    TEDM – AI, Productivity, and the Next Wave of Entrepreneur Opportunity with Jim Beach (Episode 236)

    In this episode, entrepreneur and radio host Jim Beach joins Patrick to challenge the usual “doom and blame” tone of climate and environmental conversations. Jim argues that real progress comes from capitalists and small businesses that build practical, profitable solutions. Instead of waiting for government or NGOs to fix complex problems, he believes entrepreneurs can reduce risk, start small, and solve issues one step at a time. Jim shares the origin story behind his book, The Real Environmentalists, inspired by Wayne Elliott, a hands-on ship and battery recycling leader. That relationship sparked a deeper search into for profit environmental companies that are actively tackling problems like microplastics, clean water, and reef restoration. Jim’s central message is optimistic: solutions are already being built by people who work daily in the real world, not by those performing for attention. The conversation also explores what separates dreamers from doers. Jim and Patrick discuss motivation, the “chip on the shoulder,” and why most people never execute even when the path is clear. Jim emphasizes bootstrapping, testing a business under $5,000, and proving the model before scaling. He also critiques traditional education and argues that individualized learning and practical skill building matter more than theory. Finally, they unpack AI and productivity. Jim sees AI as an economic opportunity that can create jobs and accelerate output, while still requiring human guidance and critical thinking. The episode ends with Jim’s call to action: get off the sofa, reduce risk, build something real, and leave the world cleaner than you found it.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #218 - Why Smart People Stay Stuck (Your Brain is the Problem)

    In this powerful episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany kick off the new year with a deep conversation about why so many people feel stuck and why real change rarely comes from external circumstances. It is not the economy, politics, or lack of motivation holding most people back. It is the hidden programming in the brain that filters reality and blocks opportunity. Patrick explains how the Reticular Activating System, often called the RAS, works like an internal airport control tower, choosing what gets seen, noticed, or completely erased before it reaches conscious awareness. Together, Patrick and Steffany explore how this mental filter is driven by identity, hidden beliefs, and emotional safety. They unpack the importance of upgrading your personal “Operating System of Identity” so your RAS stops filtering life from fear and limitation, and starts recognizing opportunity, possibility, and growth. Listeners are guided into the deeper role of meta values, agency, and personal responsibility. Instead of letting emotions like fear or comfort dictate decisions, Patrick and Steffany show how anchoring to higher values such as truth, ownership, accountability, and integrity can expand perspective and reduce paralysis. They also stress the power of trusted counsel, clean feedback, and community support to challenge blind spots without attacking identity. Finally, they reinforce one of the most life changing truths. Clarity does not come first. Action does. When you move, your RAS updates, your confidence builds, and your brain realigns toward possibility and progress. This episode is a powerful invitation to step into the new year with courage, self awareness, upgraded identity, and intentional action. It is a must listen for anyone ready to stop feeling stuck and finally create meaningful forward momentum in life, relationships, business, and personal growth.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #217 - The Secret Operating System Running Your Life

    In this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany take listeners deep into the foundation of personal growth by exploring hidden beliefs and the operating system of identity that shapes how we see ourselves. They unpack how early childhood experiences, attachment, and perceived safety influence adult self concept, resilience, and self esteem. Drawing on research and decades of coaching experience, they help listeners understand how deeply rooted beliefs about safety, love, worth, and effort silently drive behavior and limit potential. Patrick reflects on empirical studies showing that childhood environments strongly predict adult identity patterns, while Steffany offers practical insight into how automatic negative thoughts can become mental “ants” that sabotage performance and peace. Together, they explore the transformational power of self examination and self mastery, emphasizing that identity is not fixed but chosen. Through personal stories, coaching examples, and their signature blend of humor and honesty, they reveal how identity, relationships, values, trauma, and self belief interact to create a person’s operating system. They encourage listeners to challenge inherited beliefs, choose new role models, and update old mental software that no longer serves them. The episode also highlights the importance of authenticity, consistency of values, and the courage to grow even when it disrupts old patterns. At its core, this conversation is a reminder that real happiness and meaningful change start from within. The journey of self mastery is ongoing, intentional, and available to anyone willing to examine their beliefs and consciously choose who they want to become.

    TEDM – Menopause Explained for Men and Women: Hormones, HRT and Midlife Health with Debra Atkinson (Episode 235)

    In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire, host Patrick Francey sits down with Debra Atkinson, exercise physiologist and founder of Flipping 50, to reframe menopause as the gateway to a stronger, more powerful second half of life. Debra explains that for decades, most exercise and sports medicine research was done on men, leaving women in perimenopause and menopause to “fly blind” when it comes to what actually works for their changing hormones, bones and muscles. Flipping Fifty+1 Debra breaks down the menopause transition in clear, practical language. She defines menopause as a single point in time, 12 months after a woman’s last period, and outlines how perimenopause can last up to 11 years with fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and rising cortisol. These shifts drive common symptoms like weight gain, belly fat, insomnia, brain fog, low libido and joint pain, and can dramatically affect mood and identity. The conversation dives into strength training for women over 40, why only about 20 percent of adults lift weights at least twice a week, and how building and preserving muscle is the single biggest lever for better blood sugar, bone density and long term independence. Debra also highlights the importance of early bone density testing, plus smart supplementation with vitamin D3 with K2, magnesium, omega 3s and creatine to support muscle, bone and brain health. World Osteoporosis Day+2Flipping Fifty+2 Patrick and Debra explore the emotional side of aging, the guilt many women feel about prioritizing themselves, and how men can better support the women they love by approaching menopause with curiosity instead of fear. Debra closes by sharing her own leap at 49 to start Flipping 50 and her core message that it is never too late to get stronger, feel better and change the way you age. This episode is essential listening for midlife women, the men who love them, and anyone who wants to stay strong, sharp and vibrant as the years go by.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #216 - Childhood Money Messages That Still Influence You

    In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany take listeners deep into the real reason most people struggle with money. It is not math. It is not budgeting. It is not the economy. It is the hidden beliefs about money that were shaped long before adulthood. Many of these patterns were installed through childhood experiences, family dynamics, culture, scarcity, trauma, and early emotional imprinting. Patrick and Steffany explore how every person carries a “money operating system” that unconsciously drives financial behavior. Whether it is fear, tension, guilt, pressure, or discomfort with wealth, these internal patterns influence income ceilings, financial sabotage, overspending, risk avoidance, or the inability to hold on to money. Through personal stories, childhood memories, coaching experiences, and research, they reveal how beliefs like “rich people are greedy,” “money is hard to make,” or “I will be judged if I want wealth” can quietly limit financial possibility. Steffany shares her perspective that money is energy, flow, and exchange, while Patrick opens up about how his upbringing shaped a sense of responsibility and tension around finances. Together they offer listeners three simple prompts to uncover their own money beliefs and begin to rewrite their financial operating system. This episode empowers listeners to examine what they were taught, question inherited limitations, and step into a healthier, more abundant relationship with money. Packed with insight, grounded storytelling, and practical tools, this episode is essential for anyone ready to improve their financial life by upgrading the mindset that drives it.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #215 - Why You Get Triggered and How to Change the Story

    In this Mindset Matters conversation, Patrick and Steffany explore one of the most misunderstood emotional patterns people face daily. They unpack the real reason we get triggered and why the trigger is rarely the event itself. Instead, it is the story we attach to the moment that activates our nervous system and sends us into reactivity. With honesty, humour and real life examples, they dive into the hidden beliefs and identity based narratives that sit beneath the surface and shape how we respond. Patrick opens with a playful question about whether he triggers Steffany, which leads into a deep discussion about what actually activates our stress responses. They explore how tone of voice, bureaucracy, expectations, old identity wounds and subconscious beliefs like I am not enough or I have to get this right can all intensify the reaction. They also highlight how triggers often clash with meta values like freedom, security or integrity, creating emotional friction that feels bigger than the moment. Together, they offer practical insights for how to pause, breathe and interrupt old patterns. Rather than blaming the person or circumstance, they emphasize the importance of asking What is the story I told myself in that moment. They share personal anecdotes, including Patrick’s well known airport frustrations and a humorous look at “Prince Patrick,” to help listeners see that awareness dissolves emotional charge. This episode is a powerful look at emotional responsibility, self awareness and the freedom that comes from understanding your inner world. It teaches listeners how to stay grounded, reduce reactive behaviour and create healthier relationships by owning their responses with clarity and compassion.

    TEDM – Nick Jonsson – Men, Leadership and Mental Health: A Candid Conversation with Nick Jonsson (Episode 234)

    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Patrick sits down with Nick Jonsson, a global keynote speaker, international bestselling author, and leading authority on executive loneliness. Nick’s work centers on dismantling the silent struggles many high achieving leaders face, including isolation, burnout, addiction, and the heavy emotional toll that comes with relentless performance. Nick shares how his holistic leadership framework was born from his own lived experience. After climbing the corporate ladder across Asia and overseeing large teams, he found himself burnt out, anxious, and ultimately at rock bottom. His recovery prompted a transformation that now fuels the work he does with leaders today. Through a five part model of surrender, connection, purpose, goals, and discipline, Nick helps clients build resilience, restore balance, and reclaim their lives with clarity and intention. Patrick and Nick explore the concept of success beyond titles and revenue, challenging listeners to consider whether they are living the vision they have for their life. They discuss the importance of community, peer support, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. Nick also speaks candidly about sobriety, accountability, hidden beliefs, relationship dynamics, and why leaders must learn to ask for help before everything unravels. This episode is a reminder that leadership is not just a professional identity. It is a human journey that requires honesty, humility, and courage. Whether you’re a CEO, an entrepreneur, or someone striving for a more aligned life, Nick’s insights offer both practical direction and deeply meaningful perspective.

    Mindset Matters - Episode #214 - Why Critical Thinking Is Disappearing and How to Get It Back

    In this thought provoking episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany unpack a powerful rant by journalist and influencer Jasmine Lane about the loss of critical thinking in today’s polarized world. Jasmine’s message sparked a deep conversation about how society has shifted into extremes, where nuanced discussion has been replaced with instant outrage, judgment, and fear based reactions. Patrick and Steffany explore why so many people feel unsafe expressing their opinions, and how this cultural shift is shaping relationships, workplaces, families, and personal identity. Drawing from their work in mindset, performance psychology, and human behavior, they examine the rise of divisiveness, the collapse of civil debate, and the mental toll that comes from living in a climate where people feel forced to silence themselves. They speak openly about values, integrity, generational differences, political tension, and how fear has contributed to anger, anxiety, and emotional burnout. The conversation shifts toward practical insight as they look at how individuals can manage this cultural chaos. They discuss the importance of clearing mental clutter, staying grounded in personal values, speaking truth without hostility, and finding safe spaces to think, question, and express ideas. Patrick and Steffany also highlight how living out of alignment with one’s values creates stress, resentment, and even physical symptoms. This episode encourages listeners to rise above the noise, elevate their mindset, and reconnect with curiosity instead of conflict. It is a timely reminder that the ability to think clearly, hold two ideas at the same time, and stay true to personal values is essential for emotional resilience and healthy relationships in a fast changing world.
