Boris Becker burned out at 25. Former British No1 Jo Konta carried her family's sacrifice onto court every match and Irish tennise pr Conor Niland described a tennis player's self-worth as entirely tied to winning and losing — nothing else. Three players, the same problem: identity wrapped around results, the sport becoming something to survive.This week, in the run-up to Wimbledon, Jake and Damian go back into the archive to hear from all three — then hand over to leading performance coach, Ben Crowe, who has spent 30 years helping the world's best athletes solve exactly that problem.Ben has worked with athletes Ash Barty and Steph Gilmore coached NBA teams and the Australian Cricket Team, and comes personally recommended by Andre Agassi. You'll hear the full story of Ash Barty's French Open semifinal — 5-0 up and tightening, 3-0 down and laughing — and what shifted in her mind to turn it around. Plus Ben's central idea: the opposite of play is not work. It's fear. And most people, most of the time, are in the fear state without knowing it.Where the Light Gets In by Ben Crowe is available now.Revolut Business

The episode covers a lot of Roediger's career, from the grassroots discovery of illegal warrant fees in St. Louis County municipalities to a $37 million verdict against the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and some of the most difficult civil rights litigation imaginable. What ties it all together is his view that the legal system routinely punishes people not for what they did, but for how little money they have.

As parents, it's natural to want to help your children—especially when they're facing financial challenges. But when that support becomes open-ended, it can create serious risks for your retirement, your emergency fund, your credit, and even your family relationships.In this episode of Dollars and Sense, Joel and Zach discuss five ways helping adult children can unintentionally hurt your retirement plan. They cover how financial support can affect family dynamics, create sibling tension, reduce retirement contributions, drain emergency savings, and increase debt or credit risk.The goal isn't to stop helping your kids. It's to help wisely—with structure, boundaries, and a clear understanding of how today's generosity could impact tomorrow's financial security.If you're a parent, pre-retiree, or retiree trying to balance generosity with long-term financial stability, this conversation is for you.Thinking about moving to a 55+ community? Before you make the leap, there are a few important questions to ask yourself—because this decision is about much more than buying a new home.Joel and Zach discuss the lifestyle, financial, emotional, and long-term planning considerations that come with moving into a 55+ community. From downsizing and HOA fees to social activities, aging in place, and making sure you and your partner are on the same page, this conversation is designed to help you think clearly before making a major life transition.A 55+ community can offer convenience, connection, and a fresh start—but it may also require trade-offs. The key is knowing whether the community fits your finances, personality, lifestyle, and future needs.In this episode, we cover:Whether you're truly ready for a lifestyle changeThe emotional and practical side of downsizingGiving up yardwork, gardening, and home maintenanceUnderstanding HOA fees and service-based costsSocial opportunities and privacy considerationsMaking sure you and your partner are alignedPlanning for aging in place and long-term comfortIf you're retired, nearing retirement, or helping a loved one consider their next move, this episode will give you helpful questions to consider before choosing a 55+ community.

Are design fees really the best way for interior designers to get paid?In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I continue the conversation around pricing and billing by exploring the advantages and disadvantages of fee-based design.Many designers assume design fees automatically solve the problems created by hourly billing. But the truth is that design fees only work when they are supported by a clear scope of work, defined deliverables, strong boundaries, and a well-written letter of agreement.In this episode, I explain why fee-based design can dramatically improve profitability, cash flow, client confidence, and project management. We also discuss the mistakes designers make when creating flat fees, how to handle client requests outside the original scope, and why talking about money remains one of the most important skills a designer can develop.If you've ever wondered whether design fees are right for your business, this episode will help you understand when they work best, and when they can become a costly mistake.In this episode, we cover:Why design fees fail without clear boundariesThe importance of scope, deliverables, and planningHow design fees improve client confidenceWhy fee-based design improves cash flowCreating profitable letters of agreementManaging client requests outside the scope of workWhy designers need to talk about moneyUnderstanding value versus timeHow experience increases profitabilityWhen fee-based design works bestShow notes are available at interiordesignbusinessacademy.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademyFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy

Sir Gareth Southgate is England's most successful manager since 1966. Two finals, four tournaments and by the end, fans were throwing beer at him in the stadium.Today, as England embark on another World Cup journey, we revisit one of the most candid leadership conversations we've ever recorded. Gareth explains why he knew it was time to leave before the final was even played, what he said to his players before England's penalty shootouts, and how it took him 52 years to silence the voice in his head — the same voice that froze him in 1996.He also gets into the unglamorous reality of leading a high-profile team: how to protect players from outside noise when you can't protect yourself from it, why he banned himself from speaking first in staff meetings, and what it actually felt like to walk through the door as England manager and realise culture, not tactics, was the problem.Thanks to our partners: Revolut Business

Tom Dunleavy is Head of Venture at Varys Capital.In this episode, Tom walks us through his valuation framework for ETH. He offers a mental model where Ethereum is the vault filled with stablecoins, RWAs, and DeFi activity secured by it. But ETH is the lock--and the bigger the vault gets, the more valuable the lock has to be to protect it. Based on Ethereum's current onchain activity, Tom gets us to a fair value for ETH that's much higher than the price today. Furthermore, we discuss what happens to the price of ETH when Ethereum grows to $750B-$1T onchain by 2030.Tom insists the vault won't stop growing thanks to demand for stablecoins and RWAs—and that ETH, the lock, is simply due for a repricing.------

Send us Fan Mail summaryIn this episode of the Tracheostomy Education Podcast, Nicole DePalma continues the two-part discussion on decannulation with Dr. Jerry Gentile. This episode focuses on what happens after a patient is tolerating capping, how long to monitor before trach removal, the role of FEES in evaluating secretion management and aspiration risk, and what clinicians should know about failed or accidental decannulation. Nicole and Jerry discuss the importance of assessing whether the original reason for the tracheostomy has resolved, whether the patient can manage secretions, and whether there is adequate upper airway patency. Nicole explains how Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, or FEES, can help evaluate secretion management, aspiration, cough strength, sensation, swallowing safety, and airway patency when determining whether a patient is ready for decannulation from a SLP perspective. The conversation also covers the transition from capping to trach removal, including monitoring patients for 24 to 72 hours, watching for increased work of breathing, changes in CO₂, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, coughing ability, and aspiration concerns. Jerry explains what happens after the trach is removed, how the stoma is covered, and why patients may need continued monitoring after decannulation. Nicole and Jerry also review failed decannulation, signs that a patient may need recannulation, and the risks associated with accidental decannulation. They discuss when clinicians should call respiratory therapy, why reinserting a trach can be dangerous if not done correctly, and complications such as false tracking and subcutaneous emphysema. Topics covered in this episode include: The role of FEES in decannulation readiness  Secretion management and aspiration risk  Airway patency and when to involve ENT  Capping trials and 24–72 hour monitoring  Oxygen delivery during speaking valve use, capping, and after decannulation  Stoma care after trach removal  Failed decannulation and signs of respiratory decline  Accidental decannulation and when to call respiratory therapy  Risks of false tracking and subcutaneous emphysema  Pediatric considerations for decannulationSupport the showhttps://tracheostomyeducation.cominstagram.com/tracheostomyeducationlinkedin.com/in/nicole-de-palma-708b16blinkedin.com/in/dr-jerry-gentile

We sit down with returning guest Chelsea Cohen to talk about what she's learned as SoStocked moves through acquisitions and into a larger corporate ecosystem, and why that shift makes real-time visibility into fees, forecasting, and unit economics even more important for day-to-day decisions.We get specific about the hidden margin killers that sneak up on Amazon FBA brands: storage fees, aged inventory fees, capacity constraints, and mismeasured products that land in the wrong FBA fee tier. Chelsea shares how smart sellers build a regular overstock plan, move slow inventory without panic, and think in contribution margin terms so they can spot which SKUs are quietly draining cash. We also talk through the pricing trap, why raising prices doesn't always work, and how to weigh profit dollars against the workload and complexity that come with higher volume at thinner margins.On the tactical side, we cover wasted ad spend audits, negative keywords, reimbursement opportunities (including AWD mistakes), and how Amazon Warehousing and Distribution can help with inbound and capacity when used as a lever instead of a full dependency. We close by looking at how AI is starting to move from “answer my question” to “recommend my next action” in inventory management, plus what needs to be in place so sellers can trust the numbers.

Show Notes Your fee schedule is a revenue ceiling. And for most independent practices doing over $3 million a year, that ceiling is set too low in ways that never generate a denial and never appear on a standard report. EP186 covers the five gaps that are quietly capping your revenue, the exact fix for each one, and three actions to run this week. Gap 1 — Billing Below Your Own Allowables: You negotiate a better payer contract. The billing system does not get updated. The payer pays what you billed, not what you are owed. A practice with 20 high-volume CPT codes averaging a $10 billing gap across 800 monthly claims is losing $8,000 a month, $96,000 a year, from a contract they already won. Gap 2 — Inconsistent Fee Schedules Across Locations: A secondary location runs on its legacy fee schedule from before acquisition. Location A bills $210 for a procedure. Location B bills $165 for the same code. A site doing 400 visits a month with a $35 average billing gap is under-billing $14,000 a month, $168,000 a year. Gap 3 — No Medicare Multiplier Anchor: Fees set by instinct drift downward every year while costs move in the opposite direction. The fix: anchor to 200–300% of the current Medicare allowable and recalculate every November when CMS publishes updated rates. Gap 4 — Suppressing Global Fees for Self-Pay Patients: A practice protecting 15% self-pay volume by keeping fees low inadvertently discounts 100% of encounters. 850 commercial patients billed $40 below the correct rate: $34,000 a month, $408,000 a year. The fix: raise the global fee schedule and implement a separate documented sliding fee scale for uninsured patients. Gap 5 — No Annual Fee Schedule Review: A fee schedule that is right in year one becomes the revenue leak of year five. A $4 million practice drifting 3% below where it should be loses $120,000 a year in collectible revenue. Over five years: $600,000. The Five Fee Schedule Gaps at a Glance: Billing below allowable → Payer pays billed charge, no alert → up to $8K/month Location fee inconsistency → Lower site appears compliant on reports → $3K–$15K/month No Medicare multiplier anchor → Fees drift, no logical update trigger → Compounds annually Artificially low global fee → Self-pay policy masks commercial discount loss → $5K–$20K/month No annual review → Costs rise, billed charges flat → 3–5% margin erosion per year Three actions this week: Run the top-20 CPT code comparison — billed charge vs. highest commercial contract allowable Anchor your fee schedule to the Medicare multiplier — recalculate for this year Put the annual fee schedule review on the Q4 calendar today — first week of November, billing manager named as owner Episode breakdown: 00:00 The fee schedule is a revenue ceiling 02:30 Why silence in billing costs more than denials 05:00 Gap 1: Billing below your own allowables 09:00 Gap 2: Inconsistent fee schedules across locations 13:00 Gap 3: No Medicare multiplier anchor 17:00 Gap 4: Suppressing global fees for self-pay patients 21:30 Gap 5: No annual fee schedule review 25:00 Three actions this week 29:00 Free resource + EP187 tease Resources Mentioned NEW LEAD MAGNET  Primary resource this episode: 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan.

Melissa Nash was once a burned-out new agent working open houses on weekends and missing her kids' events. She pivoted to working with investors, developed a system to help them buy rental properties thousands of miles away without leaving her home, and has generated more than $500 million in referral fees over twelve years. Melissa also built a seven-figure personal portfolio, helped three of her children purchase rental properties before age 18, and now teaches agents nationwide The Lazy Agent System—a strategy for earning $4,000 to $15,000 referral fees per deal by helping investors buy new construction and rental properties out of state.In this episode we discuss how real estate agents can earn up to $15,000 in referral commissions by working with investors who invest out of state. Melissa explains the benefits of partnering with real estate investors, how The Lazy Agent System works, and why focusing on investor clients can provide consistent income while helping renters and buyers achieve their goals.You Can Find Melissa @:The Lazy Agent WAITLIST: https://hellomelissanash.myflodesk.com/remotecommissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themelissanash/

The most expensive financial advisor many people will ever have doesn't send an invoice. It doesn't show up on a fee disclosure. It never introduces itself. But it has shaped more financial decisions, and quietly eroded more wealth, than almost any market downturn, bad product, or conflicted advisor ever could. That advisor is fear.  Fear is the most expensive financial advisor you'll ever have because it rarely looks like panic in the moment. It often feels like wisdom, caution, urgency, or responsible planning. And it tends to show up in two forms. There's the fear of losing what you have, driving over-protection, paralysis, and a growing pile of products you can barely explain.  And there's the fear of missing out, driving premature decisions, underestimated risk, and the nagging sense that you need to move before the window closes.  Neither version is obviously destructive from the inside. Both feel like good judgment at the time. https://youtu.be/OY4kzrZGsYU This article isn't an argument against caution, protection, or careful planning. It's an argument for knowing the difference between a decision made from purpose and one made from panic. Because that difference, compounded over years, is enormous. Key takeaways:Fear Is Subjective, and That's Why It's So Hard to AddressHow Financial Fear Gets ManufacturedThe Two Faces of Financial FearWhat Fear-Based Decisions Actually CostThe Opportunity Cost of Displaced CapitalThe Coordination Cost of FragmentationThe Advisory Cost of Fear ManagementThe Confidence Cost Nobody Talks AboutSigns Your Financial Life Is Running on FearThe Antidote Is Clarity of Purpose, Not FearlessnessSafety, Liquidity, and GrowthThe LIFE FrameworkThe Wealth Creator's Cash Flow SystemProtection Is Not Fear, When It's Done RightStart With Clarity, Not FearBook a Strategy CallFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is fear-based financial decision-making?How does financial fear affect long-term wealth?What is the difference between fear-based planning and prudent planning?What does "clarity of purpose" mean in financial planning?How do I know if my financial advisor is managing through fear?What is the LIFE framework for financial planning? Key takeaways: Fear operates as a financial advisor that most people never identify or fire It appears at both ends of the risk spectrum: loss aversion and fear of missing out Much of the financial marketing ecosystem is designed to manufacture and amplify fear The hidden costs of fear-driven decisions don't appear on any statement Clarity of purpose, not fearlessness, is what replaces reactive decision-making Frameworks like safety/liquidity/growth and the LIFE model transform fear into strategy Fear Is Subjective, and That's Why It's So Hard to Address Financial fear is not a character flaw. I want to be clear about that from the start. It's a real emotional experience, and throwing a spreadsheet at someone who is genuinely afraid does not help them.  That approach respects the numbers, not the person. Behavioral finance research has spent decades documenting this: logic alone doesn't move people out of fear. Education does, but only when the emotion is acknowledged first. Fear is also deeply subjective, which makes it especially difficult to work with. Ask two people how much risk they want to take, use a word like "moderate," and you'll get two completely different answers. And that's before anything has actually happened.  Real risk tolerance isn't revealed on a questionnaire. It's revealed when the market moves, when the headline is bad, when the number on the screen is lower than it was last month. There's a question worth sitting with: if your portfolio could go up $50,000, but you had it positioned too conservatively to capture it, versus if your portfolio simply dropped $50,000, which one would keep you up at night? Neither answer is wrong. But your answer tells you something real about which form of fear has more influence over how you make decisions. Loss aversion and the fear of missing out are both fear. They just feel different from the inside. The goal here isn't to eliminate that fear. That's not possible, and it wouldn't be useful even if it were. The goal is to help you recognize when fear is driving your financial decisions rather than informing them. That recognition, small as it might seem, is where things start to change. How Financial Fear Gets Manufactured Some of the fear you carry is yours. You developed it through experience: a job loss, a market crash, a parent who ran out of money before they ran out of life. That fear is real, and it deserves to be understood on its own terms. But some of the fear in your financial life was handed to you. And it's worth knowing the difference. Much of the financial media and marketing ecosystem runs on fear. Headlines about market crashes, dollar collapse, sequence-of-returns risk, and outliving your retirement savings: these are real concerns, but they're frequently presented in ways designed to provoke a reactive emotional response rather than a considered decision.  Fear sells because it works. Money psychology is clear on this: emotions drive financial action more reliably than information. A financial professional who leads with a terrifying scenario creates urgency. A product that promises to solve that scenario feels essential. Before acting on a financial fear, ask yourself whether it was yours before the conversation. Did you have this concern before you saw the headline, heard the pitch, or sat through the seminar? Or did someone hand it to you? None of this means every financial professional who raises difficult scenarios is acting in bad faith. Many of those scenarios are genuinely worth planning for. But there's a meaningful difference between naming a risk so it can be addressed deliberately and naming a risk to generate anxiety that only one specific product can relieve. The result of a financial life assembled from responses to manufactured fear tends to look the same: a collection of individual products that each solved a specific scary problem, with no one asking whether those products coordinate, complement each other, or serve a single unified strategy.  A friend of mine once described the advice her sister gave every customer at the furniture store where she worked: start with a vision, know what you want the room to feel like, and choose everything together.  Because buying one piece at a time and hoping it comes together almost never produces something coherent. You can furnish a room that way. You just can't furnish a room that works. A financial life built on fear works the same way. The Two Faces of Financial Fear Most people think of financial fear as loss aversion, the fear of markets dropping, money disappearing, and security evaporating. And that version is real. It drives people toward over-protection, toward keeping too much in cash, toward accumulating overlapping insurance products because each one addressed a specific nightmare scenario that someone painted vividly enough. But there's an equally destructive form of fear sitting on the other end of the spectrum - the fear of missing out (FOMO). This is the fear that drives people to retire before their plan can genuinely support it, not because the numbers work, but because they're afraid of missing the active, healthy years of their life.  It's the fear that pushes people toward high-return investments they don't fully understand because everyone else seems to be participating. It's why some people avoid protection strategies entirely: buying life insurance or long-term care coverage feels like an admission of vulnerability they're not ready to make. Imagine it as a bell curve, with loss aversion on one end and FOMO on the other. Neither extreme produces good decisions. The healthy middle is what I'd call abundance thinking: recognizing that money is a replenishable resource, created through relationships, knowledge, and purposeful action. It doesn't ignore risk. It addresses risk from a position of intention rather than anxiety. What Fear-Based Decisions Actually Cost The real expense of fear-driven financial decisions is that almost none of it shows up anywhere you'd look for it. There's no line item. No statement entry. No advisor who sends you an invoice for the cost of reactive decision-making. The costs are real, they compound, and they're almost entirely invisible. The Opportunity Cost of Displaced Capital Every dollar invested in a product purchased out of fear is a dollar that can't be deployed into a more coordinated strategy. If that product carries surrender charges, penalty periods, or reduced liquidity, the cost compounds further. What that capital could have produced in a more purposeful position never appears on any statement. It simply doesn't exist. The Coordination Cost of Fragmentation Fear-driven purchasing happens one product at a time, in response to one scary scenario at a time. The result is strategies that contradict each other: a product purchased to address a tax concern working against an investment approach, a protection strategy drawing capital away from the foundational work that would amplify everything else.  Nobody is watching the whole picture. Nobody has an incentive to. Financial fragmentation is expensive, not because any individual product is wrong, but because nothing is coordinated. The Advisory Cost of Fear Management An advisor who manages primarily through fear has a structural incentive to keep that fear alive. This isn't necessarily malicious, but it's worth recognizing. Fees aren't inherently bad. What matters is whether the fee is buying clarity and coordination, or just temporary relief from anxiety. The Confidence Cost Nobody Talks About This is the most invisible cost of all....

Eric Thompson interviews Cyndi Olmstead, owner of Consi Realtors in Oldsmar, Florida, about two powerful business strategies: networking like a Ninja and offering premium service for a premium fee. Cyndi shares how she built a thriving real estate business from scratch after relocating to Florida without an existing sphere. By intentionally immersing herself in networking groups and later refining her focus to the most productive relationships, she created a strong referral-based business and achieved her best year yet. A major component of Cyndi's success is her innovative use of real estate reviews through her local Chamber of Commerce. By combining networking, one-to-many presentations, and personalized real estate reviews, she stays top of mind while providing valuable market information. This system has become a major source of both flow and business. The second half of the conversation focuses on her premium concierge-style listing service. Rather than simply selling homes, Cyndi coordinates and manages everything from home preparation and repairs to downsizing, packing, moving, and settling clients into their next home. By creating a highly differentiated service model, she is able to confidently charge premium fees because the value she delivers is clear, measurable, and deeply appreciated by her clients. Throughout the episode, Cyndi emphasizes knowing your value, building authentic relationships, and creating systems that make it easy for people to work with you. Key Takeaways Networking works best when you focus on groups that align with your interests and produce meaningful relationships Real estate reviews can be an effective networking tool when delivered in a value-driven, educational setting One-to-many presentations create efficient opportunities for both live flow and auto flow Premium fees require premium value, and clients willingly pay more when the service solves significant problems Knowing your value allows you to confidently build a business around your strengths and ideal clients Coaching helps simplify decisions, refine focus, and create a business that fits your personality and goals Memorable Quotes "People see the value that you see in yourself." "It is possible to have a really good business really quickly." "I wanted the award for GCI, not volume." "I had to find a way to make real estate reviews feel natural." "If you're not tied to the outcome of every single thing, it's easier to choose what's right for you." "Know your value."

Jake and Damian take stock and draw on five years of conversations with some of the world's highest performers. This episode strips everything back to four questions — the ones that, according to existential psychologist Tatiana Schnell, sit at the foundation of a meaningful life.Does your life add up? Do you feel you matter? Do you have a sense of purpose? And do you truly belong to something bigger than yourself?With clips from Dr Pippa Grange on vulnerability and team culture, rapper Aitch on the person who inspires him most, England Rugby League head coach Shaun Wane on finding purpose through adversity, and Dr Rangan Chatterjee on the hidden epidemic of loneliness, Jake and Damian don't just examine the questions — they answer them honestly.Jake opens up about growing up without a clear sense of purpose, the quiet loneliness of chasing success across jobs, and the moment he realised he had no one to call. Damian reflects on what it means for your life to genuinely cohere.Listen to the full episodes of guests featured:Dr Pippa Grange https://pod.fo/e/10bc10Aitch https://pod.fo/e/27ae56Shaun Wane https://pod.fo/e/259c4Dr Rangan Chatterjee https://pod.fo/e/115f19Revolut Business
