When you ask is this helpful and the answer is no, that’s the exit ramp. You don’t need to analyze it. You don’t need to argue with it. You just put it down. — Lodro Rinzler

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and meditation teacher, author, and Basic Goodness Collective founder Lodro Rinzler for a conversation that will stop your spiral before it starts. 25 years of teaching. 8 books. One unwavering intention. Lodro breaks down the difference between intentions and goals, the “trap of doubt” that keeps high-achievers small, and why feeling “too much” and “not enough” are the same wound wearing two different masks. Plus a live 30-second breathing reset, the gold Buddha story, and a real coaching moment you didn’t see coming.

“When you’re vulnerable, you’re so much more approachable. It lowers the barriers for other people. They allow their walls to fall down.” — Michelle Molitor

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and three powerhouse leaders; Ashok Bhattacharya, Matthew Cahill, and Michele Molitor, for a roundtable that will fundamentally shift how you think about building alone. Together they created the Trusted Advisory Group International (TAG): a co-created space where solopreneurs and business leaders stop isolating and start belonging. In this episode they get real about loneliness in business, the danger of “like-me bias,” the difference between being honest and being vulnerable, and why the most powerful thing an outlier can do is choose the right circle. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one in the room holding your big vision, this one’s for you.

“You can’t create a new reality with the same or old identity. You have to release the old one and install a new one.” — Kizma

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and three extraordinary outliers; executive coach Sean Olson, identity and destiny coach Kisma Orbovich, and pain-healing pioneer Leslie Carmen, for a raw, real, and deeply energizing roundtable.

These four dig into what it actually costs to take a stand for your clients, your mission, and yourself. From Sean’s revelation that “even if” beats “what if” every time, to Kizma’s jaw-dropping truth that 1% growth at your current level equals 10x the impact of earlier gains, to Niiamah’s live on-air reckoning with whether he’s been hiding behind conversations instead of building a community, this episode will have you questioning what you’ve been holding onto, and what you need to finally let go.
