There will never be a perfect time to start. There will only be the moment you finally decide to move. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the perfect timing trap and why waiting for ideal conditions destroys more dreams than failure ever could. Because let's be real… If you are waiting for the economy to settle down… Your finances to look perfect… Your calendar to magically open up… And every possible risk to disappear… You are going to be waiting forever. In this episode, you'll learn: Why perfect conditions almost never exist How waiting for the right time becomes a disguise for fear Why messy action beats endless planning How fast execution creates clarity, momentum, and confidence The truth is simple: The market does not care if you feel ready. Opportunity does not wait until life feels convenient. And your future will not be built by standing still. You have to move before everything feels perfect. Launch the offer. Test the idea. Talk to the customer. Collect the feedback. Make the adjustment. Keep moving. Because action gives you clarity that overthinking never will. The best time to start was already behind you. The next best time is right now. Stop waiting for perfect timing. Move inside the chaos. And create the momentum you keep hoping will magically appear. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

What happens after orthodontic treatment ends? For many practices, it's a missed opportunity. Patients lose retainers, stop wearing them, and eventually see their results begin to shift. Meanwhile, practices lose touch with patients and leave recurring revenue on the table. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with Dr. Blair Feldman, orthodontist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Retainer Club, to discuss how practices can transform retention from an afterthought into a scalable patient care and revenue strategy. Drawing from his experience building and exiting multiple orthodontic practices, Blair shares how subscription-based retainer programs help practices protect treatment outcomes while creating a seamless patient experience. Dr. Len and Blair explore the economics of retainer programs, patient compliance, recurring revenue opportunities, AI adoption, and the importance of maintaining relationships with patients long after treatment is complete. Whether you're an orthodontist, Invisalign provider, or general dentist offering aligner therapy, this conversation offers practical strategies for extending patient lifetime value while improving clinical outcomes.   What You'll Learn Why retention is one of the most overlooked stages of orthodontic treatment How recurring revenue models can benefit both patients and practices The biggest mistakes practices make after treatment is completed How online retainer fulfillment improves patient compliance Recommended strategies for pricing retainer programs Why patient education is critical for long-term treatment success The role technology and automation play in post-treatment care How practices can increase patient lifetime value through retention programs The importance of transparency when discussing retention and retreatment Business lessons from building and scaling a successful dental startup   Key Takeaways 01:48 Set It and Collect It: How Smart Practices Are Building Recurring Revenue After Aligner Treatments 04:20 The Retainer Gap Most Practices Overlook 08:11 Why Retainers Need Regular Replacement 11:13 Building Predictable Recurring Revenue with Retainer Programs 14:22 The Ideal Retainer Program Playbook 17:36 What Happens When Patients Lose Their Retainers? 18:40 Creating Long-Term Retention and Wellness Scan Strategies 23:05 Subscription Models and Automated Retainer Delivery 24:11 Beyond Orthodontics: Veneer Guards, Whitening Trays, and More 26:30 Why Every Aligner Practice Needs a Retention Program 31:14 Common Objections Practices Have About Retainer Programs 32:35 Lightning Round: Business, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship 38:45 Special Offer for Raving Patients Listeners   — Connect with Dr Blair Co-Founder & President, Retainer Club LinkedIn: Blair Feldman Website: Retainer Club Learn more about how Retainer Club helps practices create recurring revenue while protecting patient outcomes through seamless retainer fulfillment programs.   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:In this episode, Catherine McDonald and Shayne Daughenbaugh discuss the practical realities of capturing, creating, and deploying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in fast-growing organizations. Drawing from Shayne's experience leading SOP standardization across multiple locations, they explore how businesses can create consistency while maintaining a human-centered approach.The conversation highlights why SOPs are more than compliance documents. They serve as the foundation for customer experience, employee training, and continuous improvement. Shayne shares a step-by-step framework for identifying priority processes, working with subject matter experts, and leveraging video recordings and AI tools to simplify documentation and accelerate SOP creation.If your organization struggles with inconsistent processes, scattered documentation, or SOPs that nobody uses, this episode offers practical strategies for building documentation that is both useful and sustainable.Key Takeaways:1. SOPs should create consistency across locations to deliver a reliable customer experience.2. Video-based process capture preserves valuable expertise, context, and real-world best practices better than traditional written documentation.3. AI and transcription tools can significantly speed up SOP creation while reducing administrative effort.4. SOPs are most effective when treated as living documents that support continuous improvement, not just compliance or record-keeping.Links: Lean Solutions Summit Lean Solutions Website

A move allowing click and collect prescriptions is being dubbed a sensible call. The Government's looking at introducing e-lockers for medication pick-ups, via Associate Health Minister Casey Costello's Medical Products Bill. Ministry of Health officials say it would benefit those who struggle to get to pharmacies during opening hours. Mangawhai Pharmacy Director Lanny Wong told Heather du Plessis-Allan such lockers are common overseas. She says a trial was attempted in 2023, but MedSafe shut it down because legislation wouldn't allow for it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can small daily changes really improve health outcomes for people with disabilities? Dr. James Haley believes they can—and he explains how. From setting water bottle goals to using wearable tech, this episode dives into practical strategies backed by science and lived experience. In the final part of this enlightening series, Dr. James Haley joins Dr. Olli Tikkanen to discuss accessible, research-based methods for increasing physical activity in people with disabilities. Dr. Haley emphasizes the importance of small, consistent habits and how mobile health technologies—including wearables and behavior change apps—can help form sustainable routines. He shares simple strategies like smart reminders, social accountability, and goal-setting that anyone can integrate into their daily life. The episode also covers the role of wearable technologies in monitoring movement, heart rate, and sleep, along with their limitations in cost and accessibility. Dr. Haley explores how biomechanical feedback from devices might inform both research and personal activity habits. In addition, he offers a global perspective on funding challenges, collaboration needs, and the value of AI in democratizing support and feedback for people with disabilities. The episode ends with an optimistic message: meaningful change doesn't require perfection—it just requires a step forward, however small. _______________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

What stops people with disabilities from being physically active? In this episode, we discuss real barriers—and real solutions—from lived experiences and research. From neuropathic pain to equipment costs, Dr. James Haley shares what truly matters when designing inclusive activity interventions. In this continuation of the conversation between Dr. James Haley and host Dr. Olli Tikkanen, the focus shifts to the day-to-day challenges that prevent people with disabilities—especially spinal cord injuries—from engaging in physical activity. Dr. Haley outlines individual, environmental, and social barriers, such as fatigue, lack of adapted equipment, inaccessible facilities, and social stigma. Importantly, he also shares insights into what motivates and supports physical activity, including community, co-designed interventions, and creative at-home options. The episode explores how sports like wheelchair basketball foster belonging and motivation, while also addressing global disparities in access to inclusive programs. Dr. Haley also touches on his vision for scaling his work beyond the UK to low- and middle-income countries. Finally, the discussion includes practical examples and participant experiences from his research, as well as reflections on co-design principles and the potential future role of AI in enhancing adaptive health technologies. _____________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

CNBC doesn't want you thinking about cash flow. Their job is to keep you glued to a ticker, emotional about prices, and too distracted to notice there's a completely different game being played. Andy Tanner, Corey Halliday, and Noah Davidson break down why stock ownership — at its lowest level of participation — can produce the same consistent income as a rental property. Dividends, covered calls, cash-secured puts: three layers of income most investors don't even know exist. You'll hear why buying a stock on sale has nothing to do with hoping it goes higher, why falling prices can actually accelerate your returns, and why a 1% dividend yield isn't the end of the story — it's just the beginning. The only thing standing between you and a monthly cash flow from stocks is the knowledge nobody bothered to teach you.

‍Traditionally seen as a productivity flaw, time blindness is revealed here as a money problem, quietly undermining pricing, profits, and self-worth for solopreneurs with ADHD.This episode explores why common fixes like timers and time blocking miss the deeper issue, and instead, offers practical ways to design around the unique ADHD brain.Listeners can expect actionable tools—like range pricing, value-based pricing, and multipliers—to help create smarter, ADHD-friendly business practices.Key Takeaways: 1. Why time blindness is more of a money issue than a productivity problemMissed deadlines are visible, but it's the underpriced projects and unseen labor that are draining your profits.2. How the ADHD brain's sense of time impacts your pricing (and sends you into the red)3. Why accurate estimation is a myth—and what to do insteadSpoiler: The strategic move is to build pricing that works with your brainThe Three Places You're Losing MoneyThe invisible cost of time blindness shows up in three big ways in most service-based businesses—and maybe in yours too:● Quoting New Work: Saying “yes” to projects we've never done, referencing a project that only looks similar, and then confidently (but cluelessly) assigning a price. Inevitably, unknowns explode, and you end up working for free● Scoping Familiar Work: Every project you think you know by heart, but memory only shows you the highlight reel.● Hidden Labor: The worst offender. All the little admin tasks, endless revisions, back-and-forth emails, and extra meetings never get included in my quote. They don't feel like “billable” work, but they devour hours and energy in unpaid work.Six Pricing Strategies that Correct The Effects of Time Blindness:● Range Pricing: Quote within a range, not a fixed number.● Value-Based Pricing: Charge for outcomes, not hours.● Multipliers & Buffers: Take your default quote and multiply it (1.5x, 2x, even 2.5x if you're feeling brave).● Project vs. Hourly Pricing: Bill by project, not hours, so you're aren't penalized for hyperfocus sprints● Built-In Revision Rounds & Communication Caps: Set clear boundaries on extra work and comms, and make it official.Time blindness isn't going away—but by meeting your brain where it is, you can transform ADHD traits from liabilities into business assets. Design your pricing not despite your ADHD, but in partnership with it—and start keeping your hard-earned money where it belongs: in your business.Try The Multiplier Experiment on your next proposal:1. Write down the number you want to send.2. Multiply it by 1.5x (or higher—it should feel just a bit stretchy).3. Send that quote. Notice the resistance, the stories, the “what ifs.”4.

People with disabilities face more barriers to physical activity—but technology is offering new hope. In this episode, we explore one of the world's first exercise apps designed specifically for people with multiple disabilities. Dr. James Haley, a health psychologist from the University of Chichester, joins host Dr. Olli Tikkanen to discuss how co-designed mobile health interventions can support individuals with complex needs. Drawing from his PhD work at Loughborough University, Dr. Haley shares insights into the development and evaluation of the "Accessorize" app—an inclusive tool created during the COVID-19 pandemic to help people with various disabilities become more physically active. In this first part of their conversation, Dr. Haley explains how the app adapts to users with spinal cord injuries, amputations, or achondroplasia, allowing them to customize workouts based on environment, goals, and available equipment. He also discusses the outcomes of usability studies, the behavior change techniques embedded in the app, and the challenges faced in conducting feasibility trials with disabled populations. This episode is a must-listen for researchers, developers, and healthcare professionals interested in digital health, inclusive design, and physical activity promotion for underrepresented groups. ___________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Becca sits down with Jessica Werner, founder of North Shore Learning, to unpack a hard truth in schools: many leaders believe they understand staff well-being, but are relying on assumptions instead of real data.Together, they explore how well-being, retention, and leadership decisions are deeply connected and why anecdotal signals like “people seem happy” or “no one is in crisis” are not enough to guide action.Jessica shares how collecting simple, meaningful data can help leaders identify what is actually impacting teacher satisfaction, workload, and long-term retention. The conversation highlights how proactive support, rather than reactive responses, can reduce burnout and turnover while strengthening school culture.They also discuss how schools with stronger retention intentionally pair every new initiative with a support plan, recognizing that added expectations without support erode well-being over time.In this episode:• Why leaders often misread staff well-being without data • The difference between anecdotal impressions and actionable insights • Simple ways to start gathering meaningful well-being data immediately • How attendance patterns, workload, and informal check-ins reveal hidden trends • Why every initiative should include a parallel plan for teacher support • The financial and cultural cost of reactive turnover versus proactive retention • How acknowledging teachers' full lives outside of school shapes morale and sustainabilityThe core message: well-being is not a single program or strategy. It is a set of conditions that can be measured, supported, and strengthened when leaders shift from assumptions to data-informed action.Learn more about Jessica & Northshore Learning at northshorelearning.org, the place where school support meets real classroom impact.Grab your copy of The Resistance Solution

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I had a very interesting chat about collecting Yes music - different pressings, different versions, different formats.

There is no perfect time. There is only the moment you decide to move. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the perfect timing trap and why waiting for ideal conditions kills more dreams than failure ever will. Let's be real… If you are waiting for the economy to calm down… Your bank account to look perfect… Your schedule to clear up… And every risk to disappear… You are going to wait forever. In this episode, you'll learn: Why perfect conditions will never exist How waiting for the right time becomes an excuse for fear Why messy action beats perfect planning every time How fast execution creates real data, momentum, and confidence The truth is simple: The market does not care if you feel ready. The opportunity does not wait until your life is convenient. And your future will not be built by standing still. You have to move before you feel fully prepared. Launch the offer. Test the idea. Get the first customer. Collect the feedback. Adjust as you go. Because action gives you clarity that planning never will. The best time to start was years ago. The second best time is right now. Drop the excuses. Move in the chaos. And create your own perfect timing. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Woven throughout are honest life updates: navigating her second pregnancy, the power of accountability, and how to embrace change as an entrepreneur.In This EpisodeWhy accountability partners (and assistant nudges) are the secret to getting things doneHow pregnancy #2 has looked very different — and why Kelsey is packing her calendar before mat leaveDebating winter babies vs. summer babies (she genuinely wants your input)The Picasso story and what it teaches you about price vs. valueHow to know if your prices are too low, too high, or just rightThe truth about cold pitch emails — when to say yes and when to runA step-by-step Instagram strategy for business owners who feel scatteredThe four-part Instagram sales funnel: Create, Connect, Collect, ConvertWhy showing up imperfectly beats waiting for perfect every timeKey TakeawaysAccountability changes everything. You'll cancel on yourself, but you won't cancel on someone else. Use that psychology intentionally — schedule with others, hire coaches, or create external check-ins to move your biggest projects forward.Pricing is a gut check. If you feel undervalued after every transaction, your prices are too low. If you feel like you're ripping someone off, they may be too high. When it feels like a mutual exchange of value — you've nailed it.Evaluate cold pitches with your wallet and your gut. Only pay for media opportunities you're 100% okay losing. Ask for traffic stats, audience demographics, and backlink terms. Some are incredible; many aren't.Brand pillars create consistency. Before you open Instagram again, define 3–4 content pillars — at least one professional, one personal — and some rules for what you won't post. Decision fatigue is the enemy of consistency.Don't stop at "create." Most business owners post and walk away. The real magic is in connecting with your audience, collecting intel on what they need, and then actually making an offer.Memorable Quotes"Picasso was pricing based on his value. He's put in thousands and thousands of hours — so to charge on an hourly basis simply does not make sense.""Once you make that leap, you can then decide: is this the right place for me, or do I need to keep moving forward? That's what you do through life — you just keep turning the next page.""The ratio of people who show up and create good content is probably 1% of Instagram users. The people who want to consume? Probably 99%.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in Scripture. In the story of Joseph and his brothers, guilt lingers and relationships remain complicated, but Joseph responds to God's calling to overcome evil with good. Where we see hurt, God can still bring healing, redemption, and good.

Are Your Incentives Creating the Customer Experience You Actually Want? Summary: John DiJulius explains how the behaviors your company rewards, measures, and recognizes become the customer experience your customers actually receive. Every company has incentives. Some are obvious: bonuses, commissions, contests, scorecards, performance reviews, and promotions. Others are quieter: praise, attention, flexibility, and who gets celebrated in meetings. But here is the real question: are your incentives creating the customer experience you actually want? In this episode, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius unpack how incentives drive service behaviors, why companies often reward the wrong things, and how customers ultimately feel whatever the organization values internally. John shares examples from Starbucks, Spirit Airlines, Blockbuster, Charles Schwab, Amazon, John Roberts Spa, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, and The DiJulius Group's own methodology. You will learn why speed, efficiency, sales, and profit are not bad metrics, but they become dangerous when they are the only metrics that matter. John also explains how leaders can recognize and reward the right behaviors, including ownership, personalization, follow-through, referrals, retention, service recovery, and Above and Beyond moments. Key Takeaways Your incentives reveal what your company truly values. Leaders may say customer experience is a priority, but employees follow what gets measured, rewarded, promoted, and recognized. Customers feel your internal reward system. They may never see your incentive plan, but they feel it when employees rush, enforce policy over empathy, or focus on transactions over relationships. Efficiency metrics can create unintended consequences. Metrics like average call time, speed, and volume are not bad, but they become dangerous when they are the only things that matter. Not all profits are good profits. Hidden fees, late fees, rigid policies, and short-term revenue plays can damage trust and exhaust frontline employees. Recognition is a powerful teaching tool. Culture is shaped by what leaders notice, celebrate, repeat, and turn into stories. Great service must be behaviorally defined. "Deliver great service" is too vague. Leaders need to define and reward specific behaviors such as ownership, empathy, personalization, follow-through, teamwork, problem prevention, and service recovery. The best service incentives align with retention and referrals. Repeat business, referrals, renewals, and earned sales growth are strong indicators that the experience is working. Stories make culture scalable. Recognition systems like the Milkshake Award and Bear Claw Award help employees understand what Above and Beyond service looks like in real life. Quotes "Customers do not experience your mission statement. They experience what your company rewards." "What gets recognized gets repeated." "If you reward speed, you get speed. If you reward shortcuts, you get shortcuts." "Not all profits are good profits." "Recognition does not always have to be financial. Sometimes culture is built by what gets noticed." "Great service is too vague unless leaders define the behaviors behind it." "The customer is the benefactor of what the company rewards internally." "Your incentives should be aligned with the experience you want delivered." "Profit is the byproduct of the experience you deliver." "Employees will do what you tell them is important." Chapters List 00:00 — Introduction Denise and John open the conversation and preview the topic of incentives that drive service behaviors. 02:51 — Why Incentives Matter to Customer and Employee Experience Denise frames the episode around formal and informal incentives and asks whether companies are rewarding the experience they actually want. 04:52 — What Gets Recognized Gets Repeated John explains why incentives shape employee behavior and how policies communicate what a company values. 07:59 — Incentives Reveal What Companies Truly Believe Denise and John discuss how incentive systems expose a company's real priorities. 09:13 — Starbucks and Customer Service Targets The conversation explores what it signals when a company connects employee rewards to customer service, operations, and performance. 12:24 — The Risk of Unintended Consequences John explains how incentives can unintentionally create the wrong behaviors, using average call time and rigid policy enforcement as examples. 14:01 — Not All Profits Are Good Profits John shares examples from The Employee Experience Revolution, including Blockbuster and Charles Schwab, to show how bad profit policies damage customer trust. 18:01 — How Incentives Show Up in the Customer Experience John explains how retention, referrals, and repeat business reveal whether the experience is actually working. 20:12 — Where Companies Accidentally Reward the Wrong Behaviors John shares the example of gift cards, expiration dates, and the difference between short-term profit and lifetime customer value. 23:42 — Lessons from Low-Cost Business Models Denise and John discuss Spirit Airlines, price competition, and what happens when low cost becomes high friction. 26:31 — Warning Signs Your Incentives Are Creating Bad Behaviors John explains how complaints, employee frustrations, contact centers, and customer sentiment can reveal service breakdowns. 31:45 — What Leaders Should Recognize and Reward John discusses service behaviors, FORD, earned sales growth, referrals, retention, and recognition systems. 38:39 — Mid-Episode CTA Denise explains how The DiJulius Group helps organizations define, teach, measure, and reinforce world-class service. 39:59 — Recognition Without Big Incentive Budgets John shares the Milkshake Award from Cameron Mitchell Restaurants and explains how symbols and storytelling reinforce culture. 43:45 — How to Collect and Share Service Stories John explains how companies can build databases of Above and Beyond stories and use them in meetings, training, and onboarding. 49:40 — Avoiding Forced or Manipulated Recognition Denise and John discuss how to seek customer feedback without creating survey-chasing behavior. 53:23 — Peer-to-Peer Recognition John shares the importance of employees recognizing other employees, including the "caught you doing something right" example. 55:53 — The Simplest Truth About Incentives and Service Culture John closes with the core message: incentives and recognition should be based on the experience you want employees to deliver. 57:26 — Denise's Closing Challenge Denise challenges leaders to examine what their company rewards, praises, promotes, tolerates, and repeats.

The summary of the Collect prayer for the Fifth Sunday After Easter Mass is this: "All good things come from you, O Lord. Grant that we may think as You think, desire what You desire, and do what You do." The good works of Christ being manifest through us are, by far, not depended upon our perfection. They are completely dependent on His perfection being the strength in our weaknesses and frailties as well as the fullness that completes what we lack. Our created purpose is to know our God, and from knowing Him to glorify Him as He manifests Himself through us. There our joy is made full.

In this episode, I'm diving into why “nice” testimonials are often not enough to actually sell your offer — and why the most effective social proof comes from stories that prove transformation. I explain the difference between simple testimonials and powerful case studies, and why people buy when they can clearly see themselves in someone else's journey. Instead of vague praise like “she was amazing to work with,” your audience needs evidence that your process solves the exact problem they're struggling with. That's where my TRUST method comes in: Tell the problem, uncover the Roadblock, explain what they did with you, Show the results, and highlight the Transformation that followed. I also walk through real examples of how detailed case studies can completely shift buyer confidence. From a membership launch that grew by 300+ members to a webinar success story that went from 10–15 signups and zero live attendees to 96 signups, 21 live viewers, and a first course sale, these stories show how specifics, emotion, and measurable results help overcome objections. We also talk about where to use case studies (spoiler: everywhere), how to gather them consistently, and why collecting client wins is your responsibility as a business owner. Plus, I introduce my Success Story Framework — designed to help you easily collect compelling testimonials and case studies with interview prompts, scripts, and email swipe files. 3 Key Takeaways: Stories Sell Better Than Praise A testimonial saying someone “loved working with you” is nice — but it doesn't necessarily drive sales. Case studies work because they tell a story your audience can emotionally connect with and see themselves inside. Specific Results Build Trust Faster The more specific the transformation, the more believable and persuasive it becomes. Numbers, emotional shifts, and clear before-and-after examples help remove doubts and objections. Collecting Success Stories Is Part of Marketing Great testimonials don't usually appear by accident. Gathering client wins consistently and intentionally should become a regular part of your business process — because social proof directly impacts conversions. LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE Kristin's website Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list,  Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube, Success Story Framework Transcript Your testimonials are costing you sales, and not because you don't have happy clients, I am confident that you do, but because you're not getting the right types of testimonials and the right types of case studies that are helping you sell your offer. In today's video, I am gonna be sharing with you the TRUST method, the exact framework that I use to gather case studies in my business that help really explain what I do for my customers, help overcome objections, and ultimately help sell my offers. If we've not met, my name is Teresa Heath-Wareing, and I work with coaches, membership owners, and course creators to help them grow their online business, and I do this through my signature program, Grow Launch Sell, which helps you grow your audience, launch your offers, and sell with confidence. So one of the big mistakes that I see all the time when I'm working with course creators, membership owners, and [00:01:00] coaches is when they come to sell their offers, they are not actually proving to their potential customers that they can actually help with the problem. And by this, I mean they are not giving enough case studies and testimonials. Now, I need to tell you a little backstory about me when it comes to this, because I was really bad at doing this. And if you watch my video about people liked me but they weren't buying from me, we'll obviously put a link to that in the description and show notes, then what you'll see or what I talk about was that I was really afraid to share case studies and testimonials because in my head I like to be very ethical, and I am never the one thing that got them the results, right? For one, I didn't physically do the work. They have to do the work. And two, there is often other things involved with it, and I always felt a little bit like, is it being deceitful? Is it not being honest by sharing these results because it wasn't just down to me? And the truth is, every case study and [00:02:00] testimonial we ever read is never just down to the person they worked with. There are always so many different factors. But the problem was I was letting that stop me from actually sharing or putting any of them out there because I was thinking, "This isn't just down to me." So for instance, let's take the two Lauras. They came to work with me when they wanted to start a membership, and they wanted to put together the membership, they wanted to launch it, and they wanted to get members in. And I worked with them. They actually had six weeks to do this in, and they worked incredibly fast. We all did. We put together a plan, we went through all the steps, and we launched their first ever membership. And their first ever membership got over 300 members in their first go, which is huge and a massive income generator for them. But for a very long time, I didn't share that I supported them with that. And the reason I didn't share is because one of the things that were m- pretty critical to their success was the fact that they had a good [00:03:00] audience. And my fear was that if I shared that I helped them get 300 members in their membership, or 300 plus members, I think it was actually about 350 in the end, that people would think, "Oh, she can do that." Well, I can't guarantee that. Of course I can't. But the problem was, instead of thinking I played a massive part in that that I can share and talk about, and I can use that story to inspire other people, I just completely went the opposite way, and I never said a thing about it. But what that results in is people not buying from me because they don't know I can actually get them the results they're after. So we need to get over the fact that we are part of their story, even if it's not the entire story. Even if they have to physically do the work, if you're a coach, then you'll know you're just supporting them. They've got to actually make the changes. But I think we need to take ownership that we are part of that story and not be afraid to share those testimonials. So I wanted to share that just in case you were thinking, "Yeah, but I feel bad, 'cause I wasn't just [00:04:00] part of that whole thing." So I felt the same. We need to share the testimonials. Okay, so let me tell you the difference between testimonials and case studies. So testimonials are effectively the thing that your customer writes that tells you why you were so brilliant. So we are often asked for testimonials, and we'll often say to them, "Could you write something that I can share that was lovely about me, or that you liked working with me, or the results you got from working with me?" One of the things about this is, one, it's just a snapshot. Two, we're very much reliant on our customer telling us the things that they want to tell us, and sometimes the things that we want to get from it aren't always gonna come out because they're just writing something. And the ownership is on them to think of something, create something, and have something. But a testimonial tends to be a snapshot, tends to be short, tends to be kind of the headlines, if you like. So for instance, this would be a testimonial. So for instance, I worked with Rosanna. She did her first ever launch with me, and she wrote this amazing [00:05:00] testimonial. But that is a testimonial, not a case study. The beauty of a case study is it tells more of a story. Okay, so let's take this one from the amazing Kristin. Now, if you've ever seen me talk before, and I'm smiling already because I love this one so much, you will have seen me talk about Kristin. Because Kristin's story, the case study around Kristin, isn't just the fact that she got X amount of people on a webinar and she got a sale. So the story behind Kristin is that she had actually ran four webinars, and she had had a maximum of 10 to 15 signups to all of those webinars, and no one turned up live. So- In telling this story, you can hear the fact of, like, no one turned up live. That sucks, man. And often if I'm sharing this where I'm presenting, I'll talk about the fact of if you've run webinars and you've ever had that experience, you know how that...

Jeffrey Epstein appeared to gravitate toward a very specific category of scientist and intellectual during the later decades of his life: elite researchers working at the cutting edge of fields tied to human intelligence, genetics, artificial intelligence, physics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and transhumanist-style theories about the future of humanity. Epstein surrounded himself with prominent academics from institutions like Harvard University, MIT, and other major research centers, often portraying himself as a patron of advanced scientific inquiry. He seemed especially drawn to scientists studying cognition, human behavior, reproductive science, and technological transformation, areas that aligned with his fascination with elitism, genetic legacy, and the idea of shaping future generations through intelligence and selective breeding. Numerous researchers later acknowledged attending dinners, conferences, or meetings funded or organized by Epstein, sometimes years after his 2008 conviction.Critics later argued that Epstein used the prestige of science and academia as both social camouflage and a gateway into elite institutional circles that could rehabilitate his public image. By attaching himself to celebrated thinkers, Nobel Prize winners, futurists, and influential researchers, Epstein cultivated the appearance of being a serious intellectual benefactor rather than a convicted sex offender attempting to re-enter polite society. Several scientists who interacted with him later faced backlash after the depth of those relationships became public, particularly as details emerged about private dinners, funding arrangements, advisory connections, and visits to Epstein's homes and properties. The pattern led many observers to conclude that Epstein was not randomly collecting famous names, but deliberately curating relationships with thinkers whose status, influence, and cutting-edge work fit into his obsession with power, status, intelligence, and social engineering.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
