Ep 466 From Startups to a $941 Million Exits: The Execution Formula for Entrepreneurs with Marc Daniels
10/27/2025
Ep 466 From Startups to a $941 Million Exits: The Execution Formula for Entrepreneurs with Marc Daniels
From Startups to a $941 Million Exits: The Execution Formula for Entrepreneurs Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they lack ideas—they fail because they stop executing. Planning feels safe. Execution exposes reality. Billion-Dollar Coach Marc L. Daniels learned that truth the hard way—from paper routes to startups to a $941 million exit. In this episode of Richer Soul, Marc reveals why 85 percent of business plans fail, how to build the discipline to follow through, and the system that keeps momentum alive even when markets shift. Key takeaways and reflection: Most Plans Fail in Execution, Not Design. A perfect plan on paper means nothing if you don’t act on it. Marc shared that only 7 out of 100 companies both plan and execute effectively. Reflection: How often do you review your goals after you set them? The Rhythm of Success: Quarterly Planning + Weekly Check-Ins. Annual plans fade fast. Marc recommends quarterly focus with a short list of priorities—and a weekly leadership check-in to track progress. This rhythm keeps accountability alive. Reflection: Do you have a weekly rhythm that forces progress on what matters most Trends Are Waves—Learn to Paddle Early. Marc built multi-million-dollar businesses by spotting and riding trends early. But he warns: AI isn’t a trend, it’s table stakes. The key is to distinguish short-term fads from shifts that redefine industries. Reflection: Are you riding the right wave—or chasing shiny distractions? Build Around Core Values, Not Just Skill Sets. Talent without alignment creates chaos. Marc hires for values first, knowing skill can be taught but character can’t. Reflection: Does your team share your values—or are you tolerating misalignment because they perform well? Manage Your Success Before It Manages You. As Marc says, “Learn to manage success.” Growth can destroy a business if systems and habits don’t mature with it. Discipline, boundaries, and reflection are what turn momentum into mastery. Reflection: How are you managing your success so it doesn’t manage you? Planning for the Future Means Expecting Change. Marc’s company once lost its footing when the market shifted overnight. His takeaway: tear up the plan when the world changes. Flexibility beats rigidity every time. Reflection: When was the last time you updated your plan to match new realities? Money Learnings: Marc’s early lessons with money came from necessity—earning his own cash as a kid and even buying his dad new tires when the family couldn’t afford them. That foundation shaped his lifelong belief: cash flow is freedom. In business, he learned the hard way that relying on investors or trends without strong margins is a recipe for collapse. Profitability and discipline—not outside money—create true security. His mantra: get cash-positive fast, manage success wisely, and never stop adjusting your plan. Key Takeaway: Execution is not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most, consistently. Set quarterly goals, hold weekly check-ins, ride the right trends, and build a team that shares your values. That’s how billion-dollar growth is created—one disciplined week at a time. Bio: Marc L. Daniels, known as the “Billion Dollar Coach,” is a globally recognized business strategist who helps entrepreneurs turn vision into growth. With decades of experience guiding companies across 16+ countries, Marc has driven ventures from startup to multimillion-dollar exits, including co-founding Diligent, acquired for $941 million. Through hands-on coaching, workshops, and his Strategic Planning Academy, he equips business leaders to spot emerging trends, execute with precision, and achieve lasting success.

Ep 465 Unlock Your True Potential with Human Design: Create Success That Feels Aligned with Stefanie Carlstedt
10/20/2025
Ep 465 Unlock Your True Potential with Human Design: Create Success That Feels Aligned with Stefanie Carlstedt
Unlock Your True Potential with Human Design: Create Success That Feels Aligned Most entrepreneurs follow every strategy they’re told — post daily, hustle harder, chase the next goal — only to end up exhausted and disconnected from why they started. What if the missing piece isn’t effort, but alignment? That’s the shift Stefanie Carlstedt discovered after building a six-figure business that looked successful on paper but felt completely wrong inside. Through Human Design, she learned how to build a business — and a life — that actually fits who she is. In this episode, we explore how you can do the same. Key Points and Reflections: Your Money Story Shapes Your Energy. Stefanie grew up between two very different money worlds — one abundant, one scarce — and carried those beliefs into adulthood. It wasn’t until she examined her money story that she realized: wealth isn’t moral or immoral; it’s neutral energy that amplifies who we are. Reflection: What childhood belief about money still influences your business decisions today? When Success Feels Wrong. Many founders chase more — more clients, more revenue, more goals — but never define enough. Stefanie calls this “the moving goalpost of achievement.” True fulfillment begins when you design success around your values, not society’s metrics. Reflection: If you stopped measuring success by income, what would fulfillment look like for you? Discovering Your Human Design. Human Design blends ancient wisdom with modern insight to reveal how you’re wired to lead, decide, and create. It’s not a personality quiz — it’s a blueprint for energy. Generators, Manifestors, Projectors, Reflectors — each type has its own rhythm. Once Stef understood her type, she stopped forcing what didn’t fit and started thriving in her natural flow. Reflection: Where are you working against your natural strengths Alignment in Leadership and Teams. Stefanie now helps leaders use Human Design to understand themselves and their people. When teams know how each member operates best, burnout drops and creativity rises. A “people-first” culture isn’t soft — it’s strategic alignment. Reflection: Do you know how each person on your team is wired to work best? From Hustle to Harmony. The ultimate lesson? You can’t copy someone else’s path. Systems and strategies matter, but they only work when they match your design. As Stef says, “Human Design doesn’t put you in a box — it shows you the box you’ve been trapped in.” Reflection: What would your life look like if you stopped chasing and started aligning? Money Learning: Stefanie’s biggest money learning came from realizing that her early beliefs about money were quietly shaping her entire business. Growing up between one parent with abundance and another who struggled, she absorbed the idea that money was unsafe and even wrong to want. That belief drove her to chase milestones for validation rather than fulfillment. It wasn’t until she reframed money as neutral energy—a tool that amplifies who we are—that everything shifted. She stopped hustling for approval and started earning in alignment with her values, discovering that true wealth isn’t just numbers in the bank but peace in how those numbers are made. Key Takeaway: Success that feels good isn’t accidental — it’s engineered through awareness, alignment, and self-leadership. When you honor your design, profit and peace coexist. Bio: Stef Carlstedt is a Human Design business coach and mentor who helps entrepreneurs step out of society’s boxes and create success that actually feels good. After building a six-figure business based on everyone else’s strategies and losing herself in the process, Stef discovered Human Design and everything shifted. Now she guides others to reclaim their spark, release fear, and build lives and businesses aligned with their true design. Through her coaching, workshops, and podcast, Stef empowers women to find clarity, freedom, and fulfillment on their own terms.

Ep 464 How to Dream, Drive, and Deliver with Mike Maddock
10/20/2025
Ep 464 How to Dream, Drive, and Deliver with Mike Maddock
How to Dream, Drive, and Deliver Plan D: How Disruptors Turn Problems into Possibilities Disruptors aren’t pyromaniacs—they’re builders. Mike Maddock has launched seven companies, advised Fortune 100 innovators, and co-chaired the Gathering of Titans at MIT. In this episode, we unpack his Plan D: the mindsets, rooms, and questions that turn pressure into breakthroughs—and why your “ghost” might be your greatest edge. Key Points + Reflection Questions: See possibilities where others see problems. Disruptors reframe first, act second. Reflect: Where am I labeling something a “problem” that might be a doorway? Engineer the room. Great peer groups have diverse lenses: Operator, Strategist, Rainmaker, Visionary, Futurist, Orchestrator. If your room is lopsided, your answers will be too. Reflect: Which lens is missing on my leadership team? Outlaw advice; share experience. “Here’s what I did, what happened, and what I’d do differently” preserves agency and truth. Reflect: What experience can I share instead of advice? Accountability by consent. Ask, “Do you want to be held accountable?” before forcing metrics. Reflect: Where am I imposing accountability before readiness? Your ghost is fuel—know it. The chip on your shoulder can be an edge if you name it and measure it. Reflect: What ghost is chasing me—and how do I chase it instead? Decision frameworks that travel. Use a simple 2×2 (Value vs. Cost) and the value-rank approach for hard, competing-values calls. Reflect: Which 2×2 priorities am I acting on this quarter? Ask better questions (1-3-1). One issue, three options, one recommendation—or one core question, three leading questions, one most important question. Reflect: What’s the single most leveraged question I can ask today? Money Learning: Wealth isn’t a number; it’s the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want—without being distracted by money. Many entrepreneurs can make money but still obsess over it. Systems create freedom; obsession steals it. Key Takeaway: Engineer your environment and questions; the right room + the right prompts turn pressure into possibility. Guest Bio: Mike Maddock is an entrepreneur, author, and coach known as the “Idea Monkey” for his boundless creativity and disruptive thinking. He has founded seven companies—including Maddock Douglas, an innovation consultancy that served more than a quarter of the Fortune 100, and Flourish Advisory Boards, a peer community for growth-minded CEOs. A contributor to Forbes and Inc., and author of four books including Plan D, Mike helps leaders reframe problems into possibilities and rediscover the joy of doing what they want, when they want, with whom they want—without being distracted by money.

Ep 463 The Spiritual Practice That Literally Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers

Ep 463 The Spiritual Practice That Literally Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers
The Spiritual Practice That Literally Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers The Spiritual Practice That Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers What if the path to real success wasn’t money, titles, or material possessions—but the ability to connect with your heart, shift your energy, and live in coherence? In this episode of Richer Soul, Regan Caruthers shares her remarkable journey from Silicon Valley executive to yoga teacher and spiritual guide—and how a daily practice of devotion and gratitude literally saved her life. Key Lessons: Money Doesn’t Equal Meaning. Growing up between a wealthy but absent father and a struggling mother, Regan saw firsthand that money doesn’t guarantee happiness. We Are Programmed—But We Can Reprogram. From education to cultural conditioning, much of what we believe isn’t ours. Regan challenges us to reclaim sovereignty. HeartMath Made Simple. Regan explains coherence: 5/5 breath through the heart while recalling gratitude. This physiological shift unlocks higher reasoning and emotional balance. Listening to the Inner Voice. A trusted inner voice told Regan to return to St. Louis—leading her to the hospital that saved her life. Discipline and Devotion Over Distraction. Phones, screens, and noise steal our attention. Regan reminds us that devotion requires time reclaimed for silence, meditation, and love. Gratitude Shifts Energy. Listing what you’re grateful for isn’t enough—you must feel it. Embodied gratitude changes your frequency. Eternal Perspective Reframes Fear. Recognizing our divine and eternal nature removes the grip of fear and redefines how we live. Money Learning: Regan Caruthers shares how growing up between extremes of wealth and scarcity taught her that money doesn’t guarantee happiness—and that true success comes from coherence, gratitude, and devotion. A former Silicon Valley executive turned spiritual teacher, Regan explains how practices like HeartMath, meditation, and embodied gratitude rewire our inner operating system, helping us move beyond programming, distraction, and fear. Her story—including how listening to an inner voice literally saved her life—reminds us that while money provides security, it is meaning, discipline, and divine connection that create true wealth. Key Takeaway: Success without coherence is empty. True wealth comes from disciplined devotion, daily gratitude, and listening to the inner voice that knows the way. Guest Bio: Regan Caruthers began her path with meditation and Tai Chi at the age of three, but rejected her early training in pursuit of worldly success. She rose quickly as a Silicon Valley corporate executive in educational software, but achievements couldn’t heal the brokenness within. Returning to her spiritual roots, she dedicated her life to teaching discipline, devotion, and conscious connection. Today she is the founder of Aset Yoga Center in Missouri, offering one-on-one coaching, yoga classes, and her Ready to Awaken courses.

Ep 462 Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems with Adam Kahane
09/23/2025
Ep 462 Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems with Adam Kahane
Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems Radical Engagement: 7 Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems We blame “the system,” but systems are just elements + relationships + results. If that’s true, then changing a system means changing how we relate and respond—daily. Adam Kahane, author of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, shares seven habits that let ordinary people move complex issues forward—at work, in community, and at home. Key Points: Radical Engagement (the umbrella). Engage with the system—alert, curious, relational—rather than lecturing at it. Reflect: Where am I “arms-crossed”? What would leaning forward look like this week? Relate in Three Dimensions. Actors: parts of a whole working toward an outcome. Parties: distinct interests and incentives. Kin: fellow humans with dignity and emotion. Reflect: Which dimension do I overuse? Which do I ignore? Look for What’s Unseen (and unheard). We discover blind spots by listening to people in other positions in the system. Reflect: Who sees what I can’t? Who’s the one person I should interview this week? Work with the Cracks. Systems aren’t smooth; they’re full of fissures where change can start. Reflect: Where’s one small opening I can ring “the bell that still can ring”? Experiment a Way Forward. Run small, safe-to-try tests instead of debating perfect plans. Reflect: What’s a 2-week experiment I can launch with current resources? Collaborate with Unlike Others. We don’t need identical values to work together; cities function because strangers cooperate daily. Reflect: Which “unlike other” is essential to my goal—and how can I invite them in? Persevere—and Rest. System shifts take years; pace yourself so you can stay in the game. Reflect: What boundary or rhythm would keep me sustainably engaged? Money Learning: Profit follows structure and structure follows relationships. Your market, team, vendors, and regulators are the system. Profitable change happens when you: map incentives (party dimension), humanize conflict (kin), and design experiments that prove value quickly (actors). Key Takeaway: Don’t wait for perfect alignment or a perfect leader. Practice one habit in one crack this week. Guest Bio: Adam Kahane is a renowned facilitator and author who has helped leaders across the world—from South Africa’s transition to democracy to cross-sector climate initiatives—work together across deep differences. His latest book is Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems.

Ep 461 From Bomb Blast to Abundance: Aaron Hale’s Story of Grit and Growth
09/23/2025
Ep 461 From Bomb Blast to Abundance: Aaron Hale’s Story of Grit and Growth
From Bomb Blast to Abundance: A Story of Grit and Growth “Complacency Kills”: Aaron Hale on Grit, Humor, and the Discipline of Doing Hard Things Most of us wait for confidence before we act. Aaron Hale lost his sight in service—and later his hearing—then chose to act anyway. He rebuilt a meaningful life with courage, craft, and a lot of humor. In this episode, we unpack the mindset that turns struggle into service and purpose into action. Key Insights: Ban the word “can’t”. When you say “can’t,” you shut off innovation and potential. Leadership is given before you feel ready. Aaron was thrust into responsibility; growth followed action. Reframe: “Why is this happening for me?”. This shift unlocked resourcefulness after the blast and during recovery. Purpose can be a small “p.”. Thanksgiving fudge became a business, service, and momentum. Abundance flows through you. Cut the bottom out of the cup and let it pour to others; fulfillment follows. Do something uncomfortable daily. Five-minute rule: show up, then expand. Habits > hype. Complacency kills; growth requires motion. You’re either green and growing or brown and dying. Money Learning: Aaron’s story proves that wealth isn’t just financial—it’s also resilience, resourcefulness, and the ability to create opportunity from adversity. The same mindset that pushed him to complete an ultra-marathon and launch businesses can help anyone build sustainable financial freedom: start small, be consistent, and keep growing even when it’s uncomfortable. Key Takeaway: Trade excuses for experiments. Start with the smallest hard thing, serve someone with it, and let momentum carry you. About Aaron Hale: Aaron Hale is a US Army EOD veteran, real estate investor, entrepreneur, podcaster, and ultra-endurance athlete. After a tragic injury overseas took his eyesight and later meningitis stole his hearing, Aaron hit rock bottom. Instead of staying there, he rebuilt his life as a husband, father, real estate investor, successful entrepreneur, speaker, and top-rated podcast host. He even became the first blind and deaf person to complete the Badwater 135 ultra marathon—one of the world’s toughest races. His mission is clear: to inspire others to make small, positive habit shifts that unlock the success already within their reach.

Ep 460 Invisible Distortions: Why We Misunderstand Each Other (and How to Stop) with Erin Pheil and Evan Walton
09/18/2025
Ep 460 Invisible Distortions: Why We Misunderstand Each Other (and How to Stop) with Erin Pheil and Evan Walton
Invisible Distortions: Why We Misunderstand Each Other (and How to Stop) Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “How did that go so wrong?” You were clear. They were clear. And yet somehow, you both walked away feeling misunderstood, hurt, or even resentful. Erin and Evan call these hidden forces “distortions.” They’re like funhouse mirrors in our relationships—subtle patterns, beliefs, or unspoken feelings that bend what we say and hear. Left unchecked, distortions quietly erode connection, fuel resentment, and create conflict that seems impossible to solve. In this episode of Richer Soul, we explore how to see distortions, name them, and clear them—so that relationships (at home, in business, and even with money) flow with more peace and ease. 👉 If you’d like to go deeper into Erin’s personal story and her work on rapid transformation, revisit her earlier episode here: Ep 362: Rapid Transformation – How to Unlock Your Potential with Erin Pheil Key Insights from This Conversation: Distortions Are Invisible Until You Name Them. Much like money scripts, distortions are unconscious patterns—beliefs, judgments, or emotions that warp how we interpret others. Once named, they lose their hidden power. Resentment Traps & Behaffing. Erin and Evan share examples like “resentment traps” (when someone offers something they don’t actually want, creating hidden tension) and “behaffing” (acting on someone’s behalf without checking if it’s what they want). These patterns often feel kind, but secretly create disconnection. The Link Between Distortions and Money Mindset. Just like growing up with the belief that “rich people are evil” can sabotage wealth, unspoken beliefs and judgments in relationships create friction. Both are distortions that quietly drive our choices. Level Two Conversations Build Connection. Most of us stay in surface-level chats. True healing comes when we share our real experience—“I felt sadness when X happened”—without accusation. This opens space for empathy, clarity, and connection. Clearing Distortions is Liberating. The moment distortions are brought into the open, assumptions dissolve and laughter often replaces resentment. As Erin says, “We get to clear it in real time, and suddenly everything feels lighter.” Money Learning: Evan grew up with the story that money was hard to earn—yet inside he held a contrarian belief that it had to be easier. This push-and-pull mirrors how distortions show up: subconscious scripts we don’t question, but which silently shape our decisions about money, work, and worth. Key Takeaway: Distortions thrive in silence. The moment we slow down, notice what we’re truly feeling, and share it without accusation, connection becomes possible again. About Erin & Evan: Erin Pheil Before entering the world of mindset and transformation, Erin founded and scaled an award-winning web agency for 17 years. In 2018, she launched The MindFix Group, where she has since helped high-performing entrepreneurs and leaders across the world overcome their stuckness, frustrations, relationship challenges, inner limitations, and mental roadblocks. Today, Erin facilitates private coaching and world-class retreats that create profound breakthroughs for her clients. Evan Walton Evan co-founded and scaled an Amazon business in his early 20s before discovering his true passion—helping people heal. He now works with entrepreneurs and their families to release difficult traumas, reconnect with themselves, and rebuild confidence when they don’t know where else to turn. His work focuses on creating wholeness, clarity, and ease in both personal and professional lives.

Ep 459 From Drug Runner to $60M Exit: Jason Sisneros’ Redemption Story
09/09/2025
Ep 459 From Drug Runner to $60M Exit: Jason Sisneros’ Redemption Story
From Drug Runner to $60M Exit: A Redemption Story Most of us never stop to think how much our past — the pain, the wounds, the survival patterns — shape our future. For Jason Sisneros, that past meant delivering drugs at age 12, becoming a violent debt collector at 16, and nearly losing his life in a knife fight. But his story didn’t end there. He rebuilt himself, learned directly from legends like Tony Robbins and Keith Cunningham, and eventually achieved a $60 million exit. In this episode of Richer Soul, Jason shares the hard-won wisdom he’s gathered along the way — wisdom that goes far beyond business. It’s about redemption, freedom, and creating a custom-tailored life. Key Insights & Reflections: Your past doesn’t define your future. Jason’s childhood trauma and early involvement in crime could have set his destiny. Instead, he chose to break the cycle for his son. Reflection: What generational patterns are you committed to ending Entrepreneurship is a self-development journey. Businesses reflect their owners. If you bring unhealed wounds into your company, they will magnify. If you do the inner work, your business becomes a vessel for growth. Reflection: What does your business mirror back to you about yourself Everybody exits — how matters. Jason explains the three types of exits: involuntary, dictated, and custom-tailored. Only the last one creates freedom. Reflection: What would a “custom-tailored exit” look like for your life or business? Profit is a tool for freedom, not vanity. Living for cars, jets, and hype marketing leaves you trapped. Redirecting profits toward a “freedom account” creates choices that last. Reflection: Are your financial decisions moving you toward freedom — or away from it? Wisdom outlasts trends. Fads come and go, but principles endure. Jason believes true success is rooted in servant leadership, ethical business, and responsibility. Reflection: What timeless principle can you anchor your decisions in today? Redefine gratification, don’t delay it. True satisfaction comes not from consumption, but from aligning your life with what matters most. Reflection: What would it mean to redefine what “gratification” looks like for you? Jason’s Money Lessons: Jason grew up believing money belonged only to the rich — and that breaking the law was a valid way to get it. That belief led him into crime until a near-death experience forced him to change. Over time, he learned that money is simply a tool — one that either enslaves or frees, depending on the choices you make. Key Takeaway: Success isn’t about the number on your exit. It’s about who you become along the way, and whether your business serves as a path to freedom, integrity, and impact. About Jason Sisneros: Jason Sisneros is a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and advocate for business owners. From his early struggles and near-death experience, he rebuilt his life, became a top speaker for Tony Robbins, and went on to build and exit multiple companies — including a $60 million exit. Today, through his platform Built to Exit, he helps business owners design custom-tailored strategies that create both wealth and freedom.

Ep 458 Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns and Rewiring Your Brain for Success with Adele Spraggon

Ep 458 Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns and Rewiring Your Brain for Success with Adele Spraggon
Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns and Rewiring Your Brain for Success Rewire Your Brain: Adele Spraggon on Breaking Free from Hidden Patterns Like many of you, I’ve seen firsthand how money stories and old habits can run our lives without us even realizing it. I work with business owners every day who want more profit, more freedom, but they’re trapped in repeating cycles—just like I’ve been in my own journey. Our guest today, Adele Spraggon, is an award-winning author, international speaker, and behavioral change expert. In her book Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment, Adele reveals how the brain runs on hidden patterns that keep us stuck—and more importantly, how to rewire them for freedom and success. This isn’t about willpower or positive thinking. It’s about giving your brain the tools to let go of what no longer serves you, and allowing new patterns to emerge that fit the life you actually want. 5 Key Insights from Adele Spraggon: We Live by Patterns, Not Choices. Most of what we call “decisions” are actually neural pathways our brain built in the past. We’re on autopilot more than we realize. Reflection: Which area of your life feels stuck on repeat Change Happens by Subtraction, Not Addition. Instead of piling on more strategies, affirmations, or tools, Adele teaches that true freedom comes by removing unhelpful patterns. Reflection: What would shift if you stopped adding solutions and simply let go of the root problem? The Body Holds the Truth. While the mind replays the past and projects the future, the body is always in the present. By tuning into sensations and emotions, we discover the real issues beneath the surface. Reflection: What is your body telling you about the problems you keep circling? Surrender is Not Weakness. Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s becoming a witness to what’s actually happening inside. From that space, old patterns naturally dissolve. Reflection: Where in your life are you resisting instead of surrendering? Identity is Fluid, Not Fixed. We’re not one static self. We’re shape-shifters, capable of adopting new identities as we rewire our brains. Change is easier than we think—once we know how. Reflection: Who could you become if you stopped clinging to outdated labels? Money Learnings: Adele grew up in a home where money was either abundant or scarce, with nothing in between. That volatility shaped her early patterns around spending and saving—habits that drained her account as quickly as money came in. Her story is a reminder: your financial results often mirror the unconscious money patterns you inherited. Until you rewire them, the cycle continues. Key Takeaway: True empowerment doesn’t come from forcing yourself to be different. It comes from recognizing the brain patterns that no longer serve you and giving yourself permission to let them go. About Adele Spraggon: Adele Spraggon is an award-winning author, international speaker, and trainer recognized for her expertise in behavioral change. She has been awarded the 2020 Woman of Inspiration Award and is the author of Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment. With a master’s degree in humanities, a lifetime of teaching, and a deep study of neuroscience and psychology, Adele helps people across the globe break free from hidden mental patterns and step into lives of freedom, peace, and purpose. Through her work, Adele has empowered thousands to rewrite their inner programming, overcome self-sabotage, and unlock the adaptability that makes change not only possible, but natural.

Ep 457 Radiant Longevity: A Physician’s Guide to Living Longer, Stronger, and Happier with Dr. Julianna Lindsey
09/03/2025
Ep 457 Radiant Longevity: A Physician’s Guide to Living Longer, Stronger, and Happier with Dr. Julianna Lindsey
Radiant Longevity: A Physician’s Guide to Living Longer, Stronger, and Happier What if aging didn’t have to mean decline? What if living longer also meant living stronger, healthier, and with more joy? That’s the message Dr. Julianna Lindsey brings in this powerful conversation. Drawing on her background in internal medicine, functional and integrative care, and her own family roots in holistic living, she shows us why longevity isn’t about a magic pill—but about the intentional choices we make every day. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Money Mindset: Dr. Lindsey shares how she was shaped by her financial mentor, Pete Mahurin, and why she chose to raise her children with transparency around money, teaching them that wealth is a tool, not a crutch. The Healthcare Myth: Why our system is designed to manage disease, not cure it—and how we can take back responsibility for prevention and healing. Diet and Exercise as Cornerstones: Forget the fad diets and extreme regimens—longevity comes from sustainable, natural ways of eating and moving. Time as the True Currency: Money can be regained, but time is the one resource you never get back. The Role of Trauma: How unprocessed trauma lives in the body, fueling chronic illness, and why releasing it is essential to long-term health. Sleep, Breathwork, and Stress: The often-overlooked pillars of longevity that influence everything from mood to metabolism. Practical Longevity Practices: From growing some of your own food to breathwork that calms the nervous system in minutes, Dr. Lindsey offers simple, science-backed tools for extending healthspan. Money Learning: Julianna’s money story began with the absence of financial education in school—and the gift of a mentor who stepped in. Her financial mentor, Pete Mahurin, helped her understand banking, debt, and savings, shaping how she and her husband would later teach their own children. Unlike many physician families who unintentionally raise entitled kids, Julianna and her husband chose a different path. They were transparent about money—how it comes in, how debt decisions are made, and what it means to live within your means. Her perspective is clear: Mentorship matters. Seek out people who understand money better than you and learn from them. Transparency matters. Children thrive when money isn’t taboo but part of their education. Intentionality matters. Wealth is not about throwing money at problems but about aligning time, values, and choices. Key Discussion Point: Longevity isn’t about finding the next magic supplement or drug. It’s about aligning your lifestyle—food, movement, rest, relationships, mindset—with what truly nourishes you. Every small, intentional choice compounds over time, creating not just more years in your life, but more life in your years. About Dr. Julianna Lindsey: Dr. Julianna Lindsey’s new book, Radiant Longevity: A Physician’s Protocol for Living Your Best Life, is available wherever books are sold. You can also explore her work at RadiantLongevity.com Links: Website: LinkedIn: Instagram: Facebook: Where in your life are you settling for “managing” instead of healing? Are your daily choices aligned with the long-term health you want? What one small habit could you adopt today that would compound into greater vitality over time? Your life is built one choice at a time. Start today—choose a healthier meal, take a walk, breathe deeply, or let go of an old burden. Longevity begins in the smallest of moments. #RadiantLongevity #Longevity #Healthspan #AntiAging #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealth #HealthyLiving #MindsetShift #PurposeOverProfit #RicherSoul Watch the full episode on YouTube: Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Ep 456 From Scarcity to Radical Abundance: Sharon Spano’s Guide to Living Fully
08/28/2025
Ep 456 From Scarcity to Radical Abundance: Sharon Spano’s Guide to Living Fully
From 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. About Dr. Sharon Spano: Dr. Sharon Spano helps high-impact leaders break through what’s holding them back to become better leaders—for themselves, their families, and their businesses. With a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, Sharon combines science and personal development tools to help CEOs, consultants, and entrepreneurs achieve sustainable growth and radical fulfillment. Sharon specializes in addressing the “emptiness of success” often experienced by high achievers. These leaders may turn to masterminds, therapy, or courses, yet still feel stuck. Through her transformational work, Sharon guides them to uncover hidden barriers, including generational trauma, so that they can step into their full potential. She is the host of The Other Side of Potential, a podcast exploring the intersection of leadership, success, and personal growth. Sharon is also the author of The Pursuit of Time & Money. Her mission is to inspire leaders to move beyond pressure-driven success to a life of true abundance.

AI Changes the Game – AI won’t take your job, but someone using AI will. Learn to leverage it or risk being left behind.

The “One Complaint Rule” and how it transforms mindset and results. How to find joy in difficult moments, including layoffs and business pivots.

Ep 454 Ego Death, Business Rebirth with Vince Covino

Ep 454 Ego Death, Business Rebirth with Vince Covino
Ego Death, Business Rebirth When Success Isn’t Enough: Vince Covino on Killing the Ego and Leading with Heart What if the very beliefs that drove your success are the same ones keeping you from peace? Many high achievers wake up one day with money in the bank but an emptiness in their soul. They followed the rules—worked harder, earned more, and climbed the ladder—only to find that fulfillment doesn’t live at the top. Vince Covino knows that battle intimately. His story is a blueprint for what happens when you dismantle everything—ego, dogma, and old programming—to build a life rooted in alignment, love, and purpose. Vince went from chasing “false profits” to living as a heart-centered leader. His transformation didn’t come from another business tactic or financial win—it came from questioning every belief he inherited, shedding ego, and investing in his own inner world. Today, Vince teaches entrepreneurs that the greatest ceiling in business is not operational—it's personal. Break through the ego, and the business (and life) follows. Pillar-Aligned Takeaways: [Purpose] Challenge Your Programming: Most of what we believe about success, money, and identity was installed before age 8. Vince urges us to confront those scripts—because until you question them, they run the show. [Faith/Inner World] The Power of Ego Death: Your ego guards the doorway to growth. Vince’s story shows how humiliation, criticism, and deep inner work can become the very tools that dismantle ego and create lasting peace. [Relationships] Truth with Love (The Lotus Sword): Business breakthroughs follow personal ones. Vince shares how learning to deliver truth with compassion strengthens trust, deepens leadership, and transforms culture. [Wealth] Omni-Win Capitalism: Putting people first—employees, customers, and community—creates sustainable profit. As Vince explains, heart-centered leadership is not anti-profit. It’s the ultimate profit strategy. Money Learning: Vince’s biggest money revelation? Profit is not proof of alignment. He once believed wealth was a sign of God’s favor. Now, he sees it as a tool—a byproduct of serving people and living authentically. When you prioritize purpose and relationships, profit follows naturally. Guest Bio: Vince Covino leads by example, where business mastery meets heart-centered, transformational leadership. As the visionary CEO of WarriorSage, he helps entrepreneurs scale while staying aligned with their values. Vince has scaled multiple companies to eight figures, raised over $50 million in capital, and guided countless founders toward integrating purpose, leadership, and legacy. Links: Website: YouTube: LinkedIn: Key Discussion Points: Escaping the prison of dogma and discovering inner truth. How plant medicine and mentorship accelerated Vince’s transformation. The relationship between ego death and true leadership. Why investing in your inner world pays the highest returns. The future of business: heart-centered leadership and AI. How shifting from shareholder value to stakeholder value unlocks profit and impact. Why deep relationships and community are the ultimate success metrics. If Vince’s story challenged the way you see success, share this episode with a leader or entrepreneur in your world who needs to hear it. The shift from ego-driven to heart-centered leadership isn’t just personal—it’s how we change the culture of business itself. #RicherSoul #HeartCenteredLeadership #EgoDeath #EntrepreneurMindset #InnerWealth #PurposeOverProfit #AlignedLiving #SoulShift Watch the full episode on YouTube: Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Ep 453 The Truth About Enough: Neel Parekh on Money, Freedom, and Living Your Own Script
08/06/2025
Ep 453 The Truth About Enough: Neel Parekh on Money, Freedom, and Living Your Own Script
The Truth About Enough: On Money, Freedom, and Living Your Own Script What if “enough” wasn’t a number… but a mindset? We spend our lives chasing more—more money, more status, more certainty—believing it will finally buy us freedom. Yet for many of us, every milestone only moves the goalpost. Neel Parekh’s story is a radical invitation to step off that treadmill and ask: What if you could stop running and start living? Neel Parekh didn’t just leave the corporate grind; he walked away from the inherited scripts of “safety first” and “play it small.” After years in private equity, Neel traded spreadsheets for a backpack and spent seven years traveling to 55+ countries. Along the way, he discovered that wealth wasn’t about accumulation—it was about alignment. Neel now runs a fully remote, million-dollar franchise business while helping others reclaim time, location, and financial freedom. His transformation isn’t just about building a business—it’s about rewriting the definition of success so it serves your soul, not your fear. Pillar-Aligned Takeaways: Mindset (Inner Wealth): Your upbringing writes your money story—but you get to edit the script. Neel’s shift from scarcity-driven habits (like guilt over ordering an appetizer) to conscious, values-based spending shows how identity drives financial freedom. Purpose (Life Design): Traveling the world revealed a profound truth: there is no single “right” way to live. Your life is a choose-your-own-adventure book—and freedom comes when you start turning your own pages, not the ones handed to you. Wealth (Profit with Simplicity): Neel’s embrace of Profit First brought simplicity to his finances—proving that financial clarity isn’t about complex spreadsheets but about creating systems that make intentional living automatic. Time (Lifestyle Freedom): Building a business that runs remotely gave Neel the ultimate currency: time. His story is a reminder that the real ROI isn’t just money—it’s the ability to design your days around what truly matters. Money Learning: “The most elusive part of money isn’t how much you make—it’s knowing when you have enough.” Neel’s breakthrough came when he realized “enough” is an inner state, not an external milestone. By separating his financial systems into clear buckets (like Profit First) and redefining success by freedom, not comparison, he shifted from chasing wealth to living it. Guest Bio: Neel Parekh is the Founder and CEO of MaidThis & MaidThis Franchise, the first cleaning franchise built for remote operators and short-term rental hosts. After leaving private equity, Neel backpacked across 55 countries while building his business, proving that financial and lifestyle freedom can coexist. Now based in Los Angeles, he helps entrepreneurs escape the 9-to-5 and build location-independent businesses rooted in simplicity, profitability, and purpose Links: Website: LinkedIn: @NeelBParekh Instagram: @NeelBparekh X: @NeelBparekh YouTube: @NeelBparekh Podcast: Freedom Formula Podcast Key Discussion Points: Why “enough” is more about environment and mindset than bank balance. How Profit First creates financial peace through structure. Why travel dismantles the illusions of “one right path”. How entrepreneurship becomes the ultimate self-development tool. Why contentment is not the enemy of ambition—it’s the foundation for it. The surprising link between spirituality, business growth, and identity shifts. Where in your life are you still chasing “more,” hoping it will finally feel like “enough”?

Ep 452 AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm with Rocky Lalvani
07/31/2025
Ep 452 AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm with Rocky Lalvani
AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm "If you knew the world was about to change forever… would you brace for impact or learn to ride the wave?" We’re living in a moment of seismic transformation: AI is rewriting the rules of work, demographics are reshaping economies, and the Fourth Turning is challenging every institution we once trusted. Yet most people are frozen—clinging to outdated maps while the landscape beneath them crumbles. This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity. Because history doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. And if you learn to hear the rhythm, you can move with it, not against it. The transformation isn’t about technology—it’s about agency. You don’t need to predict every future trend. You need to become the kind of person who can adapt faster than the world changes. This episode will help you shift from being a passive observer of change to an active participant in shaping it. When you stop resisting the wave and start riding it, you don’t just survive—you gain freedom. 4 Pillar-Aligned Takeaways: [Wealth] The End of "Set It and Forget It": Globalization is fracturing, inflation is real, and AI is upending industries. The era of blind trust in systems is over—you must design your own financial playbook. [Purpose] From Survival to Significance: If AI could give you all the money you’d ever need, what would still get you out of bed? That question will anchor you when the old ways of working no longer apply. [Health] Resilience Is the New Currency: Mental and physical strength aren’t optional—they are your first line of defense against uncertainty. Without health, you can’t ride the wave. [Time] Choosing the Lead Domino: In a world of infinite noise, focus is freedom. Master one skill or habit at a time to build compound momentum. Money Learning: "Abundance starts when you stop needing the outcome." The biggest money shift in this episode is learning to see wealth not as a finish line but as a tool. Your financial choices aren’t about “winning” the game—they’re about creating optionality in a world that won’t stop changing. About Rocky: Rocky Lalvani serves as Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners. He teaches them how to ensure they get paid and make profit a priority! As a certified Profit First Professional, he implements Mike Michalowicz's Profit First System. We change the accounting formula of Sales - Expenses = Profit to Sales - Profit = Expenses. This ensures Profit comes first! (PS. It's not about money at all costs, people come before money!) Rocky started with nothing when his parents immigrated to the United States when he was two years old, and his parents were in their 40's. It was his parents' second time starting over in life as they moved here to experience the American dream. Despite a lot of struggles and his mom passing away when Rocky was 7, he has achieved financial and life success. Rocky loves to share his journey and inspire others to achieve their dreams even faster.

How AI will erase some jobs while creating room for higher-value human work. The collapse of globalization and the rise of local, regional economies.

Ep 451 Why Your Business Growth Has Stalled (Hint: It’s You) with Brad Farris
07/24/2025
Ep 451 Why Your Business Growth Has Stalled (Hint: It’s You) with Brad Farris
Why Your Business Growth Has Stalled (Hint: It’s You) Your business isn’t growing—and the problem isn’t your strategy or the market. It’s you. Is your business stuck? Are you working harder than ever—but not seeing results? Most entrepreneurs think the answer is more hustle, better tactics, and a bigger to-do list. But what if the real problem isn’t out there? What if it’s you? Brad Farris has spent 20 years helping service firm owners and entrepreneurs break through growth plateaus. His insight? Your business can only grow as much as you do. And if you’re at $1M or beyond, the mindset that got you here won’t take you further. In this episode, Brad Farris reveals why hustle stops working after $1M, what mindset shifts every entrepreneur needs to scale, and how to lead from the inside out so your team and business can thrive. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this conversation will change how you think about growth forever. In this conversation, we explore what’s really holding you back—and how to shift: Why hustling harder won’t scale your business (and what will). The mindset shift every owner must make around $1M and beyond. How to focus on the top 10% and bottom 10% for maximum leverage. Why flow beats grind—and how to reclaim energy by eliminating drains.

Ep 450 The Silent Conversations Controlling Your Success with Chuck Wisner
07/14/2025
Ep 450 The Silent Conversations Controlling Your Success with Chuck Wisner
The Silent Conversations Controlling Your Success The Conversations Silently Controlling Your Life The Dialogue Beneath the Surface You’ve checked the boxes. Career, family, personal milestones—on paper, it all looks good. So why do certain moments still feel tight, disconnected, or misunderstood? Here’s a truth most people never stop to consider: It’s not just what you say to others. It’s what you don’t say. And more importantly—what you’re constantly saying to yourself. In this episode of Richer Soul, we sit down with Chuck Wisner, author of The Art of Conscious Conversation, to explore how our everyday communication—spoken and unspoken—shapes the quality of our lives. 5 Soul-Level Insights from Chuck Wisner: (This isn’t about talking better. It’s about living more consciously.) You’re not responding to the world—you’re reacting to your internal story. Most people move through life guided not by truth, but by assumptions. Chuck shows how these hidden “storytelling conversations” create unnecessary conflict and block deeper connection. Listening is more than hearing—it’s a form of presence. In a distracted world, true listening has become rare. Chuck explains how deep listening can heal relationships and dissolve tension—without needing to fix, defend, or solve. Emotions aren’t problems to avoid—they’re invitations to go deeper. Using his Spiral of Emotions model, Chuck reframes emotions like fear and anger as gateways to growth—if we’re willing to stay curious rather than reactive. You can’t have peace with others if you’re at war within. Most of us speak from defense or habit. Conscious communication starts by noticing your own thoughts—and choosing which ones deserve your voice. Transformation starts in the pause. The space between what you feel and how you respond is where true change lives. Chuck helps us reclaim that space—and use it to build more honest, loving, and meaningful connections. Why This Conversation Matters: We often think our challenges are about time, stress, or misalignment with others. But many of those outer struggles stem from one overlooked place: How we speak. How we listen. And the unconscious patterns we never question. This episode is an invitation to pause—and begin again, more aware, more present, and more connected. Money Learning: What if the way you talk about money is shaping the way you experience it? Chuck’s framework reminds us: Every financial decision begins with a conversation—either with others or with yourself. For many successful people, money becomes a language of control, security, or identity. But when we stop and examine the emotions behind those conversations—fear, scarcity, pride—we begin to see how our words around money often reveal deeper stories about worth and safety. This episode invites you to ask: Are your money conversations driven by truth—or by unspoken fear? By bringing more presence and honesty to how we speak about wealth, we open the door to more peaceful, purpose-aligned choices. Guest Bio: Chuck Wisner has spent 30 years as a trusted advisor, coach, and teacher in communication, human dynamics, and leadership excellence. He has worked with leaders and their teams in Fortune 200 companies. He also trained in mediation and worked as a senior mediator affiliated with the Harvard Mediation Program at the Harvard Law School, and later, was associated with MIT’s Center for Organizational Learning. His book, The Art of Conscious Conversations – Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact (BK Publishers, Oct. 22, 2022), explores how to heighten our awareness and become more conscious in our conversations. Links: Website- chuckwisner.com LinkedIn- Facebook- Instagram- X- Book- The Art of Conscious Conversations – Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact- Key Discussion Points from This Episode: Why most conversations are driven by unconscious emotional patterns—not conscious choice. How “storytelling conversations” shape your worldview and sabotage your relationships. The hidden cost of trying to “fix” instead of listen. What it really means to pause between reaction and response—and why it’s a spiritual practice. The Spiral of Emotions: how fear, anger, and shame can evolve into clarity and creativity. How to recognize when your ego is running the dialogue. The difference between conscious communication and controlling conversation. What Chuck learned from his own journey—from architect to spiritual communicator—and why presence changed everything. Share This with Someone You Care About: If something in this episode helped you see your conversations—or yourself—differently, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who’s ready to grow through a deeper kind of communication. Because real change doesn’t happen all at once. It happens one conscious conversation at a time. #RicherSoul #ConsciousCommunication #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #InnerPeace #SpiritualGrowth #SoulSuccess #MindfulLiving #PurposeOverPerfection #LifeClarity Watch the full episode on YouTube: Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Ep 449 Lonely? Your Brain’s Begging for Connection with Dr. Paul Zak
07/11/2025
Ep 449 Lonely? Your Brain’s Begging for Connection with Dr. Paul Zak
Lonely? Your Brain’s Begging for Connection How Dr. Paul Zak Decoded the Neuroscience of Trust and Human Connection What if the secret to happiness, purpose, and even financial success lies in your brain’s chemistry—and in how often you hug others? Have you ever wondered why we trust some people instantly and others not at all? Why love feels so healing—and why certain leaders inspire loyalty while others trigger fear? At the heart of these mysteries is a powerful brain chemical: oxytocin. “Oxytocin is a gift you have to give to somebody else.” – Dr. Paul Zak In this Richer Soul episode, Dr. Paul Zak, affectionately known as Dr. Love, reveals how understanding our brain's biology can transform the way we lead, parent, connect, and even build wealth. 🧠 The Inner Shift: From Disconnected to Deeply Human Paul’s story begins in modest, frugal roots—raised by a planner’s mindset and a banker aunt who taught him the magic of compound interest. But his true transformation happened in the lab, where he uncovered something remarkable: our brains are wired for connection, trust, and empathy. Through groundbreaking neuroscience research, Dr. Zak discovered that oxytocin—the “love hormone”—is the biochemical key to cooperation, generosity, and emotional well-being. It’s not just science; it’s a call to live more open-hearted lives. 4 Pillar-Aligned Takeaways: 1. Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Balance: The Science of Hugs: Want to build trust quickly? Skip the handshake and go straight for a hug. Paul found that physical touch stimulates oxytocin and makes people feel safe and connected—fast. Trust Is a Neurological Strategy: His studies showed that people with higher oxytocin levels were more generous and less likely to hurt others emotionally or physically. 2. Career and Purpose: Leadership Through Connection: Zak’s research influenced how companies design cultures of trust. His Immersion Neuroscience platform even measures what content the brain “loves” in real time—powering better storytelling, learning, and engagement. 3. Relationships and Connection: “Hugs Not Drugs”: Rather than medicating to connect or calm, we can engage in meaningful eye contact, shared joy, and emotional vulnerability to foster natural brain-based bonding. Empathy = Protection: When you increase someone else’s oxytocin, you activate their empathy. This reduces harm and strengthens bonds—at home, at work, and in society. 4. Continuous Learning and Curiosity: Lifelong Curiosity in Action: Paul considers himself a Martian, observing human behavior through experimentation to understand why we do what we do—because we often can’t explain it ourselves. Money Learning: Frugality and Trust Over Flash Raised in a family that struggled with money, Paul’s early education in wealth came from his aunt: “Understand the magic of compounding,” she taught. Now a seasoned entrepreneur and neuroscientist, Paul still lives by frugality—not for scarcity, but for freedom. He calls himself “cheap with joy,” focusing on value over vanity. “Why waste money? I love good things, but I don’t buy frivolous stuff.” His wealth philosophy echoes what Richer Soul listeners know well: true abundance begins in mindset, not materialism. Guest Bio: Dr. Paul J. Zak Dr. Paul Zak is a Distinguished University Professor at Claremont Graduate University and a pioneer in the field of neuroeconomics. Ranked among the top 0.3% of cited scientists, he’s the founder of Immersion Neuroscience and a regular TED speaker. Paul’s work spans from the Pentagon to Papua New Guinea, helping brands, leaders, and everyday people better understand what our brains love—and why it matters. Links: X: @pauljzak LinkedIn: The Little Book of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Living Better: Key Discussion Points: Why human beings are wired for generosity, not just survival. The surprising link between oxytocin and business success. How to raise trust levels in any environment—without tech or therapy. The value of emotional data in education, leadership, and content creation. What’s one relationship in your life that could be transformed by more empathy and connection? Start there. Maybe it just begins with a hug. This Episode Is for You If: You’re curious about the science behind trust and love. You lead a team and want to foster real loyalty and collaboration. You’ve felt disconnected in a hyper-digital world. You want to parent, love, or lead more intentionally. “It’s hard to get your own brain to make oxytocin. You have to give it to others—and they’ll give it back.” – Dr. Paul Zak Let this episode be your brain’s love letter to humanity. 🎧 Listen now.

Ep 448 Creating the Vision for Your Life with Corey Kupfer
Creating the Vision for Your Life What does it take to break free from a scarcity mindset and rise to the top as a master negotiator and dealmaker? On this compelling episode of Richer Soul, Corey Kupfer shares his raw journey from paycheck-to-paycheck roots to building a powerhouse law firm and consultancy focused on high-stakes negotiation and deal-making. If you've ever doubted whether your background could limit your future success, this is the episode that will blow your mind—and redefine what’s possible. Key Takeaways: Your Money Mindset Can Be Reprogrammed. Corey’s early life was shaped by scarcity—“money’s hard to come by,” “budget everything”—but he did the inner work to shift to a mindset of abundance and strategic wealth creation. The Courage to Go Solo. At 31, with zero clients and no financial safety net, Corey left a secure legal job and launched his own firm. He used credit cards to pay rent and still found the resilience to build from scratch. Negotiation Is a Skill Anyone Can Master. Corey breaks down the three pillars of authentic negotiating: Clarity, Detachment, and Equilibrium—tools anyone can use to stop overthinking and start winning in both business and life. True Success Requires Internal and External Alignment. Wealth isn’t just about money—it’s about being purpose-aligned, values-driven, and empowered to create lasting impact through your work and your deals. Money Learning: From Scarcity to Strategy Corey’s relationship with money started in a fear-driven, budget-focused household. The breakthrough came when he realized that despite early professional success, his subconscious beliefs were holding him back from building real wealth. He invested deeply in personal development, challenged inherited financial scripts, and reshaped his thinking to embrace abundance, philanthropy, and purpose-driven prosperity. Lesson for Listeners: No matter your past, you can rewrite your money story—and your results will follow. About Corey Kupfer Corey Kupfer is a seasoned entrepreneur, attorney, consultant, and professional speaker with over 35 years of deal-making experience. He’s the founder of Kupfer & Associates, PLLC, a top-tier corporate law firm, and DealQuest, a platform for empowering deal-driven entrepreneurs. He’s also the bestselling author of Authentic Negotiating and host of the top 1% ranked DealQuest Podcast. Key Discussion Points: Breaking out of limiting financial beliefs rooted in childhood. Going from high-salary corporate law to entrepreneurial uncertainty. The psychological and practical tools behind Authentic Negotiating. How entrepreneurs can use clarity, detachment, and equilibrium to win big. Why “working harder” doesn’t lead to wealth—and what actually does. Building a legacy through impact, philanthropy, and alignment. Conclusion: This episode isn’t just about making deals—it’s about making change. Corey’s story proves that no background is too humble, and no challenge too big, when you're aligned with purpose and armed with the right mindset. If you’re ready to rewrite your relationship with money, embrace your inner negotiator, and take bold steps toward financial independence, this is your blueprint.

Ep 447 Harnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education with Steve Cunningham
06/21/2025
Ep 447 Harnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education with Steve Cunningham
Harnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education If you're still hoping AI is a trend that’ll pass, you might already be behind. In this electrifying episode of Richer Soul, Steve Cunningham, founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School, joins us to unpack how to thrive in an AI-powered economy — not just survive it. Steve doesn’t just teach AI. He shows people how to use it, apply it, and prove their value in a rapidly shifting landscape. With the workplace transforming faster than ever, his Learn–Apply–Prove (LAP) model is exactly what professionals, business owners, and even solopreneurs need to remain irreplaceable. This isn’t about coding or becoming a data scientist. It’s about clarity, confidence, and competence — and how to build those with AI tools that are already available. Key Takeaways: AI Will Not Replace You — But Someone Using It Will. Steve warns that the danger isn't AI itself — it's not knowing how to work alongside it. The ones who succeed will be those who embrace augmentation, not automation. Learning Alone Is a Trap — Proof Is the New Power. Knowledge is cheap. Execution is everything. That’s why the LAP model focuses on not just learning, but applying your skills immediately and proving your value in real-time. Don’t Be a Turkey: Recognize the Pattern Before It’s Too Late. In his upcoming book, Don’t Be a Turkey, Steve draws a powerful analogy: turkeys get fed every day and assume life is good… until Thanksgiving. The lesson? Disruption doesn’t warn you before it arrives. Prepare now. The Fastest Way to ROI in the AI World? Simple Systems, Not More Content. Most people drown in AI content but never take action. Steve believes simplicity is the unlock, and we need fewer inputs and more structured, intentional application. Money Learnings: Steve was raised to think like an entrepreneur — making money was natural. But he didn’t learn how to keep it until much later. He realized that financial success today isn’t about how much you earn — it’s about how you think, especially in a world where AI can generate income with fewer resources and smarter decisions. About Steve Cunningham: Steve Cunningham is the founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School (SABS) — the first AI-first business school in the world. With a background in law, marketing, and education, Steve has a proven track record of building tools and frameworks that help people master new skills quickly. His mission? Equip professionals to become AI-augmented high performers who are prepared for the workforce of tomorrow. His upcoming book, Don’t Be a Turkey, is set to launch in 2025. Key Discussion Points: Why traditional education is too slow for today’s pace of change. The real threat of AI isn’t job loss — it’s skill irrelevance. Why “learners” aren’t succeeding anymore — doers are. How to build AI competence without becoming technical. The new rules of credibility: results > resumes. What professionals should focus on right now to stay employable. How solopreneurs can turn AI into a profit multiplier. Conclusion: If you're feeling behind in the AI revolution, this episode is your reset button. Steve Cunningham doesn’t just hand out theories — he provides a practical map to upskill, adapt, and lead in a transformed economy.

Ep 446 Are You Ready to Win with Matthew Mitchell

Ep 446 Are You Ready to Win with Matthew Mitchell
Are You Ready to Win What does it take to lead with discipline, win with humility, and still prepare for life’s curveballs? In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive deep with Matthew Mitchell, a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, and the most successful women's basketball coach in University of Kentucky history. But this isn't just a story about sports — it's a playbook for life. Whether you're a business leader, parent, or someone seeking personal growth, Mitchell’s “Winning Tools” framework — built on honesty, hard work, and discipline — can help you build resilience and prepare to win in any arena. Key Takeaways: Preparation Is Leadership’s Superpower. Great leaders succeed before the spotlight ever hits — Mitchell shares how rigorous preparation transforms uncertainty into confidence. The Real Value of Money in Sports. From coaching top college athletes to observing financial pitfalls, Mitchell underscores the importance of early financial literacy, especially in high-income, short-lived careers like sports. Transferable Wisdom from the Court to Life. Winning in basketball taught Mitchell the critical importance of mindset, team-building, and daily discipline — lessons that apply just as well in the boardroom or at home. Faith, Family, and Focus. Mitchell emphasizes anchoring your life in deeper values — faith, purpose, and the long game — to weather challenges with grace and perspective. Money Learning: Financial Literacy for the Next Generation of Stars Mitchell’s time in collegiate athletics showed him how dangerous financial illiteracy can be, especially when young athletes are handed millions without the education to manage it. His advice? Make financial literacy a mandatory part of coaching and development — because windfalls are fleeting, but wisdom compounds. He also discusses the misperception that $5 million means you're set for life — after taxes, agents, and lifestyle creep, that fortune can vanish fast. His call to action: equip the youth with knowledge before the contracts arrive. About Matthew Mitchell: Matthew Mitchell is a celebrated coach, bestselling author, and dynamic speaker. He is a three-time SEC Coach of the Year and led Kentucky women’s basketball to its first SEC Championship in 30 years. His book, Ready to Win: How Great Leaders Succeed Through Preparation, encapsulates his Winning Tools principles: honesty, hard work, and discipline. He now channels his passion for preparation and leadership into inspiring others to find resilience, growth, and success beyond the court. Key Discussion Points: Growing up in rural Mississippi with strong values and simple living. The overlooked business side of sports and the cost of financial ignorance. The story behind “Winning Tools” and how discipline beats talent. Why failure is a necessary ingredient for leadership. Making transitions after a high-intensity career. The difference between being prepared and being reactive. Balancing ambition with integrity and family priorities. Conclusion: What Will You Do Differently? This episode isn’t just inspiration — it's a call to action. Ask yourself: Are you preparing like a leader, or winging it? Are you teaching your kids about real-world money before they learn the hard way? What discipline gaps are holding you back from winning consistently? Matthew Mitchell’s wisdom transcends the court. If you want to lead with clarity, live with purpose, and win in the long run — this episode is your starting whistle.

Ep 445 Wake Up to Your True Self: Anthony De Mello with Don Joseph Goewey
06/09/2025
Ep 445 Wake Up to Your True Self: Anthony De Mello with Don Joseph Goewey
Wake Up to Your True Self What if the biggest myth of self-improvement is that something about you is broken? In this episode of Richer Soul, we reconnect with spiritual guide and author Don Joseph Goewey, who shares powerful insights from the timeless work of Anthony De Mello — a man whose teachings remain profoundly relevant in our chaotic modern world. Don returns with an exciting update: a beautifully crafted awareness deck designed to distill De Mello’s wisdom into bite-sized, transformative prompts. This episode is a wake-up call — not to become someone else, but to awaken to the magnificence of who you already are. Key Takeaways: “You Are Not Broken” – De Mello’s radical message flips the script on self-help. There’s nothing wrong with you — only layers of illusion to peel away. Soundbites of Spirituality – Don shares how Anthony De Mello mastered impactful, tweet-sized wisdom decades before social media existed. Awareness Over Achievement – True transformation doesn’t come from fixing but from seeing — becoming conscious of your inner narratives and breaking free. Legacy of Light – Don discusses how the DeMello Spirituality Center is digitizing and revitalizing Anthony’s archives, bringing life-changing messages to a new generation. Money Learnings: While this episode is less focused on finance, it tackles one of the greatest blocks to wealth: internal misalignment. If you believe you’re broken, you’ll sabotage wealth, relationships, and joy. De Mello’s teachings can shift your mindset from scarcity to sufficiency — a necessary precursor to financial freedom. About Don Joseph Goewey: Don is the Executive Director of the Center for Spiritual Exchange, which manages Anthony De Mello’s archives. His work spans neuroscience, spiritual psychology, and leading psycho-spiritual approaches to trauma. Don has served in high-stress environments — from refugee camps to hospital wards — helping people reclaim inner peace. He’s the author of The End of Stress and continues to guide others in awakening through De Mello’s work. Key Discussion Points: The origin and mission of the DeMello Spirituality Center. Anthony De Mello’s core message: awakening, not fixing. Why De Mello’s book Awareness remains a bestseller decades later. How the new Awareness Deck distills spiritual truths into daily prompts. The problem with most self-help: it reinforces the idea you’re broken. Using soundbites to elevate consciousness. The impact of post-COVID awareness shifts. Embracing spirituality as a practice of presence, not performance. Conclusion: Pause the pursuit: Stop trying to fix yourself and start observing your internal stories. Pick up the deck: Use the De Mello Awareness Deck for a daily dose of spiritual clarity. Practice presence: Set aside 5 minutes a day to notice your thoughts without judgment. Question your programming: Ask, “Who told me I’m not enough?” and gently let go.

Ep 444 Remember Who You Are: A Journey to Spiritual Awakening with Sophia West
Remember Who You Are: A Journey to Spiritual Awakening What if the key to unlocking abundance isn’t more hustle… but more healing? In this thought-provoking episode of Richer Soul, host Rocky Lalvani welcomes Sophia West, founder of the Noetic Alchemy Center and a deeply intuitive energy mentor. Together, they dive into the world of biophotonic signatures, energy facilitation, and ancient wisdom—and how these esoteric practices tie directly into money, mindset, and personal transformation. From her early struggles with financial insecurity to leading a global movement of spiritual alignment, Sophia’s journey shows us that money trauma and energy blocks go hand in hand—and both can be healed. Key Takeaways: Money Trauma Is Real—and Energetic. Sophia opens up about her financially comfortable upbringing, which failed to prepare her for the financial struggle she faced in early adulthood. Her "financial ouch" isn't just a story—it's a resonant wound many of us carry unknowingly. Your Energy Tells a Story—Are You Listening? Through her work with biophotonic energy and noetic alchemy, Sophia helps clients become attuned to the silent but powerful signals their bodies and energy fields are sending. Spiritual Alignment Isn’t Woo—It’s Strategy. Sophia integrates ancient wisdom with practical modern life tools, guiding people to reclaim inner power that translates into real-world success, fulfillment, and peace. Healing Is a Gateway to Prosperity. Sophia emphasizes that true wealth starts within. By identifying and releasing energetic imprints tied to fear, shame, or lack, you unlock a higher potential for abundance and joy. Money Learnings: Sophia’s financial lessons came not from formal education, but lived experience. Despite an affluent childhood, she wasn’t taught financial literacy. Marrying young and facing financial struggle, she learned the hard way how emotional wounds around money can manifest as lifelong patterns of fear and scarcity. Her healing journey reveals: Money beliefs are often inherited unconsciously. Emotional and spiritual healing can directly shift financial outcomes. Teaching financial and emotional intelligence to the next generation is essential for breaking cycles. About Sophia West: Sophia West is a mentor, intuitive guide, energy teacher, and Integrative Health Practitioner. Founder of the Noetic Alchemy Center, she leads ancient wisdom studies and Reiki classes, and supports spiritual journeys through modalities like energy healing, biophotonic diagnostics, and noetic facilitation.

Ep 443 The Power of Gratitude with Don Williams

Ep 443 The Power of Gratitude with Don Williams
The Power of Gratitude What if the key to massive business success wasn’t about selling harder — but about serving deeper? In this electrifying episode of the Richer Soul podcast, we sit down with Don Williams, a serial entrepreneur, 8-time author, and the voice behind “The Proven Entrepreneur Show.” Don takes us beyond business blueprints and shares the soulful philosophy that’s powered his multi-decade journey working with half of the Fortune 500. Raised with baling wire fixes and $5 junkyard fridges, Don grew up with strong Midwestern values and a reverence for saving, service, and self-reliance. But this isn’t a story about frugality — it’s about learning how to help others help others, and building scalable business success through intention, emotional intelligence, and micro-learning. Key Takeaways: Micro-Learning is the Future of Growth. Don explains how bite-sized learning — done the right way — can teach even complex sales and leadership skills in record time. Sales is a Transfer of Enthusiasm. With a deep background in customer experience, Don reframes sales as something positive: "Enthusiasm sells." Put People First: The Y.O.U & M.E. Values. Don’s values are deceptively simple — “You and Me.” It’s about putting others first, offering outstanding effort, and staying mission-focused. Helping Others Help Others is the Ultimate Fulfillment. Don’s personal mission — and his challenge to listeners — is to create a ripple effect by empowering others to uplift those around them. Money Learning: Frugality With Purpose Don’s childhood shaped his relationship with money profoundly. Raised in a family that fixed everything before replacing anything, he inherited values of delayed gratification and practical spending. His grandfather — a slumlord by today's terms — was rich in assets but lived modestly, tracking rental income on brown grocery bags to avoid buying notebooks. This episode reveals how frugal beginnings can fuel entrepreneurial fire — especially when combined with the desire to give and serve. About Don Williams: Don Williams is a business growth strategist, 8x author, and podcast host with a passion for helping others, help others. Over the past 30 years, he has worked with hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, advising them on sales, customer service, and marketing strategies that deliver measurable results. He’s also the founder of The Microlearning Academy and The Proven Entrepreneur Show. When not building businesses or writing books, Don lives outside Fort Worth, TX with his wife Leta (a.k.a. “the redhead”), their children, and grandchildren. Key Discussion Points: Don’s “perfect” childhood and his frugal, values-driven upbringing. The origin of “You & Me” as a personal and business philosophy. Lessons from a grandfather who tracked rent payments on grocery bags. The power of micro-learning to transform employee performance. How to build emotional connection into the sales process. The real secret to scaling a service-based business. Conclusion: Stop selling, start serving — treat every sales call as a mission to help. Simplify your values — consider Don’s Y.O.U. & M.E. model in your business or personal life. Invest in micro-learning — break down your skill-building into short, intentional lessons.

Ep 442 Rapid Internal Rewiring with Stephanie Kwong
Rapid Internal Rewiring What if your biggest block to wealth, love, and happiness isn’t external—but coded into your subconscious? Meet Stephanie Kwong, subconscious reprogramming expert and co-founder of the Rapid Rewire Method. She’s the secret weapon to top performers, helping them break the cycles of trauma, scarcity, and self-sabotage that keep them stuck—despite outward success. In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Stephanie opens up about her own money wounds, her path to emotional mastery, and the revolutionary tool that can dissolve trauma in under 60 minutes. Key Takeaways: Success Without Self-Love is Emptiness in Disguise. Stephanie reveals that even billionaires and celebrities silently suffer from deep wounds and a lack of self-acceptance. Money Memories from Childhood Shape Your Financial Future. From privilege to scarcity, Stephanie’s conflicting money experiences created subconscious patterns that led to recurring debt cycles. Healing Doesn’t Have to Take Years. With the Rapid Rewire Method, it’s possible to release limiting beliefs, trauma, and emotional blocks—in less than an hour. The Real Path to Abundance is Internal. True wealth begins with feeling safe, worthy, and abundant—regardless of external circumstances. Money Learning: Stephanie grew up surrounded by conflicting money messages—privilege from her father’s success, but emotional neglect and scarcity post-divorce. Her childhood taught her that money equals abandonment, love deprivation, and family conflict. These subconscious associations led her to unconsciously repel wealth—even as she earned it. Only through deep subconscious work was she able to break the pattern and create a healthy relationship with money. Bio: Stephanie Kwong is a highly trained subconscious reprogramming expert and co-founder of the Rapid Rewire Method. With over 14 years of experience, she helps high achievers dissolve emotional blocks and limiting beliefs to access next-level peace, power, and fulfillment. She’s the go-to coach for some of the top 1% performers, and her method blends advanced scientific and spiritual modalities for fast, lasting transformation. Key Discussion Points: Stephanie’s emotional relationship with money rooted in family dynamics and cultural expectations. The turning point: a $60 parking ticket that led to a total money mindset transformation. Why self-love is the missing link in high-achiever success stories. How trauma is stored in the body and how Rapid Rewire can release it fast. The shocking reason why some people resist healing (even when they say they want it). Stephanie’s story of leaving the entertainment industry and launching her coaching career in Italy. Why peace and calm can be uncomfortable for those who grew up with low-grade anxiety. The real meaning of spiritual healing without substances—how Rapid Rewire accesses non-dual states naturally. Eight pillars of self-love and why most people fail to embody even one. The power of breaking generational trauma for future freedom. Conclusion: Stephanie Kwong’s story is a reminder that real transformation begins within. Whether you’re a high-performer stuck in invisible loops or someone yearning for peace, her Rapid Rewire Method proves that healing can be fast, simple, and sustainable.

Ep 441 The Power of Neurofeedback on Brain Health with Melissa Hergert
The Power of Neurofeedback on Brain Health What if the key to unlocking peak performance, healing trauma, and overcoming anxiety didn’t lie in medication — but in rewiring your brain itself? In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive deep with Melissa Hergert, CEO of BrainTrain Centers, who went from being born in a homeless shelter to leading a growing mental wellness empire. Her story is a powerful testimony to the strength of mindset, the science of neurofeedback, and the journey from survival to abundance. Melissa reveals how neurofeedback therapy is changing lives — from kids with ADHD to veterans with PTSD, and even aging adults battling memory loss. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to take control of their mental fitness and unlock their full potential. Key Takeaways: Neurofeedback Rewires, Not Just Reframes. It works on your brain’s physical processing patterns, not just your thoughts — helping with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and more. Trauma, Nutrition, and Environment Are Root Causes. Many “disorders” are just symptoms of deeper issues like unresolved trauma or sugar-laden diets. AI Is the Future — Even in Therapy. Melissa is building AI-powered phone assistants to educate potential clients — showing that automation and empathy can co-exist. Healing Starts at Home. From what you feed your kids to the environment they grow up in, brain health starts with daily decisions. Money Learning from Melissa: Melissa grew up thinking money was only for survival — you work, you pay bills, repeat. Abundance was never part of the equation. But today, she’s rewiring not just her brain, but her financial beliefs. She's learned the importance of respecting money, building an emergency fund, and breaking the generational cycle of scarcity. Her biggest financial advice to young adults? Build good credit and remember: college is not the only path to success. About Melissa Hergert: Melissa Hergert is the CEO and visionary behind BrainTrain Centers, a national leader in neurofeedback therapy and mental health. With a Master’s in Addiction Counseling, Melissa blends clinical insight with entrepreneurial innovation. Her centers help children, veterans, professionals, and seniors achieve better brain function and emotional regulation. Melissa is also a speaker, wellness advocate, and devoted mom of two. Key Discussion Points: Why she started her business using a $4,000 student loan check. How operant conditioning via Netflix and sensors is changing therapy. What peak brain performance looks like for pro athletes like Tiger Woods. The role of heart rate variability and breathwork in mental clarity. When medication and neurofeedback work together, not apart. Why the first question she asks is about goals, not symptoms. What neuroplasticity really means — and how it changes lives. Why parents should skip the cereal and start kids on protein breakfasts. How she uses ChatGPT to explain complex science to her clients. Powerful stories of transformation: from non-verbal kids to adults reclaiming purpose. Conclusion: Melissa Hergert proves that your past does not define your potential. Through science, strategy, and heart, she’s helping people reprogram their brains — and their lives. Whether you’re a parent, entrepreneur, or someone looking to reclaim mental clarity, this episode offers hope, tools, and a roadmap to transformation.

Ep 439 Finding Your Purpose with Nate Ewert

Ep 439 Finding Your Purpose with Nate Ewert
Finding Your Purpose What if the path to wealth, happiness, and fulfillment isn’t in doing more — but in feeling more? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Nate Ewert joins Rocky to share how he helps men break free from unconscious survival patterns and step into lives of true purpose and alignment. Through his work with Igniter Men’s Group and Somatic Synergies, Nate bridges ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed healing practices to guide transformation from the inside out. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you're seeking deeper emotional freedom and clarity in life, this episode reveals the subtle, yet profound shifts that unlock authentic success — not just externally, but within. Key Takeaways: Healing Isn't a Luxury — It's Foundational. Nate emphasizes that unresolved trauma impacts your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and even how you handle money. Real transformation begins by learning to feel safe in your body. Masculinity Needs a Redefinition. Men are often conditioned to suppress emotion and “man up,” but Nate shows how true strength lies in vulnerability, community, and nervous system regulation. You Don’t Need to Be Broken to Grow. Many of Nate's clients come to him not because they’re falling apart, but because they know there’s more. More purpose. More depth. More alignment. And they’re ready to go deeper. Somatic Work Is the Missing Link. Talk therapy often stays in the head. Somatic healing helps release stored trauma and energy from the body — the place where transformation really begins. Money Learnings: Nate’s early money story was shaped by scarcity and survival. He shares how financial lessons were limited to rules like "save 10%," but these didn't help when fear and nervous system dysregulation ran the show. Through deep inner work, he’s transformed his relationship with money — from fear-driven to purpose-aligned. The big shift? Understanding that your nervous system must feel safe in order for wealth to grow and stay. About Nate Ewert: Nate Ewert is a trauma-informed somatic healer and founder of Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies. With certifications in conscious breathwork, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional release, Nate creates sacred spaces for men to unlearn cultural conditioning and step into embodied leadership and authentic purpose. Key Discussion Points: Nate’s “dark night of the soul” and how it sparked his healing journey. The difference between somatic healing and traditional talk therapy. Why regulating your nervous system is the foundation for a fulfilling life. How societal expectations around masculinity harm men’s mental health. Tools to begin healing: breathwork, embodiment, emotional release. Nate’s approach to building authentic community and sacred space for men. How trauma patterns influence how we earn, spend, and feel about money. Redefining success: from hustle to harmony. Conclusion: This episode is a call to stop doing and start feeling. Nate Ewert offers a rare, vulnerable, and deeply practical guide to healing, purpose, and aligned living. If you're a man feeling disconnected or driven by invisible forces… or if you’re simply seeking more from life than performance and checklists, this is your wake-up call.

Increasing Your Healthspan On this powerful episode of Richer Soul, we welcome Ashley Garcia—a small-town girl from rural Illinois who defied limitations and built a life of health, purpose, and high performance. A celebrated IFBB Figure Pro, health coach, and business owner, Ashley joins Rocky for a raw and empowering conversation on rewriting personal narratives, cultivating resilience, and designing a life rooted in vitality and purpose.

If you’re feeling stuck, held back by old beliefs, or unsure how to align your ambition with well-being, Ashley's story will light a fire inside you. Key Takeaways: Rewrite Your Origin Story. Ashley’s small-town upbringing came with limiting beliefs. But rather than staying in the “safe zone,” she forged her own path. If you’ve ever been told "that dream is too hard"—this episode will show you how to prove them wrong. Wellness is Not One-Dimensional. Mindset. Movement. Nutrition. Recovery. Ashley emphasizes that real transformation doesn’t come from surface-level changes—it requires a whole-body approach. Your Energy is Your Currency. Ashley explains how preserving and optimizing energy—not just managing time—is the real key to peak performance. Especially for high achievers, burnout is not a badge of honor. Strength Lies in Surrender. One of the most surprising insights? Letting go of perfectionism. Ashley reveals how grace, rest, and spiritual alignment are just as crucial as grit. Money Lesson: Ashley’s financial education didn’t start in school—or even at home. Her biggest money memory? Her grandpa winning the lottery in 1984 and actually investing it wisely. That one moment planted a seed of curiosity and financial awareness. Today, she approaches wealth as a tool for impact, freedom, and well-being—not status. Guest Bio: Ashley Garcia is a Health and Wellness Coach, IFBB Figure Pro, and elite athlete who helps entrepreneurs, executives, and high performers unlock their full potential through holistic wellness. Her coaching combines science-backed strategies and deeply personalized plans around mindset, movement, nutrition, and recovery. Key Discussion Points: How childhood experiences shape our self-worth. The mindset shift from being “just” a small-town girl to becoming a global wellness leader. Strategies for managing energy, not just time. Why many high achievers struggle with balance—and how to fix it. Letting go of guilt and perfectionism in pursuit of fulfillment. Breaking generational beliefs around money and success. The role of faith and intuition in transformation. Conclusion: Let Go to Rise Higher Ashley’s story is a reminder that our past does not define our future—our choices do. By prioritizing wellness and shedding limiting beliefs, you can reclaim your energy, purpose, and joy.

Ep 437 Living Longer and Healthier with Dr. Grazyna Pajunen
Living Longer and Healthier What if aging wasn’t inevitable? What if your energy, skin, and vitality didn’t have to fade with time? In this mind-expanding episode of Richer Soul, Rocky dives deep into the science and soul of reversing aging with the revolutionary biohacking coach, Dr. Grazyna Pajunen. With her background in electrical engineering and a powerful immigrant story, Dr. Pajunen combines academic rigor with practical tools to help everyday people stop settling for a life of aches, wrinkles, and fatigue. From AI-enhanced wellness to practical tips for restoring youth, Dr. Pajunen shares how anyone—regardless of age or genetics—can reclaim control of their body and mind. Key Takeaways: The Secret to Reversing Aging Isn’t in the Mirror—It’s in Your Cells. Dr. Pajunen explains how cellular repair, not just skincare, is the key to looking and feeling younger. You Don't Need to Be Rich or Famous to Biohack Your Life. Her methods are designed for regular people—moms, dads, workers—who are tired of the decline and ready for transformation. Education Doesn’t End at School—It Begins When You Question the System. After seeing her real estate value skyrocket, Grazyna realized academia couldn’t teach her how to build wealth or freedom. She learned from those doing it. The American Dream is Built on Learning, Risk, and Reinvention. From escaping communism in Poland to starting over in Finland and then thriving in the U.S., Dr. Pajunen’s journey is a masterclass in reinvention. Money Learnings: Dr. Pajunen had a lightbulb moment when her Florida condo doubled in value—something her academic salary could never match. That spurred a pivot into real estate investing, not through theory, but by learning from successful practitioners. She quickly grasped the value of practical over theoretical knowledge, especially in business and finance. She now teaches others that wealth doesn’t come from degrees—it comes from applied knowledge and action. Who Is Dr. Grazyna Pajunen? Dr. Grazyna Pajunen is a renowned biohacking coach and the author of BIOHACKING A Way to a BETTER YOU: Look and Feel Better Than You Did 10 Years Ago. With deep expertise in supplements, wearable tech, and anti-aging techniques, she’s known for helping ordinary people feel extraordinary—by reversing aging naturally. She's not just about theory; she’s walked the walk, transitioning from a successful engineering career to become a wellness pioneer. Key Discussion Points: Growing up in communist Poland and the early lessons of scarcity, discipline, and drive. Why she left academia behind to pursue entrepreneurship and investing. Her views on health sovereignty—why you need to take responsibility for your own wellness journey. How wearable technology and AI can optimize your body and mind for peak performance. Why biohacking isn’t just about extending life—it’s about enjoying it. Conclusion: The Future of Youth is Here—and It’s DIY Dr. Pajunen reminds us that aging is not a life sentence. With the right tools, mindset, and guidance, you can look and feel better at 60 than you did at 40. Her story of transformation—academic, financial, and physical—is proof that with intention and innovation, you can rewrite your health and your wealth narrative.
