Some experiences don’t change your direction — they confirm it. 

In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry reflects on his second year attending Podfest 2026 in Orlando. This is not a recap of sessions or speakers. It’s a reflection on what becomes visible when growth matures, urgency fades, and clarity begins to lead. 

Through quiet moments, meaningful reconnections, and honest self-observation, Melvin explores how growth often becomes less about adding and more about refining. You’ll hear why clarity matters more than volume, alignment matters more than activity, and why quiet seasons don’t mean you’re stuck — they often mean you’re integrating. 

This episode includes two embedded video reflections recorded during Podfest, along with a short in-the-moment conversation with Alicia Couri, offering continuity from a relationship first formed at Podfest the year before. 

If you’ve felt things getting quieter in your life, business, or creative journey — this conversation may help you understand why that’s not a setback, but a signal.
