  • Jane Dye: Navigating Grief, Health, and Family Demands with Compassion and Self-Love
    2024/11/12

    About Jane Dye: Jane Dye, RN, CCHC, is a Certified Transformational Health Coach and founder of Precedo Inc., where she combines her extensive background in nursing with holistic wellness coaching. With years of experience in hospital-based roles and as a former director of medical training, Jane shifted her focus to Precedo to help clients achieve greater energy, vitality, and life balance through personalized health strategies. She emphasizes sustainable diet and lifestyle practices, using an embodied coaching style to foster lasting transformations. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Jane is passionate about guiding clients toward vibrant health and overall well-being.


    In this episode, Brian and Jane Dye discuss:

    • Managing stress and health in the midst of family and caregiving responsibilities
    • The impact of grief on mental, emotional, and physical well-being
    • Strategies for cultivating resilience and self-care amid life’s demands
    • How to implement practical, incremental health habits for lasting change


    Key Takeaways:

    • Conscious breathing exercises, involving slow inhales and exhales, can help manage acute stress by engaging the body’s parasympathetic "rest-and-digest" system, which reduces stress hormones and stabilizes the heart rate.
    • The most effective habit changes often start with small, achievable actions that have the highest potential impact, allowing for meaningful progress without overwhelming demands.
    • Grieving requires patience and compassion, as each person must navigate creating a “new normal” rather than attempting to return to a pre-loss state, with support from friends, family, or professional resources.
    • Building healthful habits, such as staying hydrated and incorporating mindful movement, can offer stability and strength during challenging times, especially when paired with a mindset of adding positive choices rather than focusing solely on restricting negative ones.


    "The key to any change is honestly to figure out the smallest possible thing that could have the greatest impact." — Jane Dye

  • Chris Miles: Breaking Free from Traditional Financial Traps
    2024/10/29

    About Chris Miles: Chris Miles is the "Cash Flow Expert" and the anti-financial advisor, dedicated to teaching entrepreneurs and high-income employees how to achieve financial prosperity today. After four years as a financial planner, Chris realized traditional investment strategies often fall short, leading him to focus on alternative investments that generate real cash flow. As the founder of Money Ripples, he has helped hundreds of clients discover an average of $34,000 a year by identifying money leaks and implementing innovative investment strategies. With a proven track record and features in major publications like CNN Money and US News, Chris empowers individuals to take control of their finances and create lasting wealth.


    In this episode, Brian and Chris Miles discuss:

    • Managing finances while caring for family
    • Breaking away from traditional financial advice
    • Real-life financial setbacks and recoveries
    • Navigating today’s economy and retirement plans


    Key Takeaways:

    • Relying solely on 401(k)s, savings, and paying off debt could leave you with insufficient retirement funds, as evidenced by Chris's father's struggles despite following these exact principles.
    • Building passive income through investments such as real estate and hard money lending creates reliable financial freedom, allowing you to retire earlier and withstand market downturns​.
    • Avoid locking money into inaccessible places like mortgages and retirement accounts; keeping your assets liquid ensures you can access funds during emergencies or downturns, like the 2008 crisis​.
    • Instead of focusing on accumulating wealth, track monthly cash flow and aim for continuous income streams that keep generating profits, even during difficult times​.


    "If you want your own financial freedom to go up, you need to get your money out of prison." — Chris Miles
