How do you endure when life falls apart? What if the reason you're struggling to endure isn't because your faith is too weak—but because you've forgotten what holds you together?When suffering comes, most people try harder. The Bible points us to something better. In this message, you'll discover the powerful meaning of God's hesed—His steadfast, covenant love that never lets go. This is the love that carried Jeremiah through the destruction of Jerusalem, strengthened Paul through persecution, and still gives Christians hope today.You'll learn:Why God's steadfast love is the foundation of endurance.What Romans 8 really means when it says nothing can separate us from Christ's love.How abiding in Jesus gives strength when your own strength runs out.Why God designed Christians to endure together—not alone.The warning Jesus gave to believers who had endurance but lost their first love.If you've been discouraged, exhausted, or wondering how to keep going, this biblical message will remind you where lasting endurance is found.ScriptureLamentations 3:22–23 | Romans 8:35–39 | John 15:1–12 | 1 Thessalonians 3:12 | Revelation 2:1–5If this message encouraged you, please Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who needs hope today.
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'.

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.

He thought he was serving God... until Jesus stopped him. What if your greatest passion was actually keeping you from the truth? In Acts 9, we uncover the dramatic moment when Saul's religious zeal collided with the risen Christ—and everything changed.Saul believed he was protecting God's honor, but his devotion had become a destructive feedback loop that blinded him to the very Messiah he claimed to serve. In this message, we'll examine how Jesus interrupted Saul's violent path, exposed the danger of misplaced religious zeal, and transformed Christianity's greatest enemy into one of its greatest missionaries.Discover why people resist truth, how pride can disguise itself as faithfulness, the courage of Ananias, the encouragement of Barnabas, and why God often uses seasons of crisis to prepare us for His greatest purposes.If you've ever wondered whether God can redeem a painful past, break destructive patterns, or completely transform a life that seems beyond hope, Saul's story proves that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace.Whether you're studying Acts chapter 9, learning about the Apostle Paul, or seeking a deeper understanding of genuine repentance and spiritual transformation, this Bible study will encourage and challenge your walk with Christ.
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.

Most people think waving a flag is how you honor America. But what if the Bible says real national honor starts somewhere completely different?In this radio sermon, we examine what Scripture says about patriotism, righteousness, and the future of America. Why was America blessed in the past? Has our nation turned away from God? And what promise does God give to a people who humble themselves, repent, and seek His face?You'll discover:What the Bible says about patriotismThe difference between loving your country and idolizing itWhy America was honored and blessedThe spiritual and moral condition of our nation todayPractical ways Christians can impact their countryThe powerful promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14This message is not primarily about politics—it is about repentance, revival, and returning to God. If you're concerned about America's future, this sermon will challenge you to look beyond Washington and begin where real change starts: with your own heart.
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
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.

What if the most heated debate of our time was already settled at the beginning of the Bible?Before culture, before confusion, before modern arguments about identity, Genesis 1 makes a clear and powerful statement about how humanity was created.In this study, we open Scripture to see what God actually says about male and female, and why His design was called “very good” from the beginning. Far from being random or cultural, gender distinction is shown as intentional, meaningful, and deeply connected to the image of God itself.Genesis 1:26-28 reveals a foundation that shapes everything that follows—family, identity, purpose, and the order of creation. When this foundation is rejected, confusion enters. When it is embraced, life gains clarity, structure, and meaning.This message explores what it means that God created male and female, why that distinction reflects His image, and how it connects to His command to fill, rule, and steward the earth.Topics covered:• Why Genesis 1 settles the gender question• Male and female created in the image of God• The intentional design of God in creation• Gender distinction as a reflection of God's order• The purpose of family, fruitfulness, and dominion• What happens when God's design is rejected• Restoring biblical understanding of identity and creationThis is not just a cultural discussion. It is a return to the beginning—where God's design was clear, purposeful, and declared very good.
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.

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. He holds a degree in journalism and communication from San Diego State University.

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.

What if the most powerful evidence in a personal injury case isn't a medical report or an expert opinion, but the story told by the people who watched someone's life change forever? Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with Bobby Craig of Impact Video to pull back the curtain on settlement documentaries and explain why they've become one of the most effective tools in serious injury and wrongful death cases.In this episode of After the Crash, David and Bobby break down exactly what goes into creating a settlement documentary, from the initial planning meetings with the legal team all the way through interviews, editing, and final delivery. Bobby Craig, co-owner of Impact Video, has produced hundreds of these documentaries for law firms across the country. He got his start working alongside David at Craig, Kelley & Faultless, where he learned firsthand how telling a client's story with the right approach can fundamentally shift how a case is evaluated by insurance adjusters, defense attorneys, and claims decision-makers.✔️ What a settlement documentary is and how it differs from a standard legal video✔️ Why before-and-after witnesses often matter more than medical records alone✔️ How a passionate expert on camera can transform a case's perceived value✔️ The role of music, lighting, editing, and B-roll in communicating real emotion without exaggeration✔️ Why defense lawyers have directly told David that settlement videos change how they evaluate casesDavid 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, accredited by the American Bar Association. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases and catastrophic injury claims, David brings a depth of experience that shapes every part of how his firm prepares a case, including the decision of when and how to invest in a settlement documentary. That experience is exactly why a defense attorney once told David, off the record, to keep making these videos because they genuinely shift how claims professionals assess a case.

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. She is a published author, global speaker, and thought leader whose work on diversity, equity, and inclusion has appeared in national and international publications. She recently published her second book, The Truth About Equity.

Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig exposes one of the most dangerous schemes in the trucking industry: chameleon carriers. These are trucking companies that dodge government shutdowns by changing their name, getting a new DOT number, and putting the same dangerous trucks back on the road. They're 3 to 4 times more likely to cause a fatal wreck.In this episode of Ask David, David sits down with Litigation Supervisor Ashley Napier to break down how chameleon carriers operate and why they're so hard to catch. They walk through real cases, including the McGill case near North Vernon, Indiana, where an insurance company helped a failing trucking company reorganize under a new name. The barn still had the old company name painted on it. Same trucks, same faulty brakes. Those brakes failed, killing two people.✔️ What chameleon carriers are and how they rebrand to avoid shutdowns✔️ Why they're 3 to 4 times more likely to cause fatal wrecks✔️ The McGill case: how an insurer helped a dangerous carrier reorganize✔️ Why federal insurance minimums haven't been raised since the 1980s✔️ How raising minimums to $5 million would force better screening✔️ What to look for when investigating a chameleon carrier wreckDavid Craig is one of only four attorneys in Indiana who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, accredited by the American Bar Association. He has 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases.
(This is a Replay)Many attorneys often present their cases in a manner that is too complex for Bubba to understand.

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.

What happens when a multimillion-dollar photography business goes to near-zero almost overnight during the pandemic? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki unpack the hard reset that forced a shift from chasing revenue to building a truly profitable, scalable business. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki discuss: Scott's journey from photographer to entrepreneur and business advisor What it's like to lose a successful business overnight during the pandemic The difference between chasing revenue and building a profitable company Why do many entrepreneurs ignore financial leaks in their business How mindset shifts and coaching help you rebuild and refocus Key Takeaways: Revenue growth alone doesn't equal success; profitability is what sustains a business. The pandemic exposed weaknesses in many business models, forcing leaders to rethink scalability and resilience. Entrepreneurs often overlook hidden financial leaks that quietly erode profitability. A shift in mindset, from operator to strategic business owner, is critical for long-term growth. Coaching and outside perspective can accelerate clarity and help leaders pivot more effectively. "We're all looking for revenue, revenue generating, getting leads and getting customers and funnels and getting—but what about the cash in your business that's probably going out the door that you don't even know?” — Scott Proposki About Scott Proposki: Scott Proposki is a photographer, entrepreneur, and author with 27 years behind the camera, capturing stories for National Geographic, the White House, Microsoft, HBO, and top global brands. In 2019, he released Camera Focus to help creatives with ADHD harness their strengths. He never expected the book to save him when the pandemic wiped out his business in a week. After three years of silence, depression, and rebuilding, its principles helped him reinvent himself and create the Camera Focus Method™, a system empowering photographers to build confident, resilient businesses. Today, Scott's mission is bigger than photography.

In this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis talks through his real-world experience setting up AI receptionists for pest control companies inside HighLevel.AI receptionists are not one-size-fits-all.

What if brilliant leaders stumble not from lack of skill but from hidden, childhood‑wired patterns and chronic stress? In this episode, Dean Newlund interviews Kendra Dahlstrom to reveal how cultivating self‑awareness and emotional regulation can restore presence, decision quality, and leadership freedom. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kendra Dahlstrom discuss: Why high-achieving leaders sometimes react in ways they later regret The concept of the “window of tolerance” and how stress impacts behavior How digital habits and modern work environments increase reactivity The influence of childhood experiences on leadership patterns and coping mechanisms Practical approaches to building self-awareness and improving emotional regulation Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence, especially self-awareness and self-regulation, is essential for sound decision-making and leadership under pressure. Chronic stress and constant digital stimulation push leaders outside their window of tolerance, increasing reactivity. Early life experiences often shape coping patterns like workaholism or overcontrol that show up in leadership behavior. Evaluating the real costs of behaviors helps leaders distinguish productive habits from harmful ones. Improving emotional regulation strengthens presence, clarity, and overall leadership effectiveness. "Errors are expensive, and the higher you are up in the hierarchy, the more expensive an error will be.” — Kendra Dahlstrom About Kendra Dahlstrom: Kendra is an executive coach and senior advisor to high-achieving leaders operating in complex, high-stakes environments. She specializes in emotional intelligence, intuition-informed decision making, executive presence, and leadership under pressure. Her work helps CEOs, founders, and senior executives resolve internal misalignment, regulate nervous system responses, and lead with clarity, authority, and integrity. Drawing on decades of experience advising Fortune 50 companies and global leaders, Kendra integrates psychological insight, strategic rigor, and embodied leadership to support sustainable performance and authentic influence.

What happens when a prosecutor realizes the criminal justice system is failing the very people it claims to serve? Mark Astor discovered this harsh reality after seeing the same faces cycle through courtrooms over and over-all struggling with untreated mental health and addiction issues. His journey from "lock them all up" prosecutor to founding the only law firm in America dedicated exclusively to mental health and addiction law reveals a broken system and the innovative legal tools that can actually save lives. Mark's unique approach combines three powerful legal mechanisms-the Baker Act, Marchman Act, and guardianships-often simultaneously, to help families navigate crisis situations when traditional treatment approaches have failed.Through candid stories of his own rock bottom moments, including studying for the California bar exam three times while broke, and the family crisis that opened his eyes to Florida's "draconian" mental health system, Mark shares how personal growth must precede financial growth. His firm now helps hundreds of families annually using legal strategies most attorneys never touch, supported by their own investigation team and clinical experts. You'll discover why he believes addiction and mental health issues are diseases, not choices, and how the right legal intervention can mean the difference between life and death for families in crisis.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

In Season 5, Episode 17 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, we discuss why every growing pest control company needs a properly managed CRM, sales pipeline, and marketing automation system. The episode focuses on how platforms like HighLevel can help pest control companies track leads, automate follow-up, measure marketing performance, and create better accountability across the team.We also talk about one of the biggest challenges with CRMs: getting employees to use the pipeline correctly every day. Bad data leads to bad reports, and bad reports lead to poor marketing decisions. The old saying applies perfectly here: garbage in equals garbage out.If your pest control company is investing in Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, call tracking, AI receptionists, SMS/email follow-up, or outbound sales, then accurate CRM usage is essential. You cannot manage what you do not measure, and you cannot measure what your team does not properly track.This episode is a reminder that your CRM should not just be another software tool. It should become the central system for managing leads, measuring growth, improving follow-up, and making smarter decisions about your marketing dollars.Rhino Pest Control MarketingEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Website: https://rhinopros.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingContact & Find Us

Michael Flomenhaft, Esq. is the principal of the Flomenhaft Law Firm PLLC in New York, New York. His practice focuses on trying cases for victims of traumatic brain injury and severe chronic pain. Renowned for his vast knowledge of neuroscience—including neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and the neuroanatomy of chronic pain—Mr. Flomenhaft serves on the board of advisors for the Center for Neuroscience and Law at Fordham Law School and was a director of neurolaw for the Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences at Columbia University. He is a graduate of Boston University School of Law and the Trial Lawyers College.In this second conversation with attorney Michael Flomenhaft, host Bethany Lewis dives deeper into the most challenging aspects of concussion recovery and litigation. They begin by tackling the difficult subject of malingering—why it is often alleged, how objective imaging and biographical evidence can refute it, and why standard MRIs are insufficient for visualizing white matter damage. Michael explains why traditional concussion return-to-play protocols are "gray matter protocols" applied to a white matter injury, leaving athletes at unrecognized risk. The discussion then shifts to chronic pain, its atrophic (brain-shrinking) effects, the role of specialists like osteopaths and craniosacral therapists for headache relief, and the powerful potential of neurofeedback in brain rehabilitation. This episode provides essential education for anyone navigating the legal, medical, and personal realities of persistent post-concussion symptoms.Resources Mentioned by Michael Flomenhaft:Website: www.brainjusticeny.comEmail: mflomenhaft@brainjusticeny.comPhone: 917-359-8023Previous Episode (Part 1): Episode 134 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU96lajw5oQ&t=240sImaging & Techniques referenced:Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (microbleeds)Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) – to visualize white matter injuryVolumetric MRI (to show brain atrophy over time)PET scansQuantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG)Neurofeedback (recommended as a top intervention for leveraging Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

What if your stress isn't just affecting your mood—but quietly shortening your life and weakening your decisions? In this episode, Santosh Kumar reveals how managing your heart rate and releasing stress can unlock clearer thinking, better leadership, and a longer life. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Santosh Kumar discuss: The concept of a lifetime “heart rate budget” and how it affects longevity The difference between physical stress and emotional stress How calmness directly impacts decision-making and leadership effectiveness The role of wearable technology in tracking stress and improving self-awareness Practical ways to release stress and prevent long-term health and performance decline Key Takeaways: Leaders can improve both longevity and performance by managing how they “spend” their heart rate budget and investing in habits like exercise. Unreleased emotional stress is more harmful than physical exertion because the body generates energy that isn't used. Calmness improves decision-making, while stress narrows thinking and drives short-term, reactive choices. Simple actions like movement or breathing can release stress in real time and restore clarity. Wearable tools can build awareness of stress patterns today, while team-level stress visibility is feasible but not yet released. "You don't get to control what is your budget, but you get to control how you spend that budget.” — Santosh Kumar About Santosh Kumar: Santosh Kumar is the Lillian & Morrie Moss Chair of Excellence Professor in Computer Science at the University of Memphis and CEO & Cofounder of CuesHub. He is also Director of NIH-funded national research centers in Wearable AI called the mDOT Center and the MD2K Center of Excellence. He has been recognized as America's Ten Most Brilliant Scientists by Popular Science magazine, has been invited to give a talk on the Future of Biosensors at the White House, and has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from The Ohio State University.

Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig breaks down Indiana's radical new trucking law where 1,800 commercial drivers just lost their licenses overnight.In this episode of Ask David, David discusses the sweeping changes under Indiana House Enrolled Act 1200, which took effect April 1st. The law emerged after four horrific crashes involving non-domiciled drivers. David explains how the trucking industry's claim of a "driver shortage" led to a massive increase from 316,000 to 720,000 non-domiciled drivers between 2000 and 2021.✔️ What non-domiciled drivers are ✔️ How visa requirements changed for H-2A, H-1B, and E-2 classifications✔️ English proficiency crackdowns✔️ Indiana's ban on foreign language CDL testing✔️ Federal CDL school closures and quality control issues✔️ Criminal penalties: Level 6 felony charges for violationsDavid 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. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases, he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable.The four crashes that triggered this legislation represent real families who lost loved ones due to unqualified drivers on Indiana roads. The February Jay County crash alone claimed four lives when a non-domiciled driver with a bad record, working for a company with significant safety violations, caused a fatal wreck.

Do we really have a soul, and does believing in it change anything? Kris Land joins Dean Newlund to unpack four powerful questions that reveal why your deepest growth, purpose, and leadership may depend on how you answer. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kris Land discuss: The emptiness that can follow early success without a sense of purpose The concept of soul consciousness and the human experience as a “game of life” How leaders can integrate spirituality and business in meaningful ways The idea of co-creation, karma, and personal responsibility in life outcomes Why forgetting and rediscovering purpose is part of growth and leadership Key Takeaways: Success without purpose can lead to emptiness, making deeper self-exploration essential. View life and leadership as a co-creative process shaped by choices, awareness, and responsibility. Embrace both the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the human experience to grow as a leader. Recognize that losing and rediscovering purpose is part of the journey toward clarity and fulfillment.

I've had hundreds of conversations with orthodontists about DSOs, OSOs, and private equity—and here's the truth: most of you are making decisions based on incomplete, outdated, or just plain wrong information. In this episode, I sit down with Connor Jorgensen, Director at Tusk Practice Sales, to cut through the noise and talk about what's actually happening in today's market.If you've ever wondered what your practice is worth, how equity really works, or whether you're leaving money (or opportunity) on the table… This episode will give you clarity—and probably challenge a few assumptions along the way.Quotes“When someone tells you you're going to get a 5–7x return on your equity… that's unrealistic. If you're making decisions based on that, you need to run for the hills.” — Connor Jorgensen“If you're going to count DSO equity as zero, then you have to count your private practice as zero too. You're just trading one form of equity for another.” — Connor JorgensenKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Why “just say no to DSOs” is bad advice (00:16)Connor's background and insider perspective (04:08)OSO vs DSO vs multi-specialty: what actually matters (06:24)How brokers work—and who they really represent (09:09)Equity vs cash: what orthodontists misunderstand (11:19)Why 5–7x equity claims are misleading (13:12)The biggest mistake advisors make about equity value (16:18)Why selling often beats holding long-term (18:07)How OSOs improve profitability overnight (24:55)Cultural myths: what really happens after you sell (28:02)Why education—not opinion—should drive your decision (29:57)Additional ResourcesConnor and the team at Tusk Practice Sales will walk you through a complimentary orthodontic valuation analysis—no pressure, no obligation, just real numbers and real insight so you can make the right decision for your future.
