Podcasts about five questions

Setting Effective Limits: A Conversation About SLIC Solutions for ConflictBill Eddy and Megan Hunter welcome co-author Ekaterina Ricci to discuss their new book "SLIC Solutions for Conflict," exploring practical approaches to setting limits and consequences with individuals who demonstrate challenging behaviors.The episode introduces the "two and a half steps" approach: establishing clear boundaries, implementing consequences, and selectively using empathy, attention, and respect (EAR) statements. Traditional empathy-focused approaches may sometimes enable rather than resolve difficult situations, particularly with individuals who demonstrate manipulative behaviors.Bill Eddy outlines five crucial questions for establishing consequences: Is it proportional? Have positive consequences been considered? Is it safe? Are you prepared to enforce it? Do you need assistance?Questions we answer: How can empathy make conflict worse? Why is advance preparation important? How does social media impact younger generations' ability to set boundaries? When should you seek help imposing consequences?Whether managing professional relationships, navigating family dynamics, or maintaining personal boundaries, this episode provides practical tools for setting effective limits while maintaining respect and safety. Learn how preparation, practice, and proper timing can help you implement boundaries with confidence.Additional ResourcesWatch this episode on YouTube!Expert PublicationsSLIC Solutions for Conflict: Setting Limits & Imposing Consequences in 2 1/2 StepsHigh-Conflict TrainingUnderstanding & Managing High-Conflict TrainingPersonal DevelopmentConflict Influencer Group Class - starts January 21New Ways for Couples: Online Class + CoachingProfessional DevelopmentFamily Law Consultation Group with Bill Eddy - starts March 2026Connect With UsVisit High Conflict Institute: highconflictinstitute.comSubmit questions for Bill and MeganBrowse our complete collection of books and resources in our online store—available in print and e-book formatsFind these show notes and all past episode notes on our websiteImportant NoticeOur discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

"It takes a long time to build these deep connections that people need to be successful in real estate."  Connection is as powerful of a tool to the real estate investment world as real estate itself.

What can be done to help others and leave room for your own success in the process?  In this exclusive interview with Mario Lamarre, the conversation dives deep into the power of networking events through the lens of Mario's own networking event--- Real Estate Investor Summit at Sea, a unique networking opportunity which takes place on a cruise ship. Personal anecdotes are shared, as well as the mindsets which push them to keep innovating.

In this special episode of Real Talk for Real Fundraisers, Jeff Schreifels is joined by Christopher Beck—Associate Director of Individual and Planned Giving at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and a 20-year fundraising veteran—as a new co-host for an ongoing 2026 series centered on equity, inclusion, and the real-world challenges facing fundraisers of color. This conversation centers around the practical, financial, and strategic realities of a sector that is already changing faster than many organizations are prepared for. Together, Jeff and Christopher dig into five foundational questions that will guide the series ahead, from who actually holds decision-making power inside non-profit organizations to the measurable revenue impact of building a more diverse donor base. With the great wealth transfer underway, next-generation donors on the rise, and communities of color holding more philanthropic power than ever before, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at what's at stake and what's possible for organizations willing to adapt.  It's an honest, forward-looking conversation about where fundraising is headed and how leaders can meet the moment without losing sight of relationships, mission, or results. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… The single biggest equity barrier limiting revenue potential in most fundraising offices, and why homogeneity in decision-making is a financial risk The business case for donor diversification, including why engaging Latinx, Asian American, African American, LGBTQ+, and next-gen donors is essential for long-term growth How inclusive internal culture directly impacts donor retention, staff turnover, and relationship continuity A five-year forecast comparing equity-embracing organizations with those that resist change, and why the gap between them will continue to widen  Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey. We believe that the key to transformative fundraising is a disciplined system and structure, trusted accountability, persistence, and a bit of fun. We specialize in mid-level fundraising, major gifts, and planned giving, helping our clients to develop compelling donor offers and to focus on strategic leadership and organizational development.

Who is Brian?Brian Parana is no stranger to the turning points that come in midlife. At 42, he's the dedicated husband of his high school sweetheart and the proud father of four—juggling the joys and challenges that come with two high schoolers and two middle schoolers, ages 10 to 15. With 15 years as a self-employed professional and over 23 years in the health industry, Brian has seen firsthand what so many entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders experience: the demands of life and responsibility often sneak up, and self-care takes a back seat. His journey reflects the universal realization that reaching 40, 45, or 50 doesn't always look or feel as expected—prompting him to help others redefine what thriving in midlife can truly mean.Key Takeaways00:00 Avoiding Midlife Crisis: Enhance Life05:05 Finding Balance Amid Life's Chaos08:04 “Rice 72: Three-Day Fat Loss”11:50 “Developing Habits for Growth”13:30 “1% Improvements for Massive Success”17:32 “Health Choices Over Consequences”20:40 Appreciative Farewell Message_________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at www.systemise.me/subscribeFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

Five questions over coffee. I have my coffee monkey here. My guest Brian, Coach Brian Piranha is here with me. He has his coffee with espresso, with.Brian Parana [00:00:49]:Some seltzer water and some oat milk.Stuart Webb [00:00:52]:Coach BRIAN that's a brilliant, brilliant recipe. Thank you for that. So Brian is a, is a, is a health and well being expert, an athlete, now a coach who helps business leaders, people who are trying to run their businesses and forget that they need to remain healthy to run their business, do better with both. So Coach Ryan, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. Looking forward to this conversation and really looking forward to hearing how you can help us.Brian Parana [00:01:27]:I'm excited to be here. I'm looking forward to our five questions and the insights that I can bring, the value and some ideal takeaways for our guests that are listening in.Stuart Webb [00:01:37]:That's what we want to hear. So let's start with that first question. I like to always start with just give us a little bit of an oversight of the sort of person you're trying to help. What are the problems that they have in their life that might help them identify that you're currently talking to them, right.Brian Parana [00:01:55]:What happens when we reach our mid-40s? There's that term of a midlife crisis, right. I'm 42, I've married my high school sweetheart, we're 19 years in. We have four kids, two high schoolers, two middle schools, three boys and girls, 15 to 10. And I've been self employed for 15 years and been in the health industry for 23 or something. I've seen it time and again. Is that people, business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders, everyone ends up running into this at some point where the responsibilities of their life caught up to them. In a sense, they realize they're not taking care of themselves and their body. And 40, 45, 50 isn't what was expected when they got there, right.Brian Parana [00:02:44]:They're on their way to retirement or they got money in the bank or the house or whatever this stuff, but when they see themselves in the mirror, they just their waistlines expanding. They don't have the confidence in their, their workloads that they once had. There's fatigue, the lack of productivity. They feel half a step behind or maybe in one or two instead. And that's the type of person that I'm coming to the marketplace to meet is to get that priority. Let's not have a midlife crisis where we potentially disrupt some things in life. Let's actually Enhance what life has and be even more productive by taking care of yourself first to then have the energy, the resources, the capacity to keep pace with all the responsibilities that you are now in charge of.Stuart Webb [00:03:35]:So let's talk a little bit about maybe there's somebody out there at the moment thinking, hey, this guy, this guy's talking to me. What do you think they'd be able to recognize in terms of the things they tried? You know, the health kicks that go on, the act, the diet, which constantly never seems to work. I mean, they may even be finding the soul at the moment, sitting there looking at yet another diet book or even some other ways of trying to enhance this. And I think what you're trying to say is that's not always all of the solution, is it?Brian Parana [00:04:06]:No, no, definitely not. Oftentimes we've been taught through marketing, through just literal time for, or the, the, the diet industry really started in the 1980s or so and 90s and, and continued on if you, I, I grew up in that and has infiltrated every single person that I am in association with and what I, who I've worked with for years, restriction. There's these hard protocols that they have to follow. It often lines up with more of a leader type personality where they have to feel that the grind, the hustle. They have things that have to be hard. Those are, they have to cut out, restrict all that. And I've been in a five pound weight range for decades. Obviously it's what I do by profession and I should look and be the part to lead those people.Brian Parana [00:05:05]:But with four kids, with self employment, with all these, these obstacles that just show up in everyday life, there is a way to find some balance. To have some ice cream after a kid's soccer game or after a school event, or have a small sliver of cake at a birthday party because I mean, what weekend do people not have birthdays, especially if they have four kids or something, right? There's just always those opportunities to potentially fall off track and then next, you know, we'll start again on Monday. Well, Stuart, today's Wednesday or Tuesday. It's Tuesday that we're recording this. There's a lot of sloppiness that can, that can be created there and cause you to be setting yourself back a significant amount. We need to find a level of balance of, with some flexibility, some moderation in a way that creates a lifestyle that they can actually live. What we do in two weeks, we do in two months, we do in two years. And finding that balance is so important.Brian Parana [00:06:04]:And that that's where I meet people every single day.Stuart Webb [00:06:09]:And I think you've got a very valid point then Brian, because you know, it's if, if you are having to force yourself into something, if you're telling yourself that you can only achieve this by constant denial, you can only do this by having to go to the gym when you don't really feel, feel like it because you've got other concerns, you've got the family to worry about things like that. It becomes more and more difficult to actually stick with something like this, doesn't it? I mean if the only time you ever get any pleasure is when you get that little bit of ice cream or that small amount of cake at a birthday party and suddenly you deny that, it just becomes impossible to stick to anything that you really, really want to do. You have to link it to something that's more than that, right?Brian Parana [00:06:50]:It's just same thing with business. If you have to grind to grow a business, it's going to fail at some point because whether the motivation, the willpower, the lack of consistently putting out or say a high marketing budget, if you one, one or five months go by and you haven't produced the outcomes to pay for that, now you're in the red and things aren't going well for the business because it's at such a high demand of say accuracy or focus or the ROI needs to be right on point there.Stuart Webb [00:07:26]:So I've got a really. You've got a special offer that I think that the audience is going to be really interested in. This I will be putting into our vault. So if you go to www.systemize.me free stock you, you'll get the details of exactly how Brian can help this coach. Brian, tell us how can you help us to get through some of these problems?Brian Parana [00:07:52]:Yeah, well say the free stuff thing, right? I have a.Stuart Webb [00:07:56]:That's the one. Anything we valuable offers. Valuable free stuff. That's what we want to give to people here. Pay it forward.Brian Parana [00:08:04]:We have a, a we're in the, the mega information, right? Maybe I could coin that. The mega information Time of our lives, right? And with ChatGPT and all you can get a meal plan, you can get a workout, you can do all these things. And what I have, my free stuff would be what I call the rice 72. It's just a three day fat loss protocol that has food, that has nutrition, that has some mindset things to help reset from the brain. Because it all starts here. And in that you get step by step specific things that we know and we've heard so much. But the point is it has to be done. So whether there's email accountability, there's actual text engagement with me as well.Brian Parana [00:08:52]:If you do get the free thing, the Rise 72, you'll be able to have some level of accountability. And that's what I want to bring into my world to. To others is create an experience, a transformative experience. Not just, hey, here's the meal plan that you're supposed to eat, but it's got to be more because nobody I the one of two things. I'm busy. Every single person, I think has always said that. And they usually say it's in all cats B, U S Y with multiple exclamation points after. That's how they describe their life.Brian Parana [00:09:27]:And I get it. I'm busy too. But I still have found a way to prioritize my health.Stuart Webb [00:09:32]:Yeah.Brian Parana [00:09:33]:So let's find a way to do that for you. The other thing is that they. So they're. They're busy and they always want to just jump in with. With both heels, in a sense. And we have to find those small little pivot points to again create that sustainability. And through talking with thousands of people over the last 20 years, so many conversations, we need to. To be able to do the things that we already know we need to do.Brian Parana [00:10:09]:And that's a high level of radical accountability I want to bring to.Stuart Webb [00:10:14]:Yeah. And it's about finding that way of, as you say, prioritizing using the. Using triggers. You know, one of the things I've often heard that.Brian Parana [00:10:22]:Yes.Stuart Webb [00:10:23]:One of the great ways of sort of building your. You're building this sort of thing in as you're talking about mindset is linking it to pleasure. You know, yes, you're going to go for a, for a run, but you're going to go for a run in the outside and listen to your favorite podcast or whatever it is, this podcast. So. And so you actually sort of. And you, you. You have to set yourself up with. The only time I listen to the podcast is when I'm going for the run or when I'm going for the walk.Stuart Webb [00:10:49]:And so that you get that sort of mindset shift. If it's not something hard, it becomes a pleasure to do some of this stuff.Brian Parana [00:10:55]:Right, Exactly. And, and that's a huge gap where people are. An example would be, say, the 75 hard. It's a very strong reset accountability protocol where you have to work out twice a day, you got to drink a gallon of water, you have some you got to read a book. All these things are great. Let's do 75 hard on your own terms. That makes it so that on day 76 or day 2000, you're still doing the things. Yeah, it's my job to help figure that out.Stuart Webb [00:11:28]:Brilliant. Love it. Brian, you've gone to the stage where you understand exactly how this works. Was there a book or a program or something that actually sort of allowed you to understand how to get that sort of mindset, that body work, everything sort of coming together, which is how you explain it to people.Brian Parana [00:11:50]:The book that comes off top of my head is there's so many personal development things I've done. I actually went to Tony Robbins seminars, I was a fire walker, I did it twice. And so many other different certifications and all that. I guess when it all comes said and done, we, we've heard it again a million times. Is that the, the James Clears is a really easy that everyone we know atomic habits. How do we build habits 1% better at a time? We take these small incremental, consistent steps to get us and we consistently keep doing that. And, and the other thing is to understand the analogy that is used in there as well. An ice cube melting at 22 degrees, it's not going to melt.Brian Parana [00:12:36]:At 23, it's not going to melt. At 29, it's not melting. At 32, it might start to melt. At 33, it's melting, it will take a while. At 40, it's melted. It's definitely on its way. And today in Miami in July, it's done melted. You know, the moment it touched the ground, even maybe on the way down to the ground, it's already evaporated because it's so hot.Brian Parana [00:13:00]:And in the beginning of these changes, even just in business, we can tie it back to business since that's who's listening. In the beginning of the business, it was so small and incremental and you didn't see those, those 1 degree changes over time. But then you built that momentum and all of a sudden you have a business with employees and it's successful and all of a sudden you're wow, I don't have time for myself. But that 1% better is going to be the key thing to build consistency into your life.Stuart Webb [00:13:30]:I'm a, I'm a great fan of somebody you may or may not have heard of a guy called David Brailsbridge who was the coach of the Great Britain cycling team. And he was a very great fan of sort of 1% improvements and he was looking at 1% improvement, improvements all the time, which took the British cycling team to the top of the world. And the reason that he did it was because he was looking at tiny, tiny changes every single time they raced, to the extent that he started sending the team out to meetings with their own pillow so that they got a slightly better night's sleep the night before they raced. It really does take tiny, tiny changes to produce a massive result, doesn't it? But it has to be consistent. It has to be continuous. You can't just do it once and then hope it's all gone back to it. You know, it's gonna be easy from that. You make that tiny change, but you have to continue to make that change.Stuart Webb [00:14:22]:You need the accountability to do it.Brian Parana [00:14:24]:Yeah. KPIs for ROIs, right? In the business world, we have those and these SOPs to get to the ROIs that we want to go, but it has to be done every day. Yeah. Same thing in our body. We need to. These are basic. We need to move so much. We need to drink our water, get enough sleep.Brian Parana [00:14:46]:We need to eat healthy food. Those are basic tenets of taking care of yourself and living in a healthy body that's energetic and you feel confident in and you fit in your clothes in. But we let distraction take us away.Stuart Webb [00:15:01]:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian, there must be one question that you're left at the moment thinking he's still hanging on to the really critical one, that one question that we need to sort of get to get to, and I should ask it, but I obviously don't know what it is. So what is the question that you would have liked me to have asked by now, which I obviously haven't. And then obviously, as you know the answer, you better answer it for us, otherwise it'll never get answered.Brian Parana [00:15:27]:I thought long and hard on this. And what is the true ROI of taking care of yourself and your health?Stuart Webb [00:15:34]:Oh, that is a good question. I like that.Brian Parana [00:15:37]:Huh? I thought about it a little bit. Make sure it was juicy. What is it? People at first just think, oh, I'm at a healthy body weight, or I can. I don't fall asleep in the middle of the day anymore. Or I can be productive at work, or I can go one meeting to the next to the next, or when I come home, I can engage with my family and children. Those are all really important things. But we. One thing is.Brian Parana [00:16:03]:Is say the confidence that you have, if you aren't in a healthy body, then you don't necessarily have the confidence that you think that you're portraying when you go into a meeting, right. Even this is a good old Tony Robbins example. But I'm standing here, but I can take a big deep breath in and, and I can get up here. All of a sudden I'm, I'm just 1% taller in a sense, but I am. It's been multiplied. It's 10x in my energy flow, my breath. I can get oxygen in my lungs and I can start to think clearly. And people notice that and they see it, they can feel that confidence and that energy coming from.Brian Parana [00:16:48]:And, and you don't know that you're walking around like this all day. You might feel the same, but it's, there's a difference. So what does that mean? That means that we can, if the true ROI of a healthy body is better connection with those around in your, your, your family circle, your social circles, how you show up at work and lead. We want that lead. What type of ability are you to be able to produce deals and make things happen in your career? These are all big, big ROIs that can happen. And you don't. The, the thing that you don't see. And I love sharing this with my four kids, especially my oldest right now, because he's teenage for sure, at 15, almost 16.Brian Parana [00:17:32]:But you choose your actions, but you don't choose your consequences. Therefore, if you're not taking care of your health in the 40s, you might have a heart attack by your 50. Hey, I'm so glad that you're retiring as a millionaire or whatever, but you're going to spend all of it on health care and assisted living and having someone wipe your butt because, because you have a disease, right? We have, everyone has lots of problems until they have a significant health problem, then we only have one problem. And everything else fades quickly because you have diabetes, you've had a heart attack, there's a stroke, there's cancer, there's all these, these things that are trying to kill us. And health is the most easy, say, almost free thing to do outside of your time. That you can get a huge ROI for now, but also into the future.Stuart Webb [00:18:24]:That's absolutely brilliant. And if nobody, if nobody takes anything away from this, they should take away the fact that doing something for their future is actually looking after their kids, their grandkids, their great grandkids. You know, you need to be around for those. I'm going to go back. You need to come on to systemize me free. Go find out about what Brian has been talking about, talking to us about today and make sure that you understand exactly how somebody like Brian can really help you to focus, to make sure that you are available to the future. And I'm going to put in my own little request to you, please. I send out an email just, just once a week with who's coming up on the podcast and you can come on and watch the live stream, ask questions.Stuart Webb [00:19:15]:If you want to please come onto the newsletter list.

Is your social media feed overflowing with New Year's resolutions and tips to optimize your life? This mindset can feel overwhelming, so instead of pushing for the “perfect” 2026, I'm offering something else in this episode: five questions I return to again and again to recalibrate my relationship with myself. These questions aren't about productivity or self-improvement. They're an invitation to unlearn good girl conditioning, step out of self-abandonment, and choose a way of living that actually feels like yours. Here's what I cover:How women's socialization continues to shape our choices and behaviorsWhat passivity actually looks like when your desires and preferences go unspokenWhy overworking isn't just physical labor, but emotional, relational, and mental labor tooHow self-abandonment is at the core of people pleasing and putting yourself lastWhy joy, fun, and play can be nourishment instead of something you earn after workFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Mary & Blake recap and give their reaction to episode 1.05 of Outlander: Blood of My Blood, entitled "Needfire" They break down Ellen being crowned May Queen while secretly handfasting with Brian (and yes… doing the business in a church), the show's gorgeous "hands" visual motif, and why this episode finally feels like classic early-Outlander magic again. Meanwhile, Julia and Henry keep missing each other by inches, Davina detonates the pregnancy truth, Lord Lovett gets nastier, and Murtagh—day-drunk and heartbroken—pulls the most catastrophic "wrong name" slip possible. Plus: the Stone of Destiny, the creepy prophecy vibes (two yolks, anyone?), and Blake's Outlandish Theory of the Week about a prophecy misread that could be pointing straight at Claire + Jamie. And of course, Five Questions closes it out with bonfire drinks, Beltane vs. Fourth of July chaos, and Mary's absolutely unhinged candy-cane party confession. Also in this episode: Beltane as a turning-point episode: liminal, smoky, romantic, and loaded with consequences Ellen & Brian fully ignite: handfasting, passion, and why their bond finally clicks Murtagh's spiral: rejection, humiliation, and the "Ellen" slip heard 'round the Highlands Julia's mounting danger: the pregnancy reveal, Davina's heartbreak, and Lovett's threats The witchy woman & prophecy: double-yolk symbolism, Claire callouts, and uneasy foreshadowing Stone of Destiny talk: myth, destiny, and whether the show is winking at the parent series Segments you love: Kilt Ratings, BomB Impact, Good/Bad/Great, Outlandish Theory, and Five Questions   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Welcome to the first episode of Leading You for 2026. This episode invites you to pause before you plan and intentionally design how you want to lead yourself into the new year. January offers a rare moment of stillness — quieter, slower mornings and the chance to breathe before the pace accelerates. It’s the ideal time to reset your mindset, reconnect with what matters and create a vision for the year that feels aligned, spacious and purposeful. Rather than rushing into goals or structure, this episode focuses on intention. You’ll hear how I create my own 2026 “canvas” using colour, space and symbolism, and why I’ve shifted from choosing a single word to anchoring myself with a guiding statement. This approach helps you show up with clarity, confidence and calm, especially as the world continues to shift rapidly through technology, AI and rising expectations. Across the conversation, I share five powerful questions to help you design your year with intention, deepen your self-awareness and strengthen your self-leadership. These questions will support you to reconnect with your values, focus your energy and make choices that align with the woman and leader you want to become. If you want 2026 to feel more grounded and more meaningful, this episode gives you the framework to start. Key Takeaways January is the perfect pause to reset, breathe and reconnect before the year begins in full. Your 2026 “canvas” reflects who you choose to be, not just what you plan to do. A guiding sentence can anchor your behaviour more powerfully than a single word. White space matters - in your schedule, in your thinking and in your leadership. Self-leadership is essential as the world accelerates through AI and constant change. Asking intentional questions expands clarity without overwhelm.

As the year winds down, I want to share an end-of-year message for practical SaaS founders who want to make better progress in 2026. Based on my recent conversations with more than 40 CEOs in my Practical Founders peer groups, it's clear that growth rates alone don't define whether it was a "good" year. Founders experienced very different outcomes—and very different feelings about them. In this episode, I walk through five practical questions I believe founders should ask as they look ahead to 2026 (or their next quarter). These questions focus on whether you're working on the right hard things, what you're deliberately changing next, what help you actually need, whether you have enough cushion in the business, and the story you're telling yourself and your team about progress. This isn't about templates, quick-fixes, hype, or perfect planning. It's about making steady progress on the hardest, most important things in your business—while staying independent and resilient.  Success isn't final and failure isn't fatal. What matters is whether you keep going—and keep making progress. If you're still here, still building, still learning—you're doing something right. I respect practical founders who choose independence, solve real problems, and do hard things year after year. Key Takeaways Progress Over Growth Rates - What matters is whether you moved the hardest, most important parts of your business. Focus Is a Force Multiplier - Trying many things without concentration is why most initiatives stall. Companies Mirror Their Founders - The company's strengths and weaknesses often mirror the founder's. Cushion Creates Resilience - Cash, energy, and upsides protect businesses when headwinds inevitably appear. You Make It Up - How you frame last year's results shapes decisions, morale, and alignment. Quote from Greg Head, founder of Practical Founders "Everybody's doing really hard things who are practical startup founders. I know you are too. The question isn't about what the perfect growth rate or planning process is for you right now. The question is, are you lined up to actually do enough of the most important hard things in your business next year? Are you really set up to make the kind of progress you want along the bigger vision you have for the company? There are all kinds of ways to do it. You can go fast or slow, or it could be an invest year, a rebuild year, or a steady year. You can choose your growth rate, your profitability, and all of that.  "You get to do it your way. You've bought your independence, or you are paying for it the hard way. There's no one right way to do all of this, if you're making big progress and getting better every year in the eyes of your customers, employees, and the owners."

In this episode of Five Questions, Five Answers, Birgit Matthiesen and Jessica DiPietro explore the historical context and implications of the Nixon Shock and the Trade Expansion Act, focusing on Section 232 investigations and their impact on US trade policy. Birgit and Jessica discuss the complexities of these investigations, the broad scope of tariffs, and the importance of understanding product classifications and valuations. They also look ahead to the future of Section 232 actions and the need for companies to stay informed and prepared for potential trade remedy actions in 2026. Takeaways • Know that Section 232 investigations can be initiated by multiple actors, including the president and Congress. • Anticipate wide investigative scopes that can sweep in diverse products and complicate compliance. • Monitor Federal Register notices to stay current on tariff actions and scope changes. • Note that the current Administration frames economic security as national security. • Track the rising number of Section 232 investigations as a signal of policy direction. • Prepare proactively by assessing and managing your company's tariff exposure.

Send us a textBetrayal doesn't just bruise the heart; it shakes identity, confidence, and the story you tell about who you are. Today I walk through the five questions men ask most after a partner's affair—why they didn't see it, whether they were “enough,” how to decide to stay or leave, what to do with explosive anger, and how to show up for kids while hurting. I share a clear, compassionate path that separates your worth from your partner's choices and uses values alignment as the North Star for every next step.We unpack how the brain can blindside you to protect against what feels unsafe to see, and why that isn't weakness—it's commitment. From there, I offer a simple decision framework: slow down, stabilize your body, then evaluate actions over words. Is there accountability, remorse, transparency, and a real plan to rebuild trust? We challenge common traps like fix-it mode, fear of judgment, and clinging to the fantasy of what the relationship was supposed to be.Anger gets a practical toolkit too. You'll learn how to move it safely through breathwork, grounding, strength training, and journaling, then trace it to the softer layers underneath—grief, fear, disappointment—so it no longer runs the room. For fathers, I outline how to be steady without pretending: name feelings, keep adult details private, protect routines, and reassure safety. Finally, I make the case for support over secrecy—coaches, therapists, and trusted friends—because DIY recovery keeps you stuck while community pulls you forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more men find real help after infidelity.

So welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. I'm here with Kyle Bentley Beltly. Sorry, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get that wrong. Kyle. Apologies. Kyle Beltley.Stuart Webb [00:00:22]:Kyle is the owner of ProActive CPA. Kyle is going to talk to us about some really interesting things about how we manage our finances, manage tax, etc. Carl, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. I hope you've got your coffee in front of you today.Kyle Beltle [00:00:38]:Ready to go.Stuart Webb [00:00:39]:Terrific mug, terrific mug. Let's, let's talk briefly about how you're, who is, who is the person you're trying to help? What's the problem they've got? So that we can sort of, as we were listening to you describe this, we begin to get a sense of is this me that Kyle is talking about?Kyle Beltle [00:01:00]:Sure, sure. So my clients are professional coaches and consultants running businesses that are generating high six figures of sales and they're people who are looking to buy back their time. I would say that the primary issue that people come to me with and I help them solve, it's kind of a twofold. It's first off, it's what I like to call tax fomo, fear of missing out, and it's analysis paralysis. So with the tax fomo, we are inundated with social media posts on tax tips, our neighbors giving us tax tips, our crazy uncle at the family dinner is giving us. And there's this fear that I'm missing out on these deductions that everybody else knows about. But where do I even, where do I even get started? You know, this, this analysis paralysis. And a great example of this is I just started working with a client there and as we were getting ready for our kickoff meeting, he said, I hope you don't mind, I just jotted down a few thoughts.Kyle Beltle [00:02:10]:Well, so Stewart, this guy had composed this entire Google Doc of just all the things that he'd been coming across. And you know, does this apply to me? Where do I start? And so what I do with my clients is distill all that into a crystal clear tax strategy plan for them where they know, a, this applies to me, B, this is how to take advantage of it, and C, here's the savings I'm going to get from it.Stuart Webb [00:02:38]:So let's just, let's try and explore a little bit then on what are the things. I mean, that guy obviously had ideas about what he wanted to do, the problems that he knew had. He Tried anything. What were the things he tried to do to overcome this problem before turning to Kyle and say, carl, can you help me?Kyle Beltle [00:02:57]:So fortunately he hadn't tried anything and sadly that's not always the case. I had a client, I'll call Ian, who just started working with me the beginning of this year and he had heard, real estate's a great investment. I'm going to get into real estate. And he ended up purchasing a rental house that was out of state. So now he's preparing a multi state return and he has to set up a rental property. He was using an over the counter online tax product there. And you know the saying, garbage in, garbage out. Well, the data that he was putting into the software was not correct.Kyle Beltle [00:03:47]:He ended up missing out on a lot of deductions around that rental property. And so when we first started working together this year, I went back, took a look under the hood of the return last year and was able to help him get that rental property set up properly. And the savings, the actual tax savings that he experienced as a result of that were twice what I was charging him there. And so, you know, I have a colleague, Rajo Jose, who likes to say premium guidance cost a lot less than premium mistakes. And so certainly don't, don't try to DIY things when you're working with a complex tax situation.Stuart Webb [00:04:39]:I'm going to have to agree with you, Carla. I know one of the early lessons I was taught when I was a very young business owner was people forget the price long after they've forgotten the lack of quality, so long after they've remembered the lack of quality. So you know, the, the problem that we all try and think of is this may or may not take me a lot of time, but you're not dealing with, you're not dealing with something which, which is, you know, so much time based, are you? Although they are paying for your time, they're paying for the years of experience which you bought into the, you've used as your education and your experience in order to come back and go, this is how much it's valid, the value is to you. This is not about me taking 15 minutes over this. This is 15 years of my life that's taught me how to do this for you.Kyle Beltle [00:05:25]:100%. 100%. And that's not even mentioning the time that they would need to take away from their core business.Stuart Webb [00:05:33]:Absolutely.Kyle Beltle [00:05:34]:To try to learn this or to even, even to execute it.Stuart Webb [00:05:38]:Absolutely. So I think, Carl, you've been very kind to the audience. You have Got a giveaway. And this will be something which is in the vault that we have, which is the systemized me free stuff. So describe what this is, a PDF, I think, which is going to be a great asset to a lot of people. Tell us what's in this PDF and how it benefit them.Kyle Beltle [00:06:04]:So, as I said at the top, one of the issues that so many of my prospects and so many of my clients come to me with is just saying, where do I even begin? So I put together a handout here of my six favorite tax strategies that most people can take advantage of. And so I would download that there and take it with you next time you're meeting with your tax professional to see which one of these can we put into play to maximize my savings.Stuart Webb [00:06:34]:And I would, I'd hate to, to prejudice this, but if somebody comes along and finds they're only using five of the six, they may need to have a word with you anyway.Kyle Beltle [00:06:43]:Yes, absolutely, absolutely.Stuart Webb [00:06:46]:Okay, terrific. That's a brilliant. And I, I'll just repeat, if you go to systemize me free hyphen stuff, you will find that immediately. You can go and download that now and go get that from, from that vault and, and you will be able to get hold of Kyle's top six strategies. Have a feeling he may have more than six in his bank. But that's, that's the top.Kyle Beltle [00:07:09]:There may be a bonus. There may be a bonus one.Stuart Webb [00:07:12]:I love it. I love it. I love it. Kyle, tell us a little bit. You know, how did you become the, the expert that you are on tax? This doesn't happen overnight. It certainly doesn't happen unless you, you set out intentionally to understand these things.Kyle Beltle [00:07:28]:Yeah.Stuart Webb [00:07:28]:Is there a book, a course or something like that that took you to this, this place? That's.Kyle Beltle [00:07:34]:That is a great question, Stuart. And I love when you ask your guests this because you're always, always finding great books, great programs through this, and I've read a lot of books over the years and just trying to think distill it down to one. Ah, it's really tough. But if I had to choose, I would say that the most impactful program in my life has been Earl Nightingale's the Strangest Secret. Are you familiar with it by any chance?Stuart Webb [00:08:05]:It's not one I know. It's not one I know.Kyle Beltle [00:08:08]:So I encourage everyone out there, go look it up on YouTube. The strangest secret. It's originally, I believe it was a radio broadcast that Earl gave. It's only about 30 minutes. It's very concise. Very to the point. And spoiler alert. The strangest secret is that we become what we think about most of the time.Kyle Beltle [00:08:34]:Oh, and, you know, certainly that is by, you know, no means new to any of your listeners, I'm sure. But for me, I came across this early in my career. It was one of the first times I was really ever exposed to the power of being intentional with your thoughts and setting goals there. And so even to this day, I still find it as a great reset any. Anytime I'm stuck to listen to Earl Nightingale's the Strangest Secret.Stuart Webb [00:09:06]:That is a great, great tip, Carl. I thank you for that one because you're absolutely right. Too often we are, we're not intentional with our businesses, are we? We are distracted. I often see business owners, and I deal with business owners most of my day, and I find myself saying, well, why are you doing it that way? And the answer is sometimes it's sort of like, well, I just can't stop thinking about this. And unfortunately you go, well, you're missing out on a bunch of other things which actually you should be focused on and this should not be even in your thing. So you, you tend to end up doing it because you've just got locked in a cycle of focus that is the wrong one. And to switch the focus to what you should be focused on is much more important.Kyle Beltle [00:09:53]:Yeah. If you're just reacting to the latest email, the latest text message that comes across your inbox there. Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're going to get stuck in a cycle that is not productive and not product. You know, really building up your business to the best that it can be.Stuart Webb [00:10:12]:And this is where you have to start thinking a little bit about, like the, the future of your business by focus on those tax strategies which actually enable you to free up the cash, free up the investment that you might need in order to move the business forward.Kyle Beltle [00:10:26]:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. May feel like you're taking some time, some invaluable time out of your schedule to invest one, two, maybe even three hours to sit down with your tax pro and really map out the upcoming year, what you can take advantage of, what you can't. But the clarity that I have seen that give to my clients is worth its weight in gold and more than comes back to them in time savings.Stuart Webb [00:10:57]:Yeah, I'm gonna, I'll tell a small story here. It's one that's rather specific to the. But I came across a business just recently. The business had hit a real problem. They had a real cash flow problem. And I sort of said, what's the real reason for the cash flow problem? Wasn't very obvious from the discussion. They went, we forgot a VAT bill, value added tax bill. We forgot this tax bill was coming in.Stuart Webb [00:11:20]:We completely missed swiped our cash flow. We're now in deep trouble because we had no idea that it was coming in. And I looked at them and I basically said these bills are paid once every quarter. It's like Christmas. It's going to be on the same day, same time every year. What happened? We didn't have a plan. A one or two hour meeting with an attacked professional to just work out where that was would have solved a whole heap of problems for that business.Kyle Beltle [00:11:52]:Yeah, absolutely, absolutely not. Not to mention just the fact that they could have set up a very simple system to, to remind them about that or to automate it there.Stuart Webb [00:12:04]:Yeah, absolutely brilliant, Kyle, I guess we're getting towards the end of this and I'm going to let you go so you can get back to helping other tax professional people get their taxes in order. Professionals get their taxes in order. Carl, there must be a question that you're thinking, well, he still hasn't asked me the real killer one and obviously I might, I might think of it and probably I'm not going to because I'm a person of very little brain. So what's the one question that I should by now have asked you? And as you know what that question is, you better answer it for us as well.Kyle Beltle [00:12:38]:Yeah, absolutely. Well, one of the questions that I was waiting for was what is one tax strategy in particular that could be a quick win for someone today?Stuart Webb [00:12:50]:I am so glad I didn't ask that question because that is such a good question.Kyle Beltle [00:12:55]:And I got to tell you, Stuart, I'll preface this, I know this, this answer, it's not exciting, it's not revolutionary here, but it is, it truly is powerful. And that is for the listeners here in the US to max out your 401k retirement plan there. Now most people, Stewart, very familiar with having some money taken out of their, their paychecks there to put in the 401k and that's great and that everyone should be doing that. However, I'm always surprised that more business owners don't know about the profit sharing options that most for 1k plans have. And the reason that the profit sharing is so powerful, Stuart, is that it is money that the business elects to put into their employees 401k plans. And it's powerful because if the owner owns a company that's taxed as an S corp here in the US that owner will be on payroll and they'll be able to put additional money into their personal 401 while the business gets a tax deduction for it. It's also a great way for employers to reward their employees by giving them a little bit of a bonus that they don't have to pay payroll taxes on. The employees don't have to pay income taxes on there.Kyle Beltle [00:14:26]:So using the profit sharing component of your 401k to really max it out is a very powerful tax strategy that a lot of businesses will will be able to implement this year and get a quick win.Stuart Webb [00:14:40]:Carl, it will not surprise you to learn that is not a strategy that is just related to the US that is also many other countries. Optimizing and maximizing the amount of money you put into a pension is often the best way of saving tax for the business, but also, as you just said, allowing the employee, even if the employee is the chief executive, to get ready for a time when they need to step away from the business anyway and have still got the money coming in that they should have.Kyle Beltle [00:15:11]:Yeah, absolutely, Stuart. You know, as I said, it's not a particularly exciting strategy, but it's, it's been my experience as a professional that oftentimes it's the simple disciplines.Stuart Webb [00:15:23]:Yeah.Kyle Beltle [00:15:23]:Simple steps that we repeat day after day within our businesses that in the long run provide the biggest wins for us.Stuart Webb [00:15:32]:Kyle, that is a great message to end on because I think it is a universal truth. Business is actually really simple. If you boil it down, it's about making a customer and keeping that customer happy. And hey, what could you do better than doing that with your employees by giving them tax breaks and money for when they retire as well. Absolutely brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Kyle, thank you so much for spending a few minutes.Kyle Beltle [00:15:56]:Thank you, Stuart. It's been a blast.Stuart Webb [00:15:58]:I'm. I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna encourage people.
