The Q2 2026 Unstuck Church Report is here! For this report, we are focusing on staffing trends in churches of various sizes. In this year's survey, we asked pastors and church leaders to tell us about the biggest staffing and structure challenges their churches are facing. And it's clear that there are some big hurdles churches are working to navigate. These hurdles are real, but as many churches have shown, there's also a clear path through them. And this year, it's visible in the data. In this episode, Sean breaks down the staffing data and trends we're seeing in churches this quarter: The biggest staffing challenges The hardest role to fill right now The strategy for a lean but healthy staff Exclusive interview with Todd Rhoades from Chemistry Staffing   This Episode is Sponsored by Chemistry Staffing Chemistry Staffing is a church search firm helping churches across the country hire healthy pastors and ministry staff who stay. Led by experienced pastors and church leaders, we match every role across the five areas that predict long-term fit: theology, culture, personality, skills, and chemistry.

If you have OCD or anxiety and you can't stop seeking reassurance, you are not alone and you are not broken. Whether it's Googling, calling loved ones, or mentally reviewing events over and over, reassurance seeking feels necessary in the moment. But it keeps you stuck. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW explains exactly why reassurance seeking is so hard to stop, and what you actually need to do instead.The problem is not willpower. The mistake most people make is trying to stop the behavior without addressing the inner emotional pressure that is driving it. When you just stop seeking reassurance without working on what is underneath, the anxiety doesn't go away. It shifts. You end up with a new theme, a new compulsion, or a new obsession, and the cycle continues.True recovery from OCD and anxiety means learning to confront and metabolize the emotions underneath the compulsion, not just stopping the behavior on the surface. This episode walks you through the core mindset shift that makes that possible.

Send us Fan MailYour phone rings during family time and suddenly the room changes. The conversation stops, your attention splits, and you can feel the distance grow in real time. We start with a client story that lands like a punch to the chest: his kid goes quiet because they assume he will take the call. That single moment reveals what most “break the habit” plans miss, and why putting your phone away is not a technical problem you solve with an app, a timer, or sheer discipline.We dig into the belief-level drivers that keep the habit running even when the stakes feel painfully clear. One belief says that talking about the issue with your partner will create more disconnection, so you avoid the conversation and stay stuck. Another belief says that if you don't respond immediately, you could lose a client and risk your ability to provide, which keeps your mind on alert even when you're physically at home. Marc and Teresa walk through the coaching questions that flip those assumptions and open up a different path, including how to ask your spouse for help and how “call me forward” creates accountability without shame.Then we take on the fear behind boundaries at work. What if not answering at 8 or 9pm doesn't cost you respect but earns it? What if it helps you filter for the right clients and model the kind of leadership and work life balance they want for themselves? We close with two prompts to sit with so you can spot the story fueling your old actions and test a new one that makes the better choice feel natural.If you want more conversations like this, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a boundary reset, and leave a review so more leaders can find us.Want to show up as the best version of you in the moments that matter most?Start by taking our 2-minute quiz at modernleadership.us/quiz!Are trying everything, but you keep coming up against the same wall and nothing seems to be working?Are you putting in the action and energy, but nothing is improving?If so, that's what we built our "How to get Unstuck" quiz for.Start by taking our 2-minute quiz at modernleadership.us/quiz. It's not about putting in more energy or action, it's about finding out what's actually keeping you stuck.

There is a gap nobody talks about.Not the gap between who you were and who you are becoming. Not the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I mean the one that opens up inside you when something ends. When someone leaves. When you leave. When a version of life you had quietly counted on quietly disappears.Grief is not always loud. Sometimes it doesn't announce itself at all. It just sits there -in the pause between one thought and the next. In the moment you reach for your phone to tell someone something, and then remember. On a Sunday afternoon, that used to mean something and now just means quiet.We were never really taught how to grieve. We were taught how to recover. How to bounce back. How to find the silver lining, the lesson, the growth. And all of that can be true - and also, sometimes something just needs to be mourned. Without the lesson. Without the reframe. Without being made useful.I wrote Mind the Gap in one of those spaces. The in-between place. Not in the acute pain of something ending but in the strange, quiet aftermath of the unknown space. When the world had moved on, and I hadn't quite. When I was expected to be fine, and something in me was still sitting with the loss, wondering why no one had named it yet.Grief is not just for death. It is for the relationship that ended. The friendship that quietly dissolved. The version of yourself you had to let go of to become who you are now. The career that didn't work out. The city you left. The future you had mapped in your head that never came to be.All of that deserves to be grieved. You are allowed to sit in the gap. You are allowed to not be over it yet. You are allowed to feel the weight of what was, even as you choose what comes next.The gap is not a sign you are stuck. It is a sign you love something. That it matters or mattered. That you were present enough to feel the loss of it.And in my experience, the only way out of the gap is through it. Not around it. Not above it. Not by filling it with noise and motion until it goes quiet. Through it. Sitting with it. Writing it down. Saying out loud - this hurt, and it mattered, and I am still here.That is what this poem is. A companion for the gap. Something to sit with you in the in-between.If this landed somewhere real in you, I want you to know you are not alone in the gap.And if you are feeling stuck in a way that goes beyond grief, if you have been waiting to find your way back to yourself for a while now, I have been building something for exactly that.30 Days to Unstuck is a daily audio series. Five minutes each morning. Thirty days. This is for the person who knows they are meant for more and just needs to find their way back.It is not a productivity programme. It is not about doing more.

June 2026 consultations available to book here https://mastermygarden.com/consultation/You can spend months staring at your garden and still not know what to do first, especially after a new build, a renovation, or a big change in how you want to use the space. We're sharing a short, practical announcement episode about a service we've brought back: online garden consultations that help you move from ideas to a clear, doable plan.We explain exactly what you get from a one-hour-ish Zoom garden consultation, including a simple pre-call questionnaire to clarify your goals, what's blocking you, and the budget you're working with.

Today, we are tackling a topic not spoken about enough. Couples spend so much time preparing for the birth of their first child that they fail to prepare for the permanent life transition that finally hits them weeks after. This can cause major strain on a relationship. Today, we are joined by Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Emily Musgrove. She is a Melbourne-based clinical psychologist, author of the book Unstuck, and the resident psychologist on The Imperfects. She has worked in private practice and tertiary settings for over a decade and is known for making psychology accessible, practical, and compassionate.

Your girl is in one of the most transformative seasons of her life - including my Saturn return gettin' started, a complete identity unraveling (back to 'factory settings' and who I really am), and (yay happy news!!)- getting engaged. And in the midst of it allll since last Fall, I realized something I never saw coming: I had become so good at optimizing my life/success that I accidentally optimized myself out of my true 100% genuine self expression & joy. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the surprising subconscious patterns that shaped my ambition, how/why my body started speaking louder than my mind ever could, and the profound difference between your survival identity and your true essence. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of fully living it, or existing too in your 'head' and the 'strategy' of it all instead of the authentic pleasure of this life experience for the sake of LIFE ITSELF, this conversation will help you come home to the version of you that is TRUEST.  PSSST - some serious breakthough questions at the end of this episode for ya, GRAB YOUR JOURNAL!!!!!   ⭐️  Join us in Dreamaway TO TAP ON THISSSS (see below) + for so many resources to help you get UNSTUCK including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive tapping sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway I ALWAYS KNEW: From Who You Had to Be, to Who You Always Were | Saturday, June 20th 1:00-2:30pm ET This session is about returning to YOU. Not the optimized version of you… not your 'survival identity' who learned to perform, succeed, people-please, shape-shift, or stay palatable. We're talkin' the REAL you. The one who has existed underneath all the conditioning the entire time and looks a lot like your preteen self, dreaming big for your beautiful life.   We're going deep on the subtle identities we unconsciously built in order to be loved, chosen, safe, impressive, productive, "good," or successful… and clearing the exhaustion of carrying versions of yourself that were never fully true. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to disconnect from our natural desires, our creativity, our softness, our weirdness, our joy, our bigness, our voice in order to 'win approval' or 'stay safe'. This session is the return…. And the reactivation of best case scenario future envisioning, on YOUR unique terms. No one else's. Time to step back onto your custom blueprint life timeline and experience more success and bliss than ever as a result.

If you've been struggling with OCD or anxiety for a long time and feel like nothing is working, this episode may reveal why. Matt Codde, LCSW explains why self-rejection is one of the most overlooked barriers to healing, and how learning to be more loving toward yourself is not a self-help cliche, but a clinical cornerstone of lasting OCD recovery.This episode applies to anyone dealing with OCD, anxiety, chronic pain, or any pattern of internal resistance. Whether you are in active ERP therapy or just beginning to understand your OCD cycle, the message here is one that most people have never heard in quite this way.If you have spent years trying to eliminate thoughts, manage anxiety, or "get better" before giving yourself permission to rest, recover, or even feel okay, this one is for you. Matt walks through the specific ways people with OCD are unloving to themselves without realizing it, and what the path toward integration and true healing actually looks like

Send us Fan MailThere's a calm, grounded version of you that you trust and then there's the version that shows up when pressure hits and you don't even feel like you chose it. We're Marc and Teresa, and we're digging into why that happens, how your brain grabs familiar stories under stress, and how to close the gap between who you are in comfort and who you want to be when it counts.We talk about how identity labels trap us (“I'm just an angry person”), why reactions are often a perspective problem rather than a discipline problem, and how one split-second thought can hijack your tone, your leadership presence, and your relationships. Mark shares an embarrassing but honest breaking point story that became a lifelong reminder: the issue isn't knowing better, it's that “knowing” stops working when emotion takes the wheel.From leadership coaching to parenting to marriage, we break down why you can be composed with a client yet reactive with family, how belief systems and expectations shape your default, and why chasing tactics and scripts won't fix an internal mindset issue. We also introduce the idea of capacity: the skill of holding competing priorities and choosing your response on purpose. You'll walk away with a simple question to use in real time: “How can I be most effective right now?”If this helps, subscribe to Modern Leadership Coaching, share it with someone who leads under pressure, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Steve and I share the process we both come back to whenever we find ourselves stuck. Whether it's our health, our relationship, our business, money, or life in general, we've found that getting unstuck isn't usually about finding the perfect answer. It's about being willing to face the truth.The first thing we do is face reality. Not the reality we wish we were living, but the one we're actually in. We look honestly at what's hurting, what's frustrating us, what's not working, and where we might be contributing to our own stuckness. It's not always comfortable, but we've learned that pretending, avoiding, blaming, or wishing things were different only keeps us exactly where we are.Once we've acknowledged reality, we ask ourselves a simple question: What would I prefer instead? What kind of relationship do I want to be in? What kind of health do I want to experience? What kind of business, finances, or life do I want to create? Rather than focusing on what's wrong, we start getting clear on where we'd like to head.From there, we look for the next best step. Not the entire roadmap. Not the next twelve months. Just the next step that moves us a little closer to where we'd like to be.But here's where it gets interesting.The practical steps are rarely the hardest part. The hardest part is managing the stories that show up the moment we decide to move. The sabotage brigade arrives. The voice that says it's too late, too hard, too risky, or that nothing will change anyway. The stories that tell us we'll fail, look foolish, waste our time, or end up right back where we started.In our experience, getting unstuck isn't really about motivation. It's about learning how to recognise those stories without handing them the steering wheel.This conversation is about facing reality, creating a vision for something better, and taking one step at a time. Because being stuck isn't the problem. The problem is believing the stories that convince you to stay there.1:1 COACHINGOne-time 75 minute coaching call - secure your spot hereRead my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Brian breaks down the two real paths to buying a business with zero dollars out of pocket, why the one the internet obsesses over is a trap for most buyers, and the exact strategy he's used personally and helped hundreds of people execute.Brian covers:Why 100% seller financing is possible but wildly misrepresented online, and what the gurus skip when they pitch itHow the SBA + capital partner model actually works and why it's the path real acquisition entrepreneurs useWhat a capital partner actually wants from you, and how to present yourself to get fundedWhy $30,000 to $50,000 in reserves is the real minimum before you pursue your first acquisitionThe exact due diligence costs you need to budget for (buy-side lawyer, quality of earnings report) and why skipping them is a catastrophic mistakeHow 35% of Action Academy's 650+ member community is actively deploying capital into other members' deals right nowThe goal isn't to buy a business for zero. The goal is to buy the right business, structured the right way, without blowing up your family's financial stability in the process.If you want to leave corporate America in the next 6-18 months - you should check out our Action Academy Community

If you've been living with OCD, anxiety, or chronic fear, you may have been telling yourself that now just isn't the right time to fully commit to recovery. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW shares a perspective that goes beyond symptom management — one that asks a deeper, more honest question: what are you actually prioritizing over your own healing, and why?Matt explores how fear isn't just a clinical symptom to be eliminated, but a signal calling you toward the most important inner work of your life. Whether you've been stuck in survival mode, oscillating between stable and overwhelmed, or quietly wondering if real recovery is even possible for you — this episode is for you.This conversation moves into spiritually oriented territory, exploring what it means to grow beyond the ego, confront what's blocking love and peace within you, and understand why facing fear is not just about feeling better — it's about becoming who you're meant to be.

AI is delivering pockets of productivity, but far less business value than expected. In this episode of Gartner ThinkCast, Distinguished VP Analyst Fran Karamouzis explores why so much AI ROI remains stuck inside organizations, never reaching the bottom line. While many leaders expect gains in individual productivity to translate directly into financial outcomes, legacy processes, siloed structures and outdated operating models often prevent that value from scaling. In a preview of a recent standout webinar, you'll hear what it really takes to unlock measurable impact — from rethinking how work flows across teams, to redesigning end‑to‑end processes, and leading the organizational change required to make AI stick.   You'll learn: Why productivity gains alone don't guarantee financial returns Where AI value gets trapped inside workflows and operating models How to redesign work around end‑to‑end outcomes, not individual tasks What it takes to lead organizational change and consistently convert AI into ROI   Dig deeper: Register to watch the full "Value is Trapped" webinar Learn how to prove quantifiable value from AI See why Gartner is the world authority on AI

In this episode of Mind the Kids, the podcast from the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH), host Dr. Clara Faria — academic clinical fellow in child psychiatry — is joined by Professor Lauren Kenworthy, Division Chief, Neuropsychology Director, Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders Pediatric Neuropsychologist, at the Children's National Hospital, based in Washington DC.Professor Kenworthy shares findings from her landmark study, 'Executive Function Challenges Persist into Young Adulthood and Predict Mental Health Outcomes in Autism', published in JCPP — ACAMH's flagship peer-reviewed journal. Drawing on over 300 autistic individuals and more than 900 observations spanning ages 2 to 25, this is one of the most comprehensive longitudinal investigations into executive function trajectories and mental health outcomes in autism to date.The episode unpacks what executive functions are — the brain-based cognitive abilities governing flexibility, working memory, and impulse control — and why they matter so profoundly for the mental health of autistic young people. With approximately 70% of autistic children and 63% of autistic adults experiencing mental health challenges at any given time, Professor Kenworthy explains why understanding the relationship between executive dysfunction and depression and anxiety in autism is not just academically important, but urgent.Among the most striking findings: executive function challenges — particularly cognitive inflexibility — remain clinically elevated from early childhood all the way through young adulthood, persisting even in young people who have had access to clinical support. Anxiety symptoms worsen significantly for autistic girls, with measurable divergence from their male peers emerging around age 12 — a finding with major implications for autism diagnosis, gender differences in autism, and targeted mental health intervention.Professor Kenworthy also shares her work developing Unstuck and On Target, a school-based executive function intervention designed to be delivered by educators — not just clinicians — addressing the urgent need for scalable, real-world, evidence-based autism support in schools. The conversation covers participatory research, the 12-year evidence-to-implementation gap, the limits of existing interventions including ABA, and why autistic voices must be central to the future of autism research and intervention design.Essential listening for clinicians, researchers, educators, and anyone with a stake in autism mental health, early intervention, and neurodevelopmental research.Read the paper 'Executive function challenges persist into young adulthood and predict mental health outcomes in autism' https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.70149Lauren Kenworthy, Lauren Baczewski, Alan H.

If you've tried ERP, meditation, supplements, and every tool you can find but still feel stuck, the problem likely isn't the tools. It's the belief you're bringing to them. In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down why approaching OCD and anxiety recovery from a "fix the problem" mindset actually reinforces the cycle and what to do instead.Most people with intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, and anxiety come at recovery from a place of internal resistance, a belief that their thoughts and feelings are wrong, broken, or bad. But that belief is the root of the loop. Matt explains how the Triple-A Response™ and tools like ERP are designed not to eliminate thoughts and feelings, but to create non-resistance, so that emotion can move through the nervous system naturally and completely.This episode reframes what recovery actually looks like and how to measure real progress. If you've been asking "why am I not getting better?" this episode will shift how you understand the work entirely.

Send us Fan MailYou can be the kind of person who runs toward the work and still feel trapped in the same loop. That tension is what we unpack here: why smart, driven leaders and coaches can read the books, hire the mentors, try the strategies, and still hit the same wall. When effort doesn't produce change, it usually isn't a willpower problem. It's a “wrong level” problem.We dig into the difference between technical problems (what to do) and adaptive problems (how you think, what you believe, and who you are being while you do it). We talk about how subconscious beliefs quietly protect you by keeping you safe, how your brain collects evidence after a decision to prove you were right, and why that can lock in patterns even when you're taking constant action. If you've ever found yourself spiralling into “maybe I'm not good enough” after trying everything, you'll recognise exactly what we're pointing to.We also share what changed for us when we realised we were trying to fix a messaging problem that wasn't the real issue, and why conversations that get to the root can outperform automation when your best work is human.

Most rental property investors are working off the wrong math. The internet says five to ten properties will replace your income. The real number is closer to 40 - and once you see why, everything changes.Brian covers:Why $200 a month per door is the honest number most investors don't want to acceptThe 2D framework: why the investors who replace their income focus on dollars per move, not doorsHow Sierra quit her six figure job using note investing at 12 to 15% annual returnsWhy one self storage deal can create $250,000 in forced equity that rentals never couldThe three T's: target, timeline, and trade offs every investor needs to work throughWhy shifting vehicles compresses a 20 year rental timeline into a single acquisitionIf you are serious about building a life on your terms and want to surround yourself with people who are actually doing it, go to: https://actionacademy.com?el=action_academy_podcastIf you want to leave corporate America in the next 6-18 months - you should check out our Action Academy Community

Getting from survival to stable in OCD recovery is real, hard-won progress — and it deserves to be celebrated. But staying in that "I'm fine" zone for too long comes with a hidden cost that most people don't see until they're sliding back toward survival mode.In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW explains why stabilizing is only the beginning — and what happens when you don't keep moving forward. If you've been feeling like you've improved but there's still something missing, this episode is for you.Whether you're navigating OCD, anxiety, or emotional avoidance patterns, this is the conversation that will help you understand what real, lasting recovery actually looks like — and why settling for "okay" keeps you from experiencing what's truly possible.

The Hidden Cost of Waiting: Why Wellness Practitioners Stay Stuck (and the Decision Matrix That Gets You Unstuck)Episode description (SEO):Let me guess — you're a wellness practitioner with a wealth of ideas and maybe even an online program idea living in your Notes app that you just can't seem to act on. You're not lazy. You're not unqualified. You're waiting. And waiting has a cost most practitioners never add up until they're three years down the road and nothing has changed.In this episode, Alison breaks down why not deciding is still a decision — and what it's actually costing you every single season you push it off. If you've been telling yourself "next quarter," "after the summer," "once things calm down," this one is for you. Hit play if you're ready to stop waiting and start building.In this episode:Why waiting isn't neutral — and the real price you're paying for every season you stay where you areWhy waiting doesn't always look like waiting — the disguises it wears so you don't have to call it what it isThe 4-Quadrant Decision Matrix that gets you out of your head and into a real choice — so the idea finally leaves the Notes appKey takeaways:Indecision is expensive. The cost just shows up later, quietly, and all at once."I'm not ready" is usually "I haven't decided" wearing a more respectable outfit.You don't need more certainty to move. You need a framework that makes the choice for you.Ready to actually build the thing?Tomorrow I'm hosting my free webinar, Replace Your In-Person Clinic Salary Online — where I'll show you exactly how skilled practitioners are building scalable online income beyond the treatment table.

Send us Fan MailYou can feel it starting: a comment lands wrong, your chest tightens, your mind races, and even while you're watching it happen you still can't stop the explosion. Marc unpacks why that experience isn't a character flaw and isn't a lack of self-awareness. It's your brain doing what it was trained to do over years: follow the strongest, most familiar pathway to keep you safe, even when it costs you connection, confidence, and leadership presence. We walk through what the “spiral” actually feels like on the inside, why “here we go again” becomes a self-fulfilling loop, and why trying to fix the behavior is often fixing the wrong problem. The real leverage point is earlier: the story your brain assigns to a neutral situation, the emotion that story creates in your body, and the reaction that follows. When the story is “they don't respect me” or “I can't do this,” your nervous system responds like it's under threat, and your old pattern runs on autopilot. You'll also hear what separates people who eventually break the pattern from people who stay stuck, why affirmations rarely take hold when an old belief feels like truth, and how unconscious beliefs quietly drive your reactions without you noticing. We talk about the deeper work of reprogramming: pausing, reflecting, choosing a new perspective on purpose, and getting support from someone who can spot what you can't see. If you want help finding your root belief, take the quiz at modoleadership.us/quiz and reach out for the free 20-minute call.

In this episode, Brian Luebben breaks down the exact framework he has used to work six months a year while building a business doing over $10 million in revenue.Brian covers:Why both corporate America and traditional entrepreneurship broke himThe two seasons every high performer needs: acceleration and navigationHow reverse goal setting and Parkinson's Law make him more productive in less timeWhat his actual calendar looks like and how he knows when to switch seasonsWhy navigation is not vacation and how to tell the differenceHow to apply this framework whether you have a nine to five, young kids, or a growing businessThis is one of the most honest conversations Brian has had about how he actually structures his life and business - and why the finish line is never coming. Curious as to how we've bought multiple businesses and built millions in equity?

Send us Fan MailYou can be disciplined, self-aware, and deeply committed to growth and still feel like you are living the same week on repeat. That is exactly why we recorded this bonus conversation: to go inside our Growth Model and hand you a practical piece of the “how” you can use today, not just the theory.We break down why getting stuck is usually not a motivation problem or a knowledge problem. It is an unconscious perspective running in the background, often built from old pre-programming, that quietly drives your emotions, your energy, your actions and your results. We explain how the brain is designed to keep you safe and automate patterns, why it focuses on what is broken, wrong or missing, and how that creates an unconscious loop that keeps reinforcing itself.Then we teach the five-part Growth Model in plain language: reality, perspective, emotion, response and results. We walk through the four levels of self-coaching, from blaming the outside world, to taking ownership and shaming yourself, to interrupting the pattern in a micro moment, and finally to reprogramming so the new response becomes automatic. We also do a step-by-step example using a common trigger: the alarm goes off, you want to work out, and your mind says “I'm exhausted.” You will hear exactly how to shift the perspective so the emotion changes, the response changes, and the result starts moving.If you have ever tried accountability, new routines, or another program and still felt stuck, this will give you a clearer diagnosis and a cleaner next step.

If you've been doing the work on your OCD or anxiety and you're no longer in crisis — that's real progress. But if you still feel like you're just 'managing' or waiting for the next episode to hit, this video is for you. Most people with OCD and anxiety move between Stage 1 (Surviving) and Stage 2 (Stabilizing) their whole lives — never realizing that Stages 3 and 4 even exist.In this episode, Matt Codde, LCSW, breaks down the four real internal stages of recovery — not just symptom management, but the complete journey from surviving panic and fear loops all the way to a life of trust, expansion, and genuine freedom. He explains why settling at Stage 2 actually leads to relapse, and what the path from Stage 2 to Stage 4 looks like in practice.This isn't about toxic positivity or telling you recovery is easy. It's a clear, honest map of what real recovery looks like — and a challenge to stop settling for 'good enough' when you're capable of living free.

Send us Fan MailSomeone comes to you stuck and you can feel the pressure to say the perfect thing. You reach for advice, a pep talk, or a quick solution, and somehow it still doesn't help. We name what's really happening: you're not failing because you don't care enough or because you “aren't confident.” You're missing a repeatable coaching skill for hard conversations, and most of us were never trained to build it.Marc unpacks what “winging it” looks like from the inside and why, under stress, we fall back to muscle memory. We talk about the common trap of becoming a consultant or cheerleader, how that can accidentally create limiting beliefs, and why strong leadership coaching relies on questions that reveal what's driving behavior. We also draw a bright line between guiding and controlling: you can be asking questions and still steer the person toward your preferred answer with leading prompts that plant the wrong story.You'll hear how this skill translates across roles, whether you're a manager, a parent, or a coach, and why having a simple process (like a growth model approach) changes your presence. When you know what you're doing, people feel it, trust it, and take action.

No matter where you are in your faith journey, you are one step from unstuck. In this message, we look at four spiritual starting points that show up throughout Scripture — and what it looks like to take the next step from each one. Some of us want Jesus nearby but not in control. Some of us believe, but are wrestling with doubt at the same time. Some of us are still asking questions, circling the edges of faith. And some of us carry the weight of a past failure, convinced our worst moment defines us. The good news is that none of these starting points disqualify you. Felix, the father in Mark 9, Nicodemus, and Peter all show us that God meets people exactly where they are — and invites them forward. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. Faith and struggle can exist in the same heart simultaneously. At some point, faith requires a step. And your worst moment does not have to become your permanent identity. Wherever you're starting from today, the next step is closer than you think.

In this episode, Brian Luebben breaks down the exact business philosophy he stole from Walt Disney's 1957 mind map and used to build a portfolio of companies now doing over $15 million per year. Brian walks through his own mind map live - the one he drew in 2023 before making his first dollar in business - and shows how Action Academy, Sexton World, Sexton Hospitality, and his business and real estate fund all connect and feed each other like a flywheel. Plus, he shares the "plant trees, manage orchards" framework that changed how he thinks about building and scaling businesses for the long term.Curious as to how we've bought multiple businesses and built millions in equity?

If you've been using ERP or the Triple-A Response and still feel stuck, this episode explains why. Matt Codde, LCSW breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in OCD and anxiety recovery: the difference between chasing a future free of intrusive thoughts versus ascending to a higher level of consciousness where those thoughts lose their grip.Most people in OCD recovery are secretly operating from a cause-and-effect loop: "If I eliminate the thoughts, I'll eliminate the anxiety." Matt explains why this Newtonian paradigm keeps you oscillating in the same cycle — and why recovery only becomes possible when you stop treating it as a destination and start treating it as a shift in consciousness.Using Einstein's principle that you can't solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it, this episode reframes the entire goal of recovery tools like ERP and the Triple-A Response — and shows you what it actually looks like when they start working.

Send us Fan MailYou can be disciplined, coachable, and genuinely hungry to grow and still feel like nothing is changing. That's the kind of stuck we're tackling here: the version that hides under effort, learning, and nonstop action, then quietly turns every new idea into the same old wall.We walk through why most high performers assume the issue is strategy, then keep cycling through tactics, tools, and advice. But when you're doing “all the right things” and the outcome stays the same, the real constraint is often underneath the surface. We talk about how we spot that as coaches by listening beyond the words and treating stuck as an adaptive challenge, not a technical problem. We also share a powerful concept from Wealthy and Well Known: you're best equipped to help the person you used to be, and getting clear on that can sharpen your message and your impact.From there we get practical about what's really running the show: subconscious belief patterns that act like outdated software. We unpack examples like “I'm not enough” and “Everything depends on me,” how they can drive overcommitting, weak boundaries, reactive leadership, and confidence issues, and why even great advice can miss the point if the root isn't identified. You'll also hear a simple reflection prompt to uncover where you've tried the most but moved the least, plus what it actually takes to reprogram the pattern through reps and consistent support.If this hits home, listen through, share it with a friend who's stuck in the hustle loop, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.
