Podcasts about Conduct

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. This time of year is fast paced as the semester wraps up and the holidays approach. In the last episode I briefly mentioned data walls, and today I am taking a deeper look at how to conduct a mid-year check-in using a data wall. While end-of-year reports are valuable, data tracking should not be reserved only for the end of the school year. Ongoing data review is essential because it helps ensure that the support you provide continues to meet the changing needs of your students. A data wall is a bulletin board that visually highlights the impact of your counseling services. It allows you to quantify student progress through tools such as self assessments and behavior surveys. This data can illustrate growth from the start to the end of your small groups and other interventions. Your data wall can also show the volume of services you have provided. This includes the number of students you have seen, the sessions you have held, and the lessons you have taught. You can gather these numbers from your logs, scheduler, or calendar. Creating a data wall strengthens your advocacy efforts, informs curriculum adjustments, and communicates the value of your program to students, families, and staff. Once your data is organized, use charts and graphs to present your findings clearly. Key reminders Keep all information anonymous to maintain confidentiality Use only the data that is most helpful Update your data wall quarterly, monthly, or by semester Place it in a high traffic area to maximize visibility This simple mid-year check-in will help you celebrate progress, identify needs, and confidently communicate the work you are doing. If you create a data wall, share it with me on Instagram. I would love to see it.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Data Wall Blog - How to Conduct a Mid-Year Check-in Using a Data Wall Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

One of the most powerful and courageous practices you can adopt is to review your year—and this is not just something for a business owner. Reviewing your year or conducting an annual review is a great way to consider what the past year has been about, what you've learned, and you can use that information to chart a path for growth.If the thought of year-end reflection leaves you feeling more anxious than inspired? Use today's podcast episode to give yourself a reset, as I dive into How to Conduct an Annual Review (That Actually Makes You Feel Alive, Not Behind)Learn how to conduct a meaningful, psychology-informed annual review that helps you reconnect with your growth, not your guilt. I'm sharing powerful questions to reflect on your year with honesty instead of judgment, identify invisible progress, release what's no longer aligned, and end with gratitude that actually feels real.This isn't a productivity audit. It's a practice in self-trust, clarity, and compassion — the foundation for setting goals that genuinely fit who you are.

1 Timothy 3:1–7 [1] This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. [2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; [3] not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; [4] one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence [5] (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); [6] not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. [7] Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Most independent artists have thousands of dollars in unclaimed royalties sitting in four separate collection systems—and a four-year window to recover this money before it's redistributed to major labels.   In this episode, I break down the systematic framework for conducting a personal royalty audit. You'll discover why being registered with ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC isn't enough, and learn about the three additional systems most artists don't know exist: SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing administration services for worldwide mechanical collection, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective for streaming platform royalties.   I'll walk you through the five-step implementation process: auditing your current registrations, gathering documentation, registering with missing systems, claiming historical royalties, and creating an ongoing management system to prevent future losses.   This framework builds on insights from music business educator Amani Roberts in Episode 339, where he reveals how artists consistently leave money on the table through incomplete registrations and missing split sheet documentation.   Topics Covered: The four registration systems required to collect all your royalties How unclaimed royalties are redistributed to major labels after four years How to verify you're registered correctly with your PRO (writer AND publisher sides) SoundExchange registration for Pandora, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM royalties Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) free registration process When publishing administration services are worth the cost Split sheet documentation as the foundation for royalty collection Metadata management across all four systems Common mistakes that cause royalties to go unclaimed Step-by-step audit process with time estimates Creating an ongoing system to prevent future unclaimed royalties   December is the perfect time for this year-end financial cleanup—start recovering money you've already earned.

Grocery workers at Santa Cruz Markets in Goleta and Santa Barbara have unanimously voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike, setting the stage for a possible walkout just days before the busy Thanksgiving holiday. Union leaders say the vote is a response to what they describe as ongoing labor violations by the company, and workers are now prepared to strike if negotiations don't resume in good faith. KCSB's Emerson Good spoke with Erik Mendez, a grocery worker and member of the UFCW union about his experiences. NOTE: Since the original interview aired on November 20th, 2025, the Santa Cruz Markets reached a tentative agreement on a contract just before the Thanksgiving holiday, avoiding the strike altogether.

Achilles Northern Zone Delivers Exceptional Grades AGC Managing Director, Glen Diemar, said, “These new results are truly exceptional and further enhance the value being delivered by consistent follow-up drilling. This intersection in A3RCD086 of 6m at 2,474g/t AgEq ranks as one of our best holes at Achilles to date. To receive these results at a time when the silver price is hitting new highs is serendipitous.” “Our aim this year was to keep the diamond drill rig in locations with potential for very high grades, and to enhance our knowledge of the geology and the structural complexity at Achilles. This strategy is paying off.” “The high-grade northern area is now shaping-up as a coherent zone that spans 150m in length and over 250m in depth. This zone remains open and assays are pending for another 11 holes within this area and we eagerly await those results.” Overview A new high-grade discovery at the Achilles Northern Zone is reshaping how we think about the district and the company exploring it. Over the past 18 months we've methodically expanded the footprint with targeted drilling and the results are delivering exceptionally high grades near surface and at depth. This is not just a single zone of interest; it is part of a long, polymetallic corridor with proven mining history and significant upside for growth. Systematic drilling has outlined a continuous panel of mineralisation roughly 7,800 metres long and currently tested to depths of 250 to 300 metres. Within that trend we have identified discrete, very high-grade pods that stand out from the background mineralisation and could materially add value if they continue to replicate along strike and at depth. "We've discovered a panel of mineralization about 7,800 metres long, currently down to about 250 to 300 metres depth."High-grade intercepts Some of the standout assays include very strong near-surface and deep intercepts. One surface interval returned: "Five metres at 19 grams gold and 50 grams silver right at surface."Deeper drilling has also hit a pronounced high-grade pocket. A recent hole (hole 86) returned a deeper multi-metre, very high-grade interval that, on a silver-equivalent basis, sits in the multiple-thousands of grams per tonne range. These concentrated pockets are exactly the kind of zones where ounces can be added quickly and economically. How this fits within the broader district The Achilles trend sits inside a long, established polymetallic district with roughly 150 years of mining history. The district runs for some 250 kilometres and is renowned for multi-commodity deposits. Being polymetallic means the project can be positioned to take advantage of whatever metal cycles are strongest—copper, silver or gold—without needing to change the fundamental geology of the asset. Recent drilling and the maiden resource Over the past six weeks a focused program of 14 holes concentrated on expanding the northern high-grade pod. While we will publish a maiden mineral resource before Christmas, several of these latest holes are likely to come in after the resource cut-off and represent upside for subsequent updates. Where this could take the company A small-cap company can transform quickly when it proves up high-grade, scalable mineralisation in a favourable district. The combination of near-surface high grades, a long mineralised corridor and a polymetallic mix supports a trajectory from smaller market capitalisation to a more substantial mid-tier exploration/development story—provided further drilling and resource definition continue to deliver. Next steps Finalise and publish the maiden mineral resource before Christmas. Continue infill and step-out drilling to convert high-grade pods into the resource and test along strike and to depth. Assess metallurgical characteristics and potential preliminary economic pathways for a polymetallic operation. Maintain district consolidation and allocate exploration capital to other nearby targets to build long-term longevity. Final note These results are encouraging and demonstrate how targeted exploration, focused on high-potential pods within a larger mineralised system, can create meaningful value. The polymetallic nature of the system provides strategic flexibility and potential leverage to different commodity cycles.

Continuing our series on the book of James, we learn from James 3:13-18 that wisdom from above is proven by our conduct. True wisdom calls for application, acting in ways that align with the fruit of righteousness. While worldly wisdom is revealed by a sinful lifestyle of envy and selfish ambition, heavenly wisdom is revealed by a godly lifestyle, which is pure, peace-loving, gentle, compliant, merciful, unwavering, sincere, and full of good fruit. This process comes about by our growth in sanctification, rooted in the grace of God.

As the Seditious Six double and triple down on their "illegal orders" rhetoric to the US military, and with two National Guard members now fighting for life, we ask: When does conduct unbecoming a US Congressperson cross the line into conduct inciting murder? Border agents reportedly are preparing to surge into Minneapolis where Somalian scammers have stolen billions from US taxpayers under the noses of democrat mayors and governors. President Trump hints that James Comey and Letitia James, whose cases were both dropped by an activist judge, will face the DOJ again.... and soon.

Cully Stimson, retired Navy Captain and Deputy Director of the Meese Legal Center, joins Hans to discuss the propaganda video by six members of Congress urging members of the military to disobey orders. Classic film review is of the World War II picture, “They Were Expendable,” the 1945 John Ford movie about a torpedo boat squadron that fought in the Battle of the Philippines against enormous odds, a film that shows the courage and sacrifice of members of our armed forces.

In this can't-miss episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois return with Part Two of their exclusive, final official interview with Michael Medline, former President & CEO of Empire/Sobeys. Medline offers unusually candid reflections on leadership, culture, vendor relationships, and the evolution of one of Canada's largest food retailers.The conversation opens with a deep dive into vendor relations and the Canadian Grocery Code of Conduct. Medline explains his early shock at the combative nature of vendor–retailer dynamics and details his personal commitment to transforming the ecosystem into one built on fairness, respect, and partnership. He reflects on how mentorship from industry leaders like Michael Graydon and collaboration with executives such as Mark Taylor helped advance the Code from concept to reality — ultimately becoming one of the proudest achievements of his tenure.Medline also shares rare behind-the-scenes reflections on working with the Sobey family, leading through disruption, and preparing the company for the next era of food retail. From AI-driven transformation to the duty of stewarding an organization with 129,000 teammates, he speaks openly about responsibility, succession, and what comes next in his career. His insights offer a masterclass in modern leadership during one of the most transformative decades in grocery retail.The episode also features a rich and timely news segment. Michael and Sylvain break down Health Canada's pause on cloned beef and swine approvals, a fast-moving story with major implications for transparency, labeling, science communication, and cross-border food integration. They examine why Canada's decision diverges from the U.S., where cloned-animal offspring have been permitted for nearly two decades — often without consumer awareness.The hosts then analyze the newest edition of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index, highlighting renewed concerns about food inflation, declining trust in grocers, shifting loyalty behaviours, and the end of Canada's “couponing era.” They explore evolving consumer habits, smarter comparison shopping, and the influence of younger digital-first generations.Other key topics include:• The Lancet's callout of ultra-processed foods — and why Sylvain believes the academic narrative is oversimplified.• The rapid rise of GLP-1 drugs and their early impact on grocery and foodservice behaviour.• Nutrien's reported decision to build a major potash terminal in Washington State rather than Canada.• The tangled story behind beef prices and the federal policies that may be limiting supply.• A big win for Canadian agriculture as GoodLeaf Farms raises $52 million to expand capacity and boost controlled-environment production. Go Here for the The Canadian Food Sentiment Index, Volume 2, no. 1  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

A Question of Ethics: A Conversation on Courts and EthicsNovember 20th, 2025Across America, many communities are in what scholars call “legal deserts,” areas with few, if any, available attorneys to meet the legal needs of local citizens. Rural towns and poorurban neighborhoods often lack affordable access to lawyers, leaving residents without practical guidance for solving their legal problems. This shortage frustrates individuals seeking justice, and undermines confidence in the justice system itself.  It widens the gap between those who can afford representation and those who cannot. To help bridge this gap, a few states (for example, Utah, Alaska, and now Oregon), are experimenting with using non-attorney legal advocates. These are trained professionals, often known as Community Justice Workers, who work under the guidance of a practicing attorney. Others, in Arizona for example, are called Certified Community Legal Advocates. They are untethered from a practicing lawyer. These non-attorney advocates can assist people in certain specific legal areas including:·        family law·        landlord-tenant disputes·        employment issues·        government benefits·        domestic violence, or·        debt collection defense. These advocates work within the limitations prohibiting non-lawyers from offering what is defined as “legal advice,” a boundary carefully guarded by the laws governing the unauthorized practice of law. This prohibition is also codifiedin NACM's Model Code of Conduct for Court Professionals. Canon 1.7 states, “A court professional is responsive to inquiries regarding standard court procedures but does not give legal advice unless required as part of one's official position.”While these restrictions safeguard the public from unqualified guidance, they also constrain non-lawyers from fully helping individuals through complex legal processes. These restrictions raise difficult questions about the balance between consumer protection and access to justice. In this episode we are talking about communities that are “legal deserts,” where residents lack access to affordable legal help. Some states are experimenting with non-attorney legal advocates to bridge this gap.

On today's episode I'm sharing whether or not I hit my profit goals for October and what I'm projecting for November. Conduct your own monthly profit reports with my free template at notavglaw.com/profitreport October was a bit of transition month. It's the start of our 6ish month busy season, but we didn't have any formal launches. We launched Unf*ck Your Biz® in September and will be wrapping up working with those folks this week. October ended up being a big month for trademarks as you can see. We also booked a VIP Day client and some other one-off consultations. Here's a summary of the projections versus actual revenue numbers: • Contract Club: $2,000 → $2,550• Unf*ck Your Biz $0 → $350• Unf*cked: $2,000 → $2,000• Compliance Club $700 → $700• Monthly Clients: $4,500 → $4,600• Trademarks $8,000 → $13,000• Other: $1,000 → $4,800Total: $18,200 → $28,200

In Round 97 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, You need to have goals. Every mission starts with a plan, and transition is no different. For military veterans and first responders, life after service can feel unpredictable, but the key to staying grounded is treating your future like an evolving mission plan. This episode breaks down how to turn your next chapter into a personal roadmap built on direction, discipline, and purpose.When you leave the military, police, fire service, or EMS, the loss of a defined mission can feel like losing part of your identity. That's why having goals must become your next operational focus. This episode teaches how to build, execute, and revise your personal strategy for the life ahead. Whether you're days away from separation or a decade from retirement, learning to plan with purpose transforms your transition from uncertain to unstoppable.In this episode, we focus on all three transition groups:• Close Range Group (those transitioning immediately to a year out): Transition is Just a waypoint. By setting goals that extend beyond the day you leave service, you avoid the emotional crash that often follows separation. This section explains how to transform your transition into the launch point for your next mission.• Medium Range Group (those transitioning in roughly five years): Conduct a Quarterly Goal Audit every 90 days. This structured rhythm of stopping what no longer works, starting what moves you forward, and continuing what builds momentum keeps your progress aligned. The episode outlines how veterans and first responders can use this system to stay adaptable and disciplined through the middle years of service.• Long Range Group (those ten years or more from transition): Identify Flex-Point Indicators that trigger strategic re-planning. These measurable data points, such as missed promotions or lifestyle changes, ensure you never become attached to outdated goals. We explain how using five-year increments creates a resilient and forward-thinking career blueprint.Transition isn't the end of your mission; it's the evolution of it. Having a goals with a plan ensures that your next chapter carries the same purpose, structure, and focus that made you effective in uniform.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

Last week, I talked about getting stakeholders actively involved in UX activities like research sessions and workshops. That engagement is brilliant for building empathy and support, but it only takes you so far if everyone retreats back to their own departmental bubble afterward.This week, I want to focus on something that will amplify all that good work: breaking down the silos that keep teams isolated from one another.Why silos are killing your UX effortsIn most organizations, different teams work in their own little worlds. Developers, marketers, product owners, business analysts; they all contribute to and impact the user experience, but they rarely talk to each other beyond handoffs and status updates.This creates two problems for you as a UX leader.First, it causes friction in the user experience itself. When users move from one part of your product or service to another, they're effectively moving between teams. If those teams don't collaborate, users literally fall between the gaps.I've seen this happen over and over. The sales team promises one thing, but another department doesn't deliver it. Or a customer goes through a complaints process and gets a resolution, but that information never reaches finance, who keeps invoicing them anyway. Users get caught in the crossfire of departments that aren't talking to each other.These breakdowns aren't just annoying. They damage trust, create support overhead, and drive customers away. And from a UX perspective, you can have the most beautiful interface in the world, but if the experience breaks down because departments aren't aligned, none of that matters.The second area is much simpler. Your ability to change the culture will be limited by which teams you can access and influence. If you're stuck in one silo, your impact stays trapped there too.The benefits of breaking outWhen you start collaborating across departmental lines, good things happen.You plug the gaps in the user experience. When teams work together, you can identify and fix those places where users fall through the cracks. Sales and delivery get aligned. Support issues get fed back to the teams who can fix them. Information flows across departmental boundaries instead of stopping at them.You gain better business insights. You'll understand how UX affects different parts of the organization and what motivates other teams. That knowledge helps you frame UX in ways that matter to them.You build cross-departmental UX advocacy. When other teams see how UX helps them achieve their goals, they become advocates. That momentum spreads much faster than anything you could do alone.You increase your team's influence. As you collaborate and demonstrate value, you become essential to strategy and decision-making across departments, not just within your own corner.You streamline processes. Collaboration helps you integrate UX into different workflows and ensure those processes work better together. You deliver results faster and remove false assumptions people have about UX being slow or impractical.Which teams to prioritizeYou can't be everywhere at once, especially early on. Focus your energy on four groups that will give you the biggest return.Sales and marketing feel the impact of poor user experience most directly. If you help them improve conversion rates, average order values, or lead quality, you'll be improving the metrics that senior management actually cares about. Everyone wants to make more money, and this is your most direct path to those conversations.Customer support cares deeply about retention. It's much more expensive to win a new customer than keep an existing one, so reducing churn matters. Work with support to identify where UX improvements can reduce complaints and improve retention. They're usually quite receptive because better UX makes their job easier.Development has a huge impact on user experience through performance, security, and technical implementation. They're often frustrated by bottlenecks from design teams, so working with them improves the relationship and streamlines handoffs. You can also empower developers to handle some of the more routine UX work themselves.Business analysts (if your organization has them) evaluate potential projects and opportunities. They understand the importance of user acceptance, but they often don't feel equipped to assess it. If you can help them evaluate projects from a user perspective, you become invaluable to their process.How to start breaking down wallsLook, let me breakdown in what has worked for me.Conduct stakeholder interviews. Book casual chats with representatives from these departments. Ask about their challenges and explore ways your team can support them. This shows genuine interest and positions you as someone looking to help, not looking for help. That's powerful.Offer resources. Provide tools, time, and advice to help them overcome challenges. Give before you ask. It builds trust much faster than any formal presentation ever will.Run exchange programs. Suggest shadowing each other for a day or swapping team members for a week. Yes, it's an investment, but understanding each other's roles transforms how you work together.Collaborate on standards. When you're setting standards for accessibility, content, or research methods, engage other departments in creating them. They'll have valuable input, the standards will work better for everyone, and people are much more likely to follow standards they helped create.Prototype together. Get different people in a room (a developer, a marketer, you) and just create something collaboratively. Free from normal constraints, working toward a shared vision. It's rewarding and it breaks down barriers fast.One more tipIf you possibly can, suggest that your UX team becomes its own center of excellence, independent from any existing business silo. It eliminates the perception that you're only responsible for one area and recognizes that user experience affects every part of the organization.It's not always possible, and if it isn't, don't worry. But it's worth raising the conversation.Next weekSo far in this series, I've focused on building relationships and demonstrating value internally. But sometimes the most powerful way to build credibility inside your organization is to bring in validation from outside.Next week, I'll talk about using external benchmarking, industry recognition, and expert voices to reinforce your position and give your recommendations extra weight. It's a tactic I've used more times than I can count, and it works remarkably well.

The All Local 4pm Update for Wednesday, November 12th 2025

Got a question? Let us know!This week on Made For Mondays, Heather, Jamey, Joe, and Tyler keep the conversation rolling in our Get Ready series with a powerful look at 1 Thessalonians 5 — and some deep listener questions you won't want to miss.As we celebrate Veterans Day, the crew kicks off with a couple of big “What the What?!” questions from our inbox — including how to handle Christian content creators who mix faith and politics, and what it really means that Jesus is both God and the Son of God. Jamey helps untangle these with biblical wisdom and clarity.Then in the Sunday Dish, Tyler unpacks the message Live Like Him Now and reminds us that knowing how it ends should shape how we live today. The group talks about encouraging others, loving differently in a culture that celebrates retaliation, and what it means to keep the Holy Spirit's fire alive in our lives.

Send us a text In this episode, we discuss the importance of Christian character and conduct after salvation. We try to emphasize that our character is the condition of our heart, while our conduct is the outward expression of it. God works within believers to develop these traits, while prayer shapes our character and conduct. We stress the need for all believers to live holy lives, follow Christ's example, and be obedient to God's guidance.

Episode 110 features Isaac Kardon, Senior Fellow for China Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "China's Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order." Kardon joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to discuss how China uses domestic law, coast guard operations, and strategic ambiguity to reshape international maritime norms - especially in the South and East China Seas and the Yellow Sea.China's Approach to Maritime Law: Kardon explains that China's participation in international treaties, such as UNCLOS, differs fundamentally from rule-of-law societies like the U.S. Rather than constraining itself, China uses treaties as instruments for political and strategic advantage, showing significant flexibility in interpretation and enforcement.Global Impact of Indo-Pacific Maritime Order: The Indo-Pacific isn't just a regional issue - what happens there affects global trade, technology supply chains, and the daily lives of people worldwide. The COVID pandemic and events like the Ever Given incident in the Suez Canal reveal the fragility of maritime order, making disruptions to the global order dangerous for prosperity and peace.Frictions in the South China Sea: China's ratification of UNCLOS presented challenges, notably the framework that limits China's ability to claim “historic” zones like the “nine-dash line.” Despite arbitration rulings against Chinese claims, China responds in ways that undermine the effectiveness of international mechanisms, often using ambiguous claims and building capacity to assert control regardless of legal setbacks.Law, Power, and Regional Responses: The episode highlights the contrast between the legalistic approaches of “cricket-playing nations” and China's more instrumental use of law. Small states in the region rely on legal frameworks for protection, but China's power allows it to bend or contest those rules.Recent Developments: China has expanded its exclusion zone around Scarborough Shoal and used environmental pretext to assert control, demonstrating a pattern of using lawfare as a tool for broader strategic objectives.Future Directions: The discussion covers the gridlock over the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct process, the decline of sentimentality about U.S. leadership in maritime law, and the general skepticism about international law's ability to constrain powerful states. The hosts discuss the potential for the Indo-Pacific maritime disputes to become the setting for geopolitical drama, involving all facets from local fishermen and coast guards to great power competition.Kardon argues that China's lawfare bolsters its capabilities: strength and presence on the water matter just as much, if not more, than legal arguments. He describes the situation as “possession is nine-tenths of the law”—a reality that smaller states cannot match with mere legal claims.Policy Takeaways: International law matters less when powerful states refuse to be constrained. China's approach threatens regional cooperation and legal consistency.The episode calls for listeners to recognize how Indo-Pacific maritime order shapes global stability, trade, and strategic realities - and provides both practical insights and a thought-provoking narrative, encouraging listeners to see Indo-Pacific maritime disputes not just as legal questions but as complex dramas involving power, law, and the future of global cooperation.

In breaking news, a fed up Federal Judge Ellis issued from the bench a 90 minute preliminary injunction ruling against Trump's shock forces being used in Chicago to menace and attack members of the press, clergy, veterans and first amendment protestors of Trump's immigration policy, and found that the chief of the operation for trump Greg Bovino, lied under oath about the need to fire tear gas at protestors. Michael Popok reports on Judge Ellis leading off the hearing by reading in full Carl Sandberg's famous poem “Chicago” and lending it with John Adams plea to save liberty.

You know what's worse than making a bad hire? Making a bad hire… and then wasting weeks of your life obsessing over it instead of moving on. That's like tripping on a rock and then deciding to camp there forever. Welcome, Pivoter! Today, April tackles one of the most expensive, frustrating, and inevitable parts of running a business — bad hires. If you've been in business long enough, you've made one. We all have. The financial loss hurts, but what's even more costly is how long we stay stuck — replaying the mistake instead of moving on to our next right decision. In this episode, April shares her own hiring horror story, client examples, and practical strategies for how to do the emotional autopsy, learn the lesson fast, and move forward faster. Because the truth is: the real failure isn't hiring the wrong person — it's letting that one bad hire rob you of time, energy, and your next opportunity. Key Takeaways Bad hires are inevitable — but obsession is optional. The true cost isn't the mistake; it's the dwelling on the mistake. Learn fast, move on faster. Do your post-mortem, own your role, and pivot. Don't stay emotionally stuck. Hiring = dating. If you keep dragging the baggage from your last bad hire into your next interview, you'll poison your chances of finding the right fit. A-Players want clarity. Most hiring fails come from unclear expectations and poor accountability, not bad intentions. Conduct a "Bad Hire Autopsy." Ask three questions: What did they do wrong? What did I do wrong? What will we do differently next time? Emotional Autopsy matters. Feel it. Yell. Run. Vent. Then move on. The longer you obsess, the more power you give away. Quotes "You are walking around like some jilted lover. How long are you going to let a bad decision affect your next right decision?" "A bad hire costs you 15x their salary — not just in money, but in time, energy, and momentum." "Bad hires happen. It sucks. But the real mistake isn't hiring the wrong person — it's staying stuck there." Actionable Items Do the Bad Hire Autopsy: What went wrong? What was your part? What will change next time? Release the Baggage: Take a day to feel frustrated, then let it go. Don't bring "Samson" or "Sarah" into your next hiring conversation. Clarify A-Player Standards: Write a scorecard before hiring again — what does success look like in 90 days? Set Milestones & Accountability: Don't just yell "Run!" and forget to point which direction. A-players thrive on clear expectations. Don't Retreat Into "I'll Just Do It Myself." That's burnout disguised as control. Learn, pivot, and hire again. Hiring mistakes happen to every entrepreneur. The best leaders don't pretend otherwise — they just move on faster. "You don't have to be perfect to build a great team — you just have to stop camping at the scene of the last bad hire."

Episode 4900: New Evidence Shows James Comey Used Private Emails To Conduct FBI Matters

Eric chats with Libby Delucian and they discuss her remarkable journey from hitting rock bottom after a separation—being locked out of her house with nothing—to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the home service and software industries. She details how she leveraged her experience and skills to launch an organizing and cleaning company which quickly grew, leading to the creation of three separate software solutions for the industry. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on business philosophy, including the importance of a strong "why," leadership strategies, such as family quarterly meetings to prevent burnout, and innovative ideas like a tipping and Google review incentive system for her employees. The interview also touches on her experiences with mentors, notably Jonathan Potoschnik and Dan Martell, and her upcoming role as a speaker at Martell's event. Key Takeaways: View your business as a vehicle for a larger personal goal, keeping your self-worth separate from its daily performance. Find a powerful reason or "Why" for your actions that is strong enough to motivate you daily and make all excuses disappear. When starting fresh, use your past experiences and existing skills, such as being organized or structured, to accelerate your progress. Conduct regular family meetings to align on personal vision and schedule time off, ensuring you commit to these priorities before setting business demands. Recognize that intense learning and rapid execution are distinct seasons, and sometimes you must slow down the learning to accelerate execution.
