For three decades, Alina Stevens' family business got “we want to buy you” letters almost daily—then in 2024, she finally said yes. In this candid conversation, Alina walks the Blue-Collar Twins through scaling All Pro Pest from ~25 to ~50 employees, choosing a buyer who kept the team (only one person left), and the emotional gear-shift from making every decision to consulting while the new owner hums along. It's a masterclass in female leadership inside a family company, statewide routing without extra branches, and knowing when to let the kids “go to college.” You'll hear: The moment “sell” went from never to now—and why employee continuity was the deal-breaker.How she modernized ops: true-mobile routing, GPS/cameras, and ditching IVR hell to stay customer-first.Lessons as a woman owner winning respect on job sites by knowing the craft cold.Why growth means you're never “over the mountain,” and how to communicate for buy-in (not just talk).Life after close: the ego hit of “they don't need me”… and the freedom to ask what's next.

What happens when you devote your life to raising a family—stepping away from the workforce, supporting your partner's career, managing the household—only to realize one day that you have no financial autonomy? That you've been left in the dark about your own future?In this episode, we're joined by Anna Goff, a former stay-at-home mom turned fierce financial advocate, who opens up about her own journey through marriage, motherhood, and an eye-opening divorce. Anna's story is raw and revealing, and it underscores a reality too many women face: being financially vulnerable in a relationship, especially without a paycheck of their own.We unpack what true partnership looks like, how to create transparency around money before it's too late, and the exact steps Anna recommends for any caregiver or non-earning partner to protect themselves—emotionally, legally, and financially.Anna also shares details about her accessible and deeply practical course, Protect Yourself Without a Paycheck, designed for women navigating these exact challenges.
First episode in a new series! Conversations with my friend Mark, "Blessable vs. Earning God's Favor." Psalms 1:1 reads, "Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers." This verse echoes the whole Bible which teaches that God wants to bless, but that He especially wants to bless a certain kind of person. In this rolling mutual talk Mark and I work through the (apparent) tension of being a person God wants to bless versus thinking one has earned God's blessing by being virtuous (or any other number of means). Is it wrong, selfish even, to want to be blessed? Should we entirely eliminate personal desires when it comes to seeking God's blessings? Come and think with the two of us!

Ever had that little voice in your head say, “Who are you to do this?” “Why would anyone buy from you?” “What if you fail… publicly?” Yep. Me too.

lesnorman.comRadio/Podcast Host, Inspirational Keynote Speaker, Cable TV MLB Analyst, Life/Executive Coach, Former MLB Player, Husband, and Father Les Norman has a passion for people. He finds human beings utterly fascinating, loves sharing their stories-the REAL ones-with the world on his radio show and podcast, "Breakin' the Norm". He is also driven to help create passionate servant leaders in business, assist others to establish their own personal brand, and lead men to be the best they can be through life and executive coaching. One of his greatest rewards is to see others live joyfully and be successful! Les grew up without much in life. An abusive childhood could have left him broken, but he used the wrong road map to find the right places. He often heard phrases like "You'll never make it." or "You're not good enough.", but instead of believing the negative voices, it pushed him to become driven to achieve the success he wanted to. He learned what true joy is through faith and family. And most importantly, he used his gift of encouragement to help others in life. He's had a remarkable ride. Earning a Jr. Olympic Gold Medal. Playing Major League Baseball. Cliff jumping into the wild ocean in Venezuela. Sitting in a volcanic hot tub in Costa Rica. And even winning on the hit game show, "Wheel of Fortune"!! But with all those cool experiences, the best one of all...being husband to his bride and best friend of 26 years, Kristin, and being baseball coach and dad to amazing sons Mack (22) and Tayt (18)!

Earning less doesn't mean you're worth less.How much you charge for your service or product, the figure of your salary or your income in general doesn't define your worth in any way.Yet, this misconception that price = worth is a common one that keeps women stuck.In this episode of the Aligned Achiever Podcast, we unpack why this belief can keep you stuck, the difference between price and worth and how to reclaim your inherent value, and how owning your worth might actually lead you to ask for more, not less. It's time to unhook from the belief that you need to earn more to be more, and link into the belief that you are inherently worthy.

On today's podcast: 1) Markets take a hit as President Trump unleashes a wave of new tariff rates. The world is facing some of the steepest US tariffs since the 1930s, with an average of 15%, according to the text. So far, the global economy has held up better than many economists expected after Trump’s initial tariff blitz. A rush to beat the elevated rates spurred a front-loading of exports, aiding many Asian economies and shielding US consumers from price spikes.2) Shares of Amazon sell off while Apple rises following the latest tech earnings. Apple reported its fastest quarterly revenue growth in more than three years, with revenue rising 9.6% to $94 billion in the fiscal third quarter. Amazon dropped in premarket trading after projecting weaker-than-expected operating income and trailing the sales growth of its cloud rivals. CEO Andy Jassy said it was "very early days" in artificial intelligence, and that the company's efforts to lower the costs of running AI applications would draw more customers over time.3) Investors prepare for the July jobs report to wrap up a week of key US economic data. Bloomberg Economics predicts July’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payrolls to increase by 160,000 — higher than the consensus expectation of 105,000.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we welcome Prem Kumar, the CEO and co-founder of Humanly, an AI-powered hiring platform. We discuss how AI is reshaping the world of recruiting by improving speed, enhancing the candidate experience, and allowing for greater scalability without losing the essential human touch. Prem also discusses the importance of building trust with candidates through empathetic AI interactions, and provides real-world examples of how companies are using these new tools to make their hiring processes more efficient and effective. [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Prem! Today's Topic: How AI is Reshaping Recruiting [8:31] How is AI helping recruiters balance speed and candidate experience? AI can make bad processes happen faster just as easily as it can good ones; it's not a replacement for a sound strategy. The role of the recruiter will evolve into one of orchestration, strategically deciding where to implement AI in the hiring workflow. [16:10] How can you build an AI that earns candidate trust? Earning trust is about providing immediate value and setting clear expectations. The goal is not to trick a candidate into thinking an AI is human, but to be transparent about its role in assisting them. [24:57] What are some real-world examples of AI improving hiring efficiency? For AI to be effective, it must be integrated directly into a company's primary workflow, such as its Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Chat agents are now handling candidate intake, answering questions, and initial screening. Companies are using AI to re-engage with the vast pools of candidates they already have in their databases. [35:23] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “AI, like any technology, has the ability to make this happen faster, more efficiently, and at a higher quality; but it also has the ability to make bad things happen faster, more efficiently bad, and at a higher quality of bad. It isn't a way of getting around sound process.”

Competency-based education measures student success by skill mastery, not seat time. Lakeshore's shift to CBE began with an employer who couldn't wait 16 weeks for students to complete a course. Today, students demonstrate mastery through real-world assessments, faculty build flexible learning pathways, and program delivery adapts to the individual needs of working adults, veterans, and learners balancing multiple responsibilities.2. Through innovative partnerships, high school students are graduating with a college degree and workforce-ready credentials. Rocket Academy gives high school students access to a full integrated manufacturing pathway, often leading to a technical diploma before they even receive their high school diploma. The curriculum is designed to fit directly into the school day, removing scheduling barriers and building true college transcripts—not just college “experience.”3. Grant funding follows big ideas and execution capacity. Lakeshore has secured over $32 million in competitive grants, including major awards from the National Science Foundation. Success comes from proposing bold, high-impact projects with measurable outcomes, and from having the internal systems and cross-functional teams in place to deliver those outcomes on time and at scale.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Lakeshore College, visit: lakeshore.eduConnect with Paul Carlsen on LinkedInOther resources:Rocket AcademyWhat is competency-based education (We want to hear from you!

https://teachhoops.com/ Alright, let's talk about the one question that's on every player's mind: playing time. You want more minutes, and I respect that. Every competitive player does. But I need you to understand that playing time isn't something I give out; it's something you earn. It's a currency, and the only way to get rich is by making deposits right here, during practice. When the game is on the line and I look down the bench, I'm not just looking for talent. I'm looking for trust. I'm looking for the player who has proven to me, day in and day out, that they know the plays, that they'll execute their role, and that they'll give maximum effort on every single possession. Your game-time opportunity is a direct reflection of your practice-time reliability. So, you want to get on the court? Show me now. Show me you're indispensable. I'm watching to see who communicates on defense, who hustles back after a turnover, and who executes a drill with the same intensity as the final play of a championship game. Don't just be a practice player; be a practice standout. Make your value undeniable. Your minutes are sitting right here in this gym, waiting to be claimed. They're in the sprints, they're in the defensive slides, and they're in your focus when you're tired. Show me you're not just ready for the moment, but that you've earned it long before the clock ever starts. Make it impossible for me to keep you on the bench. Your time is yours for the taking.
