"Internal Validation" | The Confidence

Peace isn't found—it's achieved internally. Power is knowing who you are. Confidence is trusting that knowledge absolutely.

Host Michael Stewart-Isaacs delivers a spiritually grounded, performance-driven episode on internal validation, enterprise dominance, and why your potential means nothing without performance clauses.

In this episode, we validate:

Profit Income Tuesday: The 7 Day Game Plan Continues
Day two—turning operations into profit. Michael reveals: Profit flows to those with internal validation. External approval is fleeting. Self-trust is the foundation of sustainable wealth.

"Internal Validation":
Michael delivers profound, peace-focused truth:

Life is spiritual, disciplined, and moral—yet this is the hardest virtue to achieve. Socially, many seek peace externally, not realizing true peace is an internal achievement.

MINDSET Series: Power is knowing who you are.

Confidence = The feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.

Michael expands: Confidence is the state of feeling certain about the truth of something. When you trust yourself internally, external chaos can't destabilize you.

Life hacks for success in business, economics, and entrepreneurship:

Physics connection: Confidence is potential energy—the quantity determining energy of mass in a gravitational field or charge in an electric field. Internal validation converts potential into kinetic results.

Headlines: Violence, Enterprise AI Domination & Licensing's MVP Status

Tensions Over Alex Pretti's Killing by Immigration Agents:
Michael honors: Rest in Peace Alex and all victims of violence. We unfortunately become martyrs to our beliefs with the pure hope that something changes in the world.

Anthropic is Winning Enterprise:
While OpenAI chases consumers, Anthropic dominates business. Targeting $20-26B ARR for 2026, 80% from enterprise customers. Claude Code hit $1B run-rate revenue in six months. Anthropic expects cash flow positive by 2027—likely beating OpenAI to this milestone.

Michael's analysis: Enterprise pays premium. Consumer chases scale, but enterprise builds empires.

Google's Playing the Long Game:
650M monthly Gemini users won't see ads anytime soon. Why? Google's $300B/year ads business subsidizes AI tools indefinitely—a luxury OpenAI doesn't have.

Michael's insight: Subsidized AI creates unfair advantages. Build moats through diversified revenue.

Licensing News: Licensing is the MVP for New Pro Sports Leagues:
By Mark Seavy. As new professional leagues proliferate, licensing opportunities grow. Leagues start small, testing demand, but incorporate licensing into brand building earlier than ever as a marketing strategy—clear at the Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show in Las Vegas.

Michael's takeaway: Licensing isn't secondary revenue—it's primary brand validation.

The Confidence:
Michael unpacks Performance Over Potential:

"Performance Clauses" define action or accomplishment of tasks. Michael breaks down:

Performance definitions:

Potential definitions:

Michael's truth: The world rewards performance, not potential. Potential is a promise. Performance is proof.

Validate internally. Perform relentlessly. Trust confidently.

🚀 This episode will shift you from external seeking to internal mastery—and unlock unstoppable performance.
