    Mindset Matters - Episode #181 - The Power of Letting Go: Stop Holding the Banana and Start Moving Forward

    In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey dive deep into the metaphor of “the banana” — the limiting beliefs, old identities, emotional baggage, and outdated stories we cling to that keep us stuck and prevent growth. Using the story of how hunters trap monkeys with bananas, Patrick explores how our grip on the past, much like the monkey’s grip on the fruit, often becomes our own trap. Whether it’s a past trauma, a title or role we once held, or a belief that we’re not enough, these “bananas” shape our decisions and hold us back from living authentically and powerfully. Steffany shares powerful insights about identity, forgiveness, and the hidden resistance to moving forward. Her recent personal experience—winning a prestigious, unexpected award—illustrates how even recognition can bring up questions of worth and identity. Together, they explore how people often stay stuck in comfort or familiarity rather than face the discomfort of the unknown, and how clinging to the past can prevent us from fully stepping into our potential. This episode is rich with real-life examples, humor, and heartfelt dialogue as Patrick and Steffany challenge listeners to reflect on what they might be holding onto—and encourage them to let go with compassion and awareness. With key themes of personal growth, resilience, self-awareness, and emotional freedom, this episode inspires you to identify your own “banana,” loosen your grip, and create space for new possibilities.

    TEDM – Jeremy Delk – Failing His Way to Success (Episode 217)

    Born and raised in a small town and from a blue-collar household, Jeremy always held much bigger dreams. He longed to experience the world outside his small hometown of Bardstown, Kentucky. He jumped into entrepreneurial ventures with the naivety of a child and the tenacity of a tycoon. He started day trading at the age of sixteen, learning and failing with each trade. It is this process of adapting through failures that is paramount to his success in business. Jeremy’s knowledge and skill as a day trader helped him land a job as one of the youngest brokers at Fidelity trading institutional equities in Boston, and later in New York. It didn’t fulfill the entrepreneurial spark within him, so he decided to go out on his own creating Delk Enterprises. More than 20 years later, Delk Enterprises has holdings in biotech & healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development. Jeremy now focuses on investing in and advising entrepreneurs through speaking. His upcoming book shares his reality of the Good, Bad, and UGLY of entrepreneurship. It serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of fundamental principles he’s learned through his journey: while great times don’t last forever, neither do the truly bad. With so many nuggets of wisdom and lessons learned, you don’t want to miss this episode. Jeremy starts by sharing two impactful fork-in-the road moments that shaped his young life and ultimately his path to big changes and the big results he now enjoys. As a thriving venture capitalist, Jeremy describes his ideal business types and offers his 3 top tips when pitching your investment. Patrick and David have rich conversations about comparison, walking away from a $600 million exit, asking better questions and the value and necessity of the mistakes and lessons that shape who we become.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #179 - I’m Not Enough: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Inner Criticism

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany Francey dive into a universal and often unconscious belief that holds so many people back: “I’m not enough.” Whether it’s not smart enough, not successful enough, not attractive enough, or just not worthy, this pervasive inner dialogue can quietly sabotage your confidence, relationships, and personal growth. Patrick and Steffany explore where this damaging mindset originates—often rooted in childhood experiences, comparisons, and societal pressures—and how it continues to shape our choices and identities. Through authentic conversation, they reveal how high achievers, athletes, and professionals frequently operate from a place of not-enoughness, overcompensating through performance or perfectionism, only to still feel unfulfilled. This episode features compelling insights, powerful coaching perspectives, and two emotional parables—the story of the cracked pot and the eagle raised as a chicken—that illustrate how our environments, inner narratives, and self-talk influence whether we soar or stay stuck. Steffany shares reflections from the world of elite figure skating, where even the most talented athletes can falter under the weight of proving their worth. Patrick adds stories from his own experiences and clients, reinforcing the truth that real transformation begins with awareness and the courage to challenge limiting beliefs. If you've ever questioned your value or found yourself striving for external validation, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a wake-up call and a reminder: You are enough—right now, just as you are. 🎧 Tune in to uncover the truth behind the "not enough" story—and learn how to shift your mindset to step fully into who you're meant to be.

    Mindset Matters – Episode #178 – The Comfort Trap: Stop Settling and Start Growing

    In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey dive deep into the deceptive allure of the comfort zone and explore how it might be quietly crushing your dreams. Together, they unpack the emotional and psychological patterns that keep us stuck in safe, familiar spaces—at the cost of real growth and personal fulfillment. Using the vivid parable of the lobster—who must shed its shell to grow—Patrick draws a compelling parallel: just like the lobster, we only truly grow when we embrace discomfort. That discomfort might look like starting a business, having a tough conversation, facing rejection, or simply pushing beyond what’s familiar. Steffany shares real-life coaching insights from high-performance athletes preparing for world championships, emphasizing how discomfort isn’t something to avoid—but rather a necessary state that sharpens focus, fuels creativity, and unlocks peak performance. Together, they reflect on personal stories of navigating change, shedding old identities, and the emotional cost of clinging to comfort when it no longer serves us. This episode challenges listeners to examine where in their life they’ve settled—relationships, health, business, or personal development—and offers inspiring reminders that discomfort is not only natural but essential for growth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, athlete, leader, or someone craving change, this episode will resonate deeply. Packed with raw reflections, laughter, and honest moments, Patrick and Steffany invite you to ask the hard question: Are you fighting to stay comfortable… or fighting to grow? Tune in and discover why getting uncomfortable might be the most important decision you make this year.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #177 - Put Your Ego to Work!

    In Episode 177 of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany Francey continue their deep dive into ego—expanding on insights from Episode 176. Far from being the enemy, ego is a fundamental part of our identity. The key is learning how to master it rather than let it control us. Key Takeaways:✅ Ego vs. Self-Esteem: Ego craves external validation, while self-esteem is rooted in truth and self-awareness. When ego is unchecked, it fuels defensiveness, comparison, and resistance to change. ✅ Ego in Business: Many entrepreneurs and leaders struggle to delegate because their ego convinces them that asking for help equals weakness. True leadership comes from empowering others, not micromanaging. ✅ Ego in Relationships: The need to be right can destroy friendships and romantic relationships. Prioritizing understanding over winning fosters connection and personal growth. In love, fear of vulnerability often masks itself as avoidance. Real intimacy requires emotional honesty. ✅ Mastering Ego for Growth: Ego isn’t good or bad—it’s a tool. When harnessed effectively, it builds confidence and resilience. However, left unchecked, it can limit success, block self-reflection, and create unnecessary conflicts. 💡 Final Thought: You don’t need to eliminate ego—you need to master it. When you shift from ego-driven reactions to self-awareness, you unlock a new level of personal and professional growth.
