What do you want next? Maybe you have a big dream you've been thinking about for years. Maybe there's one area of your life you know you want to change. Or maybe you're in a season where you honestly have no idea what you want next. In this episode, I'm joined by two of my best friends, Laurie Shopland and Kristin Dabney, for a conversation about dreams, goals, trusting yourself, and what it actually takes to create something you want in your life. And we have a BIG announcement! We're hosting ELEVATE, a one-day retreat for women on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Kristin's beautiful lake home in Lynchburg, Virginia. There are only 20 spots, and registration is now open. Get all the details and register here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/elevate The three of us met during our coach certification and have been meeting together regularly since 2018. We've walked through business growth, personal challenges, big decisions, changing seasons, and a lot of dreams together. One of those early dreams was building a $100K business. At the time, it felt almost impossible. Today, all three of us have crossed that line, and we talk about what surprised us about reaching that goal, including why achieving the goal doesn't necessarily create the feeling you thought it would. We also talk about another dream we've had for years: hosting a retreat together. This year, we finally stopped talking about it and put a date on the calendar. But as our conversation unfolds, we realize that “dream” might not even be the right word for what we're talking about. Elevating your life doesn't have to mean climbing Mount Everest, building a six-figure business, giving a TEDx talk, or making some enormous life change. It might mean having a conversation you've been avoiding. It might mean changing careers, asking for a raise, focusing on your health, improving a relationship, starting a business, organizing your kitchen, or finally giving yourself space to figure out what you want. And sometimes the first step is simply trusting that the thing that keeps coming up in your heart is worth paying attention to. In this episode, we talk about: What we remember about dreaming of becoming $100K business owners Why reaching a goal doesn't automatically make you feel the way you expected What we've learned about pursuing goals without all the hustle Why some dreams stay with you even when the timing isn't right What finally moved our retreat from “someday” to an actual date on the calendar Why your dream doesn't have to be big to matter How to trust yourself when something keeps nudging you What to do when you don't know what you want The value of getting out of your normal environment and giving yourself space to think Why community and coaching can help you see possibilities you can't always see on your own Everything we're planning for ELEVATE! COME TO ELEVATE ELEVATE is a one-day experience designed to give you the space to step back, look at your life, and decide what you want to elevate next. You'll complete a life reflection, choose the ONE area that would make the biggest difference in your life right now, receive coaching and support, and leave with a framework and plan you can use again and again. You'll also have time to reflect, walk by the lake, journal, connect with other women, enjoy beautiful food and surroundings, and let someone else take care of YOU for the day. ELEVATE Saturday, October 17, 2026 9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET Lynchburg, Virginia $297 Only 20 women (now only 18; 2 spots sold immediately, and the others will go fast!) Registration closes October 5 or when all 20 spots are filled. Register at simplysquaredaway.com/elevate You don't need a big dream to come. You might come because you already know exactly what you want to elevate. You might come because something in your life feels unsettled and you need space to think. You might come because you're ready for connection, coaching, inspiration, or simply a beautiful day away. And you might come because you have absolutely no idea what you want next. You don't have to have a dream to come to ELEVATE. You might come to discover one.

I was really excited to talk with Kim Lundgren, Founder and CEO of Kim Lundgren Associates, or KLA, when I was pitched that she worked with cities and regions to help them put together a sustainability plan. Kim is a dynamic entrepreneur with a deep rooted passion for helping others see patterns and small shifts that can create big changes - her story is exciting! When Kim said they go by KLA, my 80s younger self took no time recalling the song The KLF - 3am Eternal, and Kim humored me in remeniscing for a moment (in case you don't know it or want to go back in time, I'm linking it here: https://youtu.be/qw-LgDdkxyM?si=RewiBvjctPafK5mz - I know it's from 1991...)I'm so impressed with all that KLA has accomplished as a smaller business, but because they're a small group, they're able to be flexible to hustle and spread out nationwide to help others. One great suggestion she gives us is to not try to do ALL the things; pick 1 big move, then work toward that. Sounds easy, right? It's a big goal, but the action is small...These below are straight quoted from Kim's website because I couldn't improve on it:"Since KLA was founded as a woman-owned benefit corporation in 2014, our team has partnered with more than 75 local governments to build their capacity to design and implement aggressive, equitable solutions to climate change. We do this by delivering affordable tools and services to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and communicate climate and sustainability goals and programs. Recently named to the 2025 list of America's fastest growing Private Companies, KLA works specifically with local governments because they can be true catalysts for change.KLA's Vision: To elevate action to match the urgency of the climate crisis. Our current priority is to drive achievement of the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change.Our Mission: To build capacity for local governments to implement aggressive, equitable solutions to climate change."You can find Kim Lundgren Associates here: https://www.kimlundgrenassociates.com/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/theklateamThey have a YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@kimlundgrenassociatesSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Research shows lawyers score below average in emotional intelligence compared to the general population. That gap is costing law firms talent, trust, and millions in preventable attrition. David Sarnoff is an ICF Certified Executive Coach, leadership trainer, and former attorney who founded Sarnoff Group LLC to do development work that actually sticks. He's also the co-author of Beyond the Courtroom: Proven Strategies from the Legal Field for Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Well-Being in the Modern Workplace. In this episode, David joins Scott Love to break down why emotional intelligence is so hard for lawyers to develop — and exactly how to build it. This is a legal-specific episode from the Sometimes Tuesdays series, and it's one of the most practically useful conversations the show has had on leadership, retention, and what actually keeps great attorneys and staff from walking out the door. You'll learn: Why lawyers as a population score below average in EQ — and what Martin Seligman's research on pessimism reveals about why The connection between low EQ and the legal profession's alarming rates of depression, substance abuse, and burnout Why 70% of what you communicate is nonverbal — and what partners are accidentally telling their teams without knowing it The "three words exercise" that reveals the gap between how you see yourself and how your team actually experiences you What the amygdala hijack is and why it makes otherwise rational lawyers act irrationally under stress The box breathing technique Navy SEALs use to stay calm in chaos — and how one practice group leader used it to stop a blow-up in real time What KKR discovered when they studied empathy in their portfolio company CEOs (it has nothing to do with being "nice") Why people don't leave law firms — they leave partners (and what the data says about attrition costs) How to use the EQI 2.0 assessment to get a baseline and track growth 3 specific action steps to start elevating your emotional intelligence today Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/HrfAyoqt9EQ ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://calendly.com/scott-736/half-hour-phone-meeting-with-scott Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ----------------------------------------
The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 166: Preparing the Rising Generation for Succession with Jeremy Lurey In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker is joined by Dr. Jeremy Lurey of Family Legacy First for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on one of the most underserved dimensions of family business succession — preparing the people, not just the plan. Recorded as part of the Family Business Executive Forum, this episode moves beyond the mechanics of who gets what and digs into the real work: the relational ecosystem, the communication structures, the identity questions, and the developmental gaps that determine whether a rising generation will thrive or fracture when the founding generation steps away. Chris and Jeremy explore why calling the next generation "now-gen" instead of "next-gen" changes everything; why the how of succession always matters more than the who; what the dashboard of a healthy succession ecosystem actually looks like; why governance without communication is just paperwork; and why the families that navigate multi-generational continuity best are the ones focused on individual flourishing, not just business continuity. They also share real client stories — both cautionary and inspiring — that illustrate what happens when families do this work and what happens when they don't.

Elevating your life by surrounding yourself with things that spark joy is as easy as removing the clutter that drains your energy.The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is the classic how-to manual for removing this clutter so your life has more ease. Its instructions are detailed and intentional - which doesn't make them easy but does make it a worthwhile pursuit.In this episode, I also discuss how tidying up your physical space relates to the ideas Annie Duke shares in her fabulous book Quit.

Hey Heal Squad! It's Friday and somehow, once again, we fooled them and made it through another week. This week, a little 1926 jazz turns into a conversation about why the world doesn't seem to change the way it used to, the art of thinking ahead, and whether we've forgotten how to make small talk interesting. We introduce a few new RGF Observations and discover that "air pudding" might be the perfect description for conversations that leave you completely drained. We talk about building for the future, condo life versus country life, energy vampires, the newly invented civilian alarm, lingering house guests, and why curiosity will always beat talking about tomorrow's weather. We talk about 1926 jazz records, Oldsmobile Toronados, paper towels hidden from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, airplane tickets booked a year in advance, and why maybe the best thing we can all bring to a conversation isn't another complaint...it's an interesting observation.

The Digital Foundation for High-Ticket Contractors: Driving Lead Velocity and Building Unshakeable Authority with Matt DeLongIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Matt DeLong, the CEO of United Foundry, to unpack the digital marketing mechanics required for home builders, high-end remodelers, and trade contractors to command premium market positioning. Matt, a seasoned agency architect and digital marketing pioneer specializing in the home services sector, details how construction and remodeling businesses can break free from unpredictable word-of-mouth cycles. This conversation delivers an intentional operational roadmap for contractors looking to leverage local AI data, build high-converting digital storefronts, dominate regional Google search rankings, and establish long-term pipeline velocity.The Architectural Advantage: Converting Digital Proof into High-Ticket Client PipelinesRelying solely on organic referrals and unpredictable word-of-mouth client acquisition routinely exposes high-ticket home service businesses to dangerous feast-or-famine revenue cycles. Matt DeLong explains that when a custom builder or luxury remodeling firm presents an outdated, amateurish online footprint, it instantly erodes prospective buyer trust and stalls conversion timelines. To capture high-net-worth homeowners, contractors must treat their digital properties as high-converting storefronts, complete with high-resolution project galleries, detailed case studies, and clear calls-to-action. Elevating basic operational touchpoints—such as replacing generic email domains with professional company email addresses—creates immediate psychological alignment between the contractor's online branding and the multi-million dollar physical projects they deliver.To build a sustainable client acquisition engine, home service companies must combine targeted pay-per-click advertising with hyper-local search engine optimization and automated social proof systems. Securing top-of-page visibility through Google Local Service Ads and localized PPC campaigns ensures a steady flow of high-intent search traffic, while active review management on platforms like Google and Houzz validates contractor credibility in real time. Search algorithms heavily favor local businesses with frequent, positive client feedback, making post-project review collection a non-negotiable component of local SEO. By featuring authentic video testimonials, recent project awards, and before-and-after galleries directly across digital ad landing pages, contractors eliminate buyer hesitation and dramatically shorten high-ticket sales cycles.Furthermore, integrating advanced AI tools with publicly accessible property data enables forward-thinking contractors to execute hyper-personalized, targeted community outreach. By utilizing artificial intelligence software to filter regional property records, trade leaders can map out specific target neighborhoods, isolate ideal homeowner demographics, and remove non-relevant corporate properties. This data-backed approach allows contractors to craft personalized messaging that transforms cold geographic outreach into warm, relationship-driven business opportunities. When custom builders synthesize professional digital design, automated review collection, hyper-local paid search, and targeted data mining into a unified marketing architecture, they eliminate pipeline friction, protect profit margins, and predictably scale enterprise value.About Matt DeLongMatt DeLong is the CEO of United Foundry, a prominent digital marketing strategist, speaker, and expert in contractor lead generation ecosystems.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan is joined by Rode Dog to answer real-world business coaching questions about partnerships, pricing strategies, conquering client fears, AI's future impact, and the core importance of relationships in business. From raising prices at legacy companies to selling identity upgrades to clients, Karl lays out actionable frameworks and mindset shifts for coaches who want to win high-paying clients, build trust, and create lasting success. Key Topics Covered Should You Bring in a Business Partner? Karl draws from personal experience, discussing successful and challenging partnerships. Essential questions: Why do you need a partner? Partnerships require complementary skills, clear rules, and a foundation of hard work 03:39. A $300k business may not need a partner—elbow grease could be the answer 05:41. Raising Prices and Navigating Client Fears Framework for raising prices in longstanding businesses: research market rates, increase new client pricing immediately, and give loyal clients a reason-framed, phased-in increase 07:15. Use stories, reason frames, and personalized communication when increasing pricing to loyal clientele 09:01. Highlighted a powerful pricing truth: you can increase prices 10% and lose up to 33% of clients and still earn the same, but with less to manage, resulting in less stress 12:45. Overcoming Prospect Fear in Sales The real reason a prospect doesn't buy is rarely price—it's fear: fear they're not enough, or fear of failure 14:02. Sell "money at a discount" by using clear ROI math and visuals; meet fear head-on with empathy and step-by-step guidance 14:23. 80% of your sales approach should keep you in an equal frame (not intimidating or unattainable), with a touch of humility and relatability 19:11. Identity Upgrades: The Secret to Selling The highest-level clients buy identity upgrades, not just utility or features 21:05. Use language, stories, and branding to help clients see themselves at a higher level (e.g., "the new rich," "the millionaire maker") 22:25. Embracing the AI Revolution—Why Human Connection Still Wins The "Paperclip Principle" warns of AI gone awry when given the wrong instructions 28:36. Relationships, not technology, remain at the core of long-term business success—even as AI changes the landscape 33:33. Karl predicts that live events and face-to-face client engagement will become more vital as AI becomes ubiquitous 34:18. Moment of Zen: Seeking Peace Over Happiness Seek peace, not just fleeting happiness. Peace comes from full ownership, acceptance of pain, uncertainty, and constant effort 41:24. True intelligence is not just "getting what you want," but wanting the right things (margin over mere revenue) 43:02. Notable Quotes "Partnerships can be great if done and managed correctly, but the hardest ship to steer is a partnership." — Karl Bryan 03:39 "If you increase your prices by 10%, you could lose 33% of your clients and still be at the same number—with significantly less to do." — Karl Bryan 12:55 "When a prospect doesn't buy… it's fear… fear they're not enough, frankly." — Karl Bryan 14:02 "Stop trying to be seen everywhere and start becoming the person people feel lucky to have encountered. That's internal, not external." — Karl Bryan 21:05 "Your network is your net worth—and that will never change." — Karl Bryan 33:33 "Make the goal not happiness… Peace is a better, higher-level frame." — Karl Bryan 44:52 Actionable Takeaways Ask "Why" Before Partnership: Before bringing in a partner, clarify what's missing—do they provide complementary skills, network, or capital? If not, reconsider the need for a partnership, especially in sub-seven-figure businesses. Raise Prices Confidently: Research what others charge, upgrade new client pricing first, and communicate price increases to existing clients with context and empathy. Use a phased approach for loyal clients, offering a grace period or value-adds to smooth transitions. Lean Into Client Fear: When a client hesitates, recognize fear is behind most objections. Build trust with ROI guarantees, step-by-step processes, and relatable stories—position coaching as a low-risk identity upgrade. Sell Identity, Not Just Results: Use branding, language, and your own story to help prospects see themselves evolving. Identity-based selling attracts ambitious, high-paying clients. Human Touch Wins in AI Era: Invest in client relationships, live events, and genuine connections—they'll be the differentiator as automation accelerates. Aim for Peace, Not Fleeting Happiness: Adopt a frame of "nothing to prove, nothing to hide." Take full ownership of outcomes, knowing pain and uncertainty are inevitable. Peace—not happiness—is the real goal. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software (by Karl Bryan) – For instantly modeling ROI and client value.

Most sales training assumes you need to be a loud, extroverted closer to win big deals. But if you try to swing like Tiger Woods when that's not how you were built, you will fail. To succeed in insurance, you have to figure out who you are and sell exactly the way you were made to sell.My guest, Billy Potter, CEO of Snelling Walters, joins me to discuss his two-decade career in the insurance industry and the undeniable power of leading with vulnerability. We discuss the unique advantages of being an introverted producer, the dangers of downplaying your own success, and how a late-in-life dyslexia diagnosis forced him to confront his deepest childhood insecurities. Billy also explains why elite consultants aren't afraid to step on toes to tell clients the truth, and why agencies must invest heavily in manufacturing their own leadership talent.

Jeannette sits down with Eddy Hackett, co-founder and executive producer of the Lost Estate, who shares his fascinating journey from training as a classical percussionist to scaling a thriving, multi-million-pound immersive theatre business. He dives deep into the realities of bootstrapping, the strategic value of looking for capital before you absolutely need it, and how an organisation can build a uniquely resonant brand by leading with its core, human centric identity. You'll Learn Why: A non-linear career shift can introduce creative squiggles that open unexpected and highly lucrative doors. Bootstrapping forces an organisation to adopt a lean, resource-aware mindset that naturally drives creativity. The optimal time to raise capital is when your business is at its strongest, rather than when cash is running low. Elevating your core brand promise is essential for building consumer trust in a highly volatile market. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

Shared Practices | Your Dental Roadmap to Practice Ownership | Custom Made for the New Dentist
In this episode of Coach's Corner, Caitlin Embree interviews Paul Lowry, co-founder of Dental Menu, to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in dental practice management: failing in-house membership plans. While dropping insurance is a common goal, data shows that unmanaged cash-pay patients only have a 12% retention rate over five years, compared to 64% for insured patients.To achieve sustainable dental practice growth, practice owners must treat their membership programs like true subscriptions (e.g., Netflix or Amazon Prime) rather than one-off "Groupon" discount bundles that cause renewal gaps. Poorly administered plans not only create massive administrative headaches but also artificially lower your practice valuation by forcing you to zero out production or write off massive adjustments.Here is your blueprint for upgrading your dental practice management through a properly structured membership plan:Stop the "Discount" Mindset: Shift from selling a bundled package of cleanings to an auto-renewing subscription model to prevent patients from lapsing for months at a time.Fix Your Accounting: Stop adjusting membership preventative care to $0, as it destroys your KPIs. Dental Menu uses a separate bank account to process monthly fees and generate internal EOBs so production flawlessly matches collections.Protect Provider Pay: Proper dental practice management requires accurate ledgers so associate dentists and hygienists receive their correct collection-based bonuses when treating membership patients.Incentivize Your Team: Drive dental practice profitability by offering your front office staff bonuses (e.g., $25 per sign-up) to consistently present the membership plan to cash-pay patients.Ready to take the next step in your dental practice journey?

The Siren's Birthday & Blessings (The Siren of San Francisco Chapter 6) Birthdays remind us to count the years we've lived. Blessings remind us to count the moments that changed us. Sometimes the greatest gifts don't arrive wrapped in ribbons—they arrive as people, second chances, or unexpected turns of fate. We rarely recognize them in the moment. Only with time do we realize they were blessings all along.

A standard check-in call, an ambulance, and a mother's quick instincts changed everything for Drew Norton's family in a matter of minutes. That terrifying crisis became the ultimate wake-up call, completely reshaping how he leads, loves, and shows up for the people who matter most. In this episode of Real Things Living, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with sales leader and founder of the Abundant Man Project, Drew Norton. Drew shares the harrowing story of his infant son's medical emergency and how his wife's split-second actions saved their son's life. He opens up with raw vulnerability about how that exact moment forced him to pivot, ultimately launching his mission to help men become better husbands, fathers, and leaders through intentional self-development. Key Takeaways:(1) Fix Yourself First: Real, lasting change in a marriage or team starts by looking in the mirror, not by trying to fix your spouse or the people around you. (2) The Growth Cycle: Belonging, believing, and becoming are deeply connected. The community you choose to surround yourself with directly dictates what you believe is possible for your life. (3) Ambition is Service: Wanting more for yourself isn't selfish. Elevating your own health, mindset, and career directly expands your capacity to serve and support others. Shift Your Perspective. Connect with Drew on Intagram - https://www.instagram.com/theeverydaysalesleader/Visit https://AbundantManProject.com to learn about coaching, retreats, and membership for men ready to grow in faith, family, fitness, and finances.

This solo episode of Do Good to Lead Well focuses on one of the most common challenges in both leadership and everyday life: continually repeating the same difficult conversation without real resolution. Drawing on the important work of Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability, I explore the transformative CPR model (Content, Pattern, Relationship) as a deceptively simple framework for breaking frustrating cycles.I talk about how most people stay stuck addressing immediate content rather than recognizing damaging patterns or the deeper relationship impacts underneath. I also share concrete scripts using common scenarios to bring to life how shifting the “elevation” of a conversation can untangle recurring problems and restore trust.Leaders, teammates, and anyone facing persistent roadblocks in communication will walk away with actionable tools to finally resolve stubborn issues. Share your thoughts on how you have dealt with these situations and better yet, share the episode with someone who you feel would benefit from hearing it.What You'll Learn- What is C.P.R. in difficult conversations?- The importance of addressing issues early.- The trap of relitigating the same content without recognizing a pattern.- The risk of escalating prematurely to relationship-level concerns after a single incident.- The problem of “piling on,” or tackling content, pattern, and relationship all at once.
