    What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to ignore the experts? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kara Goldin, Founder of Hint Water and bestselling author of Undaunted, to reveal what it really takes to build a brand, a company, and a category from the ground up. From rejection and industry pushback to Goliath competitors and well-meaning “experts” who swear your idea won't work, this conversation is a blueprint for staying unshakably committed to your vision, even when no one else understands it. Here's what you'll learn: Why bold ideas are doubted before they're celebrated — and how to push forward anyway How to distinguish genuine insight from the limiting beliefs of others What it takes to stay persistent when you're creating something no one has ever done before If you want a real-world example of what unwavering commitment can create, this episode is it. ---- Show Notes: 04:32 — Why Kara says she never would have started Hint if she knew how difficult the journey would be. 06:34 — What it took to create a completely new beverage category and convince buyers it mattered. 08:57 — The moment a senior Coca-Cola executive dismissed her idea and told her Americans “love sweet.” 12:51 — How Kara learned to separate genuine expertise from limiting beliefs disguised as advice. 16:06 — What watching Ted Turner build CNN taught her about conviction and pursuing ideas others doubt. 22:01 — How giving up Diet Coke for her own health became the unexpected catalyst for creating Hint. 30:56 — How little she actually knew about the beverage industry and why that ignorance helped her innovate. 35:25 — How landing Starbucks became a breakthrough moment that suddenly reversed without warning. 39:07 — Why Kara believes dark days don't last forever and how unexpected opportunities follow adversity.

    If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Why do we spend thousands on workouts and supplements, but treat sleep like an afterthought, and how is it hurting our performance?   I talk with Jill MacRae and Lori Oliver, co-founders of The Inactive Company, a sleep performance business focused on developing products and technology. They brought complementary expertise from companies like SPANX, Starbucks, and Coca-Cola to solve the sleep epidemic. We discuss how they moved past their own sleep struggles—Jill with staying asleep, Lori with falling asleep in a constant state of high cortisol. They created a sleep mask using patent-pending technology that achieves complete blackout, regulates temperature, and includes eye pockets to integrate science into a functional product. They emphasize that sleep is the only human performance factor you cannot replace and explain how consistency and daily routine shifts fix sleep.   Key Takeaways ●     Jill MacRae struggled with staying asleep as she got older, and she realized training herself to sleep better improved her health, focus, and performance; she even developed pneumonia because she wasn't sleeping well. ●     Lori Oliver struggled with falling asleep because she "lived in cortisol world" while managing large teams and traveling internationally, meaning her brain was constantly trying to solve problems and could not wind down. ●     Complete blackout is the number one factor important to signal the brain and body to produce melatonin naturally. ●     Creating a Pavlovian response by making the bed a "sacred space" (only for sleeping and sex, not working or watching TV) helps the body recognize that it is time to turn off when you enter the room. ●     Consistency is the key to adopting good sleep habits, whether that means a consistent bedtime, wake time, or nap time. ●     If you wake up in the middle of the night, Jill advises a "reset": get up, drink water, use the restroom, and then lay back down to break the cycle of swirling thoughts. ●     Lori advises using breathing techniques (two inhales, one big mouth open exhale) while in bed to reset cortisol levels and calm the brain. ●     Strenuous exercise should be avoided two hours before bedtime, but light movement like walking after dinner helps digestion and limits blood sugar spikes that can wake people up.   Resources ●     Website: https://inactiveco.com ●     Instagram: @the_inactive_co https://www.instagram.com/the_inactive_co ●     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-inactive-company   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients. ●      Website: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ ●      Book: The Million Dollar Body Method ●      Lean Energy Stack: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/pages/lean ●      Instagram: @_milliondollarbody

    Gobernanza y transparencia como pilares de permanencia En las empresas, la gobernanza, la transparencia y la capacidad de transmitir y evolucionar son los factores que permiten perseverar y perdurar en el tiempo. Cuanto más claridad, orden y reglas bien definidas existan, mejor. Primero: transparencia. Segundo: visión de largo plazo. No podemos quedarnos atrapados en problemas coyunturales, como los aranceles de un año determinado. Los problemas, muchas veces, han generado las mejores oportunidades. La clave está en avanzar con enfoque y pensar siempre en el largo plazo. Más que cambiar la misión, FEMSA ha fortalecido lo que ya existía: el valor social como parte integral de su propósito. Hoy, esa misión combina valor económico y valor social de forma inseparable. De lo financiero a lo operativo: redefinir el enfoque estratégico Durante la década de los noventa, la compañía vivía bajo un enfoque predominantemente financiero. Este esquema generaba una distracción inconsciente respecto a lo operativo y lo estratégico. La liquidez es oxígeno: sin flujo, no hay supervivencia. Esa perspectiva llevó a redefinir la estrategia empresarial, trasladando el foco del resultado financiero a la gestión operativa y al fortalecimiento estructural. Enfoque y especialización: crecer desde lo concreto FEMSA se propuso satisfacer al consumidor de bebidas con excelencia. Apostó por una estrategia enfocada, casi contraria a la diversificación. La segunda meta fue duplicar el valor de la empresa cada cinco años, y lo logró 4.5 veces consecutivas durante las dos primeras décadas. Integración organizacional: hablar un solo idioma Uno de los retos más importantes fue la fragmentación interna. Las divisiones operaban de forma aislada, sin comunicación entre sí y con criterios contables distintos. La solución fue clara: integración total. Se estableció un solo idioma contable, reuniones periódicas y protocolos comunes. Las juntas ejecutivas incorporaron a todos los directores del grupo, no solo a los de Coca-Cola o del parque industrial. Legado y valores: el liderazgo que se hereda Las enseñanzas de figuras como Don Isaac Garza y Don Eugenio han sido fundamentales. Desde 1890, la empresa conserva en Secretaría todas las actas de Consejo. El orden, la gobernanza y el aprecio por la educación se mantienen como pilares. Uno de los grandes aprendizajes dentro de FEMSA ha sido la importancia de mantener informados e involucrados a los accionistas de control. Las reuniones periódicas y el respeto por la estructura de gobernanza son hoy una práctica inquebrantable. Cultura organizacional: atraer talento y cuidar la esencia FEMSA es hoy una de las compañías con más empleados en México y América Latina, con más de 400 000 colaboradores en 20 países. La relación con ellos es crítica: la cultura debe cuidarse, mantenerse y rejuvenecerse constantemente. Atraer talento con valores y principiossólidos es fundamental. La ética no se negocia: se respeta o se pierde. Internacionalización: aprender país por país Cada país tiene su propia dinámica. En Brasil, por ejemplo, la flexibilidad laboral es mayor; en Coca-Cola, las reglas operativas son distintas. FEMSA ha sabido adaptarse gradualmente a cada contexto. La comunicación ha sido un factor clave: se promueve la libertad para expresar ideas y la seguridad psicológica para hacerlo. Escuchar y mantener contacto directo con los empleados es esencial. La internacionalización ha sido una experiencia intensa: abrir nuevos mercados implicó pérdidas iniciales, pero con cada expansión se alcanzó el punto de equilibrio más rápido.

    The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (12/10/2025): 3:05pm- Have technological advances over the last decade negatively impacted the mental health of young Americans? In an essay for the Free Press, Jonathan Haidt argues that Gen Z has lost its ability to focus, think critically, and often replaces meaningful relationships with simulations. If smartphones and apps have been psychologically damaging—what will the rise of artificial intelligence do? 3:15pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable discussion from the White House with several business leaders where he announced the launch of the Trump Gold Card: "The company can keep [employees] here, and they have a path to citizenship. Obviously, they have to be perfect people in America—and having passed the vetting, after 5 years, they'll be available to become citizens." 3:50pm- Is anyone answering the phones at the studio? Probably not. Plus, President Trump takes questions from the press. 4:05pm- While speaking from the White House, President Trump confirmed that the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. While speaking with Politico on Tuesday, Trump said that dictator Nicolas Maduro's “days are numbered” and would not rule out a ground invasion. 4:40pm- President Trump told Politico that his goal for Venezuela is to make sure its people are finally “treated well.” 4:45pm- Speaker Mike Johnson said he is “absolutely delighted that Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas” and that “it's one of the greatest things to happen to the Republican Party.” 4:50pm- Artificial intelligence is being used for strategic “price surging”—Matt has worthless knowledge and he's excited to share it. Plus, did the limited-edition holiday Coca Cola live up to expectations? It wasn't quite as “smooth” and “creamy” as Coke had promised. 5:05pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. Are the president's policies leading to lower energy prices? 5:30pm- Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath—Neuroscientist, Educator, & Best-Selling Author—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest essay for The Free Press, “We Gave Students Laptops and Took Away Their Brains.” Dr. Horvath responds to claims that “our children are less cognitively capable than we were at their age”—noting that “starting around the year 2000, something changed. For the first time in the history of standardized cognitive measurement, Generation Z is consistently scoring lower than their parents on many key measures of cognitive development—from literacy and numeracy to deep creativity and general IQ. And the early data from Generation Alpha (born after 2012) suggests the downturn isn't slowing—it's accelerating.” So, what's to blame? “The tools we are using.” He has conducted research and taught at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School. You can read the full article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/we-gave-students-laptops-and-took.

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl is joined by top-producing loan officer and team leader Sarah Cox, who breaks down her full 5 star client experience system and explains how she consistently turns borrowers into lifelong fans. Sarah shares how a simple Walt Disney quote on her desk sparked the idea for a client journey that feels thoughtful, tangible, and unforgettable in a world full of digital noise and lookalike lenders. You'll hear how she re-engineered every stage of the client path, from branded thank you postcards with QR-activated homebuyer guides, to glossy pre-approval packets that feel like a true milestone event, to sweet contract gifts, to a clear to close pizza box that creates excitement and earns glowing reviews. She even walks through the watercolor home magnets she gives at closing, a unique top-of-mind tool that stays on the client's refrigerator long after move-in day. Sarah and Carl also explore how these touchpoints spark more referrals, how she built the system so her whole team can use it, and how she's using this experience strategy to book more agent appointments than ever before. She opens up about what she learned from major brands like Disney, Apple, and Coca-Cola, why she believes loan officers should invest 8 to 10 percent of gross revenue back into marketing, and how this shift is helping her team close more loans with less chasing. If you want to separate yourself from every lender down the street and create a client journey that builds loyalty, referrals, and remarkable moments, Sarah's blueprint will show you how to elevate your entire business and become the person of interest that borrowers and agents are drawn to.

(Again) On the show this week we head back to 1985 when the Cola Wars took off for low orbit because Coke and Pepsi had money to burn. Along the way we learn that Dave never stood a chance at NASA. (They didn't make space suits in 5XL) Then we dive right into what the first astronauts ate in space. (Goo, they ate goo.) Then we head back down to the Earth where a Coca Cola executive had an idea that was out of this world, and how it turned into yet another vicious skirmish in the long running and increasingly bitter “cola wars”. We learn how Coke spent a quarter of a million dollars and Pepsi opened their medicine cabinet.  Finally we discover why sodas crashed and burned like a solid rocket booster in chilly weather.  (Too soon?). Our Sponsor this week is Tap Water, if you're thirsty get some.  We open the show with Coke in space and close with astronaut Chris Hadfield singing out sitting in a tin can.

    Dr. Deborah Clary on Building a Culture of Curiosity at Work

    "Curiosity isn't a soft skill. It's a performance capability—and organizations are paying the price for ignoring it." Summary What if the most powerful leadership capability isn't having the right answers—but asking better questions? In this On the Brink with Andi Simon episode, Dr. Deborah Clary, author of The Curiosity Curve, explains why curiosity is a measurable driver of performance, engagement, and innovation—and how leaders can deliberately rebuild it to create stronger, more human-centered cultures. Why Curiosity May Be the Missing Link in Leadership and Culture Change In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Deborah Clary, author of The Curiosity Curve and a purpose-driven leader whose work sits at the intersection of leadership development, organizational culture, and performance. What emerged from our conversation was both refreshing and deeply needed: a reminder that curiosity—something many leaders unintentionally abandon as they rise—may be the very capability organizations need most right now . Deborah's journey is anything but linear. Straight out of business school, she began her career not in a corporate office but as a route driver for Frito-Lay in Detroit—wearing a uniform, managing a route, and learning leadership from the inside out. That truck, she says, became her classroom. Over the next four decades, Deborah moved through senior roles at Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, and Humana, eventually earning a PhD focused on leadership development and organizational design. Yet it was her growing fascination with human behavior—what makes leaders effective and cultures thrive—that ultimately shaped her work today . What Is Curiosity—Really? Deborah defines curiosity simply but powerfully: being genuinely interested in yourself, in others, and in the situation at hand. It's not about having the right answers. It's about asking better questions—and staying open long enough to explore them. That distinction matters, especially in organizations where leaders often believe their role is to know, decide, and direct. As Deborah shared, many leaders become "incurious" not because they lack interest, but because time pressures, performance demands, and past success reinforce the idea that they must always have the answer. Over time, curiosity is treated like a luxury—when in fact, research shows it is a driver of performance . The Engagement Crisis—and Why Leaders Matter More Than Ever One of the most striking parts of our conversation focused on employee disengagement. Gallup data shows engagement levels at historic lows, with millennials—now a critical segment of the leadership pipeline—showing especially high levels of disengagement. When Deborah and her research team conducted focus groups, they found a consistent theme: "My leader doesn't know me—and doesn't seem to care to know me." This wasn't about surface-level recognition or personal details. Employees wanted leaders to be curious about their ideas, their aspirations, and how they could contribute meaningfully. In other words, they wanted leaders who asked thoughtful questions instead of simply providing directives. Curiosity, Measured—and Made Actionable What makes Deborah's work especially compelling is that curiosity isn't treated as a vague personality trait. Through a validated assessment, she measures curiosity across four dimensions: Exploration Openness to new ideas Inspirational creativity Focused engagement In one executive team she worked with, the results revealed a powerful—and uncomfortable—truth. While most executives scored high in curiosity, the CEO did not. The organization was struggling with innovation, market share, and retention. When the data was shared openly, the CEO recognized that his resistance—not the team—was the bottleneck. His willingness to acknowledge this became a breakthrough moment for the organization . That story underscores a central theme of the episode: leaders shape culture not by intention alone, but by how open—or closed—they are to curiosity. Watch our podcast on YouTube. From Short-Term Answers to Long-Term Leadership Curious leadership, Deborah explained, is about playing the long game. The short game is giving answers. The long game is exploring possibilities, testing ideas, and learning from outcomes—even when they fail. This requires psychological safety. Leaders must normalize statements like, "I don't know—let's explore this together."When leaders model curiosity, they give others permission to think, experiment, and grow. Over time, this builds confidence, ownership, and engagement across the organization . Why This Matters Now? In fast-changing markets, yesterday's solutions rarely solve tomorrow's problems. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated assumptions, rigid hierarchies, and fear of failure. As an anthropologist, I see this pattern often: cultures resist change even when change is essential. Curiosity interrupts that pattern. It helps leaders see what they've been missing, hear voices that have been quiet, and test new ways forward. In Deborah's words, curiosity is contagious—and learnable. It can be rebuilt, one question at a time. If you're a leader navigating uncertainty, disengaged teams, or stalled innovation, this conversation offers both insight and hope. You don't need all the answers. But you do need the courage to ask better questions. And that may be exactly what helps you—and your organization—get off the brink.
