Million Dollar Grit

Let’s talk about the tension no one wants to sit in: what do you actually do when the future of AI sounds both thrilling and terrifying?

I watched a recent Diary of a CEO interview and left feeling totally disoriented. On one hand, AI is opening up wild new possibilities. On the other, it’s coming fast for every white collar job—and the level of psychosis it’s already creating is real.

In this episode, I unpack how I’m holding both truths at once. You’ll hear seven practical ways to love AI (aka monetize and leverage it) and five powerful reasons to hate it (aka protect your brain, your business, and your kids). We’re talking faceless YouTube channels, coaching protocols, old-school skills becoming premium, and why ChatGPT might be the most psychologically dangerous bot out there.

This one’s not neat or tidy, but it’s the kind of clarity we all need right now.

Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to admit: 2026 is going to expose every crack in the online business world. AI is wiping out busywork, collapsing the middle, and forcing all of us to get brutally good at discernment. In a world where you can build anything, the winners will be the ones who know what to say no to.

In this episode, I break down the “barbell economy” we’re walking into — premium human-only offers on one end, affordable AI-assisted products on the other — and why your ability to show up as an actual human (voice, face, opinions, connection) is suddenly your most valuable asset. I also get into the six non-negotiables every online business needs next year: a real free offer, a strong live sales engine, a search channel, a social home base, daily sales activity, and one low-cost intro offer that fits the new pricing reality.

If you feel like the landscape is shifting under your feet, this one will bring you back to center.

DM me if this hit a nerve — or if it helped you figure out what your 2026 plan should actually look like.

Let’s talk about where your business actually is — not where you wish it was.

In this episode, I break down the four spots you might be in at the end of 2025 — collapsing, pivoting, staying the course, or scaling — and how each one demands a totally different plan for 2026.

Whether you’re in panic mode or growth mode, this one will give you instant clarity (and maybe a little peace of mind).

DM me the word MRI on Instagram if you want the scorecard I mentioned.

Let’s flip the script.

In this episode, my publisher (and friend) Sherry Ward takes the mic and interviews me about the behind-the-scenes process of writing Million Dollar Grit.

We talk about why this book was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, what it took to merge memoir with business strategy, and why I refused to move on to another project until I closed this loop. You’ll hear how my first (regretted) memoir shaped this one, what finally broke my writing resistance, and the healing that came through finishing it.

We also talk about editors, AI, imposter fears, and what I really want readers to feel when they close the last page. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book—or wondered what it takes to turn your life into lessons that actually help people—this one’s for you.

Two weeks out from my book launch, I wanted to give you a peek into Million Dollar Grit—specifically Chapter 3: “Follow the Problem.” Because right now? The economy feels shaky. People are wondering if the coaching industry is drying up, if AI is taking over, or if buyers are just… gone.

But the truth is, buyers haven’t disappeared. They’ve just shifted. And the business owners who survive are the ones who stay obsessed with their customer’s problem—not their own.

In this episode, I break down what it looks like to follow the problem in real time: how to get out of panic mode, spot what your audience actually cares about, and create offers that move money today.

If your sales have stalled or your confidence is wobbling, this one will hit home.

Let’s talk about the difference between information and transformation—because yesterday I got a front row seat to why this matters more than ever.

On paper, my client had everything she needed: scripts, step-by-steps, video lessons, even Voxer access to me. But she still wasn’t moving forward. Why? Because information lives outside of you. Transformation lives inside of you. And what she needed wasn’t more modules—it was support, reassurance, real-time feedback, and the human layer that AI can’t replace.

If you’ve been wondering why your course or coaching feels “not enough” on its own, this is it. The future of online learning is less about piling on PDFs and more about creating space for actual transformation. DM me if this one hit a nerve, or share it with a friend who’s rethinking their offers.

Ever feel like logging off social completely? Yeah, me too. Between judgment, comparison, AI bots, and straight-up fatigue—it’s no wonder so many of us want to hide. But as business owners, disappearing from the feed isn’t really an option.

In this episode, I break down six ways to show up without burning out: from reframing your posts as breadcrumbs of connection (not performance), to lowering the stakes and rewarding your process instead of chasing outcomes. I also share how I personally keep it simple and why documenting beats overproducing every time.

If you’ve been stuck in your head about posting, this might be the reset you need.

September came in swinging. Between the violence flooding our feeds and the endless swirl of information wars, it can feel impossible to stay grounded as a business owner. I’ll be honest—I’ve been rattled, and maybe you have too.

But here’s the truth I keep coming back to: in times like these, the only way forward in business is to anchor yourself to your values and show up live, as a real human. In this episode, I share why I believe weekly webinars are the most trustworthy, resilient strategy right now, and I break down exactly how to diagnose what’s not working in your funnel—top, middle, or bottom.

If you’ve been struggling to sell in this climate, this episode might give you both a reality check and a path forward.

Let’s talk about summer experiments.

This summer I tested a bunch of things—some techy, some business, some personal—and I thought I’d share the results in case you want to try them yourself. From creating my own coaching clone (yep, an AI trained on a million of my words) to running 12 straight weekly webinars, hiring an $8k editor for my book, and even flipping my morning routine upside down to give the first half hour of my day to God—I learned a lot.

I’m breaking down what worked, what surprised me, and what I’ll keep doing this fall (plus a few tools I think you should definitely check out). If you’re curious about AI, live webinars, or just how to shake up your own routines, this one’s packed with takeaways.

Let’s talk about the things summer taught me that I didn’t see coming. From business mistakes (bad webinars, anyone?) to spiritual wake-ups. Some are personal, some are business. If you’ve ever wondered what clarity actually feels like or why your nervous system might be the real bottleneck in your business… this one’s for you.

Give it a listen, then tell me which one hit home.
