Social Proof Podcast

January 1st doesn’t change anything until you change something.Every year people say “New year, new me”, set big goals, feel motivated… and then fall right back into the same patterns. This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s not laziness. It’s psychology.In this video, we break down:Why motivation fades in 24–48 hoursThe science behind why goals feel good before you do the workWhy most resolutions die before January 3rdHow identity, habits, and environment actually create changeWhy the calendar flipping doesn’t mean your patterns changedThis isn’t hype.This is about understanding how your brain works, why you sabotage progress, and what actually leads to consistency in your life, business, health, and habits.You don’t need a fresh start.You need a new identity.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/socialproof* Check out NordProtect: https://nordprotect.com/socialproof* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Most men are taught how to be strong, disciplined, and productive.Very few are taught how to feel.In this conversation, we unpack what really happens when men suppress their emotions, why so many high-performing men feel numb, and whether “not feeling” is actually strength or just survival.If you’re a man striving for success and wondering why things still feel off, this might sound uncomfortably familiar.If you love, work with, or are trying to understand a driven man, this conversation will help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface.This episode isn’t about being soft.It’s about capacity, leadership, and the cost of emotional suppression.📩 Business inquiries: billing@realsocialproof.com🔥 Subscribe for more episodes.👥 Join The Social Proof Community:🚀 The Morning Meetup: http://themorningmeetup.com🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more real conversations Follow David on IG https://www.instagram.com/dshands/👇 Comment your biggest takeaway📤 Share this with someone who’s going through a storm📌 Subscribe for more real, unfiltered conversationsOur Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/socialproof* Check out NordProtect: https://nordprotect.com/socialproof* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We need to have an honest conversation: Christmas has quietly become the biggest financial trap of the entire year.Not the meaning… not the faith… but the retail version of Christmas that pressures millions of families to overspend, overextend, and go into debt every December.In this video, I break down why we should seriously consider canceling Christmas — financially — and reclaiming the season from the marketers, retailers, and corporations that hijacked it.Here’s what we cover:👉 Why the average American spends $1,000+ on Christmas before travel, food, or alcohol👉 How nearly half the country EXPECTS to go into debt just to participate👉 The real history behind Christmas gift-giving (hint: it wasn’t always a shopping event)👉 How the retail industry turned a simple tradition into a billion-dollar sales machine👉 Why emotional pressure is the #1 reason people stay broke in December👉 How holiday debt destroys your finances for months after the tree comes down👉 And how you can celebrate without sacrificing your financial futureMost people don’t realize that Christmas, as we know it, was engineered — intentionally — by advertisers and department stores in the 1800s and 1900s. The modern Santa, the shopping frenzy, the wish lists, the guilt-driven spending… none of this has anything to do with the original meaning.This video isn’t about canceling family, joy, or tradition.It’s about canceling debt, pressure, and financial guilt.It’s about choosing peace over payments.It’s about stepping into the new year without dragging December’s mistakes behind you.🔥 If Christmas is keeping you broke, it’s time to rethink the tradition.Watch the full breakdown and let’s talk about it in the comments.#ChristmasSpending #HolidayDebt #FinancialTrap #CancelChristmas #MoneyTruth #WealthBuilding #HolidayOverspending #FinancialFreedom #DavidShandsOur Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/socialproof* Check out NordProtect: https://nordprotect.com/socialproof* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this powerful Social Proof episode, host David Shands sits down with Kim Lewis, founder and CEO of CurlMix, the Black-owned natural hair care brand that nearly went bankrupt after raising over $10 million and generating $40 million in lifetime sales.Kim opens up about how she reached a breaking point — with –$18,000 in her account, investors backing away, and a community of loyal customers who’d been with her since Shark Tank. Instead of hiding, she made the bold choice to go public, launching the #ProtectCurlMix campaign: a plea for 20,000 orders by December 31st to keep her factory open and her Chicago team employed.Throughout the conversation, Kim and David unpack what it means to lead transparently under pressure: • Why venture-backed startups can grow fast but still be unprofitable. • The tension between doing good for the community and surviving as a business. • The mental toll of leadership, failure, and staying authentic when everything’s on the line. • How CurlMix customers literally own 50% of the company, and why Kim believes community equity is the future of entrepreneurship.By the end, the story shifts from fear to hope — showing how honesty, community, and accountability can become a company’s greatest lifeline.Subscribe to the Social Proof Podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QM1w9I...👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.comGrab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 http://www.podcastebook.comDavid on IG :   / dshands  Follow Curlmix   / curlmix  Follow Kim!   / kimlewisceo  Website https://curlmix.com/👥 Join The Social Proof Community:🚀 The Morning Meetup: http://themorningmeetup.com🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more real conversationsOur Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/socialproof* Check out NordProtect: https://nordprotect.com/socialproof* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
