August 22, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 540 – Mindset Monday’s – Saying Yes Creates More
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_540-Mindet_Mondays-Saying_Yes_Creates_More_AuditionEdit.mp3
Have you wanted to do something for a very long time? Have wanted to move somewhere, buy something, or do something for no reason other than, “I want it”? If so, then follow that desire—even if it’s something small. This expands your life and opens up incredible opportunities for you. In short, saying yes matters.
People often tell my CEO, Steph Tuss, “I’ve wanted this thing for a long time. I can feel it in my body. On the surface it seems silly, but I’ve always wanted it.”
Steph’s response to them is, “By when will you have it?” Most people come up with excuses on why they can’t do it. But it’s just a decision.
In this episode, we discuss:
How getting the thing you want, pushes against some of your old values that no longer serve you
How the universe expands to meet you—and brings you more opportunities—when you take action on your desire
Why it’s not the thing you want that matters—it’s the reason WHY you’re saying yes or no to it that makes the difference
How purchasing something you want that’s unrelated to business will absolutely have an impact on your business
Steph’s story of deciding to move to Maryland 11 years ago into a house at a much higher price point than her family was used to, and how everything in her life expanded as a result of this decision
How your environment impacts your growth
Why the phrase, “You don’t need that” shuts down a person’s desire

If you’ve been wanting to do something for a long time, do it. Book the trip. Buy the Rolex. Get the house you want. Make a decision to do something that will cause you to grow. Allow yourself to follow your desire. The universe will open up incredible opportunities for you.
The Universe gives us exactly what we ask for. It just comes down to making a decision, and doing something for expansion.
If you’re willing to do whatever it takes to pay for that thing, then set a date by when you’ll have it. And follow through. You’ll be amazed at what changes for you.

August 18, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 539 – Full Throttle Thursday – Is Detachment From Media Dangerous?
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/FTT_Episode_539-Is_Detachment_From_Media_Dangerous.mp3
Huge changes are coming upon our world. The World Economic Forum has essentially said that in 2030 you’re not going to own anything and you’re going to be happy. And they’re seriously trying to make this happen. The White House has criminalized free speech in many cases. The academic system is changing our history and inserting all kinds of crazy things in there. By the time people get out of school, they don’t know how to think.
If you don’t know what’s happening—and you don’t know where to get accurate information about it—you won’t be able to make correct decisions for yourself. Detachment from the media (including mainstream media and social media) can be dangerous and irresponsible. Yes, there are good and bad things about it, and there’s constant noise and negativity…but you still need to know what’s happening, because it WILL affect you.
In this episode, BT and I discuss:
How all news is a business with an agenda—and corruption comes from media being loyal to their shareholders and advertisers
How CNN got in big trouble, and they’re almost out of business because of things they’ve lied about
How journalistic integrity has taken a backseat in favor of clickbait headlines and, “If it bleeds, it leads” (there’s no such thing as “unbiased” news, because all humans are biased)
The nature of propaganda—how it consistently sells you on FEAR, in order to intentionally manipulate you
My thoughts on “wokeness,” and how derogatory attitudes towards police can be traced back to the 60s and 70s—in shows like Dragnet and Adam-12
How the generation of kids from the ’50s and ‘60s are now in power in this country
How, during the Civil War, only 30% of people cared about what was happening back then—because people have a tendency to want to ignore what’s going on

Plus, I share why I don’t think everyone will end up “in the same boat” in our country. Historically, propaganda has always gone after the weakest among us: the uneducated, those who aren’t prepared, and those who aren’t keeping up to date on what’s going on. Things can be taken away from those people very easily.
It will be much more difficult for the government to take money away from big multimillion dollar companies. They’re going after “the little guy.” Those people are in big, big trouble.

August 15, 2022Mindset Monday’s – Winning Through Intimidation
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_538-Mindset_Mondays-Winning_Through_Intimidation.mp3

Winning Through Intimidation by Robert J. Ringer is one of the top 15 books I’d recommend for business people to read. I first found out about this book in the 1990s, and my initial response was, “I don’t want to win through intimidation.” Although it’s catchy, the title is a bit misleading.
The author tells stories through the metaphor of “Screw U” university and defines the 3 types of intimidators—people who show up in your life who will cause you to lose. A big idea in the book is to stop assuming people have your best interests in mind, because they don’t.

The 3 types of intimidators are:

People who openly act in their own self-interest and basically give zero sh#ts about you.

People who work behind your back to cut you out. They say one thing to you, but behind your back they’re very much working against you.

People, who despite their best intentions, cut you out regardless.

All three types are dangerous.

In this episode, we discuss:

How Winning Through Intimidation translates to business and how, in any financial transaction, the person who’s most intimidated will earn the least

How you can avoid being intimidated and losing

Why you should stop assuming that just because someone’s “nice” to you, they have your best interest in mind (they don’t)

The importance of looking at a person’s “performance data” before you blindly trust them (which from the book, Trust, by Iyanla Vanzant)

Why you should make decisions based on performance data—not on what people are constantly telling you

How “triangulation” is key part of someone’s psychology who has narcissist borderline personality disorder—they feel like a terrible person inside and are constantly trying to see how many pawns they can move in their favor, so that they don’t feel like a terrible person

How many business owners hire people who are either “them” or someone below them—rather than looking for the absolute best that they could hire to move them forward

If you feel intimidated by someone, it’s either because your self-esteem is low, or you see yourself as “below” that person. This book helps bring you up, so that you see yourself as an equal.

August 11, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 537 – Full Throttle Thursday – A Conversation with Dr. Andrew Benedek
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/FTT_Episode_537-A_Conversation_w_Dr_Andrew_Benedek.mp3
Dr. Andrew Benedek is an entrepreneur who focuses on the idea of climate change. His current company, Anaergia, is designed to help offset climate change by generating “renewable natural gas” to replace the natural gas currently being used. His previous company developed technology for recycling water.
When it comes to climate change, many people believe the biggest problem is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuel. Dr. Andrew Benedek says, “Methane is 84 times worse than carbon dioxide.” Food waste and organic waste that goes into landfills is being converted into methane—which then goes in the atmosphere. “The concentration of methane is low, but the impact is very significant. About 37% of the impact on climate change is due to the increase in methane in the atmosphere,” he says.
With increases in population, we have more and more landfills, especially in Asia. Dr. Andrew Benedek’s company is trying to convert methane from being a problem to a positive fuel replacement.
In this episode we discuss:
How it’s remarkably difficult to change our fuel infrastructure, and it can take 60 years or more to do (e.g., solar power was invented 60 years ago, and today only 10% of the world’s energy in solar or wind)
Why Dr. Andrew Benedek thinks “the problem with climate change is that it’s very complicated”—and that the current structure of government and the four-year cycle of American elections makes it difficult to solve the problem, because it causes a “short-term view”
Why many technical people are frustrated, because they can see how things can be done, but they don’t know how to get technology commercialized
How 25% of Denmark’s natural gas is renewable—and they plan to get to 100% renewable by 2030
How government leadership and incentive can help us change infrastructure relatively quickly—yet at the same time, government often does not make a good business partner
Why Dr. Andrew Benedek believes the secret to creating a successful company in the environmental space is to “pick a problem that’s not going to go away, but will increase”

We also discuss Ford’s plans to lay off 8,000 people, GM’s announcement that they won’t make anything but electric by 2035; and Volvo’s plans to go all electric by 2030. Dr. Andrew Benedek says “The tipping point is going to happen soon.”

August 08, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 536 – Mindset Monday’s – Embrace the Imbalance
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_536-MindsetMondays_Embrace_the_Imbalance.mp3
People often ask us how to create “balance” in their business—particularly between work and family. As a business owner and/or parent, you’re responsible for so many different things. Whether you’re devoting time to a marriage, a family, a job, your church, your civic duties, or social interests—everything requires a certain time investment from you, for it to be effective.
When a person starts a business, that requires almost all of their time in order to be successful, especially in the beginning when they’re bootstrapping and doing everything themselves.
In this episode my CEO, Steph Tuss, and I discuss:
Why searching for “balance” is often a way to avoid feeling guilty—and how the search for balance is really someone looking for comfort
The phenomenon of “mom guilt”—and how parents can be emotionally torn between wanting to grow their business, and being afraid to take time away from their kids (so they end up using their kids as an excuse not to grow)
How being “out of balance” means discomfort
How you can eliminate feeling “off balance” by putting proper boundaries in place—when you’re working, you’re working; when you’re with your family, you’re with your family
Why you must adjust your goals based on your responsibilities and the things that are important to you
How Steph planned for imbalance as a mom, wife, and leader—and this helped her stay married
How being a people-pleaser and a peacekeeper can make you lose sense of who you really are—so it’s important to carve time out to be by yourself and to know what’s important to you

Just like with nature, there are seasons in your business. There are times when you’re planting seeds, setting yourself up, and things feel more quiet. Then there are times when you’re harvesting, and things are hectic. There’s no way to achieve balance when you’re harvesting—and you wouldn’t want to, because you want to capitalize on the opportunity in the moment.
If you’re at a flat line all year long, there’s no innovation, challenge, or adversity. Imbalance in business is what drives innovation. For that reason, you must welcome the discomfort that comes with owning your business. Embrace it, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

August 04, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 535 – Full Throttle Thursday – A Conversation with Kelly Bandas
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/FTT_Episode_535-A_Conversation_w_Kelly_Bandas.mp3
Kelly Bandas is a writer and comedian best known for her popular Instagram and TikTok videos, which satirize everything from millennial motherhood to social media culture. Using self-deprecating humor (with her being from the Northeast), her mission is to empower and lift up other women through community, inclusivity, and laughter.
Her new book is Rookie Mistakes: A Grown-Up’s Field Guide for Getting Your Act Together—which is hysterical, substantial, and a page-turner that’s hard to put down.
In this episode, I ask Kelly what inspired her to write her book, where she got her humor and insight from, and what her intention is with her book. She says, “I wanted to send the message that you’re never too old to change your mind.” Her book is light and uplifting for those who may be silently struggling with mental health and wellness.
We discuss:
How Kelly found inspiration from some of the toughest, darkest times of her life—and how humor got her through those tough times
Her passion for being a writer and a storyteller—someone who can get people to turn the pages and read “below the fold”
How Kelly was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety at an early age, and her experience as a failed mommy blogger
How people are making it through the day, thanks to being part of a community
The story of her dad taking her to a baseball game in the 90s (a time when it was “boys over here, girls over there”)—and how that experience created a bond with her dad, and brought about Kelly’s lifelong love of sports and baseball (she later got hired by the Boston Red Sox)
How people get “mired down in their own camp,” not wanting to hear any other ideas and wanting to be right (Kelly calls this “screaming into the void to other people who agree with me”)
How she played with format while writing her book, using light writing that’s like “coming up for air”

Plus, we discuss Kelly’s process for creating social media posts, and how her family helps her with that. She shares what life is like with her three boys who are 11, 8, and 6.

August 02, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 534 – What It Means To Be a Leader
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_534-Effective_Leadership_w_Steph_Tuss.mp3
With everything going on in the country right now, we could all use more discussions on leadership. Today we’ve got Steph Tuss, CEO of Life is Now, Inc., on the podcast with her husband BT, and they’re discussing what it means to be a leader.
Many leaders today expect their team and employees to follow through on things, yet they themselves fail to follow through on their own expectations—because they’re not “being their word.” As a leader, you have to learn to lead yourself. In business, you either sink or swim. Leadership is about getting yourself to do the things you really don’t feel like doing, or that feel uncomfortable.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
How Steph was called “bossy” as a kid, and how she embraced the role of a leader from an early age, starting with her standing up to bullies on the playground
How she became the face of the teacher’s union in California in her early 20s—and how her role as President of the Teacher’s Association came about because she was dissatisfied with how everything was run
Why Steph sees a “leader” not as someone who has authority, but as someone who represents other people; it’s not “you against them”—it’s you standing FOR them and WITH them
How Steph and Brandon’s weekly grocery budget was only $125, with nothing left over, while they were living in a small house in midwestern Wisconsin—and yet even at that time, Steph became aware of the need to invest in herself
How she transitioned away from the classroom and into a leadership position in her own nutrition business—and quickly ramped up to making six figures, thanks to working with several mentors
The leadership lessonsSteph learned along the way, especially when it comes to leading yourself

Steph believes life and business are both an adventure. As with any adventure, there are risks. There are up times, down times, blown tires, heat waves—but there are also beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The idea is for you to enjoy the journey, develop yourself along the way, and develop other people.
Regardless of what conflict happens along the way, it’s about knowing that “We’re going to be okay.” No matter what happens—every mistake, every misstep, every bad result—know that, “We’re going to be okay.”

August 01, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 533 – Mindset Monday’s – The Answer is Leadership
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM_Episode_533-A_Lesson_on_Leadership.mp3
People often tell me they want to make a quantum leap in their business. They want to know when things will get easier. When you ask for a quantum leap, understand that you’re also asking for a quantum leap in problems. They go hand in hand. Success doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with things being easier.
Many people are looking for a great leader in their company, but they’re looking for it out of desperation. It’s like, “Please, someone just take this mess I’ve created off my plate.” No good leader wants that. They want an opportunity to take their talent and skills, and do something great with it that makes a difference in people’s lives. They’re looking for the potential to fulfill their dream.
Sometimes people will say, “I need to hire my own Steph Tuss.” My CEO, Steph, and I always laugh when we hear that. I don’t think people understand exactly what Steph does, or to the extent in which she does it. Most people have no idea what she went through to become the leader she is today—to be able to run our company in the way she does now.
If you want to “find your own Steph”…ask yourself, are you prepared to be that leader yourself? Are you willing to put in the time, money, and dedication that’s required?
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
The history of how Steph and I began working together, starting back in 2009—and how she was a consummate student, with a strong desire and passion to learn
How it takes a certain level of commitment to become a great leader
Great leaders don’t just lead a company to a vision; they also manage and solve the “human” problems and conflicts that come up along the way
Just because you start your own business and have a product or service doesn’t make you a leader—leadership is something you must grow into, and be dedicated to mastering
Most people don’t want to quantum-leap their problems—they want to run away from them
A leader must walk in their own leadership (which is damn hard) before they can become a great leader of other people
All the things great leaders must be able to do

July 25, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 532 – Lessons on Leadership – Part IV – A Players vs B Players: How Tolerating an Adequate Team Will Destroy Your Business
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_532-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_IV-A_Players_vs_B_Players.mp3
In business, tolerations are dangerous. The things you tolerate are keeping you from growing and moving forward. If you’re not growing, you’re dying.
One of the biggest tolerations business owners have is an adequate team filled with B-players or C-players. These are people who show up, do what’s necessary, then go home. An adequate player is concerned with, “How can we stay the same?”—not with innovation or doing what’s best for the company. This puts the brakes on your business.
You don’t want an adequate team. Instead, you want A-players who are above adequate. A-players are hungry. They’re looking at where they can do more. They solve their own problems and think through solutions before bringing problems to you. Someone once told me that a deck of cards only has so many Aces, and the problem with most people is that they try to turn every other card into an Ace.
In this episode, Steph Tuss and I discuss:
How most people are raised with the idea that you have to tolerate negativity, wrong thinking, or unnecessary suffering
How negative circumstances are an opportunity—like a flag pointing you in the direction of something that needs to be changed in your life
How once you fix or remove a toleration, you can have an amazing outcome on the other side of it
The reason businesses don’t grow (hint: it’s because they spend all their time trying to take a Queen, a King, a Ten, a Jack, a Deuce, and turn it into an Ace)
The key characteristics of A-players—and why you can’t coach desire
Why you must hire early, and hire based on where you’re going, not based on where you are
Why business owners get emotional when hiring or firing people, or holding them accountable—and one of the main things you have to learn in business is to master your emotions
My company helps people move through difficulties in their businesses. When someone is stuck, we we start by looking at what they’re tolerating. The first question we ask is, “What are you in resistance to?” or, “What are you tolerating?” At the root of a toleration is a resistance to change something.
Your underlying mindset must be to do what’s best for the company, even if this means firing or hiring people.

July 18, 2022The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 531 – Lessons on Leadership – Part III – Communication & Accountability: Sunshine Your Mistakes to Make Them Your Greatest Successes
https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/content.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/Episode_531-Lessons_on_Leadership-Part_III-Conflict.mp3
Today my CEO, Steph Tuss, and I are talking about communication and conflict. Most people avoid conflict because of things that happened in their childhood. They associate it with mom and dad fighting over something…a bar fight or physical alteration … a winner and a loser… or with someone being made wrong. All of these things can feel painful, dangerous, and unsafe, especially when you’re a child.
Many of our clients are afraid to hold people accountable in their business, because they don’t want conflict. However, being conflict averse or conflict avoidant can bring your business to its knees.
Conflict is actually a good thing for business, because it brings out the best ideas . Disagreement, debate, different opinions, and different personalities are what bring about innovation. This can only happen through effective communication.
In this episode you’ll learn:
How the outside world reinforces the idea that you shouldn’t want to participate in conflict—because you could be canceled for speaking your opinion
Fundamentally, the US was built on the concept of freedom—to have a different opinion, have a different idea, to be heard, and to let the best idea win the day
Meritocracy means the best idea wins—not the most important person in the room wins; and you can’t get good ideas without conflict
Why conflict is required for commitment and buy-in on your team (because you can’t get someone’s commitment if they won’t voice their opinions)
How Steph brings a new idea to our team and wants the team to poke holes in it, and tell her why it won’t work and what could go wrong—so that she can see it from a different perspective (this is how we find our most innovative ideas)
Why our team has instilled the belief of “sun-shining your mistakes,” which means turning the light on your mistake (not sweeping it under the rug or hiding it from anyone)—because mistakes are an opportunity to grow and learn something new, so you get a different result

We should all embrace conflict in a business setting, and learn to nurture it in our companies. We should develop a healthy attitude around conflict, instead of trying avoid it or to change it to sooth our internal, emotional issues that we have about it.
