Food is such an integral part of not just culture, but of life in itself. It is the fuel that allows our hearts to beat, our lungs to breathe, and our cells to metabolize—powering every physiological process that sustains us. But with so much conversation surrounding food, from restrictive diet culture to viral wellness trends, nourishment can become clouded by confusion, fear, and misinformation. How many meals should we actually eat per day? What are seed oils, and should we really avoid them? Are artificial sweeteners truly a better choice than sugar? Do green juice cleanses actually work?In this episode, we are joined by Stephanie Chen, MS, RDN, LDN, a Boston, MA-based registered dietitian and nutritionist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Enhanced (CBT-E) and the Family-Based Treatment (FBT).Stephanie earned her MS in Clinical Psychology (with research on novel body image) from Missouri State University and later earned a second MS in Nutrition Science from Boston University.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I want to slow things down and really take stock of what this past year has looked like. We are in the final stretch of 2025, and if you are anything like me, it feels like it flew by. A lot changed this year. Not just in business or the industry, but personally. Wins, losses, pressure, doubt, growth. Different stories, same emotions. That is the human experience, and it is something we all share whether we talk about it or not. What stood out to me most this year is how extreme the outcomes have been. I have seen people thrive in ways they never imagined, and I have seen others barely hanging on. Some are healthier, stronger, and more confident than ever. Others are exhausted, disconnected, and avoiding hard truths. Marriages strengthening, marriages breaking. Businesses exploding, businesses stuck. When you step back and look at it honestly, there is one common denominator in all of it. Us. Personal accountability is unavoidable. When multiple areas of life feel off, it is not the market, the timing, or other people. It starts with me. I have always had a soft spot for new years. Not because a calendar magically fixes anything, but because it gives people permission to begin again. I know the jokes. The gym fills up. People talk about goals and resolutions like they are pointless. Maybe some people fall back into old habits. I was that person for years. I would promise change, see a little progress, then sabotage it and end the year right where I started or worse. Big wins followed by bigger self destruction. That cycle is exhausting and it limits long term growth. Back in 2014, everything was on the line for me. My marriage was strained. My finances were tight. My health was declining. My mindset was dark. I was not showing up as a husband, a father, or a leader. I was going through the motions, and when you do that long enough, you feel the gap between who you want to be and how you are actually living. That gap is misery. What changed was not motivation. It was responsibility. I learned something critical during that season. Doing the right things today does not erase the consequences of yesterday. You still have debts to pay, relationships to repair, habits to rebuild. Progress does not show up instantly. But it does show up consistently if you stay the course. That is where the idea of the 300 Empire came from. Small daily actions compounded over time. Hours in the gym. Hours studying. Hours sharpening skills. Over time, it changes everything. Not overnight, but permanently. That lesson still applies today. Year after year, the investment compounds. When you put that much time into your mind, body, and craft, it becomes nearly impossible to stay the same. You move faster. You gain confidence. You operate with clarity. The same applies to business. Systems, processes, coaching, repetition. None of it is accidental. It all starts with taking care of yourself first. As we move toward 2026, here is the truth. A new year does not fix anything on its own. Doing the right things occasionally does not either. The difference is doing the right things consistently. When you see people far ahead, it is not because they are smarter or luckier. It is because they are willing to do things others are not. The real question is not what you want. It is what you are willing to do. Peace comes when you stop comparing and start deciding. Decide what you truly want. Decide what success looks like for you. Then commit to the actions that support it. There is no bottom to how bad things can get if you avoid responsibility. But there is also no ceiling on what you can create when you take ownership and stay disciplined. Today is always a good day to begin again. Reader reflection questions What patterns from this past year do you need to take responsibility for instead of avoiding What are the daily actions you know you need to commit to but have been resisting What version of success would actually bring you peace rather than comparison Notable quotes "Rarely does someone destroy their life in a single decision. It is usually a series of small moments ignored over time." "Doing the right things today does not erase the consequences of yesterday, but over time it changes everything."

Racially Hostile Work Environment and Retaliation: Tim Kittle v. Mavis Discount Tire

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Start with a high performer, add an ugly burst of harassment, and end with a firing justified by a $600 regulatory fine—then ask what the law actually sees. We walk through Kittle v. Mavis Tire to unpack how retaliation can survive early motions while discrimination claims stumble on doctrines like “stray remarks” and the severe or pervasive standard. The story moves from profit turnarounds and bonuses to alleged slave-era taunts, a Nazi salute, and a warning that reporting the issue would “cost you your job,” followed by a rapid transfer and termination. That tight timeline becomes the spine of a viable retaliation claim, even as the court initially dismisses the federal discrimination and hostile environment counts.We get practical about proof. Where's the link between the people using slurs and the people who made the firing decision? How do comparators work, and why do courts demand names, dates, and matching details? We also dig into the DMV waiver pretext: approved by management, paperwork allegedly in hand, and yet transformed into the official reason for termination. When Kittle amends his complaint, he does two big things—alleges behind-the-scenes influence on the decision-makers and pivots to the New York State Human Rights Law's “treated less well” standard, a crucial shift that lowers the bar for a hostile work environment claim compared with Title VII.The final turn is about technology and fairness. If a company auto-deletes audio and video after 30 days, how can anyone prove brief but severe harassment? We explore how data retention policies, legal holds, and fast reporting can make or break a case, and why retaliation claims often become the path to accountability when direct evidence of bias is thin. Listen for a clear, candid map of performance records, timelines, pretext analysis, and state-versus-federal standards—and walk away with a sharper sense of how to document, escalate, and protect yourself when the stakes are high. If this breakdown helps, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to support more deep dives like this.

#105: Cringe-Free BigLaw Goals for Associates in the New Year

Big Law Life

As the year closes, I'm focusing in this episode on BigLaw goals for associates without resorting to platitudes, firm retreat slogans, or vague resolutions that quietly collapse by February. After years as an equity partner in BigLaw, I've seen that the associates who actually move forward are not the ones making dramatic promises to work less, do everything better, or reinvent themselves overnight. Instead, the associates who most often make progress are the ones who focus on taking smaller, actionable steps in specific, visible ways that compound inside a system that is in many ways beyond their control. In this episode, I walk through what that looks like in practice. We talk about why goals built around staffing, hours, or personality change usually fail, and what BigLaw actually rewards instead: reducing friction for partners, exercising judgment, managing up, and being predictable and reliable in ways that matter. I explain concrete behaviors partners notice when evaluating and promoting associates, including how you frame decisions, communicate risk and timing, and signal judgment without overstepping. This is about learning how to operate more effectively inside BigLaw as it exists, not as we wish it did. At a Glance 00:00 Why BigLaw goal-setting can feel hollow and frustrating - even cringey 01:19 Why extreme "everything must change" thinking misses what actually moves careers 02:40 Why goals tied to things you don't control quietly set you up to fail 03:40 The compounding advantage of getting slightly better in visible ways 04:08 Reducing friction: how partners actually experience working with you 04:29 Anticipation and judgment versus stopping exactly at the four corners of the assignment 05:57 Managing up by framing decisions instead of asking open-ended questions 06:44 Predictability, early flags, and why silence is riskier than bad news 08:00 How BigLaw gives you positive feedback without ever saying "good job" 09:17 Why choosing one key incremental improvement beats trying to fix everything 10:06 The practical bottom line for building momentum year over year For Apple Podcasts, click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select "Write a Review."

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about momentum, certainty, and why the next level of growth always demands a higher standard from us. As we head into a new year, I can feel it clearly. This organization is not slowing down. We are just getting started. After years of grit, hard decisions, and building when it was uncomfortable, everything is beginning to align. And that alignment comes from one thing above all else. Internal certainty. Over the last decade, I have learned that confidence does not come from positive thinking or hoping things work out. It comes from conditioning yourself to win. Showing up for the small commitments. Executing on what you said you would do. Setting targets and hitting them over and over again. That repetition creates belief. And belief creates momentum. When obstacles show up, and they always do, certainty keeps you grounded because you know it is only a matter of time before you figure it out. As an organization, we are very different than we were five years ago. The systems are sharper. The execution is faster. The scale is bigger. But the core has never changed. The belief system. The faith. The work ethic. What has changed is the number of people willing to operate at that level together. When you surround yourself with individuals who show up regardless of how they feel, momentum multiplies. Wins stack faster. Growth accelerates. And suddenly what once felt impossible becomes the next logical step. Opening a new office is not about convenience or expansion for the sake of expansion. It is a declaration. It is a statement that we are here to build something lasting. That we are willing to take on more responsibility, more pressure, and more challenges because that is what growth requires. I know there will be stress. I know there will be moments where it feels heavy. But I also know that every new standard feels foreign at first. And if you stay consistent, clarity always follows. What I want people to understand is this. Growth is never about becoming someone else. It is about deciding who you are and refusing to shrink back. When you stop challenging yourself, when you choose comfort over progress, motivation fades. The work slows down. And before you know it, you are watching others pass you by. That feeling is far worse than any challenge that comes from going all in. There is a cost to action, but there is a bigger cost to doing nothing. If something is on your heart and soul, and you have done the work to build the foundation, you owe it to yourself and your family to move forward. Not from emotion. Not from pressure. But from certainty. Certainty that you will not quit. Certainty that you will figure it out. Certainty that this is who you are. As we step into what is next, I want people to take an honest look at the environment around them. The support. The leadership. The access. This is not common. And it is not accidental. It is built by people who refuse to slow down, who hold the line, and who continue to show up even when it would be easier not to. That is what creates something special. And that is what makes the next chapter inevitable. Reader Reflection Questions Where in your life or business are you playing it safe instead of stepping into the next standard you know you are capable of What daily commitments are you either honoring or avoiding that are shaping your level of certainty If you truly decided that this is who you are now, what decision would you stop postponing Notable Quotes "Internal certainty comes from conditioning yourself to win on a consistent basis." "There is a bigger cost to doing nothing than there is to taking the risk." "This is not about who I want to become. This is who I am." Follow A.Z.

Tonya Leadman went nine months without a single placement. Seven searches were put on hold. Two offers fell through. Cash flow tightened. And her accountant called to check if she was okay. Tonya is the owner of Leadman & Associates, a national executive search firm serving the food, beverage, and CPG manufacturing industries. After building her career as a top performer in the MRI Network and later moving in-house as a Fortune 500 talent acquisition leader, she launched her own firm in 2022. Then the market turned — and placements stopped. In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, Tonya shares what actually keeps a recruitment business alive during a prolonged downturn — without dropping fees, spamming clients with resumes, or compromising standards. She also breaks down the candidate presentation system behind her 92% interview rate, why she only submits the top two or three candidates, and the activity that kept her visible when most recruiters disappeared. This is a real conversation about resilience, discipline, and leadership when placements stop. You'll learn: What to do when your recruitment business goes months without a placement How Tonya maintained standards during a nine-month drought Why submitting fewer candidates builds more trust with clients The candidate presentation process behind a 92% interview rate How staying visible during a downturn pays off when the market turns Why Tonya fired a client when cash flow was tight How career services helped stabilise revenue without losing focus How fast recruiting can turn around when momentum returns Episode timestamps: 00:00 Nine months without a placement 01:40 Returning from maternity leave to a layoff 03:10 The habits that shaped Tonya's early success 14:35 The candidate presentation system behind a 92% interview rate 18:19 Why Tonya submits only the top 2–3 candidates 30:33 Launching a firm during a tough market 39:00 Seven searches on hold and the drought begins 43:02 The activity that kept her business alive 44:30 Firing a client during a downturn 49:17 Career services as a stabiliser 51:05 How recruiting can turn around fast Guest: Tonya Leadman Owner, Leadman & Associates If you run a recruitment agency and want to survive market downturns without lowering your standards, this episode is essential listening.
