In this episode of Maximum Lawyer Live, host Tyson Mutrux shares insights on the difference between what you do and how you do it, inspired by a Disney cast member who brought creativity and joy to his work. Tyson discusses the power of employee autonomy, mindset, and workplace culture.Tyson shares how to implement employee freedom within a firm. Nordstrom is a retailer that is notorious for having amazing customer service, in which their employees are able to go above and beyond for their customers. This is seen in their generous return policy. For Tyson, a great firm is one that gives their employees the opportunity to be the best person for their client. This could be providing them with a gift at the end of the case or being proactive and setting up recurring meetings to keep clients updated. At the end of the day, it is all about making sure the client is taken care of.Building a culture that fosters magic is extremely important for any firm. It is important to create an environment where people can have the right mindset to thrive. Think about areas you can improve. What areas are you micromanaging? When do you need to step back and let staff have more creative freedom?

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros expose a common breakdown in personal growth that has nothing to do with motivation or effort. It starts with the moment you set a goal and quietly avoid the standard required to achieve it. This episode centers on self-leadership, accountability, and the discipline to act in alignment with who you say you want to become. It challenges the way most people negotiate with themselves, lowers expectations under pressure, and confuses awareness with progress. The result is stalled momentum and eroded self-trust.If you want results that compound and standards that hold, this episode will force an honest look at who is really in charge of your future.

Recorded live at FMI 2026, Omni Talk Retail hosts Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton wrap up their conference coverage with Benjamin Bond, SVP, Strategy & Client Success at Simbe, from the Simbe booth. In this final interview of the conference, Ben shares how Simbe thinks about long term strategy while working day to day with retailers to ensure value realization at scale. He explains why shelf intelligence succeeds when entire organizations align around the store associate, and how Simbe's technology helps teams prioritize, act in real time, and run better stores. The conversation goes beyond the robot demo to explore how retailers move from pilot programs to full chain deployments, how CFOs evaluate emerging technology investments, and why shelf data is becoming one of the most foundational datasets in retail. Ben also looks ahead to how Simbe's platform, AI, and computer vision continue to evolve across grocery and other retail verticals. Key Topics Covered - Ben Bond's role spanning strategy and client success at Simbe - Empowering store associates with real time shelf intelligence - Moving from pilot programs to large scale deployments - Building the business case and ROI for retail robotics - Operating models that drive long term retailer success - The future of computer vision, AI, and multimodal platforms - Expanding beyond grocery into additional retail sectors This conversation closes out Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from FMI 2026, recorded at the Simbe booth. #FMI2026 #OmniTalkRetail #Simbe #RetailTechnology #ShelfIntelligence #RetailOperations #StoreExecution #RetailRobotics

In this gripping second installment of our "Years of Lead" series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison sits down with parapolitical researcher Doc Inferno to unpack the turbulent era of political violence in Italy during the 1970s and 1980s. Building on the foundational overview from part one, episode NWJ741 shifts the spotlight to the infamous Red Brigades, exploring their radical origins amid Italy's social upheavals, economic discontent, and the broader Cold War tensions that fueled leftist extremism. We delve into the ideological underpinnings that transformed disillusioned intellectuals and workers into armed revolutionaries, challenging the status quo through a lens of Marxist-Leninist philosophy and anti-capitalist fervor.Join us as Doc Inferno brings his expertise to bear on key figures like Renato Curcio and Margherita Cagol, the founding minds behind the Red Brigades, alongside insights into allied groups and the broader network of militant organizations that amplified the chaos. From clandestine operations to high-profile kidnappings and assassinations, this conversation uncovers the mentality that drove these actors, their strategic evolution, and the lasting impact on Italian society. Whether you're a history buff or new to parapolitics, this episode offers a nuanced, unflinching look at a dark chapter that still resonates today—tune in for revelations that will leave you questioning the thin line between ideology and insurgency.Subscribe to Doc's Channel- https://www.youtube.com/@UCQC_OpQR9aMgA-86rufjHyQPlease consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

One of the most common mistakes we see people do is they try to do it themselves, like with a spreadsheet. If your business grows and you end up, you know, like Most businesses do, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 people, and you're still trying to use spreadsheets and not use a system that ends up in a really bad place. You don't have audit logs for traffic, you know, for, for, for history. You don't have compliance, you know, you don't have transparency a lot of times. So you lac of these modern features where, you know, you choose a system like us and like everything's right here in your phone. That's probably the biggest mistake is they're either choosing the wrong system, not choosing a system at all, or they're trying to like, leverage a spreadsheet or a word doc or a Google Doc to run their business. And that, that never turns out well.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found@drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie Calls On Call, Extraordinary Answering Service as well as the Bold Business book. And today we're welcoming Slash, preparing to learn from Dean Matthews from On the Clock. So, Dean, how is it going today? Dean Mathews [00:01:21]: It is going wonderful, James. Thank you so much for having me. I can't wait to chat with you. James Kademan [00:01:26]: Yeah, you know, I'm excited to talk to you for a few reasons. One, you've been in business seemingly forever, so that's. Dean Mathews [00:01:33]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:34]: And the other is you seem to be pretty people centric, which is great, and I'm gonna dare say rare. And on top of that, you run a service, the timekeeping system, I guess that we. My gosh, when I was looking for a timekeeping system forever ago, it was bizarre to me how few options I found that actually could do all of the things. Dean Mathews [00:01:59]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:59]: And I'm like, I'm not asking for a rocket ship to the moon or anything. I'm just literally asking to keep track of employees hours. That's all I want. Dean Mathews [00:02:06]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:02:07]: So how about you? Let's just start from the very beginning, right back at the dawn of time. Dean Mathews [00:02:11]: Dawn of time. James Kademan [00:02:12]: When did you get started with? On the clock? Dean Mathews [00:02:14]: Yeah. So I'll give you the quick rundown. So I'm kind of a, I guess you call it a quote unquote, serial entrepreneur, if you will. Quite A few startups, businesses, side projects, passion projects throughout the years. But with on the Clock back In like the mid 2000 era, I had several projects, passion projects going on. On the Clock was one of them. I'm always looking for problems that I can solve. So this is the kitchen story or the kitchen table story. Dean Mathews [00:02:49]: This was late 2003 ish. So like 20 some years ago now, sitting at the kitchen table, looking through forums, business forums, remember those business, small business accounting forums. And I saw this trend of all these small business owners and accountants in this forum, just talking. I just looking for something simple, something like you just said, that works well, something that can track my employees time. And I want it online and I want it easy and I want it reliable. That was their two requests. So I was sitting there and I was reading that and I'm like, I'm going to build that for them. So I'm also a software developer or in a former life I was a software developer. Dean Mathews [00:03:34]: So I set out to build it and pretty much within a couple months we actually had on the clock running. It was very simple, very bare bones, but it was up and running. Employees could clock in and clock out, managers and admins could get time for payroll. And it was really just a passion project at that time along with, you know, several others. And kind of fast forward to right around 10ish years ago, it had just been kind of organically growing on its own. Like I said, it was more of a side project. But about that 10ish years ago, Mark, really it started, started getting to the point to where I couldn't ignore it anymore. So decided to go all in with on the Clock and want to just focus on one thing really, really heavily and put all my energy into it instead of half a dozen or a dozen different projects. Dean Mathews [00:04:26]: So focused on that and decided to turn it from a passion project to a real business. Got it into an llc. My brother Mark was also interested in doing some of these things so got him to come on board. And we hired our first employee, Samantha. She's still with us today. She's actually moved up a lot in the tier. She is now product owner. Super proud of her. Dean Mathews [00:04:52]: And so now we're sitting where it's 22 of us total and we serve about 18,000 customers, mostly here in the United States. James Kademan [00:05:00]: Yeah, 18,000. Dean Mathews [00:05:01]: 18,000. Yeah. It's crazy. James Kademan [00:05:04]: Holy cow. Dean Mathews [00:05:04]: That is a. James Kademan [00:05:06]: That's a pool and a half. Dean Mathews [00:05:07]: Yeah, it's a. Yeah, two and a half pools. James Kademan [00:05:10]: So crazy. Dean Mathews [00:05:11]: Yeah, it's kind of crazy when you Step back and look at it and. But you know, it goes to show you, you know, you put your effort and your time and your energy into something and it can pay off, it can turn into something big. James Kademan [00:05:22]: Yeah, yeah, Tell me a story. You were doing software before you said so were your other passion projects software based? Dean Mathews [00:05:30]: Almost all of them were, yes. So built a kind of like an online survey type tool similar to like a survey monkey where you could ask different surveys. Had a database type tool where you could just create a database for anything you wanted to contacts customers, sales online. Started that one, had another payments processing, a business to business payments processing, Ach type solution. Those are two or three of the ones that I started. There was a couple others as well. They kind of, some started, some really took off, some didn't, some just kind of floundered. But yeah, so I always had that entrepreneurial spirit, just wanting to do something big, you know, just make a change, something I could just stand on and, you know, just be happy with. James Kademan [00:06:18]: Yeah, it's interesting, I had another guest on the show, I don't know, fairly recently and he said all we want to do is sell usernames and passwords. So I feel like you're, you're in that world, which is pretty good world to be in. Dean Mathews [00:06:34]: Yeah, yeah. James Kademan [00:06:36]: Tell me a story as far as the back end goes, because programming languages that were popular 20 years ago are not necessarily the same now. So has your platform shifted or had huge rewrites or anything over the course of the past couple decades? Dean Mathews [00:06:52]: Yeah, from a technology standpoint, the technology we wrote it in, you know, 22, three years ago now is an older technology. Right. And it, it still worked, but you really have to keep up with the times. You can't just sit on these older technologies. You know, developers aren't versed in them anymore, they're inefficient. And the new technologies have so much more to offer for our customer experience. So we started a venture about three years ago, ish, where we called it Move and Improve, where we pick off a couple pages, a couple screens at a time and move those over to the new new technology. So now as of the turn of this year, there's just a couple little pieces we're picking up now, but we are going to be 100. Dean Mathews [00:07:41]:

Relentless drive isn't the problem for most high performers. The real breakdown happens when self-belief collapses after early success and hustle turns into motion without direction. This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we've shared. In this one, I'm joined by Rob Dyrdek to challenge the idea that working harder fixes everything and explore why success stalls when it isn't intentionally designed.  We also talk about rebuilding belief after hitting bottom, mastering time as a strategic advantage, and designing systems that create real wealth without burning your life down. Rob Dyrdek is a serial entrepreneur, producer, and former professional skateboarder. He is the creator of Ridiculousness and the founder of Dyrdek Machine, a venture studio that has built 18 brands with six exits totaling over $550M. Rob is also the CEO of Existence and the mind behind Time Creationism, a framework focused on engineering time at scale. What We Discuss: (00:02) Losing self-belief after early success and why hustle stops working (11:38) How subconscious belief shapes trajectory more than effort (13:27) Hitting rock bottom and the decision to reprogram belief (19:18) Why self-belief isn't motivation, it's data and mastery (46:41) Designing time as a strategic asset instead of reacting to life (52:03) Why balance must come before scale, not after (56:47) Building systems that create wealth without burning your life down Thank you to our sponsors: Prolon: Get 30% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!

In today's episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Sandy Arave, a 55-year-old high school counselor whose path to bodybuilding success is anything but conventional. Sandy began competing in 2022 and earned her Pro card at North Americans in 2024. In 2025, she made her Pro debut and went on to win two Pro shows in the 55+ categories.   Before bodybuilding, Sandy lived a very different competitive life as a barrel racer, competing at professional rodeos. Her journey into the sport came alongside navigating grief, health challenges, and major life transitions. This conversation is an honest look at resilience, purpose, and why chasing growth matters more than chasing a card.   TOPICS COVERED -Living and competing through grief and trauma -Transitioning from competitive barrel racing to bodybuilding -Building and leaning on a strong support system -Lessons learned through failure and setbacks -Being a role model at any age -Prioritizing health while pursuing big goals   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html   CONNECT WITH SANDY:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandytaylorarave_ifbbpro/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 3:14 having a competitive nature 5:53 life before competing 13:13 balance work life and competing 16:56 competing through grief 26:41 how grief has impacted her life 35:16 taking chances 43:10 advice for balancing life and competing 52:35 making her Pro debut 59:30 dealing with thyroid issues 66:38 prioritizing health 73:05 advice for competitors   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE

How do we fight the very system we're stuck in? If every road we end up on bottlenecks to the same hole they want us stuck in, should we even bother?There's a place for all of us in the systemic fight, and it's a matter of filling needs that you can fill, as they arise. Some of us will need to stay in the bottle, but we can keep flooding the neck of the bottle from the inside, and because it's already showing signs of cracking - we should never let up until it does. But some people hate the damned bottle, and will find they are best used outside of the bottle, throwing rocks at the facade to show how fallible it is. Some of us will have escaped the bottle already and be creating new, more connected and expansive roads for when the bottle shatters and we all need a new path, and some of us will be stuck, in the bottom of the bottle, waiting for the glass shards to fall and bury them, or for someone outside to pull them. Find a place for yourself. Building new roads, or breaking the bottle neck that has been causing so much harm. It's impossible to see your own issues when you're in them. If you're stuck in the abusive system you're not likely to see how abusive it is until you've escaped it.You have to back up to see the whole picture. Your nose is on the wall, back up a few steps and you'll see how big and broken the wall is. When we see how other systems are working, it becomes clear all the ways ours isn't.

Business Coaching Secrets Episode 330 Recap In this episode, Karl Bryan and Road Dog dive deep into the hidden levers behind luxury branding for coaches, the power of the "illusion of scarcity," and the real-world tactics for building an elite personal brand and momentum. They unpack why so many coaches lose the "battle within," what actually works to attract high-end clients, why quality sleep is a business advantage, and concrete ways to overcome the self-promotion struggle. Authentic, actionable, and packed with direct advice, this episode is your roadmap for moving from stuck to standout in your coaching business. Key Topics Covered Luxury Branding and the Illusion of Scarcity Karl Bryan reveals why luxury brands like Rolex, Ferrari, and Louis Vuitton succeed—it's less about their logo and more about perceived scarcity and margins. Tangible tactics for coaches to position themselves as high-value, "hard-to-get" authorities, using the example of a busy calendar and limited client spots. Overcoming the Battle Within Karl Bryan shares mindset frameworks for winning the internal struggle (imposter syndrome, lack of focus) that derails coaches. Why changing your identity—not just your thoughts—is the foundation for lasting transformation. The Science of High Performance: Sleep, Energy & Routine Game-changing advice on tracking sleep and its direct impact on business results. How routines, environment, and sleep discipline make elite performance possible for coaches and clients alike. Building a Magnetic Personal Brand Why so many coaches struggle with self-promotion and the bio trap—and the surprising truth about what really builds trust and reputation online. Step-by-step guidance on creating daily content, showing value, and leveraging both AI and authenticity. Momentum, Discipline, and Consistency How to set activity-based targets (like 25 daily reach-outs) and detach from outcomes to build real momentum. The compounding power of relentless daily action and how skipping days destroys progress—using analogies from Michael Phelps, Tom Brady, and more. Notable Quotes "If you don't believe in your coaching, you won't transfer belief. You can't transfer what you don't already own." – Karl Bryan "You don't want your marketing to be Toyota in a Ferrari world. Illusion of scarcity is a superpower." – Karl Bryan "You can do anything, but you can't do everything. Define what you want—clarity is the cure for being stuck." – Karl Bryan "Sleep is probably the greatest investment you can make—in your life, in your business, everywhere." – Karl Bryan "Trust is built in moments, not your bio. The lurkers are the ones who buy." – Karl Bryan "The only thing harder than building a brand is trying to keep this podcast under 90 minutes." – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Create Scarcity in Your Practice: Limit the number of client spots, show a full calendar, and don't always be available. Position yourself as in demand—even before you're full. Be Activity-Driven: Set daily reach-out targets (like 25 per day). Track activities, not just results, and detach from what you can't control. Invest in Sleep: Build a consistent, high-quality sleep routine. Track your sleep depth and protect your energy as fiercely as your calendar. Build Authority Through Value Moments: Focus social content on authentic "aha" moments, stories, and real solutions instead of just credentials. Leverage AI Wisely: Use tools like ChatGPT to spark and structure social content, but always infuse your unique personality and experiences. Momentum Is Everything: Don't skip days. Small actions, consistently applied, create compounding results. Discipline is the difference-maker. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value openly in your market—through events, free calls, and actionable insights—before expecting a sale. Personal Brand Focus: Don't obsess over your bio or likes; serve, post, and show your expertise. The buyers ("lurkers") are watching.

Rob Genovesi's journey from poverty to profitable entrepreneurship reveals that business success hinges on overcoming fear through conviction, not fearlessness. He fundamentally reframes professionalism—it's not about how you dress but the results you deliver. His core insight is that personal branding is non-negotiable business strategy: while companies can fail, a strong personal brand cannot be taken away and becomes your greatest asset for future opportunities. T Rob exposes how most business communication fails through sameness. His solution is ruthlessly specific: use distinctive language that conveys the same meaning but cannot be replicated, creating what he calls a splinter in people's mind. The counterintuitive truth he shares is that taking a polarizing stand rooted in genuine conviction attracts passionate followers and repels detractors, which is safer and more effective than attempting universal appeal that pleases no one. Rob Genovesi's mission democratizes brand strategy by proving it's accessible to anyone willing to do authentic self-work and show up genuinely. Discover what it truly takes to build a strong brand that attracts your ideal clients with a complimentary copy of his book: Don't Fear The Brand: The Art of Building a Strong Brand That Attracts here.

Key Takeaways: Cash Flow Comes First: A strong business focuses on steady cash flow and healthy profit margins, not just growing sales numbers. Keep a Safety Buffer: Having at least six months of expenses set aside helps a business survive slow periods and unexpected challenges. Grow Without Losing Profit: Growth should never hurt profitability. The goal is to expand in a way that keeps the business financially healthy. Think Long Term: The best businesses are built to last. Quick growth that isn't sustainable often leads to problems down the road. Choose Strong Assets: Investing in assets that hold value over time, like Bitcoin, can support long-term financial stability and growth.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Building Stability in Business Amidst Chaos 3:07 Cash Flow Versus Revenue in Business Stability 3:39 Balancing Profitability and Revenue Growth in Business 4:38 The Impact of Expensive Money on Entrepreneurial Ventures 6:03 Importance of Financial Reserves and Real Asset Storage in Business 8:13 Investing in Bitcoin for Long-Term Business Growth 9:41 Building a Real Business with Strategic Investment   Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Food justice activists have worked to increase access to healthy food in low-income communities of color across the United States. Yet despite their best intentions, they often perpetuate food access inequalities and racial stereotypes. In Food Justice Undone: Lessons for Building a Better Movement (U California Press, 2026) Hanna Garth shows how the movement has been affected by misconceptions and assumptions about residents, as well as by unclear definitions of justice and what it means to be healthy. Focusing on broad structures and microlevel processes, Garth reveals how power dynamics shape social justice movements in particular ways. Drawing on twelve years of ethnographic research, Garth examines what motivates people from more affluent, majority-white areas of the city to intervene in South Central Los Angeles. She argues that the concepts of "food justice" and "healthy food" operate as racially coded language, reinforcing the idea that health problems in low-income Black and Brown communities can be solved through individual behavior rather than structural change. Food Justice Undone explores the stakes of social justice and the possibility of multiracial coalitions working toward a better future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Summary In this episode of Leadership on the Links, Tyler Bloom sits down with Jim Pavonetti, recipient of the 2025 GCSAA President's Award for Environmental Stewardship, to explore how sustainability, data-driven decision-making, and long-term planning define elite golf course leadership. Jim shares his journey from working his way up through municipal golf to leading a premier private club, detailing how a lifelong connection to the outdoors shaped his philosophy as a superintendent. The conversation covers how environmental stewardship can become a competitive advantage for clubs—not just an operational initiative—by improving course conditions, reducing inputs, and even attracting new members. Jim explains how small, intentional steps build member buy-in, why data and benchmarks matter more than ever, and how defining maintenance standards protects both the superintendent and the club. Throughout the episode, Jim offers candid advice on leadership longevity, continuous learning, and resisting the urge to "do everything at once."

Food justice activists have worked to increase access to healthy food in low-income communities of color across the United States. Yet despite their best intentions, they often perpetuate food access inequalities and racial stereotypes. In Food Justice Undone: Lessons for Building a Better Movement (U California Press, 2026) Hanna Garth shows how the movement has been affected by misconceptions and assumptions about residents, as well as by unclear definitions of justice and what it means to be healthy. Focusing on broad structures and microlevel processes, Garth reveals how power dynamics shape social justice movements in particular ways. Drawing on twelve years of ethnographic research, Garth examines what motivates people from more affluent, majority-white areas of the city to intervene in South Central Los Angeles. She argues that the concepts of "food justice" and "healthy food" operate as racially coded language, reinforcing the idea that health problems in low-income Black and Brown communities can be solved through individual behavior rather than structural change. Food Justice Undone explores the stakes of social justice and the possibility of multiracial coalitions working toward a better future. Learn more about your ad choices.
