Numbers aren’t just reports, they’re direction. Ari (virtual CFO, mom of two, mindset-and-metrics pro) shows you how to drop the money shame, raise your floor, and use cash and margins to steer—whether you manage a P&L or your own company.

We get specific about

• Shame → clarity: plan forward instead of living in last month’s report
• Raise your floor: the trigger that makes you act before cash gets tight
• Healthy scaling: why margins dip during growth (and how to know it’s working)
• Cash first: the weekly metric to watch (days cash on hand)
• Belief audit: breaking “I must produce to be worthy” so you can lead calmly

Quick action steps

• Set a new “emergency switch” balance so you move sooner, not in crisis
• Define success before you invest (ads, hires, projects) so you know when to stop
• Start building a cash cushion (begin where you are; compound weekly)

Most high-performers are stuck in one of four modes without realizing it: to me, for me, through me, or as me. In this candid conversation, emotional self-mastery coach Alton Chislom and Patrick break down how to spot your default mode, set real boundaries (without building walls), and retrain your nervous system so you stop reacting and start leading.

You’ll learn:

• The four levels of perception and how they show up in business, parenting, and your body
• A simple boundary script that protects your energy (and your relationships)
• Fast nervous-system resets (breath + grounding) you can do anywhere
• How to reverse-engineer a 20-year vision into calm, doable daily actions

If you’re doing “all the right things” (training, food, mobility, meditation) but still hitting a ceiling, this episode is your unlock. Patrick sits down with mentor and EMG pioneer David Lemke to expose what actually breaks performance and how to fix it fast.

We dig into what real-time surface EMG reveals about the body: why humans fail in predictable patterns, how fatigue shows up first (before pain), and why training in a flattened, symmetrical world keeps you stuck. You’ll learn why the extension chain (hamstrings → glutes → paraspinals + TVA) is the missing capacity engine for high performers and exactly how to wake it up.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why isolation training and mirror muscles cap your results
• The hamstring-first firing truth (and what it means for your core)
• How to correct the core twist and stop compensations
• The adductors/abductors mistake draining your glutes (and power)
• Simple upgrades: uneven surfaces, knees-out band work, laughter to activate TVA (yes, really)

If willpower worked, you’d be done by now. Upgrade the operating system.
