Mindset Matters - Episode #175 - Integrity: WTF? I'm Confused! Mar 06, 2025

In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany Hanlen Francey take a deep dive into the meaning of integrity—one of the most frequently cited core values, yet often misunderstood. They challenge listeners to redefine integrity, moving beyond societal judgments and external expectations to a deeply personal standard: Are you living in alignment with your own values?

The discussion opens with a powerful observation: integrity often appears on people’s top values list, yet many operate outside of it—consciously or unconsciously. Patrick and Steffany break down the idea that integrity isn’t about how others perceive you but rather how truthful you are with yourself. They explore real-life examples of how misalignment with one’s values can manifest in stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction, whether in personal relationships, career choices, or even everyday habits.

Using the concept of structural integrity, they draw a parallel between maintaining a solid foundation in architecture and staying true to one’s internal framework. Just as a bridge collapses when its integrity is compromised, so too does personal well-being when one’s actions contradict their core beliefs. The hosts also examine the role of societal and professional pressures that push individuals to make choices misaligned with their values—such as career decisions made out of financial necessity rather than passion and authenticity.

This episode also delves into the nuanced challenges of integrity in modern workplaces, particularly within the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Patrick and Steffany offer insights into the emotional and ethical dilemmas that arise when individuals feel forced to compromise their values to fit external frameworks.

Through engaging storytelling and real-life scenarios—including the inspiring story of a golfer who upheld integrity at great financial cost—this episode encourages listeners to take a personal integrity check. Patrick and Steffany emphasize that while making integrity-driven choices can be difficult and even lonely at times, the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term discomfort.

Tune in to Mindset Matters for an eye-opening conversation that challenges you to reflect on your own values, question societal definitions of integrity, and take ownership of living in alignment with who you truly are.

Mindset Matters - Episode #174 - From Feedback to Flourishing: How Frustration Fuels Personal Growth Feb 27, 2025

In this enlightening episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the transformative power of frustration. They reveal that frustration isn’t merely a negative emotion—it’s a powerful feedback mechanism signaling unmet expectations and misaligned values. According to the conversation, frustration often arises when our internal expectations, whether about ourselves or others, go unfulfilled. This physiological response, they explain, is a crucial cue that something needs attention and adjustment.

Patrick and Steffany explore how both personal and interpersonal frustrations are rooted in our assumptions and unspoken expectations. They highlight that when we become frustrated—whether it's due to a partner’s differing values, a slow learning curve, or even larger societal issues like political decisions—it is often a call to examine what we truly need. Instead of letting frustration evolve into anger, the hosts suggest taking a moment to pause and ask, “What do I need that I’m not getting?” This introspection helps shift the focus from blaming external factors to owning our emotional responses.

With a blend of humor and real-life anecdotes, the conversation touches on topics ranging from relationship dynamics to the challenges of personal growth. They discuss how our frustration in everyday interactions—like those fueled by small talk or miscommunication—can serve as a stepping stone toward better communication and self-improvement. The episode also delves into the idea that, in a world full of unmet expectations, embracing and processing frustration is essential for building resilience and fostering a growth mindset.

Ultimately, Patrick and Steffany empower listeners to reframe frustration as a constructive force. By acknowledging and addressing the unmet needs behind their frustration, individuals can pave the way for enhanced self-awareness, improved relationships, and lasting personal growth. Tune in to discover practical coaching tips and insights that will help you transform frustration into an opportunity for change.

Mindset Matters - Episode #173 - The Psychology of Meaning: Why Hope & Purpose Matter Feb 20, 2025

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the psychology of meaning and how our present influences both our past and future. Drawing on insights from renowned psychologists Dr. Roy Baumeister and Dr. Kathleen Vohs, they explore the idea that present events derive meaning from their connection to future outcomes.

The conversation touches on the growing disconnection in society and how an uncertain future impacts our sense of purpose. With rising rates of depression, suicide, and social isolation, many people are struggling to find meaning in a world that feels increasingly divided. Patrick and Steffany examine the shift from community-based happiness to individual pleasure-seeking and its effect on overall well-being.

They also discuss the impact of global and personal tragedies, including the recent loss in the figure skating community, and how grief is deeply tied to meaning. Steffany shares her perspective on grief as "stuck love" and emphasizes the importance of processing emotions, reconnecting with purpose, and moving forward with intention.

In a time of rapid change, the couple highlights the necessity of cultivating hope, building community, and embracing conversations that inspire growth. Patrick also shares his excitement about his new role with McKay CEO Forums, a platform dedicated to fostering meaningful connections among business leaders.

Mindset Matters - Episode #172 - Pleasure vs. Happiness: Why You Might Be Chasing the Wrong One Feb 13, 2025

In this episode, Patrick and Steffany explore a thought-provoking question: Are we truly happy, or are we just chasing pleasure? While many people confuse the two, they explain how happiness is an internal, long-term state, while pleasure is a short-lived external high that can leave us feeling empty once it fades.

Patrick and Steffany discuss how modern society—especially social media—has amplified the addiction to pleasure through instant gratification. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok provide constant dopamine hits, often tricking us into believing we're happy when, in reality, we're just on an emotional rollercoaster. They highlight the science behind it: pleasure is fueled by dopamine, while true happiness comes from serotonin. Ironically, excessive dopamine suppresses serotonin, making lasting happiness harder to attain.

Through personal reflections and real-world examples, they unpack how many of us unconsciously seek pleasure in shopping, binge-watching, or even the pursuit of external validation. They also touch on how industries—like social media, gambling, and even retail—are designed to keep us hooked on pleasure.

Steffany shares insights from working with athletes, noting how social media "fasts" help competitors stay present and avoid the distractions of external validation. The episode also explores the importance of purpose, relationships, and self-awareness in cultivating happiness.

The key takeaway? Pleasure is easy, but happiness is earned. By prioritizing deep connections, personal growth, and meaningful contributions, we can shift from seeking fleeting pleasure to cultivating lasting happiness.

Tune in for a powerful conversation that challenges us to reflect on what truly makes us happy.

Mindset Matters - Episode #171 - Is Life Even Fair? Feb 06, 2025

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive into the loaded concept of fairness. They unpack how “fair” is often used in political, business, and personal conversations, yet its meaning is highly subjective.

Patrick kicks off the discussion with a provocative example: a financial agreement where one party lends money at an agreed interest rate, only to later feel shortchanged when the borrower makes a significant profit. The scenario highlights how fairness can shift depending on perspective, emotions, and unforeseen outcomes.

The hosts explore the distinction between fairness, evenness, and merit. Steffany points out how fairness is often misinterpreted, such as in sports when coaches say they will distribute ice time fairly—but not necessarily equally. Similarly, in society, politicians use the word to push an agenda, but are they really advocating fairness or simply playing with language to appeal to emotions?

They also touch on how fairness—or the lack of it—creates victim mentalities. If fairness is a core value, then feeling deprived or overlooked can be a frequent and frustrating experience. Instead, Steffany suggests shifting the focus from fairness to possibility, embracing personal responsibility rather than waiting for an even playing field.

The episode ties fairness back to relationships, work, and personal growth, urging listeners to examine where they feel things are “unfair” and whether assumptions, miscommunications, or unspoken expectations are at play. Ultimately, Patrick and Steffany challenge listeners to redefine fairness for themselves and recognize how it shapes their mindset, decisions, and sense of fulfillment.

Is life truly fair? Or is it about agreements, perception, and perspective? Tune in and decide for yourself.

Shaahin and Patrick discuss the importance of knowing yourself—your strengths, weaknesses, and the fabric of who you are to make informed decisions and lead a fulfilling life.

Mindset Matters - Episode #170 - Trust After Forgiveness: Is It Possible? Jan 30, 2025

In this heartfelt episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey dive deep into the themes of trust, forgiveness, and self-responsibility. Opening with the timeless quote, “To err is human, to forgive divine,” they explore what it means to forgive when trust has been broken and how to rebuild relationships through the art of healing.

Patrick shares a powerful parable of a master who mends a broken clay pot with golden resin, symbolizing how forgiveness is the glue that binds us together when trust shatters. This concept aligns with the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where cracks in pottery are repaired with gold, creating something more beautiful and meaningful than before. Through this lens, Patrick and Steffany discuss how the scars of broken trust can carry valuable lessons while still leaving their mark.

The conversation touches on the nuances of trust—whether broken intentionally, unintentionally, or due to misunderstandings. Steffany introduces the "Assumption of Trust," an exercise that challenges listeners to examine their own trustworthiness and values. They reflect on real-life scenarios, from personal relationships to business dynamics, emphasizing the need for clear communication and self-awareness to prevent misunderstandings and unmet expectations.

Forgiveness, they argue, is not about forgetting or excusing harm but about releasing the emotional weight we carry. Through poignant anecdotes, including stories of parents forgiving unimaginable losses, they underscore the importance of forgiveness as a gift we give ourselves to reclaim peace and healing.

The episode closes with a reminder: forgiveness begins within. Whether seeking it for others or granting it to ourselves, letting go of resentment is essential for emotional freedom and well-being. Trust and forgiveness are not just actions—they are ongoing practices rooted in our values and choices.

Mindset Matters - Episode #169 - The Resilience Blueprint: Five Traits to Become Unstoppable Jan 23, 2025

In this engaging episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the profound connection between language, resilience, and personal growth. The conversation begins with the intriguing word "abracadabra," which they reveal is derived from Hebrew, meaning "as I speak, so I create." This sparks a thoughtful dialogue on how words shape our reality, serve as our "wardrobe" to the world, and influence the outcomes we manifest.

The hosts shift focus to the theme of resilience—a critical quality for thriving amidst life’s challenges. Steffany shares her expertise in emotional resilience, distinguishing it from mental toughness, and emphasizes its application across various areas of life, including physical, relational, financial, and spiritual domains. Patrick highlights the importance of adaptability, self-awareness, purpose, and a strong support system as foundational elements of resilience.

The duo dives deeper into how adversity plays a vital role in building empathy and compassion. They discuss how a lack of early challenges can hinder emotional growth and contrast it with the profound lessons learned through overcoming hardships. Steffany shares insights from her coaching experience, including her method of "manufacturing adversity" to prepare athletes for real-world challenges.

The episode also touches on resilience in community settings, referencing recent wildfires in California. The discussion underscores the importance of leaning on support systems and the courage it takes to ask for help during trying times. The hosts advocate for embracing adversity as a muscle that needs training, much like physical fitness, to foster emotional strength and self-reliance.

Ending on a positive note, Steffany reminds listeners to prepare for the worst, expect the best, and always leave room for magic. This episode is a powerful reminder that resilience, like the magic of words, can transform lives when nurtured with intention and purpose.

They kick things off with a candid moment, reflecting on how even small conflicts can lead to growth when addressed constructively. Their conversation highlights that happiness isn't a destination but a byproduct of moving forward and aligning with your values.

Central to their discussion is the idea that progress fuels our sense of satisfaction and purpose. Drawing on stories like Alexander the Great’s Gordian knot and insights from personal and professional experiences, they emphasize that progress often requires creative thinking, bold action, and the courage to challenge norms.

Steffany adds a nuanced perspective by linking progress to measurable milestones, whether in personal goals or professional endeavors. From athletic training to building businesses, she underscores the importance of setting benchmarks to track growth.

TEDM – Rod Schulhauser - Building Dreams and Breaking Barriers: The Path to Affordable Homeownership (Episode 210) Jan 07, 2025

In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire Podcast, host Patrick Francey interviews Rod Schulhauser, a professional engineer and entrepreneur, to discuss his innovative concept, The Self Funding House®, and his unique approach to entrepreneurship called “implementeering.” Rod explains how his career shifted from corporate engineering to helping high-performing entrepreneurs realize their visions by addressing common entrepreneurial traps, such as time constraints and operational inefficiencies.

Rod’s The Self Funding House® initiative aims to tackle housing affordability by rethinking homeownership. The concept encourages prospective buyers, especially younger generations, to view their homes as assets that generate income, such as through basement suites or additional rental units. Rod and his co-author, Derek Lobo, have expanded this idea into a broader framework by collaborating with developers, municipalities, and financial institutions to create homes pre-designed with rental income potential. This integrated approach educates buyers on managing rentals and finances while aligning industry stakeholders to address affordability.

The conversation delves into the mindset shifts required for success.

They reflect on how a clear vision, coupled with persistence and adaptability, can transform not only businesses but also lives.

The core of the conversation explores the nuanced topic of equality, sparked by a rant Patrick encountered questioning traditional notions of "real men" and the demand for equality.

Steffany shares her personal perspective as a woman thriving in male-dominated spaces, such as professional sports and real estate, without feeling the need to "be equal" but instead striving to be her best self.

The discussion evolves into the broader societal challenges of equality versus equity, particularly in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Mindset Matters - Episode #161 - The Real Reasons Behind Every Fight: It’s Not What You Think Nov 28, 2024

In this week’s episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the dynamics of conflict in relationships, asking the pivotal question: What are we fighting for? Instead of focusing on surface-level disagreements, they dive into the underlying needs, emotions, and assumptions that often drive conflicts. Whether it’s about missed calls, unacknowledged efforts, or unmet expectations, they reflect on how these issues are rarely about the specifics and more about the emotional undercurrents.

Patrick and Steffany also discuss how unspoken assumptions and unmet expectations can escalate conflicts. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and honest communication in navigating disagreements. For instance, a partner may feel frustrated over an unanswered text, but the real issue might be a desire for reassurance or connection. By shifting the focus from “What are we fighting about?” to “What are we fighting for?” couples can move beyond reactive arguments to meaningful conversations.

The episode underscores that conflict, when approached with curiosity and humility, can become an opportunity for growth. Patrick and Steffany encourage listeners to examine their own patterns, articulate their needs, and recognize the efforts of their partners. With humor and wisdom, they remind us that fighting for understanding and intimacy is far more rewarding than getting stuck in the details of what sparked the fight.

Mindset Matters - Episode #160 - Five Tools for Ascending the Mountain of Life Nov 21, 2024

In this episode of "Mindset Matters," Patrick and Steffany discuss the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President and its potential impact on Canadians. While Trump doesn’t directly govern Canada, his policies may have significant effects on Canada’s economy and its relations with the U.S. Patrick voices his concern over the strong emotional responses he's observed, urging listeners not to be overly swayed by mainstream media narratives. Instead, he suggests adopting a critical mindset and looking at various sources for a well-rounded perspective. He highlights the Stoic approach, which encourages focusing on what one can control rather than dwelling on the uncontrollable aspects of global politics.

They transition into a broader discussion on personal growth, introducing curiosity as a foundational tool in overcoming life’s challenges. Curiosity, they argue, promotes exploration and an open-minded attitude, helping individuals stay adaptable in the face of change. Steffany draws from her experience in high-performance sports, emphasizing that curiosity fosters learning and innovation.

The hosts then touch on the importance of passion, noting that while it can fuel motivation, passion alone may not be sustainable over the long term. They stress the importance of purpose as a guiding force, as purpose can turn passion into a lasting commitment and provide direction through difficult times. Aligning one's life with a clear purpose, they believe, fosters resilience and helps individuals make a positive impact on others.

In closing, Patrick and Steffany encourage listeners to focus on personal goals and values, rather than letting external events drain their energy. By embracing curiosity, passion, and purpose, listeners can navigate challenges with resilience and create a meaningful life that transcends the influence of political or media-driven stress.

Mindset Matters - Episode #159 - The FAQs of Our Relationship: How We Handle Conflict and Growth Nov 14, 2024

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into some of the most frequently asked questions from their listeners, revealing how they handle challenges in both their personal and professional lives.

One popular question centers around conflict: “What do you do when you disagree or feel triggered by each other?” Patrick and Steffany share that while they naturally have disagreements, especially given their different approaches to preparation, they make a point to keep their discussions constructive. Patrick’s detail-oriented style contrasts with Steffany’s more spontaneous approach, leading to occasional friction. However, they’ve set boundaries to avoid hurtful or personal comments, focusing instead on the issue at hand and staying respectful. For them, this commitment keeps the relationship healthy and ensures disagreements don't turn into personal conflicts.

Another common question is about handling setbacks. Patrick and Steffany openly share their approach: they don’t dwell on blame, instead focusing on how they can take responsibility for their reactions. They see setbacks as learning opportunities and practice resilience by shifting their perspectives to see challenges as growth experiences.

Listeners are also curious about jealousy, especially around Steffany’s high-energy work and travels. Patrick admits he sometimes wishes he could join her, but he feels proud and supportive of her achievements. This mutual respect helps them balance individual ambitions with their partnership.

Lastly, they address the challenge of differing beliefs within relationships, reflecting on how they navigated opposing views during the pandemic. They advise couples to communicate openly and seek alignment, even if that means involving a neutral third party to help guide the conversation.

Through candid answers and self-reflection, Patrick and Steffany provide insights on creating a resilient, loving relationship that thrives despite challenges.

Mindset Matters - Episode #158 - Who Am I If I’m Not That? Rediscovering Purpose Beyond Identity Nov 07, 2024

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany delve into the compelling topic of identity beyond professional and personal roles. They explore the question, “Who am I if I’m not that?” and discuss how deeply people’s identities are tied to what they do rather than who they truly are. Patrick and Steffany reflect on how common it is to introduce ourselves by our professions and roles, which creates a reliance on these roles for self-worth and value. This reliance, they explain, often leads to a crisis when those roles are no longer part of our lives, such as in career transitions, retirement, or the shift to becoming an empty nester.

The conversation turns to how societal expectations shape our identities, often leaving people unprepared when major life changes remove the titles they’ve depended on. Citing statistics, Patrick and Steffany discuss how the lifespan post-retirement has drastically reduced in recent years. This trend indicates a profound need for purpose, especially for individuals accustomed to busy careers. Many retirees struggle to find meaning outside of work, even experiencing health issues due to this loss of purpose. Patrick notes the recurring trend of public figures like rock stars returning to the stage not just for financial reasons, but to fulfill an inner drive for purpose.

They highlight the importance of people, purpose, and passion as fundamental elements that keep us engaged and inspired. Steffany emphasizes that without a meaningful contribution to make, individuals may experience melancholy or a sense of emptiness. She relates this to athletes she has worked with, particularly those transitioning out of professional sports, who often find it difficult to define their worth outside their athletic achievements. Steffany stresses that early conversations around these identity shifts can alleviate some of the struggles, allowing athletes, professionals, and anyone in a similar situation to embrace new chapters with confidence.

The episode closes with the parable of the Golden Buddha, a clay statue hiding a core of solid gold. Over centuries, the gold was concealed, much like how people cover their true selves with layers of societal expectations and roles. Steffany and Patrick use this metaphor to remind listeners of the value within each person—value that can only be discovered by “chipping away” at the external identity markers. They urge listeners to ask themselves, “Who am I beneath all these roles?” and to consider how self-discovery and authenticity contribute to a meaningful, passion-driven life.

Mindset Matters - Episode #157 - The Black Dot Effect: Transforming Negative Self-Talk into Positive Power Oct 31, 2024

In this episode of *Mindset Matters*, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into a rich conversation about mindset, self-talk, and the ways we navigate life’s challenges. Steffany kicks things off by sharing her recent experience at Skate America 2024, where the Ice Academy of Montreal had a triumphant showing, sweeping the podium. This event, coupled with Patrick’s reflections on Steffany’s absence and a throwback episode, sets the tone for a discussion about growth, values, and living a life aligned with personal goals.

A significant part of the episode focuses on self-talk, particularly the negative narratives we often carry about ourselves. Patrick shares a parable about a black dot on a white sheet of paper, a metaphor for how people tend to fixate on their flaws (the black dot) rather than the vast potential (the white space) in their lives. This leads into an exploration of how our inner dialogue can limit our growth and self-worth. Steffany, drawing from her expertise as a mindset coach, discusses the profound impact of negative self-talk on personal and professional development. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and interrupting these negative patterns to open up space for possibilities.

The couple also touches on the concept of the “gap and the gain,” a psychological framework that contrasts focusing on what’s missing in life (the gap) with celebrating how far we’ve come (the gain). Steffany highlights the importance of shifting our mindset toward the gain, using the white space around the black dot as a metaphor for the vast potential and opportunity in life. They both reflect on the power of gratitude and how it plays a pivotal role in rewiring our thoughts toward the positive.

Physical health and its connection to mental well-being are also discussed. Patrick shares his journey of recovering from a compressed disc injury, highlighting how his physical recovery influenced his mental state. For Patrick, physical activity is a crucial component of maintaining a positive mindset. He explains how setting up systems to make success easier, such as workout routines, is key to sustaining both physical and mental health.

As the episode wraps up, Steffany and Patrick caution against the dangers of comparison, especially in the age of social media. Comparing ourselves to others often distorts our perception of success and happiness. Instead, they encourage listeners to focus on their unique paths, celebrating individual progress and growth.

TEDM – Megan Camille – The Blessing of Intuition to Guide Us to a Life We Love (Episode 205) Oct 29, 2024

Megan Camille is a psychic and intuitive business consultant who has built her four 7-figure and multi-6-figure businesses from scratch, relying solely on her intuition and inner guidance. As a single mother of 2 children with no college education, Megan understands firsthand the challenges that come with starting
a business from the ground up while raising kids.

At the age of 19, she was sex trafficked and prostituted, an experience that taught her about the harsh darkness of life, but also about the light of opportunity with business. Compelled by a fire to never settle for mediocrity, Megan used her innate intuition and psychic abilities to build a successful consulting business that empowers her clients to generate their next 6 + 7 figures, while creating lives of sovereignty, joy, and abundance. She embodies her own principles having since founded her own happily ever after with her husband and now five children.

In this episode Megan and Patrick delve into the power of our intuition, healing, self-forgiveness, and resilience. As an intuitive business consultant Megan works with an array of clientele who desire more clarity, time freedom, money and consistency. Megan describes the differences of logic, emotion, and intuition. She explains why logic and emotion are the least reliable ways to make business decisions, while intuition is the most safe and efficient. Megan shares the story of her intuitive gift as a child, and the way in which she was encouraged to cultivate it rather than medicate it. A four-year life experience of being sex trafficked in her late teens led Megan to a path of disillusionment, pain and rebellion from the trauma. She shares how she was ultimately able to embrace a healing journey, which brought her to self-forgiveness, empowerment through compassion, and consciously creating a life she loves.

Mindset Matters - Episode #156 - Throwback Thursday - The 5 "P"'s to Motivation Oct 24, 2024

In this Throwback Thursday episode of Mindset Matters hosted by Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey, the couple dives into the foundational principles of motivation, using what they call "The Five P's" framework. This episode centers on exploring what drives human performance and motivation.

Patrick and Steffany begin by explaining how people are motivated in different ways, whether by impact, challenge, or purpose. Steffany reflects on her work with athletes at the Ice Academy in Montreal, where she participated in a workshop about motivation. They discuss how understanding what motivates an individual can help coaches unlock higher performance, and they highlight that everyone is driven by different factors.

The core of the episode revolves around the "Five P's": People, Purpose, Pursuit, Pressure, and Profit. The couple discusses how some people are motivated by social interactions (People), others by a sense of higher calling (Purpose), some by competition and achievement (Pursuit), while others thrive under deadlines or high-stakes situations (Pressure). Finally, they emphasize that passion, or love for what one does, can tie all these motivational drivers together. Profit, while important, should not be the only driver, as fulfillment often comes from aligning passion with purpose.

Throughout the conversation, Patrick and Steffany examine how they personally relate to these motivators, offering insights from both their own lives and the lives of the people they coach. They also touch on the importance of understanding one's motivations to create a fulfilling and successful life, whether in personal relationships, professional goals, or personal development.

The episode encourages listeners to reflect on what drives them and offers practical tools for creating environments where they can thrive, no matter what their primary motivator might be.

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the powerful emotions of guilt, shame, and regret, using a metaphor of a caged bird to illustrate how these feelings can limit our potential. The story highlights a young bird, trapped not by physical constraints but by its own fear and self-imposed limitations, symbolizing how past mistakes and internalized shame can prevent us from spreading our wings and moving forward.

Steffany discusses her experiences working with individuals who face self-imposed limits due to unresolved trauma and the stories they tell themselves. She emphasizes that while it’s difficult to break free from these patterns, the process of self-reflection and healing is crucial for true growth. Patrick shares personal anecdotes, including his relationship with his father, to illustrate the pervasive impact of early conditioning and parental expectations. He discusses how unresolved emotional wounds can manifest in adulthood, affecting personal and professional growth.

Together, they emphasize the importance of letting go of the past and breaking free from the invisible cages built around guilt and shame. They reflect on the challenges of shifting from survival mode to thriving and encourage listeners to create a safe space for self-awareness and transformation. The episode concludes with an inspiring call to examine the stories we tell ourselves and to step out of our self-imposed cages, embracing the freedom to live authentically and fully.

Mindset Matters - Episode #154 - Feeding the Good Wolf: Why Mindset Matters More Than Ever Oct 10, 2024

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick Francey and Steffany-Hanlen Francey delve into why mindset is more crucial now than ever. The episode opens with a powerful parable of the two wolves—one representing negative emotions like anger and envy, and the other symbolizing positivity like love and compassion. The message: "The wolf that wins is the one you feed." This story sets the stage for an in-depth discussion about the internal battles we face daily and the importance of choosing to feed the "good wolf" through intentional mindset practices.

Patrick explains that although the term "mindset" is relatively new, the concept has been central to human development for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Stoic philosophy. He highlights how historical figures like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus emphasized the power of self-reflection and controlling one's reactions, ideas that align with modern thought leaders like Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn.

Steffany opens up about her recent emotional struggles, acknowledging that she was feeding the "dark wolf" but emphasizes the importance of being honest about negative feelings without letting them define you. She highlights the balance between acknowledging hardship and maintaining resilience, explaining that denying negative emotions isn't productive for personal growth.

Patrick and Steffany discuss how self-awareness, reflection, and resilience have been cornerstones of their personal and professional lives, helping them guide clients and themselves through challenging times.

Ultimately, the episode underscores the importance of feeding the "good wolf" by practicing mindfulness, cultivating a strong support network, and embracing both the light and dark aspects of life as integral to personal growth.

Mindset Matters - Episode #153 - The Paradox of Life Oct 03, 2024

In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into the concept of paradoxes and how they shape our perception of life’s challenges and opportunities. The episode begins with a well-known parable of an old man on the frontier, whose life experiences highlight the unpredictable nature of events that can seem like blessings or curses, depending on our perspective.

Steffany and Patrick explore the "Champion’s Paradox," which teaches us that success often requires embracing both highs and lows simultaneously. Whether in sports, business, or life, the ability to hold two opposing thoughts—like winning and losing, light and dark—can foster personal growth and resilience. They discuss how many people get stuck in absolutes, limiting their ability to see multiple sides of a situation, which, in turn, limits their potential.

Throughout the conversation, the hosts reflect on the pursuit of happiness, trust, and control, all of which can be paradoxical in nature. They touch on real-life examples from Steffany’s work with athletes, Patrick’s experiences in real estate, and their personal life lessons. By understanding that life’s circumstances often present both challenges and opportunities, they emphasize the importance of staying grounded in gratitude, self-awareness, and embracing the present moment.

The episode wraps up with practical insights on how to navigate paradoxes in everyday life, urging listeners to let go of the need for certainty and control, and instead focus on what can be managed—our mindset and response to life’s unpredictability.

Tune in to this episode for a deep dive into the power of paradox and how mastering it can lead to a more balanced and empowered mindset.

The core of the discussion centers around the concept of the "relationship rowboat," a metaphor they originally used to explain to their daughter the ebb and flow of friendships. They explore how this metaphor applies not just to friendships but to all types of relationships, including business and romantic ones. The idea is that in any relationship, both parties must contribute to keep the "boat" moving forward. However, life’s challenges, such as the stresses brought on by global events or personal struggles, can cause one person to stop rowing, leaving the other to carry the burden or risk the relationship stalling or sinking.

Patrick and Steffany emphasize the importance of communication and self-awareness in maintaining healthy relationships. They discuss how it's vital to recognize when someone has stopped rowing, either because of personal reasons or external pressures, and to respond with understanding rather than resentment. They also highlight the need to reflect on whether we ourselves have stopped contributing to a relationship and the significance of being honest about our capacity to engage fully.

The episode closes with a powerful message about the flow of life and relationships, encouraging listeners to remain open and non-judgmental, allowing people to come and go as needed without taking it personally. The hosts leave their audience with the thought-provoking question: Are you rowing in your relationship rowboat, or have you let go of the oars without realizing it?

Steffany reveals that she received a medal, not from a current event, but from the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The medal, awarded by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, honors coaches who have significantly impacted athletes who went on to win medals.

The hosts also touch on the disparity between social media portrayals and reality, especially concerning the unrest in Paris during the Olympics. Despite reports of chaos, Steffany found the city calm and welcoming, a reminder that what we see online isn't always the full story.

Mindset Matters - Episode #138 - Change is Hard Jun 20, 2024

In this week's episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore the challenges of change and why it often feels difficult.

Reflecting on their recent "Think Tank" weekend, they share the enriching experience of hosting diverse individuals and couples at their home. The serene setting, complete with outdoor walks and interactions with animals, provided a perfect environment for meaningful discussions.

Patrick emphasizes that change requires significant effort and isn't as simple as flipping a switch. There's a painful transition period full of discomfort and uncertainty, which can lead to frustration and a lack of fulfillment. Steffany prefers intentional change, viewing it as a growth opportunity rather than a reaction to external circumstances. Her mantra, "here we grow again," reflects her positive outlook on embracing change for personal development.

When one person starts to change, it can create discomfort and resistance in others, not due to unwillingness to grow, but fear of impact on their own lives.

Ending with some practical advice: have a supportive network and embrace discomfort as part of the growth process. Patrick and Steffany remind listeners that change is not a solitary journey but one enriched by support and encouragement from others. Listen in, enjoy!

TEDM – Steve Saretsky – Market Mechanics: Mastering Investment Amid Inflation and Taxes (Episode 193) May 14, 2024

In this episode of the Everyday Millionaire podcast, Patrick Francey and Steve Saretsky take a deep dive into Vancouver and British Columbia’s real estate markets, uncovering critical challenges and emerging trends that all investors and homeowners should know about. Despite efforts to curb speculation, Vancouver remains one of the most expensive cities in North America due to high immigration rates, a persistent supply-demand imbalance, and strict financing conditions that restrict developers from increasing new housing supply.

Landlords face increasingly harsh rent control measures, which often limit them to the point of either selling their properties or moving in themselves. The government’s recent flipping tax imposes a 20% levy on pre-sale contracts, even if purchased before the new legislation took effect. While designed to reduce speculation, it ends up discouraging investment and penalizing skilled tradespeople who are restoring older properties that could increase housing supply. Combine that with the fact that roughly 30% of new home construction costs are eaten up by government taxes and fees, and it's clear why new projects struggle to get off the ground.

In this engaging conversation, Francey and Saretsky highlight why diversification is essential. They explore how, when denominated in gold, Vancouver real estate prices have actually declined, underscoring the value of precious metals and foreign currencies in safeguarding investments. Maintaining liquidity, too, is vital amid rising inflation and a potential recession. With developers eyeing US real estate markets due to friendlier regulations, they discuss how Alberta remains a promising option domestically, but with a cautionary note about potential overbuilding.

Curious about how these insights can help you navigate the turbulent market ahead? Tune in to the podcast to hear how Saretsky’s deep understanding of market dynamics can give you the edge you need. Learn about strategic opportunities, emerging trends, and critical risks in the ever-evolving world of real estate.

“No forgiveness no peace, know forgiveness know peace.” Source unknown

In life, we all come to know that shit happens. People do things that hurt us, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. We do things to others, and to ourselves, we make mistakes. What’s left is the need to forgive… to forgive ourselves or others.

Desmond Tutu once said “Forgiveness does not mean that we pretend things are anything other than they are. I am hurt, we say. I am betrayed, we announce. I am in pain and grief. I have been treated unfairly. I am feeling ashamed. I am angry this has been done to me. I am sad and I am lost. I may never forget what you have done to me, but I will forgive. I will do everything in my power not to let you harm me again. I will not retaliate against you or against myself.”

In this article, my intention is to delve deeper into the insights we shared on the show, providing you, with some actionable or at least meaningful food for thought that you can apply in your life. Today, of you are like many there is a good chance you’re tired of those times of feeling stuck in the past or being anxious and worrying about the future. Do you ever become aware of your self-talk and hearing yourself wishing and hoping for a sense of peace, contentment even joy in the present moment? If you do, then it's time to discover the power of "now what?"

TEDM Special Edition - Powerful and Creative Buying Strategies w/ Barry McGuire Mar 13, 2023

Learn these strategies here ! CREATIVE BUYING STRATEGiES https://rein.remi360online.com/rapid-cash-program-registration THINKTANK https://rein.remi360online.com/think-tank-live-registration Real estate can be a lucrative investment, but many investors struggle to make a profit when the market is volatile. However, there are several strategies you can use to profit in any real estate market - up or down. In this video, we'll discuss four strategies: agreements for sale, rent to own/lease options, vendor take-back mortgages, and wholesaling. We'll explain what these strategies are, how they work, and how to implement them successfully. Agreements for Sale An agreement for sale is a legal agreement between a buyer and a seller. The buyer agrees to make payments to the seller, who remains the legal owner of the property until the buyer pays the full purchase price. This strategy is often used in markets where traditional financing is difficult to obtain, or where buyers have poor credit. To implement this strategy successfully, you need to find motivated sellers who are willing to enter into an agreement for sale. You also need to ensure that the terms of the agreement are favorable to you as the buyer, such as a low interest rate or a long repayment period. You may also need to hire a lawyer to ensure that the agreement is legally binding and enforceable. #Rent to Own/Lease Options Rent to own, also known as lease options, is a strategy where a buyer leases a property for a set period of time with the option to buy it at a later date. The buyer typically pays a non-refundable option fee and a higher-than-average monthly rent. This strategy is often used in markets where buyers have poor credit or can't obtain traditional financing. To implement this strategy successfully, you need to find motivated sellers who are willing to enter into a rent to own agreement. You also need to ensure that the terms of the agreement are favorable to you as the buyer, such as a low option fee or a long lease term. You may also need to work with a real estate agent to find suitable properties and negotiate the terms of the agreement. Vendor Take-Back Mortgages A vendor take-back mortgage is a financing strategy where the seller of a property provides financing to the buyer. The buyer makes payments to the seller, who acts as the lender, until the full purchase price is paid off. This strategy is often used in markets where traditional financing is difficult to obtain or where buyers have poor credit. To implement this strategy successfully, you need to find motivated sellers who are willing to provide financing. You also need to ensure that the terms of the mortgage are favorable to you as the buyer, such as a low interest rate or a long repayment period. You may also need to work with a lawyer to ensure that the mortgage is legally binding and enforceable. #wholesaling Wholesaling is a strategy where an investor finds distressed properties, negotiates a low purchase price, and then sells the property to another investor for a higher price. This strategy is often used in down markets where there are many distressed properties available. To implement this strategy successfully, you need to find motivated sellers who are willing to sell their properties at a low price. You also need to find other investors who are willing to buy the properties at a higher price. You may also need to work with a real estate agent or use online resources to find suitable properties and investors.

Mindset Matters #70 - How To Fight RIght and STOP Right Fighting! Mar 02, 2023

Join Patrick and Steffany on this episode as they navigate their thought process behind the title "if you're going to fight, fight right, but don't be a right fighter" Most can understand or relate to conflict being productive if handled appropriately but damaging if approached with a combative attitude, hidden agenda, and unyielding attitude. "Fighting right" relies on being respectful, constructive, empathetic, or compassionate and listening to other's perspectives and working together to find a mutually beneficial solution. "Right Fighter" it the character trait of an unrelenting insistence and need to be right. The impact it may have on others, or the situation is not considered.

Mindset Matters #69 - Holding Space with Humility Feb 23, 2023

Join Steffany and Patrick as they dive into the not so common ‘holding space’…. what it means and what it takes. Holding space for others is a skill that requires awareness, humility, and empathy. Whether you are a speaker, leader, parent with kids in sports, or simply a member of a group or family, learning to hold space is essential for creating a safe and supportive environment for those around you. It means being present and actively listening to others without judgment or distraction, listening with compassion, and creating a space where people can express themselves freely. This requires a willingness to ‘park our ego’ put the needs of others first, to be attentive to their feelings and experiences, and to offer support and validation when needed. Whether it’s in the boardroom, the workplace, or at home with family, holding space is about creating a space where people feel heard, seen, and valued. With awareness and humility, we can learn to hold space for others, one-on-one or for many, and have a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of those around us.

Mindset Matters #63 - Confirmation Bias Jan 12, 2023

Join Patrick and Steffany and listen in as they take on the topic of Confirmation Bias and add a touch of Cognitive Dissonance! The current state of our world seems marked by a growing divide and escalating polarization. It often seems as though people are constantly at odds with each other, different groups and individuals occur as "right fighters" or "fact checkers", labels such as "woke" and "un-woke" or far "left" and far "right" are now common. But is this growing divide as real as it appears, and if it is, why is it? Are we less willing to change today than in the past? Why is that you ask? Confirmation bias is the tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms our existing beliefs, rather than objectively evaluating new information. It is a form of bias that can influence our view of an issue, our decision-making, and even our relationships. This bias is generally unconscious and is often driven by a refusal to consider information that contradicts our beliefs. Cognitive dissonance is another mechanism that can lead to the reinforcement of our views, even in the face of evidence that contradicts them. It refers to the discomfort or tension that arises when we are presented with information that conflicts with our beliefs, values or attitudes. https://theeverydaymillionaire.ca/confirmation-bias/

Mindset Matters #60 - Getting to Know Your Fear Dec 22, 2022

Fear and anxiety often occur together, but the terms are not interchangeable. Even though the emotions commonly overlap, your experience with them differs based on their context.

These differences can account for how we react to various stressors in our environment. It seems we are living in a time when few are not dealing with fear and anxiety to varying degrees…daily! In this conversation Patrick and Steffany discuss these two emotions and unpack some tips you can use to regain your sense of calm and control

Mindset Matters #56 - The Problem- Nov 24, 2022

https://rein.remi360online.com/insiders-newsletter-sign-up Follow me on Twitter @pfrancey https://www.facebook.com/theeverydaymillionaire Instagram tedm.podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/pfrancey/ Albert Einstein said: “If I were given one hour to save the planet, I would spend 59 minutes defining the problem and one minute resolving it.” That’s easy for Einstein to say! Have you considered how you deal with problems – life, business, decisions that need to be made? It’s said that the quality of our life is a reflection of the quality of the questions, we ask ourselves, which implies that we need to consider if we are asking ourselves the right questions. When it comes to problems, it’s easy to get caught searching for the answer or for what to think rather than reflecting on how we are thinking. What if we considered that the problem may be how we see the problem? This week, Steffany is away in Japan! Join Patrick as he goes it alone to unpack ‘the problem with problems’ on this episode of Mindset Matters.

Mindset Matters #55 - Forgiveness Nov 17, 2022

In life, we all come to know that shit happens. People do things that hurt us, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, We do things to others, and to ourselves, we make mistakes. What's left is the need to forgive to forgive ourselves or others....Desmond Tutu once said “Forgiveness does not mean that we pretend things are anything other than they are. I am hurt, we say. I am betrayed, we announce. I am in pain and grief. I have been treated unfairly. I am feeling ashamed. I am angry this has been done to me. I am sad and I am lost. I may never forget what you have done to me, but I will forgive. I will do everything in my power not to let you harm me again. I will not retaliate against you or against myself.” ― Desmond Tutu, Listen in as Patrick and Steffany consider forgiveness....because with No forgiveness there is no peace, so we must know forgiveness to know peace.

Episode 154 – Ryan Niddel – Persistent Curiosity in Service of Evolution Nov 15, 2022

“Quite often when I feel that level of resistance, my default now is to get simple. Anytime there’s a little resistance it’s almost always because I’ve overcomplicated something, which is the inherent nature of who I am. It’s this back and forth to me of, if I’m creating reality, why did I create this, what do I need to learn from it, have I learned the lesson before (obviously not if I created it again) and then how do I shift through it without there having to be a bunch of strife.” – Ryan Niddel

Mindset Matters #50 - Communication in Relationships Oct 13, 2022

If you’re looking for real change in your life, and to transform your mindset, why not start with your relationship? For a relationship to last, it must be a place you go to give, and not a place you go to take. Practicing selflessness and prioritizing your partner will elevate you, and your perspective on life. Giving, rather than taking, encourages you to be your best self. When you trade your expectations from getting to appreciation for receiving, your whole world changes – including your relationship. The act of communicating not only helps to meet your needs, but it’s critical to the connection we seek in relationship. Join Patrick and Steffany as they discuss this key to a successful and fulfilling relationship, something many people simply don’t know how to do.

Mindset Matters #42 - There is No Wrong Bus! Jul 21, 2022

There is NO Wrong Bus! Our mindset is the doorway to the work we do, to live the life of our vision and dreams, and to open the door to see the paths. It’s often only in hindsight that we realize that life really does unfold in mysterious ways… if we let it.

Listen is as Patrick and Steffany share the story of one of Steffany’s metaphors for life, which is that there is no wrong bus. “Why must we have the conversation about mindset and why is it important?

How does one deal with loss? The loss of a loved one, a job, a business deal, a financial loss, the loss of identity? Sadly, the data shows that many simply don’t.
