Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units Yvette's Summer Task List.Assessment is one of the most powerful tools teachers have—but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Too often, every task, activity, or game is expected to produce a grade, making it difficult to distinguish between supporting learning and evaluating it.What happens when we stop asking, "How do I grade this?" and start asking, "What can I learn from this?" In this episode, we explore the critical difference between formative and summative assessment, and why that distinction changes everything. You'll hear why games, observations, conversations, and exit tickets are powerful sources of evidence—not because they belong in the gradebook, but because they help teachers make better instructional decisions. We also discuss backward design, student ownership of learning, professional judgment, and the importance of building coherent assessment practices across classrooms and schools. In this episode, you'll explore:The difference between assessment for, as, and of learningWhy not every classroom activity should generate a gradeHow formative assessment informs instructional decisionsThe role of backward design in planning meaningful assessmentWhy professional judgment matters more than averaging marksHow collaborative conversations can strengthen assessment practices across a school or districtWays to build a stronger body of evidence for student learning over timeIf you're looking to move beyond grading everything and create assessment practices that truly support student learning, this episode will help you rethink the purpose of assessment and build greater confidence in using evidence to guide instruction.Show Notes PageLove the show?

What if undercharging has nothing to do with confidence… and everything to do with conditioning? In this episode, I'm digging into the psychology behind pricing fears and why so many talented service providers find themselves charging less than they're worth without even realising it.I share my own journey from charging £35 an hour for almost everything I did to finally feeling confident standing behind my prices. Along the way, I explore how our childhood experiences, corporate careers, and fear of rejection shape the way we price our offers today.Your brain naturally focuses on avoiding rejection rather than creating opportunity, and this can keep you trapped in an undercharging cycle. I explain why higher prices often signal higher quality to buyers and why charging less doesn't necessarily make your offers easier to sell.If pricing has been feeling heavy, awkward or confusing lately, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what's driving those fears. Because once you understand the psychology behind your pricing decisions, it becomes much easier to make them with confidence rather than fear.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing feels so emotional for so many service providersHow childhood, education and corporate life shape your money beliefsThe link between avoidance and underchargingWhy most business owners rely on guesswork when setting pricesHow people-pleasing influences your pricing decisionsThe first step towards pricing with confidence instead of fear"Undercharging isn't usually a maths problem. It's an avoidance behaviour."Mentioned in this episode:Join Rave Your Raves TodayStill undercharging?

There's no shortage of money info out there.

They look at the difference between general financial information, education, marketing, opinions and personalised advice - and why understanding the difference can help you make better financial decisions.This episode covers:The difference between general education, marketing, opinions and personalised financial adviceWhy social media can be a great place to learn about money, but not always the best place to rely on for making big financial decisionsThe rise of “finfluencers” - and what to watch out for when it comes to social money contentWhen it may be worth paying for financial advice rather than relying on general financial informationHow to find a financial adviser, including where to start and why it's worth checking their credentialsWhy fee-based, independent advice can be very different from the “free” advice that dominates the NZ finance industryThe red flags to watch for when it comes to financial information and advice (warning - it's getting easier and easier to get taken for a ride!)Resources mentioned in this episode:- Sorted – independent money guide with comparison tools and calculators: https://sorted.org.nz/- Financial Advice New Zealand (FANZ) – adviser directory: https://financialadvice.nz/FANZ/FANZ/Consumers/Find-an-Adviser.aspx- Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR) – check if an advisor is licensed: https://fsp-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/- MoneyHub – list of independent, fee-based financial advisers: https://www.moneyhub.co.nz/advisers-list.html- The Barefoot Investor (Scott Pape): https://www.barefootinvestor.com/This episode is a reminder that good money decisions don't usually come from one hot tip, one viral video, or one confident opinion.

Is the real reason you're underpaid your pricing model, or something much deeper?In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I wrap up our series on hourly billing versus design fees by exploring the real issue behind getting paid what you're worth: your relationship with money.Many designers believe switching from hourly billing to design fees will solve their profitability problems. But the truth is, neither pricing model works if you don't have healthy boundaries and the confidence to charge appropriately for your expertise.In this episode, I discuss how limiting money beliefs affect pricing decisions, why designers often discount their services without realizing it, and how childhood money stories continue to influence business decisions years later.We also talk about the importance of maintaining boundaries, receiving payment with confidence, creating a healthy exchange of value with clients, and replacing outdated beliefs that keep you underpaid.If you've been struggling to charge what you're worth, this episode will help you shift your mindset so you can confidently build a profitable design business.In this episode, we cover:Why pricing models alone won't solve underchargingHow money stories affect your business decisionsThe importance of strong client boundariesWhy designers discount themselves unnecessarilyChanging the language you use around moneyReceiving payment with confidenceCreating a healthy exchange of valueRecognizing and overcoming scarcity thinkingRewriting limiting beliefs from childhoodBuilding a mindset that supports being paid what you're worthShow notes are available at interiordesignbusinessacademy.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademyFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy

What does freedom actually look like?For me, it looks like a house full of people I love. A Fourth of July spent completely present. A business that supports my life instead of consuming it. A schedule built with intention. A life designed, not stumbled into.In this deeply personal episode, I share why the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, and why it has become so much bigger than patriotism. It's a reminder that while freedom may be protected externally, it still has to be created internally.We talk about the invisible ways women give their freedom away through people pleasing, overperforming, old identity patterns, and living toward someone else's definition of success. Because having the right to build your life is one thing. Choosing to build it is another.If you've been waiting for life to feel different before making different decisions, this episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start designing.What You'll HearWhy the Fourth of July became my family's favorite day of the yearThe difference between political freedom and personal freedomWhat "unfreedom" actually looks like in everyday lifeThe invisible cages ambitious women build without realizing itWhy freedom is designed through thousands of ordinary decisionsThe question that reveals whether your life actually feels like yoursWhy most women don't have a mindset problem. They have a pattern problem.The identity shift required before freedom can become your realityHow The Unblocked Method™ helps women interrupt the patterns keeping them stuckOne simple question to help you begin building your own version of freedom this weekOne Line to Sit With"You can't build a free life from an identity that does not believe it's allowed to have one."Picture your version of freedom.Not the vacation.Not someday.Not when everything is finally figured out.The ordinary Tuesday.Who's with you?What does work feel like?What does your home feel like?How do you feel when you wake up?Then ask yourself one question:What is one decision I can make this week that moves me toward that picture?That decision becomes your own declaration of independence.Clip-Worthy Moments"Freedom is not just political. It's personal.""We didn't stumble into this life. We designed it.""The Founding Fathers gave us the container.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the trading world at extraordinary speed - but what does that actually mean for everyday retail traders?In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford sits down with trading coach Brian McAboy to explore one of the most important questions facing modern traders: Will AI make you a better trader… or leave you behind?AI is already changing how traders analyse markets, process information, generate ideas, and make decisions. But while artificial intelligence can scan data in seconds, it still can't fully replace the human qualities that often determine trading success: judgement, discipline, adaptability, emotional control, and decision-making under uncertainty.So where does that leave human traders?Should retail traders embrace AI as a powerful trading tool? Or is over-reliance on technology creating a dangerous new trap?Brian brings a unique perspective to this conversation. With a background in mechanical engineering, quality systems, and trading psychology, he understands the importance of consistency, process, and avoiding costly mistakes - all critical skills in today's rapidly evolving trading environment.In this episode:How AI is changing trading and investing right nowWhether retail traders should fear artificial intelligenceWhere AI can genuinely improve your trading decisionsThe areas where human judgement still outperforms machinesHow traders can use AI without becoming dangerously dependent on itWhether AI reduces emotional trading mistakes - or creates new onesWhy discipline and process matter even more in an AI-driven marketThe skills traders need to stay relevant in the years aheadWhat will separate successful traders from those who quietly disappearIf you're interested in ASX trading, trading psychology, Australian sharemarket investing, artificial intelligence, trading systems, or the future of trading in Australia, this conversation is essential listening.Because while AI may change the tools…Your mindset may still be your greatest edge.--------------------------------------Be the spark If you know someone who's struggling in the markets, don't keep Talking Trading to yourself.

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! In this week's episode, I'm joined by my friend Deb for a candid conversation about dating, self-worth, healing old wounds, and what happens when you finally decide you're no longer available for less than you deserve.Deb and I first connected online years ago, but our friendship deepened during a trip to Napa when she was navigating a difficult breakup and questioning the kinds of relationships she had been accepting. What followed was a powerful journey of raising her standards, healing old patterns, and learning to stop seeking validation from people who were never capable of giving her what she truly wanted.This conversation feels less like an interview and more like two girlfriends sitting down with a glass of wine and talking about the lessons that changed everything.In This Episode We Discuss:How ambitious women often settle for less than they deserve in relationshipsThe difference between wanting a relationship and needing validationWhy self-worth isn't something you think—it's something you embodyThe hidden patterns that keep us choosing unavailable or low-effort partnersHow childhood wounds can quietly influence our dating decisionsThe importance of communicating needs and expectations clearlyWhy raising your standards isn't selfish—it's necessaryLearning to trust yourself instead of chasing approvalHow healing emotional wounds creates space for healthier relationshipsThe difference between knowing your worth and actually living like you know your worthA Few Powerful Truths From This Conversation:Just because someone is interested in you doesn't mean they're right for you.Attention and effort are not the same thing.Being independent doesn't make you immune to wanting love, connection, and partnership.Standards aren't walls—they're filters.You don't have to earn healthy love.The Biggest Takeaway:One of the most powerful shifts Deb experienced wasn't finding the right relationship—it was becoming the version of herself who no longer accepted the wrong ones.When you stop settling, everything changes.Not because the dating pool changes.Because you do.Connect With Us:If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that they are allowed to want more.And if you're doing the work of raising your standards, healing old wounds, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks, come join us inside the Embodied Baddie community.Until next time, stay audacious, stay embodied, and never settle for crumbs when you're meant for the whole damn meal.

Europe's challenge isn't a lack of entrepreneurs. It's making sure enough capital reaches them.In this episode, David Cruz e Silva speaks with Jaap Vriesendorp, Managing Partner at Marktlink Capital, one of Europe's most active LPs in venture capital, about why backing European innovation matters, how to build a resilient venture portfolio and what separates the best fund managers from the rest.Jaap shares the thinking behind Marktlink's venture strategy, from vintage diversification and secondaries to manager selection and portfolio construction.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever looked around at your life and thought, "Nothing is technically wrong... so why do I feel so disconnected from it?"That is exactly what we're diving into this week with speaker, coach, and author Iona Holloway.Iona's new book, Do the Brave Thing, starts with a question that hit me right between the eyes: What happens when you've done everything right, collected all the gold stars, built the life that looks impressive on paper... and still feel dead inside?In this conversation, Iona shares the rock bottom moment that forced her to confront a life built on perfectionism, achievement, and invisible suffering. We talk about the pressure so many women carry to be strong, capable, and endlessly high-functioning, and why those qualities can sometimes become the very thing keeping us stuck.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was Iona's distinction between being strong and being brave. Strength can look like gritting your teeth and carrying more than you should. Bravery asks something different. It asks you to listen to yourself, tell the truth about what you want, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with change.We also explored how fear disguises itself as practicality, perfectionism, procrastination, and even the stories we tell ourselves about why we're the exception. The woman who can't. The one for whom it's harder. The one who should wait until she's ready.Spoiler alert: ready is not coming.Iona shared her powerful "5 and 95 Rule," the idea that a brave life is one that makes five-year-old you happy and ninety-five-year-old you proud. It is simple, memorable, and honestly one of those ideas that lingers long after the conversation ends.If you've been quietly wondering whether there's more available to you than simply being impressive, this episode is your reminder that feeling alive matters too.What's Inside:Why being impressive and feeling alive are not the same thingThe difference between being strong and being braveHow fear hides inside perfectionism, procrastination, and practicalityIona's "5 and 95 Rule" for making braver decisionsThe thing I keep coming back to from this conversation is that bravery rarely looks cool. Most of the time it looks awkward, uncertain, and wildly uncomfortable. What's one brave thing you've been avoiding lately?  DM me on Instagram…I'd genuinely love to hear your answer. Mentioned in This Episode:Brave ThingDo the Brave Thing BookIona Holloway on InstagramIona Holloway on LinkedInGet Healthy AF Book FreeOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Most painters don't get what they want because they never actually decide what they want. They live in the "gray zone" — surviving, reacting, putting out fires — and wonder why the business keeps hitting the same ceiling.In this live coaching episode, Coach Jesse sits down with Damon, owner of On a Roll Painting, fresh off a record month: nearly $100K in April after doing $325K all of last year. On the surface it's a huge win. Underneath, there's a ceiling — a five-year vision he can picture but can't quite commit to, and the fear that shows up the moment he says it out loud.What follows is a real breakthrough, no script and no theory. Jesse walks Damon through the magic wand exercise to call out a specific number, confront the fear of success hiding behind the fear of failure, and step into the identity of the owner he's becoming — the one running a multi-million dollar business mostly hands-off, with the team, the systems, and the freedom to actually live.If you're a painting business owner stuck between survival and the vision you keep putting off, this one's for you.Inside this episode:Why getting specific beats staying "realistic"The magic wand exercise to unlock your real five-year visionFear of success vs. fear of failure, and why both keep you on the start lineHow the "$5M owner" version of you actually makes decisionsThe "on a roll" token: a simple way to interrupt stress and stay in momentumWhy your team only matches half your energy, and what that means for how you show upTrusting the next step instead of demanding the whole roadmap

But the truth is, many clients aren't intentionally difficult, they simply lack confidence and need more structure, guidance, and clarity throughout the process.In this episode, I share six practical strategies to help clients move through decisions with more confidence while keeping your projects organized, on schedule, and beautifully cohesive.You'll learn how to reduce overwhelm, create better specification meetings, structure your agreements to support progress, and guide clients through the emotional side of decision-making without becoming frustrated or losing control of the project.If you've ever had a client say “I need to think about it” over and over again, this episode will help you lead the process more effectively and protect both your time and your design.In this episode, we cover:Why some clients struggle to make decisionsHow open-ended decisions delay projectsWhy unresolved selections hurt the overall designThe impact delayed decisions have on contractors and timelinesHow too many options overwhelm clientsWhy presenting one best option works better than fiveHow to use anchor selections to guide the design directionWhy inspiration photos help reinforce decisionsThe importance of meeting agendasHow preparing clients before meetings improves outcomesBuilding deadlines into your letter of agreementHow written agreements create accountabilityWhy clients need design education throughout the processExplaining the emotional feel behind design choicesHow to build confidence in hesitant clientsWhy reinforcing wins helps clients decide fasterThe importance of holding boundaries during selectionsWhy you should never allow decisions to carry into the next meetingHow stronger leadership creates smoother projectsShow notes are available at interiordesignbusinessacademy.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademyFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy

You can have the right systems, the right strategy, and still struggle to grow if your franchisees don't trust you. Today on the podcast we have Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review, to share what's really driving growth behind the scenes of high-performing franchise systems. From building the company as employee number one to analyzing data from thousands of franchisees, Michelle shares what actually separates brands that scale from those that stall.This conversation centers on one critical factor most leaders underestimate: trust. Michelle breaks down why trust is the strongest predictor of franchise growth, how a lack of alignment creates friction across operations and development, and why franchisees ultimately influence whether new deals move forward or fall apart through validation and real-world experience. We also dive into the role of transparency, how feedback should actually be used, and what leaders need to understand about the real experience inside their systems.So, if your franchise isn't growing the way you expected, this episode will challenge you to look beyond strategy and take a hard look at the trust you've built with the people closest to your brand.Connect with Michelle:Franchise Business Review - https://franchisebusinessreview.com/LinkedIn - @michellemonroerowanResources:Auspicious Owl Group - https://www.auspiciousowlgroup.com/Episode Highlights:Why trust is the #1 driver of franchise growthWhat happens when franchisees don't buy into leadership decisionsThe hidden cost of ignoring franchisee feedbackHow franchisees influence development and deal flowWhy transparency matters more than polished messagingThe shift from command-and-control to collaboration in franchisingHow to use feedback as a roadmap instead of avoiding itWhat strong franchise brands consistently do differentlyConnect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

We're joined by Bhavesh Ratanpal. product leader, author, and long‑time practitioner of yoga philosophy, for a unique conversation about his book Product Ashtangi and how ancient Vedic wisdom can change the way we build products and lead teams.Bhavesh shares his journey from growing up in a family of priests in India, to a career in software development and product management at places like TD Bank, Citibank, and TELUS, and now to founding human‑centric AI startups in Canada. Along the way, he kept returning to one insight: a calm, clear mind makes better product decisions. Product Ashtangi is his attempt to codify that, combining the eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga with modern product practice.Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Bhavesh:What “Product Ashtangi” means and why the first product you work on is yourselfHow the eight limbs of yoga (starting with Yama - truthfulness, ethics, ego‑awareness) translate into everyday product decisionsThe difference between building from ego and cosmetics vs. focusing on real user pain and social welfareHow to shift between observer and experiencer modes so you can see problems clearly instead of reacting emotionallyStories of applying these principles in practice, from enterprise migrations and platform decisions to Bhavesh's current AI products (pet adoption and strata governance)Treating your life like a product: personal sprints, self‑retros every two weeks, and continuously “shipping” a better version of yourselfHow karma yoga and product management align when you see products as vehicles for societal good, not just business metricsThe structure of the book:Part 1 – theory connecting yoga sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and product thinkingPart 2 – practical ways to adopt the eight limbs in your product workWhere to start if you're curious: books, practices, and small mindset shifts you can apply this weekAnd much more!Want to learn more or get the book?Website: http://bhaveshratanpal.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhaveshratanpalYou can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: http://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovskyNote: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
