If episode eight was about creating leverage and increasing deal flow, episode nine is about building the systems that keep deals from slipping through the cracks. In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo continues coaching Dan Wentzel as momentum begins to build. Dan now has multiple legitimate storage opportunities in his pipeline, and the conversation shifts from simply generating leads to managing them effectively. Alex walks Dan through the importance of having a clear lead intake process, a consistent follow-up system, and a structured way to track offers and key performance indicators. With several potential deals in motion, they break down how to organize opportunities, maintain momentum, and avoid letting promising leads fall apart due to lack of process. The episode also reinforces one of the biggest lessons of the season so far: repetition creates mastery. Just like athletes train through thousands of reps before game day, investors must repeat the same disciplined actions—calls, offers, follow-ups, and deal analysis—until the process becomes instinctive. ⸻ You'll Learn How To: Build a simple lead intake system so opportunities don't fall through the cracks Track offers, follow-ups, and key performance indicators effectively Use repetition to improve seller conversations and deal execution Create a weekly accountability rhythm to evaluate progress Organize multiple storage opportunities without losing focus Develop confidence through consistent execution and feedback ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Dan now has four active storage opportunities in his pipeline [2:07] Why leads without systems quickly become chaos [2:29] The importance of tracking offers and key performance indicators [3:10] Building a structured lead intake process [6:00] Managing multiple storage opportunities at once [9:15] Why repetition builds confidence and decision-making speed [14:22] Using weekly reviews to evaluate progress and performance [18:10] How to prevent promising deals from slipping through the cracks [23:40] The value of structured follow-up with storage owners [31:08] Narrowing seller options to reduce decision fatigue [32:17] Why repetition leads to instinctive execution [33:19] Guiding sellers through the process instead of asking permission ⸻ Who This Episode Is For: Investors starting to generate deal flow but feeling overwhelmed by opportunities Listeners who struggle to stay organized with leads and follow-up Anyone unsure how to track offers and conversations effectively Operators who want to build systems that support consistent growth ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Finding deals is only half the battle. Without systems, even great opportunities can fall apart. This episode highlights the transition from hustling for deals to building a process that supports consistent progress. By creating simple systems for tracking leads, offers, and follow-ups, investors can stay organized, move faster, and increase the likelihood of turning opportunities into actual acquisitions. If you're starting to generate momentum but feel like things could slip through the cracks, this episode will help you build the structure needed to keep moving forward.

Caleb and Brittany are podcasting from Las Vegas during the ConExpo construction trade show. They discusses their business operations, including the launch of a new coaching group and Brittany's upcoming presentation on business growth. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on financial maturity, where they credit budgeting software and CFO services for transforming their company from a struggling venture into a profitable seven-figure business. They reflect on the necessity of professionalizing operations and moving away from "management by chaos" to achieve long-term stability. The episode serves as both a travel log of their time in Nevada and an educational resource for contractors seeking to improve their administrative systems. Key Takeaways: Avoid the temptation to fill your schedule with "junk work" during slow periods and instead remain selective to ensure you are available for high-quality projects that fit your ideal business profile. Utilize professional budgeting and management software to clearly see your numbers and ensure that every job you take is generating a real profit. Shift from reactive to proactive financial management by working with a CFO who can help you plan for future growth rather than just looking at past performance. Develop the confidence to charge higher prices by respecting the value of your work and understanding the actual overhead costs required to run a sustainable business. Practice long-term financial foresight by incrementally budgeting for future major expenses, such as new equipment or facilities, well before you actually need to make the purchase.

In this episode, I speak with product innovator Charles Shert about how to develop and launch a product idea.If you've ever had an idea for a product but felt unsure where to start, this conversation is for you. We talk about solving real problems, creating rough prototypes and using customer feedback to shape your design. You don't need perfection to begin; progress usually starts with curiosity and willingness to test your idea.Charles shares how he moved from identifying a simple problem to building and refining a patented product. We also explore why understanding your customer is more important than adding complicated features when you are learning how to develop and launch a product idea.If you are sitting on a product idea, this episode is a gentle reminder that small steps matter, persistence counts and testing early can help you move forward with confidence.Find Charlie here: Website: https://getthemozy.com/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/getthemozy/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthemozyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/get_the_mozy/#YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@getthemozyChapters:00:00 Introduction01:00 Finding a real problem to solve04:00 Designing products using thermodynamics principles07:00 Moving from prototype to sellable product10:30 Using Kickstarter to validate demand12:00 Starting sales through small markets and events14:30 Marketing physical products online16:30 Learning from product development mistakes18:30 Simplifying product ranges for efficiency20:40 Advice for first time product creators23:20 Persistence in entrepreneurship24:30 Final thoughts on product ideasLET'S CONNECTFollow me on YouTubeFind me on InstagramWork with me Buy My Book: Bring Your Product Idea To LifeIf you enjoy this podcast, and you'd like to leave a tip, you can do so here: https://bring-your-product-idea.captivate.fm/supportMentioned in this episode:Amazon Made Easy is now openMy membership, Amazon Made Easy is now open.

In this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I speak with Vanessa Druskat, a globally recognized expert in team performance and author of "The Emotionally Intelligent Team." Vanessa shares the inspiration behind her research, highlighting the gap between anecdotal advice and evidence-based practices for building successful teams. She discusses the importance of cultivating esprit de corps—meaning a sense of belonging, value, and psychological safety—within teams, and emphasizes that this must come from both leaders and team members.Our conversation explores practical norms and routines that emotionally intelligent teams use, dispelling myths around individual emotional intelligence versus collective TeamEI. Vanessa provides actionable examples, such as brief check-ins, team charters, and structured feedback mechanisms, underscoring the need for leaders to be intentional, especially in remote or hybrid environments. Questions from the live audience explored topics such as the role of team charters, overcoming ineffective norms, and the courage required to embrace feedback and conflict constructively. The episode is packed with research-backed insights and practical strategies to help leaders create high-performing, emotionally intelligent teams.What You'll Learn- Great teams do things differently… and intentionally.- The importance of assessing your team's norms (anonymous surveys work wonders!).- Develop a charter and revisit it regularly.- Make feedback part of your culture rather than a once-a-year event- How to lead remote/hybrid teams effectively.- Why you want to finish meetings with a Plus/Delta.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Podcast(10:25) - Defining Team Emotional Intelligence vs Individual EQ(19:56) - Common Team Norms: Good, Bad, and Misunderstood(24:32) - Creating and Using Team Charters(27:12) - Activities to Build Understanding and Belonging(32:11) - Best Practices for Team Assessment(36:54) - Feedback and Accountability in Emotionally Intelligent Teams(41:20) - Constructive Conflict and Avoiding Sidebar Conversations(49:33) - Emotional Intelligence in Remote and Hybrid Teams(54:33) - Final ReflectionsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Team Emotional Intelligence, Team Norms, Self-awareness, Psychological Safety, Feedback Culture, Team Rituals, Team-Building, High-Performing Teams, Team Assessment, Team Charter, Remote Teams, Hybrid Teams, Collaboration, Accountability, Sense of Belonging, Respect, Onboarding, Team Effectiveness, CEO Success

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani delivers a direct message to advisory firms. Market appreciation is not the same as real growth. When AUM climbs because of a bull market, it may boost revenue, but it does not automatically build enterprise value.Ray challenges firms to separate capital market lift from true organic growth. Real growth comes from net new relationships, expanded wallet share, stronger engagement, and intentional investments in business development and marketing.He outlines the practical shifts the best firms make, including tracking net new assets accurately, funding growth strategically, upgrading marketing from SEO to AEO, and setting ambitious targets that are not dependent on market momentum.The message is clear: growth is not accidental. It is earned through deliberate choices, disciplined execution, and a mindset that refuses to confuse momentum with mastery.Key Takeaways70% of RIA channel growth over the past decade has come from capital markets.Firms must clearly distinguish net new assets from capital appreciation.Tracking client acquisition, retention, wallet share, and lifetime value is critical.Advisors must know their CAC (client acquisition cost) and LTV (lifetime value).Firms that build organic growth muscles win new clients even when markets stall.Questions Financial Advisors Often AskQ: What is the difference between market-driven growth and real organic growth for RIAs? A: Market-driven growth occurs when portfolios expand due to a bull run and AUM increases because of capital appreciation. Real organic growth is the kind that builds enterprise value by adding new ideal clients, increasing wallet share from existing clients, creating deeper engagement, and expanding capacity to serve more clients.Q: How can advisory firms accurately measure organic growth? A: Firms should separate net new assets from capital appreciation, monitor actual client acquisition and retention, track wallet share and client lifetime value, and analyze numbers as if the market did not change.Q: What reports should advisory firms review to track real growth? A: Firms should be able to track net new assets from existing clients, new assets from new clients, and opportunity reports showing client meetings and new opportunities created. They should generate reports that clearly distinguish net new assets from capital appreciation.Q: What should financial advisors do immediately to improve organic growth? A: Strip market gains from reports and analyze numbers without market lift. Develop a focused business development strategy with defined roles and funding. Audit marketing strategy, including SEO to AEO and AI usage. Define an ambitious growth target tied to new relationships and revenue streams.Q: What growth rate should firms target for real organic expansion? A: Firms serious about organic growth should pursue mid to high teens year-over-year growth, minus capital markets and inorganic growth.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.
Are bright colours and fast-paced screens harming your child's development? In this episode, we take a close look at what the research says about children's media, classroom colour, and why beauty matters more than we think.There's a reason the old Disney films, the gentle pace of Heidi and Little House on the Prairie, and those exquisite hand-illustrated picture books felt so different from what children are watching today.Studies show that just nine minutes of fast-paced cartoons can measurably impair a four-year-old's ability to focus, self-regulate, and solve problems. And it's not only screens — research on classroom environments finds that heavily decorated spaces with competing bright colours actually lower children's academic performance and increase disruptive behaviour.We've somehow convinced ourselves that louder, brighter, and faster is better for children. This episode will push back hard on that.Whether you're a parent, an educator, or both — this one will make you look at your child's environment differently.
Energy Sector Heroes ~ Careers in Oil & Gas, Sustainability & Renewable Energy
If you're a student, graduate, engineer, geoscientist, or industry professional trying to make sense of where energy is heading this conversation matters.Many of you are navigating career uncertainty, hearing mixed messages about oil and gas, renewables, AI, fracking, net zero and policy shifts.

In this conversation, host Ashutosh Garg sits down with Kris Poria, CEO of EarlyBirds and author of The Innovation Intelligence Advantage.They explore why traditional innovation models are failing and unpack the concept of the “innovation gap”—the disconnect between the pace of external change and an organization's ability to keep up.Discover how leaders can: • Build continuous adaptability • Transform procurement into a strategic advantage • Move beyond episodic consulting • Develop systemic visibility across global ecosystems
WTF Just Happened?!: Afterlife Evidence, Paranormal + Spirituality without the Woo
Hakim Isler, creator of the Psi Games, reveals how anyone can develop psychic abilities through competitive training and why the next generation holds the key to humanity's evolution. Hakim shares his journey from ninja martial arts (ninjutsu, the art of perseverance) to military psychological operations, then remote viewing and Mindsight training with legendary remote viewers Paul Smith, Joe McMoneagle, and Dale Graff. He explains the difference between remote viewing (perceiving information at a distance) and Mindsight (seeing through blindfolds), why his best remote viewing happened when stressed and rushed (not calm and meditative), and Ingo Swann's principle: "You should be able to remote view in a foxhole." We discuss the Psi Games, a cross-generational conference featuring lectures, workshops, and tournament-style competitions in remote viewing, dowsing, and Mindsight. Hakim describes Dahlia's perfect Mindsight run in under one minute that earned a standing ovation and inspired hundreds to start training, and how the event grew from 100 to 620 attendees in year one. The conversation covers Hakim's childhood experiences (walking at eight months as a sign for his mother to leave abuse, predicting lottery numbers at nine, declaring he'd become a ninja and fulfilling that prophecy 12 years later), his out-of-body experience receiving messages about protecting planets from low vibrational entities, why ethical mentorship matters for young people developing psi abilities, and his palm leaf reading confirming past life experiences. This episode is for anyone interested in developing psychic abilities, parents noticing unusual abilities in children, or those seeking practical psi training.

Today's episode is all about what I've learned from doing the 75 Style Hard challenge, created by fashion TikToker Mandy Lee (Old Loser in Brooklyn). The rules are to get dressed intentionally every day for 75 days, buy nothing new, document outfits, and set personal style goals. For me, daily styling has revealed that fit issues were the main reason I avoided many items in my closet, so tailoring has been the key to success in this challenge. I've realized I wear durable fabrics most and I've leaned into using hair, makeup, and accessories to refresh outfits. Tune in as I discuss the novelty effect, impulse buying, and the importance of “domesticating” clothes into a signature style, because ultimately, style is a relationship with what you already own.

In this episode, Jay Stringer explores five core longings that drive us—and why we need to welcome them rather than try to conquer them or shut them down.

Eric introduces Podhouse, a strategic initiative described as a mobile content creation war room designed to amplify industry events. Moving beyond traditional podcasting, this project utilizes remote studio hubs to capture deep, authentic conversations that typically occur off-camera during trade shows and conferences. By documenting these interactions in long-form and short-form media, the creators aim to build a lasting digital legacy for contractors, brands, and innovators. The movement focuses on networking and authority positioning, transforming fleeting event moments into year-round marketing momentum. Ultimately, Podhouse serves as an off-hours epicenter where industry leaders collaborate to elevate the visibility of blue-collar businesses across the country. Key Takeaways: Immediately document your insights and lessons learned from major events to ensure they become long-term assets rather than forgotten notes in a drawer. Seek out "off-hours" opportunities for deep, meaningful conversations that go beyond the surface-level networking found on a trade show floor. Collaborate with peers and industry leaders to create an "amplification engine" that increases visibility and authority for everyone involved. Develop a strategic content plan that turns temporary, high-energy moments into lasting stories that resonate with your audience all year round. Actively engage with your professional community by showing up to events, supporting others, and sharing your unique perspective to help elevate the entire industry.

In this episode of PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, we take a structured, evidence-based approach to the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. From confirming the diagnosis and screening for concerning features to optimizing outpatient therapy and executing a protocolized emergency department strategy, this episode walks through what works. We review the role of NSAIDs and triptans, clarify how IV fluids and ketorolac fit into care, and provide a stepwise framework for dopamine antagonists, valproate bridge therapy, DHE protocols, steroids, discharge planning, and admission decisions. Practical dosing, reassessment timing, and family-centered communication strategies are emphasized throughout. Learning Objectives Recognize the clinical features of pediatric migraine and distinguish it from secondary causes of headache. Implement a stepwise, evidence-based emergency department approach to acute pediatric migraine, including appropriate medication selection and timing of reassessment. Develop safe discharge and follow-up plans by defining treatment endpoints, minimizing medication overuse, and identifying patients who require referral or inpatient management. References 1.

And today we're gonna talk about the acute treatment of migraine headache in children and adolescents. This is bread and butter for the PED, requires precise diagnosis and evidence-based treatment. We're gonna talk about making that diagnosis, red flags, outpatient and ED treatment, as well as some second-line agents, admission decisions, and a whole lot more. So migraine in children is defined by three criteria, and at least five attacks lasting two to 72 hours. So you gotta have at least two of the following: pulsating or throbbing quality, moderate to severe intensity, aggravation by routine activity, and a unilateral location. Although in children, it's often bilateral, plus at least one of nausea or vomiting and photophobia and/or phonophobia. In children headaches are frequently bilateral, bifrontal, bitemporal. The duration might be shorter than adults, especially in kids under second or third grade. And you may have to infer whether or not they have photophobia from their behavior. Like does the child close their eyes or wanna go into a dark room? In the emergency department, we're often diagnosing based on pattern recognition plus exclusion of dangerous secondary causes. Or even more often than that, the patient comes in and says, I've got a migraine. Before I move on to treatments, let's talk about some red flags where you might wanna pause and not just jump to migraine therapy. And the mnemonic SNOOP can be helpful here. And it stands for S for systemic symptoms such as fevers, myalgia, weight loss, or another S, secondary risk factors such as an immune deficiency, cancer, pregnancy, N for neurologic signs, papilledema, focal deficit, confusion, seizures. O onset sudden, or thunderclap. Migraines are often a little more gradual than that. The other O is older age, or technically younger age too, younger than five years or older than 50. Hopefully those patients are not coming into the pediatric emergency department. And then pattern changes, these new symptoms in a previously stable pattern. Don't ignore that. And precipitants, you know, is it worse with Valsalva, position change, or under significant exertion? If these signs are present, you'll probably wanna take a pause and just not throw migraine treatment at the patient. If they're stable, MRI is the preferred imaging modality, but a very sick patient, it'd be okay to get a head CT. If you've got a normal neurologic exam, there's no red flags. Again, you don't need routine imaging for migraine headaches. So let's talk about treatment. So hopefully patients have actually started to treat their headache before they arrive in the emergency department. If they haven't, it's a good idea to have some triage protocols in place. So ibuprofen, 7.5 to 10 milligrams per kilogram, 10 milligrams per kilogram is superior to placebo and it's superior to acetaminophen at two hours. So that's what we would use. Early treatment's critical. So ideally within the first hour of onset. So that's why triage protocols help. We'll give kids 10 mg per kg of ibuprofen and like 30 ounces of Gatorade. Blue is often the first Gatorade choice, though that's not an evidence-based statement. You can also use naproxen, but most of the studies are on ibuprofen. If NSAIDs fail, many adolescents and some older children will be prescribed triptans. The best evidence currently supports sumatriptan plus naproxen or zolmitriptan nasal spray. Rizatriptan is FDA approved down to age six. Adolescents respond to these agents better than younger children, and the route matters. The nasal formulations help when nausea is prominent. Families should be counseled to treat early, use weight-appropriate dosing, and avoid using acute medications more than 10 days per month. Often patients will have already taken an NSAID and a triptan before they get to the ED, and that's where we get into the treatment of refractory migraine. Now this is most of the patients that I will see, and before we push medications, let's briefly review ED treatment goals. You either want the patient headache free. Back to their baseline or mild descending pain. So a pain score of one to three. If you don't reach one of those endpoints and it's not agreed upon with the patient and their family, you've not completed treatments. You should do a reassessment within one hour after each intervention. And let's face it, if you're not reassessing within an hour and defining treatment goals, you're not practicing protocolized migraine care. So in the emergency department, many of you may be familiar with the migraine cocktail. So what is that? In general, it's a dopaminergic agent such as prochlorperazine or metoclopramide plus ketorolac, plus IV fluids. Let's take a look at all three of those components and see if you can guess which one is actually the one that can abort the migraine. So fluids are commonly given in pediatric migraine, but they alone do not treat it. They're helpful. Many patients have been throwing up or a bit dehydrated, but there are small randomized trials that show essentially no meaningful pain reduction in patients that get IV fluids alone. Well, what about ketorolac? Toradol, like that's the first thing you give to a kid with a kidney stone, right? It does help, but it's really adjunctive. So the main first-line agents for refractory or status migrainosus in the emergency department are the dopamine antagonists, and the first-line treatment for most patients is prochlorperazine or Compazine. The dose is 0.15 milligram per kilogram IV. The max is 10 milligrams. This is the backbone of ED migraine care. And why do they work? Well, migraines aren't just some random vascular headache. This is an inherited disorder with central pain pathways gone awry. Dopamine plays a large role in that pain, nausea, hypersensitivity, amplification of symptoms and more that, frankly, I won't get into this podcast because molecules hurt my head. The dopamine antagonists treat the headache, they reduce the nausea, and they just tamp down this process. Overall, the response rates approach 85%. Some studies have suggested that the response rate is about 77% at an hour and 90% at three hours. If you add the ketorolac and IV fluids, you get your response rate up to about 93 to 94%. These agents really do work well together. There have been randomized trials comparing IV prochlorperazine versus ketorolac. 85% of prochlorperazine patients achieved headache relief versus only 55% of ketorolac patients. So ketorolac helps, but really it's the prochlorperazine. Metoclopramide, or Reglan, is used in a lot of centers as well. There are some smaller studies in children and adolescents that show that prochlorperazine is more effective, but if kids have an adverse reaction, more on that in a moment, or they prefer metoclopramide because they've responded to it in the past, it's okay to go with it as well. Right. So what does it actually look like when you give the migraine cocktail to a patient? I think it's important to explain to patients and families what to expect, and if this is a teenager, I'm talking to them directly. I mean, they're getting the medication first and foremost. I tell them that the most effective way to treat their headache is with an IV. This often causes lots of angst, even in older teenagers. The medication just does not get to the brain as effectively and fast enough if you take it by mouth. Many patients who get the dopaminergic agents, so prochlorperazine, will invariably feel jittery or anxious or like they gotta move or like they got ants in their pants. I tell them to expect this so they're not surprised and worried when it happens. I tell them that once they start feeling that way, it means the medicine is probably working. They need to hit the nurse button and we're gonna get them up and have them take a walk. This fixes it for the majority of patients just getting up and moving. In adult centers, even with the initial administration of the prochlorperazine or as sort of a reflexive response to any of those symptoms, they just give a slug of IV Benadryl. There's some studies in adolescents especially that this may decrease the effectiveness of the IV agents you're giving in the first place, and it may also increase return rates to the ED. So I will use IV diphenhydramine if getting up and moving around isn't working, or if the distress is significant, or if the patient clearly indicates they've needed it in the past. So if after the migraine cocktail, the patient has met their pain goals and the reassessment is favorable, they can go home to outpatient follow-up. How about if the headache got better, but not all the way? It's usually when the initial migraine cocktail didn't achieve the pain endpoints fully, like it helped partially. If the dopamine blockade didn't do anything, valproate is unlikely to rescue the case. And so valproate works on GABA and it stabilizes some of these pain processes, but the dopaminergic agent needs to have done something first for valproate to work. Per the most common protocol, you give an initial dose of IV valproate, then you discharge the patient home on Depakote ER. So oral valproic acid under 10 years old or under 50 kilograms, 250 milligrams PO twice a day for two weeks, or older than 10 or greater than 50 kilos, 500 milligrams twice a day for two weeks. This is the extended release and it's most helpful if you give the first oral dose in the emergency department. So that's why it's very important to build this protocol in advance. If you don't have IV valproate, then don't just give the patient oral valproate, and definitely don't prescribe an oral course for discharge. All right, well, what about DHE? Dihydroergotamine for refractory or status migrainosus? Generally, this is only given at pediatric centers where you have neurology coverage. It's contraindicated if you've had another dose of DHE within 14 days, or you've had any triptan of any sort within 24 hours, and you must obtain a pregnancy test in adolescent females before giving it. The dosing for less than 30 kilograms is 0.5 milligram. At least 30 kilograms is one milligram. You give 50% of the dose over three minutes, then the remaining 50% over 30 minutes. If this is gonna work, the patients are gonna start feeling wretched at first. They're gonna get very nauseous and they're gonna vomit. They're gonna have flushing, and you'll see transient hypertension. Most of that resolves within the hour in most centers. If you're committing to DHE, you're kind of bringing the patient into the hospital anyway, though some facilities will have DHE done in the emergency department with close outpatient follow-up. Either way, it's really best practice to involve child neurology if you're giving DHE. Alright, well what about steroids? They give those in grownups too, right? Steroids really only have a role for recurrence prevention in children. So for kids that have a history of returning within 72 hours for rebound headache, you can give dexamethasone 0.6 milligram per kilogram IV dose, the max of 10 milligrams. You do not discharge them home on a steroid prescription or a Medrol dose pack or something else, and this can cut the recurrence risk down a bit. There's other therapies out there like magnesium and ketamine. There's just not enough evidence there. And the purpose of this episode is to discuss the therapies that have good evidence behind them and should be part of protocols across the country. Some patients are unfortunately not responsive to emergency department therapy and need admission. The main inpatient therapy is the DHE protocol. If they're not DHE eligible, they haven't tolerated it well or it's unavailable, admission's unlikely to help them unless they just need some IV fluids to help them get back up on their feet. You should consult neurology if the headache goals are not met after maximizing ED therapy for advice. And we should definitely avoid opioids. They don't treat patients with migraines. They increase recurrence risk. They increase revisit rates. Again, the dopamine antagonist prochlorperazine, it's superior for sustained relief when families ask about them, and fortunately they're asking about opioids far less. We use medications that treat the migraine pain pathways and signaling. We don't just wanna mask the pain. All right, so that's all I've got on the acute management of migraine headaches, especially in the emergency department. Remember that migraine care in the ED should be protocolized and evidence-based. IV fluids are supportive. Prochlorperazine is the first line, or you can use metoclopramide as well. Ketorolac is an adjunctive therapy. Valproate is next line. If you've gotta escalate, and DHE is specialized therapy, you can start in the ED, but most of these patients are getting admitted. Dexamethasone or steroids in children can reduce recurrence risk, but they're not really part of the acute management. You should definitely define the endpoints and structurally and systematically reassess patients at an hour. The goal is to get them feeling better to a defined endpoint and to restore function. There is evidence-based pediatric emergency migraine care. You should understand that, plus how to explain why these agents are being given and some of the side effects to patients and families. I find that that approach increases your likelihood of buy-in and success. Alright, so that's it for this episode on the Acute Management of Migraine Headaches in Children and Adolescents. I hope you found it helpful and I can pretty much guarantee that you're gonna see a patient with a migraine on your next shift. If you've got any feedback or comments, send them my way.

Most coaches are grinding for every $5,000 sale. Meanwhile, our top client has invested over $852,000 with us — and they didn't do it all at once. They joined, got results, stayed, upgraded, and kept investing year after year. In this episode, I break down exactly how to build a business where your best clients become your biggest source of revenue and actually thank you for it. What Premium Clients Are Really Paying For It's not more modules, more calls, or more templates. They're paying for three things: the outcome, certainty that your process works, and leadership from someone who will push them to rise. They're not buying your coaching — they're buying who they get to become. Why Higher Prices Create Better Clients I learned this the hard way selling $27 ebooks to thousands of people who never read them. When I raised my prices to $5,000, everything changed. Premium clients show up differently — they implement, they commit, they do whatever it takes. It's a psychology principle called commitment and consistency, and it's not manipulation. It's human nature. The 4-Part System 1. Target high-stakes problems — Money, health, relationships, legacy. If it keeps them up at night, they'll invest seriously to solve it. 2. Build trust before the call — By the time they talk to you, they should already believe in what you do. 3. Create an ascension path — The real money isn't the first sale. It's the lifetime relationship. Have the next level ready when they're ready to grow. 4. Develop your certainty and emotional stability — Premium clients invest with leaders, not with people who are desperate or needy. "If your work truly changes lives, then charging premium prices is an act of service."

Is your pregnancy test negative, again? Let's get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn't. If you've ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter if it's one month of trying or 2 years…. "Trying to get pregnant" can be painful, and the phrase itself is defeatist. The mindset it establishes is one based on fear vs. love. I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively. For that reason, I advocate for replacing it with, "preparing for pregnancy." Doesn't it just sound more peaceful, and open to the process? I think so. Regardless if you are on board with my line of thinking, I do want to share some helpful tips and suggestions so that your path to pregnancy is as informed and efficient as possible. Here are my top tips: My #1 tip for preparing for pregnancy is to NOT put blind faith in fertility apps. Tip #2: Develop a resilient, and positive mindset. Tip #3: Make use of science (diagnostic testing) to understand what could be preventing you from getting pregnant. Oh, and ask questions. Lots of them! Tip #4: Talk to your doctor about things you can do that are in your control like lifestyle and diet. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

In this episode of Masters of Moments, Jake Wurzak sits down with Ethan Orley to unpack his unconventional path into boutique hotel development and management. What started as a post-GFC leap of faith on a 28-room hotel in Knoxville evolved into a design-driven hospitality platform focused on secondary and tertiary markets. Ethan shares how creativity, operational intensity, and disciplined real estate underwriting intersect in his approach to building distinctive properties that stand out without overextending on risk.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell breaks down a powerful mindset shift that can change the trajectory of your life and business: the person you're becoming matters more than what you're building. Drawing from over 1,500 podcast episodes, 1,000+ interviews with top performers, and more than 200 books read in recent years, Travis shares why identity-based goals consistently outperform outcome-based goals—and how focusing on who you become leads to lasting success, fulfillment, and integrity. On this episode we talk about: Why identity-based goals are more powerful than outcome-based goals The danger of chasing success without becoming capable of sustaining it How short-term goal setting (like New Year's resolutions) keeps people stuck Real-life examples of integrity failures from chasing outcomes at any cost How to build habits that transform you into the person your goals require Top 3 Takeaways Identity over outcome. If you become the type of person capable of achieving your goals, the results will follow—and they'll last. Success without integrity always sends a bill. Shortcuts may bring temporary wins, but long-term character determines sustainable success. What you build can be lost. Who you become cannot. Develop the skills, habits, and mindset that make rebuilding possible no matter what happens. Notable Quotes "The person that you're becoming matters more than what you're building." "Success without integrity always sends a bill—and it's probably a bill you don't want to pay." "Instead of asking what do I want to accomplish, ask who do I need to become?"

Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.” “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan? There are rules to borrowing money.” “We say if you don’t get anything, we don’t get paid.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
