ick Wize questions the double standard surrounding two of the Buccaneers' biggest leaders. After Baker Mayfield expressed confidence that Tampa Bay's defense can help take pressure off the offense, some fans criticized the quarterback's comments. Meanwhile, Nick points to Lavonte David's earlier admission that he (Lavonte) had taken plays off and wonders why that statement didn't spark the same outrage. Why is Baker being blamed for trying to carry the team while Lavonte largely escaped criticism? Nick dives into the disconnect.

Nick Wize opens the show with a fiery take on Vita Vea's decision to hold in during Buccaneers minicamp. While Vea is entering the final year of a massive four-year, $71 million contract, Nick argues that players should honor the agreements they signed. Is it fair for a player to seek more money before fulfilling the final year of a deal? Nick explains why he believes contracts should work both ways and why this trend continues to frustrate fans.

Nick Wize and his producer put their college football knowledge to the test as they try to predict the latest SEC win totals for the 2026 season. From the conference favorites to the teams flying under the radar, every prediction is up for debate. Did Nick agree with the oddsmakers, or did he find value where Vegas didn't? Find out which SEC teams sparked the biggest arguments and whether Nick's predictions hit the mark.

This episode featured everything that makes Tampa Bay sports radio great: strong opinions, spirited debate, and passionate fan interaction. Nick Wize challenged Vita Vea's contract stance, defended Baker Mayfield's leadership, questioned the reaction to Lavonte David's comments, and offered a measured evaluation of the Rays after their loss to the Dodgers. The show also featured a SEC football win total challenge and a lively debate about whether Brendan Sorsby could be a worthwhile addition to the Buccaneers through the supplemental draft. Throughout the program, listeners helped shape the conversation with calls and texts that kept the debates going from start to finish.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe is joined by leadership strategist and Heartnomics founder Hannah Bauer for a powerful conversation on resilience, leadership, and system transformation. Drawing from her remarkable journey of surviving severe heart disease as a child and later pioneering a groundbreaking heart procedure, Hannah Bau shares how early lessons about rhythm and recovery in the human body shaped her enduring philosophy about organizational health, leadership, and purpose. Listeners are taken through Hannah Bauer's deeply personal story: from formative years spent battling tachycardia and living within the painful uncertainty of chronic illness, to emerging as an industry leader and innovator. She reflects on the parallels between physiological disruption and dysfunctional organizational systems. Just as the heart must maintain steady rhythms for the body to thrive, organizations require well-aligned processes and clear communication to avoid chaos, burnout, and constant rework. Hannah Bauer details her unconventional path to leadership, which began not in a boardroom, but from a hospital bed, where service and observation became her best teachers. Inspired by the volunteers that impacted her life, she gravitated toward service, eventually understanding—through firsthand experience and mentorship—that leadership is service. Her community work in Georgia, involvement in university organizations, and eventual rise to positions such as CEO, board chair, and executive director are woven together by a commitment to purposeful service and systemic clarity. A significant portion of the episode focuses on organizational dynamics: Why do well-intentioned teams still get stuck? Hannah Bauer unpacks the difference between people-related issues and system misalignments, warning of the dangers of over-reliance on charismatic leaders and the stagnation that results when authority is not fully delegated through clear, actionable processes. She stresses the importance of access, communication, and shared understanding, and warns about the silent dangers of silos, where departments become disconnected and critical information fails to flow. Listeners gain insight into Lean Six Sigma, as Hannah Bauer, a certified Black Belt, explains how the methodology can identify hidden wastes in organizations, particularly the often-overlooked "loss of human potential." She shares real-world examples of how businesses—especially during disruptions or market shifts—must scrutinize their processes, question their assumptions, and focus not just on the adoption of new systems but on their purposeful integration. Throughout the episode, practical strategies are offered for leaders wanting to move from a reactive, survival mentality to achieving sustainable success. Hannah Bauer advises on how to uncover the root causes behind persistent symptoms (like high turnover, low productivity, or missed opportunities), emphasizing continual inquiry: How do you know that your team knows what you expect of them? She encourages leaders to see pressure and disruption as opportunities to reveal underlying issues and recommends periodic reflection—comparing the stress tests of medical diagnostics to stress-testing one's organizational culture. Wize and Hannah Bauer also delve into the evolution of industries in the face of technological change, like the shift from print to digital publishing or the rise of AI, drawing lessons on adaptability and the dangers of losing organizational identity amid rapid change. Hannah Bau explains how clarity of purpose and a strong sense of mission help teams remain resilient when the external environment is volatile. The episode closes with inspiring, actionable advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed or burned out, whether at work or in life. Hannah Bauer urges listeners to breathe, reflect on what is actually within their control, and seek community—reminding us that excellence, not perfection, is the goal. She highlights the transformative power of coaching and supportive relationships, drawing from both her personal and professional experiences to remind leaders that pressure is not the enemy, but a catalyst for growth and innovation. Key Topics Discussed: How childhood illness shaped a holistic view of leadership and systems The journey from service to strategic leadership roles Differentiating between people problems and process problems The dangers of decision bottlenecks and organizational silos Importance of common language/culture in execution and delivery Lean Six Sigma and identifying the waste of human potential Navigating industry disruption and preserving organizational identity What to do when implementation of new systems falls flat The role of love, trust, and community in corporate culture Moving from survival mode to sustainable, purposeful growth Why excellence—not perfection—should be the target for innovative leadership Who Should Listen: This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, non-profit directors, and anyone interested in leadership, organizational development, or personal resilience. Whether you're leading through disruption, trying to realign your systems, or simply seeking encouragement to move forward after setbacks, Hannah Bau's wisdom and Wise's insightful questions offer both robust frameworks and authentic inspiration.

Nick Wize covers it all in a jam-packed edition of The Nick Wize Show. Nick opens by breaking down the Rays' loss to the Dodgers and why Tampa Bay continues to be undone by the little mistakes that add up over the course of a game. From defensive miscues to questionable bullpen decisions, Nick explains why the Rays need to clean up the fundamentals if they want to compete with baseball's elite. The conversation then shifts to the Buccaneers, where Nick asks the question dividing Tampa Bay: would fans rather see the Bucs win with Todd Bowles or struggle if it meant a new head coach? Plus, former USF Hall of Famer Jeff Attinella joins the show to discuss Team USA's World Cup potential, Christian Pulisic's injury status, and why goaltending remains a concern. Throw in a hilarious World Cup-themed edition of The Price Is Right, and you've got an episode packed with insight, debate, and laughs.

From dramatic finishes to unforgettable crowds, Nick explains why this tournament has become must-watch television

Nick Wize delivers one of his most memorable analogies of the baseball season, comparing the Rays' sweep of the Red Sox to makeup. Why? Because makeup covers things up—and Nick believes that's exactly what happened. With Tampa Bay following that high point by losing two out of three in Anaheim, Nick examines whether the Red Sox series created a false sense of confidence and what it means moving forward for the Rays and their fans.

In this powerhouse episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with serial entrepreneur, business coach, and acclaimed author Jeremy Shapiro for a masterclass in transforming your business from a self-created job into a true asset that delivers freedom, not burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your own company, confused busyness with progress, or wondered how to escape the endless hustle, this conversation brings actionable insights and eye-opening advice you won't want to miss. About the Guest Jeremy Shapiro has spent nearly three decades helping entrepreneurs build scalable, sustainable, and sellable businesses. Featured on NPR, Fox News, and major outlets worldwide, he specializes in guiding founders through the transformational leap from solopreneur to true business owner—allowing them to reclaim their time, health, and creativity, while building assets that create generational wealth. Key Themes & Discussion Highlights The Solopreneur Trap: Are You Growing a Business or a Job? Early in the conversation, Wize and Jeremy break down the critical distinction between being "self-employed" and being a "business owner." Jeremy shares from experience that many enthusiastic founders unknowingly build businesses that trap them, taking on all the risk and workload but missing the freedom entrepreneurship promises. If the business can't run without you, says Speaker B, it's a job—one you could end up resenting (02:03). Builder or Grinder? Why Mindset Matters Reflecting on his own path, Jeremy identifies as a lifelong builder—someone who thrives on creating systems, solutions, and opportunities for others (03:01). This mindset, he explains, is key to scaling successfully. The pitfall? Confusing activity with progress. Entrepreneurs often wear busyness like a badge of honor, but as Jeremy reveals, tracking where your time actually goes often exposes unprofitable patterns (03:43). Systems, Delegation, and the Power of Marginal Gains Building a true business means learning to let go. For many, this is a massive mindset shift. Jeremy discusses why perfectionism (“nobody can do this as well as I can!”) is the enemy of growth (07:00). Instead, he urges founders to document and systematize repeatable tasks, define success clearly, and empower new team members to take ownership. This approach not only enables scale—it's essential for sanity and sustainability. The episode takes a deep dive into the concept of "small hinges swing big doors." Through the story of the British cycling team's transformation, listeners learn how stacking tiny, 1% improvements can completely change business outcomes (17:55). These marginal gains—whether it's a tweak to onboarding, pricing, or lead generation—compound into massive wins. Finding (and Freeing) Hidden Profit Plateaus are normal in business, but they signal it's time to work smarter, not harder. With his trademark clarity, Speaker B outlines the three levers that can reignite growth and profitability. Sometimes, he advises, it's about refining the business model or optimizing pricing; other times, it's about adopting new channels or outsourcing for leverage (14:28). A standout moment is his pricing masterclass. Speaker B challenges the common founder fallacy of undercharging for unique expertise—and shares a real-life story of helping a client 10x her consulting fees by shifting from time-based to value-based pricing (33:09). He explains how minor price increases can double profit margins, even if customer numbers stay flat. Building an Asset, Not Just a Paycheck One of the most profound insights arrives as Jeremy explains why every founder should design their business with an exit in mind—even if they never intend to sell. Businesses tend to follow one of three paths: shut down, pass to family, or become a sellable asset. Building with sale in mind forces owners to create systems, document roles, and make the company valuable to someone else (24:36). This not only maximizes future wealth—it also gives more freedom now. The story of a business owner forced to systematize after a health scare is a wake-up call about why founders must set their businesses up to run (and grow) without them (25:33). Ultimately, the goal is for founders to work on their business, not just in it—unlocking not just profit, but the optionality to travel, launch new projects, or simply take a real vacation. The Power of Niching & Specialization For those feeling "stuck" on a plateau, Jeremy recommends strategic niching. By narrowing focus and speaking directly to an ideal customer, businesses can increase pricing power, dominate specialist markets, and avoid the trap of being a replaceable commodity (39:39). The episode includes memorable stories of sub-niching (even among high-net-worth clients) and how hyper-specialization can actually expand total addressable markets. Actionable Takeaways Track Your Time: Perform a time diary to uncover true time drains (03:43). Document and Delegate: Systematize your most repetitive (yet “unique”) tasks and build clear success metrics (07:00). Test Your Pricing: Move beyond time-based to value-based pricing and experiment with incremental increases (33:09). Niche and Specialize: Don't be afraid to narrow your market; the more specific, the more profitable (39:39). Build for Sale: Even if you intend to own your business forever, design it so it could thrive—and grow—without you (24:36). Leverage Expertise: Get outside help where needed and find leverage through people, systems, or partners (22:45). Assess Optionality: True freedom is having the choice of where, when, and how you work. Build towards options, not obligations (23:34). Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen This episode isn't just for business owners on the brink of burnout—it's for anyone who wants to future-proof their company, escape the hamster wheel, and reclaim their entrepreneurial purpose. Real stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical frameworks from Jeremy"s 30 years in the trenches provide inspiration and guidance for businesses at every stage. Whether you're stuck grinding out 12-hour days or approaching your first big plateau, this conversation is packed with paradigm shifts, strategies, and tools to help you break through and build a business that truly works for you. About the Book Looking to go deeper? Jeremy Shapiro's book, Your Business Growth Playbook, takes listeners further into the systems, checklists, and methodologies discussed throughout the episode.

In this episode, we explore the new partnership between International, PlusAI, and Ryder to accelerate commercial driverless truck operations. These trucks are currently hauling live freight on the highly congested Temple-to-Laredo corridor to prove that autonomous technology can safely and profitably scale on demanding supply chain arteries. Next, we discuss the newly proposed federal budget that increases military shipbuilding funding by 242% to a staggering $65.8 billion. While this massive spending package aims to rapidly modernize the U.S. Navy fleet, commercial maritime experts warn it could severely strain the broader supply chain by sparking intense bidding wars for specialized labor and materials. Finally, we cover major consolidation in the freight tech space as load board titan Truckstop.com acquires the heavy haul pricing platform Wize Load. By directly integrating Wize Load's proprietary rate quoting and routing algorithms, Truckstop aims to digitize operations and remove the guesswork for specialized carriers navigating the highly lucrative heavy haul spot market.

In this enlightening episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast,  Wize welcomes Kayse Gehret, a transformational wellness pioneer with over 31 years of experience. As founder of Microdosing for Healing, Casey has guided more than 1,400 people in 30 countries toward clarity, balance, and self-connection through earth-based and international practices. Together, Speaker A and Speaker B embark on a deep conversation about the journey of healing, the misconceptions around wellness, and what it really takes to reconnect with yourself in an increasingly disconnected world. An Origin Story Rooted in Healing The episode opens with Casey's personal story, tracing her childhood desire to pursue a healing profession. She initially started on a conventional path toward becoming a doctor, studying pre-med, before a significant turning point led her to California and alternative medicine. Casey shares how energy work, body work, and somatic practices gradually became her life's passion, eventually leading to the creation of her global community (02:08). Her early experiences—including the trauma of losing her father to suicide and the challenges within her family—sparked a curiosity in psychology and human health that has shaped her approach (04:06). She speaks candidly about how a sense of purpose, combined with a personal “blueprint,” led her to recognize her calling from a young age. Navigating Stigma and Skepticism Casey recounts the skepticism she faced when transitioning from conventional medicine to alternative practices, especially during the early years when energy work and body work commanded little respect. This experience primed her for the challenges of working with psychedelics and natural medicines, specifically microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms (05:07). Casey describes growing up during the Reagan-era “Just Say No” campaign, surrounded by stigma and misinformation about psychedelics, and shares her own cautious approach informed by personal health concerns like a seizure disorder (07:52). She explains that microdosing appealed to her as a gentle, sub-threshold practice, more akin to taking a supplement than a mind-altering drug. Unexpectedly, it brought significant healing: her seizure disorder disappeared, her nervous system recalibrated, and her skepticism transformed into advocacy. Over six years, Casey has watched the stigma around microdosing fade, replaced by curiosity and open-minded questions (08:51). Challenging Pharmaceutical Dependence A major theme emerges around the dominance of pharmaceutical companies in traditional media and medicine. Speaker A and Speaker B emphasize that many remedies simply create lifelong dependency without true healing; microdosing and natural methods, by contrast, trigger the body's innate healing capacity (10:25). Casey clarifies a common misconception: mushrooms and microdosing do not foster dependency but rather assist and unleash intrinsic self-healing mechanisms. Her own experience proves that the benefits persisted even after stopping microdosing (10:58). Global Healing: Similar Struggles, Shared Humanity Having worked with people in over 30 countries, Casey reflects on the surprising similarities in healing struggles across cultures (13:06). Despite local differences, fundamental issues are universal: a longing for connection, spirituality, and supportive communities. She describes the profound impact of helping individuals in places where discussing spirituality or mystical experiences remains taboo, illustrating how her work facilitates deeper cross-cultural healing. The Power of Intention and Mindset Intentional practice and mindset are highlighted as essential components of transformation, particularly when working with psychedelics. Casey explains that these substances act as “non-specific amplifiers,” magnifying what is already within a person (14:26). The medicine alone can help, but coupling it with community, guides, or therapists is far more effective. She stresses the importance of setting clear intentions and lifestyle practices to maximize the healing journey (15:33). Disconnection: The Root of Modern Struggles Casey identifies disconnection—from self, others, and the earth—as the underlying cause of many modern challenges (16:00). People are drawn to healing practices not always knowing why; for many, it's an unconscious desire to reconnect with their true self and purpose. She notes that media and societal forces often promote numbing and obedience, making disconnection easier and awakening harder (17:01). Reconnection, she says, is key to regaining creative, conscious agency in life (17:14). Content Creation and Community Building The episode also explores the vital role of independent media and content creation in uplifting and empowering individuals (18:03). Speaker A shares his journey creating his own internet radio station and his mission to focus on positive, meaningful talk content. Casey encourages listeners to intentionally build their own “algorithm”—curating what they consume and embodying conscious focus (18:38). Both speakers agree that independent platforms offer freedom from censorship and support authentic, optimistic narratives (20:09). Training the Next Generation of Facilitators Casey's professional training program for facilitators is discussed in depth. She describes the broad spectrum of people who have entered her training—clinicians, therapists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and regular people inspired by their own healing journey. The qualities of effective guides include openness, diverse backgrounds, and a commitment to support and serve their communities (21:17). Her cohorts span ages from twenties to seventies, underscoring the universal appeal of intentional healing work. Practical Steps: Starting the Healing Journey For listeners feeling stuck emotionally or spiritually, Casey's advice is practical and empowering. The first step is simply acknowledging that the status quo is no longer satisfactory—that awareness alone is transformative (23:01). Next, she recommends reconnecting with the body through daily practices like massage, yoga, nature walks, or whatever brings you closer to yourself. These physical anchors pave the way for deeper spiritual and energetic healing (23:37). She elaborates that cultivating consistent daily practices—meditation, microdosing, prayer, or walks—helps anchor individuals amidst social upheaval and rapid change. Even ten minutes a day, intentionally set aside, can make all the difference in building resilience and staying grounded (25:20). Lasting Transformation: Gentle Integration True transformation, Casey asserts, is not always flashy or instant, but rather incremental and lasting. Subtle, gentle shifts accrue over time and integrate into real-life relationships and choices. Often, a year or more passes before clients look back and see profound differences in how they handle adversity, relationships, and opportunities. They find themselves responding creatively, not reactively, to life's curveballs—a hallmark of authentic healing (26:33). Community: The Modern Village The importance of supportive community—virtual or local—is underscored throughout the episode. Speaker A recounts his upbringing in a tight-knit “village” and laments how that communal spirit has become rare. Both speakers celebrate that online platforms now make it possible to build global communities of like-minded individuals, empowering collective healing and creative growth (32:10). Casey shares a story about wildfire recovery in Northern California, where ordinary people—not authorities—stepped up to lead and support, illustrating the power of grassroots community action (37:09). Inspiration and Empowerment As the conversation wraps up, Speaker A reflects on his own journey: from pit boss in a casino to podcast host and media entrepreneur. He shares how stepping out of his comfort zone led to meaningful friendships, growth, and even helping his nephew publish several books after prison (36:10). Casey affirms that anyone, regardless of background, can take the first step—confidence builds through action, not mere contemplation (30:09). They discuss how seeing an ordinary person achieve something new ignites permission and empowerment in others. The episode closes with Casey's encouragement to pursue your dreams and Speaker A's call for listeners to embrace uplifting, meaningful content and healing alternatives. Connect with Casey Garrett Casey Garrett invites listeners to explore microdosing and healing at microdosingforhealing.com (40:42). She offers resources for beginners, online support, and community platforms. Her uniquely spelled name makes her easy to find across social media. Final Thoughts This episode is a powerful testament to personal transformation, the healing potential of natural medicines, and the importance of intentional practice and supportive community. It challenges listeners to question pharmaceutical dependency, embrace daily grounding exercises, and take the first step toward lasting change. Through candid stories, expert insights, and practical advice, Casey Garrett and Speaker A inspire anyone feeling stuck to embark on their own healing journey and become agents of positive, authentic change in the world.

In this episode, we explore the new partnership between International, PlusAI, and Ryder to accelerate commercial driverless truck operations. These trucks are currently hauling live freight on the highly congested Temple-to-Laredo corridor to prove that autonomous technology can safely and profitably scale on demanding supply chain arteries. Next, we discuss the newly proposed federal budget that increases military shipbuilding funding by 242% to a staggering $65.8 billion. While this massive spending package aims to rapidly modernize the U.S. Navy fleet, commercial maritime experts warn it could severely strain the broader supply chain by sparking intense bidding wars for specialized labor and materials. Finally, we cover major consolidation in the freight tech space as load board titan Truckstop.com acquires the heavy haul pricing platform Wize Load. By directly integrating Wize Load's proprietary rate quoting and routing algorithms, Truckstop aims to digitize operations and remove the guesswork for specialized carriers navigating the highly lucrative heavy haul spot market.

If you've ever felt trapped in a “bad fit” job, unsure how to pivot toward your true calling, this episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast is the spark you need. Host Wize El Jefe welcomes coach, speaker, and podcast host Mitch Matthews—a man who's dedicated his career to helping people dream bigger and build businesses with impact and purpose. Mitch's story starts in small-town Iowa, sweeping floors at a bike shop at age 12. His “extreme interest” in bicycles unintentionally unlocked an even deeper fascination—the world of entrepreneurship. Through hands-on learning and mentorship, he saw firsthand how following your passions could create something meaningful. Little did he know that these formative years would lay the groundwork for launching his own six-figure business helping others pursue their dreams. Wize guides the conversation to pivotal moments, like Mitch's climb up the corporate ladder in pharmaceutical sales, culminating in running sales training for a $2 billion company. But “success” wasn't enough—the next promotion led to what Mitch candidly calls “the bad fit ceiling.” Despite living the so-called dream (good income, mortgage, family), his soul-crushing job became a wake-up call. The fear of leaving stability for entrepreneurship was real, especially coming from a family of non-entrepreneurs. Mitch shares how he navigated this fear—not with a blind leap, but by calculating a “leap number,” a strategy he now teaches to others, granting permission to build side businesses without jeopardizing financial security. What unfolds is a masterclass in real-life entrepreneurship. Mitch and Wize dig deep into the mistakes, false starts, and lessons learned while launching coaching and speaking careers. Mitch's first misstep: believing big-name certifications would guarantee clients. He soon realized that competence mattered more than prestigious titles, and that most coach trainings gloss over the crucial topic of building a business. Research shows less than 15% of such programs cover the business side, leaving many new coaches floundering. That gap inspired Mitch's own business: he helps coaches and speakers not just hone their craft but also build profitable, sustainable practices. The conversation is rich with stories—like Wize's own journey from podcasting to launching a publishing company, helping a first-time author achieve her dream. Both men celebrate the power of giving yourself permission to experiment, learn, and fail forward. Mitch is passionate about teaching from the journey, not the destination, emphasizing that continuous growth leads to authentic impact. A major highlight is Mitch's Six Figure Sequence, a step-by-step system designed to help aspiring coaches, speakers, and content creators launch and grow their businesses with intentionality. Mitch breaks down how the sequence was born—from a wise mentor's advice at a busy local coffee shop (“What's your sequence?”) to developing an actionable, repeatable system that has helped thousands worldwide. The concept is simple but powerful: every successful venture has a sequence, a path that guides customers from curiosity to commitment. For Mitch, turning this wisdom into his business's backbone was transformative, and he now empowers others to create their own sequences for success. Wize and Mitch also explore the realities of monetizing creative work. Instead of chasing podcast sponsorships, Wize illustrates how developing skills—like book publishing and podcast setup—can become unique revenue streams. Mitch echoes this, encouraging listeners to recognize their value, lean into natural talents, and charge confidently for the transformation they offer. Another emotional thread is embracing change and personal growth. Wize reveals his own health transformation, losing over £120 in a year, and how the process reshaped his perspective and drive. These moments powerfully reinforce the episode's central theme: teach from the journey, model vulnerability, and empower others to do the same. Mitch's impact extends beyond individual coaching, with his mission to launch one million dreams. While quantifying such a goal is a work in progress, it's clear his ripple effect—through coaching, speaking, and training other coaches—is multiplying exponentially. Finally, the episode covers Mitch's acclaimed podcast, Dream. Think. Do., ranked in the top 1% globally. The show embodies Mitch's philosophy: give yourself permission to dream, strategize with purpose, and take bold action. Podcasting becomes more than a medium—it's a way to deepen conversations, build community, and amplify impact far beyond a single coaching session or keynote. Whether you're a coach, entrepreneur, creative, or someone feeling boxed in by an unfulfilling job, this episode offers actionable advice, raw truth, and genuine encouragement to break out, build with intention, and help others realize their dreams. Key takeaways from the episode: How to transition from a “safe” job into intentional entrepreneurship The importance of building side hustles before taking the leap Why most trainings ignore the business side—and how to fix it The power of the Six Figure Sequence in building sustainable, impactful businesses The value of teaching from your journey, not just your achievements How to monetize creative skills outside traditional sponsorships Why podcasting is a tool for growth, learning, and meaningful connection Stories of failure and success from both Mitch and Wize How the ripple effect of one dream can impact millions For resources, strategies, or to connect with Mitch, visit MitchMatthews.com and check out his Dream. Think. Do. podcast. If you're stuck reaching for something bigger, this episode proves that breakthroughs often start with a single conversation. Stay bold, stay purposeful, and stay wise!

Episode Description: From the Gridiron to Growth: LaTanya Edenburghs Playbook for Life In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with LaTanya Edinburgh—a true trailblazer whose journey spans professional women's football, empowerment coaching, and passionate advocacy for healing and growth. Together, they explore the unpredictable paths of life, the power of resilience, and what it really means to break barriers in both sports and society. A Candid Start, A Powerful Conversation Wize kicks off the episode admitting to a rare off day—lost notes and a late start—but LaTanya quickly sets the tone with compassion and grace, reminding us all to embrace life's hiccups, breathe, and move forward with kindness toward ourselves and others. This natural and unfiltered beginning sets the stage for a discussion full of authenticity and deep insights. LaTanya's Football Journey: Pioneering on the Field Listeners are treated to an inside look at LaTanya's groundbreaking entry into professional women's football at the turn of the millennium. Initially working behind the scenes in administration, her competitive spirit could not be contained—soon, she found herself donning full pads and taking the field. Her stories of playing full-contact football, choosing defense (“let me do the hitting!”), and traveling the country shed light on the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in a vastly male-dominated sport. LaTanya reflects on being a pioneer during those early days—before widespread visibility or support for women in football existed. She discusses how her league overcame significant barriers simply through unbreakable team spirit, mutual support, and a shared belief that women belonged on that gridiron. Her pride in seeing the rise of women's flag football and ongoing progress in women's sports today is palpable, highlighting the impact of those foundational years. From Athlete to Empowerment Coach: A Purposeful Pivot The conversation then evolves beyond athletics. LaTanya shares that her calling to empower and uplift others began as a child, long before her football days. Today, she's a multi-certified empowerment coach specializing in everything from therapeutic art to grief coaching. Her business, Illuminate Your Journey, is dedicated to helping youth, athletes, and adults heal from trauma, embrace personal growth, and step boldly into their purpose. Through storytelling, LaTanya explains how she tailors her coaching—drawing from her various certifications and her intuitive gifts—to fit each client's unique needs. Whether through art, life coaching, or grief work, her central mission remains the same: to guide people from loss to understanding so they can live with empowerment, purpose, and longevity. Healing, Forgiveness, and Community Uplift A critical theme in this episode is the role of healing and forgiveness. LaTanya delves deep into the concept of grief—not just related to death, but the “invisible griefs” that stem from unmet potential, transitions, or cultural and societal pressures. She passionately believes in creating safe spaces for people—especially in marginalized communities—to be vulnerable, seek support, and shed the stigma attached to therapy and emotional openness. The conversation moves into broader community issues, touching on financial literacy, the importance of life insurance, and breaking generational cycles through knowledge and support. Both LaTanya and Wize share personal stories, from loss and hardship to finding hope and purpose, underscoring how critical it is to have honest conversations about mental wellness, money, and personal growth in the Black and Brown communities. Women in Sports: Visibility, Equity, and the Road Ahead As women's sports like the WNBA reach record-breaking attendance and national attention, LaTanya reflects on what it means to finally see the “light shining” on female athletes. She dreams of a future where women receive not just recognition and fair compensation, but real support from across the spectrum—fans, families, and fellow athletes alike. She's candid about the double standards still present: how women are often labeled as having “an attitude” for displaying the same competitive drive admired in men, and how society must evolve to support women athletes (and women in general) without bias or belittlement. Coaching Young Athletes: On and Off the Field LaTanya brings her coach's mentality into youth empowerment, describing her hands-on approach: meeting athletes where they are, speaking their language, and addressing the personal and practical barriers to their success. Her coaching philosophy is holistic, recognizing that athletes—especially young women—need more than just technical skills; they need tools to navigate transitions, build self-worth, and unlock their full potential at every stage of development. Purpose, Passion, and Paying it Forward As the episode moves toward a close, Wize and LaTanya reflect on the power of storytelling, self-publishing, and using your own journey to inspire others. The importance of community support, celebrating small wins, and uplifting one another runs throughout their discussion. They also discuss exciting future plans—including retreats, workshops, and continued collaboration within and beyond the podcast space. The episode ends on a note of celebration and gratitude. Both host and guest underline the immense value of authenticity, vulnerability, and service. LaTanya gives listeners ways to connect with her and details her upcoming projects—children's books and empowerment journals designed to help readers heal and grow. Why Listen? This episode is for anyone seeking inspiration—from athletes facing adversity, to anyone in pursuit of healing, personal growth, or a deeper sense of purpose. LaTanya Edinburgh's story, combined with Wize's honest reflections, offers a rare and moving blueprint for resilience, community uplift, and the transformative power of living your truth.

On this episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes the multi-faceted strategist and entrepreneur Angela Lewis for a conversation overflowing with clarity, connection, and unexpected golden nuggets. What starts as a humorous mix-up – with Wize thinking Angela was a PR pro due to her knack for making connections – quickly unfolds into a powerful exploration of what it really takes to build, scale, and revitalize a business or brand from the inside out. Angela shares the real story behind her journey as the founder of Savvy Designs and The Pink Elephant Solution, underscoring her relentless drive to help businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs not just survive but truly thrive. She unpacks how her background in art, consulting, and design evolved into strategic brand-building and developing accessible platforms to help businesses at every financial level lay solid foundations. Listeners get a window into Angela's education at Harvard, her ongoing commitment to self-learning, and her mission to pass on deep-rooted business principles so that others can grow resilient organizations. Together, Angela and Wize discuss the common traps leaders fall into—like launching businesses without foundational skills or tactical structure, and failing to see the difference between an LLC and true liability protection. Angela's advice is sharp: invest early in strategic accounting and legal support, and always focus on learning before leaping. But the conversation moves way beyond business nuts and bolts. Angela talks about the art of connecting people, the difference between transactional exchanges and lasting relationships, and how one's personal journey and emotional health feed directly into entrepreneurial success. Wize opens up about his own life: losing loved ones, overcoming personal struggles, rediscovering his purpose through podcasting, and the true power of supporting others and being supportive in return. Whether it's how to build an “elevator pitch,” navigate a rapidly changing business climate, make crucial pivots, or the importance of celebrating personal milestones and self-betterment, Angela delivers invaluable insights with warmth and contagious energy. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or creative who feels “stuck in your mind,” this episode is a masterclass in finding clarity, embracing connection, and choosing purpose-driven momentum over busywork. Tune in for a conversation that doesn't just drop gems—it hands you the blueprint for building your own business legacy and living boldly, one intentional action at a time. Don't miss this episode if you want tactical business wisdom, real talk about life's rollercoasters, and inspiration to get out of your own way. Connect with Angela Lewis—aka The Real Angela Lewis—at Savvy Designs, The Pink Elephant Solution, or on social platforms, and keep following Stuck in My Mind for more mind-shifting conversations.

In this powerful and uplifting episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes international speaker, entrepreneur, and speaking coach Marianne Hickman. Known for her remarkable journey from food stamps in Utah to igniting stages in 17 countries, Marianne shares her authentic story of resilience, transformation, and the transformative magic of sharing your message with the world. A Journey Fueled by Hardship and Hope Marianne pulls listeners in with her unfiltered account of what life was like before her first intentional speaking opportunity. Growing up as the youngest of ten in a family of high achievers, Marianne describes the emotional and financial challenges that nearly broke her spirit—marriage and motherhood at an early age, raising five kids, concerning debt, and the humbling experience of relying on food stamps and government support. She humorously and candidly recounts driving the family's old Mazda minivan through Provo, Utah, wrestling with frustration at “doing everything right” but still struggling financially. On that pivotal drive, she describes a personal, almost confrontational conversation with God: she demanded either a box of money on her porch or proximity to someone who could teach her “the money game.” Fate complied—not with cash, but with access to mentors and examples who showed her how to turn her personal story, pain, inspiration, and lessons into sustainable, purpose-driven speaking. Discovering the Power of Storytelling Marianne's turning points didn't come in the fashion of overnight success. She opens up about her early speaking opportunities, from her church putting her on stage as a child (admitting churches “knock the stage fright right out of you”), to attending seminars as a “seminar junkie” and stumbling accidentally into her first significant co-facilitator role. She shares a vivid anecdote about a seminar where she witnessed a speaker sell out $300 worth of resources to 700 people in a single session—redefining for her the possibilities of influence from the stage. But more than money or surface-level success, Marianne found her purpose in influence that creates real change. She connects the dots between mastering communication, having a message rooted in authentic experience, and the responsibility to use that message to help others transform their lives. Overcoming Fear & Transforming Mindset A key theme throughout the episode is the fear and self-doubt that come with stepping onto a stage—physical or virtual. Marianne boldly confesses to battling “me-centered” anxieties: Am I good enough? Will I forget my content? Does my outfit look okay? But she reveals a paradigm-shifting piece of wisdom: “Stage fright is inherently selfish.” By focusing less on herself and more on serving her audience, giving value, and tuning in to their needs, her nerves are transformed into purpose. She dives deep into the importance of mindset, using humorous and relatable family anecdotes (like being head-butted by a sheep at a photo shoot) to illustrate how what's inside you gets squeezed out under pressure—onstage or off. For Marianne, developing a resilient mindset and sharing stories from a “healed scar, not an open wound,” are essential for authentic, impactful speaking. Lessons from Failure & the Power of Humor Marianne isn't shy about her early speaking “cringe moments,” sharing how watching her old keynotes taught her humility and the value of self-compassion. She stresses the importance of ongoing learning and giving oneself permission to be funny and human—citing icons like Robin Williams as examples of using humor to make difficult topics accessible and healing. Building a Signature Message—and an Income With practical steps and hard-won wisdom, Marianne walks listeners through the essentials of building a signature presentation. She describes her 10-step keynote blueprint—an adaptable framework that brings stories, lessons, and audience participation together in a way that's psychologically powerful and emotionally relevant. Marianne unpacks the different business models for speakers: the traditional stage fee route (getting paid for keynote sessions at associations or universities), and a more scalable, sustainable approach—offering resources, free tools, or courses to your audience as a seamless next step after speaking. She even shares how simple tools and free resources (like her podcast database) can organically lead to recurring revenue by fulfilling audience needs. Advice for Aspiring Speakers For anyone terrified of public speaking, Marianne's advice is refreshingly simple and actionable: Get the reps in. Start small by going live on social media for two minutes a day—practice is the only way through the fear. She assures listeners that everyone starts small, and reminds us, “Even if no one shows up, just do it anyway.” Authenticity and impact, according to Marianne, come down to personal growth and honesty. It's not about presenting a perfect, drama-free life, but about being real, vulnerable, and committed to ongoing evolution. Your message doesn't have to be traumatic or “the biggest”—it just needs to be yours, rooted in lessons learned and a desire to help others. Trends and Changes in the Speaking Industry Marianne and Wize riff on the post-COVID explosion in digital stages, especially podcasts, and the democratization (and challenges) of getting visible in an increasingly crowded market. She notes the importance of longevity—just “keeping going” in the face of comparison and distraction—as well as becoming the “purest version of yourself,” rather than trying to emulate others. Standing out means embracing your unique strengths, flaws, and quirks. What's Next? And Marianne's Final Message Marianne closes by sharing her plans for upcoming books (“Uninfluenced”), women's and couples retreats for speakers, and her ambition to put people on a million stages and help them make a billion dollars doing it. But her message for listeners—especially those who feel “too small” to get on stage—is about snuffing out the lies of self-doubt. Every voice matters, and the world needs more good people who know how to use their story for positive change. Call to Action If you're feeling the fire to get your message out or want to explore paid speaking, Marianne welcomes listeners to reach out directly for guidance, resources, or just a supportive conversation.

Welcome to a powerfully transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, hosted by Wize El Jefe, featuring high-voltage mindset engineer and hypnotherapist, AD Roberts. In this profound and deeply motivating conversation, Wize welcomes AD Roberts to discuss what it really means to “crack the abundance code” and blueprint your way out of lack and scarcity, into empowered, conscious expansion and authentic wealth. From Rock Bottom to Quantum Breakthroughs AD Roberts opens up about his journey to success, starting young in real estate and finance, making boatloads of money—then losing it all in the 2008 financial collapse. Raw and honest, AD shares how losing everything forced him to rebuild, not just financially but on a deep psychological, spiritual, and energetic level. What pulled him out? Unshakable faith in the mind's power and an understanding of the quantum nature of reality. He reveals that the true currency in life is your mindset, and the energetic frequency you hold. The Science of Abundance: Neuroplasticity Meets Quantum Field Delving into the intersection of neuroscience and energetics, AD explains how neuroplasticity (the brain's wiring) and subconscious beliefs determine 95% of your reality. He breaks down how we move through life on autopilot, repeating patterns embedded deep in our subconscious since childhood. Whether it's beliefs about money (“money doesn't grow on trees,” “you have to grind to get rich,” “chase the bag”) or fears about scarcity, these narratives shape both our actions and what we attract. AD reveals practical secrets to rewiring your mind for wealth: upgrading your inner programming, aligning with your wealthy identity, and understanding that manifestation isn't about chasing—it's about magnetizing abundance through vibration and identity. The Origin of the Abundance Archetypes One of the episode's key highlights is AD's story behind developing the “Abundance Archetypes” found in his book, Cracking the Abundance Code. After working with countless clients—from C-suite executives to professional athletes—AD noticed universal limiting beliefs blocking abundance. To help people identify and overcome these blocks, he and his team created the Wealth Assessment, which gives each person a score and matches them to an archetype (e.g., Flow Alchemist, Blocked Builder). This system provides a personalized map to uncovering and transcending subconscious roadblocks. Hypnosis for Success: How to Literally Rewire Your Brain Ever wondered how hypnosis works in wealth transformation? AD demystifies hypnosis, likening it to the natural trance state we experience every day (like driving and suddenly realizing you've arrived). By slowing the brain's cycles, hypnosis unlocks the subconscious, allowing new empowering beliefs to take root—allowing you to shift from a “scarcity” operating system to one of abundance. He discusses the process, the science, and what clients actually feel during a session—and shares that real freedom is being abundance, not just chasing it. Redefining Wealth: It's Personal What does a “wealthy identity” really look and feel like? According to AD, it's not a one-size-fits-all template. Wealth for him means time freedom, health, flexibility, and the joy of impacting others—while for someone else it might be land, creativity, or family. He emphasizes that authentic abundance always stems from one's unique passions and the highest version of themselves. AD and Wize dive into purpose, with moving stories about discovering their true calling later in life, and the immense joy that comes from serving others. The wisdom here is universal: your life changes when you find the passion that lights you up—work becomes play, and abundance begins to flow. Words, Frequency, and the Quantum Field The power of language is another central theme. AD explains how every word you speak emits a vibrational signature that the quantum field mirrors back to you. Whether you choose words of faith or fear, hope or lack, you are literally scripting the next chapter of your reality. The episode is packed with actionable examples and inspirational reframes to help you shift into abundance mode—now. Action Steps for Listeners Ready to Shift If you're stuck in a scarcity mindset, AD lays out the first crucial steps: take a personal assessment, identify your own subconscious blocks, and use daily rituals like meditation, journaling, and affirmations to rewire your frequency. He emphasizes the importance of regular mental “cleansing”—just as you shower daily to remove dirt, daily mindset work keeps you energetically fresh and ready to receive abundance. Myth-Busting and Radical Truths AD shoots down common abundance myths, most notably the idea that relentless grind is the only way to success. He introduces the “Law of Least Effort”—that when you're energetically aligned and open to receive, abundance flows with synchronicity and grace. Accessing the System: How to Dive Deeper Throughout the episode, AD shares details about his Cracking the Abundance Code system, including the Wealth Assessment, his powerful 21-day program, and hypnosis tracks designed to help you quantum leap into your wealthy identity. He offers ways to connect further through retreats, one-on-one sessions, and daily TikTok lives—reminding listeners that transformation starts with one simple step of engagement. A Conversation That's a Wake-Up Call The energy between AD and Wize is electrifying—both men passionate about transformation, purpose, and uplifting others. Listeners are encouraged not just to listen, but to act: take the assessment, grab the book, and start reprogramming both thoughts and beliefs. The live interaction with listeners (shoutout to Tony!) reinforces the episode's core message—your journey from scarcity to abundance can ignite the same spark in others. Final Takeaway This isn't just a podcast episode—it's an invitation to look within, question your old stories, and choose a new reality. AD and Wize show that abundance isn't about luck, hustle, or background—it's about awareness, intentionality, and aligned action. By cracking your own abundance code, you step into a life of purpose, freedom, wealth, and deep fulfillment. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by scarcity, or just ready for your next leap, this episode is your blueprint and energetic boost to take that first, bold step. Listen, share, and begin your own abundance journey today.
