Send us Fan MailWhat does it really take to build a career in professional sport?This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with strength and conditioning coach Jason Martin as he prepares to begin a new chapter as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs.Jason's path began early, earning his first training certification at just 16 before completing his Physical Education degree at McGill University. His career would eventually take him through CrossFit, professional tennis, Major League Baseball, more than a decade of working with hockey players, and three seasons in player development with the Pittsburgh Penguins.But this conversation is about much more than Jason's résumé.We talk about the influence of mentorship, particularly his relationship with Andy O'Brien, and why experience can't simply be replaced by collecting certifications. Jason shares his thoughts on asking for feedback, recognizing your limitations, building genuine relationships, and allowing a career to develop without trying to engineer every next step.We also dig into one of the most important challenges of working in professional sport: earning the trust of athletes who didn't necessarily choose you to work with them.Jason's philosophy is refreshingly simple. Ask questions. Listen. Understand what the athlete needs. Be good to people. Do quality work. And give trust the time it needs to develop.A great conversation about coaching, mentorship, relationships, experience, and the long game of building a meaningful career in high performance.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com

Kelly is back with a straight-talk episode on what it actually takes to grow right now, in a market that's changing faster than most business owners are willing to admit. She walks through the shift she keeps coming back to, why trust has become the single most valuable currency in business, and the specific moves that are working today versus the ones that quietly stopped working a while ago. Along the way she reframes what real growth looks like, where most founders are misplacing their time and energy, and the mindset shift that makes the next level feel far more attainable than it does when you're grinding alone. If you've been feeling like the old playbook isn't landing the way it used to, this episode is the reset. What's inside: The market shift most people are underestimating Why trust and relationships now beat reach and volume Where founders are misplacing their time The mindset that makes the next level feel reachable Timestamps (estimated) 00:00 — The opening: what Kelly wants you to rethink today 03:00 — How the market has actually shifted 06:00 — Why trust has become the most valuable currency in business 09:00 — What's working now vs. what quietly stopped working 12:00 — Where most founders are misplacing their time and energy 15:00 — The reframe on what real growth looks like 18:00 — Close: the next right step (Estimated — send the actual runtime and I'll re-map.

What actually separates the coaches building thriving online businesses from everyone else?In this episode of the Skillest Pod, Baden Schaff sits down with Mark Govier and Alex Clapp to unpack what great modern coaching really looks like — and why simply being a great instructor is no longer enough.They dig into how Mark and Alex structure long-term player development, create clear roadmaps for their students, use content to extend their coaching beyond the lesson, and build the kind of high-touch relationships that keep players engaged for years.But the conversation goes much deeper into growth.How do you go from 1,000 followers to your first 15 subscribers? What should you actually post? How do you turn content into conversations? Why can a game evaluation be more powerful than a “free lesson”? And why do coaches need to be willing to do the unscalable work at the beginning?Mark shares why consistency matters more than going viral — including the years he spent creating content when almost nobody was watching. Alex breaks down exactly how he uses social media, DMs and game evaluations to bring golfers into his world. And Baden explains why starting just a handful of genuine conversations every week can completely change a coach's business.The big takeaway?You're not selling online lessons. You're building relationships.And the coaches who understand that are building something far bigger than a lesson diary — they're building an academy in the cloud.

David Homan is the founder and CEO of Orchestrated Connecting, a global community of connectors, as well as Orchestrated Opportunities and SOAR Connect, a startup focused on building authentic relationships at scale. A former nonprofit CEO who was responsible for 85% of his organization's fundraising, David has built a global network around one core philosophy: create value for others without expecting an immediate return. He shares how generosity, curiosity, vulnerability, and trust can transform networking from a transactional activity into a powerful long-term business strategy. On this episode we talk about: How David discovered the long-term financial value of making introductions with no expectation of return Why the best networking relationships are built over years rather than through quick transactions The difference between authentic connectors and “collectors” who simply try to accumulate contacts Why introverts can actually be some of the best networkers How curiosity, vulnerability, and generosity create deeper relationships and better business opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Play the long game with relationships. The most valuable connections often don't produce an immediate return. David emphasizes that meaningful relationship value can take two or more years to materialize. Give before you ask. Instead of approaching successful or influential people wondering what you can get from them, look for ways to genuinely help them without expecting anything in return. Prioritize authenticity over posturing. Great networking isn't about working the room, collecting business cards, or knowing the most people. It's about listening, being curious, showing vulnerability, and making people feel heard and trusted. Notable Quotes “You have to be more curious to others than they are to you, and you have to be willing to be vulnerable.” “If you offer help, ask somebody to respond back to you with a written note for what they need. And ninety percent of people are unwilling to do that work.” “A natural giver is uncomfortable being given to.” Connect with David Homan: LinkedIn: David Homan Instagram: @the_connection_orchestrator on Instagram Website: DavidHoman.com ; https://orchestratedconnecting.com/ Book: Orchestrating Connection: How to Build Purposeful Community in a Tribal World A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with young dispatchers Kyle Williams and Alden Hazelwood to talk about their paths to Oakley Trucking, starting in the shop, and how that hands-on experience now shapes the way they dispatch. They discuss key topics like the 2290 heavy road use tax reminder, the dangers of road rage and speeding, and why communication between drivers, dispatch, and customers is critical. Kyle and Alden explain their day-to-day responsibilities, how they plan loads, manage problems like breakdowns, and track settlements to ensure owner-operators get good miles and pay. They also highlight the importance of relationships, understanding geography and different dry bulk divisions (hoppers, pneumatics, end dumps), and seeing things from both the customer and driver perspective. The main takeaway for listeners is that successful trucking at Oakley depends on safety, clear communication, mutual trust, and a shared commitment between dispatch and owner-operators to pull in the same direction.

That's the question at the heart of this episode of the JP Dinnell Podcast. In this Q&A episode, JP Dinnell and Lucas answer listener questions that range from fitness and career growth to leadership, recognition, workplace relationships, and intellectual property. While the questions seem unrelated at first, they all point to one central principle: character is revealed by the decisions you make when taking the shortcut would be easier. JP explains why chasing recognition can quietly become an ego problem, why comparing yourself to others steals both joy and progress, and why the strongest leaders focus on serving others instead of seeking credit. Whether you're leading a business, managing a team, raising a family, or pursuing personal growth, this episode offers practical wisdom for making decisions rooted in integrity rather than convenience. One of the most compelling conversations centers around a listener who created valuable intellectual property while employed by a company. Instead of asking, "What can I legally take?" JP reframes the question: "What is the right thing to do?" His answer highlights the difference between legal rights and ethical leadership, encouraging listeners to think beyond short-term gain and consider reputation, trust, and long-term relationships. JP also discusses: Why recognition shouldn't be your motivation. How to avoid the comparison trap. The importance of building relationships with everyone—not just people who can advance your career. Taking care of your physical health with consistency rather than chasing trends. Choosing integrity even when nobody would know otherwise. This episode is a reminder that leadership begins long before someone gives you a title. It begins with everyday choices, humility, and the willingness to do what is right even when it's difficult. Whether you're a business owner, manager, entrepreneur, military veteran, coach, or someone striving to become a better husband, father, teammate, or leader, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about success, reputation, and character. In this episode: Leadership through integrity Why ego holds people back Building lasting relationships Fitness and longevity Career growth and humility Intellectual property and ethics Making decisions with long-term perspective Character under pressure If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing to the JP Dinnell Podcast and sharing it with someone who values leadership, ownership, and living with integrity. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates 02:47 The Importance of Community Support 06:07 Preparing for Physical Challenges 09:01 Injury Prevention and Recovery Strategies 14:57 The Role of Nutrition and Rest 22:02 Overcoming Comparison and Celebrating Others 25:01 Navigating Personal Growth and Adversity 25:52 Navigating Workplace Recognition and Ego 29:48 The Importance of Building Relationships 30:33 Performance vs. Relationship in the Workplace 34:10 Ethics in Intellectual Property 42:11 Choosing Integrity Over Temptation

Effective leadership requires the ability to bring together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. In this blog post, Evan Alicuben, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, reflects on a recent STS Leadership Institute session on leading diverse teams and implicit bias, where case-based discussions with peers explored practical approaches to fostering inclusion and navigating challenging workplace situations. Dr. Alicuben writes, "Only by purposefully leading will we bring success to a diverse team." 

Welcome to HALO Talks, where host Pete Moore sits down with Rich Drengberg, CEO of EoS Fitness and a seasoned leader in the fitness industry. In a rare podcast appearance, Rich shares his journey from Gold's Gym SoCal to transforming EoS into a powerhouse of high-value, low-price gyms across the Sunbelt. Listeners will get an inside look at EoS's disciplined growth, the importance of industry relationships, lessons from private equity partnerships, and why knowing your brand's identity is crucial, straight from someone who's helped steer one of the fastest-growing health club chains in the country.  Whether you're an operator, investor, or fitness enthusiast, this episode offers invaluable insights on building teams, scaling strategically, and staying ahead in a competitive landscape. Regarding chosing the right partner when looking to sell, Rich states, "We were in a great situation when we went to market that we didn't have to sell, and we were able to kind of pick who we wanted to partner with. And it was an interview process both ways. And because of that, we were able to have our cake and eat it too." Key themes discussed Transition from Gold's Gym to EoS Strategic and disciplined growth decisions Importance of experienced teams and industry relationships Private equity influence and operational mindset shift Real estate strategy and anchor tenant positioning Staying true to brand identity amidst trends Partner selection and aligning with TSG for expansion A Few Key Takeaways 1. The Power of Sticking to a Clear Identity: Staying true to the company's vision and brand identity was emphasized as vital for long-term success. EoS avoided "chasing every trend" and only adopted changes that matched their strategic direction, which helped them avoid diluting their brand and losing their core audience 25:23. 2. Disciplined, Focused Growth Strategies: EoS's growth was marked by a disciplined approach to new markets and acquisitions. Opportunities were critically evaluated, and only those fitting their model (right location, box size, and alignment with EoS values) were pursued. This sometimes meant saying "no" to enticing deals that didn't fit the vision 05:10. 3. Mentorship and Learning from Experience: Rich credited much of his development and EoS's success to mentors like Bob Giardina and Bruce Bruckman. Their guidance helped shift his mindset from operating a handful of gyms to building a scalable platform, and highlighted the importance of focusing on real estate and bigger picture growth rather than getting bogged down in minor operational optimizations 12:29. 4. Building Relationships is Key to Expansion: Entering new markets and securing prime real estate depended heavily on building trust and relationships with landlords, developers, and REITs. Early on, EoS was not the first choice for many landlords, but through perseverance and relationship-building, they became a preferred anchor tenant 15:28. 5. Industry Know-How Over Outsider Expertise: The episode stressed that having a team with deep industry experience ("gym rats" as described) was critical. EoS's management came from fitness, not coffee chains or hardware stores, enabling them to make better, faster decisions pertinent to the unique demands of the fitness business 17:26.

John Krupinsky grew up in Danbury Connecticut in a law enforcement family — his father and brother were both cops. He followed that path starting in Ridgefield before joining the Danbury Police Department where he spent 45 years working undercover becoming a sergeant and a detective running drug busts and working alongside federal agencies. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, John shares the complete truth about what 45 years in law enforcement really looked like — from policing in the 80s and 90s to undercover work to drug busts to the city's relationship with federal agencies to his take on local cops working with ICE to why it is harder to be a cop today to dealing with social media and first amendment auditors to massage parlor busts to encountering Ian personally when he owned a club in Danbury to going viral to the Black Lives Matter movement. _____________________________________________ #cops #police #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to GLD & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: GLD: New customers get 40% Off with code LOCKEDIN at https://www.gld.com/ _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to http://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and free daily greens per box, with new subscription only, while supplies last until 09/27/2026.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  Building high-performance teams, especially in dynamic industries, can be one of the biggest challenges a leader faces.  Sometimes passionate founders or senior leaders can go from passionate advocate to authoritarian autocrat.  Left unchecked, this can lead to organizations underperforming in the long term and missed opportunities.  So where is the balance?   In this episode, Kim speaks with Liz Wiseman, the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers.  Liz and Kim explore the pitfalls of authoritarian leadership, the power of multipliers, and how leaders can foster environments where everyone does the best work of their lives and builds the best relationships of their careers. Liz does point out that there are certain, limited instances where a top down, “command and control” approach is the right choice (for example, during an acute crisis), but these instances should be rare and targeted.  They also discuss practical strategies for managing diminishing leaders and creating impact regardless of leadership style. They also talk about the importance of understanding power dynamics in leadership.   Guest Background: Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to top organizations worldwide. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers Multipliers, The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players.

Embracing Change in Higher Education: Insights from Nate Tucker In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, educational institutions often find themselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenge of adapting to new paradigms. In this blog post, we'll explore the insights shared by Nate Tucker, Vice President for Information Technology at Lee University, during his conversation with Dr. Rod Berger. This discussion delves into the intersection of technology and education, highlighting the importance of human connection, effective communication, and the need for adaptability in the face of change. The Impact of In-Person Experiences Nate Tucker reflects on his experience attending a talk by Bill Nye, the Science Guy, emphasizing how live interactions enhance the effectiveness of communication. Watching Nye engage with the audience reinforced the idea that communication transcends words; it encompasses body language, facial expressions, and the energy in the room. This experience serves as a reminder that the essence of communication is not just in the delivery but in how it resonates with the audience.   Understanding this dynamic is crucial in the educational sector, where fostering a positive learning environment relies on effective communication. Educators and technologists alike must focus on creating experiences that are engaging and relatable, making tough subjects more accessible. Navigating the Overload of Information In an era characterized by an overwhelming influx of information, Tucker addresses the notion of a modern obsession with content. With technology advancing at an unprecedented pace, individuals often find themselves inundated with choices and opportunities, leading to anxiety and confusion. Tucker suggests that leaders in education must guide their communities through this noise. By building relationships and demonstrating the tangible benefits of technological changes, educators can alleviate fears and encourage acceptance of new tools and systems. This is particularly vital in a landscape where decisions about technology must be made swiftly, often without the luxury of extensive deliberation.   Building Relationships to Foster Change One of the key themes in Tucker's approach is the importance of relationship-building. He notes that fostering connections within the institution can significantly ease the transition to new technologies. By prioritizing relationships, educators can create an environment where change is not only accepted but embraced. Tucker emphasizes the role of empathy in leadership, suggesting that understanding the concerns of faculty and staff is essential. When people see how a change will benefit them, they are more likely to support it. This perspective aligns with the idea that effective leadership is rooted in the ability to connect with others and convey a shared vision. The Puzzle of Technology in Education Tucker likens the process of integrating technology in education to solving a never-ending puzzle. Each piece represents a different aspect of technology, and as new tools emerge, the picture continuously evolves. Education leaders must remain agile, adapting their strategies to fit the changing landscape. The shift from traditional methods to agile approaches in project management reflects this need for adaptability. By embracing iterative processes, educators can respond to feedback and make necessary adjustments more rapidly, ultimately enhancing the educational experience. The Importance of Community Support Tucker highlights the value of community in navigating the challenges faced by educational institutions. He mentions various organizations and forums that provide a safe space for educators to share ideas, seek advice, and learn from one another's experiences. This collaborative approach fosters a culture of support and encourages innovation. In a world where competition is fierce, the higher education community can thrive by sharing best practices and insights. When institutions work together, they can collectively uplift the standards of education and ensure that all students receive the best possible experience. Key Takeaways - **Communication Matters**: Effective communication involves more than just words; it's about engaging with the audience on multiple levels.   - **Build Relationships**: Fostering connections can ease the anxieties associated with technological changes and encourage acceptance.   - **Adaptability Is Key**: The landscape of education is ever-evolving, and leaders must be prepared to pivot and adjust their strategies accordingly.   - **Community Support**: Collaborating with other institutions can lead to shared success and innovation in the field of education.   As technology continues to reshape the educational landscape, the insights shared by Nate Tucker remind us of the importance of human connection, effective communication, and adaptability. By focusing on building relationships and fostering a supportive community, educators can navigate the challenges of change and create a positive learning environment for all.     Want to dive deeper into this topic?

What if your next retreat venue was a walkable, luxury beach community on the Texas Coast — fully furnished, photographer-ready, and designed to make your attendees feel like they're living in a neighborhood instead of checking into a hotel? In this episode, Shannon sits down with Lee Ann Peters, the powerhouse behind Cinnamon Shore — a New Urbanist luxury beach community on the Texas Coast that has become one of Southern Living's Top 10 Beach Towns in the United States. Lee Ann left a successful Atlanta real estate career in the middle of the Great Recession to build something most people said couldn't be done. 700+ residences later, she's still building — and retreat leaders are starting to take notice. Shannon shares her own experience hosting a sold-out (and oversold!) retreat at Cinnamon Shore — and breaks down exactly why this community works so well for retreat business planning. From scalable home rentals and built-in community amenities to a luxury aesthetic that elevates your retreat brand without the resort price tag, this episode is packed with practical inspiration for retreat leaders ready to think differently about venue selection. In this episode: Why Cinnamon Shore is an underrated goldmine for retreat leaders How to scale your retreat from intimate to large by renting multiple adjacent homes The New Urbanist design philosophy that creates a built-in retreat environment Why a Texas beach retreat is a surprisingly powerful niche with massive market reach How the right venue elevates your retreat brand and drives word-of-mouth The support system at Cinnamon Shore that makes hosting effortless for retreat leaders Lee Ann's story of building a legacy community from the ground up — and what retreat leaders can learn from her vision If you've been searching for a venue that does the heavy lifting for your retreat experience, this episode is your sign.

Phillip Stutts returns to the Travis Makes Money Podcast to share what happened after he stepped away from the personal branding treadmill and focused entirely on growing his businesses. As the co-founder and executive chairman of CD6, Phillip has helped drive over 1,700 election victories, worked with Fortune 200 companies, and advised leaders ranging from presidential campaigns to Tony Robbins. In this conversation, he reveals why he disappeared from podcasting and media appearances for three years, how his companies more than doubled in value during that time, and why relationship-based businesses may be one of the safest bets in an AI-driven future. On this episode we talk about: Why Phillip walked away from personal branding, podcast appearances, and media exposure How focusing on core business operations doubled his company's valuation What private equity firms are looking for in the age of AI Why relationship-driven businesses have a powerful competitive moat Balancing entrepreneurship, family, and long-term wealth creation Top 3 Takeaways Relationship-based businesses are becoming increasingly valuable because AI cannot replicate the trust and networks built through years of human connections. Entrepreneurs should identify the parts of their businesses that are irreplaceable by AI and invest heavily in strengthening those advantages. Success doesn't require constant content creation or personal branding—sometimes focusing on your core business creates far greater returns. Notable Quotes "The question is what part of your business can't be disrupted. That's what you have to be investing in right now." "Ruthlessly prioritize balance. If one thing gets out of balance, a lot of things start falling apart." "My identity isn't wrapped around my brand anymore. My identity is being a dad and a husband."
