This week, I hit a wall.

But inside? You’re exhausted. Not just tired soul tired.

In this episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about how I stopped leading from panic… and started leading from peace. It wasn’t a planner. It wasn’t a productivity hack.

It was one habit. One quiet moment.
Every morning at 4AM, I met God before the world could get to me.

Inside this episode:

  • What surviving looked like in my life (and how I hid it well)
  • The moment I realized I had built success without peace
  • How a straightforward question, “God, who do You want me to be today?” reset everything

I used to hate morning routines.

Waking up early? Journaling? Sitting in silence? None of that made sense to me when I was drowning in stress, bills, and burnout. I thought I didn’t have time. But eventually, life knocked me flat—and I had no choice but to change.

In this raw episode, I share how hitting rock bottom led me to a simple, faith-filled morning routine that helped me clear my head, reconnect with God, and find peace in the middle of the chaos.

Here's what you'll hear:

  • What my life looked like before I broke
  • The one question that helped me feel God’s presence again
  • The exact morning routine I still use today
  • Why silence and journaling are more powerful than they sound

Wake up 15 minutes earlier tomorrow.
No phone. No noise.
Just sit down, breathe, and ask God:

“What do You want me to do today?”

Do that for 7 days—and let me know how it goes.

Hey guys, Ryan DeMent here from the Chasing Happiness Podcast. I hope you’re having a fantastic day! This week, we’re diving into some crazy times with a hot topic that affects us all—healthcare and health insurance. I’m thrilled to welcome Harlon Pickett to the show. With over 20 years in the health insurance industry, Harlon has seen it all and is here to blow your mind with game-changing insights.

In this episode, Harlon and I will differentiate between health insurance and healthcare – two things we've been led to believe are the same. Spoiler alert: they’re not! We’ll discuss how the introduction of Obamacare has driven the cost of health insurance through the roof, making it unaffordable for many, and how deductibles and out-of-pocket costs continue to skyrocket.

Harlon shares his journey of discovering better ways to get the care we need without being tied to traditional insurance plans. We’ll explore why 61% of Americans won’t see a doctor unless they're seriously ill and how 70% feel the healthcare system has failed them. Harlon will also reveal how to find high-quality, affordable physicians and clinics and why the average primary care doctor spends ONLY 5-7 minutes with each patient.

If you’re tired of the same old approach and want to learn how to break free from the sheep mentality in healthcare, this episode is for you. Tune in and redefine your healthcare journey!

Hey guys! This week on Chasing Financial Freedom, you guys are stuck with me, Ryan DeMent. I had a last-minute guest cancelation, and I thought now would be a great time to start sharing my entrepreneurial journey with you.

This week I will discuss my last business failure, how it affected me mentally and physically, and how I struggled back in Corporate America. Stay tuned, as this will be a series of 4 or 5 podcasts.

I'm excited to share this with you guys because often when we fail at something, we tend not to talk about it or even think about it much—because we feel like failures or don't want to seem weak by opening up about those failures. But what if, instead of hiding our failures from others or ourselves, we could turn them into lessons? What if we could see our failures as an opportunity for growth to help us succeed?

I know that when things weren't going well in my career and business life, I felt like a failure and emotionally drained from the constant stressors around me.

In this episode of Chasing Happiness, Ryan is joined by Ogen Pogossian. 

From a young age, Ogen Pogossian was always aware of the way she looked. She was constantly surrounded by people who made her believe that her worth as a person was determined by the size of her body. 

So, Ogen started to explore other areas of her life. She found a passion for health and nutrition and began learning as much as she could about the topics. This became her outlet; it was something that made her feel good about herself. Ogen started to see herself in a different light, and she realized that her worth wasn't based on her size after all.

We all know that epic failures can be really tough to overcome. They knock us down, making us feel like we're not good enough and that we'll never succeed.

It's during these tough times that it's easy to give up. To feel like we're not worth the effort and that it's time to move on.

But what if there was another way? What if we could take all that energy we're expending on feeling sorry for ourselves and use it to pivot? To find a new path forward, even when things seem their darkest?

Pivoting is not easy. It requires courage and strength, both of which are in short supply when we're feeling down. But it's often the only way to move forward.

Take a look at your biggest failure. What did you learn from it? How can you use that knowledge to create something new and better? These are tough questions, but they're worth asking.
