In a world overflowing with business content and quick-fix success formulas, authentic dialogue about what gives life meaning can feel rare. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a conversation with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author of “The Culture Code” and the new book “Flourish.” We unpack why thriving individually and collectively goes far beyond achievements. Their dialogue serves as a blueprint for building a life and community that feels connected, alive, and meaningful. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Beyond the Mountain: What Happens After Success? For many, life is a climb toward results: career milestones, fame, or financial rewards. Both Lochhead and Coyle share how, after reaching some form of the summit, people often ask “What's this all for?” The answer, according to years of research on happiness and human development, isn't another achievement. Instead, life satisfaction comes from meaningful relationships. Despite this, Western culture pushes us to optimize, perform, and automate, treating life and business as machines instead of thriving ecosystems. To flourish means to recognize life as something to be tended like a garden, not a hill to conquer.   The Paradox of Results and Meaning High performers often value discipline, drive, and outcome; the thrill of legendary results. Coyle acknowledges the paradox: results are important, but without serving something higher, they feel empty. Achieving big goals can even hollow out life if not connected to deeper values or service beyond oneself. True flourishing involves aligning your pursuits with something greater and knowing what you want to exist in the world even if you're not there. As Coyle puts it, life's best moments often come when “you kind of vanish” into connection, contribution, or flow: whether with people, ideas, or experiences.   Cultivating Flourishing in Daily Life If flourishing is rooted in shared, joyful, and meaningful growth, how can we cultivate it amid daily pressures? Coyle's advice is to start small and intentionally reflect on where you already feel most resonant, moments when you lose yourself in work, play, or connection. Track these periods and aim to create more of them. Meaningful relationships come from deep questioning and mutual investment, not from perfect routines or solitary habits. Prioritize the “animate” parts of your life: the conversations, surprises, and even the messiness of real relationships, which are hallmarks of flourishing communities and partnerships. Ultimately, flourishing is mutual: you cannot thrive alone, and your aliveness helps those around you come alive too. The message is clear. Achievements matter, but without connection and mutual flourishing, they become hollow victories. Designing a flourishing life is not only possible but necessary for real fulfillment, and it starts with tuning into what gives your days meaning and builds authentic relationships along the way.

Kyle Austin Young was the guest on this episode of Success Profiles Radio. He is an award-winning strategy consultant for high achievers, entrepreneurs, and leader in a wide range of fields. He has refined a powerful system for accomplishing big, meaningful goals that focus on understanding and changing your odds of success. He is the author of the book Success Is A Numbers Game: Achieve Bigger Goals By Changing The Odds. The premise of the book is that you can hack your chances of succeeding at virtually any goal by being someone who SHOULD win instead of someone who CAN win. We talked about how being more prolific dramatically increases your odds of success, why embracing failure should be part of your business model, why the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team's gold medal perhaps wasn't the miracle everyone thought it was, and what to do when we perceive that more talented people stand in the way of us achieving our goals. In addition, we talked about ways we can increase the probability of succeeding at our goals, how to know when quitting is a viable option, and much more.

Nick presents a very special 400th episode in the company of business maestro Ross Tomkins, in which they focus upon the dynamic world of personal and business growth, exploring the intersection of leadership and health.  Ross shares his journey from being a physiotherapist to a successful entrepreneur with a portfolio of 25 companies, stressing the importance of surrounding oneself with a strong team and the challenges of transitioning from hands-on roles to leadership.  They also focus on men's health, where Ross discusses the critical role of testosterone and thyroid hormones in overall well-being, drawing from his personal experiences with low testosterone and the transformative effects of hormone replacement therapy KEY TAKEAWAYS Testosterone and thyroid hormones play crucial roles in men's health, affecting energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. Low levels can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and decreased libido. Before considering hormone replacement therapy, it's essential to explore natural methods to optimise hormone levels, including dietary changes, exercise, and specific supplements like vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. The shift from active physical jobs to sedentary lifestyles, combined with exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, has contributed to declining testosterone levels in men over the years. Building strong, complementary teams is vital for business success. Effective leaders should seek partners with diverse skill sets and the ability to provide constructive feedback, fostering a culture of collaboration and growth. BEST MOMENTS "What I've always been struck by is this overwhelming almost palpable energy which comes from when you're out and about; it just feels like everyone wants to collaborate." "Normal is a really strange word to use in biochemistry... it just moves down. Normal has actually gotten less and less and less over a year." "The greatest leaders that I've ever worked with have been professionally strong... but they had incredible personal development practices."

This week, Thea and Meg sit down for a raw, winding conversation about what it means to enter a new year not with optimization in mind, but with intentionality, margin, and the audacity to savor the actual living.As Cowgirls Over Coffee returns for 2026, Thea Larsen reflects on five years of marination on building, learning, and finally understanding what it means to operate from a place of depth rather than velocity. Joined by her best friend and frequent collaborator Meg, this conversation doesn't traffic in resolutions or productivity hacks. Instead, it examines the quiet revolution that happens when you stop managing your life like a crisis and start treating yourself like a resource worth protecting.What emerges is a candid meditation on the privilege and paradox of getting older: the stability that allows you to close doors, the self-awareness that clarifies what actually matters, and the hard-won wisdom that your twenties are, in fact, overrated. Thea and Meg discuss the shift from operating at the edge of capacity (always redlining it, always seeing how fast you can go) to choosing to drive at 75 instead of 95. Because you've finally figured out that sustainable speed gets you further.Listen In For…Why the arbitrary nature of the New Year doesn't make it meaningless, and how collective energy shifts the game.The brutal honesty of a come back and what it means to rebuild baseline capacity.The evolution from psychological safety concerns to higher-order needs as you stabilize your life.What it means to manage yourself as a resource instead of constantly operating at just above empty.The difference between slower, softer, and deeper.Why efficiency optimization can become its own trap, and what happens when you shift from external factors to internal anchors.The power of iteration in conversation, and why the membership side of Cowgirls Over Coffee has changed everything.What "savoring" looks like when applied to fitness, prayer practice, and life in general.The case for operating with a half-full tank instead of running on fumes in the name of productivity.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 Why this year feels different.05:00 Meg's massage therapist drops wisdom about your twenties being overrated.09:30 Stability, self-awareness, and the gift of caring less.13:45 Fitness, injury recovery, and the cost of falling off baseline.18:20 The shift from optimization to savoring.20:20 Managing energy and priorities from an anchored place.21:00 The gas tank metaphor: operating at half full vs. running on empty.22:00 What it means to go...

In this special client-takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, you'll hear from one of the physician coaches inside The Doctor Coach School™ community. This episode features Dr. Kome Oseghale, a board-certified pediatrician and relationship coach for physician wives, high-achieving women, and immigrant professionals.Dr. Kome vulnerably shares her personal story as an “exhausted immigrant wife” and how the very professional skills that made her successful in medicine were quietly eroding intimacy in her marriage. What began as emotional disconnection, over-functioning, and burnout nearly led to separation—until she discovered a new skillset that transformed her relationship from the inside out.This episode is a powerful reminder that success in your career does not automatically translate to fulfillment at home—and that connection, intimacy, and peace are skills that can be learned.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy many high-achieving physician wives experience emotional disconnection at homeHow professional competence and “hustle culture” can unintentionally damage intimacyThe hidden cost of control, over-functioning, and emotional exhaustion in marriageWhy separation and divorce are not the only paths to relief or connectionHow nervous system regulation impacts communication and conflictThe role of vulnerability, polarity, and emotional safety in restoring intimacyWhy self-care, rest, and valuing yourself are foundational—not selfishHow embracing femininity and releasing control can transform relational dynamicsWhat respect means in masculine vs. feminine communicationAn overview of the Vessel Framework™, created to help physician wives rebuild connection and peace in their marriagesThis conversation is for physicians and high-achieving women who are not in abusive relationships but feel exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed by carrying too much responsibility at home.If it resonates, let it remind you that you're not alone—and that peace, connection, and intimacy are possible without walking away from the life you worked so hard to build.Connect with Dr. Kome OseghaleWebsite: www.thrivingwives.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thriving_wives/Facebook Group: The Thriving Wives ClubLet's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

Considering using mass timber for the first time? IMEG's Robert Norton provides key considerations in this episode of The Future Built Smarter. A senior structural engineer working out of IMEG's San Francisco office, Robert has more than a decade of experience designing with mass timber. He says the material is more than a trend—it transforms how a building is experienced. “Being in a wood building makes you much more comfortable. The wood provides a lot of warmth and it feels homier.”   Mass timber also changes how a building is designed and constructed, he adds. “It becomes part of the architecture.” Unlike steel or concrete buildings, where beams are often hidden behind ceilings, mass timber showcases every structural component. “Everything you do as an engineer is on display. All the connections, all the columns, the beams, the floor systems—they're visible for people to either enjoy or not enjoy, depending on how well of a job you do.” This emphasis on exposure means early collaboration is critical. “We really want to be as integrated as possible with the architect and engineers, so when we do get drawings from the fabricator for the mass timber panels, it's definitely ready to be installed.” Robert's team has also developed specialized connections. “Most of those off-the-shelf connections don't work, so we've done a handful of specialized details that create that really seamless look in the building.”   Thanks to its prefabricated panels, mass timber also speeds up construction,. “The mass timber product is assembled in pieces that come to the site and are dropped in place. You're saving up to 30 percent off your schedule just in the floor system alone.” The material also is highly sustainable, having much less embodied carbon than steel or concrete, he adds. And contrary to widely-held misconceptions, mass timber is fire-retardant. Unlike typical framing lumber, Robert says, “mass timber chars on the outside, forming a protective layer that insulates the core. That allows us to meet one-hour, two-hour, and even higher fire ratings—often without additional fireproofing.”   While upfront costs can be higher with mass timber, early planning can help overcome that, Robert says. “If you have designed for steel or concrete and then ask the team to ‘convert it to mass timber,' you will almost certainly see a 25 percent to 30 percent cost premium. That's the wrong way to approach it. To make mass timber competitive, it needs to be part of the project from day one. Doing that, you're going to find the mass timber prices really drop dramatically.”

In ​this ​day ​and ​age ​when ​​there ​are ​a ​lot ​of ​things ​that ​want ​to ​stifle ​our ​dreams ​and ​stifle ​our ​energy ​and our ​creativity ​about ​what ​it ​is ​that ​we ​can ​build ​or ​do ​or ​how ​we ​can ​exist ​in ​the ​world, we need support with dreaming. In this episode, Monique shares what came up during a recent dream session she led with her clients, and why making space for self-reflection and imaginative play is such a powerful (and necessary) practice. You'll hear her unpack our relationship with dreaming and the ongoing work of becoming, not the version of yourself that gets approval, but the version that feels true. She also offers a gentle but clear shift: instead of chasing external validation, start paying attention to what you actually desire, because those internal cues are often the most honest fuel for your ambition.If your dreams have been feeling distant, smaller, or harder to access lately, this conversation will help you reconnect. Tune in, explore what's calling you forward, and take one small step toward reclaiming your dreams.GEMS DROPPED“​Dreaming ​can ​feel ​really ​tough, ​especially ​for ​women ​who ​are ​positioned ​to ​be ​the ​caretakers ​of ​this ​world ​in ​our ​communities, ​in ​our ​families, ​​in ​our ​offices, everywhere ​we ​go.  ​And ​so we ​get ​wrapped ​up ​in ​what ​everybody ​else ​needs.”“To ​have ​a ​relationship ​to ​the ​dream, ​which ​is ​like ​more ​of ​a ​destination ​positioning, ​as ​opposed ​to ​having ​a ​relationship ​to ​dreaming, ​which ​is ​the ​act ​​of ​creating, ​engaging ​with ​the ​dream. ​I ​think ​the ​line ​of ​delineation ​there ​is ​​one ​points ​to ​where ​am ​I ​supposed ​to ​go ​or ​and ​how ​am ​I ​supposed ​to ​go ​there. ​The ​other ​one ​points ​to ​who ​am ​I ​supposed ​to ​be and ​so ​that's ​the ​question ​​I'll ​pose ​to ​you, ​which is who ​it ​is ​that ​you're ​trying ​to ​be?”“The ​dream ​is ​really ​just ​a ​byproduct ​or ​a ​symptom ​of ​​you ​being ​who ​you ​are ​meant ​to ​be ​​expressed ​as here and ​now, ​right? ​Are ​you ​behaving ​as ​her? ​Are ​you ​existing ​as ​her? ​Are ​you ​at ​the ​energetic ​frequency?

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training How big do you actually want your agency to become? Does the idea of running a massive team sound exciting or completely exhausting? For many agency owners, scaling feels less like growth and more like trading freedom for complexity. Scaling an agency isn't about hustle. It's about surviving the moments that almost break you, building systems that actually work, and accepting that what got you here won't get you there. Today's featured guest understands that running a big agency is about structure and leadership. He's grown a global agency to 700 people without losing profitability, sanity, or culture and now he'll unpack the hard-earned lessons that most agency owners don't think about until it's too late. Nital Shah is the co-founder of Mavlers, a full-service, lifecycle digital agency headquartered in India, with operations supporting global brands and agencies across multiple geographies. Today, Nital leads a 700-person organization focused on marketing operations, delivery excellence, and scalable systems for agencies around the world. Having experienced both sides of the agency equation, client-side pressure and operational scale, Nital brings a grounded, operator-first perspective to growth, profitability, and leadership. In this episode, we'll discuss: An early principle: Profit should be intentional. Achieving operational excellence at scale. Structuring scale to make it manageable. Why alignment beats micromanagement.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. The Wake-Up Call: COVID, Cash Flow, and Retainers Like many agencies, Nital's biggest inflection point came during COVID. Before the disruption, the agency was focused heavily on top-line revenue rather than predictable recurring income. When 40 percent of revenue disappeared almost overnight, the weakness in that model became painfully obvious. Luckily, the agency's consistent focus on profit from day one helped them overcome this ordeal. However, it changed Nital's perspective on retainers and helped him understand that, without retainers, any similar unexpected bump in the road could destroy the agency. The agency had enough cash flow to survive the shock and rebuild and the lesson was clear: at scale, a large team without consistent recurring revenue is fragile. Retainers aren't just about stability; they are about survival. The other advantage that helped soften the blow was diversification. By spreading clients across industries and geographies, the agency avoided being wiped out by a single market downturn. When one region slowed, others carried the load. That balance didn't eliminate pain, but it reduced risk in a way most agencies underestimate until they feel it firsthand. Profit Is Not an Afterthought One of the most important principles Nital and his co-founder agreed on early was: profit must be intentional. It's not something you hope shows up at the end of the year. It's something you design into the business. That mindset shapes everything from service selection to client qualification. The agency actively avoids hyper-competitive, race-to-the-bottom services and continually evolves its offerings as markets become saturated. When a service becomes unprofitable, they pivot. When a client isn't aligned or drains margin, they say no. Profit isn't just about owner income. It funds experimentation, innovation, and future growth. Without margin, you can't test new services, pivot when the market shifts, or invest in better systems. You just stay busy. And busy is often the enemy of profitable. Operational Excellence at Scale Running a 700-person agency isn't about heroics but about process. Nital is clear that consistent, documented, and enforced workflows are what reduce mistakes, rework, and delivery friction. The agency is structured into service-based business units, each with its own leadership and accountability. On top of that sits a customer success layer that ensures delivery stays aligned with expectations. Everyone is trained on defined protocols, and those protocols exist to protect quality, not bureaucracy. When processes are clear and followed, the probability of hitting client outcomes increases. That reduces rework, lowers internal stress, and improves margins. In a people-driven business, operational discipline is what turns chaos into leverage. Alignment Beats Micromanagement One of the hardest challenges for Nital's agency came after rapid post-COVID growth, when the team doubled in size and remote work became the norm. Processes broke, alignment slipped, and as a result, communication suffered. The turning point came with adopting the Scaling Up framework by Vern Harnish. This framework, aimed at businesses ready to scale in a more structured manner, forced clarity across four areas: people, strategy, execution, and cash. More importantly, it created alignment from leadership all the way down to individual contributors. Every team member understands how their work connects to departmental goals, quarterly priorities, and long-term vision. When people understand the why behind the process, ownership replaces micromanagement. Accountability becomes cultural, not enforced. Leadership, Tough Calls, and A-Players When it comes to mistakes in team alignment, Nital openly acknowledges that the team that gets you to one stage may not be the team that gets you to the next. That realization isn't easy, especially when loyalty and shared history are involved. But over the last two years Nital has embraced the fact that growth demands adaptability. The agency now prioritizes agility, learning speed, and ownership. When someone can't evolve with the business, they are given time, feedback, and support, but the standard doesn't change. You don't win championships by protecting weak links. You win by putting the best players on the field while still treating people with respect and empathy. It's not cold. It's responsible leadership. Structuring Scale So It's Manageable When Nital decided to go back to India and start an agency, his mentor back in Australia offered him the chance to run their offshore center. From there, he started supporting other agencies in several countries and expanded his team to where they are now. Seven hundred people sounds overwhelming until you understand the structure. Instead of one massive organization, the agency operates as multiple business units, each capped around 100 to 150 people and run as its own P&L. This turns an impossible leadership problem into a manageable one. Leaders focus on coaching their direct reports, not managing hundreds of individuals. Each layer carries responsibility downward, creating clarity instead of bottlenecks. As Nital points out, no founder manages 700 people directly. You manage your leadership team. And if that team is strong, aligned, and accountable, scale becomes less scary and far more sustainable. The Future: AI, Change, and Opportunity Despite the uncertainty surrounding AI and marketing technology, Nital is optimistic. The pace of change has leveled the playing field. Years of experience no longer guarantee an advantage. Everyone is adapting at the same time. For smaller agencies, this creates opportunity. They can adopt tools and workflows faster than large organizations. For larger agencies, the challenge is moving faster without breaking structure. Either way, the shift toward complex marketing technology orchestration opens doors for agencies willing to master it. For him, the future belongs to agencies that can adapt, systemize, and evolve without clinging to what used to work. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Episode Summary: Space superiority is essential to U.S. national security. Achieving that requires the Department of War to conduct a review of space roles and missions to clarify institutional responsibilities and prioritize cross-domain capability investments. Jennifer Reeves discusses her recommendations from her new policy paper, Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative, with Director of Global Space Operations, Maj. Gen. Anthony J. Mastalir. Bottom line: for decades, space has predominantly focused on terrestrial activities…now, it's time to see how capabilities on earth can support warfighting demands on orbit.

Subscribe to Alli's Substack - Wise Woman Method https://wisewomanmethod.substack.com/  Last week in my Catalyst Mastermind, a disciplined woman showed her color-coded 2026 planner, every goal mapped out. Then she quietly admitted: “I'm doing all the right things, but I still don't feel like the right person.”   Maybe you've felt that too—checking every box, hitting every deadline, but still feeling something's missing. Here's what I told her, and what I want to tell you: The problem isn't your plan. It's thinking you can do your way into a new life, when you actually need to become your way into it   Doing and becoming are not the same. Achieving isn't transforming. We spend years chasing goals but rarely ask: Who am I becoming?Today, we're moving beyond last week's conversation. Not "What am I accomplishing?" Not "What am I fixing?" Instead, who am I becoming—and is she who I want to be?   This is the identity shift that unlocks real transformation in 2026. Let's dive in together—take a moment right now to reflect: Who are you becoming, and what is one action you can take today to align with her?   Timestamps: (01:50) - Why Identity Has to Come First (03:38) - The Real Problem With Traditional Goal-Setting (05:14) - The Daily Practice of Becoming (07:14) - Uncovering Who God Has Created You to Be (08:45) - Three Practical Steps to Becoming   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:  Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Product Recommendation - Spindrift Drinks Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

For those of us who have chosen to walk a spiritual path, we've been called a great number of things. Particularly, crazy. So it can be important to have a translator of sorts to explain to the logically minded skeptics that it's possible to be spiritual without losing your mind. You don't have to abandon your logic to learn how to be spiritual. And you don't have to squeeze yourself into someone else's rituals, beliefs, or vibes to become a spiritual person. My guest this week, Laura Kusto, has done us all a favor and become that bridge to explain that there's another path — one built for strategic minds, skeptical hearts, and people who crave meaning that actually makes sense. Where spirituality isn't performance. It's pattern. It's timing.On this guest episode I have the pleasure of hearing Laura's story and conversation about al the great and rational gifts of astrology, moon phases, and how each supports productivity or planning. Laura explains how spirituality is actually the truth that rises when you finally stop outsourcing your intuition and start aligning with your natural rhythm. She shows us how to become spiritual in a way that feels grounded, intelligent, and completely yours — so your inner world can feel as clear and powerful as the life you've built on the outside. She walks us though the moon phases and how someone with zero astrology knowledge can start syncing their workflow to the moon today. She also shares about her creation, the Moon Map, and how it helps someone understand their natural timing and focus areas.Laura is the Moon Phase Astrologer for Strategic Minds—helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives claim their spiritual rhythm through grounded, repeatable frameworks rooted in lunar cycles. A sought-after speaker and featured Authority Magazine author, she helps analytical minds disenchanted by surface-level, “good vibes only” spirituality reconnect with something deeper. Her mission is to show driven, discerning thinkers that their intellect isn't a spiritual barrier—it's the bridge to alignment, clarity, and belonging. 25-year global corporate strategist and speaker (consulting VP & practice line lead).
