June 18Astrology, Divorce, Dark Nights of the Soul & Finding Your True Purpose with Amanda 'Pua' Walsh
What if the hardest season of your life wasn't a detour from your path—but the path itself?
In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend Amanda Pua Walsh, founder of Astrology Hub, host of one of the world's most popular astrology podcasts, and author of the new bestselling memoir Life by the Stars.
Amanda and I first met more than a decade ago, and I had the unique experience of witnessing parts of the journey she writes about in this book. What I didn't realize until reading it was just how much was happening beneath the surface.
We talk about:
✨ Why it took Amanda nearly ten years to finally write her book
✨ The surprising way the entire memoir emerged through memory, intuition, and storytelling
✨ Navigating divorce, financial collapse, identity loss, and spiritual transformation
✨ How astrology helped her understand what was unfolding during her darkest seasons
✨ The difference between following expectations and following your soul
✨ Visibility, vulnerability, and sharing your story when you're already well known
✨ Astrology, money blocks, and why some people should never be in charge of budgeting
✨ How to recognize when life is asking you to focus somewhere other than business
✨ The concept of the "Sacred Yes" and what happens when you fully commit to your path
✨ Why Amanda believes life's greatest challenges can become our greatest initiations
Whether you're deeply into astrology or simply navigating a season of uncertainty, reinvention, or personal growth, this conversation is a powerful reminder that there may be more meaning in your story than you can currently see.

June 04From Scarcity to Abundance: Regenerating Land, Money & the Way We Live (with Eddy Garcia)
This one's a little different. This episode is an interview that Eddy and I did with Erin West of Humans Who Trade — and it turned into one of my favorite conversations we've ever had on record.
We start with the land. Eddy grew up on Molokai, has been farming since he was a kid, and has spent decades regenerating depleted, chemically-destroyed soil back into thriving ecosystems — in some cases in a fraction of the time nature would do it alone. He talks about what it actually looks like to walk onto a dead piece of land and bring it back: observation, earthworks, pioneer plants, mycelium networks, the whole thing.
And then Erin does what she does best — she draws it all out as a metaphor for our collective relationship with money, enoughness, and scarcity.
We get into monocropping as a metaphor for how most people run their finances (and their businesses). The difference between meaningful work and a meaningless job. Why gifting economies feel so uncomfortable to modern people — and what that discomfort is actually pointing to. The James Dean effect and how we lost 90% of our farmers in two generations. What stewardship actually means. And what it feels like to live in an environment where nature is doing the majority of the work, once you've done the setup.
This conversation is earthy and philosophical and practical all at once. It'll make you want to go touch some dirt.

May 21 The 3 Creative States Every Entrepreneur Needs
In this episode of Regenerative Business, Sam Garcia explores why so many smart, creative entrepreneurs feel creatively blocked — even while constantly learning, consuming, and trying to grow.
After years of teaching the concept of the “prosumer” — balancing consumption and production — Sam realized there was an even deeper missing piece in the creative process:
integration.
Because creativity isn’t just:
consume → produce
There’s also the pause between breaths.
The spaciousness where ideas connect.
The silence where your best work often emerges.
Inside this episode, Sam shares:
• Why endless learning can actually create stagnation
• The “prosumer” framework from Regenerative Business
• Why modern life destroys creative integration time
• Einstein’s surprising creative process
• The 3 creative states: consumption, production, and integration
• How overstimulation impacts thought leadership and content creation
• Why walking, silence, nature, hobbies, and boredom unlock creativity
• The connection between integration and your best ideas
• How to create more spaciousness for creativity and business growth
This episode is especially powerful for:
– creative entrepreneurs
– online course creators
– coaches and healers
– writers and thought leaders
– ADHD entrepreneurs
– sensitive business owners
– people feeling overstimulated or creatively blocked
If your content has felt flat, your creativity has felt strained, or your nervous system feels overloaded from constant consumption… this conversation will completely change how you think about creativity and business.

April 30How to land 3 clients by Friday (without posting more)
What if you needed 3 clients by Friday… and you weren’t allowed to create a single new piece of content?
Most people default to posting more, tweaking their branding, or “working on visibility.”
But that’s not how you get clients this week.
In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple, direct plan to get clients fast—based on 15+ years in online business, hundreds of launches, and real client acquisition strategies that actually work under pressure.
Inside this episode:
The difference between long-term vs. immediate client acquisition

Why content won’t get you clients this week (and what will)

How to create an offer people say yes to right now

Exactly who to reach out to (even if you have a small audience)

What to say in your messages (without feeling awkward or salesy)

How to follow up in a way that actually converts

Why most people avoid this—and stay stuck
This is about activating the people already in your world—not waiting months for a funnel or content strategy to work.
Because most of the time, the clients you need?
They already know you.
They’re just waiting for a clear, direct invitation.
If you’ve been:
posting consistently but not getting clients

overthinking your content strategy

avoiding outreach because it feels uncomfortable
This episode will give you a clear path forward.

April 163 Reasons Your Funnel Isn’t Converting
You built the funnel.
You launched your online course.
And now… nothing.
If your evergreen funnel isn’t making money, it’s probably not because of your offer, your tech, or even your copy.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 real reasons online course funnels don’t convert — and what actually separates funnels that generate predictable revenue from the ones that just sit there looking good on paper.
After working behind the scenes of 100+ online course launches (from $5K to $2M+), I’ve seen exactly where funnels break — and how to fix them without burning everything down and starting over.
Inside this episode:
Why your online course funnel isn’t getting sales

The “hidden glade” problem (and why no one is seeing your funnel)

The biggest myth about passive income and evergreen funnels

Why “set it and forget it” doesn’t work (and what to do instead)

The truth about demand: why funnels don’t create it

How to diagnose your funnel using simple conversion data

The difference between a traffic problem vs. a conversion problem

How to turn your online course into predictable monthly revenue
If you’ve ever:
Built a funnel that didn’t convert

Launched an online course that flopped

Felt like you were “missing something” with evergreen sales
This episode will show you exactly where to look — and what to fix first.
Because funnels don’t fail randomly.
They fail in predictable ways.
And once you understand the leverage points, you can turn a “dead” funnel into a revenue-generating system.
✨ If you’re ready to build a business that creates predictable, repeatable income (without constant launching), this is where it starts.

The difference between passive feedback vs. high-converting proof

Simple systems to gather testimonials consistently (even when you’re not launching)

April 02You Don’t Need to Wait to “Give Back” (do this instead)
Learn more about the Regenerative Business Ecosystem here!
Most people think impact comes after success.
Make money first.
Then give back later.
Then do something meaningful.
But what if your business was designed differently from the beginning?
In this episode, Sam Garcia shares how her online business has funded hundreds of thousands of dollars in reforestation and land restoration — not by waiting until she was “successful enough,” but by designing profit and impact as the same system.
She breaks down the two core ways this has evolved:
Using business profits to directly fund change (from land restoration to climate mitigation)

Weaving values into the business itself — messaging, offers, structure, and direction
You’ll hear:
Why “I’ll give back later” often never happens

The difference between donating from profit vs. revenue (and how to start small)

How giving actually changes your relationship with money

The identity shift required to build a values-led business

Why your business can feel successful… and still feel misaligned

How to start integrating impact now — even if you’re early-stage
This episode is for you if:
You care deeply about the world and want your work to reflect that

You’ve felt tension between making money and making a difference

You want your business to feel more meaningful, grounded, and alive

You’re ready to stop separating impact from income
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about designing differently.
