57.341 - 58.404 Ray Gutierrez

You look amazing.

58.484 - 60.829 Melissa C. Butterworth

Chapter 2: How does Melissa define purpose-driven living?

200.882 - 201.282 Melissa C. Butterworth

It is.

0

201.462 - 202.003 Ray Gutierrez

Oh, absolutely.

0

202.023 - 208.493 Melissa C. Butterworth

It is. I mean, if you could see what Palm Beach is like now. Oh, dude. I mean, it is incredible.

0

208.513 - 232.184 Ray Gutierrez

I wonder why. Hmm. It's just one thought. I like to call him grandpa. Like, cause I, I grew up with a grandfather very much that, that mindset. And it was just like, it's like a door closes. We'll break the window open and break in and, and, and thrive. Let's talk about how that is essentially your North star. Actually, let's talk about your North star expand.

232.224 - 234.968 Ray Gutierrez

Like what wakes, what gets you out of bed every morning?

234.948 - 255.87 Melissa C. Butterworth

You know, I have to say that it's knowing what your purpose is. You know, I wrote a book called Clues, and it's really all about helping women find their God-given purpose. Oh, yeah. And I think when we find out what our purpose is, what our why is, what our passion is, you know, I'm up at 4 a.m., 4.30 a.m., and I get the majority of my work done by 9 a.m.

255.89 - 256.251 Ray Gutierrez

That's good.

256.271 - 258.073 Melissa C. Butterworth

Because I just love what I do.

258.093 - 271.871 Ray Gutierrez

I nap at 9, I wake up at 1, and then I do like three hours of work, go back to sleep, and then up at 5. Yeah. It's very bizarre. I'm like, this is, this is my rhythm. I'm going to just go for it. And then I just set alarms. I'm like, this is, these are bizarre times that mean nothing to me.

Chapter 3: What role does consistency play in building a successful business?

373.694 - 393.16 Ray Gutierrez

It's like we live in a reality where it's like on my Uber to work, I wrote three songs using my chat GPT for music. And I'm like, we live in a reality where everything has been so gatekept where it's like, No, this is mine. Now with AI, it's kind of released it to the masses where everyone can now be an influencer or celebrity.

393.601 - 408.747 Ray Gutierrez

It's up to us to really guide these new voices and be like, you can thrive and make money and then do your four hour week. And then you could still live life and ascend. Like, how do you speak to your tribe, your village, your followers, if you say?

0

408.727 - 411.149 Melissa C. Butterworth

Yeah, you mean about how to find a balance?

0

411.349 - 421.598 Ray Gutierrez

As in like when you speak to your folks that follow you, your community, how do you address them? Like are you talking business first? Are you talking energy? How do you communicate?

0

421.858 - 427.123 Melissa C. Butterworth

You know, I'm pretty raw and real. Right on. And I take it all the way back to my farm days.

427.223 - 427.483 Ray Gutierrez

Cool.

428.204 - 450.558 Melissa C. Butterworth

Yeah, I take it all the way back to my farm days and the things that I learned when I was really, really young. Oh, yeah, dude. That I apply now. I kind of dumb it down and keep it simple. And I think people like authenticity. And so I'm known as Mel B, the warrior for women. Right on. And I just keep it real. And I'm all about telling real live stories, both the good and the bad.

450.618 - 473.158 Melissa C. Butterworth

Because I don't think people just need to see the good. For sure. So I have a lot of content that describes the really hard times as well. Because I'm normal. Just because you see me that I've got this massive success story, it doesn't mean that I haven't had incredible trials and tribulations. But the bottom line for me is that...

473.138 - 485.435 Melissa C. Butterworth

At the end of the day, I talk to my audience about how they can turn their pain into their purpose. It's all about taking what's been painful in your life and turning that into your purpose.

Chapter 4: How can individuals turn pain into purpose according to Melissa?

552.472 - 578.168 Melissa C. Butterworth

That's awesome. I never come out and say that Clues is higher frequency than it's got. I let the reader figure out for themselves. That's awesome. What clues is and you know, I'll never forget Steve Jobs saying that it's impossible to connect the dots moving forward, you can kind of look back, but I'm going to challenge that. And I challenge that in my book clues.

0

578.488 - 594.396 Melissa C. Butterworth

Because if you can get to a subconscious and conscious level, oh, yeah. where you start recognizing the people, the places, the voices that you hear, the shadow self, you start recognizing it, then you can actually start connecting some of those thoughts moving forward. Oh, for sure.

0

594.556 - 610.845 Ray Gutierrez

For sure. It's pretty cool. For sure. Yeah. It's interesting how folks are just now understanding the spiritual reality or the different frequencies and they're tapping into it. I've had guests here that are mapping out the DMT reality where they've intravenously figure it out. We can take the 15 minute DMT experience into an hour or two, just intravenously.

0

610.865 - 634.72 Ray Gutierrez

And they're going to start mapping it and they're going to start sending people to this island. And it's quite the healing process. It's prayer times 10,000. Do you feel like we're not supposed to be doing this, but we should be doing this? Like 30, 40, 50 years ago, folks like us would be called crazy. No, it's very common that folks are aligned with this sort of philosophy.

0

635.037 - 654.855 Melissa C. Butterworth

Yeah, and I think everybody has their own philosophy, whether it's, you know, for me, it's God. Absolutely, same. Because he was the creator of the universe. So for me, it's God. For other people, it might be, you know, intuition or it might be energy or, you know, whatever it is that they call it. But I think that this country needs to kind of get back to those core basics.

655.196 - 677.1 Melissa C. Butterworth

Because we've lost touch with reality. And at least for me, you know, I've made it to the $2.4 billion mark. without having AI. Sure. And I made it to that mark without having all the social media. Amazing. And how did I do it? It's God. Yeah. And I give 100% credit to God for that.

677.12 - 698.818 Ray Gutierrez

That's amazing. Yeah. Leading with faith, do you feel, and I apologize, we may not even use this, because I'm just curious, as a Christian, I was saved at nine. You see social media, you see how we imprint ourselves on these devices. Don't you still think it's a little diabolical how this works? It's just like, it says it in the Bible, what we're doing is just... Not correct. This is not life.

699.419 - 712.584 Ray Gutierrez

And we're doing it to these devices. And like the mark of the devil is literally this device. This is the mark of the devil. This is what we do all day. This is what we've become. Don't you think the bad guys have won long ago? I'm like, it's quite sad, isn't it?

713.205 - 740.205 Melissa C. Butterworth

I don't know. I mean. I'm always the kind of person that thinks incredibly positively. Good for you. Yeah. And so I look at everything a lot differently. You're going to hear in my episode about some tragic accidents that I went through as a young child. And I think it really was going all the way back to the very beginning of my life where Where I heard that whisper from God. Wow.

Chapter 5: What spiritual influences shape Melissa's entrepreneurial journey?

759.153 - 776.613 Ray Gutierrez

That's why I kind of just use AI because I created this AI alter. I'm like, well, this is the creature alter ego that I've created to thrive in the social media. And I haven't published in seven years. I'm about to in 2026 and I'm already mentally preparing myself to jump back into this noise forever. That I was doing very well 10 years ago.

0

776.713 - 792.889 Ray Gutierrez

But listening to folks like you and coming from an authentic experience, I'm like, well, the way I keep myself authentic, I have this device called the Remarkable, which is something I write in. And I can see how my day went. If I had a stressful day or a positive day by just the temperament of the way I write. Right.

0

792.909 - 801.377 Ray Gutierrez

And like that to me is like that's me connecting and actually feeling the whole human experience because I can see how my day was just based on my energy, how I wrote.

0

801.357 - 802.261 Melissa C. Butterworth

Oh, it's fantastic.

0

802.342 - 805.819 Ray Gutierrez

Versus published.

805.839 - 818.958 Melissa C. Butterworth

You are so involved. I mean, you really are. You're an old spirit. Thank you. You've done the work. I can see it. I can tell. Thank you. You've done the work. I applaud you for that. That's great. Go, Grandma. I think your grandma had something to do with that. Oh, yeah. She's standing right here.

820.66 - 827.566 Ray Gutierrez

So what are we going to learn about you in your episode? Give me the arc, the beginning, middle, and end in 90 seconds.

828.187 - 838.963 Melissa C. Butterworth

Sure. So you're going to learn how Melissa Conley Butterworth has turned her pain into purpose. Great name. Thank you. This is Butterworth. Yeah.

838.983 - 843.992 Ray Gutierrez

It's just like, if you don't get it right when you hear it, I'm like, eh, move on. Exactly. Exactly.
