Brian breaks down how leaders can avoid this trap by embracing SMART principles—ensuring their communication and actions are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. From holding yourself accountable to fostering transparency, this episode is a must-listen for leaders who want to build lasting trust and influence.

Illinois needs over 100,000 units to fill a severe housing shortage. Gov. Pritzker has a new plan to address this problem, the Building Up Illinois Developments, or BUILD. Housing advocates say the BUILD plan will help with housing affordability, particularly in neighborhoods with high demand. But some are concerned that this plan will take power from local municipalities and open the door for big developments in areas with mostly single family homes. In the Loop learns more about the basics of the bill currently working its way through the Illinois House and Senate from Mawa Iqbal, WBEZ statehouse reporter. We hear potential pros of the plan from Jeff Baker, CEO, Illinois Realtors and potential cons from Doug Pollock, president, Village of Riverside.

Experts now estimate the country needs to build 10 million homes to meet demand—a near-impossible feat using traditional methods. Enter Lagom Development, a vertically integrated housing platform that combines innovative construction techniques with sustainable practices to make homeownership attainable for more people.In this interview, Lagom Development's founder and CEO, Skip Hulsey, discussed the company's approach to tackling this massive problem. Skip's solution involves integrating manufacturing, construction, and sales under one roof, leveraging Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) to build efficiently, affordably, and sustainably. “Our target is four hours from slab to a dried-in home,” Skip explained, emphasizing the remarkable speed at which they can build. “Instead of a weeks-long process, we're delivering a fully insulated, weather-ready shell in an afternoon.”Lagom Development's homes aren't just fast to construct—they're energy efficient, too. Skip noted that owners see substantial savings on utilities: “By our calculations, it's roughly equivalent to an additional mortgage payment every year in utility savings.” This groundbreaking approach reduces waste, shortens labor time, and cuts long-term energy costs, making it a win for both homeowners and the planet.To scale its vision nationally, Lagom Development is raising funds through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. This democratized approach to fundraising aligns with its mission to make homeownership accessible. “Allowing retail investors to come along for the ride,” Skip said, “helps us extend the same end goal of accessibility to more families.”Skip's journey to founding Lagom Development reflects his lifelong commitment to housing. He began framing homes as a teenager, worked in manufacturing and real estate, and later earned a master's degree in real estate development. COVID-19 served as a key turning point for him. “I saw that teachers, first responders, and service industry folks could no longer afford starter homes,” he said. Determined to find a solution, he created Lagom Development to reimagine what's possible for housing.For anyone interested in supporting or learning more about this impactful venture, visit Lagom Development's crowdfunding page or check out its innovative SIP technology. Skip's team is proving that with the right tools, partnerships, and approach, solving the housing crisis isn't just possible—it's within reach.tl;dr:Skip Hulsey introduced Lagom Development, a purpose-driven company addressing the U.S. housing crisis with scalable solutions.Lagom Development uses Structural Insulated Panels to build affordable, energy-efficient homes in just four hours.The company is raising funds through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder.Skip shared his personal journey in housing and his decision to pursue innovative solutions post-COVID.Skip's superpower—team building—has been critical to assembling a high-performance team at Lagom Development.How to Develop Team Building As a SuperpowerSkip's superpower is team building. In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, Skip attributed the success of Lagom Development to the strength of its team. He described his superpower as “getting others on board and believing in being able to achieve a shared mission.” He emphasized the importance of attracting talented individuals who share a common purpose, explaining, “I think it's always been and will continue to be about getting the right people on the bus.”Skip shared how he convinced a seasoned operations expert with over four decades of experience—including a career at Accenture—to join Lagom Development as its Chief Operations Officer. This hire was critical to Lagom Development's ability to scale its operations. As Skip explained, building a team depends on “selling the narrative” and fully believing in the mission. He noted that people are drawn to being part of projects that are bigger than themselves, especially when they sense real optimism and purpose.Tips for Developing Team-Building Skills:Burn the Boats: Commit fully to your mission and project to inspire others to join you.Stay Curious: Ask people about their experiences and engage in meaningful conversations to build connections.Evangelize the Vision: Share your belief in the mission and paint a compelling picture of what's possible.Work Hard: Lead by example to demonstrate your commitment and inspire your team.By following Skip's example and advice, you can make team building a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

He started framing at 15 and worked the trades while pursuing his Economics degree. After graduation, he worked a couple years for the 4th largest manufactured home company.

When an organisation has lots of moving parts, coordination becomes a competitive advantage. Divisional rivalries, egos, "not invented here," and personal competition can quietly shred performance, while external shocks—regulatory changes, competitor M&A, natural disasters, and market movements—keep landing on your desk. The leader's job is to create solid alignment between what the company needs and what individuals actually do every day.  What is performance alignment and why does it matter in 2025-era organisations? Performance alignment is the tight fit between company direction and individual behaviour so the business operates like one smooth machine. Without alignment, internal friction beats you before the market does—teams compete instead of coordinate, priorities conflict, and effort gets wasted on "busy work" that looks active but doesn't move results. In post-pandemic business (2020–2025), this got harder: hybrid work increased miscommunication, supply chains became less predictable, and regulation shifts plus competitor consolidation raised complexity. In Japan, alignment can be strong once decisions land, but slower if consensus and cross-division coordination drags. In the US, execution can be fast, but priorities can splinter if each function runs its own agenda. In multinationals, the "moving parts" problem is amplified; in SMEs, a single misalignment can derail the whole plan. Do now: Write the one-line "main game" for this quarter and check every team goal against it.  How do vision and mission create alignment across divisions and teams? Vision and mission align performance by clarifying where you're going and what you will (and won't) do to get there. Vision is the window to a brighter future and the goals for where you want to be—and there's usually a macro company vision plus a unit-level vision that translates strategy into local execution. When teams can "juxtapose" their contribution to the enterprise vision, motivation rises because people can see how their work matters. Mission then adds operational clarity by defining purpose and boundaries, preventing scattergun activity. This is where big organisations often win: leaders at firms like Toyota or Unilever typically cascade strategy into unit-level execution targets; startups do it faster, but sometimes leave it implicit, which can cause drift as the company scales. Do now: Rewrite your unit vision in one sentence that shows exactly how it supports the enterprise vision.  How do shared values drive engagement and commitment (especially across cultures)? Shared values align performance because they act as the cultural glue that keeps behaviour consistent under pressure. Values aren't posters—they're the rules of the road for how decisions get made, how conflict gets handled, and what "good" looks like when nobody is watching. The hard truth is the personal value spectrum is extremely varied, so alignment doesn't happen by accident. Leaders have to make values explicit, visible, and reinforced through recognition and consequences. In Japan, values often support harmony and consistency, but can also discourage constructive challenge if not balanced. In the US, values may champion individual initiative, but can turn into silos if each team's "value" becomes their private religion. In both contexts, values determine whether people truly commit or just comply. Do now: Pick 3 values and define the observable behaviours that prove each one in meetings, customer work, and decision-making.  What is a position goal and how does it motivate teams to perform? A position goal aligns performance by giving teams a clear competitive target: where do we want to rank? That could mean market share dominance, profitability leadership, or rapid growth—inside your industry, sector, or even within your own global organisation. This is powerful because many teams feel isolated and assume their work doesn't make much difference. A visible ranking goal (top ten by revenue, number one in customer retention, highest NPS in the region) turns effort into identity and recognition. In large enterprises, position goals can be highly motivating because teams can see how they compare globally. In SMEs, position goals should be chosen carefully—too grand and they feel fake; too small and they don't inspire. Consumer sectors may chase share; B2B may prioritise margin and renewal stability. Do now: Choose one position goal for 2026 and define the single metric that proves it.  How do KRAs, standards, and activities translate strategy into daily execution? KRAs, standards, and activities align performance by turning "strategy" into measurable work that gets done consistently. Key Result Areas (KRAs) identify where results must be achieved and what matters most; constant measurement and broadcasting keeps focus. Performance standards then create objectivity—use frameworks like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-specific) so everyone knows what "good" looks like. Finally, required activities must directly produce the desired outcomes; otherwise, you collect "barnacles" of superfluous tasks that slow the ship. In Japan, standards can be strong and consistent, but activity lists can grow bloated if nobody challenges legacy tasks. In the US, activity can be energetic, but standards can vary if not enforced. Do now: List your top 3 KRAs, define one standard for each, and delete one "busy work" activity that doesn't support them.  How do skills audits and results reviews keep alignment strong over time? Skills and results close the alignment loop by ensuring the team can perform—and learning whether the system worked. A skills audit tells you if the team has the capacity to achieve the goals, what training/coaching is required, and whether you need new talent. The article notes that changing personnel can be difficult and expensive in Japan, which makes skill-building and coaching even more critical. Results then answer the leadership questions: did we achieve what we set out to do, what was the quality, and what did we learn? Even failure can be a learning experience that makes the next cycle stronger. Startups can iterate faster with shorter review loops; multinationals may need quarterly or annual alignment reviews, but should still build in regular check-ins. Do now: Run a quarterly skills audit + results review: capability gaps, coaching plan, and 3 lessons to apply next quarter.  Conclusion Performance alignment is not "soft culture work"—it's a hard business system that prevents friction, wasted effort, and internal competition from destroying results. The eight elements—vision/mission, values, position goal, KRAs, standards, activities, skills, and results—work like a checklist leaders can use to keep the main game in sight, even when emergencies and meltdowns try to hijack attention.  Next steps for leaders and executives Re-state the unit vision and mission in execution language.  Choose one position goal and one proving metric.  Set KRAs + standards, then strip out "barnacle" activities.  Audit skills and lock in coaching or hiring actions.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In post-pandemic business (2020–2025), this got harder: hybrid work increased miscommunication, supply chains became less predictable, and regulation shifts plus competitor consolidation raised complexity. In Japan, alignment can be strong once decisions land, but slower if consensus and cross-division coordination drags. In the US, execution can be fast, but priorities can splinter if each function runs its own agenda. In multinationals, the "moving parts" problem is amplified; in SMEs, a single misalignment can derail the whole plan. Do now: Write the one-line "main game" for this quarter and check every team goal against it.  How do vision and mission create alignment across divisions and teams? Vision and mission align performance by clarifying where you're going and what you will (and won't) do to get there. Vision is the window to a brighter future and the goals for where you want to be—and there's usually a macro company vision plus a unit-level vision that translates strategy into local execution. When teams can "juxtapose" their contribution to the enterprise vision, motivation rises because people can see how their work matters. Mission then adds operational clarity by defining purpose and boundaries, preventing scattergun activity. This is where big organisations often win: leaders at firms like Toyota or Unilever typically cascade strategy into unit-level execution targets; startups do it faster, but sometimes leave it implicit, which can cause drift as the company scales. Do now: Rewrite your unit vision in one sentence that shows exactly how it supports the enterprise vision.  How do shared values drive engagement and commitment (especially across cultures)? Shared values align performance because they act as the cultural glue that keeps behaviour consistent under pressure. Values aren't posters—they're the rules of the road for how decisions get made, how conflict gets handled, and what "good" looks like when nobody is watching. The hard truth is the personal value spectrum is extremely varied, so alignment doesn't happen by accident. Leaders have to make values explicit, visible, and reinforced through recognition and consequences. In Japan, values often support harmony and consistency, but can also discourage constructive challenge if not balanced. In the US, values may champion individual initiative, but can turn into silos if each team's "value" becomes their private religion. In both contexts, values determine whether people truly commit or just comply. Do now: Pick 3 values and define the observable behaviours that prove each one in meetings, customer work, and decision-making.  What is a position goal and how does it motivate teams to perform? A position goal aligns performance by giving teams a clear competitive target: where do we want to rank? That could mean market share dominance, profitability leadership, or rapid growth—inside your industry, sector, or even within your own global organisation. This is powerful because many teams feel isolated and assume their work doesn't make much difference. A visible ranking goal (top ten by revenue, number one in customer retention, highest NPS in the region) turns effort into identity and recognition. In large enterprises, position goals can be highly motivating because teams can see how they compare globally. In SMEs, position goals should be chosen carefully—too grand and they feel fake; too small and they don't inspire. Consumer sectors may chase share; B2B may prioritise margin and renewal stability. Do now: Choose one position goal for 2026 and define the single metric that proves it.  How do KRAs, standards, and activities translate strategy into daily execution? KRAs, standards, and activities align performance by turning "strategy" into measurable work that gets done consistently. Key Result Areas (KRAs) identify where results must be achieved and what matters most; constant measurement and broadcasting keeps focus. Performance standards then create objectivity—use frameworks like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-specific) so everyone knows what "good" looks like. Finally, required activities must directly produce the desired outcomes; otherwise, you collect "barnacles" of superfluous tasks that slow the ship. In Japan, standards can be strong and consistent, but activity lists can grow bloated if nobody challenges legacy tasks. In the US, activity can be energetic, but standards can vary if not enforced. Do now: List your top 3 KRAs, define one standard for each, and delete one "busy work" activity that doesn't support them.  How do skills audits and results reviews keep alignment strong over time? Skills and results close the alignment loop by ensuring the team can perform—and learning whether the system worked. A skills audit tells you if the team has the capacity to achieve the goals, what training/coaching is required, and whether you need new talent. The article notes that changing personnel can be difficult and expensive in Japan, which makes skill-building and coaching even more critical. Results then answer the leadership questions: did we achieve what we set out to do, what was the quality, and what did we learn? Even failure can be a learning experience that makes the next cycle stronger. Startups can iterate faster with shorter review loops; multinationals may need quarterly or annual alignment reviews, but should still build in regular check-ins. Do now: Run a quarterly skills audit + results review: capability gaps, coaching plan, and 3 lessons to apply next quarter.  Conclusion Performance alignment is not "soft culture work"—it's a hard business system that prevents friction, wasted effort, and internal competition from destroying results. The eight elements—vision/mission, values, position goal, KRAs, standards, activities, skills, and results—work like a checklist leaders can use to keep the main game in sight, even when emergencies and meltdowns try to hijack attention.  Next steps for leaders and executives Re-state the unit vision and mission in execution language.  Choose one position goal and one proving metric.  Set KRAs + standards, then strip out "barnacle" activities.  Audit skills and lock in coaching or hiring actions.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In this episode of Daily Influence, Brian Smith picks up where we left off on why goals fail without milestones — and goes deeper into why milestones are what make goals attainable in the first place. Milestones don't make goals smaller or easier. They make them humanly achievable through structure, clarity, and momentum. When goals are unsequenced, they overwhelm. When milestones are SMART, they create psychological safety, reduce anxiety, and replace pressure with confidence. This episode explores how progress fuels motivation, why engagement follows evidence, and how attainability lives at the intersection of clarity, momentum, and trust. If your goals feel distant, this episode will help you turn ambition into a disciplined, achievable path forward.

Jay Knight, managing member of Templar Development and co-founder and chair of the Georgia Residential Land Development Council (GRLDC), joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss Georgia's housing challenges, including affordability, land-use policy and strategies to support first-time homebuyers. Housing Affordability Challenges Knight said, “70% of Georgians who would like to buy a house cannot afford one.” Affordability remains a central concern across Georgia. Rising construction costs, high interest rates and restrictive zoning have constrained the supply of homes for first-time buyers. Knight highlights one municipality where public employees earning an average of $54,000 could afford only a home priced around $206,000. Yet the market offered just 13 homes under $250,000, most of them older modular units. Where are the “missing middle” options? These smaller, attainable homes often bridge the gap between entry-level and higher-end properties but are difficult for homebuyers to find. Zoning restrictions often prevent these homes from being built, delaying household formation and limiting wealth-building opportunities for younger buyers. While demand is strong, builders face restrictions on where they can place this product. The margins may be solid, but accessing the land needed to make these homes profitable often discourages newer builders from pursuing them. “‘Can you just build a smaller house?' That's not always an option,” Knight said. “A neighborhood may have zoning conditions that don't allow smaller homes.” GRLDC and Legislative Advocacy GRLDC was founded to address shared industry challenges and promote access to quality, affordable housing across Georgia. A key initiative is House Bill 812, which aims to streamline permitting processes and reduce unnecessary delays. In many jurisdictions, development approvals can take up to a year, limiting supply and increasing costs. HB 812 calls for shorter review timelines and clearer procedures, which could significantly increase the number of lots available without compromising safety standards. Knight highlights the value of collaboration between private developers and local governments to advance housing affordability concerns. When municipalities actively engage developers in shaping policy, practical and effective solutions often emerge. Renting vs. Buying High rents present a barrier for prospective homeowners. While renting can provide flexibility, it often limits the ability to save toward a down payment. Knight explains that increasing housing supply and allowing more flexibility in lot and home sizes could ease rent pressures and expand homeownership opportunities for working Georgians. “The answer to everything in housing is supply,” Knight said. “If we had enough supply and flexibility in house size, it would create pressure on apartment owners to lower rents and give more Georgians—especially younger ones—the option to buy a home.” Education Through Build Baby Build Knight also hosts the Build Baby Build podcast, an educational platform for the residential development community. Episodes address issues facing today's homebuyers and work to bridge the gap between industry expertise and public perception. The goal is to help listeners better understand the operational and financial factors that shape housing affordability. A recent episode examined the “land-light strategy” used by many builders. Despite national claims that large builders hoard land and worsen the affordability crisis, Knight said the opposite is true. Knight said, “They want to be light on land and on time for the delivery of houses.” Outlook for Georgia Housing Despite ongoing challenges, Knight expressed cautious optimism about Georgia's housing future. Growing attention to affordability issues—among policymakers and community leaders—signals a willingness to address long-standing obstacles. Knight said efforts such as HB 812 could streamline permitting and reduce regulatory delays, potentially doubling the number of lots brought to market in the near term. Tune into the full episode for deeper insights into Georgia's housing affordability challenges and the policy solutions shaping the future of development.

We now have a Middle East peace plan. The problem is, how do you suddenly erase a tenet of Islam that demands the killing of infidels (Christians and Jews)? How do Islamic nations that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth all of a sudden accept Israel as a nation? Is peace with Islam attainable or is there a deception underway that is going into silence for a time only to resurge with a greater fury than ever? Returning to Crosstalk to address this subject was Usama Dakdok. Usama is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, the PLO...the name doesn't matter. According to Usama, they're all on the same team. This is the key point to understand, particularly as it pertains to whether or not Hamas is really ready to recognize Israel's right to exist. This would not seem to be the case as Jim indicated that Qatar and Turkey want to rebuild Hamas, not Gaza. As audio from an Islamic cleric showed, the goal is to make America an Islamic nation. In light of that, what are we to make of the security guarantees made to Qatar and the training of their military pilots on U.S. soil? Is this a "Trojan horse" that President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are somehow not aware of? Jim also reported that Pope Leo is opening a Muslim prayer room at the Vatican. All of this shows how the world appears to be rolling out the "red carpet" for Islam, but will its adherents show thanks in the form of lasting peace? How can it when the term Islam means "submission"? Hear what Usama's experience and research shows.

We now have a Middle East peace plan. The problem is, how do you suddenly erase a tenet of Islam that demands the killing of infidels (Christians and Jews)? How do Islamic nations that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth all of a sudden accept Israel as a nation? Is peace with Islam attainable or is there a deception underway that is going into silence for a time only to resurge with a greater fury than ever? Returning to Crosstalk to address this subject was Usama Dakdok. Usama is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, the PLO...the name doesn't matter. According to Usama, they're all on the same team.

The biggest tin foil hat conspiracy theory we all need to pay attention to is we humans have the ability to think and exist in a bigger way.   From a young age, we're programmed to play smaller.    Why would we do this?     First off, control.    When a colt horse is a colt or a pony, you can tie it to the reigns and to a poll.    Once it realize it can't break free from the pole, it stops fighting.    The reigns are removed and now, they're tame.     The same goes for humans.    If you think you can do something or you can do something, you're right.    How do you do bigger things?    It's simple.    Goaling and regoaling.    If you want to make one million dollars.    Goal number one is $100,000.    Goal number 2 is $250,000.    Goal number 3 is $500,000.    And so on and so forth.    It takes time to hit your goals, but you can't go from 0 to a million.    If you want to make $100,000, you have to make $300 a day.    Set an attainable goal.    Reach the goal.    Reset the goal.    Rinse and repeat.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
