When I first sat down with Robert Kohler, I knew this conversation would be different.

Robert Kohler isn’t your typical legal professional. After founding and selling multiple high-tech companies and building a thriving legal firm—Core Law Group—he made a conscious decision to step back from traditional practice. Why? To reclaim freedom, prioritize family, and grow a team of elite attorneys committed to doing things differently.

In this episode of The Mindful Hustle, Robert and I dive into what it really means to build a values-driven business that puts people first without compromising profits. He shares how Core Law Group delivers premium legal service at a fraction of the cost—without junior associates, without the courtroom theatrics, and without burnout.

What stood out to me most was Robert’s quiet confidence in doing business his own way. His attorneys—each with 25+ years of experience—serve tech giants and startups alike, all from the comfort of their homes. This model isn’t just about affordability. It’s about freedom, alignment, and mastery.

We also touched on:

• Why Robert left California despite making millions
• His no-courtroom, all-strategy legal philosophy
• The power of building a lean, elite team that scales without stress
• His early thoughts on AI and the future of legal tech
• What really gets clients to say yes in a noisy, distracted world

This episode is a must-listen for high performers who are ready to rewrite the rules of business, live more intentionally, and scale with simplicity.

What if one anonymous gesture could save a life?

In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Hustle, I sit down with Iris Barratt, a visionary peacemaker and founder of HonoringEvents.com, to explore a simple yet revolutionary truth: when we honor others, we transform lives—starting with our own.

Iris has spent decades creating anonymous honoring programs that uplift self-worth, spark connection, and spread joy in ways that ripple out through communities and generations. From shifting suicidal teens back into hope… to celebrating spiritual milestones and everyday heroes… her work proves that genuine acknowledgment has the power to heal hearts and rewire identities.

This isn’t just about giving out awards. It’s about creating new traditions rooted in unconditional love, compassion, and storytelling. Whether you're a leader, coach, creative, or community builder, this conversation will unlock a whole new realm of what’s possible when you combine celebration with soul.

We dive into:

• The life-changing impact of anonymous recognition
• Why honoring builds circles of nobility and trust
• How storytelling and positive play can create lasting peace
• Tools you can use to create meaningful honoring events in your life and business
• Iris’ mission to translate honoring into every language as a global peacemaking movement

💡 Iris says it best: “When we honor others, we learn how to honor ourselves.” And when we do that? We become powerful vessels of harmony and impact in every room we enter.

What if structure isn’t the enemy of freedom—but the key to it?

In Episode 27 of *The Mindful Hustle*, I sat down with Ryan Christensen, systems strategist and founder of *Kwakus Consulting*, for a grounded, deeply spiritual conversation about how systems can unlock not only time and money—but emotional and spiritual liberation.

Ryan's story is one so many high performers will resonate with. Burned out from hustle culture, he realized he wasn't out of alignment because he was lazy—he was out of alignment because he was doing everything *except* what God had actually assigned him to do.

We unpack what it really means to:

Build automated systems that reflect your *soul's rhythm*, not just your business goals

Invite God into your operations—not just your prayers

Get honest about the difference between movement and momentum

Create stillness and sustainability in your business without guilt

Use boundaries, automations, and process to *serve your purpose*, not smother it

Ryan is one of those rare voices who can talk about CRMs and God in the same breath—and make it make sense. His work is a reflection of what happens when spiritual alignment meets systems thinking.

If you’re a heart-centered entrepreneur who’s tired of trying to “do it all,” this episode is a must-listen. You’ll leave with a new definition of productivity, powerful mindset shifts around structure, and permission to build your business in a way that feels like grace—not grind.

This episode reminded me (and will remind you) that the true purpose of structure is to support your calling—not suffocate it.
