    Mike’s Bio:

    My name is Mike. And I wouldn’t be here today if not for the wisdom my mom taught me.My mom was a superhero in my eyes. No matter what was happening in my life (or hers) she was always there to lift me up, inspire me to keep going and to always lean into my strengths.I was an overweight teen who made the varsity basketball team and my mom used to cheer me on from the stands with encouragement to “use your strength, Mikey!”. I didn’t understand it then. I do now.

    See, my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school. She radiated love, positivity and empowerment. No matter what was happening, she would always make you feel like the most important person in the room when you spoke. It was a gift. A blessing. When I went to college in Florida my mom got sick again and I had to race home to her bedside. I didn’t know if I would make it but at the last moment, I did. Tears streamed down my face saying goodbye that day. A mark and impression left. Mom waited for me to be by her side before she passed.

    I didn’t know it then, but I do now. Mom was the one who taught me the strength to fight. The strength to let go and the ability to know when each is needed. After her death, I embraced those strengths. I became the District Executive for Vector Marketing, founder of PB&J for Tampa Bay, and the Founder of G.R.A.B. Tomorrow

    I travel the world helping individuals unlock more of their potential. Their own unique strengths. To not allow your greatest insecurities to define you but rather to inspire others and use them as the superpowers they really are. I have been blessed to have trained 4000 individuals to sell $14M in company products, launched a passion project to provide 80,000 meals, self published 9 books on various personal development topics, and be a top-0.5% producer out of 2M sales reps in the 40 year history of the company.

    My career, commitment and purpose is helping people open their mindsets to what’s possible when they fully commit to creating a strong foundation for their lives through tiny actions daily

However, he lost millions when the dot com bubble imploded. This expensive lesson taught Woessner the valuable principle of always measuring the return on investment (ROI) before any action is taken.

    These lessons formed the foundation of his latest company, Predictive ROI. The company is based on a trademarked Web 2.0 method developed by Woessner. Instead of focusing on increasing traffic to a company’s website, Predictive ROI increases the right traffic...the traffic that provides the lowest bounce rate, the traffic that increases conversions...and Predictive ROI measures the increases in traffic and conversions before a single optimized content page is ever created. For example, the social networking aspect of Predictive ROI can increase website traffic by 23 percent and conversion rates by 780 percent.

    Woessner’s practical and tactical training sessions and keynote presentations are exactly aligned with this ROI principle. Attendees have commented that the most valuable benefit is that his processes empower executives, business owners, and managers so they can implement the steps and action plan themselves without needing technical skills.

    Woessner has been quoted in Inc. Magazine, E-commerce Times, B-to-B Online Magazine, Counselor Magazine, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin Public Radio, and other media for his Web 2.0 insights. He frequently teaches training sessions throughout the University of Wisconsin system including the prestigious UW-Madison School of Business.

    Woessner is a bestselling author. His first book is entitled The Small Business Owner’s Handbook to Search Engine Optimization. The book has been ranked as high as #3 on Amazon.com United States, #1 on Amazon.com United Kingdom, and #16 on Amazon.com France for its category. His second book is entitled Increase Online Sales through Viral Social Networking and was released in March. He is currently writing his third book.

    Woessner earned his MBA and Bachelor of Science in marketing from UW-La Crosse. Woessner is also a graduate of Black Hills State University and the Community College of the Air Force. He lives in La Crosse, Wisconsin with his wife and daughter.

  • How heavily do you rely on the knowledge that God will provide? When you feel a nudge to go in an unexpected direction, how quickly are you to listen? Or even investigate that nudge? Meredith Arlinghaus talks about just that. There may be those moments when we think “No way! That cannot be what God is telling me to do.” But when we throw our reliance on Him, we end up right where we are supposed to be. Today’s episode may help you to turn on your listening ears, and tune into what God is nudging you to do.

    In this episode, you’ll discover

    How to have clarity during life's seasons. (3:20)

    Are you listening? (16:15)

    Deleting Social Media. (18:25)

    Meredith’s Bio:

    She was working in a traditional accounting role and felt stifled and burnt out. She was missing out on the best years with her family. And she decided it was time for a change.

    Meredith decided to take some time off to be a mom and started working part-time for a local non-profit that needed accounting support. In doing so, she realized that her skills were having a huge impact on the organization. Word spread about her skills and she began to scale a full-on outsourced bookkeeping, accounting and advisory business – all while spending more time with her family and achieving her financial goals.

    But it didn’t stop there. Soon, Meredith was serving 25+ clients and didn’t have capacity to take on more clients herself despite near-constant requests.

    These business owners had built great businesses, and Meredith wanted to help them experience the freedom to focus on what they do best.

    So she had an epiphany: What if she helped other talented accounting professionals break out from the traditional path and do exactly what she had done?

    And that’s when Empower was born.

    Our mission is simple: Pair busy business owners with world-class accounting professionals so that both can experience the freedom to build a career and a life they love.

    Deleting Social Media. (18:25)

    Origin Story:

    If you asked the three Square Cow owners questions like, Why Texas? Why moving? Why 2008? The answer would likely be the same: family. The quest to start a Texas-based, family-owned moving company back in 2008 was simply a quest to bring their family together. That prevailing purpose allowed them to ignore the Texas heat, the seemingly impossible physical requirements of moving, and the worst recession since the Great Depression.

    In late 2007, their family was scattered and it seemed that everyone was in need of a career change. Wayne, the patriarch of the family, devised a plan. After learning his oldest daughter was moving to Austin, TX with her husband and small children, he persuaded his son, Wade, and son-in-law Derek to uproot their families and head west to the state where everything is bigger. Kicking the tires of several industries, ideas, and businesses lead them to a fateful meeting that forever changed their lives with the idea of starting their own moving company. With just 2 trucks, 3 family members, and a silly name, Square Cow Moovers was born.

    They launched March 1, 2008, to underwhelming results. However, as time passed, the gears of the small business began to grind, and little by little Square Cow grew. Instead of sudden “overnight success”, Square Cow grew by a multiple of one. Meaning, the goal became to move just one more sofa, then hire one more driver, then buy one more truck, and launch one more branch
and so on. That commitment to seeing something through was foundational, and would go on to yield well-deserved success. Today Square Cow spans 2 states with seven branches and hundreds of employees. The family grew, and our herd followed.

  • How vulnerable are you with your kids? How do you encourage them when it comes to their future, goals, or head trash they may have? What are you doing that maybe you aren’t showing them, that could help them become better adults? Today's guest Lantz Howard talks about his intentionality with what he shows his kids when it comes to helping others. Not only that, but how important it is to remember why we do the things we do and adjust as our means change. I pray this episode leaves you encouraged, and excited to share more with your kids.

    In this episode, you’ll discover


    What is your key trait to winning at work and at home? (2:02)

    What are some non-negotiables for his family? (3:57)

    How Lantz was intentional with his daughter, and why he recommends it. (7:20)

    Leaving the security of a paycheck, to become an entrepreneur. (12:00)

    Lantz’s Bio:

    I’m Lantz Howard. Disciple of Jesus, husband to Jessica, father of four amazing girls. I’ve been blessed in life with an amazing family and a career that I love, helping men like myself do the hard work and pursue personal wellness.

    As an executive coach, I can only be effective to the extent that I start with myself. I’ve been on a journey to maximize my own physical, emotional, and spiritual health since long before midlife. I remember moments driving my minivan with my beautiful wife sitting next to me and four little girls under the age of 6 in the back. Life was good, but also felt very full. I loved being in ministry, but I struggled with taking on too much and allowing the perspectives of others to cloud my inner compass. My body started sending me subtle signals that it wasn’t dealing well with the stress: high blood pressure, heartburn, and a severe bout of shingles. I wasn’t burning with purpose: I was burning out.

    “How the hell am I going to handle all this responsibility?” I wondered. Ironically, I was the one leading groups of men with the same struggles, and they were depending on me to help them find the answers. By leaning into the hard times and choosing to lead with courage, I was able to overcome Impostor Syndrome and craft the life I wanted: a strong body, a passionate marriage, a connected family, and a meaningful career path. Once I stopped letting stress, anxiety, and fear be my main motivators, I was able to experience a lifestyle fueled by joy, peace, and purpose.

    The best part of my job is that I get to connect with men like me, tenaciously searching for meaning in midlife. They watch those around them spend midlife coasting, relying on previous momentum, or making bad decisions because they sense a problem but don’t know exactly what it is. My clients are unwilling to settle for anything less than functioning fully alive. They pursue physical health as a way to add vibrant decades to their lives, and emotional health as a means to build strong relationships and keep growing in meaningful ways. I guide people to maximum flourishing in all areas of life.

Trusting in the promptings we receive. Trusting in God. Today’s encouragement is to take time to think about the effects of the hard work you put out, that you don’t see.

    Which promptings do we follow? (28:05)

    Stu and David’s Bio:

    When we (Stuart and David) decided to start a business, our early conversations were not about goals for self-employment, profits, or wealth. The initial conversations were about how to create a faith-based business focused on giving back to the Church and community that would enable financial freedom for its customers and team members. Being active-duty military members at the time of The Kinetic Man Mastermind’s inception, we wanted to focus on serving those who serve this country, hoping to provide a path to financial independence that would give military members options to continue serving or transition from their respective service, a choice based on desire rather than need.

    We have a passion for serving, giving, real estate investing, and enjoy the benefits of owning income-producing real estate. On the foundation of our faith and passions, we knew we could provide a superior experience by simply ALWAYS being honest with our clients and our team. The Kinetic Man Mastermind is the result.
