Sales Is You vs You: Why Most Techs & Salespeople Lose Before the Call Starts | Scott Sylvan BellMost sales conversations are lost long before the technician or salesperson ever walks into the home. In this episode, Sam Wakefield sits down with Scott Sylvan Bell to break down the internal habits, mindset gaps, and self-leadership failures that quietly sabotage sales performance before the call even begins.This isn't about scripts, closes, or objection handling.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.com“If you want the social benefits of being authentic, how you feel inside may have very little to do with it.” At work, we like to believe we're evaluated on substance. In reality, we're constantly being judged on how we perform— how authentic we seem, how prepared we appear, and how natural we look like in our role. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth speaks with Alexa Samaniego, Presentation Coach and Doctoral Researcher at Stanford University, about how we judge performances and performers — and why those judgments matter far more than most people realize. Drawing from behavioral research, one-on-one presentation coaching, and her background in theater and the performing arts, Alexa challenges some of the most comforting things we believe (“just be yourself,” “don't over-rehearse,” “there's universal best practices for presenting”) and replaces them with a more honest view of how credibility, competence, and connection are actually earned. This is not an episode about becoming fake. But it will get you thinking differently about how you show up at work if you want to better influence outcomes. You'll leave this episode with a much more realistic understanding of how you're really judged — and how to work with that reality, rather than against it.SHOW NOTESAlexa's path from theater and the creative arts to doctoral research and presentation coachingHow her background in performance shapes the research questions she studiesWhat organizational behavior research looks like in practice: an overview of the PhD arcWhy most people under-rehearse presentations — despite clear benefits of repetitionWhy fear of “sounding fake” leads people to underperformAlexa's two distinct definitions of authenticity: authentic to self vs. authentic to roleWhy being perceived as authentic matters more than feeling authenticSpontaneity and consistency as two key drivers of being seen as authenticHow researchers measure authenticity and test perceptions in lab and field settingsThe uncomfortable truth: social benefits depend on how you come across, not how you feelWhy we are always playing roles at work — and why separating intentions from behaviors matters“It only feels inauthentic because it's not habitual yet”Insights from actors on how to step into a role without losing yourselfThe “outside-in” effect: how dress, voice, and physical behavior shape perceptionTradeoffs between authenticity, polish, and competence at workAlexa's third research stream: the double-edged sword of being (and looking) preparedWhen preparation signals competence — and when it backfires as “trying too hard”Why “everything depends”: how Alexa's coaching changed after doing her researchHow universal presentation advice can fail across gender, culture, and contextDrawing from the outside world: how Alexa's theater background differentiates her research lensHorror films, storytelling, and what they reveal about authenticity and self-expressionAlexa's hard truth: research is powerful, but techniques must be practiced before being used in high-stakes settings BIO AND LINKSAlexa Samaniego is a Presentation Coach and a doctoral researcher in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Her research is inspired by her background in theatre and the performing arts, and examines how speakers and audiences judge others. Her research informs her work as a presentation coach in the Stanford Oral Communication Program and with TEDxStanford.

Send me a textDo you ever leave a networking event realising you know exactly what everyone else does… but hardly anyone could say the same about you?You might have had good conversations. You might have felt comfortable, even enjoyed yourself, and yet nothing has come of it. No follow‑ups. No referrals. No real sense that being in that room made any difference to your business.In this episode of Rise From Within, I'm talking about why that happens.This isn't about having a better pitch, being more confident, or forcing yourself to sound salesy. It's about the very common ways women hold back at networking events without realising — asking questions instead of speaking about themselves, minimising what they do, or moving the focus away from their work and asking others about what they do instead.I explore what's actually going on underneath those behaviours, why networking confidence can feel harder the more experienced you become, and how being liked at networking doesn't automatically lead to being remembered or referred.In this episode, I cover:Why networking confidence often looks like being polite, asking lots of questions, and keeping the focus off yourselfThe difference between being socially present and being professionally present at networking eventsWhy confidence at networking events can feel harder, not easier, as your business growsThe cost of being liked at networking but not referredWhat it really means to own what you do without apology in business spacesI also talk about the temptation to say “they weren't my people anyway” and dismiss what's really happened, and why networking isn't just about who buys from you now, but who might remember, recommend, or refer you later.This episode is for you if you're showing up to networking events, feel like you're doing all the right things, and still wondering why it's not translating into opportunities and sales.Support the showGet my emailsFollow on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInWhatsApp me!Eat From Within membershipPersonal Coaching

Many of these insights were hard-earned over the last decade, and all of them have been shaped by the time I've spent hosting this podcast.This episode is for anyone navigating their 30s, questioning their timeline, rebuilding self-trust, and learning how to live with more intention and alignment instead of fear.Tune in to hear lessons including:Why motivation is a myth and systems matter more than disciplineHow confidence is built by keeping promises to yourselfThe importance of finding your career North StarAn antidote to anxiety, and why communication requires emotional regulationWhy community and relationships are essential to healingUsing boundaries properly, ending people-pleasing, and learning to say yes and no with clarityThe health and wellness changes that moved the needle for meRedefining success and how I use my time and moneyCourage over comfort… and why fear doesn't have to disappearChanging paths, changing your mind, and embracing life in chaptersWhy you are NOT behind in life (there is no correct timeline!)If any of these lessons resonate with you, I'd love to hear which one hit hardest.

Bone-Brain Superhighway PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST* Vitality Powers Performance—and Awareness Is the Starting PointThe central theme for 2026 is that vitality directly fuels performance. Drawing on Dr. Dean Ornish's insight that “awareness is the first step in healing,” the podcast emphasizes awareness—physical, mental, social, and spiritual—as the foundation for meaningful change and long-term vitality.* Take a Fierce First Step by Betting on YourselfThe opening call to action is to take a “fierce first step” into the new year, framed as an obligation to one's future self rather than a casual resolution. Vital people confront fear with faith, view obstacles as opportunities, and choose meaningful action despite uncertainty.* Vital Sprints: A 60-Day Focused Framework for ChangeA new initiative called Vital Sprints is introduced—short, time-bound periods of focused effort. The first 60-day sprint centers on cultivating awareness across physical, mental, social, and spiritual domains, offering structure and momentum for sustainable habit change.* Exercise Is a Magic Longevity Elixir (with Massive ROI)The podcast reviews compelling scientific evidence that even 15–20 minutes of daily exercise significantly reduces all-cause mortality, improves longevity, lowers inflammation, enhances brain health, supports the microbiome, and slows biological aging. Exercise is framed as a “modifiable behavioral factor” and a daily deposit into one's Health IRA.* Physical Awareness Is the Overlooked Sixth SenseBeyond strength, endurance, and flexibility, the podcast highlights physical awareness—the body's ability to sense, adapt, and stabilize in real time—as a critical and trainable vitality asset. Simple daily practices like deep breathing, balance (stork stands), proprioception, and “channeling your inner matador” can preserve independence, reduce injury risk, and enhance confidence and performance over time.Copyright, VyVerse LLC, All Rights Reserved.

In this episode, I want to dive deep into one of the most overlooked patterns that keeps us stuck in stress, cravings, and self-sabotage: the scarcity mindset.I'll help you understand how fear, stress, and the feeling of “not enough” shows up in every area of your life — your money, time, energy, body, health, and relationships — and why awareness is the first step toward breaking cycles of emotional eating and unwanted habits.1. What Scarcity Really MeansScarcity is more than money. It's that “not enoughness” that creeps into our thoughts and decisions. I often see it in myself and my clients as:Not enough time, not enough money, not enough worthinessDoing things for everyone else but not for yourselfThe inner critic telling you you're not thin enough, smart enough, or good enoughScarcity is linked to being in protection mode, where your nervous system is constantly scanning for threats and lack.2. Fear is the Root of ScarcityI want you to know — fear isn't bad. It's your brain's signal to guide you toward filling a perceived lack. But when we ignore or numb fear (with food, distraction, or avoidance), we get stuck in a loop of stress and self-sabotage.Here's what I notice:Fear, stress, worry, shame, and doubt all come from scarcityEmotions are here to give us messages, not punish usWe have four primary emotions: fear, anger, sadness, and joy — everything else is a combination3. Hormonal Consequences: Cortisol and InsulinI want to explain why first-order thinking happens and why cravings hijack us:Cortisol: Released when we feel fear or stress. It drives impulsive decisions and hijacks our self-controlInsulin: Our storage hormone. It stores energy and suppresses fat release — especially triggered by stress eating, refined carbs, and late-night snacksUnderstanding how these two hormones interact with fear and scarcity helps explain why cravings, overeating, and stalled fat loss happen — even when we know better.4. From Awareness to ActionHere's what I want you to do:Notice scarcity thoughts and fear triggersStop numbing or avoiding uncomfortable emotionsSee fear as your guide pointing to opportunities and choicesPractice second-order thinking: consider the consequences before actingKey TakeawaysScarcity isn't just about money — it's a lens through which we see the worldFear is not your enemy; it's a signal to guide decisionsStress eating and cravings are tied to cortisol and insulinAwareness and emotional regulation are your first step toward freedomJournal PromptsWhere do I notice scarcity thoughts in my life right now?How do I typically respond to fear or stress?What habits do I use to numb uncomfortable emotions?How might I create a moment of second-order thinking next time I feel a craving or stress?What small actions can help me shift from protection mode to safety mode today?Closing Message from MeScarcity and fear are not weaknesses — they are signals. When we understand our nervous system, our hormones, and our emotional patterns, we can replace self-sabotage with conscious choices and reclaim our sense of safety, freedom, and abundance.

What if success isn't about chasing the next exit, but about finally knowing what's enough?In this Season 16 episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with entrepreneur Jermaine Ee, founder of HeirLight, for a powerful conversation about clarity, legacy, and building businesses that truly matter.Jermaine Ee's entrepreneurial instincts showed up early — from selling custom mixtapes in school to pioneering YouTube product placement years before influencer marketing became mainstream. Since then, he's built and worked across industries including toys, media, politics, and technology.But his most meaningful work came from a personal realization: his parents didn't lack money — they lacked clarity. That insight led Jermaine to create HeirLight, an AI-powered estate planning platform designed to remove fear, shame, and confusion from conversations about assets, legacy, and life planning.Together, Tyler and Jermaine unpack what it means to design your life intentionally, why not every business should raise venture capital, and how self-awareness is often the missing ingredient in entrepreneurship. Key TakeawaysHow early entrepreneurial instincts often show up before “real” businessesWhy most people delay estate planning — and how AI can change thatThe difference between chasing hype and building with purposeWhen to bootstrap vs. when to raise capitalWhy building the right team matters more than doing everything yourselfThe realities of building a business with familyHow to use AI as a tool without losing your humanityWhy clarity may be the most underrated entrepreneurial advantageChapters00:00 Welcome to BizNinja & meeting Jermaine Ee01:00 Selling mixtapes and early signs of entrepreneurship02:30 Discovering YouTube marketing before it was mainstream04:00 Being “forced” into entrepreneurship05:00 Why HeirLight was built07:00 Estate planning, shame, and the messy middle09:00 Legal, design, and scaling challenges10:30 Applying B2B lessons to a consumer startup12:30 Bootstrapping vs. raising capital14:30 Choosing which ideas deserve your focus16:30 Family, failure, and resilience18:30 Building a business with his mother20:30 Working with family without damaging relationships22:00 AI as a productivity tool, not a replacement for humanity25:00 Self-awareness and whose opinions matter26:30 “Clarity is love in practical form”27:30 Redefining success and legacy

To join my January Jump Start go to https://thesalonmentors.com/events-2026In this final episode of the year on Salon Conversation, Lisa reflects on what it really means to close one year well  - without rushing to escape it, fix it, or label it a failure.This isn't a “set your goals and hustle harder” conversation. It's an honest look at growth, grief, joy, boundaries, identity, leadership, and what happens when you stop chasing more and start choosing what actually matters.In this episode, Lisa shares:Why reflecting on the year just lived is more powerful than racing into the next oneHow joy, growth, and clarity often show up quietly — and why we miss themWhat salon ownership teaches us about boundaries, people, money, and self-worthWhy leadership evolves when you stop doing everything yourselfThe lessons learned from letting go, leaning in, and listening more than fixingLisa also reflects on what she's witnessed inside salons this year  - owners getting off the floor, teams stepping up, finances stabilising, confidence returning, and the relief that comes when the business no longer runs the owner.If you're a salon, spa, or clinic owner who feels ready for a calmer, clearer, more intentional year ahead - this episode will land exactly where it needs to.If this episode resonated, Lisa invites you to January Jump Start - a live event designed to help you reset your salon, refocus your leadership, and start the year with clarity, structure, and momentum.This is for owners who don't want another year of:Carrying the business aloneOverworking on the floorManaging instead of leadingJoin January Jump Start here:  https://thesalonmentors.com/events-2026

Most leaders don't fail because they lack vision. They hesitate when vision starts to cost them. In this episode, we explore the leadership threshold where purpose becomes uncomfortable, and conviction is tested. Through the stories of Hershey, Disney, and Jobs, we reveal why discomfort and courage go hand in hand. Press play to discover whether the resistance you feel is fear or the signal you are being called forward.Key Takeaways To Listen ForWhy obedience often requires courage long before clarity ever arrivesHow discomfort can be confirmation that you are walking in alignment, not missing the markWhy God often forms leaders in isolation before He grants influenceThe personal cost that inevitably comes with pursuing a vision bigger than yourselfThe spiritual battle between doubt and conviction that every called leader must faceResources Mentioned In This EpisodeEP303: Radical Purpose, Part 1 - Context MattersEP304: Radical Purpose, Part 2 - Traits are SeedsEP305: Radical Purpose Part 3 - Skills Sharpen PurposeEP306: Radical Purpose Part 4 - The SparkRadical Purpose by Dr. Nate SalahConnect With UsMaster your context with real results leadership training!To learn more, visit our website at www.greatsummit.com.For tax, bookkeeping, or accounting help, contact Dr. Nate's team at www.theincometaxcenter.com or send an email to info@theincometaxcenter.com.Follow Dr. Nate on His Social MediaLinkedIn: Nate Salah, Ph.DInstagram: @natesalah Facebook: Nate SalahTikTok: @drnatesalahClubhouse: @natesalah

Send us a textWhat do you need more of right now?Your brain will say: time, sleep, money, peace on earth, a functioning Epic inbox. Fair.But this week, we're naming the thing that quietly drives everything else: connection.Not “more people.” Not “more social plans.”More moments where you actually feel connected—to your people, to your purpose, and to yourself.Because you can be surrounded all day (patients, staff, family) and still feel… nothing. Or worse: irritated, numb, braced, and already mentally leaving the room while your body is still sitting there.This episode is a gentle—but very real—invitation to come back.In this episode, we talk about:Why connection is often the missing ingredient for stressed, high-functioning women physiciansThe difference between being around people and feeling connectedThe secret ingredient you can't skip: presenceHow to recognize what connection feels like in your body (not someone else's Pinterest version)Three kinds of connection to practice this week:Connection to other humansConnection to a cause/passionConnection to yourselfThe hard truth: if connection feels totally inaccessible right now, that's not a character flaw—it's a signal you need supportYour Week 9 Challenge: Micro Moments of ConnectionPick one focus area this week—don't do all three unless you genuinely want to.Connection to other humansTry one “micro moment” per day:Put the phone down, face someone, make eye contactGive a real hug (not the drive-by shoulder bump)Share one honest sentence instead of your highlight reelBe fully there for 60 seconds (yes, even at the dinner table)2. Connection to a cause or passionIf connection with people feels like… a lot right now, connect to something that matters:Contribute, participate, show up, or simply remember why you careLet your work link you to meaning (even if the system is a mess)3. Connection to yourselfThis one is underrated—and powerful:Notice your self-talk: is it kind, or is it a hostile attending who never goes off service?Try a few minutes of journaling, stillness, prayer, meditation, or a walk with no inputChoose one moment where you stop abandoning yourselfA quick reflection (do this right now)Think of a time you felt genuinely connected. Ask:What did that feel like in my body?What thoughts were present?What made that moment possible?Then choose your tiny practice for the week.Because connection isn't a grand gesture.It's a repeatable skill.You're not behindIf you're joining mid-challenge, welcome.

In today's episode, Casey shares a powerful line she heard while out on a walk- one that stopped her in her tracks:“I cannot call in the next level of woman while still whispering to the one that I already outgrew.”If you've ever felt torn between who you've been and who you're trying to become, this message will land deeply.

You'll learn how to identify what you need to release, what your next-level identity actually looks like, and how to step into a future that aligns with the strongest, healthiest version of you.Inside this episode:Why identity drives every habit, choice, and resultHow old stories keep you from becoming the woman you want to beWhat it means to “whisper” to outdated versions of yourselfThe mindset shift required to step into your next levelA simple reflection exercise to help you let go + move forward with intentionIf you're craving growth, clarity, and a fresh start- this episode will help you walk into the new year with intention instead of hesitation.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

He's not withholding. He's mirroring.⁣⠀⁣Your nervous system is speaking louder than your words ever could.⁣⠀⁣When you feel safe, loved, and trusting — he feels it too.⁣⠀⁣When you're guarded, controlling, or waiting for proof — his energy mirrors that.⁣⠀⁣It's not about chasing, convincing, or performing.⁣⠀⁣It's about who you are being.⁣In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest secrets in dating and relationships: men are mirrors. They reflect back the energy, beliefs, and emotions you carry inside.Here's what we'll dive into:Why men pull away when you focus on them instead of yourselfThe difference between the problem-oriented structure (fear) vs. the creation structure (love)How subconscious programming makes you act in ways that sabotage loveThe shift that makes men lean in, pursue, and want to be part of your worldIf you've ever felt like dating is a frustrating cycle—calm around the men you don't like, anxious around the ones you do—this episode will change everything.✨ Listen now and discover how choosing yourself makes men choose you.Click here for the full show notes. Want to know how your subconscious is shaping the way men respond to you?In my free podcast miniseries, Available For Love, I'll show you how to rewire your internal patterns (yes — even the ones your mirror neurons are reflecting) so you naturally attract emotionally available, masculine love.

This is exactly how the nervous system works when we're under stress.In this week's episode, I share a novel way to find calm in your daily life—by becoming your own best friend.

What if the real risk isn't failure—it's spending your whole life chasing a version of success that was never yours to begin with?That question sparked a radical transformation in Sahil Bloom's life. A NYT best-selling author, entrepreneur, and investor, Sahil once had a sobering realization: he might only see his parents 15 more times in his lifetime. That gut-check moment became a catalyst for deep change—he left his high-powered career, moved across the country, and set out to architect a life rooted in meaning rather than momentum.In this conversation, Sahil shares the mental frameworks, emotional reckoning, and actionable systems he's used to redesign his life. Together, Sahil and Dr. Mike unpack the hidden cost of conventional success, the power of mortality to clarify purpose, and how to build a life worth living.You'll learn:Why “success” can become a trap—and how to redefine it for yourselfThe simple framework Sahil uses to make high-quality life decisionsHow to overcome fear when walking away from something “good”The role mortality plays in clarifying what really mattersStrategies to realign your life around purpose, not performanceThis one's for anyone who wants to rewrite the script on what "success" means to you.Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
