    AI That Actually Works: Jason Gallen on Lenrix, Business Automation, and Human-First AI

    AI is changing fast — but the real advantage is not just using the tool. It is knowing how to train it, guide it, and make it work inside your business. In this episode of Let’s Go Win, JM Ryerson sits down with Jason Gallen to talk about Lenrix, AI enablement, and how custom-trained agents can help businesses save time, improve systems, and create more freedom.

    Clarity Isn’t Certainty: Stacie Shifflett on Reinvention, Joy, and Conscious Living

    What if clarity does not give you certainty — it simply shows you the next step? In this episode of Let’s Go Win, JM Ryerson sits down with Stacie Shifflett, founder of Modern Consciousness and author of Treasure Map to Joy, for a powerful conversation about reinvention, grief, clarity, personal growth, and conscious living. Stacie shares how major life disruptions — including the loss of her infant son, the end of a 28-year marriage, and major career transitions — shaped her perspective on resilience, self-awareness, and joy. She explains why personal growth is not always easy, why emotions are not meant to be judged, and why clarity is only the beginning of change. You’ll also hear how Stacie built and helped acquire a $50 million software company with no upfront cash, why joy is more than an emotion, and how we can become the next best version of ourselves one small step at a time.
