A few patterns keep showing up in conversations with leaders and business owners: 1- The list everyone's avoiding A lot of people updated their holiday card list… …and realized there are a lot of people they haven't spoken to in months (or years). Action: -Make a master list of everyone you haven't connected with in the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 months — Pick up the phone and call them in January. 2- Planning is happening. Execution is pausing. January is already here. Waiting for the "right time" to ask for meetings or business slows momentum. Plan — yes. But leadership shows up in execution. 3- Social media is a multiplier, not a nice-to-have Your clients are on these platforms. If you're posting occasionally, generically, or waiting to be perfect — you're being forgotten. Be consistent. Be visible. Be you. Comment. Engage. Share perspective. Top of mind wins. 4- Don't run from AI — run toward it You don't need hours a day. Start with 1–5 minutes daily learning how to use it to think, write, and lead better.
Food is not content. It's memory. It's identity. It's standards. Leigh Wilson, Marketing Director of Creative Loafing in Tampa Bay, grew up in a small Cajun bayou town in South Louisiana where everything happened in the kitchen. The family hunted. They grew their own food. Decisions were made at the table. When you grow up ten minutes from the water, you understand that food is not a trend. It's survival. It's culture. It's truth. Now she helps shape how an entire region talks about restaurants, chefs, and hospitality. What gets covered. What gets promoted. What earns attention. In studio, Chef Michael Collantes, one Michelin star, brings a different level of accountability. Precision. Discipline. Standards that don't bend. When you cook at that level, hype doesn't matter. Execution does. This conversation pulls back the curtain on: • Cajun roots and kitchen culture • The responsibility of food media • The difference between hype and honesty • The turnover and volatility inside hospitality • What Tampa Bay is getting right • What needs to be better It also marks the beginning of a deeper collaboration between Creative Loafing and Walk-In Talk Media, aligning editorial reach with documentary-driven storytelling to elevate the people who truly move the industry forward. This isn't about influencers. It's about standards. It's about substance. Welcome to the conversation.

What if the thing holding you back isn't effort, talent, or discipline, but what's happening inside your mind and body? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with high-performance coach and author Brandon Epstein to unpack the hidden inner work behind elite performance. Brandon shares his journey from riding the bench as a college football player to mastering meditation, breathwork, and mental training that transformed his results and his life.

In this episode, Scott Becker emphasizes that success comes from focusing on a few clear priorities, executing relentlessly, and clearly defining your ideal customer profile rather than chasing too many competing strategies.
Execution doesn't define leadership. Pivoting does. In this powerful episode, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down why elite CEOs aren't measured by how well they follow a plan — but by how precisely they adjust when the plan disappears. In today's AI-driven, high-volatility market, speed matters. But what most companies are losing isn't talent — it's leadership velocity. The culprit? Decision Drag. When teams wait for the CEO to approve, rescue, or emotionally stabilize the room, growth slows. Revenue stalls. Energy leaks. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Is leadership measured by execution — or by your ability to pivot under pressure? How much "Decision Drag" is silently costing your company each year? If you disappeared for 30 days, would your organization hold — or stall? How do elite CEOs pivot without leaking panic into the system? Where are you "five inches off" that's compounding into future failure? Lisa introduces the BOSS Architecture — a practical framework for emotional regulation, energy optimization, strategic mindset, and self-leadership that removes you as the bottleneck. Because if your company's speed depends on your presence, you haven't built a system. You've built a cage. This episode is essential listening for CEOs, founders, and executive leaders who are ready to stop being the "Chief Everything Officer" and start being the Architect.
In this first live Q&A of our Lent 2025 series Jesus in Galilee, Dom and I work through 35 questions from the more than 2,000 people who have joined the class — and true to form, Dom tries to honor every single one of them. The conversation ranges from the silver cups of Boscoreale to the Gulf of Mexico, from Josephus's gritted-teeth defense of Judaism to what a State of the Union address might look like if Jesus gave it tonight. Dom argues that the apocalyptic imagination is, bluntly, a loss of faith; that coinage was the only real mass media of antiquity; that nonviolent resistance was invented — not borrowed — in first-century Judea; and that if you want to understand what an autocrat is planning, read very carefully what the autocrat accuses his opponents of. It is, in other words, exactly the kind of conversation I look forward to all year.

You can WATCH the conversation YouTube ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? This Lenten class begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here.

Uncertainty is the norm. Execution is the edge. In this special episode, four of our Sales Excellence experts from across Europe unpack what 300 European sales leaders really think about 2026. What you will hear: • Why 69% missed target and why that's not the real story. • Why optimism isn't the point. Execution is. • How decision cycles are getting 2.3x longer (and what that means for you). • Why sales leadership is now the ultimate competitive advantage. • Where companies are really investing: market share, value selling. This is not about forecasts. It's about impact. If 2026 is unpredictable, the question is not “What will happen?” It's: “How prepared is your crew?” The data is European. The execution is local.

In this "update cast," Steven gets raw about the balancing act of being a neurodivergent entrepreneur. While his business life is currently a "Wild West" of excitement—leveraging AI to slash project costs and build apps over a weekend—his personal health is hitting a daily 3 PM hurdle. Steven discusses the tension between hyper-focusing on a once-in-a-generation tech gold rush and the "health angel" on his shoulder demanding a reset.TakeawaysThe 3 PM Carb Wall: Even with a "perfect" routine 90% of the time, neurodivergent brains often hit a mid-afternoon energy slump that triggers intense cravings. A one-week "circuit breaker" reset is often the only way to kill the cycle.AI as the "Execution" Bridge: Dyslexics often have endless ideas but struggle with the linear work of building them. AI tools like Claude are closing that gap, allowing ideas to be coded into reality in a single weekend.The 4x Efficiency Gain: By leveraging AI, project costs can be slashed (e.g., from $120k to $30k), making previously "impossible" ideas commercially viable for the first time.The Success Trinity: A healthy business needs three roles: The Creator (Vision), The Operator (Execution/Finance), and The Deal Maker (Sales). Most entrepreneurs lack one; identifying your gap is the first step to growth.Hyper-focus vs. Health: We are in an "AI Wild West." It's a high-stakes season to "make hay while the sun shines," but it requires a constant tug-of-war with the "health angel" on your shoulder.Progress, Not Perfection: Moving from "beating yourself up" to "observing your patterns" is the ultimate win.

This Sunday, we step into one of the most intense chapters in the book of Acts.James is executed.Peter is imprisoned.Herod exalts himself like a god.And yet — Jesus is not threatened. He is reigning.Acts 12 smells like the battlefield. But what we discover is this: when you stand against Jesus, you lose — and when you belong to Jesus, you triumph, even through suffering.This chapter reminds us of two massive truths:• Nothing can stop Jesus' kingdom from advancing.• Gospel advancement doesn't come without significant cost.We will see both warning and hope. Judgment and rescue. Execution and deliverance. And above it all — a triumphant King.If you are exploring Christianity, or know those who are, this text lovingly but clearly presses a question onto your heart: What will you do with King Jesus?And for those who belong to Christ, this passage steadies us in a world that is increasingly uncomfortable with bold faith.⸻

On Christmas Eve 2015, 71-year-old Schertz businessman Henry Manuel Gutierrez, Jr. was found shot multiple times inside his home along FM 3009, near the yard of his company, Bexar Waste. His son discovered him seated in a recliner, partially covered by a blanket, in what investigators described as an execution-style killing.Henry was in the midst of negotiating the multimillion-dollar sale of Bexar Waste to Republic Services at the time of his death. His estate was valued at approximately $14.6 million. An active civil lawsuit alleging a handshake agreement over future sale proceeds added financial tension to an already complex landscape.The home appeared rummaged through. Missing items included cash, his wallet, several Christmas gift cards, a distinctive sterling silver ring, and his white Ford Expedition, later recovered in San Marcos without usable forensic evidence. Some of the stolen gift cards surfaced in Houston days later.Investigators collected shell casings, an unknown fingerprint, and DNA, but no public forensic link has tied any suspect to the crime. Questions arose about the early handling of the scene and the delayed involvement of the Texas Rangers.Over the years, police interviewed roughly 100 individuals connected to Henry's business and personal life. Persons of interest have been identified but not publicly named.In 2022, the case was officially designated a cold case. In 2024, authorities announced a new person of interest developed through renewed investigation efforts. As of the tenth anniversary in 2025, no arrests have been made, and a reward remains active.If you have any information about the murder of Henry Manuel Gutierrez Jr., please call the Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers at (877) 403-8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In this powerful annual kickoff episode of 365 Driven, host Tony Whatley lays out a timeless blueprint for winning in 2026 - without hype, trends, or predictions. This isn't about chasing what's new. It's about mastering what works. After decades of entrepreneurship, investing, podcasting, and building multiple businesses, Tony shares the repeatable behaviors he's seen create success year after year—regardless of the economy, technology shifts, or industry changes. Built around 8 foundational principles, this episode challenges listeners to simplify their focus and raise their standards. From the power of consistency over intensity, to building in public before you feel ready, to diversifying income without becoming scattered—Tony breaks down what actually moves the needle. He shares personal stories of flat growth seasons, expensive financial lessons, delegating to scale, and why understanding your numbers is a competitive advantage. You'll also hear why personal discipline bleeds into business performance, how relationships quietly compound over decades, and why fundamentals always outperform flashy tactics. This episode isn't about doing more. It's about doing less, doing it better, and longer. If you're serious about creating financial freedom, operational independence, and a reputation that opens doors, this is your roadmap. Winning doesn't change year to year. Execution does. And if you apply these principles consistently, 2026 won't just be another year—it'll be undeniable.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. I'm thrilled to welcome you back to a series I did with my dear friend, Roger Martin. He's the author of the amazing book, Playing to Win. In this episode, we dissect the difference between strategy and planning. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders who want to sharpen their thinking and make better strategic choices. If you're responsible for direction, decisions, or results, this conversation will challenge how you think about strategy. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…in this episode, Roger makes the case that real strategy is about making choices and accepting the trade-offs that come with them. He explains why too many organizations avoid hard decisions, how that avoidance weakens execution, and what it actually takes to build a coherent, winning strategy. Key Takeaways: Strategy requires making clear, deliberate choices about where to play and how to win. Avoiding trade-offs leads to diluted focus and mediocre results. A strong strategy aligns resources, decisions, and behaviors around a single direction. Leaders must be willing to say no in order to build something truly differentiated. Execution improves dramatically when strategic choices are clearly understood. WHAT I LOVE MOST…Roger's insistence that strategy isn't complicated but it's uncomfortable. The real challenge isn't intelligence or frameworks; it's the willingness to commit to choices and live with the consequences. That reframes leadership in such a practical, grounded way.

Glen brings back Joe Evangelliti to share his “5 Bottlenecks” framework—a universal set of constraints that keep entrepreneurs (especially real estate investors) stuck. The 5 bottlenecks framework 1) Mindset / limiting beliefs You don't get what you “conceive”—you get what you believe you can achieve. “Rational lies” = the stories we tell ourselves to avoid action (not smart enough, not ready, what will people think, etc.). Fastest unlock question: “What do I want?” (not what spouse/parents/friends want). 2) Clarity + reverse engineering (Point B → Point A) People plan vacations with precision but plan their lives in vague “wish” language. Define Point B clearly, assess Point A honestly, then close the gap. 3) Toolkit audit (simplify your tools/systems) Too much tech can create complexity and distraction. Quote-worthy idea: if you can't do it with notepad + pen + phone, software won't save you. Build consistent deal flow first; avoid shiny-object “easy button” chasing. 4) Rule of 168 (time control) Everyone has 168 hours/week—top performers just allocate it differently. Focus on: High-income activities (directly produce revenue now) High-gain activities (life/relationships/health that matter long-term) Track what moves the needle (e.g., offers made). Many people feel busy but do zero needle-moving actions. Calendar discipline = presence. “Show me your calendar and I can almost tell you your net worth.” 5) The trifecta (the “bow”) Execution (do the work, ship the offer, take the shot) Course correction (pivot around obstacles instead of quitting or forcing a broken plan) Radical accountability (someone outside your inner circle who won't let you off the hook)

In 2019, the quiet island of Anglesey was shaken by a murder unlike anything in its recent history. Gerald Corrigan was killed in broad daylight — not with a knife, not with a gun — but with a crossbow. A weapon that felt less modern Britain and more medieval execution. Anglesey is known for its sweeping coastline and tight-knit communities, not savage violence. Yet what unfolded that year would stun locals and leave investigators confronting a crime both brutal and baffling. In this episode of Seeing Red, we examine the events that led to Gerald Corrigan's death, the investigation that followed, and the disturbing questions at the heart of this case. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Prefabrication has moved beyond proof of concept. In this kickoff episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt explores what it really means to enter the execution era of prefab. The debate is no longer about whether prefabrication or modular construction works. It's about scale, repeatability, and partnership. From data centers driving massive MEP prefabrication growth to owners rethinking procurement and risk models, the industry is shifting from experimentation to operational maturity. In this episode, we unpack: Why data centers are accelerating prefab adoption How scale changes the economics of modular construction What true construction partnership actually looks like Why culture and contracts may be the next barriers to innovation If you care about prefabrication, offsite construction, BIM-to-fabrication workflows, or the future of construction innovation, this conversation sets the tone for what comes next. The execution era has begun. MEET OUR GUEST Amy Marks is a leading voice in prefabrication and industrialized construction, with more than a decade of experience advancing offsite construction, modular strategies, and large-scale MEP prefabrication. She has played a significant role in helping owners, contractors, and manufacturers move beyond transactional project delivery and toward scalable, repeatable partnership models. Her work has been especially influential in mission-critical sectors such as data centers, where standardization and scale are reshaping how projects are delivered. Amy focuses not only on components and assemblies, but also on the culture, procurement models, contracts, and executive alignment required to make prefabrication successful at scale. Todd Takes Prefabrication Has Entered the Execution Era For years, the industry focused on proving that prefabrication works. That debate is over. Prefab works. Modular construction works. Offsite strategies work. The real question now is whether we can execute consistently and at scale. Can we repeat results across projects? Can we move from isolated success stories to operational maturity? The future of prefabrication is no longer about experimentation. It is about discipline, ecosystem alignment, and getting better with every project. Prefab is no longer experimental. It is professional. Partnership Is a Business Model, Not a Buzzword The construction industry talks about partnership often, especially in prefabrication and modular construction. But there is a difference between transactional vendors and true partners. If five companies are bidding every project, that is procurement. It is not partnership. Real partnership involves shared risk, shared reward, executive-level communication, transparency when challenges arise, and a long-term commitment to scale together. In data center construction and other high-volume sectors, partnership is becoming structural, not optional. When both sides are fully invested, prefabrication scales. Scale Changes Everything Scale is the unlock for industrialized construction. When companies move beyond living project to project, they gain the breathing room to invest in systems, standardization, workforce development, and repeatable prefab workflows. Data centers are currently driving that scale, especially across MEP prefabrication and modular assemblies. The lessons being learned in data center construction today will influence healthcare, semiconductor, commercial, and even housing in the years ahead. Scale creates maturity. Maturity creates repeatability. Repeatability drives the future of prefabrication. More Resources Thanks for listening!

What hard conversation are you avoiding right now?In this solo episode of Leadership Blueprints, BJ reflects on Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, and even the Winter Olympics to unpack one central leadership tension: compassion and accountability must coexist. Real leadership is not choosing between love and standards - it is holding both.Through presidential vignettes, youth sports culture, and lessons from business and family life, BJ introduces a practical three-part framework for developing leaders: Compassion, Clarity, and Courage. This episode challenges listeners to examine whether they are truly leading with compassion - or simply avoiding discomfort.Thanks for listening in!Key Points From This Episode:• Why growth - for you and your team - is determined by the number of uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have.• The difference between compassion and comfort, and why lowering the standard helps no one.• Lessons from presidential leadership such as Lincoln's empathy paired with accountability, Washington's self-discipline and moral restraint, and Roosevelt's belief that high standards are a form of respect. • The three-part leadership blueprint: compassion, clarity, and courage• What Norway's youth sports philosophy and Olympic success reveal about balancing joy and standards in development.Quotes:“Love without accountability is a leadership weakness.” — BJ Kraemer“Accountability begins with self-discipline and self-governance.” — BJ Kraemer“I think when you have high-love, high-expectation leadership, performance will increase. The mission will get accomplished. The culture will be improved.” — BJ Kraemer Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:The Dichotomy of LeadershipLincoln on Leadership The Art of ManlinessDo Hard ThingsLeadership Blueprints PodcastLeadership Blueprints Podcast on YouTubeMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn
