This founder is spilling all the tea about Silicon Valley…

Kristin Jackson of Freespoke joins Erik Cabral in this episode as she pulls no punches about big tech's dirty secrets. From privacy violations and propaganda, to how certain sites target users - this woman is on a mission to expose it all.

This fearless woman is taking on the establishment with her ethical search startup. Don't miss her bombshell revelations about how corporations actually treat users. One listen and you'll see why she's shaking up the entire industry.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• The need for ethical technology and guardrails on data collection and use

• Exposing the harms of pornography and its links to human trafficking

• Providing a full, unbiased view of information beyond one perspective

Episode Highlights:

[08:54] The Impact of Pornography

Kristin shares alarming statistics during the conversation that helped catalyze Freespoke's stance against pornography. She notes data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline showing it is the third most common form of sex trafficking after illicit massage parlors and escort services. Additionally, Kristin mentions a New York Times article describing over half of online pornographic images involve the exploitation of children. With over 36 million tips received in a single year by the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children's cyber tip line regarding online child abuse, Freespoke was motivated to become a pornography-free search platform to safeguard users, particularly minors, from inadvertently encountering such harmful material.

[26:03] The Founding of Freespoke

Kristin discusses how observing bias and censorship in other search engines inspired her to establish Freespoke. She focuses on respecting user privacy by limiting data collection and profiling. Kristin's goal: To enhance the search experience through comprehensive, unbiased results presented without manipulation for advertising purposes. This user-centric approach has remained core to Freespoke's alternative search model.

[35:06] The Need for Accountability in Big Tech

Kristin agrees that current ad-based business models often prioritize increasing engagement and data harvesting over delivering high-quality, accurate information. She notes these incentives can spread misinformation as companies focus on growth above all else. Kristin advocates for oversight and accountability of these companies' data practices. She believes competition from alternatives like Freespoke is crucial, as it treats individuals ethically while aiming to provide comprehensive results. Kristin hopes Freespoke can help drive positive reform within the industry by demonstrating a consumer-centric model that values people over profits.

Ever wonder how entrepreneurs balance high-growth businesses with personal fulfillment? In this episode, Erik Cabral sits down with Bennett Maxwell, founder of the Dirty Dough cookie franchise. Originally an investor, Bennett took over operations and has grown the business to over 70 locations across multiple states. But rapid expansion came with growing pains.

Bennett shares valuable lessons learned from legal battles, prioritizing infrastructure over outsourcing, and the importance of slowing growth to properly vet systems. You'll also hear how Bennett prioritizes family above all else, even missing an important business meeting to attend his daughter's kindergarten graduation.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Growing a food franchise at lightning speed

• Lessons learned from legal battles and competition

• Prioritizing family over work

Episode Highlights:

[04:20] Slowing Growth for LongevityMassively expanding the franchise too quickly led to issues retrofitting new systems. Bennett wishes he started with a co-packer instead of infrastructure to avoid risks. He now focuses on sustainable growth to continually improve franchisee success.

[13:03] Lessons from Legal Battles in the Cookie Wars

Bennett shares valuable lessons from the legal battles with a competitor, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly vetting branding elements and seeking legal counsel early on. He wishes he had hired a trademark attorney to properly evaluate all aspects of the Dirty Dough name and packaging design to avoid issues down the road, showing other entrepreneurs the importance of protecting their intellectual property from the start.

[20:02] Daughter's Graduation Wins OutMissing his daughter's kindergarten graduation for a meeting wasn't an option. Bennett prioritizes family, setting boundaries to avoid workaholism despite business pressures. His mission is to find joy through challenging times.

[24:59] Embracing Failure to Find SuccessBennett shares how dropping out of premed school to pursue door-to-door sales taught him invaluable business lessons through perceived "failures." Although everyone told him it was a mistake, he saw opportunities to learn from each rejection.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Having a high level of awareness

• Speaking your truth authentically

• Finding your sense of purpose through meditation and reflection

Episode Highlights:

[00:46] Have a High Level of Awareness

Dig deep to understand your strengths, weaknesses, what you care about, your vibe, and who you are as a person. Really knowing yourself allows you to show up naturally instead of putting on a front. You'll have clear ideas about your unique selling points and how you differ from others.

[02:29] Speak Your Truth Authentically

Share your true thoughts without worrying what others might think. While being vulnerable isn't always easy, it shows people the real you, which creates trust with your peeps. This lets you stand out from fake competitors and find fans of your authentic self.

[04:05] Listen with Genuine Curiosity

Show others you care by genuinely paying attention to what they say and asking thoughtful follow up questions to better understand their perspective. This helps you connect more authentically in conversations.

[05:14] Love and Live in Service of Others

Build strong connections through acts of service. While that takes effort, it can significantly benefit your brand by enhancing your reputation and fostering loyalty among those you've helped.

[06:43] Find Your Sense of Purpose Through Reflection and Meditation

Do you hold onto money tightly out of lingering worries about lack?

In a raw conversation with Erik Cabral, David Meltzer recounts hitting absolute rock bottom - renting his home and car after losing everything. It was this failure, David revealed, that taught him life's most important lessons about humility, faith, and embracing mistakes.

Today, David shares powerful lessons on overcoming the past through vulnerability, cultivating gratitude daily despite its challenges, building community around shared life experiences, and reexamining where one's own mindset still clings to scarcity rather than abundance.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Seeking humility, wisdom, and faith

• The power of gratitude

• The power of authenticity

• Building lifelong bonds through shared lessons

• Rethinking scarcity and abundance

Episode Highlights:

[05:35] The Power of Gratitude - Even the Simplest Acts Can Transform Your Life

Business leader David recently shared how just saying "thank you" each day can change your mindset. While expressing gratitude takes mere seconds, it's a foundational principle many successful people practice daily. Yet it's still a struggle for most to consistently show appreciation. David's reminder? Make the small effort to practice gratitude - whether through journaling or simply smiling more - and reap big rewards. After all, gratitude is a gateway to abundance by keeping us focused on life's blessings rather than lack.

[07:27] The Power of Authenticity: How Being Vulnerable Builds Lasting Bonds

David was open about the importance of vulnerability in fostering real connection. By baring his weaknesses and lessons learned, David aimed to help others avoid similar pitfalls through his example of humility. His willingness to openly discuss even ongoing struggles showed that authenticity and transparency build the trust at the core of meaningful relationships.

[11:54] Building Lifelong Bonds Through Shared Life Lessons

David believes in the power of shared experiences to bring people together. If a lesson deeply impacts him, he works to retell it in a way that allows others to relate and draw parallels to their own lives. His goal is to communicate the universal truths that resonated with him in a manner that helps others find similar meaning. Through openly sharing these impactful moments, David aims to cultivate a community of support where people can help each other grow and learn and feel less alone in their challenges.

[14:39] Rethinking Scarcity and Abundance

While you may preach the message of abundance, you too have moments where scarcity creeps in. As David realized, we all fluctuate along a spectrum rather than being fully abundant or lacking. Take his lesson - look within and identify where past scarcity still colors your mindset today. Do you overeat due to childhood memories of empty cupboards? Do you hesitate to spend money due to long-held anxieties around scarcity? By acknowledging these lingering snapshots, you can consciously shift perspectives hindering your path forward. Commit to ongoing self-reflection to dissolve scarcity's grip and more fully embrace abundance.

Are you ready to elevate your life and success to the next level? In this week's episode, Erik Cabral is joined by transformation titan Bucky O'Neill - a two-decade coaching veteran who's facilitated major awakenings around the globe.

Buckle up as Bucky rocks the house with electrifying personal stories from his viral TED Talk, then prepares to launch you to new heights with his proven model for manifesting your highest potential. Listen and don't miss your chance to elevate yourself and manifest your highest vision!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Vibrations, spirituality, and the hippies being right

• Personal growth through sports, meditation, and pivotal programs

• Belief systems, frequencies, and patterns

• The difference between coaching and mentorship

• Pushing past resistance through coaching

• The power of vision and the frequency of vision

Episode Highlights:

[19:32] Raising Humanity's Vibration

Bucky discusses how helping people evolve beyond just fulfilling basic needs for survival, security, and stability to reach self-actualization and higher levels of consciousness allows their innate creativity, relationships skills, and contributions to society to flourish. When operating from an elevated frequency through practices like meditation and spiritual development, humanity's shared vibration rises, bringing out the best in people and creating a better world for all as a result.

[26:13] Pushing Past Resistance Through Coaching

Bucky uses going to the gym as an example of how resistance to change is usually caused by fear. People know they want to get in better shape, but feel uneasy about doing something different. Over time, consistency builds up momentum away from old habits. But most folks get stuck before that point, bogged down by fears and doubts stopping them from taking the first step forward out of their comfort zone. This is why coaching is valuable because the speed in which you can get there is so much faster.

[33:03] The Power of Vision – and the Frequency of Vision

Bucky emphasizes that people often don't fully appreciate the true power of having a vision. It's not just about setting goals or predetermined outcomes - it's about connecting to the emotional frequency or energy that a desired outcome represents for you, even if currently beyond your reach. When envisioning success in different life areas like finances, relationships or well-being, it's less about tangible results and more about tuning into the elevated feeling, vibe or information level associated with fulfilling that vision. This frequency-based approach can provide insights and opportunities beyond what the logical mind can conceive.

Is your brand all over the place? Or are you tired of feeling stuck in the same old personal brand routine? Personal branding master Erik Cabral is spilling his secrets - and it's easier than you think!

Erik is dropping some serious gold, as he shares his top tips for developing a brand people actually connect with. First up, look within to uncover your true self. Next, he teaches how to leverage your strengths when sharing your brand. Not everyone is cut out for video - find your superpower medium! And finally, the key to lasting trust - follow through on promises!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Gain clarity on your core values and message

• Leverage your strengths in communication delivery methods

• Make promises to solve problems for your clients and community

Episode Highlights:

[00:05] Clarity in Communication

Without taking the time for self-reflection to understand your core values and beliefs, how can you expect others to understand your message? The first step is gaining clarity on who you are through meditation and introspection. With a strong foundation of self-awareness, you can then focus on crafting a message that clearly communicates what you stand for to your audience. Having clarity about yourself allows you to navigate life's challenges with confidence and solve problems from a place of authenticity.

[01:31] Leveraging Your Strengths in Delivery

Focus on your natural strengths when choosing a communication method like podcasting, writing, or video. Not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera, so it's key to leverage formats that play to your talents. The options range from written content like blogs and newsletters to audio-only mediums. Go "all in" on your strongest delivery approach rather than spreading yourself too thin across multiple channels. By understanding your unique abilities and preferred styles of conveying information, you can authentically connect with your audience through the right vehicles.

[02:51] Keeping Your Promise

Make clear promises to your audience and be sure to follow through. Whether it's clients, family or friends, people expect commitments when interacting with brands and individuals. Think about how you uniquely solve problems for others and the assurances you can provide. By living up to the promises you make through effective clarity and delivery, you can develop meaningful connections and serve your community with confidence.

Tired of the same old routine and ready to take things to the next level? Then you don't want to miss this throwback chat with power couple Dr. Shawn Dill & Dr. Lacey Book.

As hugely successful coaches and entrepreneurs, Sean and Lacey have helped tons of people and businesses win big. Tune in to hear their best unfiltered advice for developing a growth mindset, strengthening important relationships, and learning to delegate and mentor effectively.

These two know what it takes to succeed, and through their Black Diamond Club community, they've helped many others do the same. Get their top tips for empowering people, expanding your network and taking your game to a whole new level.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Creating an abundance mindset

• Opening yourself to new relationships

• What got them to grow and scale their business

• The power of delegating responsibilities

• Opening yourself to receiving and committing yourself to learning

• Reinvesting your money back into yourself

• The rule of ‘no compromise’ in relationships

• Why the key person in the deal is the synergist

Episode Highlights:

[06:14] Creating an Abundance Mindset

Transformation begins with self-awareness. If you have a negative belief system around money, that is going to hold you back from stepping into true abundance. Therefore, you have to shift your mindset around money and work really hard to stay in that abundance mindset. Believe that you can create and attract wealth into your life, and you have to commit to that belief.

[08:22] Opening Yourself to New Relationships

Opening yourself to new relationships opens the possibility for deeper connection and collaboration among people so you can amplify your message and reach more people. Constantly look for people who have a similar vision for helping other people and whatever message you want to put out to the world. While you will meet the right people, there are also people who will not be the right fit. When that happens, just move on and open yourself again to new relationships.

[16:36] Growing and Scaling Your Business as Partners

A lot of people working together get frustrated when they attempt to come together to become one. They think they have to sit down and both be in charge of the finances and the decisions. But once you figure out the delegation of responsibilities and learn how to utilize each other's strengths, that's how you can amplify your business.

This happens not just with significant others, but also in many partnerships in business. The delegation has to be clear, otherwise, you will end up becoming ineffective, hitting the limitations of growth and scale.

Are you looking to build meaningful connections but don't know where to start? In this episode, Erik Cabral sits down with behavioral scientist and bestselling author Jon Levy, the man behind those elite secret dinner parties, where he brings together over 100 notable guests each year. From cooking meals to swapping stories, Jon has cracked the code on community - and it has nothing to do with status!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• How a book becomes your calling card

• Book marketing and podcasting strategies

• The ripple effects of our social connections

• Using social connections to influence behavior and build community

• Creating community through intimate dinners with famous guests

Episode Highlights:

[06:02] Your Book as an Effective Calling Card

Writing a book can serve as an effective calling card, even if the book itself may not be of the highest quality. For someone like an accountant who specializes in a niche area like serving plumbers, authoring a book about accounting for plumbers would make them the sole credible resource on that topic. When people search for information about accounting for plumbers, their book and name would come up. Simply making the effort to write a book demonstrates the author has deeply considered the issues within their specialized field more than anyone else. In this way, the book can become a very effective calling card that drives new opportunities, according to Jon.

[15:00] How Habits Are Contagious

Jon references a study that found how contagious our habits can be among those in our social circles. He notes the study showed things like happiness, divorce rates, obesity, and even voting habits have been seen to spread between individuals connected to one another. The influence was found to extend up to three degrees - so if you have a friend who exhibits a certain habit, there is a 45% increased chance you will too, your friends who don't know that person have a 20% increased chance, and their friends have a 5% increased chance. This emphasizes how powerful our connections are in influencing one another.

[16:08] Leveraging Influence: How Connecting Others Creates Lasting Bonds

Jon explains his strategy behind the secret dinners. He notes that by bringing together the most influential people in culture and connecting them to each other through the dinners, it causes them to form deeper bonds around him as the host. While acknowledging this is somewhat selfish, Jon argues it benefits everyone involved. When extraordinary individuals are connected to one another, it strengthens the social fabric. And for Jon, by placing himself at the center of this network, he is able to retain these impactful relationships long-term which enrich his own life experience.

Life threw Robert Humble a curveball with a tough divorce, but he didn't let it keep him down. Using mindfulness, therapy, and a hefty dose of self-discovery, Rob picked himself up and rebuilt his life. He ditched the safe route and dived headfirst into entrepreneurship. Now, he's rocking it at the top of his own business, Gatsby Glass.

In this episode, hear all about Rob's epic comeback from personal crisis to real success. If you're looking to bounce back from adversity and rewrite your story, his journey is one heck of an inspiration.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Paying attention to your gut biome

• Overcome limiting beliefs by feeding your mind with positivity

• Believing in your ability to create the life you envision

• Taking leaps of faith and risks by trusting in your potential for success

Episode Highlights:

[12:15] Your Gut Instincts Matter More Than You Think

We've all had moments where our gut told us one thing but our mind went another way. As it turns out, our gut biome influences us greatly. It's time to start listening closer to your body wisdom. Pay attention to subtle feelings in your body - it could save you from "constructs" like societal pressures leading you astray. While thoughts are powerful, don't let them override what your body knows. Make decisions from a place of calm awareness rather than mental chatter. In stressful times, return to your core by checking in with how your gut and body feel.

[22:24] You Are What You Feed

The Cherokee fable that Rob references has deeply impacted his perspective on life. In the story, a grandfather tells his grandson about the two wolves that live within each person - one focused on negativity, the other on positivity. When the grandson asks which wolf wins, the grandfather wisely responds "whichever one you feed." For Rob, this taught him the power we each hold to overcome inner negativity or limitation. By consciously choosing to "feed" the wolf of hope, gratitude, and optimism within yourself, you’re able to shift your mindset and see new opportunities.

[23:26] The Power of Intention

Your thoughts shape your reality. By focusing on a specific vision for your life and believing fully in your ability to manifest it, you open yourself up to new opportunities. When you're aligned in body, mind, and spirit around your goals, the universe has a way of supporting you. Envision clearly where you're headed and maintain an open, grateful mindset – and watch your dreams emerge before you.

Looking for a dose of motivation to break through your own perceived limitations? In this episode, Erik Cabral sits down with Erin Bradley, founder of Pursuing Freedom, a platform dedicated to helping others unlock their potential for success and happiness.

Erin's unconventional journey from waiting tables to building a thriving business and retiring early is proof that you have no idea what you're truly capable of until you start chasing your limitless potential. Tune in to hear Erin share her hard-won lessons on transforming mindset, embracing failure, and living life to the absolute fullest through bold risk-taking and relentless passion for personal growth.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• From teaching English abroad to starting her mortgage career

• How a major financial setback led Erin to hire her first business coach

• Transforming your relationship with money

• Strategies for cultivating limitless thinking in yourself and your kids

Episode Highlights:

[01:57] If Not Now, When?

Erin chose to experience the world after college rather than immediately pursuing a "real job". This led her to take a job waiting tables to save money for travels, where she had adventures like kayaking in Mexico and teaching English in Barcelona. This pivot launched her journey of self-discovery, risk-taking, and a philosophy of living by "why not?" and "if not now, when?" that has shaped her success ever since.

[12:12] Transform Your Relationship with Money

People with a tangible relationship view money emotionally - when they have more money they feel safer and happier, and when savings decrease they feel debilitated. Those with an intangible relationship don't feel as strong of emotions about money and can say things like "I could always make more" or see it as just a means to an end. Erin says understanding where you fall on the spectrum is important, because it impacts how you should set goals. Those more intangible may not feel motivated by income goals alone, while tangible types need goals tied to experiences money can provide.

[32:33] From “I Can’t” to “How Can I?”

Erin discusses an important lesson she teaches her children about changing their language from "I can't" to "How can I?". She explains that saying "I can't" closes the valve to possibilities, while asking "How can I?" opens the valve by shifting to a problem-solving mindset. Erin emphasizes that "can't" is actually a decision that limits ourselves, whereas exploring "How can I?" gets us thinking creatively about solutions instead of roadblocks. This mindset teaching resonates with Erin's overall message of cultivating a growth mindset that believes in limitless potential.
