Frank Selden came to a cemetery ready to end his life and walked away with one question: “What if my actions in this life affect what comes next?”

In this episode of Experience Over Expectation, I sit down with Rev. Dr. Frank Selden, a former Army National Guard officer and JAG detachment veteran, and a respected tax and estate attorney who helped thousands of entrepreneurs build with calm, clarity, and care.

Then chronic, late stage Epstein Barr and related complications changed everything. Frank went from high performance and a full life to being in bed most of the day with no clear medical cure, and he reached a breaking point at Tahoma National Cemetery in Washington State.

What happened next, and what he did with that moment, became the beginning of a rebuilt life, reshaped faith, and a slow, deliberate return to meaning. Frank now serves others through trauma informed men’s work, functional medicine exploration, spiritual training, and writing for those living with chronic illness, pain, and mental health struggles. His upcoming autobiography tells the story, and the long work of learning to live again with eternity in mind.

What if success is not another achievement, it is a frequency you learn to live in

In this conversation, I sit down with Robin H. Clare, best selling author, creator of The Harmony Method, and a spiritual recovery guide whose work is grounded in her own forty year journey through obsessive compulsive food disorder and bulimia.

Her new book, Harmony, The Frequency of True Success, offers a path for aligning your inner life with your outer purpose so that success stops being a scoreboard and becomes something quieter and more powerful, ease, authenticity, and sovereignty.

We talk about messages from the divine, addiction to suffering, recovery as an integrated mind body spirit emotional journey, and what it means to live in harmony in a world that seems designed for discord.

In this episode

• The origin story of The Harmony Method, awareness, commitment, mastery, service, leadership, and freedom
• How alignment between inner truth and outer purpose helps us manage expectations
• Robin’s journey as a “sacred messenger” and what it feels like to receive spiritual guidance
• The role of Sophia and the divine feminine in healing addiction and suffering
• Why Sophia says there is only one true addiction, suffering, and everything else is a secondary expression
• Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional, how surrender and grace open the door to recovery
• Writing from addiction versus writing from recovery, and why Robin left both voices in her book
• Practical tools, the pause, cutting energetic ties, and letting others be themselves without losing your center

What if the biggest no of your life became the turning point for everything that followed

In this conversation, Gal Ezra, a South African-born entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Guaranteed Prosperity, shares how being stranded in Cape Town at 19 after a visa rejection with no money and no plan forced him to rebuild from the inside out.

By 25, Gal had built his first million-dollar business. By 30, he had sold four more. Yet his mission is not just about wealth. It is about creating 10,000 ethical millionaires who understand money as a tool for service, not status.

We talk about detours, havingness, fake realities around money, and what it really means to become the source of your own knowledge and your own life.

In this episode:

• Stranded at 19, how one no became Gal’s defining detour
• From events to finance to training, the through line behind multiple successful exits
• Why your current bank balance reflects what you believe you can have
• “Fake realities” about money and success that quietly keep people stuck
• The concept of havingness, why many people would subconsciously destroy a sudden windfall
• Principles of money, why tools do not work without the right foundation
• How Gal’s father refused rescue and gave him something harder and better, true ownership of knowledge
• What it means to become source over what you learn
• Why Gal’s mission is 10,000 ethical millionaires, not just millionaires
