If you've ever found yourself giving away your expertise for free this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why you need to stop "helping" people without charging, especially if you're in a service-based or intellectual property business. A lot of us do it out of kindness or because we know the person could really benefit, but that's not a good enough reason to keep doing it. Whether it's a friend, family member, or someone who just “can't pay right now,” I'll tell you why that habit has to end today. So let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:59]#1 People do not appreciate what they have not invested in.  [17:13]#2 You are devaluing your help and devaluing yourself when you give people help for free.  [28:07]#3 Professional level help demands professional level investments.

This is part three of my series on High Income Skills vs High Income Systems. Today, I break down points 7 through 9. Skills take discipline, you've got to show up and keep doing the work. But systems? They take vision. A good system can make you money even when you're not working. Skills get clients; systems keep them. Skills give you an edge, but systems turn that edge into an asset that pays you whether you're active or not. So let's get into it. Show Notes:  [00:58]#7 Skills require discipline. Systems require vision.   [14:10]#8 Skills attract clients. Systems keep them around.  [21:49]#9 Skills create an edge and systems create assets.  [24:33]Recap Power Presence Protocol

HT2350 - Execution and Content When I look at artwork, it often involves two different types of response. I can admire a work of art because of its amazing execution, or I may admire a work of art for its emotive content. Execution involves a wonderment about how the artist did it. Content involves a dialog about why they did it. I've learned that I can't process both of these ways of thinking simultaneously.

This is part two of my three-part series on High Income Skills vs. High Income Systems.In this episode, I break down how skills are like the engine but systems are the whole vehicle. Skills will get you paid, but systems are what build real wealth and freedom. Most entrepreneurs stay stuck doing all the work because they never build systems and that's why they never level up. Show Notes:  [01:01]#4 Skills are the engine. Systems are the vehicle. [08:17]#5 Skills get you started and systems generate wealth.

In this episode, I break down the difference between high income skills and high income systems. A lot of people build their business off of personal skill—something they can do and sell—but that's just one level. This is part one of a three-part series where I'll explain how skills and systems each play a role in your success, whether you're a solopreneur, a seasoned entrepreneur, or somewhere in between. You'll start to see where you currently operate and how you can grow from one space to the next. So let's get into it. Show Notes:  [03:23]#1 A skill pays one execution at a time or every time that the skill is delivered. [14:06]#2 Skills create value, systems create scale.  [22:36]#3 Skills are for performance.  [30:25]Recap Power Presence Protocol

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey dive into The Four Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling — joined by Chris McChesney himself to share insights firsthand. Together, they break down how the book's core ideas of focusing on what really matters, tracking the right actions, using simple scoreboards, and sticking to regular check-ins can make a huge difference not just in business, but in everyday life, family routines, and even sports.Stephen and Britain point out something a lot of us feel: execution often falls apart because of human nature. But instead of just blaming ourselves, the fix is setting up systems that keep us on track. They share real, relatable examples, like how a sales team stayed motivated with a basic scoreboard or how NFL teams zoom in on just a few key plays to win big games.One big idea they keep coming back to is this: sometimes what seems like a “people problem” is actually a “system problem.” Britain talks about his time in the NFL and how practicing under pressure helped him stay cool when it really counted. Stephen shares how a weekly review habit helps him stay focused on what matters most.The episode is packed with practical takeaways, but one stands out. Choose just one area in your life that feels a bit out of control, give it some focused attention like it's in the ICU, and apply these simple, proven disciplines to start seeing real results.What We Discuss[00:17] Introduction[01:13] Overview of the four disciplines[03:34] Origins of the book & methodology[05:24] Is execution a people or systems problem?[11:30] Rifle vs. shotgun: The power of focus[12:17] Intensive care metaphor for prioritization[15:35] The power of a scoreboard[19:13] Accountability & weekly commitments[21:18] Ownership and buy-in[23:08] Sports example: Accountability from top players[24:20] Summary & key paradigm shiftsNotable Quotes[00:04:24] “We were trying to solve the problem, not write a book” — Chris McChesney[00:08:48] “I really genuinely  feel like practicing helped me control and relax my body when I came to high-pressure situations in other sports.” — Britain Covey[00:10:54] “If I have my weekly review and do that habit, I'm much more likely to focus on my biggest priorities for that week because I block it out in advance.” — Stephen Covey[00:11:30] “What the Four Disciplines of Execution is, is it's a rifle, not a shotgun.” — Chris McChesney[00:15:35] “People play very differently when they're keeping score.” — Chris McChesneyResourcesParadigm Shifting BooksPodcastInstagram YouTube BooksThe 4 Disciplines of ExecutionAtomic Habits by James ClearGetting Things Done by David AllenBritain CoveyLinkedIn InstagramStephen H.

Most wholesalers focus on finding deals — but overlook what it really takes to sell them. Will and Veronica Pritchett retired at 43 on rental income, and now buy most of their properties from wholesalers. They're giving you a rare look inside a buyer's mind—what makes them jump on a deal instantly, what makes them walk away, and why trust, timing, and relationships often matter more than flashy marketing. If you want to close more deals, keep your best buyers, and build a reputation that lasts, this is a perspective you can't afford to miss. Key Quotes:“Mass email blasts are just noise. Call me with the deal you know I'll love.”“We don't care if you make $5,000 or $50,000—if the deal works, we all win.”“The best wholesalers know our buy box, and they don't waste our time.”“Your reputation travels fast in this business. Think about the long game.”“Trust and relationships will get you repeat buyers every single time.” Mentioned in this episode:Carrot CRM — https://carrot.com/crmCarrot Summit — https://carrot.com/summitThe 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney — https://www.franklincovey.com/the-4-disciplinesLifeonaire by Steve Cook & Shaun McCloskey — https://lifeonaire.comGeorge Antone's The Wealthy Code — https://georgeantone.com ***Join us live, Thursdays at 11 AM Pacific for the Evergreen Marketing Live Q&A: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity/***Need to grow as a leader?

Qian Li of DBOS, a durable execution platform born from research by the creators of Postgres and Spark, speaks with host Kanchan Shringi about building durable, observable, and scalable software systems, and why that matters for modern applications. They discuss database-backed program state, workflow orchestration, real-world AI use cases, and comparisons with other workflow technologies. Li explains how DBOS persists not just application data but also program execution state in Postgres to enable automatic recovery and exactly-once execution. She outlines how DBOS uses workflow and step annotations to build deterministic, fault-tolerant flows for everything from e-commerce checkouts to LLM-powered agents. Observability features, including SQL-accessible state tables and a time-travel debugger, allow developers and business users to understand and troubleshoot system behavior. Finally, she compares DBOS with tools like Temporal and AWS Step Functions. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

Presidents have used executive orders to direct the executive branch since the founding, but over the years the modern Presidency has drastically expanded its use of executive orders. Executive Orders have always been an important means of moving the Executive Branch into alignment with the President’s interpretation of the law consistent with his duty of faithful execution and a primary way President’s exercise their executive discretion under law. Yet all power is subject to expansion and abuse. In January 2014, for example, then-President Obama announced his “pen and phone” strategy: “I’ve got a pen to take executive actions where Congress won’t, and I’ve got a telephone to rally folks around the country on this mission.”Subsequent administrations have similarly relied on presidential authority to govern by way of Executive Orders, leading to significant litigation challenging the breadth of such authority. This panel will examine the use of executive orders and the “pen and phone” strategy throughout our nation’s history, especially from a separation of powers perspective. This broad power is not expressly identified in either the Constitution or statute, but it has long been accepted as inherent to presidential power over the federal government, federal agencies, foreign affairs, and our military. This panel will discuss the impact of executive orders, what precedent they set for future administrations in the robust exercise of executive authority, and how the “unitary executive” theory plays into that analysis.This webinar will be the first of four webinars previewing the Thirteenth Annual Executive Branch Review Conference on the topic of Theories of Presidential Power.Featuring: John G.

A lot of smart people listen to this show and that includes you. But here's the thing I've noticed: smart people are often the slowest to take action. Today, I break down why intelligence doesn't always lead to execution and why overthinking, perfectionism, or too much analysis can actually keep you stuck. If you've ever wondered why you know so much but still don't move, this episode is for you. So let's get into it and solve that problem. Show Notes:  [02:30]#1 When you're smart, that means you know a lot of stuff. And knowledge sometimes disempowers you just as much as it empowers you.  [08:35]#2 The key to wisdom exists on a higher plane and knowledge is understanding and knowing which knowledge to use and which knowledge to ignore at certain times, in certain contexts and why you are doing so.

Today I'm breaking down why context is everything when it comes to communication. I've talked a lot about the importance of being able to communicate whether you're talking one-on-one, speaking to a group, or writing something down. But the key part most people miss is context. You can say the right thing, but if the timing, tone, or situation is off, it won't land. I explain exactly what context means, why it's just as important as the message itself, and how mastering it changes how people receive what you say. Show Notes:  [02:53]#1 The exact same material presented in a different context lands very differently with the exact same person or the exact same audience.  [10:43]#2 If your message is not landing and you are 100% sure that your message is good and useful, then the problem is not the material.  [15:48]#3 Context equals packaging.  [19:04]Recap Power Presence Protocol

BONUS: Elliott Parker on Breaking The Illusion of Innovation and Why Large Organizations Struggle to Innovate In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the paradox of modern corporate innovation with Elliott Parker, CEO of Alloy Partners. Elliott shares his insights on why well-managed organizations often struggle with innovation, the critical difference between execution and learning challenges, and how venture studios can bridge the gap between corporate resources and startup agility. In this episode, we explore Elliott's book The Illusion of Innovation.  The Golden Gate Bridge Paradox "It took 7 years to add a safety net to a bridge that took 3 years to build." Elliott opens with a striking example that illustrates the central thesis of his work. Large organizations today are paradoxically less capable of handling opportunities and challenges despite being better managed than ever before. The irony lies in their very efficiency—modern corporations have become so optimized for capital efficiency and short-term profits that they've inadvertently sacrificed their capacity for future innovation. This focus on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) creates organizations that excel at managing existing assets but struggle with the uncertainty required for breakthrough innovation. The Corporate Innovation Anti-Pattern "The more the innovation team borrows from the business, the more the innovation team starts to look like the original organization." Elliott reflects on a belief he once held and now completely disagrees with—that corporate innovation teams could successfully drive disruptive innovation from within. Having worked in corporate innovation focused on IP licensing and later in venture capital, he discovered that these internal teams, while excellent at expanding existing business models, inevitably become constrained by the very organization they're meant to transform. The solution he advocates is funding startups outside larger organizations, where there's nothing to preserve or perpetuate, allowing for true disruptive thinking. In this segment, we talk about Clayton Christensen's Disruption Theory which he explored in the now famous book: The Innovator's Dilemma. Execution vs. Learning Challenges "Moving slow is a feature of corporations, not a bug." One of Elliott's key frameworks distinguishes between execution challenges and learning challenges. Corporations are brilliantly designed for execution—when the problem and solution are known, they excel. However, learning problems, where the problem is clear but the solution unknown, require a fundamentally different approach. Elliott suggests marrying the best of both worlds: leveraging the funding and market research capabilities of large organizations with the disruptive ideas and solution-seeking agility of startups. He provocatively suggests treating communication around innovation as something to be avoided until solutions are proven, advocating for working in silos until innovation actually works. The Controlled Burn Philosophy "The only way to get data about the future is to collect data by running experiments." Elliott introduces the concept of "controlled burn" using forest fire management as a metaphor for corporate innovation. Just as western US forests have become dangerously dense from aggressive fire suppression, corporations have become fragile by avoiding all risk and experimentation. We can't predict the future, and there's no existing data about what's coming—the only way to generate future insights is through deliberate experimentation. However, managers are typically incentivized to avoid experiments and minimize risk, creating the organizational equivalent of dense forests prone to devastating fires when disruption eventually arrives. Creating Safe-to-Fail Environments "In corporates we focus on frequency of correctness. In startups we focus on magnitude of correctness." After initially believing he could change organizations from within, Elliott learned that creating truly safe-to-fail environments within established companies is nearly impossible. This realization led him to focus on creating startups as the perfect vehicle for business model experimentation. The fundamental difference in mindset is crucial: corporations optimize for being right most of the time, while startups optimize for the size of their wins when they are right, embracing a venture capital-like approach to innovation where occasional big wins compensate for frequent small failures. Shifting from Wealth to Knowledge Generation "Civilizations fail because they don't innovate fast enough." Drawing on insights from David Deutsch's work on learning and innovation, Elliott argues that long-term resilience comes from learning, not just wealth generation. He advocates for shifting corporate conversations from immediate wealth generation to knowledge and learning, positioning companies as explorers of innovation and business models. This requires different funding mechanisms—moving away from operational budgets managed through traditional Excel-based metrics toward "patient capital" that can sustain the uncertainty inherent in true innovation. Traditional management approaches lack the passion needed for breakthrough innovation. In this segment, we refer to David Deutsch's book The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations that Transform The World. About Elliott Parker Elliott Parker is CEO of Alloy Partners, where he helps corporations and universities launch startups through a venture studio model. A former Innosight consultant and entrepreneur, he's passionate about bridging big companies with startup ecosystems to unlock real innovation and long-term growth in an increasingly distributed world.

nvestors keep score with growth rates, but this quarter you had to read the footnotes and the fine print. Microsoft put up eye-popping Azure growth again, but a big slice of that acceleration is AI inference — notably ChatGPT — now embedded in the revised Azure definition - great for headlines but not conducive to apples-to-apples comparisons. Meanwhile, AWS delivered the largest dollars and a very clear message that demand exceeds supply. Meaning growth is capped by power and components, not pipeline. That creates a weird optics penalty — AWS showing growth in the high teens growth on a $120B-plus run rate and it's a “concern.” But it also telegraphs future upside as capacity lands and depreciation cycles through.  The stealth story is Google. Google Cloud posted a strong print with solid top-line growth and steadily improving operating margin — and GCP (the IaaS/PaaS core) is growing materially faster than Cloud overall - our estimate is nearly 40%. Backlog is building at more than $250M and $1B+ deals are real. As the mix shifts toward AI-heavy, infrastructure-centric workloads, it becomes a tailwind for Google, continues to lag the scale of AWS and Azure. Let's call it a disciplined scale strategy with less noise.The other common thread is a capex arms race that faces real constraints. All three players said the quiet part out loud — power, sites, servers, power and lead times will dictate who wins AI inference and who monetizes it. Microsoft is capacity-constrained, AWS says “several quarters” to rebalance, and Google raised capex again. This is not a one-quarter story; it's a multi-year land-and-power grab that will determine margin structures for the next cycle. Meanwhile, the Big three cloud players are on a pace to spend about $240B this year on CAPEX with AI revenue coming in at about 10% of that figure. We clearly have a big hurdle before that massive investment pays back. 

In this episode, I'm talking about the most common copes of mediocre people. I got the idea from a viral post showing a flashy Black rapper and a plain-dressed white entertainer sitting front row at a game.

We don't execute on what we don't believe. Whether it's a sales process, a life change, or a new habit, our actions—or lack of them—are rooted in what we truly believe about ourselves and what's possible.  In this episode, we'll explore how belief shapes behavior and how shifting what you believe - can unlock the consistent execution you need for real transformation.

What does it take to transform a mission-driven organization into a high-velocity execution machine? Today, Peter Winick sits down with Suba Vasudevan, COO of Mozilla, to explore how thought leadership drives impact inside and outside the organization. Suba isn't just talking about brand elevation—she's focused on aligning thought leadership with Mozilla's double bottom line: financial success and a healthy internet. You'll hear how she uses thought leadership to drive strategic clarity, cultural alignment, and real-world execution across a global, mission-focused team. Suba unpacks how leaders can build trust, model transparency, and scale their thinking across a workforce by showing up authentically—whether that's in a Slack message or on a podcast. From AI adoption to KPIs, Suba makes it clear: thought leadership isn't optional for modern executives—it's core to leading transformation. She offers a candid look at how leaders should use their voice—not just for visibility, but as a catalyst for cultural change, employee productivity, and long-term innovation. Suba's message is simple and powerful: If you're not investing in thought leadership, you're holding your team back. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought Leadership Is a Leadership Imperative Suba emphasizes that thought leadership isn't optional—it's foundational to effective leadership in today's world. It's how leaders align teams, build trust, and scale their vision across an organization. She views it as table stakes for anyone serious about transformation. • Execution and Culture Must Be Intertwined Driving results at Mozilla means more than setting KPIs. Suba connects culture to execution, highlighting that metrics only matter when they're backed by employee belief, buy-in, and shared values. Thought leadership is her tool to bridge that gap. • AI Is a Culture Shift, Not Just a Tech Shift Suba doesn't just endorse using AI—she models it. By openly using tools like ChatGPT and encouraging her team to do the same, she's shaping a culture of innovation, experimentation, and productivity. Her approach shows how leadership can normalize and accelerate change from the top. If you found Suba Vasudevan's episode valuable—especially her take on aligning leadership, culture, and execution—then you won't want to miss our conversation with Harry Kraemer on Value-Based Thought Leadership. Like Suba, Harry emphasizes the power of authenticity, clarity, and consistency in leadership. He explores how values-driven decision-making builds trust, scales alignment, and creates long-term impact inside complex organizations. While Suba applies these principles to tech and innovation, Harry brings a timeless leadership lens from his experience as a CEO and professor at Kellogg.

He got his start working on farms and in tobacco warehouses before earning his PharmD from the University of South Carolina in 2012. After relocating to Fort Worth, Texas, he took on various roles in pharmacy before purchasing a community retail pharmacy in 2016.Business ownership brought both challenges and growth. By 2021, Brandon was on the verge of bankruptcy—but through perseverance, mentorship, and faith, he turned things around and made the business profitable again. Along the way, he realized his true passion lay elsewhere. In 2023, he sold the pharmacy and went all-in on Masterpiece Construction—a remodeling company committed to breaking industry stereotypes. The company quickly gained traction, generating over $1.1 million in revenue in its first full calendar year and continuing to grow.

This episode is sponsored by Tricor Metals and Webco Industries.   Corrosion Chronicles is produced by Association Briefings.

Today I'm talking about the easiest and hardest situations to win in. Life is a performance-based game, and as professionals, we're expected to show up and get the job done. But not every situation gives us the same odds of success. In this episode, I break it down into three main types of situations: some set you up to win easily, while others make it a lot harder. Once you understand how to spot them, you can adjust your approach and boost your chances of winning. Show Notes:  [01:20]#1 The impossible one is when you have no game, you can't win. [09:37]#2 Easiest way to win is when you're really good, but nobody knows who you are because there are no expectations.    [22:37]#3 The hardest way is when you're really good and everyone not only knows you, but they expect you to win.  [28:02]Recap Next Steps: Power Presence Protocol

However, when you find a clan where an infanticide trial is arguably the least worst thing to happen to them, it's safe to say you've found one very special household… the Mabbitt family.

(The House With The Unfortunate Past) *** Bartholomew Roberts, better known as the in famous pirate Black Bart, operated in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean from 1719 to 1722. He was easily the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, having been known to have captured over 400 ships in his day. But could it be true that he was actually forced to become a pirate against his will? (Was Black Bart Forced To Become a Pirate?) *** If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? Invisibility?

(The Man With The X-Ray Eyes)==========HOUR TWO: I'm pretty sure that unless you were born of a virgin, died, and then rose from the grave three days later, no one has had any real success at bringing people back from the underworld. But that's exactly what people who practice necromancy try to do – wake the dead. They can't be successful at it though, can they? (Raising The Dead) *** The people of Japan have a myth of a terrible snake-like creature with death-dealing powers called a Tsuchinoko. But unlike many legends, there have been modern sightings of this bizarre cryptid. Is it real? If so, what could it be?

Then, seventy years later he was proven innocent. (The Execution of an Innocent) ***They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime.

Sometime on the night of December 26th, 1898, Michael Murphy and his two younger sisters were slaughtered as they traveled back from Gatton in southeastern Australia. Their murders prompted a massive investigation—yet the crime remains unsolved to this day. (Australia's Unsolved Gatton Murders) *** A snowy November day, a bus full of students, and an icy lake.

Episode 378: Fredericton, New Brunswick, in the sultry summer of 1949, was a community caught between the relief of peacetime and the tensions of post-war hardship. Along the margins of this tidy city lived George Hamilton (25) and Rufus Hamilton (23), two young black brothers whose lives had been fraught with poverty, exclusion, and desperation. These would be factors in the horrific actions they took, which would soon propel them into local infamy as the last men ever executed in Fredericton. At the heart of this tragedy was Norman Burgoyne: a respected, 35-year-old taxi driver, decorated war veteran, and devoted family man whose sudden, violent death would shatter the sense of safety in the city.

Tune in to the Habit-Based Lifestyle Podcast, where host Jesse Ewell guides you on a journey to realign with the habits that unlock your full potential. In this episode, Jesse Ewell discusses the critical distinction between coachability and control in the context of personal and business growth. He emphasizes that many individuals hinder their progress by clinging to the belief that they know their business best, which can lead to decision-making paralysis and a lack of execution. Jesse outlines the importance of being open to coaching, taking responsibility for outcomes, and trusting the process to achieve desired results. He encourages listeners to reflect on where they may be choosing control over growth and to take actionable steps towards improvement.   Takeaways Hiring a coach is about gaining a new perspective. Clinging to control can hinder business growth. Decision-making paralysis is a common issue for high-performers. Execution is more important than constant tweaking. Real ownership means taking responsibility for results. Many business owners still act like employees. Trusting the process is essential for success. Doing something different is better than doing nothing. Recognizing when you're the bottleneck is crucial.

Today's question is simple but real: would you follow you? If you're trying to be a leader, this is something you've got to ask yourself. Based on how you show up, the energy you bring, and how you carry yourself are you someone you would trust to lead? In this episode, I give you some key questions to help you figure that out. Because if the answer isn't a clear “hell yes,” then you've got some work to do. Show Notes:  [01:40]#1 Do you trust that having you as a leader would lead to success?  [07:45]#2 Can other people rest assured that because you are the leader, you will solve all the problems and fill all the gaps. [15:44]#3 Are you willing to assume leadership in a situation that does not have clear solutions or easy answers yet it has a ton of problems?

Sometimes, you look around and nobody has any energy; nobody feels like showing up, practicing, or performing. I saw this a lot back when I played sports, and as the leader, I had to be the one to bring the energy anyway. In this episode, I talk about how to get yourself ready, mentally and physically, to show up strong even when nobody else does. Because no matter what team you're on, the group moves as the leader moves and that leader is you. Show Notes:  [02:18]#1 Power in leadership is ownership, responsibility, and accountability.  [17:16]#2 The essence of competition is you have to beat who's in front of you.  [21:41]#3 You are the support system for everybody else.
