It's God's Not Dead, but for Bigfoot!

Episode #1067 Divorce doesn't usually come out of nowhere. Most guys just don't see the signs until it's too late. In this episode, Doug and Chris talk honestly about what really leads to divorce and why so many men are blindsided by it, especially after the holidays. There's a reason January is known as "divorce season." While you're focused on work or coasting through the holidays, your wife may already be checking out or meeting with a lawyer. This conversation unpacks how good men end up in bad spots, and what to do now if your relationship feels off. Doug shares what emotional safety actually means, how to tell if your wife's already on her way out, and why most divorces that start "amicable" don't stay that way. They also get into why nice guys who avoid conflict often miss the biggest warning signs. If you've ever thought "she'd never leave," this is one you need to hear. The truth is, women usually leave emotionally long before they file papers. And by the time most men realize it, they're in cleanup mode. That doesn't have to be you. If your marriage feels stuck or your wife seems distant, now's the time to act. Not after she's already made up her mind. Want to stop the slow drift before it turns into divorce?

Just a clear place to start.

Today, I want to talk about my own experience falling into the trap of becoming the "chill girl".  I have never shared this story, and I am ready to tell about how badly I messed it up, to help you all avoid it.

Have we entered a new stage in the madness of this administration? This week Justin joins me to catalog some of the important points of failure and retreat in the White House and beyond, from Trump's faltering ballroom construction project and the quiet shuttering of DOGE, to tech psychos like Sam Altman and Elon Musk selling increasingly unrealistic visions of the future (OpenAI dominance and Nazified white supremacy, respectively). Meanwhile, China sharpens the blades of its own tech projects and Europe casts its eyes eastward.

Tara kicks off with a festive note

If you're always the one who shows up for everyone else, this episode reveals why that strength can quietly become the very thing holding you back. Show Notes — "Stop Helping Everyone Except Yourself" In this episode, Baylor exposes one of the most overlooked forms of burnout: being the reliable one. The fixer. The hero. The go-to problem solver. The people pleaser. It sounds noble. It feels selfless. And you may genuinely believe you're just "helping." But Baylor breaks down how people-pleasing often turns into a subtle, dangerous cycle where you're pouring into everyone else and leaving yourself empty. He explains how the biggest question every people pleaser must ask is: "Is this truly helping, or am I just supplying the fuel for someone else's laziness?" You'll hear Baylor unpack why lazy people naturally gravitate toward reliable people, how "emergencies" magically become your problem, and why the person who always helps is rarely the one who gets helped in return. Then he goes deeper: How reciprocity reveals someone's true intentions Why "thank you" doesn't always mean gratitude Why being dependable becomes your identity How manipulation hides inside convenience Why the fear of disappointing others keeps you stuck Most importantly, Baylor challenges you to stop making everyone else the priority—and finally make the person in the mirror your first obligation. When you do that, you don't just help yourself… you actually start helping the right people in the right ways. What You'll Learn The hidden burnout cycle of people pleasers How to identify one-sided and non-reciprocal relationships Why lazy or unmotivated people always find "the reliable one" How to know if you're genuinely helping or being used Why your identity becomes tied to fixing others How to reclaim your time, energy, and self-respect Why the person in the mirror must get the best of you How to set boundaries that protect your peace and purpose Featured Quote "You are a people too—stop pleasing everyone except the one in the mirror."

In this “Kim on a Whim,” Kim takes aim at Trump's floated idea of 50-year mortgages, calling it “a terrible idea” that traps buyers in decades of debt with little equity. She and Marc agree with Dave Ramsey's blistering takedown, arguing such loans solve nothing in the housing crunch. The pair dig into affordability challenges, California's rebuilding woes, and the danger of repeating pre-2008 lending mistakes. The segment wraps with talk of inflated home prices, younger buyers' unrealistic expectations, and a reminder that history has seen tough housing cycles before — and survived them.

TJ Raphael, host of the series Liberty Lost, joins Mike to investigate the "Liberty Godparent Home"—a facility on Liberty University's campus where pregnant teens were allegedly pressured into adoption under the guise of spiritual redemption—and discuss why the financial incentives of the "adoption industrial complex" often cause the promise of open adoption to fall apart. Plus, Mike breaks down President Trump's "pardoning fiesta" and does the "Cocaine Math" on whether federal prosecutors are getting high on their own sentencing statistics.

Escaping the New Age Trap & Seeking Authenticity with Laura Shamanic Self This episode dives into a hard, unvarnished conversation about spiritual authenticity, deception, and the traps people fall into when they first break away from organized religion or mainstream narratives. Ryan opens by reflecting on how questioning everything can be liberating but also destabilizing, especially when old belief systems collapse and the alternatives—New Age teachings, "gurus," channelers, star-seed mythologies, and spiritual authority figures—often carry their own hidden agendas. He emphasizes his commitment to staying open, critical, and self-interrogating, even when perspectives clash, and he acknowledges that not every spiritual experience or teacher is fraudulent—there are glimpses of genuine love, beauty, and authenticity worth fighting for. Laura, founder of Shamanic Self, joins the show to break down her journey out of the New Age movement and explain why she believes much of it is a sophisticated trap. She discusses how people awakening to deeper truths often get funneled directly into another belief system that feeds their ego, siphons their energy, and pushes them toward external entities, "guides," and false cosmologies rather than their own inner knowing. Laura describes the years she spent following prominent New Age figures, the moment her life collapsed under their guidance, and how that crisis ultimately became her exit ramp. She outlines her current approach to intuitive work, one built on inner discernment, rejecting external "guides," and avoiding anything she sees as astral interference or AI-like deception. The conversation goes deep into metaphysics, soul contracts, resets, the nature of consciousness, why certain public spiritual figures may be controlled opposition, and how to navigate a world distorted by misinformation and hijacked belief systems. Despite clear disagreements, both maintain a grounded respect for one another's perspectives. The episode ends with a shared commitment to seeking truth, staying sovereign, and not surrendering personal power to any system claiming to have all the answers. WEBSITE: https://www.shamanicself.com/ ---------------- Takeaways include" Many people escaping religion fall directly into another trap—the New Age—because it appears liberating while quietly redirecting power away from the individual. Authentic spiritual insight requires discipline, inner work, and the ability to distinguish intuition from astral manipulation or external influence. Not all "gurus," psychics, or channelers are malicious, but many deliver harmful guidance, feed ego, or operate as controlled narratives. Sovereignty comes from grounding in personal intuition, not outsourcing authority to entities, guides, movements, or ideologies. Even within a world filled with deception, personal experiences of love, beauty, and genuine connection remain proof that not everything is corrupted—and those glimpses are worth defending. ---------------- Shamanic Self, spiritual authenticity, New Age deception, inner sovereignty, discernment, shamanic practice, matrix reality, astral interference, soul contracts, awakening, controlled opposition

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm speaking directly to the men who are walking through the intensity of high conflict divorce — the pressure, the triggers, the confusion, and the deep internal unraveling that often comes with it. Men in high conflict divorce are asked to hold an extraordinary amount: to respond instead of react, to stay grounded when provoked, and to lead even when everything around them feels uncertain. And while I coach men through these challenges every single day, I also know that some truths land more powerfully when they come from another man who embodies the discipline, steadiness, and intentional leadership required to rise during divorce. That's why I invited Michael Holt, founder of the international Savage & Saint Collective, to join me for this conversation. Michael has dedicated his life to helping men reclaim emotional sovereignty, cultivate presence, and embody a form of masculine leadership that is rooted in clarity rather than chaos. His work blends meditation, martial arts, psychology, holistic health, and serious inner discipline — and it aligns deeply with what I teach men navigating high conflict divorce: that the real power lies not in controlling others, but in mastering yourself. Michael and I explore the patterns that keep men stuck in reactivity during divorce and the internal shifts required to break those cycles. We talk about the cost of abandoning your center, how quickly men give away their power when triggered, and what it takes to stay grounded when you feel attacked, misunderstood, or overwhelmed. Michael offers a male perspective on strength that doesn't rely on force, suppression, or avoidance, but instead comes from presence, vitality, and self-awareness — qualities that become essential when the stakes are high and the conflict feels relentless. Together, we dig into the difference between reactive masculinity and embodied leadership, and why men who learn to regulate their nervous system and stay anchored in who they are gain far more influence — not just in their divorce, but in their lives, relationships, and fatherhood. We discuss how men can cultivate discipline, stability, and clarity even in the middle of legal battles, emotional turmoil, and the dismantling of a marriage. This is the kind of conversation that gives men direction, grounding, and a roadmap for showing up as the man they want to be, not the man the conflict tries to turn them into. Michael Holt is a powerful example of what it looks like to live the work rather than talk about it. His Savage & Saint Collective supports men around the world in strengthening their inner foundation so they can show up with integrity, courage, and calm — exactly what is needed in high conflict divorce. If you're a man navigating divorce and you've been searching for guidance from someone who truly understands the internal journey you're on, this episode will offer the clarity and steadiness you've been craving. This is about reclaiming yourself, rebuilding your center, and stepping into the kind of leadership that can change the trajectory of your life.

Ever feel like you're doing all the right things—loving your family, serving your clients, following God the best you can—yet still wondering if you're missing something in the moments that matter most?You're not alone. And today's conversation will meet you right there with both truth and hope.In this deeply grounding episode, I'm joined by Terri Hitt—wife of 47 years, mom of four across two generations, Christian motherhood mentor, podcast host, and author of the new book The Good Mom Trap. Terri has spent decades walking women through what it really means to break the lie that “good parenting makes godly kids” and instead live as mothers who choose Christ over culture.We're talking about the things that impact both your time and your legacy: how taking your thoughts captive shifts your daily rhythms, why busyness is the #1 obstacle in raising kids who know and follow God, and how choosing to live moment-by-moment with Him transforms the way you show up for your business, your home, and the next generation.Terri opens up about how the loss of her daughter reshaped her identity and mindset, why we must invest heavenly deposits into the children God has entrusted to us, and how inhaling Christ individually allows us to exhale Him to everyone around us.If you've ever wondered whether you're doing “enough” as a mom while building a business, this episode offers an eternal perspective that sets you free.

Let's talk about the Martha Stewart trap so many of us have fallen into.You decide you're going to get everyone together to see your new place. But then you start thinking you need to deep clean everything; you need more seating, more cutlery, and you need to cook a nice meal. Eventually you start wondering: when did hosting get so expensive?I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be. Today's episode will reframe a few things for you, but the biggest one is about the difference between entertaining, which I'd say is your Martha Stewart dinner party, and hosting, which is casual and can be inexpensive (or even free).Don't let Martha Stewart scare you off from hosting a gathering. Bringing people together for a gathering is about connection, not perfection, and you don't need a pristine home or unlimited budget to do it. All you need is yourself and a little creativity. In this episode you'll hear about:How my experience as a professional wedding planner has reframed how I see hosting vs. entertaining (and why I think the host is the initiator, not the venue owner)Hosting people outside your home via a community event or at a park, community space, library, museum, etc.Different kinds of informal parties I've hosted: Picnics in the park! Potluck freezer food parties! Cookie nights! DIY pizza nights! Using energy to manage feelings of vulnerability and create a welcoming environment for guests instead of trying to manifest perfectionResources & LinksListen to the Six Rules of Hosting audio guide.Like what you hear?

We talk about collaboration, but our brains often treat work like a win-lose game. In this episode, I break down Zero-Sum Bias, the belief that someone else's win automatically means your loss, where it comes from, how it quietly shapes team dynamics, and what you can do to build more win-win outcomes at work.What if your brain has been keeping score at work this whole time? And the game it thinks you're playing doesn't actually exist?We repeat lines like, “If a stakeholder wins, designers lose,” or “If the PM wins, users lose,” so often that they start to feel like facts. In this episode of the Cognition Catalog, we unpack Zero-Sum Bias, the belief that someone else's gain must come at your expense, and how that thinking quietly turns collaboration into a contest.I walk through where this bias comes from, starting with early economic and game theory models like zero-sum games, where wins and losses truly do net out to zero, and how that maps onto our evolutionary history of genuine scarcity. Food, safety, and resources really were limited, so one person's gain often did mean someone else's loss. The problem is that our brains still carry that wiring into modern workplaces that are full of shared goals, interdependence, and cross-functional teams.From design vs. product vs. engineering “tensions” to resourcing, prioritization, and recognition, I break down how zero-sum thinking shows up in everyday UX work—and what changes when you stop assuming only one side can win. We'll talk about practical ways to spot the bias, shift toward non-zero-sum thinking, and design team habits that reward collaboration over quiet competition.If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “If they win, I lose,” this episode will help you reset the scoreboard and build healthier ways of working together.Topics:• 02:08 Debunking Zero Sum Thinking• 03:13 Origins and Evolution of Zero Sum Bias• 04:09 Impact of Zero Sum Bias on Teams• 06:18 Strategies to Combat Zero-Sum BiasTo explore more about the Naive Cynicism, don't miss the full article @ ⁠⁠cognitioncatalog.com⁠⁠—Thanks for listening!

Alyssa tells us that she has done laundry before at Ken’s and she had never seen the earring so she is worried another woman not only came over to Ken’s, but also did laundry. We call Ken pretending to send him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask him who he wants the flowers sent to, Ken asks if we can send them to someone named Bailey!

She's baaakkkk! I'm so excited to bring back SDS with renewed energy and enthusiasm for this community. And with that...let's dive in to our first episode back.  You're doing it all. You're doing it all well. And you're exhausted. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you can't seem to stop - and why the reason isn't the same for every woman. We're going underneath the "do it all" trap to look at what's actually driving it: fear, perfectionism, avoidance, identity, expectations, or control.

#309 Product Positioning | This episode is from a Drive 2025 (our annual Exit Five event) session with April Dunford (Founder, Ambient Strategy). April pulls from working with 300+ tech companies to unpack the real patterns behind winning positioning from calling out competitors' nonsense to teaching buyers what actually matters, avoiding category-creation traps, and fixing the sales messes that weak positioning creates.

Ohio enshrined reproductive freedom in the state constitution in 2023, but sneaky attempts to thwart the will of the people are still very much in play. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams take aim at some sly laws slipped in to the state budget and shoved through the latest legislative session that seek to burden reproductive healthcare providers, stigmatize abortion seekers, and ultimately force a minority religious viewpoint onto the bodies of every Ohioan. Calling out the dishonesty and religious hypocrisy of crafty anti-abortion zealots, Kelley and Terry help listeners gain perspective, centering this episode on the important truth at the core of this struggle — that people who support abortion-positive policies are in the majority in Ohio and beyond.

Hillary Weiss, brand strategist and positioning coach, reflects on growing up in suburban South Florida where attending the same school for 14 years meant everyone remembered who peed their pants in pre-K yet created lifelong friendships that watched her evolve from emo to punk rock to professional white woman. Weiss challenges the dangerous mindset mantra in entrepreneurship, arguing that privilege and circumstance—like having a home to return to if everything went belly up—allow some people to take risks that others cannot afford. She introduces the elevator framework: going one floor down beneath surface-level statements like I help clients find their voice to uncover the golden thread that makes someone exceptional. Weiss explains why imitation is a reasonable starting point but becomes a trap when entrepreneurs copy successful people's maps without understanding why they do things a certain way, resulting in indistinguishable businesses wearing outfits not made for them. She warns against the Protestant work ethic that led her to six figures by 25 but also total burnout from working seven days a week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Mindset Debrief | Doing It All Alone Is Breaking YouSelf-reliance is often praised as strength, yet many adults quietly turn it into a constant survival strategy. What begins as independence can slowly shift into isolation, and most people never notice the moment when self-discipline turns into self-damage. This episode explores why high performers often carry everything alone, and how that habit can erode clarity, creativity, and emotional stability over time.Examine the subtle ways independence starts taking more than it gives. How silence can disguise itself as focus, how isolation can look like discipline, and why doing everything alone slowly narrows your perspective. This episode challenges the belief that strength requires solitude and offers a mindset shift that rebuilds resilience without sacrificing independence.The heart of this episode centers on a simple idea: you're a rough draft of the person you're becoming, and your growth depends on more than your ability to grind through challenges alone. You'll learn how to recognize the early signs of emotional isolation, how to replace pressure with clarity, and why support is a strategic tool for personal and professional growth.If you've ever pushed through exhaustion, withheld your struggles, or believed you had to carry everything yourself, this episode will speak directly to you. It invites you to rethink what strength really is, and it offers a practical, hopeful path forward.This episode is designed for anyone who cares about leadership, mindset, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. It's a reminder that you don't grow by standing alone, you grow by standing open: open to perspective, open to connection, and open to becoming something more.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

On the latest episode of Workplace Stories, we sit down with Koreen Pagano, author of "Building a Skills-Based Organization," to talk about one of the hottest and most complex topics in the world of work: how organizations can become truly skills-based, and what that really means in today's rapidly changing, AI-driven landscape. The conversation was loaded with practical insights, candid stories, and wisdom from the front lines of workforce transformation.Koreen shares her journey from ed-tech and product leadership to guiding hundreds of organizations through the maze of skills transformation. We discuss the crucial front-of-house and back-of-house elements, from clear communication and partnership models to building the right data and technology infrastructure. You'll hear fresh perspectives on using skills data as an early signal for retention, the shifting role of tasks versus skills, and what it means to future-proof your workforce for ongoing change. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[05:17] Skills vs job architecture approaches.[10:04] Navigating skills-based organizations.[14:33] Workforce data challenges with AI.[23:04] Skills over jobs for strategy.[27:04] Building resilient data systems.[34:33] Building trust in skill data.[39:32] Predicting employee retention through data.[45:59] Helping organizations align AI transformation with business goals.Why Skills Still Matter in a “Task-Talk” WorldThere's a persistent misconception that the age of “skills” has passed and that “tasks” offer a more practical lens, especially with AI in play. Koreen shares how, at a recent industry event, she heard professionals say, “We don't need to worry about skills, we have to focus on tasks.” But she thinks that it's misguided to abandon skills just when organizations are barely starting to understand and leverage them.While tasks describe the work to be done, skills reflect the underlying human (and sometimes machine) capabilities that make that work possible. Both are crucial, but without a foundational understanding of your organization's skills, mapping tasks is like building on sand.Front of House, Back of House, and Getting Skills RightWe need to balance “front of house” and “back of house” considerations when building a skills-based organization. Organizations often focus either on external communications, partnerships, and culture (front of house), or purely on technology, data, and infrastructure (back of house), but rarely both. Koreen is unique in straddling the two, and it's this holistic approach, blending people and process with tech and data, that sets successful organizations apart.The Evolution of Data and the Rise of Skills VerificationOrganizations are beginning to realize that their skills data isn't just about upskilling or reskilling; it's tightly connected to business-critical outcomes like retention, performance, and the ability to adapt to market shifts. Koreen shares compelling examples of using skills data to provide early warning on issues like employee retention, demonstrating data-driven HR in action.She also shared her pragmatic “3Vs” model for validating skills data: Validity (how well the data measures what it claims to), Variety (different types of data from varied sources), and Volume (quantity and frequency of data collected). You can make solid business decisions with basic self-reported skills data, but for higher-stakes calls, like hiring, you need much more rigorous, validated information.Jobs, Skills, and the Trap of Static StructuresOften, organizations anchor their skills strategy to their job architecture. Consultants and technology vendors frequently push companies to start by mapping skills to static jobs. We discuss why this is a dangerous place to “end”, because jobs, roles, and the tasks that define them are changing faster than ever, especially with AI in the mix. Koreen advocates for designing skills data that is flexible, lives independently, and can be mapped to jobs and tasks as they evolve, never becoming held hostage by legacy structures.Goals Over TasksPerhaps the most powerful call to action was the need to focus less on micromanaging the “how” (a long list of tasks) and more on the “what and why”, the goals, outcomes, and genuine business objectives. In a future where work is constantly shifting, organizations that empower people around purpose, supported by dynamic skills data, will outperform those stuck mapping today's tasks to yesterday's job charts.Building a skills-based organization isn't a project with a tidy endpoint, it's a transformation. As Koreen reminds us, it's hard, messy, and as much about culture as it is about data. But for the organizations (and the people) willing to experiment, adapt, and keep skills at the center of strategy, the payoff is a workforce that's ready for whatever comes next. Resources & People MentionedBuilding the Skills-Based Organization: A Blueprint for Transformation by Koreen Pagano Connect with Koreen PaganoKoreen Pagano on LinkedIn Connect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

Points of Interest00:01 – 01:28 – Introduction: Marcel and Carson set up the focus of the episode on why cash flow deserves as much attention as profitability in agency businesses.01:28 – 03:31 – Two Extreme Cash Flow Scenarios: Carson shares real client examples of agencies with tight cash despite solid operations and others with healthy bank balances masking eroding profitability, highlighting why cash and profit are easy to confuse.03:31 – 07:35 – Cash Flow vs Profitability and the Accrual Lens: Marcel explains that cash flow and profitability are correlated but distinct, outlining how agencies can be profitable with poor cash flow or unprofitable with strong cash, and introduces the importance of having both cash and accrual views.07:35 – 11:01 – Debt, Leverage, and the Cost of Poor Cash Flow: The conversation turns to agency debt, debt service ratios, and how borrowing is often used to cover weak unit economics, with Marcel warning how costly debt and “poor person pricing” can wipe out thin margins.11:17 – 18:03 – Lever One: Speeding Up Cash Collection: Marcel walks through practical ways to accelerate cash in the door, including stronger payment terms, bigger deposits, earlier invoicing, incentives for early payment, AR processes, auto-pay, and invoice factoring, while stressing how faster cash can create a dangerous illusion of higher profitability.18:03 – 21:28 – Lever Two: Delaying or Spreading Expenditures: The discussion shifts to reducing or smoothing cash outflows via flexible labor, aligning contractor terms with client terms, shortening the “cash down payment” needed to serve large projects, and avoiding unprofitable work chosen only for easier cash flow.21:28 – 26:34 – Variable Cost Models, Leasing, and Refinancing: Marcel outlines options like moving from upfront to usage-based models, leasing instead of buying, using tax planning, and refinancing expensive lines of credit into longer-term, lower-interest loans to ease monthly cash burden.26:34 – 29:04 – The Trap of Short-Term Cash Fixes: They highlight how tactics that conserve cash now—high-interest credit, invoice factoring, short-term debt—often make the business more expensive to run later, and stress the importance of applying for credit while the business is still healthy.29:04 – 33:12 – Lever Three: Building Cash Reserves and Planning for Seasonality: Marcel explains how to build three to six months of operating expenses plus two to four payrolls in cash, manage owner distributions, plan for slow periods like holidays, and use shareholder loans and credit strategically.33:12 – 36:21 – When Big Cash Reserves Hide Problems: The hosts discuss how large cash balances can mask emerging profitability or cash flow issues, arguing for a disciplined cadence of reviewing both cash and accrual metrics so owners see problems before they become crises.36:21 – 40:25 – Key Profitability Benchmarks Agencies Should Track: Marcel summarizes the core accrual benchmarks—delivery margin, direct delivery margin, overhead as a percentage of AGI, operating margin, average billable rate, utilization, and average cost per hour—as the foundation of sound unit economics.40:25 – 43:11 – Cash Flow Metrics and Parakeeto's Evolving Role: The episode closes with a rundown of cash-specific metrics—cash reserves, operating cash flow vs EBITDA, AR/AP days, CAC payback, debt service coverage, and line-of-credit usage—and a look at how Parakeeto is expanding its services to help agencies manage profitability and cash flow holistically.Show NotesPodcast Episode on Revenue Recognition with Marcel & CarsonLink to Notes File For Cash Flow ImprovementLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

In this video, Wallstreet Trapper breaks down what trading really looks like when you're serious about it — not the Instagram version. We're in a time where job security ain't guaranteed, and a lot of people need another stream of income. Trap explains how an extra $300–$500 a week in the market can turn into $1,200–$2,000 a month, or about $24,000 a year… and how that kind of money can change somebody's life when you have the right financial discipline. But he keeps it all the way real: You will lose money in this game The goal is to win more than you lose You must keep your losses small The 3 fights in trading: fear, greed, and ego Trap also tells the story of how a Donald Trump–driven market selloff hit him for $1.5 million, and how it took about six months of small, consistent wins to grind his way out of that hole. You'll hear him break down: Why he's not a day trader but still “makes money every day” by building the account How the market takes the elevator down and the stairs up Why people lose when they try to win their money back as fast as they lost it The difference between swings, deep swings, position trades and LEAPS Why risk management and patience will save your portfolio This ain't hype. This is the real emotional and financial reality of trading.

On today's show, Scoot ponders about the causes of the small plane crash into Lake Pontchartrain, shares his thoughts on LSU's new head coach Lane Kiffin's press conference, and discusses Gen Z embracing communal dining. Then, Scoot talks about a man who had his $12,000 Rolex stolen by a woman he brought back to his hotel room, the potential of the New Orleans Pelicans finding a new head coach this season, and why "rage bait" is so effective. Also, Scoot talks about the controversy surrounding the potentially criminal "double tap" boat strike allegedly ordered by Pete Hegseth.

Perfectionism is a trap, and today we're talking about how letting go of it can transform your productivity, time management, and overall happiness. Why? Because embracing 'average'—yes, average—is actually the secret to freeing up your time, energy, and mental bandwidth for the things that really matter. I know, I know, the word 'average' doesn't sound appealing. Nobody wants to feel mediocre, right? But here's the truth—most of us waste so much energy trying to be ‘perfect' at things that don't actually move the needle forward in life. And when we focus on perfection, we burn ourselves out and have nothing left for the stuff that truly makes life extraordinary.In this episode, I'll share why embracing 'good enough' in the areas that don't matter—like household chores, decluttering, or even certain work tasks—can give you more time to focus on what does matter. I'll also explain how taking shortcuts, like my ‘Do It Shitty' method, can actually lead to more success, not less. Whether it's cleaning your house, improving your career, or strengthening your relationships, I'll show you where you can cut corners, save time, and still get things done without the stress of perfectionism holding you back.   #clutterbug #podcast #mondaymotivation #motivation #mindsestshift #doitshitty   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/

In this episode, I get to sit down with someone I felt instantly connected to the moment I heard her speak on stage — executive coach, leadership trainer, and author Amina AlTai. When she said, "I lead with the shadow," I beelined straight to her after her talk because I knew you needed to hear her story. In our conversation, we dive into her new book The Ambition Trap and unpack how our core wounds — rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice — shape the masks we wear and the ways we overwork, overgive, and override our own bodies. Amina shares the story of the call that changed her life… the moment a doctor told her she was days away from multiple organ failure and how that crisis sparked her entire healing path. Her story hit so close to home.  I also share how my recent thyroid cancer diagnosis — and the surprising realization that it wasn't about "not speaking up," but about how I was speaking to myself. Together, we explore ambition from an uncolonized, trauma-informed lens, weaving her frameworks with astrology: Chiron as the wound that becomes the gift, Saturn's lessons in mastery, the Moon as our emotional needs and regulation, and how our charts reveal where fear and purpose intersect. If you've ever felt like you're "too much and not enough" at the same time… if you've pushed your body past its limits… if you're navigating fear, burnout, or untangling yourself from painful ambition… this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
