[THE DISTINCTIVE EDGE CLIENT CASE STUDY] What if your marketing didn't just work… it actually made you feel more regulated? In this longer, laugh-out-loud-and-then-get-a-lump-in-your-throat conversation, Meg sits down with Tasha and Brandon (Rules & Rebellion)—burnout business strategists who support heart-centered business owners with Complex Life Circumstances (their term: CLC). If you've ever tried to follow someone's "post every day + hustle harder" blueprint and felt your nervous system slam the brakes… this episode will feel like someone finally telling the truth out loud. Tasha and Brandon share what it's like to build a business while navigating layered realities—ADHD, parenting, perimenopause, chronic stress, flare-ups, caregiving, life transitions—without pretending discipline alone is the answer. They talk about why so many business strategies feel like "duct tape on a Lamborghini," and what changed when they anchored their message in a clear framework and values-led positioning that actually fits real life. We also get into tangible results: how they used a relationship-based private invite strategy to bring in $6,000 more in sales between December and January than ever before, and why the bigger win wasn't just money—it was creating systems that made the business feel safer and more sustainable. And if you've ever thought, "I can't keep doing this… but I also can't not do this work," Tasha's closing message is basically a mic drop. In this episode, we cover: What "Complex Life Circumstances (CLC)" actually means—and why it changes how you market and sell Why most strategies feel like duct tape on a Lamborghini for high-capacity people with layered lives The difference between stabilizing your nervous system vs just soothing it How a framework gives you one clear way to explain what you do (and reduces daily decision fatigue) What changed when they stopped "spraying the internet" with content and started selling with a clear process How private invites work when you're not trying to be templated, pushy, or weird The underrated result: building systems that help you have a business and a life Why your message can't survive on "$27/month energy" if you're here to make real impact How autonomy inside a program creates better results than copy/paste "be like me" coaching Memorable moments / quotes: "It felt like duct tape on a Lamborghini." "It was energizing versus depleting." "I can't not do this work." "You can't survive on $27 a month if you're here to deliver a real message." "Meg never asked us to be her—she asked us to get out of our own way."

Most parents are doing everything they can to raise good kids, and still feeling exhausted, reactive, and unsure if they're actually helping in the long run.So much parenting advice is obsessed with today's behavior: listening, sharing, cooperating, “being good.” But this episode zooms out and asks a much bigger question: Who are you raising your child to become?Kristin sits down with parenting researcher, Whole Parent founder, and author Jon Fogel to challenge one of the most deeply ingrained ideas in parenting: that control and obedience create resilient kids. Together, they unpack why obedience can look like a win in the short term, while quietly undermining confidence, resilience, and emotional health over time: and what actually builds those skills instead.They explore how everyday power struggles shape the adult your child will eventually become, why so many well-intentioned discipline strategies backfire, and how shifting from rules to values can completely change your home dynamic.This episode will:* Help you shift your focus from short-term obedience to long-term emotional health* Reframe discipline as skill-building, not behavior control* Clarify the difference between rules and values — and why values actually stick* Explain why yelling is a nervous system issue, not a discipline strategy* Give you a framework for parenting with respect, boundaries, and authorityThis conversation will change how you think about discipline, power, and success in parenting. It's for parents who want to stop micromanaging behavior and start raising confident, capable adults, without losing boundaries or authority along the way.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

They prevent them.What you'll learn:The 4-step framework (Acknowledge, Clarify, Solve, Advance) that works for any objectionWhy "overcome" is the wrong word, and what to say insteadThe difference between early objections (obstacles) and late objections (true objections)Word-for-word scripts for: "I have it through work," "I don't need it," "I can't afford it," "I just want the car insurance," "I need to talk to my spouse," and "I need to think about it"The questions that seed doubt and create demand without being pushyWhy I stopped saying "life insurance" and what I say insteadThis isn't theory.

The stationery scramble matters… but not as much as your child’s heart. In this powerful back-to-school episode, Justin and Kylie share the real checklist that sets kids up for confidence, calm, friendships, and resilience—without over-engineering the morning routine or forcing a perfect bedtime. Whether your child is starting school for the first time or changing schools for the fourth time, these strategies make Week 1 smoother and the whole year emotionally healthier. KEY POINTS The basic supplies are not what define success—keep them simple and stress-free. Three non-negotiables before Day 1: emotional check-ins, “who’s got your back” planning, and relationship connection. Why rehearsing the morning routine and enforcing strict early bedtimes are overrated. The 4-Part Real Checklist that changes the entire school year: How Can I Help? — support their goals instead of setting them. Daily Check-In Questions that build resilience, kindness, and social insight. Friendship Audit — understanding who they spend time with and how to support healthy social worlds. Activity Opt-Out Audit — letting kids quit activities that drain them and choose ones that light them up. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “When kids define success on their terms and know we’re in their corner, they’re amazing.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Personal Progress Interviews (PPI) Daily Check-In Questions for connection Friendship Audit steps Family Meeting framework ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Hold a relaxed emotional check-in before school starts (in bed, at the beach, on a walk). Clarify “who’s got your back” at school—teacher, counselor, friend, parent. Ask one Daily Check-In Question at dinner or bedtime. Run a Friendship Audit: learn names, build contact, create unstructured hangouts. Run an Activity Opt-Out Audit: “If we weren’t already doing this, would you choose it today?” Give permission to drop activities that feel like obligations, not joys.

What if the reason your launches feel exhausting…isn't how much you're doing, but how fragmented your message has become? In this episode of Business Not As Usual, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I realized while prepping for my mastermind kickoff:

There's a reason growth feels harder now than it did a few years ago. The market changed, but a lot of the advice didn't.Some guidance that once helped gyms survive is now quietly limiting how far they can go.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple — the podcast designed to cut through the noise around gym growth. Each conversation breaks marketing, sales, and leadership down into practical systems boutique gyms can actually apply, without relying on luck, burnout, or outdated playbooks.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, the conversation takes a hard look at why so many boutique gyms struggle to scale and how outdated mentorship advice plays a major role. The discussion challenges the long-standing belief that paid ads are unnecessary or risky, especially when the most successful fitness brands invest heavily in marketing. This episode reframes marketing as a requirement for modern gym growth, not an optional add-on.Episode OutlineWhy many mentorship companies discourage paid ads—and where that advice falls apart.How major franchises like Orange Theory and F45 actually approach marketing spend.The danger of staying loyal to advice that no longer matches the market.When “fundamentals first” becomes a ceiling instead of a foundation.Why bring-a-friend promos can't replace consistent marketing systems.How professionalism and perception influence buying decisions.The importance of predictable marketing instead of reactive tactics.Recognizing when it's time to find more advanced guidance.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Marketing Strategies for Boutique Fitness Gyms04:06 Challenges with Mentorship Companies' Advice07:23 The Importance of Paid Ads and Marketing Investments07:38 Strategic Planning for Gym Owners23:31 The Role of Marketing in Gym Growth23:44 The Impact of Marketing on Gym SuccessAction TakenRe-evaluate current marketing advice and where it's coming from.Look at what successful gyms are doing, not just what's being recommended.Clarify long-term goals: exit, expansion, or sustainability.Start treating marketing as an investment, not an expense.Track numbers and make decisions based on data, not opinionConclusionWhat holds many gym owners back isn't a lack of effort or commitment—it's staying tied to advice that no longer matches the reality of today's market. As competition increases and consumer expectations shift, the margin for outdated thinking gets smaller. This episode challenges gym owners to step back, question long-held assumptions, and make decisions based on where the industry is now, not where it used to be.CTAIf this conversation hit close to home, take time to reassess the marketing systems currently in place and compare them to what thriving gyms are actually doing today.Supporting Information

I recently sat down with my dear friend and author, John Loxley to discuss the fundamentals of sobriety. John is 15 years sober and works in mental health services in the UK. We weren't talking about shiny breakthroughs or dramatic transformations. We were talking about the basics — the things that quietly keep sobriety intact, year after year. Because here's the truth: most people don't relapse because they don't know enough. They relapse because they slowly stop doing the things that keep them emotionally regulated, supported, and self-aware. This episode was a reminder of what really matters.     Lesson #1: Early Sobriety Is a Learning Phase — Listening Matters One of the first things we talked about was listening. When people are new to sobriety, there's often a strong urge to explain themselves, justify their story, or be understood. I remember feeling that way myself — desperate to make sure someone got me. But recovery starts to shift when listening becomes the priority. Listening to people who've been there. Listening to patterns. Listening instead of reacting. There's a time to talk — especially with sponsors, therapists, or trusted friends — but meetings and early recovery spaces are often best used as classrooms, not stages. Takeaway: You don't need to have the answers. You just need to be willing to learn.     Lesson #2: You Can't Do Sobriety Alone (No Matter How Independent You Are) A lot of people want to get sober "on their own." Not because they're lazy — but because they're private, capable, or burned by past systems. But isolation is where addiction thrives. Whether it's 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, therapy, coaching, or peer support — connection isn't optional. You don't need everyone. You need someone. And just as important: those people aren't there to fix you. They're there to walk with you.     Lesson #3: Sobriety Has to Stay the Top Priority This might be the most important lesson from the episode. Anytime sobriety stops being the priority — even years in — things start to unravel. Not always dramatically. Often quietly. You stop meditating. You stop checking in. You stop telling the truth. You stop doing the practices. And slowly… your nervous system takes over. John shared a powerful story about going on vacation, feeling great, and unintentionally leaving his recovery behind — only to realize how quickly emotional chaos can return when the practices stop. Sobriety isn't something you "graduate" from. It's something you maintain.     Lesson #4: Identity Drives Behavior One thing I'm passionate about is identity. You're not trying to get sober. If you didn't drink today, you are sober. Every sober action is a vote for the kind of person you're becoming. Instead of obsessing over what's wrong with you, it can be incredibly powerful to ask: Who do I admire? What traits do they embody? What small actions would reinforce those traits? Sobriety is the foundation — not the finish line.     Lesson #5: Triggers Are Teachers (Even Though We Hate That) We talked a lot about triggers — emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation in front of us. If a response feels disproportionate, it's almost always about the past. Triggers aren't signs that you're failing. They're invitations to heal. When something activates fear, shame, or rage, there's usually something unresolved underneath. And once you work through it — whether through therapy, journaling, EMDR, or self-inquiry — that trigger loses its grip. There's often real growth hiding underneath discomfort.     Lesson #6: You Don't Need to Win — You Need to Understand One of the most relatable moments in the conversation was about conflict. Many of us learned early on that arguments are about winning. But there are no winners in emotional battles — only distance. A simple shift like: "Help me understand how you feel" "This is what I'm hearing — is that right?" can completely change the outcome of a conversation. Feeling understood often dissolves the fight entirely.     Action Steps You Can Take This Week If you want to apply what we talked about, start here: Choose one daily recovery practice Meditation, journaling, meetings, movement — consistency matters more than intensity.

Clarify your identity Write down 5 character traits you want to embody — then choose one small daily action that supports them. Strengthen accountability Make sure there's at least one person you can be fully honest with — without editing yourself.     Resources Mentioned in This Episode 12-Step Recovery Programs – For connection, structure, and accountability SMART Recovery – A non-12-step alternative focused on tools and self-management Atomic Habits by James Clear – Identity-based behavior change Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Judson Brewer – Understanding habit loops and emotional patterns Meditation & Journaling – Daily practices for emotional regulation EMDR Therapy – Trauma-focused healing for emotional triggers Guest Contact Info: 

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the strategies and mindset shifts that elevate coaching businesses to elite status. The hosts explore the concept of the "upgrade effect," break down lessons from world-class entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Dana White, and share real-world stories of perseverance, resilience, and client impact. Whether you're looking to sign more clients, level up your identity, or create lasting change in yourself and your business owners, this episode delivers actionable insights and frameworks you can apply today. Key Topics Covered The Upgrade Effect for Lasting Change Karl Bryan introduces the "upgrade effect"—the idea that real growth starts with upgrading identity, not just chasing better outcomes. He shares a flywheel model connecting mindset, beliefs, values, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves, encouraging coaches to focus on root identity shifts for meaningful, sustainable success. Lessons from Elite Entrepreneurs: Elon Musk's Five-Step Problem-Solving Karl Bryan distills Elon Musk's approach: Define clear requirements Eliminate what's not needed Simplify and optimize Accelerate cycle time Automate last—not first He connects this framework to product development, coaching delivery, and ensuring you're solving the right problems before optimizing or automating. Characteristics of High-Performing Coaches Elite coaches love measurement, accountability, and competition. They seek feedback, practice to improve, take radical ownership, and avoid victim loops. The hosts emphasize focusing on building who you are, not just what you have. Perseverance and the Dana White UFC Story Karl Bryan shares the saga of Dana White and UFC: relentless setbacks, repeated rejection, ghosting from networks, and eventually a billion-dollar turnaround. The lesson? Real impact comes from what you refuse to give up on—even when success feels impossible. Creating Long-Term Coaching Value The conversation moves from chasing clients and revenue to designing businesses that are tight, profitable, and systematized. The hosts challenge coaches to build companies that could be sold tomorrow (but are so enjoyable, you wouldn't want to). Notable Quotes "The real upgrade is identity first and then outcomes. It'll make the outcomes last—for you and your clients." —Karl Bryan "If it's not measured, it's underperforming—the elite tend to be measurement geeks." —Karl Bryan "You'll be remembered for what you refuse to give up on." —Karl Bryan "True intelligence isn't about being a high performer. It's measured by getting what you want." —Karl Bryan, paraphrasing Naval Ravikant "The goal is to make you wildly profitable. That's why you hired me. Let's stay on the railroad tracks." —Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Upgrade Your Identity First: Pause on chasing outcomes—start by shifting the stories and beliefs you hold about yourself. Encourage clients to do the same for lasting transformation. Always Measure Performance: Use data, leaderboards, and progress tracking to motivate elite behavior—for yourself and clients. "What gets measured, gets improved." Focus On Solving the Right Problems: Don't spend energy optimizing broken systems. Clarify requirements, eliminate waste, and simplify before automating. Practice Relentless Perseverance: Refuse to quit when setbacks hit. Study stories like UFC's Dana White—most breakthroughs come after the biggest obstacles. Serve and Study Before Selling: Give genuine value up front. Study the greats rather than envy them; ask questions and listen more than you justify or explain. Design Businesses for Profit and Fun, Not Just Size: Help clients build lean, profitable companies they enjoy running—rather than chasing bloat or revenue for its own sake.

The Retire Sooner Podcast welcomes Clark Howard alongside Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase for a special episode focused on market history, long-term investing principles, and today's most talked-about financial transitions. The conversation emphasizes context over commentary and highlights how investors often think through uncertainty, change, and market structure. • Highlight Clark Howard's perspective on Warren Buffett stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at age 95 and the transition to Greg Abel. • Review Berkshire Hathaway's long-term role in markets and why its history is frequently referenced alongside the S&P 500. • Frame why long-term market participation is commonly emphasized during periods of leadership change at iconic companies. • Discuss why Clark Howard views this transition as the close of a defining chapter in modern investing history. • Explain how Berkshire Hathaway's conglomerate structure differs from traditional private equity, including transparency and fee considerations. • Examine growing market concentration and the shrinking number of U.S. public companies—and why those trends continue to matter. • Outline how exposure to both public stocks and privately held businesses is often discussed when considering diversification. • Summarize several big-picture themes shaping 2026 conversations, including artificial intelligence, tax-refund dynamics, and election-cycle uncertainty. • Clarify what “dry powder” means and how cash, money market funds, and select bonds are commonly described in retirement safety discussions. • Address listener questions by reviewing general considerations around investing settlement proceeds, tax-advantaged accounts, and dividend-oriented ETFs. This episode offers a thoughtful conversation featuring Clark Howard with Wes Moss, focused on long-term perspective rather than short-term reaction.

Hey sister, We've spent the last couple weeks reflecting and letting go — and that work matters. But here's where most people stop. They release… They get clarity… And then they drift right back into the same patterns. So this week's podcast asks the question that changes everything: What do you actually want? Not what you should want. Not what looks good on paper. Not what keeps everyone else comfortable. But what you desire for your life — and what it will require to honor that. In this episode, I talk about: Why desire feels uncomfortable (and why that's not a bad thing) How to tell the difference between intuition and pressure Breaking desire into real-life categories so it doesn't stay vague Turning what you want into realistic, aligned action — without overwhelm If you're tired of living on autopilot and ready to move forward with intention, this one's for you. And if this stirred something in you and you know you need support, you don't have to do this alone. You can work with me through one-on-one coaching or inside the Collective — both are linked in the show notes. You don't need the whole plan. Just the next honest step. Have questions for me? Let's set up a call. Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com Jump in the collective here: https://setfreesisterhood.thrivecart.com/set-free-sisterhood-collective/    

I recently sat down with my dear friend and author, John Loxley to discuss the fundamentals of sobriety. John is 15 years sober and works in mental health services in the UK. We weren't talking about shiny breakthroughs or dramatic transformations. We were talking about the basics — the things that quietly keep sobriety intact, year after year. Because here's the truth: most people don't relapse because they don't know enough. They relapse because they slowly stop doing the things that keep them emotionally regulated, supported, and self-aware. This episode was a reminder of what really matters.     Lesson #1: Early Sobriety Is a Learning Phase — Listening Matters One of the first things we talked about was listening. When people are new to sobriety, there's often a strong urge to explain themselves, justify their story, or be understood. I remember feeling that way myself — desperate to make sure someone got me. But recovery starts to shift when listening becomes the priority. Listening to people who've been there. Listening to patterns. Listening instead of reacting. There's a time to talk — especially with sponsors, therapists, or trusted friends — but meetings and early recovery spaces are often best used as classrooms, not stages. Takeaway: You don't need to have the answers. You just need to be willing to learn.     Lesson #2: You Can't Do Sobriety Alone (No Matter How Independent You Are) A lot of people want to get sober "on their own." Not because they're lazy — but because they're private, capable, or burned by past systems. But isolation is where addiction thrives. Whether it's 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, therapy, coaching, or peer support — connection isn't optional. You don't need everyone. You need someone. And just as important: those people aren't there to fix you. They're there to walk with you.     Lesson #3: Sobriety Has to Stay the Top Priority This might be the most important lesson from the episode. Anytime sobriety stops being the priority — even years in — things start to unravel. Not always dramatically. Often quietly. You stop meditating. You stop checking in. You stop telling the truth. You stop doing the practices. And slowly… your nervous system takes over. John shared a powerful story about going on vacation, feeling great, and unintentionally leaving his recovery behind — only to realize how quickly emotional chaos can return when the practices stop. Sobriety isn't something you "graduate" from. It's something you maintain.     Lesson #4: Identity Drives Behavior One thing I'm passionate about is identity. You're not trying to get sober. If you didn't drink today, you are sober. Every sober action is a vote for the kind of person you're becoming. Instead of obsessing over what's wrong with you, it can be incredibly powerful to ask: Who do I admire? What traits do they embody? What small actions would reinforce those traits? Sobriety is the foundation — not the finish line.     Lesson #5: Triggers Are Teachers (Even Though We Hate That) We talked a lot about triggers — emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation in front of us. If a response feels disproportionate, it's almost always about the past. Triggers aren't signs that you're failing. They're invitations to heal. When something activates fear, shame, or rage, there's usually something unresolved underneath. And once you work through it — whether through therapy, journaling, EMDR, or self-inquiry — that trigger loses its grip. There's often real growth hiding underneath discomfort.     Lesson #6: You Don't Need to Win — You Need to Understand One of the most relatable moments in the conversation was about conflict. Many of us learned early on that arguments are about winning. But there are no winners in emotional battles — only distance. A simple shift like: "Help me understand how you feel" "This is what I'm hearing — is that right?" can completely change the outcome of a conversation. Feeling understood often dissolves the fight entirely.     Action Steps You Can Take This Week If you want to apply what we talked about, start here: Choose one daily recovery practice Meditation, journaling, meetings, movement — consistency matters more than intensity.

Working with transcripts can feel overwhelming. Client calls. Workshop recordings. Interview transcripts. Pages and pages of raw material—good ideas buried under tangents, half-finished thoughts, and off-the-cuff remarks. The problem usually isn't lack of content. It's too much of it! In this episode, I walk you through a simple, repeatable workflow I use to turn messy transcripts or rough notes into a clear, usable outline—without losing the nuance that actually matters. If you've ever dropped a transcript into AI, asked it to "summarize this," and felt underwhelmed by the result… this episode will show you a much better approach. What You'll Learn Why asking AI to "summarize" is usually the wrong first move How to give AI better signal by starting with context, not content A practical, copy-and-paste prompt for structuring messy transcripts How to preserve nuance, tension, and unresolved thinking Where AI's role ends... and where your judgment matters most Key Ideas Covered in This Episode 1. The Real Risk of AI Summaries AI summaries are often: Clean Organized And emotionally flat When you ask AI to summarize too early, it tends to: Smooth over tension Resolve ambiguity prematurely Erase the very moments that make the thinking interesting But those messy moments are often the most valuable parts of a transcript! 2. Start With Context Before Content Before pasting anything into AI, clarify: What this material is (a client call, interview, workshop, etc.) What you're trying to create (article outline, memo, talk, case study) Who it's for What matters more here: clarity, persuasion, or depth This framing alone dramatically improves the output. 3. Don't Hide Your Own Thinking If you were part of the conversation—or listening closely—you already have insight. You noticed: Patterns Tensions Strong opinions What felt important (even if you're not sure why yet) Dump that thinking into the chat. You can literally say: "Here are my rough and random thoughts so far. None of this is locked in." That gives the model far better signal than a raw transcript on its own. 4. Ask for Structure—Not Writing Before asking AI to write anything, ask it to: Identify themes and recurring ideas Group related concepts into buckets Flag contradictions or unresolved thinking Preserve nuance instead of smoothing it out You're looking for a skeleton here. That's it. 5. A Simple Prompt You Can Use Here's the exact type of instruction I recommend at this stage: Take the role of a skilled research assistant helping me make sense of raw thinking without oversimplifying it. Study the transcript I've attached, along with my rough notes and early thoughts. Nothing here is finalized. I need you to: · Identify the main themes, tensions, and recurring ideas · Group them into a clear outline · Flag nuance, contradictions, or unresolved thinking · Do not write prose, conclusions, or clean summaries This keeps the AI in the right lane. 6. Where Your Role Becomes Clear Once you have structure: You decide what stays You decide what moves You decide what gets cut or combined AI gives you a map. Now it's up to you to choose the route. At this point, writing becomes easier. Not because AI wrote it for you, but because the thinking is no longer chaotic. The Big Takeaway Think in layers. So instead of asking AI to finish the job in one move, use it to: Identify patterns Clarify structure Reduce cognitive load When used this way, AI amplifies your judgement. And that's the goal: to let smart tools handle the grunt work so you can focus on framing, meaning, and persuasion. Listener Reflection Here's the question I'll leave you with: What part of your current workflow would benefit most from letting AI point out patterns while you keep the final call? If you found this episode useful, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss future conversations on using tools thoughtfully, without giving up your edge as a creative professional.

Why do so many well intentioned financial goals fade before they ever become reality? In this episode of Money Made Faithful, John Putnam explores the often overlooked power of financial vision and why clarity, not discipline, is usually what determines whether goals are achieved or abandoned. Drawing from scripture, research, and practical experience, John invites listeners to slow down, lift their eyes, and focus first on where they are truly headed before determining the steps to get there. With the help of a guided goal achievement workbook and a prayerful vision design exercise, this conversation helps transform hopes into clear direction and faithful progress. In this episode, John discusses:  Why clarity of vision is often a missing link between setting financial goals and actually achieving them The difference between vision and planning—and why a clear vision must come first How a lack of financial clarity can lead to drifting with your money, even when your intentions are good The biblical foundation for vision, drawing from Acts 6 and Proverbs 29 A practical, prayerful vision exercise to define what you want your financial life to look like by December 31, 2026 Key Takeaways: Many people struggle to achieve financial goals not because they lack discipline, but because they lack clarity about where they are headed. Vision begins in the heart and provides direction before steps, plans, or tactics ever come into focus. Without a clear destination, even good financial actions can leave us drifting and slowly pull us off course. When financial vision is grounded in prayer rather than pressure, it creates peace, focus, and momentum for faithful progress. “With a clear vision before you, walking step by step in your unique role within God's greater story, you can move closer to him, closer to each other, and closer to the life He's calling you to steward faithfully.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL! 2026 GOAL ACHIEVEMENT WORKBOOK: https://moneymadefaithful.com/resource-library-access/Landing-page VISIT MONEY MADE FAITHFUL: https://moneymadefaithful.com/ GET FREE RESOURCES when you join THE HUB: https://moneymadefaithful.com/resource-library-access/Landing-page BOOK A WORKSHOP & DETAILS: https://moneymadefaithful.com/money-made-faithful-workshop-2/Landing-page INVITE JOHN TO SPEAK at your conference, church, or event:  https://moneymadefaithful.com/services SPECIAL SAVINGS ON JOHN'S BOOK, 'He Spends She Spends', and the small group guide: https://moneymadefaithful.com/shop FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: @MoneyMadeFaithful FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @MoneyMadeFaithful Article: Psychology Today - posted January 1, 2025 - "92 Percent of People Never Achieve Their Goals = Steps to join the successful 8 percent who achieve their goals." : https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/optimizing-success/202412/92-percent-of-people-never-achieve-their-goals If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!

When tension spikes, leaders don't rise to the occasion; they fall to their default. Today we dig into those defaults with Bill Benjamin, co-author of The Last 8%, and unpack why smart, well-intentioned people either blow up or go quiet when it matters most—and how to do better without losing your edge.We start by naming the two patterns that quietly define culture under pressure: the messmaker who reacts with heat and the avoider who retreats to keep the peace. Bill explains the brain science behind both, from cortisol searing memories to the fear of social judgment that feels like physical pain. That lens changes everything: people remember you in the hard moments, not the easy ones. So we get practical. Bill shares SOS—Stop, Oxygenate, Seek information—as a simple, reliable way to step out of fight-or-flight, regain working memory, and turn certainty into curiosity. Small moves like a sip of water, open palms, or one deep breath can buy the six seconds you need to choose a better response.We then move into preparation for planned hard conversations. Clarify the exact last 8 percent you must say, set a positive intention that signals safety, and ask open questions so the other person talks first. You'll hear why many people self-diagnose if given space, how to draw out their last 8 percent, and how to model being coachable without giving up standards. We close with tactics to reset a reputation: share your growth edge with genuine vulnerability, invite real-time cues from your team, and follow up to measure progress. The result is a culture where people trade ego for empathy, certainty for curiosity, and silence for shared truth.If this sparked an insight, share it with one person who needs it. Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app, and leave a quick review to help more leaders find the show. Which are you under pressure—messmaker or avoider—and what last 8 percent will you tackle this week?

Before you set another goal for your business, I want you to pause. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that has completely changed the way I approach growth and why ambition without alignment can actually cost you more than you realize.We're talking about the hidden price of our goals — the time, peace, money, and relationships we unknowingly trade in the name of “success.” I share both personal stories (including a $600,000 lesson) and patterns I see in high-achieving entrepreneurs who feel burned out, overbooked, or off-track.Here's what we dig into:Why you shouldn't set goals until you ask these 3 questionsThe difference between Operator Goals vs. Visionary GoalsA real-life story that forced me to choose peace over profitThe CEO Cheat Codes that help you lead with integrityHow the Big Next Operating System helps you build aligned successThis isn't about dreaming smaller, truly it's about building a business and life that actually feel good once you get there.Resources from this episode:20 Cheat Code AI Prompts to Run Your Business Without You https://luminaryleadershipco.com/noforceYour Big Next Operating System https://luminaryleadershipco.com/operatingsystem-waitlistShow notes: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode309Connect with me:Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/If there's a topic, a question or a guest you want to hear on the show or an idea you have for us, just reach out and share that at marketing@luminaryleadershipco.com.

Oh, They are Mad! with Darrin Peppard Power Quote: “Listen more, talk less.”  Teaser:Here's the email I received that inspired this episode: I'm wondering if you have an episode of your podcast focusing on dealing with unreasonable parents. This year has been exceptionally difficult regarding the attacks I'm receiving from parents.  Either they are offended when I discipline their child because their child is innocent, or they are offended that I disciplined their child without contacting them prior to the discipline so they can solve the problem for me.  I understand that discipline should not be the focus of my day and it typically is not.  I also try really hard to make sure 20% of the kids do not consume 80% of my time.  But how do I not allow the parents to consume me?  In each case, the student has owned it, accepted the consequence and moved on… while at school.  Then they get home and tell a different story about a big bad AP who is targeting them.I have some knowledge in this area but wanted some additional expertise so I'm partnering with my friend and colleague Darrin Peppard of the Leaning Into Leadership podcast and we are recording our conversation to be simulcast on both shows.

What To Do With a Frustrating Employee In Your Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down one of the hardest parts of owning a clinic: dealing with a talented but frustrating employee. You know the type. Great with patients, solid outcomes, but sloppy with systems, notes, and follow through. Danny walks through the three real options you have, why "letting it slide" destroys culture, and how to use a performance improvement plan to either turn things around or coach someone out. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The classic pattern of the friendly, high-output clinician who struggles with systems Why tolerating mediocrity from one person lowers the standard for your entire team The three options you have with a frustrating employee (and the one most owners avoid) How to build and run a simple, effective performance improvement plan (PIP) Why leadership and standards matter more than any one hire How "coaching people out" protects your culture and your A-players Questions to ask yourself about your onboarding, training, and systems Claire: Get Your Attention Back on Patients Danny opens with a reminder of how fast documentation can pull your attention away from patients. As PTs, we pride ourselves on building rapport and relationships, but it is hard to do that when you spend half the session staring at a laptop.

You hire someone you like. They are a good culture fit. Patients love them. Outcomes are strong. But behind the scenes, they: Drag their feet on notes and documentation Ignore or half-follow systems and processes Show up a little late, miss small details, or respond slowly to emails and Slack They are not a disaster. They are not a clear liability. But they are not meeting the standard either. That gray area is exactly where most owners get stuck. First, Own Your Part as the Owner Before you blame the employee, Danny challenges you to look in the mirror. Have you: Actually trained them on your EMR, project management tools, and communication systems? Explained why those systems matter (data, tracking, meetings, outcomes, marketing)? Given them clear expectations, examples of "done right," and time to practice? Most owners are busy and rush onboarding. They throw people into the deep end with a few screen-share videos and hope they figure it out. Then they get mad when the systems are not followed. Your Three Options With a Frustrating Employee Once you are honest about your own role, you really have three options: Let it go. Accept that this person is just this way. They are good with patients, weak with systems, and you live with it. Let them go. Fire them for not following processes and creating extra work for others. Create a performance improvement plan. Sit down, define what needs to change, and track progress over a set period. Danny explains why the first option is the most dangerous. When you tolerate one person ignoring standards, everyone else sees it. Your A-players start to wonder why they are working so hard. Support staff quietly resent the extra work. The real standard becomes "we say we care about systems, but we do not enforce them." How to Build a Performance Improvement Plan The go-to approach in Danny's companies is a structured performance improvement plan (PIP). It usually looks like this: Define the specific problems (late notes, missing CRM updates, slow responses, etc.). Clarify why each behavior matters to the business and the team. Decide what is truly necessary for the role and remove anything redundant. Set clear, measurable expectations for the next 4–6 weeks. Meet weekly to review progress, answer questions, and coach them on better workflows. Make it clear this is a non-negotiable standard if they want to keep the role. This is not about punishment. It is about support, clarity, and accountability. The PIP gives the employee a real chance to succeed with your help. What Usually Happens Next Once you run a real PIP, you tend to see one of two outcomes: They turn the corner. With training and clear expectations, they improve their systems work, become more efficient, and turn into a strong long-term hire. They opt out. They resist change, make excuses, and realize this is not a place where they can do whatever they want. They often resign on their own. Either way, you win. You either save a good clinician by giving them structure or you protect your culture by making it clear that standards are real. Leadership, Standards, and A-Players Danny points out that your best people are always watching how you handle situations like this. A-players want: Clear standards and consistency Leaders who follow through, not just talk about culture Teammates who pull their own weight When you avoid hard conversations and let someone slide, your A-players lose respect and start looking elsewhere. When you hold the line, they respect you more and see your clinic as a place worth investing their energy. The Hard Work of Real Leadership Leading people is often the limiting factor in whether a clinic ever scales. It is not manual skills. It is not marketing hacks. It is your willingness to: Have tough, honest conversations Take responsibility for training and support Set standards and enforce them consistently Spend time coaching people, even when you feel "time poor" That work is uncomfortable, but it is the difference between a team that drifts into mediocrity and one that grows with you for years.

Most founders are terrified of "Red Oceans" or markets saturated with massive competitors. They think the only way to win is to find a completely untapped "Blue Ocean." In this episode of the ProductLed 100 series, Wes Bush sits down with Patrick Thompson (CEO of Clarify.ai) and Esben Friis-Jensen (Co-Founder of Userflow) to discuss why entering a crowded market is actually the smartest move a founder can make if you have the right strategy. Patrick reveals how he spent six months interviewing potential customers before writing a single line of code for Clarify, an autonomous CRM designed to disrupt the industry giants. Together with Esben, they break down the exact framework for validating problems, the power of business model disruption through pricing wars, and why "feature parity" is not the goal. Whether you are building a new startup or trying to carve out space in a competitive category, this episode offers a masterclass in customer discovery, positioning, and Go-To-Market execution. Key Highlights: 02:15 : Why Patrick spent 6 months on discovery before writing a line of code 06:53 : The "Red Ocean" Advantage: Why crowded markets are easier than Blue Oceans 10:10 : How to differentiate when features are commoditized 12:34 : Using price and ease of use as a wedge against incumbents 18:31 : The 3-Step Framework for building what people want: ICP, Channels, and Business Model 23:12 : Which acquisition channels actually work (Product Hunt vs. Founder-led Marketing) 30:04 : Why complex products still need human onboarding, even in PLG 36:49 : How to operationalize customer feedback for engineering teams Resources:
