Sometimes we resort to “amateur psychology” when an area of our life isn’t going the way we’d like. It’s natural to ask WHY and look for answers that often lead to some version of “What’s wrong with me?” What if you could replace that thinking with a new system focused on actions that explore possibilities?
In this episode, host Meredith Bell discussed these ideas and many others from The Power of Systems with Trevor Timbeck, who co-authored the book with Steve Chandler. You’ll hear about Trevor’s experiences that led to the realization that everything in life can be viewed as a system. Trevor also shares the system he and Steve created for writing their book that made the process fun and energizing for both of them.
You’ll learn two simple questions to ask when evaluating a current system, and you may feel a sense of freedom in hearing how easy it is to start playing with a new one. Trevor has thought deeply about the power of systems, and his brilliance shines through in this conversation. Be prepared to take notes and listen to this episode more than once. There are many thought-provoking insights.

What if you could learn a simple way to create what you DO want instead of what you DON’T want? Chris Smith has dedicated the past 15 years of his life to helping others do just that. In this unforgettable conversation with host Meredith Bell, Chris explains the difference between speaking possibilities to yourself instead of listening to the limitations that often dominate our thoughts.
You’ll hear several examples of how you can speak possibility into others as well as into yourself. You can have a positive impact on everyone you encounter as you learn to look for opportunities to recognize their unique areas of greatness and inspire the person to live into those. His passion for this topic will inspire you to see yourself and see others as enough and worthy just as you and they are right now.
We create our limitations. They don’t exist in reality. Yet possibilities exist everywhere, and we are often blind to them. Listen to this eye-opening conversation and start seeing the possibilities that are yours for the taking.
About the Guest:
According to Chris Smith, he would rather skip the accolades, achievements, and personal back-patting found in typical bios. He’d just like to get to the truth: Chris Smith is who he chooses to be every single day. His purpose is to awaken people to what is actually possible in every area of their lives.
His story begins in Arizona, where his family was among the first to settle on that wild and beautiful land. He grew up a cowboy, surrounded by storytellers, soaking up wisdom that couldn’t be found in books.
He pursued a few vocations and found a measure of success in each. None really spoke to him so instead he chose to speak into each of them – connecting with people to create possibility, finding meaning in leadership and language, and unlocking growth and change. And in doing so, he discovered his purpose.
Today, Chris and his team at The PSBLTY Co., partner with entrepreneurs, brands, and teams of all sizes to discover their identity and purpose. Working together, they find clarity, build leadership and culture, align teams, and create sustainable growth that is aligned with who they are in the world.

It was initially devastating when Jim Wilcher’s business imploded 20 years ago. And then he took time to slow down, become introspective, and grow from the experience. Jim shares with host Meredith Bell what he learned about himself during this self-discovery process and how he applies the lessons today in his work with clients.
A key aspect of Jim’s inner work involved meditation and journaling, which expanded his understanding of mindfulness and the role his ego had played in his life. You’ll discover how Jim’s earlier work helping companies focus on their identity in the creation of their brand has a parallel in his work with individual clients. Who are you really? What is true for you?
This is a conversation packed with brilliant insights that will touch your mind, heart, and spirit. Jim is a gifted storyteller who brings you to the scene with him, and you are sure to identify with the emotions he felt around the life events he reveals. Jim also describes what he’s learned—and helps his clients learn—about sensing what’s going on with another person in order to respond in a way that truly connects with them.
Jim shared the transformative power of attending live events, like The Ultimate Experience in Phoenix that he attended in January, 2024. He encouraged listeners to do whatever it takes to attend The Ultimate Experience Birmingham, England, on May 25-26, 2024, where a deeply transformative experience awaits.

What if you could create yourself at the beginning of each day so you focus on the possibilities in front of you instead of limitations? Our guest Chris Smith chooses who he is going to be on a daily basis. In this conversation with host Meredith Bell, Chris explores the series of steps he took in order to experience this kind of freedom.
Chris describes the process he worked through in his coaching with Steve Hardison, first identifying self-judgments he’d made, then releasing each of them through compassionate self-forgiveness, and finally crafting a document filled with declarations that state who he truly is.
This same process is available to everyone, and it’s described in detail in Chapter 28, “The Document,” in The Ultimate Coach. Listening to Chris describe his journey brings the steps to life, and you’ll discover why it’s “more like farming than rocket science.” This is an episode you’ll want to listen to more than once because you’re sure to gain new insights about yourself each time.

In this inspiring episode of The Ultimate Coach podcast, the spotlight is on ĐƠN GIẢN (pronounced: Dun Za-an), A.K.A. Dave Berman. He is an unconventional coach whose style and mission continuously evolve along with his way of being. These days, ĐƠN GIẢN establishes imagination partnerships, co-creating experiences pointing people to their infinite imagination, creativity, possibility, opportunity, and other “supplies” they can discover are always available.
In Vietnamese, ĐƠN GIẢN means SIMPLE. “Simplicity is only as complicated as you make it,” he says. As the conversation unfolds, ĐƠN GIẢN describes the influence of immersing in the Vietnamese culture, living in what he calls Home Chi Minh City (Saigon). He also shares about exploring a spiritual understanding of laughter; free hugs as an expression of his infinite love supply; his legacy of sunshine; and pronoia - the belief the Universe conspires on our behalf.
As mentioned in the episode by ĐƠN GIẢN:
"Any legacy of mine is gonna be sunshine and I'll leave it behind as a sign of my love for mankind."White Falcon Fuzz (song by The Mother Hips) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smmDsfPKKPM
Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia, Revised and Expanded: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings (book by Rob Brezsny) – https://a.co/d/00Q09RbAbout the Guest:
Dave Berman is an American author, speaker, and coach who NOW goes by the Vietnamese name ĐƠN GIẢN. In English that translates to SIMPLE. This name emerged in July 2023 during the creation of his latest book called The Simple Book of Infinity. He says he knows how to be Dave and he’s learning to be simple. He’s been exploring his way of being for over 15 years since discovering Rob Brezsny’s book, Pronoia, about how the Universe conspires on our behalf. That began a transformation highlighted first by being undiagnosed and unmedicated after 20 years believing he was bipolar. From there, he got on the path to coaching and devoted himself to a still ongoing daily exploration of laughter that has taken him around the world. ĐƠN GIẢN is currently based in Saigon, which he calls Home Chi Minh City.
