Hacked + Hijacked: When Meta + Stripe Fail Wellness Creators

We explore two alarming stories that highlight the growing security threats facing wellness creators and online entrepreneurs. First, we uncover the shadowy world of Meta brokers - underground operators who exploit Facebook's internal systems to restore hacked accounts for thousands of dollars, while Meta's official support channels remain largely unresponsive. We discuss how these black market brokers work with inside sources at Facebook and why the company seems more focused on pursuing legal action against brokers than fixing their broken customer service.Next, we examine a disturbing trend targeting influencers and content creators through sophisticated phishing schemes disguised as brand partnership opportunities. We share real stories of creators who lost their social media accounts and payment processors after clicking malicious links, including one devastating case where a hacker gained access to someone's Stripe account and charged tens of thousands of dollars to their clients.Throughout the episode, we discuss practical security measures every wellness creator should implement, including moving beyond SMS-based two-factor authentication to app-based solutions like Authy, the importance of frequently changing passwords, and adopting a more suspicious mindset toward unsolicited emails and partnership offers. We also touch on how AI is making these security threats more sophisticated and why the golden age of trusting cold outreach may be over.This episode serves as both a wake-up call and a practical guide for protecting your wellness business in an increasingly dangerous digital landscape.Listen to the full Globe and Mail Article here: "The Black Market for Getting Hacked Meta Accounts Back."

Breaking Through Your Limiting Money Mindset

In this episode we explore four critical mindset shifts for wellness entrepreneurs: breaking through self-imposed "upper limits" that create false ceilings on success, balancing visionary thinking with consistent action, moving beyond victim mentality to take ownership of business outcomes, and setting realistic timeframes that acknowledge slow initial growth while maintaining ambitious long-term goals. We talk about how childhood money beliefs shape adult limitations and emphasize that extraordinary results require moving beyond "ordinary goals." They draw from both personal experience and business wisdom, including Bill Gates' observation that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year but underestimate what they can achieve in ten years.References:Marvelous Software PlatformWell Well Well MarketplaceGay Hendricks: The Big Leap References:Marvelous Software PlatformWell Well Well Marketplace
