On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into a provocative lens on bipolar experiences with author and facilitator Sean Blackwell. We unpack “bipolar awakenings,” trauma, kundalini/energy blocks, and Sean's approach to bipolar breathwork inspired by holotropic methods. This episode challenges purely biomedical narratives and explores how safe containers, skilled facilitation, and embodied processing may help people make meaning from intense states—without romanticizing risk. If you're navigating diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or rethinking mental health through mind–body–spirit, this conversation offers context, cautions, and next steps.   About the Guest  : Sean Blackwell is the author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder and a certified holotropic breathwork facilitator. He leads retreats and coaching focused on integrating intense states sometimes labeled bipolar, drawing from transpersonal psychology and somatic practice.   Key Takeaways: The guest frames some “bipolar” episodes as spiritual emergencies that require containment, grounding, and skilled support—not dismissal. Trauma processing and somatic release may correlate with symptom shifts; the guest uses breathwork to surface and resolve stored material. Distinguish projection (paranoia, grandiosity) from internalization (turning attention inward) to move from crisis to integration. Kundalini/energy language is used metaphorically to explain blocks and releases; scientific validation remains debated. Safety first: structured environment, trained facilitators, post-session integration, and continued medical supervision as needed. The guest's “bipolar breathwork” adapts holotropic methods (faster breathing + music) to invite emotional catharsis in a controlled setting. Lived experience matters: the guest's own hospitalization catalyzed his current model and methods. For clinicians: consider multidisciplinary collaboration—biological, psychological, and spiritual lenses can co-exist. For listeners: educational only; always consult licensed professionals before changing treatment. Resources: book (free PDF on guest site), retreats, and a free 30-minute consult.   Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals for medical conditions.

If you're building a personal or leadership brand - whether you're an entrepreneur, a consultant, or an exec thinking about your next move - LinkedIn and how you present yourself matters.In this episode I speak with Laurie Macpherson about making your personal brand employer-friendly, standing for something specific, and using simple, repeatable actions to be seen by the right people. These are practical signals that directly affect whether you get hired, promoted, or invited to collaborate.Three key areas we covered :✳️ Leadership brand vs. business brand - Why employees need their own “home base” online (LinkedIn) and how frequency of exposure builds reputation inside and outside organisations.✳️ Profile signals that attract employers - The headline, the About section, examples of impact, and the need to fill gaps so recruiters and hiring managers can quickly understand your fit.✳️ The BOLD method + practical career moves - Build, Own, Land, Distinguish - a simple way to plan next steps, own your achievements, tailor applications, and increase your visible credibility.Three actionable takeaways (do these this week)✨ Optimise one profile signal now - Update your LinkedIn headline to answer: Who do you help? What do you do for them? Add a one-line “how” so people instantly know your fit. (Small change, big signal.)✨ Turn achievements into proof - Pick one recent project and write 2–3 bullet points that show the outcome (numbers or concrete change). Use those bullets in your About, CV, and one LinkedIn post.✨ Make targeted outreach part of your routine - Pick three people who could help (former manager, peer, or small-business contact). Send a short message offering value (comment on their work, share a useful link) and ask one simple question. Repeat weekly.https://www.lauriemacpherson.com/----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business Blueprint It's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord: “He is good; his love toward Israel endures forever.” And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away. Support the show

Dementia is a major challenge for the NHS, with one in six people in their eighties developing the condition.

Vik Malhotra, McKinsey senior partner and coauthor of CEO Excellence and A CEO for All Seasons, examines the strategic pressures that now define the CEO role: a "30- to 40-year tech revolution," intensifying geopolitics, shifting consumer behavior, and demographic change. As he notes, "every business at some level is a tech business," and this multipolar, fast-changing environment places a premium on leaders who can "thread the needle" between paradoxes, short-term delivery versus long-term reinvention, legacy versus disruption, and analysis versus decisiveness. The conversation connects these macrotrends to practical leadership mechanics, how to set direction, allocate scarce resources, and design institutions that can learn, adapt, and scale without losing their core. Key strategic insights and takeaways Set an audacious, persistent north star. "The very best leaders set bold, some might say audacious, aspirations early in their tenure," Malhotra explains. Through downturns and market noise, they "persevere" and repeat a few priorities "until the organization internalizes them." Consistency, not novelty, creates credibility and followership. Treat resource allocation as a hard choice. "Capital, expense, and talent, it's a zero-sum game," he recalls from his interview with Jamie Dimon. Great CEOs "starve something" to fund their boldest bets and resist spreading resources "like peanut butter." Make culture operational and selective. Effective leaders focus on one or two levers that reinforce strategy, Satya Nadella's emphasis on a growth mindset at Microsoft being a prime example. They design rituals, incentives, and role modeling that embed new behavior. Build a star team, not a team of stars. As one CEO told Malhotra, "This is not about a team of stars, it's about a star team." Complementary strengths, mutual accountability, and candor matter more than individual brilliance. Institutionalize continuous learning and reinvention. Exceptional leaders avoid the "sophomore slump." They systematize learning—internally by seeking dissent and externally by "looking around corners." "You can never be complacent," Jamie Dimon told him. "You've got to keep pushing forward." Operate as a technology-native company. "Every company is a tech company," Malhotra insists. Technology must be business-led, embedded in cross-functional product teams, and scaled deliberately beyond experimentation, especially in AI. Anticipate nonmarket shocks. Leading teams now run geopolitical and demographic scenarios "to understand how the company might have to pivot." This preparedness extends to smaller firms "thrust into geopolitics" for the first time. Distinguish between experimentation and bet-the-company decisions. Leaders should allow "rapid, cheap failure" to learn quickly, but apply exhaustive risk management to the few "truly consequential, bet-the-company" decisions.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Jade Arthur, a language & mindset coach who teaches job seekers in gaming how to reclaim joy during the job hunt. Instead of treating joy as a reward after success, Jade explains practical ways to gamify the process, name and dismantle the fears that stall progress, and use precise language to communicate value. Listen to learn how small rituals, creative reframing, and clearer self-branding make candidates more resilient, authentic, and magnetic in interviews and networking. Ideal for mid-career changers, international job seekers, and anyone stuck in career-search anxiety. About the Guest : Jade Arthur is a Language & Mindset Coach for job seekers in the gaming industry. She blends expert English instruction with mindset coaching and is the creator of Job Search Joy, a program that gamifies job-search obstacles into “villains” (e.g., Cover Letter Crusher) to make progress concrete, creative, and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Joy is a practice, not a finish line — cultivate small, repeatable moments of progress during the job search. Reframe the job hunt as a game: name obstacles (villains) so they become actionable problems to solve. Identify the underlying fear driving frustration (rejection, scarcity, uncertainty) and intentionally work through it. Language matters: more specific questions and descriptions reveal unique value and improve self-branding. Joy fuels productivity — energy and authenticity become persuasive qualifications in interviews. Use creativity to convert repetitive tasks into momentum builders that produce micro-wins and resilience. Spotlighting others (helpful posts) expands network goodwill and shows value without asking directly for a job. Distinguish joy from forced positivity; aim for chosen, constructive reframing rather than superficial optimism. For sustained wellbeing, combine practical supports (medication or therapy when needed) with creative strategies. Post-pandemic job searching requires new tools and updated self-presentation — specify your niche and skills.

In this 30-minute episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, tax expert Carlotta Thompson (founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America) breaks down practical, legal tax strategies that help entrepreneurs keep more capital and scale faster. Carlotta—an ex-IRS agent turned advocate—explains overlooked credits vs. deductions, when to upgrade from DIY tax software to a professional, and how tax clarity removes the mental drag that limits business growth. If you run a small business or own rental property, this episode gives actionable steps to reduce tax liability, reclaim focus, and use tax-smart moves to build long-term wealth. About the guest: Carlotta Thompson is founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America and an ex-IRS agent who now helps entrepreneurs and real-estate investors minimize tax legally. She runs trainings and the Pathway to Zero program that teach practical credits, deductions, and structural moves to scale wealth. Key takeaways: Taxes are a common mental block for entrepreneurs; getting tax problems under control frees energy to grow your business. When net business income (after expenses) reaches ~$40,000, invest in a qualified tax professional — TurboTax generally won't capture advanced strategies. Distinguish tax credits (government pays you to do things) from deductions (reduce taxable income); many business activities qualify for credits you're likely missing. Use existing business actions and assets (R&D, accessibility upgrades, equipment repurposed for business) to capture credits — don't buy unnecessary items just for deductions. Keep organized records (spreadsheet or QuickBooks) of all expenses — include previously purchased personal items now used for business (computers, furniture, tools). Ask your accountant “How can I make this a tax deduction?” to promote creative, compliant planning rather than yes/no gatekeeping. Reclassifying or repositioning legitimate costs on returns (when supported by code/publication) can materially lower taxes without extra spending. Consider real estate and buying additional businesses as long-term tax-advantaged growth strategies; structure matters for wealth preservation.   How listeners can connect with Carlotta Thompson  : Search: Carlotta Thompson Finance on TikTok / Instagram / Facebook.

This episode dives into the complexities of evidence law, focusing on the rules surrounding character, habit, and policy exclusions. It covers the notorious rules 404, 406, 407, and 408, providing an analytical roadmap to help listeners decode these rules and maximize their exam points. The discussion includes the forbidden propensity inference, the distinction between character and habit, and the MIMIC exceptions, all while emphasizing the importance of understanding the inferential chain and the Huddleston protections.Navigating the labyrinth of evidence law can be daunting, especially when preparing for exams or the bar. Imagine standing at the crossroads of character, habit, and policy exclusions, each path fraught with its own challenges. This episode unravels the intricacies of rules 404, 406, 407, and 408, offering a roadmap to conquer these legal hurdles.Decoding the Rules:Rule 404: The gatekeeper against propensity reasoning, ensuring that character evidence isn't used to suggest a person acted in conformity with that character on a specific occasion. Rule 406: Differentiates character from habit, treating the latter as a reliable indicator of behavior due to its repetitive nature. Rules 407 and 408: Policy-driven exclusions that prioritize societal goals over individual case outcomes, encouraging safety improvements and candid settlement negotiations.The Forbidden Propensity Inference: Understanding the line between using evidence for a proper non-propensity reason and the forbidden character inference is crucial. The episode delves into the nuances of this distinction, emphasizing the importance of mastering the MIMIC exceptions—motive, intent, absence of mistake, identity, and common plan or scheme.Huddleston Protections: These safeguards are essential in preventing unfair prejudice. The episode outlines the four Huddleston hurdles, ensuring evidence is admitted for a proper purpose, is relevant, and its probative value isn't substantially outweighed by the risk of prejudice.Philosophical Tensions: At the heart of evidence law lies a philosophical debate: Can jurors truly separate past bad acts from the current charges? The episode explores this tension, questioning whether the bright line against propensity reasoning can ever be perfectly maintained.Mastering evidence law requires a systematic approach, one that balances legal principles with practical application. This episode provides the tools needed to navigate this complex landscape, ensuring fairness and clarity in the adversarial system.TakeawaysDecode rules 404, 406, 407, and 408 for exams.Understand the forbidden propensity inference.Distinguish between character and habit evidence.Master the MIMIC exceptions for non-propensity purposes.Apply the Huddleston protections to safeguard against prejudice.Recognize the policy rationale behind rules 407 and 408.Identify the exceptions to subsequent remedial measures.Navigate the complexities of compromise offers and negotiations.Analyze the inferential chain to avoid propensity reasoning.Embrace the philosophical tension in evidence law.Title OptionsMastering Evidence Law: Rules 404, 406, 407, 408Navigating Character and Habit in Evidence LawDecoding the MIMIC Exceptions for ExamsUnderstanding Policy Exclusions in Evidence LawThe Analytical Roadmap to Evidence Law MasteryAvoiding the Forbidden Propensity InferenceCharacter vs. Habit: A Legal DistinctionDecode rules for exam success.

Implementing with fidelity matters—whether it's adopting a new math resource, embedding a routine like number talks, or structuring PLCs. But fidelity is not the same as rigidity. When we cling too tightly to practices, they can outlive their usefulness and prevent innovation.In this episode, we draw from research, including Janice Fraser's concept of making durable decisions, to unpack the balance between fidelity and rigidity in math improvement. We explore how leaders and teachers can commit deeply enough to see results without locking into approaches that may no longer serve students.We also examine what it means to hold strong beliefs, loosely held—anchoring commitments in evidence-based math practices while staying open to refinement as new learning emerges.Listeners will learn how to:Distinguish between fidelity to outcomes and rigidity in practice.Apply research on durable decisions to math routines and systems.Use fidelity as a lever for student achievement while leaving space for adaptation.Recognize when it's time to refine, pivot, or let go of a practice.Model “strong beliefs, loosely held” in leading math improvement.Tune in to discover how to implement with fidelity without getting locked into rigidity—so your math improvement efforts remain both focused and adaptable.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Sugar-Free Diet Benefits: Gut Health, Parasites & Cravings | 50 kg Drop Podcast SummaryStruggling with sugar cravings, weight stalls, or brain fog? In this 50 kg Drop Podcast episode, host [Your Name] chats with Julie Russell, founder of https://www.paracleansecoach.co.uk, on ditching sugar for good. With 30+ years sugar-free, Julie shares how gut parasites drive addiction and health woes—plus tips for families. Perfect for sugar-free diet beginners, gut dysbiosis fixes, and craving crushers.From Family Crisis to Sugar-Free LifeRaised in an unhealthy home—parents battling mental health, obesity, smoking—Julie faced teen weight issues. At 19, married with kids, her son's 1990s woes hit hard: eczema, asthma, ADHD symptoms, and reading regression, nearly requiring special ed.Pre-internet, library dives led to a British Society of Ecological Medicine doctor. Diagnosis: Fungal gut overgrowth feeding on sugar. Protocol: 2 months sugar-free + nystatin antifungal. Boom—miraculous recovery: clearer skin, better breathing, academic catch-up. He's now a thriving engineer.Julie tested positive too (via gut fermentation profile her doc invented). Nystatin + sugar-free sealed her fate—preventing her parents' diseases. Today, she coaches protocols at https://www.paracleansecoach.co.uk, focusing on toxin-cleansing beyond sugar for mood, behavior, and disease prevention.Gut-Sugar Link: Why Cravings PersistModern life (antibiotics, hidden sugars) breeds dysbiosis—fungal/bacterial imbalances now "normal," per Mayo Clinic. These parasitic organisms thrive on sugar, fermenting toxins (like alcohol) that spike cravings, addictions, and mental dips.Proof? 1910s U.S. South hookworm outbreak tanked cognition/economy—deworming fixed it. Fungi grow fastest on sugar; antibiotics tipped the scale. Even GCSE biology skips fungi—Julie's daughter schooled her teacher!Host's story resonates: 42 kg lost sugar-free (post-168 kg COVID peak), but holiday slips trigger urges. Julie: Not weakness—starved microbes rebel. Distinguish bacterial vs. fungal; treat early for easy wins.Sugar-Free Kids: Easy, No-Drama GuideRaising four (37-15) + grandkids? All thrived—big, healthy, low-cravings. Expecting soon? Julie's playbook:Shop savvy: Sugar-free bread/crisps/yogurts.

“Think the event” is central to the philosophy of Alain Badiou, a modern Platonist who has been writing and lecturing in philosophy for over five decades. Badiou said, “Philosophy is the seizure of thought of what breaks with the sleep of thought,” because real truth is found by looking for the exceptions and finding the important connections in time that we have overlooked. Badiou's insight is that you can't see until your eyes have been opened by an “event,” and to his thinking events happen like shockwaves that shake the scales from your eyes and allow you to see something you missed before because you were so invested in one way of looking at the world.In discussing selections from Badiou's writing and lectures from several decades ago, James Myers and Michael Fitzpatrick found many connections between the the polarized politics of today and the philosopher's work and views on political organization and practices of his time. As opposition is increasingly entrenched, Badiou said the key is to base political actions on a truth such as justice that all factions could reasonably support, making the political challengers commensurable to truth rather than existing only to oppose each others' ideas.The three great tasks of philosophy, Badiou says, are “to deal with choice, with distance, and with the exception.” The event is the exception, and philosophy leads us to understand the connections of cause and effect in the exceptions that shape our lives. Thinking the event helps us to distinguish the real from the shadowy projections on the wall of Plato's allegory of the cave, and by opening our eyes to what really happened we regain our agency for change to make something different happen.

In this episode of “Building the Premier Accounting Firm,” Roger Knecht interviews executive coach and author Robert Hunt about accountability, intentional living, and the traits of successful CEOs. Hunt shares personal stories and actionable advice to help accounting professionals and business owners improve their businesses and personal lives. Key Takeaways: Model accountability to foster a culture where employees take ownership. Distinguish between responsibility (fixing problems) and accountability (proactive creation).

Be intentional about living the life you want, aligning actions with values and goals. Featured Quotes: Robert Hunt: “The simplest definition of accountability is you own it.” Robert Hunt: “There is no such thing as work-life balance… Let's work on being one person everywhere.” Robert Hunt: “Don't be lazy… If you know you're supposed to be doing something and you're not doing it, you're lazy.” Behind the Story: Robert Hunt candidly shares his journey from financial distress to debt-free living by selling his house and embracing a new mindset. This personal transformation underscores the importance of accountability and intentionality, which he now imparts to CEOs and business owners.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of products liability law, focusing on its significance in consumer safety and corporate responsibility. It explores the foundational legal theories, types of defects (manufacturing, design, and warning), and the defenses available to manufacturers. The discussion also highlights the importance of causation in linking defects to harm, landmark cases that shaped the field, and emerging issues in the context of modern technology. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the policy debates surrounding strict liability and the journey of a products liability lawsuit.Distinguish between negligence and strict liability in product liability claims.Negligence focuses on the defendant's fault, requiring proof that they failed to exercise reasonable care in the product's design, manufacture, or warning. Strict liability, conversely, does not require proving fault; it holds a seller liable if the product is simply "defective and unreasonably dangerous" when it left their control.Explain the primary difference between a design defect and a manufacturing defect.A design defect exists when a product's fundamental blueprint or structure makes it inherently unsafe, impacting all units made according to that design, even if manufactured perfectly. A manufacturing defect, however, results from an error during the production process, causing a specific product or batch to deviate from the intended design.What is the "duty to warn" in product liability, and what kind of risks does it typically cover?The duty to warn requires manufacturers to provide reasonable warnings about non-obvious dangers associated with their products. This duty extends to inherent dangers, foreseeable misuses, and potential side effects, ensuring users are informed of risks they cannot easily perceive.Briefly describe the "Risk-Utility Test" used in evaluating design defects.The Risk-Utility Test is a cost-benefit analysis that assesses whether the probability and seriousness of harm caused by a product's design outweigh the burden or costs of implementing a safer alternative design. If the risks are found to outweigh the utility or the cost of a safer design, the product may be deemed defective.How does the "Assumption of the Risk" defense function in a product liability case?This defense asserts that the plaintiff, by voluntarily encountering a known risk, agreed to assume the risk of injury. To succeed, the defendant must prove the plaintiff had a subjective awareness of the specific risk and deliberately chose to proceed with the risky conduct.Provide an example of when the "Substantial Change Defense" might be raised by a manufacturer.A manufacturer might raise the substantial change defense if a consumer modifies a product, like removing a safety guard from a power tool, and then suffers an injury. The manufacturer would argue that the injury was caused by this unforeseeable alteration, not by an inherent defect in the original product.What is the significance of Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc. in the history of product liability law?Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc. is a landmark case that established the principle of strict liability in tort for defective products in California. This ruling fundamentally shifted the legal landscape, allowing consumers to hold manufacturers liable for defects regardless of negligence, thereby laying the foundation for modern product liability claims.When might "federal preemption" be a successful defense in a product liability claim?Federal preemption can be a successful defense when a federal statute explicitly or implicitly governs the manufacture and distribution of a product and the product complies with those federal laws. For example, if a drug's labeling strictly adheres to FDA regulations and a state law claim alleges inadequate warnings, federal preemption might bar the state claim.

According to research from Gartner, 77% of sellers report that they struggle to complete their assigned tasks efficiently. So, how can enablement help cut through the noise and maximize rep efficiency to drive business results? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Kim Engebretson, manager of sales enablement at Protegrity. Thank you so much for joining us, Kim. We’re super excited to have you here. As we get started, I’d love if you could just run us through yourself, your background and your role. Great. Thanks Kim Engebretson: Riley. I’m happy to be here and excited as well. So, as you mentioned, I’m the manager of sales enablement at Protegrity. Which is a data-centric security company, which is part of the cybersecurity industry. I’ve actually been in sales ops and enablement for more than 25 years of my career over a host of different industries, most of which was in medical devices than telecommunication, and that ultimately brought me here to Protegrity. But I would have to say that my earliest career back in aerospace and defense really contributed to my love of sales enablement because I learned about manufacturing processes, project management, and I always take that lens of a process when I bring it to looking at a sales process to say, can we refine it? Is it the most efficient? Are there things that we can do? So always using a continuous improvement mindset. So it’s really been fundamental in how I approach most of my sales enablement projects. RR: Amazing. Thank you for that background. I love the thorough experience that kind of leads you to where you are today, and it’s part of the reason that we’re super excited to have you today is you bring a really well-informed perspective to the table and looking at your background, it’s clear that you have extensive experience, not only as an enablement leader, but in all of the different skills that make a strong enablement leader. So as the enablement landscape has kind of continued to evolve over the years, I’m curious how you’ve seen. The challenges go to market teams face evolve, and then maybe what you’re seeing is the most pressing today. KE: Yes. Well, as I mentioned, with having a pretty long career thus far, I’ve come through a couple major milestones. The introduction of the internet, digital transformation. I mean, I was in sales enablement when people had to call in a paper order was processed. So as you can mention, this is a big evolution that we’ve moved to such automation, such efficiency, and so from a go to market perspective, sales hasn’t changed. From the standpoint that a seller must know their product and service, they must bring value to the table so that the customer really perceives them as adding value and being a consultant, being a partner, and making the right business decision. But what has changed dramatically, even in the last five years and is continuing to move at an amazing pace, is that buyers don’t really wanna engage with the seller until it’s much further along in the process. So the buying cycle is still a pretty long period of time, but the sales cycle when the customer and the seller engage is really much further down the pipeline than it normally was. So from a go-to market perspective, our sellers have to know that and know what assets, what webinars, what podcasts, what materials has the prospective customer engage with through their self discovery. And it really precedes ai. But this desire to say, let me educate myself in what’s available before I start talking to a prospective vendor. And from that standpoint. When we do have that first engagement, it’s got to be solid. It’s got to be really a opportunity where we distinguish ourselves from the other vendors that that prospect or customer might be thinking about talking to. RR: Yeah, I think that’s certainly a common challenge that a lot of businesses are seeing, and I think that need to be agile, to be effective, to be efficient in that moment where you’re allowed as a seller, to have that first touch with a buyer is so crucial. I know that kind of as a solution to that. Sales efficiency is kind of a key priority for you. So can you maybe talk us through why sales efficiency is a priority and then how you’re focusing on that and what initiatives you’re using to help you achieve it? KE: Sure. So understanding the prospect. So we have a really strong demand gen organization that is trying to provide leads or prospective leads to our sales team, but that still requires that our sellers really get to know again, who that company is. What industry are they working in? Who are the decision makers? There’s a considerable amount of research and data accumulation that has to take place so that, again, when that seller has that first opportunity, that phone call, that business meeting, that they come prepared. And I believe that customers also expect. That individual to come already knowing quite a bit about them, because again, we work under this kind of accelerated cycle. And so the efficiency part is how do we assemble all that information, how do we synthesize it? And then simultaneously using things like our business use cases, our understanding of the industry, how do we prepare our seller so that they’re not having to do that all on their own? We are providing them those materials and resources so that they can, again, bring their best, you know, representation for that first meeting. So there’s a lot of pressure on that first call, but I think the sales efficiency is building all around, making our sellers. Informed. Knowledgeable and impactful. RR: Yeah, definitely. I think thinking about that sales efficiency and all the support levers that you’re pulling to help sellers drive it, I’d like to maybe talk about enablement technology and how you’re using that to create efficiency. I know you actually switched off of a previous enablement platform and moved to Highspot just recently last year, so I’d love if you could talk us through maybe what motivated the change, how you reevaluated, and then what that process was like. KE: Absolutely. I joined Peg in June of last year and it just so happened the sales enablement platform we were using was coming up for an annual renewal. So there was a natural event that said, you know, I’m new in the role. I was given a new responsibility of sales enablement, so let me test. Whether or not we had the right product, right tool for what we needed. And so I went out and spoke to pretty much the top three or four companies giving our current vendor every opportunity to also come forward and demonstrate what they had that perhaps we weren’t utilizing in that system. So it was really about were there things that we weren’t using, not optimizing in the system. And it was through that process that really Highspot. Distinguish themselves, and I just emphasized that first meeting being so important and really our account executive came prepared, had done some research, was sharing with us ideas that we hadn’t had, even though I had researched all the vendors independently myself, and so they stood out. And that continued through the next engagement and the next engagement. And as the account executive brought in other resources from Highspot through the solutions team, everybody came prepared and demonstrated to me an interest. They were interested in what we needed and they wanted to showcase how they thought the Highspot solution could meet the business needs that we defined. And that really just. Changed the kind of trajectory. So it was up for our incumbent to really lose the business, and unfortunately they did because they didn’t really fight hard enough to sustain it. And again, across the vendors, a lot of common functionality. But it was the way. That the Highspot team was able to really demonstrate what did they think that their solution could do that would be different? And it was, uh, a couple things. Digital rooms. It was the close integration with Salesforce. Were, were really two of the key decision makers, the decisions for us. RR: Wonderful. Well, I first of all am so happy to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with our team, and I think that, you know, kind of speaks to the value of enablement in the work that you do of. How else are you getting sellers ready to deliver these experiences? And then also congratulations on one year. Super exciting. Just past that mark. So gotta call that out. I’d love to know maybe drilling a little bit further into that process of switching. So when you switch an enablement tech stack, what maybe are some of the best practices that you would share for managing that change and empowering reps through that transition? Because I know that’s probably not an easy process. KE: Agreed. That’s probably the biggest challenge with any technology transition is implementation and then change management. So from the implementation side, again, I think Highspot had a great enablement support where the project plan was clear. The kickoff was good. I did have a partner at the time who was working with me on the transition so that I was able to focus on the enablement side. The other person was able to focus on the content. Implementation. So I would say having a good project team internally was really important because you really wanna have people who can focus on the different elements of that transition. But the thing I also focused on was ensuring that our sales leaders really understood why we’re making the change. That they were also helping to articulate the business decision and the value. And then it all came down to just communication, really keeping the sales team well informed why we were making the change, what were some exciting things they could look forward to. And then once we made the change, supporting them through multiple hands-on sessions. So that they could get familiar with the system. And so I was doing, you know, weekly sessions, small group sessions, really to make sure people understood the new navigation, how to find the resources. And then, uh, the big one was introducing the digital rooms. So it was really just about. Change management 1 0 1, communicate, implement, and support. RR: Yeah. Amazing. I think changes in the tech stack are a pretty common scenario that you’ll encounter, but I feel like there’s not so much in the way of guidance or best practices out there for how to do it, so thank you so much for sharing that. I’d love to know, maybe just one more question on this topic, in your opinion. What is the advantage of an enablement platform? How does it help you with sales efficiency? And then maybe a little bit, if you can, share about how switching to Highspot helped you amplify that advantage. KE: Sure. So we were using multiple resources. Our tech stack is pretty, I should say, it’s either deep or wide, whichever way you want to define it, but the ability to compress and integrate. To demonstrate a seamless experience, whether you’re using Highspot through Outlook or through Salesforce or teams, but trying to minimize that feeling of a seller going to multiple systems to achieve something. And more importantly, we have our collateral, our marketing content. We have product information, we have sales process information. We have the ability to collect how to information. And so by putting that all into one system, that’s easy to navigate. Is also giving that seller that kind of efficiency, which is if they have confidence that they can come into one system, quickly, find the answer to the question, whether it’s, how do I, what’s the next step? Particularly for things which maybe they don’t do on a high frequency basis. So they need to come back to how to find that resource. Previously, you know, it was all via SharePoint, which it definitely has some value. But now being able to put everything kind of into one basket, meaning one system, we’re able to provide them, I think a more unified user experience. And then the efficiency of being able to say, I can do multiple things with this one tool that I previously had to go to, maybe three or four different resources, or even people to find the answer to a question. RR: Wonderful. Well, I’m so glad that you’re seeing the degree of success that you are already and that the switch has kind of been a fruitful one. Speaking of some of the work that you and the team have been doing with the platform, we’ve heard that sales plays have been a key lever in helping you improve sales efficiency. So I’d love if you could talk us through how you’re leveraging them to support your sales efficiency initiatives and then how maybe they’re helping you drive. More consistent execution across your sales teams? KE: Yeah, absolutely. So as I mentioned previous to me joining the organization a year ago, we didn’t really have a dedicated sales enablement function. Of course, sales enablement was being delivered by different individuals. And so one of the things that was, you know, my primary objective was improve the onboarding experience and then also help document the processes, or in this case, the sales place. So there really wasn’t a repository or a collection of that. I love the way, it’s what do I need to know, show, say, or do? And I’ve used that so many times, even in my own enablement sessions, because I think that routine, that practice starts to build that understanding of how we break down a sales play. And so first and foremost, brought the right people together through a series of workshops. So that we could create the sales plays. And so the way we started was we used both industry and business use case as the formula for defining the sales plays, and that enabled the team to kind of hyperfocus on for this specific industry and this specific peg use case or solution. How can I define the things that that seller would need to know? And so once we produce a couple of sales plays, that made it a lot easier us for us to template that moving forward. And in fact, that’s all been on the like pre-sales side on winning new business. And now we are moving into building sales plays around the post-sales process about customer onboarding and customer engagement and time to first value. So we’re using those same principles now. Through another portion of the buyer life cycle, so I’m excited to start documenting those processes as well. RR: Amazing. Well, I love to hear that the no say show do structure is so ubiquitous in enablement at Prote. It’s such a useful framework and it really does work. Maybe shifting gears a little bit, besides sales plays, we’ve also heard that you’ve had quite a bit of success, as you mentioned earlier, with things like digital rooms, and you’ve achieved an 83% external share. Adoption rate. So I’d love if you could share some best practices for helping reps regularly use external sharing features, and then maybe how you’re seeing that engage buyers. KE: Digital rooms are by far my favorite. Not only because you can get a little creative, and we’ve created a digital room template for different business use cases or for different customers at the different intervals of where they are in their buyer journey, whether it’s for prospecting or it’s for contract management or responding to a request for proposal. So we look at each one of those buyer seller engagements. As a unique opportunity to define a digital room, and they essentially sold themselves. So I think our sales teams immediately got how valuable these could be compared to, you know, the old school method of emailing customers serially, you know, having to search through your email to find out what was the last communication, looking for resources. And so everybody just really, I think, inherently understood the. Value of a digital room. And again, going back to saying how do we hyper-personalized, how do we customize something for a customer or a prospect, which will help distinguish peg from potentially other vendors that they’re talking to. And in fact, I was onboarding a new solutions engineer just a week or so ago, and when I introduced him to Highspot and the use of digital rooms. The fact that that individual repeated back to me, oh my gosh, I can see the value of this. I was like, alright, you got it. And so I think that it’s not a leap for people to know how valuable digital rooms can be. And the second part of your question is, you know, how did it when the adoption one is, I think there was genuine need in an interest. So those people ran toward it. But I hosted a couple enablement sessions and then. I highlighted the individuals who were doing unique things, they really made their personality stand out in the digital room. They added some stuff that sometimes was funny, you know, or engaging. So using successful sellers to showcase best practices to the rest of the team. I’ve always found that that tends to be more impactful than me sharing my recommendation or even a vendor sharing a recommendation. So when they see another respected seller is doing something and having success with it, then they’re more inclined to say, let me check that out. Let me adopt that practice as well. And so I hosted a enablement session called the Digital Masterclass. Where we took it to, you know, how can we use some higher end functions and features, and I’ll continue to do that as Highspot continues to release some new features and functionality with the digital rooms. RR: Well, I love to hear that, especially I feel like the best part of digital rooms is that they kind of marry, flash and function. So when you can show off a really cool one, everybody’s like, ah, why am I not doing this? And so it seems that’s very much how you’re getting that engine moving. So having heard a little bit about your strategy and the work that you’re doing to drive it, I’d like to know maybe since implementing Highspot, what business results you’ve achieved, any wins, achievements that you’re particularly proud of, programs that you’re running really successfully, that you’d like to share with us. KE: Yes. Well one is, I, I think just the, the adoption rate that you mentioned and the high rate of external shares is indicative of that. The team has adopted this as a, a distinguishing sales function, so that’s one thing. I did take a look at it, and although I can’t give you very specific numbers, I looked at our pipeline from a year ago, you know, year over year, and what I was able to see was double digit growth in both new opportunities created. And new opportunities, not only with existing customers, but what we call net new logos. And so, although there’s other contributing factors, I definitely think that the use of the digital rooms has helped advance the opportunity from say, qualification into then our next opportunity stage. And that’s reflective of the fact that that’s when we say, this is when you now create the digital room. To move a customer from, you know, once we’ve identified there’s a business value that we can deliver to them, is now let’s start to move them into a digital room, start to share more assets and information, which again, can help them inform themselves and be a great place where we can keep a record of recorded meetings, action items, next steps. And it just helps facilitate, you know, the sales process motion and sales tactics. RR: Well, I think. To start. That sounds like you’re making amazing progress and I am sure that’s just reflective of the great work that you’re doing. I really appreciate you walking through kind of that enablement action to then this is how we’re seeing that impact on the outcomes that the business really cares about. And it seems like to your point, the data is reflecting the value of your work. So speaking of kind of seeing that data and being able to. Validate the work that you’re doing. I’ve heard that you’re currently working, as you mentioned on that integration between Salesforce and Highspot. So as you’re making progress on that, I, I’d love to know what value you’re seeing in the integration and then as you’re going, what outcomes you’re hoping to achieve down the line. KE: Yeah, absolutely. So right now we are actually in production. Our integration’s complete. We just haven’t rolled it fully out to the organization. As I continue to fine tune a few things. What I think I’m more excited about now is that it wasn’t how I thought we would be using it. Let me clarify that by saying, you know, floating content, floating recommended sales plays over to the opportunity or from Highspot to Salesforce is. You know, one of the things we expected, but it was a sales operations leader who said, well, can we give them the process guidance as well? And I said, well, sure we can. So this was something that we’ve implemented and we’re now testing out, but this is where I’m also floating over the how to guide, on how to perform the next step. What are the things that you need to do from a Salesforce. Process standpoint as one of the recommended assets. And although we had those materials and we’ve had a lot of how to guides produced in the past, it was always the challenge of somebody going to find the guide at the time that they needed it. And by using the Highspot integration. It is surfaced right there on the opportunity. So it’s literally, you know, look at the opportunity, click on the resource guide, and now we can give them the guidance that they’ve been looking for, or that they maybe stopped doing something and called somebody to get the guidance. So again, I think that highlights the efficiency because we have sellers all around the globe, and we want them to be able to work and not be delayed in what they’re doing because they’re waiting for somebody to answer a question. If they can get the information right when they need it, and again, at the point of use, which in this case would be within Salesforce, within the opportunity. So looking forward to releasing that really in the next, uh, week or so, and I’m sure the team is gonna see the value there as well. RR: Well, I know I, for one, can’t wait to hear about how that goes with the team in the next week. Best of luck to you. But if you’re already finding surprise use cases and additional values popping out at you, I’m sure as sellers are getting in there and using it, you’re gonna find new things pop up that they’re using that you aren’t even expecting. Well, one last question for you before we let you go. For organizations aiming to improve their operational efficiency through an enablement platform. What is maybe one or two pieces of advice you would offer when selecting that tool to partner with? KE: It’s a good question. You know, one, I’m gonna point back to what I said in the beginning, which is really trust, maybe your instinct, which is, if the very initial engagement with a prospective supplier is good, that tends to be somewhat indicative that that business relationship will continue on. If you find that you’re not getting the information. Or you’re struggling to see the value in the tool. It’s not being conveyed to you in a way. That may also be an early indication that, that that could paint how this engagement with that prospective supplier is gonna be so lean into, you know, how does the company represent themselves? Because if they’re successful using an enablement system, it’s gonna be reflected in their own account. Executives do talk to a couple other, uh, referrals. I think it is also helpful. I don’t think a company’s gonna give you a referral that’s not gonna give you a good assessment. But speaking to other companies that are using the product. Particularly if they’re in the same industry, I think is beneficial. And then of course, I would ask to really understand what the implementation plan is. So, and do that early enough when you’re doing the vendor review. Not just what is the product solution, but what is their implementation strategy and plan. How long will it take? And then what is their transition after you have your instance up and running? What are the resources that they provide? And that has also been something that has been really valuable to me, is having the continuing relationship when we transitioned out of our implementation. And then over to the customer support team, CSM. Um, it’s been a good relationship and that’s how we’re continuing to look at how do we leverage the system? How do we continue to optimize Highspot to get the most value out of it? RR: Amazing. Well, I think that’s fantastic advice, and I just have to say thank you again, Kim, for joining us. It’s been so lovely to chat with you and I think we’ve got some great best practices to share with our audience. Really appreciate it. KE: Thanks Riley. I enjoyed being here. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize implement success with Highspot.

Boom shakalaka! Dive into Ep 1,022 of The Clay Edwards Show, July 17, 2025 – 2 hrs of unfiltered reality radio with Clay Edwards firing on free speech, local scandals, & cultural clashes. Kicking off with a passionate defense of uncensored platforms amid AI de-ranking for taboo topics like COVID & crime. Local Roundup: Rudy Warnock's guilty verdict on corruption charges spirals into tragedy – post-trial car wreck & suicide attempt on I-20 near Pelahatchie. Clay unpacks the "victimless" white-collar crime, long federal sentences (20-50 yrs), & painful recovery ahead. Sympathy for family, but accountability stressed: "Nobody deserves that, but suicide isn't the way out." Breaking: Possible raid on Savannah Street – JPD activity, news crews; ties to roadblocks hunting escaped New Orleans prisoner Derek (last seen in MS). "They're doing cop stuff – welcome to the party!" FAFO Champ: Brandon block party shooting (June 21, Mary Miles Dr.) – city-permitted event turns deadly. Ryan Mosley (31) arrested for 1st-degree murder & felon w/ firearm after killing one, injuring another. "Don't go to parties needing a gun – rethink standards for permits!" Shrimp Scandal: Study reveals 30/44 Jackson-area spots serve imported shrimp despite "wild-caught" claims. Kudos to 14 authentic ones (e.g., Drago's, Half Shell, Shaggy's) – call for transparency under new MS labeling law. Immigration Truth Serum: Border chaos blamed on Dems' open policies; regrets good folks caught in crackdown. "No negative Hispanic interactions ever – hard workers, accountable. But illegal entry = crime; come through front door!" Obama's Masculinity Critique: Ex-prez urges men to get gay friends for empathy, share feelings, ditch provider roles, & embrace arts over sports. Clay fires back: "Already have gay alpha friends! This attacks manosphere – ironic from fragile Barry. Distinguish from LGBTQ agenda; assumptions offend conservatives." Epstein Ties: Listener nods to connections & suicides – "Weird how they're linked." Clay's Rants: Offense at sensitivity over words ("gay" as ball-busting, "retard" for stupidity – not targeting disabled). Stereotypes earned; force acceptance backfires (e.g., Redskins name – Indians want it back!). Raw, chaotic vibes on politics, culture, & accountability.

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Pastor Jason answers questions related to his Genesis 32:1-21 sermon.The main idea for the sermon was: When you're fearful of the things ahead, look to your faithful God instead.Questions discussed in this episode: Distinguish fearing God vs fearing man?What does it tell us about our mighty big God that he desires to carry our anxiety?How should it look like for a Christ follower who struggles with fear and anxiety, act obediently according to the Word?What if God doesn't take away the anxiety, pain, or mental illness, when we cry out to God? I did what he asked, but my struggle is real and keeps getting worse.Jacob's fear not only affected him but his family. How does a spouse, family member, friend, etc who is directly affected by the fear of the person they love biblically respond (deal) with it?Was Jacob wrong for making plans? Is there a way to properly plan while also trusting God at the same time?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Dr. Ari Tuckman, a psychologist, certified sex therapist, and one of the most well-known voices in adult ADHD. Ari brings over 25 years of clinical experience to the table, along with his new book, The ADHD Productivity Manual, which takes a honest look at the tools we use, and why they sometimes don't work the way we want them to. It was actually funny, before the call, we were joking about how it's funny that our orbits hadn't crossed before - well, I do get into one anecdote about attending a talk he gave in 2019, but that's basically as close as we'd interacted before this. In our conversation, we unpack how shame and comparison can hijack our energy, how to set reminders that actually help instead of hinder, and why simple doesn't always mean easy. We also touch on what it means to communicate your needs assertively (without over-apologizing) and why trying to do everything perfectly is the fastest route to doing nothing at all. There's a ton of easy-to-access, actionable advice in this episode. I had a ton of fun with it, and I think you'll love it too. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/228 YouTube Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. Include contextual details in your reminders. Put the address, building name, or even office location in the event title so you don't show up on time or in the wrong place. 2. Distinguish between “simple” and “easy.” Just because a task is straightforward (like taking out the trash) doesn't mean it's easy to do, especially with ADHD. 3. Be strategic with your best focus time. Don't “spend gold on garbage” - use your high-focus hours for harder tasks, not emails or unloading the dishwasher. Do less, but do it on purpose. Sometimes productivity means pulling back and intentionally choosing what not to do, instead of doing everything poorly.

This week on TOWTW Podcast, Chelsea sits down with integrative bodywork and somatic therapist Joshua Marable for a serendipitous conversation about the messy realities of human connection. Joshua challenges us to go into our pain rather than around it, exploring how synchronicity, self-awareness, and somatic healing intersect with relationships. They dive deep into maintaining your sense of self within partnerships, the real talk about sex and intimacy, conflict resolution beyond surface fixes, and why infidelity is often about unmet needs rather than simple betrayal. This raw, unfiltered discussion transcends judgment and approaches relationships with the kind of radical honesty that transforms pain into growth – because sometimes the conversation you're avoiding is exactly the one you need to have.SUBMIT YOUR OWN STORYhttps://www.theotherwomanandthewife.com/submitASK US A QUESTIONWe answer questions from other women and wives on our podcast:Submit yours hereHOW WE CAN HELPJoin the Other Women Community: Use Code PODCAST to receive $10 off a community membershipApply for 1:1 CoachingOUR LINKSWebsite: https://towtw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theowandthewife/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theowandthewifeGUEST BIO:Joshua Marable is Somatic Therapist at WellessenceMDWith over 20 years of experience in the somatic-related fields of integrative bodywork, therapeutic massage, mindfulness coaching, and personal training, Joshua Marable brings a wealth of expertise and dedication to WellessenceMD.  https://wellessencemd.com/about/joshua-marable/

In episode 204, Coffey talks with Rosalind Chow about the distinct roles of mentorship and sponsorship in advancing careers and building more inclusive workplaces. They discuss the distinction between mentorship (which helps grow the mentee) and sponsorship (which seeks to change how others see the protege); how sponsorship functions like marketing or PR campaigns for high-potential employees; the four types of sponsorship - creating, confirming, preventing, and protecting; why sponsors risk their own credibility and reputation when advocating for others; how sponsorship doesn't require formal hierarchical relationships but depends on trust and status; how to become more "sponsorable" by being a top performer with clear values and compelling personal story; the risks of having the wrong sponsor or appearing as the "teacher's pet"; and how sponsorship creates inclusion by ensuring high performers are seen, valued, and given opportunities regardless of their background or circumstances. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

While mentorship can change mentees for the better through valuable coaching and encouragement, sponsorship takes it one step further — sponsors can change the social environment around their proteges by actively advocating for, raising the social visibility of, and protecting them. Put simply, while mentors act on mentees, sponsors act on external observers – audiences - to change how they see proteges.  We don't just have the ability to change other people; we also have the ability to change other people's relationships with one another. This ability - the power we have as sponsors - is something we can leverage to better ourselves, other people, and our communities. Rosalind Chow can be reached athttp://www.rosalindchow.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalind-chow-6b25541b0/  About Mike Coffey: Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher.In 1999, he founded Imperative, a background investigations and due diligence firm helping risk-averse clients make well-informed decisions about the people they involve in their business.Imperative delivers in-depth employment background investigations, know-your-customer and anti-money laundering compliance, and due diligence investigations to more than 300 risk-averse corporate clients across the US, and, through its PFC Caregiver & Household Screening brand, many more private estates, family offices, and personal service agencies.Imperative has been named a Best Places to Work, the Texas Association of Business' small business of the year, and is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association. Mike shares his insight from 25+ years of HR-entrepreneurship on the Good Morning, HR podcast, where each week he talks to business leaders about bringing people together to create value for customers, shareholders, and community.Mike has been recognized as an Entrepreneur of Excellence by FW, Inc. and has twice been recognized as the North Texas HR Professional of the Year. Mike serves as a board member of a number of organizations, including the Texas State Council, where he serves Texas' 31 SHRM chapters as State Director-Elect; Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County; the Texas Association of Business; and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, where he is chair of the Talent Committee.Mike is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) through the HR Certification Institute and a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).
