The Shattered Mindset
The Shattered Mindset was founded by Melvin Larry, a seasoned business leader who has navigated over 40 years in corporate management and direct sales, driven by a passion for sharing the transformative power of mindset shifts.

What if burnout isn’t the problem… but a sign you’re out of alignment?
In this powerful and transparent conversation, Melvin Larry sits down with Angel Stephens—former U.S. Army Captain and founder of A-Game Expert—to unpack what really happens when momentum stalls, clarity fades, and burnout sets in.
Angel shares her journey from military structure to corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, revealing a deeper truth: many people aren’t stuck because they don’t know what to do… they’re stuck because they’re operating from an identity that no longer fits.
This episode goes beyond surface-level motivation. It explores clarity, alignment, decision-making, and the courage to pivot—even when it doesn’t make sense.
You’ll hear real stories about rebuilding, recognizing misalignment, and learning how to trust yourself again. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not moving forward, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
Key Takeaways:
- The difference between burnout and misalignment
- Why clarity accelerates progress and eliminates confusion
- How identity—not strategy—is often the real issue
- The power of stopping, auditing, and realigning your actions
- Why starting again is not starting over
Angel’s message is simple but powerful:
Start again. Believe again. Win again.
