What if artificial intelligence could actually enhance the human touch instead of replacing it? In this episode, Heather speaks with Eliseo Palous, co-founder of Short Stay Media, to explore how AI - especially voice AI - is revolutionizing guest communications in the short-term rental industry without sacrificing what matters most: hospitality, responsibility, and trust. Eliseo shares the fascinating journey from starting as an intern in a small property management company to co-founding a business at the forefront of AI-powered communication. His insights into the human challenges behind tech adoption and the risks of depersonalized service hit home for any operator trying to scale without losing soul. This conversation is a thoughtful guide for anyone navigating the balance between automation and authentic guest experience, and a must-listen if you've ever felt overwhelmed - or skeptical - about bringing AI into your business. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In this episode, Heather sits down with Karly, a pet and equine photographer who is in the early but powerful stages of building a profitable photography business. Karly shares what it looks like to invest deeply in your growth before the income catches up, how surrounding yourself with the right people can completely change what you believe is possible, and why visibility—especially when it feels uncomfortable—can be the very thing that accelerates momentum. This conversation is an honest look at belief, confidence, and the internal shifts that happen long before external success shows up. 3 Key Takeaways 1. Growth Often Comes Before the Money Karly shares what it looks like to invest in your growth—education, retreats, and support—before the income shows up. Even though she's still in the red, she has complete belief that the results will come, and that belief is what keeps her moving forward instead of quitting. 2. Proximity Expands Belief and Possibility Being in rooms with successful, supportive photographers changed Karly's vision of what was possible for her business. Seeing others at different stages helped her move from "maybe someday" to "I can do this too." 3. Visibility Is the Catalyst for Momentum As a self-described "world-class hider," Karly joined Elevate because visibility felt uncomfortable—and therefore necessary. She realized that taking action, showing up, and allowing herself to be seen was the missing piece between learning and actually building momentum.

Send us a textBig, flashy milestones get the spotlight, but the quiet wins are what actually move a coaching career forward. We open up about how progress hides in the small, repeatable actions most people overlook—smoother conversations, braver follow-ups, firmer boundaries—and why tracking those moments changes how you see yourself. Instead of waiting to feel ready, we make the case that real confidence comes from action first, feeling second, and we share practical prompts you can use to surface the proof you already have.Together we unpack the shift from proving to practicing. Proving makes you chase external validation and swings your emotions between highs and lows. Practicing gives you a stable process: take a small step, gather evidence, evaluate, and try again. We walk through examples from coaching rooms where “start messy” is more than a catchphrase—it's the fastest path to skill, clarity, and steady momentum. When you highlight micro wins at the start of every session, you compress the distance between effort and reward, rebuild trust in yourself, and reduce the doubt that creeps in between big results.As confidence grows, a new challenge often appears: comparison. We preview how comparison hijacks focus and how a personal scoreboard of controllable actions disarms it. If you've been waiting for the right moment to launch, post, invite, or lead, this is your nudge to move now, review later, and let the evidence of action reshape your identity as a coach. Subscribe for more grounded strategies, share this with a coach who needs a wins audit, and leave a review to tell us which small win you're celebrating today.Interested in monthly coaching that helps you elevate how you think, act, and lead?

This episode of the UCM podcast dives deep into the essential role patient education plays in growing an upper cervical practice.  It walks doctors through the entire patient journey—from the very first phone call to the consultation, exam, report of findings, and ongoing care—emphasizing how clear communication, visual tools, and consistent reinforcement dramatically improve retention, compliance, and referrals.  Listeners learn how small details in tone, body language, clarity, and visuals can transform patient understanding, build trust, and turn patients into confident advocates.  The episode also highlights UCM's resources, such as the patient education bundle, new patient email sequence, and fast results workshop, designed to simplify and elevate patient communication while strengthening a practice's brand and long-term growth.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Sandy Pardue and Dana Salisbury explore the often-overlooked power of a well-crafted job description. They explain why generic or outdated descriptions can set your practice up for failure—creating confusion, legal risk, and missed hiring opportunities. You'll learn what must be included, how to stay compliant, and why being transparent about your expectations (including physical demands and performance metrics) is key to attracting the right candidates. If you're serious about improving your hiring process and retaining top talent, this conversation is a must-listen. Takeaways: Job descriptions should reflect the specific needs of your practice. Outdated job descriptions create misalignment and confusion. Every job description serves as a legal agreement between employer and employee. Transparency in compensation, expectations, and requirements is essential. Include physical job requirements and measurable performance goals. Store and organize job descriptions properly for easy access and compliance.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:48  Hey, Be It babe. How are you? Oh, my God, the year is coming to an end. Are you enjoying the habit series? Have you started listening? This whole month we're just talking about habits, and it's really my goal, and you'll hear my win later on. This episode is to just help you understand that, like the life you want is like, literally, a series of habits that stack onto each other and allow you to have boundaries, but also the energy you need to do the things you care about. But before we get into that, we have to celebrate your wins. Something that inspired me on the internet and a little affirmation. So this is something I came up and it's really cool. So 1983 there was, you know, there's the Padres, if you follow sports at all, it's just the baseball, if you don't. In 1983 there was a 21-year-old who signed to the Padres. Amazing baseball player. Like, people were like, he's gonna have a 30 year career. I don't even know if it's possible, but maybe in 1983 it was, at any rate, he was just gonna have this amazing, amazing life, and as he was practicing and warming up, right, so after he just signed the contract, he had a, like a [cardiomyopathy] like some sort of heart attack type of a thing, something undiagnosed. No one knew he had it. He didn't know he had it. And even though he was rushed to the hospital, he ended up in a coma for six months, and when he came out of it, he was mentally and physically disabled. Never gonna play again. Whole life has changed. His family was super worried because, like, where are they gonna get the money for his medical bills he can't work now, you know all this stuff, so get this. First of all, no one knew that this is gonna happen, but this is what the Padres did. They just kept signing him for 30 years. They just kept signing him. He was, like, one of the longest signed baseball players, even though he's never played for the Padres because he had this heart attack, right? And the director of minor league relations, Priscilla Oppenheimer, she personally made sure that he was taken care of, and they kept him with health insurance. How freaking amazing is this? I mean, like, yes, look, it's a pro baseball team. Technically, they have all the money in the world to do this, but they didn't have to do this. And even in doing the first part, of just making sure he has money, keeping him signed. They got the health insurance. I mean, like, all these things that people just went out above, out of their way, above and beyond. And I think it's really important, because the reality is is, like, even though they are a professional baseball team, it's not like their professional teams don't have profit margins, right? They don't have things they have to think about. And this person didn't even make them any money, so they just did this. And I was just thinking, wow. Like, while that's not something I can do, it does maybe go, wow. There are some things that I can do, right? There are some ways we can just do things. And no one even knew that they were doing this. This is not like something like the Padres are, like, just out proclaiming every single year we signed Matt Lachappa again. They just did it, just for the just because it's the right thing to do. And so that just really inspired me, because in a world where there's a lot of shit going on and people are taking people's healthcare away and making them more expensive and just being all around assholes, there are people out there who are trying to do the right thing with where we're at. And so, you know, it just made me smile, and I think we needed that. And I hope, what I hope you do is check the link in the show notes and watch the video, because it's actually, like, just quite inspiring, and makes me want to know more about how that was made and, like, who this person was and what kind of career they could have. I just I love I love documentaries, I love stories. I love hearing these things, because it inspires me as a small business owner. Like, what could I do? How could I build things in I'm sure you know that, like, OPC donates to Nevada, SPCA because they're a no kill shelter. And I want to adopt all the dogs, and I cannot adopt all the dogs. I can't, not an option for me, but it lets me, you know, continue to donate and go, okay, at least that dog's application fee is taken care of, so someone else can have that amazing dog. But you know, what are the things that you can do? And then also just being kind that you're probably doing a lot already, and try not to overextend yourself. So celebrate what you are doing and acknowledge that. Yeah, can we agree to that? Okay, great. All right, so you can actually send that, send that in as a win, right? Like you can send in the things that you, that you have done, the donations you have made, as a win, because that allows you to celebrate the thing you're doing and inspire others as well. Lesley Logan 4:37  Okay, so, Laura Fielding from our eLevate program, and she's been to our retreat in Cambodia as well, I, on Tuesday morning, I woke up to a message from my lead instructor informing that me that she was reviewing my class that Tuesday morning. I was so cranky, dealing with a severe jet lag and a sinus infection, that the text almost had me in tears. Fast forward to the class. I had Lesley in my head and I applied all the knowledge she has given me, I got a perfect review, and the lead instructor actually asked if I would train her. She said it was the best CP class she has ever taken. She said she loved how the class flowed, and was surprised how much rotation, side bending, extension I was able to fit in. Most instructors hardly do this. She purchased three private sessions and said that she can't wait to work with me. Woohoo. Laura, Fielding, Fuck Yeah Friday. I mean, Oh my freaking goodness, you're just the coolest person. Do you just feel so good? I hope that rehearing that makes you like, go because, like, it makes me so excited to reread that. And I think no matter what you do, whether you're a teacher or like in Pilates, or you teach people, or you work in an office, or you have your own thing. Like, sometimes when there's, we can all think of a time when, like, somebody who is like, oh, this person's opinion of me matters, even if I don't want it to. And then you kind of have to psych yourself up, and you go through all the emotions of fear and worry and like, am I worthy? And then you freaking show up, and you just trust yourself, and you just do it and then, and then you get, like, something even better than you thought you would get. That is a thing. That's why it's like, we have to be really intentional about the work that we do and the work we put in, and how we talk to ourselves, and then we have to just allow it to show up for us so that we can, I mean, like, basically, of course, you probably knew you'd get a good review, right? But this got you hadn't, was it on your wild card that she'd buy privates with you, no. And that is because you showed up and you were your whole self, and you took all the work you've been doing and you laid it all out there, and you had and like, I'm just so freaking happy for you. So thank you for sharing that with us, Laura. Y'all can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions we want to hear them. I want to share them. I want to read them. I want to get excited with you that would just like mean the world to me.Lesley Logan 6:49  Okay, my win. So, the other day, I was doing a reflection call with my partner of the one of the partners of the Mullet Tour, and she was telling me, you know about how, since I've been at her studio, like, every single day, someone has mentioned something they learned from my workshops. And I was like, Yeah, I know, even though I'm not there to hear it, I was also getting, I've been getting so many people tagging me in setting up their habits and working on them, and, like, each day trying to, like, get that habit to be something that is attainable for them, that they can celebrate, and especially this month as it is, the habits month here at Be It Pod with our habit series going on, I, like, found myself just normally when I open my Instagram, there's like, so much crap on there, and I'm like, wish I didn't have to do this in my job, but my DMs have been filled with people showing up for themselves and tagging me in that. And my freaking win is that I want, received every single one of those. I was like, yeah, celebrated with them like I didn't go well they did like I didn't discount my effect of my workshop in that life. I was like, yeah, I'm so proud of the workshop I taught. It made so much sense. I helped them see what's possible with some tough but tender love. And I get to every single day, wake up to a DM of somebody working on a habit that's making their life better, their life better, and because they're doing that for themselves, the people that they love are going to have a more energetic, more energized human being around them, and they're going to have more time to do the things that that they're designed and destined to do on this life. And then there's a bigger impact there. And I freaking am so excited. So my win is I taught an epic workshop a couple months ago, and it keeps on giving to those who attended and to me, because I get to celebrate that, and I just love it. Yeah, wins can be like that. This can they can be something that you're just like, oh my God, I did do that. That's a win, right? I hope that this week's that these weekly episodes just help you see just how many different ways you can celebrate yourself and the things you're doing. Because I just think we're just think we're just so hard we, like, think about all the different things we didn't do. You guys, I never finished a to-do list. I'm always behind at work. You know, like I am. I work so hard to get ahead that even in trying to get ahead, I'm behind, but when I get caught up, I'm still on time. Like, I have to set those things up for myself, those parameters. But the reality is is like no one ever no not a single person you admire is finishing their tasks every single day. So it's not happening, you know, like, that's not how the world works. But I can tell you that the people you admire who are doing epic things that you wish you were doing have self-care routines that put them as a priority, and for that, you need habits. So check out the habit series, if you haven't already. Lesley Logan 9:41  All right, let's get you an affirmation and get you on your weekend. So my loves, here we are.

Send us a textThe scoreboard says growth equals big milestones—more clients, more revenue, more proof. We think that story leaves out where change really starts. In this conversation, we zoom into the tiny, easy‑to‑miss wins that quietly rebuild identity and fuel long‑term momentum. If you've been waiting for a breakthrough to believe you're progressing, we'll show you how to find proof in the work you already did this week.We start by reframing progress: small wins are not consolation prizes; they're inputs that compound. You'll hear practical prompts to spot them fast—like noticing the conversation that felt smoother than it did six months ago or the task you handled instead of avoided. From there, we break down why consistency beats chaos and how a simple ritual—celebrating micro wins at the start of every call—strengthens confidence faster than chasing external validation.Then we go deep on confidence. Not the hypey, mood‑based version, but the kind built from action before certainty. We share stories and insights from coaching rooms where people start messy on purpose, gather evidence from each rep, and watch self‑belief rise as a by‑product. We also call out a common trap: trying to prove yourself instead of practicing your craft. Proving keeps you stuck waiting for perfect results; practicing gets you better, sooner. As confidence grows, comparison tends to creep in, so we preview how to disarm it by anchoring to process, not timelines.If you're a coach, creator, or leader who wants durable confidence and sustainable progress, this episode gives you tools you can use today: micro‑win tracking, action‑first loops, and a practice‑over‑proving mindset. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to tell us the micro win you're celebrating right now.Interested in monthly coaching that helps you elevate how you think, act, and lead?

What if the words we use about “disease” are the very net that keeps us sick? We dig into how language molds perception, fuels fear, and quietly dictates choices, then swap myth for physiology: toxins burden terrain, cells adapt, and health returns when we support the body's design. From there, we move into practical, grounded steps—daily detox rhythms, mineral sufficiency, gut repair, and light-based therapies—that restore capacity rather than wage war on symptoms.We unpack pearl powder's long history and why minerals matter as the “batteries” of enzymes that power antioxidant systems. We break down pleural effusions without jargon—why fluid collects, when drainage helps, and how pleurodesis can reduce recurrence—while keeping the focus on rebuilding the terrain so the fluid stops coming back. Parasite concerns get a sober plan: appropriate dosing, liver labs, and cleansing so debris exits instead of spreading. Infrared and photobiology get their due as gentle mitochondrial modulators when integrated with real food, sleep, hydration, and stress hygiene.Gut dysbiosis is reframed as imbalance, not an enemy. Fasting windows, fiber-rich plants, colon hygiene, and consistent circadian cues help repopulate a healthy biome. Thyroid health takes center stage with iodine repletion and targeted support to stabilize immune tone. And when symptoms like unilateral foot numbness appear, we emphasize pattern-based assessment over labels so you can choose the right next step with confidence.This is a call to reclaim your story: clear language, simple habits, and smart tools aligned with biology. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a different lens on “disease,” and leave a review with the one term you want decoded next.Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

This episode is a special collab conversation with my friend and fellow business mentor, Amber Lilyestrom — business coach, speaker, host of the Homeward podcast, and author/poet behind little big beautiful things and Master Your Money Mind. We're talking about what it really means to build a right-sized, human-centric business in an industry that's constantly pushing “bigger, faster, more.”Amber and I dig into scrappy entrepreneurship, high-touch containers, and designing offers that honor both your clients' transformation and the actual life you want to be living. She shares candidly about her journey from traditional online business models into something more intimate, sustainable, and values-aligned, and we unpack what it looks like to scale what matters most instead of chasing every version of “more.”We also explore multidimensionality in your brand—letting all of who you are come through in your work—and how that impacts congruence, magnetism, money, and the way clients experience you.In this episode, we talk about:What a right-sized, human-centric business looks like in real life (beyond the buzzwords)Why high-touch, intimate containers can be more sustainable and satisfying than large, low-touch programsThe realities behind “scaling,” low-ticket launches, memberships, and volume-based models—and what most people don't see behind the scenesHow Amber thinks about scaling what matters most: her clients' outcomes, her creativity, her time, and her energyHow both of our backgrounds (Broadway and yoga studios for me, early scrappy entrepreneurship and big launches for Amber) shaped the way we think about business, money, and impactLetting yourself be the heart of the business instead of trying to disappear behind systems, funnels, or “passive” everythingMultidimensionality in a personal brand—bringing your creativity, quirks, and other passions into your work instead of keeping everything compartmentalizedWhy the work of helping clients make money and grow their businesses goes far beyond strategy and into identity, mindset, and who you're willing to be as the leader of your businessIf you've been craving real talk about business models, “scaling,” sustainability, and building something that actually feels like you, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a powerful reminder that you're allowed to build a right-sized business that scales what matters most to you.Connect with Amber on Instagram at @amberlilyestrom, listen to her podcast Homeward, and check out her poetry collection little big beautiful things and her program ELEVATE.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

The Stringer Documentary & the Napalm Girl Mystery – A Deep Dive into Photojournalism Controversy Published on 10 Frames Per Second Blog – Your go‑to source for photojournalism insight Table of Contents What Is The Stringer? Meet the Key Players – Gary Knight & Bao Nguyen Why the Napalm Girl Photo Matters Forensic Evidence: The Road‑Testing of the Iconic Shot Industry Reaction – Backlash, Bans, and the “Wagon‑Circling” Culture The Hidden History of Vietnamese & Local Freelance Photographers How to Watch The Stringer and Join the Conversation Takeaway: What This Means for Photojournalism Today 1. What Is The Stringer? The Stringer is a newly released documentary (Netflix, 2024) that investigates the authorship of the world‑famous “Napalm Girl” photograph taken in Vietnam, 1972. Core premise: The film follows journalist Gary Knight and director Bao Nguyen as they trace a decades‑old secret held by a Vietnamese stringer‑photographer, Nguyễn Thành Nghệ (Wintan Nei). Format: A blend of on‑the‑ground interviews, archival footage, and forensic road‑testing that reconstructs the exact location, timing, and line‑of‑sight of the iconic image. Why it matters: The image is one of the most published photographs in history and is universally credited to Associated Press staff photographer Nick Ut. The documentary questions that credit, shaking a cornerstone of photojournalistic mythology. 2. Meet the Key Players – Gary Knight & Bao Nguyen Person Role Why They're Important Gary Knight Founder of the VII Foundation, mentor, and documentary “connective tissue.” Provides insider knowledge of the photojournalism world, contacts, and credibility that anchors the investigation. Bao Nguyen Director of The Stringer Chose to frame the story as a journey, not just a series of talking‑heads, and insisted on a central narrator (Gary) to guide viewers. Carl Robinson Former AP Vietnamese‑language photo editor (local hire). His 2022 email sparked the whole investigation; his memories and documents are a primary source. Horst Fass Senior AP photographer in Vietnam (the “gatekeeper” of the image). His decision to run the picture on the wire is central to the credit controversy. Nguyễn Thành Nghệ (Wintan Nei) Vietnamese stringer who claimed to have taken the shot. The film's “secret” – his testimony and forensic evidence challenge the accepted narrative. Nick Ut AP staff photographer historically credited for the photo. The focal point of the debate; his name appears on every caption of the image. 3. Why the Napalm Girl Photo Matters Iconic status: Frequently cited in textbooks, museums, and peace‑activist campaigns. Cultural impact: Symbolizes the horrors of the Vietnam War and the power of visual storytelling. Professional legacy: The credit has shaped career trajectories, awards (Pulitzer, etc.), and AP's brand. If the credit shifts, we must reconsider how many other war‑zone images were attributed, potentially rewriting a large part of photojournalism history. 4. Forensic Evidence: The Road‑Testing of the Iconic Shot The documentary's most compelling section is the road‑forensics – a scientific recreation of the moment the photo was taken. Methodology: Researchers drove the exact route described by Wintan Nei, measuring distances, angles, and terrain features. Key Findings: Line‑of‑sight analysis shows the photographer would have been ~150 meters from the burning road—far beyond the reach of a 35 mm lens used by Ut. Shadow & lighting study matches the sun angle on July 29, 1972, which aligns with Wintan Nei's timeline, not Ut's. Camera metadata (Pentax vs. Nikon) – expert testimony confirms Ut's camera was not a Pentax, the model allegedly used by Wintan Nei. Independent verification: World Press Photo hired a former Bellingcat investigator, and INDEX a Paris-based research group. French photographer Tristan da Cunha corroborated the forensic report.  Cunha also worked with AD Coleman on his Robert Capa investigation (Ep. 35) These data points form the strongest case in the film that Nick Ut did not take the photograph. 5. Industry Reaction – Backlash, Bans, and the “Wagon‑Circling” Culture Immediate pushback: Numerous journalists launched letter‑writing campaigns to film festivals and employers, asking for the documentary to be removed. Attempted bans: Some media outlets threatened to fire staff who publicly supported the film. Defensive stance: Many veteran photographers argued that the film attacks “iconic” heroes and undermines the profession's reputation. Key quote from Gary Knight: “Journalists don't ban books or films they haven't read. Our job is to investigate, not to protect mythologies.” The controversy illustrates the “wagon‑circling” phenomenon—protecting revered figures at the expense of truth. 6. The Hidden History of Vietnamese & Local Freelance Photographers The documentary spotlights a systemic issue: local photographers' contributions have been consistently erased. No Vietnamese names appear in a May 1975 Time editorial thank‑you list, despite hundreds of local staff. Many local photographers sold film to AP, NBC, or CBS, but credits always went to Western staff. Examples of overlooked talent: Dang Van Phuoc – AP's most prolific photographer during the war (lost an eye in the field) *needs his own wikipedia entry. Catherine Leroy, Francoise Demulder, Kate Webb – Women who covered Vietnam but remain under‑recognized. Result: A distorted, Western‑centric narrative of war photography that marginalizes the very people who captured the ground truth. 7. How to Watch The Stringer and Join the Conversation Platform Availability Tips Netflix Global (over 100 countries) Use the search term “The Stringer”; enable subtitles for multilingual audiences. Film festivals Sundance 2024 (screened), Frontline Club (London) Look for Q&A sessions with Gary Knight or Bao Nguyen. Social media #TheStringer on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Follow the hashtag for updates, behind‑the‑scenes clips, and scholarly debate. What you can do: Read the forensic report (available on the Seven Foundation website). Share the story with your photography community to spark discussions on credit attribution. Support local photographers by following their work on platforms like Vietnam Photo Archive or Fotodoc Center. 8. Takeaway: What This Means for Photojournalism Today Transparency is essential. Photo agencies must disclose the full chain of custody for images, especially in conflict zones. Credit deserves rigorous verification. The Napalm Girl case shows that even decades later, new evidence can overturn long‑standing attributions. Elevate local voices. Recognizing Vietnamese, Cambodian, Bosnian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and other native photographers enriches the historical record and promotes equity. Forensic tools are now part of journalism. Road‑testing, GIS mapping, and metadata analysis are valuable assets for future investigations. Bottom line: The Stringer isn't just a documentary—it's a catalyst urging the photojournalism community to re‑examine its myths, honor the unsung creators, and adopt a more accountable, data‑driven approach to storytelling.

In this final Elevate episode of the year, Ankit Sharma reflects on a tough but important year of transition for New Zealand's construction sector. He explains the shift to proportionate liability, the push to clamp down on Phoenix companies, and how initiatives like FiNZscore aim to reward well-run building businesses with stronger credibility, better lending options, and improved consumer trust.Ankit also steps back to the bigger picture, unpacking the four global forces hitting construction – digitisation, decarbonisation, de-globalisation and demographics – and argues that technology is the single biggest opportunity for builders in 2026. He shares simple, practical examples of how members are already using tools like AI to save hours of admin, and draws on his Rethink 4.0 leadership newsletter to show why saying no, narrowing focus, and using a “not-to-do” list are now critical skills for owners who want more impact, more headspace, and a better life outside the business.Useful linksConnect with Ankit Sharma on LinkedInSay No to Say Yes: The Key to Turning Ambition into ProgressSubscribe to Rethink 4.0 NewsletterWhere else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVeg

Send us a textEver step into a room and feel like everyone else got the memo you missed? That jolt of discomfort might be the clearest sign you're exactly where you need to be. We unpack why the spaces that feel too big often fit your next level, and how to turn imposter syndrome into forward motion.We walk through the pivotal mindset shift: belonging doesn't show up before bravery; it follows it. From masterminds to coaching circles, we share how growth can feel like exposure, why that sensation reveals where you've been hiding, and how speaking the truth you're avoiding unlocks momentum. You'll hear practical ways to stay when you want to leave, including how to participate early, ask sharper questions, and borrow belief from people a few steps ahead. Their stories and steps become your map, shortening the learning curve and replacing comparison with calibration.Confidence, we argue, is earned through participation, not perfection. That means showing up consistently, contributing before you feel ready, and tracking the small wins you usually ignore. We highlight a simple system for capturing micro-milestones—clearer questions, honest shares, new connections—so your identity updates as your actions stack. When you anchor progress in these daily proofs, the room that once felt intimidating starts to feel like the right fit for the person you're becoming.If the space stretches you, don't bolt. Stay long enough to let courage compound, let community call you forward, and let your results speak louder than doubt. Listen now, subscribe for more conversations that push your edges, and leave a review to share the brave step you're taking next.Interested in monthly coaching that helps you elevate how you think, act, and lead?
