Have you ever felt like you're working harder than everyone else, yet still not getting where you want to go?What if the problem isn't your effort—but the fact that you've been trying to force a path that was never designed for you?In this episode, Erica sits down with Human Design expert, business strategist, and entrepreneur Karla Maree to explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can help you discover your purpose, make aligned decisions, and stop fighting against yourself.Karla shares how Human Design became a catalyst for her own transformation after a major life transition, helping her rebuild her confidence, trust herself again, and create a thriving seven-figure business by working with her natural strengths instead of against them.They also dive into the surprising intersection of Human Design and AI, and how technology can make personal growth, self-awareness, and clarity more accessible than ever before.Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling burned out, questioning your next step, or simply curious about Human Design, this conversation will leave you with a new perspective on who you are—and what's possible when you start honoring your design.
What if the fire you've been trying to escape is the very place God wants to birth something holy in you?This message explores what it means to be Born in the Burn—to encounter the Holy Spirit not just for a moment of manifestation, but for a lifetime of transformation. Through Saul's radical conversion, we're reminded that God can interrupt any road, rewrite any story, and call us by our true name before we've done a single thing for Him.Whether you're longing for fresh fire, feeling weary from performance, or searching for purpose, this message invites you back to the feet of Jesus. It's not just about doing more for God—it's about abiding in Him, being formed by His Spirit, and learning to keep in step with the One who still leads with fire.Scriptures:Acts 9:1–18; John 15:4–5; Galatians 5:22–25; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:13Get the Preach Notes:https://thelinccollective.coConnect with us:Website: http://lincchurch.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/lincchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/lincchurchPodcast: https://apple.co/2Jx8wG0#LINCchurch #LINC To support this ministry financially and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://lincchurch.com/giving
This week, Traci sits down with Chris Taylor, founder of Actionable.co, a company that helps consultants prove the impact of their programs and build deeper, longer-lasting client relationships through behavior change technology, the Impact Certainty Methodology, and a global network of peers. Chris has spent 18 years making the case that the entire L&D industry is stuck measuring the wrong things, and that closing this gap is one of the most powerful levers a business has for driving real, lasting results.FREE RESOURCE: Chris's team put together a free toolkit covering everything the data shows makes learning actually stick, with nearly an hour of training included. Grab it at toolkit.actionable.co.What We Cover:The knowing-doing gap: why consuming information is step one, and what it actually takes to get people to changeWhy 96% of business stakeholders believe L&D impact should be measured, yet less than 4% of programs do it wellThe three conditions for real behavior change: knowing how, having a strong enough reason, and a path that makes change easier than staying putStarting with strategy, not tactics: how aligning learning to business priorities changes every decision that followsThe content commoditization reality: why AI has made content delivery the least valuable thing a consultant or L&D team can offerSynchronous vs. self-directed learning and why async formats make sustaining behavior change nearly impossibleSocial scaffolding: why the people participants interact with daily outweigh top-down culture in driving changeWhat 100,000 behavior change commitments reveal about human motivation and willingness to growHow frontline leaders can drive real development even inside organizations that aren't walking the walkConnect with Chris Taylor: LinkedIn | Actionable.coConnect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

Both built companies, stumbled through first exits, and eventually landed on the investor side of the table.

Sitting on a boat going to the Statue of Liberty, staring at a stranger's beautifully worn cognac leather bag, something cracked open in Susanne Mariga that she hadn't felt since she was 20. A dream she set aside because it felt too risky, too impractical, too heartfelt back then.After an incredibly successful career building her own firm and recognition as a CPA and coauthor of the book Profit First for Minority Business Enterprises, she sold her practice in 2022. What came next? The most unexpected chapter of her career. But it was also a bit full circle. You see, way back when, Susanne chose accounting over fashion design… because it felt safer. Now at 50, she stopped wondering “what if” and answered the call. Just this past month she launched a luxury leather handbag brand called Florel. In this episode of REWARD: The Podcast of The Trust, Ali Brown sits down with Susanne for an honest conversation about identity after a big exit, starting over in a completely new industry, and why women who've already built something are often the best positioned to take the wildest swings.On this episode of the #REWARDPodcast, you'll hear:What her post-exit identity crisis really felt like (and why it hits harder than you think)The Profit First philosophy that made Susanne a cash millionaire — and funded every reinvention afterHow she sourced leather artisans in China and Italy AND why she got on the planes herselfWhat four rounds of samples taught her about getting it rightWhy The Trust was exactly the room she needed for honest, high-level feedback on her first bag (of course we love this one the most ;)) This episode is for the women who are ready to find out what they're capable of next!

The Money Deep Dive: Loans, Leverage, and the Cost of Day ZeroEpisode Summary: Happy New Year! We are officially in 2026, and we are kicking off the year with a masterclass in startup finance. To celebrate our recent win as Course Karma's 2025 Best Facebook Group for Business Management, we are diving straight into the "Day Zero" realities of Dr. Toni Torres and Bloom Dental Co.In this episode, Toni pulls back the curtain on the phase before the lease is signed. We explore the terrifying transition from being an associate to asking a bank for nearly a million dollars. If you have ever wondered how to negotiate with lenders, what insurance you actually need, or how to survive the first 90 days of "insurance lag," this episode is your tactical manual.Time-Stamped Highlights[11:20] – Dental School Doesn't Prepare You for This [12:30] – The First Phone Call: The Rep Connection [14:10] – Approval Before the Search The golden rule of startups: Do not look for a location until you know your budget. Toni explains why she prioritized the loan approval process to understand her square footage limits and avoid "exhausting" herself looking at locations she couldn't afford.[15:45] – Interviewing the Banks: How to Negotiate Terms Toni interviewed four different banks. She breaks down the "vibe check" of lenders and how she used a competing 14-year loan proposal to negotiate her preferred lender's monthly payments in half.[18:30] – Specialized Lenders vs. Big Banks A look at the difference between general banks and medical/dental specific lenders. Why specialized lenders understand the "insane" overhead of dentistry (plumbing, compressors, $130k CAD/CAM setups) that general business lenders might not.[20:10] – The Collateral and the Spouse's Role The weight of the "Personal Guarantee." Toni discusses signing for the loan with her husband, putting their home and investments on the line, and the emotional pressure of having a partner who fully believes in your vision.[22:00] – The Insurance Quadrant: Four Pillars of Protection Lenders won't release funds without these. Toni details the four types of insurance she had to secure:[26:40] – The First 90 Days: Managing Runway Cash Toni shares the "rollercoaster" of the first few months. She explains the reality of opening $7,000 shy of paying the bills due to "insurance lag" and why having at least two months of "runway cash" ($45k–$75k) is critical for survival.[31:15] – Building the "Dream Team" Connect with Toni:Instagram: @the.joyful.dentist • @bloomdental.coConnect with Ashley:Instagram: @ashleyjovesdds

His story is raw, hopeful, and deeply human.If you or someone you love is struggling with health, habits, or hope, this episode will stay with you.In this episode:• How Cal went from detox to 1,000+ days sober• The genetics behind cravings, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance• Why his lab markers dramatically improved in weeks• How personalized epigenetics reshaped his nutrition, mindset, and energy• The surprising role Diet Coke played in worsening his health• The Guardian health type and why knowing your phenotype matters• The emotional work that restored his confidence, relationships, and daily life• What truly creates a radiant life after decades of struggleAbout our guest, Callen Hoff:Cal is a Guardian to his core — devoted, steady, and shaped by a lifetime of service. From defending classmates as a kid to serving in the National Guard as a Sergeant and squad leader, he has always protected and supported others.Throughout his career in agriculture, Cal championed conservation farming and farmer success. He served as Board Member and Chairman of the Manitoba/ND Zero Tillage Farmers Association and led the North Dakota Dry Pea & Lentil Council, helping expand pulse crops across the region. Farmers still call him for mentorship and guidance.But his greatest challenge was personal. After retiring, alcohol dependency quietly took hold, and his health declined rapidly. In fall 2022, he made the courageous decision to enter treatment and commit fully to recovery.Today, Cal is over three years sober — healthier, more present, and grounded in what matters most. His transformation has restored his energy, deepened his marriage of 46 years to his wife, Julie, and increased the joy he finds with his two grandsons.His journey proves healing is possible at any age — and that change begins the moment we decide we're worth saving.RESOURCES:Show notes + links: healthyawakening.co/2025/11/24/episode95Connect with Susan: healthyawakening.coConnect with Kate: theradiantlifeproject.comPodcast: healthyawakening.co/podcastListening links: healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

In this episode of World's Greatest Boss, we dig into one of the biggest challenges service-based business owners face: balancing client growth with team health. My guest, Borja Cuan, co-founder of 415 Digital, manages over $280 million in ad spend every year—and he's built a thriving business by doing something most agencies won't: keeping workloads small so his team can go deeper, deliver better results, and stay engaged.Together, we explore:Why hiring ahead of need can transform client experiences.The real reason employee retention is harder than ever—and how to handle it.How to spot overwhelm before it becomes burnout (and what to do about it).Why investing in personal well-being outside of work is just as important as managing workload inside of work.The overlooked power of relationship building and spending non-work time with your team.Borja's approach flips the typical agency model on its head—and his insights on retention, loyalty, and workload management will challenge how you think about leading your own team.By the end of this episode, you'll have fresh ideas for keeping your people motivated, building loyalty, and leading a team that doesn't just survive—but thrives.Connect with me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiemkoch/Find more information on my website: https://peopleprinciples.coConnect with Borja Cuan on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/borjacuanFind more information about Four15 Digital: https://four15digital.com/
