What if clarity isn’t a grand reveal but the courage to take your next right step? We sit down with leadership coach and author David Prosper—“The Clarity Guy”—to trace how a mother’s final words, immigrant perseverance, and a deepened faith shaped a mission to help people break the default loop and live by design. David’s story moves from Fort Lauderdale projects to global stages, but the thread stays constant: align your identity, actions, and service, then build the discipline to do it long enough to matter.

We dig into the default loop—the set of expectations and scripts we inherit and obey for acceptance—and map a better route through David’s clarity archetypes: Wanderer, Seeker, Architect, and Flow Master. You’ll learn how to spot your current stage, how to transition with intention, and why you only need to see the next 400 feet, not the entire highway. David challenges a core limiting belief—“I come from nothing, so I must be nothing”—and replaces it with stewardship: maximize your resources, your network, and your opportunities to serve more, give more, and love more.

If your calendar is packed with “irresponsible yeses,” you’ll appreciate David’s focus on systems: simple SOPs for decisions, ruthless prioritization, and a not‑to‑do list that guards your best work. He also shares his most practical clarity reset—clean your space to clear your mind—plus a refreshing take on Utah’s community and culture, and an audacious mission to help one billion people live by design through books, summits, retreats, and a decision-making app.

When the machines were loud and the room was cold, Holly Porter made a decision she didn’t technically get to make—she chose to come back with purpose. That return set off a chain reaction: a bestselling book with a spine of practical wisdom, a nonprofit reimagined around women leading with purpose, and the bold blueprint for an International Retreat Association the industry didn’t know it was waiting for.

We dive into Holly’s early life in a family where entrepreneurship was normal, not novel, and how real skills—not prestige—powered her career. She shares the hard-earned lessons of running multiple companies while raising eight children: the high of progress, the cost of constant stress, and the honest regret of being everywhere but not present. Her definition of success is disarmingly simple—wake up happy—and it reframes how we think about goals, growth, and what to quit.

Holly walks us through her 70-day hospitalization with COVID, the near-death experience that reshaped everything, and the SHIFT framework she built from it: surrender, hope, intuition, faith, transformation. You’ll hear how Adventure Bucket Wish pivoted from long COVID support to empowering women with purpose, and how Retreat R evolved from an ambitious tech platform into a broader ecosystem play. Most exciting, Holly unveils the International Retreat Association, designed to set professional standards, elevate safety and ethics, and unite retreat leaders, venues, travel pros, attorneys, accountants, and technologists around shared excellence.

Along the way, we explore side gigs versus “real” entrepreneurship, when to pause vs. push, and how to build enterprises that fund philanthropy without burning you out. The thread through it all is service: love people where they’re at, remove judgment, and build systems that outlast you. Subscribe, share this conversation with someone who’s on the edge of a big pivot, and leave a review with the one shift you’ll make this week—what’s your next move?

A small-town kid from Folkston, Georgia sees a Marine in dress blues at a family wedding and decides to change his life. Decades later, Steve Maynard Jr. has worn the E9 chevrons, trained officers, survived six knee surgeries, and walked straight into the identity crisis that follows the uniform coming off. What makes this story compelling isn’t the resume—it’s the pivot. When the doctor said “one more push could cripple you,” Steve cried in his truck, asked for help, and started over with a plan he had quietly built: teaching.

We dig into how setbacks can become strategic pauses. Steve describes “redshirting” after a torn ACL, studying other instructors, and returning stronger. He explains why the path beyond high school isn’t one-size-fits-all: community college bridges, skilled trade licenses, certificates, and four-year degrees each offer routes to competence, income, and purpose. Along the way, we confront the chill around academic freedom and the false claim that classrooms are indoctrination camps. Steve’s antidote is simple and demanding—teach critical thinking, welcome dissent, and help students meet difference without fear.

The conversation widens to men’s mental health and the Men’s Roundtable Series, a weekly space for honest talk, accountability, and growth. Steve shares how brotherhood made room for tears, how calibrated vulnerability becomes strength, and why disagreement can be respectful and productive. Then we get practical about leadership in the digital age: pause before posting, speak with intent, and use silence as a tool. If you’re navigating a transition, questioning the value of college, or craving a healthier model of strength, this is a map with real miles on it.

If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s in a pivot, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway—what part of Steve’s journey hit you the hardest?
