In this episode, I explain why integrating your business and personal life, rather than trying to balance them, is the key to building a sustainable and fulfilling advisory practice. After over 30 years of coaching financial advisors, I've seen that the traditional idea of balance often leads to burnout rather than breakthroughs. That's why I teach advisors to use a strategic calendar and design a business that supports their ideal life, not the other way around.

Adjust your physical and digital environments to support success. Practice grace but also discipline—remind yourself why you started. Featured Quotes: “Don't rely on discipline alone—build systems that do the heavy lifting.” “Your habits are creating your future, whether you realize it or not.” What's Next: You've got the tools. You've got the awareness. Now take action. Design your habits, and you'll design your results. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes that build on high-performance routines, mindset shifts, and behavior hacks that move the needle.   --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how to improve team collaboration in software development through the lens of AI-driven insights. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a tight-knit team, or scaling across departments, collaboration remains the backbone of efficiency and success. What Does Collaboration Mean in Development? AI kicked off the discussion with a powerful insight: define “efficiency” in context. But more importantly, it highlighted that collaboration fuels efficiency, not just working faster, but working better. Effective collaboration avoids: Redundant work Misunderstood requirements Tech debt and burnout Rob emphasized that a productive team isn't rushing through tasks but solving the correct problems—together—on the first try. Collaboration Strategies for Solo Developers Even solo developers need structured collaboration between their tools, their future selves, and their automation stack. Top collaboration tips for independent devs: Use opinionated frameworks like Next.js or Rails to minimize decision fatigue. Automate repetitive tasks early to save time in the long run. Commit code regularly with meaningful messages. Document workflows using Notion, Obsidian, or Jira—even if you're the only one using them. Containerize development environments for repeatability and rapid setup. “Solo doesn't mean siloed. Collaborate with your tools, your past decisions, and future goals.” Enhancing Collaboration in Small Development Teams For teams of 2–10 developers, Rob and Michael discussed how tight feedback loops and structured communication are essential to avoid chaos. Recommended practices for small team collaboration: Short, focused daily standups Shared development environments Lightweight Agile or Kanban boards Early investment in CI/CD pipelines Use of pair programming or mob programming for knowledge sharing Michael emphasized Agile's power in synchronizing team efforts, avoiding duplicated work, and solving problems more efficiently as a unit. “Agile helps teams collaborate—not just communicate. It keeps everyone moving in the same direction.” Solving Common Bottlenecks Together AI highlighted four universal collaboration pain points and solutions: Slow Code Reviews - Use SLAs and rotate reviewers Unclear Requirements - Kick off with 15-minute clarification huddles Testing Paralysis - Focus on integration tests and avoid overtesting Context Switching - Block dedicated focus hours Michael zeroed in on testing paralysis, especially in early-stage projects, where developers are too busy scaffolding to write tests. Without collaboration on testing plans, critical issues may be overlooked until it is too late. Rob addressed context switching, warning against excessive meetings that fragment developer flow. Leads should shield devs from distraction by delivering distilled, actionable feedback. Final Thoughts on Collaborative Development As teams grow, minor issues scale fast, and so do inefficiencies. Tools, meetings, workflows, and expectations must all scale intentionally. Rob reminded leaders to summarize and distill information before passing it to their teams and to make clever use of tools like AI, recordings, and summaries to keep everyone aligned without wasting time. “If you're building better developers, you're also building better collaborators.” Take Action: Build Collaboration Into Your Workflow Reassess your standups and review cycles Empower solo devs with documentation and CI/CD Streamline onboarding with containers Test early, test together Protect team focus time Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

As someone who has coached successful advisors for 31 years, I've seen time and again that when growth stalls, it's not a matter of working harder—it's a signal that the current model has run its course.

Hi everyone and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. Everyone's talking about it—AI. From ChatGPT to niche tools, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly visible in our industry. But here's the question on many advisors' minds: Will AI replace us? In this episode, I unpack why the answer is no. After spending the past year or two closely observing the slow but steady rise of AI in the financial services space, I've gathered my thoughts—and today, I'm sharing them with you. I also discussed the following: (03:08) Why AI won't replace financial advisors (06:28) Practical ways advisors can leverage AI today (08:22 Why embracing AI is essential for an advisor (14:58) What do I think about AI clones (17:30) How AI is helping advisors build a lasting legacy --- The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 30 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000's of advisors (below are videos and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into the four areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network. Your Bottom Line: Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. As I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14 days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14 days. If after experiencing my work for 30 days you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it's a month-to-month deal. I'm not going to lock you into anything. Take action now and complete the short form below and I look forward to welcoming you personally inside the Magellan Network. ► Subscribe to our channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CoachJoeLukacs?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachjoe.guru/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_joe_guru/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjoelukacs/ Website: https://www.magellannetwork.net/ Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/themagellannetwork Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoachJoeLukacs__

If you've ever found yourself panicking over a slow sales month and spiraling into self-doubt—this episode is for you. April takes us behind the scenes of a real coaching conversation with a business owner convinced her business was falling apart... only to discover, it was just a predictable cycle. In this episode, you'll learn how to stop reacting emotionally to every dip, zoom out to see your patterns, and plan your growth accordingly. Because your business isn't broken—it might just be winter. What You'll Learn: Why most small business owners are blind to their own business cycles The difference in mindset between a $3M company and a $10M+ company How to track patterns to reduce panic and plan more strategically What to stop doing when things get slow How your emotional state is tied to your P&L (and how to cut that cord) Golden Quotes: “Profits up? I'm a genius. Profits down? I should've gone to law school.” “You're not screwing up your business. You're just in a cycle. Don't burn the house down.” “Strong marketing makes for easy sales. Weak marketing makes for hard sales.” “Don't try to fix everything from street view. Step back—look from the satellite view.” Action Steps: Zoom Out: Review your sales and lead data from the past 2–3 years. Spot trends—your slow seasons, your peaks. Plan With the Cycle: Use slow months for R&D, training, or backend projects. Don't launch major systems when you're in a sales sprint. Know Your Triggers: Recognize when you start to spiral emotionally. Your business isn't broken—your expectations might just be misaligned. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Hello and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. Today, I want to discuss the difference between needing a brand-new strategy versus simply executing better on what you're already doing. I recently spoke with a successful advisory team that was feeling stuck and eager to ignite growth, which sparked this discussion. They were quick to suggest new tactics—social media, seminars, digital marketing—but as we talked, I started wondering: is it really about doing more, or just doing better? In this episode, I also discussed the following: (05:42) The massive difference between growth and popularity (07:41) What advisors should consider before chasing new marketing tactics (09:39) What better execution could do for your business (15:23) Are you building a business or just a following? (16:22) A test to see if you're focusing on what works --- The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 30 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000's of advisors (below are videos and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into the four areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network. Your Bottom Line: Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. As I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14 days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14 days. If after experiencing my work for 30 days you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it's a month-to-month deal. I'm not going to lock you into anything.

In this raw and hilarious episode of PivotMe, April shares an intensely personal story—her tattoo horror story. But beneath the ink and regret lies a powerful message about people-pleasing, distraction, and the cost of staying silent in critical moments.

Key Takeaways:

In this episode of The Career Flipper, I chat with Jenna Leveille, who went from working as a merchant in the travelling Renaissance Festival circuit to becoming the Deputy State Cartographer of Arizona and now she's the VP of State and Local Government Strategy at a mapping company. But this journey? It's anything but straight. Jenna's path weaves through non-traditional college years, a detour into zoology (because saving the world felt like a good place to start), and finally landing in the world of geospatial tech and GIS.We talk about what it's like to not have it all figured out, to follow your curiosity, and to keep showing up, even when the next step is unclear. If you've ever felt like your career map is a bit...hand-drawn in pencil, this one's for you. Jenna proves you can absolutely make your own route—and that community, resilience, and a little self-trust can take you further than you imagined.Connect with JennaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenna-leveille-1061491b/ Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

How can continuing education break down professional silos and foster real collaboration among healthcare teams? If you create CME/CE content, you've likely encountered the challenge of writing for “teams” that still operate in silos. This episode with interprofessional education expert Dr. Tina Patel Gunaldo, Founder, Collaborate for Health, reveals why just using the term “team-based care” isn't enough—and how content creators can more accurately reflect the evolving nature of healthcare collaboration. As patient-centered models expand and asynchronous care becomes the norm, CME professionals need a deeper understanding of roles, language, and practice contexts to design impactful education. Discover the critical differences between interprofessional, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary practice—and why it matters for CME writing. Learn how to structure education that empowers team collaboration and respects the unique contributions of each discipline. Understand the growing role of patients, technology, and asynchronous communication in shaping interprofessional collaboration today. And if you're unsure when to use “interprofessional” vs “multidisciplinary”? We've got you covered. We created a one-page Quick Reference Guide to help you use team-based language precisely and avoid common traps in CME writing. It's perfect for writers, educators, and reviewers who want to level up their clarity. Grab the download in the show notes and keep it handy as you create your next piece of content. Tune in now to learn how you can write CME content that reflects real-world collaboration—and elevates both learner experience and patient care outcomes.

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations" on the Career Flipper podcast, I, Jenny Dempsey, take you along on my career journey.  This year, I've committed to opening up about my own career flip, just as I encourage my guests to do. So here we are, in May 2025, and I can hardly believe it's been four months since I started my current day job. It feels surreal to say that, especially considering I was laid off for two years before this.During this time, I've been balancing my full-time job with furniture restoration on the side, dedicating Sundays to it, and squeezing in podcasting and all the related tasks whenever I can. If that sounds overwhelming, it is! Life can be a juggling act, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Scheduling time with friends often feels like a game of Tetris, as we all navigate our busy lives.I've always been the type of person who thrives on variety. I'm the one multitasking—doing laundry while putting away dishes, preparing to record a podcast, creating social media content for my furniture flipping page, and making sure my dog, Dwight, gets outside for a potty break. My brain has always thrived on this mix of activities, and I've been like this for as long as I can remember.Looking back, I've come to realize something significant. For a long time, I believed that work—capital W work—was my identity. I thought it was the only thing I was good at. I didn't believe in taking vacations; if I did, I'd bring my laptop along and continue working. I even had a panic attack in front of a customer service team I was managing because I was so consumed by my job. I poured everything into my work, only to learn the hard way that companies would replace me in an instant. When I was laid off and struggled to find a new job for two years, I was left questioning my identity. Who was I if I wasn't working?I dive into this and more in the episode!

Hi everyone and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. It's Memorial Day weekend, which means we're entering "Period Two" here in the Magellan Network—Memorial Day to Labor Day. In this episode, I share why I love the summer and, from 30+ years of coaching advisors, why it can also be a trap without the right plan. Too often, summer turns into a blur of half-days and low productivity. But it doesn't have to be that way. I'll walk you through a few key rules and strategies to help you stay focused, energized, and ahead of the curve while still enjoying the season. I also discussed the following: (05:11) What advisors should be doing in period two (07:16) My core philosophy about retirement (10:10) Why you should never go to the office to just “hang out” (11:41) How relaxing your brain can benefit your business (17:08) How advisors can make the most of this summer The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically.

As most beer enthusiasts know, hops play a vital role in the brewing process. The cone-shaped flowers impart distinct aromas that help distinguish, say, a pilsner from a pale ale. Oregon is one of only three states, along with Washington and Idaho, that commercially grows hops. Oregon and Washington are also the only two states that have their own USDA-supported breeding programs to develop new varieties of hops. But only Oregon can lay claim to the Strata hop, a variety that was bred at Oregon State University and released in 2018. Nearly all Strata hops today are being grown at just nine family farms in the Willamette Valley. But this quintessentially Oregon hop is about to get a lot more exposure thanks to Oregon Homegrown, a statewide beer collaboration launching on May 23. For two weeks, more than 20 Oregon breweries will showcase the flavor versatility of Strata to create an array of beers, from a Vienna lager to a hazy IPA to a fruited ale. Jeff Alworth is a journalist, author of several books on beer and the executive director of Celebrate Oregon Beer, a nonprofit he created last year that’s organizing the event. Gayle Goschie is a third-generation hop farmer and the co-owner of Goschie Farms in Silverton. They join us to share more details about Oregon Homegrown and what makes Strata hops so special.

Hello and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. Today, let's talk about what it takes to grow your business—what works, what doesn't, and how to cut through the noise. I've seen advisors try everything from seminars to social media, and while some crush it, others struggle with the same strategies. Here's the truth: if something works for someone, that doesn't mean it'll work for you. Instead of chasing every new trend, why not double down on what actually works for you? In this episode, I also discussed the following: (05:44) The problem with FOMO (08:28) The key to doubling or tripling your growth (10:25) How optimizing your relationships can produce more results (15:51) Three questions to ask yourself before using a lead gen program (17:58) Are you focusing on the right things to scale your business? --- The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 30 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000's of advisors (below are videos and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into the four areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network. Your Bottom Line: Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. As I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14 days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14 days. If after experiencing my work for 30 days you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it's a month-to-month deal.

Hi everyone and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. If you've been following me over the years, you'll notice I'm not in my usual office setup—because today, I'm coming to you from the heart of Liverpool, England, where I'm wrapping up my spring sabbatical. In this episode, I'm diving into a few short but powerful reflections—why I've decided I never want to retire, what I've gained from taking regular sabbaticals, and why a strategic calendar is essential for high-performing professionals. I also discussed the following: (05:02) What if retirement isn't what fulfills you? (08:50) The biggest reason why most advisors don't take downtime (11:02) The first thing I put in my strategic calendar (13:23) Why a long weekend is not enough to recharge your batteries (20:57) Three essential tools to help plan out your sabbaticals (24:6) How to determine if you're burnt out --- The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically.

In this episode, explores the common narrative that financial success is the ultimate goal, arguing instead for the importance of self-awareness as a foundation for true fulfillment. She highlights how chasing external success without understanding oneself can lead to feelings of emptiness and anxiety. Kayla offers personal experiences and insights on how self-awareness can redefine success, protect mental health, and foster resilience. Takeaways Chasing success without self-awareness can leave you feeling lost. Self-awareness helps define your own success, not just societal expectations. Success without self-awareness can lead to burnout and anxiety. Understanding yourself is foundational for sustainable success. Your self-worth should not be equated with your net worth. True happiness comes from within, not from material possessions. Reflecting on your journey is crucial for personal growth.

Tyson Matyas interviews Eric Triplet, the inventor of the Helix Pond Skimmer, about the new Helix 2.0 model. Triplet explains the genesis of the original skimmer, driven by a need to address problems with existing products, and the challenges he faced as an "accidental manufacturer." They discuss the features and benefits of the new 2.0 model, which is smaller, easier to install, and more user-friendly, catering to both contractors and DIY pond enthusiasts. Triplet also touches on his hesitation to fully commit to manufacturing and the future potential for related products. Key Takeaways: Identify problems in your field and seek to solve them. Do not accept inadequate solutions from others; strive for something better. Be open to creative insights and ideas, even if they come from a dream. Collaborate with and learn from friends and colleagues with experience in related areas. Embrace difficult challenges as chances to become more creative and tenacious.

NOTE: This sponsored episode was produced by Kent Bye in partnership with PHI and participation from Agog: Immersive Media Institute and immersive artist Peter Burr. PHI and Agog: Immersive Media Institute are collaborating on the PHI Immersive: XR for Impact residency program that will be running for four weeks from March 2 to 27, 2026 in Montreal, Canada. It was first announced on March 6th, and it's open to "artists, groups, or collectives residing in North America (including Canada, the United States, Mexico, Greenland, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Bermuda)." The submission deadline is June 24th, 2025 (11:59 EDT), and there are a couple of information sessions coming up next week on Tuesday, May 13th (French) and Thursday, May 15th (English), and you can find the Zoom links on the application page (or video recordings if it's after May 15th). I think this is a very unique opportunity that will be of interest to the Voices of VR podcast audience since the selected artist(s) will be invited to spend a month collaborating with PHI Studio over four weeks towards developing an initial prototype. Here's how they describe it: Focusing specifically on the development phase of a project over the course of four weeks, the selected artist(s), group, or collective will collaborate with PHI Studio experts to conceptualize, plan, and prototype an immersive artwork. The program provides the selected project with personalized support, workspace, the possibility to connect with a community partner and targeted resources to refine the concept, create prototypes, and prepare for potential production. I had a chance to catch up with Myriam Archard, Chief New Media Partnership and PR at PHI, Amy Seidenwurm, Chief of Programs and Strategy at Agog, as well as Peter Burr, who was the immersive artist selected for the 2025 edition of the PHI Immersive residency. We talk about the collaboration between PHI and Agog, which is bringing a specific impact focus on "transforming narratives through activism, contemporary challenges, and social good." We elaborate a bit more about what it means to use XR technologies and immersive storytelling to empower changemakers. We also talk about best practices and things to avoid in a pitch (be sure to read closely what the submission guidelines are), and a lot of general advice for aspiring immersive artists navigating how to inspire change and provide opportunities to make a positive difference on the many different challenges facing us today. We also cover a lot of other logistics of the PHI Immersive: XR for Impact residency, including Burr's personal reflections on what the experience was like. Agog also is interested in supporting other immersive residencies, and perhaps starting some of their own residency programs, and so this collaboration with PHI may be an indication for the types of future work that they are looking to support. Again, the deadline is June 24th, 2025 (11:59p EDT), and be sure to check out the information session on May 13th at 11am EDT for French speakers, and May 15th at 11am EDT for English speakers. You can tune in to the podcast or check out the transcript down below for more details.
