In this refreshingly honest and insightful episode, we sit down with LA-based fashion and beauty model Brittany Mason, who gives us a real-world look at the business of modeling—and all the hustle, sacrifice, and strategy behind the lens.

📸 The power of personal branding and professional social media
💡 Why runway work doesn’t pay—and what does
💼 What it's really like to run a modeling business, from budgets to billing

✔️ Life hacks (like how to cut onions without crying)

✔️ The balancing act between authenticity and aesthetic on different platforms like Instagram vs. TikTok

This week’s episode is for anyone who’s ever hit rock bottom, felt lost in their finances, or wondered how to truly level up in life. We rolled out the red carpet for Chris Felton — financial services entrepreneur, speaker, and author of "Think and Grow You." (And yes, the name is a nod to the timeless classic, "Think and Grow Rich!")

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll get in this jam-packed episode:

🔥 From Rock Bottom to Seven Figures Chris shares his deeply personal story of bouncing back from a costly divorce, a crushing mountain of debt, and the raw realization that he was the common thread in his struggles. If you’ve ever wondered how to really take responsibility for your life, his story is a masterclass in embracing change and owning your outcomes.

📈 The Real Reason for “Stuck” Finances Despite being a CPA and financial advisor, Chris reveals how optimism and delusion can look eerily similar if you’re not facing your actual results. The breakthrough? Committing to facing the numbers, ditching "hopium," and focusing on what you truly expect — not just what you hope for.

💡 Practical Steps to Get Out of Your Own Way Chris and his wife Marlo didn’t just talk about change — they lived it. Weekly financial check-ins, hard conversations, and a ferocious focus on the "why" behind their goals moved them from $250K of debt to seven-figure entrepreneurs. Key takeaway: You don’t get what you hope for. You get what you expect. And you have to be committed, not just interested, in the change you want.

💪 Why Discomfort is Your Superpower We dig into the uncomfortable truth: Most people are addicted to comfort, but growth lives on the other side of discomfort. Are you rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, or are you ready to steer the ship somewhere new? Chris tells all.

🔑 BONUS: Financial Alignment for Couples One of our favorite moments? Chris’ insight into how he and Marlo became a financial dream team. Want to fix your finances as a couple? Set shared, emotionally charged goals — and uncover your real why.

🎸 Plus, a little podcast banter on music, jam sessions, and the universal laws that outlast even AI. (You’ll have to tune in for those fun bits!)

Ready to rethink your relationship with money and personal growth? Don’t miss this episode!

P.S. Chris' story proves it’s never too late to expect more for yourself. What do you really want? Hit reply and let us know how you’re getting out of your own way — we’d love to feature your tips in an upcoming episode!

To your growth,

We had the pleasure of hosting Sherry Rais, CEO and cofounder of Enthea, a trailblazer dedicated to revolutionizing mental health care. If you’ve been curious about how psychedelic-assisted therapy is making its way into mainstream healthcare and employee benefits, this episode holds all the insights.

In this episode:

Sherry’s Global Perspective Sherry’s background is truly inspiring—she spent over a decade consulting for the UN and World Bank in over 35 countries. Her work on poverty reduction programs revealed a striking link between poverty and mental health—and why mental fitness is as crucial as physical health.

Breaking Down Treatment Barriers Traditional mental health treatments don’t always address the root cause. Sherry discusses the limitations of antidepressants and talk therapy, and why a new line of innovative approaches—including ketamine-assisted therapy—are showing promise for real, lasting change.

How Psychedelic Therapy Works Ever wondered what actually happens during a psychedelic therapy session? Sherry does a fantastic job explaining the neuroscience, the process (including those famous eye masks and playlists!), and why these therapies hold the key to overcoming issues like depression, PTSD, and even addiction.

What About Ketamine? Ketamine is already FDA-approved and available in all 50 states—and through Enthea, it’s beginning to appear as an employee benefit. Sherry shares eye-opening statistics on its effectiveness, with significant reductions in PTSD, depression, and anxiety, plus a high rate of patients coming off antidepressants altogether.

Getting Access—Now and in the Future If you’re interested in these forms of therapy or want to advocate for them at your workplace, Sherry lays out options for both employer-sponsored benefits and individual approaches. She also shares best practices for seeking treatment safely and effectively.

What’s Next? The future is bright: Sherry predicts more psychedelics will become available within the next five years, and she’s hopeful the benefits will become as standard as vision or dental care. She also teases cutting-edge research in non-hallucinogenic therapies and potential applications for kids and adolescents.

Key Takeaways:

• Mental health and poverty are deeply connected—and it’s time to tackle both.
• Psychedelic therapies get to the root of mental health issues, often with just a handful of sessions.
• Ketamine-assisted therapy is already making a major impact within U.S. healthcare.
• Speak to your employer about Enthea and these groundbreaking benefits!

We couldn’t be more grateful to Sherry Rais for sharing her expertise and vision. To hear the full conversation—including some fun stories, personal questions, and intriguing brain science—be sure to listen to this week’s episode.
