    From Corporate Finance Executive to Consciousness Pioneer: Why Your Success Feels Empty

    Send us a text Imagine having multiple degrees, a thriving corporate career in finance, and all the external markers of success—yet lying awake at night wondering "is this really it?" You've checked every box society told you would bring happiness, but instead of fulfillment, you feel stuck in cycles of overworking, proving your worth through exhaustion, and chasing achievements that never feel enough.  Egle's journey from finance to consciousness work reveals a fascinating pattern: she was good with numbers, ambitious, worked on transformation projects, but kept hitting invisible walls. She felt there was so much more possible, so much faster and easier, but something unseen was holding back progress.  Who is Egle Aleknavičiūtė: Egle Aleknavičiūtė is a wealth and purpose strategist who helps visionary leaders break free from limiting beliefs around money and achievement to build businesses rooted in clarity, alignment, and authentic power. With a background spanning multiple degrees and a thriving corporate career in finance, Egle was the perfect picture of external success—ambitious, good with numbers, working on transformation projects—yet she kept hitting invisible walls that prevented faster, easier progress despite knowing more was possible.  5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Your Subconscious Controls 95% of Your Success (And You're Ignoring It) - Egle reveals that subconscious mind is around 95% of all thoughts and feelings every day, existing beyond logic and strategy.  The External Validation Trap: Stop Performing and Start Embodying Success - The most damaging limiting belief plaguing high performers is external validation. Fear Drives Hard Work But Destroys Long-Term Vision - Egle exposes why so many entrepreneurs work themselves to exhaustion without achieving fulfillment: their hard work is driven by fear, not trust.  Theta Healing: How to Rewire Limiting Beliefs at the Root - Egle's primary method for transformation is Theta Healing, a certified modality that works with the subconscious through meditation and consciousness travel.  Deathbed Regrets and the Made-Up Work Rhythms We Believe - The most sobering reframe Egle offers comes from deathbed research: people interviewed at end of life about biggest regrets never say "I regret time with family, holidays, or social life"—they universally say "I regret I worked so hard."  CONNECT WITH INSPIRED BY SUCCESS Check out our channel and follow us on social media for more leadership, entrepreneurship, personal development, and success stories. 👉 https://linktr.ee/inspiredbysuccess PARTNER OFFERS Manage Your Money Like a Pro Manage your finances like a pro while chasing your entrepreneurial dreams!

    Built Successful Business But Felt Empty at 52 | John Knowlton

    Send us a text John Knowlton's journey from scaling through mergers and acquisitions to creating a revolutionary "shared governance" wealth model destroys the traditional estate planning approach that fails families generation after generation. Instead of keeping wealth secret until death and leaving kids unprepared to handle massive inheritance, John invited his adult children into managing family wealth together right now, creating a family board with mission, vision, values, and committees where his daughter runs philanthropy and they all learn to be stewards while he's alive to guide them.  Who is John Knowlton: John Knowlton is a multi-generational wealth builder, author, and former wealth management CEO who built and sold a billion-dollar business before age 52, then took a year-long sabbatical that completely transformed how he views success and legacy. Starting his career by "stumbling into" wealth management after being rejected for numerous jobs (he was painting apartments to put food on the table), John spent over a decade mastering mergers and acquisitions—learning to buy wealth management firms in chunks rather than building client-by-client. In 2015, he and his partner set an aggressive goal to reach $1 billion in assets under management.  5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Shared Governance Prevents Generational Wealth Destruction - Traditional estate planning documents values in trust documents but fails to transfer the skills and traits that built wealth. John's revolutionary model: kids are technically disinherited (Knowlton Family Trust is beneficiary), but they're invited into managing wealth together NOW while he's alive to guide them.  The Dinner Table is Your Primary Wealth Transfer Mechanism - John and his wife insisted on family meals virtually every day, not to eat food but to communicate and transmit values.  Selfish Thinking Destroys, Other-Focused Thinking Builds - From his jail chaplain work, John saw the pattern: inmates focused entirely on themselves ("I want to be different so I didn't have a job and stole money," "I used crack to do my job and can't understand why they arrested me").  Weekly Meetings Create Trust and Prevent Money Conflict - John and his wife have weekly meetings since before kids: review calendar for next 7 days in detail (who's driving kids where), plan meals (he can tell you what they're eating Friday and who's cooking), discuss money. When money was tighter, they talked about it weekly (bills coming up, money coming in, tithes to pay).  Success is Purpose Fulfillment, Not a Finish Line - John sold at 52 with plenty of money but realized during his year-long sabbatical that work provides three essentials: purpose (something to do), meaning (stewarding something for others), and social contact.  CONNECT WITH JOHN KNOWLTON 📚 Get the book "Thinking for Success" 👉 thinkingforsuccess.com (Sign up for newsletter = free section + 90-second video on how to use with your team) Manage Your Money Like a Pro Manage your finances like a pro while chasing your entrepreneurial dreams!

    He Earned 1.2 Million Points in 9 Months Working in Poverty (Here's His Exact Strategy)

    Send us a text From helping people overcome homelessness and addiction in Pennsylvania's poorest neighborhoods while barely scraping by himself to unlocking 3 million travel rewards points and world travel for his family—Tim Walker's story destroys the myth that meaningful work requires financial sacrifice. Working on the frontlines of poverty alleviation in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Tim found himself perpetually crushed under compassion fatigue with zero resources to get away and recharge. Every year his family had to beg and borrow just to afford basic vacation. Then he discovered travel hacking, earning 1.2 million points in his first nine months alone, turning a $25,000 two-week European anniversary trip into completely free using strategic credit card systems. Now as founder of Travel Multiplier, he teaches others how to leverage points for luxury travel while maintaining their mission without burnout. Who is Tim Walker: Tim Walker is the founder of Travel Multiplier and a lifestyle optimization expert who has mastered the art of combining frontline community impact with strategic travel freedom. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Tim moved to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 2008 where he's spent 14 years working in nonprofit poverty alleviation and community development—living intentionally in the city's poorest neighborhood alongside people in recovery from homelessness, addiction, and incarceration.  5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Your Mission Will Rarely Be Healthier Than You Are - Frontline community development work has massive burnout rates because leaders are always pouring out and never being replenished.  Travel Hacking = Strategic Credit Card Rewards for Free Luxury Travel - Tim earned 3 million points worth approximately $50,000+ in travel value using strategic systems, not luck. Surround Yourself With Peers, Mentors & Counselors - Tim's secret to sustainable impact through 14 years of intense community work: intentional community on three levels. Peers who understand your season of life/family/leadership without explanation. Refuse to Trade More Time for More Money - Tim could have gotten a second job anytime during his 14 years in underpaid community development work, but refused because he knew it would burn him out.  Build Scalable On-Demand Systems That Work While You Sleep - Tim positioned Travel Multiplier as online, on-demand, evergreen content where people can enroll anytime without him showing up live.  CONNECT WITH TIM WALKER 🌐 Travel Multiplier 👉 travelmultiplier.com 📧 Email: tim@travelmultiplier.com Manage Your Money Like a Pro Manage your finances like a pro while chasing your entrepreneurial dreams!

    Ex-Wall Street Insider: Why You're Locked Out of the Best Investments (And His Solution)

    Send us a text Wall Street insider walks away from managing billions for the 1% to build something the industry tried to keep impossible: elite investment strategies for everyday people starting at just $3/month. Justin Kuyper exposes why the accredited investor system keeps you locked out and how he's breaking it wide open. This raw conversation reveals the hidden truth about wealth inequality in investing. Justin shares his journey from working inside top hedge funds and private equity firms—where he had access to data on every major player from Blackstone to KKR—to realizing the investor lists were shockingly short while everyone else got locked out. After watching friends struggle to access the same high-performance investments that generated 30-40% annual returns for the wealthy, he made a controversial decision: partner with one of America's largest brokerages to build OpenVest, an actively managed platform that breaks every rule. He spent six months in India bootstrapping the technology, navigating complex SEC regulations, and designing a pricing model that makes traditional wealth managers furious—no percentage fees, just a flat $3/month. Who is Justin Kuyper: Justin Kuyper is a former Wall Street finance professional turned fintech entrepreneur who's on a mission to democratize elite investment strategies. After working inside New York's hedge fund and private equity industry, where he had direct access to the performance data and investor lists of top firms like Blackstone, KKR, and Citadel, Justin witnessed firsthand how the system locked out 99% of people from wealth-building opportunities reserved for the ultra-wealthy. This revelation sparked his decision to walk away from financial security and build something that challenged the status quo. As the co-founder of OpenVest, Justin has created the first actively managed investment platform that makes institutional-grade strategies accessible to anyone starting with just $300. By spending six months in India working directly with his engineering team, navigating complex SEC regulations, and partnering with Interactive Brokers (one of America's top four brokerages), he's built a solution that charges a flat $3/month instead of percentage-based fees that drain returns. Currently expanding from 11 US states to India and planning global growth to Brazil and beyond, Justin is proving that disruption isn't about having the biggest budget—it's about solving real problems with better solutions and staying committed to a mission that matters.

    Why Making Money But Feeling Empty Is The Hidden Business Owner's Crisis

    Send us a text Why do successful entrepreneurs feel empty despite hitting every goal? Rob Tracz built a thriving business working 80+ hours weekly, then lost everything that mattered—including his father. This raw conversation reveals how "successfully stuck" entrepreneurs sabotage themselves and the brutal wake-up call that changed everything. Rob shares his journey from grinding 16-hour days for three years straight without a single day off to discovering the dangerous trap of chasing financial markers while losing your health, relationships, and soul. After choosing work over spending time with his dying father, Rob hit rock bottom and realized he was building a life he didn't want to live. His story exposes how childhood experiences create patterns of people-pleasing, boundary-breaking, and using work as a distraction from pain. He reveals the difference between peak performance and burnout performance, and why most entrepreneurs mistake exhaustion for dedication. Who is Rob Tracz: Rob Tracz is the founder and CEO of Taps Coaching, a performance coach and entrepreneur psychology expert who specializes in helping successful business owners break free from being "successfully stuck." After building a profitable strength and conditioning business that demanded 16-17 hour days and launching a supplement line, Rob experienced a devastating wake-up call when his father passed from pancreatic cancer—having worked 30 years only to lose his pension before retirement. This tragedy, combined with his own burnout and deteriorating health, sparked Rob's transformation from hustling to healing. As the host of the "Surviving the Side Hustle" podcast, Rob combines his master's degree in exercise science with hard-won wisdom about the psychology of high performance. He works with solopreneurs, side hustlers, and entrepreneurs who appear successful but feel trapped, helping them develop awareness around their motivational drives, establish sustainable routines, and design environments that support breakthrough rather than breakdown. Rob's coaching focuses on the critical balance between pushing for growth and knowing when to pull back, emphasizing that true success comes from working smarter through self-awareness, strategic systems, and honoring personal boundaries.

    Why Entrepreneurs Unconsciously Destroy Their Own Success (The Hidden Mindset Patterns)

    Send us a text Whether you're drowning in overwhelm, struggling with imposter syndrome, or wondering why you can't break through to the next level despite working harder than ever, this interview provides the mental clarity and practical tools to shift from surviving to thriving. Albert breaks down the difference between business owners and business operators, shares why healing childhood trauma is essential for sustainable success, and explains how to become an opportunity magnet through mindset shifts. If you're ready to stop getting in your own way and start building the business and life you truly want, this conversation will change everything. WHO IS DR. ALBERT BRAMANTE Dr. Albert Bramante is a psychology expert, college professor, and founder/CEO of Bramante Artists, a talent management agency that has spent over 20 years studying the intersection of performance psychology and business success. With a master's degree in psychology and a PhD focused specifically on self-sabotage research, Albert discovered that the mental barriers holding back performers are identical to those limiting entrepreneurs, business owners, and high achievers across all industries. His "Rise Above the Script" framework has helped countless individuals conquer imposter syndrome, overcome paralyzing perfectionism, and transform fear into fuel for breakthrough growth. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYSProcrastination Is Trauma, Not Laziness - Research shows chronic procrastination often stems from childhood trauma rather than lack of discipline. The Happy File Builds Bulletproof Confidence - Document every win, testimonial, praise, and positive press in a running "happy file." Perfectionism Prevents Starting, Not Excellence - The belief that you need one more certification, one more course, or perfect conditions before launching keeps entrepreneurs stuck forever. Business Owner vs. Business Operator Mindset - Operators work 14-hour days barely making ends meet. Eliminate "Someday" from Your Vocabulary - "Someday I'll expand, someday I'll launch, someday I'll write the book" is a mental trap that guarantees nothing changes. CALL TO ACTIONSCheck out our channel and follow us on social media for more leadership, entrepreneurship, personal development, and success stories.  👉 https://linktr.ee/inspiredbysuccess Manage your finances like a pro while chasing your entrepreneurial dreams!

    From $0 to $1 Million: How Healing Childhood Trauma Unlocked My Success

    Send us a text From crushing anxiety to $100K months: How childhood trauma was secretly sabotaging this entrepreneur's success until one hospital visit changed everything. Matt Gerlach reveals the raw truth about healing, vulnerability, and why addressing your past is the ultimate business strategy. What makes this episode remarkable is Matt's vulnerability in sharing how therapy, self-awareness, and addressing root causes didn't just heal his mental health - it revolutionized his business. He went from being unable to advocate for his worth to earning seven figures annually, then transitioning into his true calling as a transformational coach. Matt breaks down the five essential practices that changed his life: journaling, nutrition, meditation, movement, and rest. He also shares powerful book recommendations and explains why vulnerability isn't weakness - it's the key to authentic success and meaningful relationships. Who is Matt Gerlach: Matt Gerlach is a transformational coach, entrepreneur, and author who specializes in helping high-achieving business leaders overcome self-sabotage rooted in childhood trauma. After building a successful consulting business that grew to seven figures annually, Matt experienced a life-changing breakdown that led to his breakthrough. His journey from anxiety, depression, and workaholism to authentic success and fulfillment has made him a sought-after mentor for entrepreneurs ready to do the deep work. 5 Key Takeaways: Childhood Trauma Drives Business Self-Sabotage - Unresolved trauma often manifests as inability to set boundaries, chronic undercharging, perfectionism, and people-pleasing in business settings. Wake-Up Calls Escalate Until You Listen - Life sends increasingly intense signals when you're not addressing core issues. Ignoring anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms only makes them worse. Vulnerability is a Superpower - Being honest about struggles and imperfections creates deeper connections, better leadership, and authentic success rather than maintaining a perfect facade.
