    Ep 124: What Childhood Taught Mykal White About Handling Pressure

    In sixth grade, she hid in the last bathroom stall to collect herself between classes. That’s where she learned the composure that built her sales career. Description Mykal White, founder of The MasterKey Academy, helps people perform under pressure in sales. Her story starts in a middle school bathroom stall. Every day there, a sixth grader learned to steady herself before walking back out. Melvin Larry and Mykal talk about why she believes that mindset isn’t bigger than conditioning and why poise means remembering you get to choose your response. They also cover how sales reveals your relationship with pressure and what her mother taught her about never forgetting who you are. Then they get honest about parenting, unspoken resentment, and even what women wish men knew. Recorded live at Story Into Profit Live.

    Ep 123: You Don’t Know It Like You Think You Do: The 4 Levels of Knowledge

    The longer you’ve been around, the easier it is to mistake familiarity for mastery. Description Knowing about something and actually living it are two completely different things. In this episode, Melvin Larry walks through the four levels of knowledge (learned, modeling, activity, and teaching) and turns them into a mirror instead of a ladder. Through a church broadcasters’ convention, a mentor decades younger, and the voice that asks, “Where have you been?”, he shows how experience can hide the gaps, why “I already know” may be the most dangerous limiting belief of all, and why being willing to be a beginner again is a sign of strength.

    Ep 122: What Got You Here May Be Keeping You Here

    Is what got you here still capable of taking you where you're trying to go? Sometimes the thing standing between you and your next chapter isn't something you don't know. It's something you already know.  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry takes on a hard kind of growth: questioning the things that worked. Failure gets our attention. Success gives us evidence we were right, and that makes it harder to see when a lesson has finished its job. Melvin talks about the difference between an experience and the meaning we attach to it. He shares how growing up shorter than everyone shaped what he believed about himself. He also explains why, now that his sons are all taller than him, the same fact means something completely different. He talks about becoming a beginner again in podcasting after years as a church audio and video technician, and why being vulnerable on the show still challenges his private, introverted nature. He revisits advice a leader gave him more than 20 years ago and explains how he applies it differently today. He also covers the person many of us find hardest to forgive: ourselves. Along the way, he shows how limiting beliefs often don't sound limiting. They sound like experience. "I've tried that before." "That's just who I am." "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Your past deserves a voice. It just doesn't get the final say. In this episode: Why it's harder to question something that worked than something that failedThe difference between an experience and the interpretation you attached to itHow a lesson can outlive the situation that created itWhy limiting beliefs often sound like experience instead of fearConfusing identity with repetition, and why "that's just who I am" deserves a questionUsing the dots and lines to find where a belief came fromPrinciple vs. method: the principle stays, the application evolvesHow old beliefs stop you from taking the action that would produce new evidenceWhy success is "the progressive realization of a worthy ideal"How to honor the person you used to be without letting them make every decisionWatch: https://youtu.be/QlGdXM8RIu0 Listen: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/episodes/19928460 Resources Your Dots and Lines Worksheet™:  https://go.theshatteredmindset.com/dotsSix Signals: A Short Book About the Decision You Keep Avoiding: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCRDW9SRConnect with Melvin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larryTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarryX: https://x.com/MelvinLarryWebsite: https://www.theshatteredmindset.comRecommended Episodes Episode 86: What Shaped Your Mindset Before You Knew ItEpisode 90: The Identity Gap — Who You Believe You Are vs. Who You're BecomingCall to Action If this episode made you rethink a belief you've carried for years, LIKE this video and SHARE it with someone who's ready for their next chapter.

    Ep 121: Your Story Isn't About You

    It's your story. But it's not about you. The stories you keep telling don't just describe your life. They shape it.  In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry revisits a presentation he gave years before this podcast existed. It was called The Power of Stories, and inside it he finds the same idea this show was later built on: life's turning points and defining moments. Melvin walks through the three elements found in most meaningful stories: a challenge, a transition, and a defining moment. He shows why those three don't always happen close together. He retells the car accident he survived at 16 and explains how its meaning unfolded over 30 years. Part of that came from finally understanding, as a father himself, why his own father reacted the way he did that night. He also covers the side of storytelling most people miss. The stories we repeat about ourselves can turn into limiting beliefs and rehearsed identities. Through stories of missed opportunities, prejudging people, a year of five family losses, and a manager who said he'd never advance, Melvin shows how to discover, develop, and deliver your story so it serves someone besides you. In this episode: The three elements of a meaningful story: challenge, transition, and defining momentWhy the meaning of an experience can take decades to show itselfHow the S.I.F.T. Process™ explains why two people tell the same event so differentlyHow repeated stories become limiting beliefs and rehearsed identitiesMissed opportunities, assumptions, and the influence you don't realize you haveWhy perseverance sometimes just means putting one foot in front of the otherHow to discover, develop, and deliver your own story with purposeWhy legacy isn't just what you leave to people, but what you leave in themWatch Full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/feCW3uqVNuw Listen to This Episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/episodes/19893235 Resources Your Dots and Lines Worksheet™: https://go.theshatteredmindset.com/dotsTHE S.I.F.T.

    Ep 120: You've Been Reading the Wrong Map

    Africa is fourteen times bigger than Greenland. What else have you been wrong about?  For four hundred and fifty years, the world looked at a map that quietly lied about the size of an entire continent — and almost nobody stopped to check it. In this episode, Melvin Larry breaks down why that happened, and why the same thing has been happening inside you. The belief you've been carrying about who you are, what you're capable of, and what's still possible for you — where did that map actually get drawn? A parent, a teacher, a failure, a season that's long over? This episode walks through what that wrong map has already cost you, a real story about a cassette tape Melvin almost threw away that turned into millions in business, and a practical way to actually redraw the map for yourself, starting today.

    Ep 119: Nancy Dabney: Ministry, Mental Health & God's Seasons

    She spent years running from mental health conversations — until the same program that helped her understand her sister also taught her how to finally grieve her.  What happens when you stop chasing a career and start following assignments instead? In this episode, I sit down with Nancy Dabney — Connections Ministry Director at LinkedUp Church, ordained minister, former lighthouse keeper, and someone who's mentored me personally through my own podcasting journey. We talk about the moment she rededicated her life in 1991 and hasn't taken a "job" since, what it actually looked like to run America's first lighthouse, and the wild story of obedience that led her from cleaning a church bathroom to producing a TV ministry. We also go somewhere deeper — her years of resistance to working in mental health, the sister she lost, and the psychosis education program that finally let her see her sister as a person instead of a diagnosis. Nancy doesn't hand out easy answers here. She talks about seasons, about emotions not defining you, and about why every dot in your life — even the confusing ones — eventually connects to a through-line. If you've ever felt like your path doesn't add up, this conversation is for you.

    Ep 118: When Did You Stop Expecting More from Yourself?

    You didn't wake up one day and decide to want less from yourself. It happened slowly enough that you never even noticed the bar dropping.  Somewhere along the way, without ever making a decision about it, you stopped expecting as much from yourself. Not in one dramatic moment — through a slow, quiet erosion caused by comfort, success, disappointment, or age. In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry breaks down the four quiet ways your personal standards get lowered without your permission, and why each one feels completely reasonable in the moment. From a career decision Melvin turned down decades ago to patterns he's watched play out for years in leadership and business, this episode challenges you to name exactly where you've quietly settled — and what it would cost you to raise the bar again, starting this week. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or anyone who's ever felt the edge come off your own ambition, this conversation is for you. *Watch the Full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dACwlRsEjkw *Listen:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/episodes/19782983 Resources: Free tool — Action, Clarity, Confidence Loop: go.theshatteredmindset.com/loop  This episode is sponsored by Opus Clips: https://www.opus.pro/?via=2bfec1 Connect with Melvin: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melvinlarry1 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melvin.larry - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melvinlarry118 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvinlarry - X: https://x.com/MelvinLarry - Website: https://www.theshatteredmindset.com Recommended Episodes: Episode 108 — What Is Life Quietly Producing in You?

    Ep 117: Che Willis - From $23,500 to Financial Freedom

    He bought his first rental for $23,500 right before the 2008 crash froze lending. Today he owns five properties free and clear, and it started with his dad showing him a house full of strangers paying rent.  Che Willis, host of the Wealth is a Journey podcast, joins The Shattered Mindset to unpack the real story behind his financial journey: growing up in a crowded three-bedroom house, discovering real estate at nine years old on a trip through Philadelphia with his father, buying his first rental in 2007 just before the market crashed, and paying off his house three weeks after starting Financial Peace University. We get into the forgotten stock options that helped pay off his mortgage, why he refuses to convince anyone to change their financial habits, how he's teaching his nine-year-old son and his cousins to invest through a monthly family Zoom call, and why he's still not ready to leave his corporate job even though he set a goal to retire at 45.
