    Doctors Said She’d Need a Wheelchair. She Built a Clinic with Trish Lewis-Clark

    What do you do when doctors tell you your body may never be the same again? In this powerful live round table conversation, Trish Lowe Clark shares her story of blood clots, mobility loss, breast implant illness, faith, red light therapy, and building a health clinic from the ground up when everything in her life pointed toward giving up. Trish opens up about being told she could end up in a wheelchair, planning her funeral during a terrifying health crisis, and hearing God redirect her into a new purpose. What started as her own search for healing became Aspire Contour Body Sculpting, a red light therapy and body sculpting clinic in Bluffton, South Carolina. This episode is for entrepreneurs, health and wellness professionals, faith-driven business owners, and anyone who has ever felt like their pain might be the end of their story. You’ll hear how surrender, persistence, ethical sales, client care, and listening to your body helped Trish turn survival into service. You’ll learn how Trish discovered red light therapy after serious health challenges and why she believes education and trust matter before any sale. You’ll hear how she faced 13 business loan rejections, kept praying, and launched her health clinic with limited resources and a clear mission. You’ll discover why her client consultation process is built around listening, hope, and human connection instead of treating people like numbers. You’ll get practical business lessons on marketing, pricing, follow-up, client retention, and standing out in a crowded health and wellness market. 00:00 Intro00:21 Welcome to the Round Table00:38 Guest introductions02:37 Mike shares his background in speaking and publishing03:05 Rod shares his recovery and entrepreneurship story06:00 Introducing Trish Lowe Clark06:55 Trish’s blood clots, mobility loss, and health battle08:27 Discovering red light therapy09:20 Breast implant illness and a life-changing surgery opening10:54 Launching a red light therapy health clinic12:00 Facing fear, faith, and her mother’s words14:00 Starting the business from scratch15:41 13 loan rejections and a breakthrough18:03 First clients, early marketing, and paying off debt20:28 Lessons from health struggles and listening to your body22:25 Who Trish’s future book could help25:40 What makes red light therapy powerful28:34 Why education separates her clinic from competitors30:56 Questions from the Round Table33:09 Standing out in a niche wellness market35:15 Marketing lessons for entrepreneurs37:43 Using AI, follow-up, and real human connection40:12 Being your own first customer41:05 Where to find Trish42:36 Closing thoughts #RedLightTherapy#HealthTransformation#FaithAndBusiness#EntrepreneurStory#BodySculpting Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Podcast Strategy Most Business Owners Miss

    Most business owners think starting a podcast means creating more content, posting more episodes, chasing downloads, and adding one more task to an already full calendar. But a business podcast should not be just another content project. It should be an authority platform, a networking tool, a referral engine, and a client acquisition strategy that supports real business growth. In this episode, Tim Holloway explains why your podcast strategy needs to start with business outcomes, not microphones, cover art, episode topics, or publishing schedules. You will learn how to use a podcast to build authority, create strategic relationships, generate referrals, nurture leads, support your customer journey, and position yourself as the trusted expert in your market. This is for coaches, consultants, service providers, local business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs who want their podcast to do more than collect vanity metrics. If you want a podcast that builds trust, creates opportunities, and helps your business make money, this episode will change how you think about podcasting. You’ll learn why downloads are not the main measure of podcast success and how to connect every episode to a real business objective like referrals, trust, partnerships, or client acquisition. Tim breaks down how to choose your authority lane so your podcast is positioned clearly for the audience, the guest, and the business instead of becoming a random show with no strategy. You’ll discover how podcast interviews create a natural reason to reach out to high-value people, build relationships, and start referral partnerships without cold selling or awkward networking. This episode also explains why you should design the platform before choosing episode topics, so your podcast supports your sales journey, customer journey, content marketing, and long-term business growth. 00:00 Intro: Your podcast is not just content02:08 People buy outcomes, not your method04:31 Why jargon creates marketing resistance06:11 You need a platform, not another task09:11 Podcasts create strategic conversations11:31 Your podcast as the center hub of business growth13:50 Why most podcasters quit15:47 Track outcomes beyond downloads17:31 Using podcasts for networking and referrals19:13 Stop starting with production questions21:23 Why business objectives matter more than downloads23:25 Build a network, not just an audience25:06 Define the business outcome first29:52 Choose your authority lane31:00 Serve the audience, guest, and business34:00 Use your podcast as a reason to reach out36:03 Design the platform before the episodes37:53 Build around the people who move your business forward39:00 Final reframe: podcasting as a business growth platform #PodcastStrategy#BusinessPodcast#AuthorityMarketing#ClientAcquisition#BusinessGrowth Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is for fathers, Christian men, veterans, law enforcement officers, coaches, and anyone who has ever wondered whether their past mistakes can be redeemed.

Dave explains what really happened the night he was shot as a police officer and how training, mindset, and first thoughts helped him stay in the fight. He shares how his sons’ honest feedback forced him to face the version of himself that showed up at home, on the field, and in his marriage. The conversation explores how vulnerability, forgiveness, faith in Christ, and personal responsibility helped him rebuild connection with his children.

    The Business Side of Building Nobody Teaches You with Deanna Lucas

    Most contractors, builders, and local business owners are great at what they do — but that does not always mean people can find them, trust them, or choose them online. In this conversation, Tim Holloway talks with Deanna Lucas about what it really takes to grow a business beyond word-of-mouth, bad leads, and the daily grind of doing everything yourself. Deanna grew up in the housing industry, came from a family of builders, and experienced firsthand how the housing market crash changed everything for contractors, realtors, homeowners, and local communities. After years in interior decorating, construction, and design, she transitioned into digital marketing to help contractors, ministries, and local businesses build stronger systems, improve lead quality, use social media, and create an online presence that actually works. This episode is for contractors, builders, tradespeople, church leaders, ministry owners, podcast hosts, and small business owners who want to grow their authority, improve marketing, get better leads, use automation, and build a business that supports their family, faith, and future. You’ll hear how Deanna went from growing up on job sites to helping contractors and local businesses master the business side of building through digital marketing, automation, social media scheduling, and lead management. Tim and Deanna talk about why every lead is not a good lead, how poor lead quality wastes time, and why business owners need more than names and phone numbers if they want real growth. You’ll also learn why podcasting can build authority, create powerful networking opportunities, and open doors to partnerships, referrals, and business growth. This conversation also goes deeper into faith, family, answered prayer, raising children, surrendering hard situations to God, and trusting that grace is secure through what Jesus has already done. 00:00 Intro and Deanna Lucas joins the conversation01:00 Growing up in a family of builders02:20 How the housing market crash affected contractors and realtors03:30 Transitioning into digital marketing04:45 Why churches and local businesses need to show up online06:00 What people look for before visiting a church07:10 The impact of the housing crisis on communities08:50 Moving from physical work to online business systems09:45 Helping contractors master the business side of building11:40 Getting off the tool and growing beyond owner-operator13:10 Why every lead is not a quality lead15:40 Deanna’s podcast and the power of networking18:10 Why podcasting builds authority20:30 Lessons from interviewing family on a podcast22:00 Building consistency with a weekly podcast23:00 Networking, partnerships, and business opportunities26:40 Faith, family, and putting God first28:00 Praising God for answered prayers30:00 Parenting, struggle, and surrender32:00 What God has been putting on Deanna’s heart33:15 Grace, salvation, and secure attachment to God35:00 Where to connect with Deanna35:40 Social media scheduling offer for businesses #ContractorMarketing#LocalBusinessMarketing#ChristianBusiness#PodcastingTips#DigitalMarketing Learn more about your ad choices.

    If Nobody Claps, Don’t Call It Humility; Fix Your Message

    Stop hating applause and start earning it—because applause isn’t ego… it’s evidence your message is landing. If your content gets no likes, no comments, no amens, no shares, no feedback, that’s not “humility.” That’s a signal. In this episode, we break down why so many leaders, creators, speakers, coaches, pastors, and entrepreneurs secretly reject recognition—then wonder why they’re ignored. Applause is not the goal, but it is a scoreboard. It tells you whether your communication is clear, confident, and actually producing transformation. If your message matters, your brand matters, your mission matters—then you should care whether people feel it. This talk goes deep into the difference between approval addiction and healthy feedback, why “false humility” keeps you small, and how honor, excellence, validation, and appreciation can exist without ego. You’ll learn how to pursue impact without becoming a glory-hound—and why being impressive is part of the game when you’re trying to serve people at a high level. You’ll hear why applause is feedback—not vanity—and how to use it like data to improve your message, your systems, and your delivery. You’ll learn the difference between wanting recognition and needing it for your identity, plus how insecurity turns “I don’t care” into a mask. We also unpack faith-based “worm theology” and the idea that staying small makes God big—then reframe honor, affirmation, and excellence as part of a healthy, mission-driven life. Finally, you’ll get a practical mindset shift: if you avoid being impressive, you’ll keep getting ignored—so bring your best without making it about your ego. 00:00 Intro: Applause isn’t ego—it’s evidence01:08 Applause vs approval addiction03:06 If your work transforms people, feedback should show04:00 Public speaking, TED Talks, and the “scoreboard”06:05 When no one engages: what it might mean08:04 “Amen” as validation and real-time feedback09:00 False humility exposed10:13 Why feedback matters (the “data” analogy)12:05 Faith culture, identity, and “worm theology”15:13 Glorification, honor, and worthiness17:38 Honor one another: appreciation → honor20:03 Co-laboring and agency (not passivity)21:56 Excellence, impressiveness, and making an impression26:24 Receive gratitude without ego29:47 Empty cup syndrome and serving from overflow30:07 Applause vs reassurance (seen, heard, known)34:55 Wanting applause vs needing applause38:01 Final reframe: applause is evidence #MindsetShift #PublicSpeaking #Confidence #PersonalDevelopment #Leadership Learn more about your ad choices.

    If You Hate Clout, You’re Choosing Invisibility (Here’s Why)

    If you’re building a podcast, brand, coaching offer, book, speaking career, or online business—and you secretly hate “clout”—this episode is your wake-up call. Because if you’re allergic to clout, you’re choosing invisibility over impact. And invisibility kills influence, credibility, authority, trust, and cash flow. Real clout isn’t flexing. It’s being trusted before you enter the room—when your reputation and track record speak for you. In this episode, we break down the difference between fake influence and earned credibility, why your message gets ignored when you have no system for trust, and how consistency creates a reputation people can vouch for. You’ll learn how testimonials, proof, and daily showing up build the “no-like-and-trust” factor that makes people actually buy, follow, and refer you. If you’re tired of chasing crumbs, starting every conversation at zero trust, and watching people with less talent get more attention—this is the framework to build a reputation that precedes you (the right way).  Why clout = trust, not ego or showing off The track record principle: people trust actions, not words Why no reputation can be as damaging as a bad one How consistency builds credibility in content, business, and marketing The “rearview mirror” test for reputation (and what it reveals) The 2-step clout framework: pick what you’re known for + show proof How testimonials, referrals, and results create real authority 00:00 Intro: attention → clout, credibility, reputation01:08 Clout isn’t flexing—it’s trust before you walk in02:06 The 2 problems: don’t know what to do vs. won’t execute05:14 The ingredient metaphor: you can’t skip what you need06:43 High school reputation + track record examples11:38 Definition: credibility = reputation + consistency16:01 Feedback, reviews, and transformation proof19:19 The “people vouch for you” principle (testimonials/referrals)22:03 Why “I’m above marketing” is pride (and costs you)23:07 Be known for something—or be known for nothing26:52 What you’re for vs. what you’re against29:13 Why trust determines sales30:06 You are allowed to be known34:44 The 2-step framework: pick it + publish proof36:19 Wrap up Hashtags:#Clout #Credibility #PersonalBrand #PodcastMarketing #OnlineBusiness Learn more about your ad choices.
