All 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates are on the ballot this year. That includes some Republican candidates facing off against familiar Democratic opponents. Michael Pope explains.

The NPP National Delegates Conference settles a long-standing debate on party leadership by endorsing over fifty key constitutional amendments.

"They are going to look at their constitution, examine which aspect ought to go and what will be the benefit for the party and the nation at large" - Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante,Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana.

Healing often begins with the courage to ask questions—and the right guide to walk you through the answers. Dr. Jill Jenkins shares how pediatric oral health connects to far more than teeth, influencing everything from nursing success to sleep, speech, and even a child's overall development. With warmth and wisdom, she explains how individualized care and a collaborative approach with other practitioners can empower parents to identify tongue ties and make confident decisions. Her passion is a reminder that small interventions early on can create ripple effects of wellness for a lifetime. Key Takeaways: Understanding tongue ties and their subtle symptoms can help parents advocate for their child's health. A multidisciplinary approach—including dentists, lactation consultants, and bodywork—leads to better outcomes. Early, individualized care builds a foundation for proper oral function and overall well-being. Parents' instincts are powerful; trusting your gut can lead to answers others might overlook. Restoring oral function can positively impact sleep, feeding, and emotional connection between parent and child.   About Dr. Jill Jenkins: With almost 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, Dr Jill Jenkins felt like there wasn't a child she couldn't help through her pediatric dental practice, Jenkins Dentistry for Kids. That was until 2 of her long term employees had infants with tongue tie restrictions, requiring frenectomy procedures. Without the proper training and equipment, Dr Jenkins had to refer her patients to another practitioner at a vulnerable time for the families who had come to trust her. So, after extensive coursework and in-person observation with one of the most renowned tongue tie pediatric dentists in the field, Dr Richard Baxter, Dr Jenkins is thrilled to now be able to provide frenectomy services to patients through the establishment of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. By utilizing the state of the art Lightscalpel CO2 laser and working closely with functional providers, Dr Jenkins is confident that patients receive exceptional care before, during and post-procedure to ensure not only a precise tongue tie release, but also the movement and functionality the release is designed to achieve. Dr Jill Jenkins attended dental school and her pediatric residency at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry and Children's Mercy Hospital. After 15 years in her original partnership, Dr Jenkins pivoted to develop a practice based on her own patient and team centered philosophy to open Jenkins Dentistry for Kids with locations in Lenexa and Shawnee. She is also the owner and founder of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. Dr Jenkins has served organized dentistry in many volunteer roles throughout her career, most notably as President of the Fifth District Dental Society of Kansas, President of the State of Kansas Dental Association and currently as Chair of the KDA Membership committee, member of the ADA Council on Membership, and as a Delegate for the State of Kansas to the ADA. Dr Jenkins is a board certified pediatric dentist, and is involved with many professional organizations where she is a diplomate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, fellow of the American College of Dentists and fellow of the International College of Dentists. She also received the Women Who Mean Business Award from the Kansas City Business Journal in 2017, where she continues to stay active. She has also been awarded Dentist of the Year both locally and at the state level. Dr Jenkins has been married for over 25 years and is fortunate to have 3 amazing children. www.jenkinsdentistryforkids.com www.midwesttonguetieprofessionals.com https://www.facebook.com/JenkinsDentistryKids/ https://www.instagram.com/jenkinsdentistryforkids/    Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

NPP will never forget to prosecute perpetrators of Ablekuma North electoral violence - Dr. Bawumia

In a bid to ensure the safety and security of participants at the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Delegates Conference, key security agencies have commenced a monitoring tour of the event venue.

In this special episode, we flip the mic - Adam Koós joins The Purpose Focused Advisor podcast with Rob Brown to unpack the strategies, mindset shifts, and systems that led to massive growth at Libertas Wealth. Adam shares how he doubled his firm's AUM and revenue in just two years, not by chasing gimmicks, but by committing to systems, vision-driven leadership, and client-first experiences. He dives deep into why he calls Libertas a “marketing firm that happens to do financial planning,” and how that shift unlocked new levels of trust, growth, and fulfillment. You'll hear insights on automation, onboarding, daily action over distant goals, and the power of delegation. Adam also opens up about the importance of saving clients from bad advice, choosing integrity over shortcuts, and building a firm that's both scalable and deeply human. If you're a financial professional looking to grow with intention, this is your blueprint.     Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – The marketing mindset shift that changed everything 01:00 – Why Adam doubled his business and what drove it 03:00 – The COVID pivot: client retention through systems 05:00 – Building a scalable practice: no silver bullets, just structure 07:00 – Finding the right “fuel” to scale as a solo advisor 09:00 – Adam's upbringing and the drive behind his success 11:00 – "We're a marketing firm that does planning" — what that really means 14:00 – Ethics, trust, and doing what's right in financial services 16:00 – Why marketing is a responsibility, not a luxury 18:00 – The real engine behind growth: onboarding and segmentation 20:00 – Scaling with systems, minimums, and fee structures 22:00 – Delegation, automation, and protecting your time 24:00 – Stop chasing the horizon: focus on the daily activities 27:00 – Protecting clients from bad advice and bad actors 31:00 – The power of mentorship and shamelessly asking for help 33:00 – Finding your own fuel and building a firm around happiness and intention     Key Takeaways: Growth requires structure. Success doesn't come from one big idea — it's the result of repeatable systems, intentional strategy, and consistent execution. Marketing is service. If you're doing great work and not reaching the people who need you, you're falling short. Marketing is how you earn the right to help more people. Your onboarding process matters. A strong onboarding experience is foundational to building trust and increasing conversion — don't overlook it. Delegate to scale. You can't grow alone. Automation and systems protect your time so you can focus on what matters most. Vision > Vanity Metrics. Focus less on arbitrary goals and more on the daily activities that drive long-term success.     Connect with Adam Koós or Learn More About Libertas Facebook: https://facebook.com/libertaswealth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertas.wealth Threads: https://www.threads.com/@libertas.wealth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertas-wealth Twitter: https://x.com/LibertasWM Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@libertaswealthmanagement Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@libertaswealth Podcast Youtube Playlist Link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhkYzW1XyJA0Ef_Hf7nUCMGLSlmfHt43v Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/29Jrqu0MV1VrpRGqgm6seV?si=d98161c1ec484a85 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-retirement-fiduciary-podcast/id1029927148 Email: info@libertaswealth.com Website: www.libertaswealth.com Connect with Rob Brown & The Purpose-Focused Advisor Podcast: The Purpose-Focused Advisor on Apple Website: truestfancoaching.com Mastermind Info: truestfan.com/pfamastermind YouTube Channel: @truestfancoaching LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/truestfan

Dr. Dominic Iacovone is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Relive Health—a nationwide network of health and wellness clinics started in 2017. With a passion for improving quality of life, Dominic has scaled Relive Health from a single location to over 26 open clinics (and 400 locations sold), offering services tailored to each individual's health needs. As a husband and father, his mission is to empower people to live well, not just get by, using a comprehensive approach to health that includes bloodwork, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, IV and ozone therapy, and much more. On this episode we talk about: Dominic's entrepreneurial story, from high school candy sales and pressure washing to building multiple 7- and 8-figure health businesses The personal loss that drew him to holistic health, and his education in molecular biology and chiropractic care Launching Relive Health before health “biohacking” was mainstream, and navigating skepticism The power of video and social media in building a local clinic into a nationally recognized brand Running lean early, but learning to delegate and invest for scale—transitioning from owner-operator to franchisor Franchise economics: location sizes, profit margins, required medical staff, and the in-depth education Relive Health provides Streamlining real estate selection using data on ideal clientele (income, lifestyle, spend) and neighborhood analysis tools Lifetime value and clinical impact: why hormone optimization is their most valuable (and life-changing) recurring service The realities and responsibilities around HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for men and women—why it's a lifetime commitment, and the need for transparency The myth of “get healthy quick,” and why patient education and expectation-setting are crucial Relive Health's ownership model, partnerships with leaders like Orange Theory founders, and Dominic's refusal to sell out just for an exit Passion, purpose, and impact: finding fulfillment in business that enriches lives Top 3 Takeaways Individualization Wins: A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for health or wealth—personalization and comprehensive care create long-term value. Delegate to Scale: Let go of operational roles early; invest in great people to take your business from one location to hundreds. Educate, Don't Just Sell: Success in health, like business, relies on honesty, setting realistic expectations, and investing in customer experience. Notable Quotes “I like nice stuff. I think quality of life is very important... there has to be a reward for your effort, or you'll hate what you do.” “If I'd tried to hold onto everything at my first location, I'd still be there—a half-million-dollar-a-month business but not the legacy I'm building now.” “Starting hormones is a lifetime commitment. If anyone tells you different, they're lying to you. You have to know what you're signing up for, and do it right.” Connect with Dr. Dominic Iacovone: https://www.instagram.com/iacovone/?hl=en Clinic Network: https://relivehealth.com/

Send us a textWhen "Impossible" Becomes Your SuperpowerYou know that feeling when you're drowning in demands that feel completely unrealistic? When you're staring at a schedule that would require 26.7 hours in a 24-hour day? When you're being held responsible for things that are literally impossible for one person to handle?We've all been there. And today, we're talking about a simple but powerful shift that can transform how you handle these overwhelming moments.The Tone That Changes EverythingPicture this: You're facing an impossible situation - maybe it's covering a maternity leave with a year-long waitlist, or managing a patient panel that research shows requires more hours than exist in a day. Your first reaction might be: "It's IMPOSSIBLE!" - that frustrated, overwhelmed, reactive tone that makes your shoulders tense and your stress skyrocket.But here's what we're going to do instead. We're going to shift that tone from reaction to response:"It's not possible."Feel the difference? Your shoulders settle. Your cortisol drops. You've moved from being a victim of circumstances to being someone who can clearly assess reality and make decisions from a place of calm.The Four-Step Framework: Do, Delegate, Defer, DumpOnce you've settled into "it's not possible," you can move into problem-solving mode. Here's your framework:DOKeep this list small. What absolutely must be done by you, and only you? For our maternity leave example, this might be a quick scan of the schedule to identify patients who absolutely need to be seen during that time period.DELEGATEWhat can someone else handle? Yes, we know delegation isn't always easy in our systems, but remember - if you don't delegate it, and it truly can't be done by you, someone else will have to figure it out anyway. Make it their problem to solve, not yours to stress about.DEFER (Creative Procrastination)Some things are important but not urgent. Keep a list of these items so they don't take up mental energy, but give yourself permission to put them aside for now. You might come back to them later, or you might realize they weren't that important after all.DUMPYes, you have permission to let some things go completely. That project you people-pleased your way into? That committee work that has no clear timeline or support? Sometimes you need to go back to someone and say, "I agreed to this, but I'm not able to do it anymore."The Research That Validates Your RealityHere's something crucial: A 2022 study in Medical Economics found that to properly care for a typical primary care panel, you'd need 26.7 hours per day. With a high-functioning team supporting you? That drops to about 9 hours per day.Most of us don't have that high-functioning team. Most of us are working in systems that expect us to squeeze more out of skeleton crews while taking on more responsibilitie Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

Stop wearing every hat in your gym. It's time to move from coach to owner.In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper shares the exact steps gym owners can take to reclaim their time, take regular vacations and build businesses that run on systems. He walks you through the process of “climbing the value ladder,” aka buying back your time:- Identify the roles you fill.- Calculate the replacement cost for each role.- Write step-by-step instructions for each role.- Delegate roles from lowest to highest value.- Take time off to test the system.- Identify problems and upgrade instructions so they're perfect.Coop also explains how to coach and evaluate staff and why gym owners often mistake poor systems for “people problems.”Tune in for the full playbook, then apply it and put it to the test by finally taking some time off.LinksGym Owners UnitedBook a Call  0:48 - The steps to take time off2:57 - How Coop climbed the value ladder4:26 - Get the systems out of your head8:45 - Activate your staff11:52 - Is it a people or process problem?

Everyone wants to know “what's next?” So, when the outgoing Republican Governor of Virginia carries a 54% approval rating from a blue-ish (purple?) state into speaking invitations at the Iowa and South Carolina which happen to hold two of the first three Presidential primaries in 2028, the questions start flying. To be fair, they have been flying before and Governor Glenn Youngkin has become very adept at deflecting them with a quick, “I'm just focused on making Virginia the best state for (insert what ever event he is at when he's asked) and that's a full-time job.” However, in just a few months he won't have that job anymore so, will he or won't he? We asked experts in Virginia politics and campaigning to give us their reading of the T.E.A. Leaves.

Sometimes, the system isn't broken—it's just bottlenecked.In this episode, we're continuing our series on translating business strategies into personal growth tools by looking at bottlenecks: those hidden chokepoints where progress stalls and good intentions quietly fall apart.You'll learn how to spot these sneaky sources of friction, and explore simple ways to loosen them—so your habits feel easier, not harder, to follow through on.Key TakeawaysBottlenecks aren't failures—they're leverage points. Identifying them gives you a clearer sense of where to focus your attention for the biggest impact.Look for where things consistently stall—not where you 'fail.'  Troubleshooting your routines can be more productive than judging them.Delegate when you can—share the load.  You don't have to be the sole operator of your entire life.Automate where possible—to reduce friction and decision fatigue.  If it can be made simpler or more predictable, that's often the difference between doing it and skipping it.Simplify or eliminate what's no longer serving you.  A habit doesn't have to be perfect to be worth doing. The more repeatable it is, the more reliable it becomes. Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

The conversation on America's Roundtable focuses on AG Jason Miyares's leadership in fighting opioids, reducing overdose deaths and reducing violence, thus making communitites in Virginia safer. The data released by Virginia Department of Health Office of the Chief Medical Examiner show fentanyl-related overdose deaths in Virginia declined 44 percent year-over-year and are down over 46 percent from its peak in 2021. Virginia led the nation in annual percentage declines in drug overdose deaths in 2024.   The recent celebration of America's Independence Day on July 4th 2025, reminds us of America Founding Fathers' ingenuity in creating America's Founding Documents: The Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Virginia played a historic role in the founding of the American Republic - 249 years ago. America's Founding Fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason, James Monroe, Patrick Henry and John Marshall were all Virginians. The timely discussion elevates the importance of combating anti-Semitism, and advancing principled policies based on the rule of law as well as affirming the significance of peace through strength. Bio | Jason S. Miyares (https://jasonmiyares.com/about/) Attorney General Jason Miyares' story doesn't start in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. She taught Jason a love for freedom, democracy, and that America is indeed the “last best hope on earth.” A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration from James Madison University and received his J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law. He previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep violent criminals off our streets and our communities safe. In 2015, almost fifty years to the day that she fled Cuba, Miriam was able to vote for her son Jason Miyares to represent her in the oldest democracy in the Western Hemisphere, the Virginia House of Delegates. While representing Virginia Beach, Jason was recognized as “Legislator of the Year” in both 2018 and 2019 from the College Affordability and Public Trust for his work on transparency and affordability in higher education, as well as by the Hampton Roads Military Officers Association of America in 2018. He was also recognized in 2019 by the Safe House Project for his work combatting human trafficking, an issue that his administration is prioritizing. Jason Miyares is the first Cuban American elected to the General Assembly, the first Hispanic elected statewide in Virginia, and the first son of an immigrant ever elected to be Attorney General. He is passionate about preserving the American Miracle for the next generation of Virginians. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JasonMiyaresVA @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

If you go way back thousands of years, you can actually read a historical account of a guy named Bezalel. In this account, it says that God gave him a skill—the ability to build, to create craftsmanship in all sorts of crafts, and also to teach. At Business On Purpose, we are firmly convinced that God has given each of us a capability—or multiple capabilities—to do certain things. But within that, we also lack capabilities in other areas. Yet as business owners, we often spend a lot of time doing things that drain energy from our souls. What we want to do is help you focus on your narrow brilliance so you can be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most. Hey, it's Scott PB with Business On Purpose. Be sure to check out the Dickie and Donnie Show on this Business On Purpose thread—it's a great podcast put together by two of our guys. Anyone will love it—business owners, key leaders, even your kids. Now, let's talk about how to build a chaos-free operating system so that we business owners and key leaders can focus on what gives us energy and is the highest and best use of our time. A lack of documented process can lead to chaos. When processes exist only in our heads, we create bottlenecks that limit our team's ability to function efficiently and independently. That leads to the common refrain: “Nobody does it like I do” or “It's just easier if I do it myself.” While that might feel true short-term, it's a recipe for long-term inefficiency and stunted growth. Clarity is what your team craves. I want to repeat that—clarity is what your team craves, regardless of generation: Gen Zers, Millennials, Xers, Boomers—it doesn't matter. Clarity combats chaos in your operations. When you document your processes—through video, audio, or written templates—you provide your team with tools to perform consistently and confidently. Clarity not only boosts efficiency but also improves job satisfaction and retention among the team members you actually want to keep. As a business owner, you must recognize the true value of your time. Grab a pen and paper—research shows the average business owner's time is worth at least $200/hour. That means when you handle tasks that could be delegated, you're costing your business money. For example, if you're going to the bank or processing payroll—jobs that someone earning $20–$30/hour can do—you're losing $170–$180 of value every hour. That's why well-documented processes are so important. When you share your methods, you create opportunities to delegate to more cost-effective labor. It saves money, lets others contribute, and frees your time for high-value activities. Just recently, I recorded five or six processes on video—hit record, explained what I was doing, stopped the recording, and uploaded it to a folder linked to a process doc. Now, our implementation assistant uses it over and over again. That's how we create scalable systems. As your business grows, you can onboard new team members thoughtfully and maintain consistency. Scalability is essential for sustainable growth and helps reduce the chaos that usually comes with expansion. The goal isn't to remove yourself completely from operations, but to strategically spend your time where it adds the most value. By documenting and training others in your processes—and consistently following up—you'll build a more efficient, profitable, and less chaotic business. You'll leverage your expertise and spend time in your narrow brilliance while empowering your team to handle the day-to-day tasks that energize them, even if they drain you. Do it all with confidence and competence. Got questions? Go to businessonpurpose.com/ask and schedule a 15- to 20-minute call with one of our coaches—no strings attached. If you want to be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most, just ask. We'll help you get what's in your head out into a documented system.

TARIFFS: CAN CONGRESS DELEGATE THE DELEGATED?  ROB NATELSON, CIVITAS INSTITUTE. 1870 DC TREASURY

What marketing strategies are actually working in 2025? Karla Singson shares standout tactics from a DC Mexico meetup she hosted, where 6- and 7-figure founders revealed how they're landing clients organically through Facebook groups, trade show podcast hacks, and thoughtful LinkedIn comments (no ad spend required). We also dive into Karla's own playbook: how she's built multiple businesses around authenticity, reputation, and smart delegation.

Joy Is Not a Reward for Success — It's a Tool That Drives Sustainable Success  In this episode, I'm talking to the version of you who's not completely burned out…but you're definitely not lit up either. You're just fine. You're checking off the to-dos without that sense of momentum, joy, or excitement that once fueled your business. Sound familiar? You're not alone — and the good news is I have a plan to help you get you your spark back. This episode is a permission slip to pause, audit, and realign your work with what truly lights you up. I'm sharing the exact steps I've taken (and still take!) to get back in touch with my founder energy, rekindle creativity, and reconnect with the why behind what I do.  Because staying in that “meh” middle is where dreams quietly go to die, and I'm not about to let that happen to yours.Remember, DM me @amyporterfield and let me know one thing that brings you joy. Bonus points if it's a creative project that I can share with the whole community!  HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Joy Is a Business Strategy – Infusing more joy into your day-to-day work is the best way to stay creative, energized, and resilient enough to lead and grow sustainably. 2️⃣ Let Vision Lead and Tell Pressure to Take a Back Seat – When you chase goals out of pressure instead of passion, you create desperate energy that leads to burnout and poor decisions. Reconnecting to your vision changes everything. 3️⃣ Audit What's Draining You And Do More of What Lights You Up – Make space for the tasks, people, and projects that bring you alive. Delegate the soul-sucking stuff. Your energy and success depend on it.
