Welcome to A Leadership Beyond, where we explore business challenges through a people-centered lens. In today's episode, we sit down with Ryan Englin, author of "Hire Better People Faster" and founder of Core Matters, who brings a fresh perspective to recruiting and retention in the trades and service industries. Drawing from his personal experience growing up in a blue-collar household, Ryan watched his father - a successful business owner - spend countless hours on hiring and managing his team. This inspired Ryan's passion to find a better way. After founding his own marketing company, he discovered that effective recruiting was fundamentally a marketing challenge, leading him to develop streamlined processes and automation tools that help businesses hire and retain the right people. Today, he shares transformative insights about building successful teams. Key takeaways from our conversation: • Recruiting is fundamentally a marketing activity, not an HR function - organizations need to become attractive to potential employees just as they work to attract customers • The trades don't have a labor shortage, they have a retention crisis - the challenge isn't finding people, it's creating an environment where they want to stay • Successful hiring requires a holistic approach - from clear definition of what "good" looks like, to proper assessment tools, and comprehensive onboarding that shows you have your act together Thank you for joining us for this enlightening conversation with Ryan Englin. His practical insights about treating employees as whole human beings and building systems that support both hiring and retention remind us that great leadership starts with how we view and value our people.

A strong core is not just about physical health but also contributes to overall well-being. It can boost your self-confidence, improve body image, and enhance your ability to engage in physical activities you enjoy.What is diastasis recti? Julie Tupler is a registered nurse, certified childbirth educator, and certified personal trainer. She is the pioneer behind the TuplerTechnique®, a program designed to treat diastasis recti in women, men and children. Julie breaks down the common condition and explains how it affects everyone, regardless of gender, from childhood to adulthood.She joins podcast hosts Amber Berger and Dina Wizmur to share valuable insights into its connections with the pelvic floor and the importance of strengthening the transverse muscle. Her expertise shines through as she unveils the secrets behind diastasis recti and offers hope to those looking to heal their cores. How long does it take to resolve diastasis recti? Can it reopen after being closed? She addresses these questions and more, shedding light on the journey to a stronger, healthier core. Topics Discussed: Diastasis Recti Defined: Diastasis recti is a condition where the outermost abdominal muscles separate, and the connective tissue between them stretches sideways. It is not gender-specific and can affect both men and women. Diagnosis of Diastasis Recti: Diastasis recti can be diagnosed by checking for a separation between the abdominal muscles and the condition of the connective tissue between them. Severe cases may lead to an outie belly button or a noticeable bulge when performing certain movements. Connection to Pelvic Floor: Diastasis recti is connected to the pelvic floor, and addressing one often involves addressing the other. Strengthening the transverse muscle can help with both conditions. Exercise Safely: Certain exercises, like crunches, can worsen diastasis recti if the transverse muscle isn't engaged. Pilates and yoga can be diastasis-safe if practiced correctly. Treatment Duration: The time it takes to resolve diastasis recti varies depending on its severity and the commitment to a treatment program. Significant improvement can be seen in as little as six weeks, but it may take longer for complete closure. Reoccurrence: Diastasis recti can reopen, especially if activities that strain the connective tissue are continued. Maintaining good habits and core strength is crucial. Co-management: Chiropractors and healthcare professionals can co-manage diastasis recti with Julie's program, even if they don't have time for extensive training. Connective Tissue Health: Strengthening the connective tissue is crucial for healing diastasis recti and supporting the core.Learn more about the Tupler Technique THE WELL DROP - Be sure to leave a review and subscribe!Follow on Instagram @thewelldrop Produced by Haynow Media
