From launching my business in 2019 as a total social media avoider, to now running a globally downloaded podcast and coaching high-performing introverts, my approach to visibility has evolved a lot. And being visible as a business owner in 2025 is very different to how it was even just a few years ago.This episode isn't about algorithms or trends. It's about being intentional with how and where you show up, based on YOUR business and clients.I dive into:Why visibility means different things at different stages of businessHow your energy, not the algorithm, should determine where you show upThe difference between reach-based visibility vs. relationship-based visibilityWhy “going viral” doesn't always lead to clients (and what does)What I've learned about deep content - and how it builds long-term trustThe #1 question I ask clients who feel drained by content creationIf you've ever wondered whether your version of visibility is enough, or if you're trying to find a more sustainable way to be seen, I hope these unfiltered thoughts spark something for you!CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only emails, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?

Let's talk about a moment you'll face in entrepreneurship the opportunity that pays, but doesn't align. You know the feeling, it's money you could use, but something just doesn't sit right.We'll explore why your resistance to a "good opportunity" is actually your higher standards speaking, how to discern between decisions that are risk-calculated versus fear-based, and the true cost of accepting things below your standard (spoiler: it's not just about the money). I'll also share how entrepreneurs are alchemists who can turn any experience into profit—and why that means we get to be selective about what we accept.Key Topics Covered:Why resistance to an opportunity might mean your standards have levelled upThe trade-off trap: what you're really saying no to when you accept below-standard workHow to know if an opportunity serves your vision or drains your energyThe difference between fear-based decisions and discernment-based decisionsThree framework questions to ask yourself before accepting ANY opportunity • Why saying no is actually a declaration of your valueThe entrepreneur's secret weapon: turning experiences into content and profitRisk tolerance and the freedom that comes with strategic patienceReal-world example: the workshop with a $100 budget vs. your $500 speaking feeTIMESTAMPS:0:00:00 - Intro: The Opportunity Dilemma0:01:00 - You're Being Tested as You Level Up0:02:00 - The Real Question: Why Does This Not Feel Right?0:03:00 - The Burnout Trap: Loving How Every Dollar is Made0:04:00 - The Past Self vs. Expert Self: Setting Standards0:05:00 - Risk Tolerance & the Power of Saying No0:09:00 - The Decision Framework: Three Questions to Ask Yourself0:11:00 - The Real Story: Why Discernment Matters More Than Desperation

Come with us for a wander through the fertile grounds of possibility with James McLennon, the visionary behind Farm My School. Todays ep unearths how a patch of school soil can become so much more than a playground—it can nourish bodies, minds, and entire communities. From the thriving farm at Bellarine Secondary College to the ripple effects it's having on students, neighbours, and local food systems, James shares how education and regeneration can thrive side by side.

From Lonely to Angry: Understanding Incels (And How Good Men Lose Their Way)Some men don't start off angry. They start off lonely. Rejected. Invisible. Neglected in childhood.But when the pain festers long enough, it turns into something darker: the incel mindset.In this raw and unflinching episode, Faisal, Chuck, and Ari dive into one of the internet's most controversial subcultures — involuntary celibates (incels). These are men who want relationships but can't get them, and the frustration has curdled into isolation, shame, and sometimes rage.But here's what most people miss: Incels share many traits with Nice Guys. Both crave connection yet fear rejection. Both seek approval from women and feel powerless when they don't get it. The difference? Nice Guys hide their resentment. Incels express it — just not face-to-face.In this episode, we explore:What incels actually are (and why this phenomenon is growing)The mental health crisis: depression, anxiety, and isolationWhy some men didn't procreate throughout history (evolutionary psychology perspective)How the internet created echo chambers that trap lonely menFaisal's powerful story of coaching an incel — and what he learnedThe victim mindset: Why identifying as "involuntarily celibate" keeps you stuckThe "black pill" belief system and incel terminology (Chads, Staceys, and nihilism)How Nice Guys and incels differ: Hope vs. giving upThe generational shift: Why young men aren't pursuing relationships like they used toEconomic reality: When you can't afford independence, relationships feel impossibleChuck's controversial take: Is sex really the answer? (Spoiler: No)Why comparison culture and social media poison your soulThe trap of expecting life to hand you perfectionHow resentment and victimhood become a prisonThe hard truth? Being an incel isn't involuntary. It's a choice to stay stuck in resentment, victimhood, and isolation. There IS a path forward — but it requires rejecting the black pill, doing the work, and choosing growth over bitterness.This isn't about attacking incels. It's about understanding how good men lose their way — and showing them there's another path. One that leads to connection, purpose, and power.If you're stuck, isolated, or angry at the world — this episode is for you.Like. Comment. Subscribe. And share this with someone who needs to know: You're not powerless. You're not doomed. There's a way out.P.S. — Yes, we had technical difficulties with Faisal's internet.

Ever have a “what were we thinking?” moment that turned out better than you imagined? Today, we're taking you behind the scenes of our State of Women Conference—how it started as a half-day workshop with one attendee (camera off!) and grew into a sold-out, life-giving event four years running.

Let's talk about the part of success no one wants to talk about.In this episode I crack open the curated myth of success — and share the truth I've come to learn (the hard way): success is hard. Not because you're doing it wrong, but because this is what it actually takes.We explore the difference between chasing the “ego flex” vs. building something sustainable, and why resilience, not just results, is what truly defines long-term success.I'm sharing:The emotional cost of success no one shows on social mediaWhat it really takes to build a business, marriage, or family that lastsWhy so many people quit — and how to keep showing upThe quieter Q3 I've been navigating, and what it's taught me about money, mindset, and momentum

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth dives deep into the truth about osteoporosis—and why it's not just about weak bones.Get the full lecture notes Most people think osteoporosis only affects bone strength, but the reality is far more complex. Inside your bones lives your bone marrow, the powerful engine that creates stem cells, red blood cells, and immune cells. When bone health declines, so does your immune system.What You'll Learn:Why bone loss starts silently and how chronic inflammation speeds it upThe link between bone marrow and immune health—and why both weaken togetherHow inflammation and aging cause “marrow fat” buildup, leading to more diseaseWhat “inflammaging” really means and how it drives chronic illnessThe truth about bone density scans (DEXA) and what they missHow new lab tests like the CTX blood marker reveal early bone lossThe Functional Medicine approach to reversing inflammation and restoring bone marrow functionWhy women in perimenopause and menopause face faster bone decline—and how to fight back naturallyKey Takeaways:Your bone marrow makes your immune system.Chronic inflammation destroys both bone and immunity.Bone marrow fat = weaker health and faster aging.Functional medicine looks at the root cause, not just the bone density number.You can rebuild bone strength and immune power naturally with the right strategy.Tune in and learn how your bones are more alive than you think — and how protecting your marrow could be the key to living strong for life.To schedule a Zoom consultation, visit www.DrHughWegwerth.com

In this episode, Coach Mark Carroll dives deep into the reality behind achieving big goals — it's not always easy, and it's not meant to be.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Professor Nick Titov—a giant in digital mental health and founder of MindSpot, Australia's leading digital psychology service that has reached over 250,000 Australians.If you've ever wondered whether therapy has to look the way it's always looked, this conversation will shake up everything you thought you knew.Nick isn't just innovating patient care—he's challenging the profession to wake up and adapt. We're living through a seismic shift. Consumer behaviour is changing. The workforce is shrinking. AI is here. And if therapists don't get a seat at the table, we risk becoming irrelevant.This episode is for every therapist who's felt trapped by the traditional model, burnt out by one-to-one limitations, or curious about what the future holds.Here's what we cover:Why digital mental health isn't just for "low-level" cases—and how MindSpot serves complex clients who have nowhere else to turnThe assumptions Nick's team demolished: that therapy requires face-to-face contact, that therapists need decades of experience, that you must treat depression before anxietyHow MindSpot Academy is training the next generation in digital-first care—and why universities aren't keeping upThe threat (and opportunity) of AI—and what therapists must do now to demonstrate our valueNick's "2,815 days left" philosophy and his mission to get prevention into the cultural consciousnessWhy workforce upskilling can't wait—and how to future-proof your career3 Powerful Takeaways:1. Innovation doesn't wait for permission. Nick built the evidence, proved it worked, and created a national service helping hundreds of thousands. If you're waiting for the system to change, you'll be left behind.2. Your value proposition is up for negotiation. AI delivers psychoeducation. Apps track symptoms. What can you do that technology can't? Get clear on your value—or risk obsolescence.3. The future is blended, scalable, and prevention-focused. One-to-one therapy will always have a place—but it can't be the only model. Master multiple modalities: digital tools, teletherapy, group programs.

“If you're not listening to your customers, to your students, to your users, then you run the risk of using generic best practices that work in situation X, but might totally face plant in situation Y." - Elliot FelixIs the future of higher education about piling on more programs, services, and systems, or about focusing on what truly helps students succeed? And how often do colleges and universities leap to solutions before asking what students actually need?In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I sit down with Elliot Felix, author of The Connected College, to explore what higher ed leaders - and really, leaders everywhere - can learn about breaking silos, designing better student experiences, and leading through complexity and change. Elliot brings stories from campuses across the country, along with practical tools and a fresh way of thinking about leadership.You'll hear us discuss:Why “less with more” helps institutions focus resources on what makes the biggest difference for studentsHow everyday habits of prioritization create clarity for leaders, faculty, and staffThe double diamond framework and how defining the right problem first improves student outcomesWhat design thinking looks like when universities listen to students and design around their experienceHow prototyping new programs can reduce risk and build confidence before scaling upThe danger of overwhelming faculty and staff with too much information, and how to strike a healthier balanceThe leadership myth Elliot once believed and how working with students and campuses changed his perspectiveResourcesElliot Felix on the Web | The Connected College Book | The Connected College Podcast | LinkedInWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

This episode takes you behind the scenes of my life—beyond the strategies and business talk I usually share. From the emotional rollercoaster of dropping Bryce off at college, to slowing down at the beach, to caring for my mom, and even navigating the unexpected chaos of family sports, this summer stretched me in ways I didn't see coming. Out of it all came seven powerful lessons that shifted how I see life, business, and what truly matters.

We've all heard the phrase new levels, new devils. For years, people have spun it like success comes with constant battles. But here's the truth: it's not about punishment, it's about perspective.Every new level isn't some curse waiting to knock you down—it's just a new chapter that calls for a new mindset. Each upgrade in your life demands a fresh way of thinking, a story you have to rewrite, and a version of you that's ready to handle it with power.In this episode, I break down what new levels, new devils really means, and how to stop bracing for chaos and start leaning into growth.Why the old meaning of new levels, new devils keeps you smallHow to reframe challenges as invitations to level upThe mindset shifts that actually carry you higherMy personal take on breaking through “devils” at every stage

Description:The number one thing is relationships – we've all heard that. It's almost a meme. I think “the power of relationships” as an idea exists as two extremes where we tend to over emphasize and at the same time fail to appreciate the full power of relationships. I'm not sure I'm communicating what I mean, but I think it will become clearer in my discussion with today's wonderful guest.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

What are the foundational pieces of building relationships?How does this translate for APs? How can they use your techniques to build bridges with their teachers.2025 seems fundamentally different than the first 24 years of this century.

Send us a textIn this Wisdom Wednesday episode, I'm getting real about one of the most underrated growth hacks: solitude. If you've ever felt torn between locking in and going out, this episode is for you.I break down why your fear of being alone might be the very thing holding you back from reaching your full potential. From my own experience—dropping out of college during a pandemic, working two jobs, and grinding for my real estate license—I share how isolation became the launchpad for massive growth in my 20s.Here's what you'll hear:The difference between loneliness and intentional solitudeWhy constant socializing could be slowing your successHow taking a “sprint season” in solitude gave me the clarity and discipline to level upThe importance of getting off the grid to tune in to your own voice (and maybe even hear from God)This isn't about being antisocial—it's about knowing when to retreat so you can come back stronger. If you're serious about chasing your goals, it's time to get comfortable being alone.

For years, investors got used to borrowing at low rates. But with interest costs climbing, many are now asking: is this the end of cheap money?In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down the “grey wave” theory — the idea that retiring baby boomers will reshape global savings and push interest rates higher. But does the data really support that? And what does it mean for property prices here in New Zealand?Listen in as we cover:Why some economists argue baby boomers will drive interest rates upThe evidence from Japan, and why it might point in the opposite directionWhat the Reserve Bank of NZ says about where interest rates are headed nextIf you want to understand what's really driving borrowing costs (and how it affects the housing market), this one's for you.Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠create your free Opes+ account here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.For more from Opes Partners:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the weekly Private Property newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
