  • Ep 26: Sharon Jessop on 102 Half Marathons, Mental Toughness & Turning Purpose Into Discipline
    Mar 18 2026

    What would it take for you to keep going… when your body is breaking, your mind is doubting, and quitting feels justified?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Sharon Jessop — endurance athlete, speaker, and conservation advocate — who ran 102 consecutive half marathons while raising awareness for rhino conservation.

    This isn’t just a story about running. It’s a deep look into discipline, purpose, resilience, and mental strength — and how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results when they connect to something bigger than themselves.

    Sharon shares the raw reality behind her world-record journey: running through pain, falling and getting back up, managing a business while pushing her body daily, and staying committed long after motivation disappeared.

    She also breaks down her concept of becoming an “athlete of the mind” — applying the same principles elite athletes use to business, leadership, and life.

    If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, discipline, or following through on your goals… this episode will shift how you think about what’s possible.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • How Sharon ran 102 consecutive half marathons (and why she kept going)
    • The moment she almost quit on day two — and what changed everything
    • Why motivation fades and discipline must take over
    • How a strong “why” removes the option of quitting
    • The mindset shift that turns pain into progress
    • How to keep moving forward after injury, setbacks, and bad days
    • What it means to become an “athlete of the mind”
    • How to apply athlete-level discipline to business and life
    • Why being busy is not the same as being effective
    • How to use your personal talents to create real impact

  • Ep 25: Steve Farber on Love in Business, Culture That Drives Loyalty, and Why Great Teams Commit Instead of Comply
    Mar 11 2026

    What if the real edge in business isn’t hustle, strategy, or even talent… but love?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Steve Farber — leadership expert, culture strategist, and author of Love Is Just Damn Good Business — to unpack a word most leaders avoid and almost every great company needs more of.

    Steve explains why the strongest businesses don’t win by pushing people harder. They win by creating cultures where employees care deeply, customers stay loyal, and standards rise because people want to do great work.

    This conversation goes far beyond feel-good leadership. Steve breaks down what love actually looks like in practice: stronger accountability, clearer standards, better customer experiences, more trust, and cultures where people commit instead of just comply.

    He also shares the story of Trailer Bridge — a company that rebuilt itself from bankruptcy by putting people, customers, and culture first — and why even small symbolic decisions can completely change the way a company performs.

    If you lead a team, run a business, or want to build something people rave about, this episode gives you a practical framework for turning culture into a real competitive advantage.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why love in business is not soft — it’s a performance standard
    • The difference between employees who comply and teams who truly commit
    • Why customer satisfaction is too low a target
    • The better question: “What would make our customers love us?”
    • How great cultures create loyalty from both employees and clients
    • Why symbolic leadership actions matter more than most managers realize
    • The Trailer Bridge turnaround story: from bankruptcy to high performance
    • Why culture is not what you say — it’s what you operationalize
    • How to build a workplace people genuinely love being part of
    • Why real love in business includes accountability, hard conversations, and sometimes letting people go

  • Dr. John Demartini on Values, Motivation, and Why Your Emotions Aren’t What You Think
    Mar 4 2026

    What if the reason you need motivation… is because you’re chasing the wrong values?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Dr. John Demartini — researcher, author, and human behavior expert — to break down what truly drives performance, discipline, and fulfillment.

    Dr. Demartini explains that every human being lives by a hierarchy of values — and your life already reveals them. The problem? Most people try to live what they think they “should” value instead of what actually drives them.

    We unpack why motivation is often a symptom of misalignment, how leaders can dramatically increase engagement by linking tasks to meaning, and how the Demartini Method helps dissolve emotional volatility by revealing the information you’re missing.

    From anxiety and resentment to inspiration and leadership — this episode challenges how you think about emotions, behavior, and personal growth.

    If you want to understand yourself more deeply, lead better, or stop feeling pulled around by emotional reactions… this conversation will shift your perspective.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why your calendar, spending, and energy already reveal your true values
    • The difference between motivation and intrinsic inspiration
    • Why needing constant motivation is often a red flag
    • How leaders can increase team engagement without micromanaging
    • The exact question to ask to link tasks to meaning
    • Why emotional triggers happen when you’re only seeing one side
    • How the Demartini Method dissolves resentment, shame, and anxiety
    • Why trauma may be perception — not just circumstance
    • The link between powerlessness and superhero fantasies
    • How to stop projecting power outside yourself
