And it does not mean losing yourself to save everyone else. In this powerful conversation, Ben Albert sits down with Shabana Serang, also known as The Mercy Queen, to talk about mercy, self-worth, faith, forgiveness, mental health, human connection, and the deeper work of healing yourself while still serving others. Shabana shares why mercy belongs to all of us, but also why mercy has to start with the self. She opens up about bullying, depression, self-love, spirituality, food, family, and the mission behind Mercy Mindset, Miracles 4 Mercy, Mercy Mediterranean, Luna’s Halal Taqueria, and her upcoming book, Love Me First, Love Me Last. Ben and Shabana also explore how food can become a vehicle for service, how small daily acts of kindness can create real human connection, and why being seen, heard, respected, and valued can change someone’s life. This episode is about mercy without self-abandonment, compassion without losing your dignity, and growth that starts with remembering your own value.

It can become a way to break bread, build connection, and serve a bigger mission. ~Shabana Serang • “The more you give, the more you will always receive because it is the inevitable reward for goodness.” ~Shabana Serang • “You say you're just a meager soul, but within you lies the keys to the universe.” ~Shabana Serang Keep In Touch with Shabana Serang: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMercyQueen/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shabanamarkar/ Mercy Mindset: https://mercymindset.com/about/ Miracles 4 Mercy: https://miracles4mercy.com/ Mercy Mediterranean: https://mercymediterranean.com/ Luna’s Halal Taqueria: https://www.lunashalaltaqueria.com/ — Follow Balbert… Facebook: www.facebook.com/realbusinessconnections Instagram: www.instagram.com/realbenalbert/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realbenalbert/ Website:  https://www.realbusinessconnections.com/ – LST is made possible by www://balbertmarketing.com/ - This feed is JUST LEARN SPEAK TEACH EPISODES.

    Learn Speak Teach Episode #160 with Michael Ceely. Business is a sport, and if you want to perform at a higher level, you have to train like a business athlete. In this episode, Ben Albert sits down with Michael Ceely, licensed psychotherapist, cognitive behavioral therapist, and executive coach, to talk about pressure, performance, leadership, and what it really takes to thrive without burning yourself out. Michael shares what racing against Lance Armstrong taught him about extra gears, why your morning routine matters more than you think, and how leaders can stop making fight-or-flight decisions in business. He also breaks down the difference between coaching and therapy, the power of authoritative leadership, and how belief systems quietly shape the way we lead, work, and grow. Ben and Michael also dive into Michael’s upcoming book, The Only Way Is Up, inspired by the rock climber who helped save his life, and how that moment became a powerful metaphor for business, courage, and playing to win. If you want to thrive in your career without being stressed out all the time, this episode will help you rethink pressure, performance, and what it means to lead from a stronger place.

    How to Scale Solo Without Burning Out w/ Pia Silva (LST #159)

    Learn Speak Teach Episode #159 with Pia Silva. Scaling does not have to mean hiring a team, building a big agency, or burning yourself out trying to serve everyone. In this episode, Ben Albert sits down with Pia Silva, entrepreneur, author of Badass Your Brand and Scale Solo, host of The No BS Agency Podcast, and founder of No BS Mastery. Pia helps expert-led service providers build profitable businesses that stay small on purpose. Her approach challenges the common “scale or fail” advice and gives consultants, strategists, designers, coaches, and agency owners a simpler path to more profit, more freedom, and less BS. In this conversation, Pia breaks down how to scale solo without burning out, why your clients probably do not want your proposal either, and how to get paid before you ever pitch the full project. She also explains her Lead Product Method, why premium clients want speed and clarity, and how to compete when AI is free and fast. Ben and Pia also workshop real examples around podcast production, retainers, recurring revenue, authority content, and how service providers can package their expertise into clear, high-value offers. If you sell your expertise and want a business that gives you more freedom instead of more complexity, this episode is a must-listen. Timestamps: [00:00] Trailer and Intro [01:12] Why everyone keeps talking about Pia [02:59] What makes Pia Silva different [03:37] More impact with less energy [05:08] Can you scale solo and still have big impact? [07:28] Ben’s story about impact through business [09:29] What Scale Solo is really about [10:53] The 50-25-25 rule [13:05] Why experts struggle to charge [18:43] Replacing free calls with a lead product [22:54] Why clients don’t want proposals [24:13] The problem with retainers [27:16] Thinking annually like a CEO [30:21] Can you have recurring revenue and scale solo? [32:44] Compressing projects into two days [36:20] Scale Solo and intensive delivery [38:01] How AI changes expert services [40:38] Trust, authority, and AI noise [44:17] Why relationships still win [48:25] Where to find Pia’s book Key Takeaways:   • You can scale solo, but the business has to be designed around profit, freedom, and fewer moving pieces. ~Pia Silva • “You must make all of the revenue you need in maximum 50% of your working hours or less.” ~Pia Silva • Experts often struggle to charge for what feels easy to them, but clients are paying for the process, confidence, leadership, and clarity behind the work. ~Pia Silva • A lead product builds trust before the pitch because the client pays for the strategy instead of receiving a free proposal they may not value. ~Pia Silva • “When we think monthly, we’re thinking like employees. And when we think annually, we’re thinking like CEOs.” ~Pia Silva • AI can speed up expert services, but premium clients still pay for discernment, curation, confidence, and human strategy. ~Pia Silva Keep In Touch with Pia Silva: Website: https://www.piasilva.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pialovesyourbiz Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/badassyourbrand/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pia-silva-86b2723/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B06XHL8F3G YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@pialovesyourbiz/videos People Mentioned and Other Resources: Scale Solo Book: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B06XHL8F3G No BS Mastery: https://www.piasilva.com/ Badass Your Brand: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B06XHL8F3G The No BS Agency Podcast: https://www.piasilva.com/ — Follow Balbert… Facebook: www.facebook.com/realbusinessconnections Instagram: www.instagram.com/realbenalbert/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realbenalbert/ Website:  https://www.realbusinessconnections.com/ – LST is made possible by www://balbertmarketing.com/ - This feed is JUST LEARN SPEAK TEACH EPISODES.

    Learn Speak Teach Episode #158 with Lilian Riad-Allen. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. Not because something is wrong with you, but because loneliness is not always about proximity. It is about belonging, connection, and whether you feel truly seen in the moment you are living. In this episode, Ben Albert sits down with Lilian Riad-Allen, host of Lil on Life Pod, People & Culture executive, behavioural neuroscientist, and ICF-certified coach, for a grounded conversation about loneliness, life transitions, authenticity, and what it really means to live a life well lived. Lilian shares why so many successful people still feel disconnected, how social media can become a substitute for real connection, and why journaling, music, nature, and small moments of presence can help us come back to ourselves. She also opens up about grief, immigration, embracing her “corporate hippie” side, and learning to be her own cup of tea. Together, Ben and Lilian explore how to stop outsourcing validation, build deeper connection, and create a life that feels meaningful in the everyday moments, not just the big milestones.

You can be surrounded by people and still feel alone when you do not feel connected. ~Lilian Riad-Allen • Isolation is being alone when it is not your choice. Solitude is intentionally spending time with yourself. ~Lilian Riad-Allen • Journaling does not have to mean writing in a notebook. It can happen through music, playlists, reflection, and paying attention to your body. ~Lilian Riad-Allen • A life well lived is built through authenticity, connection, presence, vulnerability, and the courage to ask for help. ~Lilian Riad-Allen • “We’re not actually meant to evolve, to do things on our own.” ~Lilian Riad-Allen • “You don’t have to be everybody’s cup of tea. I’m not, and that’s okay. I’m my own cup of tea and that’s what matters.” ~Lilian Riad-Allen • If your best day feels too big or far away, start with one small step or one millimeter of movement toward it. ~Lilian Riad-Allen Keep In Touch with Lilian Riad-Allen: Website: https://lilonlife.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LilonLifePodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lilonlifepod/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilian-riad-allen-6997a011/ Life Transition Compass App: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/life-transition-compass/id6760262141 Email: lilonlifepod@gmail.com — Follow Balbert… Facebook: www.facebook.com/realbusinessconnections Instagram: www.instagram.com/realbenalbert/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realbenalbert/ Website:  https://www.realbusinessconnections.com/ – LST is made possible by www://balbertmarketing.com/ - This feed is JUST LEARN SPEAK TEACH EPISODES.
