In this episode, I sit down with Amy Purdy to talk about how she went from losing her legs at 19 and losing hope, to becoming a Paralympic medalist, bestselling author, and global speaker.Amy shares what actually helped her move from survival to purpose. Not motivational slogans, but the mindset shifts, habits, and mental tools that allowed her to rebuild her identity, regain belief in herself, and move forward when her old life was gone.We talk about how she turned her biggest obstacle into her biggest advantage, why acceptance is a turning point rather than a defeat, and how visualization helped retrain her brain to see possibility before there was evidence. Amy also breaks down practical ways to build resilience, take action even when you feel uncertain, and stop letting fear define what you think is possible.In this episode, you will learn how to:✅ Go from feeling stuck in loss or uncertainty to creating forward momentum✅ Use acceptance without giving up on your goals✅ Reframe adversity so it becomes fuel instead of a limitation✅ Build resilience through gratitude, creativity, and action✅ Train your mind to believe in new outcomes before you know how they will happenIf you are feeling overwhelmed by a setback, questioning who you are after a major change, or struggling to believe that something good can still come from what you are going through, this episode will help you shift your perspective and give you practical tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.This conversation is about what's possible when you stop trying to go back to who you were and start building who you can become.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How to overcome Decision Paralysis - assessing risk, limiting over analysis, and taking action are essential to moving a business forward. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/r423-overcoming-decision-paralysis/ Decision paralysis keeps entrepreneurs stuck, and learning how to assess risk, limit over analysis, and take action is essential to moving a business forward. Decision paralysis, often called analysis paralysis, can quietly stall a small business or prevent an entrepreneur from ever getting started. In this episode, Henry Lopez and guest co-host David Begin unpack why decision paralysis happens, how it shows up differently in big strategic decisions versus daily operational choices, and why small business owners are especially vulnerable to it. Drawing from real-world experience, Henry and David explain how fear, risk miscalculation, perfectionism, and decision fatigue all contribute to inaction. They explore the difference between intuition and expertise, referencing Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink, and discuss why relying solely on "gut instinct" can be dangerous for new entrepreneurs but powerful for experienced operators. The conversation also covers practical strategies to break through paralysis, including risk mitigation, breaking big decisions into smaller ones, setting go/no-go dates, and using a "pretend decision" technique to reduce pressure and clarify direction. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness, leadership responsibility, and building teams that can make decisions independently. As Henry puts it, "There are no guarantees in business, but there is a cost to not deciding." This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to make the next move in their business. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business. The How of Business is a top-rated podcast for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

One of the most common mistakes I see speakers make is trying to deliver a six-week course or a full-length book in a 45-minute talk.And then they wonder why: • the audience looks overwhelmed • the energy drops • no one remembers their message • leads don't convertHere's the mindset shift that changes everything: Same message. Different medium. Different strategy.When your message doesn't match the format, your talk can feel confusing, overwhelming, and forgettable — no matter how good your content is. But when your message fits the medium, your impact multiplies.In this episode, I share:The reasons you want to cram more content into your presentationsHow each format — lead generation presentation, keynote, workshop, course, coaching, and book — plays a distinct roleWhy books are uniquely powerful for depth, nuance, and authority (and how this ties into my upcoming author interviews)How to escape the expert trap and step into thought leadershipIf you're building talks, presentations, workshops, courses, or a book, this episode will completely change how you think about your content ecosystem.Ready to build a signature talk that gets you the results you want?

The appointment of Mike Riggs as Chief Product Officer at Empath signifies the company's transition from founder-led intuition to formalized product governance. According to Wes Spencer, Empath reached over 500 MSP customers and now requires more disciplined processes as it moves from early-stage, high-velocity development to operational maturity. Mike Riggs described his role as systematizing elements that were previously managed informally—covering areas from design to engineering—and explicitly stated the intent to strengthen operational accountability for both the platform and its customers.This structural change follows recognition by the founders that their limited technical background required complementary leadership to scale effectively. Advisors highlighted that, while growth and partner engagement met expectations, scaling Empath's platform now demands greater rigor and repeatable operational practices. Empath's platform has evolved from being a convenience service to an operational dependency, with MSPs using it for training, team accountability, and embedded workflows. Mike Riggs emphasized the importance of refining user experience, onboarding processes, and support mechanisms as MSP reliance grows.A central theme discussed is the shift in Empath's product category—from a basic learning management tool toward a broader learning, development, and accountability platform for MSPs. Features such as notification systems and visibility into required actions move the platform beyond content delivery into proactive management of personnel performance and compliance. This evolution brings Empath closer to intersecting with HR, policy, and managerial oversight, compelling the company to balance user engagement features with the need for reliable, auditable, and controlled change management.For MSPs and IT service providers, Empath's shift has operational implications and risk factors. Increasing dependency on a single platform heightens the significance of product stability, disciplined rollout of new features, and clarity of governance. As platforms like Empath become more embedded in day-to-day operations, service providers must reassess processes for vendor risk management, accountability, and internal policy alignment. The move described is not an indicator of problems but of maturation—a transition that typically introduces both new safeguards and greater operational complexity.

"Does your behavior match your stated objectives? If you claim you want to scale the business but you have no framework or capacity building plan in place, there's a disconnect." - Chris Papin. What if your business struggles aren't about working harder—but about whether your daily actions actually match what you say you want to achieve? In this conversation, Bradley sits down with Chris Papin, attorney and CPA, to explore the critical gap between stated objectives and actual behavior in business. Chris shares his framework for thinking about business decisions through three lenses: personal, community, and client impact. He unpacks why most business owners don't truly understand their financials (and why that's costing them), the business judgment rule that separates smart decisions from lucky ones, and why Tom Brady's success on offense came from his defensive genius. If you've ever felt out of alignment with your own goals or wondered why your numbers don't reflect your stated priorities, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on getting above your business. What Working Above the Business Means to Chris: "It's gonna shift during where I am in the life cycle of my business. But what it means to me is I go back to the original vision. I have kind of three components that are in my vision: There's a personal piece, there's a community piece, and then there's a client-side piece. The personal piece is the internal me, my team, the objectives there. The community is elevating others. Obviously we want to take care of our clients. If I focus on those three pieces and really recognize what's at stake and work my business to achieving those objectives, I'm above the business doing the right things I need to do as a business owner to steer people to those objectives. Fully knowing that I am also the licensed professional where I have to be in my business from time to time to do that too. I'm okay with that because that's what I signed up for, but that distinction matters because I do have to step out of my technician's role to get up into that entrepreneurial role." This episode of Above the Business is for business owners who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with clarity, intention, and alignment between what they say they want and what they actually do.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed is joined by Virginia Juliano, marketing and strategy consultant, and Marie Protomastro Patel of Girl on the Ball Solutions. Together, they reflect on a recent HAYVN Marketing Hub gathering and unpack the marketing shifts shaping how business owners and leaders should think about growth as we move into 2026. “Clarity is something that's never been out of style, but I think it's becoming even more important.” — Virginia Giuliano A central theme of the conversation is that marketing is no longer a separate function — we're all marketers now. From solopreneurs to established businesses, everyone is responsible for how their expertise, message, and value show up in the world. Key insights from the conversation include: AI is no longer optional — it's foundational.AI isn't a standalone tool or trend; it's woven into everything from strategy to content distribution to how people discover businesses. Like the early days of the internet, the shift is about integration, not resistance. Clarity is king — and always has been.No amount of clever tactics or polished content can compensate for a lack of clarity. Being clear on who you serve, what you do, and why it matters is the bedrock of effective marketing and strategy. Strategy must come before tactics.Business owners often get lost in execution — platforms, posts, tools — without anchoring decisions in strategy. Marketers add value by asking the hard questions that help cut through the clutter. Perfection is no longer the goal. Authenticity is.The pressure to constantly perform or produce flawless content is easing. Audiences are responding more to real, human moments than overly polished marketing. Showing up matters more than showing off. You don't need to be a content machine.Content stewardship is replacing content overload. Businesses should focus on what feels aligned, comfortable, and sustainable — and then use AI to repurpose and extend what already exists. Marketing is relationship building at its core.Whether through newsletters, speaking, podcasts, or in-person events, trust and connection drive long-term success. Community and human connection are becoming more valuable than noise and volume. AI amplifies good input — it doesn't replace thinking.AI can enhance strategy and execution, but only when the inputs are clear. Without clarity, goals, and intention, even the best tools fall flat. This conversation reinforces a powerful shift in modern marketing: less pressure, more alignment; fewer tactics, stronger strategy; and more humanity at every touchpoint. As AI becomes embedded in how we create and discover information, the business leaders who stand out will be the ones rooted in clarity, authenticity, and genuine relationships.  “Marketing works best when it feels sustainable, not performative.” —  Marie Protomastro Patel Marketing isn't about doing more — it's about doing what matters, consistently and in ways that feel true to who you are. Interested in implementing some of these marketing shifts into your marketing strategy? Give this custom ChatGPT a try. It's formulated from the recent 2026 Marketing Shifts presentation at HAYVN's Marketing Hub in January and this article based upon responses from marketers and creatives doing the work.  Also, want to know more about HAYVN's Hub for Marketing?

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

Nous enregistrons volontairement assez peu de personnalités politiques depuis le début du podcast.Mais ça pourrait changer d'ici un an, si l'envie nous en prend.Car Génération Do It Yourself a pour mission de piquer notre curiosité, de comprendre, de progresser.Alors nous avons décidé de faire un grand écart, un panorama, pour essayer de comprendre un peu mieux le monde polarisé dans lequel on vit.Après avoir reçu François Ruffin, réputé très à gauche, nous avons voulu échanger avec Sarah Knafo, généralement placée sur l'autre bord de l'échiquier.Deux extrêmes d'un spectre que nous pensons être parmi les plus intelligibles.Dans cet épisode, Sarah Knafo, députée européenne Reconquête et candidate à la mairie de Paris pour 2026, défend sa vision démocratique de la France.Nous abordons tous les sujets qui fâchent : dépenses publiques, bureaucratie, immigration, sécurité, souveraineté.Ancienne magistrate à la Cour des comptes, Sarah a passé deux années à analyser les dépenses de l'État.Elle nous explique pourquoi la France n'a pas un problème de recettes et détaille son plan pour économiser 80 milliards d'euros.Nous évoquons également :⁠ ⁠L'État profond à la française et comment le contournerComment se préparer à l'exercice du pouvoir⁠Sa volonté de faire de Paris un laboratoire démocratique pour la France et le reste du monde⁠Des exemples étrangers et ce qu'ils font de bien⁠Sa vision sur l'immigration et pourquoi “accueillir n'est pas humaniste”Un épisode politique sans filtre où Sarah assume ses positions tout en expliquant pourquoi elles relèvent selon elle du simple bon sens.Vous pouvez contacter Sarah sur Linkedin et Instagram.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Être radicalement démocratique ?00:13:18 : L'État profond à la française00:24:42 : Préparer son arrivé au pouvoir pour dépolitiser l'État de droit00:31:16 : Gouverner ensemble par référendum00:39:24 : Le naufrage financier de Paris00:53:33 : Pourquoi cette fois serait différente des autres ?00:59:18 : Les Français ne doivent plus payer pour les erreurs des politiques01:12:10 : La goutte d'eau d'un pouvoir déconnecté01:21:28 : Est-ce que la France peut devenir rentable ?01:31:27 : Il n'existe pas de gratuité pour un service public01:42:40 : L'école doit former l'esprit critique, pas blanchir des idées01:52:24 : Accueillir n'est pas humaniste ?02:07:49 : Quels différences entre Reconquête et Rassemblement National ?02:23:51 : Trump, Milei, Meloni, peut-on s'inspirer des autres pays ?02:31:52 : La quatrième vexation pour l'homme, l'intelligence n'est plus le propre de l'hommeLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #515 - Pierre de Villiers - Ancien Chef d'État-major des Armées - “Nous ne sommes pas prêts pour la guerre”#512 - François Ruffin - Député - En finir avec l'État perfusion#507 - Laurent Alexandre - Vers la fin des études supérieures ?#401 - Emmanuel Macron - Président de la République - Les décisions les plus lourdes se prennent seul#389 - Nicolas Colin — The Family — Le détournement de fonds qui traumatise la tech françaiseNous avons parlé de :L'histoire de la privatisation de TF1Le mouvement des Gilets JaunesLe documentaire “Au boulot !” avec François RuffinDocumentaire Arte sur la politique carcérale du SalvadorLes recommandations de lecture :Le mal français, d'Alain PeyrefitteUn Occident kidnappé, de Milan KunderaUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : SquareSpace : squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (réduction en cours avec le code MSTEFANI)Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

The episode centers on practical approaches for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT leaders assessing artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, with David Espindola detailing the crucial distinction between “maker,” “shaper,” and “taker” strategies. David Espindola emphasizes that organizations must intentionally decide their role in AI development and use—whether building proprietary systems, shaping solutions atop existing models, or simply consuming pre-built capabilities. This decision, he notes, is foundational for aligning risk tolerance, investment, and technical capacity with business goals, especially given the rapid pace and inherent uncertainty in AI's evolution.Supporting this framework, David Espindola references insights from a Small Business Administration project, which found that most small businesses are struggling to define applicable use cases for AI and tend toward risk-avoidant stances despite external pressures to adopt the technology. He stresses that AI implementation should not be a solution in search of a problem; rather, an organization's readiness, risk, investment capability, and specific industry context must determine its approach. Key recommendations include conducting readiness assessments, appointing internal AI champions, and starting with small, low-risk pilot projects to build internal understanding and governance processes before scaling.The discussion broadens to ethical and governance considerations, with both David Espindola and the host cautioning that responsible AI adoption is a business necessity rather than a compliance checkbox. They advocate for formal employee training, the establishment of clear usage policies, and strict controls over tool access to mitigate risks such as data leakage, hallucinated outputs, and misaligned communications. The emphasis is on building practical safeguards rather than pursuing AI for its own sake, reflecting a pragmatic, risk-managed approach tailored to each organization's context.For MSPs and IT service providers, the practical takeaways are clear: pursuing AI adoption requires a methodical, risk-aware strategy focused on business relevance, operational governance, and targeted experimentation. The harms of rushed deployments, poor change management, or lack of internal education are underscored, with the implication that long-term value and reduced exposure are found in deliberate, well-governed adoption efforts. Readiness assessments, pilot programs, and robust policy frameworks emerge as the primary enablers of sustainable outcomes in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Welcome to episode #1021 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when strategy is often confused with forecasting and certainty is mistaken for rigor, the work of Roger Martininsists on a more demanding discipline: making clear, integrated choices under uncertainty. Named the world's #1 management thinker by Thinkers50 in 2017, Roger is a writer, strategy advisor, and the former Dean at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, where he served for fifteen years and reshaped how management education engages with real-world complexity. Over decades, he has advised CEOs at companies including Procter & Gamble, Lego, Ford, American Express, Verizon, and Steelcase, helping leaders move beyond abstract ambition toward actionable, coherent strategies. His thinking has long been a personal touchstone for navigating difficult, high-stakes business problems, and he remains my go-to guide when confronting complexity that resists easy answers… a familiarity reinforced by his return here after previous appearances. Before academia, he spent thirteen years at Monitor, serving as co-head of the firm and grounding his thinking in the realities of corporate decision-making. His newly updated book, Playing To Win, Expanded With Bonus HBR Articles - How Strategy Really Works co-authored with A.G. Lafley, remains one of the most influential strategy texts of the modern era, distilling strategy into a set of five integrated choices about where to play and how to win, supported by capabilities and systems that reinforce those decisions. Across thirteen books and more than thirty Harvard Business Review articles, Roger has explored integrative thinking, democratic capitalism, governance and the design of business itself, consistently challenging leaders to resist false tradeoffs and simplistic answers. His work confronts contemporary issues head-on: the misuse of AI as an answer machine rather than a thinking partner, the hollowing out of education into ideological extremes, the erosion of institutional trust and the persistent illusion that the future must resemble the past. Through it all, his argument is steady and clear: strategy fundamentals endure, and superior managerial effectiveness begins with disciplined thinking, principled choice, and the courage to commit. If you're not following his free Substack, you reall should. It's always an honor to spend tie with Roger. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 58:39. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

On this episode of Possible, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing who gets to build software and what that means for work, creativity, and human agency. Masad traces his journey from growing up in Jordan teaching himself to code and connects it to his love of video games which helped inspire him to build a platform that turns natural language into working software. The conversation spans everything from why gaming mindsets make better builders, to how CEOs are rediscovering hands-on creation, to why “vibe coding” is the next form of literacy and why computational thinking is more important than syntax mastery. The conversation also digs into the future of AI agents, long-running autonomous workflows, and what it means to design environments for machines rather than humans. They also confront harder questions about jobs, fear, regulation, and society's responsibility during a cognitive industrial revolution. The episode ultimately reframes AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a force that can return people to a more entrepreneurial, expressive, and meaningful way of life.
