Descripción

What happens when the thing you’re proud of is actually the thing destroying you? Danno Hanfling used to work three jobs in a single day, sometimes pushing through 40 hours straight, convinced that more hours meant more success. He thought hustle was the answer. Until his body, his peace, and his life started proving otherwise. Danno’s story starts long before business. Growing up between two homes after his parents divorced, he struggled with feeling unsupported, disconnected, and undeserving of love. That wound eventually led him into nightlife and event promotion, not for the parties, but for the family, connection, and community he found there. From handing out flyers before social media existed, to helping fill events with thousands of people, Danno learned something most entrepreneurs still miss: Business is not built on followers. It is built on people. But even after discovering his gift for bringing people together, he had to face a deeper belief: “Who am I to serve?” That belief kept him small until he started rewriting the script around money, impact, leadership, and his own worth. Some of the biggest turning points in this conversation: He realized working harder was not the same as building freedom. He went from feeling undeserving of love to feeling undeserving of service. He stopped seeing money as bad and started seeing it as a tool for impact. He built communities where strangers became clients, supporters, and family. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why hustle culture can become a socially accepted form of self-abandonment How childhood programming shapes your money and success beliefs Why community is more than a Facebook group or audience The difference between selling to people and truly serving them How Danno shifted from scarcity to impact-driven abundance Why money can expand your mission when your values are clear Guest: Danno Hanfling Connect with Danno: 🔗 Facebook: Danno Hanfling 🔗 His ecosystem: Evolve Omega 🔗 His community: Greater Impact Community on Facebook 👉 DM Danno the keyword “FREEDOM” on his business page to get his special gift and see his chatbot systems in action. 🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.

episode How to Stop Feeling Like You're Not Good Enough w/ Ian Norton artwork

How to Stop Feeling Like You're Not Good Enough w/ Ian Norton

Most people think they need more confidence. Ian Norton thinks they need something simpler — and most of us were quietly trained out of it. Ian is a confidence coach who has worked with royalty, celebrities, and business leaders. But before any of that, he grew up gay in a strict military family at a time when it was still illegal in the UK — taught from age nine that something was "wrong" with him and needed fixing. Chasing a sense of belonging, he fell in with a glamorous London crowd, ran a few "dodgy" packages without realizing what they were, and ended up serving four months in one of the country's most hardcore prisons. That's where the script flipped. Everyone else wanted out. Ian asked to stay — so his friends could visit. And somewhere in that cell he found the one thing he now builds everything on: the trust that he'd be okay no matter what happened. A few turning points from the conversation: - The moment in prison he realized nothing else in life could really scare him again - Walking into Kensington Palace to coach Princess Diana — who wanted to hear about prison - Why he says "I am enough" is one of the most damaging things you can tell yourself - The reframe he gives clients who blame themselves for everything: "Who do you think you are?" In this conversation, you'll learn: - Why your nervous system reacts to a product launch the same way it would to a predator attacking - The "GOOP" trap (the good opinion of other people) that's secretly running your decisions - How people quietly rig their lives to make winning impossible and failing easy - Why "what if it goes wrong" and "what if it goes right" are equally true — so pick one - How to tell the difference between real danger and just doing something new This one goes deep on the programming we mistake for personality — and how to start writing your own lines instead.

episode How to Stop Chasing Money and Actually Get Rich w/ Richard Lloyd Roberts artwork

How to Stop Chasing Money and Actually Get Rich w/ Richard Lloyd Roberts

What if the version of you that ended up broke was never really your fault — just a script you were handed and never questioned? Richard Lloyd Roberts grew up outside London with a hard childhood and a father who wasn't kind. He failed every subject in school, escaped into the merchant navy as a galley boy, and spent years convinced that "get a job and grind" was all life had for him. Then he chased money the wrong way — selling watches out of a car window across Europe — and when he finally made it to America, the whole thing collapsed. He ended up broke, homeless, and drinking, all at the same time. He says he could have died. That was how close it got. The thing that turned it wasn't a windfall. It was a book about the conscious and subconscious mind, and the realization that the limiting voices in his head were running the show. This is a conversation about the programming underneath money — the difference between saying "I want success" and living from "I am," why he hated himself most when he was richest, and how he kept rebuilding from zero more than once without giving up. A few moments that stuck with me: the night he walked into a room of 80 "successful" people and discovered every single one was just as scared as he was. The lighting contract that made him real money and left him empty. And the coffee-shop moment, dead broke again, that became a million-dollar company. In this conversation, you'll learn: - Why "I want money" is the exact phrasing that keeps people stuck — and what to say instead - How chasing money directly made him miserable, and what he changed the year he flipped the script - The simple way he kills anxiety and self-doubt before going on camera or into a room full of "bigger" people - Why becoming the person comes before doing the work (the be-do-have order most people get backwards) - How he turned imposter syndrome into his biggest advantage at a Tony Robbins mastermind Guest: Richard Lloyd Roberts Connect with Robert👇 🔗 Website: The Soulpreneur Agency, thesoulpreneur.agency [http://thesoulpreneur.agency] 🔗 Facebook: Richard Lloyd Roberts 🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.

episode Job vs Starting a Business: Which Is Actually Safer? w/ Eric Thayne artwork

Job vs Starting a Business: Which Is Actually Safer? w/ Eric Thayne

What if the "safe path" everyone pushed on you is actually the riskiest move you could make? Eric Thayne grew up in an extremely traditional family — college, get a job, work the job. Everyone around him followed it. He didn't. He started his first real business at 13, designing graphics for bands on MySpace and collecting $20 payments through a brand-new thing called PayPal. By the time he "learned" graphic design in college, he already had 11 years of paid experience and realized the classroom couldn't teach him what real reps already had. Eric has since helped scale multiple seven-figure brands with organic content that's pulled over 500 million views. But this conversation isn't a flex reel. It's about the programming most of us never question: that a job equals safety, that failure is real, and that grinding yourself into the ground is the price of success. The friction runs deep. Eric pushes back on the idea of "risk" entirely — arguing that every decision carries a possible future you don't want, so the imagined downside is just a story you're making up. If you're going to make one up, why not a good one? And the real way to shrink risk isn't to play small — it's to stack skills until the deck tips in your favor. A few moments that turn the conversation: — Why a full-time job can leave you with less control, not more — The reframe that quietly erased "failure" from his vocabulary — Why he refuses to schedule mornings and works with his body's rhythm instead of fighting it — The final-message gut-punch: realizing the "need" to be successful was never real In this conversation, you'll learn: - Why "stable" jobs can carry more hidden risk than starting a business - How to reframe failure as data instead of an ending - The skill-stacking approach that makes risk shrink as you grow - Why peak mornings + free-flowing blocks beat the 8-hour grind - How hustle culture is engineered to scare you into buying and burning out - What it actually means to teach kids (and yourself) how value is created Guest: Eric Thayne Connect with Eric👇 🔗 Website: ericdain.com [http://ericdain.com] 🔗 Facebook: Eric Thayne 🔗 Eric’s book: createdontcapture.com [http://createdontcapture.com] 🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.

episode How to Start a Business When You're Autistic or ADHD w/ Elissa Renee artwork

How to Start a Business When You're Autistic or ADHD w/ Elissa Renee

We're taught from day one that depending on other people is a weakness. What if that belief is the exact thing keeping you stuck? In this episode I sit down with Elissa Renee — a speech language pathologist, CEO, and late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD entrepreneur behind Speech Works. For most of her life she was handed the standard script: be independent, get a stable job, stop relying on anyone. She tried to live it. The 9-to-5 wore her down, her health suffered, and she racked up more absences than anyone she knew. The real conflict wasn't her ability — it was a system that never taught her how to actually function in it. She couldn't read or write for years and quietly paid people to do it for her. Just walking to the mailbox and opening it could trigger a burnout that left her in bed for days. Nobody in school ever taught her how money, mail, or basic adult systems worked. They taught her the history of America instead. The turning point came when she stopped fighting how her brain works and started building around it. She went self-employed and became her own boss. She discovered "body doubling" — and realized the help she was shamed for needing was a legitimate accommodation, not a flaw. She learned to ask for help by going straight to the top. And she got in front of a camera for the first time to put her work into the world. In this conversation, you'll learn: - Why so many autistic and neurodivergent adults thrive self-employed instead of in a 9-to-5 - How "you have to be independent" became a trap — and what changed when she let it go - The school-taught skills that were missing, and the real-life ones nobody teaches - Why asking for help (the right way) became her biggest competitive advantage - How she rebuilt her finances and routine around her actual wiring, not someone else's Guest: Elissa Renee Connect with Elissa 👇 🔗 Facebook: Elissa Renee 🔗 Website: speechworksbyelissa.com [http://speechworksbyelissa.com] 🔗 New project: yourchildcantalk.com [http://yourchildcantalk.com] 🔗 Socials: search “SpeechWorks by Elissa” on your favorite platform 🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.

episode What to Do When God Goes Silent and Nothing Works w/ Devin Schubert artwork

What to Do When God Goes Silent and Nothing Works w/ Devin Schubert

He had three months left to live. Then he turned down the treatment that could've saved him. Devin Schubert spent years building churches and ministries before his whole life collapsed at once. He came home from a ministry trip to find his wife with her boss. He lost his marriage, his job, his platform, and half his time with his kids. An elder told him he'd never be allowed back in ministry because he was divorced. Then it got worse. His son came to live with him full-time with severe trauma and aggression, and Devin spent five years and over $100,000 trying to find help the system kept refusing to give. The pressure broke his body, not just his spirit. Doctors told him his nervous system was shutting down from stored trauma. They gave him three months. This is the conversation about what happened next, and what he learned about identity, story, and the programming most of us never question. The turning points are wild. The night he prayed to die and says Jesus walked into his room and told him "it's not time yet." The moment he chose a four-month healing process over the instant miracle he wanted. The realization that hiding his accomplishments wasn't humility, it was getting in the way. And the line that reset everything: your identity doesn't come from the creation, it comes from the creator. In this conversation, you'll learn: - Why the story you tell from a place of pain plants pain in everyone who hears it - How "never share a story you haven't healed from" can protect you and your audience - Why he believes the child welfare system is designed around money, not kids - How he hit 100 stages in 9 months starting from total burnout and debt - Why relationship, not money, is the real currency that builds anything - The branding lesson hidden behind why he wears orange every single day Guest: Devin Schubert Connect with Devin Schubert 👇 🔗 Free ebook: createbetterstories.com [http://createbetterstories.com] 🔗 Facebook: Devin Schubert (the man in orange) 🔗 Instagram: Devin Schubert (the man in orange) 🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.
