Counting the Beat is a new four-part series that tells New Zealander's stories - by the numbers. Hosted by Tamati Rimene-Sproat, it explores what the latest data tells us about ourselves.

For years, viewers of 19 Kids and Counting watched the Duggar family portray a picture of traditional Christian values. But behind the reality-TV smiles was a darker story of manipulation, control, and hidden abuse. While sisters like Jill and Jinger Duggar have spoken out, this week's guest offers a perspective we've never heard before. Amy Duggar King—known to millions as “Cousin Amy”—was there nearly every day, woven into the Duggar world. But even as she navigated the toxic dynamics within her famous extended family, she was returning home to her own secrets and struggles. For years she lived under labels she didn't choose, branded “Crazy Cousin Amy” while quietly enduring coercion and gaslighting. Now, with her new book Holy Disruptor, Amy is ready to share her story fully and honestly. In this conversation, she opens up about what it was like growing up surrounded by deception, how she learned to reclaim her voice, and why disrupting toxic cycles is not rebellion—it's sacred.

In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast, hosts Gina and Roxanne talk with Allison, who shares her compelling birth story. At 34 weeks pregnant, Allison noticed decreased fetal movement and, after listening to the podcast's 'Count the Kicks' episode, decided to seek medical attention. This decision likely saved her baby's life. Allison discusses her pregnancy journey, her initial plans for a natural birth, the end-of-pregnancy scare, and how an emergency C-section became necessary to save her baby. The conversation emphasizes the importance of monitoring fetal movements and listening to one's intuition. They also cover the challenges of navigating a NICU stay and offer advice for other expectant parents.00:00 Introduction to the MamasteFit Podcast01:49 Meet Allison: A Birth Story Begins02:27 Allison's Pregnancy Journey04:10 Birth Plan and Preparations07:48 Decreased Fetal Movement: A Turning Point12:07 Hospital Visit and Emergency C-Section21:33 NICU Experience and Postpartum Reflections26:23 Advice for Expecting Mothers30:32 Conclusion and Gratitude34:03 Sponsor Message and Final Thoughts

In today's episode of EMBody Radio, I sit down with Scarlett Leung — a powerhouse operator and entrepreneur who has scaled businesses from scratch to over $600 million in revenue. Scarlett brings a rare balance of creative vision and business logic, and in this conversation we break down the real skills and mindset shifts required to build at the highest levels. We dig into what it actually takes to grow a company beyond the startup phase, the realities of leadership, and why blending creativity with discipline is the ultimate entrepreneurial advantage. Whether you're just starting your journey or scaling past 7+ figures, this episode will light a fire under you. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Scarlett's journey from CPA to scaling businesses to $600M+ in revenue The hardest transitions in growth: why the leap from $500M to $1B is the steepest The essential business/logical skills every entrepreneur should cultivate (finance, ops, HR, ecom) Why creative intuition is equally critical, and how Scarlett balances both sides The danger of staying loyal to team members who can't scale with the business How to hire and assess talent at each stage of growth The role of grit, adaptability, and willingness to learn in long-term success Cross-functional leadership: why marketing, supply chain, and finance must all communicate Scarlett's reflections on community, connection, and creating opportunities for collaboration Why You Should Listen Think like a $600M operator — learn what separates hobbyist entrepreneurs from leaders who scale into the hundreds of millions. Spot your own ceiling — understand when you might be the bottleneck, and how to bring in the right people to take your business higher. Balance logic with creativity — discover why finance, ops, and HR matter just as much as vision, innovation, and connection.

To give us an on-the-ground perspective from court, Amy Maciver speaks to Nthuthuzelo Nene, reporter at EWN, who was present at today’s proceedings. The case, which has already seen multiple postponements due to outstanding court papers, focuses on CODETA’s plea for the reversal of the Western Cape Mobility Department’s decision and highlights the ongoing feud with rival association CATA, which continues to complicate the matter. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Welcome to Property Unfiltered, a collection of raw and uncensored conversations with Simon Loo and some of the nation's most savvy investors – giving you the insights you need to achieve your property dreams. In this episode of Property Unfiltered, House Finder's Simon Loo and Smart Property Investment's Liam Garman are joined by investors Lee Ouch and Caryn Lim to reveal how they built a nine-property portfolio in just six years. The conversation examines Australia's evolving real estate landscape, where opportunities exist but require careful strategy. Demand for lifestyle-rich coastal suburbs, such as Quinns Rocks, is reshaping local markets, with affordability and liveability drawing both buyers and investors. Lee and Caryn share how disciplined planning and the right professional support have allowed them to scale their portfolio quickly. They also explain how “rentvesting” gives them flexibility to live where they want while investing in high-growth areas. Rising interest rates, unexpected costs, and reliance on negative gearing highlight the challenges of managing multiple properties. Government incentives, such as the First Home Guarantee, are also discussed, though with a caution against short-term thinking.

What's worth more than your most impressive accomplishments, your proudest moments, your deepest knowledge? According to the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3, absolutely nothing compares to knowing Jesus Christ.Paul's credentials were impeccable: properly circumcised, pure Israelite lineage, from the prestigious tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew-speaking, Pharisaically trained, zealously religious, and legally blameless. By all cultural standards, he had every reason to boast. Yet he declares all these achievements as worthless—literally "dung" or "rubbish"—compared to knowing Christ.The episode traces Paul's spiritual journey from intellectual knowledge of Christ to intimate relationship with Christ to fully experiencing Christ through resurrection power, suffering, obedience unto death, and ultimate resurrection hope. This progression challenges us to examine our own spiritual development: are we still clinging to religious accomplishments, family heritage, theological knowledge, or even past sins as sources of identity?Most powerfully, we confront the question: what are you boasting in? Whatever credentials or achievements you value most, Paul invites you to count them as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus as Lord. Only when we release our grip on everything else can we truly gain Christ and be found in him.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

That Solo Life, Episode 315: Counting the Cost of Transparency in a Rage-Filled World Episode Summary In a world that demands brand transparency, is it possible to be too open? This week, Karen and Michelle discuss the complex landscape of modern communication, where the call for brands to be transparent can sometimes lead to backlash. They explore the challenges PR pros face in a culture lacking nuance, where every statement is scrutinized and outrage is just a click away. Learn how to advise clients on when to speak up, when to stay silent, and how to navigate the pressure to weigh in on every social issue. This episode provides strategic advice for helping brands remain authentic and effective without falling into the transparency trap, all while protecting your own mental health. Episode Highlights [01:18] Introduction to today's topic: The cost of transparency for brands. [02:21] Why the trend of full transparency can be costly for organizations and individuals in today's culture. [03:37] Discussing the public's tendency to immediately question a brand's motives and the lack of critical thinking. [05:21] The heroic role of communicators in lowering the temperature and bringing rationality to volatile situations. [06:05] Navigating the communication challenges presented by different generational perspectives and expectations. [07:15] How social media algorithms profit from rage and how that impacts brand communications. [09:00] The importance of being strategic with personal and CEO branding—deciding what hill you want to die on. [10:06] The difference between having brand values and feeling the need to have a voice in every public conversation. [12:12] The dangers of "cancel culture" and the high personal stakes for individuals who share opinions online. [13:12] A reminder that brands are not entitled to 100% of your attention or required to comment on every world problem. [14:35] Shifting the focus from having an opinion to taking meaningful action that supports your audience, like providing resources during a crisis. [15:34] Why nuance and genuineness are replacing the era of full transparency. [16:43] The power of being helpful and honest, rather than feeling pressured to weigh in on everything.

Guest: Duc Do – AI expert, entrepreneur, author, and ultra-runner with a penchant for the “boring” and a training schedule that defies all conventional wisdom. Get Ready For: A wildly inspiring, deeply honest, and surprisingly hilarious conversation that proves there's no single “right” way to be a runner. Duc's story is a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and finding your own path. Why You'll Love This Episode: The Ultimate Underdog Story: Duc grew up in Vietnam and India, plagued by chronic illness from overuse of antibiotics. He was the kid who finished dead last in school runs, huffing and puffing while the girls passed him. Fast forward to today, and he's tackling 200-mile races like Delirious West. How? You'll have to listen! The “Cunning Plan” (a.k.a. The Anti-Training Plan): Forget 6am track sessions and weekly mileage logs. Duc's secret weapon? Running just once a week. That's right. He's a self-proclaimed “specialist at tapering” and has built an incredible ultra-running career on a single, long Sunday run. His philosophy: make it work for your crazy life, not the other way around. Embrace the Boring (Seriously): Duc didn't choose running because he loved it; he chose it because he feared and found it utterly boring. His logic? If something is that unappealing, it must be exactly what he needed to break his cycle of illness. Spoiler alert: it worked. Running as Radical Honesty & Meditation: For Duc, ultra-running isn't about medals or bragging rights. It's a “privileged playground” to practice mindfulness and be brutally honest with yourself. When you're 100 miles in, there's no facade left—just you, your breath, and your footsteps. He shares how this practice bleeds into everyday life. The Power of the DNF: In a world obsessed with finishing, Duc offers a refreshing perspective. He finds deep satisfaction in his Did Not Finishes (DNFs) because the races that cause them are often the most fascinating and transformative. It's not about the result; it's about the raw, unfiltered experience. Tips from the Maverick: For Motivation: Sign up for races! Duc calls them “valid excuses” to get out the door and commit. The financial investment and the start line are powerful motivators. For Mental Toughness: When your mind starts to wander (especially when you're tired or in pain), gently bring it back to the basics: your breath, your footsteps, or the simple rhythm of your movement. Counting or focusing on colours can help. For Race Strategy (His Way): Don't fight your need for sleep in ultras. Duc, a self-described “big sleeper,” prioritises 1.5-2 hour chunks of quality sleep over micro-naps during 200-milers. Find what works for your body. For Injury Prevention (Maybe): Being a slow runner might be his secret. Duc credits his lack of serious injuries to not pushing for speed, which puts less strain on the body. He's also transitioning more to trails for their softer impact and muscle variety. The Golden Rule: “There's a million ways [to run ultras], and there are a lot of ways that I have not even thought of just yet.” Your path is yours alone. Experiment and find what feels right. Duc's Next Big Adventures: He's eyeing the gruelling Volstead 500K in the US (because it sounds “boring as hell”) and is determined to conquer the Tour de Trails after two DNFs. His cunning plans for these are already in the works! Connect with Duc: Duc's  LinkTree (all his links) - https://linktr.ee/ducdo

"I bleed purple at work. I don't bleed Republican red or Democrat blue—I bleed purple, the color of my company." When two of healthcare technology's most influential policy voices join forces, you get the unvarnished truth about how healthcare transformation really happens in Washington and beyond. Leigh Burchell (VP Policy and Public Affairs at Altera Digital Health) and Leslie Krigstein (VP Communication & Government Affairs at Transcarent) have spent decades translating between Silicon Valley innovation and Capitol Hill regulation. Their combined influence has shaped everything from meaningful use to digital health adoption. In this revealing episode, Leigh and Leslie discuss: Why they're still counting clicks in 2025 Humanizing corporate interests while maintaining credibility The delicate dance between innovation and regulation in the age of AI Why "pledges" are back under Trump 2.0 How consumerization is revolutionizing healthcare Being "the sharpest person in the room" while staying honest "Every policy maker wants to talk about digital health," Leigh notes. "It's massively exploding at the state level too." With AI "bullet training down the tracks," both women navigate the balance between enabling innovation and avoiding regulation that could "cut us off at the knees." Their secret to influence? Collaboration and genuine relationships. "We all want the same thing. People can sense that, so we hold hands and run in the same direction," says Leigh. Leslie adds: "There are lasting relationships with folks on Capitol Hill that started with simple coffee." Both have stood up to CEOs, defended patient interests over profits, and maintained integrity when commercial pressures mounted. For aspiring policy influencers: Be an advocate in all facets of life. Find your passion. Build trust through honesty.

In this episode, my guest is Jonathan Hirschtritt, Head of Sustainability & Investment at GCM Grosvenor – a leading global alternative asset manager for more than five decades.The firm manages over $80 billion across the full spectrum of alternatives and has built one of the most comprehensive impact and sustainability investing platforms in private markets.In 2017, Grosvenor brought Jonathan in to work on strategy and operations, later moving into the role of Deputy COO. Four years later, leadership asked him to take on something very different: to formalize and build Grosvenor's sustainable and impact investing platform.The firm already had a long history with underrepresented managers and other initiatives, but this mandate meant creating a dedicated team, new frameworks, and a full reporting system from scratch.“This was a brand new area… no one really had done impact reporting or sustainable reporting compared to financial reporting.”Today, Jonathan runs Grosvenor's sustainable and impact platform – representing roughly a third of the firm's AUM. It's spread across private equity, infrastructure, credit, and real estate.It's a returns-first model, fully discretionary, but built to be customized. In fact, more than 70% of Grosvenor's capital is deployed through separate accounts designed around a client's specific objectives – whether that means climate, affordable housing, labor outcomes, or education.Jonathan makes a sharp distinction between “sustainable” and “impact,” and for him it comes down to two things: intentionality and measurement. In short, if a GP accidentally does good, that's great. But that's not impact unless it was designed that way – and unless you can prove it.What struck me in our conversation is how much of Grosvenor's model is built on customization. Every mandate begins with the client's own theory of change – whether that's climate, social infrastructure, labor outcomes, or diversity – and then the team constructs an investment program to match.Jonathan doesn't talk like a marketer. He talks like a builder. Someone who's spent years designing a platform that balances customization and scale – and believes that the future of impact is about doing the hard work behind the scenes, even when no one's watching.In our conversation, he showed how the real work starts before a dollar is invested – aligning on objectives, setting outcomes, and building them into portfolio construction.We also discussed:the challenges of data reportingthe distinctions in ESG terminologythe leverage of private capitalwhy impact only scales when it moves in lockstep with performancethe growing role of AIwhat rising energy demand might mean for infrastructure and climate strategiesTune in.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

Jaime Saint is the grandson of Nate Saint, one of the five missionaries who in 1956 were famously killed by the Auca (Waodani) tribe in a remote rain forest of Ecuador.  Over the years, the story has been told and dramatized in many books, magazines, movies, documentaries and stage productions but in this conversation with John Coulombe and Wayne Rice, Jaime explains how the faithfulness of his grandfather Nate as well as his father Steve has impacted the lives of the Waodani people and his own life in the sixty years that have passed since those missionaries gave their lives.

How do we find laughter when everything feels too heavy? What role does humor play when we're facing unimaginable challenges? Emmy, Peabody, and Grammy-winning comedy writer Rob Kutner offers surprising wisdom on these questions through the lens of Jewish history and his own creative journey."I can't solve those problems, nor should I try to, but at least I can give people's brains a break so that they'll have the strength to come back to the problems and solve them or be engaged in them," Kutner reflects. This perspective frames comedy not as escape but as essential mental restoration—something the Jewish people have relied on throughout their 5,000-year history.Kutner's book "The Jews: 5,000 Years and Counting" blends sharp wit with deep historical research, creating an accessible entry point to Jewish history that honors both its complexity and its resilience. We explore how his own Jewish identity was paradoxically strengthened by attending a Christian school in Atlanta, which prompted him to ask fundamental questions about who he was and what he believed.Our conversation takes a profound turn when discussing the current moment of heightened antisemitism and global conflict. Writing during and after October 7th, 2023, Kutner experienced a creative paralysis that forced him to reconsider his approach to Jewish history. What emerged was a deeper appreciation for the Jewish tradition of holding multiple truths simultaneously—acknowledging both suffering and resilience, recognizing both grief and joy.Perhaps most fascinating is Kutner's creative approach to biblical stories, reimagining characters like Abraham, Sarah, and Moses in modern contexts like group therapy sessions or personal diaries. These exercises in empathy allow readers to connect with ancient stories in fresh, meaningful ways while honoring the tradition's inherent complexity.Whether you're seeking perspective during difficult times or simply curious about how comedy can illuminate profound truths, this conversation offers both comfort and challenge—reminding us that sometimes, the most serious thing we can do is laugh.Learn more at https://www.robkutner.com/.

The episode offers valuable insights and resources for entrepreneurs looking to improve their businesses, with Josh inviting listeners to connect for further guidance.Chapters:Introduction and Framework Overview (00:00:00)Josh introduces Chad as the interviewer and outlines his four-part framework for enhancing business performance.Product Innovation (00:01:50)Josh discusses the importance of unique product innovation, sharing an example of educational posters during COVID-19.Hiring Smart People (00:05:29)Josh explains why hiring talented people is crucial, with examples of improving processes through expert team members.Sales and Marketing (00:10:54)Josh emphasizes sales and marketing as the lifeblood of any business, necessary before scaling other areas.Operations and Implementing an Operating System (00:11:59)Josh details the importance of operational systems for scaling, describing their meeting structure and management processes.Getting Started with Operating Systems (00:15:47)Josh gives advice on how to begin implementing an operating system, recommending resources and offering help.Conclusion and Farewell (00:17:23)Chad and Josh wrap up the episode and say goodbye to listeners.Links and Mentions:Meetings and FrameworksL10 Meeting4-1-1 MeetingsEOS FrameworkWebsitesEcomm BreakthroughRise25BooksThe E-MythTranscript:Josh 00:00:00  I have Chad Franzen here of rise 25, who has done hundreds of interviews with successful entrepreneurs and CEOs. We have flipped the script and he's going to be interviewing me today. Welcome, Chad.Chad 00:00:12  Hey, Josh, thanks. It's great to be here. today, I would love to talk about your approach to, enhancing the performance of a business in your years as a business leader. What kind of framework have you developed where you can just step in and kind of implement ways to enhance the performance of a business pretty quickly.Josh 00:00:28  Over the last few years, I think, as our own business has continued to grow in scale, and I needed to build out a leadership team, I needed to myself write down what I felt were the biggest drivers, needle movers, biggest levers that I can pull inside the business. And so it forced me to kind of like narrow it down to like, there's a million different things that I could be working on with inside the business, right? I could be working on just HR in and of itself.Josh 00:00:59  I could be working on marketing, social media. I could be working on, you know, accounting, finance. There's the list goes on and on and on. Right. So what I decided to do is just create like four areas where if we focus on these four areas within our business and we make strategic decisions, this should be able to make an impact if we pull this particular lever. So that's how I kind of identified these. And I have specific examples here that I'll share with you that that walk through kind of why I decided like this is a core area of the business rather than, you know, maybe accounting for example, and finance, although important, you know, these are the four core things that I can move into a business, make changes, and then be able to see growth happen real quick. Does that make sense?Chad 00:01:50  Yeah, absolutely. So the first one that you listed, of the four was product innovation. Tell me a little bit more about you know obviously it's very important, but tell me a little bit more about your thoughts on it.Josh 00:02:00  Yeah. In one of our earlier podcast episodes, I shared this as one of my biggest mistakes that I've made in a business, and that is kind of creating me two products or looking at the market and saying, well, they're doing well with this type of product. So obviously I should just introduce something similar and I'm going to have similar results. What I have learned from launching over 1300 different products at this point is that you need to bring something unique to the table. creating meta products is never going to serve you in the long run. If if you do stumble upon something and it works. It's going to be a short term win in my opinion. So one of the examples that I would give you is, you know, one of the products that we launched during Covid, was educational posters. Okay. So obviously with homeschool, becoming more of a thing during Covid. Back in 2020, we our business had to pivot. We looked at, you know, different home school supplies and different things that we could launch to cater to that market because it was such a it was an expanding market at the time.Josh 00:03:11  We looked at one of the most competitive niches on Amazon itself, and we saw educational posters as one of those. What we decided to do is we decided to throw our hat in the ring, but what we noticed is that nearly all of the competitors and most of these competitors were overseas competitors, right? So what we noticed, though, is they all look very, very similar. You know, Chad, I would argue that it those posters that you saw on Amazon were probably the exact same posters that we grew up with in the classroom, you know, just kind of your standard, you know, vanilla educational poster, so to speak. And we're talking about like, ABC to, you know, all the letters of the alphabet. Counting from 1 to 100. Things like that. So what my wife decided to do, though, is she. You know, she's just so good at design. But she looked at what was trending on Etsy, what was trending on Pinterest, what was trending on Google, and what did she see on social media that teachers, how teachers were decorating their room, or how parents were decorating their homeschool rooms, so to speak.Josh 00:04:21  And after kind of gathering all of that information, she decided to design something that I don't think anybody else has ever seen before. So number one, she has a very creative mind. But we went into an overlay like, again, if most people would look at that niche, they'd say, that's a saturated market, don't go into it. There's no way you're going to make any money. And instead what we did is we launched the product in August of 2020. We became the number t...
