War is the natural state of man—success depends on constant struggle, strength of character, and surrounding yourself with people of virtue.Episode Summary:On this episode of The Gun Experiment, I sit down with Matt Larsen, head of the U.S. Army's combatives program, for a deep, no-B.S. discussion about guns, philosophy, AI, economics, and what it means to be a high-value man. We dive into everything from how the gun industry uses marketing strategies (just like everyone else), to the ongoing fight for Second Amendment rights and the realities of government overreach. We also chat about the rise of AI and its effects on education, the global technology race with China, and why moral character (not just money or status) truly defines a high-value individual. Finally, we tackle masculinity, the lost boy generation, and why the people you choose to surround yourself with will make or break your life.Call to Action:1.

They're in the courtroom every single day defending your right to own, carry, and train with firearms. Visit saf.org to support the most effective pro-gun rights group in the country.Key Takeaways:The gun industry's marketing tactics are no different from any other retail sector—people buy what they love.Legal and political fights for the Second Amendment are ongoing; victories happen incrementally, and staying grounded is crucial.AI is revolutionizing communication and education, but it's both exciting and a little scary—prompting well is a skill of the future.The US and China are locked in an economic and technological race; economic power trumps military might in shaping global influence.High-value men are defined by character, loyalty, and the ability to raise up others—not by money, status, or online bravado.Masculinity is under attack in popular culture, but Gen Z men are swinging back toward traditional values.Your success and safety hinge on surrounding yourself with good people—character will always matter more than cash.Guest Information:Matt LarsenHead of the U.S. Army Combatives ProgramRenowned trainer, author, and advocate for...

In this chat, Omari Richins, MPH discusses the alarming proposed changes by the US Department of Education regarding the definition of professional degrees, which excludes public health degrees. This exclusion could significantly impact financial aid access for public health graduates, amidst a backdrop of increasing burnout and disillusionment within the field. He emphasizes the essential role of public health in society and encourages listeners to take action through advocacy and community engagement.
God's mercy deserves a reasonable response. In Romans 12, Paul shows us what that response looks like: offering ourselves fully to God, refusing to be shaped by the world, and allowing Him to transform our minds. Mercy means we don't get what we do deserve; grace means we receive what we don't deserve. When we understand the weight of both, the only reasonable response is a life surrendered to Christ and committed to using our gifts for His glory.

This week, Jack Sharry talks with Morgan Bell, Managing Director of Advisory at Constellation Wealth Capital. Morgan leads the firm's technology consulting efforts and focuses on helping advisors and firms optimize technology for efficiency and growth. As a CFP® with an MBA in financial psychology and behavioral finance, Morgan offers a distinctive perspective that merges technological expertise with a deep grasp of human behavior and the advisor-client relationship. Jack and Morgan discuss the intersection of technology, AI, and financial psychology in wealth management. Morgan shares how technology can be used to drive organic growth, how to cut through the noise of endless vendor options, and why financial psychology remains at the heart of wealth management. From tech roadmaps and data integration to AI strategies and client relationships, Morgan brings her perfect mix of advisor experience, tech expertise, and behavioral finance insights to the conversation. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:42) - What Constellation Wealth Capital does and who they serve (04:49) - How Morgan helps firms optimize technology (07:56) - Bridging the gap between "tech geeks" and "business geeks" (09:28) - How technology connects to organic growth strategies (12:04) - How AI plays a role in wealth management (14:03) - Morgan's career journey (15:34) - The role of financial psychology in client relationships and tech adoption (18:59) - Constellation's future and long-term goals (22:47) - Morgan's key takeaways (24:22) - Morgan's interests outside of work Quotes "The more clarity and understanding firms have around how they should be using a system and why they're using it, and the value it provides to them and the firm, the better adoption they have of the technology overall." ~ Morgan Bell "The vast majority of the decisions that are being made related to technology tie back to either the client or the advisor experience. That's what fuels organic growth." ~ Morgan Bell "Firms should strive to use AI to complement, not compete. AI is a skill, so results can certainly be improved based on human knowledge of AI." ~ Morgan Bell Links Morgan Bell on LinkedIn Constellation Wealth Capital Pershing Creighton University Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

Welcome to another episode of Our Agile Tales, Navigating World Crises: The Agile-Law-AI Alliance in Action!In this continuation of our conversation with Ondřej Dvořák, CEO of AgiLawyer and COPS Solutions, we go deeper into how you actually run and scale an agile, cross-border legal-aid initiative in the middle of a war. If the first episode was about launching Linking Help, this one is about surviving the scale-up.Ondřej walks us through the messy, very human side of scaling legal aid for Ukrainian refugees: from dealing with thousands of requests in a language he didn't speak, to building a “clearing desk” and help desk function led by Ukrainian lawyers, to teaching volunteer lawyers across multiple countries how to work in a pull-based, Kanban system when they're used to command-and-control and assigned work.We explore how culture and ways of working showed up in very concrete ways - why France “just got it” from day one, while countries like Romania needed more support and education before becoming top performers. Ondřej talks about how simplifying the Kanban system (fewer columns, fewer concepts, one clear task: connect the person to a lawyer) was crucial to onboarding busy legal professionals quickly in a crisis.We also dig into scaling patterns: how they expanded country by country, used “early adopter” lawyers to grow local networks, and centralized the help desk while keeping case work decentralized. From there, the conversation shifts to constraints: the difficulty of fundraising for legal aid (which is hard to “picture”), differences in how pro bono is treated across jurisdictions, and the legal and ethical challenges of using AI to support legal work, especially questions of accountability and liability when AI-generated guidance might be wrong.If you're interested in how Agile, Kanban, and crisis-driven decision-making play out in the real world, across borders, cultures, and regulatory systems, then this episode is a rich case study in making agility practical, humane, and scalable beyond software.Episode Outline00:00 Introduction & recap of Part 101:05 The language barrier: Ukrainian requests and the need for a “clearing desk”07:58 Designing the help desk workflow10:45 Teaching lawyers a new way of working: pull vs. command-and-control13:12 Culture in action: why France “just worked” and Romania needed more coaching16:00 Simplifying Kanban for legal work18:48 Scaling country by country: early adopters, bar associations, and building local communities22:10 Centralized help desk, decentralized service: funding, hiring Ukrainian students, and managing demand24:55 Business model and funding constraints: the challenge of raising money for legal aid26:10 Legal and AI constraints: pro bono differences, AI-assisted legal opinions, and accountability28:30 Reflections on crisis as a catalyst and the future of global, AI-supported legal aid29:07 ConclusionAbout Ondrej DvorakOndřej is the co-founder of Linking Help, a nonprofit that mobilized legal aid for Ukrainian refugees using Scrum and Kanban to coordinate real-time support. It's a powerful story of how agility can make a real difference in humanitarian crises—far beyond the domain of business. Andre's work shows how Agile thinking can help even the most traditional sectors become more humane, responsive, and resilient.

In this special episode of MakingChips, we broadcast from the EBITDA Growth Systems Double Your Value Planning Event—a gathering designed to pull shop owners out of the day-to-day grind and force intentional thinking about long-term growth. This year's event was hosted at the Sandvik Coromant facility in Mebane, North Carolina, creating a perfect backdrop for conversations about planning, strategy, and culture. Paul is joined by three key voices who bring decades of hard-earned manufacturing wisdom: Jim Carr, a founding voice of MakingChips; Zach Overton, who is deep in the trenches of leading a multi-generation shop through transition and growth; and David Capkovitz, co-founder of EBITDA Growth Systems, whose strategic coaching framework is the backbone of this entire event. They pull back the curtain on why the event exists, how planning actually becomes actionable, and how shops can double their value in three years. Together, they dive into the realities every manufacturer faces—financial blind spots, operational challenges, cultural shifts, succession dilemmas, and the emotional weight of leadership. David's perspective as a coach blends seamlessly with Jim and Zach's lived experiences, creating a conversation that's equal parts strategic and deeply human. This episode highlights why stepping away from the shop floor is often the missing link for achieving the next level of growth. Whether you're planning for 2026, building resilience for a generational handoff, or simply trying to stop fighting fires, the insights shared here offer a clear direction forward. And yes—there's also a Cheerwine Old Fashioned or two. If you're ready to plan your next chapter with more clarity and confidence, this episode gives you the mindset and the roadmap to get started.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery... I found myself reflecting on the journey that brought me here. It has been a week filled with gratitude and appreciation for what we are building at A Z and Associates, and the moments that continue to shape who I am. Last week Carla and I had the chance to sit with the Lions team for their meeting, and instead of teaching, we were asked questions. Questions about our past, about the struggles we lived through, and how we found a way to rise. It forced me to revisit what shaped the success we have today, not only in business but in our marriage, in our finances, and in our belief that we could rebuild everything we once lost. When I think about that time, I remember how consumed I was by loss. The debt, the lawsuits, the fear of opening the door, the nights I could not sleep because I was drowning in worry. I punished myself for years, sitting in a dark place where I could not appreciate my life or my family. I missed moments with my daughters because I was stuck staring at everything I did wrong. What I did not realize then was that I was only in my twenties, and my whole life was still ahead of me. Five years later everything changed. Ten years later it changed again. Fifteen years later I could barely recognize that version of me. Every problem had a solution. Every mistake had a way forward. I just did not see it because I refused to get up and keep moving. If I could go back I would tell myself to dust off and trust the process. Life gives us the chance to redeem ourselves, but only if we stop sitting in the pit. That reflection followed me into the next day as we hosted our top producers roundtable. This room was filled with new faces, people who once looked at that lunch on social media and said I want to be in that room. And they are. They stepped toward their vision. They spoke it out loud. They worked until that moment became real. We took the group through a vision plan exercise, something I personally live by. I keep an album in my phone labeled vision plan filled with images and statements of everything I want to build. When I looked at my album from two years ago, I realized I have already accomplished ninety percent of it. Some goals took months, others years, but each one reminded me of what is possible when you see it every day and work toward it with intention. A vision gets you started, but a standard keeps you going. That came up again when I sat in church and listened to the pastor speak about the standards we must set for our own lives. Standards give you the certainty that solutions exist. When I began to create the right habits, when I woke up enthusiastic and ready to compete, I found answers faster. But waking up full of fear, full of anxiety, with no discipline to counter it, only drags you deeper. The prime 3 deposits are a standard. Taking care of your body. Feeding your mind. Becoming a student of your business. Those standards pulled me out of the darkest places of my life. They allowed me to overcome things most people will never experience. Enthusiasm ties it all together. I heard a story on a podcast about how airport dogs are chosen. They are not selected based on breed. They are selected based on enthusiasm. The dogs that pace, bark, jump, and engage with people are the ones they take. Not the ones laying quietly hoping for pity. Enthusiasm fuels curiosity. Curiosity fuels action. Action creates separation. When I look at our top thirty, I see that same energy. They show up hungry. They learn fast. They execute immediately. They do not wait for the perfect moment. They create the moment through action. That attitude compounds quickly and becomes momentum. We are heading into the final five weeks of the year and I see the enthusiasm in those who are still pushing. Some agents are chasing two more deals. Some are chasing four. They want to hit the stage at Ignite. They want to finish the year strong. While the rest of the industry is slowing down, they are speeding up. And because they are moving with intention, they will get what they are chasing. Most agents take it easy during the holidays. They convince themselves that buyers and sellers disappear. But those who outwork, out market, and out focus the competition will dominate the month of December. If you treat these next five weeks with fire, you set yourself up for the strongest start to 2026. I expect next year to bring challenges. I expect competition to rise. That is exactly why I stay in the lab, sharpening every skill, adjusting every system, and preparing for what is coming. That certainty comes from the standards I live by. If you want to rise, you must build the standard long before the results show up. Reader reflection questions What standard do you need to recommit to in order to face your next challenge with certainty instead of fear Where has your enthusiasm faded, and how would your results change if you restored it What is one vision you can bring closer to reality by taking action on it today instead of waiting for the perfect moment Notable quotes "A vision can get you going but a standard is what keeps you going." "Everything has a solution but I wasted years sitting in the pit convincing myself I had none." "Enthusiasm creates separation because it turns curiosity into action." Follow A.Z.

What if the person with everything decided the system was broken—and then put her money where her mouth is? That's not a headline. That's Marlene Engelhorn's real life. In this episode of Reppin, Marlene—yes, a multi-millionaire heiress from Vienna—breaks down why growing up rich wasn't the dream everyone assumes… and how waking up to her privilege pushed her to become one of the most outspoken voices for wealth redistribution, tax reform, and economic justice. This isn't performative philanthropy. It's not guilt. It's ACTION. REAL action. She literally gave away her inheritance. She co-founded Tax Me Now. She's building a citizens' assembly to decide how to redistribute her wealth—democratically. If you're someone who cares about social justice, economic inequality, wealth privilege, or what real accountability looks like, this episode is basically a masterclass. And if you've ever wondered why the system feels rigged—or what actual allyship looks like when someone with power steps up—this conversation is going to hit hard. You'll hear Marlene get real about: The emotional and social cost of extreme wealth The moment she realized her “normal” wasn't normal at all The awkward truth about privilege, friendships, and trust How relationships, care, and humanity drive real social change This is the kind of episode people talk about. Share. Replay. Because it's not just a story—it's a blueprint for a better world.
How much farther could you be if you stopped waiting for the “perfect” moment and just started?In this episode, I reflect on my own life and share why waiting for the right time can cost you more than you think.Let's break the cycle of perfectionism and discover the powerful momentum that comes from taking action, one imperfect step at a time.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Waiting Has a Hidden Cost: When you hesitate, you're not just missing out on opportunities—you're piling up missed chances on top of the ones already lost. Opportunity cost stacks up quickly when you're waiting to be “ready.”2. Action Beats Preparation: The biggest differentiator between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't is simple—action. There will never be a perfect time, so moving forward always trumps staying stuck in preparation.3. Progress Is Made One Step at a Time: You don't need to leap the whole distance at once. Take baby steps consistently; each small move adds up, and before you know it, the progress will surprise you—just keep moving forward.Ready to Master Your Mindset, Mission, and Message?If today's episode spoke to you, don't just listen—step behind the curtain and join the Journey Feed.

Byron Loflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at Nasdaq and co-author of CEO Ready, explained on the Strategy Skills Podcast why many talented executives never make it to the top. " Because you perform well isn't going to automatically get you the job." Boards are looking for more than results. They look for humility, curiosity, and authentic relationships across stakeholders. Byron shared a personal lesson from riding with Ronald Reagan before he was president: "He was genuinely interested in others. And that surprised me. I didn't get the sense that he was a pompous or aristocratic kind of person. He was genuinely interested in identifying what are you interested in? What makes you tick?" He also warned that unchecked ego is one of the biggest risks to leadership: "Ego is a powerful motivator when it's focused properly. But when it becomes dominant in one's personality and drives inappropriate types of responses to the needs of others… Ego can become a significant problem." To counter ego, he recommended building close, truth-telling relationships. This is what Byron said about conversations with his children: "I listen to them very closely when they speak to me and I invite them to speak truth into my life." And he reminded us that succession is political: "Surprise is the enemy. Structure is your friend." Finally, boards now expect leaders to be fluent in technology and disruption: "The expectation of management delivering understanding on the relevancy of AI to your organization with the emphasis on relevancy." Actions you can take now Seek feedback aggressively. Create a circle of truth-tellers: colleagues, mentors, even family, who will tell you the truth. Check your ego daily. Build humility into routines by asking: "Am I genuinely interested in others, or focused only on myself?" Engage all seven stakeholders. Byron identified investors, employees, vendors, customers, communities, regulators, and the environment as decisive. Map your relationships and strengthen the weakest link. Signal reliability to boards. Remove surprises. Show discipline in how you work and how you communicate. Become AI-fluent. Don't chase every trend. Focus on the relevancy of AI and digital disruption to your business and be prepared to explain it clearly.

Send us a textIn dentistry—as in life—leadership is not a title, but a responsibility. Too often, we imagine leadership as a rank to be achieved, a position to be claimed, or an office to be won. But genuine leadership is not defined by where you sit at the table; it's defined by what you do when you're at the table—and more importantly, what you do when you're not.At its core, leadership is action. It's the daily choice to step forward, to shoulder responsibility, and to serve others even when no one is watching. For state and national dental association leaders, this means moving beyond advocacy for oneself to a broader commitment: fighting for the profession, for patients, and for the future of oral health.Support the show
