As I record this episode, the news is full of a major winter storm forecast. And by the time you’re listening, you already know what happened. That’s the doorway into today’s real topic.

Because storms reveal something deeper. The forecast can steal your peace before anything happens. The fear of the future can rob your present joy. And the fear of the past can do it too.

In this short solo episode, I give you a practical tool you can use in real storms and mental storms. Control, Influence, Release. This is how you shift from anxious energy to grounded energy and create your next success from where you actually have power.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• How to sort any stressor into control, influence, or release
• The Control Filter that calms your nervous system quickly
• The difference between preparing and rehearsing
• How this applies to career uncertainty and feeling miserable at work
• A 30 second reset you can use anytime

If you want to go deeper and assess how much your mind is working for you versus against you, email me. I’ll send you two free assessments and invite you to a one on one call to talk through what you learn and what it means for your next success.

What happens when a chemist and lifelong martial artist decides to fix his business finances like a lab experiment?

In this episode, Dr. Caroline Sangal talks with with Dr. Dan Bamper, a PhD chemist, teacher, martial artist, and Profit Coach who now serves as a fractional CFO for 7 figure contractors and trades business owners.

Dan shares how an eight year PhD journey, burnout in grad school, a 270 student martial arts school, and a high level role at a nuclear waste repository all led to his current work. Along the way, he discovered that the same skills that helped him run complex experiments could be used to read financial data, build systems, and help business owners finally see where their money is going.

You will hear how he scaled his own dojo by roughly 150 thousand dollars in a year, why he left a secure government job, and how he now helps business owners keep more of the money they make without endless hustle.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How martial arts shaped Dan’s mindset around discipline, perseverance, and leadership
• The reality of grad school burnout and how returning to martial arts helped him reconnect with his own power
• What he learned inside the Department of Energy working on the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and how that sharpened his systems thinking
• How he turned a bookkeeping side hustle into Black Belt Ledgers and began helping 7 figure contractors add six figures in profit
• The simple metrics he tracks so owners can stop guessing and start making data informed decisions
