Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our ongoing exploration of the principles that lead to greater certainty in life and business, we focus on one of the most universal and transformative concepts: Light. Light symbolizes hope, guidance, and truth, all essential components of certainty. In this episode, we’ll uncover how embracing and sharing light—whether in leadership, personal development, or service—can illuminate our paths and those of others, creating a ripple effect of positivity and assurance. We’ll discuss powerful examples of light in action, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ “Light the World” campaign to global figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa, whose lives were beacons of hope. Light’s presence in art, science, and faith reveals its profound ability to inspire and guide us through challenges. In business, leaders who radiate clarity and positivity not only attract success but foster environments where trust, collaboration, and innovation thrive. The Law of Attraction teaches that the energy we emit shapes what we receive. By radiating light through kindness, optimism, and service, we create a self-sustaining cycle of growth and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. From daily actions to transformative initiatives, light aligns us with our values and allows us to build certainty not only for ourselves but for everyone around us. In closing, light is more than a metaphor—it’s a foundation for purpose and progress. When we share our light, we become agents of clarity and hope, helping ourselves and others move confidently through life’s uncertainties.

In this episode of Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing sits down with seasoned entrepreneur, business coach, and Profit Acceleration Specialist, Skip Nelson, to delve into the realities of building a business from the ground up. Together, they explore the challenges of entrepreneurship—the sacrifices, costs, long hours, and often sleepless nights that are all part of the journey. They also discuss the WHY: the dreams, rewards, and driving purpose that make it all worthwhile. The discussion highlights the critical role of understanding one's WHY. Why are you in business? Why is it worth it? Are you willing to persevere through the setbacks and challenges that will surely come? Skip reveals that money is rarely the sole motivator and emphasizes the importance of connecting with a deeper purpose. Patrick concurs and shares his own insights as the owner of three different companies, two domestic, and one international. Skip shares his invaluable insights on why so many business owners excel at their craft but so often struggle with the “business of business.” It's usually because, while they're good at what they do (dentistry, roofing, law, etc.). they aren't usually marketers, accountants, attorneys, SEO experts, or salespeople, etc. To succeed at business, we all need to do three main things: 1. Put in the effort, maintain a strong work ethic, and be willing to pay the price. 2. Surround themselves with a team of experts who excel in areas they don’t (this includes of course coaches, mentors, and other business experts like Patrick and Skip). 3. Commit to continuous growth, learning, improvement, and ongoing evolution. Tune in for an inspiring and practical conversation packed with advice and encouragement for entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.

Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our journey through the alphabet of principles that lead to greater certainty in our lives and businesses, I’ve decided on “K is for Kindness.” Often overlooked in business, kindness is a powerful tool that can help build trust, loyalty, and stability—essential pillars of certainty. Leading with kindness may seem unconventional, but it forges relationships that last, creating environments where people feel valued and motivated to give their best. In this episode, we’ll explore how kindness functions as “compassion in action.” We’ll share examples like Patagonia and Southwest Airlines, where kindness has led to stronger customer loyalty, company stability, and growth. These companies understand that treating people well—whether employees or customers—builds a sense of certainty that fuels long-term success. Kindness in leadership also creates a culture of trust, where innovation and collaboration thrive. Leaders like Tony Hsieh of Zappos built a legacy on this foundation, creating brands known for exceptional customer care and employee loyalty. Kindness fosters creativity, and when people feel valued, they’re more willing to invest their time and ideas. We’ll also touch on the importance of everyday acts of kindness. It’s not just grand gestures that matter but the consistent, small actions that build trust and reinforce our own sense of purpose. Kindness aligns us with our values, fostering certainty not only in others but within ourselves. In closing, kindness is far more than a feel-good concept—it’s a strategic approach that invites kismet, aligning us with opportunities we might not foresee. When we lead with kindness, we set a foundation of certainty that supports both our personal growth and professional success.

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having guests on Finding Certainty to share my personal thoughts on a specific topic. We’re making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we’re at “J.” I've decided to discuss the topic of Joy … something I think most of us would love to experience more of. Joy, in many respects, an outgrowth of Certainty and of the previous topics we’ve been discussing. It’s also a catalyst for them too, though. Which comes first, right? The chicken or the egg or, in this case, Certainty or Joy? Joy is an experienced and a characteristic that can be elusive if you’re not careful, but so much of it depends on us and our minds. What we think of it, how we define it, and how we FIND it are all fair game during today’s Certainty discussion. In today’s monologue, I’ll share why joy is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives (or, can, if we’ll let it), and offer a few personal stories and lessons as usual that I’ve learned along the way. I’ve experienced some great examples in my life and learned, the hard way at times, how to protect and fortify the joy in my life. During the show, we'll talk about the secrets to finding more joy–how to find it, develop it, maintain it, and retain it. Like all of these topics, joy is something I’m working on daily, striving to improve and grow.

In this upcoming episode of Finding Certainty on VoiceAmerica Business, host Patrick Laing sits down with David Kazarian, the innovative founder and CEO of Student Optimum Services (SOS) in Southern California. Join us as we delve into David's journey of building a company that specializes in helping students navigate the complex world of financial aid, scholarships, and student loan optimization. Discover how SOS is making a significant impact by empowering students to graduate with less debt and more financial freedom. In the USA, as of 2024, 43.5 million people carry student loan debt, with an average of over $45,000.00 owed per borrower. David Kazarian and his team at SOS are on a mission to help as many of these individuals as possible take advantage of federal programs available to them that can help reduce their financial burden. Their goal is to free up money that borrowers can then use to lower their total debt, increase their savings, and boost their investments. During the conversation, Patrick and David also explore the specific eligibility requirements for SOS's services, which include: Total student loan debt must be $20,000.00 or higher. Students must be out of school (unless the loan is a Parent's Plus Loan). Loans must be federal loans, not from private lenders. The borrower must currently have a payment plan. If you're passionate about debt-freedom, financial literacy, or simply looking to learn from a leader who's actively making a difference, this episode is not to be missed. Tune in to gain insights into how David and his team are transforming the financial futures of former college students nationwide.

In this inspiring episode of Finding Certainty, syndicated host Patrick Laing sits down with Brady Murray, Founder of RODS Heroes and CaringTide, to discuss the profound impact of adoption and the beauty of raising children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. Brady shares his personal journey as a father of 11, including two children with Down Syndrome, and seven total adopted children. Together, Patrick and Brady explore the challenges and triumphs of parenthood, nonprofit work, and how disabilities—often inaccurately seen as weaknesses—can not only be transformed into strengths but can actually be advantages and inspiration in and of themselves (the lessons they teach can most definitely be). Through their conversation, Patrick and Brady offer a heartfelt message to families, urging them to open their hearts to the joy and capabilities of individuals with Down Syndrome and other mental and physical challenges. Brady emphasizes the belief that no professional success can compare to the fulfillment found in a strong, diverse, and dynamic family, and he shares his mission to change perceptions, proving that disabilities can be a powerful source of strength and inspiration both.

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having a guest on with me to share my personal thoughts on a specific Finding Certainty topic. We’re making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we’re at “I. I've decided to discuss the topic of Integrity. It’s fitting because integrity in many respects ties all of the previous topics together, like the threads in a quilt, much like the neat Quilt of Valor veteran recognition ceremony I was honored to attend and take part in this past week. Integrity is the integral to every characteristic we've discussed this past year, and I truly believe that without it, none of the others—like Accountability, Balance, or Humility—can stand on their own. In today’s monologue, I’ll share why integrity is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives, and offer some personal stories and lessons I’ve learned as well as several examples from around the world about the topic. We'll talk about staying true to one’s values, even when it’s difficult, and staying consistent and rooted most of all. Like all of these topics, integrity is something I’m working on daily, striving to find it more and more in my own life and business as well. I hope you'll join me in this process. It can make every experience your meaningful, impactful, and rich.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may already know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I’ve planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with August being the 8th month of the year, we’re at “H” is for Humility. It seems a little funny, talking about Humility like I’m an expert or something. I’m not, but I do have a few thoughts I’d like to share. In fact, each of the topics I’ve addressed this year have been areas I’m personally working on and trying to improve at myself. Just like last month's topic (Giving), Humility is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s not. I have some strong opinions on each of these topics, have learned some powerful (sometimes painful) lessons regarding them, and they’re each something I’m learning a lot about and trying to master in my life. I believe Humility is one of the most fundamental principles and characteristics we’ve all got to master if we want to be truly successful in life, not to mention “find” and develop CERTAINTY in our lives. There are a lot of ways that we can learn humility and, in my experience, when we need it, the Lord is happy to provide reminders. Humility is core to any successful relationship, lasting impact, or legacy we hope to leave for our kids, our team, our clients, and more.
