Podcasts about deadlines

What happens when you walk away from the big logo—and discover that your thought leadership gets sharper, not smaller? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with David Lancefield, host of Lancefield on the Line podcast, a strategy coach to CEOs, C-suite leaders, and founders who has advised more than 50 CEOs and hundreds of executives over three decades. David writes on strategy, leadership, and culture for outlets like Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan, and he's deeply focused on what strategy looks like in practice, not just on slides.  David breaks down what thought leadership actually does when it's done well: it differentiates you, attracts the right conversations, and creates a platform for real debate. But he's equally blunt about what it becomes when it's done poorly—a "glorified brochure" sitting on top of a product. If you've ever wondered why some "insights" feel alive and others feel like marketing copy, this is the distinction.  You'll hear how David approaches thought leadership now that it's tied to his name, not a firm's brand. He's intent on building a credible voice in a cluttered marketplace by staying rooted in the work he cares most about: strategy as an operating system for day-to-day decisions, leadership behaviors that actually move outcomes, and culture as a lever—not a poster. His writing isn't just content. It's credentialing. It's a signal. And yes, it drives leads—though he's candid about the reality: quality varies, and discernment matters.  The conversation also goes deep on collaboration as a serious thought leadership growth strategy. David argues that one voice is rarely enough anymore—and that co-creating with the right partner can make 1+1=3, if you do it intentionally. He lays out what "good collaboration" looks like: shared premise, distinct lenses, complementary audiences, and—most importantly—operating standards. Deadlines. Quality. Mutual ownership. No babysitting. No chaos. Just professional chemistry that produces better ideas faster.  Finally, David unpacks a subtle but important shift many leaders miss when they move from institution to independence: the definition of "enough." Inside big organizations, "enough" rarely exists—there's always another growth target, another push, another rung. Outside, you can reverse-engineer your needs, design your capacity, and choose work that fits your life without losing intensity or impact. It's not about working less. It's about working with agency. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought leadership is either a differentiator—or a brochure. At its best, it creates a platform for debate, positions you as an originator, and connects directly to real services and outcomes. At its worst, it's "a glorified brochure on top of a product."  • Independence forces clarity on your voice, not your résumé. When you leave the big brand, people care less about who you were and more about who you are now—and what you stand for. Your writing becomes proof of credibility, not just content.  • Collaboration can be a growth strategy—if your operating standards match. The upside is 1+1=3: shared premise, complementary lenses, expanded audiences. The risk is misalignment on deadlines, quality, and effort—so you have to set expectations early like pros. If you liked David Lancefield's take on credibility and differentiation, listen to Episode 9 with Charles H. Green ("The Trusted Advisor").  Charles shows how trust is the real engine that turns thought leadership into better conversations, faster decisions, and stronger client relationships. It's the perfect companion to David's message: don't just sound smart—become the advisor buyers believe and choose.

The ransom narrative in the Nancy Guthrie case has collapsed. Both deadlines passed. The Bitcoin wallet listed in the demand — six million dollars — has never recorded a single transaction. The Guthrie family publicly said they would pay, and nobody came to collect. One demand was already confirmed as a hoax, with Derrick Callella of Hawthorne, California charged federally after admitting he sent fake texts to the family. He has no connection to the actual disappearance.Nancy Guthrie, the eighty-four-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing from her Tucson-area home since early February 1, 2026. Her blood was confirmed on the porch. Her doorbell camera went offline at 1:47 AM. Her pacemaker stopped syncing around 2 AM. Phone, wallet, car, heart medication — all left behind. The sheriff believes she was taken against her will. No suspects have been identified.On True Crime Today, we dig into what happens to a case like this when you remove the ransom. The FBI doesn't even track adult kidnapping-for-ransom as a separate crime category — it's that rare. Stranger abductions of elderly victims have virtually no statistical precedent. And the data on cases that push past the first week with no suspect, no proof of life, and no direct captor contact paints a picture nobody wants to see but everyone should understand.We also break down the investigative movements — where authorities have been searching, what they've been seizing, and why the physical pattern of this investigation suggests a tightening focus rather than an expanding one. All individuals remain presumed innocent. No suspects named. But the numbers and the evidence trail both have something to say.If you have information about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #MissingPersons #BitcoinRansom #Tucson #RansomHoax #CrimeData #ElderlyAbductionJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Josh Simons has been building businesses since most kids were just building sandcastles. Lemonade stands. Go-karts he leased out. Hustles that taught him early how money moves and how people work.At 17, Josh dropped out of school and made a feature film, not just for fun, but as a real business. Budgets. Hiring. Deadlines. Pressure. It was his first crash course in entrepreneurship, and it burned him out just as fast as it lit him up. In his early twenties, he hit reset mowing lawns, cleaning toilets, and actually living life for a minute.Then music pulled him back in. Josh started a band and naturally ran the business behind it too. That's when he saw a massive gap in the industry: musicians had platforms to stream, monetize, and build audiences… but nowhere to actually connect. LinkedIn wasn't built for creatives.So he built what didn't exist.VAMPR - the “Tinder for musicians.” A hyper-granular networking platform that grew to over 1.7 million users and changed how artists collaborate globally. That success eventually led to a strategic exit into Australia's public music tech ecosystem with Vinyl Group, turning VAMPR into part of a broader music technology portfolio.But Josh's real superpower isn't just ideation, it's evolution. He knows teams change as companies scale. Skillsets shift. Ego gets shelved. Transparency wins.From bootstrap hustle to tech exits, Josh Simons proves one thing: the path isn't clean but resilience compounds. And the entrepreneurs who survive the dark chapters are the ones who end up rewriting industries.Subscribe to Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to like, share and follow on Instagram and TikTok.And remember, youth is your power.

When I founded the public relations agency NATA PR in 2000, the Internet already existed… but it was not at the center of our strategies.Relationships with journalists were very real: phone calls, in-person meetings, physical press conferences, and printed press kits.We spoke to humans.We built relationships over time.Credibility came from proximity.Then the Internet arrived as an accelerator.Media databases, email, and corporate websites completely changed the speed of execution.No more waiting for a press release to be printed and mailed.We could reach more journalists, faster.But slowly, the virtual world began to take up all the space.And that's where, in my opinion, something was lost: the quality of relationships, replaced by quantity and speed.Today, after 25 years, I'm noticing an interesting shift:• we're returning to the real world• we're even talking about a comeback of analog — yes, cassette tapes are making a return!Effective public relations still — and always — rely on human relationships, even in a digital world.The Internet did not replace public relations.It forced them to become more strategic.Dematerialization and online reading: what happened on the media sideIf there is one industry that has been profoundly transformed, it's the media.In the early 2000s, print media still dominated.Magazines, newspapers, and specialized sections were pillars of the industry.A printed article had a long lifespan and could even end up in national archives.Then dematerialization arrived.Newsrooms shrank.Journalists became multi-skilled. Today, they often cover multiple topics, whereas in the past, journalists were highly specialized in very specific fields: classical music, dance, visual arts, and more.Deadlines became shorter.The pressure to produce content continuously set in.For public relations, this changed one fundamental thing: we no longer pitch a story simply because it's "interesting," we pitch stories that are useful, relevant, and quickly publishable.Today, a strong press release must be clear, well-structured, and ready for publication online.It must consider SEO, angle, headline, and quotes.Public relations has moved closer to content, and that's a good thing.After 25 years, one thing is clear to me:Tools change. Platforms evolve.But the core of public relations remains the same.Defining the story that could potentially make the headlines. Understanding what will interest journalists. And knowing when to communicate.So much more to say…I'll continue this reflection in the next episode, my PR friends.Curious to learn more about what public relations can do for you?Contact me: nata@natapr.comNata6-STEP GUIDE TO PRESS RELEASES THAT SELL ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/pl/2147718415JOIN OUR MAILING LIST ➤ www.natapr.comTHE FREE NATA PR MODEL ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/Nata-PR-ModelINSTAGRAM ➤ https://www.instagram.com/nata_pr_school/

Imagine this. You just wrapped a kickoff meeting.The room was energized. Heads were nodding. People were engaged.Someone even said, “This is exactly what we needed.”You walk out thinking, We're finally aligned. And then… the meeting ends.Everyone goes back to their inbox. Client work takes over. Slack lights up. Deadlines resurface. And within days—sometimes hours—something shifts.Not because the vision wasn't strong.Not because people didn't care. But because reality returned—and the pace of the business reasserted itself.This isn't a people problem. It's a leadership moment.Today, I want to unpack why vision so often loses momentum after the meeting—and what great leaders do differently to make sure it doesn't.

Not everything that asks for your energy gets it anymore.In this episode of the Magic Made Podcast, Megan Holly gets real about boundaries, capacity, and what it looks like to stop living as a default “yes person.” If you've ever said yes and immediately felt resentment, pressure, or guilt, this conversation is your gentle (and slightly spicy) permission slip to do things differently.Megan explores the idea that energy is a resource, not an obligation, and how learning to listen to your body can help you make clearer decisions in business, relationships, and everyday life. Because sometimes our brains will try to convince us that overgiving equals being more worthy or more lovable, but your nervous system knows the truth faster than your mind can narrate it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why overcommitting often turns into resentment (and burnout)How to release guilt around your capacity (because it fluctuates!)The difference between excitement, anxiety, and pressureHow ignoring physical cues creates a “pressure cooker” effectWhy your worth is not tied to productivity, output, or being helpfulHow boundaries create a ripple effect for everyone around youKey takeaways + reminders:Your capacity isn't fixed. You're not broken if it changes.Self-judgment is a terrible coach. It makes the worst spaghetti.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Zach Golden walks through how contractors can use OpnGovIQ to break down an RFP quickly and avoid falling behind as opportunities begin dropping faster and deadlines shrink. He explains how uploading key documents like the PWS and price schedule can instantly generate a compliance matrix, helping businesses identify exactly what the government is asking for before wasting weeks on the wrong bid. Zach also highlights the importance of spotting early "beige flags," like difficult overnight staffing shifts or specialized medical cleaning requirements inside VA hospital environments. Instead of bidding blindly, this approach allows contractors to make smarter bid/no-bid decisions, understand evaluation factors beyond lowest price, and prepare stronger proposals with confidence and speed. Key Takeaways OpnGovIQ helps contractors evaluate RFP requirements fast by building a submission matrix from uploaded documents. Deadlines are shortening and opportunities are accelerating, so speed in bid/no-bid decisions is now a competitive advantage. Specialized requirements (medical spaces, surgical suites, shift coverage) must be flagged early before committing to a proposal.

BOSSes host Anne Ganguzza is joined by co-host Lau Lapides and special guest Carol Alpert (voice actor and on-camera coach) to tackle the industry's most persistent headache: the inability of talent to follow instructions. Whether it's ignoring age ranges in casting specs, butchering file naming, or losing patience during a live session, failing to follow the "rules" of an audition is the fastest way to get your file tossed. The hosts stress that being a "trained actor" means being disciplined enough to read between the lines and respect the client's process. The Casting Filter: Why 70% Get Ditched (01:48) Lau Lapides reveals a shocking statistic: in a recent casting for 35–45 year olds, 70% of the auditions were from talent clearly outside that age range. Agents use specs to filter talent quickly; if you submit for a role you clearly don't fit, you are essentially asking to be ignored. Following the demographic specs is the first step in following directions in voiceover. The File Naming Pet Peeve (07:04) Proper file naming is not just a suggestion; it's a structural necessity. When an agent or casting assistant is processing hundreds of files, an incorrectly named file can disrupt their entire workflow. Lau notes that talent often doesn't see the "assembly line" of 10–40 people involved in a single gig; naming your file correctly shows you respect their time. "Early is On Time": The Reality of Deadlines (11:12) While some pay-to-play sites are instantaneous, agency turnarounds are often measured in hours. Lau asserts that the strongest auditions usually come in within the first few hours of a posting. Being "trained" means having the discipline to interpret, record, and execute an audition professionally and quickly without procrastinating. Cold Reading and Tracking Skills (13:05) A common reason talent fail to follow directions is a lack of ocular tracking skills. Many people listen to content rather than reading it, leading to a decline in the ability to scan a script and pick up nuances quickly. The hosts recommend cold-reading classes to ensure your eyes can track words and directions simultaneously. Live Direction: Active Listening and Communication (31:09) During a live directed session, following instructions becomes a matter of active listening. Lau recommends repeating directions back to the client to ensure clarity. She also warns that talent are often replaced not because of their voice, but because of a poor attitude or lack of patience when being redirected. The "Relationship" Slope: Business vs. Contract (41:23) While it's important to stick to contracts, the hosts discuss the value of being cooperative. Doing an extra tag or a small favor can "earn" you a client for the next ten years. It's about weighing small battles versus the long-term war of building a sustainable career through professional relationships.   Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Read the Specs Twice: Ensure you fit the age, gender, and ethnicity requirements before stepping into the booth. Master File Naming: Follow the naming convention provided exactly. It is the most common reason auditions are discarded without being heard. Early is Best: While you should never rush quality, aim to submit your audition as early as possible to capture the agent's attention. Practice Cold Reading: Maintain your ocular tracking skills by reading aloud for at least 15 minutes a day to stay sharp for quick turnarounds. Listen and Repeat: In directed sessions, repeat the client's instructions back to them to confirm you understand the requested adjustment. Silence Your Ego: If a client asks for 100 takes, provide them professionally. Frustration or an "attitude" is a faster way to get fired than a bad take. Check Your Tech: Before a live session, verify that SourceConnect and your DAW are updated and functioning. Technical failures are a failure to follow prep instructions. The Agent is the Middleman: Don't get annoyed if your agent doesn't have every answer; they copy and paste exactly what the client gives them. Interpret, Don't Just Comprehend: Moving beyond just "reading the words" to understanding the story is part of your professional instruction. Build the Relationship: Being cooperative and "easy to work with" is often more valuable to a client than being the most talented person in the room.

What happens when college sports operate without anyone truly in charge?Exactly what you're seeing now.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two developments that point to a looming breakdown in college athletics — and neither one has a clean solution.Norm begins with a court ruling involving former Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako, who declared for the NBA Draft, went undrafted, played professionally, and is now seeking to return to college basketball. A judge has temporarily ruled that the NCAA cannot stop him. Norm explains why this isn't just about one player — it's about the precedent. If this door stays open, what stops waves of undrafted football and basketball players from attempting pro careers, failing, and then pouring back into college sports with eligibility intact?From there, Norm pivots to college football's playoff mess. Despite widespread agreement that a 16-team playoff would have fixed most of this year's problems, the SEC and Big Ten failed — again — to reach consensus. Instead, financial motivations, conference power plays, and a proposed 24-team playoff loaded with byes killed progress. The result: a flawed 12-team system that left deserving programs out while frustrating fans who just want fairness and clarity.Throughout the episode, Norm returns to one central theme: the NCAA is powerless, university presidents won't act, and conferences are chasing money at the expense of the sport itself. When no one's willing to lead, chaos isn't a surprise — it's the outcome.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about chaos coming to college sports00:01:38 – The Charles Bediako case and a dangerous precedent00:02:23 – Declaring for the NBA too early — and wanting back in00:03:12 – A judge says the NCAA can't stop it00:04:00 – What happens if this ruling holds00:05:00 – Undrafted players returning to college football00:05:58 – “We are talking chaos here”00:06:57 – The NCAA as a toothless tiger00:07:48 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:08:25 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:09:10 – Why this year's College Football Playoff failed00:10:11 – Why a 16-team playoff made sense00:11:20 – The Big Ten's 24-team proposal and money motives00:12:20 – Why 24 teams is “way too clumsy”00:13:16 – Deadlines missed and progress stalled00:14:03 – Remembering the four-team playoff disaster00:14:52 – Power brokers vs. fans and the sport itself00:15:16 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:16:08 – Final sign-offCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

His innovative technology, capable of analyzing dozens of biomarkers from a single drop of blood, was tested aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In today's episode, Eugene shared the remarkable journey of rHEALTH, from competing with top companies for a NASA partnership to launching its device into space.What sets rHEALTH apart is its proven reliability in extreme conditions, including the zero-gravity environment of space. Eugene explained, “We tested this technology on the International Space Station with astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who operated the device and obtained precise values from single drops of sample. They did the analysis using our device and got absolutely the right answers.” This achievement underlines the robustness and accuracy of rHEALTH's technology, qualities that distinguish it from other attempts at single-drop blood diagnostics.Unlike Theranos, which famously failed to deliver on similar promises, rHEALTH's technology has been rigorously vetted. Eugene highlighted the grueling process of earning NASA's trust. “To be the one company selected to demonstrate our novel technology on the ISS was a huge undertaking,” he said. He recounted the intense competition and NASA's exacting standards, which included testing the device's functionality during zero-gravity parabolic flights.Now, Eugene and his team are bringing this groundbreaking technology to the public with a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “You don't have to be a Silicon Valley elite or a Boston venture capitalist to participate,” I noted during the episode. With this campaign, everyday investors have the opportunity to support a proven technology poised to revolutionize healthcare.The implications of rHEALTH's success are profound. If it works in space, it can work in remote clinics, underserved communities, and even in people's homes. This technology has the potential to make diagnostics more accessible, empowering individuals to take control of their health.Eugene's vision, combined with rHEALTH's proven track record, makes this an exciting investment opportunity. Visit StartEngine to learn more and become part of this revolutionary journey.tl;dr:Eugene Chan shared how rHEALTH's diagnostic technology was tested and proven aboard the International Space Station.He explained the rigorous process of competing with other companies to secure NASA's trust.rHEALTH's crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine makes investing in this revolutionary technology accessible to all.Eugene highlighted the importance of his North Star: improving human health with innovative solutions.He shared advice on maintaining focus and using challenges as opportunities to achieve big goals.How to Develop Staying Focused on a North Star As a SuperpowerEugene's superpower is his ability to maintain a relentless focus on his “North Star”—the overarching goal of improving human health. As he explained, “The North Star has always been to improve the human condition and help us improve human health.” For Eugene, this guiding principle has driven his work through challenges, from competing for NASA's attention to developing groundbreaking diagnostic technology.One illustrative story of this superpower came during a pivotal moment in Eugene's career. While competing in the XPRIZE competition, he found himself grappling with a flawed prototype. It was during this time, sitting at his wife's bedside after the birth of their child, that the concept for rHEALTH's current device was born. Combining the pressure of the competition, the inspiration of his newborn daughter, and his unwavering focus on creating a robust solution, Eugene developed the technology that would later achieve success in space.Eugene also shared actionable tips for developing this superpower:Identify your personal North Star—a goal or mission that deeply resonates with you.Let that North Star guide your decisions, especially during challenging times.Stay committed to your mission, even when facing setbacks or obstacles.Use external pressures, like deadlines or competitions, to fuel innovation and progress.By following Eugene's example and advice, you can make staying focused on a North Star a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEugene Chan (he/him):CEO, Founder, rHEALTHAbout rHEALTH: rHEALTH has worked with NASA to develop a miniaturized diagnostic test system to keep astronauts healthy on the way to Mars. We have successfully tested this onboard the International Space Station and published the results in Nature Communications, demonstrating results from blood in minutes in extreme environments. The technology shrinks a central clinical lab and a team of doctors in a form suitable for everyday use. Comprehensive lab-quality analysis can be performed by anyone, fundamentally shifting diagnostics from centralized facilities to the point-of-care and homes. The focus is to usher in Diagnostics 2.0, allowing high-value multiplexed diagnostics.Website: rhealth.comOther URL: startengine.com/offering/rhealthBiographical Information: Dr. Chan is a physician-inventor. He is currently Founder, CEO of rHEALTH, and President, CSO of DNA Medicine Institute, a medical innovation laboratory.

The college football season may be over, but the business of the sport is booming. Super agent Hadley Engelhardt and Matt Chernoff break down how Curt Cignetti took Indiana from the bottom of college football to a national championship — and a nearly $15 million payday. What does that kind of financial leap mean in the NIL and transfer portal era, and is Indiana’s run a blueprint or a perfect storm? The guys also dive into the College Football Playoff money machine, including sky-high ticket prices, nearly $250 million in postseason ad revenue, and what expansion to 16 teams could mean for TV networks, conferences, and fans. Plus, how academics and the transfer portal calendar may finally force real change. From there, it’s the NFL coaching carousel, where leverage, timing, and agents shape decisions — including why Atlanta moved fast to hire Kevin Stefanski. Finally, the business of baseball takes center stage with the Dodgers’ latest blockbuster: Kyle Tucker’s $240 million deal, complete with deferrals, opt-outs, and big implications for parity and the next MLB CBA.

Welcome back to Is It Worth It?, the show where Logan bravely sacrifices his free time, sanity, and occasionally his snacks—just so YOU don't waste two hours on a movie you'll regret. Today we're diving into “The Roses” (2025)… a film that has the internet saying everything from “cinematic masterpiece” to “I've never been so emotionally confused in my life.”In today's episode, we break down:

Planning is what stops "good intentions" turning into chaos. When teams skip planning, they don't just risk missing the deadline — they risk building the wrong thing, burning budget, and exhausting people on rework. A repeatable planning process keeps everyone aligned on outcomes, realities, actions, timelines, resources, and risks, so execution becomes calmer and faster. What is the planning process and why does it matter? The planning process is a repeatable way to define the outcome, map reality, set goals, design action steps, set timelines, allocate resources, plan contingencies, and track progress. It matters because most teams jump straight into the nitty gritty — meetings, tasks, and urgent emails — and mistake motion for progress. Post-pandemic (2020–2026), that "rush to action" has intensified as organisations face tighter budgets, hybrid teams, and faster competitive cycles. In multinationals (think Toyota-scale) you'll see more structure — governance, stage gates, and risk reviews — while SMEs and startups often rely on speed and intuition. Both can win, but both fail when they don't define "finished" early. In Japan, planning can be stronger in discipline but weaker in challenge if people copy seniors; in the US, planning can be faster but thinner if teams overvalue action. Do now: Write one sentence: "We will deliver ___ by ___ so that ___ improves." What is the first step in planning a project? The first step is defining the desired outcome so everyone shares the same destination. If the outcome is vague ("improve customer service"), the plan becomes a debate and execution becomes random. Better outcomes are specific, measurable, and tied to customer impact: reduce onboarding from 14 days to 3, cut defects by 20%, lift renewal rates by 5% by Q3. This is where leaders must "sell" the outcome, not just announce it. People aren't robots; they need to see why it matters, how it connects to strategy, and what trade-offs it requires. Use familiar frameworks to sharpen the outcome: SMART goals, OKRs (Objective + Key Results), or a simple "metric + deadline + owner." Consumer businesses may prioritise speed and experience; B2B firms may prioritise reliability and risk. Do now: Define 3 success measures (metric, deadline, owner) for your outcome. How do you assess the current situation before making a plan? You assess the current situation by establishing a clear baseline with facts, not opinions. You can't plan the route if you don't agree on the starting point. Capture the "as-is" reality: cycle time, backlog size, defect rate, conversion rate, churn, staffing capacity, supplier constraints, approval bottlenecks — whatever defines today's performance. Big firms may pull dashboards and market intelligence; smaller firms may rely on interviews and spreadsheets. Either works if it's accurate. This step prevents the classic argument later: "Did we actually improve?" It also exposes hidden constraints early (for example, a dependency on one overworked specialist, or a vendor lead time that makes your timeline impossible). Across cultures, the trap is the same: assumptions feel efficient until they prove expensive. Do now: List 10 baseline facts and agree: "This is our starting line." How should leaders set goals that actually get achieved? Leaders set achievable goals by breaking big targets into a hierarchy and translating them into weekly and daily units. A goal that can't be converted into actions is just a wish. Start with the outcome, then cascade: quarterly goals → monthly milestones → weekly targets → daily actions. Be realistic about constraints. Startups may set aggressive targets and iterate fast; regulated industries or complex global teams may need more conservative targets because governance, procurement, and compliance add time. In Japan, goal-setting can suffer if people avoid challenging targets to preserve harmony; in the US, it can suffer if targets are ambitious but under-resourced. Either way, align goals with capability, prioritise ruthlessly, and make ownership explicit. Do now: Build a "goal ladder" and assign one accountable owner per milestone. What makes action steps and time frames workable in the real world? Workable action steps name the work, the owner, the sequence, the dependencies, and the barriers — then lock them to real deadlines. This is where plans often collapse: the intent is clear, but the execution design is missing. Strong planning includes task allocation, coordination across teams, sequencing (what must happen first), supervision cadence, and known blockers. Then you set time frames that people respect by tying dates to deliverables, not vibes. Tools like a simple milestone calendar, a Gantt chart for complex work, or Agile sprints/Kanban for flow-based work can help — but the tool won't save you if "done" isn't defined. Deadlines should be explicit, shared, and reviewed, especially in hybrid teams spread across time zones. Do now: For each major step, write: owner, dependency, "definition of done," and due date. How do you plan resources, contingencies, and tracking so the plan survives surprises? Plans survive reality when they include honest resourcing, built-in contingencies, and simple tracking that warns you early. Resource planning isn't just budget — it's people, time, tools, approvals, and opportunity cost (what you stop doing to fund this). Under-counting resources creates rework and burnout. Contingencies turn "panic later" into "prepared now." Identify the top risks — supplier delays, staffing gaps, tech dependencies, scope creep — and pre-decide responses. Then track essentials: a few leading indicators (early warnings like backlog growth or missed handoffs) and lagging indicators (results like cost, quality, customer impact). This is classic PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act): plan carefully, execute, check frequently, and adjust fast. Do now: Define 3 risks with "If X happens, we will do Y by Z," plus 3 leading indicators to review weekly. Conclusion The planning process is not paperwork — it's how leaders create clarity, speed, and accountability.

My guest on today's episode, James Copple, the President of Servant Forge and founder of The Freedom Fast, is a leader committed to fostering unity through actionable change. James's work in police reform and civic engagement offers a blueprint for addressing systemic issues and healing divides within our communities.James shared a compelling example of how his work has impacted the nation. Six months before the murder of George Floyd, James and his team produced a report in Minnesota on police use of deadly force. “It was about policing procedure and protocol,” James explained, sharing how their research highlighted the urgent need for de-escalation training. Following Floyd's death, James and his team were invited back to help implement their recommendations, working with policymakers to improve training and minimize future tragedies.One of James's newest initiatives, The Freedom Fast, aims to address the country's growing polarization. Inspired by historical calls for national fasting during the Continental Congress, the Freedom Fast encourages Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of service. “We're calling for a sacred pause for civic renewal,” James said. “It's about recapturing the values that brought us together as a country and influenced our civic discourse.”James's vision is rooted in the belief that dialogue is key to progress. “Getting people in the same room, even when they don't agree, is essential,” he shared. This approach—proximity and listening—has been central to his work, from police reform projects in Minneapolis and Kenya to initiatives aimed at reducing gender-based violence in East Africa.If you're inspired by James's vision and want to be part of the solution, visit TheFreedomFast.us to learn more. By taking part in this initiative, we can collectively work toward a more unified, compassionate, and equitable future.tl;dr:James Copple reveals key insights from his work on police reform and de-escalation training.The Freedom Fast calls for Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of civic renewal.James emphasizes the importance of bringing people together to solve problems through dialogue.Stories from Kenya and Minneapolis illustrate how dialogue can drive meaningful change.James shares tips for fostering civility and connection, including listening and creating proximity.How to Develop Facilitating Dialogue As a SuperpowerJames's superpower lies in bringing people together to solve difficult problems through dialogue and understanding. As he explained, “Getting people in the same room and getting them to agree to have the conversation” is vital. He emphasized the importance of listening, saying, “Listening is a form of fasting… to surrender my own principles and values for a few moments to listen to another person's perspective.” This ability to foster connection and encourage open discussions has been central to James's work in both the U.S. and globally.James shared a powerful example from his work in Kenya, where 70% of women believed men had a right to hit them. He brought together male leaders from universities and businesses with women's advocacy groups to discuss gender-based violence. This dialogue led to concrete solutions like including women in decision-making processes and leadership roles. James's ability to create proximity and facilitate understanding directly contributed to meaningful change in a community struggling with entrenched cultural norms.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Engage and Be Present: Show up for conversations, even when topics are difficult or divisive.Listen Actively: Dedicate time to truly hear others' perspectives without judgment or interruption.Foster Proximity: Create opportunities for people with differing views to engage in the same room.Sacrifice for the Greater Good: Be willing to let go of time, comfort, or preconceived notions to achieve progress.By following James's example and advice, you can make facilitating dialogue a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJames E Copple (he/him):President, Servant Forge/The Freedom FastAbout Servant Forge/The Freedom Fast: Servant Forge works with organizations to build their capacity to secure funding to help fulfill their mission.

Do you dread deadlines? Though they can feel constraining, deadlines sharpen focus and give you permission to cut out all distractions. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff share insights on how entrepreneurs can rethink deadlines and use them strategically to accomplish their goals. Show Notes: Some people aren't clear about what they actually want to control, yet they still try to control everything.Deadlines are valuable, but they need to be realistic. It's important to understand what can—and can't—be accomplished within a given time frame.Your past experience is one of the best indicators of whether a deadline is achievable.A clear deadline gives you permission to focus on one thing at a time. Without a firm deadline, distractions tend to creep in and slow progress.When focusing on the project is your only option, your productivity increases dramatically.What looks like procrastination may sometimes be preparation—thinking through the next best action.Watching others grow can be uncomfortable for people who aren't growing themselves.Making money is one skill; knowing how to keep it is another.Resources: “Your Business Is A Theater Production: Your Back Stage Shouldn't Show On The Front Stage” Casting Not Hiring by Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff Learn more about Jeffrey Madoff Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach®

Joshua Resnikoff, CEO and Cofounder of Sunstone Health, has been there. His middle child's years-long fight for a diagnosis inspired him to tackle this systemic inefficiency with AI-powered innovation.Sunstone Health uses AI to analyze healthcare claims data, identifying children who may have genetic conditions, like pediatric epilepsy or autism, and accelerating their path to diagnosis and care. “On average right now, it takes seven years for a family to go from first symptom to a care path that works for them,” Joshua explained in today's episode. “We can take that seven-year process and condense it down into 12 weeks.”This groundbreaking approach provides a win-win solution for families and health plans alike. By identifying patterns in data, Sunstone Health not only helps families avoid the “diagnostic odyssey” of endless referrals but also reduces healthcare costs. “Ultimately, we are saving the plans, the insurance, the employers—whoever is the financial backstop for that family—a lot of money,” Joshua said.The company's innovative model charges health plans only when results are delivered, making it a no-risk decision for employers looking to improve care while managing costs. Sunstone Health has already touched the lives of nearly half a million people through partnerships with health plans, scaling rapidly since its pilot phase.In addition to changing lives, Sunstone Health is raising capital via regulation crowdfunding on Wefunder. This community round allows families and supporters to invest in the company's vision alongside professional investors. “We opened up a few hundred thousand dollars so families could join our mission,” Joshua shared. The campaign has been so successful that Sunstone Health has reopened the round to accommodate more investors.This episode highlights the power of technology and mission-driven innovation to solve seemingly intractable problems. With AI and dedication, Joshua and his team are transforming the lives of families navigating the challenges of rare diseases.tl;dr:Joshua shared how his personal experience inspired Sunstone Health's AI-powered diagnostic solution for rare diseases.Sunstone Health condenses the average 7-year diagnostic process into just 12 weeks for families.The innovative model benefits families and health plans by aligning financial incentives with better care.Sunstone Health is raising capital through regulation crowdfunding, welcoming families and investors to join its mission.Joshua's resilience, driven by optimism and grit, has been key to Sunstone's success and growth.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerJoshua identified resilience—what he calls “grit”—as his defining superpower. He explained, “To do something like this, it just takes a lot of resilience and determination.” Building a company to tackle the systemic inefficiencies in healthcare required overcoming countless challenges. From skeptics who dismissed the problem as “too big to solve” to navigating obstacles in scaling Sunstone Health, Joshua's perseverance has been key. He shared, “There are going to be such deeply dark and frustrating times as a founder…you just have to stay optimistic.”Joshua's resilience was evident early in life when he taught himself to code in BASIC as a child, spending hours figuring out how to make things work. Later, while working full-time as a biomedical engineer at Harvard, he co-founded a company that unexpectedly went viral, selling eco-friendly travel mugs featured on Oprah's blog and in the New York Times. Despite juggling two demanding roles, he stayed determined and made both endeavors successful.Tips for Developing Resilience:Stay Optimistic: Focus on opportunities rather than obstacles, even in challenging situations.Pursue What You Love: Work on projects that deeply resonate with you to sustain motivation through tough times.Embrace Determination: Commit to pushing through difficulties with persistence and grit.Learn from Challenges: View setbacks as opportunities to grow and improve.By following Joshua's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

By analyzing health system data to identify early patterns of developmental complexity, Sunstone helps guide children toward clearer next steps while supporting families through what is often a long and confusing journey. The result is earlier clarity for families, more coordinated care for clinicians, and meaningful cost reduction for employers—without disrupting existing care or asking families to wait when the signs are already there.Website: sunstonehealth.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/SunstoneHealthOfficialCompany Twitter Handle: @Sunstone_HealthOther URL: wefunder.com/sunstone.healthBiographical Information: Biomedical engineer and entrepreneur in translational science and consumer products. 14 patents, work showcased in national news, and has scaled businesses to >3000x ROI.

Story Transcript:Nl: De ochtendlucht was koud en helder toen Bastiaan het kantoor binnenstapte.En: The morning air was cold and clear as Bastiaan stepped into the office.Nl: Hij trok zijn wollen sjaal strakker om zijn nek en groette de receptioniste met een knikje.En: He pulled his woolen scarf tighter around his neck and greeted the receptionist with a nod.Nl: De strakke, moderne inrichting van het kantoor straalde efficiëntie uit, met glazen wanden en intieme vergaderhoeken.En: The sleek, modern design of the office exuded efficiency, with glass walls and intimate meeting corners.Nl: Hier, in het hart van de stad, draaide alles om werk.En: Here, in the heart of the city, everything revolved around work.Nl: Bastiaan was een toegewijde projectmanager.En: Bastiaan was a dedicated project manager.Nl: Hij hield van structuur en deadlines.En: He loved structure and deadlines.Nl: Maar diep van binnen voelde hij zich eenzaam en verlangde hij naar iets meer.En: But deep inside, he felt lonely and longed for something more.Nl: Hij liep naar het koffieapparaat, een plek waar collega's vaak samenkwamen voor een praatje.En: He walked over to the coffee machine, a place where colleagues often gathered for a chat.Nl: Daar stond Anouk.En: There stood Anouk.Nl: Ze was nieuw, een vrolijke stagiaire die nog haar plekje binnen de bedrijfscultuur probeerde te vinden.En: She was new, a cheerful intern still trying to find her place within the company culture.Nl: Met een kop dampende koffie in haar handen, keek ze op en glimlachte naar Bastiaan.En: With a steaming cup of coffee in her hands, she looked up and smiled at Bastiaan.Nl: "Hoi Bastiaan," zei ze met een vriendelijke stem.En: "Hi Bastiaan," she said in a friendly voice.Nl: "Hoe gaat het met je werk vandaag?"En: "How's your work going today?"Nl: "Druk, zoals altijd," antwoordde Bastiaan met een zucht, maar zijn ogen twinkelden.En: "Busy, as always," replied Bastiaan with a sigh, but his eyes twinkled.Nl: "En hoe bevalt het jou hier?"En: "And how are you finding it here?"Nl: "Het is een beetje overweldigend," gaf Anouk toe, "maar iedereen is heel behulpzaam."En: "It's a bit overwhelming," admitted Anouk, "but everyone is very helpful."Nl: Hun gesprekken werden een dagelijks ritueel.En: Their conversations became a daily ritual.Nl: Terwijl de winter voortduurde, ontdekte Bastiaan dat hij naar deze bijeenkomsten uitkeek.En: As winter continued, Bastiaan found himself looking forward to these meetings.Nl: Maar hij was ook nerveus.En: But he was also nervous.Nl: Werkplekrelaties waren vaak ingewikkeld en het bedrijf had strikte regels.En: Workplace relationships were often complicated, and the company had strict rules.Nl: Hij twijfelde.En: He hesitated.Nl: Sofie, een collega van Bastiaan, merkte hun interacties op en sprak hem onder vier ogen.En: Sofie, a colleague of Bastiaan, noticed their interactions and spoke to him privately.Nl: "Denk goed na, Bastiaan," waarschuwde ze.En: "Think it over carefully, Bastiaan," she warned.Nl: "Het kan lastig worden, zowel persoonlijk als professioneel."En: "It can get tricky, both personally and professionally."Nl: Bastiaan was dankbaar voor haar woorden maar bleef bij zijn beslissing.En: Bastiaan was grateful for her words but stood by his decision.Nl: Hij zou het rustig aan doen, eerst de diepte van hun band peilen.En: He would take it slow, first gauging the depth of their bond.Nl: En zo kwamen de casual gesprekken, vol verhalen over boeken en muziek, voort.En: And so, the casual conversations, full of stories about books and music, continued.Nl: Het kwam tot een hoogtepunt tijdens een team-building evenement, gehouden in een nabijgelegen conferentiecentrum.En: It culminated during a team-building event held at a nearby conference center.Nl: Ze deden mee aan een workshop over creativiteit.En: They participated in a workshop on creativity.Nl: Bastiaan en Anouk, partners voor een opdracht, ontdekten hun gedeelde liefde voor kunst.En: Bastiaan and Anouk, partners for an assignment, discovered their shared love for art.Nl: "Ik wist niet dat je zo van schilderen hield," zei Anouk opgewonden.En: "I didn't know

Awe has a way of fading when life gets crowded. Deadlines, responsibilities, and endless distractions can dull our awareness of the beauty that surrounds us every day. This devotional invites us to return to wonder—through the kind of attentive noticing that poetry captures so well. Poetry helps us slow down, see more deeply, and reconnect with meaning. And in a similar way, creation can become a doorway back into worship when our hearts feel tired or uninspired. The devotional points to the psalms as a reminder that awe is not a modern idea—it’s part of a long, sacred practice. David, a poet himself, looked at the world around him and responded with gratitude and praise. Psalm 65 celebrates God’s provision and the beauty of nature from morning to evening. It’s a picture of a life that recognizes God’s hand in what’s growing, blooming, changing, and sustaining. Today’s encouragement is practical and gentle: if you feel stuck, underwhelmed, or overworked, plan a pause in nature. Take a walk. Study a single detail—a leaf, a shell, a butterfly, a creek—and let your senses wake up again to the reality that God is present and creative. Creation becomes a reminder that the Lord is still at work in ways we can’t always see, weaving fragile miracles into ordinary moments. Making space to be awestruck can cleanse the spirit, lift the heart, and restore faith—because awe reminds us that God is bigger than our burdens and more tender than we sometimes remember. Main Takeaways Awe can fade when life feels busy, heavy, or distracting—but it can be rekindled. Creation points us to God’s power, provision, and gentleness. The psalms model a life of noticing and responding with gratitude and worship. A simple pause in nature can restore perspective and renew faith. Paying attention to small details can become a spiritual practice of seeing God’s handiwork. Today’s Bible Verse:The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. - Psalm 65:8 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me find time to seek you in nature… Send me a beautiful sight or sound that radiates your glory.” Listen to hear the full prayer or read the devotional at the links below.

The platform, created by Prince Ace, is democratizing access to entertainment investments, allowing everyday people to invest in films, video games, and other media projects. By leveraging regulation crowdfunding, CineBlock Films empowers independent creators to raise capital directly from the crowd.“This is a marketplace that we created to allow everyday retail investors to be able to invest in entertainment media from the ground up or at distribution at any stage of the production process,” Prince explained. “This allows you to be a part of it, a meaningful part of the process, and invest in what you watch.”In today's episode, Prince shared how CineBlock Films is designed to remove traditional barriers in the entertainment industry. Historically, financing for films and media projects was often reserved for wealthy individuals or institutions, leaving independent creators struggling to secure funding. Prince emphasized that crowdfunding not only levels the playing field but also creates opportunities for creators to maintain autonomy and ownership of their work.“Instead of having one person give me a million dollars, I'd rather have 1,000 people give me $1,000,” Prince said. “Now I have 1,000 people that are an army, that are fans, that are engaged, that are going to champion this project and market it to all their social networks.”Prince Ace, Founder of CineBlock Films, will be speaking at SuperGreen Live, sharing insights on democratizing investment in films, media, and the creator economy through fintech innovation—register now at SuperGreenLive.orgWith CineBlock Films, investors can back projects that align with their values and interests.

Prince shared that his approach involves iterating on ideas, going back to fundamentals, and being open to feedback.Prince shared how he faced challenges in financing an independent film. Frustrated by the traditional “dog and pony show” of pitching to wealthy investors, he envisioned a solution: a crowdfunding platform for entertainment projects. By writing a white paper, seeking feedback, and assembling a talented team, Prince turned his vision into reality. The result was CineBlock Films, a platform that empowers creators and retail investors alike.Tips for Developing Problem-Solving Skills:Identify pain points and write them down to clarify the problem.Use a structured, iterative process to brainstorm solutions.Return to fundamentals when blocked to find a clear path forward.Seek feedback from others to gain new perspectives and refine ideas.Embrace pivots and remain open to alternative approaches.By following Prince's example and advice, you can make problem solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
