    Business of Expansion: How to Grow as a Conscious Entrepreneur with Hale Schneider | Naked Sunday Episode 174

    Can you grow a profitable business without sacrificing your values, authenticity, or integrity? In Episode 174 of Naked Sunday, Caleb Nelson sits down with Hale Schneider, conscious marketing strategist, entrepreneur, and host of The Business of Expansion, to explore the intersection of spirituality, entrepreneurship, and business growth. After years working in the fast-paced tech startup world, Hale found himself on a personal journey of spiritual exploration. Eventually, he brought those two worlds together, helping conscious entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners expand their impact through marketing that aligns with their values. Together, we explore what it means to build a purpose-driven business without relying on manipulation, artificial urgency, or traditional hustle culture. **In this episode, we discuss:** - (1:55) Who Hale is and what "expansion of consciousness" means - (4:17) Why "Who am I?" is a question that keeps unfolding - (5:17) How Hale transitioned from tech startups to conscious entrepreneurship - (8:06) Getting fired and going all in on conscious marketing - (12:46) The ayahuasca journey and spiritual exploration - (17:30) Why integrating transformational experiences matters - (18:18) The non-dual experience and the illusion of separation - (21:49) Why ethical marketing and profitability can coexist - (22:11) The difference between authentic marketing and manipulative sales tactics - (27:43) How podcasts create meaningful relationships and opportunities - (30:33) The growing importance of community and human connection in business - (40:04) Three fun questions begin - (43:48) Why spiritual alignment alone isn't enough without practical business systems - (58:30) The deathbed meal question and who holds your hand - (1:05:19) Final words of wisdom Whether you're a coach, consultant, spiritual entrepreneur, or business owner looking to grow with greater authenticity, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on creating meaningful impact while building a sustainable business.

    Live Well, Earn Well: Build a Life and Business You Love with Dr. Terri Levine | Naked Sunday Podcast - Episode 173

    What if the secret to earning more wasn't working more, but living better? In Episode 173 of the Naked Sunday Podcast, Caleb Nelson sits down with Dr. Terri Levine, business coach, consultant, author, and entrepreneur, for a conversation about building a successful business without sacrificing the life you're supposedly building it for. After losing her mother and then a close friend just seven days later, Terri received a wake-up call that changed the direction of her life: "Don't spend your whole life working. Spend your life living." Terri stopped making work the center of her life. She prioritized her marriage, health, relationships, spiritual practices, hobbies, and the things that made life worth living. And something unexpected happened. Her business became more successful. Caleb and Terri explore why sustainable success starts with knowing yourself, how trust creates the safety to take risks, why relationships matter more than tactics, and how the internal work we avoid often becomes the foundation for everything we want to build externally. They also unpack Terri's 47-year marriage, the lesson her husband has taught her about patience, why copying someone else's business strategy rarely works, and the danger of chasing "overnight success" without becoming the person capable of sustaining it. In this episode: Why living well can actually help you earn wellTerri's wake-up call after losing her mother and close friendLeaving a successful CEO position to build her own businessHow Terri found 30 clients in her first monthWhy relationships come before business strategyThe role trust plays in marriage, business, coaching, and riskWhat 47 years of marriage taught Terri about relationshipsWhy you don't have to agree with someone to love themBuilding a business around who you actually areWhy copying someone else's strategy often doesn't workThe truth behind "overnight success"Self-love, forgiveness, boundaries, and authenticityWhy the hardest personal growth often creates the most freedomThe difference between procrastination and patienceBeing patient enough to become yourselfTerri's daily GID practice: Gratitude, Intention, and Delegation Success doesn't have to require sacrificing your health, marriage, relationships, or peace. You can build a business you love while building a life you actually want to live. And sometimes the best business strategy starts with becoming more of yourself.

    Host Caleb Nelson sits down with author, coach, and 37-year sober veteran Hugh Imhof for a deeply honest conversation about addiction, identity, and what it really takes to transform your life.
