What if the biggest thing holding you back in business isn't your funnel, your offer, or even your strategy …but your brain? In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Dr. Shannon Irvine - entrepreneur, neuroscientist, coach, and author of the brand-new book The 67 Day Year. Shannon has helped thousands of business owners rewire their thinking so success isn't just possible - it's inevitable. We dive into: Why your brain is wired for safety, not success - and how to flip the switch so growth feels natural instead of threatening. How to identify and break subconscious “brake pedal” beliefs (like “I'm not enough” or “No one will buy this”) that stall your momentum. The priming process elite athletes use to train their brains for performance—and how you can apply it to launches, sales calls, and big stages. Shannon also unpacks her Mind Matrix tool and shares why rewiring your brain is the fastest way to unlock higher income, influence, and impact - without burning out or adding 27 new strategies to your plate. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” and still not getting the results you want, this episode will show you what's really going on under the hood - and how to change it. Grab Shannon's new book The 67 Day Year at 67dayyearbook.com. When you do, you'll get free access to the audiobook and a workbook to help you implement the process step by step.

I called myself a healer, and that alone was enough to trigger people.But judgment isn't new to me. From being a farmworker's daughter in Idaho, to a counselor dismissed because of how I looked, to an author, teacher, and CEO leading a national healing tour, I've been underestimated, doubted, and judged my entire life.In this raw episode, I share:Why the people doing worse than you often have the loudest opinions.What Brené Brown's ‘arena' quote has taught me about ignoring critics.How being the underdog (David vs. Goliath energy) shaped my calling.Why healing requires movement — and how to know if you're ‘her,' the cycle breaker.This episode will light a fire under you to stop circling, step into your purpose, and finally break the patterns holding you back.
Christians ought not to drop like other men in the day of trouble. A wicked man's boldness, and a Christian's cowardliness, in times of affliction, are alike ungrounded and uncomely. Why should thy heart, Christian, despond and sink at this rate, upon the prospect of approaching troubles? Are there not safe and comfortable chambers taken up, and provided for thee against that day? Is not the name of the Lord a strong tower, into which thou mayest run and be safe?

Today, Ceri talks about rejection. Something that is a part of every artist's life - Applications declined. Emails ignored. Opportunities missed. And let's be honest—it stings. For many artists, especially those who are neurodivergent, it doesn't just sting. It burns. There's even a name for this: Rejection Sensitivity. It's more than hurt feelings—it can feel like an existential threat, a collapse, a shame spiral. Maybe you've avoided applying. Withdrawn from people. Overreacted to feedback. If so, you're not alone. But here's the good news: you're not broken. This is a common pattern, and you can learn ways to soften its impact. In this episode, Ceri walks you through some steps and reflections to help you notice rejection, reframe it, and keep creating. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Unchecked rejection sensitivity quietly shapes careers. It can hold you back from applying, make you quit too soon and keep you isolated. Or you may overcompensate, work twice as hard, say yes to everything and people-please your way into exhaustion. • Ceri shares 10 steps for dealing with rejection in a healthy way, so you can recognise, reflect on, reframe and learn from rejection and carry on creating. • If you have a rejection that you are still hanging onto, reframe it today. Release yourself from the negativity that surrounds rejection. You don´t have to let it continue to hold you back. You can choose to release yourself. BEST MOMENTS “Rejection is not proof you don't belong. It's proof you're showing up.” “Rejection isn't the enemy. Silence isn't the enemy. Avoidance is. Not showing up is. And you—you're already showing up. That's where the magic begins.” “Step one is to recognise the pattern. First you have to notice it. Rejection shows up in emotions, the stories we tell ourselves and in the body - a tight chest, a racing heart, a stomach drop.” EPISODE RESOURCES If you prefer reading over listening?

Why memberships are one of the most predictable ways to build recurring revenue without burning out creating endless new content. The simple paid ads funnel that pays for itself while warming up buyers for your higher-ticket programs.

Today we're diving into one of the most fundamental tools you'll encounter in clinical practice: the ventilator. Mechanical ventilation can seem intimidating at first, but understanding how it works is essential for keeping your patients safe and for making adjustments in real time. We've invited Richard Wilson, DNAP, CRNA, AANA of Ursuline College to the show to help us understand the fundamentals of mechanical ventilation. He shares insights on how ventilation and oxygenation are key goals in anesthesia, and walks through how understanding the different modes of ventilation—volume control, pressure control, SIMV, and more—can help CRNAs tailor their care. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel, former Director of MBA Admissions at Wharton, takes you behind the scenes of the admissions office to show how applications are actually read. From transcripts and essays to activities, recommendations, and test scores, Thomas explains what admissions officers focus on and how they build a three-dimensional picture of each applicant. Key Takeaways: Applications are often reviewed in just three to five minutes, so clarity and strategy matter. Transcripts are scored separately, then weighed alongside essays, activities, and recommendations. Admissions officers don't always read in order—they jump across sections to connect the dots. Context matters: family responsibilities, school resources, and personal chall enges shape how an application is viewed. Strong recommendations highlight character and classroom presence, not just academic success. Additional essays should clarify key details, not overload with extra information. The best applications give admissions officers a clear, memorable story they can advocate for in committee. Whether you're aiming at Ivy League and T20 schools, or simply want to understand how admissions officers evaluate files at competitive colleges, this episode will help you prepare an application that works under real review conditions.

The Healthtech Marketing Podcast presented by HIMSS and healthlaunchpad
In this episode, I'm joined by three exceptional members of our Healthtech Marketing Network - Mariana Small, Elena Putilina, and Amy Swanson - who spearheaded our first-ever AI Cohort project. Together, they surveyed over 100 healthtech marketing leaders to understand how our community is actually using AI in their day-to-day work, moving beyond the hype to examine practical applications and real challenges.The research revealed some fascinating insights about where we stand as an industry. While 93% of respondents are using AI in some capacity, very few organizations have successfully integrated AI into their core workflows or developed strategic roadmaps for implementation. Perhaps most telling, almost no one is measuring AI's impact beyond basic productivity metrics, creating a significant gap between leadership's enthusiasm and actual business value demonstration.While leadership teams are generally supportive and see potential value, they're looking for AI to drive demand generation and performance improvements - not just cost savings. However, marketers are struggling with workflow integration, tool selection overwhelm, and demonstrating clear ROI. The community has identified four key areas where they need help: AI-based search optimization, future skills development, creating repeatable workflows, and establishing governance frameworks.This research confirms we're still in the early stages of AI adoption in healthtech marketing, but it also provides a clear roadmap for moving from experimentation to strategic implementation.

You've already sold to shops. Maybe you've got a handful of stockists, or you've had some one-off wholesale orders that felt exciting at the time. But now things feel inconsistent.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of September 26th Publish Date: September 26th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, September 26th and Happy Birthday to Tommy Lasorda I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal New round of community grants for literacy open with reading by Super Bowl champ Will Cagle wins vacant Cherokee County commissioner seat Dickerson wins runoff for open Georgia Senate seat Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 1: New round of community grants for literacy open with reading by Super Bowl champ The Georgia Reads program is back, offering $20,000 grants to boost literacy across the state. And who better to kick things off than Super Bowl champ-turned-literacy advocate Malcolm Mitchell? On Monday, Mitchell read to 400 fourth graders at the College Football Hall of Fame, sharing his book The Magician’s Hat—and a little inspiration. He’s on a mission, attending 75 reading events a year. Mitchell’s foundation, Share the Magic, has been changing lives since 2016. The program, backed by the Georgia Council on Literacy, comes as state test scores show room for improvement—only 43% of fifth graders scored proficient in English last year. Lawmakers are investing millions in teacher training and student screenings, hoping to turn things around. Communities like Dalton and Augusta are already using past grants to teach parents about literacy. Applications for this year’s grants are open now—details on the Georgia Reads website. STORY 2: Will Cagle wins vacant Cherokee County commissioner seat Republican Will Cagle is poised to take the Cherokee County District 1 Commissioner seat, with unofficial results showing a decisive win. By 9:37 p.m. Tuesday, Cagle had secured 75.19% of the vote—8,887 ballots—while Democrat Charles Ravenscraft trailed with 24.81% (2,932 votes). Cagle thanked voters for their turnout, even during Fall Break. Ravenscraft, gracious in defeat, congratulated Cagle. Cagle’s win follows a runoff after no candidate cleared 50% in August. Results await certification. STORY 3: Dickerson wins runoff for open Georgia Senate seat Republican Jason Dickerson is set to become Georgia’s next state senator for District 21, according to unofficial results. By 9:55 p.m. Tuesday, Dickerson, an investment manager from Canton, had secured 61.47% of the vote (19,061 ballots), defeating Democrat Debra Shigley, an attorney from Milton, who garnered 11,950 votes. At his Canton watch party, Dickerson shared that representatives of Donald Trump had called to congratulate him. Shigley, conceding Tuesday night, and thanked her supporters. The seat was vacated earlier this year when Brandon Beach was appointed U.S. treasurer. Results await certification. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 4: Three sentenced for trafficking meth in Cherokee County Three people are heading to prison after pleading guilty to meth trafficking and other charges, the Cherokee County DA’s office announced. Justin Carl Benson, 29, of Canton, got 10 years without parole for meth possession with intent to distribute and giving false info to police. Heather Sparrow Bird, 49, also of Canton, was sentenced to 15 years (parole possible) for trafficking meth, plus charges involving oxycodone, clonazepam, alprazolam, and marijuana. Terry Raymond Spriggs, 53, received 20 years without parole for meth trafficking and theft charges. The case began in July 2023 with a 911 call about suspicious activity on Lower Scott Mill Road. Deputies found a stolen truck, drugs scattered throughout a home, and even a stolen Harley in the yard. STORY 5: Canton looks to bond to fund fire station renovations Canton’s Fire Station 16 is finally getting the overhaul it desperately needs. On Sept. 18, the city council gave the green light to move forward with a revenue bond to fund the $8 million renovation. Here’s the deal: firefighters have been living in a mobile unit inside one of the bays since 2017—yes, 2017—because the building’s in such rough shape. The new plan? Permanent housing for firefighters, more space for services, and a design that honors the station’s century-old legacy. The bond, expected to close in November, will cover $5.8 million, with impact fees paying off the debt. Construction starts in 2026. Finally. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

We all want to make a difference with our work. The trouble is that the busyness of a coffee shop tends to pull our attention in a million different directions and we rarely get an opportunity to see if indeed we are making that difference. This leads to a lot of stress, burn out, and a demoralization that can easily shut down a business by first shutting you down as the leader. Today on shift break, we are going to be talking about some mindsets and strategies you can use to checkin in on and stay connected to the truth of the situation. The truth is you are doing better than you think and your continued work, when done in honor of your existing good work, is way more sustainable. Times are tough, it's time that you carved out time to see the truth and discipline yourself to reflect on the good as you go.

Episode Description:The journey from money chaos to money confidence isn't a straight line - it happens in stages. And understanding exactly where you are can help you focus on what you actually need next.Fresh off our 3-Day Money Reset Challenge, I'm sharing the 5 stages every woman moves through on her path to financial confidence:You'll discover:Stage 1: Money Avoidance (and why looking is always better than not looking)Stage 2: Money Awareness (when you have information but don't know what to do with it)Stage 3: Money Management (systems that work most of the time but you still second-guess decisions)Stage 4: Money Confidence (frameworks that work automatically without guilt or stress)Stage 5: Money Mastery (using money strategically to build wealth and create impact)Plus, why these stages aren't linear, why you can't skip the foundation-building that happens early on, and how to identify exactly where you are right now.Most women get stuck between Stages 2 and 3. They manage their money okay but never feel truly secure about their financial choices.What if 2025 was the year you moved to Stage 4?Ready to move beyond money management to true money confidence?

In this DCF Trends-Nomads at the Summit Podcast episode, the hosts from Data Center Frontier and Nomad Futurist sit down with Adrienne Pierce, CEO of New Sun Road, to explore the emerging frontier of sovereign and renewable energy solutions for modular data center deployment. With over 1,500 microgrids under management via the company's Stellar platform, Pierce brings a field-tested perspective on how flexible, AI-driven energy controls can empower edge and sub-10 MW data center systems—especially in regions where traditional grid infrastructure can't keep up with AI-era demands. This discussion dives into the real-world opportunities for modular, microgrid-powered data centers to unlock new markets, reduce energy costs, and create more resilient and autonomous compute infrastructure at the edge and beyond. Expect sharp insights into what it means to decouple data center growth from utility bottlenecks—and how the right energy intelligence can accelerate both sustainability and scalability.

Today Mary looks at a pivotal passage in Acts 16. We lay a groundwork of gratitude and thankfulness which are to mark our days on this earth. This is part of who we must be, to reflect to a lost and dying world our gratitude for the provision of salvation. If we are not thankful and filled with hope, who will be? Then we widen the lens and talk about Lydia and her testimony. The book of Acts is loaded from beginning to end not only with the history of the church and the Jew/Gentile paradigm, but contains patterns of living and dying we need to hear about even in 2025. Applications abound, and Lydia's story is no exception. Plus: on this Paul's 2nd missionary journey, we find a world-altering event that even Paul couldn't have planned for. God is in the details, just like He is with each of us. Be encouraged! He is on the throne and here we are in the West, fruit of – Acts 16.

I love getting to re-air classics. This one on barista manuals is a great one because it provide a structure for essentials that you can build on. Here is the truth though, manuals do not magically create a difference in your shop. They are only a tools to help you build and are meant to support people in the work toward a common goal. On today's encore episode we will be diving into the original episode from 2018 to go over 10 essential sections to include in your manual. It is my hope you will also explore the episodes linked in the show notes to really go deeper. Coffee is about serving people through coffee and when we discuss systems, structure, and tools, we must always bear in mind that these are meant to benefit our staff and our customers equally.

Fed rate drop, refinance rush, and a land price reset: what does it mean for the housing market now. Henry Washington, Kathy, and James explain why refinance applications jumped roughly 30 percent after 30-year mortgage rates slipped near 6.39 percent, how today's ARMs actually work, and why locking a refi now can beat waiting for future interest rates to fall. They outline a practical housing market prediction and forecast, expecting more transactions rather than a surge in home prices or housing prices, plus timing tips for listing into the spring when buyer activity historically rises. You will also get a reality check on the “great wealth transfer” and reverse mortgages, along with a land strategy playbook for a potential price decline, from targeting big-lot houses and infill splits to using seller financing to create equity and cash flow.

About Dr. Laura Gallaher:Dr. Laura Gallaher is a professional speaker and organizational psychologist who inspires driven self-starters to transform their relationship with themselves and accomplish more than ever. She combines insights on radical self-acceptance with humor to create a unique connection with her audience. Despite being a national best-selling author, Dr. Laura stands out from the typical "academic" personality of her PhD peers. Her notable achievements include being hired by NASA to reshape organizational culture after the Columbia accident, leading significant changes in performance management at Disney, and inspiring Yahoo's global teams to pursue transformation from within. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Laura Gallaher discuss:NASA's organizational culture and its role in major space disastersThe importance of psychological safety in high-stakes environmentsThe conflict between intuition and evidence-based decision-makingLeadership blind spots, self-awareness, and radical self-acceptanceBuilding trust, collaboration, and vulnerability within teams Key Takeaways:NASA's culture contributed to the Columbia tragedy by discouraging engineers from voicing concerns without hard data.Congress required NASA to undergo a culture change initiative before allowing shuttle flights to resume, embedding organizational development permanently at Kennedy Space Center.Dr. Laura's personal 360-degree feedback revealed blind spots, such as unintentional “bullying intellectually,” which led her to embrace radical self-acceptance.Tools like collaboration contracts and vulnerability exercises helped leaders manage defensiveness, foster trust, and improve team dynamics. "When you have higher self acceptance, it creates a path for others to do the same… because when you have high self acceptance, you can be vulnerable… but vulnerability is courageous, and courage is contagious.” — Dr. Laura Gallaher Connect with Dr. Laura Gallaher: Website: https://drlauragallaher.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-gallaher-phdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlauragallaher/Discover Your Self-Acceptance Score: https://selfacceptancequiz.com/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
