If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Are you optimizing your diet and gym time but still feeling wired and foggy? Could the hidden culprit be mental inflammation shortening your health span without you even knowing it?   I talked with Dr. Shivani Gupta about mental inflammation. This stress keeps the nervous system in fight or flight. It ruins digestion, sleep, and clarity. We discussed her book, The Inflammation Code. She explains how Ayurvedic medicine offers solutions through rituals and breath work. We cover elemental design and the body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Dr. Gupta shares why news and social media inflame the mind. She provides tools like tea time and decompression points to build resilience. We explore the power of spices like turmeric for healing. Her approach focuses on physiology to change how the body manages stress and productivity for longevity.   Key Takeaways Mental inflammation is chronic emotional stress that creates low-grade inflammation and depletes your vitality, or OJUS. Self-care rituals like setting daily intentions and practicing breath work create a reservoir of peace. "Tea time is me time" acts as a physical trigger to shift the body into the parasympathetic nervous system for rest and digestion. Aligning with your circadian rhythm is essential; sleeping from 10 PM to 2 AM is the most important window for clearing inflammation. Elemental design identifies your specific body template (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) to inform how you should manage your diet and energy. Consuming news and social media triggers a fear-based fight or flight state, contributing significantly to mental inflammation. For therapeutic benefits, use high volumes of spices (teaspoons, not sprinkles) like turmeric, ginger, and cumin in your cooking. When feeling sick, use the Kitchari protocol—a simple porridge that allows the gut to rest so the body can focus on healing.   Resources Dr. Shivani Gupta's Book: The Inflammation Code https://www.theinflammationcode.com/   Elemental Design Quiz: https://shivanigreenliving.clickfunnels.com/quiz   Dr. Shivani Gupta's Website: https://shivanigupta.com   Fusionary Formulas Website: https://fusionaryformulas.com Use the code GETLEANER for 15% Off   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

This episode continues our two-part series on the law firm merger decision. In Part 1, Steve and Daniel explored how to determine whether merging is the right move. In Part 2, the focus turns to execution and what actually makes a law firm merger succeed. On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley is joined by Molly Sasso, Christie Guerrero, Jay Henderlite, and Atticus Practice Advisor Daniel Struna for a candid breakdown of a successful law firm merger in action. Using their Jacksonville-based family law firm as a case study, they walk through the deliberate process that transformed three solo practices into a unified 25-person firm led by three board-certified partners. The conversation centers on the execution details most law firm mergers overlook. The group explains how a year-long pre-announcement period, guided by structured conversations and predetermined questions, created clarity and trust before anything became official. They share how they navigated a retiring partner's evolving exit timeline, designed C-suite leadership roles aligned with each partner's strengths, and built compensation structures that properly credited non-billable leadership work. They also address power dynamics early, including how two long-standing partners intentionally integrated a third without creating an outsider dynamic. Operationally, the episode highlights the systems and behaviors that supported the merger long term, including their "don't make me care" empowerment philosophy, processing emotional reactions with a practice advisor before taking action, and using multiple partner retreats to resolve compensation, workload, and decision-making expectations transparently. A recurring theme is that the preparation required for a law firm merger often strengthens a firm even if the deal never closes. This episode is essential listening for firm owners considering a law firm merger or scaling with intention. It shows that successful mergers are not about speed or chemistry alone, but about alignment, structure, and doing the work before problems arise. In this episode, you will hear: Real-world case study on merging two family law practices into one scalable firm Defining executive leadership roles to speed decisions and reduce friction Timeline and strategy from early merger talks to public launch Leading two teams through cultural and operational integration Aligning partner compensation to reward leadership beyond billable hours Building a firm culture that empowers staff while maintaining accountability Why having a practice advisor was critical to merger success Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

"Does your behavior match your stated objectives? If you claim you want to scale the business but you have no framework or capacity building plan in place, there's a disconnect." - Chris Papin. What if your business struggles aren't about working harder—but about whether your daily actions actually match what you say you want to achieve? In this conversation, Bradley sits down with Chris Papin, attorney and CPA, to explore the critical gap between stated objectives and actual behavior in business. Chris shares his framework for thinking about business decisions through three lenses: personal, community, and client impact. He unpacks why most business owners don't truly understand their financials (and why that's costing them), the business judgment rule that separates smart decisions from lucky ones, and why Tom Brady's success on offense came from his defensive genius. If you've ever felt out of alignment with your own goals or wondered why your numbers don't reflect your stated priorities, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on getting above your business. What Working Above the Business Means to Chris: "It's gonna shift during where I am in the life cycle of my business. But what it means to me is I go back to the original vision. I have kind of three components that are in my vision: There's a personal piece, there's a community piece, and then there's a client-side piece. The personal piece is the internal me, my team, the objectives there. The community is elevating others. Obviously we want to take care of our clients. If I focus on those three pieces and really recognize what's at stake and work my business to achieving those objectives, I'm above the business doing the right things I need to do as a business owner to steer people to those objectives. Fully knowing that I am also the licensed professional where I have to be in my business from time to time to do that too. I'm okay with that because that's what I signed up for, but that distinction matters because I do have to step out of my technician's role to get up into that entrepreneurial role." This episode of Above the Business is for business owners who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with clarity, intention, and alignment between what they say they want and what they actually do.

Key Takeaways:   When Money Breaks, Systems Suffer: When a money system no longer reflects real value and work, it creates serious problems. This can lead to economic breakdown and social harm, as seen in places like Venezuela. Staying Grounded Matters: A calm and regulated nervous system helps people think clearly, adapt to fast change, and use new technology in healthy and effective ways. Bad Incentives Create Chaos: Broken money systems reward the wrong behaviors. These incentives increase instability and make real economic growth harder to achieve. Bitcoin as a New Foundation: Bitcoin offers a different kind of money that doesn't rely on central control. It follows clear rules and can serve as a more honest base for economic systems. Personal Choice Still Matters: Individuals can choose where to store value and how to participate in financial systems. Choosing systems based on real work, truth, and productivity helps reduce distortion and manipulation.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Introduction to Broken Money and Nervous System 2:59 Importance of Technology and Nervous System Harmony 4:30 Venezuela's Economic Collapse as a Warning 6:44 Strategic Global Interests in Venezuela 10:05 Misaligned Systems and Hero Worship 13:24 Impact of Broken Money on Productivity and Trust 15:08 Incentives and Informal Markets in Venezuela 18:10 Regulation and Monopolies 22:21 Structural Change vs. Engineering 27:19 Investing with Natural Law and Energy Focus 30:39 Changing the Conventional Financial Beliefs 35:08 Shifting Focus to Bitcoin and Innovation 41:06 Aligning with Natural Laws and Bitcoin 43:29 New Financial Order and Bitcoin Integration   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

This episode is all about taking control of your own career development instead of waiting for your manager to hand you opportunities. Traci shares personal lessons learned from influential leaders and her own journey as both an HR professional and podcast founder. You'll walk away understanding that career growth—whether vertical promotions or horizontal skill-building—is ultimately your responsibility, not your manager's.As part of our greatest hits replay series, we're revisiting this powerful solo episode that continues to resonate with our audience about owning your career destiny.Spoiler alert: The best way to get promoted isn't to ask your manager to promote you. It's to demonstrate you're already ready for more.What We Cover:– Your development is your own—taking ownership as the first step toward growth– Why managers can't (and shouldn't) solve your career problems for you– The distinction between vertical growth and horizontal growth—and why you need both– How to shift from "I want more" to "Here's what I'm doing to get there"– The role of self-awareness and honest feedback partners in identifying your gaps– Mentorship, stretch assignments, and seeking feedback as accelerators– Why advocating for yourself matters—especially when negotiating salary– Setting boundaries without sacrificing your value or contribution– Aligning your career vision with your life goals so they work together, not against each other– How filling your own tank outside of work fuels your performance inside of workKey Quote: "Our development is our own. We own every stage of our development. If I want to do more, I can do more. If I want to go beyond the scope of my role, I can go beyond the scope of my role."Connect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

Topics Covered Influencer marketing as a modern demand lever in a “feeds are flooded” environment (credibility + distribution vs polish)Building an influencer program as a repeatable system (not one-off posts)Aligning influencer strategy to GTM motion: PLG + sales-led dual motion, fast sales cycle, and audience behavior on LinkedInTalent sourcing: internal creators, power users, frontline thought leaders, executive narrative voices, and “entertainer/evangelism” creatorsUsing influencer content as paid social creative (thought leadership ads) and deciding what to amplifyProgram mechanics: 3-month trials, post cadence, onboarding, briefs, review cycles, and relationship managementIncentives tied to outcomes (PLG signup bonus, ARR percentage via UTM)Measurement options: cost per signup, CPM/efficient reach, ABM-style reach goals, qualitative signals, and attribution constraintsQuality control: “smell test” for AI slop, engagement pods, and meaningful comment engagementActivation workflow: first-hour engagement, “let it cook” windows, reporting, UTM updates for paid vs organic, and distribution trade-offsQuestions This Video Helps AnswerHow do you structure B2B influencer marketing so it drives demand (not just awareness) without becoming random acts of promotion?How should a B2B team align influencer strategy to GTM motion (PLG vs sales-led) and measurement constraints?What's the best place to start: internal creators, power users, or external influencers?How do you choose influencer “types” (executive narrative, frontline education, entertainment/evangelism) based on goals?What contract length and cadence reduces the risk of declaring influencer “doesn't work” too early?How do you turn influencer posts into paid social assets using thought leadership ads?What's a practical incentive structure for creators tied to signups and revenue (UTM-based)?How do you spot inflated performance from AI-generated engagement or engagement pods?When should you promote a post, and when should you leave it organic?How can you evaluate influencer impact using CPM, reach, signups, and qualitative sales signals?Key TakeawaysIf you want results, avoid one-off influencer posts; start with at least a 3-month trial so performance can compound and audience association can form.In crowded feeds, influencer works because it combines trust with distribution; paid amplification (thought leadership ads) can make “small” creators valuable when the story is strong.Start sourcing from internal creators and product power users first; they're cheaper, more credible on use cases, and their content can be promoted to the right audience.Make onboarding and relationships non-negotiable: demo the product, ideate together, and set a clear review cycle so feedback doesn't show up only as late-stage Google Doc edits.Tie incentives to business outcomes and effort: bonus for PLG signups over the contract window, percentage of ARR from UTM-driven revenue, and paid boosts for high-performing posts (which also benefits the creator's audience growth).Don't boost everything: let posts run organically first, then selectively promote what's likely to work in paid (not every organic winner is a paid winner).Quality control requires human judgment: scan comments and engagement patterns for meaningful conversation vs AI slop, pods, or gamed metrics.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley is joined by Atticus Practice Advisor Daniel Struna for a candid conversation about one of the most consequential decisions a law firm owner can make: whether to merge practices. Drawing on years of experience advising law firm owners, along with Steve's own history with failed mergers, they identify exactly where law firm consolidations go wrong. The problem is rarely legal talent or goodwill. Too often, lawyers merge based on mutual respect or personal chemistry without pressure-testing whether their visions and financial realities actually align. Steve and Daniel walk through the fault lines that undermine mergers early. They explore what happens when partners skip hard conversations about the future of the firm and personal life goals, and why avoiding early financial clarity around compensation structure, origination, and profit splits can lead to frustration later. They also draw a clear distinction between a true merger and what many firms mistakenly create instead: roommates sharing space while everything else remains separate. This episode is the first in a two-part series designed to help lawyers slow down and think like owners. Whether you are actively considering a merger or simply curious about future growth options, this conversation will help you ask better questions and spot warning signs earlier. Next week, tune in for Part 2, where Steve and Daniel sit down with the partners of a successful family law merger to unpack what worked, what they aligned on early, and the practical decisions that helped them build the new firm together. In this episode, you will hear: Why most law firm mergers fail due to business misalignment, not legal skill The difference between a true merger and simply sharing office space The danger of merging based on personal rapport instead of strategic fit Aligning long-term practice vision with personal life goals before merging Critical money conversations that must happen early, including compensation and investment Common red flags that signal a merger should not move forward How the merger evaluation process can strengthen your firm even if you don't merge Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, Coleman Ayers breaks down what creativity actually is—and more importantly, how coaches can systematically develop it. Rather than treating creativity as an innate talent or mysterious gift, the episode reframes it as a skill rooted in deep understanding, problem-solving, and exposure to diverse ideas. Through personal experience, coaching education, and the constraints-led approach, Coleman outlines why creativity is best built on strong foundations of knowledge, curiosity, and intentional learning.The episode also explores practical ways coaches can unlock creativity in their daily work: aligning with the right people, starting with clear end goals, using constraints to force innovation, and diversifying how they think both inside and outside of basketball. From studying other sports and disciplines to embracing feedback and removing the fear of judgment, this conversation offers a framework for coaches who want to move beyond recycled drills and begin creating more adaptive, engaging, and effective learning environments.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Introduction and why creativity matters in coaching 00:51 – Why creativity is hard to explain but critical to develop 01:49 – Balancing practical takeaways with deeper education 02:38 – Creativity as intelligence having fun 03:26 – The role of learning and foundational knowledge 04:11 – The danger of creativity without understanding 04:54 – Letting intelligence “have fun” 05:28 – Aligning with creative people and environments 06:45 – Avoiding fixed-mindset coaching circles 07:42 – How collaboration sparks new ideas 08:47 – Learning from different thinking styles 09:35 – Don't fear judgment or “bad” ideas 10:03 – Starting with the end goal, not the drill 10:45 – Working backward to design better solutions 11:48 – Why many creative drills miss the real problem 12:30 – Using the constraints-led approach for coach development 13:09 – Practical constraint examples for coaches 13:39 – How natural constraints build adaptability 14:34 – Applying lessons from travel and unfamiliar environments 15:07 – Training coaches the same way we train players 15:53 – Creating just to be creative 16:43 – Coach-to-coach experimentation sessions 17:19 – Exploring safely within trusted environments 17:57 – Avoiding stagnation with long-term athletes 18:24 – Diversifying your mind beyond basketball 19:43 – Learning through conversation and observation 20:24 – Watching basketball through a creative lens 21:11 – Studying different levels and styles of play 22:07 – Learning from other sports and disciplines 23:44 – Blending artistic and scientific thinking 24:46 – Systemizing creativity without killing it 25:55 – Fear of judgment as a creativity killer 26:24 – Owning ideas and building confidence 27:46 – Creating buy-in and embracing feedback 28:24 – Asking others to critique and improve your work 29:18 – Final thoughts on innovation and creative growthCoaching Resources: https://www.byanymeansbasketball.comBAM Blueprint Book: https://www.byanymeansbasketball.com/bam-blueprintIf this episode challenged the way you think about creativity as a coach, share it with someone who's stuck recycling the same drills.

What if playing it safe is actually keeping you from the life and relationships you truly want? Too often, fear convinces us to stay small, avoid discomfort, and stick to familiar routines, especially when it comes to our most important connections. The result? Missed opportunities for deep intimacy, vibrant trust, and authentic connection. It's a paradox: the very quest for comfort may be the greatest risk of all. In this episode, listeners are invited to challenge the idea that comfort equals happiness. Through inspiring stories and practical tools, the conversation explores how embracing courage, even in small, everyday ways, can lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships. Discover why facing fears (rather than running from them) is essential for personal growth and intimacy, and how a simple courage practice can transform both self-perception and connection with loved ones. Whether it's starting an uncomfortable conversation or supporting each other through life's uncertainties, this episode offers actionable steps to help anyone move from fear to flourishing in their relationships. Scott Simon is a thought leader, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Scare Your Soul movement, helping people transform their lives through small daily acts of courage. He's worked with the UN, Nestlé, Ritz Carlton, Logitech, and the Cleveland Clinic to build braver teams and more connected cultures. When he's not leading keynotes or designing transformative retreats, you'll find Scott chasing live music, journaling in strange airports, or hunting down the world's best hole-in-the-wall restaurants.   Episode Highlights 04:24 Overcoming the tendency to shrink back and building momentum through bravery and courage. 09:20 How embracing discomfort leads to growth and creativity. 16:16 How small actions outside your comfort zone can build courage and lead to transformative outcomes. 20:08 Challenging relationship norms for deeper bonds. 28:47 Unlocking authenticity through vulnerability in relationships. 32:10 Aligning courageous choices with core values in relationships. 35:30 Personal examples of standing in your truth. 39:56 Practicing self-awareness and micro acts of courage for relational growth.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Start a daily courage practice: Each day, do one small thing that scares you or takes you out of your comfort zone, just as the guest recommends. Pause and check in with yourself: Before difficult conversations, take a moment to breathe deeply and center yourself, allowing self-awareness to guide your next steps. Reflect on your core values: Use your values as a filter when deciding which courageous actions to take in your relationships. Initiate honest conversations: If you're holding back something important, practice being the one to "go first" and share vulnerably, even if it feels risky. Name your feelings in real-time: During tough moments, state what you're experiencing physically or emotionally (e.g., "My heart is racing right now"), to foster connection and authenticity. Seek support for brave actions: Engage a partner or friend to do something courageous together, which can increase commitment and make the experience richer. Replace silence with authentic sharing: Consider what keeping quiet is truly serving, and choose to communicate openly instead of bottling things up. Practice small acts of kindness: Try courage-building social acts, like initiating a friendly conversation or buying someone a coffee, to strengthen your confidence and connectedness.   Mentioned Scare Your Soul (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) David Schnarch (*Wikipedia link) Conscious Loving (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Scott Simon Websites: scottsimon.us | scareyoursoul.com Instagram: instagram.com/scareyoursoul Substack: scareyoursoul.substack.com

Setting goals is easy. Aligning those goals with your effort, capacity, and season can be tough. Ryann, Kelly, and Christin unpack what healthy expectations actually look like in a world obsessed with fast results, challenges, and highlight-reel progress. They dig into why so many goals stall out, how social media distorts reality, and what sustainable progress truly requires. The discussion covers working backward from big goals, choosing a primary focus instead of chasing everything at once, and recognizing when your current habits or lifestyle don't match what you're aiming for. There's a deep dive into seasons of life, why consistency with the basics beats novelty every time, and how non-scale progress often tells a more honest story than aesthetics alone. They also explore the role of support systems, coaching, and community, and why meaningful progress is rarely a solo effort. If you've ever felt like you're "doing everything right" but not seeing results, or like your goals keep resetting every few months, this is a grounded reminder that progress is built through alignment, not intensity.

After seven years of weekly podcasting, we felt it was time to pause, reflect, and make a thoughtful shift.In this episode, we talk honestly about change—what it is, what it isn't, and how to recognize when it's time to realign rather than quit. This isn't about ending something. It's about pruning, tending, and creating space for healthier growth.We share why the podcast is shifting to an every-other-week rhythm, how our two sister podcasts will now work together, and what this kind of discernment has looked like for us as coaches and leaders. We also talk about capacity—how honoring it isn't failure, but wisdom.If you've ever found yourself wondering:Is it time for something to change… or are we just tired?How do we honor our capacity without giving up on meaningful work?What does healthy growth actually look like in this season?This conversation is for you.Our hope is that as you listen, you'll feel permission to slow down, notice what needs tending in your own life and work, and trust that change—when discerned well—can be a gift.FREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

Construction doesn't solely rely on blueprints and hard hats; it also relies on curiosity, hands-on learning, and people who make the buildings come to life. For those who step into job sites, success is measured by attitude, adaptability, and willingness to ask questions. From building psychological safety to leveraging technology like robotics, the modern superintendent is constantly learning how to work smarter by balancing human expertise with innovation. Erin Saiki is a superintendent at DPR Construction who started her career pursuing civil engineering at UC Berkeley and discovered a passion for construction during a 2018 summer internship with DPR. After her graduation, Erin joined DPR as a project engineer but quickly realized her strengths and enthusiasm were better suited to the field rather than an office environment. Aligning herself with DPR's field engineer program, she moved to site leadership and has since progressed to become a superintendent.   Highlights [00:20] Erin path to construction leadership.  [02:31] The importance of hands-on field experience. [08:00] Making clear, objective decisions based on what's best for the job. [11:42] Psychological safety in construction. [16:50] Collaborative leadership vs. traditional leadership.  [20:52] Management of tough conversations and self-awareness.  [22:37] Bridging technology and craft work in construction. [28:44] The importance of getting involved early in the design phase.  [33:14] The importance of addressing mental health issues in construction.  [39:56] Showing up, volunteering, and finding ways to add real value. [41:18] The superintendent of the future.   Key Takeaways Touch, observe, and follow. Spend time in the field to see how drawings translate into real installations. Go into the field expecting to learn and be comfortable admitting what you don't know. Gather input from all trades before deciding and make the call once you have enough information. Build psychological safety. Encourage workers to speak up without fear of blame. Prepare mentally before a tough conversation and focus on what you can control, not how it will be received. Explain what the technology does and doesn't do and frame technology as support, not replacement. Talk openly about mental health on site and build a supportive, respectful jobsite culture where workers feel safe. Connect with Erin SaikiLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/erin-saiki/  Website - dpr.com 

How to Legally Pay Less Tax as a Business Owner with Former IRS Agent Carlotta Thompson   With Former IRS Agent Carlotta Thompson Most business owners believe high taxes are just the price of success. They're wrong.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky sits down with former IRS agent turned tax strategist Carlotta Thompson to reveal how the tax system really works, what actually triggers audits, and how profitable business owners legally keep more of what they earn. This is not about loopholes or risky moves. It's about understanding the rules well enough to play the game correctly.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: What actually triggers IRS audits and why most business owners worry about the wrong things. The common tax and bookkeeping mistakes that quietly raise red flags with the IRS. Why home office and mileage deductions are usually not the real problem. How poor recordkeeping costs business owners money even when deductions are legitimate. Why constantly moving money between Profit First accounts is a warning sign, not a solution. When an S Corp makes sense and when it can actually cost you more in taxes. Why starting as an LLC gives you more flexibility as your business grows. How to shift from asking "Can I deduct this?" to "How can I deduct this legally?"   The Big Takeaway: Paying less tax is not about gaming the system. It's about: Knowing what the IRS actually looks for Building clean, consistent financial systems Aligning profit, tax strategy, and long-term vision When you do that, audits become less scary, profit becomes more predictable, and your business stops leaking money quietly.   Bio: Carlotta Thompson is a Founder + CEO When Carlotta was 14, she remembers becoming enthralled with a booklet on preparing taxes. She decided then that she wanted to work for the IRS, so at 14 years old, she began studying tax law with the dream of working for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Shortly after attaining her dream of working for the IRS, Carlotta realized that the IRS isn't actually in place to help small businesses like she'd thought and it felt like she was working for the wrong side. As an auditor, she saw tons of tax returns with sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of missed deductions that were detrimental for the client. Carlotta had a bigger dream and mission to directly help business owners pay the least tax legally possible, so what began as a ministry has evolved into Tax Strategists of America!  She now has a Pathway to Zero™ program helping business owners pay the least taxes legally possible!   Links: Website: https://taxstrategistsofamerica.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carlotta.thompson.1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlottathompsonfinance?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@carlottathompsonfinance?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carlottathompsonfinance   Conclusion: Paying less tax is not about shortcuts or loopholes. It's about clarity, structure, and intention. When you understand what the IRS actually looks for, keep clean records, and align your entity and profit strategy with your long-term goals, taxes stop feeling like a constant threat. This episode with Carlotta shows that real tax savings come from running a better business, not from taking bigger risks.   #ProfitAnswerMan #ProfitFirst #BusinessProfit #TaxStrategy #CashFlow #SmallBusinessFinance #BusinessOwners #IRS #TaxPlanning #FinancialClarity #EntrepreneurLife #KeepMoreProfit #BusinessSystems #MoneyMindset   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Send us a textIs investing ever neutral—or does our money always carry influence?In this episode of God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, Patricia welcomes Christian financial advisor and author Robin John to discuss his book The Good Investor and how believers can think more biblically about wealth, stewardship, and long-term impact.Robin offers a thoughtful and practical framework for Christians who want their financial decisions to align with their faith—not just in generosity, but in how and where their money is invested.

What Happens When Strong Consumers, Limited Supply, and Leasing Demand Collide?Retail real estate is not just stable — it is entering a meaningfully better phase of the cycle.Drawing on recent conversations with owners, brokers, tenants, architects, engineers, and contractors, Chris Ressa challenges the prevailing narrative that 2026 will simply mirror a solid 2025. Instead, he outlines why the year ahead could outperform expectations across leasing, rents, and long-term fundamentals.At the center of his thesis is sustained leasing velocity. Across categories and markets, tenant demand continues to outpace available supply, even as headlines focus on isolated retailer struggles. Chris explains why those failures do not define the health of retail — and why today's winners are expanding with conviction.He also breaks down why early-2025 disruptions, including an unusually high number of store closures and tariff uncertainty, are unlikely to repeat in 2026. With bankruptcies moderating, new construction still muted, and many signed tenants yet to open, available retail space is tightening further.Layer in a U.S. consumer expected to gain discretionary spending power, and the result is a collision of forces that may finally unlock meaningful rent growth. Chris argues this is the early innings of a retail pricing cycle — and 2026 could be the year it clearly shows up.What You'll HearWhy 2026 could outperform already-strong 2025 resultsHow leasing velocity is signaling a tighter retail marketThe impact of fewer bankruptcies on available retail spaceWhy muted new construction matters more than headlines suggestHow rising consumer discretionary income supports rent growthWhat the next retail pricing cycle may look like for landlords and investorsChapters00:12 – Welcome to 2026Chris sets the stage with early sentiment from across the retail real estate industry.01:58 – Leasing Velocity Tells the Real StoryDemand for retail space continues to outpace supply across most categories.03:28 – Winners, Losers, and Retail RealityWhy retailer failures don't equal a weak retail sector.05:32 – Bankruptcies, Tariffs, and a Reset MarketHow 2025 disruptions slowed leasing—and why 2026 looks different.07:26 – The Consumer Comes Back Into FocusRising discretionary income and its impact on physical retail demand.08:18 – Rent Growth vs. Landlord CapExHow economics are shifting tenant and landlord cost burdens.09:03 – The Early Innings of a Pricing CycleWhy multiple forces are colliding to push rents higher.10:55 – What's Next for Retail Retold

#741 What if one simple 3D render could instantly boost client trust, speed up approvals, and help you win higher-paying projects? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with John Kaplar, founder of Focused SketchUp, to show how creative entrepreneurs can use 3D visualization to win more clients and deliver better projects. John shares his journey from an 18-year software career to building a fast-growing education business teaching designers SketchUp, V-Ray, and AI — then walks through a live demo of how tools like Freepik can “glow up” older renders, apply mood-board finishes, and even generate day/night variations and short video-style camera moves for more compelling client presentations and social content. If you're a designer (or work with designers) and want faster approvals, fewer construction surprises, and more trust with clients, this one's packed with practical takeaways! What we discuss with John: + Leaving an 18-year software career + Building Focused SketchUp + Using SketchUp for 3D modeling + V-Ray for photorealistic renders + AI as a render “glow-up” tool + Faster client approvals + Aligning clients, designers, contractors + Day vs. night render variations + AI-generated social content + Trust through visualization Thank you, John!
