This is it, the final episode! Danny gives us his closing arguments, reflecting on all he's learned about the data center fight in communities across the United States. We listen in on Danny's conversation with prolific author and tech critic Cory Doctorow about the centaur/reverse centaur theory of how we use technology and how technology uses us. And, we take another quick trip to some of the communities we've visited along the way: Data Center Alley in Northern Virginia, Davis, West Virginia, and Memphis, Tennessee, to get the latest on their fights. When it's all said and done, the greatest lesson from the data center clashes may be in the value of agency, and that the way to protect communities from harmful data centers is to ensure that technology serves communities, not the other way around.In this episode, we hear from:Cory Doctorow: Science fiction author, activist and journalist whose recent books include “Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse And What To Do About It” and “The Reverse Centaur's Guide To Life After AI.”Nikki Forrester: Helped launch Tucker United, now serves as the director of communications and spokesperson, lives in Tucker County, WV, and is a journalist. Elena Schlossenberg: Our local tour guide, and deeply involved in grassroots organizing in Prince William County and Loudoun County. She has a deep knowledge of land-use management and serves as the executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County.Amber Sherman: Local policy organizer in Memphis.Delegate John McAuliff: Recently elected Delegate for Fauquier and Loudoun counties in Northern Virginia, flipping the seat by running largely on data center regulation. Samuel Black: Award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist working with More Perfect Union.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley shares a powerful productivity strategy: conducting a two-week time study. Josh explains how tracking time reveals inefficiencies and misplaced priorities that limit business growth. He introduces a four-bucket framework—Delete, Delegate, Design, and Double Down—to help entrepreneurs categorize their activities and focus on high-leverage work. Josh emphasizes that a CEO's role must continuously evolve through revenue milestones, and recommends tools like the Timing app and ChatGPT to analyze time data and redesign job responsibilities for maximum impact.Bullet Points:Importance of conducting a two-week time study for entrepreneurs and CEOs.Tracking and analyzing time to identify inefficiencies and misplaced priorities.The role of the founder or CEO as a potential growth ceiling for the business.Evolution of the CEO's role as the business scales through revenue milestones.Categorization of tasks into four buckets: Delete, Delegate, Design, and Double Down.Regular self-assessment and role redesign for sustainable scaling.Value of time analysis for team members at all levels, not just CEOs.Use of tools like the Timing app for tracking time spent on activities.Analyzing collected data to identify opportunities for improvement and delegation.Emphasis on intentional time management and leadership evolution for business growth.Timestamps:00:00:00 Introduction to the Two-Week Time StudyYour calendar reveals your business's future growth.

Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own e-commerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. Most founders think that they know exactly where their time is going. However, when you conduct a two week time study, 90% of entrepreneurs are blown away with where their time is actually being consumed in the business. And oftentimes it's not in the places you want your time being consumed in the business. Most of the time, you're stuck in the thick of thin things. That's not providing a high ROI in the business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith.Josh Hadley 00:00:56  I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade, selling multi-million on sales channels such as Amazon, TikTok, Shop and Shopify, and I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs. That's E-com breakthrough. Today, I'm going to be sharing with you the details about this two week time study, which is one of the best tools to magnify your output and be able to ten x the efficiency and the growth inside of your business. So why is a two week time study so important? And why do I do this on a regular basis? By the way, I do this myself at a minimum every six months, and when things are really moving along quickly, I'm doing it every 90 days. If the business is scaling fast, the reason why you want to conduct a two week time study is because the founder's time eventually becomes the ceiling for your growth as a business. This is going to provide you with a framework for seeing whether your behavior in the business is actually matching the business that you think you are trying to build? Way too often I hear people are saying, oh yeah, I'm all focused on growth.Josh Hadley 00:02:02  But then you show me your two week time study, and then I find that most of your time is spent in administrative work, doing manual routine things that aren't actually driving results in the business, but it's just kind of keeping things afloat. That's not what you want to be focused on. And this is something that applies to CEOs, and this applies to entry level workers that are doing routine administrative work as well, because I believe that everybody in any role needs to take an honest look and self-assess. Am I spending my time on the right levers in the business that are truly going to provide an ROI, a return on your investment, or your time? Let's dive into why this is so vital for a CEO that's building a business. When you're a CEO and you're a founder and you're crossing that $1 million mark in revenue, it's honestly the hustle that has gotten you to where you are today, and that ultimately will become a ceiling. If you're not able to delegate and identify a system as to how you generated that first million dollars in revenue.Josh Hadley 00:03:02  You're never going to scale to that next level, whic...

In celebration of America's 250th, we'd like to officially invite you to enjoy this special episode telling the tale of that audacious, terrifying, and formative step taken by the Second Continental Congress to declare Independence in the summer of 1776. Fought over bitterly on July 1st, voted on affirmatively on the 2nd, with the exact wording finalized on the 4th—I mean, how could we not resurface episode #8's account of this story for this week? If you're new here, you may not have listened to it—here's your chance. And if you've been listening for a while, take a step back with me and remember why we revere this document. This is the story of independence and crushed hope.Congress is finally declaring independence but it isn't a straightforward process. Delegates have different perspectives; John Adams and John Dickinson are taking the floor to argue passionately for and against it. The vote will come down to the wire.It's also time to bring the "$10" Founding Father into the story. That's right. We'll meet Alexander Hamilton, get the backstory of his rough childhood in the Caribbean, and see how he ends up in the Big Apple.Speaking of NYC, George Washington has chased Lord William Howe from Boston to Manhattan, but this is a very different battlefield. He's going to have a harder go here than he did in New England. Much harder.Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andorder Prof. Jackson's new bookgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchHTDS is part of Audacy media network.

In this minisode, we hear from Lou Shipley, a three-time CEO, Harvard Business School professor, and author who has spent his career building and scaling venture-backed companies. This clip focuses on a critical mistake early-stage founders make: delegating sales before they truly understand the problem they're solving. Lou walks through how he validated a company by getting directly in front of customers, why founders have to act as the first salesperson, and how real product-market fit only emerges through those early conversations. For leaders, this is a reminder that sales is not something you hand off. It's how you learn, refine, and prove the business. Lou Shipley is a three-time CEO, Harvard Business School professor, and author of Unlikely Entrepreneurs. He has led multiple startups and previously taught sales at MIT.

Delegation isn't usually a systems problem.Most people already know what they could hand off. They've thought about hiring. They've considered asking for help. They've downloaded the planner, created the SOP, or promised themselves they'll stop carrying so much.Yet somehow, everything ends up back on their plate.In this strategic journaling episode, we're exploring what makes letting go so difficult, even when the workload is unsustainable. Because the thing that's keeping you overwhelmed isn't always a lack of support. Sometimes it's a belief that makes doing more feel safer than letting go.Through a series of journaling prompts, you'll uncover what's keeping you stuck in the cycle of over-responsibility and begin identifying the deeper reason delegation feels so hard.Journal Prompts:What are you currently doing yourself, even though someone else could handle it? How does keeping it on your plate make you feel?Why haven't you handed it off yet? What's the real reason?What do you think you need in order to start delegating, or what are you already trying to help yourself trust and let go?Even though doing everything yourself leaves you exhausted, burnt out, and overwhelmed, how might it also be keeping you safe?A question to sit with after this episode:How has the belief underneath your need to do everything been shaping the way you work, lead, and show up in your life?Work with me:The Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

#355: Picture your engineering team a year from now. A coding agent doing the coding. A testing agent on tests. A security agent on security. An infrastructure agent on infrastructure. All of them wired into GitHub and Jira, all of them working right alongside the humans. Not science fiction either - Atlassian and GitHub are already shipping these features. So out come the stats everyone loves to quote. AI code introduces 1.7 times more issues. Half of it ships with security holes. Code duplication is through the roof. AI-assisted PRs take four to five times longer to review. The response to most of it: so what? If you have a way to detect the issue and feed it back, that is just the SDLC doing its job. Couldn't care less if it is 1.7x or 50x more issues - what matters is what is left at the end, per feature shipped. Security holes? You have scanners. Detect, fix, ship. The only real problem is when you skip the detection or sit on the fix for months, and that has nothing to do with AI. Here is the one stat that actually sticks: PR reviews backing up. Speed up coding and leave everything downstream at human speed, and you have not sped up delivery - you have just moved the pile from Jira tickets to pull requests. The review pipeline was built for human speed, and now it is the bottleneck. The blunt fix: stop letting AI write 10,000-line PRs, work in smaller chunks, and accept that the job is about to get mentally harder. Delegate the tedious work and what is left is the demanding work - architecture, taste, is this even the feature we should ship. The silly stuff, does every function have a comment, is it camel case, goes to the machine. Spend your time there and you are wasting your talent. Offshoring never worked when the only goal was cheaper - chase the cheapest engineers, then chase even cheaper ones, and you end up dragging the work back in house. Same trap with AI. Offshore to Opus, then Sonnet, then Haiku, then Llama on a laptop. If cheaper is your primary motivation, you are doing it wrong. The win is qualitative, not the price tag. Where does it land? Three people per product, end to end - frontend, backend, database, deployments. Augmented at every stage, not autonomous. A human still pushes the final button to prod, the way you never let a Jenkins pipeline deploy straight to production without a check. Full autonomy is coming the way self-driving cars came: not in a year, not everywhere at once, and not by flipping it on at 4pm on a Friday. Even when the technology is ready, you are not. And if you think none of this touches your job, there is a story here about a textile factory built in the eighties that ran on five people. Knowledge work is next. The only exception is a monopoly, and you probably do not have one.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Democrats still can't come to an agreement on a new state budget.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Virginia Delegate Michael Webert to discuss the impact of regulatory reform and what's at stake for the future of the Commonwealth. Delegate Webert breaks down how the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management—created under Governor Glenn Youngkin—has streamlined burdensome rules, cut red tape, and saved taxpayers significant money, including an estimated $26,000 per home. With a looming deadline and shifting political leadership, those reforms are now at risk. Webert shares concerns about increasing regulations, rising energy costs, and the potential rollback of policies that have helped businesses grow and families afford housing. From farming to housing to energy policy, this conversation highlights how everyday regulations can quietly shape the cost of living—and why protecting reform efforts is critical to keeping Virginia competitive and affordable.

Dr. Peter Sorensen joins hosts Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence in podiatric education and practice. Recorded as Sorensen finishes his second year of residency at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis, the episode traces his path from a college ankle fracture into the profession, through his early experiments with ChatGPT in 2022, and into the platform he now builds for students and residents.This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics!The importance of using AI responsibly is Dr. Sorensen's main message. He and the hosts discuss how to let AI save time and sharpen thinking without quietly eroding the skills that make a good clinician and surgeon. Along the way the conversation turns to hallucinations and active learning, the risk of “de-skilling,” AI as a thought partner, and how these tools can lower the steep barrier to entry into organized podiatry.Sorensen started using ChatGPT the week OpenAI released it to the public in November 2022, while he was still in podiatry school. The early versions, he admits, let him down — they couldn't even browse the internet in real time — but he kept a running mental list of things he wished the tools could do. Over the last several months, he says, the capabilities finally caught up to those ideas.The most quoted idea in the episode is also its most countercultural: skepticism isn't a reason to avoid AI — it's the reason to use it. “I always tell people to always doubt the output of AI,” Sorensen says, because hallucinations are real. But that doubt, he argues, turns a passive user into an active learner. If something feels off, you go to the primary source, and modern tools are increasingly good at telling you where their claims came from.The hosts press on the harder question — cognitive offloading, or “de-skilling.” Dr. Richey makes the point that real learning has to be a little hard: “We can't biohack knowledge, but we can make it more accessible.” She and Jensen return to a distinction they've discussed before — that knowledge is becoming a commodity in the palm of our hands, while wisdom is not. Sorensen agrees that the journey matters more than the destination, and that offloading every hard thing would leave the next generation unable to do the work. His answer isn't to abstain; it's to be intentional.Beyond time saved, Sorensen describes the use case he now values most: a thought partner. Claude, he says, is his go-to here — a soundboard that helps him clarify what he actually thinks while keeping the ideas his own. As a senior resident beginning to form his own positions on patient care and professional politics, he finds the tools useful for clearing mental clutter and organizing scattered thoughts into something coherent.He speaks from recent experience. Through the APMA Emerging Leaders Program, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate on Capitol Hill, and came away struck by the tireless, often-underappreciated work that actually moves the needle — including the efforts of APMA staff. Attending the House of Delegates as a young physician observer was, he says, one of his most eye-opening experiences, and also where he started using Claude in earnest, to make sense of what he was watching.About Dr. Peter SorensenPeter Sorensen, DPM, MHA, is a podiatric surgery resident at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis. He earned his DPM and MHA from Des Moines University (graduating in 2024) and holds a BA in Spanish from Southern Utah University; he previously worked as a medical Spanish interpreter. He is a member of the APMA Emerging Leaders Program and served on the APMA Re-imagining Education Task Force. He is the publisher of The Guidewire, where he writes about artificial intelligence in podiatric medicine and works to lower the barrier to entry into the profession for students and residents.

Most people think founder burnout is about working too hard.Take a vacation. Get more sleep. Delegate more. And you will feel better.They are wrong.The exhaustion that accumulates in a founder or business owner who has been building something significant for years is not about the hours. It is about the specific and invisible weight of being the person the whole thing depends on — the decision maker, the culture carrier, the one who holds the vision, the one who cannot let anyone see them struggle — without anyone in their world who is truly outside it and truly honest with them about what that weight is doing to them.The physician who gives everything to her patients and drives home on Tuesday nights wishing it was already Sunday. The financial advisor who manages millions for clients and cannot remember the last morning she woke up genuinely excited to go to work. The luxury spa owner who built something beautiful and cries in the car on the way home. The consultant who is billing more than ever and feels emptier than ever. This episode is for every one of them. Maria Fontana has been working privately with founders and business owners for nearly four decades and in this episode she speaks honestly and directly about what founder exhaustion actually is, why the conventional advice about burnout does not work at this level, what is actually driving the exhaustion underneath the surface, and what the founders and business owners she works with most closely have done to address it in a way that changed not just how they felt but how they lived.This is not a wellness episode. It is not about self-care routines or morning practices or productivity systems.

You've been told to delegate, outsource, and get help, so why does it still feel faster to just do it yourself?  Want help deciding what stays and what goes? Alecia's free Capacity Decision Guide walks every task and obligation in your business and life through the same decision tree from this episode, so you can put down what was never yours to carry. Grab it at consciousedge.com/decision.  Get full show notes at www.consciousedge.com/ep109 Instagram → @aleciastg Alecia St. Germain knows this story well, because she lived it for years. The belief that once this project wraps, she'll finally have time for what matters most. Then the next busy thing arrived, the business started to feel heavy, and her body wore out. She found her way out of that pattern, and now she helps other business owners do the same. In this solo episode, Alecia shares the tool she built for that exact moment: the Capacity Decision Guide. It's a simple decision tree that takes any task or obligation and sorts it into one of five outcomes. Release it, outsource it, delegate it, lead it, or grow into it. She talks through why so many entrepreneurs keep doing everything themselves, why outsourcing and delegating are not the same thing, and why confusing the two is so often the reason a past hire fell apart. And she's honest about what doing it all alone really costs, from a ceiling on income to the stress and burnout the body takes on along the way. This episode is for any business owner who already knows they're handling too much on their own, and is ready to take on the challenge of doing something different.

Hey there, lovely listeners! In this episode, we dive into the unique challenges of being a woman in business. We discuss how the cognitive load impacts us differently compared to men and why it's not just about being busy, but avoiding burnout. I share striking statistics on women's mental loads at home, caregiving, and the business world, highlighting how these influence decision fatigue, undervaluing time, and saying yes too often. We talk about practical strategies for delegation, setting boundaries, and lowering domestic standards. Remember, it's not about perfection but surviving and thriving in a system stacked against us. Your business can come first, it's okay to say no and prioritise yourself! **Key Takeaways** 1. Women carry a disproportionate mental load. Prioritize self-care. 2. Undervaluing your time leads to burnout. Charge your worth. 3. Delegate tasks at home and in business to lighten your load. 4. Boundaries aren't selfish; they're necessary for mental health. 5. One action can ripple positively. Start by saying yes to help.

Delegate Tom Garrett stops by for his weekly visit and he has a lot to say about the Virginia state budget.

Keith and Patrick Lee didn't start their machine shop with a giant facility, a full team, or a fleet of high-end equipment. They started with a Tormach in a one-car garage, a willingness to learn, and the belief that if they kept showing up, solving problems, and doing what they said they would do, they could build something real. In this episode of MakingChips, Keith and Patrick share the story behind their South Jersey machine shop, from discovering CNC through high school STEM projects and YouTube videos to slowly building the business on nights and weekends. Keith brings the hands-on machining background, including time in the Air National Guard and aerospace manufacturing, while Patrick brings a mechanical engineering background and experience in heavy construction operations. Together, they've had to figure out not just how to make parts, but how to build a business from scratch. Their journey is full of the kind of lessons every shop owner can relate to: learning CNC by doing, finding early work through Xometry, using LinkedIn to build real customer relationships, deciding when to invest in equipment, and building processes before hiring or automating. They also talk openly about what it's like to work with a sibling, how they handle disagreements, and why "family before the business, family after the business" has become a guiding principle. What sets Keith and Patrick apart isn't flashy equipment or decades of experience. It's their ethos: ownership, duty, discipline, honesty, and a commitment to bringing honor back to American manufacturing. They want to build a shop that treats customers like partners, pays skilled people well, and proves that doing the right thing still matters.

What happens when a business leader looks completely fine on the surface, but is secretly running on empty behind the scenes?  In this episode, Jeannette dives deep into the concept of "silent burnout”, the subtle, creeping exhaustion that happens behind the LinkedIn posts, the boardrooms, and the strategy sessions… You'll Learn Why: Silent burnout is arguably more dangerous than obvious burnout because it aggressively creeps up on you while you appear perfectly successful on the outside. Conducting a regular personal audit across sleep, diet, exercise, social life, and relationships is vital to catching hidden stress early. Implementing the "4Ds" framework (Ditch, Delay, Delegate, Do) is the fastest way to reclaim control over a chaotic calendar. Reconnecting with your core purpose and establishing non-negotiable boundaries is the key to sustaining your health and becoming a better leader for your team and loved ones. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

You've delegated. Probably more than once. So why does every decision still end up back on your desk?In this episode, Brooke unpacks the real reason delegation so often fails inside growing organizations. The issue usually isn't your team's capability — and it's not your willingness to hand things off. It's that most organizations never build the structure that allows decisions to stay delegated in the first place.Brooke breaks down the critical difference between delegation and decision rights, why escalation is often a design problem rather than a people problem, and how leaders unintentionally teach organizations to route authority upward. She also explores the shift from permission-based leadership to ownership-based leadership — and why that distinction fundamentally changes organizational capacity.This episode is especially relevant for nonprofit executives and organizational leaders who feel trapped in constant approvals, recurring questions, and decision bottlenecks. If your organization depends too heavily on you, this conversation will help you identify the structural gaps keeping authority centralized — and what needs to change next.What You'll Learn:Why delegation without decision rights creates more work instead of lessThe hidden organizational signals that train teams to escalate decisions upwardHow leaders accidentally reinforce dependency and bottlenecksThe difference between permission-based leadership and ownership-based leadershipWhy escalation is often a structural issue rather than a people issueHow distributed authority increases organizational capacity over timeWhat it takes to redesign decision-making inside a growing nonprofitKey TakeawaysDelegation is a behavior. Decision rights are organizational architecture.Teams escalate decisions because the system makes escalation the safest option.Permission-based leadership creates hesitation. Ownership-based leadership creates accountability.Organizations become dependent on leaders when authority is implied instead of explicitly designed.Sustainable leadership freedom requires redesigning authority — not simply delegating harder.Escalation is often a design signal, not a team competency problem.Distributed authority compounds organizational intelligence over time.Want to work together?

She breaks down the four levels of leverage, from doing it all yourself to building leaders who can build leaders. We talk about why task leverage can trap us, how to hand off outcomes instead of chores, and why the best leaders stop being the answer machine.Liz also gives us simple language we can use right away with our team. When someone brings us a question, we do not need to fix it. We can help them think. We can ask for possible solutions. We can connect each task to the bigger vision. And over time, we can build a business where people own results, not just check boxes.This is a bold, clear conversation for any real estate agent who wants freedom inside their business, not freedom from it.Resources:Interest List for Operator to Owner: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Running a Business That Doesn't Run You by Liz Landry: fromoperatortoownerbook.com Order the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Delegation isn't just a leadership skill — it's a spiritual alignment. In this episode, we unpack why so many Christian women in leadership struggle to delegate, not because they lack ability, but because they carry more than they were ever meant to. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, responsible for everything, or hesitant to delegate because it feels uncomfortable or unclear, this episode will help you release the weight and lead with clarity.   In This Episode We explore: • why delegation feels emotionally difficult (even when you know it's necessary) • the hidden cost of over-carrying in leadership • how people-pleasing and over-responsibility impact your leadership • the difference between responsibility and ownership • why delegation is essential for team growth and development • how to communicate clearly when delegating tasks You'll learn practical, faith-based shifts to help you stop carrying everything and start leading with greater clarity and peace.   A Key Leadership Truth: Over-carrying is not leadership — it's misaligned responsibility. You are not called to do everything. You are called to lead wisely. Ready to Delegate with Clarity? If you struggle with knowing what to say when delegating or setting expectations, the Difficult Conversations Script Pack will help you: • communicate clearly without over-explaining • delegate tasks with confidence and calm authority • set expectations without feeling harsh or guilty • handle leadership conversations without second-guessing

Are you still the bottleneck in your clinic even though you have a team? In this solo episode, Dr. Lauryn is back with part two of her conversation on owner dependency, and this time she is getting practical. If your team still needs constant hand-holding, your systems feel messy, and delegation feels harder than just doing it yourself, this episode is your next step.Dr. Lauryn walks through the SEAD framework: Simplify, Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate. She explains how to use team time audits, blank org charts, AI tools, VAs, software automation, and smarter delegation to create real bandwidth inside your practice. This is not about dumping more work onto your staff. It is about cleaning up chaos, freeing your best people for higher-level ownership, and helping you finally move from manager mode into CEO mode.Key Takeaways:Before you delegate more, you need to understand what your team is already carrying. A full team time audit helps reveal repeated tasks, interruptions, unnecessary approvals, manual work, and hidden capacity leaks.The SEAD framework gives clinic owners a practical way to clean up operations before adding more responsibility to the team. Simplify what is too complicated, eliminate what no longer matters, automate what software or AI can handle, and delegate work to the right person or resource.Delegation should not start by pushing your chaos onto an already overwhelmed employee. The first move is often delegating tasks away from your team to a VA, software, AI tool, outside service, or lower-level support role.Moving from manager to CEO requires patience, leadership, and a willingness to invest time now for freedom later. Your team needs clarity, authority, safety to make mistakes, and structured support as they take ownership of higher-value work.Resources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:INSiGHT CLAThis episode is brought to you by the INSiGHT scanning system from CLA, the tool that helps chiropractors show patients objective neurological data so the value of care becomes clear, fueling conversion, retention, and growth.
