Send us a textMost of us are one decision away from giving up. We're at the breaking point, questioning if we're qualified, if our pain has purpose, if it's even worth continuing. And in that moment—when you're about to quit—everything changes. Or nothing does. It depends on what you choose next.In this life-altering episode, mental health professional Alison Lager and voice coach Matt Berthot sit down to discuss the exact moment when most people walk away from their calling. They've both been there. Alison survived her husband's suicide, childhood abuse, eating disorders, and a murder trial. Matt inherited generational trauma from his grandfather's suicide and his father's alcoholism. Both were broken. Both were about to quit. Both chose differently.And they're here to tell you: The moment you're about to quit is exactly when you must keep going.But they're not just offering motivation. They're offering a framework—one rooted in neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience—for what to do when the eclipse of despair gets too dark to see through.You'll discover:Why "God qualifies the called" means your inadequacy is the invitationHow the suicide mind works (and it's not what you think)The one skill that prevents emotional collapse: emotional sobrietyThe three-step framework that transforms your worst pain into your life's workWhy bigger growth always means bigger storms—and how to prepareThe Hadestown lesson: How to sing your sad song and still find hopeHow to practice resilience in small moments so you have it in big crisesWhat happens when you finally say yes to that small, still voice inside youWhy receiving help is harder than giving it (and why that's destroying you)The difference between reaction and response (it's a 10-second pause)This episode is for anyone standing at the edge. For the burnt-out parent, struggling entrepreneur, the person in crisis. It's for people who've lost people to suicide. It's for people who've thought about it themselves.Alison and Matt aren't here to tell you it gets easier. They're here to tell you it gets meaningful. And that changes everything.

What if the agencies that crush Q1 aren't working harder in January, they're making one  or two critical decisions right now, in December?In this solo episode, Dan reveals why Q1 consistently catches agencies off-guard and what separates those who stumble into the new year from those who hit the ground running. The secret isn't about working through the holidays or setting ambitious goals—it's about installing a systematic referral system during Q4's quieter moments. What You'll Leave With:Why trust, not awareness, became the scarce resource after 2020 and how it changes your approachThe four stages agencies move through and how to identify which phase you're stuck inThe "high school gym vs. NFL stadium" test for choosing the right lead generation strategy based on market sizeHow to structure connector calls to get 2-5 quality referrals from a single conversationThe simple human emotion that makes people actually follow through on promised introductionsA two-pronged outreach system that keeps your pipeline full even when you're buried in client workWhy making it easier for people to help you eliminates the awkwardness of asking for referralsThe one free data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction: The strange Q4 gap period and what's coming[02:33] The Cobbler's children phase and why most agencies get stuck there[05:00] The four stages of agency growth and how they're detached from revenue[09:15] The 2020 trust recession and why cold outreach stopped working[12:30] High school gym vs. NFL stadium: Choosing the right strategy for your market[16:45] The systematic referral framework: How to generate warm intros weekly[21:20] Structuring connector calls to get 2-5 referrals per conversation[24:10] The emotional game changer that makes introductions actually happen[27:17] Common objections: "This seems like too much work" and "I'm worried about asking for help"[29:35] How this scales beyond your initial network (sprint, jog, run phases)[31:54] The Referral Engine Program and Referral Network Diagnostic offerQuotes: "A lot of agencies end up in level two, which we call the Cobbler's children phase. They have a track record, they've produced results for clients, but new business is very reactive—it's very much catch as catch can." — Dan Englander"After 2020, we saw a massive shift. Trust became the scarce resource, not awareness. Everyone's inbox is full, everyone's LinkedIn is saturated, and people have gotten really good at tuning out anything that feels like cold outreach." — Dan Englander"If you're getting on a call a day—like an apple a day keeps the doctor away—or five calls a week, that is usually more than enough to hit 99% of sales goals." — Dan Englander

I have always wanted to sit down with someone that knows all about Facebook/ Meta ads…how to do them, the cost, and the benefits. And my guest today knows all about this. I spent time talking (actually grilling) Brennan Haelig, the founder of Jumpstart ROI—an agency managing millions in ad spend and known for helping creatives (especially photographers) grow with simple, practical marketing. He even give us the investment potential, both from the cost of the ad to what to expect to pay a pro to help us.Brennan shares journey from losing everything to building a thriving company gives him a grounded, real-world perspective that I think you will be inspired by. And how he ended up understanding the needs of photographers when marketing to potential clients.What to Listen ForThe surprisingly simple, but very effective, ad offer photographers are getting great results fromThe one targeting shift that makes Meta ads actually workWhy “boosting” isn't all bad—and when to use itThe mindset change that can transform your relationship with marketingHis parting thought is to just challenge your limiting beliefs around digital marketing and around paid advertising. Just because you tried it once and it didn't work doesn't mean it can't be a game changer with a few tweaks.Connect with Brennanbrennan@jumpstartroi.comwww.jumpstartroi.com/photographyConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.

In this conversation, we go straight into the territory most professionals tiptoe around: intuition, subtle energy, the “inner signals” you've been trained to ignore since childhood.I talk about why Western culture is so committed to denial, how that denial fuels burnout, and why your quiet inner nudges are often the most honest, helpful guidance you'll ever get.We cover everything from witches and shamans, to Victorian emotional repression, to the modern addiction cycle… and yes, the moments in my own life when intuition slammed into me like a freight train.This isn't about superstition—it's about reconnection. Tuning back in to yourself, to others, and to the deeper stream of intelligence running through all of us.If you've been feeling disconnected, numb, over-stimulated, secretly exhausted, or like you're living 10cm to the left of your actual life… this one's for you.In This EpisodeWhy so many smart, capable adults are terrified of their own intuitionThe cultural training that teaches us to ignore our inner signalsHow denial and addiction quietly build modern burnoutWhy meditation and yoga don't “fix” burnout unless you stop overriding your inner voiceHow loneliness dismantles your nervous systemStories from my own life of intuitive “hits”—the kind that make you question everythingHow subtle energy shows up in healing workWhy reconnecting with yourself is the foundation of real leadershipHow burnout recovery gives you back your early dreams—the ones you quietly shelvedWhat it takes to step into the “bigger you” you've been resistingKey TakeawaysIntuition isn't fringe. It's human.Suppressing your inner experience creates anxiety, addiction, and burnout.Reconnection—not productivity hacks—is what heals you.Your inner voice is rarely wrong. You're just out of the habit of trusting it.Burnout is a transformation process. It pushes you back into contact with the parts of yourself you've been avoiding.The dreams you abandoned still matter. They're signals, not fantasies.When you stop running from yourself, your life stops running from you.If You're Ready to Get Your Mojo BackIf you want support reconnecting with yourself, healing burnout, and stepping into the version of you that actually feels like you—book a time with me at:https://mini.dexrandall.comLet's map out what your next chapter could look like.Send us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Start 1-on-1 burnout recovery at https:/mini.dexrandall.comChat with Dex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

In this episode, Melissa breaks down why not hiring up is one of the fastest ways to cap your business growth and why your job as a CEO is not to be the most qualified person in every function.Sparked by a controversial take on Diary of a CEO (where a guest said small business owners should never hire more experienced people), Melissa shares why she completely disagrees – and what actually works inside real companies.She walks through her own story of becoming a COO overseeing functions she'd never done herself, and how learning to trust and leverage true experts transformed results, retention, and growth.In this episode, you'll hear:Why “never hire someone more qualified than you” is dangerous advice for small business ownersHow talent determines your growth trajectory and why A-players cost more (and are worth it)Melissa's story of becoming COO and leading cybersecurity, procurement, vendor management, and a PMO she'd never personally worked inWhat great leaders really do: identify, harness, and retain talent (not out-execute their team)When it's the right time to hire at the bottom vs. hire strategic, senior rolesThe real reason “hires don't work out” (hint: it's often unclear expectations and weak integration, not skills)How to set clear expectations around:Core values and how they show up in behaviorQuality standards and timelinessBrand representation and public-facing workWhy you must “close the loop” with employees when work is late, incomplete, or off the markHow adding a strong new hire can create “storming” on your team – and what to do so the team evolves instead of implodesWhy only hiring people who know less than you guarantees your business will be limited by your own knowledgeIf you enjoyed this episodeShare it with another small business owner who's stuck trying to do everything themselves.Subscribe to The Opt-In Podcast so you don't miss future episodes on hiring, scaling, and building a business that actually works.If you are looking for help in your business go to https://www.melissafranks.com to learn more.Connect with Melissa: Watch the Episodes on Youtube Instagram: instagram.com/melissa_franks Schedule a call: melissafranks.com

From a traumatic childhood and family loss to becoming a sought-after healer for global leaders and celebrities, Laura opens up about how she turned survival into spiritual alchemy, proving that transformation is not about escaping your past. It's about learning to use it as your light source.How Do You Heal the Parts of You That Formed Before You Could Choose Them?Our early experiences shape us long before we're aware of them. Laura shares how understanding the ego's formation can help us rewrite our internal programming.(1:00) The Prism and the Power of the “I”The Prism is about reclaiming the much-maligned ego, the “machinery” that allows us to create our worldBy age seven, our ego is fully formed; from there, every challenge becomes a catalyst for change.Why change should be taught in second gradeThe ego isn't the enemy of spirituality; it's the structure that gives creation shape.(06:00) Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and the Parentified ChildBecoming the adult at age five for her younger siblingsThe difference between being a motherless child and a parentified child, and how early responsibility shapes identityNormalized a chaotic environment Building resilience through trauma, and observing life rather than collapsing into it(14:00) Intuition, Empathy, and Doing the WorkWhy empathy is “a psychiatric illness”True healing comes not from identifying with others' pain but from finding solutions for them.“Understanding comes five years after you've solved the problem.”Small, tangible shifts, the “doing”, over endless introspection(21:00) Moving Through Pain: Tiny Goals and Practical HealingWhen life feels unbearable, start with small, manageable goals“Deal with the mammal first.” Care for your physical body before chasing spiritual breakthroughs.Hope doesn't precede healing; it follows it. You don't have to feel better to start acting better.“You won't find hope in the depths of your misery. You'll find it in movement.”(29:00) Love, Trust, and BoundariesLove is a choice, not blind faith: “Trust means belief without evidence. I have evidence of my love.”Learning boundaries later in life and how porosity versus structure is a lifelong balance.Avoid “magical thinking” in relationships. Build proof, not fantasy.The healthiest relationships are co-created and constantly evolving(31:00) Turning Intuition Into ImpactHow predicting major business outcomes and aiding in medical breakthroughs became her life's workIntuition is not mystical — it's mechanical: “We are machines in a mechanical world. Change how you operate, and your world changes.”The Prism offers practical exercises for identifying where you feel discomfort and taking one small, different action.You don't need to understand your trauma to heal it. You just need to do something new.(48:00) Living What You TeachHow she lives in...

Send Us a Message!Imagine opening a conversation about sex that begins with safety, truth, and reverence. We invited our community into a live, guided experience of sacred space and the three keys of Tantra—breath, sound, and movement—to show how everyday intimacy can become a powerful energy practice. No jargon, no shock value, just clear tools you can try right away to feel more alive, connected, and grounded.In this episode, we explore:Redefining tantra as experiential energy workWhy sacred space creates feelings of securityThe sacred bubble ritual and heart salutationDesires, fears, boundaries and consent languageTaoist breath loop for grounding and releaseAdding sound to free expression and move energyAdding movement to integrate root-to-crown flowNoticing states, regulating intensity, and integrationMasterclass format, access, and expectationsWe start by reframing Tantra as experiential: a path of expanding aliveness by integrating two inner qualities—steady presence and dynamic flow. From there, we build a sacred container. You'll hear the language we use for desires, fears, and boundaries and how a simple “sacred bubble” ritual shifts the room from casual to consecrated. Then we move into practice. First, a Taoist breath loop that inhales up the back and exhales down the front to rinse the system and settle the mind. Next, we add sound to liberate expression and clear the throat center. Finally, we invite movement—spirals, undulations, subtle sways—to bridge sexual root and spiritual crown.Throughout, we share what to notice: tingling hands, jaw tension, a wave of grief, or a bright, quiet calm. The aim isn't to force fireworks; it's to build capacity. With breath, sound, and movement working together, energy moves, emotions integrate, and intimacy feels safer and more honest. We also outline our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass: one week each for sacred space, breath, sound, and movement, plus a full Q&A. It's fully clothed, consent-forward, and designed for solo or partnered practice.If you're curious about turning connection into a spiritual practice without leaving your values at the door, this conversation is your on-ramp. Listen, follow the guided segments, and notice what shifts. If it resonates, subscribe, share with someone you trust, and leave a review telling us which key—breath, sound, or movement—opened the most for you.Learn about our

“Quantum computing is taking the laws of nature — light, heat, entanglement — and turning them into a new kind of computer. When that happens, the way we think about Bitcoin's security will have to change forever.” — Charlie ShremThis week on The Charlie Shrem Show, we go deep into the strangest frontier yet: the intersection of Bitcoin, cryptography, and quantum computing.Charlie sits down with Olivier Roussy Newton, OG Bitcoiner and CEO of BTQ Technologies (NASDAQ: BTQ) — a company building at the edge where photons meet blockchains. From his early exposure to D-Wave's first quantum computers in Canada to raising capital from Chinese state funds (and getting blocked by the CIA's venture arm), Olivier's story tracks the entire rise of the post-quantum security industry.Together, Charlie and Olivier unpack what it really means when we say “the end of ECDSA,” why the U.S. government plans to deprecate Bitcoin's signature standard by 2035, and how quantum systems could make traditional mining obsolete.They explore how the analog world of nature — light, gravity, superconductors — can replace brute-force hashing, how “Boson sampling” could one day stand in for SHA-256, and why the biggest breakthroughs in computing may come from mimicking God's own architecture.Plus, Charlie shares insights from a recent dinner with Dr. Adam Back and his own stealth research into quantum-mining convergence. This episode isn't just about crypto's future — it's about the future of computation itself.Topics Discussed:From Node.js startups to quantum cryptographyWhat happens when the CIA's VC fund blocks your dealWhy the U.S. and China's quantum race matters for BitcoinThe birth of post-quantum cryptography and NIST's standardsHow quantum encryption could replace proof-of-workWhy consensus itself might become irrelevantHow AI's mainstream boom paves the way for quantum adoptionThe analog vs. digital computing paradigm shift Thank you for listening to The Charlie Shrem Show.

For 230 episodes, I've referenced my "kitchen floor moment" without telling you the full story. After interviewing psychologist Kimberly Stevens about transforming her grief into purpose, I realized: if I'm asking therapists to be brave enough to step outside broken systems, I need to be brave enough to tell you why it matters so much to me.This is the story of my suicide attempt, the months after, and the moment on my kitchen floor—with my young son's hand on my shoulder—that changed everything.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide attempt, suicidal ideation, and mental health crisis. Please listen when you feel ready and have support available.If you're a therapist who's ever felt like the system is breaking you, this episode is for you.Here's what I cover:What therapist burnout actually feels like: panic attacks before every clinic day, doom scrolling between clients, the impossible math of being a new mum with a medically complex child while maintaining a full caseloadThe resentment that builds when you're holding everyone else's pain with nowhere to put down your ownLiving with undiagnosed autism and ADHD while trying to function as a "successful" psychologistThe day I attempted suicide—and why surviving didn't immediately fix anythingThe kitchen floor moment: my son's hand on my shoulder asking if I was okay, and the realization that changed everythingThe shame of being a psychologist who couldn't keep her own mental health together, and the terror of being found "incompetent"The 18-month transition from full clinical load to zero: how I strategically reduced complexity, raised fees, and built coaching alongside clinical workWhy leaving traditional practice felt like professional suicide but staying felt like actual suicide3 Powerful Takeaways:1. Therapist burnout isn't a personal failing—it's a system failure. If you're struggling, you're not broken. The system we were trained in hasn't caught up with the demands of modern practice. The guilt, shame, and isolation you feel? You're not alone.2. Surviving a crisis isn't the same as healing. I got help after my attempt. I went to therapy. But I was still having panic attacks for months because I was still in the same impossible life. Real change required changing the system I was working in, not just managing symptoms.3. You don't need permission to build something different. Leaving traditional practice doesn't mean you're abandoning people. It means you're choosing to help people in a way that doesn't require you to be on a kitchen floor to admit something has to change.If You're Struggling Right Now:You are not alone.Crisis Support:Lifeline (Australia): 13 11 14988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US): Call or text 988

‘'What's inspiring is seeing MBA students shift from seeing leaders on a pedestal to realizing leadership is about collaboration and bringing people along.” - Gerard BeenenDo the next generation of business leaders think about leadership in a totally different way? What if it wasn't about authority, charisma, or titles - but about building trust, creating clarity, and inspiring people to move together toward something bigger? In this special bonus episode, I sit down with Gerard Beenen, professor of management and leadership consultant, to explore how MBA students are rethinking leadership in real time. Together, we connect their reflections to two powerful frameworks - transformational leadership and self-determination theory - and talk about what those ideas mean for anyone leading today.This isn't just theory from the classroom. You'll hear directly from Gerard's MBA students at Carnegie Mellon as they share how their definitions of effective leadership have shifted during their studies. Their voices are honest, insightful, and sometimes surprising - and they might challenge some of the assumptions you've been carrying about what leadership really is.In this episode, you'll hear:The surprising moment in history when leadership research almost disappeared and how it came back stronger than everWhy the old “great person” theory of leadership still lingers in how we think about leaders todayThe full range of leadership styles, from laissez-faire to transactional to transformational, and why transformational leadership continues to inspire changeThe four “I's” of transformational leadership and how they show up in everyday leadership momentsReal stories from MBA students as they move from task-orientation and authority toward collaboration, trust, and long-term purposeHow transformational leadership connects directly to self-determination theory - one of the most influential ideas in motivation researchThe three core psychological needs we all share (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and how they shape motivation at workWhy it's not just about motivating your direct reports - you can apply these theories in 360 degrees with your peers, your leaders, and across your whole organizationPractical ways to create conditions where people feel empowered, inspired, and aligned without putting yourself on the hook to “motivate everyone” all the timeResourcesGerard Beenen on Cal State Fullerton | LinkedIn | Academia.eduWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

Ever felt like so much of what happens at work is utterly meaningless, wasteful and backwards?You're not alone.In this eye-opening conversation with James Healy, founder of Behavior Boutique and author of "BS at Work," we dive deep into why modern work often feels like bullshit.What if the biggest problem in modern work isn't lack of effort, technology, strategy, or "better humans" but the simple fact that we keep designing for humans as if we were some logical machines… instead of messy, emotional, social creatures we are? James reveals the fascinating disconnect between how organizations design systems and how humans actually operate.We've built workplaces on the false assumption that humans are rational, logical beings making careful calculations, when in reality we're "social, emotional, tribal storytelling animals" who often make decisions based on context, ease, and what others are doing.Take modern communication crisis. The average worker now faces 153 Teams messages and 117 emails daily, with interruptions approximately every two minutes. This constant barrage prevents deep work, destroys focus, and fuels burnout. And with AI potentially supercharging this problem.But there's hope.James offers practical principles for creating more human-centered workplaces.What you'll learn:Why burnout is 100% preventable if we stop treating humans like machines.The shocking origin stories of tools like Myers-Briggs and DISC (and why they're no more valid than a Harry Potter quiz).Why e-learnings and endless policies fail.How context, not individual willpower, drives behavior change at scale.Why sometimes the most effective solution is illogical, creative, or has to do with removing, not adding things.The power of storytelling as a leadership tool for influence, motivation, and culture change.... and so much more!

At 25, Jen realized she was stuck in a career that dimmed her—and was quietly battling 15 years of disordered eating. A spark from The Untethered Soul led her into meditation, spiritual tools, and the “observer” mindset that helped her heal, pivot careers, and train as a holistic health coach. In this raw, practical episode, Jen shares exactly how small daily actions and self-kindness rewired her life—and how you can start today.You'll hear:How the “observer” mindset interrupts binge–restrict loopsSimple nervous system resets for stress and sleep (that actually stick)The step-by-step of leaving a misaligned job for meaningful workWhy consistency > intensity when rebuilding habitsFirst moves to start your own healing or coaching journeyIf this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs hope today, and tell us your favorite nervous-system reset. #ZeroDoubtClubhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3DcTbrNfP22bsqc-FsxBaQwww.zerodoubtclub.comwww.zerodoubtkitchen.com@zerodoubtclub@zerodoubtkitchen@jeremytorchlife
