Adam works with a client to help them feel more psosperous, to change decased old beliefs around money, growth and even motherhood. This session uses a metaphor of a pear tree to represent childhood beliefs and the thoughts and behaviours that come from them, and to change something toxic or useless into something very beneficial.
Cable TV titan John Malone joins Margaret Hoover to talk about his new memoir, “Born to Be Wired,” and current challenges in media and politics.Malone, who played a key role in the development of the cable industry at Tele-Communications Inc. and Liberty Media Corp., explains why he opposed efforts to regulate his industry like net neutrality–and why he now believes more aggressive regulation is necessary for Big Tech today. Still, he also defends the CEOs of major tech companies like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk as “heroes of a capitalistic society.”Malone–the chairman emeritus of CNN's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery–reflects on the state of the news media today, the need for objective reporting, and the consequences of a fractured media landscape.He also discusses the dysfunction of Congress and expansion of executive power and comments on President Trump's second term, saying “I like his policies, but his style is so disruptive and divisive that I'm not sure at the end of the day the country can survive it.”Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, The Tepper Foundation, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, and Pritzker Military Foundation.
Is America on the verge of an energy crisis? As demand skyrockets from AI, electric vehicles, and data centers, the question isn't just whether we can keep the lights on — it's whether our leaders are even serious about finding real solutions. Rolling blackouts, soaring costs, and broken promises could be right around the corner. So what's the truth about America's energy future, and what does it mean for your family, your wallet, and our economy? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive deep into the reality of America's energy production with energy policy fellow Sarah Montalbano. Forget the political spin — this conversation strips away the talking points and exposes whether we're truly prepared for the tidal wave of energy demand barreling toward us. We cover everything from natural gas and nuclear to wind, solar, and the hidden costs nobody talks about. Are so-called “green solutions” really sustainable, or are they just government-subsidized dead ends? You'll hear why some of the technologies being pushed hardest may actually make our problems worse — and which solutions actually have the power to deliver reliable, affordable energy. But it's not just about technology. It's about messaging, trade-offs, and overcoming decades of propaganda that taught Americans to fear the very resources that powered our prosperity. From Captain Planet cartoons to Greta and the Green New Deal, Sarah and I unpack how narratives shape energy policy — and how optimism and innovation can reframe the conversation. If you care about your future power bills, America's competitiveness, or whether our kids grow up in fear or confidence, you can't miss this one. It's a crash course in energy truth-telling — and a roadmap for how we reclaim both liberty and common sense in America's energy debate. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

What makes vulnerability in leadership powerful, but also dangerous? Leaders often confuse vulnerability with simply admitting mistakes or showing emotions. But without the right foundation, being “open” can backfire, leaving you looking weak or incompetent instead of inspiring trust. In today's Leadership Spark, the spotlight is on the eight attributes of vulnerable leaders, distilled from my conversations with over 100 global CEOs. The discussion reveals that vulnerability on its own isn't enough. It has to be paired with strong leadership qualities. We'll unpack the three crucial attributes leaders need, such as competence, self-confidence, and motivation. You'll hear real-world stories from failed $150M bets to CEOs battling panic attacks that show how uncomfortable but necessary vulnerability is. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Should we trust “the experts”… or should we trust our own eyes and experiences? That's the burning question at the center of today's episode. For years, Americans were told to sit down, shut up, and accept the “science” — no questions asked. But when the narrative started to unravel, more and more people began to wonder: who's really telling the truth? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this solo deep dive, Brian Nichols breaks down RFK Jr.'s explosive testimony on Capitol Hill, his eye-opening conversation with Bill Maher, and the broader debate about how government and Big Pharma shaped the COVID years. From mask mandates to vaccine questions, Brian doesn't just rehash the chaos — he asks the questions the establishment wants buried. We'll explore why so many Americans lost trust in public health institutions, how chronic disease rates skyrocketed, and why bureaucrats continue to push policies that ignore real data. You'll hear how RFK is challenging these narratives, what that means for everyday people, and why open debate — not censorship — is essential for a free society. This episode also digs into the cultural and political fallout: the rise of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, the bipartisan ties between Big Pharma and Congress, and the way dissenters were labeled as “dangerous” for simply asking questions. The patterns exposed here aren't just about COVID — they reveal how government power and corporate interests collide to control your choices. If you've ever felt gaslit by politicians, media “experts,” or health bureaucrats, this is an episode you cannot miss. Strap in as Brian pulls back the curtain on the narratives that shaped the pandemic — and what it all means for liberty, truth, and the future of American health policy. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Should we trust “the experts”… or should we trust our own eyes and experiences? That's the burning question at the center of today's episode. For years, Americans were told to sit down, shut up, and accept the “science” — no questions asked. But when the narrative started to unravel, more and more people began to wonder: who's really telling the truth?

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this solo deep dive, Brian Nichols breaks down RFK Jr.'s explosive testimony on Capitol Hill, his eye-opening conversation with Bill Maher, and the broader debate about how government and Big Pharma shaped the COVID years. From mask mandates to vaccine questions, Brian doesn't just rehash the chaos — he asks the questions the establishment wants buried. We'll explore why so many Americans lost trust in public health institutions, how chronic disease rates skyrocketed, and why bureaucrats continue to push policies that ignore real data. You'll hear how RFK is challenging these narratives, what that means for everyday people, and why open debate — not censorship — is essential for a free society. This episode also digs into the cultural and political fallout: the rise of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, the bipartisan ties between Big Pharma and Congress, and the way dissenters were labeled as “dangerous” for simply asking questions. The patterns exposed here aren't just about COVID — they reveal how government power and corporate interests collide to control your choices. If you've ever felt gaslit by politicians, media “experts,” or health bureaucrats, this is an episode you cannot miss. Strap in as Brian pulls back the curtain on the narratives that shaped the pandemic — and what it all means for liberty, truth, and the future of American health policy.

Cardiologist Stanley Liu discusses his article "The business lesson new doctors must unlearn." Stanley explains why the habits of being a "good soldier" during residency—such as accepting excessive workloads, never questioning compensation, and suppressing dissatisfaction—can harm physicians as they transition into attending roles. He discusses the importance of reframing one's professional identity from soldier to CEO, emphasizing the need to establish win-win professional relationships, protect valuable clients, and avoid restrictive contracts. Stanley highlights practical strategies for preventing burnout, maximizing career options, and treating medical practice as a personal business. Listeners will learn how adopting this mindset shift can create resilience, financial independence, and long-term career satisfaction. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

We have flipped the script and he's going to be interviewing me today. Welcome, Chad.Chad 00:00:12 Hey, Josh, thanks. It's great to be here. today, I would love to talk about your approach to, enhancing the performance of a business in your years as a business leader. What kind of framework have you developed where you can just step in and kind of implement ways to enhance the performance of a business pretty quickly.Josh 00:00:28 Over the last few years, I think, as our own business has continued to grow in scale, and I needed to build out a leadership team, I needed to myself write down what I felt were the biggest drivers, needle movers, biggest levers that I can pull inside the business. And so it forced me to kind of like narrow it down to like, there's a million different things that I could be working on with inside the business, right? I could be working on just HR in and of itself.Josh 00:00:59 I could be working on marketing, social media. I could be working on, you know, accounting, finance. There's the list goes on and on and on. Right. So what I decided to do is just create like four areas where if we focus on these four areas within our business and we make strategic decisions, this should be able to make an impact if we pull this particular lever. So that's how I kind of identified these. And I have specific examples here that I'll share with you that that walk through kind of why I decided like this is a core area of the business rather than, you know, maybe accounting for example, and finance, although important, you know, these are the four core things that I can move into a business, make changes, and then be able to see growth happen real quick. Does that make sense?Chad 00:01:50 Yeah, absolutely. So the first one that you listed, of the four was product innovation. Tell me a little bit more about you know obviously it's very important, but tell me a little bit more about your thoughts on it.Josh 00:02:00 Yeah. In one of our earlier podcast episodes, I shared this as one of my biggest mistakes that I've made in a business, and that is kind of creating me two products or looking at the market and saying, well, they're doing well with this type of product. So obviously I should just introduce something similar and I'm going to have similar results. What I have learned from launching over 1300 different products at this point is that you need to bring something unique to the table. creating meta products is never going to serve you in the long run. If if you do stumble upon something and it works. It's going to be a short term win in my opinion. So one of the examples that I would give you is, you know, one of the products that we launched during Covid, was educational posters. Okay. So obviously with homeschool, becoming more of a thing during Covid. Back in 2020, we our business had to pivot. We looked at, you know, different home school supplies and different things that we could launch to cater to that market because it was such a it was an expanding market at the time.Josh 00:03:11 We looked at one of the most competitive niches on Amazon itself, and we saw educational posters as one of those. What we decided to do is we decided to throw our hat in the ring, but what we noticed is that nearly all of the competitors and most of these competitors were overseas competitors, right? So what we noticed, though, is they all look very, very similar. You know, Chad, I would argue that it those posters that you saw on Amazon were probably the exact same posters that we grew up with in the classroom, you know, just kind of your standard, you know, vanilla educational poster, so to speak. And we're talking about like, ABC to, you know, all the letters of the alphabet. Counting from 1 to 100. Things like that. So what my wife decided to do, though, is she. You know, she's just so good at design. But she looked at what was trending on Etsy, what was trending on Pinterest, what was trending on Google, and what did she see on social media that teachers, how teachers were decorating their room, or how parents were decorating their homeschool rooms, so to speak.Josh 00:04:21 And after kind of gathering all of that information, she decided to design something that I don't think anybody else has ever seen before. So number one, she has a very creative mind. But we went into an overlay like, again, if most people would look at that niche, they'd say, that's a saturated market, don't go into it. There's no way you're going to make any money. And instead what we did is we launched the product in August of 2020. We became the number t...

A former Senior Counsel on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation explains how Washington works with respect to aviation policy and oversight. In the news, a Production Specification for Swift Fuels 100R unleaded avgas, the DOT Solicitation for Air Traffic Control Integrator Contract, EMAS and runway overruns, carrier qualifications for new Navy fighter pilots, and the Boeing strike. Guest Alex Simpson is Senior Vice President at Cassidy & Associates, a bipartisan government relations firm, where he focuses on the transportation sector. Previously, Alex served as Senior Counsel on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation under Chair and Ranking Member Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA). In that role, he led oversight of the FAA, TSA, NTSB, and the aviation industry. He executed over 25 hearings, including multiple high-profile hearings with airline and manufacturing CEOs, union leaders, DOT Secretaries, and FAA Administrators. Alex maintains close ties with the Senate Commerce and House Transportation & Infrastructure committees. Alex explains the major Congressional members and committees that create aviation policy and provide industry oversight. That includes the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, and the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. In addition, non-government stakeholders that influence policy decisions include organizations such as Airlines For America (A4A), ALPA, NATCA, Boeing, and even crash victim families acting as advocacy groups.

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode. And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making. That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week, in our full-length episode, Set Boundaries Like a Boss I shared tips and techniques to protect your time, energy and millions. Click the link above to listen. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I set boundaries like a boss, confidently protecting my time, energy, and focus. I no longer overcommit or say yes out of obligation; instead, I honor what truly serves my vision and growth. My worth is not defined by what I give, but by who I am, and I create space for abundance and success to flow freely into my life. As I enforce my boundaries, I create the structure I need for my business to thrive, and my success unfolds with ease and clarity." Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Set and Enforce Boundaries: Identify areas in your life or business where you feel drained or overcommitted. Start by setting clear boundaries around your time and energy. Practice saying "no" to low-priority tasks and distractions and protect your time for high-leverage activities that align with your growth goals. Schedule Downtime: Treat your rest as an essential part of your business strategy. Block out time on your calendar each week for rest and reflection. This helps you recharge, improve your decision-making, and keep your focus sharp for the tasks that matter most. Align Actions with Priorities: Reevaluate your daily activities and ensure they align with your long-term goals. Focus on what will produce results, and delegate or eliminate anything that drains your energy or takes you off track. This will help you maintain momentum while protecting your energy. Affirm with me: "I set boundaries like a boss, confidently protecting my time, energy, and focus. I no longer overcommit or say yes out of obligation; instead, I honor what truly serves my vision and growth. My worth is not defined by what I give, but by who I am, and I create space for abundance and success to flow freely into my life. As I enforce my boundaries, I create the structure I need for my business to thrive, and my success unfolds with ease and clarity." And this week's journal prompts are: The boundary I need to set this week to protect my time, energy, and focus is..." "Today, I commit to saying no to in order to honor my priorities and growth is…" Before the week is over, I will schedule some downtime to… And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father, We thank You for the opportunity to grow, expand, and step into the powerful leaders You have called us to be. We ask that You help us establish and honor boundaries that protect our time, energy, and focus. Grant us the wisdom and courage to say no to distractions and yes to the growth opportunities that align with our purpose. We pray for clarity in prioritizing what matters most, trusting that as we set boundaries, we are creating the space needed to receive the abundance and success You have prepared for us. Guide our decisions and help us lead with integrity, purpose, and grace. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

Send us a textWhat if your greatest competitive advantage is hiding in plain sight within your HR department? Terri Wilson, CEO of Doing HR Differently, joins me to shatter outdated notions of HR as merely a compliance function and reveals how transforming your people operations can become your rocket fuel for growth.Terri passionately unpacks how most organizations drastically underutilize their HR teams by relegating them to transactional work when they could be driving strategic business objectives. Through compelling case studies and practical examples, we explore how progressive companies are flipping the script – investing in HR as a business driver rather than an administrative cost center.We dive deep into leadership development, examining how founders often struggle with challenging personalities on their executive teams. Terri provides a powerful diagnostic question: how much of your management time are you spending on each direct report? If one difficult executive consumes 80% of your attention, what could you accomplish if that time were freed up for strategic initiatives? This conversation offers practical guidance for CEOs drowning in people problems.The discussion takes a fascinating turn when we explore how organizations signal their true values through what behaviors they tolerate. Companies that allow high performers to behave badly while delivering results are sending unmistakable messages about priorities – regardless of what their stated values might claim. Your employees are watching this disconnect, making it impossible to build authentic culture without addressing these contradictions.Perhaps most valuable is our exploration of scaling challenges. Terri reveals how systems that work perfectly at 100 employees become critical bottlenecks at 500, emphasizing the need for scalable HR infrastructure planned well in advance. We challenge listeners to examine whether they've "duct-taped" their HR systems together through rapid growth, creating inefficiencies that are costing more than they realize.Ready to transform how you think about HR? This episode delivers actionable insights that will help you build leadership capacity, design systems for scale, and invest strategically in your greatest asset – your people.

In this episode, we explore how CEOs and entrepreneurs can step into authentic leadership that unites, inspires, and drives change.

With a career spanning government, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors, Neil has reinvented himself as a bridge builder and champion of authentic business leadership. Together, we unpack the unique role businesses play in today's culture and governance, and why trust, empathy, and purpose are no longer “nice to haves” but essential pillars of leadership. Neil also shares powerful insights from his book, which features stories of inspiring leaders and provides actionable steps for anyone who wants to move beyond inspiration to meaningful action. From cultivating moral leadership to embedding corporate social responsibility into a company's DNA, this episode challenges us all to consider what kind of citizen—corporate and personal—we want to be. Here are highlights: -The Trust Recession: Why Neil calls this moment in history a “trust recession”—and why business leaders are now more trusted than governments and media. -Shifts in the Workforce: The three major shifts reshaping the workforce: cultural diversity, generational expectations, and the demand for moral leadership. -Navigating Polarization: How leaders can unite their teams without diluting core values in today's divisive climate. -CSR as Strategy, Not Charity: Why doing good isn't just a feel-good exercise—it's good business, and how companies can integrate CSR into their DNA. -Purpose, Empathy, and Action: The pillars of Neil's book Do More Good and how small steps can drive outsized impact.

President Donald Trump held a tech summit last week where a number of notable tech CEOs and gurus—who previously were vehement opponents of Trump—met at the White House. This included former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, members of Google, and more. It's a quid pro quo: If major tech companies stop offshoring and start investing billions of dollars in the U.S. and create jobs, then Trump will approve their investments, productions, and use of greater energy sources. Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down and explains how this move is similar to what former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when World War II broke out on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “These CEOs don't like Trump. They're opposed to him ideologically, but they have one thing in common: They're patriotic.” “Maybe, just maybe, Trump can do for the United States in these emerging, absolutely essential fields of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, robotics, genetic engineering what FDR did in the War Production Board.”
What if the “panic habits” leaders default to are the very things burning out their best people? In this Partnering Leadership episode, Mita Mallick—author of The Devil Emails at Midnight—joins Mahan to unpack practical ways senior leaders can replace performative urgency with clear operating rules that people can trust. You will hear why bad bosses are made, not born, and how pressure from markets, role models, and personal crises can turn ordinary leaders into micromanagers.Mita gets specific about power dynamics. A 4:30 a.m. email from the CEO trains teams to jump, even when the intent is “no rush.” She explains how to set explicit after-hours rules and model them yourself. The goal is to stop the 4 a.m. back-and-forth and restore predictable rhythms for high-stakes work.Calendars signal culture. Mita argues for a deliberate meeting cleanse, real breaks, and protected one-on-ones. You will hear why “we are not AI agents,” why canceling a meeting can be the kindest move you make this week, and how simple touch points create loyalty.Leaders also get a playbook for honest feedback. Mita shares how to create safety, why alumni calls six to twelve months after someone leaves yield the most actionable insight, and how a short journaling habit helps you see patterns in your own behavior before they damage trust.Finally, Mita challenges a core assumption: most work is not life or death. Treating it that way creates burnout. She closes with a frank read on the broken employee–employer contract and a likely shift toward more consultant-style work, which makes clarity, expectations, and operating rules even more important for CEOs and boards.Actionable TakeawaysYou will learn how to set a clear after-hours rule that stops the 4 a.m. reply spiral, including what “urgent” actually means in your context.Hear how to replace micromanagement with outcomes and guardrails when life outside work feels out of control.You will learn why your calendar is your culture, and how a simple meeting cleanse reveals time for deep work and real one-on-ones.Hear how to protect one-on-ones without turning them into therapy. Mita shares a practical cadence and a simple check-in script that builds connection.You will learn a low-cost feedback system: invite coaching, thank in the moment, follow up with changes, and never hunt “who said what.”Hear how to get clearer truth with alumni calls six to twelve months after exit interviews, when the emotion is gone and facts are usable.You will learn to write simple hybrid rules that reduce proximity bias and make global teams feel fair and seen.Hear how to reset leader expectations about urgency and burnout, starting with this line: “Most of our work is not life or death.”You will learn why culture becomes the worst behavior you tolerate and how to intervene when disengagement starts to spiral.Hear how to prepare for a future with looser roles and project-based deployment, and why clarity and operating rules will be your retention edge.Connect with Mita MallickMita Mallick LinkedIn The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
