The City Bar's Presidential Task Force on AI and Digital Technologies hosts today's podcast on President Trump's:  Winning the Race, America's AI Action Plan. Task Force co-chair Jerome Walker is joined by task force members Matthew Bacal (Davis Polk), Azish Filabi (American College of Financial Services), Robert Mahari (Stanford Codex), and Evan Abrams (Steptoe), to review the plan's three pillars and key action steps. Pillar One (“Accelerate AI Innovation”) is described as largely deregulatory, including agency review of rules and certain FTC/FCC actions, with targeted concerns such as ideological bias and synthetic media in the legal system, plus investments in open-source/open-weight models, data, interpretability, evaluations, and government/DoD adoption. Pillar Two (“Build American AI Infrastructure”) focuses on the physical side of AI—permitting for data centers and fabs, energy and grid expansion, semiconductors, water for cooling, workforce training, cybersecurity, and “security by design,” while anticipating trade-offs and litigation. Pillar Three (“Lead in International AI Diplomacy and Security”) balances support for exporting US “full stack” AI with tighter national security controls, including stronger export-control enforcement and participation in international bodies primarily to counter China. The conversation closes with suggestions for improving the plan by strengthening trust, safety/rights considerations, and maintaining flexibility as AI capabilities evolve.

Governor Josh Shapiro has unveiled his Housing Action Plan, a proposal aimed at lowering costs and building more homes across Pennsylvania. ICE and Border Patrol agents raided a Montgomery County home last week, detaining Jose Manuel Cordova Lopez. His family is now calling for an independent investigation into what they say was a disproportionate and traumatic show of force. A group of Blair County volunteers is asking for help to restore a nearby abandoned town. An area historian is leading the charge and wants to turn the now-wooded area into a historical attraction. The outlook for Pennsylvania's rural hospitals is grim, in the face of decreasing federal dollars and budgetary challenges. An outbreak of avian influenza - or bird flu - is affecting 2.4 million birds in seven commercial poultry flocks in Lancaster County. Nearly 2,000 acres of Pennsylvania farmland is being preserved, in the state's latest round of ag preservation efforts.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner struggling with success? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Alexis Austin Litle, a former law firm partner and strategic success coach about how subconscious beliefs—often shaped by parental influence —can limit success in law firms. Alexis explains how these deep-seated patterns affect sales and growth and provides practical strategies to identify and rewire limiting beliefs about money and success.Subconscious beliefs drive success for people and more so for those who own their own businesses. Most people don't realize that the negative things that are said in your childhood actually are used to drive your success when you are older. These patterns that existed are now what control your success. For law firms, it is easy for there to be negative ideas about clients or something being too “expensive”. It is important to transform the beliefs of your team by rewiring  those beliefs. Alexis talks about what kind of action plan you need for this change, ultimately leading to success. Once you identify those thoughts and feelings from your team, flip the script on them. Start changing your own thoughts and feelings about clients, an expensive software that will help the firm or your intake process. The key is to be in a constant spaced repetition, so your team can follow your lead.Take a listen!3:58 The Power of Subconscious Beliefs9:39 Identifying and Rewiring Beliefs13:04 Proof of Success After Changing Beliefs16:00 Action Plan for Change18:34 Lasting Change and Parental BlameTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Alexis:WebsiteInstagram Facebook  X Linkedin Youtube

Send us a textMost professionals already know that showing up matters.  The real question isn't whether marketing should be consistent — it's whether that kind of consistency is actually realistic inside a busy, demanding practice.  In this episode, Sylvia Garibaldi breaks down a more practical way to think about marketing — one that goes far beyond posting on social media and doesn't rely on constant effort, pressure, or reinvention. Instead of treating marketing as a collection of tasks, this conversation reframes it as a system — one designed to support visibility, relationships, and authority over time, even when client work takes priority.What you'll learn:01:33 The Importance of Consistency02:36 Redefining Consistency in Marketing03:48 Signals of Consistency07:19 Building a Steady Marketing Ecosystem07:57 System 1: Visibility10:27 System 2:  Relationship Building12:35 System 3:  Authority Reinforcement14:55 Practical Steps for Sustainable Marketing22:37 Action Plan for Consistent MarketingResources:Feeling stuck about how to grow your practice, book a free strategy call here.#75 The Secret to Keep Clients Coming#85 Turn One Webinar Into Clients#47 3 Common Mistakes Holding Back Your Practice's GrowthRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"Love listening and learning from the Serve First, Sell Later Marketing Podcast” If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

Many sellers use mutual action plans as a process tool, but buyers ignore plans they didn't help create. In this episode, Brandon breaks down why MAPs fail when they're generic and seller-driven, and what buyers actually need: clarity, risk reduction, and a real path to a decision.

Grab the Free Talent Report here: https://customer-success-career.captivate.fm/reportCSMs don't leave because they're bad at their jobs — they leave because no one can see the impact they're making.

Episode Summary: Turning Pressure into Diamonds In this episode of the Achieve Results Now Podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dive into the "Stress Action Plan." Rather than trying to eliminate stress entirely, they discuss how to prepare for it, handle the load, and use pressure as a catalyst for growth—much like how pressure creates diamonds. The Core Philosophy "It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it." Stress is often a mental loop that paralyzes decision-making. The hosts emphasize that while we can't always control the stressors, we can 100% control our response through preparation and movement. The 3-Step Stress Action Plan Step 1: The Brain Dump & Control Test When stress hits, your thinking often goes out the window. To regain clarity: The Brain Dump: Get everything out of your head and onto paper. This turns abstract anxiety into "data" that you can manage. Control vs. Concern: Based on Stephen Covey's principles, categorize your list. Concern: Things you can't change (cross these off). Control/Influence: Things you can actually affect. Focus exclusively here. Step 2: The Psychology Reset To stop the mental loop, you must change your physical state. Pattern Interrupts: Do something out of the ordinary to "reset" your brain. This could be dropping for five pushups or changing your environment immediately. The 5-Second Countdown: If you feel paralyzed, count down 5-4-3-2-1 and move on "one." This subconscious trigger helps overcome procrastination and fear. Step 3: Momentum Micro-Wins When overwhelmed, the "Eat That Frog" (doing the hardest task first) method can sometimes lead to more paralysis. The 5-Minute Rule: Find the easiest, smallest task on your list that takes less than five minutes. Build Inertia: Use the "micro-win" from that small task to fuel your energy for the next item. Action is the ultimate killer of stress. Key Takeaways Avoid Labels: Don't label yourself as a "stressful person." These limiting beliefs act as brakes on your progress. Stress is Useful: Stress is a signal that you are uncomfortable, which can be the greatest motivator for taking action. Reconfigure Your Habits: Instead of numbing stress with "negative anchors" like hours of Netflix or overeating, pivot toward movement, reading, or exercise.

  Episode Summary: Is emotional intelligence the ultimate superpower? In this episode, we dive into how mastering your emotions can improve every relationship and professional interaction you have. We discuss why reacting instantly is almost always a mistake and share a 3-step action plan to help you control your impulses, understand your own feelings, and become a master communicator. Learn how to use the "Six-Second Rule," the power of a "Draft Folder Policy," and how to truly listen without just waiting for your turn to speak. Key Takeaways & Action Steps: ·        Why EQ Matters: Emotional intelligence isn't just about being "nice." It is about effectiveness. Dealing with humans requires a skill set that goes beyond logic. ·        Step 1: Master the Gap: o   The Six-Second Rule: Anger causes a chemical flush in the brain that lasts about six seconds. If you can pause for just that long (drink water, take a breath), you can regain control. o   The Draft Folder Policy: Never send an angry email or text immediately. Write it, save it, and sleep on it. You will almost always edit or delete it the next day. o   Control the Space: You can't control the delayed flight, but you can control your reaction. "If the flight is delayed, there is something wrong with the plane, the pilot, or the weather—and you don't want to be on it anyway." ·        Step 2: Name it to Tame it: o   Engage Logic: When you specifically name an emotion (e.g., "I feel disrespected" instead of just "I'm mad"), your brain shifts from the emotional center to the logic center, instantly lowering stress. o   Separate Self from Feeling: Stop saying "I am angry." Start saying "I am experiencing anger." You are not the emotion; you are the vessel experiencing it. ·        Step 3: The Listener's Lens: o   Stop Reloading: Most people aren't listening; they are just waiting for their turn to talk. Stop reloading your next argument and actually hear what is being said. o   The Looping Technique: Before you respond, summarize what the other person said ("So what I hear you saying is..."). This validates them and clarifies any misunderstandings before they blow up. o   Validate to Influence: You don't have to agree with someone to validate their feelings ("That sounds frustrating"). Connection precedes influence. Quotes from the Episode: ·        "Anger causes a chemical flush in your brain that lasts about six seconds. If you can pause, you win." ·        "Stop reloading. Stop waiting for your turn to speak and actually listen." ·        "You can't fire a behavior, but you can change it. Name it to tame it." ·        "If you only have short-term friends, look in the mirror. You might be the problem." Action Plan: 1.   Practice the 6-Second Pause: Next time you feel triggered, count to six before doing anything. 2.   Use the "Draft" Rule: Commit to waiting 24 hours before sending any difficult communication. 3.   Try "Looping": In your next conversation, repeat back what you heard before you offer your opinion.

  Episode Summary: Is "being yourself" actually holding you back? In this episode, we tackle the toxic side of authenticity. While it's good to be true to yourself, using "this is just who I am" as an excuse to avoid growth is a trap. We discuss how to balance self-acceptance with "inspirational dissatisfaction" the drive to be better tomorrow than you are today. We break down how to fire your bad habits, create a mental "Avatar" for success (featuring a mix of Mr. Rogers and Ric Flair), and use physical triggers to flip the switch on high performance. Key Takeaways & Action Steps: The Authenticity Trap: If you aren't improving, you are dying. "Self-improvement" requires you to acknowledge that your current self isn't the final version. Step 1: Audit Your Default Settings: Identity vs. Behavior: Stop saying "I am a procrastinator." You are a person who has the habit of procrastinating. Separate the person from the action so you can fix it. The Pink Slip: Identify the specific behaviors that are hurting your results (like the "Kill the Joe" coffee example) and mentally fire them. Write It Down: Do not try to improve your life by memory. If you want to change a default setting, you must document it. Step 2: Select Your Model (The Avatar): The Hybrid Approach: You don't need to agree with 100% of a person to model them. Create an Avatar that combines the best traits of different people (e.g., the caring nature of Mr. Rogers + the energy of Ric Flair). The Magic Question: When stuck, ask: "How would my Avatar handle this situation?" Practice, Don't Pretend: Shift your mindset from "faking it" to "rehearsing it." You are drilling a new skill, just like in a dojo. Step 3: Develop a Physical Trigger: The Anchor: Choose a physical object or action (snapping a rubber band, putting on a hat, the click of a headphone case) that signals to your brain it is time to perform. Protect the Trigger: Never dilute your trigger. If your "hype song" is for working out, don't listen to it while relaxing on the couch. Keep the neural pathway clean. Quotes from the Episode: "If you're not improving yourself, you actually aren't standing still. You're dying slowly." "Don't try to improve your life by memory. It's the absolute weight of failure." "Procrastination is a behavior. It's not an identity." "What would Mr. Rogers do? He would care. What would Ric Flair do? He would WOO!" Action Plan: 1.  Write the Pink Slip: Identify 3 habits to "fire" today. 2.  Build Your Avatar: Pick 2-3 role models and merge their best traits. 3.  Set Your Trigger: Pick one physical action to start your work block and do it every single time.

Why do some people stay consistent while others restart every Monday? In this episode, we break down the research-backed link between identity, routines, and adherence—then make it practical with six aspirational avatars you can adopt today. Choose the identity that fits your season and plug in a matching L5 Method plan across training, nutrition, mindset, movement, and habits so your choices are pre-decided and your follow-through gets easier. We cover how identity-based habits reduce decision fatigue, why implementation intentions ("if X, then I do Y") boost success, and how repetition builds automaticity you can trust on busy days. Then we unveil six done-for-you playbooks: Peak Performer (busy professional) Strong Rebuilder (postpartum) Family Champion (parent in the chaos) Longevity Lifter (40+ healthspan focus) Builder-CEO (founder/operator) Momentum Maker (sustainable fat loss starter) You'll leave with a one-page plan: pick your avatar, run the L5 quick-start protocols, write three if–then plans for your common derailers, and test it for 14 days. Consistent results come from consistent inputs—start by choosing who you are.

Today's episode features Part 1 of our October 30, 2025 webinar, "AI in Financial Services: Understanding the White House Action Plan – and What It Leaves Out." In this installment, a panel of leading experts breaks down the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in financial services—from foundational concepts to the latest regulatory developments. Moderated by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel,  founder and former longtime leader of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, and Greg Szewczyk, chair of the firm's Privacy and Data Security Group, the discussion cuts through hype and uncertainty to provide clear, practical insights. Alan and Greg guide an energetic conversation about how AI has become a strategic priority for banks, credit unions, payments companies, and fintechs. Our panel includes: Charley Brown, leader of Ballard Spahr's technology and patents teams, who explains how institutions can protect and capitalize on AI-enabled technologies; Dean Ball, former White House senior advisor and one of the architects of the White House AI Action Plan, who provides a rare inside look at the policy landscape; Kristian Stout, Director of Innovation Policy at the International Center for Law and Economics, who examines the intersections of AI, regulation, and competition; and Charlie Bullock, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Law and AI, who outlines practical frameworks for responsible, compliant AI governance. Together, they unpack the complex patchwork of state, federal, and international rules now shaping AI deployment in financial services. The discussion highlights how automated decision-making laws, privacy requirements, and emerging definitions of "artificial intelligence" are forcing institutions to rethink compliance programs, manage risk differently, and anticipate new regulatory expectations. You'll also hear real-world examples of how organizations are grappling with these challenges in practice. This episode provides an essential foundation for understanding where AI and financial services intersect, and where the regulatory environment is headed. Be sure to tune in next Thursday for Part 2, where our experts delve even deeper into the future of AI, innovation, and legal risk in the financial sector.

In this episode, we reflect on the importance of giving thanks to the Lord for all He has done in both the beautiful and difficult moments of life. We talk about how practicing gratitude can change our perspective of reality and helps us recognize where God has been present even in moments we do not understand. We also name the fears that can sometimes keep us from giving thanks and discuss how gratitude becomes an act of surrender that opens us to God's steady, faithful presence. As a gift to you, we end today's episode by doing Lectio Divina with Psalm 34 and invite you into a time of prayer with us.   Heather's One Thing - Jalapeno, Pepper Jack, and Bacon Corn Pudding Recipe  Heather's Other One Thing -  Hell or High Water and Edens by Amanda Cook Sister Miriam's One Thing - Her SOLT Community Michelle's One Thing - College Football   Other Resources Mentioned:  Life Transitions Part One and Part Two with Chris Benzinger One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp   Journal Questions: What graces have I received this year?

(Ann Voskamp)   Scripture for Lectio: "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord, and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him."

Do you say your math program prioritizes critical thinking, but struggle to see it in action across classrooms?Many districts include critical thinking as part of their math vision. It is a powerful goal and one that prepares students to engage with complex ideas and make thoughtful decisions. However, teams often lack a shared and practical definition of what critical thinking looks like during math learning.In this episode, we reflect on a powerful moment from the documentary Counted Out. Students analyze exponential growth and challenge one another's thinking using real math. That scene led us to consider what conditions allow for this kind of deep student thinking. We also explore how beliefs, systems, and instructional choices can either support or limit the development of critical thinking in math classrooms.If your school or district is working toward greater coherence in your math instruction, this episode offers a meaningful opportunity to pause, reflect, and consider your next steps.Listeners will:Hear how one real classroom brought math-based critical thinking to life through meaningful dialogue and reflection.Learn why unclear definitions of “critical thinking” create misalignment across teams.Discover practical starting points — like focusing on metacognition — that help build coherence without overwhelming teachers.Press play to rethink what critical thinking in math actually means — and why it matters more than ever.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

This time of year is critical. As sales leaders map out their budgets for the new year, the conversation always centers on a core conflict: How to cut expenses and, simultaneously, motivate teams to hit larger quotas. What's the first line item to feel the squeeze? Training and development. It is often incorrectly labeled a 'want' and not a 'need.' We hear leaders say, "It can wait until next quarter," or, "Once we stabilize revenue, we'll invest in the team."  This short-sighted thinking doesn't save money. Instead, it's costing organizations a significant, quantifiable amount of revenue and talent. When professional development is treated like a luxury, we undermine the foundational ability of our teams to perform consistently at a high level. Training is the Foundational Requirement for Peak Performance Sales leaders should consider peak performance in any high-stakes environment. In the military, or in elite professional sports, ongoing training is not a choice—it is a non-negotiable, daily priority.  So why is it that, in Sales, we view continuous development as optional or too expensive? The simple truth is that lack of training is the most expensive mistake you can make. Think about the rate of technological change. Most of us have upgraded our cell phones in the last three to five years because the old ones simply couldn't keep up.  The same principle applies to your sales team's skill set. If your representatives are still relying on techniques learned 5, 10, or 15 years ago, then they are operating at a competitive disadvantage. They will be outmaneuvered and outperformed by competitors who are strategically investing in modern sales frameworks every time. Henry Ford's famous quote still holds true: "The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is to not train them and keep them." If you believe training is expensive, you must take a moment to calculate the monumental loss of reps consistently missing their quotas. The True Cost of Inconsistency and Turnover Look at the numbers. Assume three of your representatives are consistently missing quota by just 20%. That deficit is lost revenue—but it also represents wasted leads, missed opportunities, and the corrosive ripple effect of deals that never even make it into your pipeline. The amount of potential revenue lost due to underperformance is often far greater than the entire annual budget you would allocate to comprehensive sales training. Action Plan for Sales Leaders & Managers To reverse this loss, you must treat coaching as a continuous operational requirement, not a perk. Calculate the 'Cost of Inaction' to Justify Budget: Reframe thinking of training as an expense and start focusing on the cost of the status quo. Calculate the annualized revenue loss from your bottom 20% of underperforming reps (e.g., missed quota * average deal size). Use that concrete number to justify and secure a budget for development, proving that not training is your biggest liability. Implement a Continuous Coaching Framework: Don't rely on annual training events. Transform your managers into daily coaches by mandating 30 minutes of structured, one-on-one coaching per week focused on skill development. This reinforcement is what locks in new behaviors and prevents the initial energy gained in training from fading. The Hidden Expense of Disengagement Talent turnover is another critical cost of lack of training that is often overlooked. A representative who feels unsupported, or who consistently misses quota because they don't have the necessary tools and coaching, is highly likely to seek opportunities elsewhere.  The cost of recruiting, onboarding, and ramping a replacement—which includes the loss of established customer relationships and the disruption to team morale—significantly outweighs the expense of proactive investment. How to Take a Struggling Rep From Liability to Asset A struggling representative is not necessarily a failure. More often than not, they are simply a motivated individual who has not been properly coached, developed, or given a clear framework for success. They begin their job eager to prove themselves, but without guidance, that initial energy quickly dissipates. Investing in development can be the deciding factor that transforms a dedicated, yet struggling, team member into a consistent top performer. When you strategically invest, you convert what could have been a liability into a high-value asset for your organization. You also ensure that the talent seeking growth and success will find it with you, not with your competition. Action Plan for Sales Leaders & Managers Implement a Mandatory Tiered Coaching Cadence. Shift from generic pipeline reviews to mandating a structured, tiered coaching system: Tier 1 (The Weekly Huddle) for metric accountability; Tier 2 (The 1-on-1 Call) for strategic deal review; and Tier 3 (The Dedicated Call Critique Session) where the rep listens to and dissects a recent call recording (a win or a loss).  Run a Quarterly 'Skill Obsolescence' Audit. Your team's skills are your greatest asset, but they have a shelf life. Conduct a quarterly audit to identify the top three techniques that are obsolete but still being used by your underperformers (e.g., leaving long, rambling voicemails or sending generic proposals). Then, mandate a one-week "kill period" where your entire team replaces that obsolete technique with a modern, proven one. The Strategic Advantage of a Cohesive Culture When you commit to consistent training, you don't just sharpen skills—you create alignment, clarity, and confidence across your organization. Every team member speaks the same sales language, follows a unified playbook, and builds the same winning habits.  Training sharpens individual skills, but it also creates a culture where representatives feel supported, valued, and fundamentally equipped to win. The world's best-performing organizations, from elite sports teams to world-class businesses, all share one critical characteristic: They never stop training. As you plan for the year ahead, move past the outdated notion that development is an optional line item. See it as the essential fuel for your sales engine.  If you are serious about hitting bigger quotas, accelerating deal velocity, and retaining your high performers, sales training has to be a strategic priority. The organizations that win are not the ones that cut corners on development; they are the ones that double down on it.  Don't budget for failure. Invest in the skill set that guarantees your next quarter's revenue. Don't let your pipeline run on empty. Take control of your team's performance today.
