About This EpisodeHere's something that almost never gets talked about in personal finance: most people are both overpaying for insurance and dangerously underinsured — at the same time. In this episode, David Chudyk, CFP® breaks down exactly how that happens, which gaps most commonly cost people everything, and the four-step annual insurance audit every wealth-builder should be doing.What You'll LearnWhy insurance gets ignored — and why the industry is designed to let it happenThe four most common places people overpay (including one hiding in plain sight for business owners)The single most underutilized piece of asset protection available — and why it costs less than most people thinkThe three insurance gaps that can end a business, not just hurt itA four-step annual insurance audit you can actually doWhy your financial advisor and your insurance agent are probably never talking to each other — and what that gap costs youEpisode Timestamps0:00 — Cold Open: The two insurance problems most people have simultaneously2:00 — Why insurance gets ignored: the set-it-and-forget-it trap6:00 — Where people overpay: collision on old vehicles, duplicate coverage, whole life misuse12:00 — Where people are underinsured: umbrella policies, life insurance drift, disability18:00 — The business owner's trifecta: key person, cyber liability, E&O23:00 — The annual insurance audit: four steps to close the gaps28:00 — Close and how to connect with DavidKey TakeawaysMost people are carrying policies designed for who they were — not who they are now. Income, assets, and risk profile all change. Insurance usually doesn't keep up.A $1 million umbrella liability policy costs roughly $150–$300/year. It's the most underused, underpriced form of asset protection available to individuals with meaningful net worth.About 20% of Americans with $5M+ in assets carry no umbrella policy — leaving their full net worth exposed in a lawsuit.Business owners face three specific coverage gaps that can end a company: no key person insurance, no cyber liability coverage, and no errors & omissions (E&O) policy.Your ability to earn income is your most valuable financial asset — and most people have almost no protection for it through private disability coverage.The biggest structural problem: your financial advisor and your insurance agent are almost never talking to each other. That gap is where wealth gets destroyed.The Annual Insurance Audit: 4 StepsStep 1: Pull every policy you have — home, auto, life, disability, umbrella, all business lines.Step 2: Match coverage to current reality — net worth, home value, business size, family situation.Step 3: Check for the five gaps — umbrella, disability, life insurance adequacy, business trifecta (key person / cyber / E&O), and outdated or duplicate coverage.Step 4: Make sure your advisor sees the full picture — someone needs to look at insurance and wealth planning together.Connect With DavidFree 20-Minute Vision Call: weeklywealthpodcast.com/visionBusiness Owner Exit Score: weeklywealthpodcast.com/prescoreAll Episodes & Resources: weeklywealthpodcast.com

You became the attorney, the office manager, the bookkeeper, and the marketing department — all at once.And it's costing you.

Send me a message There's ONE main trait that decides whether you make it as a real estate agent, or wash out. I've worked with 1000's of agents, and the ones who are crushing it all have it. The ones who end up quitting real estate don't.Here's the good news. You're not born with it! It's something you can build, and it comes down to a choice you make every time you get stuck.This is a tough love episode, and I'm going to step on some toes. Unfortunately, the agents who need to hear this the most are the ones making excuses about why they can't win in 2026. Spoiler: not knowing what to do next isn't a valid excuse anymore.This episode breaks down the one trait every successful agent shares and exactly how to build it.In this episode:The single trait every thriving agent has in common, and why it's a choice, not a giftWhy "I don't know what to do next" is a bullshit excuse in 2026How to use AI as a problem solver instead of a fancy Google searchWhy effort is required no matter what, so you might as well put it toward winningThe simplest lead gen move you can make today that has nothing to do with technologyHow to get unstuck by finding people who already figured out what you're trying to doWhy the cloud-based brokerage model is the most underrated resourcefulness hack in the industryThe agents who win figure it out.

In this episode of The Consult Room, I'm exploring a topic that is generating increasing debate within the veterinary profession and among dog owners: the rise of canine fertility clinics.Services such as artificial insemination, progesterone testing and semen storage are becoming increasingly common, but many are now being offered outside traditional veterinary practices. That raises important questions about regulation, oversight and animal welfare.This isn't a discussion about whether reproductive technology is inherently good or bad. Used responsibly, these techniques can support carefully managed breeding programmes and help preserve valuable genetics. But they can also raise difficult ethical questions, particularly when breeding dogs that struggle to reproduce naturally due to their physical characteristics.In this episode, I take a balanced look at the growth of the fertility clinic sector, the regulatory grey areas that currently exist, and the bigger question of whether these technologies are always being used in the best interests of dogs.In This Episode:What canine fertility clinics actually doWhy the sector is growing rapidlyThe current regulatory grey areasArtificial insemination and breeding support explainedThe welfare concerns surrounding some breedsThe role of the Veterinary Surgeons Act reviewWhether technology is supporting welfare or creating new challengesKey Takeaways:Fertility services themselves are not inherently problematicRegulation has not always kept pace with industry growthSome breeding technologies can support responsible breeding programmesWelfare concerns arise when reproduction is facilitated in dogs unable to breed naturallyFuture regulation will play an important role in shaping the sector

Most organizations are not failing because they lack data, strategy, technology, or talent. They are failing because they cannot sense what is changing fast enough, interpret it clearly enough, and align their people quickly enough to act before the opportunity window closes.In this powerful episode of The Clarity Mandate Podcast, Dr. Vivian Atud sits down with Chris Catania, community strategist, leadership architect, author of The Community First Advantage, and creator of the ADAPT Leadership Framework, to unpack why community is no longer a “nice-to-have” leadership concept. It is becoming one of the most important operating infrastructures for organizations navigating uncertainty, AI disruption, declining trust, and rapid market change. Chris argues that the strongest organizations are not simply using better AI tools or faster decision pipelines. They are building community as a strategic sensing system — a living network of customers, employees, advocates, and leaders who help the organization detect change, build trust, respond faster, and create value that competitors cannot easily copy.This conversation challenges leaders to rethink community not as a soft engagement program, but as a measurable engine for growth, retention, innovation, customer loyalty, internal alignment, and long-term competitive advantage.Dr. Vivian and Chris explore why many leaders misunderstand community, why communities often remain dormant or siloed inside organizations, and how companies like Lego, Airbnb, Microsoft, Figma, and others have used community-led thinking to strengthen strategy, product development, customer experience, and organizational resilience.Chris also breaks down his ADAPT Framework:Authenticity, Decision-making, Agility, Purpose, and Trust — and explains why trust is the foundation leaders cannot afford to ignore in an AI-accelerated world.You will also hear why leaders must stop asking whether community matters and start asking how to embed community into the structure of their business.Why community is becoming a core competitive advantage in the AI eraWhy many organizations have a sensing and alignment problem, not merely a strategy or talent problemHow community helps organizations detect weak signals before competitors doWhy trust collapse inside organizations is often structural, not just a communication issueHow leaders can use community to counterbalance distrust created by over-automation and AI-first experiencesWhy community must be measured, funded, staffed, and connected to business outcomesThe difference between community as a program and community as infrastructureHow the ADAPT Leadership Framework helps leaders build authenticity, shared decision-making, agility, purpose, and trustWhy community cannot be “microwaved” and must be built through long-term consistencyThree diagnostic signals that reveal whether your organization has a sensing or alignment problemCommunity is not a side project.It is the connective tissue that helps organizations listen, learn, align, adapt, and build trust at scale.Trust is built structurally.It is not rebuilt by messaging alone. It grows through repeated, meaningful, transparent interactions between leaders, employees, customers, and communities.AI makes community more important, not less.As organizations automate more, people will increasingly seek human trust, belonging, authenticity, and connection.The question is no longer “Is community valuable?”The real leadership question is: How do we build community into our operating model, customer experience, employee experience, and growth strategy?Chris Catania is a community strategist, leadership architect, author of The Community First Advantage, and creator of the ADAPT Leadership Framework. He helps leaders and organizations build community-led strategies that strengthen trust, alignment, sensing, adaptation, and long-term growth.
In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin sit down with Bill Hancock, owner of Bill Hancock Motors in Albertville, Alabama and National Quality Dealer of the Year nominee, for a conversation about a career built on hard work, loyalty, and knowing how to buy a car right. From pumping gas on that same property as a ten-year-old to wholesaling 500 units a week, Bill's story is one of the most quietly remarkable in the independent dealer world.What You'll Learn:How Bill went from detailing cars to becoming general manager in three years — and how living at home with his parents helped him fund his first businessThe wholesale mindset that still drives every retail buy he makes today — and why buying "unready" cars with a clear recon vision is his biggest edgeHow Bill helped launch what is now one of the largest wholesale operations in the country — and why that relationship ended better than most business partnerships ever doWhy lifting trucks and Jeeps became a signature of his lot, and the honest truth about what lenders will and won't give you credit for on lifted inventoryHow he became Ally's first independent dealer signup in over seven years — and why having a dealer number since 1999 with no floor plan still turns headsWhat Bill is doing in his community through the career tech center and school board — and why getting young mechanics ready for a career matters more to him than keeping themIf you're an independent dealer who wants to hear from someone doing it the right way — buying right, growing slow, giving back, and building something that lasts — this one's for you.Support the businesses that support the podcast:Buckeye Risk Services - Reinsurance and wealth strategies for independent dealers. https://theindependentdealer.com/buckeyeBlytz - BHPH payment processing with fast funding and text-to-pay. https://theindependentdealer.com/blytzpay/Ituran GPS - Asset protection and customer management for BHPH and retail dealers. https://theindependentdealer.com/ituranFollow & Connect: Website: www.theindependentdealer.comFacebook Group: @independentautogroupLuke Godwin: @lukegodwinJeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this with a dealer who needs to hear it.
If you have ever looked at your to-do list and thought, I am doing so much… but am I actually doing the right things? — this episode is for you.In this minisode, Jen breaks down one of the biggest struggles florists and creative business owners face: figuring out where to spend their time for the greatest impact. Because the truth is, not everything in your business deserves your time equally. Some tasks feel productive because you are checking a box, but they are not actually creating traction, momentum, or revenue.Jen talks about how many florists get pulled into low-value admin work, overcomplicating tiny details, reacting too fast, doing things themselves that someone else could do, and spending time in ways that make them feel busy—but not effective. This episode is a reminder that if you want to grow your floral business, you need sharper priorities, not just more hours in the day.In this episode, Jen talks about:Why being busy does not automatically mean you are being effectiveHow to identify revenue-producing activities in your floral businessWhy consultations, proposals, follow-ups, content, and networking deserve more of your timeThe problem with spending CEO time on entry-level tasksHow a “full spaghetti plate” keeps you from creating growthWhy you need space in your schedule to be visionary, strategic, and proactiveHow to spend more time on what only you can doWhy templates, systems, SOPs, and better workflows matterHow to prioritize the highest-return activities in your businessThe difference between urgent tasks and important tasksWhy peace is a productive use of your timeHow to think differently if you are in a growth season versus a scaling seasonKey takeawayYou do not need more time. You need sharper priorities.When you stop spending your time reacting, overcomplicating, and doing everything yourself, you make space for the work that actually grows your business—more visibility, better systems, stronger offers, more profit, and a lot more peace.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind
Life Coach Business Building Podcast, The Business Building Boutique
If you are an accomplished coach with decades of experience, credentials, and a track record that earns you respect in every room, but you cannot seem to land paying clients, this video is going to show you exactly why. The problem is not your niche, your marketing, or your people. The problem is that you are too brilliant for the words you are using.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.Yesterday I had four consultation calls with four different brilliant women. Two were global leaders. All four had the credentials, the methodology, and the published work to back them up. And all four came to me saying the same thing: I cannot sell my coaching. Every one of them was missing the same small but critical thing, and once they saw it, the gap between their work and the world finally made sense.In this video, we'll walk through:Why being the smartest person in your niche can quietly cost you clientsThe exact moment your ideal client clicks away from your website and what you need to fix before they doWhy your peers and your boardroom can understand you perfectly while your ideal client cannotThe difference between speaking your language and speaking your client's language (and why expertise lives in both)How Donald Miller's caveman language principle from StoryBrand applies to your coaching marketingWhy hiring a professional copywriter or website designer might not be saving you (it didn't save my four callers either)The simple translation exercise that could be the difference between invisibility and your first clientThis is not about downplaying your expertise. It is about making your brilliance accessible to the very person you are meant to help. When you translate your work into language they understand, you become more of an expert in their eyes, not less.Want me to help you simplify your message and finally get clients?

What is the difference between solitude and loneliness, and why does every creative person need to understand it?There are two kinds of being alone in creative work, and they are not the same thing. One makes the work great. The other wears you down to nothing. The difference between solitude and loneliness is the difference between sustainable creative life and creative burnout, and most of us never learn to tell them apart.In this Deep Dive, host Christian Taylor takes a single line from her conversation with filmmaker Armin Korsos, that filmmaking can be a very lonely process, and explores what it actually means to be alone in creative work, and what turns the hard kind of alone into the kind that makes the work matter.In this Deep Dive on Documentary First Episode 278 with Armin Korsos, Christian draws a line between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is the desert. Solitude is the garden. The work, she argues, is learning to turn one into the other, and then finding the people who remind you that the loneliness was never a sign of failure. It was just part of the work.Anchored in Henri Nouwen's image of the desert and the garden, and C.S. Lewis on friendship from The Four Loves, this episode is for filmmakers, writers, voice actors, painters, small business owners, and anyone who does the quiet work alone and needs to be reminded they are not the only one.In this episode, Christian explores:The difference between solitude and loneliness, and why creative people confuse themWhy the most creative moments come from being alone, and why the work needs the quietThe second kind of alone: the lonely math of budgets, fundraising, and payrollWhy that weight is not a sign you are failing, but a sign you are doing the workWhat both kinds of alone are forging in you at the same timeWhy you cannot offer anything in a room of peers until the time alone has happenedHow finding your people can feel like an oasis in the desertWhat community actually does for the work, and what it does not doWhy you are built for both solitude and community, and need bothCHAPTERS0:00 The Two Kinds of Alone0:20 Armin Korsos on the Lonely Process1:13 The Outside View vs. the Inside Reality1:36 The First Alone. Solitude as the Creative Garden3:38 The Second Alone. The Lonely Math of Filmmaking5:28 Finding Your People. The Oasis in the Desert7:26 What Community Does for the WorkFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between solitude and loneliness?Solitude is chosen, generative time alone that creative work requires. It is where you hear what a story is asking for and find your own voice. Loneliness is the heavier, often involuntary weight of carrying the hard parts of the work by yourself, the budgets, the rejections, the decisions no one else can make for you. The writer Henri Nouwen framed the spiritual task as converting the desert of loneliness into a garden of solitude.Why is filmmaking so lonely?From the outside, filmmaking looks like the festival, the poster, and the applause. From the inside, most of the work is one person alone with the thing: the edit, the budget, the fundraising, the difficult conversations with crew. The finished film never shows the months spent alone with a spreadsheet, so the loneliness stays invisible. It is a normal part of the work, not a sign of failure.What did Henri Nouwen say about loneliness and solitude?In Reaching Out (1975), Nouwen wrote that to live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. He described the movement from loneliness to solitude as the beginning of any spiritual life.How do creative people deal with isolation?By holding two things at once: protecting the solitude the work requires, and building a community that reminds them the loneliness is shared. The time alone is what makes the work. The people are what keep you the kind of person who can keep making it. You are built for both, and you need both.About the Topic and SourcesHenri Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life (1975)The Dutch priest, professor, and writer whose image of the desert of loneliness and the garden of solitude anchors this episode. His exact words: “To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude.”C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves (1960)Lewis on how friendship is born. The moment one person says to another, “What? You too? I thought I was the only one.” Christian connects this to meeting her friend Sarah in 1989 over a shared love of Lewis, Winnie the Pooh, and the Bible.About Documentary First: The Deep DiveEach week, host Christian Taylor takes an insight from a recent Documentary First filmmaker interview and explores it through literature, philosophy, current culture, and the universal human experience. It is a companion show to Documentary First, built for documentary filmmakers, lovers of story, and anyone who wants to think more deeply about what we are watching. Christian Taylor is a documentary filmmaker (The Girl Who Wore Freedom), actress, voice actor, and podcast host based in the United States.Resources MentionedDocumentary First Episode 278 with Armin Korsos: https://pod.fo/e/41b633Henri Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life (1975):https://www.henrinouwen.org/books/reaching-outC.S.

Do you ever feel like there's a version of you that wants more out of life…More joy.More confidence.More freedom.More YOU.But every time you try to move toward her, something pulls you back?In this episode, we're talking about identity, possibility, and why becoming the woman you want to be has less to do with “fixing yourself” and more to do with what your brain believes is possible for you.I share a story from figure skating that completely shifted how I think about growth and identity, and why being around people who are already doing the things you want to do changes your brain faster than trying to force yourself to believe differently.We also talk about:Why sensitive women often stay stuck in old identitiesHow your environment shapes what feels possibleWhy your thoughts are not factsThe psychology behind seeing other people do what you want to doWhy your brain resists change (even when you WANT it)What Rick Rubin calls the “lazy brain”Why more possibility creates more freedomThe connection between anxiety, emotional heaviness, and purposeWhy you don't need to “fix” yourself to create a different lifeHow coaching, support, and community help you expand your identityThe biggest takeaway from this episode:You are not as stuck as you think you are.Sometimes your brain just needs evidence that another way of living is possible.And when you start surrounding yourself with people, spaces, and conversations that expand what feels possible…you start becoming someone new without even realizing it.If this episode resonated and you want support applying this work in your own life, you can book a discovery call with me here:amandahess.ca/bookacallConnect with me on Instagram:@theamandahess
**Content note: this episode includes a brief mention of workplace assault.**Melissa Robinson-Winemiller spent years building an identity around music. She was a French horn player. A professor. A classical musician. It wasn't just what she did — it was who she was.And then everything changed.After facing a series of painful professional experiences that ultimately forced her out of academia, Melissa spent seven years trying to figure out who she was without the career that had defined her. What she discovered — through research, coaching, and a doctorate in interdisciplinary leadership — was that the thing she'd been searching for wasn't a new job title. It was connection. And that the breakdown in her own career had everything to do with a lack of empathy, starting with herself.In this conversation, Melissa and I talk about:What it actually feels like to disentangle your identity from what you doWhy self-empathy has to come before you can extend it to anyone else and How asking "why does this even apply to me?" can become one of the most freeing questions you've ever asked.If you've ever found yourself rebuilding from the outside in —changing careers, reinventing your business, starting over — and wondering why it still doesn't feel right, this one is for you.---Melissa's Instagram: @empathyqueen.eq/Melissa's Website: https://eqviaempathy.com/Brittany's Instagram: @catescreative.studioBrittany's Website: https://catescreativestudio.com/

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast On The Road, we sit down with Eric Mosley, Founder and CEO at Workhuman to explore how recognition data, AI, and human insight are changing the way organizations identify their future leaders.Eric shares how Workhuman's new Future Leaders capability uses recognition data, performance data, and AI to identify the people most likely to rise into senior leadership roles years before they are officially promoted.And this is where it gets really interesting.Eric says the strongest signals are not coming from a traditional succession planning form. They are coming from the language people use about each other, the recognition moments that describe how work actually gets done, and the patterns that emerge across billions of human interactions.
How many times have I watched brilliant, capable women quietly talk themselves out of their own value, defaulting to structures that weren't built for them, avoiding the language of profit like it would somehow compromise their integrity, waiting for the right credential or the right moment to finally call themselves the expert they already are?It's a pattern that runs deeper than most of us realize and it's long overdue to name it out loud. My guest today is Vanessa Roanhorse, CEO of Roanhorse Consulting and Return on Indigenous Studios, a for-profit social enterprise rooted in Indigenous knowledge. A citizen of the Navajo Nation, she started her business in 2016 trying to close her own personal wealth gap. No financial background, no roadmap, just relationships and a willingness to keep asking why. Over the next decade, she evolved her firm into what she now calls an Indigenous ecosystem architecture firm, redesigning how institutions think about risk, building new capital mechanisms, and launching Return on Indigenous Studios to take community-centered businesses from idea to full capitalization.This conversation goes far beyond what Vanessa built. It's about how she built it and why the way she did it matters for every woman listening.Because the story of Roanhorse Consulting is not just a business story. It's a story about what happens when a woman stops asking permission to do good work profitably, starts building systems that didn't exist before, stays rooted in relationships when everything around her is uncertain, and works through enough grief, therapy, and hard decisions to finally arrive at the place where she knows, without question, exactly what she is doing.I think every woman in the middle of her own long game needs to hear this one.In this episode, you'll discover:Why women doing mission-driven work keep underselling themselves as experts and what it looks like to stopHow Vanessa made the case for a for-profit social enterprise, and what that choice can teach any woman building at the intersection of purpose and incomeWhat it means to buildnewsystems instead of just participating in old ones and how to teach that thinking to othersWhy relationships are not just a personal value but a structural strategy, especially in uncertain timesHow to stay grounded in your work and your purpose when the external environment feels chaotic and find what's yours to doWhy more women need to name their version of elderhood and give themselves permission to work toward it nowBehind every woman who makes it look easy, there is a decade of figuring it out. Behind every new system, there are years of asking why the old one wasn't working. And behind every vision of a different future, there is a woman willing to build toward it before anyone else can see it yet. ✨ Ease in knowing that you don't have to shrink your work to make it meaningful.

What if the revenue your business is missing isn't a marketing problem, and it isn't a sales problem — it's a conversation that's never happening between two teams that are supposed to be on the same side? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Sean P. Shannon — Founder of Strategic Growth Design, Fractional Chief Sales Officer, and 34-year sales leadership veteran who built his entire career selling something most people said couldn't be sold: radio airtime. From rising through the ranks at iHeart, Audacy, and Cumulus Media to building iconic Atlanta brands like Q99.7 and 99x as a Senior VP and Market President, Sean has spent three decades helping hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses unlock revenue they didn't know they were sitting on. Now, Sean is on a mission to help entrepreneurs stop the silent war between their marketing and sales teams — and it starts with three questions most businesses have never thought to ask. In this episode, you'll discover:The three critical questions every marketing team must ask their sales leader — and why most never doWhy the gap between what marketing says and what sales hears is costing businesses more than any ad budgetSean's Three V's pipeline diagnostic framework: Volume, Velocity, and VeracityWhat 34 years of selling air taught Sean about making the invisible undeniableThe objection data hiding inside your sales team that is your entire content strategyWhy the founder who hates selling is leaving more money on the table than any other single business decisionHow the Fractional CSO model is giving SMBs C-suite sales strategy at a price they can actually afford If you're building a business and your marketing and sales aren't speaking the same language — this episode is the intervention you didn't know you needed.
Send us Fan MailYour employees are already ahead of you on AI. The data is in and the question is no longer whether this is happening, but what leaders choose to do about it.That is one of the key findings from Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index, and it is the starting point for this week's special episode. PeopleReign CEO Dan Turchin sits down with Matt Firestone, General Manager at Microsoft leading product marketing for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Agents, to unpack what trillions of anonymized signals across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem reveal about how AI is actually changing work right now.What pairing telemetry with survey responses and in-house research reveals about the gap between where employees actually are and where their organizations think they are is striking. And the numbers on how organizations reward, or fail to reward, the people already doing this work will make most leaders uncomfortable. The bottleneck, it turns out, isn't where most people expect it.In this conversation, we discuss:Why the job of a leader has shifted from designing transformation strategy to changing systems and cultureHow the report reframes agentic AI collaboration, not as a threat to human agency, but as an expansion of itWhat "frontier firms" and "frontier professionals" actually means, and why it's a mental model and rallying cry, not a marketing termHow building in the open, leaders experimenting visibly and removing the stigma of getting things wrong, is one of the most quantifiably impactful things a manager can doWhy agent adoption on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem is growing at a rate that will surprise even the optimistsExplore this conversation:00:00 Intro01:14 Inside Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index02:22 Telemetry, Not Just Surveys: What the Data Reveal03:09 Employees Are Ahead of Their Managers on Agentic AI04:37 The Transformation Paradox and Broken Reward Systems06:15 More Agentic AI, More Human Agency: The 49% Finding09:28 How Leaders Should Respond: Build in the Open11:26 Safety, Trust, and Responsible AI at Microsoft Scale13:36 Building a Manager Equity Dashboard in 25 Minutes with Copilot17:31 What Frontier Firms and Frontier Professionals Actually Do20:04 AI, Toil, and the Fear of Becoming Obsolete22:52 The 1 Billion Agents Prediction and What Comes NextResourcesSubscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Matt on LinkedInMicrosoft's 2026 Work Trend Index
You may know who you are in Christ… but are you ready for the assignment He's calling you into?In this powerful message, Lisa Schwarz unpacks the difference between the Holy Spirit in you for your identity and the Holy Spirit upon you for your assignment. Through the story of Esther, she reveals that divine purpose is not just about calling… it's about preparation. Before Esther stepped into the moment she was born for, she went through a season of scouring and polishing. And the same is true for us.Lisa challenges listeners to confront the places where old wounds, false beliefs, compromise, and spiritual comfort have kept them from becoming ready for what God wants to birth through their lives. This message is both an invitation and a wake up call: God has not only called you, He has empowered you… but preparation still matters.In this episode, you'll hear:The difference between your God given identity and your God given assignmentWhy healing and preparation are essential before birthing purposeHow compromise, comfort, and old patterns can delay what God wants to doWhy intimacy with God matters more than strivingWhat it looks like to become spiritually ready for the next thing God is asking of youGod is not finished with your story.He is still preparing, refining, healing, and positioning you for what He already placed inside you.Stay connected: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/buFNYvv Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever sat in your therapist's office and thought "I sort of just want you to take care of me" and then felt embarrassed for even thinking it, this episode is for you.Listener Laurie wrote in after the "I Finally Stopped Shrinking" episode asking why being truly seen by a therapist can feel so activating, why grounding doesn't always hit the way her therapist intends it to, and why part of her just wants her therapist to show up more parentally even though she knows that's not the answer.We took her question and ran with it.Today I'm joined by Katie Fries, LCSW, RPT, founder of All of You Therapy in Philadelphia, to talk about what's actually happening in the nervous system when the therapy relationship itself becomes the source of activation, and why that's not a sign something is wrong with you.In this episode we cover:Why wanting your therapist to parent you is not pathology, it's your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to doWhy being truly seen can trigger a threat response for people with complex traumaWhen grounding can actually widen a rupture instead of helpingWhat needs to happen before any regulation tool can landWhat co-regulation really looks like in the therapy roomWhy the therapist's own nervous system regulation matters more than most people realizeWhat relational repair actually looks like in practiceHow to bring a rupture into the room even when it feels terrifyingHow to know if this is a healing edge or a therapist fit issueAbout Katie Fries: Katie Fries, MSW, LCSW, RPT is the founder of All of You Therapy, a group therapy practice in Center City Philadelphia serving clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Here is a number that should bother you. Only 38 out of 100 powersports dealers replied to an online digital lead in a recent study. That means the customer who just spent weeks researching, comparing, dreaming, and finally hit submit on your website is probably getting nothing back from you.This episode is from the NPDA Partner Series webinar, hosted by Mark Sheffield of the National Powersports Dealer Association. I joined Chris Yeloushan from Rollick for a front-to-back breakdown of what actually happens when a customer clicks on your inventory, submits a lead, and waits to hear from someone.Spoiler: most of the time, they wait forever. And then they buy from the first dealer who shows up.This is one of the most practical, numbers-driven conversations I have had on digital lead handling, follow-up strategy, and what separates dealers who are winning online from the ones who are still flying blind.What we cover:Who the modern powersports buyer actually is and what they have already done before they ever submit a leadThe five Google Micro Moments that map the customer buying journey before they contact your dealershipWhy 60 to 80% of buyers do not purchase the exact unit they originally inquired about and what that means for your follow-upThe Pied Piper ILE 2026 data: half of all powersports leads go unanswered and the industry average ILE score is 44 out of 100A dealer with 100 leads and a great process will outsell a dealer with 500 leads and no process every timeThe five-step Day One response playbook from the birth of the leadWhy you only need to be bad to be better than most of your competitionWhat call-to-action buttons actually convert best on a VDP page (and which one is broken on almost every dealer website right now)Why showing room floor photos outperform both factory images and photo booth shots for lead generationThe 36% increase in close rate that Rollick saw from dealers using automated email nurture versus those that did notHow to shop your own dealership with a fake Gmail and what you will find when you doWhy the fifth, sixth, and seventh follow-up email can outperform the first autoresponderPricing transparency and the out-the-door price debate with data from thousands of Dealer Spike websitesNPDA membership and what 400-plus member dealers are getting for $395 a yearWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20Connect with Chris Yeloushan (Rollick): https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-yeloushan-b078b55/Connect with Mark Sheffield (NPDA): https://www.linkedin.com/in/markjsheffield/Learn more about the NPDA: https://www.npda.orgConnect with Jacob: https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berryFollow the Fixit Online: https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixitMotoHunt for Dealers: https://dealers.motohunt.com

You've tried posting more consistently. You've rebranded. You've niched down further. You've adjusted your pricing. You've invested in programs that were supposed to fix it. And still, six months later, the conversion gap is basically the same and the self-doubt is heavier than it was before. This episode is about why. Not because you made bad decisions or chose the wrong solutions, but because every single one of those attempts was solving the wrong problem. And until the right problem is named, no solution will stick.In this episode, I walk through the five most common misdiagnoses women reach for when their content isn't converting and explain, clearly and without judgment, why each one fails to address the real cause. The real cause is always a buyer psychology problem. And once you see that, everything you've already invested in starts to make a different kind of sense.In This EpisodeThe five most common misdiagnoses women try when they're not converting and why each one addresses the wrong layerWhy posting more consistently doesn't fix conversion when the content itself isn't serving the buyer journeyWhat rebranding, niche clarity, and pricing adjustments actually do and what they can't doWhy investing in more programs often produces the same result as the last one, and what's structurally missing from most of themThe difference between a visibility problem and a buyer psychology problem and why they require completely different solutionsWhy none of your past investments were wasted and what they become once the missing layer is in placeListener ReflectionWhich of the five misdiagnoses have you tried? Not as a criticism of past decisions but as data about what hasn't worked and why.When you think about the conversion gap in your business right now, can you see the buyer psychology layer that's been missing?What would it mean for your content strategy if you accepted that consistency, aesthetics and niche clarity aren't the whole answer?

Strong-willed kids can be some of the most challenging — and the most incredible — kids to parent.In this bonus mini-episode, Sarah and Corey talk about what makes strong-willed kids unique, why they can feel so hard to parent in everyday moments, and why their determination, honesty, and sense of justice are traits to be celebrated.They also discuss how small shifts in how we communicate with strong-willed kids can dramatically reduce power struggles while preserving connection.If you're parenting a child who pushes back, refuses to be bossed around, and stands firmly in their beliefs, this conversation will help you see their strengths and learn how to work with their temperament instead of constantly fighting against it.Sarah also shares details about her upcoming workshop on parenting strong-willed kids. You can find the workshop at https://reimaginepeacefulparenting.com/workshop00:00 — Strong-willed kids: a blessing and a challengeWhy Sarah and Corey both love working with strong-willed kids.01:00 — What makes strong-willed kids specialTheir sense of justice, independence, and willingness to question authority.02:00 — Why strong-willed kids can make everyday parenting harderWhen kids won't “just put their coat on.”03:00 — A real-life example of strong-willed determinationSarah's story about her niece tying her shoes while holding a fidget spinner.05:00 — The nervous system reaction to being told what to doWhy strong-willed people resist being bossed around.06:00 — The surprising realization Sarah's son had at age 13Why he thought one parent was “better.”07:00 — Power struggles and how to avoid themWhy connection matters so much with strong-willed kids.08:00 — Workshop announcementParenting Strong-Willed Kids: Tools to Reduce Power Struggles Without Crushing Their Spirit.Sarah: Hi, Corey.Corey: Hey, Sarah.Sarah: Let's talk about strong-willed kids. Are your kids strong-willed?Corey: Absolutely.Sarah: Yeah, both. What about you?Corey: Both of them. And yes—the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I am extremely strong-willed.Sarah: Me too. And my kids— all three of my kids are strong-willed. And me and my husband. You should see us play board games together.It did make it harder to parent them. And I also love how I am, and I love how my kids were and are. What do you love about strong-willed kids?Corey: I love so much about strong-willed kids. I actually think some of my favorite clients to work with are those who have strong-willed kids.Sarah: For sure.Corey: Because these kids are just… what I love about them is they're going to change the world. They're not going to just go along with the crowd. They're not going to just do things because you said so. They're going to really think deeply about things. They have this deep sense of right and wrong.Sarah: Justice. Yeah.Corey: Yes—justice guiding who they are and what they want to do in the world.Sarah: Yeah. What I love about strong-willed kids is that they speak their truth. You know how they feel. They're not afraid to speak their truth about what they like and what they don't like.Corey: Yeah. You always know where you stand with them. There's no guesswork involved with a strong-willed kid.Sarah: Yeah. And they're so willing to stand up for what they believe in—even if it comes at a cost to them.I love how they won't be bossed around. Because they're little and they're still learning, sometimes they don't realize it's at their own expense.Corey: Yes.Sarah: I think it's something to be admired. And also, as a parent, it makes it tough sometimes to work with them.Corey: Absolutely. There have been so many times where I look at my kids, or I'm talking to clients, and we're just like, “Why can't they just go put their coat on now?”We have these busy schedules we're trying to get through, and sometimes when you have these little strong-willed kids, you feel like you can't get through the schedule because they won't just go do what you ask them to do.Sarah: Yeah.One time when I was teaching a workshop on strong-willed kids—and another one's coming up; we'll get to that—I looked up the dictionary definition of strong-willed. It was something like: tends to do what one wants, even if others advise against it.And I love that.It reminds me of something that happened recently. As you know, I was visiting my sister and my niece, who's eight. I was helping get my niece ready for school. She was tying her shoes, and she had a fidget spinner in one hand while trying to tie them.Of course, tying your shoes is already tricky when you're still learning, and trying to do it with a fidget spinner makes it even harder.I casually said, “Let me hold that.”She said, “No.”I started laughing, and she looked at me.I said, “Have you ever heard the expression cut off your nose to spite your face?”She said no.I explained that it basically means making things harder for yourself just to prove a point. I told her, “I don't care if you hold that fidget spinner while you tie your shoes, but it's making life harder for you. I love that you don't want to be bossed around, and I admit I kind of gave you an order to let me hold it. I love that you're standing up for yourself and not letting anyone boss you around. But holding onto that fidget spinner while tying your shoes is making things harder for you.”She didn't say anything.She finished tying her shoe with the fidget spinner still in her hand.Then when she moved to the next shoe, she handed it to me and said, “Will you hold this?”I said, “Sure.”And she tied her shoe without the fidget spinner.That's such a good example of how strong-willed kids can be. If my husband tells me to do something I was already planning to do, I can feel my nervous system activate—like, He can't tell me what to do.But because I'm a grown-up with experience, I don't shout “No!” when that happens.So that little tweak can really make things easier for strong-willed kids—and for us.Corey: Absolutely.And we were saying off camera too—obviously you are also my boss, and you are the only person in my life who can tell me what to do, and I happily do it without that nervous system response.So all those tweaks that you've taught me over the years—how you manage me—show that there really is a way to work with strong-willed people, whether it's a little kid or a grown-up, to make them feel empowered when you're working together.Sarah: Totally.My middle son is extremely strong-willed. He's 21 now, but growing up he absolutely would cut off his nose to spite his face so he wouldn't feel bossed around.My husband tends to be a bit more traditional—still peaceful, but a little more direct and demanding.One time when my son was about 13, he said, “Dad's a better parent than you are.”I said, “Really? Why do you say that?”He said, “Because I always do what he tells me to do.”I knew what he meant. My husband would say things like, “You have to do this,” and my son would comply.So I asked him, “Have I ever asked you to do something that you didn't do?”He stopped and thought.Then he said, “No.”The difference was that he didn't feel bossed around when I asked him to do something.And he usually did follow my husband too because he felt connected to him—which is another really important thing with strong-willed kids: connection.But it was funny watching his face as the realization landed. The ground shifted for him.He realized, “I do what my mom asks too. I just don't notice that she's telling me what to do.”I thought that was hilarious.Corey: That shows you worked with him so effectively that he didn't even notice directions were happening.Sarah: Yeah, exactly.Well, there are so many fun things to talk about with strong-willed kids. I love them so much.But I also see parents every day—and I know you do too—who feel really stuck. They feel like they're constantly battling and getting into power struggles.That's why I'm teaching a workshop on this.It's on Wednesday, March 18th at noon Eastern time. You can go to reimaginepeacefulparenting.com/workshop to sign up.If you have a strong-willed kiddo, this workshop is for you.If you're in our membership, it's included, so don't sign up separately.It's a live workshop on Zoom where we'll talk about how to work with strong-willed kids so you can get through the day without feeling like you're constantly fighting with them—while still preserving connection and getting the things done that need to get done.If you can't make it live, you'll get the replay and a cheat sheet afterward.If you're listening to this on the podcast, we'll put the link in the show notes.If you're seeing this on Instagram, the link is in my bio.I hope to see everyone there.Thanks, Corey.Corey: Thank you.

When you don't know what to do — don't do anything. Just pray. Daniel knew the writing was signed. He knew the cost. He didn't close his windows. He kneeled and prayed anyway. That is the kind of prayer that wins battles — and Pastor Roderick Webster shows you how to pray with that same fearless faithfulness.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Webster draws from Ephesians 6:18, Psalm 55:17, Daniel 6:10, and Colossians 4:2 (KJV) with a deep and practical word on prayer:Why prayer must be your first response — not your last resortPsalm 55:17 — evening, morning, and noon: what a life of constant prayer looks likeHow God relieves distress when you cry out to Him — Psalm 4:1Daniel's fearless prayer — open windows, three times a day, no matter the costWhy ministers must give themselves continually to prayer and the Word — Acts 6:4How to pray about everything — especially when you don't know what to doWhy you must continue in prayer without ceasing even when the answer hasn't come
The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
Feeling a little stressed lately? You're certainly not alone. Counterintuitively, instead of beating yourself up for not being able to calm down and eliminate stress altogether, consciously taking on more stress can actually make you perform better. It's strange but true: "When you need something done, give it to a busy person." Stress doesn't need to paralyze you or bowl you over, it's a natural energy that can be directed and used to your advantage. The problem is that our ancient brains can't keep up with modern threats. As our guest puts it: tigers of the savanna have transformed into a snarling inbox. Since avoiding stress is impossible, what if we stopped trying to "reduce stress" and instead learned to open the floodgates, harnessing our natural energy to use stress as a source of strength, focus and momentum?In this age of unprecedented technological change and and crippling career insecurity, how can we conquer fear and regain clarity and confidence in the face of uncertainty? Today we're here with Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a stress physiologist, researcher, keynote speaker, and author of the new book Springboard. Her work has been called transformative by the National Science Foundation, and after this episode, you'll understand why.In this episode, you'll learn:Why telling a stressed out person to calm down is the worst possible thing you can doWhy stress management workshops make us more stressedHow rugged individualism is fueling a stress epidemic, especially for menWhy adults desperately need more play, community, and shared challenge — and how that protects your brainWhy we're more afraid of snakes, spiders, and public speaking than the tiny daily choices that quietly steal years off our livesAnd much more...If you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in your own head, this conversation will help you see stress in a totally different light — not as something to escape, but as natural energy you can channel and direct to launch you to the next level of success.

As our guest puts it: tigers of the savanna have transformed into a snarling inbox. Since avoiding stress is impossible, what if we stopped trying to "reduce stress" and instead learned to open the floodgates, harnessing our natural energy to use stress as a source of strength, focus and momentum?In this age of unprecedented technological change and and crippling career insecurity, how can we conquer fear and regain clarity and confidence in the face of uncertainty? Today we're here with Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a stress physiologist, researcher, keynote speaker, and author of the new book Springboard. Her work has been called transformative by the National Science Foundation, and after this episode, you'll understand why.In this episode, you'll learn:Why telling a stressed out person to calm down is the worst possible thing you can doWhy stress management workshops make us more stressedHow rugged individualism is fueling a stress epidemic, especially for menWhy adults desperately need more play, community, and shared challenge — and how that protects your brainWhy we're more afraid of snakes, spiders, and public speaking than the tiny daily choices that quietly steal years off our livesAnd much more...If you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in your own head, this conversation will help you see stress in a totally different light — not as something to escape, but as natural energy you can channel and direct to launch you to the next level of success.

Susan Friedland is a former middle school English teacher turned equestrian author based outside Chicago, Illinois. She traded the classroom for the page and has since written four books, including her latest, Marguerite, Misty, and Me, a deep dive into the life of beloved children's author Marguerite Henry. A lifelong horse-obsessed kid who grew up borrowing horses in Wayne, Illinois, Susan eventually found her way to fox hunting, polo lessons, and the wild pony swim at Chincoteague Island, all while building a writing career that blends her love of horses, history, and storytelling.What we talked about:The real story behind Misty of Chincoteague: wild pony swims, saltwater cowboys, and the tiny Virginia island that inspired one of the most beloved horse books of all timeHow Marguerite Henry went from a city woman with no horse experience to the author of millions of copies across multiple languages, including a Newbery Medal winnerWhat it actually takes to write a book about a beloved figure and why Susan says it's "not for the faint of heart"The hero's journey hiding inside every great horse story, and why that's probably why these books still hit the way they doWhy traditional publishers keep passing on horse books, and why Susan (and the numbers) think they're wrongSusan's story is proof that the path to your dream career doesn't have to be a straight line. It can look like a fox hunting trail through the California hills, a trip to a Virginia island, and an attic full of letters written to a pony. If you've ever felt the pull of a horse book as a kid, this one will take you right back.Follow Susan on Instagram: @saddleseekshorses Subscribe and follow @horsepeoplepodcast for more cross-discipline content and stories.
What does it really take to lead with courage in the nonprofit sector—especially when growth, complexity, and crisis collide?In this powerful conversation, Jon and Becky sit down with Glenda Testone, CEO of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab and co-host of Nonprofits Are Messy, to explore what it means to lead with integrity, accountability, and heart. With more than 14 years as Executive Director of New York City's LGBT Community Center—where she tripled the budget, led a $9M capital campaign, and guided the organization through transformational change—Glenda brings lived experience and hard-earned wisdom to the mic.Together, they unpack:How trust is built through transparency, vulnerability, and doing what you say you'll doWhy accountability isn't about fear management—but about strengthening mission and relationshipsThe mindset shift from “trying not to disappoint anyone” to deciding who you're willing to disappointPractical tools for prioritizing when everything feels urgentThe power of community—and why going it alone is a leadership trapIf you're navigating growth, wrestling with hard decisions, or feeling the weight of leadership, this episode is a reminder: you don't have to do this alone. Trust is the work. Community is everything. And sometimes the most meaningful wins come from getting it right for the people with the least power.Episode Highlights: Glenda's origin story and path to nonprofit leadership (2:41)Leading through growth, complexity, and making mistakes (6:27)Building trust and centering justice and connection (10:59)Reframing accountability to build trust (16:58)How to prioritize when everything feels urgent (21:23)Learning to say no and let go of people-pleasing (25:47)A powerful moment of philanthropy in Glennda's career (28:15)Playing the long game in fundraising relationships (32:31)One Good Thing: Don't go it alone in leadership (34:43)Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/684//Join the We Are For Good Community—completely free.Join fellow changemakers, share takeaways from this working session, and keep collaborating in a space built for connection, inspiration, and real impact: www.weareforgoodcommunity.com Say hi
What matters after decades of building, losing, and rebuilding?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy turns 55, and Nick uses the milestone for a lightning round conversation exploring career highs, crushing losses, and the philosophy that's shaped three decades of entrepreneurship. From living in a truck eating 19-cent tuna to running a VC fund, KP reflects on the moments that actually stuck and why they weren't the trophy wins.The conversation moves between tactical and existential. KP explains how Claude Cowork is now his nurse practitioner (drafting insurance appeals, scheduling appointments, analyzing x-rays), why he runs four Mac Studios doing different jobs while he unpacks office furniture, and why the future of CRM is taking people to lunch instead of data entry. But the deeper thread is about identity: why his worst fear (going back to zero) doesn't actually scare him, why his family has more confidence in him than he has in himself, and why the 2008 financial crisis validated the self-doubt that still drives him today.Key topics covered:Why KP spent his 55th birthday at the DMV after his assistant cleared his calendar without askingHow Claude became his healthcare coordinator and delivered better emotional support than his momThe blank slate moment after his first exit paying off the house and feeling peace, not accomplishmentLiving in a truck with sleeves of tuna and stolen mayo packets and why going back doesn't scare himThe 2008 crisis, personal guarantees, and why losing everything validated his lack of confidenceWhy "celebrating small wins" is for people not building unicorns assume wins, magnify lossesVibe working: running four Mac Studios with Claude Cowork while doing manual labor he actually wants to doWhy relationship-driven CRM beats software: take engineers to lunch after RFP meetings, not Salesforce data entryThe manager vs. maker schedule and why KP operates at sprint speed with no please-and-thank-yousMorning meditation as leadership: visualizing every founder and team member's context before the workdayWhy one founder said "I can feel when you're praying for me" and what that reveals about leading mission-driven teamsThe 10-year goal isn't three private jets, it's building community where all LPs are former founders who exited and came backIf you're navigating what success looks like after the wins, trying to lead without micromanaging while operating at full speed, or wondering whether your worst-case scenario is actually that bad, this episode will reframe how you think about ambition, fear, and what matters most.Listen now.BuildingWorks & Brookwood Sponsors

You're in the right place.”Inside this episode, we cover:The 5 essential sections every service-based small business homepage needsHow to write a clear headline that instantly tells people who you help and what you doWhy clever or vague headlines often hurt more than they helpThe Marco Polo method for headlines + subheads (yes, really)What to include in a mini services section without overwhelming visitorsWhy testimonials matter (and how to think about social proof)Simple, non-awkward calls to action that tell people what to do nextI also share real examples for:BookkeepersEstheticiansService-based small business owners who are DIY-ing their websitesIf your homepage feels cluttered, confusing, or just not quite right anymore, this episode will help you simplify, clarify, and stop second-guessing every word.✨ Bonus: If you want a professional set of eyes on your website, you can book a website audit where I'll review two pages and give you real, actionable feedback.
