You second-guess every decision. You overthink every conversation. You're constantly worried about doing the wrong thing, upsetting someone, or messing up. Sound familiar? That's what we're diving into in this episode: why nice guys don't trust themselves — and how that lack of self-trust is sabotaging every relationship in their lives.Chuck, Ari, and Faisal get real about their own struggles with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and that paralyzing fear of being wrong. Because here's the brutal truth: if you don't trust yourself, nobody else will either. Not your partner, not your kids, not your team.We break down:Why nice guys outsource their decisions and avoid conflict at all costsHow childhood programming taught us that being "good" is more important than being honestThe shame spiral that keeps men stuck in analysis paralysisWhy women can sense when you don't trust yourself (and why it's such a turn-off)Practical steps to rebuild self-trust through consistency and accountabilityHow to stop looking for validation and start validating your own decisionsThe power of leaning into tension instead of always taking the easy way outThis isn't just about making better decisions — it's about reclaiming your masculine core and becoming the kind of man who knows what he thinks, what he wants, and where he's going.If you've been living someone else's blueprint instead of your own, this conversation will wake you up. Time to stop asking for permission and start trusting yourself.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly shares another installment in her Summer Content Series, featuring guest content from one of the most influential voices in the alcohol-reduction space—Rachel Hart, host of the “Take a Break” podcast.Molly opens up about Rachel's pivotal role in her own journey to change her drinking habits, describing her as the first person who helped her believe it was possible to rethink her relationship with alcohol. Through books, podcasts, and coaching, Rachel's voice provides clarity, validation, and a methodical approach to mindful drinking that aligned closely with the Alcohol Minimalist philosophy.This featured episode challenges one of the most common self-sabotaging thought patterns: the tendency to make absolute declarations about your identity based on drinking behavior. Statements like “I have no willpower,” “I'm just someone who can't moderate,” or “I must have an addictive personality” are not facts—they are beliefs that shape your experience and become self-fulfilling prophecies.Rachel teaches listeners how to stop making their drinking patterns a reflection of their identity and instead approach every off-plan moment with curiosity, not criticism. Using Rachel's  “Think-Feel-Act” cycle, this episode is a science-based, compassion-forward guide to interrupting old stories and rewiring your drinking habits.Key Topics Covered:Why absolute statements about identity are so damaging to behavior changeHow belief systems reinforce drinking patternsThe Think-Feel-Act cycle and how it relates to drinking habitsA practical approach to examining moments when we go off-planHow to use curiosity instead of criticism when reflecting on cravings and decisionsThe power of zooming into specific moments instead of generalizing your behaviorWhy You Should Listen: If you're stuck in a cycle of overdrinking and self-recrimination, this episode will help you shift from judgment to awareness. Learn why your thoughts—not alcohol—are the real drivers of your behavior, and how small mindset changes can lead to major personal transformation.Mentioned in the Episode:Rachel Hart's Podcast – Take a BreakSunnyside Drinking App – Molly's recommended habit tracking and behavior change toolConnect with Molly:Website: www.mollywatts.comFree Resources: Alcohol Truths 2023 eBookFacebook Group: Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Alcohol HabitsLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

If you still picture farming as dusty tractors and endless manual labor, think again. Today's agriculture runs on GPS-guided equipment, drones, real-time soil sensors, and data systems that look more like Wall Street trading floors than old barns. In this episode, lifelong farmer and innovator Dick Pavelski and Andy Diercks of the Food + Farm Exploration Center pull back the curtain on precision agriculture—the technology, data, and processes that are transforming how we grow and deliver food.We break down the technologies making precision agriculture possible, from variable rate irrigation to “see and spray” weed control, and how data is being used to make decisions at the square-meter level. We also examine how these shifts are influencing agricultural careers, the skills now in demand, and why public understanding of modern farming is critical. Plus, discover the Food + Farm Exploration Center and its role in showing students, families, and policymakers what modern farming really involves.Listen to learn:What a farm looked like 40 years ago, and how that image compares to a modern precision operationHow GPS guidance, drones, and 300 weather stations help farmers make square-meter-level decisionsThe crossover of technologies and skills between manufacturing and precision agricultureThe biggest challenges in attracting and training the next generation of ag professionalsHow one Midwestern center is bridging the gap between farm technology and public awareness3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Modern agriculture is driven by technology and precision. GPS-guided equipment, variable rate irrigation, and “see and spray” weed control have replaced much of the manual labor and guesswork of past decades. These tools work together to improve yields, reduce inputs, and create a more sustainable and efficient farming process.2. Data is the backbone of today's farm operations. Farmers track weather, soil conditions, and crop needs in real time—often down to individual square meters—using hundreds of sensors and automated systems. This constant stream of information enables faster decision-making and more targeted resource use than was possible a generation ago.3. The skills and careers in agriculture are rapidly changing. Large-scale farms now employ specialists in data analysis, equipment maintenance, and automation, while mid-sized operations require workers with diverse technical abilities. The Food + Farm Exploration Center is working to show students, families, and policymakers the realities of these careers and the opportunities they offer.Resources in this Episode:Food + Farm Exploration Center: explorefoodandfarm.orgOther resources:Heartland FarmsColoma FarmConnect with the Food + Farm Exploration Center:Facebook  |  LinkedIn  |  Instagram  |  We want to hear from you!

No one's coming to save you.But here's the kicker – Chancellor saw opportunity where others would see only despair.Instead of playing victim, he took accountability.

Unlocking Success Through Strategy and Consistency with Jake SmolarekIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge welcomes Jake Smolarek, Life and Business Coach. With a unique background that blends gaming, coaching, and entrepreneurship, Jake helps established entrepreneurs master their time, mindset, and decision-making. In this conversation, he shares a powerful framework for staying consistent, making quicker decisions, and enjoying the entrepreneurial journey along the way.What Entrepreneurs Can Learn from Gaming and CoachingJake Smolarek draws fascinating parallels between gaming and entrepreneurship, emphasizing that both require strategy, feedback, and consistent practice. As an avid gamer, Jake believes the lessons from gaming—like handling setbacks, adapting strategies, and refining skills—can directly improve business outcomes. Mistakes aren't failures; they're feedback. And mastery? That comes from repetition.Jake's “No 0% Days” concept is at the core of his coaching philosophy. It's a mindset that encourages progress—even in the smallest steps—every single day. Whether it's sending one email, making a call, or spending five focused minutes on a goal, daily actions compound into lasting results. This approach helps entrepreneurs avoid burnout, maintain momentum, and track real progress over time.A recurring theme in Jake's work is the power of clarity and decisiveness. He stresses the importance of having a clear vision, which makes it easier to filter decisions, say no to distractions, and take fast, aligned action. Entrepreneurs often suffer from “option overload.” But with a strong vision, you can limit options, trust your instincts, and keep moving forward with confidence. This episode is a blueprint for anyone looking to lead with intention and avoid the trap of perfectionism and indecision.About Jake SmolarekJake Smolarek is a Life and Business Coach who helps high-performing entrepreneurs develop clarity, consistency, and confidence. With a background in personal development and performance coaching, Jake supports clients in aligning their daily actions with long-term vision through mindset work, decision-making frameworks, and real-world accountability systems.About JakeSmolarek.comAt JakeSmolarek.com, Jake offers personalized coaching and resources for entrepreneurs looking to take control of their time, mindset, and business growth.

In this episode, I sit with long-time vulnerability management and data science experts Jay Jacobs and Michael Roytman, who recently co-founded Empirical Security.We dive into the state of vulnerability management, including:How it is difficult to quantify and evaluate the effectiveness of vulnerability prioritization and scoring schemes, such as CVSS, EPSS, KEV, and proprietary vendor prioritization frameworks, and what can be done betterSystemic challenges include setbacks in the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) program, the MITRE CVE funding fiasco, and the need for a more resilient vulnerability database and reporting ecosystem.Domain-specific considerations when it comes to vulnerability identifiers and vulnerability management, in areas such as AppSec, Cloud, and Configuration Management, and using data to make more effective decisionsThe overuse of the term “single pane of glass” and some alternativesEmpirical's innovative approach to “localized” models when it comes to vulnerability management, which takes unique organizational and environmental considerations into play, such as mitigating controls, threats, tooling, and more, and how they are experimenting with this new approach for the industry

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt unpack a common but costly mistake nonprofits make—treating donors as checkbooks instead of partners. Sparked by recent federal funding cuts to arts organizations, this conversation challenges fundraising teams to rethink how they communicate with their most committed supporters during a crisis.Too often, when a major grant disappears or budgets fall short, nonprofits react with urgency but little strategy. A mass email plea might generate a trickle of support, but it rarely strengthens long-term donor relationships or builds confidence. Amy and Andrea argue there's a better way—one that starts by treating your top donors like trusted advisors.The episode digs into the difference between reactive fundraising and relationship-based fundraising. The key? Seeing your donors as people who want your mission to succeed and are willing to help in more ways than writing a check. Andrea shares a personal example of how a missed opportunity left her feeling like "just another wallet," and Amy discusses the psychological impact of mass appeals versus personalized outreach.You'll hear:Why most fundraising appeals fall flat after a crisis—and what to do insteadHow to engage your top donors in real conversations about strategy, not just fundingWhy even non-fundraising experts have valuable insight into program decisionsThe value of building a mental “donor committee” that you turn to regularlyHow relational fundraising mirrors real-life friendships—and why that mattersWays to make your follow-up more than a thank-you noteAmy and Andrea offer a practical framework that fundraising professionals can adopt immediately—starting with a simple mindset shift: Donors are institutional friends, not vending machines. If that sounds soft, think again. This approach can lead to larger gifts, more meaningful partnerships, and long-term campaign success.This conversation is especially timely for nonprofit leaders facing funding cuts, uncertainty, or stalled campaigns. If you're tired of short-term fixes and want to start building lasting support, this episode offers a clear path forward.To learn more about capital campaign strategy and donor engagement, visit capitalcampaignpro.com, where you'll find free resources and ways to work directly with expert advisors like Amy and Andrea.

“Client communication just doesn't cut it anymore. In 2025 we have so many generations working together, we want to rush right to the product, but we have to learn how to use these people first communication skills.”Jason Raitz is proof that success as a speaker isn't about overnight wins or waiting for an opportunity to knock—it's about grit, clarity, and a relentless focus on serving others. Starting from a childhood love of the stage (and a knack for bribing friends with cookies), Jason spent years speaking in churches and schools before finally stepping into the corporate world, but this pivot didn't come easy.For years, Jason juggled ministry with speaking gigs, sometimes feeling invisible and fighting off imposter syndrome—especially when the dream career didn't materialize quickly.
