There are people who become successful, and then there are the people who quietly shape the success of everyone else. Today's guest is someone many of the biggest names in marketing, sales, and speaking have learned from. For more than 30 years, Joel Bauer has coached entrepreneurs, executives, and world class speakers on how to command a stage, create genuine connection, and master the art of influence.

His clients have included companies like Motorola, Disney, IBM, Intel, Canon, Mitsubishi, and Shell. His students include some of the most recognized names in business, including Russell Brunson, Jordan Belfort, Joe Polish and many others.

Joel is known around the world for his legendary 20 Move Matrix, a communication framework that has helped countless speakers, sales professionals, and business owners become more persuasive, more authentic, and ultimately more successful.

But beyond the impressive resume, what fascinates me most is Joel's understanding of human behavior. Why do people buy? Why do they trust? What separates someone who simply presents information from someone who truly changes lives?

Today we're diving into the psychology of influence, building authentic relationships, speaking with confidence, and the timeless principles that help great communicators create lasting impact.
Joel, welcome to the show.

I sat down with Elise Kephart, a longtime automotive industry consultant and entrepreneur, for a conversation that started with how quickly time moves and ended up covering nearly two decades of business lessons. We talked about what actually makes a car buying experience stand out in an industry that still struggles with trust, and Elise shared a genuinely creative idea for how dealerships could serve families better while customers shopped.

From there we got into the real story behind her decision to leave a traditional sales job and build her own business, including the late night moment that pushed her to finally put in her notice. Elise opened up about hitting rock bottom a few years into entrepreneurship, the conversation that kept her from quitting, and how she learned to balance an unpredictable schedule with being present for her family.

We also talked about resilience, growing up without much, and how those early experiences shaped the woman and business owner she became today. It was an honest, emotional, and encouraging conversation, and I walked away from it more grateful for Elise's friendship than ever. Until next time, keep shattering limiting beliefs.

In this episode, I sat down with my longtime friend Brandon Garner, a musician, husband, and father whose faith journey completely transformed his life. Brandon opened up about hitting rock bottom in his career and marriage before finding his way back to God through a sales training program that pushed him to become the best version of himself. He shared how books like Outwitting the Devil helped him recognize when he was just going through the motions instead of truly living out his faith, and how getting rebaptized as an adult marked the real beginning of his walk with Jesus.

We talked about how he met his wife Danielle at church, their journey through infertility and loss before welcoming their son, and the grace and patience that have carried them through it all. Brandon also gave us a glimpse into his music career, from playing guitar in worship to working on placing his original music in TV shows and films.

This conversation was full of heart, honesty, and hard won wisdom about leadership, giving others grace, and keeping your eyes on what matters most even when life gets hard. Brandon reminded us that comparison steals joy and that true wealth is found in relationships, faith, and gratitude, not in a bank account.

Tune in for a conversation about faith, family, and finding purpose through every season of life.

What happens when you leave a stable career as a nurse practitioner to build something entirely your own, at 50? In this episode I sit down with Kathy Wieliczko, a nurse practitioner turned content creator and midlife health coach, to talk about reinvention, community, and what she calls a healthy dose of delulu.

Kathy went through menopause in 2017 and turned her own experience into a thriving business helping women look and feel their best through strength training, nutrition, and hormone health. She built an audience of over 126,000 followers organically on Instagram, all while working full time as a nurse practitioner, before finally leaving that career behind this past March.

We talk about the mindset it took to keep showing up when nobody was watching, why she blocked everyone she knew when she first started posting, and the moment a single video finally broke through. Kathy opens up about growing up independent, the role gratitude plays in real success, and why she believes women in their fifties are just getting started. If you have ever wondered whether it is too late to start something new, or whether your season of reinvention is actually real, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sat down with Eva Ruiz, owner of Homestyle Treasures, a vintage and antique reseller who turned her lifelong love of thrifting and decorating into a thriving business. Eva shared how she grew up going to flea markets with her parents, how she learned to see the potential in pieces most people would walk past, and why she believes every home should tell a story about the people who live there.

We talked about the vintage collector community, how to spot authentic antiques versus mass produced replicas, and why romanticizing your everyday life doesn't require a big budget. Eva also opened up about her thirty year marriage, raising a family with intention, and the courage it took to finally pursue something just for herself after years of putting everyone else first.

This conversation was a reminder that you don't need permission to chase what lights you up, and that the smallest, most affordable details can create the biggest feelings of home.

In this episode of Revenue from Retention, I sit down with Jaden and Wynter, a young married couple whose maturity and drive have shaped an inspiring life together. We dig into what it really means to grow up fast, from Wynter's early years surrounded by political events with her mother to Jaden's military family discipline and church upbringing. They open up about meeting at church as teenagers, taking the leap to move across the country at 18, and building a marriage and business side by side instead of waiting for life to feel "perfect."

Wynter shares her journey into wedding photography, the lessons she's learned handling tricky family dynamics on set, and her vision for scaling her business on her own terms. Jaden talks about his growth within the Elliott Group, the mentors who shaped him, and why he believes relationship capital matters more than any bank account. We also get into faith, identity, and how each of them personally knows God is real, plus some surprisingly deep talk sparked by a plastic surgeon's Instagram post about why perfection isn't always approachable.

This conversation is full of heart, honesty, and hard won wisdom from two people who are proof that you don't have to wait until you're "figured out" to start building something real.

I sat down with Michael Daleo, an aerospace engineer turned career coach, to talk about the winding path from UCF engineering school to building a coaching business for engineers. Michael opened up about living two lives in college, getting fired from his first internship at Lockheed only to be rehired within Northrop Grumman, and the mindset shift from striving to sonship that changed how he approached work and life. We covered his move to Arizona, the influence of his coaches and the LA Group, his vision for becoming a startup incubator for engineers, and the advice that scares people most usually points to what they need to cut from their life. A conversation full of heart, ambition, and faith.

Michael shared how growing up between Key West and Orlando, with a dad who worked in guest relations at Disney, shaped the way he thinks about hospitality and connection. He talked about his grandfather's influence on his work ethic, the value of coaches in every area of his life, and how he found his way to entrepreneurship through a string of trial and error, from a short stint in life insurance to discovering the LA Group through Ian Macklin's videos. That path eventually led him to launch his own career coaching business focused entirely on helping engineers land the jobs they actually want.

We also got into some fun tangents, from hidden speakers at Disney to escape rooms, AI tools, and what the next few decades of technology might look like. Michael's excitement for building something meaningful came through in every story he told, and his belief that business should come from service rather than the chase for money stood out as one of the most grounded parts of our conversation. This episode is for anyone figuring out their own next step, whether that is in engineering, entrepreneurship, or just life in general.

In this episode, I sit down with Randy White, a coach who has spent decades reinventing himself and now helps others do the same. Randy opens up about surviving narcissistic abuse, including a final and defining breakup in 2023 that led him to discover the language for everything he had experienced since childhood. He walks us through how understanding the nervous system, the difference between the ANS and CNS, and the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses can completely change the way we see our own conditioning.

We talk about boundaries, why people pleasing is really a trauma response rather than a personality trait, and how our conditioned identity often battles our aspirational identity, especially under pressure. Randy shares the Core 4 framework he lives by, body, mind, relationship, and purpose, and explains why pouring into yourself first isn't selfish but necessary if you want to show up for the people you lead and love.

Randy also gets personal about his faith, his journey through addiction and rebuilding a business from nothing, becoming a grandfather, and why he believes mentorship is one of the fastest ways to shortcut your own growth. We close out talking about the explosion of AI, what it means for identity and purpose in a changing world, and why community will matter more than ever moving forward.

If you have ever felt stuck in old patterns and wondered how to finally break free, this episode is for you.

This week, I opened up about the journey that took me from a lost twenty something with no direction to becoming a leader inside The Elliott Group. I shared the moment I first found Andy Elliott on YouTube and the decision I made to do whatever it took to change my life, even when that meant breaking a lease, leaving Spokane, and starting over in Arizona with nothing in my bank account.

I talked about identity, belief, and what it really means to pursue total recreation, not just in business but in every part of life. I got vulnerable about the years I spent chasing the wrong things, the relationships that weren't right for me, and the patience it took to finally find the partner who matched my ambition. I also shared how faith carried me through the waiting and how it shaped the family and future I'm building now.

We dug into leadership too. I talked about why the person who can develop others the fastest is the most valuable person in any organization, why client experience will always matter more than price or product, and why giving before taking is the foundation of real culture. If you're building a team, chasing a bigger version of yourself, or just need a reminder that transformation is possible, this episode is for you.

Keep shattering limiting beliefs.

In this episode of Revenue from Retention, I sat down with Cory and Lori Romero to talk about the foundation behind their marriage, their business, and their ministry. The couple opens up about meeting at Bank of America over a decade ago, the different paths that led them to faith, and the choice to build their household around a relationship with Jesus rather than simply going through the motions of church attendance.

Cory and Lori share their journey with Celebrate Recovery, where they now serve on the executive team, and talk candidly about the five year infertility journey and the miscarriages that tested their faith before their daughter arrived. They discuss the decision to homeschool, the reasoning behind stepping away from a dual income household, and what it means to build a marriage on communication instead of convenience.

Cory reflects on stepping away from parts of his old motorcycle community to make room for what he describes as a calling toward Celebrate Recovery, while Lori speaks to the quiet, unseen work of running a growing ministry behind the scenes. Throughout the episode, Cory and Lori return again and again to the idea of breaking generational cycles, releasing control, and letting go of whatever holds a person back from being fully present for their family and their community.
