Kate has seen customers tear up while eating her hand pies, and the warm, nostalgic feelings tied with that buttery, flaky crust are indeed powerful. Stuffed with either sweet or savory fillings, her hand pies have transformative powers. Kate and I talked about how she's constantly coming up with new variations, how Carter & Rye grew from a side hustle in her full-time gig, the value of growing a business slowly versus rapid expansion, and more!

Should you invest in therapy, coaching, or both? And why does this question somehow feel more stressful than picking a health insurance plan? (Which, admittedly, is a very low bar.)In this episode, I'm answering some of the most common questions I hear about coaching and therapy. We talk about whether a degree automatically makes someone better at helping people, why insurance-covered therapy isn't always the bargain it seems, how to choose the right person to support your growth, and why fit matters more than most people realize. Along the way, I share a few stories from my own experiences, including a truly unforgettable 15-minute mental health appointment that left me wondering if I needed therapy for the therapy.Most importantly, we're talking about the return on investment of working on yourself. Because while a bigger house, a fancy car, or a dream vacation can be lovely, you're still bringing the same brain along for the ride. The skills that help you process emotions, set boundaries, challenge old beliefs, and stay calm when life gets messy? Those are gifts you get to keep forever. If you've been wondering whether investing in your emotional well-being is worth it, this episode is for you.CALM YOUR TITSWhat's that?

In this episode of The Simple and Smart SEO Show, Crystal Waddell revisits part one of her conversation with Andy Holland about performance SEO...the kind of SEO that focuses on sales, revenue, and meaningful business growth instead of vanity traffic.Andy breaks down why chasing massive traffic numbers can be misleading, especially when that traffic does not convert into revenue. He shares how bottom-of-funnel, buyer-intent pages can create real business impact, even when they do not bring huge traffic spikes. The big takeaway? SEO should help brands capture people who are ready to buy — not just attract people who are casually browsing.If you have ever wondered why your traffic is growing but your sales are not, this episode will help you rethink what SEO success should actually look like.Key Takeaways1. Performance SEO is about sales, not trafficAndy explains that performance SEO is focused on helping brands increase turnover and capture sales. Traffic graphs are interesting, but they do not tell the whole story if revenue is not growing.2. Not all traffic is valuableA website can attract hundreds of thousands of visitors and still fail to create meaningful business results. Andy gives the example of content that brings in massive traffic but attracts people who are nowhere near buying the actual product or service.3. Bottom-of-funnel content can be more profitableInstead of focusing only on top-of-funnel informational content, Andy shares how commercially focused pages with high purchase intent can dramatically increase revenue, even with very small traffic gains.4. Organic search helps capture today's buyersSEO works best when it helps your brand show up when people are already in buying mode. Andy compares search to a supermarket aisle: people are browsing, comparing, and deciding what to put in their basket.5. SEO creates small but powerful nudgesAndy describes SEO as a way to create online nudges that influence buyers at the moment they are deciding. Ranking organically gives your brand a chance to be part of that decision without paying for every click.Episode Highlights“Performance SEO is ultimately about turnover.”“Traffic has to be meaningful, not meaningless.”“Go do me a strategy that makes me money, not traffic.”Listener Action ItemsAudit your traffic: Look at your highest-traffic pages and ask: are these visitors likely to buy?Identify buyer-intent pages: Find the pages, products, or services that people visit when they are closer to making a decision.Stop chasing vanity metrics: Measure SEO by revenue, leads, conversions, and business impact — not just clicks.Create better nudges: Improve your product pages, service pages, comparison content, and purchase-intent content so buyers have a reason to choose you.Build SEO around profit: Focus your strategy on pages that support sales, not just pages that look good in a traffic report.Text me your questions or comments!Hey, Shopify store owners!

In this episode, we break down the growing world of lab testing, from beginner-friendly options like Function Health and InsideTracker to advanced biological age and longevity testing like the DunedinPACE and TruHealth test. We discuss the pros and cons of conventional lab ranges, AI interpretations, and how to determine which labs are actually worth your time and money depending on your goals. The conversation also dives into the rise of AI in healthcare, exploring both the incredible potential of AI-driven insights and the limitations of relying too heavily on technology without understanding the bigger picture of your health. Throughout the episode, we share our personal lab recommendations, funny real-life stories, and practical advice for implementing health recommendations on your own.

June in Washington State is 62 with $2.5 million saved and a $350,000 pension on the table. Should she take the lump sum or the monthly check for life? Spoiler alert: there's a 3-to-1 vote in the studio, and Big Al is the one, today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 581 with Joe Anderson, CFP®, and Big Al Clopine, CPA.

Are you actually too far forward when you ski? In this episode of First Chair, George Thomas talks with PSIA-AASI Alpine Team member Kevin Jordan about the “forward trap”—and why the common cue to “get forward” can sometimes do more harm than good. Based on his 32 Degrees article, Kevin breaks down the difference between “pushing” and “pulling” in your turns, how overdriving the front of the ski can cause the tails to break away, and what it really means to manage pressure throughout the turn. From practical cues to real-world teaching applications, this conversation gives instructors a clearer, more effective way to help guests create better turn shape and ski performance.

If you feel like people are finding you but not buying from you, this episode is going to connect a lot of dots. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm sharing behind-the-scenes insights from my private Back Pocket Insights podcast, where I coach through real questions from service-based entrepreneurs navigating growth. This is for those of you sitting in a revenue plateau, doing the visibility work, but not seeing consistent conversions. After 9 years of experience, I can tell you this is rarely about needing more leads. It's about gaps in your business strategy, specifically inside your pipeline and sales process. In this episode, I break down what's actually changed in buyer behavior, why people aren't moving as quickly as they used to, and how overworking your leads can actually hurt your revenue growth. This is about building a smarter, more intentional pipeline that supports real business growth.What You'll Learn:The missing steps in your pipeline that are blocking conversionsWhy buyers no longer move from awareness to decision quicklyHow to strengthen your lead generation and nurturing processWhat “overwatering” looks like in your sales process and content strategyHow to balance follow-up with giving prospects space to decideWhy patience and timing are critical for sustainable revenue growthEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: Back Pocket Insights and coaching-style episodes[03:00] The trust economy and what's actually changed in buyer behavior[06:00] Pipeline breakdown: awareness, interest, consideration, decision[09:00] Missing pipeline stages and why leads aren't converting[13:00] The “overwatering” analogy and what it means in business[17:00] Over-following up, over-creating, and slowing down growth[20:00] Letting your pipeline work without forcing resultsKey Takeaways:Your Pipeline Is Missing Critical StepsHere's what I see constantly. Service-based entrepreneurs expecting people to go from discovering them straight to buying. And for a few years, that actually worked. During the COVID years, buyers were moving fast. Awareness to decision happened quickly.That's not the case anymore.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, the Pipeline pillar is all about movement. Awareness, interest, consideration, decision. If you're missing those middle stages, your business strategy is incomplete. People need more touchpoints now. They need time to explore, understand, and evaluate before they buy.If your conversion rate is low, this is one of the first places I look. Not more leads. Better movement through your pipeline.More Isn't Always Better. Sometimes It's Too MuchThis is where the “overwatering” concept comes in.I see this all the time. Over-following up. Over-posting. Over-explaining offers. Constantly trying to push people to a decision. And what happens? People pull away.Desperation energy is real. And your audience can feel it.Your sales process needs space. Your leads need space. Your content needs time to actually work. When you overwater, you don't speed up growth. You suffocate it.Buyer Behavior Has Slowed Down. Your Strategy Needs to AdjustBuyers today are more intentional. They are consuming more content. They are watching longer. They are making more educated decisions.That means your lead generation and sales process need to support that behavior. More nurturing. More value. More opportunities for people to experience you before they buy.But that does not mean more pressure.It means better structure. Better sequencing. Better timing.Growth Requires Patience and Strategic RestraintThis is the part most people don't want to hear. You can't force growth.After 9 years, I've seen this pattern over and over. The businesses that scale are the ones that know when to take action and when to step back. When to follow up and when to let things breathe.Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business growth is nothing. Let the content work. Let the relationship build. Let the pipeline do its job.That's CEO-level thinking. Not reacting. Not forcing. But trusting the strategy you've built and giving it the space to actually perform.Resources MentionedBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorJoin Back Pocket InsightsDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

This week, CJ shares a heartbreaking story from his classroom week after losing one of the family cats just before school started, and talks honestly about what it looks like to teach when life feels heavy. He answers questions about becoming a teacher resource, rebuilding trust with disconnected classes, making SEL lessons more meaningful, preparing students for major exams, using AI ethically, gardening, spring behavior shifts, getting into teaching later in life, and the difference between clear expectations and a harsh “no excuses” mindset.Chapters0:00 Episode 343 and a tough week emotionally1:10 New website update and newsletter mention2:05 Losing the family cat and teaching through grief5:20 It is okay to show up without pretending everything is fine6:37 Ernesto's question: how to become a teacher resource9:32 Ruth's question: rebuilding trust with a class trained not to care17:30 Heather's conference update and speaking invite note18:18 Ruth's question: making SEL lessons actually engaging22:10 Geography Teacher's question: reviewing for a national geography test27:08 Mandy's question: is it okay to use AI for evaluation responses?34:18 Mallory's question: beginner gardening tips and where to start41:20 Logos Project's question: why students dip before break46:20 Switching into teaching from engineering50:03 Advice for an 18-year-old future teacher54:12 Mentoring reminder and coaching wins55:42 Sweden question: the “no excuses” approach to education1:03:40 Technology in teaching: tool or crutch?1:06:00 Final encouragement and closing_____________________________________________________

If you grew up anywhere near Rockford, Illinois, in, oh, the last century or so, you probably have eaten at least a handful of Mrs. Fisher's potato chips. This regional delicacy started in Ethel Fisher's kitchen and still maintains that small-batch flavor, even as the company goes through 2.6 million pounds of local potatoes every year. So join Mrs. Fisher's vice president Chris Spiess as he takes the Under Rocks team on a tour of Rockford's salty treasure.

Louise Digby explains why exercise alone often doesn't drive fat loss, especially for women in their late 30s, 40s and beyond, and why doing more workouts can backfire. She shares client examples where high-intensity training combined with under-fuelling led to stress, increased hunger, fatigue, inflammation, cravings, sleep disruption and sluggish thyroid function, and how reducing intensity, prioritising recovery, increasing calories and improving nourishment helped symptoms resolve and weight begin to shift. Louise outlines how the body compensates after workouts through reduced daily movement, increased appetite, improved efficiency and stress responses, and emphasises that fat loss happens when internal conditions are right: energy availability, hormone signalling (insulin, thyroid, cortisol), nutrient sufficiency, nervous system state, sleep and muscle mass.

We've never had more access to information or more tools to make work faster and easier. But according to Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows and Superbloom, speed and efficiency come with trade-offs we rarely stop to examine. In this episode, Michael and Megan talk with Carr about the paradox of modern productivity: the very systems that help us scale our work can fragment our attention and erode the depth that makes that work meaningful. If you've felt stretched thin or subtly less present than you want to be, this conversation will help you re-evaluate your technology—and the life you're building with it.Memorable Quotes“Many people have this sense that as everything speeds up, we seem to be able to do more. But actually our attention gets fragmented and we're not thinking as straight as we used to…The basic mistake at a personal level is the assumption that human attention, human thought, human communication always gets better as it gets more efficient.”“At a certain point, we simply overload our natural mental and psychological capacity to communicate, to process information, to make coherent thoughts. And at that point, a reversal takes place in faster communication: faster flow of information actually undermines understanding, undermines productivity, and in the worst case scenario, can start undermining relationships as well.”“As we use the tools, they also shape us. And I think that's particularly true of information technologies, communication technologies, media technologies.”“One of the big problems is that [social media platforms] take all friction out of socializing. You think, ‘Oh, we don't want friction.' But actually, it's… making an effort, having to do some work, maybe even having to pay a little money for a stamp to put on an envelope—all of these things deepen our connection to what we're doing. Getting rid of all the friction makes everything very fast, but it also makes everything superficial.”“We're encouraged to take the path of least resistance all the time. And if people can just step back and say, ‘When is efficiency good? When is getting something done as quickly as possible the best way to accomplish it? And when is the product going to be better if I actually put more effort into it, if I work at it?'”“The way we master a skill, any skill, is by actually practicing it. Getting in there, coming up against friction, coming up against barriers and overcoming them. That's the only way to raise your level of mastery or expertise… If you just go the path of least resistance at the very beginning, then you never get that deep learning and you never get the joy of becoming talented.”“One of the dangers of this screen-based life that we haven't talked about is that it steals from us certain levels of sensory engagement with the world… there's a lot of joy in connecting to the world with all our senses that, if we constantly have this little rectangle of glass in front of us, we're losing.”Key TakeawaysFaster Isn't Always Better. At a certain point, efficiency overloads our cognitive and emotional capacity. More communication can undermine understanding, productivity, and even relationships.Tools Shape Their Users. We create technology, but over time, it reshapes how we think, communicate, and experience the world. Texting, scrolling, and AI-assisted writing subtly influence depth and nuance.Friction Fuels Mastery. Deep learning requires struggle. When we automate the hard parts—like reading closely, writing clearly, thinking critically—we sacrifice growth for convenience.AI Is a Fork in the Road. Used wisely, AI can sharpen ideas and support thinking. Used carelessly, it can replace the very mental practices that build wisdom and skill.Replacement Beats Removal. Simply cutting back on technology often leaves a vacuum. Replacing screen time with embodied, social, or sensory-rich experiences creates lasting change.Local Community Is a Powerful Antidote. Book clubs, gardening groups, shared meals and other face-to-face interactions restore depth in ways screens cannot replicate.Resources“Live a Quiet Life and Work with Your Hands” (Substack Article)Superbloom by Nicholas CarrThe Shallows by Nicholas Carrnicholascarr.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/9afbaUcmvYQThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Why training more isn't always the answer Most endurance athletes assume that getting better simply means doing more training. More miles. More hours. More big sessions. But after decades of coaching and competing, Simon argues that the athletes who achieve the best long-term results are rarely the ones doing the most volume. They are the ones who train consistently without breaking down. In this episode Simon and Beth explore the idea of durability versus volume, why chasing big sessions can backfire, and how athletes can build the resilience needed to train consistently for years rather than weeks.   5 Talking Points 1. The volume trap Many endurance athletes believe more training automatically leads to better results. 2. What durability really means Durability is the ability to train consistently without injury, illness or burnout. 3. The foundations of durable training Sleep, strength, mobility, nutrition and sensible training loads allow athletes to absorb training and recover. 4. Why hero sessions backfire Big one-off workouts often look impressive but can disrupt consistency if they leave you exhausted or injured. 5. Consistency beats intensity The athletes who improve the most are usually the ones who train steadily week after week.   3 Takeaways • Consistency beats volume when it comes to long-term endurance performance. • Durable athletes prioritise recovery, strength, sleep and sensible training loads. • Ask yourself before a big session: will this make me more durable or less durable?   Quote from the Episode “Fitness might come from a few big weeks of training. Real performance comes from years of consistent work.”   Stay strong. Stay curious. Stay Battle Ready. Want help building durable training?

Everything you've been told about doing more sets to build muscle is wrong. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher discuss the science behind single-set versus multiple-set training and what actually drives real strength and muscle growth. They break down a review paper comparing one set to three sets and share what the data says about hypertrophy and why effort matters more than volume. Tune in to hear why more isn't always better, how supervision changes outcomes, and how you can build muscle in far less time than you think. Dr. Fisher breaks down a review paper comparing one set versus three sets for muscle growth and strength.  Dr. Fisher covers how effort changes across multiple sets when rest periods are involved. He reveals that sometimes it takes several sets to reach the same fiber recruitment that one high-effort set can achieve. The real driver isn't volume alone, but intensity and muscle fiber stimulation. Dr. Fisher reveals that strength increased to virtually the same degree in both the single-set and three-set groups. Whether participants trained one set twice per week or three sets twice per week, the outcome was the same. Why muscle size didn't differ between one set and three sets. The study showed equal increases in hypertrophy regardless of volume. One properly executed set to a high degree of effort was just as effective as doing three normal sets. How beginners can build muscle with just one set is one of the most encouraging findings. Participants with no previous strength training experience saw measurable gains in just 12 weeks. Even one set per exercise, twice per week, was enough to stimulate growth. Dr. Fisher explains that this study aligns with a large body of previous research. One weekly set per session was comparable to six total weekly sets in outcomes. That makes single-set training dramatically more time-efficient. Amy explains that when you load muscles effectively and train with proper intensity, one set can deliver the stimulus you're looking for. The key isn't endless volume; It's focused, high-quality effort. Dr. Fisher highlights the importance of supervision in the gym. Many strength studies showing impressive gains are conducted under close guidance. Supervised training consistently outperforms unsupervised workouts. Why personal training dramatically improves results comes down to accountability and execution. Most people lack the consistency, form, and technical precision required to train effectively alone. A coach removes guesswork and ensures every set counts. Amy reveals why personal training solves the motivation problem. Around 80% of people struggle with long-term discipline in the gym. Having structured guidance keeps progress steady without relying on willpower alone. Dr. Fisher further explains why having a personal trainer benefits even experienced lifters.  How to achieve maximum results in minimal time is the core takeaway from this episode. According to Amy, one well-executed set, performed under proper guidance, can stimulate strength and muscle growth effectively.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

In this episode of the Rest, Eat, Move podcast, Matt challenges the booming protein craze, arguing that protein—especially protein powder—has become the new ultra-processed food. While whole foods are widely promoted for health, he highlights a “protein paradox” where that philosophy is abandoned in favor of highly processed powders, bars, and clear protein drinks marketed as healthier simply because they're high in protein. Matt explains how industrial processing strips protein of its original nutrients, increases acidity, and can negatively impact digestion, micronutrient intake, and nervous system balance over time. He contrasts this with whole foods, which naturally provide protein alongside essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and balance. Ultimately, he urges listeners to rely less on ultra-processed protein products, resist fear-based marketing, and return to common sense nutrition by eating a variety of real, minimally processed foods.#NutritionPodcast #ProteinMyths #RealFood #WellnessEducation

Cat81 Radiohttps://cat81radio.comShow Notes — Obedience Is Always BetterTeacher: Pastor Duane RobertsIn this clear and challenging message, Pastor Duane Roberts teaches that obedience to God is not a suggestion—it is essential. Obedience flows from trust and love for God, and it positions us to walk in His protection, peace, and purpose. Partial or delayed obedience may seem harmless, but it often leads to unnecessary struggle and missed blessings.Pastor Roberts reminds us that God sees what we cannot. Even when His instructions don't make sense in the moment, obedience aligns us with His perfect will. Choosing obedience daily strengthens our faith, sharpens our discernment, and keeps us under God's covering.This message encourages believers to trust God completely and obey Him fully, knowing His ways are always higher—and always better.Studio Cats: Jaggy and Tedi — rescued, loved, and thriving, quietly reminding us every day that obedience to God leads to restoration, protection, and a better outcome than we could ever create on our own.Cat81 Radio — Faith, encouragement, and hope… one story at a time

Master the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) with Ivan Gekht to resolve complex product contradictions and build ideal systems that deliver results without over-engineering. Most business owners don't struggle with a lack of ideas; they struggle with wasted effort and innovation bets that don't pay off. In this episode, Ivan Gekht, CEO of Gehtsoft, joins the show to discuss how his background in rocket science and high-stakes software engineering led him to a more predictable model for innovation. We dive deep into TRIZ—a framework built from studying hundreds of thousands of patents—to understand why the most effective systems are often those that eventually disappear while their benefits remain. From removing databases to increase trading speed to using nature-inspired algorithms to optimize logistics, this conversation is a masterclass in seeing problems differently to achieve "unfair" simplicity. In this episode: The 5 levels of innovation: Moving from known solutions to true breakthroughs. Contradiction Framing: Why resolving contradictions beats brainstorming every time. The "Ideal System": Achieving outcomes without the overhead of the system itself. Efficiency at Scale: Reducing logistics compute time from one hour to 40 seconds.

In this episode of the Care Ministry Podcast, host Laura Howe sits down with Mark Strickland and Matt Timpson from Milton Bible Church to explore what intentional, sustainable care looks like in a mid-sized church. Together, they unpack why Milton Bible has chosen to remain “decidedly mid-sized,” how administration can strengthen (not replace) relationships, and how care systems can support people without becoming cold or program-driven. The conversation offers practical insight into connect groups, prayer pathways, boundaries in care, documentation, and building a culture where people are truly seen—without trying to meet every need alone. Quotes “Administration should feed ministry and feed what's pastorally happening in the church—not the other way around.” — Matt Timpson “We don't want to just go wide. We want to go deep.” — Matt Timpson “When you get beyond a certain size, the organic care that once happened naturally starts slipping through the cracks, and systems help bridge that gap.” — Mark Strickland “You can have great systems, but if people aren't actually engaging with other people, something essential is missing.” — Mark Strickland“Care doesn't mean solving the problem. It means walking with people and connecting them to hope.” — Laura Howe Resources Care Ministry Cohorts Milton Bible Church Connect with Hope Made Strong Website: HopeMadeStrong.org Socials: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube

What We're Getting Wrong When Training Youth AthletesStrength, movement quality, and long-term resilience in youth sports with Matthew McKayBuilding resilient athletes isn't about pushing harder — it's about training smarter.In Part Two of this two-part series, Matthew McKay returns to the FAKTR Podcast to move from philosophy into real-world application. This episode builds directly on the foundation laid in Part One, shifting the focus toward practical strategies that support long-term athletic resilience, performance consistency, and injury prevention in young athletes.Matthew breaks down why unilateral training reveals what bilateral strength can hide, how movement quality should guide programming decisions, and how even warm-ups can serve as powerful assessment tools when you know what to look for. Rather than chasing short-term performance gains, this conversation emphasizes sustainability — helping athletes stay healthy, adaptable, and available across seasons and stages of development.This episode is especially valuable for healthcare providers, strength coaches, athletic trainers, and anyone working with middle school or high school athletes who want to support longevity without sacrificing performance.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why unilateral training plays a critical role in developing resilient young athletesHow bilateral strength can mask asymmetries and compensation patternsHow to use movement quality as an ongoing assessment toolStrategies for reducing injury risk without overloading developing bodiesHow to support consistency and performance without driving burnout

-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsWhat if the habits you're most proud of, like discipline, the mileage, and the wins, are quietly working against you?Alex Ostberg returns to the show to sit down with Dominic and unpack the ideas behind his four most recent Substack essays, each challenging a deeply held assumption in running and high performance.They tackle the popular mantra “the way you do one thing is the way you do all things.” Alex argues that greatness isn't about equal intensity everywhere, but intentional trade-offs, seasonal focus, and knowing what deserves obsession.From there, they discuss training load and why not all miles are created equal. Alex explains why injury risk is less about total mileage and more about how that load is built.The guys then take aim at a sacred post-workout ritual in Cooldowns Are Overrated. He reframes recovery around what actually matters most: refueling, rehydration, nervous system reset, and social decompression, rather than mindless extra miles on tired legs.Then they talk about the psychology of success in When Winning Stops Feeling Good, exploring why anticipation often feels better than achievement, and how rising expectations can quietly drain joy from performance. If you want to train smarter, think deeper, and understand the real costs (and rewards) of chasing excellence, this episode will change how you run, recover, and define success.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Oliver explains why we're all chasing an infinite backlog, how perfectionism keeps us from doing the work, the path from overwhelm to agency, why acceptance isn't resignation, and the mystical energy of completion. Along the way, Oliver diagnoses my biggest malfunction and exposes an uncomfortable truth about my people-pleasing tendencies. Oliver's work is vital.
