You're Not Stuck. You're Just Asleep. In this episode: Why I treat books like cheat codes for life (and why this one's at the top of my stack) The Mark Twain quote that calls out “willful ignorance” in all of us What makes Anthony de Mello's writing hit different—direct, a little uncomfortable, always clarifying The realization that you don't have to believe every thought you think (and why that's a game changer) 4 Big Ideas from The Way to Love “What makes you happy or unhappy is not the world and the people around you, but the thinking in your head.” Happiness isn't out there—it's in how you interpret what's already here Noticing your internal commentary is the first step to real freedom “You see persons and things not as they are but as you are…” We all see life through a cracked filter of fear, control, and expectations If you're sideways with someone, it's usually about you, not them Stop personalizing other people's behavior—own your lens “Habits must be limited to things mechanical—not to love or to sight. Who wants to be loved from habit.” Love isn't meant to run on autopilot Get in the habit of being present—with yourself, and with others Real connection comes from presence, not routine Presence builds trust, trust creates influence, and influence is how we co-create “Contemplate the walls… just observing your ideas, habits, attachments, and fears without judgment…” Most of what runs you isn't real until you feed it judgment Don't try to fix your thoughts—just watch them. Awareness melts resistance Ego and true awareness can't coexist Key Takeaways: You don't need more effort, you need more awareness Subtract the noise and you find presence (and real freedom) This book isn't about “doing”—it's about “seeing” The simplest way to change your life might just be to stop fighting and start observing Mentioned in this episode: The Way to Love by Anthony de Mello Mark Twain's wisdom on reading Connect: Instagram: @kevinkepple Facebook: @KevinKeppleCoaching

Check out my newsletter at ⁠TKOPOD.com⁠ and join my new community at ⁠TKOwners.com⁠.I sat down with Sam Thompson again and we talked about why it's never been easier to clone massive SaaS companies and sell the same functionality for 90% less. We broke down how AI is turning platforms like Salesforce, AppFolio, and RentManager into overpriced dinosaurs, and how you can use tools like BuiltWith, G2, and Manus to reverse-engineer their features and customers. Sam even shared how he ran paid traffic to a $1 trial landing page before building the product—and people bought it. We also talked about his new strategy for selling backlinks like products in a Shopify-style marketplace, why form factor changes (like caffeinated gum or chewable toothpaste) are underrated business models, and how his hummingbird nectar side hustle is still going strong.

In this riveting conversation, Dr. Stephen Riggs shares his remarkable journey from conventional primary care physician to pioneering metabolic health specialist. After 30 years of traditional practice, everything changed when his wife handed him "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung. Initially skeptical, Dr. Riggs tested the low-carb approach with his patients and witnessed transformations that defied his medical training: patients reversing type 2 diabetes, coming off insulin, and experiencing substantial weight loss in mere months.Dr. Riggs reveals how he built a comprehensive metabolic health clinic within a traditional healthcare system by meticulously tracking patient outcomes and demonstrating remarkable cost savings—over $550,000 annually in medication reductions from just 220 patients. He discusses his "Low Carb Bootcamp" program that achieves a 73% diabetes reversal rate and how his team approach incorporates health coaches, nutritionists, and food addiction specialists.Perhaps most fascinating is Dr. Riggs' observation that 95% of patients with food addiction see their addiction resolved within 8-12 weeks on a ketogenic diet—without specific addiction counseling. He offers practical insights on protein requirements, implementing lifestyle changes in America's heartland, and navigating resistance from colleagues and insurance companies.This conversation offers a powerful glimpse into how evidence-based nutritional interventions are quietly revolutionizing healthcare from within the system, bringing joy back to medicine by truly healing patients rather than merely managing their decline.BIG IDEA"Nutrition went from being basically irrelevant to me—I got almost zero nutritional training, what little I did was probably wrong—and now it's the biggest tool in my toolbox by far."Stephen Riggs, MD Contact InfoPersonal Website:www.livingbyDesignKetonutrition.com Metabolic Clinic Site:MercyOne.org/LivingbyDesign Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this candid conversation with Siouxie Bishoff, founder of Scrummy Sweets, we uncover the troubling truth behind food industry practices and ingredients. After struggling with health issues including a connective tissue disease and long-term Lyme, Siouxie began creating her own blood sugar-friendly gummy bears in her kitchen. What she discovered when trying to scale her homemade recipe to commercial production was shocking - manufacturers routinely use harmful chemicals while exploiting labeling loopholes to hide them from consumers.Siouxie shares her battle to maintain product integrity against industry pressure to cut corners, revealing how "natural flavors" can contain numerous concerning additives, and how ingredients banned in Europe for health concerns remain common in American products. Despite significantly higher production costs, she refuses to compromise on quality, sourcing organic ingredients and rejecting harmful additives.This conversation exposes the hidden health impacts of seemingly innocuous treats and demonstrates why having truly clean options matters - especially for those managing conditions like diabetes or epilepsy through diet. Whether you're following a ketogenic lifestyle or simply want to understand what's really in your food, this eye-opening discussion will transform how you read ingredient labels forever.BIG IDEA"I don't want a product that's going to spike your blood sugar - I want a product that's going to help somebody in their health journey, and I know what constant elevated insulin is going to do to a human body."Siouxie Bishoff - Contact InfoWebsite: https://scrummysweets.com/Facebook: https://facebook.com/scrummysweetscoInstagram: https://instagram.com/scrummysweetscoSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode, Jeff Benjamin, Global CCO of Tombras, shares how AI helps him get unstuck, build confidence, and push bold ideas forward—even when self-doubt creeps in. From romcom scripts to Arby's pitches, he shows how AI acts as a sparring partner: sharpening thinking, stress-testing ideas, and keeping momentum alive.We get into what separates distinct from generic, why affirmation can be a trap, and how the urge to share is still at the heart of creativity. If you're chasing big ideas—or just trying to beat the blank page—this one hits home.Key Takeaways:Affirmation builds momentum—but can also blind you — One of AI's biggest features is how confidently it backs you up. That “glazing” energy feels great—but if you don't challenge it, you risk falling in love with something average. Confidence needs a counterbalance: taste.The best prompt is a person—not a question — Jeff gets better output by asking AI to role-play voices he respects—like Don Draper or a cold war-era Olympic judge. The magic isn't in better instructions. It's in asking from a more interesting perspective.Your idea is ready when it bubbles over — Jeff doesn't go to his team with half-baked concepts. He waits until the idea is bubbling—when he can't not share it. That moment is emotional, not procedural. AI helps him reach it faster—but the instinct to share is still deeply human.Big ideas have width—AI helps him see the shape — For Jeff, a great idea isn't a line—it's a landscape. If it's a real “big idea,” it spawns more ideas: social angles, activations, scripts. AI helps him test whether a concept has legs—or if it's just a clever line with no room to run.Jeff's LinkedIn: Jeff Benjamin | LinkedInTombras: Tombras | Full-Service Independent Advertising Agency00:00 Overcoming Self-Doubt in Business00:37 Meet Jeff Benjamin: Creative Leader at Tombras00:56 The Role of AI in Creative Processes02:24 Using AI as a Sparring Partner04:34 Practical Examples of AI in Action09:31 The Impact of AI on Team Dynamics11:37 Balancing AI and Human Creativity14:13 The Future of AI in Creative Industries21:06 Exploring Human Skills for AI Mastery22:09 The Art of Asking Better Questions22:40 AI as a Creative Partner24:41 The Excitement of Sharing Ideas30:09 Generational Differences in AI Interaction32:35 The Risk of AI Dehumanization38:19 Concluding Thoughts

Ron shares his extensive experience transitioning from corporate juggernauts like L'Oreal to coaching smaller enterprises. The conversation highlights the critical transformation needed in leadership and structure for scaling businesses, the challenges of maintaining accountability, and the exciting yet daunting integration of AI in business practices. Ron offers practical strategies to avoid the pitfalls of stagnation and propel businesses towards sustainable growth and innovation. Thank you for listening to the Leaders, Innovators and Big Ideas podcast where we showcase fascinating people who are Leaders, Innovators, and have Big Ideas! Host: Rea Hailley Driven by a deep-seated belief in the power of entrepreneurship, Rea leads New Idea Machine in empowering businesses with innovative digital solutions. Having witnessed the grit and triumph of her parents building a business from scratch, Rea is passionate about enabling significant revenue growth and seamless operations for startups and Small/Medium Businesses, ensuring their dedication translates into tangible success. Guest: Ron Szekely lives and works at the intersection of creativity and commerce, helping leaders build compelling businesses, brands, and teams with the potential to change the world. He has always viewed the business world as a delicate dance between art and science. Growing up as a magician performing at children's parties, Ron discovered early on the power of suspending disbelief, imagining potential outcomes, and reading a room. This early fascination centered on unrealized futures, endless possibilities within designed constraints, and parameters of control. Ron studied both marketing and design at university, with ambitions of working in advertising—an environment where controlled creativity serves the needs of business. Ron's career in marketing spans 25+ years, including executive roles with global enterprises such as L'Oréal, Sanofi, and Keurig, where he led large teams and managed multi-million-dollar budgets. While he thrived within the structured environment of large corporations, he has also been drawn to the passion and drive found in entrepreneurial ventures. Transitioning to founder-led companies, Ron served as Head of Marketing and Innovation for several of Canada's fastest-growing consumer goods brands, skillfully blending profitable growth with purpose-driven brand experience. Ron has experienced the full spectrum of the business world, from large corporate structures to scaling start-ups to founding his own marketing agency. Throughout his journey, he has developed a deep appreciation for the spirit of possibility that fuels growth. His passion for entrepreneurship led him to create BOS360, a proprietary and progressive business coaching methodology and practice. BOS360 fuses the art and science of business across strategy, brand, and team—unlocking growth and cultivating happy, healthy, high-performing companies. Ron is not a traditional business coach. He immerses himself empathetically in his client's business to uncover their unique value, asking the uncomfortable questions and leveraging inversion and varied mental models to turn obstacles into opportunities, finding the simple path to greatness. For Ron, true growth is where intelligence becomes creative. At his core, Ron Szekely is a business idealist, believing that perception is reality. Grounded in truth, he uses optimism to help light the path forward for inspiring entrepreneurs. Ron firmly believes that optimism is a success builder and a strategy that can be operationalized to create scalable businesses and a better future. Show Links: BOS360  Show Quotes: "A doom loop happens when you really get caught in the short term... It's making sure that they step back a little bit and recognize that they're in a doom loop." "It's the only tool that will tell you how to best utilize it ... Have you asked it? ... It will go in detail about the industry overall, about their specific company." "Becoming better and better at what they do, the more they do it ... creates a momentum where the bigger they get, the easier it gets." Credits...

In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, for another installment in the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series—this time targeting the Internal Revenue Service. Jeremiah breaks down how outdated pandemic-era tax subsidies—expanded under the American Rescue Plan—are still being paid out today, even to higher-income individuals who don't need them. Reverting to the original subsidy rules for the Obamacare marketplace could save taxpayers a staggering $383 billion. The episode also exposes shocking mismanagement inside the IRS, including nearly 3,000 IRS employees who owe back taxes and over $4.7 trillion in untraceable federal spending due to failed accounting practices. Jeremiah explains how simple reforms like the LEDGER Act could bring long-overdue transparency to the Treasury and restore public trust. This is a can't-miss conversation about fiscal responsibility, common sense reforms, and how everyday Americans can play a role in cutting $2 trillion in wasteful government spending.

The Secret to Unlocking Team Genius with Dave Garrison

This week on the podcast, we sat down with Dave Garrison, author of The Buy-In Advantage, to unpack what it really takes to build trust, unlock collective genius, and lead in a way that makes people want to follow — not just comply. Big Ideas from the Episode 1. Lead with Questions, Not Answers Too many leaders default to "solving" when they should be curious. Dave challenges us to create space for others' ideas by asking better questions — and letting silence do some of the heavy lifting. 2. Trust Is Built Through Vulnerability Want more openness from your team? Go first. Admit mistakes, be transparent about uncertainty, and model the behavior you want to see. Trust follows behavior — not titles. 3. Rethink Your Meetings No more "death by update." Share status reports in writing and use meeting time to solve real problems, explore new ideas, and tap into group intelligence. Pro tip: Leaders should speak last to avoid biasing the room. 4. Use the ‘Collective Genius' Framework To unlock true collective intelligence, start by defining the problem and the criteria for success before any brainstorming begins. This ensures everyone is solving the same problem and aiming at the same outcome. Next, give people time to reflect individually before the meeting — even a short pause or overnight buffer allows for deeper thinking and better ideas. When it's time to gather input, capture every idea without judgment or immediate evaluation. This creates psychological safety and encourages contributions from all voices, not just the loudest. Once ideas are on the table, use cumulative voting — where participants can allocate multiple votes — to prioritize the most promising directions. Finally, focus the group's energy and discussion only on the top-voted ideas. This keeps the conversation productive, targeted, and respectful of everyone's time and input. 5. Make Feedback a System, Not a Surprise Regular process checks after meetings, employee-led reviews, and clear growth conversations build a culture of continuous improvement. Ask often: “How can I better support you?” Leadership in Action Use “Connection Questions” in meetings to build trustTry “honorable closure” — end meetings with a quick reflection or feedback momentSet reminders (even on Post-its) to ask before tellingHave your team lead their own reviews — it builds ownership Try This This Week: ✅ Ask one more question before offering an opinion ✅ Run a meeting where you speak last ✅ Do a 60-second feedback loop at the end of your next team session Learn more about Dave Garrison over at Garrison Growth.

Medical Textbooks Get It Wrong: How Ketosis-Transforming Kidney Disease Treatment - Thomas Weims PHD

Stay Off My Operating Table

Dr. Thomas Weims, Professor at UC Santa Barbara, shares his revolutionary findings on treating polycystic kidney disease through ketogenic interventions. After 25 years of research, his lab accidentally discovered that ketosis dramatically halts and even reverses PKD progression—something previously thought impossible. The medical establishment had long maintained that PKD, a genetic disease affecting 600,000 Americans, was untreatable through dietary means. Yet Weims' research demonstrates that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary ketone produced during ketosis, shows more potent effects than any pharmacological intervention his team tested. In a groundbreaking clinical trial, patients on a ketogenic diet experienced improved kidney function and reduced kidney volume in just three months—the first time such reversal has ever been documented in PKD. Weims explains the science behind this therapeutic approach, how it challenges entrenched medical dogma, and why this metabolic therapy may benefit all forms of chronic kidney disease. This conversation exposes how decades of medical education about diet and kidney health have been based on hypothetical papers rather than clinical evidence, offering hope to millions suffering from progressive kidney conditions.BIG IDEA"What we found more recently is that the progression of polycystic kidney disease is not really driven by gene mutations as previously thought—a patient inherits a bad gene, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will have rapidly progressing PKD."Gary Taubes Contact InfoWebsite: https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/Website: https://garytaubes.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Leveraging Thought Leadership with Peter Winick

What happens when a top-tier academic walks away from the ivory tower and becomes a powerhouse investor? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with David Bell—former Wharton professor, founder of Idea Farm Ventures, and investor in some of the biggest direct-to-consumer brands you know: Warby Parker, Bonobos, Harry's, Diapers.com, and Jet.com. David shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, offering real insight into why some thought leaders are drawn to the business world—and how they can thrive there. It's not just about having ideas. It's about turning those ideas into scalable, revenue-generating ventures. Execution isn't optional. It's everything. We dig into the frameworks David uses to evaluate whether a business is built for success—or doomed by bad execution. Why do 90% of ventures fail? Why do smart people struggle to build smart businesses? And how can thought leaders avoid the trap of "great idea, poor implementation"? You'll hear how David thinks about reinvention, the crumbling edges of higher education, and why thought leaders need more than charisma—they need operational rigor. This isn't theory. It's the playbook for transforming thought leadership into a business engine. Three Key Takeaways: • Ideas are easy—execution is everything. Most ventures fail not because of bad ideas, but because of poor execution. Thought leaders need discipline in branding, pricing, and go-to-market strategies. • Academia is no longer the only path. Experts are increasingly leaving universities to apply their knowledge in startups, tech, and corporate innovation roles—where their insights can drive real-world impact. • Strong thought leadership needs a solid business model. Concepts must be packaged into tangible, scalable offerings to succeed—whether that's products, platforms, or frameworks. If you found the David Bell episode insightful—especially the focus on turning great ideas into scalable businesses—don't miss our conversation with Michael McFall, co-CEO of Biggby Coffee. Like David, Michael dives deep into the reality that execution—not just inspiration—is what drives success. He shares hard-earned lessons on building systems, staying aligned with your purpose, and scaling a business without losing sight of your values. Both episodes tackle the tough questions around bringing thought leadership to life in the real world. Tune in to hear how strategy meets sweat equity.

In this episode of American Potential, guest Austen Bannon, employment policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity, breaks down two urgent issues costing Americans time, opportunity, and tax dollars: outdated rules that make it nearly impossible to fire underperforming federal workers, and laws that prevent gig workers from getting the portable benefits they need. Austen explains how commonsense reforms—like simplifying the process for removing federal employees who aren't doing their jobs—could save taxpayers millions and restore accountability in government. He also shares how states like Utah, Tennessee, and Alabama are pioneering voluntary portable benefits programs that allow independent contractors to pool resources for health care and retirement, giving them greater freedom and security in the modern economy. Learn how modernizing these rules can empower workers, foster innovation, and ensure our government works better for everyone.

Tune in to hear the lesson of "prompt engineers" and an analogy of how playing in a punk band is like learning to use AI.In this week's episode of CMO Confidential, five-time CMO Mike Linton is joined by Michael Treff, CEO of award-winning agency Code and Theory for a no-holds-barred discussion on why most AI strategies are missing the point.Treff—who leads an agency named B2B Agency of the Year by Ad Age and innovation standout by Fast Company—argues that leaders are mistaking AI tools for strategy. Instead, he lays out a bold case for orchestration—aligning people, tools, and data across the enterprise to drive real customer value. Together, Mike and Michael unpack: • Why B2B marketers need to stop treating customers like corporate buyers and start treating them like humans. • Why defensive strategies during disruption are a recipe for irrelevance. • The myth of the “big idea”—and why creativity has been democratized. • Why prompt engineers were never the future. • What AI orchestration really means—and how it can finally connect data silos, unify customer journeys, and drive performance.Whether you're a CMO, agency leader, or aspiring executive, this is an unmissable playbook for navigating AI disruption, avoiding short-sighted efficiency traps, and building brands that thrive.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Jeremiah Mosteller, policy director at Americans for Prosperity, for the latest installment in the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series. The focus: the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)—the federal government's HR department—and a surprising proposal that could save $237 billion without touching current employee benefits. From the absurd reality of federal retirement files being processed in a limestone mine in Pennsylvania, to relocation costs nearing $170,000 per employee, the episode exposes waste and inefficiencies taxpayers rarely hear about. But there's good news: Jeremiah shares how shifting new federal employees to a modern, portable retirement plan—like a 401(k)—already the gold standard in the private sector—could generate massive long-term savings. And it wouldn't change anything for current employees. Listen to hear how smart reforms and private-sector solutions are helping DogE (the initiative to cut $2 trillion in wasteful federal spending) chip away at bureaucratic bloat—and how you can submit your own savings ideas at DogeIdea.com.
