    #120 | Beyond the Dunks w/ Dylan Haugen

    In this episode of Encourage Mindset, Ethan Van De Hey sits down with Dylan Haugen, an 18-year-old professional dunker, content creator, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Local Service Spotlight. Dylan shares the story behind his rise in the dunking world, from watching Michael Jordan videos as a kid and practicing on low rims to competing in the DunkMan League alongside some of the best dunkers in the world. Dylan talks about what it’s like performing in front of thousands of people, competing against athletes like three-time NBA Dunk Contest champion Mac McClung, and handling the pressure that comes with performing at the highest level. His approach is simple: trust the work you’ve put in, focus on the process, and treat big moments like something you’ve already experienced. The conversation goes beyond basketball and dunking. Dylan explains how his passion for dunking eventually led him into content creation, podcasting, digital marketing, and personal branding. What started without a clear plan slowly became a collection of skills that are now helping him build his own brand while also helping other athletes and local businesses. Dylan also shares how he helped create the Minnesota Dunk Squad, why surrounding yourself with people who share your passion can accelerate your growth, and why he believes there are always new things to learn when you stay curious and keep trying new things. One of the biggest themes throughout the episode is helping the good guys win. Dylan explains how he and Dennis Yu use AI, marketing, content, and personal branding to amplify real experiences rather than fake them. Whether it’s an athlete trying to build a career or a local business trying to grow, the goal is the same: take something real and help more people see it. Dylan also talks about setbacks, injuries, staying focused when success suddenly brings attention, using AI to manage opportunities, and why your current level doesn’t have to define where you eventually end up. At just 18 years old, he understands that he is only at the beginning of his journey. This episode is a reminder that you don’t always need to know exactly where your path is going. Sometimes you just need to find something you love, work at it consistently, surround yourself with the right people, and keep learning. The things you’re doing today may become the skills that open doors for you tomorrow. What are you waiting for? There is NEVER a right time to make a positive change in your life. Stay disciplined, pursue what you’re passionate about, keep learning, and use your talents to help others. Keep getting better, stay humble, and always look for ways to help the good guys win.

    #119 | Choose Integrity w/ Shelby Palmer

    In this episode of Encourage Mindset, Ethan sits down with Shelby Palmer, founder of FixDoor in Marble Falls, Texas. Business owners and anyone looking to start a business, this episode is made for you. Shelby shares simple but powerful ideas about what it really means to take care of people and build a business the right way. His philosophy is straightforward: listen, care, be honest, and do what is right for the customer. The conversation goes into why honesty matters more than making a quick dollar. Shelby talks about being willing to tell a customer they do not need something instead of selling them something just to make money. He explains how genuinely caring about people and telling them the truth can build a level of trust that money cannot buy. Shelby also talks about the importance of being involved in your community, staying humble, and treating people with respect. He believes that being a business owner is not about putting yourself above everyone else. It is about serving the people around you and making sure your employees know they are valued and cared about. This episode is a reminder that great businesses do not always need complicated strategies. Sometimes the best approach is the simplest one: really listen, really care, tell the truth, and put people before profit. What are you waiting for? There is NEVER a right time to make a positive change in your life. Stay disciplined, keep growing, and focus on becoming the best version of yourself. Do the right thing, take care of people, and never let money become more important than your character.

    #118 | Don't Be A Crab In The Bucket w/ Karel Stoy

    In this episode of Encourage Mindset, Ethan sits down with Karel Stoy, founder of Stoy Media, a performance marketing company. Karel started his first agency at 16 with no overhead and a simple mindset: just try it. He shares what it felt like to bet everything on his business when the only plan was "this works or I go homeless," and how that pressure eventually gave way to a calmer, faith-rooted confidence. The conversation goes deep on the stuff that actually drives a person, not the Ferrari-and-big-house version of why. Karel explains that he simply loves the work itself, comparing it to the gym: you do not always enjoy it in the moment, but you are grateful you showed up. He works six days a week, keeps Sunday for church, and credits his relationship with God as the foundation of his mindset. Both Karel and Ethan dig into a hard truth they have heard from wealthy, successful people over and over: money, fame, and power do not fill the hole, and chasing them as your purpose leaves you empty. From there they get into the real-life skills nobody teaches you: how hard it is to make genuine friends in your 20s, why you have to rip off the Band-Aid and put yourself in uncomfortable situations, and how being bold and receptive opens doors most people never walk through. Karel introduces the crabs-in-a-bucket mindset, where the people around you try to drag you back down the moment you try to climb out, and why protecting your inner circle matters so much. They also cover haters and doubt, the danger of social media as a personal time-sink versus a business tool, patience on your own path, and Karel's tactic for beating laziness: stack small hard things like cold showers and the gym until doing hard things becomes normal. The episode closes on faith as the answer that quiets most mindset questions, and a reminder that being open about what you believe tends to draw people in rather than push them away. What are you waiting for? There is NEVER a right time to make a positive change in your life. Stay disciplined, keep growing, and focus on becoming the best version of yourself. Don’t allow fear or failure to stop you from moving forward. Speakers: Ethan Van De Hey and Karel Stoy Want to talk or have episode suggestions? Email: vandeheyethan@outlook.com
