    Garrett Gunderson Explains How To Heal Your Relationship With Money

    3 Takeaways from my conversation with Garrett Gunderson, Wealth Liberation Expert: 1. Heal your relationship with money first. Scarcity mindset is inherited. Abundance is a choice. You can't build wealth while fighting the tool that creates it. 2. You are your greatest asset. Stop shrinking. Invest in yourself, your team, your coaches. No one ever saved their way to wealth. 3. Mentoring + coaching + systems + accountability = accelerated results. Pick one. Start today.   --- Garrett Gunderson has been jokingly called Money Jesus, not only because of the hair and beard, but because he has a rare gift for liberating people from the myths that quietly harm their relationship with money. For decades, he has helped entrepreneurs question the stories they were told about hustle, sacrifice, and delay, and replace them with something more honest and sustainable. Garrett is the author of ten books, including multiple Wall Street Journal bestsellers, with Killing Sacred Cows reaching number one and making the New York Times Best Sellers list. His work is about restoring clarity, freedom, and creating a life that actually feels worth living, one that you don't want to retire from. Oh, and to make money more fun and easy, he even filmed a comedy special you can find on Amazon Prime called The American Ream.

    Michael Weinberger Explains How To Make AI Work For Your Business

    3 Takeaways from my AI conversation with Michael Weinberger, CEO of Proactive Technology Management: 1. Fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Don't buy AI tools before you understand your pain points. Go slow to go fast. 2. AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement. Elevate your people. Move them from $10/hour work to $50/hour work. That's the real ROI. 3. Start meta-prompting today. Don't just ask AI questions — ask AI how to ask better questions. That's where the real power is.   --- For over 20 years, Michael Weinberger has helped small and mid-sized businesses transform technology into a growth engine. As a seasoned strategist and software architect, Michael specializes in designing and implementing custom solutions that address the unique challenges SMBs face—whether in legal, healthcare, finance, or operations.

Michael doesn't just build systems, he aligns technology with strategic objectives to deliver measurable results. From streamlining workflows to scaling operations, he focuses on outcomes that matter: efficiency, clarity, and growth.

    Justin Hai Explains Why Better Recovery Leads To Better Performance

    Everyone is tired. But not everyone is resting. 3 takeaways from my conversation with CEO Justin Hai on stress, sleep, and performance: 1. Protect your sleep like it's your business. If you're not sleeping, you're not recovering, thinking clearly, or performing at your best. 2. Put the phone down. Every buzz keeps your body in stress mode. Step away → think better → respond smarter. 3. Small resets beat constant grind. A 15-minute walk without your phone can change your entire day. Most people don't need more time. They need better recovery. THINK BIG!   --- Justin Hai is a serial entrepreneur, product designer, and innovator whose career spans health, wellness, biotechnology, and skincare. He has co-founded multiple award-winning companies, including Alastin Skincare, GLO Pharmaceuticals, and Rebalance Health. Justin's interest in hormone health, especially the overlooked role of cortisol, began with a desire to understand how modern stress impacts the body. That search led to the founding of Rebalance Health, focused on science-backed solutions to help people reclaim their health. When his wife later faced a complex hormone-related condition that conventional medicine couldn't resolve, the mission became personal. Today, his work is fueled by a commitment to help others find clarity, calm, and joy. With a degree in Industrial Design from RISD and an MBA from Pepperdine, Justin blends creative vision with business strategy. He has contributed to NASA projects, presented cleantech to the Pentagon, and holds multiple U.S. patents and trademarks. His innovations have earned recognition from InStyle, Forbes, Oprah, NewBeauty, Best in Biz, and NASA. Through his ventures and now through his writing, Justin continues to challenge the status quo by building products and stories that help people feel better from the inside out.

    Lawyers Don't Sell Expertise They Sell Trust with Marty Frenkel

    3 Takeaways from my conversation with Marty Frankel Co-Chair, Financial Services & Real Property Litigation Group, Executive Committee Member, Maddin Hauser 1. Lawyers sell trust — not expertise. Competence is the baseline. What clients really need is someone on their team who owns their problem with urgency. 2. Find the issue behind the issue. Ask questions. Build rapport. What someone walks in with is rarely what's really keeping them up at night. 3. Delay gratification. Plan long. Reverse engineer from three years out. That's not just career advice — that's a life strategy.   --- MARTIN ("Marty") S. FRENKEL, shareholder and executive committee member, is a multidisciplinary problem solver who consistently delivers sound, pragmatic business counsel and instills in his clients the confidence that comes from knowing that he always has their back. Whether it is the end-to-end, compliance-to-courtroom representation and advocacy he provides mortgage, financial services, and construction companies or the myriad ways he helps clients from a wide range of other industries steer clear of risk and achieve their goals, Marty charts the course that gets his clients where they want to go. Co-Chair of Maddin Hauser's Financial Services and Real Property Litigation and Surety and Construction groups, Marty has established himself as one of Michigan's most accomplished and versatile attorneys. His ability to holistically address the full spectrum of day-to-day and long-term issues faced by small business owners and large institutions alike is why he is often retained to serve as their outside general counsel or as an adjunct to their in-house legal teams. Recognizing that the best attorney-client relationships are built on a foundation of both trust and collaboration, Marty works seamlessly with his clients to understand the problems behind the problems by actively listening to what they say, as well as what they don't. Marty focuses his practice on real estate and financial services risk management, litigation, and regulatory compliance, including matters involving mortgage, banking, construction, real estate development, landlord/tenant, and title-related issues. For mortgage industry clients, Marty brings a 360-degree perspective to his work, a product of his extensive participation in high-level mortgage regulatory compliance matters, the negotiation and drafting of core documentation and business agreements, and hundreds of loan-level mortgage litigation disputes. This full-spectrum experience allows him to serve his financial services clients efficiently, cost-effectively, and with minimized risk while navigating the myriad mortgage origination and servicing processes that are always subject to changing laws, regulations, and market conditions. While Marty possesses unmatched been-there, seen-that insights, he is acutely aware that past experience alone is no guarantee of future success. That is why he prioritizes agile, forward-looking thinking and stays ahead of the ever-evolving legal and economic landscapes in which his clients do business. Marty has forged close bonds with his clients and has earned the respect of his peers, who consistently recognize him for his professionalism and accomplishments. Among his expansive collection of accolades, Marty has been included on the list of the Best Lawyers in America multiple times and has been recognized as a Michigan Leading Lawyer in Real Estate Law: Commercial and Finance every year since 2016. He was named a "Go To" Lawyer in Construction Law by Michigan Lawyers Weekly in 2023 and 2025, and was also included in the magazine's 2022 class of Leaders in the Law, an honor awarded to accomplished individuals who set the standard through a commitment to excellence in the practice of law."

    We're in the Golden Age of Learning with Bernadette Burke

    3 Takeaways from my conversation with Bernadette Burke, CEO of Brella Productions: 1. We're in the golden age of learning. Everyone learns differently. The tools finally exist to meet people where they are. Use them. 2. Know the outcome before you design the training. What do you want people to DO differently? Start there. Everything else follows. 3. Quantify the cost of failure. One lost sale. One bad customer experience. One slow onboard. Do the math — then invest in training.   --- Bernadette Burke is the President and Co-founder of Brella Productions, an event optimization agency dedicated to guiding business leaders through complex corporate event challenges. As Brella's Chief Learning Strategist, Bernadette has helped business leaders achieve their organization's learning and professional development goals for more than 30 years. She leverages her background in digital media production, instructional design and years of organizational development experience to create transformative, immersive learning experiences. Her current focus is on optimizing audience engagement for in-person, hybrid, and virtual events from national sales meetings to onboardings to leadership training. Borning training that isn't goal driven is a waste of corporate resources and employee time. She wants to make the business world more functional through better communication and professional development. Bernadette is a graduate of Northwestern's School of Communication. She has been on multiple local charitable boards. She has presented at Training Magazine conferences and webinars on a variety of topics around driving learner engagement."
