  • Building Predictable Profits With Strategy + Resiliency with Charles Gaudet (Part 1)
    Feb 9 2026

    Burnout doesn’t just drain energy; it blurs judgment. We sit down with Charles Cadet, founder and CEO of Predictable Profits, to unpack how he rebuilt success by swapping hustle for strategy and turning adversity into a durable operating system for growth. From a childhood lesson about never selling “scribbles” to paying off massive debt after a health scare, Charles shares the pivotal moments that shaped a framework leaders can actually use.

    We dig into the difference between fast growth and predictable growth, and why the latter requires a stronger setup: creating, capturing, and nurturing demand with evidence and clarity. Charles explains how today’s buyers research across dozens of sources and why credibility, specificity, and a clear magic sauce beat broad claims every time. He also talks through building leverage so revenue doesn’t depend on a founder’s calendar, and how high performers measure value in time saved and sharper decisions, not just fees.

    The conversation is grounded in mindset without fluff. Charles reveals how he reframes resistance as a sign of an approaching breakthrough, treats learning differences as a superpower supported by a strong team, and uses gratitude to navigate grief and uncertainty. We touch on AI-driven disruption, positioning, and the practical steps to avoid feast-or-famine cycles. If you’re ready to stop shipping “scribbles,” strengthen your demand engine, and create consistent, month-over-month growth, this one brings perspective and playbooks you can apply this week.

  • Shampoo Lies, Wallet Cries + Resilliency with Kate Assaraf (part 2)
    Feb 5 2026

    Send us a text

    Feeling burned out by beauty hype and buried in empty bottles? We sat down with Kate, the founder behind DIP, to unpack how a tiny conditioner bar can outlast liquid bottles, simplify your routine, and actually reduce waste without sacrificing how your hair looks and feels. Kate breaks down the rinse‑off reality of hair care, why most “active‑packed” claims wash down the drain, and how she designed a bar that delivers soft, shiny results through months of daily use.

    The journey wasn’t quick—about 40 iterations across four years—but the principles never wavered: performance you can see after one wash, formulas that respect scalp health, and radical longevity that undercuts hyper‑consumption. We also get candid about what didn’t work. Paid SEO and ad packages under‑delivered, while real customers and stylists fueled growth through genuine enthusiasm. You’ll hear how eco‑minded salons stock DIP because it isn’t discounted on Amazon, why minis make plastic‑free services easy to offer, and the surprise win that the conditioner bar helps remove foils painlessly during highlights.

    Beyond the shower, this conversation is a manifesto for buying locally and rebuilding human connection. Store owners act as curators in a noisy, algorithmic world, helping people choose sustainable swaps that fit their habits and hair. Kate draws a vivid line from where we spend money to how our towns thrive, reminding us that a refill shop can feel like an old‑school record store—personal, knowledgeable, and fun. We close with a look ahead at a music industry partnership and a creative residency with the Savannah College of Art and Design’s atelier in Lacoste, where the next DIP product will be developed in public view.

  • How A Plastic-Free Hair Brand Won Hearts And Shelves with Kate Assaraf (part 1)
    Feb 2 2026

    Send us a text

    What if sustainable hair care didn’t feel like a compromise? We sit down with entrepreneur Kate Assaraf, founder of Dip Hair Care, to explore how a plastic-free brand can deliver salon-worthy results without sacrificing joy, simplicity, or your standards. Kate’s story starts at the pain point so many of us know: early eco-friendly bars that promised the planet and gave us crunchy, straw-like hair. Instead of settling, she drew on two decades in beauty and collaborated with a veteran chemist to craft bars designed to perform first—and just happen to be plastic-free.

    We unpack the full arc from idea to retail: dozens of iterations tested across hair textures from type 1 to type 4, a clear thesis that science is an ally and plastic is the real enemy, and a ground campaign that took before-and-afters straight to refilleries and zero-waste shops. Kate shares the outreach scripts, the rejections, and the moments when a single customer call—like a dad celebrating ouchless detangling—reignited her resolve. We also dig into cost and longevity, breaking down why a single conditioner bar can outlast bottles and save serious money while simplifying your routine.

    Brand and community bring it all together. Dip’s playful, nostalgic packaging nods to Trapper Keepers and Sweet Valley High, proving sustainability can be bright, witty, and welcoming. Customers help name characters, spread the word town by town, and redefine what “eco” can look like when performance leads the way. If you’ve been on the fence about plastic-free hair care—or you’re a founder navigating the emotional rollercoaster—this conversation offers practical tactics, honest encouragement, and a roadmap for building products people love to use and love to share.

  • Finding Purpose Through Illness, Art + Resiliency with Cheri Warcholak Lohrey (Part 2)
    Jan 29 2026

    Send us a text

    What if the life you planned falls apart and something brighter takes its place? We sit down with a writer and artist living with MS who turned a mother’s heartbreak and a tough airport moment into a creative movement powered by one simple rhythm: pause, breathe, pivot. From the birth of Cleo the Caterpillar to a forthcoming book titled I Am Cleo, she shows how self worth grows when you stop hiding, accept help, and choose a new path with intention.

    We dive into the real mechanics of resilience—how to pause without getting stuck, breathe without drifting into endless reflection, and pivot without spinning in circles. She shares the walking aids that expanded her world, the illustrator who pushed her to own “real artist,” and the readers who echoed her mantra back. Music threads through her process, with Kelly Clarkson’s Broken and Beautiful surfacing as an anthem for steady, underestimated progress. Along the way, a son’s candid insight and a daughter’s essay on a meaningful life become mirrors for how adversity reshapes a family’s values.

    Anchored by the quote “In a gentle way, you can shake the world,” we explore gentle influence, authentic voice, and the courage to keep your words intact while letting editors fix the commas. There’s a screenplay in the works, a growing platform, and a belief that timing can be trusted: I trust, I believe, I receive. If you’re navigating illness, career upheaval, or a dream that feels out of reach, this conversation offers practical steps and proof that purpose can bloom after plans shatter.

  • Finding Strength When Life Pivots + Resiliency with Cheri Warcholak Lohrey (Part 1)
    Jan 26 2026

    Need a spark when your plans fall apart? We sit down with author and former educator Sherry Warshelik-Lowry to trace how a teenage car crash, a hard-won recovery, and an MS diagnosis shaped a life anchored in three simple words: pause, breathe, pivot. Her story isn’t a highlight reel; it’s a toolkit for real people navigating real change, from shifting careers to parenting through uncertainty to honoring a body that sometimes says “not today.”

    Sherry takes us back to the blizzard day that upended her college checklists and rerouted her future. That early detour taught her how loss and luck often arrive together—and how meaning can appear in the aftermath. Years later, when MS entered the picture, she and her family chose presence over postponement. They reimagined trips, schedules, and expectations, proving that resilience can be gentle, resourceful, and practical: rent the golf cart, slow the pace, keep the joy. Along the way, Sherry found a voice as an international bestselling author, shaping her experiences into Powered by the Pivot and the children’s book Cleo the Caterpillar Can Pivot, with an audiobook crafted alongside her brother that turned storytelling into shared healing.

    We unpack the structure that guides her work—honor what was, experiment with what is, and build what could be—and translate it into everyday steps you can try now. If you’re facing a diagnosis, a career shift, or a family change that hurts in all the tender places, this conversation offers language, perspective, and practical ideas to help you move without forcing a sprint. Press play for a warm, candid reminder that you don’t have to leap the chasm; you can turn, one steady pivot at a time.

  • Silent Pauses, Stronger Progress + Resiliency with Coach Rob Tracz (Part 2)
    Jan 22 2026

    Fire needs oxygen, and so does your ambition. We explore how a simple, conscious reflection practice can pull you out of nervous busyness and into focused momentum, especially when big goals start to create anxious energy. With guest Rob, we break down how three to five minutes of quiet can reveal whether you’re rested, challenged, and moving the needle—then show how to use seasonal deadlines to push hard, pause, and recover without burning out.

    We get tactical about adapting routines to match your season so the morning ritual that once helped doesn’t become a time sink. Rob explains his Prime Performance Process across three phases: look good by building resilience and managing your inputs and digital diet; feel good by sharpening clarity, rules, and routines while you prioritize and then automate, delegate, or delete; and do great things by expanding influence, finding plus‑one relationships, and creating shared success. Along the way, we talk about silent walks, tiny meditations, and the courage to rest before you execute.

    Community becomes the multiplier. Mentors, masterminds, and aligned peers help you hold boundaries, avoid turning your craft into a second job, and choose ideal clients that respect your calendar. We also dig into personalization across the six‑month arc: some listeners will need operational relief first; others will need social leverage to scale. The through line is reflection without judgment and gratitude for the path so far, which turns mistakes into data and keeps motivation steady when the weather changes.

  • From Burnout To Alignment + Resiliency With Coach Rob Tracz (Part 1)
    Jan 19 2026

    Send us a text

    What if the grind that made you “successful” quietly stripped away your health, relationships, and joy? We sit down with high-performance coach and speaker Rob Tracy to unpack robot mode—the autopilot that looks productive but erodes your life—and how he rebuilt sustainable momentum by realigning identity, values, and goals.

    Rob shares his path from collegiate athlete and strength coach to 17-hour days, seven days a week, and the painful wake-up call of losing time with his father before he passed. The turning point wasn’t a bigger hustle; it was a Friday night with an empty calendar and a hard look in the mirror. From there, he mapped a different path: public speaking to sharpen influence, daily reps to regain presence, and a simple system to make better choices when ambition runs hot.

    We dive deep into Rob’s FLAG framework—Foundational values, Lifestyle alignment, Aspirations, Growth opportunities—and show how each pillar snaps your life and business back into place. You’ll learn to distinguish your true goals from expectations you inherited, audit your schedule so it reflects what you say matters, and choose growth levers that compound across every role you play. We also talk about seasons of life and why it’s okay to retire “should” values to make space for the person you’re becoming.

  • From Fear To Gratitude + Resiliency with Jeff Luther (Part 2)
    Jan 15 2026

    Send us a text

    What if the bravest comeback isn’t a sprint, but thirty seconds at a time? We sit down with Jeff, a former ultra-fit athlete whose diagnosis turned adrenaline into a liability and forced a reckoning with identity, fear, and the stories we tell about worth. The moment that changed everything wasn’t a triumphant PR; it was dropping kettlebells, saying “I quit,” and then agreeing to try again for just thirty seconds. That small promise opened a path from panic to presence and rebuilt trust in a body with new rules.

    We explore how gratitude can be more than a platitude—how searching for even odd, honest reasons to be thankful rewires attention and makes hope practical. Jeff shares how he returned to training with a coach who removed noise and hype, designed short heavy lifts, and prioritized safety over swagger. Together we unpack the mental loop many high performers know too well: If I don’t produce, what am I worth? From the hedonic treadmill to the fear of letting the dust settle, we challenge the belief that love and value hinge on output.

    Jeff now coaches founders, executives, and entrepreneurs who have achieved “success” yet feel strangely empty. Through candid questions and grounded exercises—like saying your private beliefs out loud as if to your kids—he helps leaders see the cost of their hidden narratives. We talk about bringing shame into the light, giving ourselves the grace we offer friends, and trading Who am I if I can’t for Who am I becoming. If you’re stuck between who you were and what comes next, this conversation offers a practical rhythm for progress, one micro-win at a time.
