Mindset Matters - Episode #197 - Clarity Equals Velocity: The Real Reason You Feel Stuck

In this insightful and emotionally honest episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore one of their core philosophies: clarity equals velocity. Through personal anecdotes, relationship dynamics, and mental performance coaching principles, they unpack what clarity really means and why it is often more layered and elusive than we realize.
They begin by acknowledging that many people aren't even clear that they lack clarity. Like cleaning a house and discovering hidden dust in the corners, gaining clarity requires digging deeper and peeling back layers of beliefs, assumptions, and emotional resistance. Awareness is only the first step. Action must follow. Without it, clarity is just another thought floating in the clutter of indecision.
Steffany shares how people often hide behind confusion or delay tactics to avoid taking responsibility for the life they say they want. Patrick echoes that true transformation only happens when we stop blaming, stop making excuses, and fully own our role in the outcomes we’re experiencing.
They touch on the emotional cost of caring too much about what others think—how judgment, fear, and societal expectations can block us from making aligned decisions. Whether it's choosing a career path to please a parent or avoiding a courageous conversation, the weight of perceived judgment often keeps us stuck.
The episode also highlights the power of authentic relationships as mirrors that reflect our growth edges, and how discomfort within those dynamics often signals an opportunity for deeper self-awareness.
Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that clarity does not always come in a lightning bolt—it comes from small steps, tough questions, and owning our truth one decision at a time. When you get clear, you move faster and with purpose.

Mindset Matters - Episode #196 - The Michelangelo Effect: Chipping Away to Discover Your True Self

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into a concept they call The Michelangelo Effect. Inspired by the legendary sculptor who claimed to “see the angel in the marble and carve until he set him free,” they explore how personal transformation is not about adding more to our lives, but about removing what no longer serves us.
Too often, we get caught up in the pursuit of “more” — more doing, more goals, more identities. But what if the real journey is about subtracting the noise, outdated beliefs, and false identities we've picked up along the way? The conversation emphasizes that the masterpiece already exists within us, and our job is to chip away the emotional clutter, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ego’s need to be right.
Patrick shares candid reflections from his own life about how aging has offered new clarity. He contrasts the drive for more during his younger years with his current desire to simplify and uncover deeper truths. Steffany highlights how in coaching, it's not about fixing people but helping them remove the layers that hide their true potential.
Whether it's in our health, relationships, careers, or personal development, this episode invites listeners to ask: What am I willing to remove? Who are the sculptors in my life? And am I brave enough to be one for someone else?
This is a conversation about authenticity, acceptance, and the courage to face the parts of ourselves that no longer align with who we truly are. The MindShui path is not about becoming — it’s about uncovering.

Mindset Matters – Episode #195 – Throwback Thursday: Are You Tired or Just Leaking Energy? Find Out Now

In this energizing throwback Thursday episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Olympic mental performance coach Steffany Hanlen dive deep into a topic that quietly drains our potential: energy leaks. These subtle, often unnoticed drains on our mental, emotional, and physical energy can have a major impact on focus, creativity, and overall well-being.
Patrick and Steffany begin by exploring how energy leaks often show up in the form of procrastination, clutter, incomplete tasks, and emotional baggage. From unfiled paperwork to unsaid conversations, these seemingly small “incompletions” clutter the mind and zap energy. Whether it’s avoiding a tough email, dodging a difficult conversation, or ruminating over the past or future, every bit of unresolved thought consumes vital energy.
They emphasize that energy leaks are often rooted in unmet expectations, broken self-promises, or distractions like gossip and social media. One key insight is that your energy is a limited resource—where you spend it matters. Even high-performing entrepreneurs and elite athletes fall victim to energy drains from disorganization or scattered focus.
Steffany offers a powerful tool: make a list of your incompletions and energy leaks. Simply identifying them is the first step toward reclaiming that energy. Ask yourself, “Is this something I can close right now?” If not, put it on a “not now” list and release the guilt. Patrick and Steffany also share how clearing just one incompletion can begin to restore mental clarity and emotional bandwidth.
This episode is a wake-up call to take inventory of what’s leaking your energy and how to intentionally plug those holes. Whether through mono-tasking, clear communication, or cleaning up emotional clutter, you’ll walk away with actionable tools to recharge your inner generator and create more space for what really matters.

Mindset Matters - Episode #194 - Clarity Equals Velocity: The Power of MindShui Thinking

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany introduce and unpack a transformative approach they call “MindShui” – a method inspired by Feng Shui, but designed for the mind. Rather than just focusing on mindset, which Patrick explains has become an overused term, MindShui is about intentionally decluttering your thoughts, uncovering hidden beliefs, and aligning your inner world to create clarity and momentum in life.
Steffany flips the script by putting Patrick in the hot seat, asking him to share the origin and evolution of MindShui. He explains how it emerged from years of coaching, leadership, and personal development work, and emphasizes that clarity doesn’t come from more information but from removing the internal noise that blocks our awareness and intuition.
Together, they explore how mental clutter can stem from hidden beliefs, outdated narratives, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure to perform. When this clutter is cleared or organized with awareness, we experience lightness, freedom, and the ability to be more fully present. It’s about creating mental space so you can lead from your authentic self and move through life with intention rather than reaction.
Steffany reflects on how even simple language shifts—like redefining “busy” as “full”—can change how we see ourselves and the world. They also highlight the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and conscious choice in building resilience and inner sovereignty.
Ultimately, The MindShui Way is a practice. It is about becoming who you truly are by shedding the noise of who you are not. This episode offers a refreshing and empowering framework for anyone seeking clarity, peace of mind, and a more purposeful way of living.

Mindset Matters - Episode #193 - Partner With Your Ego: How to Stop Battling Yourself

In this powerful episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany take a deep dive into a topic that touches every aspect of our daily lives: the ego. Titled Partner With Your Ego, this conversation explores what it really means to stop battling your ego and instead learn how to understand it, work with it and grow through it.
Patrick opens by reframing the ego as neither friend nor enemy but as a lifelong companion. Together, they explore insights from leading thinkers like Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Gabor Maté, Michael Singer, Carl Jung, Richard Rohr and Brené Brown. Each expert offers a fresh lens: Tolle reminds us the ego clings to false identities and craves being right, while Maté reframes the ego as a protective child shaped by early environments. Singer calls the ego our restless inner narrator, Jung invites us to integrate our shadow selves and Rohr highlights the masks we wear to seek approval and control.
Patrick and Steffany unpack how our need to be right, loved or in control often reveals hidden fears and old wounds. They challenge listeners to ask what their ego is still protecting and how old patterns may be blocking deeper connections, success and peace of mind.
Steffany shares how small moments of self-awareness - noticing when we defend ourselves, seek control or put on masks - can create profound shifts. They urge listeners to question their identity, drop the armor and stand firm in their authentic values.
If you’re ready to shift from fighting your ego to partnering with it for growth, clarity and real connection, this episode delivers wisdom, laughter and practical tools to help you show up as your truest self.

TEDM – Matt Theriault – Building Epic Wealth, Through the Power of Real Estate (Episode 223)

Matt Theriault is the Founder of Epic Real Estate™. Matt is a fifth-generation California native and Desert Storm Veteran (USMC) and has worked as a full-time real estate professional since 2003. After building a small real estate empire without using one dime of his own money or one point of his own credit (mostly because he was lacking both when he started), he discovered that he has a knack for simplifying the complicated, implementing systems and producing desirable results for himself and others.
When you get down to it, Matt is an ordinary guy who once had a goal to be successful in real estate and become a master of the “multiple streams of passive income” concept. As an experienced and accomplished professional, Matt felt writing and teaching was the next logical step in his career. Also, because of the issues surrounding the economy, he is especially interested in informing the public of what multiple streams of income, cash flow and investing in real estate can do for them.
In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the world of real estate investing. Matt shares how he went from owning a multi-million-dollar record label, to flat broke, to financially free by building multiple streams of income starting with strategic property investing. A fork in the road moment was just what Matt needed to shift his mindset and find a new path to break out of the paycheque-to-paycheque grind he found himself in. Matt drops practical tips, a few hard-earned lessons and the gratitude he feels for the business and life vision he and his wife Mercedes share, that makes working together not only possible, but powerful. Listen in to this episode for insights that show real estate investing can be the gateway to lasting financial freedom.

Mindset Matters - Episode #192 - I’m Not Enough? The Hidden Belief Blocking Your Purpose

In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany unpack a foundational truth: true health, authentic freedom, and purposeful living all begin within.
The conversation starts with a compelling insight: “You don’t need to find your purpose—you need to clear the noise so it can find you.” Clarity, they argue, isn’t about trying harder—it’s about removing what’s in the way. Drawing from personal experience and coaching conversations, Patrick and Steffany explore how hidden beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’m not worthy” silently shape our behaviours, decisions, and ultimately, our sense of self-worth.
The episode dives deep into the seven dimensions of holistic health—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, vocational, financial, and social—and how imbalance in any area can obstruct our ability to live fully aligned. Listeners are invited to reflect on which “buckets” in their life are running low and how ignoring these areas can lead to dissatisfaction, confusion, and even the illusion of purpose that’s really just distraction.
Freedom, the duo explains, isn’t just financial. True freedom is liberation from internal constraints—our fears, ego-driven stories, and limiting beliefs. They emphasize that many chase purpose externally, when in reality, purpose emerges when we align with our values, clear our minds (the “Mind Shui” method), and reconnect with what truly matters.
This episode is a heartfelt invitation to ask different questions, to pause, to become aware, and to courageously sit with yourself—even in silence. Because ultimately, your purpose isn't out there—it's in you, waiting for space to unfold.

Mindset Matters – Episode #191 – From Micro Adjustments to Massive Success: The Kaizen Mindset Explained

Small Shifts, Big Change – Mindset Matters Podcast Ep. 191
In this episode, hosts Patrick and Steffany unpack the power of Kaizen—the Japanese philosophy of continuous, incremental improvement—showing how “small shifts create big changes.” Framed by Patrick’s concept of “Mind Shui” (feng shui for the mind) and Steffany’s 25-year “Quantum Speed” training method, they demonstrate that the tiniest tweak in perception or technique can re-route our entire trajectory, whether in athletics, business, parenting, or personal growth.
Key talking points
Kaizen Basics: Kai = change, Zen = good. Continuous, “change-good” thinking rewires habits without the burnout of dramatic overhauls.
Quantum Paradox: In physics a quantum is the smallest measurable unit, yet “quantum leap” in popular language signals a giant jump. The hosts bridge that paradox: micro-adjustments (e.g., a skater’s hip angle, an investor’s 30-minute morning routine) compound into macro results.
Flight Analogy: – Like a pilot subtly correcting course from Vancouver to Toronto, we must make real-time mindset adjustments to reach long-term goals.
Economic & Performance Cycles: Boom-and-slump markets, Olympic quadrennials, and even garden seasons all reward those who respect timing, plant seeds early, and stay agile.
Self-Talk Audit: Replacing negative inner dialogue with conscious awareness is a low-effort, high-impact tweak—“clarity equals velocity.”
Champions’ Paradox: High performers thrive by slowing down to speed up, prioritizing technique, rest, and reflection over constant hustle.
Patrick and Steffany close by reminding listeners that most of us aren’t yet “doing the best we can—we’re doing the best we know how.” The invitation: choose one tiny, repeatable action today—wake up 30 minutes earlier, change your drive route, cut 10 minutes of doom-scrolling—and watch your personal and professional results compound exponentially.
