Matt Gutman - Chief National Correspondent at ABC News Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/dS5Wud75 Panic attacks are normal. Half of all Americans will experience one in their lifetime. That's Matt Gutman's message to you today. The intense fear, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom – it's your body's way of signaling a threat. But the true panic, the part our brains fixate on, is the initial 15 to 90 seconds of threat assessment. The rest? That's anxiety. And while it's undeniably awful, it's something most of us live with every day. So, if you've ever experienced a panic attack, remember: you're not alone. It's a normal, albeit unpleasant, part of the human experience. And it's something we can overcome. -- Follow @scottdclary & @successstorypodcast. #mentalhealth #anxiety #panicattacks #resilience #youarenotalone

Matt Gutman - Chief National Correspondent at ABC News Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/dS5Wud75 Sunday, January 26, 2020. Matt Gutman was making pancakes for his kids, relishing a rare moment of calm after a whirlwind 30-day road trip. Then the call came. His boss, voice shaking, "We think a helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant and maybe his family just crashed in Calabasas." Kobe Bryant. A legend. A hero. A patron saint of Los Angeles. Gone? The overcast sky outside mirrored Matt's sinking heart. Minutes later, he was racing to the scene. The panic was already setting in. Matt stumbled through their first special report, his mind a blank slate. It's a terrifying side effect of panic – the brain, laser-focused on survival, sacrifices memory. And then it happened. In that fog of fear, Matt mixed up a confirmed fact with an unconfirmed rumor. A horrific, irreversible mistake. The first time anything like that had ever happened on live TV. -- Follow @scottdclary & @successstorypodcast. #leadership #resilience #vulnerability #mentalhealth #media

Rob Moore, Entrepreneur & Investor Full Interview: https://lnkd.in/dDBvHKfK Let's cut the crap. The broke mindset is a disease. It's a vicious cycle of emotional spending, depreciating assets, and zero financial leverage. It's a slave to impulse, a prisoner to instant gratification. The wealthy mindset? It's a predator. It's calculated, disciplined, and laser-focused on growth. It leverages assets, multiplies income, and turns every dollar into an opportunity. Here's the brutal truth: You are the sum of your financial decisions. If you're blowing your paycheck on depreciating crap, you're broke. If you're investing in assets that generate income, you're building wealth. It's that simple. So, the question is: Which are you feeding? Are you the slave or the predator? The choice is yours. But choose wisely. Your financial future depends on it. #mindset #wealth #finance #personalfinance #investing #success

Will Ahmed, founder of Whoop Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/d_zJ8a-R A simple, yet powerful mantra: Keep going. Building a business? Chasing a dream? Facing personal challenges? The road's never smooth - peaks and valleys are guaranteed. Riding high? Tempting to kick back, right? But hold up, complacency is a silent killer. Something's always lurking, ready to derail you. So keep going. Don't get cocky. Stay hungry. Struggling? Discouragement's a bitch. But remember, dawn always follows the darkest night. Keep going. Don't surrender to despair. Stay resilient. Hemingway nailed it: "The sun also rises". Life's cyclical. Change is the only certainty. So don't be defined by your highs or lows. Find your balance amidst the chaos. Whether you're creating something from nothing, or navigating life's complexities, remember: The highs and lows are inevitable. You just gotta keep going. #keepgoing #resilience #entrepreneurship #motivation

Dmitri Alperovitch - Co-Founder of CrowdStrike Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/dm6np2vz 2010. McAfee. A call from Google. State-sponsored hack. Game changer. Operation Aurora exposed the reality: it's not a "cyber" problem, it's a nation-state problem. Russia. China. Iran. North Korea. They're stealing IP, disrupting businesses, and we're just starting to understand the scope. The threat has evolved. So have we. But the stakes are higher than ever. This is a fight we can't afford to lose. #cybersecurity #nationstate #infosec

Ciera Rogers - Fashion Designer & Founder of BABES Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/eBngbzwy Ever wondered how some brands command cult-like devotion? It's not just about the product, it's about the people. You guys know I'm all about building community, not just customer bases. But let's be real, creating that kind of passionate following is HARD. So how do you do it? Here's Ciera Roger's playbook (founder of BABES): Stalk Your Customers (in a good way): She gets to know her people. What they buy, where they live, what makes them tick. This isn't just data, it's the foundation for real connection. Get Personal: She talks to her customers directly. She asks for feedback, opinions, ideas. Then she actually ACTs on that input, letting them know their voice matters. It's a conversation, not a monologue. Create Access: She make her customers feel like they know her, like they have a direct line. That kind of access builds trust and turns customers into fans. Remember: It's not about selling product, it's about forging relationships. That's how you build a brand people are obsessed with. #CommunityBuilding #BrandLoyalty #CustomerObsession #Entrepreneurship #Authenticity

Milton "Todd" Ault III - Chairman of Ault and Company, Inc. Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/djU7bnsU Cut through the noise, focus on the fundamentals Ever feel overwhelmed by the constant barrage of financial news and “hot tips”? Remember, the stock market isn’t a casino. Investing is about owning a piece of a business. So, what should you focus on? Read the 10-Ks and 10-Qs. These reports aren’t just regulatory filings, they’re a treasure trove of information about a company’s operations, financials, and future plans. Understand the business. What does the company do? What are its competitive advantages? What are the risks? Know your risk tolerance. Common stock is the riskiest part of the capital structure. There’s potential for high returns, but also for losses. Bottom line: Don’t be a gambler, be an owner. If you don’t understand what you’re buying, you’re just speculating. And that’s a dangerous game. #investing #fundamentals #knowwhatyouown #commonstock #preferredstock

Milton "Todd" Ault III - Chairman of Ault and Company, Inc. Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/d6i7rTCf The power of scheduled anxiety. Ever meet someone whose life seems like a never-ending dumpster fire? Yet, they somehow manage to not only survive but thrive? That's Todd Ault. His wife jokes he has a knack for attracting chaos, but he's turned that into a superpower. His secret weapon? A framework for dealing with overwhelming problems, one that most people wouldn't dare try. The Ault Method: Embrace the Anxiety The Worry Window: Instead of fighting the worry, schedule it. Give yourself a dedicated 15-30 minutes each day to indulge in the fear and uncertainty. Let it all out. Action Time: When the timer goes off, worry time is over. The rest of the day is dedicated to taking action. Tackle the problems, find solutions, and make progress. Repeat: Make this a daily ritual. Train your mind to compartmentalize worry, freeing up your energy for action. Why This Controversial Method Works Control: You're not suppressing your worries; you're giving them a designated space. This creates a sense of control over your anxiety. Focus: By setting a time limit, you avoid getting stuck in a cycle of worry. Productivity: With less time spent worrying, you have more time to focus on taking action and solving problems. Is this for everyone? Probably not. This method requires a high level of self-awareness and discipline. But for those who feel overwhelmed by their problems, it could be a game-changer. The takeaway? Ault's approach challenges conventional wisdom about stress management. Instead of avoiding anxiety, he embraces it, harnesses its power, and uses it to fuel action. So, if you're facing a mountain of challenges, maybe it's time to try worrying like a pro. #mindset #resilience #productivity #leadership #stressmanagement #mentalmodels

Rick Macci - Williams Sisters Tennis Coach Full Episode: https://lnkd.in/d34e6DDv Most people are wrong about success. Here's why... Rick Macci has had the privilege of coaching some incredible athletes over the years. They've taught him just as much as he's taught them. And some of the biggest lessons? They have nothing to do with sports. Success is Built on a Foundation of Challenges: We all see the highlight reel, but what about the countless setbacks, the missed shots, the injuries? Every successful person has faced more obstacles than most people realize. They just handle those obstacles differently. Remember, it's not about avoiding problems – it's about how you react to them. Gratitude is the Game Changer: It's easy to focus on what we lack, but shifting our perspective to what we have is incredibly powerful. Gratitude isn't just about being thankful - it's a mindset that opens doors to new possibilities. So, whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, or anywhere in between, these lessons are universal. Embrace the challenges, be grateful for what you have, and remember – it's the journey, not just the destination, that truly defines us. #leadership #mindset #gratitude #motivation #coaching
