What does a Pediatric ICU nurse and a med spa owner have in common? More than you'd think — and it's all one squiggly career.Alyssa D'Arcy went from caring for critically ill children to building her own aesthetics practice, and the thread connecting it all is the same: a deep commitment to helping people feel their best. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what aesthetic medicine actually looks like when it's done right — and it's far from the Instagram trends and quick-fix culture most people associate with it.Colleen and Ashleigh dig into the real conversation around aesthetic medicine: the stigma, the safety questions, and the shift toward full-body wellness that includes hormones, women's health, and longer, more intentional consultations. Alyssa breaks down how to vet a provider, why credentials matter more than a social media following. Whether you're curious about aesthetics, navigating your own career squiggle, or just want to hear from someone doing things differently — this one's worth your time.Connect with Alyssa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-d-arcy-5a0799b6/Follow ALDA: https://www.instagram.com/aldaaestheticsWork with MaxadyReady for your next step?

How to Start Making an Impact (Beyond Money) | Stop Doing Nothing Live On the August 26 episode of Stop Doing Nothing Live Patrick Allmong reflects on the recent loss of Dolly Parton and uses it to introduce a multi-part discussion on why making an impact matters more than simply making money. He shares his background running Stop Doing Nothing Media and describes his own shift from pursuing higher income to focusing on using money and business to benefit others. Patrick argues impact starts with helping just one person, getting past ego, and prioritizing ideas and legacy over name recognition, noting people are quickly forgotten after death. He offers guiding questions for creating impact: provide long-term benefits, enrich lives, relieve stress, enable others to help their families, entertain and make people laugh, unlock human potential, help people focus, and increase certainty through reduced risk and diversified income.  00:00 Welcome to the Show 00:21 Remembering Dolly Parton  01:20 Why Impact Matters 04:23 Patrick's Business Journey  07:21 Legacy Over Likes 08:52 Humans Must Evolve  12:47 Ideas Outlive Your Name 16:07 Get Past the Ego  17:33 Long Term Benefits  20:53 Entertainment and Laughter  23:30 Unlock Human Potential  24:58 Focus and Predictability 31:22 Recap and Next Steps 34:31 Subscribe and Closing

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with Amanda Barkey to explore the difference between using EOS vs running a business on EOS, and why that distinction changes everything.  Amanda shares her journey from self-implementing EOS in her Soccer Shots franchise business to becoming a certified EOS implementer. Starting with limited support and plenty of early struggles, she and her husband turned their business around by applying EOS tools and disciplines, eventually scaling and successfully selling multiple franchises.  A key insight from Amanda is that simply using EOS tools is not enough. Real transformation happens when you fully commit to running your business on EOS with consistency, discipline, and accountability. She highlights how tools like the Level 10 Meeting, People Analyzer, and clear compartmentalisation improved communication, strengthened team health, and drove results.  The conversation also dives into the importance of the visionary and integrator relationship. Amanda credits having a strong integrator as a major factor in their success, helping maintain structure and execution while the visionary focused on growth and direction.  Beyond business, Amanda shares how she applies EOS principles in her family life, using tools like a family VTO and core values to create alignment and reduce conflict. She also discusses her nonprofit work in Cameroon, funded by her business success, demonstrating how EOS can support not just better businesses, but better lives.  If you are currently “using” EOS but not seeing full results, this episode will challenge you to step up into truly running your business on EOS.       CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/  ___________________________________________        GUEST'S DETAILS:   ► Amanda Barkey – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-barkey-409908107/ ► Website – EOS Worldwide: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/amanda-barkey/      Episode 269 Chapters:     00:00 – Introduction 00:35 – Amanda Barkey's Entrepreneurial Journey and EOS Implementation  02:21 – Amanda Barkey's Background and Business Journey  12:36 – Challenges and Successes with EOS Implementation  15:10 – The Role of an Integrator and Implementer  34:20 – EOS in Family Life  47:18 – Amanda's Future Plans and Nonprofit Work  47:30 – The Power of EOS Tools  47:43 – Final Thoughts and Advice for Entrepreneurs
