    FROM THINKING TO DOING: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? | EPISODE 15

    What would happen if you stopped waiting for the perfect plan and simply took the next step? On this early morning walk and talk episode, Lance reflects on two moments that changed when he stopped thinking about what he wanted to do and started taking the next step. From his first real professional speaking engagement in October 2024 to building the muscle through earlier opportunities, he shares what happened when he was willing to get experience before knowing exactly where it would lead. Then he looks at The Lance Cibik Show, something he thought about for one to two years before finally speaking into a microphone and shipping the first episode. Ninety days later, the podcast has more than 1,000 downloads between Spotify and Apple Podcasts, along with messages and conversations from listeners who have been impacted by the show. So what have you been thinking about, waiting on, or telling yourself you need to figure out first? Lance challenges you to consider what you might regret not trying and what could happen if you simply took the next step?🎙️ In This Episode 💭 Lance's two points of reflection from October 2026 and how they may relate to your own life and journey 🎤 The story behind his first real professional speaking engagement in October 2024 ✈️ What it felt like to get on an airplane, stay at a paid hotel, and speak to a corporate audience full of financial advisors 💰 Being paid thousands of dollars to deliver a motivational, inspirational closing-day keynote 😬 The uncertainty of being a rookie, newbie, and first-timer 🧠 The lesson from one of Lance's mentors: “The only way to get experience is to get experience.” 💪 How Lance was building the muscle and getting the repetitions before the bigger opportunity arrived 🌱 Why the work happening in the unseen can prepare you for opportunities you cannot yet see 📈 How one speaking engagement led to great reviews, testimonials, additional speaking opportunities, partnerships, coaching opportunities, and referrals 📖 Why Lance wasn't an author when he delivered that October 2024 keynote—and how Adversity Fuels Purpose came later 🎙️ Why Lance spent one to two years thinking about starting a podcast ❓ The questions that kept coming up: What would I call it? Who would listen? Who would care? 🎧 Why Lance finally decided to speak into the microphone during his early morning walks 📊 What happened during the first 90 days of The Lance Cibik Show 🔥 More than 1,000 downloads between Spotify and Apple Podcasts 💬 The emails, LinkedIn messages, texts, and conversations from listeners 🔮 Why Lance thinks about minimizing future regret 🚀 Why you don't need to know the entire path before taking the next step 💡 My Challenge to You What have you been thinking about but haven't taken action on yet? What are you waiting to figure out before you begin? What might you regret not trying a year, three years, or five years from now? What is one next step you can take before the end of 2026? You don't need to have it perfectly figured out—you just need to be willing to try. ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. ✔️ “The only way to get experience is to get experience.” ✔️ The repetitions you get today can prepare you for opportunities you cannot yet see. ✔️ The work in the unseen matters, even when you don't know where it will lead. ✔️ You may be a rookie, newbie, or first-timer and that's okay. ✔️ Consider what the future version of you may regret not trying. ✔️ You don't need certainty to take the next step. Your adversity doesn't have to keep you stuck; it can fuel your purpose. 🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik 🌐 Website: lancecibik.com 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lcibik 📧 Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎙️ Follow The Lance Cibik Show for conversations on maximizing your health, elevating your performance, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity as fuel for purpose, impact, and lasting success.

    SOBER OCTOBER: WHY ARE YOU STILL DRINKING? | EPISODE 14

    What if Sober October could be more than just 31 days without alcohol? On this early morning walk and talk session, Lance reflects on Sober October and the opportunity it creates to step back and consider our relationship with alcohol. Lance shares his own story of being seven years alcohol free, including the morning he woke up after a client dinner, slept poorly, missed his morning workout, had a less productive day, and drove four hours home feeling tired and agitated. He realized that alcohol was getting in the way of being the man, husband, dad, and performer he wanted to be. Lance also reflects on conversations with performance coaching clients who are currently minimizing or eliminating alcohol from their lives—and the physical, mental, emotional, professional, and relationship benefits they are already noticing. Sober October may be an opportunity to eliminate a toxin for 30 days. But Lance challenges you to slow down long enough to ask: Why are you drinking alcohol in the first place? And why are you still drinking today? 🎙️ In This Episode 🍷 What Sober October is and why it got Lance thinking about our relationship with alcohol 💭 Lance’s personal story of becoming seven years alcohol free ⚡ The moment Lance realized alcohol was keeping him from maximizing his opportunity and potential 🧠 How alcohol can affect sleep, focus, productivity, health, and the way you show up for your family 💪 What Lance is seeing in coaching clients who are minimizing or eliminating alcohol 📈 One client’s transformation after becoming alcohol free for more than 90 days 🔄 How alcohol can become our new normal, our standard, and our default 🎯 Why going sober for October can create an opportunity to consider going beyond one month 🚫 The behaviors and mindset tricks we can use to toggle back and forth with alcohol 🔥 Why Lance believes you can fight back 💡 My Challenge to You If you're considering Sober October, Lance encourages you to slow down long enough to consider: Why did you start drinking in the first place? Why are you still drinking today? Is there any level of misalignment between what you want to be doing and who you want to be at this stage of your life and career? If alcohol feels like a thorn in your side, keeping you from maximizing your opportunity, it might be time for a reinvention. It might be time for a reset. It might be time to establish a new identity. ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ Sober October can be an opportunity to eliminate a toxin from your body for 30 days. ✔️ Alcohol can become our new normal, our standard, and our default. ✔️ Lance realized alcohol was keeping him from being the man, husband, dad, and performer he wanted to be. ✔️ Eliminating or minimizing alcohol can affect how you sleep, feel, focus, work, and show up for your family. ✔️ You don't have to continue doing something simply because you've always done it. ✔️ You can reinvent yourself and establish a new identity. ✔️ If you make the decision to go sober, keep going one day at a time and make the next right decision. ✔️ Your adversity can be the place that fuels your purpose and inspires the impact you want to make in the world. ✔️ You deserve to maximize your opportunity—and in this case, your health. 🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik 🌐 Website: lancecibik.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcibik 📧 Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎙️ Follow The Lance Cibik Show for conversations on maximizing your health, elevating your performance, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity as fuel for purpose, impact, and lasting success.

    PERFORMANCE, PRESSURE & THE PURSUIT OF PEACE | EPISODE 13

    Performance can lead to pressure. And when pressure shows up, it can lead to stress, anxiety, burnout, and misalignment. In this early morning walk and talk episode, Lance reflects on conversations with high achievers and high performers who have spent years in the never-ending pursuit of more. Through real coaching client examples, Lance explores what happens when performance becomes pressure, how the never-ending pursuit of more can impact your health, family, and overall alignment, and why defining how much is enough can help create more peace. The question is not whether growth and performance are bad. Lance believes they can be powerful. The question is: Are you willing to pause long enough to define what success means to you? 🎙️ In This Episode 📈 How performance can lead to pressure and the never-ending pursuit of more 🎯 Why high achievers and high performers can struggle with anxiety, stress, burnout, and misalignment 💰 Why you need to define what it means to be successful and determine how much is enough 💪 How physical health, nutrition, exercise, alcohol, and sleep can be sacrificed in the pursuit of performance 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why time with your kids and family can become part of how you define success ⚓ Why high performers sometimes need to cut anchors that are keeping them stuck 🔄 How to create a new performance standard for a new season and phase of life or business 🎯 What a “terrific Thursday” versus a “terrible Thursday” can reveal about your priorities 🕊️ Why so many high performers are ultimately seeking another P: peace 💡 My Challenge to You Find yourself somewhere in these stories. Ask yourself: Where is performance showing up as pressure in my life and in my business? How much is enough? How do I define success? What would my terrific Thursday look like from the moment my feet hit the floor in the morning to the moment my head hits the pillow at night? What do I eat? What do I drink? What do I read? What do I listen to? What do I watch? Who are the people that I spend time with? Do they bring me joy? What am I doing at work that's efficient and effective? If you can get closer to that ideal day, that terrific Thursday, can you also get closer to peace? ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ Performance and growth are not bad, but they can become unhealthy if they create toxic pressure. ✔️ Define what it means to be successful for you and determine how much is enough. ✔️ Don't sacrifice your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual health at the expense of performance. ✔️ Sometimes you have to cut anchors so you can pivot and move forward in a new direction. ✔️ What served you well in the past may not necessarily be serving you today. ✔️ Create a new performance standard that aligns with your current season and phase of life and business. ✔️ Think about your “terrific Thursday” and how it aligns with the life you want to live. ✔️ Many high performers are not looking for more performance—they desperately want peace. ✔️ Slow down long enough to consider an ideal day and what success really means to you. ✔️ Your adversity can fuel your purpose if you choose it. ✔️ You can maximize your opportunity in life and in business without living at the expense of your health, family, and peace.🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik 🌐 Website: lancecibik.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcibik 📧 Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎙️ Follow The Lance Cibik Show for conversations around maximizing your health, elevating your performance, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity as fuel for purpose, impact, and success.

    NOBODY CARES? WHY YOUR MESSAGE NEEDS TO REPEL TO ATTRACT | EPISODE 12

    Stop Letting Other People's Opinions Keep You Stuck One negative comment can either become a limiting belief—or a powerful reminder that you're speaking to the wrong audience. In this episode, Lance shares the story behind a LinkedIn comment that simply said: "Nobody cares. LinkedIn is a career app." Just one day after bicep surgery, Lance posted about his recovery, performance coaching, and the mindset required to overcome adversity. What followed wasn't discouragement—it became a lesson in conviction, confidence, and why you should never let one person's opinion silence your purpose. If you're building a business, growing your career, creating content, or putting yourself out there, this episode will challenge you to stop seeking everyone's approval and start speaking boldly to the people you're uniquely positioned to serve. 🎙️ In This Episode 💬 The LinkedIn comment that inspired this conversation 💪 Why Lance refused to let a bicep injury define his future 🧠 How limiting beliefs often begin with one negative opinion 🎯 Why trying to please everyone is one of the biggest mistakes in marketing 🔥 The difference between attracting your ideal audience and blending into the crowd 💼 Why LinkedIn has become the foundation of Lance's keynote speaking and performance coaching business ⚡ How criticism can actually be a sign that your message is reaching the right people 🚀 Why adversity can become the very thing that fuels your purpose and success 💡 My Challenge to You Ask yourself: ❓ Whose opinion am I allowing to hold me back? ❓ Am I speaking with conviction, or am I trying to avoid criticism? ❓ What limiting belief do I need to let go of today? Remember... You don't need everyone to believe in your message. You only need the people you're called to serve. ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ Don't let one negative comment outweigh hundreds of positive ones. ✔️ Be intentional about whose opinions you choose to believe. ✔️ Limiting beliefs often begin with a single experience or conversation. ✔️ Sometimes criticism says more about the other person than it does about you. ✔️ The strongest personal brands aren't built by pleasing everyone—they're built through conviction and authenticity. ✔️ The more clearly you communicate your beliefs, the more you'll attract the right people. ✔️ Your adversity can become your greatest opportunity to inspire others. 🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik Website: www.lancecibik.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcibik?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎧 Follow The Lance Cibik Show for practical conversations on maximizing your health, elevating your performance, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity to fuel lasting impact, success, and significance.

    NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH | EPISODE 11

    How do we take our adversity and use it to fuel our purpose? September 2026 is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In this early morning walk-and-talk session, Lance openly discusses a topic that most people don’t really want to talk about: suicide. Lance shares his personal experience of losing his mom to suicide four days before his first birthday and reflects on how he has chosen to use that loss to increase his empathy, genuine care and interest in others, and ultimately fuel his purpose. He challenges us to look beyond what we see on the outside. Someone may look successful on paper—title, income, assets, net worth, family, career—but that doesn't mean they aren't struggling inside. This conversation is about creating awareness, building community and connection, leading with empathy, and paying attention to the things that are within our control.

    MIDLIFE ISN'T A CRISIS. IT'S A REINVENTION. | EPISODE 10

    Just because what served you in the past to get you where you are today doesn't mean it needs to continue to serve you in the future. During this Tuesday morning walk and talk, Lance shares three coaching conversations that all centered around one common theme: reinvention. From a successful annuity wholesaler questioning what's next, to a National Sales Manager navigating a career transition, to a financial advisor discovering that more personal development isn't always better, each conversation points back to the same question: How do you define success? Sometimes success on paper isn't the same as fulfillment. Sometimes the next chapter isn't about climbing another rung on the corporate ladder—it's about creating greater alignment with who you want to become and what you want to be known for. 🎙️ In This Episode 🔄 Why Lance believes midlife is a reinvention, not a crisis 💼 Why success by title, income, assets, and net worth doesn't always create fulfillment 🎯 Asking yourself, "What does success actually mean to me?" 🧠 Why even high performers need someone outside their inner circle to help sort through the chaos ☮️ How the never-ending pursuit of more can keep you from experiencing peace and contentment 📖 Why minimizing future regret starts with defining who you want to become and what you want to be known for 💡 My Challenge to You: Ask yourself: How do you define success? Are you chasing more because it's what you've always done... Or is it time to hit the reset button? What served you in the past... Still serving you today? Or is it time for your own midlife reinvention? ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ Just because something served you in the past doesn't mean it needs to continue serving you in the future. ✔️ Midlife can become a season of reinvention instead of a crisis. ✔️ Success is about more than titles, income, assets, and net worth. ✔️ Define what success means to you—not what everyone else says it should be. ✔️ Create alignment between who you are today and who you want to become. ✔️ Minimize future regret by making intentional decisions today. 🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik 🌐 Website: lancecibik.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcibik?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios 📧 Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎙️ Follow The Lance Cibik Show for practical conversations on maximizing your health, elevating your performance, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity as fuel for purpose, impact, and lasting success.

    WHY ARE YOU SO AVAILABLE? | EPISODE 8

    The Hidden Cost of Being Readily Available and Accessible Why are you making yourself readily available and accessible at a moment's notice? It's a simple question I asked multiple coaching clients this week, and it led to powerful conversations about boundaries, stress, family, and what it really means to maximize your opportunity. Just because being available helped you build your career doesn't mean it needs to continue to serve you today. As your responsibilities grow, your priorities have to change. 🎙️ In This Episode 📱 Why constantly responding to emails, texts, and phone calls can create stress, anxiety, and misalignment. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How always being "on" can keep you from being fully present with your spouse, your kids, and the people who matter most. ⚖️ Just because something served you in the past doesn't mean it should continue to serve you today. 👨‍⚕️ The doctor analogy and why highly successful professionals aren't always immediately available. 👥 Why delegating responsibilities allows you to focus on the things only you are uniquely qualified to do. 🏡 How creating healthy boundaries gives you more time to maximize your health, prepare healthy meals, exercise, read, spend time with family, and be present for the moments that matter most. 💡 Questions to Reflect On • Where are you making yourself too available? • Where are you making yourself too accessible? • Are you protecting your time and energy, or giving them away? • What would change if you created healthier boundaries? • Are you fully present where it matters most? ⭐ Key Takeaways ✔️ Just because something served you in the past doesn't mean it should continue to serve you today. ✔️ Focus on what you're uniquely qualified to do. ✔️ Delegate what others are capable of doing. ✔️ Create healthy boundaries. ✔️ Maximize your health so you can maximize your opportunity. ✔️ Be fully present with the people who matter most. 🌐 Connect With Lance Cibik 🌍 Website: https://lancecibik.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcibik?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios 📧 Email: info@lancecibik.com 🎧 Follow The Lance Cibik Show for conversations on maximizing your health, commanding attention, reconnecting to your purpose, and using adversity as fuel for purpose, impact, and success. ⭐ Remember: Adversity doesn't have to keep you stuck.
