Part Two: A Conversation with Elliott Noble Holt

Welcome back to part two of my conversation with Elliott Noble Holt, founder and former CEO of MediCopy Services, author of The Bald Bearded Boss, and a man whose outlook on life and business is both deeply inspiring and refreshingly grounded. In part one, we explored his journey of building a national business and what drives him personally. Today, we’re diving deeper into his core principles, how he protects his energy, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

What are your core principles?

Open and honest communication. To me, this has nothing to do with hurting someone’s feelings or having mine hur. It’s about keeping lines of communication open and being willing to accept what the other person is saying, and vice versa.

Another huge deal for me is accountability. My mom always told me: “Live so you do not have to explain.” If I am not cheating, lying, manipulating, being rude for no reason, or being passive-aggressive, then I’m doing right by people.

I also believe in energy. What you put out, you will get back. I’ve had enough experiences in my life to know this is true. And to me, there’s no separation. Anything you do personally, you do professionally.

We are both into energy, and looking for signs from the Universe. How do you notice signs around you and how do you help show non-believers?

Ahh, well for one, I see a medium a few times a year. She helps bring awareness to the energy around me and provides clarity. Recently, there was a strong maternal energy around me, and I received some signs from my mother.

Signs are all around you, but you have to remain open to seeing and receiving them. When people close themselves off, their intuition gets cut off and it becomes fuzzy. But we’re all capable of tapping into this. The more you notice, the more open you become to receiving.

With non-believers, I think the key is curiosity. Ask questions, share why you’re bringing up these signs. Not to convince them, but because you want them to experience how amazing it is.

How do you protect your energy, and what routines help?

I believe you have to be selfish with your time and carve out space for yourself each day. For me, that’s usually in the mornings before my family wakes up or before the demands of business kick in.

It takes sacrifice. You really have to ask yourself how badly you want something. I also steer clear of drama. I don’t like habitual conversations filled with complaints. Venting is one thing, but if it’s a recurring problem, we need to make changes. Action, action, action.

Another piece is boundaries. Know the people in your life who require more energy from you, and recognize that you don’t have to give it to them freely. Let them know you love and care for them, but respond when you’re ready. Protecting your energy means knowing your limits.

In life and business, what would you recommend when the path forward is unclear?

Pray and ask for clarity from the Universe. I believe God wants us to live in abundance. It’s about giving back, helping others, and making sure where you’re being led aligns with your core values.

I recommend asking yourself—and those closest to you—three questions: What’s one thing you want to stop? One thing you want to start? And one thing you want to continue?

These small questions create momentum. Even 5% adjustments can move the needle toward greater happiness—whether personally or professionally. The answers are always inside us: do right by people, listen to God and the Universe, invest in yourself, and keep your eye on the prize.

What do you want your imprint on the world to be?

Oh goodness! I was actually at a funeral last week and listening to the reflections on the person’s life, so this question really hit home.

I’d want people to say: Elliott was always willing to give his time, always willing to listen, and always did right by people. I want to be on the right side of karma. With a karma bucket that was overflowing.

Yes, I’ve achieved a lot with my business and I have the fun shiny things, but those are just results of hard work and good energy. They don’t define me. Gratitude and paying it forward are at the heart of it all. Gratitude is the final formula for success and happiness. The more you give thanks, the more you have to be thankful for.

Closing Thoughts

Talking with Elliott is a reminder that true success isn’t measured in titles, money, or accolades, but in the energy you carry and the way you treat others. His perspective blends faith, gratitude, and accountability into a way of living that leaves a lasting impact—both personally and professionally.
