In this episode, Kendra pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes of her business in 2025—a year that included a 20% revenue dip, massive life changes, and a complete recalibration of how she works. She shares why that decline still counts as a long-term win, how becoming a mom fundamentally changed her capacity and scheduling, and why many sales strategies that once worked stopped converting as buyer behavior shifted.Kendra walks through the strategic pivots she made throughout the year, including bringing back one-on-one programs, moving her community from Facebook to Slack, and replacing underperforming evergreen funnels with live webinars that converted cold traffic at impressive rates.

In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Mark Bealin, SEO Expert and founder of SearchLab, to unpack what it really takes for businesses to get found today, across Google, local search, and the rapidly changing world of AI-powered discovery. This is not a surface-level SEO conversation. Our conversation breaks down how search has evolved, why many founders are unknowingly invisible online, and what actually matters now if you want customers to find you instead of your competitors.Mark shares hard-earned lessons from building companies through multiple search eras, from the early days of Google to today's AI-driven answer engines. We also dig into why chasing hacks is a losing game, how customer obsession directly impacts rankings and revenue, and why reputation, trust, and fundamentals matter more than ever in a world of zero-click searches and AI summaries.We also go deep on the practical side. Local search, Google Business Profiles, reviews, content strategy, and how founders should think differently about SEO as a long-term business asset, not a marketing trick. Along the way, Mark connects search strategy to leadership, focus, and building a company that can adapt as technology keeps changing.You'll learn:✅ Why most founders misunderstand how customers actually find businesses today✅ What matters more than rankings in a world of AI answers and zero-click search✅ How reputation and customer obsession directly impact growth and visibility✅ Why chasing SEO “hacks” hurts long-term performance and trust✅ How to future-proof your business as search and AI continue to evolveIf you are a founder or business owner trying to grow demand, win trust, and stay relevant as search shifts under your feet, this conversation will reshape how you think about being discovered.Connect with Mark Bealin Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbealin/Guest Website: https://searchlabdigital.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Vote on the Jeffrey Awards: https://forms.gle/zC29GEAgUJBKNn8T6I brought the cowboy hat out for this one, because Month of Jeff needed full giddy up vibes. Jeff “Bronco Billy” Browning is back, and we go everywhere: Cocodona's weird and wonderful rise into a spectator cult phenomenon, the tiny weather window that makes that race possible, and what it feels like when you are having one of those perfect days in a hundred.Jeff talks about his best races ever (including a scorching San Diego 100 and a 19:33 at Wasatch), and what actually made them click, training blocks, timing, and yes, a little luck. We also get nerdy and practical with an underrated, overrated, properly rated game, covering trail super shoes (carbon on trail, and why the foam matters more), heat training, speedwork for ultra runners (hello zone 3), and why you have to practice race nutrition in training if you want race day to feel automatic.Then we time travel to the early 2000s when ultra gear was basically a fishing vest era, handheld bottles ruled, poles were not a thing, and race nutrition was gels, S-caps, and hope. Jeff shares how mentorship and group long runs shaped the scene back then, and why adventure running and storytelling still matter more than a stat on a results page.We also get into the realities of long efforts and sleep deprivation, including why Jeff would choose self-supported if he goes long again (less complaining, more problem solving). And yes, there are animal stories, including some genuinely terrifying mountain lion encounters, plus the lightning strike moment at Hardrock that led to one of the most ultrarunning reasons ever to change your earrings.To close it out, Jeff breaks down how he made hundreds work while raising a family, with a simple framework: flexible training, non-negotiable family time, and getting creative with when long runs happen. We finish with what is next, some training races, Cocodona, a Western States swing, and the itch to do more adventure style projects.Sponsors: Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS CoffeeChapters00:00 Introduction and Background05:48 Cocodona 250: Growth and Popularity08:38 Memorable Races and Personal Bests11:51 The Mental and Physical Toll of Long Distances14:44 Self-Supported vs. Supported Racing17:48 The Shift in Running Focus: Adventure vs. Competition20:55 The Importance of Storytelling in Running23:51 Training Insights: Speedwork and Nutrition28:29 Preparing for Race Day: The Importance of Training Camps30:00 Evolution of Gear: Trends from the Early 2000s33:09 Nutrition and Hydration: Lessons from the Past35:46 The Social Aspect of Ultra Running: Mentorship and Community39:43 From Hobby to Career: The Journey of an Ultra Runner42:36 Race Directing: The Challenges and Rewards45:42 Wildlife Encounters: Stories from the Trail55:18 Balancing Family Life and Ultra Running56:10 Balancing Work and Family Life59:00 Creating Quality Family Time01:02:58 Navigating Technology and Family Connections01:03:50 The Story Behind the Earrings01:10:13 Future Plans and Upcoming Races01:18:39 Introduction and Community Connection01:22:40 The Importance of Supportive Relationships01:26:49 Fostering a Positive CommunitySubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

How do you balance a high-performance dental career with being an effective parent? What strategies help you stay sane amidst the organized chaos of family life? How can showing up as your best self benefit both your patients and your children? Dr. Shandy Vijayan and Dr. Raabiha Maan join Jaz in this nonclinical episode to share their experiences of parenthood in dentistry. From the unique perspectives of two dentist-moms and the dad viewpoint, they discuss the real-life challenges of raising children while maintaining personal well-being. They also share practical tips, book recommendations, and actionable strategies for self-care and emotional regulation—helping you create a balanced family life while thriving in your career. During the episode, Jaz also mentions KARRI — a fun, screen-free voice messenger that helps kids stay safely connected with parents and friends, without social media or internet access. Loved by kids. Trusted by parents. Get 50% off via: www.protrusive.co.uk/karri https://youtu.be/F-Tp83_tuco Watch IC065 on Youtube Key Takeaways Life comes in “seasons”; early parenting (~0–8 yrs) is intense but temporary. Reduce clinical load early to focus on children; career focus increases after ~12 yrs. Prioritize time with kids over tasks; coordinated parenting schedules help. House help significantly reduces stress, frees energy for quality interactions. Support networks (family, in-laws, professional communities) are essential. Grandparents: allow flexibility; avoid micromanaging childcare. Returning to work: stress, costs (GDC, indemnity, childcare), skill gaps, guilt. Dentistry = high-performance + emotional labor; manage energy carefully. Quick mental reset between work/home recommended; part-time can boost longevity. Parent happiness + strong parental relationship = major factor in kids' emotional regulation. Run family like a small business: systems, schedules, clear roles. Self-regulation, EQ, and self-care benefit family, patients, and professional life.

Most founders don't realize how much their work is reshaping who they are. Until it's too late.In this episode of Founder Talk, Nick Greco, mental health expert, crisis intervention instructor, and founder of C3 Education & Research, breaks down what chronic stress really does to people who live in it day after day. Nick has trained thousands of officers across the U.S., taught suicide prevention globally, and even worked with other national police forces in different countries. Few people understand high-pressure psychology like he does and the crossover to entrepreneurship is undeniable. Nick explains why people in these high-stakes, high-pressure positions lose their identity, shut down emotionally, and drift from the people they care about. He shares why communication at home often collapses, why “I'm fine” usually isn't true, and how simple habits like taking 20–30 minutes to decompress can save marriages and families. We also dive into why men struggle to ask for help, why emotional isolation is so dangerous, and how founders can actually retain people instead of losing them to fatigue, resentment, or culture issues. Nick also unpacks the psychology behind overworking, financial stress, identity fusion (“I am my job”), and why so many founders unknowingly mirror the same patterns he sees in first responders.What You'll Learn✅ Why chronic stress leads to burnout, isolation, and identity loss✅ How emotional shutdown damages relationships and how to reverse it✅ Why “burnout” is usually a system problem, not a personal weakness✅ How to decompress and reset after high-pressure days✅ Why founders and first responders fall into the same psychological trapsIf you're a founder navigating nonstop pressure, this episode gives you the clarity, tools, and mindset to stay grounded, connected, and healthy without losing yourself to the work.Connect with Nicholas GrecoGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-greco-iv-m-s-bcets-catsm-faaets-ba78168/Guest Website: https://www.c3educationandresearch.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!
