I think we used to call it Consultant Takeover and now it's just literally a podcast, but it's my consulting team. And gosh, I love these days. You guys get to hear me just brag about the consultant team and the Dental A Team in general. And I have one of my faves. All these women are some of my favorite human beings in life. we got to recently, we were able to spend some really good quality time together and really just.   Honestly, it was just fun. Like it wasn't even one-on-one, like getting to know each other. It was just really getting to know each other by proxy of having fun together. And if no one here listening knows, fun is one of our core values. And that is one of the core values. I don't even know. You may know this, but it was one of the core values that Kiera and I have had literally since day one. That was one that has never changed. Fun has always been there. We did have it really high. used to be our number one core value. And then we realized like,   it was setting a weird precedent. So it's not quite as high anymore, but fun is massive for us. And we really, truly believe if you're not having fun, what are you even doing? I think there's oftentimes in life that things are not necessarily quote unquote fun, but there should be some air of sprinkles on top that can make life a little bit more fun in the end. So Monica, you make podcasting fun, your way of thinking. I like following.   Monica (00:59) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (01:22) your thought process. really, it is really fun for me to follow the thought process, especially because I tend to think I'm pretty good at knowing where someone's going or what they're doing, what their intent is. Like I'm usually pretty good at keying into it, but sometimes you catch me and I'm like, dang, I love how your brain works. So I love it because you make me think a little bit harder, like a little...   more intentional, I like the word intentional. You make me think a little more intentional than I do on my day to day. So thank you for being here today, Monica, and shedding your brilliance on the Dental A Team, listeners and team. How are you this morning? It's a Monday morning for us and we're just at it bright and early. How are you?   Monica (02:09) I'm doing great, Tiff. Thank you. Thanks for inviting me. You know, I think one of the things that attracted me and I was really curious about the Dental A Team was that core value of having fun because, you know, we just kind of get a little serious and boring as we become adults. And I'm like, gosh, I don't ever remember thinking like, my gosh, this work should be fun. Sometimes it is fun, but should it be fun?   And I was so curious about that. to be honest, I think I shared this. I struggled a little bit with adding the fun factor in, you know, when I think about work and in my day. And I'm so glad that I decided to join the Dental A Team because that is my core value. Every day that I wake up, I'm like, I'm going to make this so fun today. What's going to be fun about my day? And I think fun is just a mindset.   Right? Because you can do hard things. You can have hard conversations. You can have a hard day and still look for the fun and still make it fun. ⁓ So thank you. Thanks for inviting me today. This is one of my, I guess, new hobbies, newfound passions is podcasting, unscripted podcasting, ⁓ going with it. Right. And just seeing what our brains kind of like come up with. So.   The Dental A Team (03:31) Yep.   Monica (03:35) just so you all know, this is unscripted. This is ⁓ just real time and I love it. I love the authenticity of it, right? Because this is where great ideas are born with no agenda. it's, you you and I have like this really great kind of cadence and engagement. One thought leads to another. And sometimes I have to stop myself because I can see myself going down and, you know, a rabbit hole and just, you know, and so we'll...   We'll keep it short and sweet and impactful.   The Dental A Team (04:07) Awesome. I love that. Thank you. And I'm glad that you, I'm actually glad that you mentioned that I do. I do think it's important for listeners to know, like this is literally off the cuff. Uh, 99.9 % of it, have a topic and we like brainstorm for a quick minute, but really we have no idea what's going to come out of these podcasts until it's done. So it is a really magical experience. And I like it that way because I think that, like you said, there's, there's more ideas that are born in that kind of a mindset and it does, it keeps it fun.   Monica (04:12) Thank   Yeah.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (04:36) Monica, been actually, it's been really fun. From my seat, I get to see the evolution of consulting and the evolution of ⁓ your position at the, at the company. And it's, was, it was been really cool. And I think for the listeners to know the Monica that you see today has always been here, but she was more reserved. And I think that comes from, it's fair. It's fair. comes from just, like you said, the older we get, more.   we lose that like the Santa Claus effect. Like we lose that magic and the sparkles and reality sets in and we get, my boyfriend likes to call himself a realist. He's a pessimist a lot of times, but he calls himself a realist, which is fair. But we do become this like realist mindset when we're just like factual and we're like checking off the lists and we're so diligent and we tend not to laugh as much as we wanted to before. for us fun just means that   We enjoy what we're doing. We bring an element of fun to our consulting. So when we work with you guys, like we're having fun. We're enjoying what we're doing. We're laughing. We're making light of the situations that we can. And we're making massive changes with easy implementations that totally just change the game for you guys. And that to us is so much fun for us to sit back and see. We can make a millimeter tweak on something that feels so massive in your world.   and then it all falls into place. And it's just really cool. think of like the implants, know, they're tweaking, tweaking, tweaking and torquing. And you can go a millimeter too far or be a millimeter too short or be like spot on. And that's what I think of like that, that implant torque. We're not making massive adjustments, but we're making massive impacts and implant changes someone's life, but it's minimal adjustments.   Monica (06:25) Yeah.   Yeah, I think ⁓ just to add to what you said, it's really important to take some time to see through the childlike eyes, right? With awe and wonder. ⁓ think it's also important not to confuse fun with playtime, right? Because work is serious stuff, what we do, right? We can have fun and get the job done and have those really impactful days ⁓ because it is a serious   The Dental A Team (06:45) Yes.   Yes.   Monica (06:58) business, right? ⁓ And fun doesn't equal playtime. And I remember a client of mine saying, well, you know, it's all you guys sound to like fun. And I'm like, yeah, because work should be fun. What you're doing is amazing. You are helping people achieve their goals, their wellness goals, the smiles that they've wanted, maybe relieving someone out of pain and, you know, shame and everything that goes around, you know, dentistry.   The Dental A Team (07:23) Yeah.   Monica (07:28) And you're impacting, you know, your team's lives and your community's lives and your own life. And it should be fun. You should see the beauty of that, right? ⁓ So it's not all fun and games, guys. It is serious stuff. When we say fun, that means live life, you know, with joy and wonder and childlike lenses. So ⁓ if you, I think if you approach, you know, the day with that mindset,   everything is lighter, everything is ⁓ easier, right? There's a place to things and there's just, you you're operating from a heart space versus your mental space, you know?   The Dental A Team (08:08) I agree. Yeah,   I agree. I agree. And I understand that everybody's going to have a core value of fun and that's okay, too. You don't have to. You truly don't have to. And you don't have to come in in the same mindset as we do. Just know that's how we operate. And when you work with us, that's what you're getting. You're getting that fun mindset of how can we make small changes that make massive impacts. And one of those spaces, I've actually watched you, make some pretty massive impacts with a client of yours. So this is   Monica (08:17) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (08:36) This is a good topic that came up for us. We get our topics from our list and I thought this was a great one for Monica actually because you have been working with a client recently. This is on hiring and building hiring ads and I know you've got at least one and you've got multiple that are hiring, but you've got one that you've worked like literally hand in hand as though you're part of their, you are part of their team, but if your boots on the ground, part of their team because of their capacity and the type of hiring that they're doing.   We've done this with a lot of clients, especially when they're hiring like office managers, because the office manager would do the hiring, right? So when they don't, which is the situation you're in now where they don't technically have like a dedicated office manager ⁓ with enough space in their world to do the hiring, even down to writing the ads and let's face it, the dentist CEOs, it's not your forte, first of all, most of the time, and you don't have time for it either. So building that out and Monica, have...   the reason that it's applicable is you have had fun doing this with them. And there's been challenges too, but I think you've made some massive strides with them in this aspect. And the first space that you started was really learning the team, learning the practice, and writing ads that attracted the right type of people. And now you guys are in the interview process, but Monica.   From the lens of consultant working with this practice or other practices you've done as well, how do you advise them and how do you help craft those ads to speak to their needs? And everyone's so different, right? So how do you do that and what suggestions do you think people could take away from today to do that on their own as well?   Monica (10:18) Yeah, that's a great question, Tiff. And you're right, I've had a fun time ⁓ kind of wrapping my arms around this one client that does need it. I think one really important factor is like, remember who you are. Why are you great? When we are in a space of lack,   whether we're lacking appropriate team members or we're not, you know, doing what we want to do. We're not doing the dentistry that we want. We're not where we should be. ⁓ I think we go down this rabbit hole of like, and almost inertia kicks in, you know? So let's reframe that mindset. Why are you great? Why did you start this? You know, how do you measure success? So I always say great leaders at   ask great questions. ⁓ Ask yourself those questions. Why am I great? What's different about me? Do I want to be different? And if so, what makes me different? What do I do differently than my colleagues in the area? And identify who you are. What's your persona? What do patients say about you? Go to your reviews, pull up your Google reviews, do a little kind of investigative work, a self-discovery.   about your practice. What are your Google reviews? What are patients saying about you? What do you want to be known for?   The Dental A Team (11:52) Yeah, I love that. actually, Simon Sinek, I listen him a lot and he speaks about your why, right? Finding your why. And he says often, if you're trying to figure out what is your special gift, like what is your talent? What is it that you're here? What is your purpose? He says, ask your friends. Ask your friends why they are friends with you. What is it about you that your friends...   Monica (12:16) I love that.   The Dental A Team (12:19) stick around for or that they lean on you for. And I think Monica, that makes me think of the Google reviews. Like ask your patients, like why do your patients come back? Why does your team who you have currently, why are they your team? What are they speaking about you? And I think that can go twofold, right? Cause you're gonna find out some things that you may not have, that might not be super fun. It might not feel really good to hear some of the things, but those are areas that fantastic. Let's pull that into a KPI.   How can we improve that? But you're gonna hear so many things as to why people love you, why they love your practice, why you. so I love that self-discovery start. I think it's really, really massive.   Monica (12:55) Yes.   Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're gonna hear some things that you may not want to hear, but I would say approach this exercise with the mindset of gratitude. Be grateful for the feedback. Be grateful for the positive feedback and be grateful for the not so positive feedback. That's a little harder to swallow, you know? ⁓ Don't attach yourself to the outcome. Attach yourself to the process of, right? And so even when you don't have a good   The Dental A Team (13:03) Yeah.   Monica (13:29) ⁓ you know, less than favorable outcome or response or feedback. would say, thank you. Thank you for sharing that because this is how I'm going to get better. That's not how I want to be perceived. Right. Would you mind sharing more? Would you mind if I asked further questions? Right. Get curious and be grateful, grateful that people are willing to step out and be honest. Right. ⁓ it takes courage. It takes courage for that. so I always say don't.   attach yourself to the outcome, but the process of. You can learn a lot about yourself in that process and your practice. I think Google reviews are really important because it's your patient's perception of their experience, not of you per se. And it may not be your reality, but it's their reality, right? So it allows us an opportunity to dig deeper and learn more, right?   Opportunity, gratitude, what's your story? I would say start with those things, those three things, right? One of the other things that I like to do is I like to see what's out there. What are other ads that are posted in my area? What are the competitors looking for? What are they saying about their practice, right? And I put on my hat of I'm looking for a job and I am a rock star.   ⁓ whatever it is, office manager, treatment coordinator. I'm a Rockstar treatment coordinator and I am looking for my next home. What ad calls my attention? Which one am I going to click on? What ads am I scrolling through? Right? Because if you want Rockstar employees, you have to have a Rockstar ad. Right? And so if your ad is ⁓   The Dental A Team (15:17) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.   Monica (15:24) the same as the other ads, ⁓ it's gonna be about the money. So who are you? Why should a Rockstar treatment coordinator come work for you? Start with your story. What are the qualities that you're looking for? What are the qualities that you have as a practice ⁓ to offer this Rockstar candidate? So start there, who are you?   The Dental A Team (15:49) I love that.   Monica (15:54) Why should I come work for you versus come work for me, right? Flip the framework of how you're posting your ad and how you're crafting your ad.   The Dental A Team (16:02) Yeah,   yeah, I love that because it makes me think of, you know, back in the day when I was in office and writing ads, it was like, I'm putting up like, five, six, seven sentences that's like, this is what we're hiring for. I need a treatment coordinator. Like, this is what you're going to get paid and people apply and we'd get thousands of applications, you know, and it's just, it's different now because I think people are looking for a place they want to have fun. They want to enjoy their job. They want to really work for a place that they feel   Monica (16:13) Yes.   The Dental A Team (16:30) seen valued heard and they want to know what that place is before they walk in and so rather than the old model of This is what we're you know, these are all of the things we're looking for ⁓ As far as the job. I think the new model is this is who we are. This is our vision These are our core values We're looking for somebody who aligns with that and this is the job that they're gonna do and I think it's flipped so much in the last five years Realistically almost six years now, right?   that we just have to think differently and we have to speak differently.   Monica (17:01) Yeah, and social media has also changed the game, right? mean, people can get an insight of your culture and who you are just by following your page, your Instagram page or your Facebook page or going on your website. But I truly believe social media and like those quick clicks, Instagram, Facebook are the persona of your practice, right? And so you gotta make sure that that's aligned with   The Dental A Team (17:06) Absolutely.   Monica (17:29) with the ad that you're posting and the reality of a day-to-day in your practice, right? And so social media can be so impactful, like Google reviews, whatever social media you use, a lot of people have TikToks, they have other things that I don't participate in because it can get overwhelming, you know? But social media is powerful. mean, you use that as your platform, your patience.   The Dental A Team (17:51) I can.   Monica (17:57) You best believe that people are going and checking your reviews and your space, your social media space, because they want to know. They want to know, is this truly who they say they are? Because we have choices, right? And let's be honest, our phone is glued to our fingertips 24 seven, even if we don't want to, it is. And there's power in that, right? So those platforms give a visual.   The Dental A Team (18:19) Yeah.   Monica (18:27) ⁓ to anyone basically. I mean, it's a world of referral nowadays, right? So I think use that to your advantage.   The Dental A Team (18:35) Mm-hmm.   Yeah, I do. I do too. I think earlier, I don't remember if it was this one or a different recording that we did, but you were speaking about, I think it was this one, being authentic. We're off the cuff here. And so being authentic in your ad and being authentic in your social presence. So what are people on the outside seeing of you is really, really huge because if you're saying you're someone and it   Monica (18:48) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (19:08) doesn't line up for you, first and foremost, the powers that you believe in are not gonna send you the people. They're not gonna come if it's not in alignment with who you are. But also, those who do come are gonna see that really easily, very quickly, and honestly, the ads usually, if we were to write an ad, if Monica wrote an ad, just blanket, wrote an ad, said, hey, five practices, you guys all use this ad. It might work for one of them because it may align closely   for one of them, but I think something you did, Monica, with this specific practice and the ones that you've worked with is you learned the practice. You actually, like you said, you put that hat on and you learned the demographics of the area and the demographics of other practices hiring, but you also learned that practice. You scoured their website, you talked to the team members, you asked them really hard questions, you scoured their reviews, you literally did your due diligence to learn who they are so that as you helped them   create the actual ad, it was speaking to them. And that authenticity really shines through. So if your social media is portraying someone that you're not, you're gonna hate it, you're gonna feel really icky, it's not gonna translate, and it's gonna make hiring really, really hard. So I think, these pieces, this introspection, this really knowing, this asking the questions, the hard questions, the easy questions, whatever you wanna call them, asking those questions and learning who you want to hire.   who you are and who you want to attract are gonna be massive pieces and really what highlights a good ad.   Monica (20:45) Yeah, I agree. And you're absolutely right. I I did a little bit of ⁓ of digging more than I than I normally would because I really want them to have the person that they deserve. And listen, sometimes we're not where we want to be. Right. So your reality right now may not be your desired space. And dream a big dream. OK, like create that that your ad can can be your future self.   The Dental A Team (20:53) Yeah.   Monica (21:14) But you need the right person to create that dream with you. So maybe you're not where you want to be or how you vision your office, but you want to get there and you're attracting, you want to attract the team members that will help you get there to that space. allow yourself to dream a big dream, be your biggest fan. I always say that, be your biggest fan, right? Fan your own flame.   The Dental A Team (21:20) Absolutely.   Monica (21:42) It takes, there's nobody else to motivate you but you. Motivation is from within, right? So yes, we have mentors and coaches and listening to them, they help us kind of reignite that flame that we all have, our internal flame, but you've got to be able to fan that flame. mean, if it's dim, you got to give it some air and some oxygen, right? And what gives us oxygen? It's all the feel good stuff.   What are my patients saying about me? Right. So one of the things that I did, cause it was, it was difficult for this client to kind of say like, gosh, what am I really great at? You know? And I'm like, well, let's go see what your patients are saying. And we pulled up some amazing reviews and here we thought like, nobody's asking for reviews. No one's giving us reviews. Well, guess what? There was some amazing reviews and I read them, you know, we, we went through the process of like, I went through the most recent ones.   The Dental A Team (22:14) Mm-hmm.   Monica (22:38) And I read this, not just one, but one that really sticks out. And I got to tell you, like, by the end of that, ⁓ reading that Google review, the doctor was sitting taller. eyes were like, there was sparkles in his eyes and, you know, his chest was out. I'm like, this is the kind of stuff that you need to be sharing on your social media stories. This is what people need to hear. He's like, wow, that's amazing. I said,   The Dental A Team (22:49) No.   Monica (23:06) print these every single day and read them to your team. Read them to yourself out loud. It feels good to know what others are seeing. We're our hardest critics sometimes. And we're not necessarily seeing the good stuff, because we're focused on all the other things that we haven't done and accomplished, but our patients see us through a different lens. And it feels great.   The Dental A Team (23:21) Yeah.   Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Monica (23:34) to be reminded of why you are who you are, why you have this amazing practice. you know, there's just so many things that we overlook because we're so focused on the things that we didn't do. Focus on the things that you did do great. What did I accomplish this year? If you change one life, guess what? That's amazing. You know, if you focus on changing one life at a time, at the end of the year, it's a trickling effect. I mean, you're...   The Dental A Team (23:57) Yeah, I agree.   Monica (24:05) your bowl is going to be or your cup is going to be overflowing. A thousand percent.   The Dental A Team (24:08) Mm-hmm.   Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. love the, ⁓ I focus on making, if I can make one person smile today, that, you know, I just want to make one person smile today. So I love this. Thank you, Monica. I knew it being so fresh, you're still in the process of helping them hire for this position, but I know it's been really, really close to your heart and you've been very intentional on getting them the results that they need and they need this hire to push for the results. I...   Monica (24:30) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (24:38) I've enjoyed watching you work with them and I know they've enjoyed working with you and will continue to enjoy working with you. You'll be hands on with them here this week. So I'm super excited for this. And Monica, think some of the pieces I've pulled out, we want those, know, actual pieces for you guys. And I think do the digging, do your research, figure out why people are referring you. Why do people want to come to you? What makes you special and different? And cultivate your ad around that plus   who it is that you want to hire and be super clear on what the position actually is. And front office reception is really hard to explain. So be super clear on what that position is, what will they actually be doing? What are your expectations so that somebody coming in can say, yes, I can do that. And Monica, thank you so much for your time. Thank you for everything you've poured into the clients that you have. But specifically today, we're talking about this one client and everything you poured into them.   Monica (25:18) Yes.   The Dental A Team (25:36) I know because I've chatted with them, I've talked with them, I know how much they appreciate it and how much they need your love and your support and your guidance. So thank you for everything you do for all of us every single day.   Monica (25:49) Thanks, Tiff. Likewise, thanks for your leadership, for your invitation, for this space where we can brainstorm and share our wisdom and ideas and impact the world of dentistry.   The Dental A Team (26:02) Yeah, in the greatest way as possible, right? I love it. That's our mission, everyone, just so you know. Thank you, Monica. And guys, I love podcasting. know that, Monica. She's a big podcast fan now. We're podcaster fan, which I appreciate and I love. So let us know what you think. Five star review below, but also Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. If you have further questions, if you need help, if you need guidance, or you're really not sure how to dig in and figure this out, please just...   Monica (26:03) Hahaha   The Dental A Team (26:29) Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We're here. A lot of those emails, most of those emails actually do get forwarded to the consultant team. So we are the ones that you're gonna be hearing from. Thanks so much and we'll catch you guys next time.   Monica (26:42) Thanks everyone.  

The wilderness of Florida has historically been one of the most challenging hunting environments in North America. Having forged traditional bowhunting skills since the time of the Seminole Indians and those of the Thompson brothers, as told in “The Witchery of Archery”, Florida has produced some of the most skilled bowhunters and trad friendships in our history. One of these friendships is that of Don Davis and Flip Pallot. This week we are blessed to have Don join Alan Altizer in a discussion on the Florida wilds and his close friendship with a man most consider to be a legend in the fly fishing and traditional bowhunting worlds, but Don called him his friend. Don and Alan cover hunting and the wildness of Florida, which provides a better insight into the friendship that grew between Don and Flip. If you didn't already know, you will after this discussion, “Flip Pallot was a very special man”.

Andrew Becker is with wholesaling powerhouse Brent Daniels! Brent shares his journey from losing everything in the 2008 crash to building a massive empire using the "Four-Headed Monster" of Google marketing. He reveals why inbound leads from Google PPC and SEO are the highest converting leads in the industry and how to dominate the four critical spots on the first page of Google to capture motivated sellers who are ready to act now. In this deep dive, Brent breaks down his internal sales process, emphasizing the critical "speed to lead" rule—you have exactly 30 seconds to respond to an inbound lead before your chances of conversion drop. He explains the "keys" analogy for why sellers choose speed and convenience over price, how to track the right KPIs to ensure profitability, and why focusing on "ugly houses" rather than just any lead is the secret to high margins. More wholesaling lessons if you join the TTP Training Program today. ---------Show notes:(0:50) Beginning of today's episode(3:29) The "Rich Dad Poor Dad" moment that changed everything (5:25) Losing it all in 2008 and rebuilding through "Talking to People" (7:12) Wholesaling 101: The three main exit strategies (Flip, Hold, Assign) (9:54) The "Four-Headed Monster" of Google: PPC, GMB, SEO, and YouTube (12:09) Speed, Convenience, vs. Price: The "Keys" Analogy for motivated sellers (16:28) The 30-Second Rule: Why speed to lead is non-negotiable (19:56) Quality over Quantity: Why you shouldn't make an offer on every single lead (21:54) The vital KPIs: Live answer rates, leads per deal, and marketing ROI (24:33) Resources for finding off-market deals ----------Resources:TTP InsiderBrent Daniels YouTube Channel To speak with Brent or one of our other expert coaches call (281) 835-4201 or schedule your free discovery call here to learn about our mentorship programs and become part of the TribeGo to Wholesalingincgroup.com to become part of one of the fastest growing Facebook communities in the Wholesaling space.

And I think sometimes people go, oh, my ability to stay in this job is their decision when it's actually your decision. Lesley Logan 0:18  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Brad Crowell 1:01  Take it away. Lesley Logan 1:03  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the purposeful convo I had with Pav Lertjitbanjong in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now, go back and listen to that one and then come back and join us. Yeah. Do both. You got time. You can also put it on a 1.5 speed. I mean, we talk fast, but you can still understand us.Brad Crowell 1:26  Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be awesome. It was actually a great, very transparent convo is the right way to say it.Lesley Logan 1:33  I would say so I actually really appreciate, like, having someone be so honest about the transition that they're on. I don't think enough people share that. And so I think that was a beautiful gift for everyone listening. Because otherwise you just listen, people got their shit together, and you're like, oh, they got it all together. And it's like, well, you know, they they have it looks that way, but it's a journey.Brad Crowell 1:53  Yeah. And I think, I think the idea of preparing to step away from a job is always a win, you know, to have it together on the inside. So that's good. Anyway. What is today?Lesley Logan 2:04  Yes, well, today is January 22nd. It's four days until my birthday, everyone. Brad Crowell 2:09  What? Lesley Logan 2:09  Yeah, but that's not what today is. Today is January 22nd 2026 and it's Roe Versus Wade Day. Roe Versus Wade Day is celebrated on January 22nd, the anniversary of the court case that gave women agency over their bodies. And here we go. The US Supreme Court made a ruling that legalized abortion throughout the country, with variations from state to state depending on the length of the pregnancy, no matter what your opinion is on the controversial abortion debat,e should not be fucking controversial, and it does matter what your opinion is. But here we go. Roe Versus Wade Day marked a pivotal turn in US history, the anniversary of landmark court decision celebrated by people everywhere, especially by women. Unfortunately, on Friday, June 24th 2022 the Supreme Court overturned Roe Versus Wade, the landmark piece of legislation that made access to abortion a federal right in the United States. The decision dismantled 50 years of legal protection paved the way for individual states to curtail or outright ban abortion rights. My loves. Brad Crowell 2:59  Which is happening. Lesley Logan 3:01  It's happening. It's happened. People, women are losing their ability to have have babies because they can't get what they need. The biggest thing if you, if you're like, uncomfortable with the word abortion, and I get that because if you were raised religious, you probably were raised and it's like, the worst thing anyone can do. And like all these women regret it. I can't speak for these people. What I can say is, men get to go to every fucking state in the country, and their rights don't change. But if I go to different states, my rights do change. And for the majority of the listeners, you go to a different state, your rights do change. And it's just really pisses me off that we don't have like that we're constantly fighting for equality in this capacity. And what this means is hospitals and doctors in the areas where there is not abortion available will have less experience and less understanding about what to do when a mother needs it. And if you try to tell me, in case of like, the healthcare of the mother, the doctors are so scared and they will have to answer questions. Brad Crowell 3:59  That they're not helping the mother.Lesley Logan 4:01  That they're that they're not so we have to wait till women go septic, yeah, which is the worst you you are lucky if you come back from that a normal person. So it just really pisses me off, because this is not a this should not be a fucking law. This is a health right.Brad Crowell 4:15  So as of November of this year, 2025, 12 states have near abortion bans, or for all intents and purposes, abortion bans in place. Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Lesley Logan 4:32  Was Idaho on there? Brad Crowell 4:33  Idaho is on there. And addition, North Dakota has a near total ban that was recently revived in the state's Supreme Court, which makes it a felony to perform an abortion, except in limited medical emergency or cases of rape and incest. And that's the problem. The problem is the limited medical emergencies, and that's never clear. And so regardless of whether or not the doctor knows that that's what needs to happen, the hospital is basically saying, don't, don't do it because they're gonna get. Yeah or the doctors themselves are worried about it, because, you know, like, in Texas, they're like, going after doctors. It's nuts.Lesley Logan 5:09  There's okay. So I saw something recently, and I'm hopefully, as I as I say out loud, I'll get it right. So because some states are trying to grab doctors from other states that are helping women access abortion, right? Like some doctors from New York can send medications to people in different states and and allow them to safely, you know, have a decision over their body. And some of these states are trying to, poor women are going to different states, and then, you know, so the state that the woman is from is trying to do something to the doctors or the woman for doing that right in the place where they have a right. And someone explained it like, okay, Nevada has legalized gambling, right? But let's say you're from a state that doesn't have legalized gambling, and you go to Nevada and you gamble, and you win money, right? You gamble. It's proof you did it. That would be like the state you're from arresting you for gambling.Brad Crowell 6:06  So you didn't finish that. So then you go home to whatever state, yes, and they arrest you, yes. But you were in Nevada.Lesley Logan 6:12  Yes, where it's legal. Brad Crowell 6:14  Right. Lesley Logan 6:15  So if that, if you're like, oh, that doesn't make any sense. It's the same fucking thing when it comes to women's and abortions like this is and to be honest, like if you struggle with this, I really need you to do some extra research on what an abortion is, on what the Bible has even said. I need you to understand what, what, what week a baby is even viable on their own. And then I need you to look at how much it costs to be a parent, and you need to understand if you are also not voting for health care for children, for food at all of their schools and all these different things you do not care about life, you don't. If you are not, if you are also not voting for every single thing that makes it illegal to be poor in this country, you do you don't understand what being pro life actually means. And I know that sounds harsh, but that's how I feel. It's how I feel. I used to, used to think, okay, well, they can have a difference of opinion, not anymore, not when women are dying, not when women who are not able to have the babies that they want to have because something went wrong and that affects their ability to have babies in the future. No.Brad Crowell 7:21  Yeah, the laws that that are being passed are, I would argue that the terminology is confusing that I would not say it's fair to call them pro life. They're, in fact, pro birth. So they're, they're not looking out for the mother ever. They're looking out for what could hypothetically be a child someday, maybe. Right?Lesley Logan 7:43  Yeah, that they don't, that they're not going to care for once it's once it's born. Brad Crowell 7:48  Well, that's not necessarily the case but. Lesley Logan 7:50  I'm not talking about the parents. I'm talking about the law. I'm talking about the, the parents, oh, some of these people already have kids and they're like, I have enough. Some of them just are in the wrong time of their life. Some of them don't want to have them. Some of them, you know, it is with someone that they don't want to have a child with. This is all their rights to have. Brad Crowell 8:05  Yeah. I mean, the running joke is that the law cares before you're born, and then once you turn 18 and you can join the military, but between those times, good luck.Lesley Logan 8:15  Yeah, yeah. So anyways, I, I know, I know there's there's there's, I understand if you are someone who has a hard time with this topic, because I do remember being a child and a teenager and a young adult having a problem with this topic. And the more research I did, the more I realized how many, how, how hard it is for a for the woman in this country, specifically, and how, how much, how, in this country, we have women who will die giving birth because we do not do proper medical research, we do not care baby like we have a high mortality rate in this country that we should for a first world country, because of all, and because what I've seen what having a baby does with her body, it is her choice. She should be able to do what she wants, and there isn't judgment negatively around it.Brad Crowell 9:03  Yeah,we have a higher maternal mortality rate than most other high income countries. Whis is mind blowing.Lesley Logan 9:09  And then when you go deeper, when you go deeper, look at how high it is for black women versus white women.Brad Crowell 9:14  Yeah, significantly higher risk for black women and women over 40.Lesley Logan 9:17  And if you are worried, it's because, oh, maybe it's a different No, a high school educated white woman will have more likelihood of surviving over a medically educated black woman because of racism in this country and the stress it does on our bodies. My loves, like I will always, I will fight for women's rights, and one of those rights is having choice over what happens to your body, period, no matter what state you're in and if you don't want babies to be aborted, then you need to go to your congress people make sure that they're taken care of, because I think more women would even have a child if they had help and support. We don't do that here. So on this day, call your congress person, see what they're doing for people who have children and need help.Brad Crowell 10:00  Yeah, yeah. This is a tough this is a tough conversation. I think that. Lesley Logan 10:06  It's hard. Brad Crowell 10:06  Well, it's, what frustrates me is also that this is for 50 years the law was clear, yeah, and then three years ago now, we've got a bunch of Supreme Court justices who are like, just kidding, and they're just taking these kinds of rights away. And that frustrates me more than anything, is that that, that that's even an option. That shit, it was, it was the law of the land, you know. So that's, that's insane to me, and I, I think that the only way that stability gets created is if we are all paying attention to the things that are happening in our state and also in our federal government. But you know, right now, it's up to every single state to protect their women, you know, individually. And so it's important for you to participate in this and be educated and call the people who are making the decisions in your state.Lesley Logan 11:01  And also, it used to be, if you didn't like something for you personally, you just don't do it. So if you don't like abortion, don't get one. Brad Crowell 11:08  Right. Lesley Logan 11:09  But like, like, you know, it's just, it's really hard. It's just it get gets me really. I was just at the I was just at the women's clinic today. I love my women's clinic. If you do live in Las Vegas, the WHASN clinic. Shout out to the WHASNclinic. It is fucking phenomenal. At any rate, they have like, a sign on the wall, which is like, how to prevent pregnancy, right? And sterilization for a woman, or vasectomy for a man, are in are like, not going to have a baby, not going to happen, okay? And then they go through like, okay here are the birth controls. This is how we have to change them. This is how effective they are. So it starts to go from 99.9% to like 97% to 94% here effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. And here's what it said at the bottom of this. And this is like mind blowing that they do not teach people in school because they don't want you to know, because they want you. They want you dumb and pregnant. They if you are not doing anything to prevent pregnancy. So you aren't on a birth control, you don't have any protection going on birth like things like that. He doesn't have anything. You're 85% likely to have a baby if you are, if you have reproductive abilities and you don't, don't do any intervention, the chance of you getting pregnant annually will be 85% not in your lifetime, annually. So don't be shocked when people end up pregnant. People can, they can accidentally take not even accidentally. They could get sick and they need an antibiotic, and it it causes their their birth control to not work, literally, right? I have friends who had IUDs, and their parents got pregnant with them. So like all people can do all the right things and still have this pregnancy happen, and it might not be the right time for them, or it might not be the right thing for them, and they that is their fucking business. Period. I have no judgment towards people who do it or don't do it. It's up to you, but it should be up to you, and the fact that it's not in certain states pisses me off. Anyways, we do need to move on, yeah, but hope, hopefully you're off. I feel like people are fired up with us, but just pass it on to your friend.Brad Crowell 13:09  Yeah. Well, look, let's shift gears here. That's a heavy topic that we're obviously very passionate about. So thanks for following along. Here's what's coming up in our world here.

Her name is Shannon Billings, and she pinged us on IG and she said, hey, I saw those, those posters that you guys made of all the exercises in a grid, and I want to hang them on my wall. Lesley Logan 16:20  Yeah, they're pretty. Brad Crowell 16:21  But I cannot find them. I don't know where I'm supposed to be looking. Where should I where can I find those posters?Lesley Logan 16:26  Yeah, so they're on the OPC site, and the quickest link is just opc.me/posters. And here's the coolest thing about these posters. You guys right now, we're not good at going to the post office, so these are print on demand posters. They're beautiful, so don't let that change. They don't. Doesn't change the quality. Quality is freaking awesome. Yeah, they're great. What it means is, when you, wherever you live in the world, they'll probably print it somewhere near you. So that means shipping to you is actually not astronomical.Brad Crowell 16:50  Yeah, it's pretty reasonable. We've had people order them in Europe or in Australia, and it's, it's not crazy, it's not an arm I'm gonna like to ship. So, yeah, go check that out opc.me/posters, and if you have any questions, just text us at 310-905-5534,Brad Crowell 17:03  Or beitpod.com/questions Brad Crowell 17:04  beitpod.com/questions where you can also leave a win. Lesley Logan 17:10  I just want to add to that, some people are putting two posters per poster frame. So like on one side, it's the mat, and the other side is the reformer or tower. And so if you have not a lot of space, but you want all the posters, order all of them, because you can get frames that have clear stuff on both sides, and you can just like, flip it. Brad Crowell 17:30  Flip it. Yeah. That's clever. Lesley Logan 17:31  I saw a girl who she has my posters, and then she has a different set of posters that are black and white. And so sometimes she wants color, sometimes she wants it to be not. So you can do that. Brad Crowell 17:41  Love that. Lesley Logan 17:42  I know people are so creative, you got to share that stuff.Brad Crowell 17:46  Well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna talk about Pav Lertjitbanjong. Brad Crowell 17:53  All right, welcome back. Let's talk about your conversation with Pav. Pav Lertjitbanjong is the creator of Layoff Ready, the financial resilience program that she built before her work evolved into Pavness Leadership Lab. Lesley Logan 18:08  I love it. So cute. Brad Crowell 18:09  The Pavness Leadership Lab, I love it. She after a divorce that left her financially and emotionally depleted. She spent months avoiding the reality of her situation before finally facing her budget a single day of focus work that revealed nearly a half a million dollars in a forgotten 401(k), pretty crazy. From there, she paid off six figures in debt, rebuilt her stability and retired from corporate life at the age of 43. Today, through the pavness leadership lab, Pav studies how people build courage and make clear decisions under pressure, continuing her mission to empower others, to create long-lasting stability, confidence and options in your lives. Yeah. Lesley Logan 18:47  Yeah. I really enjoyed this conversation, because I think we talk a lot about strengths and knowing what your strengths are. And, you know, we even have a conversation about retirement coming up and things like that. But, like, I think people live in fear of different change, what if I lose my job, what if I lose this. But she's like, okay, so what if we've talked about career resilience and having a career resilience and so allowing yourself to really understand it's better, that it's more than just like, okay, I'm financially ready if I get laid off. It's like, no, like, how can you really understand who you are and what you do, what makes you amazing? So which I really love that she brought up, like, job security is an illusion. It fucking is. And it pisses me off that banks value a W2 when some of us are over here betting on ourselves and every year kicking ass. I'm just saying from personal experience, it's just me. But what don't you think? Brad Crowell 19:32  You're not wrong. It's really annoying. I mean, I don't know how else they would should do it, but like, just historically.Lesley Logan 19:39  Just look at my history. Just look at my taxes last look at what I'm doing. Brad Crowell 19:43  Yeah, there's that.Lesley Logan 19:46  But I but I appreciate that she brought that up. I think we I think people do need to know that their job security is an illusion, so that they can not only have career resilience, but also just be really aware of that they have a lot more power than they think. And I think sometimes people go, oh, my ability to stay in this job is their decision when it's actually your decision. You know, just like an interview, if you want a job, it's your decision, all that stuff. And she also brought up, and I thought this is really cool, the emotional clarity that gives you peace of mind. When you have career resilience, it gives you a lot more clarity. So I think it means, like, less anxiety about, I'm going to lose my job. What am I going to do? Like you just feel a lot better about it, you know? And it's critical, because we are going into a weird world of AI, and I don't even know what that means for a lot of people's jobs, because I teach Pilates, and luckily, right now, AI kind of sucks at doing that.Brad Crowell 20:35  Yeah. I mean, so the conversation that y'all had was more focused on not necessarily walking away from a job that you might currently have, but what if, right, being prepared for worst case scenario? Because who knows, you know, who knows? Like nothing is especially now, things feel very unstable, economically, I think it's more of a feeling than it is a numbers thing. But it doesn't change the fact that it's a feeling still, and people are feeling weird about it.Lesley Logan 21:04  Yeah, and weird feelings have changed economies many times in history. And so, yeah, I also think I just want to bring up.Brad Crowell 21:12  But the point the point is, then that, you know, not necessarily wanting to leave a job, but how do you be prepared for it? And this is the kind of thing that she digs into. Like, she, she talked about layoff being layoff proof.Lesley Logan 21:25  She even has a checklist for you guys, and I think that that is, if that's something you are, like, I want to be layoff proof. Like, I might as well start now. You know, you don't want to start it after. So it's layoff ready.com/emergencykit.Brad Crowell 21:39  Yeah, look, and here's the thing, for those of you who are entrepreneurs like us, you're clearly not laying yourself off. The best thing, the biggest thing you could possibly be doing is conveying to your clients how you are adding value into their life, and not necessarily you are, although inadvertently you are. Pilates is how is your teaching? How? What is it that is benefiting them? How is their life changing? And I'm working on a series right now with our Agency members, where I'm helping walk them through not only how to identify the benefits the changes that they're seeing, but also how to communicate those to their clients without feeling weird about it and not being overly like salesy, because if you can continue to reinforce the why that they initially told you that they were coming and then reminding them about the changes that you're seeing as a teacher in their world, right, it's going to change the way that they value their practice with you. So especially for y'all you know, entrepreneurs out there who laying layoff proof, like, what am I supposed to do for that? I'm not, I'm not firing myself. So how do we make sure that we are maintaining our income? We really have to continue to build relationships with our clients. You have to continue to do that.Lesley Logan 22:59  Yeah, I think that's and we actually have a relationship, like authentic relationship episode coming out soon, like, and they'll be in April. Brad Crowell 23:07  Amazing. I love that. Yeah. Well, one of the things I really dug that she mentioned was she said, how can you really design a life that you wanted to live? It could give you the freedom to walk away, whether that means leaving the job or retiring early. And she said, if you are waiting for security, if you're waiting to feel security, you should be building it, not waiting for it. So whether that is maybe you're learning how to do another skill, or maybe you're learning how to manage money, you know, we've had a bunch of people over the years in the pod about this, like Tess Waresmith is one that comes back to me here and talking about financial stability and literacy, financial literacy. So these are things that you could be learning how to just think through. Lesley Logan 23:51  We have Tess Waresmith coming back. Brad Crowell 23:53  Oh, that's even better. Lesley Logan 23:53  I just oh, it's a great interview, guys. It's gonna be so good. I was just like, girl, I need you to tell me how I'm supposed to do when it's like this, and it's crazy like now, when it feels crazy. I also just want to highlight the don't wait for security created. This is everything this is, this is be it till you see it right here, because I was listening to a phone call conversation in a book club I'm in, and some people were complaining that the situation they're in, they can't create a culture. They have all these other outside things. It's affecting the culture they're creating, and I'm listening to them and like, I get that right? And I was like, I waited a second. I was just like, well, I am in a different studio all the time. Like, I'm in a I don't have a studio, right? And so what do I do? And I'm like, oh, in every space that I go, I own the space that I am, and I create the intention that I want. I create the culture I want them to experience, and I set the stage and I shared that with them. I said, instead of waiting until you can, like, move studios or move this, what if you just acted the culture you want to create in the space right now? Because then, if you do get to change a situation, you'll already have practiced it. It'll be really easy for you to do, or you might not even have to leave. Maybe the culture just changes around you. And so it goes back to like, don't wait to feel secure. Create security. What is the be it till you see it? What does security for you in your job or something else look like? And how can you create it in the space that you're in and wait, instead of waiting for someone to wait for someone to come, put a fence up, you know, you know what I mean, like, you're gonna wait for someone to, like, hand you a lottery tickets you have extra money. Like, what are you gonna do? I think that I like the action step that she's providing here.Brad Crowell 25:29  Yeah, one thing that she was talking about, which might sound a little scary, she actively leveraged debt to to consolidate and then pay off her debt, right? I mean, I've done that too, where I took out a credit card with a balance. I transferred one or two or three credit cards to that one, right? It had something like, if you transfer it in, you get 12 months of, no, you know, no fees, yeah. And so, you know, took those 12 months to pay it down, yeah? So, you know, it just something that seems straightforward, but also might feel you might feel hesitant to get started on that, but you know that stuff's worth, worth thinking through. I think so.Lesley Logan 26:12  I think it's worth talking to people who who understand it too, like a wealth manager or things like that. But like to be honest, that is how the rich get richer, right? Like credit score is, if you're in the States, your credit score is pretty much just like, how do you manage debt? So if you're debt free, and you've always been debt free, and you don't get any cards, you actually don't have a perfect credit score, because you don't have credit for them to like, see how you do. So it is all about strategically leveraging debt to, like, increase that score. You can strategically leverage it to allow you to have the security you need for in case something negative happens in your career or in the journey that you're on.Brad Crowell 26:47  Yeah, well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna cover those Be It Action Items that you had with Pav. Brad Crowell 26:53  Okay, welcome back. Let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Pav Lertjitbanjong.Lesley Logan 27:07  Pav let us know if, after the four attempts, any of us got close on that.Brad Crowell 27:11  She said, Know your numbers, which is so funny, because this is like, I never stopped saying this to our coaching clients. It's so easy to know your numbers, but it seems so hard, right? It seems like this scary black hole of like, oh my God, I don't even know what I need to know. So it just seems like this amorphous, like blob of unknown. And when we dig into the things that most people need to really know is, what are your expenses and what are your income? Those are the things. That's where you want to start, right? What are your expenses and what are your income? Yeah, so she said, for her, it's, she said there's three numbers that truly matter. One is your net worth, right? So she's, she said, assets minus liability. What does that mean? An asset would be, maybe you have a house, right? Liability would be, I have a credit card debt and it has, you know, $10,000 on it. Okay, great. So you have a house that has, you know, or actually, you could say the house is worth $250,000 I still have a loan of $150,000 against the house. So I have equity of $100,000 right? So that's net that's your net worth, right? So that's an easier way to think about that. She also said the second number is something she calls an FU fund, what she describes as that six month cushion that lets you walk away from anything you have to, you know. And today we were talking about it. Maybe it's a little more than six, maybe it's six to nine months, or something like that, where you know, okay, because you know your expenses, and let's just hypothetically say your expenses are 10,000 a month, you know, how do we what's the quickest way that we can get to setting aside $60,000 that's a scary number to be honest. That's a lot, you know, but we got to get started. You have to start sometime, right? And that that kind of buffer will certainly protect you were something bad to happen at an employment situation, and then you feel like, stuck, and you're like, Oh my God, but at least you have a buffer, right? So that's what that that's for. And then finally, she said, your firing number, your fire number, how much money would you need to invest in the market so you can make smaller amount each year on 4% and still have money left to reinvest, right? So what does that mean? That's your like retirement number, right? So for anyone who's who's like financial planner, they'll ask you the question of, all right, how much money do you want to live on a month? Again, let's just say $10,000 and then they'll, what they'll do is they'll work backwards based on your your retirement portfolio, and they're going to assume that you'll be able to live if $10,000 a month is the 4% number, then they'll be able to reverse engineer the number and be like, great. You need to have $2 million or, I think it's more than that, but you'll need to, need to have X amount of dollars in your portfolio so that you can live comfortably on $10,000 a month and never have to worry about it again, because it's in the market, right? So, and the reason that she said 4% is because the average market return is eight, like seven to 8% or maybe even it's eight to nine, I don't remember, but if you can live on half of that, that gives you the other half of what you hypothetically are earning to reinvest back into the market again, right? So that's, that's where the numbers, that's how that kind of breaks down. It's a bit in the weeds. So thanks for following me there.Lesley Logan 30:25  I love that she has those and that you did those ones, because the other one is pretty amazing. And this is simple, but true. Bold doesn't have to be loud, but it has to be true. And so you don't have to have this, like, law, the way I interpret this, like you don't have to make this bold move where you're like, what was that Tom Cruise movie, where he just, like, was like, goodbye, fuck you. I'm out of here. Like, who's coming with me? And like, Renee's. What was that movie? It's the one that everyone quotes, and it's the worst one. Jerry Maguire.Brad Crowell 30:55  Jerry Maguire. Lesley Logan 30:55  Jerry Maguire. Brad Crowell 30:56  Show me the money. Lesley Logan 30:57  Show me the money. And like, but it doesn't have to be like that, but it but, but whatever you do needs to be true to you. And I think that's where a lot of people don't take time, is to, like, really understand, like, what do you want? What do you need, you know, and, and that's scary, because maybe what you want and need is different than what you've been doing, you know, or maybe you've been letting yourself realize, like, how strong you are. And we have a couple great episodes coming up about, like, getting to know yourself and like, also being kind yourself if you haven't lived in that way. But truly, I think that's one of the best be it action items, if you if you can do that, if you could live authentically to you, and you can know your numbers, you are resilient, and you could probably kick some ass. Brad Crowell 31:39  Kicks some ass.Lesley Logan 31:40  Yeah, yeah. So the other thing is, is that Pav has actually been, recently, been doing more coaching in a focused position on the science of making courageous decisions under pressure. And so if you are needing more help with like, making great decisions under pressure, things like that, you can also coach with her. And I think that'll be really if you liked how she sounds and how she coaches and her insight on things. I think that's a really great thing that she's doing. You know, because making courageous decisions are really hard, and also, like, she understands how to, like, take imperfect action, even your nervous system resists. And a lot of people, you know, when you have to make big decisions, sometimes your nervous system does have anxiety. And so of course, it does. Why wouldn't it? It it would be so against what our brain does to go into the fear. So I highly recommend reaching out to her. Brad Crowell 32:25  Awesome. Yeah, that's great. Lesley Logan 32:27  Well, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 32:28  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 32:29  Thanks so much for being here, and thanks for listening to our rants. I do happen to know that people like them and someone reach out after our Transgender Day, and they were so glad that they found us. They found our Pilates stuff, and they like our little rants there. So thank you for that. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it, especially one who needs some career resilience or some support, support under making decisions under pressure and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 32:53  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 32:54  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

President Trump held a 94 minute press conference highlighting the successes of his first year in office. Today at the World Economic Forum, President Trump expressed how the United States was in the midst of the fastest economic turnaround in modern history. As the media campaigns to divide the country with right and left viewpoints, today's panel is composed of Democrats or former Democrats to unpack the issues in the current political landscape. Securing the border is the most agreed upon achievement of the current Trump administration. As ICE operations continue throughout sanctuary cities, tensions flare as protestors take to the streets. In 2016, CNN did ride alongs with ICE and Tom Homan was awarded the highest civilian honor by President Obama. Now that President Trump is conducting operations in Democratic strongholds, the media is painting ICE is a much darker light, even calling them the Gestapo. Today's show tackles all aspects of the issue of immigration, from mass migration to undocumented workers and ICE enforcement tactics. Sparks fly in this Democratic panel debate over immigration.

I've got some big news! I am finally, finally, finally starting to work on a very long-term goal I've had: writing my first book. Well, technically, I've decided to make it a workbook. And it's focused on the brand positioning and messaging process that I have developed, honed, and refined over 10 years of working with hundreds of consultants and coaches. The goal with this workbook, and the reason I chose to make it a workbook, is that I want to make it easier for purpose-driven consultants and coaches to get clarity on what they do and their message, so they can get out there and land the work they deserve. Because we matter. What we do matters. And I want to make what I do available to more people. I had big plans to knock this out over the holidays. I thought I could take everything I already had—podcast episodes, blog posts, YouTube videos, and so many action sheets I use with private clients—and piece it all together. I assumed I'd have a finished workbook by the end of the holidays. That is not what happened. Taking everything I've created and turning it into a cohesive narrative for someone who may never meet me in person was far harder than I expected. But it taught me so much, especially about the power of deconstructing what we do. When you pull your work apart like this, you start to appreciate what you actually do for your clients. I really thought I understood the value of what I do as a brand positioning and messaging strategist. Heck, I've been honing this process for over 10 years. But writing this workbook forced me to see the real power of my work in a way I hadn't before. In this episode, I share the five deep truths I learned about both the challenge and the true payoff of refining your consulting or coaching brand positioning and messaging clarity—truths I could only see after tearing my own process apart on today's episode of the Consulting Matters podcast. In this episode you'll hear: The difference between brand position as a noun and brand positioning as a verb, and why it matters Why deconstructing your work helps you appreciate the value you actually create for clients How the hardest parts of your process often reveal your zone of genius Why brand positioning is about intentional control, not letting the market define you How clarity in brand positioning and messaging serves your future clients, not just your business Where to dive in: 00:00 Introduction to Brand Positioning and Messaging01:05 The Journey of Writing a Workbook04:15 Understanding Brand Position vs. Brand Positioning10:35 The Flip in Brand Positioning Strategy15:41 Connecting Branding to Purpose20:27 Discovering Your Superpowers24:58 The Impact of Branding on Client Trust30:29 Recap Next steps: Deconstruct what you do: Take time to pull your work apart step by step. Look at how you take a client from where they are to where they want to go, and notice where the hardest parts are to explain. Those places often reveal your unique strengths and zone of genius. Audit your brand touchpoints: Review your website, LinkedIn, and other places clients encounter you. Ask yourself what they are communicating about who you help, the value you provide, and whether they instill trust that you are the right partner for the problem your clients are facing.

AI ain't just changing tech… it's escalating power. Countries aren't talking “fair” any more, they're talking “we're gon' take it.” If you don't understand that shift, you gon' keep getting blindsided by headlines while other people are making money off the moves behind the scenes. Here, I'm breaking down how the world is positioning for power in the AI era, and what that means for the money game: tariffs, protests, trade pressure, Greenland, rare earth minerals, shipping routes, Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan… all of it. The promise is simple: you'll stop reacting emotionally to the news and start seeing the game board so you can move smarter in the market. Geopolitics and the stock market, AI arms race, tariffs and trade war, Iran oil sanctions, Trump tariffs, Greenland strategic value, rare earth minerals supply chain, China Taiwan risk, Russia Ukraine war impact, market volatility, defense and energy investing themes, global trade routes.China, Taiwan, AI: The Risk That Can Flip the Entire MarketJoin our Exclusive Patreon!!!

In Part 6 of our 10-part House Flipping 101 series, we're talking about handling the unexpected and what really happens during a flip. No matter how well you plan, surprises are part of the process, and learning to expect them before they happen can make all the difference. We'll cover why having more than one plan matters, how to build the right mindset for when things pop up, and why a padded budget is not optional. You'll also learn why your profit margin should never be used as an emergency fund, and how staying prepared helps you navigate challenges with less stress and more confidence. __________________________________________________________________ New videos drop multiple times every week!Make sure to hit SUBSCRIBE and tap the notification bell, so you never miss a video.If you're finding the content helpful or inspiring, it would mean the world if you shared it.

Sermon: Flip That House Series: Rebuilt Passage: Ezra 1:2-2:70 Speaker: Sam Cassese In the Bible, God reveals Himself as One who rebuilds what's been burned, broken, and abandoned. In Ezra 1–2, a ruined city, a destroyed temple, and a scattered people all raise the same question: Can what was lost really be restored? As God calls His people back, He doesn't just rebuild a building – He erases their shame, challenges their comfort, and confronts the cost of following Him again. What if the very places you assume are beyond repair are exactly where God wants to start building?

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Wednesday at the White House with top diplomats from the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland, its semiautonomous territory, as tensions escalate amid President Donald Trump's threats to "acquire" the island -- possibly even by military force. A fundraiser for a man who was suspended for calling President Donald Trump a “pedophile protector” has raised more than $222,000 in just a few hours. Ford factory worker TJ Sabula was recorded getting into a confrontation with Trump during the president’s tour of one of the automaker’s plants in Michigan.

GOP leaders in the Senate squashed a Venezuela war powers resolution after five Republicans voted to advance the measure last week. Combined with articles of impeachment introduced against DHS Secretary Noem and threats to hold the Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress, it was a busy day on Capitol Hill.

Two cases. Two very different defenses. One retired FBI Special Agent breaking down what the evidence actually shows. Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to analyze the Brendan Banfield trial and the latest bombshells in the Nick Reiner case.In Virginia, the prosecution's own forensics expert concluded their catfishing theory was wrong. Officer Brendan Miller found Christine Banfield controlled the FetLife account, not her husband. The University of Alabama confirmed his work. Then he was told he'd never work another digital forensics case in the bureau. He was transferred. The lead detective was reassigned. Now the state's case depends entirely on an au pair who flipped after a year in jail — a woman who wrote from her cell that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan and that she still loved him. Her sentencing is scheduled after the trial to ensure she keeps cooperating.In Los Angeles, sources say Nick Reiner admits to killing his parents but claims he's the victim of a conspiracy. His schizoaffective medication was changed a month before the murders. The weapon hasn't been found. LAPD sealed the autopsy reports on Christmas Eve. Nick checked into a hotel after the alleged killings. His family spent a fortune on treatment facilities he'd leave after 30 days.Coffindaffer has evaluated cooperating witnesses and insanity claims throughout her FBI career. She explains what investigators look for, what the behavioral evidence reveals, and why both cases have serious problems that won't be resolved anytime soon.#BrendanBanfield #NickReiner #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #AuPairMurder #RobReiner #StarWitness #InsanityDefense #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I have a few sayings I want to put down for you here in the last few minutes. One is the question to ask whenever something comes up in your life—and you can use this all day long: 'What's the lesson?' When you ask what the lesson is, then you train yourself to react to things in a responsible way, rather than becoming a victim. Next is a mantra: 'Things are never as good as they seem, or as bad as they seem.' Because the immediate reaction when you hear bad news, or you hear something that sounds scary, is this: overreact and become intolerant. So remember this: things are never as good as they seem, nor as bad as they seem. Next one is this: 'This too shall pass.' Oh, what a powerful mantra! And that's one that Kṛṣṇa uses throughout the Bhagavad-gītā. Remember, it's just passing through. We're just passing through, so tolerate. Next one is: 'Concentrate on effort, not results.' Put in your best effort. Do the best you can with what you have right now, and don't worry about the results. It's not up to you. 'Whatever you resist, persists.' So if you push back on things, then it grows. Another is: 'Flip the switch.' I'm going to show you how to do it. Just put your hand behind your head right now, everybody—there's a little switch back there. You didn't know it was there. And then, flip it. And you turn off the 'humanoid' in you, and you become a little AI robot. So, turn off your emotion and just learn to do that; you can flip the switch. Another one is to meditate and practice noticing that you are not your thoughts. If you're able to isolate and see that thoughts are passing through all the time, just like clouds, and that you are not your thoughts, you gain a perspective which gives you a means by which you will naturally feel equal in all circumstances. Practice equanimity. Try it out for a week and see what it's like. Try it out for a day. Try it out for an hour. Employ some of these principles and see what it feels like. It's an authorized practice given in the Bhagavad-gītā. People will notice the difference in you. You'll notice a difference in you, and you'll also come to the heart of the matter, which is: 'I am not this body.' I'm just in a body, and I'm in a world that's always changing, but it has nothing to do with me—nothing at all. I just am here by circumstance. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa

Liz and Ben do a little light Summer reading as they tackle one of the biggest Discworld books of all – Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs' The Discworld Companion, in all its various editions (but mostly 2021's The Ultimate Discworld Companion). From the Abbott of the History Monks, to dimensionally-displaced traveller Jack Zweiblumen, the Discworld Companion is an alphabetical encyclopaedia of everything Discworld! Flip to your favourite character, location or thing from across the Disc, and rediscover what made you fall in love with this world all over again. After Stephen Briggs started adapted the Discworld novels for the stage, he started to make notes about how the pieces of this fictional world fit together. He started by suggesting it would be possible to draw a map of Ankh-Morpork, and then advanced to trying to encompass the whole of the world in a single reference work. That was in the 1990s, at the height of Discworld's fame and success – and before the world wide web was on everyone's desk (or in everyone's pocket). But there have been four major editions (and multiple other revisions) of The Discworld Companion since then, each bigger than the last – and the Dunmanifestin expanded edition of The Ultimate Discworld Companion is probably the biggest Discworld book of all time! Do you have a copy of the Companion? Which edition is it? How do you read it, and what are your favourite entries? What would you compile an encyclopaedia about, and what would you put into the Discworld Companion if you got the chance? And do you know where Mr Harris and the Blue Cat Club come from – if they come from anywhere? Let us know your answers via social media (optionally using the hashtag #Pratchat91), send us an email, or comment on our website to join the conversation! You can find episode notes and errata on our web site. Next month it's back to the digital Discworld, as we play and discuss the second Discworld adventure game, Discworld II: Missing, Presumed…!? (aka Discworld II: Mortality Bytes.) Send us any questions you have via email (chat@pratchatpodcast.com) or social media, optionally using the hashtag #Pratchat92. Want to help us get to the end of our six(ish) year mission and read every Pratchett book – and more? You can support us with a tip, or a subscription for as little as $2 a month, and that's cuttin' our own throats! See our Support Us page for details.

5 Mindset Shifts for Retirement Success in 2026 (No Hustle, Just Standards)Imagine it's December 31, 2026… and you're not scrambling, apologizing, or promising “next year will be different.”You're calm. Your money feels intentional. Your life feels designed.In this episode, we're sharing 5 practical mindset shifts for retirement success—especially for LGBTQ+ folks who are tired of starting over every January and ready to build real momentum.These aren't “new year, new you” clichés. They're identity upgrades + small daily standards that compound into big results—like stronger savings, lower debt, and more confidence about retirement.✅ Key Takeaways for Retirement SuccessYour identity doesn't change your life—your standards do.Retirement success is built through 1% changes that compound, not one big “perfect plan.”Many money struggles are really tolerance problems (clutter, subscriptions, debt delays, default spending).You're never failing—you're learning. The win is breaking the loop with a minimum daily standard.Know your numbers, but don't worship the shortage: progress beats panic.
