In this episode, Luke Carignan sits down with Kelly Trummer, AVP of Talent Acquisition at Wellstar Health System, to unpack what's next for healthcare recruiting in a rapidly evolving workforce landscape. With prior experience at Yale New Haven Health and Southcoast Health, she brings a national perspective on what's changing—and what must change—inside healthcare TA. For Kelly, talent acquisition in healthcare is about direct impact. Every hire affects patient care. That purpose continues to fuel her work and leadership approach. The Post-Pandemic Reality The workforce challenge has shifted. We are no longer hiring our way out of shortages in nursing, imaging, and therapeutic roles. Instead, organizations must rethink strategy: • Develop internal pipelines• Engage future talent earlier• Reduce friction in recruiting processes• Compete in an increasingly tight labor market AI Is Not Replacing Recruiters One of the most powerful themes of the conversation: AI is not eliminating recruiters—it is elevating them. By removing administrative burdens, automation allows recruiters to focus on what matters most: relationship building, intentional conversations, and strategic workforce planning. However, adoption requires balance. Healthcare organizations must bridge generational divides in comfort with AI while ensuring candidate experiences remain human-centered and frictionless. The recruiter of the future? Agile, relationship-driven, and technologically fluent. Differentiation in a Crowded Market For Wellstar, competitive advantage comes down to how the organization treats its people. Total rewards, wellbeing programs, and individualized career paths are not just benefits—they are differentiators. Kelly reinforces that talent acquisition leaders must invest in their own teams and build peer networks across the industry. Collaboration, not isolation, will define success in the years ahead. Final Advice for TA Leaders • Plug into your national healthcare TA network • Invest in your people • Build internal pipelines early • Stay agile • Embrace change proactively The future of healthcare talent acquisition will belong to leaders who move early, think long-term, and bring others with them. From Our Sponsor(s)...Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefitsElevate your employee benefits while managing costs.

In a world that constantly pressures men to outsource responsibility, comfort has become a substitute for competence and dependence is sold as safety. But sovereignty isn't something given to you by institutions, culture, or circumstance. It's secured through discipline, ownership, and a commitment to lead yourself first. In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to secure your sovereignty—mentally, physically, financially, and morally—so no one else gets to dictate the terms of your life. My guest today, Ian Wendt, joins me for a powerful conversation on reclaiming authority over your decisions, your time, and your future. We dig into the hidden trade-offs men make when they surrender control, the systems that quietly erode independence, and the practical steps required to stand firm as a self-governed man in an increasingly unstable world. This isn't about rebellion, it's about responsibility. If you're serious about protecting what you've built and leading with clarity and conviction, this is a conversation you need to hear.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Rachel sits down with Dr. Bisleen Attli, a naturopathic doctor and mental wellness expert, who has built a fast-growing, deeply engaged audience by combining nervous system education, real-life experience, and an intentional content strategy. After navigating her own mental health challenges and transitioning from patient to practitioner, Dr. Bisleen has grown a thriving clinical practice and a community of over 200,000 followers without chasing trends or virality. Together, they unpack the intersection of mental health, nervous system regulation, and sustainable creator growth. Dr. Bisleen shares her journey from being prescribed “happy pills” as a teenager to taking her health into her own hands, discovering naturopathic medicine, and ultimately using social media as a tool to scale impact, not just views. Rachel and Dr. Bisleen break down why overachieving doesn't fix burnout, how creators unknowingly dysregulate their nervous systems, and why boredom, consistency, and capacity are critical to long-term success. They explore the realities of building a professional brand online, balancing credibility with authenticity, and why being booked and busy matters more than going viral. This conversation dives deep into practical creator strategy, including finding your niche through experimentation, building authority-driven content, creating simple repeatable formats, mastering hooks, and using intentional systems to grow both a platform and a business. Dr. Bisleen also shares how a simple Mental Health Month content series sparked explosive growth and what creators can learn from it. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn't come from doing everything, but from doing the right things well. If you're a creator, professional, or entrepreneur looking to build sustainably, regulate your nervous system, and grow with purpose, this episode will completely shift how you think about content, consistency, and success.

What if the reason your business feels overwhelming isn't a lack of hustle—but a lack of support? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, Kyle Gray sits down with business coach and outsourcing expert Kirsten Graham to unpack why so many entrepreneurs burn out trying to do everything themselves—and how the right kind of support can completely transform both your business and your life.

Josh Brake shares metaphors and other ethical considerations regarding AI on Episode 607 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode “When you’re moving fast, it’s really easy to do things unreflectively and to make a poor decision without even realizing it.” -Josh Brake “The special thing about bicycles, at least in their non-electronic versions, is that they’re totally human-powered. So it’s all based on the energy that you put in, and it’s just transforming that energy, to make you more efficient and be able to move faster.” -Josh Brake “When you have something like an E bike, that augmentation can be used in a variety of different ways, so it can be used to actually extend your capacity.” -Josh Brake “It’s really this question about what’s the intention that you’re bringing to the technology when you come to the tool, what are the questions that you’re asking? And fundamentally, it’s a question of purpose and intention. Why are you using this?” -Josh Brake Resources An E-Bike for the Mind: E-Bikes and What They Can Teach Us About AI, by Josh Brake I Grew Up Oblivious About Grades. It Ruined Me.

Pulled into violence and survival politics at an early age, Sonny breaks down what it really takes to make it through long prison sentences, the fear, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way behind bars.

I want to be wild and uninhibited, and the sort of lover men think about for the rest of their lives.

Ryan Susanna is the VP of Sales at LogiSense, where he helps telecom, IoT, and SaaS companies operationalize complex usage-based and hybrid pricing models. With more than two decades in monetization, automation, and billing infrastructure, Ryan didn't come up through pricing theory—he came up through execution. His work sits at the intersection of pricing ideas and the systems required to make those ideas real at scale. In this episode, Ryan breaks down why billing platforms quietly shape—and sometimes constrain—pricing innovation, what usage-based pricing actually looks like in practice, why many AI pricing models default to credits, and the single pricing habit he believes every company must adopt: testing pricing ideas in isolation before scaling them across the business.   Why You Have to Check Out This Episode: Understand why pricing innovation fails after approval—and how billing and monetization systems quietly block execution. Learn which modern pricing models die first in rigid systems (usage-based, high-watermark, hybrid, credits). Discover how to test pricing ideas safely without risking your entire go-to-market motion.   "Find an isolated way to test your pricing hypothesis before you boil the ocean for your entire motion."  — Ryan Susanna   Topics Covered: 02:00 – From Physics to Monetization (By Accident). How Ryan's background in physics, computer science, and sales led him into billing systems—and why monetization sits closer to pricing than most teams admit. 04:00 – "Why Should Pricing Care About Billing?" Mark challenges the assumption that billing is just collecting money. Ryan explains how billing systems determine which pricing models are even possible. 07:00 – High-Watermark Pricing Explained. Charging based on peak concurrent usage—not total usage—and why this better reflects customer value in many SaaS and telco models. 08:30 – Earned Discounts and Hybrid Usage Models. How companies combine multiple usage metrics to guide behavior while protecting margins. 14:00 – Meter Everything (Even If You Don't Charge for It). Ryan explains why future pricing decisions depend on historical usage data you may not even know you need yet. 19:00 – Credits vs. Value-Based Pricing. Mark reframes credits as a payment mechanism—not a pricing model—and explains why value correlation matters. 23:00 – The Pricing Test Most Companies Skip. Why executives roll out pricing changes globally—and how isolated testing could prevent costly mistakes. 25:00 – Final Advice for Pricing Leaders. Ryan's core message: pricing strategy without monetization readiness is just theory.   Key Takeaways: "You could dream up any pricing scenario if you want, but if you can't operationalize it at scale, you are setting yourself up for failure." – Ryan Susanna "Billing systems quietly decide which pricing models you're allowed to use." – Ryan Susanna "If you pick a model and you have the same model forever, then it will not appear hard for you—because it's what you've always done. What's hard is change." – Ryan Susanna   People / Resources Mentioned: LogiSense – Monetization and billing platform enabling complex usage-based pricing OpenAI – Referenced in the context of AI credit-based pricing models Databricks – Example of proprietary credit-based pricing (DBUs) Slack – Example of active-user pricing metrics   Connect with Ryan Susanna: Email: rsusanna@logisense.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryansusanna/   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Grab our Million Dollar Standards checklist that Chelsea uses here: https://bit.ly/p-million-dollar-standard-checklist If you think meaningful growth requires a big city, a big budget, or perfect timing - this episode will make you rethink what's actually possible. In this episode, Doza sits down with Chelsea… a 23-year-old Pilates studio owner in regional South Australia - who grew her studio from 79 to 250 paying members in just 3 months. No ads. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just the right offer, a clearly defined avatar, consistent content, and a Sell-By-Chat system - paired with a decision most owners avoid: to stop dabbling and go all in. This is a raw breakdown of what actually changed, what Chelsea stopped doing, and the systems that turned burnout and stagnation into momentum. Here's what we're covering: • How Chelsea grew from 79 → 250 members in 90 days in a regional town • Why trying to market to everyone made her invisible - and what changed when she picked one avatar • The moment she ditched free trials (and why sales got easier overnight) • Why Gen Z avoids phone calls - and how Sell-By-Chat became her biggest advantage • How trust built through content turns DMs into memberships • The mindset shift from “this is comfortable” to “I'd regret staying here” • Why raising prices attracted better members, not fewer • How to unlock lead flow without ads or complicated funnels • The systems that removed panic, burnout, and emotional cancellations • What “going pro” actually looks like at 23 - standards, numbers, and discipline • Why most owners stay stuck at the same revenue level (and how to break through it) • The uncomfortable truth: if you won't do the hard work, neither will your members If you're stuck, plateaued, or quietly burning out while telling yourself “this is just part of it” - this episode is for you.

What's up, elk hunters! This week I'm sitting down with Jace Guymon, and holy crap—talk about a banner year. This guy drew a Nevada late rifle tag AND a Utah late archery tag in the same season, with hunt dates less than a week apart. Yeah, you read that right. Jace takes us through the entire journey of crushing a 394" bull on his Nevada hunt opening morning, then immediately pivoting to Utah where he arrows a massive late-season giant. We're talking about hunting two of the most coveted elk tags in the West back-to-back, and somehow making it all come together. What I love about this episode is how raw and honest Jace is about the process. He'd never even been to Nevada before, had minimal scouting time because of his guiding schedule, and still managed to execute on both hunts. We dive deep into his e-scouting strategy, why he focuses on covering massive amounts of country from glassing knobs, and how being aggressive—like actually jogging to close the distance on bulls—has been the key to his success. We also get into some real tactical stuff about late-season elk hunting: why north-facing slopes matter more than you think, how to move through crunchy snow without spooking bulls, and why patience behind the glass is non-negotiable this time of year. Plus, Jace drops some truth bombs about physical fitness and why most hunters aren't aggressive enough when it matters. Whether you're chasing premium tags or just trying to become a better late-season elk hunter, this episode is packed with actionable advice from a guy who's been guiding for years and knows how to close the deal when the pressure's on. Let's get into it. Episode Sponsors Tricer Tripods - Fast, light, and simple—that's what Tricer is all about.

Most hunters wait too long to make a move, trying to let situations "develop" when they should be jogging uphill to close distance. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and even a 2% chance of success is better than watching a bull walk away at dark. The difference between successful guides and struggling clients often comes down to one thing: guides move FAST when it's time to move. North-Facing Slopes Are Critical for Late Season Bulls - While everyone focuses on south-facing slopes for feeding, mature bulls in late season are often bedded on north slopes where they can stay cool in their thick winter coats. Jace actually prioritizes glassing north-facing slopes because bulls will be bedded in cover there, whereas south slopes are easier to scan quickly. Look for trails leading over ridgelines to north-facing timber—that's where the big bulls are hiding. Patience Behind the Glass Will Outperform Covering Ground - Late season success comes down to being comfortable sitting on a glassing knob for 4+ hours straight. Bulls bedded in junipers disappear completely—you can scan right over a 400" bull for 45 minutes until he finally stands up. The difference between 0% success units and killing giants often isn't location or fitness—it's the willingness to sit and actually GLASS rather than covering ground. Pick big vantage points where you can see maximum country and commit to them.

Leo Leonardo is a Rhode Island native who got caught up in the system at a young age, facing repeated arrests that pushed him out of school and into the workforce—before turning to selling drugs when legitimate options fell apart. His path led to a federal drug case, time in both state and federal prison, and some of the harshest consequences behind the walls, including segregation (SEG) and maximum-security prison after continued trouble inside. After his release, Leo struggled to stay straight and was hit with additional gun charges, showing how hard it is to break cycles once the system has its grip. In this raw true-crime interview, Leo breaks down how the feds built their case, what life is really like in max prison and SEG, and the long-term consequences of early choices—an unfiltered look at crime, punishment, and life after prison. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #DrugRing #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrison #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #ExCon #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
