In this episode of Amazing Authorities, Mitch Carson sits down with Ruth to explore how profound personal loss reshaped her life, her career, and her mission to help others heal.After losing her sister to stage four cancer and her mother shortly after, Ruth found herself navigating grief on every level — emotional, physical, and spiritual. What began as attending grief support groups became a calling to help others process loss in healthier ways. In 2020, she earned a master’s degree in mental health and wellness with a focus on grief and bereavement and now works toward expanding her one-on-one grief coaching practice.Ruth explains why many people unknowingly cope with grief through avoidance behaviors like alcohol or numbing distractions — and why practices such as journaling, movement, time in nature, and mindful nutrition help process grief rather than suppress it. She also shares why spiritual connection plays a critical role in recovery, offering meaning, purpose, and relief from guilt and self-blame across cultures and belief systems.Alongside her coaching work, Ruth discusses her lifelong connection to storytelling. Childhood escapism through fantasy evolved into a fiction career that blends imagination with lived experience. Today, she balances creative passion with business strategy, using podcasting and Facebook ads to turn writing into a profitable and sustainable business while building a supportive author community.In This Episode, You’ll Learn:• How personal loss led Ruth to become a grief coach• Why grief affects the body as much as the mind• Healthy alternatives to avoidance behaviors during grief• How journaling, exercise, and nature support emotional healing• Why spirituality helps reduce despair, guilt, and self-blame• How faith and purpose support long-term grief recovery• How childhood escapism shaped Ruth’s fiction writing• Why AI should support, not replace, a writer’s voice• How Facebook ads helped transform writing into a business• How podcasting became a marketing and networking engineGuest Credentials — Ruth DouthittGrief coach and mental health professionalMaster’s degree in Mental Health and Wellness (grief and bereavement focus, 2020)Fiction author in fantasy and suspense genresHost of the podcast A Writer’s DayPodcast: A Writer’s DayMitch Carson LinksSchedule a strategy call with Mitchhttps://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitchBecome a podcast guesthttps://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguestFind Mitch herehttps://www.mitchcarson.com/https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficialBooks by Mitch CarsonThe Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2DIf you want, I can also create the LinkedIn capt
In this episode of Amazing Authorities, Mitch Carson sits down with Lou Green, CEO of Arbit Group, to explore how humility, reinvention, and unconventional thinking can create both strong returns and long-term investor confidence.Lou shares his remarkable journey from growing up in foster care and serving in the U.S. Navy to leading a real estate organization projected to transact nearly $250 million annually. He explains how staying grounded, transparent, and personally accessible has become a competitive advantage in attracting conservative investors who value trust as much as performance.The conversation dives into Arbit Group’s unique investment strategy — blending real estate development with blue-chip art acquisitions as a hedge against market volatility. Lou explains how art assets not only appreciate steadily, but can also serve as collateral during challenging market cycles, offering stability when traditional projects face pressure.Lou also breaks down how creative deal structuring, assemblage strategies, and equity-based partnerships have helped his firm achieve an average IRR of 37% across the last 15 projects — while minimizing downside risk through hands-on involvement and clear communication.In This Episode, You’ll Learn:• How humility and personal reinvention shaped Lou’s leadership and business philosophy• What it takes to scale toward $250M in annual real estate transactions• Why Lou blends real estate with blue-chip art to hedge market risk• How art valued at $150K–$250K can stabilize portfolios and serve as collateral• The creative financing strategies behind a 37% average IRR• How seller equity, assemblage deals, and entitlement flexibility unlock value• Why equity participation reduces investor risk more than simple lending• How transparency and accessibility build long-term investor trust• Why conservative investors favor tangible assets over speculative trends• How clear communication strengthens confidence during uncertain marketsGuest Links — Lou GreenLinkedIn: (Connect with Lou Green)Email contact available through Arbit GroupMitch Carson LinksSchedule a strategy call with Mitch:https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitchBecome a podcast guest:https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguestFind Mitch here:https://www.mitchcarson.com/https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficialBooks by Mitch Carson:The Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2D
In this episode of Amazing Authorities, Mitch Carson sits down with Jake Stahl to break down the psychology behind influence, persuasion, and dramatically increasing income through smarter selling.Jake shares how transitioning from pharmaceutical sales to one-to-many selling in the eLearning space transformed his income — including generating $60,000 in a single day from one speaking engagement. He explains why leveraging audiences instead of individuals multiplies authority, impact, and revenue.But this conversation goes deeper than tactics.Jake reveals why most sales are decided before you even speak, how a single word like “because” can boost compliance dramatically, and why framing buyers with identity-based language increases commitment and long-term follow-through. He also reframes “closing” as a natural conclusion — not a pressure tactic — changing how sales conversations should feel for both parties.In This Episode, You’ll Learn:• Why shifting from one-to-one to one-to-many selling multiplies income and authority• How Jake generated $60,000 in one day through leveraged selling• Why personal branding makes one-to-one sales dramatically easier• How “thin slicing” causes buyers to judge you within seconds• The three simple headshot traits that instantly increase trust• Why presence often matters more than content• How adding the word “because” can increase compliance rates• Why identity-based language (“podcaster” vs. “have a podcast”) boosts commitment• How transferring ownership of ideas reduces buyer’s remorse• Why “closing” should feel like a logical next step, not pressure• How trial closes and assumptive language build buyer confidence• Why accountability increases follow-through and enrollmentGuest Links — Jake Stahl(Insert Jake’s website and social media links here)Mitch Carson LinksSchedule a strategy call with Mitch:https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitchBecome a podcast guest:https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguestFind Mitch here:https://www.mitchcarson.com/https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficialBooks by Mitch Carson:The Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2D

In this eye-opening episode of Amazing Authorities, host Mitch Carson sits down with Kevin McShane, disability inclusion advocate, speaker, and host of Let’s Have This Conversation, to unpack the real business impact of hiring people with disabilities — and why inclusion isn’t just good ethics, it’s smart economics.Kevin shares powerful data and lived experience proving that companies who hire disabled talent don’t just make a difference — they make a profit. Studies show that employees with disabilities improve productivity by up to 80% and reduce turnover by 90%, outperforming non-disabled peers in engagement and loyalty. With most accommodations costing under $500, Kevin argues that inclusion is one of the highest-return investments any company can make.But Kevin’s story is more than statistics — it’s personal. After graduating in 2010 with a journalism degree, Kevin spent six years navigating systemic barriers before finally landing his first paid job in 2016. That journey of persistence and self-belief shaped his mission: to help organizations recognize the extraordinary value of hiring people with disabilities.Through keynote speaking, consulting, and his podcast with over 1,200 episodes, Kevin teaches leaders to see disability as a superpower — a source of creativity, innovation, and resilience that strengthens teams and cultures. His mantra, “We’re all given a deck of 52 cards — it’s how you shuffle them that counts,” reminds audiences that everyone has the power to redefine success.In this episode, Kevin and Mitch explore:♿ How hiring people with disabilities boosts retention, innovation, and culture💡 Why disability inclusion is a competitive advantage, not a compliance issue💰 The surprisingly low cost — and high ROI — of workplace accommodations🧠 How mindset shifts drive meaningful inclusion in business🎙️ Kevin’s personal story of resilience and how he built a 1,200-episode podcast around advocacy and progressThis conversation challenges business leaders to look beyond charity — and start seeing inclusion as a path to profit, progress, and purpose.🌍 Learn More About Kevin McShane:🎤 Website: kevinmcshanespeaks.com🎙️ Podcast: Let’s Have This Conversation (available on YouTube and major platforms)💼 LinkedIn: Kevin McShane📺 YouTube: Kevin McShane----------If you like this episode, don't forget to check the following links: You can schedule a strategy call with me using this link: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitch⁠⁠ If you want to be a podcast guest, you can apply here: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguest You can find me here:https://www.mitchcarson.com/⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficial⁠⁠ My Amazon Book Links:The Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2D If you're serious about publishing and selling more books on Amazon, you need the right data.That’s why I use Publisher Rocket—it’s like having a book marketing expert in your pocket:https://mitchauthor--rocket.thrivecart.com/publisher-rocket-mitch-author/5e8f51fc1dd46/

Separated from her family, malnourished, and near death, she witnessed the collapse of an entire nation under the Khmer Rouge’s brutal dictatorship.But this is not a story of despair — it’s one of faith, resilience, and renewal.After escaping to a UN refugee camp and later rebuilding her life in the United States, Sarah waited 35 years before writing her memoir — ensuring it came not from anger, but from peace and purpose.Today, How I Survived the Killing Fields stands as both a historical witness and a message of hope, teaching that even in the darkest circumstances, love, faith, and perseverance can prevail. Through her story, Sarah urges readers and listeners alike to recognize the universality of struggle — and to see that life, even after unimaginable suffering, is worth rebuilding.You’ll hear:The shocking reality of Cambodia’s communist regime and the human cost of ideological extremismHow Sarah survived extreme labor, starvation, and family separationThe emotional and spiritual healing that allowed her to forgive and move forwardHer journey from refugee to American citizen and advocate for senior careWhy she believes sharing painful truths can prevent future suffering and despairHow faith, hope, and purpose can turn trauma into triumphThis episode is both heartbreaking and uplifting — a testament to the indestructible human spirit.🌍 Learn More About Sarah Im:📘 How I Survive the Killing Fields — https://www.facebook.com/BooktoInspire/🌐 www.sarahaim.com🎤 Virtual Speaker | Nonprofit Advocate | Survivor----------If you like this episode, don't forget to check the following links: You can schedule a strategy call with me using this link: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitch⁠⁠ If you want to be a podcast guest, you can apply here: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguest You can find me here:https://www.mitchcarson.com/⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficial⁠⁠ My Amazon Book Links:The Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2D If you're serious about publishing and selling more books on Amazon, you need the right data.That’s why I use Publisher Rocket—it’s like having a book marketing expert in your pocket:https://mitchauthor--rocket.thrivecart.com/publisher-rocket-mitch-author/5e8f51fc1dd46/
In this fascinating and deeply reflective episode of Amazing Authorities, host Mitch Carson explores the intersection of ancient philosophy and modern leadership with Vidya, a yoga therapist and emotional intelligence mentor for founders and high-performers.What if the key to scaling your business isn’t another strategy — but mastering your inner world? Vidya introduces us to the art and science of yoga therapy, an integrative practice that unites the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical dimensions of human potential. Far from the power-yoga many know, her approach is about realignment from the inside out — helping entrepreneurs dissolve the emotional and energetic imbalances that block fulfillment and flow.A former corporate entrepreneur herself, Vidya shares how understanding the body’s messages can transform leadership, creativity, and resilience. She explains how emotional intelligence isn’t about detachment — it’s about integration. Our emotions, she argues, are not weaknesses to suppress, but signals to decode.Together, Mitch and Vidya dive into provocative territory — exploring pleasure versus pain, the psychology behind desire, and the societal judgments that shape our sense of self. From navigating burnout to addressing taboo topics like identity, sexuality, and self-worth, Vidya offers a radically compassionate lens for understanding human behavior and healing through awareness.💡 You’ll Learn:What yoga therapy really is — and how it differs from traditional yogaHow emotions shape business outcomes (and how to leverage them as a superpower)The connection between pain, pleasure, and purposeWhy true balance begins with integrating the body, mind, and spiritHow entrepreneurs can move from survival mode to inspired leadershipThe neuroscience behind emotional regulation — and how to activate the prefrontal cortex for clarity and calmVidya’s philosophy is simple yet profound: life is already in balance — it’s our perceptions that create imbalance. By shifting those perceptions, leaders can transform stress into strength and realign with their mission.If you’ve ever felt that success came at the cost of peace, or that achievement didn’t equal fulfillment, this episode reveals how to bridge the gap between outer success and inner wholeness.✨ This episode is for you if:You’re a founder, CEO, or creator seeking emotional alignment in leadershipYou’ve outgrown hustle culture and want sustainable performanceYou’re curious how ancient philosophy can elevate modern business thinkingYou want to master emotional intelligence without losing authenticity🎧 Tune in and discover how emotional mastery, presence, and purpose can help you lead — not from pressure, but from balance.🌍 Connect with Vidya: 📸 Instagram: @myfuturenowbyvidyaYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@myfuturenowbyvidya/shorts?app=desktop----------If you like this episode, don't forget to check the following links: You can schedule a strategy call with me using this link: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/meetwithmitch⁠⁠ If you want to be a podcast guest, you can apply here: https://www.getinterviewedguaranteed.com/podcastguest You can find me here:https://www.mitchcarson.com/⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/MitchCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mitchcarsonofficial/⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/MCarsonOfficial/⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchcarsoninstantcelebrity/⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MitchCarsonOfficial⁠⁠ My Amazon Book Links:The Amazing Authors of Singapore: https://a.co/d/cp9KjC1The Silent Salesmen: https://a.co/d/b4eqa2D If you're serious about publishing and selling more books on Amazon, you need the right data.That’s why I use Publisher Rocket—it’s like having a book marketing expert in your pocket:https://mitchauthor--rocket.thrivecart.com/publisher-rocket-mitch-author/5e8f51fc1dd46/
