Aujourd'hui, dans cette nouvelle leçon du mercredi, je reçois Emilie Lagrange, fondatrice de Sikour.immo.Emilie a passé quinze ans dans l'immobilier. Elle connaît parfaitement les règles du jeu.Et pourtant, elle a décidé de les remettre en question.Avec Sikour, elle propose un modèle radicalement différent.Vendre sans agence. Mais jamais seul.Un accompagnement professionnel, au forfait, indépendant du prix du bien.Le projet est solide. L'expertise est là.Mais un obstacle majeur se dresse très vite : comment faire comprendre un modèle qui n'existe pas encore dans l'esprit du public ?Emilie créer du contenu. Elle explique. Elle vulgarise.Mais sur les réseaux sociaux, cela ne prend pas.Pas de traction réelle. Peu de leads. Beaucoup d'énergie investie.Dans cette leçon, je l'aide à faire un pas de côté.À comprendre pourquoi Instagram ne récompense plus la pédagogie brute.À distinguer visibilité, conversion et réassurance.Et surtout, à choisir une stratégie réaliste, alignée avec son modèle, son temps et ses ambitions.Une leçon précieuse pour tous ceux qui lancent un projet nouveau, et qui cherchent moins à faire du bruit qu'à bâtir quelque chose qui dure.Bonne écoute ✨CHAPITRAGE 00:00 – Introduction et contexte du projet03:00 – Présentation d'Emilie LAGRANGE et du modèle Sikour.immo07:00 – Pourquoi les réseaux sociaux ont profondément changé11:00 – Le mythe de la pédagogie qui suffit à émerger17:00 – Concept, codes des plateformes et limites d'Instagram25:00 – Se focaliser, prioriser et construire une stratégie à 6 mois#LeçonDuMercredi #Entrepreneuriat #CréerSonEntreprise #LancementDeProjet #StratégieBusiness #RéseauxSociaux #Immobilier #NouveauModèle #Priorités #Focus #VisionLongTerme #PaulineLaigneau #PodcastBusinessNotes et références de l'épisode Pour retrouver Emilie et Sikour.immo : Sur son site internetSur InstagramSur LinkedInPour retrouver le replay du Grand Live : Les nouveaux codes des réseaux sociaux en 2026Sur Demian.educationVous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when your greatest strengths—your empathy, your willingness to self-reflect, your sensitivity—become the very tools someone uses to convince you everything is your fault? In this crossover episode with therapist Angela De Hoyos, ALC, Tony explores why validation feels like survival when you were raised in an emotionally unpredictable home. You learned that love could vanish without warning—so you became hypervigilant, endlessly working to secure a connection that was never yours to earn. Now you may find yourself starving for validation from the one person who can't hold it steadily.

Send a textWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined once again by the amazing Alice, to kick off a new series of episodes where we're exploring what concept training actually is and how it applies to real life with your dog. We'll be taking concepts you may have heard us talk about before, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your own training sessions and day-to-day interactions with your dog. And we're starting with optimism.What if your dog's “reactivity” is really a pessimistic prediction about the world - one you could rewrite it with play? We share how teaching optimism through simple, structured games turned Bonnie, a large mastiff mix with explosive dog-to-dog reactions, into a calm, confident dog who can enjoy off‑lead time with friends and settle peacefully at home.Listen in as Lauren and Alice break down optimism as a practical training concept: when a dog learns to expect good outcomes from ambiguous situations, barking, lunging and hiding give way to curiosity and choice. You'll hear how short, rewarding games reshape neural pathways, why ditching the bowl fuels learning, and how to build habits of calm disengagement around big triggers like cyclists, fireworks and vet handling. Alice shares one of her favourite and most accessible games for boosting optimism with any dog - Noise Box - using everyday items to make novelty safe and fun.This is a story of real change grounded in games-based training, management and community support. We talk measurable wins - faster recovery, softer body language, easier check-ins - and the difference optimism makes beyond reactivity: smoother grooming, kinder vet visits and a shared sense of confidence at both ends of the lead. If you're tired of bracing for the next meltdown, this approach gives you a roadmap that feels kind, achievable and effective.Ready to try it yourself?

On the practice of sitting, walking, becoming, and living as yourself, precisely where you are. (0:00) – Introduction and Guest Welcome (2:21) – Gru's Journey to Zen Practice (5:53) – Elena's Personal Reflections (12:18) – The Concept of "Becoming Yourself" (19:34) – The Role of Precepts and Ethical Practice (32:29) – The Importance of Confidence and Effort (37:46) – Conclusion and Gratitude This long-awaited new book from Shunryu Suzuki: Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life, edited by Jiryu Rutschman-Byler and Sojun Mel Weitsman, is one of my favorite books of 2025. Jiryu Rutschman-Byler is a Soto Zen Buddhist priest and teacher in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, with dharma transmission from Sojun Mel Weitsman. Jiryu has trained residentially in Zen temples since 1996, and currently serves as a co-Abbot of San Francisco Zen Center through his role as Abiding Abbot of Green Gulch Farm Zen Center. Shunryu Suzuki was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the Twentieth Century and a founding father of Zen in America. Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, first published in the U.S. in 1970, is considered one of the most important Buddhist books in modern history, and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. A Japanese priest of the Sōtō lineage, Suzuki taught Buddhism in the United States from 1959 until his death in 1971. He was the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. While contemporary Buddhist figures such as His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Thích Nhất Hạnh, and Pema Chödrön are more familiar to American audiences, Shunryu Suzuki was among the first Buddhist teachers with cultural influence in the West and was the first to establish a lasting practice community in the U.S. Importantly, the warmth, humor, and simplicity of Suzuki's teachings made Buddhism accessible. For decades, the San Francisco Zen Center has preserved an archive of Suzuki's original audio teachings, most of which have never been edited or published. Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life offers newly available teachings by Suzuki, exploring a practice he describes as fundamentally about "becoming yourself." Rather than offering a philosophy or even a set of techniques, Suzuki points to a way of being, and calls readers to the simple practice of zazen, or "just to sit," as the expression of a fulfilling life and grounded ethical orientation. Becoming Yourself is a result of the painstaking efforts of the Zen community over many years. Archiving, transcribing and interpreting Suzuki's intention clearly and accurately proved to be very challenging work. The final editor and compiler of the book is Jiryu Rutschman-Byler, a senior teacher and co-Abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center. As we learn in these pages, "becoming yourself" is not meant to be understood as an idea but rather tried out as a way of being. It is a practice of deeply connecting with how it feels to be alive in your surroundings, whether on a meditation cushion or not, and stepping forward from that connection. It is opening to your life, wherever you are, and finding right there a deep well of innate wisdom, compassion, and care.

They discuss how leaders—and sales professionals—can become “leashed” when responsibilities outpace clarity, capacity, or alignment, and how addressing root leadership issues can unlock greater effectiveness and impact.Drawing from their book Unleashed Leadership, Garland and Dorothy outline seven key areas that often hold leaders back: character, competence, capacity, clarity, community, culture, and consistency. The conversation highlights why clarity is one of the biggest challenges leaders face and emphasizes that salespeople are leaders too—guiding clients toward meaningful outcomes without traditional authority. Packed with real-life examples and practical leadership insights, this episode delivers actionable strategies for anyone looking to lead and sell with heart. KEY TAKEAWAYSLeaders become “leashed” when expectations exceed clarity, capacity, or alignment.Seven core leadership challenges: Character, Competence, Capacity, Clarity, Community, Culture, and Consistency.Clarity is often the most common leadership gap—people need to know where they're going and why.Sales professionals are leaders because they guide clients toward a vision and better outcomes.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESLeaders become “leashed” when expectations exceed clarity, capacity, or alignment.Seven core leadership challenges: Character, Competence, Capacity, Clarity, Community, Culture, and Consistency.Clarity is often the most common leadership gap—people need to know where they're going and why.Sales professionals are leaders because they guide clients toward a vision and better outcomes.

In recent years, the importance of sleep has garnered significant attention from health professionals and researchers alike. As our understanding of sleep's critical role in overall health deepens, innovative solutions have emerged to address common sleep-related issues. One such innovation is the adaptive sleep system cama from Water Robotics, a technological advancement designed to improve posture during sleep, thereby enhancing overall well-being.The Problem of Poor Sleep PostureMany individuals are unaware of the detrimental effects that poor sleep posture can have on their health. People often find themselves in awkward positions while sleeping, leading to discomfort and potential long-term health issues. Factors such as working from bed, lounging on soft surfaces, or simply getting too comfortable can contribute to poor posture. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the fact that, as we engage with more stimulating activities, be it scrolling through social media or watching television, our bodies tend to relax into less supportive positions.The consequences of these habits can be severe, including chronic pain, spinal misalignment, and disrupted sleep cycles. Recognizing this issue, innovators are now developing solutions that not only enhance comfort but also promote healthy sleep posture.The Concept of Adaptive Sleep SystemsThe adaptive sleep system represents a paradigm shift in how we think about sleep environments. As articulated by Teja Vinukollu, the creator of a groundbreaking product called cama from Water Robotics, these systems are designed to respond dynamically to the user's body shape, size, and even mood. The name "Water" aptly reflects this concept, as just like water conforms to the shape of its container, the adaptive sleep system molds itself to the individual.At the core of this technology lies a network of sensors, over 10,000 in the case of cama, embedded beneath the mattress. These sensors continuously monitor the user's sleep patterns and adjust the bed's configuration in real-time. The bed is divided into 50 distinct zones, each capable of independent movement, allowing for a customized sleeping experience that optimally supports the body. This means that regardless of how much one shifts during the night, the bed adapts to maintain proper alignment and comfort.Benefits of Adaptive Sleep SystemsThe primary advantage of cama is its ability to promote healthy posture while enhancing comfort. Traditional mattresses often force users to conform to their structure, which can lead to discomfort and poor spinal alignment. In contrast, an adaptive system ensures that the user maintains an optimal position throughout the night, reducing the likelihood of waking up with aches and pains.Moreover, the integration of technology into the sleep environment can lead to improved sleep quality. By continually adjusting to the user's needs, these systems can minimize disturbances caused by uncomfortable positions or excessive movement. The result is a more restful sleep experience, which is essential for physical and mental health.The Future of Sleep TechnologyAs the demand for better sleep solutions continues to rise, adaptive sleep systems are poised to become a staple in households around the world. The introduction of products like cama signals a growing awareness of the importance of sleep posture and its impact on health. While the initial price point of around $12,000 for a complete system may seem steep, the long-term benefits-both in terms of health and quality of life-can justify the investment.As we look to the future, it is clear that technology will play an increasingly vital role in our sleep environments. The challenge lies not only in creating products that are effective but also in making them accessible to a broader audience. By prioritizing health and comfort, adaptive sleep systems have the potential to transform the way we experience sleep, ultimately leading to healthier lives.ConclusionIn conclusion, the emergence of cama, an adaptive sleep system, marks a significant advancement in sleep technology. By addressing the critical issue of posture during sleep, these systems offer a solution that balances comfort with health. As we continue to explore the intersection of technology and well-being, adaptive sleep systems stand out as a promising development that could redefine our understanding of restful sleep. As more people become aware of the importance of sleep posture, the demand for such innovative solutions is likely to grow, paving the way for a healthier future.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Child-led support is often misunderstood. Some imagine it as a chaotic free-for-all where the child runs the show. Some worry it means abandoning all structure. In reality, a child-led approach is about moving from being a director to being a partner. In this episode, Emily Kircher-Morris sits down with speech-language pathologist Nicole Casey to dismantle the compliance-based models of therapy that have dominated the field for decades. Nicole explains how shifting the focus from "fixing" speech to fostering authentic connection creates deeper buy-in and faster generalization of skills. They discuss Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), why we need to stop writing "80% accuracy" goals, and how using rubrics can revolutionize the way parents and educators track meaningful progress. TAKEAWAYS Child-led is an approach that centers the child's interests and experiences, removing arbitrary adult-directed rules (like "sit still") to prioritize safety, connection, and agency. Speech is just one form of communication, but gestures, hand-leading, and AAC play major roles in communication. Some children learn language in chunks or scripts tied to emotional context. Goals based on 80% accuracy are arbitrary and often measure compliance rather than authentic communication. Using rubrics allows teams to track the quality and autonomy of a skill (e.g., self-advocacy) across different contexts, offering a visual and qualitative way to see growth. Before enforcing a direction, ask, "Does this rule actually serve the child, or is it just for my convenience?" The Educator Hub opens the week of February 16!

Nicole Casey, MS, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist, educator, and the founder of The Child-Led SLP and Child-Led Therapy Center. She is widely recognized for her work in shifting speech therapy away from compliance-based approaches and toward connection-first, neuroaffirming support for autistic children. Nicole's approach empowers adults to follow the child's lead, honor all forms of communication, and focus on building authentic relationships as the foundation for meaningful progress. Through her online courses, membership community, and Let Them Lead podcast, she is helping parents and professionals reimagine what effective, compassionate therapy can truly look like.

What if language was not a tool for naming things, but a vibration of relationship? What if intelligence wasn't a human asset, but an ecological rhythm? What if consciousness is not what happens in our heads—but what happens between us, through us, with the land, with water, with wind? Come gather for a conversation with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota elder, host of First Voices Radio, master musician, and steward of relational ways of knowing. Rooted in the vibrational teachings of the old Lakota language, a language shaped by Earth and used to speak with, not about, Tiokasin invites us to unlearn the dominance of human-centered thought and listen again to Earth as consciousness.

Le bistrot, institution du mode de vie parisien, est-il en train de tirer sa révérence à bas bruit ? Un récent dossier paru le 23 janvier dans Le Parisien dresse un constat simple : le nombre de bistrots dans la capitale est en recul depuis le XXe siècle. Ces lieux ouverts à toute heure pour prendre son café, se restaurer ou boire des verres sont de plus en plus concurrencés par les cafés et les restaurants à concept. Les jeunes, notamment, tendent à déserter les bistrots, déplorant leur faible rapport qualité-prix. De quoi forcer les gérants à l'introspection. Marion Kremp, journaliste à l'édition de Paris qui a rédigé ce dossier, décrypte ce phénomène dans Code source.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

Komórki nowotworowe to nie byty obce, ale nasze własne, tyle że zbuntowane.  Zamiast współpracować, odmawiają „honorowej” samodestrukcji (apoptozy), ignorują sygnały z otoczenia i dzielą się wtedy, kiedy nie powinny. – Komórka rakowa jest w sobie zakochana do tego stopnia, że interesuje ją tylko to, żeby siebie powielać – porównuje prof. Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula z Centrum Zaawansowanych Technologii i Wydziału Biologii UAM w Poznaniu, z którą rozmawiam w najnowszym odcinku. Zdrowe komórki mają fizjologiczny limit podziałów. Po jego przekroczeniu przestają to robić lub umierają. – Natomiast komórki nowotworowe potrafią wyzerować ten licznik i stać się nieśmiertelne. Robią to często przez aktywację enzymu, który nazywa się telomeraza – wyjaśnia uczona. Takie komórki potrafią tworzyć własną sieć naczyń krwionośnych, omijają mechanizmy naprawy DNA i obronę immunologiczną.Słowem: są niezwykle trudnym przeciwnikiem. Mało kto jednak wie, że nowotwory powstają w nas bardzo często – organizm codziennie produkuje tysiące komórek z potencjalnie groźnymi mutacjami – ale zazwyczaj sobie z nimi radzi. Wchodzą do akcji „policjanci” układu odpornościowego, mechanizmy naprawy DNA. W rozmowie porządkujemy współczesne metody leczenia: od wciąż niezwykle skutecznej chirurgii, przez klasyczną chemioterapię i radioterapię, po nowsze terapie celowane oraz immunoterapię – w tym „żywy lek” CAR-T. Niedawno odkryto, że piętą Achillesową komórek rakowych jest końcowy etap przepisywania informacji genetycznej z genu (cząsteczki DNA) na RNA. Większość ludzkich genów ma kilka alternatywnych końców, a wybór tego właściwego może wpływać na końcowy produkt, czyli białko. Aby wykorzystać tę wiedzę w potencjalnej terapii przeciwnowotworowej, prof. Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula wraz z dr Martyną Plens-Gałąską opracowały innowacyjną metodę do poszukiwań nowych leków, które kierują wyborem, gdzie kończy się gen. Uczone będą kontynuowały nowatorskie badania, m.in. dzięki kolejnemu grantowi ERC uzyskanemu przez prof. Kamieniarz-Gdulę, tym razem Proof of Concept, pozyskanemu na projekt “Biologia molekularna w terapii przeciwnowotworowej – poszukiwania nowych leków, które kierują wyborem, gdzie kończy się gen”. W zespole pracują wspólnie z dr Agatą Stępień.W odcinku usłyszycie też dlaczego sen, ruch, unikanie kancerogenów oraz ogólnie zdrowy styl życia naprawdę mają znaczenie – bo wspierają właśnie te ciche, codzienne interwencje naszego organizmu. Poznacie barwne metafory mechanizmów stojących za genetyką, opowieść o tym, jak to jest wrócić z Oxfrodu nad Wisłę, a także pochwałę badań podstawowych.

In this episode, I'm joined by Mandy Mooney — author, corporate communicator, and performer — for a wide-ranging conversation about mentorship, career growth, and how to show up authentically in both work and life.   We talk about her path from performing arts to corporate communications, and how those early experiences shaped the way she approaches relationships, leadership, and personal authenticity. That foundation carries through to her current role as VP of Internal Communications, where she focuses on building connections and fostering resilience across teams.   We explore the three pillars of career success Mandy highlights in her book Corporating: Three Ways to Win at Work — relationships, reputation, and resilience — and how they guide her approach to scaling mentorship and helping others grow. Mandy shares practical strategies for balancing professional responsibilities with personal passions, and why embracing technology thoughtfully can enhance, not replace, human connection.   The conversation also touches on parenting, building independence in children, and the lessons she's learned about optimism, preparation, and persistence — both in the workplace and at home.   If you're interested in scaling mentorship, developing your career with intention, or navigating work with authenticity, this episode is for you. And if you want to hear more on these topics, catch Mandy speaking at Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th. 00:00 Start 02:26 Teaching Self-Belief and Independence Robin notes Mandy has young kids and a diverse career (performing arts → VP of a name-brand company → writing books). Robin asks: "What are the skills that you want your children to develop, to stay resilient in the world and the world of work that they're gonna grow up in?" Emphasis on meta-skills. Mandy's response: Core skills She loves the question, didn't expect it, finds it a "thrilling ride." Observes Robin tends to "put things out there before they exist" (e.g., talking about having children before actually having them). Skill 1: Envisioning possibilities "Envision the end, believe that it will happen and it is much more likely to happen." Teaching children to see limitless possibilities if they believe in them. Skill 2: Independence Examples: brushing their own hair, putting on clothes, asking strangers questions. One daughter in Girl Scouts: learning sales skills by approaching strangers to sell cookies. Independence builds confidence and problem-solving abilities for small and big life challenges. Skill 3: Self-belief / Self-worth Tied to independence. Helps children navigate life and career successfully. Robin asks about teaching self-belief Context: Mandy's kids are 6 and 9 years old (two girls). Mandy's approach to teaching self-belief Combination of: Words Mandy uses when speaking to them. Words encouraged for the children to use about themselves. Example of shifting praise from appearance to effort/creativity: Instead of "You look so pretty today" → "Wow, I love the creativity that you put into your outfit." Reason: "The voice that I use, the words that I choose, they're gonna receive that and internalize it." Corrective, supportive language when children doubt themselves: Example: Child says, "I'm so stupid, I can't figure out this math problem." Mandy responds: "Oh wow. That's something that we can figure out together. And the good news is I know that you are so smart and that you can figure this out, so let's work together to figure it out." Asking reflective questions to understand their inner thoughts: Example: "What's it like to be you? What's it like to be inside your head?" Child's response: "Well, you worry a lot," which Mandy found telling and insightful. Emphasizes coming from a place of curiosity to check in on a child's self-worth and self-identity journey. 04:30 Professional Journey and Role of VP of Internal Comms Robin sets up the question about professional development Notes Mandy has mentored lots of people. Wants to understand: Mandy's role as VP of Internal Communications (what that means). How she supports others professionally. How her own professional growth has been supported. Context: Robin just finished a workshop for professionals on selling themselves, asking for promotions, and stepping forward in their careers. Emphasizes that she doesn't consider herself an expert but learns from conversations with experienced people like Mandy. Mandy explains her role and path Career path has been "a winding road." Did not study internal communications; discovered it later. Finds her job fun, though sometimes stressful: "I often think I might have the most fun job in the world. I mean, it, it can be stressful and it can't, you know, there are days where you wanna bang your head against the wall, but by and large, I love my job. It is so fun." Internal communications responsibility: Translate company strategy into something employees understand and are excited about. Example: Translate business plan for 2026 to 2,800 employees. Team's work includes: Internal emails. PowerPoints for global town halls. Speaking points for leaders. Infusing fun into company culture via intranet stories (culture, customers, innovation). Quick turnaround on timely stories (example: employee running seven marathons on seven continents; story created within 24 hours). Storytelling and theater skills are key: Coaching leaders for presentations: hand gestures, voice projection, camera presence. Mandy notes shared theater background with Robin: "You and I are both thespian, so we come from theater backgrounds." Robin summarizes role Sounds like a mix of HR and sales: supporting employee development while "selling" them on the company. Mandy elaborates on impact and mentorship Loves making a difference in employees' lives by giving information and support. Works closely with HR (Human Resources) to: Provide learning and development opportunities. Give feedback. Help managers improve. Wrote a book to guide navigating internal careers and relationships. Mentorship importance: Mentors help accelerate careers in any organization. Mandy's career journey Started studying apparel merchandising at Indiana University (with Kelley School of Business minor). Shifted from pre-med → theater → journalism → apparel merchandising. Took full advantage of career fairs and recruiter networking at Kelley School of Business. "The way that I've gotten jobs is not through applying online, it's through knowing somebody, through having a relationship." First role at Gap Inc.: rotational Retail Management Training Program (RMP). Some roles enjoyable, some less so; realized she loved the company even if some jobs weren't ideal. Mentor influence: Met Bobby Stillton, president of Gap Foundation, who inspired her with work empowering women and girls. Took a 15-minute conversation with Bobby and got an entry-level communications role. Career growth happened through mentorship, internal networking, and alignment with company she loved. Advice for her daughters (Robin's question) Flash-forward perspective: post-college or early career. How to start a career in corporate / large organizations: Increase "luck surface area" (exposure to opportunities). Network in a savvy way. Ask at the right times. Build influence to get ahead. Mentorship and internal relationships are key, not just applying for jobs online. 12:15 Career Advice and Building Relationships Initial advice: "Well first I would say always call your mom. Ask for advice. I'm right here, honey, anytime." Three keys to success: Relationships Expand your network. "You say yes to everything, especially early in your career." Examples: sit in on meetings, observe special projects, help behind the scenes. Benefits: Increases credibility. Shows people you can do anything. Reputation Build a reputation as confident, qualified, and capable. Online presence: Example: LinkedIn profile—professional, up-to-date, connected to network. Be a sponsor/advocate for your company (school, office, etc.). Monthly posts suggested: team photos, events, showing responsibility and trust. Offline reputation: Deliver results better than expected. "Deliver on the things that you said you were gonna do and do a better job than people expected of you." Resilience Not taught from books—learned through experience. Build resilience through preparation, not "fake it till you make it." Preparation includes: practicing presentations, thinking through narratives, blocking time before/after to collect thoughts and connect with people. "Preparation is my headline … that's part of what creates resilience." Mandy turns the question to Robin: "I wanna ask you too, I mean, Robin, you, you live and breathe this every day too. What do you think are the keys to success?" Robin agrees with preparation as key. Value of service work: Suggests working in service (food, hospitality) teaches humility. "I've never met somebody I think even ever in my life who is super entitled and profoundly ungrateful, who has worked a service job for any length of time." Robin's personal experience with service work: First business: selling pumpkins at Robin's Pumpkin Patch (age 5). Key formative experience: running Robin's Cafe (2016, opened with no restaurant experience, on three weeks' notice). Ran the cafe for 3 years, sold it on Craigslist. Served multiple stakeholders: nonprofit, staff (~15 employees), investors ($40,000 raised from family/friends). Trial by fire: unprepared first days—no full menu, no recipes, huge rush events. Concept of MI Plus: "Everything in its place" as preparation principle. Connecting service experience to corporate storytelling: Current business: Zandr Media (videos, corporate storytelling). Preparation is critical: Know who's where, what will be captured, and what the final asset looks like. Limited fixes in post-production, even with AI tools. Reinforces importance of preparation through repeated experience. Advice for future children / young people: Robin would encourage service jobs for kids for months or a year. Teaches: Sleep management, personal presentation, confidence, energy. "Deciding that I'm going to show up professionally … well … energetically." Emphasizes relentless optimism: positivity is a superpower. Experience shows contrast between being prepared and unprepared—learning from both is crucial. 16:36 The Importance of Service Jobs and Resilience Service jobs as formative experience: Worked as a waitress early in her career (teenager). Describes it as "the hardest job of my life". Challenges included: Remembering orders (memory). Constant multitasking. Dealing with different personalities and attitudes. Maintaining positivity and optimism through long shifts (e.g., nine-hour shifts). Fully agrees with Robin: service jobs teach humility and preparation. Optimism as a superpower: "I totally agree too that optimism is a superpower. I think optimism is my superpower." Writes about this concept in her book. Believes everyone has at least one superpower, and successful careers involve identifying and leaning into that superpower. Robin asks about the book Why did Mandy write the book? Inspiration behind the book? Also wants a deep dive into the writing process for her own interest. Mandy's inspiration and purpose of the book Title: "Corporating: Three Ways to Win At Work" Primary goal: Scale mentorship. Realized as she reached VP level, people wanted career advice. Increased visibility through: Position as VP. Connection with alma mater (Indiana University). Active presence on LinkedIn. Result: Many young professionals seeking mentorship. Challenge: Not sustainable to mentor individually. Solution: Writing a book allows her to scale mentorship without minimizing impact. Secondary goals / personal motivations: Acts as a form of "corporate therapy": Reflects on first 10 years of her career. Acknowledges both successes and stumbles. Helps process trials and tribulations. Provides perspective and gratitude for lessons learned. Fun aspect: as a writer, enjoyed formatting and condensing experiences into a digestible form for readers. Legacy and contribution: "I had something that I could contribute meaningfully to the world … as part of my own legacy … I do wanna leave this world feeling like I contributed something positive. So this is one of my marks."   21:37 Writing a Book and Creative Pursuits Robin asks Mandy about the writing process: "What's writing been like for you? Just the, the process of distilling your thinking into something permanent." Mandy: Writing process and finding the "25th hour" Loves writing: "I love writing, so the writing has been first and foremost fun." Where she wrote the book: Mostly from the passenger seat of her car. She's a working mom and didn't have traditional writing time. Advice from mentor Gary Magenta: "Mandy, you're gonna have to find the 25th hour." She found that "25th hour" in her car. Practical examples: During birthday party drop-offs: "Oh good. It's a drop off party. Bye. Bye, honey. See you in two hours. I'll be in the driveway. In my car. If you need anything, please don't need anything." Would write for 1.5–2 hours. During Girl Scouts, swim, any activity. On airplanes: Finished the book on an eight-hour flight back from Germany. It was her 40th birthday (June 28). "Okay, I did it." Realization moment: "You chip away at it enough that you realize, oh, I have a book." Robin: On parents and prioritization Parents told him: "When you have kids, you just find a way." Children create: Stricter prioritization. A necessary forcing function. Mandy's self-reflection: "I believe that I am an inherently lazy person, to be totally honest with you." But she's driven by deadlines and deliverables. Kids eliminate "lazy days": No more slow Saturdays watching Netflix. "They get up. You get up, you have to feed these people like there's a human relying on you." Motherhood forces motivation: "My inherent laziness has been completely wiped away the past nine years." Writing happened in small windows of time. Importance of creative outlet: Having something for yourself fuels the rest of life. Examples: writing, crocheting, quilting, music. Creativity energizes other areas of life. Robin mentions The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. Advice from that book: Have something outside your day job that fuels you. For Robin: Physical practice (gym, handstands, gymnastics, ballet, capoeira, surfing). It's a place to: Celebrate. Feel progress. Win, even if work is struggling. Example: If tickets aren't selling. If newsletter flops. If client relationships are hard. Physical training becomes the "anchor win." Mandy's writing took over two years. Why? She got distracted writing a musical version of the book. There is now: "Corporating: The Book" "Corporating: The Musical" Three songs produced online. Collaboration with composer Eric Chaney. Inspiration from book: Time, Talent, Energy (recommended by former boss Sarah Miran). Concept: we have limited time, talent, and energy. Advice: Follow your energy when possible. If you're flowing creatively, go with it (unless there's an urgent deadline). You'll produce better work. She believes: The book is better because she created the musical. Musical helps during speaking engagements. Sometimes she sings during talks. Why music? Attention spans are short. Not just Gen Z — everyone is distracted. Music keeps people engaged. "I'm not just gonna tell you about the three ways to win at work. I'm gonna sing it for you too." Robin on capturing attention If you can hold attention of: Five-year-olds. Thirteen-year-olds. You can hold anyone's attention. Shares story: In Alabama filming for Department of Education. Interviewed Alabama Teacher of the Year (Katie). She has taught for 20 years (kindergarten through older students). Observed: High enthusiasm. High energy. Willingness to be ridiculous to capture attention. Key insight: Engagement requires energy and presence. 28:37 The Power of Music in Capturing Attention Mandy's part of a group called Mic Drop Workshop. Led by Lindsay (last name unclear in transcript) and Jess Tro. They meet once a month. Each session focuses on improving a different performance skill. The session she describes focused on facial expressions. Exercise they did: Tell a story with monotone voice and no facial expressions. Tell the story "over the top clown like, go really big, something that feels so ridiculous." Tell it the way you normally would. Result: Her group had four people. "Every single one of us liked number two better than one or three." Why version two worked best: When people are emotive and expressive: It's more fun to watch. It's more entertaining. It's more engaging. Connection to kids and storytelling: Think of how you tell stories to five-year-olds: Whisper. Get loud. Get soft. Use dynamic shifts. The same applies on stage. Musical integration: Music is another tool for keeping attention. Helps maintain engagement in a distracted world. Robin: Hiring for energy and presence Talks about hiring his colleague Zach Fish. Technical producer for: Responsive Conference. Snafu Conference. Freelancer Robin works with often. Why Robin hires Zach: Yes, he's technically excellent. But more importantly: "He's a ball of positive energy and delight and super capable and confident, but also just pleasant to be with." Robin's hiring insight: If he has a choice, he chooses Zach. Why? "I feel better." Energy and presence influence hiring decisions. Zach's background: Teaches weekly acrobatics classes for kids in Berkeley. He's used to engaging audiences. That translates into professional presence. Robin: Energy is learnable When thinking about: Who to hire. Who to promote. Who to give opportunities to. Traits that matter: Enthusiasm. Positivity. Big energy. Being "over the top" when needed. Important insight: This isn't necessarily a God-given gift. It can be learned. Like music or performance. Like anything else. 31:00 The Importance of Positive Work Relationships Mandy reflects on: The tension between loud voices and quiet voices. "Oftentimes the person who is the loudest is the one who gets to talk the most, but the person who's the quietest is the one who maybe has the best ideas." Core question: How do you exist in a world where both of those things are true? Parenting lens: One daughter is quieter than the other. Important to: Encourage authenticity. Teach the skill of using your voice loudly when needed. It's not about changing personality. It's about equipping someone to advocate for themselves when necessary Book is targeted at: Students about to enter the corporate world. Early-career professionals. Intentional writing decision: Exactly 100 pages. Purpose: "To the point, practical advice." Holds attention. Digestible. Designed for distracted readers. Emotional honesty: Excited but nervous to reconnect with students. Acknowledges: The world has changed. It's been a while since she was in college. Advice she's trying to live: Know your audience Core principle: "Get to know your audience. Like really get in there and figure out who they are." Pre-book launch tour purpose: Visiting universities (including her alma mater). Observing students. Understanding: Their learning environment. Their day-to-day experiences. The world they're stepping into. Communication principle: Knowing your audience is essential in communications. Also essential in career-building. If you have a vision of where you want to go: "Try to find a way to get there before you're there." Tactics: Meet people in those roles. Shake their hands. Have coffee. Sit in those seats. Walk those halls. See how it feels. Idea: Test the future before committing to it. Reduce uncertainty through proximity. What if you don't have a vision? Robin pushes back thoughtfully: What about people who: Don't know what they want to do? Aren't sure about staying at a company? Aren't sure about career vs. business vs. stay-at-home parent? Acknowledges: There's abundance in the world. Attention is fragmented. Implied tension: How do you move forward without clarity? 35:13 Mentorship and Career Guidance How to help someone figure out what's next Start with questions, not answers A mentor's primary job: ask questions from a place of curiosity Especially when someone is struggling with what they want to do or their career direction Key questions: What brings you joy? What gives you energy? What's the dream? Imagine retirement — what does that look like? Example: A financial advisor made Mandy and her husband define retirement vision; then work backwards (condo in New Zealand, annual family vacations) Clarify what actually matters Distinguish life priorities: Security → corporate job; Teamwork → corporate environment; Variety and daily interaction → specific roles Mentoring becomes a checklist: Joy, strengths, lifestyle, financial expectations, work environment preferences Then make connections: Introduce them to people in relevant environments, encourage informational interviews You don't know what you don't know Trial and error is inevitable Build network intentionally: Shadow people, observe, talk to parents' friends, friends of friends Even experienced professionals have untapped opportunities Stay curious and do the legwork Mixing personal and professional identity Confidence to bring personal interests into corporate work comes from strategy plus luck Example: Prologis 2021, senior leaders joked about forming a band; Mandy spoke up, became lead singer CEO took interest after first performance, supported book launch She didn't always feel this way Early corporate years: Feel like a "corporate robot," worrying about jargon, meetings, email etiquette, blending in Book explores blending in while standing out Advice for bringing full self to work Don't hide it, but don't force it; weave into casual conversation Find advocates: Amazing bosses vs terrible ones, learn from both Mentorship shaped her framework: Relationships, reputation, and resilience Resilience and rejection Theater as rejection bootcamp: Auditions, constant rejection Foundations of resilience: Surround yourself with supportive people, develop intrinsic self-worth, know you are worthy Creating conditions for success Age 11 audition story: Last-minute opportunity, director asked her to sing, she sang and got the part Why it worked: Connections (aunt in play), parent support, director willing to take a chance, she showed up Resilience is not just toughing it out: Have support systems, build self-worth, seek opportunity, create favorable conditions, step forward when luck opens a door 44:18 Overcoming Rejection and Building Resilience First show experiences Robin's first stage production is uncertain; she had to think carefully At 17, walked into a gymnastics gym after being a cross country runner for ten years, burnt out from running Cold-called gyms from the Yellow Pages; most rejected her for adult classes, one offered adult classes twice a week That led to juggling, circus, fencing, capa, rock climbing — a "Cambrian explosion" of movement opportunities About a year and a half later, walked into a ballet studio in corduroy and a button-up, no ballet shoes; first ballet teacher was Eric Skinner at Reed College, surrounded by former professional ballerinas First internal college production was his first show; ten years later performed as an acrobat with the San Francisco Opera in 2013, six acrobats among 200 people on stage, four-hour shows with multiple costume changes and backflips Relationship to AI and the evolving world of work Mandy never asks her daughters "What do you want to be?" because jobs today may not exist in the future Focus on interests: plants, how things are built, areas of curiosity for future generations Coaching her team: Highly capable, competent, invested in tools and technology for digital signage, webinars, emails, data-driven insights, videos Approach AI with cautious optimism: Adopt early, embrace technology, use it to enhance work rather than replace it Example: Uses a bot for scheduling efficiency, brainstorming; enhances job performance by integrating AI from day one Advice: Approach AI with curiosity, not fear; embrace tools to be smarter and more efficient, stay ahead in careers 53:05 Where to Find Mandy Mandy will be speaking at Snafu Conference on March 5, discussing rejection and overcoming it.

When Jesus hung on the cross, what did God the Father actually see? Most of us see a historical event where a Savior died for us, but the Bible reveals a deeper mystery: Jesus died as us. In this message, we dive into the "Spiritual Camera" of God to understand our true identity in Christ.

Have you ever felt like you understand your Human Design chart, yet still notice places in your life where fear, grief, or uncertainty linger — especially around love, loss, and endings?In this episode, I explore why understanding Human Design — like understanding spirituality, death, or consciousness — is only the first phase of alignment. True transformation happens when we move out of the mind and into embodied soul awareness.This conversation was inspired by a quiet moment of grief while watching The Fault in Our Stars, which opened a deeper inquiry for me: what if death isn't the end of love, but a transition? And what if the same principle applies to how we live our Human Design?In this episode, I explore:Why two people can experience the same event — or have similar designs — and live entirely different realitiesWhat it means to move from reading your design to living itHow embodiment changes the way we lead, love, grieve, and let goThis is an invitation to soften, to trust, and to let alignment become something you live — not something you try to figure out.Timestamps:01:19 Exploring the Concept of Death and Transition03:06 The Soul's Journey After Death05:24 Personal Experiences and Insights08:11 The Holding Pattern Explained17:55 Stages of Soul Transition25:48 InvitationSTAY CONNECTED: Soul Guide Circle: JOIN the Soul Guide Circle closed Facebook Group Facebook: FOLLOW on Facebook Instagram: FOLLOW on Instagram YouTube: Follow in YouTube Ready to grow a prosperous soul-guided business?

Baxter likens the shift to moving from heavy metal to Schubert, emphasizing greenness, brightness, and unexpected mercy.Baxter explains that his translation began as a personal quest for mastery—going word-by-word to internalize Dante like memorizing a piano piece—but evolved into a philosophy capturing Dante's “fugue” of style: ascending, prolix syntax with lofty classical allusions layered over humble, earthy words that reflect Franciscan humility and incarnational Christian poetics. Examples include goats ruminating on the “foco d'amore” (fire of love) amid elevated star imagery, or Statius calling Virgil's Aeneid “una mamma” (translated “mommy”).He describes Purgatorio as spiritual surgery—painfully removing the soul's “carcinogenic” elements through grace-filled cooperation—and a map for configuring to Christ beyond mere sin avoidance. Baxter advises first-time readers to pause at puzzling images or word choices, ask “why would Dante do that here?,” trust their instincts, and consider his audiobook for the text's soundscape, while Deacon Garlick stresses the canticle's role as a spiritual guide that mirrors one's own maturation toward God.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and Dante's Purgatorio03:43 The Center for Beauty and Culture05:40 Understanding Dante's Purgatorio07:54 The Nature of Purgatorio14:54 Dante the Pilgrim vs. Dante the Poet19:32 The Spirituality of Translation20:14 The Philosophy of Translation30:02 Dante's Christian Poetics34:22 Exploring Dante's Poetic Style36:51 Juxtaposition in Dante's Imagery41:42 The Concept of Spiritual Surgery44:49 The Journey of Holiness48:13 The Role of...

In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Genovese, dimensional breathwork guide, inner child + shadow work teacher, and a fierce advocate for inner sovereignty and soul reclamation — for a grounded, no-BS conversation about what spirituality actually is (and what it definitely isn't). Andrew shares his personal hero's journey…from years of nomadic travel and existential dread, to a full-blown awakening catalyzed by loss, collapse, and deep surrender. He walks us through the real mechanics of transformation: nervous system capacity, embodiment, and the willingness to face your own darkness instead of hiding behind slogans. We go straight at the modern “spiritual scene” — the robes, the persona, the Love & Light bypassing and why real awakening doesn't look like anything…except becoming radically, unapologetically yourself. If you've ever felt allergic to the performance of spirituality and hungry for something with substance, this episode is your compass.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:37) Opening Conversation(01:13) Exclusive Membership Announcements(03:34) Andrew Genovese's Hero's Journey(09:10) His Defining Psychedelic Experience(15:21) Reflecting on Childhood and Family Dynamics(28:47) What Is Spiritual Awakening Really?(38:18) The Illusion of Perfection(45:36) Living with an Open Heart & Navigating Life's Challenges(01:00:19) The Role of Nervous System in Personal Growth(01:06:30) True Leadership and Authenticity(01:11:05) Understanding Personality and Birth Cards(01:13:33) The Concept of Downloading Codes(01:15:55) Questioning Spiritual Language and Authenticity(01:25:56) Dimensional Breath Work and Personal Growth(01:36:44) The Hero's Journey and Self-EsteemGuest Linkshttps://www.andrewgenovesehealing.com/ https://www.instagram.com/breathehealevolve/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode we explore the evolving landscape of women in film — particularly in non-traditional and physically demanding roles — with filmmaker Jaze Bordeaux.In our conversation, Jaze shares his journey championing stories centered around women in combat sports and mixed martial arts — a concept that, when first pitched in 2016, was met with skepticism from distributors and industry decision-makers. At the time, many questioned whether audiences would support films featuring women in these kinds of physically intense, traditionally male-dominated roles.Despite the resistance, Jaze believed in the cultural and cinematic potential of these narratives and continued pushing forward. Today, the industry has shifted dramatically, with a growing wave of films highlighting women in combat sports and other unconventional spaces.We discuss:Women in non-traditional film rolesMixed martial arts films and combat sports cinemaIndustry skepticism vs audience demandProducing female-driven sports storiesIndependent film challenges during the pandemicFilm festival recognition and awards circuitsJaze also reflects on the success of his projects, which have earned over 30 awards — including honors at the prestigious Palladino D'Oro International Sports Film Festival. While accolades were never the goal, they stand as validation of the passion and perseverance behind these films.We also touch on the broader momentum building around stories like Queen of the Ring and Halle Berry's MMA-focused work, signaling a larger industry shift toward inclusive, boundary-breaking storytelling.Whether you're an actor, filmmaker, or film enthusiast, this episode highlights how persistence, vision, and advocacy can reshape what kinds of stories get told — and who gets to lead them.Join us as we explore the rise of women in combat sports cinema and the future of non-traditional roles in film.Check out these links:⁠⁠⁠http://jazebordeaux.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/jazebordeaux/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jazebordeaux/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@jazebordeaux⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jazebordeaux⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/jazebordeaux00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Advocacy for Women in Non-traditional Roles00:00:44 - Initial Resistance to Women's Mixed Martial Arts00:01:50 - Market Reception and Success of Women's Mixed Martial Arts00:04:20 - Accolades and Awards for the Film00:07:40 - Experience at the Palladino Doro International Sports Film Festival00:13:09 - Discussion on Short Film 'Starry Eyed'00:15:08 - Character Development and Casting Decisions00:16:32 - Involvement of Film School Graduates00:17:35 - The Evolution of Storytelling and Directing00:18:42 - Supporting Other Filmmakers and Directors00:19:55 - Introduction to 'Let Go'00:24:52 - Success of 'EFC' and Future Projects00:26:06 - Introduction to 'Genesis'00:26:13 - The Concept and Evolution of 'Genesis'00:30:25 - Clarification on 'The Arrival' Reference00:31:09 - Vision for 'Genesis'00:31:17 - The Timelessness of 'Genesis'00:32:17 - Advice for Storytelling00:32:31 - Closing Remarks

Ce n'est pas une hystérie collective.C'est notre réalité.Face à ça, nous avons développé trois réflexes :le nihilisme passif (“on est foutus, autant profiter”),l'indignation permanente (qui donne bonne conscience mais n'engage rien),l'optimisme béat (“la technologie va nous sauver”).Aucun ne tient vraiment.Dans cet épisode solo de Vlan, je propose une autre voie :- prendre la peur au sérieux,- comprendre ce qu'elle nous dit et la transformer en élan d'action.Je m'appuie sur plusieurs penseurs – Thomas Hobbes, Baruch Spinoza, Aristote, Erich Fromm – pour montrer une chose essentielle : historiquement et philosophiquement, la peur a toujours été un moteur de coopération, de création et de civilisation.On parle de :pourquoi notre peur est rationnelle,pourquoi vouloir la supprimer est une erreur,pourquoi nous ne sommes pas égaux face à elle,comment l'action agit comme une catharsis,et comment le conatus – cet élan vital décrit par Spinoza – continue d'agir en nous, même quand tout semble bloqué.Ce n'est pas un épisode de développement personnel.Ce n'est pas un épisode “solutions miracles”.C'est une tentative honnête de répondre à une question centrale de notre époque :que faire de notre peur, quand le monde devient objectivement inquiétant ?Citations marquantes« La peur n'est pas notre ennemie. C'est un moteur de transformation. »« Le grand mensonge, c'est de croire que la peur est une faiblesse. »« Nous ne sommes pas faits pour affronter seuls les grandes épreuves. »« Le conatus ne demande pas la permission au contexte pour exister. »« Ce qui vous fait peur révèle ce qui compte pour vous. »Idées centrales discutées

Why do the people you thought knew you best stay silent—or worse, side with the person who hurt you? This secondary betrayal often cuts deeper than the narcissistic behavior itself. Switzerland friends insist on neutrality while your pain makes them uncomfortable. Flying monkeys carry your vulnerability straight back to your abuser. When you finally name what's happening and the people closest to you rush to minimize or report back, your nervous system doesn't just register disappointment—it registers danger. Tony walks through why "I don't want to take sides" isn't actually neutral, how flying monkeys weaponize your words, and the exhausting ping-pong match of trying to be understood by people who need not to understand you in order to feel safe themselves. In this episode, you'll learn: The critical difference between Switzerland friends (who neutralize) and flying monkeys (who expose)—and why both leave you questioning reality How narcissistic systems hijack co-regulation, making everyone responsible for stabilizing the most emotionally immature person in the room Why your body's response after sharing something vulnerable is better data than the words exchanged The five ways narcissists regulate their nervous systems through you: superiority, victimhood, being right, being admired, and being defended How to stop "auditioning for belief" and start choosing relationships that can actually hold emotional weight Drawing from over 20 years of couples therapy and thousands of real conversations, Tony offers a framework for recognizing when explanation has replaced connection—and why the most regulated thing you can say is simply, "I know what I experienced." Ready to stop offering your nervous system as a resource to people who won't protect it?

In this Smart Real Estate Coach master's class, I'm bringing back Brandon Cobb, founder of FBG Capital and host of Recession Resistant Real Estate Radio, to walk you through one of the most powerful and least taught niches in the business: entitling land for national homebuilders and turning dirt into 6–7 figure paydays.     Brandon shares how getting fired from his dream medical device job pushed him into entrepreneurship, why your W-2 is actually your biggest risk, and how he built a land development model where Wall Street-backed builders like Lennar, Pulte, D.R. Horton and others line up to buy his approved projects. We break down his three-phase entitlement process, why he never buys land until approvals are in place, what a typical 15-month entitlement timeline and $500K+ profit deal looks like, and who his Learn Land Development mastermind is actually for (hint: not brand-new investors or "no money down" thinkers).    If you've been looking for a way to do bigger deals without swinging hammers yourself, this episode will open your eyes to a niche that works in every real estate asset class.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:31 Recession Resistant Real Estate Radio 02:24 From dream job to "accidental entrepreneur" 03:35 Lessons from losing his dream job 04:51 Fast-forward: from hustling to large land deals with national builders 06:05 Why you can't rely on a single employer anymore 07:01 The opportunity in selling land to big developers 08:25 The "fastest-growing secret" niche in real estate 11:20 Working on a minimum of 50 units per project 12:50 Phase 1: Learn what the city wants & target the right land 14:05 Phase 2: Contract & entitlements (contingent on approvals) 16:18 Phase 3: Negotiate the best possible deal with your end buyer 17:36 Concept plan: aligning the city and the builder before spending big money 18:21 Resources: Skool community + training + coaching 19:01 Training Section #1: Land Development Blueprint 19:25 Training Section #2: Capital Raising Machine 19:46 Training Section #3: Weekly group coaching calls & in-person project walks 20:25 Land entitlement: Not an entry-level, no-money-down program 22:00 3 main exit paths for entitled land 24:22 Free course: LearnLandDevelopment.com   Quotables   "Nobody was going to look out for my financial well-being but me."   "We never buy anything.
