In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo challenges Dan Wentzel to confront one of the biggest hidden obstacles investors face: lack of intentional control over their calendar. After reviewing the previous week, it becomes clear that progress isn't just about knowing what actions to take—it's about protecting the time required to execute those actions. Alex explains why operating without a clear plan is like being a leaf in the wind—reacting to whatever comes your way instead of intentionally directing your week. Together, they unpack the importance of structuring your calendar, planning your work blocks, and protecting the activities that actually move deals forward. This episode becomes a powerful reminder that building a business isn't only about strategy or knowledge—it's about discipline, time ownership, and committing to the daily actions that create results. ⸻ You'll Learn How To: Take control of your calendar so your priorities don't get dictated by others Structure your week to create intentional time for deal-making activities Recognize when lack of planning is slowing your progress Turn vague goals into scheduled action blocks Protect focused time for conversations, underwriting, and follow-ups Build momentum by aligning daily habits with long-term goals ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Why controlling your calendar is essential to success [1:37] Recap of the Season 2 coaching journey with Dan [2:30] Why resistance always shows up when you pursue meaningful goals [3:33] How momentum can disappear when life interrupts your routine [3:55] Alex challenges Dan to be honest about the past week [5:10] Why operating without a plan leads to lost time [7:15] The "leaf in the wind" analogy for unstructured schedules [10:02] Why intentional planning increases productivity [13:48] Structuring your calendar around meaningful actions [17:26] The difference between activity and progress [20:14] Aligning daily actions with the goal of buying your first storage facility ⸻ Who This Episode Is For: Investors who feel busy but struggle to make real progress Listeners who find their weeks slipping away without meaningful output Anyone trying to balance investing goals with work and family responsibilities Operators who want to become more intentional with their time and focus ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Many investors believe they need more knowledge, more resources, or more opportunities to succeed. In reality, they often just need better control over their time. This episode highlights how easily momentum can be lost when your calendar isn't aligned with your goals. By becoming more intentional with how you plan and protect your time, you create the space needed for meaningful conversations, deal analysis, and consistent follow-up. If you've ever felt like your week disappeared without moving you closer to your goals, this conversation will challenge you to take back control of your schedule—and your progress. ⸻ Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/ ⸻ Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

In aviation, every flight has a plan. Pilots file a route, brief the weather, and always identify alternate airports in case conditions change. Yet when it comes to marriage, most couples plan the wedding… but never plan the lifetime journey. In this episode of the Pilot Wife Podcast and Travel Life by a Pilot Wife, we're talking about something many couples avoid: What if we approached marriage the way aviation approaches a flight plan? Not expecting failure… but planning intentionally for the long-term journey — and even considering what an amicable exit might look like if life takes a different course. This episode explores how aviation couples can begin with the end in mind and create clarity around: • Your vision for life at 70–75 years old• What midlife might look like around 50–55• Career, family, and life balance in your 40s• Defining your core values as a couple• Aligning around money, career, and family priorities• And the difficult but important question:If divorce ever happened, how would we handle it with dignity and respect? As someone nearing four decades of aviation marriage, I'm sharing reflections on what truly matters when you look back over the years. We'll also talk about: • The emotional load many pilot wives carry• How to keep resentment from quietly building• Why clarity actually strengthens marriages• And how to keep children's wellbeing at the center if things ever change This isn't about expecting divorce. It's about building stronger, more intentional partnerships — the kind that can last a lifetime because both partners are aligned on the destination. Whether you're newly married, raising kids, or navigating the empty nest years, this conversation may be one of the most important ones you have.

Send a textWhy do some people achieve amazing things yet still feel like they're not enough?In this episode, we confront a quiet truth many people miss. Self-worth and self-belief are not the same thing. When those two ideas get tangled together, it can leave you chasing confidence, approval, or success while still feeling unsettled inside. We talk through a simple way to understand how these forces shape your identity, your decisions, and the goals you pursue. Because it's possible to believe you're capable of doing something and still struggle to believe you deserve the life you're building.If you've ever questioned your value or your abilities, this conversation may shift how you see both.

What does it actually take to be the first, or only, designer or researcher on a team? Spoiler: it's not just about doing great work. This week, we get into the unglamorous, under-discussed side of the solo role: building systems, managing up, and earning trust before you've even shipped anything.What happens when you're really good at the craft, but nobody around you understands what you do, why it matters, or how to support you?Julian Della Mattia has spent his career doing one of the hardest things in UX: showing up first. As a researcher who has repeatedly been the founding or solo practitioner inside organizations, Julian has learned, mostly the hard way, that being great at research is only a fraction of the actual job. He's also the host of Finders to Builders, a podcast built specifically for researchers navigating this exact challenge.In this conversation, we dig into what Julian calls the “finder to builder” mindset shift: moving from someone who just surfaces insights to someone who builds the infrastructure, earns the trust, and creates the conditions for research (and design) to actually matter inside an organization. We talk about how to manage up when your manager doesn't fully understand your work, how to know when your efforts are starting to gain traction, and what the invisible job description of a solo or founding designer really looks like.If you've ever landed a solo design or research role and felt the gap between what you prepared for and what the job actually demanded, this one's for you. Julian brings a grounded, practical perspective that goes well beyond frameworks, because, as he puts it, in this context, frameworks rarely fly out of the box.

What does it take to transform literacy outcomes across an entire school district? In this episode of Literacy Talks, we explore how leadership, alignment, and a commitment to the science of reading can create lasting change for students and educators alike.In this episode, we discuss: • Leading systemwide literacy change • Building a birth-to-12 literacy ecosystem • Investing in people over programs • Aligning district systems around the science of readingDr. Grant Rivera, Superintendent of Marietta City Schools in Georgia, joins us to share the story behind his district's literacy transformation. What began with a single conversation about how children learn to read quickly revealed a challenge many districts face: literacy efforts were well intentioned but not aligned around the research on how students actually learn to read. Instead of searching for another program or quick fix, Marietta City Schools focused on investing in people. The district committed to building educator expertise, aligning leadership and professional learning around structured literacy, and embedding literacy support throughout the system. Dr. Rivera also shares how Marietta expanded its vision beyond the classroom—partnering with hospitals, early childhood providers, and community organizations to support literacy development from birth through high school.This conversation offers valuable insights for superintendents, district leaders, literacy coaches, and educators working to improve reading outcomes and create sustainable literacy change.GuestDr. Grant Rivera Superintendent, Marietta City Schools (Georgia)Resources MentionedMarietta City SchoolsMarietta City Schools: Literacy Resources FolderMarietta City Schools: District Literacy Initiative NewsAIM Institute – Marietta City Schools Literacy Leadership Story

Our homes are more than places we live — they are energetic environments that can influence how we think, feel, and move through life. In this episode of A Psychic's Story, Nichole Bigley welcomes Feng Shui practitioner and energy reader Danijela Saponjic. For more than twenty years, Danijela has guided individuals, entrepreneurs, and leaders in transforming homes and workspaces so their environments support clarity, alignment, and growth. Danijela explains that Feng Shui is far more than rearranging furniture or decorating a space. Rooted in Taoist philosophy and practiced for thousands of years, Feng Shui explores the relationship between our environment and the flow of life energy. When our spaces reflect our vision and intentions, they can support opportunity, harmony, and transformation. Danijela also shares how her journey into Feng Shui began unexpectedly. After studying business administration and struggling to find work as a young mother, she came across an article about how changes in a home's environment could shift personal energy. Curious but skeptical, she experimented with decluttering her apartment — and soon experienced surprising changes in her life circumstances. That experience sparked a deeper exploration into Feng Shui and ultimately led to the global work she does today. Listen to hear Nichole and Danijela discuss: What Feng Shui really means beyond design or décor. How the energy of homes and land can influence our lives. The intuitive ways energy can be heard, sensed, and interpreted. Why decluttering and shifting your environment can create meaningful life changes. The Taoist concept of Heaven Luck, Human Luck, and Earth Luck. Together, they explore how our homes often mirror what is happening internally — emotionally, energetically, and spiritually — and how aligning our environment can support the life we are meant to create.

What does it take to run investor relations for one of the most recognized brands in America — a company that's been public for nearly 150 years, serves tens of millions of customers, and is under constant scrutiny from investors, regulators, and the public alike? Today's guest, Brett Feldman, has the answer. As Senior Vice President — Investor Relations and Treasurer at AT&T, Brett oversees IR for a company with a market cap north of $175 billion and a retail investor base that makes up roughly a third of its shareholders — many of whom are also AT&T customers. Brett brings a perspective that's genuinely rare in IR: he started his career in IR, spent 20 years as a sell-side equity analyst, and returned to the corporate side. That full-circle experience shapes how he thinks about everything from analyst relationships to internal communications to the fundamental purpose of an investor relations function. In this conversation, Brett and Mark Fasken go deep on what it really means to align perception and reality — and why getting that wrong has a measurable cost to your company's shareholders. Listen to the full episode to learn more about: The financial case for investor relations — and why volatility is the metric that matters How AT&T communicates consistently across investors, regulators, employees, and customers The internal IR work that most companies overlook What the sell side actually cares about (and what IROs misunderstand) Why smaller companies should build relationships with analysts who are obsessed with their business — not just the ones with the biggest brand names Winning IR is brought to you by Irwin.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with Connie Alexander and Gene Darden to unpack the real power of getting in the right rooms. From masterminds and industry events to late-night strategy conversations that change the trajectory of your business, this conversation dives deep into why collaboration—not isolation—is the real growth engine for agents. Connie and Gene share the story behind launching the Further Together event in Birmingham, an agent-led gathering designed to bring real estate professionals together to share ideas, strategies, and momentum for the year ahead. They break down how events like this are created, why agents need them now more than ever, and how one room can completely change your career. If you've ever wondered whether attending events, masterminds, or networking rooms actually matter, this episode is a powerful reminder that the right conversation at the right time can unlock your next level. As John says: sometimes the lesson you need is already in the room—you just have to show up. Key Topics Covered The Power of Getting in the Right Room Why the biggest breakthroughs often happen in conversations outside the stage How mastermind environments accelerate growth and collaboration The value of surrounding yourself with agents who want others to win The Story Behind the "Further Together" Event Why Connie and Gene launched an agent-led event for the Birmingham real estate community Creating a space where agents can collaborate regardless of brokerage Designing an event focused on growth, learning, and real conversations Why Events Matter More Than Ever How isolation limits growth for entrepreneurs and agents The importance of community in a rapidly changing real estate industry Why relationships—not tactics—often create the biggest breakthroughs Breakthrough Moments from Industry Events Connie's life-changing experience at a Tom Ferry event that shifted her perspective on real estate as a business Gene's first Kitchen Table mastermind experience and how it expanded his vision The unexpected relationships and opportunities that come from simply showing up Designing a Successful Real Estate Event How Connie and Gene approached building the Further Together event Aligning the vision, budget, speakers, and experience Why collaboration and clear roles make events successful The Future of Real Estate Collaboration Why AI, shifting consumer behavior, and industry changes make collaboration essential How events help agents adapt faster and stay ahead The importance of learning from agents at every stage of the business Resources & Mentions Further Together Birmingham Event → https://furthertogether26birmingham.ticketspice.com/further-together-2026-birmingham Seven Figure Strategy Call → 7FigureCall.com John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Kitchen Table Mastermind Final Takeaway The right room can change everything. One conversation. One relationship. One idea you hadn't considered. That's why the best agents invest in getting around people who think bigger, share openly, and push each other forward. As Gene puts it: "You never know which conversation is going to change your business. But you'll never find it if you don't get in the room." And as Connie reminds us: "This is an industry built on relationships—and that includes the relationships we build with each other." Because in real estate—and in life—we truly go further together.

Jonathan Haidt's, "The Happiness Hypothesis," presents a helpful metaphor for coaching: the elephant and the rider. The elephant symbolizes our emotional, intuitive self—the instinctive reactions that show up when a lesson flops, a student refuses to engage, or a new initiative feels overwhelming. The rider represents our rational, planning, problem-solving self that sets goals, analyzes progress, and decides what we should do next. Coaching for happiness does not mean avoiding challenges or protecting teachers from discomfort. Rather, it means helping teachers interpret challenges as meaningful, discomfort as temporary, and progress as real.

While agrifood innovation often celebrates bold founders and breakthrough technologies, what happens when the incentives of corporates, startups and investors don't quite align? In this live recording from evokeAG in Melbourne, Sarah Nolet is joined by Brad Fruth, Director of Innovation at Beck's Hybrids, and Frank Wooten, CEO of ArkeaBio and co-founder of Vence (acquired by Merck Animal Health). Together, they explore the “sweet spot” of agtech innovation, i.e. the balance between what customers and corporations want, while recognizing the constraints that innovators and investors face. Brad shares how Beck's Hybrids, the largest family-owned retail seed company in the US, approaches innovation: rather than having a corporate venture arm, they focus on being internal problem-solvers and trusted matchmakers between startups. Meanwhile, Frank Wooten speaks candidly about the realities of raising venture capital in agriculture; where billion-dollar exits are rare, timelines are long, and alignment with customers matters more than valuation headlines. Sarah, Brad, and Frank discuss: Why “free pilots” can devalue agtech products before they've proven themselves. How corporations can support innovation without becoming distracted by it. The risks founders face when fundraising incentives distort execution priorities. The surprising advantages of Australian agriculture, from customer density to experimentation culture.

Clear and transparent communication about price increases helps clients feel informed and respected, reducing discomfort and maintaining trust. 4. Many hairstylists struggle with price increases because of psychological barriers such as fear of rejection and scarcity mindset rather than actual client resistance. 5. Emotional maturity in business decisions allows stylists to separate personal validation from pricing decisions and focus on long-term business health. 6. Sustainable pricing allows hairstylists to avoid burnout by working fewer hours while maintaining or increasing overall income. 7. Consistent pricing strategies help hairstylists build stable careers instead of reacting to financial stress with sudden large price increases. 8. Aligning pricing with value ensures hairstylists are compensated fairly for their skill level, experience, and ongoing education.

Summary An intumescent coating can be qualified or disqualified for use simply because it falls above or below a certain magical hardness level, usually as measured on the Shore D scale. But hardness has no influence on performance, and the Shore D scale just doesn't make sense when assessing softer intumescent technology types. Fireproofing industry veteran Michael Hollman explains the consequences of misusing Shore D hardness in intumescent coating specifications.

“Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and married one of his daughters. He brought her to live in the City of David until he could finish building his palace and the Temple of the Lord and the wall around the city.” (1 Kings 3:1 NLT) Solomon’s fall and disillusionment began with a series of compromises, one of which involved marrying the daughter of Pharaoh. Solomon did this because he wanted to establish a political alliance with Egypt. It was a strategic move. For all practical purposes, Solomon “yoked” himself unequally with a nonbeliever—something God had forbidden. God had told the Jewish people not to intermarry with other nations. This was not a racial issue; it was a spiritual issue. God didn’t want the Israelites aligning themselves with people who worshipped false gods. He knew how powerful the temptation of idolatry was. He knew that the Israelites’ hearts would turn away from Him if they established relationships with nonbelievers. God’s warning should resonate with His people today as well. We have an enemy who will use anything—including other people—to disrupt our relationship with God. And when those other unbelieving people inspire a romantic attraction in us, their negative impact is magnified. That’s how the devil took down Samson, perhaps the strongest man who ever lived. Samson had a natural attraction to Philistine women, even though they were not only idol worshippers but also enemies of Israel. The devil fanned the flames of attraction until Samson turned his back on his spiritual responsibilities to pursue ill-considered relationships. The race that is set before us as God’s people is difficult. A wise strategy is to run it with a partner who loves the Lord as much as you do. If you are a single person, you should pray for and wait on the godly man or woman that the Lord will bring into your life. You can be sure He would not want you romantically involved with a person who does not believe. The struggles, temptations, and negative influences are simply too great to be ignored. The Bible tells us, “Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?” (2 Corinthians 6:14–15 NLT). In the race of life, you want to run with someone who is going in the same direction that you are. And if you are Christians, both you and your mate will be running toward the Lord and His plan and purpose for your lives. Solomon did not live by that principle. He teamed up with people who did not share his faith or his God. Be wiser than the wisest man who ever lived. Don’t become a partner with an unbeliever.
