What if the stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion you’re feeling isn’t just life — but an invisible fee you’ve been paying for years? In this raw and revealing motivational episode, Reginald D dives deep into the hidden emotional, spiritual, and mental tariffs that silently drain our joy, faith, and purpose. From trauma-induced beliefs to generational pain and toxic relationship cycles, Reginald D unpacks how we’ve been taxed by fear, doubt, shame, rejection — and how to cancel those spiritual fees once and for all.

If you’ve been overthinking, over giving, or overworking to feel “enough,” you’ll discover how to stop financing your past and finally live free. 3 Key Benefits You’ll Walk Away With: A renewed understanding of your identity in Christ and how to stop letting pain define you Practical insights to identify and cancel emotional and spiritual fees you never agreed to Encouragement to set boundaries, rewrite your internal beliefs, and step boldly into your purpose Press play now and cancel the emotional fees you’ve been paying too long — freedom is your new currency.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We don’t have a clearly defined mission beyond 2024 because it’s important for the team to feel they have reached the goal set and won the game
I see myself reducing my player role and doing more of the CEO role moving forward
It's only when you are open that you can build a culture of trust
When you don’t share vulnerabilities you are putting up a barrier
Someone who has experienced a business not going well is better equipped, you know what works and can apply what you’ve learnt previously
There are valuable lessons in any experience
We are all very aware of the team dynamic and how we operate so that we don’t get any demotivating factors
When I have an amazing win I’m all about the next thing

BEST MOMENTS

‘It felt like the comeback was complete when I introduced Gary Vaynerchuk on stage at the first Expert Empires event in 2017’

‘For me, a year is a long time, I’m naturally a short-term thinker’

‘Being vulnerable and open and sharing with the people closest to me is my greatest asset’

‘It’s a blessing to be around someone who is so driven’

ABOUT THE HOST

Nick James
Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.
Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.
He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!
Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.
He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.
Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.
Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to seven figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.

Nick is BACK with another podcast featuring the founder of Hull and Sons Garey Hull. Talking all about how Garey's bespoke hat-making business was built, what creativity means to him, the importance of structure and the environment being considered for creative success. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The environment should always be considered for creative success. You can get excited about the client potential for a product and see how much they can benefit from it way more than they can. You need space to be creative, so in order to be creative you need to include that space in your structure for your business. BEST MOMENTS: 'You can see the client potential and result for them way more than them' 'It's not always about being a perfectionist and aspiring to be others, you become more creative by being more original' 'Good is good enough, meaning that you should always start somewhere' Click the link to find out about Underground Empire Builders: https://www.expertempires.com/underground-pl…

KEY TAKEAWAYS Treat preparing for speaking at large events like building a muscle, it takes time and consistency and will always pay off. Nick's biggest challenge he faces when hosting Expert Empires is his perfectionist personality, as he wants everything about it to be a world-class experience. The best speakers are the ones who are great storytellers, and the ones who can make you feel multiple emotions in one presentation. Tangible results are down to weather people execute and how well they perform at events as well as how much value they deliver BEST MOMENTS 'The best speakers are the ones who are great storytellers' 'When I create an Expert Empires lineup, I want to put together a menu of options that everyone will think is world-class' VALUABLE RESOURCES Click the link to find out about Underground Empire Builders: https://www.expertempires.com/underground-pl https://www.expertempires.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en Empire Builders Podcast https://keapnow.com/empirebuilders ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

In this episode, Nick is joined by his nutritionist Callum Walker, who shares the secrets of dieting to improve sport and individual performance, different perspectives on nutrition and recommendations for improving energy levels and physical performance. Callum's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cw_nutrition/ KEY TAKEAWAYS You don't have to eat low calorie foods to be in a calorie deficit. Just because some foods are low fat, doesn't mean they're healthy or beneficial. Breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day. If you skip a meal, your body's interpretation is different to your own (the body doesn't go into starvation mode) High fat meals would be more beneficial than high carbohydrate or protein meals. Accountability comes in two parts, for your coach and for yourself. Running outside without headphones can bring a sense of mindfulness as oppose to a struggle when running with music. Serotonin is a hormone which encourages positivity and is present when the body is exposed to light. Coaches are worth investing in if you are looking for long term success in your personal life and business. Sleep trackers are not 100% accurate and can deliver unreliable results. BEST MOMENTS 'My motive is to sleep well and eat well so that I can perform well' 'You don't have to eat low calorie foods to be in a calorie deficit' 'If you really want lasting long-term success, invest in a coach and someone who really knows what they are talking about' VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.expertempires.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en Empire Builders Podcast https://keapnow.com/empirebuilders…

In this Q and A Nick looks forward to the future discussing both business and personal possibilities He discusses his previous business partnership and the positive outcomes and lessons learnt from being a part of it and also candidly answers the question of what drains him the most and how he recovers and finds the solutions to move forward KEY TAKEAWAYS I don’t see Expert Empires going beyond 1,000 attendees because I don’t want to lose the intimacy of the event My kids attend the Expert Empires events and experience what I do and are exposed to all the speakers You have to be an example and provide opportunities as a parent without the push It was very painful, for me, because I had created a link between my identity, self-worth and being the co-owner of the company The lessons I took away were about making smarter decisions based on more than just pursuing additional revenue Being the sole CEO of Expert Empires means I’m empowered to take more responsibility The more specialised and niche the coaching and mentoring the more you can get from it If something isn’t the way I want, I ask myself how have I created this? which stimulates me to come up with a solution BEST MOMENTS ‘My kids have been surrounded by the personal development world from a very young age’ I’ve built the team here based on the best bits of the previous business which had a great culture’ ‘My happiness and self-worth are now independent of the business’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.expertempires.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en Empire Builders Podcast https://keapnow.com/empirebuilders ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

Nick talks with his own coach, Jeff Mask about the culture and environment that builds unified and high-performing businesses because, as they explain, if you have people or teams that are underperforming then this is the reason why Vulnerability-based trust and psychological safety are what make the difference and Jeff explains why when you create, cultivate and build psychological safety and vulnerability-based trust you can build life-changing powerful positive momentum KEY TAKEAWAYS The ability to create, innovate and problem-solve is about vulnerability and trust There is a way to address conflict that illuminates the problem and allows for it to be solved in a healthy way Fear of conflict leads to a lack of commitment, ‘way in enables more buy-in’ Vulnerability, consistency and transparency together build sustained trust There is more trust when we have the humility to ask for help A high level of empathy is critical for others to see they are valued person to person Psychological safety creates the best environment for performance Being able to admit to mistakes publicly is crucial Share key data to give context and connect everyone to the ‘why’ Everyone needs to know why their role exists and what’s expected of them True integrity, when you do what you say you will do, builds powerful trust BEST MOMENTS ‘The number one contributor to high-performing teams is psychological safety’ ‘In business, it’s all about sustained trust’ ‘A unified team is an unstoppable team’ ‘Competency combined with trust is where the magic happens’ Nick@expert empire Instagram RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en https://expertempires.com/mask-principles VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.expertempires.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en Empire Builders Podcast https://keapnow.com/empirebuilders ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

Nick looks at the critical importance of your environment and shares the three critical elements that you need to keep focused, motivated and inspired whether it's in your business or personal life Very few people talk about the importance of environment but as Nick explains The environment where you spend the majority of your time is one of the most significant factors in you achieving what you want to in life and business KEY TAKEAWAYS The contrast between those who are playing the bigger game and those who are a few steps behind can bring confidence along with inspiration When you’ve grown together the opportunity for collaboration and partnerships and joint ventures is far greater The most important aspect for creating an empowering environment is the people you spend time with As the business leader, you are both the greatest asset and potentially the biggest liability so showing up energetically is crucial The objects and visuals you have around you can anchor you and inspire you Surrounding yourself with the right things can feed your mind and help you focus in the right way BEST MOMENTS ‘A mastermind group, formally or informally is an opportunity to grow together’ ‘The places you frequent and where you spend your time influence how you feel’ ‘Surround yourself with the things that keep you motivated, focused and inspired’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.expertempires.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nickjamesevents/?hl=en Empire Builders Podcast https://keapnow.com/empirebuilders ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.
