Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
They Are Lying to You. The Self-Help Delusion Federico Malatesta spent fifteen years in the energy business, the last four running operations in Russia, before he walked away to do something nobody who knew him expected: coach people through the parts of life no protocol can fix. His argument is that self-help never had the tools for the job it promised to do, because it treats a human life like an engineering problem instead of a question of wisdom and judgment. If you have ever finished a routine, a protocol, or a book that was supposed to fix something and quietly blamed yourself...

Achievement Addiction Dr. Jack Groppel spent decades filming elite athletes, briefing Congress, and building a company he eventually sold to Johnson and Johnson, all without a single business or speech class. But the accomplishment that mattered most to him, a standing ovation in front of 20,000 people with his father in the crowd, got answered with a compliment about someone else on the program. This conversation names what was actually driving him, and what finally let him put it down. Most people who have built something real have, at some point, worked hard for approval that never...

Your Bank Account Is Your Subconscious Lillian Eve Moore spends her days telling successful people the same uncomfortable thing: your bank account is not a record of bad decisions. It is your subconscious, printed out in numbers. She has spent two decades helping people heal trauma fast, and she keeps finding the exact same law running underneath grief, chronic illness, and the finances people are most afraid to look at. If you have ever noticed a pattern in your bank balance, your relationships, or your health that you can't quite explain, this conversation gives you a way to actually...

Navigating Crazy: How to Live and Work Sanely in an Insane World Most people trying to lead and live well are doing it without an anchor. Mike Staver has spent decades inside the rooms where leaders admit what they will not say out loud anywhere else, and he has reached a blunt conclusion: people do not rise to the level of their intentions. They live at the level of their behavior. If you have ever explained yourself instead of fixing what actually happened, or if your own anxiety has become so normal you stopped noticing it, this conversation names both patterns and gives you a...

Escaping Optimization Culture to Restore Health, Meaning, and a Life That Fits with Ramona Roemer & Andreas Heigl Some of the healthiest-looking patients Ramona Roemer and Andreas Heigl have ever treated were also the most quietly falling apart. Two decades of running a private longevity clinic taught them something the wellness industry doesn't advertise: chasing perfect numbers can make people feel worse, not better. If you've ever tracked every metric you could find and still didn't feel like you had answers, this conversation names exactly what's missing. Ramona and...

He Almost Hit His Biggest Goal. Then Felt Nothing. Mike Brcic built a mountain bike adventure company toward a goal of operating in a hundred and fifty countries, and got close enough to see himself crossing the finish line. Then he felt nothing. What came after: selling the company, sitting with a therapist, and building a new career that takes entrepreneurs into the wilderness to meet the parts of themselves they have spent years avoiding. Most people who build something real eventually hit a version of Mike's morning: the goal in sight, the champagne imagined, and an emptiness nobody...

He was lying in a hospital bed as one of the most senior executives at a public company, wealthy by any measure, when the first thought that crossed his mind was whether he could survive on food bank groceries. Art Blanchford had already built a fortune, lost it, and built it again. The fear never checked his bank statement before it showed up. Art grew up inside a religious cult where love and safety were conditional on performance. That belief followed him into a corporate career where he ran multibillion-dollar divisions of a global company, and it was still running the show even after he...

Dr. Michael Glock spent seventy years earning the right to say something simple. Twenty-eight startups. Two marriages. A doctorate in depth psychology. Talks at Yale, Princeton, and the University of London. And the thing he keeps coming back to with clients is not a strategy. It's a sentence a client said to him days before this recording: standing on a beautiful plot of land, deciding what to build next. Most people chasing the next milestone assume it will finally quiet a low-grade unease they stopped noticing years ago, because it's been there so long it feels like personality....

I'm Still Here: Told Six Months to Live, Three Times Tom LeNoble has been given six months to live three separate times. He has lived with metastatic cancer for fourteen years. In this conversation, he explains why none of that made him slow down, and why the real work after a crisis is not recovery. It is deciding what you are going to do with whatever time is left. If you have ever scome through a hard stretch and gone right back to operating exactly the way you did before it, this conversation names why that happens and what it costs. What was covered: Why Tom's father kept...

He Made the NFL. He Always Saved His Dad a Seat in the Stands Every game Corey Parchman played, in any city, he got to the stadium early and found a seat in the stands. 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. This...
info_outlineThe 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 nearly lost his marriage in his twenties, and what the phone call that saved it actually cost him
- How military infantry training built the discipline framework he still uses in business and fatherhood
- Why comfort is the primary enemy of change, and what it takes to get uncomfortable enough to move
- The compound math of starting today versus starting Monday, and the specific dollar cost of a three-day delay
- What "Warrior to Wealth" actually means, and why it has almost nothing to do with a bank account
- How homeschooling six children became the foundation for three generations now working together on a 200-acre farm
- His five pillars: identity, discipline, financial stability, time freedom, and standards, and why identity has to come first
Key insights:
- Identity precedes every lasting change. Jonathan did not fix his finances or his marriage first. He decided who he would no longer be. Everything else followed.
- Intentionality is not a time-management system. Thirty deliberate minutes with the people you love produce more than twelve hours of physical presence.
- Comfort is not a rest stop. It is a destination that forecloses every other destination.
- The people around you today are shaping the person you are becoming. If you would not introduce your current circle to the version of yourself you are working toward, that is information worth acting on.
- Compounding is invisible in both directions until the gap becomes irreversible.
About Jonathan Berryhill:
Jonathan Berryhill is a former U.S. Army Infantry Sergeant, law enforcement officer, and entrepreneur who built multiple 7- and 8-figure businesses — but only after confronting the one thing that was quietly holding him back: his identity.
He didn’t grow up with stability. By 15, he was on his own, navigating life without a foundation. He found structure in the military, adrenaline in law enforcement, and success in business — but nearly lost his marriage in the process. That moment changed everything.
Jonathan rebuilt his life through faith, discipline, and personal responsibility — not just fixing his marriage, but redefining who he was as a man, a leader, and a father. From there, he went on to build businesses across real estate, healthcare, and government contracting — with his current focus in real estate, where he went from new agent at 43 to building three brokerages, recruiting 50+ agents, and generating seven figures in commissions in just five years.
Today, as the author of Warrior to Wealth, Jonathan speaks to men and entrepreneurs who feel stuck between where they came from and where they know they’re meant to go — helping them stop drifting, take ownership, and build a life that actually lasts.
