Evan Carmichael turned a year of near silence into one of the biggest YouTube channels for entrepreneurs on the internet, with millions of subscribers. He built and sold a biotech software company and raised venture capital before he ever pressed record. Today he trains thought leaders through his Brandlytics software and his Movement Makers program. In this conversation, we get into why he refuses to chase negativity for views, what it took to survive years of slow growth as a self-described introvert, and the difference between a hook and a pattern interrupt. We also cover the retention mistake that quietly kills great episodes, and how to borrow belief on the days when nothing is working. Stay with me.

Yesterday everything was fine. Today they’re cold, they’ve ghosted you, or you find out they’ve been talking about you to everyone but you. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick takes on “hurt people hurt people” from a different angle: what if the pain isn’t being resolved but transferred, and what if the person on the receiving end has no idea a trial ever took place? He breaks down how perception hardens into a verdict, why certainty replaces curiosity, the difference between a boundary and a punishment, and how the Interface Response System (Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed) gives reality a chance to enter the room. He also flips the script to what you do when you’re the one being accused. Stay with me.

In this Good Shift episode, Dr. JC Doornick takes the term "vibe coding," coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in February 2025 to describe building software by simply describing what you want to an AI, and turns it on its head. Every repeated thought is a line of code, and every algorithm is competing to write the next one for your operating system. Dr. JC explains how convenience quietly turns into surrender, why activity is not agency, and how to tell an authentic desire from an induced one. Then he walks you through the Interface Response System: perceive, pause, process, and proceed.

Jill Schulman was one of the first women to lead in Marine Corps combat engineering. She then turned a career in pharma and corporate leadership development into a master's in positive psychology at Penn, and she has trained more than 30,000 leaders around one idea: action creates confidence. Her book, The Bravery Effect, delivers that science as a parable. In this conversation, she and I make sense of why waiting until you feel ready is a trap, what a terrifying obstacle course taught her about fear, and why bravery is a skill anyone can build. You will also hear the one small step you can put on your calendar for tomorrow. Stay with me.

Even Dr. JC Doornick is not immune. One presentation was all it took to send his mind spiraling into doubt, comparison, and the question every high achiever quietly fears: what if I am not as good as I think I am? Then he did something small that changed the whole story. In this episode, he shows you the one move that puts you back in the driver's seat, and why it might be the most underrated skill in a world that never stops handing you answers. The people who learn this are the ones who stay sharp, stay calm, and stay ahead. And one more thing: you are going to want to hear how this one ends.

What if the life you keep trying to make happen is not the only one available to you?

In this Good Shift episode, a new series where Dr. JC Doornick brings one of his favorite Makes Sense Substack blogs to life, he starts with a question he was asked about who he creates for and what makes his voice different. That leads to a thoughtful look at allowance. Dr. JC explores the sweet spot between setting goals and letting life have the final say, and why we so often confuse certainty with safety. He leaves you with a few honest questions to sit with. Stay with me.

What if the search result you trusted most was quietly chosen to change your mind?

Dr. Robert Epstein is a Harvard-trained research psychologist and the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today. For more than a decade, he has studied how search engines, search suggestions, and video recommendations can quietly shift what people believe and how they vote. He has testified twice before Congress, and his team built America's Digital Shield, which he describes as the first nationwide system to capture the content tech companies send to real voters and children before it vanishes. In this conversation, Dr. Epstein explains why he says short-lived, invisible content is so hard to catch, why even people who notice the bias can still be swayed, and why he believes permanent monitoring is the only way to hold big tech accountable. We also get practical: a digital hygiene test you can take in under a minute, and the simple swaps he uses to protect his own privacy. These are Dr. Epstein's findings and views, and we work through them together. Stay with me.

What if the very thing draining your energy every day isn't your circumstances, but the hours you spend rehearsing a future that hasn't happened yet?

Dr. JC Doornick is currently navigating a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, and instead of talking around it, he uses it as the live case study for the system his book and coaching are built on: the Interface Response System. He walks through what he calls radical responsibility, introduces a concept from his next book called Carency, the limited currency of care, time, and attention we all spend, and explains why he's stopped bracing for what might happen so he can actually show up for what is happening. Along the way he pulls in Jim Dethmer's above the line and below the line framework, Mel Robbins on why no one is coming to save you, and Steve Jobs on connecting the dots, then leaves listeners with a challenge for the week ahead.

What if the people you love most aren't getting your best attention, just whatever is left after the noise has taken its share?

In this Good Shift episode, Dr. JC Doornick brings his Makes Sense Substack writing to life with a short, powerful reflection on Carrency: the limited supply of time, energy, attention, and focus we distribute each day. He explores how the brain's filter, programmed by the world around us, amplifies deadlines, conflict, and threat while quietly muting the moments that matter most: a partner who needs to be heard, a child who just wants your eyes on them, a few undivided seconds of connection. Using the Interface Response System, JC shows how to catch the automatic pattern and choose where your attention goes, because attention is also a form of love.

He built Magna International into one of the world's largest auto parts companies, with hundreds of factories and well over a hundred thousand employees. But the real story isn't the company's size. It's what he did with the profits. Instead of keeping them at the top, he split them with the people on the floor.

Today's guest is Frank Stronach, founder of Magna and the mind behind the Economic Charter of Rights, the profit-sharing model that made it happen. We get into the handshake deal that started it all, why he walked away from a $40 billion company to go all in on farming and horse racing, and the succession plan he built so his own family's fortune doesn't end up like most family businesses do.

If you've been trying to change your mindset — for success, happiness, or just clarity — you found the right video.

I'm Dr. JC Doornick, and for over 20 years, I've helped thousands of high-net-worth individuals see things from a different perspective—one that got them out of their own way and finally helped them achieve the success and life they wanted. But watching how reactive and quick to judge the world's gotten lately, I decided it was time to share this with everyone, not just the people who can afford it.

Give me 10 minutes. You'll walk out with a whole new point of view — but stick around for the last step, because that's where we flip the switch.

What does it really mean to “keep your feet” when life tries to sweep you away?

In this short Good Shift, Dr. JC Doornick explores the difference between experiencing adversity and letting it take control of your identity, direction, and response. Inspired by Bilbo Baggins’ timeless warning about stepping onto the road and not knowing where you might be swept off to, Dr. JC asks a deeper question: What if keeping your feet has less to do with controlling what happens and more to do with changing how you perceive it?

Through the lens of the Interface Response System—Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed—this episode challenges you to recognize that fear, adversity, and uncertainty don't automatically get to decide what something means. You may not control what shows up at your door, but you can learn to remain grounded long enough to decide what gets invited in.

Because sometimes the greatest skill in navigating a difficult road isn't knowing exactly where you're going. It's learning how to keep your feet.

For thirty years, if you worked at Mars, Kellogg, General Mills, KPMG, or Sony — and your brand needed to change from the inside out — there's a good chance you were quietly sent to one woman. No client logos. No case studies. No public profile. Just results so consistent that people in the industry started calling her 'the best-kept secret in the corporate world.' Today, that secrecy ends. Helen Althea Urwin is stepping out from behind three decades of confidentiality to talk — maybe for the first time ever — about what she actually believes. A philosophy she calls Being Giant, built on something she calls The Nine Freedoms. We're going to find out why the biggest brands on earth trusted her with their reinvention... and why she's finally trusting us with hers. Stay with me.

Someone told me I was called a misogynist. Not a stranger's opinion I could shrug off — someone who'd formed a real judgment about who I am. And it caught me off guard, because it felt nothing like how I see myself. My first instinct was to defend myself. My second instinct was to dismiss them. But then I went... Hmmm. Because if I'm asking all of you to stay curious and question your conditioned interpretations, shouldn't I be willing to question mine — especially about myself? Today, we're talking about what to do when someone hands you a label you don't recognize.

What if the reason certain problems keep coming back isn’t that you haven’t fought them hard enough—but because you haven’t changed the environment that allows them to thrive?

In this Good Shift, Dr. JC explores the difference between living like a Weed Whacker and becoming a Transformational Gardener. Drawing from his own journey with Stage 4 cancer, he challenges the instinct to spend our lives attacking symptoms, habits, stressors, relationships, and circumstances we don’t want—while overlooking the terrain beneath them.

Because lasting transformation isn’t always about fighting harder. Sometimes it’s about changing the soil.

What are you repeatedly trying to eliminate from your life that might be asking you to change the environment in which it keeps growing?

Stop whacking. Start gardening.

Hmmm?

What if reality isn't made of particles — what if it's made of code? My guest today is an independent researcher who took a laser, pointed it at the world, and recorded something that mainstream science has no clear explanation for. Danny Goler calls it the Code of Reality. Others have compared what he captured to the geometric patterns people report seeing on DMT. We'll get into the experiment itself, what he thinks it means, and why some of the most credentialed people in consciousness research are quietly paying attention. If you've ever felt like there's a layer to reality you're not supposed to see — you're going to want to stay for this one.

In 2001, psychologist Roy Baumeister tried to find one situation where good news outweighs bad news of the same size. His team couldn't find a single one. Their paper became one of the most-cited in psychology, and the conclusion was simple: bad is stronger than good. That's not pessimism — that's how your brain is wired. It's why one criticism can outweigh ten compliments, and why 'what if this fails' can drown out every reason it might work. So today, we're asking: what if the real problem isn't fear itself, but how much more trust we hand it?

Welcome to Good Shift—our weekly series where I take one of my favorite entries from the Makes Sense Substack and bring it to life right here on the podcast.

Today’s Good Shift is about the Automatic Yes—and why learning to pause before you commit might be one of the most powerful ways to protect the life you’re designing.

Let’s get into some Good Shift.

How many times have you said “yes” before you ever stopped to ask whether you actually wanted to?

Inspired by an August 26th entry from Jim Kwik’s Limitless Daily, this episode explores the hidden cost of the automatic “yes”—and why every commitment misaligned with your goals, purpose, and future may actually be a “no” to the person you’re becoming.

We’ll look at how people-pleasing, fear, habit, and conditioned reflexes can cause us to surrender our time, energy, attention, and carency before we’ve consciously decided where they belong. The Good Shift? You don’t have to answer right away.

This is where the power of “Hmmm” comes in.

By creating space between the request and your response, you give yourself an opportunity to look at the decision Whole-O-Graphically. Does this choice nourish your terrain or plant another weed? Does it support the life you’re designing, or quietly pull you away from it?

Sometimes the most powerful “yes” you can give yourself is a well-placed “no.”

In this episode, we explore how pausing before committing can help you reclaim your attention, protect your energy, consciously distribute your trust, and become the Architect of where your life goes next.

Because your future isn’t just shaped by what you choose to do. It’s also shaped by what you finally give yourself permission to decline.

Make sense?

What happens to human intelligence in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence?

In this special conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned brain coach and bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore his new book, Limitless Daily, and why developing our own minds may be more important now than ever.

As AI becomes faster, smarter, and more integrated into everyday life, Jim makes the case that Artificial Intelligence still depends on Human Intelligence—our ability to think critically, ask better questions, remain curious, learn faster, remember what matters, and consciously direct our attention.

But becoming limitless isn't something you do once. It's something you practice daily.

Jim shares the philosophy behind Limitless Daily, a book designed to give you a powerful lesson, insight, or mental reset every day of the year. Think of it as daily training for your brain—a way to intentionally win the morning before the world gets a chance to program your mind for you.

JC also shares how reading Limitless Daily each morning became an unexpected companion during his cancer recovery, often delivering exactly the lesson, perspective, or question he needed that particular day.

This conversation explores brain health, focus, memory, mindset, morning routines, lifelong learning, the relationship between AI and HI, and what it really means to become limitless—not by doing more, but by learning how to better use the most powerful technology you'll ever possess:

Your own mind.

If you've been wondering how to stay focused, capable, creative, and distinctly human in the age of AI, this conversation with Jim Kwik is one you won't want to miss.

Your brain already made up its mind about today's episode, and you haven't even heard the topic yet. That's not a guilt trip; that's neuroscience. In the next few seconds, your mind will label this video interesting or skip it, useful or not, right up your alley or not, and it will do all of that before you have any real information. Today we're calling that out by name. It's called Whole-O-Graphic Vision, and it might be the most useful three minutes you spend all week. Makes sense? Good. Let's get into it.

What if the hardest moments of your life aren’t interruptions to the plan—but part of the blueprint?

In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we explore the difference between a life that simply happens to you and a life intentionally designed by you. Inspired by a recent conversation with Jack Daly and the philosophy behind his book Life by Design, Dr. JC challenges us to consider an uncomfortable question: Have you actually designed the life you’re living, or have you mostly been reacting to the one you were handed?

We often spend more time planning vacations, careers, and purchases than we do consciously designing our values, relationships, health, purpose, and legacy. But becoming the Architect of Your Life doesn’t mean controlling everything that happens. It means deciding who you will become in response to what happens.

Sometimes the greatest teachers arrive disguised as setbacks, adversity, trauma, loss, and even a life-changing diagnosis. These experiences can disrupt the life we planned while simultaneously revealing the life we actually want to live. They clarify what matters, expose what doesn’t, and remind us just how precious our time really is.

The Good Shift is recognizing that adversity doesn’t always destroy the blueprint. Sometimes adversity gives you the blueprint.

This episode invites you to reclaim the steering wheel, stop letting circumstances dictate your identity, and intentionally design the person you want to be and the life you want to live. Because if you don’t consciously design your reality, there will always be people, circumstances, fears, and expectations willing to design it for you.

It’s time to look in the mirror, reclaim the keys of trust, and start living full out—not as the person the world expects you to be, but as the person you choose to become.

What if everything you believe about why you are 'you' is wrong? My guest today has spent his career studying the brain at Johns Hopkins — and a few years ago, he was told he had six to twelve months to live. Today, we're talking about what he's learned on both sides of that line. We're going to get into why 'nature versus nurture' is, in his words, scientifically lazy — and what's actually shaping your personality, your preferences, even who you're attracted to. We're going to talk about a discovery about sexual sensation in the body that's only a few years old. And we're going to talk about what facing death taught him about time, gratitude, and identity that no textbook ever could. Stick around — this one gets personal fast

Everything you're stressed about today? Most of it is about to become worthless. Not because you'll fix it. Because something bigger is about to make it look small.

I'm Dr. JC Doornick. I was recently diagnosed with cancer, and what happened next wasn't just fear. It was the fastest reordering of my priorities I've ever felt. Things I obsessed over for years, gone in a week.

Research on post-traumatic growth says most people go through this exact shift. By the end of this episode, you'll know what you're getting wrong about your own time.

This is The Humbling.

My guest today spent two decades inside Scientology — fourteen of those years inside the Sea Organization, the most demanding, most secretive inner circle the church has. She interviewed John Travolta. She watched up close how power moved around Tom Cruise. And then one day, she walked away from all of it, with nothing, and had to figure out how to become a person again. Today she's turned that story into a TikTok series that's exploded — not just with ex-Scientologists, but with anyone who's ever had to leave a system that told them who to be. We're going to talk about what it's actually like inside the Sea Org, the moment she knew she had to leave, and what nobody tells you about starting over. Anne Gollert Hill, welcome.

Your brain already ran its program this morning — before your feet hit the floor. That's not a metaphor. Neuroscience shows your brain boots up yesterday's emotional patterns automatically, the same way an AI model repeats whatever it was trained on. So here's the real question: who's writing the code today — you, or the world? In the next few minutes, I'm going to show you why a two-word gratitude practice is the single most powerful override for your morning routine — and why it's not sentimental; it's strategic. Makes sense? Good. Let's get into it.

What if the thing that finally stopped your addiction... wasn't willpower? Today I'm sitting down with Matt Grace — a man who went from Ritalin to crystal meth to arrests and overdoses, and is now, twenty years later, the guy that Manhattan's wealthiest families call when their kid is dying from the same thing he almost died from. He's about to tell you the one thing his own parents did that kept him sick for years — and why he says addiction never lies, but families do. This is not a sanitized recovery story. Stay with us.

Vote for Chicken And Dragon Here For America's Favorite Couple: https://americasfavcouple.org/2026/jean-claude-claude-doornick

After seven years of dating disappointments, one final swipe brought them together. Then Mieke revealed she planned to adopt her late sister’s daughter—the same little girl Dr. JC had been dreaming about for years. Through grief, financial hardship, therapy, and the challenges of adoption during COVID, they learned how honesty, communication, resilience, and authentic love can carry a relationship through adversity.

A powerful reminder that the love—and family—you have been searching for may arrive in a way you never expected.

Takeaways:

The power of manifestation and law of attraction in love Healing from past ruptures and divorce to find true love The role of self-love and authenticity in attracting a partner Unbelievable signs and synchronicities that guided their journey The importance of trust and surrender in relationships How shared values and purpose strengthen their bond The impact of adversity and resilience on love The unique story of adopting Lexi and blending families

"Imagine finishing your work week on Friday, flying to Nepal, summiting Mount Everest — and being back at your desk by the following Monday.

Håkon and Hanne Hyttedalen are Norwegian consultants. They work full-time in corporate Oslo. And they have also won ultra trail races, run the UTMB around Mont Blanc, completed a 160-kilometer mountain race in a blizzard with a 77% DNF rate — and this May, they stood on the summit of the highest point on Earth. Together. As a married couple.

Today we're getting into exactly how they do it — how they train two hours a day without burning out, what it feels like to nearly not make it off a mountain, and whether any of this is actually accessible to the rest of us. Stay with me."

Ninety-two percent of people who set a goal this year will abandon it before spring. Not from lack of motivation — because they tried to change what they do without deciding who they are first. Today, Dr. JC breaks down the identity-first mindset: how your habits, your routines, even how you respond to a diagnosis, are votes for who you've already decided to become. By the end of this episode, you'll stop asking what you want — and start asking who you're becoming.

What if the thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live… isn’t your circumstances, your resources, or your talent — but one invisible enemy inside your own mind?

My guest today spent thirty years broke, overlooked, and grinding before the world ever heard his name. He drove trucks. He tended bars. He wrote scripts nobody bought. And then he sat down and wrote a book that redefined how artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs think about their own psychology.

Steven Pressfield has one name for what’s stopping you — and once he tells you what it is, you will never unsee it.

Stay with us. This one is going to hit different.

You will spend more energy this week trying to control things you have zero power over than on anything you can actually change. Zero. And it's exhausting you. There's a river that never fights the boulder in its path — it just flows around it. Today I'm showing you how to become that river. This is the Untouchable Flow — the mindset shift that took me from fearing my own diagnosis to finding more peace than I've ever had. If you've ever felt like life's chaos gets to decide your mood, your focus, your peace — that ends today. Let's go.

What would you do if you had lost everything — your home, your freedom, your will to live — and the only thing you had left was a decision? My guest today hit every one of those walls. He was homeless. He sat behind bars. He tried to end his life. And then — somehow — he went on to build an 800% sales turnaround at a dealership most people had written off, become a national speaker spotlighted on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and raise nine kids along the way. Today Glenn Lundy is going to tell us exactly what broke him, what rebuilt him, and the dead-simple morning practice he says anyone can use to stop surviving and start performing. Stay with us — because the moment he tells you what he was doing at 4 am that changed his entire life, you will not want to go back to the way you've been starting your days.

Great Morning, Humans, Great Morning, World. I am Dr. JC Doornick, AKA the Dragon. Welcome to the Makes Sense Podcast, and welcome to the Uprising of the sleepwalking masses.

Here's a bold statement: 99% of the emotional pain you feel today isn't happening to you — it's happening to a costume you're wearing. Napoleon Hill called it indifference. I call it the Unshakable Mindset. And today, I'm going to show you the exact four-step system I am using — right now, in real time — to stay architecturally sound while the world tries to shake me. If you've ever wondered how some people seem completely unbothered while everyone else is a puppet on a string... stay with me. This one might change how you respond to everything.

What if the most transformative experiences of your life — crisis, loss, near-death — aren’t things that happen TO you… But things that can permanently wake you UP? My guest today has spent two decades collecting the evidence. He’s a psychology lecturer, a bestselling author in over 20 languages, and someone Eckhart Tolle called a vital voice for the shift in human consciousness. Today we’re going into the psychology of awakening, why he believes the ego isn’t your true self but an evolutionary accident — and why he thinks the Beatles were tapping into something most of us never access.

Here's something nobody tells you about a cancer diagnosis: it might be the most clarifying moment of your entire life. Studies show that up to 70% of cancer survivors report what psychologists call post-traumatic growth — not just surviving, but becoming. Today we're going somewhere most podcasts are too afraid to go. We're asking whether a terminal diagnosis could actually be a spiritual breakthrough — a forced consciousness shift that delivers the radical authenticity and flow state you've spent your whole life chasing. Buckle in. This one's going to change the way you see everything.

What if the most powerful therapy available right now isn't in a clinic? Is it in a jungle? My guest today has sat in a ceremony with hundreds of people. He's guided them through Ayahuasca in the Amazon, through the full-force blast of 5-MeO-DMT from Bufo toad venom, through peyote, San Pedro, and mushrooms, and he has seen people fall apart and put themselves back together in a single weekend. But he's also seen how it could go wrong. And that's exactly what we need to talk about. Billy Venkatraman is a life coach, a CBT and NLP-trained practitioner, and the founder of I AM TRIBE — and he's here to give you the most honest conversation about plant medicine you've probably ever heard. Stay with me.

Here's a question that might sting a little — who has power over you right now? Because if you're honest... it's anyone whose approval you need. Research shows that the human brain is wired to treat social rejection the same way it treats a physical threat. Your nervous system literally cannot tell the difference. But what if the most radical act of personal power wasn't fighting harder — it was wanting less? Today we're talking about strategic indifference: the IRS Process principle that the ancient Stoics figured out thousands of years ago — and that most people will never use. Stay with me

The night in the ER that changed everything. After being diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer, Dr. JC Doornick found himself overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, and an endless stream of advice from well-meaning people. But instead of asking only how to fight the cancer, he began asking a different question: What allowed it to grow in the first place?

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. JC shares the story of his diagnosis for the first time and introduces a powerful mindset shift inspired by his Interface Response System (IRS): before you plant new seeds, you must first pull the weeds. Learn why healing isn't just about treatments, supplements, or new habits—it's about transforming the terrain of your mind, body, and life so that health can thrive. Whether you're facing illness, burnout, grief, or any major life challenge, this episode will help you stop chasing solutions and start creating the conditions for lasting change.

This episode is the cornerstone of our new "Stay Curious" brand campaign. It addresses a profound human paradox: we claim to want growth and enlightenment, but we remain "Prisoners of Certainty." We’ll explore why our biology pushes us toward the "safety" of knowing, and why that "knowing" is actually a mental wall blocking us from our next breakthrough. We’re moving the conversation from "Try and try again" to "Stay open and see what else exists.

Ninety-three percent of people die with their calling still inside them. Not because they didn't dream. Not because they weren't talented. But because the moment they stepped toward the arena of play, the moment real opportunity showed up, they short-circuited. The voltage was too high for the identity they were still running on. Today, we're not just talking about stepping in. We're talking about the identity transformation required to stay in, without burning out, selling out, or tapping out. Great morning, humans. Great morning, world. I'm Dr. JC Doornick, the Dragon, and this is Makes Sense.

Does it feel like the world is moving faster than you can keep up? From AI taking over tasks to the "way we’ve always done it" suddenly failing, the pressure to stay relevant is real. Today, veteran operator James Orsini joins Dr. JC Doornick to talk about the human side of high-level success.

James isn't just a corporate executive; he’s a survivor of 40 years of industry shifts. He shares why your "past self" might be holding you back and how to find the "connective tissue" that keeps you grounded while you scale. We also touch on the vYve Mastermind, the community James is helping lead to ensure founders don't have to face these changes alone.

Here's a fact that should disturb you: scientists estimate your brain processes 11 million bits of information every single second — but you're only consciously aware of about 50. So the question isn't what you see. The question is: who chose what you don't see? Today on Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we're going into the natural selection of perception — why the reality you're living in may not actually be yours, and exactly what it takes to rewire your brain and take it back.

Money coach Jen Fontanilla spent 25 years designing for Disney before cracking the code on creative worth. Here's why you're undercharging — and how to stop.

She spent 25 years creating packaging for Disney, Sony, and Target. She was good at her job — great, actually. But here's what nobody knew: she had no idea how to handle her own money. None. And she is not alone — because if you are a creative, a designer, a writer, a maker of any kind, the system was literally built to keep you broke and grateful for it. Today's guest is Jen Fontanilla — TEDx speaker, seven-time author, and the woman who turned her own financial rock bottom into a career dismantling the 'Starving Artist' myth one belief at a time. We are going to get into why you keep undercharging, why your childhood shaped your rates, and the one mindset shift that changes everything. Do not go anywhere.

Are you doing everything "right" but still feel stuck? You might be living a lie. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick and guest Jason Duncan expose the "Golden Cage" of modern success. Many of us were taught that working harder and earning more equals freedom, but for most high achievers, it actually creates a life where you are the bottleneck.

We break down where these common lies about money and business come from and how to finally break free. Using the Interface Response System (IRS), we show you how to perceive the truth about your situation so you can redefine success on your own terms. It’s time to stop building a business that owns you and start building a life that serves you.
