Expansive CEO

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys hit a nerve fast—especially when the language feels intense or “unflattering.” This month on the Expansive CEO Podcast, Hannah and Lauren are unpacking what's crunchy: the parts of your design that can trigger resistance, shame, or “Wait… why me?!” In this episode, they pick up where last week left off and dive into one of the crunchiest profiles of all: the 3/5 (Martyr/Heretic). Together they reframe the meaning behind those loaded words, explain why 3/5s often feel like they're always “putting out fires,” and share how 3-line trial-and-error becomes wisdom when it's guided by Strategy + Authority. Key Takeaways: January 2026 update: Investment Friday has officially split off Profiles 101: what the numbers actually mean Why 3/5 is “top-tier crunchy” The “theater on fire” metaphor (and why it lands) Lower trigram vs upper trigram tension The 5-line projection field: “You can fix my problem” Parenting/leading a 3/5: ask “What did you learn?” Gene Keys lens: 3rd-line Brand = humor A crunchy truth: 3-lines can “pay the price” materially Business application: why 3/5s can thrive in shorter containers Discover your design, join the newsletter, and explore coaching at: https://expansiveceo.com.

There's a lot of noise right now—and it can hijack investor decision-making. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM zoom out to separate signal from headlines, discuss early-year market context, and share what they're watching for 2026. You'll hear why recency bias leads people to panic-sell, why earnings and innovation may matter more than day-to-day politics over a 5-year horizon, and why rebalancing at the start of the year can support both portfolio discipline and tax planning. Then, they break down a major story involving Jerome Powell and discuss why Federal Reserve independence is a cornerstone of long-term economic stability. What's covered: “Noise vs. signal” and how to stay grounded as an investor Earnings trends: broadening beyond mega-cap tech The AI buildout: data centers, compute capacity, and the next wave of applications Why rebalancing early in the year can be strategically helpful Emerging markets explained (developed vs emerging vs frontier) Why Fed independence matters and what happens when central banks aren't independent Inflation, wage catch-up, and why it can feel hard even when data improves Reminder: Follow Investment Friday and subscribe on YouTube—this show will live fully in its own feed/channel starting in February.

Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys feel… crunchy. You read the original transmission, the channel descriptions, the line language—and something in you goes: “Ew. I don't want that. I'm not that.” And if you're not careful, that reaction can quietly turn into self-rejection… which blocks the very transformation you're here for. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and co-host Lauren Ammon talk about why “softening” or rewriting the system to make it more palatable can actually keep people stuck. Together, they explore how to hold uncomfortable language with maturity, use the shadow as soil, and let your experiment reveal what the words truly mean—without moralizing or bypassing the human experience. Learn about: Why “making HD/GK feel nicer” can be misleading The cost of rejecting parts of your chart Shadow → Gift → Siddhi as a real transformation pathway Gate 59: dishonesty, intimacy, safety, and timing Tribal circuitry and “the bargain” dynamic Gate 26 and the word “manipulation” (and why it isn't always bad) Defined vs open Ego: commitment, promises, and sustainable action How supportive aura dynamics can help people follow through Teaser: the 3/5 profile and why it can feel painful at first Discover your design, join the newsletter, and explore coaching at: https://expansiveceo.com.

If you've ever felt like you're doing “everything right” in business but still swimming upstream—this episode marks a turning point. This is the first episode of 2026, and it's also the beginning of a new chapter for the Expansive CEO Podcast. One where we stop forcing strategies that don't fit, stop borrowing advice from people with completely different energy, and start building businesses that actually work with who we are. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® officially welcomes Lauren Ammon as co-host of the Expansive CEO Podcast. Together, they share why the show is shifting fully into Human Design and Gene Keys as the foundation for entrepreneurship—and what that means for how you lead, decide, build, partner, and grow. This conversation introduces the heart of what's coming next: real conversations about conditioning, self-trust, energetic alignment, and the not-so-pretty parts of growth that actually lead to sustainable success. Learn more about: Why Expansive CEO is narrowing its focus to Human Design and Gene Keys as tools for aligned entrepreneurship How separating Investment Friday creates cleaner energetic containers for money, markets, and business growth What it actually means to build a business “with the river” instead of swimming upstream Why understanding your conditioning is just as important as knowing your gifts How different Human Design profiles experience leadership, struggle, and success differently What listeners can expect going forward—including live chart readings, Q&A, and real-life application Why Human Design and Gene Keys are entry points, not silver bullets, in a much larger healing and growth journey Connect with us at ExpansiveCEO.com!

If you've ever felt successful on paper… but still disconnected from yourself — like you're “doing all the right things” while your heart is quietly asking for more — this episode is for you. Because the truth is: the level of intimacy you have with yourself shapes everything… your relationships, your leadership, your capacity to receive, and the way you show up in your business when things get hard. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® is joined by intimacy expert Allana Pratt, global media personality and author of six books, to explore what intimacy really means — not just with a partner, but with your own body, your nervous system, and your soul. Together, they talk about: Why intimacy with yourself (“into-me-I-see”) is the foundation for intimacy with others — and for aligned entrepreneurship How unprocessed wounds can drive business decisions (people-pleasing, proving, perfectionism, overworking, fear-based strategy) What it actually looks like to “come home” to yourself through the body, nervous system safety, and emotional truth Why you can't repair relational ruptures sustainably if you don't first complete the “loop” within yourself How plant medicine + somatic integration can accelerate healing when used intentionally to “check in,” not check out The shift from soulmate to “wholemate” relationships — two whole people creating something exponentially greater together Connect with Allana here: Website: https://allanapratt.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/allanapratt/ Patreon: www.patreon.com/allanapratt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachallanapratt Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/allanapratt Free Gift: www.allanapratt.com/top5mistakes Book a Call with Allana: www.allanapratt.com/connect Use discount code: READYNOW for $400 savings!

If you're a business owner who feels like you should understand your numbers but secretly hopes they'll just… work themselves out, you're not alone. For a lot of entrepreneurs, money feels heavy, confusing, or even shame-filled—and that disconnect can quietly limit growth, peace of mind, and long-term stability. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with author, strategist, and fractional CFO Josh Greenbaum, founder of CFO Minded and author of Numbers Scare Me and Other Excuses. Together, they unpack the real differences between a CFO, CFP, CPA, bookkeeper, and controller, why there is no single “right” financial strategy, and how human understanding—not perfection—creates sustainable businesses. This conversation is about clarity over complexity, confidence over fear, and building a financial team that actually supports the life you want to live. Why “numbers scare me” is rarely about math—and more often about shame, overwhelm, or lack of context How CFO thinking differs from tax prep and financial planning, and why you need all three roles working together What most business owners misunderstand about income, profit, and cash flow (and why $120k revenue ≠ $120k lifestyle) How human behavior and money psychology impact financial decisions, not just spreadsheets Why conflicting advice from financial professionals isn't a problem—it's a feature When AI and automation help—and where human judgment is still essential How asking better questions (not having perfect knowledge) unlocks better financial outcomes Connect with Josh here: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Numbers-Scare-Me-Other-Excuses/dp/0578829762 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshgreenbaum/ Website: https://www.cfominded.com/ Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

If you felt like 2025 had “way too many headlines” for markets to be up… you're not imagining it. Between rate cuts, policy whiplash, and nonstop AI hot takes, it would've been easy to assume this was the year something finally cracked. And yet—stocks held up, bonds showed up, and a lot of long-term investors were rewarded for staying steady. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies break down what actually drove returns, why AI still looks like a boom (not necessarily a bubble—yet), and what conditions could flip that script in 2026. Learn more: How interest rates could change the AI story in 2026 What the recent wave of layoffs actually reflects Why earnings and cash flow matter more than headlines What “Trump Accounts” are and who's eligible How time in the market and compounding returns do the heavy lifting in growing wealth What details are still unresolved Connect with Brad here: Website: https://www.juncturewealth.com Email: bhaines@juncturewealth.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

Visibility doesn't require louder marketing, better slides, or a perfectly memorized script. What actually moves people—on stage, on camera, or in a room—is embodiment. And most entrepreneurs were never taught how to access that, especially when nerves, pressure, or people-pleasing kick in. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with international keynote speaker and brand strategist Melanie Spring, known for her “approachable badass” energy and her work helping bold visionaries amplify their voices. Together, they explore: The difference between performing and embodying your message Why magnetism is as much about repelling as attracting How your nervous system affects your presence, and what it looks like to speak from integrity instead of approval Practical tools—including a simple essence-clarifying exercise—and Details about Melanie's upcoming Speak With Confidence cohort for leaders ready to be fully seen Connect with Melanie here: Website: https://melaniespring.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/melaniespring Threads: https://www.threads.com/@melaniespring LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/melaniespringspeaker Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

Interest rates are drifting lower, jobs data keeps getting revised, AI stocks are whipping around on every earnings call, and gold is suddenly back at all-time highs. If you've looked at the headlines lately and wondered, “Is the Fed behind the curve? Is AI already a bubble? Should I be buying gold… or is it too late?” — you're not alone. There's a lot of noise right now around the dollar, inflation, and what actually belongs in a long-term portfolio. In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies unpack: The Fed's latest quarter-point rate cut Which data points the Fed is watching ahead of their January meeting Oracle's massive new AI infrastructure spend and what it tells us about the stage of the AI cycle Why investor pushback on capital expenditures may actually be healthy Gold and silver: why these metals are hitting new highs How global confidence in U.S. institutions and the dollar plays into it Will there be a return to the gold standard?

Money, work, and wealth-building are changing faster than most people can process, and a lot of the old “rules” for career and business no longer apply. If you've felt the squeeze of a barbell economy, watched the online business space wobble, or wondered how AI, social platforms, and new financial tools are going to affect your long-term stability… you're not imagining it. We're in the middle of a major economic and energetic shift. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, sits down with financial futurist and Rich Future founder Kalei Correll, a former Big Four CPA and finance executive who helped scale a hyper-growth tech company through acquisition and IPO readiness. Why the “single income mindset” is becoming obsolete How AI is accelerating opportunity instead of eliminating it When diversification becomes a form of durability How Human Design shaped Kalei's career pivot Why the middle class is shrinking — and what individuals can do now How social trading, tokenized assets, and platforms like Robinhood are creating brand-new income pathways What entrepreneurs must know about 2027 and the new paradigm Kalei's special gift to Expansive CEO listeners - Use this link to get 1 month free subscription to the Rich Future substack! https://www.richfuturemedia.com/EXPANSIVECEO Kalei Correll is a former Big 4 CPA and finance executive who scaled global operations through hypergrowth and IPO readiness.

Crypto is having another volatile season — Bitcoin dropping 35%, narratives heating up online, and investors wondering whether they should “buy the dip” or stay far away. But beneath the hype, the memes, and the overnight-millionaire stories, there's a deeper conversation to be had about what cryptocurrency actually is, what blockchain technology does, and how to navigate a landscape where speculation can look like opportunity if you don't know what you're looking at. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies, break down crypto from first principles: Why the job market looks weaker than the headlines How ISM manufacturing data revealed a hidden slowdown The Fed may cut now, pause later — and 2026 may surprise everyone What crypto actually is (and is not) Why “limited supply” is a flawed argument Why crypto fails as a currency Where the real value is: blockchain technology How to think about crypto in a portfolio Connect with Brad here: Website: https://www.juncturewealth.com Email: bhaines@juncturewealth.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

So many brilliant entrepreneurs are maxed out, fully booked, and still feel like they're leaving impact (and income) on the table. You know your work changes lives, but there are only so many 1:1 calls you can take and only so many hours you can sell. Add AI into the mix — with everyone shouting that “everything is changing” — and it's easy to freeze, overthink, or never actually get your course out of your head and into the world. In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and course creation expert Jasmine Jonte break down what it really takes to turn your expertise into a scalable, transformational learning experience in the age of AI. If you've been sitting on a course idea — or wondering if AI is about to make you obsolete — this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and a deep exhale. Learn: Why “just teach what you know” is dangerous advice How instructional design and support structures create real results The right way to use AI as a tool (not a crutch) Why decoupling your time from your income is both a strategy and an identity shift How to provide the right level of support for your ideal client Connect with Jasmine here: Website: https://www.jasminejonte.com/ Instagram: http://instagram.com/jasminejonte/# LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasminejonte Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasminejonte/ Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

What if a 5% pullback in the market wasn't a warning sign…but just the cost of long-term growth? In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies unpack recent volatility, why it feels so uncomfortable in the moment, and how to navigate it without derailing your financial plan. How the recent ~5% market pullback fits into “normal” annual volatility that typically happens 4–6 times per year Why the market can hit all-time highs and still experience uncomfortable short-term drops without changing the long-term story What declining shelter inflation and a softening job market could mean for future interest rates and equity returns in 2026 How shelter inflation is actually measured (rents and imputed rents) What it looks like to build a personalized inflation assumption based on your real-life spending instead of headline CPI How year 3 of a financial plan often becomes the “peace point” Which simple lifestyle choices can meaningfully support your financial plan Connect with Brad here: Website: https://www.juncturewealth.com Email: bhaines@juncturewealth.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

What if scaling from six to seven (and even eight) figures wasn't about working harder…but about doing less with way more intention? In this episode, we unpack what actually changes as you grow — and what must stay the same — so you can build a business that doesn't chew you up on the way to your next revenue milestone. In this conversation, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® sits down with Austin Netzley — founder & CEO of 2X and Operations.com, emotional Projector, and author of From 6 to 7 Figures and The 2-Week Vacation Test. Austin shares how to turn your business into a machine that can run and thrive without you, the hidden “valleys of death” between each stage of growth, and the operational and leadership shifts required to go from hustler to true CEO with real freedom and optionality. What actually stays the same from six to seven to eight figures — and what must change in your time, focus, and leadership How to avoid “solving step-4 problems at step 1” and the costly mistake of overbuilding for a $10M business when you're at $1–2M Why most multi–six-figure founders should double down on one marketing channel instead of chasing 7–10 different ones How to think about fractional leadership (where it works brilliantly and where you really need someone full-time inside your culture) Why over-hiring leadership too early crushes profit and slows decisions — and what Austin learned from an 18-month marketing downturn How to think about revenue vs. profit, and why a $1M business with 50% margins can feel way better than a $5M business with none What Austin is seeing in 8–9 figure companies behind the scenes — and why it's “way simpler than you think” when operations are excellent Connect with Austin here: Website: https://www.austinnetzley.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scale2x/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/netzley/ YouTube: https://2x.co/youtube LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/austingnetzley Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

Life doesn't stop being hard just because you decide to grow. There are seasons that take you out at the knees, sucker-punch your heart, and leave you wondering how you're supposed to carry on being a parent, a partner, a leader, or a business owner. In this conversation, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Joy Alchemist & author Jan Hoath explore what it really means to choose joy anyway — not as a bypass, but as a way of honoring the full spectrum of your humanity: the grief, the mess, the doubt, the “super sucky” circumstances, and the quiet, ordinary magic of being alive. Learn about: Jan's acronym JOY: “Just Own You” The “deep end of joy” swimming pool metaphor Why your capacity to be with your own pain directly expands your capacity for real joy How presence, permission, and celebration change what's possible in your life How to find joy in the middle of real life — not after everything is fixed Connect with Jan here: Jan's Book: JoyAnywayBook.com Book a Call: CallWithJoy.com Website: JanHoath.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

This week's Investment Friday brings clarity to one of the most confusing economic moments we've had all year. From delayed metrics to understanding what really happens inside the economy during a 45-day government shutdown, this episode breaks down the forces shaping market volatility—and what you actually need to pay attention to as an investor. In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies explore how delayed economic data, shifting interest rate expectations, and rising consumer stress all feed into today's market environment. Learn about: How the government shutdown affects data Why rate-cut expectations dropped from 95% to 50% How a 45-day shutdown impacts GDP Why the market remains strong despite volatility How MAG-8 concentration affects investor risk Why AI is still in the early part of the innovation cycle Connect with Brad here: Website: https://www.juncturewealth.com Email: bhaines@juncturewealth.com Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Hannah's Website: https://hannahrchapman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannah.chapman.cfp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hannahchapmanfinancialadvisor/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahrchapman/

What if grief isn't just the devastating losses—but the everyday interruptions that ask us to soften, feel, and be witnessed? When we practice holding grief in the small moments, we're more ready for the big ones. And when we let others in to see us, receiving support becomes radical self-love. In this conversation, Hannah and guest Krista Powers reframe grief through Krista's Five Powers of Grief—Interruption, Flow of Feelings, Holding, Breaking, and Remembering. Krista shares her 17-month breast cancer journey, the real $60k financial reality, and how choosing to be witnessed expanded her capacity for joy, leadership, and entrepreneurship. You'll hear: Why grief requires a witness (and how inviting support is radical self-love) The difference between breaking from external pressure vs inner growth How entrepreneurs can metabolize “no's” without shrinking their vision Money truths: the practical costs of illness, asking for help, and receiving with humility Moving from self-protection to interdependence—and why that expands joy Connect with Krista here: Krista's Book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/imvR18I Or from the publisher: https://share.google/RylaVr62fjZHUilIB Website: https://kristapowers.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristapowers Connect with Hannah here: X² Wealth Planning Website: https://x2wealthplanning.com/ Expansive CEO: https://expansiveceo.com/ Email: hannah@expansiveceo.com

The markets are wobbling again—stocks pulling back, layoffs stacking up, and the Fed hinting at possible rate cuts. But underneath the noise, something powerful is shifting: inflation is easing, shelter inflation is dropping, and investors are asking how to stay grounded when the data feels uncertain. In this Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® breaks down the market's recent pullback, job loss trends, and shelter inflation updates—and shares how to protect your peace (and your portfolio) through smart cash reserves, long-term thinking, and a heart for giving back when the world feels shaky. Learn more: Why the markets dipped 2% after a 20% rally since April—and what that tells us about investor psychology How job losses topping 1.1 million this year are signaling early cracks beneath a still-low 4% unemployment rate Why “shelter inflation” dropping nearly 10% matters for both renters and the broader inflation trend What makes AI stocks different from the dot-com bubble—and why NVIDIA's high valuation may still pose risk How many basis points the Fed could cut in interest as it responds to slowing growth and rising unemployment How business owners can use cash reserves strategically to make calm, conscious decisions instead of reactive ones Why generosity and stability go hand in hand—how maintaining your foundation allows you to give back and uplift your community.

You don't have a motivation problem—you have an alignment problem. If the version of you at work isn't the same one at home, in the gym, and with your friends, you'll keep grinding harder without feeling better. Today's guest shows how to collapse that gap—so progress actually feels like power. In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, talks with Marine Corps veteran, performance coach, and keynote speaker Mycal (“Coach Derz”) Anders—founder of Next Level Performance Consulting—whose motto is “Alignment first, progress always.” Mycal shares how to unify your identities so you lead at work, love at home, and thrive in your body. We cover detaching from life-or-death urgency, upgrading relationship agreements, filling the post-breakthrough “void” with the next easiest step, and why alignment—not motivation—is the real unlock.
