“People want human connection more than anything. They want the transformation.” –Amanda KijekI'm really excited to talk with Amanda Kijek, who has helped me so much with launches and challenges. She moved from a brick and mortar business to the line world and helps entrepreneurs launch and make 10K months and beyond.After her own deep dive on marketing and spending too much money learning about it, she decided to create something for women who too busy, don't have a team, and don't know how to hire someone and train them — but want results and need the money.We get clear on what launching is — maybe not what you think — touch on building cold leads, and really zooming in on your message.We talk about: What a launch is — something you can do over and overGetting past the trust recession by letting people try you on in personExplaining what you do in the simplest terms — and in relation to what people actually needAdding “So you can …” to the ends of you description of what you doStarting conversations and leading people to the next conversation pointSharing vulnerable things from your lifeABOUT AMANDAAmanda Kijek helps already-successful coaches stop hustling for one-off sales and scale to consistent 10K+ months without ads, overwhelm, or tech headaches.She's a best-selling author, CEO of Amanda Kijek Coaching, and the creator of the 5-phase Peaceful Launch framework and Profit Accelerator Mastermind—programs that have helped hundreds of coaches build stable 6-figure businesses with repeatable, timeless strategies.With 23 years of entrepreneurial experience—from brick-and-mortar to online—Amanda built the system she wished existed as a new mom: one that gets clients now and is actually done-for-you and with you. She runs her multiple 6-figure business in under 15 hours a week and is passionate about helping other coaches scale without sacrificing family, freedom, or peace.LINKShttps://amandakijek.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/profitablemompreneurhttps://www.instagram.com/amandakijek/?hl=enhttps://ca.linkedin.com/in/amandakijekcoachDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:MAKE YOUR MESSAGE REALLY CLEAR. Think about what's keeping your clients up at night, what they are Googling. Don't use your expert language. Keep it really simple. And add “so that you …” to the end of your message to help the client see the results.SHARE SOMETHING VULNERABLE. We all want deeper connection, and when we share something vulnerable, it helps people connect with us. Aim for once or twice a month. But your first step: Make the first vulnerable post.PRACTICE BEING CONSISTENT. Instead of trying to come up with something new to post, seek different examples, anecdotes, or other ways to tell people again what you you do. Your message should be consistent. It might even

This episode is for SaaS founders tired of the "grow at all costs" playbook—who suspect there's power in saying no to the wrong customers.Most SaaS companies don't fail because of bad product. They fail because they try to please everyone. Martin Balaam, CEO of Pimberly, chose restraint over reach. Former physicist turned serial entrepreneur, he'd already scaled and exited Jigsaw24 at 3x returns. At Pimberly, he refuses customers his team can't delight—even when they're ready to sign.And this inspired me to invite Martin to my podcast. We explore how qualifying customers as rigorously as they qualify you creates compound advantages. Martin shares hard-won insights about why he walked away from license-only models, when to choose service depth over customer volume, and what happens when you give your product roadmap to customers instead of VCs. You'll discover why maintaining sub-5% churn matters more than doubling growth rates.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Aim to be different, not just betterFocus on the essenceMartin's story is proof that sustainable SaaS growth comes from doing what others call unscalable.Here's one of Martin's quotes that captures his contrarian philosophy:"I really don't want to lose customers. I know from my life experience how much time and effort, blood, sweat, and tears you have in trying to acquire a customer. We'll openly put our hand up and say I can't see that this is actually gonna add the value—even though they might be happy to sign."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why saying no to willing customers protects your businessWhat "VIP leads" actually means (hint: not big orders)When founder-led sales should naturally transitionWhy physical presence beats remote-first for market entryFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Martin Balaam, CEO & Founder PimberlyWebsite: pimberly.com

Recent studies recommend eating about 0.3 to 0.4 g protein per kg of body weight (20 to 40 g for most adults) within two hours after training for optimal recovery Aim for around 2 to 3 g leucine in that dose to robustly trigger muscle protein synthesis A new Texas A&M clinical trial in tactical athletes reports better recovery markers after intense training when animal-protein meals were used versus plant-based meals with equal total protein Pairing protein with carbohydrates helps speed glycogen refueling across the next four to six hours Older adults generally benefit from the higher end of the per-meal range (approximately 0.4 g/kg)

How's your credit score? Is it in tip-top shape, or maybe it could use a little bit of love? The fact is that your credit score is one of the most important financial metrics we use today and how we manage and nurture it makes a huge difference in shaping your financial opportunities. By managing and improving it, you can secure better loan terms and lower interest rates, paving the way for a healthier financial future.   Links: Explore the identity protecting benefits of a Better Checking account Disputing Errors on Your Credit Reports | Consumer Advice Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   A credit score might seem like a mysterious three-digit number, but it holds significant influence over your financial life. Whether you're applying for a loan or a credit card, renting an apartment, or even setting up utilities, your credit score plays a crucial role in the decisions that lenders, landlords, and service providers make. Your credit is a valuable asset, and credit score awareness can be a crucial piece in overall financial wellness and identity theft protection. In this tip, we want to remind account holders of the importance of understanding credit scores and provide some tips to help them improve and maintain a healthy credit score.   What Is a Credit Score?   Simply put, a credit score is like a grade for how good you are at managing money. It is one of the most important tools that lenders and financial institutions use to assess the risk of lending money to you. A higher credit score indicates a healthy credit history; therefore, a lower credit risk, making you more appealing to potential creditors. Credit scores typically range from 300 to 850, with higher scores being better, indicating that you have consistently made payments on time to satisfy your credit obligations. While a "good" credit score varies based on the lender and the specifics of the loan request, it is typically around 700 or higher. Once your score is over 760, you may expect to be offered the best available rates. Credit agencies refresh scores once a month, but the exact timing of those updates may vary based on a myriad of factors.  How Is a Credit Score Calculated?   You might be surprised to learn that you can have multiple different credit scores at the same time. Based on where the lender obtained their data (from one, two, or all three credit reporting agencies), the credit score model that is used, the lender's own criteria for issuing credit, and the timing of when the score was produced. A hypothetical scenario for calculating a credit score might weigh the following factors this way:  Payment History (35%): This is the most important part. It's like getting a gold star for paying bills on time. If you pay on time, your score goes up. If you miss payments, it goes down.  Credit Utilization (30%): Imagine you have a money jar, and you use only a little bit of it. That's good for your score. But if you use a lot of it, it's not so good. This measures how much of your available credit you're using.  Length of Credit History (15%): The longer you've had credit (like a credit card or loan), the better. It's like experience points. More experience means a higher score.  Credit Mix (10%): Having different types of credit, like credit cards and loans, can be like having a diverse team. It's good for your score, but you don't need to have them all.  New Credit (10%): Every time you apply for new credit, like a loan or a credit card, it can slightly lower your score. Too many applications at once can hurt your score.  Lenders will also look at other factors, such as your income, your assets, or how long you have been at your current job. Note that a high credit score isn't the only sign of financial health. An individual who chooses to use cash or debit cards for major purchases rather than taking out loans will likely have a lower credit score than someone with a long record of multiple well-managed debts, even though they may be very financially responsible.      Why Does Your Credit Score Matter?   Getting Credit: When you need to borrow money, like for a credit card or a car loan, lenders look at your credit score. If it's high, they're more likely to say yes. Plus, you might get lower interest rates, which means you pay less in the long run.  Interest Rates: A good credit score can mean lower interest rates on loans and credit cards. Lower interest rates save you money, so it's a win.  Renting a Home: Landlords often check your credit score when you apply to rent an apartment. A good score can help you get the place you want.  Utility Bills: Some companies might look at your credit score before deciding if you need to pay a deposit for things like electricity and water.  Job Opportunities: Some jobs, especially those handling money, check your credit as part of the hiring process. A good credit score can make you more attractive to employers.  For those interested, here are 9 Tips to Improve Your Credit Score  Pay Bills on Time: Make sure you pay your bills by their due dates. Set up reminders or automatic payments to help you stay on track. Manage Credit Cards Wisely: Keep your credit card balances low compared to your credit limits. Aim to use less than 30% of your available credit. Pay off your credit card bills in full whenever you can. Mix Different Types of Credit: Having different types of credit, like credit cards, loans, and mortgages, can boost your score. Only open new credit when you really need it. Don't Close Old Accounts: The longer you've had credit, the better. So, avoid closing old credit card accounts, especially if they have high credit limits. Deal with Problems: If you have late payments or debts in collections on your credit report, work on fixing them. Pay off debts in collections and ask creditors to remove them, if possible. Ask for a Credit Limit Increase: If you've been good at paying your credit card bills, consider asking for a higher credit limit. Having a higher credit limit could reduce your total credit utilization, which can help your credit score. Be Careful with New Credit Inquiries and Too Many New Accounts: Every time you apply for new credit, it leaves a mark on your credit report. Too many marks can hurt your score, so be careful about applying for credit often. Likewise, opening lots of new credit accounts in a short time can worry lenders and lower your score. Only open new accounts when you need them. Check Your Credit Report Regularly: Dispute any errors you find in writing to all three credit bureaus. You'll want to include the credit bureau's dispute form as well as any supporting documentation and be sure to keep copies of everything you send. You can find sample letters and more information about how to file a credit dispute in an article from the Federal Trade Commission (link will be in the show notes.)  Stay Alert for Signs of Identity Theft: All the work you do to improve your credit score could be thwarted by someone who has stolen your personal identifying information to take out loans in your name. Review your credit report and watch for any signs of identity theft to ensure your credit score is impacted by only your own financial behavior. If you find evidence of identity fraud in your credit report, remember, we can help. Members with a Triangle Better Checking account with IDProtect, have access to Identity Theft Resolution Advocates who are standing by to dispute fraudulent activity that might damage their credit standing.      Build a Credit Score Without Debt  Young adults and those who have never had a need for credit may not want to go into debt but want to build their credit score. Here are a couple of ways that you can build your credit score without debt.  Apply for a credit-builder loan, which places the money you borrow into a certificate of deposit (CD) or savings account that you can claim after making 12 monthly payments.   Apply for a secured credit card, which gives you a line of credit that is backed by a cash deposit.  Remember, with your Better Checking account, you are entitled to receive convenient access to your TransUnion® credit score monthly. Your score is tracked on a timeline to help identify unexpected changes in your score's movement that could indicate identity theft.  Plus, with a Better Checking account, you have access to your annual credit report.

Maternal safety changes when we stop relying on heroics and start building systems. We open the door to the 2025 APSF Stolting Conference series with a fast, practical tour of what truly reduces morbidity and mortality: collaboration across anesthesia, obstetrics, cardiology, and nursing; open‑source AIM bundles; early warning tools; and standards that compress time-to-treatment when minutes matter. Along the way, we confront the three deadly D's—denial, delay, dismissal—and replace them with teamwork, tools, timeliness, and trust.We dig into the history that got us here, from case reports and confidential inquiries to robust maternal mortality review committees and rapid-cycle data that power real change. Then, we zero in on the leading cause of pregnancy-related death—cardiovascular disease—and why risk spikes in the postpartum period. A vivid case of peripartum cardiomyopathy shows how quickly decompensation unfolds and why anesthesia must be in the room early: shaping plans, managing hemodynamics, placing monitors, coordinating with cardiology and OB, and, when needed, activating ECMO. We highlight actionable steps like antenatal anesthesia consults for high‑risk patients, postpartum telemetry monitoring, and pregnancy heart teams that make escalation the rule, not the exception.Progress is real for hemorrhage and hypertension, but disparities remain stark for Black, Hispanic, and Asian Pacific Islander patients. We talk about implicit bias, access, and respectful care, and we share multilingual urgent maternal warning signs so patients and clinicians recognize danger sooner. The ASA's recommendations give a clear roadmap for anesthesiologist leadership—on review committees, quality teams, simulation programs, and implementation of SOAP and ACOG frameworks—so that safety becomes predictable.If this conversation sparks ideas for your unit, we'd love to hear them. Subscribe, share with a colleague who works on labor and delivery, and leave a review telling us the one system change you'll champion this month.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/276-maternal-care-transformed/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

In this first of a two-part series, hosts Dr. Bob Thomas and Dr. Aimée Thomas dive into the secret life of oysters with Dr. Earl Melancon — one of the most prominent voices in oyster science and Louisiana's commercial fishing world. A Professor Emeritus at Nicholls State University and current Louisiana Sea Grant Scholar, Earl has spent more than 50 years studying the biology, ecology, and culture of oysters alongside the oystermen who harvest them.Together, they explore the natural history of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica — how these remarkable creatures build their shells, change sex as they grow, filter vast amounts of water, and survive a gauntlet of predators in Louisiana's estuaries. From microscopic larvae to full-grown reef builders, this episode reveals the biology behind one of the coast's most iconic species — and a foundation of Louisiana's ecology and culture.Stay tuned for Part 2, where the conversation turns to the human side of oysters — the people, traditions, and challenges of the industry that depends on them.Follow @SoNatPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Visit our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have any more questions about nature?

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Dennis Underwood, founder of Cyber Crucible, a cybersecurity software company transforming how businesses manage digital risk. Dennis shares his journey from government contracting to building a global SaaS powerhouse generating $1.2 million in recurring revenue with a lean 10-person team. He discusses the challenges of bootstrapping, the power of automation, and his mission to reshape cybersecurity through innovation and AI. Packed with lessons on leadership, resilience, and sustainable growth, this episode offers a masterclass in scaling a tech business the smart way. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dennis Underwood, the hardest thing in growing a small business is letting go of someone who's doing a good job but no longer fits the company's evolving needs. He explains that as a product company grows and its focus shifts, even capable and loyal team members might not align with new directions. Making those tough decisions—especially without a “services bench” to reassign people—is one of the most challenging yet necessary parts of leadership and sustainable growth. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dennis Underwood's favorite business book that has helped him the most is Ready, Fire, Aim. He says it changed his perspective on perfectionism and speed in business. Early on, he focused too much on building the perfect product before going to market—a mindset that worked in government projects but not in fast-moving business environments. The book taught him that customers don't expect perfection; they value progress and adaptability. This lesson helped him launch faster, learn from feedback, and grow Cyber Crucible more effectively. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Dennis Underwood, a great way to grow a small business is by constantly learning from practical, real-world insights. He recommends checking out resources like Y Combinator's startup library, which offers valuable articles for founders, and following industry experts on LinkedIn—especially those who challenge conventional thinking and share unfiltered lessons from experience. For podcasts, he values shows like Grow A Small Business, The How of Business, and Masters of Scale, which feature actionable strategies, founder stories, and mindset shifts for entrepreneurs. These platforms, along with consistent self-education and reflection, help business owners stay grounded, adaptable, and ahead of the curve. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Dennis Underwood recommends using tools that enhance automation, efficiency, and clarity in business operations. He highlights Google Gemini as a powerful AI resource for generating content, refining documentation, and improving communication. By uploading company materials and analyzing AI feedback, he identifies areas needing clearer messaging. For small businesses, he believes leveraging such intelligent tools helps streamline processes, boost productivity, and strengthen strategic growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Dennis Underwood's advice to his younger self on day one of starting out in business would be to have the courage to move faster and fully commit to his vision. He admits he stayed too long in the comfort of government contracting because it felt secure, even though his goals were in commercial software. He says he should have moved out of Washington, D.C. earlier, left behind the “golden handcuffs” of steady contracts, and focused completely on building his product company. His biggest lesson—don't let familiarity or fear delay your leap into the business you truly want to build.

When it comes to bone health, we often talk about calcium, vitamin D, or strength training — but few people realize that strong bones actually begin in the gut. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explores one of the most overlooked root causes of bone loss and osteoporosis: poor digestion.Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it's not just what you eat—it's what you absorb.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy digestion is the foundation of bone healthThe step-by-step “mouth to bones” process of nutrient absorptionSigns your digestive system may not be working properlyHow poor digestion and inflammation trigger bone lossThe role of the gut-bone axis in osteoporosis and osteopeniaSimple, practical steps to support healthy digestion and stronger bonesAction StepsSlow down when eating. Take deep breaths and eat in a calm, mindful state to support proper digestion.Chew your food thoroughly. Digestion begins in the mouth—help your enzymes do their job.Stay hydrated, but skip large drinks during meals. Avoid diluting stomach acid.Add more fiber.

This quick, hope-filled Saddle Up distills my full conversation with my surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth O'Leary, into practical steps you can take this week. Early detection saves lives. Courage + a simple plan = peace.What You'll LearnWhy early detection changes everythingThe 25-year-old high-risk assessment every woman should know aboutWhat to do if you have dense breasts (better imaging options)Lifestyle levers that actually move the needle (movement, stress, alcohol, steady nutrition)A simple prayer + mindset script to calm anxietyTime-Stamped Guide (approx.)00:00 — Why this episode matters (hope > fear)01:00 — Appointments to make + when to start02:00 — High-risk assessment at 25: what it is, who needs it03:30 — Dense breasts: mammogram + MRI/ultrasound strategy04:30 — Lifestyle that helps: movement, steady nutrition, stress, alcohol06:00 — Mindset + prayer to carry you throughThe Saddle Up Checklist (pick 1–3)Book your mammogram (start at 40; sooner if high-risk).Forward this to a 25–35 year-old you love and nudge a high-risk assessment.Dense breasts? Message your provider about alternating mammogram + MRI based on your risk.Choose one lever: add a 20-minute walk, swap one drink for sparkling water, or add protein + plants to lunch.Write & carry this prayer:“God, I'm placing my health in Your hands. Lead me to the right steps and the right people. Give me courage to act and peace to rest.”Key TakeawaysEarly > easy. Catch it early and treatment is often simpler—and curative.No family history? Still go. ~80% of women diagnosed have no family history.Personalize it. Dense breasts and/or higher risk may mean different imaging.Small habits help. Aim toward ~300 min/week of movement, include strength, keep nutrition steady, reduce alcohol, and prioritize sleep + stress care.Peace is possible. You don't need perfect—just the next faithful step.Favorite Quote“Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's acting with peace anyway.”About Our GuestDr. Elizabeth O'Leary is a breast surgeon and founder of Lady Slipper Breast Center with locations in St. Paul, St. Louis Park, and Edina.

A story about winning by not competing—and why saying no creates speedThis episode is for SaaS founders who feel the weight of building something that matters—and wonder if being contrarian is worth the risk.Most software companies fail because they rush to market without questioning what they're building. They see opportunity and chase it.David Villalon, CEO of Maisa, saw the AI gold rush differently. When everyone was building faster, he spent a year building trust into the foundation. He recognized that when you can see the future—truly see it—you carry responsibility for building it right, not just first.And this inspired me to invite David to my podcast. We explore why making AI accountable matters more than making it powerful. David shares hard-won insights about choosing regulated industries first, empowering task-doers instead of technical teams, and why he positions his company to compound value from every AI model maker instead of competing with them. You'll discover why focusing on one customer before ten creates the foundation for horizontal growth.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Aim to be different, not just betterOffer something valuable and desirableDavid's story is proof that vision without responsibility is just opportunism—and real founders feel the weight of building the future right.Here's one of David's quotes that captures his entrepreneurial philosophy:"Whenever you have success, what you're going to hear is everyone saying how good you are. But if you act without that ego, without wanting to become something that you are not, everything looks much better."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:When to compound competitors' value instead of fightingWhat happens when you empower task-doers, not techniciansWhy first principles thinking requires empathy, not just logicWhen everyone wanting your product means stay focusedFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: David Villalon, CEO MaisaWebsite: https://maisa.ai

Being a working mother means you're constantly switching gears, leading at work, nurturing at home, and trying to keep a little energy for yourself. It's no wonder your hormones can feel off-balance. The truth is, your hormones respond to the way you live your daily life, including your rest, nutrition, physical activity, and even your social connections, as outlined in the SPOKE model.Key Takeaways:The SPOKE ModelS – Stay Connected Nurture relationships that fill you up. Genuine connection lowers cortisol and boosts oxytocin — your natural stress reliever.P – Prioritise Rest Sleep is your nightly hormone reset. Aim for consistent rest so melatonin can do its job.O – Optimise Nutrition Fuel your body with real foods. Each meal helps balance insulin and other hormones naturally.K – Keep Moving Find joy in movement. A few minutes of walking or stretching can boost endorphins, regulate energy, and steady your mood.E – Eliminate ToxinsReduce exposure to chemicals in plastics, cleaners, and beauty products. Your liver and your hormones will thank you.CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ig- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drdunni.lifecoach/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CH- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/drdunni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HOST BIOYour host, Dr Dunni, is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

Pasta. Chips. Nuggets. Repeat. If your neurodivergent child lives on a diet of white and yellow foods, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson sits down with paediatric dietitian Karina Savage to unpack why fussy eating is so common in autistic and ADHD kids — and what you can actually do to help them expand their diet without battles, bribes or tears. You’ll learn how to lower pressure, build trust around food, and make progress (even if it’s just one new bite at a time). KEY POINTS Start where your child’s at. Understand the sensory, anxiety, or familiarity issues behind food refusal. Safe foods first. Keep trusted foods on the plate, and gently introduce “test foods” nearby (but not touching). No pressure, no panic. Play with food, don’t police it — mealtimes should feel safe, not stressful. Tiny changes matter. Shift from white to wholemeal, add fibre, and celebrate every small win. Watch additives. Processed colours and preservatives can worsen attention and behaviour in neurodivergent kids. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Food play in a non-pressured environment builds familiarity and trust — and that’s how progress happens.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Nourish with Karina — Karina Savage’s website and membership for parentsHappy Families — for more tools to help your family thrive ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS List your child’s “safe foods.” Use this as your base for every meal. Add one “test food” on the side — no pressure to try it. Create calm mealtimes. Avoid forcing or bribing; instead, offer food play and choice. Model variety. Let your child see you enjoying colourful, balanced foods. Aim for progress, not perfection. A little more colour on the plate is a big win. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SummaryPart two of Clark's practical “Lessons Learned” series—from an old slide deck that still packs a punch. We cover why mission must lead your conversations, how to cultivate until the “yes” is likely, the art of listening (and how to measure it), why the case must be bigger than your organization, and the simple discipline of getting in the living room, not just the inbox.What You'll LearnLead with mission, not programs: Define the problem you exist to solve; then show how your programs are the vehicle.Money isn't the problem: Relational deficit > budget deficit. Build the relationship that makes the gift obvious.Change lives, not line items: Donors give to impact. Your job is to articulate how lives change uniquely through you.Listen like a pro: Aim to speak far less than you listen; measure it after each meeting to improve.Don't be flippant with the ask: Cultivate and ask—don't “just ask.” Ask when a “yes” is likely.Emotion moves big gifts: Logic opens the door; emotion carries the gift over the threshold.Meet with both spouses: If both aren't in the room, your best arguments will go unanswered.Make the case bigger than your org: Community, nation, world—then your distinctive role.Treat giving as a habit to build: Start small with first-time or reluctant givers; grow over time.Recognition matters (even if it's “no recognition”): Always ask and align.Choose the living room over lunch: Fewer interruptions, clearer decisions.Prior donors predict future gifts: Steward yesterday's givers to cultivate tomorrow's.Never take insiders for granted: Keep building the drama for board and volunteers, too.Do your homework: Know their giving, interests, and context before you meet.You must ask: After real cultivation, make the clear, specific ask.Practical ToolsAdd this to every visit report: “% of time I talked vs. % donor talked.” What you measure improves.Pre-visit prep checklist: giving history, household context, mutual connections, LinkedIn scan, recent news.Quotable Moments“Listen. Listen intently. Listen even more intently.” — Jerry Panas“I never give because there's a need. I give because I'm interested and I believe I can make a real difference.” — as referenced in the episodeRelatedLessons Learned in Major Gifts Fundraising (Part 1)Links & ResourcesMajor Gifts Fundraiser services and trainings: majorgiftsfundraiser.comTry the Clarkbot (AI coaching, prompts, and role-play): majorgiftsfundraiser.comContactHave a question or want feedback on an upcoming ask?

AI is transforming how we create content, but there's also a growing problem: AI slop. It's the flood of auto-generated videos, images, and text that takes up space without adding value; and we're seeing it everywhere. So how do you use AI to enhance your work without the noise? Host Matt Pierce introduces TechSmith's HUMAN Framework, a practical approach to keeping the human element at the center of AI-assisted content creation. We hear why your expertise and lived experience gives you access to nuance that AI can't replicate, how authenticity has become currency in content creation, and why treating AI as a thought partner rather than a replacement leads to better outcomes. Matt also shares TechSmith's philosophy on AI integration, including their approach to control and customization in tools like Camtasia AI. While AI is the worst it's ever going to be (meaning it will only get better), the choices we make now about how we use it will determine whether we're creating valuable content or just more noise.

The conversation emphasizes practical tips for incorporating gut-friendly foods into daily meals and the significance of diversity in diet for optimal gut function.TakeawaysYou don't need expensive supplements to support your microbiome.The gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.Good gut health is crucial for digestion, immune function, and mood.Different foods can encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.Fiber acts as food for gut bacteria, promoting their health.Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestive health.Prebiotics are the food that healthy bacteria feed on.Incorporating a variety of foods can enhance gut microbiome diversity.Aim for 30 different plant foods each week for optimal gut health.Simple changes in diet can lead to significant improvements in gut health.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Gut Health and Nutrition02:58 Understanding the Gut Microbiome05:57 The Role of Food in Gut Health09:04 Key Foods for a Healthy Gut12:02 The Importance of Fiber and Probiotics14:50 Practical Tips for Incorporating Gut-Healthy Foods18:10 Conclusion and Key Takeaways

A story about finding opportunity in the moments everyone else ignores.This episode is for founders questioning whether their personal frustration is worth building a business around.Most SaaS companies don't fail because of bad tech. They fail because they solve problems that don't actually hurt.Ken Rapp, CEO of Blustream, took a different path. When his $2,000 guitar cracked, he didn't blame himself—he questioned why no brand had ever taught him prevention. That question led to a 10-year journey building what didn't exist.And this inspired me to invite Ken to my podcast. We explore how solving your own problem first gives you conviction others lack. Ken shares why he spent years on IoT sensors before realizing the real problem was human connection, not data collection. You'll discover why category creation takes a decade—not because building is hard, but because changing behavior is harder.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – Focus on the essence – Aim to be differentKen's story is proof that unmet needs hide in plain sight—we just learn to live with them.Here's one of Ken's quotes that captures his key insight:"Once your customer is at home, that's the moment where they will be most vulnerable, and that curve of emotional connection to you drops. It's almost like the buyer's remorse is setting in. You're all excited to go home with the product, or to open the product, and right there is when you really need to conquer that new product and make it a habit, and really get what you were hoping and dreaming for out of the product. But there's no connection between you and the company."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why personal problems make the best businessesWhen to pivot from technology to psychologyWhy categories emerge from nerve strikes, not planningWhat 100 customer interviews actually teach youFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Ken Rapp, CEO & Founder of BlustreamWebsite: blustream.io

Investing can feel overwhelming with all the strategies, opinions, and noise out there. That's why in this episode, I break down eight simple, time-tested rules of thumb that will help you cut through the confusion and make smarter decisions with your money. These aren't rigid formulas—they're practical guidelines to keep you on track whether you're just getting started or fine-tuning your portfolio. From understanding how long it takes your money to double, to calculating your “freedom number,” to knowing whether to prioritize retirement or college savings, these rules will help you create clarity and confidence in your financial journey. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [0:54] – Rule #1: The Rule of 72—how long it takes for your money to double [2:00] – Rule #2: Why you'll only need about 70% of your income in retirement [2:46] – Rule #3: How to calculate your “freedom number” with the 4% rule [3:11] – Rule #4: Safe withdrawal rates in retirement (why I lean conservative) [3:52] – Rule #5: Net worth benchmarks by age and income [4:33] – Rule #6: Asset allocation by age—and why risk tolerance matters more [5:52] – Rule #7: Always take the 401(k) match—it's free money [6:32] – Rule #8: Child's education vs. retirement (and why retirement comes first) Key Takeaways Money Compounds Faster Than You Think – Use the Rule of 72 to visualize long-term growth. Retirement Needs Less Than You Earn Now – Strategic withdrawals and fewer expenses change the math. Put Yourself First – You can borrow for college, but you can't borrow for retirement. Quotables “You can get scholarships for school—but you can't get scholarships for retirement.” “Aim to have your investments double every ten years at a bare minimum.” “Please don't listen to anyone who says you can pull 12% from your portfolio.

Over the past few years, I've heard several people suggest that "blogging is dead." However, one of my favorite coaching clients earns her primary income from her blog and also hosts retreats and an annual conference for an entire community of food bloggers who earn an income from their blogging efforts. So I invited my client, Megan Porta, and asked her the question, "Can you still make money blogging in 2025?" Short answer: Yes. It's doable. It looks different than it did a decade ago. It requires real passion, patience, and a focus on what serves readers right now. Below are thorough show notes to meet you exactly where you are. If you want to start or revive a blog as a real income stream, these notes double as a step-by-step primer. What This Episode Covers Why blogging still pays when you pair patience with passion Megan has seen brand-new bloggers “crushing it.” The difference now is you cannot fake it. Your readers and Google both know when you do. Authenticity wins. The fastest realistic path to first income Join a quality ad network once your traffic qualifies. We name the two big players and their current thresholds. We also discuss why Google SEO and Pinterest are still the two traffic pillars that move the needle. Niching way down to win Broad “everything” blogs struggle today. Specific sub-niches serve specific people and get rewarded. Think “vegan cakes” instead of “vegan.” The love for your topic has to show up in every post. The collaboration playbook for early momentum Smart email list swaps. Contributing value inside the right Facebook groups without spamming. How one helpful post can put a niche creator “on the map” in months. Income beyond ads Digital products. Memberships. Sponsorships. How to think about affiliate income post-HCU and what still works if you are selective. Platform and tech choices that save you pain Why WordPress.org with solid hosting is still the move. Why a VPS and proactive security matter. Real-world cautionary tales about updates, backups, and malware. Key Takeaways and Insights 1) Yes, you can still get paid to blog. The bar is higher. If you bring patience and genuine expertise, you can absolutely build an income today. People starting in the last year or two are succeeding. The difference is the landscape. Authenticity and user value must drive your strategy. 2) Niche inside the niche Winning examples are laser-specific. Pick a tight segment of a larger category, then become unmistakably helpful to that reader. This is how you break through and build trust. 3) Traffic plan: SEO and Pinterest first To qualify for premium ad networks, prioritize traffic that comes from search and Pinterest. Current thresholds discussed in the episode: Mediavine at roughly 50,000 sessions per month and Raptive at roughly 100,000 pageviews per month. Build to those numbers, then let ad RPMs start compounding. 4) Collaboration without spam Use email list collaborations. Show up consistently inside large, topic-relevant Facebook groups. Earn trust by answering questions with real substance. This moves traffic quickly when your niche is dialed in. 5) Create on-topic, helpful content Google's Helpful Content updates pushed bloggers to stay tightly aligned with user intent. Keep posts on point for your niche. Tangential personal stories and off-topic content dilute perceived expertise and can hurt discoverability. 6) Monetization mix that works in 2025 Display Ads once you hit network thresholds. This becomes semi-passive as your library grows. Digital Products as quick wins: ebooks, guides, weekly prep plans. These are simple to produce and match your audience's immediate needs. Memberships if your audience is invested. Price points in food niches commonly range from about 5 to 20 dollars per month, often for ad-free experiences or exclusive content. Tech options include WordPress setups and hosted communities such as Circle, Skool, Slack, Discord, Mighty Networks, and niche tools like Member Kitchens. Sponsorships when you can articulate your audience's value. Niche reach can beat raw follower counts if you understand a sponsor's acquisition economics and lifetime value. Affiliate Income is trickier after recent updates. It can still work at higher commissions or with premium offers. Treat it as a supplemental play, not your core plan. 7) Stack the tech in your favor Choose WordPress.org for full control, proven SEO flexibility, and extensibility. Invest in good hosting. A VPS with strong uptime guarantees is worth it. Expect to pay roughly 89 to 150 dollars per month for reliability that protects your revenue. Treat security and backups as non-negotiables. Plugins and themes require regular updates. Malware exploits often come from simple neglect. Have a pro who can restore fast. This avoids losing days or weeks or years of content. Practical Playbook Phase 1. Choose a narrow niche and validate demand List ten posts your ideal reader would save today. Ensure all are tightly aligned with one outcome your niche cares about. Keep stories and extras on-topic so Google sees topical authority. Phase 2. Protect the asset Run WordPress.org on a reliable VPS and keep everything updated. Assign backups and security to a pro so you do not risk outages or data loss. Phase 3. Build a traffic engine Publish high-quality posts that answer exact questions your audience asks. Optimize for search and create Pinterest assets for each post. Aim for Mediavine or Raptive thresholds to unlock ad revenue. Phase 4. Accelerate through collaboration Join large, relevant Facebook groups. Contribute substantial answers that stand on their own. Start tasteful email list collaborations for quick, qualified traffic. Phase 5. Layer monetization Add an easy digital product that solves a specific use case. Test a simple membership once engagement is strong. Pitch sponsors when you can quantify your audience's fit and value.

Why a Developer Legacy Matters A developer legacy is more than old code—it's the enduring value your work provides. Rob and Michael show how your professional footprint can guide teams long after you've left a project or company. Pro Tip: Adoption is the real metric of legacy. Aim for solutions people use every day. From Quick Fixes to Timeless Impact Move from “just closing tickets” to designing systems that stand the test of time. Readable, maintainable code with clear names and documentation. Robust testing so future developers can extend features confidently. Stable interfaces that prevent painful rewrites. Key Takeaway: Clean, tested code is the cornerstone of a lasting developer legacy. Open Source: A Fast Track to Developer Legacy Michael highlights how open source accelerates your developer legacy: Publish a reusable tool or library. Provide a five-minute “Getting Started” guide. Welcome contributions and feedback to refine your craft. Reminder: A well-documented repository is a résumé that never sleeps. Culture Outlives Code Rob emphasizes mentorship and collaborative culture as essential to any developer legacy: Mentor teammates to spread good practices. Host “mini hackathons” or team debugging sessions. Reward shared learning over individual heroics. Insight: Culture is the invisible code base that scales excellence. Milestones on the Legacy Path Every career has pivotal steps where legacy thinking grows: From first pull requests to defining team standards. From individual contributor to automation architect. From private successes to public tools and templates. Challenge: Ship one reusable script or CI template this week and invite team feedback—your first step toward a visible developer legacy. AI as a Legacy Multiplier AI can accelerate your developer legacy when treated as a partner: Draft tests or refactor with AI assistance. Summarize modules for quick onboarding docs. Share successful prompts as a team “AI playbook.” Final Takeaway A developer legacy is deliberate: thoughtful code, shared knowledge, and a culture of mentorship.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Marcia Kashani, a nurse and experienced healthcare improvement advisor, to explore practical strategies for making your clinical day more efficient, effective, and—most importantly—sustainable. Drawing on years of experience facilitating primary care transformation and team-based initiatives, Dr. Kashani shares stories of real-world success: from leveraging the strengths of every team member, to optimizing clinic workflows, and even reimagining how tasks get delegated to maximize value for both clinicians and patients. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a never-ending list of tasks, long wait times for appointments, or the challenge of figuring out what you can hand off—and to whom—this is an episode you won't want to miss. Dr. Smith and Dr. Kashani offer actionable insights into improving access, reducing unnecessary physician workload, and embracing change as a path to better care and a better work-life balance. Whether you're part of a large clinic or running a small practice, you'll find inspiration and hope for positive change right here. Tune in and take one step closer to reclaiming time for your patients—and yourself! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Empower Your Team: Distinguish between physician, nurse, and administrative tasks. When tasks are thoughtfully delegated—like patient screening calls or form-filling—clinicians can reclaim time for patient care and improve office efficiency. Reduce Unnecessary Visits: Examine return visit rates and consider whether clinical follow-ups always require physician attention. Thoughtful use of nurses, pharmacists, and even patients' support networks can safely reduce visit volumes and waiting times. Leverage Process Improvement: Document and map out workflows to highlight inefficiencies, duplications, and points of delay (like EMR optimization or referral processing). Even simple changes—like consistently titling scanned documents—deliver significant time savings for clinicians. Meet Dr. Marcia Kashani: Marcia has over 40 years of front-line nursing and progressive leadership experience in primary care, community care and acute care. Notable accomplishments include involvement in the business planning and governance of multiple Primary Care Networks in the Edmonton Zone. In 2005 her focus turned to Quality Improvement and System Redesign where she became the first non-physician AIM faculty, participating in several AIM collaboratives. She completed the Improvement Advisor Program through the Institute of Healthcare Improvement and continued as a facilitator for the program. Most recently, Marcia has been a project manager with the Edmonton Zone Primary Care Networks team and North Zone Primary Care Business Unit, including work with Transitions of Care, Specialty Access and Referral teams, and assisting Practice Facilitators with improvement initiatives.

Today we're diving into the ways our own trauma can shape how we show up as parents, and how we can begin to break those inherited cycles with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, a clinical child psychologist, trauma treatment expert, and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. In our conversation, Robyn shares insights from her book, including the concept of “secret ACEs,” the “trauma app” that can override our instincts, and the different subtypes of post-traumatic parenting. We also talk about how to recognize our triggers, the importance of self-care, and the role of the inner child in this work. Robyn's approach blends research, clinical wisdom, and lived experience, and she offers practical hacks for navigating the challenges of parenting when trauma is part of our story. About Dr. Robyn Koslowitz Dr. Robyn Koslowitz is a clinical child psychologist, trauma treatment expert, and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. As the founder of the Post-Traumatic Parenting model, Dr. Koslowitz helps parents break free from inherited patterns and become the parents their children—and their inner child—need. Her core message is simple yet profound: Your inner child can't raise a child, but raising your real-world child can heal your inner child. Dr. Koslowitz combines research-backed tools, clinical insights, and lived experience to help parents transform trauma into growth. As she says, Adulting is hard. Adulting is especially hard if you never childed.And parenting? That's adulting on steroids. Her “trauma app” metaphor has reached thousands, empowering parents to recognize and rewrite the patterns that no longer serve them—or their children.   Things you'll learn from this episode How trauma can shape parenting by acting as a mirror, map, and motivator for healing Why hidden or “secret” ACEs accumulate and impact the way parents show up with their children How children often reveal a parent's triggers, creating opportunities for growth and repair Why post-traumatic parenting can manifest in patterns like paralysis, perfectionism, or disengagement How healing begins with befriending our instincts and using the AIM method of acceptance, integration, and meaning-making Why self-care and play are essential tools for connection, regulation, and attunement in parenting Resources mentioned Dr. Robyn Koslowitz's website Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be by Dr. Robyn Koslowitz Post-Traumatic Parenting Podcast Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on Instagram Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on LinkedIn Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on Threads Dr. Robyn Koslowitz's YouTube channel Erik Erikson Georgie Wisen-Vincent on Unlocking Our Kids' Emotional Balance and Resilience with The Way of Play (Tilt Parenting podcast) The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Kind and Confident Kids by Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent Learn more about your ad choices.

Shawn Weber Today's FRESH NEW PODCAST: Dave Wager talks with sixth-grade math teacher and former youth pastor Shawn Weber about schooling, home life, and a child's heart. Using Proverbs 22:6 as the anchor, they dig into respect in the classroom, impulsivity driven by screens, and how parents can model leadership at home. Shawn explains why he serves in public schools, how Christian teachers quietly witness by the way they live, and how students can respectfully ask faith-forward questions. Dave urges parents to pray for teachers, speak with grace, and partner with the school instead of swiping people the way we swipe apps. Practical helps fill the hour. Ask better questions after school, not “What did you do?” but “Show me what you're working on.” Let kids teach you what they learned, set short, consistent homework routines, and use bedtime review to lock in memory. Keep AI in its place. Learning is the struggle that forms character, not outsourcing the answer. Aim for feedback, not judgment, when you look at grades. Above all, remember the path is about loving God, walking with Him, and helping your child grow in wisdom as you walk it together.
