Case Interview Preparation & Management Consulting | Strategy | Critical Thinking
In this episode, Krista White, coauthor of Culture Design and cofounder of Culture Design Lab explains how leaders can treat culture as a strategic lever rather than an HR initiative. 1. Culture is inseparable from strategy Krista stresses that culture cannot be treated as background. It determines whether strategic plans survive contact with execution. “We were noticing that there was a gap in people knowing how to connect culture with strategy. Our hope is that this book serves as a practical guide.” Leaders who design culture deliberately create alignment and resilience. Those who ignore it risk drift and underperformance. 2. Leadership presence remains essential Digital tools cannot replace visible leadership. “Everyone should be able to get five minutes with you. The CEO should not be a high on a hill person who is not reachable.” Walking the floor and observing frontline conditions show employees what leadership values. 3. Rituals make values real Rituals translate values into behavior. “The rituals that stick are the ones tied directly to your business model and purpose not borrowed from another industry.” 4. Resistance is part of the process Cultural change often meets skepticism. Krista advises leaders to treat adoption like marketing. “Think of it like marketing. You need many touches before someone clicks buy. Culture change requires consistency and repetition.” Consistency reduces resistance. 5. Context shapes culture Best practices cannot be copied blindly. “I used to think there was one right way for culture to look. I learned it is industry and context dependent.” The principle is to design culture that fits your strategy and market position. 6. Leadership lessons that endure Krista learned two lessons from her father James White that remain relevant for executives Discipline and preparation: “Practice makes perfect.” Balance and resilience: Never sacrificing family relationships even under pressure. 7. A broader leadership mission Krista frames her work around freedom and engagement. “My why is to do my part in creating a freer and more joyful world for everyone. For me that is through storytelling.” Organizations perform best when employees can bring their full selves to work.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patrick van der Burght, persuasion expert and founding member of the Cialdini Institute, to explore the science of ethical influence. From workplace negotiations to everyday decision-making, persuasion plays a vital role in our lives—but it doesn't have to rely on manipulation. Patrick shares practical insights on the 7 universal principles of persuasion, how to spot when influence crosses into unethical territory, and why understanding human decision-making is crucial in today's distraction-filled world. This conversation offers listeners a clear framework to use persuasion responsibly while reducing stress, building stronger relationships, and creating long-term success. About the Guest : Patrick van der Burght is an international keynote speaker, trainer, and persuasion strategist. As a business partner of Dr. Robert Cialdini—the world-renowned author of Influence—Patrick has been teaching ethical persuasion since 2000. He is the author of How to Hear YES More Often and leads workshops and programs worldwide that help professionals communicate with integrity, avoid manipulative tactics, and leverage science-backed persuasion for lasting impact. Key Takeaways: Persuasion can be used ethically or unethically—science shows unethical tactics deliver only short-term wins but damage trust long-term. The three ethical filter questions: Are you telling the truth? Is the information naturally there (not exaggerated)? Is the request wise for both sides? Seven principles of persuasion—Reciprocity, Liking, Unity, Social Proof, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity—work across all cultures and contexts. Scarcity is the most misused principle online; knowing how it works protects us from manipulation. Decision-making is mostly subconscious: 95% of decisions are made by System 1 (shortcuts), not System 2 (logic). This makes persuasion science more relevant than ever. Ethical persuasion creates stronger relationships, lowers stress, and builds trust in business and personal life. Products and ideas don't always “speak for themselves.” Without effective communication, uncertainty leads people to decide not to decide.

Episode 276 of The Business Development Podcast welcomes Garry Ridge, the legendary former CEO of WD-40 and author of Any Dumbass Can Do It. Garry takes us inside the culture transformation that turned WD-40 into a global icon, showing how “learning moments” and servant leadership created an environment where people belonged, felt valued, and performed at their best. His story proves that lasting success doesn't come from fear or control but from building workplaces where people love to show up and contribute.In this conversation, Garry shares the lessons he now brings to his coaching and speaking, from removing fear in organizations to leading with empathy and courage. He reminds us that leadership doesn't have to be complicated — it has to be consistent, human, and purposeful. And with his trademark humility, he leaves us with a powerful reminder to live and lead fully: Life's a gift. Don't send it back.Key Takeaways:1. The best cultures are built on belonging, safety, and purpose, not fear or control.2. A leader's job is not to manage people but to coach them into the best version of themselves.3. Consistency beats reinvention when it comes to building brand trust and recognition.4. Learning moments replace mistakes — they're opportunities to grow, not reasons to punish.5. Focus wins markets; WD-40's success came from doing one thing honestly and doing it well.6. Strategic plans mean little unless people are passionate about executing them daily.7. Empathy must outweigh ego for leaders to earn trust and unlock performance.8. Culture cannot be microwaved; it takes time, commitment, and daily reinforcement.9. Fear is paralyzing — removing it from organizations unleashes innovation and courage.10. Life is a gift; leadership is about making sure people don't send it back.Links for Garry RidgeBook: Any Dumbass Can Do ItWebsite: thelearningmoment.netAnd Rockstars — we need your help in the Signal Awards!

In this Mentor Moment, Colin Harmon, founder of 3FE Coffee, reveals why consistency beats occasional brilliance when it comes to building lasting brands. He shares the lesson that changed how he thought about coffee forever: customers don't need the “best cup ever” - they just need it never to be bad. By raising the floor instead of the ceiling, Colin built trust, scaled his business, and turned 3FE into one of Ireland's most iconic coffee names. Listen to the full conversation on Episode 400 of The Entrepreneur Experiment. Show Notes Why Colin shifted focus from chasing perfection to building consistency The compliment that redefined his business: “It's never sh*t” How raising the lowest standard creates long-term trust with customers Why brands should aim to be like Guinness: reliably good, every time The challenge (and opportunity) of standing out in a saturated market Resources & Links 3fe: https://3fe.com/ 3fe on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/3fecoffee —— Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly inspiration on Business, Brain and Body, as well as exclusive events, courses and more, straight to your inbox.

Join Myrna as she speaks with David Amerland, the author of "Build to Last: How to Get Stronger, Healthier, and Happier at Every Stage of Life." They explore the concept of fitness and wellness beyond appearances, focusing on personalized goals and lifelong strategies. Discover why many fail to sustain fitness routines and learn practical tips and motivation to integrate physical activity into daily life. David emphasizes making fitness personal, possible, and persistent, and highlights the impact of consistent, mindful movement. Perfect for anyone seeking to enhance their health and wellness at any age.Listeners are introduced to the concept of the "paradox of fitness," as David highlights the pervasive, yet often misleading fitness ideals portrayed in media. Despite a global market flooded with fitness resources and staggering financial investments in health, true fitness remains elusive due to cultural myths and unrealistic goals. Amerland emphasizes the personal nature of fitness and the necessity of making incremental, mindful changes that reflect individual lifestyles. This episode serves as a clarion call for adopting a realistic, personalized approach to fitness that prioritizes health over appearance.Key Takeaways:True fitness is personal and should be gauged by how you feel in your body, rather than by comparison to unrealistic media-fueled ideals.Consistency and mindfulness in physical activities can significantly impact your fitness journey and overall well-being.Small, intentional changes, like choosing to take the stairs or walk more, can lead to substantial health improvements over time.Overcoming negative self-talk and setting realistic expectations are crucial in developing sustainable fitness habits.Fitness is not about extreme regimens but integrating physical activity into daily routines to enjoy better health and longevity.Resources:David Amerland's Website: davidamerland.comDavid Amerland's Book: "Built to Last: How to Get Stronger, Healthier, and Happier at Every Stage of Life" To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

In this kickoff episode, I'll pull back the curtain on my five-year journey to create The Consistency Code. You'll discover the real-world observations that sparked this work and the personal consistency struggles that made me the perfect imperfect person to write it. This episode offers a unique glimpse into: The pattern of frustration I noticed across hundreds of midlife women My own embarrassing consistency failures and how they became valuable research The “aha moment” that finally allowed me to complete this work after years of false starts … and so much more! Whether you're curious about the book or already committed to showing up more consistently for yourself, this heartfelt episode connects the dots between my professional observations and personal experience to explain why The Consistency Code is more than just another book—it's a revolution in how midlife women approach behavior change and how they can put their healthiest and happiest years ahead of them, rather than behind them.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Nathan Schiess is a personal branding strategist and marketing expert who helps real estate professionals build authority, create visibility, and attract aligned relationships through strategic content. With a background in psychology, personal development, and real estate investing, Nathan blends storytelling and strategy to position his clients as trusted leaders in the industry. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways A personal brand is not vanity — it's a system for communicating credibility to investors. Social media should be treated as a business tool, not a personal diary. High-net-worth individuals invest in people they trust, not just in advertised returns. You don't need tens of thousands of followers — a small, targeted audience can raise millions. Content should focus on solving your ideal client's problems, not showcasing yourself. Topics From Investor to Branding Expert Nathan built a 40-unit portfolio before transitioning to focus on branding. Learned the importance of documenting and marketing expertise after losing everything in a divorce. Why Personal Branding Matters Without a brand, every investor interaction requires retelling your story. A curated online presence creates confidence and trust before the first meeting. Overcoming Objections to Social Media Branding isn't about you — it's about your Ideal Client Profile (ICP). Being shy or reluctant isn't an excuse if your goals require visibility. Branding can be outsourced like any other business function. Content That Builds Trust Define your ICP clearly and tailor content to their problems, questions, roadblocks, and desired results. Consistency and clarity build authority over time. Followers who won't invest aren't your audience — focus only on those who will. Monetizing Without Vanity Metrics 1,000 quality followers can generate six figures in deal flow. Followers must know exactly how to work with you — clear calls to action are essential. Avoid content that entertains without converting.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism. What you'll learn in this episode: Galileo's trial and its impact on science and freedom How Christianity and the Reformation shaped individualism The Enlightenment's role in liberty and natural rights Ethical individualism vs. collectivist control Why libertarians defend conscience, speech, and voluntary cooperation https://youtu.be/q3Y7zGmoYaA 00:00 Galileo vs. the Inquisition 01:49 The Rise of Heliocentrism 02:42 Courage, Individualism, & Libertarianism 03:33 What Is Individualism?

Luke Way, founder of Isocapnic Technologies, reveals how respiratory limitations affect athletic performance and how proper breathing training can unlock significant performance gains.• Approximately 70% of athletes are functionally limited by their respiratory systems, meaning they physically cannot breathe enough air to perform at their true potential• VO2 max testing provides valuable insights beyond just a number, showing how different body systems contribute to or limit performance• Many athletes compensate with rapid, shallow breathing (up to 70 breaths per minute) instead of utilizing their full lung capacity• Breathing deeper rather than faster is more efficient as each breath contains "dead space" air that doesn't participate in gas exchange• The Isocapnic device allows athletes to train respiratory muscles without hyperventilation, conditioning them for sustained deep breathing• Nasal breathing is beneficial for low-intensity activities but physically cannot meet ventilation demands during high-intensity exercise• Proper respiratory training can reduce the energy cost of breathing from 18% to 8% of total energy expenditure during endurance activities• Blood work several times per year helps athletes monitor important markers like ferritin levels to optimize training and recovery• Consistency in training, recovery, and injury management is the ultimate differentiator for athletic successFor more information about respiratory training and to connect with Luke Way, visit Isocapnic Technologies online or reach out at Kelowna Hockey Fest.Support the show Check out our Website | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Tiktok | Spotify | Apple | Google | Youtube l Save 20% on Perfect Sports Supplements

Episode 585 Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl talks with Amy DeBusk, a loan officer out of Northern California who went from zero closings last September to funding 12 loans this September. They dive into the structure, consistency, and discipline that turned her business around and gave her a whole new level of confidence. Listeners will hear why tracking leads instead of just counting closings created a major shift, how Amy turned realtor partnerships, online reviews, and YouTube content into a balanced three-legged stool of lead generation, and the role accountability played in keeping her focused on the right daily activities. Amy also shares how she uses ChatGPT (she calls it Gus) to crunch numbers, draft proposals, and stay ahead with marketing strategies, along with the simple product videos that continue to bring in leads week after week. Check out an example of Amy's videos here: An Example Of Amy DeBusk Videos Schedule a one-on-one free coaching call, click here or visit LoanOfficerStrategyCall.com.

What does it really take to turn grief into purpose, and build a life anchored in giving, creativity, and real human connection For Sarah Akiba, celebrity stylist and founder of the nonprofit “Angel Watching Over Me,” it started with loss. After her father passed away, she built community through support groups, opened safe spaces for girls in public schools, and launched multiple ventures—all rooted in service and soul In this episode of Common Denominator, we unpack how grief became Sarah's superpower, how she balances creativity with entrepreneurship, and why alignment, not aesthetics, is what truly connects people. In this episode, you'll learn:

In October 2024, Cider Chat MC Ria Windcaller recorded with Tom Vowles of Hedger Cider and Ben Crossman in Somerset. Initially, the two recordings felt like separate brand stories. Then, nearly a year later to the day as the produciton of this audio began and the transcript peeled away a story of entwined history came to light and a shared connection: Coates Cider of Nailsea. Tom Vowles Suddenly a light bulb was illuminated! The Coates Cider Company was at the helm of the story and here at Cider Chat Central we saw the weaving in of the story behind both Nick Showering and Bob Cork episode on Triple Vintage! The story of cider is entwined in surprising ways and make perfect sense! Remembering Tom Vowles Tom walked Ria about his production room which showcased a massive rack and cloth press – that originally came from Coates: “It's a big old press, isn't it? Came out of Coates originally. We've put a lot into getting it running again, and it does the job.” – Tom Vowles At the time of this recording Hedgers Cider had been opened for just 14 months and during that time had become a go-to place for cider fans. The fact that it is located 5 minutes from the Bristol Airport and along a major artery from Weston super-Mare to Bristol also helps. What we didn't expect was Tom unexpectedly passing away in June of 2025. At the time of this broadcast in fall of 2025, his wife Jo and their son David is now carrying Hedgers forward. Ben Crossman's Cider and Family History Ben's story reaches back to the 1930s, when his grandfather made cider alongside Redvers Coate. They even at one time considered a partnership. Ben Crossman Tradition: Wild ferments, bittersweet varieties Continuity: Keeping cider alive through tough decades Parallel: A family path entwined with Coates' rise “It's funny, isn't it? The Coates family were massive, and yet they're not here anymore. But we're still making cider.” – Ben Crossman Sidebar: Coates & Triple Vintage Founded 1925 by Redvers Coate in Nailsea Wartime boost: rationing and zoning expanded markets 1951 premium launch: Triple Vintage and Festival Vat 1956 takeover: Showerings doubled production Modern link: Showerings' Triple Vintage continues the name – launched in 2023 Reflection: Cider's Market Identity Cider was the choice drink for many and Perry once rivaled champagne and held prestige in Parliament. Today, the challenge is reclaiming value without losing openness. Like vinyl records and artisan bread, cider's comeback requires: Consistency of quality — season after season Audience engagement — beyond cider circles, into wine, food, and tourism Authenticity without snobbery — refined yet welcoming Contact info for Hedgers and Crossman's Hedger Cider: https://www.hedgercider.co.uk Crossman's Cider: https://www.crossmanscider.co.uk Mentions in this Cider Chat Totally Cider Tours Absolem Cider Apple Pie Bake Off – October 4, 2025 – judging starts at 4pm Kanga Cider
