Send us a textIn this special 100th episode of Take It To The Board, we're excited to welcome back our very first guest, James Donnelly. When host Donna DiMaggio Berger first sat down with James in 2021, he was leading Castle Group, one of Florida's largest community association management firms. Now, they reunite to reflect on the extraordinary journey James has taken since selling the company. Together, they explore the motivations behind his decision, the carefully crafted four-year succession plan that ensured Castle's continued success, and the passion projects that are now shaping his next chapter.Throughout the episode, James and Donna dive deep into the realities of the acquisition process, offering insights that business owners and industry leaders alike will find invaluable. They discuss the advantages of planning a sale from a position of strength and the importance of developing a leadership team that can thrive independently. Their conversation also examines how the association management industry has evolved—especially in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the Surfside tragedy.Despite growing consolidation in the industry, James and Donna share an optimistic outlook on opportunities for entrepreneurs. They note that no single company has captured more than a small share of the market, leaving ample room for innovation and growth. They also discuss James's investment in the future of the field through the James Donnelly Property Management program at Nova Southeastern University, a “farm system” designed to cultivate new talent.The episode concludes with a meaningful discussion about the personal values that guide James's life—stretch, smile, live, and give—a daily mantra that he uses to balance his ongoing industry involvement, philanthropy, and upcoming book on life principles. With warmth, insight, and mutual admiration, James and Donna deliver a compelling conversation that celebrates past accomplishments while looking forward to the future, making this milestone episode both thought-provoking and deeply inspiring.Conversation Highlights:The increasing complexity of the community association industry in the wake of COVID-19, the Surfside tragedy, and new legislationKey challenges and growth opportunities facing the industry todayThe most unexpected part of Castle Group's sale processJames's practical advice for business owners thinking about sellingInsights for leaders weighing whether to remain active or begin stepping backThe passion projects and new ventures James is currently pursuing Related Links:Podcast: Royal Service with James Donnelly, Founder & CEO, Castle Group

Send us a textIn this episode of the FuturePrint Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Wetterston, head of labels and packaging at Keypoint Intelligence, to explore why digital printing has yet to gain a strong foothold in the packaging industry. Despite its undeniable advantages—faster turnaround, reduced waste, and increased flexibility—digital print still accounts for just 1% of total packaging output. So, what's holding it back, and what will drive its growth?Jeff shares insights into the industry's reluctance, the myth of cost crossover points, and how early adopters are using digital to enhance productivity rather than just cut costs. We discuss real-world case studies, the impact of industry consolidation, and why AI-driven consumer insights are making digital an essential tool for brands.Could digital print finally be approaching a tipping point? Tune in to find out how converters and brands can harness its full potential to move from 1% adoption to 20% and beyond.Key Topics:Why digital printing adoption in packaging remains lowHow cost misconceptions hold the industry backThe role of AI, sustainability, and industry consolidationReal-world success stories of digital print transformationListen on:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastSpotifyWhat is FuturePrint?

In this episode, I take you along on my sourdough bread baking journey and reveal the surprising style lessons I discovered along the way. What began as a TikTok-influenced adventure quickly turned into a personal exploration of perfectionism, fear of failure, and finding my own path. I walk you through my complete bread-making journey, from the overwhelm of too much information to the joy of finding my own approach.Through my story of exploding dough and burnt bottoms, I extract five powerful lessons that can apply perfectly to your style journey.Here's some of what you'll learn from this episode:Why fear of failure keeps us stuck in our comfort zones - with both bread and fashion - and how to recognize when your inner critic is holding you backThe crucial difference between collecting knowledge and actually practicing - and why watching all the YouTube videos in the world can't replace hands-on experienceThe turning point that came when I invested in proper education instead of drowning in conflicting internet adviceWhy finding a style approach that matches your personality matters more than trying to follow everyone else's rigid rulesMy expensive mistake in thinking success starts with shopping - and why using what you have first always leads to better resultsI hope this episode helps you recognize that mastering your personal style, like baking good bread, isn't about perfection or following every rule to the letter. It's about having the courage to start somewhere, learning the basics, and then experimenting to find what works for you. Remember that confidence comes from mastery, mastery comes from practice, and practice starts with courage. Some people think what you wear doesn't matter, and that it's frivolous to care about style. And for them, that's fine. But if it matters to you, it matters. Your everyday deserves to be dressed for, no matter what anyone else thinks.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/lessons-from-sourdough

Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but still not seeing the progress you want? You've got the goals, the motivation, the drive—but something just isn't clicking. Here's the truth most people overlook: it's your environment. The people you spend time with and the spaces you occupy either push you toward your goals or hold you back.In this episode of The Visionary Voice Podcast, we're diving deep into Key Principle #4: Environment—Who Helps You. Your environment shapes your behavior, mindset, and success more than you realize, and if you want to thrive, you need to surround yourself with the right people and places.✨ Here's what you'll learn:Why the people around you are key to your growth (and how to choose wisely)How to immerse yourself in environments that push you forward
In this episode of Cowgirls Over Coffee, we're having an honest conversation about a topic every high-achieving woman needs to tackle: discipline. We all know that feeling of knowing exactly what you need to do but struggling to get it done or being so disciplined that it's actually working against you. Today, we're stripping back the layers and getting curious about what discipline truly means, why it's not about being perfect, and how you can build it as a skill rather than treating it like a fixed part of your identity.Together with Meg Scales, we break down the myths around discipline, willpower, and focus. We explore why hyper-discipline can be just as damaging as lacking discipline altogether and why curiosity is your secret weapon in developing the self-awareness necessary to make meaningful progress. If you've ever found yourself feeling burnt out, stuck in a cycle of inconsistency, or struggling to figure out why you're not reaching your goals, this conversation is exactly what you need.Key Takeaways:The reality of discipline: It's a skill you can build, not something you're either born with or withoutWhy being “overly disciplined” can sabotage your success and how to strike a healthy balanceHow to identify and plug the energy leaks in your life that are holding you backThe role of curiosity and self-compassion in creating discipline that supports your goalsPractical strategies to develop adaptable discipline so you can finally move forward with intention and clarityWhether you're someone who prides yourself on being disciplined or you're struggling to find any consistency at all, this conversation is packed with actionable insights, practical strategies, and raw reflections that will help you take charge of your next steps. It's time to stop letting discipline be a barrier (or an excuse!) and start using it as a tool to create the life you want.If this episode resonates with you, make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review.
