That's where his father was sitting, in his mind. His dad died of a heart attack at thirty nine, when Corey was ten. Corey has spent his career proving he can figure things out alone: five seasons in the NFL after going undrafted, a real estate portfolio he built by never over-leveraging, and now a business acquisition company built to buy small-town companies from retiring owners before they disappear.

Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
Why Your Best People Want You to Leave Them Alone There is a pattern Nathan Jamail has seen across hundreds of organizations, in every industry, at every level. Ask employees what their professional goal is, and most will eventually tell you: to be so good their boss leaves them alone. That is not apathy. That is a signal about how leadership is being experienced. In this episode, Nathan and Rocky go deep on why coaching cultures fail not because leaders lack intention, but because they spend their attention on exactly the wrong people. In This Episode: Why 90% of employees at...

Ep 502 Why High Achievers Hit Invisible Ceilings with Paul Salter
Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
Why High Achievers Hit Invisible Ceilings For five consecutive years, Paul Salter ran a successful coaching business, worked more each year, and landed within $10,000 of the same annual income. The ceiling was real, but it was invisible. It was not his pricing, his marketing, or his effort. It was a belief he had formed as a teenager watching his father fill out a college financial aid form, a belief that said outearning his parents was disrespectful. Once he found it, he was able to move past it. This episode is about how to find the ones you have not found yet. Why this conversation matters...

Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
The Wealth Nobody Sees: Why Frugal Always Beats Flashy For years, Earl Yaokasin drove a 20-year-old Honda Civic to his kids' private school and parked it as far from the entrance as possible. He did not want anyone to see the car. The lot was full of Bentleys. He felt the embarrassment. Then he started talking to those families. Most had almost no savings. Some were on scholarship. The image of wealth and the reality of wealth were completely different balance sheets. Earl, who had been eating half a $5 Subway footlong for lunch since his first years in America, was the one with...

Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
The Changed Mind: From Broken Start to Built Legacy At 15, Jonathan Berryhill had no stable home. By his late twenties he had a military career, a law enforcement career, a college degree he earned as a walk-on linebacker at 25, three kids, and a marriage he was quietly destroying. The moment he saw what he was doing, he made a phone call that split his life in two. This is not a story about hustle or habits or morning routines. It is a story about what happens when a person decides, with no return clause, to stop being who they have been. In this episode: Why Jonathan...

Ep 499 The Root Cause Most Doctors Never Look For with Dr. Yi Song
Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
The Root Cause Most Doctors Never Look For with Dr. Yi Song You have been through the tests. You have the results. You have the prescription. And something still feels unresolved, because the system you went through was built to find what is broken in one place, not to read the whole picture. Dr. Yi Song has practiced at the intersection of traditional Chinese medicine, Western pathology, and regenerative therapy for 25 years. Her argument is not that modern medicine is wrong. It is that it stops too soon, and that the philosophy behind Chinese medicine was already asking the right...

Ep 497 Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking with Joshua Lifrak
Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
Turn Setbacks Into Wins With Neutral Thinking Success does not protect you from feeling stuck. In fact, for many high achievers, the pressure to keep performing can bury the deeper questions that actually matter. This conversation with Joshua Lifrak is about what happens when the old way of thinking stops working and you need a more honest framework for resilience, growth, and living with intention. Joshua knows this terrain from both sides. He grew up around financial scarcity, built a career in elite performance, and lived through bankruptcy before rebuilding. Along the way, he worked...
info_outlineFrom Scarcity to Radical Abundance: Guide to Living Fully
What if your early life experiences—and even the beliefs of your parents and grandparents—were quietly shaping your relationship with time and money?
Dr. Sharon Spano has spent decades helping high-impact leaders uncover those hidden influences and rewrite the patterns that hold them back. With a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, Sharon blends science, personal growth tools, and deep human insight to guide CEOs, entrepreneurs, and consultants toward sustainable success and radical fulfillment.
In this episode of Richer Soul, Sharon reveals why so many high achievers end up with financial success but still feel empty—and how to break free from scarcity thinking to create a life where time and money work together in harmony.
Key Insights:
- Your Money Story Starts Early. Childhood experiences and family beliefs—spoken or unspoken—often define how you view earning, spending, and saving for decades.
- Scarcity vs. Abundance Is a Spectrum. It’s not all-or-nothing. Moderate scarcity and moderate abundance both exist, but the difference is whether decisions are driven by fear or by creativity and possibility.
- The 12 Stages of Human Development Shape Success. Your stage of development affects whether you chase time and money or use them to serve a bigger purpose.
- The Emptiness of Success Is Real. Many leaders reach their goals and still feel unfulfilled—often because they’ve ignored deeper needs for connection, meaning, and self-understanding.
- Generational Patterns Run Deep. Unexamined beliefs from parents and grandparents can quietly influence your financial decisions and your definition of “enough.”
- Radical Abundance Means Contentment in Any Season. It’s about being fully present and fulfilled—whether you have more money, more time, less of both, or somewhere in between.
- Time and Money Decisions Affect Relationships. The way you use these two resources sends powerful messages to your children, partners, and teams—whether you realize it or not.
Money Learnings:
Sharon Spano grew up surrounded by scarcity messages about money. Cultural and religious teachings reinforced the belief that wealth was connected to greed, while her family’s mixed attitudes left her with a conflicted view of success. Over time, her marriage created balance—her natural frugality and worry met her husband’s abundance mindset and faith that resources could be created when needed. Raising a disabled son further deepened her understanding of financial responsibility, planning, and the uncertainty that life brings.
Through her work, Sharon discovered that many people struggle with an imbalance of time and money—some have one but not the other. She also emphasizes that our money habits are often generational, passed down unconsciously from parents and grandparents. Ultimately, she teaches that true abundance isn’t about accumulation, but about contentment, purpose, and alignment with what matters most.
Key Discussion Points:
- How early life experiences shape money habits.
- Scarcity vs. abundance—and the hidden “middle ground.”
- The 12 stages of human development and their impact on time and money.
- Why high achievers often feel the “emptiness of success.”
- Breaking inherited money patterns and creating new beliefs.
- The idea of radical abundance: fulfillment regardless of circumstance.
- How time and money choices affect children and relationships.
- Healing systemic patterns through constellation work.
- Success only matters if it blesses others.
