What does it actually take to recover from burnout, beyond the standard advice to practice more self-care? In this episode, Dr. Jim Dahle talks with emergency physician, executive coach, and author Dr. Rob Orman about the realities of burnout in medicine. Rob shares his experience consulting on HBO's 'The Pitt' using real interviews from mass casualty responders, and discusses why he stepped back from full-time clinical practice to focus on coaching physicians through burnout, performance issues, and career sustainability. Rob explains why terms like "self-care" often fail doctors, since they don't address the actual sources of stress, and he shares a pivotal moment from his own career: screaming in his car during traffic on the way to a shift he dreaded, a moment that led him to finally admit he needed to make a change after 12 difficult years. He also offers concrete, usable tools, including a simple technique for defusing conflict by choosing curiosity over defensiveness, and the concept of the "drama triangle," a pattern of hero, villain, and victim roles that can trap people in unproductive conflict. The conversation closes with a look at medicine's historical roots in self-sacrifice, tracing back to clergy and early surgical training, and why that inherited mindset still shapes how doctors think about rest and limits today. Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a mismatch that can be addressed with the right tools, the right support, and the financial capacity to actually make a change when you need one.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Luke Bongiorno, PT, Director of NOIGroup, about what it really looks like to bring pain science into the treatment room. Karen and Luke dig into how he blends manual therapy, breath work, movement, and even music into a pain-science-informed approach and why consent, communication, and simply being human with patients matter as much as any technique. They also talk about leading a global education company, protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as the business scales, and staying grounded as a clinician wearing a dozen different hats.

At the heart of Luke's work is a simple belief: good clinical care starts with listening, understanding, and helping people make sense of their pain and injury. Luke's physiotherapy journey began with a degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia, followed by a move into clinical practice in New York. In NYC, Luke co-founded New York Sports Medicine, a company later acquired by United Healthcare. Still one of New York City's most prominent physical therapists, Luke's extensive experience in managing acute and chronic pain and sports injuries means he travels frequently to work with professional and Olympic athletes, as well as members of touring performing arts and dance companies. He currently serves as a consultant to the NBA League and European professional soccer teams. Luke is also affiliated with the clinical education programs of Columbia University and Touro College. Luke takes a hands-on approach to care, combining his advanced manual therapy skills with exercise and education. He genuinely cares about helping people understand their pain, build confidence in their bodies, and achieve the best possible recovery and performance. He strongly believes that education is fundamental to optimising patient recovery and performance. Luke has taught advanced skills courses in Manual Therapy internationally since 2004 and has been part of the Noigroup faculty since 2015. His years of clinical experience, combined with his practical and thoughtful approach to patient care, make him a highly respected clinician and educator.

In this weeks episode the Mayor talks with Dave Rose, an agency operator at Bolt and former Liberty Mutual and Travelers leader, about what independent agents can learn from captive carriers, how connected distribution works, and how agencies can start using AI without overhauling everything. Dave brings a practical, operator's perspective from both the agency side and the tech side, with a focus on real-world implementation rather than hype.In this episode, they cover the process discipline of captive agencies, the power of referrals and centers of influence in the independent channel, and why AI adoption is more about solving specific pain points than chasing tools.

Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Crystal Hincks generated more than $250,000 in consulting engagements in a single month.But that result came after months of experimenting with lead generation strategies that worked... just not well enough.Listening tours. White papers. Webinars.She started getting in front of more decision makers.But those conversations still weren't consistently turning into paid consulting engagements.In Episode 286, Melisa Liberman sits down with Crystal to unpack the full journey behind the $250K result: the lead generation strategies she tried, what she learned from each experiment, what was breaking down between conversations and paid work, and what finally changed.Crystal shares what she discovered about her sales process, how she changed the way she showed up in conversations with prospective clients, and why that shift mattered.Then she built a lead generation initiative around how her buyers already behave.That experiment generated more than 100 applications and led to more than $250,000 in paid consulting engagements in one month.But this episode isn't about copying Crystal's tactic.It's about the process she used to get there.How do you know whether to keep going with a lead generation strategy, refine it, or replace it?How do you stay with an experiment long enough to learn from it without wasting months on something that isn't working?And how do you recognize when the problem isn't your lead generation tactic at all, but something else in the way you're creating and converting consulting opportunities?Crystal shares what she learned from the strategies that didn't work, the ones that worked only partially, and the shifts that ultimately brought the pieces together.If you're working on lead generation but still wondering why your effort isn't translating into enough consulting clients or paid opportunities, this episode will help you see what to evaluate next instead of assuming you simply need to do more.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] Introduction to Crystal Hincks and why her story matters[00:02] Companion resource: Lead Gen Sprint at www.ConsultantSprint.com [00:20] Getting stuck in the friend zone and the premature proposal problem [00:29] The mindset shift: from helpful vendor to expert and peer [00:34] Value Made Visible: the initiative that created $250K in one month [00:41] What the experiment taught her about lead generation [00:45] Advice for consultants who are experimenting but not yet seeing resultsResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: The Consultant's Lead Gen Sprint.

A passion for supporting families during birth is the foundation for a career as a doula. But once that foundation has been laid, it takes business skills, boundaries, and collaboration to be sustainable.   In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Katie Nyberg, founder of The Iowa Baby Ladies, about her journey from fifth-grade teacher to doula, trainer, and owner of one of Iowa's largest doula agencies. Katie shares the early lessons she learned about setting fees, communicating with clients, and navigating the unpredictable realities of on-call work. Katie also opens up about the exhaustion that once made her consider leaving birth work altogether, and the changes that helped her build a more sustainable career. She discusses how recognizing the root causes of burnout, diversifying income, creating intentional seasons of work and rest, and building supportive relationships with other doulas keep her going.   (02:05) Katie's journey from teacher to birth doula (04:55) Early lessons in business, fees, and communication (07:21) Setting healthy boundaries with clients (11:40) Navigating childcare and the on-call doula lifestyle (14:02) Preparing for long births and using backup support (19:53) Recognizing and addressing doula burnout (25:45) Saying no and making space for rest (27:05) Growing The Iowa Baby Ladies (33:41) Advice for new doulas getting started (37:02) Overcoming imposter syndrome through education and experience (43:13) Advice for building a lasting doula career Resources Learn more about the EBB Instructor Program: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/become-an-evidence-based-birth-instructor/ Find an EBB Instructor: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/find-an-instructor-parents/ Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theiowababylady/ Learn more about the Iowa Baby Ladies: https://theiowababylady.com/ Evidence on: Doulas EBB 364 – How to Prevent and Heal Birthworker Burnout with Doctoral Student Ihotu Ali and Grace Flannery, Certified Professional Midwife

Noah Pines spent seven years as a prosecutor in Georgia — weighing sentences, navigating cases, trying to be a fair voice inside a system that does not always reward fairness — before leaving to become a criminal defense attorney and discovering what the justice system looks like from the other side of the courtroom. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Georgia prosecutor really required of him, why he left after seven years to defend the people he used to prosecute, what working Innocence Project cases and overturning twenty year wrongful conviction sentences actually involved, what the current problems with prosecutors in America actually look like from someone who spent seven years inside that world, and what representing people accused of the worst crimes available actually requires of the attorney who takes those cases. _____________________________________________ #lawyer #criminallaw #prosecutor #truecrimepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Aaron Bare breaks down how to scale a small business from one revenue level to the next without working any harder, and it starts with the model, not the hours. Bare has sold 12 companies and coached founders from venture-backed startups to Fortune 500 leadership, and he walks through the exact shift he ran with a client: cutting a package from 12,500 a month down to a 5,000 price point, then selling 20 times the volume with 10 times less effort through automation and a better process. He covers productizing your service for recurring revenue, adding a follow-on product to customers you already have, and using a free assessment to open a door that used to be closed.

This week on The Audit Podcast, Rania Bijlani, Founder & CEO of RB Advisory & Consultancy, joins the show to discuss how internal audit leaders can prepare for the future of the profession, embrace AI without losing human judgment, and build stronger partnerships across the organization. Rania explains why auditors need to move beyond simply using AI tools and start thinking about how they can audit AI, govern its use, and become part of the strategic conversation around AI. She breaks down the three biggest risks she sees for auditors: failing to learn AI, using it only superficially, and becoming overly reliant on it. She also explains why discernment and judgment will become even more important as AI takes on more of the work. Rania also shares her approach to helping internal audit teams become AI-ready, emphasizing that training alone isn't enough. Teams need a strategy, an actionable plan, and implementation support to turn what they learn into meaningful change. The conversation then shifts to one of Rania's biggest areas of expertise: building trust, influence, and real partnerships within the organization. She breaks down the foundation of trust, why credibility and shared purpose matter, and how auditors can move beyond policing the business to becoming true partners. Finally, Rania shares the biggest lesson she's learned from hosting her own podcast, Impact Legacy with Rania: across industries and leadership roles, it is the human skills — authenticity, self-belief, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and relationship-building — that truly make leaders stand out.

Anika sat down with Holland Martini and Maria Vorovich to explore how Good Ques transformed the traditionally rigid world of market research by embracing creativity, humor, and psychological safety. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: to get to real human insights, you cannot ask robotic questions; you have to shift the perspective and design an experience that makes people comfortable telling the absolute truth. Holland and Maria's unique journey—from working side by side at Grey in New York and navigating the unexpected hurdles of launching a business right before a global pandemic to earning recognition from Inc. Magazine and working with giants like P&G, PepsiCo, Adobe, TikTok, and Meta—offered a practical look at how two co-founders with contrasting working styles ("waffle brain" and "spaghetti brain") built an anti-research research company on mutual respect, clear communication, and purposeful creativity. In This Episode The Waffle and the Spaghetti: How balancing statistical rigor with big-picture creative strategy builds an indestructible co-founder partnership. The Spark in the Cream: Turning a New Year's Eve conversation about stale corporate jargon into a mission to reinvent consumer insights. Surviving the Pivot: How an early client backing out right before COVID unexpectedly forced them into the research boom. The TikTok Validation: Landing early major enterprise accounts by showing up with a genuinely different point of view. Rewiring the Factory: Why using AI to innovate the ultimate output rather than just speeding up the assembly line matters. The Power of Memes in Healthcare: How a viral internet joke helped a healthcare client accurately double their anticipated market size. The Empathy Deficit: Why modern brands get lost in best-practice perfection and forget to design human experiences for respondents. Co-Founder Dynamics: The importance of clear role separation, shared values, and leaving ego at the door. Timestamps 00:00 Intro: The anti-research research company 02:05 Waffle brain vs. spaghetti brain 03:54 The origin story at Grey 06:20 Taking off corporate guardrails 09:30 Carving a distinct agency path 11:42 Good Ques: Asking better questions 13:35 The 2020 pandemic pivot and TikTok 15:58 AI integration and industry innovation 20:53 Pitching enterprise clients 23:55 Creative research tweaks 25:10 The condom meme case study 29:26 Comfort with creative boundaries 31:32 Co-founder rules and motherhood 37:35 Remote culture and global teams 43:07 The respondent experience 46:26 What's next for Good Ques 47:24 Advice for new founders 49:32 Favorite quotes and business mantras Key Insights & Takeaways Insight 1: Invisibility Isn't a Content Problem—It's a Strategy Problem Traditional market research is bogged down by rigid, robotic phrasing that invites equally robotic, surface-level responses. When researchers focus entirely on extraction rather than the respondent's experience, they miss the underlying truth. Asking better questions requires designing an environment of psychological safety where people feel comfortable revealing their real behaviors. Insight 2: Creativity Belongs in Methodology, Not Just Execution Many corporate brands assume creativity only applies to advertising copy or visual design. True innovation happens when creativity is applied to the research methodology itself—using tools like creative drawing, changing the frame of reference to bypass social desirability bias, or even incorporating internet culture like memes to capture authentic consumer sentiment. Insight 3: AI Should Innovate the Output, Not Just the Assembly Line While many companies use generative AI simply to streamline traditional processes and speed up data collection, true market leaders use it to reimagine the final product. Technology should be leveraged to push beyond industry averages and discover entirely new frontiers of understanding rather than just producing faster mediocrity. Insight 4: Counterbalance Is the Anchor of a Strong Co-Founder Partnership A successful co-founder relationship relies on having complementary skill sets rather than duplicate visions. Pairing a structured, analytical mindset with a fluid, big-picture creative approach creates a resilient leadership team, provided there is absolute clarity in roles, deep mutual respect, and zero ego. Insight 5: Embrace Discomfort as a Metric for Growth Building a disruptive company requires a constant willingness to step outside the boundaries of convention. Whether it is pitching unconventional methodologies to skeptical executives, riding a bicycle across a bridge in freezing weather during a crisis, or pivoting business models overnight, treating discomfort as a sign of progress is essential for long-term survival. Resources & Links Mentioned GoodQues.com Good Ques LinkedIn Columbia University (guest lecturing) About Holland Martini & Maria Vorovich Holland Martini and Maria Vorovich are the co-founders of Good Ques, widely known as the anti-research research company. Having met while working in strategy and data at Grey New York, they bonded over a shared frustration with stale industry jargon and rigid methodologies.

Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., delivering breakthrough consumer insights for global brands like Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Adobe, TikTok, and Meta.

On the MamasteFit Podcast, Gina (perinatal fitness trainer/birth doula) and Roxanne (certified nurse midwife) interview Kendra, an ICU nurse and mom of three, as she shares two epidural births and her third hospital birth—unmedicated—with doula support. She reflects on initially skipping childbirth prep, feeling disconnected while pushing with a strong epidural, and later attempting an unmedicated induction during COVID that ended in an epidural after she yelled the safe word (only to be fully dilated right after). Between babies, Kendra describes an early pregnancy loss with little support, then fertility testing and Clomid before conceiving baby #3. Kendra switched to a midwife-friendly hospital, used pelvic floor prep, a TENS unit, music “DJ” duties for her partner, minimal cervical checks, and achieved her goal of delivering without an epidural, followed by solid postpartum care and breastfeeding.00:00 Podcast Introduction01:42 Kendra Background Prep04:30 First Birth Epidural06:42 Reflecting Informed Consent07:53 Second Birth Unmedicated Goal11:57 Induction Tapping Out15:03 Miscarriage Care Gaps18:59 Fertility Workup Clomid23:20 Pregnancy After Loss25:34 Doula Course Prep33:11 Switching To Midwives35:40 Birth Plan Details36:41 Pregnancy Ups and Downs39:20 Early Labor at Home45:11 Heading to the Hospital46:45 Admitted and Settling In50:22 Transition and Coping56:01 Pushing and Surprise Girl59:26 Golden Hour and Aftercare01:01:48 Postpartum Recovery01:05:11 Advice and Wrap Up————

Title: Sobriety - Another Non-AA Path Episode OverviewAfter a quick shoutout to a new listener in Bangladesh, Mike and Glenn dive into a candid conversation about the diverse paths to recovery. While AA works miraculously for many, this episode highlights that it isn't the only way to get sober. They sit down with Dean Newcomb, a certified CCR recovery coach celebrating 18 years of sobriety, to discuss his unique, non-AA journey. Facing rural isolation and an unwelcoming initial meeting, Dean built his own customized program rooted in a direct, personal relationship with his higher power—bypassing the "middleman" of rigid religious expectations.  Key Highlights & TakeawaysReligion vs. Spirituality: The discussion breaks down the vital distinction between man-made religious rules (the "purple robe people") and cultivating a genuine relationship with a creator. Dean shares how finding God in nature, rather than a church basement, became the cornerstone of his early recovery.The Shift from Pain to Fulfillment: Early sobriety is often driven by the immediate need to avoid pain and consequences. However, as Glenn, Mike, and Dean all note, long-term recovery is sustained by a desire for more out of life. Sobriety isn't just about stopping the bad; it's about actively filling the void with family, education, and genuine experiences.Advice for the Newcomer: Dean outlines three actionable steps for anyone currently struggling:1.      Get Honest: Completely admit to yourself that you have lost control. 2.      Connect Higher: Begin building a relationship with your higher power.3.      Speak Up: Ask for help. Even if you can't get to a meeting, find just one person willing to listen to your story. Guest InformationDean is a certified CCR recovery coach and life coach specializing in helping people who need flexible recovery programs that fit into demanding lives. Listeners can connect with him and read his story on LinkedIn.  or at his website:

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn't the last thing she'd ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn't realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.    Felecia gets specific about what "social impact investing" actually means, walks through her food desert grocery store project in Tulsa, and breaks down her own portfolio, from assisted living homes to water tech startups. She closes with the advice she wishes someone had given her before 2008: get educated, find mentors, and never go it alone.    00:00 - Meet Dr. Felecia Froe and What Social Impact Investing Really Means 04:11 - An Accidental Start: From Medical Practice to First Deal 12:09 - Real Estate as a Financial Escape Hatch 19:46 - Solving Food Deserts and Rethinking Affordable Housing 26:22 - A Diversified Portfolio and the Power of Community 36:45 - Lessons From 2008 and Advice for the Next Generation You've worked hard to build your career.

If you told a young Javier Simons that he would one day own his own talent agency and hold an MBA from Rice Business, he would have been in disbelief.Growing up in Panama, Javier's path into the music industry was anything but conventional, he says. After years of waiting tables, Javier taught himself the business of entertainment from backstage, and fell in love with the in's and out's of talent booking and artist management. It was this passion that drove him to creating KOQ Agency, a global touring and talent agency representing independent artists. With the help of an MBA from Rice Business, Javier has scaled KOQ internationally, even booking Danish band Aqua's first U.S. tour.Javier joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to talk about his path from club promoting to entrepreneur, what it really takes to build an artist's career from the ground up, how the MBA gave him the financial and leadership toolkit he was missing, what leading the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference meant to him, and why staying “delusional” is the key to chasing and achieving your dreams.Episode Guide:00:00 Javier Simons Introduction01:03 Early Spark for Live Entertainment03:59 Hard Knocks Education06:53 Founding KOQ Agency09:42 Earning Artist Trust12:30 Booking Aqua U.S. Tour18:16 Riders and Show Crises21:06 Leadership at Denver Pride23:37 Why Rice MBA26:01 Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference Legacy29:01 Advice for Breaking Into The Music IndustryThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On taking the risks to discover your potential15:20: One of the things that entrepreneurs need to have is take the risk, because I didn't know my full potential until I did that. Once I did Aqua, that's when I realized that there was no challenge big or small enough that I couldn't achieve. It was really an eye-opening moment, especially when I was going through launch week and starting my first semester of the MBA program. And I remember texting my, my core team at 5:00 AM. I said, "If you see me with bags under my eyes and you don't hear from me until 5:30 before class, this is why." And I sent them the poster of the tour before it had released, and they were so supportive. They were, they were very excited. I think in general, I was the only person working in music, so it was kind of fascinating to them to see somebody that was kind of working a field that I don't think anybody in my, in my cohort was, was working. I took them on a journey with me.What we call delusion as an adult is what a kid calls a dream28:19: What we call delusion as an adult is what a kid calls a dream, you know? And we always need to keep dreaming. I think as adults, we tend to not dream anymore. We tend to just go by facts and figures and, and analytics and, and understanding what the results and predictability and we really lose that charm, that innocence that really drove us when we were young to do things that we would never thought we could do. And I know that this is the beginning of something great, because I feel a big change coming.What's the biggest misconception artists have about building a sustainable career?36:07: I think the biggest misconception artists have is that there is only one pathway to monetize their art, and that is not true. A musician can monetize their music five different ways. Through publishing, through licensing, through live events, and ancillary revenue can be merchandised through the image of the artist and brand partnerships, of course. And there's also the element of music writing and being a producer, right? So learn how your art can be monetized. Don't record a song and throw it on, on SoundCloud and hope that it sticks.Show Links: Championing Diversity from Concerts to Classrooms: Meet Javier Simons, Professional MBA Student | Rice Business, Student StoriesTranscriptGuest Profile:Javier Simons | Rice BusinessJavier Simons | LinkedIn

Join our next FASO Show Live!https://artists.boldbrush.com/p/the-faso-showLearn the magic of marketing  with us here at BoldBrush!boldbrushshow.com--For today's episode we sat down with Rich Nelson, a signature member of both the Portrait Society of America and Oil Painters of America, with a career that grew out of an unlikely start playing in a rock band before formal illustration training pulled him toward fine art. In this episode, he breaks down Sargent's blunt advice that you can't shortcut your way into portraiture: you have to become a real, all-around artist first, mastering anatomy, landscape, and still life before you ever specialize.  He'll also make you rethink what goes in your portfolio, with a simple rule: never show work you don't want to get hired to do more of, because clients will always call back asking for exactly what they saw. And he shares the deceptively simple habit that's opened more doors for him than almost anything else: reaching out to other artists and asking real questions, and maybe even visiting their studio. If you're anywhere near Tryon, North Carolina, don't miss Rich's stacked 42-piece solo show at the Tryon Fine Arts Center — up through October 17th and almost entirely painted from life. And this October, his Plein Air Painters of the East crew rolls into Charleston for a week that culminates in a can't-miss group show at the Meyer Vogel Gallery. Rich's FASO site:richardchristiannelson.com/Rich's Social Media:instagram.com/richardchristiannelson/facebook.com/RichardChristianNelson/Rich's YouTube Channel:youtube.com/@richnelsonpainterRich's Band:richnelsonband.com/
