Tactical Transition Tips Round 108 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, the systems in place to protect you require documentation and use before you're out.Benefits don't fail because they're weak. They fail because they sit there unused.In these careers, it's easy to treat “benefits” like paperwork you'll deal with later, once life slows down. But later is the trap. The system isn't going to chase you down and make sure you're set up. If you don't learn what you're entitled to, document what needs documenting, and use what's available while you still have access, you can end up paying out of pocket, delaying care, or walking into transition with avoidable problems on your back.This episode addresses benefits as protection, not perks. That includes medical documentation, but it also includes education options (like the GI Bill), financial and investing support, home buying programs, and even outside organizations that offer help for you and your family. The point isn't to become a benefits expert. It's to stop treating protection like background noise.Here are the three transition tips covered:Close Range Group (transitioning within a year): Get it on paper before you get outYou're running out of time for “I'll handle it later,” so this is about getting appointments, issues, and records documented now so you're not trying to prove things from memory after you're out.Medium Range Group (transitioning in 3 to 5 years): Fix it while you're still inYou've still got the advantage of structure and easier access, so you use this window to address real issues and use available resources before transition pressure makes everything harder to prioritize.Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): The most important equipment maintenance is youThis is where you build habits and track patterns early so neglect doesn't become normal and small problems don't turn into long-term damage that follows you into any future transition.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

The school year has barely started… and mornings are chaos, afternoons are meltdowns, and bedtime is a war zone. If your family routine is already off the rails, you’re not alone — and you’re not failing. In this short, evidence-based episode, Justin & Kylie share two powerhouse strategies backed by world-class research that will instantly reduce friction, restore calm, and get your days flowing again. KEY POINTS Most families don’t have ten problems — they have one bottleneck. Fix that, and everything downstream improves. Use three questions to identify your real bottleneck (not the symptoms). Mornings, after-school collapse, bedtime battles, and parent bottlenecks are the most common trouble spots. Decision fatigue breaks routines. Successful families minimise decisions by using defaults, patterns, and routines. One-time decisions beat daily debates: uniforms, breakfast rotation, meal rosters, after-school defaults, and bedtime rules. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Family routine falls apart because you’re burning willpower on low-value repetitive decisions instead of creating a system that lets you make the decision once — then keep it on repeat.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Theory of Constraints — Eli Goldratt (bottlenecks & flow) Paradox of Choice — Barry Schwartz (decision overload) Decision Architecture — Chip Heath Skylight Calendar (not sponsored) — digital scheduling & defaults tool ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Identify the bottleneck: Ask: When does chaos peak? What task derails everything? What’s the domino? Fix that first. Engineer it out of existence: Change the environment, not the child — uniforms ready, lunches packed, shoes found the night before. Create defaults: Breakfast rotation, meal roster, after-school ritual, homework spot, bedtime time. Save willpower for what matters. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why More Leads Don't Fix a Broken Business Most agents think they need more leads to fix inconsistent income. But more leads don't fix broken systems — they expose them. When conversion, follow-up, and structure are weak, adding volume only creates stress, missed opportunities, and emotional burnout. In this episode, we break down why most agents don't have a lead problem — they have a conversion and system problem — and why listings, not lead volume, are what stabilize income. If more leads feel overwhelming instead of empowering, your business isn't asking for volume. It's asking for structure.

Genetics provide the context most training and nutrition plans are missing.In this episode, I sit down with Justin Harris to explain why starting with genetics removes so much of the guesswork. The body has a built-in hardware that shapes how your body responds to food, training, stress, and supplements long before habits come into play. Once you understand that framework, your decisions stop feeling random.We walk through real examples, including why some people struggle with caffeine, vitamin D, high-fat diets, or recovery even when they are doing the right things. These patterns are not random, and they are rarely about effort.We also cover when genetic testing actually makes sense and why it works best once the basics are already in place. If you want fewer guesses and better decisions around training, nutrition, and long-term health, this episode is for you.

How often have you looked at your bank accounts and thought to yourself, “where did all my money go?”, or how many times have you felt buyers' remorse after purchasing something? The truth is that it's way too easy to spend without noticing how much money is actually slipping away. In this episode, we'll talk about 7 common habits that cause people to waste money and share some tips on how to correct them.

Many people believe they don't have enough money because they don't earn enough, but often the real issue is spending too much. Most of us don't spot wasteful spending right away. It can build up for different reasons and turn into a habit. If your habits aren't helping, they could be hurting. To make the most of your money, it helps to know where you might be wasting it. Here's a list of a few wasteful habits that tend to drain our money. The first one is throwing away food. Have you ever filled your fridge, only to toss out a lot of it a week later? This is a major way people waste money. If you want to cut waste, start here. Fix this habit by making a food plan. Choose recipes for each meal, list the ingredients you need, and buy only those. Planning ahead keeps you organized and helps you use everything you buy rather than waste it. Habit number two is spending too much on dining out. After a long day, it's tempting to order takeout or eat out if you haven't planned a meal. But eating out often adds up fast. With food, drinks, tip, and tax, you might spend more on one meal than it would cost to make several at home. What can you do? Plan your at-home meals in advance and set a budget for dining out. This way, you'll have money set aside to spend on dining and can enjoy eating out without guilt. Habit number three is impulse buying. Impulse buying often happens for emotional reasons. If you buy more than you planned, that's an impulse purchase. This can waste a lot of money, especially if you didn't budget for it. To change this, try shopping in person with cash and bring a list—only buy what's on it. If you shop online, use a debit card instead of a credit card. You'll have to pay close attention to your spending because you're limited by that account balance. Habit number four is buying brand-name items when generic products work just as well. People often spend more on brand names without noticing. Brand-name products can cost 20% to 30% more, even when generics work fine. Look at the items you usually buy and see if the price difference is worth it. Many generic products, especially food products, contain the same ingredients. Do your research and choose what makes sense. Habit number five is stocking up on too many things you don't need. The Internet is full of people showing off their hauls—candles, body scrubs, food, sneakers, clothes, and more. Many of us like to collect things, but there's a fine line between collecting and overbuying. Content creators, ads, and online messages often tempt us to buy things we think we'll use but don't really need. This can be wasteful, especially since some items, like cosmetics and beauty products, expire. If you stock too much, they may go bad before you get to use them. Avoid this habit by sticking to a budget to help avoid overspending on things you don't need. If you're considering items that have a shelf life, be intentional to use up what you have before buying more. Habit number six is paying unnoticed fees or subscriptions you don't need. How many subscriptions do you have? Can you keep track of them all? Have any gone up in price in the last six months or year? If you don't keep track, you might end up paying more than you planned. Avoid wasting money on fees and subscriptions by checking them regularly. Cancel the ones you don't use or downgrade the plan if necessary. When it comes to late fees, check your account history for any missed payments. Companies will charge a fee when a payment isn't made on time, so the best way to avoid these fees is to stay organized. Mark up a calendar or set alerts on your phone to stay on top of all payments and use auto pay tools to ensure the payment is made on time. Wasteful habit number seven is paying high interest on loans. If you think you're paying too much interest each month, you might be right. Interest rates change over time, and your rate could be higher than necessary. To avoid this, consider refinancing your loans to get a lower interest rate. This can lower your monthly payments and free up a little cash. Check out Triangle Credit Union for the best refinance rates on auto loans, mortgages, home equity loans, personal loans, and more.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Development isn't over until it's packaged Most software development I've done has been utilities for highly specific workflows. I've written code to ensure that metadata for a company's custom file format gets copied along with the rest of the data when the file gets archived, code that ensures a search field doesn't mangle input, lots of Git hooks, file converters, parsers, and of course my fair share of dirty hacks. Because most software projects I work on are designed for a specific task, very few of them have required packaging. My utilities have been either integrated into a larger code base I'm not responsible for, or else distributed across an infrastructure by an admin. It's like a magic trick, which has made my life conveniently easier but, as magic does, it has also tricked me into thinking that my development work is done once I can prove that my code does its job. The reality is that code development isn't actually done until you can deliver it to your users in a format they can install. I don't think I'm alone in forgetting that software delivery is the real final product. There are many reasons some developers stop short of providing an installable package for the code they've worked on for weeks or months or years. First of all, packaging is work, and after writing and troubleshooting code for months, sometimes you just want your work to be over just as soon as everything functions as expected. Secondly, there are a lot of software package formats out there, regardless of what platform you're delivering to. However, I view packaging as part of quality assurance. There are lots of benefits you gain by packaging your code into an installer, and you don't have to target every package format. In fact, you get the benefits of packaging by creating just one package. Checking for consistency When you package your code as an installable file, whether it's an RPM file or a Bash script or a Flatpak or AppImage or EXE or MSI or anything else, you are checking your code base for consistency. Pick whatever package format you're most comfortable with, or the one you think represents the bulk of your target audience, and you're sure to find that the package tooling expects to be automated. Nobody wants to start packaging from scratch every time they update code, so naturally packaging tools are designed to be configured once for a specific code base and then to create updated packages each time the code base is updated. If you're building a package for your project and discover that you have to manually intervene, then you've discovered a bug in your code. Imagine that you've got a project repository with a name in camel-case. You hadn't noticed before, but your code refers to itself in a mix of lowercase and camel-case. Your package build grinds to a halt because a variable used by the packaging tools suddenly can't find your code base because it was set to a lowercase title but the archive of your code uses camel-case. If this happens to you, it's also going to happen for every software packager trying to help you deliver your project to their users. Fix it for yourself, and you've fixed it for everyone. Discover surprise dependencies For decades, one of the most common problems of software troubleshooting has been the phrase “well, it works on my machine.” No matter how many tools we developers have at our disposal to make it easy to build and run software on a clean system, it's still common to accidentally deliver software with surprise dependencies. It's easy to forget to revert to a clean snapshot in a virtual machine, or to use a container that just happens to have a more recent version of a library than you'd realised, or to get the path of an important executable wrong in a script, or to forget that not all computers ship with a thing you take for granted. Not all packaging tools are immune to this problem, but very robust ones (like RPM and DEB, Flatpak, and AppImage) are. I can't count the times I've tried to deliver an RPM only to be reminded by rpmbuild that I haven't included the -devel version of a dependency (many Linux distributions separate development libraries from binaries.) You may not literally fix every problem with dependency management by building a single package, but you can clearly identify what your code requires. It only takes a single warning from your packaging tool for you to add a note to other packagers about what they must include in their own builds. As an additional bonus, it's also a good reminder to double check the licenses your project is using. In the haze of desperate hacking to get something to just-work-already, it's helpful to get a gentle reminder that you've linked to a library with a different license than everything else. Few packaging tools (if any?) detect licensing requirements directly, but sometimes all it takes is a reminder that you're using a library that comes from a non-standard repo for you to remember to review licensing. Every package is an example package Once you've packaged your code once, you create an example for everyone coming to your project to turn it into a package of their own. It doesn't matter whether your example package is an RPM or a DEB or just a TGZ for a front-end like SlackBuild or Arch's AUR, it's the interaction between a packaging system and the input script that counts. Even a novice package maintainer is likely to be able to reverse engineer a packaging script enough to reuse the same logic for their own package. Here's the build and install section of the RPM for GNU Hello: %prep %autosetup %build %configure make %{?_smp_mflags} %install %make_install %find_lang %{name} rm -f %{buildroot}/%{_infodir}/dir %post /sbin/install-info %{_infodir}/%{name}.info %{_infodir}/dir || : Here's the GNU Hello build script for Arch Linux: source=(https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('5cf598783b9541527e17c9b5e525b7eb') build(){ cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" ./configure --prefix=/usr make } package(){ cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install } There are differences, but you can see the shared logic. There are macros or functions that abstract some common steps of the build process, there are variables to ensure consistency, and they both benefit from using automake as provided by the source code. Armed with these examples, you could probably write a DEB package or Flatpak ref for GNU Hello in an afternoon. Package your code at least once Packaging is quality assurance. Even though a packaging system is really just a front-end for whatever build system your code uses anyway, the rigour of creating a repeatable and automated process for delivering your project is a helpful exercise. It benefits your project, and it benefits the people eager to deliver your project to other users. Software development isn't over until it's packaged.Shownotes taken from https://www.both.org/?p=13264Provide feedback on this episode.
In this episode of Designed for the Creative Mind, I'm sitting down with Natalie Froom, founder and principal designer of Studio 180 Design. Natalie and I go way back—she came through the Interior Design Business Bakery shortly after the pandemic, back when she lovingly calls herself a "baby designer." Fast forward to now, and she's running a growing studio with a team, a refined process, and big plans for the future. This conversation is one of those full-circle moments I absolutely love. We talk about how Natalie's background in psychology and nutrition led her to interior design, how wellness and environment are deeply connected, and how her business (and confidence) evolved over time. If you're a designer who's still figuring out your niche, your process, or your next level—this one is for you. In This Episode, We Talk About: How Natalie's background in psychology, nutrition, and wellness naturally led her into interior design The connection between mental, physical, and environmental wellbeing (and why it matters in design) Finding your niche by doing the work—and letting your projects guide you Why Natalie focuses on busy, high-level professionals who want a true turnkey experience The importance of process over "just talent" when growing a design business How collaboration (not competition) elevates design and the industry as a whole Balancing beauty with practicality—creating homes that are both elevated and livable Why Natalie believes personality matters more than a rigid design "style" Growing from a solo designer into a team-based, scalable business Looking ahead: international growth, team expansion, and better work-life balance Natalie's journey is such a powerful reminder that you don't have to have everything figured out on day one. Your niche can evolve. Your process can be refined. Your vision can grow bigger than you ever imagined. What matters most is building a solid foundation, staying open to learning, and allowing yourself to grow into the designer—and business owner—you're meant to be. If you've ever felt like you were "behind," unsure of your style, or still finding your footing, I really think this episode will resonate with you. Watching Natalie step into her confidence, refine her process, and build a business that truly supports her life is exactly why I do this work. This conversation is proof that when you focus on process, collaboration, and intention, growth follows—both creatively and professionally. If this episode sparked something for you, I'd love for you to reflect on where you are in your own journey and what your next evolution might look like.

This weekend, Dr. Dennis Burke joined us as our guest minister and delivered a powerful, faith-building message declaring 2026 as “The Year of the Fix.” He challenged us to move beyond resolutions and step into revelation, actively shifting our mindset, reordering what's out of alignment, and using our God-given authority to speak His Word over every area of life. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Dr. Burke reminded us that lasting change comes when we anchor ourselves in truth, refuse to drift, and receive a fresh infusion of supernatural strength as God works from the inside out.Our Links–• Join The Prayer Movement!: https://theprayermovement.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwordmn• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwordmn• Stay up to date with all things LWCC at https://www.LWCC.org• Join our Online Church community here: https://www.lwcc.org/onlinechurch• Give online: https://www.lwcc.org/give/• If you recently committed your life to God, we'd like to give you a free eBook to help you in your spiritual journey.

What if the clearest proof of faith isn't a miracle, but endurance when nothing changes? We walk through the final verses of Hebrews chapter 11 and let the text challenge our assumptions—celebrating triumphs at Jericho and the courage of Rahab, then facing the sobering roll call of believers who were mocked, chained, stoned, and even sawn in two. The thread that ties it all together is not perfect people, but a perfect God who keeps his promises and invites us to act on them.We talk candidly about the judges and kings who made the list—Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David—and how their moral failures don't cancel their witness. Instead, they spotlight the truth that mustard-seed faith in a great God still counts. That leads us into the sharp turn of the chapter: some shut lions' mouths; others refused release to gain a better resurrection. Both groups are commended. We ask what endurance looks like today, why prosperity teaching collapses under this passage, and how hope in future glory empowers gritty obedience right now.Along the way, we define faith as trust expressed in action, explore why the wilderness wanderings are absent from the record, and consider how God strengthens his people exactly when they need it. The takeaway is simple and weighty: keep going. Fix your eyes on Jesus, choose obedience over optics, and remember that you are part of a larger story where unseen promises are the surest reality.If this conversation helps you stand firm, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next chapter, and leave a review with the one lesson you're putting into practice this week.Support the showThank you for listening!!

In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with Dr. Andrew Fix, a physical therapist and orthopedic clinical specialist. Rick and Dr. Fix discuss the efficacy of recovery tools, as well as the basics of recovery and common mistakes he sees endurance athletes make. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Dr. Fix chat about during this episode:1. Could you tell our listeners a bit more about yourself? 2. There are near endless recovery tools available today including foam rollers, percussion guns and compression boots… to name just a few. From a macro point of view, do you think that tools have long term effects, or is the benefit more from an acute standpoint? 3. Do you think that a lot of athletes forget about the basics of recovery (i.e., sleep, rest days, eating well, etc…) and instead focus on recovery tools? 4. What is the science behind cold plunges and saunas, as there seems to be conflicting information about the efficacy of them. 5. Do you think a lot of athletes try to ‘self-treat' injuries/niggles with recovery modalities versus seeing a professional such as a PT? 6. While I'm sure that it's largely individually-based, if an athlete was going to purchase three recovery tools, are there three that you would say that provide the most value? 7. What are the top mistakes that you see athletes make with respect to recovery? 8. What are some recovery myths/protocols that athletes are still using today that don't have the evidence to support their utilization? 9. Lastly, as the body functions as a systemic point of view, do you often see athletes self-treating a particular body part with a recovery modality that likely isn't the root cause of the pain/discomfort? What would your advice for these individuals?To learn more about Dr. Fix's practice, please visit: www.physioroomco.com For $75 off a UESCA certification, use code ATE75

In part 5 of our Pre NADA AI Spotlight series, Sam sits down with Luke Sontag, Marketing, & IT Manager at Kissee Ford and Ari Polakof, CEO & Co-founder of Flai. We explore how one family-owned dealership used voice AI to capture after-hours and rollover calls without losing its local, human feel. Ari explains why most “bolt-on” AI fails, how deep DMS integration changes outcomes, and what it really takes to get service advisors to trust automation. The result is real appointments, immediate ROI, and less chaos on the service drive. This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by Flai: Flai - Your best people know how to turn an opportunity into an appointment, but they can't be everywhere. Flai is an AI communications platform that handles calls, texts, and emails so every call gets answered, every lead gets followed up, and appointments get booked.

"There is a difference between being responsible and being regulated." Topics Discussed Control disguised as care, responsibility, and being proactive Why overdoing can feel safe but keep the nervous system stuck The quiet exhaustion of managing everything and everyone How fertility burnout shows up in the mundane moments The illusion of success created by control Becoming the ultimate observer without judgment Why doing nothing for a moment can be deeply regulating Sometimes fixing is not love. It is fear in a more socially acceptable outfit. Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode is a brutally honest look at control. Not the obvious kind. The sneaky kind. The kind that looks like fixing, managing, improving, optimizing, and being the responsible one. The kind that gets praised. And the kind that quietly keeps your nervous system on edge while your body whispers, or screams, for relief. I share a very real moment where my own control patterns showed up while recording this very series. The urge to do more. Add more. Fix something that was already enough. And how noticing that impulse changed everything. Because the work that actually shifts fertility, burnout, and emotional exhaustion is not flashy. It is boring. It is mundane. And it asks you to sit with discomfort instead of outrunning it. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right and still not seeing the shift you want, this conversation will land. Especially if slowing down feels like giving up. Next week, we are gently reframing surrender so it stops feeling terrifying and starts feeling safe. Timestamps 01:30 Catching control patterns in real time 03:40 When fixing feels like care but creates burnout 05:10 The illusion of success created by overcontrol 07:45 Why doing less can be deeply regulating 10:50 Becoming the ultimate observer without judgment Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/The%20Illusion%20of%20Control%20in%20Infertility%20IVF%20Why%20Less%20Is%20Not%20Giving%20Up Let's Do This Together

With a strong background in evidence-based therapies and a passion for education, Dr. Ben shares what really causes tinnitus, how it connects to brain health, and the proven strategies that can help you finally find relief.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references
Successful, But Unfulfilled: Corrie's Leadership Turning Point Are you a successful, but unfulfilled, leader? Corrie wasn't burned out or failing, but she was unfulfilled, questioning herself, and missing the spark that once made her work feel meaningful. This is the story of how one woman stopped trying to "push through" and started realigning how she worked, led, and carried responsibility. Fulfillment doesn't require walking away from success. Sometimes, it requires learning how to lead and work differently from the inside out. In this episode, Blake helps unpack a real leadership success story. Corrie was successful by every external measure—strong leader, solid career, flexibility, income, and trust. And yet, she felt drained, disengaged, and quietly questioning herself. You'll hear why successful leaders feel unfulfilled at work and how she found leadership fulfillment without changing jobs. Instead, she found clarity, gained energy, and reignited the spark that once made her work meaningful. Episode Highlights The Hidden Struggle of Successful Leaders [01:55] - Dreading getting out of bed despite driving results [03:20] - When job searching becomes a cycle of rejection [04:38] - The belief that "this is just how it is" once you climb the ladder When Job Changes Don't Fix the Problem [16:49] - How constant rejection erodes confidence [18:50] - Missing the signs to stop and ask "What am I missing?" [20:10] - The frustration of wanting results now vs. reflection The Perspective Shift That Changed Everything [25:01] - Realizing misalignment was the real problem [27:04] - Understanding what truly motivates you beyond revenue [30:34] - Taking back your power from external circumstances Becoming a Better Leader by Carrying Less [44:37] - Getting the same results in fewer hours by working differently [48:41] - Learning you have more control than you thought Fulfillment Without Sacrificing Career or Family [50:46] - Moving from personal to seeing the bigger picture [53:26] - Shifting from desperation mode to empowered [55:51] - Why the journey was worth it Powerful Quotes " I kept thinking I'm okay. And then I got to a point where I just wasn't happy anymore. I wasn't excited to go to work. I wasn't excited about, you know, those results I was driving. I was just dreading getting out of bed. And it was more than just like depression or anything like that. It was like, I really had nothing to look forward to. And I just noticed it was impacting my life, my relationships. And I'm like, I need to make a change." -Corrie "I didn't realize that you can be happy in your career once you climb the ladder, but this whole process has really just opened up my eyes. And not just in my career, but like in life in general with my family and my friends and hobbies and everything." -Corrie "It's okay to ask for help. I was always the person who had the answers. So when it came to the point where I needed help, I didn't even know what to do or where to turn." -Corrie "The only way we really can truly create change is to understand what we need and how we can be empowered to create that change for ourselves." -Blake Schofield "Your career is not in your manager's hands. It's in your hands. You have control of this." -Corrie Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Deconstruction can feel like freedom… until the relief wears off.In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock talk honestly about what really changes after deconstruction — and what often doesn't. Because many of us have shifted our beliefs about God, the Bible, hell, the devil, and faith… but still find ourselves stuck in the same emotional patterns we learned in the system we left.You might think differently now… but still feel anxious, responsible, pressured, or lonely.In this conversation, you'll hear:

Fix the Foundation Before You Scale: Ryan Caracciolo on the Business Growth Flywheel, Marketing Systems, and Sustainable RevenueIn this episode of Uncomplicated, I sit down with Ryan Caracciolo, Founder & CEO of StriVenta and creator of the Business Growth Flywheel, to unpack why so many businesses stall not because they lack marketing tactics, but because their foundation can't support growth.With over a decade of experience helping small, mid-sized, and enterprise businesses align marketing, sales, and retention systems, Ryan is known for cutting through hype and vanity metrics to focus on what actually moves the revenue needle. From website infrastructure to call tracking to CRM adoption, his work centers on building systems that scale without burning teams out.Ryan is also the creator of Hyperdrive WP, a streamlined website framework designed to eliminate tech debt, improve performance, and give business owners something they actually own without overengineering or bloated subscriptions.This conversation is a must-listen for founders and operators who feel stuck doing “all the right things” but aren't seeing real growth.We cover:Why most businesses try to scale before their foundation is readyThe three non-negotiables for growth: website, call tracking, and a trusted CRMWhy more traffic is often the wrong goal and how less traffic can convert betterThe Business Growth Flywheel and how it creates alignment between marketing, sales, and serviceWhy marketing fails when it's disconnected from sales and customer experienceHow poor CRM adoption quietly kills momentum (and what realistic timelines look like)The hidden cost of tech debt and overbuilt websitesHyperdrive WP and how to ship fast without sacrificing qualityWhy clarity beats cleverness in messaging for both users and GoogleHow consistency, not shiny tactics, separates businesses that scale from those that stallKey Takeaways:Growth doesn't come from more tactics, it comes from better systems.Marketing should support the entire business, not just look good.Quality leads beat high volume every time.CRMs fail when teams aren't aligned, trained, or bought in.Sustainable growth is built methodically, not rushed to market.This is a grounded, tactical episode for founders, business owners, and leaders who want to simplify growth, build trust across teams, and scale without chaos.
This week on That Tech Pod, Laura and Kevin sit down with Cindy Cohn, Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to talk about the power structures hiding in plain sight across the internet, money, surveillance, and AI. Cindy breaks down what EFF actually does and why access to the internet is not just an infrastructure problem, but a civil liberties issue that shapes who gets heard, who gets tracked, and who gets left out.We get into how mass surveillance quietly became normal, from license plate readers to cell phone tracking, and why most people would be genuinely shocked if they saw the full picture. We also look ahead at financial surveillance, using Europe's move toward a Digital Euro as a case study, and ask where legitimate oversight ends and control begins. On the AI front, Cindy pushes back on the idea that privacy is already lost, and explains why treating opaque systems as inevitable only benefits the most powerful actors. Cindy makes a clear case that defending digital rights does not require being a technologist or a lawyer. It starts with staying skeptical, asking hard questions, and refusing to accept tools we are not allowed to understand or challenge. That is exactly why this conversation mattered, and why we were so glad to have her on.Cindy Cohn is the Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and previously served as EFF's Legal Director and General Counsel from 2000 to 2015. She has been involved with EFF since 1993, when she served as lead outside counsel in the landmark Bernstein v. U.S. Department of Justice case, a successful First Amendment challenge to U.S. export restrictions on cryptography. Her work has been widely recognized, with honors from Forbes, The National Law Journal, and The NonProfit Times for her influence in technology, law, and civil liberties. She is also the co-host of EFF's podcast, How to Fix the Internet, and the author of Privacy's Defender, published by MIT Press.

When life feels unsettled and out of control, Fix your eyes on Jesus in Hebrews 2! Life doesn't always look the way it should. Fear lingers. Discouragement creeps in. And we wonder if God loves us, why is life still so hard? In Hebrews 2, we are reminded that while we don't yet see everything under control, we do see Jesus – the King who comes near and leads us, the Brother who accepts us and calls us family and the Champion who fights for us. This message invites us to see Jesus not as distant or detached, but as the one who entered our suffering, defeated death, and leads us into hope.

Is your highlighter making you look like a 2016 disco ball instead of a dewy goddess? And could a specific scene in a viral thriller be the reason you're finally skipping your hair appointment? On today’s episode of The Fix, Kelly and Amy are getting into the nitty-gritty of summer beauty dilemmas, from the awkward reality of "smelly hair" when you're stretching out your washes to the best way to handle your business down south. Amy and Kelly get real about their pubic hair routines—including the kitchen scissor incident you have to hear to believe—and why the "bush" is officially back. If you're struggling with painful backne or wondering how to tell your partner their scalp needs a scrub without being a total jerk, we've got the expert-approved (and slightly rogue) advice you need to survive the season. On the Beauty Edit, we’re unpacking the "New Year Glow" taking over TikTok, why "recession hair" is the ultimate 2026 vibe, and the "Housemaid" trend that has us all ditching the salon to embrace our roots.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the Insurrection Act in light of Trump's threat to invoke it, examining historical precedent, how the act differs from the powers granted under similar laws, the necessary conditions for its use, and ways to peacefully resist. Then, the #Sisters review the validity of the administration's announcement of a criminal investigation targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell for alleged false statements during a Senate hearing, and put it in the context of the wider war on independent agencies. They also investigate the merits of the FBI's search of a WaPo journalist's home and sound the alarm over the erosion of press freedoms. Start 2026 with style!

Condemnation can quietly weigh down even the most faithful believers, especially when perfectionism and performance replace grace. Romans 8:1 offers freeing truth: for those in Christ Jesus, condemnation no longer exists because Jesus already carried the full weight of sin and shame on the cross. Highlights Perfectionism often disguises itself as faith but leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Guilt and shame push us away from God, while grace draws us closer. Self-condemnation is a burden Jesus never intended believers to carry. Romans 8:1 declares complete freedom from condemnation for those in Christ. Jesus paid the full debt for sin—nothing more is required from us. Our identity is found in Christ’s finished work, not our performance. Grace is a gift to rest in, not something to strive to maintain. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Carrying the Unnecessary Weight of Condemnation By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). For many years, I was driven by perfectionism and the feeling that I had to work successfully or perform well in life to be loved by other people… and to be loved by God. On the outside, I looked like I had it all together- high honors throughout school, hyper-involvement in extracurricular activities, serving in any ministry I was asked to be involved in, star of the high school plays and musicals, head cheerleader, first chair clarinet player in the band, and the list goes on and on. But on the inside, I was so empty and constantly searching for true fulfillment. I knew God was there for me, but somehow, I thought I could be perfect in my own strength on my walk with Him. Because we are human, we fail time and time again. We make a mess of things more often than not. Guilt and shame can often push us further away from God, instead of closer. For so long as a Christian, I was allowing self-condemnation to take root in my heart, and it weighed me down as I walked around carrying all of the baggage of my past sins and failures, thinking that I had to continue to strive to keep God’s forgiveness. Thankfully, today, I no longer live burdened by a work-based mentality. I find my identity in the finished work of Christ, and I want to encourage you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you should too. Grace is a gift that cannot be earned, and you do not have to strive to keep it either. In Romans 8:1, the Bible tells us that we do not have to carry condemnation in our lives when we’re truly in Christ. If you are a born-again believer, condemnation does not exist because the punishment for our failures and sins does not exist. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). This means that when we embrace and believe what Jesus did for us on the cross, as He took the punishment for our sin that we deserved, our lives are now hidden in Christ. When we come to God with a heart full of repentance, resting in this glorious, finished work of the cross, we can stand before the throne of God without any shame because Jesus bore all of it for us. The debt we owed has been paid in full- we are free from all bondage. Intersecting Life & Faith: Jesus took all of your sin and your shame upon Himself and cast it as far as the east is from the west, friend. Do you struggle with thoughts of shame from your past? Fix your eyes on the finished work of the cross. Christ bore the weight of your sin; you no longer have to live with the weight of your failures. You can come boldly to the throne of grace, beloved, because it is grace that did the work for you. You can rest assured that God sees you as blameless and perfect because you are in Christ. There is no reason to carry that heavy burden of condemnation upon your shoulders… surrender it to Christ today. Let’s pray that you learn to no longer walk around carrying the weight of your past and stop striving for perfection. Remember, Jesus is blameless and perfect for you… lean upon Him.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common questions in his 20 years of practice: what to do about enlarged adenoids, tonsils, and chronic ear infections. He reveals the hidden root cause that most doctors overlook—the "plumbing problem" caused by subluxation and lack of movement in the neurospinal system. Dr. Tony explains why movement is essential for drainage and provides a balanced decision-making framework for parents, including when natural care is enough and when surgical intervention may be necessary as a last resort.----Links & ResourcesNEI supersystem episode [Apple/Spotify]Deep Dive Episode on PANDAS/PANS [Apple/Spotify]-----Key Topics & Timestamps05:00 The Hidden Root Cause: The Plumbing Problem07:00 Why Antibiotics & Ear Tubes Don't Fix the Root Issue10:00 Movement is Life: The Key to Drainage14:00 The Role of Diet, Inflammation & Mucus Production17:00 The Balanced Approach: Natural First, Medical as Last Resort18:00 Principle #24: The Limitations of Matter22:00 Age Matters: Younger Kids Have More Neuroplasticity'27:00 The Decision-Making Framework: Exhaust Natural Options First-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In part 3 of our Pre NADA AI Spotlight series we break down why call handling is still broken, and how a new generation of agentic AI is changing the equation. Today, Sam sits down with Chris Murphy, General Manager of Volkswagen of Oakland and Monik Pamecha, CEO of Toma. We explore how forward-thinking dealers are reallocating human talent away from low-value phone work and back into high-impact, in-store customer interactions. The conversation also tackles a harder truth: as AI becomes a true operational layer, GMs are now managing AI agents the same way they manage people—training them, auditing performance, and holding them accountable. This episode is brought to you by: Toma - Toma builds AI agents that protect dealership revenue, retention, and reputation by automating communications and workflows with safeguards that protect the customer experience.

What We Learned Without a Game In the offseason life comes at you fast. The Detroit Lions are sitting on a 9-8 season and a clear mandate. Fix the roster. Get better. Get back to the postseason in 2026. The belief remains that Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have earned the benefit of the doubt after four straight winning years. The NFL does not wait. Results matter now. Grey underscores the league's ruthless pace. Look around at Pete Carroll, Jonathan Gannon, Brian Daboll, Raheem Morris, Brian Callahan, Kevin Stefanski, Mike McDonald, and John Harbaugh. Tenures shift. Reputations shift. If the Lions miss the mark this offseason, the heat rises. Campbell and Holmes get the one-year reprieve to steer this roster. If the step forward does not happen, that seat gets hot in a hurry. Extra Time and the Staff Fix Exiting early stings, but the calendar helps. No playoff prep means time and attention can move to the coaching staff. The recent past showed how that can slip. John Morton arrived and then exited. Now the Lions need an offensive coordinator, with other staff decisions on deck. January without game plans opens hours for interviews, evaluation, and structure. This is where detail matters. Identify the offensive identity. Match it with the next play caller. Build the room the right way. The roster has talent. The Lions must align scheme and staff to it. The extra weeks should sharpen choices and shorten mistakes. That is the kind of edge this organization needs to reclaim momentum in the NFL. Across Lake Michigan: Ben's Bears Change the Math Ben might be a problem. He is winning playoff games with the Chicago Bears. He is teaching a young roster how to close even when the stat sheet says otherwise. Turnovers keep showing up. Point differential keeps getting defied. The Packers went down in flames, followed by that overdone WrestleMania handshake. It was funny. It was also a warning. There is a reality check built in. The Bears still have the NFC West gauntlet ahead. A sophomore slump can happen. Luck on turnovers can flip. But for a first season with a young quarterback who needed psychological repair, this is real progress. It changes the neighborhood. The Lions cannot count on drift in the division to help. They have to set the pace. Draft Wish List, Early and Different The draft talk has started. The show teased an early wish list. It is different than most, and it is early by design. The Lions need targeted pieces, not noise. The approach reflects the offseason theme. Clear eyes. Tight priorities. No wasted motion. Detroit has the time right now. Use it, and 2026 remains in play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRExA5Bann4 #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #dancampbell #bradholmes #offensivecoordinator #johnmorton #hotseat #postseasonin2026 #chicagobears #turnovers #pointdifferential #nfcwest #greenbaypackers #mikemcdonald #johnharbaugh Learn more about your ad choices.
