We spend a lot of time asking how brands can be memorable. We spend almost none asking what happens when the memory is the product.Agility gets talked about as moving fast with new tools. It's really the ability to change repeatedly without losing what makes you recognizable — and that gets harder when what you sell is something a customer plans to keep for twenty years.Today, we're going to talk about:- Why designing for permanence is a strategic choice, not a nostalgic one- Getting specific about what AI is actually doing inside a creative product — and where the customer stays the author- What has to hold steady across a brand as volume, automation, and channels all multiplyTo help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Andrew Laffoon, CEO & Co-Founder at Mixbook.About Andrew LaffoonAndrew Laffoon is the CEO and co‑founder of Mixbook, a leading photo storytelling platform that helps people transform meaningful moments into beautifully crafted memories.

The Boston Globe's biggest story in 2002 was an earth-shattering expose of child abuse within the Catholic Church. The Boston Globe's biggest story in 2026 was an earth-shattering expose of a dysfunctional lesbian community in a small town in Massachusetts trying to keep a COVID-conscious, masks-required queer bar financially afloat. It's true, this story has everything: a co-owner ditching the bar for clown school, a therapist mediator accused of being a cop, and of course, some secular hijab-inspired accessories. But I fear an analysis of the story's immense virality reveals a darker truth, and should encourage us all to reconsider our own online behavior. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon!

Why does healing feel so hard, and why doesn't "regulating your nervous system" fix it? Nervous system expert Masha Kay returns to break down what the internet gets wrong about nervous system regulation, why regulation has become the new perfectionism, and what capacity really means in dating and relationships. We talk about why someone can love you and still not meet your needs, how to handle being triggered by a text, why "if he wanted to, he would" is bad advice, and what's actually going on when an avoidant partner shuts down. Masha explains somatic experiencing and titration in plain terms, how to stop ruminating and overthinking, and why building stability in your whole life matters more than any quick trick for calming anxiety. If you're dealing with anxious attachment, a painful breakup, emotional triggers, or healing from childhood patterns, this episode gives you real tools for healing trauma, feeling safe in your body, and building healthier relationships.

We believe alcohol is required for vacations, unwinding, dealing with stress, celebrating, and socializing. We have built up powerful associations in our brains to reinforce these beliefs through dopamine and repetition. After you get sober, facing life without alcohol can feel impossible. Everything reminds you of alcohol. You start to notice how prevalent it is on TV and in movies. In this episode, I'm explaining how the brain builds associations with alcohol, how that gets worse while we stay in the back and forth, and how we break down these associations after getting sober.  Work with me: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership Sober coaching https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching Weekly email: You'll hear from me every week-ish https://www.soberpowered.com/email Support the show: If you enjoyed this episode please consider buying me a coffee to support all the research and effort that goes into this podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/soberpowered Thank you for supporting this show by supporting my sponsors https://www.soberpowered.com/sponsors Sources are posted on my website Disclaimer: all of the information described in this podcast is my interpretation of the research combined with my opinion.

Curious how bluegrass veterans approach recording live in the studio or manage the balance between virtual instruments and raw performances? Join us as Chris Pandolfi from The Infamous Stringdusters shares insights from decades of balancing tradition and innovation in music.My guest today is Chris Pandolfi, a founding member of The Infamous Stringdusters, known for blending traditional bluegrass with modern production techniques.

In this episode of The Whole Counsel, Dr. John Snyder continues the series on Thomas Charles's pastoral letters, focusing on a letter he wrote to his newlywed wife, Sally. She was still struggling with doubts about her spiritual condition and assurance of salvation. Charles responds with tenderness but also with strengthening words. He urges her not to give her doubts “any quarter,” arguing that prolonged uncertainty can paralyze Christian growth, weaken faith, and hinder a believer's walk with God. He also distinguishes between godly sorrow over sin and doubts about whether one belongs to Christ. A major theme of the episode is the relationship between objective assurance in Christ and the evidence of God's work within us. Charles distinguishes the believer's primary act of faith, looking away from self to Christ, from the “reflexive” work of faith, in which we examine the evidence of God's grace in our own lives.  Sanctification can provide genuine evidence of spiritual life, but it must never become the foundation of our hope. Justification and Christ's finished work remain the foundation. Charles encourages Christians, tempted to despair over their weakness and slow growth, to recognize the work of grace within them while continually looking outside themselves to Christ.   SHOW NOTES

What if you didn't have to reach your breaking point before you were allowed to rest, ask for help, or do something simply because you enjoy it? In this episode, I'm looking at the conditions we often place on rest and support—especially when life already feels uncertain or painful. It's easy to believe we can stop once everything is handled, everyone else is okay, or we finally have answers. But there will almost always be one more thing demanding our attention. I share what I've been learning about making rest and support part of everyday life rather than waiting until exhaustion forces the issue. We'll also explore the mental load of navigating relationship uncertainty, why being capable doesn't mean having unlimited capacity, and how to ask for and receive support without feeling like you have to justify it or immediately repay it. If you've been carrying more than you realize, I invite you to listen and consider what you might be ready to put down. Work with me: Join the Truth Teller Circle. It begins October 13th.

What happens when treatment ends, the scans are clear, and everyone expects you to feel grateful… but you don't feel like yourself anymore? My guest this week is Jondrea Phelps, a breast cancer survivor, author, speaker, coach, and founder of JP Empowerment and Flatties Wear. After her breast cancer diagnosis, mastectomy, treatment, and being told she was cancer-free, Jondrea discovered that the "after" of breast cancer can bring its own grief, fear, anger, identity changes, and uncertainty. We talk about what it means to stop trying to get back to normal, how HypnoBreathwork® helped Jondrea process what she was carrying, and why healing can be about moving forward into a new version of yourself. You don't have to pretend everything is okay just because you made it through.   Meet Jondrea: Jondrea Phelps is a breast cancer survivor, author, speaker, coach, and founder of JP Empowerment and Flatties Wear. After walking through her own breast cancer diagnosis, mastectomy, treatment, and the complicated emotional aftermath of being told she was cancer-free, she discovered that healing doesn't end when the scans are clear. Through JP Empowerment, Jondrea supports women navigating the "after" of breast cancer, the part that doesn't always get talked about. The identity shifts. The grief. The anger. The fear. The disconnection from a body that may look and feel completely different. And the pressure to simply be grateful that you survived. Using HypnoBreathwork®, Jondrea helps women move beyond only talking about their pain and begin to physically release what they've been carrying. Her approach is honest, compassionate, and refreshingly no-bullshit: you are not broken, you don't need to be fixed, and you don't have to pretend everything is okay just because you made it through. She is also the founder of Flatties Wear, an adaptive clothing brand created to help women feel seen, comfortable, and empowered in bodies that have changed after breast cancer. Jondrea's message is simple: Your pain is not the end of your story. It can become a doorway back to yourself and into a life that feels like yours again.   Her book: Sh*t Happens, Breathe Through it: Practical tips for the Challenges Life Throws at You. https://link.amazon/B0jaexEW0 Her Website: http://jpempowerment.biz/ Instagram: @jondrea_Phelps Women to Watch Panel: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woman-youre-becoming-is-waiting-on-one-decision/id1461493937?i=1000784496397   Resources Mentioned: Download for Iphone.

You've Got One Job: Stay Connected to Jesus There are a thousand things competing for your attention every day. Your career. Your marriage. Your kids. Your health. Your finances. Your goals. Your phone. Even your ministry. But according to Jesus, there's one thing you absolutely cannot neglect: Your connection with him. In John 15, Jesus gives one of the simplest and most powerful pictures of the Christian life: "I am the vine; you are the branches." In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores why successful people can be especially vulnerable to spiritual self-reliance, why God sometimes prunes the people he loves, and how someone can look spiritually alive on the outside while slowly drying up inside. And it all comes down to one simple phrase: You've got one job: remain. Are You Plugged In? Rob rents out his former home in Tucson, Arizona. Every so often, a guest sends him a message: "The hot tub isn't working." "The jets won't turn on." "It's not getting hot." "We've pushed every button." Rob usually responds with one question: "Is it plugged in?" A few minutes of silence. Then: "Never mind." Nothing was wrong with the hot tub. Nothing was wrong with the heater. Nothing was wrong with the jets. It simply wasn't connected to its source of power. And that can describe our spiritual lives. We push buttons. We try harder. Work more. Make more money. Improve our marriages. Fix our kids. Grow our ministries. Accomplish another goal. But Jesus asks a more fundamental question: Are you connected to me? You can be incredibly busy and spiritually disconnected. You can even be busy doing things for Jesus while becoming disconnected from Jesus. 1. Let the Gardener Prune You Jesus says: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener." — John 15:1 Then he says something surprising: Every branch that bears fruit, God prunes so that it can become even more fruitful. God prunes fruitful people. We sometimes assume that if we're following God, everything should start going our way. Jesus says otherwise. Sometimes following God means getting cut. A door closes. A relationship doesn't work out. Something you desperately wanted doesn't happen. God's Word exposes pride, selfishness, greed, impurity or your need for control. But there's a huge difference between destruction and pruning. Destruction has no future in mind. Pruning is all about the future. Instead of immediately asking, "What's gone wrong?" try asking: "God, what are you trying to cut out of me?" And: "What are you trying to grow in me?" Don't waste your pruning. Let the Gardener work. 2. You've Got One Job: Remain This is the heart of John 15. Jesus repeatedly says: Remain. Stay connected. Stay close. Make your home in me. Don't drift away. A branch doesn't wake up thinking: "How am I going to manufacture grapes today?" It doesn't hustle. It doesn't compare itself with the branch next to it. It doesn't create a five-step productivity plan. It remains connected to the vine. Life flows from the vine into the branch. Eventually, fruit appears. Sometimes we make Christianity far more complicated than Jesus did: Try harder. Do more. Be better. Achieve more. Jesus says: Remain in me. Christianity isn't merely believing facts about Jesus. It's Christ living in you and through you. It's dependence. Relationship. Connection. You Can Look Alive While Drying Up Inside Here's the sobering part. When you cut a branch off a tree, it doesn't immediately look dead. For a while, the leaves remain green. Put it beside a connected branch and you may not even see a difference. But something fundamental has already happened. It has been disconnected from its source of life. The same thing can happen spiritually. You can still: Go to church. Sing the songs. Know your Bible. Lead a small group. Preach sermons. Have decades of Christian experience. You can look green on the outside while slowly drying up inside. Jesus isn't asking: "Were you connected to me once?" He's asking: "Are you remaining in me now?" Don't live off your baptism. Don't live off what you did ten years ago. Don't live off last year's faith. Ask: How is my relationship with Jesus today? 3. Connected People Bear Fruit Jesus says: "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." Notice the order. Jesus doesn't say: "Produce enough fruit, then I'll accept you." He says: Remain—and fruit will come. Connection comes before production. Roots come before fruit. What does that fruit look like? Changed character. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Repentance. Real connection produces real change. Obedience. Jesus changes how we handle our marriages, money, time, sexuality, forgiveness, service and gifts. And finally: Spiritual impact. Fruit reproduces. Spiritually fruitful people help other people find Jesus. We share our faith. Love people. Serve. Study the Bible with people. Help people become disciples. Multiply disciples, leaders and churches. And ultimately, the fruit points back to the vine. It isn't: "Look how impressive I am." It's: "Look what God can do." So, Are You Plugged In? Your marriage matters. Your family matters. Your career matters. Your finances matter. Your health matters. Your ministry matters. Your goals matter. But there's one thing you cannot neglect: Your connection with Jesus. So ask yourself: Am I plugged in? Remember the three lessons of John 15: 1. Let the Gardener prune you. 2. You've got one job: remain. 3. Connected people bear fruit. When you're successful—remain. When you're struggling—remain. When God is pruning you—remain. When life gets busy—remain. When you're discouraged—remain. When everything is going wonderfully—remain. The branch has one job. Remain. And Jesus promises: "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." Make this life count.

What if every product came with a digital story, one that followed it from raw materials and manufacturing through use, repair, reuse, and ultimately its next life?In this episode of The Buzz, powered by MFG.inc, Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome Marion Rouzeaud, founder of DiPPa and author of DiPPa: Rethinking the Way We Buy Things with Digital Product Passports, for a timely conversation about digital product passports (DPPs), circularity, and the future of manufacturing.Scott, Marty, and Marion explore why digital product passports have the potential to become far more than another compliance requirement. Marion explains how DPPs can create a living digital record for products, giving manufacturers, consumers, repairers, recyclers, and other stakeholders access to trusted information throughout the product lifecycle.The conversation also examines the growing role of AI and automation in manufacturing, how companies are navigating cost pressures and supply chain complexity, and why collecting customer feedback means little without action. Marion walks through her DEPA framework and explains how organizations can connect product strategy, sustainability, data, and circularity to rethink not only how products are made but what happens to them after they enter the market.Key TakeawaysDigital product passports can go far beyond compliance, creating a living record that provides useful product information throughout the entire lifecycle.AI and automation continue to reshape manufacturing, helping organizations address labor shortages while improving forecasting, logistics, operations, and decision-making.Trusted product data can enable circularity by supporting repair, maintenance, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling.Manufacturers need to think beyond the point of sale, considering during the design process how products can remain valuable and useful for as long as possible.Customer feedback only creates value when companies act on it, making listening and responsiveness essential to building long-term trust.A successful DPP strategy starts with the “why,” connecting customer needs and business priorities to the right data, measurements, and actions.Digital product passports may be driven partly by regulation, but their potential reaches much further.

Paula Goldman has been thinking about the role AI should play in our workplaces long before the current boom. As Salesforce's first Chief Ethical and Humane Use Officer, she has spent years helping one of the world's largest technology companies determine how powerful technologies can be developed and deployed in ways that earn trust and serve people. Her work has included building ethical frameworks, establishing safeguards, engaging employees and stakeholders, and helping make ethical decision-making part of how technology gets built—not something added after the fact. Goldman argues that ethics is not a checklist; it is a mindset and a culture in which people throughout an organization take responsibility for the consequences of what they create. Now, as AI moves rapidly toward autonomous agents capable of taking action, Goldman is focused on a bigger question: How do we make AI work for people rather than simply make people work differently for AI? Her new book, Manage the Machine: How to Harness Human-AI Collaboration at Work, explores that question. Rather than viewing the future as a contest between humans and machines, Goldman envisions a workplace that is “human elevated”—one in which AI takes on more of what machines do well while people contribute more of what makes human judgment valuable. That requires leaders to rethink jobs rather than simply automate existing tasks. It means deciding where AI belongs, where human judgment must remain central, and how employees can develop the skills to work effectively with increasingly capable machines. Goldman has argued that the old idea of keeping a “human in the loop” is no longer sufficient as AI becomes more autonomous. The better model is “human at the helm”: people remain accountable for determining how AI is used, interpreting its output and making consequential decisions. The conversation also explores what happens when technology begins to resemble a colleague, why humans so readily attribute intelligence and agency to machines, and what leaders need to understand about creativity, discernment and common sense that cannot simply be automated. Most importantly, Goldman challenges leaders to look beyond the immediate promise of productivity. If AI is going to transform work, the critical investment is not only in the technology. It is in people—their skills, AI fluency, judgment and ability to know when a machine should be trusted and when it should not. For leaders trying to navigate AI without losing sight of the people who make their organizations work, Goldman offers a compelling argument: the future of work should not be about replacing human beings with machines, but about using AI to elevate what people are uniquely capable of doing. The post Paula Goldman: Why “Human at the Helm” Must Replace “Human in the Loop” appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.

The peculiar thing about attention deficit is that everybody seems to have it these days, whether they've earned it through proper diagnosis or simply absorbed it from an enthusiastic TikTok video filmed in someone's bathroom. What I've learned, from my own escapades, and partly through reading Peter Shankman's excellent book Faster Than Normal, is that whatever your brain does, you need to learn how to drive it. This conversation covers the four rules Shankman uses to turn a supposedly defective brain into rather useful equipment, none of which involve medication or particularly virtuous behaviour.

Fr. Mike continues to describe Nehemiah's process of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem and encountering a variety of challenges in his calling.

Book a call with Cathy and her team to learn more about the Inner Circle: http://join.cathyheller.com/call What if you already know the answer, but the noise in your head keeps drowning it out? In this live conversation, Cathy sits down with speaker and coach Rudi Riekstins to explore the difference between fear, familiar mental patterns, and the quieter internal signals we often call intuition. Rudi shares his idea of the “still point,” a place beneath the mental noise where he believes we can become more aware of what feels expansive and what feels restrictive. Rudi also tells the remarkable story of being told at 18 that he would never find true love, carrying that prediction for years, and eventually deciding he would no longer let someone else's story determine what was possible for him. He shares what happened when he later met the woman he had somehow felt certain was coming into his life. Cathy and Rudi talk about why familiar patterns can be so hard to leave, what it looks like to create space before reacting, and why constantly looking outside yourself for the answer can make it harder to hear what you already know. Cathy closes the conversation with a reminder to make time for the most important meeting of the day: the one where you get quiet enough to listen to yourself, your soul, and God. This episode is for you if you overthink decisions, struggle to trust yourself, or feel like everyone else's opinions have gotten louder than your own inner knowing.

Artificial intelligence can write poetry, generate images, diagnose patterns in enormous datasets, and carry on a remarkably human-sounding conversation. But what is actually happening inside the machine? In the second episode of our series on AI & human flourishing, we trace the history of artificial intelligence from Alan Turing and early rule-based computers through machine learning, Deep Blue, AlphaZero, and the arrival of ChatGPT and other large language models with technology and computer science experts to help us understand what changed along the way. Then we look under the hood of a large language model. What are tokens, vectors, and transformers? How can a machine trained to predict the next word produce such astonishing results? Ultimately posing the question of whether understanding the machinery changes the way we think about what AI is—and what it isn't. Theme song and credits music by Breakmaster Cylinder.

Beat Migs! And we chat about your biggest screw ups at work!

You want to host a retreat.  Great.   But please don't start by finding a gorgeous villa in Costa Rica and putting down a deposit. There is a lot that should happen first.   In this solo episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail breaks down how to get started hosting retreats, based on what she has learned from leading and hosting more than 100 retreats and owning a retreat venue.   And the first step isn't picking a location, creating an itinerary, or designing a logo. It's experiencing retreats yourself.   Shannon walks through seven steps aspiring retreat leaders should take to move from "I want to host a retreat someday" to creating a retreat business that is intentional, profitable, and sustainable.   You'll learn Shannon's 5 P's of retreat planning, why the first three come before Place and Price, how to build confidence before jumping into a multi-day retreat, why SEO and keyword research should happen earlier than most retreat leaders realize, and how to think beyond the retreat itself to create long-term relationships and recurring revenue.   If you're wondering how to start hosting retreats, this is where to begin.   In This Episode You'll Learn Why you should attend a retreat before trying to lead one Why working behind the scenes at a retreat can make you a better retreat leader The first three P's you need to define: Person, Pain/Problem, and Promise How to identify exactly who your retreat is for Why your retreat should solve a specific problem instead of trying to appeal to everyone How to create a clear retreat promise Why keyword research and SEO belong at the beginning of your retreat marketing strategy How to build confidence through workshops and smaller experiences before hosting multi-day retreats How to choose a retreat location that makes sense for your guest How to calculate retreat pricing based on real numbers and profit Legal considerations including contracts, waivers, and insurance Why your business strategy shouldn't end when the retreat does How coaching, masterminds, memberships, and other offers can create sustainable revenue after a retreat The 7 Steps to Start Hosting Retreats   1. Attend a RetreatBefore you lead one, experience one. Attend more than one if you can, but at minimum, attend one as a guest. Pay attention to the experience, not just the itinerary.   What worked?   What didn't?   How did the leader make you feel?   What happened before you arrived and after you left?   2. Work a Retreat Don't let pride get in the way of experience.   Some of the best retreat leaders (hell business leaders) started behind the scenes.   Volunteer. Assist. Check people in. Help with food. Carry bags. Clean up.   See what actually goes into creating a retreat when you're not the person sitting in the workshop.   Wanna work one of our retreats? Start here: https://mindbodycomplete.com/work-exchange-program/   3. Start With the First 3 P's Before all the pretty stuff:   PERSON: Who exactly is this retreat for?  I mean exactly.     PAIN/PROBLEM: What is happening in their life that makes them need this experience?   PROMISE: What will you help them experience, change, discover, or accomplish, and why are YOU the person to help them?  How will they be different after attending your retreat?    If you can't clearly answer those questions, you're not ready to build the retreat yet.   4. Build Your Keyword + SEO Strategy Don't wait until your retreat is finished to ask how you're going to market it.   Research what your PERSON is actually searching for.   Google. ChatGPT. YouTube. Pinterest.   Build your retreat language around the words your potential guests use, not simply the words you like.   5. Build Your Confidence You don't have to start with a five-night international retreat.   Start with a workshop.   Then a half-day experience.   Then a full day.   Then a weekend.   Build your ability to facilitate, manage a group, hold space, troubleshoot, and lead before dramatically increasing the complexity.   6. Add PLACE + PRICE + LEGAL Once the first three P's are clear and while you're building confidence, start working on the other two.   PLACE: Where should this retreat happen based on your guest, your promise, accessibility, experience, and budget?   PRICE: What does this retreat ACTUALLY cost, and what do you need to charge to make a real profit?   Not revenue.  Profit.   This is also when contracts, waivers, insurance, cancellation policies, vendor agreements, and other legal and risk considerations become critical.   7. Build the Post-Retreat Plan Before the Retreat Your retreat shouldn't be the end of the relationship.   Ask: What happens next? Could guests move into coaching? A mastermind? A membership? Another retreat? An ongoing community?   A retreat can create transformation and revenue today while also becoming the beginning of a much longer customer relationship.   Key Takeaways   Don't Start With Place This is one of the biggest mistakes new retreat leaders make.   They fall in love with a location and then try to build a retreat around it.   Start with the person.   Your Retreat Needs a Problem and a Promise "Come relax with us" isn't enough.   Why does your person need this retreat, and what are you promising to help them move toward?   Marketing Starts Before Your Landing Page Keyword strategy isn't something you add after you've built your retreat. What people are searching for can help shape your positioning, messaging, content, and offer from the beginning.   You Don't Have to Start Big Confidence comes from experience.   There is nothing wrong with leading 12 people through an incredible three-hour workshop before asking 20 people to fly across the world with you.   Revenue Isn't Profit A $50,000 retreat that costs $48,000 to produce isn't a $50,000 success story.   Know your numbers.   Think Beyond Checkout A profitable retreat business isn't necessarily built by hosting more and more retreats.   The retreat can become the entry point into a much larger business ecosystem.     The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our Mastermind in Austin!

Step 4: Build a Marketing Strategy (00:10:56) Develop a keyword and SEO strategy based on your pre-work to create content for your landing page, social media, and blogs. Step 5: Build Your Confidence (00:15:23) Start with smaller events like workshops or day retreats to build confidence in your execution, pricing, and ability to sell out. Step 6: Place, Price, and Legal (00:20:13) Choose a location you're comfortable with, price for profit, and ensure you have legal essentials like waivers, contracts, and insurance. Step 7: Create a Post-Retreat Plan (00:22:51) Develop a plan to nurture your relationship with guests after the retreat, including follow-up offers and creating an alumni community.

What is a near-death experience, or NDE, really like? Jonah Van Valen joins Kara Goodwin on Soul Elevation to discuss his personal encounter and the long-term process of integration. After surviving a profound event that completely changes how you see reality, the challenge lies in how to bring those insights back into everyday life. This conversation focuses on the practical reality of adjusting to the world after an expanded state of consciousness. Jonah shares the specific, often lengthy journey required to ground these experiences and make sense of them in a modern context. Beyond just the event itself, we discuss instances of expanded communication and how these moments shape our perception of reality. Whether you are navigating your own spiritual milestones or curious about the mechanics of consciousness, this episode offers a grounded perspective on the integration process. It is a look at how to maintain clarity and purpose after the extraordinary becomes your new normal.

Today I break down why a planning day only works when business planning becomes an ongoing process that starts before the meeting and continues long after it ends. I share how to use vision, reflection, focused priorities, and real accountability so a leadership team leaves with clarity and then actually executes.Key topics discussed in this episode:• Treating business planning as a process rather than a one-day event• Doing deep preparation beyond an agenda to design the right conversations• Reconnecting to vision as an inspiration and alignment tool• Reflecting on results to uncover the real “why” behind progress and shortfalls• Identifying limiting beliefs that shape behavior and reframing them with better questionsFollow Elite Achievement for more conversations on leadership and high-level execution.

I share how to use vision, reflection, focused priorities, and real accountability so a leadership team leaves with clarity and then actually executes.Key topics discussed in this episode:• Treating business planning as a process rather than a one-day event• Doing deep preparation beyond an agenda to design the right conversations• Reconnecting to vision as an inspiration and alignment tool• Reflecting on results to uncover the real “why” behind progress and shortfalls• Identifying limiting beliefs that shape behavior and reframing them with better questionsFollow Elite Achievement for more conversations on leadership and high-level execution.

Your home is your first space. Work is your second space. A third space is a place where you can gather with other people in your community, meet people and make connections. But many of these spaces have disappeared, particularly in small towns. On this episode, rural sociologist Dave Peters shares how gas stations have become a social hub for small towns. Library director Mary Kathryn Gepner talks about the local library enduring as a third space. Jennifer Drinkwater talks about her work uplifting third spaces in Iowa's small towns and how they inspire her art. Finally, Tiara Phillips has been bringing people in the Iowa City area together with "stuff swaps," book clubs and bingo nights through her Instagram page, Bitchin' Events.

Back to the basics: what macros actually are, how to count them, and how to fine-tune them for your bio-individual needs. Most people can recite wellness rules - hit your macros, eat the rainbow, cut carbs, eat more protein - and still cannot tell you what a macronutrient is, how it differs from a micronutrient, or how to sort a bag of groceries by protein, fat, and carbohydrate. This Body Wisdom Podcast episode with Jamie Belz, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Health Coach with the Nutritional Therapy Association, rebuilds the language of food from the ground up. Jamie walks through nutrients vs. macronutrients vs. micronutrients, then breaks down the three macros in usable terms: Protein and amino acids, complete vs. incomplete proteins, digestion, absorption, and why a gram on a label is not the same as what your body can use Dietary fat, fatty acids, cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, satiety, and why flax ALA is not the same as EPA and DHA from seafood Carbohydrates as sugars, starches, and fiber, gluconeogenesis, carefully selected whole-food carbs, resistant starch, and why carbs are not the enemy You will also get a practical method for tracking macros without turning food into a lifelong spreadsheet: how to use Cronometer for a 5–7 day baseline, what 4 / 4 / 9 calories per gram actually means, a 40/30/30 starting frame versus average American intake, and how to adjust protein, fat, or carbs from your body's feedback — hunger, energy, sleep, digestion, recovery — instead of the latest diet trend. This is a Foundations episode for anyone lost in carnivore vs. vegan arguments, protein powder debates, and influencer buzzwords who still wants to be the steward of their own health. Future Body Wisdom Basics episodes will build on this with micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients, zoonutrients, and bioavailability. If you have been nodding along in nutrition conversations, start here. In this episode: What "nutrient," "macronutrient," and "micronutrient" actually mean Protein, amino acids, and complete proteins from real food Fats, fatty acids, omega-3s (ALA, EPA, DHA), cholesterol, and real vs. industrial fats Carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, starches, blood sugar, and whole-food carb selection Why hydration can mimic "I need to change my macros" symptoms How to establish a baseline, track food intake, and make small adjustments using hunger, energy, digestion, sleep, and workout recovery as feedback. Why eating enough deserves attention before chasing a different macro split. Whether macro tracking is brand new or already part of a daily routine, this episode offers a clearer understanding of what those numbers represent and how to use them thoughtfully in your bio-individual pursuit of health. The foundations of health deserve attention before the expensive gizmos, gadgets, lotions, potions, and biohacks. Understanding food is one of those foundations. Every body is a case study of ONE, and better nutrition knowledge makes it easier to become an informed steward of your own health.  SUBSCRIBE! Leave a review. Write comments.

In episode 272, Coffey talks with Amie Fox about inclusive recruitment as a skills-first strategy — and why getting disability inclusion right across the hiring lifecycle unlocks better outcomes for all types of diverse talent. – HRSOUTHWEST October 11-13, 2026 – Good Morning, HR listeners can use the promo code 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 to save $100 on an HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They discuss inclusive recruitment defined as removing intentional and unintentional barriers so the best-skilled candidate can move through the process without obstruction; honest, specific job descriptions that reflect actual role requirements rather than aspirational proxies and that allow unqualified candidates to self-select out; disability as the inclusion starting point — with the disability community twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled peers despite being frequently over-educated; the average $300 cost of a reasonable accommodation in the US and available government funding through state and county workforce boards to offset it; skills-based hiring as the most equitable screening approach because it focuses on demonstrable job-relevant competencies rather than credential proxies; AI and assistive technology as equalizers for candidates and employees with disabilities, enabling participation and independence in ways previously unavailable; designing the application process intentionally — including accessibility of job postings, assessments, and office environments — to remove barriers before the interview stage; how to handle disability disclosure in interviews, ask practical accessibility questions, and kick the elephant out of the room without legal risk; the medical model versus social model of disability and why moving past fear of offense is the key to unlocking genuine inclusion conversations; and onboarding as the most critical retention tool — including pre-start communication, 90-day planning, accommodations setup before day one, and maintaining connection so new hires know where the bathroom is. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

She moved into this work after a portfolio career across communications, training, fundraising, corporate responsibility, and operations exposed her to how differently people experience workplaces. A key turning point was struggling to find early employment as a visually impaired woman, which shaped her understanding of hidden barriers, workplace design, and the importance of systems that help people perform at their best. Her credibility is grounded in recent and current roles: she set up A Fox Consulting, serves as a non-executive director at Vision Ireland, and has held senior CSR and operations roles at organisations including SCOPE Eyecare & Healthcare. Through her consulting, communications, fundraising, and inclusion work, she has contributed to projects with organisations such as McDonald's, Telefonica, Deloitte, Novartis, Abbott, Newstalk, and John Sisk & Sons. Amie's work is built around the employee life cycle as the foundation for better people performance. She supports leaders and managers through coaching, training, and mentoring designed to maximise employee engagement and performance across each stage of that life cycle. Her book Mind the Blind Spot: Decision to Done and her FoxBuzz framework are practical manifestations of her central thesis: when people feel good, they perform at their best — but that idea only becomes useful when translated into clear routines, structures, and systems that work in boardrooms and in daily operations. Amie can be reached at:Website: www.afox.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amie-fox-a3420333/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consultingafox/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AFoxConsulting ABOUT MIKE COFFEY Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher.

In this episode of FP&A Unlocked, host Paul Barnhurst and co-host Glenn Snyder sit down with Valerie Martin to discuss how AI is changing FP&A, leadership, and business partnering. They explore why greater efficiency does not automatically create greater value and how finance teams can use AI without losing judgment, context, or trust with the business.Valerie Martin is a Finance Executive specializing in FP&A and strategic finance, with experience across GTM, SaaS, AI, and value creation. A former Autodesk finance leader and San Francisco FP&A Board Ambassador, Valerie brings extensive experience in business partnering, finance transformation, and helping organizations make better strategic decisions.Expect to Learn:Why AI efficiency does not always create more value.How AI is changing the skills FP&A teams need.Why judgment and business context still matter.How leaders should rethink training and development.Why communication and trust remain critical in FP&A.Here are a few relevant quotes from the episode:“AI could help us get the answer faster, but you can't outsource accountability.” - Valerie Martin“The measurement is about the value, not the production.” - Glenn SnyderValerie explains that AI can automate variance analysis, reporting, data cleanup, and other repetitive work, but faster production is only useful if teams turn that saved time into greater business value. As AI takes on more technical work, FP&A professionals need to strengthen their judgment, curiosity, business acumen, and communication skills.Follow Valerie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-martin-342878/Email: valsoniamartin@gmail.comFollow Glenn:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/glenntsnyderDisclosure: Portions of this episode (such as the introduction or promotional segments) use AI-generated voice narration produced under human editorial review.Explore Lineos Reporting Intelligence:Ready to transform financial reporting?
