This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Chris LaBarbera trumpet interview"   About Chris LaBarbera: Christopher LaBarbera began playing trumpet in middle school in 1974, and by the age of 14 was already sitting in on local jam sessions and gigs. By his early twenties he had become an in-demand freelancer, performing with artists such as Wayne Newton, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra Jr., and many others. Chris studied with the legendary Donald S. “Doc” Reinhardt, whose “Pivot System” remains one of the most influential and detailed approaches to brass playing ever developed. Building on that legacy, Chris has taught the Reinhardt system for many years, helping countless students unlock their potential by tailoring embouchure, breathing, and playing mechanics to each individual. Today, Chris is recognized not only for his wide-ranging performance career but also as a dedicated teacher and mentor, carrying forward Reinhardt's principles while making them accessible and practical for modern players.   Episode Links: Vinnie Tanno performing with the Lon Norman Sextet in 1957 (mentioned by Chris) Fabulous trumpet solo by Chris, in "St. James Infirmary"   Upcoming Events: Virtuosity Musical Instruments Boston, October 16 & 18.

    Why Is Finishing So Hard? Helping Neurodivergent Kids Cross the Finish Line

    Let's be honest: if your kiddos leave a trail of half-finished projects, open browser tabs, and idea explosions in their wake, you are SO not alone. Neurodivergent kids (and their amazing, multitasking moms!) can struggle with seeing things through—not because they're lazy or unmotivated, but because the finish line often feels fuzzy, overwhelming, or just plain boring. In this week's episode, we're unpacking: Why finishing is tough for neurodivergent kiddos, whether it's next-step anxiety, perfectionism, time blindness, or working memory hurdles. The power of “done statements”—specific, clear criteria for what finished actually looks like. (Think: “This is done when you've done 10 math problems with all steps shown” or “Laundry is done when it's in the drawer and the basket is empty.”) Works-in-progress (WIP) limits – One “now” and one “next,” with everything else safely parked and waiting. (Idea overload, be gone!) Quick wins and tiny products: Get something DONE in a day with a postcard summary, a 3-slide deck, or a 60-second voice memo. Saving progress rituals: So nothing gets lost, and future-you can jump right back in—next steps, photos, and all. Keeping motivation up: Dopamine logs, gallery walls, and flexible closure routines—because DONE is more important than PERFECT. Lots of love for all our creative, innovative kids (gifted, 2e, ADHD, autistic, and more). Remember—these strategies are for real families, with real kids, and I promise you, they WORK.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsor: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

    At just 17 years old, John Karpov immigrated alone from Kazakhstan to Canada, barely speaking English and with no safety net.

    Jesse fields six wide-ranging listener questions that dig into the heart of financial planning and investing. He opens with a challenge to the idea that age alone dictates portfolio strategy, emphasizing instead that time horizons, goals, and diversification determine the right balance between growth and preservation. From there, Jesse advises a listener who recently inherited $1 million on how to integrate the windfall into an early retirement plan through detailed cash flow projections, withdrawal strategies, and careful consideration of pensions and Social Security. Next, he unpacks the difference between risk tolerance and risk capacity—framing them as willingness versus ability to take risk—and illustrates how these concepts vary depending on age, assets, and future income. A question about bonds leads to a deep dive on duration, interest rate sensitivity, and why bond funds and individual bonds behave more alike than many investors assume, with practical guidance on structuring fixed income for retirement needs. Shifting to income growth, Jesse shares seven strategies for boosting earnings over time, from negotiating raises and pursuing certifications to building businesses, climbing the career ladder, and gaining equity participation. Finally, he closes with a clear primer on Bitcoin, explaining blockchain, mining, and the role of trust in money, while stressing that investors don't need cryptocurrency in their portfolios—but should at least understand what it is and why it matters. Key Takeaways: • Investment strategy should be based on goals and timelines, not just age. • A $1 million inheritance should be planned with the same rigor as any other asset, while respecting any personal or emotional ties. • Risk tolerance reflects your willingness to endure volatility, while risk capacity measures your financial ability to recover from losses. • Bond funds and individual bonds are functionally similar, especially when held to maturity. • Negotiating with employers or job hopping can be effective short-term paths to higher pay. Building side businesses or securing equity participation can create outsized wealth growth over time. • Investors don't need crypto in their portfolios, but understanding how it works helps in today's financial landscape.

    Faith, Family, and Building an Unshakable Legacy What's the secret to building a family, a business, and a life that actually lasts? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Willie and Korie Robertson—founders of the Duck Dynasty legacy and one of the most faith-driven families in America—to talk about what it really takes to stay grounded in success, marriage, and purpose. You've seen the fame, the show, and the empire, but today you're going to hear the heart behind it all—the values, struggles, and faith that have held it together. Willie and Korie open up about what it's like to build a business as a family and why their faith has always been the cornerstone of everything they do. We get real about what it means to raise kids with character in a culture that's lost its way, and why success without strong values will never be sustainable. They share how fame tested their foundation, how they stayed united through challenges, and why keeping God at the center of every decision changed everything. We also talk about marriage—the hard parts, not just the highlight reel. Willie and Korie reveal how they've navigated seasons of conflict, learned to communicate through differences, and kept their relationship alive in the middle of raising a big family and running multiple businesses. There's real wisdom here on what it takes to build a marriage that's unshakable, not because it's perfect, but because it's rooted in grace and growth. This conversation isn't just about Duck Dynasty—it's about what it means to lead with conviction, love deeply, and leave a legacy that outlives you. Whether you're building a business, leading a family, or trying to figure out your next chapter, this episode is a masterclass on faith, vision, and perseverance. The Robertsons remind us that you can have both success and peace if you're willing to build on the right foundation. Key Takeaways: Why faith is the cornerstone of the Robertson family's success How to stay grounded when fame and pressure hit The keys to building a marriage that lasts through every season What it takes to raise strong, values-driven kids in today's world How to build a business and a legacy that honor God and serve others If you've ever wondered how to build something that truly matters—something that lasts beyond the spotlight—this conversation will show you the way. — Max Out Also don't miss out on MAXOUT2026: Once a year, I open my home for an intimate one-day experience unlike anything else I do.

    What makes a great CEO today won't be enough tomorrow. In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Carolyn Dewar, McKinsey Senior Partner and coauthor of A CEO for All Seasons—a practical, research-backed roadmap for leaders navigating the full arc of CEO leadership. Building on her global work advising top executives and the success of her previous bestseller CEO Excellence, Carolyn offers a candid, timely, and deeply strategic perspective on how CEOs can lead—and let go—with clarity, discipline, and impact.Carolyn and Mahan explore the four leadership “seasons” every CEO moves through: preparation, early tenure, sustained performance, and exit. But what sets this conversation apart is its real-world focus on what actually trips up leaders—misjudged transitions, misplaced confidence, and the false comfort of past success. This isn't theoretical leadership advice—it's practical insight shaped by years of advising CEOs and boards during high-stakes moments.What emerges is a compelling case for fit over familiarity, foresight over reaction, and reinvention over complacency. Carolyn makes it clear that the best CEOs aren't simply great strategists—they're great at timing, sequencing, and knowing when to shift or step aside. She shares stories of leaders who planned their exits with grace and those who stayed too long—and why boards often get it wrong.If you're a CEO, board member, or senior leader shaping the next phase of your organization, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership longevity and legacy. You'll walk away with practical framing for making bold decisions and managing change—not just within your business, but within yourself.Actionable Takeaways• Hear how to recognize the brief “unfreezing moment” that gives new CEOs a rare chance to reshape direction, expectations, and ambition • Learn why even the most successful CEOs must reinvent themselves—or risk becoming the barrier to future growth • Discover why the best succession plans start in a CEO's first year, not their last • You'll learn how boards often default to “more of the same”—and why that mindset leads to costly misalignment • Explore Carolyn's take on what only the CEO can and should do—and how over-functioning CEOs damage execution • Hear how some leaders design in tension—reverse mentors, red teams, bold advisors—to avoid echo chambers • Learn how to approach succession planning not as a person to pick, but as work to define • Find out what CEOs should leave behind in their final year—and what mistakes lock in poor transitions • You'll hear examples of how great CEOs sustain performance through S-curves while preparing for what's next • Gain perspective on how Carolyn sees AI as a CEO's partner, not a proxy for real leadershipConnect with Carolyn Dewar:A CEO for All Seasons Carolyn Dewar LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

    Derek Dombeck is a seasoned real estate investor, national speaker, and international bestselling author who has navigated the ups and downs of real estate since 2003. Known for his expertise in creative deal structuring, private lending, and relationship-based investing, Derek has completed thousands of transactions while helping investors gain control over their financial futures. Today, he leads Generational Wealth, where he teaches others how to build lasting legacies through intentional business and personal vision.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Learn to operate without banks by mastering creative deal structures and private lending. Building relationships—not relying on institutions—provides flexibility and resilience in any market. Investors must prioritize communication and integrity to maintain trust with lenders and partners. Success is rooted in having a clear vision for life first, and building business strategies around that. Control and freedom come from understanding “why” you want wealth, not just “how” to achieve it.     Topics From Losing Everything to Creative Control Derek started in the early 2000s with bank financing but lost nearly everything in the 2008 crash. Learned to rebuild through creative financing and raising private capital instead of relying on institutions. Founded a private lending business averaging 20–25 loans per month, lending over $3 million monthly. Why Relationships Beat Banks Institutional lending is transactional—private lending is relational. Investors who communicate transparently with private lenders can work through tough times and maintain trust. Reputation and reliability are worth more than a few basis points in interest savings. Raising Private Capital Raised over $25 million by building genuine connections and paying investors before himself. Early mistake: not developing a network soon enough. Now teaches investors to focus on building long-term trust and a solid track record. Creating a Vision-Led Life Entrepreneurs often trade a 9-to-5 job for a “5-to-9” grind—without defining what they actually want. Derek emphasizes creating a written life vision first, then building a business to support it. The question isn't how much money you want, but why you want it—and how it supports the life you envision. Rethinking Goals and Ownership Many chase status symbols (like beach houses or luxury cars) without questioning their purpose. Derek explains how experiences can be enjoyed today without waiting decades—like renting a dream home instead of owning it. True wealth is freedom to live intentionally, not accumulation of “stuff.”

    795 - Can You Really Get Paid to Connect People? A Conversation with Kevin Thompson

    The Cliff Ravenscraft Show - Mindset Answer Man

    In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Thompson, a man who has built an extraordinary business around something most people only do out of kindness: connecting others. I've met plenty of people over the years who are natural connectors. They love introducing friends, clients, and peers to each other. Those introductions often lead to life-changing opportunities. But Kevin is the first person I've met who figured out how to turn that gift into a sustainable business model. Kevin's story begins with more than a decade in the publishing world, where he grew his company through over 600 strategic partnerships. Along the way, he discovered how much joy he found in helping people meet and collaborate. For years, he did it freely, simply because it felt good to serve. But one introduction in particular, connecting marketing legends Perry Marshall and Brian Kurtz, planted a powerful seed. That connection eventually led to a multimillion-dollar event, and when Kevin was publicly recognized for being the bridge that made it all possible, he began wondering: What if I could make a living just doing this? For a long time, he battled with the ethics of charging for introductions. Friends even told him it wasn't something that anyone should even consider. But in 2017, a single conversation changed everything. A friend suggested he host a small, in-person gathering of the entrepreneurs he knew. Kevin couldn't sleep that night. By 4:30 the next morning, he was making a list of everyone he wanted to invite. His enthusiasm was contagious. His wife offered to handle catering, and the first six entrepreneurs he spoke to said, “I'm in.” That August, Kevin hosted his first event at his home in Arlington, Washington, with 15 attendees who each paid $5,000 to be there. They spent time sharing openly, collaborating deeply, and forming meaningful relationships that continued long after the event ended. A month later, he hosted another group, and it filled just as quickly. What began as a simple idea soon became a thriving business. From there, Kevin developed an ongoing model, first through one-on-one connection work and later through group experiences that aligned more naturally with his gifts. Today, he helps entrepreneurs create five-, six-, and seven-figure business opportunities through authentic relationship-building, often earning revenue shares from the connections he facilitates. Throughout this conversation, Kevin and I explore not only how he did it, but the deeper mindset that made it possible, the excitement, confidence, and belief that magnetized people toward his vision. You'll hear how he overcame doubt, learned from missteps, refined his structure, and ultimately built a business that's as fulfilling as it is profitable. Insights Gained from This Episode The surprising way one powerful introduction can change the trajectory of your business and someone else's. Why enthusiasm, confidence and conviction often matter more than a polished business plan when sharing a new idea. How imposter syndrome keeps many people from seeing the true value they already bring to others. The mindset shift from “I shouldn't charge for this” to “People are happy to pay for the value I create.” The simple structure behind Kevin's first $5,000-per-person event and why intimacy and authenticity mattered more than luxury or production. How to test new business ideas through real conversations before locking yourself into a plan. What Kevin learned from early business models that didn't work, and how he redesigned them to fit his natural strengths. The importance of alignment: when the structure of your business supports the way you actually like to show up, everything flows easier. How relationships, built with integrity and generosity, can create long-term, recurring income. The power of turning what you naturally love to do into something that sustains your life, your purpose, and the people you serve.

    "I think just the nature of having a shelter that's supportive and animal control has really expedited this as a success…And I think that made a big difference in the city." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. Stacy LeBaron talks with Vanessa Forney, founder and president of Bay Area Cats, an organization in Sunnyvale, California focused on spay neuter for pets and trap neuter return. Since stumbling upon a kitten in her neighborhood in 2020, Vanessa has personally trapped over 2,500 cats and kittens, built an efficient volunteer trapping team, and formed a 501(c)(3) that has helped spay/neuter thousands of cats every year. In this episode, Vanessa shares how she quickly moved from rescue-reactive thinking to strategic targeted TNR, focusing her efforts on Sunnyvale and achieving remarkable results through mass trapping techniques and neighborhood-wide approaches. She discusses the importance of data collection, building collaborative relationships with animal control and open intake shelters, and how her organization achieved over 40% reduction in combined shelter intake and TNR program cats between 2022 and 2024. Vanessa also explains the typical timeline for seeing impact (including the initial uptick in requests during the first 12-18 months), the evolution of a TNR organization through different life stages, and why addressing pet spay/neuter is critical for long-term sustainability. Listeners will come away understanding that successful targeted TNR requires patience, collaboration, detailed record-keeping, and a multi-layered approach that addresses both community cats and owned pets. Vanessa's story demonstrates that even young organizations can make significant measurable impact when they focus their resources strategically, build strong community partnerships, and create volunteer networks that make the work sustainable rather than isolating.

    Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Coach Tony Weaver, author of Project Manage Your Life: Your Blueprint for Achieving Any Goal — One Step at a Time. After decades of leading complex IT, marketing, and transformation projects, Tony turned his project management skills inward and used them to lose over 100 pounds. That journey sparked a new mission: helping others apply the same proven methods to their own goals, whether it's health, finances, career, or just finally following through on something important. In this conversation, you'll hear how to turn vague intentions into measurable, motivating goals. Tony shares how to break down big ambitions into doable milestones, track your progress without becoming a slave to the data, and stay consistent with joy instead of burnout. He unpacks what SMART goals actually look like in the real world and explains why the project mindset can transform not just what you achieve, but how you feel while doing it. If you're looking for practical ideas to move forward on goals that matter to you, at work or at home, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Project management absolutely changed my life.” “Life is agile.” “Every goal is a project. Project management is just applying structure to that goal.” “Your brain doesn't care about your happiness. It cares about keeping you safe. That's why it resists change.” “Once you build confidence in yourself, the goal you set becomes just a jumping-off point.” “Setting a goal is an act of hope. It says that tomorrow can be better than today.” “Track what you can control. Influence is important, but control drives change.” “Focus on the things you control. Keep an eye on the results, but don't obsess about them.” “The safest place to be is in your comfort zone, not trying.” “Some numbers matter. Some are interesting. Some aren't even interesting.” “Letting a goal die of loneliness?

    Strength Training and Myokines: Unlocking Exercise as Medicine

    Strength Changes Everything

    Think strength training is just about building muscle? Think again. Your workouts activate myokines that positively influence nearly every organ in your body. In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the world of myokines--the powerful messengers released during exercise that can fight disease, sharpen your brain, and even slow aging. Expect to learn how strength training floods your body with health-boosting signals, why myokines are called “magic,” and ways strength protects both your lifespan and healthspan. Tune in to discover why muscle is the most underrated organ in your body—and how to tap into its hidden power. Dr. Fisher starts by describing why we need to think of muscle differently: It's not just tissue that moves your body, it's a chemical messenger system that sends positive signals all over the body.  Amy and Dr. Fisher cover why exercise is medicine. Each contraction releases myokines that calm inflammation, boost immunity, and even protect against cancer and neurological decline.  For decades, scientists knew muscles released “something,” but the name myokines wasn't coined until 2003. Now we know muscles are the largest endocrine organ in our bodies. Dr. Fisher explains the endocrine connection: Your muscles talk to organs the way your thyroid or pancreas does, constantly sending and receiving instructions.  According to Amy, you don't need six months of training before myokines start working. Just one resistance session floods your body with signals that improve energy, mood, and metabolism. How to fight belly fat naturally. According to Dr. Fisher, a myokine called interleukin-15 literally shrinks fat cells, making them store less. At the same time, it activates immune cells that protect you against tumors and infections. Amy compares myokines to magic. Science shows that training creates chemical changes that feel almost supernatural. The “magic” is your body healing itself from the inside out. Learn how exercise boosts your brain: Myokines like BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) act like fertilizer for your brain cells. They help you think sharper, learn faster, and protect against cognitive decline. Dr. Fisher explains why muscle growth isn't accidental. There's a molecule called myostatin that tries to limit your muscle growth. Resistance training shuts it down—so your muscles can grow instead of being held back. Amy explains the anti-aging effects of strength training.  Dr. Fisher highlights the consequences of aging without strength: Frailty, injuries, and dependence. Building strength is the single best insurance policy against that future. According to Amy, life is not about how long you live—it's about how long you can thrive. Myokines help you extend the years you can stay active, engaged, and vibrant. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss how every squat, push, or pull unlocks healing compounds you can't get from a pill.  Amy's parting thoughts: Your body is wired to reward strength, that's why each workout delivers an immediate chemical payoff that makes you feel good.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

    The future of banking isn't coming – it's already here. And yet, a staggering 46% of retail financial institutions admit they're either early in their digital transformation journey or still in planning stages. At the heart of this inertia lies a familiar bottleneck: legacy core systems. While over 90% of banks surveyed this year say digital transformation is either a “critical” or “high” priority, less than 10% believe their current core can fully support their goals. In this episode of Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Sandeep Lalwani, Head of UST FinX, and Barry O'Connell, Managing Director, Americas for Thought Machine. Together, we examine the real-world consequences of delayed modernization – from constrained innovation to a stunted customer experience – and explore how a modular, coexistence-based core transformation can flip the script. This is the first episode in a new series, "Building the Future-Ready Bank", sponsored by UST FinX.
