They discuss the dangers of wearing busyness as a badge of honor and emphasize the importance of managing energy rather than time. The episode introduces the Eisenhower Matrix as a tool for prioritizing tasks and highlights the need for defining personal energy peaks, setting boundaries, and the art of saying no without guilt.

John Bray exposes this vile assassination plot with undeniable proof that shatters their pathetic narrative. Peymon Mottahedeh exposes how American taxpayers are burdened with excessive taxes that fund foreign governments and wars, while neglecting domestic needs. It challenges the legitimacy of federal income tax and calls for resistance against financial exploitation.   Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

The stories you tell your prospects can either win you deals or cost you money. And with the fourth quarter here, you don't have time to get crushed by objections. That's why I'm bringing back storytelling expert Matthew Pollard. He shares a practical framework and proven tactics to help you move deals forward faster, avoid the pitfalls of group decision-making, and position yourself as a trusted advisor to your clients.Meet Matthew Pollard· Known as the Rapid Growth guy, Matthew Pollard is responsible for five multimillion-dollar business success stories. · Today, Forbes calls him “the real deal,” Global Gurus lists him as a Top 30 Sales Professional, and Selling Power Magazine just named their 2023 Sales Kickoff Speaker of the Year. · He's also the founder of Introvertu.com and the bestselling author of The Introvert's Edge book series, which has sold over 100,000 copies and been translated into 15 languages.Why Deals Stall & How to Accelerate Them· We start off the episode about why so many deals stall out in today's market. Since COVID, buyers have gotten way more cautious, which means more people are involved in every decision—and sales cycles keep dragging on. · Matthew breaks down the real problem: sellers overwhelm prospects with too much jargon and detail, and that just pushes them to bring more decision-makers into the mix.· He shows us how to flip the script by giving buyers a clear, personal reason to champion you and move forward now, instead of letting fear and red tape slow everything down.Storytelling: The Ultimate Sales Tool· Rather than relying on dry case studies or testimonials, Matthew emphasizes the power of emotive, client-centered storytelling. He breaks down his story framework:o Focus on a real individual (not just a company or title).o Highlight the emotional and opportunity costs of inaction.o Paint a vivid transformation, showing personal and professional wins.o Explicitly state the moral, inviting the listener to see themselves in the story's success.Implementing the Framework· Matthew demonstrates how stories can turn hesitant prospects into proactive champions determined to advance their own careers—while making the organization look good. · He provides practical, memorable examples, and explains how even small details (like missing a family event) can make your narrative resonate.“Nobody cares what you do until they see that you care. And then they actually care far less about what you do. They just want you to do it.” - Matthew Pollard.Resources· Find Matthew's storytelling framework in his books, downloadable PDFs, or connect via LinkedIn.

Are you worried you'll launch your subscription box and no one will subscribe? You're not alone. This fear shows up for nearly every subscription box owner at some point, especially in the early days. In this Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing a mindset shift and some simple, strategic steps to help you move forward with clarity. Even if you're starting from zero. If fear or self-doubt has you feeling stuck, this is the pep talk you need. Instead of worrying about launch day numbers: 1 - Know that this fear is normal. The fear of “no subscribers” doesn't mean you're not cut out to be a subscription box owner. It means you care. Acknowledge the fear, but don't let it call the shots. 2 - Don't obsess over your launch date. Setting a date can be helpful, but it's not the most important thing. Focus on taking action and building momentum before the cart opens. 3 - Start building your waitlist now. Your waitlist is your best launch asset. It gives you an audience of warm leads who are interested, engaged, and ready to buy when the time comes. 4 - Understand that clarity comes from action. You don't need all the answers to get started. Just take the next right step. Then the next. That's how you build both confidence and progress. Your Friday Fuel Challenge You're not behind. You're just getting started. The best way to start? Take one small action this week to build your waitlist. Post a teaser, create a freebie, and talk about your box. Progress beats perfection. Every single time.

Today Eric shares a sales training session focused on improving discovery calls. He proposes a new approach, inspired by a clip from Charlie Kirk, that suggests starting sales conversations by asking the client to share their story regarding the project or problem, which he believes will lead to the customer's true motive faster. The speakers engage in role-playing scenarios—including one about fixing a pond liner leak and another about installing a waterfall—to test the efficacy of this "story" approach versus conventional questioning, with much of the discussion centering on active listening, cadence, and the importance of recaps and addressing the customer's emotions. The overall goal of the proposed technique is to increase efficiency and save time during the sales process. Key Takeaways: Initiate interactions by asking for the customer's story to quickly understand their motive and context. Focus on efficiency to save minutes during interactions, as these saved minutes accumulate into larger gains. Redirect overly lengthy conversations by stating you need to slow down to take notes and ensure you can properly address their needs. Perform consistent practice and role-playing to refine your skills and improve performance in real-world scenarios. Always recap discussions by including the client's emotional motive and story, not just the scope of work.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how biological rhythms and neurochemicals impact our perception of time. I describe how the body aligns with daily and seasonal light cycles to regulate hormones that influence energy, mood and motivation throughout the year. I share science-based tools to enhance focus and productivity, including strategies for structuring work intervals and optimizing the timing of exercise and daily light exposure. I also explain how neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin influence our perception of time and how factors such as novelty, emotion and routine impact how we experience and recall time.

The first movie ever screened in the White House wasn't Casablanca or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was The Birth of a Nation: a Ku Klux Klan recruitment ad that glorified white rage bloodlust. A century later, Trump's White House is the sequel: staged propaganda to glorify lies, violence, and hate against freedom fighters–otherwise known as antifa–otherwise known as World War II veterans who won the war against tyranny. Because if you're not antifa, you're pro-fascism.  Trump is the Frankenstein monster of America's darkest chapters: Jim Crow, McCarthyism, Watergate, and reality-TV nihilism. But the heroes who stormed Normandy didn't die for us to cower before a spray-tanned con man. Which brings us to the Epstein Files: the panic button of MAGA-land. If the Epstein Files were nothing, Trump and Mike Johnson wouldn't be working so hard to shut down our government and prevent a vote. “Teflon Don” has gotten away with years of crimes, including inciting a violent attempted overthrow of our democracy, which led to several deaths, including of law enforcement. So why is he so panicked about the Epstein Files? The truth will come out, as it always does. And remember: bullies only understand strength. So keep pushing, keep shouting, and for the love of democracy: Release. The. Epstein. Files.

We explore how embracing uncertainty enables us to move beyond climate anxiety and despair to hope and action, with author and activist Rebecca Solnit.Summary: When you think about climate change, do you feel hope? In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we examine what it means to feel hopeful for the future of our planet. Renowned writer and activist Rebecca Solnit shares why she loves uncertainty, what gives her hope, and how hope empowers her. Later, we hear from climate scientist Patrick Gonzalez about why he believes climate hope is scientifically sound, and how much power we truly have to create meaningful change.How To Do This Practice: Acknowledge the hard stuff: Hope doesn't come from ignoring reality, it begins with honesty. Naming the fears, grief, or overwhelm we feel about climate change and life's challenges. Remember uncertainty leads to possibility: Despair often assumes the future is fixed. But history is full of surprises and turning points. When we leave space for uncertainty, we leave space for possibility. Focus on progress, not perfection: Every step forward matters. Clean energy expanding, policies shifting, communities protecting what they love. Small and large wins alike fuel the feedback loop between hope and action. Nourish yourself with beauty, awe, and joy: A sunrise, music, dancing, kindness, or the courage of others can all awaken something bigger in us. Awe quiets despair and helps us see new ways forward. Connect with others: Hope grows when it's shared. Joining movements, communities, or simply leaning on friends creates a sense of belonging and power. Together, the ants can move the elephant. Practice hope daily: Some days hope comes easily; other days it doesn't. That's normal. Journaling, noticing progress, limiting bad news, and showing up in community are all ways to keep practicing.

Brian Ference exposes how Israel whacked Charlie Kirk for ditching their Greater Israel scam, using fake Christian tech fronts to geofence and spy on TPUSA patriots. These synagogue of Satan operatives are tracking your phones, pumping pro-Israel psyops into your feeds, and building AI dossiers to control us all—it's time to wake up and fight back!  The Jews and Israel silenced Charlie Kirk for daring to break free from their stranglehold on America. We're exposing their blood soaked plot to keep our nation under their thumb! American citizens, including Christian Palestinian-American Huwaida Arraf, are being kidnapped and tortured by Israel's military for daring to bring aid to Gaza, and our so-called leaders don't bat an eye.

Today's guest is Manuel Buitrago. Manuel is a PhD, along with being the founder and director of MaStrength, a global education brand dedicated to authentic Chinese weightlifting. Since launching MaStrength in 2014, he's taught 100+ seminars worldwide, authored Chinese Weightlifting: A Visual Guide to Technique and Chinese Weightlifting: Technical Mastery & Training There are many misconceptions in the world of strength training, especially as the lens of a skeletal pressure-based view is not included in modern training systems. When skeletal pressure dynamics are understood, it allows us to see why athletes prefer particular variations of lifts, how and why they fail lifts, and what aspects of the lifts themselves lead to better athletic outcomes. On today's episode, Manuel speaks on the practicalities of weightlifting and how it carries over to sport. He compares powerlifting and Olympic lifting from a technique and transfer standpoint, and gets into how body shapes, breathing, and set-ups affect a lift. Manuel also touches on connective tissue and why it matters for performance and durability. From this episode, you'll learn concepts about the Olympic and powerlifts that can not only improve lifting performance but also facilitate a better transfer to athleticism and movement ability.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:20 – The Path to Chinese Weightlifting: A Journey from Gymnastics to Asia 9:30 – Breathing and Torso Shape are the Primary Differentiators Between Olympic and Powerlifting 25:01 – Weightlifting Squats are a Bottom-Up Movement, Distinct from Powerlifting 58:29 – Coaching the Olympic Lift Breath: Creating a "Funnel" for Upward Force 1:05:53 – Applying Shape Strategy to Different Athletes and Sports 1:24:49 – Direct Abdominal Work is Low Priority for Olympic Lifters Actionable takeaways 9:30 – Breathing and Torso Shape are the Primary Differentiators Between Olympic and Powerlifting Change your shape during the lift; successful Olympic lifting requires switching between shapes, not maintaining one position. To move up (the pull), create a "funnel" shape: narrow the lower torso (compressing the abs) and expand the upper torso (chest). To move down (the catch), change to a "cone" shape: narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, which enables faster descent. Avoid starting the lift with a powerlifting-style breath (squeezing the top and expanding the belly against a belt/creating a cone), as this impedes the upward movement necessary for Olympic lifts. 25:01 – Weightlifting Squats are a Bottom-Up Movement, Distinct from Powerlifting Recognize that the squat in weightlifting happens after the catch and is a bottom-up movement, which is fundamentally different from a powerlifting squat that starts from the top and descends. Squats performed from the rack (front or overhead) will look different from a heavy catch, as the catch is an unweighted descent followed by an immediate bottom-up drive. Focus on the funnel shape during the unrack and ascent of a weightlifting squat to maximize the upward gradient. 58:29 – Coaching the Olympic Lift Breath: Creating a "Funnel" for Upward Force From the start position, exhale and compress the abs until they feel tight, then maintain that tension. Inhale while maintaining ab compression, directing the air to fill and expand the chest and the mid-back area (between the shoulder blades) to create the full funnel shape. Do not take a maximum breath (gasping) as this removes space to move and can force the body into a rounded shape that is counterproductive for the lift.

6x Your Ad ROI: The Power of Google Reviews for Cash Practices In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down how one simple factor—Google reviews—can transform your return on ad spend (ROAS) from 2x to 12x. Using a real example of two nearly identical clinics, he explains why social proof is the difference between average and elite marketing results, and how to build a system that keeps reviews (and new patients) flowing. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Case Study: Two clinics, same ads, same demographics—one made 12x ROI, the other only 2x. The difference? 250 Google reviews vs. zero. Intent-based ads win: Google search leads are high-intent buyers looking for a real solution, not just scrolling. Social proof = trust: Buyers skip clinics with few or no reviews. Local reputation heavily influences clicks and conversions. AI search impact: Platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini still pull heavily from Google data—especially reviews—for local service rankings. ROI math: A 12x return means hiring faster, filling schedules, and scaling with confidence; 2x means ads are barely sustainable. How to 6x Your Return on Ad Spend Ask in person: Don't automate gratitude. When a patient shares a big win, that's your moment to ask for a review. Make it easy: Text them the direct Google review link right then. If they use Gmail, they're likely already logged in—instant review. Follow up: People get busy. Email or text them again a few days later with the same link and a quick thank-you note. Train your staff: Encourage your team to ask happy patients too—especially those they love working with. More ideal patients come from more aligned reviews. Automate wisely: Use email triggers to request reviews mid or post plan of care, but never rely on automation alone. Mindset & Systems Fundamentals matter: Gathering reviews may not feel flashy, but it's like dribbling with your non-dominant hand—it changes your game. Track outcomes: Compare ad performance monthly. Reallocate spend toward high-ROI locations with more social proof. Empower your team: Remind staff that reviews bring in more of the patients they enjoy treating—reducing burnout and improving morale. Notable Quotes “The difference between a 2x and a 12x ROI isn't your ad—it's your reviews.” “Social proof is your digital word of mouth. It's what people trust before they ever meet you.” “This is like dribbling with your non-dominant hand. It's not sexy—but it wins games.” Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Audit your listings: Count your Google reviews and compare them to competitors in your area. Create a script: Role-play how your staff asks patients for reviews at the right time. Use Gmail leverage: Focus on patients with Gmail accounts—they can review you in seconds. Celebrate wins: Share positive reviews in team meetings to reinforce the habit. Measure ROI: Track ad results before and after review pushes. The data will speak for itself. Action Items Text your Google review link to 5 happy patients today. Train your team to ask at every discharge or major breakthrough moment.

Host Eric Thompson sits down for a thoroughly enlightening conversation with the incredibly driven Adam Sobel, a top real estate professional from North Atlanta, in today's episode. Together, they dig into Adam's inspiring personal journey of achieving a full year's worth of real estate production in just six months, fueled by the impending arrival of his first child and the powerful desire to be fully present for his family. This episode is packed with tangible insights for anyone looking to supercharge their real estate business, integrate work-life balance, and align professional goals with deep personal values. In this deep dive, Adam reveals the three pivotal strategies that fueled his success, showcasing how he elevated his real estate game beyond traditional methods. He reveals his innovative approach to real estate reviews, leveraging technology for personalized video updates that surprise and delight clients, as well as his clever and budget-friendly client appreciation events, like a car wash concept that guarantees quality one-on-one engagement. Finally, Adam redefines how he manages his "warm list," transforming it from a passive contact list into a proactive pipeline by focusing on clients experiencing significant life changes. Be sure to take notes on this one, and get ready to integrate intentionality, consistent follow-up, and a strategic mindset into your own real estate business for unprecedented growth. Episode Highlights: A compelling "why" drives action. Transform your mindset to achieve goals. Use innovative video for personalized reviews. Host strategic client appreciation events. Proactively manage your warm list based on life changes. Consistent follow-up is non-negotiable. Focus on what works and double down. Smooth out business cycles with a consistent pipeline. Key Takeaways: "If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got." "I need to be on the warm list because those are events that lead to moves." "The more intentional you get...is really transformative and the path to success." "I didn't know what I didn't know." "I really wanted more, especially for our first child, time at home and flexibility to be able to enjoy that time." "If I'm seeing those trends and active on social media or hear that someone, you know, has a job promotion or is expecting another child, like they need to be on the warm list." "You're never at a loss for, 'Well, what am I going to say when I reach out to them?' It's always about the event." "All of a sudden you see a bunch of opportunities sitting right in front of you."

Recorded on October 8th, just days into the shutdown, this episode provides practical, actionable guidance on navigating the financial challenges of missed paychecks, accessing zero-interest loans from military-friendly banks, and protecting yourself from shutdown-related scams.

Budget season feels tighter—and more uncertain—than ever. At The Lodging Conference, I spoke with Joseph Bojanowski, President of PM Hotel Group, about how he's tackling budgeting, inflation, and a confusing economic outlook heading into next year.   Here's what stood out:

Do you ever start something with fire and excitement — a new business, a fitness plan, a book, a podcast — only to lose steam a few weeks in? You're not alone. Most people hit that wall, and when they do, they let emotions take the wheel. They quit. And yet, here's the truth: quitters never win, and winners never quit.In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest reasons people fail to follow through — their feelings. We'll talk about why emotions are often the enemy of progress, how to push past them, and the daily habits and mindsets that will keep you showing up long after motivation fades.

Ever feel like selling is awkward, pushy, or just not you? For so many women entrepreneurs, sales feels like the hardest part of business—but it doesn't have to.In this episode, I'm joined by Andee Hart—entrepreneur, sales strategist, and host of She Sells Differently. She shares the most common sales mistakes women make (and how to avoid them) so you can sell with integrity, confidence, and even joy.Here's what we cover:Why mindset always comes before skill set in salesHow to align selling with your values (and ditch the scripts!)The power of curiosity over assumptions when talking to customersWhy not everyone is your customer—and why that's good newsAndee's wisdom will show you how sales has everything to do with time as a business owner…and why the ROTI is worth it!

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Julie Weiss — also known as The Marathon Goddess. Julie's story is one of resilience, healing, and purpose. After losing her father to pancreatic cancer, she set out on an extraordinary mission: to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks, raising awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research along the way. Her journey captured hearts around the world — from the Today Show and O Magazine to countless finish lines across the US. But behind the medals and media attention is a woman who found strength, joy, and hope through running. Now in her fifties, Julie has completed over 118 marathons, raised more than $1 million for research, and continues to inspire others with her message that it's never too late to chase your dreams, honour your loved ones, and find purpose in every step. In this conversation, Julie opens up about:  How running helped her heal from grief and depression  The challenges and triumphs of running 52 marathons in 52 weeks  What it takes to stay motivated and injury-free through massive goals  Her empowering “7 C's to Defy Your Limits” — Create, Certainty, Connect, Commit, Consistent, Cause, and Courage Julie's story is a beautiful reminder that transformation begins with one small step — and that every mile can make a difference.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

That's why Mel Sauder, Founder and President of MVP Kids, is inspiring others with his dedication to helping kids develop critical “living skills” through immersive storytelling and multimedia resources.MVP Kids is a mission-driven company that creates award-winning books, puppets, and now, a groundbreaking animated series. “We founded MVP Kids 10 years ago because we have a passion for kids. Our kids, your kids, all kids,” Mel explained. “How do kids learn living skills? How do they learn what their emotions are and how to manage them? How do they build their character?” These are the questions that drive their work.At the heart of MVP Kids are 16 diverse characters carefully designed to help children see themselves and others in an inclusive, inspiring way. “We developed 16 unique kids where every child can see themselves and kids who are different from themselves,” Mel said. “We celebrate differences—not just skin color, but hair, size, family structure, and personality.” By creating relatable, trusted friends, MVP Kids teaches essential values like kindness, resilience, and emotional intelligence.The next big step for MVP Kids is bringing these characters to life through animation. Working with legendary children's storyteller John Semper, whose credits include “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” and “Fraggle Rock,” MVP Kids is developing an adventure-filled series aimed at teaching kids while entertaining them. The company has already secured a $2.5 million matching commitment from animation studio Toonz and is raising the rest through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on NetCapital.Mel's passion for this work stems from personal experience. As the proud grandfather of 14 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, he's witnessed firsthand the importance of building character from a young age. “Kids' character isn't developed overnight—it's built day by day,” he noted. MVP Kids creates tools for parents and educators to foster those daily lessons in fun, meaningful ways.What stands out most about MVP Kids is its commitment to leaving no child behind. Whether it's a puppet helping a boy work through anger issues or an animated hero teaching resilience, Mel and his team are creating life-changing resources for families.You can support this inspiring mission by exploring their crowdfunding campaign at NetCapital. Everyone deserves the chance to invest in a brighter future for kids.tl;dr:MVP Kids helps children build character and resilience through multimedia tools like books and animation.Mel Sauder's passion for kids inspired him to create 16 diverse characters kids can relate to.The company's animated series is being developed with storytelling legend John Semper.MVP Kids is raising capital via NetCapital, with a $2.5M match from animation studio Toonz.Mel's mission is to empower parents and educators to raise compassionate, high-character children.How to Develop Passion for Raising Good Kids As a SuperpowerMel Sauder's superpower is his deep passion for helping children grow into resilient, high-character individuals. “Our superpower is just our passion for kids, for raising what we call real MVPs,” he explained. This relentless commitment has driven Mel and his wife to dedicate over a decade to creating tools that empower parents and educators to build strong, compassionate children. By focusing on universal virtues and avoiding divisive topics, Mel ensures that every child can benefit from their resources.Illustrative Story:Mel's passion stems from personal experience. When he married into a family with two teenagers, he faced the challenges of blended family dynamics and realized how much support parents need. His efforts to build a strong, loving family inspired his mission to help other parents. Now, MVP Kids provides tools like books, puppets, and animated stories to ensure every child has trusted friends and mentors to guide their growth.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Take ownership of your role in shaping children's futures.Commit to spending daily interactive time with kids, even before birth.Use creative tools like stories and laughter to teach character and life skills.Collaborate with experts in fields like child psychology to enrich your efforts.Focus on empowering kids to be their unique selves rather than pushing specific agendas.By following Mel's example and advice, you can make passion for raising good kids a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMel Sauder (he/him):Founder and President, MVP KidsAbout MVP Kids: MVP Kids® is an immersive entertainment ecosystem combining fun storytelling with our sixteen trusted friends—relatable MVP Kids characters who celebrate differences and grow alongside the audience.

Demons disguised as pastors like Greg Locke are gutting Christianity from the inside, turning God's house into a Zionist slaughterhouse where wife-beaters and adulterers baptize suckers under Israeli flags to fund the Antichrist's throne. These Synagogues of Satan freaks aren't shepherds, they're wolves feasting on your tithes while plotting to drag true believers into eternal hellfire for their Jewish overlords.   Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet essential nutrients: vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. While other B vitamins often take the spotlight, B1 is critical for energy production, nerve function, and overall resilience. Jared explains why not all forms of B1 are created equal, highlighting the difference between standard water-soluble versions and the more bioavailable fat-soluble forms such as benfotiamine and sulbutiamine. You'll learn how benfotiamine supports nerve health and circulation, while sulbutiamine penetrates the brain to deliver steady energy and focus without the jitters or crash of stimulants. Drawing from history, research, and his own formulating experience, Jared shares how these powerful forms of B1 help protect against sugar damage, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance everyday vitality. Whether you struggle with fatigue, nerve challenges, or simply want more consistent energy, understanding the right form of vitamin B1 could be a game-changer.Products:Ultimate Vitality MultiNerve ReverseActive B ComplexBenfotiamine Aloe Life Detox Plus + CellCore Binder (Vitality Radio POW!

Leadership Under FireWhen I sat down with Lance Olmsted, I expected a story about discipline and precision.What I didn't expect was how deeply human it would be.Lance served as a U.S. Marine. He learned to lead in the most uncertain environments imaginable — where hesitation could cost lives and empathy wasn't optional.That's right...empathy. And you'll never forget why when you hear his story.Those lessons stayed with him and became a positive guiding force.Today, as President of Copperleaf, an IFS company, he's guiding global teams and helping industries use AI to make smarter, faster decisions.Before that, he helped drive a $1 billion unicorn exit by applying the same mindset that got his Marines home safe:✅ Focus on the mission, not the noise.✅ Act fast and adapt faster.✅ Build trust before you need it.✅ Lead with empathy, even under fire.His story is proof that military leadership still works — not because it's rigid, but because it's built on resilience, clarity, and purpose.Which part of this perspective resonates most with you?-----Follow Lance on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-olmsted-98708568/-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

In “Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders”, Joe Lynch and Trey Griggs, Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of BETA Consulting Group,  discuss the strategy for logistics leaders to build a trusted brand and create sales momentum using clear messaging, social proof (testimonials), and self-awareness to replace reliance on their shrinking professional network.

Key Takeaways: Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders In “Sales Insights for Logistics Leaders”, Joe Lynch and Trey Griggs, Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of BETA Consulting Group,  discuss the strategy for logistics leaders to build a trusted brand and create sales momentum using clear messaging, social proof (testimonials), and self-awareness to replace reliance on their shrinking professional network. Shift from Network Selling to a True Marketing Engine: Selling exclusively to your existing network in logistics eventually hits a wall. Sustainable, massive sales momentum requires building a defined marketing engine that consistently generates brand awareness, trust, and a predictable pipeline of high-intent buyers. Foundational Messaging is the Sales Accelerator: Logistics companies must move away from confusing industry jargon. Leaders should adopt clear, customer-centric messaging frameworks (like Storybrand) to ensure prospects immediately understand the problem being solved and the solution offered, thereby reducing the sales cycle and increasing engagement. Social Proof is the New Sales Pitch: Relying on sales reps alone is inefficient. Logistics leaders must proactively build social proof—primarily through customer testimonial videos—to let clients do the selling. This "social proof" builds immediate trust and credibility, especially in the technology sector. Self-Awareness Drives Sales Leadership: Effective sales leadership in logistics technology is rooted in self-awareness. Leaders who understand their personal strengths and weaknesses are better equipped to coach their teams, build strong personal brands, and create a culture of intentional, rather than reactive, sales performance. Build a Brand, Not Just a Sales Team: In a crowded logistics technology market, the brand is the lead generator. Focus your consulting and content efforts on building a known and trusted brand that attracts high-quality buyers who are already predisposed to work with you. The Breadth of Logistics Tech Knowledge Matters: For sales teams selling technology (TMS, Visibility, RPA), deep knowledge across the entire freight ecosystem is crucial. Leaders must ensure their teams can speak fluently about complex solutions to both brokers and carriers to position their product effectively. Embrace the Coach's Mindset: Drawing from his background as a teacher and coach, Trey emphasizes that sales leaders should prioritize coaching and development. Instilling discipline and a focus on core sales techniques is the key to creating a team that consistently exceeds goals, regardless of market volatility.

This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears.

Summary What if the "practical" parenting strategies you're searching for require something deeper first - the liberation of your own mind? In this episode, Janet and Doug explore the third instrument of formation: LIFE - the intentional pursuit and savoring of ideas that are good, true, and beautiful. Drawing on research about manufactured mental captivity and personal stories about breaking generational cycles, they reveal why parents can't create relational safety for their children while their own minds remain captured by anxiety-producing information systems. This isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you, and learning to choose which ones and toward what end. Janet and Doug discuss: The Operating System You Didn't Choose We inherit operating systems from our family of origin - either developing trust relationships in grace environments, or adapting through pseudo-connection to meet unmet needs Both love and sin are processes of meeting needs - the difference is the source Our bodies create efficient neural pathways to whatever meets our needs, whether healthy or unhealthy As children, we can't do what we've never seen The Effort of Decision Once you've agreed with God that truth sets you free (John 8:32), you stop wasting energy choosing between old coping strategies and new life When you live through struggle with the integrity of being connected to God and your true self, you want MORE of that joy Experiencing freedom improves your vision - mental decluttering becomes celebration rather than chore Convictions made in advance make daily choices easier (example: choosing reading season over streaming) Manufactured Mental Captivity Research shows psychological knowledge is being weaponized to keep minds "enslaved to consuming, conflict and outrage" This manufactured mental chaos pushes people into survival mode (threat detection) and striving mode (performance anxiety) Parents can't create relational safety for children while their own minds are captured Mental illness often emerges when pain and performance goals collide The Three Questions Framework What am I absorbing without choosing it? (information diet, social media, news cycles) What am I intentionally seeking? (difference between consuming content and savoring ideas) What am I savoring that puts gas in my tank? (beauty, goodness, truth as fuel not luxury) This Week's Experiments: Mental Diet Audit Track for 3 days what ideas you're absorbing Notice how your body feels after different inputs Create awareness, not shame One Intentional Choice Pick one good/true/beautiful thing to seek daily Could be: one poem, one chapter, one worship song, time in nature Focus on intentionality, not perfection Notice the Difference Pay attention to your nervous system throughout the day Do you feel more grounded or more anxious? How does it affect your capacity for your family? Remember: The instrument of LIFE isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you. The question is: which ideas, and toward what end?
