Healthcare CEO Vasanta Pundarika shares how behavioral health and women's health organizations can scale effectively while maintaining clinical mission and patient trust.

Send us a textTrust just outperformed reach, and the ripple effects across podcasting were impossible to ignore. We step back from the noise and share a clear-eyed look at how 2025 reshaped the medium: ad dollars didn't vanish, they got picky; sloppy, reactive launches faded; and intentional, voice-led shows built momentum by earning credibility one conversation at a time.We walk through the economic realities that forced sharper strategy, showing why advertisers concentrated spend on proven hosts and why niche podcasts won more meaningful outcomes with fewer downloads. As traditional media continued to erode and AI flooded feeds, listeners doubled down on long-form audio for context, nuance, and human tone. That shift elevated experts who serve a specific audience with clarity, rather than chasing mass appeal or empty virality.Community took centre stage as algorithms stalled. Smaller, community-driven shows converted better because they focused on the right listener. We dig into how to use podcasting as a relationship engine, where know-like-trust beats top-line numbers, and share a real-world example of a modestly sized show landing high-value clients through consistent, relevant content. We also outline our pivot into strategic podcast guesting—moving away from random appearances toward aligned stages that deepen credibility and open new opportunities for both host and audience.Rounding things out, we introduce a new executive-level, concierge podcast model built for leaders who want on-location capture, higher production value, and a clear strategy without the duct tape. We wrap with an invitation to the upcoming Podcast Alliance event—featuring sessions on live, on-location podcasting and best practices for hosting—and a look ahead to 2026 priorities: tighter focus, stronger communities, smarter use of AI, and a relentless commitment to trust.Podcast Alliance Quarterly MeetUp & Mastermind Where Podcasters, Podcast Guests and content creators meet, collaborate and network!  Wednesday January 21st, 2026 11am - 1pm EST  3 amazing speakers!

Burnout is depletion, leadership fatigue is overload. This episode helps leaders diagnose which one they are facing and gives clear, tactical steps to recover strength and clarity fast.Host: Paul FalavolitoConnect with me on your favorite platform: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, BlueSky, Threads, LinkTree, YouTubeView my website for free leadership resources and exclusive merchandise: www.paulfalavolito.comBooks by Paul FalavolitoThe 7 Minute Leadership Handbook: bit.ly/48J8zFGThe Leadership Academy: https://bit.ly/4lnT1PfThe 7 Minute Leadership Survival Guide: https://bit.ly/4ij0g8yThe Leader's Book of Secrets: http://bit.ly/4oeGzCI

In this episode of Sold Out Offers, I walk you through a series of small, practical tweaks you can make to bring an offer back from the brink. These are not big rebrands or six-week projects. They're short, focused checks that help you reconnect with the purpose, positioning, and delivery of what you've already built—so you can decide what actually needs changing (and what doesn't). We'll look at your sales page, your offer result, who the offer is really for, and whether the delivery experience still makes sense. I also talk about how overstuffing, unclear transformation, or underpricing can quietly drain your energy—and make an offer feel heavier than it needs to be. If selling or delivering something has started to feel like dragging a dead weight, there is a way to fix that. This episode is about falling back in love with your work—or at least giving it a fair chance before you throw it away. Because I've seen offers go from “total flop” to signature, most-lucrative work simply by making these kinds of intentional adjustments. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow to quickly self-audit your sales page and spot where the disconnect really isWhy clients buy transformation, not calls, documents, or deliverablesHow unclear targeting can quietly sabotage an otherwise solid offerWhy delivery design matters more than adding “more value”The link between pricing, energy, and why an offer starts to feel heavy"You're not selling deliverables, you're selling an experience. And if the experience doesn't make sense, the offer won't either."  Step into my festival world...

As Amelia Wrighton put it, “If you can be there in the boring, you can be there in the beautiful.”This Episode Covers✨ Focus on What You Can ControlChloe and Paul revisit Ben Hunt-Davis's Olympic mindset and the game-changing question: Will it make the boat go faster?

Resistance is not disrespect, it is data. This episode explains how leaders can course correct when well intended decisions meet pushback, without compromising standards, trust, or authority.Host: Paul FalavolitoConnect with me on your favorite platform: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, BlueSky, Threads, LinkTree, YouTube View my website for free leadership resources and exclusive merchandise: www.paulfalavolito.comBooks by Paul FalavolitoThe 7 Minute Leadership Handbook: bit.ly/48J8zFGThe Leadership Academy: https://bit.ly/4lnT1PfThe 7 Minute Leadership Survival Guide: https://bit.ly/4ij0g8yThe Leader's Book of Secrets: http://bit.ly/4oeGzCI

Nokukhanya Mntambo talks to Judy Klipin, Author and Career Coach, about why annual goal setting is more than a checkbox. It’s about giving teams direction, improving performance, and aligning personal growth with organizational priorities. Rather than being a bureaucratic exercise, clear goals help staff focus on what matters most over the year and measure progress in a meaningful way.

In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Mark Bealin, SEO Expert and founder of SearchLab, to unpack what it really takes for businesses to get found today, across Google, local search, and the rapidly changing world of AI-powered discovery. This is not a surface-level SEO conversation. Our conversation breaks down how search has evolved, why many founders are unknowingly invisible online, and what actually matters now if you want customers to find you instead of your competitors.Mark shares hard-earned lessons from building companies through multiple search eras, from the early days of Google to today's AI-driven answer engines. We also dig into why chasing hacks is a losing game, how customer obsession directly impacts rankings and revenue, and why reputation, trust, and fundamentals matter more than ever in a world of zero-click searches and AI summaries.We also go deep on the practical side. Local search, Google Business Profiles, reviews, content strategy, and how founders should think differently about SEO as a long-term business asset, not a marketing trick. Along the way, Mark connects search strategy to leadership, focus, and building a company that can adapt as technology keeps changing.You'll learn:✅ Why most founders misunderstand how customers actually find businesses today✅ What matters more than rankings in a world of AI answers and zero-click search✅ How reputation and customer obsession directly impact growth and visibility✅ Why chasing SEO “hacks” hurts long-term performance and trust✅ How to future-proof your business as search and AI continue to evolveIf you are a founder or business owner trying to grow demand, win trust, and stay relevant as search shifts under your feet, this conversation will reshape how you think about being discovered.Connect with Mark Bealin Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbealin/Guest Website: https://searchlabdigital.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

A guest episode from Famous & Gravy. On each episode, host Michael Osborne and guests look at the life of a famous dead celebrity and ask themselves if it's a life they would've wanted. The show gets into all sorts of things you will not in that person's official obituary or biography. I'm a fan. Here's how they describe today's episode:This person died 2011, age of 56. He dropped out of Reed College in 1972 and once said that taking LSD was among the most important things he ever did. In the early years of his career, his obsession with detail drove colleagues crazy, but later he inspired extraordinary loyalty. In the 1990s he bought a small computer graphics spinoff from George Lucas and built it into Pixar. He told the world he would step down as Apple's CEO if he could no longer meet expectations — and then he did. Today's dead celebrity is Steve Jobs.Subscribe to Famous & Gravy in all your favorite podcast apps and at famousandgravy.com---And if you please…Subscribe to the CRAFTED. newsletter: crafted.fmShare with a friend!

Hello everyone -It's the week of Christmas, the world is slowing down, and, like many of you, I've been settling down into my own year-end pause. (You ARE doing that, right? Or will be soon?)In honor of that pause, I wanted to do something a little different on the podcast. So I'm reflecting in this episode not on what I did this year, but what I learned — especially from the courageous, thoughtful clients I've had the deep honor of serving this year.Their stories shape me in ways big and small, and I'd like to share a few of those with you.In this episode, you'll hear…How courage, self-respect, and claiming space showed up everywhere this year.The challenge so many high-achievers face by showing up for everyone but themselves (and how things change when they shift that dynamic).Three powerful client stories that sparked my own growth, and how I am inspired by each.Why alignment matters more than approval or output.

Success does not eliminate pressure. It often multiplies it.Once you experience a win, the fear shifts from “what if I fail?” to “what if I can't do it again?” In this episode, I unpack why success can feel heavier than failure, how emotional attachment to outcomes distorts clarity, and why many people end up running in place even while working hard.We explore how open loops, unfinished commitments, and mental clutter quietly drain focus, energy, and momentum. I share why learning to detach emotionally from outcomes is not about becoming numb or disconnected, but about creating enough objectivity to take better action. When everything feels personal, every fluctuation feels like failure.You'll learn how to:Detach your identity from results so one miss doesn't spiral into self-doubtClose open loops that create constant mental taxationCut through noise, distractions, and unnecessary commitmentsSay no with intention so yes actually means somethingMeasure progress beyond a single KPI or narrow definition of successBuild systems, structure, and infrastructure that support sustainable growthWe also talk about why sustainability must come before scalability, how discipline fills the gap when motivation fades, and why progress often comes from doing less, more intentionally, instead of chasing everything at once.This episode is a reminder that clarity creates momentum, simplicity creates leverage, and consistent execution is what turns intention into real results.Close the loops.
