  Debt Free Is Not Financially Free, Joey Muré On Wealth Without Wall Street

  Sep 26, 202653 min

  What if the plan you were handed (work harder, max out your 401(k), and wait for retirement) is the very thing keeping you from the life you want? In this episode of Winners Find A Way , Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Joey Muré , founding partner at Wealth Without Wall Street, where he helps business owners stop trading time for money by building passive income that exceeds their monthly expenses. By his late 20s, Joey was earning over $300,000 a year in the mortgage industry. On paper, he was winning. In real life, he was working 60 to 70 hours a week and missing his family. One walk down a beach boardwalk, watching his wife and daughters head the other way, showed him that more income was not the answer. Joey and Trent talk about how to define what freedom looks like for you, why retirement can become a deferment of life, and how Infinite Banking lets your dollars do two jobs at once. Joey explains why being debt free is not the same as being financially free, and why the right investment is the one that fits who you are. Joey also shares the hardest decision of his career. He walked away from a $300,000 income, started from zero, and began teaching others what he had learned. Today, he and his business partner Russ have built over $50,000 a month in passive income. This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face adversity. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, grow, and keep finding a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why a higher income is not the same as financial freedom The financial freedom formula: passive income that exceeds monthly expenses How to dream again using the Be, Do, Have framework Why Joey calls retirement a deferment of life The GPS framework: Goal, Plan, and Support Infinite Banking explained in simple terms Why debt free can still mean broke The Investor DNA Profile and choosing passive income that fits you Building a castle and moat so you are ready for the next economic shift Key Takeaways ✨ More income will not buy back your time. Joey earned over $300K a year and still never left the office. Freedom starts when passive income covers your monthly expenses. ✨ Debt free is not financially free. Groceries, utilities, insurance, and daily life never get paid off. If you only focus on debt, you never build the income side of the formula. ✨ Make every dollar do two jobs. Infinite Banking works like a rewards card. You use money you were going to spend anyway, but it works for you first. ✨ Invest like you, not like someone else. What works for someone else may not fit your personality, resources, or values. Know who you are as an investor and go deep.

  Christine Blosdale, The EXPERT AUTHORITY Coach

  Sep 17, 202639 min

  What does it take to become the person people recognize, trust, and turn to as the expert in your field? In this episode of Winners Find a Way , Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Christine Blasdell , five-time #1 bestselling author, former broadcast journalist and radio host, and founder of Expert Authority Coach. Christine shares how entrepreneurs can stop hiding their expertise and start positioning themselves as a trusted authority. Her framework, The Expert Authority CODE , breaks the process into four key pillars: C — Clarity You need to be crystal clear about who you are, who you serve, and what you do . Christine explains that clarity isn't about trying to appeal to everyone. When you know exactly who you are and who you serve, you make it easier for the right people to recognize that you're the person they've been looking for. O — Ownership The next step is owning your expertise. Christine encourages entrepreneurs to recognize their talents, experience, skills, and accomplishments without confusing confidence with arrogance. You don't need to brag. You simply need to acknowledge what you're genuinely good at and confidently stand behind it. D — Delivery Expertise doesn't matter if nobody knows you have it. Christine talks about the importance of finding the right channels to communicate your message, whether that's: Podcasting Video Social media Writing a book Speaking Webinars and workshops Her message is simple: you have to be seen and heard in order to be trusted, and trust creates opportunities to get paid. E — Elevation Christine's final pillar is about recognizing and communicating the accomplishments you've already earned. She shares how she once overlooked her experience working for AOL and Microsoft MSN , even though those recognizable brands added significant credibility to her professional story. The lesson: Look back at what you've already accomplished. Some experiences that seem ordinary to you may be highly valuable to someone else. Don't Give Other People Your Power Christine also opens up about a difficult period in her broadcasting career when another host's behavior caused significant stress and made her consider leaving her career. She explains how changing her perspective helped her regain a sense of control and respond differently to the situation. Trent and Christine discuss how easily people can allow one negative comment, opinion, or criticism to influence their dreams. Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, creator, or professional, the message is clear: don't let someone else's opinion determine what you're capable of pursuing. Your Website May Be Losing You Business Christine also shares one practical marketing lesson every entrepreneur should consider: What happens above the fold on your website? You may only have a few seconds to capture someone's attention when they arrive on your website. Christine recommends using that valuable space to immediately communicate: Who you are What you do Who you help Why someone should trust you What action they should take next One of her favorite approaches is a short welcome video that lets potential clients see your face, hear your voice, and experience your personality and energy immediately. Instead of making visitors dig through pages of copy to understand what you do, make the message clear from the beginning. Key Takeaways Get clear about who you are, who you serve, and what you offer. Own your expertise without confusing confidence with arrogance. Find the communication channels that fit your strengths. Make your accomplishments visible instead of assuming people already know them. Don't allow someone else's criticism to define your potential. Your expertise needs to be seen and heard before people can trust it. Use the space above the fold on your website strategically. A short welcome video can communicate your personality and expertise faster than a long block of website copy. Look back at your experience—you may have more authority than you realize. About Christine Blasdell Christine Blasdell is an Expert Authority Coach, five-time #1 bestselling author, former broadcast journalist, radio producer and on-air host.

  The Future of Main Street: AI, Agentic Commerce & Retail Reinvention with Bryan Weisberg

  Sep 11, 202655 min

  What if the biggest threat to your retail business isn't Amazon — it's an empty product listing? In this episode of Winners Find A Way , Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Bryan Weisberg , founder of 1000 Oak Barrel Co. and founder/CEO of Merchwise AI, author of The Future of Main Street . Bryan built 1000 Oak Barrel Co. from a chance meeting with a father-and-son barrel maker in rural Mexico into a true omni-channel manufacturer, distributor, and OEM supplier — making close to 2 million barrels in 26 years for retailers from wine enthusiasts to Williams Sonoma. Four years ago, a family emergency (his wife's friend's gift shop closing) pulled him into brick-and-mortar retail, and he realized every part of the business, aside from the POS system, was still manual. That gap became Merchwise AI. Trent and Bryan dig into why e-commerce is still only 16% of retail sales despite decades of predictions, the ROPO effect (research online, purchase offline), and how AI can give independent retailers the same advantages as the big players — without retailers needing to run a full e-commerce operation themselves. This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face adversity. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, grow, and keep finding a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: How Bryan built 1000 Oak Barrel Co. into a vertically integrated, omni-channel manufacturer Why brick-and-mortar retail still drives 84% of sales despite the e-commerce boom The ROPO effect and why "invisible losses" are the biggest hidden cost in retail Temporal commerce vs. agentic commerce — and why timing beats price How Merchwise AI automates product listings, merchandising, and social video for retailers Key Takeaways ✨ Retail's biggest cost isn't rent — it's onboarding new product Getting a product properly listed online (title, description, images, metadata) takes hours most retailers don't have. Merchwise AI does it in 20–30 seconds. ✨ You never see your losses, only your wins If a customer searches for your product online and can't find it, they buy elsewhere — and you never know that sale existed. ✨ Temporal commerce beats agentic commerce for meaningful purchases Agentic (automated) commerce works for commodities like toilet paper. But gifts, meaningful purchases, and one-off decisions need context and timing, not just automation. ✨ Change happens one component at a time Like building a winning team, retail transformation isn't instant. Bryan tells retailers to optimize one small piece of the business, then expand from there.

  Relentless Reinvention: How Pat Miletich Became Superhuman

  Sep 4, 202650 min

  What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of willpower — it's what's actually going into your body? On this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Pat Miletich — the first UFC Welterweight Champion, a coach behind 12 MMA world champions, a trainer to military and special forces for over 15 years, and founder of Cell Saviors and Soil Saviors. Pat grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa unable to breathe through wrestling matches and football games, with no doctor able to explain why. He went and found the answer himself — a search that carried him from kickboxing into the UFC, and eventually into 40 years of research on soil health, nutrient depletion, and cellular repair. In this episode, we discuss: How undiagnosed respiratory illness shaped Pat's path from wrestling to kickboxing to the UFC The 10-day protocol that took him from struggling through 3 rounds with a world-champion boxer to sparring a full 10 Why "genetic expression" works the same way in a plant and in a person What depleted, chemically farmed soil is doing to our food, water, and immune systems Why real change starts with fixing yourself before you can lead or help anyone else Connect with Pat Miletich: Website: https://www.soilsaviors.org Connect with Trent M.

  Pressure, Purpose, and the Dream-Truth-Promise Framework: Lessons from Jenison High School

  Aug 28, 202615 min

  In this episode of Winning Ways , Coach Trent M. Clark shares lessons from his recent time with the athletes and coaching staff at Jenison High School—and breaks down a simple framework for turning potential into action. Trent explores three powerful steps: The Dream: Get clear on what you truly want and identify the big goal you're working toward. The Truth: Learn how to actually get there by finding mentors and people who have already achieved what you're pursuing. The Promise: Move from being interested to being committed. Make a clear promise to yourself about what you will do and by when. Trent also discusses handling pressure, preparing yourself to perform at your best, protecting your priorities, and taking intentional action every day. Key Takeaway: Winners don't just dream about what they want—they get the truth, make a commitment, and take consistent action to build their way toward it. Listen in and ask yourself: What is your dream? What is the truth about how you'll achieve it? And what promise are you willing to make to yourself?
