I recently apologized to my shower handle.No, really. I turned off the water before rinsing out my conditioner, reached back to flip it on again, and instinctively said sorry to a cold, metal, completely inanimate faucet. And that moment stopped me dead in my tracks, because if I'm apologizing to shower handles, what else am I unnecessarily apologizing for in my life and business?This episode is a little different. I'm reading you an essay I originally published on my Substack, Beyond Business, because I genuinely believe so many of you need to hear it, not just read it. It's something I was almost too scared to put out into the world. But here's what I know: the over-apologizing so many of us do, especially as women in business, is costing us. It's costing us deals, visibility, clients, confidence, and the kind of success we've worked incredibly hard for.In this episode, you'll hear…Why so many of us learned to over-apologize long before we ever started a business, and how that pattern is still running the showThe jaw-dropping (and infuriating) moment at a law firm that made me feel like my ambition was something to be ashamed ofWhere over-apologizing shows up in your business, including in your marketing, your pricing conversations, and how you manage your teamA reflection prompt to help you identify where you might be apologizing unnecessarily, and what to do about itClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Subscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessGrab a copy of Sam's book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be HappyIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

From spotting the early signals in boutique fitness and turning that into a global software company, to building one of Ireland's best-known wellness festivals over a decade, Anthony shares what it really takes to grow in a category that is evolving in real time.

Everyone's talking about Substack — and maybe you're curious, a little skeptical, and 100% wondering if you actually need to add another platform to your already-full plate.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair welcome back Luigino Bruni for a second conversation, this time exploring how churches and religious orders confront crisis. An economist and scholar of organisational life, Bruni reflects on what is at stake when Christian communities lose confidence. Attentive to the extent that the methods of management culture have become defaults for many church systems, he observes how communities are losing touch with the core of what it means to be God's people. At the heart of a Christian community is the presence of Jesus among the people of God, and the task of those entrusted with care and oversight is to help their people discern the movements of the Spirit, both among them, and in their local communities. Bruni counsels that this is not the work of outside consultants bringing business models into the church. He cautions that outsourcing can lead to confusion and weaken the heart of communal life. Instead, he believes that in the midst of our great unravelling, churches and communities facing difficulty have a special calling. He insists that “crisis itself has precious things to teach”, and that at such times, the work of a community is to embrace practices of discernment that are rooted in the confidence that Christ is among them making all things new.  Professor Luigino Bruni is an economist, an historian of economic thought and a scholar of organisational life. He is Professor of Political Economy at the Lumsa University in Rome, a public non-state Italian university formed on Catholic principles. Here he also coordinates the Phd Programme in Civil Economy. His scholarship of economics extends to biblical commentaries on the history of economic thought as well as to the religious nature of capitalism. Professor Bruni is involved in many grassroots projects devoted to developing a new economic paradigm: he is International Co-ordinator of the Economy of Communion project, a Board member of the Economy of Francesco Foundation and a member of the international Focolare movement. In addition, he is Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Economics, an active columnist and author of many books.LinksFor Luigino Brunihttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/https://www.luiginobruni.it/it/ec-ea.htmlhttps://francescoeconomy.org/eof-board/https://lumsa.it/it/docenti/luigino-brunihttps://www.edc-online.org/it/header-pubblicazioni/luigino-bruni.htmlhttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/ec-ea/communities-are-not-businesses-managerial-culture-extinguishes-charisma.htmlhttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/ec-ea/mother-superior-or-leader-the-convent-is-not-a-business.htmlBooksThe Genesis and Ethos of the MarketCivil Economy: Another Idea of the Market co-authored with Stefano ZamagniThe Wound and the Blessing: Economics, Relationships, and HappinessCapitalism and Christianity: Origins, Spirit and Betrayal of the Market EconomyThe Economy of Salvation: Ethical and Anthropological Foundations of Market Relations in the First Two Books of the BibleThe Economics of Values-Based Organisations: An IntroductionFurther books in English listed herehttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/books.htmlFor Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:https://t4cg.substack.com/s/editorialshttps://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/https://x.com/T4CGhttps://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKhttps://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Kindness, clear communication, and mutual respect aren't just nice-to-haves in the wedding industry—they're the essential building blocks for creating seamless wedding experiences. Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator,  and Owner of For the Love of Events, Amanda Borrero, joins CWP Society COO, Krisy Thomas,  as she shares powerful insights on navigating vendor relationships with professionalism and grace.Ever wondered why some wedding days flow effortlessly while others feel tense? The difference often lies in how wedding professionals interact with one another. Amanda reveals how "killing them with kindness" transformed challenging vendor situations into collaborative partnerships, including a remarkable story about a photographer who later apologized for their behavior after being met with nothing but helpfulness and positivity.Communication breakdowns between vendors can derail even the most meticulously planned weddings. We explore why email remains the gold standard for vendor communication (hint: wedding planners are juggling hundreds of conversations across dozens of events), and why cutting planners out of client conversations creates unnecessary havoc. From photographers making timeline changes directly with couples to DJs demanding last-minute adjustments, these communication missteps create problems that affect everyone involved.The podcast doesn't shy away from addressing professional appearance and behavior. Those wrinkled t-shirts and blue jeans at formal weddings? They're not just fashion faux pas—they're signs of disrespect for the occasion and the couple's investment. We discuss why matching the event's formality level matters and share cringe-worthy examples of vendors who missed the mark.Perhaps most valuable are Amanda's insights on post-wedding appreciation. The simple act of thanking fellow vendors, leaving positive reviews, and acknowledging exceptional work builds a supportive network that benefits everyone. For new professionals looking to break into established vendor circles, Amanda offers golden advice: personalized email outreach trumps Instagram DMs every time.Whether you're an established wedding professional or just starting your journey, this episode provides the blueprint for building the vendor relationships that will sustain your business for years to come.

What is the link between social science and entrepreneurship? To give us the answer, Will Hutton speaks to Professor Eleanor Shaw OBE, an academic specialising in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Strathclyde to delve into the social science dimension of entrepreneurship.  Eleanor believes that entrepreneurial spirit stems from recognising and addressing unfulfilled societal needs. In the conversation, they discuss successful entrepreneurs who contribute to communities and not just their bottom line. Eleanor addresses the idea of whether entrepreneurial skills are innate or can be cultivated. She argues that while some individuals may have a natural propensity for entrepreneurship, everyone has the potential to develop entrepreneurial skills given the right environment. Join acclaimed journalist and Academy president Will Hutton, as he invites guests from the world of social science to explore the stories behind the news and hear their solutions to society's most pressing problems.

In this episode, I open up about my decision to travel to Uganda—a trip that's less about adventure and more about reconnecting with what truly matters. After more than a decade in an industry that glorifies success and appearances, I've found myself searching for deeper meaning and alignment in life and work.
