   Automate and Excel - No Excuses

   Soul Shifters, this one’s about Challenge Nine: Automate and Excel, No Excuses. Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud open with Goggins’ line about taking detailed accountability when you fail, and ask whether failure becomes your new north star or just drags you south. Key Discussion Points Win or Learn: Both hosts keep a coach who frames it the same way, you either win or you learn, failure isn’t really in the vocabulary. Kyle walks into decisions already picturing the worst case so he’s not caught off guard by it. Risk vs. Reward: As a financial coach, Sapphire weighs risk against reward with her clients. She shares becoming a teen mom at 14 and how everyone around her called it a failure, but she refused to see it that way, quoting the Einstein line she put on her own high school graduation invitation: in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. Why We Fixate on the Bad: They dig into why people remember failures harder than wins. Sapphire ties it to the law of attraction, if you keep replaying what went wrong, you keep attracting more of it. The fix is treating failure as data, the way coaches review game tape to adjust the playbook. The Chicago Pivot: Sapphire tells the story of deciding at 32 to leave Savannah, getting accepted into a clinical research master’s program in Chicago, flying out with no winter coat, and realizing the cost of living didn’t match the job market. She pivoted to Atlanta instead, got a job at Kaiser, and started investing in real estate, the detour that actually built her path. Weather as Metaphor: Kyle matches it with his own story of flying to San Francisco in July with no jacket because his friend forgot to warn him it gets cold, and watching 73 degree weather turn foggy and freezing in thirty minutes. Both land on the same point, life changes on a dime and you often don’t know what you don’t know. Books That Shift Things: Sapphire mentions Adam Grant’s Think Again as her 2025 read and The Gap and the Game by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan as her 2026 pick, using the gap-versus-game framing to catch herself measuring against an impossible ideal instead of her own progress. Environment and Getting Help: They agree environment decides a lot of outcomes, the people around you, the self-talk you’re running. Kyle adds that when effort isn’t producing results, that’s the sign to bring in outside help, a coach, a therapist, someone who can see the gaps you can’t. Coaching to the Person: Using DISC styles and even the astrology angle, both talk about adjusting their coaching to fit the individual instead of forcing one approach on everyone, the way a good coach builds the game plan around the player. Uncommon Among Uncommon: They close on Goggins’ phrase about becoming uncommon among uncommon people, tying it to standing apart even when people without your experience try to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. Soul Shifter Challenge Pick one failure or setback. Write down what happened, what you controlled, what you missed, and what you’ll do differently next time. Drop it in the comments. Core Takeaway Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of it. The question isn’t whether you’ll fail, it’s whether you treat it as proof you can’t or data that teaches you how. Final words: Coach Kyle: “Are you being loyal to your fears?” Please Like, Comment, & Share!

   69 Compartmentalize Your Time

   Happy birthday, Soul Shift Sessions! Episode 69 lands right as the podcast turns two. Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud keep working through David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me with Challenge Eight: Compartmentalizing Your Time. They agree with Goggins on structure, but push back on his one-task-at-a-time approach. Key Discussion Points One Task vs. Many: Both hosts time block everything, but neither does well on a single task. Kyle bounces between an AI project, podcast editing, and revenue work so nothing sits idle while he waits. Sapphire sometimes needs ten things going to focus on one, and uses a timer to rein it in. They also point out that Goggins had military-level training behind his focus. Organized Chaos: Sapphire explains where her company name came from, a college-era backseat full of books, papers, and diaper bags that looked like a mess but ran on a system. Kyle remembers making his room worse before it got better, and doing homework during TV commercials. Less Stuff, More Room: Sapphire hauled a lifetime of "hot girl" suitcases to Hawaii and learned how few things she used. Kyle admits his weakness for screws and fasteners. Their rule is one thing in, two or three out, and keep a donation bag handy. Time or Priority: Kyle says he never says "I don't have time." He checks the calendar, ranks what matters, and asks what's stealing his time. Sapphire separates busyness from purpose, and compares alignment to a car's tires. Capacity, Comparison, and Environment: Social media is a few edited seconds of someone's life, so you can end up comparing your chapter one to their chapter ten. Fruit gets noticed, roots don't. Cuban seeds grown in Nicaragua turn out different because of the soil. Sapphire points to Home Depot's free Pathway to Pro trade courses and says to look in the mirror and declare you can change your life. That's On Me: Kyle shares a definition of responsibility he picked up working with at-risk youth, using the football coach who owns every win and every loss. Reminders and Air Signs: Every important meeting on Kyle's calendar gets a one-hour, 15-minute, and five-minute reminder. They also debate a talking reminder in your own voice, and Tabasco vs. Louisiana hot sauce (no winner). Soul Shifter ChallengeSchedule one day around four categories: work, rest, relationships, and personal growth. Block the time, focus on one thing at a time, and tell us in the comments how it went. Core Takeaway Compartmentalizing your time is the foundation, but how you do it has to fit you. Put it on the calendar, rank what matters, and take responsibility for how the day goes. Final words: Coach Kyle: "What we attend to becomes our life." Coach Sapphire: "Where your focus goes, energy flows." Please Like, Comment, & Share!

   68 Dismantle Your Governor

   Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud return to their breakdown of David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me, taking on Challenge Seven: Dismantling Your Governor. They look at the mental threshold that tells you to quit long before your real limits, and how simple action, trusted community, and a little healthy delusion help you push past it. Key Discussion Points The Function of the Governor: Kyle and Sapphire break down the automotive metaphor. A car's governor does not shut the engine off, it caps the top speed well short of what the car can do. The mind works the same way, flashing warning signs and urging you to conserve energy long before your tank is truly empty. When the Voice Screams to Bail: Kyle shares a recent fast group ride. Separated from the pack after a turn at mile 14, his inner voice started shouting to bail and head back to the parking lot. The ride leader, Scott, hung back to give him a draft. Because someone else was willing to put in the effort to bridge the gap, Kyle stayed on the wheel and rejoined the pack, proof that outside accountability can silence the governor. Ignorance as an Advantage: Sometimes the easiest way to disable mental limits is removing the data that triggers them. Kyle talks about turning off his bike's speedometer so he does not back off when speeds climb. Sapphire looks back at being an 18-year-old mother walking down Abercorn Street in Savannah, applying at every storefront without a resume, credentials, or overthinking. The Red Cross called her in for a driver position before realizing she did not have a license, and she landed a steady job at Shabazz Seafood simply by showing up and asking. Healthy Delusion and Guarding the Vision: Both hosts discuss believing you can do something before the proof is lined up. Sapphire reflects on leaving Savannah at 32 for graduate studies in Atlanta. After skepticism from locals who could not see past the city limits, a colleague advised her to stop broadcasting her plans. Keeping big goals quiet until they are locked in keeps other people's fears from triggering your own governor. Boundaries Around Vulnerability: Referencing Brené Brown, Kyle and Sapphire touch on the necessity of knowing who has earned the right to hear your real goals. Kyle reflects on watching family dynamics shift when personal choices create tension, noting that people often project their own unresolved trauma when evaluating someone else's life path. Confronting Doubt Instead of Hosting It: The hosts agree that ignoring negative voices does not work. When self-doubt knocks at the door, acknowledge it through the peephole, ask what it wants, and send it on its way instead of letting it move into the spare bedroom. Referencing Knicks guard Jalen Brunson coming back from a 29-point deficit, Kyle points out that admitting doubt is normal, and the real question is deciding what action to take next. Being the Light: Closing out the conversation, Kyle offers a thought on impact: you can either be the candle bringing light into a dark space, or you can be the mirror reflecting that light to make it travel even further. Core Takeaway Your mind will almost always tell you to back off before your body actually needs to stop. Pushing past that barrier does not require complicated systems. It takes keeping the task simple, guarding who has access to your goals, and leaning on people who refuse to let you throw in the towel. Final words: Coach Kyle: "There are two ways of spreading light: be the candle or be the mirror." Coach Sapphire: "You are not alone." Please Like, Comment, & Share!
