Have you ever felt a presence you couldn't explain? That quiet knowing that someone you loved was near, even when nothing about it made logical sense? My guest is Courtney Dawson, an evidential psychic medium who has been seeing spirit since she was a toddler, and spending most of her life terrified of it.  She grew up in a devout Christian home where what she was experiencing had no language, no permission, and no safe place to land. That fear became anxiety that stayed with her for decades, until the moment everything cracked open. We get into evidential mediumship, what it actually looks and feels like to receive messages from the other side, and how her dad, who never fully came to terms with her abilities while he was alive, showed up clairaudiently within hours of passing.  He told her about his new shoes for the journey and something else that would take your breath away… Stay with us to the close.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

Healthcare is filled with great ideas, promising technologies, and passionate clinicians, but why do so many innovation efforts fail? In this episode, Dale Ellicott joins Dr. Andrea Austin to explore what it really takes to create sustainable change in healthcare. From his early experiences introducing groundbreaking rehabilitation technologies to his current work at Rely Health, Dale shares lessons about resistance to change, organizational alignment, and the importance of putting patients first. Together, they discuss the realities of value-based care, the challenges clinicians face when navigating fragmented healthcare systems, and the growing role of AI in supporting, not replacing human connection. Dale explains how Rely Health combines agentic AI with human care navigators to help patients schedule appointments, access transportation, connect with primary care, and overcome barriers that often lead to poor outcomes and avoidable readmissions. The conversation offers practical guidance for clinicians, leaders, and innovators who want to move beyond pilot programs and build solutions that truly improve healthcare delivery. They discussed: How a values-based decision shaped Dale's career in healthcare innovation Why healthcare organizations struggle to adopt new technology The dangers of "pilotitis" and failed innovation projects How AI-powered care navigation improves patient follow-up Lessons for clinicians who want to become successful change-makers

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood from the Early Childhood Christian Network, host Monica Healer welcomes Brock Eastman (aka Dr. Phineas Einstein Fizzlebop), an award-winning author, Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr. contributor, and dad of four, to discuss why connecting science and faith matters for young children. Brock shares how Dr. Fizzlebop began as a Clubhouse Jr. science column and grew into videos, a 52-week family devotional (Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop), and Super Simple Science board books covering basics like colors, counting, alphabets, weather, and space. They talk about planting early "memory seeds" that help children integrate faith with everyday learning, the importance of parent-child reading and shared experiences amid modern distractions, and the power of saying "I don't know—let's look it up." Brock demonstrates simple experiments—baking soda and vinegar balloon inflation, "cluck from a cup" amplification, and a straw rocket launch—each paired with a faith connection, and he also mentions his middle grade series Parable Port where Jesus' parables come to life.   00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 02:29 Brock Science Origins 04:57 Dr Fizzlebop Resources 31:05 Why Moments Matter 36:51 Curiosity Builds Trust 39:37 Fizz Inflator Experiment 48:34 Cluck From a Cup 53:57 Rocket Launch and Sendoff Connect with Brock Eastman (aka Dr. Fizzlebop) on his website - https://www.brockeastman.com/dr-fizzlebop.html or on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@fizzlebop or on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fizzleboplabs/ Find all of his picture and board-books here - https://www.brockeastman.com/picture--board-books.html Fun experiment for Father's Day! - https://www.brockeastman.com/fizzlebop-lab-updates/fathers-day-fizztastic-experiment-water-balloon-strength-test Our Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ECCN-Admin/podcasts

We have reached the end of our Exodus series! Chapter 40 concludes with the glory of the Lord filling the tabernacle, marking the completion of the structure, but not the end of the journey. The Israelites are not yet in the Promised Land. So why is this 40-chapter story so central to the biblical narrative? Because Exodus is not just background history—it is a legally binding testimony that points directly to the coming of a greater Messiah.Key Points1. A Testimony to the FutureHebrews 3:5 states that Moses was faithful as a servant, bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. The Greek word used here for servant (therapon) implies an intimate, trusted servant whose testimony carries legal weight. Moses is a credible witness establishing the criteria for the Messiah. Anyone claiming to be the Messiah must be greater than Moses.2. Jesus is the Greater IntercessorMoses: Interceded for the Israelites on a hill to win a physical battle against the Amalekites. His hands were held up by his friends (Exodus 17).Jesus: Interceded on the hill of Calvary to win the eternal war against sin and death. His hands were held up by nails—and by the joy set before Him.3. Jesus is the Greater Deliverer & SacrificeMoses: Delivered the Israelites physically from Egypt, but he could not lead them all the way into the Promised Land. The Old Covenant required sacrifices to be made over and over again, like weed killer that only offers temporary relief.Jesus: Shared in our humanity to break the power of death and deliver us spiritually (Hebrews 2:14). As our High Priest, He offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, and then He sat down—because the work was finished (Hebrews 10:11-12). Note: Joshua (Yeshua), whose name points to Jesus, was the one who ultimately led the people into the Promised Land.4. Jesus is the Greater TabernacleMoses: Built the physical tabernacle where God's presence dwelled, but the people were kept out by a thick curtain and the barrier of sin.Jesus: The Word became flesh and "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14). When Jesus died on the cross, the physical curtain in the temple was torn in two. Now, through the blood of Jesus, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place. Better yet, through the Holy Spirit, believers have become living tabernacles.5. The Warning: Guard Against a Hard HeartThe Israelites saw the Red Sea part and manna fall from the sky, yet their hearts grew hard and they built a golden calf. Signs and wonders cannot replace an intimate relationship with God. Hebrews warns us not to harden our hearts as they did, but to encourage one another daily. We guard against a hard heart through personal devotion and active participation in a faith community.ConclusionWhen Moses asked God, "Show me your glory," God tucked him in a rock and only allowed him to see His back. Moses did not get exactly what he asked for in that moment, nor did he get to enter the Promised Land in his lifetime. However, God does not forget our prayers. Centuries later, on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17), Moses finally stands in the Promised Land, face-to-face with Jesus, whose face shone like the sun. Moses finally saw the full glory of God. God is worth the wait.Calls to ActionExamine Your Heart: Are there areas where your heart has grown hard or calloused toward God?Speak it Out: If you are struggling with unbelief or a hard heart, confess it to someone in your faith community this week to break its power.Trust the Delay: If you have been waiting a long time for a prayer to be answered, look to Moses. Trust that God's timing is perfect and His glory is worth the wait. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

Most of us have heard the phrase, “the proof is in the pudding.” That’s a shortened version of the original phrase, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” We use the phrase when we want to express that the goodness or quality of something must be judged by experiencing it or seeing results from it. At its core, the phrase is about integrity: what’s inside shows up outside. This goes for us as well. What’s inside us will come out eventually. In today’s session, God’s Word is going to challenge us to love God and love others-and to do it well. How can we know how well we are doing? If we apply the phrase, “the proof is in the pudding,” we’ll realize that our love for God is inextricably connected with the way we love others. In other words, if we truly love God, that love for Him will overflow in our relationships with other people. Love for God and love for people aren’t at odds and can’t be pitted against one another. Our love for God is proven by our love for people.” Love for God and love for people aren’t at odds and can’t be pitted against one another. Jesus’s parable shows it plainly: our love for God is proven by our love for people. Love without action is not love. Action without salvation from Christ is not the gospel lived out.

It was just after 2 am. Over 200 people were enjoying the freedom that Pulse, an LGBTQ nightclub, offered. They were dancing. Connecting. Singing. Embracing the beauty of being alive and being understood. But in an instant, the night changed entirely. Within just a few minutes, dozens would be dead. And over the next few hours, those who did survive would be forced to fight for their lives as they were held captive by a shooter. In part 2 of our 4-part series, we will take you minute by minute through the shooting – looking at every victim, and countless survivors, as they tried to make it through the endless night.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica Instagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen Feeling spooky?

At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn, joins Sean Martin to reframe where secure storage fits in the security conversation. After roughly four decades building hardware-encrypted drives, Apricorn wants the market to treat storage as a security decision rather than a hardware afterthought. How does a storage device become a security control? Toma points to the device itself: no one reaches the data without the code. Access requires a PIN entered on the drive, and the encrypted vault stays closed to everyone else. The protection travels with the drive and does not depend on the host system. Apricorn builds to FIPS certification requirements, hardens against environmental stress down to the connector, and tests repeatedly so compliance arrives built in. Why does this matter at the macro scale?

“It was always in a weird way, I wouldn’t say triggering, but I just didn’t like it. And then by the end, I really did love it. It just felt really heartwarming when different people in the Process, even still, since we all – a lot of us still keep in touch, and they call me Bubba, it makes me smile.” – Julie Shapiro Hoffman grad, Julie Shapiro, found herself at a crossroads. She knew what she wanted to change in herself. Yet, she also felt unable to make that change. There’s change we can make through our choices, and then there’s change that must come from deeper within. The Hoffman Process works in this deeper place within us through the Cycle of Transformation. This is the place where the “magic” of the Process happens. Julie’s story is one of courage, desire, and willingness. She came to the Process with profound scepticism. But she also came with a willingness to fully enter into the Process to allow change to happen within her, even though she couldn’t understand how it would happen. In moments of silence in nature, time with a Buddha, and places where Julie knew she had to go deeper, the “magic” of transformation happened. She gained new insights and saw a deeply rooted pattern. In one moment that allowed her Process to go deeper, Julie realized she had to use the childhood nickname her father had given her on her name tag rather than her given name. She knew that, even though her nickname, Bubba, triggered her, using it would be important. And it turned out to be. As Julie shares, using Bubba “was the real way to connect with my childhood, connect with my parent relationship, work through some things that I may not have had the opportunity to do before he died, and just really connect with him.“ Connecting with her childhood unlocked something deeper within. Hearing fellow students call her Bubba began to bring her joy. Beautiful, ineffable things can happen when you surrender to the Process, as Julie did. We hope you enjoy this heartfelt conversation with Julie and Sadie. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Julie Shapiro: Have you ever known exactly what you wanted to change about yourself — but felt unable actually to make the change? It was at that crossroads that Julie Shapiro signed up for the Hoffman Process. At 42, she felt that certain milestones, like marriage and starting a family, were out of reach. A lifelong New Yorker, she'd recently moved to Los Angeles and unexpectedly lost her dad within weeks of moving. A Stanford graduate, she set impossibly high standards for herself, both personally and professionally. Little Bubba Julie had spent years in therapy, taken meditation courses, and tried other modalities to reduce anxiety. She was self-aware and could name her patterns. But awareness alone wasn't moving the needle to evoke the changes she wanted. The Hoffman Process was not something she ever would have considered. She expected it to be “woo woo” and couldn't imagine that a one-week retreat had any long-term benefits. But despite her skepticism, she attended the Process in 2024, hoping it might unlock something within her. The Process did just that. Through the Cycle of Transformation, Julie was able to move beyond her lawyer-trained intellect and tap into her emotional and spiritual selves. She discovered a deeply rooted pattern of living in survival mode — pushing through things that made her unhappy just to achieve the end goal. As the Process week unfolded, she began to believe that a spirit-led life, focused on “being” rather than “having,” was not only possible, but available to her. One year later, in 2025, Julie returned for the Q2 graduate program to deepen her Hoffman toolkit. She is actively reorienting her life around who and what truly light her up — and redefining achievement along the way, from her tangible accomplishments to the person she is becoming.

The Crossword Hoffman Terminology and Tools: Awareness Hell: In the Hoffman Process, when we're in awareness hell, we know we are aware of our patterns and the things we do that we wish we didn't, but we are still unable to change. We understand, but feel stuck in this place of hell, even though our awareness keeps expanding.  To get out of awareness hell, our work to grow and transform must include three additional steps for change to take place. These three steps are Expression, Compassion, and New Ways of Being. All four make up the Cycle of Transformation. The Cycle of Transformation: The four steps in the cycle are Awareness, Expression, Compassion, and New Ways of Being. All four make up the Cycle of Transformation.               Be-Do-Have vs. Do-Have-Be: The life we long for comes from Be-Do-Have; the life we are taught we should strive for comes from Do-Have-Be. Recycling/pre-cycling is a tool and a practice for receiving wisdom from your own Spiritual Self, which gives you qualities that lead you directly to new behavior, authenticity, and the freedom to respond rather than react to patterns. You replace a pattern with an authentic quality of your Spiritual Self and embody that quality. You create new behavior from this embodiment. When recycling, you use a scene from your recent past when you acted out the pattern. In pre-cycling, you use an imagined scene when you act out the pattern at some point in the future. Your Spiritual Self ultimately guides you on how to BE so that you DO what supports your being and HAVE what you need to support your living. Read about Dark Side work in the Hoffman Q2.

SNF Fraud or Perverse Incentives? Hunterbrook Investigates Understaffing, Self-Reported STAR Ratings, and Medicare Dollars at Skilled Nursing Facilities Is it fraud — or is it just a perverse incentive? That question sits at the center of Hunterbrook Media's latest investigation into skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and the answer, as Stacey Richter puts it, matters to self-insured employers and anyone else paying for healthcare. In this episode, Stacey speaks with Michelle Cera, PhD, investigative reporter at Hunterbrook Media, whose investigation — triggered by a tip from an overwhelmed elder abuse attorney — uncovered a pattern of systematic understaffing, self-reported CMS STAR rating manipulation, executive bonuses tied to expense-cutting, and related-party financial engineering that funnels Medicare and Medicaid dollars straight back to corporate, while the most vulnerable patients pay with their health and their lives. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ How for-profit SNF chains systematically recruit the sickest patients to maximize Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, then staff below what those patients actually need — keeping the difference as profit and, in some cases, doubling executive bonuses in a single year ✅ How Hunterbrook analyzed millions of publicly available CMS data points across roughly 14,000 skilled nursing facilities, applying a UCSF-developed expected-hours formula tied to patient acuity, to quantify the gap between staffing hours billed and care hours actually provided ✅ Why CMS STAR ratings — the primary tool consumers use to choose nursing homes for loved ones — are largely informed by self-reported, unaudited facility data, and how former employees described manipulation of those ratings as rampant ✅ How related-party transactions allow SNF chains to route Medicare and Medicaid dollars through owned subsidiaries for goods and services like pharmacy, equipment, and insurance — with CMS flagging the overcharges as disallowed costs but lacking any mechanism to recoup them ✅ How a 2024 CMS final rule establishing a federal minimum of 3.48 HPRD (hours per resident day) and a 24/7 on-site registered nurse requirement was ultimately rescinded after industry lobbying — and what that rescission reveals about regulatory capture in the SNF sector ✅ Four concrete policy fixes: codify federal minimum staffing hours adjusted for patient acuity, strengthen reporting standards and auditing so no quality metric is entirely self-reported, create a recoupment mechanism for flagged related-party overcharges, and reform STAR ratings so consumers can distinguish independently verified data from self-reported data WHY THIS MATTERS Right now, Stacey argues, we are endlessly trying to keep up with thousands of profit-extracting geniuses and creating mazes of complexity to regulate actors who have no societal construct keeping them in check. The SNF sector is a case study in what happens when there is no agreed-upon definition of harm — when perverse incentives are just incentives. These are taxpayer, employer, and patient co-insurance dollars potentially going into someone's pocket while a patient is simultaneously being hurt. The 65-plus population is growing, the market is expanding, and — as Hunterbrook's research shows — the model that works from a profit perspective is to take sicker patients, cut the highest-paid staff first, and grade your own homework so no one notices. That playbook, once proven, spreads fast. === LINKS ===

That's where Brenda is in today's episode — alcohol-free, feeling like herself again, and quietly afraid to believe it will last. In the second session, Emma has spent five years in a cycle she can't seem to break, and she finally gets a look at what's really underneath it. Two coaches, two guests, two conversations that go to some genuinely surprising places.  Brenda discusses: Why her alcohol freedom has felt "too easy" — and what that fear is really about How knowledge and science shifted her desire, not just her behavior The one-year and five-year visualization exercise that changed everything Reframing past "failures" as data points that guided her to exactly where she is Building self-trust day by day through The Path community And more… Emma discusses: Her five-year cycle of months alcohol-free followed by weeks drinking again Why alcohol gave her permission to feel emotions she couldn't access otherwise Connecting with an emotional armor that formed in childhood to protect her An IFS-style coaching exercise to meet the "bouncer at the gate" with curiosity The moment her armor responded: "I've been so lonely" And more… Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

Emergency department performance is often shaped long before a patient is admitted, or discharged. This episode features a presentation from the recently held ROI-Centered Care Summit, a half-day virtual summit produced by Bright Spots Ventures in partnership with TytoCare and the American Telemedicine Association (ATA). In this episode, Robert Sumter, PhD, FACHE, EVP / Market Chief Operating Officer at Ascension Illinois, shares how his team redesigned the emergency department front door to improve patient flow, reduce waiting, and strengthen both operational and financial performance.  Rather than treating ED congestion as a staffing problem alone, Ascension focused on redesigning throughput across the full process: front-end intake, middle-care treatment, and back-end disposition and transition. The goal was not simply to move faster, but to build a more coordinated operating model that improves access, creates capacity, and supports a better experience for patients and staff alike.  You'll hear how Ascension Illinois: Uses a "pull to full" model to reduce waiting room congestion by moving patients directly into treatment areas  Combines triage nurse and provider teamwork to accelerate assessment and initiate care earlier  Deploys discharge nurses to free up clinical staff, improve transitions, and arrange PCP follow-up Uses standing order sets, bi-hourly huddles, and dedicated patient transport to reduce bottlenecks and keep patients moving  Focuses on "heads in the bed" to move admitted patients to assigned beds in under 30 minutes and preserve ED capacity  Key topics covered: Why ED throughput is about more than speed The emergency department as the true front door of the health system Reducing overcrowding, LWOT/AMA, and staff burnout through workflow redesign Connecting patient flow to consumer satisfaction and financial sustainability Building operational discipline without compromising quality of care Ascension reported an average door-to-doc time of 4 minutes and median outpatient throughput under 145 minutes, alongside a broader focus on improving patient experience, reducing overcrowding, stabilizing staffing, and increasing capacity without simply expanding footprint.  If you're a hospital operations leader, ED executive, or health system decision-maker working to improve access, throughput, and sustainability, this episode offers a practical look at what it takes to redesign the front door of care in a way that actually performs.

About Bright Spots Ventures: Bright Spots Ventures exists to help healthcare organizations accelerate the adoption of what's actually working.   Healthcare does not suffer from a lack of innovation. It suffers from slow adoption, fragmented learning, and limited trust between stakeholders. For example, one health plan or provider may solve a major operational or clinical challenge while others spend the next 5–10 years rediscovering the same answer.   We close that gap by creating trusted environments where health plans, providers, and innovators can share practical strategies, operational lessons, and scalable models that drive measurable improvement.   Through the Bright Spots in Healthcare podcast, leadership councils, executive roundtables, curated events, and strategic advisory work, we help organizations build credibility, strengthen strategic relationships, and accelerate the spread of proven ideas across healthcare.

On this episode of HALO Talks, we welcome Nick Ovenden of GreatLIFE, an organization that has redefined community recreation in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. What began as a sort of "accidental" golf course acquisition has evolved into a network of six golf courses, 19 fitness centers, and a bowling alley, serving over 40,000 members within a 90-mile radius. Nick joins us to discuss the unique business model that blends fitness, golf, and family activities under one membership, fostering inclusivity and long-term member engagement. Pete and Nick also dive into how their employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is shaping company culture and succession planning, the impact of combining recreational offerings on attrition, and GreatLIFE'S commitment to building community through partnerships and transparency.  When it comes to the recovery trends that were brought up in discussion, Nick states, "If you have not gotten on the workout recovery train yet, your time and your stop is now. You got to get these products in there before these workout recovery and spas end up saturating your market." Key themes discussed Combining golf, fitness, and bowling for family experiences Membership structure: simplicity and inclusivity Community partnerships and local business integration Reducing attrition through varied activity options Transparency in financials and business education Board-driven decision-making post-ESOP transition A Few Key Takeaways 1.Unique Multi-Activity Membership Model: GreatLIFE combines golf courses, fitness centers, and a bowling alley under a single membership structure. Members can choose between single, couple, or family plans and select either a Fitness Plus or Golf and Fitness Plus membership, aiming to keep things simple and all-encompassing. This approach fosters a stronger sense of community and encourages member retention by offering a broad range of activities for various interests and life stages. 2. Intentional Face-to-Face Member Onboarding: The organization has deliberately chosen not to use online sign-ups. Instead, all memberships are started in person to ensure that team members can fully explain their offerings and guide new members to the option best suited to their needs. This helps reduce attrition by keeping members engaged with new activities as their interests change. 09:04. 3. Low Attrition Rates Driven by Diverse Offerings: With multiple activities available like fitness, golf, pickleball, bowling, and group classes, members are less likely to leave since there is always something appealing. As a result, their annual member attrition rate is relatively low (about 30%), and staff turnover is also below industry averages 09:45. 4. Community Over Competition: GreatLIFE maintains close, non-competitive relationships with other local golf courses and fitness entities. Rather than trying to compete directly, they work together and even refer potential members elsewhere if their own services do not match a visitor's needs. This bolsters the overall community and reputation, benefiting everyone. 07:16. 5. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a Succession Strategy: A key differentiator is the adoption of an ESOP for succession planning. This structure allows employees to gradually gain ownership stakes in the company, fostering long-term commitment and a sense of shared responsibility. The move also helps preserve the company's culture, aligning incentives and making employees more invested in the company's success. 10:55 Resources:  Nick Ovenden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-ovenden-8b047349  GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness: https://joingreatlife.com  Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com
