In this conversation, Scott Maeder shares his journey from teaching to becoming a financial and leadership coach. He discusses the importance of understanding money mindsets, making intentional choices, and the role of life events in prompting change. Scott emphasizes the difference between being busy and being productive, the challenges of leadership, and the significance of personal growth in the human experience.

Takeaways Scott Maeder transitioned from teaching to coaching, leveraging his educational background. Understanding money is more about mindset than just numbers. Prioritizing and making intentional choices are crucial for financial success. Life events can serve as catalysts for significant change. Being busy does not equate to being productive; intentionality matters. Leadership requires specific skills that are often overlooked in promotions. Personal growth is a continuous process that requires effort and reflection. Accountability is essential for making lasting changes in behavior. The way we handle one aspect of life often reflects in others. Finding one's purpose is key to living a fulfilling life.

Dr. Joseph "Joey" Drolshagen shares how growing up in a low-income family shaped his early beliefs about success and struggle, leading him to pass up major opportunities in his youth due to a lack of self-worth. He developed the Subconscious Mindset Training (SMT) method after years of personal exploration, helping individuals identify and shift subconscious programming that holds them back from rapid business growth and fulfillment.

The SMT method emphasizes creating a dynamic vision for life and business, tailored to each person’s unique desires and habits, rather than following one-size-fits-all strategies. By focusing on awareness, alignment, and accelerating positive habits, Dr. Joey empowers clients to achieve record-breaking results while living more authentically and sustainably

John Horsfield, founder of Outlaw Research Labs, discusses the real risks and responsibilities of artificial intelligence, arguing that AI itself isn’t the existential threat—rather, it’s how humans choose to use it. He shares eye-opening stories of widespread insecurity in popular AI platforms, the inevitability of bad actors exploiting open-source models, and the urgent need for shared responsibility between companies, users, and developers.

John advocates for education, open source transparency, and using AI as a guide rather than an unchecked decision-maker. The episode delivers practical advice for securing AI systems and highlights the importance of empathy and collective action in the age of advanced technology
