Would you become a physical therapist again?That question sits underneath this episode of PT Breakfast Club with Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato, and Dave Kittle.The conversation starts with physical therapy burnout. Tony reacts to a survey suggesting nearly half of PTs report burnout, and the crew debates what burnout actually means. Is it exhaustion? Cynicism? Reduced effectiveness? Or has the word become a catch-all for low pay, paperwork, bad bosses, student loans, long hours, and the general sensation that work has become a haunted spreadsheet?Jimmy shares a LinkedIn poll asking what clinicians really mean when they say they want fewer patients. Do they want more time with each patient? A buffer between visits? Both? Or do they simply want less work?Dave talks about hiring clinicians for a concierge/cash-pay model and why he wants people who may want a better model, but are not publicly torching their current employer or profession online.Then the conversation turns to the big career question: would Tony and Dave become PTs again? Would they recommend physical therapy to their kids? The answer is complicated. PT can still be a great career, but only if clinicians understand the game they are actually entering.The back half of the episode shifts into social media and clinic growth. Tony explains how he is using Meta AI, ChatGPT, and Gemini to analyze his Facebook content, where he generated massive reach and meaningful revenue from simple posts. Jimmy connects it to his talk with Colorado PT students: don't create “social media.” Create media that is social.The takeaway:Attention leads to trust. Trust leads to action.In This EpisodePrior authorization as an escape room from hellWhat burnout actually meansWhy being tired is not always burnoutCan burned-out clinicians still deliver great care?What PTs really want when they ask for fewer patientsWhy some clinicians want better while others just want lessHiring for concierge and cash-pay PTWould Tony and Dave become PTs again?Whether PT is still a good careerWhat students should know about market forcesAI-assisted social media analysisWhy simple posts can outperform polished contentHow comments become communityWhy clinics should stop overthinking content creationAttention → trust → actionPull Quotes“Prior Authorization Escape Room: nobody has escaped yet.”“Burnout has become the catch-all for ‘work sucks.'”“Patients stop becoming Mrs. Smith and start becoming the ten o'clock.”“When you say you want fewer patients, what are you actually asking for?”“You don't want the person looking for your job opportunity to fix their life.”“Know the game before choosing the career.”“Don't create social media. Create media that is social.”“People love to talk about themselves.”“Attention leads to trust. Trust leads to action.”“Don't spend a dollar on anything until you do 100 repetitions.”“If you're staying the same, you're left behind.”

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and this is part 2 of my conversation with acting coach Mel Mack.Mel and I get into the biggest obstacle she sees actors running into right now, especially since the pandemic and the rise of social media: misinformation and self-doubt. She's watched actors get talked out of their own confidence by comments from people who don't actually know what they're talking about, and we talk about why doing your homework on who you're learning from matters as much as any class you'll take.We also dig into why so many actors set goals that are too small, and why Mel pushes the actors she coaches to think bigger and get specific about what they want. From there we get practical: networking with actual purpose instead of just collecting contacts, the preparation and mindset it takes to walk onto a set or into an audition room ready, and why the perfectionism trap so many actors fall into with self-tapes works against them instead of for them. Mel also breaks down why training never really stops, no matter how far along you are.If you've ever felt like the industry was talking you out of your own confidence, this conversation is for you.In this episode we discuss:The biggest obstacle facing actors today: misinformation and self-doubtWhy Mel coaches actors to set bold, specific career goals instead of small onesNetworking with purpose and building real fans in the industryPreparation, adaptability, and staying present in the sceneSelf-tapes and the perfectionism trapWhy actors have to keep training, no matter where they are in their careerWhat actually happens on a film set, and how to prepare for itUnderstanding direction and staying presentGoing off book and training consistentlyStaying the course without shortcutsBringing newness and wonder to every sceneGuest: Mel Mack, acting coach and author of 101 Acting Tips Mel Mack Acting Studio: https://melmackactingstudio.com/Timestamps: 00:00:00 - The Biggest Obstacle Facing Actors Today 00:02:21 - Setting Bold, Specific Career Goals 00:04:54 - Networking with Purpose and Building Industry Fans 00:07:01 - Preparation, Adaptability, and Staying in the Scene 00:10:05 - Self-Tapes and the Perfectionism Trap 00:12:23 - Why Actors Must Keep Training 00:14:31 - Preparing Actors for the Reality of a Film Set 00:15:18 - Understanding Direction and Staying Present 00:17:26 - Going Off Book and Training Consistently 00:20:12 - Staying the Course Without Shortcuts 00:21:14 - Bringing Newness and Wonder to Every Scene#Acting #ActingCoach #ActingTips #ActingCareer #AuditionTips #SelfTape #ActingStudio #Hollywood #Podcast

She built a global fitness brand without investors, business degree, or plans for becoming an entrepreneur.When Eliza Shirazi graduated from UMass, she thought she'd spend her career working in public health. Fitness classes were simply a side hustle—a way to make a little extra money after work.Over the next decade, that side hustle became Kick It by Eliza, a kickboxing-inspired worldwide fitness community that has transformed thousands of lives through live events, instructor certifications, social media content to her 25,000 Instagram followers, online memberships, and partnerships/appearances with brands like New Balance, NBC's "The Today Show," POPSUGAR, and more.But as is often the case, things don't always appear as they seem.In this conversation with host Troy Farkas, Portsmouth's Shirazi opens up about the rejection that's shaped her, the sponsorship deal she lost just when everything seemed to be working, the imposter syndrome she felt training in the boxing ring with George Foreman's son, the nerves she felt before making the biggest media appearances of her life, and the terrifying uncertainty of watching the pandemic threaten everything she'd spent years building.This episode, which is presented by Degree Wellness Seacoast, is about much more than fitness. It's about betting on yourself before anyone else does, learning to separate your own dreams from everyone else's expectations, embracing rejection as a competitive advantage, and discovering that the biggest opportunities often arrive disguised as your worst setbacks.In this episode, you'll learn:Why losing her biggest sponsorship became the catalyst for her greatest growthHow George Foreman's son helped her overcome imposter syndromeThe surprising business lesson behind building a fiercely loyal communityHow one YouTube workout unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her careerWhat the pandemic taught her about resilience and reinventionThe simple goal-setting framework she uses to stay motivated during overwhelming seasonsWhy rejection is one of the most valuable assets an entrepreneur can haveTroubling health trends and why she refuses to lean into themSUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:⁠Visit the NEW ⁠⁠⁠SeacoastStories.com⁠⁠⁠ for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME ⁠⁠⁠summer merch drop⁠⁠⁠!Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: The club that's regularly attracting ~100 people heads to Amesbury, Mass. on Wednesday, August 5, and back to Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your seat at the table here.⁠⁠⁠SPONSORS:Degree Wellness Seacoast: A new all-on-one recovery center is coming to North Hampton, N.H!

Have you left it too late to create the career you want? Or are you telling yourself time is running out to make a change?If you're a senior leader at a career crossroads and you're circling these very questions, today I'm giving you a filter to run your situation through.The leaders I work with are typically in their 40's or 50's. I remember one client telling me in our very first consult:‘I turned 50 last year, I figure I've got 10-15 years until retirement and I want to make the most of this time.' Yet one of the most common things I hear is: What if I've left it too late?Often it's the first time they've said it out loud -- and something they haven't admitted to anyone else.The short answer to this question is: It's NEVER too late.But there are a few things which will keep you at a crossroads longer than you need to be -- regardless of your age or circumstances.So in this episode, I'm walking you through a 5 part checklist to assess your current situation. Find out if you've left it too late and what to do instead to start creating the career you want. You'll learn:The ONE shift that determines whether you'll design your next career chapter intentionally, rather than letting time run outWhy figuring out what you want next takes less time than avoiding it -- and how to ensure you're NOT standing at the same crossroads in 2 years' timeHow waiting for the 'perfect' moment guarantees you WILL leave it too late to make a change in your careerWhat's REALLY hiding beneath the belief ‘I'm running out of time' and how to stop using timing as an excuse How one client redefined success at a stage when many people choose to slow down in their careers -- and why they're living proof it's NEVER too late So hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

For most of her creative life, Charuka Arora Founder of Arts to Hearts Project believed creative success belonged to a certain kind of person people from the right city, the right family, the right circles. She did not see herself in that picture. A decade of building Arts to Hearts Project changed her mind.After six years of building Arts to Hearts Project and interviewing more than 200 artists, curators, gallerists, and art fair founders, she has come to say something out loud: she was completely wrong. In this episode of Season 6 of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka walks listeners through the evidence that changed her mind and the one pattern she keeps seeing on repeat in every person who has built something real in the creative world.

Instead, it brought confusion, anxiety, and a deep loss of identity she had not fully prepared for.In this episode, Charlotte shares how she found her way through that difficult period, why switching to canoeing gave her a second chapter she never expected, and how she now approaches performance, purpose, and life beyond sport very differently.What You'll HearHow Charlotte's early disability shaped her path into sportWhy swimming gave her freedom, independence, and community as a childThe chance meeting that introduced her to the Paralympic dreamWhat it felt like to make her first Paralympic Games in BeijingHow a serious infection in Beijing affected her first Paralympic experienceWhy missing out on a medal in 2008 fueled her drive toward London 2012The pressure and overtraining that nearly derailed her path to the home gamesWhat really happened emotionally when she retired from swimmingWhy moving into a second sport did not automatically fix the loss of identityThe moment she realized she needed help to process the transitionWhy even a “dream life” in sport can still leave someone feeling anxious and lostHow canoeing became the most successful chapter of her careerWhat she is doing differently now to prepare for life after sportWhy exploring opportunities outside of sport has made her a better athleteGolden Nugget“It is important to acknowledge when even the most beautiful life can create this real sense of anxiety and lack of purpose.”Want to Go Deeper?Charlotte's honesty in this episode is what makes it so powerful.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with Susan Holmes McKagan for a conversation about reinvention, courage, and playing the long game.After a successful career as a 90s supermodel, Susan pivoted in her late 40s and enrolled in Harvard Graduate School to deepen and refine her craft as a writer.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comMost leaders were taught to leave their emotions at the door. Today's guest says that advice isn't just outdated — it's costly. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Dina Denham Smith, executive coach and bestselling author of Emotionally Charged, to unpack why emotional skill is now a core leadership capability, not a “soft” add-on. Drawing on behavioral science and her work as an executive coach and strategic advisor, Dina explains why emotions are data, how leaders unknowingly perform massive emotional labor, and what it really takes to manage triggers, prevent burnout, and unlock performance. As Dina puts it: “Emotions are money.” By the end of this conversation, you'll see why ignoring emotions is bad for you and bad for business – and what to do instead.SHOW NOTESDina's story — and why this work mattersOne surprising thing about Dina you won't find on the internetHow Emotionally Charged would have helped Dina earlier in her own careerWhat sparked Dina's interest in the science of emotionsHow the pandemic and technology shifts dramatically increased the emotional demands placed on leadersCore ideas from Emotionally ChargedThe key takeaway: Emotions are information“Emotions are money”: how feelings directly translate into performance, retention, and resultsThe biggest myth Dina wants to retire: that emotions get in the way of good business decisionsWhat “emotional labor” really means — and why research shows leaders perform as much of it as customer service professionals (and in more complex ways)The three layers of every emotion: physiology, cognition, and behaviorWhy suppressing emotions is like trying to hold beach balls underwater Practical tools you can use immediatelyBeach balls, masks, and “letting it all hang out”: finding the right balance at workWhy expanding your emotional vocabulary dramatically improves self-regulationDina's BRAVE framework for managing triggers in real time: Breathe, Refocus, Accept, Verbalize, Engage Restoration (not “self-care”): four evidence-based ways leaders recover from emotional strain: Detachment, Relaxation, Mastery, Control Power, leadership, and team cultureWhy leaders consistently underestimate their emotional impactHow power amplifies everything you feel and showWhy everyone cues off their leader's emotional signals (often unconsciously)How leaders can normalize emotional expression on their teams — without turning meetings into complaint sessionsSimple ways managers can reset emotional culture inside their own sphere of influenceDina's reminder: emotional skills are learnable — and improvable at any stage of your career. BIO AND LINKSDina Denham Smith is an executive coach and strategic advisor who helps senior leaders build their capacity, scale their impact, and thrive in complexity.

Jason Donovan is one of the most interesting people I've ever met. I grew up knowing him as the golden boy from Neighbours so, it was surprising to hear how desperate he was to shake off that teenage heart throb image.Fame hit him young and fast, and before he'd had chance to figure out who he was, Jason found himself trapped in a world that expected him to stay the same blue eyed, blonde haired version of himself that everyone had fallen in love with.In the ‘90s, he pushed back hard: three-day bender, a coc*ine overdose at LA's Viper Room and using dr*gs to escape the squeaky-clean persona that followed him from Neighbours to the West End.He doesn't regret those years, but says they taught him a hell of a lot about himself.We cover:His need to shake off the teen heartthrob image and be “cool”Bingeing on coc*ine at the height of his fameHow becoming a dad changed everything and led him to quit dr*gsHis relationship with Kylie and how it's followed him throughout his careerWhat it's like to age in the public eyeThis conversation is a reminder that even the brightest stars carry shadows and that facing them can be the most powerful comeback of all.Jason Donovan is Great Company.

Sales Mastery in the Modern Era with Navid MomeniIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Navid Momeni, Founder and CEO of Sales Guru Global and author of How to Become a Sales Master. Navid dives into what sets top-performing sales professionals apart in today's market—emphasizing curiosity, empathy, and the relentless pursuit of growth. He shares how modern sales is about problem-finding over problem-solving, and why consistency, coachability, and a “growth mindset” are essential for success.Mastering Sales in Today's Evolving LandscapeNavid emphasizes that modern sales professionals excel through curiosity, in-depth research, and empathetic listening. Instead of pushing products, they act as trusted advisors who uncover client challenges and tailor meaningful solutions. These skills transform sales conversations into opportunities for connection, clarity, and trust-building.He also explains the importance of daily habits like tracking activity, refining objection handling, and practicing consistent follow-up. The concept of “clobbering”—relentless repetition and feedback—helps salespeople build muscle memory and improve performance over time.

How can architects build creative careers in the creator economy?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee speaks with Henry Gao, architect turned digital creator, educator, and founder of Draw With Gao, a platform that teaches architects and designers how to leverage iPad sketching as both a creative outlet and a new revenue stream. Henry's path offers a rare glimpse into how an architectural background can evolve beyond the profession into entrepreneurship, storytelling, and scalable creative business.Henry shares his journey from sketching historical buildings as a child in China to navigating a traditional architecture education in Canada and the U.S., and eventually stepping away from firm life after realizing it didn't align with his values. Along the way, he experimented with freelance renderings, ran an Etsy shop, studied architectural photography, and slowly built an ecosystem of content that now supports a global audience of designers.Together, Evelyn and Henry explore the challenges of leaving the traditional architecture path, the role of mentors and paid coaching, and what it takes to build a sustainable business around content, courses, and community. They also discuss Henry's evolution from side hustles to a full-time educational platform, the power of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and why he believes teaching is a form of service that architects are well-equipped to offer.“When I stopped trying to fit into traditional architecture roles, I started to see all the ways my training could serve people. Teaching, drawing, storytelling, those are still architectural skills. But now I use them to empower others, and in doing so, I've built a business that's both creative and sustainable.” - Henry GaoThe episode concludes with a reflection on ikigai - the Japanese concept of purpose, and how Henry's work sits at the intersection of what he loves, what he's good at, what people need, and what can be monetized. It's a conversation about reimagining the future of architecture as something broader than buildings - something designed to fit the life you want to live.Guest: Henry Gao is a designer, educator, and the founder of Draw With Gao, an online platform offering courses, tools, and coaching for architects and creatives interested in mastering digital hand drawing. Trained in architecture at Carleton University and Cornell, Henry transitioned from working in design firms to building a business rooted in teaching and storytelling. His work focuses on helping creatives turn their skills into impactful, scalable offerings in the creator economy.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if: ✅ You're an architect curious about alternative career paths ✅ You want to learn how to monetize creative skills beyond the billable hour ✅ You've considered launching an online course, product, or content platform ✅ You're exploring ways to build freedom and sustainability into your design careerWhat have you done to take action lately?
