Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome Rob Jones to the scuttlebutt. Rob is a retired Marine combat engineer who was wounded in an IED attack and lost both his legs. Rather than succumb to despair and depression, he asked, what's next? What was next was him winning a bronze medal in the 2012 Paralympics, riding his bike across America in 2013, and running 31 marathons in 31 consecutive days in 31 different cities in 2017, all of which raised nearly half a million dollars for veteran charities. He wrote his memoir, Put Your Legs On, released in 2025. Rob talks to us about his path to the yellow footprints, his experiences and motivations recovering from combat, and his current projects as a Leadership Instructor at Echelon Front focusing on extreme ownership. Enjoy! The post #260: Extreme Ownership with Rob Jones first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

Joe De Sena opens this Labor Day episode with a direct question: what does it actually look like to show up every day, year after year, with no days off?   Six-time Ironman World Champion Mark Allen, now 67, explains why consistency beats intensity at every age and how to stop competing with your younger self.   Olympic strength coach Dane Miller breaks down the ESSE framework for matching training to any goal and names the three lifts most athletes avoid because they are hard: front squat, pull-up, and snatch. Iron   Cowboy James Lawrence shares a pen-and-paper method for getting unstuck: write down everything in your head, cross out what you cannot control, and focus on what remains.   Navy SEAL Leif Babin explains why actual combat was harder than Hell Week and how extreme ownership turns failure into the foundation for resilience.   This episode delivers four direct perspectives on the same principle: daily work is the only strategy that compounds.   Things You Will Learn: Why consistency matters more than volume, speed, or intensity, especially after 40. The three resistance training movements that transfer to every sport and why most people avoid them. A pen-and-paper method for breaking through fear-based paralysis when you feel stuck. Tools & Frameworks Covered: ESSE Framework: Evaluate every training goal through four lenses: Endurance, Strength, Speed, Explosiveness. Adjust gym time based on which lens your sport or life demands most. Pen-and-Paper Reset: When stuck, write down every thought. Cross out what you cannot control. Focus only on what remains. Repeat daily. Accountability Anchor: Find one simple, daily accountability tool and use it to remove the decision of whether to train.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Chapters: 0:00 Intro - Joe De Sena on Labor Day and the people who do the work 1:55 Mark Allen - Consistency, accountability, and why it is the only variable that matters at 67 6:59 Dane Miller - The ESSE framework, cyclical fitness trends, and the three lifts that stand the test of time 13:43 James Lawrence - Entrepreneurship as Sisyphus, letting go of control, and the pen-and-paper method for getting unstuck 17:00 Leif Babin - Why combat was harder than Hell Week, extreme ownership, and hanging on a little longer 20:07 Closing - Barry Hearns on why the gift of labor is the gift of life   Mark Allen is a six-time Ironman World Champion and one of the most dominant endurance athletes in triathlon history. His 1989 battle with Dave Scott at Kona is considered the race that launched the modern era of Ironman. Now 67, Mark coaches triathletes and remains an active surfer, cyclist, and functional fitness practitioner in Santa Cruz, California.   Dane Miller is a master strength coach specializing in Olympic weightlifting and athletic performance. He has coached athletes to Olympic medals, world championships, and national titles across weightlifting, wrestling, and throwing events. He operates Garage Strength out of southeastern Pennsylvania and runs the Peak Strength training app.    James Lawrence, known as the Iron Cowboy, completed 50 Ironman-distance triathlons in 50 consecutive days across all 50 U.S. states, then followed it with 100 consecutive Ironmans during the Conquer 100 challenge. A bike crash on day 59 left him with multiple concussions and a cracked L5 vertebra. He spent three years in brain clinics rewiring neurological pathways before returning to competition. His latest book, Iron Hope, and the Emmy-nominated Conquer 100 documentary are both available now.    Leif Babin is a former Navy SEAL officer who led SEAL platoons in the Battle of Ramadi during some of the most intense urban combat of the Iraq War.

„In der Logistik bekommt man Einblicke in alle möglichen Branchen – sie ist die Königsklasse der kaufmännischen Berufe.“ In dieser Folge von Behind the C unterhält sich Franz Kubbillum mit Thomas Schledorn, dem Vorstandsvorsitzenden der Andreas Schmid Group. Das 1928 gegründete Traditionsunternehmen steuert mit 1.300 Mitarbeitenden und über 200 eigenen Fahrzeugen nationale und europäische Warenströme. Thomas veranschaulicht im Gespräch, dass moderne Logistik längst weit über den reinen Transport von A nach B hinausgeht: von hochkomplexem Setbuilding für die Kosmetikindustrie, die vollständige Dosenlogistik für Paulaner bis hin zur Automatisierung von Transportnetzwerken mittels künstlicher Intelligenz. Logistik wird damit zum strategisch relevanten und innovativen Bindeglied moderner Wertschöpfungsketten. Thomas blickt auf eine dynamische, 20-jährige Laufbahn in der Logistikbranche zurück, die über prägende Führungs- und P&L-Rollen bei Branchenschwergewichten wie DB Schenker und Cargo Partner bis an die Vorstandsspitze in Augsburg führte. Er beschreibt offen, warum der Schlüssel zu einer erfolgreichen Karriere vor allem darin liegt, konsequent Ownership zu zeigen und Verantwortung auch mal über den eigenen Tellerrand hinaus zu übernehmen. Ganz privat teilt der zweifache Familienvater und leidenschaftliche Eintracht-Frankfurt-Fan, wie er den eng getakteten Corporate-Alltag strukturiert, warum er jeden Morgen bewusst mit Sport beginnt und weshalb er all seinen Führungskräften als wichtigste Inspirationsquelle das Buch Extreme Ownership schenkt. Drei Fragen, die in dieser Folge besprochen werden: - Wie gelingt der Wandel von der rein klassischen Spedition hin zu einem hochgradig verzahnten Kontraktlogistik-Partner, der wertschöpfende Zusatzdienstleistungen für Weltmarken übernimmt? - Warum ist das Prinzip der Extreme Ownership der entscheidende Hebel für eine erfolgreiche Führungskultur und wie füllt man diesen Anspruch im täglichen Management mit Leben? - Wie optimiert künstliche Intelligenz die Disposition im Nahverkehr, und welche messbaren Effizienzgewinne lassen sich dadurch insbesondere in der Nachtschicht realisieren? Kernthemen: - Kontraktlogistik - Extreme-Ownership - KI-Disposition ----- Über Atreus – A Heidrick & Struggles Company Atreus garantiert die perfekte Interim-Ressource (m/w/d) für Missionen, die nur eine einzige Option erlauben: nachhaltigen Erfolg!

What is the difference between Extreme Ownership and Extreme Stewardship? More than just responsibility. In this episode of our Everyone Leads series, we explore how ownership helps us take accountability for the mission in front of us, while stewardship challenges us to think about what we are leaving behind for the next person, the next crew, and the next generation of leaders.In the second half, we shift gears into communication and break down three practical ways to communicate better on a crew: being clear, confirming understanding, and listening with intent.This episode is powered by Sturgeon Electric and MYR Group.Check out and support our promotional partners: Milwaukee Tool, Klein Tools, Wye Delta, High Voltage Industries, and Vimocity.Ad music provided by: Daniel Sanchez @d.s.s._beats | @DSSbeatsFollow us on Instagram: @CaliforniaLineWorksMay we all continue to guide and support those in need.

Success in bodybuilding and coaching isn't built on shortcuts, excuses, or blame—it's forged through extreme ownership and relentless commitment. In this episode of the NASM “Peak Physique Podcast,” IFBB Physique Olympian and NASM Master Trainer Andre Adams breaks down the hard truths every athlete and coach needs to hear for lasting success.

Send us Fan MailYou can't build a better life with a mindset that keeps handing the steering wheel to someone else. Jordan Edwards delivers a fast, direct Five Minute Friday on extreme ownership, the kind of personal accountability that changes how you handle money stress, body goals, and strained relationships. If your inner loop sounds like “Why is rent so high?” “Why am I low on money?” “Why am I overweight?” or “Why does no one want to talk to me?” this is the reset that turns those questions into action. We dig into a hard but freeing idea: your results are shaped by what you do, not what you wish other people would do. And it's not just about taking responsibility when things go wrong. Jordan makes the case that if you're thriving financially, feeling strong and healthy, or enjoying a solid marriage and friendships, you should own that too, because it proves you can create repeatable outcomes. This episode is all about self-leadership, agency, and choosing the next right step instead of waiting for perfect conditions. Jordan also shares the influence behind the message, Jocko Willink's book “Extreme Ownership,” and connects it to everyday leadership. When you raise your standards and show up more authentically, the people around you notice and often rise with you. If you want a simple principle that cuts through blame and creates momentum, press play. Then share it with someone who needs a push, subscribe for more, and leave a review with the one area of your life you're choosing to own next.

Two women can have the exact same schedule, the same hormones, the same struggles, and get completely different results. In this episode, Jen explains why the difference almost always comes down to ownership, not willpower, not genetics, not even motivation. She walks through the concept of extreme ownership borrowed from leadership frameworks, the crucial difference between ownership and punishing yourself, and a strategy she calls preemptive ownership that helps you plan for hard weeks before they derail you. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still spinning your wheels, this episode might explain why. Want to know more about 1:1 Coaching?

If you don't understand your mission or your future, don't wait for someone else to tell you—take ownership and start the conversation. JP emphasizes that understanding your role, future opportunities, and purpose is ultimately your responsibility.

Most men think attraction is something that happens to them (a switch their wife either flips or doesn't). Keith Yackey burns that idea to the ground. After two divorces, he built a framework around one brutal truth: you don't get what you want, you get what you are. If she's not leaning in anymore, that's not a mystery. That's a mirror. In this conversation, Keith breaks down the five dials every man is quietly failing (parent, partner, producer, player, and power) and hands you the exact language to rate yourself against them. We get into why scheduling sex builds more desire than spontaneity ever will, why "I did it for you" is the worst thing a man can say, and why the guys who stop chasing anything eventually get left by everything. This isn't theory. It's the same math Keith used to go from a 19 out of 100 to the best marriage of his life.

Check out the full episode: https://lewishowes.com/podcast/jocko-willink-on-extreme-leadership-and-the-power-of-self-discipline/ Retired Navy SEAL Commander Jocko Willink shares how he stays grounded by starting each day with humility, avoiding ego traps like overconfidence. He explains balanced leadership requires assessing situations openly without rigid absolutes. Willink describes the dichotomy of being aggressive yet avoiding recklessness, taking ownership while empowering teams' input. Willink notes even extreme ownership has limits when one oversees every detail. He advocates fluidity, adapting rather than forcing rigid plans. Willink models self-checking even mantras like "default aggression" to allow context and nuance. Overall, he stresses ego destroys progress by preventing the flexibility, hunger and openness needed for growth. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP challenges listeners to stop waiting for the perfect opportunity and start living with intentionality. Reflecting on the first half of the year, he shares practical lessons on becoming "default aggressive"—taking initiative in your leadership, relationships, faith, and personal growth. JP explains how stepping outside his comfort zone by coaching beginner jiu-jitsu changed his perspective on leadership and fulfillment. He also issues a simple but powerful challenge: intentionally start conversations with people you don't know. Through these small acts of courage, we become better leaders, build stronger relationships, and create opportunities to encourage others. Whether you're leading a business, raising a family, serving in your community, or simply trying to become a better man, this episode offers practical ways to stop drifting and start living with purpose.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Northeast Woodworks LLC LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Josh Norko — a former heroin addict who detoxed in Navy boot camp, hit rock bottom at 26, and walked out of a faith-based rehab program with nothing but a plan. That plan became Northeast Woodworks, a high-end custom cabinet shop he built from a two-car garage in Connecticut, packed up, and rebuilt from scratch in Central Oregon. Josh and his business partner Alex Reid break down how a solo cabinet maker can clear half a million a year, why blue-collar trades are becoming the new white collar, and how they've built a growing community teaching anyone — skilled or starting from zero — to launch and grow a cabinet business through Cabinet Mastery. Whether you're deep in addiction, stuck in a dead-end job, or just looking for a business you can build with your hands — Josh built his way out of all three. Now he's showing everyone else how.

Do you feel micromanaged right now? Your boss breathing down your neck? Asking for more details, more plans, more updates? You're probably thinking it's a boss problem. But Sam's going to tell you something that might sting: it's not your boss. It's you.And before you tune out, hear him out—because this applies at every level. Whether you're a salesperson with no team, a manager with a team, or an owner with leadership above you, the root cause is the same.Sam's lived by one principle for twenty-five years: Leader of one, leader of many. If you can't lead one, you can't lead any. And if you're feeling micromanaged, the person you're failing to lead is yourself.In this episode, Sam breaks down the three hundred sixty degree Extreme Ownership Framework and shows you exactly why you're being micromanaged and how to fix it.Key Teaching Points:The problem isn't your boss. It's extreme ownership and upstream communication. Two main categories: salesperson or technician with no team below, or manager with team below and leadership above. The three hundred sixty degree framework: lead up to your boss, lead across to your peers, lead down to your team. Layer one: the salesperson or technician. You're not taking ownership of your role. You're not communicating proactively. Layer two: the manager. You haven't taken extreme ownership of alignment with leadership above. You don't have a clear understanding of what success looks like to them. Layer three: all levels. The framework works everywhere.The One Three One Framework:Never take a problem to your manager without three ideas to solve it. Problem plus three solutions, then suggest the one you think is right. This develops trust.Real Example:Christian Stevens got a sixteen thousand dollar sale on his first appointment after training. He was four thousand dollars higher than the previous quote because he asked more questions and gained trust.The Fix:Take extreme ownership. Show them you've got it. Communicate proactively. Don't wait for them to ask. Send a text immediately after an appointment. Here's what happened. Here's the outcome. Tell them the story.Proactive communication stops micromanagement. Once they see you're on top of it, they have no reason to micromanage you anymore.Work with Sam:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netCoaching and training: https://www.closeitnow.net/coachingFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowEmail: sam@closeitnow.netHVAC Sales Jumpstart 2026:Live training every Monday night, seven PM Central, starting July first.

In this episode of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP breaks down what real leadership looks like under pressure and why so many leaders lose the trust of their teams. This conversation focuses on accountability, discipline, mentorship, and the importance of maintaining high standards in leadership and team culture. JP explains how leadership is earned through consistency, ownership, and attention to detail—not titles or authority. The discussion explores how weak leadership damages organizations, why ego prevents growth, and how great leaders build trust by serving the people around them.

Nine soldiers in a hilltop position. Rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire from every direction. Seven killed. One man left on the radio, calling for help that was not coming. That is where this episode begins. In this Memorial Day special of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with four men who faced the most extreme physical and mental breaking points a human being can endure.   Medal of Honor recipient Ryan Pitts fought alone and was wounded at a remote observation post in Afghanistan after losing seven teammates around him. Navy SEAL leader Leif Babin breaks down how extreme ownership and the refusal to quit create an advantage when everyone else is suffering. Navy pilot Keegan Gill was ejected from a fighter jet at 695 miles per hour, shattered nearly every major bone in his body, and spent two hours drowning in the Atlantic. Green Beret Nick Lavery lost his leg to machine gun fire in Afghanistan, then fought his way back to become the first above-knee amputee to return to active duty special operations.   Each story delivers a concrete lesson in endurance under fire, ownership of outcomes, and the decision to keep going when quitting is the logical choice.    Things You Will Learn: Why the person who hangs on one minute longer is the one who wins. What extreme ownership looks like in combat and why it builds lasting toughness in any environment. Why asking for help is not a weakness, and why the toughest operators on the planet treat mental health the same as a broken ankle.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Outlast the Field: You do not need to be the best. You need to be the last one still moving when everyone else stops. Extreme Ownership: Own every failure. Share every lesson. The ego hit is temporary. The growth is permanent. Burn the Boats Standard: No Plan B. Meet the standard or die trying. Gray area does not exist at the highest level.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Guests Bios:   Ryan Pitts: Medal of Honor recipient. On July 13, 2008, at a remote observation post in Wanat, Afghanistan, Pitts was wounded in the opening seconds of a massive enemy assault that killed seven of his fellow soldiers. Alone and bleeding, he continued fighting and called for reinforcements on the radio, holding his position until help arrived. He was 22 years old. Pitts spent a year recovering at Walter Reed and has since dedicated himself to sharing the stories of the men who fought beside him and the importance of seeking help when the fight follows you home.   Leif Babin: Former Navy SEAL officer and co-author of Extreme Ownership. Babin led SEAL operations in Ramadi, Iraq, during some of the most intense urban combat of the war. He lost teammates in action and carried those lessons into leadership consulting, teaching that owning your failures — not hiding them — is the foundation of real toughness and lasting performance.   Keegan Gill: Former Navy fighter pilot. During a training exercise over the Atlantic, a system malfunction sent his jet into an unrecoverable dive. He ejected at 695 miles per hour, two seconds from impact. The force shattered both arms, both legs, broke his neck, and caused a traumatic brain injury. His parachute release malfunctioned, and he spent two hours being drowned by his own chute in freezing water before rescue. He woke up two weeks later in a trauma center.   Nick Lavery: Green Beret and the first above-knee amputee to return to active duty special operations. On his third deployment to Afghanistan, machine gun fire destroyed his right leg. From his hospital bed, he committed to returning to his team with no backup plan. After two years of rehabilitation and 14 weeks of assessment, he returned to the same team that was with him when he was wounded and deployed back to Afghanistan seven weeks later. He served 20 years total.   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE! Use codeword PODCAST on checkout for 10% your next race.  

Excuses build nothing. Ownership builds everything. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the mindset that separates weak leaders from elite operators: extreme accountability. Let's be real… It is easy to take credit when revenue is up. It is easy to celebrate when the team is winning. It is easy to look like a leader when everything is working. But real leadership shows up when things break. When the launch fails. When the team drops the ball. When the numbers are down. When the pressure is on. In this episode, you'll learn: Why blaming the economy, algorithm, or team destroys your power How taking ownership gives you control over the solution Why great leaders fix systems instead of just punishing people How accountability builds loyalty, respect, and a stronger culture The truth is simple: If it happened inside your company… It is your responsibility. Maybe the training was weak. Maybe the system was broken. Maybe the wrong person was in the wrong seat. But the buck stops with you. And when you own the failure… You earn the right to own the victory. Stop pointing fingers. Grab the wheel. Fix the problem. Protect your team. And lead from the front. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

So many practice leaders and owners feel it, but so few say it — the weight of ownership can sometimes be too much. Kiera talks about how common stress among dentists is, what those stressors can look like, and how to start lessening that weight today. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera and I hope you're having a great day. I hope that you are excited about life. I hope that you just remember like, we are so lucky. We get to be in dentistry. We get to hang out on the podcast together. I get to go with you on whatever road you're going on today, whatever life you're doing, whatever you're doing. I am so grateful that you're choosing to take me along with you. And today I just wanted to talk about something that I feel is really near and dear to me. It's near and dear to a lot of our dentists.   We ran a really fun webinar last year and I'm excited to do it again. And it was probably our best webinar we've ever run. I had probably the best turnout we've ever had. But I think it was because we hit the strongest topic and we're actually gonna be discussing this at summit this year, at our webinars this year. So if this hits home, I would invite you to join us ⁓ at any of them because you don't have to do this alone. And what it is is the hidden weight of ownership.   And I think it's like what every practice leader and owner feels, but they rarely say. And I just feel that people, I don't know, we have a mastermind and there's a girl in our mastermind, we're in person. And I remember I was asking for people like, hey, how was the mastermind for you? What were your takeaways? And every single time I asked that question, the mastermind, someone always raises their hand and they always say, it feels so good to be amongst peers and colleagues.   and to realize that I'm not alone. And I'm like, if we all know each other is going through this, but we don't say it, I think we live in our head a lot. And when you're in your head, you're dead. And so I think a lot of times like ownership is heavy. And for myself, it's heavy. And for all of you listening, it's heavy. And I think what we don't see is it's like, we carry payroll. We worry about cashflow. We feel like we're responsible for team culture and morale. We read the book. I mean, I've been on it. I've told you guys, read Extreme Ownership by Jacka Willings.   Everything in your practice is a direct reflection of you and you are responsible for it. So then you're like, great, patient complaints, like this is my fault. Can't tell you how many doctors I've had get bad reviews while I've been in office or we've been working with them or with our consultants and the doctor literally cannot let it go for weeks, months. Like it just eats at them. And I don't blame you. You feel like everyone else clocks out and you still have to carry this home. They all get to go home. They get to have their paycheck. I don't, I get to sit in this amazing space that I built for myself that I absolutely just want to like.   let go. And I think it's one of those things of like, you're a great dentist. It's just the weight of feeling like you're responsible for all of it. And I know I feel this too. And so today I just wanted to invite you of like, Hey, let's talk about some tactical places of how to make ownership feel a little bit lighter that could make it to where you're not alone. You don't have to be alone. And there's actually some tactical pieces for you and welcome to the Dental A Team, the space where you don't need to be alone, running a practice that's successful should be easy. And that's what we're on a mission to do and to positively influence you.   to help you realize that things are better than you think they are, but to give you a tangible path, not just theories and ideas, but a tangible path to go from where you are today to where you want to go. And I'm Kiera Dent and I'm obsessed with dentistry. I'm obsessed with helping people have their dream freaking lives. I realized after a long time, and this might sound so cheesy to you, but the purpose of my life is to truly like be a creator. And what it is, is it's to create and like help people's dreams come true. And I know that sounds so silly, but I look at all of my goals. They're always for other people like.   sending my mom on her dream trip, buying my dad his dream car, getting Jason his dream car, helping my team members get their dream lives, like helping this team member buy a house, helping this dentist get their like dream house in Florida. Like that freaking lights me up. And so the bigger the dream, the bigger the opportunity. And I think for you, if you're listening today, I hope you just feel like I'm giving you a giant hug of understanding, of knowing, of letting you know that you're not doing this alone. And so I just want you to know that this today is not a pep talk. This is like,   A lot of leaders like it's only them that feels this way. But guess what? It's super common. And I want you to know that you were trained to be a dentist, you aren't trained to be an owner. And so today, I wasn't trained to be an owner either. And guess what? We've all had to freaking learn it. And so I'm here to tell you, here to help you out of the way. ⁓ And I think that this is a great quote. Leaders increasingly need to serve a wide array of follower and organizational needs without depleting their own energy or risking burnout. And that came from a qualitative investigation of leader vitality in 2023 of PMC.   And I just think about this and like the ADA also said in their health policy in 2024, they said 82 % of dentists feel major stress in their career. And I just thought like, shoot, this is something we need to talk about. Like you're carrying like this array. Like I think about my shoulders and like almost like football player with shoulder pads and I'm like, my shoulders aren't big enough to carry all this. And yeah, I'm expected to carry payroll, expected to carry this, expected to carry that, that I think it almost like literally by default weighs this down. so,   Let's talk about what makes it feel heavier and how to actually lighten that load. So I think it's one of those spaces of like, we talked about you're responsible for everyone's paycheck. You feel like every team problem, it was a reflection of you. Like turnover when somebody turns over, I don't know about you guys. like used to stew on this for days on end. Like I felt like I was a problem. Like, hi, Taylor Swift. Like, hi, I'm the problem. It's me. My team hates me. ⁓ We feel like success feels like it's impossible. I feel like everybody else has it.   I feel like cashflow, feel like team stress, feel like decision fatigue. Like Jason sometimes at the end of a day, he's like, Kiera, what do want for dinner? And I'm like, one more decision. Like, I don't freaking care. I don't care. I don't care what I eat. Maybe some of you do, but it's just like, I am so sick of this. And when they stack, that's where it can just feel very, very heavy. And so I think what I've learned and what I've seen other people do is like, let's actually like name the weight rather than letting it sit there and separating the emotional stress from operational problems. So   A lot of times what I'll do is I grab my journal and I'm like, what feels heavy right now? Like, what is it? And just list it. And like, I'm allowed to do a huge laundry list. And I look to see like, is this current? mean, shoot, if you guys could see behind this camera, I've got six giant papers and it's like, here's all my stressors. This, this, this, this, like it's there. But when we're in our head, we're dead, remember that? So getting it out of our head, putting it on paper and actually naming it and saying like, okay, I just have a lot of categories. And sometimes I look like,   My name's in a lot of boxes on our org chart, even today, 10 years later. Why? That's a care thing. That's not a team thing. That's me. And so then I also look to say, what are the top one or two stressors today? And is it a current thing or is it a future thing? Like I look at my list here and it's like this, this, this, this. Some of those are problems that I'm like not focusing on that I'm waiting on right now. Like they're the weight on me, but they're four or five months down the line. Some of them are urgent and pressing. And so what is it?   And I think helping you rise like you're not weak, you might just be carrying too many categories of weight at the same time. So then what we do is getting it out of your head. Let's make sure that we, we actually name it. We figure out what it is. Is it current today or is it future? And then what on there? Like, I just have a whole list. Then after that, I want you to make sure that you're not accidentally making your weight heavier than is intentional because when it stays like very personal,   or vague or just in my head, this is where it can actually get heavier. So like trying to be everything to everybody. No one else is owning outcomes, unclear roles, lack of KPI visibility, like avoiding hard conversations that would honestly make your life a lot better. Assuming people will just figure it out, like if they just cared, they would figure it out. Like this isn't how it is. That's not what it is. And so when we have it in there and it's just there and it's vague and it's personal, looking at your list and saying, is this something that I'm taking personally? Is this really about me?   Is it vague and could I define it better? And if not, like, let me clear those up because then what we can do is we can look to see, is this a you? Is this a you problem in leadership? Is this something where we need to rise our team up? Or is this something that like we can honestly delegate and get it off of us? So when we look at that, accountability is going to reduce stress and we've got to have clarity and follow through so that we were not having like a ton of guesswork. So what it looks like is like, then I look at my list and I'm like, okay, is this personal and personal attack on me?   Do I need to fix that personally? Is it begging? Could I clear this up? And then from there, what really needs to happen today? And is it truly a Kiera slash owner issue or is this something I can delegate and give clear ownership and clarity on and move it off of my plate? So it feels very heavy when you don't know like who owns this, how is winning happening and is it reassured? Like I love a KPI scorecard. That's why we put KPI scorecards in place. This is why we have like who owns this metric. We have job descriptions. We have job duties for people.   Like helping you just see like, okay, if I have an issue with payroll, who's the person on my team that's responsible for that? All these things that are keeping you late at night. I've got to order, I've got to pick this out, I've got to do this. Okay, great, is that really a you thing or is this even be part of someone's job description or do you just need to let go of it? If I'm looking at stress on cashflow, okay, great. Like, is it a spending problem? Is it a production problem or is it a collections problem? What really is it and who owns that and can I give accountability to someone? And I think so often we just sit here. Like for me, I sit and swirl.   I'm like, okay, all these things are going on, all these things, and they call it the crazy eight. So then I like flip around and I'm like, my gosh, everything's falling. So getting it on paper, figuring out what really is the crux and then picking the top one or two items that are gonna move it for you, that starts to lighten the load. So it's what one or two things really need to happen today. And we move out of hero mode into leadership mode. We have our numbers tell us the truth. Like I can sit here and freak out all day. And sometimes I'm like, my gosh, we're behind on this, we're behind on this.   But when I look at the PNL and I have the numbers and I look at our cashflow report, is it really that or is it just my like psychoticness honestly, of ruminating on it when it's really not that bad. So what are the numbers tell us? Numbers are always gonna tell the truth. And then we've got to give ownership to our team and we don't take it back on. I feel like anytime I delegate, it never comes back to me. And then we have these check-ins rather than building resentment. I realize a lot of times,   I'm holding resentment because I don't talk to my team. I don't fill them in. I'm not telling them what's going on. Build like one-on-ones every single week if you need to. So you got more regular touch points when they aren't these heavy daunting. And then like, just recognize that sometimes it's freaking hard. Like right now, Dental A Team is going through a growth stretch phase right now. Like, I'm living this right now, which is why I can speak to this very authentically. And what I found is it's just sometimes hard. That doesn't mean it's failure, but I found.   When does my load get lighter? One, when I prioritize what really needs to happen today rather than what needs to happen in four months. Two, delegate out things that really are not my responsibility and I can pass other people, but have a check-in cadence. So can I check in on a KPI scorecard? Can I check it on these other areas so it doesn't get lost? And I'm not talking about everything. It could just be one thing. Like literally we weren't hiring very well. We made a KPI scorecard. I know how many resumes have been done. I know how many interviews have been done. I know how many people are on our bank. It's so great for me.   Now it doesn't sit in my head of like, where's high? Like literally, I wish you guys could see, I hope you can see it. Like, I hope this becomes a real like rubbing my head. All right. Where's your hiring app? What needs to get done for this? I just tell me is someone coming like for the love of everything holy? Where are we out on production? Where are we at on unscheduled treatment? Where are we at? Make it into a KPI. Have people report every single week. Then you can look at the numbers and see really where is the problem.   Is it a diagnosis? Is it a case closing problem? Is it a new patient problem? We then can figure it out. And what this does is it then is a, is it a people problem, a process problem or a priority problem? Like I love this. And so for you guys, like look at it. Is it a people problem, a process problem or a priority problem? And then figure out which one of those are you going to address. And this is great for me. Like this is truly, hey, Kiera, take this on. Is it people, process or priority problem? Half the time I will say it's a priority problem. We want all these nonsense things to be fixed today.   when really they're not truly the burning urgent piece. And if you fix the root problem, the bulk of your issues would go away. Now, who else can help me carry this load? I used to make laundry lists and now I make laundry lists and see how many of these can I delegate out and make sure they're reported back to me rather than me doing it. And then I look at my numbers and I really live by the numbers. And then the last piece is maybe what conversation have I been avoiding that would actually lighten this immediately.   I'm really gonna sit on that for a minute because I think this one actually is the hardest one for me. Maybe for you, it's the people, like it's the people problem, process problem or priority. Like I don't prioritize. Maybe it's that I refuse to delegate problem. Maybe it's I don't look at the numbers problem or maybe it's I avoid conversation. So who are you? Are you on the priority issue? Are you on the delegation issue? Are you on the numbers issue or are you on the avoiding conversation? Every single one of us has a, I say like,   aren't like sins, but I feel like it's like, what's my flavor of choice? Who am I? And I think even identifying who you are for me, it's the conversations I avoid. And I've had to accept like, someone said this the other day to me, they said, nothing's worth your piece, Kiera. And I thought about that. And I thought, all right, conversations need to be had. And they're not confrontation. They're just conversations. So when we look at this, and we can say like, do I not prioritize correctly? Do I not delegate?   Do I not look at my numbers and metrics to make these things less stressful? Or what conversations am I having? This is how you start to lighten your load because you stop caring everything. You start identifying it and you start leading your team. This isn't an overnight sensation, but I think so often the days feel long and the months are fast. We overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what we can get done in a year. I hope you heard that. We overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what we can get done in a year.   So half the time this feels heavy because you're carrying cash pressure, team pressure, decision pressure, priority pressure, emotional pressure, but we let it all sit there. And the goal is not to feel nothing. The goal is to stop carrying everything alone. And the goal is to stop doing this based on emotions, but rather live in facts. Like let's get the emotion out. Let's live in facts. Because I really want you to recognize that having this, again, a recap is...   We sit here and we have it like where it sits there quietly and everything is there and we feel responsible. Then we sit there and we make everything personal and about us and it's unclear and it's vague. And then what we do is we actually move out of that mode into leadership mode and we start to lead. We start to guide, we use our numbers. And I think for you when you're having this, this is real life. Every owner feels this. You're not special sitting over there licking your wounds. I do this all the time. I'm like, no one else. Like I am so, it's my ego. Zip it ego.   Let's get into leadership mode. My ego wants to sit there and be like, oh, woe is me. I have all these issues. Yeah, guess what? I freaking signed up for this when I decided to be a business owner. That doesn't mean it makes it easier. And it doesn't mean you need to go about it alone. And it doesn't mean that you are alone because every owner, every person feels this. It's just a matter of what are we going to do? So action items are number one, you've got to get it out of your head and you got to prioritize. Number two, I got to figure out who I'm going to delegate this to. Number three, I'm going to make sure I've got KPIs and scorecards to fix these metrics of all these problems.   Truly everything can be solved by a number and four, I'm gonna start to have the conversations that I need to have. You just take those four bullet points on and you put that on a sticky note and you live by that, your life will look different in 30 days, guaranteed. But how often do we go into denial? We go into doom scrolling. We go into like, whoa, well, their problems aren't as bad as mine, so I'm doing pretty good. We go into like, tomorrow's a great day. I had a great, huge case. Everything's good again. No.   It's just gonna hit you, it's gonna boomerang back to you. So let's stop the boomerang, let's stop the fatigue, let's stop the crazy eight and let's actually commit to doing one thing, one thing. And if you're so in it, I'm in it. I mean, today I actually had a great call. I called a mentor, I called a coach and I said like, hey, I need help. We set it all up and I was like, where are my blind spots? What can I do and what perspective do you see?   And I think that's the beauty of having a coach, having a mentor, having somebody who's not in it with you. So you don't have to solve it all alone. I actually realized that ownership is pretty easy. The mental stamina to get through it is why we need coaches and support groups around us. That's why we joined masterminds. That's why we have a peer group. That's why we have other people. This is why you've got a coach that's there for you at your beck and call in dental 18. You've got a CEO founder that can literally speak to your exact problems and help you out.   You have a peer group of brilliant people at the mastermind. They're like, it was amazing. Someone told me, said, Kiera, what I realized is amazing. They've been a client with me for gosh, six years. And he said, Kiera, I didn't realize how many incredible practices that you have around you that now we get access to. You guys, I attract and collect great people. And if you're listening to the podcast, I guarantee you, you're probably one of them and I'd love you to be a part of it. Don't do this alone. Why don't you grow your practice 10X this year? Why don't you your profitability at least five to 10 % this year? Do it with people.   that get it, that understand it, that are willing to drive you through it. You do not need to do this. can email today, hello at the Dental A Team. You can go and click on and book a call. But I think it's a matter of when pain hurts, execute. Because tomorrow it might get better, but that doesn't mean it got resolved. It was just a bandage. It was just a happy day. this, like the root is we gotta fix this and we gotta fix it forever. So I want you just to realize that sometimes when you feel this like hidden weight of ownership,   What it usually is signaling is that you need stronger leadership, you need stronger structure, and sometimes you don't know how to get there on your own, but I guarantee you that that's gonna get you out of it. So I want you to just realize this is for you. This is why we talk about it. This is people don't talk about it. And I want you to truly have the help, have the resources. So if we can help in any way, fantastic. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com and just do yourself a favor. I think this is the greatest gift you can give yourself as an owner, as a leader.   ⁓ is to not sit here and stress constantly, to not sit here and carry under the heavy weight of ownership that is unnecessary. We can lighten the load today. It can be removed. And I think having a fairy godmother consultant is one of the greatest things that we could ever offer you. reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

If you keep waiting to "feel motivated," you will keep losing to friction, bad habits, and the identity you keep reinforcing. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Craig Ballantyne, widely known for being "the world's most disciplined man." He didn't get there through sheer intensity or some superhuman routine, but instead by turning discipline into a repeatable system. Together, they break down why "discipline" means something different for everyone, why subtracting friction beats adding effort, and how identity and self-talk determine your consistency. This conversation is a practical blueprint for building standards that hold up even when life gets busy. Here's what you'll learn: Why discipline starts with a clear definition of success, not generic "work harder" goals How to subtract obstacles (environments, people, distance, temptations) so consistency becomes the default What it takes to shift your identity and self-talk so your habits become almost automatic Stop trying to win with willpower. Actually achieve your goals with systems.

This episode draws on a real situation from Darren's own team. The broader principle is Extreme Ownership demands something most leaders struggle with: letting people sit in the discomfort long enough to learn. This is essential listening for anyone serious about building a high-performance team. Attend the upcoming Business Master Class May 4th-6th.
