  • 2025 #030 - Lisa Vanderpump’s Hotel, Snowstorms & St. Patty’s Hangovers

    In this episode of the Pat & JT Podcast, they chat about Lisa Vanderpump’s latest Vegas venture—the Vanderpump Hotel. JT shares the wild history of the Cromwell, formerly Barbary Coast, with its Omaha connections. They reminisce about old-school Vegas, when $30 hotel rooms and $6 buffets were a thing, and compare it to today’s sky-high prices.

    Pat recaps his Jackson Hole trip for Melissa Rivers' wedding, where even the “non-premium” mountain views were stunning.

    Then, it’s onto Nebraska’s chaotic weather, with a blizzard hitting just days before spring. JT recalls an April snowstorm on one of her moving days. And with St. Patrick’s Day just behind us, they joke about how between the holiday and the snow, plenty of people are in for a short workweek.

    Have you noticed any physical signs of stress in your body?

They also examine why so many people ignore their own stress cues and how simple daily habits can rewire the brain for greater well-being.

    Wendy opens up about her personal experience with grief, explaining that the flip side of anxiety and grief is deep love. She shares why embracing these emotions, rather than avoiding them, is key to healing. Jay also reflects on his own journey of overcoming anxiety and the mindset shifts that foster growth and resilience.

    How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety Through Breathwork

    How to Use Movement to Improve Brain Health

    How to Identify Your Personal Stress Cues

    How to Build Resilience After Trauma

    How to Create a Morning Routine for Mental Clarity

    How to Foster Meaningful Social Connections for Brain Health

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

    Introducing ⁠Lewis Howes: The Scarcity Belief That’s Blocking You from Making Money & How to Feel Rich Even When You’re Broke from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Have you ever avoided looking at your finances?

    If money were a person, how would you describe your relationship with it?

    Today, Jay welcomes back his long time friend, Lewis Howes, a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and former professional athlete. He is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top-ranked business and self-development shows in the world, where he interviews some of the most influential leaders in business, wellness, and personal growth.

    The conversation highlights key principles for transforming one's financial mindset, including the power of awareness, gratitude, and generosity. Jay and Lewis examine how early experiences with money influence current financial behaviors and emphasize the importance of developing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By recognizing and reshaping these beliefs, financial opportunities can be approached with clarity and confidence.

    Lewis emphasizes on the distinction between making money easy and chasing easy money. While many seek quick financial success, they explore the pitfalls of short-term thinking and the long-term benefits of building sustainable wealth through skill development, strategic planning, and emotional resilience. The concept of mapping out financial goals is introduced as a way to create structure and direction in money management.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Identify and Change Your Money Beliefs

    How to Develop Awareness Around Your Financial Habits

    How to Shift from a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset

    How to Invest in Yourself to Build Long-Term Financial Success

    How to Create a Clear Financial Plan for Stability and Growth

    How to Use Energy, Passion, and Curiosity as Valuable Currency

    Financial freedom isn’t just about earning more—it’s about breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing abundance, and making intentional choices that align with long-term success. 

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

    Introducing The Mutant (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

    Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

    On a day in 2001, a veteran homicide detective put on his gloves and stepped into a cluttered bedroom. He’d been working a murder case for months, but he still had no clear evidence pointing to any of his suspects. But a tip from an informant had led him to this bedroom, and he hoped he would find something useful. The detective searched the room, but nothing stood out to him amidst the mess – until he saw a piece of notebook paper sitting on a nightstand. On the paper was someone’s list of goals they wanted to accomplish in life. The detective scanned the list. Most of the goals on the list were pretty standard stuff, but one goal immediately jumped out at the detective. Because one of the things on the list the writer wanted to achieve was to “Kill somebody and get away with it.”
