Most productivity advice for ADHD is written for people who just need a nudge.

He co-chairs the largest ADHD conference in the US and has been quoted in the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post.In this conversation, Ari breaks down what productivity actually means for ADHD brains, why "don't get in trouble" is not a good enough goal, and how business owners can use external structure and the right people to focus on where they add the most value.Connect With Ari Tuckman:  www.DrAriTuckman.com.What We CoverWhy simplistic productivity advice fails ADHD adults and what to look for insteadThe difference between managing ADHD to survive versus building a life worth havingHow to hire an assistant who will act as external executive function, not just a schedulerThe role of reputation-building when ADHD makes consistency hardAri's "things lead to things" principle and how it applies to business growth P.S.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor & Adam Harris explore why Visionaries can become bottlenecks, and what leaders can do to break free from the behaviours that hold their businesses back. Drawing on their experience as EOS® Implementers, Debra & Adam unpack the powerful relationship between Visionary & Integrator leadership styles, including why clarity, trust, self-awareness & healthy conflict are essential for long-term business growth. They discuss one of the most common challenges entrepreneurs face: letting go. Many Visionaries know they need to step back from day-to-day operations, but fear, control, past experiences or a love of chaos can keep them involved in areas where they no longer add the most value. The conversation explores why Visionaries need a strong sounding board, how the “golden penny” problem pulls leaders away from priorities, and why a clear vision is very different from simply having lots of ideas. Listeners will also gain practical insights into strengthening Visionary & Integrator partnerships, improving leadership alignment, and creating a business that can grow without being dependent on one person.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor explores how EOS and AI can give your team 10 hours back every week with AI strategist, author, and CEO of Bizukka, John Munsell.As AI continues to reshape the way organisations operate, many businesses are rushing to implement new tools without the governance, training, or strategy needed to use them effectively. John explains why this approach creates significant risks and often prevents companies from achieving the productivity gains they expect.Drawing on his experience as CEO of Bizukka and creator of the AI Strategy Canvas, John introduces the concept of the 10 Levels of AI Mastery, a framework designed to help organisations build AI capability in a structured and responsible way. Rather than jumping straight into advanced automation, he argues that businesses must first develop collective expertise, clear processes, and strong AI governance.Throughout the conversation, John shares practical examples of how AI can dramatically improve efficiency when implemented correctly. One standout case study reveals how a CEO used AI to streamline complex RFP responses, reducing a three-week process to just three days and saving more than $70,000 in the process.Debra and John also discuss the growing security concerns surrounding AI, including phishing attacks, autonomous agents, and the risks of employees using AI tools without proper oversight. John warns that poor AI adoption is not simply a technology problem. It is a leadership problem that requires education, accountability, and clear policies across the organisation.The discussion covers how businesses can integrate AI into every department, the importance of upskilling employees, and why organisations that invest in training can unlock 10 to 12 hours of productive time per employee every week.John also shares insights into advanced AI tools, practical implementation strategies, and the importance of balancing innovation with governance. He introduces his AI Impact Analysis tool and explains how businesses can assess their readiness for AI before making significant investments.This episode is essential listening for business owners and leadership teams who want to harness the power of AI while avoiding the costly consequences of poor AI adoption, ensuring technology becomes a competitive advantage rather than a business risk.CONNECT WITH DEBRA:   ___________________________________________        ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/___________________________________________      GUEST'S DETAILS: ► John Munsell – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jwmunsell/► Website: Bizzuka: www.bizzuka.comEpisode 275 Chapters:  00:00 – Introduction00:40 – Impact of AI on Businesses04:23 – Levels of AI Mastery12:54 – AI in Business Operations17:50 – Common Mistakes in AI Implementation26:11 – AI Governance and Security34:41 – Tools and Resources for AI Implementation35:00 – Practical Tips for AI Adoption35:16 – Community and Support for AI Implementation37:17 – Final Thoughts and Next Steps

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Ray Solano, pharmacist and founder of PD Labs, to expose the massive barrier to entry in the traditional pharmaceutical industry and explore why highly effective treatments often get buried by "Big Pharma." If a medication can't guarantee a billion-dollar market, major pharmaceutical companies won't touch it—even if it could save or drastically improve lives. Dr. Pinkston and Ray break down how the current clinical trial system is flawed, the massive price discrepancies between commercial biologics and tailored solutions, and why looking at global case studies and cellular science is more reliable than the corporate "show me the science" narrative. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The Billion-Dollar Drug Hurdle: Why life-changing formulas for conditions like Peyronie’s disease and localized inflammation are ignored by major drug companies. The $22,000 Contrast: Dr. Pinkston shares a shocking look at the monthly cost of commercial autoimmune biologics versus affordable, root-cause healing. The Power of Transdermal Peptides: How PD Labs successfully formulated BPC-157 as a topical application to provide instant relief for tendonitis and muscle inflammation. Demystifying Generics & Compounding: The hidden truth about bioequivalence versus therapeutic equivalence in generic medications. Alternative Therapies That Work: Insights into the neurological benefits of Leucovorin, using Ivermectin in combination oncology therapies, and the anti-aging benefits of topical Glutathione and GHK Copper for summer skincare. The Telemedicine Trend: A warning on the safety risks of modern online prescription platforms that over-medicate without standard clinical overviews.

People love to talk about dopamine like it's the enemy.   Dopamine addiction. Dopamine detox. Cheap dopamine. Instant gratification. Chasing the high.   And while there is truth to all of that, I think we sometimes miss the bigger picture.   Dopamine is not automatically bad. It is your body's natural reward system. The real issue is not that we like feeling good — it's what behaviours we are rewarding.   In this episode, I talk about a realization I had while running in the sun with my dad's dog, listening to music, and feeling completely stoked on life. That was a dopamine rush too — but it was attached to something good.   This episode is about learning how to stop demonizing dopamine and start using it to build better habits, stronger discipline, better mental health, and a life you actually want to keep moving toward.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify!

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with Rajesh Nagjee to explore the connection between the business you build and the life you ultimately create. Rajesh, founder of the CEO Business Growth Programme and creator of the CEO Freedom Operating System, shares his remarkable journey from working in his family business to building a 450-bed trauma care hospital that transformed healthcare outcomes in his region. Along the way, he discovered that business success is not simply about strategy, systems, or execution. It is about aligning the inner game and outer game of leadership. Throughout the conversation, Rajesh explains that while frameworks such as EOS and Rockefeller Habits can produce exceptional business results, sustainable success requires leaders to develop the mindset, self-awareness, and emotional resilience needed to drive those systems effectively. Without this inner work, many founders achieve external success while sacrificing personal fulfilment, relationships, and wellbeing. Drawing on lessons from healthcare, entrepreneurship, and decades of coaching business owners, Rajesh highlights the importance of time-criticality, intentional leadership, and creating businesses that are aligned with personal values. He shares how fear, doubt, anxiety, and limiting beliefs can quietly undermine performance, even when a business appears successful on the surface. The discussion also explores the difference between the fruits of success and the experience of success. Rajesh challenges founders to think beyond revenue, growth, and achievement, and consider whether the business they build is actually creating the life they want to live. Rajesh introduces the CEO Freedom Operating System, a framework designed to help entrepreneurs align personal purpose with business outcomes, creating both commercial success and personal fulfilment. He explains how focusing on the inner game allows leaders to make better decisions, build stronger teams, and create lasting impact. This episode is a powerful reminder that the business you build should not come at the expense of your relationships, health, or happiness. Instead, it should become a vehicle for creating freedom, fulfilment, and a meaningful legacy both inside and outside the business.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Dr. Stephanie Byerly—an anesthesiologist, TedX speaker, and certified life and leadership coach—for a profound and eye-opening conversation about the hidden epidemics affecting women's health: unprocessed trauma, emotional numbness, and the exhausting treadmill of the "achiever identity." Dr. Byerly shares her powerful personal journey, from surviving a chaotic childhood and a traumatic marriage to a life-changing epiphany during a psychodrama workshop. She realized that she had spent her life emotionally numb, a trait that directly mirrored her career in anesthesia. Key Topics Discussed: The "UnNUM" Method: How Dr. Byerly helps high-achieving women move out of survival mode and reclaim their agency using cognitive thought models and somatic safety. The Midlife Awakening: Why women in their late 30s to 50s suddenly experience a "screaming soul" as hormonal shifts and self-actualization force them to confront years of shrinking to fit in. The Trapped Trauma & Autoimmunity Connection: A medical look at how chronic stress, high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores, and stuffed-down emotions manifest as chronic pain, fatigue, and autoimmune conditions, a reality that both Dr. Pinkston and Dr. Byerly have personally navigated. The Narcissist Magnet: Why highly successful, brilliant women are uniquely targeted by narcissistic personalities, and how to heal and become "unstoppable" after breaking free. Dismantling the Patriarchy's Playbook: Understanding the socialization, "likability clauses," and external validation traps that keep women overworking at the expense of their own well-being. https://www.stephaniebyerly.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello to you listening in Mohali, Punjab, India! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. My friend Gene was mulling whether stuff he knows should be passed on in stories to his grandchildren. Nah. The best way for children to learn is to experience the ups and downs of Life themselves. So, no shared stories. I see it differently: You are not now nor will you ever be the only person who wonders if their experiences, trials, tribulations, mistakes, misgivings, victories, and so on are of use to someone else. Here me when I say, stories are the best teachers. I craft these episodes in the hope that someone needs and wants them, will be helped by them, maybe even have a better life because something I said answered the question: “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one!” [C.S. Lewis] People are people; they will still touch fire to see if it's hot. Our stories might just keep them from being burned alive. Story Prompt: When have you shared a Life experience of yours in a story that helped another person? How do you know? Write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, email me [info@quartermoonstoryarts.net] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor and Adam Harris explore AI & its implication for businesses, leadership teams, and the future of EOS. The conversation dives into how AI is rapidly moving from being a “future issue” to something businesses must actively integrate into their daily operations. Debra and Adam discuss the growing role AI can play in productivity, accountability, communication, and leadership support, while also acknowledging the risks and limitations that come with it. Debra shares her personal experiences using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, explaining how AI can dramatically improve efficiency when used properly. At the same time, she highlights the importance of human oversight, noting that AI still lacks the empathy, emotional intelligence, and human connection required for many leadership and people-focused roles. Throughout the episode, Debra and Adam explore whether AI could ever replace EOS implementers, leadership teams, or integrators. While they believe AI will continue transforming workflows and automating repetitive tasks, they argue that trust, empathy, coaching, and difficult conversations still require human interaction. The discussion also touches on the fears many employees and leaders have around AI replacing jobs. Debra emphasizes that AI should be viewed as a tool to augment people, not remove them, freeing teams from repetitive work so they can focus on higher-value thinking, creativity, and leadership. Adam and Debra also discuss the importance of businesses integrating AI intentionally, rather than simply chasing trends. They highlight the need for training, communication, experimentation, and involving the whole organization in the AI journey to avoid resistance and confusion. This episode is a thought-provoking conversation about the future of work, leadership, and EOS, and how businesses can thoughtfully integrate AI in a way that improves efficiency while still protecting the human connection that great businesses are built on.

The Better Life with Dr. Pinkston | Guest: Dr. Jody Carrington In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author Dr. Jody Carrington to tackle the epidemic of emotional burnout, isolation, and stress in today’s rapid-fire, high-tech world. Together, they explore what it means to be fundamentally "human" in an era dominated by screens and automation, offering real, actionable wisdom on how to heal ourselves from the inside out. Key Takeaways from the Discussion The Two Rules of Humanity: Dr. Carrington breaks down our neurobiological wiring. We are built for authentic connection, yet looking each other in the eye remains one of the hardest things we do. The Dysregulated Body: We live with unprecedented noise. Constant notifications act as "cortisol shooters," locking our jaws and raising our shoulders in a primitive "fight or flight" response—even when we are perfectly safe. The "In and Out" Strategy: True self-care isn't just about bubble baths or kale smoothies; it's about regulating your nervous system. Dr. Carrington outlines her rhythm of "Go In, Go Out, Relentless Repeat." The Power of Small Actions: Healing a disconnected world doesn't require starting a massive non-profit overnight. It starts with small, intentional acts of acknowledgment—like waving at your neighbors or making intentional eye contact. Caring for the Helpers: A poignant look at how modern infrastructure fails to support our educators, medical professionals, and first responders, leading to a profound loneliness and mental health crisis among caretakers.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I push back on the idea that Boomers “had it easy” and owe their kids a softer life. Starting with the story of Rufus—a kid who walked into an auto shop two weeks before his 14th birthday to ask for a job—I connect three generations: my dad shoveling outhouses, a young hustler running a repair shop in his teens, and today's grads struggling with housing and work. We talk college degrees vs trades, starter homes then vs now, participation trophies, Sweden and “socialism,” and why, in any era, showing up, doing hard work, and living below your means still beats waiting for the government—or your parents—to fix your life.

Here’s a quick show about getting over yourself, inspired by a passage from Tony Robbins called “8 Rules for a Better Life.” As I read through the rules, I realized they all kind of hearkened back to my old podcast title, Get Over Yourself, which I believe is a quick and effective mantra for happiness, relationship harmony, and continued personal growth instead of getting stuck in ruts and rumination—which seems to be a common problem these days. I talk about how anxiety comes when we ruminate about the future, depression comes when we ruminate about the past, and how so much of our suffering stems from an obsession with the self rather than a focus on service or growth. I also reference comments from former podcast guest Dr. Ron Sinha, who points out that rumination may actually show up as a measurable disease state, with blood markers and physiological effects to support it. Along the way, I go through all eight rules with my own commentary and stories from life, sport, competition, parenting, and everyday stress. I reflect on the pressure and self-importance of racing as a professional triathlete in my 20s, share a memorable finish-line exchange with rival Miles Stewart that changed my perspective on blaming and complaining, and talk about why people almost never change their minds no matter how certain you are that you’re right. I also get into social media giving us “the most intense and graphic scorecards ever in the history of humanity,” my late friend Don Weaver’s hilarious approach to road rage where he would “flip people off five times in a row,” and why happiness and freedom come from growth—not control. I finish with thoughts on Tony’s idea that changing your body changes your emotional state, while also cautioning against turning that insight into the modern “stay hard” mentality where we feel like we always have to push a tired, exhausted body just to feel worthwhile. TIMESTAMPS: Actual blood markers can reveal the effects of rumination about the future, which is a commonproblem these days. [01:03] There are eight rules for a better life. Number one is don't judge yourself. [02:20] Not everything is a matter of life or death. [04:07] Seek to make a contribution. Self respect comes from making a contribution. [07:17] Don't get caught up formulating some elaborate life purpose. Do the right thing and your purposewill unfold. [08:40] Stop patterns of blaming and complaining.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor explores the power of EOS and AI Together with guests Peter and Philipp from Success.co. After scaling a software company to more than $40 million, Peter and Philipp share how discovering EOS completely changed the way they operated their business. Before EOS, their company was growing rapidly but felt chaotic, with leadership spending more time reacting than creating clarity and alignment. Everything shifted when they implemented EOS properly. The structure, accountability, and discipline helped them organize the business, improve communication, and scale far more effectively. But along the way, they became frustrated with the existing EOS software options, finding them clunky, outdated, and lacking the integrations modern businesses needed. That frustration led them to build Success.co, an EOS-focused platform designed to combine the simplicity and purity of EOS with the power of modern technology and AI. Throughout the conversation, Peter and Philipp discuss the importance of staying true to EOS principles while using AI to enhance execution, visibility, and accountability. They explain how their software includes features like real-time updates, mobile accessibility, AI-generated insights, and automation to help leadership teams make better decisions faster. Debra, Peter, and Philipp also explore the future of AI in business, discussing how AI can augment leadership thinking, automate repetitive tasks, improve meetings, and provide deeper operational insights. Rather than replacing people, they believe AI becomes a powerful tool for helping teams work smarter and stay aligned. The episode also highlights the importance of having an EOS implementer, trusting the EOS process fully, and separating facilitation from participation so leadership teams can focus on solving real issues instead of managing meetings. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs interested in the future of business operations, leadership alignment, and how combining EOS and AI together can create more efficient, scalable, and accountable businesses.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston is joined by Dr. Tina Koopersmith, a veteran OB-GYN, fertility specialist, and "woman’s health champion" with over 30 years of experience. Together, they pull back the curtain on a topic often kept "under the table": sexual health and somatic intimacy. Dr. Tina challenges the conventional Western medical model by introducing the concept of Erotic Blueprints. She explains why many women feel like a "head on a stick"—disconnected from their bodies due to stress, hyper-vigilance, and societal pressures. This conversation shifts the focus from simple libido to a deeper understanding of our "sensation systems," exploring how safety, breathwork, and energy flow are the true foundations of pleasure. Key highlights from this episode include: The Five Erotic Archetypes: A breakdown of the Energetic, Sensual, Sexual, Kinky, and Shapeshifter blueprints and how they dictate how we experience pleasure. The Safety-Pleasure Connection: Why the body must feel safe to invite in reproduction and extreme joy. Intimacy as "Into-Me-You-See": Redefining connection beyond the physical act to include spirit, breath, and emotional transparency. Creating Your Life: A powerful look at the transition into menopause as a time to stop creating new life and start creating your own life. Whether you are looking to revitalize a long-term relationship or simply want to re-meet yourself after years of putting others first, this episode offers a refreshing, integrative look at what it means to live an erotic, empowered life. About Today's Guest Dr. Tina Koopersmith is a physician, coach, and speaker. She is the author of the bestselling book Your Healing Playground and host of the podcast by the same name.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor explores why having your best year in business can actually become one of the most dangerous moments for a leadership team.  Drawing on both her experience working with entrepreneurs and the research from Jim Collins, Debra explains how success often creates complacency, weakens discipline, and slowly introduces the behaviours that eventually lead businesses into decline.  She walks through the five stages that many businesses experience after a major period of success. From arrogance built on past wins, to chasing growth without focus, explaining away problems, searching for a saviour, and eventually giving up quietly, Debra highlights how decline is rarely sudden. Instead, it happens gradually when leadership teams stop asking hard questions and start avoiding uncomfortable truths.  Throughout the episode, Debra shares why the businesses that continue scaling successfully are the ones that stay humble, disciplined, and curious, even after major wins. She explains how leadership teams often begin to lose traction when meetings become too polite, scorecards are ignored, and difficult conversations stop happening.  Debra also discusses the dangers of relying on “saviour hires” to fix deeper systemic issues, and why true growth comes from maintaining strong leadership discipline, accountability, and honest communication across the business.  This episode is a powerful reminder that success should never reduce focus or discipline. The businesses that continue to grow after their best year are the ones willing to stay honest, challenge themselves, and keep evolving long after the celebrations are over.         CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/        Episode 271 Chapters:     00:00 – Introduction 00:39 – The Danger of Success in Business   02:24 – Stages of Decline After Success   05:16 – Preventing Decline After Success   06:09 – Ad Lib Questions and Answers   10:22 – Spotting Early Signs of Decline   12:12 – Final Advice for CEOs   

"Eating clean" is more than a diet; it’s a dialogue with your cells. In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Pinkston welcomes New York Times bestselling author and fitness pioneer Tosca Reno to discuss the evolution of the Eat Clean Revolution and the spiritual journey of transformation. Both women share their remarkable stories of losing over 150 pounds and the "inside job" required to sustain that change. Tosca opens up about her "on her knees" moment in 2013—facing profound loss and bankruptcy—and how she used gratitude, movement, and nutrition to rebuild a life of purpose. In this episode, you’ll discover: Nutrition vs. Food: Why Tosca views plants and protein as "encoded information" for the body rather than just calories.

Kyle Thiermann—writer, journalist, big-wave surfer, and podcast host—breaks down why writing is one of the most powerful tools for thinking clearly, processing life, and escaping what he calls “informational grazing.” He explains how writing forces depth in a distracted world, how to build a repeatable creative system, and why analog tools like longhand drafting and structured research still outperform digital shortcuts. The conversation explores how storytelling, curiosity, and asking better questions can transform not only your work, but your relationships—especially when it comes to documenting family history and interviewing your parents before it's too late.They also go deep on fear and performance. Kyle shares how big-wave surfing trains real-time emotional control, including a near-death hold-down in Ireland, and how that same mindset applies to jiu-jitsu, business, and everyday stress. The episode covers breathwork practices ranging from Wim Hof to rebirthing, the role of somatic experiences, and a grounded, honest take on psychedelics—focusing on intention, caution, and integration rather than hype. You'll also hear Kyle's full morning routine, his perspective on creativity in the age of AI, and practical ways to live with more intention, ask better questions, and create a life that's actually worth writing about.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Writing Beats Passive Consumption 03:36 The Truth About Pro Surfing Careers 06:32 Writing Without Self-Censorship 09:36 Why Reporting Improves Writing 13:52 Training Fear Through Big Waves 17:33 Near-Death Wipeout in Ireland 21:23 Breathwork Fundamentals 26:49 Breathwork vs Psychedelics 37:29 Using Psychedelics With Intention 44:43 Morning Routine for Focus 47:22 Creating in the Age of AI 50:06 Better Questions, Better Life 55:11 Navigating Family Trauma 59:39 The Best Questions to Ask 01:07:57 Questions for Depression 01:12:57 Rosebud Thorn Seed Practice 01:16:49 Choosing Fun Over Approval 01:20:29 Capturing Legacy Stories 01:23:23 Where to Find the Book 01:24:02 Final Thoughts and Takeaways

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor tackles one of the biggest barriers to scaling: the conversations leadership teams avoid that could unlock growth.  Debra exposes the “polite meeting trap,” where teams stay comfortable, avoid conflict, and leave meetings with no real decisions or progress. While it may feel safe, this behaviour quietly stalls growth and erodes accountability. She makes it clear that politeness does not build great businesses, effectiveness does.  The episode dives into why leaders avoid hard conversations in the first place. Fear of conflict, protecting relationships, and power dynamics all play a role. When the most senior leader avoids tough topics, the entire team follows, leading to side conversations, misalignment, and slow execution.  Debra explains how EOS provides the structure needed to make these conversations easier and more productive. With clear roles, accountability, and objective data, teams can separate people from problems and focus on solving real issues without emotion taking over.  She also shares practical strategies to shift from avoidance to action, including eliminating sidebar conversations, bringing issues into the room, and regularly assessing whether team members are aligned with core values and truly fit their roles. If your leadership team feels stuck, overly polite, or avoids the real issues, this episode is a direct call to step up, have the conversations that matter, and create the clarity needed to grow.         CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/          Episode 270 Chapters:     00:00 – Introduction 00:55 – EOS Thinking and the Importance of Honest Conversations  02:46 – The Polite Meeting Trap  04:17 – The Founder and Power Dynamic Problem  05:58 – The Role of Structure in Facilitating Hard Conversations  06:49 – Ad Lib Questions and Answers  11:44 – The Real Cost of Polite Meetings  13:59 – Structures That Make Hard Conversations Safer  15:43 – The Importance of Regular Reflection and Conversations

Kalm with Kava | Exploring Natural Ways to Calm Anxiety & Manage Stresswith Morgan SmithIn today's fast-paced world, many people are searching for natural, plant-based ways to calm anxiety and manage daily stress. In this episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Morgan Smith, a kava enthusiast, wellness entrepreneur, and CEO of Monsoon Beverages, as well as the operator of Pu‘īwa Hawaiian Farms.Morgan introduces us to kava, a traditional Pacific Island beverage with a long and respected history. For centuries, kava has been grown and consumed throughout islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. Across these cultures, kava has symbolized respect and connection and has been used in social gatherings, spiritual ceremonies, and traditional healing practices.We explore how kava is now gaining attention in Western wellness circles for its calming and anxiolytic properties. Morgan explains that kava's effects come from its active compounds, kavalactones, which are concentrated in the root of the plant. These compounds interact with the brain's limbic system—particularly the amygdala, which plays a key role in emotional regulation. For many people, this interaction creates a sense of both mental and physical relaxation.Morgan describes kava as the opposite of coffee—an “anti-coffee,” if you will. While coffee is often used to energize and stimulate, kava is typically enjoyed in the evening to help the body unwind and the mind slow down. It doesn't produce intoxication like alcohol; instead, Morgan compares it to a strong chamomile tea with noticeable calming effects.Since I haven't personally tried kava, Morgan also walks us through what someone can expect when trying it for the first time. He shares that kava has a naturally bitter taste (definitely not sweet!) and may cause a mild tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth. Traditionally, kava is served in several small portions—often called “shells,” named after the coconut shells originally used to drink it.While kava may not be for everyone, this conversation opens the door to understanding natural herbal options that support relaxation, stress relief, and emotional well-being. It's a thoughtful exploration of ancient wisdom meeting modern wellness.To learn more about kava and Morgan's work, visit Kalm with Kava at https://kalmwithkava.com/✨ If you're curious about natural ways to calm anxiety, reduce stress, and support your nervous system, this episode is a must-listen.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

Dr Radha Modgil is joined by endurance athlete, investor and author Ken Rideout for an inspiring Intelligence Squared conversation on what it really takes to transform your life. Drawing on the ideas in his book Everything You Want Is On The Other Side of Hard, Rideout argues that growth, confidence and fulfilment are only found by deliberately choosing discomfort over ease. Together, they explore why so many of us avoid difficult challenges, how modern life conditions us to seek convenience, and what is lost when we do. Rideout shares lessons from his own journey—from addiction and adversity to elite-level endurance sport—and explains how discipline, accountability and doing “hard things” can reshape not just your mindset, but your entire future. Blending personal storytelling with practical insight, this episode offers a clear, uncompromising perspective on resilience, mental toughness and the pursuit of a more meaningful life. ...  Or Subscribe on Apple for £4.99: - Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared podcasts - Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series … Already a subscriber?
