What if you could transform every meeting into your best meeting ever? This week's episode of Do Good to Lead Well features Rebecca Hinds, the acclaimed bestselling author of "Your Best Meeting Ever." Our conversation dives into the hidden dynamics behind every team gathering, from subtle power plays to the creeping status bias of overloaded calendars.Our discussion moves beyond complaints about “death by meeting” to practical, research-backed solutions. Rebecca introduces concepts like meeting debt and the "4D CEO test," arming listeners with frameworks to diagnose, declutter, and redesign meeting culture for maximum impact. Highlights include the transformative idea of “meeting doomsday”—a bold approach to calendar cleansing that opens the door for more meaningful collaboration.We also tackle perennial challenges such as how to handle meeting FOMO, design for inclusion, and encourage respectful pushback in hierarchical settings. We also explore how to use AI as an ally rather than a crutch to maximize engagement and effectiveness.For leaders invested in building stronger teams and organizations, this episode delivers a timely, practical roadmap for doing meetings differently. With actionable insights and research-driven frameworks, the discussion promises not just fewer meetings, but meetings that truly move work forward.What You'll Learn- Meetings as a Form of Invisible Sabotage.- Meetings = Status Symbols?- How to Avoid Productivity Theatre in Meetings.- Do You Need That Meeting?

This lecture discusses the 20th century Analytic philosopher, Thomas Nagel's essay "Sexual Perversion", and focuses upon the initial clarifications Nagel thinks needs to be made about the concept of sexual perversion before going on to examine it in further detail. He makes three positive clarifications, which are what we calls general conditions the concept must meet. He also makes two negative clarifications as well, namely that the concept does not have any connection with sexual reproduction as such, and that social disapprobation or custom do not have any bearing on it.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with James Woods for a conversation centered on a part of his creative life that may surprise people who primarily know him as an actor: songwriting.James talks about the remarkable burst of creativity that has produced more than 75 songs and a series of concept albums created alongside Shooter Jennings and Bob Wayne. We dig into his upcoming album, The Killer's Wife, the single “The Hearts of Men,” and the real-life experience that became the starting point for the album's fictional story.What interested me most was the difference James sees between acting and songwriting. As an actor, he spent decades interpreting someone else's words and vision. Songwriting has given him the opportunity to begin with a blank page and say exactly what he wants to say. We talk about writing quickly, trusting instinct, revising individual words until they feel right, and what happens when a song seems to arrive almost fully formed.James also takes us inside the collaborative process with Shooter Jennings, Bob Wayne, and the musicians who bring these records to life. He describes watching players hear a song, make a chart, and begin shaping the music almost immediately — and how their individual choices can transform the emotional meaning of something he originally wrote alone.Ultimately, this is a conversation about creative second acts. James reflects on finding a new artistic path later in life, writing from personal experience, creating his own record label, and why he believes artists should look for ways to retain control of their work. For someone who spent much of his career bringing other people's stories to life, songwriting has become an opportunity to finally tell his own.Key Takeaways• James Woods has written more than 75 songs and describes songwriting as an unexpected creative outpouring that emerged later in his life.• He sees a fundamental difference between acting and songwriting: acting is interpretive, while songwriting allows him to originate the words, ideas, and perspective himself.• His collaboration with Shooter Jennings began during the COVID era and eventually expanded to include Bob Wayne, with whom Woods developed an unusually fast and productive writing partnership.• Concept albums have become central to Woods' approach. Rather than treating songs as isolated pieces, he likes creating records connected by characters, ideas, imagery, and narrative themes.• The Killer's Wife grew from an experience Woods had as a young man, but he transformed that memory into a fictional narrative rather than attempting to document the actual people involved.• Woods places enormous value on the contributions of musicians in the studio, describing how players such as Aubrey Richmond, Jamie Douglass, John Schreffler Jr., and Ted Russell Kamp can dramatically reshape a song through instinctive musical choices.• Woods views this period as a creative second act and hopes his independent approach to making and releasing music can encourage other artists to find ways to maintain greater control of their work.Music from the EpisodeSong - ArtistAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, the people who make it, and the experiences that shape a creative life.

Send us Fan MailWelcome 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, we're continuing our series of episodes exploring what concept training actually is and how it shows up in real life with your dog. We're taking the concepts you hear us talk about all the time, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your everyday training. This time, Lauren is joined by the brilliant Alice to explore flexibility – your dog's ability to roll with whatever life throws their way.Does your dog know exactly when dinner should arrive? Start pestering the moment walk time approaches? Pull like a train along the familiar route to the park? Or struggle when something doesn't happen quite the way they expected? Those everyday patterns can tell us a lot about flexibility – and what happens when expectations and reality don't quite match.In this episode, Lauren and Alice explore how building mental flexibility can reduce frustration, lower arousal and help dogs cope more easily when plans change. Because life does change. Walks get cancelled, holidays happen, dogs stay with other people, routines shift and sometimes the thing your dog expected simply isn't going to happen today. The more adaptable they can be, the easier those changes become.You'll also hear loads of practical ways to grow flexibility through everyday life and training. From ditching the bowl and varying your walking routes to Noise Box, changing the outcome your dog expects and taking familiar behaviours into completely different situations, Lauren and Alice share simple ways to help your dog discover that different can be absolutely fine. They even explore how flexibility can help with calm comings and goings, separation and those Christmas-morning greetings every time you walk through the door.And there's a lesson for the human end of the lead too. Sometimes helping our dogs become more flexible means looking at our own expectations, changing the picture we had in our heads and learning to work with the dog standing in front of us.Ready to help your dog become an “I can roll with it” kind of dog?

When Following Jesus Costs You Something Real | Before You Quit #9 What happens when following Jesus costs you something—or someone—you genuinely love? In Day 9 of Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done, Rob Skinner talks about a part of Christianity that can be painful to accept: Obedience can cost you something real. When Rob became a Christian during his junior year of college, one of the first people he wanted to tell was his best friend from high school. This was someone Rob could completely be himself around. They had taken road trips together. Made memories together. Enjoyed their college years together. Rob expected his friend to understand why his newfound faith meant so much to him. Instead, something changed almost immediately. His friend's body language changed. A relationship that had always felt completely comfortable suddenly became awkward. And eventually, the friendship was effectively over. Rob was shocked. He had expected the people closest to him to see what he saw in the gospel. Instead, he experienced firsthand Jesus' warning: "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." — Matthew 10:22 Jesus also said: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." — Matthew 10:34 Christianity in Concept vs. Christianity in Reality Christianity in concept can sound awesome and amazing. Christianity in reality can be painful and costly. Following Jesus can sometimes cost you: Friends. Opportunities. Invitations. Promotions. Your reputation. Comfort. Parts of the life you once knew. And when that happens, it's easy to start looking backward. You may begin wondering: "Was my life better before?" "Is something wrong with me?" "Is something wrong with my church?" "Is something wrong with my faith?" But sometimes people's reaction to your faith is less about what they think of you and more about what they think of Jesus. Your new faith, standards and worldview may make people uncomfortable. They may feel judged. They may feel replaced by your Christian friends. They may feel neglected by your new priorities and schedule. Following Jesus can change relationships. And that can hurt. Jesus Never Hid the Cost Jesus said: "Those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." — Luke 14:33 Sacrifice isn't an optional part of Christianity. And it isn't partial. Jesus' call touches everything we consider valuable: Our lives. Our families. Our friendships. Our money. Our time. Our habits. Our behavior. Our possessions. So if you're considering walking away from Jesus because following him has cost you something, slow down before you make that decision. Ask yourself: What am I really giving up if I walk away? Then turn your attention back to Jesus. Paul writes: "Though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." — 2 Corinthians 8:9 Jesus understands sacrifice. He gave up wealth. Relationships. Honor. Prestige. Comfort. And ultimately, his life. He gave everything to win your heart. So when obedience feels expensive, remember what Jesus has already given you—and what he continues to give. Before you quit because the cost feels too high, look again at Jesus. He is worth the cost. This is Day 9 of Rob Skinner's Before You Quit series, based on his new book, Before You Quit: Hope for the Christian Who Feels Done. If you know someone who's discouraged because following Jesus has cost them friendships, relationships, opportunities or comfort, send them this episode. Rob's goal is to inspire you to live a no-regrets life, make this life count, and multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning?, Seth, Allyson, and Tami continue their conversation with Dr. Mark Deschaine — Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Mississippi and editor of the Journal of Contemporary Research in Education — about what it actually means to individualize, differentiate, personalize, and build presence in online learning environments, and why treating those four things as synonyms has real consequences for practice. Deschaine frames the discussion through decades of research in special education policy, online learning design, and teacher preparation.Together, Seth, Allyson, Tami, and Mark explore the four distinct instructional frames — individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence — unpacking each one's theoretical basis and what it requires from a teacher or program designer. Mark introduces a four-quadrant framework for educational decision-making — theoretical, legal, empirical, and practical — that grounds those choices in something more durable than intuition. Seth synthesizes the two frameworks into a single arc: differentiation creates the conditions, individualization targets the path, personalization restores the learner's agency, and presence is the measure of whether it worked. The conversation then turns structural: as tens of thousands of students leave traditional systems for homeschooling and micro schools, school districts lose not just enrollment revenue but their roles as the primary economic engines of rural communities. Mark traces how state variation in school choice policy, educational savings accounts, and the decentralization of federal funding are reshaping where families live — and what kinds of learning infrastructure those communities can sustain. The episode ends on a question Mark leaves deliberately open: does a community have the resilience to absorb this level of change?Key topics:Individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence as four distinct instructional framesFour-quadrant decision-making: theoretical, legal, empirical, and practicalHow special education's IEP model illuminates what individualized learning actually requiresHomeschooling growth and its impact on traditional school enrollment and fundingSchool districts as community economic engines — and what happens when they shrinkState variation in school choice, educational savings accounts, and online learning accessGeographic equity gaps in who can access distance learningLinks & Resources:"Framing Instructional Strategies as a Concept in K-12 Digital Learning" — Deschaine, Rice & Rose, ResearchGate, March 2026. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/402734231"Providing Special Education Services in Fully Online Statewide Virtual Schools: A Policy Scan" — Deschaine et al., 2020. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340436252National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQOL): https://nsqol.org/Michigan Virtual: michiganvirtual.orgThe Reflective Practitioner — Donald Schön: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/donald-a-schon/the-reflective-practitioner/9780786725366/?lens=basic-booksGuest Bio: Mark E.

What is a nation—and why does that question matter for Christians, missions, and the Great Commission?In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman responds to the “Which Way America?” debate featuring Al Mohler, Doug Wilson, Joe Rigney, and Paul Miller. Before Christians debate what a nation should do, Alex argues, we first need to define what a nation actually is.Drawing from Genesis 10, Matthew 28, Acts 17, Revelation, Psalm 2, and the history of Christian missions, Alex examines the biblical concept of nations and the roles of land, lineage, language, law, liturgy, and culture.What does Scripture mean by “the nations”? And how should that shape Christian thinking about nationhood, missions, ordered loves, and the lordship of Christ?Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Herbert Simon coined the term “satisficing” – a combination of satisfy and suffice. It's easy to think that the best way to make decisions is to search for the very best option. If we look carefully and take plenty of time, we will find it. This approach is called maximizing. Simon believed this was the wrong approach. Not necessarily obvious on the face of it. But he understood that the searching itself had a cost, a cost that's easy to overlook. In contrast to maximizing, satisficing calls on us to consider a few alternatives, evaluate them, perhaps get some advice, and reach a decision. A decision that will satisfy and suffice.

A packed bar can look wildly successful from the outside while quietly losing money behind the scenes. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Chris Schneider, Bar Business Coach, who shares why many bars struggle not because they lack customers, but because owners often lack the financial systems, pricing discipline, labor management, and business acumen needed to protect margins. He explains the importance of prime cost, hiring for attitude rather than experience, creating a memorable guest experience, and making dozens of small operational improvements that collectively improve the bottom line. Chris also explores how AI can support back-office operations, why owners need to rely on data instead of instinct alone, and what he would change first when turning around a struggling neighborhood bar. Key Takeaways:→ A bar can be packed with customers and still lose money if pricing, labor, entertainment, and other operating costs are not properly managed.→ Hospitality businesses often struggle when passion and operational experience are not paired with strong business and financial skills.→ Prime cost, which combines labor and the cost of goods sold, is one of the most important metrics bar and restaurant owners need to monitor.→ A clean, well-maintained restroom can strongly influence how guests perceive the overall cleanliness and quality of the entire establishment.→ Delivering an exceptional guest experience can generate more valuable word-of-mouth marketing than many traditional advertising methods. Chris Schneider bridges three critical areas in hospitality: operations, financial systems, and education. A former bar owner, he learned firsthand how to be profitable by managing neighborhood bars where every decision impacts the bottom line.

Revisiting this deep dive into Pixar's Coco, originally recorded for Popcorn Talk's Anatomy of a Movie. This isn't simply a review of whether the movie works. Alongside Demetri Panos and Marisa Serafini, I explore how Coco actually got made, tracing the film from its original concept and Pixar's research in Mexico through the development of its story, characters, animation, music and depiction of Día de Muertos. We also dig into the filmmakers behind Coco, including Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, the creative decisions that shaped Miguel's journey through the Land of the Dead, the film's all-Latino voice cast and its eventual theatrical release and box office performance. If you love Pixar, animation or learning how movies evolve from an initial idea into a finished film, this is a look back at the entire journey behind one of Pixar's most memorable movies. Originally aired on Popcorn Talk's Anatomy of a Movie with Demetri Panos, Marisa Serafini and Phil Svitek. To view the show notes, visit: Coco Anatomy of a Movie Show Notes

What if the way most of us travel—rushing between crowded landmarks and snapping quick photos—is actually preventing us from connecting with the true soul of a place?In this episode of TALKdesign, host Adrian Ramsay sits down with close friend Wenna Privé, founder of Eratō Retreats, to explore the magic of slow travel, the emotional concept of "Alma" (soul in space), and how small, design-led walking journeys are changing the way women experience the world.Drawing on her extensive background in luxury hospitality, Wenna shares what transforms a simple trip into a deeply memorable, life-changing journey. The secret lies in connection: to local people, to centuries-old craft traditions, to the history embedded in stone walls, and to the shared human energy of those traveling alongside you. Together, Adrian and Wenna explore the stark difference between generic modern "box" architecture and spaces built with genuine character, story, and warmth.In this episode, we dive into:• The Concept of "Alma" (Soul): Why a 500-year-old stone house in Provence feels fundamentally different from a 50-story concrete box.• Intimacy Over Mass Tourism: How capping retreat groups at 6 to 8 women removes the cattle-prod feel of traditional tours and creates space for lifelong friendships.• Preserving Local Heritage: The magic of visiting third-generation artisans, like sandal makers in Saint-Tropez handcrafting leather since the 1920s.• Refilling the Creative Cup: How daily walks through wild landscapes—from the chalk cliffs of Sussex to French villages—act as a natural remedy for burnout.• "Favourite People, Favourite Spaces": Why the emotional energy we share within an environment ultimately defines our memory of it.Whether you are a creative seeking to recharge your inspiration or a traveller longing for a richer, more meaningful adventure, this conversation will change how you look at place, design, and connection.⏯️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS:02:15 - Introducing Wenna Privé & The Story of Eratō Retreats05:00 - The Romance of Slow Travel & Meaningful Connections10:30 - Curation in the Nuances: Light, Linen, & Quiet Spaces15:15 - Choosing Unforgettable Places: From the Seven Sisters to Provence24:00 - Why Small Groups (6–8 People) Change Everything36:00 - Connecting with Local Artisans & 1920s Sandal Makers in Saint-Tropez43:30 - The Loss of Soul in Modern Cities & Thomas Heatherwick's 'Humanise'54:00 - Understanding "Alma": Feeling the Presence of Space01:08:00 - Solo Travel vs. Group Safety & Curing Creative Burnout01:22:00 - Refilling Your Creative Cup & Final Inspiration#TALKdesign #AdrianRamsay #SlowTravel #EratoRetreats #WennaPrive #ArchitectureAndDesign #DesignMagic #SlowMovement #BiophilicDesign #CreativeWellness #UKRetreats #ProvenceTravel #DesignPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Built For Life, Not Just Wealth is the podcast from Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins of Quantified Financial Partners in the Greater Seattle area. Earlier episodes were published as Beer & Money and Holistic Finance. In today's episode of Built For Life, Not Just Wealth, what if the thing blocking your financial progress is just one tiny word? Ryan Burklo reveals why the difference between saying "but" and "and" can expose the real tension behind your money goals - whether you want to build wealth, retire earlier, help your kids, or keep your lifestyle exactly the same. If you've ever felt stuck trying to want two good things at once, this episode gives you a better way to name it. Ryan breaks down how "and" changes the conversation from wishful thinking to honest trade-offs. Instead of forcing yourself to pick one goal too early, you'll learn how to identify competing priorities, test whether both can actually be true, and understand what has to change if they can't.   Check out our website:  https://www.builtforlifenotjustwealth.com/ Find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@builtforlifenotjustwealth/ Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.quantifiedfinancial.com/subscribe-now Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanburklofinance?igsh=ZTJzN3Jnajd5M2Mw Ryan Burklo's LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanburklo/ Alex Collin's LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandercollins/ For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo     #BuiltForLifeNotJustWealth #goalsetting #financialplanning #lifebalance #SethGodin #mindset #personaldevelopment   Takeaways Using 'and' instead of 'but' reveals competing goals that need reconciliation.

There's a version of success that looks amazing on paper and feels completely empty on the inside. I know because I've talked to a lot of entrepreneurs who chased the number first and the meaning second, and most of them will tell you they got it backwards. This episode is a gut check on that exact thing, recorded on one of our favorite hiking pods out here in Montana.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I hike & pod with Brian McMasters, founder of M&M Quality Solutions, a third party logistics company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri with operations in Salt Lake City and York, Pennsylvania. Brian has been running M&M Quality Solutions for 23 years and has been part of our Happy Hustle community for three of them. He's built his business on a simple, unfashionable idea, that real people beat bots every single time, and that the fastest way to grow a company is to actually care about the people inside it. He's also a husband, a man of deep faith, and someone who's about to release a book on the lessons that took him decades to learn the hard way.What makes this one matter is how honest Brian gets about the cost of chasing money for money's sake. He's not some guru talking theory. He's a guy who built a real logistics company from the ground up, hit the wall that almost every entrepreneur hits, and came out the other side with a totally different definition of what winning actually looks like. If you've ever felt like the hustle was starting to hollow you out instead of fill you up, this conversation is for you.A few things stood out to me that I don't want you to miss.Persistence beats talent every time. Brian says the number one reason he's still standing after 23 years is that he never quit, plain and simple. He calls himself a survivor, and when you remember that most businesses don't even make it past year one, that word means something.Your business should reflect what you actually care about. M&M Quality Solutions started as a pick, pack, and ship operation, and Brian is now steering it toward health and wellness products because that's where his own passion lives. He's not interested in being another faceless 3PL with hidden fees and confusing invoices. He wants his team to care about what's inside the box, not just get it out the door.You cannot build a real business alone. Brian talks about how lonely entrepreneurship gets without a community around you, people who've actually done the work and not just read about it. That's a huge reason he's stuck with Happy Hustle for three years running.Giving beats getting, in business and in love. His advice on relationships hit hard. Don't go in looking for what you can get, go in looking for what you can give, and it comes back to you tenfold. He said the same thing basically applies to how he leads his team.The biggest regret is almost always the same one. Brian was honest that his one regret is spending too many years chasing the money instead of investing that time in his people. Once he flipped that, everything else started to make sense.We also get into his rapid fire round, which is always one of my favorite parts of these hikes. Steak for the food, A Few Good Men for the movie, Think and Grow Rich for the book, and squats for the workout, which he says he used to hate and now genuinely loves. We talk about his morning routine of fifteen to twenty minutes in silence with God before the day even starts, why he trusts a real advisor over just checking boxes with an accountant, and the working title of his upcoming book, which traces back to lessons from his uncle in some very muddy backyards.This conversation reminded me why I love these hiking pods so much. You get the real version of someone when their legs are burning and their guard is down, and Brian gave us all of it. Faith, family, failure, and the kind of hard won wisdom you can only get by staying in the game for over two decades.If you're ready to rethink what you're actually chasing and why, go listen to the full episode. Brian's story is proof that the businesses built on people, not just profit, are the ones that last. When I asked him for his parting wisdom, he kept it simple. Pray, get a brotherhood, get out in nature, and keep hustlin'.Go listen to the full conversation now at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.Connect with Brianhttps://www.facebook.com/brian.mcmaster.50https://www.instagram.com/mmqualitysolutionshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/m-&-m-quality-solutions/https://twitter.com/mmqualsolutionsFind Brian on this website: https://mmqualitysolutions.com/about-us/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.tiktok.com/@caryjackhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a copy of his new book, https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course @ https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure @ https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:KilnYour environment shapes your energy and your results.

Sent us a text, you dicks!!Yeah, yeah, we know, we constantly harp on our shared belief that if you put a concept on a play, and particularly a Shakespeare play, it must ADD to the text and make the play better by its addition.  Otherwise, it sucks. So... in this episode, in what we think is chronological order, we go through every play in the canon and decide what we think would be a HORRIBLE idea for a concept for that play (or, in many cases, for ANY play).Yeah.Oh, and by the way, email us and tell us what you want us to talk about.To send us an email - please do, we truly want to hear from you!!! - write us at: thebardcastyoudick@gmail.com To support us (by giving us money - we're a 501C3 Non-Profit - helllloooooo, tax deductible donation!!!) - per episode if you like! On Patreon, go here:  https://www.patreon.com/user?u=35662364&fan_landing=trueOr on Paypal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=8KTK7CATJSRYJWe also take cash!   ;DTo visit our website, go here:https://www.thebardcastyoudick.comTo donate to an awesome charity, go here:https://actorsfund.org/help-our-entertainment-communiity-covid-19-emergency-reliefLike us?

Since returning to office, President Trump has moved to restrict gender-affirming care, bar transgender and nonbinary people from the military and roll back other LGBTQ nondiscrimination policies. It's a sweeping attack that pioneering transgender historian Susan Stryker says the trans rights movement was not prepared for. We talk to Stryker about what this moment means for transgender people and for everyone's freedom to define themselves. Her new book is “Changing Gender: The History and Future of a Concept”.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley draws from his decade-long ecommerce experience to explore the critical role of perseverance in entrepreneurial success. Using relatable analogies like video game bosses and concrete walls, Josh candidly shares his own struggles with business growth while emphasizing that persistent challenges signal worthwhile problems, not failure. He encourages entrepreneurs to combine patience with strategic focus, make incremental daily improvements, and resist the temptation to abandon their current business when growth stalls. Ultimately, Josh frames long-term success as the result of consistent effort, smart decision-making, and unwavering faith in the process.Bullet Points:Importance of perseverance in entrepreneurship, particularly in ecommerce.Challenges and constraints faced by entrepreneurs during business growth.Comparison of entrepreneurial challenges to "boss levels" in video games.Value of slow, steady growth over quick success.Misconceptions about rapid, overnight success in business.Concept of "intelligent perseverance" and flexible goal achievement.Need for a clear business strategy focusing on impactful constraints.Balancing business growth with personal life and relationships.The significance of incremental improvements and resilience during tough times.Encouragement to persist through challenges and maintain consistent effort.Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction to PerseveranceThe host introduces himself and the episode's theme: why perseverance is a crucial trait for entrepreneurial success in ecommerce.00:01:04 The Power of a Daily MessageThe host shares how a short inspirational video on perseverance helped him overcome a personal funk and business-related frustrations.00:02:07 Defining PerseveranceThe host defines perseverance as the steady effort to achieve a goal, even when it's hard or takes a long time.00:03:13 The Video Game AnalogyBusiness growth is compared to a video game, where entrepreneurs must defeat progressively harder "bosses" or constraints to level up.00:06:32 The Challenge of OmnichannelTransitioning from an Amazon-only brand to an omnichannel presence is presented as a massive, multi-year challenge, like a thick concrete wall.00:08:43 The Reality of SuccessThe host reassures listeners that slow, steady growth is more common than the overnight success stories often seen on social media.00:11:13 The 40-Year "Overnight" SuccessThe story of Portillo's is used as an example of a business that took 40 years to become a major success.00:12:28 Balancing Growth and LifestyleThe host discusses sacrificing rapid growth for a more sustainable pace that allows for family time and a balanced lifestyle.00:15:15 Intelligent Perseverance and StrategyPerseverance must be paired with a good strategy, which involves recognizing patterns and focusing limited resources on the right opportunities.00:17:49 The Uncomfortable MiddleThe host describes the challenging phase after hiring new talent, where progress isn't immediately visible and patience is required.00:20:20 The Real Test of an EntrepreneurTrue perseverance is tested not when things are going well, but when facing negative feedback, missed targets, and setbacks.00:22:36 The Danger of Diversifying Too SoonEntrepreneurs often jump to new ventures when they hit a constraint, instead of persevering through the challenges of their current business.00:24:50 The Breakthrough is a Process, Not an EventSuccess is not one giant breakthrough but the result of making slightly better decisions consistently over a long period of time.00:27:09 The Goal is to Handle HardshipThe ultimate goal isn't to eliminate challenges, but to become someone who can operate effectively and move forward when things are hard.Links and Mentions:Business Examples:"Portillo's": "00:12:28"Books/Concepts:"Intelligent Perseverance": "00:15:12"Quotes:"Intelligent perseverance is remaining committed to the destination while being unattached to the route that gets you there.": "00:15:12"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  What if the reason why you're still struggling with the same problem in your business isn't because you're failing, but it's actually because the problem you are facing is actually worth solving? Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing over $20 million in annual revenue and doing multi-millionaires on channels such as Amazon, TikTok, shop and Shopify. And I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs. And that is E-com breakthrough. Today, I want to share with you why perseverance is one of the most important traits that you can acquire as an entrepreneur to set yourself up for success in the future.Josh Hadley 00:01:04  And the reason why I'm talking about this today is because, to be honest with you, I'm going through hard stuff in the business right now. And, you know, I always start my day with kind of a daily meditation or a devotional with God. Whenever I drop off the kids from school, I'm always turning on a podcast or an inspirational message. And today, as I was driving back home from dropping the kids off from school, a YouTube video started playing after I listened to another podcast, and it was a two minute video, and it was from Jeffrey R Holland. And it was all about why perseverance is such a vital trait that we could acquire in this life. And it touched me right to the core, and honestly kind of helped pull me out of a little funk that I've been in over the last couple days of just, you know, feeling like I'm running on this hamster wheel, trying to defeat some of the top constraints in the business, but also feeling like I'm not going anywhere at the exact same time.Josh Hadley 00:02:07  And so that's the message that I want to share with you today, because it inspired me. It reinvigorated me, and it lit that fire underneath me to help lead the business to that next step. And that's what my hope is for you today is as you listen to this, you know, wherever you are in your season of business, you will continue to face hard things. And it is through facing those hard things that you as a person, your character is going to be refined, but more importantly, you develop that grit and that perseverance that will allow you to succeed. So let's talk about what perseverance actually is. I love the definition of perseverance. Just coming straight from the dictionary, which is perseverance, is keeping a steady effort to achieve a goal even when things are hard, frustrating, or take a very long time. Let's talk about that very long time. Because in the intro I said, what if the reason why you're still facing the exact same problem today isn't because you're actually failing as an entrepreneur? Maybe it's because the problem is actually worth solving.Josh Hadley 00:03:13  And I'll tell you this much if you are selling in the e-commerce space, welcome to one of the most competitive busin...

Jason and Nitesh, the co-founders of 28 States Brewing Co. join Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell in the studio on Brew Ha Ha today. ProChiller Green will be performing a Proof of Concept test at Hanabi Lager on September 23, 2026, to demonstrate the ProGreen Chiller in a brewery. Visit ProChiller online for more info. 28 States Brewing was founded 11 months ago in San Francisco, named after the 28 states of India. Nitesh comes from home brewing and opening a brewery is a big step. They are making beer with Indian spices and even toasted basmati rice. The name is Desi Gaijin. Daedalus finds that it is subtle and balanced.  +++++Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-dated hours, menus, beers, special events and more. ++++++ Next they taste a Hefeweizen, made on an open fermenter. Nitesh explains that San Francisco has natural bacteria in the air that makes San Francisco sourdough bread special. He fermented this beer using open fermentation so he captures the same local microbes. There is a funk and a savory finish that comes from the bacteria. He will be experimenting with open and closed fermentation. It is called Haryana Weizen. Haryana is Nitesh’s native state. Weizen beer has to be 60% wheat and this is 61%. From the bar to the sales call Jason and Herlinda discover that they both were bartenders before ever working in sales. It’s a great training ground, for learning how to talk to all kinds of people. Jason met Nitesh by simply talking about beer. ******Visit our sponsor Pro Chiller online for all the info about their new CO2-based Pro Green Solutions Chiller.****** Nitesh was home brewing while working in tech. During Covid, when everyone was working at home, he started home brewing with advice from his mentor, Lester Koga of Barebottle Brewing. He started 28 States before he met Jason. Now there are so many flavors in is beer it’s amazing. He describes one called Mango Elaichi Sour flavored with Indian mangoes and cardamom. Herlinda will host a beer cruise from Basel, Switzerland down the Rhein past Strasbourg, France ending in Amsterdam. It will be in November 2027, because these trips are always planned well in advance. There will be local beer tastings all along the way. Imaging coming into port and taking a bike ride while the chefs go shopping in town for fresh bread and delicious foods that the countryside produces. There is a $1000 discount available up to September 30.
