Practice success doesn't always equal personal life happiness. Kiera talks about the Yes Success Model, and how to align your business goals with your personal life goals, because they're allowed to complement each other (and should, frankly). She asks probing questions that'll get you thinking about alignment and finding the right motivating factors to keep going.

And I am so excited because I love today's topic. And I hope that it just gives you a filtering and a process of how do I like actually make like growth decisions and life goals and like what is that long-term vision clarity? Like to me, it's such an empowering topic for you. And I'm so excited because I think that so many practice owners, when I meet them or we work with them, is they actually build a successful practice that they don't want. I've done it. I built a business that I didn't freaking want to work in. And I've said, like, hey, if I   If I actually like didn't have to work here and I didn't own this, would I keep working here? And if I can't say yes, then we might want to rework this. and honestly, growth without direction can leave you with more stress, more responsibility, and less freedom. And so today I just want to work on like sometimes bigger isn't always better. Sometimes like we just need to be better aligned is better. So bigger isn't always better. Doesn't mean bigger is wrong, but better aligned is where we're actually trying to go. So I want you guys just to know like a lot of owners feel stuck.   Even after they hit success. Like I had a podcast a while of like the empty millionaire. Like I thought like if I hit a million, everybody says this and I was like, Yeah, right, I'm not gonna be that person. No, I remember being like, So this is it, huh? Like, all right, we've hit a million.   Cool. Do I love my life? No. Like it was this wild thing. And so, like, why do we still feel stuck after hitting success? And how to create this vision that guides a lot of your decisions to where you have a filtering process of yes or no? Like I think about Willy Wonka and the golden egg, like yes, no, good, bad, like giving you kind of that framework to know. And then like what are some questions you should be asking before your next big move? So I think it's really fascinating because when we work with a client and we get on our first call, I'm not here to say like, what do you, what do you want to produce?   we call it the yes success model and the why stands for you. The number one thing I want to know is like what what's the life that you're trying to build? I say it often I will say it here. Your business should serve your life, not the other way around. And I've gotten it wrong for so many years where I've given up so much of my life to serve the business. I remember being like, I think back to when I first started the company and Jason and I would be hanging out and we were literally floating down the river. I kid you not, like we're rafting tubing, and I'm on my phone answering emails. And that was an aha moment for me of like here, I think you're doing this wrong.   Like you need to freaking shut it off and like be present. And I'm building like that's not the life I want. I don't want to be working seven days a week. I don't want to be psycho. I don't want to be stressed out of my mind. So like I think it's really powerful. Like I call it the yes success model. You are number one pillar. Then it's earnings and then it's systems and team development, not the other way around. If I mess up on you and your life and we are building a practice and you're not fulfilled at the end, we have failed. And that is my definition of it. So I don't want you guys chasing someone else's version of success.   I don't want you chasing more locations or operatories or production. I want you doing this because this lights you up and this is your vision and that not because you feel like that's what you should be doing. We're gonna stop shooting on ourselves. I have a practice, they produce about four million a year. They're at a 35% overhead, they work four days a week. People are like, you need another practice, and they're like, we don't want to. This is the life we want. And I think sometimes being that stalwart in your vision is really, really critical and pivotal. So today I just want you to like.   realize that vision planning, like I talk to offices all the time, if your team's not following, it's because you don't have a strong enough vision. If you're not happy in your life, it's because you don't have a strong enough vision of where you actually want to go. So I want you to really have these growth decisions that move you closer to the life you actually want, not further and further away from that. So number one, what are we gonna do? Hi, we're Dental A Team. I'm obsessed with you. I'm here to help you have the dreamiest life you could ever imagine. I love, love, love helping dentists and teams come together to live their best life.   And I really want to empower you, CEO dentist out there, the dentist who is the CEO of their life and their practice. I call it life and business on purpose. Like let's GSD together. So step one is let's define success beyond production. And for me, this is really hard. I remember there was a dentist I was talking to, and he's like, But Kiera, production is the only thing we can compare against. It's the only actual number. You're right. There is no number of like, what's my fulfillment measure today? Am I like 10%, 20%? There's nothing in there.   So it's really, really hard because sometimes we're like, well, my production number is the only thing that I compare with all the other dentists. But I have a dentist who's making a million a year, like he's producing a million a year, works three days a week, and loves his life. There is no way for me to say, like, what's his success measure? I can know what his production is and like, hey, I got an office over here doing 29 million. But we got to define our success beyond production. So production's a result, it's not a vision. So I really want you to have like   it's hard because like setting revenue goals without lifestyle goals is a miss. Saying yes to every opportunity is another miss. Feeling successful on paper but exhausted in reality, that's another miss. So we pivot it and sometimes I feel like this is the time where like pretend I'm your fairy godmother and I'm just gonna wave my magic wand for you. Like if you had no stressors, you didn't feel like anybody was judging you, no parents, no spouse, no family, no friends, no no, I don't know, like mean girl or mean guy sitting on your shoulder, how many days do you actually want to work?   What kind of dentistry do I actually love doing? When do I want to retire? Or like maybe scale back a few days? What about my family to look like? How much freedom do I actually want? Notice I didn't put in there any dollars in there because if we can focus on vision first, dollars come second. If I know what your vision is and what your life is, fantastic. We can go build. You guys, dentistry is untapped. It's freaking awesome. Like, so let's just build. Like, what does that look like? And you might realize, like, I don't know, Kiera. And so I was actually working with a friend this last weekend.   And he's like, Kiera, what do you do when you don't know where you want to go? And I was like, Well, step one is we got to have a little guiding star. Like, let's just do five or 10 years from today. What's your age and what do you want that to look like? You could go further and you could say, when I'm 90, what do I think I'd want to be doing right now? Like when Kiera's reliving her life at 90, sitting on her rocking chair with hot pink hair, like it's actually cutting candy. Pink, you're welcome. for that visual, like, what do I want my life to look like? So, whichever one's gonna work for you.   Sometimes a tenure for me, I just need like a little glowing light up on the hill. That's written in pencil. It doesn't have to be permanent. But what do I want that life to look like? And most people usually do it based on one of three things. It's either going to be a dollar amount, which is totally fine. It's going to be on a fulfillment, like what's going to drive you, or it's going to be on a purpose. So, like for me, massive impact. I drive so hard because I want to impact and serve every dang dentist out there. So share this podcast with somebody. Help me on my goal. Like, I'm obsessed with helping dentists have their best lives.   And so like that drives me literally in the middle of every vision board, unintentionally, it says massive impact. Like, what can I do that's gonna leave a stamp and a mark on so many people's lives? And so I built the podcast for free because it was a way for us to reach more people. I hope we brighten your day. You're welcome. Go leave us a review for it and tell more people about it so more people we can serve. Like genuinely, that's what it was. But that's like in the middle of my goal board. So for me, it's impact. Like numbers are super fun and numbers drive me hard. And I'm not here to say like numbers are wrong. I am highly numbers driven.   But like, what's the impact? That's gonna motivate me so much more. Like serving 500 dentists and then serving a thousand dentists. Like that to me is something of like a churn. I want to make 40 millionaires in my next lifetime. Like, how do I do that? Like the next decade of my life. So, like, I look at this, but also like, what is the life that I want? What's the trade-off? They can be hand in hand. So I really want you to look at like what is it? I told you about that office that I've got this 3.5, 35% overhead.   They don't want another practice. They literally want to live. They don't want another associate. They have great, it's all the systems are done. They don't want to deal with the headache of that. And I'm like, fantastic. You want fewer clinical days. I've got another doctor. He's like, Kiera, I want to go play a pickleball. I used to like have a lake house and all these other things. Like, I want it simple. I want to play pickleball. And I want to be able to hang out with my family. Your lighthouse of 10 years or your motivator, it can be a little fuzzy up there. It doesn't have to be perfect.   But getting that vision out of you is something I'm obsessed with because your practice should support your life and not the other way around. And once you get your identity outside of success, you're gonna realize like, and hey, guess what? If that practice goes away tomorrow, are you still a human? Are you still happy? If not, we've got to figure out because you need to be a full, complete person and not just a dentist producing. So I don't want you building a practice that you want to eventually escape. I want you building a practice.   Of what like I'm so excited and like I love that part of my life. and it doesn't mean we have to have every day great, but we want to love this part of it. So I'd really love for you to write down what success looks like for your life first and then your practice. Also be careful because I found like for me, I used to have a definition of success that was really hard to achieve. Tony Robbins said it really well. He says, We make it really easy to feel bad about ourselves and really hard to feel good. So like for success, you might be like,   Have to make a million every year and I have to drive this kind of car and I have to live at this type of house and I have to do this and this and this and this and this and this and this. Well, you're never gonna hit that. You made it so impossible for you to ever feel happy and successful. And I'm not here to say like lower your goals and dreams, but like, is a million really gonna make you happy? Is living in that house really gonna drive you for your happiness and your thing, or is that just something you feel like you should do because that's what people do? Just a question to ask. I want you to write down what success looks like for you, and I want you to make it easy for you to hit success.   It's not your production. Success for your life. What does that look like 90 years, 10 years from now? Whatever it is, but let's write that down and let's get that going. Okay. Number two, I want you to filter every opportunity now through this vision. So this hurts. This is hard. This is the discipline side. Not every opportunity is right or a good opportunity. This year, gosh, I don't have my bracelets on. I usually wear bracelets. this year I actually have a bracelet that says no.   To remind myself that saying no is equally as important as saying yes. Does that actually fit and fulfill the life I'm building? Or does it not? I have a sign pointing right over here. It says she designed a life she loved. And that's the ultimate goal is we need to be designing, creating, not managing, a life we are freaking obsessed with. So when I look at this, like buying another practice because it's available, if that doesn't fit into your life vision and what you want to do and less this, like I remember I had a doctor, he would set up.   Everything was done. We checked every box, every tea. I was like, all right, guys, we're wrapping up. Like, I don't know what else to consult you on. Like, truly what we set out to do, we've accomplished. Like, let's let's go. And now I we have another practice. And I was like, okay, so you have a college-age student. Like just imagine like your child is college age now, like they're out of the house, they're done, and you're about to bring on a screaming baby. Are you sure you want to buy this practice? And this doctor was like, Kiera, I do.   Like I really am excited for the grind and the drive and the like thrill of building something else. And they've done an amazing job. It's been three years. They took them from 500,000 to 2.5 million, like crushed it. I'm so proud of them. But it wasn't just because it became available. It fit. And so really checking to make sure, like, does this fit my life? Adding services in because everyone else does. Just because everyone does implants doesn't mean you need to. It's got to fit what you love. Hiring because you're busy instead of because it's strategic. Like, why am I hiring? Why are we doing these things? So   I want you to like start to filter through. You got your vision, you got your 10-year plan. Like, what does your life look like? Next step is like, does this move me towards my vision or away from it? And don't be careful where I can justify my life away. Like I can justify the shenanigans out of a lot of decisions. Will this improve that my quality of life? And will this make the practice stronger or just bigger? So those are some good filtering questions for you. And so, like I said, a lot of these, like when we choose to make decisions, like maybe we're gonna have a bigger leadership team or I'm gonna improve systems or   We're gonna go hunker down and like focus on profitability. My doctor who wants to like got rid of the lighthouse. We simplified so much. They're like, it's profit and like less stress is what I want. But I want you to know that just because you write this vision today does not mean it's permanent. It's like very much in pencil. You're allowed to rewrite this as much as you want because when you hit this, I want you to feel fulfilled and not empty at the end of it. So looking to see how is this helping me have more freedom, have more life. Like I said, I got a doctor who's working.   three days a week making a million and so happy. Like sometimes I look at him and I'm like, I am jealous and so happy of your life. I've got another doctor who works six days a week and they're producing like five, six, seven million. Success comes in all shapes and sizes. And this is actually why I love bringing our doctors together. there was one doctor and she told me she's like, Kiera, I really don't like coming to the mastermind because I compare. And I was like, gosh darn, like you missed it, honey. Like there is no space that you have to compare. It's like hey I'm gonna rip off their ideas that are great ideas.   And I'm also going to be so proud of who I am and so confident. And that to me is when you have a very solid vision. You can walk into a room and you can hear a lot of people, but you don't walk out there feeling any less because you're like, this is my life that I'm creating. I am designing a life I'm obsessed with. And when you can say that, it just makes your decision making easier. But I would say have that locked, have it up on a board to where you're constantly focused on that, saying no, not saying yes to every opportunity just because it's there, but truly this is gonna help your decision making process become so much easier.   If it doesn't fit the vision, it's a distraction. And it's a no. So just say no and move on. That way you are obsessed with creating your life rather than managing it. So I want you to think about your next major decision and ask, does it support the future I'm trying to build? And if it does, rock on. If it doesn't, rock on. We just want to make sure that we're driving you forward. And then my next step is like revisit this vision every year at a minimum. I like to do my like, gosh. Are you ready to meet Kiera for real? I have been using the passion planner. Thank you, Monica. I know you listen to the podcast. This is a shout out to   I use the passion planner. It literally at the end of every month has reflection questions for me. It says, What was a memorable part of this past month? Describe it. What were three lessons you learned this past month? Review your planner for the past month and assess your priorities. Are you happy with how you spent your time? If not, what steps can you take next month to adjust them? What did you accomplish this past month? What are you proud of? How are you different between this past month and the month before it? What or who are you especially grateful for this past month? Name three ways you can grow this upcoming month. What concrete actions can you take to work towards these?   From one to one to ten, how do you feel overall about this past month? And this is supposed to you can take those same questions. I write my vision out. And a lot of times I use that reflection to also ask myself, am I getting closer or further away from the vision I set for myself? Every quarter I revisit our company's vision and my personal vision. Am I closer or further away? And what do need to do to course correct? At the end of every single year, kid you not, I literally write it. It says 2026. Like, let me just pull it up right now so you guys know.   That I'm not there. So 2026, my word this year is happy. and it's outcomes over so 2026, the year of happy. Kiera's the happiest version of herself. She does things that light her up. Outcomes over activity say no. This is my dream of a life that I am creating daily. And I have my purpose, I have what my goals are, I have my things on there, I have my mission statement, I have my personal important goals this year.   And I have my consulting goals for our company of what I want. And then I break it down into quarters of what needs to happen. And I review this monthly and I review this quarterly and I review it at the end of the year. My goal is like, what do I need to do and how do I need to drive towards this? So really it's a like review it every year at a minimum. I have a goal board. I put mine out on Canvas so I don't forget about it. To me, if it's if I'm creating my life rather than just managing it, I better be actively working towards that rather than just stumbling and hoping I make it.   So I want you to like when I get doctors and teams aligned on their one year, their three year, their ten year, thank you, traction for that model. They're able to all row. I have a doctor that we're working with right now. They're about a five million dollar practice. And they like we started out, we like got all the leadership team aligned about almost two months ago now. And they've been running their meetings. And today we got on our call and they were like, Kiera, we actually are rowing like.   The leadership highlight was we're all having better communication. We're all focusing on the same thing and we're all headed in the same direction. And to me, that lights me up because that team's lit up. But what's even cooler is on the backside of it, that doctor has their personal life goals that they're working towards in conjunction with their business goals. This doctor has never been happier. And I think about that. To me, that is the freaking success of what we're aiming for. So I encourage you, like have an annual vision day or put it in there monthly of like review my vision and see.   Get a passion planner. I know it sounds so silly, but like this forces me not to forget. And to me, my vision is the most important thing. Secondary is executing on it and not just having it as a hope and a wish, but something I know I'm confident I will actually have. So for you, quick wrap up on this. I hope you loved it today, is divine divine your success beyond just production. Like, what is that? And make it easier to feel good and harder to feel bad. Filter our decisions through that vision. We do the same thing for teams. If it's not aligned with our vision, we don't do it now.   And then revisit that vision every single month, every single year, every single quarter, whatever's right for you. Because I really want you to know that the best life and the best practice are built on purpose, not by accident. You truly are intentional by this. Like I want you to be designing a life you love, not just managing one that's given to you. When your vision is crystal clear, your decisions become much easier. So if you feel like you're being pulled in a bajillion directions, like it might be that you're not doing too much, it might just be that we don't have a clear vision of where you need to go.   So let's define that up. Let's help you. This is something we do with all of our offices, your personal life and your business. And they need to be married together and they need to be serving you. Life and business on purpose. You're worth it. You deserve it. You went and took the risk of becoming a business owner. Now let's reap the rewards of that. Success has two sides of the coin, the hard side and the great side. Let's get more of that great side. So that way when you reach these successful milestones, you feel freaking lit up, fulfilled, and so happy that you are actually living your dream of a life and not just managing what's coming your way. So reach out.   Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Go live your best life. Do not make this just a hope and a wish. I used to write on my mirror when I was little. I said, don't just dream, do. And I encourage you to do the same. And with that, thank you guys so much for listening, and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

… wenn das Leben plötzlich schwierig wird?  Wir können noch so viele Podcasts hören, Bücher lesen oder Online-Programme absolvieren – entscheidend ist am Ende nicht nur, was wir wissen, sondern wie wir reagieren, wenn das Leben uns herausfordert. Schwierige Phasen gehören dazu. Enttäuschungen, Rückschläge, Krankheiten oder das Gefühl, immer wieder in denselben Mustern festzustecken.  Die entscheidende Frage ist: Was mache ich jetzt daraus? In dieser Folge erhältst Du einen konkreten Fahrplan, wie Du wieder aus schwierigen Phasen herausfinden und beginnen kannst, Dein Leben bewusst neu auszurichten. Ich spreche darüber, warum Dein Fokus so entscheidend dafür ist, wie Du eine Situation erlebst, welche Rolle Deine Emotionen und eingeprägten Muster spielen, warum alte Denk- und Verhaltensweisen Dich immer wieder in dieselben Situationen führen können, wie Du mit einer bewussten Morgenroutine neue Voraussetzungen für Deinen Tag schaffst, und warum die Frage „Wer möchte ich eigentlich sein?“ so viel verändern kann. Ich teile in dieser Folge auch zwei sehr persönliche Geschichten aus meinem eigenen Leben: meinen Weg aus Essstörungen und der Abhängigkeit von Zucker und meinen Umgang mit dem tief verankerten Gefühl, immer wieder abgelehnt zu werden. Nicht jede schwierige Situation lässt sich verhindern, aber wir können lernen, anders mit ihr umzugehen. Vielleicht ist deshalb nicht die wichtigste Frage: „Warum passiert mir das?“ Sondern: „Was darf ich daraus lernen, und wer möchte ich ab heute sein?“ Ich wünsche Dir viel Spaß beim Zuhören.

If you are prospecting at all, you have heard it. "Not interested." Ray tackles this common objection head on in this episode and makes a bold promise: if those two words shut you down, you are losing sales you should be making. Most people actually do want to solve their problems, whether that is losing weight, making more money, or feeling better, and Ray explains why "not interested" almost always means someone has not yet connected your solution to their actual problem, not that they do not want help. Ray walks through his four P method and shows you exactly how your response should change depending on where a prospect is in their position. He gives you three specific word tracks you can plug together the next time someone tells you no, tools he has personally used to close hundreds of sales from people who initially said they were not interested. This is not about being pushy or aggressive. Ray shows you how to become the helpful consultant instead of the salesperson everyone tries to avoid, and why "not interested" should be the start of a better conversation instead of the end of one.

Tony Robbins kicks things off with philanthropic flair before handing it to Airbnb co founder turned Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, who unveils America.gov, a single new front door meant to replace roughly 29,000 clunky federal websites. Expect a genuinely slick product demo, complete with a name change walkthrough powered by AI, a parade of frustrated citizen testimonial clips, and some surprisingly candid jokes about DMV lines and fax machines. Trump takes the stage to tie it all together, framing the launch as a restoration of the government's founding promise, before signing an executive order requiring every federal agency to integrate with the new platform. Along the way, he announces a rebrand of "artificial intelligence" to "Super Intelligence," takes a swing at "artificial news," and touches on everything from the Save America Act to Iran's nuclear ambitions. Part tech keynote, part political rally, with a surprisingly emotional case for saving Americans time.  

AI Won't Fix Your Chaos, It Will Amplify It with Jeff MacPherson   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   You just spent real money rolling out an AI tool because every advisor and every LinkedIn post said it would save you time. Instead, your team is more confused, your process feels messier, and you're starting to wonder if AI was oversold to you. It wasn't oversold. It was just handed to a business that hadn't been standardized yet, and nobody warned you that AI amplifies whatever is already running underneath it, good or bad.   In this episode, Rocky sits down with Jeff MacPherson, co-founder of Cloud37 and a three-time tech founder who built the first Instagram DM automation platform (processing over a billion messages) before a legal battle with Facebook ended that company. Jeff has spent the last several years helping coaches, consultants, and service businesses standardize a core process before automating it, so the technology scales what already works instead of accelerating what's broken.   In This Episode: Why AI accelerates chaos instead of fixing it when the underlying process was never standardized The difference between raising the ceiling (your best people) and raising the floor (everyone else executing at that level) Why roughly 95% of businesses have no real infrastructure for AI to plug into Why team adoption of a new system typically takes 18 to 24 months, and how to plan around that instead of fighting it Why collecting more data doesn't make your business more valuable once patterns and data are commoditized What actually keeps a client once AI can replicate almost any deliverable   Key Takeaways: Standardize your inputs, your process, and your outputs before you automate anything. The real bottleneck is usually waiting on people and process, not effort. Close that gap first. Plan for 18 to 24 months of adoption time, don't expect a fast flip. Data without a defined use case is a cost, not an asset. Retention comes from accountability, relationships, and community, not the deliverable itself.   About Jeff MacPherson: Jeff MacPherson is a three-time tech founder and co-founder of Cloud37. He built the first Instagram DM automation platform, processing more than 1 billion messages for clients including Tony Robbins, Nelk Boys, and Atlantic Records before Facebook shut it down and later released competing functionality. He later became a top creator on Crypto.com, launching an NFT project that generated $2.5 million in under 14 days with zero ad spend. Today, Jeff helps coaches, consultants, and service-based businesses transform their expertise into AI-powered Expert Studios that create scalable client experiences, recurring revenue, and lasting business value.   Links: Website: http://www.cloud37.ai Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeffmacp/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.macpherson/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmacai/    Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Aging Well With Pharmacist Ben Hair Loss Calls, the Triangle of Disease, and the Coffee Shop Interview Philosophy with Tom Chenault Pharmacist Ben Fuchs takes calls on hair loss, thyroid health and dental implants before welcoming longtime friend Tom Chenault, the network marketer and author of The Coffee Shop Interview, to discuss sobriety, personal development and building genuine relationships in business. Beyond Tangy Tangerine and a Big Preview Pharmacist Ben opens the hour thanking what he calls the Pharmacist Ben Singers for an AI-built intro song, then settles into his usual rhythm, joking that he talks so much on Zoom calls and podcasts that even he gets tired of his own voice. He gives out the call-in number, 888-627-6008, and tells listeners he has spent forty years learning to look at the body in a way he calls unique and effective. He pitches Beyond Tangy Tangerine, the Youngevity powder he has taken for thirty years, saying he could not look at himself in the mirror if he did not tell people about it. Ben explains why he loves network marketing as a business model, low-cost to enter at four or five hundred dollars, or thirty dollars for wholesale pricing, and previews the coming half hour with his friend Tom Chenault, plus a Sunday mental-health talk in Lone Tree that Tom is sponsoring. Joni and Joan Call In The first caller, Joni, phones in from Massachusetts after receiving one of Ben's emails, telling him she has listened for about three months and that her late mother, who died in 2018, loved the show for years before that. Touched, Ben invites her to email her mailing address to ben@formulationsciencellc.com for a gift. The next caller, Joan, asks about her own hair loss, and Ben explains that hair is governed by hormones working together: estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and insulin. He describes his root-not-fruit philosophy, insisting that health problems must be traced to their source rather than treated at the surface, and tells Joan to start a free food diary from pharmacistben.com to find foods that cause bloating. He walks her through dosing Beyond Tangy Tangerine by taste rather than by directions, sipping it in water throughout the day, and asks her to call back the following Monday to report her progress. Douglas, Berna and Donna Round Out the Calls Douglas calls next from Jacksonville, Florida, explaining he first heard of the show through Dr. Wallach on Coast to Coast AM and, at sixty-nine, is listening purely to learn rather than to ask a question. Berna calls from Fort Lauderdale, a Youngevity representative of twelve years, asking about her own thinning hair; Ben coins what he calls the Four Hormone Horsemen of Hair Loss, blood sugar, estrogen, testosterone and cortisol, and recommends FucoidZ, Ultimate EFAs, Ocean's Gold and Plant Derived Minerals while describing his triangle of disease, the digestive system and blood sugar system beneath the adrenal glands and thyroid. He previews Wednesday's guest, TMR shake formulator Stan Denniston. Finally Donna, calling from Orlando and originally from Poland, asks whether dental implants are wise at their age; Ben recommends Youngevity's Healthy Bone and Joint Pack before and after surgery and Ultimate Enzymes to reduce swelling, adding that root canals may carry some connection to heart health worth researching. Tom Chenault Joins to Talk Network Marketing With time running short on caller questions, Ben brings on his old friend Tom Chenault, calling him Youngevity's top networker and a gifted network marketer. Tom points to a photo of himself as a homeless man behind him, noting he will mark thirty-eight years of sobriety the next day, and credits network marketing with giving him what he calls the greatest life of anyone he knows. He warns that artificial intelligence threatens nearly every profession except genuine human relationships, and argues that success in the business requires falling in love with people, discovering what is missing in their lives, and helping solve it without a personal agenda. He plugs his book, The Coffee Shop Interview, urging listeners to buy it as a cheap PDF from thecoffeeshopinterview.com rather than pay eight dollars for it on Amazon, and Ben notes that Tom and his wife Denice have been married twenty-seven years. Belonging, Love, Trust and Safety Ben and Tom turn to personal development, with Tom comparing network marketing to Landmark Education, Tony Robbins seminars or Bible study, arguing the same growth applies with a compensation plan attached. He describes a breakthrough from the day before, after a lecture by what he calls a crazy priest made him confront the pain his divorce caused his young children years earlier. Tom distills success into four components he jokingly calls BLTS: belonging, love, trust and safety, saying people who feel all four from someone will do anything for and with them. Ben connects the idea to the nervous system, noting most people live in chronic fight-or-flight, and that offering someone a moment of calm is really an act of love. The two also mention studying Eric Worre's book Pro Code together daily at noon Mountain time on Facebook, treating it as a serious textbook for building the business. Chenault's Health Results and Weekend Plans Tom, now seventy-five, describes wearing a Hume band that reads his biological age as fifty-five against his chronological seventy-five, crediting his results to Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.5, the TMR shake with banana and almond milk, and cutting out fried food, gluten and sugar, while logging over twelve thousand steps and nine hours of sleep most days. He praises the patience of the Youngevity staff in San Diego and healthcare professionals like Dr. Laura Dennison and Dr. Singletary who support representatives. Tom previews the coming weekend, a Saturday Zoom on rheumatoid arthritis with Cheryl Morley, Steve and Michelle Wallach and Louise Adrian, and a Sunday event in South Denver where Ben will speak on the history of nutrition and Dr. Wallach's message. Ben thanks Tom warmly, calling him a beautiful human being, and closes the broadcast by thanking producer Douglas Newsom, who signs off praising the calls.

Learn more about Astraeus Wealth Management: http://astraeuswealth.com/partner-with-us Guy Adami and Liz Thomas discuss historic moves in U.S. Treasuries, with yields jumping 20 bps in two days, the 5-year above 5%, and the average Treasury yield above 5%, signaling a new inflationary regime and forcing investors to rethink allocations. Despite higher discount rates, stocks have held up due to a rotation back into mega-cap tech and AI-driven CapEx supporting GDP expectations, even as the bond market “story” looks ominous. Thomas outlines a “balance by extremes” approach—overweight AI/tech while holding 10-year Treasuries, gold, and commodities—and warns a prolonged war and $90+ oil could push the Fed into hikes that risk recession. They debate gold's outlook amid technical pressure and reduced central-bank buying, and review banks rolling over as a flatter curve squeezes net interest margins and weaker deal-flow expectations pressure investment banks. They also flag midterm-election volatility, with healthcare favored, and note Tony Robbins appeared on “The Important Part.” —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Over 12 years of interviewing more than 100 billionaires, I started asking every one of them the same question: if you lost everything tomorrow, the money, the brand, the team, and you had to start completely from scratch, what would you do first? Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, Drew Houston, Kendra Scott, people who built billion dollar companies from nothing. Here is what struck me: ten billionaires, ten different industries, ten completely different answers on the surface. But underneath every single one was the exact same thing, and it is probably not what you would expect. In this episode, I share all ten answers, from Kendra Scott turning $500 into a billion dollar empire to Jamie Kern Lima betting on the thing everyone saw as her weakness, and the one pattern that connects them all. Here's what you'll take away: • Why Richard Branson's instant answer was "find the right people," and how that is exactly how Virgin was built across a hundred industries • Drew Houston on why founders have to be learning machines, and why the gap between where you are and where you want to be is almost always a knowledge gap • Mark Cuban's counterintuitive advice to follow your effort, not your passion, and why the distinction matters • How Jamie Kern Lima wiped off her makeup on live TV and turned the thing she was hiding into the reason customers trusted her • Tony Robbins on why 80% of success is psychology and only 20% is mechanics • The single pattern underneath all ten answers, and the one question to ask yourself if you are stuck spinning your wheels on tactics If you are stuck on funnels, tools, and tactics right now, this episode will reframe where your real starting line actually is, because the answer is almost never another tool. It is always another person. If you're loving this solo series, I'd love to hear your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

We don't talk enough in this industry about how much it matters to be truly seen for our work…and how much it can subtly unravel us when we're not. This episode is my soulful, personal, and slightly vulnerable exploration of what I call Sacred Recognition: the deep human need to be seen by another person for what's good, profound, or brilliant inside of us. I share my own lifelong relationship with wanting recognition (including an embarrassing admission about Tony Robbins), some research on why we need it, and the very real dangers of relying on it too much — including something I call "the well that can never be filled." In this episode: What Sacred Recognition actually is, and why wanting it isn't needy or shallow The shame so many practitioners secretly carry around wanting (or not getting) appreciation from clients The research behind why humans need external recognition, not just self-validation "The well that can never be filled": the danger of over-relying on outside praise Why chasing vanity numbers on social media will never satisfy the deeper need How to build the muscle of recognizing yourself, and actually take in recognition when it comes Why your clients need sacred recognition from you too — and what that requires of you as a practitioner If you've ever wondered why client praise means so much to you, or felt a pang of shame about wanting it or not getting it, this episode is for you.

Tony Robbins explains why "a belief is a poor substitute for an experience," and how national service, missions, and seeing the world could help young people appreciate America and the opportunities of free enterprise. He also breaks down why taxing billionaires couldn't fund the government for even a year, and why real fulfillment comes from serving something bigger than yourself and becoming an owner instead of a consumer.

You already know where to start. What scares you is finding out you might not be good enough once you do.Lewis goes solo here on the fear that hides inside preparation. He read every page of a 500-page book before his first Tony Robbins interview and still walked in nervous, and that nervousness never actually went away.Then there was Kobe Bryant. A 5pm phone call the night before, an interview the next morning, 20 minutes, a publicist handing over a list of banned topics, other crews waiting in the hallway. With almost no prep time, it became one of the best conversations Lewis has ever recorded, because he stopped performing his homework and just stayed present and curious.He gets honest about launching The School of Greatness with an iPhone and no idea what he was doing, asking questions he thought were basic and dumb. Confidence came after the action, never before it. Perfectionism and procrastination wear the same costume, and self-trust only gets built by surviving the attempt.Ask yourself the uncomfortable question: are you still preparing because the work requires it, or because preparing feels safer than beginning? Whatever you have been circling for months, you will want to take one real step on it today.Make Money EasyThe School of GreatnessThe Greatness MindsetThe Mask of MasculinityIn this episode you will:Put ChatGPT to work on your most ambitious ideas and projects.Spot the moment preparation quietly turns into a sophisticated form of procrastinationMove through the terror of not feeling ready by understanding that confidence arrives after the action, not before itSteal the mindset that let Lewis turn a Kobe Bryant interview booked the night before into one of his best conversations everAnswer the question underneath your stalling: what are you actually waiting forBuild real self trust by proving to yourself that failure never gets the final wordMore SOG episodes we think you'll love!

He draws parallels with past global fears, urging business coaches to stay optimistic but grounded, preparing smartly for future disruptions. Finding Your Why Without Getting Lost The myth of "magically discovering your purpose" is debunked. Karl recommends a practical approach: revisit your three most painful life experiences and let their lessons shape your drive to help others. Ultimately, action trumps endless navel-gazing—purpose reveals itself through relentless forward movement. The Power of Presence True presence is described as the ability to make others feel uniquely seen and valued—think Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, or Michael Jordan. Karl illustrates how mastering presence turbocharges business relationships, slows down precious moments, and fosters deeper client connections. How to Build Unshakable Confidence Karl dishes out the "5 C's of Confidence": Core Values, Communication (especially self-talk), Courage, Competence, and Compassion. Confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself, practicing until you're truly skilled, and pushing through fear with deliberate action. Sales, Conversion, and the Art of Needing Nothing Whether presenting or closing, Karl insists that "you can't transfer what you don't own"—real belief and energy must be practiced and earned. Letting go of desperation in sales is key: needing nothing actually attracts everything. This energetic detachment, he notes, is both a science and an art. Zen & Wanting Less Ending on a note of wisdom, Karl shares a parable about two friends—one catering to the king for riches, the other living simply—and drives home the importance of a "want less" strategy. True freedom, fulfillment, and professional magnetism come from lowering your dependencies and dialing down your expectations. Notable Quotes "Magic's not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." – Karl Bryan "You don't become a business coach by accident—we're a beaten up bunch… your why usually lives in your three most painful moments." – Karl Bryan "Presence is the greatest gift you can give your family. It's not a vehicle, not a diamond ring—it's you in the here and now." – Karl Bryan "Needing nothing attracts everything. When you put all your energy on one outcome, the universe balances the seesaw." – Karl Bryan "You can't transfer something you don't own. Your level of belief is what makes the sale." – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Identify Your Why Through Painful Lessons: Reflect on your most challenging personal experiences. Use their emotional insights as fuel for your coaching journey and client focus. Master Presence: When coaching or networking, slow down—look people in the eye, listen deeply, and focus entirely on the person in front of you. Your energy will become magnetic. Keep Promises to Yourself: Confidence comes from integrity—don't break your own word, whether it's a commitment to outreach, personal habits, or bold business moves. Develop Detachment in Sales: Don't pin your hopes (or energy) on a single client or deal. Gen up your pipeline and approach each opportunity without neediness. This mindset attracts abundance. Practice Relentlessly: Skill is built through repetition and reflection. Don't just practice—practice to improve. Continually raise your own belief in the value you deliver. Adopt a "Want Less" Mentality: List your wants, then write down why you don't truly need them. Lowered expectations and needs equal greater professional and personal power.

What if the difference between a hit song and a forgotten one has almost nothing to do with talent? My guest, Benjamin Groff, has spent his career finding out. He's a music publisher who's signed artists like Ryan Tedder, Tiësto, Kelly Clarkson, and Kid Cudi, built Kobalt's first U.S. office from the ground up, and now runs his own boutique publishing company, Brill Building — which just landed its first Billboard Hot 100 #1 with Beyoncé's "Break My Soul." Back in 2016, Benjamin and I had a conversation on a bus tour of NASA about whether AI would ever replace musicians. He was certain it wouldn't. By the time we got off that bus, he wasn't so sure. Nearly a decade later, he's now a private investor in the AI music platform Suno — and still finding tomorrow's biggest stars in the noise. In this Get Yourself Optimized episode, Benjamin breaks down: ✅ How he still finds emerging artists before anyone else notices them ✅ Why data and virality metrics can't replace real taste and curation ✅ What 100+ years of "the new technology will ruin everything" panics — player pianos, drum machines, Napster, now AI — actually teach us ✅ Why 85% of success comes down to identity and mindset, not raw skill ✅ The Tony Robbins framework for why only "outstanding" work gets rewarded anymore If you've ever wondered whether AI is coming for your creative career, this conversation will change how you think about it.

"The quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask." — Nicky Billou Most of us never deliberately choose the questions we ask ourselves. We drift into worry, distraction, and scarcity — not because we're undisciplined, but because we never decided what to ask instead. Drawing on Tony Robbins' Personal Power 2 course, I walk through a practice I've been using to take control of where my brain goes each day: designing my questions on purpose, before the day designs them for me. In this short episode, I share the full list I've developed — fifteen questions covering client enrollment, peak state, relationships, screen time, joy, gratitude, and pride — and I answer each one live, in real time. The exercise takes five minutes. The shift in energy is immediate. And the principle behind it is straightforward: your brain moves in the direction of the questions you ask it. Choose better questions, and your focus — and your life — follows. Come up with your own list. Try it tomorrow morning. See what happens.

https://youtu.be/lrnG7ydEErk Saul Marquez, Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, helps medtech and healthtech companies get closer to revenue through healthcare-focused marketing strategy and execution. Driven by a desire to be a source of love and inspiration, Saul supports healthcare innovators whose work helps people live healthier, longer lives. He believes companies improving healthcare deserve to succeed and should not have to navigate growth alone. In this conversation, Saul shares his Leverage the 3 Forms of Marketing Framework—Owned (podcast, books, content), Earned (Stages, Testimonials), and Paid (Drive Traffic to What Converts). He explains why companies need a clear strategy and strong owned assets before pursuing earned exposure, and why paid marketing should amplify a funnel that already converts. Saul also discusses growing through primary research, thought leadership, podcasting, and conferences rather than relying on cold outreach. He shares why marketing metrics must connect to pipeline and revenue, and how sales blockers, opportunities, and needs can guide the creation of campaigns and sales enablement assets. —   Get Closer to Revenue with Saul Marquez Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with The Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Saul Marquez, the Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, a healthcare-exclusive marketing strategy and full-service marketing execution firm that helps medtech and healthtech companies accelerate their growth. Saul, welcome to the show.  Steve, such a pleasure to be here with you and your listeners. Thank you for the opportunity.  Well, I really have to get my A-game today because I rarely find a podcaster who’s recorded more episodes than I have. You beat that by a multiple of five or six. So definitely, I have to be on my best performance. But my first question is always the same, at least recently. What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business?  My personal Why. I did some thinking. This was probably about 20 years ago. I did this program. I’ve always been very reflective, and I’m a big journaler. I love to write my thoughts. And I had the chance to, about 20 years ago, do a program called Date With Destiny. It’s a Tony Robbins program. It was a game changer for me. Five days with people that want to just crush it in life—personal, professional, financial, right? Like, they just want to do the best.  And so I had these five days to myself to really look inside, journal, question. And during that session, he has what he calls your primary question. You sort of look inside and you ask and you think about, like, what are those words, the stories that you tell yourself? And the primary question is that question that drives your life. And I was able to uncover that my primary question is, “I want to be a source of love and inspiration to myself and others.” And so I’m driven by love. I’m driven by inspiration. And so that’s my primary question and my primary Why. And then, when you think about it professionally, Steve, I’m very driven by mission.  So because of that, I started my career in medical devices around the same time that I actually did the seminar. And I’m driven by being able to help people live better lives and increase health span, not just lifespan. And that’s why the work that we do focuses around leaders innovating in the healthcare space. So very driven by those things.  But these are very noble ideas. And I mean, who wouldn’t want to live better, live longer? That’s an obvious need from everyone, really. And it’s a great thing if you can create an impact in that realm, that then you are creating something very valuable.  You are, Steve. And the data point here that I’ll share to pair the purposefulness, the data point, because we’re very data-driven as a business, and I’m a data geek, is that healthcare is essentially 18% of U.S. GDP, which represents $4.8 trillion annually. It’s larger than the German economy, and that’s just the U.S. alone. So whenever anybody says, “Oh, your niche is healthcare,” I say, “Well, I mean, my economy that I’m focused on is healthcare.” It’s huge.  Of course. Yeah.  Yeah.  Yeah. And probably, I mean, we can get into whether that’s not an overinflated number. Is it really that proportionate value? But if you think about it, the biggest resource is humans, then spending 18% of GDP on the biggest resource is not much.  It definitely isn’t. And then if you sort of zoom out and you take a look at globally, GDP focused on healthcare, it’s definitely higher than most first-world countries. And the outcomes aren’t commensurate to the investment. So the opportunity to improve access, affordability, better outcomes is a huge opportunity. And I'm in awe, and I have major respect for all the entrepreneurs and business leaders in this space that are looking to improve those metrics for us in healthcare, and that's why we love to stand behind them.Share on X  The stats are real. 50% of businesses fail within five years, and something above 80% fail within 10 years. And we believe at Outcomes Rocket that if you’re in the business of helping people live healthier, longer lives, you deserve to succeed, and we want to be behind you. And so that’s why we do what we do. The people doing the work, it’s hard, and they can’t do it alone.  Yeah. Love it. Just as an aside, whatever happened to this initiative of Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos that they announced some years ago that they would reform the—  Yeah.  Healthcare?  Haven?  Yeah. I don’t know what it was called.  Yeah, Haven. So yeah, it was Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and JPMorgan. And it didn’t work. And it shows you that, like, even when the best of the best try to go do something about it, it doesn’t work. It’s hard. It’s hard work. Yeah. It’s hard work.  I bet it’s very hard. So hopefully AI will fix it. Let’s hope. What do you think about that?  That’s a great one, man. Like, AI definitely is not fixing it. However, properly deployed AI in solutions such as ambient scribing that helps physicians spend time with patients and no longer have to do what they call pajama time. Pajama time is the time that they spend at home after hours logging things into the medical record. Like, if you’re able to give a physician time back from not having to do that, and actually time back to look at you in the eyes when you’re in the waiting room, that’s awesome use of AI.  The use of AI in the elimination of waste is also beautiful. So I think as a tool, for sure, there’s huge promise in the use of AI for healthcare. Hell, in robotics, man. Like, I was just at a conference, Steve. I was in Miami. Where do you live, by the way?  I'm in Virginia.  Oh, you’re in Virginia? Cool. I’m in San Diego, where I’m literally at the SRS, so that’s the Society of Robotic Surgery. And I’m in the room, and there was a surgeon in Virginia, actually, and a surgeon in California, and the robots were operating on. It wasn’t a person. It was actually just like a simulation, but it was like a cadaver type of thing. And with AI, spatial AI, and the use of technology, these surgeons are operating in two different states on one person.  Remotely?  Yeah, remotely, and it’s working great through robotics. So all of this stuff, man, is coming together. Yesterday, I had a conversation with an entrepreneur in the materials and 3D printing space. She’s been in it for years, and just chatting with her was inspiring because what they could do now as far as custom-built plates for craniomaxillofacial or foot and ankle, they could literally print this stuff overnight on sheets, whereas it used to take months.  Like, we’re moving fast, and the innovations that are available. She called it patient matching, like the N of one. I mean, what’s possible today for a fraction of the cost than it used to be back then is just inspiring. And it’s happening right before us. So it’s a really great, great time to be alive.  And to stay alive.  And to stay alive. Exactly. Well said, my friend. Well said. Hey, you have to tell me about Summit OS and Fable, man. Like, I love what you have back there.  Well, I’ll tell you all about Summit OS on your podcast, but on this podcast, we talk about you. That’s fair. That’s fair.  I like that. I like that.  So let’s talk about frameworks because this podcast is a podcast of frameworks.  I love frameworks.  And I saw that you have the Discover, Define, Deliver, or something like that. But I’m looking for something more unique. Yeah. So something that maybe that’s more insightful or more unique or more you that you could share with the audience, which still can be explained in four to five steps or elements maximum to which give people an insight as to how to do things better.  Absolutely. So I think you and I are brothers from another mother, Steve, because I just love frameworks as well. So the 3D approach is easy, as you mentioned, right? But it is our approach and how we reproducibly bring about a program from start to finish for a client: Discover, Define, Deliver.  Underneath that, that is the hood to another framework, which when you start to deliver, the framework is essentially a four-part framework that starts with strategy, then it’s owned, earned, and paid, okay? And so those are the types of marketing that you could do. And you mentioned at the beginning we’re a marketing strategy and full-service execution agency, which essentially means we’re a revenue partner, we’re a commercialization partner.  So when you go to market with your value and your value proposition, it all starts with strategy. Strategy is so key. And one of the key quotes that we always share, Steve, is that, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” And I have to say, Steve, and everybody with us, in marketing, there are so many tactics. Too many. And guess what?  Today, with AI, there are so many tactics. I was just on a podcast a couple days ago where I made this connection. I hadn’t made the connection yet, but you have to have an AI strategy. If you don’t have an AI strategy, you become part of somebody else’s plan, and even worse, you become so fragmented, and it’s reflecting in your P&L. Like, you not having an AI strategy is showing up in your P&L in a big way. But anyway, back to the marketing thing and the framework. So start with the strategy.  Inside of your strategy are some very basic things, such as your personas, your ideal client personas, which is like firmographic, kind of number of employees, revenue, et cetera.Share on X Your core messaging. Your brand house essentially is your vision, your differentiation, and then your performance promise. It’s essentially like three pillars. That’s your strategy and your positioning, right? Then when you go to owned, earned, paid—and by the way, they’re in this order for a reason. It’s like algorithmic.  I liken it to the Rubik’s Cube. I was watching a YouTube video with my nine-year-old, and he was like, “Hey, Dad, figure out how to solve this.” I brought him a Rubik’s Cube from a conference. I watched this four-part video. The guy’s name is Cubastic. Have you ever watched it, Steve?  No.  No? Okay. Cubastic, literally, he’s a genius. Like, in four 10-minute videos, walks you through how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. And I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than two minutes and 30 seconds reproducibly now. It’s actually one of my conference tricks now, like whenever I go to a booth. And so I’m sitting there thinking, like, yes, no matter what, wherever the pieces are on the cube, if you use this algorithm, it's a four-part framework it gets you to the same end.Share on X  So I’m thinking, that’s exactly what we do. So the strategy, then owned, earned, paid, in that order. So owned is everything that’s on your website, what you put out on social. If you have a podcast like yours, Steve, this is owned. You own this. It’s the narrative that you own. Newsletters. Then you have earned. Why does this order matter? Well, if you try to do earned media, like if you hire a PR agency to do earned media, get you media attention, and you don’t have your strategy or your story straight, you’re going to confuse the market even more.  So that’s why earned is after owned. And with earned, it’s everything that you get. There’s a gentleman that put it really great. I have to get his name, but I got this from him. OPS, he calls it Other People’s Stages. And there’s digital and there’s physical stages. I’m on your digital stage. You’ve built this thing, and you’ve invited me, and I’m grateful for it. And by the way, I’m going to have you on mine. I want to learn about Summit OS, and I want to learn about your frameworks, and I want our audience to also learn about those.  So there’s an asset here, and we’re doing an exchange, which is beautiful, and we’re spreading ideas that make a difference. So in earned, you’re getting opportunities like on OPS, and those could also be written. So you get a byline article on a publication, right? Or you get invited to speak at a conference. That’s earned. And then there’s paid. And people ask me the question, like, “Hey, I’ve got these paid campaigns going on.” And I’m like, “Dude, you have nothing on your website that supports a narrative. Nobody is talking about you. Why would you even pay for anything?” I don’t care what it is.  Unless you got all those other things right, paid is there, like paid conferences, to get more people that’ll read the brochures that are owned, that’ll see the testimonials that are earned, that’ll convert to opportunities to check out your demo or sit with you to consider what you’re doing as a business to solve problems. And so the paid is essentially a way to increase traffic to an existing funnel that converts.  So essentially, this framework of strategy, owned, earned, paid is the framework of marketing that, if done right algorithmically, you will get results.Share on X And the result is the acceleration of someone, a business or a person, that goes from the awareness to consideration to decision funnel, which is essentially the business funnel for anyone, right? You accelerate the speed at which somebody learns about you and the problems you solve, considers you as a solution, and then makes a decision to work with you. So you’re not really selling a quick fix here, are you?  It’s not a quick fix. There are no quick fixes. You have to commit to the process and get it done.  Yeah, I like it. I mean, that makes complete sense. You have to have some assets that you start with that you own. I like the podcast. Okay, books can be like that. Yeah. Website, of course. Your frameworks are your asset, basically. And then you have to earn the right to actually share what you know. I love it. People validate, go through the stages, and get the testimonials, so you have to deliver. You have to prove that those assets are actually working, right?  Yes.  And then when you have a funnel, you already have a product that has proven itself, then it’s all about increasing the throughput. So paid is what? That’s right.  There is an amplifier.  That’s it. That’s it. Yeah. Yep. Yep.  It makes complete sense. It’s a very good framework. I’ve never thought about it this way, but it makes complete sense to me.  And it’s algorithmic. No matter where the pieces in the cube are, if you run it, you’re always going to end up with the same color on each side. It just works.  Yeah. So if you don’t have your assets, you haven’t earned your right, then you are just wasting your money on paid. Yeah.  Yeah. You’re wasting it. You are. Now, there’s a use case for paid to accelerate learnings. If you’re working on copy that you just need feedback on, there’s a use case to get mass targeted, like your ideal client looking at and interacting with it to understand how to better convert. That’s a use case, right? You’re after conversion optimization data. That’s fine, right? That’s fine. You could use paid to fine-tune conclusions as well.  Can you use paid for market research? Oh, yeah, for sure.  What you should be selling?  Yeah. You could definitely use paid for market research, for sure, if you have an end in mind. If your end in mind is to get more target, and then you just have to decide, right? Like, what payment model should you deploy? Should you put an ad out, or should you work with a partner that has access to a pool of qualified survey respondents? Would it be more efficient to just go through them, right? So it’s just a matter of what the end goal is.  That makes sense. So let me ask you a question, Saul. What drives growth in your business?  So a couple things. We do thought leadership, and so the thought leadership that we do is on healthcare marketing.Share on X And by the way, even though we focus on healthcare marketing, there’s fundamentals there that can apply to any business. So if you’re listening to this podcast and thinking, “I’m not healthcare,” there’s still fundamentals in the research that we do and the data that we mine that can help you.  So thought leadership based off primary research. So every quarter, we do two new reports. We conduct surveys focused on marketing strategies and tactics. Some of the latest ones we’ve done—we did one on podcasting, which is very interesting. We released this one about three weeks ago. This one’s gotten crazy media hits. Like, we’ve gotten over 30 media hits on this one.  PPC covered us, because it’s sexy still. Podcasts are sexy. But we had a lot of findings, and I’ll share the link with you. We don’t charge for our research. It’s free. We offer it to people so that they could do better marketing. Now, the thing that was most intriguing about that report for me, out of a lot of things, was that people are measuring the wrong thing as it relates to podcast marketing. You’ll see the results, but I remember these numbers. 57% are measuring engagement and downloads.  And that’s the wrong thing to measure. I’m going to segue to that later. The right thing to measure if you're a business is pipeline and revenue, not engagements and downloads.Share on X And the quote that I did on an article that I did recently is, “Downloads are vanity. Contacts and contracts are sanity.” Okay? You have to measure the right things. If you’re not a media company selling ads, who cares about downloads? So anyway, podcasts. We did a GTM report. We did one on public relations.  The other one that got a lot of really good traction earlier this year was one on chatbots. We analyzed over 5,700 citations to figure out what exactly are chatbots looking for. And we took a look at those 5,700 citations. It was a breakdown of Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. And so we said, why and what do these value? It changed the way that we actually post content on our site and our clients’ sites. So that’s a really valuable report that I would literally just take from our site, download into Claude, and say, “Based off of this report from Outcomes Rocket, how should I change up my copy and how I lay out my posts?” Because that’s going to help you get more AI visibility.  We actually have been running those plays on clients, and our numbers on ChatGPT and Claude Search and Gemini Search have gone up for them, right? It’s working. So we do this thought leadership stuff because we don’t like to experiment with our clients’ money. We like to actually do stuff that works and actually figure things out. So that’s thought leadership. And then the podcast is another thing that we do. So I love podcasting, Steve, as we were talking about before we hit record. I get a chance to connect with awesome people. Like, I keep thinking about Summit OS.  I’m going to learn about it on my podcast. I guess I can’t learn it on this one, but I get to meet people like you. We get to connect with listeners, like the ones—like, you’re listening to this because you want to be better. You want to improve your business, and it’s a chance for me to connect with you right now. And I’m going to invite you to reach out to me if something that I said resonates with you, because that’s why we do this. So podcasts are one of our great funnels, Steve. We do podcasting, and we meet a lot of great friends and collaborators and partners and clients through podcasting. And also conferences. So conferences are another amplifier for us. So I would say thought leadership, research, podcasting, and conferences are the best ways for us to grow our business. That's how we do it.Share on X  That’s very insightful. What I’m not hearing here is cold calling, cold emailing, spamming people. You’re not doing any of that. What I’m hearing here is you are giving people great content. You’re teaching people, and you’re connecting with people.  Yes.  Because podcasts, I agree with you, it’s all about connecting with people at a deeper level around interesting topics. Conferences are the same thing. You create relationships, and then you can follow up with the people who you like at the conference and turn them into partners or clients or whatever.  Yeah.  I love it. Love that.  And Steve, you’re a really insightful guy. I’m glad you went to that point. And so I was sitting there literally probably like five months ago, and I was having a conversation with a client of ours, and she was like, “Man, these cold emails that we’re doing,” because they wanted to do them, “I mean, we’re seeing clicks, and we’re seeing opens, but we’re seeing no replies and no meetings booked.” And I said, “Because the way we have to do it is through content.” Yeah. You have to offer.  If you go fishing and your hook has no bait on it, you’re not going to catch any fish, unless a dumb fish runs into your hook. You don’t want that fish anyway, right? That’s what you’re going to catch. And so I said, because I am kind of a data geek, as I shared with you, I said, “I want to own this frustration that you have right now. And here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to hire four lead gen agencies, and I’m going to put one on your account, I’m going to put two on our company, and I’m going to…” I had another client that I was having this conversation with. “I’m going to put another one on their account.” And so I paid for this research project.  I said, “I’m going to learn. I’m either going to learn how to do cold email really damn good because I’ve been not doing well at it.” Guess what? Secret. Nobody’s freaking doing good at it, okay? So, like, three months later, they failed miserably. Nobody was doing anything. So then I said, “Okay, let’s try this. Don’t ask for an appointment. I want you to, on this mass cold email project, I want to change the copy, and I want to put, ‘I want to invite you to my podcast.'” These are the same people that were not replying. Steve, I kid you not, man. Like, within one week, we had 13 people in line that want to talk to them. They’re thrilled. So my takeaway was, cool.  You know what? I’ve been playing too small in sort of these podcast outreaches. I mean, look, at the end of the day, it’s working, but I said, “I’m going to use this mass email failure and turn it into a success by inviting even more people.” So now what we’re doing is actually, with these pools of people that are interested, taking a look at webinars too, so one to few. One to one, one to few, so that we could serve the many.  And so from the ashes of those failures, not only did I feel better about myself, like, dude, nobody is winning at cold email marketing. Nobody. But if you’re thoughtful about it in the way that you do it and what you offer, it’s got to be content-forward. But anyway, I wanted to pick up on your insight there and share our experiment that we ran.  I think also that you and I have been doing podcasting a long time. It’s actually now a huge thing. When I started it, for the first five years, I had no idea what I was doing, why I was doing it. I enjoyed it.  Yeah.  But it wasn’t really a thing. And then now I realize that a lot of people are now starting to do podcasting, but when you have a brand-new podcast, people are going to be much more circumspect to engage with you because they assume it may just be a lead gen engine. But when you have an established podcast with a lot of episodes, then you are a legit media, and then they will engage.  So anyway, that’s an aside. So let me ask you this, Saul, because you’re really a systems thinker, and I like that. What is one thing that you are trying to actively figure out in your business right now?  Right now, the thing that I’m actively working to figure out is really scalability and processes around delivery. So we have a very talented team. We’re small but mighty. There’s 25 people on my team, right? What we do is very bespoke, and our clients really do love how we execute and get results for them. What I’m working on is to master our delivery model so that we are more in line with our clients’ business growth. A few of the things that we’re doing to that end is getting closer to revenue.  What I mean by that is, I don’t know about you, Steve, but my career was mostly in sales in medtech before starting the agency three years ago full-time. And I realized that whenever there was a crunch in a business, some of the first positions to go were marketing. But nobody ever got rid of salespeople. So I started having this conversation with my team about we have to get closer to revenue, right? Get closer to the revenue conversations, have clarity around the revenue conversations. Because if you're close to revenue and you're helping drive revenue, you become more indispensable.Share on X  We might get T-shirts. I was kidding around that our theme is indispensable, and we might get T-shirts that say “Indispensable.” But that’s what we’re working on right now, is solidifying and optimizing our delivery so that we are more indispensable and we can continue growing at the pace that we’ve been growing to the next goals in our year and then our five-year and our 10-year plan.  So essentially, are you saying that getting closer to revenue means getting more directly impacting revenue, more directly making sure that the client is increasing revenue? Because marketing, you can increase marketing, but if it doesn’t have an impact, then it’s going to go away. So is this what you mean?  Exactly.  Yeah.  Because again, back to the whole thing, the quote, right? Like, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” In marketing, it’s so easy to report on metrics. But if your metrics are not tied to revenue, good luck.  Yeah. And there are some people who are doing great marketing, but they are doing very poorly in converting their leads, and therefore they’re wasting the marketing, and they might fire the marketing agency because you don’t have any clients. But they actually are downstream screwing things up. And if you can help them there, then your marketing is going to be much more resilient.  Yeah. And we’re getting awesome feedback from our clients. They love this. They’re telling us what they need. Right now, where we’re at, it’s three. So we do our weekly reporting, right, to our clients on kind of like what we’re doing on campaigns and research projects and execution. And so in our weekly report-out, we are finalizing sort of these three slides that are essentially sales. Like, the first slide is essentially the top five opportunities for the month and where they’re at. Sales blockers, sales opportunities, and then big needs, like sales needs.  So when the sales call happens, we get a transcript from that call, and the marketer asks the questions about, “Hey, what’s holding you back? What could help you move these deals faster?” We get that transcript, and then we create sales enablement assets or landing pages or campaigns that help move those deals forward. And that’s been awesome. Like, being able to do that, that’s being close to revenue, and it’s something that we’re adapting and being responsive to client needs, and that’s sort of where it’s taken us recently.  Yeah, I love it. Blockers, opportunities, and needs. So how are needs different from resolving the blockers and capitalizing the opportunity? A lot of times there’s overlap there on both of those. Yeah. The overlap is that a blocker could pair with a need that we could solve. But sometimes a blocker could be out of our control. Like, hey, we were going to sell them our microscope, but the MRI machine broke, and now they need to spend money on the MRI machine. Sh*t. There’s nothing we could do. Like, we’re pushing this deal to next quarter. Now, you could try to do stuff, creative financing or stuff like that, and we could have those conversations, but there’s some things that are out of our control.  I wonder if it’s needs or wants. Because I was thinking that maybe the needs are what the client already articulated as something that they realize that they need in order to grow revenue, whereas the blockers and opportunities will give you ideas how you can grow it in ways that they have not thought about.  Yeah.  And therefore, maybe instead of needs, it is the wants, and the needs are the ones that you add based on the blockers and opportunities. I don’t know.  I like that. I like it. No, no, I like it. I like it. And is the idea that, like, wants is a little more creative and open?  No, wants is something that they already articulated themselves that they want to do because they realize that they need that. But they need to do other stuff that they haven’t realized, and that’s what you come up with based on the blockers and the opportunities.  Correct. Correct.  It’s the unidentified wants basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I like that. I’m going to give some thought to that, Steve.  Yeah.  I like the idea.  Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity to give you a framework, or a framework. I love it, man. I love it. I had to pull it out of you. I had to pull it out of you. Actually, I didn’t. I couldn’t do it. You gave it to me, right? No, no. When the student is ready, the teacher comes, right?  There you go. Well, in that case, the teacher was inspired by the student, but—  I love it.  Whatever.  I love it.  So you said it’s medtech and healthtech companies and payers also that you target? Medtech and healthtech. And the payers, we actually—our clients sell to payers. So we do have a payer podcast where we interview payers and vendors in the payer market. But yeah, our main clients are health technology. So think Software as a Service, AI companies in healthcare, and then medical technologies like medical devices, implantables, wearables, that kind of thing, FDA-approved devices and technologies. Software as a medical device, that’s the medtech space.  Yeah. Love it. So these are the ideal ones. So if these people are listening to this podcast or they are seeing you on social media, you’re promoting this podcast together, where should they go? What do you want them to check out? How can they connect with you?  Yeah. Thank you, Steve. If you’re in the healthcare space and you want to raise your marketing game, increase your revenue, increase awareness of what your company’s doing, we’d love to be a part of it, whether it be you consuming our content. We don’t expect anything from you. Our content is all on outcomesrocket.com. Or you could find me on LinkedIn.

At Date with Destiny 2024, Kaleem stood up in front of thousands of people for a live intervention with Tony Robbins, facing a question that could change the rest of his life: Should he stay in his marriage or leave? But when Tony guided him through an exercise that brought him back to the moments that made him fall in love with his wife, something shifted. What followed was a raw, deeply personal conversation about love, presence, trust, intimacy, and taking responsibility for the ways we contribute to disconnection in our relationships. Tony challenges Kaleem to stop waiting for his relationship to change and instead ask a harder question: What can I change in myself? Then Tony asks him to do something even harder: call his wife. Right there, in front of thousands of people. Listen to the full intervention and hear what happens next — a powerful reminder that love isn't only something we feel. It's something we choose, communicate, and consistently show through our actions. What would you be willing to change in yourself to experience more love in your relationship?

Tony Robbins says the old investor playbook is changing.  For decades, many investors were told to build wealth through public stocks and bonds. But Tony believes some of the biggest opportunities may sit outside the traditional market, in private equity, private credit, sports ownership, and other alternative investments that were once harder for individual investors to access. On this episode of The Important Part, Tony joins Liz Thomas alongside Christopher Zook, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of CAZ Investments, for a conversation about what it means to become an owner and why access to private markets is changing. Tony and Christopher also share their perspectives on what investors need to understand before stepping into a less familiar part of the market. This is not a conversation about chasing the next hot trade. Liz presses Tony and Christopher on the real tradeoffs behind alternative investments, including limited liquidity, higher fees, lockups, and why access does not automatically mean an investment belongs in every portfolio. Tony and Christopher also discuss The Holy Grail of Investing, their book about alternative investments and private-market access, and why they updated it now as AI, energy, defense, and space reshape the investment landscape. The Important Part: Investing with Liz Thomas is a video podcast covering investing, markets, economic trends, portfolio strategy, and the biggest stories shaping investors today.   About SoFi®: A finance company that could help you get ahead.

Dr. Guy Lewis has spent 42 years building one of the country's premier cosmetic dental practices — 8,000 square feet and 12 glass operatories overlooking the forest in The Woodlands, Texas. But he started by getting fired three months into his first job during the 1984 Houston oil recession. In this Mentor of the Month conversation with Stuart and Steve Anderson, Guy traces the path from a $30,000 startup loan he paid off in two months, to becoming one of the youngest accredited members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, to walking away from a clinic where "everything needed a crown." Along the way he shares what Tony Robbins told him that led to hiring his son as COO, why their attempt at a DSO didn't survive their own quality standards, how he's built 20-year staff tenure through culture rather than pressure, and how the credentials that create credibility have shifted from magazine features to social media influence. He closes with the Give Back a Smile patient he rebuilt in the '90s — and unknowingly sat behind at the Super Bowl years later, after her new smile helped make her Time Warner Cable's top salesperson in the country. A candid look at integrity, excellence, and building something that lasts.

Patrick Bet-David sits down with Tony Robbins to discuss the forces reshaping the next decade. Robbins breaks down AI, robotics, jobs, investing, debt, and economic risk, while sharing lessons on fear, resilience, relationships, and building a fulfilling life during a period of historic global change.

Cold messaging gets a bad reputation, especially from influencers who tell you it is gross and beneath them. But here is the truth Ray shares in this episode: most of us do not have the level of influence to just sit back and wait for leads to show up. In this episode Ray teaches exactly how to start conversations with strangers online in a way that actually gets responses, and he tells the story of Christina Danielle, a student who refused to do videos or content and instead became the number one recruiter in her entire company for five years straight using nothing but cold messaging. Ray breaks down the biggest mistake people make when reaching out to strangers, trying to build rapport too soon, and gives you the two specific times when rapport actually belongs in the conversation. He walks through exactly what a prospect is thinking when a stranger messages them, and how answering those unspoken questions fast is what gets you a reply. Ray also shares a real story from a coaching call the night before this episode, where a couple nervous about reaching out to med spas finally hit send on their first message and are already on track to hit a new rank. Whether it is social media or email, this episode gives you the mindset and the exact approach to finally start those conversations with confidence.

In this solo episode, Karl Bryan covers practical strategies and mindset shifts for business coaches looking to deepen client results, scale their practices, and increase personal well-being. With Road Dog temporarily away, Karl dives deeply into money mindset, the power of presence, habits for success, and how to help both clients and coaches break people-pleasing cycles—all delivered with actionable steps and real-world examples. Key Topics Covered Healthy Habits for Longevity and High Performance Karl shares his personal experience with injury recovery and how investing in tools like a massage gun has dramatically improved his well-being and productivity. He discusses the importance of self-care, stretching, walking, and active recovery for both coaches and their clients. Understanding Debt and Inflation Like the Pros Breaking down Robert Kiyosaki's much-publicized debt, Karl offers a balanced view on leveraging debt, asset ownership, and how inflation and the devaluation of money can work in your favor. Real-world examples and analogies (think pro athlete contracts) make this a must-listen for money-savvy coaches. The Power of Focus and the Reticular Activating System Drawing from neuroscience and Tony Robbins, Karl explains how what you focus on literally shapes your reality and success. He illustrates how business owners can prime their minds to spot opportunities vs. problems and develop a powerful, optimistic self-concept. Coaching People-Pleasers: Addressing the Real Blocks Karl explores the roots and real-life challenges of people-pleasing, detailing why over-givers struggle to close sales and how helping clients sit with tension and embrace disappointment is key to growth and high achievement. Habits and Routines That Actually Move the Needle From delayed gratification to radical personal responsibility and the power of massive action, Karl lays out the non-negotiable mindsets and habits top performers embody. He shares practical frameworks (like "time to think" and daily presence drills) to help coaches—and their clients—accomplish more. How to Guarantee Entrepreneurial Success in 30 Seconds Karl's "Time To Think" (TTT) framework is highlighted as a near-guaranteed route to clearer decisions, better outcomes, and rapid business breakthroughs by carving out daily, intense, distraction-free thinking time. Presence as a Superpower Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, and Michael Jordan are given as models for practicing supreme presence—the ability to make someone feel like the most important person in the room—and how this habit can radically transform business relationships. Notable Quotes "The solution to inflation is two words: own assets." "Focus on problems, you'll find more. Focus on opportunities, guess what? More will pop up." "People pleasers are terrible closers because they hate to let people sit with tension." "You are your emotional comfort zone… like the temperature in a room, you come back to it." "Presence is a superpower. When you talk to someone, look into their eyes and soul—make them feel like the only person in the room." "Delayed gratification—long-term gain over short-term pleasure—is the frame for all personal development." "Massive action is your cure-all." "Stop living life like you get a second chance at it." Actionable Takeaways • Encourage Asset Ownership. Advise clients to acquire assets (real estate, business, investments) as a long-term hedge against inflation and money devaluation. • Guide Focus with RAS Principles. Use the reticular activating system concept: continually guide clients to focus on solutions and opportunities, not just problems. • Coach Away People-Pleasing. Help clients lean into tension, embrace necessary disappointment, and have vital conversations—even if uncomfortable. • Build Personal Presence. Practice being fully present in every interaction—eye contact, attention, "seeing" the person in front of you. Model leaders like Tony Robbins and Michael Jordan. • Instill Delay of Gratification. Reinforce daily habits that trade near-term comfort for long-term success (e.g., exercise, healthy eating, focused work blocks). • Create "Time to Think" Rituals. Block out one hour with pen and paper—no phone, no interruptions—to work through the single biggest question or challenge facing you or your business. • Measure Relentlessly. Adopt "time to measure" (TTM) and regularly review results, key metrics, and starting/finishing lines to stay accountable and on track. • Take Calculated Risks. Launch projects, do "free trials" for ideal clients, start a podcast, or chase JVs. Asymmetrical risk/reward fuels breakthroughs. • Own Your Results. Take 100% responsibility—no blame, no excuses. The best only play the hand they're dealt—and win with it.

Go back and listen to Polish Peter, and then come back and join us.Brad Crowell 1:15  Yeah, Polish Peter, I love it.Lesley Logan 1:15  I know. It's on his Zoom call. It says Polish Peter.Brad Crowell 1:18  That's what he calls himself. Yeah, he explained it in the episode. I kind of had a good chuckle, but yeah, a lot of fun.Lesley Logan 1:24  I mean, he's Polish.Brad Crowell 1:25  Well, there's that. I mean, I hope I would hope he's Polish. He better fucking be Polish if he's calling himself Polish. Lesley Logan 1:32  And he's not just Polish. He's from Poland. So there's that. All right. So today is September 17th. Here's the deal, guys. We're gonna get down and dirty because you know what? The day before recording this, I'm a little, I'm a little annoyed. So we're in on this stuff. It is whether or not people wanted to celebrate this day. There, we are celebrating it. It is National DEI Day.Brad Crowell 1:53  It's September 17th.Lesley Logan 1:54  That's right. It's September 17th. It is National DEI Day. National DEI Day champions our nation's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion every September 17th, sharing its date with Constitution and Citizenship. Wow, with Constitution and Citizenship Days. I wonder if the people who aren't into DEI have ever read the Constitution or taken a citizenship test. Anyways, it reinforces values of democracy and belonging. I am zesty today, and belonging. Communities nationwide are encouraged to wear blue and unite to celebrate equity in action. Discover resources, participate in discussions, and support initiatives that foster a truly inclusive society. So, Brad put some stuff together.Brad Crowell 2:36  Yeah, DEI. Here's what each word actually means, but completely stripped of political charge that's been layered with all of the craziness that's been happening.Lesley Logan 2:47  Okay, by the way, if anyone's triggered by the fact that we're talking about DEI, they're already gone. Brad Crowell 2:51  So yeah, this is probably already gone. Lesley Logan 2:53  Yeah, but this is for our people who needed to explain it to their family members. Brad Crowell 2:57  Well, yeah, I think it's really important. DEI is just this supercharged acronym. We told my dad that our government is going after people about. They've shut down grants to universities because the university has a DEI class. But what is DEI? What does that actually mean? Right. The D stands for Diversity. The E is Equity. The I is Inclusion. But D includes the presence of people with different backgrounds, identities, and experiences in a group or organization. So that's all different backgrounds, identities, and experiences. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic background. Right?Lesley Logan 3:42  Yeah. If you're poor.Brad Crowell 3:43  You're DEI, right? National origin, so that could certainly be people from another country. It could also mean religion, and also side note, every fucking person who's ever been in the military.Lesley Logan 3:56  Yeah, you're DEI. When we told my family member, we're like, you're DEI. I'm like, you are over 65, so that's an age thing. You are a veteran.Brad Crowell 4:07  Yep.Lesley Logan 4:08  DEI.Brad Crowell 4:09  Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:09  There it is. You are. I have a sweatshirt that says you're probably DEI too.Brad Crowell 4:14  Yeah. So that's the D. So E is designing systems so that outcomes aren't predetermined by someone's starting point, so it's not the same as equality, giving everyone the same thing, right? This is equity. Equity means adjusting for the fact that different people face different barriers.Lesley Logan 4:35  Yeah, I mean, if you grow up in a poor area of town in the U.S., that likely means that your school has less funding, which means if you're able to be a straight-A student in your school with less funding, equity means that they see you similarly to someone who went to a very high-end school versus like, "Oh well, you got a 3.8 at this school, but these people have 4.2's." No, they're like, "Oh hi, that's insane, that's amazing, whoa, we should look at that."Brad Crowell 5:08  Well, it's adjusting. Yeah, exactly. It's adjusting for the fact that there are different barriers of entry. Right? So that's what equity is.Lesley Logan 5:15  There's also a really interesting thing. You can see it on YouTube. It was going around during 2020 and 2021, where they just put people on a starting line and they ask them questions, right? Did you have this? Did you have that growing up? Did you have this growing up? And you have to take certain steps forward or backward, and then you look and you see people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and races often are behind other places, and it doesn't mean that we take these other people down. It's that we actually go, "Oh, we should actually account for that and give these people an opportunity to even the drawing, give them a better opportunity at life."Brad Crowell 5:52  I stands for Inclusion. Whether people who are present actually feel welcome, they feel heard, and they're able to participate fully, or whether they're just technically in the room, right? Making sure that everyone has a voice.Lesley Logan 6:06  It's like in the '80s, or I don't remember when they, for, "Oh well, that board has a woman on the board, but she doesn't ever get to talk, and her points are never listened to." Then it's not actually included.Brad Crowell 6:18  She's the talking woman on the board.Lesley Logan 6:19  Yeah.Brad Crowell 6:20  Right. Yeah. So who is included in DEI? This is where it often gets—I'm just going to sum it all up. This is often where it gets misunderstood. DEI frameworks were born out of civil rights and anti-discrimination work. So, in practice, the groups most often centered are Black, Latino, Hispanic, Indigenous, Asian, women, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and veterans. However, the framework itself is not exclusive to those groups. A white man from rural Appalachia with no college degree is considered diverse in a room full of Ivy League professionals, and equity would ask whether he has had the same shot at advancement. Right? So.Lesley Logan 7:02  But they would never tell that guy that.Brad Crowell 7:06  Okay, well, the political fight isn't really just about the definition; it's about whether these frameworks produce fair outcomes or create preferential treatment, right? That's the—that is where the argument is: Is it right for us to give a voice to the guy from Appalachia? Are we giving preferential treatment to him, or is it producing a fair outcome? And that's where, you know, that's now where opinion comes into play, right? It's about that and whether institutional programs built around DEI actually deliver on the premise or become performative checkbox exercises, right? So it's definitely easy to just turn into a checkbox exercise. This is where reasonable people land on different places.Lesley Logan 7:45  Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know that DEI mandates, the wrong word, but values in a company are always going to be perfect. I think everything is going to have flaws, and there's always going to be blind spots to different things just based on experiences, no matter where you land on the board, but I do think that punishing people because they have DEI as a value system or something that's important to them is wrong, and also just assuming that somebody who is of any of the things we said got there because they were just gifted a thing is just ignorant. Brad Crowell 8:22  It would also be wrong.Lesley Logan 8:24  It's wrong to assume. "Oh, there's a person of color, or a poor person, or a woman, or a queer person in a job. It's because DEI." No, every person who interviews for a job still has to get past the interview. They still have to get there. You know what I mean? It's so interesting to me how people think that something is happening at them. We all benefit when there's different people at.Brad Crowell 8:51  Oh the stats are in. I mean, the, the if you go look at any corporation that focuses on diversity in their company, they perform better as a company. There's not even any question.Lesley Logan 9:02  100% So I don't know. We obviously, I want to say about Polish Peter, but I just think it's really important. If you're listening, there's a good chance you're probably DEI too in some way, and if you have family members who are really like, they roll their eyes at those letters, I strongly encourage you to look up and see if they fall in under DEI and explain it to them because what sounds like is that they've been brainwashed that people are having a leg up on them, which is not true. And if they just recognized that they also fall under these things, there are systems for them. Like, this is the thing that frustrates me the most. There are systems for people,Brad Crowell 9:38  Yeah.Lesley Logan 9:39  Who think that the world is against them. There are these things. You have to look them up. It's really frustrating, but there are these things. I hear about different things that Vegas offers people in different socioeconomic backgrounds and homes. I didn't even know existed. I'm like, how are people hearing about this? But we do have. Brad Crowell 9:55  I mean, we're watching The Pit right now. Again, literally. Lesley's on the third time through. I'm on the second time through, and there's in season two. There is a unhoused guy who he needs a bath really bad, right? And he gets in to they they they clean him up and they start talking to him and everything. And the charge nurse, the head charge nurse, says, you know, you need to work the system. The system is there to support you. You have to learn how to work the system. Right? And and so it's shoot that wrong. Lesley Logan 10:25  We have some incredible people on our teaching team and and our team who've had things that are outside of their control, just terrible things that just have sidelined their dreams. And not only did they work the system, and yes, it requires you being on long phone call holds and doing the paperwork and and keeping the receipts, but their kids are benefiting from it and Brad Crowell 10:48  Yeah, big time. Lesley Logan 10:48  So do it. Brad Crowell 10:49  In a good way.Lesley Logan 10:50  Do it.Brad Crowell 10:51  Yeah.Lesley Logan 10:51  And also we are voting in the next less than 60 days. Please consider how you are voting and who supports people. Brad Crowell 10:59  Well, first off, make sure you vote.Lesley Logan 11:01  Make sure you vote.Brad Crowell 11:02  Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:02  You can vote for whoever you want, but also think about how that person feels about other people.Brad Crowell 11:08  Yeah.Lesley Logan 11:09  You know. Anyways, we got to get into it. Brad Crowell 11:11  We're going to talk about what's coming up here and what our travel is.Lesley Logan 11:14  The upLifter, upLift Teacher Training Program. We're actually onboarding our instructors this fall, so. Brad Crowell 11:20  Our educators. Lesley Logan 11:21  Our educators, for that this fall and upLift is for people who want to become a pilates instructor or people who have had partial trainings who would like to make it a comprehensive training so they can have a career and longevity in this career. So if you are interested in my upLift teacher training program and being able to do that in person with one of our educators, xxll.co/uws. No, we still don't have a link for all these things, but we'll get there probably next year. It's a 2027 goal. All right. eLevate. That is my mentorship program. So that's for those of you who are—if you're like, "Oh, I would love to learn from you, but I'm already trained teacher." That's eLevate. We have a few spots left, and you can actually watch. Brad Crowell 11:57  Well, we might be sold out by the time you hear this in September, but yeah, we'll see. At the very least, get on the wait list for future.Lesley Logan 12:03  Just go and check, and you never know. And we'll figure out a better way to announce this stuff. lesleylogan.co/elevate. But you should go learn about it and see if it's the right thing for you. Brad Crowell 12:12  I mean, honestly, the the the reality is this: that 2027 is already sold out. 2028 is almost sold out, right? So if this is something that you're considering, it's getting further out in the future. So now is the time to start thinking about it because, you know, we might already be talking about 2029. Lesley Logan 12:29  And I won't even let them pick dates, so we're not even talking. But anyways, I want you in if you want in. I want you in. It's not some elitist thing, by the way. It's just people always, "Oh, I can't believe I got accepted." It's, yeah, you meet the requirements and why you want to join is why I do the program, and so it's a kind of a first-come, first-serve. I'm not one of those hierarchical. Is that the right word?Brad Crowell 12:49  Yeah, you nailed it.Lesley Logan 12:49  Yeah, educators where you must have been teaching 30 years, and you must bow down to me and be in my cult. No, I, I really, if you want to learn from me and you meet the why we do what we do and what you need to have done, then it's a first-come, first-serve. So there is no someone had this training and that's why they're in over someone else. Nope, nope. Also, our flashcards. Did you know that if you want to support this podcast and you're not ready to be an OPC member, there's a way to support this podcast by buying our flashcards. And when you buy our flashcards, you don't just support us. You actually support the Nevada SPCA.Brad Crowell 13:21  Hey, love that.Lesley Logan 13:22  And they do fucking great work.Brad Crowell 13:24  Yes.Lesley Logan 13:24  Yeah. opc.me/flashcards.Brad Crowell 13:26  We were able to buy all of the dogs in the. Lesley Logan 13:30  Not just the dogs, Brad. We were able to pay for 114 shelter animals' food for one week.Brad Crowell 13:35  That's amazing.Lesley Logan 13:36  And at the time, they only had 61 shelter animals, so we probably paid for two weeks of. Brad Crowell 13:40  That's what I thought. It was two weeks. The way that it worked out was it's two weeks worth of meals for the the animals that they had, the future pets that they had, and we're really proud of that, y'all. Like this is not just Lesley and I saying this. This is your participation with Online Pilates Classes. We are so excited to be able to write that check, and we write it every quarter, and it's because of you.Lesley Logan 14:03  And also, we should be updating you on Q3 soon. So stay tuned. We'll see how many more animals we we fed, or how many we paid for the adoption fees for. Anyways, posters.Brad Crowell 14:14  Yeah, people have asked us where the posters are found. The OPC posters. Just go to opc.me/posters, and then real quick, we're gonna rip through this. Yeah, we'll be in Sacramento in October for Pilates On Tour. Lesley Logan 14:26  It's sold out.Brad Crowell 14:27  It is sold out, but we'll be there, and we'll be bringing the flashcards, by the way. And then Lesley and I literally leave our van, and we take the BART into San Francisco, and we are going to hop on a plane to go to Cambodia to host our annual retreat there, which is also.Lesley Logan 14:44  Well. It's been sold out for a long time, but you can get on. You're making it sound like no one can hang out with us.Brad Crowell 14:48  No.Lesley Logan 14:48  You can get on the wailist because we will not sell tickets to 2027 until January. There is space in 2027 hangouts. But you got to be on the waitlist for that.Brad Crowell 14:58  In November, Lesley is going to be at a Pilates summit in China.Lesley Logan 15:02  Yes. Brad Crowell 15:03  Just outside of Shanghai.Lesley Logan 15:04  Still have no link for you, but I heard that they're promoting it on the Chinese socials. Brad Crowell 15:09  Yes, it is up and out. We're we're working on that.Lesley Logan 15:11  Tell your friends in China. Yeah, hopefully I can come a lot.Brad Crowell 15:15  That'd be awesome.Lesley Logan 15:16  Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:16  In December, Lesley's going to India. She's going to be in Goa.Lesley Logan 15:19  There are spaces.Brad Crowell 15:20  And there are spaces at the Pilates On Tour there, the POT there. So go to xxll.co/pot Lesley Logan 15:27  And Goa, you guys, I said yes because when you look at Goa, you too will say yes. And the way they do Goa is so different. They treat it almost like you're going on a retreat. So your ticket covers the resort, the food, the whole thing.Brad Crowell 15:39  Oh, nice.Lesley Logan 15:40  Yeah.Brad Crowell 15:41  You have food there too. That's great.Lesley Logan 15:42  Well, of course they're gonna feed me. They always do, but everyone you fed.Brad Crowell 15:45  Not you, I meant the ticket attendees. Lesley Logan 15:46  Yeah, they get everything, and then it covers their their end of resort. We're all at a resort together.Brad Crowell 15:51  Very cool.Lesley Logan 15:52  It's gonna be like the White Lotus, but not no murders, no affairs.Brad Crowell 15:58  Awesome, and then Lesley literally flies from India straight to Denver, which you know that we're in Vegas. But I'm driving the van to Denver. She's gonna fly from India to Denver, and I'll pick her up, and we're gonna hit the road for our winter tour for OPC. Lesley Logan 16:14  Weird, wild, and crazy, and people think I'm 30 years old.Brad Crowell 16:16  Yeah, so come join us. Go to opc.me/events opc.me/events. Lesley Logan 16:21  And if you're like, oh, I'm gonna do next year's, just so you know, I've accepted nothing for 2027.Brad Crowell 16:28  For the winter tour?Lesley Logan 16:29  No, I mean for any of these POTs orBrad Crowell 16:32  Any of the events, yes. Lesley Logan 16:33  Or whatever. We haven't at this moment that we're recording. We have, I've accepted. Oh, I've accepted one thing, but I haven't had the contract on it yet, so. Brad Crowell 16:41  That's true. That's true. Oh, actually, before we leave, hold on, stick around, stick around. We are very excited to talk about the charity of the week. So this week's charity is we're going to be highlighting the Americans for Immigrant Justice. It's a Miami-based nonprofit law firm fighting for immigrant basic human rights for nearly 30 years. Since 1996, they provided free legal representation because, unlike criminal court, there's no guaranteed right to an attorney in immigration proceedings. I just want to say that again. We all know that the court provides us an attorney if we need one, right? We do, we do, we get that, yes. But if you are an immigrant, if you're going through immigration proceedings, that is not a guaranteed right, right? So what do you? First off, you might not even know anything about our legal system, and then what? You're supposed to represent yourself? That's crazy.Lesley Logan 17:34  Well, we have friends who, because of all this ICE shit, are being thrown into representing people because it's hitting the federal courts now, which is not normally how it goes, and they are having to learn immigration shit.Brad Crowell 17:44  Yeah, and so, yeah, so this organization offers literally free legal counsel. It's all in the Miami-Dade area, so South Florida, but it's—it's—it's amazing. They've provided attorneys to more than 175,000 people from over 160 countries. That's amazing. They're the only provider offering on-site legal help at Miami-Dade's domestic violence shelter. They do not just immigration, but they also do violence, like domestic violence. They've exposed abusive conditions inside detention centers in Florida and on the Texas border. And in 2025, they won a federal injunction blocking a Florida law that would have made it a felony for certain undocumented people to simply be in the state. Lesley Logan 18:23  Wow, this is really cool. And also, I'm sure if you don't live in Florida, I bet you they have friends and colleagues in different states.Brad Crowell 18:30  Yeah, they're four-star rated by Charity Navigator. Your donation actually goes to real on-the-ground work for people who have nowhere else to turn. And you can find out more at aijustice.org. AIjustice.org.Lesley Logan 18:43  I love that. It's really important. You know, there's a lot of ish happening right now, and it's, it's very scary, and it's all meant to just scare. It's all scare tactics, but also these are real people who are being locked up in places that it's not how it's normally done. They're actually, when people say, "Do it the right way," a lot of these people are. They actually went to their immigration appointment and they got picked up. It takes a long time. So, anyways, please take a look at how you can support people who have immigrated here in your areas. If this organization doesn't work, there's probably a lot of different ways you can support those in your community. Do that.Brad Crowell 19:17  Yeah, and if you have a recommendation for a charity that we should investigate and check out, send us a text 310-905-5534, or you can submit that to beitpod.com/questions. You can also leave us a win for the Friday episodes, and if you know, you know. Stick around. We'll be right back. All right, let's talk about Peter, known as Polish Peter and sometimes Polish Tony, for his Tony Robbins-esque style. He's a transformational coach, speaker, and author. Born in communist Poland, Peter landed in Detroit in 1991 at the age of 14 with no English and Big Dreams of the USA, shaped by Hollywood movies. He trained as an architect, but after the 2008 recession and a divorce, he found his way into coaching. Today, he helps people like—all the stories holding them back, and asks the tough, sobering questions that people need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. He does have a book. It's called The Authentic Self Rebirth, and we'll put the link in the show notes, so check it out below. Lesley Logan 20:13  But he's got such great energy. Brad Crowell 20:16  Yeah, my Authentic Birth. You can find it, and he has a book there. It's free right now, apparently, actually.Lesley Logan 20:21  No, you just pay for shipping handling.Brad Crowell 20:22  Yeah, awesome. So yeah, yeah, it was a great convo.Lesley Logan 20:25  I agree. I don't. I think I don't even remember. Remember when the 747s were falling out of the sky, like they were having issues.Brad Crowell 20:34  Yeah, sure. Like two years ago.Lesley Logan 20:35  No, more like before COVID. But there was that. Was it really? Yeah, maybe they weren't 747s. Maybe they were—remember the Boeing? There were Boeings, and there was two that the pilots were trying to do something, and the computer was doing the opposite thing. Yeah, and then you were on a plane to New Orleans, and I had to get on a plane to Poland, and it was one of these Boeing numbers, and I started having a panic attack, and you weren't answering your phone because you were on a plane,Brad Crowell 21:00  I think it was 2023, babe.Lesley Logan 21:02  No, definitely not. It was before COVID. We lived in LA, and so I'm texting you, "I think I'm gonna die now. I'm going." Brad Crowell 21:10  Oh yes, I do remember this.Lesley Logan 21:11  And I love you so much. Here's where I come down. Brad Crowell 21:15  This was your first trip to Poland.Lesley Logan 21:17  My first trip to Poland, and they made me check my bag, which you know how much I hate because I said it was too heavy, and so of course I found some tequila and some kombucha, and I made myself a margarita at the airport. And I'm walking around drinking my margarita that I made, and I get myself on this plane. I was like, okay, if the plane takes off and nothing happens in 20 minutes, I think we're okay. So I set a timer, and I'm just sitting there with my timer. What? Nothing happened.Brad Crowell 21:43  What? No idea what you said.Lesley Logan 21:44  Well, I was just like watching my timer. I was just watching the timer. I was watching 20 minutes tick down, right? Because I was like, "This is—this is when it's going to happen. It's going to happen the next 20 minutes." And this woman next to me, when there was no one in the middle seat, she was, "I'm scared to fly too," and I was like, "Oh yeah, normally no, but this is one of those planes that goes down, so I'm just scared to be on this one." And she started talking about being living in communist Poland.Brad Crowell 22:06  She did?Lesley Logan 22:07  Yeah. And she told me it was so wonderful because she talked nonstop. Even my timer went off. She just kept talking, and she told me her whole life trying to escape communist Poland and how her family got to the U.S. and because in communist Poland you couldn't have access to your passport, so you had to have different reasons to get access to it. And then they watched you heavily when you had access to your passport. And she and her family were able to escape Poland and come to the United States.Brad Crowell 22:37  That's amazing.Lesley Logan 22:37  Yes, and it was a beautiful story. It was, and then she's like, "And I'm going back to see family." I'm like, so. Brad Crowell 22:43  Why would you do that? Okay. Lesley Logan 22:44  But it's not communist. Anyways. But it was. I just, anyways, I thought of her when I thought of that story and thought of her when with Peter because how difficult for his family to come here and then to be a child. Now he's in Detroit. How many Polish people are in Detroit. He's in Detroit. He doesn't know English, and English is. You think Polish is hard? English is hard. So, anyways, he operates, and this is probably why, is because he operates under the belief that life happens for me, not to me. And I know we've all heard that before, but you really do have to think about that in a way that's, that helps you because shit happens, and if you really can think about it, he, you know, in 2008 he lost all the things and his partner and all this stuff, and if he can think about this is happening for me and see the opportunities that are there to grow and to become a different person and to have a different life, so he definitely had some really good explanations. He said, imagine banging your head against the drywall, like something's going to give.Brad Crowell 23:42  Something will give.Lesley Logan 23:43  It will, and if you live at a flipped house, it will definitely give. But it's not good. You don't want to do that. He does—he said you should figure out what the root cause of the issue was going on. Like, really going back in time, and I think a lot of us stick to the surface level. This happened, so this is the thing. But there's often a first domino that starts the effect. So he also, I really like when he talked about the different patterns that signal a wrong direction, and we have to pivot. And my God, I know we all hate that word. It's still like a trigger word for us. But there's nothing wrong with a good pivot. I don't know. I'm a pivot queen.Brad Crowell 24:19  I think it's a great skill to have. I mean, it's also an important time to step back and reevaluate.Lesley Logan 24:27  Well, I was just talking with some eLevate people this week about how sometimes they get so super focused on this one thing in a person doing an exercise, and I love how you are a dog with a bone on that. But you got to zoom out because if you don't zoom out, you're actually missing that these three things are happening, which is probably why the thing you're zoomed in is happening there. And if you don't zoom out, then you're actually going to be going in the wrong direction. Where if you zoomed out and made a pivot, it doesn't mean you're a bad teacher. It actually means you're, you're going, "Whoa, hold on! I have more information, and now I can take us in the right direction." No, that's what.Brad Crowell 25:06  Well, I really loved what he was talking about. How do we know that we're being authentic? Because that's just be yourself. Just be authentic.Lesley Logan 25:13  I love this because everyone talks about being authentic. It's so annoying, but I love the word. Yeah, how do you know if you are?Brad Crowell 25:18  He said when you are true to yourself, he said, "You'll know when you're true to yourself if it feels like nothing is missing," right? If something is missing, if something feels like it's missing, then you're probably not being true to yourself, right? You're not being your authentic self. He also said that if you're living from stories of what the world told you to be, not how you need to be, right? So it's, this goes back to all the, you know, parallel here is like magazines or society telling you what this is how you should do it, and it's not necessarily the right path for you, right? For me, yeah, I agree. Yeah, you know, so I think it's amazing when you are pressured by something outside of you. That could be your parents. That could be your school. That could be your church. That could be whatever it might be. Your job. There's tension. There's obviously tension there. Sometimes the pressure is good. They're helping you with your path, but you know if the pressure is not good, right? It makes me think of my job that I had before I finally quit. Yeah, I mean, look, my parents pushed me to be a better student. You know, that's a good thing. My job pushed me to do things that could I do those things? Yes. Should I do those things? Probably shouldn't have done those things. You know, there was so much turmoil and tension in doing those things, but I was, I felt stuck. Felt super, super stuck. I need to get paid. I need to, you know, that's what's keeping me here. Is the only thing that's keeping me here is the paycheck, right? And I, it became very clear over time. I can't keep operating this way. I cannot keep doing the things I'm doing, you know, because I am not being authentic to myself. I don't believe in the things that I'm doing. I don't, I don't want to be doing the things that I'm doing, but I'm still doing them for some reason, right? And so, you know, I think that there's that internal frustration that you have, and that is a huge indicator that you're not being your authentic self.Lesley Logan 27:21  Yeah, I think I look back at my job I had in retail, which I do love and I'm really grateful for. But I kept taking promotions, expecting like the next thing to be better, the next thing to be better, and then I'm like, I gotta move cities, and that's gonna make it better. And then it's—you keep saying, "And then once this happens, then it'll be better." And it's actually no, if that keeps happening, there's something missing, and so you're not fully being authentic. And you got to take some time to think about that means and go get to know yourself. You know, go watch Runaway Bride and see how long it took her to figure out what she liked. You know, it takes time.Brad Crowell 27:52  Yeah, I mean, you know, I think the idea of getting to know yourself will help you create clarity when you have that tension. It's really hard, you know, to step aside and reevaluate things. It often comes with major life change, you know. For him, he was talking about how getting divorced was a reality check, and it made him do a lot of self-inflection.Lesley Logan 28:20  Self-inflection, reflection?Brad Crowell 28:22  Inflection.Lesley Logan 28:24  Self-inflection.Brad Crowell 28:25  Yeah, right? Lesley Logan 28:26  I don't think that's right. I don't want to correct you, but I don't think that's right. Self-inflection?Brad Crowell 28:32  Maybe it's self-reflection.Lesley Logan 28:33  It's reflection. Brad Crowell 28:34  What is inflection? What does that even mean?Lesley Logan 28:36  Well, this is when I'm in—I'm inflecting my voice. Like, I'm doing inflection. I'm inflecting this way. I am doing it like this. Like, inflection is like what you do with sounds.Brad Crowell 28:47  Well, we're gonna inflect in just a minute. So stick around. We'll be right back when we we inflect on those Be It Action Items.Lesley Logan 28:53  Oh my god, you guys! It's a Friday night.Brad Crowell 28:55  It's definitely Thursday.Lesley Logan 29:00  Leave it in. Just leave it in. Brad Crowell 29:03  We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 29:07  All right, welcome back. Let's talk about those be it action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Polish Peter? He identifies as a recovering people pleaser. He said that if you say yes to everything and everyone except the things that are most important to you, what ends up happening most of the time is the people who are closest to you get hurt the most. I'm going to say that again. If you say yes to everyone else, everyone except for the things that are important to you, the people that are closest to you get hurt the most. That was really interesting to think about. He also pointed out the people who are always told to write business plans, but nobody ever tells you to write a vision for your own personal life. I thought that was also really intriguing. So, but the thing, but let me get back to the thing about the people get hurt the most are the people closest to you. Think about this. This is—this is actually one of the things we talk about with OPC. You gotta put yourself first so that you can be the better you for your family, friends, coworkers, job, whatever it might be. For yourself, you have to put yourself first.Lesley Logan 30:20  I agree. Also, I was just watching a shitty reality TV show, and these people were with terrible people, and they're, you can watch the people-pleasers trying to make it work, and some of it was manipulation and coercion, but they're trying to people-please their way out of the situation, andBrad Crowell 30:35  It was some inflection.Lesley Logan 30:36  Yeah. And other person feel really good, but guess who got hurt? Their friends, their family, the people they cared about, because those people could see this partner is not good for them, and they could see what this person was doing, jumping through hoops to make this partner good for them. And it's, they ended up losing friends and losing connection with family members. And so you ought to be mindful. Yeah, I agree. Your OPC example was perfect. Brad Crowell 31:00  Yeah. Moving on to the business plan for your life, like writing a vision for your life. He said to stop being a people pleaser. He wrote out his own vision for his own life, and he blocked out personal priorities in his calendar to ensure those spots were not taken up by others or other commitments when he was usually saying yes. And he said the payoff was when people would ask for his time. He would say, "Hey, let me get back to you on that," and then he would go sit down and he would think, "Does this align with my vision? Is this going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away from my vision?" Right?Lesley Logan 31:36  I have a filter.Brad Crowell 31:37  But also that sounds super selfish. Does this align with my vision? Is it going to help me with my vision, or is it going to take me further away?Lesley Logan 31:45  I think this selfish needs a rebrand.Brad Crowell 31:48  Right. So self-care isn't selfish. We talked about that a whole lot back in the day, but the idea here is, yeah, it might sound selfish, but because he had not put himself first in the past, his entire life fell apart. So on round two, he was major change needs to happen. I'm going to run all of these things through this filter of how aligned is this thing with what I need for me. In addition to, I'm sure there's ways in there he can do both, but there are certainly things in there that will not serve him at all. And he's, "Hold on a minute. I don't know if I can do this anymore." So good for him. That's a really powerful thing to learn. And now he's helping people with it.Lesley Logan 32:33  Yeah. I also definitely understand feeling bad when I say no to things that don't align with what I want to do. It's not about—I don't feel bad, right? While this is going on, we were asked to be somewhere for an event, and we're available, but it's the only month to be fucking home, the rest of the year, it's it, and so I said we can't make it because it's the only month not on plane, and I'm really excited for you, and so of course I feel some FOMO. I feel, "Oh my God, are we letting people down?" And also, I can't do it. I will not be present enough for October events, November events, December events. I can't do it. So it's actually not selfish because going back to the people pleasing thing, if I had said yes, then the people coming to our events the rest of the year are going to get an exhausted version of me, so I had to say no, and it's not selfish; it's self-preservation.Brad Crowell 33:29  Right.Lesley Logan 33:30  Yeah. Anyways, I like that he said literally every day be with yourself. I do this all the time, so I couldn't agree more. I actually get really annoyed when I can't be with myself for four plus hours. I think it's really important. Find ways to be with yourself. Some people want to be with themselves in movement. Some people want to be themselves meditation, whatever. But you got to be with yourself without the podcast in the ear. I know this podcast, but so as much as I want you to keep listening, find 15 other minutes to be with yourself. But be with yourself. He suggested being in front of a camera or a mirror and just be with yourself and just be quiet. I think that's cool, especially if you don't do things with the camera. I'm in front of a camera all fucking day. I don't want to see my face anymore, so most of my time with myself is not seeing my face. I really appreciate that, but then it's really hilarious because I'll be with myself for four hours, and I'll put a camera. I'm like, "Wow, I walk the dogs like this." But anyways, I couldn't agree more because I think it's really important that you you just take time to be with you without any extra input. So I love that.
