Motivation, Inspiration, from The Space Between with Sean McClellan

Solo Boss Mom Interview with Stephanie Stevens

MEET STEPHANIE I love laughing and doing life with my kids. We love the outdoors and putting our toes in the sand every chance we get. I love being in/on any body of water. Taking in the beauty of nature nurtures me and gives me life. I’VE JUST TAKEN UP GARDENING AND HAVE FOUND NEW PASSION WITH MY FINGERS IN THE DIRT – WHO KNEW!! I advocate for those who have no voice and have for decades, including disadvantaged children, people with special needs, the elderly with mental health [https://www.miradorliving.com/resources/assisted-living-for-mentally-ill] conditions, and those suffering at the hands of circumstances they did not create. I wish to encourage, inspire, cheerlead and empower as many as I can with an authentic daily connection. I’m a life-long learner, committed to growing, expanding and pursuing self-mastery and believe this is a lifelong journey. I am passionate about my faith, and about bringing light, new ideas and paradigms and new ways of “being” to anyone who will listen. https://stephaniestevensshow.com/ linkwithsean.com

Experience vs. Tuition: Why Real-World Experience Outperforms Education, Degrees, and Traditional Learning

There’s a quiet truth most people don’t want to admit: experience will teach you what tuition never can. Classrooms can give you theory, frameworks, and polished ideas, but life delivers friction, failure, and feedback in real time. And that’s where real growth happens. You don’t build confidence by studying it, you build it by stepping into uncertainty and figuring it out. Experience forces adaptation. It sharpens instincts. It exposes gaps that no textbook can predict. The people who move fastest aren’t always the most educated, they’re the most willing to act, fail, and learn forward. Tuition can give you knowledge, but experience gives you wisdom. One fills your mind, the other rewires how you show up. If you want to accelerate your growth, stop waiting until you feel ready. Start before you’re prepared. Because the greatest lessons aren’t found in what you pay to learn, but in what you’re willing to live through. linkwithsean.com

Consumption vs. Implementation: How What You Consume Shapes Your Growth, Mindset, and Results

We live in a world overflowing with information, yet most people remain stuck. Why? Because consumption without implementation is nothing more than intellectual entertainment. You can listen to podcasts, read books, and watch videos all day, but if nothing changes in your behavior, nothing changes in your life. What you consume matters because it programs your thinking, influences your decisions, and ultimately shapes your results. But growth only happens when consumption turns into action. The real gap isn’t knowledge, it’s execution. High performers don’t just learn more, they apply more. They filter what they consume, focusing on content that challenges them, stretches them, and demands movement. If you want to grow, audit your inputs. Ask yourself: Is this moving me forward, or just making me feel productive? Because in the end, your life is not built on what you know, it’s built on what you do with what you know. linkwithsean.com

Healing The Wounds of Time Interview with Peter McGlaughlin

I help open-minded couples and people with an earnest desire to change and improve shed their old limitations and pain to realize their relationship goals and dreams. A life-threatening diagnosis of leukemia in 2003 led me to the discovery of how powerful our minds are for creating illness, health, despair, love, failure and success.  I have been married for almost 30 years and with my wife have raised three children who are now all in their 20’s. Mary and I confronted our own darkness of separation and potential divorce AND found our way back to each other. I was trained in 2006 at the American Academy of Hypnotherapy in Santa Fe, NM and have training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming from the NLP Center in New York City.  I’m a certified Hypnotherapist and Life Coach. I have owned, run and sold two businesses including a 50 person security business in Westchester Co. NY. I was a volunteer firefighter EMT in both Connecticut and Upstate NY. I’m the author of the business book, Becoming the Customer  [https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Customer-Empathy-Influence-Closing/dp/1457520664/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525609779&sr=8-1&keywords=becoming+the+customer]and the upcoming book Healing the Wounds of Time. https://www.petermclaughlin.com/ linkwithsean.com

Growing in the Dark: Why Your Hidden Work Is Preparing You for the Light

Growth doesn’t start in the spotlight. It starts in the dark. Just like a tree, your foundation is built where no one is watching. Roots push downward through gravitropism, anchoring deep into the soil. At the same time, the plant is drawn upward through phototropism, reaching for light it hasn’t even touched yet. That’s how real growth works. What you do in the dark, the discipline, the consistency, the unseen effort, is what eventually becomes visible in the light. But most people quit before anything shows. They don’t see immediate results, so they stop building the very roots that would sustain them later. The truth is, the dark isn’t where you’re buried. It’s where you’re planted. Every late night, every quiet step forward, every moment of persistence is shaping what will eventually rise. And when it does, it won’t be luck. It will be the natural result of everything you did when no one else was looking. linkwithsean.com
