What if you could transform every meeting into your best meeting ever? This week's episode of Do Good to Lead Well features Rebecca Hinds, the acclaimed bestselling author of "Your Best Meeting Ever." Our conversation dives into the hidden dynamics behind every team gathering, from subtle power plays to the creeping status bias of overloaded calendars.Our discussion moves beyond complaints about “death by meeting” to practical, research-backed solutions. Rebecca introduces concepts like meeting debt and the "4D CEO test," arming listeners with frameworks to diagnose, declutter, and redesign meeting culture for maximum impact. Highlights include the transformative idea of “meeting doomsday”—a bold approach to calendar cleansing that opens the door for more meaningful collaboration.We also tackle perennial challenges such as how to handle meeting FOMO, design for inclusion, and encourage respectful pushback in hierarchical settings. We also explore how to use AI as an ally rather than a crutch to maximize engagement and effectiveness.For leaders invested in building stronger teams and organizations, this episode delivers a timely, practical roadmap for doing meetings differently. With actionable insights and research-driven frameworks, the discussion promises not just fewer meetings, but meetings that truly move work forward.What You'll Learn- Meetings as a Form of Invisible Sabotage.- Meetings = Status Symbols?- How to Avoid Productivity Theatre in Meetings.- Do You Need That Meeting?

Unconventional family plans, explosive celebrity allegations, and a controversial parole decision fuel a headline-packed episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. The crew debates Insecure actor Kendrick Sampson’s “wide love” philosophy after he said he would rather raise children with a trusted female friend than a romantic partner, believing a friendship-first arrangement could keep the child’s well-being from being disrupted by relationship drama. Gary With the Tea then unpacks the custody battle between Halle Berry and ex-husband Olivier Martinez after a judge granted Martinez a temporary restraining order covering him and their 12-year-old son, limited Berry’s visitation pending a later hearing, and declined to order sobriety monitoring for lack of information; Berry’s attorney called the allegations meritless and deliberately misleading. The legal headlines continue with Rick Ross, who voluntarily surrendered in Miami Beach and was released on bond after being charged with felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery in connection with an alleged domestic-violence incident; he pleaded not guilty, publicly denied the accusations, and was ordered to stay away from the alleged victim while the case proceeds. The show also reacts to former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger being granted parole after serving seven years of a 10-year murder sentence for killing Botham Jean inside his own apartment—a decision Jean’s family and attorney strongly opposed, with no official release date announced at the time. Dr. Ian Smith adds practical wellness advice with The New Menopause Kitchen, explaining how protein, nutrient-dense foods, strength-building movement, and more than 50 recipes from Rachael Ray can help women manage midlife symptoms, protect muscle and bone health, and challenge viral diet myths.

You do not need a periodized plan to build high-level performance. Guillermo Blanco started lifting in eighth grade before moving through Division I football programs, collegiate strength coaching, multi-ply powerlifting, and training military populations in the Army's H2F program. Facing unpredictable deployment schedules, minimal equipment, and low training ages, he abandoned rigid percentage-based periodization in favor of adaptable general physical preparedness that keeps lifters performing when life destroys the plan. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Posterior Chain Deficit: Why high school, collegiate, and military athletes all lack back strength. Gym in a Box Constraints: Programming for 100+ soldiers with minimal equipment and unpredictable schedules. Periodization Fallacy: Why strict yearly plans fail tactical populations and how to train for adaptability. The 1x20 Protocol: Using simple high-rep total-body circuits to build rapid work capacity in athletes. Raw to Multi-Ply Evolution: How lifting in gear built long-term raw strength and joint resilience. Minimal Effective Strain: Finding the exact training dose needed to make continuous strength gains. MEET THE GUEST Guillermo Blanco is a tactical strength and conditioning coach with 15 years of experience across military performance, collegiate athletics, private sports performance, and competitive powerlifting. He holds a master's degree in exercise physiology from the University of Louisville, a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and has been an NSCA CSCS since 2013. Guillermo previously served as head powerlifting coach, assistant athletic performance coach, and adjunct instructor at McKendree University, alongside experience with Aurora University and University of Illinois football. Across raw, classic raw, and multi-ply powerlifting, he translates real-world barbell mastery into practical training principles for high-demand populations.

“Gradually, then suddenly, America reached the precipice of authoritarianism.”That's how author Richard North Patterson begins his exploration into key turning points in the last quarter century that have altered the course of American history. He breaks it down in his new book, “Tripwires: 15 Twenty-First-Century Events That Undermined American Democracy — and How to Reclaim It.”“The fire hose of stuff around Trump has been so great that we can't keep track of it,” Patterson told me. “If we don't understand how we got here, then we can't figure out how to get out of this place and restore and reinvigorate our democracy.”Starting with the Supreme Court decision Bush v. Gore that awarded George W. Bush the 2000 presidential election, Patterson itemizes the fateful turns. There was the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008; the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court in 2010 that unleashed unlimited campaign cash; future President Donald Trump's demand for then-President Barack Obama's birth certificate in 2011; and Sen. Mitch McConnell's refusal to convict Trump for the Jan. 6 attempted coup by supporters in 2021.The culmination of the events that undermined democracy was Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court ruling in 2024 that the American president had immunity for his actions, thus creating an unbounded presidency.Patterson is internationally renowned as the author of 23 novels, 16 of which have been New York Times bestsellers, including “Protect and Defend” and “Degree of Guilt.” Patterson is a former trial attorney whose articles have been published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, London Times and elsewhere.For the last decade, Patterson has devoted his energies to political commentary because, as he wrote in The Atlantic, “Trump rendered fiction redundant.”As a fiction writer, Patterson recognized Trump's gift for crafting a compelling story. “Trump creates a fantasy world in which we are beset by numerous forces, some real in themselves, some not real at all, like the great attack of communism and socialism he claims that we are suffering from,” he told me. “And then he creates the heroic narrative where Trump and Trump alone can save us from all of this.”Patterson understands the allure of the story and its inherent danger.“You had a meeting of the man and his megalomaniacal fantasies in a moment of extreme unease in the American polity, where people were willing to turn to someone who promised to be the all-purpose solution to their unease.”“He claimed to make America great again. I would argue he made America hate again,” Patterson continued. “If you look at authoritarians throughout time, they've always found an enemy. And for Trump, they were racial minorities.”Patterson predicted that “2026 and 2028 are really democracy's last good shot at getting itself turned around.”“If we have a JD Vance or somebody else who's going to pick up on Trump's proto fascism, then we are farther down the road to going from democracy to the authoritarianism in Hungary under (Viktor) Orban and beyond, where we simply can't retrieve what we — what we once believed was secure.”

His books, including The Miracle Morning and The Miracle Equation, have sold millions of copies and been translated into dozens of languages.

At age 20, he survived a devastating car accident in which his heart stopped for six minutes and doctors initially said he might never walk again. Years later, financial hardship inspired him to develop the morning routine that became The Miracle Morning. At 37, he faced another major challenge when he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. Today, Hal uses these experiences to teach resilience, gratitude, personal growth, and purposeful action while pursuing his mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one person and one morning at a time.

Most strength coaches build athletes by the book, but the ones who actually build champions learn that true physical development begins long before anyone ever touches a barbell. Before guiding Toledo Football through brutal Division I seasons or developing NFL champions, Evan Barr was a farm kid in Tennessee throwing hay, walking onto Phillip Fulmer's squad, and building a collegiate strength program completely from scratch with just two racks and a set of dumbbells. After nearly two decades of dodging back surgery, building four straight top-25 teams, and coaching over a hundred all-conference athletes, he breaks his silence to reveal the exact developmental frameworks, culture-building secrets, and gritty training truths that standard exercise science textbooks completely miss. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Early Movement Literacy: Why real athletic development starts at age eight with basic bodyweight control rather than heavy loading. The Olympic Lifting Debate: How peer-driven teaching and simple catch mechanics accelerate force absorption for football. The Deload Illusion: Why completely backing off intensity destroys athlete momentum and how to properly wave training volume. Building Culture in Chaos: How to flip a losing locker room by engineering daily micro-competitions instead of forcing raw conditioning. The Deliberate Overload Trap: Why taking on every organizational responsibility hurts your staff and limits program scaling. MEET THE GUEST Evan Barr is the Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Performance and Director of Football Strength & Conditioning at the University of Toledo. A CSCCa Master Strength & Conditioning Coach with over seventeen years in the weight room, Barr built Reinhardt's inaugural program with two racks, turned Western Carolina into a Southern Conference powerhouse, and led Mercer through the most successful four-year stretch in school history. Across his career, he has developed 101 all-conference selections, 21 All-Americans, an NFL draft pick, and a Super Bowl LIII champion—proving his outcome-based methods build unstoppable athletes.

When Michelle was in the hospital with her newborn in the NICU, she focused on the next meaningful, constructive action she could take. Optimism is connected to countless positive outcomes, when our optimism leads us to take action. It's not just wishful thinking. Our behaviors matter.

In this week's Review Show, our guest critics Hannah McGill and Fergus Morgan join Kirsty Wark to discuss three dystopian thrillers: Bestselling novelist Emily St John Mandel's latest work of speculative fiction, Exit Party, chronicles how a range of characters respond to a complete collapse in society - in America, where Texas and California are now republics, and militia roam the streets, and in Paris, where a giant dome has been constructed to protect elites. An alien invasion in the heart stopping South Korean sci-fi action thriller Hope, by writer, director and producer Na Hong-jin, which received an enthusiastic ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to become a smash box office hit. And a new adaptation of George Orwell's seminal 1984, in which a couple's love affair is an act of rebellion against a totalitarian regime, which is touring Scottish theatres between now and November.

What if one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world has been hiding in plain sight—in the hills of Bosnia? Bestselling author, publisher and world explorer Brad Olsen returns to Unleashing Intuition Secrets with Michael Jaco to share his extraordinary firsthand experience at the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, a site that researchers and visitors continue to debate. Brad takes Michael inside his visit to the massive pyramid-shaped formation near Visoko, Bosnia, where he explored excavated sections, underground tunnels and the surrounding archaeological sites. He shares what he witnessed, what researchers at the site believe they have uncovered and why the experience left him with even more questions about humanity's ancient past. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Brad discusses preliminary underground scans, possible hidden chambers, unusual energy readings and reports of elevated negative-ion levels inside the tunnels. He also describes visitors gathering for meditation and healing practices, and explores the theory that ancient pyramids may have served purposes far beyond burial or ceremony. Michael and Brad examine the possibility of ancient engineering, the movement of water through pyramid structures and the remarkable stone formations found throughout Bosnia. Their discussion expands to other ancient sites around the world, raising questions about lost civilizations, forgotten construction methods and how much of human history remains undiscovered. Who built the Bosnian pyramids? What lies beneath them? And could their original purpose have been far more sophisticated than we imagine? Join Michael Jaco and Brad Olsen for a journey through the tunnels, landscapes and mysteries of Bosnia—guided by Brad's firsthand exploration and his continuing research into the ancient world.

Stop turning your lifters into data-obsessed overthinkers who melt down the second a $10 velocity app tells them the bar moved 0.02 meters per second too slow. Most modern powerlifting coaches aren't actually building athletes; they are running a digital marketing business wearing a singlet, chasing short-form algorithm clout while hiding behind RPE charts and endless combo rack squatting. World-champion coach Steve DeNovi spent fifteen years getting hurt, building an elite roster, and learning why the current online coaching ecosystem is quietly killing real strength progress. The fix for a collapsing squat or a plateaued bench isn't another high-tech fatigue metric or a louder verbal cue—it's stripping away the digital noise, fixing the physical center of mass, and returning to the hard-earned principles that actually keep lifters on the platform. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Velocity Apps vs. Real Intent: Why objective data-tracking devices make most athletes overthink, sandbag their sets, and trade actual training intensity for a screen. The Online Coaching Delusion: How isolating lifters into individual combo racks and virtual spaces created a fragile, hyper-neurotic community that lacks real gym culture. Center of Mass Mechanics: The simple physics framework Steve uses to evaluate raw technique, identify force leakage, and fix bad movement patterns without destroying a lifter's confidence. The Tested Sport Turnover: Why most modern lifters drop out after three to five years, and how coaches must shift their soft skills to build long-term platform survival. The Business of Powerlifting: The brutal marketing truth about client retention, why short-form content breeds zero loyalty, and how Steve built a sustainable coaching brand without selling out. MEET THE GUEST Steve DeNovi is a powerlifting coach, owner of Progressive Resistance Systems, and co-founder of the Powerlifting Now education platform. After early career-ending injuries forced him to master the mechanics of getting beat-up lifters back onto the platform, he built a fifteen-year coaching track record that includes four IPF World Titles, an IPF World Champion of Champions title, twelve national championships, and coaching the top drug-tested female powerlifter in the world. Holding an MBA in marketing, Steve combines hard-nosed platform experience with high-level business strategy to educate the next generation of strength coaches.

What if that idea that keeps coming back to you is trying to gain your attention? Maybe it is a book you cannot stop thinking about, a program you feel called to create, or a bigger idea that seems almost too far beyond your current capacity. The challenge is not always coming up with ideas. Sometimes the real challenge is knowing which ones are worth pursuing and how to recognize the difference between a passing thought and something with deeper potential. I have found that some of my most meaningful ideas do not arrive through force or effort. They keep returning until I finally make space for them. In episode 509 of Amplify Your Success, Sara Connell, author of The Download, and I look at what happens when science, creativity, intuition, and body awareness come together to help us recognize those ideas and bring them into the world. Sara brings a fascinating perspective to the creative process, including the brain states that support innovative thinking, the role of walking and white space, and the somatic signals that can help us discern whether an idea is worth exploring. We also talk about how practical feedback, trusted relationships, and market research can help us test an idea without giving away our own authority. And because so many creators are navigating the role of AI, we have an honest conversation about using it as a productivity tool and creative partner without allowing it to replace the original thinking, voice, and heartbeat that make our work meaningful. If you have an idea that keeps resurfacing, this conversation may help you listen to it differently, create the space to understand it, and find the courage to take the next step.   Key Takeaways: [00:02:36] Being in the right room and saying yes to meaningful connections can help move an idea from possibility into reality. [00:03:22] Not every thought deserves to become a book, program, business, or movement, so discernment matters just as much as creativity. [00:04:28] There is a difference between rational brainstorming and the singular creative ideas that seem to arrive as a deeper "download." [00:05:19] An idea's persistence, emotional resonance, and ability to keep returning may offer clues that it deserves your attention. [00:07:31] Intuition and practical validation can work together through body awareness, feedback, focus groups, and market research. [00:09:26] Understanding brain states such as alpha, theta, beta, and gamma can help explain why certain conditions are more supportive of creative thinking. [00:12:44] Walking, movement, and moments of soft fascination can create space for better ideas, especially when we temporarily step away from outside input. [00:15:19] Paying attention to sensations below the neck can help you notice whether an idea creates a deeper sense of resonance or simply keeps you caught in mental loops. [00:22:09] AI can help organize, transcribe, and develop ideas, but overreliance on it can flatten the originality and emotional heartbeat of your work. [00:44:38] A five-minute download walk can help you clarify what you really want, identify the next step, and create enough white space to notice what emerges.   About The Guest:  Sara Connell is a 5x Bestselling author and the founder of Thought Leader Media where she helps coaches, experts and entrepreneurs scale impact + create 6-7 figures by becoming bestselling authors and in demand/TEDx speakers.

In this episode of Service Drive Revolution, Chris "Bulldog" Collins, Hogi and Adam explain why training advisors before fixing the operating system can make a service drive worse. If advisors sell more work but the shop cannot complete it, repair orders stall, promise times slip, customers become frustrated and advisors quickly stop presenting additional work. Why won't service advisor training fix an underperforming dealership service department? Because weak sales, poor communication, low CSI and declining profitability are often symptoms of broken processes, insufficient shop capacity and inconsistent workflow—not a lack of sales technique. The team breaks down what dealership owners, general managers, fixed operations directors and service managers should examine first: appointment spacing, advisor-to-technician ratios, shop loading, declined work, customer communication, technician efficiency, compensation, financial visibility and one standardized process from appointment through vehicle delivery.

What if some of the children struggling to fit into today's world aren't meant to fit into the old system at all? Bestselling author and Aramis Creative Learning Center founder Sherri Divband returns to Michael Jaco with one of her most fascinating conversations yet—exploring what she calls “Pod Children,” starseeds, ET connections, advanced souls and a new generation of highly sensitive children she believes are arriving with an extraordinary purpose. Sherri describes “Pod Children” as something different from traditional incarnation. In her spiritual framework, she believes some beings remain elsewhere while connecting their consciousness remotely to a human body on Earth—almost like operating an avatar. And Sherri says she's encountering more of these children than ever before. She shares why she believes some can appear disconnected or struggle with communication and ordinary routines while simultaneously possessing remarkable intelligence and abilities—and why she sees them eventually becoming innovators and “architects of the new world.” Michael and Sherri take the conversation even further into ET civilizations, consciousness, alternate dimensions, timelines, starseeds, energetic interference and humanity's transition into a new era. But Sherri isn't only talking about a different future for children. She's building one. After six years of work, Sherri announces that the first prototype Aramis Creative Learning Center is preparing to open in Palm Beach County—an alternative educational environment created to give children room to learn, create, develop their passions and thrive without being forced into a one-size-fits-all model. Sherri's vision is ultimately to establish centers across the country and eventually internationally. Whether you've followed the conversation around starseed children and consciousness, you're a parent searching for a different approach to education, or you've never heard the term “Pod Children” before, this is a conversation that will challenge you to look at the next generation from an entirely different perspective.

Most personal trainers fail because they master the mechanics of exercise but completely ignore the high-stakes psychology of holding a client's trust. Personal training veteran Charles Gardner spent over two decades in the trenches discovering that keeping a client on your roster for years has almost nothing to do with optimal set-and-rep schemes. From surviving early career failure in California to managing high-profile clients in a military town, Gardner reveals the unspoken rules of client retention, navigating the fragile egos of Type A personalities, and building a sustainable business that survives any economic downturn. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The "Thumb" Leadership Rule: How an unconventional piece of childhood advice built the foundation for a 25-year career in the trenches. Surviving the Failure Reset: The brutal reality of moving to California, getting chewed up, and rebuilding a coaching business from nothing. The Life PR Framework: Why chasing traditional barbell maxes with executive and older clients guarantees injury, and how shifting to health-marker PRs builds lifelong compliance. Type A Traps: How to aggressively manage hyper-compliant clients before they overtrain themselves into catastrophic tissue injuries. The Grace Capital System: The exact boundary-setting strategy that prevents burnout while earning bulletproof client loyalty when life emergencies hit. Building Real-World Equity: Why relying on social media lead generation leaves coaches broke, and how in-person observation in the weight room quietly secures high-value referrals. MEET THE GUEST Charles Gardner is the founder and head coach of Synergy Strength Systems in Huntsville, Alabama. Backed by a degree in industrial and organizational psychology and 25 years of hands-on experience, Gardner has coached everyone from competitive athletes and high-ranking city officials to 70-year-olds reclaiming their health. His career stands as proof that lasting authority in the fitness industry isn't given through online algorithms—it is earned through deep communication, relentless observation, and decades of real-world results.

Together, we explore why managing up isn't “boss-pleasing,” but rather empowering yourself to build conditions for true success.Our discussion also dives deep into the psychology and realities of work and why “letting your work speak for itself” is no longer enough.

Most recovery protocols are actively killing your strength gains because you haven't trained hard enough to earn them. Dr. Mike T. Nelson's path to elite performance didn't start in a weight room—it began in mechanical engineering laboratories, where he learned to view human physiology through stress mechanics rather than quick-fix soothing trends. Today, he translates twenty-five years of research into a battle-tested blueprint that proves real recovery isn't about recovering faster, but building a system so resilient that heavy load fails to disrupt your baseline. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Cold Water Immersion: Why ice baths and Wim Hof breathing act as massive sympathetic stressors that crash your HRV. The Parasympathetic Trap: How chasing high recovery scores can secretly mask severe parasympathetic overreaching and tank your lifts. Engineered Squats: What a dual background in biomechanics and physiology reveals about joint load that traditional strength coaches miss. The 2-Pop-Tart Test: An instant, low-tech diagnostic to determine if your body is actually metabolically flexible. CO2 Flushing: How manipulating respiratory rate shifts tissue oxygenation via the Bohr effect to expand work capacity. MEET THE GUEST Dr. Mike T. Nelson spent over two decades earning a PhD in Exercise Physiology and a Master's in Mechanical Engineering—a dual background that transforms complex human movement into precise, measurable science. As an Associate Professor at the Carrick Institute and creator of the Flex Diet Certification, his methods on metabolic flexibility and homeostatic stress regulation are trusted by elite military units, strength athletes, and organizations across the NFL, NHL, and NBA.
