In this conversation, I sit down with Steve Kamb to explore what it really means to keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan. We talk about why success in business development, leadership, fitness, and creative work often has less to do with having the perfect strategy and more to do with developing the ability to adjust, learn, and make another attempt. Steve shares lessons from stand-up comedy, golf, entrepreneurship, and his own experiences building businesses and writing his latest book, How to Try Again, offering a practical framework for navigating setbacks without getting stuck in them. A major theme throughout our conversation is the tension between outcome-focused thinking and process-focused action. We discuss Steve's PACT framework, the role of self-compassion after disappointment, why experimentation lowers the stakes of trying something new, and how high performers recover from setbacks more quickly by learning rather than dwelling. Whether you're pursuing new clients, launching a project, building relationships, or simply trying to make progress in an uncertain situation, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on resilience, adaptation, and the long game of meaningful growth.   Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why comedians, entrepreneurs, and business developers all rely on repetition more than perfection How the concept of "pre-accepting any outcome" can reduce anxiety and improve performance The difference between persistence and continuing to push in the wrong direction What Steve's PACT framework teaches about responding to setbacks constructively Why treating challenges as experiments can make change feel more approachable How curiosity can be more useful than self-criticism when evaluating past failures What separates people who recover quickly from disappointment from those who stay stuck Why genuine generosity and relationship-building often outperform transactional networking approaches If you've ever found yourself wondering what to do after a missed opportunity, a failed initiative, or a result that didn't match your expectations, I think you'll find this conversation both practical and encouraging.

Steel is one of the most important drivers of ship recycling values, but recycling offers are not based on steel prices alone. In the first episode of Steel, Ships, and Recycling Values, Nayeem Noor, VP - Business Development and Communications at GMS, speaks with Jamie Dalzell, Head of the GMS Singapore Office, about how recyclers assess steel markets when pricing vessels for recycling. The discussion looks at why plate prices matter, how re-rollable steel is valued, and why local demand, financing, currency, inventories, import pressure, and timing risk all influence the final recycling offer. The episode also explains why strong steel prices do not always lead to more vessels being sold for recycling. Freight markets, trading opportunities, seasonal timing, and owner strategy all play an important role in deciding whether a ship actually comes to market. For shipowners, brokers, financiers, traders, and maritime professionals, this episode offers a practical look at how recycling values are formed and why steel remains central to the global ship recycling market. Stay tuned to GMS Podcasts for more episodes of Inside the Markets covering ship recycling trends, trading flows and maritime market intelligence from key recycling and shipping hubs worldwide. Subscribe to the GMS Podcasts and follow GMS on LinkedIn for future updates and discussions.

The California energy market has historically been defined by extreme contradictions: a regulatory push toward a renewable energy stack on one side, and total dependence on neighboring regions for physical natural gas molecules on the other. While a “perfect storm” early this spring pushed spot prices to historic lows across the state, a looming wall of structural shifts — from cross-border LNG exports to massive data center buildouts — is forcing traders to prepare for a future of unprecedented upside volatility. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI's Christopher Lenton sits down with veteran energy trader and NGI's Senior Vice President of Business Development & Client Support David Dutch to break down the complex web of infrastructure keeping California powered. The conversation untangles how three distinct supply basins — West Texas, the Rockies and Western Canada — simultaneously flushed the West with cheap natural gas, and why a hyper-reliance on regional hydro and renewables leaves the state acutely vulnerable to massive basis spikes. Dutch also pulls back the curtain on Mexico's Energía Costa Azul LNG export plant, explaining why a reversed pipeline flow below San Diego could soon send Southern California prices to the moon on peak demand days.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Lauren Weaver is the Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Sally Dark Rides. Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Lauren grew up immersed in the attractions industry through her family's business and early exposure to IAAPA expos and theme parks around the world. After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in international affairs, she spent time working at Adventure Landing to gain operational experience before joining Sally Dark Rides and helping lead the company's marketing and promotional efforts. In this interview, Lauren talks about the impact of dark rides, reciprocal marketing, and growing up in the industry. The impact of dark rides “One of the best things about a dark ride is that it truly gives you a memory that you walk away with and that you hold onto.” Lauren explains that dark rides create a unique emotional connection for guests because they allow families to experience attractions together rather than splitting up due to height restrictions or thrill intensity. She shares how dark rides can become defining attractions for parks, helping create traditions that span generations. Unlike many attractions that cater to specific audiences, dark rides provide a shared storytelling experience where parents and children can enjoy the same adventure side by side. She also discusses how strong themed storytelling extends beyond the attraction itself. Using examples like Phantom Theater at Kings Island and Cupfusion at Hersheypark, Lauren highlights how dark ride characters and stories can influence food and beverage, merchandise, and other attractions throughout a park. She emphasizes that a successful dark ride delivers both short-term excitement and long-term return on investment through nostalgia, repeat visitation, and multi-generational appeal. Reciprocal marketing “If they're making our product look good, and I'm helping them make our product look good, we both shine.” Lauren shares how marketing a dark ride differs from promoting visible attractions like roller coasters. Since guests cannot immediately see what is inside the attraction building, the marketing must focus on story, mystery, characters, and anticipation. She describes how Sally Dark Rides collaborated with Kings Island to build excitement around Phantom Theater by teasing mysterious developments and releasing behind-the-scenes content that generated strong engagement on social media. She also explains the reciprocal nature of attraction marketing between manufacturers and parks. When a park promotes a new attraction, it elevates the visibility of the supplier that created it. At the same time, Sally Dark Rides actively supports its clients through content creation, trade show exposure, and production updates that help parks market their new attractions more effectively. Lauren notes that this partnership-driven approach allows both companies to benefit from each other's visibility and credibility within the industry. Growing up in the industry “As soon as you get a taste of this wonderful and incredibly fun attractions industry, you get addicted.” Lauren reflects on growing up around the attractions business and attending IAAPA expos from a young age with her father, Sally Dark Rides co-founder John Wood. She recalls how overwhelming and exciting the trade shows felt as a child, constantly meeting new people and learning about innovative attractions. Rather than simply observing, she was encouraged to actively participate by speaking with attendees and helping represent the company on the trade show floor. That early exposure helped shape her passion for the industry and ultimately influenced her career path. Lauren also credits her time working at Adventure Landing for giving her valuable operational perspective, from handling birthday parties to managing large group events and learning how multiple departments work together to create a seamless guest experience. She believes those experiences strengthened her understanding of what parks truly need from their attraction partners and helped prepare her for her current leadership role at Sally Dark Rides.   Lauren can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as on Facebook.

Solar & storage pioneers Solar Design Associates share 50 years of firsts on the Clean Power Hour. They put solar on the White House in 1979 and built the first community solar garden in America. Haskell Werlin and Steven Strong trace solar's fall from $16 to $1 per watt, explain why the battery cost curve is following the same path, and break down what the ITC-free era means for developers.Solar and storage pioneers Solar Design Associates have been designing solar energy systems since 1974, accumulating firsts from the Carter-era White House installation to the first true community solar garden in the United States. Haskell Werlin, Vice President of Business Development, and Steven Strong, Founder and President, join Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to trace 50 years of solar industry evolution. Solar pricing fell from $16 per watt for satellites to $1 per watt for ground mounts today, and Haskell confirms the battery cost curve is now following the same downward path, with Texas leading the country in solar and battery installations. This episode covers landmark projects, including the Bullit Center in Seattle and the Harvard community solar garden, alongside a direct assessment of what the residential ITC removal means for project economics through 2028 and beyond.Here is what you will learn from this conversation about 50 years of solar storage pioneers and the battery transition ahead:You will learn why Haskell argues Texas, not Hawaii, is now leading the country in solar and battery installations after transforming the ERCOT grid from fossil fuel dependency to firm base load power.Find out how the first true community solar garden in the US, a 542-kilowatt ground mount in Harvard, Massachusetts required a statewide home rule petition to resolve a property tax classification dispute with the local assessor.Understand how the Bullit Center in Seattle, described by the New York Times Architectural Review as the “Most sustainable commercial building in America,” achieved 100% energy offset in one of the least sunny major cities in the US.Find out how Solar Design Associates put solar on the White House under President Carter in 1979, with Steven Strong on the roof for the dedication ceremony, and were called back under President George W. Bush in 2006 to install solar on the pool and cabana, spanning two administrations and three decades. Find out how Solar Design Associates has never exceeded 20 employees in 50 years, why hiring graduates with no prior solar experience is a deliberate strategy, and what Haskell says about the companies growing fast and falling hard.Fifty years ago solar panels powered satellites because nothing else could reach them, and the technology now costs $1 per watt for ground mounts, a cost collapse driven by German feed-in tariffs, and Chinese manufacturing scale. The battery industry is now following the same path solar took from satellite technology to mass market infrastructure, with the same forces of policy, manufacturing scale, and early adopter projects already in motion. Professionals watching this episode are standing at the same inflection point the solar pioneers of 1974 stood at, with the advantage of knowing exactly how this story ends.Connect Steven Strong, Haskell Werlin Haskell Werlin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haskell-werlin-1a21383/Steven Strong: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-strong-3309894/Solar Design Associates: https://solardesign.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

The $50B Rural Health Question In this session, Scott Cook, VP of Business Development at Infinx, unpacks what the Rural Health Transformation Program may mean in practice. The conversation will explore what the funding is designed to accomplish, why each state's approach matters, and how rural healthcare organizations should think about sustainability once the five-year funding period ends. The session will also look at the operational burden behind transformation funding. Rural health teams may be asked to apply for, justify, track, and operationalize funding while already managing workforce shortages, payer pressure, technology gaps, and limited administrative capacity. Scott will help frame the practical questions rural providers should be asking now: What can this funding realistically support? What happens when it goes away? And how can organizations use this moment to strengthen revenue cycle, access, and care delivery instead of simply chasing short-term dollars?

Share valuable materials you received at the conference, such as presentations and whitepapers; 5. Capture the conference "vibes;" 6. Write a compelling thematic headline; and 7.

Học có phải bước lùi của sự phát triển?Năm 2010, có một thí nghiệm cực kỳ kinh điển tên là Marshmallow Challenge.Luật chơi đơn giản: cho bạn 20 que mì Ý, một cuộn dây, một cuộn băng keo, một cục marshmallow. 18 phút. Ai xây cái tháp nào đứng được, đỡ được cục marshmallow trên đỉnh, cao nhất, thắng.Tom Wujec, diễn giả TED Talk nổi tiếng, đã cho hàng ngàn người chơi: kỹ sư, kiến trúc sư, MBA, CEO, luật sư, và mấy bé mẫu giáo. Đố bạn, ai chiến thắng?Không phải những người có bằng MBA. Không phải luật sư. Hai nhóm đó là nhóm kết quả thấp nhất.  Người thắng - gây sốc cả hội trường - là mấy đứa nhỏ mẫu giáo. Mấy đứa nhỏ xây tháp cao hơn cả CEO, cao hơn luật sư, những người, (tạm gọi) là học ở bậc cao hơn.Tại sao?Vì người lớn có quy trình. Có công thức. Có "kinh nghiệm." Dân MBA dành phần lớn thời gian ngồi bàn ai sẽ là leader, vẽ kế hoạch, phân vai, thảo luận cấu trúc. Rồi 17 phút sau mới đặt cục marshmallow lên đỉnh. Sập. Hết giờ. Còn mấy đứa nhỏ thì không có công thức nào hết. Tụi nó không tranh nhau làm leader. Tụi nó bắt đầu chơi luôn. Đặt marshmallow lên trước, xây nhỏ, sập, xây lại, sập tiếp, xây lại nữa. Tới phút 18, tháp tụi nó đứng vững, vì đã được test sập rất nhiều lần rồi. Trong ngôn ngữ khởi nghiệp, tụi nhỏ đang làm điều mà MBA mất 2 năm để học: test MVP liên tục.Người lớn không thua vì kém thông minh. Người lớn thua vì có quá nhiều công thức thành công trong đầu. Công thức đó từng đúng trong một bối cảnh nào đó, một thị trường nào đó, một thời điểm nào đó. Rồi họ tưởng nó đúng mãi mãi.Tui làm kinh doanh đủ lâu để nhận ra một sự thật hú hồn:"Thứ giêt chế.t một người thành công, chính là công thức thành công của họ."Nokia có làm gì sai đâu. Họ chỉ làm đúng cái họ đã giỏi. Hết.Cá nhân tui thấy, lúc mà bản thân vỗ ngực: lúc mình nói được câu "tao có quy trình rồi, làm vậy là chắc ăn" đó cũng là lúc nguy hiểm nhất. Vì quy trình là con dao hai lưỡi. Nó cho mình tốc độ nhưng nó cũng vẽ sẵn lối mòn để mình không thấy đường nào khác.Bạn có nhận ra công thức thành công cũ của mình đang biến thành cái bẫy chưa?Tập mới Cà Phê Khởi Nghiệp cùng Tùng BT nằm trong một series hoàn toàn mới mang tên "Lãnh đạo tuổi 20", với chủ đề "Học - Bước lùi của sự phát triển" cùng Tiểu My, một bạn 22 tuổi nhưng có hơn 5 năm kinh nghiệm trong lĩnh vực khởi nghiệp, từng nhận học bổng Fulbright rồi dừng giữa chừng, hiện đang là Business Development của một tổ chức về giáo dục. Tụi tui nói về marshmallow, về lối mòn của người thành công, về sự học và về cách thoát ra khỏi cái bẫy do chính mình tạo ra. Xem ngay dưới bình luận.Coi xong thử ngẫm lại: công thức thành công nào của bạn đang bắt đầu thành cái bẫy rồi mà bạn chưa dám thừa nhận? Và nếu bạn thích series này, cho tui một comment, một tương tác phản hồi để tui có thêm xí động lực làm nhiều nội dung hay hơn, "Khởi nghiệp real Kết quả thật" nữa nhaa

In this episode, Alex Quin and Michelle Chia return to the podcast after a brief hiatus to share personal and professional updates, discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, and break down the healthy habits that help them sustain long workdays without burning out. From sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management to setting boundaries, journaling, and personal growth, they offer practical insights for entrepreneurs looking to build successful businesses while protecting their health and well-being.Episode Outline:[00:00] Welcome Back and Life Updates[02:15] Agency Growth, New Clients, and New Books[04:20] Why We Chose Healthy Habits for Entrepreneurs[08:05] Sleep, Recovery, and Long-Term Performance[10:12] Taking Breaks, Walking, and Staying Active[12:25] Time Blocking and Productivity Systems[14:15] Setting Boundaries With Clients[16:05] Learning to Say No[17:35] WHOOP, Oura Ring, and Health Tracking[19:05] Michelle's Cortisol and Stress Story[21:40] Nutrition, Hydration, and Managing Stress[23:10] The Tarzan "Swinging Vines" Concept[25:05] Becoming Your 2.0 Self[26:40] Journaling, Books, and Personal Growth[27:50] Habits We're Trying to Change[28:40] Final Thoughts and Closing RemarksWisdom Nuggets:Sleep Is a Competitive Advantage: Entrepreneurs often treat sleep like a luxury instead of a necessity. Alex and Michelle remind us that better decisions, sharper focus, and sustainable growth all start with proper recovery. The goal isn't to work more hours—it's to make your hours more effective.Protect Your Energy: Being available 24/7 may feel like great customer service, but constant accessibility creates burnout. Setting healthy boundaries with clients, coworkers, and even family members allows you to show up at your best when it matters most.Track Your Health Like Your Business: Most entrepreneurs obsess over revenue, sales, and analytics while ignoring their own health metrics. Monitoring stress levels, sleep quality, blood work, and recovery can help identify issues early and improve long-term performance.Let Go to Level Up: Growth often requires releasing habits, relationships, or routines that no longer serve your future. Like Tarzan swinging from one vine to the next, you have to let go of the old before you can fully grab onto new opportunities.Become Your Next Version: Success isn't about staying the same person and hoping for different results. The habits, mindset, and behaviors that got you here may not be enough to get you where you want to go next. Continuous self-improvement is a requirement, not an option.Power Quotes"Your heart rhythm is a very important thing that people don't even pay attention to." - Alex Quin"It's okay to say no and it's okay to put yourself first." - Michelle ChiaConnect with Michelle:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/michellechia)Linkedin: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-chia1/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Books Mentioned:Atomic Habits — James ClearThe Road Less Stupid — Keith J.

With hundreds of vendors touting unique value propositions and comprehensive solutions, the selection process becomes overwhelming. Security teams, often stretched thin, lack the bandwidth to assess multiple platforms at once. As a result, CISOs must make strategic choices and conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) on a carefully chosen solution. On the other hand, there is apprehension about replacing an embedded, established technology with a new product. Nachshon Pincu hosts Yigal Gueta, Founder & CEO, and Dor Tuchman, VP of Engineering & Business Development at SCADASudo, in a comprehensive discussion on evaluating cyber technologies from a consultant's perspective. The conversation highlights the importance of thoroughly understanding client needs before engaging with vendors and stresses the necessity of aligning solutions with business requirements—rather than adapting cyber needs to fit a specific product.  The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Nachshon Pincu, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb ConnectGuests: Jon Stewart, CEO and Tom Brown, Head of Business Development and Commercial Strategy, Binding SolutionsThe steel industry accounts for roughly 8% of global emissions and has made some of the loudest net zero commitments in heavy industry. But talk to the mills privately and most will tell you they are not on track. The dominant solutions, hydrogen, carbon capture, EAF transition, are either years away, eye-wateringly expensive, or both. Meanwhile, there's a supply chain vulnerability that almost nobody is talking about publicly: pellets. Every major decarb pathway for steel needs them. Producing them at scale costs a billion dollars and most of Europe buys from a handful of suppliers with almost no leverage. Today we're talking to the team at BSL about whether the industry is solving the wrong problems first, and what a lower-cost, modular alternative on something as fundamental as pellets can do for price and targets.Find out why the gap between published net zero roadmaps and what steel mills actually believe is achievable this decade is wider than most people assume. Explore why agglomeration, the pellet-making step, may offer more near-term commercial leverage than hydrogen or CCS, despite attracting a fraction of the policy attention and capital. Learn how a billion-dollar plant cost becomes a structural barrier that shapes who controls the global pellet supply chain, and why European mills are more exposed than they publicly acknowledge. Hear how a technology that works across both blast furnace and DRI pathways makes its case in an industry where most capital decisions are implicitly picking a winner. Find out about Binding Solutions strategic and financial investors as well as their path forward- and where value sits in deep-tech industrial business like this one. Links: ·       Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect·       Connect with Jon Stewart, CEO·       Learn more about Tom Brown, Head of Commercial Strategy·       Check out a video about the team ‘s work with British Steel·       Read a paper by one of BSL's scientists and a British Steel expert  ·        Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

Get the latest updates from our LinkedIn page! https://onelink.to/treesandlines Welcome back to another episode of the Trees & Lines podcast. Liz Westberg, Business Development at Growth Solutions, joins us to discuss how tree growth regulators are helping utilities reduce long-term vegetation management costs by slowing regrowth and extending pruning cycles. Liz breaks down the science behind paclobutrazol, explaining how it works at the cellular level by reducing gibberellic acid production and redirecting tree energy in ways that also improve drought tolerance, root development, and overall tree health. She walks through the business case for TGRs, including cost savings of 20 to 70% depending on access conditions, and explains why timing treatments close to pruning events is critical to getting the best results out of any program.The conversation also covers species considerations across deciduous trees, conifers, and monocots, why implementation scope and target selection matter more than most utilities realize, and how Growth Solutions manages landowner communication and opt-out programs in the field. Liz shares why less than 20% of utilities currently use TGRs despite decades of availability, what it takes to build the internal business case for adoption, and why the foresters who have implemented these programs rarely want to give them up once they start seeing results.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 161: AI Is Coming Fast — What Family Businesses Should Do Now with Jack Potvin   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker is joined by AI product builder Jack Potvin for a fast-moving, practical conversation about artificial intelligence and what privately held and family businesses need to do — right now — to stay competitive. Jack built his AI foundation working on one of the world's first computer vision models for sports before the rise of large language models, and now dedicates his work to helping independent businesses harness this technology before the window closes. Chris and Jack make the case for why family businesses — historically outperformers — are at a critical inflection point: large corporations are pouring tens of billions into AI adoption, and the playing field will not stay level for those who wait. Together they explore what AI actually is, the two core value drivers of efficiency and capability expansion, where to start when your team is at zero, why governance policies matter more than most owners realize, which specific tools deliver immediate value, and what AI genuinely cannot replace — deep domain expertise, broken process diagnosis, and nuanced human judgment. They also dive into real-world case studies from a beverage manufacturer and an insurance agency that have completely transformed their operations through AI, and close with a grounded, practical framework for family business leaders ready to take their first meaningful steps.

When people think about relocation, they often picture moving trucks, paperwork, and logistics. But behind every corporate move is a team of professionals helping families navigate one of life's biggest transitions.   Joining me today are three incredible relocation leaders, Katie Adams, Linda Lindenmoyer, and Jill Wylie, sharing what it really takes to guide people through change while balancing leadership, service, and problem solving behind the scenes at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.   Grab your cafecito and get ready for a conversation about leadership, relocation, and what it takes to help people move forward during major life transitions.   Meet The Leaders Katie Adams, Vice President of Corporate Relocation and Business Development at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate Linda Lindenmoyer, Vice President of Relocation Services for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty Jill Wylie, Vice President of Relocation Services for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties   Why Relocation Is More Complex Than People Realize Many people assume relocation is simply coordinating moves and paperwork. The reality looks very different. Families leave behind routines, schools, careers, and support systems. Companies face hiring timelines, housing challenges, and employee transitions. Behind every move are countless moving pieces happening at once. These leaders shared how relocation professionals often balance corporate expectations, communication with agents, housing challenges, timelines, and unexpected problems while helping families feel supported during major life changes.   Leading Through Uncertainty Great leadership matters most when challenges appear. Relocation professionals solve problems daily, whether that means helping families settle into a new community, finding unexpected solutions, or helping people navigate uncertainty during stressful transitions. Strong leadership often comes down to staying calm under pressure, listening well, communicating clearly, and focusing on solutions rather than problems.   Building Success Through Relationships Long-term success in relocation is built on trust. Whether supporting families, agents, relocation management companies, or corporate clients, strong relationships remain at the center of everything. Because relocation is not simply about moving people from one place to another. It is about helping people move forward with confidence.   Leadership Advice, Books, and Quotes Linda shared a favorite verse that guides her leadership approach: "Let all that you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14 Jill recommended Atomic Habits and You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. She also shared a leadership principle that stood out to her: "Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge." Katie shared one of her favorite reminders from Maya Angelou: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."   When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I sat down with therapist and life coach, Anna Marcolin, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to grow as an entrepreneur. We talk about the mindset required for business ownership, the courage required to put yourself out there before you feel fully ready, and why taking action matters so much more than endlessly consuming information and waiting for confidence to arrive first.This conversation is such a great reminder that confidence is built through action, repetition, failure, resilience, and continuing to show up even when it feels hard. There's so much value packed into this conversation for anyone who's building a business, navigating self-doubt, or trying to figure out how to keep moving forward without waiting to feel perfectly ready first.Links:Website: https://www.annamarcolin.com/Podcast: https://www.annamarcolin.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/askannamarcolin/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@askannamarcolinIf you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

In this Retail Technology Spotlight episode, Chris Walton sits down with Kevin Billings, Vice President of Business Development at Sifter Solutions, to unpack how GLP-1 medications, SNAP legislation, and nutrition focused merchandising are reshaping the future of grocery retail. From state-by-state SNAP restrictions to hyper personalized shopping experiences powered by nutrition data, Kevin explains why retailers can no longer afford to treat food intelligence as a niche capability.

The conversation also explores how grocers can connect pharmacy, loyalty, and merchandising programs to serve shoppers using GLP-1 medications while differentiating themselves against competitors like Amazon and Walmart. From electronic shelf tags and personalized promotions to Arkansas' statewide SNAP technology rollout, this episode offers a practical look at how retailers can prepare for the next era of food as medicine and nutrition driven retail innovation. Key Topics Covered: • 00:11:36 – How SNAP restriction waivers are changing grocery retail state by state • 00:15:57 – Why retailers need product level nutrition data for compliance and merchandising • 00:18:22 – Inside Arkansas' first statewide SNAP shopper technology initiative • 00:24:25 – Why grocers should already be merchandising for GLP-1 shoppers • 00:31:53 – Kevin's vision for the future of hyper personalized grocery shopping See our past 8 years of wonderful Spotlight Series podcast guests, featuring roughly 200 movers and shakers in retail, by clicking here: https://omnitalk.blog/category/spotlight-series-podcast/ #retailtech #groceryretail #GLP1 #foodasmedicine #SNAP #retailinnovation #nutrition #AI #retailoperations #merchandising #loyalty #pharmacy #grocerytech #OmniTalk #retailpodcast *Sponsored Content*

Corrections gets judged by headlines it didn't write, so I'm taking you behind the scenes of a month that reminded me why this profession deserves real respect. From Correctional Officers Week events to national recognition, I share the moments that felt like the “best of corrections” and the lessons we can bring back to our own agencies.We start at the One Voice United conference (link below), where I join Pete Bludworth (Corrections Unfiltered) and Sarah Robuck (Lexipol and Corrections1) to talk about our jobs and our voices. If we don't tell the truth about what correctional officers do, nature abhors a vacuum, and the public story gets filled with TV myths, one-sided news, and silence about the good work happening inside facilities. We also dig into wellness in corrections, efforts to get lawmakers to walk through prisons before setting policy on staffing and funding, and a powerful account from New York's union leadership caught between political pressure and officers pushed past the breaking point.Then we pivot to the stories many people never hear: the role correctional staff played during 9/11 recovery, and how corrections shows up in emergencies with resources and readiness. I also talk about practical support for staff, including a vendor focused on home loans for public servants that explicitly includes corrections, and the National Medal of Honor for Corrections banquet, where courage and service are honored on a national stage. One of the vendors I met at OVU (link below) is a company that is working to get public service heroes, including correctional officers, into houses. American Hero Home Loans uses its Hero Advantage+™ to connect eligible heroes with trusted real estate, lending, title, settlement, insurance, and home service partners.  We close with training and leadership: field training insights from the Southeast Field Training Officers Association (SEFTOA - link below).  I also share with a new leadership class my framework for handling change by reframing fear and walking through the next door of their life with skill and confidence.If you care about corrections leadership, correctional officer wellness, and changing public perception of corrections, this one's for you. Subscribe, share it with a coworker, and leave a review so more staff can find these stories.One Voice United & The National Medal of Honor for Corrections https://onevoiceunited.org/American Heroes Home LoansCorrections Webpage:ahhlusa.com/correctionsAHHL Flyer:https://canva.link/theprisonofficer Joe FerraroFounder & CEOAmerican Heroes Homes and Lending631-767-9073joe.ferraro@ahhlusa.com or joeferraro@annie-mac.comAngela HarrenDirector of Business Development & MarketingAmerican Heroes Homes and Lending612-423-4423angela.harren@ahhlusa.comSoutheastern Field Training Officers Associationhttps://seftoa.org/For my new book: Weight of Justice: Leadership Lessons from Inside America's Toughest Prisons: A Correctional Officer's JourneyMichael Cantrell's books: https://www.cantrellwrites.com/Amazon: https://amzn.to/4utqUSOSend us Fan Mail PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.Command PresenceBringing prisons and jails the training they deserve!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

DOPEY FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 JOIN PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast NOTES:  This week on Dopey! We have it all! Emails! Blood Shot Voice mails! Comments! Mysogny and Sisterhood! Then we bring dopey with Natanya Ross — the iconic 90s child star from The Secret Life of Alex Mack. I sat down with her in LA and she absolutely opened up her soul. We covered everything from her crazy early fame (she was doing Gerber commercials at six months old), discovering she was adopted at 19, her adoptive mother's horrific betrayal and financial abuse, to descending into heavy opioid and heroin addiction. Natanya got real about living in a car and at the notorious American Hotel on Skid Row with other child stars, her relationship with Brad Renfro (who tragically overdosed and died right next to her), the later death of her fiancé Blake, and how she fought her way into long-term recovery. She's now deep in the treatment world — Executive Director of Business Development at Valiant Behavioral Health, President of the Women's Association of Addiction Treatment, and founder of San Fernando Valley Feed the Homeless.  This one is serious Dopey business — raw child star trauma, Hollywood darkness, and triumphant recovery all in one.  ALL THAT AND WAY MORE on this weeks new episode of that good old Dopey Show!
