Overall vibe of the episode explains how comedy is both an art form and a survival skill. Where originality, adaptability, and persistence matter just as much as getting laughs.

Authority is not bestowed; it's claimed. Your achievements need to be showcased, not hidden. -  Capture Content Gold Every event, conversation, and client win is valuable content.

Your podcast becomes a magnet for authority-building relationships. -  Book as Launchpad, Not a Destination The mistake experts make is stuffing their lifetime of work into a single book. Instead, focus on solving one clear problem and use the book to launch your authority into speaking, media, and additional products. -  Toolkit Must-Haves for Authority Build a robust social profile where your audience hangs out, a one-page website filled with visual proof, a compelling headline, and a marketing bio written in the language of your ideal client. Ignore job titles. Iinstead, define yourself by the impact you create. -  Influence Means Breaking Out of Your Silo Real influence happens when you reach beyond your traditional niche and connect across industries. Be memorable, deliver quotable insights, and create partnerships that elevate your visibility. -  Power of Mapping Your Road and Brand Having a vision for your platform and a well-defined filter for your brand allows you to create content that can't be copied and resonates deeply with your audience.   Episode Highlights: How to overcome the fear of marketing and technology Using audience complaints to craft your unique positioning Leveraging podcast SEO to attract not just clients but powerful collaborators Why book launches work better at breweries than bookstores and create true community buzz   Allison Lane's Free Gift: Get the Free Authority Guide: Unlock your pathway with Allison Lane's "Seven Shifts to Build Real Authority."

The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit  Five women. Five careers. Decades of experience across some of the world's largest organizations. They didn't just find their way into this profession. They helped shape it.  In this companion episode to Internal Auditor magazine's "Leading the Way" article, five internal audit leaders sit for a conversation that's long overdue: Erin Banet, Doris Myles, Chrysti Ziegler, Dominique Vincenti, and Beili Wong. Together, they cover the careers they built, the rooms they walked into alone, and what they'd tell every woman in this profession today. You'll hear why preparing thoroughly is not the same as having permission to speak. You'll learn what it looks like to walk into a high-stakes conversation as a professional first, not as a woman managing a narrative. You'll hear the bad advice one of them ignored, and what happened when she did. And you'll discover what sponsorship really means when it's the difference between being mentored and having someone actively advocate on your behalf.     HOST: Catie Brown Associate Manager & Producer, Content Development, The IIA GUESTS: Erin Banet, CPA Chief Audit and Risk Officer, Humana Chrysti Ziegler, CIA, CRMA, CFE Chief Auditor, Citgo Petroleum Corporation Dominique Vincenti, CIA, CRMA Immediate Past CAE, Uber Board Member, Loft Orbital Beili Wong, CIA, CISA, CPAComptroller General, Ontario Treasury Board SecretariatDirector, Global Guidance, IIA Global Board of Directors Doris Myles, CIA, CPA Director of Internal Audit, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital     KEY POINTS: Introduction: Women's Voices in Internal Audit [00:00:02 – 00:01:33] Career Journeys Into Internal Audit [00:02:12 – 00:09:01] Finding Your Voice in High-Stakes Conversations [00:09:01 – 00:12:14] Confidence vs. Permission [00:12:21 – 00:15:23] Owning Expertise and Leading the Narrative [00:15:23 – 00:18:23] Early Career Challenges and Speaking Up [00:18:23 – 00:20:07] Progress of Women in Internal Audit Leadership [00:20:07 – 00:21:24] Redefining Leadership Through Empathy and Relationships [00:21:24 – 00:23:51] Women as Strategic Leaders, Not Just Technicians [00:23:51 – 00:24:57] The Value of Sponsorship vs. Mentorship [00:26:25 – 00:29:21] Creating Opportunities and Building Networks [00:29:21 – 00:31:51] Balancing Career and Personal Life [00:31:51 – 00:33:57] Final Reflections: Passion, Risk, and Owning Your Space [00:34:03 – 00:36:02] Closing Remarks [00:36:02 – 00:36:45]   Visit The IIA's website or YouTube channel for related topics and more.   IIA RELATED CONTENT:  Interested in this topic?

New York Times' bestselling author Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report, returns to The Julia La Roche Show for episode 310.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Rob Kimbel is an owner of Kimbel Mechanical Systems, located in Fayetteville, AR. He joined KMS in 1993, and in 2001, at the age of 26, he became the CEO and grew what was then 3 local plumbers making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year into a national company with more than 750 employees and earning hundreds of millions in revenue per year. Rob is also a partner in multiple start-ups, real estate projects, and real estate funds that specialize in affordable housing across the United States. Rob is also a mentor and advisor to several local businesses and entrepreneurs in NW Arkansas. He has also served on the boards of Generations Bank, NWA Home Builders Association, and Beyond the Game, a non-profit organization serving the impoverished of the Dominican Republic. Notes: Betty Joe Drive… Lived in the hood. $200/month. Rob regularly takes his children to see where they lived. "I want to remind the kids where we came from." They started as a 3-person plumbing company. Rob was working for his dad, making $12-$14 an hour. Now, they do $260m in revenue and have 750 full-time employees. When Rob was 25 years old, his dad asked him to be the CEO. He initially said no. Strategic risk-taking as a cornerstone of growth: Rob navigates the industry challenge of balancing new work with workforce capacity by making bold hiring decisions—demonstrating a greater risk appetite than his father. "We are always hiring" reflects their proactive approach to scaling. Kimbel is good at growing people. They fail, and stick with them to grow. “Profits are the applause for growing our people.” How to be good? Show up, work hard, and finish the job. The bar is so low. The No Child Left Behind Act wasn't great for the trades industry. They made it seem that every person needed to go to college. When every person shouldn't do that. Some should go into the trades. There are high school grads who make $100K/year by their mid-20s at Kimbel. The Kimbel Purpose: Create opportunities to improve lives. Values - TEAM, Humility, Hunger, Grit, Integrity. TEAM- We willingly sacrifice for the good of the team. Row together. Humility - We never consider ourselves above anyone or anything. Take the back seat. Hunger - We choose to continually raise the bar. Never complacent. Integrity - We do the right thing, in all places, at all times. The how matters. Grit - We persevere, no matter the situation. Remember the why. Thank you notes – Each executive member writes at least one thank you note per week. This works as a forcing function for them to look for people doing great work and living by their values. Touch points - Senior leaders (30 people) reach out to 2 people per week to check on them. That's 3,000 touches per year. Free from all, servant to all. Tattoos on Rob's forearms. I have made myself a servant. Free from work, I don't care what society thinks. But I have a responsibility to be a steward. To be a servant to all. Rob works out like a psycho. Super hard. Why? Start with the end in mind. I want to hold Cheri on my shoulders when I'm 65. I want to ski with my kids when I'm 80. I like to compete. I want to win Spartan races. I like doing hard things. It also creates clarity in my mind throughout the day. Karomy messages me that she knows I'm running the stairs when she gets emails from me with lots of ideas. Marriage insights: "It must be intentional. We have fun together. We are genuine friends. We still have to work through stuff." Parenting philosophy shaped by observing other wealthy families: "It's critical that kids do hard work. They shouldn't start in an office. They should be out with the chickens. Be in the mess. Start at the bottom. Start in the ditch." Family-business boundary maintenance: "We get together every other weekend for family game night. We try not to have much business talk." Sold 70% of the business last July. What was the feeling the moment the money was wired? It was surreal. Want to honor Dad with 25 years of GRIT. Excellence defined: "It's continual learning. Wanting to get better. Think, what can I do better?" Creating a truth-telling culture: "Have to be willing to hear it and create a space where the truth is spoken." Life and career wisdom: "A career is not linear just like a marriage isn't. Have patience and live in the suck. Don't quit. There will be seasons of suck. Keep going."  

Choose a metric regarding the health, wealth, and fulfillment of men and it's easy to see that men are either falling drastically behind our female counterparts or, at a minimum, on a downward spiral. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a contest between the sexes (That would suggest that it's a zero-sum game. It's not). But it's a glimpse into modern man's gradual decline in his ability to protect, provide, and preside in his life and the lives of those he cares about. Matt Beaudreau joins me on the podcast today to talk about why this is the case and how our steady decline starts at a young age and inside the halls of academia. We talk about Trump's desire to shut down the Department of Education, how government and academia have distracted us from true learning, why you'll never find your purpose – you must forge it, living a life by design – not default, and the importance of the “Hero's Journey.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Episode Introduction 00:40 - Dismantling the Department of Education: A Good Move? 03:17 - Defining Success: Beyond Standardized Tests 07:13 - Should We Lower the Bar for Everyone? 10:55 - Do People Give Enough to Charity? 14:23 - How Crisis Brings Out the Best in People 17:44 - Creating Opportunities for Young Men 23:17 - A Bold Idea: Free Mentorship for Boys from Single-Mother Homes 27:10 - The Real Purpose of Education 31:27 - Why Men Feel Isolated and Alone 37:58 - Do Men Find Their Purpose, or Do They Forge It? 47:32 - The Natural Drive to Do More 53:30 - Learning from Personal Crisis: The Hero's Journey 54:14 - Fired Up: Turning an Idea into Action 56:17 - The Power of Intentionality in Men's Lives Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
