“Really good coaching is allowing people to feel the space that they’re in, because we all make decisions from an emotional space, whether we like it or not.”

Pushing harder isn’t always the answer—especially in sales. When coaches ignore emotional resistance or try to “save” their prospects, they sabotage their results. Sales is about meeting people at their pain points and guiding them through their own decision-making process. The real skill lies in holding space, asking the right questions, and letting people come to clarity on their own terms.

Kirstin Carey explains how overachievement often masks a deeper emotional void, and how burnout is the inevitable result of chasing validation through performance. Her approach is to help clients feel safe enough to explore their pain without rushing to escape it. Using a model she calls the “Dr. Strange Close,” she leads them to visualize the version of themselves that already has what they want—and then confront what must be released to reach it. This hinges on presence, not persuasion.

Kirstin Carey is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and business strategist who built a seven-figure wellness company and now helps high performers align their business models with emotional intelligence and sustainable growth. She’s worked with Fortune 500 executives, built brick-and-mortar and online brands, and developed enrollment methods that prioritize both results and resonance.

Expert action steps:

1. Embrace Curiosity – Stay open-minded and ask questions. Approach situations with a mindset of discovery, similar to the way children naturally explore the world.

2. Seek Clarity – Understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. Clear insight into your situation allows for better decision-making and alignment.

3. Invest in Coaching – Get support from someone with more experience. Outside perspective and feedback can reveal blind spots and accelerate growth.

“It’s not what hand you get dealt, it’s how are you playing that hand out.”

Success in business doesn’t begin with strategy—it begins with how you think. Entrepreneurs who master their mindset, embrace uncertainty, and lead with clarity are the ones who move markets. Equally vital is mastering communication—internally, to drive belief, and externally, to influence others. Combine that with smart media positioning and you’ve got a recipe for high-impact entrepreneurship in today’s economy.

From overcoming extreme childhood poverty to building Studio Money and creating Turning Point, his methodology blends mindset reprogramming, irresistible influence, and monetization strategies for thought leaders. He and Nicky discuss why traditional media is dead, how podcast guesting creates the new edge, and how leaders can leverage platforms to drive visibility, clients, and real change.

2. Master the Skill of Influence:

Learn how to present your ideas in ways that make others want to take action. Whether you’re selling from stage or in a one-on-one setting, develop your ability to persuade ethically and effectively.

3. Monetize Your Expertise with Strategic Platforms:

Don’t just rely on traditional media—use modern platforms like podcasts to grow your brand and attract leads. Focus on guest appearances with clear messaging designed to convert interest into clients.

"Hopefully our American conservative brothers, our freedom loving American brothers will stand with us, stand with Canadian Conservatives to defeat these guys because we need your love, we need your support.”

If Pierre Poilievre didn’t lose any voter support, why did he still lose the election?

Sometimes losing the seat doesn’t mean losing the support. This episode breaks down the anatomy of Canada’s recent election and exposes the media spin distorting the facts. The real issue? A fragmented conservative strategy, a left-wing consolidation, and a failure to seize cultural media platforms that shape public sentiment. When perception outpaces truth, the loudest narrative wins.

Drawing on sharp analysis and firsthand political insight, the host explains why Pierre Poilievre remains Canada’s most conservative political leader in a century—and why he didn’t actually lose votes. The missed opportunity was in neglecting major podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, where millions of disengaged but persuadable voters might have shifted the tide. The lesson for freedom-minded movements? Ignore the consultant class and embrace bold, direct communication.

“It is extremely important, extremely important for you as a business person to understand that if you’re not going on independent podcasts yourself, you are leaving money on the table.”

When it comes to winning in business—or politics—visibility is the real game-changer. This episode draws a straight line between two conservative leaders: one who used modern media to win the hearts and votes of millions, and one who didn’t, and lost. The principle is simple: the platforms you show up on determine the results you get. Whether you’re a politician or a solopreneur, podcast guesting isn’t optional—it’s leverage.

Donald Trump generated over 500 million views and an estimated four million additional votes by strategically appearing on podcasts like Joe Rogan, Patrick Bet-David, and others. In contrast, Pierre Poilievre declined a personal invite from Rogan and stayed away from major independent platforms, missing out on hundreds of thousands of potential votes that could have secured him a win.

The episode underscores the vital business lesson: exposure drives outcomes. Podcast guesting has proven to be a high-ROI strategy for entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers who are ready to grow their reach and revenue.

“Any type of creativity involves some destruction. It does. So it’s a two-step forward, a one-step back situation.”

Disruption isn’t just a tactic—it’s a way of life for those who refuse to take the conventional route. This episode unpacks the messy, nonlinear path to building a meaningful business and career, showing that embracing creative chaos can fuel authentic leadership and entrepreneurial success. The key insight: true innovation doesn’t wear a uniform, and it certainly doesn’t follow the rules.

AJ Rice shares how a passion for literature and culture collided with a post-9/11 political awakening, launching him from grad school to the media world to eventually helming a powerhouse PR firm. He breaks down how backing Trump early wasn’t just a business decision—it was about backing authenticity, independence, and disruption. And now, as a bridge between MAGA insiders and RFK Jr.’s team, he lives at the crossroads of politics, publishing, and pop culture.

AJ is the CEO of Publius PR and a bestselling author of The Woking Dead and The White Privilege Album. Known as a behind-the-scenes architect of conservative media influence, AJ has worked with names like Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump Jr., and RFK Jr. His firm represents voices across politics, medicine, and culture, making him one of the most connected men in the world of populist PR.

Expert action steps:

1. Accept the non-linear path. Success rarely follows a straight line. Embrace setbacks and failures as part of the creative and entrepreneurial process, and be ready to make trade-offs between different priorities like career, family, and financial goals.
2. Earn your way up. Don’t try to shortcut your way to success. Build your foundation from the ground up so you understand every step of the journey and can navigate challenges with confidence.
3. Write your own story. Take full ownership of your life and choices. There’s no fixed formula or image of what success should look like—what matters is authenticity and merit, not conformity.

“People need to see these things. They need to know the truth... Our freedom is such a gift, such a blessing, and we need to preserve that.”

The movie The Puppeteers just came out two days ago, and with the Canadian election upon us, this episode couldn’t come at a better time. We’re releasing it a day early so you can hear the truth, think clearly, and vote with confidence.

Freedom is the foundation for creativity, business, and a good life. Without it, innovation dies, opportunities shrink, and people lose the power to shape their future. In this episode, we talk about why freedom matters—not just for politics, but for entrepreneurs, families, and communities—and why staying awake and aware is more important than ever.

Our guest is the lead actor of The Puppeteers. She shares how the script opened her eyes to the real threats happening inside Canada today, from foreign interference to secret police stations. Through real stories and raw experiences, we’re reminded that democracy isn’t automatic—it’s something we all have to stand up and protect.

Amy Rivard is a Canadian actress and singer who's performed worldwide and now stars in The Puppeteers. Her work brings powerful stories of truth and courage to life.

We encourage everyone to become informed, to value the right to vote, and to support efforts that expose corruption.

“If each of us is a thread in this resistance, only by linking together can we sever the strings of the puppeteers.” - Kevin Yang, director of The Puppeteers

Expert action steps:

1. Be intentional with your thoughts, because what you focus on shapes your reality.

2. Stay persistent in pursuing your passion, but if your heart is no longer in it, allow yourself to pivot and follow a new path.

3. Always strive to do your best, and consider reading The Four Agreements for timeless principles to live by.

"Every single person has to learn how to conquer fear and transmute it into power. If you don’t, you will be a victim to it your entire life.”

Fear isn’t the enemy—it’s the GPS. In business and in life, fear often signals the precise place you need to push through in order to grow. Whether it’s public speaking, investing, launching a business, or simply being seen, fear has a job: to protect you. But if left unchecked, it can become the loudest voice in the room. The key is to harness it, decode it, and use it as rocket fuel.

In this powerful session, you’ll hear about the mindset shifts that separate high performers from dabblers. From reframing failure and building belief systems to understanding how community and coaching catalyze change, the conversation is packed with strategies to help you choose courage over comfort—and success over stagnation.
