Comparison Anxiety — A Guided Meditation for When You Feel Behind in Life | Box Breathing Comparison anxiety can creep in on the most ordinary days — that quiet sense that everyone else has the job, the relationship, the plan, and you're still standing at the same crossroads. This guided meditation is for anyone who feels like the only one who hasn't got it together, using box breathing (4-4-4-4) to calm the nervous system before a set of gentle affirmations that put the measuring stick down for good. Download the free Anchored app — the one app with no feed, no likes, nothing to compare yourself against — at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode gently separates life-stage comparison anxiety from doomscrolling — it's not about the scroll itself, but about what we do to ourselves when we hold our own life up against someone else's highlight reel. You'll be guided through steady box breathing, then a golden-light visualisation and a set of affirmations to help you feel calm, grounded, and enough exactly as you are. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Cold Open: The Only One Who Hasn't Got It Together* 01:00 – Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)* 05:00 – Golden Light Affirmations* 09:00 – 3 Daily Caring Tips* 10:00 – Outro & Anchored 

Do you ever notice that you can be having a perfectly fine day… and then someone else's mood changes everything? Your teenager is grumpy, and suddenly you're walking on eggshells. Your husband is frustrated, and you can't seem to relax. Someone is disappointed in you, and you spend the rest of the day wondering what you did wrong. You might not think of yourself as someone who gets angry or has a bad mood. You probably think of yourself as stressed, overwhelmed, worried, or exhausted. But what if part of the reason you feel so overwhelmed is that you're constantly responding to what everyone else is feeling? In this quick bonus episode, I'm talking about why other people's emotions can affect us so deeply, why we can know intellectually that their feelings are theirs and still get completely pulled into them, and what emotional regulation has to do with it. And if this sounds familiar, I'd love for you to join me for my FREE workshop, How to Stop Letting Everyone Else Ruin Your Mood. Sign up here: https://smbwell.com/event I'll teach you the 4 automatic responses that can take over when you're stressed or activated and show you how to start creating more space between what happens around you and how you respond. Because you can care deeply about the people you love without letting their emotions determine how you feel. You don't need to become less caring. You need to learn how to stay connected to yourself while other people are having their feelings.   FREE workshop, How to Stop Letting Everyone Else Ruin Your Mood.

Following a 27-year career as a CEO and entrepreneur, Jim Ellis became a professor and — from 2007 to 2019 — dean of the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. Many of his former students are successful entrepreneurs and business leaders. Jim — author of the new book, A Journey of Insights: Lessons in Leadership and Legacy — says he learned as much as he taught by listening to the ideas and feedback of students, colleagues, alumni, family members, and even strangers. Many attributes distinguish a great leader from a good one. However, as Jim explains, being a discerning listener may be the most important leadership skill of all. You won't need an MBA to learn from Jim. All you need is to tune in to this week's episode. Monday Morning Radio, now in its 15th season, is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Danny and Tobi give some candidates for Commanders' players that are being overlooked by everyone else and might have a big 2026.

Questions about how to deal with someone whose mission is to tear down everyone else's beliefs about Jesus, how to help a child or teen who seems liable to turn away form God due to peer pressures, and how to reach a daughter who says she wouldn't be a Christian even if it were true.   How do you deal with a Christian who has deconstructed and whose mission is to try to tear down everyone else's beliefs about Jesus? What should parents do to help a child or teen who seems liable to turn away from God due to peer pressures? How can I reach my daughter, who professed to be saved as a child but now is out of church, in a relationship with a trans man, and says she would not be a Christian even if Christianity were true?

In this episode of Girl, We Got This, Laticia does her walk and talk and gets vulnerable about one of the easiest traps to fall into: believing you're behind in life. Whether it's your career, relationships, motherhood, healing, finances, or starting over, social media can make it feel like everyone else is getting there faster but we're not all starting from the same place.Laticia opens up about her own childhood, being raised by young parents, growing up with instability and a strict upbringing, family trauma, and the discipline she developed through sports and how those experiences shaped her relationship with success. She explores why our childhood, resources, support systems, fear, trauma, knowledge, and opportunities all influence the timeline of our lives.This is your reminder to stop comparing your chapter to someone else's, give yourself more compassion, and redefine what success actually means for you. Laticia shares why healing, caring for your body, finding the right community, doing the inner work, and becoming more aligned with your higher self may matter far more than how quickly you reach the next milestone.Because maybe you're not behind at all. Maybe you're simply on your own timeline, in divine time.

What's the real difference between being wealthy and being successful - and why do so many entrepreneurs sacrifice one for the other? In this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing For Entrepreneurs, host Nick Lamagna sits down with Tom Krol - founder of Coaching Inc., Wholesaling Inc. and PSL Home Buyers, real estate wholesaling pioneer, and one of the most respected coaches and mentors in the real estate investing space.

Eric, Travis's producer and a fellow long-term podcaster, joins him in studio for a candid conversation about the advantage most people overlook: consistency. Drawing on years of podcasting and firsthand experience building content, Travis and Eric unpack why creators abandon opportunities too early, why buying a course does not create results, and how simply following through can make you stand out. On this episode we talk about: Why tougher YouTube monetization hurdles can create opportunity for persistent creators The simple competitive advantage of continuing when other people quit Why people buy courses, gym memberships, and resources but fail to use them Lessons from nearly a decade of podcasting and watching shows disappear How to set expectations, responsibilities, and ownership before launching a podcast with co-hosts Reframing overwhelm and doing the next piece of work even when you are tired Top 3 Takeaways The most reliable way to separate yourself is to keep showing up after other people stop. Consistency is a real competitive advantage. Information and purchases do not produce results on their own. Turn every course, tool, or plan into a specific next action. Treat a co-hosted show like a business partnership from day one: clarify responsibilities, financial commitments, and ownership before problems arise. Notable Quotes “The key to success in most areas is literally to just not stop when other people are stopping. It's to outlast.” “You're not competing with anyone.” “The bad news is that most people aren't willing to do the work, but the good news is if you are, then you can stand out really easily.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  Learn more about your ad choices.

What does God see when He looks at our giving, our service, and our faith? In this powerful episode, Brother Jim explores the story of the poor widow in Mark 12 and the two tiny coins she placed in the temple treasury. While everyone else saw a gift that seemed insignificant, Jesus saw something completely different—a sacrifice born from complete faith and trust in God. Through this story, Brother Jim challenges us to look beyond appearances and ask the questions that truly matter: Are we giving God our leftovers or our best? Are we serving Him only when it is comfortable and convenient? And how much of our lives truly belongs to Him? From a remarkable story of a Vietnamese family who sacrificed their prized water buffalo for the work of the Gospel, to the ultimate example of sacrificial giving found in Jesus Christ, this episode reminds us that God measures sacrifice, not size; faithfulness, not recognition; and the heart, not the outward appearance. Brother Jim encourages us to consider what God has entrusted to each of us—our time, talents, resources, finances, and opportunities—and challenges us to stop asking, “God, what can You give me?” and start asking, “God, what can I give You today?” Because Jesus sees what everyone else misses. Key Scriptures: Mark 12:41–44, 1 Samuel 16:7, James 4:10, John 3:16–17, and 2 Corinthians 9:6–8. Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: What has God entrusted to me, and what am I doing with it for His glory?

What if the opportunity everyone else is laughing at is exactly the one you should be paying attention to?--------------Billy Thorpe built his business by taking the small video deals other creators dismissed, then figuring out how to make the math work through speed, consistency, and a repeatable system.Billy shares why creators should question the unwritten rules in their industry, focus on profit instead of impressive revenue numbers, and build direct relationships with customers instead of depending entirely on a platform. We also get into repeat business, finding new revenue inside work you're already doing, knowing when “enough” really is enough, and why staying adaptable matters when your business inevitably changes.Key PointsDon't automatically dismiss an opportunity because other people think it's too small, cheap, or weird.Test industry “rules” for yourself instead of assuming someone else's numbers apply to your business.Look at profit and efficiency, not just the price of an individual deal or your total revenue.Build systems that let you do the same work faster without sacrificing what the customer actually needs.Own your customer relationships so losing a platform doesn't mean losing your entire business.Look for additional ways to monetize work you've already created, including usage rights, formats, and other platforms.Repeat customers can be more valuable than constantly finding and selling new ones.Decide what “enough” looks like for you instead of letting someone else's income or workload define success.AI can help you get more value from your own knowledge and experience, but trust and real human experience are essential to product content.ResourcesBilly Thorpe: Website | YouTube | Billy's Facebook GroupZac Brown: Website | Podcast | Book----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15CreatorNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Why do some retreat leaders build thriving businesses while others give up after one launch?   It's usually not because they're better marketers.   It's not because they have a bigger audience.   And it's rarely because they have the perfect retreat.   It's because they keep showing up.   In this solo episode, Shannon Jamail shares one of the biggest mindset shifts every retreat leader needs to hear: success doesn't come from avoiding failure-it comes from refusing to quit.   Using Thomas Edison's famous light bulb story as a starting point, Shannon explains why silence, slow sales, and objections aren't signs your retreat is failing. They're simply part of building a business.   If you're wondering whether your retreat is worth continuing to promote, this episode is your reminder to keep going. In This Episode You'll Learn: Whether you're planning your first retreat or you've been leading retreats for years, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up-even when it feels like no one is watching. Key Takeaways Silence Isn't Failure A quiet week doesn't mean your retreat won't fill. It means your marketing is still working its way through the process. Don't Confuse Feedback With Failure A "no" is information. A slow launch is information. Use it to improve-not to quit. The Best Retreat Leaders Stay Visible People rarely book after seeing your retreat once. Consistency builds familiarity, trust, and eventually bookings. Success Belongs to Those Who Keep Going Every successful retreat leader has experienced objections, slow sales, and moments of doubt. The difference is they kept showing up. Your Future Guests Can't Book a Retreat They Never See Visibility isn't a one-time event. It's a habit.   Subscribe:  Apple Podcast | Google Podcast | Spotify   --------- TIMESTAMPS The Real Reason You're Losing Money (00:00:55) Shannon reveals the biggest mistake retreat leaders make: they stop showing up and promoting their offerings too soon. The Thomas Edison Analogy (00:01:09) Using Thomas Edison's persistence, Shannon illustrates the importance of viewing "no's" and objections as data, not failure. Handling Rejection and Feedback (00:02:17) Shannon discusses why retreat leaders spiral after rejection and encourages them to see feedback as data points for improvement. Refining Your Message (00:03:23) Instead of giving up, leaders should analyze feedback to refine their messaging and better communicate their retreat's core transformation. Silence is Not a Verdict (00:04:43) Shannon emphasizes that a lack of sign-ups isn't a reason to quit, but a signal to analyze your messaging. The Power of Desire Over Objections (00:06:02) When a potential client truly desires the transformation you offer, objections like price or time become irrelevant. A Personal Story of Persistence (00:07:05) Shannon shares her personal story of overcoming financial and time objections to attend a retreat in France she truly valued. The Dangers of a Scarcity Mindset (00:09:04) Operating from a place of fear and scarcity will sabotage your efforts and be felt by your potential clients. The Key to Success: Show Up (00:10:01) Shannon reiterates that consistently showing up with belief in your offering is what leads to registrations and a successful business. Common Visibility Mistakes (00:11:04) Many leaders fail because their retreat is hard to find online and their messaging isn't clear to their ideal client. Borrowing Belief from Others (00:11:55) Shannon advises getting into rooms with successful peers to borrow their belief and strengthen your own resolve to succeed.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, composer and recording artist Liva Strazdina, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Liva Strazdina Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- Liva Strazdina made the decision to pursue post-secondary studies in jazz music, and had been accepted to the Carl Maria von Weber Dresden University of Music, but there remained one crucial thing that she had to tackle first: Changing her embouchure. She had heard the suggestions before, the recommendations to do something about it before it got worse and created excessive fatigue. But the time had come. Liva was guided by the acclaimed yet demanding instructor Malte Burba, showing her breathing and muscle-building techniques that embraced the full body, not just the lips, mouth and lungs. Which led to Liva spending a solid three months practicing with only a mouthpiece, while her new classmates were progressing with her studies. Undoubtedly a test of perseverance and commitment! Liva compares her training to that of an athlete, who must see the bigger picture and the ultimate trajectory, particularly during the repetitive and even painful days of practice and repetition. Fortunately for her, and all of us, her commitment has led to a burgeoning career in jazz music, and the debut of her first album, Unbalanced, featuring a mixture of original compositions and interpretations. Listen in for a thoughtful conversation, and a thoughtful album, about trumpet, creativity, resilience, and building a life in music. About Liva Strazdina: Līva Strazdiņa, born in 1997 in Berlin with Latvian roots, combines depth, expression and a clear personal tone in her music. After studying jazz trumpet as her main instrument at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music in Dresden, with teachers including Sebastian Studnitzky, Malte Burba, Simon Harrer and Till Brönner, she developed a distinctive musical language marked by intense melodic writing and a fine balance between energy and intimacy. As a trumpeter and flugelhornist, she chooses her instrument deliberately based on mood and tone color. Alongside numerous ensemble projects, big band experience, awards and tours including the Berlin Youth Jazz Orchestra, studio recordings with LaJJazzO and tours with the indie band BEACHPEOPLE, Līva is also active as a composer. Her music reflects not only influences from jazz greats such as Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, but also singer songwriters like Billy Joel and pop icons like Pink Floyd and Eminem. With her debut album, Līva shares her innermost thoughts and feelings. The album invites listeners to immerse themselves in these emotions and reflect on their own emotional world.

This morning, in the first thirty minutes after you woke up, who did the morning belong to? Did it belong to you? Or did it belong to your inbox, your notifications, the news, and the chaos of getting everyone else out of the door? For many senior leaders, the answer is the latter. The morning that had the potential to set them up for everything that followed was handed over before they had even fully woken up. Nobody took it from them, they gave it away.In this episode of The Lonely Leader Podcast, James Rule returns to one of the most consistently requested topics in the back catalogue and goes significantly deeper than the original Episode 4. This episode is about standards, because how you start the morning is a direct reflection of the standards you hold yourself to and the morning audit James shares at the end will make that uncomfortably clear.James builds a practical framework for reclaiming the first hour of your day, a set of non-negotiables that take fifteen minutes and change how the rest of the day feels.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhy most leaders have a morning reaction rather than a morning routine and the difference it makes.The Three and Three practice revisited, expanded, and built upon from Episode 4.Why the phone has to wait and how to handle every objection to that.Why a good morning starts the night before.The complete framework for building a morning that serves you, adapted to your own life and rhythm.A five-day morning audit challenge that reveals exactly what you have been accepting.Accelerate your growth and development with The Lonely Leader Academy If you want to work through some of these areas in more depth, to accelerate your learning and access tools, tactics and tips to drive performance and enhance fulfilment then check out The Lonely Leader Academy: https://tll.academyRELATED EPISODES FROM THE ARCHIVEEpisode 4 - High performers do this everyday to empower their mindsetEpisode 33 - High Performance Pledges Episode 93 - Inside The Lonely Leader: My story, my philosophy, my purposeABOUT THE HOST James is an experienced mentor, coach and thought leader who works with a range of clients from FTSE 100 companies, SME´s the NHS and wider public and not for profit sectors.His twenty year career in elite sport initially as a professional rugby player but predominantly as a chief executive has given him an invaluable insight in managing the success, failures and pressures associated with leadership at the highest level.As a high performance coach James specialises in enhancing resilience and leadership development.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the biggest thing dividing Trinidad and Tobago isn't race, politics or religion—but the way we choose to treat each other?This week, I reflect on the response to our Dominic Hadeed interview before exploring the conversations that dominated the Emancipation weekend. From the Indian High Commission controversy and the Emancipation Village to politics, identity and national discourse, one question kept coming back:Why do we so often extend grace to strangers, yet struggle to show that same grace to our own people?Along the way, we discuss:The response to the Dominic Hadeed interviewEmancipation, identity and national prideThe Indian High Commission controversyThe Emancipation Village experiencePolitics, race and public discourseWhy supporting culture also means supporting businessWhat it means to build a country where everyone belongsThese weekly conversations aren't about telling you what to think. They're about slowing down, looking beyond the headlines and making sense of the issues shaping Trinidad and Tobago.I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

A man who refuses to provide is easy to name. But what do we call a woman who refuses to want? In this episode, Jess makes the case that desire is not indulgence — it's the woman's role, her link to the divine, and the portal through which everyone around her gets to experience their own expansion.Imagine a man in the hunter-gatherer days who simply says: I'm not going out. We can starve. We'd recognise that instantly as an abdication.Jess opens this episode with the female equivalent — the woman who refuses to go into her desires. Because if the masculine's role is to provide, contain, secure and problem-solve, the feminine's role is to be the dreamer, the visionary, the lover: the one who brings through everything that's on her heart and in her imagination, so that everyone around her gets to live inside it.This is the lover archetype in full expression — I want everything, I want to experience everything — met by the masculine (inner or outer) saying let me get it for you. And its shadow is the prostitute: survival mode, where every desire arrives pre-attached to a reason it can't be had.Jess frames the whole thing through what she calls being a champagne person — the friend whose house you turn up at unannounced at 10am and the champagne and hors d'oeuvres come out anyway. Not because it's materialistic, but because the frequency of celebration is what lightness feels like from the inside, and everyone in that field can feel it.Topics covered:The two abdications — the man who won't provide, and the woman who won't desire, and why we only ever name the first oneBudget energy vs. expansion energy — the felt difference between a family, a dinner, a shopping trip run on constriction and one run on have whatever you want, and what each one does to a nervous systemThe lover and her shadow — why the prostitute archetype isn't about sex or even about women specifically, but about survival mode and the endless reasons a desire can't be metA woman as the portal — desire as the mechanism that opens the connection to divinity, the quantum, the morphic field, and keeps it open for everybody in her orbitWhat children inherit — how a mother's imagination, curiosity and openness become the ceiling or the sky of what her children ever get to experienceThe activated masculine in motherhood — wanting your children safe, protected and provided for as the intuitive, non-negotiable version of the same instinctThe hostess of life — beauty in the home, beauty in the business, beauty as something you build for other people to step intoGiving as a love language — why the face lighting up is the point, and why receiving has to go both waysPlanet Earth as a holiday you booked — and the option, available at any moment, to go back to the travel agent and upgrade from the budget packageThe Disney World problem — a week at the park and one ride (which was the monorail), versus the fast pass, the golf cart, and every experience on offerConsciousness as the gate — if a desire has never entered your mind because it feels like it's for other people, it isn't coming. Bring it into consciousness and it very likely canWhatever you're not wanting for yourself, you're restricting for everybody around you.----------------------------------------------Work with JessThe VesselThere's a version of your work where the income doesn't stop when you do — where what you build once keeps providing, for you and for everyone who relies on your vision of what's possible.The Vessel is Jess's annual container for women building exactly that: recurring revenue, premium positioning, and a business that runs on desire rather than depletion. Quarterly intakes, small by design.If you've been waiting for permission to want the expanded version — this is it.https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/Connect with Jess

Show notes:This week on the podcast I'm chatting to Delia Monk. Delia is a messaging strategist and conversion copywriter who helps business owners uncover what makes them different and then communicate it in a way that actually connects with the right people. But before that, she had a fascinating career as a political journalist before spending ten years building a successful travel business. When the pandemic completely turned her world upside down, she had to reinvent herself all over again, and that journey has shaped the way she approaches marketing today.In this episode, we chat about why so much marketing feels the same, why connection matters more than perfection, and how you can uncover what Delia calls your “spark” so your marketing genuinely reflects who you are.We also dive into storytelling, why selling doesn't have to feel awkward, how to use AI without losing your personality, and why your existing clients are actually your best source of copywriting inspiration.Delia's newsletterDelia's InstagramUnapologetic entrepreneurship podcast Time stamps:00:11 - Introduction to Wedding Marketing Strategies04:46 - The Decline of Journalism and a New Beginning11:45 - Navigating Change: A Journey Through Travel and Adversity13:34 - The Journey to Becoming a Conversion Copywriter25:15 - Defining Your Spark in Copywriting27:53 - Strengths and Vulnerabilities in the Industry35:34 - Understanding the Importance of Values in Business41:11 - Transitioning to Effective Communication46:15 - The Art of Story Selling54:49 - Finding Your Unique Voice in Selling01:02:32 - Unapologetic Entrepreneurship: A New Beginning01:06:00 - The Power of Email Marketing

What separates the highest-performing franchisees from everyone else? Barb Moran believes it starts with something many leaders don't measure closely enough: franchisee engagement. Many franchisors focus on growing their systems, but long-term success depends on something far less obvious: building franchisees who are fully engaged in the business and invested in the success of the entire brand. In this episode, Barb Moran, CEO of Moran Family of Brands, shares why engagement has become one of the strongest predictors of profitability inside her organization and how intentionally building the right culture helps franchisees embrace change, collaborate with one another, and build stronger businesses.Barb also reflects on her journey from being told she would never lead her family's company because she was a woman to ultimately becoming CEO and expanding the business into Canada. Along the way, she shares practical lessons on succession planning, building core values that shape everyday decisions, creating meaningful collaboration between franchisees, and helping owners become active contributors to the success of the entire system.Whether you're launching a franchise brand or leading an established system, this conversation offers practical strategies for building stronger franchise relationships, increasing engagement, and creating sustainable, long-term growth.Connect with Barb:Email: BMoran@moranbrands.comWebsite: https://moranfamilyofbrands.com/Episode Highlights:Why franchisee engagement drives profitabilityMeasuring franchisee engagement and accountabilityBuilding a franchise culture around the DRIVE core valuesCreating collaboration through peer groups and town hallsGrowing up in the family business and becoming CEOBuying the family business and navigating successionEmbracing AI and technology as opportunities for growthExpanding Moran Family of Brands into CanadaPreserving culture during acquisitions and growthLeadership advice for both franchisors and franchiseesConnect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Brandon Mccaghren (aka "B Mac") - double black belt under Eddie Bravo of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and Carlos Machado, head instructor at 10th Planet Decatur, elite grappling commentator for EBI, CJJ, UFC Fight Pass, and co-founder and commissioner of the Professional Grappling Federation (PGF) - for a conversation packed with mindset gold, business wisdom, and Jiu Jitsu philosophy. Brandon opens up about the blunt conversation with his wife that got him on the mats in the first place, the eight years he spent as a youth minister before finding martial arts, and how a "corny little redneck" from Lawrence County, Alabama became one of the most recognizable teachers and voices in grappling. He shares why he refuses to build his identity around any one title, how his background as a musician shaped the way he teaches and improvises on the mat, and why first principles thinking - not memorizing moves - is what actually creates mastery. Brandon also gets into the real story behind PGF, the league he's building with co-founder Keelan, Five Finger Death Punch's Zoltan Bathory, and Gracie family member Heather to become the first true team-and-season sports model Jiu Jitsu has ever had, and why he believes it's the key to finally giving grapplers a sustainable career path. In this episode you'll discover: ✅Why taking feedback without tying it to your identity is the real key to growth ✅The first principles approach to teaching that makes complex moves simple ✅How his background as a musician shaped his creativity and improvisation on the mat ✅The "document don't create" philosophy that built his personal brand ✅Inside the Professional Grappling Federation and the plan to scale to 32 teams This isn't just a story about Jiu Jitsu. It's about mentorship, reinvention, first principles thinking, and building something built to outlast you.   Connect with Brandon: bjj365.club Brandon Mccaghren on Instagram Brandon Mccaghren on Facebook Brandon Mccaghren on YouTube Brandon Mccaghren on LinkedIn Brandon Mccaghren on Twitter Brandon Mccaghren on TikTok Brandon Mccaghren on Threads   Connect with Professional Grappling Federation: pgf.world PGF on Instagram PGF on Facebook PGF on YouTube PGF on LinkedIn PGF on Twitter PGF on TikTok PGF on Threads PGF on Kick   Connect with 10th Planet Decatur: www.decaturbrazilianjiujitsu.com 10th Planet Decatur on Instagram 10th Planet Decatur on Facebook 10th Planet Decatur on Twitter   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Text Nick (516)540-5733 Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

As more businesses use the same tools, follow the same trends, and borrow the same messaging, the internet is beginning to feel surprisingly similar. Websites look alike. Copy sounds alike.

Megan owns a marketing agency and has been helping entrepreneurs in the digital space since 2014, working from her tiny house on the side of a mountain in British Columbia. Before running her agency, she owned a Pilates studio and a digital magazine, and she now teaches business owners how to market with one strong content anchor instead of chasing every platform at once.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy Megan calls herself a "minimalist marketing strategist" and what that means for a solo business ownerThe wardrobe analogy that makes minimalist marketing clickWhy long-form content should be the anchor everything else gets built aroundWhat connection-driven Black Friday marketing looks like versus the hustle-and-panic version most of us knowAnd so much moreResources & Links Mentioned In This Episode▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/black-friday-marketing-tips-for-photographers/▸ Get your free ticket to the Black Friday Virtual Summit: https://blackfridaysummit.com/Connect with MeganInstagramConnect with Me (Dolly DeLong Education)

You'd never speak to a friend the way you speak to yourself. This episode is about that gap — the double standard most of us carry without examining it — and what the research actually shows about what self-compassion does and doesn't do to your drive, your resilience, and your ability to change. Ready to break the cycle for good? If this episode resonated with you, there's something you need to try next…

Have you ever known what you needed to do—even when everyone around you disagreed? In this deeply personal episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda shares the story of one of the most important intuitive decisions she's ever made: driving across the country to see her father despite nearly everyone telling her not to go. That decision gave her sixteen priceless days with her dad before his passing. This conversation isn't just about grief. It's about learning to trust yourself when there are no guarantees, no certainty, and no unanimous approval. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why intuition rarely arrives with external validation • How to distinguish inner knowing from fear • Why emotional doesn't automatically mean dysregulated • What self-trust actually looks like in real life • How to move forward when other people's opinions conflict with your own knowing If you've ever questioned your intuition because someone else couldn't understand it, this episode is for you.

Lance Reisland breaks down Baker Mayfield's contentious contract interview with Jeremy Fowler, agreeing Mayfield has a right to feel disrespected by Tampa Bay's offer but warning that going public with contract gripes during camp is a mistake that lets outsiders control his story once the losses start. Reisland argues Mayfield hasn't changed since entering the league, thrives when he feels disrespected, and risks alienating teammates by making camp about his money instead of winning. The conversation pivots to reports that LeBron James is nearing a "Last Dance" style documentary deal with ESPN, with Anthony Lima and Reisland debating whether a nine-plus-year victory lap after Jordan's series can recapture that same magic, or whether audiences are simply fatigued. They land on it depending heavily on how LeBron's stint in Philadelphia actually goes.

Jenn talks about how everyone in the house can apparently go straight to sleep... except her. 

The guys covered a lot of ground in the second hour, opening with another Tigers question, somewhat surrounding Tarik Skubal about whether Max Clark's call-up is a distraction or a solution. Then, they reacted to Deion Sanders showing up to Browns training camp to work out Shedeur and the news of FIFA selling out to private equity.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    My guest this week is Garrett Sutton who is an entrepreneur and author. He is the co-author of Sports Heaven, The Birth of ESPN. While ESPN is now one of the most influential media brands in the world, its beginning was anything but certain. It had an idea that many people doubted a business model that had never been proven and a future that very few people could actually see. What makes this story so relevant today isn't sports. It's what it teaches us about entrepreneurship, innovation, conviction, and recognizing opportunities before the rest of the market catches up.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders looking to recognize opportunities, navigate uncertainty, and build conviction before everyone else sees the vision.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…many of today's biggest success stories seem obvious in hindsight, but they rarely feel that way in the moment. Garrett shares the entrepreneurial lessons behind ESPN's unlikely rise, from spotting an unmet need to making bold decisions when few others believed the idea would work. Through the story of founder Bill Rasmussen, he explores how vision, timing, partnerships, and persistence come together to turn an unconventional idea into an industry-defining business.    KEY TAKEAWAYS: Great opportunities often look impossible before they look inevitable. Timing can be just as important as having the right idea. Strong partnerships can accelerate growth beyond what entrepreneurs can accomplish alone. Vision requires the confidence to move forward despite skepticism.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…this story isn't really about ESPN. It's about having the courage to believe in an opportunity before anyone else can see it. That's a lesson every entrepreneur can apply.   Running Time: 25:54   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Garrett Online: LinkedIn   Garrett's Book:  Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN

What if the habits our culture calls "normal" are actually the reason so many of us feel exhausted, inflamed, and worn down? In this episode, a Christian RN and holistic health coach takes an honest look at the everyday patterns many women accept without question — skipping workouts, relying on convenience food, running on caffeine, and quietly burning out while serving everyone but themselves. Most of us never chose these habits on purpose. We just absorbed them from everyone around us. This episode is an invitation to look at that inheritance honestly, and decide if it's actually serving you. Why Fitness Isn't About Weight Loss — It's About Longevity The episode opens with a challenge to a common assumption: that working out is mainly for weight loss. Instead, the case is made that consistent movement is one of the strongest predictors of a longer, healthier life — regardless of the number on the scale. Using the body's natural adaptability as an example (from breast milk production to muscle growth), the point is simple: your body responds to what you ask of it. Stop asking it to be strong, and it won't be. The Hidden Cost of "Convenient" Living From packaged snacks to daily takeout, convenience food has quietly become the American default. Drawing from her own nursing career and personal health journey, the host shares how she shifted from being "the queen of convenience" to intentionally packing whole-food meals, even while working a demanding hospice nursing job. This section reframes convenience eating not as a harmless habit, but as a slow, cumulative drain on the body — one that autoimmune and chronic illness often trace back to. Putting Yourself Last: A Pattern Worth Examining One of the more personal moments in the episode addresses a habit common among busy, driven women: skipping meals, ignoring hunger cues, and pushing through exhaustion to prove worth or productivity. The host names this pattern honestly, including her own past struggle with it, and connects it to a deeper root: pride and performance, rather than genuine calling. Suppressing Emotions in Christian Culture This section addresses something rarely said aloud in faith circles: the pressure to appear "fine" even when life is genuinely hard. Drawing a parallel to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the host makes the case that honesty with God — including sadness, dread, and grief — is not a lack of faith. It's an invitation to be fully known. When "Keep Serving" Becomes Harmful The episode closes its teaching portion with a hard truth for Christian women: serving others while drowning yourself is not sustainable, and it's not necessarily what God is asking of you. Using Jesus' own ministry pattern — specific people, specific places, intentional rest — the host challenges the belief that faithfulness means saying yes to everyone, all the time. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — The core question of the episode: is "normal" culture making us sick? 01:26 — Why fitness (not weight loss) is tied to longevity 02:22 — The body's adaptability, explained through breastfeeding and strength training 04:19 — Why aches, fatigue, and constant caffeine use aren't actually "normal" 05:44 — A look inside a real workday as a hospice nurse, and why she packs her own lunch 10:32 — Naming the pattern of self-neglect that leads to bitterness and blame 12:53 — Suppressing true feelings in Christian culture, and the example of Jesus in Gethsemane 16:40 — Why people often need to be heard more than they need scripture quoted at them 17:08 — The "keep serving while you're drowning" mindset in church culture 21:03 — A sobering look at U.S. health outcomes and what "normal" is actually producing 23:28 — The two lies that keep people stuck: "it won't matter" and "I can't change" 24:25 — An invitation to identify one specific area God may be nudging you to address Key Takeaways The habits our culture treats as "normal" — skipping movement, relying on convenience food, running on stimulants, neglecting rest — carry a real, cumulative cost to long-term health. Self-neglect often isn't circumstantial; it can be a learned pattern rooted in pride, performance, or fear of being seen as needy. Emotional honesty with God is not a lack of faith. Naming pain doesn't cancel out gratitude or trust. Serving others faithfully doesn't require abandoning your own needs — even Jesus rested, withdrew, and ministered to specific people rather than everyone. Change doesn't require a total overhaul. One honest, specific step matters, and it's worth taking seriously. This episode isn't meant to diagnose or prescribe — it's meant to help you pause and honestly evaluate whether the "normal" you've accepted is actually serving your health, or slowly working against it. Ready to Understand What's Really Driving Your Exhaustion? If this episode hit close to home, don't just let the conviction pass by without action. The More Energy Masterclass was built for exactly this moment — for the woman who is done waiting and ready to actually understand what's going on in her body and her life. In this live training, you'll: Begin to see what may be driving your exhaustion — through a whole-person, faith-centered lens See your health from a perspective conventional medicine never offered you Walk away knowing your most important first steps — specific to your body, your story, and your life Feel inspired, hopeful, and challenged to move forward in a way that finally makes sense Live: Wednesday, August 20th | 7–10 PM Eastern

What happens when one generation holds much of the country's housing wealth and has little reason to give it up? Chuck Marohn talks with Strong Towns board chair Andrew Burleson and historic property renovator Richard Rumrill about boomers buying bigger homes, even as younger families wait for those houses to come back onto the market. The generational frustration is easy to understand, but the expected handoff assumes older homeowners will be ready to leave. What happens when the people expected to move have nowhere they want to go, and everyone behind them is still waiting? ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES "Boomers Were Supposed to Downsize.

In today's episode, I break down what I believe are the two biggest traits separating our most successful clients from everyone else, traits I see over and over when I look at seven and eight figure founders. I also share how I use deadlines and urgency in my own business, even when it means things don't go exactly as planned. If you feel like you're doing everything right but still stuck, this one's for you.

Most nonfiction books on leadership and business are saying roughly the same thing — which means what sets yours apart has less to do with your idea and more to do with how you structure it and guide the reader through it. In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, Zach Kristensen closes out the month's series with the biggest takeaways from Juxtabook Press author Frank Rowe (The Leadership Stroke) and thought leadership strategist Peter Winick (The Thought Leadership Handbook).It starts with your why. Once you know why you're writing, you start to see what only you can bring — the stories, the expertise, the angle nobody else has lived. Everything after that is craft, focus, and testing.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your "why" is the fastest route to finding what only you can writeThe audience decision that unlocked Frank Rowe's book — and why narrowing his reader made the whole thing flow fasterWhy writing a book is a brand-new skill set, and what 40 years of rowing teaches about incremental gainsThe 1–2% precision that separates a finished manuscript from a book readers rememberPeter Winick's case for picking one delivery method — speaker, coach, or consultant — before trying to do all threeWhy it's cheap to test your idea early and expensive to test it lateBooks mentioned: The Leadership Stroke by Frank Rowe — https://amzn.to/4fxxiCzThe Handbook of Thought Leadership by Peter Winick — https://amzn.to/4b8hXa8 Learn more about Your Path to Book Publishing by visiting Juxtabook.com  and discover if traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid publishing is right for you. Liked this episode?
