In this episode, I sit down with Jessy, one of the earliest and most loyal members of the Elliott Group, for a conversation that goes all the way back to where it all started: a mile-long dealership in Oklahoma, where Andy was selling 60 to 70 cars a month from a folding lawn chair and Jacqueline was just coming on as BDC manager.Jessy takes us through her journey from the auto industry to the mortgage world, and ultimately answering the call to join the Elliott Group in Arizona. She opens up about her military background, breaking generational cycles as the daughter of an immigrant family, and what it means to be the warm, grounding "Auntie Jessy" presence that people lean on behind the scenes.If you've ever felt like the quiet force holding things together, this one's for you. Jessy's story is a reminder that total recreation is real, and the only thing standing between you and your next chapter is you.⭐️CONNECT WITH JESSY ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @mrsjessycastillocruz▶︎ LINKEDIN: Jessy Castillo▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected]🔹🔹CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA🔹🔹▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund▶︎ LINKEDIN: Celina Eklund▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund

What does it take to walk into a room, hand over your credit card, and say “We have no idea what you're selling but we're in”? For Jimmy and Deborah, it wasn't impulsiveness. It was pattern recognition.

Most athletes are taught that if you want to get better, you just have to push harder. But what if that is actually the reason so many people plateau or get injured?Scott Haase, known as the Velocity Doctor, has worked with over 1,100 pitchers across 16 years, helping athletes add serious velocity, often four plus miles per hour in as little as 90 days, without increasing injury risk.Scott went from a college pitcher struggling with velocity to adding five miles per hour in a single offseason, and that transformation turned into a 16 year career helping over 1,100 pitchers do the same.Now, through their health first system and global training community, they are helping athletes unlock more power with less effort and without sacrificing their long term health.Scott’s wife Lora is also with us today has been on the journey with him, has supported his passion and helping people feel better and perform better. ⭐️CONNECT WITH SCOTT & LORA ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @scotthaase14▶︎ LINKEDIN: SCOTT HAASE▶︎ EMAIL: scott@healthyvelocom🔹🔹CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA🔹🔹▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund▶︎ LINKEDIN: Celina Eklund▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund

On this episode of Revenue from Retention, Luke Nelson opens up about the hidden battles that shaped him. From a shy, introverted pastor's kid who hid in bathrooms to avoid performing, to a decade-long struggle with alcohol addiction that nearly cost him his family.

Overcoming addiction forces someone to build the exact internal skills that high-level business and sales require. It’s basically the hardest form of personal development someone can go through.Here’s what’s actually happening: They master impulse control (which most people never do).Addiction is driven by instant gratification.

Today's guest is someone who has turned creativity into a real business and built a community around it. Rie Catangay is the founder of Charmed by Rie, a brand centered around permanent jewelry, beauty, and hands-on education for aspiring artists. What started as a passion for beauty and craftsmanship has grown into a business where she not only creates stunning pieces, but also teaches others how to build their own income streams through permanent jewelry. Through her trainings, courses, and pop-ups, Rie has already trained over 100 students and traveled across multiple states teaching the art of permanent jewelry while helping creatives turn their skills into businesses. Today we're going to talk about how she built her brand, the rise of the permanent jewelry industry, what it really takes to turn a creative skill into a profitable business, and how she's helping others do the same. So if you're interested in entrepreneurship, beauty, or learning how to monetize a creative skill, you're going to love this conversation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Passion can be a business foundation. Rie turned her love for beauty and craftsmanship into a full brand — Charmed by Rie — proving that creative interests can evolve into legitimate, income-generating ventures. Community and education multiply impact. Beyond making jewelry, Rie built a community by teaching others, having trained over 100 students across multiple states through courses, trainings, and pop-ups. Permanent jewelry is a rising industry. The conversation highlights the growth of the permanent jewelry space as a real and expanding market — not just a trend — with genuine business opportunities. Creative skills are monetizable. Rie's model shows that artistic abilities don't have to stay hobbies — with the right approach, they can become structured income streams for aspiring entrepreneurs. Teaching others is its own business model. Rie didn't just build a brand for herself — she created a replicable path for other creatives, showing that education and mentorship can be a core part of a business strategy.   ⭐️CONNECT WITH RIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @charmedbyrie ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected] ▶︎ WEBSITE: https://charmedbyrie.com/   🔹🔹CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA🔹🔹 ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

Ever wonder how hypnosis can change your life? 🤔 Let's dive into the transformative power of the subconscious! Tag someone who needs to hear this! Meet Mark Yuzuik, a master hypnotist with over 25 years of experience in unlocking potential and breaking limiting beliefs. He reveals how our subconscious drives our actions, often leading us to sabotage our own success. What if you could change the narrative? Imagine associating quitting smoking with joy instead of struggle. Mark shares his unique approach to help others break free from bad habits by redefining their stories. It's not just about motivation; it's about lasting transformation. Have you ever thought about the power of your subconscious? Dive deeper into this conversation and discover how to reprogram your mind for success! KEY TAKEAWAYS:  The subconscious drives behavior. Our subconscious mind controls our actions more than we realize, and can quietly push us toward self-sabotage without our conscious awareness. Stories shape our reality. The narratives we attach to our habits and experiences determine how hard or easy change feels — rewriting those stories is the first step to transformation. Reframing is a powerful tool. Instead of associating change with struggle, linking it to positive emotions (like feeling joy when quitting smoking) makes lasting change far more achievable. Hypnosis goes beyond motivation. Unlike surface-level pep talks, hypnosis works at the subconscious level to create deep, lasting transformation rather than short-term willpower bursts. Breaking limiting beliefs is possible. With the right approach, deeply ingrained mental blocks can be reprogrammed, opening the door to untapped potential and personal growth.   ⭐️CONNECT WITH MARK ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @markyuzuik ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Mark Yuzuik ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected] ▶︎ WEBSITE: https://markyuzuik.com/   🔹🔹CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA🔹🔹 ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

Welcome back to Revenue from Retention — the podcast where we talk about building businesses, health, and a life worth keeping. Today I have two incredible guests joining me. Laura Vogt is a Registered Nurse and BSN-trained travel nurse who has worked on the frontlines of healthcare systems across the United States. And Reef Colman is the Founder and CEO of WeAssist.io, a global talent firm helping businesses scale with the right people, the right way. Today, we're tackling something that challenges everything you've been told about standing out. Whether you're a nurse, an entrepreneur, or anywhere in between. The topic? You Don't Need a Portfolio. You Need a Point of View. In a world full of credentials and résumés, the people who win are the ones who know exactly what they stand for.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  A point of view outperforms a portfolio. In today's crowded market, knowing what you stand for is more powerful than a list of credentials or past work. Standing out isn't about doing more — it's about being clear. Whether you're in healthcare or business, clarity of perspective is what separates you from the competition. Your identity is your edge. Laura's frontline nursing experience and Reef's global talent expertise prove that lived experience, when owned with conviction, becomes your greatest differentiator. Credentials open doors — but conviction keeps you in the room. Résumés get you noticed, but a strong point of view is what makes people remember you and keep coming back. Retention starts with knowing who you are. Whether you're retaining clients, patients, or talent — it all begins with a clear, authentic perspective that people can trust and rally behind. ⭐️CONNECT WITH REEF ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @reefcolman | @Laura_vogt2 ▶︎ WEBSITE: https://weassist.io/ ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected]    CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

People who describe their homes as cluttered have up to 40% higher cortisol levels than those who describe their homes as organized. 82% of people say clutter negatively impacts their mental health and ability to relax at home. Today on the podcast we're joined by a small-business owner and community champion, Paige Collins, the founder and heart behind All Spruced Up Cleaning Co.

As a busy mom of three, she knows firsthand the value of peace of mind—and she's turned that understanding into a business that not only delivers spotless spaces but also gives back to her community in big ways.  From hassle-free scheduling to free cleanings for local cancer patients and ongoing support for nonprofit causes, Paige leads with integrity, intention, and heart. Today we dig into her story, her mindset as a woman in business, and the impact of serving both clients and community with purpose.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Clutter significantly impacts health: People with cluttered homes experience up to 40% higher cortisol levels compared to those with organized spaces, and 82% report that clutter negatively affects their mental health and ability to relax.

There comes a moment in everyone's life where quitting feels easier than continuing. When the results aren't showing. When the doubt gets loud. When the pressure feels heavy. But the people who change their lives aren't the most talented, they're the ones who refuse to give up. Joining us on this episode is Amber Edmonds who is not only a mom but an intreprenuer. Today we're going to be talking about staying in the fight when it would be easier to walk away, trusting the process when you can't see the outcome yet, and remembering why you started in the first place.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Success isn't about talent—it's about persistence. The people who transform their lives aren't necessarily the most gifted; they're the ones who refuse to quit when things get hard. Everyone faces moments where quitting feels easier than continuing. When results aren't visible, doubt creeps in, or pressure mounts, the temptation to walk away is universal. Staying in the fight requires intentional commitment. Even when walking away seems like the simpler option, choosing to keep going is what separates those who achieve their goals from those who don't. Trust the process even when you can't see the outcome. Progress isn't always immediately visible, but continuing forward despite uncertainty is essential to eventual success. Remembering your "why" is crucial for perseverance. Reconnecting with your original motivation and purpose helps you push through difficult moments when results feel distant.   ⭐️CONNECT WITH AMBER ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️   ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @amberedmondsrms   ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Amber Edmonds   ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected]      CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

Why is a running mate so important? They see what you can't. Everyone has blind spots. A true running mate lovingly calls you higher, tells you the truth, and helps course-correct before small missteps become major detours. They keep you accountable when motivation fades. Everyone has seasons of doubt, fatigue, or distraction. A running mate doesn't let you quit on days you'd rather slow down or stop. They remind you of your standards when emotions try to lower them. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Kendrick Kravitz and Kasey Lester. They are a duo in the construction and remodeling space. As general contractors, they specialize in large-scale, high-end renovations and new construction, transforming both interiors and exteriors into true works of art. From luxury remodels and custom builds to additions, pools, landscaping, and hardscapes, their work is all about precision, vision, and execution at the highest level.     KEY TAKEAWAYS: Blind spots require outside perspective - Everyone has limitations in their self-awareness, and a running mate provides the honest feedback needed to identify and correct issues before they become significant problems. Accountability sustains momentum - During inevitable periods of doubt, fatigue, or distraction, a running mate prevents you from quitting or slowing down when you're most tempted to give up on your goals. Emotional regulation through partnership - When emotions threaten to compromise your standards, a running mate serves as an anchor, reminding you of your commitments and helping you maintain consistency. Specialization in high-end construction - Kendrick and Kasey focus exclusively on large-scale luxury renovations and custom new construction, bringing expertise to premium residential projects. Comprehensive transformation capabilities - Their services span the full spectrum of property enhancement, from interior and exterior remodels to pools, landscaping, and hardscapes, delivering complete vision-to-execution solutions.     ⭐️CONNECT WITH KENDRICK AND KASEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️   ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @thekayseylester  |  @klbuildersaz ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected]    CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!
