    EP731: Alan McLaren - Why Relationships Matter
    Nov 21 2025

    "When they see your face, look into your eyes, you're real and you're human and you're authentic, that's when trust happens."

    Strong relationships form the backbone of every successful business. Growth becomes easier when you intentionally invest in the connections that matter, release the ones that drain your energy, and stay open to forming new relationships that bring purpose and momentum. Trust, consistency, and genuine human connection—not tactics—create the stability and opportunity that leaders rely on.

    Alan McLaren, a veteran executive and relationship strategist, shares powerful insights on why intentional connection shapes long-term success. He explains how clarity, visibility, and authenticity help leaders expand their influence, strengthen their network, and build trust quickly and naturally. His approach to service-driven leadership reveals how meaningful conversations can spark new partnerships, deepen existing ones, and create opportunities that last. Everything culminates in the upcoming December 3 event, where Alan will help leaders use strategic connection to accelerate trust, authority, and growth.

    EP730: Kurt Luidhardt - How To Grow A Business By Staying True To Your Values
    Nov 18 2025
    "82% of all Americans are now saying they expect the brands they buy from to share their values." Staying true to your values isn't just the right thing to do, it's one of the smartest ways to grow a business. Today's episode breaks down why conviction creates clarity, why clarity creates trust, and why trust is the new currency in a marketplace flooded with noise, doubt, and deception. Kurt Luidhardt shares how his work with political campaigns led him to uncover something much bigger: millions of consumers actively looking to spend their money with brands that reflect their beliefs. Kurt explains why this shift matters for entrepreneurs, how conviction-driven marketing works, and why businesses that communicate their principles authentically attract more loyal, resilient customers. He also unpacks the modern crisis of trust and shows how shared values help people make faster, more confident buying decisions. Kurt is the co-founder of a nationally recognized digital strategy firm and the creator of the Liberty Spenders framework. With decades of experience helping high-profile leaders and brands grow through principled messaging, Kurt now empowers business owners to align their marketing with their deepest convictions—and win because of it. Expert action steps: Remove the idols that distort your judgment—anything you place above God or your highest principles. Build a business around solving a real, concrete problem that people urgently want fixed. Protect your family and never let business consume the relationships that matter most.

    EP727: LuAnn Buechler - How To Find & Live Your Passion
    Nov 7 2025
    "Follow your passion. Master your mindset. Monetize doing what you love." Living your passion begins with self-awareness and courage—the willingness to question whether the life you're living is truly yours or one built on others' expectations. Passion isn't something you stumble upon; it's something you uncover by aligning your work, purpose, and daily choices with what fuels your heart. True joy emerges when you stop living in "shoulds" and start listening to your inner compass—transforming fear and limitation into clarity and flow. LuAnn Buechler reveals how saying "yes" to opportunity became the defining habit that changed her life. From a 15-year career in hospitality to working with Dr. Ivan Misner and the Transformational Leadership Council, LuAnn's story is proof that life rewards aligned action. Her philosophy, "Work in your flame, not in your wax," encourages people to create lives centered on purpose. Through tools like The Passion Test and mindfulness practices, she helps clients shift from survival to joy. LuAnn is a certified Passion Test facilitator, business coach, and long-time member of Jack Canfield's Transformational Leadership Council. She is also president of The Coach Initiative, a nonprofit connecting volunteer coaches with organizations in need. Her mission: to help individuals and businesses uncover their core values, lead with purpose, and live passionately. Expert action steps: 1. Follow your passion. 2. Master your mindset. 3. Monetize doing what you love.

    EP726: Michael Seemann - Why Mental Health Matters
    Nov 4 2025

    "If you optimize your hormones, you lose depression, you lose anxiety, you feel good again, you're energized, you're good to go."

    A mission born from struggle. Former cop and veteran Michael Seemann faced burnout, depression, and a body that was shutting down—until he discovered the power of hormone optimization. That breakthrough became Evolving Vitality, a clinic dedicated to restoring men's health through hormone balance, mental wellness, and affordable access to life-changing care.

    Michael shares how turning pain into purpose shaped his business mindset: build for service, not greed. Keep prices fair, lead with integrity, and let faith drive the mission. Success, he says, is simple—trust God, work hard, and do the right thing.

    Now, with clinics in five states and plans to expand across North America, Michael's proving that purpose-driven entrepreneurship can save lives—and restore the spirit of those who serve.

    Expert action steps:

    1. Trust God – Have faith that He will lead you to the right purpose.

    2. Believe in Yourself – Even if you doubt your ability, start.

    3. Work Hard and Be Honest – Give your best effort with integrity; success will follow.

    EP725: TL Nuggets #217 - How Much Responsibility Do You Bear For Your Success When You're Being Coached?!
    Oct 31 2025

    "I'm responsible for 100% of my own healing."

    Success doesn't come from your coach—it comes from you. This nugget hits hard with one truth: no one can do the work for you. You can hire the best mentor in the world, but if you're not fully invested, nothing changes. The moment you take full ownership, everything shifts.

    Your coach can guide, challenge, and inspire—but they can't move your feet. If you resist their direction or half-commit, you're setting your money on fire. But if you show up 100%—coach­able, committed, and accountable—you'll unlock results that no coach could ever hand you.

  • EP724: Marcia Martin: Sex, Power, & Transformation - Behind The Rise Of The Self-Help Empire

    EP724: Marcia Martin: Sex, Power, & Transformation - Behind The Rise Of The Self-Help Empire
    Oct 28 2025
    "It's a story about patterns, the ones that shape us, trap us, and sometimes, if we're lucky, set us free." Power and transformation begin where truth meets courage. This conversation reveals how the human potential movement emerged from the radical optimism of the 1970s and reshaped into today's $48-billion self-help industry. At its core is the tension between enlightenment and ego — how the same tools that awaken millions can also entrap them if they surrender their inner wisdom to authority. The principles at play are timeless: responsibility, authenticity, and the danger of confusing charisma with truth. From her front-row seat at the birth of EST, Marcia Martin exposes both the miracles and the madness behind the movement that promised human liberation. She shares what it was like to be a powerful woman in a man's world — creating mass transformation while learning hard lessons about influence, control, and integrity. Her reflections carry a rare honesty and hard-earned compassion that illuminate the shadow side of success. Marcia is a legendary thought leader, executive coach, and founding architect of the modern self-help industry. She helped launch Werner Erhard's EST (Erhard Seminar Training), ran Tony Robbins' organization in its early years, co-created the Transformational Leadership Council with Jack Canfield, and has guided hundreds of thousands through transformational leadership worldwide. Expert action steps: Center before you act — Be fully present. When you engage with others, bring yourself into the moment rather than being distracted by thoughts about the past or future. Listen generously — Listen before you speak. Assume the person you're hearing is brilliant and that what they're saying is valuable. This creates connection and dissolves tension in the space. Speak from authenticity — Communicate from your heart and direct experience, not from beliefs or rehearsed thoughts. Speak truthfully and vulnerably.
