In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Dr. Andi Simon welcomes a remarkable young entrepreneur, Sana Ali, whose story is as surprising as it is inspiring. Just twelve years old, Sana has already built a reputation as a digital strategist helping coaches, consultants, and creators transform their online engagement into real business results. Her journey from Karachi, Pakistan, to an international podcast platform is a testament to curiosity, resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit. A Journey Sparked by Curiosity and Encouragement Sana's story began in 2023, when she was only ten years old. With encouragement from her mother, she shifted her time away from passive entertainment toward learning coding and building websites. Very quickly, she not only mastered skills far beyond her years but began to attract attention from adults—some twice or three times her age—who turned to her for guidance. This early success underscored a truth that continues to shape her path: ambition and focus are not limited by age. Her initial LinkedIn presence grew rapidly, amassing thousands of followers. But because she was underage, the platform eventually banned her account. Instead of giving up, Sana started again, this time with a clearer vision. Rather than focusing only on coding, she saw an opportunity to address a widespread challenge: many professionals were generating likes, comments, and followers on LinkedIn, yet struggling to convert that visibility into paying clients. Sana stepped into this gap with a simple but powerful insight—engagement is nice, but clients are better. Sana Ali is Building a New Model on LinkedIn With her fresh approach, Sana began optimizing LinkedIn funnels. She mapped out the journey from a cold prospect to a high-ticket client, showing coaches and consultants how to stop chasing vanity metrics and start building sustainable revenue. One of her earliest breakthroughs came when a skeptical prospect realized that, despite thousands of followers, they were making no money. Sana provided strategic adjustments and, to their surprise, turned the engagement into paying clients. That success story became the first of many case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of her methods. In conversation with Andi, Sana explained how the tactics of outreach have shifted over the years. Cold pitches and generic compliments that may have worked in 2015 no longer resonate in 2025. Instead, the new “currency” is trust. Building trust requires empathy, genuine compliments, thoughtful questions, and adding value without immediately pushing for a sale. For Sana, this approach is not theoretical—it is the lived experience of someone whose age initially raised doubts, yet whose results quickly silenced them. The Core of Her Success: Trust and Empathy Throughout the discussion, Sana emphasized that trust is the foundation of client relationships today. Prospects are savvy, often wary of sales pitches, and increasingly skeptical about whether they are interacting with a real human or an AI bot. Sana has mastered the art of demonstrating authenticity—through personalized conversations, empathy for her clients' situations, and valuable insights freely given before any sales conversation. One example she shared involved a client who joined a call while ill. Instead of pressing forward, Sana suggested rescheduling, showing genuine care for the individual. That small act of empathy built immediate trust, leading to a long-term client relationship. Stories like these highlight her maturity, compassion, and business acumen far beyond her years. Lessons for Entrepreneurs of All Ages The episode closes with reflections on Sana's journey and her advice for young entrepreneurs: age should never be seen as a limitation. Whether learning coding at ten or advising adults on LinkedIn strategy by twelve, she has proven that commitment and ambition can accelerate success at any stage of life. For her, the choice to spend time building a business rather than playing video games has opened doors to opportunities she once could not have imagined. For listeners of On the Brink, this episode is more than an inspiring story—it is a reminder of how quickly the business landscape is changing, and how younger generations are not just adapting but leading. Sana Ali embodies the entrepreneurial mindset: seeing opportunities, embracing change, and building trust in a world where trust itself has become the most valuable commodity.

With a background in finance and private equity, Divya attributes her entrepreneurial staying power to strong cash management and a focus on fundamentals. She shares lessons from building early ventures, from auto parts to culinary media, and how creating hyper-personalized shopping experiences led to her fastest success, selling Send the Trend just 11 months after raising funding. Time at QVC gave her valuable insights into product storytelling, ultimately inspiring her to launch beauty brand Wander Beauty, which became her third successful exit. Divya's exit advice is clear: get your house in order early (books, legal, taxes), know what you want from a deal, and hire strong operators so you can focus on the sale process. She emphasizes selling on the upswing when growth and profitability are aligned, creating competition among buyers, and avoiding short-term revenue plays that dilute brand value. Today, Divya shares her entrepreneurial lessons and AI insights via TikTok, continuing to inspire founders globally. -- Divya Gugnani is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and author with over 20 years of experience building and backing businesses. She is the Founding Partner of Concept to Co., investing in 80+ companies, and the Founder & CEO of 5 SENS, a fine fragrance brand. Previously, she co-founded Wander Beauty, later acquired by Nameless CPG, and Send the Trend, acquired by QVC. Divya began her career in finance at Goldman Sachs, Investcorp, and FirstMark Capital before becoming an “accidental entrepreneur.” Featured widely in top media outlets, she is also the author of Sexy Women Eat, and regularly mentors founders and lectures at leading universities. She holds a B.S. from Cornell, an MBA from Harvard, and trained at the French Culinary Institute.

I. Eliezer Yudkowsky's Machine Intelligence Research Institute is the original AI safety org. But the original isn't always the best - how is Mesopotamia doing these days? As money, brainpower, and prestige pour into the field, MIRI remains what it always was - a group of loosely-organized weird people, one of whom cannot be convinced to stop wearing a sparkly top hat in public. So when I was doing AI grantmaking last year, I asked them - why should I fund you instead of the guys with the army of bright-eyed Harvard grads, or the guys who just got Geoffrey Hinton as their celebrity spokesperson? What do you have that they don't? MIRI answered: moral clarity. Most people in AI safety (including me) are uncertain and confused and looking for least-bad incremental solutions. We think AI will probably be an exciting and transformative technology, but there's some chance, 5 or 15 or 30 percent, that it might turn against humanity in a catastrophic way. Or, if it doesn't, that there will be something less catastrophic but still bad - maybe humanity gradually fading into the background, the same way kings and nobles faded into the background during the modern era. This is scary, but AI is coming whether we like it or not, and probably there are also potential risks from delaying too hard. We're not sure exactly what to do, but for now we want to build a firm foundation for reacting to any future threat. That means keeping AI companies honest and transparent, helping responsible companies like Anthropic stay in the race, and investing in understanding AI goal structures and the ways that AIs interpret our commands. Then at some point in the future, we'll be close enough to the actually-scary AI that we can understand the threat model more clearly, get more popular buy-in, and decide what to do next. MIRI thinks this is pathetic - like trying to protect against an asteroid impact by wearing a hard hat. They're kind of cagey about their own probability of AI wiping out humanity, but it seems to be somewhere around 95 - 99%. They think plausibly-achievable gains in company responsibility, regulation quality, and AI scholarship are orders of magnitude too weak to seriously address the problem, and they don't expect enough of a “warning shot” that they feel comfortable kicking the can down the road until everything becomes clear and action is easy. They suggest banning all AI capabilities research immediately, to be restarted only in some distant future when the situation looks more promising. Both sides honestly believe their position and don't want to modulate their message for PR reasons. But both sides, coincidentally, think that their message is better PR. The incrementalists think a moderate, cautious approach keeps bridges open with academia, industry, government, and other actors that prefer normal clean-shaven interlocutors who don't emit spittle whenever they talk. MIRI thinks that the public is sick of focus-group-tested mealy-mouthed bullshit, but might be ready to rise up against AI if someone presented the case in a clear and unambivalent way. Now Yudkowsky and his co-author, MIRI president Nate Soares, have reached new heights of unambivalence with their new book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies (release date September 16, currently available for preorder). https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-if-anyone-builds-it-everyone

In this powerful episode of Embracing Enough, I sit down with my friend and fellow coach, Meredith Waters - a high-performance coach, strategic consultant, and founder of Thriving at Waters Edge. With nearly two decades of leading international development projects across more than 25 countries, Meredith brings a unique blend of global perspective, hard-won wisdom, and heart-centered leadership.Together, we dive deep into the concept of the fallow period - those seasons of life and career when ambition gets disrupted, whether by external shocks or internal misalignment. Meredith vulnerably shares her own journey through disruption, from missing her ROTC run time by 21 seconds to navigating a blood disorder, unexpected career pivots, and even being fired. Each disruption cracked the “armor of achievement” she had built - and taught her to embrace those cracks as places of growth, resilience, and ultimately becoming shatterproof.We also unpack the recent upheaval in the international development consulting industry and what it means to redefine productivity, reclaim joy, and give yourself permission to pause. Meredith introduces us to her “sandbox” approach - experimenting, playing, and replenishing in ways that help you realign your compass and rediscover what truly lights you up.This conversation is an invitation to rethink what ambition looks like when life doesn't go as planned, and to honor the sacredness of the pause. Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is stop, breathe, and allow ourselves to be reshaped.This episode is an invitation to rethink what ambition looks like when life doesn't go as planned, and to honor the sacredness of the pause.

Basketball is more than a favorite American pastime. It has expanded into a global cultural movement that combines sports, fashion, and lifestyle. Chinese players such as Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin drew attention to untapped basketball talent in Asia and helped bring basketball culture to China. The Asian University Basketball League (AUBL) taps into that energy through elevating Asian university-level basketball competition on the continent. The AUBL, drawing from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States for inspiration, seeks to capture and shape a uniquely Asian basketball fan culture. How is Asia a new frontier for one of America's biggest sports exports? AUBL CEO Jay Li joined us in August 2025 to share the future of university-level basketball in Asia and its potential to bridge people across countries.
On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty welcomes entrepreneur Jacob Fleming to share his journey from small-town Utah to building and selling multiple businesses. Jacob talks about growing up with entrepreneurial parents and knowing early on he wanted to chart his own path. Jacob shares how college gave him discipline, but the real lessons came from watching opportunities in staffing, logistics, and CDL driver recruiting.

In this episode of More Faith, More Life, Pastor Steve Gray and Kathy share their inspiring journey of starting a new church in a small town, emphasizing the importance of creating something unique rather than replicating what's already there. Over a 12-year period, they laid a strong foundation by focusing on personal character and fostering a congregation ready for a move of God. Spiritual preparation, both personal and collective, becomes the backbone of their story as they share anecdotes of transformation and commitment. Imagine a small country church resurrected from closure and transformed into a thriving community through faith and dedication. Pastor Steve draws parallels to John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus, showing how the church's revival journey was fueled by simplicity and an unwavering belief in nurturing both adults and children in their spiritual walks. The hosts recount pivotal moments, highlighting efforts in building a children's ministry that emphasized the presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of young believers, preparing them for leadership and spiritual battles ahead. The result? A vibrant congregation rooted in unity and faithfulness that serves as a beacon of hopeKey Takeaways:Fostering revival requires intentional preparation, encompassing commitment, and unity within a congregation.The children's ministry plays a crucial role in spiritual preparation, emphasizing that there is no "junior Holy Spirit" and nurturing a child's ability to experience God.The power of community and collective worship is essential in creating an environment where God's presence can manifest.Real commitment to God involves prioritizing faith and worship as central aspects of daily life, influencing the broader community and spiritual awakening.Transformation happens through continuous, dedicated teaching and the embodiment of faith principles, leading to a lasting legacy of spiritual growth.

In this episode, Sean Harvey, CRO at RocketRez, shares a practical framework for building coaching cultures that actually stick. He explains why trust, not tactics, is the starting point for real performance, and how coaching must move beyond pipeline reviews and into intentional skill development. From his early Oracle training to leading teams through hypergrowth and private equity scale-ups, Sean outlines the lessons that shaped his belief in coaching as both a performance lever and a retention strategy.If you're still coaching “on the fly” or stuck playing super-rep, this conversation will challenge your assumptions. Sean covers the link between psychological safety and rep engagement, how vulnerability-based trust unlocks real development, and why sustainable growth demands coaching at every level from C-suite to the frontlines. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of what coaching is, what it's not, and how to build a team that stays, grows, and performs.Key Takeaways1. Coaching must start at the top to stick long-termIf the C-suite doesn't model and prioritize coaching, it gets deprioritized the moment short-term pressure hits.2. Trust is the foundation of any real coaching cultureReps won't grow unless they believe their manager has their long-term development, not just this quarter's numbers, in mind.3. Vulnerability-based trust drives engagement and learning.Creating psychologically safe spaces where reps can fail and learn openly is what unlocks real skill development.4. Great managers coach people, not just deals.Coaching isn't about saving deals; it's about building reps who can consistently win without constant intervention.5. Consistency matters more than intensity.A lightweight but regular coaching rhythm beats sporadic “inspiration bursts” that vanish under pressure.6. You can't scale if you're only hiring more reps.Scalability means increasing productivity per rep, which only happens when you build coaching into the operating system.7. Coaching drives retention, especially in high-talent environmentsReps stay where they feel invested in, especially when they're being challenged to grow with structure and support.8. Managers are overwhelmed and under-equipped to coachMost FLMs were promoted as top reps but were never taught how to develop others; tools and frameworks help close this gap.9. The best leaders have coaching “trees”Just like in sports, great coaches produce other great coaches; mentoring others to lead is a force multiplier.10. Success is compounding when coaching becomes cultureWhen coaching becomes normalized, teams get better, faster, improving not just results, but predictability.

This week's interview is with Tim Hanley, a Milwaukee native & Titan 100 HOF whose career reads like a Hollywood script—until it didn't. From rising to partner at Arthur Andersen to navigating the collapse of the firm during the Enron scandal, Tim faced a leadership crucible that tested everything he believed about trust, transparency, and tenacity. But that wasn't the end. Years later, after retiring from Deloitte, Tim stepped into another storm—this time as interim dean at Marquette University just as COVID shut down the world. What he thought would be a one-year commitment turned into a 4½-year mission to guide a business school through unprecedented uncertainty.
Most health coaches think they need to quit their job cold turkey to build their practice. The truth? Your dream practice is built after hours.

It's not about massive leaps; it's about consistent action every evening (or morning).Keep your safety net. Build your foundation. Turn your side hours into your future freedom.Your coaching practice doesn't need to be a leap of faith—it can be a bridge you build brick by brick after hours. une into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 402 to discover exactly how the "5-9" builds your future coaching practice! - - - Listen or Watch At: IHP.Coach/402 - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org
Democracy is not just a concept; it is a practice. America's belief in its citizenry's right to self-expression, to dissent and to elect our political leaders is codified into constitutional amendments and federal laws. Those principles, which are fundamental to our national identity, have been severely tested by a history rooted in genocide, slavery and ongoing economic inequity. Now, we persevere, striving to create, through civic action, education, and the sanctity of our right to vote, a more perfect union. And, in a moment in which these rights are under assault by an authoritarian administration we must coalesce, flex our organizing muscles and use all available tools to preserve democracy. In this episode of Power Station, the invincible Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, breaks down how BISC positions grassroots coalitions to take on and win urgently important ballot initiative campaigns. It takes technical expertise, a command of organizing and a commitment to relationship-building among sometimes unlikely constituents to run and implement ballot campaigns calling for the right to bodily autonomy and to raising the minimum wage. Listen to Chris and I promise that that her story will resonate and inspire.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
When marriage feels tired or transactional, it's time to return to the Source. In this Sunday Recalibration, discover how identity alignment before God creates intimacy that lasts — even when life feels loud and connection feels distant.Most high-capacity couples didn't enter marriage hoping to become roommates. You wanted real connection. Enduring intimacy. A shared rhythm that felt as grounded as it was loving.But over time — especially in the weight of parenting, leadership, and the constant pressure to do more — that intimacy can erode. Not always dramatically. Sometimes, it's just a quiet drifting.And before you know it, you're managing logistics more than connection… showing up out of duty instead of desire.This Sunday Recalibration invites you to remember what marriage was meant to be — not a performance, but a sacred covenant. Not a contract of convenience, but a reflection of God's relational nature.Drawing on Ephesians 5, Genesis 2, the wisdom of Tim Keller and Dan Allender, and her own personal story, Julie Holly shares how vertical identity alignment is the only foundation strong enough to hold a marriage — especially in seasons of weariness, role fatigue, or emotional distance.Inside today's episode: • Why deeper intimacy starts with God, not with marriage work • How Identity-Level Recalibration supports both spiritual and relational repair • Why performance and control block presence — and how to return to truth • A 3-part Micro Recalibration to help you reconnect at the rootThis episode is for every couple craving restoration — and for the high performers quietly carrying relational fatigue behind closed doors. Whether you're faith-filled or simply curious, this is a space where sacred truth meets real-life application.Micro Recalibration:In what ways have I made marriage about performance or control — instead of covenant?Where do I need to return to God with my identity — so I can return to my spouse with grace?What would shift in our intimacy if I saw my spouse as a reflection of God's image — and myself the same?Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

We sense that the Lord is inviting our church into greater dependence and simplicity in this season. As we kick off this new series, we'll look to Psalm 127 as a call for our community to embrace humble dependence, partnership, and trust in His provision.
Today's Headlines: RFK Jr., still clinging to his shaky Health & Human Services title, melted down for three hours in front of the Senate yesterday over the CDC chaos and vaccine access. He accused the CDC director of lying about being fired, insisted he's not restricting vaccines (while restricting them), and somehow wandered into diabetes and Nobel Prizes for Trump. Massachusetts, meanwhile, became the first state to require insurers to cover vaccines regardless of federal policy. Jobs data isn't great: just 54,000 private-sector jobs added in August, layoffs up nearly 40%, and hiring plans at their lowest since 2009. The official BLS report lands today—Trump's first with his handpicked Heritage economist in charge. The Trump family's wealth ballooned by $5 billion this week thanks to their crypto empire—even as their shiny new WLFI token lost half its value. They also launched a bitcoin miner on Nasdaq and unveiled a $6.4B crypto treasury firm. Elsewhere, a federal court cleared the way for the Everglades-based “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, and Macron announced a 26-country “coalition of the willing” to back Ukraine postwar, with US support still fuzzy.
