Podcasts about aligning

January 2026 doesn't arrive quietly — it arrives with intention. In this episode, we explore the energetic tone of the month, the major planetary movements shaping your decisions, and why this is a powerful time to release outdated timelines and reclaim authority over your life. This is not about forcing resolutions or hustling your way into the new year. January asks you to slow down, listen deeper, and align with what is actually sustainable for you — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. You'll hear how the month's astrology supports long-term vision, disciplined intuition, and embodied leadership, plus what themes may be surfacing collectively and personally as we step into 2026. If you've felt called to reset, realign, and move forward with clarity rather than pressure — this episode is for you.   SUPPORT THIS PODCAST AND MY CONTENT WITH A DONATION: buymeacoffee.com/erussopmrp0 ⏱ Approximate Timestamps 00:00 – 02:30 Welcome + setting the energetic tone for January 2026 02:30 – 06:45 Why January feels different this year & the collective reset energy 06:45 – 13:30 Major planetary themes influencing January 2026 13:30 – 20:15 Emotional and intuitive lessons surfacing this month 20:15 – 26:30 How to work with the energy instead of forcing outcomes 26:30 – 32:00 Themes around boundaries, authority, and long-term vision 32:00 – 36:30 Practical ways to ground this energy in daily life 36:30 – 40:00 Final reflections + intuitive guidance for moving into February ✨ Key Themes Covered Collective reset energy for the start of 2026 Releasing pressure, timelines, and false urgency Building sustainability instead of burnout Embodied leadership and intuitive discipline Aligning goals with your nervous system, not just your mind

As a new year begins, many of us feel an unspoken pressure to do more, be better, or finally get it all right. But what if this season isn't asking you to become someone else—only to become aligned with who you already are?In this episode, we explore why the energy you carry matters more than the goals you chase. Through reflections on purpose, presence, and daily priorities, we talk about how alignment—not force—creates balance, clarity, and peace.Whether you've struggled to maintain a perfect routine, questioned if you're doing “the right thing,” or felt the quiet doubt of not being enough, this conversation offers a gentler way forward. When we put what matters most first, the noise quiets, the pressure lifts, and life begins to flow with more ease.This episode is an invitation to begin the year by becoming aligned with what you were made for.Connect with Mesha Find Mesha on Instagram Check out Mesha's website Click here for a free mini meditation course with Mesha Click here for The Heart Sync Course with Mesha (where you learn heart coherence) Click here for a free heart meditation with Mesha Click here to learn about the power of your heart And you can always email Mesha at hello@myfriendmesha.com

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, delve into a topic that quietly exhausts many of us in the realms of business, leadership, and ministry: the obsession with numbers. We often find ourselves fixated on revenue goals, follower counts, and growth metrics, which, while not inherently evil, can distract us from the life in Christ we are called to live. As I reflect on my own experiences, I share how I've noticed a troubling trend where we replace the concept of fruit-bearing with numerical figures. Instead of asking ourselves who we are becoming, we become preoccupied with what we are producing. This episode marks a pivotal moment for me as I celebrate reaching 20,000 downloads of the podcast, thanks to all of you who have supported and shared it.   Interested in the Kingdom Identity Accelerator?

In this special flip series episode, I sit down with my dear friend Lindsey Schwartz for an honest, expansive conversation about leadership, identity, and what it really takes to build meaningful success without abandoning yourself along the way. We talk about how seasons of growth often require shedding old expectations, redefining ambition, and trusting the inner knowing that calls you toward more alignment—not more pressure. Lindsey shares her journey of evolving as a leader, embracing uncertainty, and choosing purpose over perfection. Together, we explore boundaries, self-trust, and why slowing down, listening deeply, and honoring your values can actually create more impact, not less. This episode is for the woman who feels herself changing, who's ready to lead with clarity and conviction, and who wants her life and business to reflect who she truly is becoming.

Download the FREE Sales Call Roadmap: tiquehq.com/sales-call?utm_source=Podcast+Episode+148&utm_medium=Podcast+Shownotes&utm_campaign=Sales+Call+Success+RoadmapThis episode challenges one of the most common and costly misconceptions in business: that marketing and sales are the same thing. Anthony Cifelli, Marketing Strategist and Founder of Truevail, explains why confusing these two roles quietly undermines trust, confidence, and conversions. You'll learn why visibility alone doesn't lead to bookings, how inconsistent or generic marketing pushes the right clients away, and what actually makes potential clients feel confident enough to say yes. Anthony shares why consistency matters more than clever campaigns, why emotional connection beats promotion, and how staying present over time (not chasing quick wins) is what builds a business people remember. If marketing feels loud but bookings feel quiet, this episode reframes what's really missing and why fixing it starts with alignment, not more content.About Anthony Cifelli:Anthony has always had a passion for marketing and connecting with people, which led him early on to follow his family into the hotel business. Today, he brings nearly 40 years of experience across the hospitality and travel industries. He began his career with Hyatt Hotels before going on to help build the sales team for what was then a little-known airline, Virgin Atlantic Airways. After a decade-long hiatus as a chiropractor, Anthony returned to the travel industry, spending the next ten years on the representation side with Janine Cifelli Representation. Having founded multiple small businesses along the way, he experienced firsthand how overwhelming marketing responsibilities can be. That insight led him to create Truevail - which helps Travel Advisors with their marketing so that they can focus on their clients.truevailapp.com/affiliates/tiqueToday we will cover:(02:15) Anthony's background in sales and marketing(05:30) The real difference between marketing and sales explained simply(12:45) Attracting the right audience vs. attracting everyone(19:15) Why emotional connection matters more than promotion(21:15) The long game of marketing and why consistency beats quick wins(25:45) Common marketing mistakes travel advisors don't realize they're making(31:40) Aligning sales and marketing for sustainable growthSleeping Barber episode: The Eight Fundamentals of Effective MarketingJOIN THE NICHE COMMUNITYVISIT THE TEMPLATE SHOPEXPLORE THE PROGRAMSFOLLOW ALONG ON INSTAGRAM @TiqueHQThanks to Our Tique Talks Sponsors:Cozy...

A liquid biopsy is a blood test that detects signs of cancerous tumors, including tumour cells and cancer cell DNA. In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh speaks with Andrew Newland, CEO of ANGLE, about why live cell liquid biopsies should become standard in oncology. Newland explains how current US FDA-approved tests can detect some types of advanced cancers, predict prognosis, and help healthcare providers make treatment decisions. And importantly, Newland describes how live cell liquid biopsies are a UK-developed technology that aligns with national efforts to modernise cancer diagnostics, as well as potentially reduce healthcare costs by minimising ineffective treatments.

Dr. Michael Breus—known worldwide as “The Sleep Doctor”—is a clinical psychologist, board-certified sleep specialist, bestselling author, and one of the ten most influential people in sleep. He's appeared on The Dr. Oz Show around 40 times, was named the top sleep specialist in California by Reader's Digest, and has spent over 25 years helping executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers use sleep as a true performance enhancer instead of treating it like a weakness.​ On this episode we talk about: Why “sleep is for the weak” is terrible advice for entrepreneurs, and how poor sleep quietly wrecks resilience, safety, creativity, and business performance.​ The truth about “how many hours you really need,” why 8 hours is a myth, and why consistently needing 9–10 hours is actually a red flag.​ How stress (physical, emotional, spiritual, and business-related) changes your sleep needs, and why waking up feeling good is the real metric that matters.​ The reality of wearables like Whoop and Oura: what data is useful, what's inaccurate, and how to avoid letting your sleep score hijack your day.​ Chronotypes (night owl vs. morning lark), why they're genetic, and how aligning your schedule with your type can dramatically increase productivity.​ Top 3 Takeaways Eight hours is not a universal rule—sleep need is individual, but less than six hours consistently hurts reaction time, decision-making, and creativity, all of which are crucial for making money.​ Most wearables are decent at telling you when you slept and woke up, but bad at sleep stages; use them to spot trends, not to obsess over nightly scores.​ Aligning your work, workout, and wind-down times with your chronotype (your genetic sleep–wake preference) can make you more productive without forcing “5 a.m. hustle” that fights your biology.​ Notable Quotes “Eight hours is a myth—not everybody in the universe needs eight hours of sleep.”​ “If you're getting less than six hours, that's when reaction time drops and things become highly problematic.”​ “There's no universe where your wearable is accurate, but it can be consistently inaccurate—and that's still useful if you look for trends.”​ Connect with Dr. Michael Breus: Website: thesleepdoctor.com​ Chronotype quiz: chronoquiz.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Bill Saltmarsh joins me to discuss where a modern CDO gets the inspiration to “operate in the producty way” in his domain, which is healthcare. Now Vice President of Enterprise Data and Transformation and the Chief Data Officer at Children's Mercy Kansas City, his early days as an analyst revealed a gap between what stakeholders asked for vs. the outcomes they sought. This convinced him that data teams need to pause, ask better questions, and prioritize meaningful outcomes over quickly churning out dashboards and reports. Bill and I discuss how a producty mindset can be embedded across an organization. He also talks about why data leaders must set firm expectations. We explore the personal and cultural shifts needed for analysts and data scientists to embrace design, facilitation, and deeper discovery, even when it initially seems to slow things down. We also examine how to define value and ROI in healthcare, where a data team's impact is often indirect.  By tying data efforts to organizational OKRs and investing in governance, strong data foundations, and data literacy, he argues that analytics, data, and AI can drive better decisions, enhance patient care, and create durable organizational value.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, HubSpot co-founder Brian Halligan pulls back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth of scaling: there is no magic inflection point—only relentless progress, painful setbacks, and self-inflicted potholes. Brian shares how HubSpot embraced a “Pothole Report” mindset to identify unforced errors before they became existential threats, why most scaling failures are internal, and how long-term thinking—not quick exits—shaped HubSpot into a generational company. It's a masterclass in founder mindset, operational discipline, and playing the long game in hypergrowth.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] There is no magical hire, partnership, or customer that suddenly fixes everything—success is a grind, even in the best moments[00:01:13] The road to scale is filled with setbacks, many of which are self-inflicted rather than caused by competition[00:01:58] The “Pothole Report” helped HubSpot systematically identify mistakes, root causes, and missing metrics before small issues became big failures[00:02:32] Promoting too fast without protecting core functions can quietly break critical systems like customer support[00:03:27] In hypergrowth, people, systems, processes, and products don't scale naturally—everything eventually breaks[00:04:28] No system, process, or role lasts more than three years without needing to be rebuilt or replaced[00:05:12] Contrary to startup mythology, acquisition opportunities are rare—even for successful, fast-growing companies[00:06:20] Founders often optimize for “local maxima” instead of anchoring their ambition against truly global category leaders[00:07:17] Aligning founder expectations early—especially around time horizon and exit scenarios—enables long-term conviction and focusQUOTES[00:00:25] “Every happy moment's been a grind.”[00:01:13] “So many setbacks along the way. So many unforced errors.”[00:01:58] “Here's all the potholes we have—and almost all of them we caused ourselves.”[00:03:27] “In hypergrowth mode, nothing scales. Everything breaks.”[00:04:44] “No person lasts longer than three years. No system, no process, no nothing.”[00:06:42] “We wanted to build a company our grandkids would be proud of.”[00:07:36] “We'd already made some money—so we decided to swing hard.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/innovating-and-iterating-for-growth-with-hubspot-co-founder-brian-halliganEnjoying the podcast?

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, Justin Vandehey interviews Benjamin Roach, Director of Revenue Operations at Optio Incentives, to explore what it takes to build RevOps in the equity compensation and incentives space. Ben shares his “traditional” path from sales into RevOps, why he deliberately took a step back into a junior ops role, and how getting technical became a career unlock.They dig into the complexities of selling and operating in equity management—where revenue can include ARR, transactional fees, and services, and where buyers span CFOs, CHROs, legal, and finance.

The episode closes with career advice for aspiring RevOps leaders and how to learn the craft.Key topics coveredWhy Ben moved from sales → RevOps (and why he “took a step back” to level up)Equity compensation complexity: strike price, taxes, vesting, global complianceHow Optio's GTM motion sells “trusted partner + tech,” not just softwareMeasuring growth in equity management beyond traditional ARRAI in equity management: where it's useful today and where it's riskyCareer advice: become technical, stay curious, build a broader toolbeltMemorable moments / quotable lines“Stock options… were unknown to me.

Scott Spencer, co-founder of Rewarded Interest and former DoubleClick and Google product leader, explains why cookie banners failed, how consumer privacy still feels broken, and what it takes to give users real control without hurting publishers or advertisers. Takeaways RTB wasn't invented in a single moment. It emerged organically as multiple teams solved latency, bidding, and scale problems in parallel. Cookie banners fail both consumers and regulators by creating friction without real control or understanding. Rewarded Interest aims to replace site-by-site consent with centralized, programmatic privacy preferences across devices. Privacy control likely belongs above the browser level, especially as agentic browsing and AI assistants become mainstream. Changes proposed to GDPR may reduce protections around pseudonymous identifiers, increasing the need for user-centric control tools. The industry risks pushing users toward ad blocking if it can't offer meaningful, trusted privacy solutions. Scott's biggest regret from the RTB era isn't technical. It's not taking time to appreciate the magnitude of the transformation and the people behind it.

Is This As Good As It Gets?" Why Leaders Think Fulfillment Isn't Possible If you've ever caught yourself wondering why fulfillment doesn't feel possible at work, you're not alone. When success no longer brings the clarity, satisfaction, or peace they expected, many leaders quietly reach a point where they think, "Is this as good as it gets in my career?"  Most leaders don't struggle because they haven't tried hard enough. They struggle because they've tried everything.  Promotions, coaching, and therapy don't work long term because they address symptoms without resolving the deeper operating system driving stress, dissatisfaction, and over-effort.  In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake Schofield breaks down why so many traditional solutions fail to create lasting change and what actually makes it possible to have both.  You'll hear how fulfillment becomes impossible when leadership and career decisions are built on outdated belief systems, nervous system patterns, and misalignment. You'll learn why willpower, mindset shifts, and surface-level tools can't override an internal system that was never designed for ease, clarity, or sustainable success.  Can you have a fulfilling career and a life you love? Yes. And it starts with understanding what's really been holding you back. Episode Highlights Why "Doing Everything Right" Still Feels Wrong [01:15] - The quiet cycle leaders don't talk about [02:10] - Why good intentions don't create lasting change [03:20] - The boat with 20 holes: why temporary fixes fail Why Career Fixes Don't Work Long Term [04:35] - How siloed solutions keep you stuck [05:40] - The real reason your patterns keep repeating [07:15] - Why you can't outwork a misaligned operating system The Hidden Operating System Running Your Career [08:25] - How early beliefs shape your leadership today [09:30] - The survival strategies that stop serving you [10:45] - Why overachieving becomes your biggest obstacle What Actually Makes Fulfillment Possible [12:15] - Aligning with how you're naturally wired to thrive [13:40] - Your unique fingerprint for success [15:20] - Why understanding yourself creates career safety [17:10] - The power of rewiring limiting beliefs at the root Leading and Living Without the Tradeoff [19:15] - Showing up as your authentic self vs. using scripts [20:30] - Why vulnerability creates better leaders [21:45] - How alignment creates rapid transformation Powerful Quotes "You cannot outwork or outsmart an operating system that was never built for ease, flow, alignment, or sustainable success." -Blake Schofield "You are not broken and there isn't anything wrong with you. You have never been the problem. What you're experiencing are signs and symptoms of misalignment in your life." -Blake Schofield "People can tell when you're honest and vulnerable and you show up as your full self and people can tell when you are approaching things from a script or feeling like you have to show up in a certain way in order to be successful." -Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship and business ownership, addressing a common misconception that many business owners have: the belief that success is solely about how much they do. Instead, I emphasize that true success begins with clarity. Specifically, how clearly we see the problems we face and the solutions we can implement. I liken the experience of owning a business to an episode of the classic show American Gladiator, where the challenges can feel overwhelming and daunting. With constant decisions to make and problems to solve, it's easy to feel stressed and stuck. However, I reveal that what separates thriving entrepreneurs from those who feel overwhelmed is often the questions they ask. The right questions can uncover hidden obstacles and bottlenecks that hinder growth. Throughout the episode, I present five essential questions that every business owner needs to answer to elevate their business to the next level. These questions are designed to expose what may be holding you back and to help you build from a place of overflow rather than overwhelm.   LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE KINGDOM INDENTITY ACCELERATOR!

How can you foster intrapreneurship and unlock entrepreneurial thinking inside your organization? Drawing from her upbringing in an entrepreneurial family and her experience scaling companies, Lisa Coyle, CEO of Promotive, shares how leaders can empower their people to think and act like owners. Lisa emphasizes that entrepreneurship is first a mindset—rooted in curiosity, resilience, and flexibility—and that organizations thrive when leaders give their teams permission to take risks, learn from failure, and contribute ideas with confidence. Highlights include: Why intrapreneurship is about empowering people to use entrepreneurial skills.

Exhausted from ND grind overload? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores mindful energy for neurodivergent burnout with Chris Vasiliadis, former systems engineer/instructional designer/Director of Performance Improvement turned burnout buster/health coach (18 years). MS diagnosis (2006) sparked his shift to energizing routines—Qigong/MBSR/3R rescue—focusing on sustainable thriving without chronic exhaustion, aligning actions/values for whole-hearted well-being. Key insights: MS journey: Year of "lab rat" tests (gluten sensitivity/naps), conscious energy management (Qigong for meridians). Mindful energy: Purposeful present attention without judgment (grounding/foot sensations, white space on calendar). Routines for dysfunction/overwhelm: Pause/reground (breathe/stretch/outdoor panoramic views), 16-90 min breaks (not rewards—necessities). Aligning actions/values: Self-compassion over perfectionism (grace for pace, delegate/delay to-dos). Book "Ignition": Self-coach burnout-proof (energy list/3R: remove/reduce/respond drains; bake energizers first). Unpredictable life: Expect chaos (reground: "What's next wise choice?"), community for support (no stagnation—daily joy notes). Thriving normal: Sane pace (role models of measured living), human beings not doings (buffers/transitions). For autistic/ADHD young adults in executive dysfunction/isolation, Chris's systems/patterns: "Honor humanness—small steps sustain." Free resources at prioritywellness.com.

“Delivering a baby one day and holding a patient's hand at the end of life literally the next day...that continuity is very powerful,” says Dr. Jen Brull, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). And as she points out, that continuity also builds trust with patients, an increasingly valuable commodity when faith in medicine and science is declining. As you might expect given her role, Dr. Brull believes strengthening family medicine is the key to improving health and healthcare. Exactly how to do that is at the heart of her conversation with host Lindsey Smith on this episode of Raise the Line, which covers ideas for payment reform, reducing administrative burdens, and stronger support for physician well-being. And with a projected shortage of nearly forty thousand primary care physicians, Dr. Brull also shares details on AAFP's “Be There First” initiative which is designed to attract service-minded medical students – whom she describes as family physicians at heart -- early in their educational journey. “I have great hope that increasing the number of these service-first medical students will fill part of this gap.”Tune-in for an informative look at a cornerstone of the healthcare system and what it means to communities of all sizes throughout the nation.  Mentioned in this episode:AAFP If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
