Welcome to a special solo episode of The Career Flipper Podcast! It's the podcastaversary!One year ago, I hit publish on the very first episode of this show, having no idea what I was doing and definitely not realizing how much it would change my life. What started in the messy aftermath of a 2022 layoff (and 400+ job rejections) became a permission slip to rebuild, to reimagine success, and to start over without a map.In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of how this podcast came to be, how flipping furniture helped me flip my identity, and how conversations with guests like:Nick Musica, a former SEO guy turned animal psychicTrish Jasinski, who bought a chateau in the south of France and left corporate to open a retreat spaceCat Cheng, a former music teacher turned Netflix-featured baker (hi, tres leches dreams)And Case Sandberg, who I met at a farmer's market and learned had just left his software engineering job to become a chocolate maker…helped me feel less alone and more alive.Oh and I'm sharing a piece of my music. I wrote a song called Just Wait, about getting laid off, getting lost, and learning how to come back to yourself.Skip to 14:28 if you want to jump straight to the song.Whether you're in the middle of your own career flip, cocoon season, or identity unraveling, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't need permission from anyone else to change your life.You can give it to yourself.

Think you need money to start a business? At 19, Drew Carmichael has already built an agency and generated over $3M in sales—starting with zero capital and pure hustle. Discover the real systems, mindset, and tools that can help you scale smarter and faster, no matter where you're starting from.

The question the book asks is obviously transforming the system is not an individual task, it's a collective activity. But it still begs the question, if we're trying to contribute to that, what do we need to do? Not every four years when we vote, not every year when we go to a strategy workshop, but what do we do every day? And so the title is very straightforward: Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems. And that's the question the book is offering an answer to.My second conversation with writer, facilitator and consultant Adam Kahane (the first was episode e219) and with the audience at the Ottawa launch of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, the Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement at Perfect Books on July 2, 2025. This final regular episode of season 6 is part of my roundtable series, open-ended conversations about what a group of citizens are passionate about. And passionate they were! I started by asking Adam why he wrote the book and why does he think it's relevant today, in particular here in the nation's capital at a time when there are great tensions with our neighbours to the south and when Canadians are talking to each other more than ever about our shared values, and the challenges that we face such as the ecological crisis and climate emergency, which sadly seems to have temporarily fallen off our collective radar. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsEmbrace radical engagement: Lean into understanding diverse perspectives and actively seek common ground.Recognize the power of everyday habits: Focus on daily actions to create lasting systemic change.Navigate complexity: Balance working towards a larger goal with acknowledging individual interests and power dynamics.Collaborate across differences: Seek opportunities to work with those who hold different views to achieve meaningful progress.Act responsibly: Consider the broader impact of your actions on all living beings.Story PreviewWhat if the key to changing the world lies not in grand gestures, but in the small, often overlooked habits of our daily lives? Adam Kahane shares his journey from facilitating transformative dialogues in South Africa to uncovering the power of radical engagement, inviting us to rethink how we contribute to a better future. Chapter Summary00:00 The Collective Task of Transformation01:19 Introducing Adam Kahane04:01 Setting the Stage for Discussion09:40 The Motivation Behind the Book15:42 Everyday Habits for Transformation22:39 Exploring the Seven Habits29:12 The Slippery Slope of Disagreement and The Challenge of Acting Responsibly35:20 Power Dynamics in Collaboration39:40 Trust and Collaboration44:00 Balancing Urgency and Everyday Habits54:25 Art, Culture, and Collaboration56:13 Radical Engagement in Action01:00:05 Navigating Power Dynamics and The Importance of Agency01:12:51 Redefining Power and Responsibility01:17:04 Risks and Realities of Engagement01:23:13 The Complexity of Multiple SystemsFeatured QuotesTransforming the system is not an individual task. It's a collective activity.Radical engagement is the opposite of standing back with your arms crossed saying, take it or leave it.Ring the bells you still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. (quoting Leonard Cohen)Behind the StoryAdam Kahane's latest book, ‘Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems,' stems from a moment of confusion during an interview with South African leader Trevor Manuel. This experience led Kahane to explore what it means to contribute to systemic change, focusing on the everyday actions that shape our world. This episode explores themes of power, collaboration, and social responsibility and how the arts weave their way through all of this. Credit: cover photo by Conyer Clayton *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Curious what will set great advisors apart as AI takes over planning and portfolio work? After a powerful three-day training with a group of rising advisors, I'm more convinced than ever: your edge won't be technical—it'll be your ability to connect, coach, and lead.

In this episode, April breaks down the false dilemma of “either-or” thinking and makes the case for the genius of “AND.” Drawing inspiration from Jim Collins' Built to Last, April shares personal stories, client examples, and tactical steps to show you how to stop limiting yourself and instead ask the better question: “How can I do both?” If you've ever felt like you had to choose between your goals and your family, your health and your business, your creativity and your discipline—this episode will unlock new possibilities. Key Takeaways: Why “either/or” is often a lie that limits our lives and business What Jim Collins meant by the “Genius of AND” April's personal battle with balancing parenting and ambition Real client stories that highlight how to bust through black-and-white limitations A 3-step system to shift your mindset and live into “AND” The pivotal question that changes everything: “What would need to be true for this to be easy?” Action Steps: Identify your “OR” moments – Where have you bought into false choices? Challenge the assumption – Ask: Is this really true, or is fear masquerading as fact? Pivot with power – Ask: What would need to be true for me to have BOTH? Quotes: “Black-and-white thinking will rob us of our dreams.” “If the current system doesn't work for you—burn it down and build a new one.” “When you live in the genius of AND, you open yourself up to limitless possibilities.” --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Vacations, late nights, screen time sprees—summer throws structure out the window. But what happens when back-to-school hits like a brick? In this episode, Andrew and Caroline talk how to hold onto a little routine without turning your home into a boot camp. They unpack simple ways families can keep anchor habits going—even at the cabin or with teenagers rolling out of bed at noon. You'll hear tips on habit stacking (yes, the morning pee counts), making chores suck less, using streaks and gamification, and how to build routines without nagging or meltdowns. Plus, why setting up your environment matters more than willpower. Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, this episode will help you create summer flow that still sets you up for a smoother school-year shift. Homework Summer Routine Jumpstart Checklist Pick ONE small habit you want to reintroduce (bedtime, reading, outdoor time). Anchor it to something that already happens (e.g., after lunch → 30 min quiet reading). Use a visual tracker or calendar for “Don't break the streak” motivation. Collaborate with kids: pick the habit, rename it (e.g., “Treasure Hunt” instead of “clean up”), and make it fun with music or timed sprints.  Check out these resources guides to help have the best summer ever and transition back to schoolUltimate Guide Book to the Best Summer EverBack to School SuccessConquering Back to School Anxiety Guide Enjoying the show?

Here is your article with the names changed to David Woll and Kori Pelikan, keeping the same format, content, and context: Bringing Joy to Grayslake: The Story and Secrets Behind Bubble Bash Foam Parties By David Woll, Host of Discovering Grayslake Grayslake is a town that thrives on community, creativity, and a little bit of hometown magic. In this episode of Discovering Grayslake, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kori Pelikan, owner of Bubble Bash—a business that's redefining how we celebrate, connect, and create memories in Northeast Illinois and Southeast Wisconsin. Bubble Bash specializes in foam and bubble parties, bringing laughter and excitement to backyards, parks, and community events. Whether you're a parent planning a birthday, a community organizer, or a fellow entrepreneur, Kori's journey and insights offer a treasure trove of actionable advice and inspiration. Let's dive deep into the main themes and expert tips from our conversation, so you can bring a little more joy—and a lot more bubbles—into your own corner of the world. Table of Contents The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties Lessons in Entrepreneurship: Balancing Family, Passion, and Business Actionable Tips for Hosting a Memorable Foam or Bubble Party The Heart of Grayslake: Kindness, Connection, and Community How to Book Your Own Bubble Bash Experience 1. The Spark: Turning a Fun Idea into a Thriving Business Kori Pelikan's story is a classic example of how a simple, personal need can ignite a business idea. When planning her daughter's birthday, Kori wanted something unique. She discovered foam machines, bought one, and the party was such a hit that neighbors and friends immediately asked, “Can you do this for us?” Key Takeaways: Start with a personal need:** The best business ideas often come from solving your own problems. Test the waters:** Kori's first event was a low-risk trial that validated the concept. Listen to your audience:** Immediate positive feedback from guests signaled a real demand. Expert Advice:   If you're considering starting a business, look for opportunities in your own life. What do you wish existed? What gets people talking and asking for more? 2. What Makes Foam Parties So Popular? Foam parties aren't just a passing trend—they're a sensory, social, and safe way for kids (and adults!) to let loose. Kori notes that the laughter and joy are infectious, and the novelty never seems to wear off. Why Foam Parties Work: Universal appeal:** Kids of all ages love the tactile, immersive experience. Repeat business:** Many families and organizations book Bubble Bash year after year. Social media gold:** The visual spectacle makes for shareable, memorable photos. Pro Tip:   Capture candid moments and share them with your guests. Kori sends photos to families after events, creating lasting memories and organic marketing. 3. Behind the Scenes: How Bubble Bash Operates Running a foam party business is more than just turning on a machine. Kori's approach is professional, efficient, and community-focused. Logistics and Equipment Foam Cannons:** Kori owns two, allowing her to serve multiple events or larger crowds. Setup Needs:** Access to water and electricity is essential. Coordination with venues is key. Duration:** Most parties last about an hour—enough for high-energy fun, then a smooth transition to food or rest. Weather:** Rain doesn't stop the party; kids are already getting wet! Environmental and Safety Considerations Hypoallergenic Foam:** Safe for kids, pets, and lawns. Grass Care:** Kori rotates the foam area to prevent lawn damage. Clean-Up:** The foam dissipates naturally, leaving no mess behind. Actionable Advice: Always do a site check before the event to ensure access to utilities. Communicate clearly with hosts about what's needed for setup and teardown. Invest in quality, safe foam solutions from reputable suppliers. 4. Safety First: Creating a Fun and Secure Environment Safety is at the heart of every Bubble Bash event. Kori's background as a teacher shines through in her clear, consistent rules and her ability to manage groups of excited kids. Core Safety Rules No running or sliding:** Prevents slips and falls. No diving or cannonballing:** The foam isn't deep—remind kids it's not a pool! No sitting under the foam:** Ensures visibility and prevents accidental bumps. Implementation Rules Stand:** Kori sets up a visible sign at public events. Active Supervision:** She keeps a close eye on the crowd and gently reminds kids as needed. Inclusive Fun:** Even grandparents have joined in—one memorable guest navigated the foam with her walker! Expert Insight:   Safety doesn't have to kill the fun. Set expectations early, use positive language, and model the behavior you want to see. 5. Building Community: The Power of Local Networks Bubble Bash's success is rooted in community connections. Kori leverages local mom groups, Facebook communities, and word-of-mouth to grow her business. Strategies for Community Engagement Join local groups:** Participate in online forums and neighborhood networks. Collaborate, don't compete:** Kori often refers clients to other foam party businesses when she's booked, fostering goodwill. Support local events:** Bubble Bash is a fixture at Grayslake's Battle of the Bands, summer kickoffs, and more. Pro Tip:   Don't underestimate the power of grassroots marketing. Authentic relationships and community involvement build trust and loyalty. 6. Expanding the Fun: Beyond Kids' Parties While Bubble Bash is best known for children's events, Kori is open to new markets. Adult and Teen Events Glow-in-the-dark foam:** Black lights and colored foam create a nightclub vibe. College and community events:** There's untapped potential for older audiences. Rebranding:** Kori is considering a separate identity to appeal to non-kid markets. Actionable Advice: Survey your audience to gauge interest in new offerings. Experiment with themed events (e.g., “Foam Olympics” fundraisers). Adjust your branding and messaging to match the target demographic. 7. Lessons in Entrepreneurship: Balancing Family, Passion, and Business Kori's journey is a testament to the power of reinvention. After 20 years as a teacher, she pivoted to entrepreneurship during the pandemic, seeking flexibility and joy. Key Lessons Follow your happiness:** Don't let fear of judgment hold you back. Seasonal balance:** Bubble Bash is full-time from May to October, allowing Kori to “hibernate” and recharge in the off-season. Family first:** Kori proudly identifies as a mom above all, structuring her business around her children's needs. Expert Insight:   Entrepreneurship is about designing a life that fits your values. Don't be afraid to pivot, and keep your options open for future opportunities. 8. Actionable Tips for Hosting a Memorable Foam or Bubble Party Ready to bring the Bubble Bash experience to your next event? Here's how to make it unforgettable: Planning and Preparation Book early:** Summer weekends fill up fast. Choose the right location:** Flat, grassy areas work best; ensure access to water and power. Communicate with your host:** Share setup needs and safety rules in advance. During the Event Set clear rules:** Post them visibly and review with guests. Capture the moment:** Take candid photos and share them with families. Rotate the foam area:** Protect your lawn and keep the fun moving. After the Party Share your experience:** Post photos on social media and tag Bubble Bash. Give feedback:** Let Kori know what worked and what could be improved. Spread the word:** Word-of-mouth is the best marketing! 9. The Heart of Grayslake: Kindness, Connection, and Community At the end of our conversation, I shared a reminder that resonates with the spirit of Grayslake: you never know what someone else is going through. A simple act of kindness—a smile, a compliment, holding the door—can make all the difference. Let's keep Grayslake a place where: Neighbors support neighbors. Local businesses lift each other up. Every child (and adult!) gets a chance to play, laugh, and belong. 10. How to Book Your Own Bubble Bash Experience Ready to add some bubbly fun to your next event?

In this practical episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie chats with Dr. Danika Pfeiffer—preschool SLP, assistant professor, and early literacy researcher—about how we can support early writing in young kids, especially those with developmental language disorder (DLD). From understanding why name writing is more about memory than letters, to how SLPs can build in writing practice without adding to their workload, Danika breaks it all down. You'll hear simple ideas, ways to team up with teachers and OTs, and why even small moments of print awareness can go a long way. If you've ever wondered if writing is in your scope, this convo will leave you feeling inspired and ready to dive in—one crayon at a time.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why early writing starts earlier than you think—even in preschoolThe difference between name writing and letter writingHow writing challenges show up in kids with developmental language disorder (DLD)Simple ways to embed writing practice into your existing sessionsWhat SLPs can look for during evaluations—no fancy tools neededBuilding print awareness without overhauling your therapyPartnering with teachers and OTs around early writing supportThe SLP's role in preventing future writing difficultiesMaking early writing doable (and meaningful) for busy SLPsHere's what we learned: Name writing is visual recall—not true letter-sound knowledge.Letter writing is harder and needs explicit, repeated support.Kids with DLD follow typical writing development but at a slower pace.Easy, everyday strategies (like sign-in sheets or labeled items) can build writing skills.Print awareness fits naturally into speech sessions—no overhaul needed.Informal assessments (paper + crayon!) are enough to track early writing.Collaborate with teachers and OTs to target both language and motor skills.Early writing support helps prevent bigger literacy challenges laterLearn more about Dr. Danika Pfeiffer: Website: www.danikapfeiffer.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikapfeiffer.slp/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/danika-pfeiffer Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/danikapfeiffer.bsky.social Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/444VIuWOxBzZ8fI2hqGyFj Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

In the seventh episode of Sage Advice, Hamza Khan sits down with best-selling author and strategist Adam Rodricks for a fast, funny, and heartfelt conversation about love, ambition, and becoming more human in the process. As National Director of Social Growth & Experience at KPMG Canada, Adam shares the lessons he's learned on stage, in therapy, and at home with his wife and daughter. He and Hamza talk shop about public speaking, walkout songs, parenting while keynoting, and the tug-of-war between comparison and collaboration. Adam opens up about the influence of his late therapist, the power of choosing the right partner, and the courage it takes to actually feel your feelings. His three pieces of sage advice: 1) The most important decision you'll make is who you partner with. 2) Don't compete. Collaborate. 3) To heal, you've got to feel. This is an episode about letting go of ego and learning to lead with heart.

Let's talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough: why chasing more money isn't the path to fulfillment, and why so many advisors still fall into that trap. This episode is about helping you shift your mindset—from the never-ending game of making more, to building a business and life that actually feels good. I share personal stories, client examples, and a few powerful tools that help you reconnect to what matters.

In this episode, April sits down with Bob Molle—Olympic wrestler, two-time Grey Cup champion, and leadership coach—to explore what it really takes to perform when it matters most. From bouncing back after back surgery to building a consulting empire, Bob reveals how embracing discomfort is the secret weapon behind sustained success. April pushes deep into his mindset—probing for imposter syndrome, fear, and identity loss—but what she uncovers is a man grounded in presence and possibility. What You'll Learn: How to turn physical and emotional “shock” into transformation Why high performers don't fear failure—they reframe it How resilience isn't inherited, it's chosen Tools Bob uses to coach elite performers under pressure The difference between being average and deciding you're not Key Quotes: “You don't graduate from hardship—you reframe it.” “We're not average. And you don't have to be either.” “Shock is the starting point of your evolution.” Actionable Takeaways: Reframe your past losses as learning experiences Stay where your feet are—practice being in the moment Make the decision today that you are not average In shock moments, ask: What is this here to teach me? Choose evidence that empowers you, not weakens you Bob's story is a lesson in grit, clarity, and redefining what's possible. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, or just someone standing in your own way, this episode shows what happens when you get comfortable being uncomfortable. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

In this episode, I break down why doing a mid-year business review isn't just a good idea—it's essential if you want to finish 2025 strong. I've worked with thousands of advisors over the years, and one thing is clear: the most successful ones take time to stop, assess, and adjust. That's what this mid-year check-in is all about—figuring out what's working, what's not, and making smart, strategic moves for the next six months.

In this inspiring episode of PivotMe, April revisits one of her most loved concepts: the Atta Folder. If you're new to it—think of it as your personal vault of encouragement. April dives into why it's not just for you, but how regularly building up others can radically transform your team, your relationships, and even your leadership legacy. Key Takeaways: What an Atta Folder Is: A digital or physical space where you store positive feedback, praise, and reminders of your value—for when you need it most. Why It Matters: We all have easy access to what's gone wrong. The Atta Folder is your curated reminder of what's gone right—fuel for your confidence. From Self to Team: Start by building your own Atta Folder, but don't stop there. Become the person who fills others' folders too. Ripple Effect of Recognition: When you consistently affirm those around you, you don't just boost their morale—you build loyalty, trust, and culture. How to Make It a Habit: April gives tactical steps for turning appreciation into a routine—one that boosts productivity, mental health, and connection. Quote from the Episode: “Evidence of what you've done wrong is always available—so you better intentionally collect what you've done right.” Actionable Items: Create (or update) your personal Atta Folder with screenshots, notes, and feedback. Give specific, sincere compliments to three people today—text, email, sticky note, whatever works. Build the habit: set reminders or create a ritual to affirm people regularly—at work, at home, or even in the pickup line. The Atta Folder isn't just feel-good fluff—it's a tool for resilience. And when you make a habit of building others up too, you create workplaces, homes, and communities where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. Start yours today—and go fill someone else's too. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Welcome to Part 3 of my mini-series answering your burning questions! Today, we're diving into the topic of verbal imitation.When it comes to verbal imitation and echoic goals, context is everything. These goals must be functional and meaningful to the individual child in order to support communication development.As an SLP collaborating with a BCBA, and vice versa, rely on assessment tools and an SLP's robust training in speech to identify and shape functional goals. It's crucial that we plan and program with intention—otherwise, we risk discouraging a child from verbalizingThe key? Collaborate early and often. Assess together. Plan together. Use resources like the Autism IEP Goal Bank (don't miss the freebie!). Then, have the SLP on the team focus on those targeted words and move into collaboratively supporting generalization into the natural environment for a robust bank of words.Looking ahead to 2026, we're excited to explore communication disorders more deeply over at ABA Speech Connection. Stay tuned—because sometimes, you don't know what you don't know. #autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Summer mini-seriesStrategy to work collaboratively as BCBA and SLPsVerbal imitation goals Communication developmentMentioned In This Episode:Verbal Imitation Guide (Hack #19) Join our ethics course Speech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn't just about task lists—it's about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don't avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping. Key Takeaways: What the Frog Really Is: It's that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it's costing you peace and progress. The Myth of Graduation: You don't outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier. 10 Seconds of Courage: You don't need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything. Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start. Don't Over-Prepare: High performers don't “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on. Quote from the Episode: “Frogs don't disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.” Actionable Items: Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it. Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap. Don't wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move. Use the momentum from one win to build into the next. Hard things don't go away. But you don't need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Eric Lerner, President and Chief Scientist at LPPFusion, is leading a team that is taking a radically different approach to nuclear fusion—one that could make abundant, safe energy a reality for all.Unlike massive, billion-dollar fusion projects, LPPFusion focuses on a compact and cost-effective technology. Instead of using traditional deuterium-tritium fuel, which creates dangerous neutrons and requires enormous, expensive machinery, LPPFusion uses hydrogen and boron—both non-radioactive and plentiful. The result? As Eric Lerner explained in this episode of Superpowers for Good, “when they combine, they produce pure helium and no neutrons. And that means we can make the machine very compact, very small, very cheap, and we can convert the energy directly to electricity without using steam turbines and generators, which are very expensive.”This technological shift is also about access. LPPFusion is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding, allowing everyday people—not just wealthy, accredited investors—to participate in the future of energy. As Eric shared, “through crowdfunding, we can reach lots of people. And we are reaching lots of people… we are using crowdfunding simply to reach a mass audience that has to know about this technology.”LPPFusion's approach is also unique in its embrace of nature's own plasma instabilities, rather than fighting them. “Most people in the field try to suppress those instabilities… but we imitate nature… the machine we're working with, plasma focus, uses those instabilities to compress and heat the plasma. And that also makes our path a lot easier,” Eric said.Despite raising only a fraction of the capital of their larger competitors, Eric and his team have achieved the best scientific results among private fusion efforts. Their work is openly published, and the opportunity to learn more or even invest is available to all.As the world seeks solutions to the global energy crisis, innovators like Eric Lerner and the LPPFusion team show that transformative ideas often come from smaller, more agile labs. Their work could redefine energy—and now, anyone can help make it happen.tl;dr:Eric Lerner explains how LPPFusion is using hydrogen-boron fuel to pursue cleaner, safer fusion energy.Their approach leverages plasma instabilities, making fusion devices smaller, cheaper, and more efficient.LPPFusion raises funds through regulated investment crowdfunding, inviting broader public participation.Eric shares how scientific method and persistent teamwork drive progress, even with limited resources.The episode highlights the transformative potential of fusion energy and how anyone can get involved.How to Develop Scientific Method As a SuperpowerEric's superpower is the scientific method. He describes it as the power to “not only… predict the future, but to change the future.” It's not merely a set of laboratory procedures, but a disciplined, collaborative way of learning “the truth about the universe, by the method of prediction and test against observations made subsequent to those predictions.” Eric credits mentors like Hannes Alfven for teaching him that the scientific method is about teamwork, persistent experimentation, and understanding the processes that create and sustain things—not just the things themselves.Eric's application of this superpower is best illustrated by his early work in astrophysics, which led him to fusion. As a young researcher, he noticed a regularity in cosmic structures and, guided by scientific curiosity and mentorship, he investigated the electromagnetic processes that might explain it. This search led him to the study of plasma filaments, a discovery that inspired the fusion device at the heart of LPPFusion. He and his team confirmed in the lab that these plasma filaments exist just as they do in the cosmos, validating his methodical, persistent approach and opening a new path for fusion energy.Eric's advice for cultivating this superpower includes:Collaborate with others and learn from mentorsEmbrace persistence—expect many failed experiments before successFocus on understanding processes, not just end resultsRely on prediction and testing, not assumptionsBe transparent and open with your workBy following Eric's example and advice, you can make the scientific method a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEric Lerner (he/him):President and Chief Scientist, LPPFusion, Inc.About LPPFusion, Inc.: LPPFusion is on a fast path to developing nuclear fusion generators that we predict will produce safe, clean, unlimited energy, far cheaper energy than any present-day energy source. We call our technology Focus Fusion. We predict it can solve our global environmental challenges and at the same time lift the standard of living for all.Website: lppfusion.comBiographical Information: A leading physicist in dense plasma focus research for 40 years. Eric developed an original model of the role of the quantum magnetic field effect and has pioneered in the application of astrophysical results to fusion energy research. He is also the author of the book "the Big Bang Never Happened" and has published many papers in peer-reviewed journals on both fusion energy and cosmology.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

Maloney recounts a pivotal mentoring moment at CloudLock that reshaped his approach to sales strategy, team structure, and market calibration. The episode also explores common missteps in early-stage startups—like trying to pursue too many use cases or building teams misaligned with the product's true market fit. It's a candid and practical masterclass for CROs, sales leaders, and founders navigating go-to-market chaos.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:01:52] The #1 job of a sales leader isn't building teams—it's figuring out how to hit the number.[00:02:41] Calibration of resources is critical: Balance dominance in core markets with smart expansion into emerging ones.[00:03:41] A hard lesson: Building the wrong sales team for the product's actual market fit can derail everything.[00:04:24] Why focusing on 3-4 key use cases is more effective than spreading thin across many[00:05:50] Avoid copying old playbooks—be objective about your current product and ICP[00:06:35] Collaborate with technical founders: Align sales goals, use data, and define outlier strategies together.[00:07:24] Operating without a clear ICP is dangerous—know how to scale, train, and forecast from it.QUOTES[00:02:15] "Your job is not to build an enterprise sales team or an SMB team—it's to build the right team to hit the number.[00:03:41] "I was convinced our guiding light was to build an enterprise team.

Focus is everything.[00:07:00] "Outliers are okay, but you need a plan for them.

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.

In Part 2 of the Habits series, April continues the powerful conversation on how to design your day (and life) through the lens of high-performance habits. While Part 1 focused on tools and awareness, this episode takes it further with implementation strategies that help you automate your success—no extra motivation required. Key Takeaways: Discover how environment design can make or break your habits. Learn to stack habits effectively and create powerful daily routines. Replace “decision fatigue” with automated excellence. Understand the neurological patterns that lock in habits for good. Learn the mindset shift that keeps you consistent even on low-energy days. Action Items: Do a habit audit: What's automated? What requires too much mental load? Apply habit stacking: Anchor a new habit to something you already do. 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.
