Barefoot with Spirit: Succeeding in Career and Business (Ep103)

What happens when professional achievement outpaces personal well-being? Dr. Preston Cherry, founder of Concurrent Financial Planning, seemed to have it all—a thriving career and a secure six-figure salary in his late 20s. But beneath the surface, he was stuck in a seven-year fog, struggling to align his personal life with his financial success.

In this episode, Diana Britton, executive editor at WealthManagement.com, sits down with Dr. Cherry as he opens up about his challenges—bankruptcy, self-medicating behaviors and racial microaggressions—all while searching for balance, healing and true fulfillment.

He discusses: 
 
- The realization of his “seven years of fog”
- The concept of life and money misalignment
- Thoughts on money buying happiness
- How his experiences inspired his new book “Wealth in the Key of Life”
- What his journey has taught him about having empathy and compassion for clients

Alright rockstars, let’s talk about something that doesn’t get spoken about enough… What do you do when the fire goes out?

In this episode, I’m diving into what it really looks like when you’ve been going hard, you’ve achieved some pretty epic things, but suddenly… the motivation just isn’t there. Maybe you’re feeling flat, stuck, bored... or just plain over it. And let’s be honest, when you’re used to being the capable one, the driven one, the high-achiever who’s got it all together… feeling like this can really mess with your head.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own journey from back to the early days of building my business from scratch, juggling kids and side hustles, to scaling up to nearly seven figures and then completely redesigning how I work now.

You’ll hear:

    Why that hustle energy you started with won’t carry you forever

    How movement creates motivation (and what to do when you can’t even get off the couch)

    What to look for if burnout’s hiding under your lack of drive

    Why you don’t need clarity to act—and how taking action creates the clarity you’re craving

If you’re in a bit of a slump right now, or if you’ve been wondering what the hell is wrong with you because your usual push isn’t working, this episode is your reminder that you'll be ok. You’re human. And there’s a way through it.

Let’s get you reconnected, re-energised, and back in the game.

Reignite Your Drive: Momentum, Motivation & the Burnout Blindspot

So many of us hold ourselves back, not because we don’t have the skills, the smarts, or the strategy, but because we’re afraid of what people might think.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes to one of my most uncomfortable “visibility” moments...getting completely humiliated in a training room and battling the inner voice that told me I wasn’t stylish, bold, or “enough” to wear the damn boots I’d packed. Spoiler alert: I wore the boots anyway.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

    * Why it's completely normal to link new concepts to familiar ideas—and how that actually supports learning and confidence

    * The wild stories we make up about how we’ll be judged (and how to rewrite them)

    * The real reason people hesitate to show up, speak up, and step out—and how to overcome it

    * A mantra that changed everything for me: “It’s not my business what anyone else thinks of me.”

    * How to move through fear, stay curious, and keep showing up—even when you feel like a human pretzel

Whether you’re holding back on launching something bold, booking that photoshoot, applying for the role, or simply showing up more visibly in your brand, this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small.

Because let’s be honest… you can’t be unforgettable if you’re trying to blend in.

ABOUT
“Few people have the writing ability, education expertise, and thoughtfulness to write a book about the state of education. Jared is masterful in the classroom . . . and [his book] will change the landscape of education.”—Dr. Christopher Emdin, New York Times best-selling author of For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood . . . and the Rest of Y’all Too

An award-winning environmental science teacher’s actionable roadmap for educators interested in making the world a classroom, even in the city

Join award-winning New York City educator Dr. Jared Fox in—and out of—his classroom on an excursion that goes beyond books and lectures to reimagine teaching and learning. Through a blend of real-life examples and practical commentary, readers will see how Fox created localized learning opportunities for his students out of canoeing on the Bronx River, hiking in the Catskill Mountains, and other unconventional approaches.

Replete with sample projects, topics, theories, and strategies, Learning Environment offers an actionable vision for reengaging students and reenergizing teachers. The book encourages K–12 STEM educators to build experiential learning into their teaching styles by:

*designing field trips as fieldwork
*partnering with local experts
*implementing localized learning through hands-on application
*leveraging interdisciplinary instruction

Fox invites teachers to create dynamic, transformative educational opportunities by implementing experiential learning based in their own communities. With Fox’s heartfelt wisdom and practical know-how, readers will be empowered to reconsider and redefine what teaching and learning can and should be.
