Google. I know that CEO is not coding. They're not. They're not building it. They're truly in a CEO realm. And so when we look at like what does a CEO do, they are the chief executive officer. Like their job is to execute. Their job is vision. Their job is culture.   and their job is to like really steer and guide the ship and to come up with great ideas. And so when I look at that, I think that there's two hats for CEO dentists to wear. There's the true clinical dentistry, if that's what you want to do and continue to do. And then we really do need somebody who's guiding and leading this business. And I think when dentists, I know this can be a little like not favored, ⁓ dental practices are multimillion dollar businesses and they are. when we realize that they're   They are businesses and like you said, the HR and the marketing. But when you look at large businesses outside of dentistry, they have other players in the realm and in the rink with them to make it actually run as a very successful business. And so I believe that when we understand the business portion of dentistry and we have great clinical care, that's when we're able to serve and help more patients and more team members. And so helping these dentists realize what does a CEO do? And I actually pulled from Dan Martel.   the author of Buy Back Your Time, like obsessed with his book, met him in person, like raving fangirl. It was like slightly embarrassing, like how big of a fan I was of him. ⁓ But he has his delegation ladder in there for businesses and actually created a delegation ladder for dental practices of when CEO dentists go from like your right line, a lot of them do it all. And that's, think, where the burnout is and the chaos is to where when can we start to delegate? Like, do you have a personal assistant who answers all of your emails for you? And if not,   Administrative tasks are one of the best things to delegate. Then we move into like our scheduling and then into our customer service and the patient experience. And then we move into treatment planning. A lot of doctors do that on their own. And I'm not here to say you have to give up anything, but I am here to say that when you truly take on the role of CEO, trying to do it all actually creates chaos. And you actually, you're the bottleneck of the business. And so then we start to delegate out the case acceptance if you want to. You're allowed to keep whatever you want, whatever you're great at.   Then we delegate out the marketing, then we delegate out the, actually, me and my operations manager were talking that I believe that there's two spaces within leadership. There's the executive side, that's these big picture visionary pieces. And then there's the management side, which is the HR, the protocols, the accountability of the team. And when we had that like, and I believe that there's, it's like a black and a white, yin and yang, perfect whole, you need both sides of this leadership within that CEO realm.   But when you're trying to do all the pieces as a CEO, you need to know every aspect going on in the business. But that does not mean you need to do every aspect of the business. And so I think it's like figuring out which colors you like to paint with, which ones really are your zone of genius and then starting to then delegate in strategic manners, delegate and elevate, not abdicate ⁓ really are how you can make this where you become truly the CEO of your business and your practice. And you're able to have great players around you that are able to then.   Make sure every other part of your business is thriving and flourishing too.   Speaker 1 (15:19) Got it.   Speaker 2 (15:20) So   much line, I hope it wasn't lying.   Speaker 1 (15:22) No, that was great. That was great. I mean, they should replay that because I think there was some really good nuggets and pearls that they can take back. So, you know, I want to talk about delegation. ⁓ you know, Invisalign is a great product ⁓ to bring into the practice or aligners in general. doesn't have to be Invisalign, just aligners. And aligners are really good, but they become really profitable ⁓ when a dentist is willing and able to delegate the tasks to other team members.   And personally myself, I used to do it all. And then I took a class by somebody, can't remember who it was, but it was all about giving the empower your team to do things and delegate the services to them where you're literally kind of just doing the initial consultation and whatever is required by your license in the realm of the things. But the team is able to do mostly everything else. And once you do that, ⁓ Invisalign becomes a very, profitable procedure.   So what advice do you have about delegation to somebody, to a dentist who really feels like they need to do it all and does not want to give up control of anything?   Speaker 2 (16:28) Len, I'm so happy you asked me this question and I'm so happy that I'm a team member and I'm gonna put on a team member hat, not a CEO hat on this one. ⁓ Number one, I really, really hope, and dentists, if you need to pause, replay, record this and listen to it every single day, I really hope you do. ⁓ As a team member, my number one job, genuinely speaking, and doctors have told me so many times when they've heard me say this, it...   hopefully will strike you to your heart as well. As a team member, my number one, like genuine number one objective was to make my doctor happy and to make their life easier. And that was honestly what I did every single day. As a dental assistant, I'm looking ahead. I want to be seven steps ahead of you and I want to make sure that you're truly like set up for success. I want to make sure that patient's back on time. I want to make sure that hygiene exams are on time. And I think that while yes, you might have some team members that make you question this statement.   I think 95 % of the population is genuinely good and they want you to thrive and they want the patient experience to be great. So when you hear that and you truly honor that and you respect that and you trust that, you then will realize that one of the best things you can do is, I don't believe in delegating. So like I can empower, but if I empower and don't hold accountable, then I've created entitlement within my practice. So I want to empower through delegating of this like.   As a dental assistant, do know how happy I'd be if you gave me, can fit a line. I understand I'm going to make a few mistakes, but oh my gosh, the growth, growth equals happiness. So for your team to be happy, give them opportunities to progress. Like that's what creates the happiness and the sparkle and the zest in life. And so really when you empower your team and hold accountable, you don't get this entitlement. When you empower and don't hold accountable, that's when we get these entitled teams that genuinely then it just becomes mayhem in your practice.   So like you said, delegate these tasks that one, either you're not good at, or I do think about everybody should be working at the top of their license. What are you able to produce per hour? If there's a task that I can hire somebody for less than you can produce an hour, it's probably something that we shouldn't be using your time for. And I know as a CEO, as an owner, this is actually hard for me because you strip me of things that I'm actually really good at, but reality is there's better uses of my time. And when you can recognize   giving everybody the best use of their time. Me as a dental assistant being able to do Invisalign, you've now just lifted and elevated me to the highest level of my license as well. And so I really do believe like doctors, one, believe that your team is truly here to support you. And if they're not here to support you, they're not your right team players. they like, great, let them graduate to somebody else and you bring somebody else in. Two, empower them and hold accountable to ensure that it's like how you want it done. And team members like,   You can share this with your team. I'm happy to share this one reason I like to do this. Team members, give the feedback to your doctor. They are going to trust you so much more when you come back to them and you show them the things you listen to what they say, you create the protocols, you do it exactly how they want you to do it. That will build trust and confidence so quickly. Team members lose doctor's trust so quickly when they like lacked to follow through and like truly do what the doctors have given them like stewardship and ownership over. So for those doctors and like you said, Len.   You won't understand until you try. And when you do try, you will make mistakes. But I believe, this is my philosophy, anything that I've delegated never gets to come back to me. And I think when you have that notion and that idea, well, I know it could never come back to me. You actually make it really, really great. You train your team. You help them have this. ⁓ And I then believe everybody's able to flourish so much higher. So hopefully that answered of like, one, you need to delegate and you should delegate.   Two, what are the tasks that you can be doing that are like helping you work to the highest level of your license? Everybody working at that is going to make a better team experience, a better patient experience, and all around a better practice for you as well.   Speaker 1 (20:20) I think you, I mean, the content you're providing, the listening and viewing audience is spectacular. you know, one of the, I guess, negatives about being a dentist is a feeling of being overwhelmed. A lot of stress. You know, that's part of the reason why I think you've got, you know, dentists with the highest, one of the highest suicide rates out there is that, you know, it's a very stressful job. I mean, you've got a lot of debt, you've got a lot of, you know, people relying on you for income as well. So what mindset   do you think exist ⁓ that or traps do you mindset traps do dentists fall into that that keep them feeling overwhelmed and and what do do about that?   Speaker 2 (21:00) Yeah, this is something so real to me. My first practice, I mentioned it briefly at the very beginning of we took our practice from 500,000 to 2.4 million in nine months. And when I present and I speak, I often will bring up like the success story and I list off my stats of our practice. I asked the audience, said, who wants this practice? And like hands go up and people are like shouting like, yes, I want this.   And then I say the other side of success is that this person, is me, like, spoiler alert, I was 98 pounds and I'm 5'8". I ⁓ had divorce papers on the line. I remember like I walked out of my practice that like one day and I remember just like standing on the sidewalk and being like one step and all this could be over. Like it was, and I'm not a dentist. I didn't even have the pressure of having to be in the exam rooms, but I do understand the pressure of business. And that's actually what's like fueled my passion in consulting is.   Because I thought like if this is how so many of us feel to get to success, Tony Robbins has a quote that success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. And that was curidant in a nutshell. We had success on paper, but fulfillment was lacking and my entire life was falling apart. And so when you ask like, what are some of these zones that keep people in this mindset is one, I think that we believe that to get to success, we have to grind it out. We have to hustle. We have to do it all. Like it's this hustle mentality that I believe is so false.   Yes, I do believe that hard work is required, but I don't believe you have to do all of the work. Just like we talked about before, also think delegations paramount. I think so many of the doctors that I see there in this burnout are just, it's like grippy. Like they want to hold on to everything and they're not willing to let go and they're not like, also you're telling your team that you don't trust them and you don't believe in them when you do that as well. So you're actually causing like this double-edged sword on it. And then third, I think ⁓ we just don't take time to stop and pause and realize like what really is necessary.   I think so much like when I sold out of the practices, my whole identity was associated with that. if we have our identities associated with these practices and with the success, well, I can imagine that that feels like chopping off your arm and your leg if you were to fail. therefore, if it's literally my physical body and I feel like it's my whole identity, I literally remember the day that I sold out of the practices. I felt who is cura dent, who is she? Like I have no purpose in this world anymore. Nothing is important. Like I don't even have a family. I have no practice.   I felt nothing and I think when people's identities are associated with this rather than having something else. So I talk about like what makes all of you up and I remember like like looks like this weird little doll. Like it's such a weird outline that I make people do but I'm like draw to me like how your life is and when I do this usually it's like from your neck to like your ankles that's work and if that much of your identity is associated with work in your practice.   What could we shift this to more so your whole identity is not associated with that? So that's like we go work out, we have time with family, we book the vacations and when you start to realize that there's more life outside of the chair, more life outside of it and you being a well-rounded human that truly and I don't like the word balance, I just love the word well-rounded and fulfilled. When we start to add some of those pieces in which again feels contradictory, it feels like if I give this up that I'm not making money. I used to say I don't want to sit on the couch and watch TV with my husband because I'm literally not making money.   That's one of the the grossest statements I've ever said, but Len, it's truth. I really truly felt this way. Like the only purpose is to be producing and to be productive. But I didn't realize that. Like you look at that athletes have to take a break and they have to reset. They have to recharge. They have to like the best time is actually the recovery off season. ⁓ no, no person can continue operating at 110%. And when they are operating, they're actually not their best self. So there's just as much beauty in the recharge off time.   as there is on the productive on time. So when we can delegate, when we have more purpose beyond just our practice, and it's okay, work to me is very fulfilling. It's such a big part of my life. I love it. ⁓ But it's not all of Kiera's identity. So if I were to lose work, Kiera and hopefully you can still exist outside of that. ⁓ And then truly having shut off time. A lot of clients when they come on board, I tell them, I'm like, I'm giving you the greatest gift. You're out of work today at 4.30 and I don't want you to talk about work. Close the laptop, walk out and literally leave it at work.   And what's crazy is people don't realize that you can actually get a lot done within your four or five hour, like four or five day a week work week. And to be home with your kids, to be home with your family, to go to the gym, to replenish your bucket that gives out so much every single day ⁓ really is what you actually need to be doing rather than trying to produce more. And it sounds contradictory, but it's true. You will actually produce more and be a better producer and happier business owner if you will do that.   I know that was a long-winded answer, Len, but I really hope that people can see there are two sides of success. The word itself of success has a portion of suck. Like there is a side of business that is really hard that does require that grind and that hard work, but there's also a beautiful side. And I think when people can dance in that, can see that their whole identity is not the practice. It's not all dependent on that and they fill themselves and fuel themselves. Literally, I feel like the burnout can be dissipated very quickly.   If you've been going on it for a long time, it will probably take a little bit longer, but these small, simple steps will make you so much more fulfilled. And honestly, I hope nobody listening to this podcast hit success without fulfillment. I hope all of us commit that while we're giving the great patient care, we're giving back to all these people, we equally get to deserve and we should deserve to have a beautiful life of our own as well.   Speaker 1 (26:39) So nicely said, very eloquent in way you said that as well. last thing I want to cover is, we talked about being overwhelmed. stress is also part of being overwhelmed. very stressed. What are some ways that you think a dentist can reduce the stress on a day-to-day part of his practice? If someone said, hey, I'm so stressed, I don't know what I'm going to do. And you hear it a lot. I I talk to dentists all the time. And one of the common denominators is that they're   You know, when I sold my practice, I was never truly, truly stressed out. The stuff that stressed me out, honestly, was stupid stuff. But since I sold my practice and retired, I don't really have much stress in my life anymore. It's very interesting. But what are some things that dentists could do to reduce those stress they see on a day-to-day basis?   Speaker 2 (27:29) Yes. Okay. And I said, yes, because I'm to go back to the S model. The S model is literally like my stress booster buster for you. Number one, where do you want to go and why? Like figure out you that truly if you don't have a North star, you don't know what you're going for and reassess to make sure that's really where you want to go. So many people put this like, I want to have four practices and I want to have this. And I'm like, why? You got to be able to tell me why I'm making sure it's your dream, not the dream you think you should be living.   That's like number one to get rid of stress, like truly living your dream. And I will tell you, you're allowed to like, it's in pencil, it's not in permanent ink. You can erase it, you can recraft it, you can recreate it. That's going to cut stress. I was chasing after a mountain, I didn't want to climb anymore. And when I realized that, that was a pivot shift. So number one is like, make sure you're actually truly going where you want to go. And that's the you. Earnings like profit, like Len, so much stress comes from not knowing the numbers.   And I know people sometimes want to avoid it. They don't want to look at it. Like I'm just going to go do production. I want to do ethical dentistry and I will tell you both exist. It's not an or like you will you as a human are going to naturally do ethical dentistry. Like you can't go against that. That's who you are at your core. And by knowing the numbers, you're not going to go and overdiagnose like I promise you it will not happen. But knowing the numbers and actually like looking at your cash, what are you spending money on? What do you need to produce to be able to afford the business?   Doctors learn the numbers and they actually use the numbers to make their decisions. Stress dissipates. I have so many doctors that reach out to me because they're cash flow poor and I'm like, you're producing 200,000 a month, how are we broke? ⁓ So actually understanding how to use numbers and not to be used by numbers and knowing how you actually can get money and like what can you live on and understanding tax brackets and savings like that discipline might seem constrictive, but I will tell you it is the most freeing stress free piece that you can have.   And then third, our systems and team. Like I'm going to like just really keep like painting this picture for you. Delegate to your team, use your team, put the systems into place. And we don't go for the whole elephant. We don't do the entire thing in one night shift. What we do is we look at the numbers. Where are numbers low on the KPIs? Let's go fix a system over there. So we fix that part of the leaking bucket. Just that alone, like even myself, I felt it like the hoosh of reducing that stress for you. ⁓ Start with your vision.   know your numbers and then put systems into place and team delegation and elevation ⁓ that will immediately reduce stress. And then like just quick, what is the one or two hot pain points right now causing the bulk of your stress? Let's figure out how we can eliminate those right now. And I want to, everybody always says, Kiera, there's no way like I can't do this. The answer is yes, you can. Yes, you can. And when we get out of this, I can't get that, I can't do this. We actually find the true core of what we can solve. Usually the answer is pretty simple and it's pretty immediate.   if we're willing to just let go and take action. So those would be kind of my like four little steps to reduce stress quickly and easily. And if you can't see it, sometimes having an outside voice and outside perspective, sometimes you're too far in the weeds, that can be very beneficial for you as well to like take you by the hand and say, here's step one, two, three, four, and they're there to guide you as well, rather than you trying to figure it out yourself.   Speaker 1 (30:35) amazing. This is great. ⁓ I want to shift for the final few minutes that we have together. I want to shift to my lightning round Q and a that I like to do with guests. We're going to get through eight to 10 of these. Okay, ready? The rule of thumb for this one, you like long winded answers, which is great. But for this one, it's very, fast. No long, no long winded. We'll never get through this.   Speaker 2 (30:47) So   You got it, Len.   Speaker 1 (30:58) So I opened my app up. First question, what book do you want to go back and reread as it's made a great impact on you the first time you read it?   Speaker 2 (31:07) I would go back and reread Bye, Your Time by Dan Martell. I feel like there's a lot that I could relearn from that where I'm at today.   Speaker 1 (31:14) repeat that one more time.   Speaker 2 (31:17) Yep, buy back your time by Daniel.   Speaker 1 (31:19) Buy back your time. I'm just writing it down. All right. Who has been your greatest inspiration?   Speaker 2 (31:25) Gosh Tony Robbins hands down. I love Tony so much. I look up to him a lot. I've been in his Lions group ⁓ the reason I look up to him is because He said one time the Tony you see in front of you is the Tony I created it's not from my parents It's not from business. It's not from anybody else It's who I want to be and who I esteem to be and he said life is always happening for you and not to you and those two pieces have Resonated with me so much in my life ⁓ truly one of the like   biggest, greatest mentors and I've been really blessed and lucky to have him directly mentor me, which have truly changed the trajectory of my course, of my life as well.   Speaker 1 (32:04) Awesome, amazing. ⁓ If you could take a class to learn anything, what would it be on?   Speaker 2 (32:10) marketing. Len, hate marketing. Call my Achilles heel. I learned so much and I think I know more. But man, if I could like understand it on a really high level easily all day every day and I take a lot of them. But man, one like magic one that would teach me everything. Yeah, it'd be amazing.   Speaker 1 (32:26) Amazing. Do you believe there is some sort of pattern or formula to becoming successful?   Speaker 2 (32:33) Yes, I do. It sounds like cliche. I didn't like, I think the yes model came from what I believe success is like you having a vision, looking at your numbers and then putting systems into play and using your team ⁓ and surrounding your yourself with people that are living and doing the life you want. I really do believe we become like the people we surround ourselves what we listen to. So that's what I would say is the path to success.   Speaker 1 (33:01) Amazing too. Has anyone in your network other than Tony Robbins, has anyone in your network been important in your journey or to your journey?   Speaker 2 (33:09) Absolutely. There's a lot of people. think my husband, that's a huge support for me. He believes in me, even though maybe he shouldn't believe in me, but having that rock. And then also my team, truly, I look at all the variations of Dental A Team and where I've gone as me as a person, they've evolved me as a human and they've also evolved our company and the good and the bad that have gone through.   They have truly shaped me, every single one of them, and I'm very, very grateful for the trust they put in me to create what we've built.   Speaker 1 (33:42) amazing. How do you develop how have you developed key partnerships?   Speaker 2 (33:47) Ah, that's fun. You go to events, you talk to people, you look to see how can you add value to their world, to their life. And I think partnerships, partnerships to me, I don't try to figure out like how to do something. I look to see like, who do I know that knows how to do this? That's how I use partnerships in life and vice versa. Like bring more to the table than you take from people. But I look at people have just like, what's their secret sauce? How can I like, like connect them to other people? To me, it's a fun connect the dots of just getting great people together. That's how I believe that like.   To me, that's how all boats rise is through partnerships like hands down. One of the best things was networking and meeting people. You will learn more from the minds of men than you will be able to like mine out of this world. Like there is more gold there than anywhere else in this world.   Speaker 1 (34:32) Got it. What has been your most satisfying moment in business?   Speaker 2 (34:39) Most satisfying moment? There have been a lot. I think recently my most satisfying moment was when I wanted to give up and I really was so burnt out and I was exhausted and I was tired and I hit that breaking point again in my life. And for the first time in my entire career, I took an entire month off and I reset and it was the most scaring. There was a lot of really bad backlash that came from it.   But me as a human, re-centered, refocused, re-prioritized. And I think that that was one of the most satisfying moments to realize, at the end of the day, CEOs and business owners have to show up for themselves first to be able to give to their entire team. And I'd never, ever, ever, ever done that. So like me personally, that was one of them. But man, like the hundreds and thousands of clients lives, Glenn, you and I both know, I think as consultants, when you hear people's lives changing,   like clients who are broke and literally had no money and now they're buying their kids their dream lives, that to me will always be the clincher of everything but like beautiful and why I show up every single day to do it. So there's a personal and a professional win that was like just super satisfying.   Speaker 1 (35:47) That's really great. All right, three questions left. Let's get through these quickly. What deserves all your attention but seldom gets it?   Speaker 2 (35:57) I would say probably my body like working out.   Speaker 1 (36:00) Okay, what three adjectives describe your strengths?   Speaker 2 (36:06) Adjectives. ⁓ I would say grit. would say fun. And I would say passion.   Speaker 1 (36:16) Great answers. Last question I ask is to everybody. So it is one subscription, either business or personal, so something you pay for either monthly or annually, that you simply cannot live without.   Speaker 2 (36:33) ⁓ Len.   I would say I can't live without, honestly, boomerang. That sounds so ridiculous. I would not be able to follow up with all the millions of things that I do day in and day out without boomerang as a person, like professional. Like I would pay for that all day every day. ⁓   Speaker 1 (36:53) I haven't heard that one before, that's a good one. you go. ⁓ So Kiera, how can people learn more about how you can help them if they want to learn more about your consulting agency? What's the best way for them to reach out and find out more?   Speaker 2 (37:03) Yeah, thank you so much Len. Best way is listen to the podcast, the Dental A Team podcast.

In this episode, Linda shares her journey from selling books in the 1970s to becoming one of the first women to manage and lead in Southwestern's history.

That experience led to years as a professional speaker, trainer, and coach, helping others find clarity and motivation.Linda also shares how COVID pushed her to take her work online, how she learned to sell virtually, and how she now works with women creating retreats and online programs. Her story includes raising a family, moving across the country, mentoring others, and rediscovering herself through each chapter.Along the way, she talks about being one of the only women at sales school, learning to get indoors in the South, recruiting over 100 people, leading teams, and the friendships that have lasted over 50 years — friendships that still make her laugh until she cries.By the end, Linda reflects on a lifetime of lessons about rejection, confidence, attitude, and how a single summer job can change the trajectory of a life.

You've probably heard of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). It's a popular thing. It's the foundation for the work of popular life/business coach Tony Robbins, and there are many other popular trainers and “gurus” who have used NLP ideas as the basis for their work. The con artist Chase Hughes, whose lies and unethical behaviors I've examined on this podcast, is one such false guru whose origins are in NLP. This is a reshare of an episode from Chris Shelton's “Speaking of Cults” podcast, which you can find on YouTube. We talk about: the history and origins of NLP and the ideas it contains; the good and the bad in NLP; my own experiences working for 6 months in the NLP industry; how people like Chase Hughes and other obvious charlatans succeed at gaining popularity (e.g., Chase Hughes being promoted by Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil); how Joe Rogan's and Chase Hughes' popularity relate to political polarization; and more.  Learn more about your ad choices.

 We've all heard it — “Have you seen the price of eggs lately?” But what if that simple statement is doing more than commenting on inflation — what if it's quietly shaping your mindset around lack? In this episode, Mesha invites you to look beyond the facts and explore how focusing on scarcity can actually block your ability to experience abundance.You'll learn how your brain's Reticular Activating System filters reality to match what you believe, and how a scarcity mindset limits creativity and problem-solving. Through stories, science, and powerful reframes, you'll see how shifting your focus from frustration to gratitude can open new doors of possibility.This episode reminds you that what you focus on grows — and the “price of eggs” can either be a reason to complain or a reminder that you have everything you need.

We often look outside ourselves for answers, thinking the next business move or “secret” strategy will change everything. But as Keith Kalfas says, “A problem can't be solved at the same level of thinking you were at when you created the problem.” In this powerful episode, Keith shares how true growth begins on the inside—by shifting your mindset, building your inner foundation, and daring to ask bigger questions of yourself. The breakthroughs you're after aren't somewhere “out there”—they start with who you choose to become. Keith reminds us that upgrading our standards, being true to our calling, and seeking wisdom are what really transform our business and our lives. Hear the whole conversation and get inspired to level up from the inside out.   What You Will Discover:  The Power of Mindset and Inner Transformation. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing how your internal beliefs, mindset, and emotional patterns directly impact your business success. You'll learn why personal growth, faith, and consciously aligning your values are essential for achieving sustainable results.   Foundations for Leadership and Team Building. Discover how effective leadership isn't just about tactics—it's about building the right internal “latticework” or foundation within yourself. Deep insights into overcoming limiting beliefs, handling employees, and being the leader your business needs.   The Importance of Accountability and Community. Keith emphasizes finding accountability partners and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you spiritually and professionally. You'll hear stories about how being held accountable and tapping into peer groups can dramatically change your trajectory.   Balancing Material and Spiritual Success. There's a strong thread about connecting your heart to your work, integrating service and passion, and understanding the role spirituality (specifically references to God and faith) plays in driving success and fulfillment.   "If you see your life and your business as a curse and you're asking why is that not happening for me?... would you think that a multiple six or seven figure business and all the things that you say you want are just going to show up in your life and fall in your lap without you first becoming the person that is required to be a good steward of those things?" - Keith Kalfas   Episode Overview:    [00:00:37] The Privilege of Participation: Your Business & Your Future Keith delivers a heartfelt message on seizing your future, emphasizing that operating a business is already a win. He shares a quote from Joshua Latimer: “It's a privilege to even be able to participate in what God is going to do anyway.” He challenges listeners to shift their mindset, master internal belief systems, and recognize that external success mirrors internal readiness. [00:02:45] Mindset Change: Solving Problems with New Thinking Drawing on insights from Albert Einstein and real-world entrepreneurs, Keith emphasizes the transformative power of mindset and self-leadership. He unpacks the concept of business pillars—marketing, administration, production, and sales—while encouraging listeners to shore up weak spots in both their business structure and personal consciousness. [00:05:04] Interior Empires & Personal Development Keith discusses the concept of “interior empires” by Robin Sharma, diving into personal growth, self-discipline, and the necessity of healing past traumas for sustained business success. He shares personal anecdotes of friends who restructured their entire lives to become more present, fulfilled, and abundant. [00:09:03] Money, Morals, and Meaning: Why You Need a Connected Heart Keith explores the tension between working for passion versus money, advocating for a conscious, heart-connected approach to service. He draws from teachings by Dr. Wayne Dyer, using the metaphor of a magnet to explain the necessity of embracing life's highs and lows for personal and professional growth. [00:18:00] Urgency & Commitment: Make the Change Now Keith shares tough love, urging listeners to stop procrastinating and get their house in order today—not tomorrow. He references Tony Robbins on the dangers of drifting through life and stresses the importance of making committed decisions to change your standards and outcomes. [00:19:45] The Power of Faith & the Holy Spirit Keith reflects on his spiritual journey, discussing the impact of asking God for wisdom and the transformative effects of healthy spiritual fear and humility. He encourages practical spiritual steps such as repentance and prayer as a means to true inner change. [00:21:34] Transformation Stories & Healthy Accountability Sharing a powerful testimony about his aunt's newfound peace through faith, Keith underscores the power of spiritual transformation. He advocates finding spiritually strong accountability partners to hold you to your highest standards—emotionally, spiritually, and in business. [00:23:45] Final Takeaways: Who Are You Being? Keith distills the episode down to a core truth: your business results flow directly from who you are being. He invites listeners to reflect on their identity, motivation, and the cost of NOT becoming who they are meant to be—for themselves, their families, and their legacy.   Key Takeaways Mindset Shapes Your Future - Your success starts within. Transform your mindset and beliefs to unlock the growth you want for your business and life.

Who do you look up to the most? Is it a superhero from a comic book, a famous athlete, or a historical figure? We often forget the everyday heroes who quietly make a big impact on our lives. Our dads, the real-life heroes in our families, shape who we become, teach us important values, and help us navigate life's twists and turns. In today's episode of the Insight Out podcast, I have the pleasure of having a conversation with Paul Epstein. Paul has a remarkable background as a former top-tier executive in both NFL and NBA organizations, and he's also a two-time bestselling author of the books "The Power of Playing Offense" and "Better Decisions Faster." His exceptional achievements in 2022 earned him a spot among SUCCESS magazine's prestigious list of accomplished thought leaders, sharing the spotlight with well-known names such as Tony Robbins, Brené Brown, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mel Robbins. Furthermore, Paul's work has received significant recognition and media coverage, being featured on major platforms like ESPN, NBC, Fox Business, and USA Today.  In our conversation, Paul shares powerful stories about the impact his parents had on his life, shaping his core values of growth, impact, courage, authenticity, and belief. He discusses his father's influence on his students and his mother's courage in the face of adversity. Paul also talks about his journey from a successful sports manager to a more authentic self, acknowledging the role of his executive coach, Suzanne, in this transformation. He introduces the "head heart hands equation" for decision-making and discusses the importance of personalizing and internalizing values. The episode highlights the significance of authenticity, self-reflection, and making better decisions faster. In This Episode: [05:30] Age 19: A pivotal and life-changing moment [07:42] Real leadership and impact [09:44] Courage modelled by Paul's dad [09:51] Courage as a superpower [12:13] The ripple effect of small acts [14:10] Finding and living your core values [20:31] The beauty of the journaling process [22:02] The importance of memorializing and defining values [26:23] The impact of belief and humility [32:18] Feeling off despite winning [34:09] Feedback on not caring about the team [37:12]Overcoming self-limiting beliefs [40:31] The audit and self-reflection [41:49] The Jerry Maguire leap [44:00] The head-heart-hands equation Notable Quotes [00:11:00] “Courage is standing tallest when fear and risk are highest” -Paul [00:14:29] “Confidence is the Annie that we need to make better decisions faster. Confidence is the Annie to play. If you want to play offence in a world that is largely stuck on defence and so confidence is the through line.” -Paul [00:27:16] "I want to surround myself with people that do what they don't want to do in the unseen hours because they believe in it and because they care about it. That, in a sentence, is how I would describe people that win in life.”- Paul [00:32:18] “I don't feel purpose, there's a bunch of different shades of this, it's a very gray kind of space but like at the end of the day you just know it's not perfect” -Paul Resources and Links Paul Epstein ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulepsteinspeaks/⁠ https://www.instagram.com/paulepsteinspeaks/ ⁠https://www.paulepsteinspeaks.com⁠ This is an encore episode and was originally published on October 27, 2023 Learn more about your ad choices.

For many new agents, the top producers in the office are intimidating. Their success feels out of reach; it's something you'll never accomplish yourself. But for some agents, those same people are motivating. They're proof that it can be done, and they become the standard to chase.  Emilee Mosso went from wanting to be like those agents to achieving success in her own right. And at 23, she's done $10 million in volume, and this is just the beginning.  How did Emilee turn her goals into a reality? How did she move past some of the places that keep agents stuck?  It starts with showing up before you feel ready, asking for help instead of guessing, and treating every “no” as practice for the next “yes.” In this episode of Level Up, the Century 21 Blackwell agent shares the mindset and approach behind her success. We also unpack how to learn from the right people, move through rejection without losing momentum, and develop the habits that make you a top producer.   In the beginning, you take the no's personally. Now, when someone says no, I just think I'm closer to someone who will tell me yes. -Emilee Mosso   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Consistency compounds faster than talent How does showing up, especially on the days you don't feel like it, quietly build the kind of momentum that skill alone can't? The hidden advantage in rejection What shifts when “no” stops meaning you failed and starts meaning you're still moving forward? Why agents really fear listings Most agents stay buyers' agents, not because they can't handle listings, but because rejection from a seller feels personal. How do you push through that fear and build real leverage on the other side of it? The value of proximity How much faster can you grow when you surround yourself with people who've already done what you're trying to do?   Guest Bio Emilee Mosso is a licensed North & South Carolina real estate agent at Century 21 Blackwell.

What if the next level of your leadership isn't about learning more but aligning more? In this conversation with Grace Najean, we explore how high achievers can move from stress-driven success to effortless, purpose-anchored leadership. As a former concert pianist turned corporate strategist and master coach with Tony Robbins, Grace brings a rare left-brain/right-brain lens to leadership. In our talk, we unpack her “vessel, compass, and light” model—body, mind, and consciousness—and why knowledge alone rarely transforms a leader. We also name the pattern many of us feel but seldom admit: “achievement fatigue.” Grace offers simple, practical practices and a dimensional view of leadership.  If you're ready to trade pressure for presence, this episode will meet you where you are and invite you to lead from alignment. Here are some highlights: • From knowledge to integration: Shift from simply collecting information to truly integrating it by aligning your body (energy/resilience), mind (clarity/emotional intelligence), and consciousness (presence/intuition), so leadership transforms rather than just informs. • Naming “achievement fatigue”: Recognize the often-hidden cost of success—feeling drained despite appearing successful—and gain the language and awareness to identify the blind spots that high achievers often overlook. • A practical reset you'll actually use: Implement simple yet effective practices, such as coherent breathing (inhale for 5, exhale for 5), a 50-to-1 countdown for focus, and a morning visualization of 2–3 outcomes, to shift your day from reactive to intentional. • The 3D→4D→5D leadership framework: Progress from 3D (survival/reactive) to 4D (awakening/self-aware) to 5D (visionary/aligned), realizing that true leadership comes not from more strategy, but from changing the dimension in which you operate. • Retreat as a catalyst for alignment: Discover why immersive environments, like Grace's 7-day retreat in Lombok, are key to accelerating transformation, using vocal empowerment and energy work to help leaders align their mind, body, and purpose. About the guest: Grace's professional and personal journey embodies the fusion of creativity, strategy, and soulful leadership. Starting as a professional pianist in her youth, she cultivated discipline and artistic expression that remain integral to her leadership approach. Transitioning into corporate roles, Grace spent over a decade excelling in strategy and business development before stepping into her calling as a leadership coach. Her eight years as a Platinum Tony Robbins Coach and over 4,500 hours of coaching have empowered her to transform high-performing leaders around the globe. Through these experiences, she developed The Soulfluence© , a framework that harmonizes Body, Mind, and Consciousness for authentic and impactful leadership.

Very first call with that coach changed my life fundamentally forever. I was telling her, I'm doing all the podcasts, listening to the books, reading the books, I'm doing all the things. Why isn't it happening for me? I want this to work so bad. And she said, very calmly, Brad, you are so attached to success that you're missing the whole point. You're under the impression that you shouldn't be where you are right now. Business, success and money, it's never going to make you happy. It's rewiring your mind for happiness that'll make you successful. Lesley Logan 0:39  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:17  All right, babes, I'm keeping this quick because our guest day is gonna blow your mind. Get your notebooks out, get your pens out. Get ready to hit rewind. If you're driving in your car, make sure Siri listens to you so you can rewind whenever you need to because this episode is an episode I've wanted to have for over a year. For over a year I've wanted to have this episode. So, Brad Bizjack is our guest today, and we're gonna talk about perfectionism, certainty, achieve, being an achiever. And literally, how do you actually change your life? How do you actually be it till you see it? So stay tuned all the way to the end. You don't wanna miss it. Here's Brad Bizjack. Lesley Logan 1:52  All right, Be It babe. Get ready. Just get ready. I already know it's gonna be amazing. I'm so excited. I wanted this person on the pod, since I heard him on my old coach's pod. Here's the deal. I remember seeing this guy's name on my feed in several podcasts, okay? And I was like, okay, someone's doing a launch, that's fine. And then I saw him on my old coach's pod, and I was like, you know, I haven't listened to her pod for a while. I'm gonna listen to this guy so I'm walking through the streets of Cambodia right before we're out to have a retreat. And I listened to this thing, and I was like, oh my god I didn't realize I'm stuck. I'm, this is the feeling I'm having. I'm feeling stuck. So I'm gonna sign up for this. So I told Brad, my husband, Brad, I said, babe, I signed us up for a launch. I think I want to be launched at it's been a while, so let's do it. Let's just like, let's just go through someone's thing. Let's just get taught. Let's get our cup filled, and then we'll just see what kind of emails come through. Because of the timing, my husband actually was on Hong Kong time, meaning when we got back from Cambodia, he was up every day at 5am and your calls were at like, 6am our time, something early. Brad would never, ever he would have to watch replays. We dog walked every morning listening to you. And of course, the day that you're like, okay, I'm running this program. We're like, okay, we're the first to sign up. Like, we're already in, and we stuck with it for, like, whatever, six months, a year. It was amazing. So Brad Bizjack is our guest today, and the and the reason I wanted to have him on is because of what you're gonna hear right now. Brad, what do you rock at? Who are you? Tell us everything about you.Brad Bizjack 3:18  First of all, that was, like, the best way of getting into our each other's worlds I've ever heard like, what a crazy story. So grateful for the opportunity to be here. I help people rewire the limiting beliefs, toxic thought patterns, limiting emotional patterns that are getting in the way of the success, freedom and fulfillment they really deserve that they don't really go know are going on behind the scenes. So we help people identify that and shift that. Lesley Logan 3:41  I mean, I think that's there's so many people who need that. Like, that's.Brad Bizjack 3:45  Like everybody. Lesley Logan 3:45  Like everybody, most people don't know they need it. And the ones that do kind of get overwhelmed with, like, all of the things, like, they get involved in that perfectionism. Like, I gotta check this box. I gotta do this thing, and if I just read this one more book, then, then I will be fixed, right? Brad Bizjack 4:01  100% I think people will use over-studying as like procrastination in disguise and not even realize they're doing it just because they're overvaluing certainty. And we can go more into that if you want, but yeah, that's a very, very common thing we see. Lesley Logan 4:15  You are correct. I actually looked up like signs of imposter syndrome, right? And or the like, types of imposter syndrome, because, like, there's imposter syndrome, which is, like, you're new at something, so you are going to feel that way because you're new at something, and that's great. But also, then there's like, the imposter syndrome when you're, like, actually qualified to do things, but you're you're feeling like an imposter. And so I was teaching on this, and so I did some research, and one of the signs that you are causing that is that perfectionism. If I just get one more certificate, if I learn one more thing, if I study this, and I'm a Pilates instructor who teaches Pilates instructors, and they'll go, I can't take your business class, because, actually, I needed to study this Wunda Chair. And I'm like, no one even knows what a Wunda Chair is, like until they know what Pilates is, like, no one cares. You need to know how to run a business that doesn't burn you out. Like, but you but people will overwhelm themselves. So can we talk about that perfectionism, certainty, like, what it what is, what are the signs that people are doing these things? Because I think sometimes they don't even see it in themselves. Brad Bizjack 5:13  Yeah, I think, you know, when we talk about rewiring limiting beliefs and toxic thoughts, like you said, I don't think people know they're doing it. But if anyone's ever been in a situation where they know they want their life to change and they just can't get themselves to take action, or there's a limiting behavior they participate in and they don't know why they do it, even though it's not serving them, or they know exactly what to do and they're procrastinating consistently. Or they're in a spot where they just can't get themselves to move and they see their laptop staring at them, begging them to change their life, and even though they care so much, they just don't care in the moment. And there's this piece of you that says, I know I'm meant for so much more than what I'm getting right now, but for some reason, I can't get myself to move or take action. Any of those are some of the most common symptoms that I see. But there's also one on the flip side, and that's calling out all the achievers in the room, the people that have taken the action or forced themselves through willpower to get moving. Those people end up basing their worth on more, more success, more money. And so it feels like their worth is a moving target. So they'll bounce from goal to goal, peak to peak, to do list, to to do list. Nothing feels like enough, and everything they do just feels like they're battling burnout. So if you're in a spot where you either are constantly seeking the how, which is basically exactly what we were just talking about, glorified procrastination, and let me actually backtrack on this a little bit, because I think it's really important, we need to know the how, just not right away, right? You can't head east looking for the sunset, right? It doesn't work that way. And so when you know what you want and why you want it, the how reveals itself, but when you get so caught up in seeking the how, because of living in this fear of not being certain, then you end up just tiptoeing around the edges of your dream, playing not to lose instead of playing to win. So any action you do take is you mistaking movement for achievement, and you'll take little, itty bitty actions instead of the ones that will actually yield results. And so you feel like you're spending all day on this dream, but you're not getting anywhere. And the main reason is because you are overvaluing certainty at a very high level, which is really what perfectionism is. It just means that you are afraid of what happens if you're not totally certain, and that somehow it's going to mean that you're unworthy. If you think about the human brain, its job is not to make you happy, its job is to make sure you survive. And you see people all the time saying, well, I self-sabotage. I get in my own way. Well, it's physically impossible to self-sabotage. Think about it. Your brain is a survivalist. Its job is to keep you alive. So why would it ever cause you harm? What's actually happening is you're just meeting a need, and the survival-based need that's embedded into all of our DNA is the need for certainty. And when you overvalue certainty. What actually happens is like, think about it, millions of years ago, you weren't worried about building your Pilates business or whatever it is. You were worried about the saber tooth tiger that was hiding in the bushes that was going to eat your baby, right? You you didn't have the these you weren't worried about success and fulfillment. You were worried about staying alive. Well, we don't have the same threats, but we do have the same mind. And so we link up putting ourselves out there on social or starting a podcast or sending an email or prospecting whatever, or starting a new fitness regimen. We we link it up as a survival-based threat when it's not, it's just misplaced. And so that's what a lot of people do. And I see people over-study all day long, and they use personal development as a way to escape developing personally, and it just gets in their own way.Lesley Logan 8:51  Oh my God. Everyone hit rewind. That was the most amazing, that is the most amazing thing I've heard. And I also think, like, what a great clip. And like, we can it's a great question to ask yourself, like, am I, am I doing this to escape, you know, am I? Am I? Am I working on this thing one more time? Tweak to to busy ourselves from what it actually is, which is the change we have to make. And change is really difficult. It, I don't, I don't, I actually want to say, I don't know that change is actually that difficult. Because, from what I understand about studying habits and mindset, right? So during the pandemic, I was like, I need to figure out why like, some people make a habit and some people don't like what's going on here. And also, I had a great yoga teacher who was like, that, we always wanna make things that are right or wrong, bad or good. And he's like, actually, that's not how the world works, like because if it's serving you like it could be bad for one person, but not for you, right? So I was like, okay, and I started with BJ Fogg, and he said there's no such thing as a bad habit. Every single thing we do is serving our mind. Our mind actually, truly lives off of what makes us feel good. And, so if you're like, but I hate scrolling, it's a bad habit, right? But you, when you scroll, something is happening in your mind that is giving you relief, excitement, joy, or it could even just be like, like, you can just like, exhale, right? So your brain isn't doesn't know bad or good. It knows shame and judgment doesn't make me feel good, and these things make me feel good, and so we actually create habits instantly based on emotions. So that's why I think that change isn't hard if we know how our brain works. Brad Bizjack 10:31  100%. If you think about change, change does not take a long time to do. It actually happens in an instant when you actually have the leverage to create change, right? Like so many people have had a time in their lives when they've dealt with a really painful situation, like a tough relationship, or, let's say, let's say that they weren't exercising or eating well, or so anything like that, and they've known that they should take a different action, but they haven't gotten themselves to do it until one day when something happens, and all of a sudden, some lever is pulled, and all of a sudden it's easy and it's not hard anymore. It's because in the moment, you started shifting the beliefs and the emotions that were going on behind the scenes to create leverage to actually move, and there's actually a reason why this happens. And I'm happy to dive into how behavior change actually works in people. If you want me to dive deep into that, I can. But if we think so, let's say most people, most people, if you imagine like a big triangle with different like levels in this triangle, at the very base of this triangle is your 3D environment or your results. This is really how life is. Now, most people don't recognize that all of life is cause and effect, everything. And if you obsess over the effect, you forget the cause. And if you don't focus on the cause, you can no longer influence the effect. Well, most people think that their life circumstances are the cause of how they feel, how they live, everything. They think, I don't have this money, therefore I can't be happy. I can't take different action. I can't grow a big business. I don't have a big business, therefore I can't ask people to join my business, right? It's, it's backwards thinking. It's once I have a different life, then I can take a different action. So what most people end up doing is they sit around complaining about their circumstances. And the challenge with complaining is you only complain about things that you could change. You're just too afraid to, right? So you don't complain about gravity. You complain about money. Well, money is something you can make right now if you want to, you can attract it anytime you want to. So it starts at the bottom of this pyramid with your 3D environment and your results. Now most people, they think that if they focus on what's not happening in their life, somehow magically, it's going to change, and it doesn't. If I could give one calling to everybody here, it's the fact that you are 100% responsible for every single part of your life, even the parts that are not your fault. Now before you want to punch me in the face, let me explain, right? I don't mean that that thing that happened in your life is your fault. You are not to blame. Blame focuses on the past and what went wrong. Responsibility means the ability to respond. This is how I'm going to perceive it, move about it, go forward in the future. And that's everyone's responsibility, regardless of what happened in your life. So once you start taking responsibility for your life, you start trying to impact the cause of a different 3D environment of results, and you step up one level in that pyramid to behaviors and habits. And most people, they try to form a habit. It takes 21 days to form a habit. You see all this stuff, well, how many people listening have ever done really, really good for about two or three weeks, and then all of a sudden they fall off? There's a reason why. Because when you try to change at a behavior level, meaning, take a different action, which isn't a bad thing. It's not bad if you want to, let's say, lose weight or gain weight, or whatever your goals are, if you take a different action, it will yield a different result when done consistently over time. The problem is that when you try to change at a behavior level, you have to negotiate with the mind. You automatically question if you are capable of making it happen. So it feels like this constant fight, and you have to rely on willpower. Willpower is push motivation, right, and we all use willpower sometimes. Nothing wrong with willpower. But if you rely on it, it leads to one thing, and that is burnout. We need to get to a place of pull, where hard work isn't hard work, where you just move. So when you are changing, from a behavior perspective, you're wanting to know, am I doing it right? You're seeking the strategy first, the how, right, and when you crave the how over crave the how, you likely don't actually take the actions that will yield the results. So what influences our behaviors and habits? Go one level higher, and that is your capability. And most people don't recognize what's influencing their capability are three things. Number one is what you consume. If you consume social media gossip on a daily basis, that's not really going to help your sales habit, right? If you can consume news media, that's not going to really help with practicing gratitude, right? It's going to hurt it. So number one is what you consume, because whatever goes in your eyes and ears comes out your mouth, and it leads to the second thing, which is skills. You, let's say that you're still that you're trying to grow a business, and the habit you're trying to deploy is consistent sales or prospecting or marketing? Well, you need to study sales and marketing. The skills of those things are required to change the habits and therefore change the environment. And so we need different skills. If your skills that you're studying is okay, I just want to learn how to bake cakes, but your goal is to grow a business, well, it's mismatched, right? But the third thing that's most powerful, is, that it influences your capability, is your peer group. Your life is a direct reflection of the expectations of the people you surround yourself with. And we can have a whole freaking podcast episode on this alone. It's so important. So these three levels are temporary behavior change. Anything at the skill at the capability level, behavior level and 3D environment level, it doesn't seem to last. And if it ever does, it's because we're changing at a higher level than that. And so it's not bad to change these things. Your capability does influence your behaviors and habits, and that does influence your environment, but it never, most people never decide to change above the line of lasting change, which is what influences all of this. Before I go into that, you seem like you have thoughts, my friend.Lesley Logan 16:53  Well, I just, I do, because you just said, like, most people don't go above the line of lasting change. And I think, like, that intrigues me, because it's like, are we saying that like, they'll do enough, they start to get going, and then they, like, revert back, or they just kind of stay at this place that's like, good enough. Like, tell me what the line of lasting change is.Brad Bizjack 17:14  Well, the strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent with who you already think you are. Lesley Logan 17:20  Oh, yes. Brad Bizjack 17:21  And so if you believe or identify as a failure or think that money is hard to make, you can try all day long to change, but you're gonna go back. You're gonna find a way, because life will, whatever you believe, will determine the level of potential you tap into. That determines the actions you do or don't take and how well you do them. That determines your results, and it literally reinforces what you believe. That's why, right above this line of lasting change, if you actually want to make change, it's your beliefs and values that's that's the next step, that's what actually influences lasting change. So you mentioned, do people go back? They'll go back to what they believe, what they value, and how they identify always, they'll find a way. And so before I explain that, does that make sense so far? Lesley Logan 18:07  Yeah, that does. And I think, like, where I, where I, like, my brain is like, okay, so I also know that the brain is like, dissonance. So if, if, if I, if I think I'm a failure, but I just have to walk around going, I'm not a failure. I'm not a failure. Like, I don't know, like, I don't know that that is like, the answer, right? Like, so how do I go from like, seeing myself and believing that I'm a failure and then actually truly seeing myself in value that I'm not a failure?Brad Bizjack 18:35  Yeah, there's three ways to shift any belief pattern. Number one is doubt, right? If you introduce doubt to this and so that is real life examples, right? If, let's use the example of money is hard to make, right? That's a belief that a lot of people have. Well, if that is the belief, what evidence do you currently have supporting that? Because you're likely overly focusing on it. If you introduce doubt to that belief and say, well, not hard for John. It's not hard for Lesley, like and you surround yourself with evidence. Is that actually true? Or is that something that I was just told growing up? Rich people are greedy. Is that actually true or if I take a look around at all the people that I know that have money, they're the ones giving the most to charities, right? So it's evidence that shows that that belief is false. But the challenge with this is changing at a logical level is very, very hard, right? If most people don't recognize that, it's next to impossible to logic and reason your way out of anxiety. It just makes the anxiety worse. It's because it's, at a nervous system level, it responds, your body responds way faster than thoughts ever will. So we need to change our beliefs in other ways, and that is pain. We talked earlier about how people like how change is not really that hard once you have leverage, if you can see the consequences of what happens if you don't change, a nd actually live those consequences in your mind, you will start to change. I was at a Tony Robbins event years ago, and he shared something that really made an impact on how I viewed behavior change. And he used the example of a Christmas carol, Ebenezer Scrooge, right? And how he's a total butt head, super mean to all these people, because he thinks that that's why he's successful. It's not why he's successful. It's not why he's successful. He's brilliant, he works hard, all these things. And his life was going pretty bad, and he just kept on going until three until one night, three neuro associative conditioning specialists showed up at his house that goes to Christmas past, present and future, and they linked up unbearable pain to the way that he's lived up until now, the way that he's living and what his life will look like if he keeps living that way. And when you're boxing from the left, from the right and behind you, guess what you move. Most people value comfort and safety and certainty, so they don't want to give themselves a healthy dose of pain. They don't want to see the consequences of consistently doing it this way. And people are like, well, I know the consequence is going to hurt me. It's going to hurt my kids. Everyone has a leverage point, but sometimes that leverage point isn't your stereotypical oh, it's going to hurt my finances. Oh, it's going to hurt my kids. Your job is to find out what it is that you actually will have in your life that's going to cause you pain that you care about, that'll get you to move. That's the second way to create a change. The third is vision. Human beings are driven by their need to avoid pain and gain pleasure, right? What we just talked about is pain avoidance, and that's very strong, and typically the most strong, but we're also driven by pleasure, and when we can be compelled by a beautiful vision of the future, it gives us a reason to overcome this. So if we think about what identity is, the identity of I'm a failure, that is just a strongly held belief, right? So beliefs and values. Beliefs are just feelings of certainty. That's all it is. And a value is an emotional state you live in, and value feeling, right? So if we think about a belief as let's use the example of the sky is blue, most people think that. But what about during sunset? What about at night? What about sunrise? What about when it's raining? What about the scientific answer that it's not any color, right? It introduces doubt. So we have these beliefs based on evidence in our life, whether that is our upbringing, trauma, consistent results that reinforce this feeling of certainty, until we introduce uncertainty to that certainty. So it's so interesting, the thing that you're craving the most of, certainty, that's the very thing that's keeping you in the exact same spot, right? If we look at it from a values perspective, most people don't recognize they have values conflicts going on, right? Most people value success, but they equally value avoiding rejection, and so that's going to create conflict. And all of this rolls up into your identity, who you think you are. So those three things, shifting the identity through doubt, pain, and there's other ways too, and vision, shifting your beliefs and shifting your values that automatically influence your capabilities, automatically influences your behaviors and habits, cascades down right into different results. And we can do a real life example, or we can move on. But the whole point is, most people just fall back to where they are because they have a belief at a fundamental level, this is who I am, and your brain will always default to going back there. Lesley Logan 23:18  Yeah, I do want to do a real quick example, but I want to say, like, probably not a decade ago, but a long time ago, I was listening to a podcast, and I really, really so wish I could find this episode, but it was talking about how, scientifically, they can prove that your brain will tell your body exactly what you're thinking. So they actually took these people and they told them they were going to brand them. They put them in a room. They blindfolded them. They had the fire making the noise, they had the sizzling. They said, This is what the branding is going to look like. This is what it's going to be like. This is going to happen to you. Then they like, did the sizzle, then they touch them with a pen. And some people's arms developed a like a sore, a redness mark in the shape of the branding that they said they were not branded. No one was hurt doing this thing. But it's a scientific experiment, and they have also studied people who like, if you tell yourself, I'm I'm fat, and you're someone who is wanting to lose weight, that's a journey you want to go on. They have actually seen that those people do produce more fat, have bigger fat cells, all these different things, versus people who don't have a judgment about how they look. Their cells look quite different. Another study they did was a guy, a doctor, who wanted to know if I scrape a knee or if I drain a knee, which one of those things is actually helping these people's knee issues, right? So they had to take three groups. Had to take a group of people who needed this, but they did nothing to. They had to take a group of people that they just drained, and they had a group of people that they just like, scraped right. Every single person got put under, got the same music, was told what the surgery was going to be like, and then they waited to see what happened. And the people who had nothing to their knee, nothing, no draining, no scraping, they did two little pricks, put 'em under, play the surgical video while they're in anesthesia, they had the same results as people who had anything done. And so is this point that, like, our brains are so powerful, they literally tell us things. And so it's so important what we are telling ourselves that we have to know. So I just wanna, like, highlight everything you said, because it is really, is really important that we, we tell ourselves the things we actually want to hear we want our body to do. Yeah.Brad Bizjack 25:31  Well, you know what's interesting, too. Have you ever noticed that when a lot of people do affirmations, it doesn't really stick? Why? Have you ever thought why that is and it it's because they're not telling themselves powerfully. When you are about to have a surgery or something like that, and you tell and the brain genuinely thinks something is going to happen, it is just like you said, so incredibly powerful, so powerful because the belief is held so strongly that this is going to happen. That's how powerful your brain is. But what we typically do when someone pulls like an affirmation card, right, and it says, I am worthy, and your brain goes bullshit, right? Or I am abundant. Have you seen your bank account? It's because it's done through less conviction and certainty. It's done through the lens of basically being passive. And so if you think about all these scenarios, these scenarios are from a place of this is it's almost like this is fact, where a belief is being communicated with absolute conviction. And so to the degree in which you can be convicted in your statements about yourself, that's the degree that behavior change happens. And once you do your brain just it goes to war for who you think you are or what you think is going to happen. That's why, when someone is in a space where you identify them as a success story, the worst things in the world could be happening for them, and you know without a doubt, they'll be completely fine. They'll figure it out. Because you always default back to what you feel most convicted about.Lesley Logan 27:05  Yeah, real life, example, and, and if it's possible, I, we didn't do this. We didn't actually talk about, like, how you got to, how you got to be so amazing. (inaudible) Just in case, people think, oh my god, easy for you to say, Brad. Like, life must be so easy for you. Like, you know, like, I think some people again, the brain is like, okay, well, Lesley and Brad just have it together. Everything works out for them. Somebody, okay, really quick. So I have a bot that is trained up 10 million of my words. And someone asked it like, have you ever had to handle a setback? And my bot thankfully said, yeah, daily, yeah. So anyways, go ahead.Brad Bizjack 27:43  So I'll share kind of a little bit of backstory. I was, came out, out of college, $92,000 in debt, and at that stage in my life, I wanted more money. I wanted to be able to add avocado without having to worry about overdraft in my bank account, right? Like, that's what I really wanted. And I found online business, and I was like, this is going to change my financial circumstances. But really what I wanted at that stage in my life was to be the breaking point of mediocrity in my family history. I wanted something I could chase after, and so online business was my ticket. A lot of people have other vehicles. That was mine. There was just one problem. It didn't work. I spent seven years, eight years, never making more than $24,000 a year as a group fitness instructor trying to get a business off the ground. I also had a corporate job, and I'll share a little bit of backstory with that in just a moment, but I would try to get this thing off the ground, and it didn't, It didn't happen. And so my mentor told me, dude, you need a mindset coach. What you're doing clearly isn't working. And I was like, but I'm $92,000 in debt. There's no way that I can hire a coach. And she's like, I'm gonna tell you, man, if nothing changes, nothing changes. So I maxed out a credit card, went $98,000 in debt, hired a coach. Very first call with that coach changed my life, fundamentally, forever. I was telling her, I'm doing all the podcasts, listening to the books, reading the books, I'm doing all the things. Why isn't it happening for me? I want this to work so bad. And she said, very calmly, Brad, you are so attached to success that you're missing the whole point. You're under the impression that you shouldn't be where you are right now. Business success and money, it's never going to make you happy. It's rewiring your mind for happiness that'll make you successful. At that stage, I was resenting everything in my life. I was saying it was wrong in some way. I wasn't seeing life happening for me. So I bought a ticket to a conference to really work on shifting my beliefs. I didn't have this technology back then. I didn't understand all this stuff back then, I just knew I needed, I just knew I needed to change my mindset. That's all I labeled it as back then. And I remember buying the plane ticket, hotel, all that stuff in San Diego, and about a month before that event, I got fired from my job. Now I'm $98,000 in debt now. No income, no savings. But luckily, I had that plane ticket, and I fly across the country, land in San Diego, go to the grocery store, buy peanut butter and jelly, like I did 100 times a day at that point. And I overdrafted my bank account on peanut butter and jelly, and it was just this, this place of defeat, where I just felt like nothing was ever gonna change, and I walk into that conference tail between my legs, and the topic that day was all about how the human mind works, and shifting your belief systems and identities and values and all these things. And it changed everything. We went on to pay off that 100 grand in debt within a year, we retired my wife from corporate America, we built up a million, multimillion dollar per year business. We've served 70,000 people all over the world. And now we have a little girl, and I'm going to be the dad that I want to be for her, and be at every single every single dance recital, or baseball or whatever it is. And it was because of shifting above the line of lasting change. It was because I had the courage to look at those things that most people avoid. And that's my calling to everybody here. And so if we do a real world example of this pyramid, that's literally what I did. If we look at the left side like, imagine that, that pyramid, that triangle, one identity is, I'm a failure right? Well, cascade that down. What does a failure believe? Success will never happen. Money is hard to make. What does a failure value? They value security. They value safety, right? So what does that do to my capabilities? What am I going to study if I believe I'm a failure? The news, social media. Who am I going to surround myself with other people that identify as failures to prove these beliefs true. So what happens to my habits? I'll just go through my day. I'll grab a beer at the end of the day, sit in the couch feeling sorry for myself, watching Friends reruns. And so what happens to my environment? Same overdraft, same bank account issues. That was my life. When I shifted this, everything going on behind the scenes, and started identifying as, let's use the example of a successful entrepreneur, right, just as an example. Or let's just use I am successful, right? Well, what's a belief system that comes from someone that identifies as successful? Money flows to me, or, you know, business is service, things like that. What does a successful person value? They value success, freedom, love, contribution, awesome. So let's go down to capabilities. What skills am I studying? Persuasion, marketing, sales. Okay, what, what am I consuming? Positive, uplifting books and videos and things like that. I'm not spending my time on social media and all that stuff and wasting my brain away comparing to the to the world. Who am I surrounded by? People that have what I want. So then what cascades into behaviors and habits? I'm focusing on the most important activities, the marketing, the sales. I'm making, the offers I'm putting myself out there in the world. So what happens to my environment? Naturally make more money, naturally serve more people. It all, it all cascades. So the whole point of all of this is my life didn't change until I changed above the line of lasting change. And it's very easy to look at success stories or people that have some semblance of what you want in any capacity and see, okay, yeah, easy for you to say monster man, but it doesn't look at the years and years and years of struggle that it took for me to get to a point where change became a must, and, and that's so that's how everything kind of, kind of shook out. Lesley Logan 33:30  I, thank you for sharing that. And also, like, I'm sure everyone heard like, the be it till you see it in that like, in just like, okay, so if you are, you took the first triangle, like, I'm failure, I'm poor, whatever. You go through, like, that's where you were at. And then you take the triangle that you want to be, if I am a successful person. These are the skill sets. This is the mindset. These are people I'm hanging out with. That's be it till you see it, right. Like, that's truly like, why this podcast exists and, like, why I get so excited. Because as I hear you tell that story, I can think of the times, like, all, all the amazing times I had in my life that took me the next level. I did those things, right? Like there was a day, so I was homeless, and that really without address. I had couches to surf on. I had totaled my car leaving my ex's house. So that's fun. And the studio that I rented space for was closing, so now I have no place to teach my clients. I have one month to find a new place. I don't have a place I actually live. So that's a problem, because I need to live, I lived in L.A., so I need to live where I'm going to teach, right? And then I have no car. So I'm at Whole Foods, because, you know, when you, when you're living off credit cards, you go to Whole Foods for a salad, guys. And I'm, I'm at Whole Foods, and I get a phone call, and I don't I never answer my phone, but I answered my phone and it's like, hi, this is Los Angeles Magazine. Congratulations. You're the best Pilates instructor in Los Angeles. You're gonna be in the next issue one of I do this thing, and I'm like, sitting there and like, the clothes I've been in since the morning, because I have not made it to the gym yet where I can shower. And I'm like, wow, I, how did, I thought people paid for this, like, I thought, like, I didn't pay for this. Do you have the right phone number? They're like, nope. We went to your class and you were voted and, like, you got this. And I was like, oh, amazing. That's so amazing. I sat there, and I'm like, holy moly. Like, I'm homeless. I have no place to all these things are happening. And I remember going, okay, well, I am now the best Pilates instructor in Los Angeles. So where does she teach, and where does she live, and who did she take to this party? And I did all those things. My life changed. Changed dramatically. You guys, I ended up, like, literally, making friends with someone who ended up my husband. I, like, I had one of the best studios and Pilates businesses in Los Angeles. Everything, everything changed because, like, I sat there and I was like, okay, I can sit here and, like, wallow in my sweat and my overdraft. I definitely wasn't probably on overdraft, but I was using a credit card. But, like, but, like, I can sit here in that or I can go, someone just deemed me the best Pilates instructor. So if they think I am, like, what would that person do, and how does that person act? And it changed my whole life. And then it happened again in 2020, and, like, it just so I sit here and I listen to you, and I'm like, my goodness, like, we can do this whenever we need to, and then it like, you don't have to wait. We can actually make these changes. And I think it's really so fun to listen to you, because you just get so I'm sure everyone's saying, like, get so excited. Go, oh, this change is possible. Like, you make it all possible. And so I just thank you. What are you most excited about right now?Brad Bizjack 36:20  Oh, man, right now I am excited for delivering people the insights of daily motivation that they need. I'm developing this entirely new thing that's super, super exciting to help people just have consistent motivation in their lives every day for this exact concept that we're talking about. And also taking my daughter to Disney, which is gonna be freaking cool.Lesley Logan 36:38  Oh my God, that's gonna be, I think you'll have, you'll probably have more fun memories thank she, that is so cool. That is so cool. Oh my gosh. Okay, bro, I could talk to you forever, truly, truly. But we're gonna take a brief break, and then we're gonna find out if people can, can, you know, stalk you in the best way and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 37:01  Alright, Brad, where do you hang out? Where can people work with you, if they want to do this with you, if they want more than 35 minutes to do in their ear, like, what can they do?Brad Bizjack 37:08  Yeah, absolutely. So, so in terms of just consistent places where I'm showing up, on the gram jam @BradBizjack, I had motivational tips there on an ongoing basis. But if you really want to take these concepts and make them real. This is actually really, really amazing timing, because starting next week, I have a five day challenge that literally does everything we're talking about and makes them real in your life. It's called the Success Accelerator. This program has helped over 70,000 people shift their beliefs and identities and values to help them become the very best version of themselves, the version that they really want to be. And so yeah, it starts next week. There's going to be a ton of people in there, if you want to see how high performers achieve their goals faster than all their peers, with less stress, if you want to see how do we take these principles and really bring them to life in real time, giving you real tactical things to do each day to really make this happen, come into the Success Accelerator Program, it's going to be really, really powerful. So those would be the two, two best ways.Lesley Logan 38:07  Awesome. Okay, so we'll put the link in the show notes. We'll also email to you guys, if you're on the podcast email list, Brad, my Brad and I did this. That's exactly the time at the beginning of the show. It was, it's absolutely wonderful. I'm telling you like I would do it again, just because I think it's so important to remind yourself, because there's always like, another thing you're like, oh, I didn't do that one. I didn't do that part. I got this part. So I think it's just so amazing what you do. And you guys, it is five, it is five days, but it's wonderful, and it's a great way to start your day. You're going to want to do it, and there's replays, so you can always watch it later if you have to work. Okay, you have given us a ton but, but we have to ask the question, bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted, steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us? Brad Bizjack 38:47  Oh, my goodness, this is such a good one. This is probably one of the things that I'm most excited about right now. I have a very interesting take on big dreams and big goals. A lot of people will say things like, be realistic and stuff like that. I am actually completely different. My, the number one thing that I believe is you have to be compelled by a beautiful vision of the future. Otherwise, you would, you'll default to focusing on the past and present. So number one, by the way, is unreasonable dreams and goals. In my opinion, that's number one, and then taking full responsibility for making that happen. I think a lot of people hold themselves back from doing that. And if you start there, and we'll talk a lot about this in the challenge next week on how to do that successfully, that'll go a long way in actually making them possible.Lesley Logan 39:33  I love that. We haven't had anyone we've had a few people say those smart, tangible gold blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and that's really, if you do, I got actual habit like, that makes sense. But like, for a vision, no, no one gets out of bed for a reasonable like, you know, like, if shit hits the fan and you have a reasonable goal to work on, you're just gonna work on the shit that hit the fan and not, like, the reasonable goal. So I fucking love that. Brad, you are awesome. You guys, please let us know how you're gonna use these tips in your life. What your favorite takeaways are, if you sign up for the Success Accelerator, I wanna know. I promise you it will be five days well spent. I'm telling you from experience. And send this to a friend who needs to hear it. Because, as Brad said, like the people we hang around, they affect us, and so if you don't want to lose them, they need to hear this so that they can level up as well with you. So, Brad, thank you so much. And until next time everyone, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 40:29  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

You might expect my favorite interviews to be with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, or Barbara Corcoran. But one that surprised me — and stuck with me more than most — was with Scooter Braun. In this episode, I share the lessons Scooter taught me about resilience, humility, and the real human side of entrepreneurship. From his honesty about burnout and blind spots, to Jeff Bezos' reminder that true success is simply about evolving, this conversation hit me harder than most. Here's what you'll take away:• Why resilience and self-reflection matter more than achievements• The trap of chasing milestones instead of being present• Why building a family and community beats building an empire If you've ever felt the pressure to keep proving yourself, this episode will remind you that success isn't just about what you build — it's about who you become along the way.

Reset Your Life Thermostat: Simple Shifts to Reignite Your Drive and Redefine Success What if your life's limits weren't determined by circumstance—but by the temperature you've set for yourself? In this mashup episode, I'm bringing together six powerhouse conversations with Tony Robbins, Rob Dyrdek, Steve Weatherford, Brendon Burchard, Christina Pazsitzky, and Tom Bilyeu to explore the subtle but radical shifts that can reset your life's thermostat and raise your internal standard for success, fulfillment, and peace. Tony Robbins breaks down the science of transformation—why immersion, conditioning, and emotional state are the foundation of real change. Rob Dyrdek takes us behind the stunts and success stories to reveal what true life optimization looks like when you're building a life by design instead of by default. Steve Weatherford opens his heart in one of the rawest conversations I've ever had—showing how self-hate can masquerade as ambition, and how the real victory is learning to love yourself, not just your achievements. Then Brendon Burchard lays out the habits that high performers master to stay consistent, productive, and grounded—how to move the needle daily instead of getting lost in busywork. Christina Pazsitzky shares how forgiveness, humor, and meaning can turn even the hardest pain into redemption and perspective. And Tom Bilyeu reminds us that failure isn't a verdict—it's the birthplace of greatness. He proves that your past does not define you; the story you choose to write next does. Every one of these conversations points back to one truth: your life will always rise—or fall—to the level of your identity. When you change who you believe you are, your actions, habits, and outcomes follow. Whether it's resetting your mindset, rewriting your story, or rebuilding your routines, the next version of you is waiting on the other side of one decision. Key Takeaways: Your identity is your thermostat—raise it, and every area of your life follows. (Ed Mylett) Transformation happens through conditioning and immersion, not quick fixes. (Tony Robbins) True fulfillment comes when you optimize your life for what matters most, not just for success. (Rob Dyrdek) Achievement without self-love is self-destruction in disguise. (Steve Weatherford) Focus 60% of your effort on needle-moving actions that create impact. (Brendon Burchard) Healing and happiness start with choosing new meaning for your past. (Christina Pazsitzky) Failure is feedback—a gift that exposes the next level of your potential. (Tom Bilyeu) You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to make the decision to turn up your life's temperature—to demand more from yourself, to love yourself deeper, and to believe that you were born for something extraordinary.

What if failure wasn't the end... but the beginning of your breakthrough? In this powerful 15-minute intervention, Tony Robbins works with Anna, a young Inner Circle member, on how to deal with failure and the feeling of “losing time,” while keeping her mind fresh and positive. Tony shares the truth that success isn't about everything working out — it's about learning from setbacks and using failure as fuel. Every disappointment becomes feedback, every obstacle just a speed bump on the road to lasting success. Tony introduces his RPM system — Results, Purpose, and a Massive Action Plan — to give Anna a clear, practical framework for moving forward. He also shares a moving story from his friend Peter Guber's childhood, illustrating that persistence, not perfection, creates true achievement. The ultimate lesson: if you turn failure into learning, failure doesn't exist.  Please enjoy!
