Software Engineering Radio - The Podcast for Professional Software Developers
Software architect and author Vlad Khononov joins host Jeff Doolittle for a discussion on balancing coupling in software design. They start by examining coupling and its relationship to complexity and modularity. Vlad explains the historical models for assessing coupling and introduces his updated approach, integration strength, which aims to simplify earlier frameworks and adapt them for modern practices. The episode explores three dimensions of coupling: integration strength (knowledge sharing), distance (proximity of components), and volatility (likelihood of change). Vlad illustrates how design decisions can lead systems toward complexity or modularity, and he emphasizes the importance of managing coupling to minimize cognitive load and cascading changes. The conversation wraps up with insights on applying these principles to real-world software projects and a reminder of coupling's critical role in software architecture.

In today's episode, we're diving into the topic of “culture”–what it is, where it came from, and how recent thinking challenges our assumptions. One key idea we'll be looking at is that culture isn't a rigid, unchanging force pushing people apart but rather a dynamic interplay of multiple influences that can unite us if we learn how to forge a shared sense of belonging. By exploring this idea, we'll see how moving beyond the notion of “clashing cultures” can open up more productive and inclusive ways of working together.Reference:Rathje, S. (2011).

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again for another incredible episode: Human trafficking, satanic ritual abuse and Jesuit mind control survivor and whistleblower, published writer and author, mother, educator, blogger, and one of our most beloved and requested guests, Svali!A short overview about Svali in case you're new here or have missed any of Svali's episodes on this podcast - Svali has been a voice for survivors for years now through her blogs ‘Svali Speaks' and ‘Svali Speaks Again', and the books she has authored including, “Breaking Free of Cult Programming” - which has help lay the foundations for what we know today about cults, trauma-based mind control, deprogramming, secret societies including the Jesuit order, the history of the Illuminati and so much more, as well her brand new 3-part testimony series, “Never Give Up”, which gives a first time deep dive into Svali's own testimony and life. Born and raised in a cult and having experienced horrors beyond comprehension, Svali broke free of her cult group several years ago and has been on a quest to share the knowledge that she has learned from personal experience to help set others free. There are years of eye-opening information on her blogs, and her books give a very concise and no-nonsense look at the underworld of mind control and the underlying mechanisms to which it is orchestrated, used generationally, and hidden from society. Today, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone - the release of the third and final installment of her testimony memoir on Amazon, “Never Give Up Part 3: Getting Free”. This book series not only unveils untold stories from her life but also offers profound lessons in resilience, hope, and the miraculous journey of healing.In today's episode, we'll delve into some critical topics like Immortals and Delta programming, specifically how these are used in the Jesuit Order for memory and skills storage. We'll also explore the pathways to healing and recovery, offering support to survivors and those who assist them. A reminder that Svali's insights are drawn from her own personal experiences within the Jesuit Order and they highlight one aspect of mind control but are not universal to all cult groups and practices. And also a quick Trigger Warning to survivors as we will be discussing sensitive subjects related to mind control programming, parts, and systems. Please proceed with care.Svali stands before us today as a testament to what the human spirit can overcome. Her journey from the depths of cult control to liberation is nothing short of miraculous, and we are truly honored and blessed to have her share her wisdom with us today once again.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 615, And It's About Valuation Beyond Numbers: Enhancing Your Construction Business Worth When valuing a business, most people think straightforwardly about profits. While financial success is undoubtedly critical, it's far from the only factor determining a business's actual worth. Understanding valuation complexities can offer small business owners and entrepreneurs a clear roadmap for sustainable growth and long-term success. While financial metrics are undoubtedly important, they do not provide a complete picture of a construction company's worth. For contractors and builders, understanding the nuances of business valuation can pave the way for sustainable growth, effective investments, and successful transitions, whether selling the business or attracting stakeholders. Here is a fresh perspective on what makes a business truly valuable. We'll discuss traditional valuation metrics, the non-financial factors influencing worth, and practical strategies to enhance value. The Importance of Business Valuation Business valuation isn't just for companies preparing for sale or investment. It's a powerful tool that helps you understand your business's health and identify areas for improvement. A valuation gives you insight into whether your construction business is structured for long-term sustainability or is at risk of operational inefficiencies, market challenges, or other pitfalls. Think of it this way: knowing your business's valuation is like running a health check. It gives you a snapshot of financial health, considers external factors, and ensures your company is ready to tackle challenges or opportunities that come your way. If valuation isn't already part of your business planning, it's time to make it one. Traditional Valuation Metrics Traditionally, business valuation has relied heavily on financial metrics. Two commonly known approaches include: Earnings multipliers This method involves multiplying a business's annual revenue or profits by a standard industry-specific figure. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis DCF looks at a business's projected future cash flows and discounts them to present value, providing an estimate that accounts for risk and time. While highly detailed, this method depends heavily on accurate forecasts. These approaches are undoubtedly helpful but don't tell the whole story. A construction business can be profitable yet fail to secure a high valuation due to overlooked non-financial factors. Beyond Profits: The non-financial factors that matter While profits are essential, they're only the beginning of the valuation equation. Non-financial factors can significantly influence how much your business is worth: 1. Market Demand and Competitive Landscape It's not just about how much profit you generate today—it's about your position in the market. Is the demand for your product or service growing, or is the market becoming saturated? Are competitors innovating faster than you? A future-proof business consistently assesses market trends and adapts to stay relevant. Pro Tip: Conduct regular SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis to understand your edge in the market. 2. Operational Risks Operational risks can make the most profitable contracting business unattractive to potential buyers or investors. For example: Does the business rely heavily on an individual owner, a single key employee, or one major customer? Are there documented systems and processes, or does the business suffer from inefficiencies? Think of these risks as red flags that could threaten scalability and sustainability. 3. Reputation and Brand Image Your brand's reputation isn't just about avoiding bad press—it's a key driver of trust among customers, clients, and partners. Businesses with a loyal customer base and a positive reputation often command higher valuations. Real-Life Example: A one-person remodeling company with a loyal local following may receive a higher valuation than a larger one with profits but poor customer reviews. 4. Innovation and Adaptability How well does your business innovate? Construction businesses that embrace new technologies and methods are typically more resilient. Failure to adapt to changing technologies or market dynamics can cause even profitable enterprises to stall. Businesses that thrive on creativity invest in Research and Development, are ahead of the curve, and demonstrate resilience, which adds immense value during valuation. Key Question: Is your company actively curious about emerging trends and technologies? 5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance Compliance isn't just about avoiding lawsuits—it's about showing that your business operates responsibly. Construction companies must comply with a myriad of regulations. A solid compliance record can improve a company's valuation by reducing risks related to potential lawsuits or fines. Demonstrating responsible operations assures buyers that your business is trustworthy. 6. Team Strength and Cohesion The quality and stability of your workforce can influence valuation. A skilled, experienced, and well-coordinated team enhances productivity and project delivery, making the business more attractive to potential investors or buyers. High employee turnover can signal underlying issues and be a red flag to prospective investors. Warning Sign: Frequent employee turnover can signal a toxic workplace culture, directly impacting valuation. Strategies for maximizing business value To increase valuation, focus on both profitability and these often-overlooked factors: Diversify revenue streams: Reduce reliance on a single product, service, or client to decrease operational risk. Document processes: Streamline workflows and document systems to make the business more scalable. Build a lasting brand: Invest in customer experience, brand identity, and online presence. A strong brand pays dividends in terms of valuation. Foster a strong team: To retain top talent, provide training, career development opportunities, and a positive workplace culture. Stay innovative: Review and refine your business model regularly to meet changing market needs. The role of innovation, compliance, and team strength True innovation, regulatory compliance, and a skilled team create a synergy that elevates your business value. These three pillars foster trust and sustainability: Innovation keeps you competitive. Compliance helps avoid costly legal issues. Team strength ensures the knowledge and talent needed for long-term growth. Final thoughts Unlock your business's actual value. Valuing a construction business encompasses much more than simply analyzing profits. To truly understand your company's worth, consider financial and non-financial factors. Focusing on market position, operational efficiency, and innovation can enhance your company's valuation and ensure long-term success in the competitive construction industry. Valuing a business is never just about profits. Understanding traditional metrics and exploring non-financial factors can position you for long-term success. Whether you're gearing up to sell or want to ensure your construction business thrives, a balanced approach is key. Want advice to boost your business value? Contact us.

Wayne Turmel is a co-founder of the Remote Leadership Institute, and co-author of The Long-Distance Leader and The Long-Distance Teammate. Wayne provides insights into the evolution of the workplace, the challenges of remote and hybrid work, and how leaders can adapt to these seismic changes. Wayne emphasizes the importance of intentionality in remote leadership and explores how technology, communication, and accountability shape successful remote teams. He introduces practical frameworks like the “3 Cs” of culture: Communication, collaboration, and cohesion. He explains why trust is at the heart of remote work, and covers the pitfalls of micromanagement, the necessity of proactive behavior in teams, and the role of leaders in navigating the complexities of hybrid work. Key Takeaways [03:15] Wayne reflects on the technological advancements that have revolutionized remote work. He mentions how tools like Zoom, Slack, and Teams replaced older platforms like Skype for Business, transforming communication and collaboration. He explains that the pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote work, turning what was once a prediction into a global reality. [05:12] Wayne explains that trust is essential for remote work to succeed. He outlines three key elements: a shared mission, effective use of technology, and accountability. Trust enables team members to rely on one another, and without it, remote teams can struggle to function. [06:41] Wayne highlights the need for intentionality in remote leadership. Unlike in-person settings, remote leaders can't rely on casual interactions or physical cues to gauge how their team members are doing. Instead, they must proactively check in, build relationships, and create opportunities for engagement. [13:03] Wayne introduces the “3 Cs” of culture: Communication, Collaboration, and Cohesion. He explains how teams can intentionally design their culture by focusing on how they communicate, how work is done, and how team members connect. He shares practical examples, like creating informal Slack channels for casual conversations, to foster connections. [18:23] Wayne emphasizes the importance of proactivity. Great teammates go beyond their job descriptions—they step up during meetings, reach out to struggling colleagues, and contribute ideas. Proactivity builds trust and strengthens team dynamics, which is critical in remote settings. [25:40] Wayne argues that micromanagement undermines trust and creates unnecessary stress. Instead of focusing on how much time employees spend logged in, leaders should evaluate their teams based on outcomes and contributions. Micromanagement often leads to frustration and disengagement, both for leaders and employees. [31:42] Wayne notes that 70% of white-collar work now involves writing, yet many employees haven't been trained in effective communication. As remote work relies heavily on emails, chats, and written reports, he encourages leaders to invest in improving their team's writing skills to ensure clear and effective communication. [44:36] Wayne believes the future of work isn't just about where people work but how they work together. He stresses the need for intentional strategies that balance productivity, flexibility, and employee engagement. For leaders, adapting to these changes requires focusing on outcomes, fostering trust, and maintaining a clear vision. [46:49] And remember, “We should be in constant evolution and adapt to the new without ever losing our essence or our integrity.” - Pedro Capo Quotable Quotes "Trust is the glue of remote work; without it, teams can't thrive." "Remote leadership requires intentionality in every interaction." "Culture doesn't happen by chance; it's built through communication, collaboration, and cohesion." "Micromanaging remote teams is a fast track to frustration—for both leaders and employees." "Great teammates are proactive, productive, and long-term thinkers." "Leadership isn't about where people work; it's about how they work together." "The world has changed, and so must our approach to work." "The future of work isn't just remote; it's intentional."

MK Propaganda and the Global Cohesion of Slaves by The Zeph Daniel Experience
Suffering for Christ means suffering not in vain. The world is …… Wrong—the world, they say, is what they claim it is — a science project. There is no such thing as satanism, satanic abuse, satanic ritual abuse, human trafficking, etc. The purveyors of said propaganda are usually satanists themselves.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Teams don't build themselves. They are delicate, fragile and unstable. They need constant care and attention from the leader. Despite the sexiness, a team of stars is not what we want either. They will always lose to a star team, a united front of uncompromising commitment to each other and to winning. Here are some things to think about when building and maintaining the team. 1. The Role Of the Leader One of the better metaphors for leaders is the orchestra conductor. They are uniting and harmonising a group of stars to work together. Each person brings their specialist role, talent and commitment. The leader is the one to glue the team together. The leader creates the environment where the team can coalesce around the tone, direction, culture, values, vision and mission. Central to achieving this cooperation is the leader's communication and people skills. The trust won't be created by a bumbling, disorganised, incoherent, selfish, small minded person claiming the glory for themselves and basing their leadership mantle on their received status power. 2. Identifying Strengths One of the follies of leadership, and I speak from deep experience here, is trying to fix the gaps and weaknesses of the people in the team. We can easily find our time is tied up in resuscitation efforts for people who are struggling or underperforming. We are better to have a mix of people, with a variety of skills, talent and abilities and work across the sum of the whole, rather than trying to put band aids on their weaknesses. By definition, 80% of the team are producing 20% of the results. We need to get more out of the 20% producing 80% of the outputs. This is the true alchemy through informed division of labour. 3. Clarity Around Responsibilities The worst part of being a leader is thinking people are clear on what they need to do. You have told them right? Then you find they are not doing what you expected or need. Part of this is the fact that a single communication is never sufficient. We cannot just bark out orders and then wander off. We need to manage the people and their work, without micro-managing and pulverising them into submission. We need to keep abreast of progress. If things are not working, then we need to know about it early and intervene to right the ship. 4. Encouraging Collaboration Teams are usually small affairs, even in big corporations, because people are divided into sections. In this modern high-tech era, that invariably means people are doing a lot and are super busy. This doesn't lend itself to having excess bandwidth to help others in the team or even more vitally, helping people in other sections. We also have the danger of the leader trying to unite their tribe by making the other section's tribes the enemy. This is a disaster. The true enemy are the opposition team in the rival company. We need to make them the bad guys, not our own colleagues. That doesn't stop ambitious leaders from trying to gain advantage internally, by using their team as a weapon for supremacy, domination and relentless ladder climbing. The leader's job is to contribute to the entire enterprise effort and make sure the firm wins in the marketplace. 5. Proactive Team Building The leader has to create the opportunities for the team to get together. These could be Town Halls, brainstorming sessions, team lunches and dinners or any other excuse to get the group together. With work from home so prevalent, the team members don't see each other every day, as they usually did before Covid. Team projects are a good tool for getting people from different sections together who normally may not have a chance to work with each other. It introduces diversity into the creative process and creates the human bonds needed to keep everyone together. I am such a business genius and guru. I hired four new people in January 2020, seconds before the pandemic wrecked the training industry. One of them drew her secure salary happily every month through the devastation and simply up and quit at the end of Covid. Ouch. She was in her late twenties when she joined the firm and spent the pandemic working for us from her room in her parent's house in Shinjuku. I realised later that she didn't have any close friends inside the company and so it was easy for her to depart. Yes we had meetups online, but it wasn't enough and not the same as being together in-person. This was my first pandemic, so I made a number of leader mistakes during Covid as a result. This is not a comprehensive list of items on the subject of team building, but there is plenty of food for thought to get to work on. The leader is the driver here. We go for role clarity and keep reviewing what is working and not working. Retaining our talent is the name of the game for the modern leader in population declining Japan and if we make a mess of it, the penalties are potentially fatal. Team building never goes out of fashion or relevance. The problem is we are never properly trained for this part of the role and we bumble along through trial and error. We all need to do a better job of educating ourselves in this regard. The best time to start was yesterday and the second best time is today.
#cuttheclutter After an unexpected but good performance in Lok Sabha polls, the Congress-led INDI alliance lost embarrassingly in Maharashtra and exposed faultlines in the Haryana Assembly elections. In episode 1560 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta dissects structural issues within the alliance, the contradiction in ideologies, distrust between alliance partners, conflicts of interest, and an apparently overpowering aura of the Congress. He also looks back at the life of Maharashtra's first Chief Minister Yashvantrao Balwantrao Chavan on his death anniversary. Chavan served in the Nehru-Gandhi Union cabinets as External Affairs Minister, Defence Minister, Home Minister, and even Deputy PM. Known for modernizing India's military, Chavan's memory may be lost due to the Congress' institutional amnesia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read ThePrint's National Interest on Congress' dilemma between survival and revival https://theprint.in/national-interest/congresss-central-dilemma-since-1989-survival-or-revival/2329168/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To know more about Y B Chavan, you can refer to the following books: Debacle to Revival: Y.B.Chavan as Defence Minister, 1962-65 by R.D.

Hard to fathom but has published at least one paper in our top journal in every decade of its existence. Izak has been doing IS scholarship for almost fifty years, which makes him the perfect researcher to talk to about how the field has changed, where it is going, whether we are progressing well, and whether we maintain the optimal balance between social and technical, internal and external views of IS phenomena in our research.

We cover why new luxury focuses on knowledge rather than just price ,the Commerce Thinking team's Field notes from cities and how it reveal consumers interests, why community plays a crucial role in modern retail, how luxury experiences can sometimes feel intimidating, how brands like Kith, Arket and Rapha are approaching retail, and of course, our final thoughts on whether experiential retail is underrated, overrated or just rated.

With an emphasis on the organization, Margie works with senior leaders and leadership teams to become cohesive, high-performing teams – which translates to high performance among their own teams. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Margie Oleson discuss:The gap between knowing and practicing leadershipTeam cohesion and communicationEnhancing meetings for better productivity and cultureLeadership's impact on company culture and performanceThe importance of openly discussing behaviors and accountability Key Takeaways:Leadership development is a company's most important investment, as strong leaders drive success and influence everyone else in the organization.A lack of alignment in leadership teams creates silos, miscommunication, and dysfunction, which can be resolved by ensuring top teams share and communicate the same goals.Ineffective meetings waste resources and signal larger issues, but addressing root causes like politics, fear of missing out, and silos leads to a cultural and productivity shift.Leadership sets the tone for the organization; when senior leaders fail to model alignment and transparency, it trickles down, creating a culture of mediocrity and disengagement that stifles progress and innovation. "Culture is the outcome of how you're leading your decisions, the things you say, the things you don't say, and the things you reinforce.” — Margie Oleson Connect with Margie Oleson: Websites: https://www.topteamaccelerator.com/ & https://www.oleson-consulting.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@margieoleson891LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margieoleson/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In the final part of a two-part episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with my son, Skyler, for a heartfelt and meaningful conversation about our shared musical journeys. In this episode, I dive into my gap year after high school, during which I taught drum lines and percussion ensembles. I talk about the challenges I faced as a teacher and how they shaped my understanding of communication and connection. From there, I reflect on my time at Belmont University, where I studied classical and commercial music. One standout memory from those days was playing John Cage's Third Construction and the invaluable lessons that came with it.I also share stories from my time playing gigs on a cruise ship, a job that pushed me in ways I hadn't expected. It was demanding, but it prepared me for the next phase of my musical journey—transitioning to bass guitar. That shift opened up new opportunities and gave me a different perspective on music. I talk about how playing bass connected me with some incredible musicians and the importance of locking in with great drummers to really understand rhythm and groove.Throughout the episode, I reflect on my experiences playing alongside musicians like Tommy Dodd and Scott Meeder. Each one left a mark on my career, teaching me lessons I carry with me to this day. I also talk about the importance of chemistry on stage and how those connections often extend beyond the music. Wrapping it all up, I share my gratitude for the opportunities I've had and the people I've met along the way.Thank you for tuning in!

What is the connection between alcohol and innovation? How does alcohol help enhance trust and cooperation? Why is it important not to think about alcohol consumption through a medical lens alone? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Edward Slingerland, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and the author of Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks Giveaway One of you will win a bottle of Gary Farrell wine. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose one person randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights What's Edward's take on the quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway about writing drunk and editing sober? How did Edward use this strategy when writing the book proposal for "Drunk"? What role did alcohol play in Edward's first lecture as a graduate student? How did the first pub on the University of British Columbia campus lead to a major research collaboration on the evolution of religion? What is the "Ballmer Peak," and how does it relate to alcohol and creativity? How does alcohol help enhance trust and cooperation in large-scale societies? Why did problem drinking increase significantly during the pandemic? What was the most surprising insight Edward discovered while writing "Drunk"? Why is it inadequate to look at alcohol consumption through a medical lens alone? What are the three objects Edward would include in a museum exhibit about himself? Who would Edward most want to share a bottle of wine with? Key Takeaways What is the connection between alcohol and innovation? It's a double effect in enhancing individual creativity and reducing inhibitions. Alcohol also enhances group creativity because individual members are more creative. They're also less nervous about saying something that your prefrontal cortex would judge as not worthy when perhaps it's a great idea. We have to recognize both the dangers and the benefits of alcohol to make intelligent decisions about how to use it. About Edward Slingerland Edward Slingerland is a Distinguished University Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, where he also holds appointments in the Departments of Psychology and Asian Studies. He is also Director of the Database of Religious History.

SEASON 10 The Learning Leader Daily Leadership Tips and Discussions Today we continue the topic of discussion about how Team Leaders in the same organization need to be consistent and have cohesion… they need to be a united front! Today will be about the importance of being a united front and the benefits of it. Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult for a group of leaders to norm or be consistent? Well, it's because every leader is unique and has their own style and way of leading their team. By coming together and forming a bond in your organizations leadership team, you can begin norming better than ever before. I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team. This is certainly no different when you have a group of leaders together. In order for them to work together in unison, they have to begin by knowing each other very well. That's where the DISC comes in, so I will mix the DISC behavioral styles in throughout this series. I am a DISC Certified Trainer and Consultant and have worked with behavioral styles for over 20 years. I am certified through the John Maxwell Leadership Team and have worked with hundreds of teams. If you are interested in having me work with your team leaders or if you want to purchase a DISC assessments for yourself and your team, please contact me via email at Paul@CLCTeam.com If you want to dive in deeper, here are some great books to read and study about the behavioral styles: “Surrounded by Idiots” by Thomas Erikson https://amzn.to/3yZ4Jwk “Full Spectrum Success: Living and Leading in True Color” by Jacob Adamo https://amzn.to/3Mcsnsd “The Four Tendencies” by Gretchen Rubin https://amzn.to/4ctegtq “Wired That Way” by Marita Littauer. https://amzn.to/3SNW8n4 “Personality PLUS” by Florence Littauer. https://amzn.to/3X05WNi Thank you for listening.

Ryan & Becca tackle a listener question today about the importance of having a cohesive style in pottery. Two Sisters Pottery includes a sibling duo creating work in varying styles today. We discuss the balance between creative freedom and branding, offering insights on how diverse styles can coexist within a single pottery business. Thanks for listening!Listener QuestionsOn this episode:- I've been doing pottery for several years now, but just got into doing it full time and making larger scale works (8lb+). I noticed when I have days I'm throwing all day that my lower back is just completely spent. Even just bending over the sink is really difficult to maintain balance at the end of a throwing day. I have very, very, very minor scoliosis which might also be contributing to this. I don't really notice this on days I'm throwing small pots, but only when I'm centering larger amounts. Do you have any tips, tricks, or even certain exercises to minimize physical issues like this? I know Becca has mentioned she has carpel tunnel. I do wrist stretches but am not sure how to position myself so I don't have that much back pain (other than configuring a standing wheel). I'm only in my mid twenties and want to continue doing this for a long time @Hannahsceramicstudio- I'm wanting to know your opinion on having a cohesive look throughout your work. I've been doing pottery for over 3 years now and still in love with all the techniques that are possible. Maybe there is more cohesiveness than I think but how important is that for a business do you think? This is my sister and my page as she also does pottery. Her style is much more whimsical and there's also not many of her works as she doesn't do this nearly as much as I do. Thanks for answering!

Send us a Text Message.We all want to be better preachers and deliver more powerful sermons. We want our sermons to have cohesion. Cohesion is “ the act of cohering, uniting, or sticking together.” We want our sermons to stick. If our sermons are to possess cohesion, they must have three elements: Unity, Order, and Purpose.Unity means a whole or totality, combining all its parts into one.Order is a condition in which each thing is properly disposed of concerning other things and its purpose; it is a systematic or harmonious arrangement.Purpose is an intended or desired result.In this episode, I will discuss the keyword and the transitional sentence and give you two ways to improve your next sermon. Adding these two elements to your sermon preparation will improve your next sermon.Ask Ralph - Christian FinanceJoin financial expert Ralph Estep, Jr - Daily tips for balancing your faith and finances.

Whether you're a marketer, event organizer, community leader, business executive, or content creator, the path to achieving your desired success comes down to cultivating ideal experiences. Without that, nothing can be built, established, or mobilized within the minds of people. What makes someone pay to come to an event? What makes someone watch or read content? What makes someone buy something, anything? An experience that drove curiosity! An experience that created a need or want. And an anticipated experience of the outcome after. But how do we harness that? Where do we start? This episode will break all of that down in a simple, understandable way, as taken from my live virtual keynote presentation.Beyond The Episode Gems:All Frameworks Covered Are From Troy's Book, Strategize Up: StrategizeUpBook.comSee The Video Version Of This Live Keynote PresentationDownload HubSpot's State Of Marketing Report for FreeDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Discount Off Riverside & Try For Free #####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews• Follow Troy's LinkedIn @FindTroy• Get Strategy Solutions & Services: GrowWithTroy.com• Follow Troy's Instagram @FindTroy
