How to Succeed When Everyone Expects You to Fail     Take away: Challenges early on, while difficult, can be the fire that forges your inner strength. If you believe in yourself and your abilities, you can exceed other's low expectations. Never let your humble beginnings limit your ambition. Turn adversity into advantage.   Money Learnings: Jonathan's childhood was challenging financially and he felt deprived compared to his wealthy peers.

Creating a Wealthy Life     Take away: Money is a tool that should enable you to live a fulfilling life, not be the sole focus. Having clarity on your ideal lifestyle, relationships, and experiences is crucial. Then determine the amount of money needed to support that vision. Don't get caught in the trap of chasing more money for money's sake. Instead, focus first on personal growth, self-worth, purpose, and making a positive difference. With financial education and mindset shifts, money can be managed effectively to serve your life goals rather than become an all-consuming end in itself. The key is balancing priorities - money matters but should not override health, family, purpose, and inner peace. Use money wisely to live well.   Money Learnings: Krisstina grew up in poverty, living in a trailer home and relying on food stamps and government assistance. Her parents were uneducated and fought constantly about money, often violently. As a child, Krisstina associated money with these traumatic fights and grew to fear it. She felt money was an unsafe topic that would lead to chaos and conflict if brought up. With no financial education or role models, Krisstina was scared of and avoided money matters for much of her early life. This led her to be financially illiterate and anxiously avoidant when it came to money and finance.   Bio: Krisstina Wise has made it her life's work to master money. She's a self-made millionaire with training and study under some of the business world's most sage and seasoned mentors. Her systems for wealth creation work - in both good and challenging times.

Unlock Your Impossible Life     Take away: You have the power to renegotiate your existence and make the impossible reality by shifting your mindset and energy frequency.   Money Learnings: Chris grew up in a privileged neighborhood financially but had a difficult childhood due to family trauma and issues with his father. He emphasizes the need to change our relationship with money and offers practical tools for repairing and improving that relationship.   Bio: Chris M. King built a life on the pillars of his childhood: grief, rage, abuse, and addiction. Despite taking nine years to earn his associate’s degree and leaving his undergrad unfinished, he remarkably transformed into an NCAA hockey player within a year of learning to skate. With two failed marriages, one plagued by mental illness, he later forsook a lucrative career to become a poverty-stricken radio personality in Los Angeles.   Transitioning to marketing a hospital’s neuroscience institute without clinical expertise, Chris then shifted to a tech role, which ended in dismissal. Jobless, he spurned a secure future, opting for penniless homelessness as he ambitiously built a company from his car’s trunk—today, that very company prospers.   Unconventional as it may be, Chris’s journey defies norms. His secret? A resolute choice. Termed an “witch doctor,” “human tuning fork,” or “irritated Buddha,” Chris M. King, author of “Renegotiate Your Existence: Unlock Your Impossible Life,” facilitates transformative expeditions. He draws from spiritual psychology and learns from diverse luminaries like the Flow Research Collective, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and retired US Navy SEALs and US Army Special Forces.   Chris takes individuals and organizations beyond their perceived limits, enabling the realization of the seemingly impossible.   Highlights from this episode:

• Childhood experiences shape our beliefs and programming as adults. Taking responsibility for your life is the first step in changing your reality.
• Your outer experiences reflect your inner state. Pay attention to patterns and what's being mirrored back to you.
• Mindset matters. Shift from scarcity/lack to abundance thinking. Match your frequency to what you desire to attract it.
• Live in possibility not limitations. Believe you can achieve the impossible then take action. There are no limits except those you impose.
• Get clear on your life's purpose. Your gifts and talents are perfectly designed to fulfill it. Mislabeling them causes suffering.
• Ready, fire, aim! Speed creates momentum. Take imperfect action, pivot, and refine. Waiting for perfect conditions gets you stuck.

The Willingness to Be Wrong   Take away: Discover the power of a positive mindset, the importance of having a clear purpose, and the benefits of creating a comprehensive life plan, all while emphasizing the interconnectedness of health, wealth, time, relationships, and spirituality in living a harmonious life.   Money Learnings: Graham Lutz learned early in life that money is a tool, not a measure of self-worth.

How to Overcome Yourself     Take away: The concept of making growth decisions versus comfortable decisions is crucial in personal and professional development. Being willing to embrace discomfort and make choices that lead to growth, even in small increments, can lead to substantial progress over time.   Money Learnings: Benjamin Owen learned from his family that money was often associated with negativity, such as greed and hard work. There was a perception that one had to work hard to earn money and that wealth was equated with conflict and stress in the household. Despite the financial challenges, his family prioritized love and resourcefulness, creating a deep understanding of the value of love and family. As he grew older and entered the workforce, he recognized the need to redefine his relationship with money and shift from a mindset of hard work to understanding the principles of wealth and money creation.

Ben has loved working with professional athletes, barristers, CEO’s, and people who are hungry for change in their life and work.   Highlights from this episode:

• Living an abundant life comes from giving and being of service to others.
• Balancing work and love is essential, as success in one area should not come at the expense of the other.
• Reasonable goals and sustainable habits are key to long-term success and personal growth. Success often comes with a glamorous facade, but the reality behind it may involve significant costs and challenges.
• Pain, uncertainty, and constant work are constants in life that should be embraced rather than avoided.
• Achievable short-term goals can provide motivation and build momentum towards long-term success.
• Self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors can hinder progress and should be recognized and addressed.

How to Evolve as a Business Owner

  Take away: The journey of evolving as a founder requires embracing each stage's struggles to develop new skills, rather than rushing ahead; the joy is found in the present moment.   Money Learnings: Money was a source of stress and problems in Scott's family growing up. His dad worked a blue-collar job and his mom worked on and off to make ends meet. He didn't understand finances as a kid, just that money seemed to cause issues. It felt like a "necessary evil" in the background. After accidentally dropping out of high school early, he went to ministry school without money or a job. He had to sell cherished possessions like his guitar just to get by. He learned lessons through mistakes, like quickly burning through $4,000 and bouncing a check. This taught him to track his accounts and not spend recklessly.   Bio: Scott helped start nearly 20,000 new businesses and nonprofits and with his business partner started led their multimillion-dollar business through an exceptional and extended growth phase (over 10 years of double-digit growth) all before he turned 35. Today he helps founders and CEOs identify and implement the one essential strategy they need right now to get them on the fast track to Predictable Success.   Highlights from this episode:

• Success often comes from embracing the struggle, not avoiding it. The lessons are in the valleys, not at the mountaintops.
• What got you here won't get you there. As you evolve, you have to let go of old skills and mindsets and develop new ones.
• Leading people requires different skills than producing as an individual. Make the leap to management.
• There are stages to the founder's journey. Skipping steps usually backfires. Honor the process.
• Disillusionment is normal when building something big. Stay persistent through the messy middle.
• True freedom as an owner comes from doing the work to build a self-sustaining organization.
• Joy is found in the present moment, not at some future destination. Appreciate where you are.
