In this profound and enlightening episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes the trailblazing entrepreneur and master storyteller, Jorge Olson, for an in-depth conversation that traverses borders, industries, and the very core of what it means to be resilient, innovative, and authentically driven. Titled “From Tijuana to Wall Street: Jorge Olson on Branding, Capital, and Entrepreneurial Grit,” this episode is not just a window into the highs and lows of startup life, but a masterclass in mindset, storytelling, and the relentless pursuit of creative freedom. Jorge Olson's journey reads like a modern hero's tale. Raised in impoverished conditions in Tijuana, Mexico—without running water or electricity—he grew up surrounded not by business plans, but by art, literature, and philosophy. Jorge shares how these formative years did not teach him about money, but gave him the more foundational qualities required for success: compassion, honesty, hard work, and above all, an insatiable hunger to change his circumstances. He candidly recalls hauling buckets of water as a child, rejecting the idea that poverty was his permanent reality, and forging a vision that would eventually span across borders. As the conversation unfolds, Jorge unpacks the evolution of his mindset from survival to success, culminating in his rise as an executive and his subsequent realization that financial achievement as an employee did not equate to true freedom. For Jorge, time and creativity—not just the grind—are the true currencies of freedom. This pivot to entrepreneurship, he explains, wasn't just about making money, but about crafting a life where daily pursuits of writing, art, and imagination could take center stage. Transparency about adversity threads deeply throughout the episode. Jorge openly discusses the impact of a traumatic brain injury that dramatically altered his capability, drive, and self-perception. From leading companies and clocking marathon days at trade shows, he was forced to reconstruct his routines and ambitions around limited physical and mental energy. Yet, rather than succumbing to grief or limitation, Jorge reframed his priorities: making every hour, every creative act, every single interaction—not just sufficient, but deeply meaningful. This raw vulnerability becomes an uplifting call to listeners struggling with setbacks: You are not alone, and there is power in redefining what “winning” means. When it comes to branding, Jorge delivers actionable wisdom rooted in decades of success launching over a thousand products and taking five companies public. He advocates for an outcome-driven process, starting with the intended result and the customer avatar, before meticulously working backward through audience research, pricing, and emotional connection. He outlines practical branding strategies through real-world examples, such as his upcoming beverage brand, Calmara, aimed at fans of meditation, anime, and Japanese culture. The secret sauce? Forging emotional resonance through storytelling, community engagement, and delivering experiences that turn customers into brand advocates. Jorge doesn't shy away from the hard truths behind raising capital, either. He reveals what truly moves investors: a compelling story, not just financial projections. He stresses the importance of knowing your target investor, crafting kitchen-table pitches for early-stage deals, practicing your delivery, and never relying on empty clichés like “capturing 1% of a massive market.” Jorge recounts common pitch failures—such as obsessing over NDAs and lack of preparation—and emphasizes that founders must know their numbers inside-out and be able to articulate a realistic, ambitious, and credible vision. A hallmark of this episode is its exploration of creativity and execution. Jorge describes his process of managing multiple ventures, writing several books simultaneously, and treating every project as a canvas for creative growth. Having endured life-altering physical limitations, he now balances relentless creative output with strict physical therapy, nutritional discipline, and mindful routines, all while amplifying his impact as a mentor and a master of personal branding. Listeners are also treated to entertaining and insightful behind-the-scenes stories about collaborating with celebrities like Dennis Rodman, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg on product launches. Jorge demystifies what distinguishes celebrity projects from regular entrepreneurial ventures—often, less ego and more trust in the experts around them—and highlights the speed, professionalism, and storytelling prowess required to succeed at scale. As the episode nears its close, Jorge and Wize's conversation moves to legacy—a topic both personal and universal. Jorge aspires to leave an indelible mark through his books, ensuring that his strategies, philosophy, and inspiration reach minorities and future entrepreneurs in both the US and Mexico. Wize, meanwhile, vulnerably shares his own hero's journey through loss, trauma, and reinvention, echoing the episode's core messages of resilience and purposeful living. “From Tijuana to Wall Street” is far more than an interview—it is a narrative tapestry woven from the struggles and triumphs of those who refuse to accept the limits set before them. Through Jorge Olson's lived experience and candid advice, listeners of all backgrounds—be they aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, or anyone feeling ‘stuck'—will find motivation to push boundaries, embrace creative rituals, master the art of storytelling, and above all, make every moment count. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to transform adversity into achievement and craft a lasting legacy built on grit, impact, and authenticity.

Episode Description: Awakening the Healer Within – A Conversation with Cheryl Stelte In this extraordinary episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with visionary healer, author, and spiritual coach Cheryl Stelte for an inspiring journey into the world of holistic healing, self-empowerment, and awakening the healer within. Cheryl's unique blend of experience, wisdom, and authenticity radiates throughout the conversation, offering listeners practical tools, profound stories, and spiritual insights that speak to those seeking transformation, purpose, and a deeper connection to their authentic selves. From Tragedy to Transformation Cheryl opens up about the pivotal spiritual experience that changed her life—the day her deceased brother visited her in a profound moment of love and guidance on a beach in Western Canada. Through an impromptu kinesiology session, Cheryl encountered a “ball of white light” and received a clear message from her brother: to begin meditating as a way to connect with him and herself on a deeper level. This encounter set Cheryl on an unexpected spiritual path—one that would lead to discovering the life-changing power of meditation, breathwork, and inner healing. She candidly shares the struggle of being lost after such an event, navigating a world that thirty years ago was less receptive to meditation and spiritual exploration, and the perseverance that helped her sustain these practices over the decades. Navigating Darkness: Overcoming Depression with Spiritual Practice Delving into her personal journey through depression and moments of despair, Cheryl reveals how her spiritual practices, particularly meditation, became her medicine and lifeline. Through consistent meditation, she began to process years of emotional trauma and unexpressed pain—gradually moving from surviving to thriving, and ultimately exchanging antidepressants for transformative self-care. Cheryl's story underscores the importance of self-compassion, honoring our emotional wounds, and the power of spiritual practice in finding light through the darkest times. Azaria's Energy Healing: An Integration of Traditions Listeners are introduced to Cheryl's signature healing modality, Azaria's Energy Healing—a powerful synthesis of meditation, Sufi breathwork, shamanic practices, Reiki, and acupressure. Cheryl recounts her journey through various healing systems from around the globe, studying with masters and embracing techniques that focus on deep, root-level transformation. A unique aspect of her approach is her commitment to teaching others to heal themselves, fostering lasting empowerment. Cheryl shares stories of working with clients who experienced breakthroughs where “no one else could go as deep,” highlighting the profound nature of her work and her dedication to those truly ready for healing. Heart-Centered Shamanism: Journey Inward Cheryl introduces the concept of heart-centered shamanism—an approach that contrasts traditional shamanic practices. Instead of “leaving the body” for spiritual journeys, Cheryl teaches going inward: connecting with the heart, the soul, and the body's innate intelligence. Citing her experience reading chakras—where she identifies both the superpowers and the wounds within—Cheryl explains the transformative and protective power of remaining grounded in one's own body during healing work. Global Insights: Lessons from the Maasai and Samburu Drawing on her time living with the Maasai and Samburu tribes in Africa, Cheryl shares deeply moving observations about collective and individual experiences of love, survival, and the absence of emotional connection in some communities. She explains how the realization that love—and the ability to both give and receive it—is the foundation for abundance, healing, and true well-being. Cheryl's stories provide a rich, cross-cultural lens through which to understand spiritual connection and the universal longing for love. Becoming a Client Magnet: Energetics of Authenticity What does it mean to become a “client magnet”? Cheryl explains the energetic mechanics behind it: when you release internal blocks and align with your soul's purpose, you naturally radiate the energy that attracts those who are meant to work with you. The episode details practical cues and signs for noticing energetic blockages—like throat chakra issues manifesting as difficulties expressing one's truth, struggling to be heard, or fearing visibility—and how to recognize the genuine call to become a healer. Stuck in the Mind—Finding the Path Forward The conversation takes a beautifully vulnerable turn as Wize shares his own struggles with doubt and launching the podcast, resonating with listeners who've found themselves “stuck” and afraid to step into their unique greatness. Cheryl affirms that such fears often point to our biggest potential, echoing the importance of “getting out of the head and into the body.” The supportive banter between Cheryl and Wize illustrates the healing force of authentic connection and community. Integrating Spirituality and the Practical World Cheryl offers wisdom for those feeling spiritually awakened yet lost in the practical world, identifying key signs such as being ungrounded or experiencing the “dark night of the soul”—a developmental passage characterized by a profound sense of disconnection and surrender. She details how energy healing can help individuals release subconscious blocks rooted in childhood, without reliving trauma, and move into a place of true empowerment. Virtual Healing, Daily Rituals, and Cheryl's Vision Emphasizing the power and efficacy of virtual healing, Cheryl and Wize both reflect on their experiences with digital energy exchange, reinforcing the idea that true spiritual connection transcends physical proximity. Cheryl graciously shares her daily practices—decades of meditation, mindful walks, the Five Tibetan Rites, and yearly personal retreats—and stresses the importance of evolving rituals as one's journey unfolds. Cheryl's ultimate vision with the Star of Divine Light Institute is to help people recognize their authentic power, become empowered beyond belief, and awaken to their true selves as radiant beings of light. Resources, Books, and Continuing the Journey At the end of the episode, Cheryl highlights her three books: Heal Your Neck Issues and Let Your Throat Chakra Shine Client Magnet From Blocked to Powerful She invites listeners for chakra readings and to access free resources on her website: starofdivinelight.com, and encourages connecting with her on Instagram (@stelte.cheryl). Why You Should Listen This episode is a deep dive into the interplay between spirituality and real-world challenges, a blueprint for awakening the latent healer within, and a heartfelt reminder that even in our most “stuck” moments, transformation is possible. Whether you are on your own healing path, aspiring to work as a healer, or simply seeking inspiration to move past doubt and step into your purpose, this conversation promises to spark insight, hope, and renewed motivation. Tune in and join the Stuck In My Mind community for a conversation that might just awaken the healer—and the greatness—already inside you.

Episode Description: In this standout episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Augustic Dunbar—a no-nonsense lifestyle coach for men, founder of the King's Corner community, and proponent of unapologetic masculinity. With a reputation for helping men break limiting societal scripts and build lives of genuine freedom, Augustic brings his signature bold, unfiltered perspective to a conversation overflowing with insights on masculinity, money, mindset, and living life on your own terms. The episode kicks off with Wize challenging Augustic to reveal the precise moment he turned away from society's expectations. Augustic shares a raw, personal story about heartbreak, mentorship, and a pivotal lesson from his coach about self-reliance, compatibility, and the roots of embarrassment. He breaks down how truly knowing and accepting your human nature can dissolve negative emotions and free you from the burden of others' opinions. When it comes to masculinity, Augustic is unflinching. He dissects the idea of “king energy”—where self-respect and self-first living are non-negotiables—and recounts personal experiences that shape his views on relationships, gender roles, and the importance of men having clear standards and requirements. For Augustic, an “outstanding lifestyle” is defined by its inspirational power: living so audaciously that your life makes others marvel at what's possible and motivates them to chase their own dreams. He strongly believes most men settle for less due to fear of sacrifice and change, not lack of opportunity. Augustic doesn't shy away from controversial topics. He tackles a major lie men need to unlearn: the notion that relationships are built by catering to what women want at the expense of their own needs. Through sharp analogies and hard-earned wisdom, he asserts that true success in relationships—and life—comes when men are purpose-driven, self-aware, and prioritize their goals and standards. Shifting gears, Wize digs into Augustic's role as a tech coach. Augustic details his journey in the lucrative tech field, especially in RPA (Robotic Process Automation), demystifying why now is the best time for men to break into tech and scale their income, all while maintaining work-life balance and peace of mind. His philosophy? Build from a place of rest, not constant hustle, and set boundaries so you can enjoy both material success and personal well-being. The dialogue moves fluidly between practical advice and deeper, philosophical discussions. Augustic reflects on being a father from a young age and how parenthood shapes his values around leadership, authenticity, and legacy. He openly discusses vulnerability as a masculine strength, challenging stereotypes by sharing his own openness with emotions, and stresses the necessity for transparency and clear communication in male friendships and relationships. Faith and spirituality also make an appearance as Augustic explains his evolving beliefs—from forced church attendance as a child, to passionate atheism, and now to a more mature, nuanced appreciation of spiritual growth and self-improvement, grounded in universal principles and self-love. The societal landscape is a recurring theme, with Augustic and Wize analyzing why masculinity is often devalued or mislabeled as “toxic.” Augustic insists, with unwavering conviction, that both masculine and feminine energies are essential—and that true masculinity is about controlled power, not aggression or weakness. He sharply critiques trends that undermine male confidence, the demonization of traditional male roles, and the generational shift in relationship dynamics. Listeners are given a front-row seat to advice on reinvention, overcoming the fear of “starting late,” and the crucial role of quality male friendships. Augustic's answer to men feeling “behind”: progress, no matter how small, is the real source of happiness. The episode culminates in actionable takeaways. Augustic invites men to join King's Corner, a unique community for transparent discussion, growth, and reclaiming control over their lives—emphasizing that no matter what area of life men want to improve (career, relationships, self-confidence), the path starts with radical self-love and putting yourself first. With candid stories, vulnerable moments, and a relentless drive to uplift men, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in honest conversations about masculinity, self-mastery, wealth, and personal legacy. Tune in for a conversation that's as practical as it is provocative, and be ready to rethink what it means to truly live as a man—on your own terms. Key Themes: Self-acceptance and masculinity in modern society Breaking into tech and financial empowerment for men Rethinking relationship dynamics and dating advice The danger and opportunity of “settling” Embracing vulnerability as masculine strength The real role of spirituality in personal growth Building male community and redefining leadership Connect with Augustic Dunbar: Instagram: @therpaguy (Tech & career) Instagram: @KingsCornerPodcast (Masculinity) Website: makemeking.net This episode is not just for men—it's for anyone looking to understand the pressures, opportunities, and evolving narratives around masculinity, success, and authenticity in today's world. https://books.by/real-wize-publishing

Aaron and Nick Wize open today's show with a recap of last night's Rays win over the Rangers where they clinched another series victory and continued to stay hot over their last 14 games.

Aaron and Nick open today's show with a welcome back from a long holiday weekend where the Rays have now won six-straight games. What has changed for this team? We break it down here.

In this transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe and co-host Craig Andrews welcome Peter Teuscher, an international entrepreneur, senior corporate executive, transformational coach, and passionate advocate for soulful leadership. Across a deeply engaging conversation, Peter shares the twists and lessons of his journey from building businesses in Canada to coaching executives and leading workshops around the globe. Purpose, Happiness, and Leadership in the Modern World Right from the start, Peter unpacks the single biggest lesson drawn from his years in corporate and entrepreneurial environments: the indispensable role of purpose in work and life. He shares candid reflections about how a sense of meaning—knowing your “why”—is more fundamental than any promotion or paycheck. Peter drives home the point that true fulfillment stems not just from external success, but from the alignment between daily work and deeper values. In a world obsessed with positive change, Peter urges listeners to look inward, saying positive change is best measured by your sense of fulfillment and the value you bring to others, rather than just meeting surface-level goals. Through relatable anecdotes and stories from his global travels, he reveals how cultural differences impact leadership—contrasting Asia's hierarchical structures with North America's flatter, entrepreneurial approaches—and what it truly takes to build trust and earn respect as a leader in any environment. Curiosity, Resilience, and Reinvention Curiosity, according to Peter, has been a driving force at every stage of his journey. He recounts the leap of faith it took to leave a thriving Canadian business and embrace new challenges in Europe's corporate world—underscoring that real growth often demands stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. One of the most relatable segments comes when Peter and Craig explore the “myth of the slimy salesperson.” Drawing from decades of sales experience, Peter dismantles the outdated view that sales is about persuasion or manipulation. Modern selling, he insists, is rooted in service: “How can I add value? How can I be of help?” This mindset shift is essential not only for sales pros, but for coaches, content creators, and anyone learning to value their unique contributions in business. Confidence and “knowing your worth” are recurring themes, especially for new entrepreneurs struggling to price their services or articulate their value. Peter shares his early struggles with setting rates and how underpricing or giving work away for free diminished client commitment. Ultimately, he reveals, people won't value what you don't value yourself. Balancing Strategy with Intuition When the discussion turns to coaching leaders, Peter dives deep into the art of balancing rigorous strategy with a healthy dose of intuition. He explains that strategic models are merely guidelines—adaptability, presence, and gut instinct matter just as much, especially in unfamiliar or rapidly changing contexts. Peter encourages leaders to cultivate self-awareness, listen for feedback, and not become rigidly attached to any particular plan. Unlearning Corporate Habits: The Coach's Mindset Among the most striking insights is Peter's account of transitioning from corporate leadership, where giving answers is often the expectation, to coaching, where the art lies in asking the right questions. The shift from “solving problems” for others to empowering them to find their own answers is at the heart of his approach, and one of the main reasons he believes in the transformational power of good coaching. On Failure, Vulnerability, and Growth Both Peter and Wize share honest accounts of professional and personal “failures”—or as they reframe them, crucial learning moments. From significant business losses in Canada to questioning his own purpose later in life, Peter emphasizes that it's not the setbacks themselves, but the bounce-back and lessons learned, that shape who we become. He even describes hosting “failure nights,” encouraging leaders to openly discuss mistakes in order to build resilience and foster innovation. Vulnerability, according to Peter, doesn't undermine authority—it establishes trust. He outlines how admitting mistakes, showing your human side, and being authentic at work are key to building respect and inspiring others, far more than projecting invulnerability ever could. The Power of Personal Practice Listeners are also treated to Peter's personal daily practices—especially his quarter-century commitment to meditation and grounding morning rituals. These, he says, keep him connected to his purpose and ensure he approaches each day with clarity and intention. Defining Success and a Message for Future Changemakers Success, for Peter, is not defined by material achievements, but by continual growth and happiness. He leaves the audience with a resonant piece of advice: before trying to lift up others, first develop your own potential and sense of fulfillment. Only then can you truly inspire and help those around you. Episode Highlights: The critical importance of knowing your “why” How cultural differences shape leadership and trust Redefining sales from persuasion to service and value How to price yourself confidently as a coach, consultant, or creator The skill sets and mindset shifts needed to thrive in entrepreneurship vs. corporate life Vulnerability as an essential leadership quality Why authentic communication and deep listening are hallmarks of great leaders The transformative role of meditation and self-awareness practices About the Guest Peter Teuscher is a sought-after coach, facilitator, and the author of “Rethinking Happiness.” He works with leaders and teams worldwide, helping them overcome self-imposed barriers and step into more impactful, purpose-driven roles. Connect with Peter Visit PeterTeuscher.com for his blog, booking info, and resources Check out his book “Rethinking Happiness” for deeper insights into achieving meaningful change Final Thoughts This is an episode for anyone seeking authentic leadership, deeper fulfillment, or courage to take the next bold step in career or life. If you've ever questioned your worth, struggled with failure, or wondered how to blend soul and strategy in business, this episode promises inspiration and real-world tools to help you move forward. Listen, reflect, and discover how embracing curiosity, authenticity, and presence can help you become not just a better leader, but a happier and more impactful human being.

Alicia shares a pivotal moment in her life that spurred this significant change, detailing how she transitioned from a life dominated by the hustle of marketing and sales to one focused on intuitive healing and empowerment. This shift was profoundly influenced by her realization of an unhealed inner child, leading her to discover and embrace practices such as meditation, energy work, and breath work. The conversation highlights how Alicia's intuitive gifts, which were evident since childhood but suppressed due to a conservative upbringing, blossomed once she started working with a coach who introduced her to the power of intuition.
