Stop Burning The Boats: Why The 90-Day Success Myth Is Destroying Entrepreneurs with Chris Avery | Naked Sunday - Episode 170

In this episode of Naked Sunday, Caleb Nelson sits down with Chris Avery to call out one of the most dangerous lies in the entrepreneur world: the 90-day success myth. Chris breaks down why “burn the boats” thinking creates panic, bad decisions, and broken families—and what to do instead. You’ll hear the 20 Mile March story, how to build a business using micro time, and why slow, steady growth is the real shortcut. You’ll also hear Chris’s story of healing, faith, and forgiveness—and how facing your past can become fuel instead of baggage. If you’re building a business while juggling a job, a marriage, kids, and real life… this one will hit. What you’ll learn: * Why “just jump” advice is reckless (and often fake) * How to build a business without quitting your job too soon * The 20 Mile March principle (slow is smooth, smooth is fast) * Why fast success can be more dangerous than slow progress * How scarcity makes coaches control clients (and kills results) * Why business is personal growth in disguise * “Freedom is on the other side of forgiveness” * How to use your past as power instead of shame * Why purpose matters more than hype Connect with Chris Avery: * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.avery.9083/ [https://www.facebook.com/chris.avery.9083/] * Instagram (Coaching): https://www.instagram.com/chrisaverycoaching/ [https://www.instagram.com/chrisaverycoaching/] * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-avery-coaching/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-avery-coaching/] * Instagram (Chris Runs America): https://www.instagram.com/chrisrunsamerica [https://www.instagram.com/chrisrunsamerica] * Website: https://chrisrunsamerica.com [https://chrisrunsamerica.com/]

Why Good Marriages Struggle with Great Sex with Dan Purcell | Naked Sunday Podcast - Episode 166

Why do so many good marriages struggle with intimacy? In this episode of the Naked Sunday Podcast, Caleb Nelson sits down with marriage and intimacy coach Dan Purcell to talk about why strong relationships often hit a wall when it comes to sex, communication, and connection. Dan shares his personal story of growing up in a conservative environment, having a great marriage on paper, and realizing there was a whole deeper level of intimacy he and his wife were never taught to explore. That discovery didn’t just improve their sex life, it improved their communication, health, confidence, and overall happiness. This conversation goes beyond techniques and talks about the patterns that keep couples stuck, including people-pleasing, fear of conflict, and losing yourself inside the relationship. In this episode, we talk about: • Why intimacy struggles are more common than people admit • How avoiding conflict quietly kills connection • The difference between codependence and healthy partnership • Why sexual conflict can be an invitation to grow • How personal growth impacts attraction and desire • What it takes to build long-term passion in marriage Connect with Dan Website: https://getyourmarriageon.com/ [https://getyourmarriageon.com/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getyourmarriageon/ [https://www.instagram.com/getyourmarriageon/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getyourmarriageon/ [https://www.facebook.com/getyourmarriageon/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQphX4IJhjtLquH0dkKq4Q [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQphX4IJhjtLquH0dkKq4Q]
