• 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

  • Jane Gunn on Conflict “Magic,” The Murky Swamp, and Winning Without Losing the Relationship
    Feb 25 2026

    What if the real cost of conflict isn’t the argument… but what it quietly destroys after?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Jane Gunn — a mediator and conflict resolution expert who has spent decades helping people, businesses, and major institutions handle high-stakes disputes without burning everything down.

    Jane breaks conflict down in a way that instantly clicks: conflict is like rain. You can’t stop it, but you can catch it early, channel it, and prevent it from turning into a flood.

    You’ll learn why conflict escalates fastest when people start collecting allies behind the scenes, why “being right” is fuel for escalation, and how to slow things down long enough to reach something better than a settlement: a resolution where your heart is actually at peace.

    Jane also shares her “Maurice the Mole” framework — a practical map for moving from surface drama to what’s really going on underneath, so you stop reacting and start resolving.

    If you lead a team, run a business, manage partnerships, or just want fewer fights that spiral… this episode gives you tools you can use immediately.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why conflict is natural — and how to catch it early instead of stepping into a deluge
    • The #1 warning sign conflict is about to escalate: “parallel conversations” and ally-collecting
    • How defensiveness turns a small issue into a full-blown war
    • The fastest de-escalation move: acknowledge emotion before debating facts
    • Jane’s “Murky Swamp of Reality” — why skipping it leads to fake resolution and real resentment
    • A simple corporate conflict ladder to stop politics from becoming the default
    • How to listen without surrendering your position
    • The difference between settlement and resolution — and why “winning” can still cost you everything

  • Ep 22: Sandy Cohen on Focus Under Pressure, “Now What?”, and Building Unshakable Confidence
    Feb 18 2026

    Talent gets you in the room. Focus keeps you there.

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Sandy Cohen — a mindset development coach who has worked with elite performers, including professional athletes and Olympians.

    This isn’t a sports-only conversation. Sandy breaks down what separates “almost great” from world-class in any field: business, leadership, parenting, speaking, and performance under pressure.

    You’ll learn why most people confuse awareness with focus, why trying to “block out” pressure backfires, and how to use simple tools like “Now what?” to reset fast after mistakes. Sandy also shares his framework for training the controllables (belief, attitude, grit, focus, emotional control, discipline, self-awareness), plus practical ways to help young athletes build confidence without tying their identity to outcomes.

    If you want a clear system to stay present, perform better, and stop spiraling after a bad moment — this episode will give you the playbook.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why talent is overrated at the highest levels — and what really separates top performers
    • The difference between awareness (window) and focus (mirror)
    • Why your brain doesn’t hear “don’t” — and how that creates performance spirals
    • The “lock in” method: 2–3 controllables that stabilize performance
    • The reset phrase that stops overthinking fast: “Now what?”
    • Process vs outcome: the actions that lead to results
    • Controllables vs impacts vs outcomes — and how to stop mixing them up
    • Confidence: the difference between convincing yourself and reminding yourself
    • How to build belief using highlight-reel proof + “I am / I can / I do” language
    • How parents can reduce pressure and help kids step into “compete mode”

  • Ep 21: Jenna Jameson: Scarcity, Mainstream Marketing, and the $100M Club Jenna Exit
    Feb 11 2026

    What does it actually take to rise above everyone else in a brutally crowded industry—and turn personal talent into a company worth over $100 million?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Jenna Jamison to break down how she transformed herself from a performer into a business operator, brand architect, and ultimately the founder of Club Jenna—one of the most successful exits in entertainment history.

    This conversation isn’t about one industry. It’s about principles that apply to any entrepreneur, creator, or high performer trying to cut through noise. Jenna explains why looks were never the advantage, why flooding the market kills demand, and how scarcity, preparation, positioning, and mainstream attention changed everything.

    From buying a Times Square billboard when no one thought it was possible, to intentionally limiting output, to building a “vault” of assets that gave her massive leverage in negotiations—this episode is a masterclass in turning visibility into value and fame into equity.

    If you’re building a brand, a company, or a reputation in a noisy market, this episode shows what actually makes the difference.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why talent alone is overrated in crowded markets
    • How scarcity beats volume when building long-term demand
    • Why Jenna treated her career like a CEO—not just a performer
    • The strategy behind the Times Square billboard that made international news
    • How mainstream PR and media created leverage far outside her industry
    • Why learning production, marketing, and distribution changed her power position
    • How Club Jenna was built as a real business—not just income
    • The value of building a “vault” of assets instead of living release-to-release
    • How the Playboy acquisition was structured (upfront + backend leverage)
    • Why boundaries, preparation, and focus outperformed hype

  • Ep 20: Michael Clark on AI, UBI Myths, Data as the New Utility & Why Humans Still Matter
    Feb 4 2026

    What if the biggest risk with AI isn’t the tech… but the way we’re thinking about it?

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Michael Clark — author of Our Moment and a global advisor on the future of work, data, and AI. Michael has advised executives, central banks, and governments, and previously led global digital transformation strategy consulting at Mastercard.

    This is not a “50 tools” conversation. It’s a deep discussion on what AI is doing to work, leadership, education, and society — and why the real advantage won’t be having AI… but having people who can think alongside it.

    Michael breaks down why leaders keep treating AI like “just software,” why that’s a mistake, and how the next era belongs to ability-based organizations — where judgment, reasoning, and strong decision-making matter more than job titles. We also get into data ownership, trust, regulation, and why “just give everyone UBI” is often used as a shortcut instead of doing the harder work of fixing systems that are outdated.

    If you lead a team, run a business, or simply want to stay sharp as the rules change fast, this episode will reframe how you look at what’s coming.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why “AI vs humans” is the wrong frame — and what “collaborative intelligence” looks like
    • The UBI argument Michael calls a “shortcut” — and what we’re avoiding by using it
    • Why the future is ability-based teams, not resume-based hiring
    • The difference between skills and real abilities (judgment, ethics, reasoning, learning agility)
    • Why leaders should adopt AI strategically — one use-case at a time
    • Why time is the hidden “AI dividend,” and why most people will waste it
    • Data inclusion: who gets left out of AI systems — and why it matters
    • Why trust, licensing, and regulation may slow model growth more than “innovation limits”
    • Why policy needs adaptive frameworks, not slow-moving rulebooks
    • The question leaders should ask weekly: “Did we make impact?”

  • Ep 19: AI for Entrepreneurs: Facts Over Stories, Better Decisions Faster (Jairek Robbins | Tony Robbins’ Son)
    Jan 28 2026

    Most entrepreneurs think they know how they’re doing — until the numbers say otherwise.

    In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Jairek Robbins, entrepreneur and performance coach (and yes, the son of Tony Robbins) for a conversation that cuts through the hype and gets real about AI, decision-making, and what actually drives business results.

    Jairek explains why founders get trapped in “good stories” like we’re trending up or best year ever… even when the business is quietly bleeding. His point is simple: you can’t run a company on vibes. You need facts, comparables, and the right metrics — and AI can help you get there faster, as long as you use it with guardrails.

    They break down what to track, how to read business reality like a GPS with a true starting point, why copying billion-dollar company systems can break smaller teams, and how to use AI to spot blind spots, build strategy, and even create custom learning plans without getting misled by confident nonsense.

    If you’re building a business in 2026 and trying to stay sharp while the rules keep changing, this episode will save you time, money, and a whole lot of guessing.

    Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why “best year ever” can still mean you’re losing money
    • The difference between facts and founder narratives
    • How to define “where you are” like a GPS starting point
    • Why context matters: today vs last week vs last year vs targets
    • The metrics that reveal real health beyond revenue
    • Why team happiness and customer happiness predict longevity
    • What buyers and investors look for beyond top-line numbers
    • How founders copy the wrong systems at the wrong stage
    • Why “right vehicle for the terrain” matters in business growth
    • How to use AI as an analyst without letting it mislead you
    • A simple way to build custom learning plans with AI
    • Why cross-checking outputs is smart before big decisions
