This week I want to discuss the importance of recognizing and defining personal lines of acceptability, and how these lines influence our lives and leadership. I'm also covering the gradual erosion of standards, and the necessity of raising the floor of our expectations rather than just aiming for higher ceilings.I want you to walk away from this episode reflecting on your own standards and drawing new lines that align with your true potential.--Links & resources:Purchase my new book, Level Up Your LeadershipTo follow more info about the podcast@levelup.debbienealCheck out my personal instagram account@debbie_neal

If you've been telling yourself you'll pitch the conference, keynote, or TEDx talk once you feel more confident, I want you to reconsider the order. Public speaking isn't something you do after you become confident. It's one of the ways confidence is created.I'm sharing three practical ways to build real speaking confidence: say yes and get the reps, experiment with different formats and time constraints, and use podcasting to strengthen your ability to speak naturally. I tell the story of walking into a TV studio for the first time with my heart pounding - and how becoming a regular political analyst years later finally gave me the repetition I needed to trust myself.And then there's the thing that surprised me most: taking an eight-week improv class. Even after decades of speaking, improv helped me get out of my head, into my body, and more comfortable not knowing exactly what would happen next.In this episode, you'll learn:Why confidence is created through speaking rather than perfected in privateWhat it means to embody your message instead of delivering it only from your headWhy repetition builds the muscle memory that makes speaking feel more naturalWhat my first TV political panel taught me about saying yes before I felt readyWhy relying on a script can interrupt your connection with the audienceHow PechaKucha, Ignite, DisruptHR, workshops, and keynotes develop different speaking skillsWhy hosting a podcast or becoming a regular podcast guest strengthens impromptu speakingWhat an eight-week improv class taught me about uncertainty and presenceHow speaking confidence can help you claim the identity of “speaker”Why women's public voices matter to gender equalityAbout Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox. At Speaking Your Brand, we help women entrepreneurs and professionals clarify their brand message and story, create their signature talks, and develop their thought leadership platforms.

AI is rapidly changing what it means to be human, but is AI development truly human-centered? According to Aza Raskin, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, the answer is largely “no.” The man who invented the “infinite scroll” is now working to understand why the most powerful technology so often fails to prioritize the human experience and our collective well-being. Raskin is also leading the Earth Species Project — using AI to better understand the animals that live alongside us, by unlocking patterns in vast amounts of data on animal communication. He joins Pioneers of AI to talk about both of these dynamic endeavors, with the flourishing of humans and Earth at the core.

Inside the D&D side hustle that's really a masterclass in building AI systems that pay you back. Make money online by selling AI-generated D&D campaigns: Learn how tabletop creators use a two-pass AI content creation workflow to build balanced, ready-to-run 5e campaigns and monetize them on Patreon—a proven digital product side gig that takes hours, not months. This episode breaks down the prompt structure, explains why DMs buy convenience content, and shows the specific market opportunity overlooked by most AI entrepreneurs. https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com This episode explains how tabletop RPG creators are using a two-pass AI workflow to generate balanced, ready-to-run D&D 5e campaigns quickly and monetize them through Patreon, arguing this is an overlooked micro-business. It outlines why DMs buy convenience content, cites a growing market for pre-built campaigns, and shows a detailed prompt structure that uses official encounter-balancing formulas plus a second refinement pass in another model to improve balance, pacing, and coherence. It emphasizes that success depends less on content creation and more on repeatable systems, subscriber acquisition and retention, and audience-building via TikTok/YouTube Shorts, including using subscriber requests to drive loyalty. It also describes higher-paying customers (streaming DMs), backend monetization through licensing to publishers and marketplaces, risks from shifting AI behavior requiring documented prompts and quality gates, and a potential future SaaS tool that could disrupt Patreon sellers. 00:00 AI DnD Side Hustle 01:18 DM Pain And Demand 02:18 Encounters Are Algorithms 03:06 Base Prompt Blueprint 04:08 Specificity And Constraints 04:48 Two Pass Quality System 06:08 Patreon Content Calendar 07:25 Retention And Requests 08:36 Premium Streaming Clients 09:51 Marketing Reality Check 11:03 Patreon As Funnel 12:17 Scaling And Version Control 13:13 SaaS Disruption Angle 14:06 Build Moats With Systems 15:00 System Over Content 15:50 Whiskered Wisdom 16:42 Action Step 17:23 Wrap Up AI side hustle, Make money with AI, Patreon subscriptions, licensing, SaaS, ChatGPT business ideas, prompt framework, generating D&D campaigns, AI content creation, campaigns, NPC stat blocks, encounter modules, D&D campaign generator, tabletop RPG, make money online, TTRPG, Dungeons & Dragons, D&D, Roll20, D&D Beyond, Wizards of the Coast, Patreon, ai automation business, online side hustles, business motivation, work from home, business mindset, entrepreneur motivation, entrepreneurship, ai content creation, side hustle ideas, entrepreneur mindset, business tips, how to make money online, make money from home, ai automation agency, AI, AI Tools, ai entrepreneur, make money online, side hustle ideas, make money from home, online side hustles, AI start up ideas, entrepreneur, ai business https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Stephen Somers is the founder of Marketplace Superheroes, an online education company that has helped more than 10,000 people build side incomes by selling on Amazon and Whatnot. After starting his career as a data processor in Dublin, Ireland, Stephen built a multi-seven-figure Amazon business alongside his sister and CEO, Lisa Summers. Today, he has sold more than $40 million worth of products, coaching, software, and services and has recently helped his team generate nearly $500,000 in trading card sales on Whatnot. In this episode, Stephen shares how he escaped the traditional 9-to-5 path, built a successful online business, and found new opportunities in live-commerce marketplaces. On this episode we talk about: Why Stephen chose entrepreneurship after realizing the traditional career path wasn't for him How he got his start selling physical products on eBay and Amazon with almost no startup capital Why you don't need to invent a groundbreaking idea to build a successful business How entrepreneurs can find opportunities by getting better at one specific part of an established business model How Whatnot's live-shopping and auction model works and how Stephen's team is making money selling Pokémon trading cards Top 3 Takeaways You don't need a revolutionary idea to make money. Some of the best businesses are built around simple, established products or services with one part of the process executed exceptionally well. Marketplaces can eliminate some of the hardest parts of starting a business. Selling through platforms like Amazon and Whatnot gives entrepreneurs access to customers who are already looking to buy, allowing them to focus on sourcing products and selling effectively. Entrepreneurship is ultimately about buying yourself more choice. Stephen views financial success less as accumulating money and more as creating the freedom to decide how he spends his time, works, and lives. Notable Quotes "The best businesses are actually like just really obvious crap that you just do it a bit better." "We're trying to buy choice as well. And we're trying to trade so we can get choices." "You don't have to go out and reinvent the wheel. You just have to, you know, put a different spoke on it."

Learn more (link below) https://www.dalia.co/audit?utm_source=pos About: I'm joined by two leaders who have built careers around one simple idea: great businesses are built by great people. First is Josh Robinson, a transformational executive with more than 20 years of experience leading finance, technology, and business strategy across organizations ranging from $50 million to $7 billion in revenue. Josh is known for building high-performing teams, creating cultures that attract top talent, and helping companies think big, start small, and scale fast. Joining him is Mike Nathan, a Navy veteran, entrepreneur, investor, and startup builder who's helped launch, advise, and invest in more than a dozen companies across industries. From Search & Rescue Swimmer to founder, board member, and operator, Mike believes that business is one of the most powerful vehicles for creating meaningful impact for people and communities. Together, Josh and Mike bring an incredible combination of operational excellence, entrepreneurial grit, and people-first leadership. I'm excited to dive into their journeys, what they've learned building companies and cultures, and where they see the future of work and leadership heading next. Key Takeaways: Not every high performer should become a manager. Companies need meaningful advancement paths for strong individual contributors instead of forcing them into leadership roles they may not want or be equipped for. Leadership is less about having every answer and more about building the right team. Great leaders trust subject-matter experts, ask better questions, and create the conditions for others to execute. Authenticity builds more trust than pretending to know everything. Employees respond better to leaders who admit what they do not know and work alongside the team to find the answer. Conviction can matter as much as competency. Skills may get someone through the interview process, but genuine belief in the company's mission determines whether they will remain committed when things get difficult. A founder's ability to delegate is a critical indicator of scalability. Founders who constantly say “I,” control every decision, and cannot step away will eventually become the bottleneck in their own business. Raising capital should serve a specific goal, not someone's ego. Companies should pursue funding when it accelerates product development, sales, expansion, or a planned exit, not because announcing a major round has become a status symbol. AI is creating the rise of the “Army of One.” Individuals and small teams can now use AI, outsourcing, and personal branding to produce the output and profitability once associated with much larger organizations. Take the “Army of One” seriously, but not literally. AI can dramatically increase individual productivity, but growing companies will still need talented people when complexity, scale, and human connection demand them. Replacing employees with AI is often the wrong strategy. The greater opportunity is to give employees AI tools, remove repetitive work, and redeploy people into more valuable roles that improve service and generate revenue. The professionals who thrive will combine expertise with AI fluency. Human judgment, technical knowledge, and relationship skills will remain valuable, but people who fail to learn how to apply AI within their field risk being left behind.     Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Leadership and Impact 01:43 Personal Leadership Journeys 05:19 The Role of Individual Contributors vs. Leaders 08:12 Evolving Beliefs About Leadership 09:48 Hiring Talent vs. Building Executable Teams 12:44 Evaluating Founders and Their Potential 14:43 Post-Mortem Analysis of Failed Startups 15:52 The Right Time to Raise Capital 17:52 The Army of One Myth and AI's Role 26:51 AI's Impact on Jobs and Company Culture 32:28 The Importance of Human Expertise in a Tech-Driven World 33:16 Hiring for Heart: The Key to Successful Interviews 35:21 Assessing Compatibility: The Role of Personality in Hiring 37:49 Radical Transparency in Leadership and Its Challenges 41:33 Risky Decisions: Career Moments That Changed Everything 45:06 Debunking Business Clichés: What Needs to Die 47:40 AI: Signal or Hype?

What happens when you take a man, remove all of his comfort, cut him off from his family, push his body to the absolute limit, and tell him there's $1,000,000 waiting at the finish line?Drew Haas found out.After winning Season 2 of Netflix's Outlast, Drew sits down to talk about what the show was really like behind the cameras — the hunger, lack of sleep, homesickness, physical punishment, and the mental battle that came with being pushed to his breaking point.He also talks about how he prepared for the experience with thousands of bow shots, miles of barefoot training, and serious mental preparation — and why none of it could fully prepare him for what it would feel like to be completely disconnected from his family and forced to suffer for weeks.But this conversation goes way beyond Outlast.We talk about what hardship does to a man, what he learned about himself, the people he surrounded himself with, business, family, and what happens when you're forced to find out what you're actually made of.$1,000,000 was the prize.The real question is what it cost him to win it.Follow Drew @haasoutdoorsWebsite https://trybullbee.com/Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

Business owners are being told constantly that they need to figure out how to use AI. Deb Weidenhamer thinks that may be the wrong place to start. Instead, she says, owners should look for the places where their businesses are already struggling: Where are you wasting time? Where are you losing money? Where are customers getting frustrated? Then ask whether AI can help.In this week's Dashboard, Deb, author of AI for Real Companies: A Practical Guide to Smarter Systems and Stronger Profits, walks us through several examples of businesses that have done exactly that. A pizza shop uses AI to answer calls it had been missing during busy periods. A machine shop uses it to take on jobs that previously weren't worth the time it took to quote them. And a real-estate team uses it to respond to leads that arrive while everyone is asleep.We also talk about the harder questions: whether AI really will eliminate jobs, why automating a bad process can make things worse, and why Deb believes the owner—not the IT person or some newly appointed “AI expert”—needs to take responsibility for deciding what gets automated and why. The encouraging part is that none of this necessarily requires becoming an AI expert. It requires understanding your business well enough to know what needs fixing. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

The economy is strong, prices are still too high, and the job market is sending mixed signals. The Federal Reserve is navigating all of it while fending off the most overt political pressure in its modern history. Austan Goolsbee, President of the Chicago Fed, joins Rapid Response ahead of the Central Bank's highly-watched meeting in Jackson Hole, to give his most candid read on what's actually going on. He explains why tariffs, war in the Middle East, and six years above the 2% inflation target make this the most dangerous inflation environment he's seen, what Kevin Warsh's new leadership means for how the Fed operates, and why he's a "grim optimist" on AI even as the hype keeps outrunning the results. Plus, what business leaders should actually be watching to get ahead of the Fed's next move.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Finding your calling was never only about the work. The work has been building you all along. And the woman you're becoming is the most valuable thing you'll ever build.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your work acts like a mirror, surfacing the fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing you thought you'd handled years agoHow building confidence happens underneath the visible skill, one hard conversation at a timeWhy the right questions move you faster than more information ever will (and why you can't see your own story clearly alone)The cast iron skillet principle: how the hot, hard seasons are the ones God uses for His deepest work in youThe one question to pray into next: "Who does my work need me to become?"Why what you're building needs a stronger woman to run it more than it needs a better planAlli's current favorite supplement for falling asleep faster and waking up with less morning fogTimestamps:3:02 – The work you're building is building you4:20 – Your work is a mirror (and what it reveals is a gift)5:22 – Entrepreneurship as a personal development plan in disguise5:45 – What you're really building underneath: courage6:25 – Why better questions beat more information8:30 – The cast iron skillet: how you get seasoned9:08 – The growth that never lands on a scoreboard10:22 – The question to pray into: who does my work need me to become next?11:14 – Why your work needs a stronger woman, not a better plan12:15 – What "work that matters" actually means14:53 – Catalyst Mastermind: building alongside other womenLinks to great things we discussed: Standing StrongGlycine Oura ringCatalyst MastermindFunction Health - Use code AWORTHINGTON10 for a discount on comprehensive lab testingWise Woman Method on SubstackTake the Secret Superpower QuizJoin the Uplift CommunityFollow Alli on InstagramDon't forget to watch Alli Worthington on YouTube!

More is not always better. We often find that what we are chasing in our pursuit of success is not what we thought it was.

She is the perfect person to share insights into today's topic. In this episode, Jeanetta shares a personal story about what she learned about money during her childhood, along with how we navigate our aspirations and what we go after to achieve success. We wrap up with a discussion of knowing what is “enough” and being cautious about who we follow after as mentors and examples.

The economy is strong, prices are still too high, and the job market is sending mixed signals. The Federal Reserve is navigating all of it while fending off the most overt political pressure in its modern history. Austan Goolsbee, President of the Chicago Fed, joins Rapid Response ahead of the Central Bank's highly-watched meeting in Jackson Hole, to give his most candid read on what's actually going on. He explains why tariffs, war in the Middle East, and six years above the 2% inflation target make this the most dangerous inflation environment he's seen, what Kevin Warsh's new leadership means for how the Fed operates, and why he's a "grim optimist" on AI even as the hype keeps outrunning the results. Plus, what business leaders should actually be watching to get ahead of the Fed's next move.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For working moms, the line between work and home can feel almost invisible. Parenting tasks enter the workday, professional responsibilities follow us home, and the mental tabs rarely close.Tiffany Sauder reflects on research about working parents and the personal choices behind the statistics. She explains why the challenge may be bigger than time management. When women stop dreaming, expect perfection from every pursuit, or make being needed part of their identity, the result can feel like a problem of the soul.She also examines the hidden cost of carrying the mental load, filtering every interaction through a role, and moving too quickly to experience life fully. Creating white space can feel uncomfortable, but it gives us room to grow alongside our families instead of losing ourselves within the responsibilities we carry.The conversation closes with a reminder Tiffany received as a young working mother: Do not let your career make your most personal decisions for you. Slow down, imagine the life you want 20 years from now, and allow that future to inform the choices you make today.What You'll LearnWhy working moms may stop dreamingHow achievement can work against usWhy the mental load becomes an identityWhat white space makes possibleTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:29) The lunch that changed how she thinks about family size(02:14) Pew's big finding: work and home have no boundary anymore(05:10) Two-career homes outnumber one-income homes(06:58) The real problem isn't time anymore(09:45) Why achievers can't settle for just a little(11:23) Why we hoard the mental load as our identity(15:33) How being seen only as "mom" limits your relationships(17:22) Training your brain for better decisions(21:24) The data on why fear fades as kids get older(23:47) Don't let your career decide For more from Tiffany:Follow Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.sauderLearn more: https://www.tiffanysauder.com  Ready to build your own Life of And?

Send us Fan MailYou can have the career, the independence, the confidence, the whole “I've got this” thing going for you… and still find yourself wondering what the hell you're doing in dating, work, or life.That's part of what I loved about this conversation with Bri McNees.Bri takes us behind the scenes of how a completely organic casting connection took her from corporate retail in Columbus, Ohio, to Love Is Blind — and why she's built a life around being willing to say yes when the right door opens, even when it scares the shit out of her a little.And yes, we get into the stuff you actually want to know.Dating with the intention of finding a husband. What the Columbus dating scene is really like when you know what you want. Watching yourself back on reality television and realizing that, edit or not… yep, that's still you. Bri also opens up about what really happened with Connor, why vague breakup explanations can send the internet into a full-blown spiral, and what their first major conflict taught her about whether a relationship can actually hold up when things get hard.But this conversation goes way beyond Love Is Blind.We talk about faith, anxiety, identity, becoming more comfortable with who you are, and that slightly terrifying adult realization that none of us — including our parents — actually have this whole life thing figured out.Then we get into Bri's next chapter: leaving corporate America, content creation, and entrepreneurship. We talk TikTok, Instagram shopping, being selective about whose advice you take, Gary Vee, staying authentic while building a platform, and what it actually looks like to bet on yourself.And because apparently the episode needed one more character, we call Bri's dad, G-Man, live on the show — and he casually drops some of the best advice of the entire conversation about rejection, naysayers, and the difference between talking about the dream and actually going after it.If you're in a season of reinvention, starting over, dating differently, building something new, or standing in front of a door you're a little scared to walk through, this one's for you.Subscribe, send it to someone who needs a little push, and tell me: what's the risk you know you're ready to take next?

What happens when your first employee quits on opening day?Shane Taylor has spent more than 20 years building businesses, investing in real estate, and learning some expensive lessons along the way. After completing nearly 100 real estate transactions with longtime partner Lance White, Shane stepped away from his corporate career and purchased a martial arts franchise—one day after the country shut down.In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Shane joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner to talk about leaving the W-2 world, building a business that can operate without him, and getting back into real estate with his wife and two sons.Shane shares what went right and wrong during his years of flipping houses, why failing to pull permits in the proper order brought one project to a complete stop, and how a $400,000 flip turned into a six-month headache. He also breaks down his “Bandit Sign on Wheels” marketing strategy, the advantages of investing with a real estate license, and why he may not choose the franchise route again.The conversation also covers family partnerships, hiring people who take ownership, calculating holding costs, choosing the right price point for a flip, and why Shane now prefers short-term joint ventures over permanent business partnerships.If you enjoyed Shane's story, share this episode with someone who could learn from it and leave The Kash and Dash Show a five-star review.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at https://linktr.ee/tedkaasch Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owenmoneyrealestate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/owenmoneyrealestate/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - ...

What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Travis Hollman, owner and CEO of Hollman, the largest manufacturer of lockers in the United States and the world. Travis shares the story of a family business his father started in 1976, one he bought in 2016, and how it grew into the company behind the locker rooms you see everywhere from Notre Dame, USC, and the Houston Rockets to Equinox, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America branches across the country.Travis talks about his winding path into ownership, including getting let go by his own father, launching seven or eight companies of his own along the way, and returning to rescue the business as it slid toward bankruptcy. He reflects on the value of finding work that naturally fits how you think, using tools like Culture Index and Myers Briggs to understand yourself and build the right team, and why starting a company from the ground up is one of the hardest things an entrepreneur can do.The conversation moves through innovation, culture, and the discipline of keeping a fifty year old company feeling like a startup. Travis explains how his MeSpace concept for neurodiverse offices reshaped the way his team designs sleepable, function first locker rooms, how his new AI division is transforming billing, renderings, and shop drawings, and why he believes honesty is the only real policy when a customer relationship goes south. He also opens up about Texas as the ideal place to build and manufacture, sharing a memorable story of staying open through COVID with the help of a responsive local government.Chris and Travis also explore leadership and authenticity, from Travis embracing his direct, bullet point style to surrounding himself with good cop VPs who balance him out. He closes with a moving look at the educational foundation he and his wife created, funding college for the children of his Hispanic plant workers so families can build lasting security across generations.If you are interested in manufacturing, family business, innovation, leadership, and building a company that stays true to its values while embracing new technology, this episode offers an honest and energizing look at what it takes to lead with authenticity and purpose.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout Hollman, Inc.

This week, we pull the mask off.In this raw, unscripted conversation, Weston opens up about what most founders never say out loud. The addiction to solving problems, the year they almost couldn't make payroll, a customer who paid for dinner because Weston didn't have the cash, and the moment his own family's future was on the line. He talks candidly about:Why he cut his travel from 100+ nights a year on the road down to 38, and what it cost the business to do itThe early days of Synked Up, when a trade show sign up saved the company from running out of cashWorking through hard seasons with his dad, and how that relationship became one of the strongest in his lifeWhy mentorship isn't optional.

With the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and fuel prices still elevated, few auto executives are feeling the pressure more acutely than Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley. He joins Rapid Response to give a candid account of what the turmoil means for the auto industry, and for an iconic American brand navigating one of the most turbulent moments in its history. Farley gets frank about the China threat reshaping the global auto business, and his frustration with Ford's own ingenuity. Plus, why Ford is back in Formula One, and why Farley sees a storm gathering in the so-called "essential economy". This episode originally aired on Rapid Response in April 2026.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“You can't get through it if it's not real.”Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this alumni speaker connection episode, Dan sits down with Robin Blair — an ordained minister, award-winning speaker, singer, and media producer who spent decades inside network television and radio before walking away from it all to pursue ministry and professional speaking.Robin's career arc reads like a Hollywood pitch: TV shopping host on network television, then a key player in the first children's radio network to go national, then co-founder of a children's television production company. She and her team created a live-action, puppet, and music children's show, made four pilots, and sold the show to Animal Planet. But at the New York City Toy Fair in the 1990s, she watched an executive preview a show being imported from the UK and announce to the room that one-year-olds were now advertising targets. That moment gutted her. Shortly after, discouraged with the direction of the industry, she answered a call to ministry and headed to seminary — all the way through to a doctorate.After a couple of decades preaching from the pulpit, Robin has stepped back from congregational ministry to build a professional speaking business. Her body of work, Digital Discipleship Matters, takes a faith orientation to the digital culture we all live in — helping families discern media rather than making an enemy of it. And she's working through a mindset shift that will sound familiar to a lot of speakers: moving from speaking for little or nothing to truly valuing the expertise she brings.You'll learn:How Robin's decades inside network TV, radio, and children's media became her strongest speaking credentialWhy your past career detours are qualifications, not wasted timeWhat “digital discipleship” means and how Robin carved out a speaking niche from itThe mindset shift from speaking for free (or nearly free) to getting paid what your message is worthWhy Robin created a family discernment tool as the key to unlocking hesitant audiencesDan's advice on finding the smaller group who desperately need your message instead of trying to reach everyoneWhy slow, relational trust-building beats aggressive outreach — especially when you're just startingHow to handle silence after a pitch (hint: it's normal, even when it stings)Robin's approach to treating the internet as a mission field for her messageThe difference between having something important to say and assuming everyone wants to hear itAnd much, much more!“What I'm bringing has value to people for their lives and for generations of their lives. And it's perfectly okay to receive compensation for that.”Are you sitting on years of hard-won expertise — but still struggling to turn it into a speaking business that actually pays?

If you're an introvert, Projector in Human Design, or subscribe to the "if they wanted to, they would" line of thinking, this episode is for you.Agata Serocka comes on the show today as a spokesperson for Projectors, who think reaching out, pitching, and asking for what they want isn't part of their strategy. We get into how to build a signal, BECOME the invitation, and not miss out on life's biggest opportunities by sitting in the passenger seat. We talk about:Reframing "waiting for the invitation" and how to move beyond the LITERAL interpretation to actively create conditions (podcasting, writing, showing up) that invite opportunities.Making outreach and pitching feel warm and not annoying AF. Building genuine rapport, finding connections, and doing research before reaching out vs. cold-pitching someone "hey girl haven't talked since we were 16 but would love for you to join my course! Link in bio!"Reframing labels (Projector, HSP, ADHD, rejection-sensitive) as data points to design a personalized, sustainable approach to visibility and business.Discernment over volume. How to say no to opportunities that don't fit, and trusting what's meant to work out, will! Making pitching fun and creative again. Gamify audacity by using playful approaches  like quests, small asks, and outlandish ideas to build confidence and make outreach sustainable vs. another "ugh, I have to do that?" choreConnect with Agata:The Culture of Unrushing Podcast on Spotify and AppleSubstackWaitlist to Agata's mastermindExperience Audit FreebieConnect with Chelsea:Join the SHOOT YOUR SHOT CHALLENGE Aug 25-27th!Enroll in Audacity for $900 off til Aug 27th!Get on the Ultimate Pitch Kit waitlist

For more than a decade, the federal government's biggest tool for accelerating clean energy hasn't been a grant or a loan. It's been the tax code. Tax credits have driven the buildout of wind, solar, and now a much wider range of technologies, like storage, nuclear, and advanced manufacturing. But there's a catch: most of the companies earning those credits don't have enough tax liability to actually use them themselves. A clean energy developer can be sitting on tens of millions of dollars in value that's slowly losing worth simply because they can't cash it in. In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act tried to fix that by making these credits transferable for the first time ever — sellable directly, for cash, to a company that can use them. It created a brand-new, multi-billion-dollar market overnight, with no playbook and no established way for buyers and sellers to even find each other. Our guest today set out to build the infrastructure this new market needed. Alfred Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Crux, an AI-native capital platform for clean energy and manufacturing infrastructure. Crux got its start in transferable tax credits, and has since expanded into tax equity investment and debt origination, leveraging software, data, and AI to cover the full capital stack for energy and manufacturing infrastructure. Alfred grew up around politics in Washington, DC, and spent nearly two decades moving between government, finance, and technology before his wife, Emily, pushed him to build something in clean energy. In our conversation, Alfred walks me through his journey, and what it takes to build the capital markets infrastructure this country needs to power its clean energy future. Today, Crux has raised more than $77 million, grown to more than 120 employees, and facilitated nearly $10 billion in transactions across the clean energy economy.
