MindShui Way – Episode #260 - Starting Over After 50? Why It's Not a Midlife Crisis, It's a New Era
2026/10/22
What happens when the life you've spent decades building no longer feels like the life you want to live?
The kids move out. Your career stops inspiring you. A relationship changes. Retirement approaches. Or perhaps you've achieved everything you thought you wanted, only to find yourself asking a surprisingly uncomfortable question: Now what?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen Francey explore the identity shifts that often accompany life's major transitions, particularly as we move through our 40s, 50s and beyond.
Drawing on decades of personal experience and performance coaching, they challenge the idea that feeling lost or unfulfilled means something is fundamentally wrong with your life. Sometimes, what feels like a midlife crisis is simply the beginning of a new era.
Steffany shares a revealing story about leaving her role as skating coach for the Edmonton Oilers and discovering how deeply her identity had become attached to her professional title. Her experience illustrates what happens when the roles that once defined us disappear, and why separating who we are from what we do is essential to navigating change.
Patrick brings the conversation back to personal responsibility, values and the importance of examining what got us here before deciding where we want to go next. Together, they discuss the power of reflection, the discomfort of uncertainty, and why meaningful change doesn't necessarily require abandoning everything we've built.
They also explore an often-overlooked aspect of transition: the importance of grieving what we're leaving behind while celebrating what lies ahead.
Whether you're facing an empty nest, considering a career change, navigating a relationship shift or simply questioning what's next, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on embracing change with greater awareness, intention and clarity.
Your next chapter doesn't have to begin with a crisis. It can begin with a conscious choice.
MindShui Way – Episode #259 - Stop Looking Outside Yourself for the Answer
2026/10/15
We have access to more information about how to live than any generation before us. How to be happier. How to stop overthinking. How to become more disciplined. How to build better relationships. How to change our lives.
And yet, we keep searching.
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick and Steffany explore what may be underneath all of those “how do I?” questions: have we become so externally referenced that we’ve lost touch with our own internal compass?
From social media and comparison to expectations around success, relationships, work and even happiness, there is no shortage of outside influence telling us who we should be and what a good life should look like. The danger is that somewhere along the way, those external standards can quietly begin shaping our identity.
Patrick and Steffany bring the conversation back to one of the foundations of self-mastery: knowing yourself. What are your values? Which of those values are genuinely yours? What matters to you when nobody else is watching?
Steffany shares a practice she uses with world-class athletes: deliberately creating periods of silence after training or competition. No podcast. No music. No television. Just quiet. Because silence creates stillness, stillness creates discernment, and discernment creates the space for choice.
They also unpack some of the questions millions of people are asking: How do I stop procrastinating? How do I become happier? How do I stop overthinking? How do I become more consistent? How do I change my life?
Perhaps the answer isn’t always another piece of information.
Sometimes the work is turning down the noise long enough to hear yourself again.
Because the journey toward self-mastery isn’t outside of you. It’s an inside job.
Episode #256 - David Beahm - Gold, Silver & Wealth Preservation: What Every Investor Should Know with David Beahm
2026/10/13
What does it really mean to protect your wealth in a world of rising debt, persistent inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and growing questions about the stability of our financial systems?
In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire, Patrick Francey sits down with David Beahm, President and CEO of Blanchard and Company, to explore the role of gold, silver, and other precious metals in building financial resilience.
Drawing on his extensive experience in banking and precious metals, David challenges conventional thinking about investing. Rather than viewing gold solely as an asset purchased for appreciation, he explains why many investors consider it a form of financial insurance, something intended to preserve purchasing power and provide protection when traditional markets face uncertainty.
Patrick and David examine the implications of government debt, currency debasement, and central bank gold purchases, along with the growing industrial demand for silver driven by emerging technologies and infrastructure. They also explore the differences between owning physical metals, investing in ETFs, and purchasing mining stocks.
For anyone considering precious metals, the conversation gets practical. David explains dealer premiums, bid-ask spreads, secure storage options, liquidity, and the importance of working with reputable companies. He also highlights common mistakes, including purchasing collectible coins when the actual goal is exposure to the underlying metal.
Beyond the financial discussion, David shares his professional journey from commercial banking to leading Blanchard and Company, the lessons he learned during periods of economic uncertainty, and the importance of preparation.
The conversation closes on a deeply personal note as David reflects on loss, gratitude, and the family and friends who have supported him through a difficult chapter.
Ultimately, this episode isn't about predicting the next financial crisis. It's about asking better questions, understanding your exposure to risk, and making thoughtful decisions today that may protect your financial future tomorrow.

MindShui Way – Episode #258 - Feeling Stuck? Your Systems May Be the Problem
2026/10/08
What if feeling stuck has less to do with discipline, motivation or willpower, and more to do with the systems you’re living inside?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen explore how the systems, routines and unconscious habits operating in the background of our lives can either move us toward what we want or quietly keep us exactly where we are.
Patrick begins with a fundamental question: What are you working backwards from? Before creating better habits, setting goals or trying harder, we need clarity about where we actually want to go. From there, systems become the framework that helps turn an intention into consistent action.
Drawing from Steffany’s decades of experience coaching elite athletes, they explore why high performance is rarely built on willpower alone. Athletes preparing for a world championship or Olympic podium create systems around training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, preparation and focus. The same principle applies to business, relationships, family life and personal growth.
Patrick and Steffany also unpack the important difference between routines and systems. A routine may nurture and support you, while a system creates a repeatable structure that reduces unnecessary decisions and keeps you aligned with a larger outcome.
But systems shouldn’t become rigid forms of control. As our circumstances, values and goals evolve, our systems need to evolve with us. What worked five years ago may no longer support who we are becoming.
The invitation in this episode is simple: take a look at the systems already operating in your life. Are they intentionally designed around where you want to go, or are they simply producing more of what you already have?
Because clarity creates direction, but the systems you build determine whether you actually get there.
MindShui Way – Episode #257 - Your Whole Life Isn’t Stuck: How to Find What’s Really Holding You Back
2026/10/01
When life feels heavy, it is easy to make a sweeping conclusion: everything is wrong. But what if your whole life is not actually stuck? What if one area has become difficult enough that it is colouring the way you see everything else?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick and Steffany explore seven areas of life where “stuckness” tends to hide: mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, financial, vocational and relational. Rather than treating dissatisfaction as one overwhelming problem, they challenge us to separate the pieces and identify where the friction is really coming from.
The conversation begins with the stories we continue to tell ourselves, particularly those rooted in the past. Patrick and Steffany discuss how old experiences, memories and beliefs can become part of our identity long after they have stopped serving us. Self-awareness is only the beginning. The deeper work is asking whether the story we are carrying is still true, and whether we want it defining who we are today.
From there, they explore what happens when our values and choices fall out of alignment, when constant information leaves no room for reflection, when our bodies are depleted, when financial pressure occupies too much mental space, or when our work no longer fits the person we are becoming. They also examine relationships, boundaries and the difference between needing another person to complete us and entering relationships as whole individuals.
Throughout the conversation, one idea keeps resurfacing: getting unstuck does not necessarily require blowing up your life. Sometimes it means creating space, changing perspective, questioning an old story or, as Steffany puts it, simply taking one rock out of the backpack.
Before deciding that everything is broken, slow down and look more closely. Your whole life may not need fixing. You may simply need to identify where the clutter is and start there.
Episode #255 - Pauline Nguyen - Beyond Mindset: Pauline Nguyen on Emotional Mastery
2026/09/29
“We do not climb mountains so people can see us. We climb mountains so that we can see the world.” - Pauline Nguyen
Pauline Nguyen’s story begins with survival, but this conversation is ultimately about something much bigger: what happens when we stop allowing survival to run our lives.
Pauline escaped Vietnam with her family as part of the first wave of boat people after the war. Her father built the boat that carried them out of the country, and after nine days at sea, the family spent a difficult year in a refugee camp in Thailand. Growing up with a father deeply affected by war and trauma taught Pauline to read moods, anticipate danger and live in a constant state of hypervigilance. Those survival skills created enormous capacity, but they also came at a cost.
In this deeply personal conversation, Patrick and Pauline explore the journey from survival to self-mastery and why success in the outer world does not necessarily mean we have mastered our inner world.
Pauline shares how unresolved trauma can become embedded in our behaviour, relationships and leadership, and why emotional regulation is not simply a wellness practice. For entrepreneurs and leaders, it can directly influence decision-making, negotiations, team culture and performance.
They explore the importance of nervous-system regulation, intentional breathing, different forms of rest, building capacity by doing difficult things, and learning when to put the weight down. Pauline also explains why she believes great leadership must move beyond mindset to encompass the body, heart, health and spirit.
After 25 years building Red Lantern into an extraordinarily successful Vietnamese restaurant, Pauline has learned that leadership is not only about what we accomplish. It is about the state from which we lead.
This is a powerful conversation about breaking cycles, building capacity, finding purpose, practising emotional mastery and creating success that does not require sacrificing yourself to achieve it.

MindShui Way – Episode #256 - Why Smart People Get Stuck: The Hidden Side of Self-Awareness
2026/09/24
What if being smart is actually one of the reasons you stay stuck?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen Francey explore self-awareness beyond the usual clichés. Intelligence, education and success can make us assume we understand ourselves, but sometimes being smart simply makes us better at explaining and justifying our behaviour. A convincing explanation is not necessarily an honest examination.
Patrick shares a powerful experience from an executive coaching exercise where members of his team were asked to identify his “kryptonite.” The consistent feedback was that he could become defensive when receiving information, interpreting it as criticism. What made the exercise valuable was not discovering a flaw, but becoming aware of a pattern he could then recognize and change.
Steffany brings the conversation into high-performance sport, describing how athletes can become trapped in their own stories and intellectualize their performance instead of experiencing it. She also shares a striking story about an athlete who became so accustomed to the scent of Steffany’s perfume at competitions that changing it disrupted a familiar performance anchor.
The conversation moves through relationships, habits, productivity, comparison, envy and the ways we unknowingly repeat patterns. Patrick and Steffany discuss how self-awareness can help us recognize what triggers defensiveness, what we are avoiding when we stay busy, and what we expect other people to provide for us.
Most importantly, self-awareness isn’t just about finding what’s wrong. It is also about discovering what allows you to operate at your best.
Whether it is sleep, environment, relationships, routines, emotional triggers or the stories you tell yourself, greater awareness creates the opportunity to make different choices.
If there is an area of your life where you continually feel stuck, the most useful question may not be, “Why does this keep happening to me?” but rather, “What part am I playing in the pattern?”
MindShui Way – Episode #255 - The Hidden Cost of Indecision: What Is Not Deciding Costing You?
2026/09/17
What if one of the worst decisions you ever make is the one you never make?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen Francey explore the hidden cost of indecision and why avoiding a choice is often a decision in itself. We spend enormous amounts of energy worrying about making the wrong move, but rarely calculate what waiting might cost us in lost opportunities, stalled relationships, missed growth and time we can never recover.
Patrick introduces a practical framework for looking at decisions, from everyday choices to major business, financial and life decisions. Rather than focusing only on the potential upside, he suggests asking a more useful question: Can I live with the downside if this doesn't work out? By understanding the potential consequences, we can manage risk without pretending we can eliminate uncertainty.
Steffany brings another dimension to the conversation, exploring the role of emotion, intuition, values and self-trust. Sometimes we aren't afraid of the decision itself. We're afraid of the outcome, how others may respond, or what making the decision will require from us next. They also examine whose voice may actually be influencing our choices, from parents and partners to peers and the fear of judgment.
The conversation tackles analysis paralysis, decision fatigue and the endless search for more information. Patrick and Steffany discuss how systems can reduce unnecessary decision-making and preserve our mental energy for the choices that genuinely matter.
Ultimately, making a decision creates direction. It produces feedback, and feedback gives us the opportunity to adjust, rechoose and move forward.
Patrick closes with perhaps the most revealing question of all: What if you're avoiding a decision because once you make it, you no longer have an excuse not to act?
Sometimes clarity isn't about discovering what you should do. It's about recognizing what has been keeping you from doing what you already know.
Episode #254 – Matthew Le Merle – From AI to Bitcoin: Matthew Le Merle on Investing in an Exponential Future
2026/09/15
What happens when money, ownership, technology and even work itself move onto entirely new digital rails?
In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire, Patrick Francey sits down with Matthew Le Merle, Managing Partner and CEO of Fifth Era and Blockchain Coinvestors, for a wide-ranging conversation about blockchain, artificial intelligence, digital finance and what Matthew describes as the emerging autonomous digital economy.
Matthew begins by stripping away much of the complexity surrounding blockchain. Just as the internet transformed the movement of information and communication, blockchain provides infrastructure that allows value to move digitally. Money, commodities and assets can increasingly be transferred, stored and transacted in ways that are faster, less expensive and available around the clock.
But the conversation goes well beyond technology.
Patrick and Matthew explore what rapid innovation means for investors, entrepreneurs and small business owners trying to make decisions in an environment that can feel increasingly uncertain. Matthew argues that resisting change may ultimately be more dangerous than engaging with it. The goal is not necessarily to become an early adopter of every new technology, but to understand where the world may be heading and identify where innovation can solve real problems.
They also tackle some of the more uncomfortable questions surrounding digitalization, including privacy, government control, trust, fear and the potential unintended consequences of technology. Matthew offers a framework for thinking about innovation through fear versus optimism and explains why maintaining a positive outlook does not require ignoring legitimate risks.
Finally, Patrick and Matthew turn to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. Matthew distinguishes speculative crypto assets from projects building real technology and explains why he believes Bitcoin still has work to do if it is ultimately going to fulfil its original promise as a practical form of digital money.
It is a thoughtful conversation about preparing for change without blindly trusting it, and understanding the opportunities emerging as technology, finance and artificial intelligence increasingly converge.

MindShui Way – Episode #254 - From People Pleasing to Purpose: Rethinking Who You Are
2026/09/10
What if your identity is not something fixed, but something you are continually building?
In Episode 254 of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen-Francey explore identity as a “living architecture” shaped by our experiences, environment, habits, values, relationships and the feedback we receive from others. Rather than accepting “that’s just who I am,” they challenge listeners to consider whether the identity they are carrying still supports the person they want to become.
Steffany introduces three interconnected identity stances: opinion-based, performative and purposeful. Opinion-based identity develops largely through external feedback and other people’s perceptions. While this feedback can help us understand ourselves, becoming dependent on approval can lead to people pleasing and keep us trapped in an outdated version of ourselves.
Performative identity emerges when we consciously begin trying on new ways of showing up. Whether becoming a better leader, athlete, speaker, partner or businessperson, growth often requires developing new habits and behaviours before they feel natural. Performance does not necessarily mean being inauthentic. It can be the bridge between who we have been and who we are becoming.
Purposeful identity is grounded more deeply in values, meaning and conscious choice. Instead of constantly asking how others see us, we become clearer about what matters, what we stand for and how we want to live.
Patrick and Steffany discuss how these identities overlap and change throughout life, from business and sport to relationships and community. Ultimately, the question is not simply “Who am I?” but “Who am I becoming, and is that person aligned with the life I actually want?”
Identity is not a destination. It is something we are building every day.
MindShui Way – Episode #253 -Are You Outsourcing Your Identity? The Hidden Cost of AI and Algorithms
2026/09/03
Technology is making us faster, more productive and more connected, but could it also be quietly disconnecting us from ourselves?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen-Francey explore a question that goes well beyond whether AI is good or bad: Are we unintentionally outsourcing our identity to technology?
From AI-generated writing and algorithm-driven social feeds to the endless pull of scrolling, Patrick and Steffany examine how easily outside influences can begin shaping what we think, what we value and even how we present ourselves to the world. Patrick shares his own experience using AI extensively for research and productivity while deliberately protecting his authentic voice. He also discusses how algorithms reinforce confirmation bias, often requiring conscious effort to seek perspectives outside what technology assumes we want to see.
Steffany brings the conversation back to awareness and intentionality. She shares a revealing experience of losing three hours to mindless scrolling, unable afterward to remember much of what she had consumed. Her practice of “sun before screens,” along with intentionally returning to physical books and real-world spaces, highlights the importance of creating distance from the constant digital feed.
Together, they consider what this means for personal development, creativity, business and younger generations growing up without ever knowing a world before AI and social media. When technology can make almost anyone sound knowledgeable, polished or creative, authentic experience and individual perspective may become more valuable, not less.
The challenge is not to reject technology. It is to use it consciously without allowing it to define us.
Patrick and Steffany leave listeners with a deceptively simple question: Is this truly who I am, or am I being directed?
Episode #253 - Mike Phillips - Leadership Starts With You, But It’s Never About You, with Mike Phillips
2026/09/01
“It’s not what I said, but what you heard. The power of communication is in the person receiving the communication.” – Mike Phillips
Leadership may start with you, but according to leadership educator, keynote speaker and coach Mike Phillips, it should never be about you.
In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire, Patrick Francey sits down with Mike for a wide-ranging conversation about what separates true leadership from simply holding a leadership title. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in leadership, coaching, automotive sales and marketing, Mike shares why the best leaders remain committed learners and why earning the trust of the people around you matters more than the title on your business card.
Mike and Patrick explore the essential qualities of effective leadership, including vision, grit, character, accountability and, perhaps most importantly, communication. Mike explains why communication is ultimately measured not by what a leader says, but by what the other person actually hears. From unexpressed expectations to assumptions and unclear instructions, they examine how seemingly small communication gaps can create unnecessary friction within teams.
The conversation also turns deeply personal as Mike discusses his Christian faith and the role it plays in his approach to leadership, service and relationships. He shares his belief that genuine leadership requires caring about people beyond the results they produce.
Mike then recounts the extraordinary experience that profoundly changed his perspective on life. After becoming critically ill with COVID-19 in 2021, developing pneumonia and ultimately suffering the collapse of both lungs, Mike says he died before being revived. He spent approximately 40 days in hospital and emerged with a dramatically different understanding of purpose, family, faith and contribution.
His experience provides a powerful reminder that achievement means little if it comes at the expense of health, relationships and the people who matter most.
This conversation explores leadership beyond titles and tactics. It is about learning to lead yourself, communicate with clarity, serve others, face adversity with grit and recognize that sometimes the smallest next step can represent an enormous victory.

MindShui Way – Episode #252 - AI Can Think for You, But Should It?
2026/08/27
Technology is changing how we work, communicate, create, and consume information, but is it also quietly changing how we understand ourselves?
In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen-Francey explore a growing tension in our increasingly connected world: the risk of outsourcing our identity to technology. From artificial intelligence and social media algorithms to endless scrolling and the constant search for external validation, they examine what can happen when we begin checking outside ourselves before checking within.
Patrick shares his own experience using AI extensively for research and productivity while deliberately protecting his personal voice. AI can make us faster and more capable, but when we allow it to do our thinking, writing, and expressing for us, we risk becoming increasingly indistinguishable from everyone else using the same tools.
Steffany brings another dimension to the conversation, reflecting on social media, influencers, athletes, younger generations, and her own experience of unexpectedly losing three hours to mindless scrolling. The issue is not simply how much technology we use, but whether we remain conscious of how it is influencing our thoughts, behaviours, values, and sense of self.
Together, Patrick and Steffany make an important distinction: technology is neither inherently good nor bad. AI, algorithms, and social platforms can be incredibly powerful tools. The challenge is ensuring that we are using those tools rather than unconsciously allowing those tools to use us.
As technology becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, self-awareness may become more important than ever. The question isn't whether AI is going away. It isn't.
The question is whether you can embrace what technology makes possible while remaining connected to your own experience, values, intuition, creativity, and voice.
Before you ask an algorithm what matters, perhaps the better question is: What do I actually think?
MindShui Way – Episode #251 - How World Champions Think: The Identity Gap That Changes Everything
2026/08/20
Feeling stuck rarely means you're incapable of moving forward. More often, it means you're holding tightly to an identity that has already taken you as far as it can. In this episode of The MindShui Way, Patrick Francey and Steffany Hanlen-Francey explore what they call the Identity Gap: the uncomfortable space between who you've been and who you need to become in order to achieve your next level of growth.
Using the image of a trapeze artist releasing one bar before catching the next, they explain that transformation always involves uncertainty. Whether you're pursuing athletic excellence, business success, financial freedom, or personal growth, there comes a point where old habits, beliefs, and behaviours must be left behind before new ones can take hold.
Steffany shares lessons from coaching Olympic and World Champions, emphasizing that aspiring champions don't yet know what it takes to become champions. True progress begins when people stop trying to coach themselves with theories and instead become willing to learn from those who have already walked the path. Patrick extends this idea into entrepreneurship, reflecting on conversations with highly successful business owners and billionaires who think, decide, and operate at an entirely different level.
Together they discuss the importance of intentionally placing yourself in environments that stretch your thinking, even when you feel you don't belong. Whether it's training alongside elite athletes, entering rooms filled with exceptional business leaders, or simply having the courage to pursue an ambitious goal, discomfort becomes the gateway to growth rather than something to avoid.
The episode closes with a powerful reminder that the person who created your current results may not be the person capable of creating your future. Growth requires releasing certainty, embracing discomfort, and stepping confidently into the identity of the person you're becoming.
Episode #252 – Tom Cowan – Vaccines, Viruses and Questioning Medical Assumptions with Tom Cowan
2026/08/18
"Once you understand that you have agency in your life, then you ask the question: How should I live?" - Tom Cowan
Disclaimer: This episode is intended to encourage thoughtful conversation and the exploration of different perspectives. Dr. Tom Cowan shares views on health, medicine, vaccines and disease that differ significantly from established medical and scientific consensus. The views expressed by the guest are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of The Everyday Millionaire, its host or its producers. This conversation is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. Listeners are encouraged to do their own research and consult qualified healthcare professionals when making decisions about their health.
What if some of the things we accept as scientific fact deserve a second look?
In this provocative episode of The Everyday Millionaire, Patrick Francey sits down with Dr. Tom Cowan, former medical practitioner, author, speaker and founder of the New Biology Clinic, for a conversation that challenges many conventional assumptions about medicine, disease and human health.
Cowan traces his journey from conventional medical training to a radically different approach built around observation, personal experience and questioning established medical models. He argues that rather than beginning with a diagnosis or accepted theory, practitioners should begin with the individual: What changed? What happened before symptoms appeared? What is happening in the person's environment, diet, relationships and life?
The conversation ventures into highly controversial territory as Cowan challenges mainstream scientific understandings of viruses, vaccines, bacteria, autoimmune disease and even the causes of heart attacks and cancer. Patrick pushes Cowan to explain how he reached these conclusions, why they differ so dramatically from conventional medicine, and what listeners should do when highly credentialed people offer completely opposing explanations.
Cowan also discusses his decision to voluntarily surrender his medical licence, the creation of the New Biology Clinic and his work mentoring practitioners interested in his approach.
But beneath the medical debate lies a broader theme that applies far beyond health: How do we know what we think we know?
Cowan encourages listeners to become comfortable saying "I don't know," investigate claims rather than immediately replacing one explanation with another, and pay closer attention to their own observations and experiences.
Whether you agree with Cowan's conclusions or strongly disagree, this episode invites you to examine assumptions, question inherited beliefs and consider the role personal agency plays in how you approach your health and your life.
