    EP337: Rich Alderton – Adapting to Change
    Oct 9 2025
    “Resilience is defined as having the ability to bounce back. Adaptability is all about having the ability to bounce higher.” True growth begins the moment we stop resisting what life brings us. Change isn’t the enemy—it’s the invitation. Every obstacle, every disruption, every unwelcome surprise can become a spark for transformation when we learn to see it through the lens of adaptability. Fear and anxiety lose their power when we shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this teaching me?” The more adaptable we become, the freer we are to live without fear of the unknown. Rich Alderton shares how mastering adaptability intelligence transforms struggle into strength. He explains that while resilience helps us bounce back, adaptability helps us bounce higher. Rich illustrates how leaders and everyday people alike can learn to embrace uncertainty, manage fear, and use change—positive or negative—as a tool for personal growth. His insight reframes even life’s hardest blows as opportunities to rise. Rich is an author, speaker, and coach specializing in helping organizations and individuals thrive amid constant transformation. After a career that spanned factory floors to corporate boardrooms, he founded High Performance Change—a consultancy dedicated to teaching adaptability as the ultimate life and leadership skill.

    EP336: Scott Edwards - Be a Standup Comic, or Just Look Like One
    Oct 2 2025
    “Not only do we see that we can succeed, but even if we fail, we just get up, dust ourselves off and try again.” A clear path emerges: work hard, listen harder, and choose businesses you’re genuinely excited about. Success isn’t just profit; it’s finding vehicles that keep you curious and energized, then learning fast when the market teaches tough lessons. The episode distills a practical mindset: sell well, listen well, and keep your timing sharp—because opportunity rewards those who ship before the boom. From clubs to submarines, Scott Edwards shows how passion and experimentation can compound into track records (and stories) that money alone can’t buy. He leans on sales, timing, and relentless curiosity, while admitting mistakes, pivots, and the importance of dusting off and trying again. The result is an approach to entrepreneurship that’s joyful, gutsy, and teachable. Scott is a lifelong entrepreneur and producer who launched one of America’s earliest full-time comedy clubs in 1980, worked with Gary Shandling, George Wallace, Bob Saget, Dana Carvey, and Jerry Seinfeld, produced TV series and large concerts, owned multiple companies (including a tourist submarine), and now hosts the Tag Team Talent Podcast.

    EP333: Ron Tank - The Moses of Wall Street
    Sep 11 2025
    “If you don’t do anything with it, then it can be taken away from you. So the end result is either you gain more or you keep none. And so we have a choice to make.” Wealth grows when stewardship meets action. Save first, invest intentionally, and improve your “ability” so you’re trusted with more. Momentum matters—get busy “at once,” compound wins, and cut losses. Markets reflect human behavior, so repeatable patterns appear; learn to read them and you’ll participate in business growth—without needing to run the business yourself. Wall Street isn’t just about money—it’s about responsibility. The lesson is simple: use what you’re given, take action quickly, and don’t let fear hold you back. Success comes to those who trust their own ability, stay disciplined, and make decisions with courage and faith. Ron Tank, author of The Moses of Wall Street, is a full-time investor since the ’90s who blends biblical psychology with market pattern recognition (“decision maker DNA”). He teaches everyday investors to act quickly, manage risk, and build wealth through disciplined, values-aligned investing.

    EP332: Deon Patrick - Wrongful Conviction 20 Years
    Sep 4 2025
    “I was in prison for 21 years, one month, eight days.” Justice can fracture lives when incentives reward case-closure over truth. This conversation unpacks coerced confessions, buried evidence, and the long tail of consequences that follow an exoneration—housing denials, job barriers, and the quiet administrative ghosts that never fully clear. It’s also a study in resilience: knowledge, community investment, and purposeful work as a path forward. From the guest’s side, the story spans a 1992 double-homicide investigation, a cascade of forced statements, and 21 years, one month, eight days incarcerated. The turning point hinged on withheld lockup records proving a co-defendant was in jail at the time of the murders. Post-release, the guest focused on learning law inside, then investing outside—rehabbing properties and backing a neighbourhood steakhouse—while candidly describing the lingering stigma of a vacated conviction. Deon Patrick is a Chicago exoneree and co-author of The Hazel Boys, sharing first-person lessons on systemic failure, endurance, and rebuilding through investing and community revitalization.

    There’s a real thing called fight or flight… people freeze… And that is where I believe FlipLok can, yes, save lives” Sometimes the best ideas come from real-life problems. This episode explores how one parent turned fear into function by creating a standardized, easy-to-use safety system. It’s about designing under stress: keeping actions simple, empowering even the smallest hands, and ensuring protocols are consistent whether at home, school, or high-security institutions. Reger reveals how a lockdown drill at her daughter’s school exposed serious flaws—teachers had keys but kids had nothing, and stacking furniture was the only fallback. She responded by inventing FlipLok, a device strong enough to withstand thousands of pounds of force, yet simple enough for anyone to engage instantly. Now it’s protecting classrooms, hospitals, embassies, and offices. Guest bio: Anna Reger is the inventor and patent holder of FlipLok, a high-security door device now used worldwide in schools, hospitals, embassies, government, and commercial buildings.

When fear is recognized for what it is, the cycle of self-blame can finally be broken. Rhonda Britten shares her powerful framework—the Wheel of Fear and the Wheel of Freedom—which helps uncover core fears and replace them with proactive, life-affirming behaviors. Through stories, examples, and practical exercises, she shows how to move from fear-driven reactions to living authentically, courageously, and fully aligned with your true self.
