From drinking too much, smoking too much, and barely managing money in corporate to mastering hypnosis and building a $7M business training 10,000+ people across 18 countries—Shane Fozard's transformation started with one weekend course that let him quit drinking and smoking in just 2.5 days. But the real breakthrough wasn't the hypnosis technique—it was discovering that 90% of what drives our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings happens subconsciously, like an iceberg where we only see 10% above water. Working as a national sales and operations manager running 45-50 people, Shane looked successful on the outside while sabotaging himself behind the scenes, always in debt, relationships failing, justifying his habits by comparing himself to friends who were worse. 

This conversation exposes why smart entrepreneurs sabotage their own success: subconscious patterns inherited from parents, limiting beliefs operating like toxic friends you don't realize are holding you back, and the challenge of being "out of perspective" on what's truly driving your decisions. Shane reveals his framework for scrambling limiting beliefs (the word belief literally contains "lie"—a belief is a lie that works until it doesn't), why he had to rewire his belief that "all women are crazy" by flipping it to "I'm crazy for thinking that," and the exact process anyone can use to identify, challenge, and replace beliefs about money, sales, or success that are keeping them stuck. You'll discover the CEO Shane vs Worker Shane productivity framework that forces self-accountability.

Who is Shane Fozard:
Shane Fozard is a hypnotherapist, business strategist, and founder of Booknotic who has trained over 10,000 people across 18 countries and generated more than $7 million in sales by fusing transformation psychology with entrepreneurship systems. Originally working in corporate as a national sales and operations manager running 45-50 people and competing against 15 others for promotions in 2,000-person companies, Shane looked successful on paper while struggling with drinking, smoking, debt, and failed relationships behind the scenes.

As creator of Booknotic, Shane developed a hypnotic super-learning platform that condenses bestselling books into 20-minute audio programs using neuroscience and optimized learning principles—turning 15 hours of reading into 60 minutes of installation (as close to Matrix-style "plugging in" knowledge as currently exists).

"Break down your day and all the things that you do. Which ones do you love so much that you get energy from, even if you're tired? The other ones, who can you actually delegate to?"

@carlypepin reveals the simple exercise that transforms overwhelmed leaders into energized visionaries 💡

The pattern: You're doing everything. Some tasks light you up—even when you're exhausted, they give you energy. Other tasks drain you, making you resentful and burned out. But you keep doing them all because you think you have to.

The breakthrough exercise: Break down your day, then your week. Look at all the tasks. Mark the ones you love so much they energize you even when tired. Everything else? "Let's look at those dynamics and who can you actually delegate to?"

The wisdom: "When you have a company, especially a larger company, it's really wisdom to find out who has the best role for the things that you like. It's not going to be you. However, someone in the company is going to be the person who loves it the way you love other things."
This isn't just about productivity—it's about human behavior dynamics. When you understand yourself and the individuals working under you, you can match tasks to passion: "This is perfect for so and so." What drains you fuels someone else. What bores them excites you.

Stop doing everything. Start doing what you're uniquely designed for.

Imagine having multiple degrees, a thriving corporate career in finance, and all the external markers of success—yet lying awake at night wondering "is this really it?" You've checked every box society told you would bring happiness, but instead of fulfillment, you feel stuck in cycles of overworking, proving your worth through exhaustion, and chasing achievements that never feel enough. 

Egle's journey from finance to consciousness work reveals a fascinating pattern: she was good with numbers, ambitious, worked on transformation projects, but kept hitting invisible walls. She felt there was so much more possible, so much faster and easier, but something unseen was holding back progress. 

Who is Egle Aleknavičiūtė:
Egle Aleknavičiūtė is a wealth and purpose strategist who helps visionary leaders break free from limiting beliefs around money and achievement to build businesses rooted in clarity, alignment, and authentic power. With a background spanning multiple degrees and a thriving corporate career in finance, Egle was the perfect picture of external success—ambitious, good with numbers, working on transformation projects—yet she kept hitting invisible walls that prevented faster, easier progress despite knowing more was possible. 

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your Subconscious Controls 95% of Your Success (And You're Ignoring It) - Egle reveals that subconscious mind is around 95% of all thoughts and feelings every day, existing beyond logic and strategy. 

The External Validation Trap: Stop Performing and Start Embodying Success - The most damaging limiting belief plaguing high performers is external validation.

Fear Drives Hard Work But Destroys Long-Term Vision - Egle exposes why so many entrepreneurs work themselves to exhaustion without achieving fulfillment: their hard work is driven by fear, not trust. 

Theta Healing: How to Rewire Limiting Beliefs at the Root - Egle's primary method for transformation is Theta Healing, a certified modality that works with the subconscious through meditation and consciousness travel. 

Deathbed Regrets and the Made-Up Work Rhythms We Believe - The most sobering reframe Egle offers comes from deathbed research: people interviewed at end of life about biggest regrets never say "I regret time with family, holidays, or social life"—they universally say "I regret I worked so hard."

John Knowlton's journey from scaling through mergers and acquisitions to creating a revolutionary "shared governance" wealth model destroys the traditional estate planning approach that fails families generation after generation. Instead of keeping wealth secret until death and leaving kids unprepared to handle massive inheritance, John invited his adult children into managing family wealth together right now, creating a family board with mission, vision, values, and committees where his daughter runs philanthropy and they all learn to be stewards while he's alive to guide them. 

Who is John Knowlton:
John Knowlton is a multi-generational wealth builder, author, and former wealth management CEO who built and sold a billion-dollar business before age 52, then took a year-long sabbatical that completely transformed how he views success and legacy. Starting his career by "stumbling into" wealth management after being rejected for numerous jobs (he was painting apartments to put food on the table), John spent over a decade mastering mergers and acquisitions—learning to buy wealth management firms in chunks rather than building client-by-client. In 2015, he and his partner set an aggressive goal to reach $1 billion in assets under management. 

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Shared Governance Prevents Generational Wealth Destruction - Traditional estate planning documents values in trust documents but fails to transfer the skills and traits that built wealth. John's revolutionary model: kids are technically disinherited (Knowlton Family Trust is beneficiary), but they're invited into managing wealth together NOW while he's alive to guide them. 

The Dinner Table is Your Primary Wealth Transfer Mechanism - John and his wife insisted on family meals virtually every day, not to eat food but to communicate and transmit values. 

Selfish Thinking Destroys, Other-Focused Thinking Builds - From his jail chaplain work, John saw the pattern: inmates focused entirely on themselves ("I want to be different so I didn't have a job and stole money," "I used crack to do my job and can't understand why they arrested me"). 

Weekly Meetings Create Trust and Prevent Money Conflict - John and his wife have weekly meetings since before kids: review calendar for next 7 days in detail (who's driving kids where), plan meals (he can tell you what they're eating Friday and who's cooking), discuss money. When money was tighter, they talked about it weekly (bills coming up, money coming in, tithes to pay). 

Success is Purpose Fulfillment, Not a Finish Line - John sold at 52 with plenty of money but realized during his year-long sabbatical that work provides three essentials: purpose (something to do), meaning (stewarding something for others), and social contact.

From helping people overcome homelessness and addiction in Pennsylvania's poorest neighborhoods while barely scraping by himself to unlocking 3 million travel rewards points and world travel for his family—Tim Walker's story destroys the myth that meaningful work requires financial sacrifice. Working on the frontlines of poverty alleviation in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Tim found himself perpetually crushed under compassion fatigue with zero resources to get away and recharge. Every year his family had to beg and borrow just to afford basic vacation. Then he discovered travel hacking, earning 1.2 million points in his first nine months alone, turning a $25,000 two-week European anniversary trip into completely free using strategic credit card systems. Now as founder of Travel Multiplier, he teaches others how to leverage points for luxury travel while maintaining their mission without burnout.
Who is Tim Walker:
Tim Walker is the founder of Travel Multiplier and a lifestyle optimization expert who has mastered the art of combining frontline community impact with strategic travel freedom. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Tim moved to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 2008 where he's spent 14 years working in nonprofit poverty alleviation and community development—living intentionally in the city's poorest neighborhood alongside people in recovery from homelessness, addiction, and incarceration. 

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your Mission Will Rarely Be Healthier Than You Are - Frontline community development work has massive burnout rates because leaders are always pouring out and never being replenished. 
Travel Hacking = Strategic Credit Card Rewards for Free Luxury Travel - Tim earned 3 million points worth approximately $50,000+ in travel value using strategic systems, not luck.
Surround Yourself With Peers, Mentors & Counselors - Tim's secret to sustainable impact through 14 years of intense community work: intentional community on three levels. Peers who understand your season of life/family/leadership without explanation.
Refuse to Trade More Time for More Money - Tim could have gotten a second job anytime during his 14 years in underpaid community development work, but refused because he knew it would burn him out. 
Build Scalable On-Demand Systems That Work While You Sleep - Tim positioned Travel Multiplier as online, on-demand, evergreen content where people can enroll anytime without him showing up live.
