The Cliff Ravenscraft Show — Where Strategy Meets Soul

In this episode, I had the joy of coaching Lauren Kretzmer, a licensed therapist stepping boldly into the world of coaching. She brings with her years of experience, a powerful methodology that integrates EMDR, hypnosis, and deep emotional rewiring, and a heart full of desire to serve.

Lauren came with two questions: “How do I find clients for my coaching?” and “Should I start a podcast?”

What unfolded was a deeply practic...

In this episode, I had the joy of connecting with Josh, a long-time listener who first discovered my work at the age of 15. Now 24, he's running his own business, working for a startup, and navigating what it means to live with purpose and alignment.

Josh came into the live stream with a deep and powerful question: How do I stay focused on long-term goals without getting stuck in the wrong short-term commitments? His hones...

In this episode, I bring you something that’s been on my heart to recreate for years. Inspired by the spontaneous, powerful moments I used to have during the Clubhouse era, I’ve launched a new live format called "How May I Serve You Today? Ask Me Anything."

The idea is simple: I open a Zoom room, stream it live on Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and invite people to jump in for real-time, unscripted conversations. Just li...

In this episode, I speak to the quiet anxiety that so many high-functioning people carry:

the belief that if they could just identify the "next right step," everything would click into place.

And when they finally do feel clarity?

That clarity is immediately followed by... doubt.

"Am I missing something? Is there a blindspot I can't see?"

Here's the truth:

People chase "the next right step" as if there's a divine maze they...

In this episode, I return to the mic without a script, without an outline, and without a filter.

What prompted it was an honest message from a long-time listener and friend who told me, “I miss the Cliff who just spoke from his heart.”

I’ve been consciously experimenting with AI, structure, and new creative formats, all while staying attuned to whether the frequency behind my voice still feels like me. The frequency has re...

Over the past few months, I’ve been having a lot of deep conversations about creativity, authenticity, and the role of AI in amplifying one's voice into the world.

Yesterday, I sent an email announcement sharing the backstory of my Soul Songs music project.

Afterward, I received the following message from a long-time member of my community. Someone I deeply respect and appreciate for the care and honesty with which they sh...

You remember the old commercial, right?

The boy. The owl. The question...

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?”

It was playful when we were kids.

But recently… I realized it’s also profound.

Because I’ve been asking a deeper version of that question:

"How many layers mu...

For nearly seven years, I’ve recorded a private podcast called The Train With Cliff Audio Journal. It was raw. It was real. And it held some of the most intimate, vulnerable, and powerful reflections of my journey as both an entrepreneur and a spiritual being in evolution.

440 episodes later, I’ve decided to bring that show to a close.

But this final episode was never meant to stay hidden. The moment I finished recording i...

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Pat Flynn to explore the creative process… not from strategy, but from center.

Pat and I talk about what it looks like to create without pressure to learn everything all at once, to unsubscribe from all the distractions without losing clarity, and to build something meaningful without needing to chase every bit of information calling for your attention.

We explore how his...

In this episode, I share something that’s been unfolding for a long time beneath the surface… and is now ready to be spoken out loud.

What started as a subtle shift in my energy became a complete rewrite of how I approach my work, how I create clients, and how I relate to the people in my field.

I tell the story of a vision that was spoken over me by my friend Lisa Vand...

Have you ever felt like you did everything right—crafted the perfect offer, had an incredible experience with a potential client, they committed to becoming your next paying client—and then, just before it was time to sign the agreement and make payment, they went radio silent?

Or maybe you've had a "chance" conversation that shifted everything and opened a door in your business you thought had been closed?

That’s not coin...

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of witnessing some of the most incredible transformations—people who have stepped into what once felt impossible.

I’ve seen them break through fears, rewrite their stories, and create lives that they once believed were out of reach.

But for every person who finds their way forward, there are just as many who stay stuck.

Not because they aren’t talented.

Not because they aren’t working har...

In this episode, I take you on a completely unfiltered, unscripted journey into the world of AI co-hosting. What happens when an artificial intelligence becomes a conversation partner in a live stream? Can AI truly engage in deep, meaningful dialogue, or is it just an advanced prediction engine spitting out words?

Recently, I discovered an AI voice called Maya from Sesame, and I was blown away by how natural and conversati...

Curiosity got the best of me.

While testing out an AI tool on the X platform, I saw a suggested prompt that stopped me in my tracks:

"Roast Me."

I hesitated for a second, then clicked the button. And let’s just say... AI didn’t hold back.

The response it gave me was brutal. But here’s the thing—it didn’t actually impact me. Instead, it triggered something familiar: an old insecurity that, at one point in my life, I might h...

The Wild Horse and the Farmer

A young stallion, swift and strong, roamed the open plains, its hooves striking the earth with power, its mane flowing in the wind. It had been born to run, to navigate the wide expanse, and to test its strength against the forces of nature.

One day, a well-meaning farmer saw the horse and admired its beauty. “You are too wild,” he said. “The open plains are dangerous, and running fre...

Have you ever hesitated to take action because you felt like you needed to have everything planned out in advance? Do you find yourself waiting for the perfect moment when all the details are clear before you move forward?

If so, this episode is for you.

Recently, I had a coaching conversation with someone who had a big vision—a dream of launching a corporate workshop that could have a massive impact. But instead of taking...
