Simplify Your Life, and Off Grid Tiny House Living with Ariel from Fy Nyth
Ariel, along with her husband Clay, their dogs, cats, bees, and poultry, lives in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and they are working on setting up their own new little homestead. She's been living this lifestyle since 2014 and her wonderful partner has joined her more recently. They collect and split wood for heat, source water from a gravity feed out of a natural spring, use a composting toilet, have a small solar setup, and attempt to grow, hunt, or forage as much of their own food as possible between the weather and wildlife. Living a little over 6000 feet above sea level tucked into the mountains means it's a somewhat harsh and cold climate with snow on the ground 8+ months a year and potential frost, freezes, and even snow flurries all summer long. Ariel loves to garden, cook, can/freeze/ferment/dehydrate food, hike and backpack in the mountains, and photograph the tame and wild animals she is surrounded by. And share the skills she has learned with others.

Business Ideas You Never Heard Of | Finding the NEXTLevel
In today's show, we are exploring the unlimited potential for business opportunities. The possibilities are truly endless, and if you can dream it, you can sell it. To illustrate this, I recently reached out to people on Facebook to hear about some uncommon jobs or businesses they have come across, and the responses were fascinating.
One interesting example is the world of professional Sudoku players. Yes, there are people who make a living by playing Sudoku! It just goes to show that any niche interest can be turned into a profitable venture. Another unusual business is that of stock traders who work from the comfort of their homes. It's a testament to the power of technology and how it has enabled new opportunities in the business world.
But let's not stop there. There are even more unconventional ideas worth exploring. For instance, I discovered a full-time broom maker, a profession that might seem antiquated but still has a market. And then there are professional mermaids, individuals who entertain and perform as these mythical creatures. It's a unique concept that has gained traction in certain communities.
Intrigued by the idea of professional mermaids, I decided to dig deeper and found a treasure trove of unusual business ideas. Allow me to share a few with you. How about starting a Cookie Dough Cafe, where customers can indulge in their love for raw cookie dough? Or perhaps an Olive Oil Store, specializing in various flavors and varieties of this sought-after ingredient. And let's not forget the Gourmet Popcorn Shop, bringing a touch of luxury and novelty to everyone's favorite movie night snack.
But we can dive even deeper into the sea of possibilities. Picture yourself running a thriving sea salt business, providing people with a taste of the ocean in every sprinkle. Or imagine creating a salt cave for relaxation, offering a unique experience for wellness enthusiasts. And if you're looking for more action-packed options, consider axe throwing parties, escape rooms, rage rooms, or trampoline parks. The fun and thrill industries are booming!
Now, let's explore some truly one-of-a-kind ventures. How about starting a Football Bowling business, combining the excitement of football with the classic game of bowling? Or opening a Nerf arena, where people can engage in epic battles with foam darts? And if you're a gaming enthusiast, a Game Truck business might be the perfect fit, bringing the joy of video games right to your customers' doorstep.
But wait, there's still more! One business that caught my attention is the Ninja Warrior Gym. Imagine creating a space where people can challenge themselves physically, just like the contestants on the popular TV show. It's a fantastic concept that merges fitness and entertainment.
The bottom line is, when it comes to business opportunities, your imagination is the only limit. You can start a party bus business, become a professional mermaid, run a store selling vintage maps, or even rent out goats to help clear land. The point is, there are no shortage of ideas and opportunities out there. Whether you choose a traditional business or something out of the ordinary, the key is to find something you are passionate about and do good work. With this mindset, the potential for success truly becomes unlimited. So go out there and seize the possibilities that lie ahead.

How to ease your mind as a PERFECTIONIST!! | Finding the NEXTLevel
Today, we're delving into the concept of embracing imperfection and exploring its five big benefits. In a society that places immense pressure on achieving perfection, it's crucial to recognize that perfection is unattainable. While striving for excellence and facing challenges is commendable, expecting constant success is unrealistic. Moreover, the pursuit of perfection often burdens individuals with emotional baggage, increasing the risk of depression and anxiety. However, accepting imperfections can lead to greater happiness and reduced stress.
One significant advantage of embracing imperfection is the diminished power of failure. Perfectionists often internalize failure as a personal reflection on their self-worth, viewing it as a catastrophic event. Understanding that mistakes are a natural part of being human allows for growth and learning, transforming failure into an opportunity to adjust strategies and move towards success.
Additionally, accepting imperfections cultivates kindness and understanding towards others. By being at ease with our own flaws, we are less inclined to judge and criticize others. This fosters peaceful and fulfilling relationships, as we become more willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and forgive minor mistakes.
Another benefit lies in the enhanced self-esteem that comes with embracing imperfection. Perfectionists tend to be incredibly critical of themselves, leading to easily shattered self-esteem. However, acknowledging our humanity and being gentler with ourselves when errors occur fosters a healthier mindset, reducing feelings of guilt and shame. This, in turn, allows for personal growth and an improved sense of self-worth.
Finally, embracing imperfection has the power to inspire others. Recognizing that imperfections are a fundamental part of our shared human experience fosters deeper connections among individuals. By gracefully accepting the ups and downs of life, individuals become role models, emphasizing the value of human connection over material possessions and achievements. This earns them admiration and respect from those around them.
In conclusion, embracing imperfections brings forth numerous advantages. It leads to greater happiness, a reduced fear of failure, kindness towards others, improved self-esteem, and the ability to inspire those on their personal growth journey. As we appreciate the imperfect beauty of being human, let us share these insights with others, encouraging them to embrace imperfection and experience its transformative effects.

10 Characteristics of a Value Driven Person | Finding the NEXTLevel
Mindset Matters live stream. (https://youtube.com/live/M3DNaDe4CY4?feature=share)
Business Made Simple (https://www.amazon.com/Business-Made-Simple-Leadership-Marketing/dp/B0868V7TZG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UPDESCPODGRU&keywords=business+made+simple+donald+miller&qid=1689678234&sprefix=business+made%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1), by Donald Miller
Mindset (https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Carol-S-Dweck-audiobook/dp/B07N48NM33/ref=sr_1_3?crid=31PEQXPEUS5TZ&keywords=mindset&qid=1689678245&sprefix=mindset%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-3), by Carol Dweck
In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of personal and professional development, as we discuss the ten characteristics of a value-driven professional, outlined in Donald Miller's book, Business Made Simple.
First and foremost, as a value-driven professional, it is crucial to recognize your worth and understand that you are an economic product in the open market. This mindset allows you to determine the value you provide and charge accordingly for your services.
Moreover, viewing yourself as a hero rather than a mere pawn in a mission is key to personal growth and fulfillment. By focusing on your own development, you can become the hero of your own story and create a meaningful life.
One important skill that a value-driven professional possesses is the ability to deescalate drama. Conflict is bound to arise in various relationships, and knowing how to address and resolve conflicts effectively is essential.
Feedback is another valuable tool for growth and improvement, and as a value-driven professional, you understand that feedback is a gift. Rather than seeing feedback as a measure of success or failure, it should be viewed as valuable information that guides your future actions.
Conflict resolution is an art that a value-driven professional cultivates. Understanding how to navigate conflict with grace and understanding is crucial, as conflict is inevitable in any setting.
While it may be tempting to strive for popularity, a value-driven professional prioritizes being trusted and respected over being liked. Building trust and earning respect should be the focus, even if it means not being everyone's favorite person.
Taking action is paramount for progress and results. While planning and strategizing are important, ultimately, actions drive growth and success.
Avoiding confusion and making clear decisions is another characteristic of a value-driven professional. Often, confusion is a choice, and letting go of it is necessary for growth and success.
Relentless optimism is a trait that a value-driven professional embodies. Seeing challenges as opportunities and constantly seeking new possibilities are essential for growth and maximizing present opportunities.
Lastly, a growth mindset is a fundamental aspect of being a value-driven professional. Embracing challenges, learning from failures, and continuously seeking self-improvement are all part of this mindset.
To delve deeper into these concepts, we invite you to visit our YouTube channel, where we recently hosted a live stream titled "Mindset Matters." Additionally, you can find links to all the recommended resources and books mentioned in the show notes.
By embodying these characteristics, you can become a value-driven professional who continuously works towards personal and professional growth. Remember, it's about being 1% better every day and doing good work.

Tuning Out the Noise: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this thought-provoking episode, I delve into the topic of noise that engulfs our society today. While many may dismiss certain things, like Switchfoot's music, as mere noise, I personally find solace in their melodies. Nevertheless, the central issue at hand is the overwhelming amount of noise that surrounds us. From the incessant stream of news and weather updates to the influence of social media and the constant scrolling, it can feel as though we are immersed in a never-ending cacophony. At times, I even question whether my own podcast merely contributes to this collective noise or if it serves a more significant purpose.
If you find yourself suffocating under the weight of this noise, if you struggle to find moments of tranquility or repose, if your mind is consumed by stress and you are constantly racing against time, then I implore you to silence this noise. Your well-being takes precedence over the number of listeners my podcast obtains. I do not want this podcast to be another source of noise in your life. Instead, I want you to reflect on the various sources of noise that surround you - the websites you frequent, the social media groups you engage with - and consider eliminating certain forms of noise, even if it means excluding my podcast. I wholeheartedly support that decision. Instead, redirect your focus towards embracing a calmer, more purposeful existence.

6 Hacks for Maximizing Your Day | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this episode, we dive into six hacks to help you manage your time effectively like a pro. We all know the importance of time management, but it's not about managing time itself; it's about managing ourselves within the time we have. So, let's explore these six strategies that you can implement today to optimize your time.
First, it's crucial to leave some wiggle room between your time blocks. It's easy to fill our calendars with consecutive tasks, but we often forget to account for breaks or unforeseen delays. By incorporating buffer time, you'll not only avoid exhaustion but also increase your overall productivity.
Next, getting organized is key. While most of us may not be naturally organized, taking the time to organize ourselves in advance can save us from wasting hours searching for misplaced items. Studies show that, on average, Americans waste about two and a half days each year on such endeavors. Imagine what you could accomplish by simply being organized.
The third hack involves applying the 80-20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle. According to this rule, 80% of your results stem from 20% of your actions. Identify the actions that bring you the most significant outcomes and focus on them. Consequently, eliminate the unnecessary actions that don't contribute to your goals.
Moreover, instead of wasting time while waiting, make every minute count. Rather than mindlessly scrolling through social media or performing trivial tasks, utilize that waiting time productively. Work on quotes for clients, draft social media posts, listen to a podcast, or read a book. Transform those moments into valuable opportunities.
Fifth, organize your tasks in blocks. Time blocking is an effective method to enhance productivity. By grouping similar tasks together, you reduce repetition and become more efficient. For instance, dedicate specific periods during your day to check emails or manage social media. This way, you avoid switching between unrelated tasks and optimize your workflow.
Lastly, consider doing less. It's common to take on more than we can handle, resulting in subpar outcomes both in our professional and personal lives. Instead, focus on the tasks at which you excel and delegate or eliminate the rest. Spreading yourself too thin leads to disappointing others because you overpromise and underdeliver. It's better to do fewer things but do them exceptionally well.
By implementing these six time management hacks, you'll become more productive and proficient in managing your time. Incorporate buffer time, get organized, follow the 80-20 rule, make waiting time productive, organize tasks in blocks, and strive to do less in order to achieve more.

The Foundations Principle - with James Bierbrauer
Most Christians don't understand how to affect real change + transformation in their personal lives or businesses.
They expend huge amounts of time, money, effort + energy on developing certain areas or fixing particular problems, but they struggle to see + sustain long-term results.
That’s because most people don’t understand the FOUNDATIONS principle; they don’t understand how change + transformation in God’s kingdom work. As a result, they fail to experience the qualities of an abundant life like ease, grace + flow that Jesus promised us.
Understanding this #1 Kingdom change + transformation weapon is an 80/20 power lever on steroids for those looking to fight / work SMARTER so they can experience REAL change + transformation in their lives, like permanent breakthrough, consistent personal growth, and sustainable business development.

Get your DISC personality profile (https://keneash.com/disc).
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of personality profiles and how they can enhance both our personal lives and businesses. I, as a firm believer in the power of personality profiling, am particularly drawn to the DISC personality profile, which has greatly enriched my relationships and various aspects of life. In fact, I am even certified in it! Therefore, in the future episodes, I have decided to dedicate some time to discussing each personality profile in detail and offering insights into how they manifest in different situations.
The DISC personality profile consists of four main personalities: the D, I, S, and C. The D personality is characterized by their focus on what is happening and their need for control. They often stand out in a group due to their dominance. On the other hand, the I personality is concerned with who will be involved and craves recognition. They thrive on interaction and enjoy socializing. The S personality approaches things by considering how they will be done and their need for appreciation. They are usually supportive of others and seek support for themselves. Lastly, the C personality is driven by the question of why things need to be done and their need for quality answers. They strive for correctness and are often right.
To help visualize these personalities, let's consider the types of cars they might choose. The D personality, with their focus on dominance and status, would likely opt for a powerful and luxurious car that reflects their position. The I personality, being social and fun-loving, would prefer a sporty car that allows them to be seen and make an impact. The S personality, who values support and comfort, would likely select a family car that provides ample space and ensures the well-being of everyone. Finally, the C personality, prioritizing correctness and value, would be drawn to a highly-rated car that offers the best cost-effectiveness.
Understanding these different personality types becomes incredibly valuable when navigating interactions with others. By recognizing someone's personality type, we can effectively communicate and tailor our approach to meet their specific needs. Whether it's in personal relationships or sales, adjusting our language and actions to resonate with someone's personality can make all the difference. If you're intrigued by this topic, I encourage you to check out episodes 21 to 25, where we delve deeper into DISC and its intricacies. Additionally, you can find a link in the show notes to get your own personality profile and gain a better understanding of how you interact with others.

The Essential Rules for Engagement: Building Strong Relationships | Finding the NEXTLevel
In this part of our conversation, we delve into the rules of engagement that I learned from one of my esteemed mentors. These rules are invaluable in helping us show up fully in every interaction, particularly when it comes to developing strong client relationships.
The first rule that I learned is to lead with love. This emphasizes the importance of approaching others with empathy and compassion, treating them as we would want to be treated ourselves. By embracing this mindset, we can create a positive and supportive environment that fosters trust and connection.
The second rule is to be curious first and critical second. This encourages us to approach conversations and disagreements with an open mind, seeking to understand the perspectives of others before passing judgment. By doing so, we can foster meaningful dialogue and build bridges of understanding.
Next, we explore the concept of being a learner rather than a knower. This rule reminds us to always remain humble and open to new knowledge. No matter how experienced or knowledgeable we may be, there is always room to learn and grow. By adopting a learner's mindset, we can continuously improve ourselves and stay receptive to new ideas.
The fourth rule highlights the importance of finding the gift or lesson in every situation. Even when faced with challenges or setbacks, there is always an opportunity for growth and learning. By maintaining a positive outlook and looking for the lessons, we can transform difficult situations into valuable experiences.
Moving on to the fifth rule, we discuss the practice of full presence listening. This involves giving our undivided attention to others during conversations, actively engaging in what they have to say. By eliminating distractions and truly listening, we can foster deeper connections and understand people on a more profound level.
The sixth rule encourages us to share wisdom rather than merely dispensing good advice. This means drawing from our own experiences and offering insights that have been truly earned. By sharing our wisdom with others, we can provide valuable guidance and help them navigate their own journeys.
The seventh rule emphasizes the importance of win-win interactions or no deal at all. When engaging with others, it is crucial to seek mutual benefit and strive for outcomes that satisfy everyone involved. By focusing on win-win scenarios, we can build stronger relationships and foster a spirit of collaboration.
Lastly, we explore the eighth rule, which revolves around honoring immersion. This means eliminating distractions and fully immersing ourselves in the present moment, whether it be during conversations or in our work. By practicing mindfulness and being fully present, we can make the most of each experience and cultivate a deeper sense of fulfillment.
In conclusion, remembering and embodying these rules of engagement can greatly enhance our interactions and relationships with others. By leading with love, embracing curiosity, staying open to learning, finding the lessons in every situation, practicing full presence listening, sharing wisdom, seeking win-win outcomes, and honoring immersion, we can create meaningful connections and contribute to a more harmonious world.

Pushing Boundaries: The Challenges of Operating Outside Your Natural Personality Style | Finding...
In this episode, we dive into the question of whether someone can operate in a personality style that's not their natural style over an extended period of time. Initially, I believed that doing so would inevitably lead to burnout. However, upon further reflection, I've come to realize that it is indeed possible to temporarily adopt a different personality style if the people around you are accommodating.
When those around you allow and support you to be that type of person, it becomes much more manageable to operate outside of your natural style, even if it clashes with others. However, it's important to note that in the long run, constantly functioning in a style that is not inherent to you will drain your energy and make sustainability nearly impossible.
That being said, if those around you are willing to acquiesce and follow your lead, it becomes much more feasible to take on a different personality style for a shorter period. For example, if you're naturally supportive and giving but have to temporarily operate in a more assertive and demanding role, it can be done. However, if you consistently face conflict and opposition from individuals with strong personalities, it won't lead to long-term success.
Therefore, it is crucial to have a supportive environment that allows you to operate in the necessary style. If those around you aren't supportive, navigating the situation can be challenging. Nevertheless, with the right support, it's possible to adapt and produce good work in a different personality style than your natural one.
