On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the recent protest of Jonathan Haidt's commencement address at New York University. Robert and Mick discuss the students' objections, how they missed the actual purpose of Haidt's speech, and why it is flawed to evaluate a message based on our opinion of the messenger, rather than the merits of what they are saying.

Send us Fan MailBefore you can improve your leadership, you need an honest picture of where you are today.In this episode, Dr. Mel Vandevort guides school leaders through a practical self-assessment designed to uncover strengths, identify growth opportunities, and reveal the areas that may be creating unnecessary frustration or overwhelm.Through a series of reflective questions, you'll evaluate your leadership across three critical areas: leading people, managing the work, and supporting learning. You may discover that the challenge you're experiencing isn't where you thought it was.Grab a notebook and prepare to think deeply about your current leadership reality. The awareness you gain today could be the catalyst for meaningful growth tomorrow.In this episode, you'll:• Reflect on your current leadership effectiveness• Identify potential "warning lights" in your leadership practice• Evaluate key areas that impact your daily success• Determine where focused growth could create the greatest impactThis is the second and final free episode in The Principal Operating System™ series. Future episodes and implementation resources will be available exclusively inside the Empowered Educator Community.

Most supervisors are comfortable giving feedback. Far fewer have a system for evaluating supervisees.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ashley Stephens Durbin to unpack the difference between feedback and formal evaluation, and why that distinction matters more than most supervisors realize.We discuss what happens when concerns are discussed but never documented, why evaluation protects both supervisors and supervisees, and how to build an evaluation process that supports growth without turning supervision into a performance review.We also explore one of the biggest misconceptions in supervision. Many supervisors assume evaluations create tension. In reality, clear expectations and documented feedback often strengthen the supervisory relationship because everyone knows where they stand.Whether you're supervising associates, graduate students, or social workers, this episode will help you create a process that is ethical, practical, and sustainable.In this episode, you'll learn:Why feedback and formal evaluation are not the same thing How documentation protects supervisors, supervisees, and clients What to include in a practical supervisee evaluation process How evaluations create growth plans instead of surprisesIf you've been avoiding evaluations because they feel uncomfortable, this conversation will help you rethink their purpose. Evaluation is not about punishment. It is about creating clarity, accountability, and measurable growth.Want to learn more? Check out this month's free resource from Kate Walker Training. If this episode raised questions about evaluation, documentation, supervision contracts, or difficult conversations with supervisees, those are exactly the conversations we continue inside the Step It Up Membership. You'll find practical tools, ethical guidance, and a community of supervisors working to build supervision practices that are structured, compliant, and designed for growth.Get your step by step guide to private practice.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements). Contact approach: 15‑minute intake, then a four‑meeting process (legacy planning → design → review → signing). Notable Quotes (for pull‑quotes & captions) “Think of a will as a letter to the judge… a will still has to go through probate court. “A trust allows families to bypass probate altogether so they aren’t paying legal fees or leaving things to people who want to challenge the will. “Life insurance is a huge tool—it can help the family pay off the mortgage so they can keep the home and the equity.” “Estate planning is a strategy—not just documents.” “Even 18‑year‑olds should have powers of attorney—parents can’t just call doctors once kids are legal adults.” “I stay in my lane—I’m an attorney. I work closely with trusted financial professionals and make non‑compensated referrals.” “For special‑needs planning, don’t jeopardize need‑based benefits—use the right trust so support continues. “I want to build a sustainable practice that lets me serve my community and rest well, aligned with my family and values.” Quick Action Items (for listeners inspired by the episode) Draft or update POAs (financial and health) for every adult in the household, including college‑age children. Evaluate whether a revocable living trust makes sense to avoid probate and retain post‑death control. For business owners: review operating agreement / buy‑sell, add key‑person insurance, and create a business POA. Families with special‑needs dependents: consult on special‑needs trusts to protect benefits. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As AI becomes increasingly capable of generating code, many developers are asking the wrong question. Instead of asking whether AI will replace developers, a better question is: What skills become more valuable when code generation becomes easier? The answer may be AI Deployment Ownership. About Jason Sherman Jason Sherman is a serial entrepreneur, filmmaker, author, and technology founder best known for building practical solutions that bridge the gap between emerging technology and real-world business problems. He is the founder and CEO of Vengo AI and has launched multiple technology platforms throughout his entrepreneurial career. Jason is known for his direct, hands-on approach to innovation, focusing on execution, product development, AI implementation, and helping businesses leverage technology without losing sight of operational realities. His perspective combines startup experience, software development expertise, product strategy, and a strong belief that technology should solve actual business problems rather than chase trends. Links: Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Website AI Deployment Ownership Changes the Developer Role Historically, many developers focused on implementation. Their value came from translating requirements into working code. Today, AI can assist with much of that work. That shifts responsibility upward. Developers are increasingly expected to understand: Architecture Infrastructure Security Deployment Automation The ability to oversee an entire system becomes more important than writing every line manually. Insight: AI raises the importance of systems thinking. Why Building Is No Longer Enough Many AI-created applications work perfectly in development environments. Production introduces a different reality. Organizations need: Monitoring Logging Security controls CI/CD pipelines Recovery procedures These are areas where experience matters significantly. An application that functions correctly in a demo environment may fail quickly when exposed to real-world usage patterns. AI Deployment Ownership Requires Infrastructure Knowledge One of the strongest themes from the conversation was ownership. Developers who understand deployment gain an advantage by moving beyond simple application development. Key capabilities include: Server management API security Automated deployments Version control workflows Environment management These responsibilities cannot be delegated entirely to AI. Action: Learn how applications move from development into production. The Rise of the Technical Operator The next generation of developers may resemble technical operators rather than pure coders. Their responsibilities include: Reviewing AI output Managing architecture Protecting infrastructure Maintaining reliability This shift mirrors previous technology transitions. Tools become easier. Responsibility becomes greater. AI Deployment Ownership Creates Career Protection Developers concerned about long-term career relevance should focus on areas where judgment matters. AI can generate code. It cannot reliably assume accountability. Organizations still need professionals who can: Evaluate tradeoffs Assess risks Make deployment decisions Own outcomes That ownership creates value. Conclusion The future belongs to developers who understand entire systems rather than individual code files. AI Deployment Ownership represents a practical path forward for developers looking to remain relevant in an increasingly automated environment. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

In this eye-opening conversation, Debi Robinson and Dr. John Neustadt expose a fundamental flaw in how we approach bone health: we've been focusing on bone density instead of actual fracture risk.Drawing from 20+ years of research and clinical practice, Dr. Neustadt reveals that only four nutrients have been proven in clinical trials to reduce fractures—calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 (MK-4 specifically), and magnesium. He challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation and explains why popular supplements like MK-7 and strontium fall short of their marketing claims.The episode deep-dives into why bone density tests are poor predictors of fracture risk, how supplement companies mislead consumers with marketing claims that don't align with clinical data, and the critical role of gut health, sleep, hormones, and lifestyle in fracture prevention.Most importantly, Debi and Dr. Neustadt provide actionable, evidence-based strategies that women can implement immediately to actually protect their bones—without fear-based messaging.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✓ Why bone density scores are not reliable predictors of fracture risk✓ The 4 nutrients with clinical trial evidence for fracture reduction (and the doses that actually work)✓ Why MK-7 vitamin K2 doesn't improve bone strength (and why MK-4 does)✓ How to assess YOUR individual calcium needs (most women are over-supplementing)✓ The vitamin D target range for optimal fracture protection✓ Why strontium supplements mislead consumers (and the hidden risks)✓ The role of melatonin receptors in bone health and sleep deprivation's link to fractures✓ How gut health directly impacts bone strength✓ The importance of serotonin, melatonin, and the gut-bone axis✓ HRT and testosterone replacement as part of a comprehensive bone health strategy✓ How to evaluate supplement companies and ensure they have fracture outcome data✓ Red flags when choosing bone health supplements✓ The gap between conventional medicine's approach (DEXA + medication) and integrative bone health✓ Why doctors are confused about osteoporosis (and how to advocate for yourself)ACTION STEPSGet your vitamin D tested. Aim for 30–44 ng/mL for optimal fracture protection (different from immune health recommendations).Assess your dietary calcium intake before adding supplements. If you're eating well, you may only need 400 mg as a supplement, not the standard 1,200 mg recommendation.Switch MK-7 supplements to MK-4. If you're taking a vitamin K2 supplement, verify it's MK-4 at 45 mg per day in divided doses. MK-7 doesn't reduce fractures.Check your supplement labels for strontium. If it's there, especially if the company markets it as "proven to improve bone density," consider switching to a formula without it.Prioritize gut health. Work with a practitioner to run stool tests if you have bloating, constipation, postnasal drip, or other GI symptoms. Gut inflammation accelerates bone loss.Track your sleep quality. Sleep deprivation is linked to 17% of fractures. If you're sleeping less than 6 hours nightly, prioritize this.Ask supplement companies the right questions:"Do you have fracture outcome data from clinical trials?""Will you provide a certificate of analysis showing purity and potency?""What guarantee do you offer?"Evaluate your medications. Check with your doctor: Are any of your current prescriptions contributing to bone loss? (SSRIs, certain blood pressure meds, proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids, etc.)Consider HRT or bioidentical hormone replacement, especially if you're post-menopausal. Research shows a 40% reduction in osteoporotic fracture risk with appropriate hormone therapy.Build lifestyle foundations: Prioritize whole-food nutrition, strength training, stress management, and community connection. Oxytocin (released through physical contact) supports bone health.RESOURCES & LINKSDr. John Neustadt's Website: nbihealth.com and book Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to OsteoporosisDebi's website: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healty Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones-program-v2/Join the Community: https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Yoga Therapy MasterClass: https://debirobinson.com/yoga-therapy-for-bones-health-mc/28-Day Stronger Bones Method: https://debirobinson.com/28-day-stronger-bonesmorning-method/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debirobinsonwellness/Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@debirobinsonwellness/DEBI'S TAKEAWAY"Fracture-proofing your bones isn't about chasing a higher DEXA score. It's about building the internal biochemical balance that actually prevents fractures. You have the research, you have the tools, and you have the power to take control of your bone health naturally. Use that power."

Listen to Episode 1058 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Decide whether you want an associate purely for production or someone you will develop into a leader and potential legacy successor.Use a recruitment service instead of posting a job yourself without understanding today's compensation models and contract pitfalls.Evaluate relational and empathetic patient-care philosophy early, not just clinical procedure capability.Confirm the associate is coachable and willing to be led during onboarding, not just eager to produce immediately.Start onboarding with financial clarity—how the P&L works and how pay is calculated—to prevent distrust and turnover.Pay associates on collections to tie compensation to real revenue and reinforce documentation, billing, and follow-through habits.Fix patient mix, services, and marketing before hiring an associate instead of expecting the associate to solve a broken model.Snippets:00:00 Hiring Associates Is Hard01:06 Meet Cassie Tallon03:41 Associate or Partner Choice05:30 Recruiting Landscape Today06:56 Fit Over Clinical Skills10:40 Pay Models That Work12:35 Equity and Autonomy14:31 Fix Patient Mix First19:10 Develop Associates Skills22:00 Retention and Transparency24:02 Work Life Satisfaction27:47 XChange Soft Skills Talk30:01 Final Advice and Wrap UpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Cassie Tallon is a dental operations leader with 20 years of experience spanning multi-doctor practices and DSOs, including supporting growth and operational efficiency across multiple locations.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with over 25 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in numerous crisis situations where she witnessed firsthand the gravity of trauma and grief. It was in these situations that she realized there were not enough opportunities to heal from trauma and loss after the initial crisis. With this knowledge, she formed Finding Freedom Therapy, PLLC, in 2014 with the vision of providing specialized treatment to those who have endured (or are continuing to endure) horrific traumas and unspeakable losses.After earning her degree in psychology and international studies from Texas A&M University, Amanda pursued her Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout her career, she has had the unique opportunity to gain notable hands-on experience, much of which was working in conjunction with the military, first responders, and frontline workers. She has worked alongside probation and parole officers in the field, with police officers on-scene, supported doctors and nurses in the ED and ICU departments of level-one trauma centers, counseled families of the recently deceased at the moment of loss, and worked next to the U.S. National Guard when assisting during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Harvey.Amanda's experience with veterans and military service members began early in her career with her graduate internship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, and later continued with her work as lead trauma therapist for an inpatient military program, Freedom Care, where she worked with active-duty combat military and veterans suffering from PTSD. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). Each and every step of her career has shaped and strengthened her ability to better assist clients through the most difficult times in their lives.Links Mentioned in this Episode Finding Freedom Therapy WebsiteDFW First Responders Support NetworkPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Trauma Informed Interactions with Veterans.

In this episode, Alex Pardo continues the raw, unfiltered coaching series with Storage Wins community member Dan, who is now under contract on a 28,000 square foot self-storage facility priced at $2.625 million. After the previous conversation surfaced a critical gap in Dan's deal analysis — specifically that revenue doesn't jump to projected levels overnight but ramps slowly over months — this episode picks up with Dan processing some mixed emotions and working through the real question every first-time storage investor eventually has to answer: is the juice worth the squeeze? Alex walks Dan through how to evaluate that question honestly, without just telling him what to do. They talk about what qualifies as a base hit versus a home run on a first deal, how to look at the deal through the conservative, likely, and best-case lenses without letting optimism drive the offer, and what it actually means to responsibly bring equity partners into a deal you still believe in. It's one of the most practical, unscripted conversations the show has aired — and if you're at a similar inflection point in your own storage journey, this one was made for you. You'll Learn How To: Determine whether a deal is a true base hit or just a deal you're forcing because you're hungry to close Evaluate a storage deal through conservative, likely, and best-case revenue scenarios without getting burned by optimism Understand why revenue ramp-up is a slow burn — not a light switch — and how to model it correctly Structure equity partner terms that are competitive with what active investors in the storage space are actually looking for Weigh the real value of getting into your first deal even when the returns aren't exceptional Recognize the orange flags in a deal's financing structure before they become red flags at closing Build the confidence and clarity needed to pull the trigger — or walk away — with a clear, defensible reason   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Alex previews the series and what Dan missed in the prior deal analysis — the revenue ramp-up problem [0:47] The 28,000 sq ft deal under contract: $2.625M purchase price and the cash flow math that surfaced some hard questions [2:32] Dan shares his mixed emotions after the last call — and Alex explains why they're recording it anyway [3:18] Dan's framing: the value of getting into a first deal, even knowing he'll give up 40% equity and an 8% preferred return [4:33] What Scott Speer and other coaches told Dan about what investors are actually looking for right now [5:31] Running the numbers: 9–11% cash on cash return over five years and a 17–18% annualized return — and why it's still short of the 12–15% benchmark [6:27] Alex's philosophy on first deals: it doesn't have to be a home run, but it does have to be a base hit with low risk [8:25] What Alex learned from his own early deals — buying in markets he wouldn't touch today — and the lesson about operations vs. market fundamentals [9:35] How to think about the juice-worth-the-squeeze question based on your season of life, your goals, and your risk profile [10:42] Why hunger to close a deal is not enough justification — and what separates discipline from paralysis [11:17] Dan makes the case for the facility: competitors with much higher rates and occupancy above 90% suggest meaningful room to push rates [13:12] Running the likely scenario vs. conservative: how higher confidence in the market changes the deal math [15:17] The revenue light-switch analogy — and why missing this detail is one of the most common first-deal mistakes [16:52] Potential paths forward: renegotiating terms with the seller, adjusting interest rate assumptions, or restructuring the equity split [19:19] Alex's reminder: always determine your exit before you enter — and what that means for this deal specifically [19:42] Alex wraps the series so far and challenges listeners following Dan's journey to keep showing up with the same persistence   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors who are under contract or close to it and second-guessing the numbers Investors who know they want to do a deal but aren't sure where to draw the line on acceptable returns Anyone who has ever confused being hungry to close with being ready to close Students of the Storage Wins community looking for a real-time, unscripted deal review Operators who want to understand how to model revenue ramp-up correctly before making an offer Investors considering bringing on equity partners and not sure what terms are realistic right now   Why You Should Listen: Most podcasts show you what winning looks like. This episode shows you what the messy middle looks like — the moment after you've done all the right things, run your analysis, gotten the deal under contract, and then discovered there was one number you weren't modeling correctly. That's not a failure. That's the job. And how you respond to that moment is what separates investors who close deals from investors who talk about deals. Alex doesn't hand Dan the answer here. He helps him build the framework to find it himself. What's the conservative case? What's the likely case? What does the market data actually support? What would a responsible equity partner need to see? Those questions matter a lot more than any single deal outcome — because the investor who can answer them clearly will keep finding deals long after this one is resolved. If you're in a similar moment right now — wrestling with whether a deal clears the bar or not — the framework Alex lays out in this conversation is one you can apply immediately to whatever is sitting in your pipeline.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Website — https://www.alexpardonow.com Storage Wins — https://www.storagewins.com Schedule a call with Alex — https://www.storagewins.com/call Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/alexpardonow Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/alexpardonow YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@alexpardonow   Join the Storage Wins Facebook community and connect with other investors working through deals just like this one at https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins.

Three active cases. Three different kinds of evidence failures. And the same underlying question: when investigators lose evidence, fail to collect it, or mishandle it, what are the real consequences — for the cases and for the system?In the Aaron Spencer case, a dashcam SD card was handled inconsistently with every other piece of evidence at the scene, in violation of department policy, and lost. A judge found the conduct gave "the appearance of a coverup" and dismissed the murder charge. Spencer was running for sheriff against the incumbent whose department handled the evidence.In the Mackenzie Shirilla case, investigators proved a double murder without a confession or testimony — using a data recorder that captured the accelerator floored at close to a hundred miles per hour with zero braking, surveillance footage showing a controlled trajectory, prior threats, a rehearsal drive, and coded jail calls that allegedly revealed a plan to fabricate a medical defense.In the Anna Kepner case, DNA evidence points to Timothy Hudson with 120 sextillion-to-one certainty, and injuries consistent with sustained force ruptured both of Anna's eardrums. But the FBI's lead agent couldn't confirm whether DNA was collected from Anna's neck — the area connected to the cause of death. The judge allowed Hudson to remain free on bond.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski for an extended analytical conversation about how the Bureau evaluates each of these failures, what the evidence tells them that it doesn't tell the general public, and where each case stands heading toward resolution.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a sitting judge writes that law enforcement conduct gave "the appearance of a coverup" and was "so egregious" that a murder prosecution must be dismissed — how does that language register at the federal level?Aaron Spencer's second-degree murder charge was thrown out after the court found investigators mishandled the one piece of evidence that mattered most: a dashcam SD card from Michael Fosler's truck that was most likely recording during the fatal encounter. The card was handled inconsistently with every other item at the scene, in violation of department policy. Then it vanished.Spencer killed Fosler after allegedly finding him with his daughter — the girl Fosler had been accused of harming, the man the system had released on bond. A father intervened when the system failed to protect his child. The system then turned that father into a defendant — and, according to the court, botched the investigation.The overlapping interests make the case even more troubling. Spencer was a candidate for Lonoke County sheriff, running against the incumbent whose department handled the evidence. The original judge was removed from the case twice by the state Supreme Court. From the detective who mishandled the SD card to the prosecutor who pressed forward despite mounting evidence problems, the failures didn't point in different directions — they all pointed the same way.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, who spent years investigating law enforcement conduct, and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to walk through how the Bureau evaluates a case where the entire local system appears compromised — and what it takes for federal investigators to open the door.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Locke joined DJ & PK to talk about the NBA Draft and look at the options the Utah Jazz have with the second overall selection.

In this episode, Alex Pardo reconnects with Dan to dig into the financial and strategic reality of his 28,000-square-foot storage facility under contract for $2.625M. This is part 3 of a multi-part series, and the conversation gets raw and unfiltered as they work through the deal's tightest challenge: Dan's initial miss on revenue ramp timing and how it impacts his cash flow projections and partnership structures. Alex uses this live deal walkthrough to unpack the critical thinking required before committing capital and equity to a first storage facility. It's messy, it's real, and it's exactly how serious operators need to evaluate opportunities before pulling the trigger.   You'll Learn How To: Understand revenue ramp dynamics and why projections don't happen overnight Evaluate whether a deal is worth equity and capital when returns are below market expectations Structure deals with debt and equity partners to manage cash flow gaps Identify when an interest rate or term change becomes a caution flag in a deal Design a facility exit strategy before you sign the purchase agreement Run conservative, likely, and best-case scenarios without falling into best-case bias Know the difference between doing a deal for experience and doing the right deal for returns   What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00] Alex and Dan discuss the three-part series on Dan's 28K sq ft facility deal under contract [01:10] The critical oversight: revenue doesn't jump immediately when you raise rates, it ramps slowly [02:00] How a 2-3 person per month net move-in creates negative cash flow for 5–10 months [03:29] Dan's mixed emotions: value of the first deal vs. whether the juice is worth the squeeze [04:01] Equity structure options: 40% equity with 8% preferred return vs. 12% interest-only with smaller equity [05:41] Projected returns: 9–11% cash-on-cash over five years, annualized 17–18% (below market expectations) [06:37] Alex's philosophy: first deal doesn't need to be a home run, but it has to be a base hit with low risk [08:05] Alex's cautionary tale: his early deals in certain markets he wouldn't repeat, but bar was lower because he was learning [09:24] The decision framework: enough due diligence to confidently move forward or walk away with reason [14:15] Where community homework and market analysis become invaluable in deal evaluation [16:03] Revenue ramp isn't a light switch: it's a slow burn that models must account for with conservative assumptions [16:49] Conservative, likely, and best-case scenarios: don't make offers expecting everything goes right [17:02] Going back to the seller after due diligence to renegotiate price, terms, or structure [17:25] Interest rate sensitivity: if 70–80 basis points breaks the deal, it's a yellow flag [18:34] Partnership scenarios: 40% equity vs. 20–30% equity depending on your time and value contribution [19:15] Exit strategy before entry: you determine how you exit, and rarely do you buy and operate forever   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors evaluating their first deal and unsure if the numbers work Operators with a property under contract trying to decide between partnerships, debt, or walking Investors who've been analyzing deals but haven't pulled the trigger and need a reality check Deal makers questioning whether their first facility has to be a grand slam or just a win Real estate operators learning the difference between deal experience and deal returns Anyone struggling with confidence on deal evaluation, market selection, or partnership structures   Why You Should Listen: This episode does something most storage content doesn't: it shows you the real conversation a smart operator has when a deal is tight, promising, but not yet perfect. Alex doesn't tell Dan "do it" or "don't do it." Instead, he walks him through the thinking process—how to weigh risk, returns, equity dilution, and the value of your first facility against the need to protect your capital and time. The key insight here is revenue ramp. It's the single detail that shifted Dan's deal from "looks good" to "needs more work." In self-storage, you don't buy a 60% occupied facility at a certain price, make some operational improvements, and suddenly it's 90% occupied next month. It takes time. Every month you're adding a few units, pushing rates on the existing base, and slowly building to your pro forma. If your financing doesn't account for that reality, your deal can go negative cash flow for longer than your capital can sustain. The broader lesson is this: your first storage deal should absolutely get you on base. It should teach you how to find, evaluate, underwrite, and operate a self-storage facility. But it shouldn't be a financially reckless trade just to check the box. Do the first one right, and you'll be confident to repeat it faster. Do the first one wrong, and you might be out capital, confidence, and momentum.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Storage Wins Podcast — storagwins.com Facebook — Storage Wins Community (join the group for continued learning and peer support) Instagram — @alexcpardo YouTube — Storage Wins   Doing your first storage facility is a big decision, and the temptation to move fast is real. But as Alex reminds Dan, there's no rush. You're not trying to do a deal for the sake of doing a deal. You're trying to do the right deal at the right time with returns that actually work. If you're ready to evaluate your first storage opportunity with clarity and confidence, head over to storagwins.com/call to schedule a free discovery call with Alex and explore whether self-storage is the right next move for you. The only thing standing between you and your goals is action.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements).

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements).

One of the hardest realities many new leaders face is this: inheriting a leadership title does not automatically mean you inherited the right leadership team. The question becomes, how do you know who needs development, who needs clarity, and who may no longer fit the future of the organization?Today, we're talking about one of the most emotionally difficult parts of leadership transition: Evaluating the leadership team you inherit.Because one of the greatest mistakes new leaders make is assuming they must either keep everyone or replace everyone quickly. Wise leadership requires discernment, patience, and honest evaluation.

MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. This series emphasizes productivity, provider performance, and team optimization to ensure we are at our best during high-pressure situations. In this episode, host Dr. Mark Ramzy chats with special guests and master educators about the concept of human factors.Dr. Chris Hicks is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and co-founder of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a physician-led simulation and design group. Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital, and Medical Director of the Unity Health Toronto Simulation Program. He’s an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto where his research focuses on simulation for systems and design improvement and optimizing the care of the bleeding patient. Along with Dr. Hicks, he’s also President of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a consulting firm that works with high-performance teams and uses simulation to enhance and design better healthcare spaces Cognitive Question How can the integration of human factors improve decision-making and performance in emergency medicine and critical care environments? ️What are Human Factors? In the context of healthcare, human factors encompass the interplay between humans, the systems they work within, and the effectiveness of their interactions. It includes elements like communication, system design, environmental conditions, and behavioral patterns affecting individual and team decision-making processes. It’s the collective impact of individual behaviors, team dynamics, and the physical environment on performance and outcomes. The aim is to eliminate issues arising from human error by creating systems and environments that naturally guide and support optimal performance. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? Efficient integration of human factors in high-pressure settings like the Emergency Department (ED) or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) helps mitigate the risks associated with stressful and chaotic environments. By focusing on system designs that account for human behavior, healthcare professionals can reduce errors, enhance team coordination, and ultimately improve patient care. This is crucial as teams are often required to make rapid, life-saving decisions in these environmentsThe design of clinical spaces can either hinder or help efficient care. Poorly arranged equipment or cluttered workspaces increase stress and impede decision-making. Implementing structured design principles, such as dedicated equipment zones and clear visual cues, can streamline workflows and enhance team coordinationIt actually helps pave the way for more efficiency because you end up “working smarter instead of harder”.It speaks directly to the Daniel Kahneman’s theory of Type 2 Thinking – which is a slow, analytical cognitive process requiring deliberate thoughtWe’ll likely create a whole dedicated episode to this but if you want to read more ahead of time on it, check out his book Thinking, Fast and Slow ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Assess Your Environment**: Take note of any clutter, noise, or layout issues in your workspace that could hinder optimal performance. Identify problem areas that could be optimized.**Recognizable Hard-Stop** – Implement a “Stop-Point” Check for areas or issues that involve more than just patient safety (ie. workflow inefficiencies, sign-out, throughput, etc). Use predefined benchmarks during procedures to ensure clarity and efficiency.**Foster Open Communication** – Encourage an environment where every team member feels comfortable discussing their thoughts and decisions without fear of judgment.**Prototype Solutions** – Work with colleagues to identify problems and brainstorm quick, cost-effective solutions that could be tested in your department.**Role Clarity and Preparation** – Ensure roles are clearly defined and team members are prepared with necessary resources readily available during high-stakes scenarios.**Test and Refine** – Conduct quick pilot tests of new setups or processes during quieter times and gather feedback from your team. Conclusion Human factors play a critical role in shaping healthcare outcomes. Through structured system designs and attention to team dynamics, it is possible to reduce inefficiencies and enhance both patient care and provider well-being. It requires a shift in perspective from seeing design and systems as separate from human behaviors, to seeing them as intricately linked. By incorporating these principles, healthcare professionals can create environments that inherently support better, safer, and more effective patient care. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Incorporating human factors into healthcare isn’t just about preventing errors—it’s about creating an ecosystem where the healthcare team is empowered to perform at their best, even under the most challenging conditions. Implementing small, iterative changes can create a meaningful impact, paving the way for improved systems and processes. This starts by redesigning systems and environments with human factors in mind, which can significantly improve both the efficiency of care delivery and the safety of the healthcare environment.

In Episode 206 of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher goes one level deeper into the WHO of the ELL Success Cycle — moving from knowing where students are (the five stages from last week) to understanding how language is actually acquired. This episode is built around one of the most influential bodies of research in language education: the work of Stephen Krashen. By the end of the episode, listeners will understand their classroom environment in a completely new way — not as a soft, feel-good addition to instruction, but as a direct lever on language acquisition itself.Beth opens with a scenario every ELL teacher has experienced: a student who seemed to be making progress and then suddenly stalled. They went quiet, stopped taking risks, started shutting down. The answer, Beth explains, often lies in something called the affective filter — and understanding it changes how you read every student in your room.Before getting to the affective filter, Beth lays the foundational distinction that Krashen identified between language acquisition and language learning. Language learning is conscious and explicit — memorizing grammar rules, studying vocabulary lists, conjugating verbs. Beth shares her own experience learning Spanish, where she could conjugate verbs perfectly on paper but completely fell apart in actual conversation. That gap between learned knowledge and natural use is exactly what Krashen's research addresses. Language acquisition, by contrast, is subconscious — the same process a child uses to acquire their first language. It happens through immersion, meaning-making, and internalization, not deliberate study. Krashen's key finding is that what we ultimately want for our students is acquisition, not just learning, because only acquired language can be accessed automatically in real conversation, spontaneous writing, and academic work.The first condition for acquisition is what Krashen called comprehensible input — language that is just one step beyond the student's current level. Not way above, not at their current level, but i plus one. When input is comprehensible, the brain processes it and acquisition begins. When it is incomprehensible — too far above the student's level — it is essentially noise. Beth makes the connection direct and practical: assigning a grade-level text to a developing student without scaffolding is not instruction, it is noise. Using visuals, gestures, simplified language, and context clues to make content accessible is comprehensible input. This, Beth explains, is exactly why sheltered instruction matters and why scaffolding is not lowering expectations — it is creating the conditions for acquisition.The second condition is the affective filter — the wall that goes up when a student feels anxious, self-conscious, afraid of making mistakes, or unsafe. When the filter is high, even comprehensible input cannot get through. The language is there but the brain blocks it from being processed. When the filter is low — when a student feels safe, relaxed, motivated, and supported — comprehensible input flows directly into acquisition. Beth gives a vivid example: the difference between how students perform in her pull-out classroom versus when they return to a homeroom classroom where they feel less safe. The affective filter explains that difference completely.Beth closes with four concrete classroom applications — audit your input, lower the filter intentionally, create meaningful interaction, and be patient — and introduces the free comprehensible input classroom checklist available by DMing the word INPUT to @EquippingELLs on Instagram.FREE RESOURCE: DM the word INPUT to @EquippingELLs on Instagram for the free comprehensible input classroom checklist.

Podcast guesting still works to position your authority, build recognition around your expertise, and attract new leads. But the way most people secure podcast interviews is shifting…and much of what used to work no longer does. Case in point, many of the established show hosts I know do not accept pitches from people they don't know. Even with a solid topic and a polished media kit, if you don't have an "in" you probably aren't getting booked on popular shows. In Episode 493 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I walk through what I heard from the 20+ podcast hosts during my Visibility Velocity event that would cause them to book a guest on their show. I'm highlighting what podcast hosts Katherine Thompson, Samantha Riley, Lori Young, Jennifer Urezzio, and Darla LeDoux revealed about what makes a guest stand out and why authentic conversation, expertise, and audience resonance matter more than scripted pitches. I also share the four main types of guest interview shows, the emerging patterns I'm seeing around podcast guesting, what hosts are truly looking for before they say yes, and why some experts continue creating meaningful visibility opportunities while others struggle to gain traction. If podcast guesting is on your radar to grow your visibility but it's started feeling harder, less effective, or more competitive lately, this episode will help you understand what's changing underneath it and how to approach visibility opportunities in a way that creates stronger alignment, trust, and business growth.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why the visibility landscape and podcast guesting opportunities are shifting right now. [03:06] The four different types of podcast models and how they impact your visibility strategy. [04:30] Why celebrity and high-profile podcasts are often invitation-based or pay-to-play opportunities. [06:34] How some interview podcasts function more as sales funnels than audience-building platforms. [07:44] Why collaboration and relationship-building matter more than cold podcast pitches. [09:48] The hidden reason many hosts stop accepting unsolicited guest pitches. [10:42] What I look for in podcast guests and how collaboration creates stronger visibility opportunities. [13:38] Why unique perspectives and original insights matter more than generic teaching frameworks. [14:46] The importance of conversational interviews instead of rehearsed expert monologues. [16:32] Why aligned audience fit matters more than simply getting exposure on larger shows. [19:09] How audience resonance impacts whether podcast guesting actually converts into opportunities. [21:44] Why community and collaboration are becoming essential in the new business landscape.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   Kathryn Thompson, host of BE The Sought After Entrepreneur - https://www.soughtafterentrepreneur.com/ Samantha Riley, host of The Business Growth Lab - https://samanthariley.global/podcast/ Lori Young, host of Offer Mojo Show - https://www.buzzsprout.com/2425592 Jennifer Urezzio, Asked & Answered by Soul Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/asked-and-answered-by-soul/id1537594615 Darla LeDoux, host of Activating Magic Podcast - https://sourcedexperience.com/activating-magic-podcast/ Join me on Substack here to discover what's working now as our industry continues to evolve.

Ileocolic resection is one of the most common operations performed for Crohn's disease, yet the optimal approach to anastomotic construction and mesenteric management remains an active area of debate. From the configuration of the anastomosis to the extent of mesenteric excision, emerging evidence suggests that surgical technique may play a meaningful role in disease outcomes. Join Drs. Jared Hendren, Elissa Dabaghi, Joseph Trunzo, Ajaratu Keshinro, and David Rosen as they discuss methods for ileocolic anastomosis in Crohn's disease while reviewing the latest literature.Hosts: - Jared Hendren, MDInstitution: Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio- Elissa Dabaghi, MDInstitution: Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio- Joseph Trunzo, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter @joseph_trunzo- Ajaratu Keshinro, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter- @AJKesh- David Rosen, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter- @davidrrosenmdLearning Objectives: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to:1.     Evaluate the evidence for the Kono-S anastomosis in reducing postoperative recurrence after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease2.     Describe the role of the mesentery in driving recurrence and discuss how mesenteric-targeting surgical approaches may influence outcomes3.     Interpret the results of recent randomized controlled trials on extended mesenteric excision and apply them to surgical decision-making in ileocolic resection for Crohn's diseasePlease visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium: https://behindtheknife.org/premiumOral Board Review: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-boardOral Board Simulator: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-board/simulatorGeneral Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US
