Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We have made it to Friday, the day to get motivated and inspired, but motivation is fleeting—discipline and consistency are what will actually set you free. All week long, we have faced the hard truth that the weight you carry on purpose is the legacy you leave behind. A comfortable man who avoids every burden, shuns duty, and chooses ease builds absolutely nothing worth his name, living a life that leaves no mark. In this Friday recap, we are taking everything we learned—from the Legacy Code to daily execution—and putting it into immediate, massive action with a 7-day challenge to win the week. I am challenging you to take full responsibility with no blame and no excuses, keep one commitment that is costing you, choose the hard road once a day on purpose, and share the weight you picked up with someone close to you. Every night, I want you to reflect on what you built that will outlive this week. Your responsibility becomes your rank, your suffering becomes your strength, and your commitment becomes your legacy. A man who bears what others won't leaves what others can't. Let's get our houses organized, protect our ecosystems, and get ready to kick some ass spiritually, physically, and financially!

Send us Fan MailFollow Elana on Instagram @elanavdeventerSome stories are not for scrolling past. This one belongs to Elana van Deventer.She had a serious brain injury at four years old. She had to learn to walk again and speak again. She forgot the whole thing until her sister reminded her years later, but her mind never forgot the beliefs it built around it.School labeled her learning disabled. In grade eight her math teacher told her she was stupid and would get nowhere. She says the hardest part was not the insult. It was that he only said out loud what she already believed.So she found her worth somewhere else. In South Africa she became the pretty one. Photo shoots, invitations, and finally a modeling contract. She thought she had made it.Then her family immigrated to a tiny town in Northwest Ontario, and the first winter hit minus fifty.No events. No photo shoots. No identity. She fell into a deep depression and became suicidal, and she blamed her husband for taking everything from her.Then COVID made the world go quiet.She calls that season the soil. There was nothing left to strive for, so God took her all the way down to the root and started over. Out of that she built her own work, the Revive Method, around identity alignment. The picture she used before she knew anything about the science was a tree.There is a line in this episode worth writing down. There is a difference between the journey and the decision. The journey being hard does not mean the decision was wrong.The turn comes later. She got an email from Dr. Caroline Leaf's office and deleted it. When the second one came announcing the first round of neurocycle facilitator training, she applied with her eyes closed and hit send scared. She was accepted.She had never read one of Leaf's books. Today the girl who was told she was stupid at math sits in the room helping build Leaf's new strategist offer.She also talks about why sixty three days changed her life when twenty one never did, and why knowledge without mind renewal stays knowledge forever.Find Elana on Instagram at elanavdeventer.This is The Calling Table Sessions on the Stuck No More Voices Podcast.

The conversation focused on the rebranding of the WP Community Collective to the WP Open Community Collective (WPOCC) to avoid trademark conflicts and better reflect its broader open source focus. We chat about the current holding pattern in the WordPress community amid ongoing legal and industry uncertainty. We also explore the results of the recent State of the Community survey, highlighting both demographic insights and persistent community concerns. Sé raised points, including the need for unity, support for global contributors, and maintaining WordPress as a meaningful, empowering platform in a rapidly changing tech landscape.
I'm a little obsessed with Widow's Bay. It's a horror-comedy series on Apple TV set on a fictional island off the coast of Massachusetts. The island isn't as famous as Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket -- for good reason. Widow's Bay is cursed by a demonic entity. The show is nominated for 19 Emmy Awards, including Best Comedy, and I talked with their Emmy nominated production designer, Steve Arnold. We discuss the careful worldbuilding needed to blend horror and comedy, real and fake history, and subtle references to Jaws, The Fog, Halloween, The Shining, Carrie, and other works by Stephen King. We also look at why some of the props on the show became viral hits, like a set of creepy fake board games. We also have an update on our 2022 episode "Monsters in the Static: Why Gen Z Is Afraid of Analog Horror." I talk with digital folklore expert Diane A. Rodgers about why the web series Backrooms became a blockbuster film that resonated with younger fans this summer.

When Nehemiah, heard of the return of the exiles and the current state of his homeland, he wept. King Artaxerxes noticed a sadness in Nehemiah and asked him what was troubling him. When it was revealed that Nehemiah wanted to go and help his people, the King gave him leave and sent a team of workers with him. Yet the project was not without opposition, Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, and the Ammonites all did their best to demoralize the people.

In this episode of Wealth on the Beach Club, Daniel talks about the growing impact of AI on business and how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can be used in different areas of your work. The conversation then shifts to rebuilding a business, changing your mindset, setting measurable goals, and understanding your business through numbers. Daniel also explains why simply posting other people's quotes and content isn't enough. To build influence, you need to become the person your audience follows, recognizes, and trusts. He shares how consistent social media content has helped generate real business and recruiting opportunities, and why showing up every day can make social media a powerful part of your business strategy

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Spiritual Gifts.” Millie Stalling and Dr. Eric Redmond joined us today. Millie Stalling, the Administrative Services & Events Manager with the Stewardship & Development team at Moody Bible Institute, shared how God has used her gift of faith through prayer and encouragement. Then Dr. Eric Redmond, the Executive Director of Moody’s Theological Seminary Center for Compelling Biblical Preaching, unpacked how spiritual gifts can be discovered through serving, affirmed by others, and used together for the growth of the church. We then turn to our listeners who took the assessment and ask, “How have you benefited from someone else’s spiritual gift?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

We review Adam Aizer's FFT Open fantasy football league through the first 12 rounds, breaking down the best draft builds, worst picks and biggest mistakes, including why Adam took Jordan Mason (12:40) 80th overall, and why he likes Jordyn Tyson (15:30) and Zach Charbonnet as late-round picks. We get into the latest injuries from around the league including, Malik Nabers, TreVeyon Henderson, Breece Hall, and More (24:00) before diving into Fill in the Blank questions (35:00), including where Chris Godwin will finish among WRs, the most frustrating fantasy player, whether Drake London is overrated, the Steelers backfield and more. We discuss Jalen Hurts' (45:30) expectations, Caleb Williams at (46:50), three players to leave your draft with at (47:05), and who will lead the NFL in QB rushing yards at (48:10).

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new research showing how severe early childhood stress can leave lasting biological effects while also emphasizing that those effects do not have to determine a child's future. They discuss the difference between healthy stress that builds resilience and traumatic stress that overwhelms, as well as the importance of presence, patience, compassion, and safe relationships in helping children heal. Parents will be encouraged to look beneath behavior and remember that consistent, loving adults can play a powerful role in rebuilding security and hope.
What if the story you've been hiding is actually your greatest asset? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Elizabeth Brett — former NBC television reporter turned storytelling authority and creator of Story Alchemy™ — to explore how owning your story can transform your confidence, your connections, and your entire next chapter. Elizabeth shares the near-death experience in the ocean that rewrote the course of her life, why women have been the story keepers for thousands of years, and how to uncover the “Million Dollar Story” hiding in your most ordinary moments. You'll also learn her Sovereignty Filter for knowing which stories are ready to share, and the question that started it all: who were you before the world told you who to be? If you've ever thought your story isn't “special enough,” consider this conversation your permission slip to start telling it.What You'll Learn• Why your personal story — even the messy parts — is your greatest asset for connection and authority• How to find your “Million Dollar Story” in the small, ordinary moments of your life• The Sovereignty Filter: how to know when a story is ready (and in integrity) to share• Why storytelling is in women's DNA — and how to reclaim your voice as a natural storyteller• How stories work on the brain — people remember stories about 60% more than facts
In this episode of The Localist, Carrie Rollwagen sits down with Malissa Davis, the founder of Best You Ever, a Birmingham-based personal styling and image consulting firm. Malissa spent nearly 10 years at Nordstrom before launching her own business, and now works with clients in Birmingham and virtually across the United States. Fun fact: Malissa is also the mom of Taylor Davis, the showrunner for The Localist. If you've ever seen Taylor on camera and thought she looked great, that is Malissa's work. Malissa opens with how she starts every client relationship: tell me your story. She talks about why building trust in a dressing room feels a little like being an unlicensed therapist, and what she learned in a decade at Nordstrom that shaped how she works today. She walks through her closet cleanout process (take out anything that does not fit, including the clothes you keep to shame yourself into losing weight), her style assessment quiz, and why her four-hour shopping cap is really about respecting your capacity. The second half is about the business side of things. Malissa gets into why she specializes in curves and tall women, why tailoring is worth the extra $15 every time, how she styles for speaking events and camera, and the SOS package for special occasions. She also shares one of her favorite client stories: styling a Biggest Loser finalist for the show finale. If you are trying to build a personal brand, style yourself for a speaking event, or just tired of your closet saying no to you every morning, this episode is a warm, practical guide.

On a Friday, one of Miro's architects set his agents loose on the company's AI engine. Nobody asked him to. By Monday, he demoed a full refactor. Tuesday, it had a kickoff, and a few months later it was the headline of their user conference. Here's the twist. Miro has refused to rebuild its process around AI. They've kept the same three milestones they've always had...they just changed what happens around them. Our guest today is Jeff Chow, Miro's Chief Product & Technology Officer. He helps lead a company whose entire job is helping cross-functional teams work better together, which makes it an unusually good place to watch what AI is actually doing to how teams build. Jeff's take: AI hasn't moved the milestones — It's rewritten everything that happens between them. In this episode, he shares: The false confidence trap of building alongside an agent that tells you every idea is brilliant, and why that makes the moments where humans actually align more important than ever Why product "process barnacles" accrete on companies as they scale, and how that quietly turns a culture of invention to optimization at just the wrong time And why saying no is the next organizational crisis. Now that anyone can build almost anything, it's become clear that coding was never the hard part Links Jeff's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjchow/ Miro: https://miro.com/ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 2:20 Why Miro refused to rebuild its process around AI 5:20 What shows up at kickoffs and solutions reviews now 12:15 The false confidence trap: Say no to "yes-man" agents 14:30 From optimization culture to invention culture 18:20 How one IC's side project reshaped Miro's AI engine 22:30 Process barnacles and why saying no is the next crisis 27:30 Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

Suffering will expose a man's limits, confront his pride, and force him to decide who he will become. If he brings his pain to God, hardship can forge stronger character, deeper faith, greater endurance, and a more powerful dependence on the Holy Spirit.
Paul Bonnett joins Hard Parking for a deep dive into real grassroots drifting. The 33-year-old runs a 2007 Nissan 350Z at tracks like Thompson Speedway and Riverside in New Hampshire. He walks through his path from dirt bikes and a serious back injury into stunt riding, the disaster first BMW E46, and why the 350Z plus a simple drift sim finally clicked. You'll hear what drifting actually feels like, how he practices chase proximity, the smartest way to start if you're brand new, and where he wants to take it next.Late news: Nevada approved full robotaxi permits — Tesla up to 5,000 vehicles and Waymo up to 1,000 in the Las Vegas area.Follow Paul on Instagram: @popuppolly617Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Nevada Robotaxi News02:45 – Meet Paul Bonnett04:00 – Dirt Bikes, Back Injury & Path to Drifting06:00 – BMW E46 Disaster07:30 – 350Z + Drift Sim09:00 – What Drifting Feels Like12:00 – Chase Practice & Sim Training16:00 – How to Get Started20:00 – Tracks & Two-Year Goals25:00 – What He'd Change + ClosingContact Email: info@hardparking.comWebsite: www.hardparking.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/hardparkingpodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardparkingpod/YouTube: youtube.com/@HardParkingTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hard.parking.jhaeMain Show Sponsors:Right Honda: https://righthonda.com/Right Toyota: https://www.righttoyota.com/Arcus Foundry: https://arcusfoundry.comAutocannon Official Gear: https://shop.autocannon.com/The Warehouse AZ: https://thewarehouseaz.com/
You've taken the quizzes. You've saved 400 pins. You still don't know what your home is supposed to look like — and it's not because you lack taste. In this episode, I'm naming the real reason you feel stuck in your home (hint: it's not motivation, and it's not you). We're breaking down the three things quietly sabotaging every decision you try to make — decision fatigue from endless online options, the lingering fear from a past decorating mistake, and generic advice that was never built for your actual life. Then I'm teaching you the distinction that changes everything: aesthetic vs. design style. Design style labels — farmhouse, coastal, transitional — are generic categories assigned by big box stores and algorithms. They tell you what to buy. Your aesthetic is different: it's personal, specific, and it accounts for how you actually live. Once you know the difference, you stop shopping for a label and start designing for your life. In this episode: Why "more options" online is making home decor decisions harder, not easier The hidden cost of a past decorating mistake (and why it's silently running your choices) Why design style quizzes give you a category, not a plan The real difference between aesthetic and design style — and how to start identifying yours Why the right filter makes decisions easier, not because you have more information, but because you finally know what to say no to If you've ever stood in a half-decorated room wondering where to even start, this episode will show you why — and what actually needs to shift. Next week: what it actually looks like on the other side of stuck. ✨✨THE COZY HOME WORKSHOP ✨✨ 3 Steps to Creating a Home you Can't Wait to Come Home To September 9 - 11th 9:00am PST | 10:00am MST | 11:00am CST | 12:00pm EST Register for The Cozy Home Workshop // Other Important Links : // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: https://figandfarmathome.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group

Mike, Beau, and Grant discuss how the Braves should manage Grant Holmes starts moving forward, if the top three arms in the Braves bullpen right now are Didier Fuentes, Dylan Lee, and Raisel Iglesias until Robert Suarez comes back, why Grant thinks Braves Manager Walt Weiss elected to not put Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim in the lineup yesterday even though it was a good opportunity to get him in the lineup, if Grant thinks there's a situation right now where the Braves front office are making Braves Manager Walt Weiss keep shortstop Ha-Seong Kim because they gave him $20 million dollars this offseason and Walt is rebutting by not playing him, tonight's premier pitching matchup between Braves pitcher Chris Sale and Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, and if yesterday's performance at the plate by Braves third baseman Austin Riley is the start of him getting hot offensively.

The conversation focused on Livid, a newly launched video hosting platform positioned as a strong alternative to Vimeo, especially for users facing steep price increases following Vimeo's acquisition by Bending Spoons. A key theme that emerged was Livid's streamlined migration tools, including a free exporter and a robust WordPress plugin, making it easy to transfer and replace Vimeo content. The discussion explored customisable player options, flexible privacy controls, showcases for grouping content, and competitive bandwidth and storage pricing. Assurance of stable backing and infrastructure rounded out the deep dive into Livid's value for the WordPress and wider web community.
If you're building a business where actual humans pay you to work with them, there's a part of it almost nobody is talking about — and it's the part that determines whether people buy from you, stay with you, and tell other people about you. And it's not your marketing – it's the experience.In this episode I'm joined by my friend Natalie Madrigal, founder of Perfect Your CX, who spent more than a decade in customer success and community across tech — including Meta and Google for Education — before building a business helping expert-led businesses turn the customers and community they already have into their biggest source of growth, revenue and referrals. (She's also on the panel at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! this October, and I could not wait to have this conversation with her!)In this juicy episode Natalie and I cover a lot of ground! We get into why the experience someone has with you starts long before they ever pay you a dime, and what it means to deliver on the promise your brand is making. We talk about the trust recession — where it came from, what the boom of the last few years did to people's willingness to invest, and how much of that comes down to people buying things and then being completely abandoned. And one of the things we are both obsessed with is how the customer experience has been flattened into "systems and automations" in the online space, and why that's backwards — because this is actually one of the best places in your whole business to let your personality and your judgment show. We break down the difference between being salesy and making someone feel special (which is something I coach on constantly!) And we geek out on retention as a revenue strategy, which almost nobody in this industry talks about.In this episode you'll hear:Where the customer experience actually begins — and why it's much earlier than most people thinkWhy "customer experience" is not the same thing as systems and automations, and what gets lost when you treat them as interchangeableWhat the trust recession is, where it came from, and what it means for anyone selling human-centered work right nowThe difference between being pushy and making someone feel seen — and why following up is not the same as being salesyWhy retention might be the most overlooked revenue strategy in this entire industryWhat to actually automate, what to keep your own eyes on, and how to tell the differenceThe small, unglamorous things you can start doing right now, whether you have three clients or three thousandNatalie is a sponsor and will be at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! for both days this October, as well as on the panel — The Human Edge: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of AI.

Today's Promise: Psalm 9:10 The more you know the Lord, the more you trust Him. Today's promise reminds us that those who know God's name put their trust in Him because He has never forsaken those who seek Him. But knowing God is more than knowing facts about Him. God invites you into a personal relationship with Him, one where you learn to recognize His voice, experience His presence, and discover His faithfulness in every season of life. As you walk with Him, you begin to see how He has been with you through every battle, struggle, and difficulty. When difficult times come again, you can trust that He will be there. In today's episode, we will look at what it means to truly know God and how knowing Him changes the way you trust Him. The more you know the Lord, the more you discover that He is faithful, trustworthy, and always with you.
Many people believe building wealth means optimizing every dollar. The reality is that not every financial decision deserves your time and energy. In this episode of The Budgetdog Breakdown, I answer real listener questions about moving for a lower cost of living, planning for final expenses, managing inherited investments, credit card rewards, and deciding whether crypto belongs in your portfolio. We discuss why money shouldn't dictate your life, how to think about the value behind inherited assets, why chasing credit card points can be a distraction, and how the mindset behind an investment can matter more than the investment itself. Money isn't just about math. It's about where you choose to focus your time, energy, and attention. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why wealthy people rely on systems 00:18 Should you move for a higher savings rate? 02:34 Planning for final expenses 03:42 What to do with inherited stocks 05:08 The truth about credit card points 08:28 Are you missing out on crypto? 10:10 Final thoughts Key Takeaways • Don't let money dictate every major life decision • Financial planning can create flexibility without uprooting your life • Inherited assets should be evaluated based on their value, not just their history • Credit card rewards aren't worth it if they encourage unnecessary spending • Your time and earning power are valuable financial assets • Long-term investing beats chasing quick returns • The mindset behind an investment matters Quotables "Wealthy people aren't wealthy because they win every day. They use systems that make losing hard." "Don't let your money dictate your life." "Your time on this earth is limited, and your energy is finite." "You're not missing anything. You're being smart." The goal isn't to win every financial game. It's to spend your time and money on the things that actually move you forward.
What if the reason you're not making more money isn't because you need another business, degree, or hustle—but because you haven't learned how to communicate your value at scale?Julien Gordon has helped generate more than $20 million through webinars, including over $10 million through a single webinar he ran for years. Now, he says AI has helped transform a process that once took roughly 40 hours into one that can produce a webinar script and slides in under an hour.In this episode of Inside the Vault, Ash Cash sits down with Julien to break down the psychology, strategy, faith, and technology behind turning expertise into income.Jullien explains why entrepreneurs need to stop “posting and praying,” why likes and comments don't necessarily translate into customers, and how webinars can create a one-to-many sales experience that builds trust while helping potential clients experience your expertise.He also breaks down his 40/30/20/10 webinar framework, the importance of resetting beliefs before teaching, why your offer should be created before your slides, and how psychological triggers like proof, reciprocity, FOMO, scarcity, identity, and pre-framing influence buying decisions.Using his AI-powered Webinar Wealth Builder, Jullien takes Ash's Book Rich concept and creates the positioning, audience profile, framework, webinar copy, script, and a 79-slide presentation in minutes.Jullien also shares client examples, including one he says generated $934,000 in six months, another who generated more than $200,000 in five days, and a real estate developer who added roughly $250,000 in webinar revenue on the side.Your knowledge can be somebody else's solution. The question is whether you're willing to stop hiding it.Learn more from Jullien:WebinarWealth.com/VaultInstagram: @julliengordonHost:@iamashcash@insidethevaultAbundance is your birthright.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant lifeJoin the Abundance Community:TheAbundanceCommunity.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Money, digital real estate & “posting and praying”02:11 – Welcome to Inside the Vault03:40 – Meet Jullien Gordon04:30 – Who is Jullien Gordon?05:11 – Physical vs. digital real estate07:18 – Why your solution needs to be discovered08:17 – Why “posting and praying” isn't enough09:12 – Introverts, visibility & sharing your gift10:59 – Stop dimming your light11:43 – “Nobody actually wants money”12:14 – Why serving others can create wealth13:11 – How AI changed webinar creation13:55 – Webinars used to take 40 hours14:53 – Building a webinar in under an hour15:22 – Jullien's $20M Slidology framework16:02 – The webinar that generated $10M+16:32 – What is a webinar really?17:20 – Building know, like & trust18:01 – The 4 beliefs required for a sale19:14 – Why most webinars don't work20:31 – The 40/30/20/10 webinar formula21:33 – “Proof is truth”22:46 – Give people a quick win23:35 – Why webinars need show AND tell24:10 – The Costco sample strategy25:20 – Your offer should feel like a gift26:06 – LIVE: Building Ash's webinar with AI27:06 – AI creates the Book Rich positioning27:54 – Creating the webinar title & offer28:40 – AI analyzes Ash's ideal audience30:36 – Building the framework in seconds31:18 – Generating an 80+ page script32:05 – 79 slides created in about 3 minutes33:19 – AI begins designing the presentation34:50 – If you can run Zoom, you can run a webinar36:16 – The danger of DIY36:59 – Why webinars build trust faster37:47 – One-to-many selling for introverts38:15 – One-to-one vs. one-to-many39:28 – FOMO and buying psychology39:48 – Jullien's 94 psychological triggers40:11 – Real scarcity vs. fake scarcity40:49 – Steve Jobs and pre-framing41:50 – How framing changes value41:58 – Start with the offer first44:41 – The belief reset entrepreneurs need45:18 – Grandma's chicken vs. Colonel Sanders46:37 – What businesses can use webinars?47:30 – How realtors can use webinars48:46 – Why QVC is essentially a webinar50:33 – “Likes and comments do not pay the bills”50:55 – Social media vs. webinars51:18 – 10 buyers vs. 1,000 likes51:35 – Psychology that makes people buy52:28 – Client generated $934K in six months52:47 – $200K+ generated in five days53:05 – Turning expertise into an extra $250K53:43 – Steve Jobs' iPhone strategy55:10 – Creating predictable webinar revenue55:42 – Overcoming fear of failure55:49 – “Experiments don't fail”57:47 – Try the Webinar Wealth Builder58:14 – “You are the PowerPoint”59:10 – Jullien's definition of sales59:19 – “Sales is getting someone to accept help”1:00:05 – WebinarWealth.com/Vault1:00:40 – Connect with Jullien Gordon1:00:48 – Building without relying on Instagram1:01:26 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy. Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to Language Access and Patient Experience 01:39 – Erin's Role in Guest Relations at Main Line Health 02:06 – Where Language Access Shows Up Most for Patients 03:05 – Why Communication Is the Foundation of Quality Care 04:42 – Closing the Gap Between Policy and Frontline Reality 05:38 – What Good Language Access Looks Like on the Floor 07:09 – How Providers Use Interpreter Services Under Pressure 08:30 – Building Adoption Across Clinical Teams 09:35 – Feedback That Shaped a Better Program 11:04 – Adapting Language Access to Rising Patient Volumes 12:00 – Connecting Language Access to Referrals and Revenue 13:07 – A Story of Language Access Saving a Life 16:40 – The Link Between Language Barriers and Preventive Care 18:09 – Small Changes with Outsized Impact 19:17 – Where Communication Breakdowns Still Happen 20:51 – Advice for Healthcare Leaders 21:49 – The Next Five Years of Language Access Meet Erin Dougherty Cieszynski Erin Dougherty Cieszynski works across the full continuum of care to help patients navigate the healthcare system, understand their treatment, and feel confident their voices are being heard. Known for her empathy and ability to bridge the gap between clinical teams and the patients they serve, Erin has led efforts at Main Line Health to expand interpreter access, streamline technology adoption among clinicians, and connect language access directly to patient safety and satisfaction outcomes.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule is a 20-year contract vehicle, and a business with no past performance can still get on it by subcontracting first to build a track record as a prime. Colin Nchako breaks down how to sub under an established schedule holder, convert that experience into your own prime awards, and then add new SIN numbers later through a modification instead of at the onset. What you'll learn in this episode: Why you must be a prime, not a sub of a sub, to hold a GSA Schedule, and the partnership path that gets you there with no past performance How to add SIN numbers to your schedule through a modification, and why it is far easier than adding them when you first apply The way a first prime contract, like a Department of Health training video job, unlocks a new SIN number the moment the first invoice lands Why loading more SIN codes onto your schedule floods your inbox with more solicitations you can actually bid How two schedule holders can partner, group matching SIN numbers, and subcontract each other to build past performance together Chapters: 0:00 - GSA Schedule partnership path for no past performance 1:20 - Subbing under a prime to earn prime eligibility 2:34 - Five pending solicitations and shrinking response windows 3:43 - Why more SIN numbers mean more opportunities 4:22 - Adding a video production SIN through a live contract 5:44 - Using a Department of Health job to file the mod 6:56 - Adding SIN numbers by mod versus at the onset 8:56 - How partners subcontract each other to build performance Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Andrew Sabatine of Around the Horn (Groveland, CA) may have learned much of his trade at breweries on the hazier and more fruit-driven side of the brewing equation, but serving a small mountain town with a huge tourist population means making all the beers that people might want to enjoy. Lagers play an ever-growing role in that product mix, but Sabatine doesn't fully throw out the rulebook when crafting hop-driven lager, preferring to add Noble hops through hot side additions while pushing more pungent aromatic hops in the dry hop, even in more modern hop-driven styles like West Coast Pils. In this episode, Sabatine discusses his approach to West Coast Pils and West Coast IPA, along with experimental projects like West Coast Red Pilsner. Along the way, he discusses: finding ways to build character despite only being capable of single infusion mashes blending pils malts to tweak lager body first wort hopping with larger volumes of lower IBU Noble hops for more integrated bitterness cementing modern pils styles like West Coast and New Zealand pils with Noble hops hot side brewing West Coast Red Pilsner with Columbus cryo first wort, Hallertau Mittlefruh hot side, and New Zealand hops on the cold side fermenting colder to control ester production in West Coast IPA And more.

Berkeley Yeast At the World Beer Cup this year: Gold for West Coast IPA; Gold for Session IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for New Zealand IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for Classic IPA. All these beers were fermented with one yeast: FRESH™ Chico, Berkeley's low-diacetyl ale yeast. There's something you need to know: Diacetyl is not just a pass or a fail. Yes, at high levels, it's tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low. These brewers trust Berkeley Yeast for an ultra-clean fermentation because on the finals table, every little detail matters. And now FRESH™ Chico is available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com. PakTech This episode is sponsored by PakTech—delivering craft-beer multipacking you can trust.

To kick off our 40th anniversary celebration, we're celebrating some of our most iconic strains, highlighting the history and impact that each has had on craft brewing.

I've stood there too. After all these years of coaching women who went on to build real wealth, the thing that surprised me was never the size of their accounts. It was how much they all thought the same way, like someone handed them a tiny list of money rules and forgot to give everyone else a copy. In Part 1 of this two-part series on money mindset and building wealth, I walk you through all seven of those rules, and most of them don't cost a thing. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why building wealth starts with identity, not income, and how "builders" think differently before the evidence ever agrees with them The difference between money defense (saving, budgeting) and money offense (negotiating, investing, owning the asset), and why you were only taught half the game The better questions to ask when you're weighing a cost, so you're doing the math on a longer clock than fear knows how to read Why the women who build wealth think in decades, plant "pecan trees," and don't quit in the anxious short term How to buy freedom before comfort, and why the right afternoon back is worth more than the fancier version of what you already own Why the women you sit with become the women you become, and how to find rooms that stretch you toward your calling The one question to carry into your next "affordability moment" this week Timestamps: (00:00) — The woman whose "irresponsible" decision turns out to be genius (00:25) — The kitchen counter and the "maybe next year" moment (01:21) — What women who build real wealth all have in common (01:48) — The seven secret rules of money (02:08) — Rule 1: Wealth starts with identity, not income (03:34) — Rule 2: Learn offense, not just defense (05:08) — Rule 3: Ask better questions (06:16) — Rule 4: Think in decades (07:33) — Rule 5: Buy freedom before comfort (09:14) — Rule 6: Invest in rooms that stretch you (11:35) — Rule 7: Build a life, not just a bank account (12:28) — This week's practice: your "affordability moment" (13:52) — Book recommendation: The Psychology of Money (15:42) — Where your steadiness actually comes from Links to great things we discussed: Alli's Book Recommendation - The Psychology of Money Function Health - Use code AWORTHINGTON10 for a discount on comprehensive lab testing Wise Woman Method on Substack Take the Secret Superpower Quiz Join the Uplift Community Follow Alli on Instagram Don't forget to watch Alli Worthington on YouTube!

The problem with marketing is that so many teams think their job ends when a lead becomes an opportunity. The highest-performing GTM teams know that's where the REAL work begins.In this episode, Amber sits down with Aviv Canaani, CRO at Datarails, to unpack how the company transformed from a 90% outbound sales motion into a scalable revenue engine powered primarily by inbound demand.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Christina Dukes Brown. CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. The discussion centers on the organization's mission to support underserved youth through education, mentorship, entrepreneurship, life skills development, athletics, and community engagement. Dr. Brown also shares her vision for empowering young people and calls on businesses, volunteers, and community leaders to help create opportunities for the next generation. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the needs of children and families in Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. Showcase the impact of the Boys & Girls Club's programs. Encourage volunteers, mentors, business owners, and corporations to get involved. Promote youth entrepreneurship and leadership development. Demonstrate how communities can work together to improve outcomes for young people. Key Takeaways 1. The Boys & Girls Club Is a Lifeline for Many Families The organization serves more than 1,400 children and teens daily through after-school programs, summer camps, tutoring, athletics, arts, and mentoring. Many of the families served face challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, and educational barriers. Impact: Academic support and homework assistance. Nutritious meals and safe environments. Positive recreational and leadership opportunities. Family and community support services. 2. Education Requires Community Support Dr. Brown explained that schools alone cannot provide everything children need to succeed. The Boys & Girls Club helps fill those gaps through smaller group settings, individualized attention, and additional academic resources. Programs Include: Homework support (Power Hour) Tutoring Character development Leadership training Creative arts and athletics College and career preparation 3. Entrepreneurship Is a Major Focus One of the Club's signature initiatives is Girls with Goals, a 10-week entrepreneurship program designed to help young women develop business skills. Participants: Learn from successful women entrepreneurs. Create business plans. Develop pitching skills. Present their ideas in a Shark Tank-style competition. The program aims to build confidence, leadership abilities, and financial literacy while inspiring future business owners. 4. Mentorship Is Critical A central message throughout the interview is the importance of mentorship. Dr. Brown emphasized that young people benefit from seeing successful individuals who share similar backgrounds and experiences. She encouraged professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to volunteer their time and expertise. Why Mentorship Matters: Provides real-world guidance. Builds confidence. Expands career awareness. Helps break cycles of poverty. Creates positive role models. 5. Challenging Negative Stereotypes Dr. Brown spoke passionately about overcoming what she called "deficit ideology," the belief that young people from marginalized communities lack the ability to succeed. Her message was clear: Talent exists everywhere. Success is not determined by zip code. Every child has strengths that deserve recognition. Soft skills are just as important as academic achievements. She stressed the importance of helping young people recognize their own value and potential. 6. Preparing Youth for Adulthood The organization serves youth from ages 5 to 25, including young adults who are still exploring career options. For older participants, the Club focuses on: Professional development Workplace readiness Internships Career exploration Leadership opportunities Dr. Brown also discussed expanding partnerships with local businesses to expose young adults to skilled trades and vocational careers. 7. Community Involvement Is the Solution Both Dr. Brown and Rushion McDonald repeatedly stressed that real change happens when communities become actively involved. The interview served as a call to action for: Volunteers Business owners Corporations Churches Mentors Community organizations The message: everyone has something valuable to contribute to the success of young people. Notable Quotes On Community Responsibility "I can't complain about the position of Black and Brown people in society if I'm not going to do the work necessary to support its elevation." On Motivation "It's hard to get to sleep at night because you're constantly thinking about what's next and what you must do. But I am motivated to jump out of bed every morning to come and support these communities." On Potential and Success "No matter where you come from and no matter what you look like, no matter what skin you show up in, you have the capacity to become great." On Building Confidence "We have to help affirm those skills just like the others, so that young people can be confident in who they are." On Mentorship "One of the best motivating factors for most young people is being able to look into the eyes of a person who looks like them, who has a similar background." On Entrepreneurship "Many of our teenage female club members wanted to start their own businesses." On Community Access "We want to make ourselves available to the community as often as the community has a need." Executive Summary Dr. Christina Dukes Brown's appearance on Money Making Conversations Masterclass was a powerful call for community-driven youth empowerment. She highlighted the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic's efforts to address educational challenges, develop future leaders and entrepreneurs, provide mentorship, and create pathways to long-term success.
