Courage can show up in telling the truth, making difficult decisions, and acting without having all the answers. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ryan Berman explore what courage looks like in leadership, how fear shapes our choices, and how we can build the courage to move forward. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ryan Berman discuss: Why telling the truth and staying authentic takes courage How fear shapes leadership and workplace culture Building courage through curiosity and experimentation Using knowledge, belief, and action to make decisions Managing loneliness and perspective in leadership Key Takeaways: Create more alignment between your personal and professional self by examining whether your work reflects the values that give you energy. Make courageous conversations safer by checking impact and asking what the other person heard instead of assuming your intent was clear. Treat mistakes as part of experimentation, creating space to test ideas, learn from what happens, and keep moving. Use knowledge, faith, and action together to avoid paralysis from overthinking or recklessness from acting without enough understanding. Pay attention to relationships that may shift as you grow in leadership, and make connection and shared purpose part of how you lead. "Knowledge plus faith plus action equals courage.” — Ryan Berman About Ryan Berman: Ryan Berman is a corporate fear fighter, founder of Courageous, author of Return On Courage, and host of The Courageous Podcast. For 25+ years, Ryan has helped companies operationalize courage where they need it most, counseling organizations including Google, Procter & Gamble, Kellogg's, Kraft Heinz, Bausch & Lomb, Tropicana, the Atlanta Falcons, and Snapchat. His consulting firm, Courageous, guides clients through courageous conversations, decisions, ideas, and transformation.

Scripture is filled with thanksgiving, and gratitude ought to be a constant part of the Christian heart. We should thank Him for His blessings, His grace, His provision, His forgiveness, and the countless ways He works in our lives.But before I thank God for what He has done, I want to remember who God is.There is something powerful about approaching God without beginning with ourselves. Before I get to what He has given me, what I need from Him, or what I hope He will do, I simply praise Him. He is holy. He is righteous. He is eternal. He is Creator. He is King. He is worthy.Praise says, “God, You deserve my worship whether You give me anything else or not.” It glorifies Him not first for His gifts, but for His Deity and identity. “Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised” (Psalm 145:3).So yes, thank God. Thank Him often. Bring your requests to Him. Tell Him what you need. But maybe before any of that, spend some time simply telling God how great He is.Praise His name. Honor His glory. Worship Him from the heart. Thank Him—but praise Him first.

AI is reshaping jobs, workflows, and the way organizations operate. In this episode, Dean Newlund talks with Nadav Wilf, founder of ZeremAI, about how CEOs can build an AI strategy that drives business results.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Nadav Wilf discuss: Where AI is changing jobs and responsibilities The three stages of AI use inside a business Turning AI productivity into deeper operational automation How different approaches to AI regulation affect innovation What AI companions could mean for human connection   Key Takeaways: Start with business needs and workflows when deciding where AI can create the most value. Move beyond basic prompting by progressing toward automated and AI native systems as your organization develops its capabilities. Look for entire responsibilities AI can take over rather than using it only to make existing tasks faster. Understand the tradeoffs behind AI regulation and how approaches in the United States, European Union, and China shape innovation, risk, and control. Be intentional about human relationships as AI companions become more common and consider how technology can support rather than replace human connection.   "AI is incredibly exciting. There's so much opportunity and things you can do, and there's a lot [you] can't do still, and it's about creating that relationship and finding that balance.” — Nadav Wilf   About Nadav Wilf: Nadav Wilf is an entrepreneur, investor, and the CEO of ZeremAI, a company at the forefront of AI implementation and systems automation. With a career spanning over two decades, Nadav is a three-time founder with multiple successful exits who has dedicated his life to understanding how technology can unlock human potential. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for human talent, Nadav approaches it as a catalyst for a high-performance culture, helping organizations restructure their workflows to reclaim massive amounts of productive time. A dynamic speaker and strategic advisor, he speaks passionately about the transition into an AI-first economy, the rise of AI agents, and how leaders can navigate the massive cultural and operational shifts of the modern workplace.   Connect with Nadav Wilf:   Website: https://zerem.ai/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadavwilf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadavwilf/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Authority isn't about having the loudest voice or the biggest title. It's about consistently creating value that earns trust over time. In this episode, Dean Newlund sits down with Mitch Matthews to discuss building authentic authority, creating career options, communicating with authenticity, and leading with curiosity.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Mitch Matthews discuss: Why authority is earned instead of borrowed The lighthouse post approach to building influence Creating more career options before you need them Showing up authentically instead of performing Leading with curiosity in difficult conversations   Key Takeaways: Borrowed authority may open doors, but lasting influence comes from consistently sharing your own experience and expertise. You don't need to quit your job to build something meaningful; small, consistent investments of time can create future opportunities. The most effective communication feels natural because people connect with authenticity more than a carefully crafted persona. Boredom often signals a need for growth, and introducing something new can restore energy and momentum. Curiosity creates space for understanding and makes difficult conversations more productive than trying to prove someone else wrong.   "When we talk about authority and impact, it's being able to say, 'How do we have a positive impact on the people we feel called to help?'” — Mitch Matthews   About Mitch Matthews: Mitch Matthews is a success coach, speaker, and creator of the top 1% podcast DREAM THINK DO - where he helps high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on the planet to do. He's worked with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney, and he's the creator of The Authority Bridge™ - a proven process that helps professionals turn their experience into a coaching and speaking business they love.   Connect with Mitch Matthews:   Website: https://mitchmatthews.com/ Show: The DREAM THINK DO Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dream-think-do-motivation-encouragement-strategy/id958773768 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchmatthews/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mitch.matthews.104/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitch.matthews/ The Authority Bridge™ initiative: https://mitchmatthews.com/authoritybridge/ Get Mitch's weekly insights at MitchMatthews.com/4things Free guide on finding and keeping your first coaching clients at MitchMatthews.com/44ways Free resource for building a coaching or business practice at MitchMatthews.com/11prayers     See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Strong leaders know that facts alone rarely change minds. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Danny Bobrow explore why authentic connection comes before persuasion and how leaders can communicate in ways that earn trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire action.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Danny Bobrow discuss: Lessons from endurance sports and teamwork The Persuasion Blueprint framework Persuasion in digital and AI-assisted communication Building stronger relationships through emotional awareness Leadership communication during difficult conversations   Key Takeaways: Begin difficult conversations by helping people feel understood before trying to convince them. Care and emotional attunement create the foundation for collaboration. Let enthusiasm grow by discovering what already motivates the other person instead of overwhelming them with your own excitement. In digital communication, take time to write thoughtful, respectful messages that provide context and show consideration. Before debating emotional issues, understand where someone is coming from instead of leading with facts alone. Use AI to support your thinking, but preserve authentic judgment and relationships where trust depends on your own words.   "What people are really craving is to be understood, not to be impressed.” — Danny Bobrow   About Danny Bobrow: Daniel A. “Danny” Bobrow is the creator of The Art of First Impressions™ and The Persuasion Blueprint™, communication mastery programs that help businesses build trust and drive ethical conversion. He is President of AIM Dental Marketing, which has helped grow dental practices since 1989, and serves as Executive Director of Climb for a Cause™ and The Smile Tree™.

You'll discover that God's process isn't standing in the way of His purpose—it is His purpose.Whether you're facing loss, uncertainty, unanswered prayer, or a season of waiting, Romans 8:28 offers real hope for every believer who loves God and is called according to His purpose.Scriptures Covered:Romans 8:28–39, Ephesians 3:10, Matthew 6:34, 2 Timothy 2:12, Amos 7:1If this message encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who needs the hope found in God's Word.

Google Ads and Local Services Ads are undergoing some of their biggest changes yet—and pest control companies are directly in the path of those changes.Beginning in August 2026, Google is starting the migration of Local Services Ads into the Google Ads platform, with pest control included among the first U.S. home-service industries affected. At the same time, AI Max and Google's increasingly AI-driven approach to Search are changing how advertisers reach potential customers.But there's another side to this conversation that may be even more important:What happens after Google generates the lead?On this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis of Rhino Pest Control Marketing discusses both sides of the equation—how Google is changing the way pest control leads are generated and why pest control companies need to dramatically improve the way those opportunities are handled once the phone rings.Far too many pest control companies still depend on the one-call sale.A potential customer calls and says:"I'm calling around.""I need to talk to my wife.""That's more than I expected.""Thank you. I'll call you back."And that's where the sales process ends.In some companies, the CSR doesn't even get the caller's name before hanging up.Casey explains why statements like "I'm just price shopping" are often a smokescreen for the customer's real objection—and why CSRs need to learn how to uncover what's actually preventing the customer from scheduling.Instead of simply accepting "I'll call you back," what would happen if your CSR asked:"What would it take to get you scheduled for treatment so we can eliminate the problem you're having?"That's where the real conversation begins.Casey also discusses why CRM, automated follow-up, lead tracking, and sales training are becoming increasingly important as Google moves deeper into AI-powered advertising.Because generating more leads isn't necessarily the answer.If you're paying Google to generate opportunities but your company isn't capturing their information, tracking them, following up, and measuring how many ultimately become paying customers, you may not have a lead-generation problem—you may have a conversion problem.In this episode, you'll discover:• What's changing with Google Local Services Ads beginning in August 2026• Why pest control is among the industries affected by Google's initial LSA migration• How AI Max is changing traditional Google Search campaigns• Why Google is moving toward more automation and AI-driven optimization• What pest control companies should be doing now to prepare• Why "price shopping" isn't always the real objection• The question your CSRs should be asking before letting a prospect walk away• Why every legitimate caller should become a trackable opportunity in your CRM• How automated follow-up can recover opportunities that didn't book on the first call• Why pest control owners should measure leads all the way through booked jobs and revenue• How CSR training and CRM data can become a competitive advantage in the new AI-driven advertising environmentGoogle can use all the AI in the world to find someone with an ant, roach, rodent or termite problem—but Google can't make your CSR close the sale.That's still your responsibility.If you're a pest control owner who wants to understand where Google advertising is heading—and how to make sure you're actually converting the opportunities you're already paying for—this is an episode you don't want to miss.Casey LewisRhino Pest Control MarketingRhino Digital Media, Inc.Website: RhinoPros.comPest Control Marketing: RhinoPestControlMarketing.comEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Strategy Call: RhinoPros.com/contact/Podcast: RhinoPros.com/podcast/YouTube: @RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook: Rhino Pest Control MarketingLinkedIn: Casey Lewis

When dentistry slows down, patients open up and better care becomes possible.In this episode, Dr. Brett Kessler shares how recovery reshaped his identity, leadership, and approach to dentistry after getting sober in his third year of practice. He opens up about the core values, mindfulness, coaching, and preparation that helped him face fear in every arena, from starting a practice from scratch to completing five Ironman races and stepping into leadership roles with the Colorado Dental Association and the American Dental Association.He also walks through the relationship-based model that made his de novo practice a destination for comprehensive care. Rather than chasing volume or relying on technology to impress patients, he slowed the process down with a thoughtful discovery session rooted in Pankey philosophy: treat the person attached to the tooth. From patient conversations and handwritten notes to root-cause treatment planning and organized dentistry advocacy, this conversation is a grounded reminder that meaningful dentistry starts with clarity, courage, and connection.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How recovery shaped Dr. Kessler's leadership, values, and personal growth.Why fear never fully disappears, and how preparation helps you move through it.How a de novo practice became a competitive advantage through relationship-based care.Why leading-edge technology matters less than the philosophy behind it.How to attract the right patients without building a volume-driven practice.What happens during a high-trust, one-hour dental discovery session.Questions that help patients connect oral health, function, aesthetics, and overall wellness.How simple patient “homework” can lead to deeper awareness and better treatment planning.Why organized dentistry can be frustrating, slow, and still deeply important.How dentists can find support through coaches, colleagues, advocacy, and community.Listen now for an honest, practical conversation about building a values-led life, practice, and profession without doing it alone.‍Sponsors:‍CallRail: Call tracking + AI that turns calls into campaigns that convert, quality patients, and cost savings.

A mother lost her son on I-74 to a crash that never had to happen. The technology to prevent it already existed. The trucking company just didn't install it.In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig talks with Celeste Bowens-Martin, a professional bus driver with a CDL and someone he has represented over the years. In March of 2025, Celeste's oldest son, Isaiah, 35, was killed on I-74 while driving home to Indianapolis from Illinois. His car had crossed the median and come to a complete stop in the opposite lane of travel. A 2024 Freightliner struck him. That truck could have been equipped with crash avoidance technology, sensors, cameras, and active braking that detect a stationary object and stop the truck when a driver doesn't react. It wasn't. Celeste, who has relied on that same safety technology to avoid crashes in her own bus, joins David to explain why she is now committed to advocating for change.✔️ How collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking systems actually detect stationary vehicles✔️ Why a 2024 Freightliner may still leave the lot without crash avoidance technology installed✔️ The real cost of adding these systems: a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per truck✔️ How safety sensors can be unplugged or left off, and why inspections matter✔️ A professional CDL driver's firsthand account of technology saving her from crashes✔️ Why families deserve answers when a preventable crash takes someone they loveDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. That means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable.

Is your accountant preparing your taxes or actively helping you reduce them?In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt speaks with Boris Musheyev, CPA, Certified Tax Strategist, and founder of BORISMTAX, about why profitable business owners often pay more in taxes than necessary.Boris explains the critical difference between tax preparation and proactive tax planning, when a growing business should begin working with a tax advisor, and why the advisor who helped when you launched may not have the experience required for your current income level.They also discuss how business owners can evaluate a tax advisor, why professional designations alone do not guarantee strategic expertise, and how year-round planning can uncover legal tax-saving opportunities before it is too late to use them.Key Takeaways✓ Why tax preparation and tax planning are two entirely different services.✓ When reaching approximately $100,000 in net profit should trigger a tax-strategy conversation.✓ How business owners can outgrow the accountant who served them during their early years.✓ What to examine before trusting a tax advisor with advanced strategies.✓ Why midyear planning and year-end projections are essential for reducing taxes legally.About Boris MusheyevBoris Musheyev is a CPA, Certified Tax Strategist, and founder of BORISMTAX, a tax planning and advisory firm serving entrepreneurs and business owners across the United States.

Deficiencies in an organization's RCMprocesses such as timeliness, accuracy and missing documentation can lead to lost revenue. According to a report by Change Healthcare, healthcare providers lose Approximately $262 billion in revenue every year due to payer denials. Payer denials stem from a variety of reasons including discrepancies in an organization's RCM process, some of which will be discussed in this post.

AI can now do far more than summarize meetings. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Artem Koren explore how meeting intelligence is evolving into AI that helps leaders execute business goals, improve collaboration, and rethink the future of work.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Artem Koren discuss: The evolution of AI-powered meeting intelligence Connecting everyday work to organizational goals Practical AI applications for business workflows Leadership behaviors in times of uncertainty Balancing automation with human judgment   Key Takeaways: AI can remove repetitive work, but leaders should continue reviewing its output to ensure it reflects their own thinking, judgment, and communication style. Custom AI workflows can help organizations evaluate meetings against their own standards, making it easier to reinforce desired behaviors and improve consistency. Rather than focusing only on individual tasks, AI can help employees connect their daily work to broader business goals and organizational priorities. When problems arise, leaders build stronger teams by staying calm, assessing the situation, addressing the immediate issue, and learning from what happened instead of reacting emotionally. Use AI to support decisions and execution, but preserve the human moments that strengthen relationships, trust, and personal connection.   "Assess the situation, stop the bleed, figure out what you do to prevent this thing from happening in the future, and implement those changes.” — Artem Koren   About Artem Koren: Artem is the Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Semby AI. Artem has 16+ years of product management experience and has applied AI learning to his work since 2009.

Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig breaks down one of the most dangerous places to be behind the wheel: a construction zone. Every summer, road work stretches across Indiana highways, and every year families lose loved ones in wrecks that never should have happened.In this episode of Ask David, David sits down with Ashley Napier, who oversees the litigation file managers at Craig, Kelley & Faultless and stays involved in cases directly. Together they dig into why construction zone truck wrecks are so much more complex than an ordinary car accident, what makes them so deadly, and how families can find answers after tragedy strikes. Ashley pulls real numbers straight from SemiCrashMap.com, and David explains a case they worked on together involving a truck driver who was killed while working underneath his broken-down truck.✔️ Why 2025 already saw 139 construction zone wrecks in Indiana, with 4 deaths and over 200 injured✔️ How SemiCrashMap.com shows where semi wrecks happen on I-70, I-65, and near Richmond and Wayne County✔️ Why most construction zone wrecks happen where lanes merge and traffic slows✔️ How speed, fatigue, distraction, and trucks on cruise control cause deadly rear-end crashes✔️ Who beyond the truck driver can be held accountable: brokers, shippers, contractors, and the state✔️ Why time limits and disappearing evidence make hiring the right attorney quickly so importantDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. That means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable. With more than 39 years handling semi-truck wreck cases, he has seen firsthand how a case treated like a simple car accident can leave families without the answers they deserve.One of the cases David and Ashley discuss stayed with them both. A driver whose truck broke down had to get underneath it in a construction zone. Another truck driver, impaired by drugs and traveling in the wrong lane, hit it and killed him. He left behind a wife and two children. Rather than accept the truck driver's minimum insurance, the team asked a harder question: why was there no safe place for him to pull off the highway?

Most families never stop to ask this question before hiring a lawyer: is the attorney still learning, or did they stop once they passed the bar?In this episode of Ask David, David Craig sits down with co-host Ashley Napier to break down why continuing education matters when you're choosing an attorney for a serious truck crash or wrongful death case. Law school teaches everyone how to think like a lawyer, but it doesn't teach anyone how to handle a semi-truck wreck. What separates a good trucking attorney from someone who just happens to take the case is what they've done in the years since. David Craig walks through his own path: from being one of the first lawyers in APITL (the first trucking-only plaintiff group in the country) to serving on the original Board of Regents of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, the group that created the ABA-accredited board certification in truck accident law.✔️ Why law school never teaches you how to handle a specific type of case✔️ How continuing legal education rules got looser after COVID (and why that matters)✔️ The difference between a general practitioner and a specialized trucking lawyer✔️ How to research whether an attorney actually keeps learning before you hire them✔️ What CKF's "Winning Truck Wreck Cases" Indiana seminar covers, and who speaks✔️ Why investing in board-certified paralegals changes the outcome for clientsDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. He's one of only four board-certified truck accident attorneys in the entire state of Indiana, and he's spent 39+ years handling semi-truck and commercial vehicle wreck cases. That certification means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable.What stood out to David over the years was watching one of the best trial lawyers in the country, John Romano, sitting in the audience at conferences taking notes. If someone that experienced still shows up to learn, the message is clear: the best lawyers never stop.

Where Real Estate Investors Lose MoneyReal estate investors often focus on purchase price, rental income, and appreciation while overlooking the expenses that quietly reduce their returns.Guest host Ken May talks with Sam Yang, owner of Overline IQ, about cost segregation, insurance expenses, ownership structures, excessive leverage, and the importance of planning before purchasing a property. Sam explains how investors can identify financial inefficiencies, protect their cash flow, and make decisions based on real numbers rather than emotion.5 Key TakeawaysTaxes and insurance are two of the most overlooked expenses affecting real estate returns.Cost segregation may allow qualifying property components to be depreciated more quickly.Renovations and partial asset disposition can create tax opportunities investors frequently miss.Proper ownership structures may help separate liability between properties and protect other assets.Successful investors forecast cash flow, prepare for unexpected expenses, and avoid becoming overleveraged.Connect With Sam YangWebsite: https://overlineiq.comEmail: sam@overlineiq.comPhone: 401-339-7930Connect with Ken May on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenmaymoney/This episode is for educational purposes and does not constitute individualized tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice.

Strong sales conversations are built long before the pitch begins. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos explore practical strategies for building trust, strengthening customer relationships, and creating memorable buying experiences in both in-person and virtual sales environments.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Glenn Poulos discuss: Relationship-driven approaches to professional selling Adapting traditional sales practices for virtual environments Communication techniques that strengthen customer trust Career decisions, entrepreneurship, and business growth Lessons learned from decades of sales and leadership experience   Key Takeaways: Listening carefully, remembering people, and learning about their environment creates stronger trust than leading with product features. Instead of covering everything you offer, identify the customer's primary problem and build your presentation around solving it. Whether meeting in person or virtually, thoughtful preparation, genuine rapport, and attention to detail leave a stronger impression than a polished sales pitch. Working for strong, market-leading organizations can create greater career growth and reduce the effort spent defending your value. Recognizing what you do well, letting go of poor-fit pursuits, and building on your strengths leads to greater confidence and effectiveness.   "You only have one life to live, so you should always work for the best possible company.” — Glenn Poulos   About Glenn Poulos: Glenn Poulos is a three-time entrepreneur and seasoned strategist leading ProgUSA, a long-standing power industry supplier focused on equipment and tools supporting today's grid and tomorrow's data center power needs.

Web: www.JonesHealthLaw.comPhone: (305)877-5054Instagram: @JonesHealthLawFacebook: @JonesHealthLawYouTube: @JonesHealthLawWhat is a Payer Audit?For Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers–those who offer research-based behavioral therapy–receiving notice of a payer audit or payment suspension can be one of the most disruptive events their practices face. An ABA payer audit occurs when a health insurance company conducts a formal review of a provider's claims, documentation, and billing practices to verify that its services are correctly coded and documented, and that they align with the payer's policies.When an audit identifies potential concerns, providers may face payment suspensions, contract termination, prepayment review, or even fraud investigations. These challenges can hinder cash flow or create staffing difficulties, impacting patient care. While audits can be stressful for practice owners, staying proactive and maintaining strong compliance practices can position them better to respond effectively to such operational challenges.

Great leadership doesn't begin with better answers—it begins with asking better questions. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ashley Jablow explore how design thinking can help leaders create intentional cultures, embrace uncertainty, and make better decisions through empathy, experimentation, and purposeful action.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ashley Jablow discuss: Applying design thinking beyond product development Why organizational culture should be intentionally designed Innovation, leadership, and navigating uncertainty Creativity within organizational and personal constraints Designing meaningful careers and life transitions   Key Takeaways: Start every challenge by understanding the people involved before jumping to solutions. Ashley explains that designing with empathy leads to more effective decisions for employees, customers, and leaders alike. Favor small, fast experiments over waiting for perfect plans. Ashley encourages leaders to learn from each attempt, iterate, and build confidence through continuous experimentation. Building innovative teams requires creating enough trust and psychological safety for people to contribute ideas, take healthy risks, and learn from failures without fear. Constraints such as limited time, resources, or existing commitments can become productive design tools by narrowing focus and encouraging more creative problem-solving. When facing uncertainty, Ashley recommends asking, “What is the smallest, fastest, cheapest thing that I could do or try today to learn the most?” to identify low-risk actions that generate valuable learning and momentum.   "You kind of have to build the plane while you're flying it.” — Ashley Jablow   About Ashley Jablow: Ashley Jablow (Jab-lo, pronouns: she/her) is the founder of Wayfinders Collective and creator of Life Design School, a creative studio for people in career and life transition.

Creating a Simpler Life: Reconnecting With Yourself Through Courage, Culture & PurposeIn this episode, we explore how living simply, acting courageously, and reconnecting with our true selves can transform everything — with Life Purpose & Fulfillment Coach, Silvia Resnik.Rediscovering Yourself by Creating a Simpler LifeSo many women appear to “have it all,” yet feel deeply disconnected from themselves. Silvia Resnik, founder of Simple Life Journey, understands this personally. In our conversation, she shares how a life-changing visit to Tanzania opened her heart to a new way of living — one based on authenticity, community, and simplicity.Silvia explains that modern women often lose themselves under layers of responsibility: work, home, family, expectations, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. Her message is clear: don't wait for the right moment — the “if” — to live the life you crave. Do it now.What We Can Learn From the MaasaiDuring her time in Tanzania, Silvia discovered ancient Maasai wisdom that shifted her entire worldview. Far removed from materialism and digital overload, the Maasai live with profound clarity: connection matters more than possessions, community matters more than competition, and joy is found in presence, not achievement.Silvia now integrates these lessons into both her coaching and the immersive trips she leads to Maasai bomas. Women who travel with her experience life stripped back to what truly matters — and often rediscover pieces of themselves they didn't even know were missing.The Hidden Struggles Women FaceThroughout the episode, Silvia identifies the core challenges women face today: Self-doubt and loss of identity Difficulty setting boundaries Lack of meaningful support networks Disconnection from themselves, others, and their purpose Cultural and societal pressures — including harmful practices like FGM Her solutions are grounded in kindness and courage: reflect, reconnect, set boundaries, celebrate soft skills, seek community, and learn from cultures that value humanity over busyness.EmpowerHER: Fighting FGM and Supporting Maasai GirlsOne of the most powerful parts of our conversation is Silvia's work as co-founder of EmpowerHER, a grassroots initiative supporting Maasai women and girls. The project focuses on: health education culturally respectful initiatives to end FGM entrepreneurship for women creating safer, empowered futures Her message is heartfelt: If even one person's life changes for the better because of what we do, then it all has meaning.Three Takeaways You'll Love Reconnect With Yourself – Life isn't about more achievement; it's about remembering who you are and what brings joy. Connection Creates Strength – Empowerment grows when women support, mentor, and uplift one another. Act From Love & Purpose – Your actions, even the small ones, can change lives — your own and others'. ABOUT THE GUEST — SILVIA RESNIKSilvia Resnik is a certified Life Purpose & Fulfillment Coach and the founder of Simple Life Journey, offering transformative coaching and authentic cultural travel experiences in Tanzania. With a rich background in early childhood education, business economics, HR, and entrepreneurship, Silvia blends deep coaching, intuitive insight, and ancient Maasai wisdom.

Under this agreement, the hospital offers financial support to help the physician establish their practice within the community. If the physician makes the guaranteed amount under the agreement and continues to practice in the community for the pre-determined duration as established under the agreement (also known as the “forgiveness period”), the hospital will forgive the loan. These agreements are commonly used in communities with a greater need for physicians or specialists, as they help support building their patient base during the early stages.

High-performing organizations don't improve engagement by chance. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ryan Englin explore why employee engagement is ultimately a leadership responsibility and how small, consistent actions can strengthen retention, trust, and business performance.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ryan Englin discuss: The relationship between leadership and employee engagement Recruiting as part of an organization's marketing strategy Building workplace cultures that improve retention Practical approaches to gathering employee feedback The business impact of disengagement on organizational performance   Key Takeaways: Leaders should regularly measure engagement through short quarterly pulse surveys and communicate what actions will be taken, helping employees see that their feedback leads to meaningful change. Frequent feedback conversations are more effective than relying solely on annual performance reviews because employees need ongoing clarity about expectations and opportunities for growth. According to Ryan, organizations attract stronger candidates when they become workplaces people genuinely want to join rather than relying primarily on recruiting tactics. Ryan argues that engagement grows when employees feel cared for, develop trusted workplace relationships, and have opportunities to build meaningful connections with colleagues. Disengagement can create measurable business costs through turnover, rework, overtime, and lower productivity, making employee engagement a leadership and financial priority.   "When you have an engaged workforce, they want to work for you, and they want to continue working for you.” — Ryan Englin   About Ryan Englin: Ryan Englin is passionate about helping growing businesses, particularly in blue-collar industries, build productive companies by hiring the right people. Growing up, he watched his father work long hours as an owner/operator and witnessed firsthand the challenges of hiring and retaining quality frontline employees. That experience inspired Ryan to help businesses find a better way. Through his company, Core Matters, Ryan provides coaching and training on attracting, hiring, and retaining top employees. Using his Core Fit Hiring System, he helps small and midsize businesses hire better people, faster. Over nearly a decade, Ryan has worked with more than 100 clients, helping business owners achieve their hiring and growth goals.   Connect with Ryan Englin:   Website: https://corematters.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corematters/ & https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanenglin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecorematters Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecorematters/     See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

AI is rapidly changing how organizations serve customers, but the most important business decisions still require human judgment. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ty Givens explore the evolving relationship between automation, customer experience, and leadership.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ty Givens discuss: The evolving relationship between technology and customer experience How organizations are adapting to rapid changes in AI Challenges and opportunities emerging in today's workforce The realities behind automation, efficiency, and business performance Skills and mindsets that remain valuable in a changing environment   Key Takeaways: AI works best when it handles routine questions quickly while still providing clear paths to human support when customers need it. Customer experience remains a competitive advantage, and companies that ignore the human side of service risk damaging loyalty and trust. The role of customer service professionals is evolving from handling transactions to managing, training, and improving AI-driven systems. Many organizations may be moving too quickly with AI implementation, often attempting to automate complex processes before the technology is ready. As automation expands, critical thinking, judgment, empathy, and complex problem-solving become even more valuable human skills.   "Happy employees create happy customers, and the opposite of that is also true.” — Ty Givens   About Ty Givens: Ty Givens is the Founder and CEO of CX Collective and CX Collective Advantage, bringing over 25 years of hands-on experience helping companies transform chaotic customer support teams into strategic growth engines. She has optimized operations and driven customer retention for major brands like Thrive Market, ShoeDazzle, See's Candies, and Intuit. People often call her the most relatable voice in CX because she's lived the work and knows what it feels like to inherit big expectations with limited support. Known for blending operational rigor with a human touch, Ty equips leaders with practical playbooks, automation strategies, and process improvements to scale customer experience effectively.   Connect with Ty Givens:   Website: https://www.cxcollective.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tybryantgivens/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstygivens/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Season 5, Episode 24Getting Real About Google Ads for Pest ControlIn this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis breaks down what pest control, wildlife control, and lawn care owners really need to understand before spending money on Google Ads.We discuss the difference between traditional PPC and Google Local Services Ads, why a Google Ads “conversion” is not always a real qualified lead, and how to think through the true cost of turning clicks into booked customers.Using a simple example of an $18 average cost per click, Casey explains how 8 to 10 clicks may create a Google Ads conversion, but once you factor in true lead quality and sales close rates, the real cost per new customer may be much higher than what shows inside the Google Ads dashboard.This episode also covers high-intent pest control keywords, the importance of strong landing pages, clean tracking, call handling, speed-to-lead, and recurring service value.The big takeaway: Google Ads can work extremely well for pest control companies, but only when the full system is built correctly—from the search keyword to the booked customer.Website: RhinoPestControlMarketing.comEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (866) 661-4107Podcast: The Pest Control Marketing Domination PodcastContact Rhino Pest Control Marketing

Kelli Verdi joins The Wrench Turners Podcast for a conversation about faith, family, automotive, customer trust, dealership culture, and why care is never just a soft skill.Kelli's story starts long before her career in automotive marketing. Her grandfather owned an automotive repair shop in Tampa, and without realizing it at the time, she was learning some of the most important lessons in the industry: how to treat people, how to earn trust, and how much the smallest details matter.That idea became one of the biggest lines from this episode:“Care levels become culture levels.”We talk about how that applies inside dealerships, service departments, websites, customer experiences, technician leadership, and even vendor relationships. From Google Analytics and dealership websites to service scheduling, reviews, AI search, OEM programs, and real conversations with people on the ground, Kelli brings a rare mix of marketing intelligence, automotive experience, and genuine human care.This episode also goes deeper than business. We talk about faith, burnout, leadership, personal loss, and the importance of taking care of yourself before you try to keep pouring into everyone else.In this episode, we cover:Kelli's early connection to automotive through her grandfather's repair shopWhy trust is built through tiny detailsHow care levels become culture levelsWhat dealership websites get wrong about customer experienceWhy service departments need better contentHow technicians and service leaders can help build trust before the customer arrivesWhy AI search and website content matter more than everHow Team MXS is approaching automotive website visibilityWhy taking care of yourself matters in this industryThe role faith has played in Kelli's storyThis is a conversation for technicians, advisors, service managers, fixed ops leaders, vendors, marketers, and anyone who still believes this industry is about people first.Follow Kelli:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelliverdi/Team MXSLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-mxs/postsWebsite: https://www.teammxs.comPhone: 1-866-665-4669Subscribe to The Wrench Turners Podcast for real conversations with technicians, shop foremen, service leaders, trainers, and automotive professionals who are working to make this trade healthier, happier, and more productive.Negative pushes.Positive pulls.God Blessj.⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

Every year, more than 5,000 people are killed and over 100,000 are seriously injured in crashes involving large commercial trucks. A lot of those crashes were preventable. Not because the technology didn't exist, but because someone made a deliberate choice not to pay for it.In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig, one of only four attorneys in Indiana Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, sits down with trial attorney J. Kent Emison of Langdon & Emison to talk about what really happens after a truck crash, and what most families never find out. Kent has handled catastrophic truck, product liability, and wrongful death cases across the country, and he brings deep technical knowledge about the safety systems that should be on these trucks.✔️ A government study tracked over 3 million miles and 6,000 automatic emergency braking activations, and found zero crashes resulting from those events✔️ Paccar published data in 2003 showing one second of warning could prevent 90% of rear-end truck accidents, yet two-thirds of trucks on the road today still lack these systems✔️ The manufacturer's cost to add collision mitigation technology is between $97 and $200 per truck, yet it's marked up over 600% and sold as an optional add-on that buyers routinely delete✔️ Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to crash scenes, sometimes before injured victims have been removed✔️ Ghost drivers, predatory freight brokers, and the economics that push small carriers to cut corners✔️ Reflective tape, underride guards, load shifts, and maintenance failures, the hidden causes that vanish if you don't investigate immediatelyOne detail from this episode is hard to shake. Kent describes a situation where a truck company showed up at the scene before the investigating officer was finished, while the injured victim was still in the hospital. The truck company was actively working to shape the report. That's not a rare exception. It's a documented pattern.

What if the future can't be understood through data, strategy, and forecasts alone? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Stephanie Trager explore how intuition, consciousness, self-awareness, and expanded perception may help leaders navigate uncertainty in entirely new ways.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Stephanie Trager discuss: What it means to become a “conscious futurist” The limitations of purely linear thinking when navigating uncertainty How stories, beliefs, and worldviews shape the futures we create Intuition, consciousness, non-linear perception, and expanded awareness Indigenous wisdom, nature connection, and the inner work of leadership   Key Takeaways: The future is shaped not only by trends and data but also by the stories and assumptions people collectively believe. Leaders may benefit from balancing analytical thinking with intuition, reflection, and broader forms of awareness. Identity shifts and personal transformation often create opportunities to see new possibilities and futures. Expanding perception beyond conventional ways of thinking can open new approaches to leadership and decision-making. Greater connection to self, others, and the natural world can help leaders navigate uncertainty with more clarity and intention.   "The conscious futurist is able to have the intellectual [and] analytical capacity to discern... and also to sort of expand perception about reality.” — Stephanie Trager   About Stephanie Trager: Stephanie Trager is a conscious futurist, systems thinker, and strategic advisor with more than 30 years of multidisciplinary experience working at the intersection of ancient and future intelligence. An attorney with a background in human rights, environmental justice, and corporate litigation, she brings analytical depth to questions of ethics, governance, leadership, and human potential. Her counsel spans Fortune 100 leaders, impact investors, family offices, founders, and next-generation inheritors navigating complexity, innovation, and personal growth. Stephanie is an Earthkeeper, serves on the board of Dream Change, hosts the Catalyst Talks podcast, and is authoring a book on perception and future intelligence.   Connect with Stephanie Trager:   Website: https://www.stephanietrager.com/ Substack: https://stephanietrager.substack.com/ Show: Catalyst Talks: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catalyst-talks/id1493328655 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StephanieTragerCatalystTalks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanietrager/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephanietrager/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

She had a million dollars in her account and she was convinced she'd lose her house by the end of the month. That's not a financial problem. That's grief lying. And if you don't know how to recognize it, you'll either rush your client into decisions she'll regret, or lose her trust entirely.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Brandon L. Hayes, CFP, founder of Compass Financial Group and author of You're Not Alone, shares what 26 years of working almost exclusively with widows has taught him about grief and financial decision-making. Brandon's perspective is personal: he lost his father at 13 and watched a trusted advisor help his family stay financially whole. That experience became a calling. He breaks down why the traditional planning process doesn't fit widows, what grief lies look like in practice, which financial landmines to watch for in the first months after a loss, and how advisors and adult children can support without taking over. This is essential listening for any advisor who works with clients navigating the widow transition.About Brandon L. HayesBrandon L. Hayes, CFP, is the founder of Compass Financial Group in Evansville, Indiana, where he has specialized in working with widows for over 26 years. His calling began at age 13 when his father passed away, and he witnessed firsthand the stabilizing impact a trusted financial advisor had on his family. Brandon is the author of You're Not Alone, a guide he describes as a ministry and a mission: walking widows through the financial decisions that can't wait and the ones that can, in plain language. The financial advisor who helped his mother through that season is now Brandon's own client.What We CoverWhy the financial planning process, with its timelines and checklists, is structurally incompatible with grief, and what advisors can do insteadThe concept of grief lies and why even high-net-worth clients can believe they're about to go brokeThe only things that actually need to happen in the first days after a spouse dies, and why everything else can waitRiver widows vs. root widows: two grief patterns that determine how quickly clients make decisionsHow to uncover hidden benefits including accidental death policies, club memberships, and digital accounts that can add thousands or hundreds of thousands to a settlementHow adult children can cross the line from helpful to harmful, and what healthy family support actually looks likeThe organized crime schemes targeting widows, including a scam that ended with criminals physically walking off a porch with $150,000 in goldResources MentionedYou're Not Alone by Brandon L.

Don Campbell spent much of his early life believing he would become an educator, but his path to meaningful work was anything but straightforward. After struggling to find his footing in college, Don followed a series of unexpected opportunities through adult education, workforce development, healthcare training, youth programs, and behavioral health—often facing layoffs, funding cuts, and major life transitions along the way. Rather than viewing those setbacks as failures, he learned to trust the next opportunity that appeared and continued building skills centered around helping people grow and thrive. In this episode, Don shares how nearly three decades of experience ultimately led him to create Soul Fire Parenting, a coaching practice dedicated to supporting parents through burnout, emotional regulation, and family challenges. He reflects on the lessons he learned from career pivots, personal loss, and starting over more than once, while redefining success on his own terms. Don's story is a reminder that fulfillment rarely comes from a straight line—it comes from embracing growth, trusting the process, and allowing your path to evolve.Don's Resources: Email: discover@soulfireparenting.comPhone: (516) 518-7150Website: Soul Fire ParentingLinkedIn: Don CampbellInstagram: @soulfireparentingConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on FacebookLilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail: joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #SoulFireParenting  #Fatherhood #Dads #FathersAndSons #FathersAndDaughters #FathersDay #Parenting #ParentCoaching #MomLife #ParentingTips #ConsciousParenting #Don Campbell 

What if the reason success still feels incomplete has less to do with achievement and more to do with emotions you've never fully processed? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Randy Lyman explore how emotional healing, consciousness, and self-awareness can transform both leadership and life.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Randy Lyman discuss: The connection between emotional healing, personal growth, and business success How unresolved emotional experiences influence behavior, relationships, and leadership Randy's perspectives on consciousness, spirituality, and the nature of reality The relationship between thoughts, emotions, and the law of attraction Practical approaches for processing emotional pain and developing greater self-awareness   Key Takeaways: Emotional awareness and healing can unlock personal growth and leadership effectiveness that achievement alone may not provide. Unprocessed emotional experiences often continue influencing decisions, relationships, and behavior long after the original event. Randy believes that developing greater emotional awareness helped him become a more effective leader and contributed to significant business growth. Practical tools such as EFT tapping, breathwork, journaling, and intention-setting can help people process emotions and develop greater self-awareness. Personal transformation does not require perfection; growth happens through intention, self-reflection, and a willingness to learn through mistakes.   "Once I became more balanced, my life became better, my businesses grew, and my entire strategy about life changed.” — Randy Lyman   About Randy Lyman: Randy Lyman is a physicist, entrepreneur, and emotional‑intelligence expert who blends science, spirituality, and human transformation. After building multiple eight‑figure companies, he discovered emotional awareness as the key to fulfillment and leadership. In his book, The Third Element, he teaches individuals and teams to release emotional patterns and lead with clarity, connection, and purpose.   Connect with Randy Lyman:   Website: https://randylyman.com/ Book: The Third Element: https://randylyman.com/the-third-element-book-order-page/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamrandylyman/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamrandylyman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamrandylyman/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What if losing your job isn't the end of your career story, but the beginning of a more intentional one? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Steve Jaffe explore how layoffs can become powerful opportunities for resilience, self-discovery, and reinvention.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Steve Jaffe discuss: Why layoffs often mirror the stages of grief and emotional recovery The myth of meritocracy and why high performers can still lose their jobs How job loss challenges identity, purpose, and self-worth Building resilience through adversity, failure, and life transitions How to approach career pivots, transferable skills, and industry disruption   Key Takeaways: Layoffs often trigger a grief process that includes denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, reconstruction, and renewal. Losing a job can force valuable self-reflection about identity, values, priorities, and long-term career direction. Resilience is built through adversity, and setbacks often create the coping skills needed for future success. Letting go of shame and self-blame allows people to move forward more effectively after job loss. Professionals can reduce future career risk by developing transferable skills, adapting to industry shifts, and staying aware of emerging trends.   "Instead of looking backwards, you look forward.” — Steve Jaffe   About Steve Jaffe: Steve Jaffe is the author of The Layoff Journey From Dismissal to Discovery: Navigating the Stages of Grief After Job Loss and a four-time layoff survivor. Drawing on his own experiences and a 25-year career in advertising and marketing, including work on the iconic “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas” campaign, he helps readers navigate job loss through the stages of grief, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity and resilience.

What happens when hiring becomes almost entirely automated? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Mitch McDermott explore why the companies that preserve human connection may outperform those that turn recruiting into a purely transactional process.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Mitch McDermott discuss: How AI is transforming recruiting, hiring, and talent acquisition The risks of removing the human element from the hiring process Why have workplaces become increasingly transactional in recent years Practical strategies for standing out in a competitive job market The leadership and relationship skills that will matter most in the future of work   Key Takeaways: AI can improve recruiting efficiency, but organizations still need human judgment to identify culture fit, potential, and long-term success. The best candidates are not always the ones with the most optimized resumes, which creates risks when hiring relies too heavily on automated screening. Job seekers can improve their chances by bypassing crowded application systems and building direct relationships with decision-makers. Organizations that create meaningful employee connections may gain a competitive advantage as work becomes increasingly automated. High-quality effort, authentic communication, and relationship-building remain powerful differentiators in both hiring and leadership.   "High-quality effort gets high-quality results. Everyone is doing low effort, and most people in their job search are seeing low results.” — Mitch McDermott   About Mitch McDermott: Mitch McDermott is an entrepreneur, talent advisor, and Founder & CEO of Talent Ascension Group, where he is advancing how companies evaluate, hire, and build mid-level leadership teams. He is recognized for challenging how the recruitment industry is structured and for pioneering a modern approach to mid-level leadership hiring by applying executive search standards to Manager, Director, and VP-level roles. Beyond his work, Mitch is an active voice in the talent industry and is known for his contrarian views on hiring, careers, and job search. He brings a blend of entrepreneurial spirit, global perspective, and a deep commitment to meaningful impact across the talent acquisition landscape.   Connect with Mitch McDermott:   Website: https://www.talentascension.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitch-mcdermott-ba409387/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What if much of the backlash around diversity, equity, and inclusion comes from misunderstanding what those ideas were actually meant to be? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Celeste Warren unpack the leadership, hiring, and workplace realities behind one of the most emotionally charged conversations in business today.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Celeste Warren discuss: What diversity, equity, and inclusion actually mean inside organizations Why equity is often misunderstood as lowering standards or giving preferential treatment How hiring practices, bias, and talent pipelines shape workplace representation The role of leadership, culture, and belonging in organizational performance Why do many companies quietly continue this work even as public language around DEI changes   Key Takeaways: Diversity simply reflects differences in people, experiences, identities, and perspectives that exist within organizations and customer groups. Inclusion is about creating a culture where people feel valued, supported, and connected to a shared organizational purpose. Equity is not about lowering standards; it is about recognizing different starting points and creating fair access to opportunities. Organizations often limit talent pools by repeatedly recruiting from the same places instead of broadening where they search for qualified candidates. Strong leadership requires reducing bias in hiring and management processes while still selecting people based on skills, capability, and experience.   "The most qualified person that has those skills, capabilities, and all of those experiences and characteristics can be embodied in a multitude of different identities.” — Celeste Warren   About Celeste Warren: Celeste Warren is a visionary leader who spent 28 years at a global Fortune 100 company, rising to Vice President and Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. After retiring, she founded Celeste Warren Consulting, LLC, where she helps organizations create fair and equitable opportunities while improving workplace culture and inclusion. Celeste also co-founded Destination STEM, Inc., a nonprofit supporting students of color pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees.

What if the reason leaders stay stuck in stress, overwork, or emotional reactivity has less to do with discipline—and more to do with unconscious survival patterns? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Lisa Riegel explore how hidden conditioning shapes leadership behavior, decision-making, and the ability to stay calm and present under pressure.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Lisa Riegel discuss: How the brain and nervous system influence stress and leadership behavior Why do people naturally resist change and uncertainty The role past experiences play in emotional reactions and decision-making How technology and constant stimulation affect focus and regulation Ways leaders can create cultures built on trust and psychological safety   Key Takeaways: The brain prioritizes safety over growth, so uncertainty and change can trigger fear, anxiety, and resistance even when the change is positive. Stress, sedentary lifestyles, and constant digital stimulation can dysregulate the nervous system and reduce emotional resilience and self-awareness. Leaders often underestimate how deeply identity, past experiences, and unconscious associations shape employees' reactions to change. Strong workplace cultures are built through consistent human connection and shared belonging—not slogans, posters, or surface-level initiatives. Excessive dependence on social media, AI, and digital stimulation may weaken emotional regulation, cognitive engagement, and authentic human connection.   "You construct your own identity, and you construct your own reality, and you have a lot of control over how you do that.” — Lisa Riegel   About Lisa Riegel: Over the past twenty years, Dr. Lisa Riegel has worked with organizations to leverage their human systems as a key driver for organizational climate, productivity, and engagement. She facilitates strategic planning and is sought for her ability to operationalize vision and lead transformation that sticks.  She partners with leaders who want to create sustainable engagement—not through policy, but through people. Together, she works with leaders to translate brain science into action, alignment, and meaningful growth. She brings a simple philosophy to complex change: policies shape change, but people make change. When people learn how to think differently, they lead differently, and that's how organizations thrive.   Connect with Lisa Riegel:   Website: https://lisariegel.com/ Email: lisariegel@epinstitute.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisariegel/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
