In this powerhouse episode, host Mitch Carson interviews Terry L. Fossum—mechanical engineer turned speaker, survival-show winner, and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Terry reveals how his Ox Cart Technique flips goal-setting on its head using Nobel Prize–backed Prospect Theory—so “failure isn’t an option” becomes more compelling than staying in your comfort zone. He explains why 92% of goals fail, and how to engineer stakes that finally move you to action.

You’ll also hear the story behind Terry’s TEDx talk—debuting #2 in the world and cited among the most impactful talks of the century—and how he turned that spotlight into a speaking business. He shares a free AI that scores your TEDx idea, helps identify the right stages (not all are equal), and even drafts the outreach and post-talk promotion—so TEDx becomes a stepping stone, not the finish line.

Finally, Terry walks through converting a book into a paid keynote, estimating fees, and his “Idea to Income” path for getting booked—starting locally, building social proof, and leveraging great footage to elevate your speaker reel.

You’ll learn:

• The Ox Cart Technique: how to design “pain of failure” stakes that beat procrastination (rooted in Prospect Theory).

• Why most TEDx talks stall—and how to pick venues, shape your idea, and promote so it drives real business.

• A free AI workflow to score your talk idea, target organizers, and amplify after the stage.

• How to turn a book into a signature keynote (plus what speakers can realistically charge).

• The simple local-to-global strategy Terry used to get booked—without pay-to-play.

If you want a scientific, ethical, and scalable way to build authority—from idea to income—this episode is your blueprint.

In this moving episode of The Amazing Authorities Podcast, host Mitch Carson speaks with Jenn Johnson—ER nurse, author, and advocate for mental health in healthcare.

Jenn shares the story behind her powerful book, Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity, and Survive Your Career, written in the aftermath of the pandemic. She reveals how journaling her experiences as a nurse uncovered the hidden role of intuition in critical care—and how trusting (or ignoring) that inner voice can mean the difference between life, death, or burnout.

From stories of near-death experiences in the ER to navigating grief, trauma, and resilience, Jenn offers a raw, heartfelt perspective on what it truly means to serve on the frontlines. She also explains how intuition extends beyond medicine—into relationships, personal safety, and daily decision-making.

• How to balance gut instinct with evidence-based practice

• The emotional toll of nursing and how to process grief and trauma

• How journaling can unlock healing and purpose

If you’ve ever wondered how healthcare workers endure the unimaginable—or how to reconnect with your own inner compass—this episode will leave you inspired, grounded, and grateful.

Jenn Johnson, a seasoned ER nurse in Canada, discovered the power of intuition by listening to her body and recognizing what was happening with patients before tests confirmed diagnoses. Despite enduring bullying and toxic workplaces, she grew stronger through each experience, learning to trust her instincts and advocate for herself and others. Jenn shares how intuition, when combined with medical expertise, can accelerate patient care and improve outcomes. Her colleagues value her ability to act quickly on gut feelings, often saving lives. Jenn’s new book, *Nursing Intuition*, explores the science and practical application of intuition in healthcare.

In this episode of The Amazing Authorities Podcast, Mitch Carson sits down with Dwight Heck — bestselling author of Give a Heck and a life & finance coach — to uncover how to transform your mindset, master your money, and live each day with intentional purpose.

From reframing “bad days” into “character-building moments” to running workshops that free people from the hamster wheel of debt, Dwight blends personal resilience, emotional intelligence, and financial strategy into a formula anyone can use. His journey — from overcoming childhood illness and loss to building a successful coaching business — proves that gratitude and purpose are the ultimate wealth creators.

You’ll discover:

• The “no bad days” mindset that will change how you process challenges

• Why gratitude in the morning and evening can radically shift your outlook

• How to identify needs vs. wants and free up hidden cash flow

• The key to breaking debt cycles without wrecking your credit

• Why life insurance is more than a policy — it’s peace of mind for your loved ones

• How to create core values and boundaries that guide every decision

Dwight’s story and strategies aren’t just theory — they’re lived experience, tested over decades, and proven to help you regain financial and personal power.

Give a Heck Financial was founded by Dwight Heck, who started his lifestyle financial planning business 22 years ago while living paycheck to paycheck as a single Dad of five children. Like many of us, Dwight didn’t understand the rules of the money game. Using strategies, he learned to help himself with his mental roadblocks, he turned his life around and now teaches others to do the same which is ‘how to live life on purpose and not by accident!’. Dwight accomplishes this through his best- selling book, top 3% globally ranked podcast, and his financial and lifestyle coaching business.
