An overflowing task manager and a crowded-out calendar are rarely ever caused by using the wrong tools. The problem happened well before you entered the task or added the appointment to your task manager or calendar.  And that's what we're looking at this week.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about my Productivity Academy Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived    Apollo 13 Lunar Module Start-up Procedures   The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script |431 Hello, and welcome to episode 431 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  If you were to look at your appointments for tomorrow right now, how much time do you have that is not already committed? Two, three, four hours?  Now look at your task manager: how many tasks are overdue or scheduled for tomorrow?  In the uncommitted time you have tomorrow, are you confident you can complete all those tasks?  Most people who do this little exercise, if they are being honest with themselves, will answer “no chance”.  And this is the top reason why so many people are struggling with time management and productivity today. And there is a word for it: Overcommitted.  It's not the tools they use or any other complex reason. It's simply because they've allowed themselves to become overcommitted.  This week, I'm looking at how this happens and what you can do to unravel the problem so you are operating within your natural capacity, not overworked or under pressure, and not feeling like you are sinking under the weight of unrealistic deadlines and commitments.  So, to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Douglas. Douglas asks, “Hi, Carl, I know you tell people to keep their task manager clean and tight, but I find that impossible. I'm collecting 20 or more things into my inbox each day; I often have 4 or 5 hours of meetings, and I have to deal with at least 130 emails and messages each day. How would you get all that under control?” Hi Douglas, thank you for your question.  I did some quick maths on the numbers you provided and noticed that if you are collecting, on average, 25 new tasks a day, have 130 emails and messages to deal with and only have 3 ½ hours of non-meeting time each day, that would mean you would have only 1 minute and 13 seconds to spend on each item.  Yet those numbers assume you are not taking time for lunch or coffee or a glass of water. If you were to include a 30-minute lunch break and 15 minutes to get water and coffee each day, that would leave you with less than a minute available for each email, message, and task.  Is that realistic?  Based on that quick calculation, the issue here is one of capacity. You've no capacity left. All that's needed to completely destroy your day is an urgent, last-minute meeting request, an issue that prevents you from doing any of your planned work or simply an IT problem that doesn't allow you to do the work you planned.  I can assure you, Douglas, you are not alone here.  There are millions of people all around the world struggling with the same thing. They're overcommitted.  Which is why it's completely irrelevant what tools you're using.  The first thing I would advise someone in this situation is to do the maths I did above. Now, I know I do not have all the information. I don't know what work you do, your position in the company, or whether you lead a team.  But what I do know is you've gone beyond your natural capacity, and now you will be building up enormous backlogs. You will be struggling to meet your deadlines, and I bet when you get home you're exhausted.  This exercise will tell you how much capacity you have.  If the meetings you attend each day are non-negotiable, you will need to find a way to reduce the number of tasks you receive. Which means you will likely have to do something uncomfortable.  Reject requests.  Now I know this is very hard to do. Nobody likes disappointing someone. But the choice is: either you disappoint them when they ask, or you disappoint them when you cannot deliver what you promised on time. And I think failing to deliver on your commitments is the bigger disappointment. Think of it this way. If you say no and they ask someone else who can deliver, then you've actually helped them.  Sure, your pride may be slightly hurt, but this isn't about your pride. This is about setting yourself realistic expectations on what you can and cannot do.  However, there is another possible solution. Cap your daily meetings. If, when you do the little exercise on how much non-committed time you have, you realise that you will need four hours of meeting-free time each day, then you cap your meeting time at 3 hours per day.  This will then leave you with 4 or 5 hours for your tasks.  Now there are various ways to do this. You could use a calendar service such as Calendly or Acuity to open blocks of time for people to schedule meetings with you, or you could tell people that you've reached your meeting limit for the day and ask if you could meet on another day.  You will be surprised how accommodating people can be.  Another consideration is to reduce the meeting times to 30 minutes. This has the added advantage that people will get to the point much faster, and you'll find you still cover everything that needs to be covered.  I've learned many things over the years I've been coaching and helping people with their time management and productivity, but one of those lessons stands out: Every “yes” has an invisible “no”.  In other words, every time you accept another commitment, whether it is a meeting or a piece of work, you are saying no to something else you could have done with that time.  But it goes beyond that. Meetings have a nasty habit of generating more commitments. Another meeting, more emails and tasks, for example.  And pieces of work generate what Cal Newport calls “admin costs”; these are the little extra tasks, such as finding information, following up, and answering questions. They are the invisible “nos” rarely ever considered.  So in your situation, Douglas, there are a few questions to ask yourself: Do all your regular meetings require your presence? If not, perhaps you could drop one or two of them. If you can, don't allow the saved time to be replaced by other meetings. Protect that time. Save it for the things you have prioritised.  The goal here is to gradually withdraw from these meetings.  If you manage a team, perhaps you could delegate attendance at some of these meetings to one of your team members. They can then report back to you with a summary of what happened.  What are you collecting? You mentioned that you collect around 20 new items on average each day. That seems like a lot. What are you collecting?  There are some things that will need to be collected; you may need to contact someone for information or organise the purchase of new equipment.  But if you are collecting emails to respond to and articles to read, then your task manager is not the best place for them. Emails and messages have their own self-contained apps. Keep everything within these walls. For instance, if you have a Slack message to reply to but need to think about it first, flag the message. Or you can use Claude or ChatGPT to find all your unresponded messages for today. You could even set this up as an automation  With email, it's easier. You can create an Action folder for emails you need to respond to and drop them in there. Then give yourself some time later in the day to respond to them.  The goal here is to reduce the pressure on your capacity, and one of the fastest ways to do that is to reduce friction points.  For example, if you get an email you feel you should respond to and then move it to your task manager, that's a lot of additional time—remember “admin cost”? It's far faster to drag and drop it into an Action folder.  A great question to ask yourself is: What has to come out of my week to make it more realistic?  Juggling your current commitments around, fiddling with your task manager or trying new tools is not addressing the real issue.  The real issue is a capacity one. You're trying to do far more than you can do. You won't find the solution until you address that.  I would begin with: How much time do you need to stay on top of your work? That could be an extra five or six hours a week. Now you have something tangible to work with.  For those of you who have watched the film Apollo 13, there's a scene where the character Ken Mattingly is in the lunar module flight simulator, and they are trying to find a start-up procedure that would not draw more than 20 amps.  This meant they had to find out what they could turn on and what they could not.  After hours of testing, they finally had a start-up procedure that draws just under 20 amps.  I will put a link to the clip in the show notes, as it is a great illustration of what we sometimes have to do with the time we have. It's finite, and often the only things we can do are the essentials. There's no time for the “would like to do” or low-value tasks.  In many ways, an issue we all share is that we think time is infinite, when it's the opposite. It's finite, and how we allocate our time each day is largely our choice.  The key is understanding that there are always trade-offs and consequences when we allocate our time. If we say yes to one thing, we say no to another, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.  As I am writing this script, I am not responding to an urgent email or talking with my family. Equally, when I am chatting with my wife, I am not writing feedback for my coaching clients.  So, Douglas, look at your calendar. How are you allocating your time each week? What can you remove to free up time for the things you want to spend it on?  It won't be easy, and you will feel uncomfortable doing it. However, I can assure you that it is possible and when you have done it, you will feel lighter, more focused and appreciate your time in ways you've never considered. Plus, the bonus is that other people will begin respecting your time more than they do today.  Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Are you on a mission to find the best productivity app or system, and find that no matter how many apps or new methods you try, you still find yourself overwhelmed, backlogged and stuck? Well, this week I want to tell you about a new way I can help you.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Productivity Academy The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script |427 Hello, and welcome to episode 427 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Eleven years ago, I began writing blog posts on time management and productivity. My goal was simple. To help people navigate the rapidly changing world of time management and productivity.  In 2015, it seemed almost every day a new task manager or notes app would come out promising to make organising your day easier.  This meant established productivity apps such as OmniFocus, Things, Remember the Milk and Todoist had to change to keep up. So these apps started adding features, changing their design languages, and everything started to become more complicated. AI today is doing exactly the same thing. Promising a lot and forcing established productivity tools to add more and more features, whether we want them or not.  When trying to decide if a new productivity tool is all that it promises to be, I've noticed that many of these promises are repackaged things that already exist.  For example, I've been using an app called TextExpander for fifteen years now. TextExpander inserts pre-written “snippets” of text through a keyboard shortcut.  I use it for writing dates so I don't need to look up the date. All I type is “Edate”, and it will give me the date in the UK format: day, month and year.  I also have some pre-written thank you emails there too. They are written by me in my writing style, and a simple keyboard shortcut will give me the email. While TextExpander won't send the email for me, all I need to do is hit Command and return on my keyboard, and it will send it.  Then we have tools such as Calendly and Acuity. These tools allow you to set up times on your calendar that people can pick from to set up an appointment with you. Once set up, this works in the background, and you have nothing to do.  No back-and-forth negotiating a time. People just click on a link, and these tools deal with time zone differences and all the admin.  No need for AI to get involved.  AI will inevitably change the way we work; for many people, it already has. However, there are some principles that never change.  There will still be 24 hours in a day, you will still be able to only focus on one thing at a time, and you won't be able to be in more than one place at a time.  Your energy will fluctuate, and you will need to get enough sleep.  The need to manage our time is still there. We still have friends and family, work commitments and perhaps some hobbies. They all need time.  And the principles of time management will not change. If you want to do something, it will require time. Whether that's cleaning out your car or sitting on the sofa chatting with an AI bot.  Time management and productivity skills will still be needed no matter what advances AI brings to our workplaces and lives. Thinking about all this led me to look at how people are engaging with my Learning Centre. This is where I have courses and programmes to help people become better at managing their time and become more productive.  As I was looking, I noticed something interesting. The people who have made the biggest positive changes in their lives weren't the people who bought the most courses.They were the people who kept learning. They perhaps began with my COD course, my free productivity fundamentals course, then went on to purchase the Time and Life Mastery programme or the Time Sector System course.  Some went on to join my coaching programme so they could have guidance on building their own, tailor-made system.  This highlighted a mistake many people make with time management and productivity. They approach it as if it were a destination. Find the perfect app, read the right book, take the right course, watch one more YouTube video, then they'll finally be organised. Yet that's not how it works, and you've probably noticed. A few years ago, the trend was minimalist desk set-ups. This is where people stripped everything from their workspace so all they had was a small plant, a simple lamp and a laptop attached to a large monitor.  YouTube was full of videos of people showing off their desk setups. They looked great, but did absolutely nothing for their productivity.  Now the trend is to have books and notebooks everywhere. The plants survived, but the little desk accessories have reappeared. Minimalism seems to have lost its appeal. Few people have been able to stick with it.  It seems keeping things minimal is challenging and time-consuming. I also saw something similar when I was at university; I studied part-time. 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm every Tuesday and Thursday.  On our first day, there were just over 200 students crammed into the lecture theatre. All excitedly looking forward to their graduation day four years later with an LL.B Honours degree.  I remember the professor in charge of the course telling us that 70 to 80% of those in that lecture theatre would not graduate. Not because the course was particularly difficult. It wasn't. But because committing six hours a week to attending lectures for four years would be a commitment beyond most people.  And on our graduation day, there were just 24 students left. Almost 200 students had quit! It didn't matter what tools or processes you had. What mattered was understanding the basic principles of time management. Turning up consistently and doing the work.  It had nothing to do with academic ability or how smart someone was. The people who graduated were the ones who turned up constantly and managed their time so they were able to attend the lectures and do the reading (there was a lot of reading to do for a law degree) week after week for four years.  Being good at time management and consistently productive is more like fitness. Let's say you wanted to get fit. You wouldn't expect to take a three-hour course on weight training and suddenly become stronger.  Fitness doesn't work like that. The same is true of playing the piano, learning a language, cooking, and photography. These are not one-time learning experiences; they're continuous. And learning to better manage your time and be more productive is no different. Our lives and work change. We may begin as a junior administrative assistant, but within a year or two we are managing a team of four people and overseeing projects.  You start a family; now suddenly you have a little monster waking up every two or three hours screaming through the night. And as your kids grow up, you have commitments to take them to and pick them up from swimming or football practice.  The time management skills you learned at school and university don't work in the workplace. And as you change jobs, you need to learn new ways to manage your time both professionally and personally.  The real challenge isn't knowing what to do. If you've followed this podcast or my YouTube channel, you will already know you should plan your week and day, spend less time reacting to emails and messages, and protect time for your core work (at least I hope you do). The challenge is applying what you know consistently while juggling meetings, deadlines, family commitments and the unexpected events that arrive every day. This is why consuming more productivity content isn't going to create the change you want. As James Clear's Atomic Habits (a fantastic book) shows: Information fades; your habits remain. Over the years I've noticed something about many of the people I've coached. The ones that become brilliant at managing their time don't just complete a course or have one or two coaching sessions and disappear; they keep coming back. They ask questions, refine their systems, and they adapt as their careers and family lives change. They come back to ideas we implemented years ago and learn new ideas because they now have different challenges.  My best clients have been with me for over eight years, and they are the ones who've seen incredible changes, so much so that they've inspired me! I realise now that when my driving instructor told me years ago that: “You don't learn to really drive a car until you've passed your driving test.”  the same is true about your time management and productivity: you don't become more productive and better at managing your time until you start practising what you learned.  All this got me thinking about what productivity education should look like over the next five to ten years. I don't believe it's about creating more courses, and it's certainly not about developing more complicated systems, packaging them up and selling them.  Instead, it's about creating a place where people can continue learning, refining and improving over time, just like many of my coaching clients have done. They understand that becoming organised and in control of their time isn't a project; it's a lifelong commitment. And like every commitment, it works for those who stick with it. So, going forward, I will be introducing more live training events for you.  I started doing a few live training events in 2023, and some of my favourite moments have been in those sessions. I've been able to answer questions, explore new ideas and help people apply what they've learned to their own situations. Standalone courses don't allow me to do that, because we are all different, with different professions and responsibilities; no ‘one size' will fit everyone, and that's frustrating as a teacher.  Live training changes that. It gives you a place to ask me questions directly related to your challenges. That is what I want to make an ongoing part of the learning experience, not something that only happens occasionally. The courses and programmes give you the technical knowledge and theory. The live training gives you the practical skills to put what you learn in the courses into practice in ways that work for you.  It's the difference between learning to drive by reading a book or getting in a car with an instructor and actually going out there and driving. All this thinking led me yesterday to launch my Productivity Academy. It is the result of months of work, giving you a place where you can keep coming back, get answers to your questions, and work with a group of people on a similar journey as yourself.  And it includes monthly live training sessions that you can join, ask questions, and have the principles applied directly to the way you work.  It will also give you access to all my current and future courses, along with a recommended roadmap for taking them.  My overall goal hasn't changed. That's to help as many people as I can become better at managing their time and being more productive so they can enjoy the things they want to enjoy doing.  But I realise I need to do more, and the best way I can do that is to increase the live training element, which will allow me to help you navigate the current and future ways we work.  If you've already purchased several of my courses, please don't think you need to replace them. You don't. Those courses remain yours exactly as before. The Academy is simply a different way to learn. The courses will give you the theory and know-how. The Academy will give you the practical skills (and some accountability) to put what you have learned into practice. If you enjoy learning independently, nothing changes. If, however, you'd like regular guidance, monthly training and access to everything I create going forward, I think you'll really enjoy becoming an Academy Member.  I will put a link in the show notes to the Academy's website, and feel free to email me if you have any questions.  I hope to be able to “meet” you in one of our live training sessions soon.  Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me to wish you a very, very productive week.

It easy to miss the changes that occur in our spiritual live until we compare ourselves with a Biblical picture of life and spirituality from Acts 2:41-47.

In this Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila get honest about something most women entrepreneurs don't even realize is happening: you're losing sales before a client ever has the chance to say yes. And it's not your offer. It's your systems.They break down the three systems that are quietly costing you money, referrals, and repeat clients, and what you can do right now to fix them. This one is part strategy, part wake-up call, and completely practical.What you'll take away from this episode:Why a complicated booking process is the fastest way to lose a sale before it even starts.The real reason your happy clients aren't sending referrals your way (and it has nothing to do with your results).Why repeat clients disappear, and what "red carpet service" actually looks like in a real business.The tools (Calendly, Acuity, Stripe) that reduce friction and make it easy for clients to say yes.How to audit your entire client experience so your business runs like one.Why referrals are a trust asset, and how your systems either build or break that trust.If sales feel harder than they should right now, this episode is probably the answer you've been looking for.Take our FREE quiz: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/quizGrab your ticket for SHE LEADS: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/she-leads-2027Pre-order our book: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/presale

Patients are coming home from the hospital sooner, sicker, and with more complex needs than ever before. For home health agencies, that shift is changing everything from clinical workflows and documentation to staffing, caregiver support, and revenue cycle performance. In this episode of Home Health Revealed, Hannah Vale sits down with Rachel Trombly, Director of Clinical Services at Mosai, to discuss what higher-acuity care really means for today's home health providers. Together, they explore how agencies can move from reactive to proactive care through stronger risk stratification, better care coordination, more meaningful documentation, and empowered caregivers. Tune in to learn: Why patient acuity is increasing—and what it means for your agency How documentation can better capture patient complexity The critical role caregivers play in preventing rehospitalizations Why risk stratification is becoming essential for operational success How agency leaders can better support clinicians while improving quality and financial performance Whether you're a clinician, operational leader, or revenue cycle professional, this conversation offers practical strategies to help your agency adapt to the new reality of higher-acuity home health. Access Rachel's recently published a blog, "Why Risk Stratification Is Becoming Essential Amid Staffing Shortages in Home-Based Care" which expands on many of the themes discussed in the interview: www.mosai.com/blog/why-risk-stratification-is-becoming-essential-amid-staffing-shortages-in-home-based-care Chapters (00:00:03) - Home Health Revealed: The Shift towards higher-acuity patients(00:01:39) - Interviews with Home Health Agency Executives(00:02:50) - Home Health Care: Higher Acuity in the Home(00:04:39) - Home Health Care: Complex Care Needs(00:08:12) - OASIS 12, Documentation(00:10:56) - What are the biggest gaps or risks when agencies are managing higher ac(00:13:27) - The Plan of Care for High-Acuity Patients(00:15:59) - Caregiver-centered care(00:22:35) - What are the biggest drivers of home health hospitalizations?(00:25:53) - Capacity planning for complex patients(00:30:11) - How to better support complex cardiac patients?(00:37:36) - What's the One Thing Home Health Companies Need to Do to Man(00:39:53) - Interviews with Mosay On Home Based Care

In EMS, the moment your mind starts to slip is rarely dramatic. It is quieter than that. It is the moment your focus narrows, the noise gets louder, the room feels smaller, and the call demands clarity you are not sure you can access fast enough.This episode explores mental acuity: your ability to think clearly under pressure. Not perfectly. Not flawlessly. Clearly enough to make good decisions when everything around you is unstable.We break mental acuity down into four attributes that matter deeply in the field: situational awareness, compartmentalization, task switching, and learnability. Each one affects how you read a scene, manage your emotions, prioritize tasks, adapt to new information, and stay functional when the pressure spikes.We also talk about the cost of compartmentalizing without processing, the limits of multitasking, the danger of cognitive overload, and why staying teachable is not optional in a profession that is constantly evolving.Mental acuity is fragile, but it is trainable. This episode offers practical takeaways for EMS providers who want to stay sharp, stay steady, and stay ahead of the call.

Kayla Fratt chats with Liza Rothkoff- a 3rd year PhD student at Texas Tech in the K9 olfaction lab- about her most recent paper, "A preliminary study on the impacts of exercise intensity and duration on gastrointestinal temperature and odor detection performance of dogs". They discuss dog selection, study design, results, and what Liza hopes handlers will be able to take from the study.

Most people think jet lag is just about time zones. What if the real problem is inflammation? In this episode of Get Yourself Optimized, I sat down with Andrew Herr, founder and CEO of FlyKitt, a former human performance strategist for the U.S. military, and twice named a Mad Scientist by the U.S. Army, and he completely reframes how you think about travel, recovery, and peak performance. "When your body runs cleaner, when it's being more efficient, when it's not inflamed, you can just catch the signal better." Andrew doesn't just help road warriors arrive feeling sharp. He goes deep on the physiology of sleep, the underrated power of polyphenols, the psychological tools that break self-sabotage, and the surprising spiritual dimension of optimizing your health. In this episode, we cover:

Lon Hecht, CEO of Care2U, has designed an innovative model of providing in-home high-acuity care as an alternative to emergency room visits or hospitalizations.  The process includes sending a clinician to the home within 2-4 hours, with extensive mobile medical equipment, and physician support via telehealth.  Benefits include better patient recovery outcomes, significant cost savings for patients and payers, and prevention of costly hospital readmissions. Lon explains, "My company, Care2U, and I are bringing high acuity care into the home. So think of it as kind of a replacement for ER-level care or hospitalization. When you think of home care, that's typically skilled or unskilled care. So it could be someone coming in to help you with daily living needs, or it could be some kind of skilled nursing. What we do is very different. We're sending a clinician into the home. Typically, within two to four hours, they bring in a physician via concurrent telehealth and treat true high-acuity needs. Once again, things that you would typically see in the ER in the hospital. So that's how it's different. And what's great about it is it really allows you to stay in your home, be around your loved ones, which is fantastic. And the cost is a fraction of what you would pay for ER or hospital-based care."   "There's a lot of data out there that shows people heal better at home. When you're in a hospital, there are all kinds of things going on. You're around plenty of infection. You're up all night. It's very chaotic for folks. Being able to be at home with their loved ones, pets, and others, and move freely throughout the home, really makes a difference in their recovery. So, it's been published as being incredibly positive for the care of patients."  #Care2U #HospitalAtHome #ERAtHome #CareAtHome #HealingAtHome #EmpoweredPatient #DigitalHealth #Telehealth #VirtualCare #HealthTech #ValueBasedCare #PopulationHealth #AgingInPlace #ManagedCare #ValueBasedCare #Readmissions #Caregivers #OlderAdults #Geriatric #Elderly#HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #PatientExperience #HealthcareDelivery #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareCosts #PatientOutcomes care2U.com Download the transcript here

Fresh out of the studio, Borko Kovacevic, Co-founder of Poddster and Podyx, joins us to explore how he is building the world's largest podcast studio network and the operating system behind it. He shares his career journey from nearly 17 years at Microsoft across Central Europe and Asia Pacific, to making the entrepreneurial leap and launching Poddster's first flagship studio in Dubai, followed by Singapore. Borko explains how Poddster scaled by treating operations like software — standardizing over the operational framework to run studios from UAE and Singapore to now globally across the world while building a flywheel connecting corporate brands with authentic content creators. He unpacks how Podyx, the software spinoff, hit 24 markets with zero churn on day one. Closing the conversation, Borko shares why frequency and consistency in content creation — not polish — is the single most underestimated edge in the AI era, and what great looks like for Poddster and Podyx as a global studio network and platform."So what people underestimate is frequency and consistency in posting content beats everything else. Because the future internet is about you being available online and you providing enough content, enough material, that the algorithms learn about you. If they learn enough about you, you will be recommended in searches, you will do better on SEO, you will become more discoverable than anybody else. And that's the part which I think people underestimate." - Borko KovacevicEpisode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Borko Kovacevic [01:00] Introduction: Borko Kovacevic [03:17] The danger of corporate complacency & achieving success too early[07:00] The leap: why he finally decided to leave Microsoft and build something[10:13] The origin story of Poddster — not planned, born from a co-founder complaint[13:00] Building a mini studio prototype inside Microsoft; discovering the market gap[16:33] Modelling Poddster like McDonald's: 90% of operations standardized and repeatable[18:23] Building the flywheel: connecting corporates with content creators at scale[23:00] The global studio partner network — a community of 150+ studio owners globally[26:12] The roadmap: New York by September, then Los Angeles and London[32:10] How Podyx was born — a prototype to solve Poddster' own booking chaos[33:47] Why existing booking tools (Calendly, Acuity) didn't fit the podcasting workflow[36:55] Podyx metrics: $6M+ in transactions, 160 paying studios across 24 markets, zero churn[37:15] Stripe named Podyx fastest-growing vertical SaaS startup from Singapore[38:34] Founder-led sales: Borko personally onboarded the first 50+ studios on calls[42:23] Making a services business operate like software — what can actually be productized[44:48] The test for every new process: can you repeat it 10 more times across locations?[49:48] The one thing most people don't know about podcasting: frequency beats polish[50:42] LLMs and agents will train on your content — why posting consistently is the real SEO[54:14] Creators vs. corporates: fundamentally different problems.[56:00] Corporates discovering long-form: the end of scripted media interviews[58:22] The AWS-Cisco example: executive dialogue that earns trust without selling[01:03:13] What great looks like for Poddster and Podyx in the next few yearsProfile: Borko Kovacevic, co-founder of Poddster and PodyxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/borko-kovacevic/Poddster Website: https://poddster.comPodyx Website: https://podyx.comPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

In this episode of The Green Insider Podcast, Mike welcomes Renee Jacobs, Healthcare Business Development Manager at Distech Controls, for an in‑depth conversation on how intelligent building automation is transforming healthcare facilities. Renee brings more than 20 years of experience in healthcare construction and facilities management, giving her a practical, real‑world perspective on the challenges hospitals face—from aging infrastructure and tight budgets to energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The discussion explores how integrated building automation systems help hospitals improve operational performance, reduce energy consumption, and create healthier environments for patients and staff. Renee explains how Distech Controls, part of the Acuity portfolio, delivers connected solutions that bring together building automation, lighting, and other systems to support sustainability goals.

Send us Fan MailEvery year, millions of Americans end up in emergency rooms and hospital beds for conditions that could be treated just as well, and far more safely,in their own homes. So why does care still default to the most expensive, most disruptive setting possible? And who's actually doing something about it?Lon Hecht, CEO, Care2U joins host David Williams, President of Health Business Group to discuss bringing high-acuity care into the home, why hospital at home has struggled to scale, and how payers and providers are finally starting to align around a better model.

Kenji Kuramoto is the Founder and former CEO of Acuity, a pioneering outsourced accounting and fractional CFO firm that built and maintained financial functions for thousands of innovative entrepreneurs. Under his leadership, Acuity became one of Accounting Today's Top Firms for Technology and a Top Firm to Work For, before merging into Sorren in 2025. In this episode, Kenji joins Jason M. Blumer, CPA, to unpack what really happens when you step away from something that's still working. He shares the full story behind Acuity's 20-year journey, the decision to run a proactive merger process, and why he ultimately chose not to continue into the next chapter with Sorren—despite being Acuity's founder and leading the proactive merger process. The conversation explores the emotional reality of leadership transitions: identity loss, grief, relief, clarity, and the discipline required to not hold on too long. Kenji reflects on the surprisingly anticlimactic nature of closing day, the importance of timing your exit well, and how staying deeply connected to the profession helped him navigate life after stepping away. Today, Kenji is an investor, founder, and advisor focused on reimagining the future of the accounting profession. He is the founder of 404 Invests, an early-stage investment firm backing Accounting Technology, SaaS, FinTech, and Crypto companies. Earlier in his career, Kenji served as CFO of an Inc. 5000 tech company and began in the assurance practice at Arthur Andersen. If you're a firm owner considering succession, a merger, retirement, or your own next chapter as a leader, this episode offers rare honesty and perspective you won't often hear.

Disclaimer: Names and identifying details have been withheld to protect the nurse involved.In this gripping episode of Nurse Converse, an anonymous psychiatric nurse shares firsthand details from two violent riots inside an Arizona adolescent behavioral health facility. After repeated warnings about unsafe staffing and high acuity went unaddressed, nurses were left managing 26 teens with minimal support. When the situation escalated, 911 was called and police deployed pepper balls on the unit, affecting patients and staff alike.Our guest joins host Jana Price and describes the chaos, the trauma experienced by vulnerable adolescents, and the moral distress nurses carry long after the shift ends. We also explore regulatory oversight, administrative response, and the very real fear of retaliation that keeps many nurses silent.This episode is a sobering look at patient safety, staffing, and the courage it takes to speak up.>>911 Calls From Psych Nurses During Violent Youth Riot ReleasedJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:43] Arizona adolescent psych facility riots summary[00:03:27] Why the nurse ultimately called 911[00:05:11] Breaking point: staff assaulted during Code Grays[00:05:57] Unsafe staffing ratios on riot night[00:07:51] What safe restraint response should look like[00:09:02] Police arrival and use of pepper balls[00:10:20] Pepper exposure and chaos on the unit[00:13:21] Added trauma for already vulnerable adolescents[00:17:22] Acuity tool changes and hidden staffing data[00:22:05] State survey findings: major safety deficiencies[00:24:05] Management direction on riot wording and 911 calls[00:28:50] Fear of retaliation and need for anonymityConnect with Jana on LinkedIn and social media: Instagram: @gentlyusedrnFor more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

What happens when you pull back the curtain on how architectural lighting actually gets made—from whiteboard sketch to installation—and discover the hidden complexity, creative tension, and human ingenuity behind every luminaire?nnIn this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel sits down with two veterans from opposite ends of the manufacturing spectrum: Gary Trott from Acuity Brands (one of the largest lighting manufacturers in North America) and Tom Howe from Kelvix (a nimble, specification-focused flexible linear company). Together, they unpack the entire product development journey—the messy, exhilarating, frustrating, and deeply collaborative process that transforms an idea into the light you experience in buildings every day.nnThis isn't a sales pitch or a product demo. It's a rare, candid look at what it really takes to design, engineer, source, manufacture, and deliver lighting in an industry where nothing is standard, every project is different, and the pressure to move fast constantly battles the need to get it right. From the roller coaster of engineering pilots to the art of saying "no" to impossible requests, Gary and Tom reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between creativity and commerce, innovation and execution, vision and reality.nnThey discuss why service matters more than product, how architectural brands can thrive inside big companies, and why luminaire design is experiencing a Renaissance now that LED technology has stabilized. The conversation goes deep into supply chain strategy, the myth that one person can do it all, the critical role of controls, and why curiosity—not market demand—drives true innovation. Along the way, they bust myths, share war stories, and explain why even a "simple" two-foot change can ripple through an entire manufacturing process.nn

In this episode, Dr. Daniel del Portal, Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at Temple Health, explains the vital role long-term acute care hospitals play in improving patient flow, supporting medically complex recoveries, and stabilizing hospital operations. He highlights how strong LTACH partnerships enhance outcomes, preserve inpatient capacity, and create smoother transitions across the continuum of care.This episode is sponsored by ScionHealth.

Starting off this year with a bang with Russel from Acuity. We touch on the 24hr race he went to in Barcelona. We also touch on the collaboration with HRC. We also see if he qualifies as a trash panda car enthusiast.
