This is one of the foundational, fundamental things you should be doing if you want to build your family into a team that works together. At first it doesn't sound exciting, and, you might actually think you HATE this idea, but trust us, we've been doing this for years and it has made ALL the difference.  For dad, it turns you into a leader. For mom, it stops you from having to be the leader and be the only one who cares about what's going on in the family. For kids, it gives direction, purpose, momentum, and growth. Today we're joined by upcoming Accelerator coaches Jeremy and Kristin Netting to talk about why and how to run family team meetings! --- Free Family Meeting PDF: https://familyteams.com/meetings --- On this episode, we talk about:  0:00 Intro 1:14 Meetings 4:05 Why Meetings? 9:11 5 Types of Meetings 11:10 The Weekly Team Meeting 17:01 How Meetings Affect Moms 22:06 Why Dad Should Embrace Team Meetings 25:05 Meeting Tactics and Encouragement Follow Family Teams:   Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: Free Family Meeting PDF: https://familyteams.com/meetings Family Kickball Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v0vWa3pqCs  ---  Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Read the blog postSince 2012, I've had the opportunity to visit Japan six times, each trip a deep learning experience–rich with lessons about Lean, Kaizen, leadership, culture, and continuous improvement.This June, I'm heading back for my seventh visit–and what makes this one especially exciting is that it will be my fifth trip focused on Lean in healthcare… and the first that I've helped design from the ground up.It's my first trip in this format, but I was invited to partner up with two amazing individuals who have a great deal of experience in organizing and facilitating such tours — Dave Fitzpatrick, a Canadian who has lived and worked in Japan for a long time, and Reiko Kano, who I know as a translator on my earliest trips — and she's highly experienced with Lean and TPS implementations in healthcare in both the U.S. and Japan.And I want to personally invite you to consider joining us. If not from June 23 to 29, in a later trip. We're also planning on the week of October 23, 2025 along with trips in April and October of 2026.

In this episode of the Inner Edison Podcast, host Ed Parcaut sits down with Simon Phillips, a New Zealand-based entrepreneur with a remarkable journey through the highs and lows of building e-commerce brands and agencies. Simon opens up about launching his first successful brand at 19, scaling it to seven figures, and then losing it all—only to bounce back with a new agency and, ultimately, a powerful accelerator program for e-commerce businesses. Through candid discussions, Simon shares hard-earned insights on what it really takes to build, lose, and rebuild both business and self-belief. The conversation covers the pitfalls of working with agencies, the shift to training internal teams, the power of niching down for business growth, and the crucial balance between personal development and professional success. You'll also hear their thoughts on leveraging AI, building community, and why focusing on your core customer is more important than ever. Whether you're an entrepreneur, marketer, or anyone seeking inspiration through adversity, Simon's story and Ed's wisdom will leave you with valuable takeaways on resilience, reinvention, and the importance of both inner and outer work in business. Learn more about Simon Phillips at E-commerce Accelerator. Tune in, get inspired, and discover why your greatest confidence often comes from your greatest defeats.  **Contact Ed Parcaut:** -

My guest for Episode #527 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Dave Fitzpatrick, co-founder of Zenkai Improvement Partners and a 30-year resident of Japan. Dave brings a unique perspective as a Canadian Lean practitioner who has worked extensively in both manufacturing and healthcare, guiding international leaders on immersive study experiences throughout Japan. Episode page with video, transcript, and more In this episode, Dave and I share details about a new collaboration we're leading together--the Lean Healthcare Accelerator Experience. This is a jointly developed series of immersive visits to high-performing organizations in Japan, designed specifically for healthcare executives who want to see Lean principles in action across both hospitals and manufacturing settings. We talk about why we're creating this experience, what makes it unique, and how cultural context, leadership behaviors, and intentional long-term commitments drive sustainable improvement--not because it's "just Japan," but because of the systems and mindsets these organizations have cultivated. Dave shares his personal Lean journey, including how he transitioned from working in aeronautics to leading study tours for visiting professionals. He reflects on the differences between Japanese and Western companies when it comes to employee engagement, psychological safety, and respect for people. We also preview the first Accelerator trip taking place in June 2025 and discuss what makes these experiences so valuable and transformational for participants. Whether you're in healthcare or another industry, this conversation is packed with insights about creating a culture of continuous improvement--and how a visit to Japan can accelerate your learning. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: Can you share your origin story--how did you first get involved with Lean, Kaizen, or the Toyota Production System? What initially stood out to you when you began visiting Japanese manufacturing and healthcare organizations? From your experience, what cultural factors give Japanese organizations an advantage--or do they? How do successful Japanese companies build deep employee engagement and commitment to improvement? What lessons can visitors take home from Japan--and why is it not just about being "Japanese"? What are some common misconceptions people have before visiting Japan on these study experiences? How does hierarchy or seniority in Japanese companies affect psychological safety and speaking up? What kinds of organizations will we be visiting during the Lean Healthcare Accelerator? What role will Reiko Kano play in these visits, and how does her expertise go beyond translation? What's the value of including manufacturing visits in a healthcare-focused learning experience? How do Japanese companies view improvement work in relation to headcount and job security? Why is respect for people and time such a noticeable theme in Japanese customer service and operations? What do you hope participants in the Lean Healthcare Accelerator take away from this experience? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino talks with Chris Silvestri, founder and chief conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy. Chris brings a rare blend of backgrounds—software engineer, UX designer, and conversion copywriter—to tackle one of the toughest challenges in B2B: turning complex decision-making into clear, effective messaging. We dig into his AI-powered empathy framework, PATH, and explore how he uses customer research, simulated personas, and real language to help teams write content that connects. For anyone working in UX, product, or content, this is a masterclass in aligning messaging with how humans actually think, feel, and decide.Key TakeawaysEmpathy can be “engineered” – Chris shares his AI-powered PATH framework (Prepare, Articulate, Test, Harmonize) to simulate customer personas and deepen user empathy.Conversion is a series of micro-decisions – It's not just about a final click—every piece of copy should guide users through their decision-making process one step at a time.Vague messaging creates drop-off – If users can't understand what you do, who it's for, or why it's different in a few seconds, they'll bounce.Expectation-setting is everything – From homepage copy to “Book a Demo” CTAs, clear expectations can dramatically reduce friction and build trust.AI won't replace writers—it augments them – Used correctly, LLMs can simulate customers, test ideas, and accelerate iteration—if humans remain in the loop.UX, sales, and copy need a shared foundation – Chris's work helps unify these functions by anchoring messaging in customer research and decision psychology.Chapters00:00 – From Engineering to Empathy03:47 – Lessons from Dangerous Machines06:02 – The Pyramid of Conversion10:56 – Jobs to Be Done in B2B13:47 – Selling to the Whole Buying Team17:45 – Common Copy Mistakes25:45 – AI and Empathy: The PATH Framework31:00 – How Chris Uses AI Personas for Better Copy33:51 – AI as an Accelerator, Not a Replacement34:00 – From Copywriter to Conversion ArchitectResources & LinksConversion Alchemy Website, Newsletter, & PodcastConnect with Christopher Silvestri Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation and the media. I'm your host Eric Schurenberg, long time journalist and media executive, now the founder of the Alliance for Trust in MediaThe news business has been in freefall, as every listener to In Reality is aware. The plunge has been steepest in local journalism. We lose two local news outlets a week, on average. Half the counties in America have only one news outlet or none at all. Dousing that five alarm fire is the mission of today's guest, Mackenzie Warren, director of the Local News Accelerator at Northwestern University's Medill School, hands down one of the premier journalism schools in the country. Mackenzie is a long-time local newspaper executive himself; at Medill, he now helps local newsrooms in Illinois discover innovations aimed at putting themselves on a path to sustainability. Mackenzie joined Eric recently at his class on the future of media at the University of Chicago. They discussed the role of local news in counteracting polarization, the incoming class of new journalists and how they view their careers, as well as a few bright stars in the local news firmament, like the Minnesota Star Tribune, Chicago's hyper-local Block Club and Atlanta Journal Constitution.Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmProduced by Tom Platts at Sound Sapiensoundsapien.comAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.com

Episode 254. From Crisis to Chaos: Is the Housing System Beyond Repair? In this episode, I confront the accelerating dysfunction in Ireland's housing system. I explore why the traditional narrative that paints landlords as villains is flawed and how the exodus of landlords is shrinking rental supply, driving rents to unsustainable levels. I dive into the unintended economic consequences of this landlord exodus and the knock-on effects it has on recruitment, foreign investment, and job growth. The episode also tackles the failed appointment of a “housing czar” and the political gridlock stalling progress, as well as the economic warning from Ireland's Central Bank governor. I question whether we're truly facing a crisis—or has it now become chaos? *** Curious about my Accelerator

PorterShed officially launches the AI Venture Forge Accelerator, a rigorous 12-week programme designed to bring Ireland's AI-first startups and corporate innovation teams towards real commercial traction and investor readiness. Adapted from the globally proven Disciplined Entrepreneurship model, AI Venture Forge is geared towards startups and innovation teams where AI is not simply an add-on, but the beating heart of the product. In a market increasingly saturated with superficial AI applications, this programme sets a higher bar, backing companies that are building transformative technologies rather than riding the latest hype wave. Speaking on the launch, Mary Rodgers, CEO of PorterShed, said: "The noise around AI is deafening, however, very few companies are truly innovating at a deep technical level. AI Venture Forge is about cutting through the noise and backing teams with the technical ability and vision to redefine industries." Delivered both onsite in Galway City and virtually by the experienced PorterShed Programmes team and led by Programme Manager Dushyant Singh, AI Venture Forge is designed with an international focus from the outset. During the programme, participating teams will travel to either London or Paris - two cities currently vying for the title of Europe's AI Capital - to deepen market understanding, build networks, and develop a "born global" mindset. Following the programme, during the three-month post-programme off-ramp phase, companies will travel to San Francisco to focus on fundraising, sales pipeline building, and US expansion. The launch of the AI Venture Forge follows PorterShed's year-long strategic investment into AI innovation capacity-building in the West of Ireland. Beginning with the GenAI Hackathon in June 2024, through to its regional partnership role in the National AI Challenge (led by TechIreland) and the introduction of an AI stream in the NDRC Founder Weekend in September, PorterShed has spent the past year foregrounding AI innovation not as a tech trend, but as a driver of Ireland's future economic competitiveness. Reflecting on the learnings from this foundational work, Programme Manager Dushyant Singh commented: "We saw a clear distinction between teams using AI for real product innovation and those applying AI superficially. The Programme is designed to work with technical teams building infrastructure and applications that will define industries in five years' time, not just bolt-on features. This programme will be supported by AI experts and founders, who will be on site to give mentorship, feedback and provide supports". The search for participants will be nationwide, assisting with the 'talent search' and programme will be the RDI Hub in Kerry, Republic of Work in Cork and Dogpatch Labs in Dublin. Applications to the AI Venture Forge are now open. Successful applicants will receive six months' membership at PorterShed and direct access to a network of industry experts, investors, and peers driving the future of AI-first innovation.

These days, people's attention spans are short. They prefer to watch quick videos rather than long ones from someone they don't know well. That is why short videos work - they respect your time and engage your emotions from the start. But "short" doesn't always mean "best." The video has to be long enough to explain what you need to know and make you want the product. Otherwise, you'll click away.Put yourself in your audience's shoes when they watch your sales video. What do you expect to see? Naturally, you want something concise and straightforward that communicates the content. Once you connect with the message and know what to expect, you will engage more and convert as soon as possible.In another Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers questions from one of the Accelerator members about focusing on emotions to convert the audience. One way to do that is to trim 40-minute video sales letter scripts to 10 minutes to grab them by the gut, not the brain, and talk to their frustrations. Balazs does not want you to sugarcoat it. Speak to their hidden hopes. Show them what is truly at stake if they do nothing. You need to be the one who wakes them up to that harsh truth. The best-case scenario is when they listen and act. What could their life look like? Real freedom? Real happiness? Real results? Then, hit them with the flip side and the brutal reality of staying exactly where they are. Your main goal right now is to get them emotionally invested. Once you connect with their hearts, their minds will follow. That is when conversion happens. They stop being leads and start becoming your people. "Do what's hard now, the rest of your life will be easy. Do what's easy now, the rest of your life will be hard. That's quite literally the truth." - Balazs W KardosCatch this episode to learn the simple steps to create content that taps into your leads' emotions and turns them into loyal customers.

Global technology leaders Coinbase, Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands and Founders Factory have announced the launch of a multi-million pound accelerator in the UK, set to transform the UK's blockchain and AI ecosystem. This partnership aims to unlock product market fit and growth for the next generation of disruptors and to drive investment in technology startups as a key engine of the UK economy. As institutions and jurisdictions around the world accelerate their adoption of AI, blockchain technology and digital assets, the UK stands uniquely positioned to compete in the global race for innovation. As Keith Grose, UK CEO, Coinbase asserts: "With deep reservoirs of talent, capital, sophisticated regulators and leading academic institutions, the UK is well positioned to benefit from these opportunities. However, ensuring that these products and services are born out of the UK is vital. For too long, access to capital, mentorship and resources has held back this ambition. This significant investment changes that." Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: "This announcement is a strong vote of confidence in the UK's tech sector - underlining our position as a global leader in innovation. Not only will it ensure that the UK remains a key leader in blockchain technology but will also unlock growth as we deliver on the Plan for Change. Our modern Industrial Strategy has highlighted financial and professional services as key growth sectors for the UK to thrive in, showing that we are listening and responding to the needs of Fintech businesses - whether that's on access to talent, finance, or the wider regulatory environment." Founders Factory, one of the leading start-up accelerators globally, will deliver world class business and growth training, with hands-on support across business strategy, go to market, product development and fundraising. Alongside them, Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands and Coinbase will deliver support on tokenomics, community go-to-market strategies, and best practices for scaling businesses in the blockchain & AI space. Robby Yung, the CEO of Investments at Animoca Brands stated: "It is critical that the UK takes advantage of the opportunity of the fast-growing Web3 industry, not just as a hub for investment but as a place where innovation is built, owned, and scaled. The UK must be a creator, not just a consumer, of this innovation. The real opportunity lies in developing it here, building intellectual property that leverages the world-class talent base and ecosystem in the UK." The Labour Government's vision for growth is deeply tied to the success of one of the UK's fastest-growing sectors: technology. This initiative is a step change in making that vision a reality - supporting a diverse group of founders across blockchain-based payments, entertainment, AI, and other cutting-edge industries. Commenting on this, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Fabric Ventures, Richard Muirhead said: "This Government's AI Action Plan has been met with widespread optimism. However, this is only one piece of the puzzle. The convergence of AI, blockchain and Web3 plays to the UKs strengths in these disciplines - and fostering collaboration amongst our strong industries like financial services, advertising and pharmaceuticals is essential for the UK to maintain its leadership in the global digital race. This accelerator will play a key role in driving that progress." Damian Routley, COO at Founders Factory, said: "This is about leveling up the UK's ability to build and scale frontier technology. Founders in blockchain and AI need more than capital - they need hands-on, specialised support to unlock product-market fit and go global. That's what this accelerator delivers. By combining deeptech expertise with the power of a world-class network, we're creating a launchpad for the next generation of breakthrough UK startups." See more stories here.

It's the final week of Back to Basics month here on The Business of Executive Coaching—and we're finishing strong with one of the most important (and often overlooked) foundations of your coaching business: your Sales Pipeline. This series has been all about those core pieces that help your business run smoothly—your ideal clients, your offers, your coaching bio, and now, your sales pipeline. Whether you're just starting out or you've been coaching for a while and feel like some things just aren't clicking, this episode will help you shore up a really important part of your business growth strategy. Now, to be clear, while building your sales pipeline is a foundational part of your business—but definitely not basic, as in simple. It's more like eating your vegetables. Not always intuitive, especially for coaches who aren't naturally drawn to business development, but absolutely essential. Here's what I cover: What a sales pipeline is, and why you should definitely have one. How your pipeline helps you work with data rather than feelings. The role of a pipeline in making sure opportunities don't fall through the cracks. Why it keeps you honest about what levels of activity are actually required to meet your revenue goals. How it helps you step out of negativity bias and be more strategic with your actions. I also share a method I teach for stepping backwards from your revenue target and building a granular view of your offers, pricing, outreach, and conversions—so you can be strategic about what's working and what's not. Inside the Corporate to Coach Accelerator, we go much deeper into how to build and track your sales pipeline, including what tools to use and what to track. If you'd like my support, or if you'd like to check whether the Accelerator is the right fit for you, I'd love to offer a no-commitment one-on-one coaching call. And if you book that call during April and decide to join, you'll get a special offer just for podcast listeners: 13 months of membership for the price of 12.

You'll learn how to reframe selling as an invitation into transformation, and gain practical tips for pricing your work, increasing your confidence, and embracing a new narrative where you're in the driver's seat of your artistic and financial journey.

Attracting attention to what you offer is a first step, but it doesn't guarantee that leads will make a purchase. Occasionally, people may show interest without buying anything. What's worse is relying on another person's presentation without understanding how it resonates with them.So, what should you do? Take the format, the template, and the slides. Memorize them. Create your presentation in your style and record the web class, even if it's your first time or if you are unsure it will work. But don't just launch it and hope for the best. You need to test it strategically.Use software that shows you where people stop watching your video. If most viewers drop off after six minutes, watch that part of your web class. What are you saying? Is it boring? Is it confusing? Make it better. Test it again. See where they drop off next. Repeat this process – five, maybe even ten times. It might feel tedious, but this is how you refine your message and connect.In another episode of Diamond Life Mentor Uncut, Balazs W Kardos shares a clip from his Accelerator call about breaking through the lead generation plateau by conducting web classes, pre-qualifying leads, and tracking results.Balazs emphasizes not to overthink and aim for perfection. Even if just one of those forty daily leads fills out your application after watching your web class, that's thirty high-quality applications a month. And if you close just ten percent of those, that's three or four direct sales. That's the breakthrough you've been waiting for. "If you can somehow get feedback from people, incentivize people to tell you why it's not for them, and give you a little bit more detail, then all of that feedback you can work into your next version of your web class feedback is gold." - Balazs W KardosDo not miss this episode to connect with your audience and turn those leads into sales by using a template, sharing your story, and getting feedback as you launch your web class. Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:Why should you start recording your web class to give value to your leads?How can you implement an application process to prequalify leads?What metrics should you track to measure the success of the web class?Why should you get feedback at the end of each presentation?How can you ensure that web classes meet your target audience's needs?Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

Having a regular job while starting a business can be beneficial. Although it may feel like you're juggling two different paths, having a steady income during your business launch is valuable.Since you may not make sales immediately, maintaining a job enables you to cover your bills and buy essential items while you focus on generating leads and growing your business.Second, you learn a lot of things at a job. You engage with people, manage projects, or handle money. These skills are super relevant in a high-ticket network marketing business.But, it only serves as a bridge towards a bigger goal. Soon, you'll have to leave the rat race, but before you do that, have a clear plan for how long you should work double to create a buffer to invest more and go full-time business owner/CEO.In another Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers lead generation and entrepreneurial mindset shift questions with Accelerator members. He advises that the first step in qualifying leads is fixing your sales funnel and revamping your application process."Are you ready to invest $5,000 to $10,000?" Yes or no. "Which best describes you? Financially ready? Finding financing? Not ready?" If they pick "not ready," Balazs wants you to disqualify them to save time and frustration.Next, because you're not ready to quit your job yet, Balazs encourages you to shift your mindset and continue creating content that shows your wins and struggles. Do not be afraid to show people where you are and what you want your future to look like. Your honesty is priceless. You don't have to pretend you're making millions. There is no need to fake success. Just be transparent and show your leads the plan.These next two to three years? They're your golden opportunity. You're relatable. You're real. And that's when more people will want to partner with you as the CEO of your lifestyle business. "It doesn't matter how much time you're putting in. What matters is how you're showing up with your identity, and you are using your job to invest into your future, into your business, where you're going next." - Balazs W KardosCatch this episode to use your job to your advantage, shift your mindset to see the opportunities for skill development, networking, and strategic planning, and become a full-time CEO living your dream lifestyle.

We have a very exciting guest with us in the diner this week, the one and only Hailey Lujan! (Or just Lujan for short). She's a United States Army soldier living a double life as an influencer and one of the internet's most unique personalities. You may have seen her military content online where she films her Military Simulations, living in an abandoned Nuclear Facility, her specialized training routines, and so much more. But for this hour, she's in the diner talking to us about her life, her role in the army, maybe finding love, AND... helping us save the world.Check out Lujan on insta and YouTube!SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT!BUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH!Keep up with us!Zach | Jared | Alyssa | SkylerDM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!or Email us!dropoutsadvice@gmail.com
